                                                Until Help Arrives

            An innovative program, Until Help Arrives, presented by representatives from the Milford Health and Fire Departments, will take place at the Milford Senior Center, Monday, November 6 at 1:00 p.m.  The presentation teaches citizens basic skills to keep people alive until professional help arrives in a trauma situation.  While the Nation’s emergency medical responders are quick to arrive, any delay between injury and the initiation of care could have serious consequences.

The Milford Senior Center regularly provides presentations relating to various programs and discussions that would benefit and interest the public.   A monthly bulletin, available at the Center and at many public offices and stores throughout the city can be referred to for the latest programs held at the Milford Senior Center, located at 9 Jepson Drive.

Program Director, Amanda Berry, can be contacted at 203 877-5131 for additional information on this program.

Fairfield Connecticut divorce attorney and mediator Larry Sarezky has won a 2017 National Indie Excellence Award for his family law how-to book, Divorce, Simply Stated. Sarezky will be presenting a program at Milford Library (Thursday, November 9 at 7pm) for both divorcing spouses and what he calls “divorce first responders”: grandparents, friends, siblings , clergy – anyone who may be helping a couple separate in a fair and efficient manner.  

“Divorce, Simply Stated” includes rarely discussed tips from a veteran divorce insider on maximizing results while minimizing expense, worry and acrimony. In addition to the divorce essentials, the book also contains stress-reducing humor, and a holistic approach to help readers cope, organize, relax, and even sleep better during separation and divorce.

Sarezky’s other efforts to ease the burdens of divorce include his nationally acclaimed TellyAward-winning custody film, “Talk To Strangers.”The 25-minute dramatic film is in use throughout the U.S. and abroad to dissuade parents from pursuing unnecessary custody and other child-related litigation. The film will be shown as part of the presentation.

A past Chair of the Connecticut Bar Association’s Family Law Section, Larry Sarezky has represented clients from the ranks of Fortune 500 CEOs, MLB Hall of Famers, and Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winners. In recent years, Larry has

focussed on easing the burden of divorcing spouses and their children.

All are welcometo the November 9 program. Copies of “Divorce, Simply Stated” will be available for sale for $19.55. Cash or check is accepted.

 On Saturday, November 11 at 2pm, Milford Library welcomes debut author Lynne Constantine and her sister and writing partner, Valerie. The sisters have collaborated on a thriller that has just been published by HarperCollins, titled The Last Mrs. Parrish. The book is a mesmerizing psychological thriller about a woman who worms her way into the lives of a wealthy golden couple from Connecticut by befriending the wife and seducing the husband. Lynne lives here in Milford, and her sister lives in Maryland; they co-wrote the novel by email and FaceTime.

The writing process can be complicated with two authors. “Most sisters argue over borrowed clothes or who had it easier growing up. My sister, Valerie, and I have disagreements about our imaginary friends,” says Lynne with a laugh. Together they are writing under the name “Liv Constantine,” and it looks like they’ve got a hit on their hands. Library Journal calls it “a deliciously duplicitous psychological thriller,” and best-selling author Lee Child describes it as “deliciously chilling and creepy—some of the best psychological suspense you’ll read this year.”

Valerie chimes in, “It’s been said that writing is a lonely profession. In our case, nothing could be further from the truth. It’s brought us closer, given us great belly laughs and great insights into our own psyches. And no one understands the anguish of rejection or the joy of accomplishment like your co-author. The bond of sisterhood is a precious gift. To be lucky enough to create together makes it priceless.”
