Feedback Is Plentiful on Greenwich Schools Facilities 15-Year, $750,000,000 Plan

On Tuesday night at GHS, following a presentation of potential upgrades to Cardinal field, architect Russell Davidson outlined a 15-year plan for $750,000,000+ of major additions and renovations to all Greenwich schools, plus the Havemeyer building, home to the schools administration offices.

He noted the $765,000,000 price tag reflected dollars in 2020 and that figure would rise to about $850,000,000+ with the work being done over 15 years.

“You spend about $20-25 million a year on capital improvements,” Davidson said, adding that Greenwich schools have over a billion dollars in replacement value.

“The first thing we did was look at facilities and give them an inspection,” Davidson said, adding that the district’s oldest school building, the Havemeyer building, on Greenwich Ave, was built in 1892, and features a disused auditorium.

Davidson said buildings are up to code for the year they were constructed, and that proposed infrastructure work is mainly age related. Other upgrades are to make buildings accessible and in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

“It’s time to make sure your buildings fully comply,” he said, adding that there are four buildings that don’t have elevators.

Alan Gunzburg, who chairs the First Selectman’s Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities said it was unconscionable that these schools are not ADA compliant and lack elevators in 2018.

A student in a wheelchair, for example, must have his or her classroom relocated to the first floor in schools including Old Greenwich, Julian Curtiss, Riverside and Havemeyer. A parent in a wheelchair can’t even visit their child’s classroom if it is on the second floor.

As for ventilation, Davidson said requirements for a school built in 1920 were that it have fresh air. “That meant it had windows that could open,” he said.

With the average year of construction of a Greenwich school at 1953, many do not have up to date ventilation even if they have air conditioners in the windows.

“Things are warmer now and people expect filtered fresh air mechanically introduced and cooled,” Davidson said, adding that improvements to infrastructure include flooring, roofs, and plumbing fixtures. “It’s everything required to make your buildings good buildings,” he said.

Demolish or Replace Central Middle School?
An idea the architect presented was to demolish Central Middle School and disperse students to expanded Eastern and Western Middle Schools.

“With two middle schools with about 1,000 students each,” he said. “That’s not a bad size for a middle school.”

Parents and teachers were outraged by even the suggestion, citing added distance for transportation and traffic.

Parents demanded to know whose idea it was to consider demolishing CMS and dispersing students. Ms. Dayton said that idea came from the architect. “No one on BOE has brought it up,” she said.

The Architect, Mr. Davidson said it wasn’t his idea either.

Someone in the audience raised their voice, asking, “Whose idea was it?”

Dr. Gidlea said there were many ‘blue sky options’ including exploring ways to be fiscally responsible. Indeed, demolishing CMS and adding on to Eastern and Western would save tens of millions of dollars over building a new CMS.

Jane Anderson of Cos Cob, who happens to be an educator in the Bronx, asked why, with middle school population in Greenwich anticipated to increase 5 percent in the next 8 years, and the change in school start/end times exacerbating traffic, why would it make sense to have students travel further?

“Does anyone think about 600 students shuttled across Greenwich? How would they benefit?” she asked, receive a huge round of applause.

“I’d like that option to be completely taken off the table,” said Janet McMahon, a North Street Parent who is on RTM in district 8 and a member of the education committee. McMahon’s request also met with loud applause.

Jennifer Dayton said the BOE is meeting this Thursday at a retreat to “take in all the input.” They will then vote and give guidance to the superintendent.

Davidson elaborated on the shortcomings of CMS, which he said is “thinner, lower and more spread out” compared to Eastern and Western.

He said that although it was constructed around the same time as the other two middle schools in the 1950s by the same architect, it is about a foot shorter and has structural issues that make it difficult to update.

“Long term if you want a middle school on that site you should look at replacing it,” he said, citing Central’s height and thin exterior walls. “It doesn’t make sense to put a lot of money into it. The columns penetrate from inside to outside. Frost forms on the inside of those columns.”

“We were asked, what if there were only two middle schools,” Davidson said.

“If you replace a building for $100 million or more, you want to look at options,” he said, going on to describe a 22,000 square foot addition to Eastern to increase its capacity by 150, and a 41,500 square foot addition to Western to increase its capacity by 360.

