Ever since a large gathering for a town hall meeting was held in Sutton in October 2018, the Sutton Community Home and the Sutton Community Home Foundation have been hard at work coming up with a feasible and financially viable plan and upgrade to the Sutton Community Home and the Hillcrest View Assisted Living facilities in Sutton.

That hard work and dedication to keep the Sutton home a strong and lasting part of the community has come to life with the announcement last week of a new three-tier assisted living facility. This will be the eventual home of the 32-unit facility at its current location, 1106 N. Saunders Ave.

As many of you read in our last edition, the proposed facility will not include a skilled nursing care center, which has been the financial drain of the facility for the better part of three to four years now.

Allegro Wolf will present a melodrama this weekend, June 22 and 23, as well as three skits performed by upcoming young actors.

With both days starting at 7 p.m.—with a cash bar and reception hour starting at 6 p.m.—the audience will delve into the world of D.K. Molar, a depraved dentist who steals gold from patient’s teeth and replaces them with fools gold.

However, his new receptionist, Flossy Dailey, begins to notice something amiss within the dentist office, and sets out to find out what and who’s behind it.

There are some people in this world, myself included, who think they can do everything for everyone and be some sort of superman/woman without any consequences.

What these people (most of the time) don’t realize is that constantly being on the move and never taking time to just be still and not worry about how they can fix other people’s problems or never say “no” to favors is actually hurting them.

They need to know when enough is enough. That it’s OK to say you can’t take anymore on your plate, that you can’t help someone with something, that you just need a break.
