Newtown Ravens 7, Bethel 0: Kyle Wilcox set the tone early, frustrating Bethelâs hitters with a blazing fast ball on the corners of home plate. Through the first four innings, he blanked the opposition, striking out seven batters. He yielded no walks and just one hit and two hit-by-pitches. Stefan Hennessey followed with two scoreless innings, giving up just a hit and a walk, and Parker Lintz nailed down the victory with a hitless, scoreless seventh inning. Lintz also awakened the Ravensâ offense with a clutch, two-out, line-drive single to right-center to knock in Connor Blanc for the Ravensâ first run in the second inning. The Ravens picked up two more in the inning on smart base running by Ben Stoller and Lintz. Stoller dashed home when he noticed that no one covering home on a wild throw to the plate, and Lintz drew a catcherâs pick-off throw to third base that went astray into left field. Hennessey and Blanc ripped doubles to open the lead to 4-0 after three innings. The Ravens added three more runs in the fifth inning. Hennessey crushed another double to left center and scored on a line-drive single to left-center byÂ Wilcox. Stoller added an RBI single to left field. Hennessey made the gameâs defensive gem on the pitcherâs mound, snagging a hard-hit grounder up the middle.

Ravens 11, Ridgefield 4: Kyle Wilcox, Connor Blanc and Stefan Hennessey returned and made solid contributions. Ben Stoller crushed three hits and John Hampford had four strong innings of pitching. Newtown jumped out to a 2-0 first-inning lead. Cole Baldino reached on an error and stole second. Wilcox lined a hard RBI single to left center, stole second and moved to third on a sacrifice fly by Stefan Hennessey. Connor Blanc followed by slamming an RBI single. In the second inning, the Ravens added two more runs. Nicky Sajovic walked, stole second, and scored on Stollerâs. In the third inning, the Ravens tallied four more runs. Wilcox, Blanc and Stoller ripped singles, and Parker Lintz knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly. Blanc later forced in a run when he was hit by a pitch, scoring Baldino. In the sixth inning, Nicky Sajovic had an RBI grounder. He scored when Stoller clobbered a fastball down the left field line for an extra-base hit. Hampford used his tricky pitching delivery to keep Ridgefield batters off balance. He scattered six hits and struck out three batters. He was assisted by center fielder Michael Koch, who made a great running catch in right-center and threw a strike to first baseman Stoller to complete a third-inning double-play that aborted a Ridgefield rally. Baldino pitched the final two innings for the Ravens, striking out two batters.Â Â

Aspetuck 8, Newtown Pirates 7: A two-out, two-run walk-off single to deep right sank the Newtown Pirates on Saturday at Newtown Middle School Field. The Pirates had rallied to take the lead in the top of the seventh inning. They almost hung on for a win when right fielder Harry Snellback raced back and nearly caught a towering fly ball that ended the contest. The Pirates received stellar pitching performances from Ryan Daignault and Jon Hull, who combined for four scoreless innings and allowed only a single hit. Chad Magoulas had the Bucsâ only extra-base hit, while David Gerics and Sean Dardine continued to pound the ball.

Ravens 8, Pirates 1: Ravens pitchers Parker Lintz and Stefan Hennessey scattered seven hits in a stellar pitching performance. Neither pitcher allowed more than five batters to come to the plate in any inning. Lintz, a control artist, allowed just one walk and a hit-by-pitch in the first four innings, and Hennessey walked only one in three innings. The Ravens jumped ahead in the first inning when Cole Baldino smacked a long double to left center, moved to third on an error and scored on a wild pitch. Teammate Michael Koch walked, moved to third on an error and a wild pitch, and scored on a bases-loaded walk to Brandon Cooper. In the third inning, the Ravens added three more runs. Koch walked, moved to third on a single by Hennessey and came home on a double steal. Ian Kirner drilled a sharp single to right field and Hennessey scored on an error. Ben Stoller slashed an RBI single to left field to bring in Kirner. The Ravens upped the lead to 6-0 in the fourth inning. John Hampford hit a single to right center, stole second and scored on a single by Kyle Wilcox. The Ravens scored two more in the sixth inning on singles by Lintz and Stoller, an error, a walk to Cooper and an RBI grounder by James Rebman. The Pirates broke through for a run in their last at-bat. Sean Dardine singled and later scored on a Michael Lengel double. Ryan Daignault, Chad Magoulas, David Gerics and Michael Newman all had hits for the Pirates.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

