Flu shot clinic feels the pinch with vaccine shortage Eunice Murphy recieves her flu vaccination from RN Michelle Yamin at the North Haven senior center’s Oct. 16 flu shot clinic. Murphy was one of 70 people who registered for shots before the supply was exausted. “It was just a little sting,” Murphy said of the shot.

The organizers of the North Haven senior center’s Oct. 16 flu shot clinic had hoped to administer vaccines to hundreds of locals. Instead, they were able to dispense just 70 shots, due to the national shortage. “We were notified just four days ago that we would have a limited number of 70,” said senior center director Judy Amarone. “It’s nobody’s fault – it’s simply the nature of the beast of what’s going on.” The clinic was set up in the American Legion Post 76, the temporary location of the North Haven senior center. The clinic had been scheduled since August, Amarone said, but the shortage was a recent discovery. Amarone added that the knowledge of a shortage was not disseminated beyond those in charge. The director said that the short timeframe between her finding out and the clinic’s date had

not allowed effective mass publicity. Additionally, as the clinic was open to the entire public, Amarone feared that she would appear partial to the senior center if she leaked the information. “The flu shots are for the community,” Amarone said. “They are not just for the senior center. We didn’t want people who are regularly at the center to have priority. We wanted it to be fair.” Amarone was not surprised by the shortage of flu shots in North Haven. “I’ve heard through the grapevine that other flu clinics were basically forced to shut down because they didn’t have enough vaccinations,” she said. “I think everyone is running out,” Amarone added. “I’ve heard about it in the media – more people are getting flu shots this year because of H1N1.” It is important to note that the normal flu vaccination, the type administered last week, does not lower one’s

risk of contracting H1N1. Vaccines for H1N1 are still being produced and will be distributed nationally in the near future, with youths having priority. Generations born after 1950 are more at risk for the influenza. Those receiving a flu shot last Friday had to have arrived early. Although the clinic officially began at 12:30 p.m., early arrivers were allowed to pre-register and reserve a shot. Thankfully, despite the shortage of shots, Amarone believed that the clinic had turned away only eight or nine individuals seeking the vaccine. Additionally, during the clinic, Amarone called other flu shot clinic locations in an attempt to secure shots for those turned away in North Haven. She discovered that North Haven’s Target Pharmacy had also run out of shots, but found out that the Quinnipiac Valley Health District had remaining shots for their Oct. 21 See Flu shot, page 10

First Selectman candidates talk development at QCC debate By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen Incumbent First Selectman Janet McCarty and her challenger Michael Freda were seated in a conference room in front of an audience of several dozen for a debate hosted by the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 16. The debate focused on town finances and economic development. The candidates were allowed a short introduction before the moderator, Christine Mansfield, CEO of Discovery Training Services in Wallingford, asked them four questions. A coin flip decided that Freda would introduce himself and answer all QCC questions first. In his introduction, Freda said that his background in business, including 16 years as a CEO and president of several companies, would allow him to “identify with the business community.” He added that his economic goals would begin with growing top line revenue, and would include developing the Pratt and Whitney site and revitalizing businesses on Washington Avenue. McCarty said that her tenure as the town’s CEO “brought change to the government” in that “the town is stable, taxes are low, and the government is accessible to everyone.” She added that

during her term, the town ended the last fiscal year with a surplus and finished this year without a tax increase. Additionally, McCarty said that her future economic plans included elongating Valley Service Road. Although the candidates were previously informed of the agenda’s theme, they were unaware of its exact questions, according to QCC president Robin Wilson. Accordingly, the questions were handed out to the audience only after the debate had begun. First, the candidates were asked for three specific examples of how they would fund future budgets in light of increasing expenses, should they serve as first selectman. Freda answered that he would work to grow top line revenue, rejuvenate Washington Avenue, and utilize the first selectman position to “lead the charge for economic development to minimize the tax increase for the future.” Freda predicted future tax increases, as he believed that the use of onetime revenue sources in the current budget would leave a $5.5 million revenue gap in next year’s budget. McCarty agreed that growing the grand list was essential, and added that she

The police department will commence a strict enforcement campaign at the Peter’s Rock Park for the detection of illegal motorized vehicles.

First Selectman Janet M. McCarty has announced that beginning Monday, Nov. 2, North Haven’s Department of Public Works will once again kick-off it’s Fall Leaf Collection Program. “As many of the residents already know, this is one of North Haven’s most valued and successful Public Works programs provided,” McCarty stated. “Through Dec. 12, weather permitting, Public Works forces will be out collecting the many bags of leaves as well as loose piles of leaves left at the curbs by our residents. Residents may also drop bagged leaves at North Haven’s Recycling Center on Elm Street, Tuesday through Saturday.” McCarty added. The bulk leaf collection schedule for various town roadways will be posted on the town’s website at www.town. north-haven.ct.us, see “announcements.” To ensure the continued success of the program, the town has developed the following guidelines for residential leaf collection: Bulk leaves must be placed at the curb and not in the street or across sidewalks. Placing leaves in the streets is a violation of town ordinance Section 180-11. No plastic bags will be accepted. Leaves may be placed in brown biodegradable paper bags at the curb. Bagged leaves will be picked up on a separate schedule, one day after your normal refuse/recycling scheduled collection day. Bagged leaves must be left at the curb by 5 a.m. on the designated collection day. Bulk leaves are collected from residential properties Monday through Friday in accordance with the established schedule, weather permitting. In the event of a snow storm or other weather emergency, leaf collection will be tem-

porarily suspended. Leaves are collected in the fall only. Bulk leaves must be placed at the curb by 5 a.m. on the Monday of your street’s designated collection week. Avoid parking vehicles in the street during the collection period in your area. Do not park cars in or adjacent to any piles of leaves. Do not mix branches with bulk or paper-bagged leaves. Branches may be cut, bundled and tied for removal during normal refuse collection. To protect workers, the town may refuse service if branches are mixed with leaves in bulk or paper bagged. If leaves begin to blow around, the town suggests residents either wet the leaf piles or secure them with chicken wire or snow fencing. Do not allow leaves to accumulate in or around storm drains; this reduces the risk of flooding and protects the integrity of the town’s basin and storm water system. Schedules have been established to reflect the traditional volume of leaves in various areas. Higher volume areas are normally collected first. Weather permitting, Public Works may conduct a second collection in those areas with higher volumes of leaves. Residents may bring leaves year-round to the Recycling Center located on Elm Street. The Recycling Center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 to 11:45 a.m. Brown biodegradable paper bags of leaves may be left in the designated leaf disposal area. Leaves brought to the center in plastic bags must be emptied from the bags in the designated leaf disposal area. Residents should plan to use the center for leaf disposal during the spring as well as other times of the year when curbside collection is not offered. Bulk leaf collection schedule exceptions include Thursday and Friday, Nov. 26 and 27, collection dates. In these cases, all bagged leaves will be collected on Saturday, Nov. 28. Questions regarding fall leaf collection may be directed to the office of the Department of Public Works located at 5 Linsley St., or by calling (203) 239-5321, ext. 750.

Clerical employees embrace dedication, team work, community By Paul Colella Special to the Citizen

It has often been said that more is accomplished when people combine their talents and efforts by working together for a common goal, like serving their community. For the clerical employees employed by the town of North Haven, hard work, dedication, team work, commitment and a passion for their community are the vital qualities and talents they utilize in performing their various jobs. “The clerical union is made up of a great group of people who are energetic, dedicated, conscientious, and always willing to help each other and the people they serve,” said Jean Hatzopoulos, of the information technology department and president of the clerical union. “Every day is a surprise filled with challenges and rewards, and also a learning experience.” Hatzopoulos further explained that she grew up in a

small town with an appreciation for small-town living, and that is what attracted her and her husband to North Haven 12 years ago. She not only enjoys working in the information technology department at the Town Hall Annex, but she likes living in town and partaking of the town’s services. For example, Hatzopoulos goes swimming at the community pool on a

regular basis. Like Hatzopoulos, her coworker in the information technology department, Donna M. Spose, has a close connection and appreciation for North Haven, while at the same time serving the community through the work she does.

