What goes up
January 30th, 2012
A massive redwood has been cut down in King George Park. The tree was over 30 metres tall.
It came down because it was rotting and cracks were appearing. A dangerous tree that we would rather control where it falls.
Any decent wood will be salvaged.

I have been told October 26 for the seal. I hope the finished product is to the liking of most.
Thanks Brian

Brian Inder finished up at Council this week.
It is no secret that he had an agenda to get a Cable Car on the table in the community for discussion. Mission was accomplished.
I wish him well. Brian is no ordinary run of the mill person. His lollies will also be missed.
