Could someone please go wake up the incompetant and lazy Greenwich Time webmaster who has once again failed to get GREENWICH news stories up on the web by 7 AM this morning.

Greenwich time reporters filed over a half a dozen news stories before 10 PM last night but the Greenwich Times dim witted webmaster has not figured out a way for the stories to be immediately posted to the web.

Most of these stories were filed and digitally sent to Bridgeport over 9 hours ago !!!!!!


But the so called Greenwich Time "webmaster" can't even get it up by 7AM !!!!!!!

NORWALK - In front of a vacant East Avenue storefront Thursday, Democratic congressional contender Jim Himes slammed U. U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., for his recent declaration that "our economy is fundamentally strong. No one can disagree with that."


Shays made those comments in a Labor Day appearance on "The Brian Lehrer Show" on WNYC radio.


The economy has been a major campaign issue for Himes, who said he was shocked to hear the longtime Republican incumbent's appraisal of the current financial climate.


Himes addressed the remarks during a news conference at 214 East Ave., the former home of a family-owned florist that one of his campaign aides said went out of business two months ago after six years at the location.

Town should appreciate arts center efforts

To the editor:


I am writing in response to Staff Writer Neil Vigdor's Aug. 26 article about the Greenwich Center for the Arts' efforts to create a multi-arts center that would, in my estimation, bene-fit everyone in town and be a crowning jewel on Greenwich Avenue ("Town sees hurdles in arts center plan," Greenwich Time).


I would like everyone involved in this effort to please know that there are people out there (I am one) who really "get" what the group is trying to do, and appreciate the huge vision, the hard work and the unceasing hassle that are part of it. I applaud the five years of effort that they have contributed as volunteers to try to create something of which our town can be proud and that will help the many local arts groups in Greenwich to thrive as never before.


It is my personal hope as a citizen of Greenwich and as president of the Greenwich Art Society that our leaders and my neighbors will have the wisdom to accept GCA's incredible gift.
