SUMMARY:Reasonable Accommodations: From Secondary School to Post-Secondary School
DESCRIPTION:Students with learning differences who benefited from accommodations and modifications throughout their early education and high school are often surprised to learn that their IEP or 504 Plan is no longer enforceable once they transition to college. In higher education\, modifications no longer exist\, and while “reasonable accommodations” are available\, the process for accessing them is entirely student-driven. In addition\, in most situations\, educational rights transfer to students at age 18. At that point\, a parent’s role changes significantly: from decision-maker to advisor. \nGerri Fleming\, a former special education advocate\, will help you make sense of transition services in high school\, what to look for when deciding on a college\, and the accommodations process in higher education so you’ll be able to advise and support your teen as they transition to higher education. \nThis in-person presentation at Wilton Library is offered by SPED*NET free of charge. Register online.

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Terence Hawkins: The Rage of Achilles
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an Author Talk with Terence Hawkins\, who will speak on January 11 from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. about his first novel\, The Rage of Achilles\, first published in 2009 and republished in 2021. \nIn The Rage of Achilles\, Terence Hawkins recounts the “Iliad” as a novel and imagines a Trojan War that really happened. Though he adopts Homer’s characters\, those fabled warriors are no more noble than the scared\, tired grunts they command\, exhausted and bitter after ten years of brutal Bronze Age warfare. And however savage the fighting\, over all hangs the terrible truth that the objective of combat is not glory\, but the enslavement of the defeated. \nHis realism extends to the gods themselves. Informed by Julian Jaynes’ groundbreaking theory of the bicameral mind\, The Rage of Achilles takes place in a world in which the modern human consciousness struggles painfully to be born. The gods are only the hallucinations of men and women desperate to be told what to do in a terrifying and confusing world. \nTold in taut\, elegant prose that captures both the Homeric lyric and military grit\, The Rage of Achilles is a fast-moving take on literature’s foundational epic. \nIn addition to historical fiction\, Hawkins has written American Neolithic and the collection Turing’s Graveyard. Terence Hawkins has served as the editor of Blue Mountain Review\, and All Things Tudor\, and is now the director of the Company of Writers. He lives in Connecticut. \nElm Street Books will be selling copies of the books and Terence Hawkins will be signing books after the talk. A portion of the proceeds goes to Wilton Library. \nThe media sponsor of our author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton. \nRegistration is required. To register and see more information\, visit the Wilton Library website.

SUMMARY:Greens at Cannondale Offers Lecture with In-House Artist\, Howard L. Bonington
DESCRIPTION:The Greens at Cannondale will present an afternoon with our in-house artist\, Howard L. Bonington\, who will lecture on his book\, Aviation on Cape Cod. Join us on Friday\, Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. at the Greens at Cannondale Media Center. Following his lecture\, there will be a meet and greet with the author\, with light refreshments served. \n\n\nAviation on Cape Cod features a series of pen and ink drawings related to its history\, as well as a brief description about each drawing. Bonington’s signature pen-and-ink drawings are like a lone dory on the sea of Cape artists working in color. \n\n\nBorn in Brooklyn\, NY in 1929\, Bonington is a retired architect who was active in the profession in New York City for more than 40 years. Upon retiring to the Cape and now Wilton\, Bonington continues to expand his interest in drawing private residences\, landmarks\, scenes\, plants\, animals – and airplanes. When traveling\, he usually substitutes a sketchbook for a camera. His collection of on-site drawings numbers in the hundreds. While using watercolor and colored pencil on occasion\, he has specialized in black and white pen and ink drawings. He enjoys testing its reliance on the limited graphic options available such as weighted line work\, textures and contrasts to achieve the desired effects.

SUMMARY:Special Civil Rights Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Friday evening promises to be an exceptionally moving Shabbat experience at Temple B’nai Chaim. On January 12 at 7:30 p.m. we will honor the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, a modern day prophet who called on the shared history of oppression of Jews and African Americans as they sought a promised land. We share both a history of oppression and a responsibility to speak truth to power. Dr. King taught us all to pray with our feet as well as our mouths. \nThis will be an Interfaith service as Cantor Dunkerley welcomes the Rev. Caroline Ainsworth-Hughes of the Wilton Congregational Church to join her on the Bimah. Bonnie Heft who coordinates TBC’s Social Action Group to Fight Antisemitism and Hate has sponsored the music. Members of The Ridgefield Chorale will sing both Jewish melodies as well as the music they performed recently at the Kennedy Center honoring the 60th Anniversary of Dr. King’s I Have A Dream speech. This promises to be an evening you will definitely want to be a part of! \n
