December is Amnesty Month at the library, when patrons with overdue books can have their fines for-given in exchange for a do-nated can good or a new toy to benefit the North Haven food and toy bank.

Librarian Pat Laturza ex-plained, “We are trying to get our long overdue books back, books from months or years ago. Some people may be embarrassed because they have an overdue book. I think they think that we are going to get angry with them, but we actually just want our books back.”

Laturza said that it felt

appropriate to honor the season of giving with a pro-gram that will allow resi-dents to avoid overdue fines, the library to receive long overdue books, and needy families to receive food and presents for their children.

“We are trying to promote this event as much as we can,” Laturza said, “We want to say to people, don’t let an overdue book stop you from using the library again.”

Laturza said that this isn’t the first time the library has conducted an amnesty pro-gram. “In the past we’ve only done it for a week,” Laturza said, “but we decided this is a great thing to do for the month of December, the sea-son of giving.”

Laturza said that she has seen a list of “everything that is long overdue” that is used to decide what new books should be ordered. Some of the missing books, Laturza said, are “out of print, so we have a hole in our collection.”

Laturza said that the li-brary does not have a spe-cific policy on whether donations should be per book or for complete am-nesty for as many books as patrons wish to return. “We’re leaving that to the people bringing the books back. Whatever they think is good. It doesn’t make a difference — we just want to get as many books and vid-eos returned as we can.”

Eight years ago, Jonathan Rose was in the middle of his senior year at North Haven High School. Last spring, he was on temporary assign-ment in the office of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, writing his talking points and helping him set up a lunch attended by the president of the Coca Cola company and Madeleine Albright. Appointed by President Bill Clinton, Albright was the first female secretary of state and is currently the director on the Board of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Rose, who returned to North Haven to visit his par-ents during the Thanksgiving holiday, participated in the Hometown Diplomats pro-gram. He visited North Haven High School, Nov. 26 and 27, to share his ex-

periences working with the State Department. Rose vis-ited a total of eight classes and talked to more than 100 students.

On Nov. 27, Rose visited Federico Fiondella’s 11th grade social studies class. Rose talked about working for the State Department and told students about exchange and hosting programs, as well as the National Security Language Initiative For Youth, a summer program that allows kids to travel to various foreign countries to learn languages including Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Persian, and Russian.

Rose told the students that he received two Critical

L a n g u a ge S c hol a r s h ip awards from the State Department to study Arabic in Tangier, Morocco in 2008

and in Muscat, Oman in 2010. Rose also interned at the Israel-Palestine Center for Research and Information

in Jerusalem, where he fo-cused on efforts to renew

Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.

Fiondella said traveling the world was an invaluable experience. “I have traveled extensively in Europe, to 26 countries now,” Fiondella said, “you learn quite a lot about that part of the world and become able to under-stand and ref lect on how much we have here… for in-stance [In the US] we rarely have trouble with running water, or electricity.”

Fiondella also described his experiences visiting Israel. He said that although Jerusalem was “a beautiful city, there is a lot of tension. I remember going into a caf-eteria to have a cup of coffee and write some letters home and I found out the next day that a suicide bomber had at-tacked the place.”

Rose invited students to ask questions after his pre-sentation. The most con-troversial question Rose said he received from a high school student was about the National Security Administration leaks. Rose

said there was very little he could say about it, except to refer students to the White House’s official statement on that topic.

Fiondella said that “Most Australian youngsters travel to a foreign country some-time between the ages of 16 and 24. It is culturally en-couraged by their families and by the schools… I encour-age it a hundred percent.”

Rose agreed that world travel “gives you a perspec-tive you cannot get anywhere else.” Rose said, “You find

that people in foreign coun-tries have a lot of the same thoughts, ideas, fears, and joys that you do.”

Rose also said that learn-ing foreign languages can be beneficial to students looking to increase their job prospects. “Many fields are now more international than ever. So if you can speak a foreign language, they will know they can send you to a branch in a foreign country or that you can help in deal-ing with clients from foreign countries.”

The cold weather is here to stay which means all that white stuff won’t be far be-hind. In preparation, the North Haven Ski Club is ac-cepting members for the up-coming season.

“Why pay full price on the slopes when we offer great discounts and lots of options to chose from,” said Annette Murphy, President of the North Haven Ski Club.

Ski club membership is $15 for students, $30 for a single membership, and $55 for a family. The North Haven Ski Club is one of 44 clubs that are part of the Connecticut Ski Council.

