Animal Haven Pet of the Month — HerbieHerbie is an 9-month-year old domestic cat with soft, gorgeous, gray fur. He was

brought to Animal Haven at about four-months of age. He was a little shy and skittishand had no apparent physical issues. He has since been labeled as having VestibularCerebellar Disease. The only physical handicap he has is that he wobbles his head.

He appears to be comfortable and pain-free and he eats, drinks and uses his litter boxlike any other cat. The doctor has recommended a neurology exam and a possible CTscan. Although this can be very costly, Animal Haven is putting together a fundraiser.Herbie is a wonderful affectionate cat who loves to hug, play and loves people. He lovesother cats, but sometimes they get alittle nervous around him. He needsa family to give him unconditionallove and who will provide him withmuch affection regardless of his spe-cial needs.

For more information about Her-bie or other animals available foradoption, call Animal Haven at (203)239-2641.

25 years strong for theNorth Haven PTSA

Road RaceTwenty-five years ago, the

North Haven PTSA RoadRace began and was headedby Jan Campion with only ahandful of runners. Despiteits humble beginnings itquickly began to grow a de-voted crowd of followers andvolunteers.

When Marianne Ensleinand Lyn Gradoville took overin 1999, the runner’s timeswere still recorded by handon poster board posted at thefinish line. The amount ofparticipants hovered around150.

However, things werequick to change as the roadrace gained popularity. Thetiming system and recordswere computerized. Soon,the number of runners grewto over 350. With the increasein participants, the race nowrequired many more volun-teers to man registration ta-bles, be in charge of food, tro-phies, t-shirts and map theroute for a safe run.

Twenty-five years after its

humble beginning, theNorth Haven Road Race hasnow become USATF certi-fied. This new certificationmeans the race can be adver-tised on running websites toattract many more runners.It also means those who aremore serious about runningare able to use their time toqualify for other races in thestate. This upcoming spring,runners of all kinds are ex-pected to show up. For thehistory of the race, the old,young, modest and even theserious runners have all par-ticipated to support the com-munity of North Haven andthe PTSA who is sponsoringthe race as a fundraiser.

Come run this spring onApril 15th to celebrate the25th anniversary of theNorth Haven Road Race andsupport the PTSA.

Tragedy in Alabama inspires local awareness campaignBy Andrew Gargano

The North Haven Citizen

A North Haven resident of41 years has taken to passingout candy bars in a unique ef-fort to raise awareness aboutchild abuse.

Ray Fowler decided to startwhat is being called “TheCandy Bar Campaign” afterlearning of the death of a 9-year-old girl in Alabama lastmonth.

In a story that made na-tional news, SavannahHardin died from a seizure af-ter being forced to run forthree hours as punishmentfor lying to her grandmotherabout eating candy.

According to Fowler, ninepeople later admitted to hav-ing seen it happen, but neverreported it.

The tragedy in Alabamaoccurred just a few weeks af-ter Fowler had given a pres-entation on child abuse at theFebruary North Haven Boardof Selectmen meeting.Fowler said the story affectedhim strongly.

“If it could happen there,there’s absolutely no reasonsomething like this couldn’thappen in North Haven,” hesaid.

Fowler emphasized that nogovernment funds were be-ing used to finance the cam-paign, and he is not acceptingdonations. The endeavor isbeing funded entirely by him

and his wife Sallie.“It’s been amazing. People

want to give a donation 99percent of the time, but I’mnot accepting donations,”said Fowler, who has handedout over 120 candy bars thusfar.

Instead, he advises thosepeople to buy candy barsthemselves, label them, andpass them out as awareness.

“When the town is coatedin Hershey bars, people willremember that child abuse isa real issue,” said Fowler.

“And it can just as easily bean issue in North Haven as itcould be anywhere else.”

Fowler is currently partic-ipating in discussions withseveral town groups, includ-

ing the First Selectman’s of-fice, Community ServiceCommission and Board ofEducation, on how to imple-ment the National ChildAbuse Awareness Month ofApril into North Haven.

Fowler urges everyone tobe on the lookout for any in-stances of child abuse, whichhe calls the most underre-ported crime in America.

“Nobody knows when it’sa problem, and people areafraid to report it,” he said.“And no child dials 9-1-1 andsays they’re being abused.They’re afraid too.”

In addition to improving

the reporting of such crimes,Fowler calls the developmentof viable treatment pro-grams for abusers equallyimportant. In his Februarypresentation, Fowler saidthat 83 percent of childabusers are not irreparablymentally ill, but more inneed of programs in place tohelp check tendencies of vio-lence and neglect.

