The Thirst tree, a public art installation that went up Sept. 29 to represent the trees killed in the recent drought, was removed from Lady Bird Lake last week.
Barbry Alma: It should stay until we start actually protecting our water supply.
Jay W. Smith: Now how about the environmental cleanup of the toxic paint chips that fell off and polluted the lake. Not to mention the rust and oils off the metal posts that were rammed into the bottom to support the stupid thing. I worked a construction site a few years back and every time there was a little silt from the natural Del Rio Clay-stone under the Butler Ball Fields, people would go crazy about the lake being messed up. It was nothing more than Natural Runoff that was not toxic.
Cindy Anne Ashline Foss: I thought it was better than those stupid blue panels on Lamar near 5th that they call art.
Tony Love: I hope it gets a new home where it may be enjoyed by the public
Amanda Vernon: If I knew somebody would pay me $30,000 or however much it was to paint a dead tree white, Id claim to be an artist too. Haha.
Doug Matthews: Never did understand what that tree thingy was all about. Oh, I read the stories and saw the photos, but the explanation was simply not convincing: didnt make much sense either.
Joanie Cooksey: I loved this exhibit! Sad to see it go!
Blanca Houston: Good-bye Thirst Tree; an eco-sensitive addition in the Annals of Austins Weirdness. Yes, I will hug a tree.

Facebook comments: 'Thirst' tree removal

GREENING Bathurst chairman Ashley Bland says he is not concerned about changes to Bathursts Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan that allow residents outside the regions heritage conservation areas to fell trees because he knows people find trees beautiful and understand the important role they play.
GREENING Bathurst chairman Ashley Bland says he is not concerned about changes to Bathursts Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan that allow residents outside the regions heritage conservation areas to fell trees because he knows people find trees beautiful and understand the important role they play.
Once councils new LEP and DCP come into effect in 2014 a tree permit will no longer be required to remove, lop or prune a tree outside the identified Heritage Conservation Areas.
However, within the conservation areas three processes have been established to deal with the assessment and determination of applications for the removal, lopping and pruning of trees.
These are a prescribed Tree Permit Application; or exempt Tree Notification Form; or development consent as part of a development application.
A prescribed tree permit application must be lodged with council to ringbark, cut down, top, lop, remove, injure or wilfully destroy any prescribed tree in a heritage conservation area.
An exempt tree notification form is to be lodged with council to remove, lop, top or cut down an exempt tree that is greater than nine metres in height; or has a stem circumference of one metre or more at a height of one metre from the ground; or has a branch spread of 15 metres or more.
Mr Bland said he believes the people of Bathurst realise how wonderful it is to have trees and will not take advantage of the changes to the regulations.
We understand how important trees are for keeping us cool and providing a habitat for local wildlife, Mr Bland said.

No worries as tree permits get chop
No one injured, residents displaced by water from sprinkler system
A fire started by a fallen candle at a retirement community in Troutdale injured no one but caused an estimated $50,000 in damage and displaced residents after the buildings sprinkler system turned on.
At 1:08 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, Gresham firefighters were dispatched to Cherry Park Plaza, a senior living facility at 1323 S.W. Cherry Park Road, said Alyssa Roupp, spokeswoman at the Gresham fire department.
According to the fire report, a tenant had lit a candle on a table in her room to cover up the smell of wet dog.
The woman then used her electronic wheelchair to go to the kitchen.
Upon her return, the scooter bumped the end table.
The candle fell and set fire to a scarf and other garments hanging on the door.
Smoke from the fire activated the units sprinkler system, and the fire was put out before six engines, a fire truck and the battalion chief responded to the scene.
The woman was not injured, Roupp said.
There was smoke damage in the room, and her scarf and garments were damaged.

Logan Mankins started at left tackle in pregame warmups. Josh Kline was at left guard, so the rookie appears to be ready to make his first career start. Assuming the pregame formation holds true, Mankins would start at left tackle for the second time in his career (Week 16, 2011).
Vince Wilfork sheds walking boot
Vince Wilfork is again with the team here on a road trip, and he has shed the walking boot that he's been wearing since Achilles surgery.
Aaron Dobson returns, Dane Fletcher ruled out
Dane Fletcher has been ruled out after trying to give it a go with a pregame warmup. The groin injury will force him out of his first game of the season.
The Pats' seven inactives are Fletcher, Nate Solder (concussion), Kenbrell Thompkins (hip), Josh Boyce (ankle), Isaac Sopoaga, D.J. Williams and Jake Bequette. The last three are healthy scratches.
Solder is out for the first time in his career. Thompkins is out for the third straight game and fourth overall. Boyce is out for the first time with the ankle and the fifth time this season. Sopoaga is inactive for the first time since he was traded to the Patriots at the deadline. Williams is inactive for the second straight week. Bequette is inactive for the eighth consecutive week and ninth time this season.
Aaron Dobson returns after missing three games with a stress fracture in his left foot. Steve Beauharnais is active after being a healthy scratch for the last seven games and 11 times overall. Chris Barker is back after being a healthy scratch last week for the ninth time. Buchanan is back after being a healthy scratch last week for the first time.
Alfonzo Dennard, Dane Fletcher are game-time decisions
Alfonzo Dennard (knee) is running through a pregame routine with Dr. Tom Gill, strength and conditioning coordinator Harold Nash and head trainer Jim Whalen, so he is a game-time decision. The knee has already kept him out of two games this season.

Live: Vince Wilfork sheds walking boot
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside are members of an international team the Amborella Genome Sequencing Project that has sequenced the genome of the Amborella plant.
This newly sequenced genome addresses Darwins abominable mystery the question of why flowers suddenly proliferated on Earth millions of years ago. The genome sequence sheds new light on a major event in the history of life on Earth: the origin of flowering plants.
The researcher team says it has conclusive evidence that the ancestor of all flowering plants, including Amborella, evolved following a genome doubling event that occurred about 200 million years ago. Some duplicated genes were lost over time but others took on new functions, including contributions to the development of floral organs.
Study results appear in the 20 December 2013 issue of the journal Science.

Close call: Bob Archer lost three sheds, including his partner's valuable swimsuit patterns and equipment
Fire raged through bush in Port Underwood on Saturday.
Marlborough Sounds resident Bob Archer says he didn't even have time to grab a lead or a collar for his dogs as he rushed to rescue them from a large bush fire threatening to engulf his home.
Mr Archer was sitting in his neighbour's living room when they saw smoke coming past the window. He had gone to visit his neighbour to check if the power was out at their property too.
"It all started with a power cut, that was the first we realised.
"I went up to the neighbour's just to confirm it was a power cut and not just us," he said.
They went outside to investigate and saw the fire tearing through another neighbour's shed.
"I came back down and grabbed the dogs and hot-footed it down to the beach and rang 111."
Residents and holidaymakers above the fire evacuated to a different beach, Hakahaka Bay, about 2.5 kilometres away, he said.
