WELCOME BACK — Whether it’s a reunion (with a little “r”) or the Reunion going on this week in Decatur, these
familiar get-togethers serve to strengthen our bonds with those who have helped shape our lives. Junior Gray and Kevin

I’ve never been a part of the Wise

That’s as it should be. That movie trailer is different for everyone.

when I hear the word reunion is

For Katie Hubbard, a
student at Ogle School for
Hair, Skin and Nails in
Denton, formulating hair
color is a forte.
“That’s what I’m the best
at,” the 2010 Alvord High
School graduate said. “I
have a firm grasp of which
colors go together, which
colors don’t and how to formulate colors to look a certain way.”
This
weekend,
the
fourth-phase cosmetology
student — slated to complete school in September
or October — is hoping to
concoct — and model —
the perfect mixture at the
Wella Professionals Trend
Vision competition in Los
Angeles for one of two bids
to international competition in Madrid, Spain, in
November.
“It’s like the Grammys
or Oscars of the hair industry,” Hubbard said. “So
many people enter, but
only six per category are
selected for the national
competition. From there,
only two are selected for
international competition.”

It’s a dozen kids in the lake, with
Grandpa in a floating chair out

It’s peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches and cold glasses of milk.
It’s running barefoot and getting

I didn’t get to enough of those

I’m OK with that. The memories
are vivid and real.

From a young age, she’s
enjoyed swimming. She
competed with a select

years ago.
She even teaches lessons during the summer
and plans to pursue a career around water.
So it only seemed appropriate that her belated
quinceañera, her “dulce
(sweet) 16” was celebrated
in a water park, Denton
Water Works, coincidentally adjacent to a natatorium in which she’s competed for several years.
“I’ve always been attracted to water,” she said.

To qualify for the event,
hairdressers — professionals and students — submitted photos of their interpretation of one of four trends
in three categories — color,
young talent and student. Of
blaze, grace, celeste and roxy,
Hubbard and her colleague,
Kim Martinez, went with
the blaze trend for a faceoff
competition at school.
“Blaze is a sensual, Spanish trend that you pair with
lace, embroidered, open
wear,” Hubbard said. “The
colors in theme are magenta,
black and blonde. I formulated a way to get to those
colors by looking at the tones
to see what went together.”
Hubbard mixed the color
and Martinez applied it to
her pixie-cut hair.
“It’s a precise cut,” Hubbard said. “I’m wearing a
one-strap lace dress with a
pink bra and pink slip to accentuate the magenta in my
hair.”
The duo submitted a photo from the face-off for the
student category. Their submission was selected for the
national competition.
“We were one of six student teams selected in
North America,” Hubbard
said. “A lot of people enter
— all of North America and
several countries all over
the world. Other countries
will compete in their home
countries and will also have
two finalists chosen to compete in Spain at the international competition.
Hubbard and Martinez
will fly to California Friday
night. On Saturday, Hubbard will mix the color, and
Martinez will cut a few centimeters of Hubbard’s hair
to “prove it’s my hair” and
apply the color.

Conservation is topic of stakeholder’s meeting Aug. 3
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Wise Soil and
Water Conservation District
(SWCD) and the local working group invite the public
to the annual Conservation
Stakeholder’s Meeting at 10
a.m. Friday, Aug. 3, at the
USDA Service Center Conference Room, 1604 West
Business 380, in Decatur.
Each year the local working group hosts a public meeting to determine
the resource concerns and
needs of the area and how
to best address those needs.
The NRCS and its local conservation partner, the Wise
SWCD, provide agriculture
producers with professional
consultation and financial
assistance through Farm
Bill conservation programs
to apply conservation practices on their land that
address soil erosion and
health, water quality and
quantity issues, as well as
wildlife habitat.
The local working group
includes community agricultural producers, owners/
operators of nonindustrial
private forest land, professionals
representing
agricultural and natural
resource interests, and individuals representing a
variety of disciplines in the
soil, water, wetland, plant,
forestry and wildlife sciences who are familiar with
agricultural and natural resource issues.
All landowners and land
managers in Wise County
are encouraged to attend
and participate in this
meeting. This open discussion public meeting will
focus on identifying area
natural resource concerns
that can be addressed using
conservation programs and
activities.
“Effective
conservation
stems from a locally led process,” said Darnell Willis,
NRCS district conservationist for Wise County. “The
Wise County NRCS office
operates on the concept that
local residents best understand local issues and are
the key to solving problems.
“Our Conservation Stakeholders Meeting gives everyone the opportunity to
decide how the assistance
from the NRCS and Farm
Bill funds can be most beneficial for our community,”
he said.
Through the Wise SWCD,
the local working group will
provide recommendations
to the NRCS district conservationist on local natural resource priorities and
criteria for conservation
activities and programs
planning for the upcoming
fiscal year. These issues
will be especially important in decisions made for
financial assistance when
implementing the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). This
program is administered
by the NRCS and provides
incentive payments for
the installation of several
conservation practices on
eligible participants’ land.
The information gathered
from these meetings will be
used to help carry out the
EQIP and other programs
in 2013.
While the NRCS brings
the technical expertise and
Farm Bill funding to the table, the goods and services
are delivered through the
local SWCD board. SWCDs
are local units of government made up of five members elected by the public.
Wise
County’s
board
members include Chairman Cody Gillispie, Greenwood; Vice Chairman Merlin Remmele, Paradise;
Secretary Wayne Long, Decatur; Member Bill Fennell,
Rhome; and Member Paul
Wood, Boonsville. Their office is co-located with the
NRCS office. Members of
SWCD Boards are actively
engaged in farming and
ranching.
For information, including
eligibility
requirements, call the NRCS office
in the USDA Service Center at (940) 627-2268, ext.
3. Service Center locations,
meeting dates and program
information can be found

