Children’s birthday cakes shaped as favorite characters, such as action figures and princesses, have become all the rage at children’s birth-day parties. But the cost of the cake pan, ranging from $12 to $40 per pan — often only used once — has made creating these special shaped cakes almost cost prohibitive, until now.

“My son wanted a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle birthday cake for his sixth birthday, so I asked my friends if any-one had one I could borrow and a friend of mine said to check the North Haven li-brary,” said Renee Dagostine, mother of two from Shelton.

What Dagostine found was a catalog of more than 250 cake pans, as well as cookie

cutters, bread pans and muf-fin tins, available to check out free of charge.

“It’s so much fun offering this service and people are very amazed at our collec-tion,” said Pat LaTerza, head of Children’s Services at the North Haven Library.

The service started three years ago after LaTerza heard about a successful pan-bor-rowing program at a library in the mid-west. The North Haven library put a call out to the public for cake pan do-nations and slowly its collec-tion began to grow, as did the demand.

“It’s starting to catch on and we have more and more people coming in or calling, saying ‘do you really have cake pans?’” LaTerza said.

LaTerza said they loan out approximately 50 pans a month. Each item is indi-

vidually bagged with a set of instructions and an example photo of what the finished cake should look like. Pans can be checked out for one week and renewed twice.

A binder that holds infor-mation and photos on each item, often provided by those who borrowed the pan, is available in front of the mas-sive pan display located in the children’s department.

“Our assistant children’s li-brarian, Katherine Donohue, does a tremendous job orga-nizing and cataloging them all,” LaTerza said.

Anyone with a valid Connecticut library card may borrow the pans, no matter what town they reside it. All pans should be hand-washed before and after use and need to be returned to the North

A plan to install solar en-ergy panels on Universal Drive to provide energy for the North Haven sewer treat-ment plant will save the town more than $1 million over a 20 year period.

The plan was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission March 3.

The commission’s action approves a plan has been in the works for more than two years. The project must be approved by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection before installation of the so-

lar panels takes place, ac-cording to Andrew Chester, executive vice president of Greenskies Renewable Energy. Greenskies plans to sign a 20 year contact with the town to operate the so-lar panels and provide en-ergy for the sewer treatment plant.

Chester said installation usually takes six weeks and so the solar panels will begin operating this year, based on obtaining DEEP approval.

The deal is a win-win for the town, which doesn’t have to pay a dime for the project and will save $1.1 million over

20 years, according to First Selectman Mike Freda.

The town wi l l pay Greenskies seven cents per kilowatt hour, which is half the price currently paid to United Illuminating. The so-

lar energy panels produce 450,000 kilowatt hours per year.

The solar panels will be installed at 1122 Universal Drive, directly across from the sewer treatment plant. There are 15 rows of panels, with 68 panels on each row. The site was chosen because it provides elevation that will capture a significant amount of sunlight, Freda said.

The site for the solar pan-els is the old town dump. “My goal was to turn an un-derutilized asset into a reve-nue producer for the town,” Freda said. “The old field has been vacant for decades and we’ll use it for the solar pan-els to provide energy for the largest energy consumer in town.”

Freda said Greenskies will install a one-third megawatt facility with a virtual meter system that will produce en-ergy for the sewer treatment plant. “We hope to expand it to a one megawatt facility that can provide energy for

other buildings in town, in-cluding the swimming pool. Our goal is to save tax payer dollars by reducing energy costs,” he said.

The Planning & Zoning Commission approved the application unanimously af-ter the Greenskies’ presenta-tion. A commission member asked how the sewer treat-ment plant would get energy if the solar panels temporar-ily can’t provide it. Chester said the treatment plant will remain grid connected to UI. “In nighttime or bad weather it will seamlessly draw power from the grid,” he said.

Greenskies will install, maintain and replace the so-lar panels, if they become antiquated, at no cost to the town, Freda said. “It’s a good example of a project that was stalled in the beginning be-cause the contractor needed state subsidies to bring the project forward. It was re-jected in the first go around but we stayed with it and supported the project.”

