It’s great. I appreciate the efforts of people to keep us informed and up to date. I would love to hear a more open response and welcoming attitude toward public comment. I thought when we grew up in America, we would all have the opportunity to express our views, have them heard, respected and taken into serious consideration. I see that happen occasionally, but not enough. Sometimes it seems I hear disrespectful, hurtful and often intimidating responses and comments being made when citizens express concern over on-goings in our hometown. I don’t get it. it seems it takes courage to express differences in this town. And I know there are lots of people who don’t have that extra energy at the end of the day, dealing with the challenges of work, finances, children, college tuition, increasingly busy schedules, to expend over a granite chicken, mushroom etc. So again to those folks who do have the energy and the stamina to attend meetings, keep informed, speak out and withstand the backlash that seems destined to occur in a small town a heartfelt thank you and sincere appreciation.

I agree that we should preserve the lakeside park as is for future generations. Please leave it as simple and beautiful as we see it today.

Preserve and keep the lakeside park and gazebo green areas open for future generations to enjoy. Enough trees and shrubs have already been planted in both areas. As for the willow tree, I have been told that the roots spread tremendously and can cause problems.

Claremont, New London and Newport are prime examples. The BC and gardeners have done a great job of beautifying the harbor with flowers and shrubs. Why do they now want to clutter it up by taking away the green? It doesn’t make sense. Could this be “overkill”?

He made some good points.
