“The Circus,” a new two-part film from American Experience will air on CPTV on October 8 and 9

“The Circus” explores the colorful history of this popular, influential, and distinctly American form of entertainment, from the first one-ring show at the end of the 18th century to 1956, when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey big top was pulled down for the last time. As the home state of P.T. Barnum, Connecticut plays a unique role in this history. Before “The Circus” premieres on CPTV, join CPTV and CT Humanities for a free advance screening of a portion of the film on Thursday, October 4th. This screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Sally Whipple, Executive Director of Connecticut’s Old State House; Kathleen Maher, Executive Director of Barnum Museum in Bridgeport; and Walter Woodward, Connecticut State Historian and Associate Professor…

Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo welcomes eight spur-thigh tortoises (Geochelone sulcata) who are making the Zoo their home for the summer. The African spur thigh tortoise, also known as the spurred tortoise, is the third largest species of tortoise in the world, after the Galapagos tortoise and the Aldabra giant tortoise. It is the largest of all mainland tortoises. “Summertime is the right time, so it’s a great time to bring such special animals here as our temporary guests,” said Zoo Director Gregg Dancho. “Tortoises also love summer heat, and the spur thigh tortoise is particularly well-adapted to hot temperatures. Also there is the educational message that these wonderful animals do not make good pets! Make wise not wild choices!" “The Zoo will…

Ganim Deals Gambling Proposal

BRIDGEPORT – Bridgeport Mayor and Democratic candidate for Governor Joe Ganim today called for the Connecticut General Assembly to pass Senate Bill No. 540, AN ACT AUTHORIZING SPORTS WAGERING AND ONLINE LOTTERY DRAW GAMES IN THE STATE.  The bill sets up legal, highly regulated, taxable sports betting in Connecticut.  If enacted, it is estimated that legalizing sports betting could bring the state another $44 million in annual revenue.  Gaming industry estimates in Connecticut currently show that state residents spend more than $600 million in illegal sports betting, generating some $36 Million in profits for illegal sports bookmakers.  Introducing legal sports wagering that could be taxed by the state at a rate of 15% could significantly eat into that black market.  Mayor…
