Chief invites public to attendSunday’s state fire parade

Overcoming foreclosureKyle Swartz

The North Haven Citizen

As with municipalities na-tionwide, some homeownersin North Haven have experi-enced the hardships of prop-erty foreclosures during thisdown economic period.

To help locals in such try-ing circumstances, the Boardof Selectmen recently beganworking with ROOF, a re-gional foreclosure aid serv-ice. Representatives fromROOF — Real Options, Over-coming Foreclosure — spokeat the selectmen’s Sept. 6meeting.

“It’s a very difficultprocess to go through,” saidROOF Executive DirectorCarla Weil of foreclosure.“People don’t like to admitwhen they’re in trouble likethis.”

Started in New Haven in2007 by the city’s mayor ofthat time, ROOF is an out-reach organization collabo-ratively comprised of nu-merous similar associations,all with the common goal ofhelping area homeowners introuble. Public-help groupswith which ROOF works in-clude the Connecticut FairHousing Center, Communityand Economic DevelopmentClinic at Yale Law Schooland Neighborhood HousingServices of New Haven

“We originally startedback in 2007 because we were

seeing a lot of data that sug-gested that foreclosures werejust starting to become an is-sue at that time,” Weil said.“Back in 2007, a lot of peoplehad subprime mortgages --mortgages that were eithermuch larger than they couldafford, or with interest ratesthat were suddenly going togo up -- and we helped a lot ofthose people.”

“Our main goal is out-reach,” she added. “Whenthis foreclosure problemstarted, many people affect-ed didn’t want to talk aboutit. They didn’t want to opentheir mail. They didn’t wantto see the problem coming.We wanted to get outreachout there to say ‘you’re notalone and there are re-sources out there which canhelp you’.”

North Haven, too, has beennegatively affected by un-steady trends of the U.S.housing market, fiscal prob-lems which started with theGreat Recession’s beginningin 2007. According to ROOFdata, of 7,667 owner-occupiedhomes in North Haven, 412or 5.4 percent have under-gone foreclosure filings since2008.

And foreclosures have con-tinued with alarming regu-larity in North Haven andsurrounding municipalitieseven into 2012, according to

Five years’ worth of planning culmi-nates this Sunday, Sept. 16 ,when the NorthHaven Fire Department hosts the Con-necticut State Firefighter’s Association129th Annual Parade in town.

“We really want our residents and thepublic to come out and enjoy this fun day,”said Fire Chief Vincent Landisio. “Thatway, we can show the state firefighters thatthe town of North Haven supports fireservice and the North Haven Fire Depart-ment.”

Featuring hundreds of modern and vin-tage emergency vehicles, 20 bands and 100marching units, the parade is a centralevent during three day’s worth of local ac-tivates for the 129th annual observance.

North Haven originally received approvalfrom state officials to host this year’s cele-brations back in 2007, as to coincide withNHFD’s centennial anniversary in 2012.

“We’ve supported this community for100 years, and this Sunday is opportunityfor the public to come out to show supportfor us,” Landisio said.

At noon this Sunday, the procession be-gins at the Middle School entrance on Bai-ley road, heads up Shawmut Avenue, cross-es over onto Church Street and continuesalong Washington Avenue to the fair-grounds, the location of several post-pa-rade events.

“The prime place for spectators to watchthe parade before it heads to the fair-grounds is around the reviewing stand at

The Spirit of 1776Commentary

By Paul ColellaSpecial to The Citizen

It was 1776. The mixture ofrestlesscolonists andnew taxesand restric-tive laws ex-ploded withresults we allknow. TheAmericanRevolutionand the peo-ple famous for their parts init form a solid basis for a U.S.national heritage. The rebel-lious colonists — by nomeans unified even amongthemselves, let alone in theirresolve to break with theCrown — were impelled toinvent a heroic, if recent,past. The Boston Massacreand the Boston Tea Partygave Revolutionary publi-cists an opportunity to dojust that; and once the battlewas joined, each minor victo-ry had to be made into a tri-

The overall situation wasbent into a myth perpetuat-ed to this day — that of theuntrained farmer militiastaunchly strugglingagainst a polished, battle-tempered British army. The

British troops were in factan ill-paid, untried lot, gen-erally recruited from thedregs of English society,while many of the Continen-tals were highly motivatedproperty-owners led by offi-cers who, as veterans of theFrench and Indian War,were well-seasoned guerril-

When the men ofBritain’s 13 colonies inAmerica marched off tofight for their freedom, theywere joining a movement

whose shattering impact onhistory still resounds. Fortheirs was not merely a po-litical revolution: it was arevolution in consciousness,as people who had flour-ished under relative free-dom began to envision a so-

ParadeContinued from page 1

116 Washington Avenue,”Landisio said. “That is wherethe judges from the Connecti-cut Parade Marshals Associ-ation will be judging the

marchers. The lines ofmarchers will be very tightthere.”

