By Kyle SwartzThe North Haven Citizen

By capturing the title ofMr. North Haven 2011, NorthHaven High School (NHHS)senior Jamaal Sancho con-tinued a local tradition of ca-maraderie, talent andfundraising which datesback over 20 years.

Crowned by a judging pan-el on April 1, Sancho over-came eight fellow male highschool students to winNHHS’ biannual pageant,which includes a talent por-

tion, group production andquestion-and-answer seg-ment. For his performancepiece, Sancho sang a cappel-la, danced to a Michael Jack-son melody with his youngerbrother Jared and, finally,rapped with friend DamonTolles.

“Jamaal was great,” saidevent emcee and NHHS assis-tant principal Sandra Prene-ta. “They were all great. Itwas a good time as always.All the guys’ acts weregreat.”

North Haven’s 2011 show

was Preneta’s second as host— she took over in 2009 from

A crowd of family, friends, resi-dents, town and state officials, townemployees, department heads andpolice officers filled town hall’s sec-ond floor conference room to witnessThomas McLoughlin’s swearing inof as North Haven’s new police chiefat a Police Commissioners specialmeeting.

McLoughlin, who has served as

deputy chief for five years, and pre-viously held ranks of detective cap-tain, captain, lieutenant and ser-geant, replaces James X. DiCarlo,who retired after 38 years of policedepartment service.

“The changing of the guard is ex-citing — and a new era is begin-ning,” stated police commissionerLarry Lazaroff. “It’s been an honor, apleasure, and a privilege to workwith Chief Jim DiCarlo, and it willbe a continued honor to move for-ward with the progress under Chief

Tom McLoughlin.”Unanimously, McLoughlin was

chosen by North Haven’s PoliceCommission, who met in executivesession with First SelectmanMichael Freda. It was decided thatMcLoughlin was best qualified forthe position. He started as a cadetand held every rank in the depart-ment. He holds a bachelor’s degreein criminal justice and an ExecutiveMaster of Business Administrationfrom the University of New Haven.He also is a graduate of the FBI Na-

tional Academy.“It’s a very special night, because I

have the privilege of swearing inTom McLoughlin, a man who hasdone an outstanding job through his32 years with the department, andhe, along with Jim DiCarlo, got in-volved by getting this departmentupdated with modern equipment,”said Joseph D’Errico, police commis-sion chairman. “Tommy is a cop’s

By Kyle SwartzThe North Haven Citizen

First Selectman MichaelFreda wants residents tovote in favor of NorthHaven’s proposed $84.09 mil-lion budget for fiscal year2011-12.

“I totally endorse thisbudget,” Freda said duringan April 5 public forum. “Ithink it is the right thing todo for North Haven. It is theright thing to move NorthHaven into the future pro-

gressively and successfully.”Held at North Haven High

School’s auditorium, the fo-rum provided financialbreakdowns for attendants.Town side’s proposed budgetis $39.7 million, a $550,000 or1.4 percent increase over thecurrent budget of $39.15 mil-lion. Education’s proposedbudget is $44.39 million, a$439,664 or one percent in-crease over the currentbudget of $43.95 million.

Overall, the proposedblended budget of $84.09 mil-

lion is $987,519 more than thecurrent number of $83.103million, a 1.2 percent jump.Such would equate a tax in-crease of .35 mills, Fredasaid while narrating a Pow-erPoint presentation on-stage, bumping the currentmill rate of 26.18 up to 26.53.

As North Haven’s averagehouse value is $302,648, or$211,854 in assessed value,Freda said the proposed

Outgoing police chief reflects on experiences, local areaBy Robin Watson

Special to the North HavenCitizen

As North Haven welcomesnew Police Chief ThomasMcLoughlin, outgoing ChiefJames DiCarlo had opportu-nity to look back at his up-bringing and 38-year career,which brought him all overthe local area.

Although serving in theneighboring town’s depart-ment since he was 22, DiCar-lo was born and raised inWallingford. His fatherXavier, who died in 1998, wasa second-generation barberwho worked at DiCarlo Bar-ber Shop on North MainStreet for 50 years.

