BROOKFIELD â The Newtown Babe Ruth 9-year-old All Stars copped their second tournament championship of the summer, beating New Milford to win the Brookfield Jimmy Fund Tournament title.

The Nines had captured the Danbury Tournament title earlier in the summer.

With convincing wins over Southbury, New Milford, Bethwood, Bethel and Redding (a count of 20-3 in that one), the Nines were propelled in the quarter-finals. Joe Fedak and Michael Coates combined for a one-hitter, with 12 strikeouts, in a 3-0 win. In the semi-finals, Coates and Fedak got together again and struck out seven in leading Newtown past Danbury, 5-3. Ralph Sergiovanni and Jeff DiNicola both had two hits in the win.

In the finals, timely hits by Tyler Edwards, Kyle Kromberg, Michael Coates and Ryan Cahalane led Newtown past New Milford. Sergiovanni and Fedak nailed down the win on the mound.

The Nines finished the summer season with a 17-3 record. Sergiovanni batted .510 for the summer while George Zaruba (.470), Jeff Spencer (.400), Keith McGrath (.390), Coactes (.390) and Fedak (.380) all hit the ball well.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
