The 14th annual North Haven High School “Sharing withSeniors” breakfast provided the outgoing class an opportuni-ty to thank and learn from the town’s senior citizens.

Sponsored by the NHHS senior class, the Dec. 8 event treat-ed the town’s senior citizens to breakfast, music, prizes, andthe eager ears of the college-bound students. The senior citi-zens filled the NHHS cafeteria, which was decorated for theholidays, and shared the tables with the high school seniors

“It’s nice to socialize with the senior citizens,” said NHHSsenior Samantha Santore of the event. “It’s about getting in-volved in the town. I’m glad I got to help out.”

Dignitaries attended to show their thanks to the senior cit-izens. The school brass ensemble and chorus provided enter-

The shift in Town Hallleadership has momentar-ily stalled the case ofRobert Burns versus thetown of North Haven.

Town attorney DickParrett, assigned to thecase by former First Se-lectman Janet McCarty,successfully filed for a mo-tion for extension on Nov.11. Parrett said his wishfor extra time was prompt-ed by McCarty’s defeat inthe Nov. 3 municipal elec-tions. He has until Dec. 28to move forward with thecase.

Burns’ town engineer-two position was eliminat-ed with the passing of thetown budget on March 18by the Board of Finance,which also voted againstrestoring the position onApril 15. Burns’ petition

for a special town meetingto vote on the reinstalla-tion of his position was de-nied by the Board of Se-lectman on May 4, eventhough it contained signa-tures of 20 town residentsqualified to vote. McCartyand selectman SteveFontana voted againstBurns, while selectmanMichael Freda was in fa-vor of recognizing the pe-tition.

In response, Burns’s at-torney Chip Walsh of Li-cari, Walsh, and Sklaver,New Haven, filed for a writof mandamus to requestthat a higher court over-rule the May 4 decision.Parrett’s attempt to quashthe application for man-damus was denied by NewHaven judge RobertBerdon on Sept. 30, push-ing the case toward a trial.

Meanwhile, Freda was

“The school resource offi-cer is there as a police figure,but he’s also somebody thatthe students can trust andapproach,” said North HavenPolice Chief James Dicarlo.

North Haven began theprogram in 1992 when the po-sition was becoming com-monplace across the country.“Now it’s very popular afterColumbine and what not,”said North Haven police offi-cer and former school re-source officer Bobby DePal-ma.

Dressed in police garb andarmed with an officer’s gear,Falcon commands a pres-ence in the high school hall-ways. Through the years, thedepartment has experiment-ed with dressing the positionin street clothes, finally set-tling upon full uniform.

“I think the position bene-fits from full uniform be-cause of the presence,” Di-Carlo said. “Visitors walkinto the school and they see apolice officer. Students getmore accustomed to talkingto a police officer. They beginto see him as an everydayperson that they can trustand have a relationshipwith.”

Forming relationshipswith the students is para-mount to the position, ac-cording to DePalma.

“If you didn’t have that re-lationship, then the kidswould never come to youwith any information,” De-Palma said. “But because ofthat relationship, you get alot of information. The kids

know everything beforeeverybody else.”

Such information, tips onthefts, drugs, underagedrinking, fights or evenwhich students are more atrisk of making poor deci-sions because of family andpersonal problems, allowsFalcon to communicate withstudents and offer better lifechoices.

“The school resource offi-cer solves problems beforethey become major prob-lems,” DiCarlo said.

Falcon, the ninth NorthHaven school resource offi-cer, took the position in 2007,

having joined the town’sforce in 2003 out of the Uni-versity of Connecticut. “Be-ing a police officer is some-thing I wanted to do for thebetter part of what I can re-member,” he said.

After working patrol forfour years, Falcon expressedinterest in the school posi-tion when it became vacant.“I wanted to do somethingdifferent,” he said. “It’s sodynamic. On Thursday, I’mgiving a speech to GreenAcres Elementary Schoolkids about stranger danger. I

Resource officer enjoys his proactive role


School resource officer Matt Falcon and North HavenHigh School principal Dr. Russell Dallai worktogether with other school officials to maintainstudent safety.

By Kyle SwartzThe North Haven Citizen

As the North Haven policedepartment’s school re-source officer, Matt Falcon ischarged with upholding thesafety of the town’s publicschools. He walks schoolhallways in full uniform -however, he is not an en-forcer.

“I am here more to helpkids make positive choicesthen to get arrests,” Falconsaid. “I work with students,guidance, teachers, school

administrators and schoolpsychologists. We’re one bigthink-tank with one commongoal, and that’s a safe envi-ronment.”

