Man Accused of Murder after He Tied Up, Robbed Another, Pinellas Deputies Say
The man died from being tied up and left on the floor during the robbery, Pinellas deputies said.
CLEARWATER – A man has been charged with murder after he tied up and robbed a Clearwater man who died, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.
Chris Weimer, 61, of unincorporated Clearwater, died sometime between Aug. 13 and Aug. 17 at his home from being tied up and left on his apartment floor during the course of the robbery.
Robert Michael Miller, 38, of St. Petersburg, was charged with one count of first degree felony murder. Deputies said he admitted robbing Mr. Weimer and leaving him tied up.
Deputies found Mr. Weimer's body about 8:14 p.m. Aug. 17 inside his apartment after they were called about a dead body. Deputies said they found Mr. Weimer's decomposed body with his hands tied behind his back and a piece of cloth that had been used as a gag on his mouth.
Investigators said they found that, on Aug. 12, Mr. Weimer picked up Miller in the area of San Remo Drive and Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Mr. Weimer, who was not known to Miller, bought
crack cocaine from Miller and invited Miller back to his home on Persian Drive in unincorporated Clearwater.
Miller and Mr. Weimer stopped off at a convenience store to buy beer and then went back to Mr. Weimer's residence. While at Mr. Weimer's apartment, Miller became angry when Mr. Weimer made sexual advances towards him. He struck Mr. Weimer in the head with his fist.
Miller tied Mr. Weimer's hands behind his back and placed a gag around his mouth, deputies said. Miller then stole Mr. Weimer's car keys, credit cards and other personal belongings. Miller left Mr. Weimer bound, but conscious and still alive inside the apartment during the early morning hours of Aug. 13.
Over the next several days, deputies said Miller used Mr. Weimer's credit cards to purchase merchandise at various local businesses and pawned the items in Pinellas County.
Clearwater police officers arrested Miller in connection with a burglary criminal charge Aug. 20 and he was taken to the Pinellas County Jail.
Deputies interviewed Miller at the Pinellas County Jail on Friday (Aug. 25). They said Miller admitted robbing Mr. Weimer and leaving him bound inside his apartment.

The Expo. It was the biggest expo that I've ever been to. I kind of felt like I was at Disneyland for runners. They had a really cool wall that you could scan your number and your name would appear with "Amy Owns 26.2" or "Amy Owns Chicago." I actually waited in a line to get this silly picture but I'm glad that I did.

If you like to be active on your holidays then Rarotonga has a fantastic selection of outdoor activities. One of the main on-land activities we recommend to guests is the Cross Island walk that takes you from the town (Avarua) side of Rarotonga to the South coast or vice-versa.
Photo Souce: Fleaphotos
The walk takes 2-3 hours depending on your level of fitness, with some parts an easy walk through bush and a few areas of climbing up over tree roots and rocks. With the reward being the awesome views looking across the Island from the 'Needle', which is the highest point on Rarotonga.
To get to the track you can either park at the start point of one end and walk up and back to your car, or you can catch a bus to return you to your car or start point. Some hikers choose to walk from town, starting in Avarua you walk 3km (a bit less than 2 miles) to the Avatiu Valley following the signs to the water intake which marks the start of the walk. From here you follow the path to the left of the houses until you reach the forest and you will see a path fork off to the right. From here it is about a 45min-1 hr walk to the top. At the top you will see a path to the Needle on the right hand side, this is the spot to get the best views.

You can then either head back the way you came or continue following the track across the Island to the southern coast and Papua Waterfall. The walk to the waterfall is covered in lush rainforest and features some giant ferns and the Papua stream. Once you reach the waterfall (also known as Wigmore's Waterfall) you can follow the gravel road out to the main Island road, past the Sheraton Hotel ruins.
If you would prefer a guided walk then there are a couple of companies who offer this, with the most famous being Pa's Treks. Pa is a local personality who specialises in traditional medicine and who knows much about Cook Island and Polynesian history and legends.
For more information about the walk ask at our reception or browse through some of the many Rarotonga tourist brochures and maps we have available. We can organise guided tours and assist with bus timetables and pick up areas.

