Schools review security after Sandy Hook tragedy

Hockey team supports assistantcoach’s fight against ALS

By Kyle SwartzThe North Haven Citizen

When competing this sea-son, the North Haven HighSchool hockey team has ad-ditional motivation to pushpast difficult in-game situa-tions. With their assistantcoach Brian Savo continuinghis four-year battle againstALS, the students can seethat, by mimicking Savo’sperseverance and will, theycan have the strength to getthrough almost anything.

“When he can come in and

be a part of the team, itmeans a lot,” said NHHShockey co-captain Karl An-derson. “Hearing him talk inthe locker room really is aninspiration. If this guy isstill fighting, imagine whatwe can do.”

ALS — or amyotrophic lat-eral sclerosis — is a degener-ative disease which causesatrophy in muscles. Afterending the life of formerNew York Yankee legend, it’salso become known as LouGehrig Disease. Late-stagepatients can lose the ability

to move their arms or legs,and can have extreme diffi-culty simply swallowingfood.

Such were potential debil-itative outcomes facing Savo— a lifelong athlete with apassion for hockey — afterdoctors diagnosed him in2009.

“I was like a deer in head-lights,” said Savo, who is 36.“Being an athlete, it startedwith muscle cramps. Pro-gressively, it got worse. I

Following the Dec. 14 shootings atSandy Hook Elementary School, inwhich a gunman took the lives of 20students and six staff, education offi-cials are reviewing security at townschools.

“Our schools are all locked duringthe day — you cannot get in withoutbeing buzzed in,” said North Haven

Superintendent Dr. Robert Croninon Dec. 17. “Certainly, though, thereare security plans which we will bemonitoring. For instance, we will bepracticing lockdowns more often,much more frequently than in thepast.”

“We will also be starting up newdismissal procedures, especially interms of parent pickups, so that wecan be certain that that process cango smoothly,” he added. “We have

asked principals and the supervisorof grounds and maintenance to do awalkthrough at each school and seeif there are any things that we can doto enhance security. We will reviewall our security plans that have al-ready been created to make sure thatnothing is being overlooked.”

Cronin visited all town schoolsthis week to monitor security. Forfurther advice on maximizing schoolsafety, he will turn to the North

Haven police department. “I havecontacted the police chief. I askedhim to sit with us to get his perspec-tive as we review our securityplans,” the superintendent said.

First Selectman Michael Fredaalso said that he will be part of theschool security review.

While officials can learn from in-school tragedies and tighten securi-

Handling trauma in kidsIt’s difficult to comprehend

even the possibility of theDec. 14, horrific tragedy inNewtown. Many of us are ex-periencing both physical andemotional affects as we allmourn the losses from thatday and have deep sympathyand condolences for all thosethat were directly affected in-cluding the first responders.

In this time of sadness, wemust remain strong, especial-ly for the kids who were trau-matized. Here are eight tipsto help kids deal with trau-ma:

— Be empathetic to whatthe kids have been through.

Put yourself in their shoes.— Listen to your kids both

verbally and non-verbally.— Be honest and open, but

age appropriate. Remember,age is just a number; knowthe child’s maturity level andhow much they can handle.

— Let the child know thesituation is temporary andthey are doing everything intheir power to make sureeveryone is safe.

— Allow time for a Q&A -talking out in the open is animportant way to cope.

— It takes time toheal/comfort. Give kids timeto heal and be as warm as

possible and comfort them asthey heal.

— Try to keep a sense ofnormalcy and routine. Don’tmake any sudden or drasticchanges, if possible.

— Watch your own behav-ior. If your kids see you up-set and stressed, they will be-come more stressed. Kids arevisual learners so watchyour behaviors.

Sandy Hook victim’s grandmother is longtime North Haven teacherBy Kimberly Primicerio

Special to the Citizen

The Newtown communitycontinued to grieve Tuesdayas the first two of many funer-als were held for childrenkilled in a violent shooting.

But the crime’s effects werenot contained to one town -many people throughout Con-necticut have ties in some wayto Newtown and Sandy HookElementary School.

