To Boy Scouts

To the Editor:

Scatacook District of Connecticut Yankee Council, Boy Scouts of America includes the communities of Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, Newtown, Redding, Ridgefield, and Sherman. Currently the Webelos II Cub Scouts of these respective towns are in the process of âcrossing overâ from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.

Scatacook District congratulates these young men on their achievements in Cub Scouting and welcomes them as they continue their Scouting journey as Boy Scouts. This experience will further contribute to their values of community service, patriotism, citizenship, and doing their very best in all undertakings. The Webelos II Scouts that earned the highest rank in Cub Scouting, the Arrow of Light, are especially qualified to attain the highest rank in Boy Scouts, the Eagle Scout Award. Good luck to all of you!

Scatacook District encourages their respective towns to keep their Scouting Units informed of all volunteer service opportunities. Community service is an integral facet of the Scouting program, especially in Eagle Scout projects that often exceed 300 hours of focused labor and involve broad participation from supporting scouts, parents, and friends.

Our Boy Scout troops will soon begin their summer programs that will include, long-term camping, hiking, canoe trips, bike trips, advancement opportunities, leadership training, and additional community service projects. We wish them safe and good times as they explore and enjoy the great outdoors of our beautiful country.

Scatacook District also expresses appreciation to the organizations that sponsor our Scouting Units and to the adult leaders that make the Scouting program such a huge success in our communities and most of all for the Scouts.

Respectively submitted,

New Year’s Walk & Seed Bomb Launching Event Planned

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?