The Cook Island 50th Independence celebrations that we wrote about in February are now in full swing! Every year the Cook Island's celebrate self-governance, something that they achieved in 1965, in what is called Te Maeva Nui. This 50-year milestone is being celebrated over the next 2 weeks with attendance and participation from thousands of Cook Islanders from the outer islands, Australia and New Zealand.
Over the last few days there has been a fantastic parade with more than 50 floats, the official opening with a beautiful ceremony full of colour and dancing, and Te Maeva Nui dancing performances held at the national auditorium.
Rarotonga has been full of amazing costumes, dances, songs, drum beats and colour! It is fantastic to see all the groups from the outer islands perform. These islands include Manahiki, Pukapuka, Penrhyn, Suwarrow, Aitutaki, and Mangaia to name a few.
Today is Trade Day, when people from the outer islands sell crafts and produce from their home. This is a great time to try some local delicacies. There will be more opportunities to visit the trade day stalls on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Source: Cook Islands Ministry of Cultural Development
The official Government programme starts next Monday, with New Zealand Prime Minister John Key attending. Tuesday 4th August is the official Constitution Day ceremony.
If you haven't made it to this or other year's Te Maeva Nui celebrations then we highly recommend this time of year to come and visit us.
So book it in – July/August 2016 celebrate with us in Rarotonga!

We are very lucky to have a fantastic selection of restaurants and cafes in the Muri Beach area, where our guests can enjoy anything from a coffee and French croissant to local Fish burgers and chips. Here are some of the places our guests love to visit:
Muri Night Food Market
What started out as a Thursday night market to cater for tourists staying in the Muri area, has now expanded to include Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays. The night market has a selection of delicious local food stalls including main meals such as cajun chicken, tuna with pawpaw dressing, local fish curry, chicken carbonara and a selection of dishes with a topping of our famous Rarotongan mushroom sauce!
Thursday and Sunday nights offer a greater selection of food stalls including an amazing assortment of desserts such as cheesecake, meringues, locally baked cakes and delicious pineapple and custard pies. Smoothies and juices are also becoming popular on the island and you will always find a stall with local fresh juice or custom made smoothies. Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually have at least four stalls, or more if it is a lovely evening.
Live entertainment is on Thursday and Sunday nights, adding to the great atmosphere. When the weather is nice there are tapa mats provided to sit on so you can enjoy dinner and music for the evening.
We recommend our guests visit the night market to taste the local cuisine and enjoy a fun evening under the stars while being entertained by local singers.
Rickshaw & La Casita
Other local restaurants in the Muri area include Rickshaw, a Vietnamese fusion restaurant that has a selection of Thai and Vietnamese food, with many dishes using delicious local ingredients such as locally caught tuna.
La Casita is a Mexican restaurant located next to Rickshaw which serves burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, pizzas and more.
LBV & Deli-Licious
LBV is a great café that has become very popular with both tourists and locals, serving great coffee and a wonderful selection of patisseries, deli and cooked items during the day, and a full fine dining dinner menu on Friday and Saturday evening.
Deli-Licious is across the road from LBV, serving fresh homemade salads and sandwiches, cabinet items, delicious coffee and more.
Located right on the water overlooking Muri lagoon, Sails serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a modern Pacific style flavour. This is a great place to enjoy a cocktail and enjoy the vibe of the Muri beach area.
These are just a few of the dining options available in the Muri area. We will be happy to recommend other dining options in Muri and around the Island, with many great local restaurants catering to all tastes and food requirements.

There have been quite a few whale sightings around the island recently, some not far from Rumours. If you are not already aware, June-November is Humpback Whale Migration season for Rarotonga.
The first sightings this year were at the end of May, and by the end of June there were daily sightings off Avarua and the west of the island. Most sightings have been in the mornings or evenings, but the 11am Reef Sub was lucky to get an amazing display from a male Humpback whale that sang, breached, and somersaulted for them for over an hour!
The best place on Rarotonga to spot humpback whales is along the north coast where the coral reef edge is closest to shore, and the most popular spots with good vantage viewing is Avarua Town and Black Rock on the north west coast.
It really is a spectacular sight to see these majestic creatures surfacing so close. Often you will see both mother and calf, and sometimes you may even see up to three whales surfacing together.
The whales migrate from the cooler climate of Antarctica up to the warm tropical waters of the Cook Islands to give birth. They usually spend a few months here with their calves, before heading back down to the Antarctica summer.
Rarotongan resident whale expert (Whale biologist and researcher) Nan Hauser has just arrived back on the island. She will now take some ID shots from the whale breachings to identify the age and sex of the whales we are seeing. The Whale Research Centre, located on the back road from Avarua Town, has information about the migration, news on recent sightings and a small collection of memorabilia. This is well worth a visit.

