At The Newtown Bee, we are working on articles every week for our readers’ education and enjoyment, and subscribers get the first — and sometimes exclusive — look at stories in print.

What’s in the works for the edition of May 21 includes a roundup of our legislators’ proposed and passed bills; Charter Review updates; coexisting with wild animals; Board of Education meeting reports; a special educational honor for a longtime resident; the St Rose car parade; the weekly COVID update; and we continue to work our way through the ABCs of Newtown — not to mention our regular offerings, area news, and breaking news. Don’t miss The Newtown Bee special webcast on our Facebook Live channel, Friday, May 21, at noon, focused on this year’s tick population and what it means for residents. Associate Editor John Voket moderates, with special guest Dr Goudarz Molaei and District Health Director Donna Culbert.

There are plenty of stories and breaking news posted to newtownbee.com, but you’ll find full coverage in our print edition. For complete news about Newtown, join our subscribers in being in the know (https://classadz.vdata.com/Legacy/NewtownBee/Circulation/Subscriber/).
