It was "Chocoholic Frolic" time when Shakespeare Club members met Feb. 12 at the Gerken Center. Jim Busek presided over the business meeting and then called upon Jane Kluding, director of the center, who had arranged for the meeting place as well as for the evening's speaker. Kluding welcomed everyone and spoke briefly about the center, named after its generous benefactor, Elizabeth Gerken. This vital center serves more than 100 children of this community and answers many needs in providing not only a day-care center but helps also with the Head Start program, Norwalk pre-school and early intervention for others who need specialized attention in helping them over the rough spots developmentally.

I have decided I am going to start a petition drive in Norwalk to have Linwood Avenue from Main Street to Seminary Street closed permanently. This way, when the Gravelle woes have left us and the out of town media do not need this area for privileged parking we can offer this area as a parking place for the people who actually support business in Uptown Norwalk. It is highly aggravating trying to get around town because of the latest snow storm and to have the city close off a main artery in the main business district is just plain crazy.

Let's see a show of hands. Who's tired of this snow? Count me in. As I sit here looking out the window of the Reflector, half of my view is cut off by a big pile of snow. But we all know this won't last forever. Heck, Spring Training officially kicked off today for the Indians, so good weather can't be too far away. Read the rest of this story in Today's Reflector...

Progress or property owner's rights? That is the question some cities across the state and country have been weighing recently when leaders have considered invoking eminent domain. A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision allowed governments to invoke eminent domain to take homeowner's property and then sell it to another company for economic development in areas deemed "blighted."

One of the central paradoxes of life is you have to know when to listen and when not to. I have a little management experience from my previous career as a filmmaker. As a manager, I met with mixed success, but I believe this particular problem is the central paradox of management.

Toast Jeffrey M. Murray, the Norwalk native and Sharon Township Firefighter, who died Tuesday when responding to a call during extreme, adverse weather conditions. Murray, 40, was described as having "the most positive attitude that you could have." We truly respect those first responders who willingly risk their lives every day to protect and serve their communities. Our deepest condolences to all who knew Murray. Roast the media's coverage of Anna Nicole Smith. Even as the general public says it is tired of the story and incessant coverage, the media continues to shove it down people's throats. Many, especially in the media, are concerned about recent polls indicating young people have an unhealthy fascination with being rich and famous we in the media need to look in the mirror and admit our own sense of responsibility for helping to perpetuate such a culture.
