TRUMBULL Starting at $4,000 a month, residents of the River Valley Retirement Community can enjoy things like lobster rolls, an on-site movie theater and round-the-clock service in a “cruise ship” resort-style setting.
“Have some lobster!” Carol Maddock, one of the property managers, said as she greeted visitors in the building’s main atrium that features an indoor waterfall and four fireplaces across three levels. The seafood truck in the parking lot spent eight hours on site Thursday serving up buttery lobster rolls to tenants and guests.

COLUMBUS JUNCTION Misuse of the Columbus Junction’s yard waste drop-off site could lead to restrictions at the site or criminal charges, city officials warned Wednesday during the city council’s regular meeting.
Councilman Tracy Harris raised the issue, saying he recently was notified it is impossible to even access the site because of large logs and brush apparently apparently disposed at the site by commercial tree trimmers.
“I don’t think it’s right that our city guys have to take care of somebody that is getting paid for removing a tree and dumping it off on our guys where they have to burn it and clean it up,” he said.