“I like my job,” Spose said. “It is dynamic, and technology is constantly changing. I welcome changes and learning new things. The people I work with are wonderful and have become my friends.” Spose explained that her husband Alan is a native of North Haven and a graduate

has recently joined the town’s police force, and they are active in the community. “I enjoy my job not only because of the people I work with, but I also have the opportunity to give back to my town,” Spose said. “My favorite people to assist are the seniors. Since they are temporarily at the American Legion Hall, I am able to stop by during my lunch time to see them and my good friend Joan’s mother.” Hatzopoulos and Spose are joined by two gentlemen, John Bimonte and Mike Zona, who also have a vested interest in North Haven, both personally and professionally. Bimonte grew up in town and lives here with his wife and three-year-old son. He has been employed for 14

years as the program coordinator for community services and recreation. “My job is filled with variety, and I work with people of all ages, from coordinating children’s activities and planning bus trips, to adult softball and other recreational activities,” Bimonte said. “Every day there is something different and exciting to do. I’m always learning about North Haven and the people I am pleased to serve.” Bimonte also added that he and his fellow clerical employees are always ready and willing to help and go the extra mile, even if it means putting in additional hours to see that things are followed through and completed to satisfaction. Good service, smiling faces, and a job well done are what people want and will remember, he added. “Teamwork is important to all our services,” Zona, a dispatcher for fire and police

I am proud to help the community that I live in.” She also expressed that all the people she works with are personable, upbeat, have great attitudes with a passion for their work, and they are all team players. Zilinski enjoys the challenges and rewards of her position, and she feels it’s a bonus to work and reside in North Haven. The clerical employees perform a variety of duties including paper work, trouble shooting, public relations, public safety, technology support, coordinating and implementing projects, programs and activities, mail distribution, answering phones, typing, filing, inventory, ordering, working with vendors, registration and scheduling. They work in 16 departments of the town including Animal Control, Assessor, Building/Land Use, Community Services and Recreation, Information Technology, Field Operations/Streets and Roads, Finance, Fire, Library, Police, Public Works, Senior Center, Switchboard, Tax and Town Clerk.

Annual holiday food drive collects goods for local families in need By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen The annual North Haven Holiday Food Drive was launched Oct. 16, with food collection bins placed inside North Haven Town Hall, businesses, and churches. The 2009 drive begun with the placement of a collection barrel in Town Hall by First Selectman Janet McCarty, Director of Community Services Gerardo Sorkin, and North Haven Congregational Church Senior Minister the Rev. Scott Morrow. The drive is sponsored by North Haven’s churches, and is held in conjunction with Town Hall’s food drive and other food collections. “It’s one of the wonderful things that the town’s churches do,” McCarty said. “The town does its own food drive that runs parallel with the churches’, and we work together. We try to see that as many people as possible can have a meal on Thanksgiving and Christmas.” The drive gathers non-perishable food items that are

delivered in boxes to North Haven families on Thanksgiving and Christmas, according to a drive press release. Local food pantries have been sapped by the recession, the press release adds, increasing the need for holiday donations. “We anticipate helping 80 to 90 families,” Morrow said. “The number was increased by the recession. In the past, we would expect to help 60 to 65 families.” On both holidays, each assisted family will receive two boxes of non-perishable food items, Morrow said, along with fresh produce and dairy items, and a frozen turkey. The holiday food drive has long been a North Haven institution. “The food drive was started by two firefighters more than 40 years ago,” Morrow said. “It’s become a tradition.” The founding firefighters continued the food drive out of the fire department headquarters until 15 years ago, according to Morrow. “People knew that the fire

headquarters never closed,” he said, “so they could drop off food at any time. The food was delivered to families by firefighters, particularly the volunteer firefighters. However, it became more difficult to do the drive in the fire headquarters, because they needed the space for other things.” Accordingly, the holiday food pantry was moved to the North Haven Congregational Church, 28 Church St. The drive then fell under the communal auspices of the town’s churches, who have continued the tradition. “The idea from the beginning was to provide for people in North Haven who, because of circumstances, would not be able to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas the same way that other townspeople were,” Morrow said. The minister added that because North Haven churches attract worshippers from outside town, the drive has been expanded to assist some non-residents. “But for the most part, we

try to keep focused on town residents,” Morrow said. Besides the collection bins, the drive is supported by many local businesses and organizations, Morrow said, including Town Hall, Arnold’s Jewelers, Candid Cleaners, Connex Credit Union, Mary’s Helper, Studio 8, Ron’s Barbershop, and Tobin Center, along with the North Haven public school system. The dairy products are processed through Tastebuds Deli, at 6 Church St., Morrow said. The cardboard for the boxes is provided by Connecticut Container Company, 445 Sackett Point Rd. “For years, the local Lions Club has provided the turkeys for the food drive,” Morrow added. “Its members are very generous.” On Nov. 14, local boy scouts will be collecting door

to door and accepting donations in the Congregational Church. Non-perishable items can be donated directly to the Congregational Church any weekday morning between 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Gift certificates and cash can also be made toward the purchase of perishable items. Food for Thanksgiving must be donated by Nov. 16. Christmas items must be donated by Dec. 14. Volunteers will prepare holiday boxes the day before families pick them up on Nov. 21 and Dec. 19. Morrow said that about one-third of the boxes are delivered by volunteers. In addition to the drive, the Congregational Church’s food pantry works in conjunction with the Town Hall pantry to assist those in need

Freda responded that he had spent a decade working with health insurance companies, and that it was “unheard of ” that a company would switch providers without alerting employees. He also disapproved that the switch was presented as no

change in service, as he believed it had changed Town Hall’s health services. McCarty restated that the she believed that the switch had saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, adding “and that’s what North Haven wanted to hear.” She added that she regretted that town employees were not better alerted beforehand. Additionally, McCarty said that the switch spawned few grievances.

job fairs for the unemployed. Board of Finance member and Freda’s campaign manager Richard Monico feared that the current budget was balanced with $4.5 million in one-time revenues and $1 million from Upjohn, funding that would not be available next year. He asked McCarty how she would replace the lost funds. McCarty reiterated her earlier statements that future grants, a continued lowering of the town’s expenses, and a dip in capital expenses would help cover any revenue gap. Additionally, McCarty pointed out that the town’s fund balance has been increased from 7.5 percent to 7.7 percent, which could provide safety. “That money is there if we need to use it,” she said, “although that’s not the plan.” QCC member Jeff Donofrio, owner of the Ciulla and Donofrio law firm in North Haven, asked each candidate how they would interact with small businesses. Donofrio also mentioned the recent absence of a North Haven “show and sell” business exposition. McCarty said that she would be interested in reinstating the “show and sell” program. She said that the exposition’s absence was due to the large amount of things she had to do to “get the town up and running” during her term as first selectman. Freda responded that he was also in favor of restoring the exposition. Additionally, he reiterated that he would form small business council districts, and seek business connections to fill vacant buildings. In rebuttal, McCarty said that the North Haven Economic Development Commission has already divided the town into business zones. As an example of the zones’ success, she said that when the former tenants of the Montowese Rite Aide plaza wanted to relocate within the same area, the commission was able to find new and nearby sites for most of the businesses. Freda said that he was pleased to hear of the commission’s success, but proposed that the role of economic development should “fall in the first selectman’s office.” Lastly, Mele asked why

would continue to seek grants and energy efficient options. McCarty also pointed out that the town has purchased many necessary capital items in the last few years that would not need to be repurchased in the future, freeing up funds. The second question asked how the candidates would seek future business relationships with the QCC. Freda said that he would like to work with the QCC in developing the Pratt and Whitney site and populating empty buildings on Washington Avenue. In light of the QCC’s makeup, Freda said that he would like to divide North Haven into small business districts, which he would meet with regularly. Additionally, he said that as the first selectman, he would act as a catalyst with the QCC in arranging meetings between the parties in an effort to revitalize the town’s empty business buildings. McCarty replied that she would pursue the QCC’s assistance in forming a North Haven economic development foundation. She also believed that the QCC could be of help in future “regionalization” projects. For example, McCarty cited North Haven’s participation in the Wallingford Project, a multiple-town trash collection contract that she said has saved money. Next, Mansfield asked each candidate what two specific issues they viewed as threats to the local economy. Freda answered that he feared the town lacked a solid relationship with its top grand list members. For example, Freda said that he was disappointed that when Covidien consolidated its Norwich branch, North Haven was not in a better position to take on the workers. Freda added that the same personable relationship must be formed with the town’s small businesses as with the top grand list members, as he believed that “they feed off of each other.” McCarty said that she believed that North Haven already has a strong relationship with its top grand list members. The original ques-

