04/26/10 Greenwich Resident Linda McMahon Asks: Is this what you want?

Linda McMahon For Senate

Dear Greenwich Roundup,

We have the opportunity this year to elect a different kind of Senator. Our campaign doesn't accept special interest money, and we've built our campaign around a solid plan for putting Connecticut back to work. I released a detailed plan and mailed it to voters around the state to explain exactly how I would get to work on day one to revive our economy and create jobs in our state.

Grassroots supporters like you are building the momentum that is driving our campaign. Republican leaders from all over the state are rallying behind our campaign because they know we can beat Dick Blumenthal in November.

Washington insiders thought Dick Blumenthal was a shoo-in to replace Chris Dodd when he announced his candidacy, but even the
New York Times is now saying "signs of trouble have quickly emerged."

In January, the day after announcing he would run for the U.S. Senate, Blumenthal pledged he had never taken special interest money. Only four months later, we learned that he's lined his pockets with nearly a quarter million dollars from special interests. Washington insiders like Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer are scrambling to write checks to Blumenthal so they can keep control of Connecticut's Senate seat.

Washington special interests are already trying to buy their next Senator. It's time for something different. Your support is critical to bring real change to Washington and put an end to politics as usual.

The first step is to continue building our grassroots network to ensure every Connecticut voter hears from us. Please forward this email to five of your friends and ask them join you in
supporting our campaign.

Thank you again for your support and for all your hard work in this campaign.

All the best,
Linda

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today announced a major disaster exists in the State of Connecticut and ordered Federal aid to supplement State and local recovery efforts in the area struck by severe storms and flooding beginning on March 12, 2010, and continuing.

Federal funding is available to State and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms and flooding in the counties of Fairfield, Middlesex, and New London.

[MWF Emphasis: ] Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide.

Michael L. Parker has been named as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected area.

My name is Emily Sussman, and I am a teacher as well as a parent at Crossroads School in Brewster, New York.
I wish I were more eloquent. I wish that I could place the right phrase at the right time so people would stand up and take notice, but I am not. I am a simple person with a lot of passion.
Crossroads is a small private school that is danger of closing its doors forever. It is a place where your child can learn and grow to be their very best.
Oh, I am sure you have all heard this before from many schools, but the fact of the matter is that it doesn't always happen. Yet I see it here at Crossroads.
I have seen children who are broken and fragile and have lost hopes due to the treatment of their peers and the school system. I have seen kids who are paralyzed with anxiety who can not leave their homes because they fear the bullying of other students, even teachers and the system in general. I have seen them all.
I have also seen them walk through the doors at Crossroads School here in Brewster and within one month you can see the light of their smiles again. You can see a ray of hope in them. Give them six months, and I can see their grades going up because they WANT to learn! They need to LEARN.
I have seen so much good running in and out these doors --- and they are going to close.
Crossroads School will be having a fundraiser/information day/family fun day on Saturday, May 15th. All of the children are involved in one way or another to help raise funds. Some of our high school students are amazing artists. They are going to be selling limited edition prints of their work and the proceeds' will go to the school.
We need your support.
Please contact us at 845-278-2774 or visit us on the web at crossroadsschool.net for more information about the school.

04/23/10 Is It True That First Selectman Peter Tesei Is Considering Canceling His Subscription To The Greenwich Time

Hearst Newspaper Reporter Debra Friedman's Articles Have Been Upsetting The Thin Skinned Peter Tesei Lately

Tesei Particularly Did Not Like This Passage....

"Last week, the Teamsters filed a grievance claiming the t
own did not have a "clear-cut" process to govern which personnel are called in when a disaster strikes."

Tesei Also Did Not Like These Passages....

"This was an all hands on deck situation so why were not all hands called," states the grievance. "Attempts were not even made to call some people in."

"The slow restoration process frustrated many town residents"

"The question about whether the town was utilizing overtime arose in the storm's aftermath."

After filing a grievance with the town alleging some town tradesmen were not called in to help handle the powerful March 13 nor'easter, the union's steward met with town officials this week to iron out the main issues stemming from the complaint.

Roger Taranto, steward of Teamsters Local 456, which represents about 400 tradesmen in public works, parks and other departments, said he met with the town's labor relations director Wednesday and felt the meeting was productive. Taranto said he hopes to avoid going to arbitration....

Robin Harrison

April 22 at 6:50pm

Hi Everyone,


First off I would like to thank everyone for their support so far, the GPD really needs to change its conduct.

But this will only come with time and making the public aware of the situation.

Recently I was contacted by Debra Friedman at the Greenwich Time, and she would like to meet with me next week.

I would like to go in fully prepared with others stories of unfair treatment by the Greenwich Police.

This will be 100% Anonymous, and absolutely no names will be used.

If there is ever going to be a change the time is now, because if the GPD keeps going like they are it's only going to get worse from here.

I highly encourage anyone who has had a bad experience with them and their actions were not justified please e-mail your story to AntiGPD@aol.com.

I would highly appreciate everyone and anyone to contribute.

If you have any questions please send it to my inbox.

Thanks again for all your support!

Best wishes,

Robin Harrison

Please see attached release for Orienteering Adventure Days for 5th

Greenwich Board Of Education Press Release:

ORIENTEERING ADVENTURE DAYS

FOR GREENWICH PUBLIC SCHOOLS 5th GRADERS

5TH Graders Head to Seton Scout Reservation for

Adventure, Friendship and Interdisciplinary Connections

Elementary Physical Education teachers in Greenwich have developed an interdisciplinary project that blends fitness, writing, map reading, and team building skills. Led by their P.E. teachers and staff from Camp Seton Scout Reservation, all fifth graders from the eleven Greenwich Public Elementary Schools will participate in a day of adventure. The event was designed to give students the opportunity to meet and interact with those students who will be in their sixth grade class in middle school next year. The Orienteering Adventure Days are being held at the Camp Seton Scout Reservation from 9:15AM-1:30PM on April 26 (for Central feeder schools), April 28 (for Western feeder schools), and April 29 (for Eastern feeder schools). The rain dates are April 30 and May 3 & 4.

Students have been grouped with peers from their common feeder elementary schools (established by the Central, Eastern and Western Middle School clusters). In preparation for this experience, students have generated and exchanged a series of letters, in both Spanish and English, to each of their teammates prior to the event. During their physical education classes, students learned orienteering basics. At Camp Seton, students will participate in adventure activities, which include a traversing wall, compass skills and orienteering as well as an interactive lesson on poisonous plants, spiders and snakes. All students will enjoy a picnic lunch together, allowing them to socialize with their future classmates and friends.

The Physical Education Department finds this to be a wonderful opportunity to work across disciplines, take advantage of community resources, and to help pave the way for a positive transition for students to middle school.

For more information, please contact: Ms. Colleen Morey, Program Coordinator for Physical Education & Health at 203-625-7478 or colleen_morey@greenwich.k12.ct.us
