Dear Neighbors,
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and alone by what’s happening in the world, come join us—Tuesdays at 9:30 am meeting in front of Houlihan & Lawrence. We’ll walk to our Town Hall, then to Rosies for tea or coffee and companionship. Peggy Risom Bull
‘Who Knew?’ is sponsored by Walter Stewart’s Market. A man, diagnosed with terminal colon cancer, made a hilarious, profound rocketship of a movie about it, and I’m inviting you to come watch it with me at the New Canaan Playhouse on April 18th. André is an Idiot is the best movie about death I’ve ever seen. Not just me; pretty much anyone who sees it. It won the Audience Award at Sundance.

I’ve spoken to a lot of people about gas leaf blowers, and nearly everyone has been outspoken against them. It’s not just the disruption of our daily lives and use of our properties by their horrible noise —there are also serious health concerns associated with their use. Research from the Children’s Environmental Health Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai warns that gas leaf blowers pose significant health risks to residents, landscaping workers, and especially children.

Dear Editor,
As many New Canaan residents already know, this year, New Canaan’s South Elementary School has proudly been celebrating its 75th anniversary of educating and inspiring generations of students. Since opening its doors in September 1950, the school has been a cornerstone of the community, shaping the lives of thousands of children and serving as a gathering place for families, staff, and neighbors alike. We have three special anniversary events coming up as the school year comes to an end that we wish to extend an invite to for all alumni and families, current students and families, and current and former faculty and staff.

Dear Editor,
Some have raised concerns about the cost for landscaping companies to transition away from gas-powered leaf blowers. While that concern deserves consideration, it should also be viewed in context. Landscaping equipment is replaced regularly as part of normal business operations.
