Ridge Road safety issues discussed By Bailey Wright The Citizen
A handful of residents spoke at the April 23 commission meeting.
At a recent public meeting, residents questioned the police chief and Board of Police Commissioners about increasing safety on Ridge Road after a fatal hit and run in March.
“I don’t really understand what’s the downfall of trying a couple speed humps … if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work, but at least we tried something,” Ridge Road resident Kristine Henson said.
In the early evening of March 11, Maureen Munzner, 57, was walking with her two children in the area of 1500 Ridge Road when she was struck by a red Ford Fusion. The car drove off and Munzner was pronounced dead soon after the crash.
Community members gathered Thursday, April 25 at the high school to watch their friends, family, teachers and town officials compete in the 15th annual adult spelling bee.

Yale-New Haven plans neuroscience center By Markeshia Ricks and Paul Bass New Haven Independent
NEW HAVEN — Yale-New Haven Hospital Monday unveiled plans to build up its St. Raphael campus with a 505,000-square foot, $838 million neuroscience center for research and treatment of diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and strokes.

Street campus. Yale School of Medicine researchers will play an active research role at the new center. At the announcement, YaleNew Haven Health CEO Marna Borgstrom said the new project tackles three goals : n Easing
the shortage of beds at the hospital so that patients need not have roommates. n Seizing
opportunities for investment in research into neuroscientific diseases. n “Moving
closer to the eradication of insidious disease” through “innovative therapies and new treatments.” “The project will be built within the existing footprint of the hospital campus, bordered by Sherman Avenue and George Street. It will shift the main entrance of the hospital from Chapel Street to George Street. An existing parking garage on Orchard Street will be extended to George Street to accommodate patients and a new 200-space underground garage will support the facility,” a hospital release stated. The new center will provide an important “link to our research,” Yale School of Medicine Dean Robert Alpern said at the event. “Where Yale stands out in the nation is in the neurosciences,” capturing the most National Institute of Health research funding. Its current research includes new ways to reduce strokes and Parkinson’s and painreduction alternatives to opioids. Yake is part of an NIH network for clinical trials and a northeast ALS clinical trial consortium. The “number-one priority” for the space his school just took over at the Alexion 100 College St. tower will involve neuroscience research, he said.

Center, slated to open in 2024, will build on the university’s nationally recognized work in neuroscience. He noted that Yale is No. 1 in National Institutes of Health funding for neuroscience and houses one of the four Kavli Institutes founded by the Kavli Foundation. It is home to one of eight Alzheimer research centers in the country as well as a leader in multiple sclerosis research and the home for where a new depression drug has been developed in collaboration with Mount Sinai. Alpern said his school’s number-one priority in the space it has taken over at the 100 College St. Alexion building will also involve neuroscience. He told the governor that not only will the new center further solidify Yale’s leading status for neuroscience but it might “help you build the economy of Connecticut by spinning out a lot of companies.”
The city’s counting on $8 million in building fees from the project over three years. There’s no understating the significance” of the new center for “long-term prosperity,” health care, and jobs, Mayor Toni Harp said at the event. She echoed Lamont’s call to improve the state’s transportation infrastructure to support economic initiatives like this one. She and Board of Alders President Tyisha Walker spoke of how “three brilliant women” who worked on the deal — they and Borgstrom “got it done.” “We’re going to get some jobs out of this” as well, Walker noted.
CCM and CBIA yet to take a stance on tolls By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff
As Gov. Ned Lamont pushes for highway tolls, groups that advocate for businesses and municipalities haven’t declared support or opposition. Both the Connecticut Conference for Municipalities and the Connecticut Business and industry Association have rarely avoided taking positions on controversial issues. But since tolls were raised in Lamont’s budget in January, neither group has taken a stance. “We’ve been quiet on tolls because we have a level of

”My own town of Cheshire took a vote,” said Sacred Heart political science Professor Gary Rose.
DeLong added that CCM wants to see a toll plan before taking a position.
“The Town Council was...opposed. CBIA doesn’t surprise me, their membership is divided. I’m a little puzzled by CCM, it’s difficult for me to explain.”
“We’ve made it clear our leadership supports this conversation (on tolls),” DeLong said. “But they don’t want to sign off until we have a plan.”

