DANBURY â A number of Newtown Middle School students participated recently in the 2008 Western Region Middle School Festival Concert, which took place at Western Connecticut State Universityâs Ives Concert Hall. Sponsored by the Connecticut Music Educatorâs Association (CMEA), this musical performance featured some of the areaâs best young musicians.

NMS students in the Festival Jazz Band were Andrew Jenson, Patrick Milano, Liam Reynolds, and Laurel Speed.

Students in the Festival Concert Band were Daniel Capoziello, Corey Hilton, and Liv Rowley.

Participating in the chorus were Melissa Buccino, Mikaela Kemsley, and Emily Malloy.

Other NMS students participated in the 34th Annual Fairfield County String Festival, also at WestConn. They included Rod Daigle, Julie Ficks, Austin Hubbert, Alex Lampel, Leah Pinckney, and Brenna Whitton.

Also, special recognition was given to Liam Reynolds, who was one of only two students chosen from the festival to receive a full tuition scholarship to WestConnâs summer music camp.

Some facts to consider. A total of 40,00 trips a day take place on Rt 25, The Castle Hill project will add less than 1%. Cluster homes are already an approved concept for the Borough, because it preserves open land and builds homes with sewer and public water. I'm Suggesting the Zoning Board should approve this because its a proposal that meets conservation goals and "checks" all the boxes.

A Development Must Be A Good Fit

Head on a swivel at all times - especially in grocery parking lots! Keep an eye out for folks turning at the flagpole - it befuddles them at times.

Please Drive Safe In 2025

How do you propose tapping the brakes, Dave? 8-30g already trumps any local regulations- you don't have a brake pedal to push. Brookfield, Trumbull and now Ridgefield have a clear case for a moratorium based on the development (thanks to 8-30g) that has already occurred. I don't see a clear case for Newtown to request a moratorium... yet.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

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.

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.
