Relaxed in lawn chairsalong Bailey Road and Route103, attendees at NorthHaven’s May 29 MemorialDay Parade enjoyed the 65-unit procession, which in-cluded bands, law enforce-ment, Shriners, and a tank.

On bright, warm day, kidswaved miniature Americanflags and collected candythrown by marchers.Grillers set up shop on side-walks to offer hot dogs andburgers. Ubiquitous cartvendors sold balloons shapedlike Dora the Explorer,Pikachu and SpongeBob. Pa-rade leaders departed fromthe middle school around10:30 a.m., working their waythrough thousands of specta-tors to Town Hall, where apresentation followed thehour-long procession.

Additional marchers in-cluded Max Sinoway Base-ball League, local politicians,twirlers, North Haven Tele-vision, Jared Andrew Studio,individuals in memory ofNicole Stepen, bagpipe per-formers, the North HavenBible Church, clowns, trac-

tors, North Haven youth foot-ball and cheerleading, NorthHaven youth lacrosse, Peter’sRock Association, boyscouts, and combatants fromour country’s various con-flicts.

As always, underlying thefestive atmosphere was a re-membrance of U.S. veterans.

“This is my eighth year ofdoing this,” said parade or-ganizer and American Le-gion Post 76 commander DanRiccio, a veteran, during thepresentation. “It seems liketoday has had a great deal ofacknowledgement to our vet-erans. You’ve really come outto thank us. For that wethank you from the bottom ofour hearts.”

“Veterans gave their livesas a gift of love and patriot-ism so that we can enjoy ourfreedom,” Riccio added. “Weowe these brave warriors re-spect, honor, and gratitude.”

Throughout the day, spec-tators took time to shakehands with uniformed menand women, offering theirearnest appreciation.

Town hall officials placedNorth Haven building offi-cial Dave Maiden on paidadministrative leave lastFriday as part of an inter-nal investigation into possi-ble permit fee problems.

Maiden was informedaround 11 a.m. on May 28 ofthe decision by Lynn Sa-dosky, public works direc-tor, and William Ryan, townattorney, according to FirstSelectman Michael Freda,who authorized Maiden’sleave.

“As a result of really ac-celerating our own internalinvestigation, we decided itwas an appropriate time toput the building official onpaid administrative leave,”Freda said.

For several months lead-ing up to Friday, residentsat town meetings havecalled for Maiden to be re-moved from office duringinvestigations into hiswork. However, Freda saidhe did not want to move onMaiden too quickly.

“As part of the compre-hensive process, we neededto carefully and delicately

balance a presumption withdoing the right thing forNorth Haven,” Freda said.

Maiden had already beenabsent from work for sever-al weeks with a back injury,according to a town employ-ee, suffered from an onsitefall.

Town officials beganprobing the building de-partment following multi-ple, recent state investiga-tions into potentially un-dercharged and missingNorth Haven building per-mit fees. Hiring auditor

Board of Finance reduces defeated budget by $1.97 millionBy Kyle Swartz

The North Haven Citizen

After voters shot down aproposed $85.073 millionbudget at referendum, Boardof Finance members ap-proved an $83.1 million com-bined budget May 26 for dis-cussion at a June 7 townmeeting followed by a refer-endum on June 15.

Reductions were neces-sary following a resounding,two-to-one failure at referen-dum of the former 2010-11budget. Across town and onblogs, residents wonderedwhat would be targeted fortermination.

“We had over 200 phonecalls and emails from resi-dents offering their opin-ions,” said First SelectmanMichael Freda. “We hadphone calls in favor of cut-ting town over the Board ofEducation, and vice versa.There was no uniformity init. Everybody has their ownopinion, which can be diffi-cult because there are 24,000people in North Haven.”

“What we’re trying here is

the best variety of modifica-tion of services,” Fredaadded. “We’ve tried for ablend of personnel, over-time, and services.”

Shaved was $1.973 million:$850,000 subtracted from edu-cation and $1.173 milliongone from the town side. Ed-ucation received 42.7 percentof the total cut while townside took 57.3 percent.

“We’ve tried impactingtown across the board aseven-handedly as possible,”said board chairmanRichard Monico.

If passed, Freda said, the$83.1 million budget wouldrepresent a 1.42 mill in-crease, rather than a 3.42 millbump connected with thepreviously proposed budget.

Personnel losses includedtwo part-time public worksbulk pickup positions, onepart-time senior center em-ployee and 12 seasonal publicworks leaf-rakers. Addition-ally, two retiring full-time po-lice officers will not be re-placed for at least a year.

Eliminated also are de-partment heads’ raises, Fre-

da said. Beforehand, headswere to receive a one percentpay increase.

Bulk leaf pickup will be re-placed with a bag system.“This saves us from contract-ing out seven trucks, andeliminates 12 rakers,” Fredasaid. “Of all towns near us,North Haven apparently isthe only town offering bulk

leaf pickup.”Rather than weekly, bulk

trash pickup will now beheld every six months. Re-search showed that North

Haven was alone in offeringsuch service so frequently,Freda said. Many surround-

Special to the North HavenCitizen

Local “men in blue” hon-ored one of their own at aspecial memorial service at10 a.m. last Friday on thefront lawn of police head-quarters. The beautiful dayprior to Memorial Day week-end seemed to be a most ap-propriate occasion to dedi-cate a memorial that will for-ever stand as a symbol of theinvaluable service of the menand women who choose to“protect and serve” theircommunity. The attractivegranite monument bears thename of the sole officer lostin the line of duty in NorthHaven. The last line reads“Officer Timothy W. Laffin,Sr. – End of Watch 05-29-80.”

