Genola grudge? Someone cuts down official's trees

When I cleaned horse stalls and cattle pens in manure up to my knees years ago, there sure wasn't a house like this in all of Genola! I guess it's been gentrified!
Sorry about the trees--Genola needed all the trees it could get.

Where is Genola. Never heard of it. The story - all stories with weird datelines - should have a sentence or two about where on this planet the weird towns or townships are located.

Genola Utah? Genola Italy? Genola Tokyo? Genola Guam?

Just one reason I don't live in Genola. Some cowboys think this is the wild west and they can do anything they want.

For Draper and his attorney to believe he had no conflict of interest is completely ludicrous. Draper clearly stood to gain by lifting the moratorium. Not only should he have declared a conflict, he probably should have abstained from voting rather than be the deciding vote. But, hey, what's a little ethical greyness when there is money to be made?

Where the heck is Genola?

Looks like someone has borderline personality disorder.

I had some Genola for breakfast this morning.

Maybe the council members should step outside for a duel. "You know, Bryan, this town just ain't big enough for the both of us."

BTW, Genola is near the SE border of Utah Lake, between Goshen and Santaquin. Population of about 1,000. But why do they need a new development? Hey, councilmen, haven't you heard the real estate market has crashed? No Cal-i-for-nee-ay-aa speculators to come in and buy those homes.

Oh, yeah, they're still waiting for the next stage to come by and deliver the news. I think there is one due in next month from Virginia City.

For you asking where is Genola -
If you can post a message here you can find an online map. Good grief.

Was he home when the trees were cut down? It seems that for someone to cut down 11 trees in the middle of the night, someone would have looked out and noticed what was going on long before all 11 were cut down. It is unlikely it was done quietly.
If I heard someone cutting down trees in my yard or even the neighbors yard, I would have called the neighbor or the police. Was was all this done atter 11 pm and no one payed any attention? Sure makes you wonder why no one noticed.

I used to work in Genola ... and nobody cares about that fly infested wind tunnel but those who live there. The way they talk you'd think it was the Garden of Eden? And they sqwabble about everything. When I worked there, over ten years ago, they were fighting over lot sizes and it's still going on?!? Is there really a huge difference between 2.31 and 2.5 acres of sage brush? I say we make a law to give Genola back to the gophers and jack rabbits.

As thin as those trees are you wouldn't need an ax or chainsaw. Just put your body weight on it.

I wish someone would do that to the Provo city council members homes. Those guys are out of control.

Look At and Take a Look each need to take a valium.

Then again, since the writing style is nearly identical it is probably the same person.

One will do. Don't want you to O.D.

The picture shows it clearly sawcut and about twice the cross section of the t-post or 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter of healthy green wood. However with a good sharp bow saw or woodzig one could do such a cowardly thing in about 30 seconds each. In the dark of night in what appears to be a fair distance from any neighbors, it's possible.

Mmmmmmmmm....Genola. It's a good healthy snack. I'm going to get me some genola right now.

Lot has to be 2.5 acres to build on it. No wonder it cost a fortune to live in Utah. People like Greenwood are more to blame with the cost of living going up, than the cost of oil. Now his McMansions isn't as pretty, poor baby.

It's cheaper to live in Utah than most places. We need people who are willing to uphold the law like Greenwood. He has made enemies for obeying the law, as he took an oath to do. Hazelet, Draper, and Vail seem to have forgotten that they took that particular oath. Let's keep it legal...

We are tired of living in DraperVail!
Ha...Ha! We want Genola back! Chris Greenwood is the only one with integrity on the town council. We support Chris Greenwood and appreciate that he helps up hold the law when working with a bunch of renegade outlaws. You've got our support Chris! We are sorry about your trees, your yard was looking so beautiful. We are sorry someone did this to you and your family. Your a true friend of Genola!
