at the bottom of this page David Morse has been helping his fellow neighbors in the Timber Pines 55+ Community clean up their yard debris offers to trim and bundle tree branches for free on Wednesdays All he asks is that the homeowners pay for the twine which costs roughly eight dollars per every hundred feet Morse has been able to bring his equipment to hundreds of homes and carry out these duties without a hitch Complications only recently arose when Republic Services began to take issue with his acts of charity the waste disposal company started refusing to pick up the collected foliage “just prior to Thanksgiving” and continued to do so for three weeks were as follows: Morse was a professional tree trimmer he is simply “a gentleman in his 80s who helps his neighbors,” Duguay said the rules state that 12 may be present except on the week following Thanksgiving Susan insists that this guideline was also adhered to Morse was “very meticulous” as Duguay provided photographic evidence of the bundles coming in comfortably under the 50-pound threshold as well as being within the four-foot length requirement “I just think it is horrible that they are taking advantage of good people who are kindhearted and just trying to help their neighbors especially their neighbors who are elderly and of meager means,” said Duguay Morse spent 21 years in Maine as a property owner of 100 acres of land He spent those years transforming the real estate into “a park for deer and turkey by limbing up” 50 acres of northern red oaks After enlisting a professional’s help to clear the “junk trees,” Morse put a conservation easement on the property and gave it away to the aforementioned logger the land could only be logged once trees reached a certain size and the acreage could not be parceled out Morse has a passion for trees which led him to start helping others in the community with their overgrown greenery I have trees as a little sticker on our car and on our golf cart.” The waste company relayed to Morse that it only has one truck per 200 households and that it is in a budget crunch Republic Services stated that his generous acts have begun to produce too much yard waste for their single vehicle They insisted that he cease and desist immediately from continuing his efforts This response from the magnanimous octogenarian pained Susan She bought a scale of her own to make sure that the bundles were not over the weight limit and contacted Hernando County Commissioner John Allocco regarding the ordeal Duguay felt that due to the commissioner’s help “he was the one that probably made sure our waste in November was picked up.” After this Duguay reports that she was on the receiving end of a rather impolite gesture from Republic drivers They proceeded to “flip us the bird,” said the Timber Pines resident A truck driver gave the same one-finger salute to Morse and his wife on a separate waste pickup as the company stopped picking up Morse’s yard waste mere days before Christmas The Sun reached out to Commissioner Allocco for comment on the matter Allocco stated that he would like to resolve the situation but there is not much he can do at the moment The commissioner is awaiting “something in writing” from Republic Services that states that it is the company’s policy he will attempt to follow up with the disposal company if they fail to pick up any of the debris Republic’s reluctance to recover the downed shrubbery is more problematic than delayed cleanup and vulgar hand gestures As Timber Pines is a community with a Homeowner Association (HOA) residents can be fined for debris of this sort With the disposal company presenting an uncooperative attitude it threatens to hurt the seniors in a variety of ways: making it harder for the most elderly to dispose of their branches and removing Morse’s opportunity to socialize while doing a good deed Susan’s house is flanked by a pair of elderly residents in their 90s – one a widow they would have a much more difficult time trimming and disposing of their branches HOA fees often start at 25 dollars and can increase to 50 or even 100 dollars if the fine is not paid or the resident continues to violate the rule If the clipped branches are unable to be picked up Timber Pines residents could be subject to these fines and many are living on rather humble means Morse is also extremely hard of hearing and will have to stop his branch-cutting in the next few months due to concerns about balance and age He uses his cleanup projects as a way to be sociable with others in his community and when he stops he will regrettably have fewer avenues for interacting with his neighbors Duguay noted the waste company’s drivers put out envelopes looking for Christmas tips Contact us: [email protected]

