Newest Section Of Norwalk River Valley Trail A Hit For Runners, Bikers Newest Section Of Norwalk River Valley Trail A Hit For Runners, Bikers
Newest Section Of Norwalk River Valley Trail A Hit For Runners, Bikers NORWALK, Conn. -- The newest section of the Norwalk River Valley Trail is already popular with bikers, runners and strollers. Not bad for a trail that isn’t even officially open yet.  The new section runs 0.6 miles from Sharp Hill Road (opposite Autumn Ridge Drive) down to Raymond Lane, where it joins the NRVT “demo” trail, which opened this spring. It meanders gently through hardwoods and stands of pine, passing wetlands and tumbledown stone walls.  At the Raymond Lane end is the cause of the delay in the official opening – a 30-foot bridge across an intermittent brook. Last week, the …

Seeing Again WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Joe Vellone is a football fan. The retired Baldwin Place roofing contractor loves to watch the New York Jets on television, but that has become more and more difficult in recent years. Vellone, 76, has had his vision severely impaired by macular degeneration. “It started about six or seven years ago and got progressively worse until I couldn’t see anything out of my left eye,” says Vellone, who with his wife, Ida, 75, has three daughters, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. “That eye was absolutely blind.” Macular degeneration is a leading cause of…

Pound Ridge Car Enthusiasts Flock To 12th Annual Tom Pisco Car Show POUND RIDGE, N.Y. -- It was once again a treat to stop in at the Town Park on Sunday to visit the 12th annual Tom Pisco Memorial Officer Car Show. This time I brought my wife and within a few minutes, even she was pointing out a few cars she imagined herself being behind the wheel. One that caught her attention was a 1950s era Buick Roadmaster Woodie.   This year, the weather turned out to be as perfect looking as the entries. The 1931 Ford I had my eyes on last year was now in the company of several more cars of the same era, including a 1932 Chevy Confederate which stood out with an impr…