As a member, partici-pants receive a membership card, can buy pre-season d iscounted l i f t t ickets through the bulk ticket pro-gram — with no black-out dates — and take part in annual bus trips to area ski slopes. Children under age of 12 ride the bus for free when accompanied by a paying adult.

“Our club has such a great reputation that we have mem-bers from not only our town, but across the state, New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island,” Murphy said.

Powder Ridge Ski Resort in Middlefield re-opens this season and will likely be a destination for local ski enthusiasts.

group of skiers from Pratt & Whitney, has grown to nearly 300 members with trips to ski mountains in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Murphy says the age of its members range from young children to senior citizens and that skiing isn’t the only reason people join.

“We have some people in their 70s and 80s who come on the bus trips and go shoe skiing or cross country ski-ing,” Murphy said. “We also have some kids join us to go tubing. All they have to pay for is the bus fee.”

THEY CAN DO IT

Montowese School’s Leadership Council, made up of fourth and fifth grade students, worked diligently from Nov. 4 to 19 to collect non-perishable food items for the annual food drive. Students donated in canned goods to support North Haven Community Services. The committee made a thermometer to represent the amount of canned goods that were collected. The students wanted to make sure that people had food for Thanksgiving. The thermometer shows that 645 cans were collected. | (Submitted by Corki Cuomo)

Attendees at the open house held by the histor-ical society at the North Haven Cultural Center Nov. 30 could see one of the first clocks to exist in North Haven.

A tall case clock, on dis-play, featured wooden gears and was made between 1800 and 1820. According to the historical society, “local tax

lists reveal that in the several years before 1800 there were only six to 10 clocks taxed in North Haven households. By 1820, there was a big increase when 120 clocks were taxed in North Haven.”

H i s t o r i c a l s o c i e t y President Bob Iverson said “I love this one myself,” indict ing a pla in-look-ing wooden box. Iverson opened the box to reveal a finely crafted interior bear-ing the letters S F L. Iverson explained, “the tools in this box built the town hall and several of the houses around here.” The toolbox was used by Solomon Linsley, whom Linsley Street is named after. “He built most of the origi-nal buildings on that street,” Iverson said.

Iverson said that most of the historical societies arti-facts are donated. “People really want these things to be left behind so people can see them,” Iverson said.

More than 50 people at-tended the open house, which featured arrowheads, old sports jerseys, and many more historical artifacts. The historical society sold Christmas cards and books during the event, which was free to attend and will return Saturday, Dec 7.

Mukund Nori, governor-elect of Rotary District 7980, recently reviewed the benefits of service to others to the North Haven Rotary Club. | (Submitted)

During a recent visit to the North Haven Rotary Club, District Governor Elect Mukund Nori, a member of the North Branford club, de-scribed the variety of sup-port, whether local, district, or global, that exists within the Rotary community. Natural disasters, such as the typhoon in the Philippines, are common causes that unite Rotarians across the globe.

Rotary District 7980 has teamed up with ShelterBox to help affected families. Over 800,000 people in the Philippines are now homeless and without food or clean wa-ter. A typical ShelterBox con-tains a family tent, blankets, water purification, cooking

utensils, a stove, a tool kit, a children’s activity pack, and other vital items. Trained vol-unteers deliver the kits and demonstrate their use. In re-sponse to the severe need, the North Haven Rotary Board of Directors voted to send a $2,000 donation.

Nori explained that ev-ery dollar donated is used for a particular cause and is not for administrative costs. In Rotary, these expenses are covered through interest bearing accounts which are only drawn from after three years have passed.

A 2,900 square foot gym could be one step closer to opening in North Haven af-ter the most recent Planning and Zoning meeting Dec. 2. More than 30 people were in attendance during this partic-ular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. During the meeting, Mario F. Coppola, Esq. presented a request for an amendment to the zoning regulations.

The current entry allows “indoor tennis courts with locker rooms and lounge fa-cilities and indoor baseball training facility with locker rooms and lounge facilities.” The new amendment adds “indoor gymnastics training facilities with locker rooms and lounge facilities” to al-lowed facilities in certain in-dustrial zones.

This change makes it pos-sible for Thomas Alberti, owner and operator of New Era Gymnastics, to move to North Haven from Hamden. Alberti told The Citizen he

has been looking for a larger space for over a year and that amending the regulations is “just the first step, and noth-ing is official as of yet, but this is the first of many hurdles to clear” for a move to North Haven.

