Paul Duclos drives a wedge into a section of a 100-year-old oak tree Wednesday morning in Lewiston’s Kennedy Park. The city had several rotted trees cut and gave Duclos permission to haul them away for firewood and projects. Duclos said a woman asked if he could make her a checker/cribbage board from a section of the tree that had no rot. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
