Survivor Returns to Row For The Cure Survivor Returns to Row For The Cure Survivor Returns to Row For The Cure
Survivor Returns to Row For The Cure Janice Englesbe "celebrated" the three-year anniversary of the determination that she had breast cancer by helping other women beat it. Englesbe, of Rowayton, participated in Saturday's Row For The Cure at Veterans Memorial Park in an event sponsored by the Norwalk River Rowing Association. Englesbe went for a biopsy three years ago on Nov. 7, her birthday, to determine whether she had breast cancer. "At that point it was pretty advanced,'' Janice says. "I pretty much knew."

Montero Feels the Love at NYC Marathon Montero Feels the Love at NYC Marathon Montero Feels the Love at NYC Marathon
Montero Feels the Love at NYC Marathon Arturo Montero has run faster New York City Marathons. None, however, will be as memorable as Sunday's race for the 75-year-old Stamford runner, who was one of 127 runners in the first race in 1970. Montero finished in 4:47:49 and fourth in his age group. It is the highest he has placed in his age group in his 28 NYC Marathons. But for Montero, the best part was that his grandsons, Alex, 5, and Julian, 2, came to watch him run. They are the young boys of his sons, Mauricio and Gino. Montero, a native of Chile, also received support from fans who came to see the Chilean miner run in the mara…

Westhill Squeaks Past New Milford Westhill Squeaks Past New Milford Westhill Squeaks Past New Milford
Westhill Squeaks Past New Milford Other than winning, Westhill coach Dave Flower and goal scorer C.C. Figliuzzi-Bingham saw little to be happy about after Tuesday's 1-0 victory over New Milford in the first round of the Class LL girls soccer tournament. Bingham's unassisted tally with 7:36 left sent the Vikings into a second-round matchup against Cheshire on Thursday. The 10th-seeded Vikings (12-2-4) dominated the game, firing 30 shots to just two for 23rd-seeded New Milford (6-9-2). "We just weren't playing our game," Figliuzzi-Bingham said. "We just didn't play well. We were lucky to come out on top." Several factors cou…
