The North Haven Music Center continued its role as a community leader in music education when 67 students performed at the holiday concert at the Recreation Center before the tree lighting ceremony Dec. 7.

Observers marveled at the diver-sity of the performers, who played piano and other instruments and sung a wide range of holiday favorites.

“We don’t have a problem get-ting students to perform,” said Mark Minotti, who runs the center with his wife, Mary Minotti. “They enjoy camaraderie with each other and their goal is to touch everyone

Five towns in Connecticut have re-ceived moratoriums to protect them from strictures of the 8-30g statute that developers have used to overturn town decisions denying their residen-tial housing proposals, but North Ha-ven does not qualify because it lacks enough affordable housing.

The law calls for 10 percent of town housing to be affordable, and North Ha-ven has 4.27 percent, so First Select-man Mike Freda plans to increase the number of affordable units to comply with a state point system. North Haven is required to have 190 points and cur-rently has 120.

The number of units the town needs to add are based on the occupant’s per-centage of median income, with differ-ent point amounts awarded for each unit.

“The idea is to get to where we can apply for the moratorium, but we don’t qualify now because of the point sys-tem,” Freda said.

North Haven residents frequently oppose new housing proposals because the number of units exceeds town zon-ing restrictions and the congestion threatens quality of life. Developers have used the 8-30g statute to win ap-proval of plans denied by the Planning & Zoning Commission, so a morato-rium from the statute would allow the town to deny upcoming proposals.

Freda said he is looking for develop-ers who will build senior or workforce housing that qualifies as affordable in areas that are not residential.

The 8-30g statute was amended this year to grant Milford a temporary one-year moratorium, allowing 6 percent affordable housing instead of the stan-dard 10. It was made retroactive to the beginning of the year and will expire Dec. 31.

If North Haven wanted to apply for a temporary moratorium it would have to get a new bill passed in the next leg-islative session that begins in January, according to Mike Santoro, community

State Rep. Dave Yaccarino was renamed to his post as leading Republican lawmaker on the legislature’s Veterans’

Affairs Com-mittee, a re-sponsibility he takes great pride in.

“I’m proud to be on the committee,” he said. “It doesn’t get the limelight of other com-

mittees but I have a passion for it.”

Incoming House Repub-lican leader Rep. Themis Klarides named Yaccarino to the post. “Yaccarino has worked diligently as the Ranking Member on Veter-ans’ Affairs,” Klarides said. “I am confident he will continue to help shape important legis-lation, and we depend on our

ranking and committee mem-bers to be our watchdog.”

“Securing basic necessities and shelter for Connecticut’s homeless veterans is one of the most worthwhile endeav-ors we could tackle this leg-islative session,” Yaccarino said. “As Ranking Member of the Veterans’ Commit-tee, I will continue to work together with other legisla-tors to support the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.”

Yaccarino said there are 270,000 Connecticut vet-erans, from World War II to the present, and 70 per-cent of recent veterans suf-fer from mental health issues and some are homeless.

“We need more veterans housing in Connecticut and need to solve the issues of homelessness and stress dis-order,” he said.

Yaccarino criticized the state budget office for plac-ing $5.8 million in federal grants for veterans affairs

into the general fund. “I’m not trying to blame anybody. When you’re running a defi-cit you take the money where you get it and use it plug up a hole.”

One hole Yaccarino strives for the state to fill is funding for all veterans issues. “We have to come up with money to make sure veterans homes are livable and we can treat veterans with stress disor-ders, drug and alcohol addic-tion and make it easier for veterans to get jobs,” he said.

On Dec. 18, Yaccarino col-lected gift donations at the state capitol for the Con-necticut Veterans Home in Rocky Hill. “Through this annual Secret Santa event we are providing basic neces-sities to the nearly 400 vet-erans residing at the Rocky Hill facility,” Yaccarino said. “There is no greater impera-tive than to help those who have served our country, es-pecially during this holiday season.”

First Selectman Michael Freda may soon need a bigger office to collect all the awards

he has won for his economic prowess.

Last month he was named a Celebrate CT! honoree by the Connecticut Economic Resource Center and on Dec. 10 he received a 2104 CEDAS Member of the Year award from the Connecti-cut Economic Development Association.

