With nine pins in the championship round, the undefeated Newtown High School wrestling team dominated Norwalk in the championship dual, 62-18, to win the third annual Nighthawk Invitational Duals tournament, on its home mats, December 27. The Nighthawks have won their tournament each year.

In pool play, Newtown beat Joel Barlow of Redding 69-12, Notre Dame-West Haven 74-6, and Branford 52-23. All told, the Nighthawks had 43 individual wins, 30 pins, and only ten match losses.

The following wrestlers all went undefeated at 4-0 in the tourney: Tommy Milligan, Kenna Gioffre, Grayson Renkert, Antonio Argüello, Jake Maddox, Marc Maurath, Fisher Stites, and Jon DaSilva.

Newtown improved to 6-0 in dual matches and has two tournament championships under its belt.

After hosting Weston on Wednesday, the Hawks will compete in the Southland Duals, at Southington High, on Saturday, January 6, starting at 9 am.

Note, in the previous week’s George Bossi Holiday Tournament, Maddox earned five pins, one more than was originally reported.

Middle School Counseling Department Hosts Annual Career Day

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
