Photos shared from prayer service at church in Ansonia

More than 50 gather to remember victims 


ANSONIA - I attended a moving service Thursday at Clinton AME Zion Church held to help heal hearts after the June 17 massacre of nine African-Americans who were taking part in a bible study group at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C.

Please check out my story here in the Valley Independent Sentinel. 

The Rev. Jeffrey Gubbiotti, pastor, Assumption Church in Ansonia, was one of the clergy members who led participants in prayer in Thursday's Community Prayer Service for the Healing of Our Land. 

Participants pray for healing of the nation in the wake of the deadly shootings in 
Charleston, S.C. The event was sponsored by the Ansonia Branch 2000 of the NAACP. 

Greg Johnson, President of the Ansonia Branch of the NAACP, speaks during the service.

Crisco welcomes funding for schools in Woodbridge, Naugatuck

Crisco

HARTFORD - State Sen. Joseph Crisco Jr., D-Woodbridge, announced the school building projects bill approved recently on a unanimous and bipartisan basis in the state Senate includes funds to repair the roof at the Beecher Road School in Woodbridge and additional funding for renovations and an extension at Naugatuck High School.

“There are about 2,000 students between these two schools who are going to have a better, safer and more productive educational experience thanks to the financial investments the state is making in their future,” Crisco said.

“I was proud to join with my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this funding, which not only benefits students but helps keep the burden off of local property taxes as well.”

House Bill 7102 authorizes state grants for various school building projects, including:

· $3,717,917 for alterations to and replacement of a portion of the roof at the Beecher Road School. The grant will cover 27.86% of the school’s total estimated $13.345 million renovation cost, which includes the North roof replacement, HVAC work, windows, walls, lighting, an entry canopy, a pool cover and dehumidification, security upgrades and more.

· $849,075 more for renovations and an expansion to Naugatuck High School. The state had already approved $58,475,925 for the high school upgrades; it will now provide $59,325,000.
