Cinemark awarded town’s first tax abatement

Cinemark USA has applied for and been granted the town’s first tax incentive for the theater it is building on Universal Drive.

The company estimates it will spend $16,200,000 on con-struction costs, which meets the town’s requirement of $10,000,000 for a seven-year tax incentive program, which provides discounts on prop-erty taxes for seven years. Cinemark is building a 57,202 square foot theater that will contain 14 screens, seating for up to 1,329 and food and bev-erage facilities.

According to assessor Gary Johns, the amount Cinemark will pay for the first seven years ranges from $197,154 to $294,354 before it pays the

full amount of $318,654 the eighth year.

The selectmen voted to approve Cinemark’s tax in-centive agreement at its Jan.

8 meeting. After a resident questioned the low rates Cin-emark will be paying, First Selectman Mike Freda said the amount paid every year

exceeds the current amount paid by Rave Cinemas, which the Cinemark theater will re-place, which is $156,654. In addition, Rave will continue

to pay those taxes while the new Cinemark theater is be-ing constructed.

“We’ll retain the tax ben-efits of the existing struc-ture that won’t be torn down while the Cinemark theater is being built and we’ll get the benefit of the assessed value that is much higher than the current rate,” Freda said. “And the tax phase-in is on a higher assessed value each year, so we make more tax revenue even during the phase-in pe-riod than we’re generating now.”

Plans for the Cinemark complex are to include space for four new businesses af-ter Rave Cinemas is torn down. None will qualify for tax abatements. “They won’t qualify for tax phase-ins, so it’s pure new revenue,” Freda said.

Residents who have gen-erously contributed to North Haven’s holiday gift and food charities are now being asked to donate to the town’s fuel bank.

With temperatures dip-ping down to near zero last week, the need for heating oil is at an annual high and 50 families are currently be-ing assisted by the fuel bank that buys them 100 gallons of heating oil.

Malloy outlines transit goals for Connecticut

HARTFORD — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy opened his second term Jan. 7 with a warning of a sclerotic Con-necticut whose economy and quality of life are threatened by crumbling and clogged highways and inadequate and underfunded mass transit.

In a drive-time State of the State Address, Malloy broadly hinted he will seek new revenues to finance over-due transportation improve-ments, saying gasoline taxes are not sufficient to maintain existing infrastructure, much less expand the capacity of the state’s highways and tran-sit systems.

He never got to “the ask,” the pitch for money. That is for another day, after Malloy begins what he says will be a conversation with the state’s taxpayers and its political and business leadership. He knows he must first make a case to a skeptical public that new revenue will not be diverted.

“Today, I am proposing that Connecticut create a se-cure transportation lockbox that will ensure every single dollar raised for transporta-tion is spent on transporta-tion, now and into the future,” Malloy told the joint session of the General Assembly. “No gimmicks! No gimmicks and no diversions.”

He is prepared to rely on Wall Street to be the enforcer.

Knowing that any law can be amended, Malloy said the administration will use bond covenants — the conditions attached to borrowing on the bond market — to ensure that transportation revenues will not be siphoned off.

The speech was the open-ing of a new campaign.

Malloy held a press confer-ence Jan. 8 in Meriden with Transportation Commis-sioner James P. Redeker.

Before Malloy delivered his speech, the administration already had teed up quotes from business, union and en-vironmental leaders that read like upbeat movie blurbs.

“We know that transpor-tation and economic growth are bound together. States that make long-term invest-ments in their infrastructure can have vibrant economies for generations. States that don’t, will struggle. It is that simple,” Malloy said.

Republican legislators gen-erally applauded the Demo-cratic governor for his vision, even if they expressed skepti-cism about the details that are to come on fiscal safeguards.

Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said legislative efforts to safe-guard transportation funding haven’t been enough. When

budgets are tight, he said, lawmakers tend to raid other funds for operating money.

“The problem is you can-not bind the hands of legis-lators in the future,” he said. “So we really need more than that.”