After the parade at theWashington Avenue fair-grounds, the public is wel-come to attend the 6 p.m.award ceremony and vendorfair.

“We will be handing out 70trophies, including thenicest antique apparatus, anaward for non-motorized pa-rade entrees, one for the far-thest traveled within Con-necticut to attend, one for thefarthest traveled in general,”Landisio said. “We alreadyknow who won that last one.We have a department com-ing from Kennebunkport,Maine. The award show be-gins at 6 p.m., but that’s flexi-ble, depending on when theparade wraps up.”

“There will be 40-50 ven-dors in the craft fair,” headded. “They will be sellingcrafts, and fire-specific prod-

ucts. There will also be foodvendors, including theNorth Haven Fire Depart-ment. We’re going to be thereselling hot dogs for the pub-lic.”

Emceeing the fairgroundsevent will be WTNH person-alities Gil Simmons andTeresa Labarbera.

“We are all done with theplanning, all wrapped up,”Landisio said.

As with any major paradein town, there will be someroad closures while the pa-rade is underway.

“We realize that this willcause disruption to trafficand may cause inconven-

ience for some people, butwe ask that people bear withus, and celebrate with us, aswe commemorate our 100thanniversary,” Landisio said.“For us, this parade is aonce-in-a-lifetime-opportu-nity. You never get to turn100 again.”

Other events during theweekend include confer-ences for fire professionalsat local schools.

Editor’s note: a former ar-ticle on this subject statedthat the parade was on Sat-urday, Sept. 15. That is incor-rect. The parade is at noon onSunday, Sept. 16. We regretthe error.

1776Continued from page 5

ciety based on inherent hu-man rights, in which the gov-ernment existed to serve theindividual rather than viceversa. The patriots’ call toarms, the U.S. Declaration ofIndependence, might havebeen only a simple brief ofBritain’s abuses and usurpa-tions. Instead, it became asweeping call for peopleeverywhere to demand their

rights as human beings andcreate radical new kinds ofgovernment that guaranteedpersonal liberties, cultivatedopportunity and dispensedjustice to all citizens asequals.

The brand-new nation thatemerged from the War of In-dependence (The AmericanRevolution) had an evengreater need for her own pa-triotic bywords; history heldno precedent for her form ofgovernment, and culturallythe United States was but abranch sawed from the treeof England. The new Ameri-ca stood in need of instanttradition, and starting withBenjamin Franklin, her na-tive sons began to create itfor her. People like Ethan

Allen, Israel Putnam, andPaul Revere became genuinefolk characters. But writersfrom hack pamphleteers andballad mongers to the likes ofLongfellow and Cooper creat-ed many of the tales that wethink of as an integral partof America’s story.

“The Spirit of 1776,” by A.M. Willard, was inspired bythe Centennial in 1876.Willard’s painting is a visualsummation of the courage,hardihood, and patriotismthat we traditionally associ-ate with the winning of theWar of Independence. Andthe eagle has long symbol-ized freedom, power, and vi-sion. It was adopted in 1782as national emblem of theUnited States.

As the nation came uponits Centennial, a new wave ofAmericanism swept overmany writers. The literatureof the time abounds in Revo-lutionary fictions. And whenAmerica celebrated its Bi-centennial, the sentiment ofAmericanism was evenstronger.

Senate rivals talk defense spendingMichael Melia

The Associated Press

The rivals for Connecti-cut’s open U.S. Senate seatare clashing over spendingon defense, an industry thataccounts for roughly a tenthof the state’s economy.

Former wrestling execu-tive Linda McMahon, the Re-publican nominee, says thatshe would try to shield thePentagon from any budgetcuts. On a recent visit togreet workers at Electric

Boat in Groton, she chal-lenged the record of her op-ponent, U.S. Rep. Chris Mur-phy, a Democrat who sup-ports some defense cuts aspart of a larger strategy torein in spending.

Murphy touts longstand-ing support for military con-

tractors, particularly Elec-tric Boat, and his campaignsaid McMahon’s plan wouldjeopardize defense fundingfor Connecticut by swellingthe deficit.

Connecticut has about50,000 defense-related jobswith an economic impact of

at least $25 billion, accord-ing to the state’s Office ofMilitary Affairs. The state ishome of major contractorssuch as jet engine makerPratt & Whitney and heli-copter manufacturer Siko-rsky Aircraft Corp., as wellas hundreds of smaller com-

panies that contribute to de-fense- related projects.