tion was led with the statement that North Haven was “not doing as poorly as other towns.” McCarty responded that she “was not as pessimistic as the question. I think we’re doing quite well,” she said. McCarty stated that North Haven did not receive Covidien’s workers because the town lacked an available 155,000 square foot building, as was required. Additionally, she said that she would continue to keep taxes low to avoid any future threats to local businesses. The final question focused on the threat that impending national health care reform could pose to North Haven’s two largest taxpayers, the healthcare-based businesses Anthem and Covidien. Freda said that he would stay close to the two grand list members so that together they could consult with health care experts on what affects reform would have on a local level. McCarty said that although healthcare reform “was certainly going to happen,” she did not see it as a threat to either company. “I don’t think the end result of this legislation would bankrupt any healthcare businesses,” she said. “It’s supposed to be set up to promote competition, and I think that both companies are willing to compete.” After the QCC questions portion, the floor was opened to the audience for a question-and-answer session. Michael Mele mentioned that several contracts Freda had unsuccessfully voted against during the candidate’s past term on the Board of Finance had since become “successful.” Freda wondered if Mele had taken into account the grievances filed by the town’s unions in response to the contracts. “I’d like to see the numbers when you factor in the litigation against the town,” he said. Christopher Peterson asked McCarty her strategy should another large business close in town, referencing the 2008 loss of the Quebecor plant. McCarty replied that her administration had successfully extended the former Quebecor workers’ ability to collect unemployment by three months. She added that she would continue to hold

year-round. The two pantries help maintain the stock of each other. Morrow said that people can utilize the church’s pantry once a month for food. Additionally, if the holiday food drive accumulates extra supplies, Morrow said, the surplus will be distributed to other local pantries and soup kitchens. The drive represents the circle of charity in North Haven. “Among the people who help us every year are people who have received food from us in the past,” Morrow said. The minister added that a gentleman once dragged a 50pound bag of potatoes into the church pantry. “He said, ‘every time this year, I have received food from you, but now I am able to help others,’” Morrow said. Those assisted are extremely thankful. “They’re very grateful,” Morrow said. “You have people who at this time of year are struggling to afford to heat their houses, pay their telephone bills, or are struggling with child care. Some are working and just can’t make ends meet.” And those whose donate to the drive are aware of its significance. “They recognize that it’s a wonderful thing,” Morrow said. “It’s a wonderful thing about this town that people in North Haven continue to be remarkably generous.” “People are just glad to help their neighbors,” Morrow said. The participating Town Hall officials are equally proud to continue the drive’s tradition. “It’s a great thing to have happening in town,” Sorkin said. “I’m very happy to be a part of it.” “It’s what makes North Haven a great place to live,” McCarty said.

Flu shot Continued from page 1

clinic. The North Haven clinic charged $38 for a flu shot. The clinic was hosted by VNA Services, a subsidiary of the St. Raphael Healthcare System. VNA Services has held similar clinics at the senior center in the past, including last year. Chris DeBisschop, VNA Services manager of community services and nurse liaison, said that 2009 was “the worst year ever” in terms of flu shot shortages. “This was not the first time I saw shots run out,” DeBisschop said. “I’ve seen it at multiple locations.” “A lot of doctors did not get their orders this year,” she added, “and people are visiting alternative locations.” DeBisschop said that VNA Services was compensating by allocating what little supply they had, targeting clinics that cater to the elderly and others more at risk for serious complications from the flu.

The 70 shots allocated to North Haven was not an arbitrary number. “We did 70 shots here last year,” DeBisschop said. DeBisschop hoped that the flu shot shortage would increase the public’s awareness of the vaccination’s importance. “I think this is great publicity for the importance of flu shots,” she said. “The media attention will make more people want it.” DeBisschop also believed the H1N1 influenza to be the driving force behind the escalated demand for flu vaccinations. “I think all of the press about H1N1has people thinking more about it,” she said, “although, this vaccine does not cover H1N1.” Even though the event was open to the public, the makeshift waiting room in the American Legion post was packed almost entirely with senior citizens. Sitting in the waiting room, Diana Sylvia of North Haven held a small, laminated card with the number “68” emblazoned on the front. She was fortunate to

have arrived and pre-registered earlier when only three shots were left. “I didn’t want to get the flu,” she said. “I make sure to get a shot every year. I got here early and I’m number 68. There are only 70 shots. I’m very lucky.” Clutching the “60” card, Richard Confrey said that he arrived a little after noon. “I get the shot every year,” he added. Her number having been called, Marion Kuntz rolled up her sleeve for the needle. “It didn’t hurt at all,” she said afterward. “I get it every year.” In just over 30 minutes, VNA Services registered nurse Michelle Yamin administered 69 shots. The last vaccination had been reserved earlier by First Selectman Janet McCarty, who had since returned to Town Hall. While waiting for McCarty to come back for her vaccination, Yamin commented on the shortage experienced by VNA Services. “We’ve had to prioritize,” Yamin said. “The flu shot has been in very high demand. We ran out quickly.

Don’t be left out in the cold!

We had one at our agency in Hamden earlier today with only 10 shots and 30 people looking for them.” “We had a lot of people to vaccinate today,” she added. “We had hoped to help several hundred, but we didn’t have the vaccine available.” Yamin too believed that media publicity of the flu and H1N1 has heightened demand for the shots. “It’s been more publicized,” she said. “People are more aware of how important it is.” Yamin added that as VNA Services receives more vaccinations, they will distribute them to the public. “As the vaccines come in, we will open more and more clinics,” she said. “The arrivals vary – we could get vaccines every day, once a week, or longer.” Several minutes later, McCarty returned from Town Hall and drew up her sleeve for the shot. “I figured I’d set a good example,” McCarty said after receiving the vaccination. “It’s good for other people to see us getting them, so that they get into the habit them-

selves.” With a Ph.D. in virology, McCarty was aware that the flu shot would not safeguard against H1N1, and that H1N1 is more deadly among youths. “It’s more important that older people get this shot than the H1N1 shot,” she said. “Older people have more natural immunity to H1N1.” McCarty said that the flu shot was not painful. “I’ve had mosquito bites hurt more,” she said with a laugh.

Pay attention to two-sided ballot

North Haven will be using a two-sided ballot for the first time. On Election Day, Nov. 3, in our polling districts you will see orange signs everywhere telling you to be sure to turn the ballot over and vote on both sides. This year there are 22 columns of offices on the municipal ballot. The large number of offices to be included on the ballot would not allow for a onesided ballot to be used for this election. At the polling districts, for your convenience, our ballot

clerks will provide you with a privacy folder so that your selections will not be seen as you carry your ballot to the ballot box. If you make a mistake in your voting selections — don’t worry! You can raise your hand and be escorted back to the ballot clerk. You will surrender the ballot with the error to the ballot clerk. The ballot clerk will “spoil” the old ballot so that it cannot be counted and issue you a new ballot for you to make your selections.

The North Haven Citizen Friday, October 23, 2009

If you have any questions, each polling district will have information personnel to assist you. Remember, Election Day is Nov. 3. The polling places will be opened from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Printed with this article is a sample of what this year’s ballot will look like (See ballot on page 20). If you have any questions the Registrars of Voters’ office phone number is (203) 239-5321, ext. 755. It is a pleasure to serve you.

PTA, Green Acres Elementary School, North Haven 1994 to 2007: Member, North Haven Democratic Town Committee 1991 to 1993: Judge for California State Science Fair Final Why should North Haven voters vote for you? I am the candidate with a proven record of accomplishment. Under my administration, the town finished last year with a surplus, and this year’s budget required no tax increase. We did this while improving services; restoring a team of teachers at the middle school, bringing paramedic service to our fire department, instituting curbside single-stream recycling, and establishing before and after daycare at the elementary schools. We successfully negotiated four labor union contracts — contracts that are fair to our employees and to the taxpayers. Before my term in office, residents and businesses faced years of increased taxes, even while services were cut, making North Haven less affordable and less attractive as a place to live, work, and run a business. Under my administration, we have started to reverse that trend. We saved the taxpayers millions of dollars by putting contracts out to competitive bid, winning more than $1,000,000 in state and federal funding, and taking common sense steps to eliminate waste, such as reducing energy usage in street lights, schools, and town buildings. Finally, I have kept my promise to the people to clean up the mess in town hall and make government work for all the people, not just the well-connected. What are your top priorities and how will you address them? My number one priority is to continue to bring open and honest government that works for all the people of North Haven. When I took office, I learned that the town had been run like a club, for the benefit of those in power. I have taken steps to professionalize government operations, but the work is not

Letters to the Editor Election letters policy In order to allow the largest number of citizens to express their opinions on the upcoming elections, we have a special election season letter policy.

No anonymous letters will be printed. Contributions by any individual or group will not be published more frequently than twice a month. Every effort will be made to print all letters received. However, the selection and date of publication will be at the discretion of the editor. Finally, the opinions expressed by our letter writers are not necessarily those of this newspaper. Deadline for letter submissions is Tuesday by noon for Friday’s publication. E-mail your letters to news@northhavencitizen.com.

