The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Aug. 24, 2009

Wallingford: Sounds as if North Farms Reservoir is an “Orphan Pond” the way some railroad bridges, built by extinct lines but never included in any sale to the state or anyone else, were just left to chop ff the tops of trucks. It’s going to be a while before that pond can be stripped of its vegetation and kept that way, one would guess.

Meriden: It’s kind of funny. For years, people in both parties complained that Connecticut law didn’t allow for primaries, and what an undemocratic situation that created. Now we have a primary, and the complaint seems to be that it’s too expensive. What isn’t acceptable, but basically unavoidable, is that so few people will vote.

Meriden: East Cemetery, which received so much volunteer help last year to remove overgrowth and rubbish which had accumulated for decades, is now being redrawn, and it appears there are at least a couple of technical issues with boundaries . . . which won’t, naturally, be “technical” to the immediate neighbors.
