After ‘American Idol,’ she’s back to high school

Grand List seessmall growth

Hockey ready for playoffs

By Stephanie O’ConnellGuest to the Citizen

Moments before Gabi Car-rubba entered the “AmericanIdol” audition room, she heldher shaky hand up to thecamera to show viewers justhow nervous she was.

If you tuned in later, youwould never have knownabout the backstage butter-flies. The North HavenHigh School senior sang likea seasoned pro and im-pressed the judges, earning atrip to Hollywood.

“Who wouldn’t be nerv-ous?” said Carrubba, 17. “Butit was the best experience ofmy life.”

Carrubba belted out Ma-

roon 5’s “Sunday Morning.”Her performance receivedrave reviews from the judges.

“She had one of those nat-ural voices, it was so simple

for her,” judge JenniferLopez said during the broad-cast.

Carrubba was one of 309contestants invited to the

grueling Hollywood Weekauditions, where contestantsperform solos and groupnumbers for a spot in the top12 and a shot at the “Ameri-can Idol” title.

Carrubba sang her waysafely out of HollywoodWeek and onto the stage dur-ing the Vegas PerformingChallenge. She was groupedwith other young contest-

ants, David Leathers Jr., Je-remy Rosado and ArielSprague. The singers allmade it to the next round af-ter wowing the judges withtheir renditions of “Rockin’Robin.”

The North Haven HighSchool boys’ varsity hockeyteam played a pair of roadgames in last week to com-plete their regular season.On Feb. 23, the Indians trav-eled to the Darien Ice Rinkto take on Division I oppo-

nent the Darien Blue Wave,who were 14-5 and ranked inthe state’s top 10.

Even before the first peri-od, NHHS faced a sizeabledisadvantage. The Indianswere without seven of theirtop players. Two were out ontwo-game suspensions whichhad originated from a chippyFeb. 20 contest against NotreDame. Injuries sidelined two

skaters while three Indiansmissed the matchup becauseof issues non-related to in-juries or suspensions, ac-cording to Roche.

With so many regulars un-available, numerous non-starters received extendedminutes. “We thought thatthis would be a good opportu-nity for people who did notnormally get a lot of ice timeto step up, and they did,” saidNHHS head coach TomRoche. “The score did not re-

North Haven’s 2011Grand List increased by$15 million which, at thecurrent tax rate of 26.54mills, means that town hallcan expect to collect an ad-ditional $83,000, accordingto First Selectman MichaelFreda.

While the boost in avail-able taxes is no significantamount, Freda sees signsof progress. “UniversalDrive has been a big part of

that increase,” he said. “Wehave gotten some new busi-nesses down there and oth-er businesses have expand-ed.”

However, Freda willstrive for higher gains onnext year’s Grand List.“Sometimes in govern-ment the Grand List is likea litmus test, and you al-ways want to see growth,”he said. “My goal is to in-crease the grand list by$500,000 in incremental tax

Freda addressesRotary

First Selectman MichaelFreda addressed the NorthHaven Rotary recently anhonorary member of theservice club. He examinedthe state of affairs in town bybreaking his overview of itsprogress into two broad cate-gories, financial and econom-ic development. Describingfinances as being in “fineshape,” he noted that he aimsto restore the AAA rating tothe community which canboast a fund balance ($1.7million) presently at 8 per-cent. In addition, fiscal bor-rowing at record low rateshas allowed taxpayers to ap-prove a $14 million bondpackage for the public worksgarage, the fire houses, androad improvements. Fredaalso supports the Board ofEducation budget, now re-ported to be a 3 percent hike.Although he said that he wasdisappointed that he was un-able to reach his goal of

growing the grand list moreunder economic developmentthis past year (only $83,000 of$300,000) he has now set hissights on one half to one mil-lion dollars for this year.

He then took his fellow Ro-tarians on an amazing virtu-al tour of the town, describ-ing improvements street bystreet, from the success ofnew businesses along Univer-sal Drive and State Street(and the paving there, as

Cleanup intensifies at former UpJohn siteBy Kyle Swartz


Drivers on Rt. 40 and I-91South may notice new con-struction at the former Up-John site, 41 Stiles Lane. Pfiz-er, which in 2003 assumed re-sponsibility for the polluted78-acre property, has begunimplementing initial steps ofa large-scale remedy plan toachieve full decontaminationonsite.

Dating back to the late 19thcentury, 41 Stiles Lane has along history of industrialuse. While all manufacturinghalted in 1993, over a centuryof factory activity took an en-vironmental toll, especiallyduring the 19th and early20th centuries, when healthregulations were consider-ably laxer. A 1989 federalstudy found 28 areas of envi-ronmental concern, includ-ing regions were soil is pol-luted 20-28 feet below surface.

