As part of an ongoing in-vestigation into allegedprostitution, police raidedthe Shiatsu Spa, 444 Wash-ington Ave., on the morningof Thursday, June 27, ac-cording to North Haven po-lice.
As of July 9, there havebeen no arrests yet, but theShiatsu Spa is closed pend-ing investigation, said Lt.Kevin Glenn.
The raid, which lastedseveral hours, involved bag-ging and trucking of piecesof evidence to be used in thecontinued investigation.
According to Glenn, theinvestigation involves notonly the Shiatsu Spa inNorth Haven, but also the
Tokyo Leisure Club and Zo-diac Health Studio in EastHaven. The investigationhas been in progress for afew months now. NorthHaven and East Haven po-lice are working together tolink these businesses to anorganized prostitution ring.The FBI is also assisting.
There have been com-plaints about suspicious ac-tivity at the spa for sometime, according to Glenn.Police received several callsfrom North Haven residentsand business-owners re-garding the matter.
Dr. Candice Pollack ofAdvanced Physical Medi-cine, an adjacent business tothe Shiatsu Spa, long sus-pected that “there wassomething not exactly rightgoing on next door.” She
said that she is relieved tono longer be in the vicinityof this type of activity.

for 400 new jobs — did notcome to pass.
The north corridor ofWashington Avenue, perhapsthe most blighted region ofNorth Haven, has also beenaffected by proposals whichultimately fall through.
“We’ve had a lot of partieswho’ve been interested inbuying in that area, but theprice difference becomes toogreat between what they’rewilling to pay and what devel-opers ask for,” said NorthHaven First SelectmanMichael Freda, who has pri-oritized economic develop-ment since taking top officein 2010. “We’ve lost a lot ofpotential partnerships be-cause of that. I’ve learnedthat we can bring the partiestogether, but we cannot con-trol the price.”
Lacking major businessgrowth, Northern Washing-ton Avenue stays in a sort ofholding pattern. “In the past,there hasn’t been any realclear direction of what is go-ing to happen in that area,”said North Haven EconomicDevelopment ChairmanRichard LoPresti.
However, success of a ma-jor project on the other sideof town may be indicative ofa better future for NorthernWashington Avenue. Afteryears of negotiations withstate officials, Yale-NewHaven Hospital was able inMarch of 2013 to open a20,000-square-foot branch onDevine Street.
Since then, other newhealthcare businesses haveopened in the immediatevicinity, including a cardiolo-gist group and a Healthtraxgym. Plans call for construc-

tion of a 55-and-over livingcommunity and a high-endanimal surgery center. Andinitial blueprints for thestate’s proposed New Haven-Springfield high-speed railwould establish a train sta-tion nearby.
Even shops and companiesnot healthcare-based havebenefited from the increasein customer traffic thanks tothe Yale-New Haven satellite.“Since Yale-New Haven Hos-pital moved in, businesses inthat area have reported thattheir business is up by asmuch as 20 percent,” Fredasaid.
That kind of encirclingeconomic uptick, LoPrestibelieves, could accompanythe new Quinnipiac Frank H.Netter MD School of Medi-cine on Bassett Road, off ofWashington Avenue. “I thinkQuinnipiac will have asmuch impact on the northernarea of North Haven as Yale-New Haven already does inthe southern area,” LoPrestisaid. “I think we’re going tosee something once Quinnip-iac is up and running.”
Opened in 2013 after a $100-million investment, with firstclasses to begin in August,the Quinnipiac school inNorth Haven will bring grad-uate and post-graduate hous-ing into the area. This meansan imminent influx of med-ical students and staff intoNorthern Washington Av-enue. Consequently, townleaders will bring in the Con-necticut Economic ResourceCenter in September to exam-ine business potential of thisunderdeveloped stretch oftown.
“They will determine whatbusinesses we should go outand actively market to,whether this is hotels, banks,pharmacies, or any other
businesses which tie in withthe new medical demograph-ic emerging in that area,”Freda said. “On WashingtonAvenue between I-91 exits 12and 13, we need to make sig-nificant improvements.”
