1.) There have been fewer dolphin strandings over the past two weeks. Three dolphins were rescued in Brewster. That's it!
2.) Break-ins are on the rise. Chatham has been particularly targeted by thieves. One desperate thief stole all the copper pipes out of a rental cottage in Truro.
3.) The National Seashore intends to demolish the beach cottages, called "camps," on North Beach Island in Chatham. Legislators have been asked to intervene. The person who told me about the controversy was irate because there has been no request for public comment prior to the decision. Chatham Selectman Sean Summers decries Superintendent Price's tendency to act without taking into consideration the opinions of members of the local community, reports the Provincetown Banner. Other examples, mentioned in the article, include the future of the dune shacks in Provincetown and the decision to kill crows, which outraged many Wellfleetians two years ago.

"Because we have had brave leadership, now and in the past, willing to stand against public pressure when necessary, we can still enjoy the wild beauty of the Cape Cod national seashore. I cannot feel sorry for those rich and fortunate Chatham folks who have been lucky to summer out on that beach for this long. Barrier beaches belong to the ocean, not to us humans. I have seen wrecked homes hanging out over the ocean in NC after a hurricane, with their underground systems and above-ground structure and contents being torn away by the ocean waves, not waiting for their owners to tear them down. I would NOT want to eat shellfish from that area, or pilot a boat through those waters. I'm satisfied that the seashore folks are planning ahead for safety in Chatham's dangerous waters, for the health of the whole ecosystem, and for the endangered species which nest there."
