CT man accused of operating drug factory after crash on Route 9 leads to discovery of illegal drugs
A three-car rollover crash on Route 9 in New Britain on Wednesday led to state troopers finding enough illegal drugs in a man's vehicle and home to charge him with operating a drug factory. The collision was reported at 1:17 p.m. on the northbound side of the highway in the area of Exit 37B where two of the vehicles rolled over, injuring one of the drivers, according to Connecticut State Police. The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital. The other two drivers did not report any injuries, according to state police. As wreckers were called to the scene to tow the vehicles, state police alleged that they found that one of the uninjured drivers, who was found to be at fault for the crash, had a 'significant quantity of controlled substances, packaging equipment and narcotics-related paraphernalia.' He was identified as 30-year-old Frank Mitchell of Hamden. According to state police, Mitchell allegedly admitted that he produces chocolate bars and gummies containing mushrooms. He was arrested and transported to the Troop H barracks before authorities obtained a search warrant for his residence. During the search, troopers allegedly found additional narcotics, drug paraphernalia, drug equipment and a large-capacity magazine. Mitchell faces two counts each of possession with intent to sell/dispense a hallucinogenic substance, use of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance and a single count of operation of a drug factory, reckless driving, failure to drive in the proper lane on a limited access highway and illegal possession of a large-capacity magazine. He was held on a $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on Friday.

The match will also revive a historic rivalry that saw these teams play at the same venue 113 years ago in a unique triangular tournament. South Africa secured their place in the final with a superior record, winning 8 out of 12 Tests and achieving a points percentage of 69.44. Australia qualified with 67.54 points percentage across 19 matches. The two cricket powerhouses have played 101 Tests against each other, with their rivalry featuring significant moments including the controversial Sandpaper Gate incident in 2018. Remarkably, Australia and South Africa have previously met at Lord's, with this matchup coming in the Triangular Tournament of 1912, which involved England as the third team. The 1912 tournament was groundbreaking as the first Test competition featuring more than two teams. It remained unique until the Asian Test Championship in 1998.

WTC Final: When Australia and South Africa last played a Test at Lord's, 113 years ago
Australia and South Africa will lock horns for the first time in a Test in two years during the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London, starting Wednesday. While the two teams finished with the best record in the two-year cycle, both teams have had a contrasting set of games to contend with to book their place in the final. Having played a fair share of their matches at home, the Proteas won 8 of their 12 Tests, finishing with a points percentage of 69.44 to Australia's 67.54 in 19 matches. The Australia vs South Africa Test rivalry has seen many famous/infamous moments this century, including the Sandpaper Gate controversy in 2018. When the two teams set out for the clash at Lord's, cricketing folklore from another century will also be redrawn at the 'Home of Cricket' as the neutral setting isn't entirely new to this rivalry. Of the 101 Tests played between Australia and South Africa, two matches have been played in neutral capacity in England, 113 years ago, back in 1912. In a tournament that had a concept similar to the WTC at the time, the Triangular Tournament 1912 was held between the early Test-playing nations of the 20th century — England, Australia and South Africa. It was the first Test tournament that comprised more than two teams and remained the only such event until the Asian Test Championship in 1998. Played between May and August, 1912, the nine-match tournament had the teams play each other thrice. In their penultimate round of the tournament, Australia and South Africa met at Lord's in a three-day match. South Africa were bundled out for 263 on the first day after winning the toss, following which Australia posted 390 in their first innings. Frank Mitchell's Proteas could only muster 173 in their second essay, paving the way for a comfortable 10-wicket win for Australia. The teams would meet again at Trent Bridge in a drawn Test. However, hosts England would trump both South Africa and Australia to finish on top of the leaderboard of the tournament that was never reprised again. When Temba Bavuma's South African unit takes on Pat Cummins' reigning world champions, the teams will prompt a revist to this old chapter from their storied rivalry, one with a Lord's setting in the early 20th century.