Reunions remind ...
between. It’s squeals of recognition and happy hugs,
fond memories of band,
basketball and biology. It’s
missing those who won’t be
back.
Just last weekend, we
had a kind of reunion
with a bunch of our dearest friends, most of them
grandparents now. We sat
in lawn chairs under whatever shade we could find
and picked up conversations that started a couple
of decades ago and show no
signs of slowing down. We
prayed over the food, ate
and laughed and sweated
together, basking in fellow-
ship that is sweeter as the
years go by.
Reunion is much more
than the sum of its parts.
It is much more than food,
hugs and strolls through a
world that lives only in our
memories.
Reunion — whether it’s
family, high school, college, military, old friends
or old settlers — brings us
back to who we are by reminding us who we were.
Reunion is a chance, like
Jimmy Stewart had in the
movie “It’s a Wonderful
Life,” to look back and see
who we touched and who
touched us, and the impact
that had on us and them. It
reminds us that no matter

how far down the economy
might be, no matter how
far away we might feel at
times, there are people in
this world who know us
well and love us anyway.
No matter how far we
may go, how much we learn
or forget, gain or lose, grow
or shrink, those “reunion”
people will always see us
the way they saw us back
then. Sometimes we have a
hard time believing that’s
a good thing — but we’re
infinitely better off if we
can. It’s healthy to be able
to admit, even welcome, the
presence of who we were,
no matter how far we’ve
come.
Reunion trues us up, gets
us going back in the direction we set off in, so long
net. The deadline to submit
applications is Wednesday

My mother’s guiding finger
By GERRE JOINER
One of the most vivid of
my childhood memories
is sitting with my mother
in the small West Texas
church we attended. One
of my early prayers, as I
remember, was something
like, “Lord, I would like to
be able to touch the floor
with my feet while sitting
in this pew.” I think we
adults forget what it’s like
for a small child to sit in
the pew in the uncomfortable shape of an “L.”
My mother finished the
eighth grade and never received musical training of
any kind, but she made it
possible for me, as a young
reader and aspiring singer,
to participate in the hymn
singing at the church. She
pointed. She sang.
Her finger pointed to the
words of the first stanza on
the page of the old Broadman Hymnal as the church
sang, “When We All Get to
Heaven.” We sang the chorus. Then her finger rested
on the first word of the
second stanza of the old
hymn. I found that I could
add my little voice to the
congregation’s as we sang,
“…in the mansions bright
and blessed, He’ll prepare
for us a place.”
Almost 60 years later, I
enjoy recalling a 40-year
career spent in directing
church music. A music
education has made it possible for me to help train
quite a few aspiring young
musicians. The journey in
church music has put me
in front of choirs and instrumentalists who looked
to me to set the tempo and
mood of the piece on which
we were working or performing.
A few days ago, my wife
and I read Psalm 145 during our morning devotional time. I read aloud,
“One
generation
shall
praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy
mighty acts.” I thought of
my mother’s little finger
pointing to the words so
I could learn to praise my
Maker with the rest of the
congregation. Later in the
day, I recalled another portion of Psalm 145: “They
shall abundantly utter the
memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy
righteousness.”
Later this month, my
family
will
celebrate
Mother’s 100th birthday.
when we walk toward her
in the nursing home, it’s
not out of the ordinary to
hear her singing, “When
We All Get to Heaven.” Her
hoarse little voice chimes
out in perfect rhythm
those words, “When we all
see Jesus, we’ll sing and
shout the victory.”
I’m almost 6 feet 4 inches
tall now. I can sit in almost
any chair (or pew) and my
feet can touch the floor just
fine. My childhood prayers
were answered. I’m thinking my mother’s prayers
have been answered, too.

YOUR VIEWS
Thanks for the wellrounded story
Brandon Evans, thanks for the article on the
Wise County Old Settlers Reunion. You did a
great job of covering the current reunion, which
has been a tradition for years, but also did your
research about the history of the reunion.
Not just mine but a lot of our ancestors came
to Wise County before and after the Civil War.
Most were Confederate veterans but there
were some Union veterans as well. They came
here mostly from the South but also Missouri.
They just wanted to leave the past behind.
We are blessed that they came to Wise County to start their new lives. Thanks for researching the history and reporting it accurately. You
did an awesome job!

We’re owed an apology
I was somewhat shocked and surprised that
the Messenger would even print the recent
letter by Mr. Hughes, when it was so obviously
full of error. I would even go so far to say that,
as a practicing Catholic, I was actually offended. In my opinion, the lame footnote at the end
of the letter was not adequate.
I think the Messenger owes an apology.
Rose Stuber
Alvord
Get the facts straight
If Ken Hughes insists on framing himself as
a liberal elitist know-it-all, please, Mr. Hughes,
get your facts straight.
The shameful circumstances surrounding
the offenses at Penn State University have
no association with the Catholic church. As
a practicing Catholic, I take offense at your
suggestion to the contrary. Our area Catholic
parishes contribute greatly to the quality of
life in and around Wise County, as do other local religious denominations.
Anyone with half a brain can rattle off a
mile-long list of the problems in our world. I’m
not sure how insulting any faith community
contributes to solving those awful things. If
you want to be an atheist, agnostic — or however you want to label yourself — that’s your
business. I’d thank you to leave my belief set
out of your weekly rants.

