What rock are you hiding under scumbag? Scumbags? And how long do any of' you really think it will be before you end up in a jail cell for the killing of Tim Bosnia? Some are calling them the KiJiji Killers. The truth is they are not exactly showing themselves to be master criminals. Dim, actually. Police were able to track down one suspect, Dellen Millard, 27, thanks to a similar test drive of a truck the day before in which the unharmed tipster recalled one of the men sporting it tattoo that said "ambition:' Oops. Millard was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the death of Bosma. And Bosnia's cellphone was found in Brantford? Einstein. Police said somebody tried to make a body disappear by burning it "beyond all recognition" 011 the sus- pect's own property? 'Ihe missing truck was found in a trailer on his mother's property? Witless is one word that comes to mind. So what's the next mistake going to be? Are any of you in any of those Facebook pictures that are all over social media? Are those in some of the pictures who were interviewed by police going to keep their mouths shut like Millard is purported to be doing by exercising his Charter rights? Or tell police everything they know? "'Ihe smartest move is to lawyer up and turn themselves in," said crime specialist Ross McLean. "Sometimes there is a race to get their side on the story into police first because it's a myth that criminals stick together with 25 years on the line." --- Joe Warmr►Iglorl QM!

So planting trees is i► no !trainer. But what kind to plant? It's best to plant native species (ones that grow naturally 111 our area) because they're used to the local soil and weather condi- tions. They generally survive longer, need Iess watering, and are more disease -resist- ant. 111 other words, all the beauty and ben- efits of trees with less work! (And that's especially important if you're faced with replacing trees lost to the Emerald Ash Borer.) When you plant it native tree, you're also helping to provide it habitat for native birds, animals and inserts.

'Ihe soil 1'h effects availability of miner- als to the plant. Soil should not be compacted. Water sufficiently but (10 not over water. Make sure it is enough to replace what the tree has used and maintaining adequate soil moisture. Create a "water well" around the tree to keep the water with the tree. Sur- rounding the tree with a thick layer of shred- ded wood mulch will also help hold the moisture in.
