âArt Of Dr Seussâ

Will Visit Connecticut

CHESHIRE â The month of July is an especially appropriate time to visit Barker Animation, Fine Art and Sculptures as the gallery and museumâs owners present the Connecticut premiere of âThe Art of Dr Seuss: A Retrospective and National Exhibitionâ to celebrate the 100th birthday of Theodor (Dr Seuss) Geisel.

From July 1 until August 1, the gallery will host âThe Art of Dr Seuss: A Retrospective and National Touring Exhibition,â a traveling exhibition that debuted in November 2003.

The exhibit highlights works created between the 1920 and the 1990s that chronicle Seussâ little-known political cartoons drawn during World War II, his rarely seen advertising art, and his colorful and complex paintings from The Secret Art of Dr Seuss. The retrospective focuses on the common artistic links found through Seussâ nearly 70 years of creativity.

The exhibition also offers a rare glimpse into the artistic life of this celebrated American icon and chronicles almost seven decades of work that, in every respect, is uniquely, stylistically and endearingly âSeussian.â It is a presentation of nearly 70 years worth of American history via the timeless, groundbreaking, and fun work of Theodor Seuss Geisel.

Works in the exhibition have been gathered from significant public and private collections including the University of California at San Diego Archives, Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, and the estate of Theodor Geisel.

Barker Animation, Fine Art and Sculptures Gallery is at 1188 Highland Avenue in Cheshire. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, 800-995-2357.

Kevin Frest will be present during a special evening reception on Thurs, July 21, to provide insights into Mr Geiselâs artistic life, his unique vision and his impact on American culture.

Also, one of Dr Seussâ favorite characters, The Cat in the Hat, will appear at the gallery on Saturdays during July to surprise kids of all ages.

‘Timeless Newtown’ Series ‘Ageism Unmasked’ Book Talks Underway; One Speaker Change Announced

Congratulations on your nomination. In your announcement, you mentioned that Newtown faces real pressures, including “traffic patterns that make everyday life more stressful.” One growing concern for many residents and business owners is the repeated traffic disruption on Main Street caused by large-scale protests and rallies at the flagpole — held without a unified permitting process. Given that Main Street is a state road with a history of serious traffic and pedestrian safety issues, how would you, as First Selectman, approach the impact of these gatherings on traffic flow, public safety, and local businesses? I ask this with sincere interest in understanding how your commitment to “thoughtful planning” and “unity of action” would apply to this very real and recurring issue.

Democrats To Run Walczak For First Selectman

I appreciate Ryan’s thoughtful and grounded perspective on the need for a consistent, transparent, and lawful permitting process for large public events in Newtown. His approach reflects common sense within the framework of the law, balancing public safety, free expression, and fiscal responsibility—exactly what we should expect from our elected officials. In contrast, I was struck by Bruce Walczak’s comment suggesting that informal and "extensive discussion" are the preferred solutions to complex public issues. While there is certainly value in dialogue, the idea that decision-making should replace the thoughtful legislative process is troubling—especially coming from someone running for First Selectman.

Says ‘No’ Vote Sidestepped Due Diligence

I am grateful to The Democratic Town committee. I can vouch for the careful consideration they took in selecting our candidates. I appreciate their confidence in my managing skills to address the many issue facing Newtown. Ill be conducting listening tours over the next few months to gain a deeper understanding of my Newtown neighbors concerns and will be ready to address then day one.

There has been a rash of dog attacks, at least three that I know about on the sidewalks in town. Owners of pets need to be more attentive and respectful of their neighbors. Aggressive dogs need to be watched carefully to protect all. This is a serious issue and should be addresses not swept under a rug.

We Need A First Selectman Who Cares

I attended the meeting, and the results were reached after extensive discussion. Thats why its important to attend these high profile meeting, you see the facts yourself, As Alex, in the following letter, said the solution is not always more rules and legislation. Speaking to each other often solves issue a lot quicker with more flexibility.
