Movie With A Cop: ‘Grinch’ At Edmond Town Hall, November 30

Published: Nov 15, 2019 07:00 AM

Newtown Police Department will host its Second Annual Movie With A Cop on Saturday, November 30.

This year’s featured movie is The Grinch. The free event will center around a 7 pm screening at Edmond Town Hall, 45 Main Street.

The 2018 version of The Grinch is a 3D computer-animated Christmas film based on the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr Seuss. It is the third screen adaptation of the story, following the television special of 1966 starring Boris Karloff and the live-action feature-length film from 2000 starring Jim Carrey.

The 2018 film features the voices of Benedict Cumberbatch, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Cameron Seely and Angela Lansbury, and is narrated by Pharrell Williams. Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier, the feature follows the familiar story of the Grinch and his plans to ruin Whoville’s Christmas celebration by stealing the town’s gifts and decorations.

The film has a running time of 1 hour, 25 minutes and is rated PG.

The first 100 children between the ages of 8 and 14 who are registered will be provided with movie snacks and a special gift.

Parents and/or guardians may register children by contacting Officer MaryHelen McCarthy at maryhelen.mccarthy@newtown-ct.gov.

The animated 2018 film Dr Seuss’ The Grinch will be feature for the Second Annual Movie with A Cop, a free special event hosted by Newtown Police Department scheduled for November 30. —Illumination Entertainment

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
