When she purchased a new Tesla Model Y in November of 2023, the Westport woman was pleased.
She no longer had to buy gas. It was easy to maintain. The cost was only about $40,000.
“It was a no-brainer,” the woman — who asked that her name not be used — says.
Tesla Model Y
As he joined the Trump administration, the woman knew that Elon Musk — Tesla’s CEO — was “a potential danger as a human being.” But, she says, “I never thought he’d have as much power as he does.”
In the first days after the inauguration, she says, “I joked, ‘I gotta get rid of this car.’ But as he ramped up his slash-and-burn, I didn’t want to be attached to him in any way. He’s evil.”
Three weeks ago, she found a Hyundai Tucson hybrid. She sold her Tesla.
Hyundai Tucson
Worldwide, owners are talking about selling their Musk-related automobiles. This is one local woman who actually did.
“I don’t want to make a grand statement,” she insists. “I just wanted to feel better.”
No one ever said anything to her about her Tesla. No one flipped her off, or keyed her car.
Still, she says, “I didn’t want to become a target. I didn’t want controversy. There shouldn’t be controversy about the car you drive.”
But something else about her Tesla made her uneasy, beyond the company CEO’s actions she loathes.
Beginning in December, her Tesla’s menu of radio stations and podcasts suddenly changed.
There — sprinkled among her presets and favorites — were options like Ben Shapiro, Sean Hannity and “Fox & Friends.”
They’d probably been there before, she says, but much lower on the list. “I would have had to scroll way down to find them.”
She found the sudden appearance of right-wing shows “creepy. It can’t be a coincidence.”
The Westporter is happy with her Hyundai. It recharges itself. She can go 400 miles on a tank of gas.
Yet if she had a chance to meet Elon Musk, and talk face to face, what would she say?
“I just want him to stay in his lane,” she says.
“He’s a smart guy. He’s good with technology. But he’s been given so much power, because he gave Trump so much money.
“Why can’t he just stick with what he’s good at?”

We hailed the founder of Facebook’s “What Up Westport” for her regular “Social Media Experiments.” Over 7 years, she’d run more than 2 dozen pop-up collections.
Thanks to Marcy’s posts and persistence, generous residents have donated food for pantries; hats, gloves and socks during winter months; prom dresses; school supplies; Puerto Rico hurricane relief diapers; support for Parkland High School after a shooting; a yearly holiday gift drive, for which people shop in stores or scour their drawers for gifts kids can give to their parents; even a band instrument fhat brought in over 150 trumpets, trombones and more, for Bridgeport youngsters who loved to play but could not afford them.
Marcy Sansolo, mid-collection at the Imperial Avenue parking lot.
Now Marcy has embarked on another collection. This stime, she’s joined by another Unsung Hero: a local business.
The Gillespie Center food pantry needs help. This Sunday (March 23, 11 a.m. to 12 noon), she and Martha Deegan will collect items at the Imperial Avenue parking lot.
They ask for canned beans, meats, veggies, fruit, pasta, rice, peanut butter, condiments and spices, along with dish soap, paper towels, dish soap and sponges. (No Costco-sized items, due to space constraints).
Supermarket gift cards are also welcome.
Speaking of supermarkets: The Fresh Market manager offered Marcy a great price — if she purchased 100 pounds of meat and chicken, or more.
She put a request on social media for people to cover the cost of the meat. In less than 10 hours, she exceeded the goal.
Yesterday, Marcy bought 100 pounds of meat, and another 100 pounds of chicken, for the Gillespie Center.

“Mark, Mike, El and Gabby were the stars at Fresh Market,” says. “They couldn’t have been more helpful or kinder.
“Not only are they packing everything in 1-pound parcels — they are delivering it as well.
They also gave Marcy 3o packets of spices, and the promise of dairy and produce.
“I’m at a loss for words,” the normally very talkative civic volunteer says.
Marcy looks forward to seeing a great turnout at the Imperial Avenue parking lot on Sunday. “It’s such a great sense of community,” she says.
She offers this quote, which has always stuck with her: “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect with our fellow men.”
Marcy and Fresh Market: Thanks for all you do. You are his week’s Unsung Heroes!

Earlier this month, the Democratic Town Committee’s nominating committee interviewed 4 “excellent” candidates for this November’s first selectperson election. It’s an open seat, now that incumbent Jen Tooker is running for governor.
The nominating committee settled on 2 “very qualified” candidates to present to the full DTC. Board of Education member Kevin Christie was one. The other asked not to have their name put forward.
However, despite a previous announcement, the full DTC will not vote on a candidate next month. Instead, in July they’ll introduce Christie’s name. At that point, nominations can be made from the floor.
That information was offered to DTC members — and other attendees — at last night’s monthly Zoom meeting, by chair Michelle Mechanic.
Next month, the Democrats also begin interviewing candidates for all open board and commission seats.

