How Time Flies through the AIR

35 Years! WOW! Congratulations W-X-C-I. That's the College Radio Station at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury. The School and the Radio Station's Alumni this past weekend celebrated the growing milestone of excellent radio.
Thanks go to many people who got WXCI On-The-Air, and launched so many careers, including mine.
What a pleasure for me to meet and talk with General Manager Justin Mazzarese. Justin, I love your spirit and enthusiasm, keep striving for your dreams. You are WXCI....helping to mold future broadcasters, podcasters, webcasters and whatever communications medium comes along during the next 35 years and beyond.

I-95 Speed Cams


During her State of the State address, Governor M. Jodi Rell proposed funding a pilot program to install Speed Surveillance Cameras along I-95 to monitor and ticket speeders between Old Lyme and East Lyme. I say, why not! I live in the area and it might help slow-down the speeding 4 wheelers and truckers.


That's not the only stretch of roadway that could use some traffic enforcement cameras. You thought the "Connecticut Dragway" was dead?

How about i-91 Northbound between Middletown and Cromwell? Or the stretches along Route 8 ? Did we forget about i-395 Waterford? I- 84 Ashford?


When Channel 3 Eyewitness News promotes the fact that we are EVERYWHERE, we are EVERYWHERE and vary aware.


I welcome a pilot program. If modern technology can help our Connecticut State Police Troopers monitor the speeders then let it be, maybe lives could be saved.


What do you say?
