... to fight against city's new exit and roundabout plans for Tweed.
The Elicker administration plans to build a new airport exit and roundabout at Burr and Dean Streets to address heavy traffic near Tweed — prompting pushback from some Nathan Hale parents who are concerned that cars will now be directed towards an already “hectic” school zone.
Sen. Prez Looney: Avelo's actions just the latest example of "caving to government dollars at the expense of human rights."
(Updated) Outrage continued mounting from both the grassroots and elected officials Wednesday against Avelo Airlines’ decision to run deportation flights, as more than 14,000 people (at last check) signed onto a boycott petition.
Pleased passenger Kaye Pugh: “I like smaller, friendlier airports.”
Chris Smith, from Meriden, had his flight out of Tweed to Charlotte cancelled at the last minute, got little help on site, and he was number 71 waiting on his telephone for customer service for rebooking or refund.
Hamdenite Anna Collins, on the other hand, was over the moon at how smooth her flight was back from Houston, where she was visiting her grandmother. Leaving from Tweed instead of Newark saved her hours of travel with two rambunctious little ones, and the price was right. Amazing, she quietly declared.
Between those two poles of pleasure and pain was also a range of views on the flying experience courtesy of the two discount carriers, Avelo and Breeze, in and out of the rapidly growing Morris Cove airport.

At Tweed for Avelo's first flight to Puerto Rico, last November.
Temporary office, ticketing, and passenger-waiting trailers can stay for another three years on Tweed’s New Haven side — as the regional airport works to build up a new terminal in East Haven by 2027.
Keynote speaker Rev. Barber: "Poverty is a structural reality."
Rev. William Barber had a message for dozens of legal aid staffers and supporters: After 60 years of serving New Haven, don’t “rest your case” against poverty.
Barber, the co-chair of the revived national Poor People’s Campaign and a professor at Yale, was the keynote speaker at a gala for New Haven Legal Assistance Association (NHLAA), an event that filled the beachside venue at Anthony’s Ocean View on Wednesday night.
At Tweed for Avelo's first flight to Puerto Rico, last November.
Tweed’s operators are looking to keep in place for another three years temporary office, ticketing, and passenger waiting trailer buildings on the New Haven side of the airport property, as they continue to try to relocate the terminal to a new larger permanent structure on the East Haven side.

On the trail again ...
A walk by the New Haven Bioregional Group followed part of the route through Morris Cove of the proposed Shoreline Greenway Trail, which will connect the Farmington Canal Trail to the shore. In the process, it revealed a complex history of land use, and the ways that the push and pull of industrial use versus green spaces have shaped — and continue to shape — the neighborhood.

Milton Collins: Now 100, doesn't look “a day over 80.”
As guests entered Milton “Uncle Chip” Collins’s 100th birthday party at Amarante’s Sea Cliff, they might have had trouble distinguishing the World War II vet, beloved New Havener, aesthete, and now centenarian from a crowd of dancers. However, Collins could be found by the band, grooving along to swanky jazz.
LeQuire (right) and students at Tuesday's "goodbye picnic."
Hillhouse rising senior David Coardes discovered his love for painting thanks to high school art teacher Rebecca LeQuire.
On a sunny afternoon at Lighthouse Point, he gathered with a handful of classmates to say goodbye to LeQuire — not because Coardes is graduating, but because LeQuire is leaving the district after what she says have been years of complaints insufficiently addressed by central office.

Doug Rae with Dave Rodriguez of CT Junior Soccer Association ...
... at Saturday's dedication ceremony in East Shore Park.
A spirited group of 75 gathered on the edge of the East Shore Park soccer fields on a sunny, wind-swept Saturday morning for a dedication ceremony honoring Doug Rae — who founded New Haven Youth Soccer in the early 1980s with a vision that “players from all backgrounds can develop as members of the community through mentoring, teamwork, and friendship.”
John Laudano faces off with Avports spokesman Andrew King.
More than 100 Morris Cove neighbors rang the alarm bell for Tweed representatives at a three-hour meeting Monday night, cautioning that the regional airport’s continued growth in plane traffic, routes, and passengers has led to a steep decline in their quality of life.

The inert grenade was ultimately surrendered to TSA.
A passenger tried to bring a hollowed-out grenade on a Tweed Airport flight to Charleston — prompting security to close the terminal for over an hour on Wednesday morning, while police confirmed that there was no safety threat.

Trekking towards Morris Creek.
About 30 people took a walk through Morris Cove, from Lighthouse Point Park to East Shore Park and back again, to see for themselves the route the city has proposed for the Shoreline Greenway Trail — and to see what other routes, or detours off the main route, might be possible.
The following was submitted by Hamden Hall Country Day School.
After losing their 14-year-old son in a tragic bicycle accident in May 2022, the family of Zayne Ali Thomas of New Haven has established a scholarship fund at Hamden Hall Country Day School where he had been a student.
