A new proposal for construction of a new ice rink was submitted to P&Z last week with plans to build the new rink on the bones of the old one.

However this new plan also proposed rotating the Strazza field 180 degrees to allow for a new access road. The BET has concerns that many of the plans submitted for reconstruction of a new ice rink go far beyond the scope of what was originally approved. Nothing has yet been finalized.

Kintsukuroi

By Jill S. Woolworth, LMFT

Kintsukuroi is a type o f Jap a n e s e p o r c e l a i n considered more valuable t ha n a p er fe c t, neverbroken piece of porcelain because of the gold or silver used to mend it. Our own lives are much like Kintsukuroi. By the time we reach adulthood, everyone has experienced breaking and mending. None of us is “never broken.”

Do we p erceive t he break ing and mending process as one that makes us more valuable or one that devalues us? Do we look at the pieces of our lives and see their artistic potential or just a pile of pieces? Veins of pain and the dark colors of our lives may add texture and beauty depending upon how we tell our stories. Sometimes we become par t of the

silver and gold that helps others’ mend their lives.

Becoming kintsukuroi is something to celebrate.

Matt would have preferred to not have been an alcoholic for nine years.

It caused pain to him and to those he loved. On the other hand, now that he has been sober for a decade, it is because of his mended brokenness that he is approachable. He volunteers at a rehabilitation center for addicts. There is nothing in another person’s life that shocks him . Matt would not trade his gold scars for anything.

Rare Disease Awareness Day The Town of Greenwich Joined Connecticut Foundations to Officially Proclaim Rare Disease Awareness Day on Feb. 24th.

First Selectman Fred Camillo presented the formal designation of Greenwich Rare Disease Awareness Day to local rare disease organizations, i nclud i ng Gre enw ich-base d F i brola mel la r Cancer Foundation (FCF), that are all striving to build awareness and support for research into treatments for the over 7,000 known rare diseases.

The event at Town Hall included updates from: Lesley Bennett: Connecticut state ambassador NOR D R are Action Network; John Hopper: President Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation; CoChair NORD Rare Cancer Coalition; Gregg Pauletti: Chair-Golden Lights Foundation; Phil Marella: Co-Founder/Trustee Dana’s Angels Research Trust; and several other locally based rare disease foundations.

“One in every 10 people has a rare disease.,” explained Camillo. “Our town has numerous organizations that are taking leadership roles in the fight to raise awareness for rare diseases. It is more important than ever to share the critical issues faced by all of the patients, families, medical professionals, and organizations affected by the ability to access diagnosis and treatments, a nd to ac c elerate r e s e a r ch to f ig ht t he s e debilitating diseases.”

Camillo has a personal connection to rare disease day as his sister Donna Marie lost her young life to a rare form of pediatric leukemia.

John Hopper, President of FCF, said, “A disease is rare if it affects less than 200,000 people in the United States. As many as 30 million Americans

The first Rare Disease Awareness Day in 2020. live with a rare disease and more than 60% of these patients are children. Over 90% of rare diseases, including adolescent/young adult cancers like Fibrolamellar, are still without FDA-approved treatments, which makes it so important that communities like Greenwich play a role of raising awareness and support.”

“Rare Disease Awareness Day, which was launched in the U.S. by the National Organization of Rare Disorders (NORD), is celebrated across the globe during the last week in February. The day brings much needed attention to the diseases that are under-researched and often overlooked by health policy decision makers and the medical community,” notes Lesley Bennett. “By publicizing the experiences of those living with rare diseases and calling on policymakers to focus on the rare disease community’s needs, Rare Disease Day is trying to improve equitable access to diagnosis, treatment and services for all those who are

afflicted with a rare disease.”

The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) is the leading independent advocacy organization representing all patients and families affected by rare diseases. NORD is committed to the identification, treatment, and cure of the more than 7,000 rare diseases, of which approximately 90% are still without an FDA-approved treatment or therapy. Visit rarediseases.org.

FCF, a public 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Greenwich, CT, was founded in 2009 by 27-year-old Tucker Davis, who lost his life to Fibrolamellar on Rare Disease Day in 2010, after an 18-month fight. FCF has funded over $9 million in research across more than 24 major institutions in the U.S. and internationally. 100% of all donations go towards research.

Mike Harris’ Windows to the World

By Anne W. Semmes

It a l l st a r te d when M i ke , now retired, went in search of a photography workshop that took him to San Miguel, Mexico. “It was run by a guy named Edie Solloway,” says Mike, “who is just a genius at getting people hooked…

The point of that particular trip was the essence of San Miguel.”

But what drew M ike was the people that captured the essence of the country. “It’s the fun of being in a location and talking to the person, getting them involved,” h e t e l l s , “A n d t h e n t a k i n g their picture.”

Such encounters gave Mike the title of his book. Walking down a street in Gallup, New Mexico, he eyes a Navajo woman wearing an Obama t-shirt. She says, “Don’t take my picture.” He tells her, “Don’t worry, I don’t photograph anybody that doesn’t want to be photog raphed.” He pauses then says, “You must miss him,” pointing to her Obama t-shirt. “I miss him every day,” she says. “You can’t miss him any more than I do,” he responds. A hug follows, and she says, Now, you can take my picture,” and her response b e c o m e s t h e t i t l e o f M i k e ’s new book.

Then , i n Pa r is , w it h w i fe S a l l y, n ow s i m i l a rl y h o o ke d i n photo g raphy, t hey ’r e i n a restaurant across from a woman ordering her food. She looks up at the waiter who’s ref lected in a mirror - he can’t resist, his camera comes out. “It was magic.

It’s one of the first photographs in the book. We later talked to her - she had been an ambassador in Washington.”

Mike’s wife Sally chimes in.

“I don’t know what it is, but when we travel, he just starts talking to people.” Like that trip to Iowa. “It’s farm country and these two people walk by walking their dog and they say what are you doing? And he said, ‘Well, we’re taking pictures - we love farms.” They respond, “Would you like to photograph our husbands who are harvesting the soy fields 15 minutes away?”

It is clear to see how Mike in his photographic travels is

Mike Harris photo. engaging in what could be called cultural photography, and one culture he was truly privileged to photograph, and has for over five years, is an Amish family. A photograph in his book is of that Springs, Pennsylvania family, father and mother and their 10 (later 13) children.

“The A mish are k now n for their unw illing ness to be photographed,” he writes, beside that photograph. But Mike made his way, first encountering two of the boys at the family roadside stand, buying bread, then asking if he could take their picture. Two months later he brought to the boys prints of their photos, asking them to share with their parents. A letter followed asking if he and his wife could “photograph the family and their way of life.”

One of the Amish photos in the book is of a young daughter, “Ruth at the Window” that surely is much treasured by that family. Its an image that Vermeer would revere.

Mike, along with Sally, has fou nd h i m s e l f i n t he m idd le of bullf ighting “in the raw” in Colum bia, but nowhere more b i z a r r e t h a n i n I n d i a at t h e celebratory spring Holi Festival, where “everybody just circles around and throws paint pigment on each other.” Turns out it’s a known photographer’s destination, and surely now for this reporter, a unique window on that world.

“I like workshops because they take you someplace unusual and different,” says Mike, “and the Holi Festival was totally a group effort.”

Sally adds, “And we couldn’t go to India and photograph the Holi

Festival without this photographer that we went with. She knows exactly where to go and when.”

