Irish culture, popular game showjoin forces in successful event

By Kyle SwartzThe North Haven Citizen

The annual ConnecticutIrish Festival attractedcrowds in the thousands overthe June 16 weekend, bol-stered by a Deal or No Dealcasting call held in conjunc-tion on the North Haven fair-grounds.

Festival attendees jiggedto a stream of live Irishbands and washed downcorned beef sandwiches andsoda bread with a pint ofGuinness or a cup of tea. Themain tent contained seatingfor hundreds to sit and savorthe food, drink, and bands,one of which joked in thespirit of the festival, “Enjoyyourselves, because the moreyou drink, the better wesound.”

Traditional Irish sportssuch as hurling and Gaelicfootball attracted theyounger fairgoers, as did arow of giant, inflatable ridesand the petting zoo. Twobarns full of booths hawkedinnumerable Irish-themedmemorabilia, while anotherbarn offered information onIrish history and culture.The event also included anIrish dancing competitionand a 5k road race.

Held annually in someconfiguration since 1963, thefestival’s present non-profitform has been hosted by theIrish American CommunityCenter of East Haven since1989.

“All money goes to promul-gating Irish culture,” saidfestival publicity committeemember Dennis Regan.

The East Haven IrishAmerican Community Cen-ter promotes and hosts Irishplays, concerts, dancing,Gaelic language instruc-tions, social activities, andsports, and will be sending ayouth Gaelic football team tocompete on the national level

in San Francisco in July. Thecommunity center also con-ducts benefits for the sickand bereaved, Regan said.

The festival’s attendancewas assisted this year by anopen casting call on June 27for the NBC game show Dealor No Deal, which recentlymoved production to Water-ford, Conn.

The show, hosted by HowieMandel, begins when a con-testant chooses one briefcasefrom a series of cases thateach contain a different andunknown monetary amount.The contestant then elimi-nates the remaining briefcases, which are opened withsuspense by models, all whilereceiving offers from an off-stage banker in return forthe original briefcase. A con-testant can accept an offer, orhold on to their originalbriefcase in return for themonetary amount inside,with a chance at $1 million.

The casting call, held un-der a tent on one side of thefair, seemed to align with“the luck of the Irish,” as theshow actually singled out theIrish Festival.

“We were approached byDeal or No Deal,” said JohnMackey of the festival’s pub-licity committee. “Theyasked if they could do a cast-ing call for the show. We said‘heck yeah.’”

Regan said that he thoughtthe original e-mail from LosAngeles Deal or No Deal cast-ing director Luke Conklinwas a prank. “I e-mailedback, ‘sure, and the presi-dent of Ireland can run inthe 5k,’” he said. “I thought itwas a joke.”

Conklin e-mailed back,pleading the veracity of theshow’s interest. Meanwhile,Regan and his colleagueshad researched the matterand decided the opportunity

A pitcher readied himselfon June 24 inside the NewYork Mets’ brand new CitiField. It was a cool and clearsummer night and he gazedat his catcher, thinkingabout the pitch. The crowd of30,000 took to their feet. Thepitcher drew in his body andthen uncorked his stance,firing a strike. The crowdroared with applause.

The pitcher was not aceJohan Santana, or steadfastcloser Francisco Rodriguez.He was not even journeyman

Fernando Nieve, who wouldfollow that night and contin-ue his improbable 2009 sea-son, blanking the Cardinalsover six innings.

He was David Gordon, 14-year-old North Haven resi-dent and baseball aficiona-do. He was throwing out thegame’s first pitch to Mets’manager Jerry Manuel.

“It was awesome,” Davidsaid after the game.

“He had a wonderfultime,” said his mother CarolGordon. “He was swarmedby all types of different pa-pers and radio stations. Hefelt like the big cheese.”

The home team would tri-umph 11-0 over the visitors,but everybody was a winneras David, who suffers fromWolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome,threw two pitches for strikesthanks to efforts from theStarlight Children’s Founda-tion.

“I can’t say enough aboutthem,” Carol said ofStarlight, a non-profit organ-ization which works to im-prove the lives of childrenwith chronic and life-threat-ening illnesses and injuries.Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome,a severe chromosomal disor-der that impedes develop-

mental andmental growth,affects approxi-mately one inevery 50,000births.

S t a r l i g h tcould not havemade the NewYork night pos-sible withouttheir continuedp a r t n e r s h i pwith the base-ball club. “TheMets are a won-derful and greatclub,” Caroladded. “They doa lot forStarlight. I’mthankful thatthey can find itin their heartsto do things likethat.”

Young baseball fan gets chance of a lifetime, throws first pitch at Mets gamedren, and sat several hun-dred at this particular game.Before the game, they held aparty inside Citi Field forStarlight. And during thisparticular evening, the Metsbestowed the ultimate oppor-tunity – to be part of the ac-tual game – to a true baseballfan in David.

“He could sit in front ofESPN all day,” Carol said ofher son’s passion for base-ball. “He does the softballthrow in the SpecialOlympics and has playedchallenger league baseball inNorth Haven for nine years.”

Last year at a Starlightfundraiser, an anonymousbenefactor purchased a batsigned by Mets star short-stop Jose Reyes and gifted itto David, who was describedby his mother as an “equalopportunity” fan of bothNew York baseball teams.David’s favorite New Yorkbaseball players includeReyes, David Wright, DerekJeter, Alex Rodriguez, andHideki Matsui. The NorthHaven native stood 20 feetfrom the Mets dugout at onepoint and then prepared for

his pitch during pre-gamewarm-ups, putting him closein proximity to his baseballidols.

“He saw David Wright onthe field,” Carol said. “It wasa big thrill.”

David met with the coach-es of both teams before hispitch, sharing a momentwith four-time manager ofthe year and two-time WorldSeries champion TonyLaRussa of the Cardinals.

“Look at all the famouspeople,” David said, repro-ducing his response to shar-ing the field with household-name players and coaches.“It felt very good to get outthere.”

Even the summer skyseemed to be on David’s side– in the midst of its currentmonsoon-impression, theweather cleared up just intime for him to pitch. Davidstood halfway between thepitching mound and homeplate. Next to him was his fa-ther Alan, as David was al-lowed to bring one relativeout with him.

North Haven residentsvoted at a June 22 publichearing to allow the Land-craft Fife and Drum Corps toseek corporate donations forenergy conservation im-provements to their head-quarters, through the Con-necticut Neighborhood As-sistance Act.

The act allows corpora-tions to take multiple tax de-ductions if they bestow do-nations to non-profit organi-zations which seek fundingfor energy saving uses, aswell as other community im-provement programs. Thenon-profit organizationsmust first have their re-quests for donations ap-proved both by their town

and the state, according toCorps president JohnMcGuire. However, Con-necticut has generally beenquick to pass any town-ap-proved requests, accordingto CPA and Corps treasurerDan O’Mara.

