The good number of audience from far and near came to see the two-day performances, A “Thank You” to Roberts Theatre…3 Years! by The CRIDDERS at the Roberts Theatre in West Hartford, Connecticut on Saturday, March 15th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 16th at 2:30 p.m. The performers recalled their 35-year memories of their favorite songs, music and skits in sign language directed by Leslie Warren, Artistic Director. The CRIDDERS started in 1979 after the Connecticut Registry of the Deaf (CRID) hosted the national conference for the interpreters of the Deaf in Hartford, and the CRIDDERS gave their first performance so many loved it very much. The CRIDDERS decided to continue this special entertainment for deaf and hearing people for 35 years.
The Connecticut Retirement Colony (CRC) was selling the sweets and drinks during the performance intermission to raise the funds for the purchase of the school building to convert it into the apartments for deaf elders. Ed Frith helped Jim Pedersen and Michael Fiorino at the CRIDDERS on Saturday along with MaryAnn Corson. During the Sunday intermission Sue and Jim Pedersen, Michael Fiorino and Shirley Desrosier worked together selling candies and water.
Everyone always went home enjoying the CRIDDERS performances with their happy faces.
September 17, 2014The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs.
During the last decade Americans have turned in more than 4.1 million pounds—more than 2,100 tons—of pills.
This is important because it has been reported that 6.8 million Americans have abused prescription drugs in recent years and the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs has risen. Studies have revealed more than 54 percent of people who abuse prescription pain relievers got them through friends or relatives, a statistic that includes raiding the family medicine cabinet.
In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.