If you're looking to find some of these trees in order to knock them down, your best bet is to head over to Logjam Lumberyard, as hence the name, this is the best place to find them, You'll notice these trees right away, as they have a different tint and tone to them as other trees in Fortnite! Giveaways, gaming gear, our discord channel and more: Conservation organization Huron Pines has completed the fourth in a series of road/stream crossing restoration projects reconnecting vital coldwater habitat on two tributaries of the Thunder Bay River A new timber bridge now stands where Schmallers Road crosses Hunt Creek southwest of Atlanta It replaces a set of three undersized steel pipe culverts that had been causing Hunt Creek to flow too fast through the crossing contributing to erosion and creating a barrier for fish The completed project comes on the heels of three other road/stream crossing restorations Huron Pines implemented on nearby Gilchrist Creek: A timber bridge was installed at Harwood Road in August 2020 followed by an aluminum arch culvert at Greasy Creek Road and a timber bridge at Carter Road this summer These four projects restored the natural flow of Gilchrist Creek and Hunt Creek both of which connect to the Thunder Bay River “Hunt Creek is a designated trout stream and supports healthy populations of brook and brown trout,” said Josh Leisen “Most of Hunt Creek flows through a well-forested landscape and is one of the highest quality streams in the Thunder Bay River Watershed.” Leisen said the former crossing at Schmallers Road was narrow and that fast currents caused road material to wash into Hunt Creek This input of sediment into the stream buries natural gravel beds which are essential spawning habitat for trout and refuge for macroinvertebrates like mayfly and caddisfly larvae on which trout feed water rushing through the culvert kept fish from accessing headwaters upstream of the crossing The former crossing of Hunt Creek at Schmallers Road consisted of three undersized culverts which constricted river flows contributed to erosion of road material and prevented fish from accessing upstream habitat we reconnected more than 10 miles of stream and eliminated that fish barrier,” he said “The bridge deck will be paved and that will eliminate the sediment input and road maintenance issues there.” Hunt Creek holds unique significance in Michigan’s fishing history as the home of Hunt Creek Fisheries Research Station Established on the banks of the creek in the 1930s the facility was a place for researchers to experiment with fishing regulations habitat improvement methods and fish stocking efforts With several lakes and a stretch of Hunt Creek on site all surrounded by an expanse of state-owned land researchers could conduct controlled experiments in one giant outdoor laboratory “Much of the fundamental technology we use today were practiced early on at Hunt Creek,” said Todd Wills a researcher with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Fisheries Division Later research at the facility looked at the effects of fishing regulations and sediment input on trout populations as well as the compatibility of trout species and the viability of different trout strains for stocking efforts The DNR closed the facility around 2011 and now leases it to Lake Superior State University “Hunt Creek has a really neat history of work that has not only steered the management of coldwater trout in Michigan but across the United States,” Wills said The Schmallers Road timber bridge project cost approximately $350,000 Funding comes from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative through the

extreme foul weather has many residents of Leon County concerned about the safety of the trees near their homes While it is almost inconceivable to imagine the area without these important plants While any debilitated or unhealthy tree has a high risk factor many native shallow rooted species are on the list of what inevitably falls during storm events Laurel and water oaks are notorious for being on the top of the problematic list.  deep rooted native genus that is usually one of the last standing after stormy weather is the pine Its sturdy structure is one of its many useful features Pines offered a variety of potential enterprises for industrious settlers and those who followed These common trees are rarely appreciated and often overlooked today for their true resource status It is capable of reaching 80 to 125 feet in height with a 30- to 40-foot-branch spread.  A distinctive characteristic of this beautiful tree is the new growth clusters at its branch, end which is silvery white during the winter and it requires little imagination from the viewer to see the similarity grass-like stage for five to seven years after germinating They grow slowly in this phase while developing a root system Once the root system is firmly established The bright evergreen needles may extend up to 14 inches and are very flexible giving a weeping effect to the tree.  Flowers are inconspicuous and occur in spring lawn furniture and about everything else outside spiny cones follow and may remain on the tree for several years Birds and animals use the seed within the fallen cones as a food source The timber from longleaf pines has a reputation for strength and excellent grain quality The resinous heartwood is especially durable and is found as flooring in many older homes.  the sap has historically been a valuable commodity Its many applications included being a component for waterproofing wooden ships and as the base product for turpentine The longleaf was sometime called the turpentine pine long-needled conifer native to Panhandle Florida  It is capable of rapid growth and has the potential of reaching 100 feet in height with a three- to four-foot-diameter trunk.  The six-inch-long cones appear among the dark green Squirrels are particularly fond of the seeds Slash pines self-prune their lower branches The gray-brown bark is deeply furrowed and scaly.  The filtered light allows just enough sun to reach understory plants that grow beneath this tall shifting shade provides an opportunity for wildlife habitat in the undergrowth Healthy pines typically have deep roots except in poorly-drained soil slash pines are more tolerant of wet sites than most other pines and are moderately salt-tolerant.  Pines grow well on a variety of acidic soils in full sun or partial shade The tap root is prominent in well-drained soils and can make young trees difficult to transplant from the wild.  they are still an integral part of modern life pulp for paper and many other products for commercial uses They also are excellent for home landscapes Many residents of the Tallahassee area should consider them when selecting a tree for their