Copolla argued that the change fits in with “a trend that allows use of recreation in industrial zones” and that although there are currently no plans for Alberti’s training facility to include showers or locker rooms, the suggested language of the amendment was intended to keep the ad-dition consistent with the language describing the other allowed recreational facilities in industrial zones.

Four letters in favor of the change were presented to the commission and more than 17 people, including several chil-dren, raised their hands to in-dicate that they were present in support of the amendment. Chairman Vern Carlson said that the commission “feels comfortable with this type of use.” The commission in-dicated that although they

“did not want to cut anyone off,” input from the public in support of the amendment would be not be necessary to sway the commission’s deci-sion, as they were in favor of the change. James Giulietti thanked those who attended in support of the amendment. None present spoke up when the chairman asked if any were opposed.

After hearing that the commission was in favor of the amendment, none of the members of the public chose to speak and most soon left the meeting.

The planning and zoning commission was delayed be-cause of a need to reschedule the organizational meeting, which will be presided over by First Selectman Michael Freda.

The commission approved the site plan and liquor li-cense for a new package store at 585 Washington Avenue, which will replace the va-cant former Sips Café. The new package store met all re-quirements, being 800 feet away from a church and over 1800 feet away from another liquor store.

The Arc facility in North Haven presented a site plan for an expansion that will al-low Arc to add 8 more par-ticipants and 2-3 more staff members. Arc provides non-vocational day support programs for adults with significant, documented in-tellectual disabilities. The expansion will maintain a similar staff-to-participant

ratio, which is around 2.6. All programs and services are previously approved.

Other approved site plans included a change to an exist-ing Dunkin Donuts to allow rented office space, a new doctor’s office, and a pro-pane tank refilling site at BJ’s

Wholesale Club. The commission also re-

cently received information requested from Quinnipiac University that will help it enforce zoning regulations that do not permit more than 3 unrelated adults to share a residence.

Connex Credit Union recently donated over $800 to Connecticut Arts for Learning as part of its commu-nity giving program. The donated fees were raised from the fees collected by Connex’s coin-cashing machine. Connex charges a fee for coin chasing and donates the fees to organizations in the community.

Local non-profit and charitable organizations inter-ested in participating in the “Coins for Change” program should contact Chris Whalen at (203) 603-5787.

More than 50 people at-tended an open house held by the historical society and the art guild at the North Haven Cultural Center Nov. 30. This event, which re-turns Saturday, Dec. 7, al-lowed members of the public to view artifacts owned by the historical society as well as art created by members of the North Haven Art Guild. The event was staffed by vol-

unteers, who also provided free refreshments.

Art Guild co-presidents Joe and Mary Lou Fiore ex-plained that members of the art guild created holi-day-themed paintings and crafts, including pillows, watercolors, and postcards. Some original pieces, prints, and crafts were priced for sale by each individual artist. “Whatever they sell is theirs,” Joe Fiore said.

Works from the theme show in October —“Creatures of the sea, lakes, and skies” —

were also on display, includ-ing a cross made entirely out of sea shells.

Retired firefighter and self-taught watercolorist Ralph Peccerillo, who Mary Lou Fiore described as “a big quiet man” submitted several

holiday paintings, including a still life of a nutcracker on a mantelpiece with other hol-iday ornaments.

The Art Guild features more than 50 members from North Haven, North Branford, Clinton and other

nearby towns. The guild is currently seeking new par-ticipants, and will soon hold a demonstration of colored pencils lead by a recent member. The Guild will hold its next public events in the Spring starting in February.

It has been 60 years since the Korean Armistice and American soldiers quietly came home to move on with their lives. On Sunday, Dec. 8, the Korean and American community will gather to honor area veterans who served in the war with a multi-cultural event at the Hamden Middle School. The event will start at 2:30 p.m. in the school’s audito-rium, 2623 Dixwell Avenue in Hamden.

“This will be an opportu-nity for learning, recogniz-ing the sacrifices of Korean War veterans, and some great entertainment as well,” said Abner Oakes, chairman of the Hamden Veterans Commission. Oakes went on to say, “the support from the

Korean-American groups has been gratifying.” Bruce Cha, a local dentist, put it more directly. “My family was in North Korea during the war and if not for the A merican sold iers , we never would have gotten out. Many, many Korean families we a great deal to these vet-erans and we want to show our appreciation.” The pro-gram will feature interviews of Korean War veterans, several Korean cultural per-formance groups including a traditional fan dance, Tae Kwon Do exhibition, and the New Haven Korean Church Choir.

