  "Until we get all the facts together, it's too early to talk about it too much," said John Richards, owner of Tree Care Enterprises, the city-hired contractor that was removing a tree on Buckbee Street Tuesday when the accident happened.
  ...
  Richards offered little new information about the accident, only that three of the company's certified arborists were on site when it happened.
  
  A contract between Tree Care and the city calls for at least one certified arborist at each tree removal, he said.

  Many will be lost, said Richards, who has researched the problem and is preparing a presentation for local municipal and landscape officials.
  ...
  Instead, said Richards, municipalities and homeowners need to monitor ash trees and decide which ones are worth trying to save with injections.
  ...
  Richards, who has spoken out on the city's need to reforest itself with a variety of trees, said the ash borer price tag could be high.The cost of removing just one adult ash, and replacing it with another tree, could well approach $1,000, he said.

  "Let snow melt off the trees before climbing them - unless it's an emergency," recommends John Richards, president and owner of Tree Care Enterprises, Inc., in Rockford, Ill. Even then, he says, the trunk and limbs will be wet and slippery, so be sure to be tied in at all times.
  
  Richards suggests using extra caution even on basic jobs during storms and cold weather."The stress and cold temperatures make even a routine takedown risky.If you're in a white pine whose branches are holding snow, don't trust all your weight on any branch," he warns.

  John Richards of Tree Care Enterprises in Rockford said his crews have been busy this spring because of the storm.
  
  "A lot of trees were damaged or weakened, and no one even knew it," said Richards."Now, the slightest wind brings branches down."
  
  His firm gets cleanup calls this year after 20 mph winds, which normally just blow on through without any problems.
  
  Richards advised homeowners to check out trees they think survived the storm.Look for cracks and branches that are partially or totally snapped off but remain lodged up in the tree.And look carefully at the top of the tree, where storm damage may not have been noticeable last summer.
  
  Cracks can sometimes be repaired to save the tree, Richards said.If you've got a big branch wedged up high, he recommends you take the safe route and have it removed.

  "If the guys can keep it in the fairway, they'll have no problems," said John Richards, owner of Tree Care Enterprises."There's going to be a lot of unplayable lies.But it will work."
  
  Richards said the course will not be "totally cleaned up" before the start of the tournament but it will be "playable and safe."
  
  "If people saw this after the storm, they'd be shocked that the Pro-Am is even going to happen," Richards said."It's a miracle."
  
  It will likely take months to fully clear the course, Richards said.