The Landcraft Corps ishoping to raise a total of$20,300 through any numberof donations to improve theenergy efficiency of Moriar-ty Hall, their 62 Clark Ave.property, O’Mara said. Theproposed improvements in-clude the installation of so-lar panels and an on demandwater heating system, as op-posed to a less-energy effi-cient hot water holding tank.

Corporations who donateto Connecticut Neighbor-hood Assistance Act ap-proved non-profit organiza-

tions specifically to fund en-ergy saving measures candeduct from their state andfederal returns, O’Mara said,and will also receive a statetax credit equal to 100 per-cent of the amount donated.This way, O’Mara said, thecompanies come out ahead.

“That’s why the statemade this so attractive,” O’-Mara added, “to make corpo-rations want to do this.”

Corporations can also do-nate to Connecticut Neigh-borhood Assistance Act ap-proved non-profit organiza-tions for specific measuresthat are not centric to ener-gy-conservation, includingfunding for neighborhood as-sistance, education, childcare services, employmentand training programs forthe handicapped or unem-

Landcraft Fife and Drum gets approval to seekdonations for energy efficient improvements

ployed workers over 50, andprograms which assist thosearound or below the povertylevel. Corporations which do-nate to fund programs notcentric to energy-conserva-tion will only receive a statetax credit equal to 60 percentof the amount donated, in ad-dition to the applicable taxdeductions.

Location does not matterfor the organizations whichdonate money to the non-profits. “The organizationsdo not have to be from thetown of North Haven,”McGuire said, “but all thebetter if they are.”

“They would be gaining alot in giving back to a com-munity organization,”McGuire added of corpora-tions which donate throughthe act, “plus, all the publici-ty that comes with it.”

The Landcraft Fife andDrum Corps is headquar-tered in North Haven and in-cludes 45 members, originat-ing from all over the country.A mainstay of local paradesand celebrations, the corps isrecognizable by their histori-cal American dress, music,and instruments.

Any donations made to theLandcraft Fife and DrumCorps in light of the Con-necticut Neighborhood As-sistance Act must be made byDec. 31, 2009, O’Mara said,with a donation commitmentdeadline of Dec. 15.

Religious leader celebrates 50 years in the priesthoodBy Kyle Swartz

The North Haven Citizen

In April, Father TimothyMeehan of St. ThereseChurch, North Haven, cele-brated the 50-year anniver-sary of his ordination as apriest, five decades filledwith acts of altruism to-wards the less fortunate.

Hashed out already in nu-merous papers able to en-snare time in Meehan’s con-suming schedule before thisone, the priest’s historyreads like a sight-seeing tourof theological Connecticut.Meehan, a product of Hart-ford’s South End, studied forpriesthood at St. ThomasSeminary in Bloomfield andCatholic University in Wash-ington, D.C. before being or-dained on May 7, 1969, in St.Lawrence O’Toole Church,Hartford. After a three-month assignment at the Im-maculate Conception in Wa-terbury, Meehan took hisfirst full-time position at St.John the Evangelist in NewHaven from 1959 to 1962,while simultaneously serv-ing as Catholic Chaplain atYale-New Haven Hospital.

From 1962 to 1977, Meehanserved a St. Martin de Porresin New Haven, taking a breakin 1972 to conduct a nationalstudy of urban ministry atNotre Dame University. Afterserving the Archdiocese ofHartford as associated direc-tor of Catholic Charities, theNew Haven Office ofCatholic Family Services,and earning his MBA fromYale, Meehan served as co-pastor at St. Mary’s in Wind-sor Locks from 1987 to 1991.Finally, on January 28, 1991,Meehan was appointed aspastor to St. Therese Church.

Meehan’s history has cer-tainly been covered – not yetexplored, however, is hischarity.

A priesthood of 50 yearsand counting is impressive,but just as astounding isMeehan’s continual advoca-cy for the underprivileged.Highly devout and modest,Meehan’s natural benevo-lence almost comes in con-flict with his priesthood – ea-ger to speak of his manycharities only to prove apoint about the philosophy ofhelping equally all man, Mee-han continually yields, apol-

ogizing that his stories makehim appear to “have a handin everything.”

The truth is, even if thepriest’s modesty hampershim from admitting so, Mee-han’s reach has extended pos-itively into many organiza-tions which serve the under-privileged.

For example, Meehan, theformer chairman of the NewHaven Housing Authority,was heavily involved with ef-forts to bring affordablehousing units to NorthHaven. Meehan had to battleagainst public fears of themisconceptions associatedwith affordable housing.

“Everyone equates afford-able housing with the poor,crime, and drugs,” Meehansaid. “People misunder-stand.”

It took Meehan and agroup of other state theologi-cal leaders seven years to getthe housing approved in thetown, and only after thegroup was forced to sueNorth Haven, the priest said.

“People were so sure thatwithin a year they would be-come slums,” Meehan said ofthe affordable housing units,located off of QuinnipiacAve. “They’re very nicehomes.”

The homes were openedfour years ago, Meehan said,and attracted a bevy of appli-cations. “There are a lot ofpeople who would like to getinto a town like NorthHaven,” Meehan said.“They’ve been living inrentals and are trying to getout, but they need a slightbreak, as in low interest.”

All applicants werescreened and had to pass acourse of house mainte-nance before inhabiting oneof the two-story units, Mee-han said, and most of theoriginal buyers still remainin their properties.

“They were a great oppor-tunity to get houses for peo-ple who could not afford toget a house,” Meehan said ofthe housing units. “Andwhen they move out, theysell the house back to the co-operation at a set improvedprice.”

Today, many new appli-cants are children, nephews,and nieces of people whoonce derided the housingunits, as the area has cer-tainly not suffered becauseof the complex.

“In the last two years I’vemet three people who livedfour or five blocks away,”Meehan said. “They had soldtheir house because theywere led to believe that theentire area was in jeopardy,and if they didn’t sell then,then their houses would loseall value. Some people arevery angry that they weretold that and are now regret-ting that decision to move.”

Meehan’s theologicalgroup has helped construct

approximately 3,000 afford-able housing units all overthe state. The priest said thathe will continue to seek fur-ther affordable Connecticuthousing opportunities.

Meehan partly derived hisbroad advocacy views fromhis days as a pastor in NewHaven. Meehan oversawflocks consisting primarilyof minorities and the impov-erished - two groups borninto situations in which theymust overcome additionalhurdles not faced by themore fortunate.

“A lot of people get theshort end of the stick,” Mee-han said.

The priest retold one storyof an African Americanmember of his church. Theminority set up an appoint-ment to view a house for sale.When the man arrived at theproperty and met the realtor,the price of the house sud-denly rose out of the minori-ty’s budget. Suspicious, theAfrican American asked awhite friend of his to viewthe house. The minority’sfriend agreed, and when thewhite man arrived at thehouse, not only was the pricenot higher, it was actually$10,000 less than the originalasking price.

“Many people are able todefend themselves, but whatabout the person not gettinga fair shake?” Meehan said.“And it’s not just about color– what about the husbandand wife with one or two kidsand neither parent has grad-uated from high school?”

