Renovation of Paradise Valley Little White
Church
comes to a halt: someone stole building
materials |
|
August 11, 2015 |
This has been a big summer for the Little White
Church in Paradise Valley. The long-time area
landmark, over 100 years old, has been enjoying
an intense renovation project, with all work,
time, and materials procured through donations
from people and businesses throughout Paradise
Valley and Boundary County. The goal has been to
turn the old, ailing structure into a vibrant
and useful community asset once again.
This community effort was dealt a significant
blow by someone who apparently sees no harm in
stealing from their neighbors. Siding and lumber
planned for use in the project is missing,
presumably stolen, from the church site.
According to Larry Hall, who has been
supervising the project, "On the morning of
August 11, we went to the Little White Church in
Paradise Valley to unload the siding we
purchased, and it was missing. Sometime between
the afternoon of August 8 and the morning of
August 11, someone stole all the siding,
together with six 14-foot 2x10’s and a rough cut
16-foot 2x10."
"All of this material was purchased with
donations made by your neighbors in Boundary
County," said Mr. Hall, "and the value is
estimated at approximately $3,000. We cannot
complete the renovation of the Church without
these materials."
If you have any information or have seen these
items, or know of anyone who suddenly has a load
of siding and rough cut lumber in their
possession, please call the Boundary County
Sheriff’s Office.
Would it be permissable for NewsBF to throw in a
little editorial comment here? For crying out
loud, where is this person's common decency and
honesty?? |
