City Hall gets charging kiosk
Mayor Nancy R. Rossi and city grants writer Doug Colter join seniors of the electrical department at Eli Whitney Technical High School in the parking lot of City Hall on May 6. The student electricians, instructed by department head and master electrician Mike Siefker, installed West Haven’s first charging kiosk for electric cars. The 240-volt charger was donated by Enfield manufacturer Control Module Inc. under a pilot program sponsored by the Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition Inc. Rossi agreed to have the charger installed in the City Hall parking lot for public use. Electric car owners can use the charger for free because it is connected to an existing solar array atop the adjacent, future West Haven Center for the Arts, Colter said. The city, however, will monitor the usage cost and may install a pay station if the usage exceeds what it earns from the rooftop solar photovoltaic system, he said

Ethan Kubicko, a sixth grader at Carrigan Intermediate School, also received a mayoral proclamation for Apraxia Awareness Day. Nicholas and Ethan have childhood apraxia of speech, or CAS, an uncommon speech disorder in which a child has difficulty making accurate movements when speaking. To increase awareness of the speech disorder for the fourth straight year, the students recently contacted Rossi about declaring the special day in West Haven.