Thank you for the
correction
Thank you for correcting one of the serious
errors in a recent diatribe tendered by your
most prolific left-wing writer. Indeed, Pennsylvania State University is not a Catholic
institution.
It makes me wonder about a person’s veracity and intentions when such an error is interjected in a letter to the general readership.
Perchance it indicates a lack of knowledge in
certain areas.

OUR VIEWS
There’s a better way to address pollution
By BRANDON EVANS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency isn’t stepping
lightly into the Barnett Shale
as it declared Wise County be
placed in a federal ozone nonattainment zone due to oil and
gas industry pollution and automobile traffic.
Despite the amount of pollution produced by oil and gas
drilling, it’s hard to imagine
that Wise County pollution
equals the same seen from
auto and industrial pollution
in Metroplex counties such as
Tarrant, Dallas and Denton
that all have 20 times or more
the population.
I guess it’s the EPA’s way
to try to better monitor the
oil and gas industry, but it’s
the wrong way. If you look at
cases of people being affected
by the gas industry in Wise
County, it’s always on a caseby-case basis. I don’t know
of any widespread effects, at
this point in time, from gas
drilling.
There
are
several
disturbing cases
in Wise County. There have
EVANS been instances
of ground water contamination. People
have suffered rashes, nosebleeds, headaches, memory
loss and other ailments from
gas site emissions. Overflows
at injection sites have befouled landscapes.
But gas drilling and production, if done correctly and
properly monitored, is pretty
safe compared to most other
attempts to pull fossil fuels
from the earth. But there
are some companies and contractors that will cut corners
where they can — not fully
aware of the health and safety of those who live in the vicinity.
But the only way to prevent such cases is to have
more boots on the ground.
The Texas Railroad Commission must hire more inspectors to monitor all levels of
drilling and production. The
EPA should, too, if they care
so much. Or they should help
the state hire more inspectors
at the local level. That is the
only way to ensure the health
and safety of people and the
environment from drilling activity.
I’ve been covering this issue for years, and I’ve talked
to dozens of people on both
sides of the issue. They all
agree on more inspectors.
For instance, long-time water well driller Larry Bisidas
has seen several of his wells
start to produce murky, salty
water after fracking occurred
nearby. He said having an
inspector on the ground at
each fracking site would help
ensure groundwater is not affected.
And Ed Ireland, the front
man for industry-funded Barnett Shale Energy Education
Council, told me the Railroad
Commission does not have
enough inspectors to properly
monitor all production sites.
If you increased the number of Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality and
Railroad Commission inspectors to visit possible emission
sites, you could stop it before
it ever starts.
Everybody agrees that protecting and preserving the
water, land and air for future generations is of utmost
importance, but somewhere
there is a division on just how
to do it.
Using a blanket approach
like ozone non-attainment
on an industry that waxes
and wanes and has plenty of
companies with a good track
record isn’t the answer. Like
all things, the devil is in the
details, which is where better
regulation must start.

County counters ...
What could lie ahead
ty,” said Thomas Aaberg, attorney for the county commissioners. “The closest
monitor is at Eagle Mountain Lake. That one has offended quiet a few times but
is located downwind of Fort
Worth.”
The EPA is using standards approved by the Bush
Administration in 2008.
A state or region must implement steps to reduce
ground-level ozone if an
area exceeds 75 parts-perbillion of the stuff during an
eight-hour period.
Ground-level ozone is a
key ingredient in smog. It
is created when volatile
organic compounds and nitrogen oxides, which are
emitted by automobiles and
certain industries, heat up
in the afternoon sun. Regular exposure to ozone causes
or exacerbates respiratory
problems, mainly in the old
and the young. It also harms
animals and damages vegetation.
The county contends that
the data used for EPA’s May
ruling came from 2006. And
it failed to account for prevailing winds. A state study
determined that during
ozone season, which runs
from late spring through
early fall, winds blow from
Wise County down to the
Eagle Mountain Lake ozone
County must
adopt measures
if non-attainment
designation stands
By BRANDON EVANS
If the May 20 ruling by the Environmental Protection Agency
stands, individuals and industries in Wise County must adopt
a series of measures to lower the
amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted locally.
These chemicals, released from
tailpipes and smokestacks, contribute to the creation of groundmonitor only 3 percent of
the time.
The county has hired an
attorney to help present
their facts in the federal
court.
“Our attorney seems to
think that we have a pretty
good chance since the hard
facts aren’t there,” Aaberg
said. “We just want this
to be fair and get a second
look.”
The county has been
joined by the state of Texas, Devon Energy, Targa
Resources Corp., Gas Processors Association, Texas
Pipeline Association and
others.
level ozone, a key ingredient in
smog.
“Ozone when it’s in the upper
atmosphere is good — it blocks a
lot of heat from the sun and keeps
us from turning into Mars,” said
Curtis DeVore, an environmental
compliance expert with Trinity
Consultants in Dallas.
But on the ground it leads to respiratory problems in people and
animals, kills vegetation and creates a haze, limiting visibility.
Nine nearby counties are already
designated in non-attainment for
federal standards of ground-level
ozone. In 1997, the standard was
set at 80-parts-per-billion over an
eight-hour period. In 2008, it was
“This affects more than
just Wise County,” Aaberg
said. “It affects a lot of people.”
“The science behind the
designation is lackluster,”
said Joe Leonard, a Devon engineer, to the House
Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform on
July 13.
And the county has
also been joined by businesses and municipalities
throughout the county that
have passed resolutions opposing the EPA’s designation.
“There have been 14 resolutions passed that support
made stricter, lowered to 75-partsper-billion in an eight-hour period.
And President Barack Obama recently rejected a 2011 EPA proposal to lower it even further to
70-parts-per-billion.
If the May ruling stands, Wise
must implement a series of steps
to lower its contribution to groundlevel ozone by Dec. 31, 2018.
Based on surrounding counties,
those steps include:
Enhanced vehicle inspections: once a year car owners
must get a tailpipe emissions test
or on-board computer test to analyze emissions. By state law, these
tests cannot exceed $39.75. There
are also several programs to help
us on this,” Aaberg said.
“That really helps. And
it shows everyone in the
county is aware and getting
more involved.”
And the county still hopes
to resolve the issue without
litigation. Last Tuesday,
a committee composed of
Aaberg, County Judge Bill
McElhaney and Precinct
1 County Commissioner
Danny White met with
EPA officials in Arlington
to discuss a more thorough
investigation before designating Wise County in the
non-attainment region.
“They were willing to go
back and talk to some of
low-income or fixed-income drivers repair or upgrade their automobiles.
Speed limit reductions: any
stretch of roadway that is 65
miles per hour or higher will be
lowered by 5 mph
Additional controls on existing sources of pollution
More stringent permitting
requirements for new sources or
plant expansions
More controls on stationary
combustion diesel engines (these
are used a lot in the oil and gas
industry).

