Here Is The Complacent Media Report That Tells You Who And What, But Fails To Tell You Why.....

By Sarah Lipman
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

STAMFORD -- The Ferguson Library is asking taxpayers to fund a 7.6 percent increase in their budget for the fiscal year 2009-10 to cover increased expenses.

The library has asked for about $100,000 to make up for decreased revenue and $400,000 to cover the cost of expenses, including increased material purchases, salary increases and pension plans for its staff. If Mayor Dannel Malloy does not grant the library the requested amount when he releases his proposed budget, it could face cuts in programming, staffing and hours, Library President Ernest DiMattia said.

If Malloy rejects the funding, DiMattia said, the library's board of trustees will have to deteremine where the money is most needed.....

MAYBE DIMATTA SHOULD HAVE "LABORED FOR MONTHS" WORKING ON BUCKS FOR BOOK INSTEAD OF PISANI'S FANCY NANCY HYATT REGENCY PARTY:

....This year, fundraising from Bucks for Books was down nearly $20,000, but Friends of Ferguson funds remained in line with the previous year, DiMattia said.

"The prospect for fundraising is not great," he said. "It's already tax-supported, so it's there for everyone."

Taxpayers pay more than 90 percent of the library's costs .....

Fun with Dick and Dan

There were high points aplenty during last weekend’s toast-and-roast testimonial at the Hyatt in Old Greenwich for Joe Pisani, my friend and colleague. The turnout was strong, with guests from various parts of Joe’s life over the last 25 years, and many of those through his work with The Advocate and Greenwich Time.

(I’m always shocked to see Joe’s four daughters. They are so gorgeous — each could be a super-model tomorrow. They also look like Joe. How is this possible, I always wonder? Then comes the aha! moment: Sandy Pisani, Joe’s gorgeous wife.) .......

Comment:

No self respecting mainstream newspaper or blogger covered Joe "the Censor" Pisani's tribute. Only Joe "The Censor" Pisani covered his party at his own little website called "Our Greenwich". Plus Joe was able to get his former subordinate Ex-Greenwich Time writer Joy Haenlein to tell us how "shocked" to see Joe’s four "gorgeous" daughters.

Joy further writes,"Then comes the aha! moment: Sandy Pisani, Joe’s gorgeous wife."

Could someone please tell me what's up with that.

Why is there this great need to publicly reassure Sandy and her four girls that they are sooooooo gorgeous !!!!!!

This kind of gives one a little wierd and creepy feeling that says something is just not Kosher here.

No wonder Hearst Newspapers fired Greenwich Time Staffers Joe Pisani, Joy Haenlein and Susie Costaregni All At The Same Time.

Who Is Going To Take Sarah Littman and "Our Greenwich" Seriously If Is Associated With The Juvinile High School Girl Style Writtings Of Joy Haenlein and Susie Costaregni.

Written For, By And About Ex-Greenwich Time Editor Joe Pisani

...I learned a great lesson while friends and pretend foes gathered to toast me for my deeds and roast me for my misdeeds over the years at The Advocate and Greenwich Time.

The great lesson I learned, if you can believe this, is humility. How, you might wonder, do we learn humility when people praise you? Because I knew beyond a doubt I’m not the wonderful person they think I am.

We’re all a mixture of weak and strong, good and bad, paisley and plaid, true and false. I won’t continue. You get the idea. It’s called the human condition.

But what really struck me that night was the selflessness and sacrifice of the people who labored for months to put this affair on, starting with the major domo, Ernie DiMattia, head of the Ferguson Library in Stamford, inspired, he said, by Father Richard Futie, Greenwich native and pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Stamford.

Joined by my former colleagues, Durrie Monsma, Joy Haenlein, John Breunig, Barbara Bind, Bruce Hunter and Susie Costaregni, not to mention the people who put on the show, former publisher Durrie Monsma, who came back from California for this affair, the eminent Bernie Yudain, his sidekick, guitar-strumming thespian and attorney wannabe Ted Yudain....

I’ve seen so many proclamations given out over the years that I was delighted to receive one from First Selectman Peter Tesei and a citation from Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and a superb standup routine by Mayor Dan Malloy.

And let me never forget my tireless personal paparazzi John Ferris Robben....
