Stirk addresses student equity concerns
‘DIVERSITY IS GOOD’
By Everett Bishop The Citizen
Superintendent of Schools Patrick Stirk recently spoke to the school board about the disparity in “the number of minority students taking higher level courses” in math and English at the high school.

Menorah lighting becomes a holiday tradition in town By Everett Bishop The Citizen
For the past four years, North Haven has included a menorah lighting on the town green as part of its winter holiday traditions. While Christmas is often the focus this time of year – nine out of 10 Americans say they celebrate the holiday – the town has chosen to diversify its seasonal symbolism. Sherman Katz, a Jewish resident of North Haven, has been a primary force behind the annual menorah lighting ceremony on the town green in recognition of Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights.
This year, the ceremony begins on Sunday, Dec. 22 and ends on Monday, Dec. 30.
“You have to get out of your shell, you have to get out and around.”
“The first year that this started, Mr. Freda asked me to take charge. I put this in the papers and about 40 people showed up,” Katz said. “I want people to know that North Haven is an open city, we welcome everyone. Diversity is good.”
In order to improve visible diversity in town and educate people on the Jewish faith and Hanukkah, Katz began organizing this local annual event.
Katz recalled that in the 1970s he moved to North Haven with his wife and at that time two neighbors remarked that he, as a member of the Jewish faith, was “no different than them.” “This is how some people thought 50-60 years ago,” he said.
“We’re actively recruiting students and holding conversations with their families in order to encourage them to take these higher level classes,” Stirk said at the Thursday, Nov. 14 Board of Education meeting. The superintendent added that the high school has an open enrollment policy which gives students the opportunity to choose those higher level courses. Stirk said the process of forming an exploratory
group to look at ways to address the issue was underway. North Haven schools also will look into grants through ACES (Area Cooperative Educational Services) to help with efforts to recruit more minority teachers and staff. Board of Education member Jennifer Ceccarelli has pushed to take a closer look at this disparity. She said, “It sounds like (Stirk) has a lot of awesome things going on.” Repairs to the high school track also were discussed at the Nov. 14 meeting. “Our track is in need of extensive repairs,” Stirk said. Track repairs were included in the middle school building project, but an unanticipated replacement of the middle school See Stirk, A4
Each night for the eight days of Hanukkah, prayers are read in Hebrew and English and a candle is lit until the entire menorah is set aglow. This year, Rabbi Brian Immerman from Hamden’s Congregation Mishkan Israel will join the North Haven Hanukkah celebration as well. See Menorah, A5
At its recent meeting, the North Haven Board of Education talked about plans to address racial disparity in higher level classes at NHHS and repairs to the high school track. Photo by Everett Bishop, The Citizen

Turkey and politics don’t mix; rise above the fray The holidays are back again – that last lap of the year reserved for food, family, friends and … fighting? Yes, fighting. Granted, it shouldn't be that way, but let's face it, nowadays, talking will more likely get you a taste of disagreement and a side of resentment to go with the turkey and other fixin's at the holiday table.
When it comes to conversations, we’ve always heard, don’t talk religion or politics. At this point, though, talking religion would probably be a welcome escape from politics during family occasions. In some families, political disagreements end in polite dismissal, teasing laughs, or friendly eye-rolls. In others, not so much. So, if a divide exists, how can

Menorah From A1
Immerman said the menorah lighting on the town green creates a “synergy between Hanukkah and Christmas.” “There are lights for both, and light is a symbol of hope in our world,” he said. “The word Hanukkah means ‘dedication’ … so one of my teachings of this is, during Hanukkah, we can rededicate ourselves to pursuing hope and pursuing peace.”

MONEY MATTERS
Financial gifts can have a lasting impact By Jeff Jolly
The gift-giving season is fast approaching. So, if you are like a lot of people, this means you are spending time trying to brainstorm gifts to give your loved ones – something that they will use and appreciate. For those disillusioned with giving gifts that are quickly used up or forgotten the moment the wrapping paper comes off, consider a financial gift designed to make an impact.
Here are a few financial gift ideas you can feel good about giving: Start a savings Jolly account. Help instill the importance of saving with the gift of a partially funded savings account.

STATE
Senate Republicans unveil no-tolls transportation plan By Susan Haigh Associated Press
HARTFORD — Senate Republicans in Connecticut unveiled an alternative transportation plan last Thursday that doesn’t rely on tolls or tax increases but includes many of the same projects proposed by Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont. The 10-year, nearly $18 billion FASTR CT initiative from the minority party in the state Senate came a day after Lamont pitched his 10year, $21.3 billion CT2030 plan to Senate Democrats, who liked many of the projects but not the fact it includes 14 tolls on bridges across the state.
It’s unclear whether the Senate GOP’s plan will ultimately lay the groundwork for a political compromise on an issue that has vexed the state of Connecticut for years.
Jolly
“Connecticut succeeds best when both parties work together,” said Looney, adding how Senate Democrats were analyzing the proposal. But Lamont, who said he appreciated Fasano’s efforts to “partially fund much-needed infrastructure investments,” raised concerns about the funding arrangement.
Like Lamont’s plan, FASTR CT relies partly on low-cost borrowing from the federal government to help pay for road, bridge, rail, port and bus improvements. But instead of using toll money to help pay off those loans, like Lamont’s initiative, it banks on a complicated plan to financially stabilize the state’s dedicated transportation fund, which is facing insolvency.
While Looney appeared somewhat receptive to the idea, noting the state’s reserves are currently at a historically high level, Lamont called it a “risky proposition that requires serious evaluation.”
House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, who supports tolls, said he also has concerns about “such a significant raid” on the reserve account.
Fasano contends that using surplus funds to pay down pension debt will free up enough cash in the state’s main spending account — the general fund — to cover the cost of fringe benefits for certain state workers that are currently paid through the transportation fund.
“We see this plan as a good step toward reaching a biAfter that and other changes, partisan solution that the fund would theoretically doesn’t levy another tax on be financially strong enough the working people of Conto pay off the low-cost feder- necticut,” said Patrick Sasser, founder of No Tolls CT. al loans.

“We believe this is the way to go for transportation,” said Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, noting that Senate Republicans “simply cannot support tolls.”
Senate President Martin Looney, D-New Haven, welcomed the plan and praised Fasano for trying to find a bipartisan solution.

Backing down is not a sign of weakness. If anything, you're salvaging your quality family time.
Be the "bigger person" – Politics stirs up passion and emotion, with some people forsaking silence to instead lure others into a debate. Unfortunately, they may see others as the face of an issue they oppose. It’s important to sense that emotion in the discussion and recognize the need to take a step back.
We don't all have to get along – We don't have to see eye-to-eye with everyone in our lives. And, yes, this even goes for family. Just because we're tied by blood doesn't mean we have to be bound by agreement. There's power in reading, understanding and accepting a relationship and where it stands – or

that it possibly doesn’t. If you've tried to convince others of your side’s merits, with no success in sight, then you've done your best. I love family as much as the next person, but it’s not worth forfeiting your sanity by either trying to convince someone to see things your way or constantly defending yourself until you’re blue in the face. Recognize how far apart you are, and just accept it. Families are too different for these tips to be cookie-cutter in their effectiveness. You need to determine, with some thought, how you're going to best handle your experience. See Jaramillo, A9
