Lots of excitement in town. Paul Dick reports a bald Eagle doing some aggressive loon-watching at Orange Pond:

"Last week I had the privilege to observe an adult Bald Eagle scoping out the loons on Orange Pond. I had taken my dog for a walk and was hanging out at the public landing talking to Hanna Arnold as our dogs played. Suddenly we heard the loons cry and saw a rather large black bird with a totally white tail fly into the trees on the far side of the pond. The loons managed to stay clear of the eagles talons. Ten minutes later the eagle gave up his pursuit of them and flew off but not before giving us a fabulous view of itself. That was my first sighting of an eagle at the pond and hopefully it won't be my last. They are magnificent birds and I'm glad to seem them in the area!!"

Sharon Duffy sent along a request for volunteers by the building community of the new Community Health Center. The building site on the corner of Route 4 and Roberts Road needs willling hands to cut, haul and chip the trees marked for removal. Work starts this Saturday, August 27, and will continue for four to six hours. Bring chainsaws and brush cutters if you have them, though they mostly need strong backs. Email Phil Salvail or call him at 304-5511.
Don't forget Large Trash Day this Friday, August 26. See the previous post for details.
Finally, Sandi sent the most recent approved minutes of the Select Board. You can read them here.
