NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS
August 12, 2019, The New Haven Indpendent, by Sophie Sonnenfeld-
"Westville neighbors debated how to address an uptick in property crime, at a meeting that featured a shouting match between two political candidates.
Sixty people attended the meeting, which took place Saturday afternoon on the patio of the Mitchell branch library on Harrison Street.
Since January, the Westville/ West Hills/ West Rock/ Beverly Hills/ Amity district has had 317 reported property crimes, including car break-ins, theft, and robbery.
Burglary
alone has gone up 30.2 percent since last year.
Just last Friday, homes were burglarized at 5 a.m. on West Rock and Edgewood Avenue, according to the police. An awakened West Rock man thwarted a third burglary by scaring off the intruder, and police were able to track down and arrest a suspect..." Click HERE

ARTIST TALK WITH KAREN KASSAP @BEKI
Kassap, who studied mixed media collage with Debi Pendell, says she enjoys this form of expression "because it lays apparent the dichotomy between the completed work and the many layers of paint and paper that form the foundation of the piece. The underlying support for my collages can seem chaotic and wild, and yet my goal as an artist is to draw the viewer in with something that is viscerally attractive, cohesive and sometimes quiet."
Kassap, who says she works from many sources of inspiration, including photographs she has taken and artists she admires, created these works from painted papers, printed papers, acrylic paint, acrylic gel medium, and various found objects.
"The many layers required to create the work are often completely invisible to the viewer, but their existence is a mystery that draws one in," she notes. "And sometimes, patient observation is rewarded with a glimpse of what lies beneath the surface - in the same way intimacy makes visible the hidden layers of oneself."
Kassap says her artwork is an expression of her identity as a woman, a mother, a wife and a Jew. The proud triplet mom of Naomi, Myles and Sam, and the wife of Cary Caldwell, she volunteers her legal services at the Apostle Immigrant Services and works as a facilitator for the ADL Words to Action program.
Conversation with the artist will be held on Saturday, August 17 at 12:45, following the weekly services and luncheon; Sabbath rules will be observed. The exhibition closes August 20.
