Newtown High Schoolâs hockey team skated to three straight wins to close out 2011. The Nighthawks, after nipping Wilton 3-2 on December 20, blanked Rockville-Manchester-Stafford 4-0 at Danbury Ice Arena on December 27, then toppled Watertown-Pomperaug 4-1 at The Arena At Harbor Yard in Bridgeport on December 31 to improve to 3-2 overall heading into Thursdayâs clash with Guilford in East Haven on Thursday (after The Bee went to press).

In the win over Rockville-Manchester-Stafford, Brett Klein and Matt Sabia both tallied a goal and an assist, and Evan Isaacs and Christian Blais also found the back of the net. Jake Solomons added an assist. Goaltender Mike Allwein kicked aside ten shots, and Patrick McLoughlin made one save in the win.

Against Watertown-Pomperaug, Parker Rodbell, Blais, Isaacs, and Solomons all scored. Sabia assisted two of the tallies, and Blais and Dan Harrison also had helpers.

The Nighthawks welcome E.O. Smith-Tolland-Windham to Danbury Ice Arena for a 3:50 pm faceoff this Saturday, January 7. Joel Barlow visits Newtown at 6:40 pm on Wednesday, January 11.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
