To those visitors who hadn't called in advance or checked the web site, the big "Open" flag in front of the Military Museum of Southern New England on Sunday was a welcome sight.
It will stay there, at least until December, said Samuel Johnson, the museum's executive director.
Members of the board of directors, still stunned by the sudden death of the facility's founder and primary benefactor, John Valluzzo, voted Friday to keep the Park Avenue museum open for business through the end of this season, Johnson said.
The hours, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, will remain unchanged.
After looking over the books, board members realized that admission fees would provide sufficient revenue "to keep the lights on," Johnson said.
What will happen afterward to the museum, home to the largest private collection of military vehicles and tanks in the Northeast, as well displays and artifacts from every major United States conflict from World War I to the present, has yet to be determined.
The museum closed for two weeks after the death of the 75-year-old Valluzzo just before Memorial Day. Valluzzo was shot to death after he failed to drop his gun when ordered to do so by a Ridgefield police officer who responded to a domestic disturbance at Valluzzo's home on Ridgebury Road.
The shooting remains under investigation by Connecticut State Police.
"We just felt there was no reason not to reopen it," musuem board member Paul Mangiafico, of Newtown, said. "We're open for business. It's a great museum and it's in a great location. John put his heart and soul into it."
Jim Crossen, a former Marine from Wilton, was one of its visitors Sunday, along with his wife, Kerry, and their two sons, Caiden, 4 and Jack, 6.
"I always saw the signs and the tanks parked in front when I drove by, and I always wanted to check it out," Crossen said.
He said he checked the web site to make sure the museum was open before leaving home.
"The kids love the models," Kerry Crossen said, referring to the numerous, highly detailed dioramas featuring scale models of some of the full-size exhibits that are on display throughout the museum.
"That's what they play with at home," she said.
Johnson said the museum, which opened in 1995, attracts more than 8,000 visitors from April though December. It operates a reduced schedule, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the rest of the year.
Attendance always goes up during the monthly "open turret" days, when visitors, especially children, get the opportunity to step inside many of the armored vehicles. The next turret event is scheduled for June 29-30.
Between the admission fees and the stepped-up efforts of many of the museum's 50 active volunteers, "We'll see how long we can go," Johnson said.
In addition to financing, Valluzzo was closely involved in planning displays and other special projects.
Because of his death, an exhibit on atomic warfare, intended to coincide with the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II, had to be shelved, and the museum's long-term financial outlook is uncertain, Johnson said.
Historically, the museum has not been successful in obtaining grants, with the money received usually being offset by the costs of applying for them, Johnson said. The last state funding the museum received was in 1995, and that was just a portion of what was promised.
"We've filled the gap with sweat," he said, referring to the efforts of volunteers.
"What we really need is someone with a passion for military history or a philanthropist at heart," Johnson said. "This is the place, this is the time."

Champion XC rider targets NZ selection
National cross-country mountainbike champion Scott Barr is gearing up
for a long stretch of secondary schools competition on the bike.
The 15-year-old, year 12 Waimea College pupil will head into three upcoming events with confidence and form after recently claiming the under-17 New Zealand Cross Country Cup.
This weekend, along with other competitors from the Tasman secondary schools catchment area, Scott will head to Dunedin to defend his South Island secondary schools mountainbike title.
Early next month the Tasman secondary schools mountainbiking competition takes place on April 10 at Codgers MTB Park in Nelson. That will be followed closely by the New Zealand secondary schools mountainbiking individual champs in Hunua, Auckland, where Scott will be looking to repeat his success of 2012.
The NZ MTB Cup was a series event, with riders assigned points in each of three races, and their results are tallied to give an overall score.
In races held in July and February, Scott came first in the Bluff competition, first in Wellington and took second in Auckland. This was enough for an overall victory.
Attending the same races was Nayland College's Olivia Miller. The 16-year-old, year 12 student came third overall, while the senior rider in the Nelson group, Tim Miller, finished in first place overall (Master 3).
At the one-off New Zealand Championship event held in Rotorua, Scott finished second and Olivia fourth. With regard to his recent success, Scott said he had been lucky in his young career to have other talented Kiwis of his generation on hand.
"I've been for a few casual rides with Anton Cooper and he has just won the world champs for New Zealand, and Nelson guys like Tom Filmer and all of them as well.
"It is quite good. With me being quite young and those guys having been off to the world champs they sort of give me advice and tell me what to do and what not to do."
The sponge for MTB knowledge said he believed his chosen pursuit was a growing sport in this country.
However he said the similarities and the crossover endurance traits for athletes makes it a perfect poaching ground for road cycling, as athletes look to make a career on the bike.
"New Zealand is quite strong in mountainbiking, we have some pretty good riders.
"But the only thing is there is not as much money in it as there is in road cycling and once people get to the top of under-19 age group, a lot of mountainbikers switch to the road. They just want to make a career."
