This Week in Westville is your go-to source for news, events, activities and goings-on in the Westville community. Like NPR and other user-supported media, much of our operations rely on the support of our "local listeners" - you, the reader. In order for the Westville Village Renaissance Alliance to continue providing this valuable community service, we ask you to donate or join WVRA as a Village Person today! Beyond the e-news, WVRA is working every day to make Westville a brighter, safer, more vibrant place to be.

New exhibit, "A Slug's Life: Facing the Climate Endgame," Tells an Important Environmental Message with Animals and Art "Marvel at the fascinating forms and adaptations of animals from ocean reefs and freshwater streams - and discover the important warnings they can tell us - in "A Slug's Life: Facing the Climate Endgame," a special exhibit that showcases live creatures with their representations in art, opening Jan. 16 in The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. Stars of the new exhibit are a group of mollusks called nudibranchs known for their striking forms and brilliant colors. There are some 3,000 species of nudibranchs spread throughout the world's oceans - from cold-water habitats to tropical seas, and from shallow waters to deeper than 8,000 feet. (Some two dozen are found in Long Island Sound.) In addition to live nudibranchs and other mollusks, "A Slug's Life" will feature nudibranchs depicted in onyx and marble sculptures by Gar Waterman of New Haven, as well as nudibranch photographs by divers from all around the world. "This exhibit represents a revolutionary new approach for The Maritime Aquarium, and one that is relatively unique among aquariums," said Jason Patlis, the Aquarium's president and CEO. "By bringing together live animals, sculptures and photographic images to showcase these really remarkable animals and their fight for survival against climate change, we are telling a powerful story to multiple audiences through multiple media..."

He's relaxed, legs folded atop each other as if he's got nothing but time. Two mittens peek out, thick enough to shield him from the bitter cold. From just above a blue face mask, peach-colored skin and two tufts of bright white hair complete the look..." Click HERE to comment and read full article. CHAPEL HAVEN ALUM SEEKS APARTMENT
