Freda’s challenger is ‘the man in the mirror’ By Everett Bishop The Citizen
First Selectman Michael Freda said at a candidate forum last week that his biggest challenger in the upcoming election is “the man in the mirror.” Running unopposed, Freda was the lone candidate at the North Haven Candidates Forum, held Friday, Oct. 18 at Ulbrich Stainless Steels.
The Republican first selectman was won five straight elections. “Yes, it is true I am running unopposed, but I wanted everyone to know that that does not mean that we are not fully motivated and continue to do everything we can to advance and perpetuate the great town of North Haven,” Freda said at the forum.
SPECIAL OCCASION
“Our goal is to invest the top line revenue growth, keep the mill rate stable, but improve the town and reinvest back in the town,” the first selectman said. “So what might those reinvestments be? Paving roads, building a new middle school, building a new police station, renovating fire departments.” Talking business, Freda said the town’s vision “is to identify retail, commercial and industrial zones.”
Moderator Garrett Sheehan, left, sits beside First Selectman Michael Freda as he discusses economic development and the town’s future.
“Identify the vacancies, the dilapidated properties and work on those areas to promote economic development in those zones, but also maintain the integrity and the charm of individual neighborhoods,” he said.
Also, Freda pointed out that focusing in on existing busihe planned to focus on help- nesses and see how we can ing Medtronic expand. help them to expand,” he said. “A lot of this is not necessarily always trying to bring See Freda, A16 new businesses in, but it’s

Husband sentenced to probation in wife’s death By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — A North Haven man was sentenced to one year of probation after pleading no contest to negligent homicide with a motor vehicle on Monday. The charge stems from an incident last year where police said he ran over his wife with his vehicle. Francesco Suppa, 67, of 119 Scrub Oak Road, North Haven, was originally charged on May 10, 2018 with first-degree assault. The prosecutor changed the charge to second-degree manslaughter after his wife, Antonietta Suppa, died of her injuries. During an appearance Monday in Meriden Superior
Court, Suppa pleaded no contest to negligent homicide with a motor vehicle and first-degree reckless enFrancesco dangerment, Suppa both misdemeanor charges. He was sentenced to 18 months, fully suspended, and one year probation. As a condition of probation, the judge ordered Suppa to comply with any counseling recommended by probation. North Haven police responded to the Scrub Oak Road home on May 11, 2018 around 7:20 p.m. for a report of a woman who was struck

Authorities investigated and learned the couple was involved in a dispute prior to the incident and that Suppa sped in reverse down the driveway, striking and dragging his wife, police said. Antonietta Suppa suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital, police said. She succumbed to her injuries the next day. Attorney Jake Donovan, who represented Francesco Suppa, said in court that it was a “tragic case.”

Peter has served on the Fire Commission for 24 years and has served with the greatest devotion, commitment and passion to assure that all the residents and firefighters remain safe. Please vote for Peter. He is a write-in candidate. To cast your vote for him, turn to the back of the ballot, locate column 17, and fill in the bubble for 17C. Then print Peter’s name in the space below to make your vote count.
Please help him continue his work on the Fire Commission. Dorothy Logan North Haven
Devoted citizen Editor : I write in support of Nancy Barrett, an endorsed Democratic candidate for the North Haven Board of Finance. A friend and neighbor for many years, Nancy has devoted herself to giving back to our neighborhood and the town. She is a concerned, vigilant member of
the community, keeping families advised about area events and concerns, and has been a long-time supporter of educational budget priorities as a founding member of the North Haven Team for Education. The citizens of North Haven will be well-served with Nancy Barrett as a member of the Board of Finance. Donald Deloge North Haven
The right choice Editor : Recently, North Haven held
a primary for Fire Commissioner for the Democratic Party. Jennifer Caldwell won that election. I can say the voters that came out that day made the wrong choice.
Ms. Caldwell has impressed me with her willingness to listen to concerns, suggestions and ideas from constituents, and she strikes me as a keen learner.
Pete Criscuolo is the right person for that position. In his time as commissioner he has raised over $100,000 for North Haven firefighters. They save lives every day in North Haven and they also supported him.
Her commitment to transparency in government and to making decisions based on supporting data and common sense provide Ms. Caldwell with the necessary skillset and experience for her to serve honorably and effectively as a Fire Commissioner for the Town of North Haven.
I urge everyone to please write-in Peter Criscuolo’s name on line 17C and support our firefighters and keep our town great. Christine Turcio North Haven
Pick Caldwell Editor : On Nov. 5, voters will cast their ballots for candidates seeking offices in municipal government, including important boards and commissions. A crucial government organization in a municipality is the Fire Commission.
Gary W. George North Haven
The endorsed candidate Editor : On Nov. 5, Democrats in North Haven have a chance to choose a new member of the Board of Fire Commissioners. I support Jennie Caldwell, the endorsed candidate, and I encourage every Democrat to vote for her. See Letters, A9

