CCititizizeennCompromise

and leadershipBy Len Fasano

Governor Dannel Mal-loy stated in his inauguraladdress that he is going totake us down a road lesstraveled. I believe we nowknow why that road is lesstraveled. Under GovernorMalloy’s leadership, Con-necticut has been facedwith the highest tax in-crease in history. The $2.6 billion in tax in-creases over two years, including but notlimited to raising of the sales tax from 6percent to 6.35 percent, tax on non-pre-scription drugs, tax on clothing under $50and a significant reduction in your homeproperty tax credit, has lead Connecticutin the wrong direction.

Unemployment has reached 9 percent.

Rebuild themiddleclass

By Steve Fontana

Everywhere I go inWallingford, East Haven,North Haven, andDurham, people tell methat their middleclass wayof life is disappearing, andthat they want their elect-ed leaders to do somethingabout it. I’m running forthe State Senate because Iwill do just that – by starting to rebuild themiddleclass.

To rebuild the middleclass, we can’tkeep pursuing the same trickledown eco-nomic policies that have failed to pull usout of this recession. We have to go back towhat we know works: investing in peopleand businesses, and giving them the abili-ty and opportunity to succeed.

Do you believein ghosts?

Do you believe in the para-normal?

Do you believe in ghosts,spiritual energies, voicesaudible from other dimen-sions and historicaltragedies haunting sitescenturies later?

With Halloween spirit inthe air, the North Haven Li-brary invited attendees toconsider such questions atan Oct. 16 presentation bythe Northeast ParanormalInvestigations Society.

“We’re skeptics our-selves,” said Adam Shefts, aNorth Haven native, and di-rector, founder and lead in-vestigator for NPIS. “We gointo places as skeptics. Wedon’t assume anything.”

About 80 people packedthe library’s communityroom for NPIS’ audiovisualpresentation, which includ-ed examples from dozens ofpotentially supernatural lo-cations in and near Con-necticut.

“Everything we show isopen to interpretation,” saidNPIS member Mark Firulli.

Shefts and his team use anarray of recording equip-ment, from basic to ad-vanced, to capture images,videos and audio examplesof what they believe couldbe proof of paranormal ac-tivity. They visit and cata-logue places rumored to bevisited by spirits — with anemphasis on history, plusthorough examination andrespect.

“We would never try toprovoke,” Shefts said. “Wedon’t encourage trying toprovoke, like people do onsome of those reality showson television.”

“None of the experiences

we’ve had have been scary,because we conduct investi-gations respectfully,” headded. “Our experiences areinteresting, but not scary.And places we went toweren’t necessarily haunt-ed. ‘Haunted’ is one of themost-overused words.Haunted implies that some-thing paranormal is makingeveryday life more difficultat a location. This is not gen-erally the case.”

A NPIS video shown earlyseemed to depict a clear,barely visible presence mov-ing across the corner of aroom in Madison’s DeaconJohn Grave House, built in1681. The see-through pres-ence had the approximatesize and shape of an adultperson.

“We spent four hours try-ing to recreate that shadow,whatever you want to callit,” Shefts said. “We stood inthe corner of the room andcouldn’t recreate it. We hadinvestigators standing out-side the windows, walkingpast the windows and walk-ing past streetlights outsidethe windows. It was impossi-ble to recreate.”

Typically, NPIS goes toplaces of past significancelike the Deacon John GraveHouse. “We focus on histori-cal locations to tie evidenceinto what we find there,”Shefts said. “It gives us moreto use as proof.”

Another of these siteswas Norwalk’s Sheffield Is-land Lighthouse, construct-ed in 1827 and now a touristattraction. Historical ac-counts, Shefts said, tell of alighthouse keeper residingthere in the 1800s with hiswife and daughter. The rela-tionship between husband

Annual haunted house back for more scaresBy Kyle Swartz

The North Haven Citizen

After a one-year hiatus, thehaunting is back.

Today and tomorrow, theFaith United MethodistChurch, 81 Clintonville Road,

will host its 26th annualHaunted House and Hal-loween Party. Hours of opera-tion are 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.mfor both Friday and Saturday.

“We had to take a breaklast year,” said Faith Unitedparishioner David Bogert,who helps produce the two-day event each year. “We hadhad 25 great years, and wejust needed a year off. Whichwas perfect, because lastyear at this time was thenor’easter, so it would havebeen a bust. But now our en-ergies are recharged andwe’re back.”

The seasonal attraction,winding through 15 spookyrooms within and outsidethe church, sees 500-1,000 at-tendees annually. All pro-ceeds go toward NorthHaven’s food pantry or FaithUnited’s outreach programs.For families with youngerchildren, too little perhapsfor a scare, the event in-cludes an onsite Halloweenparty on Saturday.

