MACOMB TOWNSHIP — A new method of drain repair was recently employed by the Macomb County Public Works Office, preventing further damage to a key sewer with minimal interference to locals. Throughout March and April, contractors for the county have been using a spiral-wound pipe repair process to fix a severely deteriorated pipe at the intersection of 21 Mile and Garfield roads in Macomb Township. The deterioration was caused See DRAIN on page 4A

MSU researchers work to keep Michigan hops healthy BY ALYSSA OCHSS AND DEAN VAGLIA aochss@candgnews.com dvaglia@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Michigan farms may be known for crops like cherries and corn, but in recent years, a new homegrown crop has taken the state by storm — the humble, hearty hop. Originally brought to Michigan over 100 years ago during a homesteading boom, the past 20 years have seen a rise in Michigan hops production. And while Michiganders have been able to reap the rewards of this rise, thanks to breweries macro and micro, things have not gone down entirely smoothly at the hops farms. Michigan hops are uniquely vulnerable to diseases, a problem caused by the highmoisture environment anyone from the Great Lakes State is well aware of. “A lot of our cultivars that are currently available at commercial levels were bred

and developed for growers in other parts of the world where they don’t receive as much rain,” said Erin Lizotte, Integrated Pest Management coordinator and senior statewide educator with the Michigan State University Extension. “We’re kind of fighting an uphill battle because we have much wetter weather here in Michigan, so we need our breeding program to develop cultivars that are more at home in those wetter environments and more disease resistant to those diseases we see in wetter environments.” This moisture vulnerability has opened the door for a variety of infections to take hold of the state’s hops crops, the two most pressing being downy mildew and halo blight. “Downy mildew has been around since the beginning,” Lizotte said. “I’d say that’s the disease we have spent the most resources and time on tackling, and I think we’ve gotten to a point where growers are able to See HOPS on page 13A

by a chemical buildup due to the high level of sewage flowing through the pipe, which carries waste away from Shelby Township and Macomb Township. “All of this agitation is happening, and it creates hydrogen sulfate,” Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller

said. “It is extremely acidic. Sometimes you’ll walk by a sewer grate and you’ll smell an odor — that’s what you’re smelling.” Acidic hydrogen sulfate ate away at the concrete pipe, creating a situation that Miller feared could lead to a sinkhole forming if nothing was done to fix it. Normally, the county would use a slip line repair method, but that would require a massive footprint to bring in new pipe and would involve shutting down the

intersection during the installation. A slip line repair would also reduce the sewer’s diameter and slow down the flow, in addition to reducing the flow while work was underway. The Macomb County Public Works Office instead decided to use the spiralwound pipe repair method, requiring less surface and underground disruptions. In doing so, the project became the first in Michigan to employ the technique. “It is very much like traditional slip lining, with the exception of we don’t have to dig a large shaft to push pipe into it and we’re utilizing existing structure such as manholes or bolts to access that sewer,” said Anthony Aderhold, of SAK Construction, the contractors performing the work. “The materials for SPR come on large spools, and it’s a PVC strip. We use an advancing machine that winds it into the pipe.” The advancing machine pulls and snaps the PVC around the existing pipe structure before supports and a structural grout are applied to lock the lining in. The use of only an advancing machine and a pipe spool reduces the surface footprint. The lack of workers going into the pipe allows the sewer to flow

as it normally does, and the smooth PVC pipe reduces the friction of the pipe section without significantly changing the diameter. SPR repairs are not common. Aderhold said SAK only does about two or three repairs of this kind a year. “They are a niche product,” Aderhold said. “It comes into play when an owner is looking at it and goes, ‘Man, we have very little room for equipment or we can’t bypass it.’ From a cost perspective, it’s very comparable to traditional slip lining where you have a deep trench or a large diameter pipe, but the production rate is quite slower on (traditional slip lining).” The rehabilitation project cost about $3 million and is expected to last for 50 years. At press time on April 19, grout was being applied to the pipe. The county expects the project to be completed in May. “We are well on our way to getting this thing complete and hopefully get the traffic cones out of the way,” Miller said. Repairing the pipe is not the last thing the department plans to do in the 21 Mile and Garfield area. A small air scrubber will be built near the intersection to manage the hydrogen sulfate odors from the sewage. Construction of the scrubber is expected to be completed by late 2025.

Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice S. Miller receives the Michigan Recreation & Park Association’s “Local Elected Official Award” from Amy McMillan, director of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks, on April 13.

MACOMB COUNTY — The Michigan Recreation & Park Association has honored Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller with its “Local Elected Official Award” for her years of efforts to improve the quality of life for Michigan residents through parks and recreation promotion. “This was an unexpected honor, and I’m very grateful,” Miller said in a statement. “Throughout my career in public service, I’ve always tried to think about quality of life and how we can improve the quality of life for everyone. Even though I might be the one getting the award, members of the association deserve awards for all the things they do for the quality of life for our folks throughout Michigan, each and every day.” Miller’s work toward public parks projects includes securing funds for the Freedom Trail hiking and biking path along Metropolitan Parkway and a focus on improving water quality for boaters and anglers through maintaining and improving sewer infrastructure. “From my perspective, what is so impressive is Candice’s will and drive to get things accomplished, utilizing all of her available resources to do so,” said Kyle Langlois, Sterling Heights parks and recreation director and chairman of the MParks Public Policy Committee. “Her ability to collaborate with all stakeholders to work together for a common purpose is second to none, and she should be viewed as nothing less than a model for other county public works operations to emulate.” The Local Elected Official Award was announced recently at the MParks Conference and Trade Show and was presented to Miller at the April 13 meeting of the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority’s Board of Commissioners, held at the Stony Creek Metropark Nature Center.

Insect control: A homeowner’s guide to surviving the spring season BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — The spring season is a safe haven for Michiganders. It’s not only a prequel to the beautiful summer months, but it’s also a season people tend to look forward to as soon as the rainfall and cold fronts of September come around. But as warmer weather approaches, the spring season showcases one problem most homeowners find themselves having to tend to. “With the warm weather last week, people are seeing a lot of wasps and different types of bees around the house, and spiders, pavement ants, the tiny sugar ants and carpenter ants are starting to emerge,” Michael Kharsa, who works for CJB Pest and Mosquito Control in Farmington Hills, said April 18. Kharsa has noticed an influx of calls as the season rolls around. Ants, bees and spiders tend to be the primary culprits during this time, especially with insects trying to find safety from the rainfall. Michael Mangino, owner of What’s Bugging You in St Clair Shores, has noticed this with his recent jobs. “With ants, they’re coming into houses a lot more,” Mangino said. “A lot of it is probably attributed to our high water table, I imagine. They’re going into houses and finding paradise there.” The insects’ ability to make their way into residences is a reminder to have your house sprayed on a consistent basis throughout the year. CJB Pest and Mosquito Control offers a tri-seasonal package for spring, summer and just before the winter months to treat any issues that homeowners might face. Kharsa said CJB focuses on not only eliminating the threat but also on preventing insects from making their way into the house. “When we come out, we’re going to treat around your interior and exterior part of your walls to force the insects from the structure, and we’re going to put a perimeter service around the exterior to prevent the insects from coming in,” Kharsa said. “Basically, we’re providing a barrier and forcing the ones from the walls outside.” Pest control doesn’t stop with treating an insect problem; it can also provide a home inspection, to some extent. While CJB and What’s Bugging You, and many other pest control companies, offer spraying services, a technician will also walk a residence with a homeowner and discuss areas that might not only

With that foundation and key returners in sophomores Jaylen Daughtery, a forward who led the team in rebounds with 233 this season; guard Cameron McEvans; forward Shawn Brown; and guard/forward Tom McNelis, second-year coach Hassan Nizam — who earned Michigan Community College Athletic Association Coach of the Year honors in 2021 — said the team was confident going into the year.