The ceremonies were host-ed by Chief James X. DiCar-lo, who welcomed the impres-

Rows ofpolice officers presentlyserving the community and anumber of those who hadserved in the past formed ahuman wall of honor facing

A fun and fizzy lesson for seventh gradersBy Kyle Swartz

The North Haven Citizen

Spewing 15 feet into the air,or bubbling, foaming andoverflowing, eruptions inNorth Haven middle school’svolcano contest proved enter-taining – and educational.

On May 28, approximately80 seventh graders of theschool’s red team participat-ed in the science projectevent in the school’s back-yard. Teachers graded eachof the 29 teams’ creations onseveral categories, includingdesign, originality, and out-come. Kids sat on logs andheld up numbered sheetsmarked from one to 10, rank-ing the bursts.

And so, Dagliere’s subse-quent classes brainstormedmeans to include multiple ac-ademic categories. For Eng-lish, participants had to pen afictional story about their

“They came up with all therules and regulations,”Dagliere said. “I only okayedthem. I typed it up the nextday and that was it.”

In the week-and-a-halfthat followed, groups of oneto five students plotted, builtand tested their peaks. Comecompetition-time, someworked while others didn’t –all received applause regard-less.

“Everybody should beproud of the amount of effortthey put into this even if theeruptions were not what youwanted,” Dalgiere said to hisstudents.

Two approaches stood out.One team tied Mentos to astring, so that many candiesat once could be safely low-ered into the narrow bottleopenings. A team to himself,Michael Vanacore fashioneda thin tube with a slit cut to-ward the bottom. He placed apiece of paper through theopening and stacked Mentosabove the restrainer.

With the tube atop the bot-tle, Vanacore pulled the pa-per. All the Mentos plungedinto the Cola at once, creatinga colossal eruption.

Vanacore tied with SierraWhitfeld and Veronica Sillsfor first place. Taking secondplace were Katie Forbes andAngela Yin. Third place win-ners were Sharlyn Parikh,Tala El-Hawari, Sonika Ko-mal, Mary Mattei and Adri-anna Lumbra.

Seventh grader Joey Gra-ham said he had enjoyed theproject, even though his vol-cano sputtered. “We workedso hard that it didn’t work,”he joked.

Graham’s teammate Jere-my Farina said they hadtried to combine both lavastrategies in their build. “We

tried to make it erupt withcoke and Mentos, and thentry to put baking soda in af-terwards.”

“It worked well when wetested it,” Graham added.

Graham pointed to theirmountain’s ambitious design– it was easily the largest,complete with adjoiningpinecone forests – as itsdownfall. “We were supposedto go fourth, but our volcanowas too big, so we had to golast,” he said, “and by thenour soda went flat.”

Summer won’t halt Substance Abuse Prevention Council’s activityBy David Marchesseault

Special to the NorthHaven Citizen

Although the North HavenSubstance Abuse PreventionCouncil (SAPC) has tradi-tionally followed the schooldistrict calendar, the volun-teer group recently decidedto break the trend and con-tinue its work on a 12-monthbasis. Despite the absence ofexecutive director and FirstSelectman Michael Fredadue to his efforts to deal withthe town’s budget woes,SAPC director Nancy Leddymet with the organization onthe last Wednesday of May toprovide the structure for thescheduled year-end meeting.

The hour-and-a-half meet-ing held at the high schoolcentered on the pursuit of

funding due to the presenceof a representative of theState Department of Educa-tion. Leddy welcomed ScottNewgass, who oversees pro-gramming funded under theSafe and Drug Free SchoolsAct. Newgass, an educationalconsultant who resides inHamden, advised the councilthat there was an opportuni-ty for them to obtain finan-cial support from the state inits final year of funding. Heindicated that, “About $9-10,000 is probably availablethis year, although the proj-ect has been dropped fromthe federal budget.”

Newgass said that thestate’s focus on the funding ofprevention efforts is present-ly aimed at their areas ofbiggest concerns: the illegaluse of alcohol by minors andthe increased use of marijua-

na and heroin in Connecti-cut. He indicated that it wasan unfortunate fact that theheroin available through or-ganized crime in this part ofthe country is 90 percentpure and much more potentthan most people realize. Inregard to marijuana, he said,“The THC in pot was threepercent years ago, but now itis 15-18 percent,” causingusers to “hunger for it.”

Stating that the weak econ-omy is causing the elimina-tion of much of the fundingthat was helping to fight theillegal use of drugs, Newgassadded that there continues tobe funding through “mentalhealth grants.” Leddy point-ed out to her guest that thetown had recently applied fora large Drug Free Communi-ties Grant through the coun-cil, but Freda would not

know the result until August.She added that the requiredfocus of that application wason alcohol, tobacco anddrugs. Newgass then pointedout that the state Departmentof Education itself is seeking$125,000 in funding from thefederal government, but saidthat the timeline was verytight with a deadline forstates to apply by June 7.

Community Services di-rector Geraldo Sorkin ex-plained to the group that dueto a recent change by thestate that North Haven is nowpart of the Regional ActionCouncil for the Meriden andWallingford service area,rather than the New HavenRAC, as in the past. This newconnection has already pro-vided some unanticipatedfunding, according to Leddy,who said that $4,655 wasawarded to North Haven to beutilized for the community’songoing prevention efforts.

