THOMPSON — Oct. 28 a Thompson man was arrested and charged with various drug charges. Zachary Monahan, 27, of 434 Quaddick Road, was charged with possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, operation of a drug factory, three counts of risk of injury to a minor, receiving stolen property and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The arrest came after members of the Troop-D Quality of Life Task Force, the Statewide Narcotics Task Force – East office, and personnel assigned to the Troop D “Danielson Barracks” executed multiple search and seizure warrants at 434 Quaddick Road.

They also found four stolen firearms. These stolen firearms were later linked to several burglaries in the Thompson and Woodstock area. Police also seized a digital scale and approximately $2,000.

PUTNAM — The Daughters of Penelope Asteria Chapter of Danielson recently made a donation of baby clothes, blankets, booties, and bibs, all purchased by the members of the Daughters of Penelope through member contributions and an anonymous $200 donation.

 The donation is an annual tradition for the group. Clara Angelos, Daughters of Penelope Danielson Chapter president, said, “There are many underprivileged families living in northeastern Connecticut, and our chapter wanted to help out in some way. Every baby should have nice, new warm clothes and a blanket to go home in. Unfortunately for some families even those purchases can be challenging.”

Betty Church, a longtime member of the group and supporter of Day Kimball, echoed those sentiments. “Things are difficult for many families these days. I just can’t bear to think of a young family not being able to leave the hospital with the basics needed to care for their new baby. We all have to help each other out in a community, and I’m so happy to be able to do this every year with the Daughters of Penelope.”

Rachel Katsoulis, director of Maternal Child Health at Day Kimball Hospital, and Pamela Watts, DKH director of development, accepted the donations at the hospital’s birthing center.

“We’re so thankful to the Daughters of Penelope for their generosity year after year,” said Katsoulis. “The clothes and blankets are very helpful, of course. But even just the thought that people in the community care enough about each other and our children to do this goes a long way toward young families feeling supported, and that’s very important.”
