North Haven’s taxable Grand List for 2013 was $2,810,958,951, a 0.4 increase from last year.

“It’s essentially flat with no significant growth, but any growth is better than a decline,” said town assessor Gary Johns.

First Selectman Mike Freda said the small growth propels North Haven above other area towns, which have

seen Grand List declines. “It’s a first step to a solid fu-ture,” he said.

Residential real prop-erty rose to 1,824,391,729, a growth of more than six mil-lion, which represents 61 per-cent of the total. “The small increase is due to recent con-struction,” Johns said.

Commercial property rose 0.6 percent to $378,614,545, which is also due to new construction. “The new vet-erinarians’ building and new law offices on Montowese

Avenue are responsible for the growth, he said.

There were slight de-creases in industrial prop-erty (minus 1.1 percent) and personal property (minus .4 percent) due to the Pratt & Whitney properties be-ing torn down and United Illuminating moving its of-fices to Orange, Johns said.

Registered motor vehicles rose 3.2 percent to $6,639,881 due to the number of cars and their values increasing, he said.

For years, North Haven residents VJ Peregolise and his wife Cindy, along with their fellow biker friends, would raise money and col-lect needed items for local animal shelters.

B u t i n 2 0 0 7, t h e Peregolises decided to take their two biggest passions,

motorcycles and helping animals, to the next level and founded the organiza-tion Bikers Against Animal Cruelty which is headquar-tered locally.

“We thought, let’s make it official and do some good on a larger scale,” said VJ Peregolise, founder of Bikers Against Animal Cruelty.

B.A.A.C. is not an animal rescue group, but rather a

non-profit that works with various rescue organiza-tions to improve the lives of abused, neglected or un-wanted animals.

“When we first started, we had no idea what we were getting into but we knew we had to do something to make a difference,” said Cindy Peregolise, president and co-

The Board of Education requested a 3.7 percent bud-get increase at its budget workshop with the Board of Finance Feb. 8. The panel is looking for an increase of $1,737,924 over this year’s budget of $46,970,908.

Superintendent Robert Cronin and business Manager Kristine Carling outlined the proposed budget, which in-cludes a four percent in-crease in teacher salaries of $752,000. The money will pay for two new teacher posi-tions, including a high school civics teacher and a teacher for the special education transition program that as-sists students aged 18 to 21 prepare for work after they complete high school.

Carling said five students are projected to be eligible for the transition program this year. Students are cur-rently sent outside of the district for the program that

costs the town $54,000 to $55,000 per student per year, so hiring a local teacher for the program could save the town money.

Other increases for the BOE budget include insur-ance and special education transportation.

When asked about secu-rity expenses, Cronin said $175,000 is planned for cam-eras that will be placed at all school entrances.

First Selectman Mike Freda said the police department will present a plan to the BOE regarding police pres-ence at the schools. There is currently an officer at every school, every day, but many parents are opposed to armed officers on school premises so an alternative plan will be de-veloped. Freda said the town will pay for it, so it is not in-cluded in the schools’ budget.

The Board of Finance is generally amenable to school board budget requests, with Freda saying the town has

Local merchants are gear-ing up for one of the biggest holidays of the year for their specialty items — today, Feb. 14, is the day to treat your sweetheart — and flowers and jewelry are two top sell-ers when it comes to love.

Larry Lazaroff , of Arnold’s Jewelry on Washington Avenue, says this time of year, the shop is “in the love business.”

“Valentine’s Day is really a little different than the other holidays,” he explained. “It’s really more of a one-on-one holiday, which makes it much more personal and certainly more romantic.”

Before making any jew-elry purchase, Lazaroff says it’s always a good idea to do your homework. “It’s always good because it gives us more of an idea what you’re look-ing for and what your fian-cée, spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend is interested in,” he said. “It helps gives us a clearer idea to show them what we have, or what other options we can guide them to, and explain the pitfalls of why this wouldn’t be a good choice, or why this would be a good choice.”

