10/15/11 John Blankley And Drew Marzullo An Ideal Team To Lead Greenwich
To the editor:
As Election Day approaches on November 8, the outcome of the Board of Selectman race will have significant bearing on the future direction of our town over the next few years. I would like to offer my encouragement and support for Drew Marzullo and John Blankley for the Board of Selectman.
I strongly believe that these candidates deserve thoughtful consideration and your vote. Drew, as an incumbent selectman, has proven to be an exemplary public servant and has had a significant positive impact on numerous people in our town. He has undoubtedly earned the right to be re-elected.
Among his many accomplishments, Drew has been a strong champion for public safety issues and been a consistent advocate for those among us who need a voice in government. Those of us who have had an opportunity to work with Drew on issues understand that he is accessible, humble and cares deeply for all Greenwich residents.
John Blankley is an outstanding candidate for first selectman. John is not a career politician, but a man with tremendous integrity and intelligence who is also a successful businessman and entrepreneur. John is a proven leader and manager who has a track record of success in the private sector. We need a leader who possesses these skills to lead our town through these challenging times and make difficult decisions that are in the best interest of our town.
Please join me in supporting John Blankley and Drew Marzullo on November 8.

10/15/11 Greenwich Apple Guru Upstart Prospers As A New Fast Growing Business Chain
PHOTO: Gadget fixer Brendan McElroy is building a brand by doing iPhone repairs that the “Genius Bar” at Apple stores won’t usually doA swarm of Apple gadgets with cracked screens, dead buttons, and lost data is leaving repair desks at the tech giant's slick retail stores-- and moving toward upstart shops like "Dr. Brendan's Mac Repair" in Byram the New York Post reports.
The chain has quickly grown into three stores since the first opened last fall with additions in Brooklyn and the Byram section of Greenwich, Conn., and has plans for several more New York-area stores in the coming year.
iRepair iPhones
Apple guru beats geniuses at the bar
Clients include 33-year-old Perri Gorman who, in addition to getting her iPhone 4 repaired, recently paid to switch the body to a lime-green color with a bright pink home button. (Total cost: $160).
“People are constantly stopping me on the street asking ‘Where did you get that?’” Gorman says.
Last year, McElroy had built a neighborhood reputation by repairing iPhones out of his fifth-floor apartment -- a side gig he developed after repairing his own iPhone with parts he bought off eBay.
“I had as many as 20 to 30 customers a day coming into my living room,” McElroy told The Post, noting he had lured clients with flyers and ads on Craigslist. “The other tenants weren’t too crazy about that.”
The St. Marks shop -- whose exposed-brick walls and sleek counter-tops evoke Apple’s cool aesthetic -- is already expanding into a second storefront across the street to help meet the expected 100 percent growth McElroy is forecasting, an increasing share of which is coming from business customers.
“We all own and love Apple products, and I think they offer a fair policy of backing up their product,” McElroy says, brushing off the notion that he’s a competitor. “When it comes to out-of-warranty repairs, Apple has to draw the line somewhere.”
Nevertheless, some clients say they came to McElroy’s store partly out of frustration with the service at Apple’s “Genius Bar.” Confronted with cracked screens and dead home buttons, techies at the Genius Bar frequently suggest buying a new gadget rather than replacing it.
“With the Genius Bar, you have to wait and wait for an appointment and they’re never on time,” gripes Victoria Phillips, a 31-year-old writer. “It’s a pain in the ass.”
McElroy -- who, less than three years ago, was still tending bar in Hell’s Kitchen -- says he’s angling to open as many as 20 stores across five states in the next two years, with New Jersey and California locations likely.
The growth will be mostly self-funded, according to McElroy, though he’s also in talks with regional partners.

GREENWICH HIGH SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING UPDATE
Field 6 Opens This Weekend!
Site Status Recap:
West (back) Parking Lot – The west parking lot is open for use.
Fields 6 & 7 (Turf) – Field 6 will be open, with conditions for use, on Sunday, October 16, 2011. Field 7 remains closed and in order to use Field 6, additional adult supervision designated by Town officials, must be provided to restrict access to Field 7. Interim remediation efforts for Field 7 are nearing completion. The interim remediation included removing shallow soil (the top 6 inches), disposing of the soil at a permitted facility, and restoring the area with clean topsoil and grass. A report of activities will be submitted to EPA, DEEP, and DPH along with a request to open Field 7 for use.
Fields 3 & 4 (Turf) – Fencing has been installed around fields 3 & 4. Plans outlining the interim remediation efforts for these fields were submitted to the EPA, DEEP and DPH for approval. Once approved, the interim remediation will be implemented and a request to open fields 3 & 4 and the bleacher access will be submitted.
Original time estimates for opening these fields next week have been delayed.
Fields 2 &5 (Grass) –Interim remediation plans for field 2 were submitted to the EPA, DEEP, and DPH which details removing soil from a small area of shallow soil contamination. This work is tentatively scheduled to begin October 14, 2011, pending regulatory approval. This will allow for fall field maintenance to be completed before winter. At field 5, the results
of testing of shallow soil show no PCBs present in the field area and low levels of PCBs (less
than 1ppm) in the grass covered outfield.
Therefore, a request was submitted to the regulators to open field 5 for use.
Environmental Study Status Recap:
Immediate Next Steps: A comprehensive
environmental study of the soil beneath the
proposed MISA Auditorium began in early
October. Soil samples were collected and are in
the process of being analyzed. Draft study
findings will be available October 28, 2011.
Public Health: As described by the DPH at our
public meeting, to be exposed to health risks
associated with PCBs, one must come into
contact with the material (i.e., directly touching
it, breathing it, or ingesting it). The potential
risks will also vary by individual depending on
how often the contact is made, the general health
of the individual, age, etc. Areas of potential
environmental concern will be removed or
fenced (thus isolating people from contacting the
materials). All facilities will remained closed
until they are “cleared” for use by EPA, DEEP
and DPH.
Project Background and Future Plans
Since the discovery of PCB impacts during construction
activities, the Town has moved quickly to address this
issue. The Town has performed a site-wide
investigation of surface soil and is performing Interim
Remediation Measures (IRM) with approval by the
EPA, DEEP and DPH to allow utilization of athletic
facilities.
A full-scale environmental investigation and
remediation program is also being developed for the
entire site. The full-scale program involves three
phases. The first phase will include investigation of soil,
groundwater, and on-site surface water and sediments.
This investigation will be developed in conjunction with
state and federal regulatory agencies and then
implemented. The second phase will be to finalize
remedial plans to address impacted areas identified
during the site investigation. The remedial plan will
require review and approval from the state and federal
regulatory agencies. The third stage will be to
implement the approved remedial plans.
Middle School Interscholastic Sports Program:
The Interscholastic Sports Program at all three schools is up and running. The game schedule for all three schools will begin the week of October 17th.
Ongoing Communications:
Public Updates will continue on a monthly basis at a minimum, and more frequently as needed. The Public Updates are posted on the GPS Web Site, and are sent via email and/or Parentlink to GPS families, GHS neighbors, community officials, and the local media.
Also, the Town of Greenwich and its contractor AECOM will develop a Public Participation Plan (PPP) available beginning early November. This plan will outline our communications and outreach program for the project, which will include the schedule for full-scale environmental remediation.