Often depicted as “The Forgotten War,” the efforts of American and United Nations troops helped South Korea become the economic powerhouse it is today. Ed Shultz, chair of a local Korean War veterans group pointed out “You know, the war never officially ended. We don’t have as many mem-bers in our group as we used to. Sixty years is a long time but it is good to know what we did was worthwhile.”

Sunday’s event will also highlight some of the eco-nomic achievements of both

Korean War veterans to be honored‘Forgotten War’ Remembered With A Multi-Cultural Event

South Korea and America since the 1953 cease-fire agreement. With the ack-drop of North Korean’s continued provocations, the close relationship between America and South Korea has only grown stronger.

This event was the idea of Arthur Erickson of Beecher & Bennett who

brought together the area Korean community, vet-erans groups, and others to honor area veterans of the Korean War. Sponsors i n c l u d e t h e H a m d e n Vetera ns Com m ission , the Greater New Haven Chapter 204 Korean War Vetera n s A ssoc i at ion , Korean American Society of

Ski

the ski club has been a fam-ily affair. She first met her husband 28 years ago on a ski club bus trip. Now mar-ried with two kids, they have been running the program for nearly 12 years and still are active on the slopes. Their daughter and son, who are in their 20s, have even helped her run some of the trips in the past.

“Being part of the club is a great way to pass the winter and an opportunity to form friendships,” Murphy said.

The ski season runs from

the end of November through April 13th. Membership is open at any time during the season but Murphy advises joining early to take advan-tage of the discounts.

“Due to the tough econ-omy, numbers have been down over the last few years but this year is looking good with spots filling up fast,” Murphy said.

The ski club does not han-dle renting ski gear or lessons; those interested will need to contact the ski mountain di-rectly to make arrangements.

For more information on the Ski Club or for an applica-tion, contact Annette Murphy at [email protected].

The North Haven Middle School, in pursuit of the contin-uation of a kind, compassionate, positive and safe school cli-mate, recently hosted Rachel’s Challenge. Rachel’s Challenge is a series of student empowering programs and strategies that equip students and adults to combat bullying and allay feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of kind-ness and compassion.

The programs are based on the writings and life of 17-year-old Rachel Scott, who was the first student whose life was taken at Columbine High School in 1999. Rachel left a leg-acy of reaching out to those who were different, who were picked on by others, or who were new at her school. All North Haven Middle School students attended assemblies and the North Haven High School Diversity Club also attended a training session. A community event was led by the Rachel’s Challenge presenter, DeeDee Cooper, that evening.

Letters to the Editor

The first time I ever per-sonally witnessed a deer/

vehicle in-cident is etched into my mind forever! To say that it was scary and horrific would be a gross under-statement.

In our many years

of traveling to our former place in New York, Edna and I have seen the results of way too many deer and vehicle collisions along the New York highways. The smashed bodies of the deer would be left and sometimes a part or two from the vehi-cle involved, and they were many. However, we seemed to be lucky because we were not included in the deer/ve-hicle statistics.

One year I broke my an-kle in New York and this meant that Edna was forced to drive my pickup truck while I enjoyed the scenery as a passenger. We were on County Route 8 heading to-ward Norwich, N.Y. at about 1:30 in the afternoon when I caught a flash of movement on the passenger side of the road.

A small deer jumped the fence onto the road in front of us as I yelled, “DEER!” How Edna missed hitting the deer I will never know, although she says it was her “superior” driving skills.

However, coming down the highway in the oncom-ing lane was a small white automobile, and now the deer was in his lane, leav-ing the driver the choice of swerving and hitting us head on or staying in his lane and hitting the deer.

Thankfully, the driver took the deer!

The resulting collision set off the two airbags in the car after the hood and fenders were smashed in. Somehow, the driver only received a minor abrasion on one of his arms, but he was really shaken up. The vehicle was smashed and had to be towed away.

As is usually the case (but not always), the deer received the worst end of the whole deal and suffered three broken legs as well as internal injuries and expired almost immediately. Sad to say, this is not always the case and many times the deer make it into the woods only to die after a log period of suffering.

In our many trips to New York, we would also come upon a deer/vehicle scene on Route 17 in the town of Livingston Manor. This time

it was in the dark of night and an eastbound traveler warned us via C.B. Radio that there was an acci-dent involving a deer and a motor. Deer parts were all over the highway and the three people in the vehicle all went to the hospital by ambulance.

I still receive an outdoor publication, the New York Outdoor News, and it had a deer/vehicle article that prompted me to do this col-umn. It seems that a New York family was cruising the country roads enjoying the fall foliage when a six-point buck flew through one side of their minivan and out the other, leaving them show-ered with glass and in shock wondering what had just happened.

