Workers shingle the new Lighthouse School building on Rugged Road.

NEW LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL BUILDING NEARLY COMPLETE The Nantucket Lighthouse School's new facility at One Rugged Road is nearing completion. The final months of construction have been made possible by donations of materials and time from island businesses and Lighthouse School parents. The school's summer fundraiser, Casino Royale aboard the historic Nantucket Lightship, will support the final stage of construction.

The final months of the construction effort have been supported by donations of materials and labor from island businesses that include donated items such as concrete, interior doors, wiring and labor.

Lighthouse School families include contractors and tradesmen who have donated nights and weekends to the construction effort. The parent council organized weekly cleanings of the construction site, while the building committee has organized and implemented donations of in-kind labor, estimated to have saved roughly $250,000 in construction costs. Donated labor has included digging trenches for radiant heat, installation of cork flooring, cubbies and cabinetry, priming and painting interior walls and trim, and hanging doors in an effort to ready the building for the first day of school in September.

TRANSPORTING TOOLAN It cost nearly $43,000 to transport Thomas Toolan III from Bourne to Nantucket during his three-week trial.

According to a story that appeared on capecodonline, wages for the Barnstable sheriff's deputies who transported Toolan came to about $22,670, and will be paid by the Nantucket County Sheriff; Island Airlines billed Bretschneider's office $13,633 for the cost of transporting Toolan on a chartered plane every day; about $440 was needed to bring a Barnstable county cruiser to Nantucket on the Steamship Authority at the beginning of the trial and send it back at the end; lunch every day for six men - Bretschneider, four Barnstable personnel and the one Nantucket captain - cost an estimated $1,200.