Falcon is part of NorthHaven’s improved publicschool safety system, whichincludes locked entrancesand increased security cam-eras. He spends most of histime in the high school,where the student popula-tion is older and more nu-merous. His presence is in-tended as an asset to the stu-dents.

elected to replace McCartyas First Selectman on Nov. 3,while Fontana was retainedon the Board of Selectmen,which now features a Repub-lican majority. The politicaltransfer necessitated thatParrett take time to considerthe changes.

The motion for extensionalso comes after a month ofmaneuvering for both sides.

Following Berdon’s Sept.30 ruling that the case war-ranted a court hearing, Par-rett filed an answer and spe-cial defense on Oct. 30, out-lining five specific defensesagainst the assertions ofWalsh. Parrett’s defenses ar-gued that Burns’ claimsagainst North Haven arebarred by the North HavenTown Charter and Connecti-cut General Statutes, thatBurns lacks the legal rightto prompt the Board of Se-lectmen to warn the meet-ing, that restoring the engi-neer-two position to thebudget cannot be done with-

out Board of Finance ap-proval, and that Burns failedto exhaust alternative griev-ance procedures through thetown’s union.

“I still feel that the wholecase will be thrown out,”Parrett said when reachedfor comment.

On Nov. 10, Walsh filed amotion to strike four of thefive special defenses, target-ing all but the grievance de-fense. In the motion, Walshclaims that besides the griev-ance defense, the special de-fenses “have previously beenruled upon by Judge RobertI. Berdon, and are barred bythe law of the case doctrine.”

In his ruling, Berdonwrote that the ConnecticutGeneral Statutes mandateBoards of Selectmen to warnspecial town meetings if apetition is filed with at least20 signatures from town citi-zens qualified to vote. Thejudge also ruled that the ap-pointment of the engineer-two position was a legiti-mate and proper reason towarn a special town meet-ing.

Additionally, Berdonruled on the grievance argu-

ment, writing that whileBurns could have filed aunion grievance, “it is insuf-ficient reason to summarilygrant this motion to quashwithout a full hearing onthis writ of mandamus.”

Burns is currently in theprocess of filing a grievancethrough the town union. “It’sproceeding along on its nor-mal course,” Walsh said ofthe grievance, “but I am nothandling it.”

Parrett still believes thatthe application for man-damus will be thrown out be-cause Burns has yet to com-plete the grievance filing.“You have to exhaust all ad-ditional remedies before

court,” Parrett said. “That’svery clear.”

Walsh does not believethat the grievance will pose athreat to Burns’ court case.“In my opinion, it’s not im-portant at all,” Walsh said ofthe grievance.

The court will rule on themotion to strike after it re-ceives Parrett’s response. Ifthe court continues to find infavor of scheduling a courtdate for Burns, the case willcontinue to a trial by judgewith witnesses, Parrett said.

By Paul ColellaThe North Haven Citizen

War is a symphony of de-struction orchestrated byfew and paid for my many.World War II began in Eu-rope on Sept. 1, 1939, whenHitler invaded Poland. TheUnited States entered thewar after the bombing ofPearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.The world was at war from1939 until the defeat of Ger-many and Japan in 1945.More than 54 million people,including servicemen andcivilians, lost their lives, asdid six million Jews and oth-

er minorities who were sys-tematically murdered byHitler and the Nazis. It hasbeen more than 65 yearssince the war ended, and to-day, there are men andwomen who still rememberwhat life was like duringthose years of darkness, de-struction and uncertainty.

North Haven residentPhilomena Gambardella,along with many Ameri-cans, did her part to helpwith the war effort. Philom-ena also did a special thingto help bring hope andfriendship to those servingoverseas. This is her story.

“I remember being at theHotel Grand in New Havenon Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941 at-tending a Communionluncheon when we heard thenews of the attack on PearlHarbor,” recalled Philome-na. “Upon hearing the terri-ble news, everyone left thehotel in silence and sadness.We didn’t even finish ourmeal.”

During her junior andsenior years in high school,Philomena wrote for theschool newspaper and had acolumn called “Around theGlobe with G.I. Joe.” Shewrote letters to servicemen

fighting in the war. She be-lieved that her correspon-dence gave the men, whowere fighting in lands farfrom home, some comfort inletting them know thatsomeone cared about them.

“I wrote to many service-men in the Navy, Army, AirForce and Marines. They allwanted to receive mail,”said Philomena. “The lettersmade the men happy and Ienjoyed the correspon-dence.”

