identifying a man wanted for questioning following a shooting in a Circle K parking lot Thursday afternoon outside the Circle K on West Laurel Avenue in Eunice Police said the suspect left the scene in an unknown direction driving a dark-colored KIA sedan No license plate information has been released Anyone with information is urged to contact Eunice Police or St overlooking the green rolling hills of the Tamarack Country Club stretching across 180 acres of backcountry Greenwich the 235 nature enthusiasts gathered for the 2025 Audubon Connecticut Environmental Leadership Awards Benefit Being honored was Awardee Eunice Burnett of Greenwich for her impactful work in conservation and environmental community building But before Burnett’s notable acceptance talk were remarks by Dr and introduced as the first female to hold that office since Audubon’s founding in 1905 Gray had just arrived from Washington attending the U.S “to be here tonight in a room full of people who have the same passion that I do for birds and for nature and for the future that we’re all building together.” Gray thanked Greenwich Audubon board chair Kim Gregory “for bringing together this community in honor of Eunice Burnett and her remarkable contributions.” More thanks went to Gregory and to Mike Burger vice president and executive director of Audubon Connecticut and New York “for growing the Audubon flock.” Gray cited the “action in Greenwich at the Audubon Center We’re restoring 22 acres of early successional habitat and we’re doing that by planting pollinator gardens by revitalizing trails and by expanding forest edges that are supporting really important bird and pollinator habitat.” “is our guiding star: bending the bird curve – halting and ultimately reversing the decline of birds across the Americas They are symbols of our connection to the natural world and sentinels of its health.” Thus “When birds are doing well the planet’s thriving and when birds are in decline we’ve got some serious challenges to tackle and work to do that’s why the work that we do not only protects birds it strengthens communities such as this one that’s in the room tonight It helps us all build resilience and it improves the quality of habitat Awardee Eunice Burnett was introduced by Burger as “epitomizing community building and action.” “When Eunice sees something that needs to be done she steps up and does it…Just recently she had an idea to prepare and deliver bird-centric welcome boxes to families who are new to the area to welcome them to Greenwich and introduce them to the Greenwich Audubon Center who serves on the board of Audubon Connecticut/ Audubon New York “I’m just an average person who has a deep appreciation for nature and maybe that’s why I’m a good person to talk to all of you tonight.” Her formative influences followed She began her work in her twenties as an equity research analyst “As I researched the chemical industry,” she told “I became aware of what some companies like Monsanto were doing to our environment in food supply…When I had children trans fats in everything…I stopped feeding my Kentucky group blue grass sod nitrogen fertilizer to prevent algae growth in our local freshwater ponds Our landscapers were not happy…I was rewarded with the sighting of a beautiful Luna moth on my lawn I swear its green wings flapped me a little thank you for its natural playground.” Taking her three kids skiing where she had skied in her youth on “the highest mountain” of Germany we did not see a giant snow-capped mountain The tiniest dirtiest patch of snow was the only remnant of the once magnificent glacier I had put these three people on the planet I owed it to them to make sure that the planet was still functioning when they were my age.” Burnett then “sought out like-minded people who supported environmental organizations with their time and treasure.” She was inspired to do the same “I chair Green Our Children to benefit research at Mount Sinai’s Children Environmental Health Center I chair the environmental education committee at the Junior League where it’s monitored by Susie Baker…who has received Audubon’s Environmental Lifetime Achievement Award and is an overall total force in conservation Burnett “became part of a great environmental committee at Stanwich School.” She joined GRAB – the Greenwich Recycling Advisory Board She worked with the Environmental Task Force and Greening of Greenwich “both town initiatives headed by Lin Lavery Burnett then became a board member of Audubon Connecticut I joined the board to help our state start