A Lewin Plumbing and Heating customer reported to police Monday that someone charged his account with the store for items he did not purchase.

A boiler ($2,148) and miscellaneous parts ($1036) were charged to his store account and sent to a home (not his) in Bridgeport, police said. He did not place either of the orders. According to employees at the Kings Highway East shop, the instructions for the order were to leave the materials outside the Bridgeport home.

This is under investigation.

A Jefferson Street resident reported to police Monday that his home had been entered sometime between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. that day.

According to the resident, someone entered the home by pushing an air conditioning unit out of a first floor window and climbing through the window, police said. Drawers appeared rummaged through and items were dumped on the floors, but nothing was reported missing.

This is under investigation.

Forgive me, I guess I don't quite see how we are 1 million over budget? What financials are youRead More referring too? The third quarter statement of account? Was last year the year the BOE returned $ to the town? Absolutely agree with you about the middle school, we need more STEM offerings. Right now high schoolers are required to show they are proficient in Microsoft Office. Many take a semester long course to help prepare for the test (seems like that time could be better spent). Other students just take the proficiency test. Seems like this can be something that can be addressed earlier than high school. Why not offer the course to 8th graders, and let them show they are proficient in Microsoft Office before they even get to high school.

It seems apparent to me as I watch children getting picked up in the morning by school buses thatRead More there is some stream lining that could be done with the school bus budget. There are at least five separate buses that pick up children in front of my hose on Jennings road each morning 4 of which are all elementary. Can all these children in a two block radius go to different schools and if they do why. all the buses are almost empty when they pick up these children. Why then potentially are we paying all this money for buses when less can be used?

For flat, easy terrain, the beach area and old post road offer the best situations. On weekendsRead More you'll find plenty of bike riders in the area so you'll have some company and there is plenty of scenery. Also, there are a couple of multi-use off-road paths located at Ash Creek (near Fairfield Metro Station) and Pine Creek.
