03:53 - AUCTION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT

03:54 - I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE SAID TO

03:57 - BRING IT BACK TO THE VALLEY

05:57 - LOVE TO HAVE HIM SURE IT WASN'T

06:00 - TIME.

06:02 - I WAS A CHILD WHEN PAINTING

07:03 - COLLECTOR AND THEN ONCE

07:05 - CHILDREN CAME ALONG THAT THAT

07:06 - BECAME MORE DIFFICULT SO THEY

07:08 - SLIDE SAID I REALLY DON'T WANT

07:10 - TO DO TAX COLLECTOR RIGHT NOW

07:11 - AND THEY SAID HOW ABOUT WORKING

07:13 - AS THE AUDITOR SO I SWITCHED

07:16 - GEARS AND WENT FROM A TAX

07:18 - COLLECTOR TO WATER FOR

07:19 - BLOOMING VALLEY AND I DID THAT

07:21 - FOR

07:21 - MANY YEARS AND THEN THE CURRENT

07:51 - WORKING WITH COUNCIL ALMOST

07:53 - EVERYONE HAD BEEN THERE 2025

07:54 - YEARS. AND

07:56 - RECENTLY SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE

07:58 - FOLKS HAVE STARTED TO RETIRE

08:00 - STEP DOWN AND WE'VE BEEN

08:02 - WORKING ON GETTING SO.

08:04 - YOUNGER PEOPLE INVOLVED IN OUR

08:09 - TO FILL IN TO BE APPOINTED TO A

08:12 - POSITION OF SOMEONE WHO RETIRED

08:15 - SON TIED AND HE WAS INTERESTED

08:22 - MY SON TAUGHT ON AS THE

08:24 - APPOINTED PERSON TO FILL IN THE

08:33 - >>AND I'M STANDING IN

08:34 - BLOOMING VALLEY UNITED

09:57 - PRETTY DISTINGUISHED.

10:00 - >>SAVINGS THAT WE

10:03 - SINCE WE RAISE IN TAXES AND

10:05 - GOING RALLY. WE STILL DO THE

10:08 - SNOWPLOW.

10:14 - ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE

10:16 - MORE COSTLY THAN MOST FOLKS

10:17 - EVEN THE MAGIC.

10:20 - WE'VE NEGOTIATED A CONTRACT

10:22 - WITH A LOCAL WASTE MANAGEMENT

10:23 - COMPANY WHERE WE SAY THE

10:24 - RESIDENCE PROBABLY HALF OR MORE

10:27 - WHAT WOULD NORMALLY COST THEM.

10:29 - THE PURCHASE IT ON THEIR OWN.

10:31 - SO I FEEL VERY HAPPY WITH THAT.

10:34 - AND THEN RESIDENTS HOPEFULLY DO

10:35 - AS WELL.

10:37 - >>HI MY NAME IS

10:38 - MARK LEWIS AND THE SERVICE

10:39 - FORCED HER WITH THE DEPARTMENT

10:41 - OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL

10:42 - RESOURCES BUREAU FOR ST.

10:44 - WE'RE HERE IN BLOOMING VALLEY

10:46 - TODAY TO MEASURE THIS BEAUTIFUL

10:48 - BLACK WALNUT FOR OUR BIG TREE

10:50 - PROGRAM.

10:52 - BY BOOMING VALLEY HAS A PRETTY

10:54 - GOOD HISTORY OF SOME LARGE

10:56 - TREES IN THE AREA. WHEN THE

10:59 - SETTLERS MOVED IN THE FIRST

11:00 - THING THEY DID WAS START

11:01 - CLEARING TREES. BUT MANY TIMES

11:04 - WILL FIND THESE BIG OLD TREES

11:05 - IN THE DOOR YARDS. YOU NEVER

11:07 - QUITE KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING

11:08 - TO FIND HIM. SO WE WANT TO

11:10 - MEASURE THIS TREE. FOR THE BIG

11:12 - TREE PROGRAM, THE BIG

11:13 - TREE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE FOR

11:16 - COUNTY WIDE STATEWIDE EVEN

11:18 - NATIONALLY.

11:20 - THE WAY THEY'RE MEASURED AS 3

11:22 - SEPARATE MEASUREMENTS.

11:23 - CIRCUMFERENCE HIGH IN CROWN

11:25 - SPREAD. SO NO MATTER WHERE

11:27 - TREES LOCATED. WE CAN ASSIGN

11:29 - THAT POINT SYSTEM TO IT.

11:31 - TO A LARGE EMPHASIS IN THE

11:33 - STATE NOW ON SUBURBAN AND URBAN

11:36 - TREES AND HOW IMPORTANT THEY

11:37 - ARE. IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

11:40 - MOST OFTEN WHEN YOU FIND THESE

11:41 - BIG OLDER TREES LEFT OVER, YOU

11:44 - FIND THEM IN THE DOOR YARDS.

11:46 - RIGHT IN FRONT OF A HOUSE OR

11:47 - AROUND THE HOUSE THAT'S BECAUSE

11:48 - THEY PROVIDE THE MEDIA

11:50 - BENEFITS FOR SHAVING FOR THE

11:52 - HOUSE. IMMEDIATE THE

11:55 - FINANCIAL BENEFITS. THERE'S

11:57 - ALSO QUITE A FEW HEALTH

11:58 - BENEFITS THAT GO ALONG WITH

11:59 - HAVING TREES IN YOUR

12:00 - NEIGHBORHOOD AND ON OUR STREETS

12:02 - THAT'S BEEN SHOWING THAT

12:04 - BUSINESSES SELL MORE WHEN THEY

12:05 - HAVE STREET TREES NEARBY.

