04/06/10 Reader Submitted Comments: Greenwich Police Department Is One Sided

Dear Greenwich Roundup,

Just recently police were called to a house in Greenwich after there was a disturbance reported.

Meghan Grabarz who is the daughter of retired police officer Michael Grabarz came to pick up and drop off someone who was visiting the house. There was someone at the residence who police had told to stay away from Meghan Grabarz yet knowing that the person was there she proceeded to pull up in front of the house.

The person who police told to stay away, saw Meghan Grabarz pull up outside.

Meghan Grabarz had told someone at that house that she was going to kill that person who had been ordered by the Greenwich Police to stay away from.

This person who saw Meghan Grabarz pull up proceeded to go over to her vehicle and confront her regarding the threat.

She then proceeded to speed away, while yelling out the window.

About 15 minutes a police officer by the name of Mike who is in charge of the K-9 unit, showed up. He then asked to speak to the individual who was involved in the altercation.

Mike proceeded to use extreme profanity against this person telling this person "that he could arrest you motherf***** on the spot and I can kick your ass while I'm doing it."

Which is a verbal threat by a police officer.

Also Officer Mike told this person that the road was not owned by them so Meghan Grabarz therefore could be there outside the house. He then went on to explain that this person was at fault.

In fact 911 had not been called, Meghan Grabarz went to her father Michael Grabarz, who then sent a police car over to the residence.

Officer Mike used extreme profanity, to a person who had not made any verbal threats or jestures toward him, and was trying to intimidate the individual.

Officer Mike then came back later to inform this person that everything was ok, and that if this person ever went to the Grabarz household or even was parked outside they would be arrested.

Also if anything vandalism was done to the household that they would come to that person first.

Finally the Officer Mike explained that he is a friend of Michael Grabarz and that if they did anything he would take it personally, and Michael Grabarz was not involved with the altercation.

A similar situation happened in which Meghan Grabarz had an issue with another person, and regardless of what this person, the Greenwich Police, came into this persons house with no warning and no warrant.

The Greenwich Police are one sided and continue to be with any issues involving family members or friends of them, who are involved in altercations, even though that they are at fault.

The Greenwich Police department is functioning in a non productive manner by doing this.

They are wasting man power and time by doing this.

The police need to focus on more important issues such as domestic violence rather than worrying about what problems they need to fix in which their friend or family member is at fault for.

The situation of Meghan and Michael Grabarz is just an example of how the department is run.

To those who know someone who have an issue with anyone involved in the police department should be careful because the same thing could happen to them.

COMMENT:

It is a shame that the Greenwich Police Department youth officer could not help mediate this situation with Meghan Grabarz and others.

Sending A K-9 officer Mike Macchia who is cursing at the young people doesn't seem to be very helpful and appears to be adding fuel to the fire.

Perhaps these young folks should could sit down and resolve there differences with Greenwich High School Resource Officer Carlos Franco or School Resource Sargent Michael Reynolds.

Or maybe the best solution would be to refer Meghan Grabarz and other these kids over to over to the Greenwich Social Services Department,

Since Meghan come from a Greenwich Police Department family and previous police encounters about Meghan Grabarz's problems with others seem to have not went so well.

Three teenagers were arrested Sunday after police responded to Ritch Avenue on report of a fight, police said. When police arrived, a victim was located and found to have several bruises to his face and a laceration to his torso.

The victim told police he was assaulted by three teenagers. Several hours later, the three suspects were located. Police said the teenagers had called the victim's cell phone several hours before the fight to set up the incident.

George Ramirez 19, of 231 Hamilton Ave., Danny Mogollon, 18, of 17 Stone Ave., and a 17-year-old male from Greenwich were all arrested, and charged with third-degree assault, disorderly conduct and third-degree conspiracy at assault.

A 16-year-old boy was taken into custody this afternoon following a 15 minutes pursuit through central Greenwich.

Around 1 p.m., the Greenwich Police Department received a call from the principal of school in town alerting officers that the teen had left the school.

The Greenwich Police Department refuses to identify the school.

The pursuit ended at the Wilbur Peck Court Housing Complex according to the Greenwich Police Department.

The 16 year old was detained and taken into custody.

Several hours later, police were still investigating and it was not clear whether the boy would be charged with any offenses.

The Greenwich police did locate a knife after finding the teenager and thinks that it may be related to him.

04/05/10 Greenwich Residents Joe Howley And Peter Ryan Treated Unjustly By Angel Flight

Clash could imperil missions of mercy

Angel Flight of New England aviators, founder in power struggle

For the pilots who donate their time to Angel Flight of New England Inc., the mission — flying sick patients to medical appointments for free — has always been more important than how the organization was run.

