To the Editor:
As a member of the New Canaan Behavioral Health Alliance, I’m writing to encourage people to take the “Community Health and Well-Being Survey.” Two years after nearly 1,490 (roughly 10.5 percent) of New Canaan adults set the baseline, the New Canaan Behavioral Health Alliance returns to measure what has changed. This is important and urgent, as you only have until the end of this month to fill it out. It only takes five minutes.

Who Knew: Forty Dollars, Eight Courses, Zero Regrets

‘Who Knew?’ is sponsored by Walter Stewart’s Market. The only hardship about eating at Crust Issues in Norwalk is parking. One recent evening, the woman from Naughty Nancy’s, the adult bookstore two doors down from our intended destination, angrily shooed us away from a parking spot reserved for her customers. Nancy was NOT playing, and I had questions. How could she tell we didn’t plan to shop in her store?

To the Editor: 

Although I am strongly in favor of more senior housing, I think that the public space of our Waveny Park is the wrong place to put it, and trying to cleverly redefine “health” to break deed restrictions and circumvent the donor’s wishes would be terrible precedent for gaining donor trust for future land donations. I also feel that encouraging a sense that the mulch pile area is not really part of the “park” in order to support development is misleading, disingenuous and short-sighted. Parcel E isn’t just empty space, and using land for mulch piles isn’t just good for gardeners.The value of open, undeveloped space to our physical and mental health, not to mention our property values, is well-documented, but the mulch piles themselves provide benefits to all our citizens.
