Whether its a residential or a commercial lawn that needs to be kept green and looking lush, the father and son team of Bob and Don Dahlk can install and service an irrigation system through their business, Capitol Lawn Sprinkler.

In addition to residential and commercial clients, the Dahlks also install irrigation on sports fields. A specialty installation that has become popular is irrigation for hops fields for brewery applications. Drip irrigation for plant beds, hanging baskets and pots is another application that Capitol Lawn Sprinkler can install. The living wall, an indoor installation of tropical plants at the Promega headquarters in Fitchburg, uses an irrigation system installed by Capitol Lawn Sprinkler.

The business began in the spring of 1984 as an offshoot of a family business run by Bobs nephew. Originally, the business was just father, son and one other person. The business was run from Bobs home until 1990. Today, there are 17 employees, including five service technicians.

Bob serves as the president of the company. He has a background in landscaping and irrigation dating back to 1960s. Don is the secretary and treasurer. Don originally had planned to be a tax accountant and earned a degree in accounting. He gained experience working summers during college to run the office while being mentored by his father in the irrigation business.

Dons sister-in-law, Colleen Volker, has served as the business manager since 2006. Doug Volker, a cousin, is the foreman and has been with the company since 1989. The staff has years of on-the-job training, plus they attend manufacturer-sponsored classes, distributor meetings and seminars.

Using trench-less machines, which are specially designed to pull pipe underground, the irrigation system installation doesnt create a mess above ground. All that can be seen when the installation is complete are small cut lines. The business provides its clients with a spring startup and a fall weatherization, which are included with installation.

The seasonal aspect of the business raises many challenges. A season with a lot of rain isnt good for their business, nor is a winter without snow as they do snow removal.

We have a dedication to the environment, our customers, the green industry and our employees, Don Dahlk said. Knowing we make a difference in the lives of others is very important to us.

Men's Sheds group in need of unwanted tools,

Vicky Angear, Reporter Wednesday, September 3, 2014 8:00 AM

A GROUP of men who meet in Nailsea are appealing for people to donate unwanted tools and materials.

To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.

Mens Sheds meet at Nailsea Fire Station in Pound Lane once a month to enjoy shed-based activities while socialising.

The group is part of the Mens Sheds Association which was set up to encourage men to socialise and reduce isolation.

There are currently four members in the Nailsea branch, which provides a safe place for men to meet and talk about relevant issues, while working on shed-based projects or on the allotment.

Members are looking for unwanted work benches, tools, gardening implements, containers, old railway stock, wood or metal.

To donate to the cause or to find out more call Phill Wheatley on 07985 405777 or go along to the next meeting at the fire station on Monday from 3-4pm.

HELLERTOWN, Pa. -

A handful of Hellertown residents told Hellertown Borough Council Tuesday evening that they will not remove sheds and shrubbery in their backyards.

The residents approached council to express concern over recently being instructed they must remove sheds and shrubs on their property.

The homes are located along the Rails to Trail path.

Borough resident Richard Frankenfield said he found signs on his property on Front Street directing him to remove his shed and shrubs.

The residents also received a letter directing them to do the same, he said.

"We were told they [shed] would have to be moved within 60 days," he said. "We were very upset by this."

He also said inconsistencies exist between different properties. According to Frankenfield, newer property owners have been told their properties are fine.

Although Frankenfield's shed crosses over borough property, when he bought the property he was told extending past the line was fine.

"We keep getting different stories," he said. "We want to find out where this is going."

Multi-roomaudio is a popular addition to homes today, withSonosbecoming a leadingname in the space. But it certainly isn't the only player in the game --Denon, a high-end component maker,also has a solution, and has now teamed with Spotify for additional functionality.

The HEOS system comes in three different models -- the HEOS 3, HEOS 5 and HEOS 7. Each is sized differently and ranges from high-end performance to portable. And now the system has Spotify built-in.

"With HEOS, you can stream Spotify in any room of your home. Listen to tracks directly from your phone, tablet, USB drives or home network. Just use the Spotify app as a remote and control your music anywhere", the streaming service states.

In addition,Denonhas introduced HEOS Amp and HEOS Link, which combine to turn existing speakers and stereo systems into wireless zones. That's a handy feature for retro-fitting existing items.

DenonHEOSdoesn't come cheap, but the company is a high-end product maker, so that likely isn't a surprise. You'll also need to put out the monthly fee for a Spotify Premium account, but it may be worth it for those who have the extra cash to spend.