The award is given to CE-DAS members who have exhibited leadership in eco-nomic development and im-plemented initiatives that have produced real results in the past year.

Elizabeth Stocker, pres-ident of CEDAS and the director of economic devel-opment for Norwalk, said Freda is “an active contribu-tor to economic development in the state and promotes the

North Haven community for business. He has also been a participant in initiatives that have been regional in nature, including the Corridor Advi-sory Committee on the rail line.”

CEDAS also recognized Freda for his participation on a variety of boards, including the South Central Regional Council of Governments, the Connecticut Council of Small Towns and the Police Offi-cer Standards and Training Council.

“I’m honored to receive this award, but I’m never satisfied,” Freda said. “We will continue to do what-ever we can to move North Haven forward in a positive, professional and productive fashion in all aspects of this government.”

Medical facilities a boon for local business

The arrival of the Yale-New Haven Hospital North Haven Medical Center and the Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine on Devine Street doesn’t just benefit patients, pets and the town’s tax rolls. Small businesses like Stel-lato’s Deli & Catering on State Street have grown substantially, too.

“Business has been better every year since we opened in 2010 and since the Yale complex moved to Devine Street we’ve seen a 15 to 20 percent spike in business,” said Steve Stellato, who owns the family business.

“It all has to do with the multiplier effect,” said Richard LoPresti, chair-man of the North Haven Economic De-velopment Commission. “When new businesses come in they support other businesses.”

The spike in Stellato’s business comes from employees at Yale-New Haven and Central Hospital and cater-

ing events that are held by area busi-nesses. Stellato’s catered a buffet for 120 at Connecticut Container on Sack-ett Point Road on Dec. 11.

“Every holiday season gets busier, and we cater weddings, too,” Stellato said.

Stellato’s took over the Dylan’s Deli location in October 2010 and changed the name to Stellato’s in early 2011. What started out as an Italian deli has been converted into what Stellato calls “a melting pot menu” with Italian en-trées deemphasized for traditional deli fare, homemade soups and fresh salads.

LoPresti said other new businesses on State Street , including Red Thread and Pack Rat at 297 State, assist Stel-lato’s, and the Village on State Street senior housing will also be a boost. “That’s the whole idea, one thing feeds off the other, which is very important to economic development.” He said the up-tick in Stellato’s business also assist other businesses, including their suppliers.

Stellato’s staff includes Jim DeLong, Kristin Clement, Ralph Bonanno and Steve Stellato. | Ken Liebeskind / The North Haven Citizen

LOVE FROM BACK HOME

Junior Girl Scout Troop 60109 sent handmade, holiday greetings to U.S. troops at a recent meeting.

Everybody likes to receive gifts, and at this time of year, it is not unusual for a deliv-ery company to show up at your door with a package. However, Connecticut Better Business Bureau is reminding consumers to be wary of un-solicited delivery company emails.

In a typical case, an email will say that the company made one or more unsuccess-ful attempts to deliver a pack-age, and will contain a link to what is supposed to be an in-voice or shipping document. By clicking the link, you will download a virus that can sniff around your computer for personal and financial information.

The scammers often im-personate well-known ship-pers or steal the identities of popular retailers to appear more legitimate. With the chaos of the holidays, con artists know that people may be more likely to ignore the warning signs of a fake pack-age notice, especially if they are getting a head start on holiday shopping and expect-ing an actual delivery.

Consumers should keep in mind that in the event of a missed delivery, the driver will leave a ticket at the door to arrange for a subsequent delivery or pickup at the de-pot. Better Business Bureau suggests the following tips if you receive package delivery notice in an email:

Watch for poor spelling or grammatical errors. Fraudu-lent email is often filled with typos and misspellings be-cause many of them originate in countries where the scam-mers’ knowledge of English is limited.

Ignore calls for “immediate action.” The con artists often claim that they have made multiple attempts to contact you and that if you don’t act immediately, you will no lon-ger be able to retrieve your package. Scammers create a false sense of urgency in an effort to get their victims to react on an emotional basis and let their guard down.

