Stamford man s dreams were shattered after car hit him as he crossed the street, paralyzing him

STAMFORD For more than two decades, downtown Stamford was like a second home to David Bond.
The 67-year-old Stamford native often frequented the area, wearing his gray beanie and a black jacket, walking behind a shopping cart filled with his most prized possessions, different articles of clothing and his favorite books.
When he wasn’t walking the city streets, Bond often spent his time reading or talking to friends in Latham or Scalzi parks.
But that all changed earlier this year, on Jan. 3, when Bond was struck by a car while crossing West Main Street, near its intersection with Spruce Street. Police later determined that Bond had walked across the street during a green light, so the driver faced no charges and was allowed to walk from the scene.

CHESHIRE â Finding out more about your family history was made easier with Carol Ansel, director of the Godfrey Memorial Library in Middletown, in her February presentation, âWhat can we learn from the Census.â
Cheshire Public Library hosted the online program during which Ansel gave examples from her own family history using census records. The approach was a clever way to help people find their way as they researched their lineage. Ansel gave the audience some tools to use, and at the same time, offered a wider picture of America by spotlighting the countryâs historical timeline taken from the pages of the U.S. census.
