Varsity boys’ hockey at North HavenHigh School is back on the right track.

Last week, Indian skaters won a pair ofgames to climb back to .500, with a 7-7record.

First, NHHS traveled to Trinity Collegein Hartford to take on Glastonbury, a teamranked in Connecticut’s top 10. Glaston-

bury struck first, staking a 4-0 lead in thefirst two periods. North Haven answeredback at the end of the second after seniorKen Broccoli scored a pair of goals 44 sec-onds apart with 1:13 to play in the period.

Halfway through the third period, theTomahawks scored again to open up a 5-2lead, but it was all North Haven from there.

Selectmen lay out plans forinfrastructure upgrades

By Andrew GarganoThe North Haven Citizen

Following last month’s ref-erendum, residents can ex-pect a steady stream of infra-structure upgrades over thenext several years.

Last Thursday at a Boardof Selectmen meeting, FirstSelectman Michael Fredaspoke about the town’s up-coming plans following ap-proval of the $14 millionbonding package. The pack-age, which passed Jan. 24 at

referendum with a 9.3 per-cent turnout, granted NorthHaven the ability to upgradeits infrastructure in theform of a new public worksgarage, the renovation offirehouses, and the millingand repaving of roadways.

Freda explained that the$14 million would not be bor-rowed all at once. Instead,the agreement is a three-yearplan that will see NorthHaven borrow $5 million ineach of the first two years,and $4 million in the final

year.He stated that the money

borrowed in each given yearwould not be overspent.

Construction of the newpublic works garage is thefirst priority during the ini-tial phase of the bondingagreement, according to Fre-da. He hopes for the facilityto be ready by Aug. 1, atwhich point the town willmove onto the next projects.

Fasano talks state,local politics

By Kyle SwartzThe North Haven Citizen

In last week’s issue, we satdown for an interview with aformer local politician whomay run against NorthHaven’s longtime Republi-can State Senator LenFasano. This week, wecaught up with Fasano, whoalso represents East Havenand Wallingford, to discusshis thoughts on recent stateand local politics.

Q: What has been your fo-cus in recent legislative ses-sions?

A: I have always been wed-ded to creating jobs in Con-necticut. I believe that smallbusinesses — which I thinkcomprise about 90 percent ofour economy in Connecticut— need help. There are a lot

of manufacturing business-es in my district, especiallyin Wallingford. Most of thesesmall, local companies arefamily-run. And they’re hav-ing a hard time.

I think that the jobs billwhich we came out with wasbipartisan. The best bills tocome out from legislation, inmy view, are bipartisan bills.With the jobs bill, the Gover-nor did it right. He called allthe leaders into his officeand said, “Whether you’reRepublican, Democrat or In-dependent, I want to knowevery idea that you have.” Ofcourse, there were trading ofconcepts and ideas. We cameout with, in my opinion, thebest small business jobspackage that this state has

Jobs package explained by local politiciansBy Andrew Gargano

The North Haven Citizen

State Representative DavidYaccarino (R-North Haven)and Senator Len Fasano (R-34) hosted an informationsession at the North HavenMemorial Library lastWednesday night, at whichthey touted the importance ofjob creation among smallbusinesses.

The legislators detailed thebenefits of the new jobs pack-

age passed last October,House Bill 6801, “An Act Pro-moting Economic Growthand Job Creation in theState,” for an audience ofNorth Haven residents.

Fasano praised the newlaw, which offers such provi-sions as the Job ExpansionTax Credit Program (JET),providing tax credits to smallbusinesses that create jobs,and the Subsidized Trainingand Employment Program(STEP), which providesgrants to subsidize trainingand compensation.

North Haven First Select-man Michael Freda, also inattendance, offered his sup-port by deeming the packagea very important initiativefor the town.

“We’re in the very begin-ning stages of really helpingbusinesses grow even fur-ther,” said Freda. “This is an-other tool in the North Haventoolbox to help small-to-mid-size businesses.”

In addition to the tax cred-

its and loan/grant programsthe package offers, the pres-entation also highlighted theimportance of increasing in-terest in manufacturing, es-pecially among students.

Fasano and Lindylee Gold,Senior Development Special-ist with the Department ofEconomic and CommunityDevelopment (DECD), bothspoke strongly of an effort toget kids excited about theprospect of entering manu-facturing as an alternative toother job opportunities.

Fasano cited both the com-pensation and the availabili-ty of jobs upon graduation asreasons to introduce manu-facturing to students as earlyas sixth and seventh grade.

“People tend to think of itas non-glamorous,” saidFasano. “That’s not the caseanymore.”

Gold stated that there are

no perfect solutions in solv-ing the job crisis, and thatsome will not meet their jobgoals despite help from thisbill.

