Sixty-two percent of North Haven voters went to the polls Tuesday, a large num-ber that was fueled by the close governor’s race and the state representative contest that saw Dave Yaccarino win reelection over Alden Mead by a comfortable margin.

Yaccarino garnered 6,569 votes to 2,702 for Mead.

In the governor’s race, un-decided at the time of fil-ing, Tom Foley nipped Gov. Dan Malloy 4,923 to 4,363 in North Haven with petition-ing candidate Joe Visconti, who dropped out of the race Nov. 2, receiving 89 votes.

Yaccarino said, “I worked hard and have a good team

behind me. I’m very hon-ored and humbled about the residents who came out to vote for me. I ran an hon-est campaign and I’m proud of that and that the people of North Haven trust me. It was a good race and we both worked hard.”

Mead, a political novice running his first campaign, said, “The process worked out for me but the numbers did not. But that’s okay be-cause the process of doing it was more important. I started pretty late and couldn’t catch up with knocking on enough doors.”

Both candidates stressed it was a clean campaign, unlike the governor’s race, which was plagued by neg-ative advertising. “My in-

tent was to make it that way [clean, and focused on the issues] and Dave was a guy who would respond the same way,” Mead said. “The town of North Haven showed what a good election is supposed to be.”

On election day, voters left the polls critiquing the neg-ativity of the governor’s race and supporting both Yacca-rino and Mead.

Jackie Cotier said the gov-ernor’s race “was a little more bashing than usual. It’s not something we really want to see, we’d rather see the good things they’re do-ing. The positive outweighs the negative impact.”

Jay Cretella said, “The

A compelling read for Veterans Day is “Portrait of an Immigrant,” which tells the family story of Stephen Bachleda, the North Haven resident who served in Ko-rea after his two older brothers fought in World War II. His nephew died in service in Vietnam.

The self-published memoir tells the captivating story

Providing free breakfasts to North Haven’s veterans and funds for a range of local charities is the theme of the North Haven Rotary Club’s all-you-can eat pan-cake breakfast on Sunday, Nov. 9 at the North Haven Middle School.

The breakfast, to be held two days before Veterans Day, is the club’s sixth annual event that honors the brave men and women who are serving, or have served, in our military. They get free tickets to the breakfast, which are being sold to residents for $5.

The Importance of Being Earnest, an Oscar Wilde social comedy, will be performed Friday and Saturday night at North Haven High School.

The fall comedy features a small cast and differs im-mensely from last fall’s pro-duction of The Laramie Project. “Laramie Project was an ensemble series dra-matic production and this is a smaller cast comedy,” said as-sistant director Kevin Liftig, a math teacher at the high school. “It’s a Victorian com-edy with witty banter back and forth, everyone’s lying and pretending and gets in trouble before everything is revealed in Act 3.”

The comedy concerns two dashing men-about-town who pursue two fair ladies and pose as Ernests in an imagi-nary character madcap.

The fair ladies, Gwendolyn and Cecily, are played by se-nior Emma Griffiths and soph-omore Elie Mountcastle.

“This is my ninth play and I’ve been in every produc-tion since freshman year,” Emma said. “Playing Gwen-dolyn is lots of fun because she’s overdramatic and loves being in the spotlight. My last fall play is my favorite play and it makes the whole year worthwhile.”

“This is my first play here,” Elie said. “Cecily is a charac-ter who wants to be watched, and that’s who I am, I’m over the top. I love Cecily and was so happy when I got the part.”

The male leads, Jack and Al-gernon, are played by junior Noah Ramos and freshman Spenser Long.

Kathryn Monigan, the di-rector, who teaches social studies and theater, said, “We selected the play to offer stu-dents as many diverse the-ater experiences as possible. This is a classical comedy, so

they can take a stab at clas-sical theater and leave here with a plethora of theatrical experience.”

The show will be performed Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.

at the Patricia K. Brozek The-ater. Tickets, $10 for adults and $8 for students, are avail-able at the door. The box of-fice opens 30 minutes before show time.

Breakfast

Local schools and non-profit organizations selling tickets for the breakfast will receive a $2 commission for every ticket sold, making it “a win-win for both organi-zations,” according to Nick D’Ambrosia, Rotary Club president.

The breakfast, which takes place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., features pancakes, sausage, juice, coffee and tea. Live en-tertainment will be provided by the Music Center of North

Haven and a Veterans of For-eign Wars color guard will perform.

