Dear Editor,<br />
To look at me, you are bound to come to the wrong conclusion.<br />
The years have been hard on me. I am 70 years old.<br />
I fought in Vietnam. I suffer from a host of health problems,<br />
including PTSD and chronic pain. My face and body reveal<br />
my condition and my experiences.<br />
Last year I was arrested. I had argued with a school principal<br />
about how my grandson was being treated, and the<br />
principal contacted the Berlin Police. I was sitting in my car,<br />
trying to calm down, when the officers approached me.<br />
They conducted a field and breath test, which was inconclusive,<br />
and later a blood test, which showed the presence of<br />
marijuana.<br />
Among the medicines I take to relieve my pain is legal<br />
marijuana. I have a medical prescription for the drug. I do<br />
not abuse it, and at no time was I impaired. But the law presently<br />
doesn’t seem to distinguish between impairment and<br />
the presence of THC in you blood stream.<br />
I hired a lawyer, who persuaded me to take a plea, pay a<br />
fine, and lose my license for a month, rather than taking it to<br />
a jury trial. The whole ordeal cost me over $2,500, and it left<br />
me feeling as if I had been the subject of discrimination,<br />
largely because of the way I look.<br />
I am not writing this letter to claim I was not guilty. The<br />
court has decided that. I write because I hope for a little<br />
understanding from the criminal justice system for others<br />

“Sunny Day, Papa!”<br />
By G. E. Shuman<br />
I’m not sure why, but I believe this<br />
summer season has meant more to me<br />
than any other summer I can remember.<br />
Lorna and I often go for rides through<br />
the countryside of our gorgeous state, and<br />
it just seems more beautiful to me than it has in summers<br />
past. The tree-covered mountains are so filled with gorgeous<br />
shades of green; wildflowers seem to be everywhere this<br />
year; the scent of freshly mown lawns is almost addictive.<br />
Everything just seems more vibrant and brighter this year,<br />
and, as I said, I don’t know why.<br />
Perhaps the reason is simply due to the very long and cold<br />
winter that left us only a few months ago, or the fact that both<br />
my wife and I retired in June and have more time to enjoy this<br />
season together.<br />
I, personally, have also recently given some thought to the<br />
fact that, for me, there are certainly many more summers in<br />
my past than in my future, at least in this life, and that I truly<br />
need to look at the lush and plenteous green and other<br />
beauty of the season, and appreciate it all. I do remember<br />
times when I would arrive at work in the morning and be<br />
greeted by a colleague or two mentioning the great or not so<br />
great weather. Some days, with other things on my mind, I<br />
had not even noticed what weather I had just driven through.<br />
I have decided to at least notice things like that from now on.<br />
Then there is also a wonderful reminder in my life, of the<br />
great blessings of summer. Our nearly three-year-old granddaughter<br />
Nahla spends several nights a week at our home.<br />
who might be treated as criminals for the way we look.<br />
It’s only human nature to make judgements on other people.<br />
Too often we think we know a person simply by looking<br />
at a face or a body. There are laws against discriminating<br />
against people for their race, gender, and sexual orientation,<br />
but there are no laws against discrimination based on<br />
appearance. Obesity implies self-indulgence. Age implies<br />
diminished mental abilities. Poverty implies a moral failure.<br />
Each of these quick judgements is wrong, but all too common.<br />
Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed of a time when people<br />
would be judged by their character, rather than the color of<br />
their skin. We can dream of a time and place where character<br />
counts more than appearance. We need to be more sensitive<br />
to other people’s conditions.<br />
In our lives each of us has challenges, limitations, special<br />
needs, and hardships. Most of us keep them hidden from all<br />
but our closest friends and relatives. Meeting me on the<br />
street or in a restaurant, you might be repelled by what you<br />
see. I’m old and I’ve done my share of suffering—but it<br />
shows in the way I walk and talk and the way I look. I can’t<br />
change this. It is what age and nature have done to me. I am<br />
not what I look like. It is not fair to judge me by stereotype.<br />
It is not fair that anybody be judged that way.<br />
Thank you,<br />
Eddie Walbridge<br />
P.S. I believe that there is a type of profiling occurring here.<br />
This needs to be looked at. I’m not sure who would be the<br />
one or ones for me to talk with this about, but this is a big<br />
issue that definitely needs to be foremost in the minds of<br />
individuals that are making decisions that effect other’s life.<br />
Now that marijuana has been legalized, and is being used for<br />
medicinal treatments, authorities are making judgements<br />
that are unwarranted and then act on them.<br />
When she does, she invariably wakes me up in the morning<br />
by jumping on the bed and excitedly yelling: “Wake up!<br />
Sunny day Papa! Sunny day!” Even though this usually happens<br />
at least an hour before Lorna and I would normally get<br />
up, it just doesn’t get any better than that.<br />
So, if things aren’t perfect in your life, as is true for all of us,<br />
maybe you need to get outside and really SEE the trees, smell<br />
the grass, and check out the flowers. Maybe you need to realize<br />
that even though your future is a day shorter than it was<br />
yesterday, you still have time to appreciate our beautiful surroundings.<br />
Or, maybe you need to find a nearly three-yearold<br />
to jump on your bed in the morning and share with you<br />
the wonder and excitement of a sunny day!
