SHELTON, CT — A former Mohegan Elementary School music teacher accused of throwing books that hit two students in a class last year was recently charged by police and is scheduled to appear in court next week, according to court documents.

Laura Heckmann, 39, of New Fairfield, was arrested by Shelton police on Jan. 11. She is charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of risk of injury to a child, according to the state Judicial Branch.

According to an arrest warrant application obtained by Patch, the Shelton Police Department launched an investigation after a parent of a 9-year-old Mohegan School student reported the incident to police on March 28.

The parent told an officer Heckmann threw a music book at the child in school earlier that day and the book struck the child in the face, according to police.

An officer also spoke with the child, who confirmed their parent’s account of the incident. The child also said Heckmann “was normally upset and yelling at the kids in the classroom” and had “yelled swear words at students,” according to police.

The child noted being hit by the music book “hurt a little bit” but the child was not injured as a result of the incident, according to the warrant. An officer confirmed the child had no visible injuries, according to police.

The child told police they also saw Heckmann throw a music book at another student in the class that day, according to police. The child said the book hit the second student in the chest, causing that student to cry, according to police.

Speaking to police through an interpreter, a parent of the second student said their child confirmed Heckmann threw a music book and hit them in the chest, documents state. The parent also noted the child was “okay,…

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — With two minutes left in the third quarter Tuesday, the ECC Division II boys basketball tournament championship was anybody’s game.

Wheeler and Stonington were tied at 39. The action was tight, with no team leading by more than six. A Mohegan Sun Arena crowd of 3,000 — seemingly all of Wheeler’s 233 students and half of North Stonington’s 5,100 population — deliriously cheered and expected a fantastic finish.

Wheeler, however, was determined that this would not go down to the final minutes. The Lions essentially finished it in 120 seconds, closing out the third with a 13-2 run to lead 52-41 after three and turn the fourth quarter into a coronation of Wheeler basketball and second-year coach Stephen Bailey.

The little school from North Stonington, never a factor in the ECC postseason mix, shined on the biggest stage with a 65-51 victory for the Lions’ first ECC tournament championship in Bailey’s second year as coach.

“We just played Wheeler basketball: get a stop, rebound, get on the break, run our sets and score, get another stop and repeat,” Bailey said. “After we got up by 11, I talked to the team before the fourth quarter and said, ‘You deserve to be in this spot. Let’s finish this off make history and do something you’ll remember the rest of your lives.'”

Wheeler (17-6) was building to this point with four senior starters who made the state tournament as sophomores under former coach Neil Cobleigh and amped up to 17-win teams and ECC Division IV regular season titles the last two years for Bailey, a Stonington…

WATERFORD — Perhaps not since the British attacked Stonington in 1812 will there be a more significant “Battle of Stonington” than what will take place Tuesday.

Wheeler and Stonington will not only battle for area boys basketball bragging rights, the neighboring schools will vie for the Eastern Connecticut Conference Tournament Division II championship at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Wheeler, the ECC’s Division IV champ, and Stonington, the top seed and Division III runner-up, both advanced Saturday with strenuous semifinal victories at Waterford.

The Lions (16-6) topped ECC D-III champ Griswold, 58-53, and Stonington (16-6) outlasted No. 5 seed Tourtellotte, 76-64.

Wheeler will make its first ECC final appearance while Stonington makes its third and second in the last three season since winning in 2022.

From years playing summer pickup games at Ocean Community to North Stonington Recreation Courts to Stonington High and Como courts, this is the matchup both teams wanted.

“I love this,” said Stonington’s Robbie Scavello said. “We wouldn’t want to play anyone else. We know them. They beat us at Wheeler last year and we edged them in overtime at our place. Tuesday will be the big one.”

Many ECC pundits labeled Griswold the favorite to win Division II after the Wolverines, who won the tourney last year with a senior-stocked squad, swept Stonington in the regular season despite losing a close game to Wheeler.

Wheeler got the upper-hand early, taking a 16-4 lead after one quarter, rising to a 22-4 lead on a steal and layup by Lion guard Keith Zardies.

“Wheeler is a tough matchup for us,” Griswold coach Rob Mileski said. “All of their…

BOXSCORE

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins ended their weekend by defeating the Bridgeport Islanders, 4-1, on Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.

Taking to the ice on Military Appreciation Night presented by MetLife, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (27-18-7-1) raced out of the gates with two early goals from Jonathan Gruden and Jagger Joshua. Stellar goaltending from Magnus Hellberg paved the rest of the way to a Penguins win.

Gruden and Joshua scored 48 seconds apart in the opening three minutes of the game, setting up the Penguins up with a 2-0 lead. Gruden batted a puck out of mid-air at the side of Jakub Škarek’s net 2:03 into the game. Joshua’s work around the net-mouth allowed him to snag a greasy goal shortly after.

The Islanders appeared to earn a power-play goal right before the buzzer at the end of the first, but a video review proved otherwise. The clock had run down to 0.0 before the puck crossed the goal line, keeping the Penguins’ 2-0 lead intact.

Hellberg thwarted a second-period penalty shot attempt by Julien Gauthier, catching a piece of the puck off his blocker before Gauthier’s bid struck the post.

Karson Kuhlman cut the Penguins’ lead to one four minutes into the third, but Wilkes-Barre/Scranton reestablished its two-goal edge 27 seconds later. Dmitri Samorukov banked a shot off an Islanders’ defender and into the net, making it 2-1.

After two successful penalty kills by the Penguins, an empty netter from Matt Filipe sealed the victory.

Hellberg totaled 31 saves on 32 shots. Škarek stopped 26 of the 29 bids thrown his way.

The Penguins will be back in action on Friday, Mar. 1, when they host the Charlotte Checkers for the first of back-to-back games at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. Friday’s game…
