Play ball! Baseball at the library By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen Although no balls were actually thrown or batted, youths of all ages happily took part in North Haven Memorial Library’s baseball day. Several dozen attended the July 12 event, held inside the library, which included demonstrations, a visit from a mascot and a sportsthemed reading. Angela Beach, assistant director of the children’s department, read aloud “Casey Back at Bat”; sequel to the popular poem “Casey at the Bat.” Humbled in the original by a strikeout with bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, Casey sought redemption. As Beach read, Casey is put in a similar do-or-die baseball situation. He manages to connect for a monstrous, soaring shot. But is it enough – or too much? New Britain Rock Cats mascot

Rocky attended the reading, signed autographs and had his picture taked with eager boys and girls. Rob Borgwald, owner of 2312 Sports Shop, North Branford, spoke on contemporary kids’ baseball and softball equipment. Boys gloves are sized-based on positional need, Borgwald said. Middle infield spots – second base, shortstop – generally require shorter glove webs, as for quicker transportation of ball from mitt to hand in turning outs. Outfielders use larger gloves, increasing their capabilities of snagging long fly balls. Girls’ gloves tend to be selected less based on position, Borgwald added, and more on personal inclination. For quickly breaking in a new mitt, Borgwald suggested Lexol leather conditioner, or a similar See Library, page 20

At the July 8 Board of Education meeting, intentions of a home-grown celebrity to film North Haven were announced, and the search for the town’s next superintendent continued. When Interim Superintendent of Schools Patricia Brozek gave her first monthly report to the Board of Education last Thursday, she spoke of a former local student who’s been in the national spotlight for several years. Paul Macarelli, who graduated from North Haven High School in 1988, may be better known as the Verizon guy who travels the countryside asking, “Can you hear me now?” Brozek reported that the

well-known TV figure is the owner and producer of Table Ten Films, and has been approved to use parts of the high school in the production of a feature film entitled The Green. Brozek said that local aspiring thespians may wish to inquire about “25 bit parts that will provide an opportunity to be on a real film set.” Micarelli, who wrote the script, will cover all expenses when he rents portions of the school facility during the third week of August. Creative thinking awarded In another moment of town pride, Brozek reported that local high schooler Alex Iezzi took third prize in a contest that challenges young minds around the world. She added that it is the sixth consecutive year

that the high school has brought home a prize. Brozek beamed when she announced that North Haven High School has represented Connecticut at the International Future Problem Solvers Competition for the 25th consecutive year. The worldwide competition was held at the University of Wisconsin. Superintendent search In other business, Brozek announced that the search for a new superintendent is under way and that there will be meetings for areas of focus on Thursday, July 29th in the high school auditorium. Four 50-minute sessions have been scheduled by consultant Thomas Jokubaitis of CES, a regional education service center also hired by

After conferring with First Selectman Michael Freda on July 7, town resident Reilly Cargan will not seek the vacant Board of Education seat. Cargan’s appointment, the two decided, could represent a conflict of interest, considering her husband’s past. “I met with Ms. Cargan and we reviewed the fact that her husband once worked as a teacher for the school system and had resigned that position,” Freda said Wednesday. “We both agreed that that could set up a potential conflict down the road.” Cargan’s husband had taught at North Haven Middle School years ago before stepping down. Motivation behind his move remains un-

clear to Freda. “It’s not in my place to ask,” Freda said. “I don’t know and I don’t need to know.” Cargan, a Clintonville Elementary school PTA member, would have filled a BOE seat once belonging to fellow Republican Suzanne Donofrio, who resigned last month following her family’s relocation to Trumbull. Cargan’s appointment was discussed but tabled at the July 1 Board of Selectmen’s meeting, pending further investigation into her husband’s history with the district. “It was brought to my attention by members of the Board of Education who remembered that her husband had once worked for the school system,” Freda said last week before the meeting. “I want to do as much as I

Winners and losers at Planning & Zoning meeting By David Marchesseault Special to The North Haven Citizen

