Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Truckers said goodbye to one of their own with a special caravan in Seymour.
In a trend reflecting national funeral service changes, the Ansonia valley area is seeing increases in creative memorial services to honor the lives of those lost.
“As no two people are alike, no two memorial services are any longer,” states Jerry Macari Jr, President and Senior Director of Miller Macari Family Funeral Home in Seymour. “We take great pride in working with families to create memorial tributes as unique as the person whose life is being celebrated.”

Oh, 1992, what a year!
Steven Spielberg made a bad movie called “Hook” in 1992, yet it still managed to capture the top spot of the box office this week back in the day!
“The Simpsons” aired against “The Cosby Show” this week in ’92 — and lost in the ratings!
The no. 1 song in the U.S. this week in 1992 was Michael Jackson’s “Black or White.”
Fun fact: Nirvana’s first hit, “Smells Like Spirit,” jumped from no. 13 to no. 6 and was the only rock tune (then called ‘alternative’ and later, ‘grunge’) in the top 10.
Here is what was happening in our Valley, as stolen from the microfilm edition of The Evening Sentinel!

The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG), the regional planning agency representing 19 towns in the Naugatuck Valley, is inviting the community to help shape the future of public engagement in the region. As part of an update to its Title VI Plan and Public Participation Plan, NVCOG is seeking feedback to ensure that its planning processes are inclusive, equitable, and accessible to all residents.
The Title VI Plan ensures that all programs, activities, and services comply with federal civil rights laws guaranteeing non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. The Public Participation Plan outlines strategies to engage the public in the planning process, ensuring diverse voices are heard and represented.
