Woman accused of check forgeryBy Richie Rathsack
Special to The Citizen
A North Haven womanhas been accused of alteringand cashing a check fromHunter’s Ambulance ofMeriden in August.
Alyssa Brenner, 27, of 61Lancelot Drive, turned her-self in to Meriden policeTuesday and was chargedwith third-degree larcenyand third-degree forgery.
The police spokesman, De-tective Lt. Mark Walerysiak,said police were called byHunter’s after an employeenoticed a bookkeeping dis-
crepancy. The company hadissued a check for $670 to paya bill, but the check had beencashed for $3,378, Walerysiaksaid.
When the ambulance com-pany contacted the bank, anofficial there said the cashedcheck was made out to Bren-ner; the check had been sentout by Hunter’s payable to abusiness, Walerysiak said.
The bank told police aboutrecent increases in wash-and-alter scams, in whichpeople steal checks from themail and change the payeeinformation and amount,Walerysiak said.
The check had been al-tered, but still looked enoughlike a legitimate check thatthe bank did not find it suspi-cious, Walerysiak said.
Detectives got a photo-graph of Brenner and com-pared it to the video footageof the check being cashed,Walersiak said.
Brenner was released on$2,500 bond and is scheduledto appear in Meriden Superi-or Court Nov. 6.

We all need heroes in our livesCommentary
By Paul ColellaSpecial to The Citizen
When I was a boy, adults Iknew went tothe troubleof helpingme find a fewheroes. Atfirst, theones I ad-mired mostwere not peo-ple I knewpersonally,but public figures who pos-sessed qualities of humanexcellence worth strivingfor: baseball and footballplayers who persevered onand off the field, famous ex-plorers and pioneers fromthe pages of history who
dared to face the unknown,cowboys from HollywoodWesterns who rode hard andstood up for what deserved tobe loved and protected.
As I grew older, I learnedthat heroes and heroinescould be found closer tohome, too —neighbors,friends, and members of myown family. In all of them,there was certain nobility, alargeness of soul, a hitchingup of one’s own purposes tohigher purposes — to some-thing that demanded en-durance or sacrifice orcourage or compassion.
Looking back, I see howlucky I was that so many of
my teachers thought it wasworth their time to help mepick the right kind of he-roes. As every parent andgrandparent knows, chil-dren imitate what they see
and hear. They naturallylook for examples to follow.
Today’s popular cultureoffers plenty. Countless“stars” and “superstars” areput on pedestals for children
to idolize and mimic. Theproblem is that most arecelebrities, not heroes (ithas been said that the differ-

I’ve gone door-to-door, manypeople have told me that theythink it’s already gone, thatit’s a few rich people and therest of us. I reject that notion,but I do believe that this elec-tion is about rebuilding themiddleclass.”
“We have a choice,”Fontana continued. “My op-ponent . . . has bought into afailed ideological philosophy:that trickle-down economicsis how we get out of this re-cession. The fact is is that ithasn’t worked, it won’t work
and it’s never worked. Whatwe need to do is to invest inpeople and in businesses andget them the opportunities tosucceed.”
“With interest rates at his-toric lows, we need to be in-vesting in infrastructureprojects, like rebuildingNorth Haven middle schoolor Spring Road Bridge,”Fontana added. “During mytime as a state representa-tive, I was the chair of twocommittees and got dozensof bills passed, most of themunanimously. I was proud ofthat, as well as the number ofstate dollars I was able tobring back to town for im-portant projects.”
Fasano, who’s also alawyer and small-businessowner, agreed about the im-portance of the 2012 election.
“Connecticut is in a cri-sis,” Fasano said. “We havethe highest taxes of a state inthe nation. We just got offthe largest tax increase in
Connecticut’s history. Weraised the sales tax from 6 to6.35 percent. We tax non-pre-scription drugs for the firsttime in state history. We’renow taxing clothing under 50dollars. And with all that, wehad a $200 million dollardeficit last year. For this yearwe’re looking at a $60 milliondollar deficit already, plusthere is a $100 million dollarsin Medicaid in Connecticutthat’s unfunded.”
“This is not the rightpath,” he continued. “Wespend too much money. Myopponent has indicated thatmy ideas don’t work. My ideawas not to create all thesetaxes on the working family.We have siphoned the moneyout of the economy.”
“As a small-business man,I understand how impossibleConnecticut makes it to runa small business,” Fasanoadded. “The vision that myopponent has bought into israising taxes and spending
money. That has caused usnine-percent unemploy-ment. We’ve got to reducetaxes and open up the jobmarket by making it easierfor businesses to thrive inthis state and change the di-rection that we’re going.”
Moderator and longtimebroadcaster Kenn Venitasked how the candidateswould help decrease Con-necticut’s unemploymentrate.
“I agree that we need to re-build the middleclass, but Ihave a different vision,”Fasano said. “The first thingwe need to do is roll backthose tax increases that weput into effect. We raised thesales tax from 6 to 6.35 – thathurts the senior citizens andworking families. Our salesreceipts in this state aredropping, and they’re drop-ping because people don’thave money. Rolling backtaxes would put money backinto the middleclass families
and seniors who are out ofmoney right now.”
Fasano backed invest-ment in education, and pro-business legislation. “Weneed to make Connecticutmore business-friendly,” hesaid. “We’re within the topfive most indebted states inthe nation. Our bond ratinghas dropped, so borrowingmoney costs more. We haveto make our state a more eco-nomical solvent machine.It’s not a coincidence that,after the largest tax increasein state history, our unem-ployment has been skyrock-eting.”
Fontana reiterated that itwas essential to “rebuild theheart of middleclass.”
“We need to be gettingcapital to entrepreneurs,small businesses and thosecompanies in emerging mar-kets that can create good-paying jobs here in Con-

