A North Haven residentmay soon join Connecticut’sSupreme Court.

On Feb. 23, Governor Dan-nel P. Malloy announced hisnomination of North Havenresident Judge Lubbie Harp-er, Jr. to be an associate jus-tice of the ConnecticutSupreme Court. Judge Harp-er, if confirmed by the Gener-al Assembly, would take theplace of Justice Joette Katz,who was selected as Malloy’s

“It is a privilege to beasked to continue my workon behalf of the people of thestate of Connecticut on theSupreme Court,” said Harp-er. “I have the greatest re-spect for the justices on theCourt and will be deeply hon-ored to join them in their ef-forts to ensure fairness andjustice in our legal system.Justice Katz’s exemplaryservice to the Court leavesbig shoes to fill, and I am hon-

ored to have this opportuni-ty.”

Malloy had much praisefor Harper. “In my first selec-tion of a judicial candidate,it is a great honor to nomi-nate Judge Lubbie Harper,Jr. to the Supreme Court,”Malloy said. “Judge Harperis an experienced, talentedand fair jurist, and he will bea welcomed addition to theCourt. In his personal time,Judge Harper has given backextensively to his communi-ty and the state, and he iswell respected both insidethe legal community andout.”

Harper was nominated tothe Appellate Court in 2005by Governor Rell. He is cur-rently the chair of the Com-mission on Racial and Eth-nic Disparity in the CriminalJustice System, and is thestate’s representative to theNational Consortium onRacial and Ethnic Fairnessin the Courts.

Locals to dance under the stars for charity

Several North Haven residents and officials are partic-ipating in a charitable celebrity dance competition,partly hosted by New Haven’s Ronald McDonaldHouse (pictured above).

By Paul ColellaThe North Haven Citizen

In an upcoming event,multiple North Haven resi-dents and town and businessleaders will dance to raisemoney for charities whichbenefit youths.

“Dancing Under the Stars”is a fundraiser for NewHaven’s Ronald McDonaldHouse and Kids for Kids,Dancing for Life, Inc. On

March 11 at Yale’s Omni NewHaven Hotel, several profes-sional dancers and their am-ateur partners will dance forcharity, including LarryLazaroff, owner of Arnold’sJewelers in North Haven.

“I love volunteering andhelping those in need,” stat-ed Lazaroff. “My experienceof helping others has givenme a fulfillment that no pay-check could ever match, andI have learned new things

while meeting and workingwith great people.”

“My life would not be com-plete without my family, mycommunity, and volunteer-ing,” he added.

One of Lazaroff ’s most re-warding, and most challeng-ing, volunteer experiencesoccurred last year, when heparticipated in a similar“Dancing with the Stars Con-test” to raise money for TheRonald McDonald House.

“I danced in the contestlast year for the first time andI won the ‘Dancing with theStars Fan Favorite Award.’ Iwas a novice dancer, and Ihad such a great time and re-ceived such exceptional joyfrom the experience that I gotinvolved again this year,”replied Lazaroff. “I receivedtremendous support from theNorth Haven communitywho attended the event andall proceeds went directly toThe Ronald McDonaldHouse.”

The Ronald McDonaldHouse is a large, yellow Victo-rian mansion which servesas a “home away from home,”housing families of childrenwho are undergoing opera-

tions and long term medicaltreatments at nearby hospi-tals and healthcare facilities.The New Haven charitymakes it possible for parents,guardians and family mem-bers to have a place to staywithout the expense of a ho-tel.

Kids for Kids, Dancing forLife, Inc. is a nonprofit or-ganization established in1994 to raise money for kidsand needy children and tomotivate other youths to getinvolved and do the same fortheir peers.

Both groups are supportedby the tireless and selfless ef-forts of many businesses,private individuals, citizensand volunteers who believein giving back to their com-munity.

Lazaroff explained that in2011, he and his partner willopen the show along withthree other past participants.The main dancing and enter-tainment of the evening willbe provided by several pro-fessional dancers fromDance in Rhythm Studio in

Recently, North Haven wel-comed a new medical facilityinto town — Urgent CareCenter at 163 Universal Dri-ve.

“We’re a walk-in medicalcenter,” said UCC adminis-trative director Lina Hilliard.“You don’t need an appoint-ment. And we provide carefor the entire family.”

“We can be a good attributeto town,” she added. “We par-ticipate in most major insur-ances. Also, we can take inpatients without insurancefor a fee.”

UCC treats a variety ofcommon illnesses, includingflu, skin conditions, seasonalallergies, lacerations, frac-tures, sprains and strains,along with pink eye, insectbites, work-related injuriesand many other non-criticalinjuries. School, pre-employ-ment and sports and campsphysicals are available, as aredrug screenings, vaccina-tions and stitches.