“In today’s age, we’re pro-viding a safe place for fami-lies to come for some fun,”Bogert said. “The youngerkids can stay at the party,while the parents and theolder kids can go through thehaunted house.”

The main attraction in-cludes numerous actors andhundreds of props, ghoulishitems amassed during thedecades.

“The theme this year, as inthe past, is that you are tres-passing in the master’s cas-tle,” Bogert said. “And themaster doesn’t take too kind-ly to that. So he locks you inwith him. And then you’rewandering around his castle,trying to find your way out.”

Many favorite rooms frompast editions of the hauntedhouse are back, such as thecrazy clown room, the mas-ter’s bedroom and the mad

scientist’s lab. Several newadditions should startle evenattendees familiar with the26-year event.

“One reason I think peoplekeep coming back to this isbecause this is about old-timey scares,” Bogert said.“A lot of haunted houses to-day have lots of high-techgadgetry. Not that we don’thave our sensors, laser lightsand spring-loaded surprises,but for the most part we’reabout old-fashioned scares,people hiding around cor-ners and popping out at you.”

“Also, we have a story un-folding in the haunted housefrom beginning to end,” headded. “There’s a theme toall the rooms and scenes.More haunted houses todayhave a hodgepodge of differ-ent scenes.”

34th District candidates get endorsementsBy Laurie Rich SalernoSpecial to The Citizen

Republican state Sen. LenFasano has received the en-dorsement of the state’s In-dependent Party, and will belisted as its candidate on theNovember ballot as well asthe Republican candidate.

The longtime incumbentis running against formerstate Rep. Steve Fontana, aDemocrat, to retain his seatin the 34th District, whichincludes North Haven.

Fasano said he felt the In-dependent Party chose himbecause he says he does notvote simply on the partyline.

“I vote for a good ideawhen it’s a good idea,”Fasano said Thursday.

This is the first time in re-cent memory there will bean Independent line on theballot in the 34th District.Fasano had to get a petitionsigned by 1 percent of regis-tered voters in the district inorder to get the ballot line ap-proved.

Robert Fand, the party’s

deputy director and secre-tary, said the party choseFasano because they be-lieved his goals were in linewith theirs.

“We run on issues - we feelthat the Republicans areclosest to our issues,” Fandsaid, saying the party is con-cerned with over-taxation,overregulation, unfair tradepolicies, and illegal immi-gration.

Fontana said he wasn’tsurprised Fasano receivedthe endorsement, saying theIndependent Party is well-known as a conservativegroup.

“It’s really nothing morethan a second line for Repub-licans,” Fontana said.

Linda McMahon, Republi-can candidate for U.S. Sen-ate, will also be on the Inde-pendent line.

The choice means thatFasano will be listed on theballot twice, and Fontanaonly once.

Neither candidate will bereceiving the endorsement ofthe Working Families Party,the state’s other prominent

non-mainstream party.Fasano had received theirsupport in the past, as hadFontana in his state Houseraces.

“The Working FamiliesParty decided not to file anendorsement in the 34th Sen-ate District because bothSteve Fontana and LenFasano are committed to thevalues the Working FamiliesParty stand for. We look for-ward to working with whoev-er wins the race,” said Lind-say Farrell, executive direc-tor of the Connecticut Work-ing Families Party, by emaillast week.

Fasano said he understoodthe group’s position.

“They’re taking a neutralposition — that’s fine withme,” Fasano said. “I under-stand that they don’t want topick between two people thathave recognized their is-sues.”

As for other endorse-ments, Fontana said he hasgotten endorsements fromthe state chapter of theAmerican Federation ofTeachers and the Sierra

Club.“I’ve always taken pride

in supporting the environ-ment,” Fontana said.

Fasano said he has re-ceived the endorsement ofthe Connecticut UniformedProfessional Fire FightersAssociation, and the Con-necticut Education Associa-tion, one of the state’s majorteachers unions.

“I fought hard for theteachers and the parents

and the kids when GovernorMalloy wanted to employ atop-down approach,”Fasano said, saying heworked to give teachers avoice in the educational re-structuring.

The North Haven Profes-sional Firefighters Associa-tion has also endorsed theRepublican incumbent.

As a majority of the haunt-ed house is within thechurch’s buildings or undertents outside, the event israin or shine.

Construction commencesthree weeks in advance. Spe-cial care is taken to avoidbuilding in the church’s sanc-tuary.

“We get asked all the timeabout being a church putting

on a haunted house,” Bogertsaid. “The Halloween we’recelebrating is that of kids,candy and costumes, plus alittle bit of a scare. What itcomes down to is providing afun, safe place for families.”

“Also, here you don’t haveto wait four hours to get intothe attraction,” he added.

