For all who love watching birds flying,  nesting, swimming, singing,  
at Foley Point ( south side Ledyard Bridge, Norwich) your letters of  
support  for a low-impact public park have been received by the  
Norwich select board. Under the new chair's policy they will be  
paraphrased, not read in their entirety,  at Wednesday's meeting.   
Recent efforts to put the subject of the board agenda have not  
succeeded. Many residents and visitors  share the vision of a public   
river park with access by foot, bicycle, and canoe, possibly with a  
modest rain shelter and stationary viewing scope. We will try again  
to convince the board to put this idea on their agenda. Vermont  
statute gives authority to select boards to layout public parks and  
that process  begins with a presentation of the idea to the board as  
an agenda item.

For those interested in speaking up about the benefits of a public  
park for bird watching, as a scenic rest stop for hikers, as a family  
picnic site, please attend Wednesday's select board meeting, 6:30 Pm  
at Tracy Hall.
