In Our Viewpoint Compromise is name of game Widi the C o o p erstow n Village Board’s dscistoa to increase paring access to the village owned boat launch, t e e is final ly some light at the end of the tpnnel. Compromise is die only way that anything can be accom plished ©a the issue of whedier to inc^ase access to Ofeego Lake. While t e e has been much talk and postadng on the mat ter, t e e is no doubt dial more access to the lake is prely much a done deal. Should opponents continue to block the way, the Depatent of Environiaental Conservation will reconnnend in its Envlronmentel Impact Statement that a slate-sponsored boat launch be built'in Giiamerglass State Park. access &r spoit fishermen - which, a@ter all, is what the DEC has said Is die reason for the boat launch - should stymie efhir^ to build a new laanclt in the p^k. Sen. lamas L. Seward has gone on lewsrd as approving increased acc^s, and also said that the village’s e^orm mid diose of Michael Moffat to lower fees for launching fioiii Sam Smith’s Boat Yard should oialllly die buUding o f a launch at Gliiauneiglass. Now. opponent and proponents of increased access should band together to find ways in which to sure that the increase access is not dehriiaeatal to die take. Thinp get done when people work together.
