Hits Its Stride

To the Editor:

Please let me use this means to say thank you to the community for their continuing support of our ice cream shop and to Kaaren Valenta for a great story.

Our âSuggestions and Requestsâ box was well used. We are now working at near full capacity with about two dozen homemade ice cream flavors, several new Moo-Mixer combinations and milkshake flavors â many as a result of those requests â available on any given day.

Our Grand Opening was lots of fun. The winner of the âName a Flavorâ contest was Arno Sokk of Newtown. âCow Tracksâ is the name he suggested for my concoction of peanut butter based with caramel and chocolate chips. There were two winners of the âName a Calfâ contest: Jason Jager, Sandy Hook, choose âFortuneâ and Stan Slupecki, from Union, who choose âCookies and Cream.â We combined their ideas to name the calf âFortune Cookie.â The winner of the raffle for a gift basket was Margaret Cassidy.

Our next âName the Flavorâ and âName the Calfâ contests will be Saturday, August 14, 3 to 5 pm. Successful contestants win a free T-shirt.

Weâve gotten several inquiries and compliments regarding our farm sign and the labels for our store products. They were produced by A Sign Depot on Route 25; the folks there did a great job and are wonderful to work with.

Our Lost & Found section now includes several items, including a very nice baby stroller left behind on June 23, a prayer study book, and various other items.

Again, thank you for the excellent coverage.

Sincerely,

Shirley Ferris

Budget should be cut by 20%, spending $2.65 million dollars per every week forever is absolutely unsustainable ! Do everything possible to Vote No on another nonsensical attempt to increase the cost of living ! Taxpayers are honestly just renting their houses from the town, it costs me $40 every night to sleep in my own bed ! Soon it will be cheaper living in a hotel than owning a property in Newtown !

Finance Board Moves $1 Million From Education Budget

I went and complaint to Rosenthall's father that the budget was too high at $80M several years ago, now we are at almost $140M . $2.65 million per week that is ! Fairfield hills should have long been developed by investors money and bring revenue to the town. WE ARE DRIVING OURSELVES OUT OF NEWTOWN by doing this and constantly raising the cost of living. It makes zero sense, any extra budget money gets burned on stupid stuff just so they can ask for more next year. Put an END TO THIS STUPIDITY and CUT THE BUDGET 20%. Everyone will be just fine ! Kids won't get any smarter anyway. That's an honest reality !

Why You Should Not Vote For The BOE Budget

Any common sensical person can do this job at under 100k salary. Way overhyped and overpaid at over $200k annual salary. We as voters have to put an end to this. Not to mention an assistant comes along with this job paid at 190k! What is wrong with you voters?

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever vote to increase their taxes and give their money away.

Difficult To Vote For BOE Budget Without Specifics

The entire budget needs to be cut not raised. The proposed budget now would sit that we spend $2.65 million dollars every week. For population of less than 30k people it is absolutely absurd ! You cannot keep driving older folks out of town just to create a revolving door of parents who come here, educate their kids and run away ! There is no need to be paying 190K annual salary to an ASSISTANT to superintendent, not in the best interest of tax payers ! The voting turnout at 9% is ridiculous ! Lobby lawmakers to change the voting by mail, so everyone gets a ballot in the mail and at least 51% of residents vote to approve, otherwise the budget should not be approved if you don't have the majority ! Most folks don't even know when the vote is ! They have taxes bundled with mortgage and don't even know ! We are raising cost of living for everyone and it is absolutely not necessary.
