The North Haven

CCititizizeennFasano proud to defend

34th District seatDefense drives lax

Vote this TuesdayLet your voice count — vote in the North Haven town-wide referendum

on Tuesday, May 22.Up for consideration is the proposed 2012-13 town budget of $85.1 mil-

lion, a financial plan which will not increase taxes.Moreover, in the suggested budget, education spending will rise 3 per-

cent in North Haven, while the town-side budget represents a 1-percent de-crease. Overall, the $85.1 million figure is a 1.1-percent increase over thecurrent budget.

Taxes won’t go up if voters approve this plan, however, because munic-ipal leaders used surplus funds generated in past fiscal years to balancethe budget. Thus, North Haven’s mill rate of 26.54 will remain the same ifresidents vote in favor on May 22.

Polling places are the four elementary schools — Montowese, RidgeRoad, Green Acres and Clintonville — plus the Recreational Center. Pollsare open on May 22 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Without a debate, Republican dele-gates from the 34th state Senate dis-trict — which includes North Haven— swiftly endorsed incumbent stateSen. Len Fasano Monday night inEast Haven.

“It says something when year afteryear he continues to be re-elected . . .it shows that Lenny is well respectedamongst the people that he serves,”

said John Winkle, an East Haven res-ident and longtime friend of Fasano,while nominating the senator atJoseph Melillo Middle School in EastHaven.

Fasano, who lives in North Havenwith his wife and three children, hasbeen a state senator since 2003, repre-senting Wallingford, East Haven andpart of North Haven. Because of re-cent redistricting, the 34th will in-

In a sport known for high-speedoffense, North Haven High Schoolboys’ varsity lacrosse is winningwith rigid defense.

“Coming into the year, I knewthat we would be short on offense.The bulk of our strength definite-ly is on defense,” said head coachBill Altman. “That’s where all ourseniors are. There’s a natural pro-gression with their abilities andleadership all being on defense.Early on, we thought that if wecould keep other teams undereight goals a game, we could com-pete with anyone.”

NHHS’ defensive prowess wason display against Shelton lastweek, in a rematch of the seasonopener, which the Indians haddropped 6-4 against the Gaels.This time around, NHHS nabbedthe victory, 5-3.

The strong Indians defense,coupled with the field of longgrass, slowed Shelton and heldthem to only 16 shots on goal. Se-nior Indian goalie Chris DeFoncesaved most of those, while JimmyFredericks (2), Colin Uyeki, Quin-cy Pecora and Ethan Suraci allscored for North Haven.

“A first game is a first game —this time around, our kids’ confi-dence levels were a lot higher,”Altman said.

Unlike the season opener, lastweek’s rematch was in NorthHaven, and on the Indians’ grassfield, a benefit to North Haven’sstyle of play. “Shelton normallyplays on a turf field, and so they

Friends and a sound financial planBy Kyle Swartz

The North Haven Citizen

One primary ingredient infully fixing America’s un-steady economy is upstartbusinesses, private ventureswhich grow from humble be-ginnings into companies ca-pable of creating numerousnew jobs.

Just ask North HavenHigh School graduates andtown natives John Casertaand Alex Casella, young fi-nancial advisors working to-gether in today’s changingfiscal world. Their continu-ing friendship and profes-sional association is indica-tive of a basic economictruth. You can’t always pre-dict the future, but you cancultivate good personalhabits, which allow you tomake the most out of suddenopportunities, and react asbest possible to misfortune.

“Our families go back toour grandparents growingup in Italy, in the sametown,” Casella said of hisprofessional associate.“About eight to 10 years ago

we ran into each other at anItalian organization. Thatturned into a friendship,which turned into a businessrelationship. Our businessrelationship allows us toleverage one another andcollaborate.”

Casella has four years ofprofessional financial expe-rience under his belt, whileCaserta has seven. They de-scribed their vocation as pro-viding customers a betterunderstanding of their fi-nancial realities, not unlikea physician elucidating a pa-tient’s health.

“I equate it as going to adoctor,” Caserta said. “Youshould go to your doctorevery year for a checkup. Adoctor is going to ask you alot of things about yourself— your background, history— so that they can get a bet-ter picture.”