Sen. Rob Kane, R-Water-town, the ranking Republi-can on the Appropriations Committee, suggested that the Democratic governor would have a credibility defi-cit with the GOP as a lockbox architect.

“In this administration, close to $500 million has been moved from the special trans-portation fund,” Kane said. “When he says lockbox, it’s because he’s the biggest of-fender of it. So that’s an ad-mission of guilt in my eyes.”

Rep. Antonio Guerrera, D-Rocky Hill, the co-chair-man of the Transportation Committee, said the state needs a protected source of transportation funding, since it can no longer rely on the federal government to fund infrastructure projects and gas tax revenues are expected to fall as cars become more fuel-efficient.

“So this is the right move. It’s the right step,” he said.

The governor insisted a legal “lockbox” must ensure

“every single dollar raised for transportation is spent on transportation, now and in the future.”

But GOP leaders noted that the transportation fund not only relies on fuel taxes, but also upon about $80 million in annual sales tax receipts and a $150 million-a-year sub-sidy from the general fund.

If tolls or another gaso-line tax hike is to go forward, all resources currently sent to transportation must be locked down — not just the high-profile sources, Repub-licans said.

“Investment in transpor-tation is not the issue,” said House Minority Leader The-mis Klarides, R-Derby. She said her caucus has long sup-ported an enhanced transpor-tation network. “It’s where the money is going to come from. It can’t be this shell game of moving the money around.”

Democrats applauded the ambition, even if they do not yet know exactly what they will be asked to approve.

“I think this is the year of going big,” said House Speaker J. Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden.

Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano and House Minority Leader Themis Klarides

during the governor’s State of the State address.

“It was a major, far-reach-ing, ambitious initiative,” said Senate President Pro Tem Martin M. Looney of New Haven. “It was typical of the governor’s leadership.”

“I think it was important that he acknowledged the legislature has been a part-ner with him,” Senate Ma-jority Leader Robert Duff, D-Norwalk, said, predicting lawmakers would rise to the governor’s challenge to tackle transportation.

One lighter measure of the political importance of traf-fic to Duff, whose Fairfield County constituents suffer the state’s worst traffic con-gestion, is his Twitter feed: It routinely includes warnings of accidents on I-95.

The state’s chief business lobby offered a supportive canned quote for the gover-nor’s pitch, but the group’s president said in an inter-view that Malloy must con-vince taxpayers that any new revenues truly will go to transportation.

Joseph F. Brennan, pres-ident of the Connecticut Business and Industry Asso-ciation, said taxpayers have

watched over the past de-cade as more than $1 billion in fuel tax receipts has been spent on non-transportation programs. But Brennan also said he feels optimistic given Malloy’s address.

The governor said the cost of inaction would be high.

“All told roads and bridges that are either deficient or overly congested cost Con-necticut drivers a total of $4.2 billion annually,” he said. “It’s harming us and the health of our children with additional air pollution and smog. Sim-ply put, our investments have not kept pace with our needs, and our residents and busi-nesses are paying the price.”

He absolved his first term, insisting he has been bet-ter for transportation than any governor since William A. O’Neill, who launched a crash-spending program on highways and bridges after

the collapse of a bridge car-rying I-95 across the Mianus River in Greenwich.

“We’ve taken action on long-overdue projects like widening I-84 in Waterbury, replacing the Walk Bridge in Norwalk, and adding new tracks and signal systems be-tween New Haven and Hart-ford. All told, we’ve invested more in transportation than any time dating back to Gov-ernor O’Neill. It’s more prog-ress than Connecticut has made in decades,” he said. “But here’s the problem: it’s still not enough. We have so much more to do.”

Malloy tried to cast the need for what could be bil-

lions in new long-term spend-ing in household terms. He said congestion keeps every resident, on average, on the road for an extra 42 hours a year.

“And for our economy, it’s the equivalent of $97 million in lost time and wasted fuel, each and every day,” he said.

