THE DAVEY BULLETIN
TESTING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS
Employees from Davey's Santa Cruz R/C office helped
students at Salesian Sister's School in Corralitos, California,
test the structures they built to keep their eggs safe for a
physics class project.
The eggs were dropped from the bucket at 60 feet. But,
before the eggs started to fall, Jeremy Nama, sales and
service coordinator, said the students got a lesson in
Davey safety.
"When we started setting up, we showed the kids what
we had to do to make the area safe, not only for them but
for us," he said.
Nama said the students used all kinds of approaches to keep
their eggs safe. Some kids used a parachute-style approach,
and others created winged structures, like an airplane.
"One kid had theirs wrapped in foam wrapping and bubble
wrap," Nama said. "It was the size of a basketball."
Jeremy Nama, sales and service coordinator, and Tomas
Garcia, groundman, spent the day dropping eggs from their bucket
truck while students watched in anticipation to see if their eggs
would survive the fall.
DAVEY SPONSORS 5K RACE
Davey's South Baltimore office helped sponsor the 7th
annual Red Hot Run 5K and Family Fun Walk hosted by
the Roland Park Country Day School, a private girls' school.
Kevin Mullinary, district manager, said his office has been
working with the school for 15 years.
"They definitely appreciate the sponsorship," he said.
"We get a lot of exposure from the school and even just
the neighborhood."
This year's event raised $17,000 for school programs,
including the Endowment for Student Financial Assistance
and the Endowment for Faculty Compensation.
At this year's race, 469 people took part from the school and
the community. Photo provided by Roland Park Country Day School.
REDS CALL FOR HELP
The Cincinnati Reds contacted Davey's North Cincinnati
R/C office after a car hopped the curb and struck an elm
tree outside the Reds Hall of Fame Museum.
The tree broke in half, so the office replaced it with a
zelkova. Davey is proud to have a strong relationship with
a historic Cincinnati institution.
Eric Langdon, landscape foreman, North Cincinnati R/C office,
replaces a damaged elm tree at the Cincinnati Reds Ballpark.
