Concert series brought summer sounds of the big band

A woman i n t h e bright or-ange dress laughed as she danced wi th her part-ner steps away from the band-stand. They twirled and dipped to almost ev-ery swing song the big band, The Fairfield Counts, poured out.

The Fairfield Counts performed at North Haven’s concert series on the town green, Music Under the Stars July 23. The 19-per-son band played swing and jazz numbers from the 1920s and 1930s.

The Fairfield Counts’ founder, Harvey Tuckman, encouraged people to step out and dance.

“Nothing will egg a band on more than seeing people dancing,” he said.

From a father with his two daughters to a couple in their seventies who were cel-ebrating their 53rd wedding anniversary, people swung around the dance floor, and on the grass, to almost every song.

“We enjoy big band music,” Tuckman said. “Most of us grew up with it. We like to perpetuate the idea and sound of the big band. It’s like the difference between a choir and a soloist.”

He compared a four-guitar band to The Fairfield Counts. He said they both have good qualities, but big band music is so rare now. Tuckman started the band 37 years ago and

Domenico Buontempo faced his new house, unable to discuss the scene unfold-ing before him. The smoke streaming through the win-dows explained why.

The Victorian house on 32 State Street had stood since 1875. At this point, it “doesn’t look good,” said the owner’s son, Ciro Buontempo.

A call came in at 11:56, Monday, July 29, that the house was ablaze. Deputy Fire Chief David Marcarelli said that every one of North Haven’s four fire companies responded to the call.

“It ’s a shame, a nice Victorian house like that,” Buontempo’s son said . “They don’t build them like that anymore. It had a lot of history.”

Buontempo had purchased the house a few months ago. He was remodeling the house and was planning to move in a few months

after the work was completed. But by mid-afternoon, at least 50 percent of the tan house turned black, parts were crumbling and

breaking off, and the Victorian was damaged by the streams of

North Haven’s First Selectman, Mike Freda, said that while he is run-ning unopposed, he is still facing a new challenge, pushing himself to ar-rive at a great level of productivity.

“I do have an opponent,” Freda said, “a very strong opponent who I’ll have a tough time competing against. That opponent is Mike Freda. Me. That’s how I look at it.”

In the coming months, the first selectman will focus on several eco-nomic development projects, senior housing and education. His greatest challenge, he said, was to provide a high level of service with a low cost.

Democratic Town Committee Chair Walter Spader said no one in the Democratic party emerged to con-test the first selectman spot. No one

emerged who was interested in the debating and the shoe leather beat of the campaign trail. Also, the campaign would have cost money.

Spader ran against Freda two years ago for the first selectman seat. He had a “tight” campaign budget of $6,000. In order to run a competi-tive race against Freda, Spader said a Democratic candidate would need $25,000 or $30,000.

“We’re focusing on the Board of Ed this year,” Spader said, adding that the Democratic party plans to run spirited campaigns in the Board of Finance as well.

With no candidate in the first se-lectman spot, Spader said Freda is very certain to win the election. Someone can start a petition to place his or her name on the ballot, but he hasn’t “heard of any campaign emerging.”

Recently, North Haven was named one of America’s “Hidden Gems” by television program Today in America, hosted by former NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Town documents say a production engineer for the program flew into town last August, recorded footage and in July, the seg-ment aired across the country.

The video gave an overview of the town and said that the town has a low tax rate, low crime, many public amenities. In the video, Freda said the town’s goal was to provide services and amenities, such as education, public safety, economic development and library services that “enhance the lives of the citizens of our great town.”

In the coming months, Freda said he wants to continue to focus on de-veloping the town’s economy in sev-

Cigar shop and lounge highlights fine cigars

Members of North of Havana Cigar and Lounge ensconced into leather c h a i r s a n d i m m e r s e d themselves into the earthy bouquet of Perdomo ci-gars Wednesday, July 24.

E v e r y t h r e e t o s i x weeks, the cigar shop’s owners , HR and Br ian Angelico, who are broth-ers, schedule events to promote different cigar brands. It is an opportu-nity for customers to try new cigars and receive special discounts.

“It ’s trying to get ev-eryone sample multiple cigars as opposed to just having the same, say, four cigars,” said HR Angelico.

