RIDGEFIELD â The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art will host a pair of âBrown Bag Lunch Tour and Discussionâ programs for adult audiences this spring. Participants may choose from either of two dates offered: Tuesday, February 27, or Wednesday, April 11.

A tour of the current exhibition âPaperâ will be offered each day at 11 am, with a brown bag luncheon following in the Leir Gallery. Lunch includes the opportunity to engage in a dynamic discussion about the exhibition with Aldrich docents, staff, and other group members.

A $3 charge covers admission, a docent-led tour, coffee, tea, and dessert. Participants provide their own brown bag lunch and drink.

Brown bag lunch tours are meant to offer a fun and informal way to learn about the latest trends in contemporary art. For the novice, these events are the perfect introduction to an internationally recognized arts center, and for old friends of the museum, an ideal way to share ideas about challenging artwork with peers.

Group size is limited. Call Patricia Barratt at 203/438-4519 for a reservation. The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art is at 258 Main Street (Route 35) in Ridgefield.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
