    Coppola retires
    Francine Coppola is retiring after almost 44 years in Education—more than 35 in West Haven. She has been the Director of the Adult Education program for the past 20 years, and the Coordinator for Fine Arts in the regular day school. Under her guidance the Adult Education program has grown to now include three different ways to earn a high school diploma. Students can take classes in the evenings or online through the Odyssey program, through the GED program, or through the National External Diploma Program. She was honored by Superintendent Neil Cavallaro at the Adult Education Graduation ceremony in recognition of her service and devotion to Adult Education as well as her service as the Fine Arts Coordinator for the district. She is pictured with Cavallaro and teachers from the Adult Education program.

Groundskeepers Jim Simeone (left) and Bob Sheridan had their work cut out for them to get the Little League Fields ready for weekend play. League schedules all over the city are backed up because of the wet stuff.

    Continuing our series of postcards and photos from the Savin Rock Amusement Park, we show a 1931 rendering of the Mill Chutes ride. This and many such rides were popular at the Beach Street-based park for much of its long tenure. Next week, longtime resident and now Florida exile Barbara Howe Santoro will tell us of her experiences growing up in West Haven during the park’s heyday.
