In preparation for the upcoming season, the Newtown Youth Wrestling program competed October 3 in a preseason meet at the Danbury Police Athletic League Center. Participating were wrestlers Joseph Praino, Anthony Falbo, Nick and Luca Crudo, Matt Gonzalez, Ed and Chris Lajoie, Forest Speed, Michael Garner, and Andy Hubina.

The Newtown Youth Wrestling squad competed against participants from all over Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island. The tournament is the first of five in a preseason âNutmegâ series of tournaments in which wrestlers can earn points each week to crown an overall champion in different weight and age divisions.

Now in itâs seventh season, the Newtown Youth Wrestling home is Sandy Hook Elementary School and all practices and home meets will be hosted there this season. Beginning October 18 and running until February 3, the first session will be held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 6:30-8:30 pm.Â

The team is open to students of all ability levels in kindergarten through eighth grade. The squad will compete in weekly matches in December and January against teams from Danbury, Bethel, New Milford, New Fairfield, Stamford, and Ridgefield. In addition, there are opportunities to participate in weekend tournaments throughout the region.

Registration is currently ongoing and can be done through the Newtown Parks and Recreation Department and online at the Recreation Department link at www.newtown-ct.gov.

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.
