The Timeless Newtown series continued last week with a presentation on “Building Health Partnerships: How to Collaborate With Your Doctor for Better Care.” Attendees were also reminded of upcoming and a new addition to the series schedule.
Under clear skies and blazing sunshine, the community offered support to Families United in Newtown last weekend by patronizing a combination tag and bake sale hosted by Sentimenti.
What happens when a family must confront the realities of an aging parent and what becomes of legacy? Audiences enjoying the world premiere of Dorothy Lyman's "Upstate," currently in production at TheatreWorks New Milford, take a dramatic ride.
Newtown High School Class of 2024 graduate and gun violence prevention activist Matthew Holden will be one of three speakers during the CT Against Gun Violence "Be The Hope" benefit event next week.
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.