its Audubon and Home Initiative which many of you know today as Bird Friendly Communities Its goal is to teach people the best practices to develop their properties into healthy habitats for humans “how to be a better steward of the natural world through the interconnectedness of the ecosystem Conservation with a bird focus has a positive including humans.” To spotlight that interconnectedness “All parts of nature belong to one head as curls of a maiden’s hair.” she has served on the board of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) or TNC “TNC and Audubon often collaborate to achieve important conservation objectives environmental organizations are now taking a page from nature’s playbook mirroring the ecological interconnectedness that exists in nature They have realized that they belong to one head as the curls of a maiden’s hair.” “We can all agree that these bird songs are beautiful and moving and their absence would be tragic but diversity of ideas and solutions AND biodiversity are critical to our survival – humans as well as birds.” But “Let us agree that birds are worth saving for our future generations.” Burnett would leave us with another Thoreau quote: “As I love nature Email:editor@greenwichsentinel.com Smithsonian Institution; gift of Diana Walker This connection helped foster a lifelong dedication to

Her uncle, prominent architect Henrique Mindlin, was the brother-in-law of Baby Bocayuva, a close friend of the couple and himself a former representative proscribed by the military dictatorship. Bocayuva is portrayed in I’m Still Here by actor Dan Stulbach The two women became closer after Mindlin left a successful career as an economist and university professor to become an anthropologist Her mentor in this transition was the renowned sociologist and ethnologist Carmen Junqueira who worked alongside Paiva at the Pro-Indian Commission of São Paulo “I met Ailton Krenak at Eunice’s house,” Mindlin recalls notes that his mother’s dedication to Indigenous law emerged after an initially promising career in family and civil law thanks to support from friends and relatives she allowed herself to focus on a field that wasn’t financially lucrative but that she inexplicably fell in love with: Indigenous law She began representing Indigenous nations whose demarcated lands were being violated,” he writes In 1985, Paiva co-authored The State Against the Indians published by the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo’s Graduate Program in Social Sciences The book highlights the connections between economic growth political regimes and Indigenous rights violations in Brazil One example is the Tucuruí Dam project on the Tocantins River in the Amazon Basin, which flooded lands inhabited by the Parakanã people the Parakanã found themselves deprived of fishing as nearby streams were not rich in fish,” the authors warn Paiva also played a key role in advocating for the Yanomami Indigenous Park along the Brazil-Venezuela border She led a major campaign for the demarcation of Yanomami territory (achieved in 1982) and later fought against mining exploitation in the area which the military regime approved the following year she also opposed policies aiming to divide Indigenous peoples into the two categories “traditional” (isolated with no contact with white people) and “emancipated” (inclined to acculturation) This would have led to the latter group’s dispossession of land Her activism culminated in contributions to Brazil’s 1988 Constituent Congress House Speaker Ulysses Guimarães declared the new constitutional text the “Rubens Paiva Constitution.” included a chapter dedicated to Indigenous peoples affirming their rights to traditionally occupied lands and their exclusive use of natural resources is one of Eunice’s great legacies to Indigenous peoples and to the country as a whole,” says Kleber Karipuna executive coordinator of Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil by Brazilian Amazon Paiva was once again in Brasília as part of a delegation pushing President José Sarney to demarcate Kayapó Mekranotí land Security guards initially barred them from the presidential palace stunned by the sight of famous artists respectfully but insistently pressing against the glass doors eventually relented and let us in.” The land was officially demarcated in 1993 Paiva’s work only diminished in 2008 when Alzheimer’s forced her into retirement When I’m Still Here premiered at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival, it received a nearly 10-minute standing ovation.