The Halloween party onSaturday, Oct. 27, includescrafts, snacks and Halloweengames. Attending kids areencouraged to come in cos-

tumes. Admission to thehaunted house includes aticket to the party. Individualtickets to the party are alsoavailable. “The party has al-ways been a nice complimentto this,” Bogert said.

Bogert estimated walkingthrough the haunted houseto take 20 minutes.

Tickets are available on-site. For more information,call (203) 239-2469 or search“Haunted Hollows of NorthHaven” on Facebook.

Commentary

A history in HalloweenBy Paul Colella

Special to The Citizen

It’s almost All HallowsEve, thenight whenchildren andadults dressup to scareoff the evilspirits thatwould comeon Hal-loween.

Of course,today, the holiday is allabout the candy, costumes,and trick-or-treating.

The word Halloween wasfirst used in the 16th centu-ry and represents a Scottishvariant of the fuller All-Hal-lows-even (“evening”), thatis the night before All Hal-lows Eve. It is a yearly holi-day observed around theworld on October 31, the evebefore the Western Christ-ian feast of All Hallows, theevening before All SaintsDay celebrated on November1.

According to some schol-

ars, All Hallows Eve initial-ly incorporated traditionsfrom pagan harvest festivalsand festivals honoring thedead, particularly the CelticSamhain. Other scholarsmaintain that the feast origi-nated entirely independent-ly from Samhain. The pur-poses of Halloween wereoriginally to mark the end ofsummer and the harvest,and the beginning of winter,and to commemorate thepassing of the dead.

Typical contemporaryHalloween activities includetrick-or-treating also knownas “guising,” attending cos-tume parties, carving pump-kins into jack-o-lanterns,lighting bonfires, apple bob-bing, visiting “haunted” at-tractions, playing pranks,telling scary stories, andwatching horror films.

Haunted houses and otherspooky attractions are en-tertainment venues de-signed to thrill and scare pa-trons. Most attractions areseasonal Halloween busi-nesses. Origins of these the-

atrical, for-profit venues aredifficult to pinpoint. But it isgenerally accepted that theywere first commonly used bythe Junior Chamber Inter-national (Jaycees) forfundraising. They includehaunted houses, corn mazes,and hay rides, and the levelof sophistication of the ef-fects has risen as the indus-try has grown, especiallywith the telling of ghost sto-ries, the writing of horrorstories, and the viewing ofhorror films. Episodes oftelevision series and Hal-loween-themed specials arecommonly aired on or beforethe holiday, while new hor-ror films are often releasedin theaters before the holi-day to take advantage of theseasonal atmosphere.

Dressing up in costumesand going “guising” wereprevalent in Ireland andScotland at Halloween bythe late-19th century. Cos-tuming became popular forHalloween parties in theUnited States in the early20th century. The first mass-

produced Halloween cos-tumes appeared in stores inthe 1930s when trick-or-treating was becoming popu-lar in the United States.

Halloween costumes aretraditionally modeled aftersupernatural figures asmonsters, ghosts, skeletons,witches and devils. Overtime, the costume selectionextended to include popular

characters from fiction,celebrities, and generic ar-chetypes such as ninjas, su-perheroes, and princesses.

Since the holiday comesin the wake of the annualapple harvest, candy apples,caramel and taffy apples arecommon Halloween treats.In Great Britain, Ireland and

In mid-October, AmandaAltieri, a guest of NorthHaven Rotary President-Elect Debbie Volain and PastPresident Rick DiNorscia,expressed her sincere grati-tude to the members of theNorth Haven Rotary Club fortheir donation to Camp Ris-ing Sun. She described thecamp as “an American Can-cer Society program thatgives children aged 5-17 anopportunity to experience anovernight camping experi-ence and to remember whatit is like to have fun.”

She explained that everyAugust, over 100 children(with cancer or in remission)gather at Camp JewellYMCA in Colebrook, withmost of the kids and parents

in tears at the thought of theweek’s separation. After aweek in a joy-filled atmos-phere, and having developednew friendships, they almostdon’t want to go home. Say-ing that she personallylearned to “realize the im-portance of hope,” Amandastated that “it was the dyingwish of one young girl to beable to attend the camp,” oneof first children that she hascounseled over the past eightyears.

The staff of volunteers,most of whom are cancersurvivors, provides the expe-rience at no cost to the fami-ly, but the expense can runmore than $1500 per childand is covered by donations,fund raisers, and corporate

sponsors. Now in the camp’s30th year of operation, themedical staff has been head-ed by Medical Director Dr.Joseph McNamara, a pedi-atric oncologist from Yale-New Haven Hospital, for 20years. For more information,go to www.camprisingsun.com.

The North Haven Histori-cal Society has scheduled aprogram on the history ofthe North Haven Fire De-partment for Sunday, Oct. 28at 2 p.m. at the MasonicLodge, 30 Church St.

