Despite a constant downpour, the new artificial surface provided an ideal playing surface from the first game at 9 am until the last whistle blew at 7 pm and the event was considered a resounding success by all.

The Newtown Gold team took the Senior Division (7th/8th graders) title with a 6-1 record, including wins over Amity, Redding/Easton, Ridgefield, Brookfield, and New Fairfield in the championship game. Wilton beat Northeast Lax of Fairfield for the Junior Division (5/6 graders) championship.

Newtown fielded three Senior teams and two Junior squads.

For the Senior Golds, Ben Mahony led the way with a dominating performance at the midfield position, where Kyle Vignone and Kevin OâConnell contributed key plays all day. Former Newtowner Kevin Curry came down from Massachusetts to rejoin his old teammates and provided a speedy spark with Kyle âOCâ OâConnor on the sidelines hampered by a neck injury. Andrew Hyland was brilliant in goal, supported all day by defensemen Connor McNamara and Max Nacewicz. Max Paynter, Mike Zaccaro, Tyler Reszoly and Lewis Thompson provided offensive punch on attack.

The Senior Blues also played well, with Andrew Golankiewicz, Tim Dalton, Zach Dent, Dana Hansen, and Tyler Davenport making an impact.

The Senior White team featured great play from Connor Byrne, Colby Summerlin, Will Northrop, John Johnson, and Brandon Body in goal.

Newtownâs Junior Gold team got outstanding efforts from Justin Brophy, Trey Trudell, Colin Morris, and Justin Spath. The Blue team also played well, with great all-around play from Brendan McNamara, James Marusi, Phillip Reynolds, Nick Fatse, and Evan Isaacs in goal.

The event will become a fixture in Newtown each Columbus Day Weekend.

Middle School Counseling Department Hosts Annual Career Day

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?