Forum provided insight into Freda’s vision To the editor: I attended the forum that Mike Freda held to discuss North Haven’s economic development future. It was originally scheduled as a debate, but the incumbent first selectwoman refused to attend. It’s too bad that she couldn’t take the time to attend this forum and allow the public the opportunity to ask questions. I never heard of a political leader refusing to attend a debate. Isn’t this routine? Usually it is a good opportunity for both candidates to express their views about important issues. Mr. Freda performed a real public service. This was the first time that the voters were able to attend a debate forum and participate. Unfortunately, the usual debates are always scripted, the questions known in advance and held in a television studio, away from the public. The forum regarding economic development was wellorganized, and a respectful discussion was held. It was very interesting to hear about his vision and plans for the future of our town. Rose Ann Warden North Haven

A partisan defender To the editor: The so-called ethics expert, Robert Wechsler, whom we have not heard from since the last election, once again attempts to defend Janet McCarty. When he disagreed with the last administration only seeking town meeting approval of interdepartmental budget transfers over $20,000, Mr. Wechsler was very outspoken and called such policy illegal. When Ms. McCarty’s administration approved millions of dollars of transfers without any town meeting approval of even a single transfer, Mr. Wechsler remained silent and never brought the topic up. When the first selectman failed to recuse herself from a vote on whether the town should conduct an independent investigation into discrimination, retaliation and harassment allega-

tions made against her by her former executive assistant, Mr. Wechsler had no comment and apparently believes it is acceptable for the chief elected official to vote not to investigate herself. Mr. Wechsler reveals himself as a partisan defender of Janet McCarty when he states in his letter that, “I would not be writing except that this attempt to falsely make Ms. McCarty look bad is only the latest in a series of distortions, such as with the debates.” Apparently, Mr. Wechsler agrees that if Ms. McCarty took the time to debate Mr. Freda, she wouldn’t fare too well. Raymond E. Ciarleglio Sr. North Haven

Not so open government To the editor: I read with interest the biography of Walter Spader, who is a Democratic nominee for fire commissioner. While I am sure Mr. Spader is a nice man with a good background, what puzzles me is the secrecy of the Democratic Town Committee surrounding his nomination. Mr. Spader is an attorney and he is currently employed by the Marcus Law Firm. Ironically, no where in his biography for fire commission candidate does it mention his employer. The Marcus Law Firm is currently one of the many firms that represent the Town of North Haven on legal issues. It is also the same firm that overbilled the town by $3,500 and the bills were signed off by Janet McCarty. Now do you think it’s ironic that this information was left out of Mr. Spader’s biography? I find this to be a serious conflict of interest. How can a person who is employed by a law firm that represents the town be a candidate for a seat on a commission as visible as the fire commission? Why has the Democratic Town Committee not disclosed this information? Where is the town’s so-called ethics expert, Robert Wechsler, on this matter? Silent as he usually is when it comes to issues that may make Democrats look dishonest. And silly me, I thought ethics issues were neutral. If this is another example of Janet McCarty’s idea of

open and honest government, you are not fooling me. I am voting for Mike Freda. I have seen enough examples of Janet’s idea of transparent government that I can now see right through her. Gennaro Marino North Haven

McCarty hard at work To the editor: North Haven voters should be paying attention as the Nov. 3 election approaches to the benefits that Janet McCarty’s leadership has brought to Town Hall this year and last. Presumably everyone has taken note by now of how the first budget both prepared and executed by her administration succeeded in avoiding not only a tax but also cutbacks in what the town provides to our citizenry. An improvement in cost control that starts this month is what is called “singlestream recycling,” which will both be simpler for residents to participate in — because types of recyclable materials no longer have to be sorted — and reduce the cost of pick-up that we ultimately bear through our taxes. There is also a new six-part program, prepared by Selectman Steve Fontana at Janet McCarty’s request, to reduce the town’s electric-power costs by close to a half-million dollars a year: householders who have been hunting down light bulbs in their homes that can be replaced with the compact fluorescent ones, for instance, may share my horror at the thought of dealing with over 3,000 street lamps in town. But they should be pleased to know that there’s a way to have United Illuminating improve the efficiency of the bulbs on those poles, reducing their power consumption by 15 percent, and that is one of the six measures in the program. Janet McCarty and her team are hard at work watching out for North Haven taxpayers’ interests, and committed to hones, efficient government. We should keep them at work on that for another two years. G.R. Zempel North Haven

McCarty raised taxes

To the editor: Janet McCarty’s statement that she did not raise taxes is a complete mistruth! What about the sewer use tax? Now we know why it was separated from the budget. In 2007, the sewer use tax was $184. In 2008, it was raised to $208. Now it is $240. This is a 30.4 percent increase in the McCarty Administration. Jan Smith North Haven

Voting for McCarty

To the editor: Selectman McCarty has of course agreed to debate under the respected, neutral, format of the League of Women Voters. This debate has been taped and can be viewed on our local channel. When Mr. Freda asked Ms. McCarty to debate this fall, she said there were enough debates already. One offered no questions ahead of time to the candidates. So how could he claim to the papers and to the GOP North Haven High School meeting that she was reluctant to debate because of not knowing the questions beforehand? Why does Mr. Freda make such a foolish statement that everyone will know is incorrect? I will be voting for Janet McCarty, Steve Fontana, and the Democratic candidates, and I urge you to also. Letty McPhedran North Haven

‘Rancor’ is the currency of McCarty administration

To the editor: Over the years while I lived in North Haven on Buell Street, I served the town in many capacities, including chairman of the Board of Finance and a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Although I no longer live in North Haven, I grew up there, love the town, and am heartbroken to see what has been happening there in re-

Bogert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is an important thing to stress.â&#x20AC;? The haunted house began very differently a quarter of a century ago, Bogert said, as a simple Halloween gag for the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest worshipers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;close your eyes and stick your hand in this bowl of spaghettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come a long way.â&#x20AC;? Today, the haunted house encompasses over 14 rooms and mazes, with hundreds of props, lighting, and sound features, along with 25 to 30 actors roaming throughout. Bogert and fellow haunted house organizer Joe Tatta became interested in the annual event as children, when they belonged to the Faith United Methodist Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth group. Many years later, they have kept the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditions alive, including its theme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The storyline is that you have happened upon a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s castle, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not happy,â&#x20AC;? Bogert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trespassing and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to let you escape alive.â&#x20AC;? Accordingly, the haunted house takes visitors through multiple rooms inside and outside the masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s castle, including a dining room, tunnel of lights, crypt, guillotine room, crazy-clown room, cornstalk maze, and the mad scientistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laboratory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

chamber,â&#x20AC;? Bogert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new this year.â&#x20AC;? The skillfully crafted rooms are sectioned off with black veils and loaded with menacing props, including cobweb-laden skeletons, shape shifting paintings, and eerie creatures. The hallways between each room are narrow, winding, and offer extra scares. Unexpected surprises pop out from every corner. Strobe lights, fog machines, and noise machines complete the effects. Many of the rooms contain a skit, and they are changed annually for new thrills. The haunted house represents a lot of preparation, with construction beginning two weeks before opening night by volunteers from Faith United Methodist Church and Wallingfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church of the Resurrection. Bogert said that in return, his church helps Tatta and fellow members of the Church of the Resurrection with their spring play. Tatta said that the haunted house could not be possible without the construction efforts of his father Joe Sr., and Patrick Taylor, who doubles as the chainsaw-wielding lurker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve envisioned ideas and my father and Patrick make them happen,â&#x20AC;? Tatta said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they hate me for them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a big help,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without the two of them.â&#x20AC;? The Halloween party is organized by Faith United Methodist Church Sunday school superintendent Holly Piscatelli. The party will include Halloween activities such as food decorations, refreshments, paper crafts, fake tattoos, musical chairs, ring toss, and other games. Children are encouraged to come in their costumes. Bogert said that a haunted house tour will take approximately 20 minutes. Admission is $8 for the haunted house and Halloween party or $5 for just the party. All proceeds are split between the North Haven food pantry, the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth group mission fund, and the greater Faith United Methodist Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission

cent years. While the results of the last election were certainly understandable, I look at what has happened since then with nothing short of shock. The town’s unions, which generally had a constructive and respectful relationship with the people who ran the town, are now engaged in rancorous lawsuits. “Rancor” seems to be the first selectman’s fa-

vorite currency. Gone, it seems, are the days when the town managed its affairs through consensus, conciliation, and a broad view of the best interests of the community rather than a narrow view of who-gets-what. Traditionally, prickly or difficult personalities were left at the door when dealing with public matters. I know town budgets and I can see where the town’s finances are headed: a big tax increase next year as the surpluses that have disguised the impact of increased town

spending have been eaten up. The town once did a wonderful job on economic development, bringing jobs, prosperity, and low taxes to North Haven. This skill seems to have disappeared. Mike Freda is a careful, conscientious man, a man who understands fiscal realities. He knows what it takes to create jobs and opportunity because he has done it in his business. He has a thorough knowledge of the town government. He gets it and he listens. I think he can get the town back on track and

change the tone of how town business is now being done. Brian T. Allen Andover, Mass.

