for the proposed budget.34 residents filed absentee

beats last year’s 8 percent, according to Registrar Lau-rie Brangi, but less people actually voted because there were more registered voters last year.

The middle school reno-vation project advanced an-other step May 15 when the Board of Education approved the new education specifica-tions (ed specs) that had been discussed at the May 7 meet-ing, when proposals to add $4.1 million for field improve-ments were discussed.

The decision to add syn-thetic turf to two new fields at the Middle School and South field and resurface the running track at Vana-core Field raises the total price of the renovation proj-ect to $69,814,452, with state reimbursements lowering town expenses. The town will apply to the state for reimbursements.

The Board of Finance meets May 21 and the Board of Selectmen will meet on May 27 to approve the proj-ect before a town meeting is

held on June 3 to present the design specs developed by Perkins Eastman, the archi-tectural firm.

On April 29, the town voted to approve payment of $199,250 to Perkins Eastman for pre-referendum design costs.

On June 17, the town ref-erendum will be held, giving residents the opportunity to approve the project, which will renovate portions of the middle school and build a new two-story classroom wing.

Ever wish you could be a treasure hunter with a secret code-name, tracking down hidden troves? More than two million people worldwide do exactly that by participating in geocaching, a hobby that makes use of a GPS device. Cachers follow coordinates to a cache, where they can sign a logbook using their geocach-ing name.

Over 50 Geocachers have found a cache titled “Quin-nipiac River State Park 1” in North Haven, located in the Quinnipiac River State Park wedged between routes 15 and 5.

A geocacher named Jake-2687 posted that his search for this cache brought back childhood memories when his grandfather “used to drive us all over Hamden and North Haven just to occupy time with us.”

Jake-2687 wistfully re-called neighborhood houses that were abandoned due to

repeated flooding in the area. “It was a sad sight to see a neighborhood get destroyed, but the alternative was get-ting flooded out every year... TFTC and thanks again for

bringing me back,” Jake-2687 wrote.

“TFTC” means “Thanks for the cache” on the geocaching website.

Though cachers sometimes

leave things in the woods for others to find, at other times they remove things from hik-ing trails that have no busi-ness being there.

A geocacher by the name

of “Mr. Echo,” who goes by Randy Wills when he’s not geocaching, recently orga-nized a clean-up of the Berlin Blue Hills Conservation Area to celebrate Earth Day April 27. The event was attended by over a dozen local treasure hunters.

Those who attended the event found some caches and hauled away over two dozen garbage bags full of trash cleaned up from the trails at the Berlin Blue Hills Conser-vation Area. “It was every-thing from wood shingles to about five or seven tires,” Wills said.

Wills said that even though cachers do leave caches in the woods for others to find, many of them “are environ-mentally conscious, espe-cially about littering.”

Cachers in the Central Connecticut area are “a pretty close-knit commu-nity” that regularly holds events, including trips to restaurants, hiking, and even

Treasure hunters hide and seek in North Haven, elsewhere

kayaking, according to Wills. Geocaching.com plays a cen-tral role in the community by providing a hub where users can find nearby caches, or-ganize events, communicate with other cachers, and even post caches of their own.

Lee McFadden, who helped collect garbage, said that she enjoys geocaching “because I’ve learned some really in-teresting things about lo-cal history and seen some amazing sights I never would have if not for caching.” One of these sights was the old Nike Missile Base on Pinna-cle Rock in Plainville on the New England trail. The Nike Missile Base, a relic from the cold war that entered service in 1956, is named for the same Roman goddess of victory as the shoe company.

Although many cachers are hiking enthusiasts, some caches can be found in urban environments as well. Wa-terbury resident Joe Medina, who participated in the earth-day clean up, hunted down a cache at a Costco in Water-

bury May 4. Medina said that he enjoys

geocaching with his son, and that they sometimes partic-ipate with other families as well. One of the best parts about geocaching with kids, according to Medina, is that some of the larger caches, which are generally found on hiking trails, have small toys in them. One of the official rules of geocaching, Medina said, is that if you take an ob-ject from a cache, you must leave one of equal or greater value. Kids really enjoy ex-changing toys with caches, Medina said.