Middle school principalPhilip Piazza spoke of thestrong interest and concernexpressed by his school’s par-ent group regarding preven-tion of substance abuse, in-ternet safety and similar so-cial issues facing kids today.It was noted that MADD has afree one-hour program avail-able for parents of studentsin grades 5-8based on thoseissues. Newgass stated thatlegislation has been passed

requiring a minimum of twoparent meeting nights for allschools, but this was clearlynot seen as an issue in NorthHaven.

In the interest of savingtime, Leddy provided copiesof the extensive grant appli-cation which she and Sgt.Mark Fasano had developedover the winter months.Among the many compo-nents, the lengthy documentincludes a 12-month actionplan that promises to buildcommunity partnershipsand broaden the council’smembership. Six strategiescontain nearly 40 specific ac-tivities planned for the or-ganization should the grantbe approved. Leddy com-mended the volunteers fortheir many contributionsthis year, but assured themthat much more work layahead.

Leddy also briefly re-viewed the responsibilitiesof the council’s SteeringCommittee since there was astrong consensus that thehard work should not be in-terrupted by the school vaca-tion. The members appoint-ed by the council to the com-mittee are as follows: ChiefDiCarlo, Chief Landisio andSchool Superintendent Quer-feld are responsible for issues

Governor, State Police call for parental vigilance during spring seasonGovernor M. Jodi Rell

asks parents throughout thestate to remain extra vigilantabout eliminating access toalcohol for their teenagersduring this prom and gradu-ation season. In addition, shereminds parents that Con-necticut has multiple lawsthat hold parents account-able for alcohol consumed intheir homes.

“Parents need to set therules – and the examples –for their teens. Sometimesthe hardest conversations tohave are the ones that keepour children safe,” GovernorRell said. “I urge all parentsto have that conversationwith their child. Set therules, save a life - take re-sponsibility.”

If parents in Connecticuthost graduation or prom par-ties for underage youth, theycan expect to face conse-quences under the state’s so-cial hosting law. Under thelaw, parents face fines andimprisonment for multipleoffenses. In addition, theycould face criminal and fi-nancial liability should anyaccidents or injuries occur

as a result of the party.Under the social host law,

passed in part due to effortsby the Connecticut Coalitionto Stop Underage Drinkingin partnership with the Gov-ernor’s Prevention Partner-ship, parents are bannedfrom allowing guests underage 21 access to alcohol intheir homes. Further, the lawrequires parents to take rea-sonable steps to stop any un-derage drinking at theirhome even if they did notprovide the alcohol.

Parents should also re-member that having the kidsstay over all night does notmake their actions any lessillegal.

“Beyond the legal ramifi-cations, it’s important to re-member that young peoplewho start using alcohol be-fore age 15 are five timesmore likely to have alcohol-related problems later in life(U.S. Surgeon General,2007),” Jill K. Spineti, presi-dent/CEO of the Governor’sPrevention Partnership.

Effective in 2006, the lawhas been enforced morestrenuously each year by

state and local police. Ac-cording to the CentralizedInfractions Bureau, in 2007police issued 75 infractions.That number climbed to 81in 2008 and 98 in 2009.

“Parents must take an ac-tive role in making suretheir kids don’t have accessto alcohol,” said Col. ThomasDavoren, Commanding Offi-cer of the Connecticut StatePolice. “Doing the rightthing for your child duringprom and graduation seasonmay not make a parent popu-lar, but it will help keep thechild alive.”

Fortunately, there are anumber of proactive stepsparents can take to ensuretheir child makes positivedecisions, and setting rulesmay not be as difficult as par-ents think. In a Liberty Mu-tual/Students Against De-structive Decisions survey,teens reported that whenparents set clear rules, it en-courages youth to drive moresafely and resist peer pres-sure. The Governor’s Pre-vention Partnership sharesthese additional tips that canhelp parents do the right

thing:1. Parents must not serve

alcohol: Allowing underageyouth access to alcohol(without directly providingit) violates Connecticut’s so-cial hosting law. Directlyserving alcohol to minors isalso a serious, arrestable of-fense.

2. Trust, but verify: Knowyour son or daughter’s itin-erary for the evening andcheck in with other adults oryour child. In this day of cellphones, it’s not unreasonableto “check in” with your sonor daughter to confirm thathe is where he says he is. Es-tablish a curfew with yourteenager based on past be-havior and trustworthiness.Discuss your expectationsand involve him or her inthese decisions.

3. Don’t forget social me-dia: Check your teenager’sFacebook, MySpace or Twit-

ter account. If you don’tknow what something means- ask. There are lots of slangterms used as code to coverdrinking and drug use, so ifyou’re unsure as to what itbeing said, check out teen-chatdecoder.com or de-coder.drugfree.org.

4. Consider throwing an al-cohol-free party: One strate-gy to keep teens safe is tohost an alcohol-free party.This too requires vigilance,as everyone entering must bechecked at the door and no-body should be allowed toleave and then return. Par-ents should also considerbanning backpacks and out-side beverages. Water bottlesand other containers shouldnot be allowed, as it’s veryeasy to substitute alcohol forthe original contents.

5. No hotel rooms: Do not

BuildingContinued from page 1

Kostin Ruffkess & Co., offi-cials have been reviewingproperties files to determineif proper fees were chargedduring construction.

Concerns first arose pub-licly in December 2009, whenseveral residents aired build-ing department anxietiesduring comment portion of aBoard of Selectmen’s meet-ing. Since then, properties

with possible permit prob-lems have included secondselectman Tim Doheny’s res-idence, Quail Run Village,Pondview Estates, StonehillEstates and Tuscan Villa.

