Darien Man Sends 21 Tons of Toys to Guatemala For some people, spring cleaning means throwing out their old junk. For Darien resident Don Livingston, founder of Computers for Hope, it means loading 21 tons of toys, tools and vitamins and shipping them to children in Guatemala. "It's kind of neat. Almost all of this stuff came from the dump [transfer station] right across the street," Livingston said as he and movers cleared out their temporary headquarters on the Post Road.  The building is slated for demolition to make way for offices and apartments. The toys, all of which are in excellent condition, came from the transfer station. Th…

Caterer Brings New York Flair to Darien Caterer Brings New York Flair to Darien Caterer Brings New York Flair to Darien
Caterer Brings New York Flair to Darien Rebecca Martin travels from Darien to New York City at least once a week, trying out different restaurants and learning about the newest food trends. Then she takes what she learned back to Darien, where she recently opened Becca Innovative Catering. "Our foods and service that we offer are very edgy," Martin said. Her business adapts its style to a wide range of events. "If we're catering a high-end event, our service is more like that of the Pierre Hotel. We have models in three-piece suits serving. If we're at a casual event, our servers are more hip and cool and not wearing tuxedos with …

Darien Kids Dislike Teachers as Facebook Friends Darien Kids Dislike Teachers as Facebook Friends Darien Kids Dislike Teachers as Facebook Friends
Darien Kids Dislike Teachers as Facebook Friends Melanie Tzenova friended one of her journalism teachers on Facebook after she left for a position in another school district but the Darien High School junior says she wouldn't friend one of her current teachers. "It's awkward. I don't want them to see my personal information," she said. Tzenova knows teens who have friended their teachers, but she wants to keep her school life separate from her personal life. Many other students feel the same way. "It's a social network, and I don't really want to be socializing with my teachers," said Phoebe Cush, a sophomore. Like Tzenova, Cush also frie…

Darien Teens Struggle Over Killing of Bin Laden Darien Teens Struggle Over Killing of Bin Laden Darien Teens Struggle Over Killing of Bin Laden
Darien Teens Struggle Over Killing of Bin Laden The significance of the death of Osama bin Laden is a tough concept for Darien teens like Gabby and Enzo Acquavina to grasp. Because they were so young on Sept. 11, they don't feel, as many Americans do, that a great enemy has been vanquished. "It feels almost backwards, celebrating someone's death. I feel it's almost like when people were celebrating when our people died," Gabby said. The two were living on the Upper East Side when the World Trade Center was attacked. Gabby, who was in fourth grade, can remember kids being taken out of school, an announcement being made and teachers talk…
