05/10/08 - Government Compliant Media Operations In Greenwich


Regurgitated Town Of Greenwich And Board Of Education Press releases! Must Die! Die! Die! At The Greenwich Time

Nothing Has thwarted the Town Of Greenwich from using coercion and favoritism to manipulate a compliant press in Greenwich.

The Stakeholders Of Greenwich want a daily or at least weekly newspaper devoted to the unbiased reporting of events and developments that are significant to readers living in, or employed in Greenwich.
  • The Single Family Home Owners Of Greenwich School Children want a daily or at least weekly newspaper that will strive to report fairly, and objectively reliable information without favor or compromise.
  • The Parents Of Greenwich School Children want a daily or at least weekly newspaper whose first duty will be the PEOPLES RIGHT TO KNOW.
  • The Parents of Glenville and Hamilton Avenue School need a daily or at least weekly newspaper that expose the truth, without fear or hesitation, no matter where the pursuit may lead.
All Of Greenwich deserves a daily or at least weekly newspaper that will conduct itself in the finest tradition of FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

The Greenwich time has repeatedly failed to cover news and events relevant to the health and safety of innocent small children, instead they focussed on immediacy of reproducing press releases in a journal format.

Audit Bureau Statistics show that the Greenwich Time year after year loses readers, because they fail to provide a comprehensive, chronological step-by step accounting of events, enlightened with analysis where appropriate.

From amongst the journalism's classic Key Words: who, what, when, where, why and how, the Greenwich Time often fails to deliver the "why and how".

The Greenwich Time does not use it's abundant time and resources to get past the initial government or school board "spin" and "damage control" which are often at the core of press releases.

The Greenwich Time repeatedly fails to reach the very heart of the matter: THE TRUTH.

The Greenwich Time often ignores the cries of the single family home owners and parents and other disenfranchised members of Greenwich society.

Greenwich Time readers are fleeing to the web, because this local kitty litter liner is unable or unwilling to take it's readers to level of understanding and insight that they want.

If the Greenwich news paper publishers can't deliver a product that carefully balances the presentation of relevant of, hard hitting news and commentary without bias then there is an army of fit and trim citizen journalists that will succeed in filling the needs of Greenwich residents and eventually advertisers.

There are blogs less than a year old that reach 10 to 15 percent of the same households that the Greenwich Time reaches.

These blogs that are focusing on the who and why are growing exponentially, while the Greenwich Time is in a downward spiral, as it reproduces Government and Board Of Education press releases.

05/09/09 - Hey Greenwich Time - Glenville School Parents Want To Know - WHY??????


Why Is The Yellowich Time
Afraid To Look Into These Facts?

Are The Small Children Of Glenville School Really Safe In Those Contaminated Classrooms?

WHY - after the Hamilton Avenue School parents hire an attorney did the Board Of Education / Town of Greenwich finally agree to let the parents' paid Industrial Hygienist access to the contaminated modulars, using the agreement changes the parents originally requested when they didn't have an attorney?

WHY - agreeing to grant said access today at 1:00 p.m. was Bob "I Always Cover My Ass" Brown of Hygenix (formerly head of the Town Of Greenwich Health Department) in the contaminated modulars yesterday for hours?

WHY - after agreeing to grant said access was Sue "Please Don't Fire Me" Wallerstein making an emergency visit to the contaminated modulars at 8:00 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. this morning.

AND:

Why did the head maintenance man,
George "I Am Just Doing What I Am Told" Kordis, show up with a maintenance crew at 10:20???????

It looks like the Greenwich Time Reporters are still sitting on their hands waiting for another Board Of Education Press Release.

Once The Greenwich Time Reporters Get That BOE Press Release They Can Run Through A Spell Checker And Publish It On The Front Page.

05/09/08 - Reader Submitted Comments - GreenwichDiva Says - Vote Yes for the new GHS auditorium


Greenwich, CT, one of the wealthiest places in the world to live, yet, it's ONLY public high school auditorium is rank second to last (Bridgeport is ranked lower) in Fairfield County by the state.

To our RTM (Representative Town Meeting) committees, please consider making the new auditorium a priority. Please take these bullet points very seriously and let's do what is right for our children.

GHS Music Instructional Space and Auditorium Project Bullet Points

  • The choral, band and orchestra rooms are half the size they should be.
  • The auditorium holds 31% of our students compared with 61% in comparable communities. State standard is 50%.
  • In Fairfield County, only Bridgeport facilities are ranked lower than GHS by the state.
  • The project will not start till Glenville is completed, but we need to do the architecture/engineering work and get going. The full A&E monies are necessary to answer the questions about zoning, FAR concerns and to obtain viable drawings and proper plans.
  • Delaying the project is the most expensive action we could take to effect the project.
  • The pipeline of performing students from the elementary schools is growing, more so than the slight drop-off in GHS population (100 fewer students over 10 years.)
  • 100-200 students are annually turned away from music/performance/choral offerings; limited space
  • The project is widely supported through petitions (over 4,000 signed) and other town processes - vetted by First Selectman, CIP committee, BET Budget Committee, BET, and by majority vote of committees of RTM.
  • The tax implications are understood and manageable per the BET, taxes will not rise.
  • The construction amount of $23.4M includes 15% contingency, 6% escalation (it is a 'high' estimate), and project management fees. This means the contract will be structured the same as the downtown public safety complex, not like Hamilton Avenue school.
  • The proposed auditorium is equivalent to other comparable schools, not extravagant, not 'Broadway.'

To my fellow Greenwich residents, please contact your district RTM members http://www.greenwichct.org/RTM/RTM.asp (go to 'search RTM member list', then click on 'click here', click on the map of Greenwich, then click on your district and your RTM members names, phone numbers and addresses will come up) and let them know how important Greenwich High School is to our community.
