FARMINGTON -- The Farmington Fire Department will hold a short memorial service on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 New York City tragedy.

The program will begin at 6:30 a.m., at the station, located at 82 North and 100 East. At 6:45 a.m., the academy bell, atop the school district’s Kendall Building, will ring to mark when a jet struck the first World Trade Center Tower and then the bell will ring again at 7:03 p.m. to commemorate the strike on the second tower.

In conjunction with the remembrance, the Farmington Trails Committee invites hikers to depart at 7:05 a.m. for a hike to Flag Rock. A second hike is also scheduled at 6:05 p.m.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba -- In the few weeks since Rear Adm. David B. Woods took charge here, he has looked in on the men accused of killing two of his Naval Academy classmates, walked the camps where President Barack Obama's closure order has faded in the sun and presided over a somber ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of America's 21st-century Day of Infamy.

NEW YORK -- More than 10,000 workers exposed to the tons of toxic dust that blanketed ground zero after the World Trade Center fell have ended their bruising legal fight with New York City and joined a settlement worth at least $625 million, officials said Friday.

The deal will resolve an overwhelming majority of the lawsuits over the city's failure to provide protective equipment to the army of construction workers, police officers and firefighters who spent months clearing and sifting rubble after Sept. 11.
