The Editor's Notepod, Mon., July 18, 2011

Crescent Lake in Southington seems to be proving its worth as a recreation site, judging from the description of its peace and tranquility in today’s edition. It took a long time to work out the acquisition, but residents should be glad the deal was finally completed.

Employment in Connecticut continues to challenge those looking for work, but some sectors are doing better than others. While that does offer hope, one can only wonder whether chances would really be improved by someone trading experience in one career for trials in another field, even if there are more jobs there.

Lifeguarding in the area’s public pools (there are eleven scattered among Meriden, Wallingford, Cheshire and Southington) is a necessary job and a good one for young and responsible adults to help in raising college funds and to have a good time outdoors. But it’s also one which requires serious training and one in which you can never let your attention wander.
