After almost a year of liti-gation, it appears Bob Burnshas gotten his town meeting.

The Board of Selectmanpassed a motion 2-1 on March4 to warn a special townmeeting on whether or not toreinstate Burns’ formertown job, the engineer-twoposition, which was elimi-nated with the passing of the2009-10 town budget onMarch 18, 2009 by the Boardof Finance.

The special town meetingis contingent on Burns’ with-drawal of his pending legalactions against the town,First Selectman Michael Fre-da said March 4. The specialtown meeting has not yetbeen scheduled, according toBurns’ attorney Chip Walsh,of Licari, Walsh, andSklaver, New Haven.

The selectmen passed themotion after almost twohours of executive sessionswith new town attorneyWilliam Ryan on Feb. 25 andMarch 4. Freda and secondselectman Tim Doheny votedfor the town meeting.

“I believe that given thefacts, and the pros and consof the case, this is the best so-lution for the town of NorthHaven,” Doheny said beforethe vote.

A ‘yes’ vote at Burns’ spe-cial town meeting would re-instate the $60,000 engineer-two position.

“I know that economictimes are tough, but the resi-dents of town can decide theright thing to do,” Dohenysaid.

Third selectman SteveFontana voted against themotion.

“I’m primarily concernedabout the precedent thiswould set,” Fontana said be-fore the vote. “I think that bygranting a special townmeeting for this purpose, wewill hamstring [the select-men’s] ability and the Boardof Finance’s ability in man-aging the budget going for-ward. I can imagine scenar-ios in which this would com-plicate a job that is already sodifficult.”

“Having a town meetingfor this purpose is not in thetown’s best interest,”Fontana added. “I am notaware of any demonstratedneed for the particular job inthis town.”

After the vote, Dohenysaid that the board would notanswer questions on the mo-tion because Burns’ litiga-tion is still active. Freda andRyan both declined com-ment.

On April 15, 2009, theBoard of Finance again vot-ed down the reinstatement ofBurns’ position. On May 4,the Board of Selectman vot-ed against recognizingBurns’ petition for a specialtown meeting, even thoughthe petition contained 24 sig-natures of town residents,surpassing the 20 signaturesnecessary for the petition tobe recognized. Former FirstSelectman Janet McCartyand then-second selectmanSteve Fontana voted againstBurns, and then-third select-man Freda voted for recog-nizing the petition.

In response, Walsh filedfor a writ of mandamus to re-quest that a higher courtoverrule the May 4 decision.On Sept. 30, New Haven

Anthem defends 28 percentincrease for town employees


Representatives from Anthem Blue CrossBlue Shield met March 4 with the Board ofSelectmen to discuss Anthem’s projected 28percent health insurance increase, as ex-pressed in the 2010-2011 town budget.

One reason for the hike was an increase inthe town’s claims, according to MatthewBowker, Anthem’s North Haven accountmanager. Bowker said that town claims from2009 and 2010 equaled $7.49 million, a 21.86percent increase from $6.14 million in 2008-2009.

Bowker added that a national change inlifestyles was also part of the hike, as the cur-rent economic recession has increased thenation’s stress level. a The state’s subsidizingof COBRA insurance also affected the hike,

Bowker said, as Connecticut is “one of themore heavily-mandated states.”

Bowker said that if North Haven’s claimstrended downward in the near future, itwould be represented in Anthem costs. “Ifthe claims are improving, then the savingswill be given back to you,” he said.

“If February claims are dramatically re-duced, it will help our cause,” said First Se-lectman Michael Freda. “And with the claimshistory analysis, every month that goes bycould help us before we decide what to do.”

Third selectman Steve Fontana asked whyAnthem had previously projected a lower re-newal cost when bidding to gain the townback from ConnectiCare. Bowker answeredthat the town’s claims have changed signifi-cantly since then. “There have been 10

On a cold and overcastWednesday afternoon, agroup of women belongingto the Purple Red Hatters en-joyed a delicious Italianluncheon while filling an en-tire room at the AmericanLegion Hall with love, laugh-ter, and fun among friends.The women were dressed inpurple attire and red hats,and spent the afternoon so-cializing and sharing memo-ries.

“The Purple Red Hattersare a great group of womencommitted to one anotherthrough friendship and gen-erosity,” stated JudyAmarone, director of thesenior center. “I think thisgroup allows women the op-portunity to form friend-ships in a fun and responsi-

ble way.”Amarone explained that

the Purple Red Hatters wasformed eight years ago at thecenter. It is made up of 50members. The members paydues, have monthly non-board meetings, wear purpleand red, and partake in out-ings, luncheons, parties, andactivities.

“We go by the rules andguidelines set forth by thehead organization in Califor-nia,” explained member Do-ryce Blake-Coon. “The Pur-ple Red Hatters is a nationalsociety with yearly registra-tion. It’s for women whowant to have fun.”

The women are alwaysbusy doing various activitiessuch as taking trips, diningout at local restaurants, at-tending annual dinners inMay and December, going toa spring fashion show spon-

sored by Dress Barn in Ham-den, doing flower arranging,and attending the annualpicnic on the town green inthe summer. They also enjoylistening to music providedby entertainers includingthe Mariche Band, VinnieCarr, and Rich DePalma.

“I enjoy belonging be-cause it gives me a chance tosee people and talk to themand do leisurely activities,”said member Viola Plant.“They are a great group ofwomen.”

