BALLOT INSIDE!

March ended with the Board of Education approv-ing the budget cuts made to reduce the school budget to the approved 2.3 percent in-crease. April began with the new budget being sent to the Board of Finance in time for the April 8 town budget meeting.

The budget cuts were made by Kristine Carling, director of business and operations at the North Haven Public Schools and school superin-tendent Robert Cronin. They were approved by the Board of Education at its meet-ing March 31 and sent to the Board of Finance by Carling on April 1.

The schools originally asked for a 6.4 percent in-

North Haven is ready to celebrate Earth Day 2014 with a round of activities including a hike. All of the fun and educational oppor-tunities are aimed at raising awareness of environmen-tal issues. The event, sched-uled for April 5, is sponsored by the North Haven Conservation Commission.

April is the month when Earth Day events spring up in communities around the world. On April 22 (offi-cial Earth Day), over a bil-lion people in 190 countries take action, according to the earthday.org website. This is when people plant trees, clean up their communities, contact their elected offi-cials, and more—all on be-half of the environment.

Saturday, April 5, is North Haven’s Earth Day, with a celebration scheduled at the middle school from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a hike at Peter’s Rock beginning at 2 p.m. on Middletown Avenue. At the summit, participants can expect to see expan-sive views of Long Island Sound, the Quinnipiac River, New Haven Harbor and the surrounding peaks of the Metacomet Ridge.

The event is free, with free refreshments, too. More than 30 local environmen-tal organizations and civic groups will be on hand with displays, providing infor-mative exhibits and demon-strations on composting and recycling, organic gardening and lawn care, environmen-tally friendly products, inva-sive plants, energy efficiency

and renewable energy.Creative art and science

projects by North Haven el-ementary and middle school students also will be on dis-play. A children’s folk singer will perform, there will be a scavenger hunt for children with prizes for the winners and recycling games will be

crease and reduced it to 3.7 percent on Feb. 8. The Board of Finance announced a 2.3 increase on March 17, prompting the schools to make additional cuts. Carling and Cronin scoured the budget taking “a little bit from every line item,” Cronin said, to reach the to-tal of $48,051,239.00 that was

approved by the Board of Finance.

A total of $657,516.00 was deducted from the 3.7 percent budget to reach the 2.3 per-cent level, Carling said.

The biggest cuts were staff-ing, with a grade one teach-ing position at Montowese Elementary School and a teaching position at Ridge Road Elementary eliminated. Art and music teachers cur-rently on one year contracts were not renewed and a re-tirement in the social studies department at the high school will not be filled.

A number of cuts in the ath-letics department were made. Todd Petronio, athletics di-rector announced changes at the Board of Education meet-ing that were made to cut the budget and avoid cutting the rifle and gymnastics team, which was originally planned. New changes include lim-iting the number of scrim-mages before seasons begin to three per team, which saves $5,097.00, and cutting athletic transportation costs by $5,792.00.

The gymnastics team is currently being phased out

over a four year period. The Board of Education decided to phase it out due to small enrollment and because of concern over liability, Cronin said.

An athletics subcommittee will be added to the Board of Education at its April meet-ing. Three members of the board and Petronio will par-ticipate. The subcommittee is essential “because athletics is a large part of the operating budget,” Cronin said.

The schools plan to add a special education teacher and two job coaches for the tran-sitional program for disabled students. Currently five stu-dents who will graduate from high school in June will con-tinue with the work/study el-ement of the program, which will be conducted in town. Without the new hires, the students would be sent out of district, which would cost the town more money.

Anita Anderson, Board of Education chair, commented briefly after the March 31 meeting: “Based on the in-creases we were given, this year’s budget was put to-gether fairly.”

coordinated by the Project Green high school students. There will be free give-aways for children and a face painter.

According to earthday.org, “Like Earth Days of the past, Earth Day 2014 will fo-cus on the unique environ-mental challenges of our time. As the world’s popula-tion migrates to cities, and as the bleak reality of climate change becomes increasingly clear, the need to create sus-tainable communities is more important than ever. Earth Day 2014 will seek to do just

that through its global theme: Green Cities. With smart in-vestments in sustainable technology ... we can trans-form our cities and forge a sustainable future. Nothing is more powerful than the collective action of a billion people.”

