Former Sturbridge Police officer, Garrett Danna, was officially sworn in to the Sutton Police Department by Select Board Chair Jesse Limanek at the Town Hall on Tuesday.

“Obviously, I’ve been sworn in a couple times, but this time, it was very special to me because this was the first time that I had my wife actually pin me, and I had my children there,” Danna said.

Millbury author Chris Richards’ book, Nothing So Broken, recently reached #2 among Amazon hot new releases in Vietnam War biographies. Since its release in late August, the book has remained in the top 100 Amazon bestsellers list every week.

The book tells the story of Richards’ own grief while interweaving the stories of his best friend, Steven Bott, and his father, Larry Richards. Bott was involved in a serious industrial accident that almost killed him, while Richards’ father, Larry, served in the Vietnam War.

Krissy and Bob Dick (Sutton High class of 1987) will perform with the musical group, Christmas in New England, in a concert hosted by the Grass Roots Coffeehouse at 7:30pm on Saturday, December 20 at the Rockdale Congregational Church at 42 Fowler Road in Northbridge.

“Christmas really means a lot of things in different ways to people,” Bob Dick said. “For some people, it’s full of joy, some people it’s very hopeful, and some people it can be very sad. I’ve seen people crying during the shows—hopefully it’s not because we didn’t sound so good. I think it’s usually that we’ve struck a nerve… Christmas can be a difficult holiday for people sometimes.”