Plant added that there areseveral titles that the grouphas, including Queen Moth-er, Princess-in-Waiting, Mis-tress of Ceremony, Lawyer,and Committee Leaders. Allmembers over 50 years oldwear purple and red hatswhile those under 50 wearpink and lavender. Thegroup is a non-profit organi-

zation that holds monthlymeetings on the secondWednesday of each month.

“We love being together,seeing everyone, helpingeach other, and having a goodtime,” said member JennyValentino. “Today’s lunchconsisted of salad, garlicbread, stuffed shells, fruitpunch, and dessert. After en-joying a delicious meal, welistened to the music of en-tertainer Rich DePalma.”

The name Purple Red Hat-ters was voted on by mem-bers from the organizationin California. The colors pur-

ple and red draw the atten-tion of the crowd while rep-resenting love, friendship,and warmth added Valenti-no.

Controversy over residency of North Haven voter Alexandra PenfoldBy Kyle Swartz


First Selectman MichaelFreda will be encouragingthe State Election Enforce-ment Commission to investi-gate accusations that NorthHaven’s Registrar of Voters’Office inappropriately re-leased personal informationabout town voter AlexandraPenfold.

“I would encourage a stateinvestigation,” Freda saidFriday. “I want to find outwhat happened. I will be per-sonally meeting with theState Election EnforcementCommission. I will be invit-ing them to come and talkwith our Registrar of Vot-ers.”

The matter was first dis-cussed publicly at the March4 Board of Selectmen meet-ing.

During the meeting, Fredasaid he received a letter ofcomplaint last month fromPenfold, 28, daughter of Re-publican Registrar of VotersPamela J. Parrella and for-mer Board of Educationchairman John Lambert, re-garding the town’s Registrarof Voters’ Office. The letterrelated Penfold’s concerns —personal information on herNorth Haven voter’s regis-tration card, in this case thelast four digits of her SocialSecurity number, had beenviewed without her consentby unknown individuals af-ter the information was re-leased by Democratic Regis-trar of Voters Patty Jackson-Marshall.

“We might have an issueand it’s my obligation to letthe town know what’s goingon,” Freda said.

Freda shared copies of the

letter with the state’s attor-ney’s office, he said, as hewas already working with theoffice in its investigation ofNorth Haven’s building de-partment. Freda added thatthe state’s attorney’s officethought the letter was a seri-ous matter, but suggestedthat the SEEC was bettersuited to investigate the situ-ation.

Penfold discovered that acopy of her North Haven vot-er’s registration card hadbeen sent to the SEEC, Lam-bert said, when the commis-sion sent her a copy of a com-plaint filed against her and acopy of her card. The lastfour digits of Penfold’s SocialSecurity card were visible onthe SEEC’s copy of her vot-er’s registration card, Lam-bert added.

The complaint alleged thatPenfold voted illegally nu-merous times in North Havensince 2005, as she currentlyresides in Brooklyn, N.Y. Thecomplaint includes Penfold’sNorth Haven voter electionhistory, which shows her sub-mitting absentee ballots forthe 2005, 2007 and 2008 gener-

al elections and the 2007 and2009 referendums, and votingin person at the 2006 generalelection.

During the March 4 meet-ing, Freda read a letter fromPenfold that said after discov-ering her information hadbeen given to the SEEC, sheasked Jackson-Marshall towhom her voter’s registra-tion card given and if it wasnot Jackson-Marshall whohad given out the card, whodid. Penfold said that herquestions had not yet beenanswered.

Former town treasurerWilliam Gambardella, seek-ing to clarify the situationduring public comment, saidJackson-Marshall ap-proached him in early Octo-ber 2009 for advice on “threevoters she suspected did notlive in town.”

“She indicated that sheand Pam generally discussedproblems they found on thelist (of those registered tovote in North Haven),” Gam-bardella wrote in his letter.“The trouble in this case wasthe proximity to the electionand the fact that one of thevoters was Pam’s daughter.”

“For (Penfold) to claim thatshe lives in North Haven,when she lives in New Yorkand comes to North Haven onthe weekends, is a whole cha-rade to get around the factthat she did in fact violate thelaw,” Gambardella said at themeeting. “She’s committedfive separate felonies.”

The Connecticut Secretaryof the State’s Office lists vio-lating absentee ballot laws as

a class D felony, punishableby “imprisonment for a termof not less than one year normore than five years, or a finenot exceeding $5,000 or both.”

The letter of complaint tothe SEEC is signed by resi-dent Gary Amato, with Gam-bardella signing as a notary.In his letter, Gambardellasaid that he “asked Gary Am-ato to sign as complainant asit would be best if someoneelse actually filed the com-plaint,” because of a past dis-agreement between Gam-bardella and Lambert overthe Committee to Elect Fre-da’s use of the North HavenHigh School auditorium inOctober.

“Having someone else signthe complaint was wrong ofme, and I take full responsi-bility for it,” Gambardellawrote in the letter.

Gambardella said that Pen-fold’s information wentthrough him.

“After the election, the in-formation on who voted andwhen was requested by me asa follow up to my initial re-view,” Gambardella wrote inhis letter. “I requested thesedocuments in my capacity astown treasurer having under-taken this investigation inthat capacity. No one but my-self had access to the docu-ments, and no one else knewthey were retained by me. Noone else was even involvedexcept for allowing me to fol-low through and make rec-ommendations.”

Gambardella said he spokeat the meeting to defend Jack-son-Marshall. “I did not wishto make this a public issue,”Gambardella said. “But [pub-lic speakers] were attackingthe Democratic Registrar ofVoters for doing her job.”

