Town to pay former employee $42,500

By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen

In return for ending her bias allegations against North Haven, former municipal employee Leigh Gomez will receive from the town a monetary package which totals $42,500.

North Haven’s former liability carrier, Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency (CIRMA), will provide all settlement funds. Ac-

cording to a legal document signed by First Selectman Michael Freda and Gomez, she will receive $23,274.84 “as payment for alleged compensatory damages for emotional distress” and an additional $5,000 for “alleged back taxes.”

Her attorney, Eugene Axelrod of Woodbridge’s Axelrod and Associates, will re-

Indian football opens 2011 with upset win over Hillhouse

By Kevin Pataky North Haven Citizen Contributor

By blocking a last-minute field goal attempt, North Haven High School varsity football opened the 2011 regular season with a 20-19 upset of Hillhouse, Connecticut’s fourth ranked team and

last year’s Class M Champion.

On their first possession on Sept. 16 at New Haven’s Bowen Field, North Haven moved deep into the Hillhouse Academics’ territory, but junior running back See Football, page 18

Clintonville students enjoy the swing set at the school’s new playground on Sept. 20. Despite the day’s earlier rain, no flooding occurred, showcasing improvements over flood issues which plagued the former playground.

Clintonville gets new playground

By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen In past years, the recent rain would have forced Clintonville Elementary School students to remain inside due to chronic flooding problems at the building’s outdated, dilapidated playground. However, in 2011, thanks to efforts of education and political representatives, Clintonville kids can enjoy recess in a brand-new playground, even after wet weather.

“This would never have happened without Clintonville’s Parent Teacher Association,” said school principal Lauretta Dowling. “This wouldn’t have gotten done without their persistence.”

Last academic year, Clintonville’s PTA worked with town and state politicians to secure an $188,000 Connecticut Small Town Eco-

nomic Assistance Program (STEAP) grant.

Local fundraisers pushed finances collected over $200,000, and Clintonville could afford to replace its rusted playground over the summer.

Besides equipment dam-

age, the former playground suffered from flood problems so severe that rain consistently left behind soggy fields and pools of water, rendering the recre-

Clintonville held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sept. 20 for its new playground, which is named after former-Clintonville teacher Carmela Paradis (pictured, holding the scissors).

Rotary Club’s 10th annual ‘Day of Wine and Roses’ fundraiser this Sunday

By Kyle Swartz The North Haven Citizen

Last year, North Haven’s Rotary Club netted $9,000 for various charities with its yearly “A Day of Wine and Roses” fundraiser. In 2011,

the public service club is aiming to better that.

“This year, we’re hoping for a small increase over last year,” said Rotarian Luigi Nuzzolillo, owner of Forget Me Not Florists, 39 State Street, which will host North

Haven Rotary’s 10th annual A Day of Wine and Roses function on Sept. 25 from 1 to 5 p.m. “This has been growing every year.”

The 2011 fundraiser will include a competitive winetasting event, a pig roast, homemade pasta-making demonstrations, live music, exotic floral arrangements and sales, silent auctions of gourmet products, artisan cheeses and sales of wine and wine accessories. Held underneath a series of tents spread throughout Nuzzolillo’s State Street property, A Day of Wine and Roses will take place this Sunday, rain or shine.

Suggested donations are $30 per attendee. Incoming Rotary president Michael Hallahan said he thought individuals should attend for the food, drink and entertainment, a reasonably-

priced afternoon with a philanthropic aim.

“We want people to know that when they come down to our event, they will experience an enjoyable day filled with wine, food, live music, friends and good conversation,” Hallahan said. “And they will be helping to benefit the multiple causes of the Rotary Club, including our scholarship foundation.”

“Because almost everything about this is donated, just about 100 percent of the profits go toward our charities,” Nuzzolillo added. “We sold about 400 tickets last year.”

For 10 years, Nuzzolillo has provided for free the use of his shop’s grounds and employees for the function.

“We’re proud to be at this juncture to celebrate this milestone,” he said. “We will continue it in the future be-

she revealed her dreadful confrontation with Lydia Johnsonl, who admitted to Mrs. Kensington that she killed Dr. Greenville to gain possession of a scandalous letter he held in his possession.

Mrs. Kensington’s letter also said that Lydia Johnson

Friday, September 23, 2011— The North Haven Citizen

Patriots Continued from page 4

confessed to manipulating Theodore Norton and David Cobb into murdering Elizabeth Higgins and Edmund Tate, as well as getting them to try to kill Mr. Higgins, Laura Corday, Louise Bourget, Jean-Luc Tessier and Charity Chastine. Mrs. Kensington admitted to throwing hot water in Lydia’s face, causing her to run away wailing and screaming in agony.

