Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. West Haven approves automated noise cameras to fine loud vehicles up to $100 (nhregister.com) — West Haven is rolling out automated noise cameras and handheld sound meters that could fine drivers up to $100 for excessively loud vehicles, especially along shoreline neighborhoods. City officials are still setting decibel thresholds, while residents hope the technology will finally curb late-night engine revving and booming music without increasing direct police stops on local roads.
2. West Haven marks 25th anniversary of September 11th attacks (wfsb.com) — Bradley Point Park in West Haven was filled with hundreds of flags, each honoring a firefighter lost in the September 11 attacks during a 25th‑anniversary ceremony. Local fire officials, families, and residents remembered West Haven victim Richard Gabrielle and others with prayers, music, and reflections on the lasting emotional and health toll of that day on Connecticut families.
3. Cheshire rallies from 13-0 deficit to beat West Haven in first game of new season (wfsb.com) — West Haven High's Blue Devils let a 13–0 lead slip away as Cheshire stormed back with safeties, a late field goal, and a 15–13 win in the season opener. Fans saw costly snapping errors and a dramatic finish that will sting for West Haven players and supporters heading into their next game.
4. Connecticut man bites police dog to escape traffic stop (notthebee.com) — West Haven police say a traffic stop turned bizarre when a driver fled on foot, fought officers, and then bit K‑9 Ado on the leg during the arrest. Thanks to the veteran police dog's training, officers avoided injury, the suspect was handcuffed safely, and Ado was evaluated and found to have no visible injuries after the struggle.
