Dozens of masks hung like deflated, shrunken heads on the racks at Spirit Halloween, a seasonal retail superstore that dealt with everything Halloween. Here, you could pick up a sexy nurse cos-tume, skeletons in plastic bags and for a $49.99 “adop-tion fee,” you could take home your very own zombie baby named “Isabella.”

Weeks before, this location on Universal Drive in North Haven was the location of Xpect Discounts. But the store closed and now Spirit Halloween’s banner par-tially covered the holes and stains where the sign “Xpect Discounts” was attached to building. By Nov. 3, with the end of the haunting season, Spirit Halloween will move out, leaving the spot vacant.

B y n ex t we e k , t h e Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce will offer more services and a greater net-work to its members.

On Oct. 15, the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce and the Quinnipiac Chamber will start collaborating, of-fering a larger network of businesses, providing more services. The two chambers will keep their names and still staff their own respective of-fice spaces.

The Quinnipiac chamber, with its 540 member com-panies in North Haven and Wallingford, is the largest non-metropolitan chamber in the state. It is affiliating with The Greater New Haven Chamber, the 2,000 member chamber that represents busi-nesses in 15 cities and towns surrounding New Haven. It is the nation’s third oldest busi-ness organization, started in 1794.

“This new affiliation allows chamber members from both organizations to keep their

local identity while expand-ing on the many programs offered by each chamber,” said Len Matteo Jr., chairman of the New Haven Chamber’s executive board. “Member companies can expect greater efficiencies of their respec-tive organizations and in-creased opportunities to help their business grow.”

The announcement of the affiliation comes while President of the Quinnipiac Chamber, Robin Wilson, has begun the process of step-ping down. At an economic development breakfast Sept. 26, she announced her retire-ment from serving as pres-ident of the chamber, a post she has filled for over 25 years. She will retire in steps over the next few months, she said

In an interview with The Citizen, Wilson said she wanted to leave with the feel-ing that she was doing the best thing possible for the members of the chamber.

The Quinnipiac Chamber “is going to be bigger and bet-ter,” she said.

The application to permit a recycling center transfer station at the old Circuit-Wise location at 400 Sackett Point Road was withdrawn late last week. The action came in a letter from the lawyer representing Global

Environmental Services/John’s Refuse Recycling, which had sought to open the recycling center.

Members of the pub-lic who opposed the recy-cling center stood in front of the community rec cen-ter on Linsley Street before Monday night’s meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission began. Some

expressed surprise about the withdrawal of the appli-cation and some said they were angry they hadn’t been notified.

The text of the letter from Bernard Pellegrino, the law-yer, was read at the meeting, criticizing North Haven cit-izens who opposed the proj-ect as having “intentionally distorted the process and

used those methods to in-cite fears among other members of the public.” He said citizens who said mu-nicipal waste would have been recycled were simply wrong. “We said it 100 times but they put stuff like that into their f lyers to cause fear and panic amongst the townspeople,” he said.

Commission members

were critical of Pellegrino’s letter. Theresa Ranciato-Viele and James Giulietti both stated that public in-put is critical to the issues brought before the board and residents were partici-pating in town government in an appropriate manner.

The environmental remedi-ation of the former Pharmacia and Upjohn Company site is going smoothly and soon, both tidal and inland wet-lands will be created on the property that sits by the Quinnipiac River.

During the Board of Selectman meeting Oct. 3, Nick Andreopoulos, senior manager of Pfizer Global Engineering, gave the yearly update on the cleanup of the site.

“There’s been a lot of activ-ity since 2011, a lot of prog-ress,” he said.

Pfizer is in the middle of a cleanup of the property that will take years to complete. In the near future, the company will focus on ecological res-toration. Andreopoulos said the company will create wet-lands on the eastern part of the property. It will also cre-ate trails that run through the land.

Andreopoulos said the company is installing a hy-draulic barrier wall “to pro-vide hydraulic separation between ground water and the river.” The design is com-plete, and the construction is underway.

For years, the 78-acre

property was the home of companies that manufac-tured chemicals that went into products like dyes, pho-tographic chemicals, per-fumes and cosmetics and agricultural herbicides. The Pharmacia Corperation owned the site.

In 1993, manufacturing stopped on the property and a decade later, Pfizer, Inc. ac-quired Pharmacia, and thus, became responsible for the property in 2003.

The years of manufac-turing left the site con-taminated with chemicals. Andreopoulos said dense, non-aqueous phase liq-uids (DNAPL) were in the ground. DNAPL liquids are heavier than water and they do not mix with the ground-water. When spilled, they will sink down and rest on the bedrock.

Currently Pfizer is us-ing “novel technology” to clean the site, according to Andreopoulos.

First Selectman Mike Freda said he has had devel-opers in his office interested in the site. After the property is cleaned up in six to seven years, there will be 15 acres that can be developed. The developers are interested be-cause the site is near the spot where North Haven may have a train station built along the New Haven to Springfield Rail Line, Freda said.