NORTH HAVEN — Gov. Ned Lamont tapped a former Pratt & Whitney engineer to be the administration’s manufacturing officer at a press conference Monday at Ulbrich Steel & Specialty Metals. Colin Cooper, currently executive chairman of Whitcraft Group in Eastford, served on the Manufacturing Innovation Board. The $150,000 per-year state position was supported by the state legislators earlier this year to coordinate private-sector efforts to educate and support the next generation of skilled manufacturers. The position will be under the state Department of Economic and Community Development. “This is very significant in strengthening the manufacturing sector,” said DECD Commissioner David Lehman. “Connecticut has a long and distinguished history in manufacturing.”

30,000 jobs will need to be filled in the coming years as older workers retire. “Manufacturing has played a critical role in our state for 250 years, “ Cooper said. “We need to ensure that continues. I know the challenges of trying to grow manufacturing in the state.” Cooper praised the education level and training of workers and the state’s location in regional industry, but said more needs to be done to introduce manufacturing as a vital career to students in middle school and their parents. Officials said demand is so high that 1,000 new workers graduating today can be employed next week. “We’ve always had the Silicon Valley of manufacturing,” Lamont said. “That’s why we make things the other guy can’t generation in and generation out.” “There are a lot of opportunities working across the the silos, the sectors of government and across the sectors of the industry,” Cooper said. mgodin@record-journal.com 203-317-2255 Twitter: @Cconnbiz

Vaping issues concern health officials and vape industry By Terry Sutton Special to The Citizen
It was touted as a safer alternative to cigarette and cigar smoking, but vaping from electronic cigarettes has recently grabbed national headlines, and the news isn’t good. In the last few months, some 1,000 people across the country have been stricken with serious and sometimes fatal lung ailments. This month, the state’s Department of Public Health announced that Con-
necticut had its first known death caused by a vaping-related illness. A press release on the DPH website states that since Oct. 11, Connecticut has 31 known cases of vaping related illness. An Oct. 8 press release from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website cited 1,299 confirmed and probable cases of lung disease from e-cigarette product usage in 49 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with
26 of these cases resulting in death. Reacting to this wave of incidents, states such as Michigan, Rhode Island and Washington have banned the sale of all flavored ecigarettes. Massachusetts has taken an even stronger approach by instituting a temporary four-month ban on any and all e-cigarette products. Kathryn Glendon of the Chesprocott Health District,

said vaping was a health concern long before the recent emergence of these illnesses. “Electronic cigarettes (ecigarettes) are battery-powered devices that deliver nicotine, flavorings, and other ingredients to people inhaling them. It is often called vaping,” Glendon explained in a Cheproscott Health District press release. “Contrary to popular belief, e-cigarettes don’t just emit harmless water vapors. They in fact release aerosols that contain harmful chemicals which can cause illness and in rare occurrences, death.” Glendon pointed out that CDC and the Food and Drug Administration data showed that there were more than 3.6 million American youths, who were past-month ecigarette users in 2018.

demic in the United States.” Meghan Albanese is the outreach coordinator for the Southington STEPS Coalition, which is dedicated to prioritizing substance abuse prevention through education, reducing access and policy change. She, like Glendon, views vaping as a major problem for teenagers and parents. “With the recent explosion of the vaping epidemic, we know now more than ever that we need to prevent our youth from engaging in risktaking behaviors that are detrimental to their health,” Albanese said. “The partnership between STEPS and the Southington Board of Education has been critical in helping educate students and adults on the dangers of tobacco, e-cigarettes and nicotine addiction. This includes new teacher orientation on current trends and paraphernalia and a vaping intervention program geared to students that are caught in possession of any tobacco or nicotine products in school.