complainants, must present
a summary of arguments to
the D.C. court by Aug. 20.

“It’s hard to explain. Water, for me,
makes life better. I feel relaxed and
happy when I’m in it.”
In addition to a break away from
the norm as far as a venue, the coming of age tradition came later than
usual.
“We had a lot going on when she
was getting ready to turn 15, so we
weren’t sure if we were going to have
a quinceañera,” her mother, Monica,
explained. “At first it was a yes. Then
it was a no. But then it was a definite
yes.”
After both her dad and brother
had major surgeries, her paternal
grandfather became seriously ill and
her maternal grandfather fought
— and beat — nose cancer.
They recuperated, but then her
mother underwent a back fusion
surgery that left her bed ridden for
months.
“She would dress me, cook for the
family, clean the house, shower me
— she did it all,” her mother said.
“After all of that, there was no doubt
in my mind she deserved this day. I
would do what I had to do to get this
kid a party.”
And — with the help of her family, including husband Carlos, sister
Alex and her parents — she did.
From gluing together centerpieces,
to cutting fruit and making sandwiches to feed the guests to lending
financial support, the organization of
Guirnalda’s day was a family affair,
accented by a theme of seashells.
“Alex decorated her old crown with
seashells,” Monica said. “My dad,
Guirnalda’s grandfather, made another crown for her out of pearls and
seashells. My parents brought her
rosary made out of seashells from
their trip to Puerto Rico.”
But the seashell-accented elements were not the only customized
features of the day.
Her uncle, Jose Guadalupe Lopez,
restored a 1945 Chevy pickup —
complete with a black and blue ostrich leather interior — in which she
rode to church. It’s bold blue exterior
perfectly matched her princess ball
DADDY’S GIRL — Guirnalda shares her first dance with her father, Carlos
Lopez, at her “dulce (sweet) 16” Saturday at Denton Water Works. “That
was one of my favorite memories,” she said. “It was such a special
moment.”
gown.
Those touches, Guirnalda said,
made the day that much more special.
“Everything was made for me,”
Guirnalda said. “It means even more
that way. It’s the perfect touch.”
Another unique touch was instead
of the typical seven- or 14-couple
court of honor comprised of teenagers close in age to the quinceañera,
Guirnalda’s court consisted of six
couples ranging in age from under 7
years to 17.
Furthermore, each couple donned
a different color.
“I wanted the damas (the girls in
the court) to pick their favorite colors and pick their dresses, something
they would wear again,” Guirnalda
said. “Also, that way they’re like the
fish in the ocean — all different colors, all different.”
Deacon Mauricio Hernandez, of
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary Catholic Church, who officiated the religious ceremony earlier in
the day, found a greater significance
in this element.
“He pointed out that the different colors reminded him of a rainbow,” Monica said. “And that that’s
the way we should look at life. That
Guirnalda definitely sees life that
way. He can tell by the smile she al-
ways has on her face.”
Despite the various unique aspects, the family incorporated traditional elements such as the aforementioned religious ceremony and
gifts like a necklace symbolic of her
faith and a crown to denote her as
the princess of the night.
She also received a customary
surprise gift perfectly suited for her
preferences — tickets to swim with
the dolphins at Sea World.
Some features came a day late
such as the typical champagne toast
the next day during a family barbecue.
“Since we couldn’t bring champagne into the waterpark, we did a
brindis (toast) Sunday,” her mother
said. “Everyone spoke about her,
cried about her, laughed about her.”
Also on Sunday, Guirnalda shared
special waltzes with her dad, grandfather and uncles. Although she
danced with them before dancing
a choreographed routine with her
court at her party Saturday, she
wasn’t able to dance the special
songs she had specifically picked because they left the CD at home.
“Despite that mix-up, my favorite
memories are dancing with my daddy, grandpas and all of my uncles,”
she said. “That is so special.”
But, she contends, so was every-
WATER CELEBRATION — Having grown up around water, it was only natural
that Guirnalda Lopez of Decatur hold her coming of age celebration in a
water park. Coincidentally, her venue of choice, Denton Water Works, is
adjacent to the natatorium in which she’s competed for several years as
part of a select and her high school swim team.
thing else about the night.
“She got the biggest swim party
of her life,” Monica said. “I am just
so thrilled, so thankful. She had a
smile on her face the whole time.
And it made all the stress and planning worth it. To see her loved by so
many family members and friends.
It was so neat. It was hug after hug
after hug. I could not be any more
thankful. I have no other emotion
but happy.”
Guirnalda added: “It couldn’t have
turned out any better. Yes, we forgot
some things; some things didn’t turn
out like they were supposed to. But
that’s what made it so much better
in the end — the memories to laugh
about. What mattered most was having the ones I love there that day and
seeing how happy everyone was. It
was good to know I wasn’t the only
one enjoying the party. We all did.
Hanging in the lazy river with my
friends and cousins was great, too.”

