If elected, Fontana saidin an interview, he would fo-cus on four areas to help themiddle class, including low-ering the cost of higher edu-cation, creating career-trackjobs, bringing down electrici-ty and healthcare costs, andhelping seniors by reducingtheir property taxes and con-trolling prescription drugcosts.

North Haven High School’svarsity baseball team fin-ished its 2012 regular seasonwith mixed results, slidinginto the state playoffs with a10-10 record.
Regardless, consideringthe track record of successfor NHHS baseball and varsi-
ty head coach Bob DeMayo,few playoff teams likely wantto draw the .500 Indians. “I’vebeen in enough tournamentsto know that if you can gethot and get on a run, you canstay on that run,” said De-Mayo, finishing up his 54thseason running NHHS base-ball.
Last week, the Indiansplayed their final threegames, two against oppo-nents ranked in the top 10 inthe state.
On May 14, the Indianslost for the second time in2012 to Notre Dame, by thescore of 6-1, to fall back to .500at 9-9. Junior Mike Acamporastarted on the hill and wentfive innings, allowing five

Voter turnout was no-tably low – 6.2 percent - butNorth Haven’s 2012-13 budg-et passed at referendumTuesday by a wide margin.
Only 935 of 15,102 regis-tered voters visited polls onMay 22, according to NorthHaven’s Registrar’s Office.Of those who voted, 755 (81percent) did so in favor ofthe $85.05 million budget,versus just 180 who wereagainst it.
“I think that the turnoutusually is low when peopleare satisfied with the budg-et,” said First SelectmanMichael Freda on May 23.“In this case, the budget’szero-percent tax increasecreated that satisfaction.The mindset of the publicwas, ‘this budget is going topass.’ Also, the weather wasrainy.”
The financial plan is a1.1-percent increase, or$959,702, over the currentbudget, but will not raisetaxes, because town offi-cials used surplus fundsfrom last fiscal year to cov-er the difference. Thus, themill rate will remain at26.54.
“I was really motivatedthis year to deliver no taxincrease,” Freda said, “be-cause our residents are be-ing taxed on so many levelsthese days — gas is hover-ing around four dollars pergallon, food prices are go-ing up.”
“I think this is a finebudget,” he added.
Moreover, the educationside of the budget approvedat referendum represents a3-percent increase for localschools, at a time whenmany surrounding munici-palities are forced by ongo-ing economic troubles to
cut education districts.“I have been very consis-
tent with respect to mywork with the superinten-dent and the board of Edu-cation in saying to them,‘tell me what you need’,”Freda said. “I have not cutback their request in threeyears. By the same token,they know that I don’t wantto play games. I don’t wantthem to send me an inflatedbudget thinking that I’mgoing to cutback.”
“I want an environmentwhere they will say, ‘Mr.Freda, this is what weneed’,” he continued. “Totheir credit, they said thisyear that they did not needany more than three per-cent.”

The Quinnipiac Chamberof Commerce highlighted lo-cal business achievements atits 70th annual meeting andluncheon, which includedguest speakers GovernorDannel Malloy and LoganByrnes of Fox 61 MorningNews.
At the May 17 event, held atWashington Avenue’s Fanta-sia, Malloy spoke about ef-forts placed into effect duringhis term as governor to com-bat unemployment. “We cre-ated 14,000 additional jobssince I’ve been governor, andthat’s not enough,” Malloysaid. “We will see additionaljob growth in the third andfourth quarter.”
Malloy also focused hisspeech on education reform,which he believes to be the“biggest long term chal-lenge” Connecticut faces atpresent day. To remedy thisproblem, he said, legislatorsrecently put together a pack-age that “will change publiceducation for Connecticut’snext generation.”

Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce President RobinWilson, left, and Chamber Vice-President Cindy Sem-rau presented Fox 61 Morning News Anchor LoganByrnes, center, with an award during the event.
“For every child who failsto get a degree, it will costConnecticut $518,000,” Mal-loy said. “If we don’t fix thisproblem, we will bankruptourselves in the long-term.”
Speaking to business-own-ers, Malloy vowed to “fightthe fight.”
“The prize we pursue is arobust and growing econo-my,” the governor said, “gen-erated primarily by smalland medium scale business-es. I am as concerned aboutour economy as you are andwe will make progress.”
Byrnes spoke about his de-
cision to change careersfrom a practicing lawyer to abroadcast journalist, callingit “scary.” Byrnes hasworked with Inside Edition,and covered red carpetevents before settling intohis position as a news anchorat Fox 61. He shared his pas-sion for his career and advo-cated taking risks.
“You don’t want to not takea chance and regret it,”Byrnes said.
During the meeting, theChamber honored severalbusinesses, naming ChoateRosemary Hall and Walling-ford Flower Shoppe the QS-tar of the Year Award Win-ners. During the meeting,chamber members also rec-ognized corporate sponsorsand business partners, andelected a new Board of Direc-tors.

Chorus members have much to celebrateBy Stefania CiarleglioSpecial to the Citizen
North Haven High Schoolsingers continue to winawards at national competi-tions.
In April, chrous memberstraveled to the “Festival ofMusic,” a national competi-tion held in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania, where high-school bands and orchestrascompeted against one anoth-er. NHHS sent four choruses,all of which earned superiorratings at the event, the high-est event-ranking that can beachieved.
Students achieved thissweep by working with Ash-
leigh Hahn, Choral Directorat NHHS, who dedicates hertime to her students and isequally passionate abouttheir accomplishments.
“We’ve been doing this fora couple of years now,” shesaid. “and this is the firsttime we’ve done so well.”
Students worked hard tocomplete this triumph, andparticipated in many activi-ties that would help them ontheir way to success, all aid-ed by Hahn and the NHHSmusic department.
“They really rose to the oc-casion,” Hahn said. “Theyperformed the best that theypossibly could and at thatpoint, I didn’t even care what
the judges had to say, be-cause I was just so proud ofthe quality of work that theycreated, and the focus thatthey brought to the perform-ance, that they were superiorin my book before they evenwere given the trophies.”
NHHS received Best Over-all Mixed Choir, as well asBest Overall Choral Ensem-ble. The award of BestSoloist at the competition gotawarded to senior Gabi Car-rubba.
Students involved in thefour ensembles were ecstaticwith their big win.
“I’ve been in choir all fouryears and finally we got it, itwas amazing,” said Michelle
Tewksbury, a senior at NHHSand member of the choir. “Ifelt relieved when we won —we worked so hard formonths and it was like aweight lifted off our shoul-ders.”
For some students, being apart of the choir was alsoabout bonding with theirteacher, Hahn.
“She is one of my favoriteteachers,” said NHHS stu-dent Dominique Lafond.“She
has brought us so far andhaving this accomplishmentof superior just proves howawesome she is.”
Hahn’s passion for her joband her students is indicatedby her excitement for themall earning superior-ratingstatus.
“I am so proud of them,”Hahn said. “I was jumpingup and down with them. Weare definitely enjoying ourvictory.”

you’re in the middle class, thesystem helps you to succeed,improve your life, and con-tribute back to the economyand society,” Fontana said.
Fontana’s 14 years as astate representative in the87th district and years as a se-lectman were big sellingpoints for delegates. Fontanalost his House seat to DaveYaccarino by about 1,000votes in 2010. He has attrib-uted the loss to an anti-in-cumbent sentiment that year.
Reached by phone Mondayafternoon, Fasano said hehas a good working relation-ship on local issues withFontana, who was NorthHaven’s state representativefor many of the years Fasanohas served as state senator,but the two differ on big-pic-ture state issues.
“We worked on local issues
well together — we collabo-rated well together and had agood relationship,” Fasanosaid. “I believe he believes inbigger government and moretaxing — I don’t.”
As for the middle class,Fasano said his lack of sup-port for taxes on energy billsand sales taxes was helpfulfor the middle class.
“I think that hurts every-one — particularly low andmiddle income people. Ithink that my votes and myactions demonstrate mycommitment to middle in-come and low income peo-ple,” Fasano said.
Veteran state Rep. MaryMushinsky (D-85th District),who is also up for reelectionthis year, was the first tonominate Fontana. She toldthe crowd that House Democ-rats were planning to makehim majority leader the yearhe lost his election bid. Shealso invoked his years as
House chairman of the Gen-eral Assembly’s Energy andTechnology Committee andthe Insurance and Real Es-tate Committee, saying thatwith rising energy costs, hisexperience was important.
“He’s one of the few publicofficials with a deep under-standing of this importantissue,” Mushinsky said.
Wallingford Democratswere impressed by theamount of time Fontanahad spent at their meetingssince he began campaigningfive months ago.
“A lot of the time candi-dates come and say theirpeace and leave,” said DebiReynolds, committee vicechair. “He wanted to reallyknow about our town andour group — he wasn’t a one-trick pony.”

