FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
Why is the New Britain’s common council radical & socialistic leadership so distanced from what the general public wants; and that is to regain the use of the public parks.
Maybe it is time for the “Democratic Zealots” to work in finding a solution rather than continuing the blame game they are so accustomed too. The city residents wants to get rid of the continued after leavings; and the possibility of our youth contracting the Asian flu along with other diseases.

The only one I have read about wanting these geese is the editor of the herald.
Recent research at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta confirm that Canada goose excrement is laden with potentially dangerous bacteria, some of which are resistant to bactericides.
"Rapidly increasing populations of urban resident Canada geese are contaminating recreational areas with pathogenic bacteria that may pose human health risks," said Larry Clark, a research scientist at the National Wildlife Research Center in Colorado.
Fecal contamination from Canada geese is significant, including up to 94 per cent of excrement comprising forms of E. coli and salmonella microbes.
Scott Weese at the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph confirms some microbes in Canada goose excrement are resistant to common bactericides.
Last summer, several Ontario public parks and swimming areas were closed due to soil and water contamination caused by Canada goose droppings, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources at Midhurst, Ont.
Studies are underway to assess the ability of Canada geese to transmit dangerous diseases, by means of droppings, to humans and livestock, and to contaminate crops and turf.
The Centers for Disease Control confirms that Canada goose droppings contain at least 140 different kinds of bacteria, some of which pose a risk to human health.
