Easter Weekend Who's ready to hunt for Easter eggs? Lots of hunts taking place in our area this weekend: West Windsor, Reading, Woodstock..so many eggs, so little time. News You Can Use Weathersfield select board and town news : At the April 1 select board meeting, the board introduced the possibility of building solar arrays at three locations in town: the highway garage, the capped landfill and the town sand pit.

Greetings from Little Cayman. Little Cayman is one of three islands comprising the Cayman Islands (a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean). It is located approximately 60 miles northeast of Grand Cayman and five miles west of Cayman Brac. Little Cayman is by far the least populous, with a permanent population of about 170-200 permanent residents. It is about 10 miles long with an average width of 1 mile with most of the island being undeveloped. Almost the entire island is at sea level. The highest elevation is about 40 feet. Little Cayman is known for its excellent scuba diving and birdwatching, unspoiled wildlife habitat and laid-back atmosphere. We’ve been here for a week of spectacular SCUBA diving.

It’s been sunny and in the 80s here and I’m not looking forward to returning to the cold and mud in Weathersfield. Photos and videos from o...