North Haven’s Center alsoprovides travel vaccinationsfor all international destina-tions, has an on-site digital X-ray machine, EKG, two proce-dure rooms, eight examrooms and a blood drawinglaboratory serviced by NewHaven’s Hospital of St.Raphael.

“From the common cold tominor surgeries, we can offerhelp,” said Hilliard. “Ourwhole mission here is that in-stead of going to the emer-gency room and waitinghours, people can come to Ur-gent Care Center. You’re notgoing to wait for hours here.”

“If you cannot get intoyour primary care physician,you can come to us,” sheadded. “We believe in med-ical care at your convenience.We can coordinate any fol-low-up with patients’ pri-

Privately-owned by aphysician, North Haven’sUCC opens after anotherbranch found success at 109Boston Post Rd. in Orange.

“We were simply over-whelmed with the positive re-sponse from the communityin Orange that galvanizedour plans to expand our serv-ices to North Haven,” said Dr.Sanjay Aggarwal, NorthHaven UCC medical director.“This facility gives us an op-portunity to reach out thecommunity here that canbenefit from the expertise ofour very qualified physicians

and experienced medicalstaff.”

UCC will provide extendedevening and weekend hours,and non-scheduled walk-incare for minor illnesses andinjuries, according Hilliard.

UCC is located in Univer-sal Drive’s Home Depot plaza.“We’re in the busy part oftown,” Hilliard said. “Busi-

convention.”Mattai anticipated over 400

vehicles and apparatuses inNorth Haven’s parade, whichwill begin at the middleschool and finish at the Wash-ington Avenue fairgrounds.“We’re centrally-located inConnecticut, so we’re hoping

for a big turnout,” he said.“We hope to get some

guest marchers in theparade to generateinterest.”

A small carnivalwill take place atthe fairgrounds.“The key to our

success will be raisinga significant amount of

money,” Landisio said,adding that his departmentseeks $80,000 for conventioncosts.

Fundraising will include alocal advertisement book, inwhich businesses of all typescan buy pages. Companies

can also purchase specialconference sponsorshippackages, ranging from$1,500 to $25,000. “We’re look-ing for everything from cor-porate sponsors to help frommom and pop places,” Mattaisaid.

Additionally, Landisio saidthat North Haven Fire De-partment is also acceptingpersonal donations of anyamount.

“We’re getting ready to rollout all of this now,” Landisiosaid. “The hope is that peoplewill appreciate what we’vedone for them, not only in re-cently bringing paramedicservice to town, but also inthe last 100 years of provid-ing EMT and fire services.”

North Haven Fire Depart-ment has never hosted theevent. “For the last fouryears, I have been talkingwith other people who haverun conventions,” Mattaisaid. “I’ve been going to con-ventions myself for 37 years,and have learned a largeamount.”

The annual ConnecticutState Firefighters’ Associa-tion Convention and Paradehas not visited New HavenCounty since 2001, when ittook place in West Haven.

A request from Fire Chief VincentLandisio

As you are well aware, the Town of North Haven andthe State of Connecticut received significant snowfalllevels this winter. Because of the severity of the snow-fall rate, many of our fire hydrants were completelyburied by snow.

Our firefighters, both career and volunteer, workedtirelessly attempting to locate and shovel out all the hy-drants in town. Many of our efforts found hydrants thathave been damaged due to the snow removal efforts ofpublic and private entities.

The North Haven Fire Department is asking for as-sistance from its residents and businesses in identify-ing fire hydrants that may have been damaged by the se-vere winter. If you notice any deficiency with a hydranton or around your property, would you “adopt that hy-drant” and kindly notify Fire Headquarters of yourconcern. This will allow us to properly inspect the hy-drant for appropriate working conditions in a timeliermanner.

Our firefighters will continue to be diligent in our in-spections of fire hydrants and we ask you to assist us inour efforts.

Concerns may be reported to fire headquarters at(203) 239-5321, ext. 725.

“We learned about the con-test from the library’s list ofFebruary events and throughthe school system,” Hlavatyadded.

During the award presen-tation, judges sat up frontwhile LaTerza presented allchildren with certificates ofparticipation, before an-

nouncing winners. The en-tire room was filled withsmiles, laughter, applauseand picture taking. The eventnot only gave boys and girlsan opportunity to be creativeand spend time productively,but it also brought together acommunity with opportunityto utilize one of numerousservices and programs thatthe library has to offer.

