Social Hour
Kyle Clark, co-anchor of 9NEWS Denver at 6 p.m., 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., is a "very funny
news anchor," according to East Denver R/C Foreman Jason Judd.
Clark is also well-known for disliking photos of patio furniture covered in snow,
which represented many images viewers sent to 9NEWS during past snow storms.
So, when Judd left Clark's home after completing a day of tree maintenance, Judd left
the note pictured below:
Clark posted a photo of the
note on his official Facebook
page the following day with the
comment, "Well played, Davey
Tree, well played."
The post received more than
1,000 likes, nearly 40 comments
and several shares by Clark's
followers and fans. DaveyCare

Tree Care

Tree Care
in Disguise
Davey arborists perform tree care work on the
grounds of The Greenbrier, a resort in White Sulphur
Springs, West Virginia, that is home to a massive
underground bunker built in the late 1950s to serve
as a bomb shelter to house the entire U.S. Congress,
members of their family and their support staff.
Dozens of U.S. presidents have stayed at the resort,
which saw its beginnings as The Grand Central
Hotel in 1858. The federal government decommis-
sioned the bunker in the 1990s after its existence
became public knowledge. Now visitors to the
resort can tour the underground facility.

An Old Tree
Not Forgotten
Idea submitted by: Len Burkhart,
technical advisor, Davey Institute
Prometheus, a bristlecone pine tree, was
perhaps the oldest living tree on Earth (at
approximately 5,000 years old) until it was
chopped down in 1964 for science's sake.
Donald Currey, a late young scientist,
requested the permission of the U.S. Forest
Service to remove the tree to study its rings
and better understand the area's climatological
history. Several U.S. universities received por-
tions of the tree's remains for examination.
To commemorate the 50
th
anniversary of
Prometheus' death, Los Angeles, California,
artist Jeff Weiss hosted an elaborate guerrilla
ceremony in Great Basin National Park.
Perhaps many tree lovers are more aware of
Methuselah, now the oldest known non-clonal
organism on Earth, which is located in the
White Mountains of California.