Tips on how to maintain a green home and gardenGoing green at home

doesn’t have to turn your life upside down. There are sim-ple measures you can take in your kitchen and garden to run a planet-friendly home.

Reduce WasteEnsure your kitchen is

properly outfitted with la-beled paper and plastic re-cycling bins. Keep these receptacles handy to encour-age your family and guests to make use of them.

Take your waste reduction a step further by setting up a bin for food scraps, which you can add to your yard trimmings.

Composting creates a nat-ural fertilizer that’s makes a planet-friendly alternative to the chemical variety.

By recycling and compost-ing, you can join the ranks of Americans reducing the waste they send to the land-fill. In fact, recycling and composting prevented 86.9 million tons of materials from being disposed in 2011 in the United States, up from 15 mil-lion tons in 1980, according to government estimates.

Protect WildlifeYou may think of your yard

as “yours,” but you are actu-ally sharing the space with furry creatures, insects and birds. Habitat destruction and loss, as well other man-made and natural threats, put beautiful species like hum-ming birds at risk. Make your garden a safe haven with bird feeders and by planting native, sustentative shrubs, trees and flowers.

Unfortunately, bird to building collisions, particu-larly with windows, are es-timated to kill between 100 million and 1 billion birds in the United States alone, ac-cording to a new report from the Cooper Ornithological Society.

Ensure the safety of your airborne visitors by applying static-cling decals to your windows, which helps birds detect glass, thereby avoiding injury or death. Decals from WindowAlert, for example, rely on special ultraviolet-re-flecting coating that looks like etched glass to humans, but is quite visible to birds,

and add a decorative appear-ance to your home.

The coating can fade over time, so remember to re-place decals every six to nine months. More informa-tion can be found at www.WindowAlert.com.

Eat LocalSource your food locally to

reduce your carbon footprint.

If possible, buy local, in-sea-son fruits and vegetables that didn’t have to travel the world to reach your plate.

And while flowers are beautiful to look at -- and the right ones can provide nec-tar for pollinating insects and birds -- consider turning at least part of your garden into a space for herbs and vege-

tables to grow. When dinner comes from your own back yard, it means fresher pro-duce that’s good for your fam-ily, and good for the planet.

Don’t just enjoy nature this season, take care of it. With a few small tweaks, it isn’t hard to run your home more sustainably.

Are You Looking for aNew Way to Get Healthy?

I am a Chiropractor today because my life was turned around by the power of an adjustment. As a young child, I suffered from a myriad of unexplained health issues.My mother did not know where to turn. When I was 6 years old, I began getting adjusted regularly. Immediately, my health improved and I began to thrive like a normal child should. Then in 1990, I fractured my spine during a ski-ing accident. My choice to seek chiropractic care quite literally saved my life. My body was able to heal without risky drugs or surgery. Had I not known about the power of Chiropractic, I may not be here to share my story. Our principle is simple, your body has the power to heal itself; it was de-signed that way. This power flows from your brain to your body over the spinal cord and vast network of nerves. When stresses in our lives cause a shift in the spinal bones, there is interference in that brain to body connection. Over time, this leads to dysfunction, and often sickness, pain and disease.

I want to be your family’sChiropractor.

We have one goal in our office: to remove this interference so that your innate healing power flows and your body works perfectly, the way it was in-tended to. We have created an environment that allows you to get adjusted in an efficient and affordable way. Since 1996, Dr. Dawn Tobin has helped thousands of people regain their health with natural chiropractic care.

If you are frustrated with your current state of health and looking to try something new, please call our office today to schedule a NO-CHARGE CONVERSATION with the doctor. Find out how we can help!

Experience you can

trust!

GOOD KNIGHTS

Ian Stewart, left, and Alexander Porto pretend to be knights in a castle as their pre-kindergarten class at North Haven KinderCare learns about imagination. | (Submitted by Eric Schlauder.)

