Rally at Town Hall August 29th
Environmental Group to hold concert

The New Canaan Environmental Group is hosting an end-of-summer
concert and "clear skies" and "clean energy" rally on the steps of Town
Hall, 77 Main Street, at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday August 29th.

Michael Greenberg, a budding singer-songwriter, guitarist and
performing artist from East Haven, Connecticut will be making his second
appearance in New Canaan. Michael Greenberg previously performed at the New
Canaan Library at the Step It Up rally.

More information on Mr. Greenberg can be found at www.michaelgreenbergmusic.com.

Joining him on the steps of Town Hall will be two speakers.

Michael G. Kroposki of Ridgefield will alert the public as to the
inadequacies of the FAA Airspace Redesign Final EIS, with regard to noise,
safety and air quality impacts of the proposed increased flights over
New Canaan and neighboring communities. Mr. Kroposki is a graduate of
Brooklyn Law School and holds an advanced degree (LLM) from New York
University. He is a retired patent attorney.

?It has come to the attention of the Environmental Group that the FAA
has released its Airspace Redesign Final Environmental Impact Statement
without a venue for public comment with legal standing even though
substantive new material and revisions to the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement appear in the Final EIS. The FAA?s release of the Final EIS of
the Airspace Redesign without public comment appears to contravene the
intent of National Environmental Policy Act to encourage public
comment on the impacts of proposed projects. Furthermore, this action breaks
previous precedent set by the FAA when it held public hearings after
the completion of the Juneau, Alaska Final EIS. It is important to
bring these matters to light so that the public may pressure Federal and
State elected officials to open this process again. That way the public
can properly vet the adverse impacts that airspace redesign has on New
Canaan and lower Fairfield County,? said Richard Stowe, president of the
New Canaan Environmental Group

Bob Wall, of Fairfield, will speak about Clean Energy in Connecticut
and New Canaan. He will explain the "20 percent by 2010 campaign" and the
benefits New Canaan will accrue by joining that campaign. Neighboring
communities that have signed onto the campaign include Westport,
Weston, Stamford, Fairfield, and Ridgefield.