Continuing his efforts forminorities, Meehan alsoserved as the ConnecticutCommissioner on Indians inthe 1970s and 80s. Duringthis time, the state’s Mashan-tucket Pequot tribe wasstruggling economically aswell as in efforts for nationalrecognition.

“They were so poor andthey needed something tojust get the reservation start-ed,” Meehan said.

The priest assisted in ef-forts to attain an $180,000grant for the hydroponicscultivation of vegetables onthe reservation. “They didn’teven have enough money topay for gas to attend themeetings in Hartford,” Mee-han said. “The grant was thebreakthrough – people hadjobs on the reservation andcould afford to go out andseek recognition.”

During the weekday after-noons under sunny skies, theseniors from the Joyce C.Budrow Senior Center can befound playing a leisurelygame or two or three of boc-ce. The game has createdstrong bonds of friendships,happiness, and enjoymentand is an outlet for good exer-cise for all who participate.

“I have made several goodfriends and I love the game,”stated Madeliene Bassett, asenior bocce player. “It’s somuch fun, and it makes mefeel happy when I’m play-ing.”

Bocce was invented by agroup of monks in a smalltown in Germany nearly 300years ago. The game wasoriginally played with rocksuntil the monks made ballsout of wood, but the woodwould split when the balls hitone another. Soon the bocceballs evolved to be made outof plastic, which is still usedtoday. Once the game becamepopular in Germany, it wasthen introduced in Italy andeventually came to the Unit-ed States in the early 1900swith the Italian and German

immigrants.“I have been playing the

game since I was five yearsold in Italy. The origins ofbocce have an interestinghistory,” said Albino Conti,an avid bocce player. “I lookforward to playing the gameevery afternoon and spend-ing time with my friends.”

Conti explained that thegame can be played with upto 16 players, but the usualnumber is six to eight play-ers and sometimes as manyas 12. At the beginning ofeach game, two teams arechosen (one is red and theother is green based on thecolors of the balls used) anda small ball called the pallinois tossed to the far end of thecourt. Then each playertakes a turn throwing his orher ball trying to get it closeto the pallino. Sometimes aball that is next to the pallinogets pushed out of the way bya ball from the opposingteam. At the end of eachround after all the balls havebeen thrown, the closest ballor balls from each team getsthe point or points. Original-ly the winning score was 21points but now 11 pointswins the game.

“I started playing bocce

Bocce game creates smiles, laughter, andfriendships for seniors

seven years ago with myfriends here at the center. Itry never to miss a game,”said Harold Norman.

“Watching the seniorsplay this wonderful gamebrings me back to my child-hood and my Italian upbring-ing,” said Sue Jung, programcoordinator at the center.

Jung also explained thatbocce is an integral part ofthe weekly activity schedule.The seniors usually play onthe court that is located inthe back of the senior centerevery afternoon. However,the center is temporarilyclosed due to renovationsand they are occupying theAmerican Legion Hall thatdoes not have a court, so theseniors go by bus to the parkon Carina Road and play thegame on the courts there.

“It’s been working outgreat and everyone seemspleased with the arrange-ments,” Jung said.

The seniors are very atten-tive, competitive, and playthe game well. During eachround, the players ask eachother advice on how orwhere he or she shouldthrow the ball. The score isdiligently kept and recordedat the end of each round. Theteam that is the first to re-ceive 11 points wins, and im-mediately upon the close ofone game, another begins.

No matter what teamwins, everyone agrees that itis an enjoyable recreationalpastime spent with wonder-ful friends who fill the boccecourt with friendly smilesand cheerful conversation,laughter, and fond memoriesthat will remain even after

the last ball has been thrown.Some of the seniors recalledthe time, about seven yearsago, that they played in boccetournaments with their fel-low seniors from Hamden,Wallingford, and East Haven.They still play the seniorsfrom Wallingford twice ayear in a friendly competi-tion. The teams are made upof eight people—- four menand four women.

“I love to participate inthese tournaments,” Contisaid. “Back in 1943, I startedplaying in competitions andmy teammates and I werestate champions in 1943,1947, and 1948. We playedteams from Hamden, EastHartford, Madison, and Guil-ford, and we also traveledthroughout Connecticut.”

For the seniors, a game ofafternoon bocce has createdspecial friendships that havegrown from teamwork, goodsocialization, and goodtimes. Everyone who throwsa bocce ball is a winner and afriend.

“I play the game because Ican take advantage of beingoutdoors and exercising mymuscles while spendingquality time with people whoI care deeply for,” saidPhilomena Gambardella.

“The seniors fill the boccecourts, the center, and everyother place they go withlaughter, happiness, team-work, and kindness,” saidMaggie Maiden, a secretaryat the center. “May God blessthem for enjoying life and do-ing what they love to do.”

Hospital visitsIf you are hospitalized at

Unless youstipulate that information,your parish clergy cannotask the hospital for yourroom number.

In both hospitals, a team ofarea deacons and Eucharis-tic ministers provide the op-portunity for daily HolyCommunion. In emergencysituations, both hospitalshave Catholic chaplains on24-hour call, since it is oftenimpossible for parish clergyto get to the hospital on shortnotice.Every effort is madeto visit the sick from theparish, but your active coop-eration is now essential tothat ministry.

was legitimate.“Conklin was incredibly

warm and receptive to us,”Regan said. “After that, wewere walking on eggshells.We could not believe that thisjust dropped into our laps.”

“We’re so appreciative ofDeal or NoDeal forchoosing us,”he added.

A a r o nSimnowitz, acasting direc-tor present atthe festival,said that theprogram hasbeen target-ing an arrayof Connecti-cut and EastCoast eventssince its op-erations weremoved to the area. Futurecasting calls will be held atHartford’s Riverfest and NewLondon’s Sailfest, he said, aswell as a variety of otherevents in New York andBoston.

“We like to get a differentdemographic of people,”Simnowitz said. “We’re look-ing for some fun, energetic,and enthusiastic people.”

Many news organizationspicked up the casting callfrom the Irish Festival’spress release and Route 91billboard. Plenty of localscaught word and lined up,hoping that they would fitSimnowitz’s description.Over 1,000 participants filledout two-page tryout forms,which included personalqueries such as “What is themost outrageous thing youhave ever done?” and “Tell usan embarrassing story aboutyourself.”

The casting call began at 2p.m., with the gate opening at11 a.m. Many hopefuls cameearly.

“At least 40 people werethere since 9 a.m.,” Regansaid. “We had 300 people bynoon.”

“One woman camped outsince 8:30 a.m. on Thursday,”Regan added of the Saturdayevent. “It was her 10th cast-ing call.”

to talk about themselves foronly several seconds. Thethree Deal or No Deal castingrepresentatives each sum-moned groups of 10 aspirantsat a time to weathered foldingtables beneath the small tent.The representatives collectedthe tryout forms and pref-aced that they did not want tohear about the recession orthe show, and then callednames from the forms. Uponhearing their names, the

hopefuls took short turns ex-plaining themselves as theyjockeyed around the tablesfor better positioning. Mereminutes later, the aspirantswalked away, dreaming of re-ceiving that call from theshow’s producers.

