Thank you for supporting our troops with this delicious taste of home! My husband is deployed in…Read More Afghanistan with his National Guard unit and I can honestly say...any act of kindness like this one is always more appreciated than people ever realize! Thank you for supporting our troops!

I have been made aware that our fire service does need a training area. what better place is there…Read More in Waterford?
Daniella Ruiz May 20, 2013 at 07:39 am
all too typical, excellent construction done by craftspeople who knew what they were doing, with the…Read More most simple and basic materials and tools available at the time. and it lasted longer than the decrepit, flat roofed, falling apart, soiled, abused, & apparently useless old Wtfd high school now being gleefully relegated to the 'Green Stream' by the soothsayers of the childrens future.
gosh, bob, what about that place, can't we get some hubub going about all that too?? (just kidding)
Some folks have some really fond memories of that old place, even if they never rated on the high end of the SAT score listings! ;-))
maybe the vast 'barny' openness would be of interest to the throngs of budding media specialists now being coddled within the new WHS. why, the very concept of stepping where the cows lived, breathed, slept, defecated and died might inspire them to drop their taxpayer supplied iPads long enough to look up at each other.

Ive been there only once and I thought it was a lot better than I personally expected it to be. It…Read More tasted great and i found it to be pretty inexpensive. You must not have been to Frogeez in the crystal mall. At Frogeez its basicly same set up but i usually pay 6-8 dollars for one cup. At cowlick's I paid 3 dollars when i actually got more than i usually do. Taking away the self serve is taking away the whole idea of the place as Laura said. The only complaint I have is that they their hours are bad. They closed at 930 on a weekend. When summer hits full blast and people are going out dairy queen will gladly be taking their customers

I've been to Cowlicks several times now and the folks there couldn't be more helpful. The price per…Read More ounce is posted quite clearly, and it's obvious that whatever kind of frozen yogurt and/or ice cream you put in your cup and how many toppings you add it going to affect the cost (some toppings weigh more than others). I feel that the cost is the same as any of the other help-yourself places. Cowlicks is a delightful place to visit and I'll be back many more times (diet be darned!). :-)
Laura Yering May 17, 2013 at 08:31 am
I couldn't agree more with Kym. Granted I have not been to Cowlicks but it sits close to home. The…Read More self serve aspect is what makes the KIDS want to come to the creamery, creating your own ice cream treat is half of the experience. The second being the relaxed environment where kids can make a mess, play outside while their parents enjoy their ice cream. Again, I have not had the opportunity to visit Cowlicks but I have heard great things. If you want to keep it within a certain price range, I would recommend asking the staff... I am sure they can give you an idea of how many toppings with equal a certain $$ amount.

Hi Naty! That would be so great! The next RTM meeting in Waterford is on June 3rd, at 7:00 p.m.…Read More The more people who show up and tell the town we want Cohanzie School to be repurposed, the better! This is politics, after all, and it is the residents showing up and telling the town this is a building we care about, this is a property we want access too. Imagine at least the 1923 section being repurposed into some department that would benefit the town. The town will demolish Cohanzie, sell the land and the bricks, and turn around in a year or two and say "We need more space! Let's build a new building!". Why should we do that when Cohanzie School is there, it can be repurposed, and it is so important for our town's history and the Cohanzie community? What if there was a park area where the basketball courts are, a path to walk around the building and down a part of the hill. Sledding could still happen, ball playing or other activities on the lower level. This retains the historic building, the architecture, the Cohanzie name, the community "presence", the hill, the ball field. It can be a place to go and relax. Even a dog park can be built on part of it! There is nothing like that in that section of town. Leary Field is remote and isolated. It is a ball field. With Cohanzie Firehouse and Lisa Dedrick Field right there, you feel the presence of community, without being isolated or unable to grab a quiet moment or more.
Come on Waterford. This building and grounds belongs to us. Let's reclaim it before it is demolished and the bricks sold.
Don't believe it cannot be repurposed. Asbestos, oil tanks, and other environmental factors are ALWAYS present in old schools, so the experts have told me. Old schools are repurposed all the time. It is a matter of convincing the town officials that this is what we WANT. Please speak up! Please SHOW UP, at the RTM meeting on June 3rd, at the Town Hall at 7:00 p.m. They are waiting to see what kind of turnout we get. Ignoring one resident or twenty is easy. Ignoring 100 or 500 is hard. We can do this, if you HELP.
Naty Bush May 18, 2013 at 11:44 am
Where will the meeting take place? I might be able to go to say why it shouldn't be demolished.

Mr. Steiner wants to build 72 three story homes on 32 acres in addition to the 60 condos in the two…Read More large buildings. That is more than two individual units per acre or if you include the 60 condos - that is MORE than 4 units per acre! The area around the property for new building is zoned 3 acres per unit. The average of currently built housing abutting the property is about one acre per unit. That is not in keeping with the neighborhood character.
Daniella Ruiz May 12, 2013 at 05:36 pm
Mr Steiner may be the last hope for this decrepit place. The neighbors need to move along, or buy…Read More the place themselves. Change might help the stonewalling attitude that has become evident in nearly the entire town, revolving around exclusive entitled old farts with nothing better to do than remember their glory days of Seaside. Its gone, & it's not going to revert back to a pasture either. (too many complaints about that cow smell and so forth). My advice is to listen carefully and try to work something out, get over your own selfish grandious dreams of Pelham Manor style estates and do SOMETHING before it simply falls apart like Norwich Hospital, the countless thread/manufacturing mills, and every other historic building that has been left to rot.

John Y has the right attitude, heave the cra.pp on the peoples lawn, and hope it doesn't lay there for days as well!

Mary May,
I don't know the legality of posting signs on telephone poles. But, take a ride around…Read More Waterford on Saturday mornings and you'll see signs on anything that is verticle. Take a ride around the same neighborhoods on Wednesday and half the signs will still be there. I wonder if the folks who have had the same yard sale sign at the corner of Great Neck and Rope Ferry Rds. for two and a half weeks wonder why cars are still stopping at their house every Saturday morning.

Your Take: Do You Think We Pay Too Much For Gas?
Gas taxes in Connecticut are slated to go up in July. Sen. Art Linares has started an online petition for people to sign if they oppose the tax hike.
