Yep, you are right....again. Here is the excerpt: "It's pretty significant to have him here. It means a lot," Mainella said. Bush used a handsaw to trim tree branches along with a 30-member crew working to reduce wildfire risks on the park's eastern border, which abuts the YMCA of the Rockies. "It's not a chainsaw, but it will work," he joked as a clutch of national and local media watched. Bush called out to park staffers and volunteers, "How's everybody doing?" and he met and chatted with several workers. He then picked up a shovel for erosion-control work on the Glacier Basin trail spur, which runs along the flank of Emerald Mountain at an elevation of about 8,700 feet. The president, wearing chinos and hiking shoes, helped dig out two shallow trenches, then set logs to limit trail wear. The chock-chock of his shovel joined that of 11-year-old Karl Kraemer, a YMCA camper from Missouri. "You did the hard part, didn't you?" the president asked Kraemer and other trail workers. "This is once-in-lifetime!" Kraemer later exclaimed. Referring to the president's trail work, he said, "It shows me he likes interacting with people and helping with the environment." It came in the last part of the article. The first part of the article was about him going to a baseball game and environmental protesters. It didn't seem at all like the article was focused on the image portrayed by the picture. In fact, the coverage of the protesters made it kind of confusing. Maybe his PR people can shine a proper light on this at a later date.