June Pinto, a NorthHaven resident and highschool teacher, lost her 6-year-old grandson Jack Pinto whena lone gunman walked intoSandy Hook School Fridaymorning and opened fire,

killing 20 children and sixadults.

“It’s just all so new. It’s sonumbing,” said Alicia Clapp,a North Haven Board of Ed-ucation member who knowsPinto.

Clapp said Pinto has been ateacher in the North Havenschool system for at least 30years.

“She’s an outstanding edu-cator,” Clapp said.

Pinto teaches social studiesand English at North HavenHigh School. She works withstudents who sometimes needextra help.

“To be hit this way is mindboggling,” Clapp said.

Monday afternoon, Clapp

was in the middle of writing anote to Pinto, who she saidwas a proud grandmotherwho would often talk abouther grandchildren.

“It’s so overwhelming,”Clapp said. “There’s longreaching effects to this.”

Word of the North Havenconnection to the incidentspread throughout town overthe weekend. School Superin-tendent Robert D. Cronin wastold by a staff member at thehigh school. He said he hadn’ttalked to Pinto directly, butsaid high school Principal Dr.Russell Dallai has connectedwith her. Dallai representedthe school district at Jack Pin-to’s funeral, Cronin said.

One town over from New-town, in Brookfield, residentAmy D’Orio said people areoverwhelmed. There’s a lot ofnational attention on thetown, and she said the trafficis so bad that getting intoSandy Hook is nearly impossi-ble.

“There’s a lot of disbeliefsurrounding it all,” said D’O-rio, a former Record-Journalreporter.

Going into town Monday,D’Orio stopped by a coffeeshop. While waiting for her or-der to be filled, she said cam-eras were just inches awayfrom her face. She said mem-bers of the media were set upoutside of the funeral home.

“It’s sad,” she said.People from all across the

country are supporting thecommunity, D’Orio said. TheNewtown Bee, the town’sweekly newspaper, started afund at a local bank and hasreceived boxes of teddybears.

Cronin said the NorthHaven district and staffmembers are just starting totalk about fundraising ideas.He has spoken with local su-perintendents in the area andthey are looking at what theycan do as a group.

State’s plunge from ‘fiscal cliff’ likely to be hardBy John ChristoffersenThe Associated Press

With its abundance ofhigh-end earners and mili-tary contractors, Connecti-cut is among states thatwould be hit the hardest ifWashington cannot find away to avoid the “fiscal cliff,”a potentially devastating ar-ray of automatic tax hikesand sweeping spending cuts.

This wealthy state that ishome to Sikorsky helicop-ters and Electric Boat sub-marines would be among thehardest hit in the country be-cause of its reliance on mili-tary spending and its higherincomes compared to otherstates, said Andres Corba-cho-Burgos, senior econo-mist at Moody’s Analytics.He predicts Connecticutwould lose slightly less than

40,000 jobs over the next 18months if a deal isn’treached and the tax hikesand spending cuts are imple-mented.

“The effect of that on Con-necticut would be pretty se-vere,” Corbacho-Burgossaid. “That pretty muchwould put Connecticut intorecession territory again. Itmeans, in effect, going into asecond brief recession andtherefore putting off the re-sumption of recovery for atleast another year.”

Steven Lanza, a Universityof Connecticut economist,said the state could lose asmany as 20,000 jobs, exclud-ing possible defense-relatedjob cuts that the spendingcuts might trigger. The statehas only regained about30,000 jobs since the 2008 re-cession, so the new job losses

would largely reverse thatprogress, he said.

The job losses have rippleeffects when unemployedworkers reduce spending atrestaurants, stores and otherbusinesses, Lanza said. Aloss of one job in aircraftmanufacturing would takewith it another three jobselsewhere in the economy, hesaid.

“So it wouldn’t take muchin the way of additional de-fense manufacturing jobcuts to have a big, negativeripple effect on the rest ofConnecticut’s economy,”

Lanza wrote in an email.Concerns are growing

about a Dec. 31 deadline tostop the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts and the start ofacross-the-board governmentspending cuts that are the re-sult of Washington’s failureto complete a deficit-reduc-tion deal last year. If Presi-dent Barack Obama and con-gressional Republicans can’treach a deficit-cutting deal,the changes would hit theeconomy with $500 billionworth of spending cuts andhigher tax rates, if left inplace through September.

