First ladies: partners, hostesses and advocatesCommentary
By Paul ColellaSpecial to The Citizen
So far, every President ofthe United States has been aman. And each of these menhas partnered with a womanto help him with his duties.Most of the women havebeen wives of presidents. Ifa wife is unavailable, daugh-ters, other female relativesor family friends are askedto step in.
Early on,these presi-dential part-ners were ad-dressed withtitles such as“Lady,” or“Mrs. Presi-dent.” Theterm “FirstLady” became popular bythe early 20th Century; it re-called the woman’s role inthe home that is first in im-portance to the nation.
For more than 100 years,the chief duty of the firstlady was to serve as hostessat White House events. How-ever, a variety of roles haveoccupied first ladies duringtheir partnerships with U.S.presidents. Martha Wash-ington, America’s initialfirst lady, was a dignifiedwoman who was more athome managing a countryestate than fighting politicalbattles. Martha was already
a grandmother when Georgebecame president in 1789.The public called her LadyWashington. She understoodthe importance of her roleand set an admirable exam-ple for the women who fol-lowed her.
Abigail Adams has thedistinction of being the wifeof one U.S. president andmother of another: JohnQuincy Adams. Abigail’s ex-traordinary intelligence,love of learning, and keeninterest in politics made herthe perfect partner for ambi-tious lawyer-turned-politi-cian John Adams. Moreover,she is among the industri-ous, socially minded firstladies known as much forher own accomplishmentsas her husband’s.
Thomas Jefferson’s wifeMartha died 19 years beforehe became president in 1801,so he asked Dolley Madison,a family friend and future
first lady, as well as his old-est daughter, Martha Jeffer-son Randolph, to presideover official festivities. Fu-ture presidents like AndrewJackson and JamesBuchanan, who did not havewives, followed this practice,choosing a female friend orrelative to serve as officialhostess.
Dolley Madison was a gra-cious entertainer and peoplewere drawn to her warmthand vitality. She was knownfor her lavish and well-at-tended parties. She made thesnuff box fashionable forwomen and introduced ice-cream as dessert at her par-ties. During the War of 1812,she escaped with importantdocuments and a portrait ofGeorge Washington minutesbefore the British arrived toloot and burn the WhiteHouse. Another courageous
first lady was ElizabethMonroe, who went to Parisduring the French Revolu-tion and saved the lives ofthe Marquis de Lafayetteand his family from execu-tion.
Louisa Adams kept herhusband, John QuincyAdams, company in 1828 bywinding silk from her ownsilkworms while he workednearby. Edith Wilsonstepped in to deal with ad-ministrative details in 1919after a stroke left her hus-band, Woodrow Wilson, par-tially paralyzed. Criticscharged that she had be-come too involved in presi-dential matters, but herwork helped her husbandcomplete his term.
Early first ladies came tothe White house with the

Pepe, an administrator atDePaolo for five years, isearning his superintendentcertification through aUConn doctoral program.
“It allows you to move for-ward,” Pepe said. “It’s beenin the back of my mind for awhile. Without it, you can’treally move forward.”
Students aren’t allowed tointern in the town wherethey work. Pepe noticed thatthe Cheshire school districtwas on the list of possible lo-cations. A North Haven res-ident, Pepe said, “I knowCheshire well, and respectthe district and the work ofSuperintendent Florio.”
After a previous positiveexperience hosting an intern,Florio had no problem withbringing in Pepe. During theinternship, Pepe will be shad-owing Florio, so for Florio“it’s not that much of a bur-den.”
“We do need time for re-flection,” Florio said, “but

