Mr. Ware,
A person should never be referred to as "that".
It should be "who".
This is one of my "fingernail on a chalk board" things!
Anne
I am a regular guy, humble, hard-working with the Metro North monthly
ticket, up early and home late. I am not a member of PETA, or an activist at
the town meetings or one of these people that think dogs are people. I never
was disappointed in my Westport until now. What some might view as a
compromise is to my family a loss of one of the few town resources we can
use. Never before have I seen an issue forced through by the few wheeling
power in the face of strong opposition.
Scrap the new rules. There is no problem at Compo Beach, it is truly a
non-issue. The only problem is in the minds of bored people with not enough
to do and the effects of their tyranny.
Sincerely,
Michael Meltzer

Mark,
That was my "best guess" at what Michael was trying to say. Didn't know for
sure what it meant either. Actually didn't mean to send that back to the
list, but forgot to change the address before pushing the send button. Have
since reworded that and sent it again, back channel.

Michael,
Second line "ad fount" ????
last word, last paragraph, "ternary"
Give me a hint on these, please.
I am assuming that your Rooney must not be licensed in the town of Westport.
So now you can't legally bring the dog to the beach at all????
Made changes right in the letter. Should have a greeting, dear (whoever) and
at the end a sincerely, to close. You are sincere, aren't you???? :-)

Ok. I figured I would try to run it by the list first, see how it sell and
look for any ideas
how to punch it up, make it more powerful, persuasive, improve it or tone it
down,
over the top is nominal for the town :-) Not pound and would welcome any
additions or advice.
beside I rather start with a 100 people I know before 25,000 in town :-)
An Open Letter to the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Westport RTM
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I'm glad to hear the RTM will be reviewing the latest winter
regulation for Compo Beach. This is just another example of the
overregulation we've been seeing in your town. I find it ad fount to the
Connecticut Yankee spirit and to butcher a paraphrase "Another person's
paranoia should not be my problem". To the best of my knowlege there have
been no reported problems that demand a solution.
I have three Daughters aged 7, 5 and 1, and our favorite winter activity is
going to Compo Beach with our dog, I might add, with my wife's blessing,
after a long winter week. We run around, walk the dog, dig the sand, climb
the jetties, play fetch in the water, collect rocks and shells and generally
are a family. The girls love the playground. I, being a reasonable parent,
keep a watch on them all. Dozens of times a day little ones come to pet and
meet Rooney, our dog. We've done this for years, as have other parents, and
there has never been a problem. So what are these new rules about? Am I
going to be forced to break the law by having Rooney with me or to break the
law by not supervising the children. Or better yet maybe I should leave the
kids at the house while I take the Rooney to the beach? How much family time
do any of us have?
I am a normal guy, humble, hard working with the Metro North monthly ticket,
up early and home late. I am not a member of PETA, or an activist at the
town meetings. Nor, am I one of these folks that think dogs are people. I
have never been disappointed in Westport until now. Never before have I seen
an issue forced through by the few wielding power in the face of such strong
opposition.
Scrap the new rules. There is no problem at Compo Beach, this is truly a