Charity was shocked by the horrible acts committed

by Lydia. The lieutenant tried to comfort her by plac-

ing his strong hand on her shoulder.

After revealing Lydia Johnson’s crimes, the letter then addressed all the people assembled in the room. Mrs. Kensington identified each of them by name and then informed them that she possessed something each of them wanted. First, she told Lord and Lady Winfield that she had a priceless item that was in the Winfield family for generations. Upon hearing this news, both Lord and Lady Winfield were dismayed and agitated as evident in their facial expressions. Second, she told Evelyn Winchester to keep a

watchful eye on her sister Judith Fairchild, who has dangerous intentions for Honoria Noble. Then she informed Honoria and Judith that she had the portrait of Rebecca Noble, which both women wanted for different reasons.

Judith Fairchild became irritated by Mrs. Kensington’s words and demanded that Mr. Preston discontinue his reading, but her request was ignored. Mr. Preston went on reading, and Mrs. Kensington addressed Laura Corday, who she praised for redeeming herself by helping the less fortunate. She then commended Jean-Luc

Tessier for ridding the world of Monsieur Louis Monnerat and fighting Simon Blackwell, who had survived the fall off Widow’s bluff and had returned to wreak havoc on Mrs. Kensington’s life and the lives of many others.

Then with pity the letter addressed Ethan Fairchild, telling him that his mother was keeping a secret from him and his father Caleb.

Lastly, she said that if Judith was unwilling to tell her son and husband the truth, Mrs. Kensington would include evidence to verify the truth.

A confused Ethan stared at his mother while his father got up from his chair

and walked away from his wife. Honoria was taking all of this in while looking at Judith with a devious satisfaction as evident in the glare of her eyes. Mrs. Kensington addressed Louise Bourget by telling her she was a cold-blooded revolutionist who needed to return to her beloved Paris and her fellow revolutionists.

Mrs. Kensington expressed to Louise in a disdainful manner that she despised anyone who had wished harm upon his or her monarch. Lastly, she spoke to Constance and Alexander.

She revealed to Constance that Simon Blackwell confessed to her that he murdered Constance’s father at the request of her mother for her father’s indiscretions.

Then she expressed her disapproval of Constance marrying Alexander, who she described as a womanizer, a sinner who held men in bondage to make a profit, and a dangerous man with a past. She warned Constance to always be on her guard.

“We have had enough of these ramblings of a deranged matriarch who has become an outcast in her own society,” said Alexander. “I beg of you to stop reading that horrible letter,” demanded Alexander.

Mr. Preston remained silent for a moment, adjusted his spectacles, and proceeded to finish reading the letter. In her final words, Mrs. Kensington wished Charity well and had wished she was with her and Charles, and she asked Lt. Bradford to take care of Charity. She then ridiculed her son-in-law Colonel Parker by calling him inappropriate names and telling him that Charles belonged to her and that he would never see his son again. Upon hearing those hurtful words, a pitiful Colonel Parker put his hands up to his face and began to cry. Charity looked at the colonel and felt sorrow for him.

Silence filled the room once again. Unbeknownst to those in the room, someone wearing a long black veil was watching them from outside the terrace doors. To be continued . . .

Wonderful book

To the editor: Over the weekend, I had the chance to read the book “The Undefeated” by a local author Paul Colella. The book, in my opinion, was wonderful. I would encourage all of the people of this town to read the book and support our hometown author. I can’t wait for his next book!

Invaluable

To the editor: On Sept. 17, 16 girls from Quinnipiac came to both of the senior housing projects

(Parkside and Temple Pines) where I work to help with hurricane cleanup. They also helped with window washing and various other chores. Since we are a low-income authority with no government subsidies, this help was invaluable.

These lovely young girls worked tirelessly from the moment they arrived until they left. They did an outstanding job, which is very much appreciated. It certainly was so good of them to give up their time to help others. They are truly a credit to the university and to their families. Thank you, ladies.

Headaches

By V. Deborah Culligan, RN, MPH Editor’s note: This column originally ran in August of 2010.

Everyone has had a headache from time to time.

Illness, diet, medications, hormones, allergy, stress, or lack of sleep are some factors that can trigger a nagging, annoying pain in the head.

