A few minutes ago, superintendent of schools Thomas Scarice sent this message to Westport Public Schools parents and guardians:
As we conclude the day, I want to provide a brief follow-up to my earlier message regarding this morning’s reported threat to Coleytown Elementary School.
As shared earlier, at approximately 7:45 a.m., the Fairfield County Regional Dispatch Center received a 911 text message reporting a bomb threat to CES. Shortly thereafter, the Westport Police Department contacted district administration, and our established safety protocols were immediately implemented, no small task during the height of morning transportation.
By 8:15 a.m., families were notified of a 2-hour delayed start while the WPD, joined by the Stamford Police Bomb Squad and explosive detection K9 unit, conducted a comprehensive search of the building.
During this time, staff and students already on site were safely relocated to Coleytown Middle School, and CES buses en route were redirected to the same location.
At that point in time, CMS students were already en route to CMS or on campus. As a result, CMS was placed in a brief shelter-in-place as a precaution.
By 9:10 a.m., the WPD and their Stamford partners cleared the building, confirming that no explosive devices were found. CES was deemed safe, CES students returned later that morning between 10:45 and 11 a.m., and the CMS shelter-in-place was lifted.
Today’s tightly coordinated response resulted in a resolution of the incident in less than 90 minutes, while engaging 3 regional police departments (Stamford, Norwalk, and Fairfield, along with the Stamford Police Bomb Squad).
We were also supported on-site by Deputy Chiefs Ryan Paulsson and Dave Wolf of the Westport Police Department. Their professionalism and collaboration were exemplary and deeply appreciated.
Following the all-clear, both Coleytown Elementary and Coleytown Middle Schools convened their crisis response teams to review the morning’s events. Later, each school gathered their full faculties to debrief and reflect on the effectiveness of our response and the well-being of students and staff.
At CMS, Principal Janna Sirowich provided clear and compassionate communication throughout the morning.
At 8:25 a.m., she addressed all students and staff in the cafeteria and auditorium, explaining that while a threat had been made to CES, police determined it was not credible and that these actions were being taken as a precaution. She reassured everyone that the shelter-in-place was precautionary, encouraged calm, and asked students to refrain from using cell phones and Chromebooks.
She made a follow-up intercom announcement later thanking students and staff for their cooperation and composure, and confirming that the shelter-in-place had been lifted and normal routines could resume. She also reminded students that support was available for anyone feeling uneasy.
As I shared this morning, while any such threat is deeply unsettling, today’s events once again demonstrated the strength of our safety protocols, the professionalism of our law enforcement partners, and the calm leadership of our building administrators, the professionalism of our staff and the maturity of our students.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our district and school leaders, the Westport Police Department, and our regional law enforcement partners for their coordinated and effective response. Most of all, I want to thank our students and families for their patience, trust, and support throughout the day.
Superintendent of Schools Thomas Scarice offers this update on today’s incident, involving a reported threat at Coleytown Elementary School:
At approximately 7:45 a.m., the Fairfield County Regional Dispatch Center received a 911 text message reporting a bomb threat to Coleytown Elementary School.
Shortly thereafter, the Westport Police Department contacted district administration. We immediately implemented our established safety protocols, which is particularly challenging during morning transportation runs.
By 8:15 a.m., a message was sent to Coleytown Elementary families notifying them of a 2-hour delayed start while the WPD, supported by the Stamford Police Bomb Squad and their explosive detection K9 unit, conducted a search of the building.
During this time, staff and students who were already on site were safely relocated to Coleytown Middle School, in addition to any buses in route. As a precaution, Coleytown Middle School was briefly placed under a shelter-in-place directive while the investigation was underway.
By 9:10 a.m., the WPD and their Stamford partners cleared the building, confirming that no explosive devices were found. Coleytown Elementary was deemed safe, and normal operations will resume, with students expected to arrive between 10:45 and 11:00 a.m. The CMS shelter-in-place was lifted.
The incident remains under investigation by the Westport Police Detective Bureau.
I want to express my deep appreciation for the professionalism and swift coordination of the WPD, the leadership of our building administrators, and the dedication of our faculty and support staff, whose actions ensured the safety of everyone involved.
I also want to commend our students, who responded calmly, respectfully, and with great maturity, reflecting the care and preparedness that define our school community.
While deeply troubling, our prior experiences, such as previous “swatting” incidents, have made us well-prepared to respond quickly and effectively, as was demonstrated this morning.
While any such threat is unsettling, today’s events clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of our emergency response protocols, the strength of our partnership with the WPD, and the remarkable composure of our staff, students, and building administrators.
Thank you for your continued trust, cooperation, and support.
Lovingly preserved homes and beautiful fall weather were the perfect combination for yesterday’s very educational, very high energy and very fun “Historic Homes of 06880” house tour.
Over 130 guests toured 2 properties on Greens Farms Road (both once owned by the Bedford family), and 2 other equally cool ones, on Long Lots Road and Wilton Road.
“06880” board members Dan Donovan and Bill Scheffler flank KMS Team at Compass members Mary Ellen Gallagher and Susan Seath, at 249 Greens Farms Road. Built by Edward T. Bedford, its interior is similar to the 1923 Westport YMCA building — which he endowed too.
Huge props to our friends at KMS Team at Compass, who helped organize the event, and provided historical background and other materials; Pat Shea of Coldwell Banker, who is involved with one of the Bedford homes, and the “06880” board of directors, who greeted visitors warmly and offered additional insights.
In a town filled with new construction, residents love to take a peek into homes that have stood for a century or two. There are many around — and we’ll show off 4 more great ones next year.

