Every year the end of August ushers in a flurry of activity from families getting ready for the first day of school. Vacations wind down, school clothes are purchased, and parents send their eldest to college. For the residents of Lockwood Lodge, August means beloved familiar faces will no longer be seen as many faithful volunteers graduate from high school and leave behind grateful friends made while running the coffee shop.

The Commons CafÃ© and Gift Shop is looking for volunteers to fill those morning and afternoon shifts Monday through Friday from 9 am to 11:30 pm and 3 pm to 4 pm, serving light refreshments and making sure to stock the necessities needed by residents. Lockwood Lodge is looking for a commitment of one shift a week from people who enjoy friendly conversation and want a rewarding experience.

Located on the campus of Ashlar of Newtown, Lockwood Lodge is an assisted living community offering residents the convenience of an on-site coffee and gift shop which provides everyday necessities, snacks and occasional entertainment.

For more information, contact Laura Vhay at 203-364-3127.

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
