SCHOOL ADDS RIFLE TEAM . . . Despite protests the Montville (CT) Board of Education approved a new rifle team for its high school, supporting a request by school physics teacher and shooting enthusiast Stephen Rocketto to form the squad. The measure passed on a 5 to 4 vote, having failed the year before on a tie vote. While some said allowing students to use firearms sends the wrong message, Rocketto responded appropriately, saying, “They’re confusing a legitimate sport with crime.”
