At Quinnipiac River Park in Fair Haven, Orquesta Espada was heading into the last song of its set. The Caseus truck had run out of supplies to make sandwiches and was packing it in, while the ¡Ay Arepa! truck was still going strong. Chatham Square resident and community organizer Lee Cruz ran back and forth through the crowd of hundreds, from the stage to make announcements to the registration table, where families were still coming. And along Front Street bordering the park, the sharp-eyed could detect a string of new badges fixed to some of the street signs — a string that loops 5.8 miles through Fair Haven in a system of urban trails representing the culmination of a long, community-driven effort.
Lee Cruz’s gastronomic tour of Fair Haven was filled with wonders, and one regret: No one touched that last spoonful of Peruvian Chinese rice with chicken.

A cop chasing an apparent runaway driver survived a telephone pole crashing onto his cruiser early Wednesday morning — then rushed out to save the fleeing driver just before the driver’s car burst into flames.