The Rotary Club will also raise money through a raf-fle and book fair held at the breakfast. D’Ambrosia esti-mates the event will raise at least $5,000, which will bene-fit the club’s community ser-vice projects, including the town food pantry, scholarship program, Special Olympics, Animal Haven and the North Haven public library.

Tickets will also be avail-able at the door.

North Haven Police re-sponded to a Quinnipiac Avenue parking lot at 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 2 for a report of a stabbing. Lieutenant Kevin Glenn reported that estranged brothers were at a local physical reha-bilitation facility visiting their father when an argu-ment ensued. The brothers walked to the parking lot to

continue the argument and a physical confrontation took place. During the fight, Richard Jeannette, who re-sides in Meriden, stabbed his brother in the torso. The victim fled to his Hamden residence and called author-ities. He was treated on the scene by Hamden Fire Res-cue and then transported to an area hospital where

he was treated for the non-life threatening injury. Rich-ard Jeannette, 42, was taken into custody and charged with Assault First Degree, and Disorderly Conduct. He was held on a $100,000 bond and arraigned in Mer-iden Superior Court oMon-day morning.

Memoir

of Bachleda, who was born in Slovakia in 1931 and grew up in a large family with a lov-ing mother and an alcoholic father, who left for Amer-ica in the days before Hitler and was able to send for his family.

Bachleda arrived in New York in 1939 and grew up in the Bronx, which he calls a melting pot where he met children of all nationalities, snuck into the Bronx Zoo, Giants games at the Polo Grounds, and took a memo-rable swim at Orchard Beach.

His older brothers John and Tony served in World War II, John in the Pacific and Tony in Europe, where he was wounded in the as-sault on Normandy and taken prisoner.

Bachleda was proud of his brothers’ service and en-listed in the Army during the Korean War. He managed to avoid serving in Korea and was sent to England, where he worked as a cook and met his first wife, Maureen, during a day off in London.

The family story moved to Connecticut after the war, when Bachleda’s sister, Rose, moved to East Hampton with her husband, Richie, who worked as a typesetter and got his brother-in-law inter-ested in the field. Bachleda then devoted his career to typesetting, starting at a

printing plant in New Haven before venturing out on his own.

Bachleda started Typo-graphic Art, which was lo-cated briefly in North Haven before expanding in Ham-den. The firm’s first job was a catalog for the Asgrow Seed Company and it went to work for major companies around the country and produced holiday brochures for the White House.

Bachleda was invited to the White House after the job was done and writes, “Who would have ever thought, during those early years in Czecho-slovakia that we would now be standing in the Rose Gar-den at the White House! I think my mother would have been very pleased and proud to see that.”

The book also includes a wealth of family photos, the most striking being a por-trait of the Acquitania, “the Ship Beautiful,” that brought Bachleda’s family to Amer-ica, and Point Du Hoc, the Normandy cliff where Tony fought before he was cap-tured and taken prisoner.

Bachleda devotes the book to his mother, who died in 1964, and to other members of his family, including To-ny’s son, Bernd, who died in Vietnam on his 21st birthday in 1968.

The book, self-published at CreateSpace, is available from Amazon and Kindle and can be ordered at Barnes & No-ble. Copies are also for sale at Mary’s Helpers on Broadway.

Bachleda, 83, who has lived on Washington Avenue in North Haven since 1998 with his wife Mona Rae, writes of his family’s military service, “Life in America has been very good to us. We have tried to show our gratitude by doing our duty and serv-ing in the armed forces in defense of our country. God Bless America!”

bashing was personal be-tween Foley and Malloy. The two of them were really good at it.”

Mary Civitello supported Yaccarino along with Len Fa-sano who ran unopposed for state senator. The pair, along with First Selectman Mike Freda “make a good trio for the town,” she said.

Glenn Parisi supported Fo-ley and Yaccarino. “As long as we get rid of the current governor I’m happy. And I’m happy with Dave Yaccarino, I’ve known him a long time,” he said.

Phil Berge-Liberman sup-

ported Mead. “It would be good to have Mead represent the district because he’s from the majority party. It might be better to have someone in the majority because he can do more.”

The town counted 81 elec-tion day registration ballots in the second year of EDR voting. There were only 10 last year. Elaine LaVelle, a moderator at the Recreation Center, said she sent six vot-ers to the town hall where they registered and voted.

