    EAST HADDAM — There has been a recent resurgence of the 1998 Broadway musical Ragtime, and rightfully so. This beautiful show, with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, could not be more timely. Its legacy lives on in Goodspeed Opera House’s powerful new production. Based on the E.L.

    GROVELAND, Fla. - What was once a quiet corner of South Lake County is now the site of a growing safety crisis, according to neighbors. Residents living along Bay Lake Road, Empire Church Road, and Lake Erie Road in Groveland say their once-peaceful area has become a racetrack for reckless drivers and exotic cars. The issue has escalated to the point where neighbors are capturing hair-raising footage of street racing and near-death encounters.

I never feel smaller than when my 9-year old says, “Who are you cheering for in this game?” I say, “The team playing Alabama.” “Why don’t you like Alabama?” She asks. “Because they always have a good team.” Confused and disappointed look from child ensues.
