If you are like me, you are planning to try to squeeze one more jaunt to the beach, the mountains, or the downtown this summer. If you travel like an arborist, you’ll be looking for some trees or diseases that aren’t common at home, and you might also be looking for some tree-care practices that aren’t common at home. If I could get my readers to start travelling like an arborist, that would be good. But if I could get my readers to start traveling like a municipal arborist, that would be great. How does a municipal arborist travel? Yes, like any arborist, a municipal arborist sees and thinks about trees. But a municipal arborist also thinks about how people mix and how and people and trees mix. Recently I read about the work of Harvard social scientist Raj Chetty. Chetty and others have demonstrated that certain U. S. geographical locales have predictable outcomes for the economic advancement of children who grow up there. As far as I can tell, Chetty’s insights have nothing directly to do with natural geographic features. Instead, they have to do with the way people mix in those locations. But this is no surprise to a municipal arborist. From a “people-mix”—or municipal—perspective, municipal arborists (and to a large degree everyone else) already know the implications of the term “leafy suburbs.” In other words, some locations have better qualities of life than others, and community trees are central to those better places. So if I had my wish, whether they go around their town or around the world, I want my readers to see this. I want my readers to see that community leaves don’t only build quality suburbs, they build quality communities. So on a vacation trip to the beach, mountains, or city, readers with a municipal eye will see some of the same things. From a small, north-country town like Glen Arbor, Michigan (population 855) to a larger Florida beach city like Naples (population 21,948), even though the street trees change from red mulberries to royal palms, in both cases, the trees announce a

Each year, more than 1,000 volunteers in Charlevoix, Michigan plant five miles of bright flowering petunias (more than 1,200 flats) along the sidewalks of its main thoroughfare. So the people-mixing ingredients surpass trees and include public landscaping and hardscaping. Yes, it takes a sidewalk to mark a “tree lawn,” and to invite people outdoors to mix socially and commercially. Subtract the grass, the trees, or the sidewalks, and you have a completely different feel. As I look around, the best old and new neighborhoods have all three ingredients. A municipal arborist knows the best people-mixing ingredients don’t just happen. It takes community vision, funding, implementation, maintenance and enforcement to bring the park-like feel to our residential and commercial neighborhoods. And I’d like my traveling readers to catch that vision.

NOW HEAR THIS BY JEANIE SLUCK TAYLOR COMMUNITY LIBRARY
New audio books available at the Taylor Community Library.
“The Woman in the White Kimono” by Ana Johns Japan, 1957 17-year-old Naoko Nakamura’s prearranged marriage to the son of her father’s business associate would secure her family’s status in their traditional Japanese community, but Naoko has fallen for another man, an American sailor, and to marry him would bring great shame upon her entire family. When it’s learned Naoko carries the sailor’s child, she’s cast out in disgrace and forced to make unimaginable choices with consequences that will ripple across generations. The United States, 2019, Tori Kovac, caring for her dying father, finds a letter containing a shocking revelation, one that calls into question everything she understood about him, her family and herself. Setting out to learn the truth behind the letter, Tori’s journey leads her halfway around the world to a remote seaside village in Japan, where she must confront the demons of the past to pave a way for redemption. “The Amish Cookie Club” by Sarah Price Edna’s friend, Verna, has a problem. Her outspoken 20-year-old daughter, Myrna, has been fired from her job. Again. Myrna’s family really needs her to chip in, but she’s clearly unsuited to customer service, not to
mention that her sharp tongue scares away any boy who might come courting. Now Edna has an idea, and his name is Ezekiel Riehl. A widower with four young children, Ezekiel needs help. His house and his brood are a mess, his demeanor is gruff. It’s no surprise Myrna takes an immediate dislike to him. Yet she has no choice but to take on the challenge and soon she starts to create order out of chaos. In fact, the kids begin to depend on Myrna and so does Ezekiel. The truth is, she’s fallen in love with him. If he’s to prove he’s not looking for a marriage of convenience, he’ll have to convince her of what’s in his heart. “Bloody Genius” by John Sandford At the local state university, two feuding departments have faced of f on the battleground of science and medicine. Each carries their views to extremes that may seem absurd, but highly educated people of sound mind and good intentions can reasonably disagree, right? Then a renowned and confrontational scholar winds up dead, and Virgil Flowers is brought in to investigate, and as he probes the recent ideological unrest, he soon comes to realize he’s dealing with people who, on this one particular issue, are functionally crazy. Among this group of wildly impassioned, diametrically opposed zealots lurks a killer, and it will be up to Virgil to sort the murderer from the mere maniacs. “Dragonfly” by Leila Meacham At the height of World War II, a handful of idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the government, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women are all from very different backgrounds, but each for a secret reason of her or his own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly. This begins a dangerous game, as the group seeks to stay under the radar until a fatal misstep leads to the capture and the firing-squad execution of one of their team. But is everything as it seems, or is this one more elaborate act of espionage? “The Empty Nesters” by Carolyn Brown Friends and army wives Diana, Carmen, and Joanie have been through war, rumors of war, marital problems, motherhood, fears, joy, and heartache. But none of the women are prepared when their daughters decide to enlist in the army together. Facing an empty nest won’t be easy. Especially for Carmen. With emotions already high, she suffers an even greater blow, divorce papers. Diana understands the fury and tears. She’s been there. With nothing to lose and no one at
