avv/gs set 3/12 #691665

NEW YORK CITY â Spring is the time for celebrating the rebirth of nature and for its current exhibit, the Marbella Gallery has chosen âThe Beauty of Natureâ to herald the coming of spring. The exhibit will be on view March 21âApril 13.

This group of paintings bears witness to the creative and subtle messages that have evolved from the forces of nature, an elegy to moments of private reflection, a biblical and spirited conception of rebirth.

The show will include paintings by George Inness, Carleton Wiggins, Alexander Helwig Wyant, William Trost Richards, Alfred T. Bricher, Joseph Margulies, J. Francis Murphy, Aleen Aked, Eliot Clark, Robert Hallowell and Samuel Brecher.

âThe Marbella Gallery Inc takes pride in presenting this group of paintings that takes us through lifeâs imagery in its dialogue of nature with art,â Mildred Thaler Cohen, gallery director said. âWe bear witness to the artistic communication through the heritage of our geographical wonders in hidden affinities of poetic and romantic realism.â

The gallery is at 28 East 72nd Street. For information, 212-288-7809.

Open Letter to Newtown’s Voting Majority

Arnie Berman For A Better Newtown

I’m With Bruce And Paul

If Bruce Walczak wasn’t considered qualified enough to serve on the Board of Education the last time he ran, how does that suddenly make him fit to lead the entire town as First Selectman? Newtown deserves proven competence, not political recycling. We should expect more from our leaders than recycled campaigns and empty slogans about “listening.” The First Selectman’s job demands results, judgment, and the respect of those he hopes to lead — not another round of excuses. Do we really elect failure as a qualification now?

Reasons To Support Walczak

We don’t need more listeners — we need action. We need someone who will stand up for the town, not engage in a politically divisive, doublespeak campaign. We need honor in the position, not politics. Leadership isn’t about echoing what’s convenient or popular — it’s about facing hard questions and making tough decisions for the good of the whole community. Newtown deserves a leader who answers with conviction, not calculation. Our town needs accountability, not applause.

Walczak, A Leader Who Listens And Follows Through

Mr. Walczak’s reply is unfortunately emblematic of the political double-speak that frustrates so many residents. Rather than engaging on the substantive issues raised — namely, the balance between quality education and fiscal responsibility — he chose to deflect and assign partisan blame. It’s easy to grandstand about “supporting education.” It’s harder to make responsible decisions that keep Newtown affordable for everyone — families, seniors, and small businesses alike. That’s the work real public servants are doing, even when it’s not politically convenient.

Responds To Walczak

*Regardless, you should know that the Board of Education has the greatest influence on the education budgets that ultimately come before Board of Finance and LC.

Mr. Walczak, I read it multiple times before submitting my letter and again afterward. Nowhere in your letter do you mention Legislative Council. Regardless, you should know that the Board of Education has the greatest influence on budgets that ultimately come before Board of Finance and LC. In addition, I noted that you didn't respond to the more substantive issue highlighted in my letter -- school funding and impact on our residents. Your initial letter seemed to indicate that "Republicans" were misguided in challenging budget requests. Regardless of whether you were talking about LC or BOE, is it your position that 64.8% of every tax dollar is not enough to adequately fund our schools? Are you advocating to spend more money? It feels like your Letter to the Editor is at odds with your campaign pitch of affordability.
