It’s Burn Awareness Week As a part of Burn Awareness Week, Chief Paul Januszewski and the North Haven Fire Department would like to remind residents of safety tips and precautions in hopes of preventing burn-related injuries. The North Haven hockey team battles Hall-Southington in this 2018 photo. This winter, the North Haven icemen are one of the favorites to claim the SCC/SWC Division II title.
Hockey teams set to do battle in amped-up SCC/SWC Division II NORTHFORD — It will be one of Connecticut’s most closely watched high school hockey divisions over the next seven weeks, deservedly so and by default. SCC/SWC Division II, middle tier of the hockey alliance between the Southern Connecticut and South-West conferences, looms an 11team hornet’s nest for 2021. Not only is D-II buzzing with backyard rivalries, seven of the 11 teams are calling the
Northford Ice Pavilion home this season. Under the microscope and under one roof: There will be no mysteries this season, save for who emerges as division champ at the end of the line. Reigning conference king Branford, the 2019 Division II state champ, is in the mix. So is Daniel Hand, the only Division II team ranked in GameTime CT’s preseason
state poll. Cheshire has long been a DII mainstay. Lyman Hall was promoted after winning the state Division III title in 2019. Sheehan, abounding in talent, chose to move up this season. Amity, North Branford, North Haven, Guilford, Watertown-Pomperaug and the East Haven Co-op round out the card. See Hockey, A2
Harris returns to lead NHHS fencing program In a Friday, Feb. 5 press release, the North Haven High School Athletic Department announced the appointment of James Harris as the new head coach for the NHHS fencing program.
Harris, a two-time monogram winner and former captain of the University of Notre Dame fencing team, took over as head coach at North Haven High School in 2001. During his seven-year stint with the
Indian fencers, North Haven student-athletes earned 22 AllState awards, five team championships, two individual titles and three runner-up finishes. See Fencing, A2
Burn Awareness Week, organized by the American Burn Association (ABA), began this year on Sunday, Feb. 7 and ends on Saturday, Feb. 13. This annual campaign serves as an opportunity for fire educators to share common burn awareness and prevention messages to their communities. The ABA estimates that each year, approximately 400,000 people receive medical care for treatment of burn injuries in the U.S. The theme of Burn Awareness Week 2021 is “Electrical Safety from Amps to Zap (A to Z)!” in an effort to remind people of the potential risks from unprotected outlets, improperly used extension cords and other electrical hazards.
“While extension cords may seem harmless, if not used correctly they can potentially cause injury,” Januszewski said. “We want to ensure that our residents use their appliances with caution and care, especially when working with extension cords and power strips.” The North Haven Fire Department share the following electrical safety tips provided by the ABA: Major appliances should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips. Only one heat-producing appliance should be plugged into an outlet at a time. Before use, always check cords for cracks or frayed sockets, loose or bare wire and loose connections. Never use electrical cords that are broken or frayed. Extension cords should be rated for extended use. Never use an indoor extension cord outdoors. See Burn, A2

Never plug a generator directly into a household outlet. Hire a qualified electrician to install a transfer switch for emergency generator use. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems should be inspected annually by a qualified service professional to check for any electrical problems.

After a 12-game regular season, every team will advance to the division championship tournament.

If you see a downed power line, stay back at least 20 feet and call 911. Circuit breakers that are frequently tripped are a sign that the circuit can’t handle the demand for power. If this occurs, move appliances to other circuits or have an electrician check your household system. If you notice unusually

We’re not having a state tournament, but if you end up winning SCC Division II, it’s pretty much guaranteed you’re one of the best teams in the state.” Cheshire is one of the few SCC/SWC Division II teams not based out of Northford Ice Pavilion this season. With their usual home digs at Wesleyan University not available due to the pandemic, the Rams relocated to Hamden’s Lou Astorinio Rink.

Over the past month, I have heard from many constituents who are employed by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) who are both frustrated and concerned that they have not already been considered eligible for the vaccine. Most medical first responders and healthcare workers were already vaccinated in Phase 1A, and frontline essential workers will be included in Phase 1B. When that happens, I strongly urge that DCF workers also be included as frontline essential workers since they are required to enter homes and hospitals as a core function of their job.

