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.

Rik

<dd>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.

<dd>&nbsp;<br><br>

<dd>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?

<dd>&nbsp;<br><br>

<dd>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.&nbsp;

<dd>&nbsp;<br><br>

<dd>Scrap the new rules. There is no problem at Compo Beach, this is truly a non-issue. Only problem is in the minds of bored people with not enough to do and the effects of their itinerary.