“I think the future here is incredibly bright in light of the train station,” he said.

It’s easy to miss the new methadone treatment facil-ity in town. Located where Sackett Point Road intersects State Street, the facility run by the APT Foundation sits back from the street. The building has no sign adver-tising the facility.

Inside, a security guard wearing a florescent yellow vest stands in a corner. In the middle of the room, a table with chairs clustered around stands next to a coffee station.

When APT purchased the building, it did a complete renovation of the interior, creating the coffee station, creating places for clients to sit and talk, said APT CEO Lynn Madden, because it was trying to develop a commu-nity that fosters recovery.

“The space is really about promoting that in every way,” she said.

On April 29, the facility opened its doors in town. Despite concerns from resi-dents who worried that once the center opened it would create issues in the area, offi-cials from the town and APT said the facility has been peaceful so far. The police ha-ven’t been called once to the location, they said.

However, one resident complained about the facility during the September Board of Selectman meeting, saying since it opened, she has seen more strange people in her neighborhood.

In the coming weeks, APT will hold an official rib-bon-cutting ceremony for its North Haven location and it will schedule meetings with a citizen’s advisory board, to monitor the relationship between the facility and the community.

The North Haven location is one of three methadone treatment facilities that the APT Foundation runs. The organization’s mission state-ment is “to promote health and recovery for those who live with substance use dis-orders and/or mental illness.”

The North Haven location provides services such as counseling and treatment for patients dealing with opiate addiction and metal illness. APT relocated one of its facil-ities to town because many of the 900 clients it serves from

that clinic came from North Haven and Wallingford.

“That’s why we were look-ing there, in that community, because we were serving a lot of members of that commu-

nity,” Madden said. Before APT came to North

Haven, some residents be-came concerned. Madden said in response to a request, the town and APT scheduled

a public meeting last year to discuss the clinic.

“It was a conversation. People had questions and we

School success has many facets The North Haven school

year is well underway with teachers and students settling into the routine and rhythms of classes. The North Haven Citizen recently spoke with Marie Santore, language arts consultant at Green Acres Elementary, about her work with teachers and students and also asked her advice on how parents can help their children be successful in the new school year.

As a language arts con-sultant what was your role in preparing for a new school year?

I have been managing the language arts budget as well as distributing all the new materials to our teachers that have come in. I have also been assessing the needs of the students by reviewing the Connecticut Mastery Scores with the teachers. We work together to evaluate what their class will look like for the year to help them be pre-pared for the needs of their

students. We talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the class and brainstorm ideas on how to best address any challenges we may have.

What can parents do to help their children get into school mode or keep them on track?

Get them to school on time and help them be ready to learn. The transition into

school mode can be tough these first few weeks, as everyone is used to sleeping in. Try to have your kids get to bed early and make sure they have a good break-fast. Be a cheerleader at home, so they come to school ready and excited to learn.

What are the first few weeks like at t h e e l e m e n t a r y level?

It’s unbelieveable. It’s like the excite-ment before a football game. The teachers are excited and wel-coming and everyone

is just jittery and ready to go. As educators, it’s our goal that our kids feel that the school is a safe and happy en-vironment, as well as a place of learning and joy.

Are there any new pro-grams you are looking for-ward to implementing this year?

In the past , we have worked with the library on

a “one school, one read” ini-tiative where everyone in the school reads, or has read to them, the same book and we incorporate different ac-tivities to go along with that book. This year, we are look-ing to expand this and hold a “one town, one read” pro-gram in the spring. We will again be working with the library and hope to have all four elementary schools par-ticipating. This year’s book will be “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” which will celebrate its 50th anni-versary in 2014.

How can parents help their children succeed at school?

It’s so important for them to have conversations with their kids about what they did at school and then fol-low up with action. For ex-ample, if your child reads a special book in class, re-read that book at home and talk about it. It’s important to celebrate their learning. It really makes such a dif-ference when parents take a few minutes of time to listen to their children about what they did that day and become involved in their learning experience.

tried really hard to answer those questions,” she said.

Madden said many resi-dents came up to her after-wards, thanking her, saying they were no longer con-cerned about the clinic.

In the next few weeks, the clinic will officially open with a ribbon cutting ceremony, said APT board chairman David Parachini.

Parachini said in the time that it has been serving cli-ents, the clinic has generally been quiet, that he’s heard no concerns from the police chief, and the organization keeps in close contact with the first selectman’s office.

“We’re happy to be a part of the North Haven commu-nity,” he said.

The organization was look-ing for ways to decentralize from its New Haven loca-tions, to bring APT’s services closer to here people live, work and go to school. North Haven was the organization’s first opportunity.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, there are 20 opiate treatment programs in the state. Four facilities are con-centrated in the city of New Haven.

