Organizers encourage readers to mark their calendars now for an unforgettable day of live music, community spirit, and good vibes being planned for mid-May at Fairfield Hills.
Special events of February 1-24, 2025, tied in to the “Timeless Newtown” series are being presented by C.H. Booth Library, Commission on Aging, and Friends of Newtown Seniors.
American Legion, Post 202 and Hearts of Hope-Newtown are planning a Paint With A Purpose event next week to create Hearts of Hope for military troops, military dogs, and canine handlers.
Ann (Nancy) Rhodes, NP, and Lori Candela, ME, CPRC, invite readers to join them for a conversation designed to help them navigate with clarity, purpose, and confidence, next weekend at C.H. Booth Library.
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.