Slippery slopeEditor:The HOZ and AHOZ pro-
posals for building multi-family housing projects inR-40 Zones are anything butaffordable. They are pricedat $250,000 to $300,000. In ad-dition to mortgage fees, tax-es, insurance, there will be amonthly condo fee averag-ing, perhaps, $300 to $350.
Young families — payingdown college debts, lookingfor jobs — are not in thismarket. With this economy, Ido not know who is. Howev-er, we have a surplus inNorth Haven of single-fami-ly homes starting below$200,000 to $300,000. Thereare many lovely homes inthis category. The developer
would have you believe wehave shacks for sale all overtown and need his housingproject.
If that were the case, whywould our town be so desir-able to live in? That was stat-ed many times, ironically, bythe pro-development crew atthe last public hearing onHOZ and AHOZ. Actually,the reason North Haven isso desirable is because ofour strict zoning regula-tions.
Historically, these types ofprojects haven’t worked.Many were built in the 50’sand 60’s. Two examples areFather Panik Village inBridgeport, which in myopinion was one of the mostdangerous places to live, andQuinnipiac Terrace in New
Haven. I believe that they be-came crime and slum areas,and had to be torn down.Many still exist — unfortu-nately for the residents! It isnothing but greed and sheernegligence for developers tobuild this type of housingtoday, knowing what it willbecome, and the effect it willhave on surrounding neigh-borhoods. It is a slipperyslope. We do not want to riskgoing there. Please attendthe next Planning and Zon-ing Public Hearing at theRecreation Center on Lins-ley Street, June 4, at 7 p.m.You can also email objec-tions to HOZ and AHOZ [email protected]

Empty suggestionbox is Malloy’s
budget jokeBy Chris Powell
At least the Malloy admin-istration’s rankest cynicismyet has come with a sense ofhumor.
The administration’s con-cessions agreement with thestate employee unions a yearago called for all sorts oflargely speculative savings,none more speculative thanthe $180 million that was tobe saved over two years be-cause of efficiency sugges-tions from state employeesthemselves.
While the number seemedplucked out of the ether, boththe administration andunion leaders insisted that itwas achievable. So theamount was built into thestate budget and forgottenuntil the other day, when, asthe budget sunk into a bigdeficit, the Journal Inquir-er’s state Capitol reporter, EdJacovino, asked budget di-rector Benjamin Barnesabout what had been calledthe “suggestion box” portionof the concessions agree-ment. As it turned out,Barnes acknowledged, theMalloy administration neverkept track of any such sug-gestions, could not identify
any that had been receivedand implemented, and in ef-fect had shut down the “sug-gestion box.” That wasn’t tosay that the administrationdidn’t adjust the budget any-way after it was enacted —just that the budget chiefand state agency heads didthe cutting on their own.
“I’ve never implied that‘employee savings’ can’t befrom management,” Barnesexplained, noting that he is astate employee too: “I receivea paycheck every twoweeks.”
Pretty funny — exceptthat a year ago it was explic-it that the ideas for the $180million in savings were tocome from the employeesrepresented by the State Em-ployees Bargaining AgentCoalition, even as some ob-servers suspected that thefigure was just a fudge factorfor the administration —cover for postponing budgetdecisions. The “suggestionbox” helped mislead peopleinto thinking that the gover-nor’s theme of “shared sacri-fice” was sincere.
It was sacrifice for thestate employees only insofar

