Way UP there!

 Last year, remember the summer storm in July, when we had so many trees come down around town? One big mess occurred involving the lines that power most of the plaza in Sharon. Some of a large willow on Jack's land came down, and knocked out power for more than a day. It was a mess. If the market had been open, it would have been a disaster for their freezers and coolers and all that is in them.

Town officials contacted the land-owner, who was in favor. Then they met with the powers to be at C L & P and worked to get them to consider taking down the large willows on behalf of the town and to save their investment in all their lines and transformers as well.  These trees had grown to such a size, and being such a fragile, brittle tree, the potential for more problems very much existed.

Some time back the town was notified that C L & P would indeed do some tree work and today they started. Despite the non-stop wind, which made them work so much slower for safety reasons, one tree is down by late this afternoon and a huge part of another is as well. This bucket truck can reach seventy feet fully extended and the trees were still above his reach. Whoa!