And speaking of “06880” activities: The 5th annual Holiday Stroll returns Saturday, December 6!
From 4 to 7 p.m., the Westport Downtown Association and “06880” present a now-traditional, action-packed and family-friendly kickoff to the holidays.
The Orphenians will sing. Santa and other characters will pose for photos. There’s a DJ, face painting, food, special deals for shoppers, and much more — including a dedication of the new WDA clock.
More details coming soon. But for now: Save the date!
Which means that on Wednesday, thousands of yard signs will be obsolete.
Most candidates do a good job of removing them, within the 48 hours required by law.
But what next?
Representative Town Meeting (RTM) members recycle theirs. Many run every 2 years; it’s a non-partisan body, so their signs just say their name and district.
Yet the signs for those running for boards and commissions — often on a ticket with others — are instantly outdated.
They might save the metal stands. The signs themselves are destined for landfill.
Unless someone has a better idea.
Can artwork be created, perhaps as a school project? Is there another use for them?
I have no idea. But “06880” can start a good discussion.
If you know a good use for thousands of suddenly useless yard signs, click “Comments” below.

Speaking of the election: Early voting ended yesterday. It was the first time in Connecticut, for local races.
After 2 weeks, 16.7% — 3,177 out of 19,020 eligible Westport voters — cast ballots.
The breakdown:
Democrats: 1,772 of 7,945 eligible voters (22.30%)
Republicans: 488 of 3,332 eligible voters (14.65%)
Unaffiliated: 899 of 7,588 eligible voters (11.85%)
Of course, how they voted will not be known until tomorrow night. “06880” will have the results when they are announced, some time after 8 p.m.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist (and 1991 Staples High School graduate) Lysney Addario’s new film, “Love+War” — a documentary about her work in conflicts around the globe — has gotten great reviews.
The Westport Book Shop’s guest exhibitor this month is well-known artist Darcy Hicks.
Specializing in metal leaf and oil paint, she is drawn to anything that reflects aggressive light.
Hicks is the director of education at the Norwalk Art Space, which provides free art and music education to low-income students. The Westport native earned a bachelor’s in fine arts from Smith College, a master’s of education from Lesley University, and an MFA in creative writing from Fairfield University.
A reception is set for November 12 (6 p.m.). All artwork on display is available for purchase. 25% of the proceeds will be donated to the Arbor Day Foundation, which has planted half a billion trees.