The package has garneredsupport from small business-

es around the state, thespeakers stated. Accordingto Gold, over 250 applicationsfor loan programs were re-ceived between Jan. 1 andFeb. 1, a “monumental” num-ber, she said.

By Paul ColellaThe North Haven Citizen

Recently at the NorthHaven Memorial Library, anenthusiastic group of nearly50 people participated in thelibrary’s first jigsaw puzzlecontest. The event was thebrainchild of reference li-brarian Nancy Haag and wassponsored by the Friends ofthe Library.

“I read about this contestbeing held yearly at the Ed-ward Smith Library inNorthford. After contactingthe staff at the Northford li-

brary to get further informa-tion, I then presented theidea to the Friends whoagreed to sponsor the con-test,” stated Haag. “I put apress release in the local pa-pers and in the newsletter,posted it on the website, andput posters in the library.The response was terrific,but unfortunately due to thecapacity of the communityroom we had to turn peopleaway a week before the dead-line.”

Haag explained that shechose a puzzle with 1,000pieces called “The Best of

New England,” because itwas good for different ages,teens to adults, and becausethe pieces were colorful, itwas eye-catching, it had abroad but familiar theme,and it was made by a U.S.A.company called White Moun-tain Puzzles, located in NewHampshire.

Patriots and Scoundrels Book 3, Part 3A shadowy figure stalks Anna and Richard while Mrs. Kensington tries to begin anew

By Paul ColellaThe North Haven Citizen

As Sarah and Anna weresettling in, unbeknownst tothem, a mysterious strangerwearing a dark blue cloakand a black mask was lurk-ing in the shadows of theship’s corridor. Cautiously,he emerged from the shad-ows and went up to the cabindoor. He pressed his earagainst the door in an at-tempt to eavesdrop on theconversation that was takingplace inside the cabin. His

plan was interrupted whenfootsteps were heard comingdown the stairs. Thestranger quickly vanishedinto the shadows.

“Come along, Carson. Thecabin is just around the cor-ner,” said Richard.

“I am right behind you,sir,” replied Carson.

When he came upon thecabin, Richard knocked atthe door and a few secondslater a dutiful Anna openedthe door. Richard entered thecabin, followed by Carsoncarrying two small trunks.

After Richard and Carsonhad gone inside, Anna closedthe door. The stranger slowlyemerged from his hidingplace and stared in the direc-tion of Richard and Sarah’scabin.

“Soon, Richard Hayes,soon,” whispered thestranger while clenching hisfists.

The next day, many milesaway in London, it was awindswept, raw Decembermorning and the city lookedbleak and dreary as it shiv-ered under the overcast sky.

But the woman who stood atthe window of the drawingroom in the large house onDover Street did not hear therattling of the wind againstthe panes or even feel thepersistent draft that pene-trated between the windowframe and sill. She was star-ing unseeingly into thestreet.

In her mind she was thou-sands of miles away and justarriving at Kensington Hall.Eagerly, she pictured the lastfew minutes of that journey.The carriage would gatherspeed as the horses gallopedup the winding road. Thenthey would round the bendand it would be there — thegreat house, gleaming andwhite in the afternoon sun. Itwas a grand house with

many rooms filled withbeautiful and ornate fur-nishings. The pillars in thefront stood tall representingstrength and the high posi-tion that the name Kensing-ton held in society. But nowthe magnificent home was apile of rubble and ashes dueto an angry mob’s revenge.

The woman was so ab-sorbed in her thoughts thatshe didn’t hear the light tapon the drawing room door,nor did she note when thedoor opened. For a long mo-ment, Mrs. Kensington stoodsurveying the servant andthe gentleman who had en-tered the room. After an-nouncing the name of the

gentleman, the servant leftthe room. Mrs. Kensingtonstared at her guest and, to herworried eyes, he seemedweary and gaunt. But be-neath the concern, a currentof joy rippled and dancedthrough her. Standing beforeher was Sir Henry Barton, ahighly respected judge in theKing’s Criminal Court.

“My dear Phoebe Kensing-ton, it is wonderful to see you.I was very pleased to hearthat you have returned toLondon and I do pray thatyou will not be leaving in thenear future,” said a sincereSir Henry.

“Sir Henry, it is very goodto see you. I am glad that youhave called on me. Please, sitdown and join me in a cup oftea,” said Mrs. Kensington asshe rang the bell for tea.

An obliging Sir Henry sat

down on the sofa next to Mrs.Kensington, and the two be-gan to talk. Mrs. Kensingtontold her friend that she hadleft America and returned toher beloved England to es-cape the painful memories ofher daughter and husband’sdeaths. She believed thatLondon society and the com-pany of old and dear friendsincluding Sir Henry wouldhelp to heal her broken heart.

