'Turnback Tuesday' highlights Oct. 1955 flood


Turnback Tuesday remembers two significant things: Housatonic Lumber Co. 1907-2009 and the October Flood of 1955.
We all know about the August, 1955 Flood, but not much about the second flood that followed in October.
Many people and businesses in Derby were cleaning up after the August flood's devastation only to have to endure another flood just two months later. On Oct. 14-17, a torrential storm dumped another 12” to 14” of rain on an already saturated landscape.
The Housatonic Lumber Co., located at the connecting point of the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers, was once again under water.
This image, taken on Oct. 16, 1955 by Harold Yudkin, and many other images are currently on display at Derby Public Library until the end of September.


Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.


Griffin Bariatrics to offer virtual weight-loss presentations in October


Griffin Bariatrics will offer free virtual presentations on its weight-loss services throughout October.


Led by Griffin Hospital Director of Bariatrics Dr. Abe Fridman, these seminars will explain how bariatric surgery can help patients lose significant amounts of weight, enhance their health, and provide long-term well-being. 

Additionally, techniques, support programs, pre- and post-operative expectations, and insurance questions are also discussed.

Upcoming seminars will be held on Oct. 7 from 5:30-6:30 p.m.; Oct. 15 from 5:30-6:30 p.m.; and Oct. 28 from 12-1 p.m.


Griffin Hospital established its comprehensive weight loss surgery program, Griffin Bariatrics, to provide a medical solution for patients with more substantial weight loss needs. 

The long-term success enjoyed by Griffin Bariatrics patients is a result of excellent medical care, including the latest minimally invasive surgical procedures, combined with access to a full range of multidisciplinary services that have been assembled to support them before, during, and after their surgery.