Davidson said that if students were dispersed, it would be possible to do a two story addition to Eastern. “It would be big enough to take about 40% of the students from CMS. It’s not such a huge impact that you’d need second gyms.”

Davidson said Western Middle School is a smaller building and it would take more of the students to get up to 1,000. He said that would translate into two additions to the exiting building.

Davidson said there was no plan for the site of CMS if it were to be demolished.

The second option for CMS, a more costly option, would be demolishing 90 percent of the existing building and constructing a new school on the playing field adjacent to the existing one.

Davidson next described ideas for Greenwich High School, which is projected to have a 10% enrollment increase in the next eight years.

GHS devised in 1970 with a “classic house plan” in which students were expected to have their core classes within one area.

But, he said with the addition of the science wing in 2000, the distance students walk to classes there is up to a quarter mile.

Davidson the issues with GHS is not that it’s too small but that, “Its core instructional space is under-provided – that’s classrooms and labs. It’s 12 to 15 classes short.”

Two additions to the high school are proposed: a two story learning commons and a new front entrance, where the glass corridor is in poor condition and is “an unfortunate configuration for school security.”

Alexandra Steven a media specialist at GHS urged that the entry configuration be a high priority.

“This is a mater of life or death,” she said.

Davidson said ideally there would be a secure vestibule where people would be vetted, plus a security office.

The school’s library would be recreated opposite the main entrance and the create a two story “showpiece” 21st century learning commons which would be right outside the main office. The existing library would be returned to classrooms, which they once were.

The science wing, created 18 years ago, is not new and needs some renovation.

He said an important piece to upgrading GHS is the indoor athletic facilities which includes essentially three gyms, swimming pool, and small fitness and dance spaces.

“In terms of phys ed teaching space and indoor athletics space, for a high school that is approaching 3,000 students, it is under-provided,” he said.

He proposed demolition of team rooms to create a double gym and recreate team rooms and fitness spaces. Offices would be moved near the gym entrance that would not be recessed, but rather have a balance with the performing arts center entrance.

On the second story of the gymnasium addition could incorporate fitness and dances space and a  jogging track around the perimeter.

Davidson said with next generation learning, informal learning areas are important. In that vein another idea is to create a second floor corridor to attach to mezzanines that go all the way around the student commons.

He said that rather than going down stairs and across the building and up another set of stairs, students would have a more direct route, shorten travel distances for students in the 450,000 square foot building.

Building a mezzanine would include small group informal learning spaces that are common at colleges and other high schools.

Havemeyer Building 

In 1892 a Greenwich family gave the town the Havemeyer building, and it has been in continuous use since then. “And it shows,” Davidson said. “It needs a lot of work.”

The Havemeyer building has a disused auditorium with a drop ceiling. The proposal is to make the auditorium into a community facility, with a 21st century meeting room and small performance space right in downtown Greenwich.

And, rather than having offices in former classrooms, Davidson proposed a modern office for administrators.

“It’s a combination of a historic renovation and 21st century office building, including an elevator.”

Elementary Schools

At the elementary school level, Davidson said there is a square footage shortage of core space equivalent to two full schools. He said there are real issues at ISD, Julian Curtiss, New Lebanon, North Mianus, Old Greenwich and Riverside Schools, though all buildings will have upgrades to infrastructure, furniture and maker spaces.

As for Parkway, Davidson described it as under capacity. “You need to have more children up there,” he said. “I’m not going to say much about it. It’s an aging building that needs infrastructure upgrades.”

Lisa Small said she was offended that Davidson’s presentation gave short shrift to Parkway School.

“You glossed over it,” she said. “You make it clear we’d be a low priority even though it was built in 1955. The building needs renovations. We should be treated equally.”

At ISD Davidson proposed building additions. One addition would connect the school to the gymnasium where there is currently a covered walkway, which is a security issue. The other addition, which would result in parking being moved up the hill, would create classroom spaces and add a stage.  “It would completely modernize the building while preserving what’s there,” Davidson said.

Davidson said Julian Curtiss, built in 1946 remains almost exactly as it was originally constructed.

Students in 1946 walked home for lunch. The cafeteria was originally a music room.

