Trees from Park Recycled for Signs


by Len Lathrop
As the Benson rehabilitation projects continue,
many long-time Hudson residents have stepped
forward to lend both their time and energy, and in this
case their equipment and special skills, to make the
park something that the town can be proud of.
Meet James Mills and his wife Kathy who offered
to mill wood cut on the Benson property into boards
that will be carved into trail and building signs for the
park.
Early Saturday morning, as others continued to clear
brush at the park, the Mills were milling a white cedar
tree, which many might remember growing next to
the office buiding, into two different sizes - wood was
cut to 5/4” thick for the signs and 5/4” square for the
stakes. While using a tractor hoist to move the log, James Mills cuts the tree into eight-foot lengths. Once one side of the log is sawed, the wood mizer LT70 has the ability to roll the log

from the Town Mayor and Chief of Police,
I approached the podium. My rehearsed