So, where are they headed next? To a workshop in Santa Fe. “It’s a pretty big photography center,” says Mike, “I’m sure they’ll take us to places that we wouldn’t discover that are good places for photographs.”

It is Eddie Solloway, also based in Santa Fe, whose workshop in San Miguel, Mexico, inspired Mike upon his cultural photography way, who writes the introduction to Mike’s new and first book. “True photography secrets,” Solloway writes, “get overshadowed by an obsession with cameras and software. The myth that bigger and faster are better can distract from the skills of seeing, being curious, and caring about your subject.”

By Anne W. Semmes Last Thursday afternoon, the major tree supporters of the Town of Greenwich gathered in front of Town Hall to pay homage to Cher yl Du nson, reti r i ng president of the Greenw ich Tr e e C o n s e r v a n c y (G T C ) .

Standing beneath the branches of a pin oak tree planted on the front lawn the year the Tree Conservancy was founded 15 years ago, First Selectman Fred Camillo read his “Certificate of Special Recognition” to Dunson, citing “her dedication to and advocacy for the Greenwich Tree Conservancy which she helped co-found in January 2007, and served as vice president and president during her 15-year tenure.”

Recognizing some of the initial players standing before her, Dunson addressed them, “I am so very proud of our successful public/private par tnership, which started first under then First Selectman Jim Lash and the Tree Warden Bruce Spaman and continues today through First Selectman Fred Camillo and Dr. Gregory Kramer.”

“We’ve accomplished so much in 15 years that I could not have envisioned,” she continued, “Over 5000 trees have been planted, including our four Gratitude Groves in honor of frontline worker s du r i ng p a ndem ic , and we’ve been internationally a c c r e d ite d w it h ou r Tow n Arboretum, our many programs like Parking Parks, Park Walks, Awesome Tree contest, our Treasured Trees program... so many things that we’ve been able to do successfully because of our collaboration.”

JoAnn Messina, GTC e x e c u t i v e d i r e c t o r, w h o introduced Dunson, spoke of the Conservancy initiating its wish for a proclamation to honor Dunson. “So, most of you know,” she added, “This is our original

And we thought this was the appropriate place to have Fred proclaim Cheryl a wonderful person!”

Succeeding Dunson as president will be board member Urling Searle. Dunson departs with a belief she shared, “that in order for organizations to continue to thrive, new leaders with new ideas are needed. While I helped found and grow the organization, being able to leave GTC in the good hands of such an accomplished and dedicated leader as Urling is another thing of which I am proud.”

But Dunson will carry on as cochair of the Conservancy’s First Selectman Fred Camillo presents retiring Greenwich Advisory Board.

Economic Development in Post-COVID Connecticut

By Fred Wu At the February 16 meeting of the Retired Men’s Association, Hollister Sturges introduced State Representative Steve Meskers of the 150th District in Connecticut. Steve identifies himself as a fiscally conservative, socially progressive Democrat. He was elected in November 2018, the first Democrat elected from the district in over 100 years, and has just completed the first year of his second term. Steve spoke about the current state of the Connecticut economy and what the state government is doing to ensure a bright future.

According to Meskers, Connecticut has made significant progress since the budget impasse in 2017. Three consecutive fiscal years have closed in surplus and the state has the most robust Budget Reserve Fund in its history. The state has reduced unfunded liabilities by making more than $1.6 billion in supplemental pension payments on top of the annual payments. The state’s credit rating was upgraded for the first time in 20 years.

M e ske r s s a i d t h at c o nt i nu i n g Connecticut’s recent run of financial successes is dependent on remaining disciplined. It cannot be presumed that the pandemic is over. Further, it is not until the FY 2024–2025 biennium that the gap between the growth in fixed costs versus revenue begins to narrow.

While large surpluses are projected for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, this business cycle will inevitably slow. The state needs to be prepared by continuing to be prudent stewards of the its resources.

He went on to day that the state’s fiscal position at the end of FY 2021 was much better than envisioned at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. FY 2021 ended with a General Fund surplus of $475.9 million, the third consecutive year-end surplus. In addition, the state was able to maintain budgetary reserves at 15% while paying down unfunded liabilities. Meskers noted that this success can be attributed to the effective response to the COVID-19 public health crisis which minimized disruption to most economic sectors and encouraged in-migration of residents and businesses, the unprecedented level of federal economic stimulus, and finally, the state’s budgetary discipline. Meskers said that the governor is proposing modest, but impactful, revisions to the state’s tax policies. He outlined those revisions as follows: First, to provide meaningful middleclass tax relief and increase equity in the taxation of automobiles across the state,

The state’s credit rating was upgraded for the first time in 20 years. the governor is proposing to lower the existing property tax cap of 45 mills on automobiles to 29 mills. Towns would be reimbursed for the lower cap, at an expected cost of $160.4 million annually.

Second, to stem the outf low of retirees, the governor is proposing to accelerate the phase-in of the pensions and annuities income tax exemption by three years. This provision allows single filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of less than $75,000 or joint filers with an AGI of less than $100,000 to exempt 100% of their pension and annuity income from the state income tax, up from the original 56%.

Third, the governor is also proposing to accelerate the restoration of the property tax credit on income tax to full eligibility while increasing the maximum credit amount from $200 to $300.

Currently, only filers age 65 and over or those with dependents are eligible for the property tax credit. This is expected to double the current 400,000 eligible filers.

Fourth, to help attract educated younger workers to the state while helping to ameliorate the student loan debt burden, the governor is proposing to expand the employer student loan tax credit. Businesses that contribute toward an employee’s student loan balance can

In the Q&A session that followed, Steve addressed many other important economic issues, including the shortage of affordable housing, the continuing high level of state government indebtedness, the g reat need for transpor tation infrastructure improvements, and the financial stress facing non-profit organizations unable to keep pace with

private sector wage increases.

The RMA’s upcoming presentation “Puppetry as an Art Form - The Legacy of Jim Henson” by L eslee Asch is scheduled for 11 AM on Wednesday, March 2. Ms. Asch worked for Jim Henson for over 20 years, and has written a book “Out of the Shadows: The Henson Festivals and Their Impact on Contemporary Puppet Theater.”

Her book is the first to focus solely on Jim Henson’s love of, and impact on puppetry as a vital contemporary art form. The author will highlight some of the important connections Connecticut and Greenwich have to this ancient and yet continually evolving art form. The University of Connecticut, since 1965, has been conferring undergraduate and graduate degrees in puppetry, through its Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry.

Grieving for the Loss of Dr. Paul Farmer

By Anne W. Semmes If the medical f ield could have saints the way the Catholic Church does, Dr. Paul Farmer who has just died at the untimely death of 62, would be on his way to sainthood. As founder of Partners in Health (PIH), a global health enterprise serving the poorest of the poor, he is said to have died of an acute cardiac event in his sleep. Was it just too much to bear the endless care to so many needy people?

I never met Paul Farmer, but I have known two people close to him, Leslie King, late of Greenwich (but still owner of Back 40 Mercantile in Old Greenwich) who serves on the PIH board, and I have talked with another profoundly close to him, Ophelia Dahl who is cofounder of Partners in Health.

How they must be feeling now is unbearable to imagine.

Dr. Fauci who we all know, is reported to have broken down in tears hearing of Farmer’s death reports The New York Times.

Fauci said he and Dr. Farmer were “like soul brothers.” “He called me his mentor, but in reality, he was more of a mentor to me.”