Politics comes first for Freda To the editor: Michael Freda has emphasized his business management experience and Janet McCarty’s lack of it, but Janet McCarty has turned out to be one helluva manager. Thrown right into budget time without a finance director, she put together a good, honest budget. With three of five department head positions empty, she put together an excellent management team, with only one unfortunate glitch. She brought in far more grants than the Republicans, bid out contracts, oversaw four successful labor negotiations, and was a leader in the very complex five-town waste disposal plant negotiations. How has Mr. Freda handled business-oriented decisions as a North Haven official? As a member of the Board of Finance, when Democratic members asked to discuss bidding out town contracts, Mr. Freda allowed the topic to be totally ignored. The forensic audit firm recommended by Mr. Freda wrote that, “Town assets were allegedly misappropriated using the following methods and schemes: … 10. The Town’s bidding requirements were not followed and/or cir-

cumvented…” Allowing town assets to be misappropriated is not good business. Mr. Freda handled this issue, not as a businessman who would insist on the best price for goods and services, but as a politician unwilling to stand up to members of his party. A Register editorial said of the 2007-08 Republican budget, “The budget numbers are as suspect as the people who put the figures together.” Mr. Freda’s public attack on those who criticized the budget did not show good business skills. It showed that politics comes first. Robert Wechsler North Haven

Work with, not against McCarty To the editor: Being lifelong residents of North Haven we appreciate the job McCarty and Fontana have done during these last two years, especially with the country being in such an economic crisis. There are certain people in town who seem to think McCarty hasn’t done anything right since she has been in office. If they worked with her instead of against her the town and everyone in it would be better off. Our votes go to McCarty and Fontana. Joan Pierpont Tenedine Frank Tenedine

done. In my next term, I will keep our town moving forward, continuing to reduce the overlap between town and education services, secure grants to supplement town funds, and build on infrastructure projects to attract business investment in our town, so we can reverse the decade-long downward trend in our commercial/industrial tax base. North Haven voters have a clear choice this November. My opponent wants to go back to the way the town was run before, when North Haven residents and busi-

nesses faced tax increases while services were cut, even when the economy was good. For the good of our town, let’s work together and continue on the path we have taken for the past two years, bringing common sense to government that works for everyone — squeezing value from every tax dollar while increasing services.

North Haven voters should consider voting for me be-

cause of the great deal of experience I have in managing and leading both organizations and people. I have a passion for growing our top line revenue in North Haven, a passion for helping our seniors, and my goals also include minimizing the tax burden for our citizens. North Haven can count on me to communicate through our town meeting form of government, deliver presentations to our residents and establish a high level of customer service from the first selectman’s office by responding quickly and returning phone calls. What are your top priorities and how will you address them? 1. Growing the top line revenue through business development with an emphasis on developing the Pratt & Whitney site. 2. Working collaboratively with our department heads and superintendent of schools to enhance a highly motivated work force. 3. Assisting our seniors to enhance their quality of life. 4. Minimizing the tax burden for the citizens of North Haven. 5. Establishing a high level of customer service to our residents from the first selectman’s office.

C o n t a c t : tim.doheny@comcast.net Why should North Haven voters vote for you? I have devoted seven years of service to the town of North Haven, three on the Economic Development Commission and four years as a member of the Board of Finance. Those years have given me insight into the needs of this town and the wants of its residents. I am fortunate to have two children in the school system and a wife who is both a former teacher and is actively involved as a volunteer in Clintonville School. Thus, I am keenly interested in maintaining the high quality of education North Haven is known for. I have 25 years experience in the banking industry. While that has prepared me for my current role on the Board of Finance, it has also taught me how to make well thought out, rational decisions, a skill I find sorely lacking in the current administration. The town of North Haven needs leadership on the Board of Selectmen, someone who is both willing to listen to town residents and is not afraid to voice his opinion. I believe I can provide both these ears and that voice for the residents of this town. What are your top priorities and how will you address them? I expect to work as a team with Mike Freda as First Selectman. Together we will bring effective leadership to the town, be it strategic, operational or crisis leadership. We will work together to spur economic growth consistent with the character of North Haven. Our grand list actually shrunk over the last two years. Growing the grand list will relieve the tax burden on residents and help to clean up the large number of blighted and vacant buildings in town. Mike and I intend to work closely with the police and fire services, especially the chiefs, keeping them apprised of developments in and seeking out their opinions on economic development, town finances and union negotiations. We intend on working closely with the Board of Education and superintendent. We will encourage the continued cooperation of town government and the school system, especially in exploring operational synergies be-

Election Continued from page 20 tween the two. We will work to foster an environment of mutual respect for town employees, while demanding a high level of customer service for our tax paying citizens. Lastly, this town will be facing a financial crisis in fiscal 2011 and together one of our first priorities will be to create a plan to deal with that crisis in a sustainable fashion. Name: Brian Cummings O f f i c e sought: Town clerk, tax collector Party: Democratic Address: 107 Clintonville Road Age: 52 Residency: 47 years Occupation: Inventory, sales and purchasing, coordinator for a locally based company doing business throughout the world Education: North Haven school system, K to 12; B.S. economics, Southern Connecticut State University Family: Single Executive experience: Appointed to North Haven Board of Ethics, 2006; elected to North Haven Planning and Zoning Commission as a regular member from 2007 to present. Executive member and secretary of the South Central Regional Planning and Zoning Commission from 2007 to present. Community activities: Lead the effort to phase in the 2005 revaluation that resulted in saving the taxpayers of North Haven over $6,000,000. Why should North Haven voters vote for you? I am the most qualified candidate for the position. Over nearly 30 years I have attained positions of increasing responsibility in management and support areas and I have answered the call successfully each time. I have lead teams of co-workers to examine and solve process problems that resulted in significant cost savings. I have worked with engineering staff and vendors to cut process and material costs. I have the experience and skills to successfully perform the position of town clerk-tax collector.

What are your top priorities and how will you address them? For the position of town clerk-tax collector, this is a twofold questions and I will answer it as so. The town clerk position is in some respect the historian of the town. The position deserves great respect. I will give that respect. In the 1850s many of the town’s records were destroyed by a fire. My priority will be to ensure the records of North Haven will be safeguarded so that the present generation can properly conduct business and future generations can examine the past. As tax collector I will work to maintain and improve upon the robust tax collection rate North Haven has sustained over the years. As new technologies come about to enable better collections I will seek to have them employed in North Haven. I will do this as I have in my management career, and that is with the fairness and compassion the law allows. Name: J.

My legal background is a wonderful base for the joint positions I seek, which are 100 percent customer service dedicated. I will in turn dedicate myself to the citizens of the Town of North Haven if my team is elected Nov. 3. What are your top priorities and how will you address them? I am dedicated to accomplish and exceed our team’s

platform for bringing North Haven back to the forefront of the very best place to live, work and visit. Please visit the Mike Freda Web site at: www.mikefreda.com. I am first and foremost, a mother. My family is the most important thing to me, and I want the town they live in to be wonderful for them and their future. I am from a small town in Mississippi, and North Haven reminds me a lot of the town I grew up in. It is the perfect place to be. N a m e : William V. Gambardella O f f i c e sought: Town treasurer Party: Democrat Address: 1014 Hartford Turnpike Age: 49 Residency: Lifetime Education: North Haven High School;, UConn, BA; Western New England Law School, JD Family: Wife, Rosalind; children: Evan and Molly, both at North Haven High School Elective experience: Former member of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Inland Wetlands Commission, longtime member of the Economic Development Commission, former State Representative, 1989 to 1992 from the 87th District, currently serve as town treasurer. Community activities: Current member and past president of the North Haven Rotary; current member and past Master of the Mayflower Society; past president and member of the Hamden Symphony; former soccer coach for the North Haven Soccer Club; chaperone of the North Haven High School band trip Contact: billesq1@yahoo.com, or home at (203) 2399200 Why should North Haven voters vote for you? I have served the people of North Haven since my graduation from law school. I have been a part of many community organizations and have always tried to make North Haven a better place. Our community is a wonderful place to live thanks to all of the people who give back in so many ways. I have focused my efforts on elective office. My years of experience in various elected offices, together with my knowledge of the

town and its vast array of good civic minded people, help me to bring the highest level of service I can to our community. It has always been an honor to be able to serve the people of North Haven. I hope you will give me the opportunity this November to continue to serve as your town treasurer. What are your top priorities and how will you address them? In my first term as treasurer I worked to strengthen our pension system, and protect the town’s investments. In consultation with our professional staff in the finance office and our outside investment advisors we carefully chose the banks in which we placed your tax dollars for safekeeping. The FDIC insurance is not enough to cover our town’s exposure with millions of dollars in one bank. We carefully watched to see which banks were at risk of failure, and utilized that money first to reduce our risk. Luckily none of the banks we use failed, but we all know too well the fear that existed only a short time ago. I also worked with our town’s Pension Boards to update our investment strategy in an effort to use the current market conditions to recover much of the loss we suffered in our pension investments. In my next term I hope to continue to strengthen the role of the town’s Pension Boards to guarantee the health of our pension system.

