SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids at the Wilton Historical Society This Month: Corn! From Muffins to Johnny Cakes
DESCRIPTION:According to A Taste of History by Joyce White\, “The native American grain corn\, also known as maize or Indian Corn\, has been consumed by Americans (and subsequently people all over the world) since the time of discovery of the New World\, and\, of course\, for centuries before that by the indigenous populations of all of the Americas. Cornbread is a great recipe to track through the past few centuries because it was so prolific a crop in America that it was consumed across class\, race\, and regional lines. Corn lends itself to change very easily and therefore variations of cornbread recipes through time\, in regards to types of ingredients and technological advances\, have enabled it to keep its important place in American cuisine.” \nAt the March 30 Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society\, museum educator Laurie Walker will be discussing the importance of corn in Colonial times\, and will teach the kids to make three easy\, yummy recipes that use cornmeal:  Narragansett Strawberry Cornbread\, Johnny Cakes with maple syrup and applesauce\, and a cornbread recipe dating from 1796. Participants also will get to sample a freshly baked Tasty Indian Pudding\, made according to another recipe from Colonial times. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop 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 and maple syrup tart. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nThe cost for members is $10; non-members are $15. Space is limited—please register by email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to Wilton historian Bob Russell’s book\, Wilton\, Connecticut: Three Centuries of People\, Places and Progress\, Benjamin Hickox\, an early settler of Wilton\, “built the first and longest-lasting mill in Wilton\, a grist mill at the falls of the Falls Branch\, now Comstock Brook\, behind the present day Congregational Church.” Every small town needed a mill\, and mills needed millstones. Those impressively large millstones\, which are still a common sight in Wilton\, came from local quarries. Quarry Head State Park in north Wilton\, off Ridgefield Road\, is a former quarry which produced granite blocks of varying sizes. Nearby Millstone Road speaks to one such use of the local granite. \nMost of the mills have long since vanished. With rocks grinding against each other at 110 revolutions per minute (that’s twice a second)\, many caught fire and burned. Some mills were washed down stream in flood waters\, or have been demolished to make way for newer structures.

SUMMARY:BIOFEEDBACK:  Emotional Regulation & Stress Management
DESCRIPTION:Licensed clinical psychologist Mary Murphy\, PhD will discuss and demonstrate how biofeedback works. Biofeedback\, a promising treatment for ADHD\, anxiety and stress\, allows a person to learn how to monitor and change his or her body’s reaction to stressors. \nUsing a computer or smartphone\, biofeedback software allows you to monitor your biological responses\, such as breathing rates\, muscle activity\, and heart rate. The therapy process teaches you to notice changes in your body and ways to intervene to stop the body’s reactions that cause you to feel stress. It allows you to process information more efficiently\, to improve focus\, and to interrupt the process of fight-flight-freeze\, which causes distress to so many. \nOne of the most important benefits of Biofeedback is that it can be learned relatively quickly\, while working with a trained provider\, and has the goal of transitioning to independent use. \nDuring our demonstration\, Dr. Murphy will display sample biofeedback software (HeartMath) and show participants how to use common biofeedback apps at home. \nDr. Murphy is in private practice\, in Ridgefield\, CT\, at Insight Counseling\, where she specializes in counseling\, executive function/academic coaching\, psychological testing\, and biofeedback. Her counseling practice focuses on helping adolescents and adults affected by mood disorders\, neurological conditions\, and substance use. Dr Murphy completed advanced fellowship training at the Yale School of Medicine. She is currently a professor of psychology at WestConn. \nPlease Register: info@spednetwilton.org \nQuestions/Comments: info@spednetwilton.org

SUMMARY:Wilton Library’s Human Library
DESCRIPTION:“Don’t judge a book by its cover”—but in this case\, we mean human beings\, not books! \nThe Human Library is an international movement that started in Denmark in 2000 and is now held in more than 70 countries. Wilton Library is the first non-academic library in Connecticut to receive permission from the Human Library Organization to host an event. \nOur human books are community members who have volunteered to share their stories in order to break down barriers based on appearance or identity (e.g.; age\, race\, sexual orientation\, religion\, ability\, lifestyle choices\, etc.). This is the time for open conversations between two people in a non-judgmental environment. Spend a few minutes with each “book.” It is an opportunity for those who have faced prejudice to tell their story and show people who they really are; and it is a chance for others to change their preconceived notions based on a person’s appearance or identity. \nThere is no advance registration or fee; guests are invited to come and enjoy the experience.

