REDDING â The Redding Garden Club and New Pond Farm are hosting an Open Gardens Tour on Saturday, June, 10, rain or shine, from 10 am until 4:30 pm. Friends of the Redding Garden Club and New Pond Farm are graciously opening their gardens. There will be eight gardens on the tour, all very different and inspiring. Some of the garden hosts are adding a bit of fun by setting a table for a special occasion or with a seasonal theme.

Also, a small boutique with useful things for the garden or home will be featured at the âWild Childâ garden. A door prize of a Lazy Hill birdhouse will be drawn from names of attendees, plus there will be some lovely raffle prizes on which to bid.

Tickets are on sale now, $35 for the garden tour only or $47 for the garden tour plus lunch. A map with the garden locations and parking directions will be mailed with tickets. Lunch must be ordered when tour tickets are purchased. Created by the chefs of The Station House Cafe in Redding, there will be a choice of either a garden herbed marinated grilled vegetable wrap or a garden herbed marinated chicken wrap; both served with fruit and dessert.

Guests who have ordered lunch can enjoy their meal at New Pond Farm between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. Lunch reservations are limited and must be received by June 1.

Congratulations on your nomination. In your announcement, you mentioned that Newtown faces real pressures, including “traffic patterns that make everyday life more stressful.” One growing concern for many residents and business owners is the repeated traffic disruption on Main Street caused by large-scale protests and rallies at the flagpole — held without a unified permitting process. Given that Main Street is a state road with a history of serious traffic and pedestrian safety issues, how would you, as First Selectman, approach the impact of these gatherings on traffic flow, public safety, and local businesses? I ask this with sincere interest in understanding how your commitment to “thoughtful planning” and “unity of action” would apply to this very real and recurring issue.

Democrats To Run Walczak For First Selectman

I appreciate Ryan’s thoughtful and grounded perspective on the need for a consistent, transparent, and lawful permitting process for large public events in Newtown. His approach reflects common sense within the framework of the law, balancing public safety, free expression, and fiscal responsibility—exactly what we should expect from our elected officials. In contrast, I was struck by Bruce Walczak’s comment suggesting that informal and "extensive discussion" are the preferred solutions to complex public issues. While there is certainly value in dialogue, the idea that decision-making should replace the thoughtful legislative process is troubling—especially coming from someone running for First Selectman.

Says ‘No’ Vote Sidestepped Due Diligence

I am grateful to The Democratic Town committee. I can vouch for the careful consideration they took in selecting our candidates. I appreciate their confidence in my managing skills to address the many issue facing Newtown. Ill be conducting listening tours over the next few months to gain a deeper understanding of my Newtown neighbors concerns and will be ready to address then day one.

There has been a rash of dog attacks, at least three that I know about on the sidewalks in town. Owners of pets need to be more attentive and respectful of their neighbors. Aggressive dogs need to be watched carefully to protect all. This is a serious issue and should be addresses not swept under a rug.

We Need A First Selectman Who Cares

I attended the meeting, and the results were reached after extensive discussion. Thats why its important to attend these high profile meeting, you see the facts yourself, As Alex, in the following letter, said the solution is not always more rules and legislation. Speaking to each other often solves issue a lot quicker with more flexibility.