Yale New Haven President Rick D’Aquila said that the new center will allow the hospital “to provide a full spectrum of neuroscience care” from early diagnose to genetically tailored care. Currently, every brain tumor that the hospital treats is genomically sequenced; D’Aquila said the new center will ultimately allow it to expand to such sequencing for every neurological disease.

Workforce Alliance’s award will allow for the expansion of Skill Up for Manufacturing, which has already launched two five-week cycles in 2019 and has another class beginning May 6 at Gateway Community College. All graduates of the first group received at least one job offer, according to the
Advanced manufacturing is showing strong growth in Connecticut and an increasing number of workers in these careers are nearing retirement age, said state Labor Commissioner Kurt Westby. Employers are looking for workers that can fill jobs in the aerospace, medical and defense industries, he said. “Apprenticeship pipelines have proven to be an excellent way to develop skills for good-paying careers in man-
ufacturing, as well as jobs that require more than a high school diploma, but in many cases not a college degree,” Westby said. The awards are part of the state-funded Apprenticeship Connecticut initiative administered by the Department of Labor. The funds, approved by the legislature last year, are part of a potentially $50 million program that will be used by the agency, along with workforce development and educational organizations, to identify and train up to 10,000 unemployed and underemployed residents while also addressing job shortages in manufacturing and other industries. mgodin@record-journal.com 203-317-2255 Twitter: @Cconnbiz
and political appeal of implementing tolls, according to the Connecticut Mirror. Some possible changes include a small reduction in the gasoline tax, cheaper inner-city bus fares, ways to provide discounts for drivers who lack the credit or checking account necessary for an EZ pass, a list of specific transportation improvements, and limits on pricing and the number of tolling gantries, the Mirror reported. CBIA expects to issue a statement on tolls, said the organization’s president Joseph Brennan. The membership is reportedly split on the issue. “...this isn’t going to be decided within the next week or two,” he said.

matic event, what we saw was a community coming together, and in particular our first responders,” First Selectman Michael Freda said. On May 2, 2018, the South Central Regional SWAT team were engaged with a man who had barricaded himself in a home at 385 Quinnipiac Ave. when the explosion occurred from inside a barn structure located behind the home. SWAT operators were standing near the barn at the time of the blast, which occurred several hours into the situation. Nine officers, including three from North Haven, were transported to the hospital with injuries including burns, concussions, and broken bones. Public safety officials say they consider the event, which made national news at the time, to be “incredibly unique.”
Because they were on scene before full fire resources were needed, Januszewski said there was less delay for a briefing and analysis when the explosion occurred. He already knew the people involved, details of the property and home, and the situation that led to the fire. Firefighters immediately worked to suppress the ensuing fire, which threatened neighboring homes and that required monitoring through the night. The explosion occurred around 8:30 p.m. and the scene was cleared the next morning. “That incident was a catalyst for the region, and hopefully other states, to consider ... having a fire official at the scene, because you don’t know what’s going to become a fire,” Januszewski said.
Command staff from the town’s fire department, including fire Chief Paul Januszewski, was on scene at For Januszewski, the events the time of the blast because of that night also were an exthe standoff situation had ample of how the role of closed down a portion of
firefighters has changed over the years. Now more than ever, they are expected to run into potentially dangerous situations to handle medical issues and fire suppression immediately. When the explosion happened, Januszewski was three houses down the street and at first didn’t know what was burning and what was at risk. At the time, no one knew if the suspect was alive or if he would continue attacking. Police did not have any escorts available to cover Januszewski at this time when it was most vital to assess the scene and figure out what needed to happen next. So he and a fellow officer ran to the scene with no cover, and found new vantage points. This situation meant he had to ask his firefighters to do the same. They entered the scene for fire suppression with cover from officers, but without bullet proof vests or helmets themselves. “I put my guys in some pretty precarious situations that night that I never expected to have to put them in,” Januszewski said. Due to the May 2 incident,
as well as a rising abundance of school shootings in the nation, he was compelled to ask for funds to acquire a supply of ballistic equipment in the 2019-20 budget process. The ask was denied by the Board of Finance and the department is looking into other ways to acquire the protective gear. For police, this particular event highlighted the absence of a bomb tech on the SWAT team, said Deputy Police Chief Kevin Glenn, of the North Haven Police Department. Since then, he said they have provided team members with more bomb training, and established relationships with some techs in the area who can be used as consultants. Outside the SWAT team, police also saw a need to reassess mutual aid. “After this explosion, because it was so massive, injured so many people and was so unique, we received (a lot of response),” Glenn said. In fact, too much response. Due to emergency personnel’s innate willingness to show up to scenes and provide support when possible, people crowded the area and negatively affected operations, he said. He said de-

