The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will host a program by Anda Styler of Sherman, who will demonstrate painting a landscape in acrylics, on Wednesday, April 25, at 1:30 pm.

This demonstration is open to the public, free of charge. It will be in the lower meeting room of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street (at the flagpole).

The Art Collector Magazine featured Ms Stylerâs work in the June 2007 issue with a double page spread. Her painting and techniques have also been published in two books by Northlight Publishers.

Ms Styler had four large paintings commissioned and placed in the permanent collection of Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, she was just published in Best of American Acrylic Painters 2012 (Kennedy Publishing), and she currently has work being featured at Harrison Gallery in Williamstown, Mass.

Ms Stylerâs work is well received because she connects to the viewer with mood and atmosphere. The artist is particularly drawn to the magic of the Litchfield Hills and the New England landscape. She captures the light in a landscape and using reality, bold color and imagination brings her picture to life.

Ms Styler earned a bachelor of arts degree from Parsons in New York City. She has won numerous awards for her work, including a recent second place finish in the Northlight Cover Competition for their catalog of books.

Reservations are not needed for SCAN programs, but additional information is always available from Ruth Newquist; call 203-426-6654.

Here is how Wilton's elected officials supported their budget, From the Wilton Paper: Please join us at the Annual Town Meeting (ATM) on Tuesday, May 6 and cast your vote on the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education budgets, as well as the mill rate and bonding referendums — collectively known as the ‘ATM Recommendations’. These recommendations reflect our community’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, outstanding education, and effective town services.

Says Referendum Process ‘Lacking Leadership’

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.
