The race to find a thief: Berlin police investigating after Torch Run signs were stolen
BERLIN, Conn. (WTNH) — Anticipation and excitement surround the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special Olympics each year in Berlin. Year after year, students line the route in front of their school to cheer on the officers. Annual Special Olympics Torch Run begins in Connecticut This year, there was also disappointment. The signs, which usually line Veterans Way, were stolen sometime between Monday when they were placed there, and Wednesday, when Mark DePinto, the officer who organizes Berlin's leg of the run, realized they were gone. 'He works very hard for this to come out perfect and that was like a setback to him,' Carmen DePinto, Mark's wife, said. It was too late to replace the signs before Thursday's torch run. The signs show the businesses and organizations which support the torch run and the Special Olympics. DePinto's daughter Christine is one of the athletes. On the day of the race, she rides in the truck which leads the police officers through town. 'She gets excited to be part of it every year,' DePinto said. 'She gets so excited she don't even want to go to her job.' 'It's just… it's hard to understand why somebody would pull those signs out and take them for a cause as good as the Special Olympics,' Berlin Deputy Police Chief Drew Gallupe said. Berlin police have launched a full investigation and say whoever is responsible will face larceny charges. 'We're reviewing video from surrounding businesses and we would ask anyone that has information or saw someone taking the signs or knows who took them if they would call us at the Berlin Police Department,' Gallupe said. Berlin police say there were about a half a dozen signs stolen from Veterans Way and because of that, those businesses and organizations didn't get the recognition they deserve for supporting this worthy cause. One of them was a local fire department. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Ultrarunner opens up about nursing baby before winning 100K race
An ultra-distance runner is opening up after winning a 100-kilometer race while nursing her infant daughter. Stephanie Case came in first in the women's field at the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia by Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc event, held between May 16 and 18 at Eryri National Park in the Snowdonia region of Wales. Along the way, she continually stopped to meet with her partner and nurse her daughter Pepper at three different aid stations. Case told ABC News it was like a "normal day" for her, but also acknowledged it wasn't an easy feat to switch from competition mode to nurture mode and then back again. "When you're out on the trail, you're in race mode, and the adrenaline is pumping and you're trying to move as quickly as possible over the trails. But as any mom out there will know, when you're breastfeeding, your kid can pick up on your own energy, so when I got into the aid station, I needed to try to forget that I was in a race," the 42-year-old Canadian said. Case, who has been ultrarunning for nearly 20 years, said she was easing back into running after giving birth in November and was treating the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia event, her first in nearly three years, as a warm-up race. She said she didn't even initially realize she had finished in first place among the female runners. "When I finished, I ran across the finish line, and I was so excited, because I felt like I'd had a strong day for me," Case said. "And then the race organizer said, 'Hold on, we're checking the chip times but we think you might have won.' And I was absolutely floored. I had to get them to repeat it multiple times." Case's victory was especially sweet and triumphant because she said she had a "challenging" pregnancy journey, which was marked by two miscarriages and multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization treatment. "Any new mom out there will know we are the best at multitasking," said Case. "This just added another layer of logistics … and I seem to manage them OK." Since her comeback victory, many have praised Case and said they're inspired by what she has been able to accomplish. "Wow - this is sooooo cool, well done! I am a mum of two (nearly 4 year old and a 6 month old) I've never really exercised, but I am determined to start running and this is just such a massive inspiration," wrote one Instagram user. "If you can do this I gotta be able to do my little couch to 5k, no matter how many weeks it takes. Find it so hard to make time for myself and get out." Case, who said she feels "pretty good" since the race, said she hopes to pass along that extra boost of motivation to other women, especially to moms-to-be and new moms like her. "They don't have to give up their passions and their dreams when they become a mom," said Case. "The things that make us happy and whole are the things that make us better parents." Case said she plans on racing again this summer, making her return to the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run, also known as the Hardrock 100.

Goodwill celebrates Special Olympics athletes in North Haven
NORTH HAVEN (WTNH) — Coming up this Friday are the opening ceremonies of the 2025 Connecticut Special Olympics. Some of the athletes taking part are clients of the Goodwill organization. Goodwill is celebrating those special athletes. John Cheesman is working his normal job on Wednesday at the Goodwill donation center in North Haven. Annual Special Olympics Torch Run begins in Connecticut 'I sort the clothes, give them to my co-workers if they're nice and clean,' Cheesman said. Goodwill is much more than just a place to donate your used clothes. They use the proceeds from selling your old things to provide all kinds of care and activities for folks like Cheesman with all kinds of levels of abilities. 'We come up with programs to keep them active, taking them out, just to keep them going,' Jmaela Douglas, a community activities specialist with Goodwill, said. On Wednesday, they are celebrating John and everyone else who will be showing off their skills at the Special Olympics this weekend. It's an empowering opportunity that helps people with intellectual disabilities on and off the field 'They get to show off their skills, but it's great camaraderie,' said Goodwill senior director of programs Brian Walsh. 'People that they work with, spend days with, live with, it's a great opportunity for them.' Cheesman is a veteran by now. He will be competing in three events. 'Softball throw, standing long jump, and 50-meter walk,' Cheesman said. While there might not be cheering crowds for John Cheesman, the clothes sorter, it's a different story for John Cheesman, the Special Olympian. 'Different people that go there say 'John, you did a good job!'' Cheesman said, adding hot it makes him feel. 'Very good, very good.' Over the next couple of days, you're going to see plenty of faces you know from News 8, like Laura Hutchinson, joining law enforcement officers in running the Special Olympics torch all over Connecticut.