Scott said his long-term goal was to make a career out of mountainbiking and to make the New Zealand Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games teams.
Scott said this year was about building his resume, so the New Zealand selectors would "take a look" at him for the under-19 team next year so he can attend some world cup events and build experience.
With titles in every event from regional to national secondary schools, the New Zealand champs and mountainbike cup, Scott is certain to be on the radar already.

State asks deer hunters to have pot-growing operations
They didn't care about the environment, leaving behind mounds of empty beer cans, picante sauce bottles, Ritz cracker boxes, Spam cans and Gatorade jugs. They left behind clothing, shoes, camouflage tents, dark-colored sleeping bags, camping chairs. They left behind a mess.
After all they were in the forest not to sightsee but to make money -- lots of it.
Heavily armed drug traffickers from Mexico are using the only national forest in Wisconsin as their personal farms and greenhouses, growing millions of dollars in marijuana and leaving behind their garbage, poached deer carcasses, fertilizer and pesticides.
For the last three summers, large marijuana operations have been discovered in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin. In each of those busts, law enforcement made numerous arrests, almost all natives of Mexico here illegally. Confiscated weapons included handguns, AK-47s and a .308-caliber rifle with ammunition magazines taped together.
Jeff Seefeldt, district ranger for the U.S. Forest Service, surveyed the scene with disgust.
"When the spring rains come all this would have ended up in that Class A trout stream," Seefeldt said nodding to the south branch of the Oconto River that wound through an area that had been clear-cut and planted with hundreds of marijuana plants.
Since 2008 officers have discovered 11 large illegal marijuana operations, mostly on public land in Wisconsin.
Investigators say it's likely only the tip of the iceberg.
Each of the last three major grows in the Chequamegon-Nicolet were discovered by hunters or anglers. With 1.5 million acres of remote land in the national forest, and many more millions of acres in county and state land, law enforcement is trying to get the word out to outdoors enthusiasts. That includes more than 600,000 hunters heading into the woods for opening weekend of the gun-deer season Saturday.
In the back page of this season's deer hunting regulations pamphlet, hunters are cautioned to be suspicious of illegal drug operations on public land and leave immediately when they see areas with abnormal cuttings or clearings, makeshift structures, gardening tools, watering cans and chemical containers. Hunters who see something that doesn't look right should note the location, with GPS coordinates if possible, and report it to law enforcement.
"It's a significant problem," said Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen. "We have people who want to use our lands for public recreation, and they're at risk from people who have a big cash crop to protect. When we encounter ammunition and people armed in the woods with that incentive, it's a great danger to the public."
Of those arrested in the last few years, many revealed they were recruited in California for the work, driven to northern Wisconsin -- some didn't even know which state they were in -- and dropped off in the woods. They were supplied by people dubbed "loncheros" who stopped every few days to bring supplies.
While the 2012 case is pending, 10-year federal prison sentences were handed down in the other cases. After they serve their prison terms, they will be deported to Mexico.
"Which begs the question why do we bother if we're going to deport?" said U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil for the Western District of Wisconsin.
"But I have a strong feeling that that's not right. If this was an American citizen doing this crime they would serve 10 years. Plus there's a good chance the guys will come back to the U.S. and do this again if we deport them right away," said Vaudreuil, a Rice Lake native.
Using hand axes and saws they cut down thousands of trees, clear cut numerous small areas of the forest, planted marijuana and then carefully cultivated the plants each day by siphoning water from nearby streams before harvesting and packing it out where it likely ended up being sold in Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago and the Twin Cities.
Why are Mexican drug organizations coming all the way to Wisconsin when they can grow marijuana out west? Economics, explained David Spakowicz, state Division of Criminal Investigation director of field operations for Wisconsin's eastern region.
"Once it's up in northern Wisconsin, you don't have to worry about transportation costs, you don't have to worry about getting it over the (U.S.-Mexico) border. It's so appealing because of the rural nature of Wisconsin," Spakowicz said.
It's also a labor-intensive crop if done right. Marijuana plants are cultivated by breaking off the leaves, which pushes the tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, to the bud and makes the weed more potent and valuable. High-grade marijuana found growing on public land in California has a street value of $4,000 to $6,000 per pound, Spakowicz said.
He estimated much of the marijuana found in recent years on public land in Wisconsin would have a street value of $2,500 per pound. Each marijuana plant provides roughly one pound of pot. Last summer in the Chequamegon-Nicolet in Oconto County, 8,385 plants were confiscated while almost 7,000 plants were discovered in the forest in Ashland County in 2011.
The plants are dried on racks made from poles cut and lashed together, then usually vacuum-packed into plastic bags and carried out where the men and their backpacks filled with marijuana are picked up and driven away, leaving behind their garbage and hundreds of holes left in the ground. Investigators know in some cases growers returned to use the same land in subsequent years when they were not detected.

