Police still waiting for ruling
Eight months have passed since promotion case went to Supreme Court
When the town sought an expedited appeal in the case of a Greenwich police officer who sued after he was not promoted to captain, many thought a speedy decision would soon follow, bringing closure to a case that has frozen the police department's ability to fill several key positions for nearly four years. Eight months later, they are still waiting for that decision from the Connecticut Supreme Court, a source of anxiety for a department that is significantly strained.

Drivers escape major injuries
Winter arrived Friday via the skies if not yet the calendar, with the season's first major snowstorm. Flakes began falling at 11 a.m., forming a white halo around shoppers and workers across town before covering cars, sidewalks and roads by 1 p.m.
The heaviest snow arrived mid-to-late afternoon, making it a busy one for Dan Warzoha, town emergency management operations director.
"There's 4 inches-plus of snow on the ground," said Warzoha.
The accident, which occurred around noon under the Indian Field Road bridge, resulted from one car sliding on the ice from Saturday's snow storm, and other vehicles subsequently colliding with it, said Sgt. Brent Reeves of the Greenwich Police Department.
Only minor injuries were reported and no extrication of individuals from vehicles was needed
