Tell us a little about yourself:

I am the oldest of five children and I was born in Smithtown, New York. I make jewelery and I am going to try to start my own jewelery business. I am an avid ; people look in my car and all they can see is plastic bottles. I am going to Africa on August 26 to study Drumming and Culture.

How long have you lived in Wilton?

I moved here when I was five with my four siblings, so I've been here for fifteen years.

What is your favorite aspect of Wilton?

I like the community. Half of the people in this town know me and my family It's much nicer than a bigger area. It's comforting and I think people take it for granted and don't realize it until they leave. The education program here is great also. Thehere are incredible. I couldn't have gotten this type of education at a private school. I also like that we only have four traffic lights.

What keeps you here?

My family definitely keeps me around. I like being involved with my brothers' sports. My job also brought me back here after the semester ended.

What do you do for fun?

I like to go to my brothers' sports games. I have three brothers and they play football and lacrosse. I like working at , I actually really love my job. It's also so scenic in Wilton and I love going for drives around here more than anywhere else.

Are you part of any clubs or organization?

Well, I do a lot, but I actually want to start a hula-hooping club. It's one of my favorite hobbies.

Bill I have some possible good news for you. After reading this, I stopped by the Village Market onRead More my way home from a slow, rainy day in the Center in hopes of picking up some kumquats for Filbert. They are out. So it sounds like some of our fellow Wiltonians are laying kumquats around town. I just hope the rain has not scared Filbert. Best to you and your family. I shall pray for you in Church this weekend.

You miss the DAZE of George W?, failing banks, auto industry going under, record high homeRead More forclosures and unemployment, etc etc. Obama is getting it right! BOSTON (Reuters) - The average 401(k) retirement balance for U.S. workers hit a record high of $80,900 in the first quarter, a growth spurt of 75 percent since the stock market's nadir in March 2009, Fidelity Investments said on Thursday based on a survey of its accounts. Most of the recovery is linked to a stock market rally that has lifted the broad S&P 500 Index 145 percent since the close of trading on March 9, 2009. The 401(k) recovery looks even better for workers 55 and older, according to Boston-based Fidelity, the largest U.S. administrator of 401(k) retirement plans. Those pre-retirement workers have seen their average balance nearly double to $255,000 since the first quarter of 2009 when the average balance was $130,700. The analysis covers people who have been with their current employer 10 or more years, Fidelity said.

British soldier was hacked to death with a machete. The soldier is not allowed to have a gun but theRead More terrorists had a firearm but chose to behead the soldier. The suspects spoke to camera after attack. “We swear by Almighty Allah, we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. The only reasons we killed this man is because Muslims are dying daily. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We apologize that woman had to see this today, but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you.”

Israel knows who their enemy is and are not afraid to call them out. After 4 Americans were killedRead More by terrorists in Benghazi, when violence in the Middle East was raging, President Obama in partnership with Hillary Clinton spent $70,000 in taxpayer money on a commercial that aired on Pakistani television apologizing for the "video." We are sorry. We are going to get the man who made the video who exercised freedom of speech and arrest him. Any terrorist suspects questioned yet?