The proposal is to build an addition that would create a courtyard. The addition of an elevator would serve two levels.

Davidson said North Mianus School has been expanded three or four times and still needs more space.

“It is an old building. The two story section in the front has small classrooms. There’s not enough room in the front of the building. You can’t move it. We propose two one-story wing additions that push out into the playing field. There would still be room for the powwow,” he said.

A new gym would be built and the tiny cafeteria would move into the existing gym.  “You build the new first, move into it, and then renovate.” The plan would also include a renovation to the upper floor of the oldest portion of the building.

North Street School, Davidson said, has a modest capacity issue. “We propose another four classroom addition to put all pre-K rooms together, and renovate the space that they occupy for art and music.”

Davidson said Old Greenwich School presents the most challenges.  Despite being very attractive, it has been expanded several times.

This proposal would remove some of the additions. “This building has seven or eight floor levels with no elevators or floor ramps. If you are a Kindergarten student, you have quite a hike through the building,” he said, adding that the interior travel distances are challenging. The whole doesn’t make sense any more.”

The proposal is to remove the two one story additions – one is very close to the property line and one constricts driving access – and create a three story addition and create a courtyard building with an elevator.

Davidson said plans for Riverside School would not touch the front lawn. “I know that’s important,” he said, adding that the cafeteria is very small. “There is also a hallway cordoned off for musical instrument storage. It’s not a good storage and they do lessons in that hallway.”

“What’s proposed is to move things around for a two story addition at the rear, and one story addition by cafeteria. It’ll shift the fields back, but there will still be plenty of room.”

Davidson said forcing children to cross the kitchen driveway to get to the field is not ideal.

“We propose to pull that (driveway) back. The new addition would have science and a cafeteria, and create a courtyard for an outdoor classroom,” he said.

Also renovations would create full sized classrooms. “These are not bandaids. These are holistic solutions,” he said.

The business services approximately 600 to 700 clients with fees ranging from $25 to $60 per month.  Neither Margarum nor his business has filed tax returns for the tax years 2004 until the present.

In pleading guilty, Margarum has agreed to make $356,330 in restitution to the U.S. Treasury, and to cooperate with the IRS to pay all outstanding taxes, interest and penalties.

Margarum is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant on September 19, 2018, at which time he faces a maximum term of imprisonment of two years and a maximum fine of approximately $700,000

Margarum is released on bond pending sentencing.

 The plea was announced on Thursday by John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Kristina O’Connell, Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation in New England.

This matter has been investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Schmeisser.

On Thursday at Town Hall, the Greenwich Democratic Town Committee introduced its endorsed candidates for the Connecticut General Assembly election in November.

Alexandra Bergstein is running for the 36th Senate District, Stephen Meskers for the 150th Assembly District and Laura Kostin for the 151st Assembly District.

Greenwich resident Ned Lamont was endorsed at the Democratic state convention as the gubernatorial candidate and Dita Bhargava cleared the threshold to appear on the primary ballot for State Treasurer.

In a release, the Democrats said they hope to build on last year’s momentum after winning control of the Greenwich Board of Estimate and Taxation for the first time in Town history, and electing a Democrat as Tax Collector.

“The credentials of our candidates for the General Assembly are strong,” said DTC chair Tony Turner. “They will better represent the values of our community and will make strong team in Hartford—and together will work to bring back to Greenwich a more fair share of what our taxpayers send to Hartford.”

Josh Fedeli, chair of the Stamford Democratic City Committee, said in the release, “We are excited to work with the Greenwich DTC and Alexandra Bernstein in her run for the 36th Senate District. We need a senator
that understands the needs of Stamford and will put principles ahead of party, unlike incumbent Scott Frantz who fell in line with the Republican caucus to vote down the confirmation of Andrew McDonald for chief justice against the advice of virtually the entire Connecticut legal community.”

The Greenwich DTC said in the statement, “All three candidates will run vigorous, substantive campaigns that contrast how their values and solutions differ from the incumbent Republican delegation, letting voters decide who will best represent their concerns, needs and values.”

