Two Greenwich residents were charged with disorderly conduct after they were allegedly involved in a physical altercation.
Keith V. Batts, 34, of 27 Wilbur Peck Court, and Chelsey Squire, 27, of the same address, were charged after police discovered they engaged in a verbal argument that escalated and included pushing and shoving by both parties, according to police. No injuries were reported, police said.
Both parties were released on a promise to appear and were scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford Monday.

Dear Friends,
Tonight, at midnight, this crucial financial reporting period will end for Jim’s campaign. Republicans nationally and locally will take a look at this district to determine if they can pick up CT-4 in next fall’s elections. The right-wing has been working hard to show that there is no room for moderation and compromise in Congress--we think they are wrong.
Help us show that independent thinking is not dead in Washington.
Click HERE to make a contribution to Jim’s campaign today.
This week, The New York Times ran a profile of Jim in the Business section highlighting how valuable Jim’s background has proven in Congress. The article said:
Shortly after he beat out the incumbent, Christopher Shays, to win the seat, his expertise landed him a plum assignment on the House Financial Services Committee, where he helped write the House version of the Dodd-Frank Act, the financial regulatory overhaul.
Christopher S. Murphy, a fellow Connecticut Democrat, recalled seeing Mr. Himes giving impromptu economics lessons on the House floor during debates over the contentious bill. “There was always a crowd around Jim,” Mr. Murphy recalled. “He very quickly became a safe harbor for moderate members who wanted to make sure we corrected the abuses of Wall Street without killing the markets.”
We need more representation in Washington like Jim’s, not less. Help us make this filing decisive by clicking HERE and making a contribution before midnight tonight.
Thank you for your support!
Team Himes

To the editor:
It is time to restore transparency and competent leadership to Greenwich town government. Nowhere is that need greater than in our town's continued failure to make public its emergency planning and response, as your columnist Bob Horton detailed in an excellent series of articles on the subject. First Selectman Peter Tesei has demonstrably failed that test of leadership. During the latest storms, Mr. Tesei has insisted on maintaining an undue level of secrecy surrounding these plans, which have left countless residents in the dark wondering who's in charge and what services will or won't be delivered.
As Mr. Horton wrote, it is "folly...having a public official dedicated to directing the town's emergency response and then deciding to keep it a secret from the people it is designed to protect (and who paid for it)."
My vote this November will go to first selectman candidate John Blankley. John has over 40 years of top flight business experience in major public companies, and his working in the world of public company disclosure insures that Greenwich town government will see a return to transparency and competence that has been so sorely lacking. Please join me in voting for John Blankley.

09/29/11 Letter To Editor In Support of BOE Candidacy
To Greenwich Roundup:
I am submitting for publication the following letter to the editor in support of the BOE candidacy of Marianna Ponns Cohen.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Hal Rogers
| To the editor: We are very fortunate to have Marianna Ponns Cohen on our Board of Education. And she deserves our full support for a second term. This is why. Ms. Ponns Cohen has consistently advocated that the Board allocate resources more fairly among our schools, when others haven't. When she joined the Board in 2007, Marianna discovered wide discrepancies in school funding among schools not accounted for by school size. Some schools received over $17,000 per student (New Lebanon) and others received around $7,000 (Riverside). She recommended that the Board review its allocations. Her fellow Board members rejected this self-evident review, though Boards are mandated under Connecticut law to provide "equitable allocation of resources among our schools." Who will have the courage to advocate for that if is she is not there? In addition, prior to her joining the Board, student residency verification was handled at each of our 15 schools, with varying degrees of latitude. As part of responsible stewardship of the Town's funds, Marianna successfully promoted centralized student residency verification to ensure consistent application of the rules. Now there is residency verification at varying entry points in the public school system. Since Greenwich spends $18,400 per student, 10 non-resident students alone would cost our taxpayers almost $185,000. This would divert funds away from educating our students and improving their achievement. Our taxes should be going to educate our Town's students, not out of Town or out of state residents. Marianna's actions are the very definition of responsible leadership. I will vote for Marianna Ponns Cohen on November 8, and expect you would want to do so as well. Hal Rogers Riverside, CT |