For an occasional headache, a couple of analgesic tablets (like aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen) and a few moments of quiet will knock out the headache. But for a true migraine headache or chronic, persistent headaches, this same approach will not work, and may actually make headaches worse.

There are two major categories of headaches. They are primary and secondary. A

secondary headache is a result of a health problem, ranging from the flu to a brain tumor. There are three types of primary headaches.

They are: Migraine, Tension, and Cluster. Tension-type headaches are most common. It is your everyday headache. Cluster headaches are the rarest, affecting only about 1 percent of the population and mostly males.

Severe headaches are not necessarily migraine headaches.

Migraine headaches are usually preceded by an aura, which is a strange visual disturbance, such as zigzagging lines, flashing lights or temporary vision loss. Migraines are three times more common in women than in men and tend to run in families. Depending on their frequency and severity, they can dramatically affect a person’s life.

A migraine headache can be described in many ways, depending on how colorful your vocabulary is. Generally, the pain is mild to severe, may occur on one or both sides of the head, can last four to 72 hours, and is often accompanied by nausea, sen-

sitivity to sound, light or odors.

Treatment at the aura phase or as soon as you feel one coming on may help prevent the onslaught of a migraine. Triptan drugs such as eletriptan (Relpax), sumatriptan (Imitrex) or zolmitriptan (Zomig) are often prescribed, however because they tend to constrict blood vessels, persons with a history of cardiovascular disease are usually advised not to take them. Migraine headaches may be managed by over-the-counter medications, although sometimes overuse of these medications can actually lead to increased or rebound headaches.

Some people are turning to herbal remedies and supplements to manage headaches.

Unfortunately there is little scientific evidence to evaluate their success in diminishing the pain of migraines. Most of the studies have been very small.

The five most common migraine supplement remedies are butterbur, coenzyme Q10, feverfew, magnesium and riboflavin.

You might wish to try one of these supplements but be sure to research them first.

Some have side effects that are troublesome and some

Commentary – Mark Twain: A Skeptic’s Progress

By Paul Colella Special to the North Haven Citizen

As today’s critics and prognosticators consider the impact of technology on the twenty-first century, they could ask themselves, “What would Mark Twain think?”

After all, it was the nineteenth century author and humorist who puzzled at just those sorts of situations. The year 2011 marks the 175th an-

niversary of Twain’s birth.

His uneasy, often-critical attitude toward a rapidly mod-

ernizing society became a recurring theme throughout his many literary works.

As a writer, Twain was someone with very complex and varied opinions on nineteenth century topics, including the idea of progress.

It is interesting how he addresses the idea of progress in his work, in his fiction as well as his travel literature.

Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Hannibal, Missouri in 1835, and later lived in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a neighbor and a good friend of Harriet Beecher Stowe, a minister’s

State column

How about first asking why the economy died?

By Chris Powell President Obama proposes that the federal government spend nearly half a trillion dollars in the name of creating jobs. And Governor Malloy plans to summon the General Assembly into special session next month to enact some sort of state job-creation plan.

Obama’s plan is simple.

In large part it would give federal money to the states to preserve employment in government itself, thereby sustaining the engine of the president’s own political party, government employee unions.

Malloy’s plan isn’t settled yet but the other day he told the Hartford Business Journal that it may involve workforce development, incentives for small business, and changes to state government’s economic development programs.

The governor has noted that Connecticut’s school systems are not producing as many skilled workers as the state’s businesses need.

He has criticized the vocational-technical schools for graduating too many hairdressers and not enough machinists, and he is con-

cerned that nearly 70 percent of degree-seeking freshmen in the state community college and university systems need remedial math or English or both. So there’s plenty to work on there.

But state government’s economic development policies have never been much more than rank patronage, subsidies for politically favored companies, as if the state can pick out good business ideas better than ordinary lenders can.

The Malloy administration’s “first five” initiative, giving state subsidies to companies for expanding in Connecticut, has been an expensive embarrassment, as its recipients were rewarded for doing what they already had undertaken to do.

Of course it would have been better to consider strengthening Connecticut’s business climate a few months ago, before the Malloy administration imposed on the state the biggest tax increase in its history, moving a billion more dollars per year out of the private economy and See Economy, page 20

daughter and author of the famous anti-slavery novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Twain is primarily known from the immensely popular and often controversial novels “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”

He died in 1910 at age 75.

