never a tree too big or a job too tough for Woody. He enjoyed his job as a lumberjack and with good reason. The pay was good, he had always liked the outdoors and he was good at what he did. In fact, some say he was the best. His friends in the city however said he was crazy for moving away. They said there are so many opportunities in the city, but Woody never wanted opportunities, he just wanted to be a lumberjack. So far this job was running smoothly. They were on schedule and there was
Great Bear Rainforest The controversy over logging, and more specifically clearcutting, is not a new issue in America. Ever since the 1920's and 1930's, when this nation started to become conscious of conservation, citizens have weighed the consequences of logging. Critics have questioned whether the increase in jobs, tax dollars, and economic growth was worth the destruction of forest lands.

One day, Paul’s parents
I walk along the narrow logging road, scuffing my feet in the four inch dust. I am delighted to see my dad's big, green skidder, a machine used to drag logs from the woods to the road, up ahead, hopping over stump after stump. I scan the small, freshly-cut patch of aspen trees, lying in the luscious bed of fallen leaves. In his skidder, my dad carefully backs up to the butts of the trees and grabs them up in one skillful sweep of the giant grapple. The huge machine gently speeds to a constant

The first set of settlers had to open up the forest to build the town and achieve basic necessities of life. In 1850, the lumberjacks were dealing primarily with hand tools to cut down trees that weighs more than 5 tons, but over time the cross cut saw was invented which replaced the axe and horses were used to move logs through the rugged terrain of the forest.

14th-seeded Stephen F. Austin in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. What went wrong for the third-seeded Mountaineers? Everything. First, WVU lost at its own game.

The courageous lumberjack decided there and then to approach the beast and confront him. The strange “monkey man” quickly fled, though, as the man approached the river. Upon examining the tracks left behind, the lumberjack concluded that the prints were almost identical to that of a human, except for the extremely

Everyone at some point in their lifetime has seen or heard of the Disney fairy tales such as the well-known Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and so on and so forth.

the many screens that we are subjected too constantly. We begin to have certain pictures as to how things ‘ought to be’ because we have seen them depicted so on television or films. We have these preconceived notions on certain things such as: “lumberjacks are big hairy men” or one of the more overly used ones: “the nail salon technicians is always Asian and they always talk shit on you while you get your nails done.” One