Editor’s note: The North Haven Citizen will feature a column written by resident Paul Colella. Patriots and Scoundrels will tell the history of North Haven during the period between 1789 to 1850. Narrated by a fictional character – Charity Chastine – the column will tell the story of important historical figures and events of the town.

Part XXIV As we entered the charming residence of Colonel and Mrs. Ridgefield, Simon Blackwell greeted us with a devilish countenance, and I suddenly had a terrible feeling so I took hold of Lt. Bradford’s hand. Dr. Greenville was very clever but cautious when he explained to Simon

that he had come to inquire about Charlotte’s health, and he brought us with him to see Charlotte. As we had rehearsed our plan in the carriage ride over, Dr. Greenville, the lieutenant, and I played our roles of trying to persuade Simon into believing that we had turned our alliance away from Mrs. Kensington, and we wholeheartedly supported his intentions for Charlotte by offering our assistance and friendship. We explained deceivingly that we had witnessed the ill treatment that was bestowed upon Charlotte by her husband and her mother, and we believed that Simon was Charlotte’s knight in shining armor that would save her. Unbeknownst to us, Simon saw through our charade but pretended to go along with us. He invited us

to stay for tea and he told us that Charlotte was resting but would join us soon. After engaging in polite conversation for some time, Simon had a servant bring us tea and told us that he was going to get Charlotte, but for us to go ahead and have the tea while it was hot. After he left, I dutifully poured the tea and served it to Lt. Bradford and Dr. Greenville. Since he was well acquainted with Simon from serving with him during the war, the lieutenant was troubled by his gracious behavior and his suspiciously quick departure. As we were about to take a sip of our tea, the lieutenant threw his cup to the floor and shouted to Dr. Greenville and me not to drink from our cups. “Do not drink the tea for it has been poisoned,” Lt. Bradford exclaimed. “Simon

has seen through our plot, and I fear that we now have spoiled our chance to save Charlotte from her lunatic captor. We have to find them.” Suddenly, as the lieutenant looked out the window, he caught a glimpse of Simon and Charlotte hurrying along the beach. Upon seeing them, the lieutenant banged on the window while shouting loudly, but his efforts were in vain so he scurried out of the house and onto the beach to pursue them. Dr. Greenville and I followed from behind, but the lieutenant was much faster than us gaining his lead upon Simon and Charlotte. As we hurried along the shore, I could hear the waves crashing upon the sandy beach. Our pursuit led us to the top of a cliff that Dr.

Greenville referred to as Widow’s Bluff, where according to him, widows who had lost their husbands to the sea, would stand on the edge lamenting before leaping to their own deaths. The lieutenant was the first to come upon Simon and Charlotte, who were standing close to the edge of the cliff. When Lt. Bradford attempted to call out to Charlotte, Simon got in front of her and ordered her not to listen to him. He proceeded to fill her head with lies about the lieutenant’s intentions. While Simon and Lt. Bradford began to argue, Dr. Greenville and I had arrived. When she saw me, Charlotte gave me a jovial greeting and as she tried to move away from Simon and come towards me, Simon pushed her back causing her to lose her balance. To our shocking horror Charlotte stumbled backwards, lost her footing and fell off the cliff screaming in terror. A horrified and devastated Simon looked down below as the raging and fierce waves of the sea swallowed up his beloved and helpless Charlotte. He then turned and gazed at us with a wicked and hideous look while shouting out in great anguish. “Your meddling interference has caused the death of my precious Charlotte. I curse you and all the days that you shall walk on this earth,” ranted Simon. Then he joined Charlotte by throwing himself into the sea. We hurried to the edge of the cliff and as we looked down, we saw no sign of either of them except for Charlotte’s lace cap that was lying on the jagged rocks below. Dr. Greenville bowed his head in sorrow and wept bitterly, and as I cried profusely on the shoulder of the lieutenant, my ears were plagued by the piercing sound of waves crashing down on the shore beneath Widow’s Bluff. At Singleton Lodge, JeanLuc, with Louise’s assistance, carried Madame Monnerat outside of the lodge. After gently placing her on the ground, Jean-Luc stared inSee Patriots, next page

her daughter had died. Both Lt. Bradford and Dr. Greenville remained silent. I assumed that they, like all men, tend to hide their emotions better than women do, but they hurt as much as I did. I kept asking the same question again and again in my mind – why did Charlotte have to die so horribly. Since I could recall, people have always been capable of such cruelty and unspeakable acts as depicted in stories from the Bible. Cain killed his brother Abel out of jealousy, pagan tribes enslaved and killed the Israelites, and great sin caused God to bring a tremendous flood upon the earth. Man’s inhumanity to man has existed since ancient times and the sins of

jealousy, anger, greed, envy, sloth, pride, and lust committed by mankind have tragically led to war, persecution, misery, and death. At the same time, these sinful acts claim the lives of the innocent as well, while leaving those left behind with pain, suffering, and shattered memories. As the carriage approached the entrance to Kensington Hall, I dreaded witnessing the reaction of Mrs. Kensington after we told her the horrific news. The death of a child is the greatest loss a parent should not have to endure. When we went inside, Mrs. Kensington was sitting in the drawing room doing needle point. She greeted us with a smile,

but after we informed her of Charlotte’s tragic demise, the smile was replaced by a blank expression. A few moments later, Mrs. Kensington gave out a loud cry from a blistering agony of grief that was heard throughout Kensington Hall, and then all was silent. To be continued…

Coming next week... Patriots and Scoundrels Part 25 Who will find redemption? What is Mrs. Kensington’s next move?

tensely at Madame Monnerat’s face. While staring at the woman he had just saved from danger, Jean-Luc realized that he had known her some years before. He began to think back about five years ago when he and Madame Monnerat had a brief but unforgettable encounter at a marketplace in Paris. He recalled they both had their eyes on the same basket of fruit and after a charming conversation, Madame Monnerat had managed to acquire the basket, leaving Jean-Luc empty handed but with the image of a beautiful young woman etched in his memory forever only to emerge with their unexpected reunion. The servants came running out of Singleton Lodge carrying some belongings. When they asked about Monsieur Monnerat, Louise looked at Jean-Luc and begged him to go into the burning lodge to get Monsieur Monnerat. At first Jean-Luc hesitated, then after gazing at Madame Monnerat, he told Louise to watch over the lovely woman as he went in to retrieve her husband. When he entered the drawing room, he looked about thoroughly but Monsieur Monnerat was nowhere to be found. Jean-Luc searched the entire lower floor but he found no one. When the smoke began to get to him, Jean-Luc made a quick departure. When he returned outside, Louise informed him that one of the servants told her Monsieur Monnerat was seen on a horse galloping down the road from Singleton Lodge. Jean-Luc stood tall, and with anger in his eyes, he stared down the road while making a silent vow that Monsieur Monnerat and he would soon meet again. A few miles away from Singleton Lodge at Winchester Park, Ethan Fairchild brought a frightened Honoria Noble to his family’s ancestral home. When she entered the great hall, Honoria was captivated by the elegance and grandeur of the architecture. A servant escorted them into the drawing room where

another servant brought in a tray of food and drink. Ethan kindly told Honoria to rest while he went to find his aunt. Honoria indulged in the delicious meal on the tray before her. She admired the beautiful furnishings in the room, and she felt a sense of relief from the hideous laughter that had now ceased from her head. As Honoria was enjoying the tranquility of the new surroundings, someone was surreptitiously watching her with a grave disapproval. After reconciling ourselves to the terrible fact that Charlotte and Simon were dead, the lieutenant, Dr. Greenville, and I were on our way back to Kensington Hall to tell Mrs. Kensington that

