New Chief Operator at WPCA
|
We welcome Suffield’s new WPCA Chief Operator, Alex Kaminski. Mr. Kaminski was the Assistant Superintendent at the Farmington WPCA. He comes to our town with 12 years of experience and Class I, II, and IV certifications. This amiable young man works closely with Jamie Kreller, the WPCA Superintendent. When asked to discuss the differences in their roles, Mr. Kaminski stated that Mr. Kreller is the Administrator of the WPCA and thus he must make sure the sewer laws and ordinance for all buildings, compliance with sewer contractual expectations, safety programs, and staffing are in place.

A Call to Reconcile a Valuable Town Asset
|
Democracy is so highly prized in our society; it is the very fabric of our collective consciousness. Our handheld devices alight with global breakdowns, gridlock, and civil rights strife. If a threat to the democratic process occurs here in Suffield, it becomes pertinent to address it locally. This account was precipitated by questionable official actions made. It has hindered and thrown into confusion, affecting a binding resolution passed by voters in 2015.

Suffield Winter Farmer’s Market
|
The Suffield Winter Farmers Market’s last event for the season will be February 8 and we are teaming up again with the Agriscience program.
This Winter Market will be held indoors at the Large Animal Facility (LAF) in the northeast corner of the high school parking lot (behind the green house) at 1060 Sheldon Street in West Suffield. This means shoppers and vendors can do business in a great area with easy access and parking. Check out our Facebook page – Suffield Farmers Market for a list of vendors and more details. Market hours are from 10 a.m. to 1p.m. Let us use local vegetables, fruit, eggs, honey, baked goods, jams, herbs, plants and craft items during the winter months, buying local and supporting our farmers and Agriscience students. For more information on the Suffield Winter Farmer’s Market, please contact Ellie Binns @ Suffield Zoning and Planning or ebinns@suffieldct.gov. You can also visit our website www.suffieldfarmermarket.com or call at 860-668-3848.