DiCarlo, 60, said his up-bringing in Wallingford gavehim an appreciation of thetown’s rich history and tra-ditions.

“My relatives have alwayslived and worked in Walling-ford,” he said, adding that asecond cousin ran Phil’s

Auto Body on South ColonyRoad.

A graduate of Wallingfordpublic schools, DiCarlo at-tended Simpson, Rock Hilland Lyman Hall. After grad-uating from Lyman Hall in1969, he went on to earn abachelor’s degree from theUniversity of New Haven.

“I grew up in east Walling-ford. I was kind of partial todairy farms. As a highschool student, I got intocriminal justice. I didn’tknow where it was going totake me,” he said.

DiCarlo joined the NorthHaven Police Department in

1973 after working at localfarms since he was 14. Healso got married that year toCarol, a fellow Lyman Hallgraduate.

While his hometown of-fered him a sense of continu-ity, DiCarlo noted the numer-ous technological advancesand cultural shifts duringhis career in the NorthHaven police force.

“There have been a lot ofchanges, all the devices.When I started, there wereno laptops, no cell phones.That’s been a remarkablechange, and especially thetraffic volume. Growing up,everyone had one car. Now,families have two or three

cars,” he said.DiCarlo recalls the daily

trek to and from Lyman Hallas a teenager from his fami-ly’s home on the east side oftown. “We walked to school,which is unheard of today.When there was inclementweather, we sometimes gotrides,” he said.

Roger Cone, a retired offi-cer from the Wallingford Po-lice Department, said he hasknown DiCarlo for morethan 40 years since they bothattended Lyman Hall.

“I consider him my bestfriend. We talk every day,”said Cone, who now works asa safety inspector for thestate police. “He’s a goodguy.”

Bob Beaumont, of theWallingford Historical Soci-ety and a longtime town resi-dent, said he was a loyal cus-tomer of Xavier DiCarlo,called Exey for short.

“He cut my hair for manyyears. I didn’t know what Iwas going to do when hewent out of business,” saidBeaumont, adding that Di-Carlo was his barber forabout 20 years. “He was a re-ally nice fellow.”

According to Beaumont,the barber shop was locatedin the northwest corner ofwhat is now Archie Moore’s.The shop had two chairs andfaced a beauty salon, he said.Merchants near DiCarlo Bar-ber Shop throughout theyears included Brosnan’sfood store, Dickerman Hard-

Locals came together re-cently at a fundraiser calledChrissy’s Cause to lend love,hope and support to Christi-na “Chrissy” Gaffney, NorthHaven High School Class of’89, who has acute myeloidleukemia, and who hastouched so many in a specialway.

“I met Chrissy in thefourth grade at Ridge RoadSchool when she moved toNorth Haven from Indiana,”stated Cathy Cyr, Chrissy’sfriend and co-chair of thefundraiser. “Amy Lindsay, an-other classmate, Chrissy andI became good friends, andwe’ve been friends for thirtyyears.”

“From the first day when Imet her, Chrissy touched myheart in a special way,” sheadded. “After Chrissy gotmarried, she moved back toIndiana and we always keptin touch because once afriend always a friend.”

When she learned that

Chrissy had acute myeloidleukemia, Cyr recalled, shewas devastated. Cyr, alongwith Amy, and Tracy Hart-man Taylor, Chrissy’s goodfriend, and others decided toget together and do some-thing to show their friendthat they cared from milesaway. Taylor started a Face-book page and, within 24hours, over 200 relatives andfriends responded.

“We were so pleased by theresponse on Facebook, butwe wanted to do more, so weput on our thinking caps,combined our talents andreached out to the communi-ty for assistance. We put to-gether a fundraiser that

would be held at NorthHaven High School,” addedCyr. “The benefit took placeon March 26, from 10 a.m. un-til 2 p.m. and there was amagic show, face painting,performance by the JaredAndrew Studio, multiplevendors, children’s carnivalarea, a basketball ‘hoops forhope’ area, beautiful donatedbaskets for 50/50 raffles, ta-bles with delicious dessertsand lunch catered by OliveGarden Restaurant in NorthHaven.”

