In Bristol, if a town owned tree that is otherwise healthy causes damage to personal property, the homeowner may have to live with the nuisance.
Bryan McWilliams, who owns a home at 114 Hopeworth Ave., sought the advice of the Town Council on Wednesday, June 25, after Tree Warden Mike King refused his request to remove two of the three pine trees from the edge of his property.
Mr. McWilliams said that since buying his home in 1997, the town-owned pine trees on the sidewalk of Berry Lane abutting his property have become a nuisance and he has offered to pay for their removal and replanting of deciduous trees in their stead.
Sap and other residue are getting onto our vehicles. Branches have broken our fence panels, Mr. McWilliams told members of the Town Council.
But, said Mr. King, the two large pine trees are healthy trees.
With the town administrators office receiving about 25 tree-related requests each week for pruning, trimming and removal, those that present a safety risk are given priority.
Anything could happen. In my best opinion these trees are fairly safe, Mr. King said. I see so many other trees that need work.
By allowing homeowners to pay for town trees they dont want, it could set a precedent, he said. It might set off a frenzy, Mr. King said.
To date, the town grants the removal of a tree if it has failed and is unhealthy, if it needs to be removed to allow for a curb cut, or if it poses a safety hazard.
Council Vice President Halsey Herreshoff, after listening to the discussion, decided the trees should be spared. My inclination is to follow your recommendation, he told Mr. King.

Nuisance trees to remain for now
The buckets that line the rafters at Sidney Glen Elementary School soon will be cleared.
That is because work began June 30 to replace the schools leaky roof.
Thats a project weve needed to do for a long time, said Tom OBrien, director of facilities and operations for the South Kitsap School District. It was not uncommon to have very, very large leaks coming through the ceiling tiles into some of the offices along the main hallway. One of those was the principals office. There were days when he really couldnt work in there.
SKSD is not the only district in the region to have issues with tile roofs. Bremerton High School is scheduled to put on a new roof next year and OBrien said a Shelton school also is in the process of replacing one.
OBrien said there are a variety of reasons behind Sidney Glens issues, including tile not being the right roof for this community and area. But OBrien, who noted that Hidden Creek and Mullenix Ridge elementary schools still has a tile roof, said there were other reasons behind the problems at Sidney Glen.
I think there were a variety of issues, probably first and foremost was the installation of the product, he said. We feel, anyway, it wasnt lapped properly, which meant we had courses of tile that go across and they basically overlap each other.
OBrien said that led to rain finding its way through gaps, particularly on windy days. He said there was a felt system that was designed to handle rain that penetrated through the roof, but that system became overwhelmed.
What weve found is that it has just deteriorated over the years to the point where that was no long water tight, OBrien said.
SKSD now is in position to replace the roof, OBrien said, because of revenue generated from the maintenance-and-operations levy passed last year. He said the project at Sidney Glen is much more extensive than the 2009 roof replacement at Orchard Heights Elementary School. OBrien said the most significant issue at that school was replacing sheetrock with plywood under the roof there. At Sidney Glen, which is 54,378 square feet and opened in 1991, the tiles must be removed and recycled. There also are thousands upon thousands of linear feet of nailer boards that have to be unscrewed to place a wooden diaphragm on top of the plywood.
Once that portion of the project is complete, OBrien said a protective ice and water shield will be installed.

Work underway to replace Sidney Glen Elementarys tile roof

A fleet of nine Aston Martin supercars with female drivers at the wheel zoomed into a Coventry girls school as part of a campaign to raise awareness of the variety of jobs available to women.
The event took place at Tile Hill Wood School & Language College, in Nutbrook Avenue, Tile Hill, this week.
It was organised by the Inspiring Women campaign, which was founded by Miriam Gonzlez Durntez, partner in a major international law firm and also wife of Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
Mrs Durntez spoke to a group of more than 100 pupils at the school, introducing an opportunity for networking with strong female role models from Aston Martin, which has its headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire.
She encouraged the girls present, all aged 12 to 15, not to limit their dreams and to work hard towards achieving a job in any profession in which they want to work even if that was in an area like cars or engineering traditionally associated with men.
Sam Tasker, assistant headteacher at Tile Hill Wood, said: The girls found Miriam really inspirational and a few of them even wanted her autograph.

The fact that they had access to so many inspirational women means they came away really upbeat because it let them ask what they wanted.

Trish and her Russian Blue cat, Boo (Geoff Pugh)
Miss Ellis knelt on the bathroom floor, with her ear to the tub. A quiet but desperate miaow could be heard emanating from behind the freshly tiled bath panel.
The cat had obviously gone to hide from the two noisy builders and had unfortunately then been 'walled up inside when they replaced the cracked tile.
Miss Ellis, a personal assistant from Enfield, said: I miaowed back at him for a while but wasnt sure what to do next. So I rang the builder.
When he had finished laughing he immediately blamed his mate and then told me to get busy with a breadknife and screwdriver.
One smashed tile and a chipped fingernail later, the furry grey prisoner was released.
He was right as rain but very indignant to have been walled up in such insalubrious surroundings all day, said Miss Ellis, When the builders come back to fit yet another new tile, Ill say please can you put the cat out not in and especially not in the cavity under the bath."

The sailors on the USS Lincoln are doing much of the work as the ship goes through it's 25 year refit and refuel.
NEWPORT NEWS When Edward Shields joined the Navy 10 months ago, the recruiter didn't mention jackhammer duty.
But last week, the young Navy airman stood aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, bending his 6-foot-5-inch frame in a cramped passageway, blasting apart floor tiles and making a great deal of noise while doing it. He is part of a 35-sailor team that has pulverized 372,000 square feet of tile since the Lincoln arrived at Newport News Shipbuilding last March.
These sailors normally work on the carrier flight deck. They launch, recover and refuel jet aircraft, and their jobs are considered among the most exciting and dangerous in the world.
Now they're in downtown Newport News.
Living the adventure.
"No, he never told me about jackhammer work," Shields laughed, recalling the recruiter's pitch. "I never thought I'd be doing this."
It might not be exciting, but Shields is participating in one of the military's most complicated fix-up jobs. The Lincoln is at Dry Dock 11 for a Refueling and Complex Overhaul, or RCOH. It happens midway through the 50-year life of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and pulverizing old floor tiles is among thousands of jobs.
A 2002 study from the RAND Institute said a RCOH "may be the most challenging engineering and industrial task undertaken anywhere."
During its first year at Newport News, a milestone marked on March 28, workers had already reinstalled the long-range radar tower, blasted and primed the ship's hull below the water line, refurbished 230 of 399 watertight doors and completed port and starboard rudder repairs.