Complicating matters, 41Stiles Lane contains manyacres of wetlands and abutsthe Quinnipiac River.

Underground water at theformer Upjohn site is contin-uously pumped through avast, high-tech cleansing sys-tem which works to removetoxins before water can re-join the Quinnipiac River.“We’re in a preliminary de-sign investigation of in-stalling new cutoff wallswhich would enable us topump more amounts of wa-ter and clean more amountsof water,” said Russ Downy, aPfizer director responsible

Furthermore, Pfizer engi-neers have installed equip-ment around a 1,000 square-foot zone as part of a pilotprogram which will useburied thermal wells to heat,

vaporize, draw out and con-tain below-surface contami-nates. “This process shouldbegin end-of March, earlyApril,” Downy said, “andrun for a six-month period.”

“We will evaluate the pilotprogram with state and fed-

Shaving heads for charityBy Andrew Gargano


North Haven schools aresetting their highestfundraising goal to date forthe fourth annual St.Baldrick’s Foundation hair-shaving event, hoping toraise $75,000 for childhoodcancer awareness and re-search.

The event will take placeon Monday, Mar. 12 at 6 p.m.at North Haven MiddleSchool. Adults and childrenalike will be able to volunteerto get their head shaved as away to support child cancerpatients.

“The idea is that you’reshaving your head in solidar-ity with the kids that losetheir hair to cancer,” saidSue Wilson, an organizer ofthe event and teacher at theMiddle School.

Those willing to shavetheir heads can raise moneyby acquiring pledges. Lastyear’s top fundraiser was a

seven-year-old North Havenstudent, Jacob Doyle, whobrought in $2,720.

All proceeds from theevent will be donated to St.Baldrick’s Foundation, a vol-unteer-driven fundraisingprogram that commits tofinding cures for childhoodcancers. According to thefoundation’s website, over$117 million has been raisedsince the program wasformed in 2000.

Wilson hopes to see theNorth Haven event grow fur-ther in 2012 after experienc-ing huge gains in each of thefirst three years.

In the inaugural NorthHaven event in 2009, 77 peo-ple volunteered to get theirhead shaved and approxi-mately $25,000 was raised.The event doubled in size injust a year, as 2010 saw 187heads shaved and about$51,000 raised. Last year, 222volunteered to shave and theevent produced $67,000 forthe foundation.

The event itself will offerother opportunities to do-nate as well, for those want-ing to contribute in differentmanners. Wilson says thatbracelets, coffee and crapesdonated by Perk on Main,and food and hats donated byExecutive Auto Group will beon sale, with all proceeds go-ing to the foundation.

Patriots and Scoundrels Book 3, Part 5Jean-Luc goes missing and Honoria must face potential violence once again

By Paul ColellaThe North Haven Citizen

Charity and Constancestood frozen from shock afterreading the message that waswritten on the mysteriousnote that they had found un-der the front door. Before ei-ther one of them could uttera word, Constance’s husbandAlexander appeared in thefront hall.

“Are you still here?” heasked. “I had assumed thatyou would have been on yourway to see Miss Charity’sfriend Patience Wright.” Thewomen’s silence gaveAlexander the suspicion thatsomething was wrong. “Tellme what is troubling you?”

Charity handed the note toAlexander. He read it andthen turned to his wife andCharity. He told them not toworry and insisted that theybe on their way. Constancesmiled and kissed her hus-band. She then took Chari-ty’s hand and they departed.As Alexander studied thenote in an attempt to recog-nize the handwriting, LouiseBourget tapped him on theshoulder.

“I am sorry to disturb yourprivacy, but I am concernedabout Jean-Luc. He did notreturn home last night andthe servants tell me that hisbed has not been slept in.Have you heard from him,”asked a concerned Louise.

“I have not seen him sincesupper last evening. It is veryunlike him to be away for solong without informing us ofhis plans. To ease your mind,let us go and search for him. Iwill ask my manservant tojoin us,” said Alexander.

“Thank you, Alexander,”said Louise as she reachedover to give him a slight peckon his cheek. Then she hur-ried upstairs to get her over-coat. Alexander touched hischeek and laughed quietly tohimself before placing thenote in his pocket.

At Baxter Lodge, an estatea few miles outside of Lon-don, Honoria Noble was re-turning from her afternoonride. She led her chestnutmare, a gift from her financeEthan, into the stables. She

bid the dogs, two Irishwolfhounds, to remain out-side. Jupiter and Apollo sankto the ground, whining softly,their large heads resting ontheir paws.