Near that stretch of Wash-ington Avenue, on 165 over-grown acres back behind themain road, sits the white ele-phant of North Haven. De-commissioned in the 90s, the1.3-million-square-foot for-mer Pratt and Whitney facto-ry has become dilapidated,while various plans to revi-talize the property fell apart,especially after the 2007 re-cession.
But in February, interna-tional real-estate firm RabinaProperties, which owns thesite, announced new partner-ship with Branford-basedmarketing and developmentfirm O,R&L. Together, they in-tend to raze the rundownstructure and reestablish the165 acres as an industrialpark. Initial stages of demoli-tion will start this summer.
“I’m very excited aboutthis,” Freda said. “For thefirst time in three years, theyfinally have a plan. The con-cept is great. An industrialpark would be beneficial fortown from a tax and jobsstandpoint. It is going togrow our Grand List.”
LoPresti agreed. “Tearingdown that building is a goodfirst step,” he said. “Rabinarealized that that’s the firststep to making the propertymore marketable. That’s anobsolete building. Once it’sdown, I think we’re going tosee much more activity overthere.”
“Along the 91-corridor,that’s the largest piece ofproperty of that type in Con-necticut,” LoPresti added.“There are very few proper-
ties that size with that kind offlexibility for its future.There’s a lot of potentialthere. I’m really looking for-ward to it.”
Freda emphasized that to-tal revitalization of the Prattand Whitney property willtake time. “It is not going tohappen within one year,” hesaid. “It may be five to sevenyears before this whole proj-ect is done.”
As is economic develop-ment: a matter of time, ofdeals coming together anddissipating apart. Projectsagreed upon after years ofnegotiations can then takemany years more of designand construction before offi-cials finally get to cut the redribbon out front for grand
opening.“It’s my job to think both
long-term and short-term,”Freda said. “The future is re-ally bright here, from aGrand List growth stand-point and from a job creationstandpoint. We’re trying tocreate developments thatdon’t interfere into the dailylives of residents.”
“Financially, we’re incred-ibly strong right now,” headded. “There’s no doubtwe’re growing top-line rev-enue. The goal is to maintaina tax structure that mini-mizes the tax burden for theresidents of North Haven,while adding services at thesame time. It’s a tremendous-ly difficulty challenge, butthat’s the goal.”

By Amy FlorySpecial to the Citizen
My four- and six-year-oldkids love being outside. Theylove getting dirty, and theylove staying up late. We allenjoy going on vacation, andmy husband and I love notdropping a ton of cash on
those vacations. All of thesethings combined make usgreat campers.
During the summer, wecarve out at least two week-ends to devote to campingtrips. Connecticut has anamazing number of familycampgrounds, many ofwhich allow pets, a require-
ment for us because webring with us our black lab,Edgar.
Family campgroundsaren’t for the hard-corecamper — they are bettersuited for a more fair-weath-er camper. They often havepools and playgrounds, bath-rooms with showers, and
Camping with the kidsCommentary
scheduled activities for thosewho wish to participate. It isnot a secluded environment,but for us, that is just right.
Bathrooms with runningwater and flushing toiletsare a must for this mom andher young children. If you’veever taken a small child in aporta potty, you know what Imean. Kids like to touchthings, even disgustingthings.
Also, my kids love toswim. A campground with apool provides hours of enter-tainment for adults and kidsalike. A family campgroundis going to have other kidsrunning around, and neigh-bors who are more likely toadhere to quiet hours be-cause they have kids, too.
Many campgrounds offerhiking trails, and lakes orrivers for fishing, swimming,and boating. There are craftsfor the kids and bingo for theadults. Our most recent triphad a $100 bingo prize, andhad I won that, I could havealmost made money on ourtrip!
I love camping with ourkids. Today’s child is so heav-ily monitored — it is impor-tant for them to get time out-side, where they can ridebikes around the loop, or go
for short walks without anadult. We especially enjoycamping with family friendswho have similarly aged chil-dren. We grownups visitaround the campfire whilethe kids make friends withneighboring campers, createa bike gang of school-agedchildren free of trainingwheels and a need for speed,and play made-up gameswith nothing but sticks,pinecones, and imagination.
After the kids go to bed,we adults can almost pretendwe are in our pre-kid days,laughing and visiting in theway one can only do awayfrom younger ears.