Lazaroff said he’s seen how today’s consumer is quickly becoming more aware of the ins-and-outs of buying jew-elry thanks to the power of information right at their fingertips. “Thanks to the Internet, a lot of men have become more educated on everything, whether it be jew-elry, cars, video equipment, all because of the Internet, which is a good thing because I like an educated consumer,” he said.

Another key step when purchasing jewelry is know-ing what you realistically want to spend. “Jewelry is such a vast price difference,” said Lazaroff. “You can go from a $50 bracelet to a thou-sand dollar bracelet, or more. You have to determine where they’re comfortable at. It’s advantageous to have a price figure in mind of where you’d like to be.”

When it comes to finding that perfect piece of jewelry this Valentine’s Day, Lazaroff

offers a final tip. “It’s always ad-vantageous to shop early and it’s always beneficial if the intended re-cipient has given you even a little bit of a clue of what they like.”

Lazaroff said he expects to see some famil-iar faces this hol-iday, estimating that 80 percent of the family busi-ness comes from repeat customers.

Choosing the right flowers for Valentine’s Day can be a daunt-ing task. Which flowers to get? How many? What style? What does s h e — o r h e —even like? What does the color say about my in-tentions? The an-nual romantic rite of passage can provide plenty of anxiety and head-aches for many.

Florist Luigi Nuzzorillo says the most popu-lar Valentine’s Day flower in 2014 is still the timeless classic. “By far roses,” said Nuzzorillo, owner of Forgot Me Not Flower Shop on State Street. Increasing in popular-ity, in recent years, is assorted colored rose bouquets.

“They usually like the more romantic colors,” he ex-plained, “such as ivory, pinks, lavender and peach.”

An ivory white rose can symbolize purity and in-nocence, pink meaning ap-preciation and grace, peach indicates sincerity and mod-esty, while lavender repre-senting enchantment, or love at first sight.

However, according to Nuzzorillo, when Cupid comes around, one particu-lar color for roses still reigns supreme as the eternal sym-

The town of North Haven renewed its participation in the regional waste collection center, for three years, pro-viding residents with free hazardous waste disposal.

“It protects the environ-ment and saves us money,” First Selectman Mike Freda said. The town pays the South Central Regional Water Authority based on the weight of the refuse but would pay more if it was dis-posed of with regular town trash.

Residents can drop off their hazardous wastes on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon at the South Central Regional Water Authority, 99 Sargent Drive, New Haven.

A variety of items can be dropped off, from aerosols to auto batteries and swimming pool chemicals. No latex paint, gas-grill size propane tanks or electronics can be dropped off.

Paint recycling locations are available at three North Haven paint stores: Painter’s Supply, 301 Washington Ave., North Haven Paint and Hardware, 87 Quinnipiac Ave., and Glidden Professional Paint, 2 Montowese Ave..

The resolution renewing North Haven’s participation in the hazardous waste dis-posal operation runs from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017.

Animals

founder of B.A.A.C.Some of the work B.A.A.C.

does includes providing fi-nancial support to defray the costs of veterinary care for animals in need, working to bring more public awareness to animal abuse and educat-ing the public on responsible pet ownership.

In addition, the group aids in finding foster care, trans-porting animals locally, sup-plying items such as food, blankets, cleaning supplies, and kennels to rescues, shelters or those struggling financially.

“We had visions and dreams of doing this, but it’s better than we ever imag-ined,” Cindy Peregolise said.

B.A.A.C. has 60 members throughout Connecticut, as well as in the Carolinas and Illinois area. Many members discovered the organization through its website. There is a small membership fee.

Peregolise says while its members are primarily bik-ers, there also is a “backup crew” consisting of people who are involved in events

and fundraisers, but don’t ride.

Last year, B.A.A.C., which is 100 percent volunteer run, raised approximately $60,000 dollars through member support and fund-raising events such as Bike Night, Motorcycle Rodeo, and B.A.A.C. Ally Bowling. The organization also re-ceived a $10,000 grant to spay and neuter animals of low-income pet owners or independent rescuers.

“It’s our way to help the overpopulation of unwanted pets,” Cindy Peregolise said.

