As Westport prepares for the holiday season, merchants urge: “Please shop local! Choose us over the internet!”
it’s not the first time they’ve made that request.
Nearly 80 years ago — in 1947 — illustrator Howard Munce drew this map of Main Street and State Street (Post Road) retailers.
It was headlined: “Shop Westport First.”
It’s hard to see all the stores. I’m not sure if any of them are still here.
But you get the idea. They’ll last a lot longer if we give them our business.

Sure, it’s almost Thanksgiving. But fall foliage continues to hang on in Westport … and to awe us.
We give thanks for this spectacular scene on Highland Road — and to JD Dworkow, for capturing it as today’s “Westport … Naturally feature photo.
And finally … on this date in 1877, Thomas Edison announced his invention of the phonograph: a machine that could record and play sound.
On this same date in 1959, disc jockey Alan Freed — the man who popularized the term “rock and roll” — was fired by New York’s WABC radio. He was alleged to have participated in a payola scandal.

Creativity, passion, entrepreneurship, risk — and $25,000 — were on the line last night.
A full house packed the Westport Library’s Trefz Forum, for StartUp Westport’s first-ever Pitch Competition.
Two healthcare companies, a tax platform for college athletes, a healthy and environmentally conscious mushroom-based snack, and a new marketplace for wheels were the 5 ideas pitched by eager teams of young hopefuls, in a “Shark Tank”-like scenario.
The 4 judges — all experienced entrepreneurs — headed off stage, to deliberate.
The audience used a QR code, for their own (non-binding) vote. The wheels marketplace — WheelPrice — edged out a device that personalizes and simplifies breast cancer detection, 34% to 31%.
The judges stepped back on stage. They agreed: WheelPrice won the $20,000 non-dilutive first prize.
But all the entrepreneurs were winners. The other 4 split the remaining $5,000.
Energy was high, in the half hour before the formal pitches began. The 5 finalists each had a table.
They’d been culled from 77 applicants, and semi-finalists. For months they’d honed their ideas, and been mentored by StartUp Westport volunteers.
Criteria included a pre-institutional funding round; an existing corporation in an evaluable category; a Connecticut-based founder or strong state association, and a scalable business model.
Each hopeful had 6 minutes to pitch judges Kira Vanderwert, Kal Amin, Matt Gorin and Cliff Sirlin — all experienced venture investors — and 6 minutes to answer probing questions about the problem being addressed, market size, revenue model, competitive advantage and more.
A team from the University of Connecticut pitched ChromaShield. The wearable patch and monitoring platform reduces complications of skin damage from chemotherapy, like radiation dermatitis and foot ulcers.
ChromaShield
Nexa Tax, created by a former University of Bridgeport athlete, is an app that helps college athletes manage the tax aspects of their “name, image and likeness” earnings. As the number of those students grows, their tax burdens will too. But, the founder says, too few of those athletes know how to handle them.
Nexa Tax
Mirabelle — “breast health, in your hands” — is a device by which women can detect and monitor themselves for breast cancer. It’s also a tool for healthcare providers in underserved areas. The founders, with Cornell University roots, added humor to the serious nature of their company (they call beta testers “the titty committee”).
Mirabelle
WheelPrice addressed a problem unknown to many in audience: how to manage the marketplace for car wheels. Like sneakers and watches, it’s a niche filled with fanatics. But right now, the UConn founder says, there are 620,000 wheels listed online “chaotically.” His platform “reinvents the wheel … marketplace.”
WheelPrice
NeuroPuffs were created by Yale University graduate students. The product — mushrooms and upcycled food waste, dried using a special process, coated in real powdered cheese, and packed in compostable bags — provides “guilt-free snacking.” They’re “good for the brain, kind to the planet.”
NeuroPuffs
The decision was tough, the judges said. All the ideas were “impressive, inspiring, and solving real problems.”
But WheelPrice had the best business model. It seemed the most scalable. Its pitch was most impressive.

Still: Keep your eye out for the other 4 startups too.
The crowd of 400 included many fellow entrepreneurs — and investors.
The wheels in their heads were turning, as each founder gave their pitch.