While the South may have its meth, Connecticut and the rest of New England has its heroin and oxycontin.

“Connecticut has a history of being a high opiate use state. We rank right at the top,” Parachini said, adding that there is no sign the issue will abate anytime soon.

First Selectman Michael Freda said the area around the methadone clinic is gen-erally peaceful. At a Board of Selectman meeting Sept. 16, Freda said only once have police responded to an inci-dent near the clinic. A fend-er-bender happened at the intersection in front of the clinic, he said.

The Citizen tried to con-tact the North Haven Police for this story. Results were unsuccessful.

The first selectman’s com-ments were prompted by a resident who spoke at the public comment section of the meeting to complain about the clinic.

“Hello, my name is Dawn.

I live on Hartford Turnpike,” she said, adding that she’d noticed strange people walk-ing around her neighborhood, people passed out on the corner and taxi cabs parked along her street. “I feel like a prisoner in my own home. Everything has to be in lock-down because I’m scared,” she said.

Freda said the business is operating legally. He invited Dawn to sit on a panel work-ing with the concerns resi-dents have about the clinic.

“I’d love to have you part of the citizen’s advisory panel,” Freda said, “where you’d meet directly with APT and ex-press concerns on an ongo-ing basis.”

Dawn said she would think about it.

Then she asked, “Do you plan on anything else come into State Street, like home-less shelters?”

“There’s no initiative on that,” Freda said, adding there has been no discussion and no proposals from the APT Foundation.

“To be perfectly candid with you, Dawn,” Freda said, “that’s about the best I can do. The town has no jurisdiction to evict a business that is pay-ing taxes.”

After the selectman’s meeting, The Citizen sched-uled a follow-up meeting with Dawn. But when this

reporter arrived, Dawn can-celed the meeting. Dawn, who lives almost a mile away from the methadone clinic said, “I don’t want my name out there. I want to stay anonymous.”

When asked if effects of the clinic could be felt a mile away, the chairman for the APT Foundation was skeptical.

“I’d say that would be very unusual,” Parachini said. Bus service is available on State Street and stops in front of the methadone clinic, and so he said he thinks that not many of the clinic’s clients would use cab service.

Two new laws will help some people with being able to vote, according Jackie MacKnight, co-vice president of the League of Women Voters of Hamden-North Haven.

One law will simplify voting for people who have a permanent physical disability. It will be possi-ble to register once for an absentee ballot and auto-matically receive absentee ballots for all other elec-tions. Request the form from the Town Clerk. A letter from a physician cer-tifying physical disability is required.

The other law allows same day voter registra-

tion. Individuals will be able to register to vote and to vote in elections the same day. Voters can go to town hall, register, and vote at town hall (without hav-ing to return to the polling place).

The League of Women Voters of Connecticut has brochures on “Election Day Registration” and “Important Change for Voters with Disabilities: Permanent Absentee Ballots,” available in English and Spanish.

Other activities include photos in the pumpkin patch, face painting and games, and Keith Michael Johnson - The Bubble Guy at 5:15 p.m. in the gym.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

First Selectman Michael Freda has announced that North Haven will hold a Halloween “Trunk or Treat” event on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the North Haven High School parking lot lo-cated at 221 Elm Street. Rain or inclement weather date will be the following Saturday, Nov. 2.

Halloween Trunk-or-Treat provides a safe en-vironment for families to enjoy Halloween fun. Costumed children trick-or-treat outdoors by going from car trunk to car trunk to get their bag filled with

“We have received many requests to hold the Trunk or Treat due to the success of this event last year”, Freda said. “Ghouls, gob-lins and ghost of all ages will enjoy this fun and safe activity, so come and join your community neighbors for some Halloween fun.”

T h e N o r t h H a v e n Congregational Church Music Board announces the Pierpont Concert Series 2013-2014 season. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Pierpont Concert Series.

Founded in 2003 by then-music director Kevin Mack, the concert series was developed as a way to honor the generosity of the Rev. James Pierpont of New

Haven nearly 300 years ago to the settlers of what is now known as the North Haven Congregational Church. The mission of the series is to bring a variety of high qual-ity Connecticut musicians to the North Haven community to enhance the artistic and spiritual lives of its residents.

The f irst concert on Oct. 19, “An Evening with Laurence Capezzone and Friends,” offers original composed Contemporary

Christian music in the Country/Bluegrass genre best described as “Americana all the way.“ A local musician, Laurence “Pepi” Capezzone, presents his songs of faith and life experi-ences centering on the message of God’s love.

Bring the family, bring your friends.

All concerts begin at 7 p.m., with season tickets now on sale. Tickets can be pur-chased at the church office (203-239-5691) or at the door. A reception in Carroll Hall will follow each concert to meet the musicians and en-joy refreshments.

A ham dinner will be of-fered before the Oct. 19 con-cert for an additional cost. Call the church office (203-239-5691) details.

