Circle K Donates to CES Smoking Pot: What You Can and Can’t Do By Amy Jeanroy As of January 30th, marijuana is legal to smoke in the state of Maine. A person over the age of 21 can now legally possess up to 2.5 ounces, and give away up to 2.5 ounces, but not sell it or receive anything for it. Marijuana can not be smoked in public and doing so can result in a fine up to $100. Smoking in private is legal, as is smoking in what is called a “social club,” a state-licensed location where customers can use marijuana in a social setting. Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, meaning federally licensed gun dealers can not sell guns to marijuana users. Communities have the final say about whether or not to allow cannabis-related businesses to open, and a medical marijuana card is still required to purchase any form of cannabis products. It is now legal to grow up to 6 mature plants, 12 immature plants and any number of seedlings, each tagged with the grower's name and ID number. Your growing area can not be visible, and it must not be accessible to anyone under the age of 21. One of the problems with the new law is the language around workplace drug testing. Employers will still be able to use drug tests to screen potential and existing employees, and forbid employees from coming to work under the influence of marijuana. The issue is that a drug test does not prove that the person is under the influence at the time of the test. This unclear testing hurdle, also means that while driving under the influence of cannabis is still illegal, officers will have to rely on field tests and other Eric Garland and Jaylan Johnston holding the check and from left to right are Laurie Miller evidence to determine if someone is high while driving. sales manager at Circle K; Sue Carter, principal; Scott Carrier, Circle K North Street manager The legalization of marijuana in Maine still does not have all and Brenda Batson, 4th grade teacher and keeper of the library.

District VI Music Festival Family Fun Day On The Way

By Amy Jeanroy Baileyville Police Chief Bob Fitzsimmons is once again organizing a Family Fun Day at Pokey Lake this year. Scheduled for February 18 (free fishing day for Maine,) the Chief is hoping that the weather cooperates this year. “We need some cold weather and also some snow to cover the ice up.” Still in the planning stages, volunteers and donations are needed to make the day a success. People are needed to drill holes, bring tip-ups and show kids how to use them. Part of the fun is always the eating, and thanks goes out to the Princeton branch of Machias Savings Bank who donated 400 hot dogs, buns and condiments. On the fish end of things, donations of bait will be needed as well. Calais High School students participated in the District VI Honors Music Festival in Ellsworth This drug and alcohol-free event will be kid friendly, but not on January 26, 2017. These students practiced all day with other students from Washington and for your pets. Please leave dogs at home. Hancock Counties and performed for the public that evening.

It is also a genre that doesn’t get made very often but one or two times a year one makes its way to the big screen. “La La Land” is a new film that takes place in Los Angeles where everyone is doing something to get by while they chase their dreams. Sebastian is a struggling jazz pianist chasing his dream of owning his own club and playing jazz the traditional way. Mia is an actress working as a barista waiting for her big break as an actress. Sebastian and Mia find their paths keep crossing, leading them to a love story set against the back drop of making or break- ing it in the city of Angels. Watching this movie I was reminded of the old Hollywood musicals from the forties, fifties, and sixties. The way the numbers are choreographed and the story bring to mind classical musicals like “Singing in the Rain,” “An American in Paris” and many others. It really is an old fashioned musical with a modern twist and setting. “La La Land” is a musical and a love story so be prepared for spontaneous singing and dancing for no reason. I have to say that I found the acting to be top notch and the Last week's students at Calais Elementary School that were "caught being good" were Jacob musical talent well executed. One of the things I particularly like Footer, Isabelle Urena-Cherry, Hope McLaughlin and Kassidi Porter.
