Title: Termites found in dying/dead plants
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Recently I have noticed that when investigating native plants that have passed on, such as my deceased Erythrina herbacea, often times I find termites in the remaining central stem. It has been extremely dry here in Austin over the last 18 months. Is it possible my watered plants make an appealing snack for termites during hard times? Any suggestions on keeping termites away from my roots?
First of all, Erythrina herbacea (coralbean) usually dies to the ground in Austin in the winter and regrows with great vigor from the roots in the spring. In fact, I checked my plant yesterday and found new growth beginning around the old dead stems. The termites you found in the stem of your plant were no doubt feeding on the dead material (the cellulose, to be specific) that they found there. This is what termites normally feed on—dead plant material. Here is a little more information about termites:
There are three types of termites that occur in Texas: desert termites, drywood termites and the ones that, most likely, are the ones you found in your plant—subterranean termites. Additionally, there are two types of subterranean termites—native subterranean termites and Formosan subterranean termites. The latter have been reported in Travis County and are considered to be more aggressive and destructive than the native species. The normal food for termites is dead and dying wood and in nature this is beneficial in that it keeps fallen trees and other woody wastes from accumulating; however, when the termites find their way into human structures they become an expensive pest. I was surprised, however, to find that although generally all termites feed on dead cellulose, the subterranean ones have been known to feed on the dead heartwood of living trees and the Formosan subterranean termites have been known to feed on more than 47 living plant species including Morella cerifera (wax myrtle) and Prunus caroliniana (Carolina laurelcherry). Desert termites also feed on living plant material, but they feed on primarily grasses of rangelands and eat surface material rather than tunnel into wood. It is doubtful that your infestation was desert termites. I spoke with Elizabeth "Wizzie" Brown (512-854-9600), the Entomology Extension Program Specialist for the Austin area at the Travis County Texas AgriLife Extension office to find out how common it is for termites to feed on living plant material rather than the cellulose of dead material. She said that she had seen whole trees hollowed by Formosan termites in Louisiana, but she was not aware of them attacking living plants in the Austin area. I would guess that it is the dead cellulose material that even the Formosan termites (if those are the ones in your plants) are after rather than living plant tissue and I suspect that you have little to worry about with termites eating the roots of your plants.
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension offers information about different termite control methods in Commonly Asked Question About Termite Control. You can also read information about termite infestations and various treatment methods from Termites 101.org (sponsored by Orkin). These instructions are focused on controlling termites in human structures. Again, I asked Wizzie Brown about treatments for termites on plants and she said that she didn't know of any specific treatment since this has not been a serious problem. Even for the desert termites that do cause problems for ranchers, there are no pesticides labeled specifically for controlling them.
I don't want to be an alarmist, but there is a good chance that these same termites that you found in your coralbean could also have infested your house. It might be a good idea to have it checked by a professional pest control company.

Peninsula hires police chief
Peninsula Village could have a permanent, full-time police chief by Jan. 1 — more than three years after Village Council fired the last full-time chief.
Council, at the Nov. 12 meeting, approved Village Mayor Doug Mayer's recommendation of Medina County resident Jeffrey Myers for the post.
Myers was vetted by a committee of Mayer and Council representatives.
Myers must complete physical and psychological testing and give notice to his current employer, a Cleveland school system. Upon successful completion of testing, Myers could begin working part-time, he said.
Council agreed to a settlement of more than $120,000 with former Police Chief Kevin James McCue in September 2011, but legal documents ending the two-year legal fracas were not signed until early this year, according to Mayer. Council approved a new rate of pay for the position in February and began its search for a new police chief. Sgt. Daniel Renz has been acting chief since McCue's departure.
Myers said he retired with full service from a Medina police agency in 2006. He joined the Craig Beach Police Department as a lieutenant in 2007 and retired as chief of police in 2010, he said. Craig Beach is in Mahoning County.
Also at the meeting, two Peninsula residents appeared before Council to complain about police services.
Mandy Cassidy, of Akron-Peninsula Road, alleged she was assaulted in her driveway in August. Cassidy said her neighbor called 9-1-1 and police were dispatched to her house. Cassidy said she was able to escape her attacker and lock herself inside her home. She said police waited until her son arrived home from school and then sent him inside the house to look for her. Cassidy said her son found her lying injured on the bathroom floor nearly an hour after the emergency call was made. She said she was upset the police did not enter the house to search for her themselves and that they sent her son into the house when they did not know what the situation was inside.
Cassidy said that after being released from the hospital, she tried to give Renz a list of people she suspected could be her assailant, only to be told he would not waste resources checking out the list. Cassidy also alleged the police did not collect evidence of the assault from her yard and a police officer wrote inadequate reports.
Bonnie Sulzer, of Main Street, said she called police when she and her husband heard gunshots at 2 a.m. Sept. 19. Sulzer said police never came to her home to take a report, but only drove by. She said when she asked why police only drove by, she was told she should have reported the bonfire she saw at the same time she heard shots.
In other business, Council:
• noted the village received nearly $12,000 from the sale of two obsolete trucks on gov deals.com;
• noted longtime village employee Barb Morehouse will retire. Morehouse has been assistant to the village clerk of courts;
• authorized the lease of two police cruisers at a cost not to exceed $25,000 each; and
• had second reading of amendments to the village zoning ordinance regulating fences. The amendments would limit fence height to 4 feet in the front of properties in the R-1 and R-2 (Residential) districts and add a clause regarding allowable fencing materials. A public hearing on the amendments will take place Dec. 10 at 6:45 p.m. in the Council meeting room.
Council's next meeting is set for Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. on the second floor of Village Hall, at the corner of state Route 303 and Akron-Peninsula Road.

