Stamford Downtown President Sandy Goldstein says the Pops Concert is designed to be a summer family experience.

The victim was walking on Woodward Avenue near the intersection of Meadow Street on his way to a restaurant last night around 8:40 PM, and heard a loud shot and then felt a sharp pain in his left side, said Norwalk Police Sgt. Andre Velez.

The victim was concious and alert when police arrived, and was transported to Norwalk Hospital. Police do not believe the shooting was gang-related or part of an attempted robbery, said Velez. The victim did not see the shooter, and police are investigating to determine if the shooter fired from a vehicle or somewhere else on the street, Velez said.

"The public nature of this could create uneasiness in the minds of the public, and we need to address that. If the officer acted properly, he needs to be exonerated. And if he acted improperly, we need to know that as well," said Cooney.

On Tuesday, Mayor Dan Malloy said it is important in situations like this not to prejudge, but that this is a matter that must be investigated.

Mayor Moccia was also happy that Norwalk's bond rating has been Triple A once more, proving the viability of the city.

Dr. Curtis says that Federal Appeals Court Judge and Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, voted against the fire fighters, in the original case, because she was following the precedent of the civil rights law. As a result of the high court overturning the original ruling favoring New Haven, Dr. Curtis thinks that this is a major step backward in the context of 400 years of descrimination against African Americans. He says that a positive aspect of the Supreme Court case is that the vote was very close and that four justices believe that the Civil Rights Act was the correct reference used in the original ruling. 

Despite years of postive change in America when it comes to race, Dr. Curtis feels that "We are not there yet" and that some people wrongly think that just because President Obama is in the White House, that race descrimination is no longer a major conern in the U.S.

His firm publishes Greenwich and Westport magazines among others that cater to Fairfield County residents. Mr. Moffley was sail boating Sunday near Tod's Point in Old Greenwich when he apparently fell overboard. He was able to stay afloat due to his life jacket and holding on to a rope connected to the craft. The Advocate reports a good samaritan, John Wilcox, who was kayaking nearby, spotted Moffley in trouble and directed the Greenwich Police to the scene. Moffley was quickly resuced by another Greenwich boater named Eugene Miller who dove in and pulled him into his boat.

Moffley was treated at Greenwich Hospital and released on Monday.  Lt. Mark Kordick of the Greenwich Police says this is a good example of the importance of wearing a life jacket "all the time."

Rell signed the bill at the Center for Children's Advocacy, a Hartford-based, nonprofit group for children that lost money because of the scheme.

Violino's award was based on her helping to promote a workplace program called the Career Coach; a vehicle that makes visits to public institutions; staffed by experts who help citizens find jobs at no charge. The Career Coach stops at Norwalk Library next on Monday, July 20th.

The decision was reportedly reached late Friday after consultation with both Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg as well as the Greenwich Police Commissioner.

Lieutenant Sean Cooney of the Stamford Police says that the officer in question had asked one of the owners of the club, Brenda Mazriegos, to move a vehicle out of the parking area behind the establishment. The lot had been closed for the duration of the concert for crowd control purposes. Cooney says the officer in his report, said the woman and two men with her became antagonistic and Mazriegos hit the officer in the face while being arrested for not having a drivers license.

According to witnesses, the officer had struck Mazriegos in the face sending her to Stamford Hospital where she was treated and released. Mazriegos is charged with assault on a police officer, lack of a drivers license and breach of peace.

The Democrats biannual budget is at least 37 billion dollars and adds new taxes as well as stated cuts of  3.5 billion dollars. Governor Rell, a Republican, has long accused the Democrats of not going far enough in budget cuts and relying instead on taxes. Rell has long felt that raising taxes for Connecticut citizens is a bad thing to do in the current recession.

Malloy also says that Childcare Learning Centers, a non profit pre-school, will also establish a location on the property by using unused modular classrooms now stored at Rippowam High School.

On top of that Malloy says a city community center could also be established. Leases should be submitted to the Planning Board, Board of Finance and the entire Board of Representatives by weeks end. .
