Sandi Randall has lived most of her live in New England, and like many lifelong residents of the region this area has affected her outlook.

A collection of Ms Randallâs work will be on view at C.H. Booth Library during July. The works will be in the Olga Knoepke Memorial Room, and can be viewed during regular library hours. The library is at 25 Main Street in Newtown; telephone 426-4533.

A painter, Ms Randall prefers to work outside, close to nature. She finds many vistas that give her work its distinctive palette. Her landscapes, acutely rendered, are culled from the areaâs rough juxtapositions and are best described as abstract realism.

Ms Randall has won numerous awards in juried shows. Her works have been accepted into events hosted by The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN); Fine Line Art Gallery, Woodbury; Kent Art Association; New Milford Historical Society; Richter Association for the Arts, Danbury; Aetna Institute Gallery, Hartford; North Shore Art Association in Gloucester, Mass.; and Contemporary Artists of New England and New York, among many others.

She is a member of Arts Alive Studio of Cheshire, Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, North Show Art Association and Mystic Art Association.

Her work is represented in corporate and private collections. It was recently featured at The Friars Club in New York City.

‘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.
