The local public library has  taken a tree down from the front of the library.The tree was a ponderosa pine and provided a break in from the weather to a small bench outside the door. A source says  that the tree did not provide enough shade and will be eventually replaced by a variety that gives more shade.

The library is having a speaker, author on May 15th at 6PM, Dennis Robertson and his presentation is titled :Crackers ….come and hear… ” A true story of a hearing assist dog.