SUMMARY:Wilton Go Green's 2nd Annual Zero Waste Faire
DESCRIPTION:Wilton Go Green’s 2nd Annual Zero Waste Faire is a special event designed to educate\, inspire\, entertain\, and engage the town of Wilton and neighboring communities about zero waste living. By sharing information and ideas from speakers\, exhibitors\, media\, and discussions of current issues\, the Faire will help advance Zero Waste practices that benefit everyone. \nThe event will again feature a broad range of interactive exhibits to help Wilton and Fairfield County become more conscious about and involved in practicing Zero Waste living.There will be exhibits from museums\, aquariums\, and environmental organizations with many fun\, educational activities. This year’s Faire will feature more exhibitors demonstrating and selling products\, such as reusable drinking straws\, compost bins and reusable beeswax food wrap. \nNew features–like the Fix-It-Café\, a Zero Waste Store\, the Eco Fashion Show\, a Zero Waste Tiny Home and The Problem with Single Use Plastics exhibit–will add more value to the Faire. For example\, the “Fix-It-Café” will enable attendees to bring clothing in need of repair and small appliances to get fixed on-site or taken offsite for fixing; the exhibit\, “The Problem with Single Use Plastics\,” will educate the community about the negative effects of plastic on oceans\, animals and the environment\, and will offer alternatives for plastic in and outside the home. \nExhibit categories will range from home composting\, backyard farming\, zero-waste cooking\, recycling\, and food storage. There will also be a Zero Waste Feast\, games for children\, entertainment and guest speakers. \n\n\n\nAttendees are also encouraged to Recycle right at the Faire\, by bringing old electronics\, furniture and hard drives. \nNo single use plastic water bottles will be sold\, so attendees should bring their own reusable water bottle/coffee tumbler or consider buying one at the Faire. \nThe event is hosted by Wilton Go Green and organized by dynamic volunteers. This year a generous grant from the Enterprise Holdings Foundation will help pay for Faire operations. The Faire is supported by a Green Partner–Sustainne; a Silver Sponsor–The Junkluggers; and Media Partners–GOOD Morning Wilton and 95.9 The Fox. \nThere is no charge to attend\, although donations are welcome with a suggested amount of $5 per person or $10 per family. All funds raised will go to Wilton Go Green’s programs\, such as the Wilton No Idling initiative and the Zero Waste Schools program.

SUMMARY:Sharp Hill Cemetery Walk for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Sharp Hill Cemetery dates back to c. 1738 when it replaced the long lost original burying ground on Wolfpit Rd.\, and was Wilton’s principal burying place until the mid-1800s. The earliest legible stone is that of Mable Elmer with a date of January 1744. Twenty-three Revolutionary War and six French and Indian War veterans are buried here. \nParticipants will meet at the Wilton Historical Society at 11 a.m.\, then the group will walk together with museum educator Laurie Walker to the cemetery and talk about the history of the cemetery and the lives of some of the people buried there. After returning to the Historical Society\, the kids will help make their own snack\, ginger cookies decorated like headstones. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, with a maximum of $25/family; non-members are $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know?\nAccording to Wilton historian Bob Russell\, “The Sharp Hill Cemetery\, owned by the Wilton Congregational Church\, is the oldest surviving cemetery in Wilton\, dating from 1738. That year\, John Marvin gave 64 square rods (4/10 of an acre) to the “Presbyterian or Congregational Society of Wilton” as the site of a meeting house for the worship of God\, as the Society had outgrown the small building in which they had started 12 years earlier. The cemetery was to surround the new meeting house. Although the church building which was built there only lasted until 1790\, the cemetery was used actively until the mid-1800s and then was gradually replaced by Hillside Cemetery on Ridgefield Road\, which had the advantage of more space.”

SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor Judith Altmann\, A Community Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Judith Altmann\, a Holocaust survivor and speaker for the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center\, returns to Wilton on Tuesday\, March 19 to share her story with the community. \nBorn in Jasina\, Czechoslovakia\, which was invaded by the Nazis in 1939\, Altmann was arrested in 1944 and transported to Auschwitz concentration camp with her niece\, where they were selected for work\, rather than sent to the gas chambers and death. From there she was moved to Essen and Gelsenkirchen Labour camps\, where she remained until March 1945\, and later survived the “death march” that ended in the Bergen Belsen concentration camp. Sick with typhus\, Altmann was barely alive when she was liberated by the British Army in 1945. She was given the opportunity to go to Sweden\, where she lived until emigrating to the United States in 1948. \nAltmann\, who has extensive experience speaking in schools\, is a member of the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Speakers Bureau\, and is vice president of the Holocaust Child Survivors of Connecticut. \nThis presentation follows Altmann’s visit to Middlebrook where she spoke to all of the students during two school-wide assemblies. Her message is one of hope and forgiveness\, encouraging her listeners to think for themselves and speak out against injustice.