The high school’s gymna-sium, foyer, hallways andcafeteria were filled with aconstant, large crowd of en-thusiastic individuals who

came to support their friend.Attendance included fami-lies, friends, neighbors,classmates, local businesses,acquaintances, well-wishers,

IrresponsiblespendingTo the editor:

On March 28, Sen. LenFasano and State Represen-tative Dave Yaccarino heldan informational forum atNorth Haven’s Library. Dis-cussed was Governor DannelMalloy’s proposed budget. IfConnecticut continues thespending spree it has beenon for too many years, finan-cial disaster will be unavoid-able. This was clearly illus-trated in the presentation.

As constituents, we cancontact Fasano or Yaccarino.If they can help, they aremore than willing to do so. Itwas clear that both gentle-men are asking us to helpthem help us. As Republi-cans, they are vastly out-numbered in a Democrati-cally-controlled legislaturewith a sitting Democrat gov-ernor. I do not point this outto “bash” Democrats, but tosupport the argument that it

is unhealthy in a free societyfor one party to dominate thepolitical scene and manipu-late votes without strong op-position.

I envision Americans aspassengers on a speedingtrain — a gravy train if youwill — racing down a trackthat ends with broken railsand the bridge is out. No oneon the train has been lookingfar enough ahead to spotproblems. If we do not have aresponsible engineer in thecab of that engine, we allface destruction. Who is ourengineer?

We desperately need sensi-ble, fiscally-responsible,knowledgeable people toserve in public positions. Ifyou cannot volunteer to oc-cupy these positions, willyou call the governor’s officeat (800) 406-1527 or e-mailhim [email protected] andregister your opinion?Fasano assured us that num-bers count, and if we all

speak out, we will be heard.You also have the option ofwriting letters to editors oflocal papers.

Think of the impact thatirresponsible spending willhave on your children’s fu-tures. There are conse-quences to inaction as wellas actions. Please call or e-mail the governor’s office.

As I have indicated in ourBoard of Selectmen meet-ings, we actually have twoprojects going on at theDevine Street site.

In addition to the Yale-New Haven medical centerproject, we are also workingwith another developer tobring medical office build-ings with many medicalservices to complement whatwe are trying to accomplishwith Yale-New Haven.

The overall goal that wehave once these projects arecompleted is to have a fullservice emergency center, aradiology center, a geriatriccenter, a pediatric center,cardiologists, primary careservices, orthopedic servic-es, OBGYN services and on-cology services here inNorth Haven.

Longer term, my goalwould be to have a cancercare center and Alzheimer’scare center here in NorthHaven as a medical destina-tion center.

As we move forward intothe future, I believe that hav-ing these services are very

important for our citizenshere in town. These serviceswill also create jobs, will ex-pand to add new jobs for thefuture and will also act as aneconomic catalyst to help uswith our existing businessesand help attract smartgrowth for the future.

The future is very brighthere in North Haven as wecontinue to stay focusedwith a sustained level ofpositive energy moving for-ward.

An Ounce of PreventionA bright smile

By V. Deborah Culligan,RN, MPH

Perhaps you have no-ticed the multitude of com-mercials and media adver-tisements that focus on the“whiteness” of your teeth.In fact, the message seemsto imply that your successin life’s situations is corre-lated to the whiteness ofyour teeth! It has become anew American obsession.(It almost makes you feellike you should never openyour mouth in public!)

Whitening teeth hasbeen occurring in the den-tal office for many years.Certainly, if you feel moreconfident in yourself, youwill perform better in yourworld. Under dental super-vision, the right productapplied in the right waywith adequate protectionfor soft gum tissues, maygive you a more confidentsmile.

But the big marketingpush right now seems to beon the many home prod-ucts that you can use towhiten teeth. There arealso tooth-whiteningkiosks that are popping upin malls and are generallynot supervised by a den-tist, although the employ-ees may appear to be med-ical personnel as they donwhite coats.

So, how safe are over-the-counter (OTC) teeth

whiteners? While there issafety data about whiten-ers when applied or dis-tributed by a dentist, littleresearch has been done onproducts that are pur-chased OTC and used athome. There are some factsyou should know aboutOTC tooth whiteners.

