03/12/08 - Is The A Special Place In Hell For Some Wealthy Greenwichites


The Vatican Says: Economic injustice, which has left the
poor even poorer and the rich richer

will send obscenely rich straight to hell.

QUOTE:

Then said Jesus unto his disciples: Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23, 24

HEADLINE:

Obscene wealth 'can go to Hell'

SOURCE:

NEWS.com.au, Australia

STORY:

The seven deadly sins have grown to at least 14 after the Vatican updated its 1400-year-old list of the worst moral failures to reflect the changing times ...

....
Quoting from Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, reported that certain actions were so unholy that they needed to be deemed as “mortal sins” – not the less serious “venial sins”.

The man in charge of examining confessions and indulgences for the Vatican, Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti, told the Vatican newspaper that priests should be aware of the “new” sins....

....The other “new” mortal sins included taking or dealing drugs and causing poverty or the “excessive accumulation of wealth by a few”, Monsignor Girotti said. According to the Catholic Church, “immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend straight into Hell.”

Pope Gregory the Great listed the original seven deadly sins in the 6th Century.

Those were: Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed and Sloth.

One Greenwich Hedge Fund Manager Was Heard To Scream From His Waterfront Home...

You know what? It’s time for the Pope to STFU. What an a**hole. I want this do-gooder jackass to define “excessive wealth”.... This coming from a guy who takes a vow of poverty and lives in a palace.... Live in squalor and THEN make this pronouncement.... The Pope can go to hell.
Screw the Church!


It is a shame that we must be told that these activities are sinful, but most people never consider the ramifications of such deeds.

In issuing this list, the Vatican is asking that we become more conscious of what we chose to do in our world.the way we act upon the world and upon each other. Regardless of your religion, certainly you can see the benefit to this. If you fail to do so, it does not surprise me that you also fail to see the sinfulness in the social sins as given by Bishop Girotti.

If you are a Catholic, you will agree with the views of the Church. If not, you will probably be against the Church. That's the way is it and always has been.

It's going to be fun to watch how people will be freaking out about the money thing. Who really has obscene amounts of money? Certainly not half of those who will be defending it.

I suppose it's something we all strive for I guess.

It is clear that the Vatican is targeting those who are selfish with their riches, not those who are trying to make a difference.

The Vatican is right
when it comes to matters of becoming obscenely wealthy, causing poverty and social injustice. Hopefully, some of the obscenely wealth of Greenwich will step up to the plate and help some of the poorest and weakest of Greenwich Society.

Currently, there are hundreds of Hamilton Avenue School Children who have suffered and have not had a school to go to for four long years.

At the opening of last night's
Greenwich, the Representative Town Meeting, Board of Education Chairwoman Nancy Weissler told the RTM that school officials will make an interim appropriation request in April for the costs incurred from the recent relocation of Hamilton Avenue School students.

The town was forced to move the students to six other schools after mold was discovered in the modular units housing them while their own building is renovated.


What
Board of Education Chairwoman Nancy Weissler faiiled to tell the RTM was that this relocation and tax increase might have been avoided if the Board Of Education had not covered up the modular school classroom mold problem over one year ago.

03/11/08 - The tax relief program allows residents 65 and older who earn a maximum of $39,000 to receive up to $1,700 in property tax credits


Senior advocates have said that with tax relief, older residents can stay in their homes for longer, which forestalls their move to assisted living facilities, nursing homes and other institutions.

Seniors seek to ease tax restrictions


Greenwich Time - Staff Writer

Allowing people with disabilities to participate, loosening the income and age restrictions and adding a deferment option were among the changes seniors would like to see in the Elderly Property Tax Relief program....

... Tim Bassford, 51, of Chickahominy, also asked town officials to consider extending the program to the disabled who face the same economic struggles as the elderly.

"They're exactly in the same boat," he said.

Among one of the proposals the committee is studying is a way for seniors to delay paying their taxes until they sell their homes. The deferral program would place a lien on the property and when the home is sold, the taxes, including interest, would have to be paid from the proceeds.

"The tax deferral is a simple process and a guarantee that the town will get its money," said Suzanne Geiss Robbins.

Nearly a year after a nor'easter devastated several parts of Greenwich, the Representative Town Meeting overwhelmingly approved $727,000 last night for bridge, road and other infrastructure repairs necessitated by the storm.