From those five sitesalone, North Haven mayhave missed out on approxi-mately $50,500 in permit fees.State and town investigatorshave been examining addi-tional properties throughoutNorth Haven.

“We have been doing anexhaustive review here, go-

ing back several years,” Fre-da said. “This process tendsto take more time becausewe need to do things thor-oughly, properly and careful-ly to evaluate every piece ofinformation we recover,”Freda said. “That’s the rea-son this has taken so long.”

Connecticut’s state build-ing department had been in-vestigating procedural in-quiries, but Freda said hewished to expedite such mat-ters.

“The procedural side of

the investigation, donethrough the state buildingdepartment, because theydeal with 168 towns, moved alittle too slowly for my satis-faction,” Freda said. “That’swhy I engaged in our foren-sic audit.”

Freda cautioned thatMaiden’s leave does not sig-nify the investigation’s end.“We still have a ways to gohere,” he said. “The investi-gations are going back manyyears.”

Freda was still vexed by a

building department auditbegun by the previous ad-ministration. “I’m also try-ing to determine why the au-dit was withheld from thepublic last year,” he said.

Maiden’s attorney JohnGesmonde of Gesmonde,Pietrosimone & Sgrignari,L.L.C., Hamden, did not re-turn a call.

Assistant building officialElio Floriano will coverMaiden’s duties during hisleave.

PoliceContinued from page 3

which was hanging at halfmast due to the death of ayoung soldier from Water-ford who was killed inAfghanistan last week. Afteran invocation by Rev. Timo-thy A. Meehan, Pastor of St.Therese Church, PoliceChief DiCarlo welcomed theaudience and read a brief bi-ography of the 22-year-oldpoliceman who died in thiscommunity nearly 30 yearsago.

Officer Tim Laffin hadonly served his communityfor three years when his lifewas lost due to the terriblecrash of his police cruiser“while in pursuit of a want-ed suspect.” As an emer-gency medical technician,Laffin was credited with “nu-merous rescue and life-sav-ing assignments.” He waseven recognized for his ex-pertise as a softballplayer/coach in theStatewide Police League. “Hewill always be fondly remem-bered by all who knew him,”stated the Chief before intro-ducing the other guest speak-ers.

Referencing the local high-way that was named after Of-ficer Timothy Laffin, FirstSelectman Michael Fredaspoke in glowing termsabout the service that thepopular young officer hadgiven to his community inhis few short years on the po-lice force. He summed up thetragic loss of the father-to-bewith the words, “what he did,and what he could have be-come.” In regard to the manwho had demonstrated suchpromise, he reassured thefamily and citizenry repeat-edly that “his memory will

never fade.”Perhaps the highlight of

the dedication service was amoving speech delivered byRaymond Peach, who servedNorth Haven for many yearson the Police Commission.Chairman of the Commis-sion at the time of the tragicaccident, the retired bank ex-ecutive and popular long-time politician opened his re-marks saying, “It is indeedan honor for me to partici-pate in this memorable andhistoric event,” adding thathe saw the occasion as an“opportunity to be with somany friends who served thetown of North Haven withdistinction.”

In reference to the monu-ment dedicated to a life lost,Peach called it a “reminderof the risk that all men andwomen undertake every day,here in North Haven and

throughout the country, asthey perform their police du-ties.”

As if recalling a memberof his own family, the formercommissioner continued,“Tim Laffin came from awonderful family, with apleasant smile, a warm per-sonality, and a strong desireto make law enforcement hiscareer. His death in the lineof duty at a very young agewas heartbreaking.” Peachexplained that the enormoussorrow was experienceddeeply by everyone, not onlyby his own family, but by thefamily that he called hishome community. Regardingthe immediate family of theyoung victim he emphasized,“…the pain and loss thatthey experienced were in-comprehensible!”

Peach congratulated Offi-cer Michael Compare, presi-

dent of the Police Union,who had organized the day’sactivities. Compare openedhis heartfelt commentarysaying that as he preparedhis remarks, “The first wordthat came to me was sacri-fice.” He explained that itwasn’t just the huge respon-sibility that the job entails,but the “smaller sacri-fices…the late nights, miss-ing family events, and the

risks that are involved.” Hesaid that the well-knownmotto “To protect and serve”means much more than thewords themselves might tothe average person. “It’swhat we’re born to do!” hesaid with emphasis.

Startling Research Unearthed After 80 YearsValidates Latest Health Craze

The U.S. spends more money on health care than the other 50 largest countries in the world combined, yet we are ranked 37th in health. Despite this alarming state of affairs, there is an enormous healing revolution occurring. The cur-rent breakthroughs of extraordinary health recovery are heavily supported by research done nearly 80 years ago. You

the world’s best-kept health secret.

“One Hundred Percent of the Dis-eased Organs can be Traced Back to a Misaligned and Deteriorated Area of the Spine”

In performing more than 200 autopsies, pathologist Dr. Henry Winsor discov-ered that the organs determined to have failed (and were, therefore, named as the cause of death) actually had something in common. In each and every case, the nerve that supplied the diseased organ was traced back to a misaligned and deteriorated area of the spine. In other words, he showed that the health of the nerve supply to organs determines the health of the organs themselves! The nerve system is the master system of the body – it controls and regulates every function in your body. Spinal misalign-ment can cause an interference within the nerve system (a condition known as subluxation). If left undetected, sublux-ation can lead to dysfunction.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Dawn Tobin, and my purpose in practice is to educate and adjust the fam-ilies of our community back to optimal health and wellness using a completely unique approach.