Camping is a simple, af-fordable, and healthy way fora family to enjoy a local va-cation. It makes my childrenfeel like little adventurers,free to explore, and it makesme feel relaxed, rejuvenated,and happy.

With the arrival of sum-mer, more drivers will hitthe American highways for
summer vacations. Here aresome summer driving tips tohelp prepare your vehicleand ensure it is in optimaldriving condition for yoursummer getaway or yourday-to-day driving in hotter
weather conditions:1. Change your motor oil
regularly. Regular oilchanges with the correctgrade of motor oil can im-prove gas mileage up to twopercent. Synthetic oils arebest for high-temperaturedriving conditions and foradded protection when tow-ing.
2. Check your tire pres-sure. Keeping your tiresproperly inflated can helpimprove gas mileage up tothree percent. Be sure tocheck your tire pressure be-fore you begin driving forthe day. This allows you toget a cold pressure reading(the number commonly ref-erenced in your owner’smanual).
3. Clean your fuel system.This helps improve fueleconomy and maximize en-gine performance by remov-ing dirt and deposits fromthe fuel system.
4. Use cruise control onhighways. This will help youmaintain a constant speed,which in most cases helpsimprove fuel economy.
5. Do not idle. It requiresless gas to restart a vehiclethan to let it idle.
6. Park in the shade or agarage. The sun zaps fuelfrom your gas tank. Parking
in the shade or garage willlessen the amount of evapo-rative emissions.
7. Check your cooling sys-tem (radiator). It protectsyour engine from overheat-ing in hot summer condi-tions. Follow your owner’smanual for regular mainte-nance.
8. Check your serpentinebelt. Replacing the serpen-tine belt when needed helpsprevent breakdowns. Itkeeps your vehicle’s powersteering, alternator, waterpump and AC running.
9. Check your air condi-tioning system. Nothingmakes the summer heatmore unbearable than travel-ing with an air conditioningsystem that will not coolproperly.
10. Check your wind-shield wipers and wiper flu-id. The combination of badwipers and a summer down-pour can leave you with noview of the road. Be sure youhave plenty of wiper fluid tohelp keep your windshieldclear of dirt and debris.
Also, remember to followthe vehicle maintenance pro-cedures outlined in yourowner’s manual. These canhelp improve your fuel econ-omy and prolong the life ofyour vehicle. The following
should be included:• Check your transmission
fluid: changing the fluidwhen needed helps restoreyour vehicle’s operation byprotecting the gears fromgrinding.
• Rotate your tires regular-ly: this prevents unevenwear, which can shorten thelife of your tires. It also im-proves vehicle handling andtraction.
• Check your gearbox flu-id: changing the fluid whenneeded restores additives toprotect the gears from grind-ing. This is especially impor-tant for four-wheel drive ve-hicles because they havethree gear boxes.
Follow these summer driv-ing tips and your vehicle’sregular maintenance sched-ule to get optimal drivingconditions and good fueleconomy for your vehiclethis summer. So, get outthere and enjoy your sum-mer vacation, or at least, youcan feel better about drivingduring the dog days of sum-mer.

CitizenOpinion16 The North Haven CitizenFriday, July 12, 2013
Funding for Connecticuttransportation has strayedoff course. Even as gas taxesgrow in Gov. Dannel P. Mal-loy’s new budget — residentsreportedly will pay an addi-tional $60 million at pumpsnext year — infrastructureinvestments stay stuck inlow gear. According to 2010U.S. Census Bureau re-search, this state ranks thirdfrom last in dollars allottedfor upgrades to public railsystems, highways, roads,etcetera. Meanwhile, 331 outof 3,980 state bridges exhibita structural deficiency, as do193 out of 1,286 municipalbridges.
A Connecticut Mirrornews article describes howthe financial setup is not op-erating as originally intend-ed. Gas prices rose signifi-cantly after 2005, when for-mer Gov. M. Jodi Rell spear-headed an initiative to re-place aged commuter railcars by raising state revenueat the pumps. Buoyed bysummertime hikes in na-tional fuel costs, this quicklybecame a major cash genera-tor. In year one, it collected$179 million. Then the levysurpassed an eight-yeargrowth expectation afteronly twelve more months.
