    A woman's place is on the job By Kevin Zimmerman
    Donata Wolterding, a journeywoman carpenter with Local 111, has spent the last 14 years in this male-dominated profession. She's been working on the Route 3 project since November and expects to stay until the job is finished next spring.

    'It's not really a gender thing,' said Wolterding. 'The jobs are hard anyway. You just really need to apply yourself.'
