Granby Town Clerk Scott Nolan is always looking for ways to make things more efficient and, in the process, usually easier. He recently brought a proposal to the board of selectmen regarding a way to streamline recording land records.
This summer, Rosemarie Weber stepped down from the Granby Board of Education. Weber, an attorney and military veteran, served the BOE for 12 years. In that time, she served in every position: chair, vice chair and secretary. In addition, she served and chaired both the finance and curriculum subcommittees, led the negotiations for several collective bargaining agreements, helped establish full-day kindergarten and one-to-one computing, among many other accomplishments.
To create more specific autonomous areas of control and enhance daily communication, Town Manager Mike Walsh recently announced a reorganization of the Public Works Department. Existing employees were interviewed and subsequently promoted to supervisory positions. The new positions will also provide more training and promotional opportunities.
In August as I prepare this column, the start of the school year is fast approaching and we are looking forward to welcoming our school community back to teaching and learning.
According to The American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 37 million U.S. households have cats. Keeping our felines active and engaged is very important for their health and welfare. Many feline behaviorists will divide a cat’s environment into five systems: space, nutritional, elimination, social, and behavioral.
For some people, like Ken Burkhart, retirement is not an option.
Senator Lisa Seminara of Avon, Senator John Kissel of Enfield and Representative Mark Anderson of Granby appeared in the town hall meeting room on June 26 to report on some of the proposals passed in the recently concluded State of Connecticut legislative session.
The second Granby First Responders Camp was held Aug. 12–14, offering local youths an immersive and educational experience with the town’s dedicated emergency services personnel. The three-day camp, designed to introduce participants to the vital roles of first responders, was a resounding success, providing hands-on activities, simulations and demonstrations.
The Granby Board of Education invites the community to the first edition of its periodic column—The Board of Ed Update. The board aims to provide information about our schools and notes beyond scheduled public meetings.

The focus of the Social Services Department is to coordinate existing federal, state, regional and local services, to increase community awareness of these services and to develop new programs to meet the needs of Granby residents.
