Sally Lynn MacDonald of Sandy Hook will be hosting a charity scrapbooking event on Sunday, September 19, to benefit the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. The proceeds will be donated to a Florida chapter to assist the victims of Hurricane Charley and Hurricane Frances.

The event will be held from 10 am to midnight. Participants will pay $40 to attend the scrapbooking meet, which will be held at the Scrapbook Palace, 3561 Main Street, in Stratford.

Participants are invited to come and work on their scrapbooks and other paper arts. Ms MacDonald, a former resident of Florida who witnessed firsthand the devastation of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, will be on hand to demonstrate how easy and rewarding scrapbooking can be.

After this event, she will be hosting the âPaper Arts with Heartâ series on the first Sunday of each month starting at November. Participants will pay $15 to attend each event, all of which will be held at the Scrapbook Palace. All proceeds from the event in November will be donated to Kevinâs Community Center in Newtown.

Sally Lynn MacDonald is a Close to My Heart consultant who holds Paper Arts with Heart workshops. The company is headquartered in Pleasant Grove, Utah. For information visit www.inkyheart.com or call 203-570-6444.

Half right. The other half wrong (and left).

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.
