FAITH Food Pantry hosted its monthly food drive in the parking lot of its facility, 46 Church Hill Road (behind St Rose Church), on March 5. FAITH stands for Food Assistance Immediate, Temporary, Help and supports Newtown residents in need.

Members of the Newtown Delegation — State Senator Tony Hwang and State Representatives Mitch Bolinsky and Tony Scott — joined volunteers in collecting donations from people’s vehicles. Also present collecting donations was Scott’s daughter Addison.

The food drive sought wet and dry cat and dog food, as well as donations of nonperishable foods, personal hygiene items, and cleaning supplies.

"The elector’s oath was administered to 61 new voters and one additional name was restored to the list at the meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk held in Edmond Town Hall last Saturday. This compares with 87 persons who were made voters in their corresponding meeting last year." Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing that.

The Way We Were

As someone who survived a near death suicide attempt I know how important having support outlets are. People don't always give indications that they are going to do something so it's important to look for hidden signs. Like spending alot of time with themselves, not being very verbal in social situations, and seeming detached. When I went through it looking back, I did display these behaviors but gave no indication that I was going to go through with it. At the time I felt I had no one who understood me. Letting people know they are loved, you understand and there's always a chance at a better tomorrow makes all the difference. Lynn T.

Suicide Is Not The Answer

I remember spending time with the Sandones when I was in Newtown high school with "Patty". She was my friend at the time. They were all so nice to me and I had a great time at their home in Sandy Hook. I remember Mathew being a sweet fun loving boy. I hope they are all doing well and I always will fondly remember the time I spent with all of their family. Lynn T.

A Fundamental Threat To Democracy

HB-5004 will make everyone’s energy bills go up, as well as making our state even less affordable. Maybe some people don’t care, but it is out of touch with the working and middle class.