VJ Peregolise says another goal of this organization was to help dispel rumors about bikers.

“We have found that once people, who might be leery, meet us and start working with us, and their opinions are totally changed,” VJ Peregolise said.

New members are wel-come and they urge anyone who is interested in their group to come to one of their events, meet the people in-volved and see first hand what they are all about.

Upcoming events include

From Page 1 B.A.A.C. Ally Bowling on Saturday, March 1 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Wallingford Bowl. This family friendly event is open to the public. There is a fee which includes unlim-

ited bowling. For more information

Commentary

The S t a t e o f Connecticut has bills to pay, lots of b i l l s . We have roads, schools and hospitals to maintain, police and public works employees to pay, prisons and public institutions to guard, public lands and drinking wa-ter to preserve. We have lots of bills.

The state has also accumu-lated a pretty big credit card bill. In fact, outstanding debt grew by an incredible $1.1 bil-lion under Gov. Malloy.

To be sure, the state of Connecticut wastes a lot of money too. Government bu-reaucracy is costly and we could save money, or put it to better use, if we em-ployed private companies to perform some public du-ties more efficiently and at a lower cost. As one exam-ple, we maintain the region’s only state-run children’s psy-chiatric hospital where the cost of caring for a patient is about double what it would cost for a private non-profit

institution to provide the same quality of care.

Nonetheless, we still have lots of bills, and those bills, like your home utility bills, recur month after month, and year after year.

Knowing this, a respon-sible state budget would account for the annual re-currence of those bills. But, here in Governor Malloy’s Connecticut, that simply is not the case.

For a couple of weeks Gov. Malloy has been celebrating what he calls a “$506 mil-lion budget surplus.” What he usually fails to mention is that the state is facing a $2 billion (with a “B”) defi-cit in 2016 and 2017. What is worse is that the governor is already rumored to be plan-ning to spend that surplus on an election-year tax cut to compensate for the polit-ical and economic failure of having passed the largest tax increase in state history just three short years ago. What the governor is betting on is that your memory is even shorter.

First of all, the governor’s surplus is built on a house of cards. It is the result of using more than $865 million worth of one-time budget items (savings and revenue that we can never count on again) in-

cluding skipping payments on debt for two years, raid-ing the special transportation fund, and borrowing addi-tional money to pay for the day-to-day operation of gov-ernment. This last gimmick is akin to using your credit card to pay your utility bills and then growing that debt by failing to pay the credit card off on time. That’s how the governor built his $506 mil-lion “surplus.” That is also a chief reason why the state will soon face a $2 billion deficit.

Since we cannot take back the irresponsible decisions made by the governor that led us to this point, let us just deal with the facts as we find them:

We have $2 billion in bills to pay next year and the year after; we have a $506 million surplus that was manufac-tured by adding to our debt; outstanding debt grew by an incredible $1.1 billion under Gov. Malloy

The $506 million surplus the governor is celebrating does not look so big com-pared to the looming deficit he has saddled taxpayers with and the record debt he has ac-cumulated; does it?

Isn’t the only responsible way forward one that uses some of the surplus to re-

Beware of election-year ‘surplus’By Sen. Len Fasano

Sen. Len Fasano

duce outstanding debt, while at the same time eliminating government waste and mak-ing additional spending cuts to offset the rest of the state deficit?

If we prioritize carefully, I believe there is also room in the budget for tax relief, par-ticularly for seniors, small businesses and middle class taxpayers. There is no ques-tion that after being saddled with Gov. Malloy’s record tax hike we deserve it. I also support using any additional surplus to replenish the state’s rainy day fund for use in times of emergency. But, please do not be fooled by those who promise tax relief in this election year only by adding to the deficits we face next year and beyond.

State Sen. Leonard A. Fasano (R-34, the Senate Minority Leader Pro-Tempore, represents the communities of Durham, East Haven, North Haven and Wallingford.)

never opposed them except for insurance costs last year that were reduced with a new contract. But this year, the middle school renovation project slated for a June ref-erendum will cost $50 million and lead to a bond that will be paid back over 17 years and increase the town’s debt service.

