After years of planning — and controversy — a new Long Lots Elementary School is rising on Hyde Lane.
The site is the former baseball field, adjacent to the oldest section of the 70-year-old building.
Construction walls hide much of the activity from students, staff and passersby. But the other day, “06880” photographer Brandon Malin flew his drone over the work.
These bird’s-eye photos show how much progress has already been made. And how close it is to the school that will be demolished this summer.
The new Long Lots Elementary School and Stepping Stones Preschool are scheduled to open in January 2028.
The Fire Department is on the scene of a propane leak on Morningside Drive South. Workers struck a 500-gallon propane tank.
The propane company and Fairfield County Hazardous Materials Response Team are conducting a flare tower operation to burn off the remaining propane.
Morningside Drive South is closed between Hillandale Road and Center Street. That has snarled traffic around Greens Farms Elementary School, and will impact bus routes and pickups there.

jason bird’s “Parlor of impossibilities”: impossible to miss show at delamar
I expected to be impressed, amazed, even awed, at magician/mentalist Jason Bird’s intimate “Parlor of Impossibilities” Sunday at the Delamar Westport.
I did not expect to have the most mysterious, “magical” night of my life.
His card tricks were astonishing, sure. I’m still reeling from some of them.
But the evening — one of his first 2 “residences” at the hotel, in a small room decorating like a private parlor of old — was so much more.
From opening a sealed box with lotto tickets that matched exactly 6 random numbers chosen by audience members, to showing a watch that matched precisely the time of birth of another guest, Jason’s show was absolutely mind-blowing.
Not to mention his whole don’t-try-this-at-home razor swallowing trick. (The 5 blades emerged — from his unbloodied mouth — arranged neatly on a string of floss.)
“Parlor of Impossibilities” has to be seen to be believed. (Though 2 days later, I still can’t believe what I saw.)
Fortunately, you can. Jason returns to the Delamar November 22 and December 13. There are 2 shows each day, at 4 and 7 p.m.
Only gobsmacked. And transported into a new dimension.
MOONRISE!
Speaking of magical: How about last night’s moonrise?
“06880” was flooded with photos. Here’s one of the best, from Howard Edelstein on Saugatuck Shores:

GARDEN CLUB REAPS 2 reWARDS
Congratulations to the Westport Garden Club!
The 102-year-old organization won 2 big awards at last week’s 97th Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut ceremony.
One was the Award of Excellence — Civic Development.
For nearly 50 years the Westport Garden Club, in partnership with the Grace Salmon Trust and the town of Westport, has transformed a former landfill into the vibrant Grace Salmon Park and Pollinator Pathway along the Saugatuck River.
Cub members recently restored 4 garden beds with 100 perennials and 100 native plantings, added educational features, and continue enhancing the park’s ecological, educational and recreational value.
The 3-acre park was created in the 1970s when the WGC initiated a project to reclaim a former municipal landfill and marshland. Designed by landscape architect Eloise Ray (1905–1995) and named after Westport civic leader Grace Salmon (1869–1937), the park opened in October 1977. It has been maintained by WGC members ever since.
The second award was a Certificate of Appreciation — Louise Demakis
For more than 20 years she has served as the historian for Westport Garden Club. Through extensive research she wrote a 118-page history, “From White Gloves to Wheelbarrows.”
The book chronicles the club’s 100-year evolution from 1924 to 2024, highlighting its major projects and the changing role of gardening through the decades.
The Westport Garden Club, with help from Parks & Rec, maintains 5 garden beds at Grace Salmon Park. From left: WGC Civics Chair Joellen Bradford, member Patricia Buckley, past president Ginger Donaher.

modern love: crash landing a plane, rebuilding a life
Every Sunday, the New York Times’ “Modern Love” column offers a thought-provoking essay about relationships.
Old, young, happy, sad, complex, simple, straight, gay, polyamorous, lusty, loveless — each week, writers invite readers into their most intimate lives.
This week’s essay — harrowing and compelling — was by a Westporter.
Robin Bonnist wrote about the afternoon 3 years ago when her husband, flying them both to a family reunion, blacked out during the approach to Martha’s Vineyard.
Pinned on one side by his body, she somehow crash landed the plane.
He died 5 days later. She grappled with the aftermath.
Fourteen months later, her mother was dying in Florida. Could she confront her demons, and board a plane to say her final goodbye?
Robin’s column is masterfully written. It is also a lesson in resilience.
The author’s note says she is working on a memoir about her experience. It will be well worth the read.
Speaking of marriage: You never know what you’ll see at Compo Beach.
On Sunday, it was this proposal:
It worked!
Moments after Nathan Greenbaum saw that, there was this:

If the wedding is at Compo Beach, we’ll cover that too.