Jeff Lea — the winningest coach in Staples boys soccer history — has just won again.
The 2nd permanent head coach — who served in 1970, then from 1978 to 2002, and won 5 state championships plus 12 FCIAC titles en route to a 357-77-42 record — will be inducted on March 7, at the Doubletree in Bristol.
Lea’s selection brings to 12 the number of Connecticut Soccer Hall of Fame inductees with Staples ties. They include Loeffler, Steve Baumann, Paul Hunter, Tim Hunter, Jim Kuhlmann, Kyle Martino, Ken Murphy, Kevin Murphy, Mark Noonan, Mike Noonan and Dan Woog.

Coleytown Elementary School is operating on a 2-hour delay today, and Stepping Stones Preschool is closed, following a threat made concerning CES.
Students at nearby Coleytown Middle School were sheltering in place, in areas like the auditorium and cafeteria.
School officials told parents that while they do not believe the threat is credible, they are conducting a thorough review of CES. Students en route to Coleytown El were delivered to Coleytown Middle, where staff received and took care of them.

The Jimmy Kimmel controversy is only the latest in America’s long-running debate over how free “free speech” can and should be.
Ari Edelson has spent his career thinking about issues like that. After earning degrees at both Yale University and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, the 1994 Staples High School graduate earned international fame as a producer and director in the US and Europe.
In 2008 Edelson took the helm of the renowned Jean Cocteau Repertory, and reimagined it as the Orchard Project. The unique endeavor grew rapidly. In 2015 it moved to Saratoga Springs, New York.
During 10-day-long residencies, companies and artists are provided room and board, staff support and technical resources.
The program hosts 8 to 12 projects at a time, supporting up to 40 projects every summer. Participants range from playwrights working alone on drafts, to full ensembles in large rehearsal spaces.
Most works are cutting-edge. Some skirt free-speech boundaries or norms.
This summer, Edelson was part of an ACLU panel on censorship in the theater. Part of his remarks were about “Falsettos.”
But he was not talking about the Broadway version of the Tony Award-winning show, with its savage and touching exploration of family, love, religion and AIDS. Edelson remembered the production 31 years ago in Westport.
The one that was censored by the Staples High School principal.
Keith Haring designed the “Falsettos” logo.
In 1994 Edelson — a senior, president of Staples Players (and, in his spare time, chair of the Staples Governing Board) — wanted to cap his high school career by directing his first show ever: a Studio Theater production of “Falsettos.” Like one of the characters in the show, he had had a bar mitzvah at the bedside of a dying relative.
Players director Al Pia helped him secure the rights. On a Monday morning, Pia told him Staples was chosen for the first amateur production anywhere of “Falsettos.” Despite its complex themes and demanding score, it would be entirely student-run, from direction and sets, to lighting and music. Edelson was ecstatic.
An hour later, he was devastated. Principal Gloria Rakovic told him he could not do the show.
“The school had already been subject to controversies about sexual orientation,” Edelson recalls. “She didn’t want the school to be exposed to any more.”
His initial reaction: “You can’t tell me what to say.”
His second: “I’ll find a place to do it.”
Edelson went to a pay phone near the fieldhouse, and called his parents.
Then he called his rabbi, Robert Orkand.
“I wasn’t very religious,” Edelson says. “But I wanted him to know. He said he’d support any decision I made.”
Surreptitiously that afternoon, Edelson held auditions. Forty students — an enormous number for a small-cast show — were there.
The next morning, he posted the cast list. Meanwhile, an English teacher alerted the American Civil Liberties Union. The story was gaining attention.
That same day, the town’s interfaith clergy organization had a meeting with superintendent of schools Paul Kelleher. They told him they would support the students’ right to put on the show.
On Wednesday morning, Pia offered to introduce Edelson to Westport Country Playhouse artistic director Jim McKenzie. The Playhouse, he said, was eager to host “Falsettos.”

That afternoon, the administrator in charge of theater told Edelson that the decision was reversed. He could produce the show at Staples.
Uncertain whether the school would change its mind again, or impose certain restrictions, he stuck with the Playhouse.
“I felt I was in a community that encouraged people to speak out,” he says. “I was trying to speak out for what I thought was right, and not be afraid.”
The 17-year-old could easily have avoided the problems he faced from adults who doubted his and his troupe’s ability to handle a show about homosexuality and religious faith.
The young ensemble could have avoided involvement too. John Newman had to juggle his duties as a baseball co-captain, while other actors and musicians were preparing for a European concert and orchestra tour.

