The 15th anniversary season of Saturday Pasta Dinners continues this weekend at Newtown United Methodist Church.

The monthly events are held the first weekend of the month. The next pasta dinner is planned for June 4 in the churchâs fellowship hall. All proceeds of this dinner are used for the repayment of funds loaned for Wesley Hall.

The public is cordially invited to join church members for what has become an evening of fellowship and community spirit. Dinner is served from 5 to 7:30 pm with donation being $8 per adult, $7 for seniors, and $3.50 for children. Diner is a fruit cup, salad with choice of dressings, pasta with choice of meatless, mild or spicy sauce, garlic bread, homemade desserts, and coffee or soft drinks.

Dinner is followed at 7:45 by a performance of bluegrass music played by The Sprung & Wylie Bluegrass Band. The entertainment donation is $3 with dinner or $4 without. This covers all coffee, soft drinks, and snacks served during the evening from 7:45 to 10:30 pm.

The church is at 92 Church Hill Rd in Sandy Hook. Entry to Fellowship Hall is through the lower parking lot, behind the building. Call 426-9998 for info.

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.
