Justice moving forward for the family of a Hamburg college student, killed in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 nearly 34 years ago. A key suspect in that terrorist attack is now in U.S. custody.

It s been an up-and-down existence for Connecticut businesses, a year into the coronavirus pandemic. (Chris Dehnel/Patch)
CONNECTICUT The past 12 months have been as unique a period as any in the history of Connecticut business. That s right, the coronavirus pandemic first reared its ugly head about a year ago.
It s been both a financial and emotional roller coaster for businesses both great and small, national and local. Terms like hand sanitizer, mandatory masks and partitions and limited capacity became synonymous with terms like cash and charge and reservations and appointments.
One Chinese restaurant in northern Connecticut went to an extreme with a protective film all over the place.
Patti Brunner Collins pulled out the ornament while her family was putting up the Christmas tree, not long ago. While it is made of simple cardboard and cotton, it is as precious as any Yuletide heirloom in Western New York.
Collins stores it carefully each year, protected and cushioned inside a Ziploc bag. The ornament portrays a handmade Santa Claus, created about 45 years ago in a first grade classroom at SS Peter & Paul School in Hamburg â the kind of project on which an intent little kid with paste, scissors and cotton, bent forward at her desk, clearly spent some time.