be hot spots for insects but also should be treated to prevent future home issues. Mangino said the inspection is a vital part to the service he provides. “Of course, walking with people around their house and pointing out things that could be beneficial, like caulking some areas, pitching the water away from the homes is a big thing, and trimming back foliage away from the house,” Mangino said. “Those are all things that contribute to keeping the longevity of the home, as well as keeping pests away.” For those who are motivated to do it themselves, safety is the primary concern when dealing with pest control products. It’s plausible for minor problems, but consistent issues should be treated by professionals, especially if the homeowner has pets or small children. “The right way to go about it is to read and understand the label 100%,” Mangino said. “The label is the law in our industry, and that’s for good reason because you can get hurt. You can hurt somebody else, and some of these products that people are able to buy online are traditionally for professionals only. There are some great products available that the public can seek out and find, but a lot of them tend to go away in our industry because homeowners misuse them.” As the spring season approaches, active insects should be an important reminder to keep up on pest control treatment throughout the year. The rain and warmth in spring calls for treatment due to the insects becoming active, but an important time frame to keep an eye on is before October. To keep the insects from getting “weathered in,” when they get inside the walls due to the cold temperatures, a service spray before winter is needed. But like most services, the best way to resolve the problem is to keep up with it regularly. “As far as spider treatments and general pest control, that’s more of an exterior spray. If people want it to remain as general pest free as possible, typically spring, summer and fall treatments,” Mangino said. “If they wanted any sort of treatment on the inside, what I would recommend, at the very most, would be early spring with light treatment on the inside with cracks and crevices.” Call Staff Writer Jonathan Szczepaniak at (586) 498-1090.

“The mindset was to finish the job in terms of Danville and qualifying for the national tournament,” Nizam said. “We felt like last year, we had a top-five, top-six team in the country. It was about finishing; it was about getting back and finishing.” Macomb earned the school’s first national tournament win in school history in a 72-59 first round victory over Chesapeake College on March 21 at Mary Miller Gymnasium in Danville behind freshman guard/ forward Aidan Rubio’s 25-point performance. Rubio would follow up his impressive

performance with a dominant 23-point showing, leading Macomb to a 66-63 win over No. 1 seed Davidson-Davie Community College in the quarterfinals on March 22. Rubio, who led Macomb with 12 points per game and 56 blocks on the year, was a dynamic two-way guard and formed a dominant backcourt with freshman guard Tamario Adley, who finished second in scoring with 11.6 points per game and who had a team-high 45 steals on the year. “If I had to describe both those guys in one word, I’d say ‘special,’” Nizam said. “Aidan and Tamario are both guys who

could’ve averaged 20 points per game for us, but they both decided, ‘We’re going to play the right way, and it’s not going to be about an individual; we’re going to play good team basketball.’” In the semifinals against Danville Area Community College on March 24, Adley scored 17 points while Rubio added 16 and a team-high nine rebounds to earn the 69-67 comeback win in overtime over the hometown favorites. Maxey, who led the team in three pointers made this season, added 13 points in the win. See MCC on page 9A

Macomb was behind by double digits for the second consecutive game in the tournament, but a 17-3 run launched Macomb into the lead. Danville countered with a 12-2 run of its own to take a four point lead, but Macomb answered to take the game into overtime. That’s when Macomb showcased the nation’s top-ranked defense, holding Danville scoreless the final three minutes in overtime.

WAYS TO REDUCE NOISE IN YOUR YARD THROUGH LANDSCAPING BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Unwanted noise can come from all different directions, whether it is from the road, airplanes or neighbors’ parties. If your home is located somewhere with bothersome noise, there are several ways to reduce it through natural and man-made products. Richard A. Kolano, P.E, the principal consultant at Kolano & Saha Engineers, said the length of a sound barrier is important while attempting to reduce noise, especially from a road. “The sound barrier has to be generally quite long,” Kolano said. “If you have a 50-foot wide lot that backs up against the roadway, unless your neighbors also have a sound barrier that connects to yours and extends along the length of that roadway, your 50-foot length of wall alone is not going to do all that much. That’s why when you see highway road noise barriers there they tend to be fairly long.” Kolano said the noise-reduction strategy for

a yard depends on the geometry of the home relative to the noise source. “Generally with a sound barrier, there’s an acoustic shadow zone, and the farther out you are from that barrier, the less benefit the barrier provides,” Kolano said. “You need to be in that shadow zone to receive the most benefit.”

Natural barriers

Cameron Judge, the owner of Detroit Landscaping Co., said he tends to prefer natural solutions to remedy noise issues in a yard. “I, personally, think the more plant life, the better. It looks better, in my opinion,” Judge said. One natural solution that landscapers often recommend to reduce noise and provide privacy is planting arborvitaes. “Arborvitaes are probably the best for that, and they do look really good because they get to a decent size, and it is like a natural wall around your property,” Judge said.

