SUMMARY:Author Talk:  Lee Mandel – Sterling Hayden's Wars
DESCRIPTION:Author Lee Mandel sheds light on the private wars of Sterling Hayden\, examining his personal life\, custody battles–which included kidnapping his four children–alcohol and substance abuse\, and depression. \nSterling Hayden was a Hollywood actor who appeared in well-known films including The Asphalt Jungle\, Dr. Strangelove and The Godfather.

SUMMARY:Wilton’s Architecture: An Update to the Historic House Survey
DESCRIPTION:An illustrated talk by architectural historians Stacey Vairo and Lucas Karmazinas\nAll are welcome! Reception to follow. \nOn Thursday\, Sept. 27 from 7-8:30 p.m. the public is cordially invited to an illustrated talk given by architectural historians Stacey Vairo of Scheller Preservation Associates and Lucas Karmazinas of FuturePast Preservation at the Wilton Historical Society. The pair has conducted a historic house survey primarily focused on buildings dating from 1920-1940 in Wilton\, of which there are over 400. In all\, about 160 structures have been added to Wilton’s Historic Resource Inventory. \nThe presentation will include information about how the survey was conducted and used\, interesting finds\, areas that would be appropriate to be studied for historic district designation and much more. The project has been funded by a Survey and Planning grant of $30\,000 from Connecticut’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) which was awarded to the Society in late 2016. At the lecture\, owners of any buildings that appear on the lists will be able to pick up a copy of their home’s history. \nPlease register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nVairo and Karmazinas conducted the survey using a combination of research and a “windshield survey\,” meaning they literally drove around Wilton looking at structures from the road or right of way (inventory surveys do not require access to the interior or rear of the structure)\, taking photos as they documented. Some of the styles of the period include Colonial Revival\, craftsman/bungalow\, Spanish Eclectic\, and Tudor revival\, plus the distinctive stone houses designed by Westport architect Frazier Peters\, and the stately homes of Wilton’s Nelson Breed. They consulted old maps\, researched within the town’s land records\, genealogy records\, the Society’s archives\, and other resources including the History Room at the Wilton Library. Discussions with Carol Russell\, town historian\, and Bob Russell\, author of the definitive history of Wilton\, and Society co-director/chair of the Historic District Commission Allison Gray Sanders\, and local architect Rob Sanders were also helpful.

SUMMARY:“Inside Genealogy Today:  How Family History Became a Growth Industry” Wilton Historical Soc. Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The ease and fast results of DNA testing\, along with ever-growing\, on-line databases of census records\, historic newspapers\, ship manifests\, and sites that can help you “find a grave” (and much more!) have prompted a host of people to embark on a search for their family’s origins. The popular genealogy-based program\, “Finding your Roots\,” hosted by Henry Louis Gates\, Jr. on PBS aims to “get into the DNA of American Culture” as he explores the genealogy of celebrities\, revealing exciting and unexpected results. \nWho knows what you might find? Family history researchers now have a vastly expanded universe of information to mine. Certified genealogist Fred Hart\, Jr. will discuss modern vs. traditional methods of researching genealogy\, including using technology\, DNA testing and internet “trees.” He will talk about how (and why) the field has changed in positive and/or negative directions\, and comment on how the field of genealogy has expanded\, sparking renewed interest in the field. A light lunch will be served. \nFred Hart (b. 1937) is a native of Norwalk\, Connecticut and a graduate of Dartmouth College (AB\, 1958) and the Thayer School of Engineering (MSEE\, 1960). He has held the Certified Genealogist credential since 1993 and accepts clients when his availability permits. He is an active member in several genealogical organizations including Connecticut Ancestry Society where he has held the position of genealogist for many years\, and the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society\, where he serves on the editorial Board of its journal\, and where he was elected a Fellow of that Society in October\, 2015. \nMr. Hart has a Wilton connection\, too\, saying “You might want to call me Genealogist Fred Hart Jr. since some might remember my father of the same name who was a Wilton resident for many years before passing away in 1990. My mother\, Eleanor Hart\, who died there in 2007\, was very active in the Hurlbutt Street Schoolhouse and other Wilton organizations.” \nWilton Historical Society members are free; the cost for non-members is $10 per person. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nThe Confucius family tree consists of 80 volumes containing two million names! \n“The revival of China’s love-affair with the ideas of Confucius has taken another significant step forward after 1\,000 members of China’s most powerful aristocratic clan unveiled the first complete edition of their family tree for more than 70 years. Amid the blast of horns and the thumping of drums which shook the ground at the great temple in the sage’s ancestral town of Qufu\, the 80-volume genealogy containing 2 million names was unveiled by the clan’s leading elder in China. . . . The Kong ‘Clan Register’\, which stretches back more than 1\,000 years\, had not been updated since 1937. According to custom it should be revised at 30-year intervals but in 1967 the terror and persecution of the Cultural Revolution made that impossible. . . . It was a history that was brutally interrupted during the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976 when Confucius – “Kong Fuzi” in Chinese – was reviled as a “stinking corpse” by Chairman Mao who’s Red Guards were ordered to destroy Confucian artifacts and persecute his ancestors as symbols of feudal oppression. . . In a nod to modern times\, the register will contain the names of women for the first time and will be available on a computer database. A copy will be deposited at China’s National Library in Beijing.” — excerpted from a Sept. 25\, 2009 article in The Telegraph by Peter Foster

