<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Those serving at Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) Corry Station learn the importance of information warfare as part of modern warfare.</span></p><p>Continuing the tradition of maritime superiority through information warfare is Capt. Sarah Sherwood, a native of Wilton.</p><p>Sherwood is a 1997 graduate of Wilton High School and earned a degree from Northwestern University in applied mathematics in 2001. She later earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Maryland in 2007.</p><p>Sherwood joined the Navy 24 years ago. Today, Sherwood serves as the commanding officer of CIWT. This is her second command tour, with her first being in Bahrain at the Navy Information Operations Command.</p><p>“I joined the Navy because I wanted to serve my country,” Sherwood said. "My dad and granddad both served in the Navy. Their officers’ swords hung above our mantle, and I thought that would be a great way to serve."</p><p>“I grew up in a great town that afforded me a lot of opportunities,” Sherwood said. "I also had a lot of friends and family who encouraged me along the way."</p><p>Located at Naval Air Station Pensacola’s Corry Station, CIWT is one of the largest Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) learning centers. Through its “street to fleet” focus, NETC recruits civilians and transforms them into skilled warfighters ready to meet the Navy’s current and future needs. With four schoolhouse commands, two detachments and nine training sites throughout the United States and Japan, CIWT provides instruction for more than 26,000 students every year, delivering information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services.</p><p>The CIWT domain, along with all other Navy training commands, is transforming and innovating its training programs through Ready, Relevant Learning (RRL), a pillar of Sailor 2025. Sailor 2025 is a program used to improve and modernize personnel management and training systems to more effectively recruit, develop, manage, reward and retain the force of tomorrow. It focuses on empowering sailors, updating policies, procedures, and operating systems, and providing the right training at the right time in the right way to ensure sailors are ready for the fleet.</p><p>The U.S. Navy is celebrating its 250th birthday this year.</p><p>According to Navy officials, “America is a maritime nation and for 250 years, America’s Warfighting Navy has sailed the globe in defense of freedom.”</p><p>With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to recruiting and retaining talented people from across the rich fabric of America.</p><p>Sherwood serves a Navy that operates far forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation's prosperity and security.</p><p>Sherwood has had many wonderful opportunities to make a difference during her military service.</p><p>“I'm most proud of the time I served in command,” Sherwood said. "My first command was in Bahrain, and this is my second command here in Pensacola. My job is to take care of our sailors so they can complete the mission. I'm here to break down any barriers that stand in their way."</p><p>Sherwood can take pride in serving America through military service.</p><p>“Serving in the Navy is a self-fulfilling civic duty,” Sherwood said. "The Navy is the first one on the scene when the Nation needs to defend democracy and freedom. We're sailing around the world serving as global partners. One of my favorite parts of serving in the Navy has been serving in different countries, including Australia, South Korea and Bahrain."</p><p>Sherwood is grateful to others for helping make her Navy career possible.</p><p>“I want to thank my mom for all her unwavering support,” Sherwood added. "I also want to thank my husband, Mike, for being my rock on this Navy adventure.”</p>

<p>Wilton’s First Selectman recently nominated ASML—Wilton’s largest employer and a dedicated community partner—for the 2025 Aquarion Environmental Champion Award. We are pleased to announce that Aquarion has selected ASML as this year’s honoree in the Business category.</p><p>Since 2010, Aquarion has recognized outstanding advocates, leaders, and innovators who are making a significant difference in the ecological health of our state. Environmental Champions are selected in four categories: Adult, Non-Profit Organization, Business, and Student (Grades 9–12). Nominees are considered based on their efforts to preserve Connecticut’s natural resources, their fresh approach to sustainability, and their leadership in promoting environmental vitality statewide.</p><p>ASML was honored as this year’s <strong>Large Business Environmental Champion</strong> in recognition of their comprehensive Environmental Management System—an integrated framework embedded across all aspects of their business. This system enables the company to track energy usage and carbon emissions, improving productivity and efficiency through three key initiatives:</p><ol><li><strong>Greenhouse Gas Neutrality by 2025</strong> – ASML aims to make all of its manufacturing plants and campus buildings greenhouse gas neutral by the end of 2025 through renewable energy use and carbon offset strategies.</li><li><strong>Sustainable Commuting and Travel</strong> – The company continues to expand environmentally responsible options for business travel and commuting, encouraging greener choices among employees.</li><li><strong>Sustainable Product Design</strong> – ASML designs products that reduce energy consumption and operational costs while enhancing performance and market reach.</li></ol><p>Looking ahead, ASML has committed to becoming greenhouse gas neutral on a global scale by 2040. They evaluate their environmental impact across the entire value chain—from supply chains and manufacturing sites to distribution logistics and product life cycles—using both internal benchmarks and third-party assessments. Their efforts are guided by ASML’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Strategy for Sustainability, which aligns with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals—an international blueprint for peace, prosperity, and environmental stewardship.</p><p>Michael Opuszynski, Program Manager in the ASML Strategy Office, shared:</p><blockquote>“ASML’s core values are Challenge, Collaborate, and Care, which drive our belief that innovation and responsibility must go hand in hand. This award reflects the hard work of our entire team—people who care deeply about doing things better, cleaner, and more sustainably, as demonstrated in our engagement with our local community as well as on the global stage through our commitment to a circular economy based on reuse and waste reduction. We are honored to share this recognition with our nonprofit community partners who work tirelessly to improve the environmental quality of our region—Ambler Farm, Norwalk River Valley Trail, Wilton Land Trust, and Woodcock Nature Center.”</blockquote><p>ASML’s presence in Wilton—as a thoughtful, forward-looking, and energized partner—continues to grow in significance. Town Hall was proud to nominate and celebrate their work as leading environmental advocates in Connecticut.</p><p>At the awards ceremony held at the Beardsley Zoo on June 7, the First Selectman shared these words from the nomination:</p><blockquote>“Their importance to our town and state cannot be overstated. They have proven time and again to be visionary leaders in science and technology, business, community advocacy, and now the environment. Not only is ASML a world leader in advanced manufacturing, but they grow and nurture skilled talent, are responsible stewards of the environment, and champions of our local nonprofits. We could not be prouder of their achievements and congratulate them on this well-deserved recognition.”</blockquote><p>In honor of their achievement, Aquarion has awarded ASML $5,000 to donate to an environmental nonprofit of their choosing—ensuring that their impact will extend even further.</p><p>Please join us in offering ASML our heartiest congratulations.</p>

