Hundreds of North Haven High School seniors crossed the stage Thursday evening, June 13 during the Class of 2109 graduation ceremony. “Thank you to our seniors for their combined 20,000 plus hours of community service … and good character you have demonstrated,” Principal Russell Dallai said.
“You are a great class.” Superintendent of Schools Patrick Stirk told the seniors about his own academic journey, including feeling “unoriginal” in his dream to become a teacher until he realized he was the only male in his elementary education teacher group at college. “What I found is most important, what truly makes a

Youth rugby
Horticultural show
North Haven Rugby is pleased to announce that non-contact youth flag rugby is coming to town this summer. The co-ed program is open to youngsters from North Haven and surrounding towns entering grades 49.
The Daytime Gardeners of North Haven have been busy preparing for a National Garden Club Horticulture Specialty Flower Show. The free show will take place June 28-29 in the Community Room of the North Haven library.
The six-week program begins June 24 and will be held Mondays and Wednesdays, 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Recreation Center field, 7 Linsley St.
Garden club members will exhibit plants and flowers they have been growing and preparing for at least the previous 90 days. Plants must not have any insect or disease damage. Plant material must be fresh, as no artificial material is permitted.
The fee is $65 per child, with a second child discounted fee of $55. The co-founder of this program, Alycia Washington, is a member of the U.S. national women’s rugby team. To register, visit.northhavenrugby.com. For more information, contact Owen Davis at 203-239-9717 or email northhavenrugby@ gmail.com.
Judging will be done by certified National Garden Club judges. The show is open to the public on Friday, June 28, 1 to 4:30 p.m.; and Saturday, June 29, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

REBOA Study
This research study implements an experimental treatment for cardiac arrest that may help more people survive cardiac arrest. The study is designed to test if a device called ERREBOA™ catheter can help save people whose heart has stopped. This device may help to restart a patient’s heart and protect their brain during a cardiac arrest. The procedure involves placing a catheter in the largest blood vessel of the body. A balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated to temporarily direct blood flow towards the heart and brain by blocking blood flow to the lower body.
New therapy may help more patients survive cardiac arrest.
• Because 90% of cardiac arrest patients do not survive, risks of this study are significant and include: injury to or loss of limb, death, injury to internal organs, and resuscitating a patient with brain injury who may have a poor quality of life.
There is evidence from animal studies to suggest the ER-REBOA™ catheter may be helpful, but it has only begun to be studied in humans experiencing a non- traumatic cardiac arrest, so we do not know if it will work and more research is needed. The use of the ER-REBOA™ catheter itself is not experimental. It has been used many times in the past on patients who have experienced severe trauma. It has shown to be safe in victims of trauma, but it has not been tested sufficiently in patients suffering non-trauma related cardiac arrest.
For more information or to opt-out of this study, please email your name and date of birth to REBOAstudy@yale.edu. Follow us on Twitter @YaleREBOA. HIC #2000023899

UPCOMING CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY:
• Because some patients in cardiac arrest would not be able to consent to this research, this study has been given permission by the FDA and University and Hospital Research Committee to enroll patients without their consent. • Up to 7 subjects will be enrolled, from July 2019 to July 2020

Protect against mosquitoes To improve, we need some facts
TIP: If you are also using sunscreen, apply sunscreen first and insect repellent second.
throw out any items that hold water like tires, buckets, planters, toys, pools, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers, or trash containers. Mosquitoes lay eggs near water.
While we like to think that justice is blind and that everyone is treated equally by our court system, there is very little data to support that belief. Prosecutors, for instance, make decisions every day that affect people’s liberty, but systematic compiling of data about those decisions — and whether minorities regularly receive harsher treatment — is lacking.
• Tightly cover water storage containers (buckets, cisterns, rain barrels) so that mosquitoes cannot get inside to lay eggs. • For containers without lids, use wire mesh with holes smaller than an adult mosquito. • Use larvicides to treat large containers of water that will not be used for drinking and cannot be covered or dumped out.
Another effective way to avoid WNV is to control mosquitoes outside and inside your home. Be sure to follow these tips from the CDC: • Remove standing water where mosquitoes could lay eggs. • Once a week, empty and scrub, turn over, cover, or
• Install or repair and use window and door screens. Do not leave doors propped open.
That’s why Connecticut is about to become the first state to begin collecting prosecutorial data statewide, under legislation that received rare unanimous votes in both houses of the General Assembly.
• Use air conditioning when possible.
Because prosecutors have a great deal of discretion
in how they handle cases, this effort could show how criminal cases are resolved and whether minorities are treated differently. This is consistent with previous efforts to track police encounters with minorities in various municipalities, in this state and elsewhere, in an attempt to compile hard facts about how police treat citizens of diverse racial backgrounds. “It is part of an effort to try to understand what disparities may or may not exist,” state Sen. Gary Winfield, a New Haven Democrat who co-chairs the legislature’s Judiciary ComSee Editorial, A12

One of the most effective ways to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquito bites by using insect repellent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states, “when used as directed, Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellents are proven safe and effective, even for pregnant and breastfeeding women.” Make sure to use an Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellent with one of the following active ingredients: DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, paramenthane-diol, or 2-unde-
canone. Choosing an EPAregistered repellent ensures the EPA has evaluated the product for effectiveness and safety. Always follow the product label instructions and reapply insect repellent as directed. To learn more about which repellent is right for you and your family visit: epa.gov/insect-repellents.

Summer marks the start of mosquito season, which continues through the fall. West Nile Virus (WNV) cases can occur during this time, making it important to know how to protect yourself and loved ones. West Nile is a virus most commonly spread to people by mosquito bites.

