Over the last four years, I have had the honor of coaching seventeen of these senior athletes in various sports. Let me tell you fellow citizens of Bethel, they have reflected well for this town, their families and Bethel High school...not only in their athletic abilities but most of all in their determination to be leaders, helpful teammates and honorable citizens! Congratulations to all the Class of 2012! Two special "Well Done's" to Ms. Denny and Mr. Schmidt on furthering your careers in the military at the Naval Prepratory Academy and West Point, respectively. These are two great achivements and continue to shine the light of excellence exhibited by all in the Class of 2012!
Good Luck and Take Care, Coach Costanzo

Looks like Matty and Aquarion have a little pre-decision propaganda campaign going on. Shameless.
James Fiddes June 14, 2013 at 06:57 am
They can post all these cute award announcements on the fences they'll build around our reservoirRead More lands--the lands you won't be able to go into anymore once this good ol' boy sale goes through!

Let's see, the Bureau of Economic Analysis rated Connecticut's economy the worst in the nation andRead More this is the type of legislation we are to expect from and congratulate our legislators for? Nice priorities, Dave. Now that you have such a victory under your belt, what are you going to do about the economic mess we're in? http://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Connecticut-s-economy-worst-in-nation-4583083.php
Michael Shea June 8, 2013 at 07:56 am
Maybe the reason we have such economic problems is that it literally takes an act of Congress toRead More allow kids to go swim in a place where people have been swimming for 50 years. Note that the reason the beach was closed (geese) is still a problem, still causes beach closings and plane crashes, yet no one can do anything about it apparently!
Most Popular Poster June 8, 2013 at 06:05 pm
These clowns find time to pass swimming legislation, legislation restricting gun rights and accessRead More to public information....but they can't pass legislation to help our state's economy, the worst in the nation. Davey and his pals have had enough fun in Hartford. It's time for a change.
David Drazul June 7, 2013 at 09:08 am
While I agree with Mr. & Mrs. Fiddes' position, in order for Bethel to remedy the situationRead More itself means that town money will have to be spent. There is quite a vocal constituency that considers raising taxes to pay for *anything* an outrage. If that group can be swayed by this issue, then perhaps we can keep Aquarion out.
James Fiddes June 18, 2013 at 02:00 pm
If the town doesn't spend the money, the users of Aquarion water will just have to, in the form ofRead More rates that have DOUBLED already! At the meeting organized by B. Michael's group, the CEO of Aquarion admitted they expected $2 million/year profits eventually from the Bethel system. Where will this "excess" money come from? Bethel homeowners who have the misfortune to be connected to Aquarion water, that's who! It's more fair to spread the financial burden & lower the costs, and in the meanwhile protect the aquifers and people's wells. Aquarion is not the cost-free convenient savior Knickerbrocker makes them out to be.
David Drazul June 18, 2013 at 02:21 pm
I don't see any point where Knickerbocker said Aquarion was "cost-free". He did say thatRead More he, DPUC, and BOS felt that they could make the improvements at a "lower cost" than Bethel could. Since Danbury wouldn't build let Bethel build the water tank on the Eureka Lake property, they had to explore other options. If Danbury had given permission to build the water tank, this wouldn't even be an issue.