Freda’s goal is to hold off increases to the town budget in May so the Middle School referendum can pass in June. Board of Finance member Dyann Vissicchio said, “A May budget increase and the Middle School renovation won’t fly.”

When asked if the school district could trim its budget requests, Cronin said per-sonnel and special education cuts could be made.

The BOF will review the schools budget requests and incorporate them into the overall town budget that will be presented to voters in a May referendum.

bol of love. “A red rose is still king,” he said. “It’s still the first choice over colored roses, outselling them, I’d say, by about four-to-one.”

At the end of the day though, whether it’s roses or daisies or tulips, Nuzzorillo believes you can’t go wrong with any kind of flower for your sweet someone. “Whether you send roses or a mixed bouquet, you’re going to be fine because the person receiving the gift is always appreciative,” he said.

The emergence of the Internet has made ordering flowers easier and more con-venient than ever, however while Nuzzorillo embraces the online ordering option, he advises consumers to think locally, and know what you’re truly ordering, where online deals can sometimes end up costing more in the long run with delivery and hidden charges.

To ensure you get exactly what you want when you want it for Valentine’s Day, Nuzzorillo suggests ordering early and avoiding last-min-ute problems or long lines.

“It’s a very substantial day,” he said of the last-min-ute shoppers flocking to flo-ral shops every Feb.14. “Also if you stop by to pick up flow-ers, please feel comfortable. We do not bite.”

Carolina Falanga NORTH HAVEN — Car-olina Falanga, née Bar-ba, and to most people

known sim-ply as “Lina” or “nonna”, died peace-fully and surrounded by her lov-ing family on Wednesday,

Feb. 5, 2014, at Yale-New Haven Hospital, St. Rapha-el Campus, after a brief ill-ness. Aged 92, she was born in Italy on July 3, 1921. Lina was always very giving, kind, and loyal to her family and her many friends. She would always invite friends and family to join her for a cup of her famous espres-so coffee. She also greatly enjoyed her trips to New Smyrna Beach, Fla., and to Italy. Lina had immense moral and physical stami-na and strength, with a life punctuated by both severe adversities and great joys. In her difficult youth she witnessed both the rise of fascism and the horrors of World Word II. Daily bombardments and belli-cose actions by both the German Army and Allied Forces brought her face to face with destruction and the death of family mem-bers and friends. Her own family business suffered as a result of the war, but at one time her father-re-lated family (Giordano) was the greatest exporter of many agricultural products in Europe. She moved to New Haven in 1967, and lived in North Haven since 1971. Lina continued to

follow current events in It-aly through her reading of beloved Italian magazines. She was preceded in death by her loving husband (Pat) of 48 years, who died in 1992. Education was of the upmost importance to her and she was proud of her three daughters and one son. She is survived by her two sisters, Josephine (Pina) Pragano, of North Haven and Carmela Amen-dola (Bart,) also of North Haven; and daughters, Connie, of North Haven (Nicholas Manzi), Maria, of North Haven (John A. Gilchrist) and Rosanna, of Cape Cod (Lou Preziosi); son, Vincent, MD, of Bos-ton, Mass., and daughter-in-law, Anne (Thompson) Falanga, of Boston, Mass. She leaves behind nine grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren; and many nephews and nieces. Without any doubt, Lina and her uncanny ability to provide advice will be missed by many. Private funeral services will be held in St. Therese Church, 555 Middletown Ave., North Haven, Satur-day, Feb. 15, with commit-tal services immediately following in All Saints Cem-etery. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, donations can be made to the long-es-tablished “Falanga Family Scholarship” at the North Haven High School, 221 Elm Street, North Haven, CT 06473. North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Wash-ington Avenue, have been entrusted with the arrange-ments. www.northhavenfuneral.com

North Haven and Wash-ington Ave., H a m d e n , passed away peacefully on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014, at the Regency

