From the FPDCT:

Today, Fairfield Chief Robert Kalamaras signed off on the radio one final time, a time-honored tradition in law enforcement that marks the close of a distinguished career. This symbolic gesture allows fellow officers, dispatchers, and department staff to offer their well-wishes over the airwaves.

While his official last day as Chief is this Wednesday, today the department gathered to celebrate Chief Kalamaras’s 25 years of dedicated service to the Fairfield Police Department. Throughout his career, he has led with integrity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to the Fairfield community.

As part of the tradition, officers joined Chief Kalamaras in a walk down Reef Road to Colony Grill, where friends and colleagues came together to congratulate him and celebrate his decades of service.

In his final sign-off, Chief Kalamaras left his officers with a simple, powerful message: "Take care of each other."

Verso Studios at The Westport Library Honored with Four Telly Awards, Recognizing Achievement in Television and Video

All four awards were given in the general-student category, recognizing the Library’s Crew Call program

Westport, CT - In 2021, Verso Studios, the media arm of The Westport Library, kicked off its Crew Call program to give community members the opportunity to be trained in live, hands-on video production.

Just four short years later, they’re already bringing home hardware.

Crew Call was recently honored with four Telly Awards, earning three silvers and one bronze in the general-student category for its production of Library events.

The Telly Awards showcase the best work created within television and across video, for all screens, encompassing efforts from advertising agencies, television stations, production companies, and publishers from around the world. The awards recognize work that has been created on behalf of a client, for a specific brand and/or company, or self-directed as a creative endeavor. There are more than 13,000 entries annually for the Telly Awards, from six continents and all 50 states.

The silver medals were awarded for “Read to Grow: 25 Years of Building Literacy from Birth”; “Andrew Wilk Presents, The Westport Library Medical Series Part III: Cardiac Valve Disease”; and “The Night a Library Got Stoned,” which celebrated Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards receiving the Governor’s Award of Excellence at The Westport Library.

The bronze medal was awarded for “BOOKED for the evening with Billie Jean King.”

Crew Call began as a six-week training course led by Emmy Award-winning Verso Studios Video Producer David Bibbey. The idea was to train the Crew Call community members in a live, hands-on environment, recording and editing the programming and events produced on the Library’s Trefz Forum stage and occasionally on location.

“Our mission is to create content for the community, by the community, and share it with the world,” Bibbey said.

The Crew Call program welcomes community participants from all levels of experience and age, with participants currently ranging from 14 to 80. Complimented by a world-class programing department and audio recording team, an ever-growing number of its participants have weekly opportunities for hands-on training in production.

“Having just come back from the US Open and then working and being trained as crew for an event featuring Billie Jean King, I mean, hello, who gets to do that?!” said Eva Slossberg, a Crew Call high school student.

Said Westport Library Executive Director Bill Harmer: “Crew Call is an absolute success in every way. It fulfills a critical component of our mission as a library by offering hands-on training and practical skills, and it engages our community members in an actionable way. Crew Call is such an important part of making our in-person and online experiences first-rate. We absolutely couldn’t do what we do without their great work.”

Although there are occasional off-site video production training activities, Verso Studios training is primarily for video production of live, on-stage events.

“The program is an opportunity for teens to seniors to gain real-world experience in video recording and live production in a real Broadcast Control Room setting,” said Bibbey.

Here’s a fun and timely fact: After the Wimbledon tournament is over, used tennis balls are upcycled into homes for harvest mice. Approximately 55,000 balls are used each year, and instead of being discarded, many are donated to conservation groups. These groups modify the balls by creating an entrance and mounting them on poles in grasslands and hedgerows, providing safe and weatherproof nests for the mice. 🐭 🎾
