A Joyful Start
Day Kimball Hospital said it is “delighted to welcome northeastern Connecticut’s Baby New Year, Genevieve Joan Gieck, born at 8:39 a.m. on Jan. 2, 2026.” She weighed 7 lbs., 0 oz. and measured 19.5 inches long at birth. She is the first child of Sarah and Vincent Gieck of Ashford, and both mom and baby are doing well. To celebrate this special New Year arrival, Genevieve and her family were welcomed with a basket of baby essentials generously gifted by the Woman’s Board of Day Kimball Hospital. The hospital added, “We’re honored to begin the year by caring for families during life’s most meaningful moments.”

Crossings closure
Message from the Crossings: “We understand that there are many concerns regarding the restaurant’s closure, and we want to acknowledge that this was an abrupt and unforeseen situation. Our landlord made the decision to reclaim the building we were leasing, which necessitated the closure. All employees will receive their final paychecks. We are also working to address outstanding gift card matters. As you can appreciate, resolving these issues will take some time, and we ask for your patience as we work through the necessary steps."
