    If there was one facade that served as an iconic reminder of Savin Rock Amusement Park for those of a certain age, it had to be the clown face that bedecked the Laff in the Dark that stood on Beach Street. The “horror” ride was a popular stop during a trip to the old park. The ride was torn down with urban renewal in the 1960s, but remains a memory for many.

    Children throughout West Haven were given a taste of opera as a former WHHS alumnus and colleagues visited the city’s elementary schools a part of the “Opera in Our Schools program. Alum Mark Hanke has sponsored the program for the past three years, bringing the world of opera to city students. This year’s production was “Why the Moon is Free.” Shown here is Nicole Weigelt.

    Weather forecasters are telling us what we’ve suspected since about the middle of April – the drought is over throughout Connecticut. Since January, the state, and particularly the coastline, has experienced higher-than-normal precipitation. Last week was a good example, as below- average temperatures kept jackets at the ready, and people walked around with a bumbershoot in case of rain. This was taken over the weekend.
