Wilton â On Saturday, September 27, Weir Farm National Historic Site will host a hands-on stone wall repair workshop in celebration of National Public Lands Day. Participants will begin the day at 9 am at Weir Farm National Historic Site, 735 Nod Hill Road, with a park ranger-led discussion about the significance of stone walls as landscape features at the site and in the region.

The workshop will continue with a demonstration of stone wall construction, followed by the opportunity for participants to try their own hand at wall repair. If you have always been curious to learn how the stone walls in New England were made, or wish to know more about how to care for walls on your property, this is a perfect opportunity.

Participants should bring work gloves, sturdy footwear, clothing that is appropriate for outdoor work and a brown bag lunch. Drinking water will be provided. Families are welcome. Participation is limited to 20 people.

For more information or to register for the workshop, contact Weir Farm National Historic Site at 203-544-9829, extension 11, by Friday, September 26. There is no fee to participate in the workshop.

Thank you both for running my letter and the excellent editor's note. I deeply appreciate the Bee and what it means to Newtown.

Critical Of Re-Election Announcement

Dan was a real gentleman. I had the honor of knowing him for about 10 years from high school and into early adulthood. He was always upbeat and amiable. His love of golf was boundless. I remember him droning on about the type of wedge this or that professional golfer was playing at any given time. He loved to play also. Dan made the winning putt that clinched a championship for NHS men’s golf in 1984. It was a snaking, downhill putt that few people would have had the nerve or imagination to have holed at such a critical moment. It was magic!! You are a true gem, Dan. May your eternal reward be endless days of long, straight drives and the sound of difficult putts finding the bottom of the hole.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The 1st Amendment does NOT say "except when there's a budget problem, or when some people wish things would quiet down." There is no way a proposed ordinance can be construed as other than singling out RockthisDemocracy, and also no way the town does not get expensively buried in court should it be foolish enough to go down this path.

Assembly Ordinance?

The Editor suggest a meeting between the "Rock This Democracy " and the Police Commission. As a former Police Commissioner the Chief should have followed the chain of command and discussed this with the Police Commission. The Chief reports to the Elected Police Commission not our Republican First Selection. Can't help but feel this is Republican politics again making an issue out of a non issue.
