Disappearing Willow Woods?

Lately, when we get some rain it seems like all of the water ends up in the basement. Now think about that- water in a finished basement. We all get annoyed when we have to take the shop vac downstairs and sweep the water out of the carpet. So we called Ben (a construction worker). He came out and dug a big hole and they had to take down the eighteen willow trees. That's bad because our school is called Willow Woods Academy. We are hoping this will take care of the water problem (haven't really had too much rain since they came down), but it has left us with an awful mess. We will try to tackle the mess in the spring. As far as a new name? We'll probably stick with what we've got anyway. -Marcus
