Thanks For So Much

Support

To the Editor:

A big thank you goes out to everyone who attended our first community Kids For A Cure family movie night last Friday evening, May 9, at Reed Intermediate School. We had a great turnout!

A big thank you goes to Reed Intermediate School and their day and nighttime custodial staff â they were very helpful and pleasant to work with. Thanks also goes to Tim McGuire, who helped get our movie set up so it would run smoothly.

Additional thanks goes to Caraluzziâs and Big Y grocery stores for their donations; without them we wouldnât have had the success we did.

A very special thank you goes to Tom Mahoney, theater manager at Edmond Town Hall, who helped provide advice and âback upâ support in case we ran out of popcorn or candy!

We hope everyone will register their children to be part of Kids For A Cure, which will take place from 3 pm to 5 pm immediately prior to Relay For Life, June 7. Elementary-aged children will walk the track as well as play educational games. We know that two-thirds of all cancer is preventable, so Kids For A Cure was organized so we could emphasize what our wonderful schools are currently teaching students in regard to eating healthy, getting enough exercise, protection from the sunâs harmful rays, and avoiding tobacco use. Please contact your childâs public elementary school for more information regarding Kids For A Cure, or contact relayforlifeofnewtown@gmail.com

Thank you Newtown for providing so much support to Relay For Life and Kids For A Cure!

‘Timeless Newtown’ Series ‘Ageism Unmasked’ Book Talks Underway; One Speaker Change Announced

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.
