Lunch & Learn, BP Screening

At Masonicare

A move to a smaller home or retirement community appeals to many seniors. But what do you do with all that âstuffâ youâve accumulated over the years? A free Lunch and Learn Program for the community titled âDownsizing for Seniorsâ will be held Monday, September 14, at Masonicare at Newtown, 139 Toddy Hill Road. Lunch will be served at noon, and the program will begin at 12:15 pm in the Lodge Room.

Denise Gamache from Masonicare at Home will provide advice and insights to help start the daunting process of downsizing. From consigning to charitable donations, she will discuss sorting, saving, and selling strategies and options.

Masonicare at Newtown sponsors the Lunch and Learn series to provide the public with important and timely health and wellness information. Masonicare at Home, a program of Masonicare Home Health, provides homemakers and personal care assistants for those who need assistance with routine homemaking tasks.

There is no fee for the program, but seating is limited. Reservations can be made by calling the Masonicare HelpLine at 888-679-9997.

In other news, the Masonicare at Newtown Nursing Department will sponsor a free blood pressure screening Tuesday, September 15, from 10 am to noon, in the Lockwood Lodge Wellness Center at Masonicare at Newtown.

The screening will be conducted by a licensed nurse. Remember, you can have high blood pressure and still feel fine.

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.
