Dr Shawn Carney of Newtown is presenting two free public health lectures on Saturday, April 28. The first, from noon to 1 pm will be at Chamomille Natural Foods, Route 6 Plaza, 58 Newtown Road in Danbury.

Entitled, âAsthma: Natural Approaches for Patients,â Dr Carney will review how a personâs quality of life can be significantly impacted when suffering from asthma.

Dr Carney, a naturopathic physician at Northeast Natural Medicine, LLC, will describe potential causes of asthma, including inflammation, food sensitivities and environmental allergens. And he will also discuss how to identify and address these problems using natural medicines, avoidance of certain substances, dietary recommendations and lifestyle approaches.

This talk has free admission, and no registration is required.

For more information, call Chamomille at 203-792-8952.

The second talk, from 2 to 3 pm, will be at Foodworks, 477 Main Street, Clock Tower Plaza, Monroe, and will cover âManaging Lyme Disease.â

There has been a dramatic increase in reported Lyme disease cases throughout Connecticut and across the entire country over the last several years. And Dr Carney plans to discuss scientific findings about Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses, the newest testing available, and the role of integrative medicine as using effective antimicrobials, and removing barriers to wellness.

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.