Just because an email may display a well-known compa-

ny’s logo or appear to come from a reputable source, it doesn’t always mean that it’s legitimate. Fake email ad-dresses may vary somewhat from the real ones and it’s easy for a scammer to copy and paste a company’s logo or text into their message.

A good rule of thumb is to never click on any links or download files from unfamil-iar email addresses. Remem-ber that a hyperlink may not actually lead to where it’s claiming to go. By right click-ing on it and selecting “copy link address,” you can paste the link in a text document to see its true destination.

If you are expecting a deliv-ery and concerned that there may be a legitimate delivery problem, contact the com-pany directly using verifiable contact information .

Did your package disap-pear? At this time of year, mil-lions of people ship packages to friends and family across the country. Unfortunately, theft of parcels delivered to businesses and individu-als also increases during the holidays. Thieves have even been known to follow trucks to steal packages as soon as

they are delivered.If you place an order on-

line, BBB recommends keep-ing a copy of the order form and tracking number, and fol-lowing the shipment until its final destination. Here is a checklist to help make sure your package is received by your intended recipients:

• Insure all packages• Require a signature for

delivery• Have packages delivered

to a post office, UPS, FEDEX, or other carrier’s facility

• Ask a friend or neigh-bor to accept or pick up your packages

• If allowed, ship packages to your office

• Let recipients know that a package is on the way and when to expect it to arrive. Follow up to make sure it was received

If you think a package was lost or stolen:

• Make sure that it’s not a simple mistake such as the driver leaving the package out of sight

• Ask a neighbor if they saw the delivery

• Contact the shipper to

development specialist at the state’s Office of Housing De-velopment and Finance. But Freda said, “If we wanted to pursue the Milford model we’d have to add hundreds of units to even approach 6 percent.”

The other towns in the state that have received 8-30g moratoriums are Ber-lin, Ridgefield, Trumbull and

Darien. Berlin and Ridge-field’s four-year moratoriums are currently active, Darien’s expired in October and it filed an application for a new mor-atorium on Dec. 19. Trumbull was granted two moratori-ums that expired.

No towns have had their applications for moratoriums denied, Santoro said. “Com-munities won’t file if they’re not qualified, because it’s a detailed application process.”

with music.”It was the 23rd year Mu-

sic Center and Minotti Music students have performed at the holiday concert, accord-ing to Mark Minotti.

The Music Center opened in 2011, replacing Minotti Music, which Mark and Mary operated before leav-ing the business temporarily when Mark was stricken with cancer.

Mark Minotti said he over-came cancer with a macrobi-otic diet and Rainbow Reiki, a form of spiritual healing. He drew on the diet to prepare the menu for the Musical For-est Café, a vegan vegetarian restaurant that operates out of the center and features an organic cuisine with every-thing made from scratch.

The center offers lessons,

sale of musical instruments, rentals and repairs. “If it’s anything musical we can do it,” Mark Minotti said.

Over 200 students from North Haven and area towns as far as Guilford and Bridge-port take weekly lessons, taught by 13 instructors, all professional musicians, and four vocal instructors.

Musical lessons pay off for students in a variety of ways, according to Mark Minotti. “It could be the difference of going to college with a schol-arship because of their mu-sical ability,” he said. And musicians often go on to ca-reers in medicine because they possess the motor skills from playing an instrument that are valued in the medi-cal field, he noted.

The center also provides lessons to special needs stu-dents with autism and other

disabilities. Hunter Pageau, a local 9-year-old who suf-fers from SMARD (spinal muscular atrophy with re-spiratory distress), and who flipped the switch to light the town Christmas tree this year, plans on taking vocal lessons, Mark Minotti said.

The holiday concert was just one event the center takes part in. In January, a team of center musicians will com-pete in the Access Broadway performance workshops in Mystic, vying for the chance to win a trip to Florida. The center also holds music festi-vals in June.

The center has won The Citizen’s best music store award three years in a row.

“Our students don’t just take lessons, they become musicians and share it with the town,” Mark Minotti said.

