SEYMOUR — The true story of a small horse that bravely served with US Marines in Korea will be the focus of a Seymour Historical Society program on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 2 p.m.
The horse’s name was Reckless, and she was trained to carry ammunition and transport wounded Marines from the battlefield. The highlight of her nine-month military career came in March 1953 when, during one battle, she made 51 trips to resupply front-line units. Twice wounded, she was awarded two Purple Hearts — and earned the gratitude of the Marines who served with her.

Elizabeth Street at Route 34 (Main Street) in front of Derby City Hall.
DERBY – The completion date of the Route 34 widening project has been pushed to June 2025, officials from the state Department of Transportation (DOT) said on Wednesday (Oct. 16).
The state initially said the $18.7 million project would be done this month.
DOT spokesperson Josh Morgan said the delay is due to a damaged aqueduct under the road near Home Depot at 117 Main St. Route 34 is a state road called Main Street locally.
Morgan said the old, abandoned aqueduct did not show up on any of the construction plans.

Reporter Jean Falbo-Sosnovich once again hijacked the Microfilm time machine at Seymour Public Library to bring you the very best in local news from 1968!
Monday, Oct. 14, 1968
$5,000 In Clothes Taken From Men’s Store ANSONIA – Some 50 suits and 75 trench coats were reported missing from the B&L Mean’s Store, 116 Main St., Ansonia, early Sunday morning after an apparent burglary earlier in the night.
Berthold Levi, an owner of the store, told police the value of the stolen goods was estimated at $5,000.
An hour before the burglary was discovered, Patrolman Walter Hartsburg spotted a car with six youths in it on Main Street. When he approached the car, it sped off and turned onto Railroad Avenue, going up the street against one-way signs.
It was not known by police whether the two incidents were related.
