The City of Inglewood Shows
Great Pride in One of Their Residents
Mayor James T. Butts recognized Inglewood resident Assata Gaines for her outstanding academic achievement. This fall, Gaines will be attending New York University Tisch School of the Arts where she will major in dance. Mayor Butts went on to say, “May you take full
advantage of this great opportunity that has been afforded to you. The entire community takes pride in your accomplishments, and wish you success in all of your future endeavors.” Photo courtesy City of Inglewood.

of soil, potentially causing tripping hazards
and sidewalk damage, and it won’t be anchored
as well. Giving a tree adequate water
encourages the roots to grow down instead
of out. Every tree, says Haro, has a kind of
shine to it. If the leaves appear dull or less
shiny, it’s usually an indication that the tree
needs more water.
Another area under his purview is Memory
Row, a section of El Segundo where trees
may be purchased to honor lost loved ones
through the parks department and cared for
by Haro himself.
Haro keeps in his yard a garden oasis at
his own home, plentiful with flowers and
trees and plants. “I love working in the yard,”
says Haro, “Good therapy. You feel a sense
of calm when you work in your yard.”
If you have questions regarding a tree
on your property or anywhere in the city,
the parks department can help. Trees are
an integral part of El Segundo, thanks to
its certified arborists and their hardworking
teams. “The Parks Department takes great
pride in the care of their trees, as much as
the residents love having their trees.” • Keeping a tree trimmed in the South Bay.