....After last year's nor'easter, the town spent $640,000 of the $727,000 repairing a number of severely damaged bridges, culverts and dams.

Hamilton Avenue Children Know All About Mold
And How It Effects There Little Bodies.


Rau: We'll do well on CMT's



Greenwich Time - Staff Writer

... When {Hamilton Avenue School Principal Damaris Rau} started, the school building was plagued by mold, and students and staff soon were forced to move to a temporary building so their school could be renovated. Since then, her school has been cited by the state for being racially imbalanced, and rising enrollment has created crowded classrooms. In the meantime, their original building, which was supposed to be ready last September, has had major construction delays and won't be ready until this fall.

To top it off, mold was discovered in the temporary building on Feb. 29, which led officials to cancel classes all last week, close the building for the rest of the school year and disperse Hamilton Avenue students to six schools around the district.....

Correction:

Molded Cieling Tiles were discovered over one year ago and Hamilton Avenue School parents were never told there children were in danger.

03/09/08 - Town Employees: Sternberg's Crew Knew - Mold Covered Tiles Replaced Over One Year Ago.

...some parents are worried. At recent public meetings with school officials, they have said the unexpected weeklong break may cause students to lose their readiness to take the test.

"I'm not happy about the CMT (delay). The kids were all very well prepared," said Dawn Nethercott, co-president of the school PTA. "It's an unfortunate situation."

All Greenwich public schools begin the CMT testing at the start of March and must finish by the end of the month, as in the rest of the state. The tests are used to gauge a school's progress under the federal No Child Left Behind law, which determines if a school should be taken over by the state if it does not show adequate progress over time.

Like others, Hamilton Avenue School teachers began heavy test preparation in late February, only to have classes canceled this week....

"The last thing they wanted was a week off," said Cathy Delehanty, president of the teachers' union.

Quote Of The Day: "I think the kids will do the best they can. That's a pretty tough group," John Curtin, assistant school superintendent of research and evaluation said. "If there's any school in the district that's prepared to deal with adversity, it's Hamilton Avenue."

That's right John, "they are a pretty tough group". It is not easy to learn when you have headaches, prolonged sinus infections and your teacher is complaining of about headaches, nausea, and respiratory problems.

I am sure that the Glenville Students will also be
a "pretty tough group" too.

03/09/08 - Town Employees: Sternberg's Crew Knew - Mold Covered Tiles Replaced Over One Year Ago.

School Officials And Politician's Face The Parents Of Hamilton Avenue School.

Hamilton Avenue Parents And Greenwich Media Outlets Are Being Lied To By Betty Sternberg's Administrators.

School Employees Replaced Molded Cieling Tiles From The Modular Classrooms Over One Year Ago.

That's Right Greenwich School Official's Knew About The Mold Over One Year Ago.


Town employees say Hamilton Avenue School Principal Damaris Rau knows that mold covered ceiling tiles were discovered and replaced over one year ago in the temporary modular classroom buildings

It appears that Principal Damaris Rau in a Greenwich Public School decision to replace the contaminated tiles and not tell parents about the mold over one year ago.

The reason that 90% the modular classroom buildings eaves, or soffits, were covered in mold is that Principal Darius Rau did not demand that the children placed in her care be protected.

If Principal Rau had demanded that the mold had been properly remediated when it was first discovered over one year ago, then the mold would not have spread so extensively through the temporary modular classroom.

This was definitely a school maintenance problem that was improperly handled by Greenwich School Facilities Director Tony Byrne and Principal Rau, because the mold was discovered and then hidden from the school parents and taxpayers.

Maintenance and proper remediation were delayed out of fear of how Hamilton Avenue and Glenville school parents would react to the contamination in the modular school classrooms.

School officials and administrators were afraid
of how active Hamilton Avenue Parents, like Lauren DiBella, Mina Bibeault, Rose Furano and Dawn Nethercott would react if it was disclosed that mold was found in the temporary modular classroom building.

There tremendous fear about how the parents and the media would react if it was disclosed that the Hamilton Avenue Children had been once again exposed to mold in the new school building.

Further there was a fear that the very vocal parents of Glenville School would refuse to send their children to the contaminated modular classrooms, when the Hamilton Avenue students moved out.

For over five years Hamilton Avenue parent Lauren DiBella has been right about Greenwich Public School Administrators.

