Milford mayor's youth award finalists announced

By -


Mayor Benjamin G. Blake in conjunction with Milford Youth and Family Services, will present the 24th Annual Mayor’s Youth Award in a ceremony scheduled on Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 5:00 p.m. at the Milford City Hall Auditorium.

Each year, the Mayor and Milford Youth and Family Services acknowledges youth that have performed outstanding service to improve Milford or to assist its residents. Teachers, parents, clergy and others in the community nominate youth for this award.

Nominees are considered for individual awards in three age-based categories: elementary, middle, and high school. In addition, there is a fourth category to honor the accomplishments of youth groups.

One goal of the awards process is to acknowledge the dedication and achievements of Milford’s youth. To this end, everyone is invited to join us and attend.

Questions may be directed to Christie Roche, Program Coordinator at Milford Youth and Family Services at 203-783-3253 or by email to croche@ci.milford.ct.us.

Milford's Unsolved Murders

By NJM -
After the June 11 arrest of Luis A. Rodriguez for the 2001 murder of Walnut Beach resident Kelsey Monahon, I got curious about other long-term unsolved homicides in Milford. So, I began digging through the New Haven Register's archives; I looked at all the murders in Milford that we have on record (dating back to the 1940s) and I came up with a list of 9* unfortunate souls whose murders are unsolved. Here are all the ones I could find in chronological order: -Peter Spinelli (1996) -Unidentified male remains (1994) -Unidentified male remains (1992) -Anna E. Hiltz (1983)** -Constance Roberts (1982)  -Blasé Miserendino (1978) -Gary Steadman (1977) -Kenneth Matteson (1975) -Charles McCoy (1968) Sometimes, homicides take a long, long time to solve. And sometimes, after a while, people come out of the woodwork with some scrap of evidence or memory that helps close a decades-old crime. I'm still working on the story, but I wanted to reach out to the Milf...

Just 9 percent of respondents said a mixed-use development, followed closed by open s...

Milford theater site sold; what do you think should go there?

By -
Milford reporter Rich Scinto needs your help for a story he is working on today. At an Economic Development Commission meeting this morning it was revealed that the former Milford Showcase Cinemas site sold for more than $5 million. But the $5 million question concerns what will be going there. As Milford residents what do you think should occupy the former theater site on Cherry Street? Post your comments here or email Rich at rscinto@newhavenregister.com Here is what we have thus far. MILFORD—The vacant National Amusements Theater on Cherry Street has sold to Cerruzzi Properties LLC. The property was sold on June 12 for $5.8 million. It had been vacant for six years after National Amusements moved its location inside the Connecticut Post Mall.   Cerruzzi Properties has a good history of developing properties in Milford, said Robert Burr Gregory, director of economic and community development for Milford. “We do not expect that property to remain empty or vacant fo...
