The Save Ocean Beach group have done many wonderful things for the beach. It's sad for the osprey and the people that enjoy the Ocean Beach Osprey if this group is allowed to take down the Osprey nesting tower. The Save Ocean Beach group would like to take the Osprey tower down and try to relocate it for a clock tower on the boardwalk.We don't think it's worth the risk of loosing the osprey forever. The Osprey have come back to this same nesting site for decades. Other birds also nest within the osprey nest!Does anyone think it would be a great idea to raise funds to install a web-cam to watch the Ocean Beach Ospey? Many groups have done this. Look up Osprey web cams on the web-site! Many groups celebrate the return of the ospry every March!We would support Save Ocean Beach for a new clock tower. We ask they please reconsider and leave the osprey tower alone. Some of the Save Ocean Beach group members will be seeking permission to take the osprey tower down on 9/4/2012 at an Education, Parks & Recreation Committee meeting between 5-7, prior to the City Council meeting.Please write or show up to show your support for the osprey..Please leave the osprey tower alone!

The mayor and council president will lie and cheat to protect the mayor's unqualified and dishonest…Read More people. The council and the council leadership is supposed to act as a check and balance in this new form of government. Mr. Smith is one of those dishonest people. It is sad that this person can be so dishonest and that the so called leaders in the community back the dishonest person rather than standing up for the taxpayers and people that really do live here and pay taxes. As a finance director Mr. Smith knows the importance of the proper tax town for vehicles, so he cannot claim ignorance. Is he is breaking the law because the taxes in Windham are lower or because he truly lives in Windham?

Thanks for your continued support of our Public School system Rotary!
as for the flighty Ospreys, never fear, they will handily relocate to the new location, as long as they feel safe from the hordes of noisy summer boardwalk and beach people. They love the seclusion the existing tower offers them WAY OUT IN THE LOT. How many Osprey nests have been located, say in the dense city areas, anywhere in any city??? ZERO! They need that 'exclusion zone' so to speak, its part of their instinctive measure to keep young chicks alive! Does anyone remember an osprey nest on the OLD clock tower??? he he he! I sure don't, at least for the last 60 years! A webcam is a nice idea, with a good link for the Magnet and the Technology High School to use for their science and nature classes. Incorporate it into the unlimited BOE budget, (a drop in their bucket.) Speaking of drops, the ospreys will 'drop stuff' below the nest, so be forewarned!
pages have disappeared from the city coffers. Clark of all people you know how much of NL's history has disappeared on a daily basis.
or those 'cast in place' curbs that slide out of place when the snow plow comes along. i won't point fingers, BUT, whenever the maintenance crews showed up to fix stuff, it often just vanished! I'm wondering if that scrap yard (Howard St,>> Trumbull/Nameag St>>Essex CT) would have any idea. we can thank those millions of truly great craftsmen from Europe that immigrated (1800's) with their devotion to detail, art, hard work and skill for what we once had.
