Ansonia, Naugatuck Meet For 77th Time
ANSONIA – The Lavendar Chargers will be at Nolan Field at 10:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday to meet their oldest rival Naugatuck High School in the 77th meeting of the two keen rivals.
The long-standing rivalry began in 1900 when the local eleven won by a score of 5 – 0. They played twice in 1901, splitting the games, Ansonia winning 18 – 0 and Naugatuck taking the second one 6 – 0. In 1904 they played three games, with each team winning one and the last one ending in a scoreless tie.
They played two more times in 1905 with Ansonia winning the second one 18 – 0, after tying the first match 6 – 6. The clubs tied 5 – 5 in 1907 in the first battle and then the Greyhounds won the second game 5 – 0. They did not play in 1911 or in 1915, and World War I halted play in 1918. The streak really has gone continuously since 1925 without interruption.
Happy Thanksgiving From The Valley Indy

OXFORD – Following the August floods in Oxford, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut (GWNC) rallied its team to support victims of the disaster. GWNC’s involvement began at Quarry Walk with boots-on-the-ground support in the days following the flood, handing out food and water, cleaning items, and distributing Goodwill gift cards.
Alongside Team Inc. and the American Red Cross, GWNC served as a support system for Oxford residents navigating a monumental disruption. This cycle of support for the Oxford community has now culminated in a donation of more than $13,000 through GWNC’s Round Up campaign.