TAKING SPOT AT TOP — After winning the South Central Open Pro Sport title, Mitchell Oldenburg, 18, will try to secure a national title next week at Loretta Lynn
Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.
Driven to ride
Oldenburg ready to race nation’s best amateurs
By RICHARD GREENE
When Jeff Oldenburg bought his
son Mitchell his first dirt bike at 4
years old, he couldn’t get him on it.
“I’d ask him if he wanted to ride
and he said no,” Jeff recalled. “Months
went by and every time we’d go out,
I’d ask him if he wanted to ride. I
gave up asking after a while. About
three months later he got on the bike.
But he wasn’t going to do it until he
was ready.”
Fourteen years later, Mitchell rarely leaves the bike, riding his Monster
Energy Kawasaki to the South Central Open Pro Sport and 450 championship in June. Next week, he will try
for a national crown at the American
Motorcyclist Association’s Amateur
National Motocross Championships
at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane
Mills, Tenn.
Mitchell, 18, will race four days
Tuesday through Friday at the nation’s largest amateur event against
the sport’s fastest.
“I feel good and have been working
hard, not only for Loretta but also for
the pros,” Mitchell said. “I want to do
this for a living.”
Racing and motocross are in his
blood. His father, who operates Oak
Hill Raceway near Alvord, has been
in the sport since 1973. Mitchell’s
older brother, McCoy, also races, but
is currently recovering from a knee
injury.
Even with that racing background,
Mitchell didn’t immediately jump on
the bike and compete.
“His first year, he was slow and
wouldn’t let it go,” Jeff said. “Now,
he’s one of the fastest in the country.”
It’s been hours and hours of turning
laps around the Oak Hill track along
with an extensive workout regimen
that includes lifting weights and cardio training.
“I ride four to five days per week for
four to six hours; go to the gym two
days and do cardio five days,” Mitchell said. “If you want to do this, you’ve
got to make it a job and give it your
all.”
Jeff said his son’s work ethic has
turned him into the rider he’s become.
“The kid gets up at 7 a.m. and is at
the gym or on the road,” he said. “He’s
his own mechanic and works on his
bikes. He spends three to four hours
riding and then hits the road bike. He
washes his bike and gear, and gets it
ready for the next day.
“He has a good work ethic. The difference between that half-percent
and the rest is the will to work at it.”
That work ethic is fueled by a passion for the sport of motocross.
“This is all I’ve been doing since
I was 4,” Mitchell said. “It’s in my
blood.”
He’s also addicted to the thrills
on the bike as he defies gravity, flying over hills and tests the limits of
his balance whipping around turns.
His ability to cut around corners, he
said, gives him an advantage on the
course.
The speeds of up to 65 mph and
jumps high in the air don’t phase him.
“It’s definitely scary at first,” he
said. “But it’s all about comfort, and
since I’ve been doing it since I was
born, I’ve gotten used to it.”
With each physics-testing move on
the track, he and his other racers ride
a thin line between triumph and catastrophe. Mitchell has had his share
of injuries, including a broken collarbone, pelvis, arm, wrist and tailbone.
He’s also had a few concussions.
“I’ve had a few injuries,” he admit-
ted. “The broken pelvis was bad. I
couldn’t move for 10 days.
“It’s weird every time you get injured and are laying on the track
with a broken bone, you say you’re
done. Then two weeks go by and
you’re bored and all you want to do is
ride again.”
Mitchell and his father recognize
the danger of the sport. But Jeff
points out how it has brought their
family together.
“It is a dangerous sport,” he said.
“But I know where my kids are at
all times. How many parents can say
that?”
Mitchell, who has captured national titles at lower levels, has had success at Loretta Lynn Ranch over the
years. He won a championship in the
50 class and won a moto in the 125s.
In 2010 he finished fifth.
He will race in the top two classes,
250 and 450, against the nation’s
best.
“The competition is tough, and
there will be a lot of fast guys there,”
Mitchell said. “I’m going to focus on
me. If I’m not first, I’m going to work
harder next time.”
With aspirations of turning pro
over the winter, Mitchell realizes that
the stakes are high this year at the
spotlight event to attract big-time
sponsors. He is currently helped by
11 different sponsors including Monster Energy Kawasaki and Karl Klement Ford in Decatur.
Mitchell said the usually exciting atmosphere in Tennessee will be
mixed with anxiety.
“It’s a fun atmosphere with a lot going on,” Mitchell said. “It’s definitely
the most stressful. If you want all the
support, it’s the race you have to do
well at. The highs are great, and the
lows suck.”

TEENAGE GIRLS’ CHOICES
According to a recent survey of more than 2,000 girls between the ages
of 15 and 19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, teenage
girls are waiting longer to have sex. Fifty-seven percent of the girls
surveyed never had sex, which compares to 49 percent of sex abstainers
in 1995. Equally important, those who are choosing to engage in sex are
using contraception more often. Sixty percent of the girls are using the
most effective birth control methods (including the pill, the patch, or
vaginal rings), and condoms are only being perceived as being moderately
effective. These findings lead many to conclude that if teenagers are
provided with reliable information, they will make responsible choices.
At our practice, we provide routine preventive services for women, as
well as family planning, counseling, normal and high-risk pregnancy
care, and acute and chronic gynecologic treatment. If you would like to
schedule an appointment, call WISE OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY
P.A. at 940-626-8008. We emphasize preventative medicine and
provide comprehensive female care for women of all ages. The office is
conveniently located at 2451 South FM 51, Suite. 300, Decatur. New
patients are welcome.
P.S. Teen pregnancies are at an all-time low of 34.3 births per 1,000 teen
women between the ages of 15 and 19. This represents a nine percent
decrease from last year’s rates.

