WHAT IS NEXT FOR RICHFIELD?

1/29/2016

Ten years ago Richfield residents had to consider how they would vote on a local referendum. They voted to support the Incorporation of the Town of Richifleld to become a village. At that time Jeff Gonyo and his buddies frequently spoke in opposition to the referendum.

On April 5, 2016 Richfield residents will have to decide how to vote on two referendums that were brought forth by Danah Zoulek. These referendums are supported by Jeff Gonyo since he circulated and signed many of the papers needed to get this request bought forward. The questions residents will have to consider and vote on, at the April 5th, 2016 Spring Village of Richfield election, were made public at the January 28th village board meeting.

Help find a missing dog in Colgate area

1/20/2016

There is a very sad and frantic woman who’s Sheltie ran away this morning. She describes him as a very small “fawn & white” in color who was just rescued from the Humane Society 7 weeks ago. Owners live in the subdivision Willow Gate Pass, Colgate area of the Village of Richfield, which has lots of woods.

The dog SAM had a long leash on him and the owner is afraid that he got caught up on some trees. Owners have looked everywhere! His collar actually says “Max”, but his name is Sam. Hopefully somebody catches sight of him – he is afraid and very skittish. In this weather the dog's life is a stake.