North Haven can pride itself on its generosity and sense of caring, as businesses and local citizens frequently contribute to the Food Drive, sponsored by local churches, that oper-ates out of the North Haven Congregational Church on Church Street.

On Monday of this week, the Women’s Club of North Haven dropped off 75 pounds of food that had been donated by the Bristol Myers Squibb Global Biometric Science di-vision from Wallingford.

Club President Pam Lerner said the donation came to North Haven because a Wallingford food bank had shut down. The women’s club also makes its own donations. “Twelve members contribute over 60 pounds monthly,” she said.

Scott Morrow, minister of the Congregational Church, said the food drive has oper-ated at the church for 20 years, after it moved from the fire de-partment. It began as a holiday food drive at Thanksgiving and Christmas then expanded

to distribute non-perishable food items the rest of the year, with families receiving boxes of food once a month.

The holiday food drive in-cludes turkeys, fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy items, while soups, pastas, cereals and canned goods are distrib-uted the rest of the year.

Last year, 90 families re-

ceived food during the hol-idays. “We were nervous because 90 families was an all-time high, but there has been tremendous support from the community with food and cash donations,” Morrow said.

The harsh winter has also spiked need for food with

a great experience borrow-ing the cake pan for her son’s birthday; she has since gone back for pans for her daugh-ter’s birthday cakes as well. She pays it forward by provid-ing the library with photos of her finished product and shar-ing this find with her friends.

“It’s a fabulous service and I have been telling everyone about it,” said Dagostine. “I will definitely be back.”

Donations

30 to 32 families from North Haven now receiving monthly donations. “Higher heating bills this winter and cuts to the food stamp program com-bined to create more need,” Morrow said.

To donate non-perishable items to the food drive, drop them off at the church week-days from 8:30 to noon.

If your family needs food,

stop by or call the church at 203-239-5691 to arrange to receive a box of food each month.

Families who received food often become donors. “There have been lots of occasions in which someone who received food comes back and donates,” Morrow said. “The number of people who have experienced it from both sides reflects the generosity and compassion of the community.”

HARTFORD – Throughout the season of Lent, ev-ery Catholic church in the Archdiocese of Hartford will be open every Monday from 6 to 7 p.m. for priests to hear Confessions in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Lent began March 5 and ends Thursday, April 17. Lent is the 40-day liturgical sea-son of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving (acts of charity), leading up to Easter Sunday. This is the second year that the Archdiocese, comprised of 213 churches in Hartford, Litchfield and New Haven Counties, will sponsor the Lenten Confessional cam-paign, as a way for Roman Catholics to prepare for Easter.

The goal of the campaign is to make it easy for people to stop by any church on their way home from work, school, shopping or running errands.

Assistant Chancellor Father Jeffrey V. Romans, chair-person of the Archdiocesan Lenten Committee, said that last year the campaign was very effective because it in-vited everyone – no matter how long it had been since their last Confession -- to seek the grace and repen-tance and God’s mercy for their sins.

“Some who had been away from the Sacrament for de-cades told me that they felt revitalized afterwards,” said Romans, adding that it’s im-portant for people to know

that the primary role of a priest is not to judge but to encourage the penitent, just as Christ did. “We are all sin-ners, and it’s never too late to confess and do penance for one’s sins,” he said.

The campaign will be pub-licized on billboards across Connecticut highways and on radio in an effort to reach people who may not attend church regularly, or have been away from the Sacrament.

Archb ishop Leonard Blair calls the Sacrament of Reconciliation a gift.

“In confession, it is Christ himself who absolves us from sin through the minis-try of His priests. The gift of forgiveness, the gift of being able to start with a clean slate after doing wrong or failing in some way that weighs on your conscience is a blessing,” said the Archbishop. “Let the light of Divine Mercy shine on you this Lenten season.”

