Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• West Haven Overdose Awareness Day Includes Free Naloxone Training, Kits (patch.com) — West Haven residents are invited to mark Overdose Awareness Day on Monday with a noon ceremony on the steps of City Hall, including a mayoral proclamation and a call to wear purple in solidarity. The Health Department will offer free, confidential naloxone training and kits from noon to 2 p.m., and City Hall will glow purple that night to honor lives lost and support affected families.
• Schedules could make or break these 10 CT football teams in 2026 (nhregister.com) — West Haven High's football team faces one of the toughest 2026 schedules in Connecticut, with opponents boasting a .730 winning percentage and multiple recent state champions. After narrowly missing the Class LL playoffs last year and graduating key offensive players, the Blue Devils must navigate this brutal slate under second-year coach Tom Unger to return to state title contention.
• Early Oseltamivir Tied to Lower Hospitalization Risk in Flu (medscape.com subscription) — Researchers at the VA Connecticut Health Care System in West Haven found that giving the flu drug oseltamivir within six hours of diagnosis significantly cut hospitalizations and ICU admissions for veterans. While the study used national VA data, it highlights important infectious disease research work happening right in West Haven's VA facility that could shape how local doctors treat flu cases.