could be interpreted in dif-ferent ways.
The state GOP challengedSecretary of the State DeniseMerrill’s office in late Julyover the issue and then filed alawsuit in August. The suitcontends that Republicansshould have the top line inboth the presidential and U.S.Senate races. Merrill, a De-mocrat, maintains that heroffice interpreted the statutecorrectly and that her deci-sion was not partisan.
“It basically says that the
party of the candidate whoreceived the most votes forgovernor gets the top ballotline,” Merrill said in an Au-gust statement responding tothe suit.
That suit has reached thestate Supreme Court.Though state officials hadhoped the court would re-solve the suit this week, a de-cision had not been handeddown by Friday evening.
Fasano contends that thelawsuit is not a political play.
“It’s more intellectualthan anything else,” Fasanosaid.
Fasano’s Democratic op-ponent, former state Rep.Steve Fontana, said the suitappeared to be a Republicanmaneuver to “try to manipu-late the ballot to try to givethemselves every sort of par-tisan political advantage. Itseems kind of a waste oftime and money, frankly.”
Fontana, who is also alawyer, said he felt thestatute, like many others, ispoorly written, but that, con-stitutionally, the secretary ofthe state is charged with in-terpreting it.
“She was clearly acting inher constitutional jurisdic-tional authority,” Fontanasaid. Waiting for a stateSupreme Court decision haselection workers throughoutthe state a little frazzled, ac-cording to Wallingford TownClerk Barbara Thompson, asthey wait to place printingorders for their absentee bal-lots - which legally must beavailable to the public byOct. 5.
Thompson was on a con-ference call with other townclerks and the Secretary ofthe State’s Office Thursday,mostly discussing overseasand military ballots that hadto be sent out this week. Heroffice and others sent out analphabetical list of candi-dates instead of one listed byparty to those voters onThursday, as recommendedby the secretary’s office. Asfor the absentee ballots, she
said others were concerned,but she’s not too worriedabout getting them in time,trusting her printer, AdkinsPrinting, of New Britain, toprovide a quick turnaroundtime.
“I have total faith inthem,” Thompson said.
Clifford Heintz of Adkins,which produces ballots forabout 130 towns, includingWallingford, Meriden andSouthington, is concerned.The company normally hasorders in by early this weekand has two weeks and twofull weekends to run thepresses, but this slowdowntakes away at least one week-end.
“This is a killer,” Heintzsaid Friday. “Even when weget it at a normal time we’rescrambling. Missing thisweekend is just going to be abone-crusher.”
Fasano said the addedstress to election workersand the printers is an unfor-tunate byproduct of the suit,and that he did not think de-cisions would take so long, “Ireally thought we’d have adecision today.”
Av Harris, spokesman forthe Secretary of the State’sOffice, said his office doesnot know when the court willmake a decision, but says hebelieves it will be in time forclerks to order their absenteeballots.
“The sooner the court de-cides, the better - but it’s intheir hands at this point,”Harris said. “They’re awareof the deadlines we face.”
In the meantime, clerksand printers wait, hoping thedecision will come soon.North Haven Town Clerk J.Stacey Yarbrough said thather office needed absenteeballots ready by Oct 5, due tolegal requirements.

Fontana accomplished whenhe served as state represen-tative from 1997-2011. AsChairman of the Energyand Technology Committee,he passed legislation to fi-nance small business energyimprovements and promoterenewable energy jobs. Aschairman of the Insuranceand Real Estate Committee,he passed legislation to ex-tend how long laid-off work-ers can keep their healthcoverage and required in-surance companies to dis-close how often and whythey deny coverage.
During his time as staterepresentative, Steve wasable to secure numerousgrants for my town, includ-ing for drainage improve-ments and for improvementsto school properties.

PuzzledTo the editor:As a Muslim-American, I
am puzzled as to why anyonewould create a nasty movieabout my holy founder, theProphet Muhammad. I amalso unclear about whysome Muslim clerics wouldincite a mob to violence overthe broadcast of the film.
The Prophet Muhammadalways looked to makingpeace and helping othersaround him. The proof ofthis is that, as his followers,my Ahmadiyya MuslimCommunity USA honoredthe victims of 9/11 thismonth by donating thou-sands of bags of blood inour “Muslims for Life”drive. At the end of Septem-ber, we will walk at afundraiser called “Walk forHumanity USA,” to raisemoney for feeding the hun-gry in America. Before mak-ing a vulgar movie about theProphet Muhammad, the
filmmaker should have actu-ally studied the Prophet’slife and instructions.
And Muslims worldwidewill benefit by acting uponthem.

CommentaryAn Ounce of Prevention
Summer isn’tquite over
By V. Deborah Culligan,RN, MPH
While it may seem likesummer is over, there will beplenty of warm days in Sep-tember and October. Contin-ued warm weather com-bined, with stagnant watersources, will still createbreeding grounds for mos-quitoes. This means thatmosquitoes will continue tothrive until there is a sus-tained period of cold (frostfor at least a few consecutivedays). So it is very importantto remember that while youmay be out of “summermode,” mosquitoes are not.
There have been humancases of West Nile withinConnecticut, as well as theidentification of positivemosquitoes. The potentialfor the transmission of thisillness is definitely there. Ifmosquitoes are given the op-portunity, they will bite.Therefore, it is prudent totake measures to protectyourself from mosquitobites. This is especially im-portant for older persons.
The majority of people ex-posed to this virus do not be-come ill. For most of thosewho do become ill, a mild ill-
ness occurs, which may in-clude fever, headache, bodyaches, nausea, vomiting or askin rash. Less frequently,people develop severe illnessof the nervous system thatcan also include neck stiff-ness, disorientation, loss ofconsciousness, tremors,muscle weakness and paral-ysis. Persons older than 50years of age are more likelythan younger persons to suf-fer more severe health con-sequences if they becomeinfected with West Nilevirus. Older persons (andthose in poor health) tend tobe the ones who develop themost serious symptoms,which can sometimes belife-threatening.
Using Personal ProtectiveMeasures until the coldweather arrives will reduceyour chances of contractingWest Nile. Perhaps youthink it won’t happen to you,but if there are mosquitoes