The driver of the vehicle said that if her daughter had not been lying down on the seat of the van she would have been killed. The fa-ther and daughter had to be treated for minor injuries at a hospital and were released. The deer died of its injuries. They were very fortunate because every year over 200 human lives are lost on our highways due to a deer/ve-hicle incident.

Another article of interest was also spotted in the New York Outdoor News regard-ing deer run-ins with motor-cycle riders in Minnesota. According to the news clip,

Deer population growth demands action By Mike RobertsSpecial to The Citizen

Mike Roberts

Woods ‘n Water

motorcycle riders were warned to be especially careful on the highways the past two months because the deer were breeding and were quite active crossing many highways. As of Nov. 1, seven motorcyclists had been killed in deer/vehi-cle collisions in that state, matching that number back in 2006 and there was still better than a month to go. Over the last three years there were 16 fatalities, and all but one of them were on motorcycles.

When in New York, I stopped at a local conve-nience store in the town of Guilford and the lady be-hind the counter knew me and also knew that I was a deer hunter. When I came in she said, “You know, you don’t have to be a deer hunter to get a deer in New York.”

I picked up on her com-ment right away and asked, “Why, did you hit one?”

She said that she did hit a large doe that had jumped in front of her car and was dead as soon as she hit it. Fortunately, she did not get hurt. The damage to her vehicle would cost her in-surance about $2,400. Also, this was the fourth time she has hit a deer in New York. And you should note that if you do not have collision in-surance on your vehicle and hit a deer in Connecticut, all repair expenses would come out of your pocket be-cause the state is not liable.

Over the years I have had four close calls with deer and almost became a sta-tistic, but I was just plain lucky. Two incidents were in New York (not count-ing the one when Edna was driving) and two were right here in Connecticut.

In New York, one night when heading back home after deer hunting I ob-

served three does in a cut-over cornfield, and while I was watching them a big buck was running right down the dirt road towards my truck. I swerved my truck to the left and the deer went in the same direction. I almost pinned it into the brush alongside the road be-fore it made its escape.

Another time I was on my way to our former place in New York and was simply admiring the fall foliage. It was about 8:30 in the morn-ing and I was so engrossed in the foliage I didn’t see the deer crossing right in front

From Page 14

of me. I swerved the truck to the right and glanced off of a guardrail receiv-ing only a couple of minor scratches on the door of the truck.

Both times in Connecticut I had does hit the side of my truck while I was on my way to go deer hunting. One time I was in Hebron and the other time happened in Haddam, and fortunately they were only glancing blows.

It is interesting to note that while reported deer/vehicle incidents help the state to keep statistics on the incidents, all too many times when they happen and the deer run off into the woods they are not re-ported if the vehicle is still

operable. Many of these deer that seemingly escape, will die a slow and painful death even though they may appear unhurt at the time.

Just to prove my point, a New York hunting buddy of mine, retired State Trooper John Mullin, was hunting from a deer stand on our land in New York. It was an afternoon hunt and John said he had made his way into a stand we called,“The Swamp Stand,” and after sitting a while he gave a few deer grunts on his deer call. As he grunted, he saw a slight movement in the swamp where it was a bit thicker with underbrush.

This went on for about 15 minutes and John got down out of the stand to investi-

gate. He came upon a large eight-point buck lying on its side. Mullin said the deer looked terrible and the stench of rotting flesh was overpowering, but the deer was still alive.

John put the buck out of its misery with one shot. On taking a closer look af-ter it was dead, John said it looked like a vehicle had hit it and the deer had made it this far into the woods before it collapsed from its wounds.

I tell you this only to make a point of how terri-bly wrong those that oppose hunting are when they tell you that by leaving a deer herd to increase unchecked is in the best interest of the deer. Ask someone who was

involved in a deer/vehicle incident how he or she feels about it.

Here in Connecticut, deer hunting is used as a wildlife management tool to keep the deer numbers down and in balance with the available habitat. Did you know that a deer herd could almost double in size on a yearly basis if there were no hunters to keep the population numbers down? One can only imagine the chaos on our state roads if there were no deer hunting allowed.

That’s it gang, gotta run. See ya’ and God Bless America and watch over our troops wherever they may be serving our great country.

State

M A NCH EST ER (A P) — As Connecticut pushes aggressively to expand so-lar energy to homes across the state, few supporters are more enthusiastic than Eugene DeJoannis.