While glancing through aspecial scrapbook that isfilled with letters, photo-graphs and cards from peo-

ple she corresponded withduring the war years,Philomena is reminded ofhow much she really en-joyed being pen pals with somany people she didn’tknow. Writing letters gaveher and her correspondentsthe opportunity to keep intouch while keeping hopealive. The letters were com-pany for lonely soldiers.

Philomena explained thatall mail was censored andenvelopes were reused be-cause paper was in shortsupply. V-mail wasprocessed through micro-film equipment, producing aminiature photographicnegative of the message,and then forwarded for re-production and delivery. V-mail letters were sent free ofpostage by members of theArmed Forces.

“We didn’t have e-mail,cell phones, televisions, andit was difficult to getthrough by telephone,” re-called Philomena, “so let-ters and post cards were theonly way of communica-tion. Kind words written onpaper kept hope and friend-ship alive during a very badtime.”

Since she was in charge ofthe column for the schoolnewspaper, Philomena’s as-signment was to keep herreaders informed of whatwas going on with the menoverseas while providing afriendly communicationamong those at home, andfor those away from homefighting for the cause offreedom, democracy and hu-manity. Many of Philome-na’s letters, post cards, pic-tures and prayer cards arefrom various countries, in-cluding Japan, Italy, Ger-many, France, Sweden, Fin-land, China, Switzerland,England, Ireland, Greece,Egypt, Palestine, Iraq,Cyprus, the Southwest andthe Philippines.

“I learned about new cul-tures and new places frompeople around the worldthrough correspondence,”Philomena said. “Some ofthem survived the war andreturned home safely to

“My cousin Lt. Paul Moni-co was killed when a Japan-ese ship carrying him andfellow prisoners of war wassunk by a submarine’s tor-pedo,” said Philomena withtears in her eyes. “Also, myfriend and neighbor Pfc. An-thony DeSena was killed inaction during the invasionof Normandy in 1944. I loveand admire them, and allthose brave souls who gavetheir lives for the sake offreedom.

Philomena also recalledthat her husband Attilio

served in the army and waswounded in action in Eu-rope, but survived. After hisrelease from the hospital, heserved in the Air Force withthe 93rd Bomber Group inthe campaign against Japanin 1945. She also has a letterand picture of her cousinNicholas LaRosa, whoserved in the Italian army.When he and his infantrywere captured, they wereheld as prisoners at Fort Dixin New Jersey until the endof the war.

“My cousin and his fellowofficers were glad to be cap-tured because they were freefrom Mussolini and the bat-tlefields,” stated Philomena.“After the war, Nicholas re-turned to Italy and still livesthere today with his wife

and family. I also have a let-ter and photograph of aJapanese-American girlnamed Helen, who I was penpals with before the war. Un-fortunately, after Pearl Har-bor, all Japanese-Ameri-cans, including Helen andher family, were sent to relo-cation camps. I never heardfrom her again.”

Philomena graduated inJune 1945. The war ended inSeptember of the same year,and so did her column andpen pal letters. Today, as shelooks through the lettersand recalls life during a darkperiod in American history,Philomena is grateful forhaving the chance to keephope alive for many brave,selfless and determined in-dividuals who gave their

lives and made sacrifices sothat future generationscould live in peace.

“My letters and column‘Around the Globe with G.I.Joe’ will always have a spe-cial place in my mind andheart,” replied Philomena.“I truly believe that kindwords go a long way. I en-courage all of us to remem-ber and support our veter-ans and the men and womenserving in our armed forcestoday.”

When the actions of a par-ticular event or era are over,and we look back in history,we understand more or lesswhat has taken place byreading or studying about it,or listening to stories told bythose who lived during thosetimes. For Philomena, mem-

ories of her World War IIpen pals are stored in thearchives of her mind whilegiving her comfort in know-ing that she helped to bringkindness and hope to thosein need during a very trying,dangerous and deeply dis-turbing time.

Life will fade, people willcome and go, good times andhard times will try our spir-its, but the memories andgood deeds, no matter howbig or small, will remain.Let your heart, as well asyour mind, cherish thememories of yesterday, forthey bring comfort and hopefor today and tomorrow. It isthis purpose of not forget-ting that makes us remem-ber, so while we can, weshould “remember when.”

also do D.A.R.E.” Moreover, Falcon was

drawn to the school positionbecause of the necessary re-lationship-building. “I see aside of the students that un-fortunately the other peopleI work with don’t get to see,”he said. “Other police offi-cers are just reactive – theymake arrests – but I have anopportunity to be moreproactive with this job.”

