Administrators and the school resource officer conducted an investigation and believe THC edibles may be the cause. Around ten students made their way to the nurse's office this afternoon (3/31/22) prompting the probe. The source of the illness seemed to be shared chocolate according to the presser. This is some of what DPD had to say:
"A preliminary investigation indicates that the students became ill after ingesting some form of edible chocolate believed to contain THC. The chocolate in question has been recovered by police investigators, who will attempt to identify its contents. Students responsible for having distributed the chocolate were identified by school administrators and interviewed. Other than being treated by the school nurse, we have no information that indicates students will need further medical attention. As the investigation continues, further details will follow."
THC - a crystalline compound that is the main active ingredient of cannabis.

A Curious Excursion in an Underground Brookfield Tunnel
Recently, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine, I told this person I'd accessed some caves and tunnels in my hometown of Brewster, NY which is just over the NY/CT State Line. He knows how much I love local history, and saw how excited I was about this journey. He told me there was an area of Brookfield, CT that I needed to see, one that most residents have never seen. He told me about a tunnel, one that was not far away from where we were sitting. I made note of the conversation and bookmarked the destination for a future trip.
Exploring Beyond the Rusty Gates of Danbury's Oldest Cemetery on Wooster Street
I live just down the block from the Wooster Street Cemetery and whenever I pass, I am always struck at how odd it is. You have this quiet, beautiful place that is dedicated to the people who were buried there, in the middle of a busy city and almost no one ever goes there. I decided to go take a deeper look around and see what was beyond the iron gates and stone walls.
