By PHIL MAJOR
Decatur will be the site of
an air quality monitoring station.
The Decatur City Council
approved a request from the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Monday
to locate a monitoring site
near the Thompson Street
water tower.
Regional director Tony
Walker said TCEQ is primarily interested in obtaining
long-term continuous data,
focusing on emissions from
oil and gas drilling activity.
The site will not monitor for
non-attainment of federal
ozone standards.
TCEQ is trying to address
air quality issues in the counties of the Barnett Shale natural gas drilling operations,
FACE TIME — Ace Lloyd’s signature bullghting move involves placing his right hand on the forehead of a raging bull and maneuvering in a circle. Although
bulls are deceptively fast, they turn somewhat slow.

WISE COUNTY
County
proposes
38.3-cent
tax rate
the
bullfighter
When it comes to
dancing with bulls,
Slidell-native Ace Lloyd
knows how to put
up a fight.
By KRISTEN TRIBE
Wise County Commissioners gathered at the courthouse early Tuesday morning to discuss the county’s
tax rate.
They proposed a rate of
38.3087 cents per $100 valuation, which is the effective
rate. This is also slightly
less than the current rate of
38.87.
Precinct 2 Commissioner
Kevin Burns proposed the
rate to include 29.3087 cents
for the general fund and 9
cents for road and bridge.
Within 3 seconds and 3 yards of the chute,
Court Order, a bucking bull black as priest’s
garments, tosses a rider into the soft dirt of the
Gainesville rodeo arena.
The animal’s counterpart, professional bullfighter Ace Lloyd, dressed in all black, dashes
forward and lays his right hand between the
horns of the beast. Like a backwoods Pentecostal preacher exercising a demonic spirit, lined
up eyeball to eyeball with an unthinking, primal
force, Lloyd dances deftly to the left, drawing
away the angry bull, allowing the fallen rider
to scamper free of rear legs stomping the earth
with jackhammer force.
“We’re there to protect the bull rider,” said
Slidell native Lloyd, 27. “When the rider comes
off we use a lot of anticipation and cattle knowledge, what we call our savvy. We anticipate where he’s gonna come
off, and we position ourselves to be between him and the bull. If he
gets hung up we can jump in there and get him undone. We just
basically throw ourselves in the way of danger so he can go on to the
next rodeo.”
While bull riders garner fame, accolades and
a collection of plate-sized belt buckles, bullfighters put their lives on the line again and
again in a background role.
A bull rider only needs to hang on for 8
seconds, two times a night to make the short
go round, but a bullfighter duels up to 60 bulls
during a Professional Bull Riding (PBR) event.
“It’s a long, grueling job, but it’s fun,” Lloyd
said. “I never was any good at riding bulls. Matter of fact, it scares me. Being an athlete I trust
my legs more than I do the bulls legs. If they
come at me, I know I can maneuver and cut
around them.”
But bull rider and bullfighter have a symbiAce Lloyd
otic relationship.
“I got on a bull in Del Rio (in 2007) and it
knocked me out,” said Cody Hart, 1999 PBR World Champion. “I
thought I was dead, but Ace dragged me away by the arm. Ace is one
of the best.”
We just basically
throw ourselves in the
way of danger so he
(the bull rider) can go
on to the next rodeo.

TRAINING GROUND — Ace Lloyd helps his parents raise bucking bulls at ranches in Bolivar and Slidell. Working with the animals up close gives
him insight into bull behavior.
Continued from page 1A
“We’re tight,” Lloyd said.
“There’s a lot of good friendships out there.”
“I can guarantee you there
wouldn’t be any bull riders
without bullfighters,” Hart
said.
Playing with fire
The anxiety, tension and
danger of fighting bulls keeps
Lloyd returning to the arena.
“It’s such an adrenaline
rush,” he said. “It’s such an
anxious job. The nerves come;
you get that good feeling. It’s
the best feeling in the world.”
A couple of beers before the
show loosens limbs and calms
stiff nerves. He pulls down his
hat and tightens the shoelaces
on his Air Jordan’s. Basic protective gear, similar to hockey
gear, is all he wears beneath
a long, loose shirt. Leaning
slightly forward, hands on
knees, a silver cross dangling
in front of his chest, Lloyd
awaits each release of bull and
rider with intense attention.
But when one dances with a
beast, no matter the skill level,
violence occurs eventually. In
Lloyd’s case, it almost killed
him.
“I was going in to save a
downed rider in Del Rio, Texas,” Lloyd said. “It was my first
PBR. There was a real mean
bull. Everybody was talking
about him.”
Lloyd’s parents, Mitt and
Corrie Lloyd, both of Slidell,
were on hand. It was Mother’s
Day. They were excited to
watch their son in his very
first PBR event.
“The bull was called Hitman,” Mitt said. “He was a
mean S.O.B.”
“He cut me off, and I couldn’t
get around him,” Lloyd said. “I
had him by the ears. His horns
were hitting me in the face. It
was lights out after that.”
Both parents were leaning
on a rail just yards from the
violence. Mitt rushed into the
arena. Corrie cringed from the
sidelines. Several years later,
she still tears up thinking
about it.
“The bull and Ace met headto-head,” Corrie said. “The
horns hit and Ace fell down. It
then brought its hooves down
right on top of him. When I
saw him after, I didn’t know if
he still had a head. There was
so much blood.”
He was flown to a hospital in
San Antonio where they managed to save him.
“For Mother’s Day, I got