In Connecticut, the expi-ration of all the tax cutswould mean sending another$3 billion to Washington, orabout 12 percent more thanthe current $25 billion, saidGian-Carl Casa, undersecre-tary for legislative affairs forthe governor’s budget office.

Obama wants tax rates torise only on income exceed-ing $200,000 for individualsand $250,000 for couples. InConnecticut, about 65,000 taxfilers out of 1.5 millionwould be affected, state offi-cials said.

SecurityContinued from page 1

ty measures accordingly,planning cannot foreseeeverything. Sandy Hook Ele-mentary School in Newtownalso was locked during theday, with entrance pendingthe office buzzing in visitors.But the 20-year-old gunmandefeated this system byshooting out a window andforcibly entering.

“All we can do is be as vigi-lant as possible,” Croninsaid.

Accordingly, during theschool days following that vi-olent Friday, town law en-forcement representativesserved as security enhance-ments at North Havenschools.

“We had a police presenceat every school this morn-ing,” Cronin said on Monday.“That will continue throughthis week. Officers stayed atschool today through dis-missal, though I do not expectthat to extend beyond Mon-day.”

“The officers at schoolsthis week stayed until every-one settled in,” he added.

Freda considered it imper-ative to have a police pres-ence this week. “I think it’svery important to show anddemonstrate this level of se-curity to placate any fears orconcerns that could be outthere among the teachers, ad-ministration, parents andteachers,” he said Dec. 18.

Before school on Monday,letters went out to all parentsand staff regarding school se-curity. Teachers were alsobriefed about how to handle

questions North Haven stu-dents might have regardingthe Dec. 14 incident.

“It depends on what thekids want to know. With ouryoungest kids, if theybrought it up, we answeredtheir questions factually,”Cronin said. “I was talkingjust today with [MontoweseElementary School Princi-pal] Mary Federico. She saidthat her kids were saying thatthey knew about a ‘bad man,’who ‘killed some people,’ butnow ‘he was dead and we’regoing to be safe now.’”

“For some of our olderkids, they understand that aterrible thing happened, sowe wanted them to know thatour schools are safe and thatwe have the utmost confi-dence in our staff to keep thestudents safe,” he continued.

While part of maintainingsecure schools means keep-ing out threats, it also entailsrecognizing threats to staffand student safety from with-in schools. Like the Newtownshooter, gunmen at Aurora,Virginia Tech University andthe would-be assassin of U.S.Rep. Gabby Giffords were allremembered by teachers asmentally troubled loners.

“We have a school psychol-ogist in all our schools, andhave social workers whowork at or visit all ourschools,” Cronin said. “Ithink the workers, psycholo-gists and staff can identifythe signs as best they can.When they see a child with-drawn, they do try to engagethat child alone and with oth-er children in order to drawout the withdrawn student.”

“Just today at ClintonvilleElementary School, a socialworker indicated to staff the

signs they could look for,” headded. “Even before, thatconversation happens withstaff about four times ayear.”

A lifelong educator,Cronin reflected on the dead-ly in-school shootings. “It’s

tragic. Quite honestly, it’shorrific,” he said. “I can re-member, just a couple ofyears back, when we startedto install buzzers at the en-trances of schools. I remem-ber thinking that we weretaking a huge step there. And

now that all has been shat-tered.”

The Tree’s GiftsBy Gillian N. Regan

Thetree’s gifts

in the springis to give us hope

that warmer days arecoming. The tree’s gift in

the summer is to give us a shadyspot to sit and read a book. The tree’s

gift in the fall is to give us vibrant leavesto jump in. The tree’s gift in the winter is to

let us admire its glittering ornaments and brightlights and to remind us that a new year is beginning.

A tree isa gift all

year long.

After Sandy HookTo the editor:In the wake of the recent

tragedy in Newtown, I want-ed to express my deepestsympathy and condolencesto all of those affected. It iscomforting to hear the sto-ries of heroism and braveryon behalf of the school staffand first responders.

