GLASTONBURY â After a couple of shaky performances to start the 2000 season (thanks, in part, to some roster problems), the Nighthawks â in full force â put together a pair of solid games this past week.

One was a victory.

The other was a loss.

But in both instances, the offense flexed its muscles.

Last Friday, the âHawks captured their first win of the season with a 14-5 thrashing of New Fairfield. Sean Raby nailed down five goals, Dan Maley added two, and Bryan Hamilton, Spencer DâAgostino, Matt Saunders, Peter Yemc, Matt Sullivan and Tom Ryan all added solo goals to the effort.

Raby, meanwhile, also added a pair of assists. So did Sullivan, while Yemc had one assist. Tim Hoeffel and Brad Bernstein combined for eight saves as the âHawks out-shot the Rebels, 33-21.

On Monday, while the rest of the Newtown schedule was washed out because of rain, the âHawks made the long trek to Glastonbury to take on the Tomahawks and suffered a 10-6 loss to fall to 1-3 on the season.

DâAgostino and Saunders added two goals apiece while Raby and John Conlon chipped in with one goal each. Conlon added three assists while Raby had two and DâAgostino one. Shawn Gleason and Brad Bernstein combined for 19 saves in the cage.

The âHawks will be hosting St. Josephâs of Trumbull on Saturday at 11 am and then will travel to Hand of Madison on Tuesday for a battle with the Tigers. The âHawks will return home on Thursday for a 4 pm game against the Danbury Hatters.

Town & Country Garden Club To Host Ballato On ‘Shady Characters’

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Hundreds Attend ‘Rock This Democracy’ Rally

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.