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jimmy. He loved to watch the weather forecast. One day, he asked his mom and dad, “Can I go visit the weather station?”

His mom said, “OK.”They went to the weather

station. Jimmy talked to Fred, the meteorologist, in the sta-tion and Fred taught him about something called, “the green screen.” Jimmy said, “You

mean, that if you paint yourself green and wear green clothes you will be invisible? That’s cool! I want to be a meteorol-ogist when I grow up.”

“OK,” said his dad, nervously, because Jimmy did not know that he was born green. Jimmy said,” What’s wrong? Why are you acting nervous?”

“Well, Jimmy,” said his mom, “We never wanted to draw at-tention to it, but you were born green.”

“Are you joking?”“No,” they said.“I will prove you’re joking.”Jimmy asked Fred if he could

go on the green screen. “OK,” said Fred.

But when Jimmy went on, he could only see his clothes and shoes. He could not see any of his body. He was very sad.

But then, he realized that he could be a meteorologist even though he is invisible!

He shared his idea to ev-eryone in the room. “Well, we can at least give it a try!” said Jimmy.

Jimmy asked Fred if he could use his meteorology tools, care-fully. “As long as you promise not a scratch!” said Fred.

“OK,” said Jimmy. First, Jimmy got a tool that measured snow. He filled it to the top with snow, then blew a hair dryer on it and made the snow melt. It overflowed and he asked Fred what that meant. “It means that is good packing snow,” said Fred.

“Can I be on TV?” he asked.“Not broadcasting to the

world, but you can within the station.”

“OK,” said Jimmy. He went to the green screen. He said to the TV camera,“Today, we have great packing snow.”

Fred said, “Wow! That was cool. Maybe you CAN be an in-visible meteorologist!”

Editorial

If you reside in, or have family or friends in North Haven, our students need your help. As has been the case for many years, the North Haven education budget is once again threatened with un-derfunding. We are at a point where the damage to the system and impact on our students will no longer allow the educa-tors belonging to the North Haven Edu-cation Association to sit back and just let it happen. The Board of Education, for the first time in years has asked for an in-crease that will allow the district to begin to rebuild what has been slowly eroded over many years. Their 3.7 percent re-quest is a reasonable attempt to stem the decline and begin what will be a long task of rebuilding. Unfortunately, the board of finance has only allocated 2.3 percent. An increase that according to our superinten-dent will not even meet contractual ob-ligations without staffing cuts, and does not take into account any changes to con-tracts, inflation, capital improvements or unforeseen occurrences.

We ask that you and your friends and family living in North Haven, please write, phone or email members of the Board of Finance and Selectmen. Ask them to raise the board of education’s budget allocation and keep their original plan for program-ming, support, resources and staffing in-tact. Our students deserve nothing less.

In addition we ask that all North Ha-ven residents attend the town meeting April 8. We believe that after that meet-ing and learning more about the needs of our students, you will show your support for the original board of education budget request. We would like to see the budget allocation raised to the board of educa-tion’s original request. We believe in the democratic process and are confident that by having the facts North Haven residents will support this request and the needs of our students. In order to more fully elab-orate on the NHEA position I am includ-ing the following excerpt from a recent NHEA press release:

The North Haven Education Associa-tion believes that anything less than full support for the Board of Education re-quested 3.7 percent budget increase will negatively impact our students and North Haven’s education system. We also feel that with the inadequate funding the sys-tem has endured year in and year out, it is imperative that we begin to rebuild the support and resources teachers need to help our students. The Board of Educa-tion has taken the courageous step of re-questing a budget that begins, in a small measured way, to rebuild a system that has consistently been asked to function

with less and less. This action needs to be supported by the PTSA, teachers and residents of North Haven. We believe the First Selectman and the Board of Fi-nance should both provide and support this budget. We feel that the 2.3 percent increase is inadequate.