veteran, who served his coun-try on active duty for 22 years,including deployment duringWorld War II, Korea, and Viet-nam, expressed his apprecia-tion recently for free admis-sion to the upcoming pancakebreakfast sponsored by theNorth Haven Rotary Club.Dan Gertsch, a regular pa-tron at Annie’s KitchenRestaurant in the Montowesesection of North Haven, re-ceived five free “veterans’tickets” for the event from theclub’s public relations chair.The restaurant’s owner,Cindy Vanacore, describedthe pleasant octogenarian as“such a wonderful man.”
In addition to his son, thecareer veteran will join threefriends who were formerPOW’s, gathering at theNorth Haven Middle School on Veterans Day, Nov. 11 for the fourth annual all-you-can-eatbreakfast staffed by the local service club from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The affable senior, whose note-worthy patriotic service began as a young teenager with a one year stint as a Merchant Ma-rine, served during the war in the U.S. Navy on a destroyer until 1949. The man known to hisfriends as “Sarge” said that soon after that he “tried to re-enlist in the Navy in 1950 becausewar broke out in Korea,” but quickly added, “Because their quota was filled, I joined theArmy, served in Korea, and stayed through Vietnam.” The retired sergeant (E-7) ended hisbrief comments before returning to his coffee by proudly noting that he was even “on call”during the Persian Gulf.

necticut, like renewable ener-gies,” Fontana said. “Secondthing is that we need to makesure that higher education ismore affordable so that peo-ple can get into the jobs thatwe have. And that’s why I’vetalked about promoting coop-erative programs, so that peo-ple can do work study togeth-er in a comprehensive way,like Northeastern Universitydoes, and, along with that,promoting college-businesspartnerships.
“Finally, we can get discre-tionary income back intomiddleclass people’s handsso we can stimulate de-mand,” Fontana added. “Re-ducing healthcare costs andenergy costs will help reducethe burden on middleclassfamilies and seniors, andhelp them stimulate the econ-omy.”
Among several questionsposed to both candidates,Venit asked whether theywould support greater trans-parency in funding of politi-cal advertisements.
“We tried to pass a law lastyear about disclosure lawsbut it went too far,” Fasanosaid. “Governor Malloy ve-toed the bill for good reason.But I think that we should re-visit disclosure laws thatdon’t go too far, revisit waysto know who’s funding what,who are the people behindthe mirrors. You should beable to know who’s sayingwhat, so people can judgewhat’s being said based uponwho’s saying it.”
In response, Fontana said,“The bottom line is that dis-closure is good but it’s notsufficient. It’s helpful to havedisclosure, but people put toomuch stock into it. Disclo-sure can be inaccurate, in-complete and late. The prob-lem is that people who talk
about how they love disclo-sure don’t want to talk abouthow they then try to evade itonce it’s in place.”
In closing, Fontana said, “Ihave a specific plan, whichyou can see at my website,SteveFontana.com, whichstates what we can do to startrebuilding the middleclassand what I will work on atthe Capitol as your state sen-ator. Here in Connecticut, wework together, Democratsand Republicans, and it’sabout who can get workdone. Over the course of mytime as a state representa-tive, I got a lot accomplished,in terms of bills I got passedto fight for the middleclassand seniors, to promote eco-nomic security, and a lot in
terms of what I brought backto North Haven. And I thinkthat’s what the people want:someone who can work withboth sides of the aisle to getthings done.”
“I think my opponent, ifyou gave him some truthserum, would probably agreethat when I was chairingcommittees I did things theright way,” Fontana contin-ued. “When it came to ener-gy costs and prices, I cameup with a plan to bring costsdown, and my opponent vot-ed with me. The problem is,we haven’t moved that for-ward, we haven’t challengedthe status quo when it comesto the energy corporations,the insurance corporations.There’s too much power in
their hands and too little inours and as a result we endup spending too much.”
In closing, Fasano said,“My opponent doesn’t be-lieve that we’re taxing toomuch in Connecticut. I do.We have taxed our way into ahuge problem and nine-per-cent unemployment. And Idon’t need truth serum to tellthe truth. I tell the truth. Inthe four years my opponentchaired the energy commit-tee, only two bills came out.”
A longtime Democrat ma-jority in the state’s legisla-tive General Assembly has-n’t been bipartisan enough,Fasano suggested. “I believeConnecticut needs a better