Americans discard 20 million mattresses and box springs annually. That’s 55,000 that land in incinerators and landfills each day.
But up to 90% of old mattresses can be recycled into carpet pads, exercise equipment cushions, bike seats, insulation, air filters and steel materials.
Sustainable Westport can help. They’ll host a free mattress/ box spring recycling event on Saturday, April 26 (8:30 to 11:30 a.m., Earthplace).
Dry and unsoiled mattresses and box springs are welcome. Please do not bring those that are damaged, wet, or contaminated (bed bugs, etc.).
If you can’t bring your mattress or box spring, Westport Boy Scout Troop 36 will provide a pickup service for a small donation. Click here to sign up.

VersoFest is near. Time to take the Westport Library decibel level up another few notches.
Actually, more than that. On Saturday, April 5, the goal is to become the loudest library ever.
Starting at 10 a.m., visionary artist 5iveFingaz hosts a 90-minute celebration. It includes a rotating cast of DJs, “an electrifying fusion of music, art, and community, and the Library version of a primal scream.” (Plus doughnuts and beverages.)
“Our goal is to make this a true celebration and community experience, showcasing the transformative power of community and creativity,” says Westport Library executive director Bill Harmer.
“We want everyone to feel welcome, from our youngest patrons to our longtime music supporters. The emphasis here is on fun, and setting the right tone to what promises to be an incredible weekend of events at VersoFest 2025.”
The festival closes Sunday, April 6, with a VersoFest live podcast discussion between longtime David Letterman music director Paul Shaffer and SNL Beehive Queen Christine Ohlman.

Club203 celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in style last night.
The Westport Library was filled with smoke machines — and decked out in green — at a special karaoke night.
Westport’s social group for adults with disabilities enjoyed soda breads and honey buns donated by Cob’s Bread, green bagels from Village Bagels, and cookies Baked by Belle.
As always, there was plenty of volunteer support, and MoCA CT ran an art table.
Also yesterday: a presentation to the Westport Rotary Club by Catalyst CT CEO and president Marc Donald.
The nonprofit began by combating teen substance abuse. It has since branched out into reducing gun violence, suicide prevention, and practicing restorative justice.
The organization trains police and security guards in Bridgeport and Fairfield public schools to help defuse potentially violent situations. They also partner with Park City Presents, helping familiarize Bridgeport teenagers with music production technology.

Just 3 days remain before Westport Pride’s annual drag show.
This year’s special guest is Patty Bourée. The 18+ event — with cocktails, songs and comedy — is Saturday (March 22, 7 p.m.) at The Knowlton, Bridgeport’s premier event space.
“Come dressed to spring eternal,” organizers say. And why not? It’s the second day of spring!

Recreation — sports, golf, racquets, the beaches, boating — is big in Westport.
As he settles in to his new position as Parks & Recreation Department director, Erik Barbieri is meeting with many stakeholders: staff, Park & Rec Commissioners, Public Works, Police and Fire Department, school officials, youth leaders, and more.
“I’m a team player,” he says.
He’s not kidding.
The Glastonbury native had a stellar soccer career at the University of Connecticut. He won numerous awards , culminating in 1994 Big East Player of the Year. Barbieri then played professionally with the minor league Connecticut Wolves.
Erik Barbieri, with UConn and sports memorabilia in his Westport office.
At the same time, the parks and recreation management major was embarking on his parks and recreation career.
Helped by a series of mentors — and secure in the knowledge that he was most comfortable in a hands-on, outdoors profession, not sitting in a cubicle — he rose through the ranks in New Britain.
Over 3 decades — culminating in 9 years as director — Barbieri managed 7 divisions. He oversaw parks, recreation, a golf course, a large stadium, cemeteries, senior and veteran services, and disability and youth programs. He completed 2 multimillion-d0llar capital improvement projects,
The only thing New Britain was missing was water.
With the mindset of an athlete — and a team player — the challenge of learning about beaches and marinas excites Barbieri.
Since starting his new position last month, the new director has explored our facilities, and tapped the insights of people like Rick Giunta, longtime marina director.

