Another View Of Compo

The latest additions — or deletions — at Compo Beach are several trees on Schlaet’s Point.

For decades they graced the corner of Soundview and Hillspoint. They’re gone now — opening up the vista, while eliminating shade.

One important tree escaped the axe, though: Fiona’s.

It’s been there all summer, and raises several important questions:

Who is Fiona?
Where is her island, and
Why is it disappearing?
Most importantly, where are our town officials when we need them? The sign is clearly illegal. It could cause a major accident, as drivers slow down to read it — not to mention damaging the poor tree. “06880” demands an immediate investigation, with proper punishment meted out to Fiona and all others involved.