“I work with kids all day,and I get to see that I make adifference,” Falcon contin-ued, “even if that’s making adeal with an elementaryschool kid to get their gradesup. If I promise the kid a po-lice patch if they get up theirgrades, that may be one dol-lar to the police department,but to the kid, that’s real im-portant. And it’s also aboutthe message you’re givingthat kid. I’m fortunate in myposition that I get to do theselittle things.”

Falcon has certainly builta relationship with the stu-dents, who call him “OfficerFalcon” or “Matt” in thehallways.

“It really is more of aguidance counselor role,”Falcon said. “I do a lot oftalking with kids. I just talkto them and make sure I’m

accessible. You’d be sur-prised how much they talk toyou. Even the kids who arein trouble more often stilltalk to me on a pretty consis-tent basis about everythingand anything.”

Falcon also receives infor-mation from teachers, secu-rity guards, school adminis-trators, psychologists andsocial workers. Together, theofficer and school employeespool their knowledge to for-mulate strategies for posi-tive outcomes for each indi-vidual case and student.

“This job is so unique,”Falcon said. “It’s alwayschanging, with every singlekid and every single situa-tion.”

Certain kids are sched-uled to talk to Falcon and hisschool team on a regular ba-sis. “We can’t be with themon Friday nights or theweekend,” he said. “We’retrying to give them the skillsets to make better choices.It’s always a team effort.”

Due to understaffing, theposition had been part-timefor the last several years,with Falcon also serving as aregular officer. However, theBoard of Education allocat-ed $50,000 in this year’s budg-et to assist in the cost ofmaking the position full-time.

“North Haven HighSchool enjoys a strong part-nership with the police de-partment,” said NHHS prin-

cipal Dr. Russell Dallai. “Of-ficer Matt Falcon is a keymember of our school com-munity. He is a positive pres-ence and an invaluable re-source in the building, en-joying good relationshipswith our students andadults. We are fortunate tohave a very safe school, andOfficer Falcon is an impor-tant part of our culture.”

Of course, Falcon is also

at the school as an official ofthe law, which can lead to astigma among students.“Some kids unfortunatelyhave built up the persona of‘hate the police,’” he said.“But if you build up a goodenough rapport with the stu-dents, then that persona be-comes less clearly defined,and they won’t see me assomebody in uniform, but asa human.”

Falcon is not hesitant tomake an arrest, but wouldrather serve as a mentor totroubled students.

“Unfortunately, some-times you have to arrestkids, but if you don’t have tomake any arrests, thatwouldn’t be a bad thing ei-ther,” Falcon said. “I’m nothere to discipline. I’m here tobe a resource to the stu-dents.”

world wide motto of RotaryInternational saying. “‘Ser-vice above self ’ is one of theguiding principles of mylife,” she said.

A review of her involve-ment in service to otherscertainly confirms the state-ment. She is active in theBest Buddies organization,but also spends long hoursworking with children withspecial needs at both thehigh school and the middleschool. She is well knownand respected for her leader-ship skills, which she hasdemonstrated in her churchyouth group at the Congre-gational Church, includingattendance on mission trips.Furthermore, she has volun-teered her time at the EastHaven Fall Festival, andmost recently has become anactive member of the NorthHaven Substance Abuse Pre-vention Council.

Siciliano has also demon-strated her leadership byserving as an officer for BestBuddies, the Music HonorSociety, and the High SchoolConcert Choir. She is an avidreader, runs in the highschool track program,played in the NIKH Bowlthis year, and assists withProject Adventure at the

high school. Additionally, Siciliano

participates in the NorthHaven Girls Softball Leagueand plays on the high schoolteam. She attributed herleague involvement to the de-velopment of her leadershipskills.

Her principal was im-pressed with her accom-plishments.

“Kalie is a wonderfulmember of our high schooland town community,” Dal-lai said at the honoring. “Shebrings energy and optimismto all that she does, and sheis a pleasure to work with asshe contributes to a host ofworthwhile causes. She is avery deserving recipient ofthis Rotary recognition.”

The idea for the NorthHaven Rotary’s Unsung HeroAward originated two yearsago. Club members GuyCasella and Brian Coughlinpointed out that the club had

been recognizing studentswith outstanding grades, butseemed to overlook hardworking students who per-formed selfless acts of serv-ice for others.

These unsung heroesseemed to go unnoticed, of-ten because they might nothave the top academicgrades in the classroom.Casella and Coughlin ap-proached fellow member andSuperintendent of SchoolsSara-Jane Querfeld aboutthe possibility of developingcriteria for a special certifi-cate of honor for those de-serving recognition.

