Adopt A Dog From The Pound

The following dogs and cat are among those available for adoption from the Newtown pound, which is located at the end of Ethan Allen Road (behind the transfer station):

LUCKY is a male Akita mix around 5 years old. Mostly black with a nice white chest and paws, this very handsome boy weighs in at about 85 pounds. He has a strikingly intelligent face with penetrating medium amber eyes. He loves to be petted, and is good with adults and some dogs. He will need some follow-up leash training but looks to be a valuable addition to any household with people willing to spend some time with him. He is a solid and very clean dog.

MISTY is an 11 month old black and white female mutt. She weighs in at 40 pounds or so but will doubtlessly gain some more as she matures. Misty was abandoned and, when found, was very shy. Her shyness seems to translate into an apparent mistrust of humans. But she is interested in people and appears to want to be interactive with you. Misty can become a devoted companion for a good many years to come. One word of caution: because of her shyness, she must not be allowed to roam. It would be highly desirable for her new owner to have a fenced in yard where she could exercise and learn to trust her new owner.

OSCAR is a very handsome neutered, male cat. This very gentle boy has a sweet disposition, is quite laid back, and very friendly. He is grey and white and weighs in at 18 pounds or so. While he apparently hasnât missed many meals in his life he has suffered the loss of his owner (deceased) but appears ready to accept a new owner willing to show him the love and affection he had grown accustomed to. Oscar will make a wonderful companion for a good many years to come.

If you wish to adopt, please call Newtown Animal Control at 203-426-6900 or Canine Advocates at 203-426-5327.

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?