Where was God?
By GERRY LEWIS
For some, it was date night.
For some, it was friends out
for the evening. For at least
one, it was the culmination
of the evil scheming of a demented mind. For all, it was
a tragic and violent reminder that this world is a scary
place where life can change
or end in an instant.
When I saw the TV news
reports Friday morning concerning the shooting at the
midnight showing of The
Dark Night Rises, my mind
cycled through memories of
news reports from Columbine (April 20, 1999) and
Wedgwood Baptist (September 15, 1999) and Fort Hood
(November 5, 2009).
I also knew that my son
had been at
a midnight
showing
in
Amarillo the
previous evening.
M a n y
conversaLife
tions
will
take
place
Matters
in the weeks
and months
ahead. They may be political, cynical, tense, philosophical or spiritual. None
will provide answers to the
satisfaction of everyone, and
all will be disappointing to
someone. Two questions will
form in the minds of both
believers and skeptics. “How
could this happen?” “Where
was God?”
Believers may wonder
if the God they believe in
would protect them from
such tragedy. Skeptics may
ask to reinforce their skepticism. After all, senseless
violence makes more sense
in a world where there is no
loving, all-knowing, all-powerful God.
I read a letter to the editor
recently that made precisely
that point. To briefly summarize, the writer asserted
that “Jesus loves the little
children” seems empty in a
world where thousands of
children suffer and die every day.
Due to lack of both space
and inclination, this is not a
response to someone else’s
point of view. Let me be
clear about my perspective.
I believe in an all-powerful,
all-knowing, loving God who
involves Himself personally
in the affairs of humanity.
My life has been touched
by both tragedy and blessing that I cannot begin to
understand. I choose to respond in faith and loving
submission to His love and
grace extended to me.
My question is this: “Why
do we only ask where God
is when tragedy strikes?” I
think part of our problem
is our assumption that we
deserve good things. So, the
fact that tragedy strikes or
that children suffer from illness or malnutrition is evidence that God is unaware,
unconcerned or nonexistent.
No one asks, “Why did millions of children go to sleep
well-fed and healthy to-
night?” “Why did hundreds
of thousands of people attend
and enjoy a midnight movie
on Thursday and make it
home safely?” God gets the
blame but not the credit.
I remember the first TV
interview with my friend Al
Meredith, pastor of Wedgwood Baptist Church, when
he was asked, “Where was
God?” He said, “God was
in the same place He was

Foods that create a feeling of fullness
By TANYA DAVIS
As you suspect, the connection between eating and
feeling full isn’t as simple
as most people think. Scientists are still uncovering
new information about the
mechanisms involved.
For
example,
we’ve
known for a while that
eating foods high in protein may help us feel full
more than when we eat
carbohydrates or fats. Scientists are just now figuring out why. Knowing this
provides more evidence for
the benefits of including at
least some lean protein in
every meal.
A little fat in the food
we eat also tends to help
us feel fuller after eating.
That’s one
reason why
dietitians
caution us
about blindly
choosing low-fat
Wise
versions of
Notes for foods: The
Consumers calorie difference between lowfat and “regular” foods
may not be as great as you
think, and if you don’t feel
as satisfied after eating a
low-fat food, you may end
up eating more of it. Keep
that in mind as you make
your food choices.
High-fiber
foods
are
other good choices. Fiber
passes through the body
undigested, so it provides
bulk with few calories. Opt
for naturally occurring fiber. Different types of fiber
now added to some foods
and beverages don’t have
the same satiating effect.
Samples of foods rich in
natural fiber are: any type
of bran product, beans, berries and whole grains.
Other things to consider
include:
Eat slowly. It takes
about 20 minutes for the
signals between your stomach and brain to make the
connection that you’ve eaten enough.
Stop when you feel satisfied — don’t wait until
you feel full. If you can’t
help but join the “cleanplate club” at most meals,
serve yourself smaller portions. Pause before you
serve yourself another
helping, and do an internal
check before making the
decision.
Eat breakfast. People
who eat breakfast tend to be
less likely to be overweight,
although it’s not clear why.
It could help you feel satisfied as you start the day,
making impulse eating less
likely. Good choices include
high-fiber cereals or an egg
— both will help you feel
satisfied and start your day
off right.
For information concerning foods that create
a feeling of fullness, call
Texas AgriLife Extension
Service – Wise County at
(940) 627-3341. Ohio State

