The Newtown Vipers, a U11 soccer team coached by Peter DâAmico, captured the Memorial Day Tournament title at the end of May.

The weekend began with a 6-3 win over Easton/Redding on May 25. The next morning, the Vipers played to a scoreless tie with the Fairfield Barracudas.

The team then participated in the dedication ceremony at the Newtown Youth Academy for the Veteranâs Memorial Garden.

On May 27 they defeated Bethel 3-1. The championship game took place that same day and the Vipers defeated Easton/Redding again, this time by a 2-0 count.

The boys played hard and executed spectacular passing throughout the weekend. Goalies Travis Huzina and Thomas Hartley made some key saves. Forwards Bryce Bisset, AJ Friesl, Owen Sullivan, and Dylan Sock played aggressively up front, and scored multiple goals.

Defensive players Jack McDermott, Sean Arnold, Danny Schreiber, Jack Dooley, and Harvey Long combined to fend off scoring attempts by the other teams. This past weekend, the Vipers also came away with two additional victories, one against Wilton and the other against a tough Stamford team.

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.

I agree, but we need to make sure they are pedestrian activated. The ones on Glover were supposed to be by order of the Police Commission, but the ones installed by Public Works were the cheaper flashing light. A couple of extra dollars are worth the lives it can save.

We have been doing the planning work. The State of Connecticut mandates every municipality to develop an affordable housing plan under C.G.S. §8-30j by June 1, 2022, to specify how they “intend to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.” In lieu of all eighteen municipalities in the Western Connecticut Region duplicating efforts to research, document and analyze affordable housing, the Council of Governments decided to work collectively by splitting the work into two parts: Regional Toolbox Specific, Policy Driven Municipal Annexes.

Great Idea. We used a similar process when Pat Llodra wanted input on Fairfield Hills. very useful.