<h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">#wiltoniswhereyoubelong Traveling Community&nbsp; Mural: A Visual Journey of Belonging through the Town of Wilton</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Wilton Pride, in partnership with Wilton Library and the Wilton Youth Council’s Coalition for Youth, is thrilled to announce the town’s first-ever traveling mural.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The piece is an initiative to bring art, community, and a powerful message of belonging to the forefront of Wilton. This unique art installation, inspired by the #WiltonIsWhereYouBelong campaign, was commissioned by Wilton Pride, and the Wilton Youth Council’s Wilton Coalition for Youth.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Designed by local abstract artist Brian Kaspr, this traveling mural was brought to life by the Wilton Community at the Third Annual Wilton Pride Be You festival. Under Kaspr’s direction, the community was invited to roll up their sleeves, pick up a paintbrush, and become part of the vision in this interactive abstract art.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Kaspr explains, “This mural is a visual reminder that with simple community participation towards a common goal we can make something larger than ourselves and altogether new. We all belong and together we are whole.”</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The mural will not be confined to a single location, but instead will embark on a year-long journey, gracing various community organizations throughout the town. Each stop will offer residents and visitors a fresh opportunity to engage with the piece.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"Watching the Wilton community come together and participate in the creation of this beautiful piece of art at a festival, symbolizing belonging and acceptance, was truly powerful" said Heidi Tsapelas, Board Member, Wilton Pride. "Painting a part of the mural with my family was such a fun way to contribute to the Pride celebrations. We're so excited to spot it as it travels around town, a constant reminder that everyone is welcome here."&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This collaboration furthers the work of the Coalition's #WiltonIsWhereYouBelong campaign.&nbsp;The campaign aims to cultivate a stronger sense of belonging and promote inclusivity for all Wilton residents, regardless of background, race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Kaspar’s abstract travelling mural beautifully captures the essence of these principles, creating a compelling visual narrative. The Wilton Coalition for Youth is a network of organizations, town departments, and individuals dedicated to preventing substance misuse and promoting mental health within the community, spearheaded by the Wilton Youth Council.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">“Art has a powerful ability to cross boundaries, bringing people together through shared creative experiences and creating a strong sense of community belonging. This interactive art wall will serve as a vibrant and evolving testament to the collective spirit of belonging in Wilton, offering a dynamic way for residents of all ages and backgrounds to connect and feel included,” shared Caroline Hughes, Board Member, Wilton Pride and Senior Minister of the Wilton Congregational Church.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">“The #wiltoniswhereyoubelong mural is more than just a piece of art; it’s a living testament to our commitment to ensuring every person in Wilton feels seen, valued, and embraced for who they are. It’s a bold declaration that #WiltonIsWhereYouBelong isn’t just a slogan, but a lived experience we are actively cultivating.” Farah Masani, founder of Wilton Pride.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The mural is currently living at Wilton Library and future locations will include the Wilton Congregational Church, Wilton Presbyterian Church, Wilton Family&nbsp; YMCA, Wilton Public Schools, and Trackside, among others. The mural’s schedule will be announced in the coming weeks via Wilton Pride and Wilton Library’s respective social media channels. The community is encouraged to follow these updates and discover where this powerful symbol of belonging will appear next. If you would like to have the mural at your property, please contact </span><a href="mailto:info@wiltonpride.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">info@wiltonpride.org</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">“Wilton Library has always been a hub for community connection,” added Caroline Mandler, the Library’s Executive Director. “This traveling mural perfectly aligns with our vision to foster an environment where everyone feels welcome. We believe art has the power to unite and transform, and we look forward to this installation creating deeper bonds throughout the community.”</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The mural’s journey across Wilton will serve as a continuous invitation for all to reflect on their own sense of belonging and to actively participate in building a more inclusive community. Its presence will be a consistent reminder&nbsp; #wiltoniswhereyoubelong; just as you are.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">“The WiltonIsWhereYouBelong campaign is a wonderful collaboration between many youth-serving town partners. This amazing mural beautifully captures and continues the work in an expressive way, illustrating the essence of the WiltonIsWhereYouBelong campaign,” said Chandra Ring, Executive Director of Wilton Youth Council.&nbsp; “We are proud of all of the work to date and look forward to more activities to build and strengthen the sense of belonging for all in Wilton.”</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This project was made possible by Wilton Pride, Wilton Library, Wilton Youth Council, Wilton Presbyterian Church, SASCO River Center, Trackside, SPED*NET, Temple B’nai Chaim, Lighthouse, and personal donations.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