As a mental-health clini-cian, I cannot imagine thewords I would say to help afamily that has lost a youngchild due to an act of pureselfishness and evil. Wordscan do very little to heal, butthere are healing actions.The entire state of Connecti-cut and the country as awhole has come together to

offer any support they can.This is humbling and itshows that there are goodpeople in the world. Manyblame the world as an evilplace but this is not neces-sarily true. Evil can be out-weighed by the goodness inpeople’s hearts.

When speaking to chil-dren about this horrificevent, keep it as simple aspossible, but allow them toprocess it with you. Do notdeter them from speakingabout it; otherwise, theymay seek information in thewrong places, which cancause even more fear andanxiety. Hearing answersfrom their parents are themost comforting words. Par-ticipate or volunteer in an

event that will help yourchildren feel involved andreassure them that they aresafe.

I encourage everyone tovisit “Staying Strong forSandy Hook” at www.crow-drise.com/sssh. All proceedswill be directly donated tothe United Way of WesternConnecticut, which helpsprovide resources and sup-port for children and fami-lies in time of need. TheUWWC and Newtown Sav-ings Bank have joined to-gether to establish theSandy Hook School SupportFund.

CommentaryFreda’s Focus

A time to rememberBy Michael Freda

The Christmas holidayseason is al-ways a festiveone, a time tobe with fami-ly and lovedones. It is atthis time ofyear whenour spiritsseem to glowwith holidaycheer and we experience aninner luminosity that ishard to describe.

Many of us, myself in-cluded, tend to glance backinto the past to rememberChristmases of long ago, re-call a special toy, a specialChristmas moment orbeloved relatives and familymembers who are no longerwith us.

For me, the memories ofpast Christmas holidays arerich, run deep and are veryhappy ones that are tightlycompartmentalized in thecorners of my mind. Duringeach and every Christmasseason, I always pause and

reflect on three different lev-els personally and profes-sionally; reflecting upon thepast, examining the presentand lastly, plotting out whatthe future will be.

This year, all of thosethoughts will be temperedby the recent tragic eventsin the community of New-town. Although I am grate-ful to live in the wonderfulTown of North Haven, mythoughts will be with each of

Staying warmand safe

It’s the time of yearwhen furnaces are calledback into action after a sea-sonal respite. Hopefully,you have had your furnacecleaned. Like any other en-gine, furnaces need main-tenance. Don’t wait untilyours breaks down. Thismight happen during awinter storm. You could bewithout heat and the re-pair might be more costlythan annual maintenance.Annual cleaning leads tomore efficient and safeheating.

A heating system thatdoes not function properlycan lead to carbon monox-ide poisoning, a quiet dead-

or taste it. But it can makeyou sick, or even kill youbefore you even know it’sthere.

Initial symptoms of car-bon monoxide poisoningmay be a headache anddizziness. Later symptomscan be a loss of conscious-ness, which can result in acoma. During the coldweather months when win-dows are closed and fur-

Quotes of note for the 2012 holidaysThe holidays have a way of sneaking up on us, despite all the ads, music, festivals, decorations,

cards, TV specials and on and on. Suddenly, it’s “the eve” and time to reflect on the passing of anotheryear and themysteries of the season. Below are a few quotes from thosewho have tread these times be-fore us and who offer bits of wisdom, humor and joy to see us on our way. Some are well-worn words;others put a new spin on old traditions. These warm thoughts make me smile and I hope you do, too.

You know you’re gettingold, when Santa starts lookingyounger.

~ Robert Paul

The Grinch hated Christ-mas - the whole Christmasseason. Oh, please don’t askwhy, no one quite knowsthe reason. It could be, per-haps, that his shoes were tootight. Or maybe his headwasn’t screwed on just right.

~ FFrroomm -- DDrr.. SSeeuussss’’ ““TThheeGGrriinncchh WWhhoo SSttoollee CChhrriissttmmaass””

“One of the most glorious messesin the world is the mess created inthe living room on Christmas day.Don’t clean it up too quickly.”

~ Andy Rooney

“A lovely thing aboutChristmas is that it’s com-pulsory, like a thunder-storm, and we all gothrough it together.”

