08/04/09 Reader Submitted Comments: Article Removal Request

This is my third email to you and I hope you'd respond out of kindness if not on humanitarian grounds. On December 21, 2007, my son, Rupert and I were victims of counterfeit travelers' check scam and we were arrested. Greenwich Roundup published the story online. Since then the case has been dismissed. I have been so angry about to the arrest to the extent that I requested and received my finger prints and mug shot back. I even made sure that the FBI delete the record of the arrest from all their files and they did. I have everything in writing.

The problem is I'm a respectable business person and these days all my business partners Google me and they see the article about our arrest as reported by Greenwich Roundup. I'm losing potentials deals because of your article. Would you please be kind and remove it since all charges has been dismissed. If not would you please print that the all charges were dismissed on April 4th 2009?

If you want proof of the dismissal tell me where I should send it. I hope on a humanitarian level, you can understand the devastation your article about our arrest, which is still online continues to cause me personally as well as my business and you will remove it. I'd immensely appreciate it. Don't hesitate to call me if necessary. 203 918-2326. Thanks.

Dear Ms. Darko,

This is the first time that I saw your email. I only learned about your email after you called today. I only found this email, but the others may have went into the spam filter at GreenwichRoundup@gmail.com . All emails to Greenwich Roundup's gmail account are forwarded to this blog and become drafts for postings. Many of these drafts are deleted and some are posted.

If I were to remove your post this will take a bit of time, because the old blogger template that I have requires me to go back 100 posts at a time to remove your post.

There could be between 2,000 to 2,500 posts since the December 2007 posting.

Update:

I located the article and it has been removed

Physical Altercation at Shopping Plaza

On Sunday, August 2, 2009 at approximately 11:30 A.M., members of the
Uniformed Services Division responded to the parking lot of the
Riverside Commons, a small shopping mall, located at 1233 East Putnam
Avenue on a report of a large group of individuals involved in a
physical altercation where baseball bats were possibly being used as
weapons.

On arrival of police personnel it was determined that a large group
of Hispanic males had dispersed from the area in several different
vehicles.

Further inquires revealed that the individuals left in four vehicles
and a subsequent description of the vehicles was disseminated to
local police units.

The four vehicles were subsequently observed and detained by
uniformed officers throughout the eastern section of town.

During the detention of the individuals information was developed
that this matter might be connected to illegal activity involving a
blue van located in the Riverside Commons.

A blue van was located in the aforementioned parking lot and the
driver was subsequently located within the parking lot by uniformed
police personnel.

ICE in Connecticut has arrested four people for immigration
violations.

They are currently detained by ICE pending further investigation.

This case is currently under investigation and discussing any
further details about this case will be inappropriate.

Group Reading Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation (GRADE) - Pre K-Adult is a scientifically-researched, comprehensive reading assessment that determines developmentally what skills students have mastered and where they need instruction or intervention.

(2) Progress monitoring: with parallel forms, students can be tested up to four times a year, growth can be measured from fall to spring or from year to year or grade to grade

(3) Placement and planning: results can be used to place students in appropriate instructional groups, enrichment programs, or develop IEP's

08/01/09 Reader Submitted Comments About Greenwich Roundup

Good evening,

I have been researching alternative online newspapers and, having grown
up in Greenwich and with family still there, I came across Greenwich
Roundup. I'm impressed with your product.

I would like to launch an online newspaper in my New Hampshire town
because the semi-weekly print paper here is terrible. I was wondering if
you would share some of your experience with me. For example, I notice
that you use stories from other newspapers, e.g., CT Post. Do you need
to obtain permission to use their articles? Did you need to incorporate
or form an LLC to provide liability protection? Any other suggestions
would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Frank Ferraro

Dear Frank,

Congratulations on your desire to become a citizen journalist and add another voice to your town. You do not need to get permission to use headlines and snippets of content from other news web sites, because these news links are considered fair use under the current copyright laws.

I personally did not form a corporation or LLC, even though this is probably a good idea.

The only suggestion I have is just to start blogging the word will quickly get out in your town about the availability of another news source. People are hungry for hyper local news reporting and will respond to your efforts.

Currently Greenwich Roundup gets between 1,600 and 2,400 unique visitors per day and this is in a town of only 60,000 persons.

Yesterday we had 1,158 unique visitors.

Here at Greenwich Roundup we wish you all the best in your new career as a citizen journalist.
