NEW HAVEN â Fresh off his first South-West Conference championship, CJ Maurer of Newtown High School captured a fifth-place finish at the CIAC Class L state diving championships last Thursday at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven.

Maurer scored 365.25 points for his 11-dive repertoire â only 2.05 points behind Sebastian Cassetta of Staples (Westport) and 4.30 points behind Christopher Sanders of Notre Dame (West Haven). Daniel Mazzaferro of Cheshire won the state title with 443.20 points and was followed in second place by Mark Gilbert of Fitch with 412.30 points.

For Newtown, Steve Truitt scored 313.65 points to finish eighth, Bryan Lacouture scored 299.25 points to finish 10th, and Lauren Borruso scored 256.20 points to finish 17th. The fifth-place finish earned Maurer a shot at the CIAC State Open meet.

Things did not go quite as well for the Nighthawks in the swim trials held last Saturday at SCSU. Going up against some of the best swimmers in the state, the âHawks put together some great swims but no one finished in the top six to earn a trip to the finals (on Wednesday).

In the 200 medley relay, the foursome of Zack Moliver, Andrew Heller, Jake Maher and Chris Jacob went 1:47.01 to finish 10th. In the 200 freestyle, Jacob went 1:53.46 to finish 12th. In the 200 individual medley, Heller went 2:11.88 to finish 17th while Moliver went 2:12.28 to finish 20th and Maher went 2:16.25 to finish 23rd.

In the 50 freestyle, Truitt went 24.88 to finish 35th. In the 100 fly, Heller went 56.52 to finish 12th while Dave LaMarche went 1:04.44 to finish 29th. In the 100 freestyle, Jacob went 52.11 to finish 16th. And in the 200 freestyle relay, the foursome of LaMarche, Maurer, Maher and Truitt went 1:40.49 to finish 12th.

In the 100 backstroke, Moliver went 1:00.15 to finish 13th. In the 100 breaststroke, Maher went 1:07.51 to finish 13th. And in the 400 freestyle relay, the foursome of Jacob, LaMarche, Heller and Moliver went 3:34.37 to finish ninth.

Disagrees With Capeci On Administrator

Thank you Brandon for providing a realistic view of the cost of war.

Do Not Glorify Violence

Thank you for your service and thank you Brandon Moore. I come from a family of veterans that goes back decades. I am grateful for their sacrifice and have advocated for their rights, as an attorney. There is such a divide between the demands of military service and civilian everyday life that many do not appreciate. I watched my oldest brother manage the two cultures. In the current political climate, I want someone with a long track record of community advocacy that addresses the needs of the Newtown elderly, students, young families, the growing costs of everyday living expenses, gun violence, food insecurity, division amongst groups, long term strategizing for economic development and improvement of quality of life. I have lived in Newtown five years and still do not know all there is to know in order to address the needs of neighbors. Michelle has lived in Newtown for sixteen years and has a record of fighting for the needs of the entire community. At this moment in our existence that is the type of fighter that we need and that is why I am grateful for Brandon Moore's service but my family and I support Michelle Ku and hope that she will be the State Representative and that Brandon Moore will be involved in moving the needs of the Newtown community forward, with the rest of us learning the needs of the community.

I Served Under Brandon And He’s The Real Deal

In the time since this letter was written, the developer looking to redevelop this location reasonably accommodated this concern with an entrance and exit onto state rt 34, a main road. They did not get the same accommodation Toll Brothers was granted for the Simpson's condos, condos on what used to be horse pasture, and before that a Native American camp site. As for the open space concerns, this site is located adjacent to public sports fields, walking distance to Sandy Hook Center, and there is a trail head for a nice walking path in the woods and along the river directly across Oakview. Potential residents would have generous access to open space.

Accessible Housing Is Good, But Not On Ill-Equipped Oakview Road

I generally agree with Tom Johnson, re: following the rules of the road, both legal and/or commonly accepted. However, there are times, especially when the bulk of the traffic is using Main Street to bypass congestion on 84, when yielding to turning drivers at the flagpole makes the most sense. Coming home from Trumbull today, I noticed that several southbound drivers were planning to turn left onto Church Hill, and the line of cars went beyond what I could see. The northbound lane was also very busy. I admit that I may have waived my right by slowing down to create a gap for a southbound car to turn. I then moved to the staging position within the circle (small car so no disruption to northbound traffic), but the intersection was then blocked by southbound traffic turning left. Of note, that intersection can easily become gridlocked if 6-8 drivers claim right of way (3 or 4 cars in each direction).Thankfully, the third lefthand turner stayed back and waived me through. To many people, it is not clear who has right of way in such circumstances. IMO, it makes sense to ensure that traffic can travel north and south, and sometimes that means yielding the right of way. Hopefully someday the State will address the traffic issues on 84 and we will no longer have as much congestion at the flagpole.