The retired mechanical engineer from Manchester has long been a booster of green energy and boasts a keen interest in home en-ergy issues. He’s now serv-ing as a volunteer solar ambassador promoting a state program that subsi-dizes home solar projects and urges homeowners to participate.

“I have a personal fasci-nation with the residential energy picture,” DeJoannis said. “Whenever we go to church, I invariably take out my literature and dis-play it there.”

Backed by a $27 mil-l ion fund suppl ied by utility ratepayers, a cam-paign known as Solarize Connecticut joins as many homeowners as possible to lower the cost of residen-tial solar installation. It annually earmarks $9 mil-

lion of the available fund-ing to finance residential installation by solar panel businesses competitively picked.

The intent is to boost nonpolluting energy, re-duce demand on the elec-tric grid relied upon by utilities and cut depen-dence on overseas sources of power such as oil.

Bob Wall , director of marketing and outreach at Connecticut’s Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority, said the agency is running solar panel in-stallation campaigns in 22 of the state’s 169 towns and cities and has completed so-lar energy installation cam-paigns in nine towns.

In the past 22 months, 2,160 residential solar sys-tems contracts have been approved.

Gary and Debbie Sweet, looking for information about putting solar pan-els on their house, at-tended a recent meeting in Manchester organized by state energy officials, bank-ers and solar installers. Sweet, an architect, said solar panels could slash his electricity costs.

“It doesn’t cost me any-

thing. Why not?” he said.The cost to homeown-

ers is significantly reduced, and although it’s touted by Connecticut as a “once in a lifetime bargain,” it’s not free. Glenn Cucinell, solar division manager at Encon Solar Energy Division , which won the contract to install solar panels on homes in Ma nchester, said a typical system in Connecticut would cost about $24,000.

After a state rebate of about $8,000 and a 30 per-cent federal tax credit available for the remain-ing $16,000, a homeowner’s cost for a residential so-lar system would be cut by more than half, to $8,000 to $12,000, which can be paid for in long-term financing.

Connecticut ’s subsidy is not unusual. Virtually every state offers loans, grants, rebates and other in-centives to support broader use of residential solar pan-els, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. “It’s an incentive driven indus-try at this point,” Cucinell said.

In 2010, the most re-cent year for which sta-tistics are available, solar

energy received $1.13 bil-lion in federal subsidies in the form of direct spend-ing, research, tax benefits and loans, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In contrast, wind power received nearly $5 billion in subsidies, and coal was the beneficiary of $1.36 billion in subsidies.

Andy Pusateri, a utilities analyst at Edward Jones, said solar power will not be weaned off federal and state subsidies anytime soon. Wind power is the fastest growing alternative source of power, but solar energy has a greater growth poten-tial, he said.

“We’re still a ways off from a competitive gener-ation source without subsi-dies,” he said.

Pusateri said politics is a factor behind the push for public subsidies of solar energy.

“Democrats tend to favor renewable energy,” he said. “I think that’s driving that.”

T he sola r ca mpa ig n is part of a broader ef-fort by Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to rework Connecticut’s energy pol-icy. It includes a greater re-liance on hydropower from Canada, an increase in nat-ural gas connections to homes and businesses and a push for renewable power such as solar.

DeJoannis promises to keep at it with his campaign for home solar projects.

“There’s a garden club meeting tonight. Maybe I can break in there,” he said.

The North Haven Camera Club provides an oppor-tunity for members to meet, share and develop pho-tographic skill in a friendly, supportive environment.

The club meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 7 p.m. at the North Haven Parks and Recreation Building, 7 Linsley St. For more informa-tion, email [email protected].

StatePoint – Cooler tem-peratures often bring along the season’s sniffles and colds. With a few winter wellness tips, you can pre-pare for a happier and health-ier season, regardless of your budget, with the following tips from the lifestyle experts at Dollar General.

• Preventive care. A nutri-tious diet and plenty of rest can help you stay strong this winter so consider keeping juices, vegetables and fruits in your fridge all winter long.

You can improve your nu-tritional balance and overall wellness with vitamins and supplements. Trusted Rexall-branded products, available exclusively at Dollar General, offer vitamins and minerals including immunity-boosting Vitamin C and multivitamins to combat potential illnesses. You can also purchase these items in bulk online to save money and trips to the store.

• Stock your medicine cab-inet. When illness strikes, the last thing you’ll want to do is rush to the store. A well-stocked medicine cabinet can save a trip when you’re feel-ing your worst. Keep over-the-counter cold and flu relief medications on-hand for both day and night, as well as cough suppressant and a general

pain reliever. Parents should ensure they have medications suitable for children, too.

