The Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) reminds everyone that Thursday, May 2, 2024 is the National Day of Prayer.
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May inviting every one of all faiths to pray for the nation. The tradition began in 1775 when the First Continental Congress called for a national Day of Prayer, continued when President Lincoln called for a Day of Prayer in 1863 and was made into law in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Truman.
THEVALLEY (ANDBEYOND) — The Great Give, an annual online fundraiser that benefits just about every nonprofit group in the greater Naugatuck Valley, is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Wednesday, May 1 and continue until 8 p.m. Thursday, May 2.
Last year’s Great Give raised more than $3.4 million for nonprofit organizations, including $12,000 for The Valley Indy, which uses The Great Give as its annual reader drive.

Gino DiGiovanni Jr. speaks with reporters after winning the Derby Republican primary for mayor in the fall of 2023.
DERBY – Federal prosecutors want a judge to sentence Gino DiGiovanni, Jr. to 30 days in jail for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
DiGiovanni’s lawyer is arguing for no jail time, noting that his client has been sufficiently shamed.
DiGiovanni is scheduled to be sentenced in front of U.S. James E. Boasberg on Wednesday (April 24). He pleaded guilty in January to a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
In a previous interview with The Valley Indy, DiGiovanni said he approached the U.S. Capitol with a large group of people after watching President Donald Trump speak at a ‘stop the steal’ rally. He said he got caught up in the crowd and was unable to turn back, and was allowed into the Capitol building by law enforcement.

HARTFORD – State lawmakers who say they’ve heard from constituents about incessant noise from large solar projects are pushing for more local control of where those projects can be built.
“(Communities) have no authority when noise becomes a burden,” said state Rep. Jaime Foster, D‑Ellington.
Foster, other lawmakers, and local officials have been dealing with complaints from neighbors of a solar array in East Windsor for years. Among the issues, they say, is that municipalities have no ability to limit when a project can be built. That power rests with the Connecticut Siting Council.
“The problem is that it is an overreach by the state,” said Rep. Carol Hall, R‑Enfield. “Local municipalities can’t regulate (where solar projects are built), They have zero control and say.”
