FROM THE NHFD

Remember to share the road

With warmer weather, more bicyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians are outside. Residents should take caution and remember to follow the law while bicycling, walking, jogging and driving.

Watch for pedestrians everywhere, at all times of the day. Avoid distracted driving and never use your cell phone or mobile device while driving. Yield to bicyclists as you would to a motor vehicle. Do not underestimate their speed, especially when making a turn that crosses their path.

Stop a safe distance away from the crosswalk to give other vehicles ample time to see the pedestrians that are crossing so that they can also stop. Do not pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk. Follow slower speed limits in neighborhoods with signage that children are present.

Library talk delves into obscure Victorian history By Everett Bishop The Citizen

Adam Shefts, a Victorian historian, came to speak at the North Haven Memorial Library on Friday, July 19.

Shefts’ hour-long presentation gave audience members a taste of obscure Victoriaera history that’s often overlooked in typical history classes.

“The 19th and 20th centuries were very significant times in American history. The 19th century saw a war that divided the nation in two. The 20th century saw the

prominent emergence of flight and automobiles,” said Shefts. “But that’s just surface history. If you dig deep, deep down, there is a

plethora of odd and unique information.” Shefts shared an ad for the See History, A5

1. To qualify for the advertised APY, you must enroll your new or existing Platinum Savings account in this offer between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 by speaking to a banker and requesting the special rate. Offer is subject to change at any time, without notice, and is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: CT, DE, FL, NJ, NY, PA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 1.98% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the promotional interest rate period. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes all deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.00%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000, the enrolled account will not be eligible for the Special Rate and will instead earn the applicable Standard Interest Rate for a Platinum Savings account. As of 05/31/2019, the Standard Interest Rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in CT, FL, NJ and NY with an account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY); and for a Platinum Savings account in DE and PA with an account balance of $0.01 to $99,999.99 is 0.05% (0.05% APY) and with an account balance of $100,000 and above is 0.10% (0.10% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, then-current Standard Interest Rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. 2. Available in-branch only; you must speak with a banker to request the special rate. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 and requires a minimum of $25,000 in new money brought to Wells Fargo. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A penalty for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the special rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. 1., 2. Due to the new money requirement, new accounts may only be opened at your local branch and you must speak to a banker to request the special rate offers for both new and existing accounts. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be: • Combined with any other consumer deposit offer. • Reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable standard interest rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed. © 2019 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

MERIDEN — The Midstate Chamber of Commerce and the Hamden Regional Chamber of Commerce recently signed a memorandum of understanding to develop an alliance. The partnership is not a merger, but an effort to maintain the local chambers by retaining their boards, presidents and staff while fostering alliance chamber cooperation, said Rosanne Ford, interim president of the Midstate Chamber of Commerce. The Midstate Chamber has a 550-member roster, and

Hamden has 400 members. The benefit to members is the “opportunity to connect with twice the membership base and at the member-only rate,” according to a statement announcing the alliance. “This is a unique model unlike any other that we’re aware of in the area,” Ford said. “Our transition, drafting committees are working on the structure/guidelines and members of both chambers will be receiving regular updates as work progresses.” The Midstate and Hamden chambers have held numerous local events and discovered a synergy and energy level that led to the partner-

The Hamden regional chamber serves businesses from Hamden, North Haven, Wallingford, Cheshire, New Haven and surrounding areas. Midstate, headquartered in Meriden, serves central Connecticut. Chambers of commerce nationwide have entered mergers and alliances with each other and nonprofits and arts groups, according to the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives. Many factors, from better performance to cost reduction, are driving these alliances, the organization states on its website. “When a chamber of commerce merges or forms an alliance with another entity, the goal is to create a new organization greater than the sum of its parts,” according to the ACCE.

vidual who complains pursuant to the board’s policy and regulations is strictly prohibited. The district will take actions necessary to prevent retaliation as a result of filing a complaint. The North Haven Public Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs and activities and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups.

conditioned to look for other cars, not cyclists. Remember that motorcyclists have the same privileges as other drivers. Be sure to give riders a full lane of travel, and always keep a close watch for motorcyclists — especially at intersections and on highways. Sport utility vehicles, delivery vans, and large trucks may block motorcyclists from view.

Drivers must always be aware of their surroundings. Remember: Check twice, save a life. Yield to emergency vehicles with lights and sirens on. Pull over as far as possible. When approaching emergency vehicles, slow down and move over.

Always following the rules of the road.

Motorcyclists and bicyclists are also reminded to take safety precautions. These include:

Being cautious of cars entering or exiting driveways, or backing up in a parking lot

As always, the North Haven Fire Department hopes everyone has a safe, healthy and happy summertime!
