Evidence of how our stone age ancestors lived and worked is being uncovered on a daily basis underneath blanket bog near Ballycastle, where a system of small walled fields is emerging.

A management consultant and engineering teacher, Brown is one of at least five candidates who have taken out papers to run for two open seats on the committee. He faces incumbent Andrew McDevitt as well as Rebecca Stronck, Pamela Pietrowski and Joe Hicks.
Friday was the last day papers were available. They are due back to the town clerk s office on Tuesday. As of Monday, 12 candidates had taken out papers across all open seats.
Saying it’s healthier for athletes, parks officials last week voted in favor of a recommendation to keep using pesticides on New Canaan athletic fields where it’s legal to do so.
Referring to a consultant’s report that compared the surface hardness of a grass field treated with pesticides (Conner Field off of Farm Road) versus one that’s pesticide-free (Saxe Middle School’s), members of the Parks & Recreation Commission voted 7-1 during their regular meeting Dec. 9 to recommend to the Board of Selectmen that New Canaan continue a midsummer application of chemicals on fields at Conner, Mead Park and Waveny.
