A local’s global focus leads to Australia
After more than a decade and a half spent shedding light on the plight of Tibetans in Southern China, New Canaan resident Sandra Ross will travel to Australia this month to help shift international attention to the embattled region’s glaciers.
Ross submitted a program proposal entitled “The Environmental Challenge in Tibet and its Worldwide Ramifications” earlier this year to the Parliament of the World’s Religions — a global gathering that meets in different countries every five years to promote “inter-religious understanding and cooperation.”

In a move which will bring cheers from the football community in all corners of the State, the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) yesterday announced that it will adopt a new division and playoff structure for football next season.
The CIAC board of control adopted the new format in a unanimous vote on Thursday. The new format will increase the number of qualifiers from 24 to 32, while decreasing the number of divisions from six to four. Thus, eight teams from each division will qualify.
