Dannis’ blog (jimdannis.blogspot.com) has been around since March, and has hundreds of archived posts, impressively polished considering the speed at which they must have been written. Dannis has been known to be at a board meeting until midnight, yet have 1,000 words summarizing the decisions online before most people are up for breakfast.
Like most bloggers, Dannis doesn’t shy from controversy, such as critical discussions of town workers’ pay and benefits that have drawn lots of angry response, and he likes injecting his opinion, such as disapproval of the Milford Cabinet newspaper’s local coverage.

WILTON – Fashion photography will come to Frye’s Measure Mill on Tuesday when the mill will serve as a backdrop for pictures for JCA Inc., a hand-knitting yarn company based in Townsend, Mass.
JCA produces and distributes fine knitting yarns under the Reynolds, Artful Yarns and Adrienne Vittadinni brands. The mill will provide the background for the spring 2007 Reynolds knitting pattern collection.
Frye’s is one of the few remaining water-powered mills in New England, dating to 1858. The mill produces and sells high-quality handmade colonial and Shaker-style wooden boxes.

The National Trust for Historical Preservation recognized Frye’s Measure Mill in 1981. Shop hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday noon-5.