head trauma and a CareFlite,”
Corrie said. “It was the most
scared I’ve ever been in my
life ... I learned the meaning of
what an inch means. If it had
only been an inch more, he
would of been dead.”
The horns and hooves of Hitman shattered Lloyd’s orbital
and cheek bones, leaving half
his face metal, a rodeo Ironman. Three titanium plates
and 14 screws hold his skull
together.
“I like to tell him he has a
screw loose,” said Mitt with a
laugh.
Lloyd made a remarkable
recovery and was ready to
re-enter the arena within 27
days. But mentally, it took him

close to a year to recover from
the savage attack.
Bloodlines
Raised in Slidell, Lloyd
developed his athletic ability
racing up and down the Greyhound basketball court.
Once competing against
animals in mascot name
only, Lloyd now does regular
battle with bucking bovine
behemoths, careening creatures much more dangerous
than kids dressed in plush
costumes gesturing wildly at
courtside.
After graduating in 2001,
Lloyd earned a basketball
scholarship to Tarleton State
University in Stephenville.

basketball all day at Slidell,”
he said. “Thought I’d do it
the rest of my life, but I got a
rude awakening at the college
level.”
He quit the team after learning he’d be redshirted, but
he continued with school and
earned a degree in kinesiology.
Seven years ago, he took up
bullfighting. The bull was in
his blood. Lloyd grew up working at the Decatur sale barn.
Being a professional bullrider and roper, Mitt introduced
his son to a host of professional bullfighters at a young
age. Mitt was also one of the
original owners of Billy Bob’s
Texas.
“At 4 years old he could
name all the PBR bulls,” Mitt
said. “He was a bullfighter in a
stick horse rodeo at age 3.”
At 25, Lloyd became the
youngest bullfighter ever sanctioned in the Texas circuit.
Psychology
Dust swirls among a menagerie. Llamas look up halfinterested from grazing on
desiccated grasses as a flashing thunderhead looms rapidly
from the northwest. A peacock
leaps atop a cattle gate. Another fans its tail as wide and tall
as a small hatchback. Neon
green and purple spots light
up like a hundred alien eyes
staring at the spontaneous
storm, which seems foreign
itself in the 102-degree heat
in the high summer on the
rolling prairies of North Texas.
A horde of slightly-startled
cattle hooves shuffle through
dry, loose and scratchy earth
like a single body as the cloud
approaches.
“We need this rain,” Mitt
said. “There’s nothing in
the fields but grasshoppers.
They’ve eaten everything but
the cockleburs.”
Lloyd helps his parents raise
bucking bulls on ranches in
Slidell and Bolivar. Business
partner and family friend
Danny Keller owns the Bolivar ranch. Keller is the Gregor
Mendel of the operation — the
master of genetics and bloodlines for Rockin KL Bucking
Genetics.
“There’s no difference in
raising these and raising race
horses or cutting horses,” Mitt
said. “It’s all about bloodlines.”
Many of the bulls here are
related to Houdini, one of the
most legendary sires in recent
bull riding history. But not all
bulls raised with the proper

City looks
to avoid
tax rate
increase
By PHIL MAJOR
It looks like the city of Decatur will be able to balance
its 2010-11 budget without
a tax increase or additional
cuts in city staff or services.
The city council reviewed
the budget in a two-hour
workshop Monday and decided to take one more look
on Aug. 19 to see how to divvy up a projected $300,000
to $400,000 among cost of
living raises, new personnel
and capital projects.
The city will have bids for
employee health insurance
by then, which could result
in added expense or savings.
Finance director Brad
Burnett has budgeted a 20
percent increase, but one
percent could add or save
$7,000 to $10,000.
“It was a little bit easier
this year,” Burnett said, after
huge budget cuts last year.
“We are very tight again
with expenditures.”
Though overall expenses
are down, the budget includes no pay raises, new positions or capital projects.
There is about $300,000 in
the budget that can be applied in those areas; however
some better-than-expected
news on property values
means that number could
grow to $463,000, depending
upon where the city council
sets the property tax rate.
Last year’s rate was 64
cents per $100 valuation.
With the additional values,
a rate of just under 62 cents
would raise the same revenues. Under state law, the
city could set a rate slightly
above 65 cents without risking a tax rollback election.