We will have absenteelandlords, horrific parkingproblems, students may bewalking or riding bikes.Graduate students often havefamilies. This area shouldnever be used for residentialpurposes. It will also lowerthe property value of abut-ting property owners.
Change regulations to al-low Quinnipiac to build onits own campus. We won’thave to worry about 2,500cars on the road, parties,parking and absentee land-lords. This will leave moreparking availability for com-
mercial and retail business-es and more space for busi-ness which pay more taxesthan residential. The admin-istration wants private de-velopment of housing, butWashington Avenue is toobusy a thoroughfare. It willcreate serious safety prob-lems.

To the editor:Thanks to North Haven,
my summer vacation wasgreat again this year. Sincemy income is not enough formajor trips, concerts substi-tute as my annual vacation.The list includes open con-certs at Hamden, NorthHaven,Wallingford,Southington, West Havenand Cheshire.
Among these places,North Haven is the one thatstands out as having the bestquality and most numerousconcerts to please all genresof listeners. Consequently, I
cannot forgo the oportunityto acknowledge my appreci-ation for another great sea-son. There are several rea-sons that I must mentionthat make North Havenrank number one. First isthe ambiance, including themost beautiful, spacioustown green, adorned with agazebo and stone patio danc-ing floor.
Second is the number ofenjoyable concerts. Ten con-certs is a most generous ven-ue! The entertainers relatewell to most all age levelsand connect with the audi-ence. Try as I might to justsit and enjoy, inevitably Iend up on the dance floor,moving to the rhythm, evenbringing up my Sheltie, acertified therapy dog namedTrevor.
Other than the music,there are ancillary benefitsto attending these concerts.Food variety and vendorpersonnel are wonderful,
and they graciously providemost anything.
There are sufficient po-lice, fire and medical per-sonnel to provide safety. Fi-nally, I must not overlookthe antique car shows.
The concerts would notoccur without the necessaryleadership, efforts and fund-ing. Assistant Recreation Di-rector Eileen Pettit person-ally attends each concertand oversees every detail. Imust cite Michael Freda,First Selectman, wholaunches every concert byannouncing the beneficentsponsors. I’ve watched himinteract with the public,dance with the audience andgenuinely engage in conver-sation with many people.He’s just about the nicestfirst selectman I’ve everknown. (He did not pay meto state this.)

Commentary
Weigh this future It’s worth giving operaanother tryBy Kyle Swartz
There’s a burgeoning problemwhich could weigh down budgetswhile worsening people’s health inupcoming decades. According to arecently released national report, ifConnecticut trends continue, 46.5percent of in-state adults — quitealarmingly — will be obese by 2030.Alongside obvious hazards for citi-zens’ bodily well-being, this likelywould cause an uptick in hospitalvisits and medical treatments need-ed — raising employee health-insur-ance expenses for businesses andmunicipalities already battling fi-nancial difficulties.
But, according to the annual re-port by Trust for America’s Healthand the Robert Wood Johnson Foun-dation, taking proactive measurestoday can mean a healthier, more fis-cally sound tomorrow. By sheddingonly 5 percent of their body mass in-dex, obese adults could avoid mostmedical conditions related to carry-ing around excessive pounds, likeheart disease and diabetes. In turn,as reported in the Connecticut Mir-ror story of Sept. 19, this could savethe state about $7.3 billion in health-care costs by 2030. Thus, now is thetime to begin taking weight lossmore seriously.
How does a person drop 5 percent?(For a six-foot tall man of 200pounds, this equates to losing 10pounds.) Accomplishing this neces-sitates individuals begin buckingnegative developments whichhelped bring about this predica-ment.
In a down economic period, foodswith the least nutritional value havebecome more affordable, leadingsome cash-strapped families tochoose monetary savings overhealth benefits. However, this short-term decision means trouble inyears ahead. So if a consumer canafford it, they should spend a littleextra at the grocery store and pur-chase foodstuff that offers better nu-trition, an investment in an im-proved future. Eating smaller mealportions, too, is recommended.
As computers come to dominatestaff attention at workplaces, andhigh-definition televisions andvideo game consoles keep people en-tertained at home, lifestyles in gen-eral have become increasinglysedentary. All this sitting and still-ness is not good for the body. If cir-cumstances allow at work, employ-ees should get up and walk aroundinside or outdoors regularly. In free