• OTC products come intwo forms: those that con-tain bleaching agents andthose that do not havebleaching agents

• Bleaching agents re-move deep and surfacestains while non-bleachingproducts remove only sur-face stains

• Non-bleaching prod-ucts use abrasives to re-move stains

• Most OTC bleachingproducts contain hydrogenperoxide or carbamide per-oxide in concentrationsusually less than 10 per-cent. (Dental offices mayuse greater percents ofthese agents)

• Bleaching agents willnot change the color ofbonded teeth or tooth-col-ored fillings in the frontteeth, so beware if youhave these types of re-pairs. You could end upwith spotted white teeth inthe areas of repair that thebleach will not alter

• Bleach does not workon all types of stains ordiscolorations. Yellowishstains bleach the best.Grayish staining does not

respond well to bleach• The most common side

effects from bleachingagents are tooth sensitivityand gum soreness. Theyare usually temporary, butimproper use or using aproduct that is too strongcan result in more seriousdamage to the gums

• Look for products thathave the ADA Seal of Ap-proval. (ADA stands for theAmerican Dental Associa-tion)

The best place to startwith improving your smileis with a dental exam. Youshould do this before ex-perimenting with whiten-ing products. Your dentistcan assess your overalldental health and repairany damage to your teethbefore you try applyingproducts. The dentist canalso advise you on prod-ucts that whiten and teachyou how to protect yourgums.

The ADA also advisesprofessional guidance andparental supervision forchildren and adolescentswhen it comes to whiten-ers in order to minimizeadverse effects. Bleachingproducts do contain chemi-cals that can be harmful tohealth if ingested. Theabrasives may damageteeth if not used correctlyor overused.

budget would represent anaverage tax increase of $70per household in town.“Where’s that money going?To help maintain, and evenenhance, services here inNorth Haven,” he said. “Thisbudget is driven primarily bycapital requests.”

“Without capital requests,this budget would be a 0.1 per-cent increase on the townside,” Freda added. “We orig-inally had $2.7 million in cap-ital requests. We reduced thatto $1.3 million. We need thatto upgrade some things intown.”

Approved capital requestsinclude $80,000 for police de-partment cruisers, $25,000 forroads and drainage and$425,000 for a fire truck to re-place a volunteer departmentvehicle with water pumpproblems. A new sanitationpacker truck and was ap-proved for referendum at$205,000. “We have three sani-tation trucks now,” Fredasaid. “One is beyond repair.We need another truck to in-sert into the trash pick-up cy-cles.”

for greater efficiency in thebuilding department permitprocess,” Freda said. “I be-lieve that this will pay for it-self within two years. It so-phisticates the process. It is agood investment for town.”

During winter, NorthHaven’s salt shed collapsedin stormy conditions, neces-sitating a $70,000 rebuildingproject. Procurement of an$110,000 backhoe was also al-lowed. “We need that for win-ter snow removal,” Fredasaid.

Also accounting for fiscalyear 2011-12 budget increasesis a three percent wage jumpin North Haven’s clericalunion contract, which comesafter two consecutive yearsof zero percent raises.

Partially offsetting costs,Freda stated, are multiplesources of savings. “Thesehave saved us over $1 millionas we move into the next fis-cal year,” he said. Recentrenegotiations of town’sbonding debt, general liabili-ty and worker’s compensa-tion services could saveNorth Haven $353,589 in fis-cal year 2011-12 according toFreda’s slides.

In public comment, resi-dent Julie Bossenberry spokepositively of North Haven’sproposed financing. “I sup-port this budget,” she said. “Iwould like to see it move for-ward. I think the town and ed-ucation budgets are lean. Ac-tually, I’d be in favor of a larg-er budget, especially on theeducation side.”

Resident and former towntreasurer Bill Gambardellaasked whether town deci-sion-makers had consideredNorth Haven’s future in lightof uncertain, incomplete de-velopment of state and feder-al budgets.

“We’re not sure what’s go-ing to happen with the statebudget,” Freda replied. “Wehave to comply with the town

“This is a win-win fortown,” Freda said. “This rep-resents significant savings.”

