To the Editor:

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon on April 24th, the Newtown Lacrosse Club hosted its first annual golf outing at Newtown Country Club. The fundraiser was held to raise money in an effort to provide nets at Newtown High School's Blue and Gold Stadium. These nets were a number one priority ofÃÂ Scott Bulkley, Head Coach,NHS.ÃÂ The nets are to improve and make safer the high speed balls from any potential injury to athletes or spectators alike.ÃÂ It was a highly successful and enjoyable day of golf, dinner, and silent auction.

On behalf of the Newtown Lacrosse Club it would like to thank the following local businesses for their generous donations:

Newtown Country Club for hosting the event, The Cookhouse, Healthy Pet, Bottlestop, Blue Buffalo, Ricci's Salon, Hero Barbering, Newtown Youth Academy, Koening Frameworks, Fusion 25, Café Expresso, Bagel Delight, Newtown Pizza Palace, The Foundry, Figs, Swenson Granite Works, Picture Perfect Landscaping, Stihl, Sal & Pepe Restaurant, Great Seasons Catering, Iovino Bros., Big Buddha Cigar Lounge, MistyVale Deli, Southbury Stone & Supply, Crossfit Redzone, Bill Flood Golf Pro, Ridgewood Country Club, MediSpa, Nina Nail Salon, Rings End Danbury, Designer Bodies,ÃÂ Garage Girls Fitness, RSM, Bigelow Tea,ÃÂ JBL,ÃÂ and the numerous donations made by all the families ofÃÂ the Newtown lacrosse community.

Newtown lacrosse provides a strong lacrosse presence in our youth and high school athlete student body and prides itself on giving back to the community. This year's community service project supported local, Brandon Kirch, and the troops of Kandahar Air Force Base.ÃÂ The boys filled 19 large boxes of donated supplies for the young men and women.ÃÂ Just one example of giving back.

Through the strong support and dedication by the coaches, parents, school and the local businesses of Newtown we accomplished our fundraising goals and recently installed the field nets the morning of April 30th!

Go Hawks!

Warm Regards,

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.
