A story that seems similar to Bay City…..

NORTH KINGSTOWN, RHODE ISLAND (AP) – Residents of a Rhode Island town say a local hemp farm is negatively affecting their quality of life.

WJAR-TV reports that several North Kingstown residents told the Town Council on Monday that the smell from a 65-acre hemp field at Sodco Turf is unbearable.
They understand the hemp is grown for industrial reasons and is not marijuana, but sometimes the smell is overwhelming.

Neighbor Tommy Vigil says even with the windows closed it sometimes smells like someone is smoking pot in his home.

Dawson Hodgson, who runs the hemp field, says the smell is temporary and he is in compliance with state regulations. He said he wants to be a good neighbor.
Town officials say they are working with the state to see what can be done.

A great idea, but you wonder why it took so long to think of it!

NEW YORK (AP) – Lego is looking to keep its plastic bricks out of the trash.

The toy maker is testing a way for customers to ship their unwanted bricks back and get them into the hands of other kids. It says customers in the U.S. can now print out a mailing label on its site, dump their used Lego bricks in a box and send them off for free.

Lego says the blocks will be cleaned, placed in a box and given to Teach for America, a nonprofit that will donate them to classrooms across the United States. Some bricks will be also sent to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston for their after-school programs.

Lego says if the test is successful, it may expand the program beyond the U.S. next year.
