1. Greenwich Police Announce Nor'easter Road Closure, Power Outage (greenwichfreepress.com) — Greenwich Police are warning residents about lingering impacts from a hybrid nor'easter, including a full closure near 403 Taconic Road, earlier coastal flooding in Old Greenwich, Riverside, and Sound Beach, and scattered power outages, especially in Banksville. Officials urge people to avoid flooded roads, stay clear of downed wires, and monitor town updates as heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding continue through the weekend.
2. Defending State, FCIAC Champion Cardinals Varsity Girls Volleyball Tops FCIAC Rival Fairfield Warde, 3-0 (greenwichsentinel.com) — Greenwich High School's girls volleyball team has opened its title-defense season with a dominant 4-0 start, including a straight-sets home win over rival Fairfield Warde. Senior captains and returning standouts describe high expectations, strong team chemistry, and goals of repeating as FCIAC and state champions as they prepare for upcoming matches against Ridgefield and Joel Barlow.
3. Breast Cancer Alliance: Beyond The Cure (thepuristonline.com) — A Greenwich‑born nonprofit, Breast Cancer Alliance, has grown from a local kitchen‑table idea into a national force that's granted over $40 million for research, surgical training, and low‑ or no‑cost screenings. As it marks its 30th anniversary, the group is preparing a major luncheon and fashion show on October 22 while continuing to fund mobile mammography, oncology fellowships, and early‑stage research that can change breast cancer care.
4. GCDS Student Completes SoundWaters Research Intensive (greenwichfreepress.com) — A Greenwich Country Day School student, Grayson Eisenberg, spent the summer doing hands-on marine science research on Stamford Harbor and Long Island Sound through the SoundWaters Research Intensive. Working with peers from around the region, Eisenberg studied local marine ecosystems, collected and analyzed field data, and presented findings, gaining skills SoundWaters says are vital for future environmental leaders.
