A very special thanks to Dabid Rodriguez & Clarence Bryant who have been with the team since day one of the Blackhawks start; Dabid's skills have improved immensely these past two years, and I look forward to watching his high school ball.

With most of the roads still impassable, this, unfortunately, has forced cutters into some areas not designated for woodcutting. The Forestry Department has al lowed some areas for woodcutting that cutters have been able to get into, however, the concern is to make sure you are cutting legally. You might check with forestry to get your permit updated and for special cut ting in other areas. Before leaving for the woods, make sure to get your permit changed and approved. As per a meeting with the forestry department, discussion included re quirements of the woodcutter that allow helpers to assist out in the field. Only "family" members are allowed to be out in the woodcutting areas. On approval of forestry, the ZIP J i K. ; . :...
