The landowner just downstream of the Riverview cut down a tree and pushed it in the river. It was sitting on the left bank for a day and now it sits, in two pieces, straining the center of the channel. This would present a real danger if the water were still high. Neverthless, this event is in very poor taste. That tree will be a strainer for sometime, somewhere on the river.
Rivers have enough natural hazards without adding manmade ones.
I hope they have the curtousy to go out and cut it up and remove the pieces when the water goes down. They could have roped it to the bank and cut it up there or better yet waited for the water to go down and then dispose of it. And, it looks like hell. Webmaster's paddle still missing in action 8 hours of scouring the bushes and side channels did not reviel it's hiding place. White blades, black shaft, and name and phone number on it.
