Wonderful article Heather - I know Kacky and her family but not well, and had heard of Lyla's battle…Read More . . . so glad to know more about it and to have the opportunity to share in the love and support of this beautiful girl. And now I have inspiration to get my butt out of bed to run at the Get Smart for Wilton 5K May 26!

Billy,
How embarrassed -- there is no other word that can be used -- should an organization that…Read More purports itself to be a "news organization" be of themselves that they are using the work of high school students to report a story as news. It basically shows that The Patch's standard of what it considers quality news is akin to the work a highschooler can produce. Actually, I take that back. The Patch made errors on the work the highschooler produced, so I guess their standards are even lower!

You know, Mort, maybe if we started paying our journalists livable wages they'd actually be able to…Read More pursue the truth. The fact that we don't is a reflection that our society doesn't want to know "the truth" but, rather, would prefer to be able to get away with all the corners they're cutting professionally and personally behind closed doors.
Piggybacking on high schoolers work is just more of the same- an organization cutting corners and not putting in the work but hoping to get advertising dollars out of it.

Billy,
It's a sad state of affairs when "journalists" are piggybacking on the local…Read More students' work in the high school newspaper. I remember when journalists used to yearn for the truth. Water flowed from mountain peaks like spittle down a cherub's fair cheek.
Those days are gone, and instead, we are polluted with this absolute insulting garbage. And they can't even copy a high schooler's work without an error!
Though I do think you're right -- fair Wiltonians could use another news source. With Patch, Hamlet Hub, the Daily Voice, the Bulletin and the Villager, it's amazing that none of these bastions of blasphemy can paint an accurate picture of this fair town.

In the end, we will not be remembered for WHAT we did, but instead, for HOW we did it.

Any time one athlete is afforded something that his competition does not have access to the playing…Read More field is no longer level and "may the best man win" no longer applies.
At this point you can call it whatever you like.
If your kid at age 8 has a private hitting coach he or she is not the better hitter...just the richer one, and by the time they get to high school level you'll see that beacuse talent always eventually wins out.---as long as one one is continuing to cheat.

So, if you are an athlete who supports gay marriage you're a "hero"? What a joke.

Great story about two wonderful young men! I am sure both families are very proud of them!

Michael is what we hope our kids turn out to be, a kind, caring, thoughtful person. Congratualtions…Read More to Michael and his family for doing something special and meaningful for Joe who will have a very special moment.

This is an outstanding story about two role models... two strong role models in their own right.…Read More More kids like this please! Awesome.
