The candidate, right, with Casa Otonal resident, Berenid Rivera.
“Ooh,” Eva Bermudez Zimmerman cooed along with little kids who were doting over three goats, several rabbits, a goose, and a brood of young, still furry chicks.
Then she said it is so sad to have separated the chicks from their mom. Her parents, who had a farm in Puerto Rico, taught her that when humans touch the chicks, the mother no longer recognizes them in the same way.

An expert who once helped tobacco companies push back on indoor smoking bans and helped insurers deny reimbursement to car-crash victims has a new mission: testifying that mold at Church Street South didn’t cause widespread health problems.
A rendering of the future Recovery and Wellness Center.
Shovels should be in the ground next spring to start building an expanded treatment facility for those recovering from substance abuse disorders in the Hill neighborhood.

Lead plaintiff Personna Noble, at right, at announcement of lawsuit.
If Church Street South was such a mess, why didn’t the tenants tell the landlord? Or government inspectors?
Lawyers for Northland Investment Corporation, the Massachusetts-based owner of the former 301-unit federally subsidized housing complex across from Union Station, raise that argument in a new 700-page brief, as they try to dissuade a judge from grouping former tenants together to press their case that the company is responsible for endangering their health and their lives.

The candidate with 97-year-old Rifkin.
After college, two of her three kids received their most attractive job offers not in Connecticut but in New York City, and so have moved there.
That’s why, Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Susan Bysiewicz said, she wakes up every morning of her campaign thinking about what she can do to keep young people in Connecticut.
That rang a bell with 97-year-old Sylvia Rifkin, who also has children — make that grandchildren — who likewise have moved to New York to begin their careers.

There’s a party on the street, people dancing in front of Eddy’s Food Center in the Hill. People jammed onto the stoop of a house.
Snowprah comes to the party draped in the Jamaican flag, but leaves no mistake as to where she’s from.
“Out’cha feelings, get up and go get ‘em,” she raps. “This is the Yank riddim / this is the Yank.”
With over 170,000 views and counting, “Yank Riddim” is a viral hit. It has landed the 23-year-old New Haven-based musician on Hot 93.7 — and beyond. Not bad for someone who started writing songs only in March.

Design crew on site Tuesday.
In the thick of a heat wave, the Yale School of Architecture first-years came together this week to start building a two-story home on 41 – 43 Button St. for a homeless family and a single renter.
The brutal summer heat upped the ante early Wednesday morning as firefighters spent close to two hours getting a two-alarm blaze under control at 20 Arthur St.

Daniel Hunt during the clean-up.
Daniel Hunt, who lives near Rosette Street in the Hill, lamented the amount of trash he saw in the neighborhood. So he decided to do something about it.
Pre-demolition work underway at Church Street South.
You didn’t mention the mess at Church Street South.
An insurance company is basically making that claim in court against the owner of the crumbling, condemned and hazardous federally subsidized 301-unit apartment complex across from Union Station, in an effort to end its six-figure payouts. The owner, meanwhile, sees another case of an insurance company making up reasons to squirrel out of its legal responsibility to pay.

When other kids were in school, Gladys Mwilelo recalled, she was standing in line for water or out selling patties so her family could have enough money to eat.

City, state officials join Salvatore and Harp for groundbreaking.
Hardhats were donned and hands were put to shovel by a Stamford developer and Mayor Toni Harp on a bright Tuesday to officially mark the start of construction for the first phase of the Hill to Downtown Project.
The city found a Mechanic Street home owned by two Guilford-based landlords to be “unfit for human occupancy” due to an absence of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, unpermitted and uninspected interior renovations, and the illegal conversion of a two-family dwelling into five separate rental units.
Two new residential developments at Lafayette Street and Congress Avenue.
A 30-year plan to redevelop an 11.6‑acre “ghost town” of mostly parking lots and vacant buildings between the Hill and Downtown took another step forward on Wednesday night when city planners approved site plans for two residential developments that are scheduled to begin construction this fall.
