Marijuana gets nod from Department of Justice  

 

By Steve Gintli

 

Legalized marijuana advocates can breathe a little easier - the federal government will not attempt to block Washington's legal pot laws. See story... 

But don't expect to legally buy pot in Point Roberts any time soon 

 

By Ian Ferguson 

 

 Just a few months before the application period to end, the state has issued long-awaited rules on the growing, processing and sale of marijuana. See story 

 

Dump prices going up

 

Effective October 1, dumping fees at the local transfer station will be increasing a penny a pound, from 13¢ to 14¢ a pound. Garbage pickup rates will remain the same, however.

Fire chief Chris Carleton is looking for two-three community members who did not paint a hydrant to join fire department members in judging the newly painted hydrants. If you would like to be considered, please forward an email of interest by Monday at chief@wcfd5.com.
