Two Charged in Richmond Hill Domestic Incident

By |

Police arrested a New Canaan woman, 43, and Alna, Maine man, 45, following a domestic incident on Richmond Hill Road last week. At about 12:46 a.m. on May 12 (a Tuesday), officers were dispatched to a home on Richmond Hill Road on a report by the victim that an individual would not leave the house, police said. Following an investigation, authorities charged the man and woman with the misdemeanor offense, according to a police report. They both promised to appear the same day in state Superior Court. Police withheld details of the conflict, saying it’s a domestic matter. 

Under state law, people are guilty of disorderly conduct if they “with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk … [e]ngages in … threatening behavior; or … annoys or interferes with another person,” among other reasons.

‘It’s Going To Hurt Merchants’: Parking Commission Pushes Back on Elimination of 15-Minute Spots on Elm Street

By |

Members of the appointed body that oversees New Canaan’s parking department this month pushed back on part of a larger plan that will see the one-way stretch of Elm Street converted to paid spots. Specifically, members of the Parking Commission during their May 7 meeting objected to plans to eliminate—rather than increase—the number of free 15-minute parking spaces on Elm Street while the town converts those free spots to paid. “If we are not interested in revenue, what is the argument against short-term parking?” Commissioner Katie O’Neill said during the regular meeting, held at Town Hall and via videoconference. “Because as I see it, we are adding a surcharge on coffee shops, on sandwich shops. All the sudden now if you are picking up a $15 sandwich it’s going to be $15.50 or whatever.

New Canaan Resident’s ‘Mayflower Home Organizing’ Marks One Year in Business

By |

The process of home organization is considered a chore by many, but for Stephanie Radman, it has become a nationwide business. A serial entrepreneur, Radman is no stranger to running a business, but Mayflower Home Organizing may be her most successful venture to date. Formerly known to New Canaan residents as the Town Greeter, and prior to that, founder of The Sweet Baker, Radman says it was during her time as Town Greeter that she was inspired to start her organization business. 

“A lot of my newcomers were telling me, ‘Stephanie, I have two young children, the dog’s barking, the baby’s crying, boxes are up to the ceiling,’ in their homes in New Canaan, and they would ask me, ‘Do you have someone who could help me get organized?’ ” Radman told the New Canaanite. “I thought this is something I could definitely do. I’m a very meticulous person myself, and it just really happened organically.