“My dear Phoebe, I amvery sorry for your loss butdo take comfort in the factthat you are among friendsand I will see to it that you be-come reacquainted with Lon-don society and all your wor-ries and sadness will fadeaway,” said Sir Henry.

“Thank you, Sir Henry. ForI know that you are a man ofyour word and can always becounted upon for makingyour friends feel content,”said Mrs. Kensington. “Justout of curiosity, who told youthat I was in London? Was it

His Majesty King George?”“No, it wasn’t His Majesty.

It was Lady Winfield,” an-swered Sir Henry.

Upon hearing Lady Win-field’s name, a terrible chillengulfed Mrs. Kensington’sbody. Her troubles were aboutto begin again, but in hermind she quickly resignedherself to the fact that shewould deal with Lady Win-field as she deals with allthose who dare to challengeher. As Mrs. Kensington andSir Henry continued to en-gage in polite conversation, asly Philippe Monnerat waseavesdropping on them fromout in the hall. To be contin-ued . . .

improvements and also prob-ably pick one of the firehous-es to start [renovating] dur-ing that first year,” said Fre-da.

The First Selectman addedthat the bonding agreementwill not increase the town’scurrent debt service level of$6 million.

Freda then defined hisgoal and biggest challenge ofthis budget season as deliver-ing a zero percent tax in-crease this year. “It is a hugechallenge to try to do that,”said Freda. “But that is thegoal and I hope we can getthere by micromanaging

every aspect of this budget.”Beyond issues regarding

the bonding package or budg-ets, the Board of Selectmenalso committed to makingprogress with child abuseprevention after a presenta-tion by resident RaymondFowler. Fowler proposed asystem of education, both foradults and children, on howto handle properly situationsthat could lead to child abuse,as well as providing an av-enue for kids to report abuse.

Freda endorsed the propos-al at the conclusion ofFowler’s presentation.

The next Board of Select-men meeting will take placeon March 1 at 7 p.m. in theNorth Haven Memorial Li-brary.

operate witha lot of capi-tal.

I also likethe creditswe createdfor hiringpeople whowere on un-employment.We will give credit for doingthat for a number of years.There’s also an increase incredit if hired people are vet-erans. I think all that isgreat. It helps businesseswith startup money, andhelps new businesses hirestaff and get off of theground.

These credits and incen-tives will give businesses op-portunity to grow. This is sig-nificant because businesseswant to grow, but are scaredto do so. Connecticut is nowsaying, “Take the chance —we’ll help you out a lot.”

Q: Connecticut is often la-beled as not business-friend-

ly. Is this true?A: Connecticut is not a

business-friendly state.When I talk to the businesschambers in East Haven,Wallingford or North Haven,they’re not bashful in tellingme that Connecticut is notbusiness-friendly. I run abusiness myself. I know thatthis is not a business-friend-ly state.

Q: What can be done tocounter this?

A: We need fewer regula-tions, and more accountabil-ity on the state level in termsof permitting. For example,when you want to get STC orDEEP permits, it is a com-plex application. And, untilrecently, there were no realdeadlines put on the state forcompleting their end of theprocesses.

We are also not examiningenough how the Internetcould speed these things up.Why can’t we scan and sendapplications through email?

Why do we have to make 15copies of an applicationwhen one email could comewith copies as attachments?

In East Haven, when youwant to demolish a building,there is no clearinghouse forall the different applicationsyou need. You have to go toall the utilities and get shut-off letters. And then youneed to email all the neigh-bors and wait for the replies.Then you must contact thedepartment of health andsubmit an application andthen wait for that to besigned off. The process couldtake 45-60 days.

Obviously, we have to haveregulations and safeguards,but there are many processeswhere we could speed thingsup.

puzzle with a familiar themewould be more challengingand easier on the eyes thanone with just one or two col-ors,” continued Haag. “I en-joy doing jigsaw puzzles andwhen my family gets togeth-er at my brother’s summerhome in upstate New Yorkfor vacations, we do puzzles.It’s a wonderful way to spendtime with family doing ahands-on activity.”

The participants arrivedat the library at 10: 45 a.m.and the contest beganpromptly at 11 a.m. followinga few guidelines given byHaag. There were eightteams made up of six peopleto a table. There was a vari-ety of participants, includ-ing town employees, fire, li-brary staff, groups of friendsand two teams of individu-als. At the start of the con-test, the participants uncov-ered their puzzle, which wasa secret to all and they thenwent to work fitting andmatching the pieces.

“This is my first time par-ticipating in a jigsaw contest.

