Bridge inspections will close lanes on Interstate 95 in Greenwich and Norwalk on some days in the upcoming week, the state Department of Transportation has announced. Here’s where:

In Greenwich on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the righthand lane on the northbound side of the highway will be closed between the New York state line and Exit 2, first overnight then during the day. The lane will be closed overnight, sometime between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Sunday and Monday, and between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday. In Norwalk, alternating right and left lane closures will take place on I-95 for both northbound and southbound traffic between Exits 13 and 14 at times from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 21 to 23.

Jeffrey Rinehart Dobbs, 53, passed away on May 4 in Madison. He was born on Oct. 17,1964, Bill and Anne Dobbs’ third of four children. Jeff made an immediate impression on the world with his bright eyes and perfectly symmetrical chubby cheeks. Growing up in Darien, he was entrenched in a tight group of close friends that had a knack for mischief.

Scammers need a good story to get to your wallet. Once they find one that works, they use it again and again. One of their old favorites brings together fake checks and secret shopping, and we’ve been hearing a lot about it lately. Here’s how it starts. You get a check in the mail with a job offer as a secret shopper.

Every adolescent must navigate the transition to adulthood by continuing their education or starting on a career path. Ability Beyond, an area nonprofit based in Bethel, wants to ensure that young adults with disabilities have the specific tools they need to take that next crucial step. The newly-launched online Transition Resource Center is a convenient place for parents to learn how to maximize their child’s independence now and plan for a future that is secure and full of opportunity. “Previously, all of this information could only be accessed in multiple locations after a lot of research,” explained Jane Davis, President and CEO of Ability Beyond. “We have truly established a comprehensive one-stop-shop for families.

If you have an idea about starting a business but don’t know where to start, or if your new business is struggling to grow, this free, five-part workshop series on five Tuesday nights, starting May 22, will provide a solid foundation for your business to grow and thrive. — an announcement from Darien Library

This workshop series, conducted by a team of professionals from the SCORE Fairfield County Chapter, will give you the boost to get you on your way! The series is presented Tuesday nights from May 22 to June 19, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Conference Room at Darien Library. Check-in starts at 5:30 p.m. Please check your schedule to ensure you can attend all the listed sessions. Register here.

Acabella was founded in 2001 by two friends who had recently moved to Darien and were eager to sing a cappella music, as they had done in college. The group was named Acabella, which combines the musical term, a cappella, which means unaccompanied by musical instruments, and bella, the Italian word for beautiful. — an announcement from Darien Library

The group is currently directed by Heather Raker, one of its founders, and Carolyn Woodberry, who has been singing with the group since its inception.

Acabella presently comprises 11 women from the Lower Fairfield County area. Membership in the group is by audition, including musical exercises and a solo performance.

Dr. Patricia Otis Cook, 74, of Darien, passed away peacefully on May 15, following complications of pancreatic cancer. Dr. Cook was an exceedingly well-regarded clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist who served the community over an astounding 43 years of practice at her offices in Darien and Bridgeport. She was a brilliant, loving mother and beloved grandmother.

Patricia was born in Syracuse, N.Y. to Charles Robert Otis Jr. and Helen McNeill Otis. A star student, she was valedictorian of her high school and a dazzling pianist. She attended Radcliffe; graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1965 with a B.A. in social relations, then in 1967 received her M.Ed.

Two Darien restaurants each received a “C” rating, the worst in the town A-B-C ratings system, in in the nine most recently released town Health Department inspection reports, including three schools. Four establishments were rated “A,” and two more were rated “B.” The reports, all released Thursday, were based on inspectors’ visits from May 9 to 16. Most Recent Inspection Results

Here’s an alphabetical list of the most recently released health inspection results (an explanation for each part of the list, including links, is just below the list).