Querfeld was supportive,but cautioned that the com-mittee should be careful notto give the wrong impres-sion. The new honoreesshould not be consideredlacking in academics, shesaid, but instead the recogni-tion should be a focus ontheir additional accomplish-

ments that relate to serviceto others.

At that same time, Casellaand Coughlin became awareof a program that had beenpreviously established bythe Cheshire Rotary Club,which they investigated andused as influence.

After the concept wasbrought to the club’s board ofdirectors, approval was giv-en to pursue the idea at thehigh school level. RotarianBernadette Casella, a specialeducation teacher housed atthe time in the high school,volunteered to work on theguidelines and to communi-cate with the faculty andstaff at the secondary

school. The criteria adopted by

the club was as follows: tomaintain good attendance;to hold at least a “B” gradeaverage; to be a member ofthe sophomore or juniorclass; to be a good citizen inthe high school, as well as inthe community at large; toactively participate in com-munity service; and to be aperson of good character.

Any resident of NorthHaven may nominate a stu-dent in grade 10 or 11 for con-sideration. The first studentso honored last Decemberwas Kate Pausig, for hercountless activities in theschool and community.

Letters to the EditorAnimal Havenneeds yoursupportTo the editor:

As a long-time supporterof The Animal Haven inNorth Haven, I am writingthis letter in the hope of urg-ing other people to give tothis extremely worthy cause.

I received the holidaynewsletter from AnimalHaven, and read that theemergency medical fund isdepleted. At this time ofyear, when giving is on ourminds, it would be nice ifanyone who is able couldsend a monetary donation tothis fund, which is used 100percent for veterinary serv-ices for the homeless dogsand cats Animal Haven takesin. In lieu of a Christmasgift, a donation in honor of afriend or relative is a gift thatgives twice over. AnimalHaven is a no-kill shelter, un-like many other places whichhave to dispose of their ani-mals when they are notadopted or no longer haveroom. I have been fortunateenough to adopt two dogsfrom there — one for approx-imately eight years and mypresent dog for going onthree years.

Any dog lover can tell youwhat a great comfort andcompanion a pet can be inyour home. I cannot imaginebeing without one.

Animal Haven has severalfundraisers, including theirpresent gift card sale. If yougive gift cards for Christmas,when you buy them from An-imal Haven, you get the fullvalue of the card, and Ani-mal Haven gets varying per-centages from the manycards available. Just aboutevery store, restaurant, ho-tel, etc., is on the list.

Call Melissa Tommaselliat Animal Haven for more in-formation (203) 239-2641. Thelast date of purchase is Dec.18. What a great way to solveyour Christmas shoppingideas.

Animal Haven is locatedat 89 Mill Road. Better still,stop by (call for hours) andtake home a gift of great joy— an adopted dog or cat.

Patriots and Scoundrels, Book 2By Paul Colella

Special to North Haven Citizen

Part 2As Simon Blackwell stared into Mrs. Kens-

ington’s crocodile eyes while holding her inhis grasp, he told his formidable opponentthat he was going to take advantage of herhospitality and lovely home.

“I need a place to dwell, and KensingtonHall will be most pleasing and comfortable,”replied Simon. “I am certain that you will bea most gracious and cooperative hostess.”

“I will not give shelter or offer hospitalityto the black-hearted villain who is responsi-ble for my daughter’s demise,” said Mrs.Kensington adamantly. “You must return tothe depths of hell from where you have comefrom. If you do not go voluntarily, then I willsend you there myself.”

Simon became enraged by Mrs. Kensing-ton’s response. He pushed her onto the sofaand then raised the iron hook that nowserved as his left hand. Terrified, Mrs. Kens-ington covered her face. But just as Simonwas about to strike his defenseless victim, hewas interrupted by a loud cry that came fromanother part of the house.

Unaware of what was taking place down-stairs in the drawing room, I hurried to

Charles’ room to investigate the loud cry. As Ientered the room, I found a pitiful Charlessitting up in bed sobbing and shaking. Iplaced my arms around him and did my bestto offer him comfort while telling him that hewas safe.

After Charles had calmed down, he told methat he had a dream about Charlotte. He ex-plained that in his dream Charlotte was run-ning toward him. As he reached out to her, athick fog filled the air, and then a hideouslooking man dressed in a dark cloak grabbedCharlotte from behind while laughing. Thenthey disappeared in the fog, leaving Charlesalone.

