COMMENTARY
Budget season has begun By Sally J. Buemi
I was just thinking about the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget process which has just begun. During the next two months, each town department and the Board of Education will come before the Board of Finance to make their funding requests for this next budget. These meetings are known as budget workshops, and at their completion, the BOF will meet, in March, to formulate an initial budget to be presented at the April 5 Public Hearing. The BOF will then meet again to make any final revi-
sions before the Annual Budget Town Meeting on May 9. The budget will then go before the voters at a May 17 referendum. I will do my best to keep you informed throughout this process, and will offer my opinions. I know that you, as a taxpayer, are most concerned about the mill rate, and whether your taxes will be going up. But I urge you to watch the meetings and read newspaper coverage so you can have a better understanding before you vote on this budget. Every municipal budget has two separate – See Buemi, A9

Winter can be a pain in the neck — or back By Dr. Gregory Kuzmik
This time of year it doesn’t take much for someone to fall on an icy surface, or over exert themselves while shoveling heavy snow — which can lead to an injury to your neck or back. This can often cause pain, discomfort, and negatively affect quality of life. Ultimately, seeing a spine specialist may be needed to help resolve the issue. Injuries to the neck or back can affect muscles and ligaments or even fracture bones in the spine. I also routinely see patients with herniated discs from these injuries, which can result in pinched nerves. This typically manifests as pain radiating into the arms or legs and can cause debilitating discomfort if left untreated. How do you know when it’s time to see a doctor after a fall or injury? This is a question a lot of people ask. If pain symptoms persist for a week or longer and the pain is severe and constant, even when a person is lying down, they should be evaluated. Likewise, if pain is radiating into the arms or legs, that needs to be checked out. Neurological
Above: Christine Farrell Grochowski, Gerald E. Farrell, Sr., Ann M Farrell Left: Christine & Fritzy, Right: Ann & Teddy
Even though I am a neurosurgeon, I consider surgery to be the last resort for the majority of patients. Our goal is to first try and get symptoms under control with a combination of nonsurgical treatments such as medications or physical therapy. Sometimes a spinal injection may be an option as well. However, when someone has symptoms that persist or worsen despite these treatments, that’s when we start to consider the option for surgery. Many of our surgical treatments involve minimally invasive surgery, which can help minimize postoperative discomfort – meaning the patient is home sooner and can recover faster. Our treatment options also allow patients to return to activities that were once causing them too much pain. Nobody should have to live with pain or discomfort – especially when it’s impacting their quality of life. To help avoid neck and back inSee Kuzmik, A12

Donors are urged to schedule an appointment now by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1800-733-2767. There is no blood donation waiting period for those who have received a flu shot or a Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine or booster, so long as they are symptom-free.
Coming to your home or business In order to continue delivery to your home or business, we need to have each resident or business let us know that, by filling out our on-line requester form at: myrecordjournal. com/news/north-haven-citizen. Or, you can call us at 203-634-3933 and we can mail you a postage paid postcard to fill out and return. Without the necessary requester information, delivery of your North Haven Citizen to your home or business, will end. R247477v3
Volunteers needed In addition to blood donors, the Red Cross also needs the help of volunteers to support critical blood collections across the country. Blood drive volunteers play an important role by greeting, registering, answering questions and providing information to blood donors throughout the donation process. Blood transportation specialists, another volunteer opportunity, provide a critical link between blood donors and blood recipients by delivering blood to hospitals in communities across the country. To volunteer to support Red Cross blood collections, visit redcross.org/volunteertoday.

National Radon Action Month
Elim Park Place welcomes you to enjoy an
You can’t see, smell or taste radon, but it could be present at a dangerous level in your home. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America and claims the lives of about 21,000 Americans each year. In fact, the EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General urge all Americans to protect their health by testing their homes, schools and other buildings for radon. Exposure to radon is a preventable health risk and testing radon levels in your home can help prevent unnecessary exposure. If a high radon level is detected, you can take steps to fix the problem to protect yourself and your family. January is National Radon Action Month. The EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General recommend that all homes in the U.S. be tested for radon. Testing is easy and inexpensive. Learn more about testing your home, including how to obtain an easy-to-use test kit, at epa.gov.
