• Farmington Council Honors 2 Eagle Scouts For Work On Nature Trail, Athletic Fields (patch.com) — Farmington residents can take pride in two local Eagle Scouts recently honored by the Town Council for major community service projects, including a rebuilt bridge on the Mountain Spring Nature Trail. The council issued special Farmington proclamation days for both teens, highlighting their volunteer work, school activities, and statewide athletic accomplishments, with a state representative also presenting official citations.
• Police: Driver drowsiness cause of crash that killed Brewster man (midhudsonnews.com) — A fatal crash on I-84 in Farmington has led to multiple charges against a Connecticut driver who police say had been awake for about 20 hours before his van struck a Brewster man on the shoulder. Investigators cite video evidence of drowsy driving and note that several motorists tried to save the victim, who later died at UConn Health.
• Reporter's Notebook: What Kosta Diamantis left behind in Connecticut (ctpublic.org) — A former state budget official's heavily mortgaged Farmington home is at the center of questions about how he remained free on bond before fleeing overseas.