• Germ-free. While germs exist year-round, your body may be more susceptible to cold and flu viruses in winter. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly and use a hand sanitizer.

• Healthy skin. Skin is

prone to dryness in winter, so apply moisturizer as soon as you get out of the shower. If possible, ditch the scalding hot showers for warm wa-ter, as heat can be very dry-ing. Don’t forget that the sun’s rays can be just as po-tent in winter as in summer, so don’t neglect the sunscreen and lip balm just because of

The holidays are com-ing. Families will be vis-iting and sharing hugs, kisses and handshakes. Along with this exchange of affection, germs will be passed from one to another. Protect infants by protecting yourself against pertussis.

Quinnipiack Valley Health District offers the pertussis vaccine (in the form of Tdap-tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, babysit-ters and other caregivers or contacts of newborns and infants 12 months and younger. Those over age

18 and have never had a Tdap vaccine, (a com-bined booster immuniza-tion containing tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis protection) are eligible to receive the vaccine. A $10 administration fee is requested. (No one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay this fee.) Immunization clinics are held every four to six weeks. The next clinic is scheduled for Dec. 4, from 4 to 4:40 p.m.

For more information, call QVHD at (203) 248-4528 or visit www.qvhd.org for clinic dates and times.

Pertussis vaccineStay well this winter

With some preparation, staying healthy in winter can be easy and affordable.

the cool temperatures.• Soup’s on. Start all your

winter meals with a warm bowl of soup full of protein, vegetables and liquids. If you don’t have the time to make soup from scratch, health-ful and delicious ready-made soup can be a great alternative.

• Stay active: Don’t let your exercise routine fall by the wayside in winter.

Exercise can improve your immunity and also help keep winter pounds at bay. If you don’t have a gym member-ship, gear up with exercise apparel designed for cooler temperatures and pound the pavement or pop in an exer-cise video at home.

The NHHS football team entered Thanksgiving Day in 10th place in the Class L standings. To qualify for the state playoffs, the Indians not only needed to defeat Amity on that cold, blustery morn-ing in Woodbridge, they also needed a number of other things to go their way around the state.

The Indians completed their end of the deal, de-feating Amity in convincing fashion, 41-14, to improve to 9-2 on the season. The locals then sat back and watched the rest of the day’s schedule unfold.

Everything fell into place: Naugatuck lost to Ansonia, and then six other teams North Haven needed to win did so, pushing the locals to No. 7 in Class L. Eight teams qualify.

North Haven earned a date with Platt (11-0) in Tuesday’s quarterfinal round.

North Haven won the coin toss against Amity and opted to kick off.

The Spartans’ offense sputtered, could not gain a first down, and was forced to punt into a steadfast wind.

The Indians capitalized on the great field position. They quickly got on the board, as Cole Pecora ran around the left end on fourth-and-seven for a 22-yard touchdown.

Amity’s next possession also ended with a short punt, and the Indians again capi-talized, this time with a 38-yard drive culminated with a 10-yard TD run by Mike Montano.

Tr a i l i n g 1 2 - 0 , t h e Spartans’ third drive moved across midfield but ulti-mately stalled.

North Haven then ate up a good part of the second quarter clock with a me-thodical eight-play, 78-yard drive which ended with Montano’s second touch-down, this one from 18 yards out.

On the two-point con-version attempt, quarter-back Mike Halloran passed to Ethan Suraci, who made a leaping catch in the end zone to make it a 20-0 game.

The Spartans finally got something going and scored a touchdown from a yard out on a QB keeper to make the score 20-7 at halftime.

Just as it appeared Amity was climbing back into the game, on their first drive of the third quarter, Chris Brockett made a diving interception to give the Indians the ball back. Suraci then crashed through the line for a five-yard score.

Sabrina Fronte’s extra point kick made the tally 28-7.

Suraci added a 10-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and Tom Gallagher followed with a seven-yard score as North Haven ran away and hid.

Suraci led the Indian of-fense with 16 carries for 121 yards (1,003 yards on the season) and two touch-downs. Halloran had 19 car-ries for 100 yards. Montano had 10 carries for 74 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Patrick Mikos led the North Haven defense with 14 tackles.

On a perfect day, the crowds came out in droves to support our North Haven Youth Flag Football champi-onship game between first-place Executive Jeep/Nissan and the reigning champions, North Haven Funeral Home.

