ReplyDear Readers,
Thank you for your discussion regarding Branford Business Development. I am just returning from vacation tomorrow and I will be checking in with several people regarding follow-up on many of these news bits. I want you all to know that the Gun Stock owner (Mike Higgins) and I had a conversation about doing a story on his business on Dec. 13. He asked, following the lively discussion on the Branford Seven article and the fact that he was tied up with the ATF, that we wait to do a story until after the New Year. I am never in a rush to write a story and was happy to oblige. I will again request an interview this week.
Thank you in advance for patience. Happy New Year to all!~nicole ball

ReplyThanks for sharing that story Sarah. I get the whole e-mail thing and I'm all about it... I have to be, I'm a Patch editor, but I still love tangible cards. However, this was our first year really sending cards (new baby!) and I can't believe how much it cost between printing and the stamps and envelopes! Ouch! Still happy to do it. I cherish every card I get!

On the article Protest for Carolyn Lippolis Organized For Dec. 17

ReplyHi Melissa,
Here's a timeline of coverage as events happened: Hamlet released a statement in January when the knife incident occurred and Mrs. LIppolis was places on administrative leave; at that time her name was not released.
The Register article that covered her firing, a meeting I am told took about five minutes, is linked in the story above.
