A shoestring operation with no government aid and directed by volunteers is gradually closing the digital divide in New Haven. Founded by Curtis Hill, a retired phone company executive, in cooperation with Carl Feen, a financial adviser, Concepts for Adaptive Learning has put 400 computers in the homes of inner-city children in New Haven since July 2003.

MERIDEN -- The case of a New Haven man -- a former Bridgeport city official convicted in a 2001 corruption scandal -- accused of first-degree sexual assault has been transferred to Superior Court in New Haven. Patrick Coyne, 51, was being held in lieu of $300,000 bail after his arraignment Tuesday in Superior Court in Meriden. Judge Philip Scarpellino transferred the case to Part A in New Haven for April 19.
Coyne was charged Monday with first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor after a three-month investigation by Hamden Detectives Stephen Rossacci and Scott Levenduski of the Special Victims Unit. Detective Raymond Quinn, assigned to the U.S. Marshal Service Violent Fugitive Task Force, arrested Coyne at his home at 806 Edgewood Ave., Capt. Ronald Smith said.

The project labor agreement, or PLA, utilized by New Haven in the construction of city schools and referred to by Campo has resulted in nearly 700 New Haven residents beginning careers with unions within the Connecticut Building Trades.
As a result of these PLAs, programs have been established to fast- track New Haven residents into building trade apprentice schools with many New Haven Housing Authority residents learning skills from union instructors while rehabilitating public housing units.