N o r t h H a v e n Congregational Church was officially recognized in May 1718 by petition to the General Assembly. The Ecclesiastical Society of the North Parish of New Haven, parent of the Congregational Church, peti-tioned the General Assembly for recognition on Nov. 2, 1716. The church sits on land originally bequeathed by Rev. James Pierpont in December 1714.

Commentary

Rev. Thomas Hooker feted with eccentric parade

The Rev. Thomas Hooker is generally recognized as the founder of Connecticut and his statue is on the grounds of the Old State House in Hartford. Since there were no photos or

portraits of him, the sculp-tor used pictures of various descendants as a guide in creating his likeness.

Hooker was well edu-cated at Cambridge but soon ran afoul of ecclesias-tical authorities in England. He wanted to purify the church - hence the word

By Ralph Lord RoySpecial to The Citizen

Puritan - and felt that the Reformation there had not gone far enough in remov-ing liturgical and creedal accretions that, in his view, had corrupted the Church over the centuries. Like many other Puritans he first fled to Holland, where re-ligious freedom flourished, and then immigrated in 1633 to the new Massachusetts Bay Colony. He lived in New Towne (later renamed Cambridge) where he be-came pastor of its historic First Parish Church.

Soon he was involved in a heated dispute over whom should be permitted to vote in matters effecting both church and state. Hooker ar-gued for universal manhood suffrage, at odds with John Cotton, an influential Boston minister, who insisted that only faithful church mem-bers who owned property

were qualified. As a result, in 1636 Hooker and about 100 followers traveled west and settled in Hartford. Soon the towns of Wethersfield and Windsor were organized, and in 1639 freemen in the three communities ratified the “Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.” Some his-torians have declared this document to be the first written constitution known to history and a major cor-nerstone in the gradual development of American democracy. Its impact upon our national Constitution, adopted nearly a century and a half later, helps explain why Connecticut is known as the Constitution State.

These early Puritans were affiliated, of course. with what we know today as Congregationalism, and in many Connecticut com-munities a Congregational

church, often constructed of wood, painted white, with a steeple pointing heaven-ward, stands alongside the village green. These edifices are a continuous reminder of those early settlers who courageously crossed the treacherous Atlantic in frag-ile vessels nearly 400 years ago to freely practice their faith. Sadly, they were not always tolerant of religions differing from their own. Even so, the Puritans bravely faced the dangers and rigors of frontier life and estab-lished, however flawed, the principle of government of, by and for the people. The large majority of these congregations, each inde-pendent, joined with the Evangelical and Reformed Church in 1957 to form the United Church of Christ, re-

Parade

garded by many as the most progressive of the mainline Protestant denominations.

Humor now character-izes Hartford’s observance of Thomas Hooker Day each autumn. The parade in the afternoon has been described by one local ob-server as “hands down the weirdest, most made-up, rag-tag, cut loose, high-spirited, Mardi Gras bead and candy filled parade … to celebrate ourselves, our city, our cre-ativity and our people.”

The 2013 parade is sched-uled for Saturday, Oct. 19, 2 to 4 p.m.

A T-shirt sold in the Old State House reflects the waggishness of the occa-sion. It reads: “Hartford was founded by a Hooker.” How ironic that a Puritan minis-ter is being used to kickstart such a worldly celebration.

The parade is sponsored by the Hartford Business Improvement District.

Thomas Hooker’s descen-dants have included many distinguished citizens. A son, Samuel Hooker, became the minister in Farmington. A grandson, John Hooker, served as a judge in the state’s supreme court and as Speaker of the Connecticut Assembly. Another grand-son, James Hooker, married the daughter of William Leete, moved to Guilford,

and also served as Speaker of the Assembly. A grand-daughter, Mary Hooker, mar-ried the Rev. James Pierpont. Their daughter, Sarah, married the famed Rev. Jonathan Edwards. Other di-rect descendants of Thomas Hooker include Timothy Dwight, Aaron Burr, William Gillette, J. P. Morgan, and William Howard Taft.

My interest in Thomas Hooker has been heightened by at least three personal connections. My mother was of old Puritan stock, raised a Congregationalist, and joined the local Methodists after her marriage to my dad. A set of our ances-tral grandparents, Thomas and Margaret Bliss (Mom’s mother’s maiden surname was Bliss), lived in Hartford during some of the Hooker years, and Thomas Bliss, Sr. and Jr., both were among the original land proprietors there.

Finally, after I officially retired, I served as pastor at five different parishes. One of them (from 2004-2005) was South Congregational Church in Hartford, or-ganized in 1670 when 32 members of Center Church, founded by Hooker him-self, broke away over sev-eral issues that seem trivial today. Each church claimed that it was being faithful to Hooker’s legacy.