Flush with gasoline-tax fi-nances, legislators had per-
fect opportunity to imple-ment long-needed improve-ments for Connecticut infra-structure. Instead, much ofthat money went elsewhere.Politicians allowed their ini-tial objective to drift.
After Rell’s own partybalked at her 2007 attempt toraise income taxes for in-creased public-educationaid, those school expendi-tures relocated into the Gen-eral Fund. Once there, theyand other non-transporta-tion items began siphoningoff dollars garnered by fuellevies. Regrettably, between2005 and 2013, about $1.27 bil-lion raised by such taxes hasbeen spent on projects otherthan infrastructure.
In the same article, WiltonState Rep. Gail Lavielle aptlysums up dissatisfactions feltby Connecticut travelers.“What ticks people off themost is that they perceivetheir (fuel) tax dollars aredisappearing down a blackhole . . . They are payingmore for gasoline but theyare not getting anything new. . . anything better.”
To his credit, Malloy rec-ognizes this prolonged mis-use of money. By 201415, hisstated goal is for transporta-tion to share just $15 millionannually with the GeneralFund. In years afterward,the governor plans for zeroinfrastructure dollars ex-
pended on education andother programs.
Malloy’s proposal is com-mendable — if not political-ly correct. And this comes ashis administration enacts a4-cent-pergallon increase,which brings the total Con-necticut fuel tax to thirdhighest nationally.
Thus, the proof of his in-tent will be in projects com-pleted. Metro-North linescan be improved. Interstates95 and 84 require wideningin certain areas, possiblythroughout. An elevated por-tion of I-84 in Hartford isnear conclusion of its serv-iceable life. Those struc-turally deficient bridgesneed repair. All told, essen-tial upgrades likely will costbillions.
Which is why politiciansshould immediately work tosteer significant portions offuel-levy revenue back to in-frastructure. Otherwise,Connecticut remains ontrack to contain one of theleast-effective transporta-tion- financing systems inAmerica — at the cost offrustrated commuters, whosee little progress made fromsurging gas taxes.

Connecticut infrastructure:taxing concerns
By Chris Powell
Since it has been done formany years, what’s reallythe big deal about Connecti-cut state government’s rais-ing gasoline taxes and di-verting much of the revenueaway from transportationpurposes?
That question was raisedimplicitly by the study ofConnecticut gas taxes by theConnecticut Mirror’s KeithPhaneuf and Neena Satija,published in the Journal In-quirer the other day.
While some Republicanstate legislators are promot-ing an Internet petition to re-peal the nearly 4-cent-per-gallon tax increase that tookeffect July 1, Governor Mal-loy, a Democrat, bears nospecial responsibility for it.
Of course the governor ishappy to have continued dis-cretion with the gas tax rev-enue for his new state budg-et, which increases spendingby 10 percent over two years,an astounding level amid thestate’s continuing economicdecline. But this month’s gastax increase was enacted aspart of a series of increasesbegun in 2005 at the behest ofMalloy’s Republican prede-cessor, Jodi Rell. The diver-sion of gas tax revenue awayfrom transportation to theGeneral Fund began underRell too. When Rell was gov-ernor raising gas taxes anddiverting their revenue fromtransportation were finewith nearly everyone.
So the objections to thisdiversion condemn Democ-rats and Republicans alike.
— As a tax on a particularitem, an excise tax, ratherthan a general tax, the gastax presumes a special rela-tion to the people who pay it.That is, why should gas buy-ers pay more for governmentthan others unless they re-ceive additional services?This once was considered amatter of fairness. By thatstandard, diversion of gas
tax revenue to state govern-ment’s General Fund is un-fair.
— Indeed, the idea of thegas tax originally was to sup-port transportation infra-structure maintenance andimprovement. As gas tax rev-enue has been diverted,maintenance and improve-ment have been neglectedagain, as they were prior tothe infamous collapse of theConnecticut Turnpikebridge in Greenwich in 1983.