There were winners and losers in a three-hour meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday evening, as the commission seemed to agonize over some of the deliberations. In the first hearing, attorney James Perito requested a change of use for property located on Republic Drive. The unusual request involved a proposal for a car kit assembly operation. The attorney emphasized that it was not a used car lot; in fact, the orders for the kits would be placed in advance of the company purchasing the components. Although there would be an interior showroom, there would be no outdoor display

of vehicles. Repairs under the warrantee would be minor in nature. Commission member Vern Carlson was concerned about creating a problem down the line by essentially allowing potential owners to use the property in a less desirable way in the future. However, the full board granted the request with “reasonable restrictions” according to Chairman James Giulietti. The special permit would specify that only pre-manufactured car kits could be assembled, and neither storage nor displays would be allowed outside. Proper documentation was also required. The revised site plan would indicate the location for seven dumpsters, as well as restricting outside storage to the rear of the build-

ing. The new parking area would also need an additional island with a tree. Giulietti recused himself for the second hearing due to the proximity of the site to his personal property on Broadway. A consultant representing Dalton Velez who plans to expand Ludal’s, a restaurant in the center of town, described the need to move the bar area into an area presently housing Scotty’s Breakfast. The separate dining room is required by the state due to restrictions on the serving of alcohol. When the request came to a vote it passed without issue. The next matter to come before the commission was a lengthy presentation by attorney Mike Brady, representing Locust Realty Asso-

ciates. Brady’s client saught to build a 16,000 sqare foot building at 48 Giles Avenue, which is located near I-91 in an IG-80 zoning district. A waiver of a sidewalk was requested due to the type of trucking at the site, which already contains a 12,000 square feet facility. The property had previously been an storage area for construction materials. The various presenters claimed that great pains have been taken to be good neighbors with the residents nearby, since 250 feet of the property borders Giles Avenue. The commission decided to waive the sidewalk and the sprinkler requirements due to the nature of the layout, but required clarification of islands and trees in the new parking area, as well as storage location. In the category of “other,” a dumpster enclosure was approved for property at 272 Maple Avenue, although the height was reduced from the requested eight feet down to six feet. The long-discussed sidewalks at 320 Middletown Ave. came before the commission with the developer’s request for a waiver for the south side

and a bond reduction. Although the bond was not reduced, the board determined on a 3-2 vote that the $50,000 cost of that section was too great a burden to impose during these economic times. Although John Markowski from the home owners association apologized for his aggressive behavior at the previous meeting, his passionate, renewed request for elimination of the “sidewalks to nowhere” at the development was not accepted. The final “other” matter to come before the commission was a request by Antonio Occhibove of Antonio’s Restaurant at 528 Washington Ave. Occhibove wished to place a large cooler for food storage outside his restaurant. His plans for fencing and other steps to hide the cooler from the road were acceptable to the board, but a formal site plan must be submitted by the next meeting, despite his plan to open the restaurant by the end of July. It was noted that the set back was well within required reg-

I just didn’t realize her husband had worked as a teacher.” Several aspirants for the seat have already arisen. “We’ve had three people who have called either me or [Republican] the town committee who are interested in the position,” Freda said. “We will be interviewing these people.” Freda expected such interviews to take place in mid-tolate July. “We hope to wrap this up and present it at the next Board of Selectmen’s meeting,” he said. The selectmen will next meet August 5. The term on the Board of Education would last until election 2011. Cargan could not be reached for comment. 1159644

Community honors devoted volunteer and Friend of the Library By Paul Colella Special to the North Haven Citizen

It often has been said that a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in life should not be measured by position or wealth, but how he or she is looked upon by his or her peers, and the legacy of fond memories, good deeds and accomplishments they leave behind after they are gone. On Wednesday evening, June 30, family, friends, and members of the North Haven community gathered on the main floor of the North Haven Memorial Library to pay tribute posthumously to Donald McCall, a long-time resident, loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, loyal friend, veteran, scholar, gentleman and dedicated volunteer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great honor and pleasure to be here this evening and to pay tribute to a wonderful and fine man

who did so much for his family, friends and community,â&#x20AC;? stated First Selectman Michael J. Freda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Don McCall was a true public servant who gave selflessly to his community while reaching out to anyone in need of assistance.â&#x20AC;? Freda presented a framed proclamation to McCallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Ruth and declared June 30 as Donald McCall Day in Town Hall. McCall was a graduate of UConn, a veteran of the Korean War, a banker by profession, sang in the choir at St. James Church in Fairhaven and in the Glee Club at the University of New Haven, was active in church functions and organizations at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church, active in the North Haven Grange and the North Haven Fair, a member of the Friends of the Library, an animal lover and an avid reader of books, especially the classics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember meeting Don