“While it is good that statewide in Connecticut we are still meeting the federally recommended MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccination rate of 95% for kindergarteners, I am very concerned that the number of schools falling short of this important immunization level continues to rise,” Department of Public Health Commissioner Renee Coleman-Mitchell said

come from just adults, it also needs to come from the students’ peers.” Andrew O’Bright is the owner of Bright Consultants, a business that advises companies in the vaping industry. He cautions people to understand that an underground market of products not sold by legitimate dealers is the most likely culprit in the lung illnesses from vaping. Despite the rash of vaping illnesses and deaths, he says instituting bans, without all the facts, is costing people their jobs and hurting businesses in the vaping industry. “87 percent of (those experiencing) illnesses in Illinois and Wisconsin have admitted to THC use, all of which is from the black market, because these are marijuana-illegal states,” O’Bright said. He is adamant that by governments banning products from regulated stores, a black market of dangerous materials will cause users further harm. O’Bright said the move by certain states to ban fla-
vored cartridges and products are a mistake and misguided. Many of these deaths and illnesses are linked to illegal materials that may include illegal drugs as well as “extremely high content” THC based oil. “Kids are not attracted because of the flavors, there have been flavors available like they are today for the past 12 years,” he said. “What teens are attracted to is ease of obtaining (at convenience stores almost exclusively) and the high
amount of nicotine. As an industry we are in favor of all reasonable regulation that does not significantly hinder the ability and viability of an adult smoker to make the switch.” He said the vaping industry is willing to work with state leaders regarding many of their concerns. He and others in the industry still point out that vaping is a much safer alternative than tobacco products, which kill thousands annually.

In a statement issued Monday afternoon, Lamont said these latest numbers show how “it’s even more pressing that we work with the General Assembly to repeal the non-medical exemptions in the interest of public health.” But Festa contends the numbers don’t indicate there’s a public health threat, noting that former

The CDC in its Oct. 1 press release stated that an investigation found that in 578 cases of people with the vaping lung ailments, 78 percent had vaped with products that contained THC. Only 17 percent of the cases reported that they had solely ingested nicotine products. O’Bright pointed out that some people may not be fully truthful about their usage due to THC being illegal in several states. He insists that people should only buy from regulated stores that abide
Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell in 1998 publicly touted Connecticut’s 91% immunization rate as the highest in the U.S. “There was no public health crisis. There were no calls back then for releasing data or repealing the religious exemption or anything like that,” he said.

by state code. He cautioned people to stay away from gas station stores and private individual sales. “We have legislation written in the Connecticut industry that we are willing to present to the governor’s office and any legislators, that would put a cap on the amount of nicotine available and would also move products from convenience stores to adult-only retail locations,” he said.

The bottom line was, I wasn’t safe.” As the panel took questions, Dacey shared an anecdote about taking over her parents’ company. “My father would say to me all the time ‘You know, Bev, if only you’d been a boy you would have been perfect to run this company.’ And my

Didn’t have a clue what I was doing, didn’t have a MBA, didn’t have the training. But I had instincts.” Winston told attendees about her dislike of the word “boss” and how “there are no such things as bosses.” “I never get hung up on the title.

While Dacey and Winston pointed out some of their professional setbacks with the crowd, they also shared some of the keys to their success, including “embracing the serendipity,” as Dacey put it, and knowing that “mistakes are part of the learning curve,” according to Winston.

It’s about trust. It’s about building strength, strength in numbers.” ebishop@record-journal.com

Freda also discussed housing in town. “Affordable housing is important, but it itself faces two challenges,” he said. “One: A repositioning of the branding, if you will. I always said young professional housing is a good way to describe it, or senior housing. Two: How we as municipal leaders get around high density in residential areas.” Tom Curtin, HR director for Ulbrich Stainless Steels, said Freda’s “leadership and dedication” in town is appreciated. “We think he’s fantastic, and I thank him for being here,” Curtin said. ebishop@record-journal.com
