ACES provides free lunch, breakfast for students By Everett Bishop The Citizen
Students at participating ACES schools will be provided with free breakfast and lunch for the 2019-2020 academic year. This includes all schools except for the Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven, which runs a half-day program, and Thomas Edison Middle School and Wintergreen Interdistrict Magnet School, whose lunch program is provided by Meriden Public Schools.
Ridge Road Elementary School has a new face for the 2019-2020 school year. Chris McLaughlin, originally an English teacher for North Haven High School, has taken the principal position previously held by North Haven superintendent, Patrick Stirk. This year marks McLaughlin’s 16th with North Haven Public Schools. After serving as an English teacher for six years, he was promoted to assistant principal of the high school and had finished his ninth year before moving to Ridge Road. “I went into this career to dedicate myself to working with students,” he said. “It was through my teachings and working as a teacher at the high school I became very close with Russ Dallai, who I think was the assistant principal at that time.”
The meal program allows all students to receive free meals regardless of their family’s income.

“What we’re now in is something called the CEP, the Community Eligibility Program,” said Tim Howes, assistant executive director of
finance and operations. “… if your school meets a certain criteria, and the criteria is if you have 40 percent or more
of the students that are identified as direct certification … your school can be entireSee ACES, A7
McLaughlin said that it was actually Dallai who had convinced him to make the move into administration. Originally, McLaughlin “had never thought twice” about making the transition. But the transition didn’t end with McLaughlin moving from teaching to administration. Moving

from high school to elementary school for the first time at North Haven was another change the new principal would have to face. “So far it’s been awesome. It’s been a great journey so far,” he said. “The staff here, the community here, has just been so welcoming and tremendous. I get excited more and more each day. This summer I had an opportunity to meet a lot of the students … and it just really makes me realize this is where I want to be.” Stirk said that McLaughlin’s transition into his role at Ridge Road “has been seamless.” See McLaughlin, A7

Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club opens in North Haven By Everett Bishop The Citizen
After months of planning, the Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club’s North Haven location is ready to open. The Wall-
ingford-based club hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony at Hope Christian Church last week and was set to open Wednesday, Aug. 28 to coincide with the start of school.
“I hope everyone here is as excited as I am for this new venture,” said Carlos Collazo, club executive director. “The Boys & Girls Club has been around for 56 years and this is actually the first time the
Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club has gone outside of the Wallingford community. So for us this is huge.”

I was appalled to see the letter to the editor from Mr. Fowler about how bad the Dems are. To address Mr. Fowler’s passionate concern for the Democrats, and to be crystal clear, the North Haven Democratic Town Committee is the strongest it has been in decades. Political change takes time; especially in a small, red town where dirty politics, half-truths and intimidation run rampant when the status quo is challenged. Peter Criscuolo has a tumultuous history in North Haven. DTC members have raised concerns regarding his character and motives and chose to move in a different direction. I have publicly supported the fire department, along with Jennie Caldwell, in advocating and raising awareness in assessing vital services.
Jennie Caldwell was endorsed 2-1 by the North Haven DTC. I encourage all Democratic voters to vote in the primary on Tuesday, Sept. 10. Kathy Grant NHDTC Chair
Fresh approach Editor : I am writing in support of Jennifer Caldwell's candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the North Haven Fire Commission. Jennifer is the official, partyendorsed candidate, and there will be a primary on Tuesday, Sept.10. I urge all North Haven Democrats to vote. All polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Jennifer has the education,
Jennifer served six years on the North Haven Board of Education, and she understands the time commitment necessary to be a member of such an important commission.
There will be a North Haven Democratic municipal primary for fire commissioner on Tuesday, Sept. 10. All North Haven Voting District polling places will be open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. North Haven voters who are registered with the Democratic Party may vote in the primary.
Camera club
In recent years, the fire department has been at the center of budgetary discussions. Jennifer’s service on the Board of Education has prepared her for the challenges of balancing the needs of a town department with concern for the burdens on our taxpayers. Jennifer Caldwell is excited about the challenges ahead, and I am confident that she will bring a fresh and vibrant approach, that is so desperately needed, to our fire commission. Please vote on Sept.10. Sally J. Buemi North Haven Selectman