— While Connecticut’s taxper gallon of gas sold at thepump is posted on the pumpand clear for everyone to see,the state tax on wholesalepurchases of gas is not. Thewholesale tax, nearly 9 per-cent, is hidden in the price atthe pump and was devisedprecisely to be hidden, toshift blame for high gasprices from government tooil companies and gas sta-tions. The money raised bythe wholesale tax could beraised just as easily throughthe tax per gallon shown atthe pump, but then peoplewould understand. Electedofficials are happier stillthat, as the base price ofgasoline has risen, thewholesale tax, being a per-centage of the wholesaleprice, has produced a lotmore revenue without any-one having to vote again toraise taxes.
Governor Malloy acknowl-edges that diverting gas taxrevenue from transportationis bad practice and he sayshe plans to end it with thenext state budget two yearsfrom now, presuming his re-election.
But such plans are mean-ingless until substantialspending reductions or re-placement revenues areidentified, and no one now instate office can do that. Afterall, two taxes — the corpo-rate income tax surchargeand the tax on electricity

The diversion of gas taxrevenue and the neglect oftransportation infrastruc-ture are more examples ofConnecticut’s cannibaliza-tion of public services to pla-cate special interests, partic-ularly public employees,whose compensation keepsrising as the state sinks.
Letting roads and bridgesdeteriorate while guarantee-ing state employees theirluxurious medical insurancecoverage for another fiveyears, putting the issue be-yond reconsideration until2022, are choices the gover-nor and the General Assem-bly have made with full de-liberation. These choicesmay be advantageous politi-cally but as policy they aredisastrous.

“Slip! Slop! Slap! Wrap” isthe slogan of the NationalCouncil on Skin Cancer Pre-vention: Slip on a shirt, slopon sunscreen that has anSPF of 15 or greater and isbroad spectrum, slap on awide-brimmed hat, and wrapon sunglasses.
Skin damage from the sunis real. It can be a primarycause of skin cancer. Manypeople purposely exposetheir skin to the sun withoutsunscreen protection in pur-suit of a tan, because theythink that they look betterwith a tan. They may look“better,” but they may betrading “looks” for damaged,wrinkled, leathery un-healthy skin. Some peopleunderstand this message,and some have not yet ac-cepted it.

Commentary
skin from sun assault, thisinformation may help youunderstand what you need ina sunscreen verses what sun-screen product manufactur-ers want you to buy.
There are two main fac-tors to consider when buyinga product: the SPF (sun pro-tection factor) and whetheror not it is a broad spectrumproduct. The rest of theproduct is fluff and is moreabout your preference forperfumes, scents, ease of ap-plication and cost. You canapply sunscreen in any form(spray, cream, lotion, gel orwax). The important thing isto apply it.
The term “broad spec-trum” is a new FDA designa-tion that indicates that theproduct protects againstboth types of damaging sun-rays: UVA and UVB. Thismeans that this product willhelp to protect not onlyagainst sunburn, but alsoprotect for skin cancer andskin aging. If the product islabeled broad spectrum, theclaim must also include astatement such as “whenused as directed and withother sun protective meas-ures.” If a broad spectrumproduct has an SPF of lessthan 15, it can only be la-beled to protect against sun-burn. The same is true forproducts with an SPF only. Ifit is at least 2 but less than15, it can only be labeled tobe protective against sun-burn.
Some people may be con-fused about the SPF. The SPFrepresents the degree towhich the sunscreen can pro-tect the skin from sunburn.It is the measure of protec-tion against the rays thatcause sunburn. The numberis established by how long ittakes the sun to burn skinthat is treated with sun-screen compared to how longit takes for untreated skin toburn. There is no specificrecommendation for whatSPF you should choose. TheAmerican Academy of Der-matology recommends 30.You should note that an SPFof “60” does not necessarilymean double protection.How well a sunscreen worksdepends on how it is appliedand how long it remains on.
Waterproof, sweat-proofor “sun-block claims” are nolonger allowed on sun-blockproduct labels. If a sun-screen passes a water-resist-ant test, it can claim to bewater-resistant, but it mustinclude instructions on howlong it is water-resistant andwhen it needs to be re-ap-plied (generally 40 minutesor 80 minutes while swim-ming or sweating, based onstandard testing).
Sunscreens alone are not a
100-percent guaranteeagainst skin damage fromthe sun’s rays. For the mosteffective sun protection, youshould:
• Recognize that the sun’srays can affect you during allseasons of the year. They canpenetrate clouds. They re-flect off surfaces like water,cement, sand and snow.