for the first time 10 years ago when he came to one of our book sales at the library, and he told us to sell the older authors and emphasize the classics because they never go out of style and are always popular and necessary for the future generations,â&#x20AC;? recalled Phyllis Kaercher, chairman of the library board and member of the Friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From that day on, Don helped to sort books, helped with the watering of the Reading Garden maintained by the Friends, and served as program director for the Friends for several years. He was always there when you needed a helping hand.â&#x20AC;? Kaercher further explained that McCall loved the classics and talked about them and believed that they were faithful and timeless. McCall died in May 2009 at age 82. To honor his memory and devotion to the classics, the Friends purchased several classics written by his favorite authors, including Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Emily Bronte. These books are available in large print at the library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Friends bought these books to replace the old ones, and these were Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorites,â&#x20AC;? stated Nancy Haag,

Letters to the Editor

McCarty deserves thanks

To the editor: With all the hoopla, publicity and celebration for the newly renovated North Haven Senior Center, where is any mention of our former First Selectman, Janet McCarty? Nary a word, nary a mention in a news article, nary a glimpse of her in a photo. She’s the one who got the ball rolling in the first place. Ten months of rehabilitation of the Center means the work was started before the inauguration, even the election, of our current first selectman. Planning for the renovations, long overdue, would have started even before that, while McCarty was first selectman. With neither grace nor gratitude, not one official or administrator made public

mention of her contribution to the very welcome improvement to our community. Shame, shame! Congratulations, Janet, on a job welldone. Lois M. Hartsoe North Haven

Impressed by Yaccarino To the editor: I have attended two of the Q&A sessions held by Dave Yaccarino. I have been very impressed that Yaccarino is willing to put himself on the line and answer all questions that people may have. He demonstrates that he has the passion that we need to try to turn around a state legislature that is severely out of touch with reality. Yaccarino is a lifelong resident of North Haven and a small businessman in the community - he knows the town and

how to earn his own living. This is refreshing since our current state representative’s only career has been as a politician. I’ve had enough of career politicians who think that they know what’s best for us, yet they have no real world experience. We all need to look at Yaccarino seriously. He is not a smoothtalking politician that is always smiling and showing up at the right time for photo-ops. He will tell you what he thinks, and not just what he thinks you want to hear. We’ll see if Dave’s opponent, Steve Fontana, will take your vote for granted or will he have similar open Q&A sessions. If he does, I wonder how well he will defend his 14-year record in the legislature of higher electric bills, higher taxes, giving more money to the cities and voting for his party over the good of the people in North

Ban this burning To the editor: Environment and Human Health, Inc., a non-profit organization composed of nine members who are physicians and public health professionals, is asking the Connecticut Department of Public Health to ban all recreational wood burning when temperatures rise above 80 degrees. EHHI has received phone calls from people who are being made sick from wood smoke that is coming into their homes from neighbors’ wood smoke emissions — even in this heat wave. People are burning Chimineas Fire Pits, and other outdoor recreational wood burning devises — smoking out neighbors even in this incredible heat wave. The affected people come to EHHI only after they have exhausted all of Connecticut’s governmental and legal avenues. Because there are not sufficient laws in Connecticut to protect these people, they have only two options — to continue to be made sick or to move. In this economy it is almost impossible to move. The state has been lax in doing anything over the past years to help people being made sick by their neighbor’s wood smoke entering their homes on a continual basis — but the Connecticut Health Department has the power now to ban recreational wood burning in extremely hot weather to protect Connecticut citizens’ health — and they need to do it. The Connecticut Legislature does not meet until next year, and even if they were to legislate something, it is too late to help people who are being made sick right now. Can you imagine coping with this heat and also coping with

wood smoke coming in your home on top of the oppressive heat? Why is wood smoke a problem when it enters someone’s home on a continuous basis? Wood smoke contains many of the same components as cigarette smoke. It is both an irritant and a carcinogen. It interferes with the normal lung development in infants and children. The people who are exposed to their neighbors’ wood smoke suffer sore eyes and throats, and when the exposure continues, many get respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Wood smoke particles are so small that if the smoke is very close to a house the doors and windows cannot keep it out. Even the new energy-efficient weather tight homes cannot prevent wood smoke from entering homes. The Connecticut Department of Public Health needs to act now to protect its citizens — especially in this oppressive heat wave. Nancy Alderman, President Environment and Human Health, Inc.