“We need people to bemore aware of this issue,”said Fowler. “And if theywould support both preven-tion and education pro-grams, we just might be ableto end this.”

Kindergartenregistration

The North Haven SchoolDistrict announced kinder-garten registration forMarch 26, 27 and 28 for allNorth Haven ElementarySchools. Children enteringkindergarten must be fiveyears old on or before Janu-ary 1, 2013. Birth certificate,immunization records andproof of residency are re-quired.

Alexander Caruthers. She re-membered being introducedto him and his female com-panion Louise Bourget at theSingleton ball that was host-ed by Alexander and Con-stance Caruthers.

Unconscious, he lookedvulnerable and lost. As shecontinued to examine him,the stable doors opened and a

dark-blond haired, handsomeman entered. Startled at whathe saw, he asked, “My dearHonoria, what are you doing?And who is that on theground?”

“I found him upon my re-turn to the stables. He isJean-Luc Tessier, the French-man and rebel we met at Sin-gleton Lodge. He is woundedand I believe he is burning upwith fever. We need to get himsome assistance. Please,Ethan, help me bring him to

the main house.”Ethan hesitated at first

and told his fiancée that hisparents would not be pleasedwith bringing into theirhome a wounded man whomay be hiding from someoneor the authorities. Honoriaquickly reminded Ethan thatJean-Luc was a human beingin trouble and that Mr.Fairchild, like his son, had acaring and compassionateheart. Feeling a bit reluctant,Ethan agreed to assist Jean-Luc at Honoria’s request. Hetold Honoria to wrap Jean-Luc in a blanket that was in

the stables. “The blanket will disguise

the gunshot wound until weget him up to the mainhouse. I will go and get thestable boys to assist. I shallreturn momentarily,” saidEthan.

While Ethan was gone,Honoria wrapped Jean-Lucin a blanket. She then gentlystroked his hot forehead. Afew moments later, Ethan re-turned with the two stableboys. They hastily made animprovised pallet on which

they placed an unconsciousJean-Luc. Then within mo-ments they carried him to thehouse, and Honoria and thedogs followed behind.

At her home on DoverStreet, Mrs. Kensington saidfarewell to Lieutenant Brad-ford, who returned to theCaruthers’ residence. Mrs.Kensington took a turn aboutthe room. She was a shortwoman. The gently roundedfigure once made her seemdoll-like had thickened intosolid matronly lines. Still,she moved with a quick, lightstep and from under her lacecap silvery ringlets lined herforehead giving her a disarm-ingly youthful look with herpiercing bluish gray eyes.She stared at Philippe, whohad emerged from his hidingplace in the adjoining room.

“Were you shocked uponhearing the secret that Ishare with Lt. Michael Brad-ford? I know that you over-heard our conversation and Ialso know that if you andyour precious Annabel wishto stay in my good graces andunder my protection, youshall remain silent,” saidMrs. Kensington dryly.

“My dear Mrs. KensingtonI do admit that I was shockedto learn that Lt. Bradford isyour son, but now I do under-stand why he assisted us instealing the treasure fromAlexander Caruthers and hiscompanions. As far asAnnabel and I are concerned,we are grateful for your gen-erosity and assistance, and

your secret is safe with us,”said Philippe.

Before Philippe could ut-ter another word, Annabelentered the drawing roomwith a devilish smirk on herface. She went up to her hus-band and put her hand underhis arm.

“Our gracious hostess,you need not worry about ustelling a living soul your se-cret. Philippe and I want youas a friend than an enemy,”said a coy Annabel.

“What a clever and sensi-ble woman you are marriedto Philippe. I know you willkeep my secret because thealternative will be just asdreadful as going to the guil-lotine as many of your fellowFrench aristocrats are fac-ing,” said Mrs. Kensington.Then she invited Philippeand Annabel to dine withher, and Philippe escortedthe women into the diningroom.

Meanwhile across town,the carriage carrying Chari-ty and Constance arrived atPatience Wright’s shop locat-ed in the warehouse districtof London. An anxious andelated Charity hurried out ofthe carriage, nearly trippingover her own feet. Constance

was right behind her friend.As they approached the frontdoor of the shop, they no-ticed the shades were drawnand a lock had been placedon the door.

“I do not understand whatis going on. Why is the shopclosed and where is Pa-tience?” asked a confusedCharity.