Fasano: State only begun pursuing health care savings The same day Gov. Ned Lamont was criticized for not finalizing health care savings already assumed in the next budget, the state formally solicited bids for a cost containment specialist to assist with the endeavor. Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, released a link Friday, June 14 to the request for proposals (RFP) issued last Thursday by Comptroller Kevin P. Lembo’s office. “The process to begin shaping these savings was only started today, a day after the governor and Democrats were slammed for their phantom savings and unbalanced budget,” Fasano said. “Democrat lawmakers who voted in favor of this budget believed these savings were a done deal. But the truth is none of these savings exist yet.” “This has become desperate, sad and tiresome,” responded Colleen Flanagan Johnson, Lamont’s senior advisor, who noted minority Republicans failed to propose an alternative budget during the last session, when Democrats worked to avert the $3.5 billion potential shortfall Lamont inherited.
tor Fasano would spend half as much time drafting a budget as he does press releases and composing letters.” Fasano’s comments Friday were to bolster his charges Thursday that the $43.4 billion, two-year budget adopted June 3-4 by the Democrat-controlled legislature is unbalanced and unconstitutional because it relies on nearly $460 million in labor savings that unions still haven’t endorsed. Lamont, a Democrat, has said he intends to sign the budget, which his office crafted along with Democratic legislative leaders.
pension payments to date.
legislature to be balanced.
Building savings targets into the state budget is nothing new, including savings that rely on labor negotiations. But Fasano said there has been no evidence to date that these savings are going to be achieved.
So while it’s acceptable for the state to borrow money to close an unexpected deficit at the end of a fiscal year, it’s an entirely different thing to concede before the year even begins that the budget is unbalanced — and that funds must be borrowed.
Article 28 in the Connecticut Constitution, an amendment adopted by voters in 1992 following institution of the state income tax, requires the budget approved by the
Hartford attorney Daniel Livingston, the chief negotiator for the state employee unions, said earlier this month he believes all of the planned savings can be achieved.
And the governor’s budget director, Melissa McCaw, said Thursday that the health care savings process has long been underway. The state and its worker unions already participate in a health care cost containment committee that works throughout the year to find savings options. It already has identified savings and is continuing to do so, Lamont said.
At issue are two major savings targets built into the new, two-year budget. About $180 million of the $460 million in planned savings involves reducing employee health care costs without reducing benefits. This involves creating incentives for workers to select less costly providers. It also could mean negotiating discounts when purchasing health care services and pharmaceuticals.
The rest of the savings would come from restructuring Connecticut’s contributions to the state employees’ pension fund. Contributions Johnson added that “as a 15- would rise — but not as quickly as originally year member of the Senate, Senator Fasano surely knows planned, through 2032. Taxhow the process works.

Report says 634K rode Hartford line in 1st year By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — In its first year of service, an estimated 634,000 passengers rode the Hartford Line from New Haven to Springfield, according to a report released Monday by the state Department of Transportation. The tally is about 51,000 more than originally projected for the first year. The $764 million Hartford Line is the first rail line to open for service in the state since 1990. New stations were built in Wallingford, Meriden and Berlin and sixteen cars were leased from Massachusetts, allowing 17 daily trips to Hartford, and 12 to Springfield. “We need to dramatically improve our transportation system to compete in a 21st century economy,” Gov. Ned Lamont said in prepared remarks. “The Hartford LIne is one component of creating a fast, efficient transportation system that works. It’s only been one year and ridership has been higher than expected...” The line has spurred $430 million in new development along the rail corridor in recent years, according to the study. In Meriden, the city’s transit-oriented district is transforming the half-mile area around the new train station with a 14-acre park and $150 million public and private investment in 295 apartments and 31,000 feet of commercial space.
Hartford Line has two service providers, TASI/ACI and Amtrak. Fiscal year 2019 saw $43.9 million in expenses, with revenues of $7.2 million, and $36.7 million in state and federal subsidies, according to the report. The busiest Hartford Line train stations were New Haven Union, Hartford and Springfield. Passengers are primarily buying one-way tickets, 70.7
percent, with 13.9 percent buying a U-Pass CT ticket, and 13.7 percent buying a monthly pass, according to the report. Nearly one-half of riders use the Hartford Line for social/ recreational use. Business related riders accounted for nearly four out of 10 trips, 25.4 percent commute to and from work and 14.3 percent for “business,” the report said.
“From the moment I first wrote about the Hartford Line I could tell it was going to be a success,” said Commuter Action Group President James Cameron in an e-mail. The economic impact has been obvious, he said. “Plus the time savings for
people who take the train but were previously stuck on 91,” he added. Customer satisfaction was above 90 percent in many categories, the report said. Some amenities that passengers would like to see in the future include power outlets and real-time arrival information on mobile devices.

Editorial From A8
mittee, told The Associated Press. “If we’re going to take away people’s liberty, we have to make sure there’s nothing untoward in what we’re doing.” And taking away people’s liberty is a big part of what any judicial system does. About 13 percent of the U.S. population is black and about 18 percent is Hispanic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But the incarceration rate for black men is double the rate for Hispanic men and almost six times the rate for white men. With numbers like
that, questions about a lack of fairness in the system simply ask themselves. Under Connecticut’s new law, prosecutors will compile data on prison time received, plea bargains or diversionary programs. That data will be broken down by race, ethnicity, sex and age and reported to the Office of Policy and Management, which will analyze it and report it annually to the Judiciary Committee. This law is altogether reasonable and should be productive. We’d like to think our judicial system is fair and even-handed, but without this kind of information we can’t make that claim.