Choose the right size plant for your landscape
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear
Neil: Someone
planted redtip photinias
beneath 4-foot windows in
front of our house. They’re 6
feet tall, and I’m wearing out
having to trim them. Can I
cut them back to 18 or 24
inches? If so, when?
You’re trying to crowd a
king-sized mattress into a
single bed frame. Redtips
are the wrong plant for your
job. In fact, they’re pretty
much the wrong plant for
any job right now, since they
not only grow to 20 feet tall
at maturity (too large for
most landscapes), but they
also have been hit by a fatal
and uncontrollable fungal
leaf spot (Entomosporium).
You would be far ahead to
replace them with a plant
species that only grows to 4
feet at maturity. Dwarf hollies, many nandinas, dwarf
abelias and Italian jasmine
are some of the best examples.
Dear Neil: Is it possible
to get a Mandarin orange
and a lime tree to bear fruit
if I have them in patio pots
indoors during the winter
and outside in the summer?
They are about 5 feet tall.
The Mandarin orange had
14 fruit last year, but none
this year.
It’s possible to get both
of these to bear fruit under
those circumstances, but
you’ll need to be diligent.
They really need to be outdoors in the sun as much
of the year
as possible.
Of
course,
they mustn’t
be exposed
to freezing
weather.
Gardener’s If they try
Mailbag to bloom indoors, or if
they flower
when you have little bee
activity outdoors, you won’t
see any fruit forming.
Keep them somewhat rootbound to foster reproductive
growth. If they’re growing
rapidly vegetatively, that can
come at the expense of flowers and fruit.
Dear Neil: I have several live oaks that are continuing to shed leaves. Our
county agent felt it was the
aftermath of last summer’s
drought. I have watered
faithfully. What could the
problem be?
Falling or yellowed leaves
don’t really give very good
direction to a diagnosis. They
definitely tell you that the
trees aren’t completely “happy,” but they don’t say much
more. Look for other symptoms, including any type of
trunk or root damage, galls
on the fallen leaves, etc.
Was any type of weed-andfeed fertilizer used on the
lawn around these trees?
Some amount of leaf drop is
to be expected with any tree
by mid-summer, although if
it’s more than 5 percent of
the total leaf canopy, there
must be something else in-
volved.
I’d suggest you take photos
and perhaps some branch
samples to a Texas Master
Certified Nursery Professional for specific guidance.
Dear Neil: I bought a potted Wonderful pomegranate
plant that is about 4 feet tall
a couple of weeks ago. It soon
dropped the bottom half of its
leaves. There are still green
leaves at the top. What might
have caused that?
I’d almost guarantee that
the plant got too dry at some
point right before or after
you bought it. I’ve never seen
an insect or disease bother
pomegranates, and even if
there were, they wouldn’t
attack only the lower, older
leaves. It has to be moisture.
Trim and reshape the
plant, and let it fill back in by
keeping its moisture needs
met carefully the balance of
this year.
Dear Neil: I have a Sweet
100 tomato plant that produces some of the most outstanding round cherry tomatoes – they never make it into
the house. We eat them out in
the garden. However, it also
is producing several times
more fruit that are teardropshaped. They never seem to
ripen to red. They taste good,
but nothing to compare with
the round fruit. How can one
plant have such different
fruit?
The only explanation I
could give would be that you
actually have two plants
within the same cage, grown
from seeds of two different
varieties. The pear tomatoes typically do not have
the super-sweet genes, and
it’s not uncommon for them
to have more of a pink color.
Trace the stems back to see
if they come from two separate stalks.
Dear Neil: I have a really
nice bed of caladiums. I notice they’re producing some
kind of pods that might be
flowers. Does that mean they
need more nitrogen? If they
are flowers, they don’t appear to be very attractive.
Caladiums, like dieffenbachias, aglaonemas, elephant ears, peace lilies and
philodendrons, are in the
aroid plant family, and all of
the members of that group
produce Jack-in-the-pulpit
flowers. Caladiums’ flowers
typically are not attractive,
and they should be plucked
off before they develop to
full bloom.
As for the nitrogen, it
would be better not to apply
it. It tends to create greener
foliage in caladiums. Just
keep them moist, and they’ll
go on for a couple more
months.
Have a question you’d
like Neil to consider? Mail
it to him in care of the Wise
County Messenger, P.O. Box
149, Decatur, TX 76234 or
email him at [email protected]. Neil regrets
that he cannot reply to questions individually.

What’s happening in the summer heat
By CLAIRE CURRY
It’s so hot now it seems like a
good time of year to just sit in the
shade with a glass of cold lemonade. Life goes on for all the critters and plants that live here in
the summer, though. Many insects reach their peak activities
during the summer since they require warmer temperatures to be
active.
Right now there are lots of
butterflies in the sulphur family
(Pieridae) out and about. These
include the big, lemon-yellow
Cloudless Sulphurs, the tiny,
dark-smudged Dainty Sulphurs
and the in-between-sized Little
Yellow (yellow with black wing
tips).
This is also a good time of year
to look for dragonflies and damselflies. With a bit more rain this
year than last year, there are more
of them out. Sometimes it gets too
hot even for these warmth-loving
animals, though. Some dragonflies will perch in the shade, while
others adopt a position called the
obelisk. They stick their abdomens up in the air to reduce the
surface area exposed to the sun.
The spring wildflowers are
gone, and a few summer ones are
struggling open now. Ironweed
has tops of magenta-purple flowers that are favored by butterflies. Gayfeather is another purple flower that blooms all along
its stalk. Bluebells only bloom at
this time of year, too. They have
big blue-purple flowers with yellow centers and green-gray foliage.
Lizard’s tail gaura is a tall,
gangly plant with small pink and
white flowers. I assume it gets its
name from the taillike shape of the
flower stalk. There
are lots of caterpillars on it right
now. Some small
ones that are either green or purplish-yellow with
vertical
stripes
are the larvae of
the Clouded Crimson moth (Schinia
gaurae). The adults are small
but beautiful, with pale sherbertpink and cream colors.
There are also White-lined
Sphinx moth (Hyles lineata) caterpillars on the gaura. These
are hornworms, rather like the
ones that eat everybody’s tomato
plants, except that they specialize on different host plants.
With the heat, you are likely
to see birds doing what they can
to cool off. They often pant with
their beaks open for evaporative
cooling (since they don’t sweat).
They also love a good bath, as
you are likely to see if you have a
sprinkler on your yard.
Providing water in a bird bath
or garden pond is a good way to
attract birds to your yard in the
summer (when feeders aren’t
as tempting with all the tasty
grasshoppers and other insects
to eat). We have everything from
cardinals to Painted Buntings
to cuckoos stop in our yard for a
drink.
We recently put in a new garden pond in the woods. It’s got a
happy little leopard frog that is
sitting on a log there every time
we visit. You can distinguish
these from one of our other common frogs, the cricket frog, by the
Birds
and
Beyond