Sha-Boom Bang! Phoenix Soul Party @ Zia Record Exchange
John Dixon is an absolute guru of vintage and obscure vinyl, a wizened historian of Arizona music, and one helluva esteemed disc jockey. The 60-something record hound, who goes by DJ Johnny D. when he's spinning, boasts a meticulously compiled and catalogued platter collection (which numbers into the tens of thousands) that fills two buildings. It is the stuff of local lore, and Dixon has influenced more than a few notable Valley DJs (including the likes of Z-Trip, Smite, and Djentrification) and his weekly radio show, Mostly Vinyl with Johnny D., is always a fascinating trip into music history, typically filled with R&B, funk, and blues rarities. Such is the case for the new Sha-Boom Bang! compilation, produced by Dixon and featuring vintage gems and jams from a slew of long-forgotten Arizona doo-wop, soul, and R&B bands, including Chuck Womack and the Sweet Souls, The Four Dimensions, Little Worley and the Drops, and Butch McGhee. Dixon will spin songs from the disc along with Smite on Saturday, May 31, at Zia Record Exchange, 1850 West Camelback Road, during an all-vinyl DJ session featuring 45s. The needle drops at 6 p.m. Admission is free.

She's Got the Mercedes Bends
More leg room than a Ford Focus.
Courtesy of U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Did you get a load of immigrant compartments outfitted inside a Santa Ana man's black Mercedes-Benz? The ones a stuck man and unconscious woman had to be pulled out of?
Robert J. Lopez has the scoop in the Los Angeles Times.
The unidentified driver, who is a U.S. citizen, was arrested on smuggling charges, and his Mexican immigrant passengers are now material witnesses against him.
He tried to drive from Mexico into the U.S. Saturday via the Otay-Mesa Port of Entry east of San Diego, where detector dogs alerted Homeland Security officers to the areas on either side of the car between the front wheels and doors.

Hidden inside the compartments were an unconscious 26-year-old woman, who was revived and treated for a four-inch burn on her leg, and a sweaty 39-year-old man, who had to be helped out of the fetal position and back onto his feet.
Mercedes' motto is "the best or nothing." The driver and his secret riders definintely got the latter.