This year, the Fire Depart-ment is celebrating 100 yearsof service to the town, andthe Historical Society is hon-ored to participate in recog-nizing these dedicated publicservants. The program isfree and open to the public.Parking is available on site,and the building is handi-capped-accessible. Light re-freshments will be available.

The following is takenfrom a history of the fire de-

partment published on their75th anniversary:

In 1911, the North HavenCongregational Churchcaught fire and burned be-cause there was no local firedepartment to douse theflames. Shortly thereafter, agroup of concerned citizensgathered to organize theNorth Haven Volunteer FireCompany #1.

The volunteers built agarage on Peck Street (re-cently demolished) to serveas our town’s first firehouse.Their firefighting equip-ment included a hose reelwhich was pulled by man-power. The firefighters wereled by Foreman Arthur

Thorpe, a title that persisteduntil 1928 when the organi-zation adopted the title ofChief for its leadership. Ithas remained so ever since.

In 1932, locals recognizedthat more equipment wasneeded for fighting fires.The town also needed ameeting hall – thus, the fire-house at 26 Broadway wasbuilt. It was a large andhandsome building with aspacious meeting hall on anupper level. The Center Vol-unteer Fire Company oper-ated for many years fromthis station. The followingyear saw the completion ofthe Montowese firehouse onQuinnipiac Avenue. It oper-

100 years of fire service

ates to this day, althoughplans have been made to de-molish this building as well,in preparation for a newMontowese firehouse.

By the early 1950s, bothNorth Haven and Hamdenwere growing rapidly, andHamden could no longerprovide protection to thewest side of town. In re-sponse to this need, the WestRidge Volunteer Fire Com-pany was formed, andopened on Ridge Road in1951. Continued growth inthe north end of town result-ed in the formation of the

North East Volunteer FireAssociation in 1959, and by1960 a new fire station waslocated on northern Wash-ington Avenue. In 1967, sev-en volunteer firefighterswere hired by the town to be-come its first career fire-fighters operating as theHeadquarters Company.This was followed in 1972 bythe construction of the newFire Headquarters at 11Broadway, where it remainstoday.

Most criticalTo the editor:This election is the most

critical of my lifetime. Wewill be deciding if this coun-try remains a Republic thatfollows the Constitution andthe Rule of Law, or becomesa nation of people who relyon the government ratherthan ourselves. Decades ofturning our backs on toomany things going wronghave brought us to this. Relyon your intellect, not youremotions, when you decide.We no longer have luxury ofcasting a “feel-good vote.”

Veronica Hamel KivelaNorth Haven

MindfulTo the editor:As a longtime member of

the Silver Sands Beach andTennis Club in East Haven,and as a resident of NorthHaven, I have gotten to knowLen Fasano. As the owner of

Silver Sands, Len makes it apriority to hire locals at theclub. He helps charitable or-ganizations with use of theclub, donates membershipsand guest passes as raffleprizes to many localfundraisers. We need some-one like Len in Hartfordwho is mindful of his com-munity and has the best in-terests of East Haven, NorthHaven, Wallingford andtheir residents as one of histop priorities.

Sandi VitaleNorth Haven

Drive, passionTo the editor:As First Selectman of our

town, I have enjoyed work-ing with state Sen. LenFasano. Len and I haveknown each other for 30years. I have seen his driveand passion while compet-ing against him on thesports fields. I have also seenhis drive and passion while

Is your supplement worth the cost?

Commentary

By V. Deborah Culligan,RN, MPH

The definition of a dietarysupplement according to the1994 Dietary SupplementHealth and Education Act isas follows: A dietary supple-ment is intended to supportthe diet; contains one or moredietary ingredients (such asvitamins, minerals, herbs,amino acids or other botani-cals); is taken by mouth; andis labeled as a supplement.

If the national statisticsare true, at least half of read-ers of this column use someform of a dietary supple-ment. How much do you actu-ally know about the supple-ments that you take? Are theysafe and effective? If you onlyrely on information that youget from advertisements orhealth magazines that aresupported by vitamin/sup-plement companies, you maybe wasting your money — orworse, endangering yourhealth.

Before you take any di-etary supplement, you needto do your homework and un-derstand what you are tak-ing, what the supplement issupposed to do and whatmight interact with the sup-plement. An excellent sourcefor information about com-

mon supplements (and/or theelements of substances) isthe National Center for Com-plimentary and AlternativeMedicine, which is part ofthe National Institutes ofHealth. Its website isnccam.nih.gov. The followinginformation, taken from thiswebsite, is important factsyou should know about di-etary supplements:

— Federal regulations fordietary supplements are dif-ferent from the regulationsgoverning prescription andover-the-counter drugs. TheFood and Drug Administra-tion is responsible for moni-toring supplements after theyhave come to the market-place. In general, the regula-tions for supplements are lessstrict.

— A manufacturer is per-mitted to say that a dietarysupplement addresses a nu-trient deficiency, supportshealth, or is linked to a par-ticular body function (such asimmunity), if there is re-search to support the claim.Such a claim must be fol-

lowed by the words “Thisstatement has not been evalu-ated by the U.S. Food andDrug Administration. Thisproduct is not intended to di-agnose, treat, cure, or preventany disease.”

— Manufacturers do nothave to prove the safety andeffectiveness of a supplementbefore it is marketed. Themonitoring of the product bythe FDA comes after it is onthe shelves for the consumer.The Federal Trade Commis-sion is responsible for moni-toring advertisement of theproduct. If the product isfound to be unsafe or if theadvertising has false claims,the supplement can be pulledfrom the marketplace.

— You must watch for in-teractions with other supple-ments or medications thatyou take.

— You should always tellyour primary care providerabout all the supplementsyou take.

Over time, with scientificresearch, some supplementshave been shown to be effec-tive in preventing or treatinga disease. Folic acid (a vita-min) has been shown to de-crease certain birth defects.Vitamin and zinc prepara-tions have been shown toslow the progression of mac-

ular degeneration (an eye dis-ease.) Other supplements likeOmega-3 fatty acids lookpromising. But for most sup-plements, more research isneeded to “prove” effective-ness.

Most supplements areharmless. However, whilethey may not harm you, theymay not be helping you ei-ther. This may add an unnec-essary expense to your budg-et. It is crucial, however, ifyou have a particular healthproblem, that you let yourprimary care provider knowabout all the dietary supple-ments that you take. In someinstances, a supplement maycause you harm. (For exam-ple, extra potassium and kid-ney disease can be a danger-ous combination.) The NC-CAM warns that it is espe-cially important to talk toyour health care provider ifyou are:

— Thinking about replac-ing your regular medicationwith one-or-more dietary sup-plements.

— Taking any medications(whether prescription orover-the-counter), as some di-etary supplements have beenfound to interact with med-ications.

— Planning to have sur-gery. Certain dietary supple-

ments may increase the riskof bleeding or affect the re-sponse to anesthesia.

— Pregnant or nursing ababy, or are considering giv-ing a child a dietary supple-ment. Most dietary supple-ments have not been tested inpregnant women, nursingmothers, or children.

The primary responsibilityfor supplement use safetyfalls on you, the consumer. Doyour homework before youtake a supplement.

If you do have a re-action to a supplement or sus-pect something is wrong witha supplement, you can con-tact the FDA MedWatch pro-gram, 1-888-463-6332 or 1-800-332-1088.

Portal to the pastBy Kyle Swartz

The historical story de-picted at the Ireland’sGreat Hunger Museum inHamden is an elucidatinglook into a country’s paststruggles — with contem-porary undertones.

Located at 3011 WhitneyAvenue, the new museumgrew off from an originalroom within QuinnipiacUniversity’s library, whichhad been setup as an exhib-it on Ireland’s mid-19th-century, generation-defin-ing potato famine. Quin-nipiac President and sec-ond-generation Irish-

American John Lahey, plusbagel magnate MurrayLender, had been amassingartwork and research ma-terials on the subject since2000. Together they built amoving collection whichhas much to tell viewers.

Ireland’s potato famine,also known as the GreatHunger, occurred between1845 and 1852, causingwidespread food shortageacross the country. Duringthese lean years, it’s esti-mated that one million citi-zens died. Two millionmore immigrated to Amer-ica (where their ancestorsnumber around 40 million

today). Ireland’s popula-tion essentially washalved. In terms of popula-tion redistribution, thiswas an extremely signifi-cant event. It led to an in-flux of one nationality intothe United States, playing abig role in the country’srise to global power in the20th century.

But the museum also ap-propriately captures dark-er elements to this tale: forthose who chose to remainbehind, the human mortal-ity and suffering, a legacydifficult to face. Lahey apt-ly compared continuingdiscomfort experienced by

the Irish when consideringthe Great Hunger to vic-tims of assault who blamethemselves for not doingmore to prevent their per-sonal tragedy. Like theseanalogous victims, though,Ireland has nothing forwhich to feel ashamed. It’snot what leads to calamitythat ultimately defines us,but how we progress frommisfortune.

While Ireland under-went further anguish incenturies ahead, the coun-try’s ongoing resiliency,and undeniable role inshaping modern America,both should be sources of

immense pride. Hamden’sGreat Hunger Museum isan important portal to thepast, opportunity to zipback through decades intoan era when one country’sfuture hung in the balance.With the opening of this fa-cility last week, it’s wellworth a visit to understandbetter a previous, tumul-tuous time period whichemanates cultural and so-cioeconomic present dayimplications.

have lived in North Havenfor 48 years and have attend-ed many meetings in differ-ent districts, because I be-lieve it’s all one town. Is thatnegative? I was in favor ofchanging the industrial zoneto retail and commercial andchanging regulations to al-low Quinnipiac to build onits own campus. This wouldmake it safer for studentswith access to classes, andfree up more parking for

businesses. Is that negative?This would take pressure offthe town, since Quinnipiacwould have more controlover housing. Is that nega-tive? Quinnipiac said theywere going to put in a med-ical school and did. Nowthey plan to add two morecolleges here. Hamden hashad problems with collegestudents — and so has NorthHaven.

Many people felt propertyvalues will be affected. Imentioned that. Is that beingnegative, or concerned? We

all have opinions and maydiffer, but we had opportuni-ty to express these opinion.That’s a positive.

I don’t know if the Depart-ment of Transportation getsinvolved with traffic and res-idential issues, since Route 5is a state route with a localpolice department, but timewill tell. I’m thinking posi-tive that Planning and Zon-ing will stay in touch withthis development as it pro-gresses.

HalloweenContinued from page 5

North America there is a listof foods associated with theholiday. The list includesbarmbrack, bonfire toffee,candy apples, toffee apples,candy corn, candy pump-kins, caramel apples,caramel corn, colcannon,novelty candy shaped likeskulls, pumpkins, bats,worms, etc., pumpkin pie,

pumpkin bread, roastedpumpkin seeds, roastedsweet corn, and soul cakes.Each one offers a satisfyingtaste to the person with asweet tooth.

The traditions and impor-tance of the Halloween cele-bration vary significantlyamong countries that ob-serve it. In Scotland and Ire-land, traditional Halloweencostumes include childrendressing up in costumes go-ing trick-or-treating, having

parties, while other prac-tices in Ireland includelighting bonfires and havingfirework displays. Masstransatlantic immigrationin the 19th century popular-ized Halloween in NorthAmerica, and celebration inthe United States and Cana-da has had a significant im-pact on how the event is ob-served in other nations likeAustralia, South America,New Zealand, Europe,Japan, and other parts ofEast Asia.

Development of Hal-loween artifacts and sym-bols formed over time. Forinstance, the carving ofjack-o-lanterns comes fromthe Samhein custom of carv-ing turnips into lanterns asa way of remembering thedead in purgatory. The

turnip has been used in Ire-land and Scotland, but im-migrants to North Americaused the native pumpkin,which is both much softerand much larger — makingit easier to carve than aturnip. The American tradi-tion of carving pumpkinsbegan in 1837.

The imaging of Hal-loween is derived frommany sources including na-tional customs, works ofGothic and horror classicliterature such as novelsFrankenstein and Draculaand classic horror filmssuch as Frankenstein, Drac-ula, The Mummy, The Were-wolf, and The Creature fromthe Black Lagoon starringBela Lugosi, ChristopherLee, Claude Raines, BorisKarloff, Elsa Lancaster, and

Jeanette MacDonald. Elements of the autumn

season, such as pumpkins,corn husks and scarecrows,are also prevalent. Homesare often decorated withthese types of symbolsaround Halloween. Hal-loween imagery includesthemes of death, evil, mythi-cal monsters, and the occult.Black and orange are thetraditional colors.

Since the first decade ofthe 20th century, Halloweenhas been celebrated in theUnited States from coast tocoast by people of all social,racial, and religious back-grounds. On Halloween,some people keep with theoriginal practice of prayer,

Indians drub Sheehan, prepare for HandKevin Pataky and

Toby CarmodySpecial to The Citizen

North Haven HighSchool’s Jalon White scoredon a six-yard run at the 4:03mark of the first quarter inSaturday night’s SCC Divi-sional matchup between theIndians and Wallingford’sSheehan High School.

Unfortunately for the Ti-tans, White made a habit outof finding the end zone atSheehan’s Riccitelli Field.

The senior running backscored three times andrushed for a game-high 128yards on 15 carries as the In-dians defeated the Titans 42-7.

“They’re kind of bangedup, Sheehan, and a youngteam, too,” said NHHS varsi-ty football head coach An-thony Sagnella.

Besides his touchdown inthe first quarter, Whitescored at 5:56 of the secondquarter and 5:45 of the thirdon runs of four and 10 yards,respectively.

“Every year, somebodyemerges who becomes statis-tically noticeable, and moreimportantly, becomes a hugerole in the offense,” Sagnellasaid. “Jalon has been thatguy this year. Jalon has beena piece of the puzzle for somany years, but now he isthe puzzle.”

