Richard Bergmann
|
Richard Bergmann, FAIA, whose career in architecture and landscape design left a profound mark on New Canaan, died in Venice, Florida, on July 4. The cause was heart failure, according to his wife Sandra Bergmann. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1935, Bergmann spent two years of his childhood in Erfurt, Germany, and remembered seeing—from a sandbox in a public park—German tanks heading to Poland in 1939. He attended the University of Wisconsin for one year before joining the U.S. Army. His service from 1954 to 1957 included the testing of guided missiles at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, as well as a return to Germany where he witnessed the rebuilding after the War.

Editor:
On behalf of the Family Fireworks Committee, I would like to thank all who supported the 43rd Annual New Canaan Family Fireworks Celebration at Waveny Park by purchasing an entrance pass and attending this Independence Day celebration.
The fireworks show was spectacular. It was another memorable celebration….an outstanding evening of family fun, wonderful music, great food and a fantastic fireworks display. Your financial support makes this great New Canaan tradition possible; whether you drove in or walked in, thank you for buying an entrance pass.
We offer a big thank you to the New Canaan Family Fireworks volunteer Committee (George Benington, Jordan Cerbone, Scott Cluett, Chris Cody, Sven Englund, Wendy Dixon Fog, Win Goodrich, Sue Holland, John Howe, Suzanne Jonker, Russ Kimes, Tucker Murphy, Andrew Walsh, Maria Weingarten, and Pat Wood) as well as all of the following; the show could not have gone on without their endless energy, hard work and commitment:
Police Department
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Fire Department and Fire Marshal
Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
Town Band and Mind the Gap Band
Parking, Parks, Public Works, Recreation and Information Technology Departments
The Exchange Club of New Canaan
Master of Ceremonies Dan Taylor
Our special benefactors
The fourteen gourmet food trucks
The volunteers who worked from early morning, to very late at night, to set up and take down all of the necessary infrastructure and equipment.
A special thank you to Walter Stewart’s Market for selling entrance passes and to the local print and on-line papers for getting the word out about the event.
As usual, the Police and CERT volunteers did a wonderful job handling the traffic flow; the park was nearly empty about 30 minutes after the fireworks ended.
And I offer special kudos, as always, to our Recreation Staff, led by John Howe, (Zack Philippas, Steve Dayton, Butch Landon, Bea Watkins, and Deborah DiMuzio) and the Parks Department led by Todd Deklyn and Ryan Restivo for their tireless efforts in creating a quintessential Independence Day celebration.
Please send any comments, thoughts and suggestions for next year to me at Town Hall.
Tom Stadler, Chairman – New Canaan Family Fireworks

We learned that David Rivera, a former New Canaan police officer was sentenced on Monday in Waterbury Superior Court. He was charged with the death of numerous dogs at this Black Rock Canine training facility in Naugatuck. Why should New Canaanites care about this? Rivera only received three years of jail time for abusing and killing 10 dogs.