Girls’Volleyball outlasts Career Magnet 3-2 By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen

The North Haven High School girls’ volleyball squad edged Career Magnet 3-2 in a tightly contested matchup on Oct. 19. Sporting white, knee-high socks that concealed their knee pads, the NHHS girls set, served, spiked, and slid across the gym floor in the back-and-forth affair. The games, played in the NHHS Fred Kelly Gymnasium before a crowd of four dozen, were first to 25 points, with points scored on the change of serve. The fifth, deciding game was first to 15 points. In the first game, the home team jumped to an 11-1 lead behind good spikes from Kelsey Searles, and superb serving from Erica Pustari and Katie Roberts. In the early run, Roberts amassed five straight service aces, with the Indians chanting, clapping, and stomping in uniformed celebration after each unreturned serve. Following a called timeout, Career Magnet ended North Haven’s streak and fought back, bringing the score to 15-13. Searles reclaimed the momentum with a sliding dig on her knees, and the Indians increased their lead to 21-13. After Career Magnet regained the ball, North Haven head coach Carin Mikos called timeout and challenged her players to step up their play. The teams traded points on serve to make the score 21-15 before the Indians responded to their coach’s provocation. Searles’ spiked a ball untouched into the opponents’ left front left corner to regain possession, and North Haven would not relinquish their serve for the remainder of the game. Indian Kristyn Cullen mixed two service aces with a great rescue dig of a deep ball to take the first match 25-15. The squads switched sides and the next game was much closer. Career Magnet’s Brianna Brown and Porsha Thelusma traded shots with

North Haven’s Melissa Sardilli and Roberts, with North Haven capturing an early lead, 10-7. Mikos became vocal, pacing the sideline while shouting advice to her players. Despite the coach’s energy, North Haven simply could not shake the challengers. North Haven’s Kayla Brown dug a ball out off her knees for a point, but Career Magnet’s Ashley Raymond began to better utilize her height. Raymond sent several great spikes at the Indians as the score crawled to 18-17. Several points later, Raymond faked a spike and placed the ball off the neck of an Indian net player to even the score at 19 each. Raymond then served an ace for the 20-19 visitor lead. North Haven’s Sam Santore, Searles, and Pustari helped even the score at 23-23, but Career Magnet’s Brianna Longley served back-to-back aces for the 25-23 victory, evening the match at one victory apiece. The teams swapped sides again. After Raymond helped stake the visitors a 3-2 lead, Mikos called timeout and urged her players to increase their initiative. Pustari, Santore, and Roberts led the subsequent charge, and North Haven scored 11 unanswered points. The teams traded serves and points, with great play from Indians Lauryn Mastriano and Lindsay Meyer, and the score rose to 18-7. The teams continued their even play, with each collecting 5 points enroute to a 23-12 score. However, North Haven’s earlier 11-point run proved the difference, and Pustari closed out the game with consecutive aces. Down 2-1 in the match, Career Magnet came out strong in the fourth game with an early 9-4 lead. Panthers Raymond and Longley continued their solid play, and the visitors continued with a 127 lead. However, Career Magnet’s communication broke down for a run of three plays, during which the vol-

leyball would land between groups of visiting players, each having expected the other to get to the ball. A terrific touch shot from Meyer lowered the Panthers’ lead to a 12-11. Several points later, Pustari’s ace evened the score at 13 apiece. A Career Magnet carry would give the Indians their first lead of the match, 15-14. The lead was short-lived. The teams alternated points before Raymond again took over and put her team up 2017. Roberts helped North Haven battle back to a 22-19 deficit, but Raymond clinched the 25-22 victory with a spike and an ace. The fifth and deciding game began similarly to the first - North Haven quickly found themselves up 7-2. A combination of continued Career Magnet miscues, along with excellent serving from Santore and Meyer, made it 11-3 in favor of the Indians. The visitors’ last stand started with Raymond and Longley. The two Panthers combined to cut North Haven’s lead to just 12-8. However, after North Haven dug out a ball that ricocheted off the gym’s ceiling rafters for a point, Career Magnet made two unforced errors and the Indians prevailed 159, 3-2. “This was not our best game,” Mikos said after the victory. “But somehow we made it through the end.” North Haven seemed like the obvious dominant team for some stretches, and looked listless for others. “I never know which team will show up,” Mikos said. “We got lucky today and pulled out a win.” With the victory, North Haven improved to 5-9. The loss dropped Career Magnet to 0-13 on the season. Before varsity play, the North Haven junior varsity team defeated Career Magnet’s JV squad 2-0, 25-10, 2520.

benefits. We have managed our duties in a fair and balanced manner. The critical capital needs of the town have been addressed and will continue to be supported. Services have been maintained or improved, without severe budget increases. The unappropriated fund balance remains sufficient for its purpose as a safety net. This past year, we balanced the usage of a portion of our unappropriated savings account against the need for a zero percent tax increase. In these tough economic times, voices have been heard, and we were able to respond.

Education has been funded appropriately, with a focus on efficiency and cost-benefit examination. Their educational mission cannot fail, but the taxpayers cannot be burdened with uncontained appropriations. Seniors, and citizens on fixed incomes, must always be in our thoughts. Again, “balance” is the key to good budgeting. If you like the job that we have done over the past four years, and you wish fair and balanced financial planning in the future, we were here to continue the task of serving our fine community. What are your top priorities and how will you address them? The Board of Finance is not involved with the operational management of North Haven, but we have the discretion to fund the departments and the line items that enable our municipality to perform its functions. Our top priority is always to control spending and mandate managerial accountability and greater internal efficiencies. At the same time, we cannot ignore our capital requirements, whether it be roads, buildings, or other infrastructure. We can accomplish our

goals by insisting upon our leaders to seek all alternative sources of funding from other levels of government. Grants and shared regional costs may provide important financial benefits to our overall budget. We desire contractual labor agreements which control benefit costs, especially future health care expenses. By keeping the budget process open and honest, we believe that hard choices and difficult decisions are no excuses to overcome the challenges that we face.

North Haven has achieved more than in many years. I believe that all members of the Board of Finance contributed to these achievements. I will continue to be a high functioning team member who has extensive administrative experience with educational budgets of several million dollars over a period of 14 years. What are your top priorities and how will you address them? The Democratic team needs to provide the best of all possible services and facilities to all taxpayers in North Haven and at the best possible cost. I will pursue public and private funding to study the effectiveness of our major departments in town. These studies will help us to understand if the funds we provide to our departments are enough for the services they provide to all of us and if they function as effectively as possible. I will also, as a part of the Democratic team, seek all state and federal funding to minimize costs to North Haveners and to increase services to all of us.

Letters Continued from page 18

Keep McCarty train running To the editor: It is time for us once again to make a decision on someone to run our town. In two short years Janet McCarty has established some great accomplishments. The pool and library now have increased hours that they are open. There is a more responsible fund balance, 7.7 percent, which enabled her to keep our taxes in line when other area towns saw significant increases. As a matter of fact there was not a tax increase this year, first time in our town in over 10 years. The creation of a long overdue paramedic service for our town. A capital purchasing plan to replace aging equipment so our town employees have the right tools to do their jobs. Grant money for the Senior Center, Public Works Department and town lighting. An increase in senior tax relief. Two years ago, I asked all of you to get on board the McCarty train. Now I ask you to keep the train running. Please support Janet McCarty and Steve Fontana and the entire Democratic team on Election Day. Frank O’Connor North Haven

Where is the indignation now?

A vote for Row B To the editor: When you vote on Nov. 3, there should be no hesitation on your decision. For the first time in a while our town is heading in a direction that will benefit us all in the future and not just some individuals. The town is finally getting grants (free money), $1,840,000. Also we are saving over $2,000,000 a year by competitive bids, and for the first time ever you can see all major meetings on NHTV (open government). Let’s stay on track with rebuilding a depleted infrastructure. A few examples: Clintonville School boilers, library roof, middle school roof, new town garage, five miles of road paved, $750,000 in renovations to the Senior Center. Remember, it has been 22 years without renovations. “Yeah, they really cared about our seniors!”