The Greenwich Democratic Town Committee is the official organization in the Town of Greenwich, representing the Democratic Party. Greenwich. The DTC helps to elect Democrats representing Greenwich to federal, state and local office, influences Town priorities and policy, builds awareness of the causes, policies and values for which Democrats stand and works to expand the base of registered

Tesei Reacts to Superintendent Gildea’s Resignation

$

First Selectman Peter J. Tesei has issued the following statement on the resignation of School Superintendent Dr. Jill Gildea, which was announced on Friday.

“I have enjoyed the collaborative working relationship that Dr. Gildea and I have developed during the past months. While I understand her decision to leave Greenwich, I certainly am disappointed. I wish her well in her new professional endeavor in Utah and am glad that she has agreed to stay on through the summer to assist with the school leadership transition.

“Dr. Gildea is the 12th superintendent to lead Greenwich public schools in the last 20 years. The fact Greenwich has been unable to retain a Superintendent for the long-term, is indicative that something is structurally, and perhaps philosophically, wrong with the processes employed by the Board of Education. It is my hope and desire that the Board of Education will review its policies, procedures and processes and be able to identify what needs to be done to bring long-term stability in the leadership of our school system.”

Greenwich Crew Excels at Northeast Regionals

Last weekend the Greenwich Crew team competed at the Northeast Regionals at Lake Lake Quinsigamond in Massachusetts, taking home the overall Team Points Trophy, the Women’s Points Trophy, and the Men’s Points Trophy.

According to women’s coach Heidi Hunsberger, it was windy at Lake Quinsigamond, which made the competition more of a challenge.

“In a boat you have rowers and a Coxswain who steers,” she said. “The Coxswain has to understand how to steer and work together with the rowers.”

On Wednesday, several members of the team talked about how they got started rowing and joined the Greenwich Crew team.

Ellie Leites, a senior at Horace Greeley High School, said she had gotten her start when she was a freshman and attended the Greenwich Crew summer camp.

Others started when they accompanied someone to “Bring Your Friend to Crew Day.”

In fact this June 2 is “Learn to Row Day” from 9:00am to 12:00 noon at Greenwich Water Club. The event is open for anyone from 6th grade to adult.

While many popular sports expect players to specialize from a young age, it’s dangerous to take up crew too young because it is a weight-bearing sport.

“Sometimes we get athletes who had a concussion playing football, lacrosse or soccer,” said coach Catherine Starr.

“There’s still a big walk-on contingent in college, especially for people who did a sport in high school, but didn’t get recruited,” said coach Heidi Hunsberger.

“From our varsity eight this spring, two of our athletes both started during their sophomore year at high school,” said Trent Polkinghorne, a senior at Greenwich High School. “It shows you can start any time if you put in the work.”

“You won’t know you’re good until you try,” said men’s coach Robert Montague.

Camille Broderick, a senior at GHS who is headed to Princeton in the fall, said, “Everyone on the team is really supportive of newcomers. What was exciting is that the victories aren’t indicative of one boat. It shows our depth as a team. Our goal is to not leave anyone out.”

In fact, the team includes about 65 girls and 70 boys.

The three coaches talked about the commitment required.

Coach Montague, along with Starr and Hunsberger said rowers are typically very self-motivated.

“Their talent is their work ethic,” Starr said. “Their putting in the time makes it appealing. If you’re willing to work hard, you can come here and find a niche. It’s a fun group of people.”

Being on the Greenwich Crew team requires about a 2-1/2 hour commitment a day, roughly from 4:oopm until 6:30pm, and practices are never in the morning. In inclement weather, practice moves indoors.

“Rick Kral has been instrumental,” said coach Hunsberger of Greenwich Water Club owner. “He supports us with space, equipment and time. He makes it all happen.”

Hunsberger explained that team members also are motivated to continue after practice ends, putting in extra time erging, doing core work outs and injury prevention exercises.

“There are both individual goals and team goals,” Hunsberger said. “We work with Performance Therapy, who help us with an injury prevention program designed for rowers.”

“You can always do more,” Polkinghorne said. “There is a huge emotional investment in this sport.”

More information on Greenwich Crew is available online.

Joseph Thomas Chimblo Jr., 86, a resident of Greenwich and Stamford, Connecticut, and most recently Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, passed away on May 14, 2018.

