Dear Friends,
I hope you all can join me Thursday, Nov. 29th, at 7:30pm, at the Wilton Library for a League of Women Voters' Forum on Medical Marijuana. State Representatives Boucher and Lawlor will be there, along with members of the medical community for an exchange of views and a question and answer period.
This should be interesting!
Ted

Ted,
The best policy overall is "catch and relocate"--there
is nothing better. What do you think?

Cliff, Here is another issue you might be able to help me with.... Peacefully living with coyotes... My recent missive to the locals follows....
Dear Friends and Concerned Citizens, I am sure by now most of you have read or heard about sightings and incidents involving Coyotes in Wilton. More specifically, I am sure many of you have seen the picture of poor Leo, the Lakeland Terrier and beloved family puppy, that was recently killed by coyotes in south Wilton, as was confirmed by our Animal Control Officer Bob Napoleon. Let me be blunt and honest, plain and simple. If that happened to my dog, Sasha, I would be in my backyard with shotgun in hand as you are reading this. I spoke out about this issue at the last Board of Selectmen's meeting, thus volunteering to be the point person. I knew from the beginning this would be a difficult issue for me; the dog lover and realist, versus the environmentalist and idealist. That being said, my research thus far has found that a gut reaction to this incident, and the issue at hand, will not provide us with an easy remedy or solution. While I cannot blame someone for wanting to catch the coyotes responsible for the loss of their pet, hunting or trapping coyotes on town or water company land may not be the answer. It is not that simple. According to several sources, including the DEP, trapping and removing (which means killing, as relocation is not on the DEP's agenda), will not necessarily alleviate the situation, as coyote populations rebound quickly. My conclusion is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. No matter how many coyotes are trapped and killed on private or public land, the following precautions provided by the Humane Society will still be necessary. -Don't leave bowls of pet food or water outside overnight.-Keep garbage in a sturdy container with a tight lid.-Don't put garbage cans on the curb until pick up morning.-Compost in enclosed bins not exposed piles.-Clean up around bird feeders.-Keep all pets inside at night and watch small dogs while outside, even during the day.-Keep cats indoors.-Spay or neuter your dogs.-Make sure fences are more than six feet high and secure at ground level.-Some aversion agents used for dogs and cats have been used with some success.*Humane trapping and removal should be used only as a last resort.***While at first glance, removal seems like a quick and easy solution, this approach is likely to have the opposite effect. When inidividuals are removed from a population, there is some evidence that the next year's litter will be larger than normal, so over time there might be more coyotes than before.*** I am always open to any and all information, research, and opinions that may help us work toegether to find a better resolution to this issue. Thank you for your time and consideration, Ted Hoffstatter

Hello Ted,
Thanks for your email and info on the 11/29 meeting in Wilton. I've
forwarded the info onto NORML's state outreach coordinator, Ron Fisher, to
send an alert to NORML's CT listserv...and to NORML board member and former
Green Party candidate for CT, Clifford Thornton.
Again, thank you and congratulations,
-Allen
