Given the obvious demand for slash disposal this year (it was a first that it had to close early due to being full) an additional slash weekend has been organized.
Dates: July 25th and July 26th 2009
Times: 8:30 a.m. until 4:00p.m. [OR UNTIL FULL]
Location: Fire Station #2 - Hwy 72 & Camp Eden Road.
* Tree branches, bushes are the main goal for this slash collection. (The pile will be chipped immediately after collection.)
* Pine needles are allowed (so long as dumped out of any containing garbage sacks.)
* No stumps (unless chopped up into smaller pieces.)
* Log sizes should be (roughly) no larger than 8 foot long and 6 inches in diameter.
* Absolutely no trash, and no commercial dumping.
* If (say) you heat your home with wood and would like to take home logs that others have dumped, that is fine.
* There is no problem with actively beetle infested wood (since the wood will be immediately chipped.)

Letter from the Coffee Shop proprietors:
Dear Canyon Residents –
We need some input from our neighbors as to what you want from us as a coffee shop.
We had been told that staying open until 2pm and offering a lunch special would be much appreciated, so we obliged. However, the response hasn’t been what we had hoped for. We hired extra staff for the anticipated increase in business, but there hasn’t been that increase. We now need to reevaluate our decision and determine whether it is in our best interest to continue with the extended hours and lunches.
Last fall at the ‘emergency community meeting’ when Darwin and Kristin announced they were closing the doors, nearly every small group there suggested ‘take and bake’ dinners. We again obliged, with little success. Those who have used it have had only good things to say, so there must be a reason people aren’t taking advantage of this option.
In order for us to keep this business running, we need to know what the community wants/needs from us. Please send us any thoughts or suggestions you may have – we will give each suggestion our full consideration. We feel the coffee shop is a staple in a small community such as ours (and have been told so by many of you). We desperately want to make this work. We are just at a loss as to what is needed. We appreciate that you want us here, but until we win the lottery, we can’t just be there in case someone wants something to eat.
Please don’t misinterpret this as whining or complaining! We are simply asking for suggestions from those of you who care that we are here.
Thank you for your time and support. You can contact us at coalcreekcoffee@hotmail.com