Inside the stables, horsesin their stalls nibbled at theirstraw bedding. Who couldblame them for wanting to beoutside and free of the dark?Not Honoria. She and dark-ness were old friends. Sheswung open a stall door, mur-muring encouragement toher reluctant mare. Sudden-ly, her task at hand was inter-rupted by a voice.

“Do not move or I shallshoot,” a deep, masculinevoice growled from thedepths of the stall.

His clipped, gentlemanlytones conflicted with hisharsh words. Dropping thereins, Honoria turned slowly

to face him. Grunting, adark-haired man leveredhimself up from a sitting po-sition against the far wall,his face had an ugly expres-sion of pain. The strangerwas armed and he pointed anunwavering pistol at herchest. The barrel’s mouthseemed like an endless well.She sucked in her breath,frozen by the deadly weapon.

A terrible thought racedthrough her mind. Wouldthis be the end? Her life hadnearly been cut short not toolong ago by a bullet intendedfor someone else. She sur-vived the first ordeal but wasshe fortunate a second time.She swallowed the risingpanic and forced herself tolook beyond the small blackeye of the pistol and at the in-truder.

He slumped against the

rear wall, a hand pressed tohis side. His dirty and wetshirt stuck to him in a waythat revealed the athleticmuscles beneath. Judging byhis fine linen shirt and cra-vat, her attacker was a gen-tleman.

“You are no stable boy,” hisvoice laced with pain. “Whothe devil are you?”

“My name is Honoria No-ble. These stables are theproperty of my future father-in-law, Caleb Fairchild.”

The stranger grunted. “Isuggest you turn around andleave, woman. Let me die inpeace.”

“Die?” With a start, shesaw the smudge on his shirtwas not dirt, but blood.

“You are hurt,” Honoriasaid.

“Very observant of you,”he replied as the pistol in his

hand vibrated.Honoria noticed sweat

upon his brow and it wassweat, not water that soakedhis shirt and she instructedhim to put down the pistol.“Put the gun down,” she ad-vised, her voice tremblingonly a little. “You need help.”

“I am beyond help,” hesnarled. “Who are you? Notthe lady of the house.”

“I have already told youmy name. Please, you needassistance,” Honoria said asshe held out her hand.

The stranger shook hishead, looking dazed. “No, Iam not worth it.”

“You are a gentleman, sir,”she observed. It appears tome that you have fallen onhard times, perhaps, but a

gentleman nevertheless. Be-sides, any human life isworth saving includingyours.”

“Go,” he managed to gaspout. “Let me expire in peace.”

Honoria ignored his re-quest and stepped forward asshe noticed the pistol slipfrom his grasp and into thestraw. Then the man toppledto the ground. She rushed for-ward, bending to touch thepulse point of his sweatyneck. She felt the beat of hisheart. She knew he was notdead and nor would he be, if

she had anything to do withit. While he was unconscious,Honoria decided to check hiswound more closely. Leaningcloser in the darkened stall,she examined his even fea-tures. As she studied his face,he seemed very familiar.Then she recalled who hewas. It was Jean-Luc Tessier.To be continued . . .

sleep,” said Carrubba. “Hol-lywood Week was prettystressful but Vegas was thebest part of the experience.”

Carrubba was cut duringVegas Week, when the rosterof 70 contestants was whit-tled to 42. She has since re-turned to her senior year ofhigh school and is working tocatch up on homework as sheeagerly anticipates her col-lege acceptance letters com-ing in the mail.

Carrubba has been on thestage since her first birthday,performing with the diaperdancers. She is a championtap dancer and even showedoff some of her moves on“American Idol.”

Her dancing led to a part inthe chorus in a production of“Annie” at the Bushnell Cen-ter for the Performing Arts inHartford, and in the touringversion that stopped at Madi-son Square Garden in 2006.

“I had been dancing for solong that I wanted to be onstage doing something otherthan dance,” said Carrubba.“I was watching the othergirls in my dance classes singso I thought it was somethingI could try.”

Since she decided to testher pipes, Carrubba’s singinghas become her main priori-ty. Carrubba records at TrodNossel Studios in Walling-ford. Though she has someoriginal songs, she has also

been recording some old clas-sics.

“When Gabi first startedcoming into our studio thefirst thing I noticed is thatshe can really sing. She’s notsomeone who is just OK,”said Tommy Cavalier, whosefamily owns the studio. “Herwork ethic and her passionfor music is something that israre as far as I’m concerned.Even more so, seeing as she isjust 17.”

Carrubba will performwith Big Shot, a Billy Joeltribute band, on March 16 atAmity High School. She isalso slated to sing the nation-al anthem on April 10 beforea New York Mets game.