Plumbing problems can be frustrating for any property owner, and while it’s easy to find a contractor to find and fix the problem, it’s tougher to find someone to do the job right and explain what they’re doing. “We like to provide excellent customer service and great communication, to leave the customer not just with the completed service, but to explain it to them, to run through what we’re doing,” said Alex Pirkovic, the owner of Delta Plumbing & Mechanical. Pirkovic knows about customer service. He previously worked in law enforcement and also for the Macomb County Public Works Office. “I like to explain to the customer what we’re doing and why, so the customer is informed and knowledgeable, so they don’t just spend money on the project,” Pirkovic said. “At the end of the day, they’ve got the product, good customer service and they’re knowledgeable about what’s going on.”

sionary Landscaping, said people often plant spruce trees and arborvitaes to reduce noise. “Spruce trees and arborvitaes grow larger and are denser compared to deciduous shrubs that will lose their leaves in the fall,” Carrier said. Since dirt is a good sound barrier, Kolano suggested people look into living walls, also known as green walls and vertical gardens. Kolano said these are popular in Europe. “A living wall is essentially a pile of dirt that is stacked up vertically and has plant materials that grow on both sides of it, so the root structure helps to contain the dirt within that wall,” Kolano said. “The plants don’t do much from an acoustic standpoint. It’s the dirt that is providing the sound barrier. The plants make it look attractive.” Local Acre and Vertical Earth Detroit owner Mark Hanford specializes in the design and installation of living walls. “What I have noticed is, every time that you have a living wall, it has a definite muting (quality),” Hanford said. “It kind of holds the sound close, and it takes that reflective sound away.”

Due to the materials, height and density of many fences, they are not as highly recommended by Kolano. “It’s limited as to when that can be a benefit, because it depends upon the geometry of the home relative to the noise sources, such as the road traffic,” Kolano said. “A fence, per se, isn’t going to do very much. It needs a sound barrier wall, which means it needs to have a significant amount of mass to it that is without penetrations, without separations between boards, for example, that you would have in a fence.” However, they can provide some benefit, and if one would like to purchase a fence for the benefits they may be able to provide in reducing noise, there are certain things to keep in mind. Randy Huyck, the general manager at Action Fence of Michigan, said the best fencing material to reduce noise is stone; however, he said it is expensive, and many communities do not allow it. Other options include wood and vinyl fences. Huyck said it is best to look for the densest materials available. He also recommends planting things around the fence to help absorb sound. Renee Hannaford, office manager of Mr. Fence Inc., and Kevin Temerowski, owner of Michigan Fence Solutions, both recommended a 6-foot-tall vinyl fence to absorb noise.

manage downy mildew effectively on-farm.” Downy mildew shows up as a fuzzy spore mass on leaves, turning the undersides black. It has proven very resistant to winter conditions, so early-season pruning has proven to be the most effective way of preventing its spread. MSU research has also allowed farmers to begin using plants more resistant to downy mildew infections. While downy mildew is an old problem for hops growers, halo blight is the new troublesome fungus on the scene. MSU researcher Timothy Miles was the first to take notice of the disease in 2018. It shows up as black splotches on leaves and kills hops flowers in a way that leaves only parts close to the stem untouched — a green halo atop a pale infected cone. “Since (2018), his lab and crew have been sussing out what (halo blight’s) life cycle looks like, as well as how we can potentially control it in hopyards,” Lizotte said. While the search for the secret to stopping halo blight is ongoing, MSU researchers have made strides in combating hops-affecting viruses. Carolyn Malmstrom’s work in the field led to her developing hops virus testing protocols, allowing growers to send samples to MSU for testing and diagnosis. As it stands, the surefire way of fighting disease on hops is by preventing it from taking hold. Farms, nurseries and other growers

coming year in October after the harvest,” Lewis said in an email. “I have never had an issue with being able to get what I need. The quality has been outstanding and year to year very consistent.” Brian Tennis, owner and founder of Hop Alliance, said it was too early to tell how the crops for this year will do, but that last year was one of their best harvests yet because of good weather and other factors. He said their hops weren’t affected by diseases last year. “Fortunately, not for us,” Tennis said. “We’re up right up in the Leelanau (Peninsula), like right around the 45th Parallel, so

we really haven’t seen a lot of the damages that some of the other farmers in the state have.” Lizotte says MSU researchers have been involved in studying hops since “day one” of the plant’s return to the Mitten State in the 2000s, planting the seeds for what has become a strong partnership between the growing industry and academia. “The partnership between the university and the industry is really critical to both of us,” Lizotte said. “We really take our lead from the industry on what their priority needs are. Without the industry of research at MSU, I don’t think we would have a hops industry in Michigan.”