After reaching out to the governor's office directly regarding this issue, I am still waiting to hear back with definitive answers. Similar-

He predicted everyone in the age group could receive at least one vaccine in four weeks. “Our only limiting factor is the number of vaccines that we’re getting,” said Lamont. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “People with COVID-19 can have mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms can appear two to 14 days after being exposed to the virus. Symptoms can include: cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever or chills, muscle or body aches, sore throat, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose or stuffy nose, fatigue, and recent loss of taste or smell.”
“I’d like to think that we’ll be able to move through the 65 and above population relatively quickly,” Gov. Ned Lamont said Monday, noting that some of those people may already have been vaccinated because they live in

Presented to EEI member companies, Emergency Response Awards recognize recovery and assistance efforts of electric companies following service disruptions caused by extreme weather or other natural events. The winners were chosen by a panel of judges following an international nomination process, and the awards were presented during EEI’s virtual Winter Board and Chief Executives Meeting on Jan. 14. The organization presented UI with an Emergency Response Award for its restora-
tion effort following Tropical Storm Isaias in August of 2020. Two of UI’s Avangrid Networks sister companies, Central Maine Power and New York State Electric and Gas, received similar awards. “Over the past year, many of our nation’s electric companies and their customers have endured historic storms and wildfires and other significant weather-related events” said EEI President Tom Kuhn. “Working around the clock to restore power safely and quickly to customers and deploying mutual assistance crews to support impacted companies are hallmarks of the electric power industry. When disasters strike, impacted and neighboring electric companies are quick to assess damage and to re-
spond and assist with restoration. “I congratulate and applaud UI for demonstrating continued commitment to the customers and to the communities it serves. In the midst of a global pandemic and often in the most hazardous of conditions, UI and its frontline employees worked around-the-clock to restore service safely and quickly. UI is exceptionally deserving of this prestigious award.” “This award testifies to the preparation and hard work of field crews and support personnel across our organization,” said Frank Reynolds, president and CEO of United Illuminating, Southern Connecticut Gas and Connecticut Natural Gas. “When we See Award, A10

RELOCATING TO THE SUBURBS DURING COVID-19? YOU ASK WE ANSWER:
Our new reality during the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted in a myriad of ways: From distance learning and working from home to a premium value placed on living space, life under the coronavirus is shaping our present and helping to determine our future. With so many variables at play, it’s not surprising that many of us are considering options to make our lives more manageable and enjoyable—and why we’re seeing an influx of city dwellers seeking a new life in the suburbs of Connecticut. Whether you’re in search of more square footage, a yard or a general lifestyle overhaul, we’ve got tips on what you need to know about safely relocating to the suburbs during COVID-19. Read on for more.
CONSIDER YOUR TOP 5 NON-NEGOTIABLE HOUSE FEATURES
According to REALTOR© Magazine, “nearly a third of Americans are considering moving to less densely populated areas due to the coronavirus.” And Antonio Liguori, president of Calcagni Real Estate, agrees. He believes, as he told Connecticut Builder, that “Gen Y millennials age 25-39, who loved apartment living, are going to start moving out of dense rental communities and purchase homes.” If you’re now looking to make a move from the city to a more spacious home in
the Connecticut suburbs, having a plan for the type of home you’ll purchase can make an overwhelming task feel much more sane and streamlined.
There’s no doubt that a move from an apartment in a crowded city to a quiet home on a suburban street will take some getting used to, but having a vision for your new life will help you communicate with your REALTOR© so they can help find you the right home in the location that best suits your personality and lifestyle. If you’re someone who loves to drive, for instance, buying a home that’s tucked away from the closest retail hub or grocery stores may be appealing to you; you may welcome the time it takes to drive from one destination to another. Those city dwellers who prefer walking to the best restaurant in their neighborhood may need to feel more connected to their new town’s center. If your company has an indefinite work-from-home policy in place or they’ve decided to shutter their office permanently, having a dedicated work space may be at the top of your must-have list. Ditto for those with children or pets who are seeking a yard; does it need to be a sprawling lawn, or will a smaller, fenced-in yard work best for you and your family? Consider your top five non-negotiable house features, and relay them to your REALTOR©. This will help
them narrow down the houses that not only best suit your budget and family life, but will make settling in to your new life that much more seamless.
MAKE SURE YOU’RE PRE-APPROVED
With so many homebuyers looking to make the change to suburban living, the housing market has been busy, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of increased demand, it’s a good idea to get pre-approved for your mortgage so when you find a house you love, you’re ready to make an offer. There’s nothing more heartbreaking than falling in love with a house, only to discover the finances don’t make sense. Additionally, according to Connecticut Magazine, “a lender will be able to tell you whether you can afford a specific home and give you, your agent and the seller peace of mind.” Lenders will also be able to help you decide what makes sense financially in these uncertain economic times, including what to budget should you or a loved one get laid off. Lastly, keep in mind that during COVID-19, both buyer’s and seller’s agents may restrict in-person showings to only those who are pre-qualified. Once you have your pre-approval, your local REALTOR© can tailor your search, ensuring the houses you see make sense for you now—which leads to much less stress along the way, for everyone involved.
When you’re ready for a fresh perspective.
New home or a new to you home.