We ask that the Board of Finance give the residents of North Haven the oppor-tunity to vote on an increase that leaves the original Board of Education plan for programming, support, resources and staffing intact. The NHEA will work with the PTSA, the Board of Education and the Board of Finance to provide the in-formation and background North Haven citizens require. It is our belief that the citizens of North Haven want to provide a solid educational foundation for the town’s children and, after learning about the needs and rationale behind the edu-cation budget, will support it —if we give them the chance. We also believe that the proposal for construction of a new class-room wing and reconditioning of the re-maining areas of the middle school is needed to provide North Haven students a healthy, clean, safe and properly config-ured environment in which to learn. The current building has outlived usefulness and is in need of serious upgrades and re-pair. It can no longer adequately provide for the students’ needs. We understand that tax increases are always unwelcome, but without proper funding:

1. A system that has been established to meet the needs of all of the children of North Haven is in danger of not ade-quately providing for those students next year and beyond.

2. Just as we need to do maintenance on our homes and sometimes recondition and or add on space, the time has come to provide a building that meets the needs of future North Haven middle school students.

We ask that the Board of Finance and residents of North Haven follow the lead of the Board of Education and look at these as investments in North Haven’s future. They will provide a solid founda-tion that can be built on for years to come.

Tom Marak is president of the North Ha-ven Education Association.

Underfunding hurts schoolsBy Tom Marak

Amid concerns about Common Core Standards being implemented in public schools across Connecticut, I am mak-ing an effort to hear the voices of: teachers, par-ents, students and the general public; a key component neglected prior to the law being passed. Common Core is a high-impact nationalization of public education that is, in theory, designed to prepare students in grades K-12 for higher education and the workplace. Currently, 45 states including Connecti-cut have adopted the standards; however, at least 12 states are now considering delaying imple-mentation. This delay stems from a concern the standards are not properly crafted to adequately benefit students, Connecticut be-ing one of those states.

In my opinion, the concerns over Common Core should not be a Republican or Democrat is-sue, but rather an unbiased con-cern in which we ask ourselves if our teachers have the adequate resources to properly adhere to Common Core requirements. The fact that I have received a number of letters from parents expressing their concern with this new system proves that flaws exist with the Common Core. Out of all the parent letters regarding Common Core, there seemed to be an underlying commonality. I found that most of the senti-ments expressed in these letters, were that of confidence and trust towards their children’s Teach-ers. Parents felt that the educa-tion of their children should not be based on standardized tests which remove the creativity that Teachers have in doing their job, especially if it is going to be re-placed with specific guidelines; but not a clear curriculum.

This is not just an issue of worried par-ents, but one that is also shared by Teach-ers; many of which be-lieve that adjustments to Common Core are criti-cal to the success of our education system. The universal concern was that Teachers are being held to strict guidelines;

however, are not given adequate resources to develop a proper curriculum. Another common viewpoint held, is that Common Core is not a completely terrible initiative, however; it is one that needs adjusting. Some solutions to the flaws of Common Core projected by several Teachers included a program that incorpo-rates: more focus on professional development, critical thinking and creativity; rather than stan-dardized testing, currently being implemented in English Lan-guage Arts and Mathematics.

Common Core standards are not a curriculum or test ques-tions, but rather descriptive lists; organized by grade and subject matter. Teachers and school dis-tricts must use the standards to design their own curriculum. Without a doubt, the debate over Common Core has turned into a controversial topic through-out the country and especially in Connecticut. The concerns of parents and educators needs to be heard, the law was passed without asking their opinions. There needs to be a compro-mise reached to fix the flaws and improve our education system. Most importantly, we should be taking the advice of educators and parents rather than making a decision without their input.

Chicago blues To the editor:The North Haven High

School play “Chicago” was not family-friendly. The kids were great, but the plot was sad and offensive.

It was filled with wonderful

singing, acting, dancing and fabulous music. The students were awesome with so much talent and enthusiasm, but I’m concerned we lowered the bar on our school plays.

Letters to the Editor

Anything less than full support for the Board of Education requested 3.7 percent budget increase will negatively impact our students and North Haven’s education system. Rep. Dave

HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut’s health insur-ance marketplace announced Tuesday it has enrolled more than 197,000 people in private and Medicaid plans, a figure that could climb as people with incomplete applica-tions are helped in the com-ing days.