PuzzleContinued from page 9

I love to do jigsaw puzzles andmy fellow staff members andI do puzzles in the staff roomduring break and lunchtime,” said Patti LaTerza,participant and the chil-dren’s department librarian.“We call our team ‘The Li-brary Ladies’ because we aremade up of present and pastemployees.”

Other participants sharedLaTerza’s enthusiasm aboutthe contest. Town employeeand participant Donna Sposewas thrilled to be at theevent. “I always do jigsawpuzzles and they are chal-lenging for the mind and a lotof fun. My friend Joan Hilloand I get together occasional-ly and do a puzzle, but we getso obsessed with finishing itthat we work on it until past1:30 in the morning,” saidSpose. “I’m having a goodtime today, but I wish I had amagnifying glass andyounger eyes.”

“This was a super idea andit brought people from NorthHaven and the surroundingcommunities together to en-joy a favorite pastime. I sentemails to several of myfriends asking them to joinme on my team for the con-

test, and five people includ-ing Donna Spose responded,”said Gina Falcigno, partici-pant and co-president of theFriends. “It’s not about whowill finish first, but the posi-tive experience and interac-tion we are having with oth-ers from the community.”

Participants could takebathroom breaks and enjoysnacks provided by Stop &Shop of North Haven. From12:15 to 1:15, participants hadtheir lunch and during thistime all puzzles were coveredup and no one could work onthem. Competition resumedat 1:15 and was supposed tocontinue until 3 p.m., atwhich time the team with themost completed would becrowned winner. However, at2:15, to most everyone’s cha-grin, a team finished its en-tire puzzle.

“I was just finishing mylunch when I was notifiedthat team Traci R’s Crew hadfinished their puzzle. Every-one in the room was thrilledand I presented team captainTraci Resler, and team mem-bers Kimberly Saucier, JimAdinolfi, Allison Mangles,Laura Tignonsini andStephanie Ma with their

prizes,” said Haag. “Eachone received a gift bag offood items relating to NewEngland, including a can ofNew England clam chowder.I want to thank all the partic-ipants and especially theFriends for sponsoring theevent, Stop & Shop for theirdonation, and the librarystaff for their support.”

After Traci R’s Crew wasdeclared the winners, the re-maining seven teams contin-ued to work on their puzzles

until completion. LaTerzaand “The Library Ladies” de-cided to frame their puzzleand hang it in the library.Several participants suggest-ed that the Friends host an-other jigsaw puzzle contestand one gentleman suggest-ed that one be held once amonth.

ConcernsTo the editor:

Kyle Swartz’s interview ofSteve Fontana regarding hischallenge to Sen. Fasano leftme feeling that I must havebeen asleep the last 20 years.What concerns me most isMr. Fontana’s reliance on theunawareness and apathy ofthe average citizen while heattempts to dodge responsi-bility for the results of hislegislative actions.

After spending 14 years inthe legislature supportingthe Democrat majority andits agenda, he now is inter-ested in the “pressures thatmiddle-class families andseniors feel everyday.” Whileidentifying rising costs andstagnant incomes as prob-lems for the middle-class andseniors, he conveniently ig-nores rising state taxes andspending that have increasedmuch faster than state popu-lation or economic growth.These taxes and state spend-

ing were escalated duringMr. Fontana’s legislativetenure. He seems to deny theconnection of his votes insupport of profligate Democ-rat spending, and the result-ant budget deficits, under-funded state pension andbenefits liabilities, and high-er taxes. The results of hisadvocacy and his voting arethe root cause of the finan-cial pressures that all Con-necticut taxpayers feel. Isthis his “proven record” towhich he refers in the inter-view?

Mr. Fontana’s greatest fan-tasy, however, is his viewthat Connecticut is business-friendly. If our state is sobusiness-friendly, why haveso many companies left thestate, and why is there muchnew emphasis (albeit late) onfinding ways to attract busi-nesses into the state?

I do agree with Mr.Fontana that “a hugeamount of anger and frus-tration was directed at the

people in office” during the2010 election. Why shouldn’tthis be the case? Weren’tthey the ones who brought usto this fiscal crisis? His con-cerns seem too little, too lateat best, and disingenuous atworst.

An administrationin denial

By State Senator LenFasano

I try not to writec o l u m n swhich canbe per-ceived ashaving ap o l i t i c a lslant —h o w e v e r,there aret i m e swhen criticism is requiredbecause all of us suffer ifcertain issues are notbrought to light. Such isthe case with our statebudget.

Denial is dangerous be-cause it blinds a personfrom analyzing their deci-sions. “There are none soblind as those that will notsee.” The proverb hasbeen traced back to Bibli-cal times, but fits the cur-rent administration’s de-nial regarding our state’slack of fiscal stability.

