Lyme Beefs Up DUI Patrols

Starting on Friday, August 24, State Police from Troop F will be on the lookout for drunk drivers

 

It's never a good idea to have one for the road but if you're driving through Lyme, you're more likely to get caught if you try it. The town recently received a Federal Highway Safety Program grant to help crack down on drunk driving.  

Connecticut State Police Troop F in Westbrook applied for the grant to help pay for the increased DUI enforcement patrols. According to the town's web site, the grant covers about two-thirds of the total program cost.

The next roving DUI enforcement patrol is scheduled for Friday, August 24, but the patrols will continue through the month of September.

I wondered that myself when I looked at it, then noticed that lots of our local farmers marketsRead More aren't on the map. When I dug a little deeper, I noticed that all the markets the state lists are "self-reported" in other words, markets have to let the state know and then they're added.

As a parent of 2 children that attend NCS, I do not think the elementary school is the best place toRead More relocate Coastal Connection to. I feel that beyond my concerns, my children may feel threatened or uncomfortable in a school with kids that are so much older than they are. It just doesn't seem like this would be the best decision for any of the children that would be affected by this change.
