SUMMARY:“In Search of the Old Leatherman”–A Talk by Nicholas Bellantoni
DESCRIPTION:From 1860-1889\, an unofficial Wilton resident\, the mysterious and silent “Old Leatherman\,” would pass through town every 34 days on his regular route from east to west\, sleeping in caves and eating food that local residents set out for him. Dr. Nicholas Bellantoni\, emeritus state archaeologist\, will present an illustrated talk\, “In Search of the Old Leatherman\,” in which he will discuss the history of this unique individual\, describe some of the caves he occupied and the archaeology done at a few of them\, and will touch on the time he spent in Wilton. \nAccording to Bob Russell’s book\, Wilton\, Connecticut:  Three Centuries of People Places\, and Progress\, two of the Leatherman’s regular food stops were the Nathan (later John) Comstock house at 77 Ridgefield Rd.\, and the Dick Moriarity house in the Huckleberry Hill area\, not far from Rock Lake Reservoir where he had a cave. Bellantoni will also discuss his search for the Old Leatherman’s unmarked grave in Sparta Cemetery\, in Ossining\, NY. The event includes questions and answers\, and a reception. \nThe talk is free for members\, $10 for non-members. Please register by calling 203.762.7257 or via email. \nBellantoni serves as the emeritus state archaeologist with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology Center at the University of Connecticut. He received his doctorate in anthropology from UConn in 1987 and was shortly thereafter appointed state archaeologist. He also serves as an Adjunct Associate Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology at University of Connecticut\, and is a former president of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut and the National Association of State Archeologists. He has recently published a book\, The Long Journeys Home: The Repatriations of Henry Opukahaia and Albert Afraid of Hawk.

SUMMARY:Eighth Annual Election Day Scavenger Hunt for Kids
DESCRIPTION:With Election Day Cake! \nKids 8-and-up can search the Wilton Historical Society’s historic 18th and 19th century buildings with clues in hand\, peering into corners\, lofts\, nooks and crannies of historic houses and barns. Delicious and historic Election Day Cake will be served. \nSuggested for ages 8 and up. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child per family; for non-members is $15 per family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“Unlike today\, in the 18th and 19th centuries\, Election Day met with great celebration. Voters came to major cities like Hartford to cast their ballots and then stayed to socialize and celebrate their democratic freedoms. Often\, city residents hosted elaborate banquets where the dessert course consisted of coffee\, hot cider\, and a generous portion of Election Cake. \n“Election Cake is a cross between bread and cake. Full of fruits and nuts\, this rich dessert became a staple of Election Day celebrations. While there are numerous variations to the recipe\, one submitted by a Mrs. Charles Flagg of Hartford in 1890 included butter\, sugar\, flour\, eggs\, baking powder\, raisins\, currants\, citron\, almonds\, vanilla\, and milk. \n“Although the cake began its association with the city of Hartford in the 1830s\, Connecticut recipes for it date back to 1771. Back then\, colonists might consume Election Cake during daylong town meetings or as a reward for their service after a long day of voting. Sometimes political party advocates handed out Election Cake to those who voted a straight ticket (voting for the same political party for every office). \n“In the early 19th century\, as the parades and balls held in Hartford became more elaborate\, Connecticut residents began identifying Election Day with the city of Hartford and the celebrations there became one of the great festivals in the state. As a result\, Election Cake soon established itself as a Hartford tradition. \n“The popularity of Election Cake got a real boost from its publication in a reprint of Amelia Simmons’s recipe book\, American Cookery\, in 1800. At a time when women faced little opportunity to display their political loyalty\, individuals like Amelia Simmons made food not only social but patriotic as well. Her recipe for Election Cake called for 30 quarts of flour\, 10 pounds of butter\, 14 pounds of sugar\, 12 pounds of raisins\, and three dozen eggs—an indication of the many mouths it was meant to feed. \n“Election Cake became the first food strongly associated with American politics. What made it more unique and important was the way it provided women with an opportunity to express their commitment to their new country. This was no trivial outlet in an era that prohibited women from voting. Through their production of Election Cake and other recipes\, including Independence Cake\, Franklin Gingerbread\, and Democratic Tea Cakes\, women projected their influence into the public sphere and helped ingrain patriotism into our national culture.” \n— excerpted from an article by Gregg Mangan\, ConnecticutHistory.org

