VERNON â With no debate, Vernon voters passed a municipal budget of nearly $1,962,032 with $1.6 million of that to be raised from taxes. The remainder is expected to be raised through revenues received by the town and nearly $37,000 carried over from the current fiscal year, which ends June 1.
The approved budget was a $68,000 increase over last yearâs budget of $1,894,285.
Most of the discussion during Sundayâs annual Town Meeting revolved around solid waste disposal and the townâs pay-as-you-throw program.
Article 13 asked voters to appropriate $108,000 for municipal refuse and town-wide recycling. The total does not include funds for state-mandated composting, for which each homeowner is responsible.
WATERLOO â More than 100 students will put their talents on display in DeKalb High Schoolâs production of âMamma Mia!â this weekend.
Staging the smash-hit Broadway musical takes 32 performers on stage, 60 students in the technical crew and an 11-member band.
âItâs way more kids than weâve ever had involved,â said director and theater instructor Jed Freels.
The show revolves around the hit songs of Swedish pop group ABBA, and DeKalbâs auditorium has never been better equipped to showcase the schoolâs vocalists.
This marks the second year for a new digital sound system purchased with a donation from The James Foundation, but the pandemic has limited chances to show it off until now.

Subscriber only A cleaner who used her role to steal medical scripts so she could feed her drug addiction says she has hit rock bottom. Dale Jessica Freeman stole medical scripts from two doctors between January and March this year. Police prosecutor Alison Johnstone said Freeman later filled out the scripts with a fake name and forged a doctor s signature to attain Panadeine Forte from a Noosa chemist on two occasions. She said that she took the pad and removed an unknown number, secreted them in her bra (and) left, she said. Freeman pleaded guilty in Noosa Magistrates Court on Tuesday to six charges including two counts of stealing, two of forgery and uttering.
