UPDATE: I DID GO OUT TO MIXVILLE ON SUNDAY, JUNE 14th TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE.

I WENT AROUND 2 p.m., IT WAS PARTLY CLOUDY BUT WARM. I DID SEE ABOUT 40 PEOPLE IN THE PARK-ONLY A HANDFUL WERE FROM CHESHIRE.

THE PARK LOOKED NEAT AND CLEAN AND I DID SEE A PERSON SITTING IN A TOWN OF CHESHIRE TRUCK-I ASSUMED THIS WAS THE RANGER-I DON’T KNOW FOR SURE.

SO, I DID HAPPEN UPON A GROUP OF PEOPLE PICKNICKING-I APPROACHED THEM TO ASK THEM ABOUT THE PARK. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WHERE THEY ARE FROM:

THE VIDEO FROM MIXVILLE IS UNDER “FEATURED VIDEO” ON THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE BLOG.

TO SEE A LARGER VIEW-YOU CAN DOUBLE CLICK  ON THE VIDEO AND YOU WILL GO RIGHT TO MY YOUTUBE SITE.

This park IS A NICE PARK!! IT IS TOO BAD THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE ABANDONED IT. THE FIELDS SURROUNDING THE PICNIC AREA WHERE WE SPOKE TO THIS GENTLEMAN FROM BRISTOL, WAS COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH WATER!!

AS YOU COULD SEE FROM THE VIDEO-SO WAS THE PLAY AREA. CAN YOU IMAGINE MOSQUITO PROBLEM?? ALSO, YOU WANT TO CHARGE PEOPLE?? THAN THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY!!

I have a suggestion: why doesn’t the town of Cheshire take some of the dirt they took from Cheshire Park to put into Bartlem Park and PUT IT OVER IN MIXVILLE FOR FILL!!

The gentleman who wrote the letter to the editor in the Herald and in Tim’s blog was right-IF THIS WERE BARTLEM PARK IT WOULD BE IN PRISTINE CONDITION!!

We people in the third district are getting tired of being the “bridesmaid” so to speak, of Cheshire!! First this town started to complete the Lock Park off of Jarvis Street-but decided there is no money-NOW MIXVILLE HAS BEEN THROWN TO THE WIND!!

This is disgraceful!! But par for the course of a town that INSISTS ON KOWTOWING TO CERTAIN GROUPS AND TELLING EVERYONE ELSE TO GO TO HELL!!

I just wanted to post some information I finally was able to get from the Internet on what other communities in Connecticut charge (if they even do) to access their local beaches to tie in to this Mixville issue.

Now I admit-I DON’T like to see people charged to use beaches and parks, but unfortunately, the few spoil it for the many-AT LEAST Mixville, as a poster alluded to on Tim’s blog, SHOULD HAVE A GATE.

The beach association I belong to in New Hampshire is doing just that-putting up a gate at the entrance to the beach. This eliminates the need for a person to check the beach passes (which are $50 a year) and keep out unwanted vehicles-YES WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM UP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ALSO!!

I heard there is a delay with the gate because of electrical problems.

But, in all fairness to these residents in the Mixville area-AT LEAST PUT UP THE GATE!! IF WE CAN MANAGE IT IN GILFORD-AND THIS IS A PRIVATE BEACH ASSOCIATION WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE-THEN THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CAN ALSO ACCOMODATE THESE RESIDENTS REQUESTS!!

Now this does not stop people from walking in-but it is a lot harder to start serious trouble if a motor vehicle is not available. You can drive away a lot faster than you can run!!

So, with that said, here is the link to this website: CozyBeach that lists all of the beaches in Ct and Rhode Island and any fees they charge.

P.S. There are some serious misspellings on the Seaside Park post-they have “Dupes” Drugstore instead of “Lupes” and “Turmoil” instead of “Trumbull”–where incidentally, the Bridgeport Park and Rec Dept IS LOCATED!!

GO FIGURE!!

I found a comment on Tim’s blog about the town keeping files on people they don’t like very interesting-IF THIS IS TRUE CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW THICK THE FILE MUST BE ON ME!

I do think some of that statement might be true-I know this town is pre-occupied with their “image” and will keep tabs on people whom they think are out to blemish it!!

Goodbye for now!!