Caching can get even more complex with “puzzle caches,” which require seek-ers to solve a riddle to dis-cover the coordinates of the cache, like the one Wills hid in Southington. Some hard-core cachers even make do with nothing more than a map and a compass when searching for a cache.

Some caches even move using a “travel bug” – a metal keychain resembling a dog tag that contains a unique tracking number used to move and verify the bug’s lo-cation online.

One of these travel bug caches has even traveled to space. Waterbury native and NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio, also known as cacher “AstroRM,” has hid-den a geocache on the inter-national space station in the form of a travel bug – one he hopes will return to earth and be replaced by a new bug placed by another space-trav-elling geocacher. Buffalo Wild Wings in Waterbury will be hosting an event for cachers to watch Mastracchio return from the International Space Station on May 13.

Ron Ruel has hidden a cache himself in the hiking trails at Wadsworth Park in Middlefield.

When hiding a cache “you want to look for a good loca-tion, and to put it somewhere that people are going to en-joy themselves,” Ruel said. Caches have to follow cer-tain guidelines, like being far enough away from railroad tracks, private property, and government buildings.

Caches look like “all kinds of things,” Ruel said, but many of them are Tupper-ware containers, five gallon buckets, or film canisters.

“I’ve seen a fake birdhouse with a cache in it. The possi-bilities are limitless.”

Sometimes caches are mis-taken for trash, although this is very rare, according to Ruel. Geocaches have even been mistaken for bombs by police in states across the country. Geocaching.com encourages users not to hide caches near “sensitive infrastructure” to prevent such misunderstand-ings as the hobby expands. Cachers are also encouraged to use transparent containers

and to clearly label all objects as geocaches. PVC pipes, in particular, may look like pipe bombs to law enforcement officials.

Anyone can start geocach-ing, according to Wills, who said that many people already have the only tool they really need – a GPS device or smart-phone. Geocaching.com fea-tures videos explaining the rules, and how to get started in playing the real-life trea-sure hunting game.

Everyone loves to hug and kiss babies. Along with this exchange of affection, germs will be passed from one to another. Protect infants you care about while pro-tecting yourself against pertussis. Quinnipiack Valley Health District offers the pertussis vaccine (in the form of Tdap-tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, babysitters and other care-givers or contacts of newborns and infants 12 months and younger. Those over age 18 and have never had a Tdap vaccine, (a combined booster immunization containing tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis protection) are eligi-ble to receive the vaccine. A $10 administration fee is re-quested. (No one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay the fee.) Immunization clinics are held every 4-6 weeks. The next clinic is scheduled for Thursday, May 29, 4 to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call QVHD, (203) 248-4528 or visit www.qvhd.org.

Once a month, at the North Haven Memorial Library, a small group of young girls and their parents put tech-nology aside and open a good old fashion book, as part of the library’s Parent/Daugh-ter Book Club.

“Kids are so drawn to the Internet and technology these days, it’s great for them to have a book in their hands,” said member and parent Gary Murphy.

The Parent/Daughter book club has been going strong for nearly four years, attract-ing kids ages 8-12 years olds, along with their moms and dads. The group participates in monthly book discussions, all lead by the kids.

“Kids pick out the book depending on their inter-ests, and while they all have different interests, they do a really good job of choosing stories that are discussion worthy,” said Pat LaTerza, head of Children’s Services

at the North Haven Library, who also serves as the group facilitator.

“I like reading, so it’s been something fun I can do out-side of school,” said sixth grader Anna Wootton.

Each month, a different girl in the group chooses the book and then prepares dis-cussion questions for the next meeting. The girls are free to choose a book that is of inter-est to them or ask the librar-ian for recommendations.

“This has been great for my daughter Caitlin. She was al-ways a good reader, but she is even better now and more in-quisitive,” said Murphy.

“It’s been fun and I hav-

en’t come across a book that I don’t like,” said seventh grader Caitlin Murphy.

The group says the setting is casual and everyone is en-couraged to take part in the discussions. While the club has varied in size throughout the years, there has always been enough interest to keep it going.

“Parents are very support-ive of the program. They put it on their schedules and make

sure they read the books so they can be an active part of the experience,” LaTerza said.

“This was my daugh-ter’s idea to join and we got hooked on it,” said Liz Woot-ton, parent. “I have so little free time that the only books I read now is the kids’ litera-ture, but I really enjoy it.”