To the editor: My family cemetery plot was vandalized July 4 weekend. I met with a so-called trained town professional. It was explained to me that a gravesite is only to be considered vandalized if the stones are toppled, damaged or spray painted. My family plot was deliberately vandalized by driving an automobile between the headstone and the veteran’s honorable plaque. My dad was a World War II veteran and the vandal drove over the veteran’s honorable plaque. Tire tracks were 7” wide and about 3” deep, damaging the soil and turf I put in some

Life along the Quinnipiac River: Summer fun with Recreation Department the Turtle Crossing Program The Quinnipiac River Watershed Association (QRWA) has several programs that help nature and provide additional data to concerned agencies. One of them is the Turtle Crossing Project, spearheaded by QRWA board member Deb Mason. Through its Turtle Crossing Project, which involves many local residents, the QRWA has provided for the monitoring and protection of the Wood turtle and the Eastern Box turtle, two of the “Species of Special Concern” in Connecticut. The Eastern Box turtle is four to seven inches long and has distinctive black and yellow, orange and tan patterns on the upper and lower shell. Their habitat is woodland and meadows, ponds and wetlands in summer and in or near wetlands in winter. The Wood turtle is about six to nine inches long and is an oval shape with a gray to brown textured dome. Underneath it is patterned yellow and black. Their habitat is foraging on land in late summer, on banks in the spring and fall and over-wintering in rivers and streams. Essentially acting as the Turtle Project coordinator, Mason asks the public to contact her when they witness turtles crossing the road or if they find sick or injured turtles. She asks questions to help determine the status of the turtles and provides information or refers callers to knowledgeable people, including vets and turtle rehab experts. Mason has been involved with actively caring for turtles for over 28 years. Her work as a professional piano turner requires her to travel all over the state, and she would stop to help turtles get to the other side of the road safely on their way to nesting sites in the spring or their home bases in the fall. Mason was asked to join the QRWA board because of her turtle expertise and was awarded a grant from Northeast Utilities to further her turtle efforts. She has purchased signs for her Turtle Crossing Project, but notes that the signs need to be placed on private property. As a QRWA member, she also talks to groups about the current situation of the turtle population in the state. While the Eastern Box turtle and the Wood turtle not on the endangered species lists, they are just one step away from this fate in Connecticut. Both of these turtles’ habitats are being destroyed by building, and this makes it harder for these turtles, especially the Eastern Box turtle, to have safe places to nest and live. The mortality rate is high for eggs and juveniles, and the Eastern Box turtle does not begin to lay eggs until they are 20 years old. The adult mortality rate is also on the rise. This is when Mason can help with providing assistance to the public and providing data to the

Department of Environmental Protection and other concerned agencies. The life of a turtle can be very dangerous. The female lays her eggs and then urinates on the nest and never comes back. When the turtles hatch, they have to make their way quickly to water, where they begin their lives. Predators such as foxes, skunks and raccoons like to raid the nests. There are targets when they travel to the water and while in the water as well. And as they grow to maturity to lay their eggs, they usually have to cross roads to get back to the nesting sites. When Mason gets a call, she asks questions to determine if the turtle is sick or injured. Common injuries are cracked shells, obvious injuries or respiratory problems. If needed, she refers to vets and turtle rehab experts who will care for the turtle until it is able to return to original location to resume its life in the wild. Recently Mason received a call regarding a turtle found in the middle of the road, nowhere near a pond. She visited the turtle and noticed that it had no back legs, but was able to swim. In a conversation with Sigrun Gadwa, scientist and turtle expert, it was determined that the turtle was malformed, probably from chemical runoff into out waterways. She expects to see more of this type of deformity. If you see a turtle crossing the road, consider assisting it to get to the other side. It’s important to bring them to the side towards which they are heading. Then contact Mason at 203-494-7610 and let her know so she can keep track of the turtle population and trends in the area. QRWA president Ginny Chirsky has nothing but praise for Mason. “Mason has single-handedly taken on this turtle project, and we and the rest of the community applaud her efforts,” she said. “She is caring and passionate about ‘her’ turtles, and we can all thank her for ensuring that turtles continue to be part of our environment.” Recently turtle eggs were found in the newly planted Butterfly and Bee Garden in the compost pile by garden coordinator JoAnne Grabinski, “I called Mason and she talked me through the process to ensure that the turtle eggs we safely taken care of, and reminded me to mark the location with wire fencing,” Grabinski said. “It is amazing and amusing that the garden has become a host to butterflies, bees and now turtles too.” Mason is planning a fundraiser to bring awareness to the challenges of the turtles of special concern.