Our home was completed in March 2008-brand new, interior decorated, with all the amenities. The home has air conditioning throughout. The house is equipped with cable tv, telephone and WIFI/Internet. In addition, our home has a 500 gallon back up water tank, in case the water in the community goes out(which happens periodically).The house also has a UV FILTERED water system THROUGHOUT the house-all water is safe to drink.
Hermosa Palms is a very safe, gate-guarded, beautiful community. Our home has one of the best locations in the neighborhood. It is located behind the beachfront pool/ocean, with only one house between. It is close to the pool. The surf is great year round and not crowded. Enjoy taking a stroll down the exotic black sand beach filled with interesting seashells. Hermosa Beach is known for its turtle nesting. Sometimes you can participate in releasing the newly hatched turtles to the sea. The beachfront pool is resort style-without the crowds. You will frequently see the beautiful scarlet macaws fly over and stop in the treetops above the pool.
Playa Hermosa and the surrounding towns have plenty to do. Crocodile tours, horseback riding, canopy tours, rainforests, mangrove monkey tours, shopping, etc. Playa Hermosa has some great little restaurants with fresh fish, sushi, delicious smoothies, and much more..
Come enjoy paradise!
Keywords: House
We are an adventurous family from Surfside, California.
The Owner purchased this house in 2008
We lived in Costa Rica for 6 months to learn Spanish and give our kids a cultural experience outside of the United States. We have traveled immensely throughout Costa Rica and other countries and realized the best place is Hermosa Palms!
We love the community feel of Hermosa Palms, everyone who owns and rents here are wonderful people. Surfing is epic most of the year(according to my extreme surfer husband and 3 boys). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet, too.
Our vacation to Costa Rica could not have been more perfect. The house was great, the beach was great, the wildlife was amazing and the surf was fantastic. Kristin was so helpful with her insight, and recommendations on things to see and do. You helped to make our vacation so amazing, and we made unforgettable memories! Pura Vida!
I rented this house as a single lady and invited girlfriends to come down for various length stays. We all just loved this house ... found it to be clean and looked better than the pictures. Exceeded our expectations. I find it important on vacations to have high quality beds and every bed was very comfortable. Lots of all the kitchen items that one would need to make any meal. Great internet too. Ingrid is the property manager and any time that I would call or email, she was back to me immediately ... never had major issues ... minor stuff like needing a new battery and such. Felt right at home and hated to leave. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the wonderful stay.
We loved this house. It is nicer than the photos, and the location is perfect. The house is comfortably furnished and clean as can be. The beach is so close and has got to be the prettiest in the area. It was so nice to be able to sit under the palm trees and watch the surfers. Everyone we met was extremely helpful and anxious for us to have a good visit to Costa Rica. I would go back in a minute.
I cannot say enough positive remarks about this particular rental. I have stayed at various VRBO homes, at many different locations in Costa Rica and this is #1! The home & certainly the owners who operate it have created an absolutely spectacular vacation experience. The interior is immaculate, tastefully decorated, & the layout/design lends itself to privacy, superior comfort, and free-flowing relaxed living. Owners Kristy & Todd are extremely pleasant professional, very accomodating and FUN! They answered every question I had about their home, the surrounding area, & gave helpful suggestions about CR in general. The nightly rate is as affordable as they come- a true value. The venue is gorgeous, the pool ideal, the surf out front epic! Please book Kristy & Todd's wonderful rental property on your calendar pronto! You will be ecstatic that you did. The highest rating possible!
We had the best time in Todd and Kristy's home this past week - more than we could have even imagined. I'm not even sure where to begin. First of all, the location is a tropical paradise, filled with beautiful birds and wildlife. The home itself is right next to a huge pool, which sits right on the beach. Every day we spent time at the pool, took long walks on the beach, and met some very nice people. The Costa Rica natives (affectionately called "Ticos") are very friendly - many of them speak English and they all made us feel welcome, as well as pointing us in the direction of many awesome restaurants and local sights and tourist spots. We felt VERY safe the entire trip - the home is located in a guarded and gated community, which is constantly patrolled. At no point did we ever feel vulnerable or unsafe, and this is from people who know almost no Spanish and had never been to Costa Rica (or Central America) at all! Besides the beautiful home and community, there are dozens upon dozens of amazing activities located within a very short driving distance - our personal highlight was meeting Rafa, the "father of the monkeys," who took us on a 2 hour river cruise on his boat and introduced us to a giant pack of white-headed capuchin monkeys! We also zip-lined, hiked, and ate some amazing food.
It is worth noting that the house has a very efficient air conditioning system that will keep you cool and relaxed. The kitchen is fully equipped, there is a TV and DVD player, and a beautiful huge master bedroom which leads to a 3-story terrace which offers amazing views of Playa Hermosa. The staff of the community, lead by a very nice man named Marco, were more than helpful.
Needless to say, we are already planning our trip back to the Rich Coast for next year. We met some other families who were staying at hotels - if only they knew about the chance to stay at an actual home like we did. I cannot exaggerate how much of a recommendation I give to Todd and Kristy's home - if you are thinking of exploring Costa Rica for the first or even 51st time, you owe it to yourself to stay at a home like this.
Pura Vida!
We had a wonderful time in Kristy's home. The location was perfect! Marco the property manager was helpful setting up excursions and giving us information. The "House Book" with favorite restaurants, tours etc. was extremely helpful. The pool was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better location. My family is already planning our next trip to Costa Rica!! Thank you Kristy for a great first experience.

