Jay Noe from our local helpful hardware store, Eastford Building Supply, e- mailed me about another solution to control mold. It is called Concrobium. Jay has used it at his old house and was happy with the results. Concrobium creates a sort of invisible antimicrobial shield that prevents new mold growth. It does not contain bleach, ammonia or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Instead it has inorganic salt/polymer solution. Concrobium doesn’t smell, but it does help eliminate musty orders associated with mildew.

ATTENTION WOODSTOCK RESIDENTS

This November’s election to the Board of Finance is one of the most important elections to happen in a long time. It represents a continuation of attacks on town government and education by a vocal minority in town who are trying to directly control your tax dollars and town resources. We are lucky to have several candidates who advocate for disciplined spending rather than foolish frugality. They will bring a responsible approach to the town’s services and are able to weigh the competing needs of fiscal restraint with our citizens’ need for basic services. Fire protection, education, highway maintenance and town services are required and need to be balanced against economic realities.

The candidates who can best fulfill this need are:

George McCoy (R) Dick Cass (D) Mike Dougherty (R) (alternate)

Running against them are several candidates who have long attacked the town with an “all about me” mentality. They have cost the tax payers thousands of dollars pursuing their own agendas while crying for less government spending. This group: Dave Richardson (I), Craig Powers (D) (alternate) and Margret Wholean (D) (alternate) all signed a petition in an unsuccessful bid to unseat the duly elected board of education earlier this year which cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars in an expensive referendum vote. Mr. Richardson filed paperwork expressing his intention to sue the town. Mr. Richardson has also attacked our duly elected Board of Finance in its application of the Proposition 46 spending control ordinance, and has demanded its reinterpretation without benefit of a town-wide referendum. Mr. Powers has pursued a lengthy and unsuccessful lawsuit against the town. While serving in the office of First Selectman Ms. Wholean gave herself raises totaling 13.3 % over two budgeting seasons. This is not a group that is interested in prudent spending of our taxes. When it comes to their own personal agendas they are more than willing to gut all other services.

George McCoy, Dick Cass and Mike Dougherty are the candidates who can evaluate town spending without giving special treatment to their own personal agendas. They are the candidates who will accept our Board of Finance’s longstanding application of proposition 46. George McCoy, Dick Cass and Mike Dougherty will protect the interest of all stake- holders: fire protection, education, town services and the taxpayer. Vote for George McCoy, Dick Cass and Mike Dougherty for a POUND-WISE board of finance.

Automotive Perfection Has a Name: Audi R8 V10

TWO-SEAT, MID-ENGINE SPORTS CAR DELIVERS OUTSTANDING STYLING AND BLISTERING SPEED

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

As an auto writer with more than eight years experience of more than 400 reviews, there is a certain disconnect when it comes to anything on four wheels. It’s the rare car that will stop me in my tracks and make me turn my head. The Audi R8 is one such beast. Two years ago I’m walking down Las Ramblas in Barcelona with my brother when I stop dead in my tracks. An Audi R8 has just rolled past us in the early evening traffic. I become an instant automotive tourist and point. One month later I have the opportunity to drive a model at The Pocono Raceway. Fast forward to 2008 and I get to spend the day with one (as well as an S5 and A5 outside Washington, D.C.). Yet somehow I’m not able to con- jure a reason for having one in my driveway for an extended period. I’m an automotive writer with no delusions of grandeur. The big boys swim with Audi R8s.

A stripped down R8 with a 4.2-liter V8 can be yours starting at $114,000. I’ve driven one and have no com- plaints. The one I crave, though, would be the V10. It starts at $146,000. Throw in a few extras like carbon inserts and special leather packages and the price jumps to $163,000.
