The North Haven Lions Club will be collecting diapers, wipes and pull-ups as well as incontinence and feminine products Saturday, March 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the North Haven Congregational Church, 28 Church St. New and opened packages will be accepted. Donated items will benefit The Diaper Bank of Connecticut. Located here in North Haven, The Diaper Bank provides items to families in need throughout the state. In addition, the Lions will continue our collection of non-perishable canned and boxed items for local food banks. Items such as peanut butter and jelly, cold and hot cereals, mayonnaise, canned fruits and vegetables, soups and chili, broth, rice, pasta and sauce, canned chicken and tuna, coffee and tea, juice and nuts are always appreciated.
This is also a good time to drop off your no-longerneeded eyeglasses. Lions collect usable eyeglasses to support the Lions Recycle for Sight Program. We are also happy to accept blankets, towels and dog and cat food/treats for The Animal Haven in North Haven. The North Haven Leo Club is collecting clean bottles and cans with redemption value, and the proceeds will be donated to a charitable cause. The North Haven Lions Club has been serving the community since 1952. Concern for hunger, vision, the environment, childhood cancer and diabetes awareness are Lions Clubs International’s primary goals.

Man charged with making bomb threat to theater By Christian Metzger Record-Journal staff
An 18-year-old Wallingford resident was arrested on Friday, March 3 after police linked him to a bomb threat made to a theater in North Haven. Authorities responded to a call to the Cinemark Theater, 550 Universal Drive., at around 2 p.m., after receiving a threat about multiple bombs being placed inside the building that were apparently scheduled to go off during a 9 p.m. showing of “Creed III.” North Haven Police and the New Haven Police Hazardous Devices Unit were
called to the scene and the theater was evacuated. Authorities swept the building with bomb technicians and K-9 units present. Police managed to trace the call to Christian Cuomo, a Wallingford resident. Following an interview and subsequent evidence found that connected Cuomo to the incident, they took him into custody at the New Haven PD at around 7:30 p.m. The threat was determined to be a hoax and no bombs were found on the property. Cuomo was charged with breach of peace and falsely reporting an incident.