On Tuesday, facing a longcleanup schedule, Fredareached the conclusion topostpone trick-or-treating intown until Nov. 7. “That deci-sion was based on the factthat we still have a number oftrees down, and wires down,and that 30 percent of thetown was still without pow-er,” the first selectman said.“I just thought that for thesafety of the children, we hadto postpone Halloween.”
“Pushing trick-or-treatingback one week later gave mea more comfortable cushion,knowing that cleanup proba-bly would be completed bythen,” Freda added. “I wasnot comfortable reschedulingfor this weekend because ofthe uncertainty of the powerbeing back on, plus all the de-bris still out there.”
For residents still withoutpower, hot showers are avail-able today at the recreationcenter pool at 5 Linsley St,from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. More-
over, through Saturday atnoon, the transfer station onSackett Point Road will beavailable for residents for de-bris drop-off, free of chargeand requiring no usage ofpasses.
The North Haven Library,17 Elm Street, is open for res-idents who need Internet ac-cess or to recharge portabledevices.
As Sandy approachedlandfall late last week, PublicWorks Director Lynn Sa-dosky and her departmenttook numerous steps to getahead of the imminent Hur-ricane.
“We had 20 staff membersgoing around, clearing catchbasins and taking any debriswith them,” she said Oct. 29.“We tested all of the genera-tors we have at town build-ings. We topped of the dieselfuel at all of those genera-tors. We topped off the regu-lar fuel at our public worksgarage. We were doing a lotof proactive things.”
Disseminating appropri-ate information before, andas, Hurricane winds swept
through North Haven wasimportant to Sadosky.
“We helped update thetown’s website and Facebookpage. We were also trying tospread the message to resi-dents about the importanceto clear catch basins to helpprevent flooding,” she added.“I think we were able to dothat without sounding likealarmists.”
With 2011’s TropicalStorm and freak Octoberblizzard, both around thisseason, North Haven — andConnecticut — experiencedthe third destructive stormin just over one year.
“This was strangely famil-iar to last year, with the sameissues from last year, includ-ing the power outages,” Fre-da said. “As far as the dam-age, the odd thing is that it’sabout the same, only thoseparts of town that didn’t getas affected last year got hithard this year.”
Areas of North Havenwhich Sandy particularlydamaged included HartfordTurnpike, and Davis andRidge roads.

