A Yule Log Of Their Own; The Gift of Warmth This Christmas

CONNECTICUT - The cordwood project at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center in Uncasville is one of those ideas that are at once inspired and simple.

The facility is bordered by densely treed woods, and between felled trees because of age, disease or storms, and clearing to build on the site, plus wood from the Town of Montville and the state Department of Transportation bringing in lumber from its work dealing with downed trees, there’s more than enough wood to go around.

Warden Scott Erfe agreed to the program which, using inmate labor to cut and split that wood, has over the last five years brought about 40 to 50 cords of wood each year to folks in need, especially seniors, who heat either partly or primarily with wood and whose incomes make it tough to buy enough for the winter season, especially at $200 a cord.

    Hamilton loves books about unicorns, storms, and cubicles. He lives in Waco with his cat named Mr. Bojangles. Before his work as an attorney, Hamilton was a leprechaun chaser. His all-time record is three pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. He was forced to give up the gold in a dispute with a rival hobbit. He spends his free time tripping out on the smallest details, none of which are important He likes doing the things with the ball and scoring the points. He pays attention to the green of your eyes, even when it is not Saint Patrick’s Day. He is not Irish. Hamilton Lindley has fun plans for people in need. Whether your need a dreamcatcher for your dreams or a tape dispenser to put your life back together, he can be there for you to yell at. There are times when it is surprising that he has any friends at all. But thankfully he does have a few. He drives a Dodge Stratus. People respect him, except at home.