Al Hoelzer, 71, slaps on a white ball cap. George Nott, 72, raises his black and white golf umbrella. And Wally Warren, older than all at 88, secures his tan pith helmet. Not to avoid the beating sun or pelting rain or unforeseen dangers of an African safari. The neighbors first felt talons scrape their scalps in the spring of 2015. Red-shouldered hawks had been building their home — an expanding mass of twigs and brambles — for weeks in the full Southern live oak that towers over Hoelzer's front yard. He and his wife thought little of it. Hernando County is known for its thriving ecosystem, a web of waterways brimming with wildlife and forests filled with game. Birds — robins, wrens, red-headed woodpeckers — sing the area's soundtrack. It's the main draw for Hoelzer's neighbors, seniors in New Balance tennis shoes who chose to live out their golden years in Timber Pines, a large gated retirement community for "active adults." It's neighborly and peaceful, packed with country club and golf courses and golf carts to get to both. Residents must get permission to chop down a tree. For years, the birds and the seniors lived in harmony on Renown Way. Then the hawks started dive-bombing. They attacked a frail 90-year-old with peach fuzz for hair, a point of pride after beating cancer and completing chemotherapy. The talons took a chunk of her scalp. For Warren, a 30-year resident of the neighborhood, the first hit felt like he'd stepped in the path of a falling sack of sugar. He was just trying to retrieve the mail. Warren ended the day at the Hernando County Health Department, enduring the pinch of a tetanus shot. At least it was free. Hoelzer was unloading the groceries when he suddenly felt a sharp thud. He thought the trunk door had bitten him. Then he felt the seeping blood. In total, the hawks — one male, one female — struck about a dozen times in 2015. With a wingspan of nearly 4 feet, red-shouldered hawks are most aggressive during nesting season, warning potential predators with quick talon strikes. Ordinarily, they aren't hostile toward humans, wildlife officials say. But during nesting season, people look like predators.

Hoelzer sought help from neighbor George Nott to remove the nest. They called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and their senator, Wilton Simpson. But because the birds already had laid their eggs, wildlife officials told the men nothing could be done. So they endured six more weeks of fear-filled gardening and driveway chats before the babies matured. Yes, begrudgingly, they were cute. But not that cute. The neighbors secured a permit from the wildlife commission and paid a tree service $200 to topple the nest. When the hawks returned to Hoelzer's tree last month for a second year of nesting, he was ready. He'd looped a long green rope up over the branch that held the old nest, creating an elaborate pulley system to jostle loose the nesting material. Eventually the hawks gave up — and moved to a tree one lot over. So far, the hawks have hit Warren three times this year. Hence the helmet. Nott has, somehow, avoided the talons. He's convinced it's because he has more hair on his head. His neighbors aren't so sure. An electrician took a talon last week. So did Warren's wife. One neighbor, a hunched man in his 90s, is trying to rehab a bum hip with regular walks. Not even he can catch a break from the hawks. The once alluring quiet of the neighborhood now feels eerie, like being alone in an empty old house. Each rustling leaf or cawing echo could mean the end has come. "Somebody is going to get hit and die," he says. "I don't want to go to a funeral because of a bird." In a letter to Gov. Rick Scott, Nott wrote: "The 'bird' is a protected species whereas the 'senior citizen' has no recourse (nor protective status apparently) against the attacking hawk. There seems to be a problem with this situation where an animal takes precedence over a human!" The Migratory Bird Treaty Act looks out for the red-shouldered hawk, making it illegal to move the birds or their nest without proper permits. But there is one option U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Tom MacKenzie said his office, which oversees the southeast region of the U.S., has offered to Florida wildlife officials: The adult hawks could be trapped and relocated, and their eggs (or babies) could be transported to a rehabilitation facility. In the meantime, MacKenzie said officials can only recommend that residents be vigilant, and use proper armor. "Be aware," he said. "Umbrellas aren't a bad idea." Standing below the nest, umbrella expanded, Nott and the other old men search for the female hawk. If she already had laid her eggs, she'd be up there, standing guard. Then a screech, like that eagle that sounds before The Colbert Report. The old men grumbled about one suggestion they'd heard, that perhaps they could just go buy hard hats. "Can you imagine us being a hard hat community?" Nott said. And the suggestion they just need to deal with it? "No, we don't," Nott said. "We're retired!"