Rumours was approached last year by the NZ High Commissioner MrJohn Carter as to whether Rumours would be interested in helping this very worthwhile project. We committed a donation of a percentage of all the Waterfall Spa income over the months of November and December 2012.
We have recently transfered over the total amount to the NZ High Commmissioner for placement into the Troubled Youth Project account. Rumours would like to thank our great spa team and all the locals who supported the Spa during these months so that the funding in the Troubled Youth account could be substantially increased.
It is very encouraging to see projects like this being undertaken in the Cook Islands so that our young people can upskill and take a positive place in our community.

Last Wednesday morning two traditional double-hull waka arrived safely at Avarua harbour on Rarotonga. The crew are on an epic 10,000 km Waka Tapu journey from Auckland in New Zealand to Rapanui (Easter Island).
Leading the expedition is master navigator Jacko Thatcher who is one of five traditional Po (master) navigators in the South Pacific. The two double-hulled canoes Te Aurere and Ngahiraka mai Tawhiti have been built in the traditional style and are navigated using star compasses and knowledge of the stars passed down through generations of Polynesian navigators.
The sailors will be enjoying a well earned break on shore and all the people of the Cook Islands are incredibly proud of them.
If you are staying at Rumours, or anywhere else on Rarotonga have a look at the port in Avarua or ask at Trader Jacks and they will tell you where the two waka are moored.

It really was the worst kept secret in Rarotonga. Yes Hillary Clinton did arrive on our sunny shores, along with her incredibly large entourage and additional cargo plane! And I have to say, what an amazing visit for Rarotonga and for the Pacific Islands Forum. As we blogged last time, this was the biggest VIP visitor since Queen Elizabeth II in 1974.
The hype she created was huge, with locals still buzzing over the historic visit by the US Secretary of State and her delegation. While here, Clinton did an amazing job of talking to the locals while happily posing for photos. She even delighted some by thoughtful touches such as using a Polynesian inspired clutch purse designed by ex-pat Rachel Guinea.
In terms of official business, Clinton really did impressGiven what an incredible role model she is to women (intelligent and driven), as part of her visit she met with a group committed to improving the lives of Pacific women. There she spoke about gender equality and launched the Rarotonga Partnership for the Advancement of Pacific Island Women. This is an initiative between the governments of the US, New Zealand and Australia to support emerging women leaders, and establish networks for sustainable leadership development in the region.
At the Pacific Islands Forum she told leaders that "our countries are bound by shared interest and more importantly shared values, a shared history and shared goals for our future". The Forum participants then agreed to international commitment to sustainable ocean management and conservation. This included the launch of the World's biggest marine park, by the Cook Islands government. A huge 1. 2 million square kilometres (386,000 square miles), this is equal to the size of Egypt!
Of course much more was discussed, and it is hoped that the results of the forum will translate into real tangible economic benefit for the whole of the Cook Islands. Nevertheless, for those in the tourism industry one of the lasting legacies will be the amazing feedback Hillary Clinton and other Forum leaders gave to journalists while on their visit.
Hillary and other guests were reported to be 'spellbound' by our Islands' natural beauty, and charmed by the local people and the beautiful cultural performances. While on the Forum retreat, the local paper quoted one of the leaders as saying "this is heaven". And at the end of her visit, clearly taken with the Cook Islands, Hillary Clinton said she would prefer "not to go on to the next stop".
There is no denying; in terms of tourism promotion this was an incredible way to showcase our patch of paradise.

It is quite difficult to sell your house amidst the cold and erratic weather. You need to clear the snow and decorate your home to make it presentable to the prospective buyers. Moreover, not many people are interested in purchasing homes during the winter. Those who look forward to buy homes during the cold weather are serious people. The competition is not fierce during this time. These people just want to take advantage of this in order to grab a good deal. Real estate owners refuse to believe that people don't buy homes during the winter. In fact, real estate dealers opine that they are extremely busy during the winter season.
If you really wish to sell your home during the winter, then check out the 4 tips that home sellers often use to attract prospective homebuyers.
1. Make your house warm: People are not interested to buy cold houses. Who would like to shiver in the house? If your house is cold, then no one would like to buy it. If you do want to strike a good deal, then set the thermostat at 70 degrees. Don't think about the heating bill right now. You need to make your house warm.
2. Have a smooth and clear walkway: No matter how much you love snowfall, it can ruin your dream to sell your house to a prospective buyer. A person wouldn't want to even check out a house if it very difficult to reach there. Clear the snow in your walkway. Pick up a shovel and remove the snow from your walkway.
Make it a point to have a parking space before/beside your house. It will be difficult to clear the accumulated snow. However, you've to do it in order to attract a potential buyer. Make sure snow is not piled up at the front door of your house.
3. Give attention to the home décor: A potential homebuyer would like to see if he could live in the house comfortably. He would like to view it as his next home. So, it would be wrong to remove all the decorations from the house. No one would like to purchase a cold and barren home. Give a classy touch to your home. Don't go over-the top. It would send the wrong signal to the potential buyers.
4. Fix the day as per the weather changes: Timing has to be right. It is a bad idea to showcase your house in a cold, dreary and dark day. Surf the weather channels to know if a storm is looming at your place. Shift the appointment with the prospective homebuyer to another day. You can show the house in the afternoon instead of the morning or vice versa. Be flexible and careful to grab the best deal during the winter.
Finally, homebuyers will be pleased to see a snowman greeting them in front of the house. Do whatever it takes to make your home presentable. You can dress the snowman in a funky t-shirt. Make sure you put the "for-sale sign" board in the hands of snowman.