In addition to the club, some of the girls also have become involved in other as-pects of the library, such as helping to create the Story Hut used for the “One Town, One Book” event in May.

“This is a really nice group and we’ve enjoyed having them a part of our program,” LaTerza said.

The Parent/Daughter book club meets once a month year round and is open to new members from North Haven and its surrounding towns. For more information, contact the library at (203) 239-5803.

Clothing

April 25-27 at the North Ha-ven location on State Street “was a lot in a three day period,” according to Ken Kuntz, operations manager. “Spring cleaning and fall are our big times of the year and we’re also eager to celebrate Earth Day since delivering used clothes to us reduces the environmental footprint. It’s better than taking used clothes to a dump or putting them in a land fill because they will be reused so it’s en-vironmentally sound.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters also assists other organiza-tions with their own used clothing drives. Quinnipiac University and the Gateway Church Youth Group recently held drives and the North Haven High School girls vol-leyball team plans a drive in September. The girls will col-lect used clothes and deliver them to the State Street loca-tion. They will be paid for the clothes by the pound.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Connecticut is a non-profit agency that pro-vides adult mentors to chil-dren. It recruits, screens and trains caring adults to act as mentors, match them with children, and support them. The premise is that a one-to-one relationship with an adult provides the support a child needs to grow and ma-ture into a responsible adult. No program fees are charged for the agency’s services, it is supported by the United Way, private foundations, and per-sonal and corporate dona-tions from the communities it serves.

Big Brothers Big Sisters partners with Savers stores in Orange and Meriden where the used clothes that are col-lected are sold. Kuntz said the organizations can also use the 277 State Street location for their clothing drives.

Call Big Brothers Big Sis-ters for more information about clothing drives at (877) 399-2570.

SCAM AWARENESS

North Haven Police Department Patrolman Ted Stockman addressed members of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, Chapter 257, at its May meeting. Stockman provided information and advice on avoiding scams and frauds. He discussed security awareness for homes and vehicles, and personal safety. | Submitted by Judy Thomas.

Although it is early in the warm weather season, there have already been two rac-coons testing positive for rabies within the health district, according to the Quinnipiac Valley Health District. One of these animals was very aggressive and bit a person. While rabies can occur in any mammal, it is most commonly seen in skunks, raccoons, and bats. Small animals like field mice or squir-rels rarely, if ever, contract rabies. Because the possibility of rabies in wildlife is very real, you need to be very cautious when en-countering wildlife and managing your pets. Keep the following actions in mind for your family’s protection.

• Avoid contact with wildlife, including cute baby animals.

• If you see wildlife in the daytime, espe-cially if the animal is acting unusually, stay away and call the animal control officer in your town. Generally, wildlife is nocturnal, but at this time of year, when their babies are born, they make forage during daytime hours. Therefore, a wild animal spotted during the day does not necessarily mean the animal is rabid, but you are advised to use caution.

• If you have a bat in the house, call ani-mal control to capture it so it can be tested. This is especially important if you wake up with a bat in the bedroom or if the bat is

found in the sleeping area of a small child or adult who is not able to give reliable information.

• Maintain a barrier between you and wildlife by vaccinating your pet against rabies. (Required by law for both cats and dogs.)

• Spay or neuter your pet to decrease at-traction of stray animals.

• Report ill, stray or unusually-behaving animals to the animal control officer.

• If a pet is in a fight with another animal, wild or domestic and unknown to you, never touch the wound with your bare hands. Use gloves if you need to examine it. The rabies virus is found in saliva and brain tissue of infected animals. Allowing the pet’s fur to dry will further reduce your risk.

• Wash hands with soap and water im-mediately after any contact with a suspect animal or after inspecting a wound on your pet.

• Seek prompt medical attention if you are bitten by a wild animal or a domestic animal unknown to you.

The Quinnipiack Valley Health District provides consultation on human exposures and the town animal control officer deals di-rectly with the animals.

For more information on rabies, call (203) 248-4528 or visit www.qvhd.org.

