Wendi Cahill '95 at Molten Java
From 2011 top Bethel buzz:
Change is good. So thinks Wendy Cahill, owner of the award-winning Bethel coffeehouse, Molten Java. On Friday, November 4, 2011, Cahill announced plans to expand and move her successful coffeehouse to a new, larger location at 213 Greenwood Ave.
The spacious turn-of-the-century Victorian mansion is located in Dolan Plaza, right next to the newly opened Peachwave Yogurt. Enjoying 8-and-a-half years at the current, soon to be former location, 102 Greenwood Ave., Cahill said it was time to expand “because that’s what my customers want and need.”

David writes, "I finished the installation for the the Norwalk train station commission. There are 17 cast aluminum sculptures installed on the railing posts in the old station section. The sculptures are 3D narratives of Norwalk history."
The Norwalk Parking Authority invited artists to submit proposals back in April for the SoNo station public art project. In September the NPA chose the artists to create the permanent installations. The team of David Boyajian, Matt Rink and Vincent Appel are creating a series of aluminum sculptures that depict the history of Norwalk, such as an oyster boat, lighthouse, hat and hatbox. They will be installed on the railing post caps throughout the station lobby.

THE JOURNAL OF THE CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
I received the following letter regarding CT Review:
December 13, 2011
Dear Colleagues:
As the fall semester draws to a close, we are pleased to inform you that Connecticut Review, the literary journal of the Connecticut State University System, will continue to
be published as it has been since 1967. While the publication was in jeopardy for a time, through the diligent efforts of faculty and administrators committed to its continuation, you should begin seeing the Fall issue on campus shortly.
There have been, however, a number of changes—in part as a result of necessary budget reductions. You may first notice some revisions to the masthead of the publication, its binding, and the initial pages. The publication name, Connecticut Review, is now featured more prominently. The number of pages is slightly changed; so is the manner in which artwork is presented in the journal.
The distribution method has been modified as well. As you know, Connecticut Review has previously been distributed free of charge to all interested faculty and staff. Beginning this academic year, a reduced number of copies will be distributed to each of the CSUS campuses. Rather than being sent directly to individual faculty members, the journals
will arrive at each department and other key venues on campus. We would appreciate
your seeking out a copy from a colleague, and passing it along afterwards to others who
may be interested. You may also read it on the Connecticut Review website www.ct.edu/ctreview, which is to be updated shortly to include the Fall 2011 issue.
We greatly appreciate your continued support for Connecticut Review. Have a wonderful holiday season!
Sincerely,
Louise H. Feroe, Acting Chancellor
Connecticut State University System

WCSU theatre arts department
Western Connecticut State University will stage Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, “A Christmas Carol,” at 3 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10, and 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2011, in the Berkshire Theatre in Berkshire Hall on the WCSU Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury. Tickets will be $10 for adults and $7 for children.

Bass master plays at WestConn
Robert Miller, Staff Writer
Being right is overrated, according to master bassist John Patitucci.
"I try a lot of different things and learn by trial and error," he told students at Western Connecticut State University last week as he prepared them for an evening concert in which he'd play with a half-dozen small jazz groups. "I've learned a lot by doing it wrong."
But in talking to the students, Patitucci stressed one of the essential qualities of jazz. Quoting another bass great, Rufus Reid, Patitucci said the best music is made "when people agree."

Bridget writes, "Here is a sneak peek of the forth-coming holiday card I was commissioned to illustrate by Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust.
The proceeds from the sales of the cards will go toward the feeding the animals who reside at Flanders.
The card's design incorporates some of the resident Shetland sheep and an invented likeness of artist Natalie Van Vleck as their shepherdess.
Natalie Van Vleck was an artist, farmer, and an environmentalist.She had the vision and foresight to preserve the property that gave her such creative inspiration from the impact of a beginning trend of suburban sprawl developing in the 1960's. Her vision remains an enduring gift to residents and visitors to the town of Woodbury.