For this edition of News to Us, learn about water pollution issues related to septic systems in Michigan and how you can help prevent pollution. It is burn season as new vegetation emerges after a long winter. Prescribed fire is used to help control some of our most aggressive non-native plants such as Phragmites. Finally, a few success stories on how anyone from individuals to corporations can take actions to protect water resources.
Michigan has nation's weakest regulations on septic systems Michigan lacks the regulatory means to ensure septic systems are operating properly. Failing septic systems release wastewater and sewage into soils which can end up in our ground and surface waters causing issues associated with excess nutrients and bacterial contamination. Many of the homes in the Huron River watershed are on septic systems. A few local counties have inspection and repair requirements at the time of home sale, which helps. Regular pumping and inspection of your system is the best way to ensure your system is not contributing to water pollution issues. Here is a useful guide for homeowners on septic systems.
Thousands of failed septic tanks threaten Michigan's waters In a related article, learn more generally about Michigan's issues with failing septic systems and the Huron River's ranking in a recent study out of Michigan State University examining fecal contamination in water from septic tanks. Learn more about HRWC's Failing Septics project, which takes a different approach to identify and correct problems.
Phragmites all fired up Phragmites is a tall grass that invades wet areas crowding out native plants and drying up wetlands. Prescribed fire (an intentional, controlled burn) is a management tool to help control the invasion of this nuisance plant. Prescribed fires are common this time of year and provide many benefits to our natural areas.
Green City Diaries: Conserving water, improving neighborhood life Read an inspiring story about how two local residents are taking simple steps toward water conservation in their neighborhood and home.
Scotts drops phosphorus from lawn fertilizer Waterways across the country breathe a sigh of relief as one of the major lawn fertilizer companies drops phosphorus from its formula. Most soils have sufficient phosphorus to maintain healthy lawns. Excess phosphorus in water results in algal and plant growth that can quickly reach harmful levels. Michigan has been pro-active on this issue already banning phosphorous in lawn fertilizers. It is nice to see nationwide action to reduce the impacts of this pollutant.

Here's a few short but great posts by Brian Croft (posted on the Take Your Vitamin Z blog). They give ideas for questions to ask your spouse on date nights. (You are having date nights, right?) These are great ways to increase the communication in your marriage; They will encourage honesty, express love and interest, and help you to grow in knowledge of your spouse.
First, the links for the husbands. There are two posts for the men, and one for the women, because men need more help than women in the communication department. (You know it's true.) Here's the first: What Might Be A Surprising Way to Love Your Wife? It focuses on a single question to ask your wife: "What is something practical I can do to make you feel loved and appreciated by me?"
The Second post for the men is titled, "Great Questions to Ask Your Wife on a Date Night." Some of my favorites include:
– What can I do to make you feel like I enjoy being with you more than anyone else?
– What are some things I can do to encourage you, spiritually?
– What can I do to help relieve the stress of life responsibilities?
The post for wives can be found by clicking here. It looks equally as good.
Make use of these resources! It takes only a short time to review them, but you'll have be intentional about using these questions. The benefit to your marriage will be worth the effort!

It is always good to know that when you are travelling somewhere you can get help from a reliable local. Hong Kong Tourism Board has a LINE app which allows you to ask questions when you are travelling in Hong Kong. The service is as simple as that – you download the app (you can scan the QR code below) and, if you need help or have queries when you are in HK, you just ask on the app and someone from the tourist board will answer your questions.
The service is free. It is manned from nine to six daily.
Kudos to HK Tourism Board for the innovation. We haven't used the app and would be interested to hear our readers' experiences – feel free to comment below.

First Franchised Stores To Open After Company Units In D.C.
August 01, 2014 // Franchising.com // Washington, D.C. - CaliBurger™ announced today that it has executed a franchise agreement with an experienced operator to develop ten CaliBurger restaurants in Maryland.