“They told me that they arelooking for something thatmakes people stand out,” Re-gan said of the representa-tives. “They said that whenthey see it, they can instantlyknow it.”

In order to stand out, peo-ple chose to dress up as cheer-leaders, a clown, or as SantaClause enjoying his off sea-son. One person sang hercase in opera. Most individu-als seeking to be rememberedsimply acted overly excitedand boisterous.

“The people we saw werevery broad,” Simnowitz said.“A lot of people are comingup with great energy and abig smile. Those are the kindof people we like.”

“We’re also looking for peo-ple who deserve the show’smoney,” he added, a fact notlost on the hopefuls as theycommonly stated what theywould do with the top prize ifthey made the show.

“I’d buy a condo and split itfour ways,” Lorraine Demic-co said, nodding at her threefriends accompanying her.

“I’d buy an electric scooterfor my brother and Yankeeseason tickets for me,” saidSandy Mattesini. The tryout

questionnaire also asked par-ticipants an interesting factabout themselves not obviousto strangers. Mattesini an-swered that she drove a fork-lift.

Joanne Demicco said thatshe could use the show’sprize money because she hasbeen delivering newspapersseven days a week, and hasnot taken a day off in years.

Joanne Serio, who donnedplastic novelty glasses,

brought a tryout tape of her-self and a sponge. “It’s toclean the bank out,” shejoked of the latter.

On winning the show’s topprize, Serio said, “I would goto Italy and I would go to aYankee game.”

“I would also buy a newcar,” she added. “I have apiece of junk right now.”

The tryouts lasted aboutthree and a half hours as1,023 people shuffled anx-iously through the tent.

“We’re seeing such greatpeople,” Simnowitz said.“They love Howie and thesuspense of the show.”

“I’m very impressed withthe turnout,” he added after-wards. “It was very good.”

Half a dozen of the IrishFestival’s organizers triedout for the show, but not Re-gan, who said that playinghost had sapped him of hisenergy. Also, he did not wantto take away from thechances of those lined up,some of whom he hopedwould make the show fromhis organization’s festival.

“I think they all have achance,” he said, “A slim one,but just as slim of a chanceas we had in the show findingus and deciding to hold acasting call. If we won, whycan’t they?”

Hamden Hall Country Day School’s Head of SchoolBob Izzo, at right, congratulates North Haven resi-dent Sean Smith, winner of the school’s 2008 tuitionraffle – one of the first of its kind in the state. Duringthis difficult economic era, the State of Connecticutdeveloped an innovative way to help families payfor the rising cost of education. The Department ofRevenue Services (DRS) adopted new gaming reg-ulations allowing tuition raffles to be conductedlegally. This is especially important to families ofhigh school seniors now facing the increasingcosts of college tuition, but is also a good way tostart a college fund for younger children since theprize money does not have to be used immediately.With this program, the prize may be used for any ac-credited independent K-12 schools, colleges, oruniversities in the U.S.Those interested in participating in the 2009 tuitionraffle, which will award a first and second prize of$25,000 each, may contact Marilyn Hewitt at (203)752-2620 for details.

Freda’s Focus:A vision for the future, cleanup efforts will lead to productive siteA couple of week’s ago, I

had the opportunity to take atour of the old Upjohn site

here inN o r t hHaven. Thistour wass p o n s o r e dby the PfizerC o r p o r a -tion, a com-pany that Ihave had

some experience with be-cause of the fact that theypurchased a client of my

company in 2003, the Phar-macia Corporation.

That acquisition in 2003represented some very bignews that ended up benefit-ing both Pharmacia and Pfiz-er because it created a corpo-ration that became one ofthe world’s largest pharma-ceutical research compa-nies. You may recognize Pfiz-er by some of the brands thatthey produce including Be-nadryl, Celebrex, Viagra,Zoloft, and Lipitor.

The tour that was given of

the old Upjohn site, nowowned by Pfizer, focused inon the corrective measuresthat Pfizer has been doingwith the remediation of thesite to clean up the contami-nation that has existed there.The Upjohn site had ceasedoperations in 1993. WhenPfizer acquired the Pharma-cia company in 2003, theyalso assumed the responsi-bility of the former Upjohnsite because Pharmacia hadmerged with Upjohn in 1995,two years after Upjohn

closed down the site here inNorth Haven.

I was very impressed withthe cleanup measures thatPfizer has implemented and,throughout the tour, mymind was visualizing a fu-ture development plan onthis site when all the correc-tive measures have beencompleted and sanctioned.The investigation and cor-rective measures on this sitehave gone through thestrictest of scrutiny from theConnecticut Department of

Environmental Protectionand the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency. I am veryhappy about that scrutinyand how serious Pfizer isabout this project. I am alsopleased because of all of thehard work of some of ourNorth Haven citizens downthrough the years, in partic-ular, Annette and Rico Gat-tilia, who 30 years ago start-ed this process with atremendous amount of

Congresswoman Rosa L.DeLauro (Conn. – 3) remind-ed students and their fami-lies that new benefits go intoeffect on July 1, 2009, to helpmake college more afford-

able for stu-dents andmake stu-dent loansmore man-ageable torepay. Theb e n e f i t swere estab-lished underthe College

Cost Reduction and AccessAct, enacted in 2007, that pro-vided an additional $20 bil-lion in federal student aid forstudents at no additionalcost to taxpayers.

“Education has alwaysbeen the doorway to opportu-nity in this country. Yet formany Americans, paying forcollege has become evenmore burdensome. That iswhy we fought for the stu-dent loan benefits in the Col-lege Cost Reduction Act,”said DeLauro. “With lowerinterest rates and higher PellGrant Scholarships, it willmake college more afford-able for students. And for re-cent college graduates whoare preparing to enter on ofthe most difficult job mar-kets in years for young work-ers, these benefits will makea significant differencewhen they begin repayingtheir student debt.”

The average student nowgraduates with over $22,000in total student debt, includ-

ing federal and private stu-dent loans. This year’s classof graduating college seniorsalso enters one of the tough-est jobs markets in decadesfor recent graduates. Of the1.2 million jobs lost last year,60 percent were held by work-ers aged 25 or younger. Theirwages may also suffer. Econ-omists have found that work-ers who graduated during re-cessions typically earn lessover a lifetime than workerswho graduate in better eco-nomic times. Many borrow-ers already spend high per-centages of their paychecksmaking student loan pay-ments – and it’s only likely toget worse.

Given these challenges, itis critical that current col-lege students, new or soon-to-be graduates, and workersknow about new benefits go-ing into effect July 1 that willmake student loan paymentsmanageable for millions ofAmericans.

They include:— Cheaper interest rates

on need-based (subsidized)federal student loans. OnJuly 1, the interest rates onsubsidized federal studentloans will decrease from 6percent to 5.6 percent. This isthe second of four annualcuts in this interest rate; itwill continue to drop until itreaches 3.4 percent in 2011.