“I honestly don’t knowwhy I was kicked off theshow. I felt that I worked justas hard as everyone else butit’s not something that I amgoing to dwell on,” she said.“I am going to move forward,remember the good part ofthe experience and focus onmy future.”

And she does plan to watchthe rest of this season of“American Idol” to see who iscrowned the winner.

revenue next year.”In order to realize $500,000

in revenue from the 2012Grand List — as opposed tothe $83,000 from 2011 —strong municipal efforts forlocal economic developmentare essential. “We have mul-tiple pipeline projects that Iam trying to deliver on,” Fre-da said. “If those are success-ful, our Grand List willgrow.”

Due to the sensitive natureof ongoing business negotia-tions, Freda could not dis-close too much informationon North Haven’s pipeline.However, for an example of alocal economic developmentproject potentially in finalstages, he could point to the

additional healthcare com-plex around Devine Streetand State Street. While plansfor establishing a Yale-NewHaven Hospital presence onDevine Street remain understate deliberation, a pro-posed additional medical fa-cility nearby should enterinitial construction phasessoon.

A grand list cataloguesall taxable assets in town, in-cluding real estate, motor ve-hicles and personal property.From this record, municipalleaders can approximate rev-enue which North Havenwould receive from futuretaxes, providing a basis for anew fiscal year budget andmill rate considerations.

On the 2011 Grand List,North Haven’s top ten tax-payers are Covidien, NorthHaven Industrial LLC, Au-

gust America, Price REIT,Sims Metal ManagementInc., United Illuminating Co.,Quinnipiac University,North Haven Holdings (hold-er of many Universal Driveshops), Bouwfonds PrestonCrossing and Drazen Proper-ties (holder of Stop and Shopand others).

Before any property hear-ings with the Board of As-sessment and Appeals, the2011 Grand List total num-bers represent a 0.47 percentincrease over the 2010 GrandList, which was a 0.28 per-cent decline from 2009 fig-ures.

the western area of the site, avery polluted section. Pfizerwants to aggressively treatthat area. The pilot plus thefull-scale version togethershould take about threeyears.”

Pfizer’s overall plan for 41Stiles Lane — which wouldrevitalize the land into amixed-use property — is pro-jected at $150 million in costsover five to eight years.“We’re looking to optimizethat timeframe and shortenit,” Downy said. “The eastside would become an ecolog-ical preserve that would fillmost of the site. On the west-ern side we see 17 acres thatcould become commercial de-velopment. We wouldn’t de-velop it ourselves, but in-stead work with interesteddevelopers.”

“One thing that is reallykey for us is that we reallywant to make this a valuableasset not only to the town ofNorth Haven, but also to theQuinnipiac River corridor aswell,” he added.

Pfizer took on responsibili-ty of 41 Stiles Lane in 2003when the international busi-ness purchased the Pharma-cia Corporation, parent com-pany of UpJohn.

Former owners of theproperty manufactured prod-ucts used in dyes and pig-ments, photographic chemi-cals, sunscreen agents, agri-cultural herbicides, pharma-ceuticals and photo-initia-tors, as well as additives forsoaps, perfumes and cosmet-ics. Potentially dangeroussoil contaminants include va-rieties of organic chemicalsand metals, including, amongothers, PCBs, volatile organ-ic compounds and lead. Atone point, 41 Stiles Lane con-tained a brickyard, whichmined large amounts of on-site clay, allowing chemicalsto seep down deep into thesubsurface.

Jobs in jeopardyEditor:I’m very disappointed and

quite frankly shocked thatthe U.S. Postal Service(USPS) plans on closingWallingford’s distributioncenter. The facility cannot beclosed before May 15 due to amoratorium on closing orconsolidating facilities.Therefore, I am calling onour Connecticut delegationto work on an alternativeplan and help save these jobs.

Part of the problem stemsback to 2006, when Congresspassed a law requiring theUSPS to prefund the cost ofretiree health benefits. With-in one decade, the USPS mustpay in advance retiree bene-fits for the next 75 years.That is an outrageous man-

date. If they didn’t have topay these benefits upfront,maybe jobs wouldn’t be injeopardy.

I also understand theremay be an opportunity forsome of the workers to trans-fer out of state to postal facil-ities that are now slated tohandle all of the regionssorting. In the unfortunatecase that Congress and theUSPS can’t come up with analternative plan to keep thisfacility open, I am hopefulthe Connecticut workers willbe given the option to relo-cate. In this economy jobs,are hard to come by — so wemust do all we can to protectthe ones we have.

Poets pay tributeto nature’s creatures

By Paul ColellaThe North Haven Citizen

The animal world holdsgreat fasci-nation for usall. It is nots u r p r i s i n gthat manypeople peri-odically feelcompelled toreturn to lifein the green-carpeted forest, the flower-strewn meadow, or the ex-posed expanse of the ocean.