In 1638, while Rev. Hooker was leading his flock in Hartford, other Puritans, also from the Boston area and led by Rev. John Davenport, settled in New Haven and elsewhere along the shoreline. In 1664 the two groups merged to form the Connecticut of today. From 1701 to 1873 Hartford and New Haven served as co-capitals of the state.

tail store that arrives for a temporary stay. The phone number for Spirit Halloween in North Haven goes to a prepaid cell phone, and the hours are taped to the front of the store on a standard 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper.

Around this time of year, seasonal retail stores are pop-ping up around the state. In Berlin, a Spirit Halloween is doing business in Brickyard Plaza on the Berlin Turnpike. According to economic de-velopment officials in both Berlin and North Haven, temporary stores are a good thing, attracting customers and filling vacant space.

Richard LoPresti, chair-man for North Haven’s Economic Development Commission, said the tempo-rary retail places that pop up around major holidays bring people to the town, which “feeds other businesses.”

“Anything that prevents a vacant storefront is good,” LoPresti said. “And hope-fully there is a longer term solution.”

Places like Universal Drive

in North Haven — a busy re-tail location — is an oppor-tunity for stores because the area has a high amount of shoppers, area.

Temporary retail stores have another advantage from setting up in strip malls and other retail locations where the previous occupant was in retail.

“They can come right in. They don’t have to go to zon-ing,” LoPresti said.

For Spirit Halloween, Halloween 2013 marks 30

years of doing business. In 1999, the store operated 63 stores across the nation and was acquired by Spencer Gifts, LLC, the operator of the store Spencers, found in many malls across the state. Today, Spirit Halloween has 1,000 locations.

“Over the past 30 years, Spirit Halloween has grown store counts consistently,” said Lisa Barr, senior direc-tor of marketing and creative at the company. “Very few retailers can show such con-

sistent growth over a 30-year life-cycle. In comparison to last year, Spirit Halloween’s store count has grown over five percent.”

Spirit Halloween was started, Barr wrote in an email, because the holiday changed. Dressing up and candy wasn’t for kids any more and adults wanted to join in.

“It’s the one day out of the year when all people can be whoever or whatever they want,” she wrote.

Barr said she could not talk in depth about the store’s seasonal business model, but she did say being a seasonal retailer has advantages and disadvantages.

“For example,” she wrote, “as the economy continues to improve, retailers are be-ginning to expand their port-folios and vacant spaces are beginning to backfill. We do face challenges securing the best locations; however, Spirit Halloween has an ex-cellent real estate team that works year round to scope out and lock in the best loca-tions available.”

Letters to the Editor

Core intrusionTo the editor:I was glad to finally see a

letter from somebody about Common Core. The concept is another intrusion by the federal government into con-trolling our lives. The last couple of years it has been quietly instituted with very little information about the specifics, except that it is an attempt to unify and make uniform what our children are being taught nationally. Sounds good, but it is balo-ney. It is about government control.

Traditionally, the educa-tion of our children has been locally controlled, whereby parents, teachers, and admin-istrators worked together. The education our children received was first class. But, in 1979 President Jimmy Carter created the education

department and bureaucrats and so-called experts took over thinking they could im-prove the education system. Hundreds of billions of dol-lars have been spent, and ob-viously the results leave a lot to be desired. Our education system is being choked by pa-perwork and federal control. Now comes Common Core as a solution, started not by legislation or teachers but by Bill Gates and other business interests.

Federal money is the driv-ing force and most states have accepted Common Core be-cause of the money. I sus-pect that almost all parents and teachers have no idea what the Common Core goal is, and a well rounded edu-cation is not it. My children are grown now, so I have no ax to grind, but I love living in our town. I strongly urge

parents in North Haven to get involved and find out what is really going on with the ed-ucation of their children and what they will be taught. If you need more information go to Google and pull up “mi-chelle malkin common core.” Please get involved.

No hue and cryTo the editor:Enough already with the

endless volleys of slings and arrows against the proposed recycling facility.

Where was the hue and cry from the pseudo-intellec-tual element in town when a methadone clinic was forced upon the town right up the street from the proposed re-cycling facility?

Commentary

A fun weekend day for our family generally has three components: a chance for the kids to run and jump, the opportunity to see some-thing interesting, and a min-imal cash outlay for that entertainment.

One of our favorite places to visit is the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, and thanks to the North Haven Memorial Library and their museum passes program, we can go for free!

That’s right. For $0, my family of four can spend the entire day at the zoo, learn-ing about the animals and enjoying each other’s com-pany. The Beardsley Zoo is the perfect size for small children. It has over 300 an-imals, but is small enough for a preschooler to walk the entire zoo without her legs

falling off, like my girl’s legs threaten to do if she has too walk too far.

Our favorite animals are the otters, with their play-ful nature and their adorable faces, the new female Amur leopard, which is incredibly rare, and the farm animals, which are incredibly com-mon. My kids love crawling in the prairie dog exhibit, and popping their head out the tunnel openings as if they were adorable rodents themselves.

