Cocky Squirrel Plays Chicken With SUV

Fall season is here and with it comes a renewed sense of urgency for New Milford’s squirrel community. As leaves turn yellow and acorns tumble to the ground, it’s go-time for these bushy-tailed critters to hastily stock up food supply for the winter months.

Then there is Rocky Junior, known amongst squirrels as a daredevil and a tad cavalier. While his peers are out doing the hard work of stockpiling nuts, Rocky Junior is instead found roadside waiting to challenge fast-moving SUVs to a game of chicken.

“I nearly had a heart attack,” recalled Chevy Tahoe owner, Julia Nutrisse. “I was driving peacefully along when suddenly this squirrel jumped out of nowhere and darted across the road. I nearly hit another car swerving out of the way.”

Reports indicate Rocky Junior seems to be tempting fate by beginning his brazen dashes at the very last possible second as trucks approach. In some instances, Rocky runs halfway across the street, turns around to run back, then swings back around one more time towards the other side.

Sassafras will continue to track Rocky Junior’s exploits as the fall season unfolds.

Caught this rig a few years back on Danbury Road in New Milford, CT. It currently belongs to Northeast Diving Services. They provide numerous underwater tasks, such as repairing docks, underwater recovery, dredging, and lake/pond weed removal. I know the chassis is a Ford C, but not sure who built the body. Also, does anyone know where this rig served as a Fire Rescue truck before this? #newmilfordct #northeasterndivingservices #scuba #rescuetruck #fordtrucks #fordc #truck #trucks #diving #underwater #recovery #fireapparatus #sethgranville #x635photos (at New Milford, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrReuAH3f7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b834t57avpl

New Milford Parking Officer To Chalk Shoes Of Outdoor Restaurant Patrons

As Connecticut cases of COVID-19 continue to decline, New Milford restaurants have re-opened with much fanfare and success, featuring attractive outdoor dining options across the community. The popularity of outdoor cuisine is hard to deny. Most restaurants are packed with customers who are glad to be out in a social environment once again. The success, however has created a new problem to address: restaurants can’t get patrons to leave in a timely fashion.

“Outdoor dining is great, but we’re still not operating at full capacity,” said a restaurant owner who wished to remain anonymous, “For the numbers to work, we need to turnover tables at a steady rate, but we can’t get customers to leave.”

Enter the New Milford Police Department’s Parking Enforcement Officer to the rescue. To ensure restaurants turn over tables efficiently, restaurant patrons will be required to have their shoes chalked as soon as they take their seats. Once marked, customers have a maximum of 60 minutes to complete their meal and pay the bill. If they exceed the time limit, they will be ticketed $25.

The new rule is effective immediately.
