                           Quinapoxet River
    
    I din'nt think you all caught this articlE about the Quinapoxet
      river that was in the Worcester Telegram May 21 Tuesday,
          One house in Holden decided to get rid of termites
      and pumped 200 Gallons of a mixture containing a 1 percent
      solution of the active ingredient chlorpyrifos into a hole
      in the basement floor May 10, the mixture which then went
      into the drainage system that went into storm drain that 
      that feeds a stream that feeds Lincoln Avenue pond, Chaffins
      brook, Unionville pond, a stream there to the Quinapoxet River
      as far as Canada Mills which is (TWO MILES) from the Wachusett
      Reservior, so you do not fish the river or where it enters
      the reservior cause it said all is dead Fish Frogs and Turtles,
      that was May 14 but it was reported May 10. It takes three to
      100 days to be asorbed by orgainic matter, it MIGHT take years
      to come back.. (Per words from the paper) Dam!!
