Nicole Michelle Hemmett, the daughter of Paula and the late Westbrook Hemmett of St Johnsbury, Vt., and Lt (jg) Eriks Martins Griffiths, the son of Geoffrey and Mara Griffiths of Newtown, were united in marriage on June 10 at the Fox Hall Inn overlooking Lake Willoughby in Vermont.

Nicole was given in marriage by her mother, Paula. She and Eriks were married by her fatherâs close friend, Pastor Thomas VanDerMeid, who with his family also sang during the wedding.

The couple was attended by the following people: Johnna Hall, maid of honor and longtime friend of the bride; Heidi Hemmett and Melissa Hemmett, bridesmaids and sisters of the bride; Annele and Zile Jones, flower girls and cousins of the groom; Matthew Stewart, best man and friend of the groom; Erik Hemmett, usher and brother of the bride; Karlis Griffiths, usher and brother of the groom; Peter Griffiths, junior usher and brother of the groom; and Jaden Strader, ring bearer and cousin of the bride.

Grandparents in attendance were Richard and Joyce Amell, Mrs Gordon Hemmett, Mrs Aina Priedite, and Mrs Doreen Griffiths.

Nicole is a 1996 graduate of St Johnsbury Academy and a 2000 graduate of Skidmore College where she earned her degrees in psychology and elementary education.

Eriks is a 1994 graduate of Newtown High School and a 1998 graduate of the US Naval Academy where he earned his degree in electrical engineering.

Following a honeymoon on the island of Molokai, the couple now lives on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, where Eriks is an officer on the submarine USS Columbia (SSN-771), and Nicole is a teacher at Kaimilioa Elementary School.

The Way We Were

Head on a swivel at all times - especially in grocery parking lots! Keep an eye out for folks turning at the flagpole - it befuddles them at times.

Please Drive Safe In 2025

How do you propose tapping the brakes, Dave? 8-30g already trumps any local regulations- you don't have a brake pedal to push. Brookfield, Trumbull and now Ridgefield have a clear case for a moratorium based on the development (thanks to 8-30g) that has already occurred. I don't see a clear case for Newtown to request a moratorium... yet.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

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.

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.

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.