Ophelia Dahl, daughter of the famed author Roald Dahl, had shared with me last year on a story I wrote about Leslie King and her work with PIH just how she Ophelia came to know Paul Farmer. At age 18, living in England, she was accepted to Wellesley College, but her father had directed her to first go to Haiti to “do good works.”

And yes, ten percent of sales from her shop Back 40 Mercantile goes to Par tners In Health. It was that book, “Mountains Beyond Mountains,” (picked as a Greenwich Library Read) that led her to Partners in Health. “They’ve gotten to the most impoverished places where other groups say it’s too hard to

get to,” she told me.

Inspired Leslie introduced PI H to an inspiration” book group of 12 Greenwich women and introduced them to PIH E xe c ut ive D i r e c tor O phel ia Dahl. “We were just beginning our work in Rwanda,” shared Ophelia. “Lesley was able to get a whole community interested and involved. She did it with cold calling. She was not worried about reaching out to her friends.

She held a fundraiser. There was never anyone doing it like that. She organized it all and then sustained their interest and brought people to our sites in Rwanda.”

Fast forward to a final tribute she had for her then Greenwich friend Leslie. “There’s a word we use at PIH – ‘accompaniment.’

When someone sides with someone, stands shoulder to shou lder w it h t hem, on t he b oa rd level, on t he f r iend’s level, on the support level – they are accompanying them in challenging times.”

For Ophelia and for Leslie, these are indeed challenging and painful times to have lost their leader Paul Farmer. There is only phrase I know that resonates as it would with Paul Farmer, “Carry on.”

Offering Positive Advice When asked for advice, Julian Fellowes, the creator behind TV shows Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age recently said: “You have to have faith in yourself.”

When he meets young people he says to them, “Stay away from those who don’t believe in you. Later on, when your career has fallen into place, you can pick them up again. But in the beginning, there is a limit to how much negativity you can withstand.”

We like that advice and how true it is. Negativity can be toxic, both to the person emanating it as well as to the person receiving it. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of negativity both in our community and in the world at the moment. Two years of COVID restrictions will do that and certainly a possible war in the Ukraine does not help.

However, we need to fight the negativity. How easy is it to say, “thank you?” Humans are not naturally negative in nature. You must work at it.

When someone smiles at us, or we say “thank you” chemicals are released in our brains that make us happy.

Another aspect of Julian Fellowes we like is that he is giving advice to young people. Those graduating from school or embarking on their first careers now have a more difficult time than their parents did. The challenges and distractions are far greater than they were 25 years ago and can lead to a lack of confidence.

That is where we as a community come in.

Against Church Street Project

By Lee Prince I n A mer ica, it has a lways been the mantra, that we aspire to a better life, to learn more, to make a better Mousetrap, to have a better home, better life, etc. That meant that we have to work hard to accomplish that. We chose the town in which we live because of certain features that we valued.

It was our hard-earned money that allowed us to rent or buy “our home”.

Here we have a lovely town that appeals to builders and others

who want to make money because they know it is a desirable place for people to live. It is to the detriment of the town because it will destroy what makes the town special.

Change is never comfortable but it doesn’t need to be destructive.

Building a 7- story structure in an area of smaller historic homes turns that neighborhood into a city.

Build it and they will come.

There is little parking now on Church Street and Sherwood Place. It is difficult for residents and visitors alike. A big apartment building like this will only make

In the beginning, there is a limit to how much negativity you can withstand. Commitment of Communities to Residents LETTER

By Richard G. Schulze

When people move to a community, they do so because they like its ambiance, they like its character. That is usually where they want to live and grow old. If they buy a home, likely the largest investment of their life, they do so on the basis that the community will remain reasonably unchanged in the future. If they want to live in a city or a town center, that’s where they will move. If they want to live in the countryside where there is 2-acre zoning, or want to live in an historic district because they like its looks, that is where they will invest. It is

While Greenwich is a community that is socially and economically diverse, no one can argue that it is not a well-educated community. One of the most educated and well-read individuals we know never finished high school, and instead joined the Marine Corps. His education comes from a thirsty mind that craves learning, and what he does with it is to offer advice to young people that come to see him.

This is where we as a community can do better – offering young people good and positive advice.

We are an amazing community when it comes to supporting non-profits financially. With COVID on the wane, Spring is shaping up to be very busy with all LETTER the fundraising events on the calendar. We love it, and hope everyone is successful. But we know Greenwich can do more than just write a check. There are many in Greenwich who can help mentor young people and offer advice.

reasonable for the investor to expect that existing zoning and historic districts w ill remain unchanged. The local P&Z is there to consider reasonable exceptions, but not to make wholesale changes to the character of the community.

Having the State dictate zoning in all communities that changes their character not only is breaking faith with the residents of the State, but is taking away the rights of citizens for local government.

That is one of the reasons why the American Revolution was fought.

From a practical perspective, we here in Greenwich have become aware that the infrastructure of our Tow n is close to being

overtaxed. In the past year storms have f looded out homes, sewers have collapsed or overflown, and the electrical network is having to be rebuilt. All of that will be further exacerbated by how global warming impacts our community.

We can not afford a significant increase in our population solely because developers want to line their pockets. We need orderly and locally-planned growth.

Hartford claims that Greenwich has some 5% of its p opu lat ion i n low-i ncome or subsidized housing. Yet some 20% of the students in the Greenwich Public Schools avail themselves of the reduced and

free lunch program. Something i n w r on g w it h how 8 -3 0 g i s written! Before we are forced to violate our local zoning laws and change the character of the Town of Greenwich and comparable towns in Connecticut, current and new applications for significant violations of our zoning under 8-30g should be stopped in the courts until the issue of the State over r iding com m itments of communities to their residents is resolved.

To be sure, this is not the only infrastructure issue facing Greenwich. Just last week, another of our schools faced an emergency shut down, our sewer system is overloaded and the water system is close to failure. The fact is that Greenwich is at high risk of a major catastrophe.

Proposals are piling up for a record num ber of hig hdensity, mutli-story buildings that would be shielded from most tow n zoning ordinances by a misguided state law commonly referred to 8-30g.

Insights into the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

By Harry Arora While foreign policy is a Federal matter, I hear anxiety and concern in our community about the Russian militar y buildup around Uk raine.

Ukraine is the second largest of those former Soviet countries, with 41 MM. people. Ukrainians have since then wanted to follow other Eastern European nations like Poland in becoming part of Europe by joining the European Union and NATO. That would lead to an improved standard of living and prosperity. However, Russia has been opposed to losing its influence on Ukraine and does NOT want Ukraine to join NATO or the EU.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? R u s s i a’s r e c o g n it i o n o f Donetsk and Luhansk and it’s legalization of current battle positions is unacceptable per international law, but could end the f ighting and human loss in the area. If this is the end of Putin’s current gameplan, the world would be very unhappy but relieved. The real worry is if Russia invades the rest of Ukraine. That would lead to thousands of casualties and make a mockery of the sovereig nty and treaties of countries. In 1994, Russia, US, and the UK guaranteed Ukraine their security to give up nuclear weapons. However, concern with Russian casualties, the US, Chinese, and global stance, and the German threat of canceling a major pipeline (Nord Stream2) have many concluding that Putin will not go for full-fledged invasion. Russia cannot be in combat formation for too long, so his plans will be apparent in

next few days.

What does it mean for American security and economy? The direct impact on the US and Europe will be high energy and commodity prices.