For months, non-profits across the country have been battered.
The Trump administration has slashed funding — or eliminated it entirely — for a vast array of services: youth, international aid, health and wellness, immigration, environmental, civil rights, housing, food, education, arts.
Some organizations have severely cut programs, and/or laid off staff. Some have closed entirely.
Many Americans want to help. But it’s hard to know which groups are affected.
There has been no central resource to identify exactly which programs need help.
Until now.
Charity Bridge Fund is a new non-partisan initiative. It closes the gap created by reduced federal funding.
And one of its key players is a Westporter.
Content and communications manager Isabelle Pieper — a Staples High School Class of 2014 graduate — has a background in strategic planning and analysis. In her higher education career, she managed high-level donor and board operations, and generated campaign strategy.
Isabelle Pieper
She is excited by her new opportunity at Charity Bridge. It’s a way to combine her interest in charitable giving, with her work in technology.
It’s also a chance to work with the organization’s founder and executive director, Kendall Webb. The Weston resident also started More.com, an early e-commerce sites, and Just Give, one of the internet’s first non-profit donation platforms.
Pieper talks to individual donors and donor advised funds.
She does outreach too to organizations across the country. They’re all sizes — from large ones like Save the Children, to much smaller ones like a tribal electrification project.
The Underground Railroad Education Center in Albany, New York has lost employees, and seen programs halted.
Charity Bridge is also working with 2 media outlets: New York Public Radio and Rocky Mountain Public Media.
Pieper is excited that, though still in its nascent stage, the fund has secured a matching grant. All donations up to $10,000 will be equaled, through November.
The first distribution of funds will be made next month.
Charity Bridge already lists 68 projects. Donors can search the site by category to find one or more that resonate, or seem particularly noteworthy or needed.
There is no fee to be listed.
“We’re a non-profit ourselves,” Pieper notes. Charity Bridge will apply for grants to cover their own operational expenses. Donors can also tip Charity Bridge, during the checkout process.
The biggest challenge — one familiar to every non-profit — is finding donors, and getting them to respond.
Meanwhile, whatever funds they raise for non-profits in need will not be enough.
“People will see the effects of the services they’ll lose very quickly. Non-profits make a difference in every community,” Pieper says.
“The current cuts will cause a ripple effect for generations to come,” she adds.
And those ripples will continue to spread. The Trump administration has signaled that more cuts lie ahead, in the next fiscal year.
“06880” culture correspondent Robin Moyer Chung says:
MoCA\CT’s latest exhibit, “Enough Already: Women Artists from the Sara M. and Michelle Vance Waddell Collection,” composed of highlights from the collection of 2 women from Cincinnati, is described as “politically charged.”
I don’t see it that way.
Perhaps because I arrived carrying the weight of a 4-hour antisemitism presentation, or perhaps because every day’s cursory review of the news bristles with negative rhetoric vying for our trepidation.
Instead, it felt exuberant. If the ebullient mood at the opening is any indication, I’m not the only one who feels this way.
Admiring “Picnic on Wine,” by Sandy Skoglund, at MoCA\CT.
On the wall in the last room of the exhibit is a question for viewers: “What have you had enough of?”
Scrawled on numerous papers are the words “patriarchy,” “politics,” “judgment.” On one paper is written: “Having to make a delicious dinner EVERY. DAMN. NIGHT OF MY LIFE.”
First, solidarity. Second, this struck me as an apt description of this exhibit. It’s less about “enough already,” and more about “I can make a delicious meal every night.”
There are things we have to do, everyday life stuff like cooking dinner every night. We can (well, many of us can) choose to make it delicious or not. Artists can choose to illustrate their everyday life as stuff worth living, or not. In this case, many chose the former.
When they embraced mundane challenges of womanhood, I saw power, one that is independent of beauty, money or influence.
And I think that’s the point. The overarching politicality of being a woman has been successfully addressed in art, and now women are free to granulize their lives without fear (or care) of denigration.
Whether it’s their bodies, their illnesses or their sexualization, they own and appreciate what belongs exclusively to them as individuals. They’re owning the male narrative, and re-shaping it.
Though the title alludes to exasperation, named after a neon sign by Deborah Kass, I found the exhibit, with a few violent exceptions, more celebratory than defiant. Kass’s sign itself is colorful and flamboyant, belying frustration and signaling optimistic decisiveness.
One of the most dynamic pieces is a large photo of a nude female statue raising her left arm, a scar where her left breast used to be (“Intra-Venus.” Marina Vargas, 2021).
She may be raising her arm to offer a full view of her mastectomy, but it seems more an expression of jubilance; she’s a breast cancer survivor, not a woman with a perceived imperfection.
A small marble stool (“Survival Series, 1983-1985,” Jenny Holzer) includes an inscription “It is in your self-interest to find a way to be very tender.” Motherly, womanly, advice for children and loved ones, fingers crossed they’ll follow it. Yet the weight and immobility of the marble indicates its substance — this is spelled out in a nurturing tone for palatability, but its hardcore prophetic, as is most delicately relayed motherly advice.
The Vance Wadells began purchasing these works 20 years ago, intentionally mixing acclaimed artists (Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Yoko Ono) with emerging artists to amplify lesser known voices.
Ironically, Yoko Ono’s felt like the least impactful work (“Touch Me,” 2008) — a primed canvas, 12 x 12, with a cross section cut in the center. Its message is either histrionically obvious or lost on me.
Important question, though. What have you had enough of, and what can you do with that energy?

