Theater Review: Town Players Production Of ‘Noises Off’ An Absolute Riot

37 Years After The Unsolved Disappearance Of Regina Brown: Lisa Peterson And ‘The Night Of The Barking Dog’

Newtown Lions Great Pootatuck River Duck Race Ticket Sales To Begin This Weekend

There is no controversy here. Aquarion posted a notice on their Facebook page, and the issue has been covered by both The Bee and The News-Times. I've also heard it discussed at several town meetings. The temporary infrastructure concerns caused by the railroad repairs should not be used as a pretext to oppose new development in our town. These are short-term challenges that are expected to be resolved before land clearing begins for the new project.

Discusses Water Crisis

Forty years ago, when I began a career in journalism in Connecticut, most towns had a reasonably well-staffed, thriving weekly newspaper. And the area had a substantial, award-winning daily paper. Newtown is fortunate to have The Bee and should not take it for granted.

Our Local Treasure: ‘The Newtown Bee’

Frank and Neil are right on. The Bee is the best way to stay connected with what's Happening in Newtown. The Bee needs your support in return. Subscribe and be informed.

Mitch, Tony and Marty, please take time to consider what is best for all your constituents, not just the Newtown mob.

In Response To “An Open Letter From Newtown’s State Delegation”

The screenshots from NAFC's private group show prominent members of the organization naming businesses that hosted certain political signs ahead of the last election as these allies self-organized to crowdsource a running list of businesses not to patronize for the sin of supporting candidates such as [gasp] our incumbent State Rep who has a great record with small business associations - claiming that makes them unsafe. The NAFC official account was involved in moderating the discussion as they banned one "problematic" member for questioning the "witch hunt." This tacit threat to the livelihoods of local business owners has a chilling effect on free speech, yet the response from the organization was to claim that anyone who saw it as bullying was "stifling such conversations." If anyone is interested these screenshots are widely available.