can keep plants and seeds sanitized, infected leaves and flowers can be pruned away and disposed of, and fungicides can be applied to plants to kill whatever lingering disease remains. But Lizotte said the goal of MSU’s scientists is to have plants become naturally immune to common diseases. “I don’t want to call it a Band-Aid, what we’re doing now in terms of fungicides and cultural management practices, but we’re also really hopeful that, down the road, we can start to transition to cultivars that are just more at home and happy growing in Michigan,” Lizotte said. Until then, frequent vegetation management and other prevention methods are the best way of ensuring large, quality crop yields. Todd Parker, the head brewer at Rochester Mills Beer Co., said they go through Michigan hops providers when they can and that the state of Michigan has a good hop industry. “Definitely knowing your supplier is important,” Parker said. “A lot of the suppliers are good about keeping the diseased hops out of the system.” Jeremey Lewis, the brewer and co-owner of the Copper Hop Brewing Co. in St. Clair Shores, and co-owner Ryan Balicki said in emails that they couldn’t speak about the overall health of hops in the state. But Lewis said they use 45th Parallel as the distributor for their in-state hops — this includes Cascade, Centennial, Mittelfruh and Fuggle varieties — and that they’ve never had a problem. “I typically order what I need for the

Veterans Gallery coming to St. Clair Shores May 19-28 ST. CLAIR SHORES — The public and veterans can look forward to a series of events leading up to Memorial Day geared toward learning more about the veteran experience hosted by Project Brotherhood Resolve. Joseph Gemayel, founder of Project Brotherhood Resolve, said the first Veterans Gallery Show was held three years ago. “We started back in ’21, a bunch of veterans, we got together and put on a show for Memorial Day weekend,” Gemayel said. “We had a good turnout (and) decided to do it last year again and decided to do it this year again.” Virginia Carstarphen, co-owner of Trader Todd’s Marina, said her husband purchased the marina, formerly known as Harbor Nine, in 2019 and she noticed that while they used it in the winter for storing boats, it wasn’t getting much use in the summer. “It’s such a beautiful space that I, you

know, with my art background, this would be a great space to host art shows and events of that nature,” Carstarphen said. Carstarphen said Gemayel was an employee for her in Chicago at one of her restaurants near Wrigley Field. She said after his tours of duty in Iraq, he became really interested in helping other veterans. She said she posted about using the space at Trader Todd’s Marina on social media to see if anyone was interested and that Gemayel contacted her. “He immediately contacted me and said I have this idea to put together a veterans show,” Carstarphen said. “And it really resonated with me. My father was a veteran of the Air Force (and) worked for the Veterans Administration his entire career.” There are a couple different events this year, which is different from previous years. The reason behind that, Gemayel said, was to gain more exposure. “When you pitch an art gallery to people, most people may not show up because they’re not interested in just seeing art,” Ge-

mayel said. “So, to kind of gain exposure, we decided to throw in different events in there to get people out here.” The veteran art gallery is not limited to a specific subject or medium, Gemayel said. “We don’t want to alienate any artists that want to display their(s) because not all of them are going to be thinking about the same thing,” Gemayel said. “That’s what makes this gallery unique. It displays, like I said, different artists and their different styles of work, their different genres.” Gemayel said some of the veterans use things such as art as a form of therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. “It’s not just going to the VA and popping pills, it’s different methods of therapy,” Gemayel said. “And some veterans, especially ones that are not, don’t think of them being artists, or don’t like doing art, that might be the therapy that they need to move on with life and get better.” The comedians at the comedy night are veterans local to Michigan, Gemayel said, and some of them use comedy as a form of

