Seniors Beware

I have received four calls regarding this scam, two in the middle of the night. They said I had won a sweepstakes and I should give them the routing number of my bank account so they could deposit the money.

March Commission Meetings

Please check the Town of Suffield website for actual time and location (virtual, Zoom, etc.) of the following commission and committee meetings:

Town Hall Almost Ready

There were a few things yet to do, but they weren’t expected to interfere with Town departments moving back into the renovated Town Hall after the furniture is delivered. At the January 21 Permanent Building Commission (PBC) meeting, there was a general feeling of satisfaction, and the Certificate of Acceptance by the Building Inspector was expected soon after.

Animal Control Officer Honored

Animal Control Officer (ACO) Paul Selig was presented with the 2020 Paul A. Deneault/Theresa Foss Memorial Animal Control Officer of the Year Award on February 4 at the Suffield Police Station. The award is usually presented at the annual conference in September, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, it was cancelled.

Town Braves Difficult Conversations

The Town of Suffield tackles the topics of anti-racism, gender equality, access and ability, and religious and cultural expression in a speaker series, which kicked off on February 6. The virtual format features both scholars and authors presenting via talks, panels and discussions.

Famous Visitor Disappointed

A notable politician visited Suffield the other day to view our 350th drive-by parade. Unfortunately, while he had the right spot for a good view, he had been told the wrong date.

Old Power Line Being Replaced

Remember the big project in 2012, when Eversource built a new, very high voltage power line next to the old line across West Suffield they had installed in the 1930s? The new project was completed in early 2013.