According to objectivespectators, we are onshaky ground at best.There has been a serious ofwarning signs that ourbudget, pushed by Gov.Malloy, is beginning to col-lapse.

First, our budget deficithas deepened. In earlyJanuary, the Office of Fis-

cal Analysis (OFA) — a bi-partisan office of actuar-ies — reported that in thefirst five months of thenew fiscal year (July toJuly) a state surplus of $88million has evaporated.The current budget short-fall is now $145 million ac-cording to OFA.

Our Governor’s re-sponse to the state’s fiscalnews came as he was inthe Swiss Alps attending aworld economic summit.Malloy said, “OFA has itwrong.” In the legislature,the golden rule is that ifOFA advises the economicimpact of any bill, it is tak-en for full faith and crediteven if we disagree. Thisis the common ground forwhich all the entire legisla-tive branch operates.

Gov. Malloy’s state-ments fly in the face of thevery rule for which all leg-islators live by. Further, ifOFA is not reliable as theGovernor suggests, thenone has to wonder why theGovernor’s Office of Poli-cy and Management Chief,Ben Barnes, invoked theOFA four times in a recentopinion piece to substanti-ate various fiscal argu-ments.

The second warning

DenialContinued from page 10

sign came after a recent re-port by private pension fundactuaries showed Connecti-cut’s pension fund remainsin poor fiscal shape. As a re-sult, questions have surfacedas to how much the state willactually save from the pen-sion package negotiated inthe union concession deal.

Governor Malloy claimsthat $21.5 billion will besaved over 20 years. But OFAhas been unable to validatesome of the savings. Addi-tionally, GOP leaders in boththe Senate and the House re-quested that OFA comparethe numbers from the privatepension fund report and theresults from OPM’s analysis.OFA says the Governor’snumbers don’t add up. And,in fact, will fall short by 65percent.

The third warning sign,and most telling, was a down-grade of the state’s credit rat-ing by Moody’s InvestmentServices. Skyrocketing pen-sion and healthcare costshave caught up with a demo-cratically controlled legisla-ture who voted to put off pay-

ment into the fund becausespending was more impor-tant.

Governor Malloy’s re-sponse, “We are in an envi-ronment where rating serv-ices are for lack of betterterm covering their back-side.” The OPM Secretarydecided to just go for thejugular claiming, “Moody’sis wrong.” The denial contin-ues.

The fourth warning signof fiscal collapse: inadequatecash flow. In December, de-spite the anticipation of newrevenues coming in, the stateran out of cash and had touse bonded funds (borrowedmoney) to pay employeesalaries and pay operatingbills.

The administrations an-swer to all of these warningsigns is to ignore the factsand say everyone else iswrong.

You may hear that theGovernor is using his reces-sionary authority to cut $79million from the budget andthat he’s consolidating agen-cies. These are feel good an-swers. More than half ofthe recessionary cuts havealready been counted in thebudget according to the gov-

ernor’s own staff.The end result of all of

these discrepancies and de-nials is that the taxpayer suf-fers. We as taxpayers will payfor it. I forewarned of this ex-act result back in March of2011 when I wrote:

“The Governor’s centralargument for proposing a$1.5 million tax increase isthat the state’s fiscal crisiswould be solved. (Remember‘shared sacrifice?’)

— State employees wouldsacrifice through union con-cessions

— Taxpayers would sacri-fice through increased taxes

— State governmentwould shoulder its share ofthe burden by vastly reduc-ing spending”

We have yet to see govern-ment truly reduce spending.The union concessions arenot adding up, but taxpayersare paying and paying dearly.

It’s time to stop denyingwhat is painfully obvious —the Administration’s plan isnot working.

Republican State SenatorLen Fasano represents the34th District, including thetowns of North Haven, EastHaven and Wallingford.

An Ounce of Prevention

Daily vitaminsBy V. Deborah Culligan

Many healthcareproviders recommend adaily multivitamin. Al-though most Americans getthe recommended dailyamounts of vitamins, amultivitamin once a daywill ensure meeting theminimum standards for in-take as established by theInstitute of Medicine(IOM.) There is no scientif-ic evidence that a multivit-amin will make you health-ier, prevent illnesses or pro-long life, but it will fill inthe gap for a few nutrientsthat the American diet mayfall short on. So the dailymultivitamin seems to be agood idea.

However, in addition to amultivitamin, many per-sons take additional dosesof single vitamin or miner-al supplements based on in-formation they have heardor seen in an advertise-ment, often without anyscientific basis. You shouldbe aware that supplementsdo not go through the samerigorous testing for safetyand effectiveness as dodrugs. It is always prudentto work with your health-care provider when you de-cide to take additional vita-mins or supplements.Many can interact withother medications. Somecan be dangerous. “More”may not mean “better”when it comes to vitamins.

