So with all the rain this year, you somehow never got around to planting the garden, right? And now you’re beginning to crave cucumbers, squash, and corn on the cob, but the produce in the supermarkets looks like it has jet lag. Well, the solution to your problem is Sandy Hook — Tuesdays and Sundays.

Both farmers’ markets are up and running for the summer: the Sandy Hook Organic Farm Market is on Tuesdays behind St John’s Church, and The Village Market is on Sundays in the big parking area to the north of the Red Brick Tavern and Mocha. Both markets already have enough produce straight from the field to satisfy your summer vegetable cravings, plus vendors selling baked goods, crafts, and jewelry are there as well making the center of Sandy Hook into a kind of country fair two days a week.

Now that the sidewalk improvements along Church Hill Road in Sandy Hook Center are nearly complete, I must say the streetscape project there has really enhanced the appearance of the area. The masonry touches on the pedestrian plaza there look great.

Stan Spoonmaker called this week to let us know that The Kenny Lee Band — which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year and of which Stanley is an original member — will be headlining next weekend during Bethel’s free summer concert series. Mr Spoonmaker, who lives here in Newtown, is the band’s drummer. He will be joined by Rick Fenton, Keith Repko, John DiSilva, and Carmen Leggio for a free performance on Sunday, July 23, from 6 to 8 pm, at Bethel Municipal Center, on School Street. Bring chairs and blankets for seating; picnics are welcome. If there’s rain, the concert will still happen — it’ll just move indoors.

The Rotary Club has a new president. The outgoing president, Paul Lux, handed over the gavel to Larry Gardner, who will now preside over the impressive collection of local luminaries who make up the club. Paul didn’t go empty handed for long. The club presented him with its highest honor, the Paul Harris Award.

This year’s No. 1 Dog in Newtown is Taffy, the collie/sheltie mix owned by Lindsay Weber. The honor is really a matter of chance, since the dog that wins the town’s No. 1 dog tag is selected by the luck of the draw from all the dogs who are registered in the town clerk’s office before the end of June. You will notice that they don’t dare register cats. Every cat knows he’s No. 1, and issuing tags that suggest otherwise could get ugly.

Police Sergeant Doug Wisentaner tells me that the police department is continuing to use its radar speed trailer to good effect. The device includes a radar sensor that measures the speed of oncoming motorists and then displays that speed in tall, bright illuminated numerals to show those motorists how fast they are traveling in relation to the posted speed limit. The hope is that drivers will slow down rather than speed up when they see how fast they are going. This week the trailer was positioned along Riverside Road, near its intersection with Philo Curtis Road. Police move the trailer about, as needed, posting the device in areas with speeding problems.

Some of the ladies at the assisted living community at The Homesteads were worried that some of the babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Danbury Hospital might get a chill, so they got together and started knitting and crocheting baby blankets. Their old hands are still pretty nimble; they’ve been turning out blankets at quite a clip, warming both the infants and their own hearts.

The Charter Revision Commission gathered for its second meeting Tuesday night in the sweltering Mary Hawley Room at Edmond Town Hall. But just in case any of those in attendance were uncertain about the season, commission member Carolyn Signorelli showed up in her softball uniform, fresh from the playing field. Carolyn’s cleats allowed her to dig right in to the agenda.

Well, that’s the end of our agenda for this week, but I’ll be back next week with lots more to talk about, so be sure to…