Just outside the barbed-wire fence surroundingElectric Boat’s shipyard,McMahon shook handswith workers, traded jokes

Murphy under pressure to step up fundraisingDon Michak

The Journal Inquirer

The Connecticut Democ-rat running for U.S. Senate,

Rep. Christopher S. Murphy,is insisting he can beat hisfree-spending Republican op-ponent, Linda McMahon, byraising contributions “from

thousands of low donors”here and elsewhere.

As if to hammer homethat point, the congress-man’s campaign last

Wednesday launched what itcalled “a new way to fightback” against the multimil-lionaire former WorldWrestling EntertainmentInc. executive’s ubiquitoustelevision commercials.

It suggested that his“grassroots supporters”drop a coin in a jar each timethey see one and send themoney each week to Murphy.

But some of Murphy’scongressional colleaguesfrom Connecticut are notonly pushing him to step uphis fundraising, but pressur-ing the Democratic Senatori-al Campaign Committee tohelp Murphy by sending notjust bundles of campaign

cash but also veteran politi-cal operatives.

“Blumenthal’s beentelling them it’s not automat-ic,” one member of the dele-gation said last week, speak-ing on the condition that henot be further identified andreferring to U.S. Sen.Richard Blumenthal, who de-feated McMahon two yearsago when she invested $50million from her personalfortune on her campaign.

“But it’s taken two polls,”the lawmaker added, refer-ring to statewide surveyssuggesting that McMahonhad overcome Murphy to

An Ounce of Prevention

It’s never too early

Commentary

By V. Deborah Culligan,RN, MPH

Last summer, we had amajor storm at the end ofAugust, followed by a harshsnowstorm in October.Many people were left with-out power for a day to morethan a week. This summer,many parts of Connecticuthave had powerful summerstorms, again causing ma-jor damage and power out-ages. We don’t know whatthis storm season holds forus, but we have learnedthat a storm can be brief,intense and very disruptiveto our lives. This summer,we have even seen a coupleof tornadoes in Connecti-cut.

We are currently in hur-ricane season (which willbe followed by winterstorms). There have beenmany times when this col-umn has presented infor-

mation on planning foremergencies. Some peoplehave heeded these mes-sages and others have not.Because we have technolo-gy that lets us better trackstorms, watches and warn-ings are issued more fre-quently. The good part ofthis is that you may havemore time to prepare. Thebad side to this is that peo-ple get complacent andtend to ignore warnings, asoften the event does notcome to pass. However, is-n’t it better to err on theside of caution? If you canat least take two or threesimple actions, you maymake your life safer, shoulda hurricane or other weath-

er emergency occur. It’snever too early to prepare.

There are some simplethings you can do to pre-pare for a weather event.

Number 1: You needflashlights and batteries —the more, the better. Keepthem handy, especially inthe bedroom. Put one nextto everyone’s bed. This sim-ple action will help younavigate your environmentmore safely and help you tofind supplies that youmight need. Flashlights aremuch safer than candles.

Number 2: Every homeshould have a battery-oper-ated radio. Should an eventbe widespread or shouldyou need informationabout evacuations or spe-cial instructions, your ra-dio may be your onlysource of information. Be-

Politics versus footballBy Kyle Swartz

Which of two nationalspectacles are more Ameri-cans looking forward to?The return of the presiden-tial election - or the return ofprofessional football?

Both the election and NFLseasons are multiple monthsin length, and conclude withmomentous, globally viewedevents. Even in their earlystages they are generatingendless news stories, soundclips, blog entries, social-net-work comments and punditcolumns in this Internet age.

Curiously, the buzz ofeach would seem to belongto the other.

The 2012 NFL season isn’tempty of politics. Ever sincebecoming league commis-sioner, Roger Goodell hasdisplayed a willingness tomake sport-altering deci-sions. Most famously, he haswielded personnel bans, rulealterations and costly finesto decrease over-aggressivetackles and other forms ofviolent contact. Commend-ably, he wants to limit in-game concussions. Butmany fans and players haveunderstandably protestedthis softening of a sport pop-ular for, and largely definedby, its toughness.

And with more penaltiesfor hard hits, defenses havehad to tone down aggressive

tactics. The result: offensivenumbers spiked up last yearto historic levels. Severallong-standing offensiverecords were surpassed -quarterback passing yardsand tight end touchdowns -by multiple players.

If Goodell wanted to re-make the game with regula-tions, he has succeeded.

