stay flexible By Joe Pinchot
Paul Samball has planted thirsty willow, pine and maple trees to help drink up what he calls an "overabundance of groundwater" on his property. The trees also shade a creek, protecting it, he said Thursday at the Hermitage Municipal Authority meeting. Tearing down many of the trees, as Hermitage officials had proposed doing, to install a sanitary sewer line would do more harm than good, said the resident of 1410 S. Keel Ridge Road. City officials have agreed and altered plans to avoid the trees. |
