Edmond Town Hall is turning up the volume this summer with a Taylorville Concert Ticket Giveaway to celebrate the upcoming Taylorville performance on August 21.
Organizers of “Timeless Newtown: Embracing All Generations” recently released a schedule of talks centered around chapters of "Ageism Unmasked." One update to the planned program’s hosts was announced after last week’s paper had gone to press.
Newtown residents will see at least a few familiar faces if they make time to head to Danbury for Musicals at Richter's production of "Disney's The Little Mermaid," which opens July 25.
The Newtown Bee welcomes the letters from all letter writers regardless of their political stance or how much paper and ink printing their letters uses (and by the way, your math is off). It seems to me that if the concern is a liberal writer taking space in our letters page every other week, the better way to deal with that is to write letters from a conservative mindset rather than attacking and attempting to discourage others from writing. Responses should address the points raised by the writer, not the fact that they chose to write.
24,619 printed pages have been devoted to this diatribe — more than an acre of paper. Beyond the cost to The Bee, with this installment #22 (XXII for the elites), the series has consumed roughly 400 pounds of newsprint (about 2–3 trees), a few thousand gallons of process water, and on the order of a couple hundred kilograms of CO₂e — all to keep re-litigating the same point. I guess I would have expected more out of the chair from the Sustainable Energy Commission chair.
I remember when the spirit of 'Nicer in Newtown' meant keeping national politics out of our local discourse.

Let’s get back to focusing on local solutions, not partisan politics.
A town administrator/operations manager will facilitate a more efficient management of town reseoruces and will result in cost avodiance in all departments. The position will payback much more than it costs.