Federal politics in itsmodern mode of hyper-par-tisanship increasingly re-sembles a gridiron fieldamidst the fourth and finalquarter. There is little ap-preciation for the oppositeteam. National lawmakersseemingly are interestedonly in implementing theirparty’s policies, and wouldrather no progress thanprogress through compro-mise. In this regrettable sce-nario, nothing is acceptableother than total victory.

This vitriolic competitive-ness has leaked into the on-going presidential season,which bodes to be among thenastiest ever. In an era of 24-hour news cycles and onsitevideos uploading directly toYouTube, campaigns feelthat they must perpetuallyattack the opponent acrossvarious media channels.This is partly why the 2012campaign is so full of out-of-context quotes being used

cause both radios and flash-lights require batteries, besure you keep a supply in thehouse.

Even if you don’t fretabout potential hazards, tak-ing these two actions arepretty simple and can relievea lot of anxiety, especially ifyou have children in thehome. However, should a ma-jor event occur, you may needmore than a flashlight and aradio.

like all-out blitzes againstcandidates, who never in-tended to express whateveroffensiveness the misquotesseem to imply.

All this needless harsh-ness is what turns so manycitizens off of politics.

Whether or not peoplecare about politics or foot-ball, both seasons’ schedulesare now off and running.And with the omnipresentinternet and all its accompa-nying forms of media, avoid-

ing Obama or Romney orBrady or either Manningswill soon be very difficult - ifnot impossible. Even insid-ers and lifelong fans willlament certain aspects aboutthese spectacles, one seasonpossibly for involving toomuch aggression, the otherfor not enough. Thus, wewonder: would politics andfootball benefit by being lesslike the other?

Mrs. Malloy vents, plus politics and warBy Chris Powell

Cathy Malloy, the gover-nor’s wife, vented her re-sentments for a few minuteslast week at the DemocraticNational Convention, tellingan abortion rights groupabout her irritation withnews coverage of the per-sonal and family lives ofpublic officials. She cited re-ports about her recent tick-eting by police for failing towear a seat belt and aboutthe criminal trouble a fewyears ago involving her son,then suffering from a drugproblem.

“People do not appreciatepeople in public life as theyshould,” Mrs. Malloy said.“Americans eat their politi-cians up every day. And thisis a huge problem. Not onlydo we get beat up - our chil-dren get beat up. It’s a toughbusiness.”

Mrs. Malloy’s complainthad been publicized for onlya few hours before she wasapologizing for it in a state-ment issued by the gover-nor’s office, which insistedthat she really considersnews coverage of her andher family to have been fair.

Maybe it has been fairand maybe it hasn’t been.Even when fair, such cover-age can be annoying. Butthere are some consolationsfor the first lady and thegovernor here.

First, the seat belt ticket-ing incident was actuallymore humorous than any-thing else and even a bit up-lifting for showing the im-partiality of law enforce-ment and the lack of specialtreatment for the governor’swife, who, as she griped atthe convention, drives anolder car and has no securi-ty detail of her own.

And second, few peoplepay attention and most ofthose who do soon forgeteverything anyway.

——-One national political

party wants to destroy thesocial-insurance system.The other wants to destroythe private economy and puteveryone on the governmentpayroll or welfare. Both par-ties support perpetual warin the name of defeating aterrorism that was mostly amatter of failure to enforceimmigration law.

From his bellicosity inthe campaign for the Repub-lican presidential nomina-tion, it seems that Mitt Rom-ney can’t wait to get theUnited States into a fewmore wars. But electingRomney may actually be theprerequisite for endingPresident Obama’s stupid“nation-building” war inAfghanistan, where U.S. sol-diers are as likely to bekilled by their supposed al-lies in the Afghan Army and

police as by their supposedenemies, the Taliban.

For as it was with the Viet-nam War in 1969, once a Re-publican president is electedand administration of thewar becomes Republican,Democratic members ofCongress may feel free tostart voting against war ap-propriations. Already mostDemocratic congressmendon’t believe in the war and

support it only because a De-mocratic president is wag-ing it. (To them our futile ca-sualties don’t count.) IfRomney is elected presidentand the Democrats retaincontrol of the Senate or re-gain the House, within a fewmonths the Afghan war mayburn out for lack of appro-priations.

Conversely, with a Repub-lican president and a Repub-

lican Congress, within a fewmonths the United Statesmay be at war not just inAfghanistan but in Zambia,Nepal, Paraguay, and a halfdozen other countries thatcouldn’t find the UnitedStates on a map, much lessthreaten it.

