Florida Primary Today

Filed under: News, Politics — Kim @ 9:45 am

Big day for the Republican candidates, not so much for the Dems. 

So the question is …how will Rudy do?  He’s been vacationing campaigning in Florida for months now.  Will it pay off?  I don’t think it will.  I think Rudy’s plan will backfire.  Who advised him to make this strategic move anyway? 

Moral of the story: Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, they’ll end up scrambled.

1:00 to 2:30 PM

The Find Jaliek Task Force will host a “Meet the Author” session with author, playwright and screenwriter, Stephen Gnojewski.  Mr. Gnojewski is an author, screenwriter and playwright of Documentary Theatre who is living in Jersey City, New Jersey and working in New York City.  He received an M.F.A. from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

The book he is writing, tentatively titled “An Inconvenient Child – A Story of the Life and Disappearance of Jaliek Rainwalker” will be co-written by Alex S. DeFazio, MFA.  Mr. DeFazio is also an author, playwright and screenwriter currently living in Jersey City, New Jersey and working in New York City.  He received a B.A. in English and Drama from SUNY Purchase and an M.F.A. in Playwriting from Columbia University.

 “This is a tale of a beautiful, intelligent and loving child; born to a drug-addicted mother on the floor of his grandmother’s kitchen; shuttled through a series of seven foster and adoptive homes; only to disappear at the young age of twelve in a mysterious case fraught with strange and inexplicable clues.”

The “Meet the Author” event will be held at the Greenwich VFW Hall on Abeel Avenue.  The authors would like to invite family members, friends, aquaintances and members of the community to send stories and anecdotes about their relationship and contacts with Jaliek over the past 12 years.  It is hoped that these stories will be included in the book.
