“Harry Keleshian was well known in Greenwich, long before I moved here in 2005. His obituary taught me about his businesses, real estate ventures, his philanthropy and love of the Armenian community.” – Joe Kaliko Continue Reading →
“What do I do if another student is distracting during the test?, how do I react when a proctor is standing over me?, what do I do if I’m seated without a view of the clock?, what can be done when there is an outside distraction?, what kind of calculator is allowed?, what happens if a proctor mis-times a section? (yes, it happens frequently), what happens if I mis-grid in the answer bubbles?, what do I do if given a defective booklet? (rare, but it happened in many schools in 2015), how many essay sheets does a proper booklet have? With the new SAT, even proctors might not be sure of all these answers. Thus, we ask students to be well-armed for the situation.” – Mark Greenstein, Ivy Bound Continue Reading →
“Waiting over a decade to address these critical public safety initiatives is long enough. Please attend the BET public hearing on Thursday, March 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Hall Meeting Room and voice support to the BET for both the new firefighters and the Northwest Fire/GEMS facility.” – Peter Tesei (First Selectman) and Peter Siecienski (Fire Chief) Continue Reading →

“We are simply wasting the taxpayers money if we continue to throw “new” money at a road and highway infrastructure that no longer serves the needs of our citizens.” – Richard May, Greenwich Continue Reading →
“After nine years in Brooklyn, I fulfilled a promise to my wife and moved her back to Greenwich. However, we did not move back to her childhood home, Wilbur Peck Court. She too recalls residents with roach infestations, mice, and substandard living conditions. That was almost twenty years ago. Things have since gotten much, much worse.” – Anthony Lopez Continue Reading →
“Mr. Cruz does not grasp that there are no ‘New York values.’ We embrace and support American values, without regard to race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, place of origin and economic status.” – Sarah Ito Continue Reading →
“I’m at a political rock concert. Crowd a bit scruffy, angry, passionate. The Donald intros his beautiful family, then takes the stage for an hour. Rhetoric in a million directions, constantly interrupts himself with random thoughts and comments, mostly about the nuances and his grievances about the campaign itself. Uses the word “pussy” for mere shock value; the man is a born entertainer…” – Lisa Wexler, radio personality reporting from New Hampshire Continue Reading →
