Dear Editor:

This year’s October4Design, New Canaan’s celebration of art, architecture, and design in the community where it happens, kicked off with a wine tasting hosted by Carl Franco. Francos Wine Merchants partnered with Kobrand, a distributor for some of the most well-respected vineyards in the world, to offer French, Italian, and American reds, whites, champagne, and sparkling wines. A large crowd gathered at the New Canaan Museum & Historical Society to sip, learn, and socialize.

Dear Editor,

I am proud to endorse State Senator Ryan Fazio and State Representative Tom O’Dea for re-election this November 5th. Both these dedicated public servants have consistently demonstrated their commitment to working across the aisle to achieve meaningful results for our community. Ryan and Tom played a crucial role in helping New Canaan secure its 8-30g moratorium, which empowers us to maintain local control over our zoning decisions.

Dear Community,
Among the many key determinants of health and well-being, including genetics, access to quality medical care, socioeconomic status and environmental factors, equally vital are our social support and engagement networks. Over time, they’ve become more intergenerational, with a commensurate positive impact on health outcomes. For example, 65+ year-olds are expected to account for 23% of the population by 2054. Research shows how they’re playing a larger role in their families’ lives by increasingly shaping their grandchildren’s physical, cognitive and emotional health, in what could become, in a sense, a return to pre-industrial norms.
It’s in this context that we champion New Canaan’s vibrant multigenerational community, as seen at many civic, artistic and lifestyle events around town. Equally dynamic, at Waveny LifeCare Network, family members of all ages visit loved ones daily throughout our residences and facilities, while hundreds of age-diverse volunteers support our compassionate work and engagement with the 1,000+ patients and residents we touch each and every day.

Editor:

The Connecticut General Assembly’s House of Representatives, which has its roots in the mid-17th century and was formally established in 1818, is a legislative body comprised of 151 representatives from communities or districts across our state. This year, we have a unique opportunity to vote for three impressive and experienced professionals and community advocates who will bring fresh perspectives and proven advocacy to the General Assembly. 

Jason Bennett (125th District) is a local entrepreneur with a track record in economic growth and technological innovation, who has also served as a volunteer crisis counselor, a vital public service. Savet Constantine (42nd District) has been a marketing professional and public education advocate, having served at the classroom level and as PTA president in Wilton, where she worked tirelessly to enhance educational outcomes for children.

New Canaanites:
For years the League of Women Voters has sponsored candidate debates and brought candidates before the public to hear their positions on issues important to the voters. It has been drawn to our attention that with no debates scheduled this year in New Canaan they are sorely missed. We consider this a compliment to our past efforts to provide an opportunity for the public and candidates to meet one another.
