Dennis, Are they digging a tunnel over at P4?
- Dennis E. Park, MA
  
  Thanks for the question. No, they are putting in a drainage system that goes under the new parking lot to the east of P4. Stay tuned, I will be putting up photos of the area where the pipes will go in.

Dennis, are there any women on this construction crew. I have been seeing are men in the pictures.
- Dennis E. Park, MA
  
  Yes, there is one female by the name of Liz and her photograph appears in the section: Portraits: To Those Who Get the Job Done. She works days and an occasional night shift. She is a very competent worker and is respected by the crew. She drives heavy equipment, uses power tools, takes her turn at guarding the gates when they are open. Of course there are women who work in the trailer offices, but she is the only female that is not afraid to get her hands dirty. Good Question.

I think Pokemon moved again.