~ From Leaving Home,Garrison Keillor

May the lights ofHanukkah usher in abetter world for allhumankind.~Author Unknown

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win usback to the delusions of our childhood days, re-call to the old man the pleasures of his youth,and transport the traveler back to his own fire-side and quiet home!

- Charles Dickens

Now, near theWinter Solstice, it isgood to light can-dles. All the nicemeanings of bring-ing light to theworld can be beauti-ful. But perhapswe are concentrat-ing on lighting theworld because wedon’t know how tolight up our ownlives.

~Ralph Levy,“Hanukkah - Another

I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christ-mas with a note on it saying, toys not included.

~ Bernard Manning

There’s nothing sadder in thisworld than to awake Christmasmorning and not be a child.

Christmas

One can never have enough socks,” said Dumbledore. “AnotherChristmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People willinsist on giving me books.”

~ From Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, J.K. Rowling

Dear Editor:I am 8 years old.Some of my little friends saythere is no Santa Claus.Papa says, ‘If you see it inThe Sun, it’s so.’Please tell me the truth, isthere a Santa Claus?”

Virginia O’Hanlon,

Yes, Virginia, there is a San-ta Claus. He exists as certain-ly as love and generosity anddevotion exist, and you knowthat they abound and give toyour life its highest beautyand joy. Alas! how drearywould be the world if therewere no Santa Claus! Itwould be as dreary as if therewere no Virginias. Therewould be no child-like faiththen, no poetry, no romanceto make tolerable this exis-tence. We should have no en-joyment, except in sense andsight. The eternal light withwhich childhood fills theworld would be extinguished.~ Excerpt from the editorialpage of The New York Sun,

written by Francis P. Church,Sept. 21, 1897

“Then stairs started get-ting harder,” he continued.“My calf muscles were thefirst to deteriorate. After six-to-seven months, I was finallydiagnosed after goingthrough a couple of doctors.”

Growing up in East Haven,Savo laced up skates andcompeted on ice since he wasthree years old. As an adult,he sought coaching opportu-nities. After joining thecoaching staff for NorthHaven’s junior-varsity teamlast season, Savo became in-volved with varsity this yearafter the top-level programabsorbed JV due to low num-bers of student participants.

“Hockey is my life,” Savosaid. “Being a part of theteam in North Haven andhelping kids has been a greatexperience. Hockey is anamazing sport.”

It’s also an exacting sportwhich demands players re-main physically and mental-ly tough at all times when onice. With hockey-fueled deter-mination in his blood since

childhood, Savo has re-mained firm against ALS.

“I’ve been one of the lucki-er ones,” he said. “Doctorssay it’s a three-to-five yeardisease — that’s how longyou’ve got after being diag-nosed. I’m going on fiveyears. And, looking back, Ican see signs of it in my lifegoing back ten years.”

“I’m fully functional,” headded. “I am still going towork every day.”

Savo owns a flooring com-pany, has a family with twoyoung children and finds

time to help NHHS hockey.To get on ice these days, hemust slip on special shoeswith rubber spikes. DuringNorth Haven games, thebusiness-owner sits up in thestands, calculating playerstatistics and searching foron-ice advantages.

“He was a phenomenalhockey player and is an inte-gral part of the team,” saidNHHS head coach TomRoche.

“He’s an inspiration,” saidNHHS hockey co-captainJim Piscitelli. “He’s a really

strong guy. His perseveranceis incredible. He never givesup. He knows a lot abouthockey, and he knows a lotabout life.”

In just two years with thehigh-school program, Savohas made an impact enoughthat the team, in fall, eagerlycame out in large numbers tosupport his other pursuit —ALS awareness. On theboard of directors for theALS Association Connecti-cut chapter, Savo helps or-ganize and participates inthe association’s annualWalk to Defeat ALS in NewHaven.

This past September,NHHS hockey members —and many other associates —joined Savo in walking andfundraising. With this sup-port, Savo himself raised$3,695 for ALS research andhis team, Savo’s Soldiers, col-lected $7,770, contributing toNew Haven’s 2012 Walk to De-feat ALS bringing in over$111,000.

