BRIDGEPORT â It was only a 1-0 loss, but it was a loss that opened the 2004 Indoor Soccer State Cup tournament and something like that could pose problems to a team bent on winning a championship.

Not for the Newtown Rampage, though.

The Rampage (Girlsâ U12) rallied back from the loss with a 1-0 win over East Lyme (Southeast District champs) and a 2-1 win over Suffield (North Central District champs) to meet up again with Stamford (Southwest District champs).

And this time, it was the Rampage on the winning end of a 1-0 score.

Midway into the second half of a scoreless tie, Kate Bowen rocketed home the winning goal off a perfectly crossed pass from Taylor Smith. Monica Warek and Ally Modzelewski anchored the tenacious defense while goalie Katie Pessin registered five saves to notch the shutout.

Caleigh Boyle, Laura Bittman and Jordyn Good supplied the offensive pressure for the Rampage.

In the 2-1 win over Suffield, Warek led the offensive attack as she registered both assists for Newtown. In the first half Smith scored off a lead pass while in the second half Bowen scored off a throw in. Berenice Bryant played well defensively while Pessin made five saves to preserve the win for Newtown.

Kristen Tanner, Laetitia de Brantes, Hannah Basch-Gould and Susan Mason played well at forward to lead the offensive attack.

In the 1-0 win over East Lyme, Sara Kelley scored the lone goal. Modzelewski played well defensively while Pessin made five more saves to earn the shutout. Bittman and Boyle played well for Newtown. And in the 1-0 loss to Stamford to open the tournament, Basch-Gould, Good, Kelley, Tanner and Mason all played well. Pessin made eight saves in net while Bryant played well on defense.

The Rampage also put together a 2-0 regular season win over Fairfield and the Trumbull Sports Zone. Bittman and Kelley netted goals as Mason and Smith contributed assists. Kirsten Hudock, Warek, Modzelewski, Bowen and Smith led the defense to preserve the shutout.

Pessin had an outstanding game, making 24 saves to shut down the Fairfield offense.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
