Polish Heritage Society
|
With the holiday season right around the corner, the next three meetings of the Polish Heritage Society (PHS) will highlight Christmas and New Year traditions. The gatherings are open to anyone interested in learning about, preserving, and perpetuating the culture that was passed on from our Polish ancestors. They are held at the Suffield Ambulance Center at 10 a.m.
The session will be on Thursday, November 7, instead of the standard first Wednesday. It will be conducted by Marek Czarnecki, an artist, restorer and community scholar for Connecticut’s Polish American Community. He will be talking about the art of “szopka,” that is nativity scenes.

CLEPO Gives to CRC, Then Closes
|
Remember that sand pit story about citizens’ action out by South Pond? Troubled residents got together in 2014 to stop a dormant sand pit operation on Lake Road from reopening. They organized the Congamond Lakes Environmental Protection Organization (CLEPO), raised money to fight their battle in court, and won. But their satisfaction evaporated when their cooperating abutter, a requirement to contest a zoning decision, suddenly withdrew his objection and the win became a loss. The partners who had requested the zoning variance for reopening then bought the sand pit property and sold it to a sand-mining company, for a considerable profit.