It’s important to clarify the tone and context of Derek Pisani’s remarks, particularly the satirical line about suing Newtown for "Gross Stupidity." This was clearly a tongue-in-cheek jab at the exhausting culture of legal threats that’s become a staple on the local Facebook Group forums. It was a reflection of frustration over endless regulatory hurdles and obstructionism, and the desire to avoid common sense solutions not an insult aimed at residents. Satire, is meant to provoke thought and highlight the absurdities. If we are unable to distinguish between satire and literal threats, perhaps the comment hit closer to the truth than we’d like to admit. Rather than focusing on Pisanis style, we should be discussing the substance of what he’s pointing out: that Newtown’s progress is being routinely blocked by a small but vocal contingent who seem intent on saying “no” at every turn. They are saying no to any development, no to common sense solutions to crowd control, etc. Newtown deserves leaders who are willing to call things as they see them, even if their language ruffles feathers. That doesn’t mean they lack respect for constituents—it means they care enough to challenge the Mob and push for solutions. Isn't that what we elect people to do? I applaud Pisani's dedication, he certainly has earned my vote. Regardless, let’s not reduce conversation to tone-policing and outrage. Let’s focus on the issues that matter.

Who is Calling Newtowners Stupid?

Thank you for pointing out the trail access provisions included in the BOS motion—it’s an important clarification that deserves more attention in this conversation. If the development is, in fact, required to provide permanent free public access and commit to ongoing maintenance of this section of the Rochambeau Trail, that is a remarkably beneficial outcome for the town. oIt’s not every day that a private project shoulders the long-term burden of preserving and caring for a public historical corridor at no taxpayer cost—especially one that previously had no formal access, upkeep, or visibility. Let’s be honest: the idea that the only way to protect history is by preventing any development nearby is a rigid and unworkable standard. What’s being proposed here appears to strike a rare balance—historic preservation, public access, and smart development all rolled into one. That’s not a loss its a win. So rather than allowing a handful of voices to derail progress under the banner of “historic purity,” maybe it’s time to acknowledge the reality: this trail is better off with structured stewardship and visibility than remaining an overgrown ghost on old maps. Let’s move forward. Bring in the easement, bring in the public access—and yes, bring in the bulldozers!!! Progress and preservation can coexist. Let’s not let the NIMBY use fear or nostalgia keep us stuck in the past.

Discusses Rochambeau Trail And 6 Commerce Road

I've heard that several people are under the impression that the public might be banned from the Rochambeau Trail. Points 2 and 3 from the BOS motion (included in full below) make it clear that public access to the trail is part of the requirements for the developer. From what I understand, it requires free public access to the trail in perpetuity. Technically, this could be argued to be a "payment-in-kind," that attempts to balance public good with overall town growth. We can argue about weather that balance is acceptable and how the trail may be affected, but with the understanding that the trail is expected to be maintained as a publicly accessible trail regardless. July 15, 2024 Board of Selectmen approved motion: Discontinuance of Reservoir Road: Selectman Cruson moved the resolution: Resolved, that the Newtown Board of Selectmen, in accordance with Section 2-115(d)(8) of the Town Charter and Conn. Gen. Stat. §13a-49, and subject to the conditions set forth below, hereby discontinues an unimproved portion of Reservoir Road described as “Portion of Reservoir Road to be Discontinued “on that certain survey map which will be recorded on the Newtown Land Records titled “Map Showing Portion of Reservoir Road to be Discontinued” dated August, 2023 and revised September 15, 2023, and certified substantially correct by Gregory Szyszowski of SLR (the “Survey Map”), said discontinuance contingent and effective only upon the completion of the following: 1. The approval of an application for the development of land in the manner described in a letter from Attorney Thomas W. Beecher to First Selectman A. Jeffrey Capeci and Members of the Board of Selectmen dated May 30, 2024, pursuant to the “Residential Open Space Development” regulations of the Borough of Newtown by the Borough of Newtown Zoning Commission, and construction of that approval project within the timeframes required for special exception approval; 2. The inclusion of the discontinued portion of the road as part of the final Declaration of Conservation Restriction; 3. The conveyance of a mutually agreeable public easement to the Town of Newtown for pedestrian, bicycling, equestrian, and all other passive recreational uses (to exclude the use of motorized vehicles except as may be necessary by the Town or its designee to effectuate the purpose of the easement), and for municipal utility purposes; Be it further resolved, that Castle Hill Real Estate Holdings, LLC., its successors and assigns, shall not use any portion of the discontinued road as a vehicular road or access way to and from any developed portions of the property. Be it further finally resolved, that should any of the foregoing contingencies not occur, then the discontinuance contemplated herein shall not become effective and this resolution will become null and void.

Is this paper road (roads that only exist on paper map but not in reality) even owned by the Town? Many roads that predate the Town's road standards are privately owned and were never accepted by the Town, such as many of the nonconforming roads around the lake communities where the property owners own right to the center line. That is something we had to deal with when working on the Roads Ordinance a few years back. We also had to deal with a private road to run the utilities to the new SHS.