That changed abruptly last year, when a power struggle erupted between the nonprofit’s founder and the board. Now, pilots worry the in-house upheaval could put Angel Flight at risk, with major donors threatening to withhold money, and each side complaining to the Massachusetts attorney general of improprieties by the other.

The battle started last summer, when Angel Flight board members objected to founder and executive director Lawrence Camerlin paying his daughter $80,000 a year for an outreach position....

....Camerlin said that he fired the directors because they had alluded to possible lawsuits without being specific. “We felt they were in violation of their fiduciary responsibilities. They wouldn’t give us information about claims likely to be filed against us,’’ he said.

Under Angel Flight’s bylaws, “members’’ of the organization have the authority to replace the board of directors. And the only two members of Angel Flight are Camerlin and his wife, Ruth.

Thomas A. McLaughlin, vice president at the Nonprofit Finance Fund, which consults to charities, said a founder should not have the power to fire a board.

“This is a highly unusual governance structure in a nonprofit public charity,’’ McLaughlin said....

...One of the organization’s biggest fund-raisers is Joe Howley, a former director at the center of the fight with Camerlin. A commodities trader from Greenwich, Conn., Howley first raised the issue of Camerlin’s daughter, Amy, at a board meeting in July. He was fired five months later.

Amy Camerlin, 34, started working for Angel Flight about 1999, her father said in an interview. She earned $78,840 in 2007, according to the latest tax filing....

....on Dec. 3, Angel Flight’s lawyer fired Howley in a letter. The reason: He alleged Howley had had an outburst in the hotel, late on the night of the fund-raiser, that “reflected poorly on the company.’’

E-mails between donors and pilots say Camerlin was alleging that Howley lashed out at the hotel staff for not delivering beer to a hospitality suite for an after-party with donors.

Directors and Angel Flight officials who were present that night said Camerlin did not witness the exchange between Howley and hotel staff, and exaggerated what took place.

“I don’t understand what I did to deserve the way that Larry treated me,’’ Howley said in an interview. He said he had tried to raise the issue of Amy Camerlin’s employment without hurting anyone’s reputation. “What he did in return for that was to take the most vicious track to embarrass and insult me and get rid of me.’’

Asked why he had not consulted with other directors before firing Howley, Camerlin said, “We never acted unilaterally in 14 years. This was the first time.’’

From there, events unfolded quickly. The remaining eight board members wrote to Camerlin, protesting Howley’s firing. Camerlin never replied, the board members said....

.....After the new year, the board proposed an emergency telephone conference for Jan. 11 to discuss Howley’s dismissal and the shuttering of the Woburn office without consulting the board.

But on Jan. 8, they all received letters from an Angel Flight lawyer, informing them they had been removed in a vote by the members — Larry and Ruth Camerlin.....

.....In February, a group of the fired directors and their lawyer went to Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office and detailed the firings, and alleged misuse of charitable funds, including for Amy Camerlin’s salary and the Camerlin family’s using an Angel Flight credit card for personal expenses, according to three people who were at the meeting.....

.....Former pilots and directors said they never wanted a fight with Camerlin; they just wanted to fly patients.

“I have no animus against Larry,’’ said Peter Ryan, a pilot and former Angel Flight director from Greenwich, Conn. “I’m just distressed at the sadness of all of this. In the end, the patients will suffer.’’

04/05/10 Hey, Greenwich Time, Get Ready For Bloomberg!

Will Greenwich Time Business Editor Jim Zebora Be Absorbed Into Bloomberg's Gleaming Mothership, Where Billions Are Made

Another struggling Hearst newspaper called the San Francisco Chronicle is combining powers with Boomberg News' San Francisco bureau to launch a beefed up daily business section.

Starting eight days ago, the "Business Report" in print editions, and on both of the Chronicle's websites, will offer news and reporting from both Chronicle and Bloomberg reporters.

The Hearst-owned Chronicle can use all the help they can get from the blow they took in 2009: The daily paper took a the largest drop in circulation out of any other U.S. paper during the six-month period ending in September 2009. They lost 25.8% of their subscribers, to 251,782 of them, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

Will The Greenwich Time Be Kissing

Rupert Murdock's Wall Street Journal Goodbye?

Currently, the money losing Greenwich Time covers the hedge fund industry with a Wall Street Journal insert in its Sunday edition.

Will Bloomberg come to Greenwich and hone in on Greenwich Hedge Funds and regional real estate, jobs, personal finance?

Currently Bloomberg helps the Greenwich Time with a weekly local stock performance recap.

Could adding Bloomberg reports to the Greenwich Time's daily business section be an essential read for business, financial and technology coverage of Greenwich and Fairfield County?