We love the howler mon-keys, with their tiny mischie-vous faces, and the peacocks strutting freely around the grounds. There is a carousel for kids who want to ride an animal, albeit a wooden one, and a café to grab a bite to eat.

When you go, don’t miss the tigers. Two gorgeous

Amur tigers spend their days napping like monstrous kit-tens, grooming themselves, and monitoring the perime-ter of their enclosure. You’ll feel compelled to take a close look, but beware: tigers de-fend their boundaries by spraying urine. If they lift their tails, get back!

My favorite thing this trip was the new litter of Guinea

hog piglets, five boys and one girl. I’m a sucker for a baby pig, and I couldn’t help but feel a connection to the ex-hausted looking momma pig, babies following her every-where, climbing on her and nuzzling for sustenance.

We love the zoo, and are thankful for the library pro-gram that allows library card holders to check out passes to various attractions in

Connecticut. Many are dis-counted prices, and a few, like the zoo passes, are free.

The Beardsley Zoo, at 1875 Noble Avenue, Bridgeport, is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day, except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Contact the zoo at (203) 394-6565 or go to www.beardsleyzoo.org, for more information.

T he Nor t h H aven S u b s t a n c e A b u s e Ac t ion Cou nci l a nd the Drug Enforcement Administration is sched-uled to accept expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 pm. at the Recreat ion Center, 7 Linsley Street. The service is free and anonymous.

The initiative addresses a v ita l publ ic sa fety and public health issue. Medicines that remain in home cabinets are suscep-tible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United

States are high, as are the number of accidental poi-sonings and overdoses due to these drugs.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for dispos-ing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose po-tential safety and health hazards.

Proper disposal of med-ication is a significant way to lower the risk of ground-water contamination.

For more in forma-t ion , contac t Na ncy Leddy, Youth Services Administrator, at (203)239-5321, x 505.

Chambers

After she steps down, Wilson’s position of president will not be filled. However, as part of the affiliation, the chamber will keep its mar-keting brand and its board of directors.

“I’m going to miss all the people and I hope we’ll stay in touch,” she said.

Paul Mayer, chairman of the Quinnipiac Chamber’s executive board and co-chair of the Transition Committee, said chambers across the na-tion have been merging their resources. It’s a phenominon that has been going on for the last five or six years, he said.

For example, the Branford and Guilford chambers came together within the last few weeks, he said.

“Years ago, many towns had their own, singular chamber of commerce,” Mayer said.

But when the chambers combined, they could of-fer more services to their members.

When the affiliation be-tween the New Haven and Quinnipiac chambers is com-plete, Quinnipiac Chamber members can take New Haven Chamber’s leadership development program, which is very good, according to Mayer.

And New Haven will adopt the Quinnipiac Chamber’s Athena leadership award pro-gram, a program that recog-nizes women in business.

The affiliated chambers will also create a stronger leg-islative voice.

Shay Atluru, co-chair of the Transition Committee, said, “This effort also brings together the region’s legisla-tive and planning efforts to promote business approaches to government and legislation in a cohesive, well-defined manner.”

been withdrawn another public hearing on the matter would have been held and commissioners may have voted on it.

“Based on the comments I heard at the last meeting, I think it would have been denied,” Giuletti said. “At least two of us would not have voted for it and I think it would not have been in the best interest of the town to bring this project into North

Haven.”The last line of Pellegrino’s

letter referred to bringing a new application. “I’m not sure when we’ll be back and if the application will be dif-ferent,” he said. “The current application gives reasonable protection to surrounding property owners.”

When asked whether a new location would be pro-posed in the new application, he said, “The location over-shadowed the real issue at hand, which was devising a

regulation that would strike a balance no matter where it goes. When we refile we’ll just talk about the regulation, not the site. Our client may look at other sites. Until you get a regulation passed it’s a moot point.”

The application seeks to change the zoning code to permit a recycling center in an IG (industrial general) zoning district.

Giuletti said the com-mission will listen to their new application and judge

it fairly. “It’s an important issue in the town and the applicant should give more information before they come forward.”

“We’ll live to fight another day,” Pellegrino said.

With a perfect 3-0 record, which included a huge vic-tory over perennial state power Xavier, the North Haven football team finally garnered some respect as it entered the state’s top 10 list at No. 8.

The Indians’ reward? A trip to Madison’s Surf Club to take on rival Daniel Hand, a team they had bested just once in the last 20 years.

The host Tigers were play-ing their second consecutive game on their recently reno-vated turf field, but, based on their young starting lineup, many thought them to be the underdog in this matchup,

Hand proved the doubters wrong.

The Tigers took the open-

ing kickoff and marched right through a very physical Indian defense to score the game’s first touchdown with a 14-play, 71-yard drive, which culminated with a 18-yard touchdown pass from soph-omore quarterback Nick van Dell to senior Tim D’Annolfo. Junior place kicker Tyler Phan drilled the extra point to make it 7-0.

