Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Granby Schools Weigh Tighter High School Cellphone Rules (patch.com) — Granby school officials are debating whether to tighten cellphone rules at Granby Memorial High School beyond the current in-class ban, following new but nonbinding state guidance. The district is also reassessing student screen time on school devices and refining rules for using AI tools like Google Gemini, aiming to balance technology's benefits with privacy, learning, and face-to-face interaction priorities for Granby students.
• Small Birds in Distress (ct.gov) — If you find an injured or orphaned small bird in or near Granby, this guidance explains when to return it to the nest and when it truly needs help. It also lists licensed rehabilitators, including Granby's own Margaret Adamec, with phone and email so residents can quickly get expert assistance.
• Granby man in court charged for killing bear (wfsb.com) — A Granby homeowner who shot a bear he says was attacking his chickens and other livestock is no longer facing criminal charges after a court appearance in Torrington. The case has sparked discussion at the state level about whether Connecticut laws should more clearly allow farmers and homeowners to use lethal force to protect their animals from bears.