OpinionVeterans History Project a Library of Congress treasure

It’s easy to spend hours pe-rusing the Library of Congress website at loc.gov. The col-lections of American life are amazing and include audio, video, photograph and docu-ment archives. There are files that range from Look mag-azine to World War II Mili-tary Situation Maps. There’s Stars and Stripes: The Amer-ican Soldiers’ Newspaper of World War I, 1918-1919. There are topics from technology to art, to history to immigration and native peoples.

This Memorial Day, as we take a moment to reflect, we’d like to draw your atten-tion to several selections in the American Memory proj-ect which are available online.

One recent audio presenta-tion is the Sept. 11, 2001 Doc-umentary Project. The library notes that: more than 60 years ago, the American Folk-life Center mounted a similar effort to document national sentiment in 1941 following the attack on Pearl Harbor: Af-ter the Day of Infamy: “Man-on-the-Street” Interviews Following the Attack on Pearl Harbor. (This audio tape also is available online.)

The Sept. 11 documentary “captures the heartfelt reac-tions, eyewitness accounts, and diverse opinions of Amer-icans and others in the months that followed the terrorist at-tacks on the World Trade Cen-ter, the Pentagon, and United Airlines Flight 93. Patriotism

and unity mixed with sadness, anger, and insecurity are com-mon themes expressed in this online presentation of almost 200 audio and video inter-views, 45 graphic items, and 21 written narratives.

The day after the attacks, the American Folklife Center called upon the nation’s folk-lorists and ethnographers to collect, record, and document America’s reaction. A sam-pling of the material collected through this effort was used to create the Sept. 11, 2001, Doc-umentary Project. This col-lection captures the voices of a diverse ethnic, socioeco-nomic, and political cross-sec-tion of America during trying times and serves as a histori-cal and cultural resource for future generations.

The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Cen-ter collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future gener-ations may hear directly from veterans and better under-stand the realities of war. The Project collects first-hand ac-counts of U.S. Veterans from the following wars: World War I (1914-1920); World War II (1939-1946); Korean War (1950-1955); Vietnam War (1961-1975); Persian Gulf War (1990-1995); Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present).

In addition, those U.S. cit-izen civilians who were ac-tively involved in supporting

war efforts (such as war in-dustry workers, USO work-ers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etcetera) are also invited to share their valuable stories. The United States Congress created the Veterans History Project in 2000 and it is an ongoing project. Its mis-sion is to collect, preserve and make accessible the first-hand remembrances of Amer-ica’s war veterans from WWI through the current conflicts, so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the re-alities of war.

The Veterans History Proj-ect of the Library of Congress American Folklife Center is primarily an oral history program that collects and preserves the firsthand inter-views of America’s wartime veterans. VHP relies on vol-unteers, both individuals and organizations, throughout the nation to contribute veterans’ stories to VHP. In addition to audio- and video-recorded in-terviews, VHP accepts mem-

oirs and collections of original photographs, letters, diaries, maps and other historical documents from World War I through current conflicts. Many of our participants choose to interview friends or family members that have served in the military. How-ever, local veterans service or-ganizations, a local or regional Department of Veterans Af-fairs facility, a senior center or a retirement community are good places to locate vet-erans who might be interested in sharing their story.

To learn more email [email protected] or call (888) 371-5848. The library also encourages visits to VHP’s Information Center, which is located in Room LM-109 of the Madi-son Building (101 Indepen-dence Ave, SE, Washington, DC 20540). It is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (EST), Monday through Friday. The Library of Congress is closed on all fed-eral holidays. Please contact VHP prior to your visit to en-sure VHP staff are available (email [email protected] or tele-phone (888) 371-5848).

Currently, the Veterans His-tory Project is highlighting the Aleutian Campaign, the “un-known campaign” of World War II. The following is from a March 18 press release from the VHP:

The history of World War

II is populated with battles and place names that have become legendary: Omaha Beach, Guadalcanal and Oki-nawa. Less familiar are Adak, Attu and Kiska. They are part of the story of the Aleutian Campaign, in which thou-sands of American soldiers fought against Japanese forces that had invaded islands off the coast of Alaska, which was then an American terri-tory. It is these battlegrounds – and the stories of those who served there – that the Veter-ans History Project brings to light in the latest installment of the “Experiencing War” web series, available at www.loc.gov/vets.