Thinking about retiring early? Answer these questions firstWhile many retirees have to stop

working earlier than they’d planned due to health or employer issues, an early retirement continues to be a longstanding dream for many people. The upside of early retirement is easy to understand – more time to pursue

your interests, and to do so while you are still in good health. The downside risk centers on whether it will create a financial strain over time and the emotional impact of changing your rou-tine. Keep in mind that given today’s life

expectancies, anybody who retires prior to age 65 or 66 could easily spend two-to-three decades or more in retirement. Given this reality, here are five key questions you should an-swer before you decide to retire early:

No. 1 – Do you have a realis-tic plan to generate income for decades?

Accounting for all potential sources of revenue and making realistic pro-

jections about how much income you can draw from it over a lifetime re-ally matters. Keep in mind that living costs will likely increase over time, requiring you to withdraw more from your nest egg in the future. To meet this financial challenge, you need to have saved diligently for years and invested wisely. You also should ac-count for other sources of retirement income – Social Security, access to a pension from your workplace and inheritance you have received or can count on receiving.

No. 2 – Do you have outstanding debts to pay?

If you continue to carry a home mortgage, automobile loan, credit card debt or home equity loan into retirement, ongoing payments need to be accounted for in your monthly budget. The ideal situation is to have little or no debt when you head into retirement so you can be more effi-cient in the use of your available fi-nancial resources.

No. 3 – Are you going to claim Social Security benefits early?

Most people are first eligible to

claim Social Security benefits when they reach age 62. However, the monthly benefit is reduced if you be-gin collecting Social Security before your full retirement age (which var-ies between 65 and 67, depending on your year of birth). As you develop your income strategy for early re-tirement, you either need to substi-tute for Social Security benefits in earlier years or be prepared to accept smaller Social Security payments throughout your life.

No. 4 – What is your plan for health care?

One of the costliest aspects of early retirement is paying for health insur-ance and related expenses. You aren’t eligible to enroll in Medicare until age 65 so you’ll need to find another form of insurance coverage in the meantime. Explore your options on health care exchanges and through private insurers. You may be fortu-nate enough to be covered under a former employer’s plan for retirees. Keep in mind that those in their 50s and 60s may be paying the highest premiums for health insurance, so

it will likely represent a significant expense.

No. 5 – Are you emotionally prepared for a dramatic change in your life?

Leaving the workforce and the day-to-day routine you’ve been living for decades can require a significant adjustment in your mindset. Before you retire, try to envision what you want your life to be like after leav-ing the workforce. Have a plan to stay active and connected to people. Make sure you have outlets available that will provide the kind of stimula-tion you became accustomed to while you worked. But be sure to put some thought into this in advance.

Early retirement is likely to work out best for those who plan ahead. Answering these five questions in an honest and comprehensive way is a good starting point.

Letters to the Editor

Hypocritical editorialTo the editor:Your editorial regarding

CVS banning smoke products needs a reality check.

First off, I am not a smoker, so do not assume this is just about smoking. CVS and your editorial reflects the current Nanny State mindset overtak-ing our society. The Health Gestapo has decided that if Americans will not follow your advice then it is your obligation to take away whatever you de-cided is bad for us. Interesting, because I feel secure in say-ing that the corporate heads of CVS and The Citizen are likely consumers of candy, eggs, salt, alcohol and sugar, all of which are “bad” for us, and yet you make no outcry for banning them.

CVS is a major purveyor of sugar based drinks and sweets ... so much for the hypocriti-cal claim they are a “health” organizations while they are dramatically contributing to cases of diabetes. And as far as newspaper people, you do have quite a reputation as huge con-sumers of liquor, so cast some more stones, you hypocrites.

We tried Prohibition and it did not work. Any forced

limitation of our freedom to choose our own lifestyle, whether by regulation, lim-itation of supply or press rab-ble-rousing is your attempt to force your personal ethos on the rest of us.

Keep your hands off our bodies, out of our stomachs, lungs and mouths, and keep your noses out of our lives!

Gerald L. JonesNorth Haven

Heartfelt thanksTo the editor:It is with sincere, heartfelt

thanks and gratitude to the many individuals and busi-nesses who helped make the second “John Liquori Memorial Foundation” ziti dinner fund-raiser a huge success. We can’t begin to express our apprecia-tion to the many who helped make this possible. Words can’t express how thankful we are by the graciousness of every-one who supported this event in one way or another. We are truly grateful for the support our community has shown us during and after the most diffi-cult time of our lives.