The franchisee is Goel Management LLC, an organization that operates a portfolio of Baja Fresh restaurants in the Maryland area.

Finally, we see an opportunity to complete low cost conversions of existing locations being used by other premium burger concepts that have been unable to scale due to their much higher price points."
CaliBurger has operations in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and was recently named a "Global Top Five" restaurant by Bloomberg.

Our founders are California-bred with global ambitions, bringing the best of California culture, technology, imagery and food to markets that have long craved the famous California style burger.

"I am Kang the Mad. I make things explode, and I make things fly, and I'm very good at both. The things I fly tend to survive. The things I explode... not so much".
- –Kang the Mad
Kang the Mad is a forgetful and eccentric mad scientist found in the service of Gao the Greater. Kang was brought into Gao the Greater's service after he burned down some estates and was saved from his fate by Gao's bribery. Kang designed the locking mechinism for Gao's base, the Amber Mosquito and the Marvelous Dragonfly for Gao but was displeased with Gao's plan to duplicate his fliers. Eventually Kang turned on Gao when the Player arrived.
At the Second Battle of Dirge Kang blows up the only bridge in to block the Imperial Army's ascent.
Kang has lost his memory but regains it slowly through use of Lord Lao's Furnace. He is, in fact, Lord Lao.
As Lord LaoEdit
Lord Lao is a member of the Celestial Bureaucracy and the creator of Lord Lao's Furnace. Lord Lao was a master inventor and lord of machinary, he was also respected by inventors and workers of the human world but one day he somehow had angered the other gods. For this transgression he was banished into the mortal world, having his memory swiped from him and changed, but to remember his past he created Lord Lao's Furnace and left several configurations scattered among the mortal world.
He quickly joins as a follower, but when go back to Tien's Landing he cannot remember his past. When the Player uses a unknown wind map Kang has, they discover Lord Lao's Furnace as well as receiving a configuration, when they complete the dragonfly challenges and have successfully used all the configuration recipes, Kang's memory starts piecing itself back together. After which a wind map pinpointing Lord Lao's location is revealed to the Player and Kang. The Player then goes on another flyer mission but after completing it they ultimately discover that Kang is Lord Lao.
In some endings the people of the Jade Empire form a mob and go after Kang but using the celestial elevator he escapes and gives the Player a gift every year.
- Lao's Furnace subplot incomplete
- AND Water Dragon killed
After Sun Li's defeat, Kang the Mad enjoyed actual public appreciation for his devices. It was brief, however and as the Empire returned to peace, his machines once more became the greatest identifiable threat to the common good. His flyers grew faster and more durable, the driving force often an angry mob hurling ever larger stones. When last seen, Kang was boarding an alarmingly bare-bones device he had dubbed the Celestial Rocket Chair. While it allowed him to evade his latest pursuers, the launch also left a crater that suggested the escape was more permanent than he might have planned. Despite this, on each anniversary of their victory, <FullName> would find a fantastic new machine on his/her doorstep, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
- Lao's Furnace subplot incomplete
- AND Water Dragon tainted
After Sun Li's defeat, Kang the Mad was in great demand. There was a new Empire to fortify and <FullName> had Kang work around the clock. In time, however, Kang grew to resent how his devices were used. He felt that, similar to the flyers he had made for Gao the Greater, duplicates inherently diminished the effectiveness of them all. Kang became reclusive and eventually an explosion at his main factory appeared to take his life (and that of anyone that might have known his trade secrets). Occasionally there were reports of strange devices appearing on the borderlands of the Empire, but by the time any of <FullName>'s forces could arrive, any trace had disappeared.
- Lao's Furnace subplot complete
- AND Water Dragon killed
Revealing Kang the Mad as Lord Lao could have had a great effect on the Empire, but after the victory over Sun Li, Kang remained much as he was. He continued to build wonders for <FullName>, and he was still criticized for the chaos his machines created, but angry mobs have no sting when you are a minor deity. At first, Lao Kang found this liberating and his inventions reached new heights of destructive potential. But after a time, he realized that his pursuers had been the driving force behind him. Nothing stirs the mind like having your life depend on your next creation. Few understood his motives when he began actively arming his most vocal detractors, but he insisted, standing amidst the craters, that it was for the good of all.
- Lao's Furnace subplot complete
- AND Water Dragon tainted
After Sun Li's defeat, <FullName> fortified the Empire against any possible assault. Kang the Mad, revealed as the minor deity Lord Lao, continued his service to the new Emperor, creating ever more fearful devices, each intended for a more powerful target than the last. But Lao Kang knew that some day, probably sometime after helping subjugate the rest of the heavens, he would no longer be of use. He was certain that he would eventually be called to build a machine to pull his own heart out to steal his power, and that just gave him the willies. His last invention opened a portal to another plane of existence, and he, along with a good portion of the Golden Delta, disappeared within. Nothing says "I quit" like a crater the size of a lake.