And often, especial-ly in our times, the behaviorsfor which many celebritiesare famous are not worthy ofimitation. But little childrendon’t know that. They can’tforesee that some pedestals,in time, turn out to be shakyand come crashing down. Soit makes a big differencewhether or not adults makeefforts to point out what ac-tions merit honor and whichindividuals deserve to be ad-mired.
The true heroes and hero-ines give young people tar-gets to aim for and examplesto follow. Their tales, stories,and good intentions come tolife in the hearts and imagi-nations of children. Some ofthese heroes and heroines
are doers of ancient, famousdeeds (“mighty men andwomen which were of old,men and women ofrenown,” as the Book ofGenesis has it) — shiningvictors, knights in armor,adventurers on the highseas. Their stories often un-fold in far-off places, dustyplains, stormy seas, darkdungeons, and high castles.Theirs are tales of epic dra-ma, battles against over-whelming odds, daring res-cues, struggles to the death,and triumphs of good overevil.
But in truth, most heroesare not men and women ofgreat renown. They liveclose by and, more oftenthan not, perform deeds no-ticed by only a few. We willfind those kinds of heroeshere, too. They come fromevery walk of life—boys andgirls, mothers and fathers,grandparents, aunts and un-cles, cousins, siblings, men
and women of God, teach-ers, a neighbor lending ahelping hand, the policemanor fireman around the cor-ner, the doctor or nursedown the street, a veterannext door, a senior citizensitting in the park, or thecoach on the field.
These individuals andothers win our admirationby committing the sort ofacts every one of us mightbe called upon to perform —by offering some unseen ges-ture of compassion, by tak-ing a quiet stand for what isright, by managing to hangon just one minute longer, byoffering some words of wis-dom from a lifetime of expe-rience, or perhaps by perse-vering through a lifetime ofstruggle and toil.
Some of the heroes andheroines we read about orhear stories about are realpeople. They have lived andbreathed, just as you and I.Some that come to mind are
George Washington, Abra-ham Lincoln, AbigailAdams, Molly Pitcher, HelenKeller, Mother Teresa, Fa-ther Flanagan, MartinLuther King, Jr., John F.Kennedy, Jackie Robinson,Mickey Mantle, Robert E.Lee, Ulysses S. Grant,Thomas Jefferson, JohnAdams, Dolley Madison,Neil Armstrong, and manyothers. Others tread only theworlds of our imaginations.Some include Paul Bunyan,Theseus of Ancient Greece,Cinderella, Snow White, andothers. But factual or fiction-al, they all put a face on andgive a meaning to heroism,and are worth imitating.
It is important to have afew heroes in our lives, be-cause believing in the heroiccan help make each andevery one of us a little bit
better day in and day out. Ifadults and children are toreach for the best, they needto have a picture of the best.Our favorite heroes andheroines live forever in theirstories and in our memories,cheering us forward in ourbrave fights in our dailylives, and presenting splen-did tales of the valor and in-domitable spirit that are alasting testament to ourcherished values.

Questionablechange
To the editor:This is the second time
this year I find myself hav-ing to write a “Letter to theEditor” over my concernsof things happening inNorth Haven. The first wasthe bussing change that waspassed without any publiccomment. The second con-cern is the zoning change to352 State Street. Again,there was no public com-ment about this beforehand— you just read about thechange in zoning after thefact.
The Zoning Dept. ap-proved a change to 352 StateStreet from a vocationalschool to a medical office.Sounds pretty standard.However, the office goinginto this space is the APTFoundation. For those ofyou unfamiliar with APT, itis a clinic which provides
methadone and buprenor-phine outpatient services totheir patients, as part oftheir offering. While I un-derstand there are about 400families in North Haven thatuse their services, I feel thatthis medical office is muchtoo close to Ridge Road Ele-mentary School — it’s prac-tically in its backyard (thereis an entrance to the schoolon Hartford Turnpike). Thatis just too close to our schoolchildren. If West Haven putup a fight, why doesn’tNorth Haven? West Havenresidents opposed a site at855 Boston Post Road be-cause it was too close to aschool.
If you want to learn moreabout this, please come tothe public meeting that thetown has arranged. It will beheld on Monday, Nov. 5 at 6p.m. in the Recreation Cen-ter. We need to hear both proand con opinions on this is-sue. Attending the meeting
will be APT’s CEO, chair-man of the board, and staff.First Selectman MichaelFreda will also be attending.

AchievementsTo the editor:Join me in voting for Sen-
ator Len Fasano and StateRepresentative Dave Yac-carino. Together in Hart-ford, they will continue vot-ing for what’s best for ourchildren, families and sen-ior citizens, including veter-ans. They have been able toincrease state funding forour schools by 98 percent.This impacts our taxes.This is only one of manyachievements obtained byLen and Dave. Both are notafraid to extend their handto the other side of the aisle,and therein lies their suc-cess. Their voting on issuesis done with their con-
stituents in mind and not byparty vote alone.

GenerousTo the editor:There is no more gener-
ous person with his time andmoney than state Sen. LenFasano.
I met him at differentfunctions — he has alwaysbeen interested and genuine-ly caring about seniors’problems. He tries to help inany way possible to solveour problems. Never in ahurry, he listens to our con-cerns and tries to help wher-ever possible. I enjoy watch-ing informative TV pro-grams he does with DaveYaccarino. I can see thatthey help each other getthings done for us. Pleasevote Len Fasano back toHartford. We need himthere to continue his impor-tant work.