12:07 - THAT PEOPLE ARE CALMER AND

12:09 - FEEL BETTER WHEN TREES ARE

12:11 - AVAILABLE COUNTRIES ARE IN

12:12 - THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.

12:14 - THE BIG TREE PROGRAM IN

12:16 - CRAWFORD COUNTY WAS FIRST

12:17 - STARTED IN 2004.

12:19 - THE BLACKWATER BEHIND ME WASN'T

12:21 - MEASURED UNTIL 2009, SO IT'S

12:23 - NOW 10 YEARS LATER.

12:25 - AT THE TIME IT WAS MEASURED.

12:26 - IT WAS THE 7TH LARGEST IN THE

12:28 - STATE. SO WE GET THAT WITH OUR

12:29 - MEASUREMENTS TODAY WE'LL SEE

12:31 - WHERE IT STACKS UP. SO FOR THE

12:33 - BIG TREE PROGRAM WHETHER IT BE

12:35 - COUNTY STATE OR NATIONAL.

12:38 - WE HAVE 3 MEASUREMENTS. SO IT

12:40 - DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU'RE

12:41 - MEASURING A REDWOOD IN

12:42 - CALIFORNIA, A BLACK WALNUT IN

12:44 - PENNSYLVANIA, THE 3 MEASUREMENT

12:46 - STILL APPLY. THE 3

12:48 - MEASUREMENTS. WE HAVE OUR

12:49 - CIRCUMFERENCE HI AND CROWN

12:51 - SPREAD. WE GET ONE POINT FOR

12:53 - EVERY INCH IN CIRCUMFERENCE ONE

12:56 - POINT FOR EVERY FOOT IN HEIGHT.

12:58 - AND ONE POINT FOR EVERY 4 FEET

13:00 - IN CROWN SPREAD. WE ALWAYS

13:02 - START WITH A DIAMETER.

13:04 - THE MEASURE 4 AND A HALF FEET

13:06 - WHICH IS THE B H WE MEASURED UP

13:08 - TO 4 AND A HALF FEET ON OUR

13:09 - TREE. WE'LL START THE TAPE.

13:17 - TRY AND KEEP A LEVEL AS WE GO

13:18 - AROUND.

13:24 - AND OUR CIRCUMFERENCE IS RIGHT

13:25 - AT 14 FEET. SOURCE SIGN.

13:28 - ONE INCH ONE POINT FOR EVERY

13:31 - INCH IN CIRCUMFERENCE.

13:33 - SO THE SECOND MEASUREMENT THEY

13:34 - WERE GOING TO TAKE THESE ARE

13:35 - HEIGHT MEASUREMENT I'VE GOT THE

13:37 - TAPE MEASURE AT THE BASE OF THE

13:39 - TREE WE NEED TO GO 100 FEET OUT

13:41 - FROM THE BASE.

13:44 - A 100 FEET I'M GOING TO USE A

13:45 - KILOMETER.

13:47 - THE KILOMETER HAS 2 DIFFERENT

13:48 - SCALES ON IT ONE IS AT A 100

13:50 - FEET FOR EVERY TAKE ON THE

13:51 - KILOMETER THAT'S ONE FOOT IN

13:52 - HEIGHT. SO AS I LOOK AT THE

13:55 - TREE.

13:58 - EVEN THOUGH IT'S DOWN SLOPE.

14:04 - A LOOK UP

14:04 - THE TREE. AND THE TOP HARD TO

14:06 - FIND THE HEIGHT, THE TREES YOU

14:08 - DON'T ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE PART

14:09 - CLOSEST TO YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK

14:11 - THROUGH THE FOLIAGE WHERE THE

14:13 - ACTUAL HEIGHT IS.

14:18 - POSITIVE 70.

14:20 - WHICH MEANS THE TREES 82 FEET

14:22 - IN HEIGHT, WHICH IS GROWN

14:23 - SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THE LAST

14:24 - TIME WE MEASURE IT.

14:27 - SO AFTER THE HEIGHT MEASUREMENT

14:28 - THE LAST MEASUREMENT WE'RE

14:29 - LOOKING FOR IS CROWNED SPENT

14:30 - THE CROWN SPREAD IS A LITTLE

14:32 - MORE DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN.

14:33 - BASICALLY WE'RE MEASURING THE

14:35 - DRIP EDGE OF THE TREE.

14:36 - WE TAKE THE DRIP EDGE

14:38 - MEASUREMENT OR THE CROWN SPREAD

14:40 - MEASUREMENT AT THE WIDEST POINT

14:42 - AND THE NARROWEST POINT AND

14:43 - AVERAGE THE 2 TOGETHER.

14:46 - THEN EACH FOR GETS A QUARTER

14:48 - POINT.

14:49 - WE ADD THAT TO BOTH THE

14:50 - CIRCUMFERENCE AND HEIGHT POINT

14:52 - A COUPLE WITH OUR FINAL TALLY.

14:55 - SO AFTER ALL OUR

14:56 - MEASUREMENTS TODAY.

14:58 - THIS BLACK WANTS TO WIND UP

14:59 - BEING ABOUT 7TH LARGEST IN THE

15:01 - STATE WHICH IS STILL PRETTY

15:02 - SIGNIFICANT. THE LANDOWNER HAS

15:04 - AN INTEREST IN A BIG TREE,

15:06 - OR THERE WOULD LOT OF THE

15:07 - PROPERTY THEY CAN CALL SERVICE

15:08 - FOR SIR. WE HAVE ONE SERVICE

15:10 - FOR SIR FOR EVERY COUNTY IN

15:11 - THE STATE. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED
