Following a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers are very proud to announce the planned return of a Newtown United Methodist Church Spaghetti Supper.

Long known for its monthly dinner events, NUMC will host its first sit-down dinner on Saturday, May 20, from 4 to 7 pm. Dinner will be served in the church hall, 92 Church Hill Road.

Reservations are due all, whether they are planning to join in person or to curbside takeout, so that organizers know how much food to prepare. In-person dining will be ongoing. Reservations are not timed seatings.

The menu will include garden salad, fruit salad, spaghetti or zoodles, choice of sauce (marinara, meat, spicy), garlic bread, and dessert.

Cost is $16 adults, $15 age 62 and older, $8 ages 12 and under.

Gluten-free meals are available for an additional $1.

Meatballs and/or sausage can be added to any meal for $1 each (per meatball or link).

Reservations are due by May 15, and should be called in to 203-217-9732. Messages left on voicemail will be returned.

Candice Rothe and Karan Goodhue are among those working to make sure the returning in-person spaghetti dinner at Newtown United Methodist Church is a great success. Don’t miss out on the fun, though: reservations are due May 15. —Bee Photo, Hicks

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