Healing our health care systemBy Deborah Burger

The vast scale of America’s health caresystem is daunting. Maternity wards,emergency rooms, and other facilities op-erate around the clock at most of the na-tion’s 4,000 hospitals. Registered nursesform the backbone of this system, provid-ing triage and treatment.

But this spine is being stretched to thebreaking point. As the president of the na-tion’s largest professional RN union, I’veseen hospital nurses left responsible fortoo many patients in nearly every state —and this problem is only getting worse. To-day’s unsafe nurse-to-patient staffing lev-els are a key cause of 98,000 preventabledeaths each year, according to the Insti-tute of Medicine.

And RNs are leaving the bedside indroves. Unsafe patient staffing is the impe-tus behind this exodus.

Fortunately, there’s a proven solution.

In California, my home state, reasonableRN-to-patient staffing ratios are requiredby law, thanks to the determined efforts ofthe California Nurses Association. After2004, when the law we fought for went intoeffect, hospitals across the state hirednearly 130,000 additional actively licensedRNs. Dramatic improvements to patientoutcomes followed.

Minimum staff-patient ratios are com-mon-sense minimum safety standards. Af-ter all, we expect specific standards forclassroom sizes, airline crews, day carecenters, and nursing homes. Why not forour hospitals?

The hard scientific evidence offers con-clusive proof of the effectiveness and cost-savings of this approach. A 2010 landmarkresearch project, the most comprehensivestudy done on the law, proved what Cali-

fornia’s RNs have longknown — safe ratios are thesingle most effective nursingreform to protect patientsand keep experienced RNs atthe bedside.

The study of 22,000 RNs,led by Linda Aiken, RN, PhD,from the University of Penn-sylvania, compared Califor-nia hospitals to facilities inPennsylvania and New Jer-sey. It predicted that NewJersey and Pennsylvaniahospitals would have 14 and11 percent fewer deaths, re-spectively, if they were tomatch California’s 1:5 ratiosin surgical units.

They also found that Cali-fornia RNs have far moretime to spend with patients,so they miss fewer changesin patient conditions. Moreof California’s hospitalshave enough RNs on staff toprovide quality patient carethan in New Jersey or Penn-sylvania.

Staffing ratios also savemoney by stopping preventa-ble infections, lowering thenumber of medical errors,and helping patients recoverand go home more quickly.

Cost-savings, improved pa-tient care, more nurses —why isn’t this a done dealeverywhere in the UnitedStates? It’s simple: Our cur-rent profit-driven, insur-ance-based system, by itsvery nature, exists to maxi-mize corporate bottom linesand minimize costs such asproviding more nurses. But ahospital that tries to savemoney by skimping onstaffing levels puts its pa-

tients at risk. These are notrisks our patients and theirfamilies should have to en-dure.

That’s why America’snurses are fighting on sever-al fronts to improve care forour patients. We’re makingthe case at the state and fed-eral levels for safe RNstaffing ratio laws that in-clude patient advocacy pro-tections.

National Nurses Unitedalso believes that this coun-try would best be served byextending Medicare to allAmericans. This universalapproach would replace ourcurrent uneven system ofcare that leaves millionswithout access to treatmentand routine checkups. Weare working to make this al-ternative, which would putpatients’ needs first and isthe norm in most of the de-veloped world, a reality.

I look forward to the daywhen RNs will no longer gohome after their shift andwonder if they forgot a vitalmedication or treatment,and patients will not lack ap-propriate nursing care. Fortoo many years, nurses andpatients haven’t had a voice,and insurance corporations,hospital chains, and drugcompanies have called all theshots.

It will take a strong na-tional movement of nursesto heal our ailing health caresystem, and that movementhas arrived.

Julian Martinez helped extendNorth Haven’s lead in the first quar-ter with a hard-fought, 80-yardtouchdown run, which put Maroonand Grey up 14-0. Montano added a

60-yard run expand the Indian leadto 20-0 after one quarter of play. EastHaven did manage to score beforehalftime against a stingy defense ledby Montano, Patrick Edwards andZach Orth. Martinez hauled in thesecond-half kickoff and returned it70 yards for a score. Martinez caughtan extra-point pass thrown by NickPerillie for the conversion. StevenErbe capped the scoring with a 60-yard touchdown scamper. The offen-sive line of Billy Van Nieuwen-huyze, Vinny Campaqnoulo, EricMillard, Luigi Coppola, StevenChamberlain and Eddie Tosado pro-vided dominating run support. The

seventh-grade squad will play inBranford this Sunday the 16th.

