<p><strong style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">HARTFORD, CT – Senator Tony Hwang (R-Newtown)&nbsp;</strong><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">today testified before the Government Oversight Committee in support of two crucial land conveyance bills aimed at improving environmental sustainability land use and supporting the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary Foundation both parcels of land are in Newtown.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">The two pieces of legislation,&nbsp;</span><a href="https://cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&amp;which_year=2025&amp;bill_num=1562" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(66, 133, 244);">Senate Bill 1562</a>&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">and&nbsp;</span><a href="https://cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&amp;which_year=2025&amp;bill_num=1564" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(66, 133, 244);">Senate Bill 1564</a><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">, address important amendments to previous land conveyances, ensuring that both open space preservation and community-driven initiatives remain a priority.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">“Both of these bills present the unique opportunity to balance economic development with environmental preservation and sustainability, and establishment of land protection area and a non-profit institution that can be beneficial in both aspects,” remarked Senator Hwang. “At the end of the day this can be an asset to all taxpayers and environmental stewardship.”</span></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">Senate Bill 1562 –&nbsp;</strong><em style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">An Act Changing the Authorized Use of a Parcel of State Land Previously Conveyed to the Town of Newtown&nbsp;</em><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">seeks to remove the deed restriction on a parcel of state land originally conveyed to the town for economic development purposes. The bill would allow for the land to be repurposed for open space or recreational use, prioritizing the environmental and social value of this land for the residents of Newtown.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">Senator Hwang emphasized the importance of land preservation, saying,&nbsp;</span><em style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">"</em><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">We have an important societal responsibility to protect, and to teach that to our community and future generations. Open space and ecological preservation is of utmost importance. Changing the current economic development conveyance to open space and recreational use will allow Newtown to preserve valuable green space and provide a safe, accessible place for future generations to enjoy. It is a balance, but ultimately this can be a win-win opportunity</span><em style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">."</em></p><p><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">Senator Hwang also highlighted that Deep Brook, which runs close to the property, is one of only nine streams in Connecticut with a Class 1 Wild Trout Management Area designation. This status reflects its high water quality and support for naturally reproducing cold water species such as wild trout. Senator Hwang emphasized that the brook must be protected to maintain its ecological integrity.</span></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">Senate Bill 1564</strong><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">&nbsp;–&nbsp;</span><em style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">An Act Amending a Prior Conveyance of a Parcel of State Land to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, Inc.</em><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">&nbsp;– aims to amend a prior conveyance of land to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary Foundation, Inc. The amendment would remove the technical language restriction on leasing the parcel and permit the land to be used as security for a loan, providing the foundation with the financial flexibility it needs to continue its mission. This change was guided by CT State Attorney General’s office to legally ensure the foundation to secure funding to support its programs, including animal therapy and community outreach and provide collateral protection.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">"I’m proud to support the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, which is committed to an important community mission to&nbsp;</span>enrich the lives of all beings by promoting compassion and acceptance. By honoring the bond between animals, humans and the environment<span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">," Senator Hwang said. "By allowing them to leverage this land for financial flexibility, we ensure they have the resources to enable the Foundation to access necessary financing to build a sustainable, eco-compliant educational center. This center would serve not only as a hub for environmental stewardship and animal welfare but also as a destination for eco-tourism and nature-based education. Located near the delicate and ecologically significant 6 Commerce Road property and the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, this project represents a model of responsible development that complements conservation goals."