Beginning in June 1942 and lasting through July 1943, American forces struggled to take control of Attu and Kiska. Not only did they con-front the Japanese, but they also battled another enemy: the unforgiving climate of the islands. Despite the dramatic environment in which they served, and their success-ful defense of American soil, these soldiers’ stories have largely disappeared from the collective memory of the war. Currently, the Veterans His-tory Project holds more than 500 stories of veterans of the Aleutian Campaign and hopes

Freda on the budget, middle school referendum

On the eve of the 2014-2015 budget referendum May 18, First Selectman Mike Freda sat down with The North Haven Citizen to discuss the impact of the new budget on all segments of town and the upcoming middle school referendum that will take place June 17.

NHC: How will the 2014-15 budget impact town residents?

Freda: The immediate impact will be that there’s no tax increase, the mill rate remains at 28.1 and that’s always something the residents are happy about.

NHC: Beyond that does it impact town services in any way?

Freda: On the town side no services are being cut and all the town ser-vices are in place as they have been.

NHC: How is it going to impact schools? Of course, that’s a topic to talk about with Superintendent Cronin.

Freda: That’s something the Board of Ed has to decide. That budget on the Board of Ed side — they have total latitude on how to spend the money. They can spend it in terms of any-where they feel the needs are. That

remains to be seen until the Board of Ed finalizes how they’re going to spend money that we’re allocating for them which includes a $1,081,000 increase in the budget next year versus this year and they have the authority on how to spend the money.

NHC: How will the bud-get impact police and fire operations?

Freda: There will be no changes. Police, fire, public safety all remains the same. On the town side we had a list of capital items that are in need of upgrading but we decided to hold off right how in an effort to hold the line on spend-ing. In many cases there is a differ-ence between we may need and what we can afford, that’s why on the town side we’re holding off on some capi-tal purchases we probably need to up-grade what we have but we can’t quite afford it right now.

NHC: The fact you can’t do the upgrades — does this impact Public Works in any way?

Freda: No, Public Works will still be moving forward with the same level of services and in the event like say a truck breaks down like say an

emergency vehicle we’ll have to act accordingly. We can’t predict it’s going to happen. We try to identify capital im-provements but this year we made the decision we’re go-ing to hold off on purchases and if something happens we’ll address it and deal with it.

NHC: So based on that how do you think the passage of this year’s budget compares with past year’s budgets?

Freda: Anytime there’s a no tax in-crease we have seen a lower turnout. I’m hoping the residents do turn out, we put signs across town based on recommendations of the other se-lectmen but normally what happens with no tax increase there’s a lower level of turnout.

NHC: But the past few months ev-erything has been leading up to the referendum vote, how do you think that differed from previous budgets with the robo call program?

Freda: I think it may be different than previous budgets because this was probably one of the few times we were asked to increase taxes to add more to the budget. That was an unusual dynamic this year and that’s

why we did the robo call to gauge the public opinion on that. So that was the difference between this budget as we were shaping it up to present to the public and previous years.

NHC: You talked about no tax in-crease, but what else can residents appreciate about the 2014-15 budget?

Freda: On the town side, no tax in-crease and no reduction in services. I hope the residents appreciate that on the town side. And in the end, many other cities and towns are rais-ing taxes and cutting services. We’re not raising taxes and on the town side we’re not cutting any services at all.

NHC: Now that the budget ref-erendum is completed you have to look forward to next month’s middle school referendum. What are you go-ing to be doing from now to then to prepare for that?

Freda: The first thing we’ll be doing is a public meeting on June 3 and the building committee will present the final stages of this project. We’re sup-porting it, we have to have it and we need to maintain the certification of the middle school. This plan not only represents a way for us to renovate to new the existing school but also to

do some other things to sup-port the growth of athletics. I’m hoping the residents will agree to vote for the renovate to new Middle School.

NHC: The meeting on June 3, Perkins Eastman won’t have the final design plan ready yet because they have to wait until the project has been approved.

Freda: Yes that’s right. The referendum will be to request a bond authorization for a certain amount of money. That bond authorization is an aggregate number that is not reflective of what the town’s net cost is going to be.

NHC: Based on state reimbursement.

Freda: Yes, the town cost will be significantly less than the bond authorization for the aggregate amount. For this form of government you have to get a bond authori-zation for the full amount not including the reimburse-ment then after you get the reimbursement it helps mit-igate the cost of the full bond authorization. So in effect because there’s a reimburse-ment you never spend what the bond authorization is be-cause we’re getting money back.

