Newtown Forest Association (NFA) hosted an Invasive Plants Task Force gathering at Holcombe Memorial Trail (Red Barn Property), 55 Great Hill Road, on April 9.
Neighbors on both sides of Diana and Steve Paproski at Castle Hill Farm have planted Ukraine flags and similar shows of support in their yards for the Newtown family with generations of relatives in Ukraine.
Jeff, look no further than our own first selectman. “Brews with Bruce” at the Senior Center is included with membership, but according to the Bee’s own reporting, everyone else must purchase a day pass to attend.

What I will always remember about Mitch is he is the only politician in Newtown that I saw coming to and standing up against the proposed Truck Depot at Exit 9.

Now imagine a Truck Depot in town on top of it. Thanks Mitch for standing with the Newtown residents to stop that insanity
