Mr. Ware,=20
A person should never be referred to as "that".=20
It should be "who".
This is one of my "fingernail on a chalk board" things!

I am a regular guy, humble, hard-working with the Metro North monthly =

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. =20

Scrap the new rules. There is no problem at Compo Beach, it is truly a =

enough to do and the effects of their tyranny.

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???? :-)

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 =

there have been no reported problems that demand a solution.=20
=20
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?=20