Wishing you all a happy hol-iday season.

During the holiday sea-son, it seems that all we do is shop, shop, shop. While not paying attention when you purchase holiday gifts places your wallet at risk, not paying attention when you purchase groceries can place your health at risk.

If you don’t take certain safety steps while grocery shopping, you can risk food poisoning. Grocery shopping is where safe food handling should start, by following these recommendations you can make sure the food you bring home is safe.

1. Keep raw meat, poultry, and seafood separate from other foods in your grocery cart. This will keep the meat juices that may contain bacte-ria away from other items in your shopping cart. By wrap-ping these raw items in an ad-ditional plastic bag, usually provided near where meat is displayed, you can further prevent drippings from con-taminating other items.

2. Buy cold foods last. If cold grocery items are al-lowed to stay at room tem-perature for longer than two hours, they can start growing bacteria that cause food poi-soning. Often when we’re hol-iday grocery shopping we’re purchasing unusual foods or items in bulk. The extra time it takes to find these items means we move through the store slower. More people in the store shopping also means checkout may take longer than usual.

These delays can quickly add up and your perishable items may be out of refriger-

ation too long. By purchas-ing your cold food items last, you don’t have to worry about the time it took you to track down the nutmeg.

3. Ask the cashier to place your raw meat, poultry and seafood items in a separate bag. This way you won’t have to worry about raw meat juices leaking on ready-to-eat items, like bread or pies.

4. Purchase a meat ther-mometer. If you do not already own a meat thermom-eter, make sure to pick up this cooking essential during next trip to the grocery store. A thermometer will help you ensure all your holiday dishes are fully cooked. The color or texture of food does not accu-rately indicate that it reached a high enough temperature to incapacitate bacteria.

Just as you have a proce-dure for storing your holiday gifts when you get home, you should have a system for stor-ing your food. It is important to immediately place your cold items in the refrigerator or freezer to avoid them get-ting warm enough for bacte-ria to grow.

When you place items in the fridge, you should be able to place your raw meat, poultry and seafood on the bottom shelf of the refriger-ator where it will not drip on ready-to-eat items. To further avoid cross-contamination from raw juices, place your raw meat on a plate or simi-lar container that will prevent dripping.

Obituaries

The cold temperatures Sat-urday evening didn’t prevent the Pond Hill Baptist Church from celebrating the nativity where parishioners gathered to watch a brief presenta-

tion of the nativity that was followed by group singing of holiday carols.

The event took place out-side the church on Dec. 20 where a shepherd walked down to a manger where Mary, the mother of Jesus, held her baby.

Inside the church, parishio-ners and guests enjoyed hot drinks and pastries.

Michael Carbaugh, pastor of the church, said the event allowed observers “to step back in time to what it might be like if we were living in nativity.”

CAROL KING PLATT’S FLORAL DESIGNS

North Haven Garden Club met last month with Carol King Platt doing a floral decoration program: “Holiday Decorations from Nature’s Bounty.” She used a variety of containers, greens, flowers and plant material from her yard and nature. King Platt showed how to use a circular container, divide in quadrants and added different greens and herbs in each quadrant before adding flowers. She made a dried hydrangea decoration in an oblong container and used a wooden duck decoy

container with special flowers then used an ordinary clay pot to decorate with roses. There were many arrangements which were acquired by audience participants in a raffle. Holiday style refreshments were served made by Lee Fermo and Mary Ann Angelopoulos. The table arrangement was by Cindy Golia.

StateReport: Employers adding more jobs

WETHERSFIELD (AP) — A new state Department of Labor report shows Con-necticut employers added 4,600 jobs last month, marking a new employment recov-ery high-point.

The state’s unemployment rate, however, increased by one-tenth of a percentage point in November to 6.5 percent. That’s still a full percentage point lower than the November 2013 unemployment rate of 7.5 percent.

The number of non-farm jobs increased by 25,700 positions since November 2013, to nearly 1.7 million jobs.

The Connecticut Department of Labor released its monthly labor situation report Dec. 18.

Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy called the report another positive sign that the state is making progress in creat-ing good-paying jobs with good benefits for residents.

Len Fasano, the incoming Senate Repub-lican leader, said Connecticut “continues to seriously lag behind the rest of the nation.”

DMV won’t allow three-wheeled vehicle

HARTFORD (AP) — The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles has rejected an attempt to vehicle maker Polaris to have its three-wheeled Slingshot classified as a motorcycle.

Polaris was seeking the designation to al-low owners to register the vehicles and use them on Connecticut roads.

The Waterbury Republican-American reports the DMV sent a letter to Polaris this month saying the Slingshot more closely resembles an automobile, a desig-nation that would require it to meet more stringent safety standards.

The DMV has suggested Polaris go to the state Legislature to create a new classifica-tion for the vehicle.

The state definition of a motorcycle ex-cludes vehicles that have an enclosed driv-er’s seat and an enclosed motor, and the Slingshot has both.

Inauguration to be open to public

HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut res-idents are being welcomed to attend Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s second inaugural cer-emonies, including a planned parade in downtown Hartford.

The Democrat and his running mate, Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, are scheduled to be sworn into office on Wednesday, Jan. 7, at the William A. O’Neill State Armory. The 1:30 p.m. event is free and open to the pub-

lic. Seats will be first come, first served. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m.

Also at 11:30 a.m., the traditional inaugu-ral parade will step off near the intersec-tion of Jewell Street and Trinity Street. It will proceed under the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch, turning right onto Capitol Avenue and past the State Capitol.

Following the ceremonies, Malloy will deliver his State of the State address to the full General Assembly.

Insurance exchange hopes to exceed sign-up goal

HARTFORD (AP) — Officials from Connecticut’s health insurance exchange say roughly 20,000 individuals have signed up for private health insurance over the past month.

Meanwhile, more than 46,000 have en-rolled in government-funded Medicaid through Access Health CT, during the sec-ond, annual open enrollment period un-der the Affordable Care Act. The figures, which account for enrollments at the close of business Dec. 15, were released Dec. 17.

Those who signed up by Dec. 15 will be insured as of Jan. 1.

Jim Wadleigh, the exchange’s acting chief executive officer, said it appears Access Health CT will exceed its goal of signing up 72,000 during this latest open enrollment, which runs through Feb. 15. The health insurance exchange signed up more than 280,000 residents for private in-surance or Medicaid during the first open enrollment.

Senators tout defense spending in Connecticut

EAST HARTFORD (AP) — Connecti-cut’s two U.S. senators say investments in-cluded in a congressional defense spending will boost the state’s military contractors.

U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy touted the commitments to local companies in a visit Dec. 18 to Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford.

The Connecticut companies benefitting from the National Defense Authorization Act include Groton’s Electric Boat, which is building attack submarines and develop-ing plans for a new class of ballistic-missile submarines.

Others include Pratt & Whitney, which makes engines for military aircraft, and he-licopter maker Sikorsky.

In addition to the billions of dollars al-located for those major programs, the bill calls for $16.3 million for a fuel and corro-sion center at Bradley Air National Guard Base in Connecticut.

In September, a Middle-town resident became victim to a Craigslist scam. A post on the website advertised au-tomotive bodywork services for cash. The victim called the advertised phone number and was instructed to meet in a commercial parking lot in North Haven. Once there, the victim gave 28-year-old Anthony Dagostino, who re-sides in East Haven, the keys to his vehicle. They agreed Dagostino would fix the ve-hicle for $100 and return it the following day. The vic-

tim was told by Dagostino to return to the same park-ing lot and the vehicle would be there with the bodywork complete.

The following day the vic-tim found the vehicle was gone and Dagostino was not returning his phone calls.

North Haven police Lt. Kevin Glenn reported that Dagostino was arrested by warrant Dec. 22. He was charged with larceny fourth degree and using a motor ve-hicle without permission.

Dagostino was held on a court-set $500 bond and ar-raigned in Meriden Superior Court.

I hope Santa is good to you this holiday, but I guess the old elf isn’t in charge of New England weather.

While we received rain this past weekend, Minne-sota picked up two feet of new powder.