As Charity and Constancestood outside the shop, a tallslender man dressed in along greatcoat walked up tothem and inquired to whatbusiness they had at Pa-tience’s shop.

“Sir, we are looking for theproprietor of this shop, MissPatience Wright. Do youknow where she is?” askedCharity in a worried tone.

“I am the landlord of thisrow of buildings includingthe shop owned by PatienceWright. Her shop has beenseized by order of the magis-trate and she is in New GatePrison awaiting trial fortreason against the Crown,”said the man.

Charity stood frozen fromshock and then turned toConstance and said, “Thiscannot be true. Patience is agood woman. There must besome mistake.” As Con-

stance put her arm aroundCharity to comfort her, thelandlord added, “I was toldthat the evidence is over-whelming, and if MissWright is found guilty by theKing’s Criminal Court shewill be hanged.” To be con-tinued . . .

‘Miracle’ minerals?By V. Deborah Culligan

The human body is an in-credible organism. Thereare many parts that worktogether with hormones,enzymes, vitamins, miner-als and other nutrients tofunction as one machine.Each part has a specializedfunction that adds to theperpetuation of life.

Have you ever wonderedwhat the minerals listed onnutrition labels or productingredients do in yourbody? Perhaps you havenever thought about it. Butthere are some very impor-tant minerals that mayhave big impacts on ourhealth. And you may not begetting enough of them!

Two minerals that havebeen the focus of numer-ous research studies arepotassium and magne-sium. Potassium has beenshown to have a positive ef-fect on blood pressure. Inlarge studies, people withhigher potassiumintake/levels had lowerblood pressures. Scientists

are not sure how this hap-pens, but they believe itmay be related to makingblood vessels more flexibleor by dilating smaller bloodvessels.

After analyzing studies,researchers recommendthat if you want to increaseyour potassium intake, thebest way to do this isthrough your diet, as op-posed to supplement pills(chiefly because of thepresentation of the potassi-um.) The current recom-mendation for potassium is4,700 mg per day. Thisamount may be difficult toachieve, however, increas-ing foods in you diet thatare high in potassium willcertainly be an improve-ment over your currentfood selection. It is impor-tant to note that for persons

with impaired kidney func-tioning, kidney disease orfor persons taking ace-in-hibitor drugs for highblood pressure, too muchpotassium in your bloodcan be dangerous. Be sureto discuss potassium sup-plementation with yourhealth care provider.

Potassium is found natu-rally in a wide variety offoods. Foods considered tobe rich in potassium in-clude: baked potatoes withskin (844mg.), avocados(549-742 mg. per half de-pending on variety), driedfigs (666 mg. per 5), raisins(563 mg per ¼ cup), can-taloupe (494 mg Per 1 cuppieces), Swiss chard (483mg per ½ cup cooked), kid-neys beans (357 mg per ½cup cooked), dried prunes(313 mg per 5), cookedspinach (839 mg per cup), abanana (594 mg, dependingon size), beets (519 percooked cup). Orange juiceand milk (1 cup) have in the400 mg range. Note: Some of

State editorial

Tenure and teachersBy Kyle Swartz

After initially backing cer-tain suggested adjustments,Connecticut educationunions largely have shiftedtoward opposition of Gover-nor Dannel P. Malloy’s pro-posed changes to how publicschool teachers obtaintenure. While their concernshave merit — and should re-ceive consideration fromstate legislators to help crafta more well-rounded law —tenure alterations are neces-sary to improve classroomcapabilities and mitigatecosts in municipal budgets.

Currently, Connecticut in-structors receive tenure au-tomatically after four yearsof employment. Dismissingineffectual teachers is diffi-cult. According to a CTHearst Newspapers report,only 40 tenured teachers outof 53,000 were fired in thelast two years. Moreover, 93school districts, including 20of the state’s biggest 50, didnot dismiss a certified in-structor from 2004-2009. Mal-loy’s sensible plan would pro-vide tenure after threeyears, but only if teachersfirst earn passing grades onprofessional evaluationswhich mostly measure theirstudents’ levels of achieve-ment.

One logical motivationhere is to rid schools of whatMalloy has described as inef-

fective teachers every parentknows of and does not wanttheir children to have. In de-fending his recommenda-tions, the Governor recalledan instructor from his ownchildhood, a well-known al-coholic who had little to offerstudents but retained em-ployment regardless. Al-though that scenario is moreworst-case than typical, itnevertheless symbolizes theroot problem with Connecti-cut tenure. Education dis-tricts seem sluggish to firebad teachers, and thus keepon salary staff members whoare not of high ability — adisservice to kids and tax-payers.

