Boss Brogan (left) hails Carolla at her 50th annviersary party.
Marianne Carolla remembers when there were eight neighborhood library branches, not only the five current (including the main). In particular she remembers the storefront branch on Chapel at Norton, where the paperbacks hung on spindles as in an old book store window.
Once a man, a library patron, came in and said to her, “I want something that’s hot to trot.”
Just eight months after the death of New Haven’s Barbara Geller, her work lived on anew as local leaders cut the ribbon to open a supportive housing complex in her name.

Jessica Zelenski asked her Hillhouse High students to write a paper in defense of Mayella Ewell, a notorious character in To Kill A Mockingbird who falsely accuses a black farmhand of rape.

After a Mercedes Benz crashed into a Honda CR‑V, which then crashed into a Volkswagen Passat, a 65-year-old man lay dead on Howe Street. A 12-year-old girl clung to life. And the phone rang at Rose Dell’s house.
Ten years into her job teaching high school in New Haven, Leslie Blatteau loves her work in the classroom — and sees some unsettling signs in where public education is headed.
Turcio, at right, Thursday outside an evacuated building.
Jim Turcio loved climbing ladders as a kid. He found he still got a kick when he climbed a fire ladder one day this August — then his mood shifted when he looked around him.
The view gave him a new appreciation of the role he took on in New Haven this year. And it changed the lives of hundreds of families.
Ray Pompano plans to report to Sargent Drive Tuesday morning to work on machine parts, as he has for over 50 years. But first he has an important 6 a.m. stop to make at Sports Haven.

Hare and Davis.
She sent a group of Dixwell kids from the old Elm Haven projects to Paris to study ballet. For others she obtained scholarships to local dance schools.
She taught African-American kids to square dance and do the hokey pokey, and most of all to dream big, structure their lives with steps and order, as in a dance, and to believe in themselves.