The 197,878 total is nearly double the organization’s original goal of enrolling 100,000 people, beginning in October.

Kevin Counihan, CEO of Access Health CT, said a re-cord 5,917 residents signed up for coverage Monday, the final day of the open enrollment.

Considering the last-min-ute surge in interest , Counihan said Access Health CT staff will reached out to people who may have experi-enced some difficulty in sign-ing up for coverage.

“We will work diligently to follow up with everyone

who left a voicemail yester-day (Monday) or visited one of the in-person enrollment locations to ensure their ap-plication is complete for coverage beginning May 1,” Counihan said.

Access Health CT received 5,365 voicemail messages from customers with ques-tions about their application. The marketplace also col-lected contact information from approximately 5,000 people who visited enroll-ment centers, worked with a broker or provided informa-tion online before the mid-night deadline.

Of the 197,878 enrollees, Access Health CT said 76,597 enrolled with a private in-surance carrier and 121,281 with government-funded Medicaid.

A study is planned this summer to determine how many of those enrollees were previously uninsured.

HARTFORD (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s pro-posed $55-per-person tax refund cleared a key hur-dle Tuesday, passing the General Assembly’s tax-writ-ing committee with mostly

Democratic support.The concept will now be

discussed as part of the fi-nal budget negotiations be-tween legislative leaders and Malloy. They have until May 7 to reach an agreement on a

revised tax and spending plan for the fiscal year that takes effect on July 1.

W h i l e a c k n o w l e d g -ing the refund is modest, the Democratic leaders of the Finance Revenue and

Bonding Committee said the proposed refund program recognizes Connecticut tax-payers have weathered the state’s fiscal difficulties over the years, including paying higher taxes to help cover

budget deficits. Republican members said

constituents have chuckled about the sum, saying the money is better spent paying down state debt or saved in the state’s rainy day fund.

The North Haven High School World Language Department hosted Taste of Cultures in the cafeteria Tuesday evening, offering a variety of international foods prepared by students, teach-ers as well as a cheese profes-sional from Wisconsin.

Tables for individual cul-tures – Asian, French, Italian, Latin and a general interna-tional table were set up with an array of tempting dishes on display and prepared live.

At the French table, Karen Baptie, a French and Spanish teacher, prepared crepes. At the Asian table, Clara Pak, a freshman and Christine Park, a sophomore, offered Korean specialties, including Korean

sweet pancakes and tofu wrap with rice.

The international table fea-tured Russian tea cakes and an Indian chicken masala dish.

Lou Iaboni, the Wisconsin resident from the Grande Cheese Co., prepared fresh mozzarella at the Italian ta-ble, boiling cheese curds be-fore submerging them in cold water and stretching out the cheese. He attended the event because his niece attends NHHS.

Alessandra Brownell, an Italian teacher who oversaw the event, said, “It celebrates cultures with a sampling of foods and listening to music.”

Parents and other visitors who attended paid $5, with proceeds benefiting the Lynn Prisco Scholarship Fund.

Energize Connecticut, i n p a r t n e r s h i p w i t h Connecticut Light & Power and the United Illuminating Company, announced its tenth annual eesmarts con-test for students in grades

K-12. The annual eesmarts Student Contest invites students to showcase their “energy smarts” about en-ergy-saving, renewable energy, and sustainabil-ity through various media forms. Finalists for each grade level will be honored at a special awards cere-

mony on June 5, at the State Capitol in Hartford.

Students in grades K-8 answer grade-level specific prompts in the form of a poster (Grades K-2), nar-rative (Grade 3), news arti-cle (Grade 4), book review (Grade 5), essay (Grade 6), speech (Grade 7), or pub-

lic service announcement (Grade 8). Students in Grades 9-12 compete in the “Power of Change” award category, which asks stu-dents to propose a com-munity-based project to address an energy-related issue. Students may work in groups in this category,

and winners’ schools will receive funding to make their proposed project a re-ality. Grants and prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place. The contest is open to all students in Connecticut. Deadline for entries is May 2. Visit www.eesmarts.com/contest.

