Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Plainville's farming past highlighted in newest town series (newbritainherald.com) — Plainville residents can explore the town's rich farming roots in a new episode of the local series "Plainville: The American Experience," which spotlights longtime family farms and familiar locations. From Cowlesville to Pinnacle Rock Farm and today's J. Timothy's, the story traces how agriculture shaped Plainville's early growth and why that "grown in Plainville" legacy still matters.
• CIAC football Week 4 by the numbers: Fun facts, figures from CT's high school football scene (middletownpress.com) — Plainville football fans can cheer on quarterback AJ Abarno, who has already thrown for 900 yards and 12 touchdowns while leading the Blue Devils to a 3-0 start. The team hosts fellow unbeaten Tolland on Friday at 6 p.m., one of just two statewide matchups between undefeated squads in a week packed with notable streaks and milestones.
• Man charged in death of 11-year-old Jacqueline 'Mimi' Torres-Garcia facing new charge (wtnh.com) — An accused killer already facing serious charges in a child's death is now also accused of burglarizing a car in Plainville and attempting a home break-in in Middlefield on the same day as his arrest. Investigators say Ring camera footage, credit card activity, and a co-defendant's statements helped link him to the attempted burglary, adding a new charge to his extensive case.