There is something burieddeep within us that respondsto the fierce concentration ofa flying seabird hunting food,to the patience of a spiderspinning a web, to the inten-sity of a cat stalking her prey,to the frolicking little puppychasing a ball, to the playful-ness of lambs gamboling inthe field. Almost all crea-tures, large and small, seem

to recall to us a way of life weonce shared and would liketo recapture, if only for a fewmoments. Poets, too, have al-ways been intrigued by theanimal kingdom and the les-sons that can be learnedthere.

Several poets who repre-sent a variety of nature’speople have written manypoems about nature’s crea-tures large and small. InWilliam Blake’s, “TheTiger,” Blake writes evoca-tively about the tiger “burn-ing bright, in the forests ofthe night,” and CharlesLamb in his poem, “TheHousekeeper,” describes thefrugal snail that carries hishouse with him wherever hegoes. Lord Alfred Tennysonin his poem, “The Eagle,”tells of the eagle that claspsthe crag with crooked hands,and Nathaniel Parker Willisin his poem, “The Belfry Pi-geon,” immortalizes the bel-fry pigeon whose nest is onthe cross-beam under the oldSouth Bell.

Included, also, are EmilyDickinson’s enchanting po-ems, “The Butterfly’s Day,”“The Bee,” and “The Robin”that depict small wingedcreatures and insects, andtheir place in nature.William Cowper in his poem,“The Cricket,” describes theappearance and sound of acricket chirping on the

kitchen hearth and WilliamBlake in his poem, “The Fly,”describes the fly as summer’splay thing. Dickinson alsowrites about a snake in herpoem, “The Snake,” whichshe describes the slitheringcreature as being the longand narrow fellow in the tallgrass. Dickinson’s fellowpoet, Bret Harte, shares simi-lar thoughts about a snake inhis poem, “The Copper-head,” which the copperheadis described as a symbol ofdoom and gloom.

There are the poets wholike cats, dogs, and horses.Some regard dogs as beingman’s best friends that pro-vide unconditional love, loy-alty, and obedience. Othersthink of cats as being life-long companions that pro-vide amusement, compan-ionship, and love. And othershave a fondness for horsesthat represent strength,beauty, and the freedom toride like the wind. Poets BenKing, John Keats, JosiahGilbert Holland, George Gor-don, Elizabeth BarretBrowning, and Caroline Nor-ton all describe the fulfill-ment, enjoyment and curios-ity that these four-legged ani-mals bring into the lives ofthe narrator and the readerin their poems.

And there are also otherpopular poems by such emi-nent writers as Walt Whit-man, Robert Louis Steven-son, Oliver Wendell Holmes,Lewis Carroll, John GodfreySaxe, Charlotte Smith, JonesVery, William Wordsworth,Jones Very, Paul HamiltonHayne, Barry Cornwall, andHerman Melville, author ofthe classic novel “MobyDick.” The subjects and vers-es in their poems reaffirmthe miracle of life and the

beauty, fascination, and won-der of all creatures, largeand small.

The animal world does in-deed hold great fascinationfor us all as evident in thecreative and captivatingwritings of many talentedpoets whose poetic tribute tocats, dogs, horses, birds, in-sects, coyotes, grizzly bears,cows, sheep, reptiles, and seacreatures give us a curiosityand intrigue for the animalkingdom and the desire tolearn about these creaturesand their world. The lessonlearned from those poets and

this column is all things ofnature are small and great,bright and beautiful, uniqueand wonderful. They aremade for us all and are na-ture’s inhabitants that makeup the wonder of the worldaround us as evident by thepoets who pay tribute to na-ture’s creatures.

State column

What is Malloy really up to?By Chris Powell

When last year he copied his predecessorfrom 20 years earlier, Lowell P. Weicker Jr.,and proposed a record tax increase so thatthe government class, government depend-ents generally, and rent seekers might be in-sulated against the sacrifice being exactedfrom taxpayers, Governor Malloy was a heroto Connecticut Democrats — that is, a hero tothe government class, government depend-ents generally, and rent seekers.

But this year Malloy is starting to makethe same bunch nervous.

First he proposed to repeal Connecticut’sparasitic liquor laws, which forbid competi-tion in pricing and business hours and turnlicensing into political patronage. It was aspectacularly gratuitous assertion of some-thing seldom even acknowledged by a gover-nor — the public interest. As most legislativedistricts have many “mom and pop” liquorstores whose operators will jump desperatelyinto politics to protect their privileges, legis-lators are thinking: Did the governor needthis fight? Do we?