However, before voting ontenure revisions, GeneralAssembly members shouldfirst contemplate several ed-ucation union objections.

Should Malloy’s ideaspass, teacher attention coulddrift from enhancing studentlearning to a constant fear oflosing their job. Of course, asone might argue, in private-sector businesses, employeesmust always work with real-istic knowledge that unex-pected layoffs occur.

Another appropriategrievance is whether any in-ner-school teacher wouldsurvive evaluations based onstudent achievement. Con-necticut has an enormous ac-

these foods are high in sugars(such as orange juice andprunes). As always, eating avariety of foods will ensure avariety of other vitamin andminerals.

Magnesium is a mineralthat is being studied for itsrole in Type II diabetes pre-vention. While more studiesare underway, researchers dorecommend that you get atleast the recommended dailyintake (between 320 and 420mg per day, depending onyour age and sex.) As withpotassium, the preferred wayto get magnesium is fromyour food intake, rather thana supplement. Some foodsthat are high in magnesiuminclude: black beans (120 mg

ademic-success gap betweenwealthy and fiscally chal-lenged municipalities. WhileMalloy’s overall education re-form also calls for addressingunderperforming schools,more thought is needed abouthow to handle evaluations inthese districts, where chil-dren of harsher communi-ties are more likely to fallshort on achievement exams.

unions’ main and most rea-sonable protest — why rushsweeping reform? Malloy de-serves commendation forconfronting education prob-lems head on with legislationwhich generally received, atleast at first, bipartisan sup-port. But his tenure modifi-cations have not yet beenthoroughly tested and re-fined, and should undergofurther, meticulous researchbefore becoming law.

Nevertheless, teachertenure in Connecticut mustbe amended.

We urge support of Mal-loy’s ongoing proposals. Forhe has the beginnings of aworthwhile rearrangement,one which would modernizean outmoded system thatfails at removing from mu-nicipal payrolls the costly,below-average instructorswho remain a detriment tostudents.

ing Queiroga, got to havetheir heads shaved first.

Salon employees served asshavers, and the police andother participants wereshavees. Five heads gotshaved at a time.

“I got involved with thisevent last year when OfficerMike Compare handed thereins to me before he left. Igladly accepted the responsi-bility, and we, along with sup-port and generosity of thecommunity, have done verywell,” said Queiroga. “Thenumber of officers who par-ticipated has increased fromnine last year to thirteen thisyear, and our monetary goaltripled this year.”

Queiroga added, “Therewere many familiar faces andnew faces who participated.The amount of people andsupport made this a fun andeasy event for a great cause.It’s a pleasure working withGail and her staff, and we willdefinitely do this again nextyear.”

Fellow officers and partici-pants Chris Spose and PoliceChief Thomas McLoughlinagreed with Queiroga.

“I enjoyed getting dona-tions and shaving my head. Itis for a worthy cause and Iwas taught by my parents

that it’s important to helpothers,” said Spose. “My fel-low officers and I got into afriendly competition to seewho could raise the most do-nations for this cause, and wedid very well.”

“I am very proud of all ofmy officers who serve andprotect our town but also forhelping those in need,” saidMcLoughlin. “The guys did agreat job and they did it forthe kids.”

The event began at 11 a.m.,with a constant flow of peo-ple attending and continueduntil 2 p.m. Salon doorsstayed opened to welcomewalk-ins and residents whodid not shave their heads butgenerously made donationsanyways. At the end of theevent, Ardolino was thrilledto announce that between the$8,000 raised by the police,and the proceeds from dona-tions and the raffle, the grandtotal topped $16,000 — doublelast year’s amount.

“This was a tremendoussuccess and I want to thankeveryone who helped. We willcertainly continue with thisnext year, and OfficerQueiroga and his fellow offi-cers, residents and business-es of North Haven are en-couraged to join my staff andme,” added Ardolino. “Andhopefully, we will do even bet-ter next year.”

Freda’s announcementcomes after town and YNHHleaders faced numerous road-blocks in bringing the NewHaven business into NorthHaven. After YNHH first an-nounced intentions to ex-pand in 2010, Meriden’s Mid-State Medical Center protest-ed because the competingcompany believed that aNorth Haven emergency de-partment would draw awaycustomers from Meriden.

