Records show officials knew about tree decay before branch fell and killed boy in Calabasas
Crews at King Gillette Ranch raised concerns about a decaying tree a week before one of its branches snapped and killed an 8-year-old boy, according to documents obtained by CBS News Los Angeles. The text and emails from the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, which operates King Gillette Ranch, showed that staff requested the removal of "a branch that snapped and was resting on a lower branch" on July 2. A day later, July 3, an employee wrote an email that read in part, "don't know if this limb cracking has anything to do with the health of the tree." On the same day, the division chief wrote: "Wow. That was a massive branch. Thank god that no one was seriously hurt or killed. Thank you so much for taking care of this. I would not have been able to sleep at night knowing that branch was just waiting to fall." Text messages from the people who appear to have hauled the initial limb away expressed their concerns about the health of the tree, writing, "it is somewhat concerning seeing all the decay at the trunk." They also suggest staff thin the canopy to mitigate risk. Six days later, on July 9, another branch fell onto picnic tables and hurt several people and killed the 8-year-old boy, who was attending a summer camp at the ranch. CBS News Los Angeles compared images of the damaged tree from July 2 and the tree at the heart of the deadly incident. The two trees appear to be the same based on their limb structure and decay patterns on the trunk. "The first step you normally take in such a circumstance, if you have a tree and you have concerns about it, you block off the area and you move what are called targets," said master arborist Steve Marshall, who was not involved in the inspection or removal of the tree. Marshall added that targets include swing sets, benches and other items that could draw people to the area. "If you have access to the branch that has fallen, you are going to examine where it split off the tree to see if you can get some understanding of what occurred," Marshall said. He added that fatalities involving trees are incredibly rare, but make the job of a risk assessment critical. Staff have posted warnings at the King Gillette Ranch, alerting people to falling tree limbs. It's unclear how long those signs have been posted. The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority said they have commissioned an external investigation into the death and the events leading up to the tree falling. The director also reiterated their apology to those impacted. MRCA did not respond to questions about the tree's health prior to the accident.

Miss Manners: Please only operate on your own pizza
Dear Miss Manners: I work with a woman with whom I have a friendly, professional relationship. We are often in shared-food settings together, such as office lunches or happy hours with appetizers. She adheres to a no-carb diet, but is quite gracious about encouraging others to order or bring whatever they'd like, saying that she'll 'make it work.' My qualm is that when she needs to modify a food, such as only eating the cheese from a pizza, she will execute the modification on the shared dish, rather than taking a slice of pizza and carving it up on her own plate. The crust carcass remains on the serving plate. Is this strange? Is there a polite way to encourage her to perform pizza surgery on her own plate? 'Here, Taylor, why don't you take your piece first.' Dear Miss Manners: I own a small retail gift shop. I offer my clientele traditional gift certificates, printed on card stock, that have the recipient's name, the sender's name and the gift amount, all handwritten by myself. For the past several years, a gentleman from the West Coast has called and purchased a gift certificate for his sister who lives here locally. It's a considerable amount each year. She came in once and requested a handblown glass item that was out of stock. I have since had them restocked, but she hasn't returned. I keep detailed notes of each gift certificate sold and redeemed. This past year, when the brother called, I didn't mention to him that his sister hasn't been redeeming the certificates. I thought it gauche. But I did send a polite note with her next gift, telling her that the item she was looking for is now back in stock. I included our store hours, and wrote that we look forward to seeing her again. It's been six months and she has not shown up, and she has several gift certificates now. They never expire and will always be honored; that's not the problem. I honestly feel in a quandary about receiving money for products that are not being purchased. The brother presumably doesn't know she isn't redeeming his gift certificates, but I don't know if saying something to him is the polite thing to do. Should I say something the next time he calls, or stay quiet? 'I hope that your sister is well. I haven't seen her in the shop in a while, and I was concerned. I would love her to enjoy the things that you are kind enough to facilitate her buying.' This is a gentle way to alert him to the certificate situation, while legitimately veiling it under the more polite guise that your concern is really about her health. Miss Manners will add that it also saves both of you the embarrassment — if it gets back to her — of ratting her out if her taste in shops has changed.