Great fitTo the editor:Len Fasano is a great fit
for the 34th District.His accomplishments are
numerous, encompassingmany facets of our life,whether trying to rein inout-of-control spending andtaxes in the state budget, orassisting with the bipartisanjobs bill’s language.
As minority leader of Sen-
ate Republicans, he seeksagreement and compromisewith colleagues across theaisle, while holding them ac-countable for partisan votesand actions that impact usall adversely.
One of his passions to re-duce educational mandates,eliminating the concept of‘teaching for the test’ and in-stead giving our teachers re-sources needed to teach ourchildren well.
James BuckNorth Haven
Set recordstraight
To the editor:I recently read a Letter to
the Editor in which a gentle-man erroneously com-plained that Senator LenFasano never did anythingfor the disabled.
I want to set the recordstraight. It might be of in-terest to the letter-writerthat Fasano, along with Rep-resentative Dave Yaccarino,worked with First SelectmanMike Freda to obtain theADA grant for town hall.
This was the largest ADAgrant in Connecticut. It willgive handicapped access tothe third floor of town hall.This project is currently un-der construction.
I hope this will prove thatSen. Fasano works for all ofthe people.

When I announcedmy candidacy for theU.S. Senate, I said theeconomy is gettingworse and Connecti-cut needs new leader-ship with a real planto create jobs. A yearhas passed, so let’stake inventory. Thenumber of people without work hasrisen to over 170,000; household in-comes continue to fall, dropping na-tionally by nearly $4000 since 2008;gas prices in Connecticut are backover $4, and economic growth hascollapsed to 1.3 percent, placing usin the recession red zone. Mean-while, taxes, spending and debt areshooting up, and career politiciansremain helpless and hopeless.
Our problems are huge and peopleare very concerned, even frightened,about our future. However, as big asthese challenges may be, they arenot as big as the talent and potentialof the American people propelled bysound policies. The key to restoringprosperity must begin with restor-ing confidence within our smallbusinesses, whose industry and in-
genuity built America, and who re-main our most powerful job cre-ators. Today’s small business lead-ers are deeply pessimistic. Theirvoices go unheeded in Washingtonand they struggle under mountingtax and regulatory burdens. This iswhy my jobs plan is vital. It was de-veloped in consultation with Con-necticut’s small business leaders,with the goal of reviving confidenceto expand and create more employ-ment. We offer six, common-sensesolutions.
First, pass a middle class tax cutthat will increase take-home pay byup to $500 a month for families. Myplan lowers the 25 percent tax rate to15 percent. This is an essential first-step as individuals and families seetheir budgets under siege, and faceprice increases on every front.
Second, level the playing field forjob creators by lowering the punitivecorporate tax rate - highest in theworld - from 35 percent to 25 percent.In return, I would do away with cor-porate loopholes. We need a simpler,fairer tax system that strengthensour ability to compete and createand keep more jobs in America.

In Connecticut andacross the country,middle class Ameri-can families want thesame things. Parentswant to buy a homeand send their chil-dren to college, sen-iors want to knowthat their retirementsavings are secure, and young peo-ple want an opportunity to reachtheir goals. For generations, we’vecalled these things the Americandream, and I’m running to be Con-necticut’s next U.S. Senator to fightfor them.
I know the American dream be-cause my family lived it. My mothergrew up in public housing, but sheworked hard, played by the rules,and her community gave her thesupport she needed to succeed. Shedidn’t get handouts; she workedhard to become a teacher and raisea family of her own. As your nextSenator, I will fight for the middleclass, protect our seniors’ benefits,and make the important invest-ments we need to build a strong fu-ture for our children.
In Congress, I’ve made protectingmiddle class jobs my top priority.When budget cuts threatened Con-necticut’s submarine base and com-panies like Electric Boat, I fought toprotect the base and local defensemanufacturers that support thou-sands of families. I also founded the“Buy American” caucus, bringingRepublicans and Democrats togeth-er to ensure that when the govern-ment spends American tax dollars,it’s supporting companies and mid-dle class jobs here at home.
Fighting for the middle class alsorequires that we have a tax systemin place that asks everyone to paytheir fair share. I support cuttingtaxes for the middle class, but as oureconomy continues to grow, it’s notfair to give millionaires and billion-aires multi-million dollar tax cutsyear after year. There is also work tobe done to simplify our tax code, be-cause a maze of confusing deduc-tions and loopholes puts familiesand businesses who can’t affordhigh-priced accountants at a disad-vantage.