House, Wallingford. She was the wife of the late Joseph J. Ferraro who passed on Monday, Jan. 27, 2014. Janet was born in Win-ooski, Vermont on Dec. 19, 1932, daughter of the late Roland R. and Amy Beno-it Poudrier; had worked as an inspector for Advance Products for 20 years until her retirement and was a member of the North Hav-en Senior Center. She was the mother of Joseph (Carol) Ferraro, Jr., Richard (Janet) Ferraro and Robert (Vivian) Ferraro; sis-ter of Nancy Giannotti and Roland Poudrier. Also sur-vived by six grandchildren; and four great-grandchil-dren. Her funeral procession left the North Haven Funer-al Home, 36 Washington Ave., Thursday, Feb. 13. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated in St. Fran-ces Cabrini Church. Inter-ment was followed in All Saints Cemetery.

Senior Happenings

From the director:

During the winter months, I would like to share with all members and their fam-ilies of the Center’s Winter Storm Policies. If it snows and North Haven schools are closed, the center buses will not run. In the event North

Haven schools have a delayed opening, the center also has a delayed opening. For exam-ple, a two hour delay means the center would open at 10 a.m. (regular opening time is 8 a.m.) Any scheduled ap-pointment/trip (medical, shopping/errand trips, hair-

dressing, etc.) that falls within the delayed time period will be canceled. Medical appoint-ments scheduled after the de-layed time will not be affected. Additionally, when schools are dismissed early due to in-clement weather, all passen-gers who arrived to the center by bus will be brought home early and afternoon programs will be canceled. Detailed in-formation is posted on WTNH Channel 8, NBC Channel 4, and WSFB Channel 3.

Safety is our main concern. Consider staying home if your walkway has not been shov-eled or is icy. In the event the buses are on the road and you are scheduled for a pick up and your walkway has not been cleaned or appears icy, the driver will not stop to pick you up. This is for your safety. Staff is not allowed to exit the bus

to assist members, especially when safety is an issue.

The peculiar power of love — and chocolate

Contrary to popular belief Valentine’s Day was not cre-ated by the combined efforts of the Hallmark greeting card company, FTD florists, and the chocolate truf-fle industry. It came about

By Rev. Ray AndersenSpecial to The Citizen

from the story of a priest in third century Rome, named Valentine.

As the story goes Emperor Claudius II (known behind his back as “Claudius the Cruel”) was waging several difficult military campaigns. He believed that soldiers fought better if they had no families at home; hence he forbade young men to marry. Valentine, believing that young people should not only marry but also have God present in their rela-tionship, secretly married couples defying Claudius. For this he was executed (by decapitation) in 269 A. D.

Before dying he sent a letter to a blind girl he had been praying for and signed it “from your Valentine.” The rest, of course, is his-tory; and a piece of history

that no self-respecting en-trepreneurial greeting card company could possibly ignore.

Today marriage seems to be in a state of disrepair. There is such a high rate of divorce that first mar-riages are sometimes called “starter” marriages. There’s strong social debate on civil unions and same sex mar-riages. Young people often fear that marriage may ruin their relationship. At any rate no one thinks marriage is easy, especially whoever wrote the wedding service: “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health…”

Perhaps St. Valentine, in support of marriage, might say love needs to be more than just a warm fuzzy feel-ing for someone. After all it’s

as easy to get a warm fuzzy feeling about someone as it is to make yourself yawn. Love requires a decision of the will, an intentional, determined choosing of another that will help both get through the “better or worse” parts of their future.

Valentine’s Day may have become one of the secular world’s high holy days, but it’s also a good time to think about the peculiar power of love. Love is both the stron-gest and weakest force in the world. It’s strong enough to conquer that most impreg-nable of fortifications, the human heart; yet it can only do so with the consent of the conquered. Love can breach a wall, but can do so, not by its own strength, but only at the invitation of the one whom the wall defends.

Love has a strange arith-metic to it. You see this at every wedding. One person plus one person does not equal two persons. When two people give themselves away in love to one another it creates a new life-form, a new being that equals much more than two. My math skills never got me past Algebra 101 so don’t ask me how it works. It just does. Being a preacher I’m tempted to say it has some-thing to do with holiness and that love is of God.

