…if you take your kids trick-or-treating tonight, do not go down to Westport’s favorite neighborhood: Compo Beach.
In recent years, Westporters discovered that with beach homes packed so densely, the candy-per-minute ratio is exceptionally high. Residents of the area have taken the hit with good grace, generously handing out goodies to trick-or-treaters chauffeured in by parents.
This year, however, beach residents were flooded by more than ghosts and princesses from the 1- and 2-acre zoning hinterlands. Compo homeowners are dealing with an actual flood. With water — and sand — filling their yards and homes, they’re just not able to host every kid in town.

So here’s an idea: Trick or treat in your own neighborhood. Just like the old days.
But watch out for wires, tree limbs and anything else Hurricane Sandy threw at us.
And if the lights are off, don’t assume people are avoiding you. Don’t “trick” them with toilet paper or eggs.
They just don’t have a generator.
Good move Dan.
The Town Leaders have decided to let gawkers and looters back into the area.
Can’t you talk some sense into them?
Who would let their kids go out tonight with all the downed wires, trees, and debris? Only Joseloff, our fearless selectman, is that stupid!
Knee jerk reaction by a jerk who over reacted last year and now is over compensating.