Not a tea pot, but a‘neti’ pot
By V. Deborah Culligan,RN, MPH
People with allergies andchronic sinus trouble sufferwith stuffed nasal passages,especially at times whenpollen counts are high.Some try over-the-counterpills and nasal sprays. Oth-ers use prescription sprays.Over the last few years, therise of the “neti” pot has be-come a popular non-drugintervention for helpingthose clogged sinuses fromallergies, colds and the flu.
The neti pot uses asaline-based (salt) solutionto bath the nasal passages.This soothes as well as un-clogs the nose. Bathing thenasal passages with a saline
solution would seem like asafe enough action to take.Yet there have been somedeaths associated with thispractice. Careful use of theneti pot can bring safe, ef-fective relief.

about neti pot use.Read what they have to say
about safe practices for allnasal rinsing products, in-cluding neti pots, bulb sy-ringes, squeeze bottles andbattery-operated pulsed waterdevices:
— These devices are gener-ally safe and useful products.But they must be used andcleaned properly.
— Most important is thesource of the water that isused with nasal rinsing de-vices.
— Tap water that is not fil-tered, treated or processed inspecific ways is not safe foruse as a nasal rinse. Some tapwater contains low levels oforganisms, such as bacteria,protozoa and amoebas, whichmay be safe to swallow be-cause stomach acid killsthem. But these “bugs” canstay alive in nasal passagesand cause potentially seriousinfections, according to theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention (CDC.)
— Misleading/Missing In-formation: Information in-cluded with the device mightgive specific instructionsabout its use and care. Howev-er, FDA staff has found thatsome manufacturers’ instruc-tions provide misleading orcontradictory information orlack any guidelines. Customproducts designed by an artistmay also lack instruction.
The article also addressessome common questions:
What types of water aresafe to use in nasal rinsing de-vices?
— Distilled or sterile water(not plain old bottled water.)
— Boiled and cooled tap wa-ter (boiled for three-to-fiveminutes) then cooled until itis lukewarm. Boiled watercan be stored in a clean,closed container for use with-in 24 hours.
— Water passed through afilter with an absolute poresize of one micron or smaller.Some hardware and discountstores may carry these filtersor you can purchase on line
Are nasal rinsing devicessafe for children?
Some children are diag-nosed with nasal allergies asearly as age two and could usenasal rinsing devices if a pe-diatrician recommends it.However, very young childrenmight not tolerate the proce-dure as well as older childrenor adults.
What are some negative ef-fects to watch out for when us-ing nasal rinsing devices?Talk to your healthcareprovider to determine if nasalrinsing will be safe or effec-tive for your condition.
If symptoms are not re-lieved or worsen after nasalrinsing, then return to yourhealthcare provider, especial-ly if you have had any symp-toms while using the nasalrinse, such as fever, nose-bleeds or headaches.
Report all complaints aboutnasal rinsing devices to theFDA MedWatch Safety Infor-mation and Adverse Event Re-porting program.
The phone number is 1-800-332-1088; fax number is 1-800-332-0178 or report on line.For general questions about aparticular medical product,you can call the FDA Con-sumer hotline, 1-888-463-6332.

Long debated, long ar-gued, the CIAC’s 50-pointrule has been part of Con-necticut’s football fabricsince 2006. As it comes backthrough the spin cycle herein 2012, a reminder is servedthat as unfashionable as itmay be it’s not likely to bemothballed any time soon.
Last Saturday, NorwichFree Academy beat Stamford51-0. On Monday, NFA an-nounced head coach JemalDavis would serve a self-im-posed one-game suspensionfor this week’s game againstBacon Academy.
That’s the simple letter ofthe rule. Win by more than50 and the head coach sits thenext game.
But the letter of the rulealso allows for appeal, andthe spirit of the rule opens
the door of subjectivity evenwider: Did the coach do all hecould to manage the score?What’s the opinion of the los-ing coach?
Consider that just oneweek before NFA-Stamford,Barlow-Redding beat Immac-ulate-Danbury 56-0. TheCIAC didn’t suspend Barlowcoach Rob Tynan nor was itexpected to after Immaculatecoach Tom Taylor made itclear he believed Tynan han-dled the situation responsi-bly.
In stark contrast, Stam-ford coach Bryan Hocter,who had declined an offer toput the game on runningtime earlier in the fourthquarter, made his displeas-ure clear.
“I thought it was a littleclassless on his part to dothat,” Hocter told the NewLondon Day after an earlyfourth-quarter TD scored by
NFA’s starting running backand then a blocked punt with3:25 to go turned a 42-0 NFAromp into the 51-0 rule-breaker. “You can’t embar-rass a team. I thought (Davis)was trying to embarrass us.”Much is in the eye of the be-holder on the other sideline.
And what of the CIAC? It’snot clear if Davis would havebeen suspended by thestate’s governing body ofhigh school sports. NFAmade a pre-emptive moveand the CIAC merely issueda terse statement saying itaccepted the decision and noother action would be taken.
The only other coach tonet a 50-point suspension,East Hartford’s DanLawrence in 2006, got rungup largely because hisschool didn’t appeal.
In all, eight teams havebeaten an opponent by morethan 50 points since the rule
was adopted. About 700 highschool football games areplayed in Connecticut dur-ing a typical 10-game regularseason, so the 50-point era isnearly at the 5,000-gamemark.
That’s a pretty good rate ofnon-return, as it were, whichis exactly why the CIACFootball Committee hasstuck with the rule. It appar-ently is working.
“We discuss it literallyevery time we meet and thegeneral consensus has been,if you look at the numbers, ifyou compare the number ofgames that were decided byextremely lopsided scoresprior to the conception ofthe rule and since, it’s downa very large amount,” saidHand-Madison coach SteveFilippone, who sits on theboard. “It’s significant, and Ithink what it did was remindcoaches about what proper
etiquette, so to speak, is to-ward an opponent.”
Filippone added: “Ascoaches, our feeling hasbeen, ‘OK, we’ve kind oflearned our lessons; weneeded it, we had a coupleguys who were causing prob-lems with lopsided scores,now we’re in a positionwhere we don’t personallyneed it.’ But for the adminis-trators and some of the oth-er guys who are on the com-mittee, they’re saying, ‘Waita minute, this isn’t a failedexperiment; this has gottenpeople to do the rightthing.’”
By and large, that’s true.Games have gone on run-ning time. Winning coacheshave pulled starters beforethe fourth quarter, or at leastpulled skill players, leavingfirst-string linemen in to

