Hardest Toy to Assemble – 12/26/2008

Posted by Bob on December 26, 2008 under Daily Blogs | 2 Comments to Read

I got lucky this year.  One pricey gift (Wii) with only a few cables to connect was a huge difference from past Christmas’ filled with lots of small parts and vague instructions.  While some parents were fortunate not to have to work the day after Christmas, I am sure many with the day “off” were busy assembling new toys for anxious children.  Who had the worst experience?

Happy Holidays

Are you registered? – 12/18/2008

Posted by Bob on December 18, 2008 under Daily Blogs | Be the First to Comment

As local election season approaches, now is a good time to determine if you are registered to vote.  Unlike other states, Connecticut only allows members of the same political party to vote in a primary.  While it is too late to switch from one party to another and vote in the upcoming Naugatuck mayoral primaries on March 9, 2009, unaffiliated voters can still register with a party up to the day before the primary. 

Registration or affiliating with a party is easy.  You may do so in person at the Naugatuck Town Hall, 229 Church Street, Naugatuck, CT 06770; or by mail if you have the registration form.  You may download the registration form by clicking on the link located on the right side of this blog.

Make your voice heard.

Congratulations Eileen McCaughern – 12/12/2008

Eileen McCaughern, President and founder of Retired Greyhounds as Pets Connecticut (REGAP – CT), was recently honored as “Hero of the Year” by the Animal Planet.  Ms. McCaughern has rescued an estimated FIVE THOUSAND greyhounds over a thirty five year period by finding homes for retired racers.

While Ms. McCaughern lives in Bethany, many of the greyhounds you have seen around the Borough have come via her organization, including our own, Casey Stengal.

One of many luck greyhounds who found a home through Eileen McCaughern.

All for the Greyhounds

All for the Greyhounds

Borough Employees and Board of Education Employees will square off tonight in a charity basketball game tonight (Friday) at 6:00 PM, at Naugatuck High School.  The game will kick-off the 2008-2009 basketball season for Naugy, with proceeds benefiting both the boys and girls teams.

Admission is $3.00, with $1.00 off the price if a canned good is brought for the Food Bank.

I do not bet, nor do I encourage it, but my early line is Borough Employees by 3.

Hope to see you there.

Change of Football Fortunes – 12/7/08

Patriot Fans in Happier Days

Patriot Fans in Happier Days

The Giants lose and the Patriots win on the same Sunday?  A year ago that would not have sounded so bizarre, but this year has been different.  As a lifelong Patriot fan in divided football country, it has been a tough year given last year’s Super Bowl loss and a lackluster defense this year.  As much as I would like to complain, I have to put things in perspective given the Patriots’ difficult history prior to the dynasty.

I give a tremendous amount of credit to what the Giants have been able to do over the past year.  It pains me to say it, but they are clearly the best team in football right now.  Today’s loss was understandable given the nature of rivalry games.  I would love to see a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl, but that is not looking particularly promising for one of the teams right now.