home, the girlfriends impulsively accept an unexpected offer from their elderly neighbor. The recently widowed Tootsie has an RV, a handsome nephew at the wheel, and an aim for tiny Scrap, Texas, to embrace memories of her late husband. Still grieving, she can use the company as a balm for her broken heart. So can the empty nester. Now with the open road ahead of them, it’s just the beginning “The Enlightenment of Bees” by Rachel Linden At 26, Mia West has her entire life planned out, a Craftsman cottage in Seattle, a job baking at The Butter Emporium, and her boyfriend, Ethan, by her side. When Ethan declares he “needs some space,” Mia’s carefully planned future crumbles. Feeling adrift, Mia joins her housemate Rosie on a humanitarian trip around the world funded by a reclusive billionaire. Along with a famous grunge rock star, a Rwandan immigrant, and an unsettlingly attractive Hawaiian urban farmer named Kai, Mia and Rosie embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Now Mia’s heart is challenged and changed in astonishing ways, ways she never could have imagined. As she grapples with how to make a difference in a complicated world, Mia realizes she must choose between the life she thought she wanted and the life unfolding before her. “Hold Back the Dark” by Kay Hooper The Chosen have been warned. Powerful psychics across the globe have gotten the same eerie and insistent message: Go to Prosperity, because in this small North Carolina mountain town, madness has taken hold. Trapped in a nightmare they can’t escape, the residents of Prosperity are killing one another, waking up with no memory of the monstrous acts they’ve committed or the reasons why. Chief Deputy Katie Cole knows that whatever evil is afoot is beyond her expertise, and beyond the understanding of Sheriff Jackson Archer. They need help. The Special Crimes Unit is called in for its specific brand of investigation, to aid the Chosen as well as the once-peaceful mountain town. It will take all the agents’ training, all their experience, and every extra sense they can call on to get to the bottom of things in Prosperity. As a sinister pattern begins to emerge, even the most experienced and hardened SCU agents must brace themselves for a flood of darkness unlike any the world has ever seen. “The Inn” by James Patterson The Inn at Gloucester stands alone on the rocky shoreline. Its seclusion suits former police detective Bill Robinson, novice owner
and innkeeper. As long as the dozen residents pay their rent, Robinson doesn’t ask any questions. Neither does Sheriff Clayton Spears, who lives on the second floor. Then Mitchell Cline arrives, with a deadly new way of doing business. His crew of local killers break laws, deal drugs and bring violence to the doors of the Inn. That’s when Robinson realizes, with the help of journalist Susan Solie, that leaving the city is no escape from the reality of evil or the responsibility for action. Teaming up with Sheriff Spears and two fearless residents, Nick Jones and Effie Johnson, Robinson begins a risky defense. The solitary inhabitants of the Inn will have to learn, before time runs out, that their only choice is between standing together or dying alone. “Lies in White Dresses” by Nan McNamara Francie Meeker and Vi Carothers were sold a bill of goods, find a man, marry him in a white wedding gown, and live happily ever after. These best friends never expected to be on the train to Reno, those “lies in white dresses” shattered, their marriages over. On board the train they meet June Samples, who is fleeing an abusive husband with her daughter, and take the vulnerable young mother under their wing. The three decide to wait out the required six weeks together, and then they can toss their wedding bands into the Truckee River and start new lives as divorcees. As they settle in at the ranch, one shocking moment will change their lives forever. As it brings their deceptions and fears into focus, it will also demand a reckoning with the past, and the choices that a person in love can be driven to make. “The Memory of You” by Jamie Beck Steffi Lockwood has survived more than most. Recovering from an assault, she returns to her coastal Connecticut hometown to rebuild her life the best way she knows how, with her hands. Starting a remodeling business with one longtime friend puts her in the middle of a rift with another. Worse, being hired by her ex-boyfriend’s mother forces her to confront old regrets. Public defender Ryan Quinn wasn’t shocked when his wife left him, but he was floored when she abandoned their daughter. With his finances up in the air, the newly single dad returns to his childhood home in Sanctuary Sound. The last person he expects, or wants, to see working on his family house is Steffi Lockwood. Although Steffi and Ryan are different people now, dormant feelings rekindle. When Steffi’s secrets begins to surface, will it bring them together or tear them apart for good?