So far this season Odin does not favor the east.

I was in Vermont last week to spend some time with the UConn ski team at Okemo Mountain.

The racers were training hard and getting in a lot of gates on good firm snow un-der a gray sky.

While the snow hasn’t fallen hard here in Connecti-cut, there is good, deep, ma-

chine-made cover on Eastern ski mountains.

“We have a very talented group of freshmen joining last season’s very successful team and are looking forward to another championship run,” UConn coach Larry Gi-anatti said.

Joining Cheshire’s Kelsie Carlette, now in her second season at UConn, and co-cap-tain Macenzie Ingenito, a se-nior, are freshmen Samantha Feinberg from Greenwich, Rachael Lafebvre (Gunstock, New Hampshire), Danielle Sinkowicz, who was on the New Jersey State Ski Team, and Sabina Spofford (West-borough, Mass.)

The UConn men’s team has two newcomers joining the group. Luke Gatti and

Roger Hueglin, from Wil-ton, are joining last season’s fourth place finishers in the National Championships.

“Both the men’s and wom-en’s teams are young, but ex-perienced racers,” Gianatti said. “The new athletes have all been racing for several seasons, and were members of their high school ski teams last season. They are train-ing well and are encouraging each other to go faster.”

“We’ll be training at Okemo until we go home for the holidays,” said Gianatti. “Then we’ll be back here for the opening race on Jan. 8.”

“Our goal for the season is to qualify for the Nationals,” said Carlette, speaking on behalf of the women’s team. “We missed making the cut

by less than one second last season, and we won’t let that happen again.”

Carlette was injured in the last race of the regular season in 2014, and has spent the en-tire off-season rehabbing and trying to get stronger before the snow falls. “I’m ready to go,” she said, “and I want to win the opening slalom to show the other teams we are stronger than last year.”

Gianatti expects good things from his racers in 2015, but we’ll have to wait until the end of February to see if the UConn ski team will end the season as the big dogs on the mountain.

Enjoy the rest of the holi-day season, get in some good runs, be careful, safe and happy.

The calm before the collegiate stormBy Dave MongilloSpecial to The Citizen

StateLawmakers voice support to cap electric bill fee

HARTFORD (AP) — A group of Connecticut lawmak-ers say they support a proposal that would cap fixed residential charges imposed by the state’s largest electric utilities.

Monday’s announcement comes after state regula-tors said Connecticut Light & Power could increase the current $16 a month charge to $19.25. The company originally sought a $25.50 charge, saying the money was needed to cover significant expenses.

The bill under consideration would cap future fees at $10. Proponents contend higher fixed costs discourage alterna-tive energy usage.

Rep. Lonnie Reed, co-chair-man of the legislature’s energy committee, said she hopes the bill encourages CL&P and United Illuminating to work with lawmakers on a compromise.

CL&P spokesman Mitch Gross said capping the fixed rate would negatively affect the utility’s ability to perform upgrades and would ultimately increase variable rates.

Irate customers confront Frontier over service

NEW BRITAIN (AP) — Frontier Communications officials have told utility regu-lators in Connecticut that they underestimated the need for more trained customer service employees after they took over AT&T’s phone, Internet and UVerse networks in October.

Kathleen Abernathy, execu-tive vice president of regula-tory and government affairs for the Stamford-based company, told the Public Utilities Regula-tory Authority on Monday that lessons have been learned and Frontier still has work to do.

Customers unhappy with poor service addressed their complaints to Frontier repre-sentatives. Some complained about outages, lengthy wait times to contact customer ser-

Connecticut offers $50,000 reward in 2009 homicide

HARTFORD (AP) — The state of Connecticut is offer-ing a $50,000 reward for help with the investigation of a 2009 shooting that left a man dead in Hartford.

Thirty-eight-year-old Timo-thy Coleman was shot multiple times on Sept. 2, 2009.

On Tuesday, the state an-nounced the reward for infor-mation leading to an arrest and conviction in the homicide. It was authorized by Gov. Dan-nel P. Malloy at the request of State’s Attorney Gail Hardy.

Hartford police have not de-veloped enough information to make an arrest, and investiga-tors believe the reward could help resolve the case.
