Athletes shedding masks as tournaments begin Citizen report
Coming into alignment with the lifting of the state mask mandate, the CIAC, in consultation with its medical experts, will no longer require athletes to wear masks in competition starting Monday, Feb. 28.
Gov. Ned Lamont, in lifting the state mandate, has left it up to individual school districts to determine their own mask policies. In districts that continue to require masks, the CIAC “requests that consideration be given for allowing athletes to compete indoors without masks while wearing masks in all
non-competitive activities” such as sitting on the bench on in the locker room. Athletes are permitted to continue wearing masks while playing if they prefer.
all basketball players, hockey players and indoor track athletes to wear them at all times. (Previously, vaccinated athletes were not going to be required to wear them while playing.)
Just before Christmas, the CIAC updated its mask policy for the winter, requiring

10-year-old Valentina Quijano wants people to make a difference in a dog's life by rescuing – not shopping for –a best furry friend. Last year, the North Haven resident started fostering dogs for Where the Love Is, an animal rescue based in Hamden. She learned about training dogs on YouTube, and now makes videos of her own. So far, Valentina has prepared 10 dogs for adoption. She likes working with puppies especially, but enjoys older dogs too. When Valentina and her family take in a dog, the youngster teaches some basic commands. Sometimes she'll potty train, too. Her advice for trainers is to be nice, but strong.

Water spreads oil fires; and other kitchen safety tips In recognition of National Burn Awareness Week, which is observed each February, Chief Paul Januszewski and the North Haven Fire Department share the following kitchen safety tips provided by the National Fire Protection Association.
Cooking Stand by your pan when cooking. Do not leave food, grease or oils cooking on the stove unattended. Always wipe clean the stove, oven, and exhaust fan to prevent grease buildup.
fire. If your clothing catches fire, stop, drop and roll to put out flames. After cooking, check the kitchen to make sure all burners and other appliances are turned off.
Should a fire occur while you are cooking: Turn the heat off. Cover the pan with a lid or something like a cookie sheet. Leave it covered until the pan is cool. With the lid on and heat off, the fire should quickly put itself out. Do not use water. Water will cause the oil to
splatter and spread the fire, or scald you as it vaporizes. Never move the pot or carry it outside. The pot will be hot to handle and the contents may splash, causing a severe burn.
In the event of a fire, leave the building immediately and call 911. All fires and burns, regardless of size, should be reported to the fire department.
Designate an outside meeting place a safe distance from the home where everyone in your household should meet in the event of a fire.
Escape plan
According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States.
Never discharge a portable fire extinguisher into a grease fire. Put a lid on a grease fire to smother it, then turn off the heat. Baking soda will also work.
Create a home escape plan and make a map. Share that plan with all members of your household. Designate a minimum of two ways to get out of each room, if possible.
For fires inside an oven or microwave, keep the door closed, turn off the appliance, and call the fire department.
Teach children how they can escape should they need to get out of the home on their own.
Unattended cooking is the main cause of kitchen fires and almost two-thirds of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.
If you are simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly, and use a timer. Remain in the home while using the stove or oven. If you have to leave, turn the appliance off. Keep pot handles turned inward to prevent accidental spills of hot contents. Keep flammable objects such as potholders, towels, paper or plastic bags away from heating elements. Create a 3-foot “child-free zone” around the stove. Keep children and pets away from the stove while cooking to prevent burns and scalds. Avoid wearing loose-hanging clothing that can catch