Twain had a slippery mind in his approach to things. He was obsessed with duality, which is seen specifically in his conflicting views of imperialism that he initially supported and then later denounced. One can see that opposition in both his personal relations and his writing. He was a person who could have two contradictory notions in his mind. I think that’s what made him such an interesting writer.

Twain’s life spanned an era that saw much of the world, especially America, embrace the Industrial Revolution. And with the expansion of transportation and communication technology, there was a cultural shift from small-town, rural concerns to a large-scale national agenda, centered on bigger cities. Throughout his life, Twain was well-traveled, crisscrossed the Atlantic more than a dozen times, and journeyed by foot, horse and carriage, riverboat, and later by steamship and railroad.

He had a telephone installed in his home but did not like

to use it.

For Twain, the advances of the Industrial Revolution were the means by which the country might become a more prosperous, just and progressive society. But this affinity for progress was tainted. While he saw such achievements as potentially beneficial, his conflicted love affair with his native South and its traditions, his close observations of the natural world and his skepticism about the possibility of changing human nature made him doubtful about the effectiveness of these means or even the possibility of human progress.

In two of Twain’s nonfiction works, “Life on the Mississippi” and “Following the Equator,” he expresses his comparison and contrast of urban and rural life and his outrage for the intrusion and misery caused by modernization. In “Life on the Mississippi,” he examines the history of the river and the impact of technological progress and urban development on river life, painting sharply different portraits of urban life in the North and South. In “Following the Equator,” Twain pens a biting critique, expressing his outrage at the crimes that the Western colonial powers perpetrated on the native populations of Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Also consider his novel, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” a fable in which he shows how the well-intentioned use of technology leads to self-destruction because of humanity’s abuse and selfishness. If he were alive today, I wonder what his feelings and attitude about cable television, computers, email, social networks, the internet, cell phones, nuclear warfare and missiles, terrorism, metal detectors, airport security, and air travel would be.

Although Mark Twain lived during a time of constant change and progress, he had his fears and doubts about human progress and its effects on society and the world. For Twain, the idea of progress was both enticing and, at the same time, challenging and questionable, and he approached it with his characteristic irony and incisive commentary as evident in his many books, letters, notebooks, diaries, photographs, and drawings associated with his life and work.

With all said, it is clear that Mark Twain was a skeptic’s progress indeed.

Headaches

chocolate, food additives, climate changes, changes in sleep patterns, or hormone fluctuations. You should keep a diary of when headaches occur and what you are doing when they begin. This may help you to identify to your triggers.

There are times when a headache can be an indicator of the need for immediate medical help. For example, if a headache occurs after a head injury, is accompanied by a fever, stiff neck, or inability to move the neck, or occurs with severe vomiting, get prompt medical attention. Any headache that is very different than any one you have ever had or is accompanied by severe physi-

cal changes should be evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible.

Occasional headaches are part of life. But no one should suffer with chronic head pain that prevents them from their daily activities.

The American Red Cross is urging those who are eligible to make an appointment to donate blood and platelets and help make up the shortfall caused by weather related disruptions that came at the end of the summer, a time when the blood supply is typically low. Flooding, Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee and severe weather in many areas of the country significantly disrupted blood collections. More than 145 American Red Cross blood drives were cancelled, resulting in the shortfall of thousands of units of blood and platelets.

Thousands of blood donations are needed each and every day to meet the needs of accident victims, cancer patients, and children with blood disorders. These patients and others rely on lifesaving blood products during their treatments and rely on the generosity of volunteer blood donors. Blood has a limited shelf life and platelets have a shelf-life of just five days.

Youth football posts 3-3 week

By Ed Tantorski, Jr.

The eight grade North Haven Indians played a Saturday game at the Yale Bowl this past week, where they faced a tough Madison team and lost 30-16. It was the eighth grade team’s first regular season loss in three years.

The game was close with the Indians ending the first quarter tied at 8-8. Madison’s Tigers came out in the second quarter with a long drive of their own and took a 14-8 lead into half time. Madison then scored again in the third quarter, making it 22-8.

The Indians didn’t quit and battled back to trail 22-16 midway through the fourth quarter before a failed onside kick setup the final Madison touchdown, leading to the final score of 30-16. It was a great regular season run for the eight grade team, which is now ready to re-

group and make a final push for the playoffs and recapture their winning tradition.

The seventh grade team was defeated by East Haven 20-6. North Haven’s lone tally came on a 47-yard fumble recovery by Mike Gagliardi. CJ Somma, Bryce Brommel and Christian Ciaburro played well on defense.