Consumer Reports onHealth (March 2011) high-

lights some informationabout vitamins as does theNutrition Action Health Let-ter (September 2011.) Somekey highlights summarizedfrom these articles are:

Vitamin A: There doesnot appear to be any signif-icant benefit from takinglarge doses of this vitamin.In fact, large doses may in-crease the risk of lung can-cer in smokers. The cur-rent daily recommendationhas been reduced from5,000 IU to 2,310- 3,000 IU.Too much Vitamin A (alsocalled retinol) may in-crease the risk of liver ab-normalities and birth de-fects.

Vitamin D: This vita-min helps you to absorb cal-cium. The current dailyrecommendation is 600 IUfor adults up to age 70 and800 IU for people over 70.You should not exceed 4,000IU per day.

Vitamin B’s: These vita-mins do help you to extractenergy from food, but extradoses will not help you tofeel more energetic. Theyhave also had disappoint-ing research results withregards to heart diseaseand stroke and do not ap-

State column

State GOP to nominateLinda McMahon again?

By Chris Powell

Are Connecticut’s Republicans really go-ing to nominate Linda McMahon for U.S. sen-ator again? It could seem so, as she has col-lected endorsements from dozens of partyleaders, if Connecticut’s Republican Partycan be said to have leaders. Maybe “officials”would be more accurate.

For how could leaders want the party torisk another humiliation like McMahon’scampaign for the Senate two years ago? Shespent $50 million from her personal fortune,many times more than had ever been spentin a political campaign in Connecticut, onlyto run next to last on the Republican stateticket, just a few votes ahead of a candidatewho spent nothing at all, losing by doubledigits to a Democrat, Attorney GeneralRichard Blumenthal, whose frequent exag-geration of his military record might havemade him beatable by a credible Republicanrather than one whose poll negatives alwaysexceeded her positives.

How could any Republican have muchhope that it will be different this time?

Is it because this is supposed to be a Re-

publican year? As weak as the economy re-mains and as lukewarm as the public is to-ward President Obama, the polls show nomore enthusiasm for the Republican presi-dential aspirants, most of whom Connecticutregards as hateful, wacky, or both. Two yearsago was a Republican year — everywhere ex-cept in Connecticut, where McMahondragged the whole ticket down, having noqualification for office except her money andvanity and having nothing to say except thescript offered by national party headquar-ters and pollsters.

Connecticut remains a Democratic stateand that party will nominate a well-knownand experienced Senate candidate, eitherU.S. Rep. Christopher Murphy or former Sec-retary of the State Susan Bysiewicz. The De-mocratic nominee’s campaign will be amplyfunded and he or she will be the favorite inthe election.

Maybe in time Connecticut will considerthe pornography and mock violence of thewrestling business from which McMahondraws her fortune to be as legitimate as any

Chiropractor tip of the weekDid you know that athletic shoes should be replaced

every 300 to 500 miles? Most shoes should be replacedeven before they begin to show signs of moderate wear.Once shoes show wear, especially in the cushioning layercalled the midsole, they also begin to lose their shock ab-sorption. Failure to replace worn shoes is a commoncause of injuries like shin splints, heel spurs, and plantarfasciitis.

Tip of the week courtesy ofprofessional chiropractorsMaxwell L.S. Mitchell, D.C.,and Candice Pollack, D.C.,M.S, of APM Chiropracticand Wellness Center, 444bWashington Avenue.

pear to reduce their inci-dence. Some people may ben-efit from supplements. Be-cause many older personslack sufficient stomach acidto extract B12 from food, theymay need larger doses or in-jections. Pregnant women (orthose trying to get pregnant)should get 400 mcg per day offolic acid to prevent birth de-

fects.Vitamin C: Those who are

“C-believers” will never beconvinced that adding extravitamin C will prevent orcure colds. Some researchhas shown that a diet rich invitamin C foods may lowerthe risk of heart disease andcertain cancers, but the samehas not been shown for vita-min C pills. Other studieshave shown that 200 mg ormore per day of Vitamin Cmight improve cold symp-toms in smokers and seniors.

The current recommenda-tion is 75 mg for women and90 mg for men per day. Smok-ers should add 35 mg. Toomuch vitamin C may causediarrhea.

Vitamin E: Once believedto be a potential cancer pre-vention vitamin, studieshave shown that taking toomuch of this vitamin may ac-tually increase the risk ofdying. The daily recommend-ed dose for this vitamin isaround 100 IU. Cautionshould be used if you arealso taking blood thinners.

into the third,” said NHHShead coach Tom Roche. “Wetried some different line com-binations and it worked. Wedominated the third.”

