Shelton Exchange Club slates 6th annual mini-golf fundraiser in Ansonia


Ansonia Library to host talk on Social Security changes

ANSONIA - The Ansonia Library will host Social Security Changes: The Impact on Your Retirement at 6 p.m. Wednesday (Jan. 10).

Retirement is one of the most important life events many of us will ever experience. 
When to collect Social Security may be the single most important decision you make in context of planning your retirement. 
This is a great opportunity to learn key concepts you need to know before applying for Social Security. 

At this workshop, you will learn: regulation changes impacting filing time, how benefits are calculated, why some people can miss out on significant lifetime sums, what your money is earmarked for, and many other key points. 
Workshop will be led by Michael Alimo and David Weymer of USA Financial.

The Library is at 53 S. Cliff St.

Recuperation journey: Egg shells and blue jays

I threw egg shells out for the blue jays this morning, and of course the shells dropped under the snow. 
To my surprise about an hour later a blue jay came over, pulled one out of the snow and flew away. 
Now I know they can smell the shells. I wasn't sure if they only found them by sight. 

Below is one of the five blue jays hanging around here this morning. Photo taken through the window. I haven't ventured outside.
I just missed getting a picture of the one grabbing the egg shell. 
Next time!





Recuperation journey: Posin'

... or frozen? 

I'm kidding. 
At least they froze in place long enough for their morning photo shoot. 


A few minutes after I took this there were five blue jays in the forsythia. The word must have gotten out that I'm generous with my egg shells.

Shout out to Seymour police officer who delivered prescription to a resident

I saw this post by Elizabeth Anderson on Facebook this afternoon and asked her permission to share it here.
Seymour Patrol Officer Michael Jasmin should be recognized for doing a great job in these hazardous weather conditions! 
He truly knows the meaning of "to protect and serve."
