Wesley Heights resident in Shelton displays paintings at art show
SHELTON - Jim Horahan, a resident of Wesley Heights, recently shared his paintings and artwork at an art show at Wesley Village.
Linda Fera, activity director at Wesley Heights, discovered Horahan had quite a collection of artwork in his apartment as well as in a storage unit.
“I was so surprised to find he had this hidden talent,” Fera said. “The artwork in his apartment was impressive on its own, but when I saw the photos of his other pieces, I just decided we needed to do this for him.”
Horahan, who is in his 70s, only started to paint about 20 years ago.
He is completely self-taught and has created hundreds of pieces. Many of them are kept by family, while others hang in prestigious offices throughout Manhattan.

“My dad had a gallery in Westport for some time," said Kathy McNeil, Horahan’s daughter who attended the show with her daughter Maggie. “He finds true joy in it,” she said.
Fera commented on how Horahan “was completely in his element,” while setting up for the show and staging his pieces.
Karen Diez, Horahan’s other daughter, and Louis, his grandson, also attended the show. According to Karen, Louis is the family member who inherited his grandfather’s artistic ability.
“He really is very talented,” she said.
Horahan is just one of the many talented residents at Wesley Village.
Throughout the year, each of the communities on campus host similar events to showcase residents’ artwork, collections, and memorabilia.

Ansonia Police thank public for continued help in missing child case
 |
| Vanessa Morales |
Sharing from the Ansonia Police Facebook page:
"Three months ago today the Ansonia Police Department began our investigation into the disappearance of one year old Vanessa Morales. We continue to follow leads and information provided by the public.
"The department would like to thank everyone for their assistance and ask that they continue to keep Vanessa's picture and story in the public eye and on social media. The items posted in December by the press and on social media have still not been located, pictures are attached to this post.
"As we have stated in the past, if the person who has Vanessa is afraid of being arrested, the circumstances of how she came to be in their custody are irrelevant. Our only goal is to locate Vanessa safe and unharmed so she can be reunited with her family. Thank for your continued assistance and support.
"Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ansonia Police at 203-735-1885 or through TIP411 at https://www.tip411.com/tips/new?alert_group_id=21553