Mycket bra värde för pengarna! Ligger mycket bra vid havet och nära restauranger och barer. Det som drar ner betyget är att det var otroligt lyhört. Annars bra pool- även om den kanske var ngt gammal och i renoveringsbehov.

Nice jacuzzi with good jets.Posted Apr 21, 2016
There was construction going on one day, but I'm sure that doesn't happen very often. The ladies in the room next door woke up at 5 am and were making lots of noise. The manager and his staff were very helpful and accomodating. Close to the best part of PB. I would stay there again.

Great place. Really near everything worth being near to, yet not really because it's tucked away comfortably in its little corner. Staff are typical as good hostels get - helpful and friendly if required. They act more like fellow tenants of the hostel who just happened to work there, which really adds to the homeliness of the place. Will definitely come back again!

Friendly staff and good location. Cleanliness was good. But their facilities of in common area looks better than into the room. Also, some rooms faced to pub side was quite loud at night, i had a room changed when I raise this issue. In general, good place to stay if you want to have a private room in a heat location.

David Beckham puts his muscles to good use as he holds gargantuan Stanley Cup aloft at LA Kings celebration party
He's an enthusiastic supporter of all teams in his adopted home city, and lifted a trophy this year with his own soccer side, LA Galaxy.
But the MLS silverware is delicate compared to the prestigious Stanley Cup, which has recently become the property of ace ice hockey team, the LA Kings.
David, 37 , has been cheering them on from rink side seats and today he got to join in the celebrations at the Ritz-Carlton in Los Angeles.
Super fan! David Beckham holds the Stanley Cup aloft during a team championship party at the LA LIVE Ritz-Carlton
The English sporting legend even got the chance to hold that gargantuan trophy aloft at the championship party.
The famously well defined sportsman had no difficulty holding the impressive quarry above his head though his biceps were hidden under a well tailored suit.
And the look on Beckham's face proves he knows what it means to be fan, despite all his own success.
Proud moment: Victoria was so excited for David that she tweeted this picture
Loving every minute: David still gets giddy about sport, despite all his success
The father-of-four was tickled pink by the honour, and his wife Victoria was so excited for him that she tweeted a picture of the big moment.
David and his three boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz were present to watch the LA Kings take on the New Jersey Devils.
The boys were seen hollering and cheering as the teams battled one another on the ice to take home the Stanley Cup.
Father-of-four: David took his sons to see the LA Kings take on the New Jersey Devils at the Los Angeles Staples Center
The doting father-of-four carried his youngest son Cruz for most of the match probably to help the seven-year-old get a better view of the match.
David was seen putting a loving arm around Romeo, 10, as they got lost in the intense game which saw the Kings defeat the Devils 6-1.
His sons were pictured eating ice cream and joking around with their 37-year-old father as they sat in their rink side seats.
The baby of the boys: The 37-year-old was pictured carrying his youngest son Cruz during the match
Sharing secrets: Cruz was seen whispering his David's ear at one point during the game
Doting father: David placed his loving arm around Romeo's neck
Dressed down, Beckham showed off his impressive inked sleeve in a dark grey T-shirt which he teamed with a pair of black slim fit jeans.
Romeo and Cruz showed their support for the LA Kings and donned the team's uniform.
Whereas 13-year-old Brooklyn sported a grey hoodie which had rainbow coloured stripes.
Time well spent: The boys looked to be in good spirits as they enjoyed their rink side seats
Having a blast: Romeo ate some ice cream as Brooklyn observed the match in which the LA Kings won 6-1
Boys will be boys: Beckham and his sons appeared to get lost in the game at one point
Beckham wasn't the only celebrity who spent some time with his boys, Maria Shriver also enjoyed some bonding time with her sons Patrick and Christopher to watch the LA Kings ice hockey game.
The trio looked excited as they made their way into the arena to cheer on their team.
While Patrick dressed casually and Christopher wore a T-shirt nodding to the occasion, Maria used the opportunity to show off her incredible style.
A family affair: Maria Shriver went with sons Patrick (L) and Christopher to watch the LA Kings ice hockey game
Stylish star: The ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger looked lovely in a white top and skinny jeans
The 56-year-old ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger sported a white crocheted off the shoulder top along with skinny jeans and black sandals.
Patrick took to Twitter to say it was his mother's first ever game and tweeted: 'Taking my mom @mariashriver to her first kings hockey game. Huge game tonight. #GKG'
No doubt the trio were delighted when the Kings beat the New Jersey Devils to take home the coveted Stanley Cup for the first time.
Patrick happily posted on his Twitter page: 'Guess I'm good luck... Congrats LA Kings!!'
And Maria posted a photo of herself and her boys posing as they got ready for the game to begin, later stating that she was 'lucky to have been there'.
Sports fans: Zac Efron (L) and Matthew Perry were both spotted arriving at the Staples Center
Happy to be there: Colin Hanks (L) gave a wave upon arrival while Cindy Crawford's husband Randy Gerber rocked up with son Presley
A host of other celebrities were out in force to cheer on the LA Kings this evening.
Zac Efron, Matthew Perry and Colin Hanks all turned up to show their support.
Zac reportedly recently split from girlfriend Lily Collins, with a source telling Us Weekly: 'It was just a casual thing and it fizzled.'
Family fun: Ice Cube arrived with his brood for the exciting ice hockey game
Dressed for the occasion: James Gandolfini's family sported replicas of the LA Kings uniforms
Girl power: Taylor Stevens (L) and Ellen Page were both spotted arriving at the Los Angeles event
Meanwhile other celebrity guests made the evening something of a family affair.
Ice Cube and James Gandolfini's broods both rocked up sporting replicas of the LA Kings uniforms.
And Cindy Crawford's husband Randy Gerber and his son Presley were also in attendance and eagerly made their way inside the arena.
Meanwhile Taylor Stevens and Ellen Page also were on hand at the event.
Victorious: The LA Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 and went home with the massive Stanley Cup
Winners: Captain Dustin Brown kissed the Stanley Cup after beating out the New Jersey Devils
Action packed: No doubt the stars in attendance would have been delighted to see their team take home the trophy for the first time

