At first glance, a walk in the ‘cornfields’ ~ the area of so much contention and landscaping in 2008-2009, appears returned to level ground with new grasses growing.

I have never read such selfish fiction as I found on a website devoted to defending the capitalist notion that we should sacrifice our public parkland for a New Canaan-based Continuing Care Retirement Community. The website ccrcfornc.org states: Q: Was this the type of Waveny land usage envisioned by Mrs. Ruth Lapham Lloyd? A: Most [...]

Is this a $250,000 joke? A band of aging volunteers intends to lift tons of concrete and asphalt debris and sort through thousands of yards of dredged mud, weeds and rubbish? The truth won’t come from the glamorous journalism of the New Canaan Advertiser, nor from the politicians who approved the immolation of the cornfield [...]

Citing a news article in the April 9th New Canaan Advertiser titled: “Community group forms to restore portion of Waveny Park” A public-private group formed recently with the intention of restoring the Waveny Park cornfields.

There are no brakes on the Park and Recreation’s train of destruction. A resident quoted in the paper, Mr. Hanson, is correct when he says that the summer theater won’t “desecrate” the cornfield. That’s true because the town has already desecrated the meadow area. The theater will occupy the cornfield. The concessions for people and [...]

Today’s Advertiser reports a new chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission, who was quoted as saying: “We want to be good stewards of New Canaan’s assets.” How ironic since the page before tells of more planned destruction of our park. In a self-motivated move to house the equipment that cuts, chops, shreds, moves, plows [...]

In June I went for a walk in Waveny Park only to find heavy construction equipment and massive destruction of the woods along the footpath.
