Sixth-seeded Berkshire Motors will face the fourth-seeded Inn at Newtown in the championship game of the menâs basketball league at the Newtown Health & Fitness Club next Thursday night.

Berkshire Motors advanced to the title game last Thursday with an exciting 75-73 overtime win over second-seeded Marcuccilli Agency. Kris Nawrocki led the way for the winners with 35 points, while Pete Antonopolis tossed in 23 and Mark Svanda scored 17.

Gary Doyon helped keep the Marcuccilli Agency close with 40 points and Bob Rogers and Kevin Carolan added 18 and 14 points, respectively.

The fourth-seeded Inn at Newtown advanced to the finals with a 56-50 win over Colonial Mitsubishi in the other semifinal. Steve Bigham led the way for the winners with 30 points, while Jim Bowers added 16. Larry Manzi was a defensive standout, coming up with several big stops late in the game.

For eighth-seeded Colonial Mitsubishi, which upset top-seeded Villa Restaurant two weeks earlier, Brian Meathe scored 26 points.

Last week, Berkshire Motors stunned third-seeded My Place Restaurant as it rallied from a nine-point deficit in the final two minutes to win 68-67. Ian Engelmanâs shot with four seconds to go rattled around the rim before finally falling for the game winner. Nawrocki led the way with 33 points. Bart Smith scored 21 points, Mike Kirk tossed in 20 and Tom Villa added 17 for My Place.

The Inn at Newtown advanced to the semis two weeks ago with a 65-44 win over World of Wine & Liquors as Jim Bowers tickled the nets for 29 points, Steve Bigham added 16 and Paul Carpenter threw in 10. Mike Storms netted 20 points in a losing effort.

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.
