#Fairfield CT– Tuesday Senior Helpers located at 1700 Post Road in Fairfield held their ribbon cutting at their offices. Owner Katie Vanovitch said Senior Helpers mission is to allow senior citizens to maintain their independence for as long as possible within their home. They also provide the family caregiver the relief they need so they can continue with their daily lives.
This was the first ribbon cutting I brought my wife to because she is the primary caregiver to her 88-year-old mother and 94-year-old father and it was an opportunity for her to get some new resources in tending to their needs.

How many of you heard a loud, long rumble of thunder and looked to the sky to see no serious storm clouds? I did. The thunderstorm is way off the distance on Long Island moving west to east so it won’t hit us. At least now you know you aren’t hearing things!

On Thursday, June 22, 2017 at 2:38 p.m., Trumbull Police received a report of an attempted carjacking at Twin Brooks Park located off White Plains Road. The 69 year old victim told police he was seated in his car in the park when a “young male” came up to his door, opened it and pointed a handgun at him. The male ordered the victim out of his car and began pulling on his shirt. The elderly male refused the robber’s demands, who then gave up after the defiant victim would not leave his car. Witnesses and the victim saw the suspect flee in an older grayish green car, which sped away toward Beaches Pool.
Approximately 20 minutes later, Fairfield Police received a report of an attempted robbery in the north end of their town on Easton Turnpike. A responding Fairfield officer located and stopped an older green Honda leaving the area with two males inside.

After an investigation lead by Fairfield detectives, it was determined that both males were involved in the Trumbull robbery attempt as well. Trumbull detectives investigated and verified that both suspects were also responsible for the Twin Brooks robbery attempt and they were obtaining arrest warrants for both.
