Godley, with Solar Youth leader Katie Jones behind him.
Twelve-year-old Solar Youth cyclist Jeremiah Godley didn’t think the fates were working in his favor Saturday morning. The sky had clouded over; it was raining intermittently. But when his Rock to Rock team leader announced it was time to go, he pedaled with all his might — and made a pact to himself that he wouldn’t stop until he reached the finish line, eight miles away.
If the owners of Nica’s Market want to install three new freezers, they will have to figure out how to squeeze them into the store’s already existing space.

Dion Liu lifted a long ribbon of raw pork with tweezer-sized tongs, inspecting its slick red surface. He displayed it to the table’s guests. He dipped the pork into a bubbling, boiling metal pot of broth, swishing the meat from side to side for almost a minute. Then he pulled it out, cooked to medium rare, and placed it gingerly on his diners’ plates.
It was now up to the diners to finish the cooking job.

Captain Genesis Padilla of the state championship team.
Before pushing the start button on the kitchen timer, set for 45 minutes, the students of the Wilbur Cross culinary competition team are typical teens laughing and cracking jokes.
Then the time keeper asks if they’re ready. And they get serious.

Nicole Diez cheers on Dorsey as he frees up her car on Eagle.
Dorsey surveys the streets.
When Lynwood Dorsey turned onto Frances Hunter Drive Wednesday, he didn’t have to lower his plow and shift gears to keep his truck from slipping — unlike the last time a storm hit New Haven.

Pullen: Business hit more.
East Rockers who live near State Street saw their property values shoot up. Those nearer to Whitney Avenue didn’t.
That’s because the impact of the city’s latest revaluation comes down to location, location, location —- and often how close you live to new luxury apartments.
City of New Haven
Neighborhood breakdown for Revaluation 2016, including single and some multifamily homes.
Thousands of New Haveners poured onto the streets to show their support of refugees Sunday — first with a run, then with a march and a rally on the Green.

Wanda Faison and Deacon Vincent Smith on the march.
Rodney Mitchell hoisted the American flag at the front of Sunday’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Love March, just as he has for the past decade and a half. His possible successor was right beside him.

What remains of the camp.
At 4:40 p.m. Thursday, David Sadler, the last homeless camper left in the woods off I‑91, wheeled containers down an embankment to the Toyota belonging to a friend, Charlie Lang. And a long-running homeless encampment was no more.

Senior and budding thespian Nelson Felipe.
Wilbur Cross students offered a response of sorts to a vandal who sprayed swastikas on their campus — by juju-ing on that beat, perfecting their mannequin challenge poses, and celebrating their diversity at an annual pre-Thanksgiving pep-rally.

Coach Kelly with Sarahi.
Instructional Literacy Coach Lynn Kelly asked four East Rock Community Magnet School fourth-graders to come up with words like “rain” in which the “ai” vowel pattern makes the sound of a long “a.”
With the slightest prompting, the kids came up with, among other examples, “brain,” “drain,” and “jail.”

Officers Moore and Santiago and 7-year-olds Noah Holmes and Azarel Diez, the extra duty cop.
The unofficial Mayor of Cedar Hill got an ally when her neighborhood got a new top cop. But over pizza with the crew in blue, she wondered whether that’ll be enough to bring her small pocket of the city the police protection it needs.

Schweitzer, at right, accepts the prize Thursday night.