— Reasonable and afford-able monthly college loanpayments for borrowers. OnJuly 1, a new Income-Based

New benefits make students loansmore manageable

courage and perseverance.The project is now to the

point where the correctivemeasures that are beingdone are part of a regulatoryprocess that will end withthe selection of a site-widecleanup plan that will haveto be approved in the end bythe DEP and the EPA. Onceall of this is completed in the

next few years, the goals andobjectives will include fu-ture use of the property andpositioning the property asan asset to North Haven andthe Quinnipiac River region.

Opportunities there couldinclude commercial develop-ment on the old parking lotin which I could also see amajor corporation movinginto a significant amount ofcorporate office space thatcould also be built. The otheraspect of this site is thatthere could be a significant

amount of land availablethat we could work with ourNorth Haven Trail Associa-tion to establish walkingtrails and develop this areafrom an aesthetic standpointwhile still preserving a niceportion of the land from anopen space standpoint inconjunction with our NorthHaven Land Trust.

Once the remediation iscompleted in the next fewyears, and the site is ap-proved by those very impor-tant environmental and reg-

ulatory agencies, I can see avery productive future there.Each and every one of youwill certainly have the op-portunity next year to attenda public hearing to listencarefully to the correctivemeasures study and to com-ment and voice your opin-ions about the study and thefuture use of this site.

No need forluxury projectsTo the editor:

The way our state fundsour towns and cities needs tobe changed. Currently thereis state funding in place sup-porting luxury projects.Funding luxury projects is awaste of taxpayer dollars.Often projects are made a lotbigger than they actuallyneed to be and this wastestaxpayer dollars, as well.

We have a perfect exampleof this in the town of NorthHaven. A few years ago,there was an ongoing projectto improve the walkwaysaround Town Hall by in-stalling bricks in walkwaysthat needed repair. This wasa painstaking time consum-ing process. The old saying“time is money” applies tothis project. As part of fund-ing the project, black ironrailing had to be installedalong the stretch of ChurchStreet. The railing was partof the package. The railingserves absolutely no purposeat all and is only a hindrancewhen removing snow in thewinter. The bricks will lockin ice, will work up and willneed to be reset, so it is high-er maintenance than plainconcrete sidewalks that lastfor many years. The inlaidbricks look nice, but that is aluxury item we could havedone without. Like the rail-ing, the bricks serve no pur-pose.

The state receives moneyfrom taxpayers throughoutthe state. Some of the moneyis redistributed to towns andcities to support projects ac-cording to the needs oftowns and cities. Often a

town/city feels that statefunding is an entitlement toget projects done. Sometimesunneccessary projects arestarted without regard tothat it wastes taxpayer dol-lars. This sidewalk/railingproject was clearly an abuseof taxpayer dollars funding aluxury project. Only the ba-sic repairs should have beendone to the sidewalk.

It is not my concern whichadministration is to beblamed for this recklessspending. Our sidewalks atthe time, needed repair.Funding should be availableto get the project done in amanner to serve our basicneeds. Anyone who wants aluxury project can start anindependent fundraiser tocover the cost overruns forthe cost of luxury items, in-cluding additional labor.

The state, together withtowns and cities, has an obli-gation to see that the basicneeds of the public are takencare of. The way funding ofprojects is documentedwastes taxpayer dollars.Imagine, if luxury itemswere not included in projectsand the projects were down-sized, more money would beavailable for other things.Again, this is mismanage-ment of taxpayer dollars andwasteful government spend-ing. We need reform of ourtown/city funding policies.

focus on the positive.My thanks to our select-

man, Mike Freda. Recently,he spearheaded a projectthat would assemble impor-tant community informationinto a handy resource guidefor North Haven’s senior citi-zens. In this booklet, there’sa valuable and wide array ofinformation to assist seniorswith their daily lives. I re-ceived my copy, and I mustsay that it is excellent andwas done at no cost to thetown. My thanks to Mike forremembering the seniorsand for working to help us. Ialso thank everyone who as-sisted with the effort.

Especially in tough eco-nomic times, I am sure thatthis was not easy to accom-plish. Great job!

A disappointingadministrationTo the editor:

I supported and voted forJanet McCarty but unfortu-nately I find myself agreeingmore and more with a lot ofthe negative letters and newsarticles appearing since shetook office.

This past week a letterwritten by Kevin SullivanSr., appeared in the June 25issue and I have to agreewith everything he pointedout regarding the Palmeriand Ierardi’s legal issues.They are all going to walkaway with our taxpayers’money and laugh all the wayto the bank.

Ms. McCarty has not stoodby one campaign promiseshe made. She has followedin the footsteps of the previ-ous administration by hiring

the daughter of one of herDemocratic associates. Shedid not stand firm and let thecourts decide on raises forsome town employees, she al-lows herself to be intimidat-ed by those around her. I ex-pected Ms. McCarty to take amore aggressive standagainst business as usualpolitics and the old boy net-work that prevailed in townfor so long. What happenedto all the good ideas thatwere suggested? The doublestandards will never changein politics, but my votemight.

I hope the Democratic par-ty or an independent candi-date with some backbonecan pick up the torch andrun because we certainly donot want to go back to whatwe had under the Republi-cans’ non-leaders.

My only hope would bethat Ms. McCarty tries toright the wrongs that she hascreated with her administra-tion. Maybe it isn’t too late tocorrect some of those poordecisions. Her administra-tion has so far disappointeda lot of people.

Thanks fromKacey RoseFoundationTo the editor:

On behalf of the KaceyRose Foundation, I wouldlike to take this opportunityto express our gratitude tothe Connecticut General As-sembly for the passage of HB6678: An Act Concerning Re-visions to Department ofPublic Health LicensingStatutes. This large publichealth bill includes a section

that will help ensure that ma-ternity patients in Connecti-cut are educated about all oftheir options regarding um-bilical cord blood banking.

Many parents-to-be do notrealize that they have the op-tion to donate umbilical cordblood to a public bank ratherthan allowing it to be discard-ed. The Kacey Rose Founda-tion is committed to raisingawareness regarding cordblood donation. Umbilicalcord blood contains life sav-ing elements that can be usedto treat many different dis-eases. Cord blood stem cellsmay provide an alternativeoption for transplants whenpatients can not find a suit-able bone marrow match.

In 2007, two-year old KaceyRose Mitchell was diagnosedwith an aggressive form ofleukemia; after multiplerounds of chemotherapy, herparents were told that sheneeded a bone marrow trans-

Clintonville ElementarySchool held its year endpicnic on Sunday, June14. The event featuredlots of food, games, facepainting, DJ, dancing andraffles. Both retired prin-cipal Mrs. Grantham, andnew principal Mrs. Dowl-ing attended and had funbeing “stuffed” with bal-loons.

