Greenwich Roundup: Where Your Local Newsstand And Blog Junkie Brings You All Of The Town's News

If I haven't already made it clear, I am fascinated by newspapers, especially Greenwich newspapers . This interest extends beyond the discussions about the evolving business model of the industry and crowd sourced reporting that I often write about. What is so captivating about newspapers is that, as artifacts, they represent the crystallization of flows of information. Every edition of a newspaper is a time capsule comprised of hundreds of stories stitched together into a composite narrative.

Yet They are being replaced by citizen journalist who are creating a more fluid naritive.

There is something uncanny about the way that stories from around the world are distributed across web sites blogs and newspapers.

If you removed the date stamps from Greenwich Roundup it would read as an "exotic and fascinating surrealist poem about our town.

About Greenwich Roundup

Greenwich Roundup is not your typical website or blog. It is intended to provide resources for critical analyses of news and information reports that concern the people issues and events of Greenwich.

Everyone knows that news stories presented by the various local and national media outlets and blogs may or may not be truely objective.

Therefore, it is important that the residents of Greenwich practice critical and discriminating reading. It is a skill that crucial in trying to discern the realities behind all the reporting and rhetoric that is written about the village.

The coverage provided by Greenwich Roundup is intended to allow town residents and any other interested persons to be aware of all the "good, the bad, and the ugly" of reporting about Greenwich.

We have provided Greenwich residents with guidelines for critical reading, as well as, advice on how readers can express themselves to reporters editors and publishers.

Plus we have provided the critical readers of Greenwich good counsel on the submission of comments to the online forums sponsored by this blog and some news sites.

We encourage all the residents of Greenwich to speak out about what ever is on thier mind.

All the information is provided below.

But first take a few moments to learn your way around Greenwich Roundup.

The basic feature of Greenwich Roundup is the scrollable index of stories. There is also a search function that will let you search every page or posting of this site.

Moreover, there is an archive of stories going back to 2006 and beyond.

Plus there is an extensive list of keywords that will open up a page of related news stories and blog posts.

Clicking on the underlined headline of a story opens a new page with a copy of that story, as well as a link to the URL of the original source of the story being reported on.

Please note that Greenwich Roundup operates within the guidelines of The Society of Professional Journalists and observes that organization's Code of Ethics.

We hope you enjoy your stay at Greenwich Roundup and will bookmark our website, so that you can come everyday for the latest news, blog links and information about Greenwich.

Resources For Letter Writers

Greenwich Roundup publishes email addresses for reporters, editors, and publishers when such addresses are publicly made available.

We encourage our reader to send intelligent, civil, and reasonable emails to these journalists, editors and publishers..

However, a critical reader who sends some correspondence to an email address obtained from this website is, in one sense, representing this blog.

What the writer says, and how it is said, reflects directly on Greenwich in general and on this site in particular.

Local "mainstream" reporters, editors and publishers are interested in deadlines and getting stories written that people will read.

If a critical reader can help them do that, then their contributions will be greatly appreciated.

Remember, good stories are factual and well organized, but they also communicate something of the human spirit.

Likewise, letters to local "mainstream" reporters, editors and publishers, while based on heartfelt convictions, also should be well organized, with points and logic developed in a rational sequence.

Proper grammar, spelling, and capitalization also help the local "mainsteam" reporter, editor or publisher view the received letter as worthy of serious consideration.

Brevity and conciseness are very important, and a long-winded rambling discourse is not likely to be given serious consideration.

For that matter, a "letter" does not even have to be a letter, a single sentence can get a point across.

Nor does a letter have to be for publication or even come from a verifiable source, all it needs to do is provide valid food for thought.

Resources For Critical Readers

The critical readers of Greenwich Roundup know that when reading, viewing, or listening to any local "mainstream" news report or blog post, the main thing to realize is that truth and objectivity may be partially obscured or totally absent.

