Groundbreaking
April 27, State Representative Pat Boyd (D-50) accompanied Pomfret community members to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new addition to the Pomfret Fire Station. The station extension will provide more room for training and store firefighter equipment. The space will also act as a home base for volunteer firefighters during their time between emergency calls. The structure itself will connect to the back of the firehouse and will be an estimated size of one-third of the station’s current size. It is funded with a STEAP grant of $200,000 and money was allocated by the Pomfret Fire District. The project addition should be completed over the summer.

Entertains at Westview
DAYVILLE — Flutist Terry Bradley of Grafton, Mass., performed recently for the patients and residents of Westview Health Care Center. He played “Anasazi and Eastern Woodland Flutes.” Markedly different from Bradley’s previous musical appearance where he performed an acoustic set of popular hits and island songs, Bradley shared his love for the history and tonal differences of each of the 14 flutes. that he brought before performing a song on each one. “This is a way for me to help preserve the heritage of the hundreds of Indian tribes that once inhabited our eastern seaboard,” stated Bradley. “History is a powerful teacher and every flute has a story to tell.” Inspired out of interest from his own Native American Mi’kmaq tribe heritage, Bradley began playing Anasazi and Eastern Woodland flutes in 1999. “Mr. Bradley’s musical abilities are a wonderful addition to our recreation department’s offerings to our patients and residents,” said David T. Panteleakos.
