Long Valley Show

with 3 cuts/3 cutlines

LONG VALLEY, N.J. -- A record breaking crowd, in excess of 2,400, attended the

Long Valley Antiques Show on February 20. It was a cold and bluster day with

forecasts for snow, but that did not stop buyers from coming to this

increasingly popular one-day show in western New Jersey.

According to show managers, Don and Joyce Coffman, dealers and retail

customers alike were lined up to the highway for the 10 am opening. Sales were

heavy all day with an emphasis on country. Many exhibitors reported record

one-day sales.

Ken Silveri, Hamburg, PA, sold his glass-door corner cupboard at the opening

and his high-back dry sink at the closing of the show, with other pieces

selling in between. Kurt and Debbie Engelmann of Long Valley reported another

"great" show for them.

Ingrid Campione of Staten Island sold both of her major pieces; a step-back

cupboard in original red paint and a show-stopping pie safe in dark green

paint. First time exhibitor Dorothy Gray of Latham, NY, reported her best

one-day show ever, selling copper, brass, ceramics, Quimper and more.

The 75 dealers who came to Long Valley went home happy and are awaiting

Antiques at the Old Red Mill in Clinton, NJ, on May 23. Clinton is just 15

minutes from Long Valley and will draw a very similar crowd.

‘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.
