After winning the U11 boysâ travel league championship, The Storm ended the year by winning the Newington End OfÂ Season Soccer Tournament.

Newtown beat host Newington 5-2 in the first game. Jamie Cochrane started the festivities with a goal from well outside the box early in the game. Thomas Leuci then scored off a corner kick with a quick volley into the goal. Hayes Kelchner and Sebatian Forero made some nifty moves on their scoring runs. Nathan Augenbraun closed out the game with a blast from the top of the box. Connery Mayer and Jack Riley played overwhelming defense to frustrate Newingtonâs offense.

Goalkeeper Robert Katrinak and the Newtown D shut down the most powerful offense they would face all weekend for a 4-1 win over Middletown. Shane Gattey scored twice in the triumph. Michael Meyers drove a shot past multiple Middletown players. For a tally, and Sebastian Forero made the play of the day, heading the ball in off a corner kick. Owen Samson and Austin Engler kept the play on the Middletown side with quick passes and great runs at the goal. Sam Grossano and Forest Weatherby were tenacious, keeping the ball from the dangerous Middletown goal scorers.

In Game three, against Monroe, Newtown found itself down 2-0 early but quickly turned things around, winning 3-2. Once again Gattey sparked the team with a quick scoring run getting Newtown back in the game. Engler tied the game off a Thomas Leuci pass. Michael Meyers put Newtown in front for good late in the second half. Owen Samson put continuous pressure on Monroe with powerful runs at the goal. After letting Monroe off the hook early, Jamie Cochrane, Connery Mayer, and Forest Weatherby put the clamps down on defense.

In the final game against Bristol, Newtown was back in form with a 4-1 win to close out the tournament. Meyers started things off with a typical Meyers blast from a distance. Gattey got into the action with deft moves that led to a goal. Nathan Augenbraun and Sebastian Forero scored with the nifty flair they have had all year long. Grossano kept the offense alive with great passing and once again the defense of Riley, Cochrane, Mayer, and Weatherby, with Katrinak in goal, shut down another offense.

Yikes, talk about not doing a basic level of research. As my kids would say, "bruh, aren't you embarrassed?" James Buchanan (its not spelled Bucannan, Steve), the guy who put a black family back into slavery was -- wait for it -- A DEMOCRAT. Abraham Lincoln, the fella that ended slavery, was A REPUBLICAN. Herbert Hoover, a Republican, did not unilaterally cause the Great Depression. The stock market crashed within the FIRST year of his presidency. The imposition of his tariffs sought to help American industry, when there was little work to be had. Yes, FDR, a Democrat, led us out of the Great Depression, but with a heavy assist from the war-based economy in the run-up and through World War 2. And yes, Herbert Hoover did meet with Adolph Hitler in 1938 - A FULL 5 YEARS AFTER HE WAS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. It was done as a diplomatic courtesy on the 20th anniversary of the end of World War I. Steve, if I were you, I'd ask the Bee to pull this Letter to the Editor.

Elect Democrats

Your statement: "The EPA is now telling us there is no Climate Change", I believe is incorrect. Can you provide documentation for this? The The fact that there is climate change, I believe is a generally accepted consensus by all sides of the climate debat. What's driving this climate change and it's ultimate impact on society, is where the consensus fractures. I do appreciate your pointing out President Nixon's role in creating the EPA. Nixon is also responsible for signing into law both the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. Respectfully, James Swift

Discusses Smog

Jeff, thank you for setting the record straight and for focusing on facts over speculation. It’s clear you’re working collaboratively, in the open, and always with Newtown’s best interests at heart. As a First Selectman, you’ve shown that leadership is about results, not partisanship, political slogans, or bashing the other guy. That’s the kind of honorable, steady, experienced, and community-focused leadership this town needs — progress that actually works for everyone, not just a political agenda.

The People Of Newtown Deserve Facts, Not Speculation

Looks like someone is getting the politics 101 course and is leaning heavily on the “status quo” and “stagnation” talking points, the reality is that our current First Selectman is only completing his first term in office. Hardly the entrenched, decades-long politician Bruce suggests. In fact, in just this one term, the current selectman has delivered meaningful progress — addressing core infrastructure, keeping budgets responsible, and ensuring that Newtown remains a strong and vibrant community. That’s not “stagnation.” That’s steady, thoughtful leadership in action. If Bruce were truly ready for a challenge, he would have answered my July questions on how to would handle large-scale protests and rallies at the flagpole? Our current First Selectman put forward an option for positive change, and was met with shouting from the mob. What would Bruce do differently? And just how responsive and open to real change will he be when facing that same kind of pressure, or would it not matter when clearly Bruce wants to play the partisan line?

Hahahaha! Oh Jim, your hyperbole knows no bounds.