Roy K i r by, re g i o n a l sales representative for Perdomo cigars, was on hand at the cigar shop’s promotional event , an-swering quest ions and giving recommendations. He also offered customers discounts: if they bought three Perdomo c igars , they could get an extra for free.

Perdomo is a popular brand — both in the cigar shop at 55 State St. and all over the world, according to Angelico.

Perdomo cigars is owned by Tabacalera Perdomo, a company “built on three d i s t i n c t p i l l a rs : q u a l -i ty, t rad i t i o n a n d ex-cellence,” according its we b s i t e . We d n e s d ay ’s e v e n t p r o m o t e d p r e -

mium Perdomo c i gars l ike 10 th Anniversary, Habano Connecticut and Champagne Noir.

Mike D’Andrea, a reg-ular customer and mem-ber of North of Havana, heard about the event through social media and also by hanging out at the shop. He walked in know-ing that he’d try the Noir. As he enjoyed his cigar

while sitting in the shop’s lounge, he said Noir ful-filled his expectations: “I like it. It’s got a lot of fla-vor, it’s medium — just as advertised.”

W h e n c u s t o m -ers wandered into the s h o p ’s wa l k- i n h u m i -dor and asked for me-d i u m - s t r e n g t h c i ga r s , Kirby immediately rec-ommended the Perdomo

Champagne Noir, which was a lso wel l -received b y C i g a r A f i c i o n a d o M a ga z i n e , e a r n i n g a n “outstanding” rating of 91. The Champagne Noir uses a Cuban-seed Nicaraguan maduro wrapper that has been aged for around two years. The long process ensures a well-balanced smoke.

Cuba, Nicaragua and Mexico are common to-bacco-growing regions, but some might be surprised to learn that tobacco is also grown in Connecticut and used in cigars like the Perdomo brand.

One of its cigars is the Habano Connecticut, wrapped in aged Connecticut Shade, providing the cigar reveler with a smooth, creamy body and a bitter, grassy taste, Kirby said.

More than 2,000 acres in the Connecticut River Valley have produced to-bacco for cigars; this pro-duct ion surpasses 300 years, according to Cigar Aficionado, Angelico said.

However, cigar-makers have switched to South American sheet wrappers

hoped the band would bring memories back to life.

Fedele Volpe, lead trumpet player for the Counts, has played in the band for 25 years. He par-ticipates because he enjoys jazz. He played music for fun since he was nine.

“Tuckman is a very big force in running the band,” Volpe said. “He’s sort of the like the organizer who keeps things together.”

The 19 members from towns such as Fairfield, Trumbull, Orange, Norwalk — even Ossining, N.Y. — practice

once per week for three hours. They have traveled throughout Connecticut and even into New York to perform for private par-ties, weddings and sometimes for clubs. Volpe said that the Fairfield Counts do about eight gigs per summer similar to the one on the North Haven green.

One regular to Music Under the Stars said that everyone has his or her particular seats. Some arrive hours early to grab their favorite vantage point. Regular attendees said the show on July 23 had a smaller showing than usual because of a rain storm just before the concert.

One couple from Branford has been coming to Music Under the Stars for over 20 years. This couple usually attends the con-certs and shares coffee with 10 or 12 others including friends and children. The couple’s now-grown grandchildren used to attend as well.

The husband said he has seen one tree on the green grow from a young tree two hand’s lengths in circumfer-ence into a full grown shade tree. The couple said that Music Under the Stars has grown over the years as well. J’Roo’s used to be the only

vender there, the husband said, but now carts includ-ing cupcakes, icy treats, free flowers and fried food line the sidewalk entering the concert area.

Some bands performing in the series remain the same each year, and other new ones are suggested by residents, accord-ing to First Selectman Michael J. Freda, who regularly attends the weekly summer series.

This was The Fairfield Counts first performance on the North Haven green.

“The concerts are very well accepted in North Haven,” Freda

said. “It’s my goal to continue to have these concerts here each year through the end of August.”

Freda said purpose of the concert series is for people to relax, to enjoy themselves and the music, and to put aside the normally hectic lifestyle.