PTSD therapy as well. One of the veterans is a double amputee, losing both legs overseas, and uses comedy as therapy. These are not veterans-only events, Gemayel said. They are open to the public so they can see what goes on in the veteran community. Some of the events require registration, and it can be found by going to their Facebook page, clicking on events and following the link listed. The Military Formal and the close out event are not ticketed, but donations are appreciated. The Gallery Opener on May 19 includes the showing of the private documentary “Saving 22.” The documentary is about veteran suicide and the struggles veterans go through every day dealing with suicidal thoughts. “Twenty-two veterans die at their own hand every day in America,” the “Saving 22” website indicates. “Current statistics are 27.5 per day. The incidence of PTSD, depression and anxiety is at an all-time high.” Gemayel said the target audience for See VETERANS on page 17A

waukee Area Technical College, Macomb fell short in an 86-65 loss on March 25. Adley led the scoring with 12 points, while Daughtery tallied his second double-double of the tournament with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman guard Linden Holder, who led the team in assists with 121 this season, and freshman

forward Tymias Williams, who finished third in scoring on the year with 10 points per game, each added eight. Adley, Rubio and Daughtery were named to the NJCAA Division 2 all-tournament team. Nizam had high praise for his guys and Milwaukee Area Technical College head coach Randy Casey. “He (Casey) had his team more prepared for that national championship than I personally did,” Nizam said. “They had been there for

the last three or four years, and they had a lot of success doing it. We just ran out of gas. Our guys played their hearts out all week, and they played their hearts out that night.” While the players poured their hearts into the season, the Macomb coaching staff has proved itself to be one of, if not, the strongest in the Michigan Community College Athletic Association. Nizam said coaches Kyle Lorentzen, Tyler Johnson and William Patsalis were key contributors to the team’s success. “Those guys are the reason we had great practices,” Nizam said. “Those guys put the game plans together, and those guys are the reason our guys developed the way they did. They deserve way more credit than they get. Hopefully, I think they’re going to be stars in this profession as the years go by.”

Just weeks after the season’s end, Nizam has already begun the recruiting process for the 2023-2024 Macomb basketball team. It’s a tough pill to swallow knowing the ride is over with a historic group as guys go their separate ways, but Nizam said they will always be part of the Macomb family no matter where they continue their careers. “Our relationship with them doesn’t end when they take off the Macomb jersey for the last time; that’s really where it begins,” Nizam said. “You come to Macomb, and this is a lifetime commitment that we’re going to make to you and to each other. We want to see you become great fathers and husbands, and just great members of society. We want to see you achieve all your goals.”

with them in the township to see if we can increase the tree canopy and take advantage of the tremendous benefits of having a wider canopy,” Clinton Township Treasurer Paul Gieleghem said. Normally held in Sterling Heights, the sale is a partnership between the county and the Blue Water Conservation District. Macomb County residents buy plants through the conservation district and pick them up at one of two sites, in either Armada or Clinton Township. Gieleghem expects there to be a surplus of plants available with anyone who has not pre-ordered one getting to pick from the remaining stock of paper birches, black cherries, Norway spruces, Douglas firs, red osier dogwoods and whatever other trees and plants are available. Plants are priced from $7 to $25. Trees are sold as bare-root trees with thin, undeveloped trunks and roots exposed to the wind. David Lowenstein, consumer horticulture extension educator at the Michigan State University Extension in Macomb County, said plants like these need to get in the ground as soon as possible. A good way of making sure you can

plant the tree quickly is by digging a hole before going to the sale, although not just any hole or location will do. Trees need space to safely grow, both by having the air free of hazards, like power lines, and a footprint on the ground roomy enough for the roots. “You want to dig a hole that’s about two to three times the width of the root bulb,” Lowenstein said. “Those roots are going to spread horizontally in those first couple of years; you want to make sure they have space to grow and that they’re growing in an area where the soil isn’t compacted.” If you must leave your tree out, keep the roots submerged in water and plant be-

fore the summer comes. “Don’t plant a tree in the middle of the summer, because the tree is going to be stressed with the hotter temperatures and it is less likely to mature and survive,” Lowenstein said. Watering trees once they are in the ground is essential. Young trees need more water than rain alone can provide, so give the tree a gentle watering at its base every day. Aside from their aesthetics and ability to capture carbon dioxide, Gieleghem says trees provide a suite of benefits to streets and neighborhoods. Trees have been linked to in-

creased property values up to 15% and lower costs of cooling thanks to canopies, and they engender calming behaviors within people around them, slowing neighborhood speeds by 3-15 mph. “We’re viewing this as an opportunity to work with residents to provide a convenient way to help them beautify their yards, and in doing so, they’re going to be able to enjoy the benefits of watching trees grow, but the community benefits in a lot of different ways,” Gieleghem said.