La Lupa restaurant coming to Washington Ave. By Everett Bishop The Citizen
North Haven’s Economic Development Commission met on Thursday, Aug. 22 to address several topics, including housing, the retail market and a new restaurant coming to Washington Avenue. According to First Selectman Michael Freda, the eatery will be named La Lupa. It
will be housed at 344 Washington Ave., the former home of Leon’s Restaurant. The owners of La Lupa also own Adriana’s, a well-known New Haven restaurant. “The restaurant demand is strong here,” Freda said. “The format will be very similar to Adriana’s. There will be a pizza oven in there and they will offer similar fare.”
Also, Freda said that he had shown two different restaurant owners the former Boston Market location on Washington Avenue. While neither have committed to the space, Freda said they discussed the possibility of bringing in a “margarita, Mexican format” and “barbecue.” In other business news, Panera Bread will be breaking ground on a standalone
restaurant on Universal Drive.
tom floor of the buildings will be filled by retail outlets.
During talks about housing in North Haven, Freda said eight homes are currently being built on Warner Road, and construction should be completed in “early spring.”
Currently, Freda said it’s a “soft” retail market in town. He said he spoke to food markets Trader Joe’s and Wegmans about opening locations in North Haven, but nothing came of the talks.
Additionally, two apartment buildings facing Washington Avenue are in the works. Along with 150 new apartments, Freda said the bot-

As students return to school, Chief Paul Januszewski and the North Haven Fire Department would like to remind residents to follow several important safety tips.
Never cross the street while using an electronic device.
"As kids head back to school this week, everyone should remember to be aware of their surroundings," Januszewski said. "This includes both drivers and students. We encourage drivers to pay special attention to areas around schools, crosswalks and school bus stops, and we encourage students to stay off of electronic devices and be cautious when crossing the street."
Cross only at crosswalks.
Look left, right, then left again before crossing the street.

I was just thinking about how quickly this very hot summer has gone by. I hope you enjoyed the Tuesday night concerts on the Green. I want to thank all the generous members of our business community who helped make these concerts possible. And, as usual, the Parks and Rec. Department did a great job organizing the concerts, and the Public Works staff worked so hard all summer maintaining our beautiful Green and cleaning up so quickly after the concerts. The final concert was Aug. 27.
Thirdly, the end of summer means the start of another campaign season. This is a local election year, and I will be running again for my seat on the Board of Selectmen.

Fate of legalized marijuana is hazy By Susan Haigh Associated Press
HARTFORD — After coming close this year, Connecticut lawmakers have yet to decide when to make another attempt at legalizing and taxing recreational marijuana. Legislators acknowledge it’s doubtful there will be a vote this summer or fall. And despite a desire by proponents to revisit the issue when the General Assembly reconvenes in February, it’s unclear whether that will happen. It’s a shortened legislative session and an election year for lawmakers. “It has been and still is an issue for us. We’re just not sure what the political appetite for it is right now,” said Rep. Joshua Hall, a Democrat from Hartford who leads the General Assembly’s Progressive Caucus. There appears to be more support in the House of Representatives than the Senate for proposal, he said, which creates some hesitancy among lawmakers.
they did not come up for a vote on the floor of the House and Senate, despite support from Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont. Opponents argued that legalizing pot would be costly for Connecticut to administer and enforce, outstripping any potential revenue gain. A study released by Pew Charitable Trusts warned that states like Connecticut, which are seriously considering legalization, should be cautious when estimating how much money can be generated from the potentially volatile revenue source. Pew found it’s difficult to predict demand for a product that was previously illegal in a state and remains illegal federally.
The report says that figure exceeds the state’s largest revenue generator, the personal income tax, which generated nearly $10.8 billion in 2018.
port says is the third highest in the U.S. Executive Director Joe DeLong says the study shows the need for adequate state aid to help municipalities provide significant property tax relief to taxpayers.
In Nevada, for example, revenue came in 40% higher than anticipated during the first six months of legalization, while it was 45% lower than projected in neighboring California. Ten states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana. “And with more states considering legalizing marijuana, forecasting and budgeting difficulties for revenue from recreational marijuana are likely to become widespread,” according to the Pew report, which warns that such challenges could have serious budgetary consequences for states counting on the money to fund specific programs or close budget gaps.
SUDOKU
“Having people take hard votes and not coming to fruition, I think that’s probably one of the issues we’re facing,” Hall said.
R213830v5
Several bills that addressed such aspects cleared various committees during the recent legislative session, but
R213831v5
Proponents have various reasons for wanting to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Connecticut. They range from addressing inequities in the criminal justice system to generating more revenue for the state’s coffers.