Music Under the Stars con-tinues every Tuesday night on the town green at 7 p.m. through the end of August.

eral areas. For example, he said the town will start to market the old Pratt and Whitney property along North Washington Avenue as a giant industrial site. In the fall, the town will receive a report detailing the economic opportu-nities along North Washington Avenue because of the growth of Quinnipiac University’s graduate programs.

Freda also said he wanted to focus on providing more senior housing, improving education and improving the parks in town.

However, the challenge, Freda said, is to accomplish this without raising taxes, but instead finding other revenue streams.

“We’ve really tried to pride our-selves in a very high customer ser-vice model,” Freda said. “I know how important that is coming from my own business career, as a CEO of my company. As the CEO of North Haven, it’s the same concept.”

P r e s i d e n t o f t h e Co n n e c t i c ut C h a p te r of Romantic Writers of America, Jamie Schmidt, said the group gives writ-ers comradeship, the abil-ity to discuss everything from their most romantic imaginings, to business strategy.

“ Th e b e s t pa r t o f CTRWA is the willingness of all the authors to share what they know with each other and support them,” said Schmidt. “It’s a very close knit and friendly group.”

Meetings are held on the second Saturday of every month at the Holiday Inn Conference Center, 201 Washington Ave. They of-ten run all day, with cri-tique sessions, workshops, local member sessions and business meetings.

The next meeting, en-titled “Pitchfest,” will be held Aug. 10. It will fea-ture a meet-and-greet with Rachael Dugas, an agent from Talcott Notch Literary. She will discuss what she looks for in a sales pitch and critique practice pitches by the members.

CTRWA consists of ap-proximately 100 members, the most prominent of which include New York Times best-selling author Jessica Anderson and USA Today bestselling author

Thea Devine.CTRWA was founded in

1981, a year after the orga-nization of the Romance Writers of America. The local chapter’s purpose, ac-cording to its website, is to support the efforts of those seeking a professional ca-reer in romance writing though information, net-working and education.

The Romance Writers of America is a non-profit association dedicated to advancing the interests of career-focused romance writers. More than 30 years old, it is an association with over 10,200 members. Based in Houston, Texas, it serves as home to 145 local and online chapters.

This year, one of the keynote speakers at the or-ganization’s national con-ference, held in Atlanta July 17 to 20, was Kristan Higgins , a New York Times bestselling author from Connecticut. One of the most prominent mem-bers of the Connecticut Ro m a n ce Wr i te rs o f America, Higgins’ pub-l i shed books inc lude “Too Good to Be True,” “Somebody to Love,” and “The Best Man.”

Schmidt said many of the Connecticut mem-bers traveled to the South to support their fellow Connecticut writer.

Fire

water attempting to pene-trate the blaze.

At the time of publica-tion, the fire department was still investigating the cause of the fire. While the department is attempting to confirm one theory for the genesis of the blaze, the cause of the fire is still un-determined, Marcarelli said.

At about 3:30 p.m., the fire was still in the house and fogging the street. The charred smell had increased to the smoky, lingering scent of a campfire. The fire trucks

hummed steadily behind the chatter of onlookers and firefighters.

At least seven fire trucks, an ambulance and a police car stood ready.

Marcarelli said the fire-fighter went to the hospital because of heat exhaustion but was released within two hours.

The fire was the toughest fire the North Haven Fire Department fought all year. The house was built with a bloomed frame construc-tion and had no fire checks. The architecture allowed the fire to hide behind walls and voids in the house.

“We spend a lot of time chasing the fire around,”

Marcarelli said. “Every time we’d open a wall or void spot, we’d see more fire.”

The house had been re-modeled over time, making the fire more difficult to con-trol. The roof had six layers of wood and shingles, taxing the fire department’s manpower and equipment.

The firefighters regained control of the blaze around 3:30 or 4 p.m., and some started to leave by 5 or 6 pm, according to fire department officials.

The surrounding homes were not damaged by the fire.

After the blaze, Marcarelli said the building inspec-tor posted the building for non-occupancy.

Kirby said, “Perdomo is a true manufacturing company; we have total quality control of the cigars.”

Perdomo supervises the growth of the to-bacco, the quality of the tobacco a l l the way through to how their cigars burn.

He said that smoking cigars is a “stress-re-l i e v e r,” s o m e t h i n g to pair with a cock-tail or a cup of coffee and enjoy on a Friday evening.

