Lions’ White Cane Safety Day

At its 1925 international convention, Helen Keller charged Lions Clubs International to be “Knights of the Blind” in the crusade against darkness.
Colburn’s presentation will focus on the history of coyotes in Connecticut and will provide practical recommendations for optimum coexistence with our coyote population. Colburn will also share coyote artifacts with the audience.
North Haven Garden Club is a member of The Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut Inc., New England Garden Clubs Inc., and The National Garden Clubs Inc. Find the group on Facebook.
Since then, the Lions have fulfilled this mission. On Oct. 16, the North Haven Lions Club will be at Sam’s Place Restaurant, 344 Washington Ave., from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to conduct its inaugural White Cane Safety Day initiative to increase awareness of the An eastern coyote.

The eastern coyote entry on Wikipedia states the animal is a “wild North American canine hybrid with both coyote and wolf parentage. The hybridization likely first occurred in the Great Lakes region, as western coyotes moved east. It was first noticed during the early 1930s to the late 1940s, and likely originated in the aftermath of the extirpation of the gray wolf in southeastern On-

Sally Buemi: Working hard to represent all citizens By Selectman Sally Buemi
I have been serving on the Board of Selectmen for the past eight years. During that time, I've been privileged to talk with many citizens, and I appreciate the kind words of support I've received over the years.
It has not been easy being the lone Democrat on the North Haven Board of Selectmen. But I've worked very hard to always be prepared and to represent all North Haveners. I take my role on the board very seriously; it is an honor
A North Haven tradition in family dining, situated right on RTE 5 this 24 hr diner favorite has been delighting its hungry customers for over 30 years... whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, pie a la mode and coffee or just a late night munchie – the long time family run staff at this clean and tidy restaurant is happy to host you with a smile again and again – easily one of CT’s top diners!
to serve the town I love, my hometown, where I've lived all my life. I am a 1974 graduate of North Haven High School, where I was a varsity athlete. I've developed a good working relationship with my fellow board members, but I've always been certain to emphasize areas of disagreement with Mr. Freda. I believe respectful discussion of different opinions is good for the town and leads to better decision-making. I also enjoy writing my monthly column to keep folks informed about town events. I also appreciate the many opportunities I've had to organize or participate in special events in town; like the
2015 ceremony for World War II veterans, or, in 2018, for World War I veterans, or the recent 9-11 ceremony on the green. These events are an important part of being a member of the Board of Selectmen, a function I am honored to serve. I believe I have the skills and experience to serve on the Board of Selectmen. I have a bachelor's degree in political science, a master's degree in public administration, and a law degree. I served two years on the North Haven Community Services Commission, four years on the Board of Finance, and now eight years on the Board of Selectmen. I have been operating my
own law practice here in North Haven for over 35 years. I was also active for many years in girls and women's sports programs with Parks and Rec., as a softball coach, sponsor and player. I was also a volunteer for Boy Scouts and a history tutor for the North Haven Board of Education. I am anxious to keep working hard for the town. I am asking for your vote on Nov. 2. Candidates running for local office are welcome to submit a writeup for publication of 500 words or less. Send commentaries to news@thenorthhavencitizen.com no later than Monday, Oct. 18.

Michael Freda: Honored to serve the community By First Selectman Michael Freda
It seems hard to believe that it has been 12 years that I have had the privilege of serving our wonderful citizens of North Haven. We have gone through a great deal together and we have accomplished a great deal together. We have endured major storms, tornados, hurricanes and blizzards and we have always come through together as a strong community. Our accomplishments include bringing in new businesses, balancing budgets, earning the coveted Triple A bond rating gold star desig-
nation, building a middle school, building a new police station, building new fire houses, paving over 120 miles of roadway, improving and investing in updated technology, reinforcing our cyber security defense systems, developing an emergency management center, increasing resources in our 911 dispatch center, and developing an emergency broadcast message system enabling me to communicate with our citizens in emergency situations. We accomplished all of this together, and in six of the last 10 years, have had no tax increases. The past two years, we reduced the mill rate and added services.
I have been proud to represent each of you and represent our town as president of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, as the chairman of the Regional Council of Governments, as a member of the Police Officers Standard Training Council, as co-chair of the State Rail Advisory Committee and as chairman of the Regional 911 emergency dispatch MedCom committee. All of this has enabled our town to have very high visibility on a regional level, on a statewide level and a federal level with my many contacts and relationships at all of these levels.

They try hard to sound good but they fall far short in performance or they do not know what they are talking about because of their total lack of experience in ever managing or leading any entity.