Along with the onset of the foot-ball season, which just about every-one gets excited about, comes thestart of the opera season, of which Isuspect many would respond withsome variation on the root word“what,” as in “what?” or “so what?”or “whatever.”
This isn’t true of everyone, ofcourse. In San Francisco the start ofthe season is celebrated with a pa-rade and performance in GoldenGate Park. Since 2006, the Metropoli-tan Opera premiere has been broad-cast in Times Square. This year’sopener, on Sept. 24, is Donizetti’s“L’Elisir d’Amore” (which trans-lates as “the elixir of love”).
But for many, opera remains re-mote, its music as arcane as an arti-fact you’d find in a museum. TheMetropolitan Opera, the nation’sforemost opera company, has beenreaching out in recent years, as indi-cated by the Times Square showingsand by The Met Opera Live broad-casts in movie theaters across thecountry (and Canada).
This year there’s an additional op-
portunity for local residents to takeadvantage of, along with the NorthHaven 12 cinema. The movie theaterin downtown Middletown recentlychanged hands. So Destinta The-aters is now Metro Movies 12, andthe plan is to present the full seriesof Met Opera Live there, beginningwith “L’Elisir d’Amore” on Oct. 13.Other nearby opportunities are inWaterbury, Branford and Old Say-brook.
While obviously it’s not the sameas attending a live performance, thepresentation of live opera on moviescreens provides a less expensiveway to experience the art form, $22compared to the hundreds you couldspend to be as close in the operahouse. You don’t have to dress upand you can bring popcorn, and youget the chance to see if this is some-thing you might like.
I’ve been an opera fan for quite awhile now. When Connecticut Operawas a going concern, I reviewed per-formances for this newspaper. Itwasn’t until last year, however, that Idecided to take advantage of thechance to see an opera in a movie

same background in domes-tic life as other women oftheir day. Until the mid 19thcentury, few had even attend-ed school. Abigail Fillmore,wife of Millard Fillmore,was the first president’s wifeto have held a job of her ownas a school teacher. LucyHayes, wife of Rutherford B.Hayes, was the first collegegraduate to hold position offirst lady. She was a strongsupporter of the Woman’sChristian TemperanceUnion, and she served onlylemonade to her guests,earning the nickname“Lemonade Lucy.”
During the 20th centuryand into the present, whentime and interests permitted,first ladies have devoted evenmore attention to national is-sues and causes. Eleanor
Roosevelt expanded the roleof the president’s wife dur-ing her 12 years as first lady.Because her husband’s mo-bility was limited by polio,she traveled and spoke exten-sively on his behalf. She pur-sued her own social initia-tives, too — from civil rightsto family welfare to benefitsfor laborers including mineworkers.
In recent decades, eachfirst lady has chosen specificprograms to support.Jacqueline Kennedy revivedinterests in the arts, inWhite House history, and es-tablished the president’shome as a national museum.Lady Bird Johnson support-ed efforts to beautify the cap-ital city and its monuments.Pat Nixon encouraged na-tional volunteer efforts. Bet-ty Ford spoke out on behalfof handicapped children.Rosalyn Carter took up thecause of the mentally ill
while Nancy Reagan cam-paigned against illegaldrugs and traveled through-out the nation, making ap-pearances to encourage chil-dren to “Just Say No” todrugs.
Barbara Bush promotedthe cause for literacy. HillaryClinton took strong standson national healthcare andthe welfare of children na-tionally and abroad. LauraBush, like her mother-in-lawBarbara, pushed for literacy,and our current first lady,Michelle Obama, supportstroops and their families,and the fight against obesity.
All 44 women have servedtheir role of first lady in dif-ferent capacities includingpartners, hostesses, advo-cates and role models. In herown special way, eachwoman, past and present,has made significant contri-butions that have been —and still are — vital to Amer-ica, its people and its history.