CONSIDER YOUR NEW COMMUNITY IN ITS ENTIRETY
While your list of top features in your dream house is an important part of your real estate profile, researching the community where it’s located is a must. For many buyers, school rankings can be an important consideration, but knowing how the school district has evolved over the last decade or so can give you a more comprehensive understanding of the town’s resources, how they’re allocated and what the district’s priorities are. If you do have young children, take into account what childcare will look like, because even if you’re telecommuting during the pandemic, you may need childcare to make sure you can get your work done. And don’t forget to look forward: When the coronavirus pandemic begins to ebb, what will your life look like in your new community? Does it have a history of town-wide events you’ll enjoy? Does the neighborhood have an active block association? Are there families nearby for your children to play with? Wherever you decide to trade your city life in for a suburban one, your REALTOR© can help you navigate this major life shift, providing you with a 360 degree view of the best place for you to begin anew—and that will make all the difference in making your new house feel like home.

Restaurants respond to curfew update Local owners and managers had mixed reactions to the governor’s decision to relax the curfew on restaurants. On Monday, Feb. 1 Gov. Ned Lamont announced he would be relaxing coronavirus restrictions for restaurants, extending the current 9:30 p.m. curfew to 11 p.m. Citing a downward trend in the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths and an increase in vaccinations, Lamont said he thinks as long as everyone is cautious, the new curfew will help the state get back to normal. “Our (COVID) rates are down, it allows us to do it,” Lamont said in his Feb. 1 daily COVID briefing. “I

plemental Nutrition Assistance benefits to more than half of SNAP-eligible households in the state. To date, more than $197 million in emergency food benefits have been disbursed over the past 10 months to Connecticut households. The extra food benefits, authorized by the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020, will be provided to households not currently receiving the maximum level of benefits allowed for the size. This now means all households enrolled in SNAP will receive the maximum food benefit. The average emergency benefit on Feb. 18 will be $155.77. Meanwhile, there have been 869 confirmed and probable cases of COVID in Connecticut since Monday and 16 COVID-associated deaths, for a total of 7,298. The number of hospitalizations increased by 11 to 826. New Haven County has the largest number of people hospitalized, at 272.
Tuesday, Feb. 2 was the first night the restaurant would be able to stay open until 11 and Norton was optimistic.
Before the pandemic, Archie Moore’s in Wallingford was normally a place for other restaurant employees to go for food and drinks after their shifts ended. The 9:30 curfew changed that, according to manager Paul Norton.
“Customers are still tentative about coming out, but I think the extra hour will definitely help us,” Norton said.
“It affected us pretty strongly,” he said. “We had a decent amount of revenue between 9:30 and midnight. We were down about 15-20 percent because of it.”
Other restaurants like Gaetano’s Tavern on Main are not completely sure they want to be open later.
order food after 9-9:30 p.m.” The only benefit of the extended curfew will be not having to tell customers to
leave right at 9:30, Milot added. She isn’t sure Gaetano’s will stay open until 11 p.m., but likes that restaurants now have the option.

“The 9:30 curfew was working well for us,” said Cheryl Milot, co-owner of the Wallingford eatery. “Whether it will be worth it or not, I don’t know. There aren’t many people coming out to
