Newtown High School’s girls’ swimming and diving team opened the season with a 91-60 triumph at Stratford on September 7. Newtown sealed the team win after the eighth event and exhibitioned the final three (there is no diving at Stratford). On September 11, the Nighthawks had their first home meet when Bunnell of Stratford came to town; NHS won 96-69, exhibitioning the final two events. Bunnell did not have divers, so the Nighthawk divers competed solely for postseason qualification, and four divers scored well enough to earn spots in the postseason.

First and second place results (and for the final three, exhibitioned events, first- and second-fastest times) from the win over Stratford are as follows:

200 yard medley relay: 1. Shayna Millard, Maddie Carter, Olivia Renkert, Caroline Mahoney 2:01.73; 2. Grace Bertsche, Lilly van der Kroef, Natalie Barden, Lianna Perazzo 2:10.13.

200 freestyle: 1. Payton Bradley 2:14.94; 2. Martha Seaver 2:17.37.

500 free: 1. Bertsche 6:14.11; 2. Seaver 6:22.81.

200 free relay: 1. Millard, Perazzo, Bradley, Mahoney 1:51.51.

100 backstroke: Riebe 1:11.86; Bradley 1:13.01.

100 free: 1. Millard 58.73.

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.