Selectman’s monthly overview focuses on economic developmentBy Kyle Swartz


The March 4 Board of Se-lectmen included First Se-lectman Michael Freda’smonthly town overview, aNorth Haven Housing Au-thority PILOT update, and alook into Elm Street Ceme-tery’s dwindling space.

Monthly OverviewFreda said that he had set

up a meeting between Mick-ey Rabina, owner of the long-deserted Pratt and Whitneysite, and an East Haddam de-veloper, with the possibilityof jointly developing the

property into a mixed-useresidential and commercialarea, as Rabina had original-ly planned.

“Mr. Rabina is very inter-ested and the developer isvery aggressive,” Freda said.“The key will be whether wecan get the finances intactwith the developer.”

“This is the ninth opportu-nity we have put before Mr.Rabina,” he added. “This op-portunity looks like it has alittle bit more substance toit.”

Freda said that he will bemeeting Ulbrich StainlessSteel and Special Metals.

“There are 55 developableacres behind Ulbrich Steel,”he said. “What North Havenhas that other communitiesdon’t have is developablespace.”

Freda said that he is hold-ing the town’s first economicdevelopment breakfast inMay.

In regard to the post of-fice’s potential move, Fredasaid that approximately 250people contacted his officewith site suggestions. “Thepost office has put a notice inthe newspapers formerly no-tifying their intention tomove,” he added. “By 2011 weshould have that movement.It’s the post office’s decisionwhere they would like to go.”

Freda said that the townwas in the final stages of ne-gotiating the North Havenclerical union’s contract. “Iwill have more informationon that next meeting,” headded.

North Haven HousingAuthority

Freda said that the NorthHaven Housing Authority,

two buildings containingseven units for low-incomeelderly rent at 191 Pool Road,would be allowed to pay its$60,000 in delinquent PILOT(Payments In Lieu Of Taxes)payments at $500 a month forthe next 10 years.

Freda said that the author-ity was not subsidized by anygovernment, and that thelow-income senior citizens’rent was 30 percent of theiradjusted income, after anymedical payments.

“This really is our mostvulnerable population,” saidsecond selectman Tim Dohe-ny.

The North Haven HousingAuthority is a tax-exempt au-thority, run by a five memberboard, as appointed by theFirst Selectman.

The selectmen added thatthey had lowered NorthHaven Housing Authority’sPILOT payment to five per-cent of net revenue, from theprevious payment of 10 per-cent of net revenue. PILOTattempts to reimburse townsfor what they spend on serv-

ices that are used by the tax-exempt properties/resi-dents.

Elm Street CemeteryAfter resident Raymond

Sonazzaro expressed con-cern at last month’s meetingthat the Elm Street Ceme-tery was filling up, and thatno more burial space wasavailable because the ceme-tery was next to the NorthHaven Health and RacquetClub land, the selectmenlooked into the issue.

Freda said that the NorthHaven Health and RacquetClub land was owned by thetown but leased to the club,with renewal every fiveyears at the club’s discretion,meaning that the club hadfull control over the land.

Freda substantiated Son-azzaro’s concern that theElm Street Cemetery wasshort on space. “I did re-search and there are only 100more plots available at ElmStreet Cemetery,” Fredasaid. “Next to the recyclingcenter, there could possiblybe space for extension.”

The selectmen appointedRepublican Ryan Clecknerand unaffiliated voter PhilipDiPeri to three-year terms asboard alternates, effectiveJan. 1, 2010 and expiring Dec.31, 2012.

Doheny said that Clecknerwas attending QuinnipiacUniversity law school, was aU.S. Airborne Army ranger,and had only recently movedinto North Haven. “Clecknermade a strong argument that

someone relatively new totown could be of help to thetown’s Board of Ethics com-mittee,” Doheny said.

Fontana said that DiPerihad been a member of thetown’s ethics review commit-tee and had experience work-ing with nonprofits boardsand corporations.

All voting was unanimous.“I hope that whoever did

not get appointed tonight re-mains interested in servingthe board, or any other boardor commission in town,”Fontana said.

Doheny suggested thatthose who did not get ap-pointed could seek open posi-tions on the community serv-ices commission.

North Haven Rotary Club Sponsors Successful Telethon: ‘Voices for Haiti’By David M

Special to the NorthHaven Citizen

On Saturday, March 6,members and friends of theNorth Haven Rotary Club an-swered the telephones live onNHTV courtesy of WalterMann, the manager of the ca-ble television public accessstudio. Two local Rotarians,Mary and Mark Minotti ofMinotti Music on Washing-ton Avenue, organized andhosted the fundraiser withthe help of some of their stu-dents, as well as severalmembers and friends of thecommunity service club, and

an organization called Jazz’d4 Life from Wallingford.

Performing before a liveaudience, over 30 differentmusical presentations enter-tained the viewers. In be-tween numbers, a variety ofguests were interviewed by atalented high school seniorMatt Scarano, host of a regu-lar cable show taped atNHHS. The unique telethonwas able to raise over a $1,000in the first of the four localbroadcasts, which were de-signed to provide relief forthe many thousands of poorwho were victimized by therecent devastating earth-quake in Haiti.

Since it will take years forthe country to recover, thetelethon is still very timelyand all proceeds will be sentto Rotary International,which does not spend moneyon overhead, but designatesall funds directly to victimaid. According to the area’sDistrict Governor, Colin Ger-shon of New Haven, who wasinterviewed during the pro-gram, the Rotary Club ofPort-au-Prince has been onthe front lines with the Hait-ian Health Foundation pro-viding direct care and utiliz-ing some $30,000 quickly sentfrom the southern part of thestate which comprises Ro-tary District 7980. The local

club has already contributedhundreds of dollars collectedat their Tuesday morninggatherings at the BreakfastNook.