The sixth-grade team lost tough,close contest to Madison, 19-6. NoahPastore scored North Haven’s onlytally. The defense was led by AaronBell, Michael Collins and JohnCrispi.

Jaden Watson scored to cap offthe next set of North Haven’s offen-sive downs with a pass from Okwu-osa. That made it 13-0. Joe Hendricks

had a great day at running back,with over 70 yards running and atouchdown which upped the Indianadvantage to 21-0.

Joe Urtel led the offense withlane-creating blocks, and also addedthe final touchdown and a 1-pointconversion to cap North Haven scor-ing at 27 points for the day. The de-fense played well, only allowing 6points. Frankie Squeglia, JadenLuedee, Joe Hendricks and John De-Gregorio all had notable tackles.The fifth-grade team will seeWallingford next week.

HARTFORD - ESPN beganwork last week on a newparking lot on the southernside of its 120-acre campus inBristol.

The sports media giant haspromised more than 200 newjobs over the next five yearsas part of a major expansion,and, spokesman Mike Soltyssaid, it needs somewhere forall its new employees to puttheir cars.

About 70 miles away inStamford, work has begun toconvert the site of a formerClairol factory into the newheadquarters for NBCSports, which is moving 450jobs to Connecticut fromNew York.

And in Hartford, a new golfcable outlet, Back9NetworkInc., is making plans for itsnew downtown studio andheadquarters - bringing anestimated 50 jobs to the stateby the first quarter of 2013.

Sports and satellite dishesmay be doing for Connecti-cut what the computer chipdid for Silicon Valley.

The home of ESPN sinceits inception in 1979, Con-necticut is using large taxbreaks, low interest loansand other financial incen-tives to attract similar com-panies to what is fast becom-ing an industry cluster.

tor at this point is kind ofreaching a critical mass inConnecticut,” said GeorgeNorfleet, the director of thestate’s office of film, televi-sion and digital media. “It’sattracting attention. It’s ex-panding and it’s creatingjobs.”

Back9Network this sum-mer became the latest suchcompany to announce a deci-sion to locate in the state,joining the bigger players -ESPN, NBC Sports, WWE(World Wrestling Entertain-ment, Inc.) - and smaller enti-ties such as the regional YES

(Yankees Entertainment andSports) Network. JamesBosworth, the founder ofBack9Network said he wasdrawn to Connecticut bythe financial incentives, itsproximity to New York, andbecause those other compa-nies already were here.

“All those places have peo-ple who have been exposed tothe best of the best,” he said.“It just makes sense as youbuild an organization thatyou want to recruit the rightbrain trust and people. If allthose people happen to be inthe same geographical loca-

tion, it makes it a lot easierfor you.”

The state also has a real es-tate advantage over other po-tential locations, he said. It isclose enough to take advan-tage of the media center ofManhattan, but with spacethat is much more afford-able.

Yes Network decided tobuild its production centerin Stamford rather than NewYork over a decade ago, andthe location has allowed it togrow, said spokesman EricHandler.

“We established this as a

beachhead, and it’s every-thing we need,” he said.

Soltys said being located inConnecticut also has helpedESPN attract talent. It allowsemployees to choose to live ina rural, suburban or urbansetting and have major cities,beaches and mountains near-by, he said.

The company also hasbeen able expand withoutmoving and uprooting itsworkforce and has found thestate government easy towork with, he said.

“Years ago, back when wewere considering where toexpand, the state created taxlegislation that was support-ive of our growth here,” hesaid. “And they’ve now fine-tuned it for the industry,where they’ve made an effortto do that for all companiesthat are committed to bring-ing permanent jobs.”

Back9Network received anaid package that includes a10year, $750,000 loan at 1 per-cent interest, a five-year,$250,000 job-creation loan at 2percent interest, and a$100,000 matching grant.

It also can take advantageof state laws set up to helpbring media and film compa-nies here that include a 30percent tax credit for expen-ditures made in Connecti-cut.

year were given deals as partof Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s“First Five” program, set upfor the first businesses toagree to create 200 jobs overtwo years or invest $25 mil-lion in Connecticut and cre-ate 200 jobs over five years.

ESPN, which last year an-nounced plans to build a sec-ond digital center in Bristol,received at 10-year, $17.5 mil-lion loan, up to $1.2 million injob-training grants, and up to$6 million in tax exemptions

on capital equipment andconstruction materials forthat expansion.

NBC Sports’ package in-cludes similar tax incentivesand a $20 million low-inter-est loan.

“This new campus isabout bringing people to-gether to maximize produc-tion, creativity and efficientteamwork,” Mark Lazarus,chairman of NBC SportsGroup, said in a news re-lease. “We are creating one32-acre unique location thatallows us to build numerousstate-of-the-art studios,house more than 450 employ-

ees, and prepare for antici-pated future growth.”