I told Charles that he had a bad dream andnot to pay any mind to the details. After hold-ing him in my arms for awhile, Charles be-came sleepy, so he put his head down on thepillow and quickly asleep. I sat in a chair byhis bedside for some time and then I left. I re-turned to my room, but I had a feeling thatsomething was terribly wrong.

Meanwhile, more than three thousandmiles across the Atlantic Ocean, a magnifi-cent celebration was taking place at St.James’ Court in London. King George III andhis wife Queen Ann were hosting a ball for

have never written a letter tothe editor. But after readingthe Dec. 4, 2009 letter to theeditor by Robert Wechsler, Ifeel compelled to comment.

The First Amendmentguarantees us all a voice inthis republic, and Mr. Wech-sler has used this right quitefrequently. However, I takeissue with one quote thatdemonstrates a level of arro-gance and condescensionthat requires a proper publicflogging…“The community’sfailure to recognize McCar-ty’s contributions to ourcommunity and its accept-ance of Freda’s misrepresen-tations of her record is some-thing that should sadden us.”Are you kidding me! He hasevery right to comment as tohis interpretation of anypublic official’s performanceand actions. But to call intoquestion the competence ofthe general electorate in se-lecting Freda over McCartyis, frankly, insulting. Mr.Wechsler needs to look in themirror before making suchbroad characterizations, andshould be careful whenwielding the terms “goodfaith” and “bad faith.” Hemay be an attorney, but he isnot the final arbiter in thistown.

Richard IovanneNorth Haven

Thanks for thecontributionsTo the editor:

Before we close the bookson last month’s election, I’dlike to take the opportunityto acknowledge the efforts ofseveral groups of people.

First, I’d like to thankJanet McCarty and the mem-bers of her administrationfor accomplishing so muchin such difficult circum-stances over the past twoyears. From institutingparamedic coverage, to im-plementing single-stream re-cycling, to making town op-erations more efficient, sheand her team diligently im-proved the quality of life inour town in so many lastingways.

Second, I’d like to thankall of Janet’s supporters andvolunteers who worked so

hard and gave so much ofthemselves throughout thepast campaign. While thereare too many to name indi-vidually, they deservetremendous credit for theirdedication and commitmentto making North Haven a bet-ter place.

Finally, I’d like to thankthe voters for their support. Icontinue to believe that theywant an honest, professionaladministration, and I will domy best to work with my col-leagues on the Board of Se-lectmen to deliver it. I willalso endeavor to hold the ad-ministration accountable forits actions, however, and tospeak up for those whoseviews or needs it neglects orignores.

I appreciate the chance tocontinue serving the peopleof North Haven on the Boardof Selectmen for the next twoyears, and look forward tohelping to keep the townmoving in a positive direc-tion.

Steve FontanaNorth Haven

Attorney ‘setsthe recordstraight’To the editor:

I am responding to the let-ter written by Robert Wech-sler that was published inthe Dec. 4, North Haven Citi-zen. I respond only to the por-tion of Mr. Wechsler’s letterthat mentions my law firmby name.

First, I told Mike Freda ayear ago that I would not beable to serve as town attor-ney in North Haven. Asmuch as I would be honoredto serve again as town attor-ney, the present demands ofmy practice do not allow meto commit the time neces-sary to serve the town in thiscapacity. Anyone who hasasked me about this issueover the past year has beeninformed of the foregoing.

Second, after Janet Mc-Carty was elected, she askedme to continue to representthe town in a number of mat-ters, and I agreed to do so. Mr.Wechsler agreed with Ms.McCarty’s decision to retainmy firm, stating in his Dec.19, 2007, blog entry that “Mr.Donofrio is highly competentand it would cost the town a

LettersContinued from page 14

lot of money to turn the mat-ters over to other lawyers.”Mr. Wechsler may not beaware of the fact that manyof the matters we were han-dling were, in fact, turnedover to other lawyers in oth-er firms, and it did, in fact,cost the town “a lot of mon-ey.”

Third, my firm and I cur-rently provide legal servicesto nine different Connecticutmunicipalities. We have re-ceived various accolades forboth our legal skills and eth-ical standards. We willmatch our qualificationsagainst those of any lawfirm practicing law in Con-necticut. We are still han-dling several matters for theTown of North Haven aris-ing out of the high schoolproject and would be pleasedto accept additional litiga-tion files from the town, ifour caseload allows.

Fourth, 25 years ago, I wasa freshman in college and myassociates were in gradeschool. Ciulla and Donofriowas formed in 1996. Thus, inhis reference to the “25years” that “Ciulla andDonofrio” were town attor-neys, I assume Mr. Wechsleris including the years whenBob Ciulla served as town at-

torney while working at an-other law firm prior to theexistence of Ciulla andDonofrio. Bob retired in 2006,after a very distinguished 40-year legal career and waswidely recognized as one ofthe pre-eminent lawyers inConnecticut.

