📰 News we're reading
• Oxford Looks To Fix Problems With Aging Radio System (patch.com) — Oxford officials are weighing upgrades to the town's aging emergency radio system after fire leaders reported intermittent communication problems. Proposed changes include moving radio links to fiber and improving receiver sites, plus better integration with the Oxford Center Fire Station and the regional dispatch center so faulty sites can be disabled remotely. Funding details and a project timeline have not yet been announced. 
• Griffin Hospital Annual 5K Set For Oct. 24 (newhavenindependent.org) — Residents from Oxford are invited to join Griffin Hospital's 18th annual 5K Walk/Run in Derby on Saturday, Oct. 24, supporting cancer care close to home. The family-friendly event offers team fundraising, sponsorship opportunities, and commemorative signs honoring loved ones, with proceeds funding advanced radiation therapy for Lower Naugatuck Valley patients.
