Seasonal Glories The Focus

Of New Pond Farm Art Show

WEST REDDING â New Pond Farm, an award-winning educational center and working farm in West Redding, is showing the work of a number of regional artists, including Ruth Newquist and Marty Lamarche of Newtown, in âCelebrating the Seasons,â on display June 13-27, at the farmâs inviting new headquarters.

Many of the artists participated in New Pond Farmâs acclaimed show two years ago and have returned to the pastoral beauty of the farmâs 102-acre site. They have once more captured in all seasons the glories of New Pondâs rolling meadows, woods, wetlands and historic barns, home to gentle cattle and sheep.

Each participating artist, no matter the subject or scene, has found his or her own inspiration in the ever-changing aspects of nature.

All of the art is available for purchase, with part of the proceeds to benefit the important work of New Pond Farm in connecting people with the land.

Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm (Thursdays to 8 pm), and Sunday from noon to 5 pm.Â Admission is free.

New Pond Farm is on Marchant Road, four-tenths of a mile from the junction of Route 53 and Umpawaug Road. For more information, visit NewPondFarm.org or call 23-938-2117.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).

Beth sorry for your loss Scott always talked about how much you loved your mom ❤️ Prayers for you and your family Gauvin Family