I'm not quite sure what got into me, but I had a "Springtime in Paris" sort of moment the other day:
- Artistic Etchings and Fabulous Phrases stamp sets
- Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip card stock
- Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip Classic ink pads
- Big Shot and Elegant Bouquet Textured Embossing folder
Paris seems like the perfect city for a special celebration. It's on my list, that growing list of places I hope to visit. I have a very romantic vision of Paris in the spring, but something tells me it's not a tropical destination. I think perhaps I would need to visit in the late spring when the weather turns warm. And bring a scarf and gloves, just in case.
In case you were wondering, yes, I did mask the Eiffel Tower. It wasn't that difficult to cut the mask, and I like the look of that narrow white "shadow" that the mask creates. I was thinking about the moon when I stamped that ornate circle, but later when I looked at the image I thought of fireworks. You would need to add a couple more circles to get that effect, but I think it could work. Maybe Versamark…hmmm. I'll get back to you on that.

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist
NDSU Extension Service
Q: I have three goodland apple trees. They are an excellent apple for eating and cooking. However, this year the apples have a brown discoloration in the meat of the fruit. This discoloration looks like the apples have been cut and exposed to the air. What could cause this problem and how I can resolve it? (e-mail reference)
A: Those are channels left behind by apple maggots. Next year, spray the tree at blossom time with an insecticide called Sevin and spray again about 10 days later. You also can get control by purchasing wooden apples that are painted red and have a sticky substance on them. The sticky stuff traps the female when she lands to lay her eggs under the skin. You can purchase pheromone traps that hold the males and prevent them from fertilizing the female. Picking up all fallen apples also will help reduce the infestation.
Q: I browsed your column on cottonwood trees. The only question I found related to my problem was about mites that come from the lumpy growth on the stems right before some of the leaves. I thought they were seedling bulbs that were supposed to be there. This year, I actually inspected the bulbs. I found small insects inside the bulbs. Some would fly out as soon as I opened the bulbs. Can you identify this problem and let me know if there is a remedy? I can get you some pictures if you need them. (Columbia, S.C.)
A: No photos needed. I know exactly what you are referencing. Your problem is the poplar petiole gall aphid, which also is known as poplar leaf stem gall. It is similar to leaf petiole gall, except this problem is on the petiole near midleaf. As bad as they look, they are not lethal to the tree. Generally, a predatory insect population develops and eventually brings the petiole gall aphids under control. No sprays are needed or recommended. If the tree really appears to be going into decline, I would contact an International Society of Arboriculture certified arborist who is competent in plant diagnosis to inspect the tree to see if it needs rejuvenation pruning, root fertilization or injections of trace elements to perk it up.
Q: I've been reading about different trees on your Hortiscope Web page. I have found it helpful in choosing not to plant certain trees. We moved into a new home with a small tree identified as a "weed tree" by a local horticulturist. We are looking at purchasing and planting 10 to 15 trees, so we are wondering what you would recommend. We'd like trees that grow fast and are not extremely messy. However, a couple of flowering trees would be nice. So far, we are planning on two autumn blaze and two paper birch trees. (Alexandria, Minn.)
A: For low messiness, stay away from anything that produces fruit. The flowers are nice and last a week, but the falling fruit seems to last forever and attracts birds. Unless that one week of flowering is important to you, I would stay away from them. Lindens tend to be a little messy as well because of their falling bracts. If you know of a beekeeper who wants to place a hive under your linden, go for it. Linden flower honey is outstanding! A honey locust tree would get my vote. The leaves disperse nicely and the trees grow fast, provide dappled shade and have a nice, yellow fall color.
Q: I purchased 18 emerald green arborvitaes to plant in my backyard that faces a hill. The area gets plenty of sun during the summer. How much space do I need between the plants to create a good screen so I don't have to see the weeds on the hill? I live in Pittsburgh, so should I invest in burlap? Will I have to spray them before winter? (e-mail reference)
A: I would suggest spacing them about 3 to 4 feet apart to get a quick screen going, but it will take a few years. If you mean by "investing in burlap" that you should cover the plants this winter, the answer is no. There also is no need to spray them. Plant and water in well, then back off as the fall season wears on to allow the plants to harden off before going into a Pittsburgh winter.
Q: I have a willow tree that had three trunks. One fell over during hurricane Ike. Why does this tree wear out chainsaw blade so fast? I've cut oak for a whole weekend with no need to sharpen the chain. This tree is close to a creek. I believe the reason the tree fell is the soft ground around the creek. (e-mail reference)
A: My only guess would be that mineral matter might have imbedded itself into the wood when the river flooded in the past. Willow wood is not hard or tough to cut unless it becomes petrified. Trying to cut petrified wood will dull a chainsaw blade in a heartbeat. If you can get someone else to cut up the tree for you, do it! I've seen and heard too many horror stories about chain saw accidents. The horror stories come from people like you and me who thought they knew what they were doing. It takes just one slip and a finger or part of a leg can be cut off.