While local "mainstream" media outlets and blogs often self-righteously proclaimed that only the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, is published, the critical reader knows that local news reports in "mainstream" media have three primary purposes: (a) to entice their readers, (b) to be "politically correct" so as not to offend the powers that be, and (c) to lure advertisers by showing the number of docile readers the local publication draws.

Beyond these less than honorable motivations listed above, local "mainstream" reporters, editors and especially publishers are also prone to inject their own personal prejudices and biases, either consciously or unconsciously.

The critical reader should be aware of these potential problems.

The critical reader needs to have many questions in his mind when examining local "mainstream" media items and blog posts.

Many times the vocabulary employed by local "mainstream" journalists and editors is often pejorative and very value laden. Actually, this is an argument in and of itself that there is a bias.

It is up to the critical reader to point this out by means of blog posts and letters to the local "mainstream" newspaper editors and publishers..

There are honest and objective local "Mainstream" journalists, editors and publishers who try and produce a newsppaper that presents all sides of every issue. . However, these local journalists, editors and publishers who have succeed in resisting the pressures to be biased are few and far between.

Many times the critical reader will discover that these local "mainstream" journalists, editors and publishers cave in to pressures, and/or who are prejudiced and nonobjective by nature.

It is therefore up to the critical reader to carefully evaluate and then reject or accept the claims and assertions that are made in any given news story or blog post.

Local "mainstream" journalists, editors and publishers need to make sure they produce well-researched articles that are based on objective description of empirical facts.

One of the goals of Greenwich Roundup is to help these local "Mainstream" journalists, editors and publishers need to strive to convey reality and contribute to enlightenment of Greenwich.

However, the critical reader must understand that journalism which abandons these criteria can be misleading and destructive, pandering to the powers that be rather than courageously and honorably serving truth and justice.

Resources For Blog Comments

More and more local "mainstream" media-sponsored web sites are providing submission forms or links where anyone and everyone can post "comments" on their stories.

Some sites also provide various forums of one typeor another.

However, these forums may require registration.

Many of the comments, suggestions, and cautions That we have provided the critical reader about the submission of comments are very applicable to participation in these forums.

There are no established "standards" for the submission of these comments, and it is necessary and important to very carefully read the instructions, requirements, and limitations for submitting your comments.

Some local "mainstream" newspaper or blog sites may ask for a name, but these are not checked, so there is no need to use your real name if you do not want to..

Other local "mainstream" newspaper or blog sites may allow only a first name, some may permit the inclusions of URL references, links, HTML code, and email addresses, whereas others may not.

When submitting such comments, it is important to "take the high road."

Personal attacks, hatefulness, rash accusations, snide insinuations, misleading assertions, and outright lies are the stock in trade of many posters, but the most effective way to disarm and dismiss these posts is to rise far above such tactics.

Name-calling, abrasiveness, unsupported and insupportable assertions, and otherwise descending to the level of negative posters' inanities not only undermines one's credibility, but reduces the likelihood that one's comments will be accepted and printed.

Submissions should be brief and concise. Two or three short paragraphs is about all that the average reader will assimilate . Be polite, but factual.

Try to deal with reality, and not with far out ideas or wishful thinking.

Take your own concept or idea and address it as thoughtfully, professionally, and concisely as possible.

But first read the existing comments and make sure you are not repeating what someone else has already posted.

In December of 1920, a small group of Greenwich business and professional men, feeling that it was time to have a men's luncheon club where views on business and community affairs could be discussed, decided that the Rotary concept of "Service Above Self" seemed to meet their ideals.

The Rotary Club of Greenwich was then chartered in April 21, 1921. Since that time, Greenwich Rotarians have been volunteering their time and resources to help others in the Greenwich community and throughout the world. The Greenwich Club has been a leader at the local and international level, sponsoring the chartering of many neighboring Rotary Clubs, and serving as the home club of Charlie Pettengill, Sr. 1964-1965 President of Rotary International, and 1995-96 District Governor Jim Cooper.