Scotland's apprenticeship experiences work in the modern world
Since then, tens of thousands of young people each year have developed skills employers want and the economy needs. Since 2008, Modern Apprenticeships in Scotland have been administered by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), Scotland's national skills body. Chair of SDS, Frank Mitchell said: 'Apprenticeships are made to support individuals, employers and Scotland's economy, by offering high quality opportunities for people to gain valuable skills that support them throughout their career and meet industry demands now and for the future. 'Modern Apprenticeships are giving people from diverse backgrounds, including those from areas of social deprivation, the opportunity to get into meaningful and fulfilling employment.' Chief Executive of the Scottish Training Federation, Stuart McKenna, was part of the original creation of frameworks in 1995. There are now around 80 Modern Apprenticeship frameworks covering hundreds of different job types. He said: 'Modern Apprenticeships are as crucial to the economy now as they were then – if not more important. 'Working with employers and partners, training providers want to see Scotland's apprenticeship system grow and thrive for the next thirty years and beyond.' Since 2008, businesses have created more than 400,000 Modern Apprenticeship jobs. Modern Apprenticeship training is funded and administered by SDS on behalf of the Scottish Government. (Image: Apprentice Angus Webb and Operations Manager Austen Brooks from W M Donald) SDS works with employers to develop apprenticeships, to ensure they meet industry needs and that apprentices develop the right skills for now and the future. This includes a major programme of apprenticeship redevelopment, placing employers and employees at the heart of reviewing and redesigning existing standards and frameworks for their sector. The agency also worked with partners to develop and introduce innovations such as Foundation Apprenticeships and Graduate Apprenticeships. Modern Apprenticeships are jobs for people over 16 so they can work, earn and learn. Foundation Apprenticeships are for school pupils to provide work-based learning pathways and learning at a similar level to a Higher. While Graduate Apprenticeships mean getting a job, getting paid and getting qualified up to Master's degree level. Employers across Scotland, from family firms to multi-nationals, continue to benefit from apprenticeships securing the skills their businesses need. Human Resources Manager at Aberdeenshire civil engineering and construction firm W M Donald, Rachel O'Donnell, said: 'Apprenticeships are central to our success. They've contributed to our impressive turnover and play a crucial role in ensuring we have a diverse and sustainable talent pipeline.' Apprentice Coordinator at GE Aerospace in Ayrshire, Aidan McIntyre, said: 'Apprentices bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that help retain a competitive edge. 'When you combine that energy with the experience you already have, it's a cocktail for success.' Senior Project Manager at Scottish Water Horizons, Ian Piggott, said: 'Employing apprentices gives Scottish Water a chance to build for the future, match our training to specific roles and create resilience.' Owner and Operations Director at Proterra Energy in Inverness, Terry Stebbings, said: 'Apprenticeships are a great way to bring new talent into our company and train them to match our business needs.' Capability Manager at global firm Diageo, Rhoda Gabellone, said: 'Modern Apprenticeships help us build a highly skilled talent pipeline in particular areas of engineering that are unique to our business. 'Apprentices bring a fresh perspective and help us keep pace with technological advances.' Senior People Development Adviser at Aberdeen-based energy and materials firm Wood, Elaine MacRae, said: 'Apprenticeships address challenges like an ageing workforce and bring fresh talent to improve business practices. 'Many apprentices advance to senior roles and mentor the next generation.' Community Benefits Manager at Perth-based fenestration firm Sidey Solutions, Donna Montgomery, said: 'Apprenticeships are an ideal way for us to bring new talent into our business, allowing us to invest in and build our own talent pool of professionally qualified and committed employees. 'We haven't looked back since introducing apprenticeships. 'It was becoming more difficult to recruit, and it was crucial to address this potential risk to our business. We knew we had to grow our installer team and replenish the skillset we depend on. Sidey was established in 1932. If we want to be around for another 93 years, we need apprentices to take the business forward.' n Find out more online at .

Frank Mitchell: Arrival of my first grandchild means even as a Man City fan I have a soft spot for his Newcastle team
There has been a very important development for Frank Mitchell – the birth of his first grandchild One of my old teachers crossed my mind this week. Mr Hoben guided me to O level success in economics. He usually wore a grey suit with a V neck jumper over a shirt and tie. His narrow eyes and thick rimmed glasses suggested a crossness but his most memorable feature was his accent. It was regional English and sounded similar to some of the soldiers who would stop and search us as teenagers. He stretched his words as people from his home town tend to do. His first name was Paul but we all called him Charlie. It didn't take much to get a nickname in the '70s. One day he was chastising a time waster by warning him that he would not accept anyone trying to be a 'Char-Lee' during lessons, and from that day this strict but outstanding teacher from Sunderland had been renamed.
