DERBY - Griffin Hospital will host an AARP Driver Safety Program from 8:45 a.m.-1:15 p.m. Sept. 14 at the hospital, 130 Division St.
The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation's first and largest refresher course for drivers. While the course is geared toward drivers age 50 and older, the course is open to everyone.
The training is designed to help you learn current rules of the road, how to operate your vehicle more safely in today's increasingly challenging driving environment, and make some adjustments to common age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time.
The course also covers such topics as how to maintain proper following distance at all times; the safest way to change lanes and make turns at intersections; the effects of medications on driving; how to minimize the effect of dangerous blind spots; the importance of eliminating distractions, such as eating, smoking, and cell-phone use; proper use of safety belts, air bags, and anti-lock brakes and ways to monitor your own and others' driving skills and capabilities.
Participants will gain a greater appreciation of driving challenges and how they can avoid potential collisions and injuries to themselves and others.
As an added bonus, participants can check with their auto insurance company about discounts for completing the course.
The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members.
Make checks payable to “AARP.”
To register, call Esther, 203-732-1523.

SEYMOUR - Connecticut-based indie piano-rock duo Passing Strange is no stranger to the studio, after recording a demo CD back in 2017, and laying down its first full-length album “Come Whatever Storms” in mid 2018.
This time, however, it will be a little different.
The duo consisting of drummer Anthony Paolucci and pianist/vocalist Kate Mirabella was recently signed by independent record label “NeuroTronix Records” in Seymour, and the two will be embarking on its musical journey in the studio with longtime producer Richard Demko (Rick D Keys).
The upcoming 11-song album is set to be released sometime in December 2019 and will be available worldwide on over 150 online digital music retailers and streaming providers.
“I am super excited to work with these guys,” said Demko, “as they are amazing songwriters. They have a great sound, and they are very talented musicians.”