Led by Coach Chris Cargan, Executive had a stel-lar 6-1 record during the reg-ular season and was the No. 1 seed heading into the play-offs. They beat Bella Tile to advance to the championship game.

Coach Adam Pandolfi’s North Haven Funeral Home squad finished the regular season with a 3-4 record and was the only team to beat powerhouse Executive, 28-19. Funeral Home beat Sports Plus to make a return trip to the championship game.

Game on!Funeral Home won the toss

and elected to go on offense first.

On the very first play from scrimmage, Tariq Elmammann took the snap, faked a hand off and went

70 yards for the game’s first touchdown.

Trailing 6-0, Executive took over on their own 30 and me-thodically moved the ball downfield with precise block-ing behind the hard running of Nicholas Magro and Drew Grillo.

After a few first downs, however, Executive turned the ball over. Funeral Home was able to stuff Executive on fourth-and-sixth.

K e y t a c k l e s b y Elmammann, Gary Konopka, Adam Pandolfi, Mike Masto, Tyler Harger and Dustin Arsich proved to be huge in the game. Konopka also had an interception.

Funeral Home took over on their own 15. After a five-yard gain by Konopka, Pandolfi went off tackle and broke through the secondary for an 80-yard touchdown. Key blocks from 6-year-olds Chris Kottage and Ralphie Consiglio sprung Pandolfi for the score.

The extra point was good to make it 13-0 at the half.

The Funeral Home de-fense bent but never broke as it prevented Executive from gaining huge yardage plays. Magro had 13 carries and ran for 105 yards while Max Cargan made five key tackles for Executive.

Funeral Home added two more touchdowns on runs from Elmammann of 65 and 21 yards as their lead ballooned to 26-0 late in the fourth.

On the final drive of the game, Executive’s Magro scampered 43 yards, break-

ing seven tackles along the way. Grillo then went sweep left for a 25-yard touchdown to make the final score 26-6.

Tyler DiMauro and 6-year-old Jake Pieper both had a great game for Executive.

Hamden Hall Country Day School is pleased to announce that State Sen. Leonard Fasano, R-34, is among the premier induct-ees into the school’s inaugu-ral Athletic Hall of Fame.

Fasano, a North Haven resident, graduated from Hamden Hall in 1977 and is a past parent and for-mer trustee. He is the pres-ident and founder of Fasano, Ippolito and Lee L.L.C. in New Haven, where he rep-resents clients in southern Connecticut, primarily on land transactions and zon-ing matters.

Inductees also include New Haven Legal Assistance deputy director Alexis Highsmith Smith, local at-torney Alphonse Ippolito, author and media person-ality Chris Kuselias, former Hamden Hall basketball coach David Beckerman and the 1962-’63 basketball team.

All will be honored for their contributions both on the field and in the commu-

nity at the Athletic Hall of Fame induc-tion dinner April 12, 2014.

“This inaugural class truly ref lects the values and stan-dards of excellence representative of a Hamden Hall edu-cation,” said Head of School Bob Izzo. “The four individu-als were stellar students and athletes, coach Beckerman and his basketball program are legendary, and the 1963 basketball team established a legacy for our entire ath-letic program.”

Fasano, who has served in the state Senate since January 2003 is the current Senate Minority Leader Pro Tempore, earned his bache-lor of science degree at Yale University in 1981. He went on to earn a Juris Doctorate from Quinnipiac Law School in 1984 and graduated from Boston University Law School a year later with an

L .L .M. degree in taxation.

Whi le at Ya le , Fasano played run-ning back for the Yale varsity foot-ball program un-der legendary coach Carmen Cozza.

At Hamden Hall, Fasano served as co-captain of the varsity football team

in his senior year and played varsity basketball.

“Play i ng footba l l a t Hamden Hall was a dream come true for me as a teen-age boy, and the experience taught me the importance of teamwork, leadership and being part of something big-ger than myself. I am deeply grateful to be inducted into the new Athletic Hall of Fame,” said Fasano, whose son, Robert, also played foot-ball for the Hamden Hall Hornets.

“Hamden Hall has meant so much to me and my fam-ily. Every member of the

Fasano among inaugural Hall of Fame inductees

Sen. Leonard Fasano

faculty and athletic depart-ment contribute to a nurtur-ing and caring environment that instills a sense of pur-pose, hard work and social responsibility in each and every student.”

Hamden Hall established the Athletic Hall of Fame to acknowledge and celebrate exceptional coaches, play-ers, teams, and supporters of the school’s premier athletic program.
