To the Editor:

On Saturday, October 18, the Newtown High School Band and Guard Parents Corporation hosted the 13th Annual Joseph P. Grasso Marching Band Invitational Field Show. Nine bands, including our own three-time First Place Newtown Nighthawks Marching Band and Guard, performed.

We would like to thank the invited dignitaries who participated in senior recognition and the Class Awards Ceremony; First Selectman Joe Borst, State Representative DebraLee Hovey, Superintendent of Newtown Schools Janet Robinson, Newtown High School Principal Chip Dumais, Assistant Principals Jason Hirou and John Tusch, and Director of Music Michelle Hiscavich.

A tremendous thank you to all the area businesses who took out program ads in sponsorship for our members. It is through their generous donations that our students can be enriched by participating in the musical arts programs at Newtown High School.

We would like to also thank our sponsors who donated items for our food concession at the Field Show: Jeff Hadgraft and Pepsi, Steve White and Pepperidge Farm, Chris from Botsford Drive-In, Stop & Shop, Big Y, and Caraluzziâs.

The Newtown Marching Nighthawks are currently undefeated MAC Class IV Champions and are made up of 68 musicians and 17 Color Guard from eighth through twelfth grade. With just one week left in the regular season, the group will perform their program âVirtruvian Manâ at Championships on Saturday, November 8, at Kennedy Stadium in Bridgeport.

Best of luck to you all!

Sincerely,

Graceann J. Hanulik

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.
