Fairfield News: Substance in Gould Manor Pond

#Fairfield CT--If you have driven by Gould Manor on Holland Road and saw the firetruck the the firefighters have been trying to contain a very large green substance in the catch basins and pond.  Suzanne, a concerned citizen/neighbor spotted the spill earlier in the day and was mad thinking someone poured anti-freeze into the waterways.   She called Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) who in turned called the Fairfield Firefighters.  Assistant Fire Chief George Gomola coordinated efforts to contain the substance with booms.  The substance may also be a dye that was used to test sewer systems.  I saw firefighters collecting samples before I left.  Special thanks to Suzanne for providing these pictures.

Why I’m Covering The President’s Visit

A good portion of the daylight Sunday I'll be busy with covering the president's trip to Bridgeport's Central High School.  DoingItLocal.com is political free and this isn't really breaking news so why would I be covering it?  It is after all a political rally endorsement to reelect Governor Malloy. There are many reasons.  The most important reason is that I will be recording the entire event and posti it on line for YOU.  It isn't everyday the president visits our area and I feel it shouldn't be just available to a few lucky individuals to get tickets.  It is also historic.  I still hear city officials make references when Abraham Lincoln visited the city March 10, 1860.
