Ansonia Park Celebrates New Beginning

ANSONIA - Although an extended thunderstorm cut short a proposed daylong celebration (Saturday, July 27) of Abe Stone Park’s new beginning, the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the day’s ceremony that was well-attended by City residents and dignitaries.


Mayor David Cassetti spoke and thanked sponsors whose generous donations to the Mayor’s Ansonia Beautification Fund enabled the extensive park makeover. Free hot dogs were served throughout the afternoon, rain or shine, for all those attending. There was pickup basketball and wiffleball games, volleyball, boating on Colony Pond, and new hiking trails explored as the live band on hand played on. 

Mayor Cassetti invites residents to rediscover Abe Stone Park, take a hike around the pond. Bring family and friends for a cookout or outing. Come down to boat, fish, play basketball and enjoy the new volleyball court.

SHS Gaelettes to host Fundraising Game

  

SHELTON -The Shelton High School Girls Basketball team will host its annual “BLUE GAME” at Shelton High School Feb. 6 when the Gaelettes take on rival Guilford High School. 

The “BLUE GAME” is an event in which the Shelton High School Girls Basketball program helps raise awareness of Type 1 Diabetes, also known as Juvenile Diabetes.     

 

The event will be held at the Murray Gymnasium at Shelton High School, 120 Meadow St., starting with the Junior Varsity game at 5:15 p.m. and will culminate with the Varsity match-up at 7 p.m.

 

Many local businesses and families have donated items to be raffled off as part of this event with all proceeds being donated to Yale Pediatric Diabetes.   

 

Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. It comes on suddenly, and causes dependency on injected or pumped insulin for a person’s life.  

T1D carries the constant threat of devastating complications throughout an affected person’s lifetime. There is nothing you can do to prevent T1D, and - at present - there is nothing to cure it. It is a condition that must be monitored and treated for life.

 

The Shelton High School Girls Basketball program has had past and current players who are afflicted with Type 1 Diabetes and are constantly managing their lives with this affliction.  The team’s passion to help their teammates and others living with T1D is immeasurable.

Please consider attending this important event to help support the cause and Yale Pediatric Diabetes. 

 

Don’t forget wear your “BLUE” to show your support.
