The Town Council gave him a victualing license about a month ago and scheduled a hearing for the full liquor license today. Correa reportedly has signed a purchase and sale agreement for the former India building, which has been vacant and up for sale for several years, 

Before the hearing, the Town Council will make a presentation of the Carnegie Hero Award to a Warren man for his actions in saving the life of a woman in a burning car about a year ago. Patrick Rimoshytus, 43, a former firefighter, risked his own life and suffered burns while cutting the woman, 68, out of the front seat of her car.
