Huntington Sports

The Shelton High boys soccer team dropped a 1-0 heart breaker to Amity on Oct. 26 in a contest that that eliminated it from the SCC tournament.

The Gaels didn’t let that affect them, as they closed out the regular season on a strong note shutting out Lyman Hall 3-0 on Oct. 28 and West Haven by a 4-0 margin on Oct. 30.

Shelton (11-5) will now have a full week to prepare for the upcoming Class LL state tournament.

In the Catbird Seat

Good news, folks. The governor’s office announced last week that the first 20,000 doses of the H1N1 flu vaccine have arrived in the state at last.

Not so fast! While the H1N1 flu (aka “swine flu,” aka “novel H1N1 influenza”, aka “that thing that’s going around”) spent the summer making people sick in the Southern hemisphere, it gave the usual fools in the United States time to decide that getting vaccinated for it is a bad idea.

Last week, a state representative told me that his oncologist told him not to get a flu shot, and he is now telling other people not to as well.