protect the younger guys.At Meriden’s Platt High
School, with strugglingRockville and Weaver on theschedule, head coach JasonBruenn has been acutelyaware of the 50-point ceiling.Up 48-0 at half last year onRockville, Bruenn pulled hisstarters at halftime. (Theywon 48-8.) He did the samethis year against Weaverwhen Justin Potts returnedthe opening kickoff of thesecond half to put the Pan-thers up 47-0. (They won 47-6.)Late in that Weaver game, bythe way, backup runningback Tyzhan Leatherwooddeliberately went out ofbounds on a long run.Leatherwood had learned his50-point lesson. Two weeksearlier, in Rockville, he re-turned a fumble 99 yards astime expired and as hiscoaches shouted for him tofall down. The touchdownmade the final score Platt 50-0, one point shy of a viola-tion.
That quirk aside, Bruennhas successfully managedscores against overmatchedopponents. Would he havedone the same if a rule was-n’t hanging over his head?
“I believe I would havedone the same thing. I believeI’m an ethical coach,” hesaid. “Here’s what the 50-point rule does: It tells youwhen to pull back. You beatsomeone by 50 or 60, does itreally make a difference? Youshould have respect for thecoaches you’re playingagainst.”
But what do you do whenthe opposing coach doesn’treciprocate? One knock ofthe 50-point rule is the win-ning coach often faces aCatch-22. He’s up big, pullshis starters, perhaps even

tells his reserves not to score,but the losing coach keeps hisfirst-stringers in and keepsgoing full-throttle.
Sure, you could argue thatthe losing starters, if losingthat badly, probably can’tcompete with the winningteam’s JV. But you could alsoargue that the first-stringerprobably is upper-class andthe reserve under-class, andthat the difference in age andsize can be a recipe for injury.
And what do you do when alosing coach declines run-ning time, as Hocter did?Wouldn’t that undermine allgrounds of complaint?
These issues have been de-bated since the rule wasadopted. Here’s a new wrin-kle to add to the 50-point fire:Back in Week 4, Meriden’sMaloney High School beatBulkeley 50-14. Bulkeleyscored the game’s last TDwith 3:10 to go. On the ensu-ing kickoff, Maloney coachBob Zito sent out his regularreturn team by and large be-cause it’s the only one he has.Moreover, he told his playersto simply fall on the ball.
On the other sideline, first-year Bulkeley coach PabloOrtiz saw it as Zito keeping inhis starters. Irate, he kickedoff, then had his defense takea knee 15 yards off the line ofscrimmage.
It got weirder. Maloney,looking to run out the clock,took a knee. The play andclock were blown dead. SoZito told his quarterback tomerely stand still on the nextsnap - a sort of four-cornersbasketball approach. Thatplay, too, was blown dead andthe clock stopped.
Asking the referee for anexplanation, Zito was told,“You’re not going to make amockery out of this game.”
The Bulkeley defense,meanwhile, was still kneel-ing 15 yards downfield. So onthe third down Zito had his
quarterback run along theline of scrimmage, sidelineto sideline.
That play, too, was blowndead. Maloney punted, theBulldogs got the ball backand did their best to punch inanother touchdown. “I’venever seen anything like it,”said Zito, who is in his 37thseason of coaching. “I’veseen teams take a knee andthe other team not get on theball, but for the other team toline up that far downfield,that’s a new one.”
The bizarre sequence tearsat the integrity of the sport,which 50-point critics havelong said is the fundamentalproblem with the rule. Howdo you tell players not to try,to fall down, to not compete?It flies in the face of every-thing you teach them.
“I know that there are a lotof coaches who would like tosee it gone, for obvious rea-sons,” said Zito. “The reasonbehind it: He’s not coachinganymore. I’ve never seen acoach deliberately try to em-barrass another team andI’ve coached in a lot ofgames.”
One coach who will attestto the prevailing sportsman-ship of most coaches is RobMarone. In his first year atLyman Hall, where he inher-ited a very young team,Marone’s club has seen morethan one game that was ablowout by halftime - NotreDame 49-0, Guilford 56-0,Foran 37-0, Shelton 42-0.
Not one of those gameswent afoul of the 50-pointrule. Lyman Hall’s opponents