Barbieri had not been looking for a new gig. But the Westport position — vacant since Jen Fava resigned last spring — intrigued him.
The more he researched, the more he realized this town has outstanding facilities. It’s serious about recreation.
And there was plenty of work to be done.
The 10-year capital plan includes the renovation of Longshore. Replacing the maintenance facility is a high priority. There is a scarcity of athletic fields, several of which are overused and not up to high standards. Contracts — including the Compo Beach concession stand, and Longshore golf course maintenance and cart fleet company — expire soon.
New Britain’s self-described “jack of all trades” is excited to dig into every aspect of his new job.
“We’ve hit the ground not running, but sprinting,” he says. He’s learning about — and where necessary, taking fresh looks at — facilities, programs, and everything in between.
Take the maintenance facility and golf pro shop. Both have Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues. Machines and golf carts are stored outside, in the salt air.
Erik Barbieri’s “fresh eyes” will take a new look at Longshore, and all town recreational facilities.
“Westport has great people,” he says. His Parks & Rec staff, and those in Public Works — with whom his department works closely — “really make things happen.”
Returning to his “team player” analogy, Barbieri says “we have to prioritize needs. We’ll do it together: our staff, the first selectwoman, Public Works, Board of Finance — everyone.”
Also on his agenda: hiring a new parks superintendent. Michael West left that crucial role in January, to become assistant director in Ridgefield. Barbieri begins interviewing candidates for that position soon.
On his first day, Barbieri says, he told his staff: “I have an open door. Feedback is important.” He, Giunta and operations manager Carmen Roda, “are here to listen to you.” And, he emphasized, “community feedback is important.”
Barbieri calls himself “high energy. I like to get things done. There are good projects ahead, to make Westport an even better place than it already is.”

Staples High School’s Asian Students Association is raising funds to provide menstrual hygiene products to women who face challenges accessing those basic necessities. The World Bank estimates that number as high as 500 million women.
There is a local need too. The Staples group’s goal is to raise $1,000 for Homes with Hope. The non-profit runs Westport homeless shelter and food pantry (whose shelves include hygiene products).
The club is a part of Dear Asian Youth, a youth-led, global non-profit that promotes solidarity with other marginalized communities, and equality and equity. Click here to donate, and for more information.
Speaking of Staples: Mark DeRosa’s teaches drawing and animation classes there, along with an after-school comic book course called Graphicus that publishes an annual anthology.
Last weekend they presented their work at Southern Connecticut State University’s Indie Comics Creator Con. It drew over 175 creators from around the country, and included panels and discussions about making and publishing comics.
DeRosa’s students saw first hand the impact their creations have on comic fans of all ages. They were buoyed by guest appearances from 2 principals: Staples’ Stafford Thomas, and Bedford Middle School’s Adam Rosen.

Westport Country Playhouse artistic director Mark Shanahan is in rehearsal for “Theatre People.” The adaptation of the Hungarian play — set in 1948, in a Newport mansion — opens March 25.
But that’s not Shanahan’s only Hungarian connection. A play he adapted —Agatha Christie’s “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” — is currently on stage there.
“I’m told that even in another country and another language, the audience still gasps at the big reveal,” Shanahan says.
From blowing bebop with the Charles Mingus Band to improvising with Anthony Braxton, Michael Rabinowitz has changed conceptions of what a bassoon can do.

There’s a late winter chill on the Saugatuck River. But — as they do in all weather, all year long, and as today’s “Westport … Naturally” photo shows — Saugatuck Rowing Club athletes are ready to work.
And finally … happy 55th birthday to Queen Latifah!

For a great summer gathering, Compo’s South Beach is almost perfect.
The long swath of sand from the cannons to the kayak launch is filled with grills and picnic tables. Sunsets are gorgeous.
All we’re missing are fire pits.
Ta da!
Tomorrow night, the Parks & Recreation Commission hears a request from the Parks & Rec Department to offer fire pit rentals there, from May 1 through September 30.
A portable fire pit. This may not be the type our Parks & Recreation Department buys. And this sure is not a beach scene.
“It’s a natural addition to the amenities there,” explains Carmen Roda, Parks & Rec operations manager.
Two portable fire pits would be available to residents by reservation 7 days a week, from 4 to 10 p.m.
Users will be responsible for providing the wood (no pellets!) and starters.
Beach staff will monitor usage. At 10 p.m. they’ll cool the fire pits down, load them on golf carts, and store them securely.
Fire marshal Terry Dunn and the Westport Police Department were consulted, and support the initiative. Parks & Rec employees will be trained in fire pit usage.
The proposed fee is $150 a night.
(The Parks & Recreation Commission meeting is tomorrow — Wednesday, March 19 — at 7:30 p.m., via Zoom. The agenda also includes updates on the Parks Master Plan and Longshore Improvement Master Plan, and reports from the Golf, Racquets and Parks Advisory Committees.)
Disney’s “Snow White” — a live-action version of the 1937 animated Disney film “Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs” — opens in theaters on Friday (March 21).
It includes reimagined classics, and all new songs. What makes this “06880”-worthy is that the music is by Pasek & Paul.
The Westport half of that Emmy/Grammy/Oscar/Tony-winning duo is 2003 Staples High School graduate Justin Paul. They’ve already written the music and lyrics for (among others) “Dear Evan Hansen,” “La La Land” and “The Greatest Showman.”
Both are huge Disney fans. Click below to hear them discuss their work with “the one that started it all.”
Another Westport boldface name — Christian Soriano — is closing his local shop.
