• Simsbury Native, Competitive Eating Icon 'Eater X,' Dies At 49 (patch.com) — Simsbury residents are remembering native Timothy Janus, better known as "Eater X," a nationally known competitive eater who has died at 49 after a battle with cancer. Raised in Simsbury before gaining fame on the hot dog circuit and TV game shows, Janus built a colorful, globe-trotting life that friends say he lived entirely on his own terms.
• New Simsbury Fire Training Building Approved By Zoning Board (patch.com) — Simsbury officials have unanimously approved a special exception for a new 1,400-square-foot fire training building at 251 Hopmeadow Street, giving the Fire District a dedicated facility in town. With conditions tied to permit approvals and adherence to submitted plans, the project marks a significant step in strengthening firefighter training and public safety for Simsbury residents.
• Simsbury Town Clerk's Office To Close For 1 Day This Week (patch.com) — Simsbury residents who need services from the Town Clerk's Office should note it will be closed all day Thursday, Sept. 24, for professional development.
