A North Haven resident for more than 30 years, Dillon was a police inspector assigned to an FBI fugitive Dillon task force in Connecticut when he discovered FBI agents falsifying affidavits and attributing that information to Dillon and two investigators he supervised. After realizing the mistakes were intentional and ongoing, Dillon reported his concerns to his boss, and subsequently was removed from the FBI fugitive task force, reassigned, demoted, harassed and threatened with termination. After filing a federal civil action against his employer, a jury trial followed involving testimony from renowned forensic scientist Dr. Henry

Lee, and the most famous police whistleblower of all time, former New York City detective Frank Serpico. Dillon earned a major courtroom victory and a landmark decision, but the retaliation continued. “If I come across as bitter at times during this account in ‘The Thin Blue Lie,’ it is because I still am,” Dillon said. “If you are like me, you may believe your honesty will be fairly received, only to learn you are now the problem. It did not go the way I expected. Not by a long shot.” See Book, A3

WEST HAVEN — The Sheehan TItans brought the fire and had their chances in Tuesday night’s CIAC Division II hockey semifinals against top-seeded North Haven. They just couldn’t get anything past Jared Anderson. North Haven’s senior goalie notched a 27save shutout to lead the Nighthawks past the No. 4 Titans, 2-0, in the second of Tuesday night’s D-II semis at Bennett Rink.

It was an 0-for-2 night for the Wallingford squads, who were looking to reprise their Division III state title clash of 2019. Instead, LH closed out at 19-6 and Sheehan at 18-6.

Nigro’s passion for music was evident in the classroom. “[H]e loved his job and he connected with his students,” former student Chrissy Turcio stated. Elvira Zawadowski said Nigro taught her four daughters “and we all loved him.”

Book

In Brief

From A1

”When I look back, I don’t regret my actions,” the author added, “but I do lament the consequences of the reactions to my actions. While sometimes brutally blunt, what is written is heartfelt and accurate. And that is the beauty of the truth: it was true 30 years ago, is still true, and will be 30 years from now.” Greg Dillon’s April 12 talk at the North Haven Library begins at 6:30 p.m. Registration is required.

Hockey From A2

Against North Haven, the Titans were hoping the third time would be the charm. Sheehan lost to the Nighthawks 2-1 in overtime during the regular season and 5-1 in the SCC/SWC Division II semifinals. Round 3 was up in the air until the closing minutes. Quick’s goal with 28.9 seconds left in the first period gave North Haven a 1-0 lead that went unchanged until Peterson capitalized on a deflected pass with 2:20 left in regulation.

Sheehan goalie Michael Fritz, only a sophomore, stood tall in the bright lights. He stopped 21 shots and denied North Haven on four power plays. Both he and Anderson were sharp from the get-go. Anderson stymied Anthony DeFilio on a breakaway. See Hockey, A9

Hockey From A8

North Haven, meanwhile, went on its first power play with 6:13 left in the period. Fritz and the Titans’ penalty kill unit of Brenden Hilinski, Jimmy Stratton, Andre Guy and Landon Cantele kept the Nighthawks at bay.

Elim Park Place welcomes you to enjoy an

In turn, the Titans went on the power play with 3:18 left in the frame. Sheehan’s top defensemen teed it up — Stratton had two shots, Hilinski had one. Anderson turned aside all three. The first period seemed destined to end scoreless until, with 28.9 seconds left, Quick got a shot off from the slot. The puck hit Fritz in the shoulder and ricocheted in for a 1-0 North Haven lead. The second period opened with both teams rejuvenated and throwing around some weight. At one point, North Haven’s Justin Pniewski lost his helmet. At another, play was temporarily halted when a shaken up Brian Joosjr was helped off the ice by his North Haven mates. The nets, though went untouched, and North Haven’s 1-0 lead held. With 6:27 left in the period, North Haven went on consecutive power plays on a pair of holding penalties. Fritz and Sheehan killed them both. That included Fritz denying one of North Haven’s leading scorers, senior Jack Hines, on two good looks from the slot. At the other end, DeFilio and his linemates nearly pushed one across off the final faceoff of the period. but Anderson, the SCC/SWC Division II goaltender of the year, preserved his shutout through two periods. The Titans kept up the attack in the third and Anderson continued to be a brick wall. DeFilio blistered a shot with 9:30 to go. See Hockey, A11

MONEY MATTERS

Spring clean your finances in 5 easy steps By Jeff Jolly

Spring is considered a good time to deep clean your home. But to really get your house in order, expand the tradition to include tidying your finances. Doing so can help alleviate stress and give you a sense of confidence. Here are five steps to help you organize and polish your financial life. Toss paper, secure passwords. It’s easy to get mired in paper, even in the electronic age. Pull out the shredder and dispose of old

bills and notices. If you store passwords on paper, consider moving them to a more secure password storage device for improved security. While you’re at it, change your passwords to reduce your risk of getting hacked. Assess your financial stability. Review your personal cash flow by preparing a summary of money coming in and money going out to pay bills, fund your lifestyle and handle emergencies during a set period of time. Calculate your assets and liabilities to get an estimate of your net worth. Watch for creeping living costs and look for opportunities to grow earnings, reduce debt,

slash spending and increase savings. Streamline cards, memberships. Use those gift cards accumulating in your wallet. Consider eliminating memberships that are not a good value. Close that old bank account if you no longer use it. Revisit rates for insurance policies, cable and phone contracts and other ongoing costs that may be renegotiated, bundled or improved by switching to a competitor. Touch up your estate plan. Update your will or trust to ensure it reflects your wishes. Confirm that your beneficiary designations are current, especially if there’s

been a divorce, birth or death in your family. Protect yourself further by assigning a power of attorney and creating a living will and advance directive according to your personal wishes and state requirements. Refresh your savings, investments. Make sure your emergency fund is sufficient to handle an unexpected setback. Check in on your retirement savings to determine if you’re still on track. If you’re earning more, consider saving more. Make saving automatic with each paycheck. If you have a 401(k) with a former employer, a rollover may offer more investment options and reduce your fees.

Anderson stuffed it, however.

We’re hiring Police work is constantly changing and evolving. At the North Haven Police Department, we’re committed to serving our community and adapting to the changing needs of our residents, stakeholders, and businesses.

Today members of the North Haven Police Department are conducting radar enforcement to promote traffic safety, while our officers assigned to the South-Central Regional SWAT team are conducting monthly training.

Sheehan lost two valuable minutes to yet another penalty kill. Fritz and the Titans got the job done for a fourth time, but less than five minutes remained by the time Sheehan returned to even strength.

Spring is a great time to meet with your financial advisor for your annual review and to refine your financial plan based on evolving life goals and circumstances.

With 3:34 left, Sheehan coach Dave Festa called a timeout to regroup his guys for the final push for the equalizer. Sheehan’s Jimmy Stratton looks up ice for an open teammate during Tuesday night’s CIAC Division II hockey semifinal against North Haven. Aaron Flaum, Record-Journal

The Titans pulled Fritz for a sixth skater, but never could dent the cage. Anderson had

Instead, North Haven got a crucial insurance goal off a deflected pass. Petersen chased it down and, with no one between him and Fritz, slid it through the 5-hole with 2:20 to play.