The entire game, North Haven couldn’t get that crucial first down when it needed it.

A main reason for this was the Indians’ inability to com-plete passes.

Realizing the North Haven pass game was off, the Hand defense stacked the line and dared the Indians to run.

This led to a futile ground attack by the locals.

A pair of interceptions

thrown by senior quarter-back Mike Halloran came at inopportune times for North Haven. The Tigers returned one of the picks for a 34-yard TD in the second quarter which gave them a 14-0 cush-ion at halftime.

North Haven got the ball to start the second half, but a stalled drive and punt gave the ball back to Hand, which notched its third score with less than four minutes to play in the third quarter when van Dell threw a 6-yard TD strike to senior Jacob Mirando. Phan kicked his third extra point to expand the Tigers’ advantage to 21-0.

In the fourth quarter, the Indians finally hit pay dirt when Halloran scored on a 10-yard touchdown run with eight minutes to play. But the extra point was not to

be, as the snap was low and got by senior holder Evan Manameit.

The 21-6 loss dropped North Haven to 3-1.

Halloran completed one pass for 13 yards in 13 at-tempts, but led all rushers with 84 yards on 18 carries.

The North Haven offense amassed 224 yards on the ground, but cracked the red zone just a couple of times.

Senior co-captain Ethan Suraci led the Indians’ de-fense with 13 tackles. Juniors Hunter Coughlin and Cole Pecora had interceptions.

No day at the beach: Indians bested 21-6By Kevin PatakySpecial to The Citizen

Week 48th gradersNorth Haven 26, Old

Saybrook 6: Mark Montano began the scoring with a 7-yard touchdown run, and with a Ricky Stober extra point kick, North Haven (4-0) was up 8-0.

North Haven extended its lead to 14-0 when Montano ran for his second TD, this one from five yards.

The North Haven defense, anchored by D.J Fusco, Patrick Edwards, Eddie Tosado and Matt Biehl, yielded just one score, and it came late.

Zach Orth, who ran tough up the middle all afternoon, put North Haven up 20-0 when he scampered in from five yards.

Nick Perillie capped the North Haven scoring when he busted a few tackles en route to the end zone.

7th gradersNorth Haven 27, Amity 0:The North Haven offense

was led by Nick Dodge, who scored three touchdowns.

The Indians’ offensive line played one of its best games, anchored by Anthony

Bello, Bobby Farley, Vincent Assasoulis, Steven McKinney, Donato Cristani, Lou Mineri, Jeremy Copolla, Adian Lillis and John Crispi.

The shutout defense was led by Vinny Vigliato, John Wilcox, Ben Fisher, A.J. Sasser and Shamus Meehan, who had two interceptions.

5th gradersNorth Haven 18, Clinton

0: Anthony Rapuano crossed the goal line once and Hayden Tomlin scored twice as North Haven evened its record.

Tailback Patrick Lillis helped North Haven win the time of possession battle by breaking tackles and collect-ing several first downs.

Justin Perillie and David Pace also added great carries on the day for the victors.

The defense pitched a shut-out behind Lillis, Damian Carrano, Ginowo Schiave and Zack Peters.

North Haven’s offensive line was led by Chris Bracale and James Yosua.

4th gradersNorth Haven 27, Old

Saybrook/Westbrook 14: North Haven (3-0) trailed for

the first time this year when OSW took a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter.

From there, North Haven’s defense clamped down and took control.

The Indians scored the next four touchdowns to surge ahead 27-7.

The game was still in doubt at the half, however, as North Haven’s lead was just 14-7. But the Indians took the sec-ond half kickoff, sustained an impressive drive, and never looked back.

OSW could not break the North Haven defense, which forced two turnovers, and was aided by big plays from Michael Bachmann, Aidan Rapuano, Declan Finkle and Ryan Skronski.

Spencer Mulligan scored three touchdowns and Matt Dodge scored one for the victors.

The Indians’ running at-tack was effective due to great blocking by the offensive line, including that of Nicholas Bracale, Brady Connolly, Anthony Acampora, Brendan Jooss and Leo Kattis.

Youth football: Big week for locals

On Sept. 26, New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi visited the mound, where his players were already wait-ing, and signaled for a right-handed pitcher in the top of the eighth inning during the Yankees’ final home game of the season, against the Tampa Bay Rays.

And just like he’s done since his Major League debut in 1995, Mariano Rivera trotted out from the bullpen at Yankee Stadium, accompanied by his signature tune, Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.”

The fans in Yankee Stadium knew what to expect from Mo every time he emerged from that bullpen, so the cheers were always there.

The Yankees were already eliminated from playoff contention Sept. 26, and they would lose to the Rays 4-0, but even so, the cheers were a little louder this time.

