MERIDEN — The Quinnipiac River Watershed Association rang in the spring season with its annual trout stocking on Tuesday night. With an assist from local families and supplier Harding Trout Hatchery, the QRWA made its way to the Red Bridge and deposited 86 fish representing three species of trout. The QRWA further built on what Harding Trout Hatchery owner Brian Harding called a nearly 30-year partnership between himself and the group. See Fish, A2

In an attempt to prevent addiction and reduce overdose deaths, since 2010, the Drug Enforcement Administration has hosted National Drug Take Back events across the U.S. The effort provides Americans with an easy way to properly dispose of unused or expired medicine stored in their home which otherwise could be susceptible to abuse and theft.