Russia is a significant exporter of oil, natural gas, wheat, and other commodities, and any western sanctions could see retaliation from Russia on these critical items. Hence, it is clear that Putin has a strong hand and understands that a “small incursion” will not lead to much of a western response. The US, at this time, is the largest oil and gas producer in the world, and any such price increases should be temporary for US. So overall, the impact on our economy and security can be expected to be small.

GHS Girls’ Basketball Gearing Up for Potentially Lengthy Postseason Run

By Paul Silverfarb A lthough the Greenw ich High School girls’ basketball tea m su f fered a toug h loss to open play in the Fairf ield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference playoffs last week, head coach Rashamel Jones plans on hav ing his team rebound. And that starts on Monday.

“We’re excited going into the state tournament,” Jones s a i d . “A l t h o u g h w e h a d a disappointing loss to [Fairfield] Ludlowe in the FCIAC playoffs, we are still feeling pretty good about ourselves. We’ve been having some great practices.

We’re going to continue to work on a few things and just get ready to play. I think we’re working on things during practice that will make us successful. Our stuff isn’t going to change too much. We just need to step up our intensity a couple of notches and work on tightening up our defense. If we can stick to our defensive game plan, I think we can do a little damage in the state tournament.”

With a regular season record of 12-8, the Lady Cardinals are situated in the middle of the pack in class LL. Whether GHS plays on the road or at home is still up in the air as of press time, however Jones said his team will be ready to take on whoever is their opponent during Monday’s CIAC class LL opener.

“We have one more game,” Jones said. “That’s what I keep telling the girls. We can’t look past Monday’s game. It’s our only game and that’s the game we are getting ready for.”

Just getting to the postseason seemed like a tall order for the f irst-year head coach of the Cardinals. The beginning of the season was a little crazy.

Everything was brand new, and Jones was working with players that he’s never seen before.

During his tryouts, Jones was looking at seeing who could compete at certain positions on the court and put a priority on putting names with faces. It was a far cry from returning coaches that already had an idea of what systems they were going to run and which players would be successful in certain roles.

“After my third tryout, I pretty knew what type of team I was going to have and I knew we were going to be a fast-breaking team that can get up the f loor and a defensive team that defend

the perimeter pretty well,” Jones said. “When the season started, I knew the defense and how well we take care of the basketball were going to be key and I still think that now going into the playoffs.”

Greenw ich Hig h quick ly bonded as a team and it showed.

After starting the season 2-4, the Cardinals ran off seven wins in eight games, beating teams like Fairf ield Warde (57-38), Glastonbury (48-44), Trumbull (63-59), Staples (48-45), and netting a buzzer-beater in the final seconds against Stamford High School at home to win 4847.

“We had a nice win streak

Big Red has been senior captain Kristin Riggs. Jones said that she’s the team’s leading scorer, second on the team in terms of rebounds and leads Big Red in terms of dishing the ball.

“She does it a l l a nd her le adersh ip a bi l it y sets her apart from everybody else,” Jones said. “She’s talking on the floor, setting players up and telling them where to go. She’s surprised me a little bit. I knew she could score and handle the basketball, but as far getting on the boards and rebounding, she’s been impressive. She’s averaging five rebounds a game and that’s coming my point guard. What she’s been doing since day one has been tremendous for us.”

going and we were clicking on all cylinders,” Jones said. “We had losses to Norwalk, Newtown and at home to Kolbe Cathedral early on but I could tell that they were determined. The beginning of the season was just us experimenting with different players at different positions and seeing who could handle the ball during different situations. I give all the credit to the girls because mentally they were focused and ready from day one. Seeing the type of energy and effort that they put our in practice every day, I knew that this could be a special season. And that showed during our win streak.”

Leading the way this year for

Not to be outdone is fellow senior captain Kayla Anderson.

Jones said that A nderson reminds him of former NBA standout Dennis Rodman in terms of her style of play.

“I say that with all respect, meaning that the things that she does on the floor don’t really show up in the stat book,” Jones said. “She’s diving on the floor, goi ng a f ter ever y rebou nd, contesting every shot, and is always defending the best low post player on every team. She’s a warrior and is the heart and soul of the team.”

Junior Carolyn Frankie is the team’s point guard and was the individual that hit the gamewinner for the Cards during

their home game against the Black Knights. Jones said that Frankie has been battling with Riggs in terms of leading the team in scoring throughout the season.

“She’s one of the smallest girls in the league but she also has one of the biggest games in the league,” Jones said. “She doesn’t shy away from shots, she has a great ball handle, and is always attacking.”

In addition to R iggs and Anderson, Kelly Martyanov, Camilla Jablonski, and Ashley Torres-Brown are the seniors on the roster. Jones said that his senior class has inspired the rest of the roster throughout the season.

“Those girls live and breathe basketball,” Jones said. “To hear the stories of when they were freshmen, sophomores or juniors competing against these schools and not qualifying for the FCIACs or state tournament was tough. To send them out qualifying for States and FCIACs is great. I feel happy for them.

We dedicated this year to the seniors.”

Although Greenwich High fell to Fairfield in the FCIAC opener, the game opened Jones’ eyes in terms of what needs to be done to be successful during Big Red’s upcoming class LL tournament.

“We need to step up our toughness,” Jones said. “Once we are able to step up our toughness and take that to another level, I think we’re going to be able to match the Ludlowe’s, Enfield’s, Rdigef ield’s, and Danbury’s.

Those are the teams that beat us this year and those teams applied a lot of pressure and were very physical with us. Once we can counter that and still be able to perform, that will be key for us.”

Jones has trained female basketball players for the past 15 years, however this season was the first time he’s coaching an entire squad. While the head coach is sharing his stellar basketball knowledge with the Cards, the girls on the team aren’t the only one that’s picking up key lessons.

“The girls taught me how to be a little more patient with myself and taught be how to be a little more organized,” Jones said. “It’s the little things that they are teaching me that will enhance my coaching skills. I’ve been more detail-orientated with the girls and it’s been a win-win situation.”

GHS Boys Track and Field Team Places Fourth at State Open; Several Athletes Qualified for Nationals

By David Fierro G r e e nw i c h H i g h S c h o o l ’s indoor boys track and field team continued its sensational season Saturday at the CIAC State Open Championships.

Fol low i n g a s e c ond-plac e f i n ish i n t he te a m st a nd i ng s at last week ’s CI AC Class L L Championships, the Cardinals placed fourth at yesterday’s CIAC State Open Championships – a bigger meet that included teams f rom t he state i n a l l classes.

Greenwich placed fourth out of 46 teams at the championship meet, which was held at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven. The Cardinals finished with 24 team points, for its fourth-place finish,

one point ahead of Staples. Hall won the State Open team title (52), followed by Hillhouse (48) and Conard (40).

Greenwich junior Gianluca Bianchi posted a third-place finish in the 300-meter dash with a time of 35.98 seconds. Bianchi’s time was faster than the 36.22 mark he registered at the Class LL Championships.

J o n a t h a n Yo r k , a H a l l sophomore, won the 300-meter dash title, clocking in at 35.67.

Bianchi’s outstanding performance earned him a spot in the 2022 Nike Indoor Nationals, which is scheduled to take place at New York ’s Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex.

Sacred Heart Advances to FAA Basketball Tournament Semifinals with Victory Against Greenwich Country Day

After struggling a bit over its final few regular season games, Sacred Heart knew it had to be on point in its postseason matchup against visiting, upsetminded Greenwich Country Day School in order to keep its season going and following four strong quarters, the home team advanced to play another game.