Timber Pines is the name of the neighborhood where red-shouldered hawks attacked senior citizens. The neighborhood has one country club. An earlier version of this story stated a different neighborhood name and number of country clubs. Here's where players will be able to find them within Fortnite. Instead, the core of the tree itself falls off and can be used to run into players and really turn the tables of a fight if you knock one down correctly. The part you're going to want to concern yourself with is the bottom of the Pine tree itself that doesn't fall off, as this is the stump. Once the stump is presented to you, destroy it and once you do this three times you have the challenge complete. If you're looking for a place to view where to find all these trees, look no further than down below. The latest type of tree to be added to Fortnite is the Timber Pine They are currently the tallest in-game and can be harvested for wood What makes them special is that unlike other trees that disintegrate upon being harvested To test out how fast a Timber Pine falls, Epic Games' is tasking Flipsiders with knocking down a few in-game.

It is easiest to do this with a lightsaber Get close to the tree and swing a few times That should deal enough damage to break the top part from the bottom The tree will then fall to the ground and look like the picture above Be sure to avoid the falling tree because you can take damage from them If you want to use the Force make sure you aim directly at the tree while holding your lightsaber The Force Push ability is the easiest one to use for this challenge The challenge only requires you to knock down one tree and will be completed once you've knocked it down One of the new Fortnite Star Wars Find The Force Quests tasks players with knocking down a Timber Pine tree with a Force ability or Lightsaber Here is where you can find Timber Pines in Fortnite and we’ll go over how you can get this done Timber Pines are trees that are much taller than the others on Fortnite’s map They’re easily recognizable by their thick trunks and the downward slope of their branches which are covered in leaves These trees can be knocked down with a Harvesting Tool they turn into a large log that the player is able to roll around the map We recommend heading east of Frenzy Fields or north of Kenjutsu Crossing in order to complete this Quest While Timber Pines are located at different locations across the map these two spots have a large collection of them To make things a bit easier, you can look at the locations of Timber Pines across the map marked below, courtesy of Fortnite.GG You can knock down Timber Pines after collecting a Lightsaber or Force Ability from a Rift Gate Simply use one of the two to attack the Timber Pine and the quest will be marked as complete after the tree goes down You only need to knock down one Timber Pine in order to complete this Find The Force Quest in Fortnite Chapter 4 Doing so will bring you one step closer to unlocking Darth Maul in Fortnite How to hire NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Here’s where you can find and knock down TImber Pines in Fortnite chapter 3 season 1. Another week in Fortnite, a new set of challenges. We’re onto week five of chapter 3 season 1. So far, most of the challenges that have been released and straightforward and easy to complete. Epic Games are catering to new players or those that don’t want to go out of their way to complete the challenges. Not only that, but the in-game map helps players complete challenges with ease. That makes sites like Fortnite Insider less useful, which is why we decided to over other games in addition to our usual Fortnite content. Anyway, one of the week five challenges requires players to knock down Timber Pines. Here’s where you can find and knock down Timber Pines in Fortnite chapter 3. Timber Pines is a tree with a light brown trunk. The normal trees have a darker trunk than the pines. When you knock one down, you’ll see them actually fall down unlike the standard trees. This is a feature that was added with the launch of chapter 3 now that the game runs on Unreal Engine 5. One of the best locations to find the locations of Timber Pines in Fortnite chapter 3 in order to knock them down is on the west side of Shifty Shifts near the bridge that’s south of the location. Here’s the exact map location of the best place to drop to complete this challenge: To knock them down, simply swing your pickaxe at them until they drop. You’ll need to knock down a total of five in order to complete this challenge which shouldn’t take long at the above location. Sometimes, you might knock down one tree which will then fall onto the closest Timber Pine which will then knock that one down. This should count towards your challenge.