Opening the programsinging “Show Me the Way,”the spousal duet of Mark andMary Minotti set the tonewith a song about why thingsseem to happen in this world.After the first number, Marksaid, “Tragedies happenevery day, but we havefriends to back us up. Imag-ine having nothing at all.”

Moments later, First Se-lectman Michael Fredaadded, “This Saturday after-noon in North Haven wecome together looking to

help this cause. This is whatit’s all about…coming togeth-er as a community to helpothers.”

In the only pre-recordedportion of the show, thearea’s Rotary InternationalService chairwoman, LyndaHammond of Hamden, was aguest of the North Havenclub’s president, Nick Casel-la, and its president-elect,Rick DiNorscia. Hammondwas about to travel to the Do-minican Republic regardingthe district’s Gift of Life pro-gram involving doctors whovolunteer their time to savechildren’s lives in the DR andin Haiti through heart sur-gery, which is funded by dis-trict Rotary clubs. MarkMinotti pointed out that thiswas a perfect example of theinternational service club’smotto, “Service Above Self.”

Hammond explained thatRotary International is the“mother ship,” and districtsin over 200 countries com-prising 1.1 million membersvolunteer to help the develop-ing countries around theglobe. She stated that within24 hours of the earthquake, adoctor who is a Rotarian inPort-au-Prince was appoint-ed to co-ordinate the organi-zation’s response. Rotary’sGift of Life has been operat-ing out of Santiago, DR since2003 with the goal of sustain-ability in the region.

The long-time Rotarianand humanitarian told heraudience that $26,000 was im-mediately sent by District7980 to District 4060 in Haitito be invested in medical sup-plies and bulk food. Sheadded that Rotariansthroughout the Caribbeanwho own small aircraft havebeen flying in various typesof aid to several minorairstrips in Haiti since thetragedy happened. Securedwarehouses in both the DRand Haiti have been used forstorage prior to distributionof the crucial supplies. Theguest speaker assured her

“I really like the layoutand design of the building.The additional rooms allowfor more interaction and con-centrated activities,” re-

Letters to the EditorHearing what wewant to hear, say-ing too muchTo the editor:

The public comments sec-tion at the end of the March 4Board of Selectmen meetingaddressing an issue involv-ing the Registrar of Votersoffice, struck me as a classicexample of Professor ChrisArgyris’ Ladder of Inferenceconcept. Essentially thisconcept describes a situationin which we allow our per-sonal beliefs to influence ourbiased selection of data andexperiences, to which wechoose to pay attention tosuch an extent that we will“short circuit reality.” Thishappens because we are sus-ceptible, and anxiouslyready, to give credibility todata that supports our pre-established beliefs, which inturn further eliminates fromour consideration any con-

flicting data that may be real.The public observing this

part of the meeting was en-tertained by a series of com-ments made by opposing par-ties that reflected our com-mon vulnerability to “run-ning up our ladder of infer-ence.” It seems to me thatboth parties needed to allowthemselves the time to objec-tively discover the “real dataand experiences” in order toassess what actually hap-pened in an obviously dis-puted past. It is unfortunatethat both parties found itnecessary to speak for peoplewho were directly involvedin the experience, instead ofwaiting for those directly in-volved to speak for them-selves.

Supporters of the recentlydeposed Democrat adminis-tration once again employedtheir “mouthpiece” roleprevalent both during theshort-lived administration,and now following the frus-

trated attempt to be re-elect-ed. Democrat defenders of aRegistrar’s action, that is atbest a failure to protect sen-sitive personal informationfound on a voter record, andat worst violation of statepolicy and regulations, ispremature and should be re-strained until proper author-ities have concluded their in-vestigation. Heated defenseby the Democrats of a disput-ed situation unfortunatelyled to an emotional and inap-propriate series of com-ments that I hope the presen-ters now wish they couldcall-back.

It is time for us all to allowsome time to let the heat ofthe moment to cool, applysome discretion to our com-ments, and let the investiga-tive process uncover thetruth to avoid further ten-sion and distrust between

Commentary

The Nurturing FamiliesNetwork (NFN) in NewHaven and Hartford is indanger of being decimatedunder the Governor’s newDeficit Mitigation Plan.NFN is a program for the pre-vention of child abuse andneglect that reaches the mostvulnerable families and pro-vides them with support, ed-ucation and community con-nections. The governor’splan calls for closing 14 out of19 Nurturing Families sitesin New Haven and Hartford— a dramatic program re-duction that would eliminatethe Nurturing Families Net-work almost entirely in bothcities. Services to the townsof North Haven, Branford,North Branford, Guilfordand Madison will also be cut.As a North Haven resident, Iam concerned about elimi-nating this important pro-gram from our town.

The University of Hart-ford’s Center for Social Re-search has been followingthe Nurturing Families Net-work for 15 years. They re-port that the rate of substan-tiated child abuse and neg-lect in high-risk families par-ticipating in Nurturing Fam-ilies is significantly lowerthan state and national rates.Annual maltreatment ratefor NFN families is, on aver-age, only 3% compared to20% for similar families notparticipating in this type ofprogram. They also found

that the immunization ratefor two-year olds in Nurtur-ing Families is 93% com-pared to only 66% for twoyear olds with similar demo-graphic background, andthat a significant percentageof parents in the programcomplete high school, be-come employed and moveout of financial hardship.