Clintonville picnic caps off another year


Repayment program will gointo effect that caps borrow-ers’ monthly loan paymentsat just 15 percent of their dis-cretionary income (15 per-cent of what a borrowerearns above 150 percent ofthe poverty level for theirfamily size). Any current orfuture borrower whose loanpayment exceeds 15 percentof their discretionary in-come is eligible. After 25years in the program, bor-rowers’ debts will be com-pletely forgiven.

— Higher Pell Grant schol-arships that cover the aver-age tuition at public universi-ties. Due to funding providedby both the College Cost Re-duction and Access Act andthe American Recovery andReinvestment Act, the maxi-mum Pell Grant scholarshipfor the 2009-10 school yearwill be $5,350 – more than $600above last year’s award.

In addition, students andborrowers will be able to con-tinue to take advantage ofother recent programs enact-ed under the law that willmake it easier for graduatesto go into public servicefields while grappling withstudent debt. To encouragemore students to becometeachers, the law providesup-front tuition assistance,known as TEACH Grants, of$4,000 a year – for a maxi-mum of $16,000 – to studentswho commit to teaching highneed subject areas in highneed schools for four yearsafter graduation (Thesegrants first went into effectfor the 2008-09 school year).

Recent surveys also showstudents’ interest in publicservice jobs is surging. Grad-uates who enter into publicservice careers, such asteachers, public defendersand prosecutors, firefighters,nurses, non-profit workersand more, will be eligible forcomplete loan forgiveness af-ter 10 years of qualifyingpublic service and loan pay-ments (This program beganon Oct. 1, 2007).

Who benefitsThe interest rate cut…— Nationwide, about 5.5

million students borrowneed-based federal studentloans each year. According tothe Congressional ResearchService, half of these bor-

rowers come from familieswith incomes between$26,000-68,000.

— About 38 percent ofAfrican-American studentstake out need-based studentloans each year.

— About 25 percent of His-panic students take out need-based student loans eachyear.

The Income-Based Repay-ment program…

— While it’s difficult to es-timate an approximate num-ber of borrowers who couldparticipate, at the end of2008, there were almost $556billion in outstanding feder-al loans, representing almost95 million student loans tomore than 30 million borrow-ers. In 2008, about 8.9 millionstudents borrowed federalloans.

The Pell Grant scholar-ship…

— About six million stu-dents received the Pell Grantscholarship for the 2007-08school year. Of these stu-dents, 75 percent had familyincomes below $30,000.

— About 47 percent of allAfrican-American studentsreceive Pell Grant scholar-ships each year.

— About 37 percent of His-panic students receive thePell Grant scholarship eachyear.

Who qualifies for in-come-based repayment

— Borrowers who current-ly are paying back federalstudent loans and new bor-rowers, whose debt exceeds15 percent of their discre-tionary income. Borrowerswith hefty debt loads or low-paying jobs are most likely toqualify.

— The program covers allfederal loans – both Directand Federal Family Educa-tion loans – made to stu-dents, including Stafford,Grad PLUS and federal con-solidation loans, but notthose made to parents (PLUSloans). Perkins loans are alsoeligible if a borrower consol-idates them into a FFEL orDirect Loan.

— A borrower must alsohave enough debt relative totheir income to qualify for areduced payment. If a bor-rower earns below 150 per-cent of their poverty level fortheir family size, their pay-ment will be $0. If they earnabove it, their payment willbe capped at 15 percent ofwhatever their income isover that amount.

tribe received federal recog-nition in the early 80s, andopened Foxwoods Casino in1992.

Meehan also spent twodecades as a member of theConnecticut Board of Jus-tice Education Center, wherehe helped work on alterna-tives to incarceration, aswell as programs for ex-con-victs.

“We looked at ways to re-habilitate individuals ratherthan have them become re-cidivists,” Meehan said.“The idea being to help peo-ple who have for one reasonor another - most likely dueto their own fault - made amajor mistake and want toget back on their feet.”

“There is a major differ-ence between being pun-ished again and beinghelped,” Meehan continued.“It’s hard to get a job afterprison – it’s less hard afterrehabilitation.”

Meehan listed as an exam-ple a former altar boy of his– Warren Kimbro. Handed alife sentence for the infa-mous execution of fellowNew Haven Black Pantherand suspected police inform-ant Alex Rackley, Kimbroembraced rehabilitation inprison and would later at-tend Harvard Universityupon his eventual release.Before he recently passedaway, Kimbro served as CEOand president of ProjectMORE, a New Haven non-profit organization that pro-vides rehabilitation servicesto ex-convicts.

Meehan said that anotherpart of the motivation be-hind his advocacy for the dis-advantaged is his sense ofgrowing up opposite those hehelps. “I’ve always consid-ered myself to be privi-leged,” Meehan said. “I wasnever well off, but I was nev-er poor. I’ve lived in wonder-ful towns and had a lot ofgood teachers, with my dadbeing the best.”

And it’s the father’s fatherwho seems to have long ago

set Meehan down the road tosuch altruistic advocacy.“My father would tell me, ‘Ifyou can’t say somethinggood about a person, thenkeep your mouth shut,’”Meehan said. “If you can’tsay something good, it’s yourfault, not theirs.”

This axiom has servedMeehan well in his years ofseeing through to people’sgood and potential. “If some-body did something wrong,all of a sudden you can’t givethem a second chance?” Mee-han said.

“The key to it is that some-times you take a gamble onsomebody and they fail you,”Meehan continued. “Othertimes it pays off 100 fold.Most of the time it pays off -when you lose once in a whileyou say ‘ok’ and move on.”

Meehan was flush with ad-ditional stories of times hetook chances for other indi-viduals and they camethrough, including Meehanpupil Thomas Chapman, atop basketball player fromHillhouse High School inNew Haven. Meehan saidthat Chapman was attract-ing attention from big schoolbasketball programs, butnone would guarantee tocontinue his scholarshipshould he fail to remain onthe basketball team. Meehanlooked around for Chapmanand came upon St. Anselm’sCollege in Manchester, N.H.The college agreed to guar-antee the scholarship re-gardless, and despite Chap-man’s reservations about po-tentially being the only blackman in campus, he attendedMeehan’s choice.

Chapman would breakmany of the St. Anselm’sbasketball records and alsoachieve academic success.From Hillhouse and an ob-scure college in New Hamp-shire, Chapman then attend-ed Yale University and re-ceived a master’s degree inpublic health. Finally, he se-cured a doctorate of educa-tion from George Washing-

ton University.Following the principles

of Meehan, Chapman tookan assistant job at the impov-erished Greater SoutheastCommunity Hospital inWashington, D.C. The failingfacility was located acrossthe street from lower incomeapartments, and Chapmandiscovered that the poor con-ditions of the housing wereforcing many of the tenantsto seek shelter and warmthwithin the hospital, takingup valuable space. Chapmansuggested that the hospitalpurchase the apartmentsand improve the conditions –it did and the hospital soonsaw great improvementswithin its halls. A year later,Chapman was named presi-dent of the Greater South-east Community Hospital.

