Karma Dance Will Bring

âPeter And The Wolfâ To Life

Peter and the Wolf, a musical story by Sergei Prokofiev, will be brought to life at C.H. Booth Library on Saturday, May 14, at 2 pm.

The Karma Dance Project will offer the special performing, bringing to life the classic story of Peter and the Wolf. The performance brings together the magic of music and dance, and admission is free.

Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) was born in the village of Sontosovka in the Ukraine. He was a child prodigy, composing for piano at age five and writing opera at the age of nine.

Peter and the Wolf was written in just two weeks in April 1936 for a childrenâs theater in Moscow. Prokofiev constructed the music as a childâs introduction to the orchestra, with each character in the story represented by a different instrument or group of instruments.

The Karma Dance Project is a non-profit dance company in residence at The Graceful Planet in Sandy Hook.

The library is at 25 Main Street in Newtown.

Marty Foncello: Republican State Representative

You assumption that there have been no offers to purchase property to protect it from development of 117 luxury cluster homes is simply wrong. And so is the developer's refusal to even come to the table.

Bits And Pieces

You do realize that the town has been trying, and failing, to develop this property for more than 20 years, becuase of the multitude of environmental harm that development would cause, wasting $250k of taxpayer money in the process, don't you? Thankfully, sometimes, realities and needs come before street names. The sewage treatment plant was a need - thats not 'commerce'. Well, the aquifer under 6 Commerce, and the Class1 trout habitat next to it are needs too. If you still are stuck on the street name getting the last word, you should probably ask the State why they designated 34 acres there as open space, when they granted it to us. And if you're still hung up on it after that, let's just change the name of the access road to #6 & #8 to something more fitting....like Conservation Drive....so you can be more at ease.

Selectmen Request Economic Development Requirement For 6 Commerce Be Droppe

Since when is Economic Development narowly defined as tax revenue? You (and the leadership of the EDC) need to broaden your collective understanding of what drives local economies if you want to be successful in helping to grown the local economy. Here's a hint: Positive Cashflow. The town is no different than any business. Top line tax revenue means nothing if it doesn't exceed the costs that come with. That's why converting the last few remaining open spaces to residential housing is a losing proposition economically. CVHAS brings 10's of thousands of people to Newtown annually, who spend money at our restaurants, watering holes and other local businesses, without a signficant increase in, or dependence on, town services. Non-profits are fantastic for local economies, be they private schools, zoo's, museums, land trusts, theaters, or yes, animal sanctuaries.

Investigate Al Gore's carbon footprint, please. He laughs all the way to the bank and as he burns more dinosaurs than a small town.