“We take the same ap-proach to finances,” headded. “We talk to peopleabout their background, ex-periences, where they are inlife, what they’d like to ac-complish. Because all of that

goes into their overall finan-cial health. We work with in-dividuals and businesses tohelp with strategies toachieve whatever finicalgoals they are looking toachieve.”

For some people thesemonetary objectives are re-tirement, for others estateplanning, or going to college.Frequently, such goals aremany and varied — all themore reason to seek a profes-sional’s advice, according tothe North Haven colleagues.

“Any decision you make inone area of your financialplan is going to affect all oth-er parts of your plan,” Caser-ta said. “What repayment op-tion you choose for yourmortgage is going to have adirect impact on your cashflow, taxes, how much youpay in interest. Decisionshave to be made on themacro economic level.”

Young professionals them-selves, Caserta and Casellarecommend the services offinancial planners even forrecent graduates just joiningthe workforce.

John Caserta (right) and Alex Casella (left) are NorthHaven High School graduates, financial advisors andbusiness associates.

“One thing that a lot ofpeople underestimate isstarting to make good deci-sions early,” Caserta said. “Alot of people feel that theyneed to achieve a certain lev-el of financial success beforethey can work with a finan-cial advisor.”

“But for young people, it’snot so much about what sav-ings you have, but making ahabit of making contribu-tions into savings,” he con-

tinued. “Some people feelthat in order to save, youhave to put away thousandsof dollars. No. It’s all aboutplanning with what you ac-tually have. Early on, youneed habits that are respon-sible. And then when youmove up to better jobs andget more money, you can con-tinue those good habits thatyou have already developed.”

Two representatives fromRelay for Life recently metwith the North Haven RotaryClub. Shannon Murnanefrom the American CancerSociety, and North Havenresident Mathew Buono, asenior at Quinnipiac Univer-sity who is a tri-chairman ofthe upcoming local versionof a walk founded nearly 30years ago to fight cancer,showed Rotarians a briefvideo explaining the historyof Relay for Life. Today, the24-hour fundraiser is thelargest non-profit event inthe world, with 5,200 suchwalks sponsored in the USannually and over 1000 heldin other countries aroundthe world. An informativeand touching account wasshared by Ms. Murnane, whotold her personal story as acancer survivor and why sheis involved in the Relay forLife. The 10-year survivor ofcervical cancer was diag-

nosed while in college andinitially tried to hide the can-cer from her family andfriends. Finally, upon confid-ing in her sorority sisters,the sorority sponsored ateam named in her honor towalk in a Relay. To this day,the sorority continues to par-ticipate in the yearly event,and last year raised $35,000in her name. Moreover, al-though she had been toldthat it would be unlikely thatshe would ever bear a child,she beamed as she an-nounced that she is expect-ing twins. The guests ex-plained that the ACS pro-vides low cost screening testsand the society is instrumen-tal in major research and de-velopment into finding acure for various types of can-cer, providing over $59 mil-lion to 31 institutions in NewEngland in 2011. Now in itsthird year of participation,the service club’s team

clude about half of Durhamafter the election. He is cur-rently the Senate MinorityLeader Pro Tempore.

The 54-year-old attorneywill likely be up against De-mocrat and former NorthHaven State Rep. SteveFontana in November.Fontana’s convention is onMonday, May 21, at 7 p.m. atGouveia Vineyards inWallingford.

In his acceptance speech,Fasano came out strongagainst Democratic Gov. Dan-nel P. Malloy and the Democ-ratic majority in the state leg-islature, saying it is un-healthy for government tohave “a one-party system.”The system, he said, has al-lowed unfettered spendingand taxing — with more taxesfor residents than ever beforeon items like over-the-count-er drugs, and clothing andshoes under $50.

“We’ve passed $1.3 billionin new taxes . . . and spent an-other $285 million,” Fasanosaid. “The state is addicted tospending and we need to stopit now.”

The legislature passed aplan to close a $285 millionhole in the current statebudget earlier in the monthand add another $143 millionto the 2012-13 budget that waspassed in 2011, accordingtoCTMirror.com.