Meehan’s pupil would lat-er become president ofGeorge Washington Univer-sity and hold a number ofother prestigious positions.Meehan reconnected withChapman when Yale wasplanning to give the AfricanAmerican an award as a topalumnus of their publichealth program.

“They called me and saidthat he was insisting that Igive the award to him,” Mee-han said.

Chapman also penned thebook “Management Learn-ing Experiences of CEOs.” Acopy of the work now restedon the coffee table beforeMeehan. Inside, Chapmanhad scribbled a message tohis mentor, “To the bestteacher and manager I everhad.”

Meehan retracted whenthe note is read out loud.“When you help people, youget unbelievable results,” hesaid modestly.

As the interview ended,the subject of this articlecame up. “Don’t make it tooelaborate,” Meehan begged.The natural altruism of St.Therese Church’s pastormade the request quite diffi-cult.

“I let him go onto thefield,” Carol joked of herhusband. “What kind of wifewould I be if I didn’t?”

When the time came forDavid to throw a baseball infront of tens of thousands offans, he had no fear. In addi-tion to his athletic experi-ences, David said that hepracticed in preparation forthe first pitch, throwing sev-eral hours a day over thecourse of many days withhis younger brother Alex.All the practice worked tobuild up his confidence forthe big moment.

“I knew I would throw astrike,” he said. “I am a goodpitcher.”

The ball itself was anoth-er souvenir for David – it hadbeen signed by Santana.David’s father said that hisson had dropped the ballonce before he threw it, butdid not scuff the signature ofthe two-time Cy Youngaward winner. Having sur-vived being dropped andpitched intact, the ball isnow in a protective case withthe Reyes bat, Alan said.

Standing in the middle ofa state-of-the-art stadium,hundreds of television cam-eras, and a sea of 30,000

screaming fans, David sa-vored the moment. Then hedid what for many otherscould only be a dream. Hesent a baseball twice overCiti Field’s homeplate for strikes,the ball poppinginto Manuel’sawaiting glove.After he hurledthe pitches, Davidraised his hat tothe crowd for anencore - the waySantana would af-ter yet anotherdominant per-formance.

“He’s a realham,” Alanjoked.

David and hisdad strolled offthe field andwound their waythrough the play-ers and person-nel-only hall-ways. They tooktheir seats, three rows backin centerfield, and the Metswent on to clobber the Cardi-nals behind Wright’s fourhits.

“It was an awesomenight,” Alan said. “Davidsaid that he brought the Metsluck.”

“It was just an all aroundawesome night,” Carol said.“David felt like a rock star.”

“The baseball game was somuch fun,” David said,adding that he was excitedfor all the interviews beforeand after the game.

Fresh off his pitching per-formance, David has been re-laxing at a summer camp onMartha’s Vineyard.

In his spare time, heshould consider hiring asports agent - the Mets, re-cently beleaguered by in-juries and fresh off a sweepby the cross-town Yankees,may just put a call in to thestrike-throwing NorthHaven resident.

Support Big Y,local businessesTo The Editor:

Local 371,U.F.C.W.,AFL-CIO is distributing a flyer inNorth Haven asking you toboycott BIG Y Supermarketbecause they are a non-union

employer. Big Y does pay fairwages, and people are free todecline employment there ifthey would prefer to payunion dues for the privilegeof working somewhere else.

There was a time, about 75years ago, when unions weredesperately needed. Ameri-cans were not being treatedfairly by greedy companyowners. The unions are to beapplauded for fighting forthe worker. But today the op-posite is true. Unions havebecome so powerful thattheir demands have finan-cially destroyed General Mo-tors, with the assistance ofour federal government.Corporations all over Ameri-ca live in fear of the power ofthe union.

It was comforting to be-lieve the massive problemsand power grabs coming outof Washington were faraway, but now they are inNorth Haven. A union is urg-ing you not to shop at anAmerican-owned businessthat chooses not to be aunion employer. The right tochoose is so basic I am speak-ing out in opposition of Lo-cal 371 and their boycott.

Please support Big Y, aswell as all other local busi-nesses. They need all thehelp they can get from us.Our government is doing allit can to put them out of busi-ness and now, so are theunions.

Patriots and ScoundrelsEditor’s note: The North

Haven Citizen will feature acolumn written by residentPaul Colella. Patriots andScoundrels will tell the histo-ry of North Haven during theperiod between 1789 to 1850.Narrated by a fictional char-acter – Charity Chastine – thecolumn will tell the story ofimportant historical figuresand events of the town.

Part XMrs. Kensington returned

to the room and with a lookof vexation upon her faceand demanded an explana-tion for what was takingplace. Before the stranger orthe colonel could speak, Iquickly came up with a ficti-tious story and I prayed thatit would satisfy those whowere inquiring. I explainedthat I was partaking in agame of hide and seek withCharles and I startled thecolonel when he unexpected-ly came upon my hidingplace. I further said that Iwas not in harm’s way andthe colonel’s sudden and ir-rational reaction made theoutcome seem more seriousthan it actually was.

Upon hearing my story,Mrs. Kensington instructedthe stranger to releaseColonel Parker. The colonel,feeling embarrassed, angryand somewhat relieved, gotup and gave a nasty look tothe stranger. He thengrabbed a canister of winewith a glass and went intothe next room shutting thedoor behind him. Mrs. Kens-ington, with a solemn ex-pression upon her face, in-troduced me to the stranger.

“Charity Chastine, pleasemeet Lt. Michael Bradford.Lt. Michael Bradford, this isCharity Chastine,” said Mrs.Kensington.

After the introductions,the lieutenant was verycharming while still main-taining a tough appearance.He apologized for acting veryswiftly, but from what he hadobserved he assumed that Iwas in need of assistance.While he was speaking, Icould not stop looking at hisgorgeous blue eyes. Mrs.Kensington told Lt. Bradfordthat Dr. Greenville was inneed of his assistance. Hegave me a modest smile andtold me that it was a pleasureto make my acquaintance,

and then he left.Charles then came run-

ning into the room with hisarms open wide to embraceme. His embrace made mefeel happy and helped me toforget about my situationjust minutes before. Char-lotte followed Charles, andshe announced that dinnerwas being served in the din-ing room. Mrs. Kensingtontold us to go ahead and shewould join us momentarily.After we had left, Mrs. Kens-ington sought out the colonelwho was in the next roompartaking in his wine.

“Filling your belly withwine and getting into adrunken state. How typicaland pathetic that is of you. Imust warn you that I do notaccept Charity’s story and Iknow that she is concealingthe truth to protect you orshe’s afraid of you. Whatev-er the reason is, I order youto leave her alone or nexttime I will have Lt. Bradfordfinish what he started.”

