I was struck again by the fact that so many think the whole village of Lake Miona are " in on it". I think that a lot are as sure as those who don't live there as to who did it, like most of us are sure who did it, but we have so many loud motor sounds going on in our neighborhood with edgers and blowers and trimmers, unless you were looking at something, you wouldn't know a tree was being cut on. You have to go to sumterpa.com to look at the map to see that those trees were on a little Island behind the properties.

I am just thinking it unjust to blame other innocent people for covering up something they had no real knowledge of.

And the part I am reading on the online news of people blaming people for a cover-up who live in a larger home who they think are the "monied rich" is REALLY unfair.
GG, what I was attempting to convey was that a meaningful reward needs to be offered. The 'golf for life at the CC's' was a feeble attempt at humor.

It seems to me likely that several folks were complicit in this; even if initiated by one person it was a cooperative project at minimum through post if not prior knowledge . Now who would risk doing such a thing other than those who would benefit from it?

I doubt some looney tune thought to himself, "Just for the heck of it I'll just go cut down that stand of oak trees to improve the view of the lake from those houses over there."

Furthermore, how could it possibly have gone unnoticed by those in the area, especially those whose lake views were obstructed?
