A Record Weekend For

Coffee Andâ¦

To the Editor,

Boy Scout Troop 370 enjoyed beautiful weather over this Memorial Day weekend while hosting their annual free Coffee Stop. In spite of high gas prices, scouts and their families served dozens of donuts and bagels, and over 2,000 cups of coffee, tea, and cold drinks to a record number of travelers.

Troop 370 hosts the coffee stop as one of their community service projects. In December the troop assists on Depot Day by unloading and reloading packages to be delivered to needy families in our local area.

Troop 370 is proud to participate in both service projects.

We especially want to acknowledge and thank the many individuals and local businesses who helped to make this coffee stop a success. With sincere gratitude the members of Troop 370 thank the following: Associated Refuse Haulers; Bagel Delight; Berkshire Veterinary Hospital; Big Y; The Blue Colony Diner; Cedar Hill Electric; Chartwells School Dining Services; the Chefâs Warehouse, Bronx, N.Y.; Costco; Connecticut State Department of Tourism; Costco; Friendly Service Station-Citgo, Newtown; Mobil Station, Newtown; Shell Station, Newtown; MSC Industrial Supply; My Place; Newtown Hardware; Newtown United Methodist Church; Mr Noie Richards; Pizza Palace; Shawâs of Southbury; Stew Leonard; Stop & Shop; Wal-Mart; The Town of Newtown; the Zoning, Conservation, Building, Health, Public Works and the Parks and Recreation Departments; Dunkinâ Donuts, Monroe; and Dunkinâ Donuts, Newtown.

Sincerely,

Donna Sapienza

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.

Ya gotta pay more to live in a Blue state and subsidize the 'affordable' folks.