two thin white lines on the back
(one on each side).
The pond was also colonized
within days by numerous small
water striders (and a few big
ones). The very first resident was
a water beetle. Although they
live only in the water, they are
strong fliers and can disperse to
new aquatic habitats easily.
Another visitor to the new pond
was a box turtle. It was swimming across the pond. As we approached it sank to the bottom
(so apparently they can control
their depth somewhat). We rescued it and set it on dry land and

it walked off. We added another
log so that any future thirsty
box turtles can climb back out on
their own.
If you find a box turtle, you
identify individuals by the patterns on their shells. This turtle
was one that we first spotted
last fall. You can also distinguish
male and female box turtles by
the color of their eyes. Males have
red eyes, and females have brown
eyes.
Despite the heat, there are still
plenty of fascinating finds in nature. Keep your eyes peeled, because you never know what you
will find.
The next monthly field trips on
the Lyndon B. Johnson National
Grasslands will be Aug. 1 and
Sept. 5. We will depart at 9 a.m.
from the Forest Service District
Office in Decatur. For more information, Mary Curry (see below)

Agricultural consultant discusses summer fertilization needs
By TODD VINEYARD
Recently, I received this
news release from the Noble Foundation concerning nitrogen fertilization
recommendations in the
hot summer months. For
those of you that have just
finished baling your second cutting, I thought this
would be beneficial to you.
Now that ammonium nitrate (34-0-0) prices have
increased and supplies are
more difficult to obtain,
anyone who needs to apply nitrogen (N) during hot
weather should evaluate
the alternatives, according
to an agricultural consultant at The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation.
“If you are in an area
where ammonium nitrate
is still available, it is still
an excellent source of nitrogen,” said James Locke,
Noble Foundation soils and
crops consultant. “Although
a 34-0-0 product may be
available, make sure that
it is actually ammonium
nitrate. There have been
many reports of urea and
ammonium sulfate or other products being blended
to make 34-0-0. If urea is
used in these blends, it has
the same volatility risk as
using straight urea. Even
if it is not available, summer fertilization is still
necessary to maintain full
productivity.”
While there are several
available alternatives to
ammonium nitrate, the
most common choices are
urea
(460-0), UAN
liquid (320-0 or 280-0)
and
ammonium
sulfate (210-0-24S).
Urea is a
dry nitrogen source
that has long been used for
fall, winter and spring application but is quickly becoming the primary choice
for summer use. Summer
applications of surfaceapplied urea are typically
avoided due to the risk of
loss to the atmosphere.
However, incorporation of
urea by at least 0.25 inches of rainfall or sprinkler
irrigation, or tillage within
three to four days of application will keep volatilization losses to a minimum,
Locke said.
“If there are no rain, irrigation or tillage opportunities, you can have up to 40
percent loss,” Locke said.
“The ideal choice is to apply the urea when rainfall
is imminent, although we
all know that can be very
difficult. One can also apply a nitrogen additive
containing NBPT to keep
the urea from converting
to ammonia.”
UAN, or liquid ureaammonium nitrate, is a
nitrogen source produced
by combining urea and ammonium nitrate. The ammonium nitrate portion retains all the advantages of
its granular form. However, the urea portion has an
equal, if not greater, risk of
volatilization than its granular form, Locke explained.
All of the procedures to limit volatilization losses from
the granular form apply
to the liquid form in UAN.
Other disadvantages of
liquid UAN include the potential for leaf burning and
difficulty in blending with
phosphorus and potassium.
Ammonium sulfate is a
dry nitrogen source that
has excellent agronomic
properties, much like ammonium nitrate. It is nonvolatile, the nitrogen is
readily plant-available, and
it is a good source of sulfur.
The primary drawback of
ammonium sulfate is the
high cost per pound of actual nitrogen. Due to its high
cost, ammonium sulfate is
used primarily in high val-
Ag
News
ue horticultural crops or ornamental settings. Ammonium sulfate has a higher
capacity to acidify soils, so
Locke recommended paying
close attention to soil pH
and liming as needed.
Locke also warned consumers to compare prices
against other sources and
read labels to fully understand what fertilizer is
being purchased. “There
are some products on the
market today that claim
to be excellent sources of
nitrogen,” Locke said. “But
I advise everyone to make
sure they look at the chemical makeup before purchasing.”

Inside the Frame
Stuck in a corner
By BRANDON EVANS
A county road north of
the tree-lined, lazy, winding waters of the West
Fork of the Trinity River
offers a place for introspection.
Arrow signs marked by
the warning and cautionary colors of sunflower
yellow and sunset orange
point haphazard from tangles of rusted barbed wire.
Our roaming photographer captured this image
last Monday. He was on
assignment to get a photo
of a pipeline project running from Boyd to Bowie.
While looking for a different angle he found a right
corner of county road by a
pasture.
A cow grazes like a relic
from the past while arrows point anywhere but
here. How do you maintain the ways of the past
while etching through our
turbulent present? We live
in the pop star economy.
Ways tried and true for
hundreds of years ditched
for new impermanence.
Every day a new idea, a
different way to provide.
The possibilities are
limitless, but what we really need might have been
right in front of us, grazing lazily, all along.