Q: I was able to take a few of my grandmother's iris plants along with me when I moved. I planted them in front of my house. I had many blooms in the spring, but nothing after that. I figured iris plants were just a spring-blooming perennial. Is that true or should they bloom all summer? Also, they are now "heaving" out of the ground, getting very thick, and I have Bermuda grass in the flowerbed that found its way there from the lawn. I got tips about the Bermuda grass and the heaving from other posts, but since it's warmer in Kansas than North Dakota, should I wait longer to divide and transplant the iris plants or should I do it now? September usually means 80-plus degrees for us. (Wichita, Kan.)
A: I would say go for it now. You want to have plenty of warm weather for the rhizomes to become established again. Iris plants flower once a growing season, so you are not missing anything. We have a publication that you can download that deals with iris plants. Go to http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/landscap/h113w.htm for more information.
Q: In the summer of 2005, my wife and I planted a row of Black Hills spruce and a row of American plum trees in our farmyard. The spruce trees are doing well. The plum trees did well until this year. I'm not sure what happened. They started losing leaves early in the growing season. I thought a late frost after the leaves were on was to blame. Some of the trees started to green up again from the base, but no upper leaves came back. Would you suggest I dig them out and start over or should I prune them down to the green area next spring? Is it possible the tops will green up again? (e-mail reference)
A: Did this take place with all of the plum trees or just a single tree? It is very unusual for the entire planting to respond this way. Other than some kind of weather fluke, I can't tell you what the problem is. It is unlikely that borers or root rot would have that uniform of an impact. It has to be something external, such as spray drift or herbicide migration, that would cause them all to die. The growth that you are seeing at the base is sucker growth coming from the roots below the graft union. This plant stock is different from the budwoods (scion) that produce the flowers and fruit we find desirable. Before replanting, I suggest finding someone locally who can tell you exactly why these trees suddenly died after getting off to a good start. It might be a good idea to get away from planting anything related to plums in the same area, but it depends on what you can find out.
Q: We love cottonwoods. Along a river that is close to us, we have hundreds of young trees that have grown from seeds. We would love to transplant some of these. How do you tell the difference between a male and female in young trees? Should we dig up 20 trees and wait? (e-mail reference)
A: I don't know how to tell a male cottonwood from a female until they flower. If in five to seven years you find that half of your plantings are female and you cannot stand the cotton, then cut those down and leave the rest.
Q: We have a roughly 50-year-old lilac tree that we love because it provides great privacy and looks beautiful. After we redid our house a few years ago (construction was not near the tree, although the soil in that area did get compacted), two of the tall branches have been ailing. The branches have sparse leaf growth, brownish curled leaves and no flowers. We had to trim quite a bit of the tree in the spring two years ago because a late snowfall broke off a bunch of the big branches. I always hope the ailing branches will get better, but they have stayed in this sad condition. What happened and what can I do? We also have a smaller lilac that has displayed similar behavior. I finally cut it off at the surface because it looked dead. All our other lilacs in the garden are fine, but I have noticed what looks like a fungus on some of them. (Switzerland)
A: Very likely, the soil compaction caused the decline in your lilacs. I would suggest getting a professional horticulturist to come in next spring to do some coring around the outer region of the roots and add some fertilizer. A plant this old can benefit from this kind of attention because the coring gets more air into the root area, which stimulates more root growth and nutrient uptake. While you are at it, get the soil tested to be sure the construction activity has not changed the pH or other nutrient factors in the root area. Fungal diseases can be controlled with the proper fungicide being applied in a timely manner. Again, that horticulturist should be able to identify the fungus and recommend a control.
Q: I have a honey crisp apple tree that is 5 to 6 years old. I have been of the opinion that apple trees produce apples every other year. This tree has produced an abundance of fruit every year. However, this year the fruit is about 50 percent of normal and not as sweet as usual. I am wondering if the lack of moisture this past spring was the cause. I have a probe for watering the roots of my trees and I certainly can do it in the spring if needed. My other problem is grubs. I had them a few years ago. A lot of damage occurred before I got busy with a chemical. I have spread new dirt and reseeded. Now I am wondering if I should spread chemical over the entire lawn every spring for the next three years. If so, when should I do it? Thank you for your expert help. (Fergus Falls, Minn.)
A: The honey crisp apple could be in a regrouping mode for now. See what next year brings. It is unusual for a tree so young to be such a prolific producer of fruit. Grub proofing is done in the spring. Grubs migrate to deeper depths as winter begins to approach. Sometime around Mother's Day weekend is a good time to get the chemical applied because it can be watered in by Mother Nature after the application. It also is the time grubs start actively feeding, which makes them vulnerable to the insecticide.
Q: We live in Alberta, Canada, but not near a city. I cannot find out why the woodpeckers have left many holes in our willow tree. Can you suggest what to do? I would hate to lose this tree. (e-mail reference)
A: In all probability, this is the male woodpecker of the species showing off. You can use scare balloons, Tanglefoot or aluminum pie plates hung from the branches where they are active, or wrap some aluminum foil around the parts of the trunk where they frequent.

