HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Nighthawks improve to 2-1 with rout By Ellis Santoro Special to the Record-Journal
NORTH HAVEN — Aready losing 350, Platt ran the ball into the red zone only to see a wall Nighthawks 49 of North Haven dePanthers 0 fenders and zeros on the clock Friday, Sept. 23. A simple tackle would have ended the half right there.
Instead, the ball carrier fumbled and North Haven's Nicholas Harkins ran the ball 80 yards the other direction for the defensive touchdown. The half ended 42-0 and not much changed after that in this CT High School Football Alliance game between the visiting Panthers of the CCC and the Nighthawks of the SCC. North Haven finished off a 490 victory that puts the Nighthawks at 2-1 and Platt at 1-2.
It was about as lopsided as it could get from the start. Platt started with the ball and went 3-and-out, punted and the Nighthawks drove down the field to reach the end zone, as they would on each of their first six drives, plus the one score just before half on defense. “We came out with a lot of energy,” said North Haven head coach Tony Sagnella. “It really was a little touch-

and-go in the beginning. They were winning some snaps; we were winning some snaps. But as the half went on, we started to gain a little bit of momentum.”
Since the beginning of the year, Michele Ziemba-Bolduc and her husband, Dave Bolduc, have been busy making dog treats with no sugar or added preservatives.
Recently, the couple announced they were teaming up with Sylvia Cicarelli of Sylvia’s Confection Connection. Now, when dog owners stop by the Washington Avenue bakery, they can pick up something sweet for their pups, as well.
The North Haven residents’ enterprise is called Fine Fettle Pets.
Michele Ziemba-Bolduc, a special education teacher in Hamden,
said the inspiration for Fine Fettle Pets started in her classroom. When COVID hit, Michele said baking was restricted in school. But she still wanted to teach her students some kitchen skills. “I have three dogs at home, and I thought, why not make dog treats,” Michele said. See Treats, A2
In a recent social media post, the North Haven Police Department said it is now "live-streaming 911 emergency calls directly to officers in the field in real time. Officers can now hear the caller’s actual words and voice providing the sense of urgency, small details, that may not be otherwise provided, and immediate updates on the situation and location. The officer not only hears the incoming emergency, but also the caller’s location is immediately identified on a map." This technology, developed by HigherGround, Inc., is called “Live911.” The NHPD said it is the first agency in Connecticut to implement this program. "Live911 closes the 911-time gap between police call-taker to First Responders by allowing officers to immediately hear incoming 911 emergency calls in their geographical area. See Police, A2