</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">“I understand concerns regarding the use of state-conveyed land as collateral, and I do not take this step lightly. Over the past 12 years, the Foundation has raised more than $9 million in contributions, operated without debt, and maintained a track record of conservative financial management,”&nbsp;</span><strong style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">stated Jenny Hubbard, President of Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary</strong><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">. “This history of sound stewardship is precisely why the risk of foreclosure remains a highly unlikely scenario. Nevertheless, should such an event ever occur, legal safeguards are in place to ensure the parcel’s use would remain aligned with the original conveyance purpose. We are unwavering in our commitment to protecting the land entrusted to us and to honoring its intended role as a sanctuary and nature preserve for generations to come. We will continue to prioritize strong financial governance, resource efficiency, and donor accountability as the foundation of our operational and mission-driven success.”</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(49, 49, 49);">Support for both bills reflects Senator Hwang’s leadership in listening to his constituents . This proposal reflects a commitment to supporting his community and fostering opportunities for an alternative method of sustainable economic development, while protecting environmental education and sustainability while empowering nonprofit organizations to thrive and achieve its mission.</span></p>

Products are carefully sourced to ensure quality and value. The history of the Pet Pantry began in 1945 with World War II Army Air Forces servicemen, Mort Davis, and Jac Cohen. The pair formed their alliance over a British puppy adopted by Davis while stationed in wartime England. After accomplishing a stateside transfer for the lucky pup, the two remained friends, joining forces in the pet food business. Davis passed away in the late ‘60s, but Cohen soldiered on with their enterprise through 1995, when the business was purchased by Barry Jacobson and his sons, Adam and Ari, who run the business today.</p><p>When the business was re-conceived in 1995, the large warehouse space, which was home to the original Pet Pantry, was converted into a more modern shopping experience, and a new business model was born. The success of the reformatted business paved the way for additional locations. Today, these locations include Rye, Larchmont, and Scarsdale in Westchester County (New York) and New Canaan, Wilton, Riverside, and Fairfield in Fairfield County (Connecticut).</p><p>Six out of the seven locations (Scarsdale, Rye, Riverside, Wilton, New Canaan, and Fairfield) have self-serve dog washrooms and host “Clean Your Paws for a Cause” fundraisers with local entities. Pet Pantry also feeds local K-9 Units free of charge in Fairfield and Westchester County and sponsors New Canaan Dog Days, Fairfield Dog Days, Puttin' on the Dog, Fairfield Harvest Market &amp; Pet Parade, and Greenwich Howl &amp; Prowl.

<p>Fairfield, CT - The Bruce S. Kershner Gallery at Fairfield Public Library invites the public to a reception for “Viewpoints”, the show of paintings by Clayton Liotta, Cathryn Falwell and Jean Benoit on Thursday,&nbsp;June 12 from 5:30 to 7:30pm. They will talk about their work at 6pm. The show can be seen from June 7 to July 26 during library hours at 1080 Old Post Road in Fairfield. See&nbsp;<a href="http://www.fairfieldpubliclibrary.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.fairfieldpubliclibrary.org</a></p><p><strong>Clayton Liotta&nbsp;</strong>is a self-taught, American born artist who has been involved in the arts, in one form or another, his entire life. He has worked in a large variety of media including; film, stone, wood, paint, pastel, oil pencil, wire, paper mâche, charcoal and graphite. His subject matter has run the gambit from the real to the surreal, with pieces ranging in size from an eight and a half foot tall “Grizzly Bear” made out of chicken wire, to a tiny “Hand”, carved from the graphite on the point of a pencil.</p><p>Clayton’s work can be seen at several local Galleries in Connecticut as well as numerous exhibitions held throughout the year at various locations. The artist can be found these days working and living quietly in his New Milford CT. studio.</p><p>Clayton states, “I create pieces that move me in some way and make me smile first...And my hope is that they then do the same for anyone viewing my work. In my opinion, Art should not be about pretension!...It should be about simply sharing one's views of the world around them with others. I am a serious artist but I don't take myself too seriously, if that makes any sense?”</p><p><strong>Cathryn Fallwell&nbsp;</strong>received her BFA in Art from the University of Connecticut, where she studied printmaking with Gus Mazzocca and drawing with Anthony Pratt. Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries including The Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset, Maine, The Atrium Gallery in Lewiston, Maine, The Beach Museum of Art in Manhattan, Kansas, and the West Hartford Art League.&nbsp;She is&nbsp;also the author and&nbsp;illustrator of more than 25&nbsp;picture books for children.</p><p>Cathryn says,“Trees have always had a fascination for me, and walking in the woods brings me both peace and inspiration.&nbsp;My current work, done in charcoal, relief print and collage, is a translation of my exploration of the natural environment."</p><p><strong>Jean Benoit</strong>&nbsp;is a self-taught artist who was born in Haiti.&nbsp;At an early age the artist was exposed to an array of art forms from Historic plays which included Folklore Dances to traditional artisan arts. In Primary School where he sat behind a small wooden desk in Port-Au-Prince staring out the window, he would often be lost in the majestic beauty of the mountains surrounding the country side.&nbsp;It was there&nbsp;that he drew his first comic book character.&nbsp;</p><p>At the age of 12 he migrated to America. Exposure to an abundance of cultural diversity and contemporary ideas helped set forth his artistic journey. He has devoted&nbsp;himself to be a lifetime student of the arts. His creative endeavors are labors of love. He draws inspiration from all aspects of the universe. His work has been shown in numerous galleries.</p>
