Hopefully, the same will apply here.
There will also be a joint meeting of the Chatham/Orleans Park commissioners, at 6 PM Wednesday, 7/12,in Orleans, at the Town Hall, to discuss similar issues at Nauset. Scott Melvin, the State Plover Officer, (the man behind all the closings), is supposed to be at the Orleans meeting. I hope he will appear at the NPS meeting, as well.
Let us all hope for positive results at all meetings, that will take place over the next several months, as I know there will be more.
Please...Keep emotion and finger pointing out of it. Staff at both beaches, are just doing as they are instructed, by Law. Proposals to keep both beaches open, were submitted, by the beach managers, but, were overridden by Mr. Melvin. Let us try to find out why, and how things can be changed, without the screaming match.
The towns have realized the financial impact, and they have been awakend from their slumber, now is the time for some positive action.
Kudos to Rich, and others involved.