NHC: When is the dead-line for f iling for state reimbursement?

Freda: The end of June.NHC: The vote is June 17

and you’ll have about two weeks after that.

Freda: Right if we don’t get the request in by the end of June we’ll have to wait an-other year. The reimburse-ment is significant, it could range anywhere from 25 to 38 percent and that’s a sig-nificant amount of money to offset the aggregate bond au-thorization so it’s important that we get the request in by the end of June.

to add many more to the col-lection in order to best tell the story of World War II’s “un-known campaign.”

With this feature, VHP high-lights the stories of a handful of veterans who took part in the Aleutian Campaign. They include Dean Galles, who sus-tained bayonet injuries during hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, and Clifton Da-

vis, who describes the unique blizzards known as “willow-aws” that were common in the Aleutians. Also featured are the stories of Seabee Earl Long, who discovered a love of reading while on the long journey to the Aleutians, and Howard Bernstein, a pilot who flew bombing missions out of Attu Island.

The Town of North Haven has be-gun work for the interim revaluation of all real estate in the town, as man-dated by Connecticut State Statutes. An interim revaluation does not in-clude a physical inspection of ev-ery property, however there will be inspections of properties that have had building permits issued.

The revaluation will be an exam-ination of the market conditions as of Oct. 1, 2014 and adjust the values based on the current conditions. It will be effective for the Grand List

of Oct. 1, 2014. Tax bills with the new values will be mailed out for July 1, 2015.

The Town of North Haven has contracted Vision Government Solutions to assist the Assessor’s Of-fice with this task. This process will be ongoing through most of 2014. In the coming months, data collectors from Vision will visit properties that have had building permits issued for their property.

Data collectors have been hired, trained, and will be supervised by

Vision. The data collector will carry an official photo identification badge and will be registered with the As-sessor’s Office and Police Depart-ment. The Town urges its residents not to allow anyone to enter their home without proper ID.

Data collectors may ask permis-sion to inspect the interior of the res-idence. They will verify the exterior measurements of each building on a property and may ask questions. If applicable, they will ask for veri-fication of recent sales information.

The data collectors will not be able to answer questions regarding value, assessments or taxes. Residents will be asked to sign the data collection form to verify that a data collector visited the property. If no one is at home, the data collector may mea-sure the exterior of the buildings on the property.

For more information or to make an appointment for an inspection, call the Assessor’s office at (203) 239-5321.

As the beaver population in Connecticut continues to increase, some homeown-ers are seeing firsthand the impressive changes in local geography America’s largest rodent is capable of causing.

Beavers can also cause headaches for municipalities by flooding roads or block-ing culverts — the drainage tubes that run underneath roads. Continual prob-lems sometimes necessitate protective fences to pre-vent beavers from continu-ing to interfere with proper drainage.

In North Haven, Director of Public Works Lynn Sa-dosky said that in her time in North Haven, there have never been any beaver prob-lems — “at least none that have ever been brought to

my attention.”Further north, however,

Durham animal control of-ficer John Miller said that

beavers occasionally block culverts on Higganum road. “They dam a little too high and the town has to open it

up,” Miller said. If left un-checked, culvert blockage can cause flooding.

“Apart from that beavers haven’t caused any signif-icant trouble [in Durham] that I know of,” Miller said.

Berlin’s Animal Control Officer Jan Lund said that there are “occasional calls here and there” about bea-vers in Berlin. If the call concerns a sick beaver, An-imal Control takes the ani-mal to a veterinarian. If they are building dams or felling trees in a way that causes property destruction, callers are referred to DEEP.

“Beaver/human conflicts have been increasing in re-cent years,” according to DEEP, due to humans moving into wildlife habitat as well as the recovery of the beaver population. Beavers were extirpated in Connecticut in the mid 1800s. (This means

there was a local extinction — the animal ceases to ex-ist in the chosen geographic area of study, though it still exists.) However, since rein-troduction efforts that began in 1914, the population has recovered to the point where regulated trapping has been allowed since 1961.

DEEP receives hundreds of complaints about beavers annually. Beavers are nor-mally docile, but may slap the water with their tails to warn people and other ani-mals away from getting too close to their lodge.

“In many circumstances, people experience relatively insignificant beaver dam-age,” DEEP says, “tolerating their activity is part of co-ex-isting with wildlife.”

However, DEEP also notes that beavers may cause prob-lems, including millions of dollars of property dam-age from flooding and fall-ing trees nationwide. For property owners with bea-vers on their property, there may also be concerns about increasing mosquito pop-ulations because of the in-crease in stagnant water, or a temporary but unpleasant smell of rotten eggs caused by flood-related decomposi-tion. Giardia, a micro-organ-ism that thrives in stagnant water and causes intestinal infections in humans and other animals, may also be a concern.

When property owners want to remove beavers from their property, DEEP refers them to volunteers like Jules Perrault, of Wallingford. “We have about 120 volunteers in the area,” Perrault said. “We have a special permit from the state to trap beavers in the off-season.”

Trappers like Perrault ben-efit from the fur, which can be valued at anywhere be-tween $18 and $28. Beavers are also prized by many for their succulent meat.

The value of the fur can help cover the cost of traps and equipment, but Perrault said that he and the other volunteers do it “out of love for the sport, 100 percent.”

Perrault said he finds the

The North Haven High School baseball team is in danger of missing out on the state tournament for only the second time since 2000.

After a 2-0 start this spring, the young Indian club managed just four more wins in its next 15 games, and those victories came against two of the SCC’s weakest teams in Wilbur Cross and Foran. North Haven bested each of those teams twice.

There is a silver lining in those other 11 games, however, as seven of the losses were by three runs or less, and three games went to extra innings.

Clearly, this is a young Indian team still learn-ing how to win. Just two of the team’s starters saw varsity action before this season, and no pitchers had done so.

Despite the struggles, the young North Haven players have gained valuable experience, which should serve the team well in the future.

Coming into last week’s game against East Ha-ven, North Haven found itself in the odd position of attempting to prevent the Yellow Jackets from winning the SCC Oronoque Division, a banner the Indians have become used to competing for.

Heading into the matchup, the East Haven squad, led by UConn-bound star Nick Lamberti and a cast of complimentary seniors, owned a record of 9-6. With a win over the Indians, the Yellow Jackets would capture the division flag.

North Haven started quickly in the first inning, stringing together four hits and a walk to score a pair of runs. RBI singles by Dominic Fusco and Mi-chael Kurk gave the Indians their early 2-0 lead.

But the advantage did not last. East Haven stormed back, scoring seven runs in the bottom of the first aided by miscues in the field. The Yellow Jackets knocked North Haven starter Jeffrey Cun-ningham from the game with two away in the open-ing frame. He was replaced by sophomore Trevor MacDonnell.

With a 7-2 lead to work with, East Haven pitcher Tom Marcarelli settled into a groove and prevented the Indians from scoring over the next five innings.

On the flip side, MacDonnell put up zeros until East Haven catcher Bryon Kucharski connected on a long home run to make it an 8-2 game in the fifth.

MacDonell would see North Haven through the rest of the way. He allowed just one run in 5 1/3 in-nings of work.

Marcarelli ultimately ran out of gas and the Indi-ans jumped all over him in the seventh. Following a short fly-out to lead off the inning, North Haven played station to station baseball and the lineup batted around. RBI singles by Chris Brockett and Nick Proto cut the deficit to 8-4 as the bases re-mained loaded. Fusco followed with an RBI hit, as did Rich DePalma to cut the lead down to 8-6.

With the bases still packed, East Haven pulled Marcarelli in favor of Lamberti, who got out of the jam unscathed, striking out a pair.

The loss dropped the Indians to 6-10 on the sea-son. The locals must win two of their final four games to qualify for the postseason.

Comeback stalls, but tourney still within reach

NHHS football team to be honored

The 29th annual Franciscan Life Center Sports Banquet and Silent Auction banquet on June 10 features UConn head basketball coach as the keynote speaker and pays special trib-ute to the North Haven High School football team. The team is involved in community service projects each year.