Norfleet said he expectsthe industry will continue togrow in Connecticut, andsaid the state is in talks withother sports media compa-nies, but declined to identifythem.

“We recognize the impor-tance of television, andwe’re working hard to pro-vide whatever services suchas locations, direct financialassistance, anything thatmight help a company cometo Connecticut,” Norfleetsaid.

ForeclosureContinued from page 1

ROOF speakers. Weil recom-mended that people whocould face or are dealingwith foreclosure — or thosewho know others who are —contact ROOF to access freeprofessional counseling.

“If you have a housingcounselor, they are dealingwith this every day, they cantell you how to get through itbetter,” she said. “In general,the outcomes for people whowork with counselors arebetter, because you’re work-ing with somebody who hasbeen working through theprocess for a long time.”

“Another statistic is thatthe earlier someone gets infor assistance, the better thechances of maintaining yourhouse, even if you haven’tgone in to foreclosure but itsheading that way,” sheadded. “The worst thing any-one can do is nothing.”

A family going throughforeclosure suffers morethan mere financial hard-ships, as mental and physi-cal health too can deterio-rate underneath the burdensof extra stress, said BriannaGavigan, ROOF CommunityOutreach Coordinator.

“Foreclosure, in general,has a lot of negative impactson families and communi-ties.” Gavigan said. “Andforeclosures decline proper-ty values as a whole. A com-munity with one-to-two fore-closures or blighted homescan see property values go

down as a whole.”“And sometimes when

there’s a lot of foreclosure ina community, it can increasecrime rates, which we, ofcourse, do not want to seearound here,” she added.

North Haven officials firstbecame aware of ROOF a fewmonths ago when First Se-lectman Michael Freda sawtheir presentation at a SouthCentral Council of Govern-ments Mayors/First Select-man assembly.

“This organization, Ithink, can offer a great serv-ice to many of the citizens incities and towns in the area,residents who face the fear ofhaving banks foreclose onthem,” Freda said.

The presentation Fredaoriginally saw hit home.“About a year and a half ago,a local family with four chil-dren — two special needschildren — approached me.They were being evictedfrom their home,” the FirstSelectman said during theSept. 6 municipal meeting.“At that point, it was too latefor any of us to get involvedand help. It struck a veryemotional chord with me tosee this family devastated.”

“Flash forward severalmonths later. I saw the ROOFpresentation and I thoughtback to that poor family inNorth Haven that maybecould have been helped by aprogram like this,” he con-tinued. “This is a very impor-tant thing in cities and townstoday. If we can — in someway, shape or form — provide

additional resources for peo-ple who are in need on thisparticular problem, I thinkthis could be a very valuableresource.”

Besides providing help forpeople affected by foreclo-sure, ROOF also seeks to in-crease resources available.“When we first started, therewere one-to-two foreclosurecouncilors in the greater re-gion,” Weil said. “Now, thereare eight to 10.”

Moreover, ROOF strives toprotect rights of renters, be-cause when banks take own-ership of foreclosed com-plexes, renters can getkicked out immediately. “Wewant to give renters time tofind alternative accommoda-tions before they lose theirhome,” Weil said.

There can be confusionabout Weil’s organizationdue to its acronym name.“People tend to think that wehave resources to repairtheir roofs, which unfortu-nately is not what this isabout,” she joked.

For more information vis-it theroofproject.org or face-book.com/theroofproject.ROOF information pam-phlets are available at NorthHaven Town Hall and TownHall annex, and related in-formation will soon be madeavailable on the town’s web-site.

ROOF has scheduled a freeforeclosure prevention clinicon Tuesday, Sept. 18, in theUnited Way of Milford. Formore information or to regis-ter, call (203) 789-8690 ext. 125.

Virtual tour of an operating roomRotarian Jonathan Martinek recently spoke about his

career experiences behind the scenes in the hospital op-erating room. As a member of the medical device indus-try for over 20 years, Martinek has most recently been oncall as an independent medical contractor in sales andservice for local hospitals. He began by stating, “In thecurrent economic environment, it is not practical for hos-pitals to carry inventory of every possible implant or de-vice that they might need for a given surgery,” addingthat this is particularly true in his area of specialty, or-thopedic joint replacements and trauma.

He further stated, “The complexity of the necessaryproducts and their wide range of sizes mean that a sur-geon may not know what specific implant is needed untilafter a patient is on the operating table and certain criti-cal measurements are taken inside the body. These fac-tors combine to necessitate representatives of the manu-facturers to be on call to deliver products and providetechnical support at a moment’s notice.” He describedhimself as “I’m the doctor’s Snap-on Tool guy.”

