Ramstad recommends an-
swering the following ques-
tions soon after a storm has
passed, and acting upon the
recommended treatment:
• Are limbs broken, cracked
or split? Prune back the limb
to where it meets a larger
branch, or in some cases back
to the tree’s trunk. If more
than 50 percent of your tree’s
large limbs are damaged, the
tree has less of a chance of
surviving. You may need to
consider removal.
• If a tree is leaning or up-
rooted, what size is it? If it is a
small, younger tree, you may
be able to right it and stake it.
Larger, older trees are more
difficult to save and may nev-
er regrow roots that would be
able to hold the tree in place.
• Are there large wounds
where branches have broken
or bark has been damaged?
The larger the wound, the
more vulnerable the tree is to
diseases and pests.
• Is the top of the main
trunk lost? On a smaller tree,
you may be able to train an
adjacent branch to become
the new leader. If it is a larger
tree, you may need to consid-
er removal. If the tree is not
in a location where its falling
would pose a risk to people or
property, consider leaving 20
or 30 feet of the trunk stand-
ing as a tree where wildlife can
perch or make nests.
• Is the trunk cracked or
split? Cracks are dangerous
and can be fatal to your tree,
to you and to nearby struc-
tures. Removal is probably the
only option.
• Is the tree worth saving?
Sometimes it may be best to
remove a badly damaged tree
and start over by planting a
new tree suited to the avail-
able space. Consider this op-
tion if the damaged tree:
— Is located where it does
not have enough room to
grow
— Has had its natural shape
ruined by improper pruning,
such as topping
— Is an invasive species,
such as English hawthorn or
the very brittle tree of heaven
If you have concerns about
your tree, consider hiring an

national Society of Arboricul-
ture (ISA). An ISA-certified
arborist can discuss options
with you and may be able to
save a lightly damaged tree
through good pruning tech-

Remedial pruning almost
always costs less than remov-
al.
Winter is also a good time
to plant bare-root deciduous
trees.
“If a bare-root tree is plant-
ed in spring, the roots won’t
have had time to anchor the
tree in the soil before the
leaves grow,“ said Ramstad. “A
leafed-out tree’s canopy can
catch the wind and act like a
sail. This increases the risk it
will fall over.
“Stakes are usually not
needed to keep a tree in place
unless it is in a windy area
or a location where it might
be damaged by people walk-
ing on the root zone,” added
Ramstad. “Natural movement
of the branches and trunk due
to wind actually helps the tree
grow stronger.”

The Planning Commission
meets at Dunes City Hall on
the fourth Thursday of the
month at 5 p.m. and in special
sessions as necessary.
Law enforcement agencies
throughout Oregon and the
rest of the United States will
be participating in this na-
tionwide effort to get impaired
drivers off the street.
High-visibility enforce-
ment, accomplished by in-
creasing the number of offi-
cers on the streets aggressively
seeking out impaired drivers,
is designed to deter people
from driving after they have
been drinking.

tact the Florence Police De-
partment at 541-997-3515.

Check trees soon after storms to see if removal is necessary
After a winter storm has
passed it’s important for prop-
erty owners to check if their
trees were damaged. Knowing
how badly wind, ice or snow
has injured a tree can indicate
what immediate or long-term
steps might be needed.
Removing trees that pose
an immediate risk to people
or property should be the first
order of business, according
to the Oregon Department of
Forestry’s Kristin Ramstad.
She is manager of ODF’s Ur-
ban and Community Forestry
Assistance Program.
“Large trees that have fallen
over and are blocking streets,
sidewalks or driveways after
a storm need attention right
away,” said Ramstad. “Equally
important is removing trees
whose roots are heaving out
of the ground. But be alert for
large hanging branches and
stay away from power lines
that may have come down
with a tree.”
Barring those extreme ex-
amples, Ramstad said trees
have an amazing ability to
recover from storm damage.
The Florence Police De-
partment will be participating
in extra DUII Enforcement
during the Christmas and
New Year’s Day holidays.
The department has re-
ceived grant funding for ad-
ditional DUII enforcement
over the Christmas and New
Year holiday period, which
began Dec. 13 and continues
through Jan. 2, 2019.
These funds are made avail-
able to the city from Oregon
Impact, who administers
DUII grant funding in Ore-
gon.
