Beasley traveled to Germany in November 2006 and met with the students under the auspices of the Jewish Museum there and told them of her recollections as a 9-year-old surviving the Holocaust.

Their paintings and collages, part of an exhibit called “Memories of a Childhood Lost,” will remain on display at Earthplace,The Nature Discovery Center, through April 13 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

Oh, Shea

Shea, a 2-year-old Boston Terrier, romps at Westport’s Compo Beach on Saturday.This is the last weekend of the season dogs are allowed at the beach—the ban goes into effect Tuesday until Oct. 1. Shea is owned by Brandy Stanton of Westport who named her dog in honor of New York’s Shea Stadium. She felt that while the stadium, now in its final season as home of the Mets, will be replaced next year by a new stadium with a new name, her dog will help keep the name Shea alive.
