The election is over, and the Board of Selectmen meetings have begun—on shaky footing. The Board of Selectmen Office has three members: First Selectman Fred Camillo (R), who secured a decisive win in the November 2025 election; Lauren Rabin (R), who returned for a fourth term; and Rachel Khanna (D), a former State Representative who now holds the minority seat. Compared to her predecessor, Janet Stone McGuigan, Khanna has proven to be a much more combative presence—a shift th

The snow has stopped, but the Greenwich Snow Emergency remains in effect, keeping Town Hall and schools closed today. Here is why the "all clear" is taking longer than the storm itself: The Scale of the Task: The Greenwich Department of Public Works (DPW) is responsible for 265 miles of roadway—enough to stretch from Greenwich to Washington, D.C. While the 23 miles of main arteries are cleared first, the emergency isn't lifted until the remaining 211 miles of local roads a

Tiffine Kyte, 37, of Johnstown, PA, was charged last week for her role in a sophisticated multi-state vehicle theft ring. Using tech-driven cloning techniques, Kyte and her accomplices systematically stole high-end vehicles from dealerships across the Tri-State area. A Tri-State Operation. Since March 2024, the group has targeted 20 vehicles worth an estimated $2.4 million. The spree spanned New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut with confirmed hits in Old Saybrook, Glaston

The 8.65-acre campus of St. Paul's Episcopal Church at 200 Riverside Avenue stands as one of the final remaining undeveloped parcels of land in this corner of Greenwich. However, the future of this green space is currently at a crossroads. Struggling with financial challenges, the church recently determined that subdividing the campus into residential lots was its only viable path to solvency. The prospect of losing such a rare stretch of open space immediately sparked an o

Ten months after convening a second task force to study the replacement of the town-owned Dorothy Hamill Ice Rink, First Selectman Fred Camillo has his answer. The task force officially recommended building the new rink adjacent to the current 54-year-old facility in Eugene Morlot Memorial Park—a plan commonly known as "the flip." You can read the full report here. The slow road to consensus. The recommendation is essentially the same "flip" proposed by the Selectman two y

The sudden closure of the Arch Street Teen Center on December 31, 2025 has come as a surprise to many in Greenwich. Opened in 1991 at 100 Arch Street, the center occupied an historic horse barn in Roger Sherman Baldwin Park, right off Exit 3 of I-95. For decades, it stood as one of the longest running teen centers in America. The 34-year partnership between the non-profit and the town came to a sudden end with a lawsuit filed by the tenant claiming they were locked out with

A major environmental emergency last week shut down Farms Road—an important artery that connects Taconic Road in Greenwich with Riverbank Road in Stamford, not far from the Stanwich Club and Mianus River Park. What began as a report of a fallen tree has escalated into a massive, multi-day remediation effort after roughly 2,300 gallons of heating oil were released into the ground after a vehicle—which officials are investigating as a likely fuel delivery tanker—sustained a c

While we often feel insulated in Greenwich, the events of Monday, January 12, 2026, prove that criminal tactics are evolving to exploit our most basic habits. In North Stamford (on Dunn Avenue near High Ridge Road), the convenience of "Prime" living was used as a weapon in a terrifying home invasion. Calculated deception. At approximately 11:32 am, a suspect wearing a blue Amazon-style delivery vest knocked on the door, holding a package. He claimed it required a physical s

According to First Selectman Fred Camillo, some residents aren't happy about being ticketed by the town's new traffic cameras for exceeding the speed limit in Greenwich school zones. As of January 8, 2026, the trial period ended, meaning the entire town-wide system—spanning eight school zones and ten cameras—is now fully live. Real tickets are being issued at $50 for the first offense and $75 thereafter. Typically, a citation is triggered if you exceed the limit by 10 mph o

Greenwich police have arrested Jeremie Alexis, 27, following a harrowing knifepoint assault that allegedly took place this past November. The allegations are brutal: Alexis is accused of strangling and sexually assaulting a victim at knifepoint within Greenwich town limits. The investigation was a multi-town effort beginning after the victim fled to Norwalk to report the crime. Alexis was taken into custody on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, and faces a slate of some of the mos

The Greenwich Police Department just posted their police blotter for the month of December 2025. They received 2,997 calls for service during the month, one of the lowest months of calls of the year. Surprisingly, for the holiday season, the number of DUIs dropped to the lowest level of the year numbering only four, but the number of motor vehicle collisions were 204, the most of any month of the year. The number of stolen vehicles and residential thefts spiked to nine and s

Wondering why you are seeing so many people masking up at the grocery store again? The "Super Flu" has officially arrived, and it has hit Connecticut especially hard. Connecticut is experiencing one of the most aggressive starts to its flu season on record. In December 2025, cases in the state surged over 600% compared to the same time last year. The culprit is a specific variant which was identified as Influenza A (H3N2, Subclade K). Because this strain was identified a

If mail theft hasn't made you re-think using the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), here is another: you can no longer drop a time-sensitive document into the Big Blue Box and assume it will be postmarked that day. Effective December 24, 2025, a new USPS rule officially clarified that a postmark is technically defined as the time when a piece of mail is processed at a regional facility (e.g., Stamford), not when it is dropped into a collection box. To guarantee a legal postmark on

Marie Feniello, 65, a former Greenwich resident who lived on Bedford Road, is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on January 7, 2026. She faces multiple charges of animal cruelty and an additional charge of first-degree criminal trespass stemming from a separate incident in March 2025. The core of the case dates back to November 2024, when Greenwich Police visited Feniello's Bedford Road home. What they found was a scene of horrific neglect: two Black Labs, Augie

Henry J. White Jr., age 75, and his sister, Patricia A. White, age 69, have been held accountable for a decade-long scheme that defrauded 30 state treasuries throughout the U.S. Between 2013 and 2022, the duo filed false claims for unclaimed property by posing as authorized representatives of various corporate entities. The scheme was remarkably successful for a time, netting them $1.2 million in fraudulent checks. The logistics were bold. Henry White submitted signed certi

The story first leaked on December 18, 2025, in the Greenwich Democrat Town Committee newsletter here . The reconstituted Hamill Rink Task Force had come to a decision. The task force unanimously recommended a "modified flip" for the new rink. Wait — isn't this the same flip recommended by Selectman Camillo two years ago and the same flip that was rejected by the town legislative body (RTM) back in January 2025? The newsletter was written with a fawning display of praise fo

At the December 11, 2025, Board of Education (BOE) meeting, Greenwich Police Chief James Heavey delivered two startling updates. While the town's new speed cameras have been remarkably successful in curbing reckless driving, they also caught an unexpected group of offenders: our own yellow school buses. Video from the BOE meeting is available here . A 90%+ drop in speeding. The cameras, currently active at eight schools in nine school zones, are already showing their effic

Isaiah 9:2, 6: " The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called: Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." Between the Lines : Hallelujah!

The Night Trump Saved Christmas While undeniably biased in favor of the Trump Administration, this video entitled "The Night Trump Saved Christmas" is a marvel, showcasing the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI). From deepfake technology to advanced animation, it represents a fascinating (and perhaps unsettling) glimpse into the future of digital content creation. It's a testament to how far AI has come in crafting narratives and visuals that can be both entertain

CBS News NY has picked up on local reporting regarding the deteriorating parking issues with Greenwich school buses (video here ) . What was intended as a temporary fix has devolved into a multi-month quagmire. The buses are currently parked on muddy fields at Western Middle School until a permanent location can be found. The bus drivers are complaining about a lack of basic infrastructure. There are no break rooms, no proper bathrooms, and no field lighting. Beyond the l