“Fortunately, we have oth-er kids who are capable ofcontributing. But Jalon isthe guy who gets us out ofjams,” the coach continued.“He turns losses into gains.He has the capability, whichis rare. Not every kid has it.We’re fortunate to havehim.”

Indian Quincy Pecora

found the end zone at the 9:00mark of the second quarteron an eight-yard scamper.Patrick Mikos returned aSheehan fumble 21 yardswith just over two minutesremaining in the first half topush the Indian advantage to28-0.

“When you go into thelocker room at halftime witha lead like that, you tell thekids to keep playing hard,”Sagnella said. “You tell themto finish the game, to play un-til you take the other teamout.”

Cole Pecora added a touch-down late in the fourth quar-ter for the Indians from nineyards out. Sheehan’s lonescore of the night came with1:32 left in the third quarterwhen Kyle Paolella scored ona 31-yard run.

North Haven’s record nowstands at 4-2, with a big gameagainst top-ranked DanielHand coming up this Fridayat home.

“It’s a big stage for us, agreat opportunity for us toplay the best team in Con-

necticut right now,” Sagnellasaid. “We’re excited about it.It will require a great effortfrom our entire team.”

“This is the direction wewant to head,” he added.“We’re trying to compete atthat level. And there’s noth-ing better for that than get-ting on the field with Hand.”

Against Sheehan, NHHSkicker Sam Biller was a per-fect 6-for-6 on extra pointkicks.

FasanoContinued from page 1

Connecticut has been notedas the worst place for peopleto retire; the state has one ofthe highest unfunded pen-sion liabilities, one of themost unfriendly business cli-mates and is one of the mostexpensive states to live in.Clearly, this is the wrongpath for the State of Con-necticut.

As a husband and fatherof three children and for thefuture of Connecticut, weneed to change the directionof the state. I would like mychildren to live in Connecti-cut and one day raise theirfamilies here, but that is be-coming an unattainable goal.Working families across thisstate are finding it difficultto find a job and pay theirbills. The burden facingevery working family isheavy. And we need to re-duce those burdens by lower-ing taxes, creating jobs andimproving the economichealth of this state by help-ing our middleclass. I will bethat person in Hartford, whowill continue to fight againsthigher taxes and stop the un-necessary spending.

We need to chart a newcourse that makes our smallbusinesses thrive. This willstrengthen our economy andbring jobs to Connecticut.The bipartisan jobs bill,which I was happy to be apart of as a Republicanworking with Democrats andthe Governor’s Office, was agood start, but we need to gofurther.

Rather than giving $115million to a multi-billion dol-lar hedge fund to move fromWestport to Stamford, or giv-ing $300 million to an out ofstate company, JacksonLabs, on a hope and a prayerthat they will create 300 jobsin Connecticut by the 10thyear, we should be doing thefollowing:

Use the tax credits to en-tice businesses to invest inthemselves by buying newmachinery or increasing thesize of their operation.

See that that moneyshould also be invested inour tech schools to preparethem for existing high-techmanufacturing jobs in Con-necticut.

Low interest rate loans

Here is my plan to startrebuilding the middleclass:

1. Make higher educationmore affordable: For manyyoung people, joining themiddleclass, or simply re-maining in it, means beingable to go to college. Unfor-tunately, skyrocketing costs,stagnant financial aid, andmounting debt are making itharder for them to pay for it.

We can make college moreaffordable by ensuring thatevery student has access to:(1) cooperative-educationprograms that combineclassroom study with real-world experience; (2) three-year degrees that allow stu-dents to get their careers go-ing more quickly; (3) onlineinstruction that gives stu-dents more convenient class-room learning options; (4)college credit for knowledgeand skills that students re-ceive in nontraditional set-tings; (5) free or low-costtextbooks that reduce class-room expenses; (6) morespots in our state universitysystem; and (7) college-busi-ness partnerships that con-nect students to companieswith jobs.

2. Promote small-businessjob growth and rein in ener-gy and healthcare costs: Thekeys to getting people backto work are: (A) stimulatingdemand by getting more dis-cretionary income into con-sumers’ hands; (B) channel-ing capital to entrepreneurs,small businesses, and com-panies in emerging indus-tries that will create good-paying jobs with benefitshere in Connecticut; and (C)pursuing common-sense ini-tiatives that will save every-one money, encourage moreinvestment and foster sus-tainable economic growth.

We can get our economygoing again if we: (1) reducehealthcare costs for smallbusinesses by giving themaccess to the state healthplan and developing betterillness management; (2) re-duce energy costs by havingthe state negotiate lowerrates for all electric utilitycustomers, and by allowingutilities to generate electrici-ty competitively again; (3) es-tablish a public-private in-frastructure bank to invest

in critical projects; (4) endwasteful corporate taxbreaks, and “claw back”state aid from companiesthat ship jobs out of state oroverseas; (5) help lower-in-come families make endsmeet by indexing the mini-mum wage to inflation; and(6) help people refinancetheir mortgage at a lower in-terest rate.