When the body begins to experience abnormal functions like asthma, aller-gies, chronic pain, fatigue or lowered

some kind of nerve system interruption. The problem is this: You weren’t taught to think that way.

“If Your Spine was on Your Face, You’d Take Better Care of It!” I saw this on a marquee several years ago, and it really made sense. The den-tal profession has done such a great job teaching us that, if we don’t maintain proper dental hygiene, it can lead to gin-givitis, cavities and worse. That’s why

it’s so big! Your brain runs your whole body and communicates its “wellness messages” through the nerve system. If stress interrupts or “traps” nerve supply, your body will experience some kind of shutdown. We have found that, a vast majority of the time, the nerve system is interrupted as a result of spinal col-umn misalignment. Through a series of safe, gentle and painless adjustments, the full power of the nerve system is re-stored, generating extraordinary healing capabilities within the body. The powerthat made your body heals your body – it doesn’t happen any other way.

If you or a loved one is suffering needlessly, you have another choice. You can make the decision that millions of people around the world and many here in Connecticut are making every month. It all begins with a thorough history and consultation, including a complete spinal exam, vital nerve test-

Normally, this evaluation would cost $275. However, through the end of next week, you can receive this complete evaluation for just $25.

their teeth every day and have regularly scheduled visits with their dentist. But, while poor dental hygiene might leave you with a set of false teeth, it won’t kill you.

On the other hand, your spine and ner-vous system are a completely different story. You can’t replace either one of them.

If your spine and nervous system stop working, so do you! Until recently, body and organ problems haven’t been thought to be “spine” problems. Today, millions of people around the world, including many right here in Connnecti-cut, are making a better choice for their health and are experiencing phenomenal results.

Get the Big Idea & All Else Follows

If your body is not well and you dump medication into it, your body is now both sick and poisoned. Reaching for the medicine cabinet is just a bad habit. Fortunately, it is also becoming obsolete behavior for a growing number of fami-lies. The big idea is simple, which is why

Compare went on to say thatthe second word that came tohim was “family.” Althoughhe did not know the deceasedofficer, he said that he consid-ered him his brother, and hementioned that his fatherwas a captain in the MilfordPolice Department.

Compare then referencedan inscription on the bottomof the plaque at the base ofthe monument that quotes aleader from the Roman Em-pire named Publius Cor-nelius Tacitus, a Senator, his-torian and orator, who wrotein the first century, “In valorthere is hope.” In closing,Compare stated, “I hope thatthere will always be men andwomen willing to sacrifice, sothat people can live in safetywithout fear because of theNorth Haven Police Depart-ment.”

Lt. Stanley Lofquist assist-ed officer Compare in the ac-tual unveiling of the monu-ment, which was crafted byNolan’s Hamden Monumentfrom a large piece of graniteprovided by ConnecticutStone of Milford. Recognitionand appreciation was extend-ed to both companies by Com-pare for their generous pric-ing in support of the NorthHaven Police Union, Local3087, which funded the memo-rial and the day’s activities.

The union leader also gavespecial thanks to Phil’s Gar-den Center in North Havenfor the extensive landscapingthat accentuates the beauty ofthe site. In the final momentsof the dedication, Rev. Mee-han blessed the large stonemarker, bringing the officialceremony to a close, prior tothe police union’s provisionof a large selection of re-freshments. The assemblywas directed to an area off toone side protected by a largecanopy where many enjoyeda light meal and an opportu-nity for fellowship.

On another note of irony, a30-year veteran of the localpolice force, who happens tobe the son-in-law of Raymondand Gloria Peach, retired onMemorial Day. OfficerWilliam Joslyn, who saw po-lice work as a chance to helpothers, is headed to a new jobin security work at Yale-NewHaven Hospital.

One of the final items fordiscussion was the upcomingProject Graduation, forwhich volunteers are still be-ing sought for chaperoningthe annual senior class activ-

ity. The overnight trip to anamusement park, which isintended to keep graduatessafe, has been sponsored bythe community for manyyears.

Although steps are takenby authorities to prevent sub-stance abuse, Newgass point-ed out that a measure such as

using a dog trained to finddrugs at the event, which isknown as a “targeted sweep”is not legal. Prior to closingthe meeting, Leddy sched-uled the next “PrescriptionDrug Take Back Program”for Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 2p.m. at the North Haven Se-nior Center.

Letters to the EditorThanks for sup-porting YaccarinoTo the editor:

The Committee to ElectDavid Yaccarino to the posi-tion of State Representativefor the 87th District in NorthHaven would like to sincere-ly thank everyone who at-tended Dave’s fundraiserMonday, May 17. We had alarger than expected crowdwith over 100 people in atten-dance to show their supportfor Dave. North Haven FirstSelectman Mike Freda wasthere, along with State Sena-tor Len Fasano and formerU.S. Congressman and cur-rent U.S. Senatorial candi-date Rob Simmons. In hiskeynote speech, Dave toutedhis credentials as a life-longNorth Haven resident and asuccessful business owner.He also stressed the impor-tance of returning to poli-cies of fiscal responsibilityin Hartford, reforming the

tax code, and lowering ener-gy costs for businesses andfamilies. First SelectmanMike Freda, introducingDave as a skilled business-man with an impeccable cus-tomer service history, spokeof his excitement at the pos-sibility of working as a teamwith both Dave and SenatorFasano to bring jobs back toNorth Haven and to create amore business friendly envi-ronment. He also empha-sized the comity he had withDave and Senator Fasano asa businessman who startedfrom the bottom and ulti-mately became very success-ful. Senator Fasano told theattentive crowd that Hart-ford needs more people ingovernment like Dave, peo-ple who are not career politi-cians like Dave’s opponent,but hard-working, common-sense businessmen whoknow how to balance a budg-et and meet a payroll. Davewill work hard to representall of his constituency, not

merely those who agree withhis politics. All in all, thenight was extremely success-ful and Dave’s campaign isoff to a running start. Welook forward to having theopportunity to win your sup-port as Dave will soon bewalking around town to talkpersonally with NorthHaven residents about theirconcerns.

