Yeshiva students were out in force last night during a special meeting of the Historic Overlook Community Club to discuss crime and safety in the neighborhood. The Overlook neighborhood has been plagued by smash and grab robberies the past several years, but last Sunday a Yeshiva student was assaulted by three teenagers and clubbed on the head with a 2 x 4. They stole his cell phone. More than 200 neighborhood residents packed into the Kingsbury School gymnasium to address Mayor Neil O'Leary and Police Chief Michael Guggliotti.

A garbage container along the eastern edge of Fulton Park, on Pine Street, appears to be an effective tool for keeping the area clean. But a peek over the stone wall revealed an alternate universe. There are many Waterburians who take great pride in the city, and spend hundreds of hours volunteering and performing community service. There are other Waterburians who live and act like animals. Blight affects the psyche of Waterbury, and acts like this in Fulton Park stain the environment, and the community.

After listening to dozens of members of Waterbury's black community speak out in support of Dr. Portia Bonner, a black woman who was born and raised in Waterbury, the Board of Education voted 7-3 to hire Dr. Kathleen Ouellette as the new Superintendent of Schools in Waterbury. The board members who voted for Ouellette cited her strong track record of experience as the deciding factor.