“I know that I speak for theentire team when I say thatthat was not only a bondingexperience for us, but alsosomething that made us apart of the community asNorth Haven High Schoolhockey players,” said Ander-son. “To be a part of some-

thing like that was special.”“We helped raise aware-

ness about ALS that day,”Piscitelli said. “Our groupwas one of the biggestthere.”

Savo, who takes part in nu-merous ALS-awareness ac-tivities including testifyingto Congress in Washington,was thankful for the NorthHaven hockey turnout.

“To have that kind of sup-port was a great feeling,” hesaid. “It was incredible toknow that you have greatpeople who care about youand are willing to help youraise awareness about thisdisease. Because ALS is not adeath sentence. You have tostay positive and enjoy yourlife. If you have family andfriends like I do, you can sus-tain yourself with them.”

“And these kids, they seeme and know not to give up,”he continued. “I hope thatthey can see that and learnfrom me and keep truckingalong and know that lifethrows you some curveballsand you got to move withthem.”

The North Haven hockeyteam has begun wearing ALSstickers on their helmets

“Working with these kidsgives me the strength to goon,” Savo said.

By Kevin PatakySpecial to The Citizen

There were quite a few changes in thelandscape of Connecticut’s high school hock-ey over this past off-season. The teams with-in the CIAC have seen diminishing numbers,as some of the state’s better players left theirlocal high schools to go play at privateschools or just decided not to continue toplay. Several programs, like Wallingford’s Ly-man Hall (with Haddam Killingworth), hadto pair up with other programs to form co-ops just to get the numbers they needed tocontinue their program.

While still retaining the three-divisionstructure to separate level of play at thehigh-school level, the CIAC has seen a majorshift at their most difficult level play, from Di-vision I down to Division II, which is less dif-ficult. Many programs in Division II alsodowngraded to Division III as well, while noteams moved up to Division I and only a cou-ple moved up to Division II from III.

North Haven remained in Division I thisyear despite losing a fairly sizeable group oftalented seniors. Their 20-game 2012-13schedule is not as difficult as in recent years,as only half of those games are against Divi-sion I competition. As a member of the SCCconference, however, those 10 games willcome against some of the most difficult com-petition in the state.

The Indians captains for this season areseniors Jimmy Piscitelli and Karl Andersonand they are assisted by junior Vin Fasulo.They will be leading a squad of 21 composedof only seven seniors, eight juniors, foursophomores and two freshmen.

After a last minute cancellation of one oftheir two scheduled games against Division Irival Xavier, head coach Tom Roche indicat-ed there was a scramble to pick up a gameand said they were able to schedule a Divi-sion III matchup with the Hall-Southingtonco-op on last minute notice and that game

was supposed to be their sea-son opener away in WestHartford last Friday night.

Due to the Newtown shoot-ings that day, however, thegame was postponed until lat-er in the season.

So the Indians opened uptheir season at home againstDivision I opponent Sims-bury at the Northford IcePavillion on Saturday, sport-ing their new home throw-back jerseys with a light yel-lowish cream and maroonstyle.

Their opponents, the Tro-jans, are an up-and-comingDivision I team, and they re-turned many key playersfrom last season’s team thatturned a lot of heads late lastseason. After playing morethan three minutes of score-less first-period hockey, Sims-bury moved in front on a goalby Sean Gaffney and the Tro-

jans held that 1-0 lead at theend of the period.

In the second period, VinFasulo scored the Indians’first goal of the season to tiethe score at one apiece, butthe celebration was shortlived - 12 seconds to be exact -as Simsbury’s Brendan Law

tallied an unassisted goal forSimsbury to put them backin front for what turned outto be for good.

Ryan Carpenter scored aswell for Simsbury and theTrojans took a 3-1 lead intothe third period.

Simsbury would add a pair

of goals to finish off a 5-1win. “The score in this gamedoes not reflect what the sea-son is going to be,” saidNHHS head coach TomRoche. “We’re a lot betterthan that as a team. We strug-gled offensively and defen-sively, but I know that we canget better.”

The Indians fell to 0-1, andtheir next opponent is Divi-sion II Amity.

Education cost-sharingCommentary

By Kyle Swartz

School superintendentsand business directors fromarea municipalities are wiseto meet for brainstormingideas for pooling resourcesto conserves finances.