He was born June 5, 1931 in Greenwich to the late Joseph and Mary Chimblo of Riverside.

He graduated from Greenwich High School in 1950 where he played Varsity Football. He served in the U.S. Navy Aircraft division for four years. He was married to Mary Jane Fox, also from Greenwich, CT, who predeceased him on December 29, 1978. He is also predeceased by their first-born son Thomas J Chimblo, who died on January 25, 1998.

Mr. Chimblo was a partner in the family business, Chimblo Brothers Construction, started by his father and uncles in 1955. They built many of the landmarks in Greenwich, CT, such as Saint Catherine’s of Siena Church, the Chesebrough-Pond building, Arnold’s Bakery, as well as the remodel of the Avco and Stolt-Nielsen buildings and Greenwich Town Hall.

Mr. Chimblo was a member of the St. Lawrence Club for many years. His greatest pleasures were boating and deep-sea fishing. He married the former Antoinette Ricciardi on May 3, 1980. They resided in Greenwich before moving to Stamford in the 90’s. Eventually they settled in Broken Arrow, OK in 2008 where Jennifer and her husband Rick reside.

Mr. Chimblo is survived by his wife of 38 years, Antoinette Chimblo, son Steven Chimblo and his fiancé Pamela Smart, daughters Joan Chimblo and Donna Chimblo, granddaughter Ashley Chimblo and grandson Steven Chimblo. He will be missed immensely by Antoinette’s children, son Anthony DeLuca (Theresa), daughter Donna DeLustro, and daughter Jennifer Thompson (Rick), who he raised as his own. Papa Joe will be missed by his “grandchildren” Casey and John DeLuca and Cassandra and Eric Thompson.

Mr. Chimblo’s last years were spent, travelling, sitting in the sun, eating out (followed with a big dessert), and at baseball games watching his grandson Eric play. Everyone who knew him said they remember his great stories, his generosity, and his caring and wonderful nature. He lived a long and great life and he will be forever remembered by his friends and family who loved him.

Senior and captain Melanie Murphy alongside her partner Sophomore Amy Bickham pulled out a 6-0, 6-1 victory in their doubles match.

On the prospect of facing Darien on their home turf on Tuesday, Murphy said, “I am nervous but also excited. Last match our team score was 5-2 and my partner and I were one of the two teams who won their match so we have a lot to live up to. I think they’re going to bring their A-game and it will be home for them which makes it even more intimidating for us.”

Greenwich Store Agrees to Comply with ADA and Permit Service Animals

Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut - Greenwich Free Press

U.S. Attorney’s Office has reached a settlement agreement with The UPS Store No. 1217 in Riverside, the Riverside UPS Store, to resolve allegations that the store was not operating in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

The settlement agreement resolves an ADA complaint filed by an individual with disabilities alleging that the Riverside UPS Store required her to remove her service animal from the store as a condition of service.

As a result of the settlement agreement, the store is in the process of posting signage indicating, “Service Animals Welcome,” implementing a “Service Animal Policy,” which includes the types of legally permissible inquiries store employees may make of a customer who enters the store with a service animal, and training employees regarding the policy.

Additionally, the Riverside UPS Store will compensate the complainant in the amount of $1,000.

Under federal law, private entities that own or operate places of “public accommodation,” including retail stores, are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of disability.  The ADA authorizes the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate complaints and undertake periodic reviews of compliance of covered entities.  The Justice Department is also authorized to commence a civil lawsuit in federal court in any case that involves a pattern or practice of discrimination or that raises issues of general public importance, and to seek injunctive relief, monetary damages and civil penalties.

U.S. Attorney Durham noted that the owner of the Riverside UPS Store has worked cooperatively with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to promptly address the ADA issues without litigation.

“The Americans with Disabilities Act ensures that individuals are able to access our state’s retail stores, service establishments and other places of public accommodation,” said U.S. Attorney Durham.  “The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to enforcing the ADA, which requires businesses to appropriately serve the diverse populations of patrons who live, work and visit Connecticut.  We appreciate the Riverside UPS Store’s commitment to increasing access to its store for individuals with disabilities who require service animal assistance.”

