By Josh LaBella Voice Reporter In a response to a Voice editorial published on Sept. 26, Repub- lican mayoral candidate Michele Gregorio called West Haven a city of missed opportunities. The opinion piece requested that the candidates for mayor, Gregorio and Democratic incumbent Mayor Nancy Rossi, give concrete visions for their positions on West Haven’s finances, upcoming charter revisions and its quality of life. “The fact is, West Haven is once again broke, a result of mis- management by prior Democratic administrations,” said Gre- gorio. The Republican candidate said the Municipal Accountability Review Board, which took oversight of the city’s finances in the first week of Rossi’s term, is requiring West Haven to imple- ment “short- and long-term spending reductions and structural changes,” according to Gregorio. She said the city should have done this long before the state decided to intervene. Photo by Michael P.

As announced in the Voice, the publication has moved from its iconic 666 Savin Avenue address to an office at 840 Boston Post Road. The reasons for the move were both practical and the confluence of several other factors. Since the ownership of the Voice was reorganized in 2017, there has been talk of making a move to of- fice space owned by one of the principles in the new corporation. The move became necessary when the owners of the 666 Savin Avenue property realized that changes in its own business structure neces- sitated the basement area the paper occupied. So, it would be accurate to say the move was both ami- cable and mutually necessary. For those not aware of the history of the Savin Av- enue site, it was originally the home of Seth Taylor, the Town of West Haven’s resident undertaker more than 100 years ago. The basement was the kitchen, while the living space occupied the first and second floors. The attic was reserved for the servants. When Robert Joyce purchased the West Haven Town Crier in 1970, he moved it from Center Street to the 666 Savin Avenue location. It had long been abandoned as a home and converted to office space. Joyce rebranded the paper as the West Haven City News to focus on the recent recognition of West Ha- ven as a city. He also was an officer in the now de- funct Eastern Hockey League (of New Haven Blades fame) and ran both the publication and the league’s Making everything worse business out of the site.

Please post this as any dog walker on Sha- ron Avenue should be aware of the danger and also maybe Animal Control will now force these people to stop leaving their dogs to bark all day from the front windows. Is it very hard to be considerate? I again called the Animal Control and was informed that they can’t do anything if the dog is inside the house and barking out the window but if the dog was outside, >`iÃ>`V«>ðV 1 .

The Westies saw their two-game winning streak snapped and fell to 4-4 on the season with a 3-2 loss to Hamden Monday evening in West Haven. In a sloppily played contest, West Haven fell,, 25-22, 14-25, 25-22, 15-25, 4-15. After winning two of the first three game by identical 25-22 scores, West Haven could not close out the match. The Westies could not get anything going consistently and Hamden fought back to win the fourth game. With all the momentum, the Green Dragons easily closed out the contest in the fifth and deciding game by 11 points. Bria Stanley led West Haven with seven kills, five digs, two blocks and two aces. Giliana Santaniello added three aces, five digs, and six assists, Noelle Noble had three aces, four kills, and seven digs, Savannah Lopez had six assists and two digs, while Neve Krajcir chipped in three aces, three kills, and five digs. With a loss to Hamden still fresh on its minds, West Haven was looking to bounce back. A road trip to North Haven was going to be a tough battle. The Indians were too much to handle as North Haven posted a 12-25, 15-25, 25-23, 7-25 victory at North Haven High. The loss dropped West Haven to 4-5 on the year. The Westies did not get off to a good start, dropping the first two games. West Haven rallied to win the third game, before North Haven cruised to the win in the fourth game. Santaniello led West Haven with eight assists and six digs, Stanley had eight digs and seven kills, Neve Krajcir added five digs and three kills, while Chekeenah Jeudi had four digs and three kills. The fall season is a quick one. If any team knows that, it is the West Haven volleyball team. Already at the halfway point of the season, the Westies en- tered the second half in style, winning their second straight contest to improve to 5-5 on the year.