Sophomore Mike Hribkoscored his first ever varsitygoal for NHHS and then jun-ior Dylan VanBramer talliedhis third of the year shortlythereafter to cut the deficit to5-4. Senior co-captain An-drew Babbidge scored withunder five minutes to play totie the game, which ultimate-ly went to overtime.

“We had a lot of momen-tum going into overtime,”Roche said.

Senior co-captain TylerDeMartin scored with eightseconds remaining in theeight-minute overtime ses-sion to send the Indians homevictorious.

“It was a nice victory,”Roche said. “We had beendown before in other games.But now the boys have theconfidence that, when we’redown, we can come back andbeat anyone.”

Mixing up lines reallymade a positive impact on hisplayers, according to Roche.

“The boys really seemed toclick with the new line com-binations,” he said. “In the

past, people were too com-fortable with who they wereplaying with. By changing upwho played with whom, youcould see the level of playchange. It sparked a sense ofurgency.”

“Before, they may have feltthe sense that the other play-ers were going to pick up theslack,” he added. “With thenew combinations, there wasa renewed sense of urgencyand it showed.”

Pasta night fundraiser

Courtesy of Cheryl Melillo

On Jan. 11, the North Haven High School girls’ bas-ketball team held their pasta night fundraiser at theNorth Haven Congregational Church. Thank you toScott Morrow, pastor, and Time Out Tavern for theirsupport.

Haven took on Division I ri-val Conard High School fromWest Hartford at the North-ford Ice Pavillion.

“We spoke in the locker-room beforehand about thatour success against Glaston-bury was that we had gottenthe puck deep into the oppo-nent’s ice while crashingtheir net,” Roche said. “Wespoke about maintaining thatfocus going into the gameagainst Conard. Right off thebat, we took the puck deepand crashed their net.”

Just a minute twenty fiveinto the game, Indian sopho-more Vin Fasulo setup atConard’s backdoor and redi-rected a nice pass from seniorco-captain Mike Andreuccifor a 1-0 lead. VanBramerscored shortly after to openup a 2-0 lead.

The Indians never lookedback.

Senior co-captain JohnnieJohnson scored in the secondperiod to give the Indians a 3-0 lead before the Chieftainscould get on the board, butAndreucci got one back forthe home team to give the In-dians a 4-1 lead at the end ofthe second period.

“After our initial successwe slowed down a bit, letConard back in with that goaland had a lot of penalties,”Roche said. “At that point, Istill was not confident thatwe could get the win. But we

came back alive in that sec-ond period.”

In the third, SophomoreChris Lion scored his secondgoal of the year to put NorthHaven on top 5-1. Then Ju-nior Jason Petrillo scoredhis first goal of the year witha nice shot over Conardgoalie Charlie Fisher’sshoulder into the top left cor-ner of the net for a 6-1 NorthHaven advantage.

Petrillo scored his secondgoal later in the period, whenhe poked the puck throughthe legs of Conard’s divingreplacement-goalie LukeRosow. The final score was 7-1.

“The boys really playedwell,” Roche said. “Those

were Petrillo’s two firstgoals. He got the game puck.He played very well.”

“Our defense played verystrong, especially AnthonyTondalo,” he added.

On offense, NHHS workedtogether better. “Eleven dif-ferent players got points inthat game,” Roche said.“That showed great team ef-fort.

With six regular seasongames left on the schedule,North Haven now needs onlyone win to qualify for stateplayoffs. Many tough gamesremain on the schedule. Thenext Indian home game isWednesday, Feb. 15 againstCheshire.

other business. Maybe Repub-licans will find a way ofsquaring that business withthe family values they pur-port to uphold, or the timewill come when they don’thave to, since social disinte-gration is the trend in Con-necticut, as throughout thecountry.

But more likely, for thepresent, Republican leaderssupporting McMahon aresimply engaging in anotherdefault, as they have donemany times in recent years,aiming to give the Senatenomination to a self-fundingcandidate with no record inpublic life and little familiari-ty with public policy becausethis seems to relieve the partyof its own responsibility to bea party. Such an attitude hasleft the party at its lowestpoint in Connecticut’s histo-ry.

If Republican expectationsare no higher than extrava-gantly catered campaignevents and advertisingoverkill that only emphasizesthat someone is trying to buyan election, McMahon may dojust fine again as the nomi-nee. But former U.S. Rep.Christopher Shays saysMcMahon can’t win and hecan — polls indicate as much— so he’s seeking the Republi-can Senate nomination too.

With three years in thePeace Corps, 12 years in thestate House of Representa-tives, 20 years in the U.S.House of Representatives,and two years on the U.S.Commission on WartimeContracting, Shays is, de-pending on one’s point ofview, either an experiencedpublic servant or a careerpolitician.