Charges for student out-placement, which are state-mandated, make up 44 per-cent of education’s increase,according to assistant super-intendent Patricia Brozek.“There are no new positionsin this budget,” she said atthe April 5 meeting. “It con-tains contractual obligationsfor employee salaries andbenefits. This keeps all teach-ers on step.”

assistant superintendent andformer NHHS principal Pa-tricia Brozek, a changing ofthe guard for a celebrationwhich traces its roots back to1985.

“Another school had donea similar pageant, which in-spired our student council tostart it in 1985,” said NHHSLatin teacher and Mr. NorthHaven founding member PatBingham. “At first, it wasbased more on the Miss Uni-verse pageant, with sports-wear, etc. But it evolved into atalent pageant, and has basi-cally stayed about the samesince.”

Through the years, manyindividuals have contributedto Mr. North Haven events —past winners frequently at-tend and even serve as judgefor future shows — but threemainstay producers havebeen Bingham, NHHS Italianinstructor Marylee DiGen-naro and NHHS library me-dia coordinator Elsa Ruoff.

“It’s a wonderful time forthe kids, who can barelyknow each other but willwork together and bond andhave a great time,” Ruoffsaid. “There’s never a prob-lem. There is never someoneupset that they didn’t win.They always work togetherbeautifully.”

“We have fun the wholetime,” she added. “We enjoythe whole pageant. It really isa joy.”

DiGennaro and her co-pro-ducers set contest dates ayear in advance. “We startgetting together in January,”said DiGennaro, who hasbeen onboard since 1997. “Weneed to get a choreographeror two, because the boys dotheir dances together. We in-vite the judges and set thescript. We need to get spon-sors and arrange for tuxes forthe boys.”

Time has brought produc-tion changes. “We used tohave music cassettes lined upin order for the boys,” Bing-ham said. “Before comput-ers, a lot was different.”

Individual acts have var-ied, but have remained cre-ative and amusing, includinga participant who wrestledhimself, reenactments of Through the years, competitors for North Haven High School’s biannual Mr. North Haven pageant have tried

many different acts to earn judges’ votes, including performing Saturday Night Live sketches, cross-dressingand donning a hotdog costume.See Pageant, page 24

fund. This year’s pageant at-tracted a diverse group ofcontestants.

“I thought it would be funto do it,” said freshman en-trant Hamed Houwari. “Also,I know the money is going toa good cause, so why not. Iwanted to get a feel for it, tosee if I wanted to do it againin two years.”

Houwari joined a sopho-more, junior and six seniors.Gabe Scrivani, 2011 competi-tor and NHHS senior, playedguitar in his act. “I’ve beenplaying guitar for four or fiveyears, and any opportunity togain a little bit more experi-ence and have some fun isgood,” Scrivani said.

In 2009, Scrivani was notan entrant but played guitarfor Sancho, then a sopho-more, as he rapped KanyeWest’s “All Fall Down.”

“It’s always a great excite-ment for the people in-volved,” said DiGennaro.“Anybody who comes in asunderclassmen almost al-ways participates in the fu-ture. It’s infectious.”

“It’s something they willalways remember,” sheadded.

After decades of Mr. NorthHaven production, Bingham,DiGennaro and Ruoff arelooking to hand down leader-ship duties. “Somebody elseis going to need to know thewhole workings of it, thewhole proceedings of it,” Di-Gennaro said. “Someone elseneeds to know the ropes.”

DiGennaro said that fu-ture Mr. North Haven pag-eants will be produced inpart by NHHS English teach-ers Melissa Bader andChristopher Moore, as wellas Dan O’Brien, who alreadyoversees technical aspects ofthe show. “The understand-ing is that this will becometheir baby,” DiGennaro said.

Bingham, DiGennaro andRuoff will leave behind a cel-

ebrated North Haven institu-tion. “This has been a greattradition,” Ruoff said. “It isone of town’s lasting tradi-tions. Things come and go,but this has endured since1985.”

“We sort of knew from thefirst night that this was go-ing to go,” Bingham said.“Other people have come inand helped, but Marylee,Elsa and I have really stayedwith it. And now we’re pass-ing the torch.”