Fasano also attacked theMalloy administration’spush to get the Jackson Labo-ratory research center intothe state.

“We spend $300 million tobring Jackson Labs — whichis going to bring 300 jobs.That’s a million per job,”Fasano said.

At one point in his speech,Fasano choked up talkingabout the history of his roleand what it means to him.

See Fasano, next page


“Every day I go up thereand I vote, I remember who Irepresent. To think that thechair I sit in will be there . . .long after me,” Fasano said.

One Durham delegate,Lisa Davenport, was amongthe 26 at the convention. Dav-enport ran unsuccessfully in2010 against state Sen. Ed-ward Meyer when her part oftown was in the 12th district.

“I’m thrilled beyond beliefthat he is going to be my sen-ator,” Davenport said. “I amtouched when he gets chokedup about the role — takes itthat seriously.”

State Republican Chair-man Jerry Labriola, ofWallingford, spoke before thenominations.

“We are the envy of manySenate districts — you showthat in the way you fund yourcandidate. Many struggle toqualify. In the 34th District,we get it done in one night,”Labriola said.

East Haven delegate LoriJaffe said she supportedFasano because she likedhow he responded to theneeds of dozens of familiesliving on the shoreline of thetown on Cosey Beach Avenuewhose homes were destroyedor damaged by TropicalStorm Irene last August.

“He’s very responsive, justwhat you want in a represen-tative,” Jaffe said. “He’ll takea call, come out.”

In an interview after theconvention, Fasano said thatthis year he’d worked on twopieces of legislation with leg-islators on both sides of theaisle and state commission-ers regarding storm re-sponse.

“Those are things that be-cause of my district I wasvery sensitive to . . . I’m veryproud of those,” Fasano said.

CCititizizeenn

At our perilTo the editor:Opponents successfully

encouraged people to attendthe zoning meeting to allowgreater density, moderatelypriced, energy efficient newhousing in town. It’s sad buttrue — opposition is alwaysvocal and it’s easier tomount a negative campaignthan a positive one. Many ofthe opposition actually livein the Cloudland and SugarHill area, former farmlandand developments that wereequally as contentious at thetime. Now that they arehere and/or their familiesare grown and no longerneed the schools, the doorsmust slam shut.

I contend that what is re-ally at the heart of argu-ment is reverse ageism. Theargument that this is a bur-den on our schools — whichis not borne out by fact andcurrent data — was heard

repeatedly. I believe thatmany simply do not wantyoung families that produceschool-aged children whogrow up to school-agedteenagers in the town. This“burdening of our schools”argument propelled manytowns all over the state topromote and allow 55-and-older communities. We arenow experiencing ramifica-tions of discouraging newhousing for the young. Manyseniors that flocked to thesetypes of homes with thepromise of not having to livein communities with chil-dren or teenagers are find-ing themselves in a terriblereal-estate market. This real-ization is causing many tolift, or attempt to lift, thoseself-imposed restrictions.States, including Connecti-cut, are offering towns fi-nancial incentives to pro-vide affordable housing inan effort to keep youth athome.

I sympathize with theirdifficulty and resistance tochange. However, as a moth-er of young-adult children, Iam passionate about theneed for this type of oppor-tunity. We as a town need tobe proactive and respond tothe needs and demands ofour youth and their currenteconomic realities. We ig-nore it at our own peril.

Behind the timesTo the editor:The proposed amendment

Fixing schoolsBy Chris Powell

With his education re-form, Governor Malloy canclaim victory on the biggestpoints in contention.

His education commis-sioner is authorized to takeover as many as 25 failinglocal schools, creating the“commissioner’s network.”While the commissionerwon’t be allowed to abro-gate teacher union con-tracts in these schools, hisproposals to change con-tracts will go to an arbiterwho “shall give the highestpriority to the educationalinterests of the state . . . assuch interests relate to thechildren.”

That is, for once the pub-lic interest will be superiorto the union interest.

The standard for dis-missing teachers will beeased, reduced from utterincompetence to mere inef-fectiveness. Annual ratherthan just occasional evalua-tions of teachers and prin-cipals will be required. Stu-dent performance will be afactor in teacher-tenure de-cisions.