After losing the state rep-resentative race to Dave Yac-carino in November, Alden Mead maintained interest in town service and on Jan. 8 was appointed to become North Haven’s representa-tive to the Cable TV Advi-sory Council of South Central Connecticut.

Prior to his appointment, North Haven didn’t have a representative on the council, which supports local access cable TV stations, including NHTV.

“The function is to provide liaison between subscribers and cable, not just NHTV but Comcast,” Mead said.

Mead will work with Wal-ter Mann, executive director of NHTV, on local cable TV issues.

All three selectmen praised Mead’s varied background when he was appointed at the January selectmen’s meeting.

“I’m grateful to the select-men for the appointment. It’s great that the town has a well-equipped station and it needs to be protected,” Mead said.

Mead said he is not a ca-ble TV expert but has famil-iarity with television, video and production operations. As a professor at the Yale Medical School, Mead pro-duced and performed a two-

hour video concerning the anatomy of whales, dolphins and porpoises. As director of technology at ORBIS In-ternational, he oversaw the production of documentaries on eye surgery in developing countries, including Ethiopia and Vietnam. “On the ORBIS DC-10 craft, I had two, and often three full-time audiovi-sual crew members devoted to our onboard ‘television station,’” Mead said.

“These experiences make me empathetic with cable providers and I’d like to do something important where nobody is doing it now,” he said.

“Other towns in the region have had more representation and someone needs to attend to make sure North Haven has equal representation in terms of TV access,” Mead said. “I’m very impressed with Walter Mann and his staff at NHTV and am excited to support him and be useful in any way.”

The North Haven Repertory Theater will hold auditions

for its spring cabaret production Tuesday, Jan. 20 at St. John’s Church.

On the heels of its success-ful first run in June 2014, the North Haven Repertory The-ater announces auditions for the Spring 2015 edition of its Cabaret Series.

Auditions will be held

Tuesday, Jan. 20 at St. John’s Church at 3 Trumbull Place for performances on Feb. 28 and March 1 at the church.

Director James Mase said the group is looking for a cast of six to eight to participate in the cabaret performance, which Mase called “an inti-mate evening of theatrical

song and celebration.”For the audition, perform-

ers should come prepared with songs from their exist-ing repertoire, including a theatrical selection pre-1968 and a theatrical song from American musical theater post 1968.

“Most singers prepare for auditions with songs they like to sing,” Mase pointed out, and said singers should also prepare stories about the songs that may be included in the production.

Auditions will be held by appointment only. To sign up, visit www.Sig-nUpGenius.com/go/

HARTFORD (AP) — The State Bond Commission has approved $5.75 million to help pay for the design and environmental costs of several new rail stations in Connecticut.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Monday the funding is part of his larger, planned over-haul of the state’s transporta-tion system. That proposal is expected to be unveiled next month.

The $5.75 million will be combined with another $4 million in previously ap-

proved funding. It will be used toward new

stations in Enfield, West Hart-ford, Newington and North Haven along the expanded New Haven-to-Springfield corridor.

The funding will also help cover improvements to ex-isting stations in Windsor Locks and Windsor, as well as a location study for a fu-ture Hamden station.

New stations are also planned on the New Ha-ven Line in Orange and Bridgeport.

With the recent cold snap and two more months of win-ter ahead, local animal care personnel are asking pet own-ers to be careful about pets being outside during extreme cold temperatures. Experts in Meriden and Cheshire as well as with the Humane So-ciety recently provided the following advice and legal information for pet owners.

With the Meriden depart-ment, assistant animal con-trol Officer Sarah Bacon said a public act passed in June 2013 creates penalties for the tethering of dogs outside in certain weather conditions such as extreme cold.

Nicholas Naoumides, of

the VCA Cheshire Animal Hospital, doesn’t usually see pets coming in with cold weather related symptoms. Some breeds with thicker hair or that are bred for colder weather are fine out-side for a slightly longer time, he said. Beyond the cold, he said, there are other hazards for dogs and cats outside this time of year such as an-ti-freeze and salt. Naoumides recommended pet owners read warning labels and try to get non-toxic materials. In terms of having pets outside in the cold, Naoumides said to use common sense

“Obviously you shouldn’t leave them out for too long,” Naoumides said.

