A short 2 p.m shower did not put a damper on the Suffield 350th committees’ October 11 golf fundraiser, and the brilliant sunset over the Suffield Country Club course was spectacular!

Another SHS Grad Becomes a Cop
|
For the second time this year, a Suffield High School graduate has successfully completed the 31-week certification program at the Hartford Police Academy. Kristina Miner, daughter of Don and the late Deb Miner, celebrated her new graduation along with 28 fellow graduates at an impressive ceremony October 11 in the Aetna auditorium. She will now become a probationary police officer in the West Hartford Police Department. Kate Butler, SHS 2013, completed her Hartford Police Academy program eight months ago (The Suffield Observer, April 2019), and is now a Hartford police officer. She followed an impressive family tradition of law enforcement and investigation from both her father and her mother.

Site Cleared for New Homes on East Street South
|
Site preparation is under way for a subdivision at 414 East Street South, three-quarters of a mile south of Bridge Street. The 40-acre parcel is on the east side of the highway, and about half of the land will be left undeveloped. The planned short road into the development will serve 20 new homes and the old King family home, which will be renovated. This property had been bought by Hamlet Homes from the estate of Dan King in 2017. It was considered in 2018 for an apartment development, with open space for which Mark O’Neal, the developer, described a winery and a recreation area, with a bridge over the canal to allow swimming in the Connecticut River.

Suffield Keeps Its Pipes Clean
|
By State regulation, Connecticut towns that have sanitary sewer systems must get their pipes cleaned and checked every five years. So the Suffield Water Pollution Control Authority contracts with Green Mountain Pipeline Services, a Bethel, Vt. company that specializes in servicing pipes of all kinds.

Having a “glass half full” approach to life has long been considered important for overall wellness. But evidence suggests that there may be truth in this folk wisdom.

Medicare Mail Flood
|
If your mailbox is anything like mine (and you’re at Medicare age) you are receiving a ton of solicitations telling you about the benefits of various private health insurance offerings. Some of them are for Medicare Advantage plans or Medicare Supplement plans or for Medicare Drug plans. They all want your business. You may want to throw most of it away, but there is at least one piece of mail I hope you do look at. That is the Medicare and You – 2020 handbook that comes from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
