📰 News we're reading

• Is your child's car seat installed correctly? National data shows nearly half are not (wtnh.com) — Families in New Milford can get their child car seats checked for free when local police host a safety clinic at Faith Church on Danbury Road on Saturday, Sept. 26. Certified technicians will help ensure seats are correctly installed and appropriate for your child's age and size, part of a statewide push to reduce preventable crash injuries.
   

• Man accused of selling crack cocaine out of Danbury condominium complex (wtnh.com) — Police say a Danbury man is accused of selling crack cocaine both from a local condo complex and from an apartment at Bostwick Arms in New Milford. After searches of the Danbury unit and the New Milford apartment, officers reported finding crack, scales and packaging materials, leading to multiple drug and registry-violation charges and a $200,000 bond.
   

• Food trucks: To be or not to be? That is the question (kentdispatch.org) — New Milford's stricter rules for food trucks are being used as a comparison point as Kent leaders debate how tightly to regulate mobile vendors, including bathroom access and where trucks can park. For New Milford residents, it's a reminder that your town's ordinance is influencing nearby communities' decisions on food truck operations, competition with restaurants, and how public events are catered.