“This is a real cool eventand I’m glad that I made myown cake,” stated participant

North Haven Congregational Church’s youth have an active outreach min-istry to the greater local community and beyond. Last November, our youthworked in partnership with Columbus House to raise awareness of home-lessness in the greater New Haven area, sleeping in boxes and tents invery cold weather on our church grounds. Not long after that, having beendeeply touched by the harsh conditions that homeless people have to en-dure, they took up a collection of winter coats, hats, gloves, blankets, etc.,to be donated to the needy folks that Columbus House serves. Severaldays ago our youth were cooked and served breakfast at 5 a.m. to the 12homeless men our church housed for a week for Columbus House in aministry known throughout the area as “Abraham’s Tent.” In July, they willbe taking their love of neighbor to the poor, the elderly, the handicapped,and to local children in the Appalachian Mountains, near Beckley, W. Vir-ginia. They will be working with other senior high youth from a number ofstates, representing three distinctively different Christian denominations as they engage in light duty construction and home repairs,and provide leadership for a vacation Bible school type of ministry to needy children in that community. From now through June theNHCC Youth Mission Team will be holding a variety of fundraising events to cover the costs of sending 11 youth and their adult advisorsto Appalachia, and we invite the prayers of the wider community as we prepare for this faith building, and often life-changing experience.Photo — back row: Rev.

UnderagedrinkingTo the editor:

From proms to gradua-tions, teens have plenty ofreasons to celebrate thistime of year. But no matterwhat the reason for celebrat-ing, help keep the occasionsafe for everyone by makingsure alcohol isn’t part ofyour teen’s party plans.

Parents play an importantrole in helping teens makesmart decisions, includingchoices related to alcohol.According to the 2008 GfKRoper Youth Report, the ma-jority of youth — 71 percentof 13- to 17-year-olds — sayparents are the number oneinfluence on decisions aboutwhether they drink alcoholor not.

At Dichello Distributors,Inc. we’re parents too, andwe share the same concernsas every other parent aboutthese issues. That’s why we

distribute free copies ofFamily Talk About Drink-ing, which encourages par-ents to talk with their chil-dren about underage drink-ing. In addition, our Prevent.Don’t Provide program re-minds adults that supplyingalcohol at teen parties is nev-er a good idea. To help pre-vent alcohol sales to minors,we also provide retailerswith I.D.-checking materialsand training to help themserve and sell alcohol respon-sibly.

Thanks to law enforce-ment and these kinds of com-munity-based programs,we’re making progress in thefight against underagedrinking.

We can all do our part thisprom and graduation seasonto help keep celebrationssafe.

Commentary

A child’s stepsBy Lynn Semple

Special to the North HavenCitizen

Every child is unique inhis or her own way — eachkid reaches certain mile-stones when they are ready.While many people may tellyou that your child will get iton their own time, there isstill that little voice in theback of your head that says,“Will he or she?” Also, it ishard to compare youngerchildren to your first child, oreven to your friends’ chil-dren.

One of the first major mile-stones a baby will reach isthat they can have milk. Ifyour infant was on formula(like my children), you knowwhat a cost savings it is to

North Haven Momswitch to milk.

Around the age of one,toddlers show signs of walk-ing. They start off furniturewalking, and then one day,they let go and it is, “Watchout world, here I come!” Nextis lots of “talking.” By theage of two, your child is likea little person. They under-stand a lot more and can in-teract with others more easi-ly.

One milestone I am start-ing now with my two-year-old daughter is potty train-ing. Looking back on thesame activity with my olderson, it was fairly easy. But Ihave a feeling my daughter isgoing to be more difficult.

We have her sit on the pot-ty various times a day and sofar, we have only had one suc-cess. I have a big bag ofM&M’s as her reward —maybe I need to put it in frontof her when she is sitting onthe potty so she can see hertreat.

With my son, it startedslow. But then one day, hejust got it. I was nervous to

take him out to stores, as I al-ways had to be aware of thenearest bathroom. I packedextra clothes with me in caseof accidents. Once we startedtraining, I felt we had to stickwith it. If we let a few days goby without at least trying tosit on the potty, youngstersmight forget and you areback to square one. I longing-ly picture our house withoutdiapers — it is a task I willwork very hard to achieve.Like everything else, yourchild will get it when theyare ready.

A big change in my son’sroutine came last year whenhe started preschool. Asidefrom play dates at friends’houses, or playing at thepark with other kids, thiswas the first time he was leftalone.

The first few weeks werehorrible for him (and my-self), but eventually, he un-derstood that school was justa few hours a week with kidshis own age, and that I would

come back to get him after fi-nal bell. How could playingwith new toys, doing crafts,reading books, singing songsand having a snack possiblybe a bad thing?