Altogether, this has beena brave attempt by the gov-ernor to accomplish publicadministration, heroic forhis taking personal respon-sibility for failing schools.To transform those schools,the state Education Depart-ment will experiment withmodels and practices thathave had success with themost disadvantaged stu-dents and neighborhoods.

Not everything may work,but the extra attentionalone will help.

So will the thousand newstate-funded pre-kinder-garten seats provided bythe bill for disadvantagedchildren throughout thestate and the requirementfor schools to report onreading proficiency in theearliest grades, a key pre-dictor of trouble. But thelegislation has beenmarred by the haste of thecompromise that put it to-gether and the clumsinessof its presentation.

Announcing his agree-ment with the legislativeleaders two weeks ago, andapparently excited to haveachieved as much as he didin negotiations, the gover-nor remarked that the billabout to be sent to the Gen-eral Assembly might con-tain some mistakes but hehad been assured by theSenate president and Housespeaker that the legislaturecould be recalled to fixthem in accordance withtheir understanding. Anhour later the Senate ap-proved the bill and sent it tothe House without evenhaving read it through.

Details here and therewill call the legislation intoquestion as well. For exam-ple, only $7.5 million is ap-propriated for the “commis-sioner’s network,” and di-viding that amount equallyover 25 schools would allotonly $300,000 per school. Of

costs of houses that Mr.Mario DiGioia intends tobuild are between $250,000and $300,000, making themmore affordable and practi-cal than older homes.

Opponents mistakenly ar-gued that people are leavingConnecticut solely due to jobloss. However, most youngprofessionals are opting tolive elsewhere due to livingcosts. North Haven shouldfeel compelled to retain thisadmirable population. Mr.DiGioia’s awareness and at-tempt to prevent the exodusof future leaders of thistown are innovative.

The opposition also ar-gued that these homes willattract a “ghetto-like” popu-lation. This ludicrous state-ment is embarrassing. Un-like years ago, banks arestrict and uncompromising

when it comes to givingsomeone a mortgage. It isreasonable to agree thatthose obtaining a $300,000mortgage will be trustwor-thy, hard-working individu-als — a population thatshould be sought by NorthHaven.

At the public hearing, At-torney Pellegrino clearly ex-plained that North Havencurrently has four percentof “affordable housing,”while the state mandates 10percent. While it is not theintention to construct an Af-fordable Housing Opportu-nity Zone, DonMar will haveno other option if their orig-inal proposal is denied. Theopposition and zoning boardmembers may not considereither option appealing, butit is a decision they willhave to confront nonethe-less. Being reluctant toagree to Mr. DiGioia’s pro-posal due to the inability to

reason and have foresightwill inevitably lead to a less-desirable development. Thisdecision should be a no-brainer for the zoningboard, who should contem-plate this situation whilekeeping in mind the best in-terest of the town and citi-zens.

Gabriel GambardellaNorth Haven

It’s not overTo the editor:First, I would like to say a

big “thank you” to everyonewho emailed, wrote a letterand/or attended the NorthHaven Planning and Zoningmeeting on Monday, May 7.Your presence was definite-ly noticed by the commis-sion. You made a difference.But, it’s not over!

Please mark your calen-dar and come to the nextPlanning and Zoning meet-ing on Monday, June 4 at 7

p.m., at which time the dis-cussion will continue aboutadding the zoning amend-ments. It is extremely im-portant for the public to at-tend this meeting as well.Let us unite again to protectthe integrity of the R-40zone. North Haven’s futuredepends on it.

Second, the only reasonwhy I do research and speakout about issues is because Icare about the people andthe town of North Haven.Therefore, it was difficult tobe on the receiving end ofnasty glares and vicious ver-bal attacks from the opposi-tion. But, I understand thatthat is the price often paidwhen someone stands up forwhat is right and gets in theway of developers’ profits.