Last year, Connecticut’sOffice of Health Care Access(OHCA) officially deniedYNHH’s application for aNorth Haven site. In herOHCA finding, attorney

Melanie A. Dillon wrote thathospital officials did not suf-ficiently prove that visita-tion projections at YNHH’sNew Haven emergencyroom, or the proposed NorthHaven one, warranted a newfacility.

After Connecticut’s objec-tion, YNHH redesignedNorth Haven blueprints,scrapping the emergencyroom and adding several de-partments not originallybuilt-in. These new facilitiesdo not require state ap-proval, Freda stated, andshould make up for the lostemergency room.

“In my perspective, if youlook at this in terms of addi-tions and subtractions, ofcourse one thing we are notgetting is the emergency

room,” Freda said. “Butthere are many services herewhich weren’t in the originalplans — the Smillow center,the inflammatory diseasecenter, the pharmacy aspectand the IT aspect. I see fouradditions and just one sub-traction.”

Moreover, YNHH officialsremain optimistic that Con-necticut could approve aNorth Haven emergencyroom in the future.

“Based on our experience,over the next couple of years,if there is an opportunity toexpand, such as an emer-gency room, we will look forthe state for that,” said VinPetrini, YNHH Vice-Presi-dent of Public Affairs. “We

will put programming on allfour floors there, but not allfour floors will be full. Thereis opportunity for more ex-pansion.”

Freda concurred. “Whenall this is up and running byJan. 1, 2013, we will then lookto apply for the emergencyroom aspect at the state lev-el,” the First Selectman said.“What we have done in themeantime is shift strategy tofocus in on everything thatwe could do without state ap-proval.”

Further medical develop-ment at Devine Street will ac-company YNHH. “The firstgirders are up for a 24,000-square-foot building overthere behind HealthtraxGym,” Freda said. “Cardiolo-gists are going in over there. Iexpect 25-30 jobs at that loca-tion. I’m looking at mid-to-late summer for the comple-tion of that project.”

Quinnipiac University’snearby satellite school onWashington Avenue alreadyoffers nursing and otherhealthcare classes. Town de-

cision-makers have dis-cussed potential construc-tion of graduate studenthousing in the neighborhood.“One goal here is to create anoverall medical epicenter inthat area,” Freda said. “Weare looking to link all theprojects.”

While no emergency room,the urgent/primary care cen-ter will treat certain every-day ailments. “This willrange from injury care tomanagement of all kids ofchronic conditions,” Fredasaid. “This aspect will eitherbe on a walk-in basis orthrough scheduled appoint-ments.”

Another newly plannedYNHH Devine Street depart-ment, the information tech-nology division, will offerstate-of-the-art digital health-care services. “This will in-clude an online medicalrecord system, which will al-low patients to access theirrecords, and will allowproviders to work with hospi-tals, and hospitals to workwith other hospitals,” Petrinisaid. “This way we won’t re-peat procedures and process-es. We will also have My-

Chart, which patients can logonto from anywhere to seetest results, or get informa-tion on prescription medica-tions. This is very helpfuland very interactive.”

Petrini had good words forthe municipality which final-ly should receive YNHH’snewest branch location.“We’ve been encouraged bythe support in North Haven,”he said. “Michael Freda andhis entire team have beengreat partners in developingthis process. The support ofthe entire community hasbeen extraordinary.”

Column —‘Linsanity’

By Kyle Swartz

Hard to believe, but be-fore February the nameJeremy Lin meant nomore to us than any othername. Even ardent basket-ball fans who caught hisfirst few games as startingpoint guard for the NewYork Knicks couldn’t havepredicted the countrywidefascination to come for theHarvard-educated athleteof Taiwanese descent.However, all componentsconsidered, we should beunsurprised at the nation-al appeal of “Linsanity.”

On Feb. 4, Lin made hisfirst start. Behind stellarplay from their newfoundpoint guard, the Knicksreeled off a 7-0 run despitemissing superstarsCarmelo Anthony andAmare Stoudemire formuch of it. Lin set arecord by tallying 136points in his first fivestarts, breaking a recordheld by all-time great, for-mer-MVP ShaquilleO’Neal. Linsanity becamedifficult to miss, drawinginterest even from non-sports-fans. One reason ishow well Lin’s story fitsinto the ageless AmericanDream.

There’s something to besaid about capturing suc-cess in New York, NewYork, where the Knickscompete. “If I can make itthere, I’ll make it any-where,” crooned FrankSinatra. In few corners ofAmerica is professionalcompetition tougher thanin Manhattan, especiallyfor sports teams, who copewith enormous expecta-tions, a fanatical fan baseand an unforgiving media.Triumph here — in one ofAmerica’s oldest andmost-celebrated cities —and receive larger-than-life status. Lin’s out-of-nowhere achievement is

undeniably magnified byhis home court beingMadison Square Garden.

