KENT â Harwinton artist John Swatsleyâs solo show entitled âEuropean Holidayâ will be on view at The Gallery at Kent Art Association from September 14 to October 15.Â The show is a result of the artist being awarded the Dines Carlsen Medal of Merit for Best in Show at an earlier competition.

Mr Swatsleyâs paintings capture the spirit of a trip through the streets of Paris, the Italian and French Riviera, and villages in Spain. Painting out of his studio in Harwinton, Mr Swatsley created works based on scenes discovered on his European travels.

The public is invited to meet the artist at the gallery during a pair of receptions scheduled for âEuropean Holiday.â The first will be Friday, September 15, from 5 to 7 pm, and the second will be Saturday, September 16, from 1 to 5 pm.

Regular gallery hours are Thursday through Sunday, 1 to 5 pm. The gallery is at 21 South Main Street. For information, call 860-927-3989 or visit KentArt.org.

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!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

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).