Third, I’d like to make aclarification. Under the pro-posed HOZ zone, the maxi-mum number of units per-mitted in one condo com-

mon interest community onan R-40 zoned parcel orparcels would be 75 units.The maximum number ofunits permitted in the wholeTown of North Haven underHOZ would be 150 units.Therefore, “Endless oppor-tunities for developers toprofit by building unlimitednumbers of common inter-est condo communities”refers to the proposed AHOZzone.

Please come to the NorthHaven Planning and Zoningmeeting on Monday, June 4at 7 p.m. either in the li-brary’s community room orin the recreation center’sgymnasium.

I thank you for your sup-port!

An Ounce of Prevention

Flu on the riseBy V. Deborah Culligan

You might wonder why there is a col-umn on flu when it is the month of May.You are correct to question why this topicat this time — doesn’t flu information usu-ally appear in the fall?

Generally, that is the cycle: flu preven-tion information and the promotion of flushots in the fall; flu illness over the fall andwinter months; a disappearance of the in-fection from spring through summer. Butthis year, things are not following the typi-cal pattern. There were very few cases offlu during the fall and winter months.

But since the middle of March, many flucases (and institutional outbreaks) are be-ing reported, even in those who were im-munized, both in Connecticut andthroughout the United States. In some cas-es, influenza has been followed by pneumo-nia.

There are several important actions youcan take to help prevent getting and/orspreading the flu.

— Use respiratory etiquette. Cover yournose and mouth when you cough andsneeze with a tissue. (If a tissue is unavail-able, at least try to cough into your sleeve.)Dispose of used tissues in a trash can.

— Wash your hands frequently andproperly with soap and water, especiallyafter you cough or sneeze. This is one ofthe most-important actions you can take toprevent the spread of illnesses in yourself

and others. Alcohol-based hand cleanersare also effective for removing germs (butnot dirt.)

— Avoid touching your eyes, nose andmouth. Germs spread this way.

— If you are sick with flu-like illness(defined as a fever of 100 degrees or higherand a cough or sore throat) stay home forat least 24 hours after your fever is gonewithout the use of a fever-reducing medi-cine. The rest of the office or your child’sschool does not want your germs.

— When you are sick, stay home (exceptto seek medical care or other necessities)and limit contact with others. This willhelp to prevent the spread of infection. Inaddition, try to avoid persons who are ill ifyou can.

— If you did not get a flu shot this sea-son, it is not too late. Check with yourhealth care provider to see if they have anyflu shots left. Some area pharmacies dohave flu shots left.

If you have a medical condition or if aviral illness that doesn’t show signs of im-provement within a few days, it is a good

Social securityBy Kyle Swartz

Insolvency for Social Secu-rity is fast approaching.Swift and substantial adjust-ments are required to re-vamp the valuable program.

A recent government re-port stated that trust fundswhich support Social Securi-ty will empty by 2033 — threeyears earlier than previouslyanticipated. Causing fiscalbreakdown are three chieffactors — Baby Boomers re-tiring in bunches, generaleconomic turbulence andpoliticians’ unwillingness toface difficult choices inmending the program. Ac-cording to an AP new story,over 56 million retirees, dis-abled workers, spouses andchildren receive money fromthis federal aid program, av-eraging approximately $1,150each month per person. If re-serve funds become exhaust-ed, regularly collected SocialSecurity taxes could onlyprovide partial benefits,about 75 percent of standardpayments.

While left-leaning politi-cians warrant criticism forapparent reluctance to beginessential overhauls to Social

Security, those of conserva-tive inclination are too eagerto cut excessively. A balancebetween program reductionand preservation is vital.

Social Security is time-proven to work. Originallyenacted in 1935 as part ofFDR’s New Deal to counter-act financial and social dete-rioration wrought by theGreat Depression, the pro-gram has sustained itself forover seven decades. But, ifleft as is, finances will runout for the many citizenswho depend on governmentassistance — an unaccept-able abandonment of respon-sibility by this, our first-world country.

There are dissenters whowould eradicate the entiresystem, or cripple it severelywith austere cutbacks.

