An exhibition of photographs entitled “When Fall Comes to New England: A Short Lived Gift to Behold” will open at Cyrenius Booth Library in Newtown on Sunday, November 7. The work, by former Newtown resident Tom Kretsch, was inspired by the words and music from singer-songwriter Cheryl Wheeler’s song of a similar title, which captures the moods and feelings of this season of change. With 36 images that were hung in the library’s lower meeting room on November 2, Mr Kretsch has assembled an essay of images depicting the splendor of this glorious but short-lived magical time. Along the shoreline, deep in the woods, across the meadows and by the rivers he has captured this season’s beauty: life’s last gasps before winter’s long cold sleep. “Having grown up in Newtown and graduated from high school here, it is nice to have a chance to share my work in the library,” said Mr Kretsch, who will host an opening reception for “When Fall Comes To New England” on Sunday, November 7, from 2 to 4 pm. The public is invited to meet the NHS graduate on Sunday, or to visit the exhibition during regular library hours during the next four weeks. The exhibit will remain on view until December 5. For more information call the library at 203-426-4533. (Hicks photo)

On Tuesday, October 26, workers using a hydraulic crane hoisted sections of a new modular house into place at 5 South Main Street, across the street from The Ram Pasture. The four modular sections erected by Westchester Modular Homes of Fairfield County, Inc, will comprise a new Colonial-style house that should be completed by mid-December, when interior outfitting is finished. The new approximately 1,500-square-foot house to be occupied by the Wheeler-Taylor family replaces a former Cape Cod-style house on the site that was heavily damaged in May 2009 when an almost 100-foot-tall silver maple tree fell onto that structure during high winds.
