The NHS Blue & Gold Booster Club along with Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor invite all Newtown residents and Newtown High School alumni to taste extraordinary red and white wines, sample fine appetizers, and support the revitalization of the NHS Blue & Gold Stadium by attending a Blue & Gold Wine Fundraiser on Saturday, November 12, from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at the Edmund Town Hall gymnasium.

The event will raise funds for the grassroots drive to make significant renovations and improvements to Newtown High Schoolâs Blue & Gold Stadium.Â These improvements, which will include the installation of durable, high-performance artificial turf as well as additional bathrooms, increased seating and equipment storage space, will benefit the high school teams and band and all of Newtownâs youth sports leagues, as well as the Relay For Life at no cost to taxpayers.

Fifty specially selected wines provided by eight Connecticut wine distributors, hors dâoeuvres prepared by NHS culinary students, and chamber music from an NHS ensemble will highlight the event, which is sponsored by Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor. Tickets purchased by November 3 are available for a tax-deductible contribution of $45/couple, $25/single.

Tickets may be purchased at Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor or the Snack Shack at NHS Stadium during upcoming events. Call 270-9112 to reserve tickets, or download a reservation form at the NHS Blue & Gold Booster website at www.nhsblueandgold.com, and return it with your donation.Â

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.
