While Greenwich eighth-graders made gains across the board on the spring exam, and scores were up in science, performance slipped in math, reading and writing among most elementary and middle school students. Seventh-graders saw a 7 percent drop in writing scores, after four years of around 76 percent of students consistently meeting the state’s goal.

With the police department having a deputy chief for the first time in years, Chief David Ridberg is reorganizing the command structure of the department's administration.
Effective Monday, the department will have three captains heading three divisions; with Deputy Chief James Heavey leading another.
"We have not added or taken away any divisions. We are providing all same services," Ridberg said. The department will have a command structure of three captains reporting to the deputy chief and chief. Until Heavey's promotion, the department's four captains reported to the chief.
"It's not too different from what we have now," Ridberg said. "Deputy Chief Heavey will be taking over the professional standards function, that is a division that is responsible for internal affairs, personnel and hiring issues. He will be a liaison like a personnel officer; testing policies and procedures; the testing for new hires; policies and procedures."
Ridberg added, "We knew there would be a deputy chief for months, so we have been thinking about this for a while. We wanted to do this with a minimal amount of change for the most officers."

Ned Coll is right back where he started -- in Greenwich. Nearly four decades after making a test case out of the residents-only beach access policy here, the 71-year-old activist returned to town Wednesday on his latest crusade.
The Junior League of Greenwich recently held "The Greenwich Cotillion 2011" at the Tomes-Higgins House. Presented as debutantes and honored for their year-long activities and community service were Arianna Talbot Arca, Elizabeth Miller Arenz, Anna-Sophia Elisabeth Haub, Laurel Meredith Weill and Catherine Diktynna Talbot Wiener.
The day's festivities began with a welcome from Chris Stewart Zadik, president of the Junior League of Greenwich. This year's debutantes, she said, "represent the values we hold dear: passion, compassion and civic responsibility."
Zadik's welcome was followed by an introduction from Master of Ceremonies Albert Edwin Betteridge III, which was followed by the presentation of the debutantes. A highlight of the event was the debutante dance, where proud fathers danced with their debutante daughters to "Blue Danube."

Greenwich is used to celebs roaming the streets. It’s counted Glenn Close, Mel Gibson, Kathy Lee Gifford, and Diana Ross among its residents. But the town may have never seen star power quite like this before.
Yesterday, The Wedding (which was once titled Gently Down The Stream) began filming in Greenwich with an all star cast that includes Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Katherine Heigl, Ben Barnes, Topher Grace, Robin Williams, Susan Sarandon and Amanda Seyfried.
This week the movie’s set is a house on Standwich Road, but they also looking to shoot a night scene at theBurning Tree Country Club in town soon.
In The Wedding De Niro and Keaton play a divorced couple who pretend to still be married for the wedding of their adopted son, played by Ben Barnes. Heigl plays their biological daughter.
Filming is expected to continue in Greenwich through the end of August.
As Regis Philbin prepares to say goodbye to his morning talk show, "Live," at the end of the year, the television icon is also looking to unload some real estate.
Philbin has put one of his two Greenwich, Conn., homes on the market for $3.8 million, according to Zillow.com.
The French colonial, which Philbin purchased 20 years ago, sits on 6 acres and boasts four bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a tennis court, pool and gazebo. The veteran host, 79, first tried to sell the property in 2008 for $5.9 million, according to the Wall Street Journal, but couldn't find a buyer because of the dip in the market.
A conference call to discuss the company's results will be held at 4:30 pm (ET) on that day, July 21.
Members of the public who would like to listen to the conference call should dial 877-324-1965 (U.S. domestic) and 631-291-4512 (international).

STEVE D’AGOSTINO TO PERFORM AT ROGER SHERMAN BALDWIN PARK
The Department of Parks and Recreation announces that Steve D’Agostino will be performing at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park on Wednesday, July 20 from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. The rain date will be on Thursday, July 21.
Steve D’Agostino has been performing for more than 20 years the songs from The Great American Songbook with an emphasis on the era from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Tony Bennett. Steve began his musical training quite young. At the age of 8 he studied guitar and jazz guitar with Tony Perone and Sal Salvador. By the age of 14 Steve was playing guitar with the University of Bridgeport Big Band called Collage under the direction of Gary Riggerio.
Singing began at the age of 16 with his first band called Finesse back in the early 80’s where Steve transitioned from playing guitar to vocalists. Steve’s smooth phrasing on ballads and swinging style has taken him from coast to coast performing in Las Vegas at the Paris Casino Hotel to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Ct.
Steve maintains the tradition of this music today adding his own flair without impersonating any of the great artists that came before him. Many say that he sounds like a cross between Sinatra and Darin.
Now is your chance to see this great performer in your own backyard in Greenwich.
Bring your family, a blanket, and a picnic dinner and enjoy a wonderful night of music under the stars.
For weather cancelation information please call 203-618-7650 after 4pm.
Roger Sherman Baldwin Park is located on Arch St. Next to the Island Beach Ferry Dock.
For more information please visit our website at www.greenwichct.org, or call 203-618-7649.
Other Wednesday night performances are:
July 27 – Gunsmoke - Country
August 3 – Octopuses Garden – Beatles tribute
August 10 – The Bearcats - Jazz
Any help is much obliged.
Thanks

Jack Moffly, founder of Greenwich Magazine, is not the sort given to hysteria and overreaction. That is why his column in the July issue which just hit the newsstand is a must read if you are a Greenwich resident concerned about the state of our schools.
It demonstrates that core Greenwich insiders are not about to keel over and be manipulated by the Nixonian PR express of the current BOE chairman and his PTA sycophants.
I am generally not in the business of promoting competitors. Since Hearst Newspapers does compete with Greenwich Magazine for advertising dollars, I suppose you could consider us competitors. Nonetheless, I urge you to go to your local newsstand, pay the five bucks, buy the latest Greenwich Magazine and turn to Page 25. I would have linked to the article, but Greenwich Magazine doesn’t post their articles online.
The column demonstrates what is happening in Greenwich given the test of time and sober analysis by intelligent people since the sudden resignation by Sid Freund and the campaign by BOE chairman Steve Anderson to deflect the embarrassment of his guy quitting halfway through his contract and to turn the event into an opportunity to attack his detractors.....
