KENT, CONN. â The Bachelier Cardonsky Gallery will open a new exhibition Saturday, May 26. âConnect/ Disconnectâ showcases four artists and is on view through June 24.

Robert Croninâs canvases are narratives of people in curious relationships filled with tender sentiments, sometimes embracing and humorous, lonesome or mysterious.

Lisbeth Firmin was honored last month with a NYS Foundation for the Arts fellowship in printmaking. Her monotypes depict transient moments, pedestrians blurred in passing.

Benjamin Long favors plants as his primary subject, but his paintings go beyond botanical. They are inventive, seductive and often entwined with environmental commentary.

Michael Pilon creates abstract sculptures, given the found chunks of raw metals from which they originate, are surprisingly graceful.

A reception for the artists will be held Saturday, May 26, from 3 to 6 pm. The gallery is on Main Street. For additional information, 860-927-3129,

Considering showing proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is an 80/20 issue. Also, explain why you would be against showing ID to vote? Just curious, if you entered a foreign country illegally, would you expect to be able to vote in that foreign countries elections?

Elections Have Consequences XXI

This article notes that a “director of operations is largely the same thing as a town administrator.” But, the Charter states that “[t]he First Selectman shall be the Chief Executive and Administrative Officer of the Town...” So, it appears that Newtown already has a town administrator. Also, the Charter outlines some of the responsibilities of the Administrative Officer (i.e., First Selectman), for example, in sections 4-40 [employees], 6-05(b) [creating a budget], and 7-15(d) [purchasing]. Would the Director of Operations have any say over employee performance reviews and decisions related to hiring or dismissing employees? Would s/he be the one to work with individual departments when developing a budget? Would s/he be considered a purchasing authority? If not, then how will the position actually help reduce the administrative workload that the First Selectman now does? Also, will the position include enough leadership responsibilities to entice those with the skills that the town needs to offload those responsibilities from the First Selectman? Perhaps answers to these questions (and more) could be a part of the work of the next Charter Revision Committee.

Town Administrator, Town Manager, Director Of Operations?

Voting Rights - Ct. is one of 24 states being sued by the DOJ for not turning over our statewide voter registration lists including driver's license and social security numbers.

A very Happy Birthday to Mary Allen on this momentous occasion. During my time as First Selectman, I found great joy in participating in centennial celebrations at Stone Bridge and throughout Newtown. Providing a formal citation for a milestone like yours remains one of my proudest memories of public service.
