Local Utility Companies Help

With Lighting Project

To the Editor:

The Newtown High School Band Parents have recently added permanent supplemental lighting to the rehearsal “field” in the high school parking lot. Use of the parking lot “field” for marching rehearsal significantly reduces the use of the already overburdened stadium field. Two local utility companies have donated manpower and equipment to the project.

I would like to thank Mr Bill Stax and his crew at CL&P for digging the holes and setting the light poles in place. I would also like to thank Mr Dave DeFriesse and his crew at Charter Communications for hanging the lighting fixtures again this year. Without the support of these two community minded companies, the cost of the lighting project would have been prohibitive.
