By Kendra Bobowick

In tune and in costume, the Weâve Got Talent performers are ready â or not â for their debut curtain call this weekend.

On Saturday, October 9, at 7:30 pm, at Newtown High School, more than 60 participants will take their turn onstage for Newtown Cultural Arts Commissionâs first musical variety show. This fundraising event will celebrate the talents of Newtown residents âacross the generations,â according to the arts commission website at NewtownArtsCommission.org. The night will showcase music, dance, comedy, solo performances, local celebrities, and more.

âThere is entertainment for everyone â come alone, with friends, or with your whole family,â states the website.

Commission member and show coordinator Donna Randle this week looked forward to the evening and the students and hometown celebrities involved with the show. Parents and participant Phyllis Cortese rehearsed during an October 2 event where her sonâs group, The Dylan Cortese Collaboration, performed.

Participants on Saturday evening will include Dr Richard Coopersmith; Dr Robert Golenbock; Dean Snellback, guitarist; Tim McGrath, guitarist and Newtown 12âs baseball coach; Robert Rabinowitz, flutist; Sarah Roman, violin; Susan Lang, guitarist and Newtown Middle School teacher; Martin Steinberg, magician; Kate Katcher, actress; Paige Olson, Miss CT Teen 2010; First Selectman Pat Llodra; Board of Education Chairman William Hart; and Jennifer Johnston, Newtown Cultural Arts Commission Chairman, along with dozens of additional performers.

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.
