A prank phone call led to about $15,000 in damage to the lobby and offices at the Comfort Inn on Shea Boulevard in Fountain Hills.

According to the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office someone called the hotel Sunday afternoon and claimed to be a representative of its alarm company.

The told the desk clerk they needed to reset the fire alarm system and asked them to pull the alarm lever, which they did.

The caller then told the clerk that to prevent all the fire sprinklers from going off they needed to activate one of the sprinkler heads by breaking it. The clerk did as they were asked, causing the flood.

Fountain Hills Fire Department was called to shut down the system and repair the sprinkler head. Firefighters also helped in removing water from the building.

*On Tuesday, Jan. 14, a Laveen woman was found in her car along the Beeline Highway north of Fountain Hills two days after she went off the road and into a wash. The woman reportedly left Mesa to return home in the West Valley on Sunday but got lost. Residents in nearby Goldfield Ranch heard a horn honking and found the woman in her vehicle. She was taken to the hospital for treatment as she had not taken medication in two days.

*On Wednesday, Jan. 15, a resident of the 3000 block of north 150th Street reported a pattern of harassment from his neighbor. A dispute between the two dates back 10 years and the man reported the neighbor was seen on his property Jan. 15.

*On Wednesday, Jan. 15, a Fountain Hills woman reported a financial consultant had fraudulently taken money from her account totaling more than $17,000.

*On Wednesday, Jan. 15, a resident of the 17000 block of San Marcus Drive reported someone entered his fenced back yard and removed lawn furniture.

Between January 24th and 26th this year, the Cabarrus Arena and Events Center will be full of the latest and greatest ideas for your home and your yard.

At the Greater Charlotte Home and Landscape Show you can learn how to spruce up your home and landscape yourself or you can find the perfect person to do it for you.

Appearing through the weekend are the stars of Animal Planet's show Tanked! - Wayde King and Brett Raymer. Fans of the show know their wild and massive fish tank projects.

Wayde and Brett visited WBTV News Saturday Morning to talk about the TV show and their appearance here in Concord.

Stars of "Tanked" to visit Home and Landscape show

Periods of lingering snow have formed a welcome blanket for shivering if drowsy flower buds this winter, and the snow has also provided a brilliant backdrop for big shrubs and small trees.

These woodies are at their least showy in deep winter, but they invite study of the textures and patterns of their bark along with the ornament of last years lingering pods and this years swelling buds. They catch the eye mostly, though, with their silhouettes in the landscape. The snow draws starker outlines.

I never tire of looking at a bottlebrush buckeye that sits on a hill about 30 feet from the kitchen window. It has grown in the past 20 years or more from a twig into a tall spreading shrub 15 feet high and 12 feet across. In leaf, it forms a fabulous screen of just the right scale. Now, it presents a pleasing tracery of charcoal gray branches.

It has reached maturity, stopped growing, for the most part, and rewarded patience with its little perfection. If I had been in a rush and planted a cedar or pine in its place, I would have been pleased for the first five years and fighting a giant thereafter. The world is full of trees that have outgrown their spaces and full of people trying to hack them back.

Hacking is bad, but pruning is good, or can be, if you know what youre doing. This is the season for pruning many of the deciduous woodies, but if you dont know why youre pruning or what youre pruning, then leave the plant alone. Nor should you assume that the guy who delivers your mulch knows how to prune.

If you prune in an arbitrary or excessive way, the plant can respond by growing a load of gangly and weak suckers water sprouts and you see this on badly pruned apple trees and crape myrtles.

When you get manic about pruning, you sometimes stop looking at the pleasing architecture of the plant and begin to see everything that is wrong: a rubbing branch, a stem growing inward, a water sprout, a broken twig. All these can be fixed through artful pruning. This month and next form a perfect period for this: The shrubs are dormant, they have yet to use energy in pushing new growth and, in their naked state, you can see the branch structure.
