The whole Pledge is written carefully on the white stripes of the big flag Celine Zaczynski painted on canvas and hung on the barn behind her house near the end of South Main Street. The flag can be glimpsed by north-bound drivers on South Main, but this photo was taken from Limric Lane.
M&M’s Restaurant on North Main Street has changed owners, and with it came a name change. It is now Bissell’s Meeting House, a change reflective of its history.
To celebrate the Life of Astrid T. Hanzalek, a reception will be held on Sunday, September 29, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 at The Phelps-Hatheway House Barn, 55 South Main Street, Suffield.
On Sunday, October 6, Wings of Hope, a fundraiser to help with costs associated with Scott Flanagan’s cancer treatments, will be held at St. Robert Hall, 52 Elm Street, Windsor Locks starting at 5 p.m.
When I opened the door, it felt like I had stepped inside a spa! The soft pink curtain and gray walls are accented with an aromatherapy machine, sending gentle waves of scent and a distinctly relaxed feeling.
As owner and, until now, executive director of the well-regarded facility at 7 Canal Road, Celia Moffie is selling the place to LCB Senior Living, LLC. As this issue of the Observer goes to press, the sale is scheduled to close on August 31. LCB, based in Norwood, Mass., owns and operates similar facilities in five New England States, plus one in Pennsylvania. In Connecticut, the closest is the Residence at South Windsor Farms. Others are The Residence at Brookside in Avon, plus three more in Fairfield County. In its own publicity, LCB is described as being “among the first creators of independent, assisted, and memory impaired communities.”
Celia Moffie has owned Suffield by the River since the 20-acre parcel at 7 Canal Road was purchased in 1997.

Tom Senecal, President and CEO of PeoplesBank, has announced the appointment of Jacquelyn Guzie as Assistant Vice President and Regional Manager for First Suffield Bank, a division of PeoplesBank.
Anyone who lives or has lived in Suffield knows that Suffield is a town that draws people together to help and give support in any kind of crisis. When someone is facing hardship, it is never faced alone. Scott Flanagan of Suffield learned at the beginning of June that he has aggressive, diffuse large cell B Non-Hodgkins stage 4 Lymphona (involving bone, lymph nodes and viscera). Scott had been working as a Physical Therapist but had to go on family leave, which ended his compensation. The family is taking one day at a time, with their strong faith in God and family, hoping for the best.
With work under way even during this photo on a mid-August Sunday, the production equipment of the Broad Brook Brewing Company on South Street begins to shape up.