Perhaps objectors — eventhose who through tirelesswork attained personalwealth despite beginningwith nothing — may haveforgotten, or have neverknown, what it’s like to bot-tom out. Social Security, ifapplied properly, is not someimprudent subsidizer of the

My life stinks. I am a fish,specifically a Betta withdark and light blue fins,gills and mouth. I have anorange tinted tail!

Let’s face it. The onlyplace I will ever be is in thistank. People are so luckyand should be really grate-ful.

Every day for them is anadventure. They don’t knowwhat life is going to throw atthem. I don’t like how kidsthese days have nice and de-cent yards with several toysto play with and all they dois stay inside and play videogames. It is as if they wereallergic to nature. They allhave imaginations. Why notuse them?

Another thing! Everyoneis always safe. It is as if theyare living life in a bubble –like me.

They don’t know all the

fun experiences they areskipping – like climbingtrees, riding bikes and play-ing with their friends! Iwish I would be able tostretch my fins some day. IfI could stretch my fins, Iwould play all day.

So just do me a favor andgo outside as often as youcan because some day youcould end up like me andnot have the option any-more.

Behind a tough defense,North Haven offensive play-ers rapidly staked their teamto a 3-0 lead in the first peri-od. “That set the tone. Thatreally was the difference inthe game,” Altman said.“That gave us a boost andtook a little wind out of theirsales.”

Still, Shelton battled backin the second to close within3-2 going into halftime. “Weweren’t too apprehensiveabout that,” Altman said.“We talked with the kidsabout how, in lacrosse, teamscan score quickly.”

“We maintained our fo-cus,” he added. “We made de-fensive adjustments to slowthem down even further.”

It worked. North Havendominated the second half,holding Shelton to a singlegoal, while Indian attackersnotched a score in the thirdand fourth periods for a finalscore of 5-3.

“We had a good feeling thewhole day,” Altman said. “Wefelt like we were competingand prevailing all game.”

State Representative Dave Yaccarino (R-87, North Haven) recently voted againstraising the state’s minimum wage.

“With the economy, and small business-es across our state, still struggling to staycompetitive, I believe it’s the wrong time toput another mandate on how they oper-ate,” Yaccarino said. “We should be doingeverything we can to help these small busi-nesses remain competitive so they can suc-ceed and ultimately hire more workers, notforce them to spend money they don’t havejust to stay open.”

In 2011, more than 12,000 Connecticutbusinesses closed their doors, according toinformation from the Secretary of State’sWebsite. During testimony on the floor ofthe House, Yaccarino referenced his ownbusiness, a comic book shop in NorthHaven, and said this past year was one ofthe most difficult he’s ever experienced.

“As a small-business owner, I am facedwith constantly changing energy and ma-terial costs — the only cost I can control isthe cost of labor,” Yaccarino said. “In thepast 20 years, I have employed up-to 10 fulland part-time employees, but in the pastthree years I have been forced to reducestaff due to a weakening economy and in-creased cost demands. Like all businesses Ihave to stick to a tight budget in order to re-main competitive. I can speak from experi-ence; this law will have a detrimental effectand will force many businesses to reduce

staff.”Yaccarino also argued that raising the

minimum wage reduces the availability ofentry-level jobs which provide on-the-jobtraining and experience. He also suggestedthat a higher minimum wage would saw offthe bottom rung of many workers’ careerladders.

“When the economy is healthy, we cancome back to this,” Rep. Yaccarino said.“We are coming out of the worst economictimes since the great depression, and thisincrease will disproportionately impactthe employment of our high school and re-turning college students looking for afterschool and summer jobs.”

As an alternative way to provide relieffor already overburdened taxpayers, Yac-carino proposed repealing the taxes onclothing and shoes that cost less than $50and on non-prescription drugs.

“Most employers would love to pay morethan the minimum wage, but market forcesdictate what a reasonable wage for a specif-ic job truly is,” Yaccarino said. “In mybusiness, I have been fortunate to be able toalways pay more than the mandatory mini-mum, but I was able to do that becausebusiness was good. Forcing businesses tospend more than they have coming in is arecipe for disaster.”