On the other hand it might be wise to recall Charlie Brown who said, “All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”

Rev. Ray Anderson is a priest at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Cheshire.

The North Haven High School hockey team is enjoy-ing one of its best seasons, currently ranked second in the CIAC Division 2 bracket and second in the Southern Connecticut Conference. The top 16 teams make the CIAC tournament and the top four play off in the SCC tourna-ment, so NHHS is on its way to post-season play.

It has five games left in the regular season with two home games at the Northford Ice Pavilion, including a game Saturday at 8:30 p.m. against Cheshire, which is Senior Night.

The team has a 10-2-3 re-cord and has scored 64 goals, while giving up 34. The de-fense is led by the goalie, ju-nior assistant captain Andrew Graziano, who has saved 369 of the 400 shots taken against him, a .94 save average and 1.5 goals against him.

The scoring leaders in-clude senior captain Vin Fasulo, who has 15 goals and seven assists, and assistant captain senior Chris Lion, who has four goals and eight assists. Cam Owens, Mike Tantorski and Mike Hribko are the other scoring leaders.

Last year’s team finished 4-16 but played a tougher, Division 1 schedule. The team switched to Division 2 this winter.

“We also have lots of talent and the boys work hard,” said NHHS coach Tom Roche.

The team has been strug-gling early, before coming back to win or tie. “We’re down a goal and struggle to get off to a good start, but half our wins or ties we won in the third period,” Roche said.

The team also struggled with power plays, which led to line up changes, the coach said.

The team also positions three lines of forwards.

Liebeskind/The North Haven Citizen)

“Three sets of forwards keep us fresher,” Roche said.

Fasulo said, “Hard work, lots of scoring and a big step up from our goalie has been the key to our record. We put pressure on the defense, try to get them to make mis-takes and capitalize on the opportunities.”

Fasulo is looking forward to post-season play. “We’re second in the SCC and the CIAC. We’re a good draw for both tournaments, so we’ll try to win them both.”

Bashta’s Martial Arts, 350 Sackett Point Road, has scheduled a free self-defense class for women on Monday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. Space is lim-ited to 25 participants. Registration is required.

North Haven police say a convenience store employee falsely reported a robbery last week.

On Feb. 3, police responded to the Citgo Convenience store at 490 Washington St. (Route 5) for a report of an employee with a stab wound to the back of his head.

Detectives investigating the reported robbery discov-ered inconsistencies with the employee’s report, Lt. Kevin Glenn said. Police are not identifying the employee yet, but are pursuing criminal charges.

A reported robbery at the same store on Feb. 1 is legit-imate, Glenn said. Anyone with information about the Feb. 1 robbery is asked to call the Investigative Services Division of the North Haven Police Department at (203) 239-5321.

Silk’n Sounds, the women’s chorus that sings four-part harmony in the American Barbershop tradition, has scheduled a concert for Sunday, Feb. 23, at 2 p.m., at the Blackstone Library, 758 Main St., Branford.

The chorus consists of members of all ages and pro-fessions who come from communities throughout the Greater New Haven area and has been entertaining Connecticut audiences s for over a decade. The perfor-mance is free and open to the public

For more information, visit www.silknsounds.org.

First Selectman Mike Freda is optimistic about North Haven and will assert that message in his State of the Town address, Feb. 21 at the Best Western Plus Hotel.

“My talk will center on where we are operationally, financially and strategically,” Freda said, noting he will discuss the upcoming refer-endums on the town budget and the middle school ren-ovation as well as economic development.

“I’m positive and optimis-tic about the future of North Haven but the operation of government takes time. It takes longer than in the cor-porate world but through the

force of my relentless will I know we will get more things done here.”

Freda’s annual ad-dress is pro-duced by the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the North Haven Funeral Home and Ciulla & Donofrio, a North Haven law firm. The event begins with a luncheon at 12 noon followed by Freda’s speech.

The Chamber of Commerce sent invitations to the event to members. To register for the event call the chamber at (203) 269-9891.