A fundraiser hosted by the Westport Firefighters Charitable Foundation helped raise funds to replace outdated Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).
Now, the Westport Volunteer Emergency Medical Service has purchased 50 state-of-the-art Philips units for Westport’s first responders.
The total project cost is $62,020.
$25,000 raised by the Westport Firefighters Charitable Foundation will be transferred to Westport EMS to fund the Fire Department’s portion.
Westport Volunteer Emergency Medical Service covered the remaining balance.
Fire Chief Nick Marsan says, “These new AEDs significantly strengthen our emergency response capabilities. When someone is in cardiac arrest, every second counts. Ensuring our first responders have the most reliable tools available is a commitment to the safety and well-being of our community.”
Of course, donations to WVEMS — who are responsible for raising funds for everything from ambulances to Band-Aids — are always welcome. Click here to help.
Michael Diggin writes: “For the first time, I (plus another dozen cars) was driving around Saugatuck this morning just before 8 a.m., futilely seeking permit parking between the north railroad station platform and Riko’s Pizza.
“I never had reason to know about permit parking lot #7, located north of I-95. It’s off the one-way Franklin Street, just before Ketchum Street.
“You have likely previously let folks know about it. But perhaps this map may help other people know where park when unexpectedly pressed. Clearly folks are now back in their offices.”
Just in time for cold weather — and Hanukkah — The Blondiniit has enclosed their outdoor pergola.
Church Lane may no longer be closed to traffic. But outside dining is still available.
And fun.

Staples High School Class of 2022 graduate Hector Emmanuelli died last Friday. He was 25.
His obituary says, “Since birth, Hector was a guerrero, a fighter. He defied the odds after being born, weighing just 413 grams at 24 weeks, alongside his quadruplet siblings: Jimena, Chantal and Michelle. Fearless and resilient, he lived every day to the fullest.
“Hector loved to travel to see family in Mexico and Costa Rica. He was quite a comelón, loving all kinds of food, especially plátano, corn bread, and ice cream. He filled the house with music (like Ricky Martin and Baby Einstein), as he carried his iPad around to be wherever we gathered.”
His funeral was yesterday. Online condolences can be left here.
Former Westporter Hal Fass died Saturday, from a rare form of multiple myeloma. He was 68.
He graduated from Harpur College with a political science degree. He was active in the school’s radio station, and formed band (the Killer Tomatores). He met his wife Carole in college, when both were covering a Talking Heads show.
The family lived in Westport for nearly 25 years, before moving to the water in South Norwalk.
After earning an MBA at Baruch College, Hal worked in advertising and marketing. He traveled the globe for business, but spent every winter weekend in Vermont. He taught snowboarding at Okemo Mountain for almost 20 years.
Despite living for 5 years with cancer, Hal continued to travel, rode his Vespa and Triumph, wrote a screenplay, and formed a new band (The Clams).

Bob Weingarten sends today’s “Westport … Naturally” photo — and an explanation.
He writes: “You posted my article years ago on how to prevent deer on your property.
“This morning I saw a deer on my lawn next to an owl figure. In my piece I said they would not stay near an owl, even a statue.
“But this deer stayed for hours near it. So my prior statement was incorrect!”
It’s nice that Westport attracts high-end national chains. They bring a certain cachet to town.
But they don’t make this place go.
Small businesses are both the economic driver and the emotional heart of 06880.
Savvy + Grace. JL Rocks. Stephen Kempson. Earth Animal. Calise’s Deli. The Grapevine. WEST. Westport Hardware. Organic Market. Party Harty. Your favorite restaurant (except McDonald’s).
Those are the places where everyone knows your name. Where they know your preferences. Where we go when we need a program ad, a raffle or auction item, a flyer in the window.
Behind all that are small business owners struggling to stay, well, in business. They have rents to pay, payrolls to meet, town regulations to follow — and of course, the very real battle to convince customers to buy from them, and not online.
AI — the technological marvel that has transformed education, healthcare, big business and many other areas of modern life — can help small businesses too.
But most owners are so busy doing all the things noted above, they don’t have time to figure out what AI can do for them.
Plus: As good as artificial intelligence is, it’s global in scale. It works by scraping up an unfathomable amount of information from everywhere, then figuring out patterns of words and phrases.
AI knows what’s going on around the planet. It does not necessarily know what’s happening on the Post Road.
Until now.
Westport resident Jay Norris has a long and successful career in business, real estate and technology. He’s been a board member of the Westport Library and Westport Weston Family YMCA.
He knows the town. He knows AI. And he knows how both can work together.
Norris’ newest venture is ThoughtPartnr. The AI model is designed to help small and mid-size businesses streamline operations, make informed decisions, create content, and accelerate growth.
And its national rollout is taking place right here in Westport.
Yesterday, Norris and his ThoughtPartnr team joined the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce at The Clubhouse. Several dozen members learned how the “local language model” — as opposed to the more familiar “large language model” — can help their own businesses and ventures use Chamber and community data to assist with marketing, operations, compliance, funding and growth.
Someone thinking of opening a new restaurant here might, for example, find all the steps needed through ThoughtPartnr — including links to all permits needed.
Chamber of Commerce attendees were intrigued. They were particularly impressed when a Friends of Sherwood Island board member asked how, specifically, ThoughtPartnr could help find grants, and raise funds.
Matt Snow typed in that prompt. Almost instantly — on The Clubhouse’s big screen, for all to see — the local AI delivered a host of resources: the Westport Woman’s Club, environmental organizations, and along with advice on how to apply for state grants, links to applications, and much more.
The difference between those responses and ChatGPT, say, is that the latter would provide much more generic information, based on how a non-profit in general could get grants.