Flipsiders willing and able to destroy three Timber Pine Stumps will be rewarded with 25,000 experience points Destroying Timber Pine stumps is an easy task and should be a breeze to complete Timber Pines is a unique tree in-game. Unlike others that merely disintegrate when harvested, these giants tend to keel over and fall While that's not an issue for players cutting down trees it does become a problem for opponents nearby they tend to fall in the direction of the closest enemy players can use these giant trees to destroy an opponent's build and crush them easily An easy way to use them is to shoot the tree nearest to the enemy A few well-placed bullets should be enough to destroy it and cause it to fall on the enemy keep in mind that opponents can employ the same tactic If players aren't careful and don't pay attention to the treeline the last thing they'll be seeing is a giant falling tree this can be prevented by placing armored walls to absorb the damage The Ripsaw Launcher is a new weapon in Fortnite Chapter 3 and we’ll go over its location on the map and how to knock down Timber Pines with the Ripsaw Launcher The Ripsaw Launcher is another weapon that you can get your hands on in Fortnite Chapter 3 and we’ll go over everything that you need to know about it The Ripsaw Launcher can be found hanging on a wall in Choppin’ Chateau, which is northeast of Logjam Lotus on the north end of the Fortnite map You can also collect it from chests and as floor loot until Ripsaw Launcher Week comes to an end on July 5 The Ripsaw Launcher shoots a blade that’s capable of destroying builds and it can dish out 25 damage to buildings It can hold up to 10 blades and continues to deal damage for a total of 10 seconds when fully charged One of the Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 3 Weekly Quests requires you to knock down Timber Pines with a Ripsaw Launcher Timber Pines are large redwood trees that can mainly be found in snow-covered areas on the Fortnite map Since you’re supposed to knock down 5 Timber Pines for this challenge we recommend aiming your Ripsaw Launcher at a tree and fully charging it up before letting go This will cause the Timber Pine to knock down multiple trees Best Assault Rifles in Black Ops 6 – Meta AR loadouts players need to get their hands on a Ripsaw Launcher which was added as part of the June 28 hotfix for Ripsaw Launcher Week Players will then need to take a Ripsaw Launcher and use it to knock down some Timber Pines Rip through clutter with new Ripsaw tech and make a scene with the dazzling Firework Flare Gun and new Ripsaw Launcher!Show us your best Ripsaw clips or Firework displays with #SawItInFortnite and we'll RT our favorites! pic.twitter.com/DfXJOHy9T7 While this challenge sounds pretty simple on paper knowing where to go to find Timber Pines can be a little trickier than expected we've put together the details so you'll know exactly where to head in your next match Timber Pines can be found in the north-west portion of the map / Image courtesy of Fortnite.ggThere's one main area where players should focus their attention when it comes to finding Timber Pines you'll find an abundance of Timber Pines These particular trees stand out from your average foliage due to their sheer size Timber Pines can be identified by their huge trunk and impressive height as long as you find yourself in the snowy regions of the map You'll need to have a Ripsaw Launcher on hand in order to complete this challenge which you can find scattered around the map head on over to your TImber Pine of choice Players can also knock down a Timber Pine with their Harvesting Tool or any other weapon though a Ripsaw Launcher is the weapon of choice for this particular challenge © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER.