JokeContinued from page 10
as they endured a small re-duction in the rate of in-crease in their compensa-tion. There were no net re-ductions in that compensa-tion, nor in the state budgetitself, which rose substantial-ly. The only real reductionswere in services to the public.And while state “aid to educa-tion” is increasing again,parents throughout the stateare protesting to their munic-ipal school boards about re-ductions in programs fortheir children. These also arecalled “budget cuts,” but onthe municipal level too thereare no “cuts,” just liquida-tions of services and the con-version of the resources intoemployee compensation.
At least in most municipal-ities, public employees stillcan be laid off. But not at thestate level — not until July
2015, since the governorpromised the state employeeunions not to take anyone’sjob away before then in re-turn for their generous ac-ceptance of a smaller rate ofincrease in compensation.
It may take a few more ofyears of budget directorBarnes’ drollness beforeenough Connecticut votersrealize that the foremost ob-jective of state governmentis only the care and feedingof its own employees andthat the one coherent publicpolicy in the state long hasbeen only to remove the com-pensation of governmentemployees from ordinarypolitics and democracy.
But the public’s realiza-tion might be hastened ifConnecticut’s ineffectual po-litical minority, the Republi-cans, developed their ownsense of humor and back-bone, understood that theycan never outbid the majori-ty Democrats for special in-
terests (the Democrats al-ways being able to pay cashup front), and resolved to ex-ploit state government’s in-numerable ironies and inani-ties — like the suggestionbox that, while empty, was,for the state employeeunions, far more valuablethan one stuffed with goldcoins.
At least Connecticut’s ownMark Twain got it: “Power,money, persuasion, supplica-tion, persecution — thesecan lift at a colossal humbug,push it a little, weaken it a lit-tle, century by century — butonly laughter can blow it torags and atoms at a blast.Against the assault of laugh-ter nothing can stand.”
Maybe not even public em-ployee unions.

Work for youthsBy Kyle Swartz
To combat high nationalunemployment rates forteens, legislators must craftmore initiatives which helpinduce creation of summerand part-time work oppor-tunities.
According to the U.S. Bu-reau of Labor Statistics,America’s unemploymentrate in 2011 for job-aspi-rants 16 to 19 years old was24.4 percent, which does notinclude those who do not ap-ply for openings. Since theBureau began compilingsuch data in the late 1940s,last year’s number was thesecond highest ever record-ed. Worst of all time was 25.9percent, in 2010. More mustbe done to address this issue.
Entire families can sufferwhen wages are not avail-able for older kids. Manyteenagers, fortunate enoughto have work, contributeportions of paychecks tohouseholds’ overall budgets.With fewer chances for ado-lescents to secure employ-ment, steady sources of do-mestic income disappear.Moreover, when jobs are
scarce, even youths whosimply want discretionarymoney must instead requestfinances from mom, dad orguardians, which placesadded levels of stress uponthe family.
One factor behind in-creased teen joblessness isthat youths will often comeup against experiencedadults willing to work part-time for stable pay. Whileanyone’s successful ascen-sion out of unemployment-status in this sluggish econo-my is positive, too much po-sition-filling at newer gener-ations’ expense is detrimen-tal long-term.
For at part-time jobs iswhere most members of to-morrow’s labor force willfirst learn valuable work-place skills. Delaying ordenying this experience, cru-cial to one’s ongoing profes-sional development, will en-gender negative economicimplications in futuredecades. People who missout on employment earlymay not reach full potential.Already, businesses nation-wide report deficiencies inquantities of candidates who
can fill positions which re-quire advanced capabilities.
Teenagers’ employmentstatistics have worsened alsobecause of automated ma-chines’ replacement of per-sonnel at low-level tasks —for example, grocery stores’self-scan aisles — and con-tinued closures of business-es which utilize large staffs,like Friendly’s in NorthHaven. Commendably, theWhite House and U.S. De-partment of Labor have be-gun a campaign to generate250,000 private-sector jobs,with at least 100,000 beingpaid spots. While this is astart, even more govern-ment-backed employmentstimulus is necessary. Other-wise, a generation whose fu-ture is already threatened bythe Great Recession’s after-math could fall even furtherbehind — an unacceptable,dangerous prospect.

