East side VW shop founder Revives Beetles in yard
Howard Parrott, 48, runs the area’s only VW repair shop from his 403 W Main St yard in North Fairfield. He estimates fixing thousands of VWs since 1958, averaging five to seven cars weekly, with his wife and son helping, and claims lower labor costs than dealers. He recycles unreparable cars into dune buggy parts and plans a nearby junkyard to handle discarded bugs.

Willard Gears Up For Levy Campaign
Willard voters face two school levies on the November ballot. Acting Supt Charles Galatia says 12 citizens form six committees to publicize the measures and 128 letters went to business leaders to boost funding. The 3 mill operating levy and 1 mill five year improvement levy aim to cover rising costs, restore budget cuts, and fund building upgrades with energy efficiency as a priority.