Rotary and wellnessTo announce their “new era Chiropractic office,” two doctors of chiropractic medicine

recently visited with the North Haven Rotary Club. Candice Pollack, D.C., M.S. andMaxwell Mitchell, D.C., both of Advanced Physical Medicine, emphasized that they are“more than ‘back’ doctors.” The speakers pointed out that they treat more than sports in-juries. In addition to treating back pain, orthotics and discomfort related to carpel tun-nel injuries, they also deal with numerous issues pertaining to nutrition. In fact, they in-dicated that they plan to have a nutritionist on staff soon. With a focus on “performancebased care,” the business even provides education at no cost, including lecturing at vari-ous community functions, as well as making themselves available to address civic or-ganizations. With a preference for natural remedies over conventional medicines, their“tip of the week” is featured in the North Haven Citizen.

Officials to movequickly on educationoverhaul

State unveils 2-year, $27 milliontourism campaign

HARTFORD (AP) - Con-necticut officials plan to be-gin work immediately onsome key provisions in thenew education overhaul leg-islation that was signed intolaw last Tuesday, including aproposal to start introducingthe first of 1,000 early child-hood education slots in low-income communities.

State Education Commis-sioner Stefan Pryor said hisagency also plans to beginidentifying which strugglingschool districts will becomepart of the new so-calledCommissioner’s Network, aprogram that allows the stateto intervene and attempt toimprove student perform-ance. While education offi-cials have until 2014 to selectup to 25 schools, Pryor said a“small number” will be cho-sen by September.

“We now have a number ofnew tools in our tool box. Weneed to begin sorting out thattool box and beginning therepair process,” Pryor said.“Many of our schools are ingood shape and just need atune-up. Some of our schoolsneed a bigger fix.”

Democratic Gov. Dannel P.Malloy appeared at a packedceremony at the state Capitol

on Tuesday where he signedthe wide-ranging overhaulbill, crediting Democrats andRepublicans with coming to-gether to come up with acompromise bill that at-tempts to close one of thewidest achievement gaps be-tween rich and poor studentsin the nation.

“We are finally addressingwhat I truly believe is the civ-il rights issue of our life-time,” said Malloy, who firstproposed revamping thestate’s public school system,focusing on everything fromimproving teacher trainingand evaluation systems toproviding more state finan-cial assistance to schoolchoice programs.

While work is beginningimmediately to implementcertain parts of the new law,Malloy warned that changewill not happen overnight.

“It will take some numberof months and years for us toaccomplish what we must ul-timately accomplish,” hesaid.

Associated Press contentprovided through the Record-Journal, Meriden.

HARTFORD (AP) - Connecticut is us-ing a new marketing strategy to boosttourism that draws attention to the state’srole in the Revolutionary War.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy unveiled last Mon-day a “Still Revolutionary” Connecticutbrand, part of a two-year, $27 million statemarketing initiative. The ads will run onTV to take advantage of “sweeps week”when programs reach for top ratings andon radio, print and digital platforms.

Malloy said in an interview that Con-necticut’s history is worth telling and thatthe marketing campaign is well thought-out.

“I think its history throughout is worthyof note,” he said. “It tests well, people areresponding to it.”

The campaign also highlights Connecti-cut’s early role in the Industrial Revolu-tion when Hartford’s Colt factory madeguns, Igor Sikorsky’s helicopter that tookflight in Stratford in 1939 and Eli Whit-ney’s invention of the cotton gin near NewHaven, beginning a new phase in modernmass production.

Malloy even cited Connecticut’s role inthe sexual revolution, with the U.S.Supreme Court’s landmark 1965 rulingstriking down a state law banning encour-agement of the use of birth control and es-tablishing a new right to marital privacy.

Malloy began his push for Connecticuttourism last year when he made moneyavailable so the state could pay $100,000 in

dues and renew its membership with Dis-cover New England. The regional tourismgroup left Connecticut off a website mapafter the state slashed its tourism market-ing budget and failed to pay the dues.

“When I became governor, Connecticuthad been thrown out of New England,” hesaid. The stakes are high as U.S. statescompete fiercely for tourist dollars. As oflast year, Connecticut tourism generatedabout $11.5 billion in spending, $1.2 billionin state and local tax revenue and em-ployed about 111,000 workers.

