DERBY — A food truck operated by Valley foodie royalty is open for another season on Roosevelt Drive.
Dom and Cheri Pirritino returned from the warmth of Florida to re-open Larry’s Landing on March 4. The food truck is at 285 Roosevelt Drive, across from Calvert Safe & Lock and the Housatonic River.
Larry’s Landing offers burgers, hot dogs and fries, along with fresh seafood fare like lobster rolls, fish and chips and fried clams. They also offer a breakfast menu that features classic bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches to French toast.
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.
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.
ANSONIA – A man accused of murdering his wife with an ax while his children were in the home will receive further psychiatric evaluations before entering a plea.
Kamil Zielinski, 30, was originally scheduled to appear in court on Thursday (March 21) to accept or reject a plea deal offered by the state. Under that deal, he would be sentenced to 45 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Grace Zielinska, in the couple’s Root Avenue home in 2021.
However, during his court appearance, prosecutor Margaret Kelly said further psychiatric exams would need to be conducted first.