So much time, effort andmoney went into buildingthis valuable program. Nur-turing Families Network isthere to give families tools tocope and alleviate some ofthe stress, which is so closelyassociated with child abuseand neglect. It will be devas-tating to them, as well as tothe state, if we pull out thissupport— sometimes theonly one they have — fromunder their feet.

Eliminating the proposedNurturing Families siteswill not save the state mon-ey; it will only result in shift-ing funds from a preventionprogram that works andcosts less, to interventionprograms that cost more.For example, services for afamily in the NFN programcost $3,500 per year, whilesupporting a family in theDepartment of Children andFamilies costs $30,000 annu-ally. We will no doubt pay forthese cuts later by having tofinancially support growingcaseloads at the Department

Michael MaturoNorth Haven

Explanation ofdomicile fromRegistrar ofVotersTo the editor:

Gary Amato has filed acomplaint against mydaughter for exercising herright to vote in her home-town of North Haven to theState Elections Commission.

I have served as a Regis-

trar of Voters in NorthHaven since December of2005. Here are the facts aboutvoter registration:

You must be 18 years ofage and a U.S. citizen. Youmay only be registered tovote in the one municipal-ity that you consider yourdomicile. You may only beregistered to vote in oneplace, even if you havemultiple residences with-in or out of the state.

In Connecticut a personmay register to vote andmay vote in any place thatthey consider their homeas long as they have apresence in that place,continuing contacts withit, coupled with an inten-tion to return to it.

My daughter meets the re-quirements of domicile list-ed by state law. North Havenis the only place that she is

registered to vote and hasever voted. She has nevermade any secret of the factthat she votes from herhome, a residence that hasbeen in my family for over 62years.

I was unaware that therewas any challenge of mydaughter’s voting rights byanyone until she receivedMr. Amato’s complaint atour home on Dec. 30, 2009.The protocol for all com-plaints in the Registrars ofVoter’s office is that all infor-mation on challenges, re-gardless of whom they areabout, is shared between theregistrars.

Attached to Mr. Amato’scomplaint was a copy of mydaughter’s voter registra-tion card showing the lastfour digits of her Social Se-curity number. Identifica-tion numbers are never re-

leased to the general pub-lic by Registrars of Voters— this point is one that thestate’s attorneys havestressed at all of the educa-tional conferences spon-sored by the Secretary of theState that registrars attendeach year.

My daughter sent two let-ters to my associate, Regis-trar Patty Jackson-Marshall,asking to whom her identitynumbers were given andwhy they were released? Ms.Jackson-Marshall did not re-ply to her. Registrars areelected officials. The Secre-tary of the State tells us thatwe have a duty towards theconcerns that our votersmight have. My daughter’sconcerns about this impor-tant issue were not an-swered.

There is no doubt in mymind that the complaint

against my daughter was po-litically motivated. Mr. Ama-to has never met my daugh-ter and did not bother to askme anything about this mat-ter. Mr. Gambardella, whowitnessed the signature onthe complaint, but now ad-mits that the complaint ishis own, says it is not person-al, but it is filled with irrele-vant and defamatory com-ments about my husband,my son-in-law, and me. At theBoard of Selectmen’s meet-ing Mr. Gambardella madevulgar, defamatory remarksabout my daughter, my fami-ly, and myself. I am thor-oughly disgusted with thesepeople.

of Children and Families,the Department of Correc-tions, the Department ofMental Health and otherstate agencies.

We will also pay a moralprice by knowing that wecould have prevented it, butdidn’t…

In addition, the proposedcuts will leave one hundredConnecticut residents out ofa job, adding to the alreadydifficult economic climate.

Connex donates to Food BankAs part of it’s commitmentto the local community,Connex recently donated$350 and 128 pounds offood to Connecticut FoodBank. For an entire month,Connex branches servedas collection points fornon-perishable food do-nations. In an effort tohelp raise awareness andincrease the donations,Connex deposited $25into each new member’s“Unbank Checking” account and matched that with a $25 donation to Con-necticut Food Bank. As a result, the money and food donated will help provide1,300 meals for those in need.

claimants over $50,000,” hesaid. “The methodology has-n’t changed. At that time, thetown’s claim experience wasbetter than it is today.”

Fontana asked whetherAnthem used the same re-newal calculations with allmunicipalities. Bowker an-swered that the company did.Second selectman Tim Dohe-ny asked if all municipalitieshad similar percentage in-creases. Bowker answeredthat they did.

“Hamden stayed with An-

them while North Haven waswith ConnectiCare and stillhad an equal rise,” Fontanasaid. “So North Haven’s pro-jected rise is not because ofits year with ConnectiCare?”

“Correct,” Bowkerreplied.

During public commentwith Anthem, resident BobDemauro asked what the spe-cific drivers were behind theprojected North Haven in-crease.

“The drivers vary pertown, but lifestyle is the driv-ing force,” Bowker said.

Bowker added that NorthHaven is “a little high” inasthma and coronary heart

disease. In terms of a basemathematical breakdown,Bowker said that Anthem’scharges are 80-90 percentclaims costs and 10-15 per-cent administration costs.

Demauro believed a driverto be Anthem’s control of thesituation. “You and MajorLeague Baseball are basical-ly the same,” he said toBowker. “You have no com-petition. If you don’t play forMajor League Baseball, youdon’t play baseball in theUSA. If you don’t buy insur-ance from the big five insur-ance companies, you don’tget insurance. Money is thedriver.”

Anthem vice presidentJames Augur refuted theclaim. “There is competitionin Connecticut,” he said toDemauro. “There are fivegreat insurance companiesin Connecticut. Here in Con-necticut, I do believe there’sgood competition on a dailybasis.”