Support superiorschools for prop-erty valuesTo the editor:

From my perspective,what will keep North Havena place that people want tolive in is that it is a greatplace to raise kids. To do thatwe need an education systemthat supports that goal. Cut-ting the education budgetdoes not enhance our posi-tion in attracting qualityfolks to come to or even to

stay in our town. Our kidsare out of the system now,and it would be easy and self-ish to suggest to trash theschool budget. But I thinkthat is a short-sighted re-sponse that will affect ourproperty values in the longrun. If we have ways to cutthe budget without compro-mising the education to thekids (in the classroom, arts,athletics, etc.), then fine. Butto cut just to cut is not theright move. Raise the millrate to cover it. Most peoplewho live here want superiorschools. We need to supportthat and not let a vocal mi-nority reduce our propertyvalues. We have a mill ratethat I think is very competi-tive for the services we re-ceive. We don’t need to be-come the cheapest; if we did,then we do become cheap.

Summer skin cancerprevention guidelines

Seniors are very special peopleBy Paul Colella

Special to the NorthHaven Citizen

It often has been said thatwith age comes wisdom, ex-perience, and knowledge oflife as evident by the peoplewho have lived through thedecades while enduring thechallenges and accomplish-ments, the good times andthe difficult times. Theseunique individuals have es-tablished, built, and influ-enced communities to growby contributing economical-ly, politically, and socially aswell as making many coura-geous and selfless sacrifices,not only to their communi-ties, but to their country,family, friends, neighbors,and future generations.These special people arecalled senior citizens andthey are an integral part ofevery town and city.

When growing up, my sis-ter and I were told by ourparents to have respect, pa-tience, and kindness for old-er adults, beginning withour grandparents and auntsand uncles. When spendingtime with our relatives, mysister and I learned invalu-able lessons, enjoyed listen-ing to stories of years ago,and shared many goodlaughs and fine jokes. Welearned about the hard timesfaced by millions of Ameri-cans during the Great De-pression, the sacrificesmany made during WorldWar II and the other conflictsthat followed. We also weretold of the prejudices andhardships many immigrantsfaced when coming to thiscountry while struggling tofind their place in Americansociety.

Most importantly, the old-er generations are an excel-lent source of knowledge,wisdom, and experienceabout the rewards and chal-lenges that we the youngergenerations may face in ourlives. They also are wonder-

ful role models who inspireyounger people to pursuedreams, accept responsibili-ties, appreciate cultures andtraditions, and never take forgranted the things we havein our lives like freedom,democracy, and our lovedones.

Seniors have spentdecades building and shap-ing the communities we livein by paying taxes, workinghard to provide for their fam-ilies, contributing to thoseless fortunate through volun-teer work, volunteering theirtime and talents workingwith children, the disabledor those in need of assis-tance. They are involved inpolitics and always trying tomake suggestions on how toimprove their town or cityeconomically and socially.They are conscientious invoting, keeping up with andinformed about currentevents, filling the pews inchurches, synagogues, andother places of worship.Some serve as chaperonesand volunteers at localschools, civic organizations,and charitable institutionswhile others volunteer theirtime at hospitals, nursinghomes, shelters, and soupkitchens, babysitting or at-tending their grandchil-dren’s school functions orsports events.

Seniors have the compas-sion, understanding, and in-sight into what is good for to-day’s society and what is nec-essary for the future becausethey have lived and experi-enced the triumphs andtragedies of yesterday. Theyare cautious, frugal, andwise in decision-making, butunfortunately, they do findthemselves faced with diffi-culties due to hard economictimes, poor health, opposi-tion or abuse from others,loneliness and heartachefrom the loss of loved ones,or an uneasy ending living ina nursing home due to theloss of independence from

Skin cancer is the mostcommon form of cancer inthe United States, with 3.5million cases in over twomillion people diagnosedannually. Fortunately, skincancer is also one of themost preventable forms ofcancer. The Skin CancerFoundation recommendsthe following preventiontips:

Seek the shade, especial-ly between 10 a.m. and 4p.m. when the sun isstrongest. An extra rule ofthumb is the “shadowrule.” If your shadow isshorter than you are, ultra-violet (UV) exposure ishigh; if your shadow islonger, the UV exposure islower.

Do not burn. Sunburnsare serious and should beavoided at all costs. A per-son’s risk for skin cancerdoubles if he or she hadhad five or more sunburnsat any point in life. Notonly can they significantlyincrease your chances ofgetting skin cancer, but se-vere burns can make youill. For severe burns, youshould see your doctor.

Avoid tanning and UVtanning booths. Ultravio-let radiation from tanningmachines is cancer-caus-ing to humans. Indoor UVtanners are 74 percentmore likely to developmelanoma than those whohave never tanned indoors.Additionally, the moretime a person has spenttanning indoors, the high-er the risk.

