ANSONIA – A delegation from Valley schools will head to the United Nations on March 28 to learn about LGBTQ history and rights across the globe.
Ansonia High School was one of 50 schools in the nation to win a $10,000 grant from the It Gets Better Project. The high school, which also received the grant last year, is one of just ten schools to receive the grant twice.
Grants from the project can be used for a variety of purposes. Last year, the high school used theirs to host schools across Connecticut for a Valley Pride conference. This year, they’re taking Valley Pride to New York – and they’re bringing other schools with them.
DERBY — Fire Marshal David Marcarelli sent along the following information:
Fifteen people were killed in fires in the first two months of 2024 in Connecticut, making it the deadliest start to the year in at least a decade, according to data from the state fire officials. Most deadly fires happen where people live, and there are generally more fires in the winter, when people spend more time indoors and turn on the heat. However, smoking, cooking, and burning candles are among the top causes of unintentional fires.

ANSONIA – Police said that a distraught man jumped into Coe Pond after officers discovered him living in a tent along its banks.
Around 3 p.m. on Friday (March 22), an Ansonia resident called police and told them a man had set up a camp near Coe Pond. When officers approached the man, he picked up one of his bags and walked into the water.
Officers called the fire department, who arrived and rescued the man. He was not injured, officials said.
Ansonia Fire Department Assistant Chief Anthony DeLucia, who was on the scene, said that the water was around 40 degrees when the man got in. That’s cold enough to kill, according to the National Weather Service.

On March 21, 2024, the Ansonia Watch D.O.G.S. met for their first planning meeting to talk about recruiting, activities, and orientation. The Watch D.O.G.S. Program stands for Dads of Great Students, which brings dads and dad figures into school classrooms and hallways across the country, thus creating hours of in-school volunteer time and having a tremendously positive impact on the educational process. State Senator Jorge Cabrera came out to address the dads on how important their work with Watch D.O.G.S. is and how appreciative everyone is of them.