What did we ever do before wireless networks? But you may as well be sending smoke signals if you can’t find one when you’re on the go. Before you head out with your laptop, check here first for where to log on. Remember, not all "hot spots" are free [if they are, remember to at least buy something or tip the staff]. Some locations allow you to buy a day pass, but if you're always away from your office, you'll do better to get wireless access from your cellphone provider.

April 23-27, 2007: Officials postpone the school's re-opening from late August 2007 to the middle of the 2007-08 school year because of delays.

Feb. 29, 2008: Mold is discovered at the modular building during an investigation into a roof leak in a fifth-grade classroom.

Early March 2008: Short-term tests taken at the modular building shortly after the relocation reveal no air quality issues related to mold, but one longer-acting test shows a higher level of nontoxic mold spores, according to a consultant hired by the school board.
Mid-March 2008: A complaint filed by a parent with the U.S. Department of Education accuses district officials of racial discrimination against Hamilton Avenue students, 60 percent of whom are minorities. Federal officials say the complaint warrants investigation.
March 2008: Connecticut Mastery Test administered to Hamilton Avenue School students, who have resumed classes at six other schools.

June 11, 2008: High levels of mold found in a wall, outside a modular building and on a piece of carpeting show that students and staff were exposed to the spores, according to test results by a certified industrial hygienist hired by a parent group.
Mid-June 2008: The air in two modular classrooms shows active mold growth, according to a follow-up report released by school officials, though they say it's unclear whether the air had always been moldy or only became that way since the March relocation.
Late June 2008: Construction and design flaws that went undetected when the structures were built three years ago caused mold growth at the modular building, not lack of maintenance or oversight by administrators, says a consultant.
Early July 2008: Mold remediation under way at the modular building.
Late July 2008: School board developing contingency plans for relocating Hamilton Avenue and Glenville students in case the Chickahominy school isn't ready to accommodate students by the start of the 2008-09 school year.
July 29, 2008: Building committee votes to request $320,000 in additional town funding in hopes of expediting completion of remaining work necessary for an Aug. 27 re-opening. The figure later jumps to $500,000 because of new work orders.
July 29, 2008: School board approves delaying the start of the school year for Hamilton Avenue by a week to give crews more time to finish work for needed for a temporary occupancy certificate. If inspectors grant the certificate by Aug. 8, students will be allowed to return to the school for class on Sept. 8. If not, they have to return to the modular building, while Glenville School students are re-assigned to four other schools, as demolition begins on their school.
Aug. 1, 2008: Worth President Joe Pontoriero says there is no chance the school will be approved by Aug. 8. With inspectors calling for new building modifications, an Aug. 15 completion is more realistic, he says.