In order to alleviate any anxiety that people may have about going to Confession, the Archdiocese has designed a website: Light4you.info to help people prepare for the Sacrament. It addresses fre-quently asked questions, and features testimonials from people who share their expe-riences about receiving the Sacrament.

The Confess ions on Monday evenings will be in addition to the regular confession schedules that churches in the Archdiocese of Hartford follow during the year.

There is a problem with our health-care system today that transcends the political divide over Obamacare and the debate about how to best deliver quality, affordable care to every patient in America. The Greater New Haven region is fast becoming a microcosm for this problem and what it could mean to the future of the patient/doc-tor relationship and, more broadly, the future of health care in our country.

My father, the late Dr. Leonard A. Fasano, M.D., practiced internal medicine out of his Whalley Avenue office for more than half a century. He was also associated with both Yale-New Haven and Saint Raphael’s hospitals. If you were my father’s patient, you knew who your doctor was and you knew that he cared. He loved practicing medicine, but he loved the intimacy of the patient/doctor relationship more. And he knew that the close relationship was vital to his patients’ health.

After my father passed, one of his patients relayed a story about being on the phone with him and describing the symptoms of his own illness. During the conversation, my father overheard the patient’s wife coughing in the background. Having counseled the patient on the phone, my father changed the course of the conversation and asked how long his wife had been coughing and what other symptoms she was experiencing. My father told the man to bring her in for a check-up, where he quickly diagnosed her and cured her. This would not have happened if the patient was on the phone with a switchboard operator at an emergency room, or some other nameless, faceless voice at a city hospital.

It is tough enough on private medical prac-tices to try to survive in an environment where insurance companies dictate fees. Private prac-tices, like my father’s, have served families for generations and bring more than institutional knowledge to their craft; they bring personal knowledge, history and empathy. But, they are

going the way of the dinosaurs and not just because our lives are too busy to devote time to choosing a good family physician and the pressures exerted on them from insurance companies. Now they, and every patient, face a new threat, family physicians and their practices being bought out and closed by large institutional hospitals. The result is not just a lack of choice for medical care but also the erosion of the close family patient/doctor

relationship.Yale-New Haven Hospital, in particular,

has made a business of buying up small pri-vate practices throughout the New Haven area. They have exerted various pressures on our medical community that are forcing doctors out of private practice. Those efforts include, among the more direct methods, making the principal physician a financial offer they can’t refuse, providing them with a prestigious asso-ciation at the hospital, and then removing any financial incentive for them to keep their pri-vate practice open. Compare the yellow pages from a decade ago to the yellow pages of today and you will see what I mean. Yale-New Haven Hospital has bought out most of the best oncol-ogists and heart doctors in the region and they are beginning to target orthopedic physicians.

Why is this bad for our health care system? For one, it dilutes the patient/doctor relation-ship. The physician who may have served your family for generations and whose office was down the street from you, is no longer there. What is worse is that it is inconvenient, partic-ularly for the elderly, to see a doctor when they need to; when they know their only option is to travel into the city and see a relative stranger at a large public hospital.

The pace at which Yale-New Haven Hospital has gobbled up private practices also reduces competition in the marketplace and increases

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Courageous stepTo the editor:T h e N o r t h H a v e n

Education Association be-lieves anything less than full support for the Board of Education requested 3.7 per-cent budget increase will neg-atively impact our students and education system. We also feel that with the cuts the system has endured year in and year out, it is imperative that we begin to rebuild the support and resources teach-ers need to help students.

The BOE has taken the cou-rageous step of requesting a budget that begins, in a small measured way, to rebuild a system that has consistently been asked to function with less and less. This action needs to be supported by the PTSA, teachers and resi-dents of North Haven. We be-lieve the first selectman and the Board of Finance should both provide and support this budget. We ask that they give residents the opportunity to make this decision, after learning about the needs and rationale behind it.

We also believe the pro-posed construction of a new classroom wing and recondi-tioning of the remaining ar-eas of the middle school is needed to provide students a healthy, clean, safe and prop-erly configured environment in which to learn.