AI of any kind is clearly helpful. But it can hallucinate. And sometimes, users need human help.
That is one more element to ThoughtPartnr. Subscribers gain access to real, live local experts, who can answer questions, build on suggestions, and leverage the AI information even more personally.
Westport Chamber of Commerce director Matthew Mandell announced that members will have free use of ThoughtPartnr from now to the end of 2026.
They’ll be part of a big rollout. With Mandell’s help, Norris hopes to network with Chambers of Commerce around the country.
He’s starting small, in his home town.
But he has large plans. And he can make them succeed.
Among Norris’ many hats: He chairs the Technology and Innovation Council for the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce.
Today, Westport. Tomorrow, New York.
And then: small businesses, all across the country.
On Sunday, the Staples High School boys soccer team won the state championship.
It was the 13th in the program’s storied history — but the first since 2009.
That’s a heroic achievement.
But there is so much more to the story that makes the 2025 Wreckers our Unsung Heroes of the Week.

For more than 8 months — from late October through early July — the program was engulfed in chaos.
A town-wide controversy over the non-renewal of the contracts of head coach Russell Oost-Lievense, and equally popular freshman coach Chris O’Dell, threatened to upend 67 years of tradition, high standards and success.
For more than 8 months, the Staples boys soccer program had no leader.
No adult leader, that is.
Into the breach strode the rising seniors.
They were confused, hurt — and angry. They felt disrespected, unheard.
But instead of complaining, these teenagers acted like the adults in the room.
The 4 incoming captains — Gabe Duque, Gabe Hellmann, Drew Hill and Dylan Shackelford — took the reins.
Captains (from left): Gabe Hellmann, Drew Hill, Dylan Shackelford, Gabe Duque. (Photo/Melissa Garrity)
They made sure the off-season weight room program ran smoothly.
They coached themselves in the Norwalk summer league — and won it all, with an undefeated record.
They ran the in-town summer Watermelon Cup league for current players and alumni, all on their own. For decades past, that had been the head coach’s job.
They kept key players from leaving the program, to play instead for outside “academy” club teams. It would have been easy to abandon the coach-less Staples program, with an uncertain future. But no one did.
In an era when too few teenagers know how, or even want, to lead, the 4 captains did so with maturity, wisdom and strength.
They were not afraid to talk about Staples soccer’s values and expectations. They held their teammates accountable.
They kept the program intact.
Staples players — Norwalk Summer League champions — with the first of 3 medals they earned this year.
Just as crucially, the rest of the team bought into it all.
Other leaders emerged. Younger players followed.
When Liam Witham was named head coach in early July, he met with the captains. They were excited. They embraced him, and together they led the team forward.
And they did it without abandoning their support and admiration for the non-renewed coaches. It was a difficult balance. Yet these teenagers did it, with grace and aplomb.
The Wreckers had a storybook season. All the ingredients for success — talent, speed, physicality, high soccer IQs, passion, poise, chemistry and heart — were there.
Still, success was not a given. They had to earn it.
And earn it they did, with a convincing march through the regular season, and the FCIAC (league) and state tournaments. Winning double championships had been done only 7 times before, by Staples boys soccer teams.
State champs! (Photo/John Walker)
On Sunday — after their decisive 3-0 win over Greenwich — the players hugged and high-fived exuberantly.
They were celebrating their state championship, sure. But — without realizing it — they were celebrating too the joy of setting a goal, committing to it, and achieving it, with tons of hard work, the maturity to look forward instead of back, and the unwavering support of each other.
This week’s Unsung Heroes award goes to the 4 captains, and all their teammates, on the 2025 Staples boys soccer team.
But calling them “boys” does not do this squad justice.
Over the past year, they proved themselves to be men.