SUMMARY:Free Youth CPR Class
DESCRIPTION:Free Youth Hands-Only CPR/AED Training Class run by the Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps. \nKids in grades 5-12! Come learn lifesaving skills–or take a refresher\, Tuesday\, Nov. 12\, at 7 p.m.. \nHands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as at home\, at work or in a park). Most people who experience cardiac arrest at home\, work or in a public location die because they don’t receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. As a bystander\, don’t be afraid. Your actions can only help! \nThe class is open to all area youth\, hosted by Our Lady of Fatima Youth Group in the Parish Center of Our Lady of Fatima Parish Center\, 229 Danbury Rd\, Wilton. \nInterested participants need to register online. \n

SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids:  Exploring Colonial Apple History\, Making Applesauce Cake
DESCRIPTION:According to The American Table\, “With the exception of the wild sour crab apple\, apples are not indigenous to North America. Seeds were brought to the colonies by the Puritans in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. One of the few comfort foods reminiscent of home\, apples quickly grew in popularity\, growing orchards from seed rather than grafting. In growing from seed\, the burgeoning colonies created hundreds of unique varieties within a relatively short period of time.” \nWilton Historical Society museum educator Katherine Karlik will be talking about apples\, applesauce\, cider\, and other interesting details about the importance of the common apple\, Malus domestica\, which is a member of the rose family. Applesauce Cake is the recipe of the day. The fad for this moist cake began during rationing in World War I and its popularity peaked in World War II. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards–as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. Previous sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes\,” New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, dressed macaroni and cheese\, gingerbread cakes\, maple syrup tart\, quick pickling and Johnny cakes. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nCost for members is $10; non-members are $15. Space is limited—please register by email or calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“The first American apple orchard was planted around 1625 by William Blackstone on Boston´s Beacon Hill. The first governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony\, William Endicott\, was a distinguished orchardist. Endicott´s account book noted his children had set fire to part of his operation\, destroying 500 trees\, a very considerable operation at that time in history. Well-known American apple orchardists include George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.” – The US Apple Association

SUMMARY:Birds of Winter in Connecticut Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Over 25 varieties of common backyard birds can be seen in our area in winter\, and there is something very satisfying about feeding these avian friends during the harsh winter months. According to Herb Wilson\, ornithologist and professor emeritus of biology at Colby College\, “Bird feeding is a two-way street. We feed the birds to help them survive but also feed to lure the birds closer to us so that we may enjoy their beauty and behavior. We can start in 1854 with Henry David Thoreau. In his classic reflection Walden\, he writes of tossing half a bushel of unripe corn just outside his cabin and watching the various animals that were attracted to the corn\, including Blue Jays and Black-capped Chickadees.” \nSome species prefer open fields or others\, more forested neighborhoods. At this Birds of Winter in Connecticut workshop for kids\, museum educator Katherine Karlik will talk about identifying local birds that might visit a home feeder. The workshop project is making a birdfeeder using a grapevine ball filled with a mixture of suet\, cornmeal and birdseed. Children will help make their own snack. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. Cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child; non-member cost is $15 per child. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nIn 1934 Roger Tory Peterson published the Field Guide to the Birds and not only promoted birding through feeding but gave people their first portable\, easy-to-use\, and comprehensive means of identifying the birds they encountered. This helped contribute to the enjoyment of bird feeding as well as the development of species-specific feeding.

SUMMARY:“I Have A Dream” Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Day Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream was to see people of all countries\, races\, and religions living together in harmony. His “I have a Dream” speech was delivered on Aug. 28\, 1963 at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before a crowd of 250\,000. Dr. King made references to our founding fathers and the Bible\, maintaining a positive and uplifting tone. A famous passage includes\, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” His speech was televised and brought favorable exposure to the movement and the landmark passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. \nAt this “I Have a Dream” Workshop for Kids\, museum educator Katherine Karlik will have the kids listen to an excerpt from King’s famous speech\, and talk about his vision and their dreams for a better world. The workshop project is creating a small canvas banner\, personalized with their dreams. The kids will help make their own snack. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child; non-member cost is $15 per child. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nSummers in Connecticut tobacco fields exposed Dr. Martin Luther King to a desegregated world. \n“In the summers of 1944 and 1947\, a freshman from Morehouse College in Atlanta\, GA arrived in Connecticut to begin working in the tobacco fields in Simsbury. On Sundays\, he and other students would go to the First Church of Christ to attend a service. This particular student\, just 15 years old\, was selected to be the religious leader for the group of young men and led meetings at the dorms where topics such as changing the world and contributing to society were discussed. His name was Martin Luther King Jr. “ – excerpted from the website of the Simsbury Free Library\, Simsbury\, CT

