Two men are accused of bilking a 75-year-old Winter Park man out of tens of thousands of dollars for tree removal and foundation repair work that was never completed, police said.

One of the men, Kenneth Caron Jr., 42, was charged last year in Maitland with running a similar scam.

According to Winter Park police, a woman solicited the man to complete work on his home. Her son, John Anthony Hadden, 34, and Caron then started taking payments from the victim for work that was not done nor needed, police said.

Winter Park police Sgt. John Bologna did not have an exact figure but said it was between $20,000 and $100,000.

"It's unfortunate with the elderly, they are very trusting," Bologna said. "(The victim) trusted these individuals."

The investigation started in mid-March. After interviewing the victim, authorities uncovered the scam, Bologna said. Caron and Hadden were charged with second-degree exploitation of the elderly.

Caron, also charged with burglary of dwelling, is being held in the Orange County Jail on a $10,000 bond. Hadden was arrested last month and posted a $2,500 bond.

Caron was accused last summer of taking nearly $20,000 from an 83-year-old Maitland woman in another tree skimming scam. In that case, authorities alleged he approached the woman and said the trees were "too long" and had termites. He said they had to be cut down immediately because they violated city code.

He was charged with third-degree exploitation of the elderly. The case is still pending.

State corrections records show Hadden was sentenced in May to three years probation for trafficking stolen property.

ARCADIA The Woo family would like a once-stately ash tree that came crashing down on their Yarmouth County home Saturday safely removed from atop their roof.

But Patsy and Keenan Woo say they are having a hard time finding someone to tackle the project.

That used to be a carriage house years ago, and now its a big room, Patsy Woo said Tuesday, pointing toward their renovated family room.

What they believe to be a giant ash tree lies on the roof, exactly where it fell.

When the tree fell Saturday during the worst moments of Arthurs fury, with wind gusts reaching more than 100 kilometre per hour, the Woos thought all was lost.

Damage is still being assessed.

We dont know yet, Patsy Woo said about estimated repair costs.

Theres no holes in the roof, but we cant really see what damage there is until we lift everything off the house.

The ancient ash appears to be more than one tree growing together in multiple trunks.

Woo saw the tree come down in a moment of shock and awe.

You see them around town. Trees marked with a red "x" that are considered dangerous and on a list to be cut down. But how long is it supposed to take?

The Spomer girls believe they're standing in the shadow of danger. Christina Spomer says, "If there's a big storm I think it will fall sometime Sara Spomer says, " Some of the pieces already came off in a storm."

The silver maple across the street stands in the right of way right in front of Bryson Wiser's home. Bryson says, " I feel like if its dead, this whole thing could fall and land on my house."

Declared unsound and a hazard the tree will be cut down by the city which sent notice of removal four years ago. Not only did the city send this letter implying the danger of this tree in September 2010 the x marking its removal has almost faded.

But a safety concerns remain vivid in the eyes of neighbors. Marie Spomer says, " Were taking a risk no matter what with this tree because every time there's a storm we have sticks and parts of the tree that come down."

Fact Finders contacted the city forester who tells Bryson its matter of priorities. John Wynn Omaha city forester tells Wiser, " I can see your issue with the roots and its on our list. But we have so many other trees in the city that are in worse shape but we'll try to get to this one in the next couple of months."

The forester says the tree's canopy shows signs of life but that won't erase stability concerns that the city promises to remove four years later.

The city forester says there are about seventy five trees on the "A" list scheduled for removal. Not only is the one we showed you moving up but a tree next door may come down the same time.

In Bristol, if a town owned tree that is otherwise healthy causes damage to personal property, the homeowner may have to live with the nuisance.

Bryan McWilliams, who owns a home at 114 Hopeworth Ave., sought the advice of the Town Council on Wednesday, June 25, after Tree Warden Mike King refused his request to remove two of the three pine trees from the edge of his property.

Mr. McWilliams said that since buying his home in 1997, the town-owned pine trees on the sidewalk of Berry Lane abutting his property have become a nuisance and he has offered to pay for their removal and replanting of deciduous trees in their stead.

Sap and other residue are getting onto our vehicles. Branches have broken our fence panels, Mr. McWilliams told members of the Town Council.

But, said Mr. King, the two large pine trees are healthy trees.

With the town administrators office receiving about 25 tree-related requests each week for pruning, trimming and removal, those that present a safety risk are given priority.

Anything could happen. In my best opinion these trees are fairly safe, Mr. King said. I see so many other trees that need work.

By allowing homeowners to pay for town trees they dont want, it could set a precedent, he said. It might set off a frenzy, Mr. King said.

To date, the town grants the removal of a tree if it has failed and is unhealthy, if it needs to be removed to allow for a curb cut, or if it poses a safety hazard.

Council Vice President Halsey Herreshoff, after listening to the discussion, decided the trees should be spared. My inclination is to follow your recommendation, he told Mr. King.
