same skills and equipment. I am assuming there are a lot of new chain saws
out there from the Tulsa ice storm last year. Teams will include
Burn Teams, Weedkiller Teams (experienced only) and Seeding Team
volunteers. We will need plumbers, welders, doctors, fencebuilders, brush
clearing, etc..... We will need donations of money, seed, food,
equipment and other items. We will need people to help prior to the
workday, as well. Getting organized is a job in itself.

<P><FONT color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Everything I said last
year, applies again this year. As many of you know, the affects of
previous ice storms were devastating to the fencelines. Two years
ago, the workday was successful in standing up all 12 miles of the fence and
cleaning up many of the roads. Last year we built new fences and worked on
some of the interior projects. We will do this again. We will
also revisit the fencelines to repair damage from the limbs that have finally
fallen from the canopy and damaged the fence, as well as clearing a fenceline
road for the tractor. Br. Joseph has been communicating with the state
about a land clearing program he has joined. To get the money he expects,
they have described the clean up of the pastures and the cleared woods he needs
to complete. We will move many of the teams to this
task. Unless there is a burn ban, we will be building small burn
piles and have trained Burn Teams supervising the burning of these piles.
We could use some overnighters this year to monitor those fires over
night. This is one of the requirements of the state that Br. Joseph is
unable to satisfy by himself. This is a year round task.

<P><FONT color=black size=2><SPAN

responsibility of the work guide is to get workers to the work sites, describe
the work task to them and keep them from working too hard. <STRONG><B><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">SAFETY FIRST</SPAN></B></STRONG> is the primary duty
of the work guide. Prior to the workday, the work guide should get
familiar with the tasks they are to accomplish and request the supplies they
believe will be necessary to be successful. We will have many of the same
work areas this year.</SPAN></FONT></P>