The team is recognized for its an-nual Spring Brawl football game that raises money and donates it to char-ities. Last year it raised more than $13,000 and donated it to the family of Matthew Jacques, a 6-year-old who attended Montowese School and died due to complications from a heart transplant. This year the team will do-nate proceeds from the game to the family of Anthony Longley, a 7-year-old suffering from a rare form of brain cancer. The game will take place June 13 at Vanacore Field at 6 p.m.

“Seniors plan the event as a charity

fundraiser,” Coach Anthony Sagnella said. “People attend the event and pay for tickets or make a donation to the event to raise money. Seniors coach the game, cheerleaders and band members volunteer and parents do the cookout.”

Sagnella lauds the seniors for their important charitable work. “They play hard on the field, but what they do off the field is more important. The se-niors give 100 percent and put their minds to work helping the community. There are 16 seniors on the team this year and they all took an active role in fundraising. It brought them together and when you give you get a lot more in return.”

Sagnella and athletic director Todd Petronio will attend the Franciscan Life Center sports banquet at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville on June 10, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

For reservations or more informa-tion about the sports banquet go to fl-center.org or call (203) 237-8084.

School hockey support-ers remember the tragic death of Craig Hillo in an auto accident on Oc-tober, 2003, a year af-ter he graduated and a year before the team he played for won the state championship.

The annual alumni game is now played in his honor and his family has started a scholarship program that grants money to graduating hockey players. The family has awarded $55,000 to 73 graduates thus far and plans to award nine more scholarships this year. “We give every hockey player, boys and girls, a scholarship,” said Craig’s father Chip Hillo.

its 10th annual Craig M. Hillo Memorial Schol-arship Fund dinner from 1 to 6 p.m. at the Best Western hotel on Washington Avenue.

The family expects as many as 300 guests at this year’s dinner, which includes a buffet, a raf-fle and the awarding of the 2014 scholarships.

Craig played on the varsity hockey team for four years. “Craig was a

core defenseman, a good teammate and a friend,” said former hockey coach Mike Violano, who coached Craig. “He’s sorely missed.”

The scholarship fund dinner is open to the public. There is a fee for tickets. No charge for children 10 and under. Call the Hillos for tickets at (203) 234-2782.

Beavers

task very rewarding, that’s why he and other volunteers help trap beavers year-round. The fur is far less valuable outside of the trapping sea-son in the fall and winter.

Timely removal of bea-vers can prevent headaches for landowners, and in some cases may even save small farming operations that

would be threatened by flooding.

Alternatives to trapping, like water level control de-vices, can cost as much as $1,000. “That can be lot of money to a local farmer,” Perrault said.

There are no known effec-tive beaver repellents, and harassment is rarely effective in getting them to abandon a site, according to DEEP.

Library Briefs

Library receives grant

The North Haven Memo-rial Library’s “One Town, One Book Month” celebrating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” has been made pos-sible in part by a grant from the Connecticut Humanities.

CTH is a non-profit affili-ate of the National Endow-ment for the Humanities that funds, creates, and collabo-rates on hundreds of cultural programs across Connecti-cut each year. The programs bring together people of all ages and backgrounds to express, share, and explore

ideas in thoughtful and pro-ductive ways. Funding from CTH has been used to pro-vide programs throughout this month.

A family program, “Fizzy Lifting Drinks” scheduled for Saturday, May 31, 3 p.m., is one of these programs. Keith Michael Johnson plans to teach “Bubbleology”, the art and science of soap bubbles.

An adult book discussion is scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, 7 p.m., at the library. “The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake” by Aimee Bender is the featured book.

For more information, call (203) 239-5803.

Tickets are on sale now and you’ll benefit wounded warriors so make plans to attend the benefit concert at North Haven High School on May 30.

The North Haven High Wind Ensemble will perform at the 7 p.m. concert that is being sponsored by First Priority, a bible group at the high school. Mike Proto, a special education teacher at the high school got the idea from a benefit concert held at Marist College that supported the Wounded Warriors project. “Our goal is to make it an annual event to raise money for wounded warriors, men and women who served the country and came back with physical and emotional wounds,” he said. “The event builds patriotism in our community and ex-presses appreciation for the veterans and the sacrifices they made so we can live in the greatest country in the world. We owe it to our veterans who sacrifice and some-times give their life.”

Tickets will be available at the door. Concert goers can also make additional contributions and raffles will be held for products donated by local businesses.