Late August 2008: School board members say they are considering relocating students to the new school in mid-October if the TCO arrives by mid-September.
Sept. 15, 2008: RTM approves building committee's interim funding request, which has risen from $320,000 in July, to $500,000 in August, to $700,000 in September. Committee members cite a slew of new expenses needed to meet inspection standards.
Sept. 18, 2008: Federal investigators dismiss allegations made by a parent in March that the district is racially discriminating against students. In the report, officials say while significant disparities are evident, there is "insufficient evidence" to show resources were being denied on the bases of race or national origin.
Sept. 30, 2008: Parents submit a petition with more than 500 signatures to the school's building committee opposing an idea floated by several committee members to remove Worth from the project by revoking the bond that guarantees its contract, citing concerns about delaying the school's re-opening for months.
Oct. 7, 2008: BET Chairman Steve Walko calls for all groups involved in the reconstruction to begin meeting every week to resolve disputes and push forward with finishing the project.
Nov. 26, 2008: BOE Chairwoman Nancy Weissler says a TCO must arrive by Dec. 5 if students are to safely return to classes at the school after holiday breaks end Jan. 5. Otherwise, she said, the school board may not schedule a move until spring 2009 to avoid interfering with CMT prep.
Dec. 3, 2008: School officials say they are moving forward with plans to re-open Hamilton Avenue in early January, on the assumption that the building committee will have secured the TCO on Dec. 19.
Dec. 19, 2008: The building committee fails to secure a TCO after the manufacturer of the school's boiler system refuses to approve last-minute safety modifications to its equipment, citing liability concerns.
Dec. 22, 2008: Sternberg calls off earlier plans to move staff and equipment into the new school over holiday break, citing the eleventh-hour impasse with the boiler manufacturer.
Jan. 27, 2009: Building committee says it will have to seek an additional $200,000 from the town to pay for unanticipated facilities work and compensate the project manager, architect and contractor for additional time spent on the job.
Jan. 30, 2009: Town building officials grant a TCO for the school, after certifying that the installation of replacement ventilation pipes to the boiler system, as well as a patch job on an interior wall, complies with fire safety standards. Though the school is now safe to occupy, school officials say they will wait until spring to relocate.
Feb. 3, 2009: After re-examining the decision, school officials say they will allow staff to begin moving into the school over February break, clearing the way for students to resume classes when winter recess ends in mid February.
Feb. 4, 2009: A spot in the kitchen ceiling rouses suspicions of mold growth in the new building. Inspectors confirm the presence of mold near the water stain, but say the impact on the environmental quality is negligible, according to a letter dated Feb. 5.
Feb. 17, 2009: Students and staff return to their rebuilt schoolhouse for their first day of classes there in more than three years.

Greenwich Who's Who: Bob Horton

Bob Horton is a Greenwich Time columnist.

Horton is a Greenwich native who grew up in Riverside and now lives near Binney Park in Old Greenwich. Bob is returning to his journalistic roots. He started many years ago as City Hall reporter for the Torrington Register in northwest Connecticut and then moved to Washington, D.C. to write for States News Service. While in Washington he covered stories for papers in Connecticut and Alaska, and wrote a weekly political column that ran in several Connecticut papers.

Horton moved back to Greenwich in the late '80s. His family has generations-deep Greenwich history. His great-grandfather was an oyster fisherman on Long Island Sound and his grandfather was the town's tax assessor for many years. Both of his children graduated from the Greenwich public school system, and his wife Robin is a graphic designer and author of urbangardensweb.com, a blog that explores gardening and design in small spaces.

Needing to make a real living, Bob gave up journalism and pursued a career in marketing. He worked many years for Burson-Marsteller, a public relations agency, and was recently head of brand marketing for Merrill Lynch. He now works in commercial real estate in New York City.

Horton's column runs Fridays in Greenwich Time.

Greenwich Who's Who: Ned Lamont

Ned founded his own company, Lamont Digital Systems, in 1984. Now known as Campus Televideo, the company serves over 150 campuses across the country with foreign language, distance learning and cable television services. He is a graduate of both Harvard and the Yale School of Management and a former newspaper editor.

As a child, Ned’s family dinners were animated by political discussions, with lively exchanges between his grandfather, a banker, and his uncle, a Democratic activist. But the underlying theme was public service.

In addition to helping raise his children and running a business, Ned has brought innovation to his many community activities. He spent eight years in local government, chaired the state investment advisory council overseeing a $20 billion pension fund, served on many civic boards, and has served as a policy member at the Brookings Institution. He has also run a business training program for Bridgeport High School students.

In 2006, Ned energized the grassroots and netroots and defeated incumbent Sen. Joseph Lieberman in the Democratic primary, becoming the Democratic candidate for Senate in Connecticut. Tens of thousands of new voters registered as Democrats for the primary.

Ned served as a fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics in Spring 2007, and currently serves on the board of Mercy Corps, Conservation Services Group, and Teach for America CT. He serves as the chair of the Arts and Sciences Public Policy Committee at Central Connecticut State University.

Ned and his wife Annie have three children and live in Fairfield County.