The weather this springhas been crazy! Warm, hot,then cold, then warm, thenhot. It may be confusing tous humans to know how todress. But to the insect pop-ulation, a couple of warmdays means “rise andshine.” No doubt, many ofyou have already experi-enced the “joy” of mosqui-toes, ticks and ants.
The Quinnipiac ValleyHealth District (QVHD) of-fice gets many phone callsabout ticks. A popularquestion asked by con-stituents is “should I getthis tick tested?” A secondquestion often asked is“how do I go about gettingit tested?” The answer tothe first question is harderthan the answer to the sec-ond question.
Some ticks (deer ticks)can be infected with thegerm that causes Lyme dis-ease. Others cannot. If youfind a deer tick attached toyou, it does not mean that ithad the opportunity totransmit the germ intoyour body, even if a tick isinfected. Generally a tickmust be: A) infected withthe germ B) attached to aperson for at least 24 hoursand C) consume a bloodmeal in order for the germto be passed into your body.
So, with those facts inmind, is the presence of adeer tick on your body (oran actual bite) cause forpanic and alarm? The an-swer is no. But it may merita call to your doctor. Somehealth practitioners arenow treating preventivelyfollowing a tick bite, givingsome antibiotics prior tothe onset of disease. How-ever, many health practi-tioners are not doing this.Discuss this with your doc-tor. Certainly, if you are nottreated preventively, it isvery important to watchfor symptoms and seekprompt medical care,should any occur.
Ticks can be tested forthe presence of the germ.However, this will not tellyou if the germ passed intoyour body. The turnaroundtime to get the testing re-sults can take up to threeweeks. When a physicianfeels that a tick should betested, you can get it doneat no cost at the CT Agri-cultural Station, but youmust first get a referralform from QVHD, and youmust transport it to theAgricultural Station.
Live ticks are testedmore rapidly and accurate-ly. To keep it alive, put it ina sealed container withsome leaves. (Dead tickscan also be tested.) If thetick is not engorged (filledwith blood) the Agricultur-al Station will usually onlyidentify the type of tick.
It is extremely wise to beobservant for symptomsfollowing a tick bite. Whilenot everyone will get clas-sic or all of these symp-toms, most people get someindication of symptoms orillness.
Watch for:— A rash, which starts
as a small spot at the site ofthe bite, than expands tocover a good size area. Itmay have a bulls-eye ap-pearance. The key is that itexpands gradually over afew days. (It is not the redspot at the sight of thebite.) There may be morethan one of these rash ar-eas. A Lyme disease rashmay look like a giant sorewith elevated areas, or itmay be flat and look like aslap. It differs from a heatrash or a rash like chickenpox in that it is not a small,spotted rash.

Chiropractor tip of the weekHappy Memorial Day weekend! We would like to take
this time to send a special thanks to all those serving inthe military, past and present.
Here’s a quick tip to help with neck/back pain associat-ed with long hours traveling in tight quarters. Seats incars, trains, planes etc. often don’t provide the right typeof support for the lower back and/or neck. A lumbar sup-port pillow can be used to make your seat more comfort-able and support your lower back. If you don’t have one orforget to bring it, a jacket, sweater or blanket rolled up canalso provide support for the inward curve of the low back.
This is often particularly important if traveling coachclass on a long flight, as many airplane seats lack low-back support. In this case, an airplane pillow or blanketplaced between the seat and low back can work well. Aninflatable travel pillow that fits around the neck can helpavoid neck strain by providing head support while rest-ing or sleeping in a sitting position during travel.
Tip of the week courtesy ofprofessional chiropractorsMaxwell L.S. Mitchell, D.C.,and Candice Pollack, D.C.,M.S, of APM Chiropracticand Wellness Center, 444bWashington Avenue.

