Why is cigar/cigarette smoking permitted during the July 4th Family Fourth event at Waveny? Second-hand smoke is a health hazard to the many children at this wonderful event. Moreover, it disrupts the festive atmosphere for the overwhelming majority of attendees who are non-smokers. I asked this question to the Family Fourth committee and town officials. Unfortunately, the answers were either

Governor Rell heard the overwhelming negative response regarding shutting down the New Canaan train line and issued the following press release:“I can understand the confusion and questions that people have so let me be quite clear: I do not and will not support cuts to the Metro-North branch lines – Danbury, Waterbury or New Canaan. In fact, no one has made more of a commitment to commuter rail

Most of you probably already know of Scotts Corners. However, if you don't.... this is the shopping "safety value" of northern New Canaan.Why is it a safety value?

My friend (and fellow New Canaanite) Buzz has launched a new forum focused on New Canaan. It is called MyNewCanaanForum.com.According to Buzz, this forum is "part electronic bulletin board, part on-line social networking, and part gossip rag" and is a "good way to stay current on what's happening in an around NC, a way to stay in touch with neighbors, events, news, politics and more."I hope you

Before my family & I left on vacation for two weeks, I sent an email to the New Canaan Public Works Dept. about fixing a pothole in our street that was starting to eat my driveway. I didn't expect much as some New Canaan departments are pretty unresponsive to emails.Nevertheless, when we got back, the pothole had been filled & our driveway repaired. No email response but just great service! Two

There has been a rash of robberies in New Canaan recently. Defeat criminals by hiding your valuables in safes that look like soup cans, shaving cream cans, etc. While criminals are looking for a traditional safe, they will ignore the valuables (i.e. cash & jewelry) hidden in "regular" household products. Check out these safes which look like household products.Will

In my opinion, one of the best New Canaan Family Fourths in recent years. The fireworks were great & the weather was perfect.Police did a better job this year to slow down the mad rush to exit the park at the end of the fireworks. Perhaps the town finally saw our poll where readers stated that the mad scramble was their biggest concern with the festivities.My only new suggestion would be to ban

First off, I want to say that my family loves the New Canaan Farmer's Market. My wife stops by most weekends to find locally grown vegetables and to pick up some delicious pies.Our only concern is that the Farmer's Market has become too popular. The parking lot at the Farmer's Market is overflowing. People are parking on many of the side streets and weekend traffic is becoming very congested in

As I have to wait for the train every day, I thought that I would list some essential train gear to take with you on your trips into New York (or anywhere else):• Coffee – To help you wake up in the morning, the best coffee spots in New Canaan include Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and JP’s Country Cupboard. Or you can shop online at Starbucks for coffee to be delivered to your home or for Starbucks

This year's New Canaan Fair and Sidewalk Sale will be held on Saturday July 19th from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (rain or shine). This is where New Canaan's merchants hold a massive outdoor sale & party. Lots to things to browse, great bargains, food to eat and activities for the kids (i.e. clowns and balloons). So if you are bored next weekend, you should definitely stop by the center of town for this

Here are a few of my observations from this year’s Family Fourth:1. The rain and potential cancellation of the event kept many people away. I would guess that only 60-70% of the normal crowd showed up. 2. The town website needs to display a message that the event is still ON – versus their standard practice of posting when the event has been postponed. Given the drizzle & threat of thunderstorms,

Since I haven’t seen any cancellation notice, we are off to the Family Fourth festivities. Wish us luck – hopefully no thunderstorms will disrupt the fireworks. However, we are bringing rain jackets & umbrellas - just in case!Will

Here is a map of New Canaan's local parks such as Kiwanis and Waverny. I have also added some of the key highlights from each park (i.e. the "beach" at Kiwanis) - click on the blue markers to read about some of the fun things to do at each park. If you can think of any other parks in town that I have missed, please leave me a message in the commentary section & I will add them to the map.View

This week, President Bush went hat in hand to beg OPEC to pump more oil in order to help the US economy. For more details, please read this NY Times article. It also has a revealing photo of the Saudi King and President Bush examining one of the rewards of high energy prices, the King's latest prize thoroughbred.You can imagine the scene...

My boys want to sue the weather forecasters. They were so disappointed that they did not get a day off from school. Instead of the promised 5-8 inches of snow, New Canaan got an anemic 1/2 inch (at best).The boys are studying their legal options. More later. :)Will

Today is a beautiful mild day (for January). However, be warned, current weather forecasts are saying that there is the possibility of "significant snow accumulation" on Sunday night and into Monday. Let's hope that the weathermen are wrong (like usual).Keep up-to-date with New Canaan's potential snow storm on our weather page.Will

Since a plane just flew over my house (and most of New Canaan) and was only a few hundred feet above the town, it made a tremendous racket. Cursing, I went to find out how the lawsuit is going against the massive increase in aircraft traffic over New Canaan & Fairfield County.Unfortunately not much "new" news beyond the lawsuit against the FAA but you should definitely visit the region's Alliance

Following up on my educational endowment post and top high schools post, let's see where New Canaan kids are going to college. The New Canaan High School College & Career Center lists the 2004 results (latest data that I could find online).Only 10 attended an Ivy League school out of the 234 listed (if I counted correctly) or 4% percent. Given the strength of our community and the wealth &

Looking for some New Year's resolutions to help yourself, America and the world? Want to help stop global warming and/or reduce our dependence on foreign oil (which is indirectly funding terrorism)? If so, New Canaan residents can take some of the following simple steps:1. Replace the standard light bulbs in your house with compact fluorescents or LED light bulbs. This is probably the easiest &

One of my visitors stated the following about the inability for New Canaan to make the top 100 high schools in the US News & World Report rankings:Will, this makes sense after looking at the criteria for the ranking. One of the factors, is the percentage of economically disdavantaged kids who surpass state averages on standardized tests. Since NC doesn't have an "economically disadvantaged"

Every holiday season, New Canaan gets inundated with junk mail. Since we are a wealthy community, every company on the planet sends us their catalogs. Unfortunately, 99% of the time, we just dump this useless junk back into the recycling bin.Beyond breaking the back of the mailman, this flood of catalogs contributes to global warming and the use of imported oil. We have to cut down trees for the

Another modest winter storm is expected to hit New Canaan tonight. See our weather page for more details.Looks like everyone is stocking up for the storm. I was over at Weed & Duryea picking up some salt to put on the driveway and the store was swamped. People were buying snow shovels by the dozen. The town's supermarkets were also packed.

In case, you didn't read my previous blog post regarding the US News & World Report article on the country's best high schools, I have listed below the area schools that placed above New Canaan (we were ranked in the second class "Silver Level").Come on!