Use a sunscreen with anSPF of 15 or higher everyday. For proper UVB pro-tection the Skin CancerFoundation recommendsusing SPF 30 when spend-ing extended time out-doors. For effective UVAprotection, select productsthat also contain somecombination of avoben-zone, oxybenzone, mexo-ryl, zinc oxide and titani-um dioxide.

Apply one ounce (two ta-blespoons) of sunscreen toall exposed areas, 30 min-

utes before going outside.Reapply every two hoursor immediately after swim-ming or excessive sweat-ing. This means that a six-ounce bottle of sunscreenoffers two full days of sunprotection for prolongedoutdoor activity.

Cover up with clothing,including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.Clothing can be your mosteffective form of sun pro-tection, so make the mostof it with densely wovenand bright or dark coloredfabrics, which offer thebest defense. The moreskin you cover, the better,so choose long sleeves andlong pants whenever possi-ble.

Keep newborns out ofthe sun. Sunscreensshould be used on babiesover the age of six months.Children are extremelyvulnerable to ultravioletradiation. Just one severesunburn in childhood dou-bles the chances of devel-oping melanoma later inlife.

Examine your skin fromhead to toe every month.While self-exams shouldn’treplace the important an-nual skin exam performedby a physician, they offerthe best chance of detect-ing the early warningsigns of skin cancer. If younotice any change in an ex-isting mole or discover anew one that looks suspi-cious, see a physician im-mediately. To find out moreabout how to spot a skincancer and for informa-tion on self-exams, visitwww.SkinCancer.org/self-examination.

physical or mental incapaci-ties.

It is our responsibility as acommunity of responsible,caring, and compassionateindividuals to care for, re-spect, honor, and be gratefulto our seniors. My advice topeople my age and younger isto get involved with intergen-erational programs, volun-teer at convalescent homes,help an elderly neighbor withchores around the house, vis-it, send cards or e-mails, havea friendly conversation byphone, spend quality timewith older relatives more of-ten than just on the holidays,and always listen to their ad-vice.

The next time you seeGrandma Rose, Grandpa Joe,Aunt Betty, Uncle Fred, oryour neighbor Mrs. Johnson,give them a hug, a helpinghand, and say “thank you”for who they are and all thewonderful things they havedone through the years, notonly for you but for all thosein your community. Seniorsneed to be seen, heard, re-spected, and appreciated be-cause they are the backboneand prosperity of every com-munity and this country. It isbecause of their countlesssacrifices, determination,hard work, and knowledge oflife that we of the youngergenerations have the oppor-tunity to learn, laugh, play,grow, and become productiveadults to carry on what ourbeloved older relatives,friends, neighbors, and ac-quaintances have done and topass their values, knowledge,stories, and traditions ontoour children and their chil-dren. Through sweat andtears, happiness andheartache, love and hate,peace and war, good timesand bad times, the seniorshave forged ahead makingthem a stronger, wiser, deter-mined, and very specialgroup of people I am proud tohave the privilege of know-ing.

ing municipalities had nobulk pickup, while others of-fered it sparingly.

Moreover, during a bulkpickup investigation, abuseswere discovered.

“Every week there was amattress or couch at varioushomes in North Haven,” Fre-da said. “Logic indicates thatpeople were not buying a newcouch every week.”

“Friends of people in ourtown have been droppingthings off,” Freda added.

Purchase of a new $300,000middle school boiler has beencanceled.

Board member WilliamKohlhepp suggested utilizing$300,000 of unappropriatedfund balance monies.

“We need that for the un-seen,” Monico responded. “Asthe year unfolds, if numbersare on track, maybe we cantalk then about buying someof the capital items passedon.”

Board member MichaelHallahan was thankful forwork put into budget trim-ming, but wished to adjustcertain figures. “I want to

BOFContinued from page 2

commend the departmentheads for the cuts they cameup with, and the work Mr.Freda and Mr. Monico did inan attempt to spread thepain,” he said. “But there aretwo major disappointmentshere.”

Hallahan wanted furtherNorth Haven labor unionconcessions.

“Unions here are not mak-ing the same sacrifices aspeople in the real world,” hesaid. “So many other depart-ments and people are mak-ing concessions, but unionsare not willing to be flexible,to change? I find that verydisappointing.”

Monico said that townunions were asked severaltimes for concessions, in-cluding furloughs, but, asthey are contractually per-mitted to do, they declined.

“How can we ever ask anyunion for concessions ifthere is no penalty or painfor them to say no?” Halla-han responded.

Hallahan once again is-sued a call to renegotiateunion health plans, as An-them’s 28 percent increase intown health insurance is amajor driver of increases inthe 2010-11 budget. However,

Monico and Freda said thatsuch contractual languagecan only be altered duringcollective bargaining.

“I’ve told [union heads]that as every collective bar-gaining comes up, there willbe changes,” Freda said.“Right now we have zeroleverage.”

Hallahan was unsatisfiedwith North Haven fire de-partment’s self-cuts – $19,000in funding previously put to-ward holidays, uniforms,and equipment.

“Would I be sarcastic bysaying ‘How generous’?”Hallahan said. He suggestedemptying the fire depart-ment’s overtime budget, inlight of the paramedic pro-gram providing additionalemployees.

Monico responded thatovertime pay was still neces-sary to cover injuries, vaca-tion, and personal time, andthat such cuts should be dis-cussed with the fire chiefpresent. “You can’t just slashan item to slash an item,” headded. “You have to have areason. You have to know theimpact.”

