Throwers lead locals at New England Open Connecticut State Open and Class L champ, and Southington senior Matt Bennett, the Class LL king. At the New England meet, both were under their top state distances. Ruggiero was 11th at 49-4 3/4 and Bennett was 19th at 46-6 3/4.

of Cheshire. Cobb was 15th in the 600 meters in 1:24.58. Skibitky placed ninth in the long jump at 16-10 1/2.

“It’s a win-win.” Hunt said if the firefighters simply gave out the detectors, some residents might not take the time to actually install them, so this approach is the best way to make sure residents are safe.

about $7,000 a month from Verizon. “It’s not open space, it’s near town-owned property and on town-owned property,” Sciota said. “We could use the money.” Sciota said he is hoping to finish the contract in the next few weeks. First, the Planning and Zoning Commission must vote on the plan. “This is a great opportunity for the town,” said councilor Dawn Miceli. Miceli asked about the aesthetics of the tower and whether it would be encased or masked. Sciota said the surrounding trees are close to 70 feet and would cover some of the tower. “We felt this is a good site,” Sciota said. Councilor Chris Palmieri asked about areas downtown for a tower that were talked about in the past. Sciota said a few sites such as the police department, fire department, and others were looked at but “didn’t work out” and Verizon Wireless chose the area on East Street.
