New Street Signs Coming
|
Have you noticed? The Town is gradually replacing its street name signs to meet modern standards. Many have already been changed, and this batch, created by the Highway Department’s sign-maker, was photographed in November stored neatly next to the Highway Garage on Ffyler Place. They are to be installed when time and conditions permit.

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.
