Kind Works Incorporated, a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring kindness, is rolling out a season full of events designed to connect the community and celebrate compassion.
Town Players of Newtown this week announced “circumstances beyond our control” have led to “the difficult decision” to delay the opening of "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Meanwhile, the local theater company is still looking toward a December production.
Newtown Forest Association, in partnership with local artist Annette Womack, has announced a call for artists for a trail exhibition being planned at Cherry Grove Preserve next year.
The 13th Newtown Arts Festival will step off with a Concert Under the Stars featuring The Zoo on Friday, September 26. Festival events will continue the next two days.
Seems like for all his education, Jim must slept through civics class when they were covering Federalism. Mitch holds state office, Michelle Ku serves in our municipal government, and the President, who is not on the ballot this cycle, heads the Executive Branch in Washington DC.
Also, Mitch was cross endorsed by the Independent Party in recognition of his bipartisan legislative success. Jim Gaston endorsed Ku’s opponent in the primary because “Newtown’s Democratic leaders trust Brandon Moore” (clever double entendre with his last name.)
Just the facts.
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.