like a nice person,” Floriosaid.
The experience can only bepositive for Pepe, Florio said,because while it may be chal-lenging to balance normalwork and family life while at-tending class and interning,“it’s an opportunity to get anunderstanding of whether ornot it’s something you wantto do.”
Florio said he thinks thatPepe will one day make agreat superintendent. Pepe’sother boss agrees.
“In the future, Frank willmake an outstanding front of-fice administrator,” saidSouthington School Superin-tendent Joseph V. Erardi Jr.
Pepe said he feels lucky hehas two “great superintend-ents” to analyze. He’s utilizedthe teachings of Florio andwords of wisdom from Erar-di to navigate his way.
“It’s been the most chal-lenging thing I’ve ever done,”Pepe said. “It’s been very re-warding though, but I’ve nev-er had to think so hard.”
He said that compared tothe thinking of an adminis-trator, the thought process ofa superintendent is totallydifferent. Everything mustbe considered on a greaterscale.
“Understanding coherencein the entire community isdifficult to wrap your headaround,” Pepe said. “I’vewatched superintendents dotheir job and said, ‘I get that, Ican do that,’ but once you’re
actually posed with the ques-tions they face, it’s a lot moredifficult than anticipated.”
Erardi said he couldn’t behappier that Pepe ended upunder the wing of Florio.
“I hold Greg Florio in veryhigh regard,” he said.
When Pepe first ap-proached Erardi, the super-intendent saw the experienceas a win-win for the schooldistrict. The time manage-ment Pepe is exhibitingwhile striving to grow is whatmakes a great school leader,Erardi said.
“I think it’s exactly whateducation is all about,”Southington Board of Educa-tion Chairman Brian Gorals-ki said.
With a “shortage of peoplewho want to do higher ad-ministration jobs,” Floriosaid, Pepe is setting a greatexample.
Already, Pepe has grownfrom his work in Cheshire. Atthe board meeting he attend-ed in early September inCheshire, he said that “thewhole idea that their Board ofEducation takes time to reaf-firm district and communityplans, I’ve never thought ofthat.” He hasn’t ignored thewisdom of his own districtleader just because he’s in-terning under Florio. Peperecently called Erardi athome and questioned him fora paper he was writing.
“They’re both very impres-sive,” Pepe said of Erardi andFlorio.

Three wins, a loss and a tieBy Ed Tantorski
Special to The Citizen
North Haven Youth Foot-ball teams went 3-1-1 in weekfive action.
The North Haven eight-graders (3-0-1) tied Madison8-8 in a hard-fought defen-sive game. The Indiansstruck first with BowenBrennan powering in from ayard out. Colin Finkle’s 2-point kick made it 8-0.North Haven’s defense waseffective, keeping Madison’soffense in check all day. Thedefensive front of Paul Mur-rary, Henry Pearson, VinAnastasio, Carson Tebbets,Dylan Daigle and MatthewRademacher made offensedifficult for their opponents.Mike Gagliardi made sever-al key tackles, as well as aninterception. Kyle Melliloalso added an interception.The Indians will face unde-feated East Haven next weekin a 12:30 showdown at Vana-core Field.
North Haven’s seventh-graders improved to 5-0 witha 22-16 win over Tri-Town onSunday. Steven Erbe openedthe scoring when he strippedthe ball from a Tri-Town of-fensive player and ran it in

theater. I took in “Das Rhein-gold” and “Die Walkure” atthe Buckland Hills Theaterin Manchester.
Those are the first two op-eras in Wagner’s four-operaRing Cycle. To say it is amassive work is perhaps un-derstating the situation. Theprologue and first act of thefinal opera, “Gotter-dammerung,” at about twoand a half hours, is longerthan some complete operas.
One thing that struck mewas that patrons were defi-nitely an older crowd. Infact, if I hadn’t brought oneof my sons with me I’m pret-ty sure I would have been theyoungest among them, a raresituation for me these days.It was also amusing to pon-der what other movie goersmust have been thinking,those who had come to see,say, “Paranormal Activity 3,”upon seeing so many enter atheater under the sign “DieWalkure,” and wonder who
this Walkure was and whysomebody wanted him to die,and wonder why this seemedso important to old people.
While the shear length ofthese operas might be off-putting, a lot of what’s inthem would be familiar toyoung enthusiasts of “TheLord of the Rings,” HarryPotter and other fantasy farethat has become so popular.The story involves gods, gi-ants, the slaying of a dragon,women warriors who ride onflying horses (the Valkyries,of which “Die Walkure”refers to one in particular)and a ring which endows itsbearer with all the power inthe world.
The Ring Cycle is not ontap for this season’s broad-casts, but there are many of-ferings that could provide aspark of enthusiasm, includ-ing “The Tempest,” “Aidi”and “Parsival.” All it takes isa trip to the movies.