Summer style means big jewelry, prints and color

Across the fashion world summer is an exciting time. It’s a time for designers to experiment with bold col-ors and patterns. It’s a time when shoppers are willing to take more risks. The cit-izens of North Haven are no exception.

According to Kenechi Odukwe, sales associate at Rainbow, this summer is about lots of color and prints. Located at 57 Washington Ave., Rainbow has been stocking up on mint and neon items for its clientele of teen-agers and adult women.

Fashionable prints of the season include tribal print, cross print, galaxy print and floral print. Striped clothing and thin, flowing outfits made of chiffon also are in style.

“I like bright colors and tribal print,” said Jacey

Bissell, 18, of North Haven. “It’s what makes summer style more fun.”

Other trendy items this

season include crop tops, high-waisted shorts and maxi dresses, according to Vanessa Perry, store manager of Joyce Leslie, a clothing retailer for teenagers and women located at 220 Universal Drive North.

Perry said that maxi dresses in multicolor and flo-ral patterns have been espe-cially popular this year.

Mandy Hutchinson, 23, of West Haven, and Jenna Fekete, 21, of Wallingford, set out for a day of shopping to-gether, admitting that all they wanted were maxi dresses.

Accessories are in demand this summer as well, said Carla Ramirez, key carrier of Payless Shoe Source at 2 Universal Drive North. The store has seen an increase in the number of people buy-ing headbands, bracelets and other jewelry.

Perry noticed a similar trend at her store.

“Bulky, chunky jewelry with big chains is definitely in,” Perry said. “Necklaces and earrings with things like

Two white males ap-proached a vehicle in the parking lot of P.C. Richards on Universal Drive in North Haven on July 29 at 9:00 a.m. One of the males held a kn i fe to the throat of the vehicle’s driver and demanded money while the second male rummaged through the vehicle, attempting to removed the radio.

While Congress voted to reduce the interest rate for federa l subs id ized and unsubsidized loans Wednesday, July 24, it may have only provided a short-term resolution for under-graduate students as the interest rates may increase by up to 7.25 percent in the future.

Interest rates for subsi-dized loans doubled from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1 after Congress was unable to come to an agreement on legislation.

According to the Federal Student Aid website, to qualify for a subsidized loan, a person must be en-rolled at least half-time in a university as an undergrad-uate student. The univer-sity determines the amount a student can borrow and the U.S. Department of Education pays the inter-est on the loan while the student is in school; for the first six months after the student leaves school or during a period of de-ferment, the website states.

The other option is for students to take out an un-subsidized loan, which are available to undergraduate or graduate students with the school determining the loan amount. Students also don’t have to demonstrate financial need and are re-sponsible for paying the in-terest on the loan during all periods, the website states.

The new bill passed July

24 slightly increases the rate, from 3.4 percent to 3.8 percent. While the new leg-islation is seen as a victory by many, Dominic Yoia, di-rector of f inancial aid at Quinnipiac University, be-lieves otherwise.

“We’re just kicking the can down the road,” Yoia said. “It’s not changing any-thing over the long haul.”

In 2011, Connecticut was ranked fifth in the nation in student loan debt, ac-cording to the Project on Student Debt, an initiative organized by the Institute for Col lege Access & Success. The average debt for the class of 2011 was $28,783, with 64 percent of students in debt. The Department of Education a l s o i n c l u d e d Tr i n i ty C o l l e g e , C o n n e c t i c u t C o l l e g e , W e s l e y a n University, Sacred Heart University and Quinnipiac University on its list of the nation’s most expensive colleges.

The interest rates will only increase each year, Yoia said , adding that “we’re so used to these low rates that we’re not want-ing to believe they’ll go up, but they don’t have any-where to go but up at this point.”

With the new legisla-tion, the interest rates are tied directly to the 10-year Treasury note. The loan interest rate is determined by the rate of the Treasury note plus a certain percent-age — 2.05 percent for un-dergraduate students and

3.6 percent for graduate students.

There is a cap for each loan in case rates for the Treasury note increase too much. For undergraduates, the loans are capped at 8.25 percent and graduate loans are capped at 9.5 percent.