Of the three North Haven officers injured in the blast, two returned after four to six months of recovery and one was forced to retire due to his injuries. At least half a dozen other officers sustained minor physical injuries and many have felt the psychological impact, Glenn said. “The psychological impact of a surprise explosion like that… really impacted more than just injured people,” Glenn said. In the days, weeks, and months after May 2, the police department’s Employee Assistance Program provided resources, including therapy, to officers and their family members. Glenn said many took advantage of the program. Looking back, Glenn said he still feels the decisions that he and fellow commanding officers made that day were the right ones. Resident John Sayre was later identified as the remains found in the destroyed barn, along with four deceased dogs. Town records listed Deborah Sayre as the property owner. She had filed for divorce from John Sayre the month before, according to Record-Journal reporting. At the time of the incident, former Deputy Chief Jonathan Mulhern said the wife initially reported allegations of domestic violence, which sparked a police investigation and eventual SWAT response. She was not in the structure during the standoff, according to Mulhern. Sayre could not be reached for comment.

partments at the regional level have since made strides to improve how mutual aid is deployed and used.
Due to the extent of the damage, investigators were not able to identify what exactly caused the explosion. Since last May, the house and barn were razed and the property was sold late last summer. A new home has been built on the property. See Explosion, A11

Michael Freda recently published a commentary in response to “the writer” of a letter. I am that writer and I would like to respond to his misleading statements. The letter I submitted contained my fact-based opinions about the proposed 2019/20 budget which uses $2.5 million from our general fund to help finance the increased spending. My letter stated that this allocation lowers the general fund balance below the level necessary to maintain our AAA bond rating. Mr. Freda claims "this is simply not true."
4) Mathematics is determinative. Republicans are simply outnumbered by Democrats in Connecticut, and it is numerology that is driving Democrats ever further from the centrist politics of, say, Democratic Governors Abraham Ribicoff and Ella Grasso.
Mr. Freda should watch the April 2 Public Hearing during which Finance Director Swinkowski said that the fund balance would go below $8M. It is well accepted that our fund balance must be maintained at a minimum of 8 percent of our total budget in order to keep the AAA rating. With a proposed budget near $104M, this equates to a minimum fund balance requirement of $8.3M. Because Mr. Swinkowski stated the fund balance would go under $8M and with current FY surplus unknown, it seemed clear to me that the proposed budget for the next FY would put us in the danger zone. These are the facts that served as the basis of my opinion. Substantiated opinions cannot be "untrue", “fake news” or “nonsense. Mr. Freda quoted my concerns about reducing our reserves given state budget uncertainties. My opinion was based on his warnings about how future changes in state aid and other state budgetary proposals could negatively impact our town in the range of $7-22M. Mr. Freda conveniently omitted my most important quote: "In these financially uncertain times, it is wise to be fiscally conservative." I drew logical conclusions accordingly about a budget that uses, in my opinion, too much of our reserves to fund the large spending increase, especially when the state budget picture is so unclear.

5) Dominant Democrats have now reverted to an older, more politically convenient, outworn formulation: Connecticut is suffering from a revenue not a spending problem. As long as it remains possible to discharge state debt by raising revenue, Connecticut politicians who owe their seats to politically muscular organized labor and superior voting numbers need never pluck up the courage to cut spending. Among Democrats, permanent, long-term cuts in spending are political planks leading over shark infested waters.