Receiving points from 10 different players, fourth-seeded Sacred Heart Greenwich used a fast start to build a double-digit first-half lead and proceeded to post a 74-46 victory over f ifth-seeded Greenwich Country Day School in the FAA Tournament quarterfinals The Sacred Heart Tigers moved on to Thursday’s FAA Tournament semifinals, where they will visit top-seeded St. Luke’s School for the right to play in the championship game.

S e n i o r fo r w a r d F r a n ny O’Brien led a balanced scoring effort for SHG, scoring a teambest 15 points, including three 3-pointers. Sophomore guard, Victor ia Ha r t, who usua lly comes off the bench, started Tuesday and scored 11 points, wh i le s e n ior c e nte r S a ra h Augustine posted 12 points to ignite the winning effort.

“I thought we came out with a lot of intensity,” Sacred Heart Greenwich coach Ayo Hart said.

“We know Greenwich Country Day School got a lot better from the first time we played them.

We had to come out ready to play. The past couple of weeks we’ve struggled with one bad quarter, so today we had to have four good quarters and I think we did that on both ends of the floor.”

Freshman guard Eva Wi l kerson added 10 poi nts with two 3-pointers and helped Sacred Heart maintain its fast tempo offensively. The Sacred

Heart Tigers led the Greenwich Country Day Tigers, 20-8 after the f irst quar ter and 36 -19 at halftime.

The 3-point shot bolstered Sacred Heart’s offense. Each time Greenwich Country Day tried to cut into Sacred Heart’s lead, the hosts converted a shot from beyond the arc.

“They know what’s at stake a nd t hey broug ht t hat a nd showed it – another level of focus, another level of intensity,” Ayo Hart said. “I was super pleased, we have been doing a lot of shooting. We moved the ball a little bit better today and we were getting open looks.”

The victors improved their record to 11-9 overall and 7-3 i n FA A action. Mea nwh i le, the defeat marked the end of the season for the Greenwich Countr y Day Tigers, who showed significant improvement as the season progressed in their first full varsity season.

Coached by Elisa Brown, GCDS finished with a 5-5 record in the FAA. Greenwich Country Day, which lost to Sacred Heart 6746 during the regular season, received 12 points apiece from guards Brianna McDermott and Kylie Frank.

“This was a year of improvement,” Brown said. “We really focused on culture this year and buying in. These girls bought in. We’re a very young group. To come in as a first year varsity team and get fifth and play against a really talented Sacred Heart team, what more can you ask for?”

Wilkerson buried a 3 -p oi nter, Aug ust i ne made two foul shots, Victoria Hart scored off a steal and O’Brien swished a short jump shot, giving the home team a quick 8-0 advantage. Scoring off a stellar move in low post, then off a putback, Augustine extended Sacred Heart’s advantage to 18-6 late in the opening quarter.

Victoria Hart’s runner in the lane, made it 20-8, heading i nto t he se cond q ua r ter. A 3-pointer by McDermott brought Greenw ich Cou nt r y Day to within 27-17 midway through the second quarter, but Sacred

Heart ended the second quarter with a 9-2 run, behind five points from O’Brien. A co-captain, O’Brien had her shooting touch from the perimeter throughout.

“It was def initely an advantage we had,” O’Brien said of her squad’s outside shooting.

“They started to match it in the second half, which gave us a little scare, but I think that we moved the ball really well and we meshed together and were really able to get those shots.”

Aug ustine scored of f an offensive rebound, then guard Ava Curto nailed a 3-pointer, giving Sacred Heart a 20-point lead at 41-21 early on in the third quarter. Forward Kelly Holmgren (6 points) drove the lane and scored, while being fouled, then made the ensuing free throw for GCDS, making it 41-2 4, but the hosts went on a 10-0 spurt, with O’Brien scoring four points, to open a commanding 51-24 advantage.

“We knew we had to have a lot of energy and get those steals to have the momentum and raise our offense,” said the 6-foot-4 Augustine, a co-captain, who also reg istered double f igures in rebounds. “Those steals on defense we had helped our offense get ahead.”

“Our offensive rebounding really helped that and we were able to get some easy putbacks a nd ou r sho ot i ng was on,” Augustine noted.

Said Victoria Hart, who had nine steals. “I think we were definitely moving the ball more than usual and it opened up some space for Sarah to get points inside and then kicking it out to get those 3s in the beginning. We were definitely anticipating the passes to get those steals.”

O’Brien totaled 10 of her 15 points in the second half, s ophomor e g ua r d /for w a r d Payton Sfreddo scored all nine of her points during the second half and Curto finished with five points in the triumph. Sacred Heart also received scoring from guard Olivia Leahy (two points), starting guard Madison Hart (3 points), forward Jada Henry (4 points) and forward/center Kaitlin Robinson (1 point).

Forward Rory Ashmeade added six points, while guards Caroline Hart and Nina Ferry had two points apiece for GCDS. “They play a fast-paced game so you have to be able to keep up and slow down,” Brown said of Sacred Heart. “We had some really big shots, we hit some great shots. We’ve been working on ou r sk i l l work a nd t hat transferred into our game today.

This year was about culture for our team. I think we made our mark in the league.”

Sacred Heart gets another chance against St. Luke’s, which is undefeated, with one of their many victories coming against the Tigers.

“Round two, we have been practicing for it and looking forward to it,” O’Brien said of the FAA semifinals. “We can’t wait.”

“We’re ready, we knew St. Luke’s is the one team that stood between us and the FAA title and this is a good energy to have going into that game,” Ayo Hart said. “We played a great second half at their gym. If we can play four good quarters, I think we can play right with St. Luke’s.”

Brunswick Hockey Team Earns Key Road Win Against Frederick Gunn

By David Fierro

Brunsw ick ’s hockey team pulled out a 4-3 road win against Frederick Gunn School Friday evening, killing off four thirdperiod penalties —including an extended five on three — before

junior defenseman Niko Cadoret scored the game-winner with five minutes to play in what, was, a playoff-like hockey matchup.

Frederick Gunn had a 2-0 lead after netting a pair in the goals the first four minutes, but the Bruins got back into it with a

power-play tally by sophomore Brendan Giles with 10 seconds left in the first period.

In the second period, the Bruins scored two more goals on the man advantage, as senior John Burdett and sophomore Sean Gibbons put their team

ahead. The Highlanders didn’t go away and tied it before the second intermission to set the stage for the frenetic finish.

Four Br uins were sent to the penalty box in succession, put t i ng t he pre ssu r e on t he Brown and White penalty kill

unit. Shots were blocked, clears we r e m a d e a n d s ave s we r e aplenty by junior goaltender Brendan Holahan.

When the situation returned to even strength, Cadoret joined the rush, took a sophomore Luke Drury feed, and sniped one up

under the bar to give the Bruins the hard-fought victory.

Brunswick returns home to Hartong Rink Friday for a 5 p.m. game against Trinity-Pawling School. They will then travel to Deerfield Academy on Saturday.

“Living in God’s time”

COLUMN

Through all these uncertain and topsy-turvy times, I’ve turned my thoughts to God’s time.

By Stephanie Johnson A few weeks ago we experienced a beautiful snow that melted on the roads and twinkled brightly on the trees and grass, creating a sense of living in a snow globe. In the very same week as winter flourished, spring seemed to appear with cardinals, blue jays and chipmunks frolicking in my backyard. The seasons used to be a predictable marker of time but that no longer seems to hold true. Recently the passage of time, like the seasons, seems to be chaotic and unexpected.

