Open House & Family Day

At Sticks & Stones Farm

The public is invited to join the crew of Sticks and Stones Farm, 201 Huntingtown Road in Newtown, for an Open House & Family Day on Saturday, June 4. The event, which will offer a look at the farm, garden, and camp opportunities, will run from 10 am until 3 pm; rain date will be Sunday, June 5.

There will be activities for children and adults including tours of the farm, healthy food demos and tastings, and a mini yoga class. Visitors will be welcome to walk the labyrinth and nature trails. Live music will be performed.

âThe moss on the mountain is green and lush, the garden is planted and the labyrinth, entering its second year, looks better than ever,â said Annie Stiefel, the farmâs resident chef and wellness health coach. âThere are lots of new things planned for the summer â¦ so stop in for a visit.â

The open house will also have plenty of information about the farmâs upcoming offerings, including an array of childrenâs programs run by Justin Pegnataro, executive director of Two Coyotes Wilderness School.

Additional special events this month alone will include âA Perfect Dayâ on Saturday, June 11, which will be a 6Â½-hour special event focused on relaxing and rejuvenating; the annual HRH (Honor, Remember, Heal) Walk on Saturday, June 18, when family members and friends who have lost a loved one to an addiction join for continued healing, this year to feature a talk by Joanne Montgomery on âHealing Your Griefâ; a community drum circle, also on June 18; Natural Awakenings Connection Night, from 6 to 8 pm on Wednesday, June 22, when local holistic health practitioners will be on hand to share information while attendees also enjoy food samples and a candle-lit labyrinth walk; a stone wall working with Master Stone Mason Tim Currier on Saturday, June 25; a kombucha (fermented tea that is imbibed for medicinal purposes) making workshop on Saturday, June 25; a return of âWildmanâ Steve Brill for an ecology tour on Sunday, June 26; a âGot Kale?â cooking class on Wednesday, June 29; and a healthy potluck community supper on Thursday, June 30.

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.