We understand that tax increases are always unwel-come, but without proper funding a carefully crafted system to meet the needs of all of North Haven children is in danger of not adequately providing for those students next year and beyond. Just as we need to do maintenance on our homes and sometimes recondition and or add on space; the time has come to provide a building that meets the needs of middle school students.

We ask residents to look at these as investments in North Haven’s future. They will pro-vide a solid foundation that can be built on for years to come.

It’s still winter. Have you noticed? We certainly have, and are pining for spring days that bring trips to the park and the ability to go outside without the task of rustling up the necessary snow gear. One of our fa-vorite activities during these cold, indoor days is visiting the Connecticut Science Center.

The science center is one of the most impres-sive places to take kids in Connecticut. Located in Hartford, it boasts 150 hands-on exhibits, a 3-D digital theater, and a wide

variety of top-ics to entertain family members of all ages in its 144,000 square foot building.

We have spent h o u rs ex p l o r -ing the multiple

floors and their dizzying array of educational fun, and my children, being four and six, particularly love the Lego Imagination Station, the Stream Table, and the Sight and Sound Experience.

There is always a travel-ing exhibit, and currently Lost in Egypt is on dis-play. When we visited last week, the kids deciphered

hieroglyphics, sat on a camel replica, and pieced together a 3-D pottery puzzle, pretend-ing to be archaeologists re-constructing a clay pot with found pieces. We explored photographs of ancient Egypt, comparing them to current day pictures depict-ing cities and children play-ing soccer, and saw a real life human mummy. It’s a very in-teresting exhibit, and will be available until May 4.

Usually when we visit, we arrive in the morning and pack a lunch to enjoy at the tables provided, or grab something from the onsite café. There is a third option now for hungry patrons, with a newly opened Subway.

Last spring, we pur-chased a family membership, and we have easily used it enough times to make that investment a great value. Sometimes the kids and I will have a few hours open up in the afternoon and zip up for a few hours. We may not have time to see every-thing, but that’s okay. We’ll be back soon to catch what we missed.

Every time we visit the science center, I pack extra clothing for my children. By far, their favorite spot in the vast building is the KidSpace

water area. Flanked by benches for the parents, kids wear bright blue smocks meant to keep water off the kids’ clothing — which work with varying degrees of suc-cess. The siren song of the Lego water table pulls my boy in and keeps him there for as long as I’ll allow, while his little sister grabs a con-tainer and gets to work fill-ing, dumping, refilling, and transferring water from one water table to another. There are bright plastic balls that are sucked into clear tubes and spit out somewhere else. It’s very cool, and even though you’ll see it as soon as you enter the center, make it your last stop, not your first, to keep clothing dry until the end.

The Connecticut Science Center is a wonderful place

to spend a cold, winter day, with or without children. It is located at 250 Columbus Boulevard, Hartford, near the convention center. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is available in the garage. See more information at www.CTsciencecenter.org.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS

The recent North Haven Community Service Awards Dinner honored four men for their service to North Haven. The annual awards event is sponsored by the Hamden Elks, serving Hamden and North Haven. Pictured, from left: First Selectman Michael Freda, Citizen of the Year Mark Minotti, Fire Chief Vincent Landisio, Outstanding Firefighter Lt. David Obier, State Representative David Yaccarino, Outstanding Volunteer Firefighter Robert Kovach, CT Elks Association and Hamden Lodge Past President Philip Wilson, Outstanding Police Officer Alan J. Cantele, and Hamden Lodge President Alton Hudson. | Submitted by Josephine O’Neil.

The town’s Department of Public Works has scheduled a two week curbside collection program for bulk items to the residents of North Haven, effective Monday, March 31, according to First Selectman Michael J. Freda. Bulk items are defined as large upholstered items (couches, chairs, mattresses, box springs, love seats, sectionals and recliner chairs), appliances (washers, dryers, refrigera-tors, ranges and dishwashers) and scrap metals (curtain rods, bicycles, metal tables, metal ladders, lawn mowers, metal grills, air conditioners, etc.).

