GREENWICH TIME: Greenwich's growing Asian-American population 'attracted by the opportunity as well as the openness'
GREENWICH — The Asian population, ranked as the third largest group in town, surged by 18 percent over the last decade in Greenwich, with the most population growth recorded in three neighborhoods, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Census.
“My first thought is that I am happy that Greenwich is becoming more diverse,” said Christine Kim, a Chinese-American woman who lives in Cos Cob. “Our country is becoming more diverse racially, and in other ways, so it’s reasonable that Greenwich follows suit.”
Kim, who moved to town in 1999, said she has made lifelong friends in Greenwich and reaped the benefits of living in an affluent town with access to stellar parks, a beach, libraries, a museum and more.
Several local residents and politicians who identify as Asian American discussed the census data in recent interviews and cited other reasons for the population growth. The town’s top-notch schools, its close its proximity to New York City....

GREENWICH TIME: Greenwich Boys & Girls Club settles sexual abuse lawsuits brought by six men
GREENWICH — The Greenwich Boys & Girls Club has paid an undisclosed settlement to six men claiming childhood sexual abuse at the club in three separate lawsuits, court documents show.
A Superior Court judge in Stamford had set damages at $4.5 million during a prejudicial remedy hearing, a prelude to a scheduled trial that was avoided by this settlement deal. An attorney for the six victims had sought damages of $19 million to be split between the men, who are all now in their 50s.
Court documents do not disclose the final settlement amount, but it is meant to cover physical and mental injuries as well as potential loss of earnings. A non-disclosure agreement is in place, according to the attorney for the victims, so no party can discuss the settlement.
The six men claim to have been abused by Andrew Atkinson between 1975 and 1984 in various locations at the club and off-site, starting when some of them were as young as 6. A teen at the time, Atkinson was then a locker room supervisor. He has during a past interview denied abusing any children....