Like most people, I imagine, I like to try to make sense of my life

chronologically. One thing follows after another. Life can be orderly, or appear to be so, if we mark time by the seasons of our lives – school age, teen years, middle aged and senior years.

The seasons should be ordered and consistent with predicable weather patterns.

Yet in these past two years, time itself seems to have turned upside dow n, even sideways. Days in lockdown seemed often like weeks, and weeks like months. Lack of a clear schedule made all of our days blur into each other.

Many people have begun to speak in terms of the time before the pandemic, pandemic time and now (hopefully) post pandemic. For many, the tragedy of COVID in the loss of a loved one will

forever be marked as pandemic times.

For those who are struggling with long COVID, their pandemic season will sadly last longer.

We are all longing for time to right itself. News of decreasing COVID cases combined with the lessening of safety restrictions have offered signs that we may be entering a new but normal time.

Excitement about Billy Joel headlining the Greenwich Town Party (and some dismay for those who haven’t gotten tickets!) has been building as we turn our thoughts to a hopefully normal summertime.

Through all these uncertain and topsy-turvy times, I’ve turned my thoughts to God’s time. Kairos is a Greek word that suggests the opportune time. Kairos is the in-

breaking of the Spirit into our lives and days. It’s a reminder that God has been present in all our times, from the beginning of the world as told in the Book of Genesis through today. I remain convinced, through my faith, that God has never left us or any other people throughout the history, even as we have all struggled with tragedy, fear and instability. God’s time is infinite and undefined.

Of equal impor tance, ever y season of our lives has meaning and significance in the order of God’s time.

The familiar passage in the Book of Ecclesiastes (3:1) frames this as “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Here the unnamed author, referred to as “Qohelet” or the preacher, states

that nothing is out of order in God’s presence. Qohelet continues to remind us that the sequence of life is always in balance, even if it’s not in the human construct of chronological order which we might demand or wish for. There is the correct and proper “time to be born, and time to die (3;2); time to plant, and time to pluck up what is planted (3;3); and “a time to mourn and a time to dance” (3:5). I find comfort that, with our eyes and hearts focused on God, time will unfold in ways that are purposeful and meaningful.

I am also deeply grateful that, as the author of Ecclesiastes invites us to consider, God has blessed us with “days of life under the sun” (8:15) to enjoy and live fully. May it be so that we flourish in whatever time and season of our life and world we are in today.

The Reverend Stephanie M. Johnson is the rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Riverside.

Greenwich’s Gated Communities

By Mark Pruner Greenwich is lucky in that we have a variety of communities.

We have duplexes in the R-6 zone in Pemberwick. We have midrise apartments in downtown G r e e nw ich a nd a v a r iet y of condos, but what usually gets the national press are some of our largest houses, selling for prices that can get into 8 figures. We have two areas that get particular attention along these lines, Belle Haven on Long Island Sound in the south and Conyers Farm in the north that overlaps the New York border.

Surprisingly, these two large, gated communities are not the gated communities sales leader in Greenwich. Milbrook has had by far the most sales over the last two decades with 195 sales from 1999 to 2021 (which is as long as the GMLS has kept electronic records.) These 195 compare to 139 sales for Belle Haven and only 61 sales in Conyers Farm.

If you look at total sales dollar over the same period, then Belle Haven with its combination of the second highest sales number and very high average sales has total dollar sales volume of $854 million compared to Milbrook’s $440 million, which shows just diverse Milbrook housing is with homes ranging from 1,700 s.f. to 10,000 s.f.

OUR HIDDEN AWAY GATED COMMUNITIES In addition to the big three of Milbrook, Belle Haven and Conyers Farm, we have some really nice, gated associations tucked away in areas where many people don’t see them as the drive by or that are down a long road.

Classic examples of the latter are Partridge Hollow in north central Greenwich and Harbor Point in Riverside. Both are at the end of long roads with manned security stations.

They provide lots of privacy and also great places to walk and meet your neighbors. I was lucky last year to represent a seller in Harbor Point and a buyer in Partridge Hollow. They are both great places to live. In fact, they are such great places that people don’t leave. Partridge Hollow has had 23 sales on the GMLS in 22 years and Harbor Point has only had 20 sales in the same period.

Part of the reason for this is that there are a lot of intracommunity private sales.

While many gated-community homeowners love their community, they often have their heart set on that one perfect house in their community. They let their neighbor k now, that when it’s time to sell, they’d love the f irst option to buy. In my Partridge Hollow purchase my clients had been looking for the perfect Greenwich house for two years. Fortunately, we found the perfect community for them and closed on the private sale, before it got to market.

SALES HISTORY Gated communities are special and there aren’t a lot of them.

Most years we have 15 to 30 sales in these communities; and then came the pandemic. In 2020, sales

Home in the gated community of Milbrook.

in gated communities jumped to 44 sales and in 2021, sales further increased to 53 sales. This was a jump of 150% in sales over the prior 10-year average of 21 sales.

The pandemic encouraged people to seek out more privacy and space, the increase in crime in NYC during the pandemic also strongly encouraged, interest in these gated communities with security gates and/or patrolling security.

Paradoxically, the outdoors amenities of Milbrook, Conyers Farm, Belle Haven and the other gated communities also drew buyers to these communities.

There are probably few sports that are better for social distancing than golfing at Milbrook, sailing at Belle Haven or horse riding at Conyer’s Farm. Of course, the beach and it’s own picnic island at Harbor Point isn’t bad. Nor is a walk at Mead Point or Field Point

Circle with it’s beautiful water views and no traffic to speak of.

Clearly, the club house, dining room, tennis, paddle and water views at both Belle Haven and Milbrook bring in a lot of people.

They also make for a congenial c r ow d o f n e i g h b o r s f r o m a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities. There is nothing like a couple of sets of paddle tennis, a drink afterwards and having spouses join you for dinner to ma ke for a rela x ing even ing in a world that can seem very complicated. Of course, a lot of folks say that about Greenwich as whole.

RENOVATIONS AND ADDITIONS There is one issue with what might otherwise seem idyllic places; they aren’t making any more of them. The youngest gated communities are the Chieftans in western Greenw ich and

Conyers Farm on the New York border. Both of these “newbies” were carved out of two of the Greenwich’s great estates in the eighties, while Belle Haven goes back to the 19th Century and Milbrook was founded in the 1920s.

As a result, they both have a variety of older houses that are great candidates for renovation, which is just what they owners did at 113 Woodside Drive in Milbrook. It’s hard to believe it is the same house. The original house they purchased in 2015, sat on a wonderful lakefront lot, but was an older colonial with half a second f loor and a 2-car garage stuck on the side.

The new purchasers tra nsfor med it into a Tudor, one of the traditional designs in

Milbrook. They created a full second f loor with extra height ceilings and four bedrooms. The first f loor and lower level were totally redone and to balance out the design, a second 2-car garage was added. So far. we have had 10 showing requests and the house isn’t even officially on the market.

You can stop by the public open house on Sunday from 1 – 4 pm to see the transformation yourself.

Since they aren’t making any more gated communities, it’s not a bad place to consider investing give the limited supply and high demand.

From The Oral History Project Havemeyer Park – A Unique Community

By Mary A. Jacobson What does a sugar cane magnate, a professional boxer, and World War II veterans have in common? The answer, of course, is Havemeyer Park, a planned community in Old Greenwich, just west of the Stamford town line, that has thrived since the 1940s.