Wood items are not considered bulk. Wood items, in-cluding wooden chairs, tables, bookcases, etc., can be in-cinerated and therefore will be picked up with the weekly curbside sanitation collection.

Residents should place bulk items for pick-up at the curb, with the regular sanitation and recycling contain-ers, by 5 a.m. on the designated sanitation collection day.

Electronics such as televisions, stereos, computers, copiers, fax machines, etc. must be brought to the Town’s Recycling Center, on Elm Street. By law, electronics must be recycled and disposal is available for all North Haven residents at no cost.

For more information, contacting the Department of Public Works at (203) 239-5321, ext. 400.

costs to patients. A constit-uent of mine was recently charged two co-pays (a doc-tor’s fee and a facility fee) by Yale-New Haven Hospital for a visit that used to cost just one co-pay through their fam-ily physician.

Twenty or 25 years ago, I remember my father warn-ing of the day when family physicians and private prac-tices would become a thing of the past. He feared that a fo-cus on profits over outcomes

would result in patients be-ing viewed as “numbers in-stead of people.” If we do not do something soon to refocus our priorities on outcomes over profits, I am afraid that his fear may be realized.

What is happening in the New Haven region is akin to a monopoly and it needs to be stopped, or regulated. To be sure, Yale-New Haven Hospital is one of the pre-eminent medical institutions in the world and they should have a seat at the table when we look for a solution to this problem. But, let us take steps now to improve health care by ending this dangerous trend, restoring the patient/doctor relationship, and re-establish-ing the New Haven region as a model for healthcare delivery in America.

State Sen. Len Fasano, R-34, represents the commu-nities of East Haven, Durham, Wallingford and his home-town of North Haven in the Connecticut General Assembly.

Sports

North Haven students who play soccer at the high school and middle school and want

to play in college attended College Soccer Night at the high school Monday, where college coaches and players provided insights into what has become one of America’s

most popular sports.“The recruiting process

has changed as soccer has grown more popular,” said North Haven High School soccer coach Federico Fiondella, who introduced the panel of about 20 indi-viduals, including coaches from Quinnipiac University, Fairf ield University and Albertus Magnus College.

A variety of subjects were covered, from recruiting and scholarships to the use of so-cial media by students.

Eric DaCosta, the men’s soccer coach at Quinnipiac, started by advising students to deemphasize soccer when they are applying to college. “Academics come first,” he said, “and you should take soccer out of the equation. The location and size of the school are also important.”

DaCosta advised students to narrow down schools with soccer programs (there are over 800 at Division I, II and III levels in the U.S.) and find

one that fits their level of play.

The coaches also discussed NCAA regulatory compli-ance issues, noting that the NCAA requires incoming soccer players to take 16 ap-proved courses and main-tain at least a 2.0 grade-point level, with some schools maintaining their own eligi-bility standards.

When athletic scholar-ships were discussed, Jim Bernardo, head coach of the Albertus Magnus men’s team said Division III schools don’t offer athletic scholarships, with Merit scholarships and other financial aid available.

When the talk turned to so-cial media, DaCosta said stu-dents are spending so much time with it and they should leave their phones at home when they meet with college coaches. He also said, “You should be careful what you put on Facebook and Twitter because we look at it. It tells a lot about you, and coaches

are responsible for you, so we have to make sure we bring good kids in.”

There were many North Haven high school and mid-dle school students in the audience and one former North Haven High School student was on stage. Neekoli Calerdon graduated last year and is a freshman at Central Connecticut State University. He said he was recruited by CCSU and chose it over Penn State and Quinnipiac after it offered him a partial ath-letic scholarship. “Penn State didn’t offer me one and QU didn’t offer one for freshman year,” he said.

CCSU sent Calerdon an email and invited him to clinic try outs. “I attended three with 50 to 60 kids and was nominated MVP for the clinic,” he said. “I played in 16 of 18 games this sea-son, we were New England Conference champions and lost a playoff game to St. Francis.”
