Sympathy, at least some, for the gentleman who became lost while hiking or wandering in Meriden's Hubbard Park and then got stuck when he attempted to climb the rick face, requiring rescue and a citation for illegal climbing. These local cliff faces are well-known to climbers, but it should be stressed that appropriate gear should be used and that whatever permits are required be obtained before climbing.

For better or worse, an expensive Connecticut murder trial has been avoided in the case of the Yale grad student by a lab technician after the latter agreed to a guilty plea. We hope that the family of the victim can get some closure from the settlement.
A proposal to start overhauling Connecticut teacher evaluations so talented newcomers are less vulnerable to layoffs and seniority rules don’t shield incompetent educators, could be a start toward a better system. IT’s important to work toward compromise.
The statistics presented on Connecticut Community College graduation rates seem unfortunately to be tailor made for use as a weapon to trim budgets than as a tool to guide these institutions. Considering that admissions are open, a low graduation rate is to be expected in any case.
