The Newtown Rotary Club will hold its annual Jim Osborne Memorial Golf Classic on September 13 at Tashua Knolls Golf Club in Trumbull.

âThis is the Rotary Clubâs major fundraising event each year,â club President Carrie Swan said. âOur primary focus in running this golfing event is to support many of the nonprofit organizations in Newtown that do so much for those who are less fortunate. Plus itâs just great fun!â

The Golf Classic includes the round of golf, lunch and dinner, followed by an auction and raffle. The cost is $165 per person ($175 after August 15).

âThere are still openings for foursomes and tee sponsors,â Golf Classic Chairman Gary Steele said.

Anyone who would like information may call Steele at 203-364-7783 or visit our website at www.newtownctrotary.org.

The Newtown Rotary Club comprises men and women who are in business and professions in the local community. Their efforts and belief in the concept of âService Above Selfâ provide support for many organizations and individuals. Newtown Rotary meets every Monday at 6 pm at The Inn at Newtown. Call Carrie Swan at 203-426-1230 or visit the clubâs website.

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.
