The project to rehabilitate and preserve the Cossitt Library building is moving forward. The Friends of Cossitt Library’s application for a Pomeroy-Brace Fund Grant at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving was approved in November 2021.

The Bright Spot Therapy dogs were the center of attention at Starbucks coffee shop’s Coffee with Canines in Granby center on Feb. 28 from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. The dogs’ owners frequently stop at the coffee shop after their weekly sessions with the dogs at Bradley International Airport, and the folks at Starbucks thought it would be fun to invite the dogs in so people could get to meet them and learn a bit about what therapy dogs do.

Albert Einstein famously said, “There are no coincidences.” It doesn’t take a genius, though, to recognize those occurrences that happen from time to time, that defy common explanation and leave you shaking your head in amazement. It could be something small—a happy timing of receiving just what was needed when it was needed. Or it might be a moment of providence with a life-changing impact. I’m not a genius, but I’ve experienced a few of those “beyond coincidence” situations myself.
One cold winter morning, Dr. David Nochimson struck up a conversation with Gordon Daniels, a driver for Paine’s recycling and rubbish removal. After learning of Daniel’s history, he contacted the Drummer because he felt this man deserved recognition, noting, “Everyone has a niche and is important.”
Sleep is vital to our general well-being, yet it can be elusive. Sleep is a biological necessity essential to health. The importance of good quality and quantity of sleep cannot be overlooked.
