01/15/07 - My Neigbor Barbra Came By Tonight To Say She Was Worried About My Wife. I Told Her Things Were Much Better

My neighbor said,"It is a shame how the police still continue to bother you and your wife."

I told her today was much better. There had been no police cars following us for long periods or time or patrol cars stopping in front of or near the store for long periods of time.

I told her I had not had any trouble since last night.

I said that since I had called Sargent Lombardi last night, I had not seen a police car all day or night.

However, I told her that another neighbor said that the Byram Patrol Car had been posted all night down at the Fire Station, right in the heart of the Byram Business District.

01/15/08 - Even More Complaints About How Byram Was Hit Hard With Gang Related Graffiti This Weekend

This morning I went to get my morning news paper at State Line Stationary in Byram and the gentleman behind the counter noticed my picture on the cover of the Greenwich Time.
He started telling me how his business received the gang graffiti and how something has to be done about all of the kids that congregate on the corner of Mill Street and Water Streets.
I told him I agreed with him and that I had heard that there might be video of a car that had the gang running all over Byram defacing property. Apparently the license plate did not render well in the video.
However, the disk with the video had been turned over to police to see if they could digitally enhance the images of the plate.
One customer said they don't need fancy "video tricks", they need to have a couple of policemen to handle all of the kids that are doing this.
I agreed with the customer and said there is a real estate business, called Judge and Associates, just a couple of doors down the street.
The lady who used to operate Rolly Polly told me that after he open his business he got all of his office computers stolen in a break in.
The he has to put up with gangs of kids hanging around his business and people getting mugged in front of his business.
Now the side of his business has gang graffiti in 3 to 4 foot letters on the side of his building.
Another customer started complaining it is not just the police. He said Byram gets covered in graffiti and none of the newspapers cover the story. He said it's like we live in a different state or country.
The residents of Byram know what Byram needs, but no one is listening to them.

01/15/06 - More Greenwich Police Department Frat Boy Stunts On North Water Street



I Wanted To Put Up A Post About The RTM Meeting,


Unfortunately, I Have To Report On More Police Misconduct In Byram


After Midnight I once again had the Greenwich Police Department sending a patrol car to harrrass and intimidate me on North Water Street.


The car would stop by our place at 161 North Water Street and sit for a very long period of time. When I came up the patrol car would move up to about 189 North Water Street and sit for a long while in the middle of the road.


I would stand outside and watch the patrol car, which eventually would drive down to the stop sign and go on Byram Road towards the post road.


Then five maybe ten minutes later the patrol car would come again by 161 North Water Street and then when I came out would drive up to about three more houses and once again just sit in middle of the street.


This ignorant and unproductive police behaviour scares and upsets my wife to no end. So I took her somewhere else to sleep for the night.


Later, I called the Greenwich Police Department to ask who the Officer for Byram was for the 12 to 8 am shift and I got a dispatcher 11, who said he could not tell me.


I then spoke to a Sargent Lombardi and asked who the officer in Byram was for the 12 to 8 am shift.


He said there could be a couple of officers in that area and wanted to know why I wanted the names of the Officers. I told him all of the information above and he started playing dumb asking, "Is the car in the middle of the street now?" and once again told him we had left, because of the behaviour of the Byram officer.


I then informed Sargent Lombardi that most cell phones come with cameras that take pictures that get time stamped with information from the cell phone network.


Officer Lombardi then hung up the phone.


I called back once again spoke to Dispatcher 11, who once again gave me Sargent Lombardi, starts playing dumb again, and tells me he sent another police sargent out to 161 North Water, and he does not find me there or see a patrol car sitting in the street.


I once again tell Sargent Lombardi that I left, because this officer in the patrol car had greatly upset my wife and I would just like to know who were the two officers who were assigned to Byram.


I repeatedly had to ask who the Byram officer was and eventually Sargent Lombardi said the Byram Officer was Officer Smerrillo.


When I asked about the other officer that Sargent Lombardi said might also be in Byram he said,"I can't not recall who the officer is off the top of my head."


All this wasted Police resources to harrass a police critic.


It sort of proves my point that the Greenwich Police Department needs more accountability.


You would think that Chief Ridberg would have beter things for his high paid police officers to do.

01/14/08 - More Complaints About How Byram Was Hit Hard By Gang Grafitti This Weekend

I went to Executive Deli in Byram to get some lunch earlier today and of coarse the the talk is all about gangs of kids can just go around and cover Byram in graffiti on a Saturday night, because the police are nowhere to be found in Byram.

The hardworking owner of executive Deli said Mill Street had been covered in graffiti from the East Post Liquors Building to sidewalks next to Salon O on Henry Street. The owner of Executive Deli felt fortunate that his business had been spared.

The talk in the Deli was why isn't a police officer posted in Byram at the Firehouse over night to control the gangs of kids in Byram.

Just how is a business like Salon O going to keep attracting high end and trendy lady customers with graffiti all over the sidewalk next to their business?

01/14/08 - The Power Of Prayer - Part 2 - Another Coincidence ?????


A Phone Call From God ?????
This morning my landlord called me and asked if I was still going to the RTM meeting tonight to be sworn in as a legislator for Byram District 4.


I told him I was going and he suggested I skip the meeting and call in sick.


He said you can always get sworn in at next months meeting.


He said that if I go and get sworn in that the Police and some Town Leaders are going to get very mad at me.


I told him I would think about calling in sick, but I new I was going to get sworn in tonight.


As soon as, I hung up the phone and the phone rang again and it was First Selectman Peter Tesei on the line. He asked if I would meet with him on Wednesday at 9am to talk about Byram. We talked briefly and as Mr. Tesei said goodbye he said I will see you at the RTM meeting tonight.