North Haven’s sixthgraders improved to 3-0 with a 42-19 victory over East Haven. Zach Orth scored on a two-yard scoring run to put North Haven up 6-0. Jake Bencivengo had two touchdown runs of 50 and 60 yards, respectively. Gabe Martinez also had two end zone runs of 30 and 35 yards.

Nick Perillie capped the scoring with a 14-yard scamper. Mark Montano added three extra point kicks good for six points. Mike Salzano, Nick Sarraco, Joey DePrimo and Ricky Stober all helped anchor the defensive line.

Mike Montano crosses the five yard line heading for a touchdown for the eight-graders.

The line opens up a big hole for an advance.

The sixth-graders have a bye this week.

NH fifth grade lost to Madison 33-6. Devin Brokamer had the sole touchdown on a 20-yard run. The defense was led by Kevin Anasulis, Eli Doheney and Jesse Johnson.

Nick Dodge added an interception.

North Haven’s fourth grade A squad defeated Southington 13-0.

North Haven’s first touchdown came in the second quarter on a 60-yard run around the end by Joseph Wenzel. Jeff Williston capped the scoring with a bruising run up the middle. Jaden Watson also had a long, 60-yard run on the day. North Haven’s third consecutive shutout was lead by Jack Priebe, Patrick Lillis, Matthew Gargano and Anthony Vigliotto. Al Piscitelli and Joe Hendricks added key blocks against a large Southington defensive line.

North Haven’s fourth grade B team won this week against Madison. Final score was 24-12. Dominic Borrelli,

Damian Carrano, Joe Ranciato, Mario D’Amore and Joe Vitale all stepped up on the offensive line to help Ethan Okwuosa score three touch-

downs. Ethan had touchdown runs of eight, 35 and 75 yards.

John Degregorio had a seamless day snapping the ball and Michael Esposito made a great block in the last quarter of the game to add Donny McInnis 30-yard touchdown to the score.

The defense stepped up to hold Madison to a scoreless second half. Tyler Jacques and Christopher Hansen contained are outside while Joe Urtel, Jaden Luedee and Kyle Rollier made great tackles for loss of yards. Joe Vitale also had two fumble recoveries to help the Indians defeat Madison.

The boys helped set up the area, made sandwiches, filled water bottles, set up food and fruit and generally cheered on the riders. According to one of the riders, “The boys were awesome.” It was a great day for one and all. Photo: The NHHS Hockey Team accompanied by new head coach, Tom Roche.

Jalon White was hit hard and lost a fumble. The Indians forced a quick punt, which was short, and then moved right back into scoring position, but missed a field goal.

Academic Andre Anderson then ran it 80 yards for a touchdown to give Hillhouse a 6-0 lead. The home team recovered an onside kick and moved down to the goal line for what looked like a sure-fire second score, but the Indians defense stuffed a fourth down attempt and North Haven took over on downs just inches from their own end zone.

The Indians ate up most of the second quarter by pounding the ball up the middle, moving 65 yards into Academic territory before turning possession over on downs.

Hillhouse used the half ’s fi-

North Haven scored first in the third quarter after senior quarterback Joe Schwab busted through the middle and scampered 11 yards for a touchdown. Senior place kicker Jake Scafariello kicked the extra point to cut the Hillhouse lead to 13-7.

The Academics responded with a swift score on a 57yard touchdown pass from Je’Vaughn Moore to Mike Washington to up thier lead to 19-7. The two-point conversion by Hillhouse was stopped, which eventually proved to be very critical at the end of the game.

North Haven’s next drive ended with a long punt by Schwab, as the Indians’ special team unit pinned Hillhouse back at their one-yard line.

After forcing a punt, North Haven capitalized by converting multiple fourth down opportunities before White appeared to be trapped behind the line of scrimmage inside the red zone. On third-andgoal from the 16, White threw

Scafariello drilled the extra point to put North Haven up 20-19 with 1:44 to play.

But the game was far from over. Hillhouse took over on their 38-yard line and moved down to the Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 25-yard line before coming up against a fourth down and long. Athletic Jeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Vaughn Moore zig-

zagged his way for 21 yards and spiked the ball to stop the clock and set up a last ditch field goal attempt with three seconds left on the clock. The Indians, however, stood tall and blocked the kick to preserve the onepoint win as players, coaches

and fans poured onto the field to celebrate.