“westport … naturally” & song of the day
This hunter’s moon has brought “06880” photographers out in droves.
Today’s almost-Halloween-ish “Westport … Naturally” image was captured by Michael Szeto.
And finally … in honor of Jason Bird’s unfathomable magic show (story above):
(It’s not magic. We just work our 8-balls off every day to bring you all the news, information, insights, features, photos and more about Westport that we can. Please help us by clicking here. Thank you!
The Fairfield native learned at the Black Rock Yacht Club. She subscribed to Swimming World, and read Doc Counsilman’s groundbreaking “The Science of Swimming.”
“I was a total swimming geek,” she says.
But her first day at the University of South Carolina pool was overwhelming. She felt like “a goldfish in the ocean.” That was the end of her competitive career.
As a swimmer, that is.
While still at Roger Ludlowe High School, Johnston had coached Fairfield YMCA 8-and-unders. She was also a team administrators, joining as a teenager in meetings with adults.
Two years after leaving the pool, Johnston became the South Carolina swim team’s manager. “That put me back on course,” she says — figuratively and literally.
Ellen Johnston
Though she majored in business, and planned to become a sports lawyer, she enjoyed coaching too much.
Johnston started at a club with Bob Bowman — Michael Phelps’ future coach. She worked at the 1984 Olympics trials, the first one for Rowdy Gaines. She spent 2 years as head age group coach in Bowie, Maryland.
In 1986, while rehabbing a knee injury at the Fairfield Y, she connected with Bill Krumm, the Westport Y’s head coach.
She had never planned to remain in this area.
Forty years later, Johnston is still here.
Over 4 decades she has made her mark, as a demanding but much loved swim coach.
She’s made an impact too at high levels, as an administrator with Connecticut Swimming and national committees. She’s currently on the board of the American Swim Coaches Association.
In 2014, as the new Westport Y prepared to open, Ellen Johnston took a ceremonial turn at the hose.
On January 23, the Westport Weston Family YMCA will honor Johnston for her 40 years of service. It’s the latest recognition in a career that includes YMCA National Coach of the Year in 2015, and multiple Connecticut Senior Coach of the Year awards.
It’s not a retirement ceremony. She’s still coaching and organizing — as enthusiastically as ever.
Krumm “allowed me to spread my wings,” Johnston says. The Water Rats were then — and still are — a quality program. They’re also “a real family.”
As a coach, she takes the long view. In today’s world, when youngsters — and their parents — want “instant results, answers and success,” Johnston offers something else: a path toward the future.
Ellen Johnston, in action.
She does not want her swimmers to burn out. She hopes they’ll continue to love swimming, in high school and beyond.
Johnston — who was named Westport Y head coach in 2012 — gives credit to her “phenomenal” staff. Kristen Finnegan was last year’s state Coach of the Year; she’s joined by Kristen Finnegan, Todd Stevens, Maura O’Grady and others. In the summer, college alumni come back to help.
Paralympics bronze medalist Matthew Torres honors Ellen Johnston.
Like any good coach, Johnston is constantly adapting. “I coach differently now than I did earlier — even 5 or 10 years ago,” she says. “Life is always about learning.”
Boys and girls today “are not as athletic as they once were,” she notes. “That’s true of all sports.” She encourages them to try many activities besides swimming. too.
In her 40 years with the Westport Y, Johnston has seen many other changes. She’s moved from the Stauffer and Brophy pools — the latter a cramped 17-yard facility — to the current 25-yard one.
Still, she says, “water is water. Good swimmers come out of all kinds of pools.”
Johnston has spent 4 decades developing excellent swimmers. Her great reward is not medals, though; it’s watching them grow into good adults, knowing that swimming has helped them set individual goals, while also being part of a team bigger than themselves.
Unlike many sports, swimming is completely objective. Results are timed, down to hundredths of a second.
“You go out to be the best you can be,” Johnston says.
“You’ll trip, stumble and fall. Sometimes you have to do it yourself. But we’ll be there to help pick you up.”
Just as Ellen Johnston has done for 40 years, as a Westport YMCA legend.

The September 13 rain bomb damaged her home, and destroyed 3-room rental unit in her lower level. It supplements her income. Health issues limit her ability to work.
It was the first water intrusion she’d ever had, in 28 years here.
Debra says, “I am 70 years old and trying to manage this on my own. It has become a nightmare, and an expense I was not prepared for.” Insurance (of course) does not cover her losses.
last call: tickets for “historic homes of 06880” tour
Tickets are almost all gone for the 4th annual “Historic Homes of 06880” house tour.
This Sunday’s (November 1) event — produced in collaboration with the great KMS Team at Compass crew — is our biggest yet.

“9 Hearths” (actually 11), owned by former 1st Selectwoman Jen Tooker nearby, at 56 Sylvan Road North
50 Turkey Hill North, the much-admired former inn and tavern across from St. Luke Church, owned for over a century by the Burr and Banks families
311 Greens Farms Road, one of the oldest homes in Westport; featuring original flooring and beams, with a complementary addition
217 Compo Road South, an 1855 Victorian farmhouse and carriage house that epitomize thoughtful renovation, with history at the forefront.
From 4 to 7 p.m., Main Street, Elm and Church Streets are filled with holiday fun.
Staples Orphenians and a string ensemble play. There’s a DJ too, plus Santa Claus, face painting, a photo booth and much more.
Merchants and restaurants offer special promotions (including freebies). Vendors and non-profits fill the streets. PopUp Bagels will be there too, celebrating their opening in Westport.