Rosa DeLauro won a 13th term in the House of Repre-sentatives over Republican James Brown. North Haven supported her 5,597 to 3,595.

Are You Looking for aNew Way to Get Healthy?

I am a Chiropractor today because my life was turned around by the power of an adjustment. As a young child, I suffered from a myriad of unexplained health issues.My mother did not know where to turn. When I was 6 years old, I began getting adjusted regularly. Immediately, my health improved and I began to thrive like a normal child should. Then in 1990, I fractured my spine during a ski-ing accident. My choice to seek chiropractic care quite literally saved my life. My body was able to heal without risky drugs or surgery. Had I not known about the power of Chiropractic, I may not be here to share my story. Our principle is simple, your body has the power to heal itself; it was de-signed that way. This power flows from your brain to your body over the spinal cord and vast network of nerves. When stresses in our lives cause a shift in the spinal bones, there is interference in that brain to body connection. Over time, this leads to dysfunction, and often sickness, pain and disease.

I want to be your family’sChiropractor.

We have one goal in our office: to remove this interference so that your innate healing power flows and your body works perfectly, the way it was in-tended to. We have created an environment that allows you to get adjusted in an efficient and affordable way. Since 1996, Dr. Dawn Tobin has helped thousands of people regain their health with natural chiropractic care.

If you are frustrated with your current state of health and looking to try something new, please call our office today to schedule a NO-CHARGE CONVERSATION with the doctor. Find out how we can help!

Experience you can

trust!

Letters to the Editor

Make your voice heard Nov. 10

To the editor:I am writing to encour-

age readers and residents of the Town of North Haven to attend an important Plan-ning and Zoning meeting, this Monday, Nov. 10, at the Recreation Center’s Gymna-sium, 7 Linsley St., at 7 p.m. This PZC meeting is very important. Please spread the word to your friends and neighbors.

There are several items of interest. There will be a public hearing of CWRE Management, LLC and CMB Capital Appreciation LLC, owner relative to Half Mile Road to hear a Proposed Residential Development. Their proposal must stay within the parameters of the court settlement. Please plan to come, listen and ask questions.

Also, on the agenda, is an application for an amend-ment to the North Haven Zoning Regulations to add

Section 8.8.8 to allow Out-door Advertising Signs. The proposed amendment is on file at the Land Use Depart-ment. Some of the details include: on properties which abut the Interstate-91 cor-ridor, signs can be as tall as 59 feet, and as large as 899 square feet, signs can be double-sided, signs can be illuminated and can have in-termittent variation in the il-lumination. Please come out and voice your opposition to this. Tell the PZC you do not want our beautiful town to turn into the Boston Post Road with giant-sized and illuminated signs!

Finally, it is possible the PZC will deliberate on 518 Clintonville Road, which, as a reminder, is a proposal by North Haven Opportunity for Affordable Housing to over-develop an R-40 zoned parcel by building eight rental apartments where only one home is permitted per acre.

History of Veterans Day

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles out-side the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or tem-porary cessation of hostil-ities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

In November 1919, Pres-ident Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armi-stice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with sol-emn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the oppor-tunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

The original concept for

the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m.

The United States Con-gress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:

Whereas the 11th of No-vember 1918, marked the cessation of the most de-structive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be com-memorated with thanksgiv-ing and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding be-tween nations; and

Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Re-solved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the Presi-dent of the United States is

requested to issue a proc-lamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.

History

An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday — a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primar-ily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the great-est mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urg-ing of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower is-sued the first “Veterans Day Proclamation” which stated: “In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all vet-erans, all veterans’ orga-nizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common pur-pose. Toward this end, I am designating the Administra-tor of Veterans’ Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible.”

On that same day, Presi-dent Eisenhower sent a let-ter to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs (VA), des-ignating him as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee.

In 1958, the White House advised VA’s General Coun-sel that the 1954 designation

of the VA Administrator as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee applied to all subsequent VA Administrators. Since March 1989 when VA was elevated to a cabinet level department, the Secre-tary of Veterans Affairs has served as the committee’s chairman.

The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day week-ends for Federal employees by celebrating four na-tional holidays on Mondays: Washington’s Birthday, Me-morial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cul-tural activities and stimulate greater industrial and com-mercial production. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates.

The first Veterans Day under the new law was ob-served with much confu-sion on October 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citi-zens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual obser-vance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming major-ity of state legislatures, all major veterans service orga-nizations and the American people.