But for underg radu-ate students , based on projections made by the Co n g re ss i o n a l B u d ge t Off ice for the Treasury note, this means the inter-est rate for their loans will increase to 6.95 percent by 2017 — a percentage higher than the original doubled rate that occurred on July 1. The following year, 2018, interest rates will increase to 7.25 percent.

U. S . S e n s . R i c h a r d B lumentha l and Chr is Murphy, Democrats repre-senting Connecticut, voted against the bill.

“The Senate passed a bill that mortgages young people’s future by adding to the country’s $1 trillion in student loan debt and the federal government’s

profit off students. I am ex-tremely disappointed that young people are getting a raw deal ,” Blumenthal said in a press release . “Ult imately, this makes college unaffordable for m a ny yo u n g e r b r o t h -ers and s is ters of h igh

schoolers entering col -lege this fall — deferring, for them, the American Dream.”

Murphy said in a state-m e n t t h a t h e co u l d n ’ t support the bill because the federal government would continue to prof it off of student loan inter-

est rates , when i t ’s a l -ready diff icult for many families to afford a col-lege education.

“ L a s t ye a r, t h e fe d -eral government made a $50 billion prof it off the re p ay m e n t o f s t u d e n t loans. Why? Because the interest is higher than is necessary to run the pro-gram at a break-even ba-

sis ,” Murphy said. “The bill . . . actually makes the s t u d e n t l o a n p ro g ra m more prof itable for the federa l government , a t the expense of students, and that ’s why I can ’ t support it.”

Despite the rising in-terest rates, Mark French, director of f inancial aid with the state Off ice of

Higher Educat ion , sa id the federal loans are the best option for students because of the benef its that come with it.

“Even if i t ’s high, i t ’s still a very low loan rate. The loan is made directly to the student so there’s no co-borrower, no credit check . They’re guaran-teed to get i t ,” French said . “If they go to the m a rke t p l a ce to ge t a loan to pay for college, in most cases , students need to get a co-borrower because the non-federal loans look at income and repayment habits.”

Wi t h r i s i n g i n te re s t rates, area school guid-a n c e c o u n s e l o r s h ave b e e n wo rk i n g to e d u -cate students and their families about the f inan-cial aid process, scholar-ships and other options. At Cheshire High School, a book of local scholar-ships is given to seniors and they meet individu-ally with their guidance counselors, said Vanessa Montorsi , the guidance department chairwoman.

“We always want them to leave college with the least amount of money possible,” Montorsi said.

At Platt High School , Sue Vitcavage, director of school counseling, said f inancial aid nights are held and students receive a list of every scholarship offered. However, she ac-knowledged that the staff is trying to improve the number of scholarsh ip applications submitted.

She also said the rising interest rates for student loans is concerning be-cause students and fam-ilies will have to take out loans to afford tui t ion, which has also steadily increased each year.

“The goal of the edu-cational system is to get s tudents ready for the re a l wo rl d ex p e r i e n ce a n d o p p o r t u n i t i e s . I n many cases, that includes getting a solid college ed-ucation,” Vitcavage said. “But when you increase tuition and loan rates, it’s going to be a struggle.”

Odukwe also noted a re-vival in the popularity of long purses, a “style like the 80s,” as she put it.

As far as summer footwear is concerned, Ramirez said flats have been the biggest thing this season.

“The flats that are called Peter Pans and boat shoes are the big attractions,” she said.

While customers are still engaged in summer fashion – from maxi dresses to crop tops – many businesses are already looking ahead to the fall.

There are some interesting new looks coming up for the season, Perry said.

“Going into the fall, you’re going to see mixed patterns that you would never think of,” she said. “I just bought dresses with a mix of floral and animal patterns.”

According to Perry, the colors of the fall will be wine, beige and olive.

Jean Kaas and her late husband always taught their children the importance of planning ahead. And Jean’s family couldn’t be happier that she took her own advice.

A West Haven native, Jean moved to Masonicare’s independent living community, Ashlar Village, in 2000. After twelve enjoyable years there, Jean and her family realized she needed a higher level of care. Jean now resides at Masonicare Health Center, where residents with progressed memory loss receive specialized, round-the-clock support.

Jean’s daughter Karen says, “My brothers and I are so thankful that Mom is at Masonicare. It’s very comforting to see how much the staff cares about her. They keep her involved in activities and really enjoy her sense of humor. They treat her and us just like family.”