This particular moment meant everything for a player who has firmly cemented his legacy into the history books of baseball, for all the fans who watched him over the years, and for all the players who had the incredi-ble honor to share the field with him or face him on the mound.

I didn’t get to watch Mo’s final game live, but I watched the clips of it afterwards, and I humored myself by looking up the play-by-play to see what it said when Mo exited the mound:

“Pitching change: Matt Daley replaces Mariano Rivera.Coaching visit to mound.On-field delay.”Just a simple “on-field delay” to denote the final exit of

the greatest of all time.It didn’t even matter if you were a Yankees fan. Heck,

even Red Sox fans tipped their caps and wished the best for Mo, a guy who showed up and simply did his job with near-infallible execution.

When I was younger, before I even understood any-thing about how baseball really worked, before I even understood who Mo was, I would see that guy wearing No. 42, pinstripes.

Before I even understood why it was that the Yankees were going to win whatever game I was watching, I

Mo

knew it was going to happen. I knew what to expect before I even knew what to expect.

And then I grew older, and he was still there, piping cut-ters across home plate. Every appearance was like this in-credible work of art where each pitch was a brush stroke – so delicate and precise, yet the end result was this powerful message that would shake your perspective on everything you thought you knew about baseball.

How did he do that again? Why do these batters never

catch on? What the heck is this guy’s secret?

You’d think after 19 years in the majors, hitters would have figured out the mystery behind that cutter, but they didn’t, and even in his final season Mo’s output didn’t change.

He put up 44 saves this year out of 51 opportunities. Over that 19-year stretch, 652 saves out of 732 chances. Walks? 286. Strikeouts? 1,173 (pretty nice ratio, if you ask me).

In his career, he’s never blown more than nine save opportunities in a season, and those nine happened in 1997, where he still made 43.

So it’s no wonder, really, that as Mo traveled to differ-ent stadiums this season, he was lavished with praise and gifts from other organiza-tions – yes, even the Red Sox.

You likely won’t see an-other player in any other sport receive the recognition he did throughout the year. Wayne Gretzky didn’t get it. Heck, Michael Jordan didn’t even get it.

Gretzky and Jordan are recognized as the greatest at their sport, and hey, there are other great baseball play-ers, too. But then you think about Rivera’s situation; he’s a closer, so that means he comes in at the end of the game to finish the other pitchers’ jobs. He’s the last one the opposing batters see, then it’s goodnight. It’s easy to see why “Enter Sandman”

is such a perfect song for him.

It won’t be the same watching the Yankees know-ing No. 42 won’t be securing another “W” for the Bronx Bombers, but he’s certainly a chapter of his own in the detailed lore of baseball; a chapter that will end with a simple “on-field delay.”

So goodnight, Mo. Thanks for the memories.

Health Tips

A good night’s rest helps you stay healthy and alert. But many older people don’t sleep well.

If you’re always sleepy, it may be time to see a doctor. You shouldn’t wake up every day feeling tired.

Sleep and agingOlder adults need about the

same amount of sleep as young adults — 7 to 9 hours each night — but they tend to go to sleep earlier and get up earlier than when they were younger. Older people may nap more during the day, which can sometimes make it hard to fall asleep at night.

There are two kinds of sleep — REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and non-REM sleep. We dream mostly during REM sleep and have the deepest sleep during non-REM sleep. As people get older, they spend less time in deep sleep, which may be why older people are of-ten light sleepers.

Source of sleep problemsThere are many reasons

why older people may not get enough sleep at night. Feeling sick or being in pain can make it hard to sleep. Napping during the day can disrupt sleep at night. Some medicines can keep you awake. No matter the reason, if you don’t get a good night’s sleep, the next day you may:

--Be irritable.--Have memory problems or

be forgetful.--Feel depressed.--Have more fal ls or

accidents.--Feel very sleepy during the

day.Do you have insomnia?Insomnia is the most com-

mon sleep problem in adults age 60 and older. People with insomnia have trouble falling and staying asleep. Insomnia can last for days, months or even years. If you’re having trouble sleeping, you may:

--Take a long time to fall asleep.

--Wake up many times in the night.

--Wake up early and be un-able to get back to sleep.

--Wake up tired.--Feel very sleepy during the

day.There are many causes of

insomnia. Some of them you can control, but others you can’t. For example, if you are excited about a new activity or worrying over your bills, you may have trouble sleeping. Sometimes insomnia may be a sign of other problems. Or it could be a side effect of a med-ication or an illness.

Often, being unable to sleep becomes a habit. Some peo-ple worry about not sleeping even before they get into bed. This may even make insomnia worse.

Older adults who have trou-ble sleeping may use more over-the-counter sleep aids. Using prescription medicines for a short time might help. But re-member, medicines aren’t a cure for insomnia. Developing healthy habits at bedtime may help you get a good night’s sleep.