• Use sunscreens that arebroad spectrum and haveSPF values of 15 or higher.
• Limit time in the sun, es-pecially between the hours of10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when thesun’s rays are strongest.
• Wear clothing to coverskin exposed to the sun, in-cluding broad-rimmed hats.
• Reapply sunscreen atleast every two hours.
• Use a water-resistantsunscreen when swimmingor sweating, with frequentapplications.
• Check expiration dates.A sunscreen without an expi-ration date usually has amaximum shelf-life of threeyears. However, exposures ofthese products to high tem-peratures can cause theshelf-life to be shorter.
• It is also important toprotect your eyes from thesun’s rays. Exposure to UVrays may lead to eye prob-lems like cataracts. Longhours without eye protectioncan result in a short-termcondition known as photok-eratitis, which is a reversiblesunburn of the cornea in the
eye. It can happen at thebeach or from the snow. Sun-glasses that offer 99- to 100-percent UV protection willhelp to protect your eyesfrom harmful rays. Be surethey are labeled “sunglass-es” and are not just fashionglasses. Fashion glasses willreduce the glare, but do notprevent damage from UVrays. Children should wearreal sunglasses, not toy sun-glasses. Wraparound stylesoffer the most protection
• Do not apply sunscreenon infants less than sixmonths old. In fact, it is bestwith all infants to use protec-tive clothing and shade in-stead of sunscreens. Accord-ing to the FDA, babies haveskin that is much thinnerthan that of adults and havea high surface area to bodyweight ratio that allow theactive chemical ingredientsin sunscreens to be more eas-ily absorbed. This can in-crease the risk of an allergicreaction or inflammation.

from the 1960s to present.The total number in his
collection is “a secret,”Guertin said, but he has moredispensers in storage.
Each year, the PEZ VisitorCenter reaches out to collec-tors and asks them to displaytheir collection. Guertinagreed to do so last year andwas invited back again thisyear.
He doesn’t know when hishobby started, but he believesit ran in the family.
“My father was always acollector, so I think I probablygot that from him,” Guertinsaid.
Originally invented as abreath mint in Austria, PEZhas been around for morethan 80 years. According toPEZ’s website, in 1948, OscarUxa invented the first dis-penser and made it resemblea cigarette lighter to encour-age people to stop smoking.Later, character heads wereadded to the dispensers. Bar-bies, Toy Story and Star Trekdispensers are a few moderneditions.
Although Guertin buyssuch modern dispensers, healways looks for ones fromthe past. Vintage charactersinclude Popeye from the late1950s and Disney’s classicMickey Mouse cartoon from
PEZContinued from page 1
the early 1960s.His collection also features
superheroes like Batman andGreen Hornet and holiday-re-lated dispensers like Easterand Christmas.
Many people collect vin-tage items out of nostalgia.Guertin said, “I think it wastypical of a lot of people thatthey want to return to theirchildhood when they thoughtthings were better.”
Since the launch of PEZinto popular culture, thebrand has garnered a largecommunity of fans. PEZ col-lector communities scheduleconventions around theworld, which allow collectorsand dealers to meet, buy andsell PEZ items. Auctions forcharity and games and con-tests with PEZ merchandisefor the winner also take placeat the conventions.
Guertin has seen pricesrange from $10 to $1,000 fordispensers and said the rarerthe dispenser, the pricier it is.
Guertin attends conven-tions when he gets thechance. This past May hewent to one in Stamford, anda few years ago he and hiswife visited a convention inAustria.
Now, in his law firm, thePEZ dispensers can sootheclients. “[My collection]makes them feel a little morecomfortable when they comein,” Guertin said. “Becausewe talk about some heavytopics sometimes, about dy-ing and drug abuse and otherunhappy things that go on inpeople’s lives.” He recountedrecently how he and a clienthad bonded over their simi-lar hobby.
“A lot of people collectthings,” Guertin said. “Peo-ple collect a lot more than youthink they do. I just thinkthey don’t talk about it muchbecause … it’s something wedo not for notoriety but justbecause we enjoy doing it.”
His friends and family ac-cept his collecting hobby, butGuertin said that “somethink I’m crazy, and … I’msure there are ones whothink it’s foolish but don’t saytoo much about it. [They] justgo along with it.”