The North Haven Department of Community Services and Recreation takes pride in presenting and providing a variety of programs and events for all ages, including summer day camps, aquatic and youth sports programs and summer concerts on the town green. “For busy parents, our summer day camps provide a safe fun-filled environment for their children to keep busy with many supervised activities from arts and crafts, swimming, hands-on activities, field trips, and outdoor fun,” said First Selectman Michael Freda. “These camps provide children an opportunity to learn, laugh, and play while making new friends.” There are three camps available, including the Summer Day Camp for boys and girls ages 6-12, for residents only, the Pre-School Program or Little Rec’ers is for boys and girls ages 3-5, for residents and non-residents, and the Playground Camp for

Registration starts in May and there is open registration until programs fill-up. “I start planning and coordinating the activities, events, entertainers, and summer help in January and work through April,” said Eileen Pettit, assistant director of recreation. “I’ve been doing this for 20 years and every year we always have a great number of sign-ups and we have children who keep coming back every summer until they are 12.” Pettit further explained that each camp is designed to fit the needs of the children. The Summer Day Camp is an integrated structured program with activities that revolve around a weekly theme and includes entertainment, arts and crafts and outdoor fun. Theme weeks include Game Week, Nature Week, Animal Week, Talent Week, Circus Week and Challenge Week. There is also swimming three days a week at the town pool. The Playground Camp is offered at three different locations, including Montowese,

Clintonville, and Ridge Road schools. This camp is run on a drop-in-basis, offering children the opportunity to interact with others in various recreational activities and offsite field trips; for example to the Eli Whitney Museum in Hamden, The North Haven Health and Racquet Club, and duckpin bowling. Children can go swimming on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the pool. The Pre-School or Little Rec’ers is a safe and enjoyable recreational program for preschoolers. Activities include free play, arts and crafts, story time, outdoor play and group activities. “Our camps are very successful because they are well structured, organized and supervised by a devoted group of summer seasonal employees,” added Pettit. “There are 60 employees consisting of high school and college students. Some of the college students are studying education at college, and all the staff enjoys working with children. Our camps are appealing to the children and the parents are

pleased with what we offer.” Children in the Summer Day Camp and Playground Camp are able to participate in an optional summer reading program in which they read books of their choice in a quiet room for 30 minutes under the watchful eye of a supervisor or youth counselor. If a child reads for all five days, then he or she is treated to an ice-cream on Friday. Children can bring their own books from home or select ones provided by the North Haven Board of Education. “This idea was the brainchild of Superintendent Sara Querfeld and former board of education member Suzanne Donofrio,” recalled Pettit. “Several children take advantage of the reading and it’s a great way to encourage them to read for the summer.” There are also a variety of youth programs including a Babysitting Course, Fishing Derby, Youth Tennis Clinic, Junior Golf Lessons, Baseball, Field Hockey, Basketball, Football, Softball and Volleyball camps for older children ages 8 to high school. The youth aquatic programs are offered at different levels for beginners, intermediate and advanced. “Thanks to the support of the North Haven business community, the town and the

department of Community Services and Recreation are able to host an outdoor summer concert series on the town green from June to August called Music under the Stars,” Freda said. “This concert series is a favorite of many residents and a great place to gather with family and friends while enjoying an evening of music and relaxation.” The summer camps and programs are a safe, fun and learning environment that are affordable and flexible, and staffed by enthusiastic and caring individuals. They also help to create new friendships, opportunity to meet new people, learn new things and create fond memories. “My supportive and wonderful staff including Lynne Cole, Jennifer Klein, John Bimonte, Andy DelVelcchio, Marc Russo, and Rich Gaudio along with myself and our great summer staff work together as a team to make these summer programs successful and enjoyable,” stated Pettit. “When you work as a team, everyone benefits, things get accomplished, and you have fun while getting through the hot, hazy, lazy days of summer.” For more information on summer programs and camps, summer concerts, or upcoming events and programs, please contact the recreation department at 203-

the board for the previous superintendent search. Opinions and recommendations from the faculty and staff will be heard in the first session at 2:00 p.m., followed by public officials at 3:00 p.m., representatives from school and community organizations at 4:00 p.m. and parents and students at 5:00 p.m.

