ELECTION 2021 / BOARD OF SELECTMEN

Voters put faith in incumbents North Haven voters on Tuesday indicated they're happy with the direction of the town. Republican Michael Freda earned a seventh term as first selectman, and incumbents William Pieper, a Republican, and Sally Buemi, a Democrat, maintained their seats on the three-member Board of Selectmen. The unofficial totals showed Freda with 5,095 votes, followed by Pieper with 4,003 and Buemi with 1,811.

Freda's Democratic challenger Carl Kordek had the backing of 870 residents. Leading up to the election, Freda told voters that much has been accomplished during his time in office.

Freda

A recent commentary by Freda which ran in The Citizen states:

"Our accomplishments include bringing in new businesses, balancing budgets, earning the coveted Triple A bond rating gold star designation, 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,

This past May, the North Haven Board of Education voted to retire the school district’s Native American mascot. And in July, the board agreed to do away with the “Indians” nickname as well.

Tests show ‘higher than acceptable’ levels of bacteria in area rivers Recent river testing revealed higher than acceptable levels of bacteria, and a dramatic contrast between test results from samples taken on dry and rainy days.

"We accomplished all of this together," Freda wrote, "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."

Ideas sought for next school district mascot

School officials may have felt compelled to make the changes after Connecticut lawmakers included in the latest state budget a provision that would withhold aid from tribal gaming revenues from municipalities where a school uses a mascot, name or image associated with Native American tribes. The Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes said they oppose “the use of any and all Native American-related nicknames, mascots, and imagery,” with few exceptions, because they “promote stereotypes” and cause harm. With the “Indian” name and caricature now gone from North Haven schools, a campaign is underway to choose a new mascot to represent the district. The North Haven Mascot Committee is See Mascot, A2

Trained volunteers collected river and stream samples at 20 monitoring sites in Wallingford, Cheshire, North Haven, Hamden and New Haven, spanning three watersheds that end in New Haven Harbor and Long Island Sound. Regional Water Authority labs in New Haven analyzed the freshwater samples for contamination indicator bacteria Escherichia coli, or E. coli.

The bacteria are indicators of the presence of untreated human or animal sewage, but are not dangerous in themselves, said Mushinsky, who represents Wallingford. Testing took place Sept. 8, a dry day without previous rainfall, and Sept. 24, after more than an inch of rainfall — urbanized rivers often show different results on dry versus wet days, according to a statement from River Advocates.

“The likely reason is the continued use of combined sewer overflow systems in older cities like New Haven,” according to the statement. “Sewage and storm water share the same pipes under the city. They are slowly being separated, but the expense means the timetable is slow.” Bacteria limits of E. coli in water for recreational uses is less than 1 colony forming unit (CFU) per 100 milliliters (ml), less than 235 CFU per 100 ml, less than 410 CFU in non-designated swimming areas and less than 576 CFU for all other recreation except swimming. Bacteria limits of enterococcus in water for swimming is less than 104 CFU.

“Rainfall carries human and animal waste into the area’s rivers and streams because the landscape has been changed from forest and soil to extensive pavement and piping,” according to the statement. “Our area rivers are unsafe on rainy days for contact recreation and are therefore still impaired.” The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven’s

On Sept. 24, the rainy day, only a single location in Hamden met the standards for a non-designated swimming area. All other sites showed “massive and widespread failure” to meet recreational standards. In fact, the bacteria counts exceeded the mathematical limit of the test.

Last winter, CIAC winter sports were delayed until late January, wrestling was cancelled, and all athletes were required to wear masks while competing. Also, no state tournaments were held. Spring 2021 marked a shift towards normalcy for student-athletes. The season started on time, was played in full and included state tournaments. In July, when the COVID vaccine became available to 12-to-17-year-olds, the CIAC actively encouraged student-athletes to get a shot. That stance was re-iterated last week: “The CIAC wants to remind players, coaches, officials, parents and fans that vaccinations are the best mitigation strategy in preventing COVID-19 and the flu from negatively impacting interscholastic athletics.”

Coastal towns saying no to cannabis establishments

Guilford, Madison and North Branford recently put in place measures that stop cannabis establishments from opening for nine months to a year from now and Clinton has made it unlawful for any building, structure or land to be used as a cannabis establishment, producer, retailer or dispensary, the New Haven Register reported.

Nov. 11: A day to thank veterans for their sacrifices Veterans Day is Thursday, Nov. 11.

Veterans Day does not have an apostrophe.

Veterans Day is not the same as Memorial Day.

The following article, dated Nov. 5, 2018, and posted to the U.S. Department of Defense website, defense.gov, lays out some important facts about the holiday.

A lot of people think it’s “Veteran’s Day” or “Veterans’ Day,” but they’re wrong. The holiday is not a day that “belongs” to one veteran or multiple veterans, which is what an apostrophe implies. It’s a day for honoring all veterans — so no apostrophe needed.

A lot of Americans get this confused, and we’ll be honest — it can be a little annoying to all of the living veterans out there. Memorial Day is a time to remember those who gave their lives for our country, particularly in battle or from wounds they suffered in battle. Veter-

ans Day honors all of those who have served the country in war or peace — dead or alive — although it’s largely intended to thank living veterans for their sacrifices. It was originally called Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I. World War I officially ended

It’s the Best Time of the Year to SAVE!

For that reason, Nov. 11, 1918, was largely considered the end of “the war to end all wars” and dubbed Armistice Day. In 1926, Congress officially recognized it as the end of the war, and in 1938, it became an official holiday, primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I. But then World War II and the Korean War happened, so on June 1, 1954, at the urging of veterans service organizations, Congress amended the commemoration yet again by changing the word “armistice” to “veterans” so the day would honor American veterans of all wars.

when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. However, the fighting ended about seven months before that when the Allies and Germany put into effect an armistice on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Veterans Day From A8

form Holiday Bill in 1968 to ensure that a few federal holidays — Veterans Day included — would be celebrated on a Monday. Officials hoped it would spur travel and other family activities over a long weekend, which would stimulate the economy. For some inexplicable reason, the bill set Veterans Day commemorations for the fourth Monday of October. On Oct. 25, 1971, the first Veterans Day under this new bill was held. We’re not sure

why it took three years to implement, but not surprisingly, there was a lot of confusion about the change, and many states were unhappy, choosing to continue to recognize the day as they previously had — in November. Within a few years, it became pretty apparent that most U.S. citizens wanted to celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11, since it was a matter of historic and patriotic significance. So on Sept. 20, 1975, President Gerald Ford signed another law (Public Law 94-97), which returned

the annual observance to its original date starting in 1978. Other countries celebrate it, too, in their own ways. World War I was a multinational effort, so it makes sense that our allies also wanted to celebrate their veterans on Nov. 11. The name of the day and the types of commemorations differ, however.

Great Britain calls it “Remembrance Day,” too, but observes it on the Sunday closest to Nov. 11 with parades, services and two minutes of silence in London to honor those who lost their lives in war.

Canada and Australia both call Nov. 11 “Remembrance Day.”

Canada’s observance is pretty similar to our own, except many of its citizens wear red poppy flowers to honor their war dead. In Australia, the day is more akin to our Memorial Day.
