Riding To Hounds In Litchfield Hills

The Woodbury Litchfield Hills Foxhounds, Inc., will hold its next guest hunt event on Sunday, October 29, at 12 noon, at Anderson Farm in Morris. Donation is $75 for adults and $50 for juniors under 18. Lunch will be provided for the riders, but guests of riders are welcome with a luncheon donation of $30.

WLHF is dedicated to preserving and enjoying its natural resources and heritage and while participating in the centuries-old country life activity of riding to hounds. Dressed in traditional formal hunting attire, WLHF will be following hounds as they chase an artificial scent over a pre-determined dragline. The line will take riders through the Litchfield Hills â picturesque meadows, brooks, woodlands and rolling farmland. Fences of posts and rails, logs, stone walls, coops and gates will be about 2-foot-6 in height (with go-arounds at every fence). Horses must be well-groomed and fit and there will be several checkpoints where horse and rider can relax. Registration and pre-payment are required one week prior to hunt meet date. Contact Harriet Serota, secretary, at 203-263-2113 (before 9 pm).

Middle School Counseling Department Hosts Annual Career Day

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.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

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.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

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.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