Guertin’s PEZ collectionwill be displayed throughJuly at the PEZ Visitor Cen-ter. For more information,call (203) 298-0201.

At 89 Mill Road sits the An-imal Haven, a North Havenanimal shelter where the mis-sion is “to provide a tempo-rary, safe, caring and humanerefuge for homeless, adopt-able cats and dogs, and to sub-sequently place these animalsin quality, adoptive and per-manent homes.”
The Animal Haven is a no-kill shelter. Explained animalcare coordinator MichelleDeRosa, “We rescue animalsfrom situations that if we did-n’t take then in, they probablywould be euthanized.”
Kate Cryder, general man-ager, said it is rewarding tocare for the animals. She andDeRosa have seen animalscome to the shelter “scared todeath,” only to see themchange within a few days.“They trust us,” Cryder said.She and DeRosa agreed thatthe most exciting part is whenhard-to-place animals findhomes, as well as when near-to-death cats and dogs arenursed back to health and areadopted.
Shelter employees give am-ple care to matching pets withadopters. If necessary, it cantake months of patience tofind a match because the Ani-mal Haven wants to find thebest “forever home,” Crydersaid. Animals up for adoptioncannot have bite histories,and they are healthy, vacci-nated, and of good tempera-ments. They are all spayedand neutered, as well.
As of June 17, the AnimalHaven housed a total of 137animals, 118 cats and 19 dogs,although Cryder said thatthose numbers are constantlychanging. Right now it is theannual “cat season,” and kit-tens abound in the nurseryand in several other roomsdesignated for cats. The moth-er cats and kittens need quali-fied homes. Over one hundredfelines of all sizes and colorscan be found at the AnimalHaven, awaiting their “forev-er homes.”
You can visit theanimal-haven.com for AnimalHaven’s hours, or you can goto its open house on Saturday,
July 20 from 12 noon to 3 p.m.for refreshments, a tour of theshelter, prizes, a raffle, and tosee pets up for adoption.
“We take care of our ani-mals to a crazy degree,” Cry-der said. According to Cry-der, working with animals is“constant, hard, 24/7, amaz-ing, emotional, an honor, andrewarding.”
There are eight “dedicat-ed” staff in addition to her.“They’re amazing,” she said.Individuals on the staff knowthe names of every single kit-ten, and on a day that the Ani-mal Haven is closed to thepublic, the workers will cleancages, do laundry, and takecats and dogs to the vet. Ani-mal Haven workers will evenfoster some of the animals ifneeded.
The shelter relies heavilyon donations to care for ani-mals, being a private and in-dependent, tax-deductible,nonprofit organization. Ac-cording to Cryder, the AnimalHaven always needs cannedcat food and canned dog food.Paper towels, bleach, and La-tex gloves are needed forcleaning. “Infection controlis our mantra,” Cryder said.Sheets, towels, and laundrydetergent are also helpful do-nations.
“Most of our money goes tovet care . . . we go above andbeyond,” Cryder said. Dona-tions can be made online attheanimalhaven.com/do-nate.html through Paypal,given directly to the shelter,or one could become a mem-ber and regularly support it.“We’re grateful for every littlebit,” DeRosa added.
The Animal Haven willhave a supply drive at BigLots on Sunday, July 14; thetime is still being decided.When customers walk in thestore, they will be handedwish-lists containing itemsthe Animal Haven needs.They can purchase itemssuch as paper towels in BigLots and donate them to theAnimal Haven as they leave.
Cryder expressed gratitudefor the Animal Haven’s “awe-some support system.”
“There is no bad dona-tion,” she said.
‘It’s cat’s season’ at theAnimal HavenMeet Lady. She is a wonderful 4-year
old calico cat. She has a beautiful or-ange-and-black coloring with a medium-length coat and a fluffy tail. She is verysoft and likes to be brushed. Lady wasbrought to the shelter because her elderlyowner was unable to care for her. She wasvery loved and is now looking for a new,loving home. Lady is a calm, sweet, affec-tionate cat who likes to be held and pet-ted. She will make a wonderful compan-ion. Please consider adopting Lady. Sheis spayed and current on her vaccina-tions.
