Part 7 : finish within 22 minutes From: Russell Glanz [Russell@avery.com] To: Leslie Bonham [bonham@monroe.net] Subject: Monroe Park Dear Mayor Bonham: I am writing in regard to the proposed law banning the feeding of pigeons in Monroe Park. I would like to express my support for this legislation. I do not dislike pigeons but I feel that they are unsanitary and a nuisance. I love Monroe Park but have been forced to stay away from the area. I used to go running and have picnics in the park, but the pigeon population is out of hand and it is nearly impossible to do anything without a pigeon getting in the way. Last time my family and I had a picnic, a pigeon kept landing on our table and coming back despite our efforts to make it leave. People must stop feeding these birds. If this legislation passes, I believe park conditions will be overall improved. It will be cleaner and more pleasant. Thank you for your time and your concern for our city.

There will also be a book of numbers and beginning math as well as introductory science, which will include topics such as animals and space. “We’re confident we will get a positive response based on the interest we’ve already experienced,” said Hershire referring to high orders from book and baby stores.