Any member of the public who wishes to file a complaint alleging that any place of public accommodation or public entity in Connecticut is not accessible to persons with disabilities may contact the U.S. Attorney’s Office at 203-821-3700.

Additional information about the ADA can be found at www.ada.gov, or by calling the Justice Department’s toll-free information line at (800) 514-0301 and (800) 514-0383 (TTY).  More information about the Civil Rights Division and the laws it enforces is available at www.justice.gov/crt.

This matter was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica H. Soufer of the District of Connecticut in coordination with the Disability Rights Section of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.

The settlement was announced by John H. Durham, US Attorney for the District of Connecticut.

What’s In, What’s Out on Greenwich Ave: Niches Filled

There are many changes taking place on Greenwich Avenue this spring.

“It’s a win-win for Greenwich Avenue. There are several new national names opening their doors,” said Diane Roth of Allied Property Group, who has been busy lately pairing businesses with available spaces on Greenwich Avenue. “There are also several independent businesses being opened by locals.”

A new independent clothing store, Fifi & Bella, located at 50 Greenwich Ave, has just opened.

Filling a niche, Fifi & Bella targets tweens and teens, selling everything from dresses for graduations, weddings and dances to casual attire.

Owner Felicia Salazar of Armonk, said Fifi was her nickname as a child. “And ‘Bella’ in Italian means beautiful and I always  called my three daughters my bellas,” she said, referring to Amanda (20), Ava (16) and Angelica (13).

“We’re filling a gap left by Wish List,” Salazar said, adding that some fun events are in the works including workshops and mini camps where girls can learn about hair, make up, etiquette and fashion styling.

Near the Avenue, at 37 East Putnam Ave, next to Glory Days Diner, is the Threading Brow Bar, run by Leena Dedhia, who already has a threading business at the Stamford Town Center.

“It’s a small nook, and they’ll offer threading and henna tattoo services,” Roth said. “It’s fun and popular. Kids like it.”

Roth described Dedhia as living the American dream, having come to the US from India, working hard toward her dream of owning her own shop. “It will  be open on Sundays, so you can have your breakfast at Glory Days and stop in for henna before you go the beach,” Roth said.

Services also include eyebrow threading, eyebrow tinting, eyelash extensions, waxing and facials.

At 409 Greenwich Ave, on the 2nd floor, Glenn Podbielski has recently opened Avenue Barber.

“People have a tough time with my name, so I tell them I’m Glenn with three N’s. It’s become my mantra,” he said.

Having worked for many years at the barber shop on Church Street and building a following, Podbielski also worked for three years at Classic Barber before opening Avenue Barber.

“It’s a good location close to the train,” Roth said. “When you come home from work, you can leave your car parked at the train station, get your hair cut, do some shopping and get your dinner.”

As for national businesses, Roth said there are several.

Roth said bluemercury, a luxury cosmetics and facial care business with locations nearby in and Darien and New Canaan, is taking space at 254 Greenwich Avenue, formerly home to Calypso St. Barth.

“What I like is that not only are these stores creating opportunities for us to shop, but they’re hiring locally,” Roth said, noting that the window of bluemercury announces the business, “beauty junkies wanted.”

Another newcomer to the Avenue will soon be Warby Parker, who sell eyeglasses, sunglasses and more at 346 Greenwich Avenue.

Another newcomer to the Avenue will soon be Warby Parker, who sell eyeglasses, sunglasses and more at 346 Greenwich Avenue.

Warby Parker is set to open soon at 346 Greenwich Avenue. The signage in the store’s windows advertise job opportunities. According to the business website, Warby Parker was founded in 2010 with a lofty objective: to offer designer eyewear at a revolutionary price while leading the way for socially conscious businesses.

By circumventing traditional channels and designing frames in house, Warby Parker is able to offer high-quality eyewear priced from $95 with prescription lenses—a fraction of the going price.

In the last eight years, Warby Parker has grown to over 60 retail locations in the US and Canada.

“We also hold ourselves to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility,” the company says on its website. “This means lots of different things, like operating carbon-neutrally and distributing a pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair we sell.”

Another national retailer set to take up residence on Greenwich Ave is Jojo Maman Bébé, who will be located at 60 Greenwich Ave, formerly home to Graham’s Toy Store.