Then came the governor’s proposal for thestate Education Department to take controlof as many as 25 of the worst-performing lo-cal schools. Terrible schools long have beenwonderful pretexts for municipalities to ob-tain more financial aid from state govern-ment. But for someone to request responsi-bility and legal authority to actually changethings? That would be awfully inconvenientfor the thousands living well off the drearystatus quo. Already school administrators,teachers, and parents are agitating againstthe possibilities, and that will end up in thelegislature’s lap too.

As if the governor’s school takeover legis-lation wasn’t enough, then he went after thefattest sacred cow of all, teacher tenure, pro-posing to replace it with a system of rigorousand frequent evaluation that would greatlydiminish job security and greatly increaseaccountability. Though some of their unionleaders lately had been suggesting that they

would consider weakening tenure to improveeducation, most teachers quickly exploded inanger and denounced school administratorsas being too stupid and corrupt ever to han-dle serious evaluations fairly. Since everylegislator has dozens if not hundreds ofteachers among his constituents and as mostlegislators are the tools of any three peoplewith a letterhead, the tenure issue soon mayhave most legislators — not just union-stoogeDemocrats but Republicans too — hiding un-der their desks sending text messages to thegovernor’s office, pleading for rescue.

And then Malloy resubmitted legislationfrom last year to eliminate state governmentscholarships for students attending privatecolleges that have large endowments and caneasily afford to replace the state scholarshipmoney. State government shouldn’t be pay-ing students to attend private colleges whenthe state’s own college system claims to beunder such stress. The scholarships for pri-vate college education are remnants of thedays when nearly everyone in state govern-ment thought it could afford anything thatsounded nice. But here too there is shriekingabout the governor’s sudden assertion of apublic interest superior to the interest of stu-dents in attending rich private universitiesat public expense.

While state government is running adeficit again despite last year’s mammothtax increase, the deficit seems manageablewith some budget tweaking, and state gov-ernment probably could sustain itself in con-tinued obliviousness to Connecticut’s de-cline if only the governor would leave wellenough alone.

So some Democratic observers remark bit-terly that Malloy’s tenure proposal is meantonly to scapegoat teachers for public educa-tion’s failures. Other observers sneer thatthe governor is just trying to toughen his im-age in regard to public employees after let-ting them off so lightly last year, his “sharedsacrifice” having meant only a slight reduc-

Salt intake shouldbe lower for all

By V. Deborah Culligan

Salt (really sodium) canhave a large impact onblood pressure measure-ment. Studies have shownthat high intakes of salthave a definite link to high-er blood pressure. Lower-ing sodium in a diet (cou-pled with increasing intakeof potassium) can be reallyhelpful in preventingand/or controlling highblood pressure (hyperten-sion). This is important be-cause uncontrolled hyper-tension can lead to strokesand heart attacks.

The 2005 recommenda-tion for salt (sodium) in-take was for 2,400 mg perday (for the average per-son) and for 1,500 mg perday for those with highblood pressure (or at risk ofhigh blood pressure.) Butnow, the 2010 new dietaryguidelines call for 1,500 mgper day for all adults! Thisamount includes all salt,both added by you and thatwhich occurs naturally orin processed/canned foods.

The salt industry doubtsthat we can do this. Theymay be right, unless you dosome detective work andlook for the hidden sodiumin foods. It is easy not toadd salt to your foods, butthis is only a small percent-age of the salt you con-sume. Most of it comesfrom the foods we eat. Asyou look at food labels, youmay be shocked at whatyou will find.

Reducing sodium can bepretty easy and straightfor-ward if you use the nutri-tion label. The amount ofsodium must appear on thefood label and you can easi-ly add up the amounts.Note that most labels listthe Daily Value still basedon the 2005 guidelines. Toassess accurately the totalpercent of the daily value,you must lower the value to1,500 mg instead of the

2,400 mg. For example, aslice of Arnold white breadhas 260 mg. Based on theold values, this is 11 per-cent of the daily value, butbased on the new guide-lines, it is 17 percent of thedaily value.

You need to check the la-bels of all the foods you eat.You might be surprised tosee how much sodium is infoods that you don’t expectto find it in. You probablyknow that canned soupsand vegetables are high insodium. But did you alsoknow that flour tortillas,deli meats, some granolabars, bottled iced teas andsodas, rice mixes, breads,desserts and many break-fast cereals are also rela-tively high in sodium? Andby far, among the worst of-fenders are fast foods, espe-cially in foods you mightnot have suspected (like hotand spicy wings.) By com-paring products, you cansignificantly reduce yoursodium intake. (By the way,kosher salt and sea salt arestill salt and count as salt.)

