Connecticut Public Radio will mark the Passover holiday by premiering an hour-long program called âA Taste of Passoverâ on Friday, April 14, at 8 pm. There will be a repeat airing on Saturday, April 15, at 9 pm.

âA Taste of Passoverâ celebrates the joy of Passoverâs musical heritage in a fast-paced variety show. Under the artistic direction of Hankus Netsky, the founder and director of the world-famous Klezmer Conservatory Band, the encore presentation features Theodore Bikel, David Levine, and Chasia Segal, as well as orchestral, choral, and chamber ensembles from the New England Conservatory.

Recorded live in NECâs Jordan hall, âA Taste of Passoverâ includes homespun and formal versions of music from the Passover repertoire with wittyÂ commentary written by humorist Moshe Waldoks. The program features not only beautiful and uplifting music but also favorite Passover drinking songs, zany seder songs, and delightfully entertaining segments such as instruction for cooking the perfect matzo ball.

Connecticut Public Radio can be heard at 90.5FM (WPKT), 88.5FM (WEDW), and 99.5FM (W258AC).

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Hundreds Attend ‘Rock This Democracy’ Rally

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.

Discusses Role As Registrar

While I respect the outcome of the referendum, I’m disappointed by the way this budget was presented and passed. A 6.72% tax increase and a mill rate jump to 28.78 may have been framed as “just a few dollars a day,” but for many families in town — especially those already stretched thin — those “few dollars” add up quickly. It’s frustrating to see large increases minimized in this way, and I worry that next year we’ll hear, “It’s only a little more than last year,” as if that justifies an ongoing trend of rising taxes. This year’s combined municipal and education budgets total over $141 million — that’s a significant sum.

Everything Passes: Budgets, Capital Projects Referendum Results In

All of the referendums deserve to be pasted. We have a history of deferring needed maintenance and then paying more years later. These are required to keep our town owned building and roads in working condition.
