  2. A Deeper Divide: Two Views On One Gun

    Chris Bartocci is circling the aisles at The Gun Store in Las Vegas, a firearms mega-mart lined wall-to-wall with handguns and rifles and shotguns of every design and price range. There are cheap utilitarian pistols and delicately-engraved collectibles with four-figure price tags; classic wooden-stock deer rifles and pistol-gripped AK-47s.

  3. Our Picks: St. Patrick's Day Events Around Fairfield County

    Top o' the mornin' to you. While many St. Patrick's Day parades have already turned our streets green with decorations (and maybe some vomit, caused by binge drinking before noon), the real, live, official St. Patrick's Day isn't until this Sunday. Many celebrations have yet to happen. <strong>The Ridgefield Playhouse</strong> hosts the <strong>Irish Comedy Tour</strong> on Thursday, featuring comedians Derek Richards, Mike McCarthy, Joey Carroll, Jim Campbell and Derrick Keane, all of Irish descent. Also on Thursday, the <strong>Stratford Library</strong> will be throwing a <strong>Leprechaun Party</strong> for children ages 5 to 12 in which kids are encouraged to wear green, listen to an Irish story, play games and eat green snacks. Friday is Bridgeport's parade day, and the march through the downtown area will beginning at noon, featuring performances by the Sheeaun Academy of Irish Dance (pictured), The Fairfield Gaelic Pipe and Drum Band, The Lenihan School of Dance and the Mummer's John's Uptown String Band. After the parade, go to <strong>Two Boots</strong> to hear music by <strong>Talking to Walls</strong> and <strong>Whiskey for Breakfast</strong>, as well as some bagpipe music. Meanwhile, Danbury's parade isn't happening until next Sunday, March 24th at 2 p.m., if you can recover from this week's festivities in time. <strong>The Fairfield Theatre</strong> welcomes <strong>U2Nation</strong>, a U2 tribute band, on Sunday, a bit of a stretch since they're just covering an Irish band, but we'll take it anyway. <strong>The Acoustic Cafe</strong> will open at 3pm Sunday and have an early show (music starts at 6pm) featuring <strong>Pocket Hotties</strong>, <strong>Darian Cunning</strong>, <strong>Talking to Walls</strong> and the <strong>Steve Detroy Trio</strong>.

There his love for hunting and fishing began beside his father and three brothers. He graduated from St. Mary's High School May 24, 1953. He continued his education at Chicago Technical College for Mechanical Engineering graduating March 28, 1958. Shortly thereafter he met Bonnie Mohrhauser, he stood her up on their first date because he could not get a vehicle. The next time he called he wanted her to go jacklighting jack rabbits in an old pickup. It was such a crazy call she accepted.

His hobbies included hunting, fishing, true crime shows, Brave's baseball, grandbabies, and storytelling. One of his favorite things to tell us was that "the mind was the first thing to go and I can't remember what the second was". He passed at home, with his loving wife, after a long battle with COPD; his family will dearly miss him. He is survived by his wife Bonnie, brothers, Marshall (MaryAnn) Sohm of Danbury IA and John (Margaret) Sohm of Nashotah WI, children; Dawn (Terry) Newton of Philips WI, Paula (Bob) Roberts of Belle Foursche SD, Karla Sohm of Sioux City IA, Kimberly (Wayne) Michaels of Sturgis SD, Micheal (Melaney) Sohm of Sioux Falls SD, Charlene (Edward) Rodriguez of Rapid City SD and Jody (Donny) Weiand of Custer SD, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his mother Margarett, father Carl, his brother David and grandson Jordan.

  7. Crime & Punishment: Nursing Student Threatens to Blow Up Hospital After Not Being Invited to Classmate's Wedding

    <strong>Theresa Burden, a nursing student at St. Vincent's Medical Center, </strong>was upset at being left off the guest list of a classmate's wedding, so &mdash; sensibly enough &mdash; she sent a barrage of threatening letters to the Bridgeport hospital, according to police. St. Vincent's first received a letter signed in the name bride-to-be saying she was going to blow up the hospital because coursework was interfering with her wedding planning. Though she denied sending it, St. Vincent's suspended her. The letters, each attributed to a student, continued: "I put explosives on the first floor," "I will blow up St. Vincent's," "Get some MRSA and die." That last one referred to a bacteria and contained a white swab. Police gathered up the nursing students to take a handwriting sample from each, at which point Burden, 37, allegedly broke down and admitted to sending the letters, reports the Connecticut Post.