GEAR UP — Hundreds of people wait in line Sunday afternoon at the Decatur Church of Christ to register for Gear Up, a school supply giveaway. The church
gave children in grades kindergarten through sixth a backpack with supplies and provided a venue for a variety of free services. Below, Joey Teague, 4, gets
a vaccination at the on-site shot clinic. His parents, Bonnie and M.G., lend moral support.
Hundreds turn out for free supplies
By BRANDON EVANS
Understanding the level of need in Wise
County, Decatur Church of Christ held a massive school supply giveaway Sunday.
“This is just a community event,” said youth
and family minister Jacob Baker. “We’re trying
to meet the basic needs of people in the community. We’re giving out backpacks with basic school supplies for students in K through
sixth.”
In addition, a team of nine hairstylists gave
free haircuts to kids. Elsewhere doctors gave
immunizations and dentists checked teeth.
A massive clothing store was also set up, giving children three outfits each to start the new
school year.
This was the second year of the event. Last
year, they only prepared for several hundred
children. They were quickly overwhelmed. This
year, they gathered enough backpacks and supplies for 1,000 young students. They cooked
3,000 hot dogs for the host of visitors.
The halls of the church bustled with as much
activity as the first day of school at a large campus.
“I think it opens the eyes of our church mem-
bers to the needs of those around us, to see the
needs of people in Wise County,” said minister
Rick Ross. “Hopefully it encourages people to
give more to WARM and other ministries in our
county.”
“This is a tough time in our economy,” Baker
said. “You’re always blown away at the need
you see when you do something like this.”
“This is what Christianity is all about, reaching out to the people,” said church elder Mike
McDowell. “This is an exciting time. Well over
half of our church membership volunteered.”
The operation took a veritable army to orchestrate. Approximately 300 volunteers helped.
“I believe our volunteers get as much benefit
out of this as the people who come in need,”
Ross said.

genetics become PBR and
PRCA caliber bucking bulls.
“They can be the perfect
size and have the right
genetics, but it’s all right
here,” Mitt said pointing to
his chest. “It’s all right here
in their heart.”
Spending time with the
bulls at the ranches gives
Lloyd insight into their
behavior.
“Every day that I’m
out with the bulls I study
them,” Lloyd said. “I study
their movements and patterns and attitudes ... A lot
of bulls have the same patterns that they go through.
Sometimes they go left and
spin or they go right, and
sometimes they scatter out
a little bit. Everyday they
try and do something a
little different.”
Despite the conditioning, experience and regular
interaction with the next
generation of bucking bulls,
a good bullfighter never
gets too comfortable with
the job.
“I’m nervous as all get
out,” Lloyd said. “When I
stop getting nervous I’ll
probably stop doing it. That
means something’s not
right.”
Despite the heritage and
natural athletic ability, for
Ace Lloyd, it’s all in his
heart.

OPINION
OUR VIEWS
Enjoying the lighter side of scanner duty
By KRISTEN TRIBE
Listening to the scanner is one
of the most dreaded duties at the
Messenger.
The newsroom has a love/hate
relationship with the static-infused transmissions, though.
Although tragedies, first broadcast on the scanner, sometimes
shape our front page, these are
not things in which we take
delight. Despite the assumptions of many, these events make
our stomachs churn and chests
tighten.
The medical and fire department scanner tones cause pause,
sometimes a sharp intake of
breath … and other times, hys-
terical laughter, a welcome break
from wrecks and wildfires.
For every serious call, there
are probably 20 nonsensical calls,
some of which we hear on the
scanner, and others that we read
about in the police blotter.
Maybe it’s the delirium of a
press day that makes the mental
image of a herd of miniature horses having escaped their pasture so
funny. Or maybe it’s a demented
sense of humor that causes one to
crack up when someone calls 911
because their mailbox has exploded at the hands of a scheming
neighbor.
At-home scanner listeners, and
even a few dispatchers, would
probably agree - it’s more enter-
taining than TV. A guilty pleasure.
It’s like rural TMZ, a tabloid
television show that features the
fodder of celebrities, except these
are our neighbors.
A caller recently dialed 911 because there was a dragonfly in her
house. She needed help getting it
out.
According to a recent crime report in our paper, a parent called
911 because a child was “naked
and screaming in the backyard.”
Apparently, the child had been
swimming and “just started
throwing a fit.”
And this required police force?
During the heavy, winter snowfall, a woman reported that her
neighbors added male genitalia to
her snowman.
Disturbing (and funny), yes.
Emergency? No.
The snow apparently also had
some drivers confused. One man
called the sheriff’s department to
say that someone had painted all
the street signs white … and then
called back to apologize when he
realized they were, in fact, covered
in snow.
A man called in to report that
his girlfriend wouldn’t leave him
alone. If being alone was his objective, why the “girlfriend?”
Just a thought.
And although we haven’t been
privy to these conversations, Wise
County dispatchers tell us kids
often call 911 just to “talk” when
their parents are sleeping or
outside. They like to call and talk
about their pets and sometimes
tell stories on their parents about
how their mom can’t cook or their
dad won’t mow the yard.
These are the calls that unravel
the knots in our stomach, dissolve
tension and otherwise, provide a
little comic relief in the midst of a
stressful day.
Our newest reporter has already recognized the entertainment factor of the scanner and
has been prone to bouts of laughter in her first two weeks.
It’s been a reminder to laugh
when you can and enjoy stories
that seem silly because eventually, tragedy will follow.