The Humane Society of-fers tips on protecting pets in cold weather. Tips include keeping pets inside as much as possible.

If the pet must go outside, the Humane Society recom-mends a sweater or jacket for smaller or short-hair breeds. Exposed skin on a dog’s nose, ears and paw pads are vulnerable to frost bite or hypothermia.

Give pets plenty of food and water because keeping warm depletes energy. Plas-tic bowls are recommended as metal can freeze and stick to pets’ tongues.

OpinionLetters to the Editor

Check your facts

To the editor:A recent example of

wrong reporting in The North Haven Citizen oc-curred in the Jan. 2, 2015 article, in an article sum-marizing town news stories from last year. In a discus-sion of the October tax in-centive program, this article stated: “The town consid-ered adding a clause to the incentive program that would encourage companies to hire local residents, but left it out before the pro-gram was voted on.” That statement is wrong. The tax incentive ordinance does, in fact, contain a clause en-

couraging companies that receive tax incentives to hire town residents.

This is not the first time The Citizen has reported this specific inaccurate in-formation. I worked hard on the tax incentive ordinance, and I worked closely with town attorneys in draft-ing various provisions. The clause about hiring town residents was particularly important to me. So please do your research. Please check your facts. The good citizens of North Haven are depending on you to accu-rately report the news.

Sally J. BuemiThird Selectman

North Haven

At first it sounds like a story of only local interest: McDonald’s wants to tear down its restaurant on North Colony Road in Wallingford and rebuild it, smaller. That’s

right: as reported Jan. 6, the plan is to ditch the kiddie corral — that is, the Play-Place in the front — and shrink the building to make room for a two-lane drive-thru. A few thoughts:

I wonder how we got to a time when the archaic word “through” is disappearing in favor of “thru” — as in “drive-thru.” I’d like to blame our neighbors to the west, with their New York State

Thruway, but that modernistic word actually predates the building of their famous high-way system.

More to the point, I think we can read quite a bit into the plan for 680 N. Colony. If statistics about the fast-food industry are to be believed, almost two-thirds of the reve-nue at a McDonald’s now comes in through the drive-up window, and I can’t help notic-ing how empty the dining areas of many of these Scottish restaurants look these days — how few people you see sitting down in their kilts and enjoying some haggis as you drive through (or thru). Oh, many locations do have a kaffeeklatsch of local old-timers who gather each morning, but once they drive off in their Buicks, the dining area is largely wasted space. (For whatever reason, drive-thru sales account for only 38 percent of the business at chicken restaurants.)

The other part of a McDonald’s that often looks alarmingly empty, from a profit-per-square-foot point of view, is the PlayPlace — that is, if the location even has a PlayPlace, which not too many McDonald’s (“Mc-Donaldses”? “McDonald’ses”?) do. Why? Well, probably because most kids, like their

parents, never get out of the car; they’re too busy scarfing down burgers and sug-ary drinks in the back seat. And maybe the parents are worried about other kids’ germs, or possible injuries. And then there must be corporate folks who are only too happy to get rid of the tot-atorium, because it pro-vides so many opportunities for lawsuits.

Suffice it to say that a natural appetite for profit is driving the need for the two-lane drive-thru — which, it seems, will come with improved “speaker clarity” and the ad-dition of workers called “auto greeters.” (We may have encountered these guys already; when the person at the window looks like she couldn’t possibly be the deep-voiced fel-low who took your order, I wonder whether the voice on the speaker might actually be coming to you from McD headquarters out in Illinois, maybe even from a Hamburger University undergrad.)

Anyway, one place that already has two lanes is the McDonald’s on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington, which once was an old-timey “golden arches” location and a hangout for teens, so long ago that it of-fered a burger, an order of fries and a shake for 15 cents each — the 45-cent McDon-ald’s “meal.” (That’s right, I’m one of those old-timers, too; I just haven’t picked up my Buick yet.)