Public comment During the brief public comment segment of the meeting, resident Gary Amato reiterated his strong belief that electronic blinking signal lights should be installed near the entrance of the middle school. He spoke of a recent accident in the area involving a student, warning, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got lucky this time.â&#x20AC;? He added that he hoped a new superintendent would

take the matter up with the police chief. Amato also repeated his accusation that the board brought in their attorney this past school year in an attempt â&#x20AC;&#x153;to silence public commentâ&#x20AC;? and suggested that the board violated their own rule at the previous meeting, which he was unable to attend. Staff decisions Prior to the meeting, Jerry Nolan, who has been hired by the board to assist Brozek for the next several months, arrived, but he was asked to return next month for his official greeting by the board. As a former principal of Clintonville Elementary School, Nolan is no stranger to the community. The retired educator has helped the district in the past, according to Brozek, and will oversee areas such as special education, grant writing, and expulsion hearings in his three-day-aweek capacity. Meanwhile, Brozek will serve as interim superintendent until the search for a new school system CEO is complete. Brozek is a native of North Haven, who attended elementary and junior high in town prior to graduating from Sacred Heart High School in Hamden and Salve Regina University. She returned to North Haven as an English teacher at Orchard Hill Junior High

Interim superintendent Patricia Brozek will oversee North Haven schools until a new CEO is hired.

After serving as the assistant principal from 1987-92, she was the high school principal for 15 years prior to promotion to the central office. Brozek is particularly proud of her recognition in the local Sports Hall of Fame, an award she received last November. She also stated that she is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;longest serving principal in the history of the town.â&#x20AC;? With her latest position, one might say sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done it all, but her interest does not lie in the top slot, nor does she hold the certification necessary to apply for

At the close of a meeting, the board entered executive session to discuss matters relating to personnel.

A girl asked whether it was bad to tighten her mittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Velcro strap tightly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the same way,â&#x20AC;? Borgwald responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like a glove that is tight on my hand. Others like it loose. For girls, with smaller hands, they may want it tight, so that the glove is locked down.â&#x20AC;? Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bats come in two styles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aluminum and composite. Wooden instruments are too heavy for youths, and contain smaller sweet spots, prompting use from skilled players only. Composite clubs, forged from fiber materials, produce better elasticity, and thus propel a batted ball harder and farther.

In youth softball the difference between composite and aluminum is significant, Borgwald said, adding that the difference is less in Little League baseball. A common practice, in selecting bats of proper length for a child, is to find a club measured to the kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that,â&#x20AC;? Borgwald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old wivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tale because people have differently sized legs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way to select a bat is to put it in your hands and swing, see what fits you,â&#x20AC;? he added. One way bats are categorized is by a length to weight ratio. A 30-inch club weighing 20 ounces would be considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;minus-10.â&#x20AC;? Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bats are typically minus-10 or minus-9, Borgwald said, while boys can typically handle a minus-13 to a minus-10. An attendee asked which is preferable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lighter or heavier bat? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lighter will give you

more speed, and thus more control,â&#x20AC;? Borgwald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A heavier bat gives you more performance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ball will come off the bat longer and harder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but you may struggle with the weight.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go back and forth,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I prefer a lighter bat, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to figure that out yourself.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of bats,â&#x20AC;? he continued with a laugh, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not playing well, I blame it on the bat and want to switch.â&#x20AC;? Preferably, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for a bat to be shorter, rather than

too long, according Borgwald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With bats too long, the velocity takes over, and inevitably you end up dropping the bat head every time, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be under the ball. Better to be on top of the ball then below, because on top produces grounders, and grounders have eyes and fielders make mistakes. Below results in pop-ups which can be caught easily.â&#x20AC;? Another young listener asked the difference between single and double-barreled bats. The latter, Borgwald explained, refers to bats of larger barrels, middle school

American Legion walks off with needed victory By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen

A walk-off shot made winners of North Haven over Shelton Monday, a 3-2 triumph in an American Legion summer baseball league matchup at Bailey Road Field. Providing late-inning heroics, Edison Rodriguez of North Haven American Legion Post 76 blasted a oneout, bases loaded pitch over the centerfielder’s head in regulation’s final inning, breaking a 2-2 tie. “We’re starting to hit,” said Post 76 Coach Charlie Flanagan, alluding to his squad’s cold bats during a recent seven-game skid. “We’ve struggled, but every one of these kids has put their time in, has done their work. It’s nice to see some dividends. I’m happy for these guys. We lost a lot of heartbreakers, so it was nice to see these kids come back in the 6th and 7th innings.” North Haven starter Steve Vermiglio lasted all seven innings, striking out three while yielding eight hits, three walks and two runs. Vermiglio labored, the first two innings especially, allowing numerous base runners over short spans, but continually found ways to evade greater damage. “He got behind but he came back,” Flanagan said of Vermiglio. “He gave up a cou-

ple runs but he came back. He battled the whole game. He threw 95 pitches. Our players backed him up and made a couple nice plays for him.” As has become a seasonal norm, North Haven again benefited from stellar de-

fense, an understated accomplishment considering Bailey Road Field, a bumpy, dusty and consistently unpredictable diamond. “We haven’t had a bad defensive game all year,” Flanagan said.

double to left, and would take third on a passed ball. However, Vermiglio maneuvered out of trouble, buoyed by his second baseman, Jonathan Padilla, who recorded all three outs. Padilla turned

American Legion Post 76 player Neftali Arroyo bunts during the July 12 game.

Shelton’s American Legion Post 16 struck early. Leading off the game, Dave Salemme coaxed a walk. After teammate Jim Pjura struck out, Ryan Zahornasky singled up the middle. Nick Georgalas then singled to deep shortstop. Bases loaded with no outs, Billy Eanotti grounded out to third, plating Salemme for the initial 1-0 lead. Following a bases-on-balls to Mike Manzo, Vermiglio induced a ground out from Andy Price to end a trying first inning. Post 76 remained scoreless over the first five innings but eventually solved Zahornasky, Shelton’s starter. Over six-and-a-third innings, Zahornasky struck out five while surrendering six hits, three walks, one hit batter and three runs. Shelton threatened in the second. Up first, Ryan D’Souza uncorked a lengthy

two quick, crisp throws to first on rambling grounders, and snagged a deep, lofty fly ball amidst back-peddling through a cloud of kicked-up dirt. North Haven flashed further glove dexterity in the fourth. With two outs and a Shelton runner on second, Post 16’s Mike Dew slapped a dart down the left field line. Covering third base, Juliano Nieves stretched for the stop but bobbled the ball. The result was a high throw to first, where Kevin Erbe extended 1142798

for the catch while remaining on base, making an offbalance play look easy and surely saving a run. Additional scoring proved elusive for both teams until the sixth. In the top, Shelton quickly put runners on first and second. Vermiglio got two outs before D’Souza again doubled to left, scoring Georgalas for a 2-0 advantage. With teammates on second and third, Dew bounced a ball to second, where Padilla recorded another textbook catch and throw to stop the surge. Quiet thus far, North Haven’s bats awoke in the bottom of the sixth. Padilla

followed his defensive gem with a single to center. Rodriguez then snuck a skipping double up the left field line. Christian Karnachov walked, loading the bases with no outs. Next was Nieves. As North Haven’s cheering section erupted, Zahornasky hurled a pitch past his catcher, allowing Padilla to plate on the passed ball. North Haven then attempted a suicide squeeze, but Nieves missed the bunt and Rodriguez was tagged in a run down. Making up for the miscue, Nieves lifted a double into center, scoring Karnachov for the 2-2 tie before Zahornasky sent down Post 76’s

simple single, just a sac-fly or just a passed ball for victory, Rodriguez instead crushed a pitch into unmanned depths of centerfield. As soon as the ball rocketed off Rodriguez’s bat, everybody knew it was over, a cathartic conclusion for a team previously searching for offensive spark. “I don’t want to jinx us, but the last few games, the kids have been swinging and making good decisions at the plate,” Flanagan said afterward. “We’ve just got to go from here.” With the win, Post 76 improved to 9-10.

Up first in the final frame’s bottom, Neftali Arroyo took two quick strikes before he was hit by Zahornasky. North Haven’s Devin DeCarr, mired in a prolonged slump, bounced a single into deep short, ending Zahornasky’s outing. Rob O’Leary came in for relief and walked Brian Sica.
