When Main Street is closed to traffic for Saturday’s Shopping Day, Triple Threat Academy provides the entertainment.
Recent Staples High School graduate/University of Michigan-bound/”Country Comfort” star Jamie Mann will sing. He’ll be joined by castmate Shiloh Verrico, who trains virtually with Triple Threat founder (and Staples grad Cynthia Gibb).

When trust is violated, can it ever be recovered?
That’s the premise of “Better to Trust.” Heather Frimmer‘s second novel centers around a neurosurgeon struggling with a pill addiction, who makes the decision to operate on his sister-in-law’s brain.
Secrets swirling around drug use and sexual identity must be dealt with, in order for the family to learn to trust each other again.
Frimmer — a radiologist specializing in breast and emergency room imaging — launches her new book at the Westport Library on September 21 (7 p.m.). The event is both in-person and livestreamed. Autographed copies can be picked up on site or shipped. There will be light refreshments and door prizes too.

Neat! (Photos/Ernie Lorimer)
