Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue members check two of three vehicles involved in a collision around 7:30 am Tuesday, February 1, that partially closed Church Hill Road and sent two people to the hospital to be checked for injuries. According to police, Molly A. Connors, 17, of Sandy Hook, operating a 2018 Volvo S60 Premier (above right) south on Walnut Tree Hill Road, had stopped for the stop sign at the intersection with Church Hill Road. Ben R. Plaue, 16, of Newtown, operating a 2018 Nissan Rogue S (left), was traveling east on Church Hill Road near Walnut Tree Hill Road, and Lisa A. Cascella, 54, operating a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox was traveling westbound on Church Hill and was stopped at Walnut Tree Hill Road for a red traffic signal. Connors turned left onto Church Hill Road, failing to grant right of way to the oncoming Nissan. As a result, the front passenger side of the Volvo and the front end of the Nissan collided, causing disabling damage to both vehicles. The front of the Volvo then struck the front door of the Chevy. Cascella and a passenger both reported possible injuries and were transported to a hospital by Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps. A paramedic and Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue also responded to the crash. Connors, her passenger, and Plaue were each checked but did not have reported injuries. The Volvo and Nissan were towed; the Chevy was driven away from the scene. Connors was issued a citation for making an improper turn: failure to grant right of way. —Bee Photo, Hicks

An election day of reckoning is coming for Mitch and Tony. Their biggest failure has been to allow the electric companies in the state to make CT one of the highest cost states in the country. Milk going up by $1 is one thing but having our electric bills go up by almost 100% and hundreds of dollars every single month is another.

Please explain why they would walk over the USA if Kamala was to win? Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin, Xi, and Jung Un and invite them for golf and cocktails at Mar-a-lago. Not at all scary.

Politics And Morality

"The elector’s oath was administered to 61 new voters and one additional name was restored to the list at the meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk held in Edmond Town Hall last Saturday. This compares with 87 persons who were made voters in their corresponding meeting last year." Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing that.

The Way We Were

As someone who survived a near death suicide attempt I know how important having support outlets are. People don't always give indications that they are going to do something so it's important to look for hidden signs. Like spending alot of time with themselves, not being very verbal in social situations, and seeming detached. When I went through it looking back, I did display these behaviors but gave no indication that I was going to go through with it. At the time I felt I had no one who understood me. Letting people know they are loved, you understand and there's always a chance at a better tomorrow makes all the difference. Lynn T.

Suicide Is Not The Answer

I remember spending time with the Sandones when I was in Newtown high school with "Patty". She was my friend at the time. They were all so nice to me and I had a great time at their home in Sandy Hook. I remember Mathew being a sweet fun loving boy. I hope they are all doing well and I always will fondly remember the time I spent with all of their family. Lynn T.