Resident Sherman Katzrecalled that when a compa-ny he worked for was aboutto go to a different carrier,Anthem lowered its prices toretain the contract. “Oncewe sharpen our pencils, An-them will come down fromwhere they are now,” Katzsaid.

Resident and Board of Fi-nance member Michael Hal-lahan asked whether An-them’s administration costshave risen. Auger said theyhad not. “What is driving thepremium increase in NorthHaven are the claims,”Auger added.

Freda said that the town isnot resigned to Anthem. “Weare examining all the op-tions,” he said, “includinggoing out to bid, and includ-ing going back to the draw-ing board with self-insur-ance.”

judge Robert Berdon deniedformer town attorneyRichard Parrett’s attempt toquash the application formandamus, pushing the casetoward a potential trial.

The trial date was delayedafter Freda replaced McCar-ty and Ryan replaced Parrettin late 2009. The new Board ofSelectman discussed thecase’s future with Ryan onFeb. 25 during a special meet-ing, during which Freda saidthey would consider the Con-necticut Supreme Court CaseMorris v. Congdon (2006) andJudge Berdon’s Sept. 30 rul-ing.

In Morris v. Congdon, theConnecticut Supreme Courtgranted the town of Prestonthe right to hold a town meet-ing to vote on the removal ofthe town planner position af-ter Preston citizens collected20 signatures on a petition forthe meeting. Preston votedagainst removing the posi-tion during the special meet-ing.

Before the selectmen votedon the motion on March 4,Freda read aloud a letterwritten to the board by resi-dent Gary Amato. “Thereshould be no hiring in the de-

partment of public workswhile the state attorney’s of-fice is investigating the build-ing department,” Amatowrote.

Amato believed all threeselectman were disqualifiedfrom voting on the motion.“Steve Fontana and MichaelFreda are both named on themotion for write of man-damus,” Amato wrote. “Theyshould abstain from votingon the issue.”

“Tim Doheny is being in-vestigated by the state attor-ney’s office and should notvote,” Amato added, alludingto the building departmentinvestigation, as well as pastallegations that the depart-ment undercharged Dohenyfor permits fees.

Doheny denied the charge.“I can assure you, for every-body in the room, to the bestof my knowledge I am not be-ing investigated by the stateattorney’s office,” he said.

During public comment,resident Gerry Feinbergechoed Fonatna’s vexationthat recognizing Burns’ peti-tion and allowing the specialmeeting would set a danger-ous precedent. Feinbergasked whether the selectmenwould consider moving thequestion of reinstatementfrom a town meeting to a ref-erendum. Freda said such amove was unnecessary, as atown meeting allowed all res-idents the chance to vote.

“If the Board of Selectmenchooses not to do it, then wecan go get 20 signatures and areferendum will have to becalled,” Feinberg responded.“That’s part of the problemwith the whole matter. Call-

ing a town meeting for thispurpose is allowing any 20people in town to usurp [theselectmen’s] authority.”

Feinberg asked whetherthe engineer-two position upfor vote would “have BobBurns’ name on it.” Freda re-sponded that it would not.

Feinberg asked whetherthe Board of Finance hadsole authority to restore atown position. “Town meet-ing is the legislative body intown,” attorney Ryan re-sponded.

Feinberg was still wary ofthe motion. “Perhaps youhave resolved the immediateissue, but you might have cre-ated a problem for yourselvesor other selectmen,” he said.

Freda responded that hebelieved the selectmen weresimply following the law.“Morris versus Congdon setthe precedent for this,” hesaid. “And the previous townattorney’s motion to quashwas defeated.”

Walsh also believed Burns’petition was in line with thelaw. “When the former towncouncil moved to quash,which was really a motion todismiss the writ of man-damus, Judge Berdon’s deci-sion against it was well onthe point,” he said on Mon-day. “As the 2006 SupremeCourt case said, the purpose

for which the petition wasfiled was legitimate and forproper purpose.”

“I’m pleased that they vot-

ed to hold the meeting,”Walsh added. “I wish theycould have done it a yearago.”

As North Haven boys’ bas-ketball discovered this week,upsets can go both ways.

A week after upending thefavored and top-seeded Hill-house squad in the SouthernConnecticut Conferencechampionship, the Indianswere upset 58-53 on March 8by the Wilby Wildcats in thefirst round of the Division Lstate tournament, at homebefore a packed gymnasium.

“It was an ugly game thatcame down to desire,” saidNorth Haven coach PeteCivitello after the loss, “andthey had a little bit morethan us.”

The seventh-seeded Indi-ans led 22-18 at the end of thefirst quarter, 29-28 at half,and 49-41 going onto thefourth quarter. The hometeam led by as much as 12points during the third quar-ter. However, a slew of NorthHaven turnovers, missedshots, and bungled free-throws in the final eight min-utes, coupled with precisethree-point and free-throwshooting from 26th-rankedWilby, doomed the Indians.

“We got very complacentand allowed them to climbback in,” Civitello said. “Andthen we panicked.”

The Wildcats also domi-nated the Indians on theglass, consistently collecting

offensive rebounds to createadditional opportunities.Wilby’s Darryl Johnsondrained a three-pointer toopen the fourth quarter afterhe and his teammates en-snared half-a-dozen offensiverebounds on the possession.

An ugly stretch of thefourth quarter followedJohnson’s bucket in whichthere was no scoring for overfour minutes, and duringwhich the normally-accurate

North Haven senior BrianSalzillo missed three openshots. Finally, Johnson sankanother three-pointer withfour minutes remaining,lowering the Indians’ advan-tage to 49-47.

