Fine art visual artist and photographer Fred Bonilla is being represented in a solo exhibition being presented this month at Newtown Municipal Center Gallery.
Newtown Historical Society late last week announced the postponement of its special event, “Voices from the One-Room Schoolhouse: A Community Storytelling Event.”
Flagpole Photographers Camera Club will kick off this month’s programming this week with a free, hands-on presentation exploring the art of character portraiture.
Ahead of the curtain going up this weekend on its next production, Town Players of Newtown have announced host auditions for a December production of Arthur Miller’s "All My Sons."
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.
Apparently, paying taxes gets you a town government, but having a conversation with its leader requires an admission upgrade.
Unless, of course, the intent is to hear only from a preferred audience. A room full of agreeable voices may be comfortable, but a first selectman represents the entire town—including residents who might ask inconvenient questions. Public access should not come with a cover charge.
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. As bad as traffic is in Newtown now and with the constant push for housing development in Newtown, traffic has become a point a real negative for Newtown. Now imagine a Truck Depot in town on top of it. Thanks Mitch for standing with the Newtown residents to stop that insanity