Test for radonRadon is a natural element

that results from the decay of uranium. It can enter the home through cracks, crev-ices and holes in the foun-dation or it can dissolve in underground water sources such as wells. Any home can have radon, whether it is old or new. Testing is the only way to identify it. Most homes can be fixed for a rea-sonable cost. Long term ex-posure to radon can increase the risk of lung cancer, par-ticularly in smokers. Tiem is running short to test a home for radon, as testing is best done when the windows are closed. Tests can purchased at most hardware stores. District residents (Bethany, Hamden, North Haven and Woodbridge) who received free kits from Quinnipiack Valley Health District are reminded to test before “open-window” season comes. For information on radon, District residents can call QVHD, 203 248-4528 or request on line, [email protected].

I lived in the Hamptons for seven and a half years. I know a snub when I see one.

Scheduling the Class L girls basketball final involv-ing undefeated and No. 1

Capital Prep for 10 a.m. on Saturday morning? That was a diss, a little back-hand slap to a charter school with an outspoken operator and an outspoken girls basket-ball coach.

And the tip to a larger is-sue, of course.

Look, I have no prob-lem with charter or magnet schools. The private busi-ness model is probably the best educational option for Connecticut’s big cit-ies. Outside of them, public schools are sound. Inside of them, public schools too of-ten fail.

And I have no problem with the CIAC basketball committees. Truly. They run

the best state tournaments in Connecticut high school sports, as this year’s brackets, capped by the weekend finals at Mohegan Sun, proved once again.

But when it comes to dealing with the “schools of choice” issue, I’d really like to see the basketball commit-tees — all of the CIAC, for that matter, in every sport — strip everything down to the common denominator to solve the problem, which is only going to grow as more of these schools continue to sprout.

No more mind-bending math, no more multiplying and dividing enrollments.

Bag, too, the “success in tournament” system adopted for the current year, in which a school of choice was classi-fied based on how many state basketball quarterfinals it had reached in the three previous season. (That’s how Capital Prep, after winning Class S a year ago, got bumped up two divisions to Class L.)

Please, no more digs in the frozen food aisle. Just make like a smart grocer. Put apples with apples, oranges with oranges. Separate the parochials and the charters and the magnets from the

public schools.Schools that draw from a

defined geographic area here, schools that draw beyond geographic boundaries there.

Mind you, this would just be for the CIAC tournaments. Fruit cocktail is fine for the regular season. Conferences are well-established. No need to upset those apple carts, as it were.

Keep the long-standing rivalries. Keep the divisions that conferences have taken pains to devise.

Spare the extra travel and expense that separate “all-choice” conferences would incur (though, it could be argued, the vo-tech schools have long been criss-crossing the state for the sake of play-ing fellow birds of a feather).

This certainly isn’t a knee-jerk proposal, one fed by watching choice schools win championships at the ex-pense of the publics (though I confess delight in watch-ing Fairfield Prep squander big halftime leads in both the Class LL football and basket-ball finals to Southington and Bridgeport Central).

The choice schools are al-ways big players in the post-

season, particularly in basketball, but they haven’t cornered the market yet. Seven of this year’s eight state hoop finals featured a choice school. Three of them — Lauralton Hall, Sacred Heart and Capital Prep — won a title.

Last year, six of the 16 state basketball finalists were choices. Two were crowned. Dating back five years, 41 percent (33 of 80) of the state final-ists were choice and 35 percent (14 of 40) were champions.

Small potatoes for some, a major problem for others. It’s actually not a bad return based on the ratio of choice schools to publics.

For me, it’s an easy fix, with entertainment value to boot. (Hey, more tournament tickets for the CIAC to sell.)

I don’t mean to be flip. The CIAC has a good thing going with basketball. Mohegan Sun Arena is proving a great site for the finals. A pro atmosphere that’s just the right size. A destination that provides some of that “going to states” vibe enjoyed in the larger dominions of the Lower 48.

If you still find exposing young’uns to the beep-ing neon allure of the casino a problem, well, you probably aren’t on Twitter or Instagram. Young people cast their eyes upon far worse every day, for hours a day, but that, my friends, is another issue for another morning.
