This year’s wild weather changes have offered opportunities as well as challenges, and four enthusiastic volunteers took advantage of a great Saturday, February 12.
Soon it would be too cool to pave, but the temperature in late October, 2021, provided the opportunity for one more batch of milling and repaving in a program that had gone on all summer.
Suffield’s first distribution of COVID-19 Test Kits, provided free by the State, was able to hand out only a little more than 1,000 kits, as well as twice that many N95 masks.
In an act of generous citizenship, residents of Suffield and others who heard about the plan have donated a large supply of household and personal items to help the victims of the severe wind storm and tornadoes in mid-December that devastated a large region of the South, mainly in Kentucky.
Introducing a new police chief and a new police captain at the same time is a rare occurrence, so the Suffield Police Commission held their official swearing in on Thursday evening, January 6, in the high school auditorium, allowing a bit of extra ceremony and giving the expected audience the opportunity to avoid crowding, if they wished.