Wolak told police Fellenbaum took off
While FBI agents and state troopers spent a second straight day scouring Hammel Woods for some sign of missing mom Stacy Peterson, there was no one to be found in a Joliet cul-de-sac just six miles away, the one where another mother was supposedly seen running off barefoot, never to be seen again.
That mother, Linda Fellenbaum, 33, disappeared Oct. 21, leaving her cell phone, shoes and Toyota Camry at the home of the Joliet man she moved in with only two months before.
Fellenbaum and her Joliet boyfriend, Donald Wolak, 40, had met on the Internet, police said, and their short relationship was made out to be a stormy one.
Wolak told police Fellenbaum took off on him five days before disappeared for good. And when she absconded on Oct. 16, she stole a "large sum of cash" and one of his handguns, Joliet police Cmdr. Briant Benton said Wolak told detectives.
Fellenbaum returned to Wolak's home on Oct. 21, police said, with Wolak believing she came back to give him his gun and money. But instead the couple argued, and the barefoot woman fled without her shoes, phone or car, Benton said Wolak explained to investigators.
It later came to light that Wolak wasn't the first man Fellenbaum visited that day, according to a Chicago resident who says he and the mother of three connected on Facebook and met for a sex date at a Naperville hotel about 4 p.m. on Oct. 21.
The tryst never came off, the man said, and he didn't even realize his would-be lover was missing until nearly two weeks later.
Fellenbaum's family said they have heard nothing from the missing woman, but claim a neighbor and friend of Wolak used her abandoned cell phone to call them. Fellenbaum's mother and brother-in-law said the neighbor went by a fake name but detectives figured out her true identity.
The Joliet police have canvassed Wolak's neighborhood several times since she was reported missing to them on Oct, 25. Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton said Wolak has cooperated with detectives and allowed them inside his house.
Wolak has failed to return calls for comment from Patch and has not answered the door to his house after repeated visits to his home. Likewise, the neighbor accused by Fellenbaum's family of using the missing woman's telephone to call them has failed to answer her door or to return calls made to her phone.
To support the efforts by police, the family and friends of Fellenbaum conducted a search of their own Sunday. They gathered at nearby Mistwood Golf Course in Romeoville and walked through the area looking for the missing mother.
The volunteer search ended without locating Fellenbaum, and after two days, the professional operation conducted by the state police and FBI failed to find Stacy, sources said.
The person of interest is described as a white male, over 6 feet tall, medium build with dark hair.
Detectives want to know if he's the man committing credit card fraud at local businesses. He often wears athletic pants believed to be Adidas brand, written down the leg, and flip-flop style shoes.
Several local organizations, businesses or individuals are collecting needed supplies for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. As they are made known to The News Eagle the announcement will be posted online that same day and in the paper, as long as the collection cutoff is not before publication.

ASICS Invites Gymnasts to Create the Ultimate Natural Shoe
33 members of the award winning GB Acrobatic Squad and Britain's Got Talent winners, Spelbound, spent the day in a London studio bent in eye watering positions to achieve an incredible human statue of an ASICS running shoe. The gymnasts contorted and supported each other to create this image captured by photographer Melvin Vincent to launch the latest collection of running shoes from performance sportswear brand ASICS.
The human shoe is a replica of ASICS' new GEL-EXCEL33, which is now on sale at specialist running stores across Europe. The GEL-EXCEL 33 is the flagship model of the new ASICS 33 collection which is designed to allow all 33 joints in the foot to move freely giving the wearer a natural running experience.
The flexible gymnasts were directed by two choreographers to help the gymnasts mould themselves into the different shapes required to create the human shoe. To showcase one of the key properties of the shoe, called the 'Propulsion Trusstic' - which helps the foot transform from a flexible structure for shock absorption, into a powerful lever for forward propulsion - the gymnasts had to incorporate real athletic strength and skill by shifting their bodies into back breaking positions and strenuously lifting their team mates forward.
"This is a first for us" said Neil Griffith, choreographer and World Champion gymnastics coach, "we have worked for some interesting clients over the years but we've never been asked to create the shape of a running shoe before. Having 33 gymnasts involved and showing the human shoe move forward created some challenges but we are delighted with the result."
Filmed in HD, a behind-the-scenes film is available to view at http://tinyurl.com/7dwkvzn and shows the gymnasts back-flipping, somersaulting and throwing younger members of the team forward to show the explosive power the shoe offers the wearer.
Michael Price, Marketing Director of ASICS Europe B.V. comments: "The ASICS 33 collection is all about natural movement, flexibility and propulsion and so what better way to illustrate this than creating a human version of the shoe with some of the best gymnasts in the world."
Three photographs have been created to show the progression that the foot makes whilst the wearer is running and an accompanying film shows the gymnasts bursting forward at the end as the foot springs forward- highlighting the unique properties of the ASICS Propulsion Trusstic.
