Sewer Dumpings We feel the article “Sewage Dumping in Local Woods”, published in the November “Norfolk Now” and the Waterbury Republican, has had a negative impact on the W. F. Torrant Co., Inc. and has embarassed the Torrant family members residing in Norfolk. We are asking that your newspaper issue a clarification, and that you […]

To the Editor of Norfolk Now: I am a member of the Emergency Services Building Committee, writing with my personal response to the November editorial, “Just How Good is That View?” I was surprised by the editor’s question as to why the new Emergency Services Building is sited on the corner of Route 44 and […]

Norfolk Then…
Meet the Bishop family outside their home near the Norfolk-North Goshen town line. There’s Ernest and Sadie to the left of their father, George; Jennie in the center behind Elsie; Martha and Mabel in front of their mother, Rose, who holds the baby.
