BUSINESS Palo Alto’s money trees Not just a thing of beauty, greenery boosts the economy, research says by Jocelyn Dong rees — the heart and fiber of Palo Alto. Trees create the T famed character of the city’s residential boulevards and serve as the symbol of Palo Alto. At Christmas, there’s a whole lane dedicated to them. Palo Alto’s love affair with trees goes back to the founding of the city, so it’s no wonder that Palo Alto’s No. 1 tree group, Canopy, has invited a renowned expert to extol the virtues of the foliage this Saturday as the kickoff to Arbor Month in Palo Alto. But hers will be no poetic reading, nor botanical lecture. Instead, research social scientist Kathy Wolf of the University of Washington will present research that goes beyond

Nicholas Wright the beauty — exploring how trees stimulate the economy. According to Wolf, money really does grow on trees. Wolf’s research has shown a con- nection between shoppers’ attitudes Mayor Jim Burch (second from left) and City Manager Frank Benest talk with residents at Palo Alto Cafe over coffee and orange juice Wednesday. and tree-lined business districts.

Early next year, on that same block, passersby may also discover live theater performed in the intimacy of a basement space. If all goes accord- ing to plan, people strolling down University Av- enue will get the chance to see “The Heidi Chronicles,” Wendy Wasserstein’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play, in a 50-seat black-box theatre. That is the dream of Meredith Hagedorn, the founder of local theater company Dragon Pro- ductions, which is currently staging “No Exit” (see sidebar) at the Pear Avenue Theatre. “Our goal has always been to provide quality professional theater, producing rarely seen works in an intimate space,” Hagedorn said. The Palo Alto resident envisions a bright fu- ture for her 5-year-old company, which has pre- viously had to rent space in a variety of venues. Her goal, beginning in 2006, is to operate a five- show season in a permanent space in downtown Palo Alto. To accomplish that objective, the com- pany is launching a huge fund-raising campaign, with the goal of raising $120,000 — $50,000 by this July. Hagedorn has already found a basement prop- erty that would provide both rehearsal and per- formance spaces, as well as a cafÈ for after-the- ater munching. It is just the kind of gathering place Palo Alto does not have, Hagedorn said, adding she would love to fill that void — so much so she recently quit her day job in order to concentrate full-time on this dream. “It’s much cheaper below-ground. That’s what made me think this dream could be a reality. “And there’s a wealth of community that comes to downtown Palo Alto. There’s more than 40 restaurants in a five-block radius, so there’s all these people coming downtown and Director Jane Bement Geesman (left) and Dragon Productions founder Meredith Hagedorn, photographed at the Pear Avenue Theatre.

The Palo Alto Weekly publishes obituaries about people who lived in, or played a prominent role in, the community. Obituaries are written by staff writers, based on information provided by mortuaries and/or family members. Due to space limits and other reasons, we may not include all the information a family wishes. Some families choose to write their own memorial announcements, then purchase space to publish it.

The Classified Department handles funeral announcements for a small fee based on length of text. Photos may also be included. For information call 326-8210, ext 239 (Blanca) or email [email protected]