She which made her quick ascent rather spectacular at the time In the mid-1990s, Huthart appeared on the competition show Gladiators wherein athletes of all stripes play against an in-house Gladiator in physical games “The British stuntwomen at the time — there wasn’t much to choose from,” the now 58-year-old explains but there just weren’t many girls with combat experience They couldn’t find a stunt double for Famke Janssen in GoldenEye with the martial-arts ability needed and I got asked to come for an audition down at Warner Bros I was three days into rehearsing and I was like She quickly earned credits in some of the biggest films of the ’90s and early 2000s — The Fifth Element (1997) The Beach (2000) — along with loads of television appearances for continuing to bring her aboard projects “I felt like I was in stunt royalty all the time when I was around those guys,” she recalls It was Crane, though, who steered Huthart into her most fruitful collaboration of the era. First in 2001’s Tomb Raider, then in 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith and 2010’s Salt Huthart became Angelina Jolie’s regular stunt double Huthart began to understand how to build character in her stuntwork “What I learned about working with actresses — particularly Angelina Uma Thurman was the same — they never wanted to leave the character behind when they were doing stunts They always wanted the character to be carried through the action.” Even when she made the traditional career jump from stunt double and performer to stunt coordinator and second unit director “I should be honoring exactly what that actress wants to deliver not how I think it should be portrayed but exactly how she wants it portrayed,” she says “I always want to feel like it’s the character doing it all the time.” “Eunice is the reason I was able to have a career in action,” Jolie says but she was the person who helped me understand the art form of stunts and storytelling with action but those who know her well know she is equally full of empathy and warmth She’s a brilliant stunt coordinator because she understands character and story Huthart wasn’t the first woman to make the jump to stunt coordinator but it was still something of a rarity within the stunt world when she did it taking command of massive films like Maleficent and then I was into martial arts and I was the only girl in the gym,” she says “Sometimes I think if you look for the barrier you’d already become a victim because of that circumstance I would be the loudest voice in the room all the time I would be the one that would stand up and argue.” Which isn’t to say she doesn’t have regrets I’ve done films where we sold our soul,” she adds And I just felt like that film should have been good for how much blood I was ever so disappointed that the film wasn’t the great film we always wanted it to be The biggest reward to me is actually to create something that people really like and love to talk about.” Perhaps Huthart, eternally humble, wouldn’t see it this way, but her body of work overall is something that people really like and love to talk about. One such person is director Nida Manzoor, whose 2023 action-comedy Polite Society positioned Huthart as the zenith of stuntwork Young Ria (Priya Kansara) is a burgeoning martial artist who looks to none other than Eunice Huthart as inspiration As Ria makes action films to her parents’ chagrin Huthart hangs over her life just out of reach Manzoor didn’t pick Huthart out of a hat for this; she grew up viewing her through the same lens her character Ria did “Seeing her go from contestant to Gladiator and then sort of later on in my career knowing her as a stuntwoman and then seeing her work as a stunt coordinator — she is essentially a force of nature,” Manzoor says Huthart couldn’t quite process that an entire film was being made essentially in her honor “We reached out to her to try and get her to agree to be involved with the film I don’t think it quite landed that she was at the heart of the film and essentially the main character’s hero,” Manzoor explains “It wasn’t until she came in to do her bit of voice-over that she was like ‘What is going on?’ She doesn’t believe that anyone would admire her but just being in her presence for a couple minutes “It still trips me out!” says Huthart of the experience I’m still flabbergasted at the whole thing Huthart is more likely to turn our conversation to the collaborators who mentored her Abrams comes up many times as a “genius” with whom she can work effortlessly it was really funny because Guy would just go “The fascinating thing about Joe Wright is his camera is a character so we’ve always got to find the camera concept as well,” she explains “His camera has to deliver some form of emotion the job of stunt professionals is not just to throw bodies and beat down — they must understand how to expertly block This is why many stunt professionals make the leap from performing to coordinating and directing “The first version of a fight could be reincarnated possibly a hundred times We’d come up with something and then we would tear it apart and then we’d end up with a version that we love which could take three weeks sometimes to get and then we’ll teach the actors in the environment she’s still going a mile a minute; she most recently worked on True Detective: Night Country and the 2025 animated Sonic spinoff Knuckles and she’s got a top-secret collaboration with Abrams on her plate she realizes she hasn’t done a western yet and adds that genre to her bucket list “I love anything that is confrontational and a challenge and it’s not going to be me’ type of scenario.”) But she falls instantly back into memories particularly of shooting Danny Boyle’s The Beach and the thrill she gets from simply being on a set You had to make sure you pitched out far enough that when you landed And that’s one of the few things I’ve done where if I got it wrong The adrenaline and the pump I got off that was magic And when I watched the way Danny Boyle shot it and went into slo-mo …” she trails off Password must be at least 8 characters and contain: you’ll receive occasional updates and offers from New York Eunice was the daughter of the late Henry and Ida Virginia Crutchfield-Edmonds Eunice was preceded in death by her husbands Christopher Davidson;
