Lifelong Ansonia resident desperately needs kidney

I cannot say it any better than those friends of Diane who have already written lovingly on Facebook about her urgent need for a kidney.

As a kidney recipient from an altruistic donor nearly six years ago I can commiserate with her plight. 

I hope and pray the same good fortune will fall upon Diane and someone will soon come forward to give her the gift of renewed good health.

Explore vernal pools during guided hike at Ansonia Nature Center

ANSONIA - Come to the Ansonia Nature Center at 1 p.m. April 2 to learn about local amphibians and their importance during our hike to the center’s vernal pools. 

Amphibians play a special role as indicator species in determining the health of our environment. These fascinating creatures secretly inhabit our woodland and wetlands; help our staff lift rocks and logs to find these slippery creatures beneath. 

Make sure you and your family wear old clothes and shoes because we will get wet and dirty.