Jojo Maman Bébé offers maternity and children’s wear from 0 to 6 years.

“We don’t have a lot of children’s clothing stores,” Roth said, adding that maternity and children’s clothing is a niche that needed to be filled.

“I’d like to give a nice recognition to all the national names coming in, but I’d like to give an even louder shout-out to specialty shops opening up by local people,” Roth said.

“Today is the niche day,” Roth said. “All the little niches are starting to fill in on Greenwich Avenue.”

Former Greenwich Resident Perishes in GEICO Skytyper Crash

The pilot of a small vintage plane that crashed in Suffolk County, Long Island on Wednesday, Ken Johansen, formerly of Greenwich, was killed.

The plane took down several trees when it crashed in a ball of flames in Melville, but fortunately did not hit any of the nearby houses in the neighborhood.

Witnesses reported the plane, which had been flying in formation with several other vintage planes, appeared to break into pieces in midair before crashing in a wooded area of Northcote Drive in Melville — about three miles northeast of Republic Airport in Farmingdale.

The World War II era Navy plane was identified as a GEICO Skytyper that was part of an air-show team.

According to the GEICO Skytypers website, the air show team is a world famous flight squadron of six vintage World War II aircraft that perform precision flight maneuvers at select air shows. On Thursday the website was offline.

Johansen, a married father of two, was a graduate of Greenwich High School in the class of 1984. He was the only one on board the plane, which crashed around 2:00pm.

The Federal Aviation Administration began an investigation on Wednesday.

 

Parks & Rec Update: Islands, Ferries, Beaches, Pool, Boat Slip Wait Lists

At the May Parks & Rec meeting Brian Kerzner gave the boating and marina update.

Kerzner introduced the operations manager Amy Hansen, who started at Parks & Rec seven weeks ago. Hansen grew up in Greenwich and said she was thrilled to be back in town and part of the marine division.

Kerzner described Hansen a graduate of SUNY as very qualified, having been a naval architect who spent four years building US destroyers in Maine.

“She built the center third of the ships, putting all the engines together, putting LEGOs together,” he said.

Kerzner said the town’s beaches are officially open for the season. One of the town ferries is at the dock, one will return from the shipyard on Thursday, and the third will return in a few weeks.

The town’s two islands are scheduled to open on June 9. There will be limited service until school gets out.

As for the pool opening, Parks & Rec director Joe Siciliano said there is a tentative date of June 14 for the State Health Dept inspection, but prior to that comes the TCO, then the CO.

“Pending that outcome, we’ll announce the opening date of the pool. Our goal is to open it by the first day of summer,” Siciliano said. “I don’t want to be premature and make an announcement until we get that final inspection.”

Once the State Health Dept does its inspection, assuming the the project passes muster, then the town can proceed to in house training for staff.

“We’ll be making an announcement very soon. We’d like it open no later than the 22nd of June. That’s not a formal date,” Siciliano said, adding that during the week of the 18th or 25th, he hopes to schedule a formal ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the pool’s opening, and that the Jr League will be handling invites and agenda for the event.

Kerzner said the town’s beaches are being graded this week.

As far as the town’s marinas, several projects have been completed, beginning with the Grass Island rest room, which is open. The pier at Tod’s Point is finished. The Cos Cob boat ramp is also complete.

As for boat slips, Kerzner said Grass Island and Cos Cob are both close to completely full, and at Byram the slips are 60 percent full.

As for wait lists for slips, the wait list is shorter for 20 ft slips.

“For the most part we have been able to get everyone slips for the 20 ft slips,” he said. “But for 24 ft slips, there is a 4 year wait list with about 57 boats on it.”

Kerzner said there is about a 6 year wait list with 70 boats on it for 30 ft boat slips.

Lastly, he said the 36 ft slips have an 8 year wait list with 32 boats on it.

Siciliano said the reason there is a longer wait for the longer slips is that there are fewer of them.

Parks & Rec co chair Gary Dell’Abate asked if people know where they stand on lists. Kerzner said in the beginning of the season his department calls people toward the top of the list to see if they remain interested. If not, they work their way down the lists.