Fifth, I am not surprisedthat Mr. Wechsler has comeout of hiding after two event-ful years. For example, upuntil Ms. McCarty took of-fice, Mr. Wechsler was anoutspoken critic of the mat-ter in which budget transferswere handled by the town.Yet, in the two years of theMcCarty administration,there were millions of dol-lars transferred, yet not asingle transfer was ever pre-sented to the town meetingfor approval. Not a wordfrom Mr. Wechsler. The an-nual town meeting, held tra-ditionally in August or Sep-tember following the end ofthe town’s fiscal year and re-quired by state law, was noteven held the past two years.No comment from Mr. Wech-sler. Readers should also askthemselves this question: IfMr. Wechsler is so interestedin who the town attorney is,where has he been the lasttwo years when a record

number of law firms com-bined to set record highs interms of North Haven’s legalspending?

It is very clear that Mr.Wechsler is a partisan indi-vidual, was a supporter ofMs. McCarty and is upset shewas defeated. It is also clearthat Mr. Wechsler does nothave an understanding ofthe role of the town attorney.The town attorney, like anyattorney, represents theclient with respect to specificlegal matters in which thetown attorney’s representa-tion is sought. It is not therole of any attorney, includ-ing the town attorney, tomanage the day-to-day af-fairs of a client. As for thefictitious “harmful prac-tices” Mr. Wechsler refer-ences, I leave the politics tothe politicians. As someonewho owns a small businessin North Haven, a businessthat employs North Havenresidents and makes signifi-cant contributions of timeand resources to the NorthHaven community, I view Mr.Wechsler’s premature andunprovoked assault as a cow-ardly act with a malicious in-tent.

London’s prominent and royal mem-bers of English society. The ball-room was filled with many men andwomen of nobility dressed in ele-gantly flowing gowns and finely tai-lored suits as they danced gracefullyto the music played by the orchestrapositioned at the far end of the room.Among the guests at the ball wereLord and Lady Winfield, who wererelated to the king. As Lord Winfieldengaged in a dance with the queen,Lady Winfield and King George IIIamused themselves by partaking inpleasant conversation.

“My lovely Lady Winfield, I will besorry to see you and your husbandleave tomorrow on your excursion toAmerica,” remarked the king. “Yourcharming and graceful presence asone of England’s finest couples will

be sadly missed at St. James’ Court.We will try our best to endure thedeprivation until your return.”

“My dear Majesty,” replied LadyWinfield, “your compliments are al-ways well received and deeply appre-ciated. Lord Winfield and I shall missthe gatherings at St. James’ Courtand your splendid company as well,but our departure will only be for ashort time. We are returning to theformer colonies to visit our dearfriend Phoebe Kensington. The poorwoman has endured the loss of herhusband and daughter withinmonths apart.

The king felt great sympathy forMrs. Kensington. He remarked toLady Winfield that Mrs. Kensingtonwas one of England’s finest women,and he implored her if she and LordWinfield would do their best to con-vince Mrs. Kensington to return toEngland with them. Lady Winfieldrevealed to the king that it was herand her husband’s purpose of thetrip to do just that.

Upon hearing this, King George IIIbecame elated. He then asked LadyWinfield to dance with him. Whilethey were dancing, Lady Winfieldsmiled kindly at her partner, but herthoughts were preoccupied with adisturbing matter that she kept toherself.

Back at Kensington Hall, I wastroubled by Charles’ dream and wasvery restless, so I walked about myroom. I went over to the window andpulled back the lovely blue velvetdrapes while staring out at the darkgray sky. All seemed calm and peace-ful outside. Then as I glanced uponthe grounds, I saw someone, who waswearing a dark cloak, walking awayfrom the mansion. Suddenly, this un-known person stood still, thenturned about while removing thehood of the cloak, and then lookedup at me. To my shocking horror, Isaw that it was Simon Blackwell.

I stood motionless from shock andcould not believe my eyes, for severalmonths ago I, along with Lt. Brad-

ford and Dr. Greenville, watched ashe leaped off the edge of Widow’sBluff into the sea. As he stared at mewith an evil smile on his face, Iquickly closed my eyes and desper-ately tried to convince myself thathe was not real. I kept my eyes closedfor a few seconds, and when I finelymustered up the courage to openthem, Simon was gone.

