By Patrick L. Sullivan

Freshman U.S. Congress- man Jahana Hayes (D-5) made several trips to the Northwest Corner in 2019. She met with the Northwest Hills Council of Governments in May; helped celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Cornwall Library, also in May; attended the Great Country Mutt Show in Cornwall in June; and the 25th anniversary of the 21st Century Fund for Housatonic Valley Regional High School at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville in October. She also made several smaller unannounced visits, including one with emergency services volunteers in Falls Village.

By Debra A. Aleksina

CORNWALL — Tory Estern Jadow has found a passion and purpose for her filmmaking. “I love stories, especially ones that explore the human condition,” said Jadow, a 20-year veteran of the New York City film industry who now lives in West Cornwall, where she spent much of her childhood. She is a staunch advocate for people and for causes that she PHOTO BY TOM BROWN believes in.

By Leila Hawken

SHARON — Persistent drainage concerns around the town Green were solved during a summer-long construction project that concluded in the fall with the final reseeding of the grass. The project to dig up the Green and provide for better drainage patterns was slowed because experts could not be certain where existing buried underground lines were located. Digging proceeded gingerly throughout the summer. Drainage was further controlled by installing new granite curbing along Upper Main Street, not only to direct water away from the surface of the Green, but also to discourage parked cars from disturbing the grass. The project and its completion were a highlight of 2019, having assured that the Green’s beauty will continue to be a source of local pride for years to come. The job was finished ahead of schedule and under budget. 2019: Ella Clark retires after 31 years of helping those in need By Leila Hawken
