November 27, 2007 Dock owners agree to deal - Greenwich Time

A group of property owners with docks on the Mianus Pond will be allowed to keep the structures if they agree to safety inspections under a policy approved yesterday by the Board of Selectmen.

11/26/07 Will babies die? Will people explode in flames? Greenwich Hosptial doesn't seem to think so.

Anticipating that greater numbers of residents will suffer circulatory problems as the town's senior population grows, Greenwich Hospital is seeking the state's permission to establish a $1 million therapy service that eases blood flow by increasing oxygen levels.

So-called "hyperbaric oxygen therapy" could serve as an effective treatment for diabetes patients and others who are not responding to traditional antibiotics, said Quinton Friesen, the hospital's senior vice president and chief operating officer.

"The hyperbaric program is for patients who have deep ulcers or major wounds that are not healing under normal circumstances, and with this particular therapy, the data indicates that a patient can recover much more rapidly," Friesen said.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is defined by the Undersea and Medical Hyperbaric Society as the intermittent administration of 100 percent oxygen inhaled while in an enclosed system at a pressure greater than sea level. The increased pressure changes the normal cellular respiration process and ultimately increases tissue oxygenation, stimulating the growth of new blood vessels.

Greenwich Hospital is seeking to purchase two oxygen chambers from Anaheim, Calif.-based Sechrist, for $267,000, according to hospital spokesman George Pawlush. The hospital also expects to pay $775,000 in construction costs for the program, Pawlush said.

November 20, 2007: Inspectors detail Benoit actions - Greenwich Time

Fire Marshal Joseph Benoit several years ago ordered an end to a plan to perform fire inspections on all buildings on Greenwich Avenue, a fire inspector testified yesterday.

New Assistant Fire Chief to Give Department a 'Kick' Start
Greenwich Citizen
Robert Kick, 35, a 14-year veteran of the Fire Department, beat out seven other finalists for the office of Assistant Chief of the Fire Department. Kick was sworn in last Thursday before fellow firefighters at a ceremony in Town Hall.

Kick, whose position is directly beneath Fire Chief Peter Siecienski, is a native of Newtown. He previously held the position of deputy chief.

"I'll be in charge of the day-to-day operations, budgeting, new equipment and purchases, staffing - all aspects," said Kick. He cited his readiness for the position.

"I'm in my 15th year," Kick said, "and I've spent a lot of time training myself to be a better officer. I've been a lieutenant for five years and a deputy fire chief for a year and a half. It's a career-long process."

11/15/07 - Rec fees going up for residents

Rec fees going up for residents

“For 6-year-old kids who go every day, an increase from $1 to $2 is a lot”

Starting next year, residents will pay more to ride a ferry to Greenwich's islands and to play a round of golf, while non-residents will pay less to enter town beaches.

Following debate on a handful of individual fee increases, the Board of Selectmen yesterday unanimously approved more than 60 new rates that the town Department of Parks and Recreation will begin charging Jan. 1.

The department generates about $3.5 million in annual revenue by charging people for an array of services, including renting tennis courts and beach lockers, hosting birthday parties at a skatepark and placing advertisement signs on a golf course.

Past its prime Ferry needs to pass inspection

“The fact that it's survived such a length of time, you've probably got generations of family members who have ridden that boat”

Like an old thoroughbred awaiting a veterinarian's nod to race another season, an aging Greenwich ferry needs approval from both the U.S. Coast Guard and municipal finance officials to continue carrying hundreds of smiling residents to town-owned islands.

Docked beside an industrial park in Bridgeport where Coast Guard officials will inspect her this month, the 70-year-old 'Indian Harbor' may require so much work on her steel deck and hull that it might not be financially prudent to invest in repairs, according to Fred Walters, superintendent of marine facilities for the Greenwich Department of Parks and Recreation.
