Business Options With Mizza’s closed and the Corner Store a question mark, surely Norfolk needs to revisit the future desires expressed in last year’s 2023! symposium. These basically were for the familiar Our Town scenario – a town of every social class and full of small retail businesses – flowers, candy, books. Sweet… Now it […]

Let’s hear some positive facts Last month’s “View From the Green” by Lindsey Pizzica Rotolo, citing an article published in the Hartford Courant, depicted the state of Connecticut in overly negative terms. A recent bulletin titled “Connecticut Economic Review: 2014,” a publication of the not-for-profit, Connecticut Economic Resource Center (CERC), offers a useful balance to […]

Curb Your Dog I just read the article in the March issue about “close encounters with moose,” and I am very disappointed that neither the author nor Jody Bronson said anything about keeping your dogs on leash. Under CT statute 22-358, any dog found pursuing a deer (and (I would hope moose) can be killed […]

I took away three specific initiatives for the future: fiber optics (Kim Maxwell), improve the school (Sally Carr and Ann DeCerbo), and a trails network (West Lowe and Marie Isabelle). Coincidentally, as president of the Norfolk Land Trust I […]

Given the state of Norfolk’s finances, and other issues, why would a single bond be used to cover three undertakings with widely disparate levels of importance, i.e., the pension underfunding, the […]

Working Toward More Affordable Housing Thank you for the opportunity to provide input into a vision for Norfolk in 10 years. It was 10 years ago that we began searching for a home to buy. We looked at houses in Norfolk, but they were not affordable to us at the time. We purchased a three […]

Many Thanks Thank you to all of our loving friends who comforted us through this very difficult time, and to Pastor Olsen’s congregation, along with the residents of Meadowbrook, who helped make the service so wonderful! It is very heartwarming to see so many friends coming together to say goodbye to Steve, and very comforting […]

Diverse Community, Diverse Views For those of us who have gay family members, friends, neighbors, colleagues and classmates (from Gilbert High School), the issue of gay marriage isn’t a theological debate between “God-centered” and “human-centered” principles (“Letters,” April 2012). It’s about fairness and civil rights. I don’t believe that the gay people in our community […]
