Alert drivers may wonder about the small burial ground squeezed onto a narrow, grassy divider between the fast-moving traffic of I-95 North and Parkway South across from Lowes.
At one time, the Gorton Family Burial Ground lay on an unpaved country lane that wound its way up and down the hills from New London to Lyme.
Passersby hurrying along in the early 19th century unpaved roadway may have noticed fresh graves in the small enclosure in the corner of a grassy field as each grave was added to those of the Gorton family.

More than 100 members of the University of Wyoming community have agreed to serve on groups charged with developing a university strategic plan to recommend to President Ed Seidel and the UW Board of Trustees later this spring.
In addition to a 13-member Strategic Scenario Planning Team, five groups have been assembled to address specific pieces in the planning process. Their work, including solicitation of input from across the university and around the state, will help the administration chart the university’s course for the future.
Strategic scenario planning is taking place concurrently with reviews of academic and other programs of the university in response to significant budget reductions driven by losses of state funding.

It is time to take toxic heat out of politics
Now that Donald Trump has left the building, albeit reluctantly and doing his best to burn it down on the way out, perhaps we can stop talking in terms of the left and right sides of politics and agendas. Instead, how about thinking in terms of values – i.e. what do we value and what values do we want to espouse. Perhaps then we can expose these frauds, grifters and charletons such as Trump for who and what they are, make meaningful changes for the betterment of all, and take some of the toxic heat (and people) out of politics.