For free written infor-mation on reducing salt(sodium), increasing potas-sium, and the DASH (Di-etary Approaches to StopHypertension) diet, resi-dents can call the Quinnip-iac Valley Health Districtat 203 248-4528 or requestinfo online at qvhd.org

In the first period theteams competed to a 1-1 tie.As the game continued,Darien upped its scoring andwent on to win 4-1, sendingNorth Haven to their thirdstraight loss since eveningtheir record at 8-8 on Feb. 15to qualify for the state tour-nament.

“We made a couple of men-tal errors in the second peri-od against Darien which al-lowed the game to get awayfrom us,” Roche said. “We re-ally thought that we could getthem in the third, and weplayed really well in thethird, but we lacked the scor-ing punch that we needed.”

North Haven saw a 29-26 half-time lead turn into a 41-29deficit in just a few minutes.

“You would think that,with a lead, we would havecome out a little bit harder inthe second half,” said headcoach Peter Civitello after-ward. “But we got quiet, wegot flat a little bit, and it wasalmost like we were just sat-isfied winning the half.”

Civitello credited his teamfor battling back after the

poor start, however.Trailing 60-49 with just

over two minutes to play,North Haven stunned theWilbur Cross crowd with anenergetic 10-2 run led by sen-iors Billy McDonald and Do-minic Schioppo, as well assophomore Josh Lopez. TheIndians had suddenly madeit a one-score game, trailingby three with just 30 secondsleft.

The comeback attempt fell

just short however, as WilburCross senior Kyle Holmes hita pair of free throws thatsealed the victory for histeam.

“You have to give themcredit,” said Civitello. “Crossis obviously a team that hasthe ability to score in bunch-es, and they did.”

North Haven split twogames earlier this year withWilbur Cross, beating them75-70 on the road on Dec. 22,

but losing handily at homeon Jan. 24, 84-38.

The Indians shift focusnow to the CIAC State Tour-nament, beginning with amatchup against BristolEastern.

“We’ll have a good week ofpractice and prepare for an-other quality game,” saidCivitello of his team’s future.“We’d definitely like to win astate tournament game.”

Column — A newspring for Yankees

By Jim BransfieldSpecial to The Citizen

TAMPA — The springtraining park wasn’t sched-uled to open until 10 a.m.,so I figured I’d visit theLegends Gift Shop directlyunder the plaza at the maingate to George M. Stein-brenner Field. Yeah, it’snot Steinbrenner Field; theGeorge M. is required.

The shop has every NewYork Yankee gear imagina-ble, and just about every-thing is retail. High retail.So I promised myself tolook and not buy.Promised.

To a Yankee fan, theplace is like a candy storeis to a five year old. YankeeT-shirts, sweatshirts, poloshirts, coats and hats.Wastebaskets. Doormats.Mouse pads. Flags. Posters.Books. Wrist bands. Dolls.Stuffed animals. Baby bot-tles. License plate frames.Baby bibs. Baby outfits.Toddlers’ outfits. Picturebooks. Branding irons toburn the word ‘Yankees’into your hot dogs.

But I just looked. Theclock struck 10, the gatesopened, time to report. Itwas the first day for pitch-

ers and catchers. First dayfor fans, too. So I reported.

There were several hun-dred fans on time. As themorning wore on, hun-dreds more filed into thismagnificent ballpark. Thegrass was so green it mademy eyes hurt. The sign onthe board said Welcome to‘George M. SteinbrennerField.’ Told you! I wan-dered down the right-fieldline, because that’s wherethe players first come out.A lot of veteran springtraining fans in the parkknew that, too. A couplehundred took up locationsin the corner, hard by thebullpen, which is tuckedinto the space between themain grandstand and thepavilion (translation: openair bar) in right field.

At about 10:15, a group ofpitchers with uniformnumbers in the 60s, 70s, 80sand 90s walked onto thefield. I bought a roster for abuck, knowing that I wouldknow very few of thoseguys and it might be niceto have some idea who No.97 in pinstripes was.

The names were those ofminor leaguers, some ofwhich I had heard but oth-ers, heck, could have been

the guy who lived acrossthe street. One namejumped out: Manny Delcar-men. He was last seen get-ting lit up in a Red Sox uni-form and he was here for, Iguess, a look-see.

Then the crowd startedapplauding. No. 42 walkedthrough the gate onto thefield. If you don’t knowwho No. 42 is, you shouldprobably stop reading.

The Great MarianoRivera — The GreatestCloser of all Time (TG-COAT ) — proceeded towork out with the no-names — along with No. 29,Rafael Soriano, of whomYankee fans will expectbetter performances thanlast year. Mariano banteredwith fans and looked thisway and that for picturesthat will grace albums,electronic and old-fash-ioned like mine, across thecountry.