Jean’s family also appreciates the full continuum of healthcare services and specialists available on-site. “Thanks to the Masonicare staff and mom’s planning ahead, we don’t have to worry about a thing.”

With Mom at Masonicare, we don’thave to worry about a thing.”

Tunxis a college of perpetual chancesAs Associate Director

of Admissions for Tunxis Community College, Alison McCarthy has a front-row seat on incoming students entering the school in Farmington.

Most people would be sur-prised how diverse the student body is, she said. While 37 per-cent of the students come from New Britain or Bristol, the rest come from 167 other towns in the state such as Berlin, Southington and Plainville. The student body is made up of not only traditional college-aged students, but youth as young as 11 to adult learners as old as 80.

To her, the community college system is about the community making education accessible, a place to begin.

“As my former boss would say: ‘If we were a religious school, our name would be Our Lady of Perpetual Chances,’” McCarthy said.

Over the summer months, McCarthy’s office is helping students, who have applied at Tunxis, prepare for the first day

of the Fall 2013 semester. She has been calling students

to finalize the details and to ask if they are all set or if they need help. She does not know how many students will attend Tunxis in the fall - that will be-come known later- however 4,764 students went to Tunxis last fall, an enrollment record.

Tunxis’ website states that it offers 35 associates degrees and 25 certificates. It is the only pub-lic college in Connecticut to of-fer a degree in dental hygiene. The program draws students from across the state.

McCarthy says Tunxis is a mixing pot, bringing together professionals looking to further their careers, students headed to Harvard or Yale as well as students who are the first of their family to seek a college education.

Last week, Robert Chase, an adjunct Spanish professor at Tunxis, was teaching his night class how to use future per-fect verbs in Spanish. His class of 22 students includes college students working on college classes over the summer and

working professionals look-ing to gain proficiency in the language. Many had moved through months of Spanish classes to arrive at this point: Elementary Spanish 1, then 2 and onto Intermediate Spanish 1. Finally, this class.

After describing the future perfect tense, speaking exam-ples, writing examples on the board, Chase instructed stu-dents to try their own hand at crafting sentences describing what they will have done in the future.

Students wrote sentences, on a whiteboard, to describe sce-narios about how they want to work for a Fortune 500 company, buy a house, win the lottery or memorize the Encyclopedia Britannica. Chase corrected each sentence. He is pleased with the results.

“Beautiful. You made me proud on that one,” he told the class.

The class had been meeting three nights a week, two and a half hours each night. Chase teaches at night because he works at the Whiting Forensic Institute in Middletown as pre-trial competency monitor.

He uses Spanish on the job. If a patient is admitted to Whiting whose primary language is Spanish, he can speak to them

in the language without an interpreter.

“That’s the beauty of the com-munity college,” Chase said. “The adjunct professors are people who usually work in the field.”

McCarthy said the full-time professors at Tunxis have of-fices and office hours, but ad-junct professors bring unique perspectives and new ways of doing things.

Before teaching Spanish, Chase worked for 10 years as a minister in the Salvation Army. He said that experience carried over to his classroom.

“I think of each student as an individual that needs unique at-tention,” he said.

He says the small classroom size at Tunxis allows him to fo-cus on the needs of students.

Chase speaks the language, writes examples on the board and tries to reach different learning styles. He even inte-grates improv theater into his class time, giving students a chance to speak spontaneously in the language.

He’s seen many kinds of indi-

viduals pass through his class-room: children of immigrants who learn the language to speak to grandparents and travelers who have been on vacation, met a person, fell in love and came back to the states to learn the language.

David England, spokesman for Tunxis, said the college has experienced budget cuts over the last few years. In response, it has cut back on library hours, hired more adjunct professors and has reduced its personnel.

England said the college needs more people in student

services to counsel students who arrive and are not prepared for the demands of college.

In addition to the traditional classes held at its Farmington campus, Tunxis offers online courses, workforce training and noncredit classes. England said the college started expanding. It built a library and a new building which holds labs and new class-rooms. In late August, it will un-veil a 56,000 square-foot building with more lab space and 19 new classrooms.

“We have classes scheduled for the fall in that building,” he said.