Where was I? Oh, for more information along these lines you can go to mcdonalds.com (“A place where a little lovin’ conquers all”), and read all about how Dick and Mac McDonald opened McDonald’s Bar-B-Q Restaurant in San Bernardino, Calif., in 1940; and how Ray Kroc opened his first Mc-Donald’s in Des Plaines, Ill., in 1955 and his 100th restaurant just four years later and his 5,000th (in Kanagawa, Japan) in 1978; and that Nov. 20 was designated “McHappy Day” in 2002; and that the Shamrock Shake was first offered nationwide in 2012.

Now, isn’t that interesting?

A former NHL star, a Yale football great, the all-time leading scorer in scholastic girls basketball and a Fairfield County league administrator and coach will receive Gold Keys at the 74th Gold Key Dinner administered by the Connecticut Sports Writers’ Alliance in April.

Former pro hockey player Craig Janney of Enfield, Yale running back John Pagliaro of Derby, former Killingly High and Providence College bas-ketball standout Tracy Lis and longtime FCIAC administra-tor John Kuczo will be hon-ored on April 26 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington.

The Gold Key is regarded as one of the highest sports awards in the state, and since 1940 the Connecticut Sports Writers’ Alliance has recog-nized individuals from the state who have achieved ex-cellence on the youth, high school, collegiate and profes-

sional levels. Tickets to the 2015 Gold

Key Dinner can be purchased by contacting Matthew Con-yers of The Hartford Courant at (860) 874-4166 or [email protected], or Tim Jensen of The Enfield Source at [email protected]. Tickets can also be obtained by mailing a check to Con-necticut Sports Writers’ Alli-ance, P.O. Box 70, Unionville, CT, 06085.

Craig Janney: After lead-ing Enfield High to a perfect season and a Division I title in 1983, Janney went on to be-come one of the state’s most successful hockey players. He played in 880 NHL games over 12 seasons, competing for six different teams.

In his rookie season of 1988-89, Janney placed fifth in the Calder Trophy voting, won by his former Boston College teammate and fellow Connecticut product, Brian

Leetch. The following year, Janney scored the game-win-ning goal in Game 7 of a play-off series against the Hartford Whalers, but the Bruins fell to Edmonton in five games in the Stanley Cup finals.

On Feb. 7, 1992, Janney was traded to the St. Louis Blues for another playmaking cen-ter, Adam Oates. Janney en-joyed his biggest statistical season in 1992-93, registering 82 assists and 106 points.

Janney spent his final five seasons bouncing between the San Jose Sharks, Winni-peg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes, Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders.

He retired following the 1998-99 campaign with 751 points in 760 regular-season games, and 110 in 120 playoff contests.

Janney was named All-State three times, amassing 125 goals and 137 assists. He played his senior season at

Deerfield (Mass.) Academy, where he racked up 33 goals and 35 assists in 17 games.

Tracy Lis: Lis has held the state’s career scoring record in both boys and girls basket-ball for a quarter century.

A four-year starting shoot-ing guard at Killingly High, Lis scored 3,681 points in high school and broke Wal-ter Luckett’s all-time scoring mark.

A decade ago, Lis was among 15 players selected to the Big East Conference’s Silver Anniversary team. She played for Providence College from 1988 to 1992 and remains the program’s career scoring leader with 2,534 points and ranks third all-time in Big East career scoring. Her No. 22 jersey was retired by the Friars last spring.

Lis was a two-time All-Big East First-Team selection as a junior and a senior and earned Big East All-Tourna-ment accolades three times.

In 1990, Lis helped guide the Friars to their first Big East Conference Tournament championship and advance to the NCAA tournament round of 16. In 1991, she helped pro-pel Providence to its highest national ranking (15th) in the Associated Press poll.

Lis played professionally in the American Basketball League for the New England Blizzard.

John Pagliaro: Pagliaro was a high school football star at Derby, leading the Red Raiders to back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1972 and 73.

