Oenoke Ridge Road Home Sells for 3.5 Million

“Phewwww! I can sleep again knowing that the million dollar homes prevail in Fairfield County and the housing market is rebounding albeit at least for the summer months. Let's see what the Fall and Spring bring in post elections. I won't hold my breath until the fat lady sings.” —

Sassafras Diner Damaged By Fire [Update]

“My daughter and I first went to the restaurant 13 years ago while Toll Bros was building our home. As native New Yorkers, we thought it was hysterical how small the place was and that it closed at 4pm on Sundays. I grew to love this diner, with the friendly waitresses, the good food, and the best coconut ice cream. Come back soon.” —

Its important the people learn how to treat our flag, many of our veterans have made the ultimateRead More sacrifice for our country and flag. Don't leave it out all night long, don't drag it on the ground while putting it up etc.

Oh dont you worry, were gonna vote, but not going to vote to increase taxes thats for sure. Do withRead More what you have.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.

The board of education's policy should pertain to all employees of the Brookfield Board ofRead More Education.
Steven DeVaux May 17, 2013 at 05:22 pm
The short answer is because they want to. If you spent twice at much they still would. EducationRead More personnel need to be monitored on social media like Patch.

I will lend a hand by voting yes for the school budget this Tuesday, May 21st. Teachers should notRead More have to pay out of pocket for school supplies.