None needed to face questions from friends and parents about why they were so interested in learning about AIDS and gays (and bar mitzvahs).
But they did. And — empowered by community support — “Falsettos” had a 2-week run at the Westport Country Playhouse. It played to full houses, earned rave reviews, and left grown men and women in tears.
During rehearsals, the cast had been inspired by meeting and hearing the stories of AIDS patients at Bread & Roses, the Georgetown hospice. Edelson donated half the proceeds there. The other half went to the Mid-Fairfield County AIDS Project.
The director calls those months “a real learning experience, in a world we were only just learning about. We were 16 and 17 years old. We met optimistic characters, in a time of great uncertainty.”

Not everyone agreed with the decision to produce “Falsettos.” Local media — the Westport News, Minuteman and Norwalk Hour — became “a town square for arguments about whether it was appropriate for kids to be telling these stories.”
It was appropriate then, Edelson believes. And now — more than 3 decades later — he believes it more than ever.

“To this day, nothing has been more inspirational, and foundational, in my life.”
Censorship had been defeated.
But in 2025, it remains an ever-present threat. Jimmy Kimmel was one of the most recent examples.
He won’t be the last.

Sal Liccione was the first reader to answer last week’s Photo Challenge.
He was correct: JD Dworkow’s image showed the entrance to a small apartment building behind Jeera Thai and Finalmente restaurants, on the Post Road. The entrance is on Church Lane. (Click here to see.)
Sal should know. It’s behind his own apartment, opposite Bedford Square.
Two other readers — both of whom do not live in the area — knew the location too: Amy Schneider and Seth Schachter.

A reader writes: “I shopped at Stop & Shop for 58 years. It’s the best: extraordinary variety, excellent staff, nice customers.
“As I got older, I migrated to home delivery. I was an engineer for 51 years, and until last week the service and quality were at aerospace level. For the last 3 years, I’ve been awed by the precision and speed with which weekly orders were delivered to our doorstep.
“They were packed in a Norwalk facility, and delivered from there. Every driver was cooperative, helpful and well trained. They should be working for SpaceX.
“Two weeks ago, Stop & Shop emailed that they are migrating to a third party delivery service.
“Last night we received the first attempt. It was 3 hours later. Four items were missing out of 24, totaling $28 of the $86 order. They were delivered in soggy, torn paper bags.
“I called the home delivery number this morning at 9, and was 9th in line. I called back at 10, and was 23rd in line.
“I then contacted the Greens Farms manager. He apologized, offered a shopping certificate, and delivery of the missing items today. We’re grateful.
“Their new service may be at the low end of what could be an uncomfortable learning curve. It’s sad to see such a beautiful service vanish. For all our sakes, I wish Stop & Shop the best in fixing the problem.”
The Saugatuck Congregational Church — white, steepled, set far back on a massive lawn, a few steps from downtown — looks straight out of a Hallmark New England movie.
It was in those pews, in 1835, that a group of men hammered out the details that created the town of Westport from parts of Norwalk, Weston and Fairfield.
But it did not happen exactly there.
From its founding in 1822 through August 28, 1950, the 200-ton Saugatuck Church was located diagonally across the street, where the Shell station is now.
That year — in a day-long move so impressive it was documented by Life magazine — the church was rolled across State Street to its present site.
Yesterday — 75 years and 2 months after the move — Saugatuck Church celebrated that momentous occasion. The event included a (much smaller) re-enactment of the move, food trucks, a bounce house, lawn games, a screening of footage from the move, and a few words from Rev. Steven Savides.

