Granby Drummer (https://granbydrummer.com/category/voice/letter-to-the-editor/page/16/)
I’m a freelance writer and the mother of one small child. My husband provides much of the childcare, but he has a job as well, and often I find myself torn between the demands of work and the need to take my son out so he can play with other children.
In our Nov. 5 local election, I am voting for Jim Lofink, a Democrat who has been on the Board of Selectman for several years. I hope you do too.
I am writing to offer my support to Rosemarie Weber for re-election to the Granby Board of Education. Rosemarie and her husband, Dr. Chris Weber, moved to town in 2005.
Granby celebrated, for different reasons, the departure of a number of unique people and/or institutions who have enriched the town over recent years and who can be emulated but never replaced. Permit me to acknowledge them.
On behalf of The Friends of Cossitt Library, thank you for supporting the jigsaw puzzle sale that was held earlier this summer at Cossitt Library. The puzzle sale was started several years ago by the late Bobbie Sullivan and we are happy to continue the tradition.
Something new has been happening at our lovely Granby cemetery this summer. People are deadheading their flowers and pulling yellowed leaves and weeds and leaving them under the water spigots.
I am a kayaker and a hiker who travels the Farmington River in the warm seasons and walks on trails that run along the Salmon Brook just about every day.
As you may know, after 11 years as the Superintendent of Schools, and 21 years in the district, I will be leaving Granby this summer to assume a new professional opportunity serving as the Superintendent for Darien Public Schools.
After 21 years of service, including 11 as the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Alan Addley has informed the board he will be leaving Granby to serve as the Superintendent of Darien Public Schools.
I know there are many people who are excited to watch the Kearns Community Center bloom into a magnet for resources and opportunities for all ages and cultures. I am one of them.