I gave a sigh of relief while tryingto convince myself that I was puttingmyself in a state of fear and panicfor no reason. Nonetheless, I hurrieddownstairs to find Mrs. Kensington.I saw a servant carrying a tray of teaand food into the drawing room, so Ifollowed. When we entered, the ser-vant gasped from fright and droppedthe tray she was carrying. To oursurprise, the room was in a completeupheaval with the terrace doorswide open, and we found an uncon-scious Mrs. Kensington lying on thesofa covered with several strands ofseaweed.

tainment. The event wasfounded by a former NHHSsenior class president over adecade ago, according toNHHS world languageteacher and senior advisorLisette Campos.

“It’s continued as a tradi-tion,” she said. “The kidslove it. They think it’s won-derful for the senior citizensas well. I really think it’s anice event.”

In return for breakfast,the hosts asked the seniorcitizens for advice about col-lege and the next chapters oftheir lives. The guests wereexcited to share.

“It’s a great opportunity topass on to young people whatwe’ve learned,” said guestJay Stankiewicz. “I for onetold the students not to lookfor the light at the end of thetunnel, but to enjoy theirsenior year. I rememberwhen I got to the end of mysenior year. I turned aroundand said ‘what happened?’”

“And P.S. - I love to teasethe kids,” Stankiewicz said.“But the funny thing is, themore I tease, the more thekids come back.

Stankiewicz’s wife Mil-dred told students to keep intouch with each other aftergraduation.

“I’m still going to my classreunions, so I know what itmeans to be a class,” shesaid. “Remember that you’rea class regardless of how oldyou get, so that you keepthose friendships.”

The students also servedas table waiters, bringingthe guests fresh fruits, pas-tries, and coffee.

“They got our coffee, sowe’d definitely come again,”joked first time guest LouisePentan. “They got our coffeeand took out coats. It madeus feel good.”

“This is marvelous,” saidfellow first time guest Bar-bara Schwartz. “The stu-dents are so accommodat-ing.”

The town’s senior citizenslook forward to the annualevent, according to NorthHaven senior center directorJudy Amarone. “This meansthat they have a chance tomingle with each other andthe high school seniors,” shesaid. “We don’t have toprompt this event at the cen-ter. We just say it’s today andwe get a busload. It’s a niceintegrated program.”

The event’s dignitaries in-cluded First SelectmanMichael Freda, selectmanSteven Fontana, Superinten-dent Sara-Jane Querfeld, Po-lice Chief James DiCarlo,Fire Chief Vincent Landisio,Community Services Direc-tor Gerardo Sorkin, and the

middle and elementaryschool principals.

“It’s such an honor andpleasure to see so many dig-nitaries this morning,” saidsenior class president EvanGambardella in a shortspeech.

Gambardella introducedFreda, who recognized boththe guests and the hosts.

“Today represents a nos-talgic metaphor,” Freda said“It is the convergence of thepast, present, and future.”

“The senior citizens rep-resent the foundation andbuilding blocks of the greatheritage we have here intown,” Freda continued. “Itis very important this timeof year to pause and reflect

the great contributionsmade by the senior citizensall over Connecticut.”

“In terms of the future, Iam hopeful and optimisticabout this remarkable sen-ior class,” Freda continued.“I think that the future ofNorth Haven is in greathands. And it is importantthat we look to the present asan opportunity to face chal-lenges together, the youngpeople in town and the sen-ior citizens.”

Freda urged the studentsto sit down and talk withtheir guests.

“The senior citizens havea great deal of knowledge,”Freda said. “Tap into thatknowledge.”

The students did just that,but not without a little trepi-dation in hosting an eventfor such venerable guests.

“The kids were nervous abit at first,” said NHHS prin-cipal Dr. Russell Dallai. “Butfive minutes in and theywere all laughing. It’s reallyterrific.”

“For our seniors thismeans a lot to be able toserve and interact with thecommunity’s senior citi-zens,” Dallai added. “For thesenior citizens, I hope it’s achance to meet and interactwith the students and toknow how much our kids ap-preciate them.”

The breakfast was madepossible by senior classfundraising efforts. A seniorcitizen raffle was created bythe senior class advisors, in-cluding over 60 items, giftcertificates, and gift cardsdonated by local businesses.Even though the event wasattended by many of thetown’s officials and leaders,the NHHS seniors did notforget who they were honor-ing.

“The real celebrities ofthis morning’s festivities arethe senior citizens,” saidGambardella in his speech.“Even though we grew up incompletely different times,your wisdom and life experi-ences can teach the seniorclasses something today.”