When the conditioningcoach began exercises,Mariano was all business.He did everything asked bythe coach along with theprospects, some of whichare never-wills and some

Shelton team that I helpedcoach last year in the Divi-sion III Championshipgame.”

It was Senior Night for thehome team, but North Haven— now missing only the twosuspended players — was allbusiness as they took the icewith the mission Roche hadjust spoken about. “I told theboys to focus on the game,what’s happening on the ice.Focus on the actual hockeygame and forget everythingthat happened with the miss-ing players and the incidentfrom two weeks ago,” he said.“We needed to get back on theright track and play like itwas a playoff game.”

“The boys came out play-ing well,” he added. “Theywere pumped up and gave usopportunity to finish on astrong note.”

Senior Mark Girardi putNorth Haven in front with agoal a little over five minutesinto the game after taking apass from freshmen CameronOwens to make the score 1-0.In the second, senior co-cap-tain Mike Andreucci expand-ed that lead when he scoredhis first of two goals in theperiod after a nice series ofpasses from juniors JimPiscitelli and Karl Andersonto open up a 2-0 advantage.

“We started moving thepuck along real well,” Rochesaid. “Our breakout was play-ing well, too.”

Opposing skater ChrisSpagnoletti cut NorthHaven’s lead in half shortlythereafter on a breakawaywhen he zipped the puck overSenior goalie MikeAmarone’s head and just be-low the cross bar to make it 2-1. But Andreucci’s secondgoal on a pass from SeniorKen Broccoli put NHHS backup by two at the end of thesecond.

“Andreucci took a real niceshot and picked the cornerfor a 3-1 lead,” Roche said.“The boys continued to domi-nate play going into thethird.”

In the last period neitherteam scored until under aminute left. Watertownpulled their goalie to add anextra skater, but Ken Broccoliintercepted a pass and head-ed in the other direction. Ashe crossed the blue line, Broc-coli was tripped, but was stillable to push the puck towardsWatertown’s empty net as hewent down. With 12 secondsleft in the game, the pucktrickled in to make the finalscore 4-1.

“The boys were playingstrong and they were playingphysical,” Roche said. “Theypulled it all in. It was a nicefinish to the season.”

The win improved NorthHaven’s final record to 9-11and likely solidified the 15thseed in the State Tournamentthat starts on March 5. Be-cause 19 teams qualified,North Haven must partici-pate in one of three “play in”games, as the top 13 seedswill receive byes. While sus-pended Indian players arenow eligible for all forthcom-ing competition, eliminatingneedless mistakes and penal-ties is a must.

“I have always felt that,five against five, we couldcompete against anybody,”Roche said. “Our worst ene-mies are mental errors andpenalties. Those always placeus in our worst positions.”

North Haven will have thisweek off as they prepare forthe tournament. To keep hissquad game-ready, Roche hasscheduled a scrimmage thisweek with North Branford.“Early in the week in prac-tices we will focus on condi-tioning,” Roche said. “Laterin the week I will really pushthe boys, with more systemsand playing situations.”

Ski club plans eventsThe North Haven Ski Club has scheduled a bus trip for Sat-

urday, March 3 to Killington Mountain. Sign ups are sched-uled for Wednesday, Feb. 29 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the NorthHaven Parks and Recreation Department.

Pittsburgh, a day many Yan-kee fans will remember asone of the highlights of 2012.

Last year, rumor has itMartin’s life insurance poli-cies were nearly canceled asBurnett’s errant pitchesbounced off Martin’s knee,shoulder, head and feet. Mar-tin logged more time run-ning to the backstop to re-trieve Burnet’s best pitch —the wild pitch — than he didrunning out his 18 homeruns.

Francisco Cervelli, the ef-fervescent back-up catcher,took his hacks. He joked withsomeone in the crowd. Typi-cal Cervelli. Pretty cool.

Austin Romine, who isslated to catch AAA and maybe the Yankee catcher of thefuture, also took his turn inthe cage. Romine, they say,has all the defensive tools.Problem is, he hits like me.But Girardi was quoted as

saying he believes Rominewill hit. From his lips toGod’s ear.

So I reported and it wasgood. It was the chilliest ofmy 10 days in Florida. It was72. Every other day was 78-86degrees. Eat your hearts out.

As I left, a paused to lookat the retired Yankee num-bers in the plaza outside theentrance. I convinced somelovely lady to take my pic-ture in front of Don Matting-ly’s No. 23, just to prove that,yeah, I was there. I looked atthe gift shop sign.

Well, it wouldn’t hurt justto take a walk through beforeI left. I reminded myself ofmy promise not to buy.

Right.Bought three T-shirts.