FILE – In this June 14, 2014 file photo, Miami Heat forward LeBron James responds to a question during a media availability for the NBA basketball finals in San Antonio. A person familiar with the deals says the Cavaliers have agreed to trade guard Jarrett Jack, swingman Sergey Karasev and center Tyler Zeller, moves that can help their pursuit of LeBron James by clearing salary cap space. The Cavs have agreements with the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics, according to the person who spoke Wednesday, July 9, 2014, to The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because teams are not permitted to discuss any trades until the league's moratorium ends Thursday. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez) ORG XMIT: NY160

A 22-year-old British man who became an alcoholic as a teenager has died after doctors refused to give him a liver transplant.
Gary Reinbach began binge drinking when he was just 13 and ended up with severe cirrhosis of the liver.
He was admitted to a London hospital in May but died after doctors refused to give him a liver transplant amid fears he would not stay sober for six months after the operation.
Reinbach's distraught mother Madeline Reinbach said her son had been in great pain and scared before his life support machine was turned off on Sunday.
"When Gary was told how ill he was and how long he had left, I just held him and we both cried," she told the Daily Mirror newspaper in Britain on Tuesday.
"Gary wanted to live so badly – he did everything he could to co-operate with the doctors.
"They told him to stop smoking and he did. They told him to stay in bed and he did.
"All he wanted to do was prove that he was serious, and that he wouldn't drink again.
"But he never had the chance to prove himself properly because he was too fragile to be sent home.
"He couldn't go against the doctors, but because of that he couldn't have the second chance he wanted so much."
Reinbach was one of the youngest people in Britain to die of advanced cirrhosis brought on by binge drinking.
His mother said her son began drinking bottles of cheap cider with his mates while skipping school.
His habit got worse when he left school aged 17 and began drinking up to eight cans of beer plus a bottle of vodka or half a bottle of whisky and cans of cider.
The NHS Blood and Transplant service said in a statement Reinbach's case highlighted the dilemma faced by doctors because of a shortage of donated organs.
"They have to make tough decisions about who is going to get the benefit and who is going to take best care of this precious gift," the NHS said.

Lady Gaga Was Not The First Meat Dress Wearer According To Ripley's Believe It Or Not Book
Buzz around Lady Gaga's meat dress was probably deserved (because that ish is disgusting), but she definitely wasn't the first to wear a flesh frock. According to Ripley's Believe It Or Not's new book, Enter If You Dare!, that honor belongs more to Jia Jem from Chicago, Illinois, who fashioned a dress with salami ("because it's thin") and bacon ("because it looks meaty") to wear to a friend's party. Other highlights from the book include a French designer making a headdress out of rat carcasses, a Romanian woman making an entire wardrobe from her own hair, and a Tunisian man who created a pair of pants with a 22-story tall waistband. So, there you go. Lady Gaga's in good company.
Image: Author's own interpretation of Jia's dress. Obviously.