Veterans Day continues to be observed on Novem-ber 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veter-ans Day to November 11 not only preserves the histori-cal significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Hair Cuttery on Uni-versal Drive will celebrate Veterans Day by donating free haircuts to veterans.

For every adult haircut purchased on Nov. 11, a free haircut will be donated to a veteran in the community.

“In honor of our 40th year, we expanded Share-a-Haircut beyond the original program to bene-fit veterans,” said Dennis Ratner, founder and CEO of the Hair Cuttery chain, which has nearly 900 loca-tions in New England and

the Midwest. “The men and women who have served our country have given so much. It is our honor to give back to them. We hope in some small way we are able to help those who have sacrificed so much for our country.”

The Share-a-Haircut program is in its 15th year and has reached more than 900,000 children and more than 100,000 homeless people and victims of do-mestic abuse through hair certificate donations, val-ued at more than $13.5 mil-lion. The company hopes to reach 25,000 veterans this year.

Young vets face tough issues, says VFW VIP

This generation’s veter-ans are facing a number of new challenges, according to the Senior Vice Command-er-in-Chief of the United States Veterans of Foreign Wars, John Biedrzycki. Those trials include problems with the Department of Veterans Affairs and predatory educa-tional programs that take ad-vantage of VA benefits.

Biedrzycki recently visited six locations in Connecticut, including the Berlin VFW. The second in command of

the national VFW leadership, Biedrzycki will likely become commander-in-chief, accord-ing to tradition, explained Berlin VFW Post Commander Tom Uznanski.

Uznanski said it was a great honor for such an important VFW leader to come to town.

Biedrzycki spoke with lo-cal veterans on a number of topics, including the aging population of VFW mem-bership. This is one reason, Uznanski and Biedrzycki agreed, the VFW should pay special attention to the issues faced by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

“The whole mission of the VFW is veterans helping vet-erans,” Uznanski said.

“Each generation of vet-erans has different issues,” Biedrzycki said. Many of the aging veterans, for example,

were exposed to Agent Or-ange, including Biedrzycki himself.

This next generation of veterans includes 12,000 am-putees, Biedrzycki said, and more is being discovered

about traumatic brain injury, and how it relates to PTSD.

“These young men and women need help and guid-ance when they come back

While the nation pays close attention to each new case of ebola, Quinnipiac Univer-sity nursing and medical students got a heads up on the disease at a workshop at the North Haven campus on Oct. 22.

Nearly 1,200 students attended the event in which three medical school faculty mem-bers discussed ebola and students received hands-on training in the use of personal pro-tective equipment, including gowns, masks and gloves.

Lisa O’Connor, chair of the undergraduate nursing program, said, “The workshop was held to inform students on ebola and make sure they’re up to date. The key is education and with so many rumors it’s important for students to be educated on what is fact and make sure they’re on the same page, from an educational perspective.”

The ebola facts were provided by Quinnip-iac medical school professors Stephen Wikel, David Hill and Thomas Murray. “They pro-vided a full presentation of how the ebola vi-rus is transmitted and what it looks like under a microscope,” O’Connor said. “They also ex-plained how to protect yourself as a health care provider.”

The lecture by the three professors was fol-lowed by an overview and supervised practice in the use of personal protective equipment.

Second year medical student Edward Ko-bayashi, who attended the workshop, said, “As health profession students it was very import-ant to gain additional knowledge about the ebola virus disease and reinforce the impor-tance of proper personal protective equip-ment to protect both patients and health care workers. It was nice to see the inter-profes-sional response and efforts of our campus community.”

Montowese school to hold Vendor Village Fair

The Montowese Elemen-tary School is offering an easy way to get a start on holiday shopping that will also help benefit its students.

The school will hold its 2nd annual Vendor Village Fair Saturday, Nov. 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the school, located at 145 Fitch St.

“We were so thrilled with last years turnout and the positive response from

our vendors that this was something we wanted to do again,” said Carlene Magro, member of the Montowese Elementary School PTA.

There are more than 35 vendors participating in-cluding Pampered Chef, Stampin’ Up!, Tastefully Simple, Premier Designs Jewelry, Beachbody Fit-ness, Lucky Girl Candles, Jamberry Nails, Thirty-One Gifts and more.

“We have a good variety and a different mix of ven-dors this year,” said Magro.

The New Haven Pizza Truck, Sugar Bakery Cup-cake Truck and Spud Stud (Baked Potato) Food Truck will be outside and donating a portion of their proceeds to the event. Baked goods and other foods will be avail-able for purchase inside.

