During a meeting with Millport Apartments residents last week, members of the New Canaan Housing Authority noted that the locals could watch them present to the Town Council meeting on Wednesday on a big building project planned for the public housing complex on Channel 79. A man who lives in a Housing Authority property advised those in attendance: “I’ve seen those Town Council meetings on TV. If you can’t get to sleep, watch five or 10 minutes of those and it will knock you out.”

Speaking of the Town Council, the group’s gregarious chairman, Bill Walbert, was among those honored Thursday in Stamford as an “influential local community leader” by the Boy Scouts of America at the annual Greater Stamford Good Scout Dinner. We’re hearing that New Canaan had a strong showing at the dinner, anchored in part by longtime Boy Scouts supporter Karl Chevrolet. ***
The Park & Recreation Commission on Wednesday voted 6-1 with one abstention in favor of expanding its support for listing Waveny on the National Register of Historic Places from just Waveny House to the entire park, including grounds and outbuildings.