Republican of some inde-pendence, as when he con-fronted corruption in thestate probate court system inthe 1980s. He was the last Re-publican in the U.S. Housefrom New England.

Some find Shays preachybut he speaks with restraintand never raises his voiceeven as he doesn’t need ascript to know what hethinks. Formally announcinghis candidacy the other day,he pledged to work to controlfederal spending and to “takethe country back” from spe-

cial interests. He soon may bereminded that Connecticut isplanted thick with them, likemilitary contractors whoseproducts the president sud-denly has found expendable.Does anyone in Connecticutreally want to control federalspending that much?

But at least until the Re-publican primary in August,McMahon herself and whatshe inevitably represents —buying an election in the ab-sence of any other qualifica-tions — probably will remainthe biggest issue of the Sen-ate campaign.

company and spoke with theCEO. I asked him whether,the next time he was in Con-necticut, he would let me takehim to Hartford so that hecould speak about why heclosed down. He did so andspoke before a number ofeconomic development andstate officials. He was verycandid, very polite, and saidthat Connecticut was toocostly a state to do businessin. It was too regulated com-pared to other states.

When he plugged in thenumbers, it’s why he left. Hesaid, “I could only sell a widg-et within certain parameters,and once it exceeds that level,my customers will buy fromsomewhere else. It’s very sim-ple.”

I think we have to figureout a way to make businesseasier. That’s what Governor

Malloy is doing. He has hisFirst Five initiative, wherehe takes expanding business-es by the hand and walksthem through all the applica-tions and regulations. Wecould do that with other busi-nesses, as well.

Q: In a column in this Citi-zen issue, you call for Con-necticut budget cuts toshrink a potentially danger-ous deficit. What should becut?

A: We have two systems toprovide healthcare in Con-necticut, mostly to elderly,but also to others — the stateand private providers. A re-port by a bipartisan commit-tee said that the state shouldget out and healthcare shouldbe done privately. One, itcosts less to do it privately.Two, it can be done better pri-vately. The savings to Con-necticut could be $500 millionper year.

Of course, we would needto fund these nonprofit pri-vate providers better if thatchange occurred. And itwould not be a matter of los-ing jobs, because all thosestate workers would bemoved over to privateproviders with their patients.

Another source of savingsis, for new state employeesonly, we need to change pen-sion plans to a 401-type ofplan instead of defined-bene-fit plans. And we need to doaway with longevity pay-ments, which, after 10 years,guarantee an increase in re-tiree payments after everyyear. We just can’t affordthese anymore.

And we need to pay off ourpension debt, because thatdebt was one of the leadingfactors to our bond rating be-ing downgraded.

Q: What are your thoughtson recent North Haven devel-opments?

A: It’s good that that refer-endum passed. I think thatyou have to pay attention toinfrastructure before it turnsinto a crisis. And those fire-houses need help. Thosebuildings needed help forover a decade.

I think the Board of Educa-tion is looking for about a 2.8percent increase in their nextbudget. That’s a significantincrease. I think, in pastyears, the increase has beencloser to 1 or 1.2 percent. I’mlooking forward to morework from SuperintendentDr. Robert Cronin, but I’mconcerned about some of thechanges he wants to make. Ofcourse, I’ll give him room tomake his arguments, and myrole in all this is purely con-stituent.

Q: In his interview with uslast week, Steve Fontana,your potential opponent in

your upcoming reelectionrace, stated that he was thebetter candidate to under-stand needs of the middle-class and seniors. How do yourespond?

A: This election isn’t untilNovember. I’m working onsession right now. I’ll be sub-mitting 20 odd bills. I’m con-cerned about East Haven,and that beach being rebuilt.The state deficit needs atten-tion — that roof is collapsing.The will be plenty of time lat-er to show how I’m very in-volved with the middleclassand the elderly, and how Ihave always been involvedwith them. There will be timelater to match records onthat.

On a personal level, I likeSteve. We worked very welltogether when we were statesenator and representativefor North Haven. We talkedon the phone and in thechambers. We had a verygood relationship and we stilldo.

Q: How is bipartisanshipin Connecticut politics?

A: I can only talk to theSenate, where we all work to-gether pretty well. Where Iwould criticize would be thestate budget. The other partytotally excluded the minorityparty. The majority party ba-sically said “we don’t believeyou guys would ever want toraise taxes, so we won’t in-volve you.” That’s the wrongassumption, because youcan’t bail out a state withoutlooking at new revenues. Andone-sidedness resulted in abad budget, with a deficitlooming and the bond ratingdowngrade.

However, in education,there has been bipartisan-ship. We’ve already met withthe governor twice andshared ideas with him. Heseems to be on the same pageas us. And that’s why our edu-cation bills are better.