Neighboring New York is among thestates Connecticut faces as a strong com-petitor. Its “I Love NY” marketing cam-paign that began in the 1970s is one of themost successful state efforts ever, and wasto some extent used as a model for Con-necticut , said Economic DevelopmentCommissioner Catherine Smith. “The gov-ernor held it out to us as a goal,” she said.

Economic development officialslaunched an initiative in February askingresidents to define what sets the stateapart. Connecticut is the only one of theoriginal 13 colonies branding itself withthe Revolutionary War, state officials said.

“Only 13 states can claim history as adifferentiator,” said Kip Bergstrom,deputy economic development commis-sioner. “We’re one of them.”

Hole in the Wall gang lives onAlthough Paul Newman, the motion picture star behind a

foodstuff empire (Newman’s Own) passed away several yearsago, the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a charitable organiza-tion, in Connecticut lives on. Because of a financial donationfrom the North Haven Rotary Club, Michael Hund, who is anAssistant Director for Team Hole in the Wall, recently ex-pressed his gratitude to the service club. Hund explained thatthe Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford was the first ofseveral camps established around the world by Paul New-man. The program caters to children who suffer from cancerand other serious illnesses. However, the audience was sur-prised to learn that less-than-two-percent of the camp’s oper-ating budget comes from Newman’s Own. “Mr. Newman’smission was to pass the torch,” according to Hund, who ex-plained that $10 million must be raised annually through var-ious activities, including bike rides, road races and commu-nity events of all types. He closed with a quote from PaulNewman who said, “The world would be a much better placeif we were all like the farmer, and put back into the soil whatwe take out.”

listless, but a life preserverfor the disadvantaged.

Social Security helps mil-lions of Americans who,though no fault of their own,find themselves in impossiblecircumstances. This safety netensures that people do not fallthrough the societal cracks.Worthy beneficiaries includeimpoverished senior citizens,individuals whose spouse diesprematurely or those who can-not land jobs due to bodily in-juries or other health issues.

Only shared sacrifice and

political compromise will al-low major modifications cru-cial for continuing Social Se-curity in an updated, solventform. For instance, employeeand employer payments intothe program could increase,incrementally and modestlyover time. Or, up the eligibilityage again for partial or fullbenefits. Cracking down fur-ther on fraudulent claims —for example, people who dis-honestly file as disabled —would also conserve dwin-dling dollars.

Whether alterations comesoon or not, the program’s un-sustainable costs compound-ed with enormous numbers of

recipients eventually willforce change. Social Securityis fixable in an appropriatemanner, but only if federalleaders deal with applicableproblems directly. We urge leg-islators on both political sidesto drop ideological differencesand seek middle ground onpossible amendments — doingso would be for the enduringbetterment of the great major-ity of Americans.

course Connecticut shouldhave learned years ago that,in general, school spendinghas little correlation withlearning. But transformingthe worst schools will requiremore staff attention for stu-dents and more time for them

in school, and that meansmoney. The governor expectsadditional appropriations sothat a million dollars mightbe spent to transform eachschool in the “commission-er’s network,” but state gov-ernment’s worsening budgetdeficit puts this in doubt.

Indeed, the legislation is ap-palling for its sheer bulk,

caused by its hundreds of de-tails. The bill is 185 pages;even its summary is 45. Mostof this bulk describes currentand future constraints on thepublic administration the billis meant to advance. Whenteachers recently complainedthat a fair evaluation systemis impossible because schooladministrators are and will al-

ways be evil-intentioned id-iots, they inadvertently madethe case for vouchers. Thebill’s mind-numbing lengthdoes the same.

The need of so many stu-dents for remediation must beaddressed, and this legisla-tion is a start. But the shameof state government’s ap-proach to education, as to somuch else, is that it is all justremediation, not an attack onthe cause of the problem. Re-sentful of implications thatthey are responsible for the

poor performance of disad-vantaged students, teacherslately have noted that thecause of failing schools is fail-ing parents that is, the greatunmentionable, child-bearingoutside marriage underwrit-ten by the welfare system. Un-til that is addressed, remedia-tion will never catch up.
