Barr named first troubadour
William “Railroad Bill” Barr, with his wife, Nancy, left, receives a citation from Mayor Nancy R. Rossi for being appointed the honorary position of troubadour of West Haven during a ceremony Monday at City Hall. Reading the citation, Rossi said, “I join the great people of our city in admiring your passion for music, the arts and literacy ... and congratulate you on your appointment as the official city troubadour.” As West Haven’s first troubadour, Barr, a lifelong resident who lives on Court Street with his wife of 46 years, aims to foster cultural literacy through music. A prolific guitarist and singer, he has entertained audiences for decades across Connecticut and New England, including once serenading the Kennedy family at a reunion on Cape Cod. Barr is also renowned in the world of square dancing, having called about 9,000 events since the 1980s.
Storm drain stencilling
Resident Stacey Giaquinto participates in the city’s new Storm Drain Marking Project on Sunday at Campbell Avenue and Leete Street. The project aims to build awareness of the connection between what we put onto our yards, driveways and streets and what ends up in the water we use for recreation and as an environmental asset. Everything that goes into a city storm drain empties into a stream, river or Long Island Sound.