Board member JamesLianos thought the fire de-partment should at least be

questioned on overtime. “Ithink [Hallahan’s] sugges-tion has merit,” he said. “Itwould be interesting for thefire department to justify, inone month’s time, their over-time.”

After discussion on emp-tying fire department over-time, Hallahan suggestedhalving the line item.

“I’m not comfortable do-ing that,” Monico responded.“I don’t think they’re work-ing overtime for the sake ofworking overtime. I thinkthey’re doing it because it’snecessary to provide the lev-el of public safety we all ex-pect.”

“The biggest impact ontheir overtime is duringsummer,” Monico added,“when people are on vaca-tion.”

“There are now two lesspolice officers,” Hallahan re-sponded. “Is anybody talkingabout the safety compromisethere?”

Hallahan also proposed re-turning $425,000 to the Boardof Education’s budget. “Ithink that our cut is too se-vere at this stage,” he said.

Freda opposed, citing con-stituents’ apparent desire fora slimmer budget. “That in-

creases the risk of this budg-et not getting passed,” hesaid. “Another failed referen-dum would mean even moreBoard of Education cuts.”

Board members voted torestore $19,000 to the PublicWorks’ budget for a comput-er to monitor and meter saltdispersion in a salt truck.Monico believed removingthe computer would result ina loss greater than savingsgained by erasing the lineitem.

Unanimously, board mem-bers passed a $39.154 milliontown side budget. A $43.949million education budgetpassed despite “neigh” votesfrom Democrats Hallahanand Kohlhepp. The com-bined $85.073 budget passedunanimously for the June 7town meeting and June 15referendum.

TraditionsContinued from page 1

thusiastic and patriotic tothose marching in the pa-rade,” said speaker StephenWronski, a Montowese ele-mentary school fifth gradeteacher and a Vietnam Warveteran, “More so than I’veever seen.”

Parade marshal andstatewide American Legioncommander Charles Morris-

sey was first to speak. Hepointed out that while livingveterans were recognizedthrough many activities,Memorial Day is first a trib-ute to those who lost theirlives or loved ones in Ameri-ca’s defense.

“If you asked those heroesbefore they died how they’dlike to be remembered,” Mor-rissey said through tears tothe crowd gathered around awhite grandstand, “They’dsay ‘take care of my family.’

The empty seat at the dinnertable, the smaller gatheringat Thanksgiving dinner, thedaughter who has no fatherto walk her down the aisle –those are the reminders thatthose heroes are gone.”

In describing veterans’ im-pact on their country, Morris-sey quoted a saying. “It’s theveteran who salutes the flag,”he said. “It’s the veteran, notthe preacher, who gives usthe right of religion. It’s theveteran, not the reporter,who gives us the freedom ofthe press. It’s the veteran, notthe poet, who gives us thefreedom of speech. It’s theveteran, not protesters, whogive us the right to assemble.It’s the veteran, not thelawyer, who gives us the rightto a fair trial. It’s the veteran,not the politicians, who giveus the right to vote.”

“It’s the veteran whosalutes the flag, carries theflag, and is buried beneaththe flag,” Morrissey added.

First Selectman MichaelFreda retold the day’s history.In 1868, he said, General JohnLogan, then commander ofThe Grand Army of the Re-public, an assemblage ofNorthern Civil War veterans,decided to honor those whoserved in the Civil War.

“It has since become a fed-eral holiday,” Freda said.“Through the times, Memori-al Day tends to be a celebra-tion with festive parades,baseball games and cookouts.But beneath that festivefaçade, we must rememberthe true meaning of Memori-al Day: to remember thosewho made the greatest sacri-fice.”

For the 15th consecutiveyear, Wronski and AmericanLegion post 76 organized afifth grade essay contest. Ap-proximately 300 studentsacross town wrote on what itmeant to be an American. Pa-pers were produced in classonly, so that kids alone con-structed their work.

Carrie Zeng was awardedfourth place. Ariana Del Vec-chio took third place, whileDanielle Mixon was recog-nized as runner-up.

Capturing first place in2010 was Genevieve Richard-son, who read her essayaloud. She said the advantageto being American wasrights, freedoms, and values,including freedom of speechand religion, and the right to

vote.Human rights, too, was a

benefit to the U.S. “I’m veryproud to be a citizen of acountry that helps global ef-forts,” Richardson said.

Richardson also pointed toher nation’s strong army.“They are fighting for ourcountry and helping those incountries of need,” she said.

On a day which celebratedthose of his background, Ric-cio took a moment to thankother North Haven regularswho make a difference in thecommunity. He commendedPolice Chief James DiCarlo,Fire Chief Vincent Landisio,assistant public works direc-tor Victor DePalma, andNHTV executive directorWalter Mann.

Lastly, Riccio applaudedNorth Haven music directorKen Tedeschi, who led the

NHHS band in several piecesduring the program. “He’sprobably the best in thestate,” Riccio said ofTedeschi.

Afterward, DeaconRichard Santello of St.Michael’s Church in NewHaven, gave benediction.

“With somberness wepause and remember the fall-en through the decades forthe country,” he said. “Fami-lies mourn, and ponder whatcould have been. But veter-ans do not die in vain. Theirtestament gives hope, free-dom, opportunity, and vi-sion. Today their memorialurges on, encourages serv-ice, honors nobility, and stirshearts,” Santello added.“Our tribute gives thanks,calls forth and salutes good-ness.”
