Newtown High School's boys' volleyball team followed up a 3-0 loss at Shelton on April 10 and 3-1 home setback to Stamford the next day with a 3-0 victory over visiting New Milford on April 13 to even its record to 2-2 this spring.

In the win over New Milford, set scores were 25-10, 25-19, 25-11. Noel McLeod registered 16 kills, six aces, and eight digs to lead the way. Ethan Kirk had six kills and three digs, Sam Irving collected 17 digs, Ian Akbas logged six digs, Aaden Calle and Trenton Story both had four digs, and Talmaje Bacon recorded two aces and three digs.

The Nighthawks, following Wednesday's visit to Joel Barlow of Redding, will host Danbury Monday, April 20 at 4 pm.

So your counterpoint is that The Bee prints the same number of pages regardless of how much content appears in it. If that is true, then I stand corrected. I actually doubt that is the case.

Thank you for continuing to read my letters and bringing attention to them. As I said the last time you went through this tortured calculation, the Bee would be printing the same number of pages with or without my contributions. Why not spend your time writing a letter to the editor trumpeting all the great triumphs you think Trump has accomplished?

The Bee publishes about 3,800(1) copies each week. This is now the 24th installment of “Trump’s Triumphs,” and these pieces generally run about 9 to 11 column inches each. Given the Bee’s broadsheet page size of 16.75" by 22.75" — or roughly 136 column inches per full page — that means this series has consumed the equivalent of about 6,700 full broadsheet pages over 24 installments, or roughly 0.42 acres of paper surface. If those pages were laid down end to end, sheet by sheet, they would stretch from the flagpole all the way to the transfer station — about 2.4 miles. On the theme of Earth Day, it is worth remembering that at some point, it stops being civic discourse and starts looking like a remarkable waste of paper. Source figures: 3,800 copies per week, approximately 10 column inches per installment, 136 column inches per full page, 7.35% of a page per installment, across 24 installments.

I strongly urge the Board of Selectmen to reject this proposal.

Excellent forum hosted by these young college students. They posed difficult but very important questions, especially about the increasing costs of living in Newtown; what qualifications and qualities Brandon Moore, the candidate for CT State Representative that appeared for the forum, brings; the candidate's ability to lead; and the ability to make difficult choices. Brandon Moore was impressive. He was on point and focused on improving the quality of life of Newtown residents. My husband and I were huge opponents to his candidacy, believing some of the things that have turned out to be untrue, but thankfully we asked a lot of questions and observed a lot behind the scenes, and Brandon Moore is a solid, knowledgeable, honest and strong candidate.