Martinek noted that when a patient breaks a bone, thetechnician is contacted by medical authorities and mustbring an assortment of “hundreds of different sizes ofplates, screws and other products” into the hospital.With surgery underway, the doctor takes the appropriatemeasurements and specifies which items are necessary,and the hospital is billed only for those utilized. In clos-ing, he indicated that the unused items are returned tothe manufacturer or to the distributor’s warehouse,adding that beside the on-call delivery service, technicalsupport for the associated instruments and equipment isoften provided.

much more. We even haveprograms and services whichprovide job training and sup-port for developmentally orphysically handicappedadults,” she added.

This past summer, ACEShosted two educationalcamps — Math Counts andWrite Stuff — which providedadditional learning opportu-nities for kids from 18 nearbycommunities, includingNorth Haven.

“They were both two-weekprograms which, hopefully,allowed everyone who attend-ed to take away with them im-proved writing, reading andmathematical skills, plusnew relationships with chil-dren from other places,” saidACES Program DevelopmentDirector Carolyn McNally.“There were about 75-80 kidsat each camp.”

Held in Meriden, MathCounts and Write Stuff placedcampers in hands-on writingworkshops and team-build-ing activities.

“The academic levels ofthe kids ranged. You didn’thave to have a high or lowgrade point average to getinto our camps,” McNallysaid. “You just needed to havean interest in participatingin a summer camp which ed-ucated while allowing you tomeet kids from the surround-ing community. So that when

you come back to school thenext semester, you’re thatmore prepared for what youmight face, like the CMT.”

McNally described MathCounts and Write Stuff asnothing like typical summerschool. “These are academiccamps that are also fun,” shesaid. “Everyone was super-vised by CT-certified teach-ers. With smaller class sizes,kids could receive a more fo-cused one-on-one time. Thiswas the first year for MathCounts and there was a focuson computer skills, socialskills on computers and mathskills.”

“We were thinking, what isgoing to be the workforce oftomorrow?” she added. “Whois going to be in the govern-ment in future years? Thesekinds of skills help for thosetypes of jobs. Future workerswill also have to work togeth-er with people and in an envi-ronment that they’re not al-ways used to. These pro-grams really worked onthat.”

This summer, ACES alsohosted professional develop-ment workshops for areateachers, in which instruc-tors wrote common core cur-riculum standards, Rosetti-Ryan said. Working approxi-mately 9,700 total hours, 162teachers came together tocreate curriculum standardswhich can be accessed onlineby any area teacher. Theseunits of study match up withstate testing standards.

hold a slim lead.A DSCC spokesman, Shri-

pal Shah, declined this weekto say whether the committeebent on keeping the Senateunder Democratic control in-tended to send staffers tohelp Murphy.

But he also vowed that thecommittee would “make sureMurphy has all the resourceshe needs to win this race.”

Murphy, meanwhile, con-ceded after the two polls puthim 3 percentage points be-hind McMahon last weekthat he needed more money.

Yet, when asked if he need-ed to change his strategy,Murphy - who a day before

had sent supporters an ap-peal for $10 donations - saidhe didn’t.

“Our winning game planhas never involved spendingas much money as LindaMcMahon, so we continue toraise money from thousandsof low donors across thecountry and across thestate,” he said. “But we’re go-ing to have to … beat her onthe ground, not on the air,” hesaid, referring to her televi-sion ads.

“Senator Blumenthal gotoutspent 8-1 in 2010 and stillwon,” he added. “And I don’thave the statewide namerecognition that Dick Blu-menthal did. But our spend-ing margin will probably bebetter this year.”

and took at least some ques-tions about her husbandVince McMahon and thefamily’s wrestling business.It was the first stop of athree-day tour of state de-fense contractors.

“I want to make sure wekeep these jobs healthy,”McMahon said.

She also is trying to paint acontrast with Murphy, seiz-ing on his opposition to de-fense spending bills that in-cluded money for submarineconstruction. Murphy has

said he voted against the billsbecause they left an open-ended timeline for the with-drawal of U.S. troops fromAfghanistan.

A Murphy campaignspokeswoman, Taylor Laven-der, said the congressmansees ending the war inAfghanistan as a way tobring troops home and curbspending.

Still, she said Murphy hasbeen a staunch backer of sub-marine construction in Con-necticut, supporting the finaldefense budget this year thatcontinued the construction oftwo Virginia-class attacksubs.