wwpt: #1 in the NATION!
Congratulations to WWPT!
The Staples radio station — 90.3 FM, but you should already have it on your pre-sets — was named the Best High School Station in the country this past weekend.
For the second straight year.
The honor came at the John Drury High School Radio Awards in Chicago.
In addition, Thomas Scott was named Broadcaster of the Year.
Dylan Robbin — who, we are proud to say, is a member of “06880”‘s board of directors — was a finalist for Broadcaster of the Year. He also took 2nd place with Thomas and Charlie Curran for Best Underwriting or Commercial (for Gaetano’s Deli), and 5th for Best Sportscast.
Declan Jandora was a finalist for Broadcaster of the Year. In addition, he placed third for Best DJ.
Kudos to advisor Geno Heiter, and the entire staff at The Best High School Radio Station in the US.
WWPT-FM advisor Geno Heiter (left) with Declan Jandora, Thomas Scott and Dylan Robbin — and their awards.
Now, have a chance to learn how to prevent damage by bad guys — and to meet Sam, one of the real good guys.
The event is tomorrow (Tuesday, October 27, 6 p.m., VFW Post 399). It’s hosted by (of all groups) the Wilton Drum Hill chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (who only had to worry about Benedict Arnold).
But that’s not all.
Soon, Sam will team up with the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce, for a pair of Verso University “Lunch and Learn” sessions at the Westport Library.
Both are at noon, on November 13 and December 11. The first topic is “AI for Small Businesses“; the second builds on that one, for “Next Steps” (though previous attendance is not required).
No technical background required. The Library says: “Bring your lunch, your questions, and a real task you’d like help with.”

“WESTPORT … NATURALLY” & SONG OF THE DAY
Fall foliage continues to amaze and inspire us.
Today’s “Westport … Naturally” featured photo is from Lansdowne Condominiums.
Good question. The 133-year-old swing bridge — the only one of its kind left in the country — is not getting any younger.
Of course, it was pretty old — close to 100 — in 1985.
Over 40 years ago — when Microsoft released Windows 1.0, Symbolics.com was registered as the first .com domain name, Nintendo launched Super Mario Bros., and Coca-Cola introduced “New Coke” — Westporters were talking about … what to do with what was called the Bridge Street Bridge.
(Its namesake, William F. Cribari, was then an energetic 66-year-old, directing traffic onto and off of the bridge. He lived another 22 years — dying almost 2 decades ago.)
Roger Leifer unearthed a fascinating story from the Westport News. (That was our local newspaper. The Cribari Bridge outlasted it too.)
The piece began: “State officials say an environmental assessment relating to plans for replacement of the Bridge Street Bridge is expected to continue for the next few weeks.”
The state proposed replacing it with a “stronger, more modern bridge which could accommodate tractor trailers. The current bridge has been deemed ‘structurally deficient’ and has a 7-ton load limit.”
The project would cost $6 million or more. State and federal governments would fund the replacement.
Once upon a time, the Bridge Street Bridge was strong enough to support trolleys.
The proposal was “vigorously opposed by a large number of Westport residents, particularly those living in the Saugatuck area. Residents claim that a larger, wider bridge will lead to increased car and truck traffic in the area, as motorists try to bypass the increasingly congested Connecticut Turnpike and the Norwalk toll.”
(That toll booth, just west of Exit 17, did not outlive the Cribari Bridge either. In fact, they were gone that same year of 1985.)
Added traffic would “destroy” the neighborhood, residents said, while a new bridge would “remove a picturesque landmark which is part of the ‘tradition’ of Westport.
Opponents claimed the bridge could be brought up to proper structural standards for $3 million — and be strong enough to accommodate buses and fire trucks. The 7-ton limit precluded them from using it then.
State officials countered that it was “impractical to restore the bridge, given its deteriorating supporting structure and its limited width and height.
Opening the Cribari Bridge requires hand cranking.
A DOT proposal for a bridge with a vertical clearance of 16 feet — 3 higher than the current 13 — and 56 feet wide, 26 feet more — would allow a third lane, for improved traffic flow.
The DOT’s acting manager of the Bridge Design Unit, Daniel Coffey, said that the state intended to proceed with the replacement, despite Westporters’ objections.
He added that as part of the environmental assessment, DOT officials were reviewing “historical factors.”
Classic view of the Bridge Street Bridge. The latest major work was one in 1993.
Because it is on the National Register of Historic Places, officials were required to consider the historical status of the bridge, when debating restoration and replacement.
First Selectman William Seiden “reluctantly accepted the basic concept that the old bridge has to be replaced,” the Westport News said, “citing practical and financial considerations.”
Seiden noted that state and federal governments would not pay for a new bridge, unless it was strong enough to allow tractor trailers to cross.
“The first selectman said if the town wants to build a weight-limited bridge, it would have to pay for itself,” the story concluded.

Noted photographer Tom Kretsch lives near the Cribari Bridge. He often stops midway through his walk, gazing at the river below. The other day, he caught 2 Saugatuck Rowing Club crews — one of young men, the other women — gliding past in the late afternoon light.