As Chasidim around the world prepare to celebrate the Flagship Yom Tov in Chabad, Yud Tes Kislev, a brand new Farbrengen with the Rebbe was released by Jewish Educational Media (JEM).
Until the year 5748-1987, celebrating Yud Tes Kislev in Lubavitch meant primarily one thing – participating in the Rebbe's Farbrengen.
For those who merited to be there in person, and those who participated via hookup, or, later, satellite, the experience was other-worldly.
At the Farbrengen of 19 Kislev 5742, many fascinating Sichos, a Ma'amar, two Hadranim, Chalukas Hashas, and many niggunim including Pada B'sholom were several of the highlights.
Now, just in time for Yud Tes Kislev of 5777, that special experience will be available to all, as Jewish Educational Media releases a brand new DVD of the special Farbrengen.
In a strategic partnership between the Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim and JEM, the Farbrengen will be released to over 45 Yeshivos, and many Anash communities around the world.
The almost 5-hour DVD features subtitles in 7 languages, Hebrew, Yiddish, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian, and multiple playlists with special selections for for use by children, families and communities. A Farbrengen has never been more accessible and understandable to so many.
The Vaad has also prepared material to assist and guide the viewer, including a transcript in English, Yiddish and Hebrew, bullets for each sicha, a step-by-step guide for the two Hadranim in the farbrengen and questions to help focus even during a longer sicha.
"We are pleased that so many tens of thousands will be able to experience these timeless moments with the Rebbe one again" said Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin of JEM. "The dedicated staff of Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim is doing an incredible job to maximize engagement, excitement and participation in communities across the world. We look forward to bringing many more special events with the Rebbe to the world, and working with the Vaad to maximize the excitement and impact."
This project has been made possible by the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Cohen of Baltimore, MD.
Order the DVD by clicking here. Order now to receive in time for 19 Kislev. For all the material prepared by the Vaad Hatmimim click here. To add your community to the map of screenings, email email@example.com or fill out this form.

MANVEL — Ball High edged Manvel 47-38 and all but clinched the District 23-5A which will be the first-ever outright district championship for the Lady Tors in the history of the school.
A win over Fort Bend Marshall will give the Lady Tors (14-1) the title. Their last district title was a co-championship in 1984.
Manvel jumped out to a quick 6-1 lead, but the Lady Tors went on an 8-1 run to take a 9-7 lead in the first quarter.
The Lady Mavs tied the game at 9-9 when McKinzie Green hit a soft jumper, however, Ball High went on a 6-0 spurt making the score 15-9 at the end of the first period.
Once again, Manvel got hot on offense and opened the second quarter with an 8-0 run capped off by a 3-pointer by Green for a 17-16 lead.
But the Lady Tors closed out the quarter 8-0 giving them a 24-17 lead at intermission.
After Ball High built a 33-30 lead in the third quarter, the Lady Tors went on a 7-2 run for a 40-32 advantage entering the final frame.
Green once again got the Lady Mavs close with a steal and layup to cut the margin to 42-38, but that's as close as Ball High's defense would allow Manvel to get as the Lady Tors closed out the game with a 5-0 run for the 47-38 district win.
The Lady Tors out rebounded the Lady Mavs 34-24 was an important part of getting the win.
Green led the Lady Mavs with 15 points.
The Lady Mavs are a lock for the playoffs and stand 13-2 in district.