Although some signs ofnational and state economicrecovery are out there, theoverall financial landscapelikely will remain unstablefor the immediately foresee-able future. School budgetsprobably will be tight for atleast several more years.Hence, academic officialsare prudent to explore allstrategies for cost savings.

In recent times, NorthHaven, Wallingford, Meri-

den, Southington, Cheshireand Hamden all sent theirschool superintendents andbusiness chiefs to a confer-ence in Wallingford. Thecommendable goal was todiscuss ways in which dis-tricts could share expenses,such as attaining savingsthrough bulk purchases oreliminating redundancies.

Special education serviceswere one area considered —appropriately so. A signifi-cant portion of each schooldistrict’s annual budget isfor such programs, whichare state-mandated and,thus, difficult to adjust fis-cally. But since each districtmust provide similar op-tions, there could be overlap

in offerings among multiplemunicipalities — an oppor-tunity for monetarily help-ful cooperation.

For instance, Southingtonand Wallingford both may betransporting a local special-ed student to the same out-side district for symptom-specific help (a commonpractice). Working together,the two towns could sendboth kids on one van insteadof two separate vehicles. Asanother example, partneredmunicipalities could hireand share just one speechtherapist, instead of em-ploying six. Or administra-

tors could combine and con-dense programs so that allspecial-ed students are ac-counted for by only two-or-three schools total.

Participating superin-tendents and business man-agers also considered nu-merous other similar cost-sharing suggestions whichcould have promise. Theseincluded bulk purchase ofjanitorial supplies, consoli-dating alternative high-schools, collaboration withnecessary building mainte-nance and partnering incurriculum development.

These are all potentially

money-conserving planswhich could benefit all part-ners in this education con-sortium. Leaders on the sixmunicipalities’ governmentside should take notice. Asall civic decision-makerscontinue to contend withlimited budgets, increasedregionalization of servicescould permit nearby com-munities to conserve dollarstogether through economicand operational alliance.

naces are on, it claims itsgreatest number of victims.While the numbers are rela-tively small, it can and haskilled Connecticut familiesand made many persons veryill, including some who re-side within this health dis-trict.

Carbon monoxide comesfrom the incomplete burningof carbon-based fuels. Theseinclude gasoline, kerosene,home-heating fuels, fire-wood, and charcoal. If heat-ing devices are used properly

and if furnaces (and otherfuel-burning appliances) arein good working order, youhave little risk of carbonmonoxide poisoning.

In the U.S., there has beena steadily rising increase indeaths associated with car-bon monoxide poisoningfrom home generators. TheConsumer Product SafetyCommission (CPSC) offersthe following important in-formation:

— Using a generator in-doors can kill you inminutes. Generator exhaustcontains carbon monoxide.Read the label on your gen-erator and the owner’s man-ual. Follow the directionsgiven.

— Never use a generatorinside a home, in a base-ment, shed or garage, even ifdoors and windows areopen. Generators should al-ways be used outside, wellaway from windows, doors,vents or other home open-ings.

Since carbon monoxide isvirtually undetectable, yourbest home protection plan isprevention. CPSC and theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency offer the followingprevention steps:

— Vent all burning de-vices to the outside. Be suredampers are working.

— Maintain fireplacesand chimneys. Keep themclean and open.

— Have your furnace rou-tinely serviced and cleaned.Do not try to clean it your-self. This holds true for allfuel-burning equipment.People with expertise inequipment should performthe job.

— Never use charcoal/gasgrills or camping stoves in-tended for outdoor use in-side the house, a tent, or anyenclosed building, such as agarage. Do not run snowblowers, lawn mowers, oryour car inside an enclosedspace.

— Don’t ignore a smell offuel in your home. Thiscould indicate a leak.

— Don’t use a gas oven toheat your home, even for ashort time.

— Install at least one car-bon monoxide detector inyour home. It should beplaced near the sleepingarea of your home. It is rec-ommended that a second de-tector be placed at least 15feet from the furnace. If acarbon monoxide detectorsounds, get out of the houseand call the fire department.Important to note: Carbonmonoxide detectors are im-portant but they are not areplacement for proper use
