Reader pleased with yard waste program

On Wednesday 10/19/11, the Moses Lake city yard waste chipping machine and crew ran 125 feet of branches from several households through the machine. These were on the street in front of my house and the lot next door. This is a very valuable service by the city as it enables those of us that have large trees to have the branches removed. We wish to thank the city for providing this service once in spring and once in fall, which I believe was initiated by Dick Deane several years ago. In addition, I wish to compliment the city for the very fine statues in the downtown area. I think the statues are really attractive and represent the athletics of this city very well. I understand that Don Garrett of the Parks and Recreation Department made them.
