SOUTH WINDSOR â It took the Newtown High School volleyball team three years to return to the CIAC Class L state tournament and â on Monday in South Windsor â the Nighthawks made it clear they werenât about to waste it.

The 24th-ranked âHawks upset 9th-ranked South Windsor, 3-1, in the qualifying round of the state tournament and â in an interesting twist of fate â earned a trip to Masuk to face the 8th-ranked Pantherettes on Thursday (after press time).

For those who have short memories, Newtown defeated Masuk, 3-1, on October 27 in the most thrilling match of the entire 2001 season â right there in the quarterfinals of the South-West Conference tournament.

In the tough win over South Windsor (15-9, 16-14, 14-16, 15-1) Kate Anderheggen had 12 kills and five blocks to lead the âHawks. Ally Gellert added nine kills and six aces while Anne Schneider had 25 assists and six digs.

South Windsor finished the regular season 15-3.

As did Masuk.

And in the space of eight days, the âHawks (9-8 during the regular season, 11-9 overall) beat them both. But to repeat the feat, the âHawks will have to turn in the same (near epic) performance they did against Masuk when players like Stephanie Logan had 13 kills and six blocks and Caitlyn Elf had 13 kills and 16 assists.

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.

Calls For Flashing Pedestrian Lights In Sandy Hook

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.
