27 January/February 2018 | THE DAVEY BULLETIN FIELD NOTES SPRUCING UP FOR A PRESIDENTIAL VISIT A rainbow shines over the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, one of several locations U.S. President Donald Trump visited during his stop in Hawaii en route to a tour of Asia. Davey crews handled several landscape care requests for the president's Hawaiian visit. Hawaii crews from Commercial Landscape Services and the Davey Tree Surgery Company provided landscape care services in preparation for a visit by U.S. President Donald Trump. Jaime Buenrostro, general foreman, Hunt, Ohana Military Communities, said crews pruned trees to eliminate deadwood and raise the canopy about 15 feet at the property where the president and his team received a briefing from the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Commander before visiting the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Buenrostro said the three-day project was performed in advance of the visit at the request of the Secret Service, who wanted the canopy raised to improve sight lines around the property. "Kenny Tyler, one of the lead foremen in charge, said the property was abuzz with Secret Service staff prepping for the president's arrival," Buenrostro said. Cinde York, alternate contract manager, Ohana Military Communities, said the Secret Service also requested the pruning of several large hedges at the property, re-installation of a stone walkway and sanding and leveling stones on a back patio. "These were all safety-related requests," York said. "The Secret Service asked for the work so nobody could hide, nobody could get hurt and nobody could hide anything detrimental to the president's entourage." Davey employees who took part in the work included Hirama Ah Key, Alan Ayala, Jofler Balisacan, Villamor Farinas, Cody Hamme, Kyle Kaalele, Torben Larsen, Tasesa Patu, David Ramirez and Kenneth Tyler. " I don't let any truck out of the shop unless it's at 110 percent. We are talking about employees' lives here. As we work on the vehicles, we think about the safety of the employees in the field and make sure nothing is going to happen to them. We are like a family here, and we want to help each other as much as possible. Personally, I'm an employee- owner and purchase stock every paycheck. I take advantage of anything Davey has to offer – the stock program, 401k, etc. – because I've seen what it's done for my older co-workers. " OWNER'S BOX MIKE BOYLE quality control technician Kent Shop, Kent, Ohio
