The two mature blue spruces in the Terrace's common area between Hyland Court and Hyland Circle were felled by the high winds that swept the area Wednesday.

Grounds Committee Chairman Harvey Bailey, along with Tom Chichester and Ed Reilly, quickly pitched in to make short work of the damage. They cut up the trees, extracted the stumps and smoothed out the lawn area.

In the spring, the Terrace Association will be footing the bill to replace the trees and seed the damaged grassy areas.

As always, our thanks to the tireless efforts behind such a quick and thorough cleanup.