Last year, the fair raised nearly $2,500. The event pro-ceeds go to the PTA, which in turn funds student field trips and school functions.

Magro said fundraisers such as this give the kids a chance to be exposed to new

experiences and prevent parents from always having to pay out of pocket.

“Any way the PTA can help out to make it easier for everyone, we do.”

The Vendor Village is held several weeks before the holidays so items can be or-dered at the event and deliv-ered on time.

Organizers are still look-ing for vendor representa-tion at the event. Vendors keep any profits generated that day but are asked to do-nate a raffle prize.

In addition to the donated vendor items, this year there will be a grand prize raffle that features a family four-pack of tickets for the Polar Express train experience in Essex.

To participate in the Vil-lage Vendor Fair as a vendor, send an email to: [email protected] for an application. The application deadline is Nov. 7.

More information on the event can be found on the Facebook page “Montowese Elementary School.”

Faith

Faith United Methodist Church began hosting a com-munity Bible study on Nov. 5.

The Bible study covers the Book of Revelation, which pastor Jerry Jones called the most controversial book of the Bible. “We will be exam-ining this book over its 2,000-year history,” he said. “Was it futuristic prophesy or a his-tory book? A divine message or early Church propaganda? A message of hope or doom?”

Jones leads the Bible stud-ies, which will be held every Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m.

All are welcome. Bring a Bible, beliefs and questions. Faith United Methodist Church is located at 81 Clin-tonville Road.

Vets

and we are an excellent or-ganization for that,” Biedrzy-cki said. “The commitment to veterans doesn’t end when the battle is over. The true cost of service lasts a life-time,” the senior vice com-mander added.

Among the challenges vet-erans face when returning home are things that can be

addressed by state laws. Bie-drzycki spoke with local leg-islators, including House Majority Leader Aresimo-wicz and Southington state Rep. Dave Zoni, about some of these challenges.

Some veterans, for ex-ample, are exploited by in-surance companies upon returning home, Biedrzycki argued. After having car in-surance lapsed while over-

seas, veterans are given the much higher introductory in-surance rates upon their re-turn. “We need consideration at the state level,” Biedrzycki said, to agreement from legis-lators present.

On the national level, Bie-drzycki said the VFW is very concerned about the Veter-ans Administration and VA funding. “Every year we go and testify (before Congress) and hear the same thing, time after time,” Biedrzycki said. “Veterans need more timely and effective care.”

Healthcare isn’t the only issue affecting young vets, however, according to Bie-drzycki. The VFW has estab-lished a hotline for veterans because so many are having trouble with their educa-tional benefits.

“These young men and women need to watch out for fly-by-night schools,” Bie-drzycki added.

“Veterans are given false promises of career success and then leave the programs no better off,” Biedrzycki said.

Some for-profit educa-tional programs, according to Biedrzycki, target veterans because of their educational benefits.

As Alexandera Rice re-ported for The Huffington Post, a loophole exists re-garding for-profit colleges and veterans benefits in the 90-10 rule. The rule normally requires for-profit colleges to receive no more than 90 percent of their income from federal student aid sources, including grants or loans, and at least 10 percent should come from students or par-ents directly. In effect, this means that tuition cost ver-sus the value of the education has to be at a level such that students as a whole (though not as individuals) are willing

and able to pay 10 percent. The veterans loophole al-

lows colleges to count bene-fits through the New GI Bill as part of the 10 percent of the 90-10 rule. As a result, some for-profit colleges are incen-tivized to recruit as many veterans as possible, as they offer a way to help balance their books, Rice reported.

“I’ve seen too much of it,” Biedrzycki said of the pred-atory educational programs.

U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin released a report in 2012 following a two-year investi-gation of for-profit colleges. In a statement released to The New York Times, Har-kin reported finding “over-whelming documentation of exorbitant tuition, aggressive recruiting practices, abysmal student outcomes, taxpayer dollars spent on market-ing and pocketed as profit, and regulatory evasion and manipulation.”

Not all the discussion was grave at the VFW, however. Upon greeting some Army veterans, Biedrzycki, an Army vet himself, joked “I knew there was something I liked about you.”

“When the chips are down, we stick together, but it’s a great source of merriment and humor when we kid each other about our background,” Biedrzycki explained, recall-ing some recent jokes be-tween him and some Navy veterans.
