2. CT home with 'significant hoarding conditions' deemed uninhabitable following fire (courant.com) — A Sunday morning fire left a Day Break Lane home in Shelton uninhabitable and forced firefighters to navigate severe hoarding conditions while searching for anyone inside.

3. DCP issues cease-and-desist to Phire in the Hole sauce company (newbritainherald.com) — Shelton shoppers who visit Beardsley's Cider Mill & Orchard should check their cupboards for Phire in the Hole hot sauces sold there between November 2025 and August 17, 2026. State officials ordered the Monroe-based company to stop selling the products over botulism concerns, embargoed remaining stock at the orchard, and urge anyone with symptoms like weakness or trouble swallowing to seek immediate care.
   

4. Decree of Establishment of the Saint Lazarus Guild and Promulgation of its Statutes (bridgeportdiocese.org) — A new Saint Lazarus Guild has been formally established by Bishop Frank Caggiano, with the diocesan center based at the Catholic Center in Shelton.
