A new addition to the Timeless Newtown: Embracing Every Generation series, John Boccuzzi Jr will present “Silver Linings: Transforming Challenges into Opportunities” on Thursday, June 5.
All are invited to join American Legion Post 202 members when they present their annual Memorial Day Weekend observance at the Liberty and Peace Monument.
Special events for the period of May 21-September 18, 2025, tied in to the “Timeless Newtown” series being presented by C.H. Booth Library, Commission on Aging, and Friends of Newtown Seniors.
State Representatives Mitch Bolinsky and Martin Foncello, in cooperation with Troop 270 of the Boy Scouts of America and the VFW Post 308 in Newtown, are encouraging Newtown residents to dispose of their worn American flags in a dignified and respectful way ahead of Flag Day.
Next week's meeting of the Genealogy Club of Newtown will feature a program by Nick Sheedy, who has been the lead genealogist on the PBS program "Finding Your Roots" with Henry Louis Gates Jr for the last five seasons.
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. It’s a surprise to see someone I’ve known as long as Peter start putting party affiliation ahead of the initiatives that matter to us here at home. 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.