From looking back, to looking ahead: The Westport Library Store holiday shop opened yesterday.
And it’s bigger than ever. This year, the Writing Center on the main level has been transformed into the popular marketplace for gifts.
It’s filled with scarves, hates and gloves; jewelry; home
décor like bells, candles and chimes; lanterns and lights; journals, notebooks and notepads; puzzles and games; sketchbooks, coloring books, pens, markers, watercolors — and (of course) more.
All purchases are tax-free. Proceeds support Library services and programs.
The Westport Garden Club has beautified Westport for over 100 years. They do their work quietly. Many people have no idea they even exist.
But the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut does.
The other day, at a lunch attended by 320 gardeners from around the state, they earned an Award of Excellence in Flower Achievement, for their “Westport Town Treasures” show.
Singled out were president Nathalie Fonteyne, and show co-chairs Kelle Ruden and Kara McKenna Wong. Citations were presented to Joellen Bradford for the Best Education Division, Ann Lester (Best Design Division), Joanne Heller (Outstanding Staging), and Ellen Greenberg (for design of the commemorative program (with art by Kerstin Rao.)
The club also received The Mary Loncin Flower Show Award. and a check for $100 for the top evaluated Standard Flower Show in Connecticut.
Individual honors (not flower show-related) went to Susan Nettesheim, who redesigned and maintains the club’s website, and serves as official photographer; Dottie Fincher, a member since 1971, for her exceptional contributions to the annual plant sale over many years, and Katje Donovan, for over 20 years of service as treasurer.
The Westport Garden Club is now planning their annual wreath designs for town buildings, preparing for winter in their 7 public gardens, and developing the 2026 Youth Poetry Contest. For more information, including membership, click here.

A few years ago, Danya Herman met Dr. Tom Catena. He’s a missionary doctor, doing important humanitarian work in war-torn Sudan.
The other day, Danya hosted Dr. Tom in her Westport home. He was joined by Dr. Jon Fielder, another missionary doctor and co-founder of African Mission Healthcare,
“It was so inspiring to hear Dr. Tom’s story, the hardships he and the Mother of Mercy hospital face, the countless lives he’s saved and impacted, and to get to talk with someone living a true life of purpose,” Danya says.
“He and Dr. Fielder are heroes to my family. They represent how, through their faith and sense of purpose, they live out our Jewish values of pikuach nefesh (preservation of life), and tikkun olam (repairing the world).

Raising a child today is challenging. It is especially so when that youngster has special needs.
Ali Wachtel moved to Westport nearly 8 years ago. Today, she shares an inspiring story about her son Nate, and the Westport Public Schools. She writes:
When I moved here in December of 2017, I did not know how lucky I was. My son Nate was 18 months old.
I knew in my bones that he was autistic. What I did not know was that I had just moved to a town that could, and would, support him.
On Nate’s 3rd birthday, he had his very first day at Stepping Stones Preschool.
Nate’s first year at Stepping Stones.
Nate was not just mildly affected. He was non-verbal.
I was not sure he would ever be able to communicate with us in the way every parent dreams. As I was new to the world of special education, the team at Stepping Stones walked me through every step of the IEP (Individualized Education Plan) process.
Together we crafted a strategy for Nate to develop the necessary skills to access the academic curriculum.
Nate and his mother, Ali Wachtel, as she read to his Stepping Stones class …
Three years later, Nate graduated and moved on to Long Lots Elementary. To my delight, he matriculated into the general ed classroom. A dream of mine had come to fruition.
Nate still required a great deal of support. He is in the IR (Intensive Resource) program, which means he has 1-to-1 paraprofessional support. He is pulled out for reading, writing and math support to this day, in addition to participating in social skill building groups.
There is not a single area in which Nate does not require support. But it is all given to him.
I am writing this not solely as a co-chair of the Westport Special Education PTA, nor as an advocate for children who receive SpEd services, but as a proud parent.
Like so many I navigated this process, armed with little if any information or insight, and terrified that this outcome would never be an option for my child.
Yet 5 years later, on October 17, my incredible young boy was invited to return to Stepping Stones preschool to read aloud in his former teacher’s class.
… and Nate in October, reading to another Stepping Stones class. (Photos/Andy Fleischman)
This has, in no small way, been made possible by Westport’s dedicated educators.
My son who walked into Stepping Stones 7 years ago without the ability to speak, returned a confident 4th grade reader who shared his experiences in the Westport school system with a group of 5-year-old pre-school students.
To say this moment was the honor of my life is an understatement. It is all thanks to our good fortune in having moved to the town of Westport.
So thank you Westport, for granting me my annual birthday wish and prayer that one day my child would be able to express himself.