Those first few weeks wererough, but we lived throughit. Now he is excited to go andgets upset when he cannot(like on many, recent, unex-pected snow days). I hope hecan continue to grow andlearn before his next bigchange in another year —kindergarten.

I may need to take a tran-quilizer when that daycomes. It is one thing to havemy son “play” for a few hoursa week, but to have him goneevery day, all day? What willmy daughter and I do withourselves? Change is in-evitable, and sometimes forthe better, for this is whatkids do — they grow up (sor-ry moms, it will happen).

I am very happy my chil-

dren have each other. It maynot seem like it now, butwhen they get older, it will bea comfort to have a sibling.Their personalities are verydifferent, which is a goodthing. My son is cautious andtends to observe things goingon around him before he de-cides to join in. My daughterlikes to get right in the mixwith most situations. She isextremely curious and wantsto make sure she does notmiss anything.

Trying to spend equal timewith both children is diffi-cult. When my daughternaps, my son gets one-on-onetime with me. When my sonis at school, my daughter getsmore time with me. I try toplay games they both like, butthere are times when theyplay together so I can get din-ner started, do some laundry,etc. It is hard to describewhat being a parent means,but seeing your baby grow upwith the values you instilledin them is the true meaningof being a parent.

An Ounce of PreventionWhy take cholesterol-

reducing drugs?By Deborah Culligan, RN, MPH

Many people seem reluctant totake prescription medication forlowering their cholesterol. Themost common reasons are: 1) “Idon’t like to take medication,” or 2)“the medications are expensive.”While number two is understand-able, number one is puzzling.

No one likes to take medicine.Furthermore, liking medicine real-ly has nothing to do with why wetake the medications that we take.Medicines are not meant to be en-joyed. What people don’t seem to re-alize is that we have an arsenal ofmedications along with the knowl-edge with which to combat heartdisease and strokes. It makes nosense that people would refusemedication, based on a dislike ofmedication. And, ironically, manyof these same many people arewilling to take nutritional supple-ments or health food remedies thatare largely untested, unstudied, ex-pensive and mostly worthless!

Statin drugs for lowering choles-terol are truly among the great dis-

coveries for cardiac health. Whilepreventing a cardiovascular eventcan add years to your life, it is notjust about length of life. It is alsoabout quality of life. These drugscan allow you to continue to be ac-tive and functional, by preventingdebilitating heart disease. This iswhy they are useful even in the eld-erly.

So what do you do when yourdoctor tells you that you should be-gin taking a “statin” drug for yourcholesterol? A few years ago, hetold you that your level was o.k.Now, he says you need to lower it.Why? The suspicious among youwill think that your health careprovider has stock in a pharmaceu-tical company. However, those whokeep up with medical news willknow that the level for interventionfor treating cholesterol has beenlowered, especially with regards tothe level of bad cholesterol (LDL.)Furthermore, continuing researchhas demonstrated the success ofstatin drugs in the campaignagainst heart disease.

Most of the drugs used today totreat cholesterol are in the familycalled “statins,” but there are otherdrug families used as well. Statindrugs are usually the preferred

drugs. Simply stated, these drugswork by inhibiting a specific en-zyme that is needed to produce cho-lesterol. They can dramatically re-duce LDL levels by 20 to 60 percentand with higher doses can dramati-cally reduce triglycerides. Overall,they are relatively safe drugs, withminimal side effects.

True, some people can not takethem. (This is true for any drug.)However, most can take these drugsand gain their benefit while notsuffering from side effects. Yourdoctor will monitor blood levels ofthe drug over the course of yourtreatment. Most often, statins, likeblood pressure medications, aretaken for long periods of time.They are not drugs that you takefor a couple of weeks and then gooff.

Over time, your doctor may low-er a dose, alternate days or even tryto discontinue it, depending on oth-er interventions you have made(such as quitting smoking or in-creasing exercise). But under-stand, statins are taken for thelong-haul. They are not to be takenjust when you feel like taking them.

There are lifestyle changes suchas diet modification and exercisethat are certainly worth trying be-

fore rushing to cholesterol medica-tions. However, a health careprovider generally assesses youroverall risk for cardiovascular dis-ease. If that provider deems thatyour risk factors, which includeyour cholesterol measurement, aresignificant, the provider may notwant to wait to begin statin drugs.Lifestyle changes take time. Youmay not have the luxury of waitingthat time out.

Furthermore, medications andlifestyle changes go hand in hand.Even if you are given medication,you should still try to improve di-etary habits and physical activitylevels, as together you can achievethe “healthiest” effects.