HOW DO I PREP MY HOME FOR FALL?
You Ask, We Answer:
How Do I Prep My Home for Fall? Ah, fall in Connecticut. While we love the easy, breezy days of summer, the arrival of autumn still gives us a little flutter. From the beautiful fall foliage that blankets our state to sipping apple cider in a pumpkin patch, these few autumn months can be some of New England’s most charming. As we get ready to welcome the official autumn equinox, we recommend this short to-do list to prep your Connecticut home for fall—and remember, the more you do now, the less you’ll have to do when winter rolls around!
REPAIR DRAFTY WINDOWS
SWAP OUT FILTERS
windows or doors on a piece of paper. If you can pull the paper out without resistance, it’s time to replace it. And don’t forget to apply caulk to further seal up any cracks!
Furnace filters are like your home’s silent heroes: You don’t realize how much they do until they need replacing. Dust, dander, pet hair—all of these can clog your furnace filters and make it more difficult for your furnace to run efficiently, thereby making your utility bills higher.
CLEAN YOUR GUTTERS
Keep your roof safe and avoid the nightmare of water leaks by keeping your gutters clear of debris. After such a stormy summer, it’s important to give your gutters some attention to make sure they’re clear of leaves, twigs, berries and other things that can block them and prevent them from diverting water from your roof. Once you inspect your gutters for signs of rust and clean them of debris, protect them for the season and year ahead (hello, falling leaves!) by installing mesh gutter guards. They’ll allow the water to get through and go where it needs to without letting in more debris you’ll have to face down next year.
The number one reason to repair drafty windows and doors? Money. Air leaks allow cold air to sneak into your home, leaving you reaching for the thermostat to turn up the heat to offset the drafts. Weatherstripping can save you up to 20% on your heating bills, so be sure to make this While the weather is still gorgeous enough to relax outdoors, enjoy a top priority on your to-do list. savoring every moment! But as temps dip and skies grey, be sure to store If you applied weatherstripping a your outdoor furniture in the garage, year or two ago, congrats on being basement, or anywhere else that will on top of things! Just be sure to keep it safe from winter’s elements. inspect it to make sure it’s still Doing so can extend the life of your in top shape, as it can deteriorate outdoor furniture—especially if it’s over time. Try this to test your made of wood or fabric—and ensure weatherstripping: Close your

you can enjoy it for many summers to come.
If you have disposable filters, you can vacuum them once before replacing them completely. If you’re got reusable foam filters, you can vacuum them once a month or clean them with a soft brush to keep them working as they should. Electrostatic or metal filters can be removed and washed with water before putting them back in place.
TEST YOUR SNOW CLEAN YOUR BLOWER FIREPLACE It may seem ridiculous to test out your snowblower in September, but if the past few years of weather have taught us anything, it’s that “once in 100 years” storms and unpredictable temperature swings are the new normal. And, with the global supply chain still being disrupted by the pandemic, you don’t want to be caught empty-handed should Mother Nature dump a whole lot of snow in your driveway. Testing your snowblower now means you can still have it repaired or replaced before winter rolls in—and that means far less stress in the near future.
When you’re ready for a fresh perspective.

Whether you use your fireplace often, or just a few times a year, having it inspected annually by a professional can keep you safe and stress-free in the long run. Schedule your appointment with a chimney sweep to ensure you don’t have creosote buildup, that there is nothing blocking your flue and that everything is in working order before you light the first fire of the season. Then sit back, relax, and welcome fall’s arrival with a cozy night in!

COMMENTARY
In Brief
Screenings could help save your life notice any subtle changes. When performing a self-exam, you should be feeling for lumps or masses, and looking for thickening or dimpling of the skin. Skin redness, pain in the breast that’s persistent or severe, and lumps in the underarms are also signs you should not ignore. If a woman is experiencing any of these symptoms, they should call their primary care physician or OB/GYN for evaluation.
By Whitney Young
Here’s a statistic that everyone should know — according to the American Cancer Society, one out of every eight women will develop breast cancer at some point in their life. This is why as medical professionals we emphasize the importance of early detection and making sure women are proactive when it comes to their health. Women should be performing a breast exam monthly. The best time to perform this type of exam is one week after a woman’s period when the breasts are less likely to be swollen or tender. Doing monthly self-exams also help women familiarize themselves with their breasts — allowing them to
That’s when imaging may be ordered like a mammogram or ultrasound, and/or a referral with a breast specialist may occur. Depending on any abnormalities or findings, there would then be follow up with a diagnostic procedure like a biopsy to make an official diagnosis. As a breast surgeon, I always tell my patients that self-examination is just one line of
defense — since breast cancer may not always present in the form of a lump or mass that you can feel on your own. This is why yearly mammograms are a critically important part of early detection. Mammograms can detect the smallest masses, calcifications and changes over time. A woman who is considered at average risk for breast cancer should start getting mammograms at the age of 40. However, if a woman is determined to be high risk based on family history, they should start receiving mammograms and supplemental imaging earlier than 40 years old. I encourage women to have this conversation with their doctor to determine when preventative screenings should begin.

Women can start speaking with their doctors about their risk for breast cancer as early as age 25. Age, breast density, family history and other factors can help a woman and her healthcare team decide when it’s best to initiate breast health screenings. I encourage every women to make their health a priority. If you’re reading this and you haven’t had a mammogram in years — or at all — now is the time to make an appointment. If you put off your mammogram due to COVID, make your appointment — it’s never too late. Detecting cancer in its earliest form can prevent major surgery, help avoid treatment, and possibly save your life. Dr. Whitney Young is a breast surgeon with the Hartford HealthCare Medical Group, with offices in Meriden and North Haven.

Stay alert behind the wheel October is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The bottom line is if you text and drive, you will pay. An analysis by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety of 2009-2012 data found that while more than 80 percent of drivers believed it was completely unacceptable for a motorist to text behind the wheel, more than a third of those same drivers admitted to reading text messages while operating a passenger motor vehicle themselves. Texting while driving is dangerous and illegal. Break the cycle. Remember: U Drive. U Text. U Pay.