She and other parents were stonewalled by school officials five years ago , when students and staff complained about headaches, nausea, and respiratory problems at the Old Hamilton Avenue School.

When Ms. DiBella complained during the last year that children were suffered from headaches, prolonged sinus infections in the temporary modular classrooms, she was again ignored by school administrators.

Further more, Town Employees are also saying that Principal Rau and other school administrators agreed to hide the mold from Hamilton Avenue Parents for over one year, because they feared they could not handle the displacement of hundreds of Hamilton Avenue School students.

Principal Rau knew that there is a good chance that removing the molded tiles filled the classroom air with airborne mold spores, but she did no care that her students and teachers would be exposed to airborne mold particles and spores.

Rau was only worried about her job, so she went along with administrators who wanted to hide the contamination in the modular classrooms from parents from both Hamilton Avenue School and Glenville School.

But eventually, the cover up was exposed, because leaks got so bad that water routinely poured into a fifth-grade classroom.

This caused enraged parents to reach out to Greenwich Roundup and other media outlets in town.

If Rau was as smart as, she thinks she is, she would have never got involved in the school administration cover-up to hide the mold that developing in the modular building.

It appears that Rau has not learned her lesson, because she is in on the new cover up to protect incompetent school administrators for being punished for hiding the mold contamination from parents.

Is Principal Rau going to take the fall for Facilities Director Tony Byrn, Superintendent for Business Services Sue Wallerstein or Greenwich School board member Michael Bodson (Who serves as a liaison on town facilities committees) ?

Moreover, Principal Rau and the other lying administrators have no credible back-up plan is for the fall, even though she and they know that Hamilton Avenue School's renovation will most likely not be ready for students.

Building construction has already been delayed by a year because of repeated school administration foul ups.

Almost everyone, is waiting to see if Principal Rau is going to be the fall gal for Greenwich School Superintendent Betty Sternberg's administrators who were planning to move Glenville Students in the mold plagued building once Hamilton Avenue School was finished.

Worse yet, Principal Rau and Superintendent Betty Sternberg's administrators have put the building's warranty into jeopardy or other issues about who is responsible for paying for the remediation of the modular building, Carp Building Structures lawyers and Miller Building Systems lawyers are going to argue that they are not responsible for any remediation costs, because school administrators hid the mold problem from them for over a year.

Yet, Greenwich Taxpayers are repeatedly being assurred that the board is investigating who is responsible and that Betty Sternberg is going to hold them accountable.

Principal Rau has repeatedly told parents that formaldehyde and other possible contamination has not been looked at closely, because she and other school administrators are soooooooooo concerned about current well being of the displaced children who he let spend over a year in a contaminated classroom.


Rau and other school administrators wont even disclose what type of mold was discovered in the modular classroom buildings.

Soon, building contractors lawyers, parents, reporters are all going to be filing freedom of information requests for ceiling tile purchase orders, tyveck suit purchase orders, respirator and filter purchase orders, installation work orders, work schedules, overtime pay requests,correspondence, emails and photos about the molded tiles that were removed from the modular classroom, over a year ago.

Hopefully Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg, Sue Wallerstein, assistant superintendent for business services and Facilities Director Tony Byrne will not hide or shread any documents about the molded tiles that were replaced over one year ago.

It Is Time For This School Cover Up

To Come To An End.

One Town employee has said that documents about the mold covered ceiling tiles that were replaced over a year ago has been given to a school official that is closely associated with the Board of Education special committee that includes board member Michael Bodson, who serves as a liaison on town facilities committees, School Board Member Steve Anderson, Leslie Moriarty, School Board President Nancy Weissler, Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg and Board of Estimate and Taxation member Jim Campbell.

Further, this Town employee says that if the committee does not start investigating the molded ceiling tiles that were removed from the modular classroom over a year ago, then he will supply these documents to the local news paper.

For the record if the documents are given to Greenwich Roundup, they will be put up here for all the Hamilton Avenue Parents to see.

It's time to face the facts.

And it is time for Greenwich Taxpayers to stop suffering from the fools who administer our public schools.

It is time for incompetent and lying school administrators to be fired.

The truth is that that the modular building will not be remediated of mold problems before the end of the school year.

Greenwich Taxpayers are going to pay dearly to remediate this modular classroom building that was allowed to rot away for over one year.

Shame on
