2/7/09 A Lot Of "Research" Is Going On In Greenwich



Greenwich Roundup "RESEARCH" project shows that children who want to get drunk should go to wine wise on a Saturday.

Betty Sternberg Causes Soooooo Much Trouble, In 100 Days She Will Be A Long Forgotten Bad Memory, But This Post Will Still Be Up At Greenwich Roundup.

Chris Kull Just Doesn't Get That His Beloved Betty Sternberg Was Wrong To Try And Exclude Greenwich Roundup Over "Content" And "First Amendment Issues".

Even when Betty Sternberg was told to add Greenwich Roundup@gmail.com to the emailed press release list and Greenwich Roundup said that he considered the mater closed Petty Betty And Her Staff Are Still Trying To Make A Big Fat Deal Via Proxies Like Failed School Administration Loyalist Christoph Kull.

If Petty Betty Wants To Keep Debating If It Was Right For Her To Contact Town Attorney John Wayne Fox, Because She Did Not Want Greenwich Borad Of Education Director Kim Eves To Take 30 Seconds And Add GreenwichRoundup@gmail.com to the BOE Emailed Press Release List, Then So Be It.

However, Greenwich Roundup Is More Interested In On Who Is Giving Kids Access To Alcohol.




Brian:


I really don’t understand what your “big to do” is about in regards to being put on a press release list by the town. My research shows that you have not filed an official FOI request nor are you an accredited journalist.


Your endless calls to town employees keep them from doing their work and don’t serve the interests of the community at large. In fact I could file a FOI request for all the ranting voice mails you left and publish those.


In short you are not adding credibility to your blog.



Best regards,



Chris Kull

COMMENT:


Dear Chris,


What your research is very flawed and "fails" to show was that in the entire history of the Town of Greenwich no traditional or new media reporter has ever had to file a freedom of information request to be placed on any Town Of Greenwich Press Release List.


Further, Chris if you had done a better job of "researching" this mater you would find that there was only one email sent from Greenwich Roundup and it was in response to an Email sent by Greenwich Board Of Education Director Kim Eves.


If you want a copy of the Email you can get a copy for your "research" it only costs a quarter for the one page.


But I am afraid that you be be very disappointed, because there really wont be a smoking gun for your little "research" project. The problem is Greenwich Roundup is very lazy and basically took one of his blog posts and cut it into his emailed response to Kim Eves.


Chris, you are also very missed informed about there being a big "accredited" journalism corps in the Town Of Greenwich. Just what organization do you think that these local reporters have joined. Do you think the State Of Connecticut is handing out some kind of license?


Chris, you are wrong to think there is any such thing as the famous "press pass" It isn't something a reporter carries around like a police badge.


A reporter is a reporter, because he or she reports.


Ex-Greenwich Time Managing Editor Jim Zebora was working in a record shop, and he started sending articles in and the rest is history.


Chris, for your information a press pass It is issued by a specific organization for security reasons. Usually reporters, or the organizations they work for, apply for the "press passes" from the "news maker".


So, for intance...


Chris if you got a job working for the Greenwich Time covering Greenwich Hospital. Then Greenwich Hospital might want to give you a visitors or press pass that will allow you to gain access to places and events where the press is allowed to go, but the general public isn't.



But that Greenwich Hospital press pass won't get you anything (in theory) at a Rangers game, the Green Party National Convention, the Consumer Electronics Show, or the news conference being held by the National Dairymen's Association about the many benefits of the new, genetically modified, square eggs.


However, Chris All that said, probably if you were a security guard at 2 Soundview Drive and I had to get past you in order to interview Walter Noel at the Greenwich Fairfield Group.


I could probably flash another company's press pass around, or an old birth announcement tucked into a plastic sleeve hanging from a lanyard around my neck, and zip right pass you and talk with Bernard Madoff's little chum. At least, that always seems to work on TV...


Lastly Chris, I would just like to point out one more flawed area of your "research". You seem to have been flasely been given the impression that there were a lot of long phone calls and voice messages, that "keep them from doing their work and don’t serve the interests of the community at large".


Chris you are never going to get one of those Fancy nancy "press passes" if you keep getting the story all wrong.


There was one voice mail left for kim eves and two messages left for Betty Sternberg left over a four day period.


None of the calls were reurned. Eventually, Kim Eves did send an email to me that was carbon copied to Betty Sternberg and Carol Desalvo.


Betty Sternberg then screwed up and hit "reply all" instead of "reply" when she started ordering town employees to make a federal case out of a simple request to be added to the emailed press release list.


When Kim Eves And Town Attorney John Wayne Fox foundout that Betty Sternberg had hit the reply all button they picked up the phone and talked to Greenwich Roundup.


Chris maybe you should focus a little more on not serving alcohol to children, instead of spending all of your free time "researching" Greenwich Roundup.


Greenwich stores cited for alcohol sales to minors

....Christoph Kull, an owner of Wine Wise, also pledged tougher ID checks. He said a machine will be installed to electronically check IDs to make sure they’re legitimate.

“When it gets extremely busy like it did on Saturday, this is a mistake that can happen,” Mr. Kull said. “We’re going to install this machine and it will help us not make this mistake in the future.”...

...In a press release announcing the violations, Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said, “These routine, statewide alcohol compliance checks that help us identify locations that would sell alcohol to minors are important in curbing youth access to alcohol and reducing the tragic consequences often linked with underage drinking. Liquor retailers are expected to be diligent in asking for and examining identifications, and we encourage them to make this part of their everyday business practice.”

Mr. Farrell thanked the GPD for helping with the inspections ....