SUMMARY:Parenting Talk:  Children Do Well When They Can–Identifying & Solving Problems That Cause Challenging Behaviors
DESCRIPTION:Parent presentation by Ross W. Greene\, Ph.D.\, author of The Explosive Child; Lost at School; and Raising Human Beings \nChildren do well when they can; when they can’t\, it is because of lagging skills and unsolved problems. All children have times when they struggle to handle life’s expectations. Whether a child responds by whining\, sulking\, or crying\, or in ways that are more concerning–hitting\, swearing\, or biting–the goal of parents and caregivers is to identify and solve the underlying problems that cause the behavior. \nJoin organizers to learn from child psychologist Ross W. Greene\, Ph.D.\, how to understand children’s challenging episodes\, identify unsolved problems and begin to solve problems. Dr. Greene is the originator of the innovative\, empirically-supported approach to children’s behavioral challenges known as Collaborative & Proactive Solutions. \nIn the 2018-2019 school year\, the Wilton Public Schools will be learning more about Dr. Greene’s model. The district has worked with Dr. Greene to create a plan to help teachers\, faculty\, administration\, staff\, and parents learn how to help students with effective self-regulation and problem-solving strategies. This will begin with keynote addresses for elementary\, middle and high school faculty on Oct. 8\, which is a professional development day for district staff. In addition to working with faculty\, Dr. Greene will also present to parents and other concerned adults to share this model with our community. \nAdmission is free; online registration is recommended. Please email Genevieve Eason with questions. \nSponsored by:  Wilton Public Schools\, SPED*NET Wilton\, Wilton Youth Council\, and Wilton Youth Services

DESCRIPTION:A tragedy has happened due to an architectural flaw by Douglas Layton. He is sentenced after a guilty verdict but is it really as a result of his design. After prison he needs to assume a new identity and rebuild his life. But he soon finds himself digging up the past in a way he never anticipated. If the collapse was not an accident … who caused it? And why? \nThe Fallen Architect is the latest from novelist Charles Belfoure\, the nationally bestselling author of The Paris Architect\, who’s been called “an up and coming Ken Follett” (Booklist). An architect by profession\, Belfoure graduated from the Pratt Institute and Columbia University. His area of specialty is historic preservation\, and he has published several architectural histories. He has been a freelance writer for The Baltimore Sun and The New York Times\, and lives in Maryland. \nQ&A will follow the talk. No charge. Registration highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Stop The Bleed–Presented by Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps (WVAC) and Our Lady of Fatima (OLF)
DESCRIPTION:Today we live in a world where terrorism\, the actions of unstable people\, and the dangerous impulses of friends and relatives are very real and becoming increasingly more frequent. \nMassive bleeding from any cause\, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR\, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques\, including how to use their hands\, dressings\, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding\, within five to 10 minutes. \nHowever\, anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. \nThe Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps is offering this FREE training to teens in cooperation with Our Lady of Fatima’s Youth Group. \nFAQs: \nAre there registration requirements? \nYes. It is important that each student be given adequate time and instruction with an instructor. We need to know in advance as to how many participants to expect\, to ensure we have enough supplies and instructors on hand\, thereby making advanced registration required. \nParticpants will be required to fill out a waiver that they should complete and bring to the event. This waiver will be sent to you via email after registering. Registration can be completed online. \nAre there any age restrictions for attending this class? \nDue to the nature of the content of this paticular class\, the participants should be at least 13 years of age. The target audience for this particular class is teens between 13-18 years old. \nIs there a cost associated with this event? \nNo. This training is offered free of charge as a service to the community by the Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps. That being said\, WVAC is 100% a volunteer\, non-for-profit 501(c)3 organization–and not a department within the Town of Wilton–which relies heavily on donations from the community. Donations are by no means a prerequisite for attending this course but should you so desire\, you will have the opportunity to donate when registering for the event through this site\, or at the event itself. \nWho can I contact with any questions? \nYou may contact Brian McDermott\, WVAC vice president and community events coordinator via email. Additionally\, Mara Fleming\, coordinator of Youth Ministry at OLF via email.
