After the RTM approved buying the Kowalsky gravel pit for 200000 as a bulky waste site, neighbor Barbara Fry launched a petition drive for a townwide referendum. She needs 1444 signatures by next Tuesday to force a vote, with 67 already collected and 14 volunteers aiding the effort amid ongoing litigation against the sale.
In Westport a misaddressed package delivered eight Toulouse grey goslings and one yellow gosling to the registry. The Minnesota origin shipment lacked food and water. The post office sought a home, contacting the Mid Fairfield County Youth Museum and a Lake Zoar day camp before a taker was found for the brood.

Westport garbage workers plan to oppose a retroactive $1 per cubic yard bulky waste dumping fee at a public hearing Monday night in the Town Courtroom. The fee, on the books eight years but unenforced, would begin the first of this month if selectmen approve. Longtime collector Joe Cusco argues the charge is unfair and misapplied, especially for cardboard mixed with other refuse at the transfer station behind the police HQ, complicating who pays. He also says transfer station operator Robert Tomasky makes rough estimates on cardboard deliveries and fears the move signals a broader dumping-fee agenda for collectors.