Schwab had 30 carries and 144 yards and White had 24 carries for 110 yards for North Haven. The win puts the Indians at 1-0 and drops the Academics to 0-1. Today, North Haven will stage its

first home game of the season, taking on the Green Dragons from Hamden.

Economy Continued from page 13

into a government whose policies have suppressed private-sector employment for two decades. Aside from any better schooling that comes out of it, any state government jobs initiative will probably serve only to dress up the tax increase.

Rather than enact new patronage, it might be more useful for government to ask why private-sector job cre-

ation has collapsed. The country used to be pretty good at creating jobs; people came here from all over the world for a chance to work.

Many people can remember even when Connecticut was the most prosperous state and was gaining population.

What happened?

Is it, as former Labor Secretary Robert Reich suggests, a matter of a maldistribution of income in favor of the wealthy, the weakening of the middle class, the destruc-

tion of their purchasing power?

How about the financialization of the economy, which has been criticized by Ralph Nader and many others, the manipulation of money to make more money via bogus financial instruments without producing anything of value, and the manipulation of markets by powerful financial interests to draw wealth away from the public and give it to a small minority?

What about the manipulation of interest rates by the Federal Reserve, another form of political patronage, which drives the boom-andbust cycle?

Is it the failure of federal regulation of the largest market participants? The very financial houses that are now deemed “too big to fail” and lately have received bailouts and other special treatment from the government were deregulated in 1999 by legislation supported by both political parties.

Republicans like to blame excessive government regulation for the rise in unemployment. Many regulations indeed are petty, but few employers today are not hiring because of overregulation.

They’re not hiring because sales are down and not com-

ing back.

The decline of the private economy does seem to correlate closely with the growth of government generally — government having, unlike private enterprise, more incentive to be inefficient, to please special interests and to overpay its beneficiaries, than to be efficient to serve the public better. The most prosperous part of the country is now Washington, D.C., and its suburbs. There is never any recession there — and thus not much reality either.

Can a market economy survive as government starts claiming half the gross national product? Can there even be a market economy now with government intervention in the economy be-

During Monday’s function, PTA member Kathleen Kessler spoke on their collective accomplishment. “I had people tell me I was crazy because of all the time and effort that we had to put into this,” she said. “We built a playground that is a dream.

Freda address Rotary Club on Irene Courtesy of David Marchesseault, Rotary PR

At a special breakfast meeting in the Town Library, First Selectman Michael Freda, honorary member of the North Haven Rotary Club, recently gave the club membership an update on the Town’s effort to recover from Tropical Storm Irene.

He explained that as of Aug. 30, 21 percent of the population (2,185 homes) had remained without power, adding that during the height of the storm that number had been closer to 7,000 homes. Fifty-three of the roads in town were closed or had limited access due to downed trees and power lines. As is common, the process of tree removal and clean up of debris by Public Works crews was hindered by the downed wires.

However, Freda was pleased that he had been able to arrange for United Illuminating to loan one of its crews to assist the Public Works Department in opening up the roads. Expressing pride in the Town’s work crews, he assured everyone that the department was working very hard to return North Haven to normalcy, as quickly as possible.

Girl Scouts of Connecticut continues to offer many exciting ways for girls to participate in Girl Scouts and experience its leadership programs. This special year celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts, which will be commemorated with many fun events and activities.

From a Girl Scout Daisy in Kindergarten learning about her environment and making new friends, to a Girl Scout Ambassador in High School interested in traveling to Costa Rica and planning for college, the Girl Scout program will help her discover herself and her values, connect with others, and take action to make the world a better place.

The 100th celebration of Girl Scouting continues throughout the year, allowing new and returning members to get involved through a variety of activities. For information about a recruitment event near you, how you can become a Girl Scout volunteer, or how Girl Scouts of Connecticut can benefit the girl in your life, visit www.gsofct.org or call 1-800922-2770.

On Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the North Haven Substance Abuse Action Council and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to Fire Headquarters at 11 Broadway, North Haven. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

DEA in conjunction with the state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States conducted National Prescription Drug Take Back Days on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010, and April 25, 2011. Nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the nation participated in these events, collecting more than 309 tons of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.

Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash— both pose potential safety and health hazards. Turning in your unused prescription drugs keeps our water clean.

Reports of trace amounts of prescription medicines being found in drinking water supplies across the country have prompted public interest in how medications are disposed of. Proper disposal of medication is a significant way to lower the risk of groundwater contamination.

For questions, please contact Nancy Leddy, Youth Services Administrator, (203) 239-5321, ext. 610.