The colonel retaliated bysaying that before the lieu-tenant could get a hold ofhim, he would tell Charlottethe truth about her fatherand then he would informthe authorities and herfriends and neighbors thathis mother-in-law was a de-voted Loyalist in disguise,who if she had her way,would have King George IIIregain control of the formercolonies. He further remind-ed her of what happened toseveral Loyalists from NorthHaven, Philemon Blakeslee,Abraham Seeley, and Dr.Phineas Clarke, who fled tosave their lives while theirproperties were confiscated.The most unforgettable Loy-alist was Mrs. Kensington’sdear friend Joshua Chandler,who fled with the Britisharmy in 1779. After the war,Joshua tried desperately toreclaim his 263-acre farm inNorth Haven and other pos-sessions that were taken.However, while on his way topresent claim for his confis-cated property, he and hiswife Sarah perished in ashipwreck off the coast ofNova Scotia.

When the colonel finished,Mrs. Kensington with a pok-er straight face and extremecontempt in her eyes wassilent for a moment and then

spoke. “It will be over yourdead body,” she replied.

She then gracefully leftthe room to join us in the din-ing room. The colonel didnot join us, but instead re-treated to a private areawhere he found comfort witha bottle of wine.

Charlotte excused herselfafter dinner and went to putCharles to bed while Mrs.Kensington and I returned tothe drawing room where weengaged in polite conversa-tion. Mrs. Kensington, beingvery forward with her pol-ished manners, offered me aposition as Charles’ gov-erness. She told me that Iwould be very attentive tohim and from what she hadobserved Charles was veryfond of me. She also ex-pressed concern for meworking at a tavern for itwasn’t a proper position fora young girl like me. She of-fered me a handsome wagewith lodging at KensingtonHall. Although her offer wasvery attractive and tempt-ing, I had reservations aboutaccepting it, especially thethought of being under thesame roof with the colonel. Igraciously told her that Ineeded time to ponder my de-cision, but it would soon beforthcoming.

I departed soon after hav-ing a cup of tea with my love-ly hostess. While on my wayback to Andrews Tavern, Ikept thinking about thestrange occurrences andshocking conversations I hadwitnessed at KensingtonHall. I also thought about myintriguing encounter withthe lieutenant which pleasedme very much despite the cir-cumstances for our meeting.

When I arrived at the tav-ern, Mrs. Andrews andDavid were there. Mrs. An-drews gave me a report onGrace who she saw earlier inthe evening. Then she andJesse went to visit a neigh-bor leaving David and mealone. When David inquiredabout my afternoon at thefair and my visit at Kensing-ton Hall, I told him that itwas enjoyable, but never re-vealed the true story. I alsotold him of Mrs. Kensing-ton’s offer which he was notvery pleased to hear about.

“Are you going to acceptthe position? Don’t forget

that you are needed here, es-pecially now that Grace is illand cannot be of assis-tance,” David said.

I told him that I neededtime to decide. It was gettinglate so he decided to leave forhome. I walked him outsideand waved goodbye as heslowly disappeared into thedistance. As I was about to goinside, a cool breeze began toblow and as I looked over myshoulder, I saw the ghostlycouple making their wayinto the woods. I shut myeyes for a moment in thehopes that my mind wasplaying tricks on me, andwhen I opened them, the cou-ple was gone. Feeling a bituneasy and alone, I hurriedinside and closed the doorbehind me. Then I went up-stairs to get ready for bed,unaware of the frightfulevent that would very soontake place.

Meanwhile, on the otherside of town at SingletonLodge, Monsieur andMadame Monnerat were en-joying a game of cards whenan unexpected visitor paidthem a evening visit. Whenthe maid announced the ar-rival of Colonel BenedictParker, Monsieur Monneratdropped the cards he washolding and immediatelyrose from his chair. Both heand his wife were surprisedto see the colonel who en-tered the room in a drunkencondition and collapsed onthe sofa. He then informedthem that he had it on goodauthority that Mr. Kensing-ton was alive and residing insecrecy under his wife’s or-ders at Kensington Hall.Upon hearing this, Monsieurand Madame Monneratwanted to hear more details.They attentively listenedwhile the colonel babbled onabout how his mother-in-lawhad hired a soldier of for-tune by the name of Lt. Brad-ford to watch over her hus-band who was not in goodhealth as a result of the fire.

“Lady Kensington is al-ways one step ahead of us.We must unveil her deviousplan and put our efforts totask in finding the Marquis,the diamond and the treas-ure map before someone elsedoes and we will be left withnothing,” Monsieur Monner-at said.

While the three of themwere scheming, back at Kens-ington Hall Mrs. Kensingtonalong with her friend Dr.Greenville and their newlytrusted confidant Lt. Brad-ford were plotting as wellcontinuing the web of decep-tion, deceit, and treacherywoven by a group of greedyand dangerous scoundrels.

Back at the tavern, I wasawakened by someone shak-ing me and calling me Lizzie.When I opened my eyes, I wasshocked to see Mr. Higginsstanding by my bed. I imme-diately rose from my bed andtried to get away from him. Icalled out to Mrs. Andrewsand Jesse but they did not an-swer.

“Come Lizzie, we must getout of here. There is a firedownstairs. We must hurryso take my hand,” shoutedMr. Higgins.

I pushed him aside and randown the stairs, and to myhorror the dining hall wasengulfed in flames. Mr. Hig-gins followed me and we bothtried to make our way to thefront door. Desperately wetried to open it, but it wouldnot budge. The smoke and theflames from the fire begansurrounded us and we start-ed choking and gasping forbreath. As we headed towardthe back room, I glanced upand saw a burning beamcome falling down upon us.As I screamed in terror, westumbled into each other andfell to the floor lying helpless-ly trapped while surroundedby a fire from hell. To be con-tinued…

Consumer ProtectionCommissioner Jerry FarrellJr., has simple suggestions tohelp keep air conditioningcosts down.

When installing windowunits, choose a shady spot toincrease efficiency up to 10percent. Also, look for theEnergy Star label whenshopping for a new air condi-tioner.

Start at medium. Don’t setthe air conditioner to a max-imum cool setting immedi-ately when you turn it on. Itwon’t cool the room any

faster, but it will certainlyuse more energy.

Postpone your use of ap-pliances until early morningor late evening. Your air con-ditioner won’t have to workas hard to offset the heat pro-duced by the appliances.

Maintain your air condi-tioner. Dirty, clogged filtersincrease energy use.

Dim the lights. Turn offunnecessary lights in yourhome. Also consider replac-ing incandescent bulbs withcompact fluorescent lights,or CFLs. They use about 75

percent less energy and giveoff 75 percent less heat thanincandescent bulbs.

Create shade. Useawnings, shades, and blindsto keep sunlight from enter-ing your home, especially inwest and south-facing win-dows.

“Summerize” your home.Adding insulation and seal-ing air leaks help keep youcomfortable year-round andcan also lower your energybills by hundreds of dollarsa year. Start by insulatingthe attic or adding to the in-

sulation already there.Use fans. When the out-

side air is cooler than thatinside your home, fans cancome in handy. Vent fansdraw in the cool air and ex-haust the hot air. Windowfans are inexpensive to oper-ate and easy to install.

To boost the chimney ef-fect in which warm air risesand vents naturally, placeone fan blowing in on theground floor, and anotherone blowing out on the floorabove.
