Two East Haven lifeguards made a life-saving rescue just after 12.30 pm on August 31st at the East Haven Town Beach. Steven Golembieski and Louis Pane Jr rescued a beachgoer from Shelton Connecticut.

The young man was in waters above his head and due to the strong current, was unable to swim back in and actually went under at one point. The beach supervisor called 9-1-1 which resulted in response from the Police Department, Fire EMT and AMR Ambulance. Fortunately medical attention was not necessary.

Mayor Maturo presented each with a "Certificate of Recognition" on Monday Sept. 21.