As I hung up the phone my wife was bringing me my morning tea.


I told her that I just got off the phone with Mr. Tesei and said he was going to meet me about Byram at Wednesday at 9 am. Plus, I told her Mr. Tesei said he would see me at tonight's RTM Meeting.


My wife said,"I knew that. Don't you remember the prayers at church about softening hearts?"


I then told my wife, "Unbelievable, are you and Harvest Time Church going to take credit for everything. Since, December 28th I have called or went by his office every other day asking for a meeting. I have driven his secretary Paula nuts with my requests for a meeting. I even called the ask the First Selectman Show on WGCH looking for a meeting."




I then told my wife that this meeting was already in the works and the prayers were coincidental.


My wife then said,"I hope you will notice how nice he and everyone is going to be to you tonight. You are going to see that everyone has a soft heart."

Cos Cob, Riverside and Glenville residents are going to be getting thier property back, because....


Darien police Officer Michael Cummings was not sitting on the Post Road looking for burned out car tail lights. He was patroling the streets of Darien when he saw four guys in an out of state car at 1:45 a.m. driving slowly without its headlights on a residential street.


Maybe, Chief David Ridberg needs to take half of the patrol cars sitting on the Post Road and have them patrol the streets of Byram, Cos Cob, Riverside and Glenville.

01/14/08 - The Power Of Prayer


The Member's Of Harvest-Time Church Are Calling Me A Doubting Thomas.



======================================================


Hey, Give Me A Break - I Am Just A Skeptical Jewish Guy.


As many of the readers of this blog know, I was elected as a Greenwich Legislator for the Byram District 4. Many of you are also aware that the Greenwich Town Clerk said that I Collected more signatures than any of the RTM candidates.

Also, many readers of this blog are aware that I started to speak out about the poor coverage the police department has traditionally provided to Byram. I also started to speak out about this in stronger and stronger terms on the WGCH radio show known as Greenwich Matters.

The Greenwich Matters show is hosted by former first selectman candidate Sam Romeo at 6 pm on Thursday nights.

I even started alerting blog readers that on the December 27th show I was going to complain to Greenwich Matters host Sam Romeo about the performance of the 4pm to Midnight Byram police shift, because of all of the problems that occur during that time period.

Well right at 6pm as I was getting ready to call Sam Romeo and complain about the 4pm to Midnight Byram Officer came into my wives store and our home with a bunch of other officers.

I was detained as the Byram Officer searched non-public areas of our store and our living quarters.

I then had to call 911 three times to get a supervisor down to my wife's store in order to bring the illegal search to an end.

After this I filed a police misconduct claim that was not properly investigated. Greenwich Police Captain Michael Paceswicz cleared the officers without interviewing witnesses, my wife or myself about the illegal search.

Now for the last two weeks I and my wife have been harassed almost daily by the Greenwich Police Department. Most recently, I was talking with WGCH reporter Dima Joseph when my landlord called and said you have to resign your RTM legislative seat or they are going to raid your wife's store.
Plus my landlord expressed a fear that the Town Of Greenwich would go after the many properties he has in Greenwich.

These threats of police raids greatly scared my wife. Moreover, she worried over the merchandise in her store. While the merchandise was only worth a few thousand dollars, it was priceless to her, because she had mad almost everything in the store by hand.

She was so afraid that the police or the Town was going to damage or throw her artistic handcraft work in the street. She became very sick and did not go to church a week ago.

Personally, I am a Jew and my wife used to be a Korean Buddhist. Then she was hired to do the floral arrangements for a mothers day luncheon at Harvest Time Church last May. This luncheon featured a minister who gave a sermon in Spanish.

Don't ask me how but that Spanish sermon made my Korean wife want to convert from Buddhism to being a Charismatic or Pentecostal Christian.

It was very strange.

Well she started going to church every Sunday and I went with her. She goes to all of the Harvest Time service and I volunteer to do the coffee service while she is inside listening to Pastor Glen.

Anyway, this week she wanted to pray with a group called the intercessors, they are sort of like this gang of prayer warriors that just get together and intensely pray for members of the church.


So this group of prayer warriors, puts there hands on my wife and I and they start praying so hard. The pray that my my wife will feel better, that she and I will find peace, that she will find a place for her stuff, that the leaders of the Town will soften thier hearts toward me, etc., etc.,etc....


My wife hugs and thanks all of these prayer warriors.


Then we leave and about five minutes later I am presented with an opportunity for a place that my wife can take all of her things away.


Of coarse, my wife and all her friends at Harvest Time Church are saying "Praise The Lord", "Glory Be To God", "Amen", etc., etc., etc......


I basically tell my wife that it was a coincidence, a spooky coincidence, but a coincidence.

The funny thing was when I went to see the place the first person I meet is a former employee that telling everybody what a great I am and how I was his first boss, when he first came to America from Poland. Then my wife met another Korean lady there and they were instant friends.


The place was a perfect place for my wife to safely put all of her handmade items.

Google Alert - Byram Gets Covered In Graffiti - Where Are The Police? - Maybe They Are To Busy Harrassing A Critic?

My landlord told me that Byram got hit hit real bad by vandals this weekend.
He said his properties got hit, as well as, Johnny Cakes and other businesses.
All of the property owners are working feverishly to remove all of the graffiti.
By landlord hired a power washing service and had to pay an extra $300.00 for a special graffiti remover to get his places clean.
I hope the police catch these vandals, so that he and the other property owners might have a chance of suing these vandals for the damage they caused.
But, unfortunately, the police are more interested in bothering a police critic instead of protecting Byram from graffiti vandals.
I can't wait to see how the police explain to the newspapers and WGCH about how vandals can cover Byram in graffiti all night long and not get caught.
