Scene in Suffield: Fall Ball Under the Lights

In a Suffield vs Suffield battle on the diamond Wednesday night, Suffield came out the winner.

The two Suffield Little League Fall Ball teams faced each other in a playoff game Wednesday night in Enfield at Asnuntuck Community College. The game ended with a 7-3 score with the winner moving onto the next sequence of playoffs this weekend.

In other news, the Little League fall cleanup will take place Saturday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Christian Field complex on Hale Street. Volunteers are needed to help clean the fields, take down netting and signs, and otherwise prepare the complex for its winter hibernation. Children willing to work are welcome, and the bonus is that such volunteering will help accumulate community service hours.

The problem is resurfacing all the roads in Suffield would cost a great deal of money. Suffield is aRead More big town. I do understand that some roads in Suffield do not have enough adjacent suitable land to create a separate bike lane, but I believe bike lanes could be constructed along sections of some scenic roads. Half a loaf is better than none at all. Salvatore, if you have not already been there, you may want to consider cycling on the island of Nantucket. I have not been there in years, but outside of its main town, Nantucket did offer good riding conditions and peaceful surroundings--at least when I visited.

Thank you for your comment. Actually, I was simply suggesting that roads are resurfaced. There isn'tRead More probably enough room for bike lanes on most of these backroads, but if at least the pavement was brought to an acceptable condition, that would make biking much more pleasant (I should say "possible") and, let's not forget, much safer. Some particularly damaged areas represent a serious danger to bikers' safety.

There may be a solution--a compromise of sorts. Put a narrow, but well-maintained bike lane on largeRead More sections of each scenic road in town, the roads with fewer cars and trucks. Just having the bike lanes may be draw for out-of-town cyclists to visit Suffield and spend money at local businesses. Instead of attempting to change Suffield into a metropolitan area, with all the problems that brings, celebrate (and financially support) its original identity--a scenic, peaceful agricultural town with some nice amenities.