runs while suffering the loss.“That was one of those
games where we basically fellinto our non-hitting mode.All year long, hitting hasbeen one of our weak spots,”DeMayo said. “Our battersonly got one hit while strik-ing out 11 times.”
“We have just one kid bat-ting over .300. Our team bat-ting average is in the .180s —that’s the lowest it has everbeen,” he added. “That Mon-day game was also a domi-nant pitching performanceon the part of Notre Dame,though.”
On Wednesday, NorthHaven traveled to Guilfordfor a rematch with a teamthey had beaten earlier in theseason. This matchup provedsimilar to the first — whichhad featured numerouswalks issued by Guilfordpitchers — as Indians re-ceived three walks in the firstinning, including one withthe bases loaded to take a 1-0lead.
Guilford tied the game inthe bottom of the first — alsoon a bases-loaded walk — andthen took the lead 2-1 on abase hit.
North Haven respondedwith six runs in the top of thesecond to take a commanding7-2 lead. “That was one of ourunusual breakout innings,”DeMayo said. “We had some

key base hits, and there weresome walks and errors onGuilford’s part.”
Guilford plated three moreruns before it was over tomake things interesting, butNorth Haven hung on for a 7-5 win to improve to 10-9. Ju-nior Matt Oestreicher andsenior CJ Flanigan each hada pair of hits to pace the Indi-
an offense. Junior ZackBrown pitched a completegame to earn the win.
“Zach has pitched againstall the top teams,” DeMayosaid. “He’s definitely our toppitcher.”
Friday night was seniornight, and prior to the gamewith Amity, the team cele-brated the 10 graduating sen-iors and their families.
“We have quite a few sen-iors this year,” DeMayo said.“My tradition is that I try to
get all the seniors into thegame.”
This contest also was a re-match from an earlier-seasongame that North Haven won8-6. But the Spartans jumpedout to a 4-0 lead on Indianstarter Chandler Andrewsenby the third inning, and wenton to a 8-0 victory.
“This was not our best per-formance,” DeMayo said.“We had difficulty keepingAmity off of the score-board.”
“We had an opportunity inthe bottom of the fifth, withtwo on and nobody out, butthey picked off one of ourrunners, and that reallykilled any rally that we hadgoing,” he added.
The loss dropped NorthHaven back to .500 as theycompleted the regular seasonwith a 10-10 record. An-drewsen suffered the loss. In-dian batters only managedone hit while striking out 10times and making six errorsin the field.
North Haven has this weekoff, because they missed outon the SCC Tournament, butwill prepare for the Class LState Tournament, whichstarts for them with an awaygame on Tuesday, May 29.
“Right now, we’re just try-ing to get some scrimmagesin before the state tourna-ment, trying to keep the kidsin shape,” DeMayo said.
A boost to the bats would
surely help North Haven inthe playoffs. “For whateverreason, we’ve had difficultyall year with hitting whenthere are men on base,” De-Mayo said. “We’ve hadstretches where we playedwell. But, as of late, ourpitching, hitting and defensehave kind of taken a nose-dive.”
“Still, not too many teamslike to play North Haven, sothat’s kind of an edge,” he
added.Indian Notes: With their
10th win, the Indians made itto double digits for the 12thtime since 2000. During thattime, they have made theClass L Finals in all but oneseason, amassing a 22-10tournament record whilecollecting one state champi-onship in 2003, one runnerup in 2004 and one final-fourappearance in 2010. Bob De-Mayo now has 816 wins.

residents at the polls. “It’s un-fortunate that we only had asix percent turnout,” Spadersaid May 22, after resultscame in. “With these referen-dums, you always hope forgreater participation, so it isdisappointing to get thisturnout.”
“But the people who didvote had their voices heardand they passed the budget,”he added. “I think the Democ-rats on the Board of Finance— Michael Hallahan and Pa-tricia Brown — did a greatjob of making sure that ourgoals were met. I know thatthey worked behind thescenes to make sure that thebudget was good for every-one. I’m proud of the workthat my Democrats did on theBoard of Finance and theBoard of Education in pre-senting a budget that is goodfor town.”
Such a low turnout, Spaderbelieved, is not a sign thatNorth Haven should abandonreferendums. “I am in favorof referendums,” he said.“Having elections is impor-tant even if there is a one-per-cent turnout. Governmentexists for the people and hastto be accountable to the peo-ple.”
“I do not want to let the fewcontrol the many,” he added.“I could never support anymeasures that abridge any-one’s right to a private voteon the budget.”
Freda agreed. “I am a firmproponent of the referendumprocess,” he said.

— Use a tick repellant on yourpets.
— Do a daily body check, espe-cially in the folds of skin or
