The Editor's Notepod, Tue., June 1, 2010

Wallingford: in search of non-chlorine solutions to pool care. It seems there are alternatives, but one needs a certain amount of commitment.

Sounds as if there were the usual number of state motor vehicle misdeeds over Memorial Day weekend – but not, perhaps, as many accidents as have been feared. Speeding tickets, seat belt tickets – not the way to enjoy a fine weekend.

Primaries in Connecticut: Looks like a possibility for a whole mess of contests on both sides of the aisle, thanks to the opening of so many jobs through retirement or otherwise. It’s not necessarily either a bad or a good thing but depends on how it plays out and how much damage all the party rivals do to each other.

The Quinnipiac River which flows through all local towns remains “impaired” as an official matter, but over the years, its condition has improved quite significantly. This year, the garbage extracted during the spring cleanup seemed to be of an older variety, suggesting that the volunteers were getting down into the backlog of discarded junk. Someday, perhaps, we will all learn not to use the river as a dump.
