black rock: Latest Plans for Ellsworth Field
- 12/08/09 01:01 PM
The Parks Commission met this evening at the North End Library, but they didn't have a quorum so were unable to vote on the plans, but since so many people attended they decided to use the time to provide a public forum on the Ellsworth Field plans. Eleven people spoke during the public portion, some were in favor of the plans and others had concerns. The new restroom/concession/storage building is smaller in size and L-shaped. There will be lighting under the eaves of the building, but the lighting in the rest of the park has been eliminated. The splash park is still in the plans, but … (1 comments)

black rock: Ho Ho Hope Fundraiser at The Field
- 12/08/09 03:37 AM
Ignorance truly is bliss, but sometimes the facts come searching for you. This is what the Guarneri family found when their father, Carl, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer four months ago. And those facts were devastating.
According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, an estimated 76% of patients will die within one year of diagnosis. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and carries the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. But, even more startling, is the lack of awareness and funding for the disease. Only 2% of the National Cancer Institute's budget … (2 comments)

black rock: Update on Black Rock Train Station
- 12/04/09 01:42 PM
According to an article in the Fairfield Minuteman on 10/29/09 the Black Rock Train Station is now scheduled for completion in late 2010 or 2011. The state has moved ahead in constructing the station, the platforms, bridge network (which is 60-70 percent complete) and handicap access ramps and elevators. The access road is the main obstacle now as the developer still owns the land and TD Bank is foreclosing on the property. The State, TD Bank, and Blackrock Realty are in discussions to resolve this issue so that the road can be built. The Town of Fairfield is not part of those discussions. First Selectman Ken stated that the town … (0 comments)
