Network For Free recently launched its first Toys For Kids drive, and the resulting donations were distributed among three groups earlier this week. Group founder Scott Blanchard, to the left of the table, who is a loan officer for Mortgage Force in Newtown, celebrated the successful completion of the toy drive at his Church Hill Road office on December 14. For one month, toys were dropped off at locations in Newtown and New Fairfield. Representatives from all of those locations gathered with Mr Blanchard to see the result of the collection on Tuesday morning. With Mr Blanchard are staff members from Community Action Committee of Danbury (CACD), Bentley Dry Cleaning, Maryann Simmons Primerica, the News-Times, Newtown Youth Academy, Next Level iMedia, Nina Nails, Webster Bank, William Raveis Mortgage, and William Raveis Real Estate, all of whom received donations. Also collecting Toys For Kids but unable to attend Tuesday’s finale were Danbury Youth Services, Shaolin Services, and Villa Pasta in New Fairfield. Mr Blanchard’s family and members of Network For Free also provided donations, which were divided among CACD, Danbury Youth Services, and Newtown Youth Academy, which has volunteered to help families this season.

$A small school bus, which was carrying four passengers, and a coupe collided at about 7:06 pm on December 16 on Botsford Hill Road, on a sharp curve near the Housatonic Railroad’s rail bridge, police said. Motorist Luke Armshaw, 29, of Milford was driving a 2005 Subaru coupe westward on Botsford Hill Road, as PJ Sanfilipo, 30, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., was driving a 2005 GMC school bus eastward, police said. The bus is owned by Oakwood Friends School of Poughkeepsie. Police said that Armshaw told them that he came around a curve in the road and then skidded on some ice and sand, resulting in a head-on collision with the bus. One unidentified person, who was a passenger on the bus, was transported to Danbury Hospital for treatment, according to police. Botsford firefighters responded to the incident. Police issued Armshaw an infraction for making a restricted turn. (Hicks photo)$
