State: The anti-marijuana laws. Not being a pot-head myself, I don’t really understand marijuana, but I have never seen the point of these laws. Blame J. Edgar Hoover for them: when Prohibition was repealed, he was going to be out of a job unless he found another substance to proscribe. Pot is it. Its proscription is an obsession and a colossal waste of time. The only sense in which pot is a gateway drug any more than caffeine or, heaven help us, nicotine is because in buying and using it an individual is brought into contact with persons with a criminal lifestyle who would sell something stronger.
Meriden: Story on the RJ's last press run. It really brings home a lot of things that have changed over the years.
Wallingford: town and Choate Rosemary involvement in English teaching/coaching at the library.
Meriden: Glad to see that the Quinnipiac River Watershed Authority is still working on the new quarters at Dossin Beach; they’ve got a lot of money to raise, though, to finish the job.
Southington: UNICO, in addition to the Goat Island building, also will care for the 1760 West Street School house, and the South End School. UNICO, since I didn’t know, is a club originally founded as an Italian-American service organization in Waterbury in 1922. The letters originally stood for “Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, and Opportunity.”
Wallingford: Congratulations to firefighters honored at Senior Center by Chief Peter B. Struble.
Cheshire: Police cars now have video recording for each interchange during vehicle stops. Time to smile and be on candid camera.