SUMMARY:Documentary:   "Angst: Raising Awareness about Anxiety"
DESCRIPTION:Following high community interest in this documentary when it was shown at the recent Day of Recovery at Wilton Presbyterian Church in November 2019\, church officials have arranged a second showing of the film\, Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety\, which was created to start community conversations about anxiety and to provide tools\, resources and hope. \nOn Sunday\, Jan. 26\, Wilton Presbyterian Church will hold a special screening of the documentary in our church Lounge to open up a dialogue between local families\, community leaders and experts. The event will feature a viewing of the 56-minute film\, followed by an informative discussion led by several area therapists/mental health professionals. \nThe producers have one goal: to start a global conversation and raise awareness around anxiety. Through candid interviews\, they utilize the power of film to tell the stories of many kids and teens who discuss their anxiety and its impacts on their lives and relationships\, as well as how they’ve found solutions and hope. The film also includes a special interview with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps\, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. In addition\, the documentary provides discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects\, along with the help\, resources and tools available to address the condition. \n“Part of the beauty of this film is the openness of the children and young adults featured; for some of them\, the Angst project marks the first time they are publicly sharing their experiences with anxiety. Our hope is that their candidness and bravery will inspire our community to do the same\,” says Rev. Shannon White of WPC. The film is appropriate for ages 6th grade through adult. \nWhile “Angst” documents the struggles some people have with anxiety\, it also reveals their hope for the future. Noah\, a teenager in the film\, describes it this way:  “Anxiety doesn’t define me. It’s not just a curse; it also gives me strength.” \n“Everybody needs to know that anxiety disorders are real\, common and treatable instead of viewing them as a personal choice or something to be ashamed of\,” said Dr. Jerry Bubrick\, senior director of the Anxiety Disorders Center\, Child Mind Institute. “Getting help early is crucial in giving people the tools they need to feel better. We just need to start the conversation.” \nAnxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenge in the U.S.\, impacting 54% of females and 46% of males\, with age seven being the median age of onset\, according to the World Health Organization. While anxiety disorders are highly treatable\, only one-third of those suffering receive treatment. Everyone involved in the development of “Angst” has a personal experience with anxiety–from the producers to the interviewees. \n“The conversation surrounding mental health really hits home for me\,” said the well-known athlete Phelps. “Many people don’t understand how debilitating mental illness truly can be\, and even more than that\, how common it is\, yet people are afraid to have the serious discussions about it. I welcomed the opportunity to be a part of Angst to further the dialogue around mental health and to help people understand the impact anxiety has on our mental state and encourage people\, especially kids\, to ask for help.” \nThis film and reception is funded by a grant from the Presbyterian Church\, Mental Health Ministries. The grant was given to Wilton Presbyterian Church last year and also funded the Day of Recovery last November. \nFree tickets are now available and space is limited! The screening will be held at Wilton Presbyterian Church at 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 26. Tickets can be reserved online. \nContact Shannon White via email with any questions.

SUMMARY:Ambler Farm's Maple Syrup Tap-a-Tree Program
DESCRIPTION:Learn the science and history of maple sugaring by being a hands-on part of the process. There will be two training sessions offered; only ONE session is required for training. On that day you will choose a tree and hang your bucket that will collect sap. We will send regular updates on the running of the sap so you can come to Ambler Farm to collect sap from your tree. We will boil down the sap in our sugar shack and send each family home with their very own bottle of Ambler Farm maple syrup. \nPlease join us for one training session on Feb. 1\, either at 10 a.m. OR 1 p.m.. \nThe season runs from early February to mid-March. Maple syrup production is winter farming and\, therefore\, weather dependent. A typical season is five weeks long. If you are traveling during February or March\, we will collect sap for you. \nEnrollment limited to 110 families. This program sold out quickly in previous years\, so please do not wait to sign up! The number of trees at the Farm is limited\, so we are unable to accommodate late requests or wait lists. \nCost:  $60 per member family\, $65 per non-member family \nRegistration opens to members on Jan. 2\, non-members on Jan. 17\, space permitting.