North Haven sophomoreDominic Schioppo wasfouled on the other end, butonly connected on one freethrow. Wilby added a two-pointer after wracking upseveral more offensive re-bounds, and the score stoodwith North Haven ahead50-49.

Then, Wildcat TerronRobinson stole the ball asSalziollo dribbled across mid-court, connecting on the openlay-up for Wilby’s first lead ofthe second half, 51-50.

North Haven senior Joe Se-taro worked inside for thefoul, pushing North Haveninto the bonus, but missedthe first free throw of theone-and-one. Wilby playerstook the ball down court,where Setaro fouled Johnsonfar from the basket. Wilbywas also in the bonus, andJohnson hit both free throwsfor a 53-50 lead.

Indian sophomore BillyMcDonald crashed down thecourt for a lay-up, bringingthe score to 53-52 with 1:30 re-maining. However, as there isnot a shot clock in highschool basketball, Wilby be-gan to pass the ball around ontheir resulting possession todeplete the game clock.

With 1:04 left in the game,North Haven senior DaveSims trapped a Wilby playerin a corner and forced a jumpball. Unfortunately, Wilbyhad the possession arrow andretained the ball. With 50.2seconds remaining, Setarofouled Wilby’s Landen Man-ning.

Manning missed the firstfree throw of the one-and-one, and McDonald collectedthe rebound. North Havencalled a timeout with 39.5 sec-onds remaining. The in-bound went to Salzillo, wholost track of the ball and al-lowed Wilby to come awaywith the steal.

The Indians fouled Robin-son, who hit the first freethrow for a 54-52 lead with33.9 seconds left. Robinsonmissed the second free throw,and McDonald fought off afierce effort from a Wilbyplayer for the rebound. Mc-

listeners that every dollar do-nated “is used very judicious-ly by Rotary family aroundthe world.”

The next person to be inter-viewed by Scarano on the livebroadcast was Theresa Ran-ciato-Viele, a former localclub president. In response toa request for a list of club ac-complishments she briefly re-viewed some of the serviceclub’s work. She pointed outthat the local club meets onTuesday morning at 7:15 atthe Breakfast Nook Restau-rant followed by an informa-tive program, and explainedthat the organization re-quires that individuals inleadership roles, often in thebusiness world, focus oncharitable service and fellow-ship by promoting the better-ment of their community.

Viele said that Rotariansendorse youth leadershipgroups including the highschool’s Interact Club; recog-nize student accomplishmentthrough their Student of theMonth and Unsung Hero pro-grams; provide scholarshipsto high school and college stu-

dents; work on literacy proj-ects; and support other edu-cational programs, such asthe purchase and mainte-nance of a large selection ofbooks in the “ career cor-ner” of the town’s library.

Pointing to severalfundraisers, including theannual Day of Wine and Ros-es, the food booth at the Con-certs on the Green each sum-mer, and the annual pancakebreakfast in the fall, sheadded that various socialevents have helped to fur-nish the necessary financesthat are shared with count-less charities. Some exam-ples of the local causes in-clude support for scoutingprograms, DARE, MADD, Re-lay for Life, the St. Baldrick’sFoundation, the Eli WhitneyMuseum, the Food Pantry,several Kids for Kids chari-ties, and the Big Brother/BigSister program.

Indicating that recent in-ternational projects includ-ed the provision of life-sav-ing water filters for a smalltown in India and support fora mobile school there, shesaid that donations to assista volunteer medical teamfrom Yale with their life-al-tering surgical work in Hon-

duras has been supported fora few years. Viele also wel-comed the public to purchasetickets to the Carnevale, aMardi gras type of dinnerdance on March 26 at Antho-ny’s Ocean View that willprovide major funding forcharity, especially towardfighting cancer in children.For information about theclub go to www.nhrotary.org.

When volunteer and Ro-tarian Michael Hallahan, amember of the Board of Fi-nance in the town was inter-viewed, he mentioned sever-al of the club’s accomplish-ments, but thanked NHTV’sWalter Mann for his numer-ous contributions to the com-munity including thetelethon itself. He went on toname several of the other be-hind-the-scenes contribu-tors, including “floor manag-er” Debbie Volain, the volun-teers who manned thephones, and the Minottis,who he said were “the majorcog” that made it all work. Itwas also noted that MarkMinotti had recently beenappointed by the Board of Se-lectmen to serve on thetown’s cable televisionboard.

One highlight of the after-

noon was an interview withWallingford residentsCatherine and Arne Yagsiz-ian who have headed a chari-table organization called Jaz-z’d 4 Life for a few years, ac-cording to the musicians.Catherine, who is the daugh-ter of the famous jazz pianistand composer Dave Brubeck,was recently honored by thePresident at the KennedyCenter, said that their grouphas been giving concerts “tohelp children around theworld,” pointing out that herfather has done two concertsto support their charitablework. Her husband who saidhe has been traveling to Haitiannually for 10 years saidthat they have helped con-struct schools, orphanages,churches, a mobile medicalclinic, and have put in wellsand water filtration systems.

Catherine also described atent city in a soccer stadiumin Les Cayes where they haveperformed that is located 100miles west of Port-au-Princeand which houses uncountedrefugees, but has plumbingcourtesy of Rotary Interna-tional. She said that their fes-tivals raise money andawareness, but also providean enjoyable time for adults

and children alike. The cou-ple also described barrelsthat have been placed aroundtheir community to collectclothing and other donationsfor the people of Haiti, andmentioned that a 40’ contain-er had just been shipped tothe desperate country. Forfurther details on the inter-national charity go towww.jazzed4life.org.