04/05/10 What Ever Happened To Greenwich Citizen Editor Don Harrison

Owen Canfield: Book Sheds Light On Baseball In Connecticut

Hartford Courant

Connecticut Baseball — The Best of the Nutmeg State" is in its second printing. The History Press is the publisher. Don Harrison of Fairfield is the author.

It has been a number of years since Harrison and I have spoken and when he called, concerning another matter, it was a pleasant surprise. We cut up old touches for a while and then he mentioned the book.

Former baseball commissioner Fay Vincent wrote the forward, which immediately gives the work a high degree of credibility and panache. It presents interviews with 25 Connecticut players who had careers in the majors including such well-known personalities as Steve Blass, Bobby Valentine, Walt Dropo, Spec Shea, Charles Nagy, Jimmy Piersall, Johnny Ellis, Rico Brogna and Billy Gardner. Most of the interviews previously appeared in other publications, but Harrison did many of them and the bulk of the writing.

There's a chapter on umpires, notably Terry Tata, and a list, with various stats, of "175 native sons who played in the majors. I started compiling that in 1960," said the expert chronicler of the American pastime, a baseball addict all his life.

The book goes back to the Hartford Dark Blues of 1876 and Harrison did the research for it until he was blue in the face. Dark blue.

Harrison was sports editor of the Waterbury Republican American from 1967 to '81. His time there coincided with many of my years as a sports writer and columnist for The Courant. We covered a good many national, state and local sports events together.

He left sports writing that year and "went corporate".....

Wait A Minute:

Ex- Hartford Courant Sports Editor Owen Canfield Is Recommending A Book By Ex-Greenwich Citizen Editor Don Harrison, Even Though He Has Not Even Read The Book.

Harrison's book can be had for $19.99 but he has promised to put one in the mail to me as a gift.

Because I know Harrison's baseball expertise and ability, "Connecticut Baseball" will be a fine addition to my sports library.

No Wonder That Owen Canfield Is The Former Sports Editor At The Hartford Courant And Is Only Allowed To Write A Monthly Column At The Paper.

Twin passions - newspapers and baseball - provided the impetus for Don Harrison's early career in sportswriting. In a sense, they have led to Connecticut Baseball: The Best of the Nutmeg State, his new book about Connecticut's myriad contributions to Major League Baseball. Don Harrison is an award-winning sports writer and has written articles for The Sporting News, Sports Quarterly-Baseball, The New York Times, Connecticut magazine, Waterbury Republican-American, the Greenwich Citizen, and dozens of other publications.

Is Don Harrison Playing With The Numbers At
The Greenwich Citizen Website?

.....Don Harrison over at Hearst Newspaper's Greenwich Citizen publishes a misleading 42,500 Unique Visitor Figure.....

.....But if you read the ad in Don Harrison's newspaper closely, you will find the rounded up 42,000 figure is not for just the Greenwich Citizen. It is for the Darien News-Review, the Fairfield Citizen News, the Greenwich Citizen, the New Canaan News-Review, the Norwalk Citizen and the Westport News.

And the reason that Don Harrison won't publish the complacent Greenwich Citizen's web stats openly and independently is that Greenwich Roundup probably gets more web traffic than his so-called news web site.

If you were to evenly divide the 42,000 Unique Visitor number that was published in the Greenwich Citizen by all six Brooks Community Newspapers you would get an estimated number of 8,082 Unique Visitors a month or about 267 Unique Visitors per day.

Bloggers like Chris Fountain at For What It's Worth and Claudette Rothman at Greenwich Diva consistently beat Greenwich Citizen's number day and day out. Greenwich real estate advertisers would probably get a bigger bang for their buck if they bought a web ad from Chris instead of the Greenwich Citizen. .....

It is so easy for the Greenwich Citizen's Chain Newspaper Publisher and Editors to sit behind a desk and pontificate about the the rights that Americans enjoy, because so many paid the ultimate cost.

But it was to hard for the Greenwich Citizen's Chain Newspaper Publisher and Editors to get off their butts and cover democracy in action.

The Greenwich Citizen turned a blind eye to Greenwich High School students who exercised their free speech rights and wore "Don't Tase Me Bro" T-shirts to school to protest a fellow 140 pound water balloon throwing student getting up to 50,000 volts three different times.

Greenwich Citizen ignored ignored the towns youngest patriots as they engaged in an act of civil disobedience and stagged a sit in in the Greenwich High School Student Center and refused to go to class wearing those, "Don't Tase Me Bro" T-shirts.

It is a shame that minor children are not afraid of the powers that be, but the Publisher and Editors of the Greenwich Citizen are to afraid of upsetting the establishment to cover the news......