Third, eliminate job-killing regulations and redtape. Small business manu-facturers pay an astounding$28,000 per employee just tocomply with regulations. Isupport reform of Dodd-Frank, repeal of the Afford-able Care Act - which smallbusinesses strongly con-demn - and enabling Con-gress to bar regulations thatdestroy jobs.
Fourth, stop out-of-controlspending, borrowing anddebt. I would start with a 1percent real reduction eachyear, just one penny fromeach dollar. There is no justi-fication for continuing toprotect bureaucracy riddledwith waste from the samescrutiny and downsizingevery family and business isundertaking with painfulconsequences.
Fifth, educate and equipthe unemployed with thetraining and skills necessaryfor jobs available. Currentfederal programs overlapand fail to properly trainpeople for existing opportu-nities. We would connect jobcreators with the unem-ployed through public-pri-vate partnerships. It’s timeto cut the bureaucracy andlet states empower job cre-ators to design training that
will ensure more unem-ployed are job-ready.
Finally, produce moreAmerican energy. Given ourvulnerability in the MiddleEast, this is a no-brainer.Moreover, we have tremen-dous resources that can bedeveloped with responsiblesafeguards to protect the en-vironment. One example isthe Keystone Pipeline thatcould increase supply andcreate thousands of good-paying jobs. If we build itthey will come.
Six comprehensive propos-als that, together, can stopthis decline, revive confi-dence and unleash the poten-tial of small businesses to in-novate and create new jobs.To say that we are at a cross-roads is an understatement.This election will determinewhether America remainson a course that will take usover an economic cliff, orwhether an America of op-portunity and prosperity isrestored. I believe I have thekind of real world experi-ence, common sense and de-termination to help lead ourcountry’s comeback as thefirst female U.S. Senatorfrom Connecticut.

raise their families deserve toknow that the benefits they’veearned over a lifetime will beprotected. I have fought tire-lessly to ensure that Social Se-curity and Medicare will notbe privatized or cut, and inthe Senate, I will continueprotecting these programs forour seniors.
In Congress, I worked topass the Lily Ledbetter FairPay Act and supported thelaw that ended discriminato-ry practices by insurancecompanies and made healthcare coverage accessible to
millions of Americans.As we look to the future,
we must continue makingcrucial investments in trans-portation and education toprotect our state’s middleclass. In Connecticut, toomany of our roads andbridges are in poor condi-tion and our passenger railsystem needs to be strength-ened and expanded. As theson of a public schoolteacher, I know the impor-tance of education for Con-necticut families. I’ve helpedsecure funding to hire moreteachers and reduce classsizes, and I’ve fought tomake college more afford-able by increasing access toPell Grants and lowering in-
terest rates on Staffordloans.
Throughout my life, Ihaven’t just talked about sup-porting the American dream,I’ve been in the middle of thefight. I’ve worked every day tobring good paying jobs to ourstate, protect middle classfamilies, and make sure thatour kids get a shot at theAmerican dream. Connecti-cut’s working families deservea Senator that will fight forthem, and as a product of themiddle class - I’ll do just that.

substituted liberally andwent with conservative of-fenses.
“We haven’t been in anysituation this year whereanyone was throwing the ballon us when they were up by40 points or putting in theirstarters in the fourth quar-ter,” Marone said “The ma-jority of the guys out therewould do the right thingwhether the rule was in ex-istence or not. I believe that.
And I believe every coach wefaced this year has handledthe situation the right way. Ithasn’t been easy for us, but ithasn’t been easy for our oppo-nents. I think everyone hashandled it with a lot of class.”
One can argue class cannever be legislated. Onecould also argue that, withthe 50point rule , there’s noexcuse to ever forget it. Thedebate, and rule, lives on.
