Unreal Productions returns to the Booth Library this summer with the Video Special Effects Show on Thursday, July 7. Mark Koncewicz is coming back with some new material for Newtown students entering sixth grade and up. Kids are the stars in undersea adventures, skateboarding, rafting, and other videos where they will appear in full screen chasing rapids, diving deep, and other fantastic voyages.

There will be pizza (courtesy of the Fireside Inn) at 5:30 pm in the T&T CafÃ© (the first floor Board Room) followed by the show from 6 to 7. Sign up at the Main Floor Circulation Desk or call 426-4533.

The show will kick off Tweens & Teens Summer Reading at the library where all the information will be available. The Young Adult Department has many prizes from generous local merchants that will be given away in weekly raffle drawings. For every 50 pages that are read, students get one ticket in a drawing for gift certificates for prizes such as movie tickets, comic books, photography service, haircuts, manicures, and all sorts of food. Readers are eligible for only one prize per week.

Forms will be available from July 7 through August 20. Students may count all the books they read for any summer program such as school lists or the Governorâs Reading Challenge.

‘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.