At the conclusion of thefour hours of entertainment,a young lady named SummerEdeen played the electric pi-ano and sang the movingoriginal song that she au-thored entitled “The Fight ofYour Life,” which was calleda most appropriate choice forthe occasion. The tape of theprogram called “Voices forHaiti” was telecast on NHTVagain on Sunday, March 7,and will be shown this week-end.

ControversyContinued from page 4

“The issue is does [Pen-fold] live in North Haven ornot?” Gambardella said onFriday. “Let’s let the SEEC de-cide that.”

The other two suspect vot-ers were registered to ware-houses, Gambardella added,as business owners in towncan vote in referendums.

Lambert said that hisdaughter still belongs to aNorth Haven church and“frequently” visits her par-ents’ residence at 25 Trum-bull Place, the location listedon her North Haven voter’sregistration card. Lambertadded that his daughter votedin North Haven when shewas previously residing inNew York to attend New YorkUniversity.

“She still considers NorthHaven her domicile,” Lam-bert said. “You can have tworesidences, and vote from theone that is most important toyou. The state is only inter-ested in that you didn’t votetwice. If you have more than

one residence, you canchoose where to vote.”

Gambardella said that Pen-fold did not vote in New York.

Additionally, Lambert saidthat the SEEC’s notice ofcomplaint was sent to theTrumbull Place residence.

Lambert said of Jackson-Marshall, “If she was just do-ing her job, then why didn’tshe challenge the voter be-fore the election if shethought she couldn’t vote?”

Lambert believed Gam-bardella was motivated bythe NHHS auditorium dis-agreement. “This is notabout voting,” Lambert said.

During the meeting, Parel-la said that it is possible to de-duce the first five digits of asocial security number usinga person’s birth date and resi-dence. Parrella, the Republi-can Registrar of Voters,added that if she had beenasked for her daughter’s vot-ing information, she wouldhave provided the documentsbut covered up the social se-curity numbers.

“We don’t give out thosenumbers,” Parella said.

With 28 seconds left, Mc-Donald made the first freethrow but misconnected onthe second. Wilby’s LandenManning corralled the re-bound and was immediatelyfouled. Manning sank bothfree throws despite the deaf-ening roar of the hometeam’s fans, who had stuffedthe NHHS gymnasium be-yond its normal capacity.

North Haven called time-out with 19.1 seconds remain-ing and behind by threepoints. The inbound playwent to Salzillo, who misseda three-pointer from the leftcorner. Setaro snagged the of-fensive rebound but missed a

low-post shot and was notfouled. Wilby’s LamarLarsen eventually found theball and was fouled with 6.5seconds remaining.

Larsen made both freethrows for a 58-53 lead, effec-tively ending the contest.Salzillo missed one lastthree-pointer before time ranout.

“We turned the ball overway too many times,”Civitello said. “And we gotkilled on the boards.”

“We knew that the teamwas not the greatest halfcourt team, so we tried tolimit their possessions, as wehad done to teams through-out the SCC tournament,”Civitello added, “but we didnot have the same desiretonight.”

Salzillo led all scorerswith 26 points, including five

three-pointers. McDonaldcollected 15 points, while Se-taro and Schioppo netted sixeach. Larsen led the Wildcatswith 19 points, while John-son totaled 13 points, Robin-son 11, and Manning seven.

Most telling, North Havenwas outscored 17-4 in thegame’s final quarter.

“We stopped playing de-fense in the fourth quarter,”Civitello said. “It’s been abad habit of ours throughoutthe season. And once we stopscoring, it really hurts us.”

DON’T LET CONNECTICUT OFFICIALS REMOVEYOUR RIGHT TO KNOW FROM THE NEWSPAPER.

Visit www.ctdailynews.com to contact your legislator today1149595

Make your voice heard, tell your elected officials...

Pending legislation may remove yourright to read public notices in newspapers,moving them from the public domain tothe internet. We’re concerned. And youshould be, too.

Public notices are an important tool inassuring an informed citizenry. They havehelped develop America into aparticipatory democracy for hundreds ofyears and where it counts the most: howyour tax dollars are spent, how policy ismade and how our futures are charted.

They are located in easy-to-findsections of your newspaper. And they arefully accessible to everyone - unlike theinternet, which is not accessible toeveryone.

Less than 10% of the U.S. populationviews a local, state or federal governmentwebsite daily, according to the May 2009release of U.S. Census Bureau, AnnualEstimates of Resident Population.

This means more than nine out of tenpeople may never see a given notice.

This compares dramatically to the factthat 83% of adults read a communitynewspaper every week, according to the

National Newspaper Association.Furthermore, a public notice printed in

the newspaper produces a permanentrecord. The internet does not, nor does itassure timeliness. And a newspaper isarchived for years; not subject tocomputer crashes and hackers.

Newspapers are easily verifiable, fullytransparent and represent a secure thirdparty who has nothing to gain from anynotice. Connecticut’s recent ethical lapsesshed a glaring light on the full meaning ofthis problem. It’s like putting the fox incharge of the hen house.

Every public notice, which runs in a

Connecticut daily newspaper, i sautomatically uploaded to that newspaper’sweb site and CTPublicNotices.org.

Newspapers are your watchdogs. Don’tlet that role be changed now. Voice youropinion.

To keep your notices in thenewspaper, contact your local electedofficials or:
