Members of the Newtown Lions Club and Newtown Hook & Ladder Fire Co #1 lowered the large summer flagÃÂ Saturday morning, November 12, while Keeper of the Flagpole Chris Gardner and Borough burgess Bill Lucas touched up the paint on the flagpole on Main Street.

Newtown Hardware purchased the new, smaller winter flag that was raised on Saturday. The Lions Club pays for the summer flag that is raised each May.

The summer flag will be delivered to the Newtown VFW Post 308 for proper disposal.

As an aging-in-place subject matter expert and former Commissioner for the State of Iowa Department on Aging, I am gratified to see the importance of classes and events for seniors. And I am even more heartened to read of the Rides Program. Both of these combat isolation, which is a downside of aging-in-place. I encourage you to help create safe and secure homes for seniors to aging via the SilverSpaces.com senior home safety assessment. It is available to anyone, anywhere on any device and is evidence-based in reducing residential injuries! Keep up the good work!

Political banana republic actions and talking points. True Americans can see the truth. But not too many of those here in Blue Bayou.

And Then There’s This…

I wish when the Hubbard Sanctuary was so generously given the land the town understood the ramifications of the impact of such a generous endowment were understood. I would never have thought it would have prevented the town from selling one small nearby lot. The CVH club already counts a day care, a real estate group, four office buildings, an environmental clean up company, and a SEWAGE treatment plant as neighbors. I think we should tear down all these properties to honor the club. As for it being a "sanctuary and not a club" I have to question why over three (3) acres of open fields and native grasses were stripped? Doesn't sound like a sanctuary to me. Don't even get me started on the clubs rating on Charity Navigator!

I have to admit this was really well said. And when you think about it how can any vote for this guy? Qstorm you should USA Today fact check this one. Although you may find it hard to fact check this on Fox News.
