Contests
NAUGATUCK — The Naugatuck Basketball Association concluded its playoffs Tuesday night at City Hill Middle School, as McSherry Law swept Nardelli’s, 2-0, in the championship series to claim the NBA crown. The Lawmen finished a perfect, 16-0 season with a 60-37 victory. They had taken game one of the best-of-three series with the Grinder... »
BEACON FALLS — There’s no doubt Woodland is home to one of the best boys’ track and field programs in all of Class M—the Hawks are the reigning indoor and outdoor runners-up—but until February, the Black and Gold had never been the best in their own league. So the team’s recent Naugatuck Valley League... »
Without saying this man’s name, I’m willing to bet almost any Woodland student or fan (even some from Naugatuck) can guess who this guy is by a simple description: He’s a short guy with buzz-cut hair and an often-scruffy beard. He has perhaps spent more time in the building than anyone else in history,... »
NAUGATUCK — A month ago, the Board of Education was $7 million away from reconciling what will likely be a zero-percent budget increase for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. After rounds of cuts, votes to reconfigure the schools and a likely insurance switch, it is $1.7 million short. The board voted unanimously Tuesday night to... »
NAUGATUCK — The Board of Education voted, 5-3, Tuesday night to take Salem Elementary School offline and turn the building over to the borough, a move it hopes will save about $424,000. That figure takes into account a $108,000 increase in busing costs related to shifting Salem students to Central Avenue, Prospect Street and... »
PROSPECT — On yet another day when merciless rain seeped through Long River Middle School’s porous roof, the building got a reprieve that didn’t involve drip-catching buckets. Region 16 voters approved a $1.9 million replacement project, 692-157, at a referendum Tuesday. “It’s just time,” Beacon Falls Selectman Mike Krenesky said, moments after he cast... »

PROSPECT — Communications from municipal insurance brokers have generally been bad news bulletins this budget season, but Region 16 Superintendent of Schools Jim Agostine told the Board of Education last Wednesday at Long River Middle School that his latest correspondence with the district’s representative, Paul Lewis of Lindberg and Ripple, Inc., defied the trend.... »
PROSPECT — Three months after the Region 16 Teachers’ Association rejected a mediated, three-year contract with the Board of Education, an arbitration panel has upheld the agreement. The district’s interim business manager, Hugh Potter, said Region 16 learned of the arbitrator’s decision late Monday morning. The contract features a general wage freeze in year... »
NAUGATUCK — He wasn’t exactly Brad Childress waiting with bated whistle to hear whether Brett Favre would rejoin the Minnesota Vikings (still uncertain, by the way), but Naugatuck track and field coach Ralph Roper had more than a casual interest in whether Nick Moriello would run for the Greyhounds this spring. “Word has it,”... »
