We trim in various areas to ensure reliability. This particular feeder line serves the hospital and we wanted to make sure we have the reliability we need before the summer months hit.

We had a discussion with Rogers and his understanding of what the crew told him was that the trees would be removed totally. We don't plan to remove any trees completely. I went out there and visited with him and he seemed OK with what was going on.

What we're trying to do is trim a 10-foot safety zone. But each tree is going to be different. We take a look at the species, how old it is and how it's been trimmed before. Rogers' tree had been trimmed privately in the past and most of the growth was upward.

In particular, we need to ensure that by 2009 all roads in the townships are tarred.

New permit limits will ... allow us to keep the units available more often. This is important to ensure reliability of the electrical transmission grid in the area.

Don't wait for the world to come after you; you come after the world. A part of its ship is what you are; a trim-tab or a hole.
