NORWALK By STEVE KOBAK Hour Staff Writer Two Norwalk Police officers who investigated a former autism therapist accused of swindling tens of thousands of dollars from Norwalk schools were given an award from federal law enforcement authorities Wednesday morning. The U.S. Department of Education's Office of the Inspector General awarded plaques to Sgt. Art Weisgerber and Detective David Orr for their work on developing the criminal case against Stacy Lore, who is currently awaiting trial on fraud charges. "I can't tell you how proud I am of the hard work that our detectives do day in and day out," said Police Chief Harry Rilling. "It's nice to see them get recognition." State Sen. Bob Duff, D-25, and Mayor Richard A. Moccia joined many high-ranking members of the Norwalk Police Department to congratulate Orr and Weisgerber. "The damage that this person has done goes beyond financial loss," Moccia said. The award is not given out frequently and is typically awarded to prosecutors, according to Special Agent in Charge Brian Hickey of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of the Inspector General.

NORWALK By ROBERT KOCH Hour Staff Writer Fire Damage Repairs Pending City Historical commissioners on Wednesday night approved a proposal by the Norwalk Historical Society to use the old Smith Street jailhouse. "What we want to do is basically move the curatorial functions down to the jail, which would include the photograph collection, the scanning, the imaging, collection storage, all of that," said David G. Westmoreland, NHS president. "We want to keep the educational and administrative space up in the office in the Town House (on Mill Hill)." A fire in late spring gutted the interior of the historic jailhouse, which dates back to the early 19th century and now belongs to the city. The blaze forced out two tenants living in second-floor apartments in the structure. Peter A. Bondi, Historical Commission vice chairman, gave an update on where the jailhouse stands following the fire. He said the roof must be removed and the rafters taken out, as a result of damage from the fire.