He rushed for 1,047 yards on 137 carries and scored 26 touchdowns as a senior to help Derby earn the No. 1 ranking in the writers’ Top 10 poll. In his final high school game, he rushed for five touchdowns against Shelton. The 5’10, 190-pound Pagliaro also played defense for a unit that recorded eight shut-outs and surrendered just 25 points in his senior year.

At Yale, he became the first back to rush for more than 1,000 yards in successive sea-sons. He twice was named

the recipient of the Asa Bush-nell Cup, presented to the Ivy League’s most valuable player. He graduate as the ca-reer leader in rushing touch-downs (34), a mark that stood for 30 years, and second to Dick Jauron on the career rushing yardage list (2,476).

In his final game at Yale in 1977, Pagliaro rushed for 172 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs over Har-vard. The win secured Yale’s first outright Ivy League title in 10 years.

Pagliaro was coached by two Gold Key recipients — in high school by Lou DeFilippo and at Yale by Carmen Cozza.

Pagliaro lives in Maryland and works as a media exec-utive. His son John played defensive back at Yale, grad-uating after the 2010 season.

John Kuczo: For more than three-and-a-half de-cades, John Kuczo has been the driving force behind one of the most successful high school athletic conferences in state history.

In fact, the longtime com-missioner of the FCIAC is one of only two individuals associated with the league all 54 years of its existence. Ralph King, a 2008 Gold Key winner and now assistant commissioner, is the other.

Kuczo’s association with the FCIAC began as a 23-year-old coach in 1961, the same year a group of Fairfield County athletic directors, coaches and principals in-cluding his father — legend-ary Stamford High coach and 1958 Gold Key winner Paul Kuczo — formed the first ma-jor conference in the state. He became an FCIAC adminis-trator as secretary-treasurer in 1968. He held that title for 10 years before taking over as commissioner in the fall of 1978.

In 2006, he received the Thomas R. Monahan Honor Award, the Conn. H.S. Coaches Association’s high-est award for professional educators. He was inducted into the National High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2011.

Business

It takes a lot of practice (and willingness) to become a champion of responsible

spending and saving to meet your long-term goals. If you’re a bit out of shape in the finan-cial depart-ment, don’t try to change everything overnight.

Instead, embark on a finan-cial evolution that fosters the kind of behaviors that will improve your financial standing over time. Here are three fundamentals to em-

brace as you evolve to a new financial you in 2015.

1. Be more aware. Pay-ing more attention to your finances can make a big difference when it comes to achieving your long-term financial goals. You may overspend because you don’t have a handle on your bud-get and you’re not exactly sure how much you can af-ford to spend. Move into the new year with renewed fo-cus on your money — where it comes from and where it goes. You may want to try forgoing the use of your credit card and only spend money on things you can afford through your bank ac-

count. Also, make it a habit to review your bank state-ments each month so you can see where your money is going and make adjustments if necessary.

2. Reinforce the good. Don’t underestimate the power of your inner self and how emotions drive your financial behaviors. For ex-ample, you may dread pay-ing bills or saving money because it makes you feel deprived or anxious. Borrow from the field of psychology and use conditioning and re-wards to reinforce behaviors you want to repeat. Start by practicing positive self-talk to help align your heart with

your head. Then sit down to pay bills with your favorite music playing and a favor-ite snack or beverage as re-freshment. Use a notebook to record your successes and mentally thank your-self for completing the task. Over time, you may start to look forward to the posi-tive feelings now associated with keeping your finances in order.

3. Add and subtract. Changing how you behave financially involves sub-tracting behaviors and add-ing others. For every “bad” financial habit you want to eliminate, identify two or more smart financial habits

to take its place. For exam-ple, if your goal is to stop accruing late fees, iden-tify new actions that will help you succeed, such as opening bills immediately to be aware of due dates, programming alerts in your calendar to trigger payments or signing up for automatic payments. Before you know it, late fees will be a thing of the past and you’ll also have a better handle on your up-coming financial obligations.
