As we look to celebrate the first Valentine’s Day of the new decade, I am nostalgic when I think about what the town of Westport means to me.
Not only is it where my husband grew up, it’s where we had our first date (Splash), it’s where we had our wedding (The Inn at Longshore), where we’ve celebrated countless birthdays with friends, run in the Minute Man Race and spent many lazy days at the beach.
Like many people, we’ve made a tradition out of attending the fireworks at Compo Beach on the 4th of July, and brought our son for the first time as a baby last summer (photo No. 1).
Shortly after that we hosted his very memorable first birthday party “by the cannons,” (photo No. 2 is my extended family) it was so wonderful to share with them a place that means so much to us as a family!

Green Talk: Only Testing Will Tell
By Wendy G. Batteau
What goes down comes up in the water cycle. For the thousand residences in Westport getting their water from private wells, this principle has important consequences. ![]()
Anything discharged on or into the ground may show up in what comes out of the faucet.
The cumulative impact that contaminated well water can have on human health is of real concern, but homeowners can protect their families through periodic well testing.
Testing well water is the way to know what is in it. If problems are found, the solution may be as simple as using an appropriate filter.

Green Talk: Growing the “Fresh” Movement
Editor’s note: today WestportNow launches the first bi-weekly column from Westport’s Green Village Initiative (GVI), a grassroots group working to make Westport a model green community. The first topic: growing the “fresh” movement.
By Monique Bosch
We all seem to be waking up to the fact that our food system is an obese consumer of fossil fuels. ![]()
In our industrial food system, it takes an estimated 10 calories of energy from fossil fuels to generate one calorie of food.
One study has shown that the industrial food system contributes more to global warming than anything else.
As eaters, we decide three times every day how we want to eat.
