Led by Phil Makris, who scored a hat trick and had two assists, logging his 100th career point in the process, the Newtown-New Fairfield high school co-op hockey team shut out the Joel Barlow-Weston-Abbott Tech team 6-0 at Danbury Ice Arena, March 20, in a win to begin the playoffs.

The Newtown-New Fairfield team, seeded third in the Southern Connecticut/South-West Conference Division III tournament, defeated the sixth-seeded Barlow squad for the third time this winter, most recently in the quarterfinals of the tourney.

Makris opened the scoring with a shorthanded tally, assisted by Gio Cucco and Ronan McAllister, and added an unassisted net-finder as well as one set up by McAllister.

Senior defenseman Eli Kirby notched his first goal of the season, assisted by Makris. James Celentano had an unassisted tally, and Tyler DiMartino was set up by Makris for a goal.

Goaltender Markus Paltauf stopped all 30 shots he faced; Newtown-New Fairfield logged 17 shots on goal.

With the triumph, the Nighthawks advanced to face second-seeded Milford in the semifinals on Thursday, March 25 for a right to play in the Saturday, March 27, championship game. The semifinal game will take place at Milford Ice Pavilion at 8 pm.

Milford defeated Newtown-New Fairfield 3-1 early this season.

An election day of reckoning is coming for Mitch and Tony. Their biggest failure has been to allow the electric companies in the state to make CT one of the highest cost states in the country. Milk going up by $1 is one thing but having our electric bills go up by almost 100% and hundreds of dollars every single month is another.

Please explain why they would walk over the USA if Kamala was to win? Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin, Xi, and Jung Un and invite them for golf and cocktails at Mar-a-lago. Not at all scary.

Politics And Morality

"The elector’s oath was administered to 61 new voters and one additional name was restored to the list at the meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk held in Edmond Town Hall last Saturday. This compares with 87 persons who were made voters in their corresponding meeting last year." Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing that.

The Way We Were

As someone who survived a near death suicide attempt I know how important having support outlets are. People don't always give indications that they are going to do something so it's important to look for hidden signs. Like spending alot of time with themselves, not being very verbal in social situations, and seeming detached. When I went through it looking back, I did display these behaviors but gave no indication that I was going to go through with it. At the time I felt I had no one who understood me. Letting people know they are loved, you understand and there's always a chance at a better tomorrow makes all the difference. Lynn T.

Suicide Is Not The Answer

I remember spending time with the Sandones when I was in Newtown high school with "Patty". She was my friend at the time. They were all so nice to me and I had a great time at their home in Sandy Hook. I remember Mathew being a sweet fun loving boy. I hope they are all doing well and I always will fondly remember the time I spent with all of their family. Lynn T.