Oral History Project volunteers Carol Ashwell and Janet McDonald interviewed early residents of Havemeyer Park in the 1990s to better understand this place with its unique culture and history.

One can trace the histor y of Havemeyer Park to its initial incarnation, that of a 200-acre homestead, just north of Boston Post Road, where Henry Osbourne Havemeyer built a family country retreat in 1880, named Hilltop. Havemeyer, president of the American Sugar Refining Company, enjoyed the bucolic setting of Hilltop with its mansion, barn, three greenhouses, farm animals, and extensive plantings.

Havemeyer died in 1907. The home was demolished after his wife, Louisine, died in 1929.

Gene Tunney, known primarily as the world heavyweight champion from 1926 to 1928, married socialite Polly Lauder of Greenwich in 1928. In 1946, he purchased the property from the Havemeyer estate for $178,000. Tunney, a former Marine, envisioned the land, now named Havemeyer Park, as a housing development for returning W WII veterans.

He and Arthur M. Starck formed the Stamford Building Company.

The Cape Cod-style homes were built on one-quarter acre lots.

The first units were completed by 1947; eventually 360 of them were constructed. A $1,000 loan from the bank could procure a home priced at $10,000. It is no surprise that the neighborhood boasts street names like McArthur Dr., Halsey Dr., and Nimitz Pl. Gin ny R idenour, a for mer

resident, recounted a story about Mr. Tunney. “I heard that in the early years he used to come along and check out the site; and if people would come out and say, ‘Mr. Tunney, I don’t have enough room for my garage’ or whatever, he would try to accommodate the wishes of the residents. And the builder finally told him, ‘You have to stay off the site because we can’t make all these changes.’”

R u s s e l l Ve r n e t l i v e d i n Havemeyer Park f rom 1950 t o 1 9 9 6 . W h e n h e m ove d i n “practically ever ybody was a veteran…We had a Cape Cod, and it was a two-story, but the second f loor was never f inished; and the basement, of course, wasn’t f inished. But, over a period of time I completely f inished the upstairs into two bedrooms and a bath and made a playroom in the basement…Almost everybody who moved in was a hands-on handyman.” Vernet describes some of the streets as dirt roads “for a long time after we moved

in…So there was a lot of roadwork that had to be done.”

Havemeyer Park’s population consisted mostly of young families.

It was amusingly dubbed “Have a Baby Park” for the many children i n t h e n e i g h b o rh o o d . G i n ny Ridenour remembered the first day she moved there in 1959. “My next door neighbor came over and she said, ‘Do you have children?’ and I said, ‘Yes, we have one.’ And she said, ‘Oh, I’m so glad because we have three.’ And from that moment on we began a beautiful experience in Havemeyer Park.”

Within the community there were many organized and i mpr ompt u s o c ia l ac t iv it ie s.

From Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops to picnics, a garden club, cost u me pa r t ie s, Va lent i ne’s Dances and more. “We really had a whole social life right within our own area. Nobody joined the Newcomers or anything like that.

They never felt they needed to,” according to Ridenour.

Ru s s el l Ver net de s c r i b e d

a Christmas tradition where a neighbor “used to put up a big screen in front of his house; and he had a projector and would project the words of the Christmas carols onto that screen. Then he’d play the accordion, and we’d all stand around and sing.”

The Havemeyer Park Owners Association, begun in 1948, grew out of concer n for roads a nd traffic.

She is survived by her sister Polly Rowley; Alice’s former husband of 48 years L. Thomas Melly; their children Tom, Laura, Lee, and David; grandchildren, Tommy, Caroline, Madeline, and Liam; and great grandson, Banks.

She had a love for nature, sailing, travel, and life-long learning. She was blessed to have visited over 100 countries, as well as Antarctica, and the North Pole.

Alice was born in New York City to Maxine and Randolph Pack, and raised in Darien.

She attended Chatham Hall, and Vassar College, graduating with a BA in Geology, Political Science, and Economics. She completed a program in Business Administration at Harvard/Radcliffe, and a program in Finance & Accounting at Wharton, at a time when full MBA’s were not available to women.

Alice was a dedicated parent and grandparent and devoted herself to a life of extensive community involvement.She cemented her calling with the Junior Leagues of New York City, and Greenwich, where she became President at the age of 39.

She taught outdoor education programs at The Greenwich Audubon and Bruce Museum, and served the Inland Wetlands & Water Courses Agency of Greenwich, and the Western Long Island Sound Council.

Alice went on to serve the Greenwich Representative Town Meeting, was President of the Greenwich Library, a Director of the Greenwich Hospital, and was elected to the Greenwich Board of Estimate and Taxation, where she served from 1992-2001, and was Chairman from 1998-2001.

Alice was additionally very active with her beloved non-profit causes: Pacific House – Shelter for the Homeless, Liberation Programs, The River House adult day care facility, the Bruce Museum, and she served as a trustee of Vassar College, to name a few.

For Alice, it was an honor and a pleasure to serve and to work with so many wonderfully dedicated and talented professionals and volunteers.

And she was deeply moved as her teammates acknowledged her efforts and commitment with multiple community service awards.

Alice applied herself to each of her causes with everything she had to offer. She was strong and courageous, and deeply principled to the end. We will miss her.

A service in celebration of Alice’s life will be held at Round Hill Community Church in Greenwich on June 2, at 11 am.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her honor to any organization with which she was affiliated, including her professional caregivers: At Home in Greenwich, Greenwich Hospital, and Nathaniel Witherell.

William Hallenbeck

William J. Hallenbeck passed away peacefully on Feb. 13.

Bill was a kind and gentle man who exemplified 1 Cor. 13:4-8 “Love is patient, love is kind…” The love Bill held in his heart for his Savior flowed outward to include his wife of 46 years, his “Minty”, his children, grandchildren, siblings, extended family and friends.

Bill was a man who exemplified God’s call to serve rather than to be served. He frequently took walks throughout his neighborhood for the sole purpose of picking up litter. He was a regular on Midnight Runs to feed the homeless with fellow church members.

Wherever he lived or worshiped, Bill took meticulous care of the grounds. He was known by all to hold in especially low regard his personal nemesis, dandelions. Bill delighted in making several specialty dishes and graciously serving them to those he loved. People would, in fact, send requests for his famous burgers and/or stuffed pork chops well in advance of their visits.

Bill was a longtime, faithful member of Stanwich Church. He loved to sing and had a heart for worship. He enjoyed attending men’s Bible studies and weekend church retreats.

He was an avid skier and sailor, a wonderful note writer, and a great dancer. Bill also stayed actively and enthusiastically involved with his beloved Camp Dudley. In his spare time, he enjoyed gardening, reading, doing challenging crossword and Sudoku puzzles, and was a great Backgammon player.

Bill was born in Glens Falls, NY, on Nov. 8, 1938, and made his home there until he left for college. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and began his career in advertising with J. Walter Thompson and went on to work for several other ad agencies.

He eventually used his skills and knowledge to work on a joint newspaper venture between the U.S. and Russia. He later became involved in the creation of communications networks as the age of technology presented itself with new possibilities.

In his later years, Bill began a second career as an estate manager for several large properties in the Westchester County area.