Also, renovations of the police station, including replacing rugs that were over 20 years old. Now let’s talk about the near future and going green by continuing to save money on solar panels. Changing street light bulbs has saved $9,000 per month, along with changing all the lights in our schools and municipal buildings and new recycling procedures. The representative from UI referred to North Haven at the second annual energy forum as the leader in energy efficiency measures in the area. If Mr. Freda was so concerned with our town, maybe instead of spending his time spreading rumors and putting down the first selectman with his gloom and doom outlook, he could have spent his time better working with the first selectman learning how to run the town efficiently with a positive outlook for the future. Keep our town heading in the right direction. Vote Row B for Janet McCarty and the Democratic ticket. Gary M. Amato North Haven

Viable solution finally found To the editor: Thank you for your coverage of my complaint to the Board of Education. Your reporter, however, missed a couple of pertinent facts. First, I was not looking for “special transportation” for my son. I was asking for him to take a bus which is already going to Green Acres Elementary School. There was not a request for any additional bus to be authorized just for him. Secondly, there would be no cost to either the town or the school district for this accommodation. While the board heard the complaint, I want to thank the superintendent, Sara Jane Querfeld, for stepping forward with a viable alternative to my request. It took a bit of coordination, but what she was able to do was make a “reasonable accommodation” for my son to enter the elementary school off his high school bus before the elementary school dismissal. While I know that the superintendent has to delegate some authority and complaints to the assistant superintendent, if Ms. Querfeld had handled this matter herself from the start, it never

would have gotten this far. The individual who denied my request and the one who upheld his decision, did not look for a resolution. They only looked for the easy way out by saying “no.” Andrew S. Kipperman, CPA North Haven

McCarty deserves better grades To the editor: As a retired superintendent of schools, I was surprised when I read a paid advertisement for Mike Freda’s campaign for first selectman which was included in the North Haven Citizen recently. The political flyer depicts a report card for Janet McCarty with all F’s. Although I have a great deal of respect for both candidates, I believe that there is no basis for this remarkable distortion of the truth. Initially misleading is the impression that the four areas rated are actually actions that a selectman could possibly control, but that is beside the point. In regard to the reduction of six teaching positions by the Board of Education due to the $450,000 cut by the Board of Finance, although two

teaching slots were elementary positions, the balance primarily came through selective reduction of offerings at the high school. As painful as that was, the reduction in teaching staff paled in comparison to other communities across the state due to the enormous economic crisis. Furthermore, although my former Boards of Education could not control cuts by the Finance Board, both political parties were well aware of pending reductions, since budget cuts are not a legal reason to go into executive session. Regardless, both sides of the aisle are represented, so there are no surprises. I can honestly say that I always maintained a very good working relationship with the “town fathers,” but I can assure you that Boards of Finance rarely consult school administrators when it comes to keeping taxes down. It’s not personal. And as far as incentives for staff are concerned, that is Board of Education territory, not the town’s. Regarding the fourth criticism about the lack of revenue support of the status quo for education, two ques-

To the editor: In last week’s Citizen, Mr. Feinberg seemed troubled by my characterization of the Middle School roof repairs as a “maintenance item.” Yes, the $100,000 repair of a roof that would cost over $1,000,000 to replace is a “maintenance item.” He went on to say that the prior Republican administration didn’t allocate sufficient funds to fix the roof. During my four years on the Board of Finance no other request for repair of the roof was put forth by the Board of Education or the superintendent. Later in his letter he gives the current administration credit for fixing the boilers at the elementary schools. Why is this so extraordinary? Does he think a Republican administration would have let our children freeze? The Board of Education

was increased by $1,300,000 and $1,132,000 in the years ended 2006 and 2007. In 2008 the Board of Education was increased by $1,393,000. That budget included funds for 44 out-placed special education students. As has been expressed many times by the superintendent, out placements are difficult to predict and unfortunately in 2008 we had 53 actual out placements. That was the cause of the additional $250,000 appropriation for 2008, not underfunding by Mr. Freda or the administration. Mr. Feinberg, a former member of the Board of Finance, seems to have forgotten that in the fall of 2005, the town opened a brand new $75,000,000 high school, a capital expenditure of gigantic magnitude by any definition. Perhaps Mr. Feinberg’s letter is an expression of his passion for education. He was similarly passionate on matters that came before the Board of Finance. I recall with clarity a Board of Finance meeting in the spring of 2007. Mr. Feinberg was upset with and objected strenuously to the proposed transfer of $850,000 from the fund balance to the following year’s budget. Where has his indignation been the last two years, as the administration transferred $7,743,000 to balance two budgets? Timothy Doheny Member, Board of Finance Candidate, selectman North Haven

tions come to mind. Why was the BOE forced to request a quarter of a million dollars more the year before McCarty took office? How does her million dollar increase for school facilities compare to the $80,000 over the previous three years? It seems to me that the town’s present CEO deserves much better grades. David P.

Haven voted in record numbers to make a badly-needed change. We needed a decisive, accountable, and responsive leader who would fix what was wrong in Town Hall and move us forward again – and, thankfully, we got one, and more, in Janet McCarty. As a selectman, I’ve worked with Janet, and no one in my experience has worked harder as first selectman for ordinary citizens than she has. In a short time, she has accomplished much more than she promised us, and we can see it in the bottom line – what we get for the taxes we pay. Think about it: in the midst of the worst recession in 75 years, she’s not only saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in health insurance and energy costs and negotiated a favorable new trash contract, but actually improved our services. From securing grants to improve our Public Works garage, Senior Center, and Valley Service Road, to expanding before- and afterschool care, to repairing the library and middle-school roofs, to implementing singlestream recycling, to extending library and recycling center hours, to repaving five miles of roads, to increasing

senior tax relief and finally instituting paramedic coverage, she has delivered on her promises to us – and with no tax increase this year. Having lived in town as long as I have, I’ve seen North Haven grow and change, and I’ve come to know as well as anyone what we need in a leader. More than ever, we need someone like Janet: a principled, detail-oriented, hands-on manager who’s always looking to save us money and put us first. She’s tough, she’s smart, and she’s fair – exactly what we need in a first selectman. To me, the choice could not be clearer. We can either keep Janet, a proven, effective leader whom we know we can trust to make the right decisions, or we can roll the dice on untested people with little experience who talk a good game but want to take us back to the same way of doing things that got us into so much trouble. I ask everyone who wants to keep things moving in the right direction to vote for Janet McCarty, me, and the entire Democratic team on Nov. 3. With your help, we’ll keep moving forward. Steve Fontana North Haven

Deprived of debate McCarty deserves reelection opportunity To the editor: As most mayors and first selectmen around Connecticut engage in live, unscripted debates with ample questions and answers from the public, we in North Haven were deprived of such an opportunity because Janet McCarty claimed she was “too busy.” On Aug. 20, the Freda campaign invited Janet McCarty to debate Mike Freda three times, provided three dates over a month in advance and asked Janet to provide alternative dates and times if those proposed by Mike Freda were not convenient. Janet refused to participate, claiming she was “too busy.” The RTC recently FOI’d Janet’s calendar. Not only did she have nothing in her calendar any of the evenings of the three debates, she had many, many evenings in September and October for which no meetings or appointments were scheduled, according to the calendar she produced. Thus, it is clear that Janet is simply unwilling to debate Mike Freda in a manner that would require her to answer to the public and be accountable. Quite frankly, this is an embarrassment to our town. Antoinetta Carmody North Haven

To the editor: In two years, Janet McCarty and the Democratic leadership in North Haven have made tremendous strides in improving our town. I have been very pleased with the efforts to bring monies into the town for needed improvements. It is great that Janet McCarty brought us grant monies to allow the paramedic program to be initiated. She also identified funds that provided for the renovation of the senior center and the public works garage and for roof repairs at the library and middle school. It is also tremendous that she identified savings in health insurance and trash collection expenditures. Most importantly, Janet McCarty’s administration has made things in town better but has done so without a loss of programs or services. By keeping spending under control, residents in town saw no tax increase this year and needed tax relief to our seniors was increased. Janet McCarty’s team is focused on streamlining town government, eliminating waste, and making the budget process transparent. Janet McCarty is a hardworking, dedicated town leader with a two-year track of success. Janet McCarty and Steve Fontana and the entire Democratic team deserve to be reelected for another two years.

The event has raised as much as $3,000 in the past, Bogert said, and the church is hoping for $4,000 this year. “Things are tight this year in the economy and the North

Haven food bank really needs out help,” Bogert said. “We’d love to help them out and at the same time have our haunted house give some people a little bit of a thrill, and have our Halloween party provide a little bit of entertainment.” “It all comes back to the event being a nice, safe place to bring your family,” Bogert added.
