The purchase was finalized June 30.Sandefer will continue to own and operate the Sand Road Animal Hospital in Falls Village.Cannon worked with Sandefer for more than 20 years before buying the Millerton office (which was previously owned by vet Kent Kay).“I love being the neighborhood vet here in Millerton,” said Cannon. “When I wanted to open my new practice, this is where I wanted to be. Ever since I started [in Millerton], it’s been a great experience for me.”Cannon, a holistic practitioner, is a certified animal chiropractor and is trained in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. She uses both alternative and traditional medical techniques to provide care for family pets.Cannon said she does not accept large animals as patients; she mostly works with cats, dogs, birds and “pocket pets,” such as gerbils.She said she plans to remodel the interior of the office to better suit the needs of her practice and her patients. “I plan to create a third exam room to facilitate a quiet space for acupuncture, chiropractic and laser therapy,” she said. “Our new class IV laser will aid in the treatment of arthritis, muscle aches and pains, wound healing and post surgical pain.”She offers nutritional consulting and animal dentistry and can perform surgery on location in the clinic’s operating rooms.The clinic is open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon, on Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The office is closed on Sundays.

KENT—There will be a joyful noise in St. Andrew’s Church Easter morning when a set of handbells donated to the church some 40 years ago are used for the first time by a choir currently rehearsing with music director Susan Guse.

Guse said that the church got the valuable three-octave set when Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center closed in the late 1980s and the bells were donated to the church. “The center used the bells for music therapy for younger patients. Our priest then was chaplain there and when the center closed, he brought the bells here,” she explained.

Penguin Random House

‘Picasso’s War” by Foreign Affairs senior editor Hugh Eakin, who has written about the art world for publications like The New York Review of Books, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and The New York Times, is not about Pablo Picasso’s time in Nazi-occupied Paris and being harassed by the Gestapo, nor about his 1937 oil painting “Guernica,” in response to the aerial bombing of civilians in the Basque town during the Spanish Civil War.

Instead, the Penguin Random House book’s subtitle makes a clearer statement of intent: “How Modern Art Came To America.” This war was not between military forces but a cultural war combating America’s distaste for the emerging modernism that had flourished in Europe in the early decades of the 20th century.