Bill is survived by his wife, Patricia, his three children, Heather Titterton (Paul), Cathy Carlson (Mark), and Chris Hallenbeck (Lisa); his grandchildren, Sophia and P.J. Titterton, Emily, Sally, and Grace Carlson, and Lily and Charlotte Hallenbeck; and his siblings, Chris Hallenbeck and Hope Hall. He was predeceased by his sister Anne McWilliams.

Paul Joseph Paulson, a longtime resident of Greenwich, passed away peacefully on Sunday, Feb. 6 at the age of 89.

Paul was born in White Plains, New York on Sept. 25, 1932 to Anne Loughlin, an Irish immigrant from Galway, and Paul Paulson (Pavlos Pavlidis) an immigrant from Greek Cyprus. Paul the son grew up in White Plains, working at his father’s Diner after school and playing baseball for the White Plains High School Tigers. After attending Naval Boot Camp in the Summer of 1949, Paul was admitted to The Ohio State University and thus deferred his military service until graduation. During his time at OSU, Paul was an active member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.

The National Sigma Chi Fraternity recognizes Paul as a “Significant Sig,” an honor that recognizes those alumni members whose exemplary achievements in their fields of endeavor have brought great honor and prestige to the name of Sigma Chi. Upon Graduation from OSU in December of 1954, Paul attended the US Naval Officer’s Candidate School in Providence, RI earning his commission as an officer in May 1955.

While serving as a Lieutenant in the Navy, Paul received a Letter of Commendation from the Vice Admiral of the Sixth Fleet for his actions during the Suez Crisis of 1956, where the US Navy was called upon to evacuate 1500 civilians from the Middle East on the eve of mounting hostilities between Israel and Egypt. Lieutenant Paulson’s role in handling classified communications between the US Naval assets, local authorities, and military forces from France and Great Britain were deemed crucial in the successful and safe evacuation of hundreds of local civilians.

Following his honorable discharge from the US Navy, Paul received his MBA from the Wharton Business School in 1959 and in 1962

was the founding Director of the Wharton Club of New York City. In 1959, Paul joined Compton Advertising, a leading advertising agency based in New York City. While at Compton, Paul ran the account for Procter & Gamble, the largest advertiser in the country at the time.

Advertising was not just a job but a passion as Paul regularly used his wife and 5 children as focus group participants in front of the family TV, watching rough-cuts of various TV spots prior to broadcasting them nationally. In 1978 Paul was recruited away from Compton to join the creative powerhouse Doyle Dane Bernbach, as President of DDB New York.

DDB was responsible for some of the most iconic advertising in history from brands such as Volkswagen, Polaroid, American Tourister, and Alka Seltzer. In 1982, Paul left DDB to start his own agency with creative partner Tony Isidore. Isidore & Paulson’s clients included Kraft General Foods, Princess Hotels, American Home Products, Guinness Stout and Harp Ales. Paul retired from the Ad business in 1992 and continued to serve as a marketing consultant until 2010.

By far, the most rewarding part of Paul’s life was the time he spent with his family, friends and dogs. Paul and his wife Kathy raised their family in the Milbrook neighborhood of Greenwich, which became a central theme in Paul and Kathy’s life. Whether playing endless hours of tennis or paddle tennis, attending swim meets for his children and then grandchildren, walking his furry best friends Buck, Bear, Hunter or Legend, Milbrook was part of the fabric of Paul Paulson. Paul will forever be fondly remembered among his many Milbrook Tennis and Paddle companions as “Coach” for his friendly yet relentless drive to keep the matches fully attended and on schedule, and among his “GOB’s” Fairfield County tennis partners where Paul served as President from 2012-2016.

Paul is survived by his wife of 59 years Kathryn (Keeler) Paulson, his brother Andrew Paulson of Wilkes Barre, PA, his five children: Thomas Paulson, Mark Paulson, Kathryn Paulson O’Brien (son-in-law Michael), John Paulson (daughter-inlaw Stephanie) and Clifford Paulson (daughter in-law Terri) as well as twelve grandchildren: Cole and Scarlett Paulson, Kyleigh, Shayleigh and Declan O’Brien, Ella, Tate and Hudson Paulson, Carter, Elizabeth, Georgia, and Ford Paulson. We are so grateful for Paul the husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend. We will love and remember you always.

A private family service was held at Saint Catherine of Siena Church in Riverside, followed by a Navy Military Salute in his honor. The family plans to host a reception to celebrate Paul’s life at his beloved Milbrook

Uwe Walter Carroux, who was a resident of Greenwich for 38 years, died recently in Menlo Park, Calif. He was born June 1, 1924 and raised in Hamburg, Germany. During the early 1940s Uwe purchased a sophisticated radio to listen to the BBC, Radio Moscow and the Voice of America in order to better understand current events, as well as to listen to big band swing jazz, which he enjoyed dancing to with his girlfriend. A neighboring girl, jealous of their relationship, reported them to the Gestapo who put Uwe in prison.

His mother, Anneliese Carroux, negotiated his release with his commitment to join the Navy where he initially served on U-boats as a communications officer. His experience included deployment in a submarine which hit a mine during a return to base in France. While evacuating at a depth of several hundred feet he panicked and started to swim quickly to the surface, only to be restrained by another sailor who forced him to surface slowly to avoid ‘the bends,’ probably saving his life. Uwe also survived being shot at point blank range by a Russian soldier whose gun jammed.

After World War Two, seeking employment, Uwe moved to London where his French surname proved invaluable. That was where he met his soulmate and the love of his life, Aino Lukka from Finland.

Uwe and Aino married March 7, 1953 in Hamburg and then immigrated to the United States through New York’s Ellis Island. They were married 63 years, raising two sons, Charles and Thomas, who graduated from Greenwich public schools and Ivy League universities.

Uwe was a commercial banker. In New York, Uwe worked at Credit Suisse and the Irving Trust Company, and later at the international division of the Union Trust Company in Stamford.

Uwe enjoyed traveling, was an avid reader and usually was the last person to leave the dance floor. He was also an active member of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America, participating in time trials, road rallies and touring continental America.

During the gas shortages of 1979, he traded his 450 SEL for a turbo diesel and installed a custom, auxiliary fuel tank which enabled him to drive 1,200 miles before refueling.

Uwe demonstrated his character when Aino developed Alzheimer’s and he cared for her and loved her every single day. They would end each day by rubbing noses at bedtime, even when she didn’t always recognize him.

Uwe was predeceased by his wife and is survived by his two sons, ex-daughter-in-law Trisha Jenkins, daughter-in-law Roseann Wilcox Carroux, grandchildren Christopher and Courtney Carroux, and a half-brother, Hellmuth Carroux of Hamburg, Germany.

CANCER 22 June-23 July A Pisces New Moon indicates this will be a wonderful week.

It could be even more wonderful if you make a conscious effort to overcome your risk adversity. According to the planets some sort of gamble has a better than average chance of success.

CAPRICORN 22 Dec-20 Jan A New Moon in the most sociable angle of your chart urges you to put friends and family first and put work worries right out of your mind.

For best results don’t plan anything in advance: let your instincts guide you.

Better still, let loved ones lead the way.

LEO 24 July-23 Aug Be sure you know what is going on before getting involved in a moneymaking scheme as others will take advantage of you if they think they can. It is up to you to check facts and figures to make certain they add up. If you don’t the losses could be substantial.

AQUARIUS 21 Jan-19 Feb If you need to make financial sacrifices this is the time to get serious about it. Cosmic forces will help you to make choices that lessen the pain of giving up things you enjoy.

The more cuts you make now, the more profits you’ll make later in the year.
