Although it has new owners now, the race track at Lime Rock Park in Salisbury, Conn., will continue and even expand its tradition of offering use of the track facilities for nonprofit fundraisers and other interesting activities.

This is how we do it: Kenneth Branagh’s new “Death on the Nile” film might send viewers back to enjoy the (better) 2004 version starring David Suchet.
I am not one of those people who thinks that nothing new can ever improve on a beloved old favorite.
And to be honest, I’m not even that much of a fan of Agatha Christie’s mystery stories and novels.
But two new entries into the mystery entertainment genre make me feel that the older versions were better.
The Bard College Conservatory of Music in Anandale on Hudson, N.Y., presents “Salome,” an opera by Richard Strauss with libretto by Oscar Wilde on Friday, March 18, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 20, at 2 p.m.

Big errors are humbling but also an opportunity to learn. Such was the case last week when the Compass touted an upcoming laser show at Sharon Playhouse in Sharon, Conn., and incorrectly said that one of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) tribute bands would be onstage.
The annual summertime Weekend in Norfolk, Conn., (also known cheerfully as WIN) will be held from Friday, July 30, to Sunday, Aug. 1. Small but mighty, Norfolk is bubbling over with an astonishingly diverse array of activities, from hiking and boating to classical music to dance music to visual arts to farming (and of course eating).

The Tristate region is host to what seems to be an unusually large number of railroad enthusiasts. Certainly this area has plenty of railway history to offer on its own.