But Linsanity goes be-yond The Big Apple. Inthese days of worldwideeconomic instability, thecore American Dream toohas been shaken, the no-tion that anybody, if theywork hard and make sacri-fices, can turn goals intorealities. Lin is proofthat such scenario — oneof attainment throughselflessness and effort,which has defined the U.S.since inception — is stillvery much alive.

Two pro teams had cutLin this year alone beforeNew York grabbed him tobe a benchwarmer. Duringhis time as a Knicks non-starter, Lin slept on hisbrother’s couch. Not manyHarvard-educated, Asian-American basketball play-ers graduate into the NBA.In fact, before Lin, nonehave, establishing him as atrailblazer whose ambi-tion and work ethic al-lowed him to make history.But from televised inter-views you wouldn’t knowhis rare feats, due to hisconstant courtesy and hu-mility.

Of course, New Yorkwas also desperate for apoint guard, having noother quality players to fillthe important position.Regardless, Lin’s mete-oric rise to national famehas more to do with hisold-fashioned can-do atti-tude and modesty. There isnothing crazy about Lin-sanity — just the opposite.Everybody’s new favoriteKnickerbocker deservesattention, for here in thelimelight at a time of in-ternational economic tur-bulence is a true Ameri-can role model — kids,take note.

Roche switched goalies. Se-nior netminder MikeAmarone, playing in whatcould have been his lastgame, had seen only fourshots, but two of them foundthe net behind him. His re-placement was FreshmenAndrew Graziano, who com-pleted the game between thepipes with 22 saves.

The switch seemed to ig-nite the Indians, who wenton to score a pair of goals totie the score by the end ofthe first period. Senior co-captain John Johnson zippeda wrist shot past Lancergoalie Scott Kline to cut thedeficit to 2-1.

Clockwise, from left: Senior co-captain Mike Andreuc-ci celebrates the game-winning goal he just netted inovertime. Junior Karl Anderson (24) and senior co-captain John Johnson (23) put the squeeze on NotreDame’s Erik Laaksonen. Andreucci, again, scored theIndians’ fourth and fifth goals of the game.

We are thechampionsThe Warriors Mite B’s hockeyteam captured the 2011-2012Symth Division State Cham-pionship in South Windsor.After losing to host SouthWindsor in the preliminaryround, the Warriors cameback to defeat them in thechampionship game 3-2, fin-ishing the tournament with a4-1 record.

HockeyContinued from page 17

LaCroix lifted a nice shotpast Graziano in the top ofthe net to put the Lancersback in front 3-2.

With 3:06 left in the second,Indian Karl Anderson took apass in front of Notre Dame’snet and tried to jam it home.But Notre Dame’s Kline wasable to pin the puck and An-derson’s stick to the pad onhis left leg as he braced hismomentum with his left footagainst the pipe. At thispoint, the puck was on theline, but the rule is a puck hasto be completely over the lineto be called a goal. Luckily forthe Indians, a Notre Dame de-fender came along andshoved Anderson and Klineinto the net and separatedKline’s foot from the pipe.North Haven’s Chris Lionsaw this separation andsteamed in, sliding in a squatposition, and poked the puckthe rest of the way over theline to tie the score at threeapiece.

In the third period, seniorco-captian Mike Andreucciput North Haven in front forthe first time in this game, 4-3, when he took a pass fromDeMartin at three minutesand 25 seconds. The Lancerswould not go away, however,as Dave Canfarotta beatGraziano with a shot to tiethe game at 4-4 with 2 min-utes, 11 seconds remaining.

Thus, an extra periodwould decide this content.

Little additional time, how-ever, was necessary.

Just 1:48 into overtime,Andreucci picked up a loosepuck in the neutral zone andraced in and zipped the win-ning goal through the pads ofLancer goalie Scott Kline.

The win improved NorthHaven’s record to 10-11 over-all and advanced them intothe first round of the Divi-

sion I playoffs. Waiting forthem was the state’s top-ranked team Fairfield Prep,setting up a rematch ofNorth Haven’s close, exciting2-1 loss to the tough team ear-lier in the season. (The gamewas played Wednesday,March 7 at the Wonderland ofIce in Bridgeport, too latefor this issue’s publication.)
