03/18/08 - Hey Betty, Who In The heck Is Away Testing Anyway - Are These Guys Qualified To Do The Job.

Who Are You?

Maybe, Betty "You Can Trust Me" Sternberg Can Start Having A Fair And Open Investigation And Start Providing Everyone With Away Testing's Credentials.

Glenville And Hamilton Avenue School Parents Can't Find This Information.

I Also Have Been Unable To Find Information On This Testing Company.

Why Is It So Hard To Find Information On This So Called "Qualified Testing Company."

Who Are They?

Are They Qualified?

Why is there no listing in Connecticut, New York or New Jersey for the "company" named Away Testing or whatever the full name is?

The single family home owner's whose tax bill will increase can find no licensing information, etc.

Just exactly who is this company hired by Sternberg to "test" the modulars?
Dose This So Called "Testing" Company Have Any Conflicts?

It Is Clear That Betty's Architectural Expert John Brice Has Conflicts

03/17/08 - "It's not just one classroom, it's the whole school," Tom Hardman of the Modular Building Institute said, "It's a bad situation all around.

The Greenwich Board of Education officials said they are still in "investigation mode" and that they, as well as the town, intend to separately hire more independent experts to identify the problems.

Where are the Independent Experts.


FAIR WARNING TO TOWN EMPLOYEES: If there is a Town Employee that has information, instead of waiting to see the outcome of the mold investigation, he should ante it up now! If he doesn't, he is just as guilty as those already covering up this crime against the children of Hamilton Avenue.

Grenwich School's Architectual Boy Is John Brice, AIA. His Firm Is The Geddis Patrnership. This Archetecual Firm Is Heavily Dependent On School And Government Contracts.

It Probably Would Not Be Wise For John Brice, AIA To Upset The Former Connecticut State Education Commissioner And All Of Her Contacts. The Single Family Homeowner Taxpayer's Of Greenwich Deserve A Truely Open And Independent Review Of What Went Wrong At The Contaminated Classrooms At Hamilton Avenue School.

John Brice, AIA found material, which APPEARED TO BE a type of vapor barrier, in the wrong position.

Maybe, it's hard for Johns Brice AIA to make a determination, because Betty "You Can Trust Me" Sternberg's administration had the building walls demolished before John Brice AIA showed up.

And:

03/14/08 - More testing is needed to determine the safety of the classrooms before architects and engineers will go in to investigate the mold

Why doesn't Betty "You Can Trust Me" Sternberg put John Brice's Photo's of The Modular classroom inspection on the Greenwich School Website for all of Hamilton Avenue's parents to see.

John Brice, AIA Seems To Confused

First John Brice, AIA says...

While the manufacturer submitted drawings showing the barrier placed in the correct position, Brice found material, which appeared to be a type of vapor barrier, in the wrong position.

Then John Brice, AIA says...

"There was either no vapor barrier or it was placed on the wrong side," Brice said.

Hey, john what was it?

Was there a barrier or wasn't there a barrier?

The Greenwich Board of Education officials said they are still in "investigation mode" and that they, as well as the town, intend to separately hire more independent experts to identify the problems.

Where are the Independent Experts.

Hey, There is no confict here...

John Brice, AIA, is an active politician that was elected to his town’s School Board. John's school board and school is a member in many of the same associations that Betty Sternberg's School Board and school is.

Modular flaws went undetected

By Hoa Nguyen
Greenwich Time - Staff Writer

As the head of a trade association for manufacturers and dealers of commercial modular buildings, Tom Hardiman has frequently seen the industry tarnished from instances where mold is found growing in portable classrooms.

But the case of the mold found at Hamilton Avenue School modular buildings, displacing all of the students, ranks as one of the worst, said Hardiman, the head of the Charlottesville, Va.-based Modular Building Institute....

But Tom Hardman Doesn't Know That The Mold Was Detected By The School District Over One Year Ago...

Please see:

03/13/08 - Just How Much Are The Taxpayers Of Greenwich Paying Superintendent Betty Sternberg And Her Failed Administrators To Lie To The Public?

The Greenwich Time Article goes on to say .....Officials at Miller Building Systems, the subcontractors that built the classrooms in its Leola, Pa., factory, could not be reached for comment. NTA, Inc., a Nappanee, Ind.-based firm that submitted a letter to the Greenwich building department certifying that the modular structures met all the necessary state building codes, also could not be reached for comment. The state building official who told Greenwich officials that NTA was licensed to perform third-party inspections also could not be reached for comment....

Maybe these potential sources are not talking because Betty "You Can Trust Me" Sternberg is not seeing that a full, fair, independent and open investigation is being conducted into why little children were KNOWINGLY allowed to be placed in a contaminated modular school building.

Please see...

03/13/08 - Former PTA president Laura DiBella said parents had reported that their children having frequent headaches, nausea, nosebleeds, and ......

And...

03/05/08 - "I don't think they looked into the water problem," Mina Bibeault said. "We've put up with a lot and they've put our kids at risk."


It is begining to look like Hamilton Avenue Parents are going to need the services of a lawyer and the court system, because Betty Sternberg and The Board Of Education won't come clean about what happened to those little children.

Eventually, this Board Of Education coverup is going to be exposed, when failed school administrators, architects, contractors, engineers and testing companies start getting sued by parents whose children were allowed to sit in a contaminated modular classroom for over one year.

A lot of school administrators and others knew about the contamination for more than a year.

There are going to be a lot of mad mothers coming after John Brice, AIA if he does not fully and openly disclose what happened to thier children.

Now these other Greenwich School Board Paid contractors, engineers and testing companies had better make sure that Hamilton Avenue parents are getting full disclosure or they may find their butts in court face claims of substantial liability.

Golder goes it alone

Quote:

"I can say there have been some threats made to him in the prisoner van and while he has been in the holding cell in Bridgeport Correctional," Ehring said.

Story:

After previous threats from fellow prisoners during trips to court, a judge has granted a request by Alan Golder, the suspect accused of being the stealthy "Dinnertime Bandit" jewelry burglar, to be brought to hearings by himself.

Since his arrest by Greenwich police in December, other prisoners have threatened Golder, 53, public defender Howard Ehring, Golder's attorney said yesterday....

... Ehring said he expected some discussion in a court hearing today on Golder's requests to have charges and evidence thrown out based on his questioning the validity of testimony of a burglary victim who identified Golder as the masked man who confronted her in her home.

Golder also argues authorities illegally extradited him from Europe, and that federal authorities reneged on a promise to put him in a witness protection program to shield him from vengeful organized crime figures due to his 1980 testimony about a Manhattan jewelry fencing ring.

Golder is being held at the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Facility in Suffield on $3 million bond and is scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford today. Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Valdes, the prosecutor in the case, declined comment on the case.