3. Support family life andhealthy communities: Frombuying a home to paying forcollege tuitions, hardwork-ing parents are struggling tomanage large amounts ofdebt, job insecurity, and,sometimes, health care is-sues. They want someone tomake sure that their kids getthe best education possible,and that help will be therefor their family if they everneed it.

We can make it easier forthem to focus on raisingtheir family if we: (1) mod-ernize aging school build-ings; (2) allocate state educa-tion funding more equitablyby requiring that the state’seducation formula uses themost accurate, up-to-date in-formation; and (3) improveinsurance coverage for chil-dren who need expensivemedical care.

4. Ensure seniors a moresecure retirement: Familiesnearing retirement, and sen-ior citizens already in retire-ment, rightly believe that be-ing part of the middle classmeans being able to saveenough money to retire, andthen being able to afford tolive on a fixed income oncethey retire.

We can improve seniors’retirement security if we: (1)protect our current seniorsafety net from people whowant to cut it; (2) pursue op-portunities to reduce sen-iors’ energy and prescriptiondrug costs; (3) promote sen-ior-friendly affordable hous-ing; and (4) develop portableretirement accounts to helpworking families save for re-tirement.

through our communitybanks, who understand ourlocal communities, to smallbusinesses.

That is investing our mon-ey in a manner that has a di-rect positive effect upon oureconomy by creating jobs,reducing unemploymentand encouraging invest-ments in Connecticut.

We need to have consisten-cy in our tax policy and reg-ulations. Our current taxpolicies have lead to uncer-tainty in the business com-munity. Finally, we need tomake it affordable to live inthis state. We need to elimi-nate the unfunded statemandates upon our munici-palities that increase ourproperty taxes. These bu-reaucratic mandates by thestate have made it more dif-ficult for working families toreside in Connecticut. Thiselimination alone could

have a significant decreaseon our local property taxes.In addition, we need to rollback the state sales tax,eliminating taxes on non-prescription drugs andclothing under $50 -- this willput more money back intothe pockets of working fami-lies. We need to help familieswho struggle day to day.

As a lifelong resident ofConnecticut and a small-business owner, I am con-cerned about the future ofour state. It’s time to traveldown a road where ideas aregenerated in a bipartisanfashion through compro-mise and leadership.

and wife, Shefts added, al-legedly was violent.

Among the more chillingphotos shown to audiencemembers by NPIS represen-tatives, an image of the light-house at night appeared toshow a ghostly man andsmall child staring out a rearwindow.

Other evidence includedwhite and grey mists, and er-ratically moving white orbs,both detectable only on film.NPIS investigators believedthe two to be detectable mani-

festations of spiritual pres-ences.

“All of us have aurasaround us,” Firulli said. “Intheory, who’s to say that ourauras are not still attached tous in the afterlife?”

Voices of spirits, Sheftssuggested, talk twice as fastas the living’s voices. Numer-ous sound clips — recorded atplaces of alleged supernatu-ral happenings — replayedfor attendees seemed to con-tain swiftly uttered mes-sages. These statements,Shefts said, were not made byanyone in the room at thetime of recording.

“All this is evidence we

gathered,” Shefts said. “Wedidn’t create any of this.”

Among recordings pre-sented by NPIS as possiblyspiritual were incomprehen-sible whisperings, presencessaying “help me” or “leave”and another using cursewords at Firulli.

“People always ask us toplay that one back for them alot of times,” Shefts said ofthe latter with a smile.

The formal program cul-minated in a video in whichinvestigators, at the ShanleyHotel in Napanoch, NewYork, politely asked a spiritto turn on a flashlight left un-

“We’d heard that the flashlight thingworked there, so we tried it out,” Firullisaid. “What we showed you was our firsttime trying it. After that, the bulbburned out. The bulb no longer worked.It was a new bulb.”

Shefts has been behind NPIS forabout eight years, ever since he took acuriosity in the subject matter to thenext level. “I followed my curiosity. Iwanted to know what there was to beafraid of,” he said. “A lot of people areafraid of ghosts. I don’t know why.There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

“All this is is history connecting withthe present,” he added. “That’s all.”

Throughout the two-hour function,NPIS members engaged attendees andasked their opinions about videos, pic-tures and recordings. Audience mem-ber, North Haven resident and believerin the supernatural Patty Gianottithought NPIS brought convincing mate-rials.

“I think this could prove a lot to peo-ple out there who are skeptics,” shesaid. “I’ve had experiences with the su-pernatural. My house in North Haven isover 100 years old.”