Questions
still loom
The city of Newark held a budget meeting this
past Thursday night. We were allowed to view actual
figures in black and white of our city’s finances vs.
the budget (which is defined as estimate of costs,
revenues and resources over a specified period.) I
learned from the paperwork that was handed out
that the city of Newark’s finances are just fine. The
city council seemed very pleased with it, and Laura
Pixler, our mayor pro tem, was quoted as saying, “We
are $30,000 in the good as a cushion.”
Apparently the big hoopla that started months ago
about the city being over $100 grand in the hole was
just that. So why did we have to lose our court clerk,
Amy Cromer? Something just doesn’t smell right.
Now mind you, we still have not seen the actual
bank records for the last year because I am not willing to pay over $800 for something most cities provide for free. After all, that is our money.
Katrina Ellis
Newark
Self-absorption
is liberal conditioning
The disappointment felt by the writer, whose
mother was in obvious distress over the loss of her
pet, has to look at the bigger picture.
In a society that teaches “stranger danger” and to
not stop and help, it’s no surprise she found herself
in such a situation. When law enforcement’s work
is thrown out by liberal courts and the “bad” people
keep getting put back on the streets, then this is
where we find ourselves having to teach young
children to not reach out. We should never take for
granted that our judges, local, state or federal, apply common sense and adhere to the Constitution,
strictly.
Our schools should have our complete support for
education to the highest level. Not merely spending
on the next “big thing,” but enabling our teachers
to do what they do best. Place the discipline back
in the schools so that they can perform. The kids’
educational process will accelerate and performance
will increase. All of the new age teaching techniques
have proved to only be folly. Kids may learn at a
faster pace these days, but to what end? Re-introduce
vocational and technical training in a big way. Look
around, that’s where the next job explosion is going
to happen.
The idea that all politics are local is true in every
other sense as well. Local people helping local people.
When you get involved, it makes a difference.
Stop and help – you’ll find that you are the one that
really needed it.

NORTHWEST
Health class won’t be required course
By MANDY BOURGEOIS
Health education will remain
an option rather than a requirement for Northwest and Byron
Nelson High School students.
The Northwest school board
narrowly defeated a motion to
make the course a requirement at
Monday’s board meeting.
Jeannette Leong made the
motion to approve the Student
Health Advisory Committee’s
(SHAC) recommendation to make
health a required course for high
school students, and Davis Palmer seconded the motion. Palmer,
Leong and Daryl Laney voted for
the motion, while board president
Mark Schluter, Mel Fuller, Josh
Wright and Devonna Holland dissented.
The board has heard discussion
on the item several times, with
the SHAC bringing forth a recommendation to require the class at
the April 12 meeting.
Health education was dropped
as a state-required course in the
last legislative session and schools
across the state, including Northwest, made it an elective during
the 2009-2010 school year.
Northwest offers the course to
students in eighth-12th grades.
District staff gathered information on how health is integrated
into curriculum at all levels, and
presented the information to the
board at a June meeting. Assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction Edward Chevallier recommended that health
remain an option rather than a
requirement. Chevallier said that
the district presents health topics in elementary and secondary
levels and said the district could
further root the topics in curriculum.
Fuller said that health information should be presented to students multiple times well before
eighth grade.
“It’s better than a one-hit wonder in eighth or ninth grade. I
think that’s too late,” Fuller said.
Wright said that as a student,
he would rather have had the option.
“I was at Northwest High School
six years ago. I keep thinking,
what would I want as a student?”
he said. “I like the option.”
Leong said that her perception
was that the SHAC was not in the
discussion to make health an elective before the 2009-2010 school
year. Leong said she wished the
committee had been consulted before the decision was made.

REGIONAL
City looks to avoid tax rate increase ...
City manager Brett Shannon said he doubts a 65-cent
rate would be adopted but
asked the council to set that
as the upper limit.
Once a rate has been proposed, a city can set a lower
rate but cannot go higher.
The final decision will be
made Sept. 13 following public hearings Aug. 23 and Aug.
30.
Those hearings will be
advertised as tax increase
hearings, since the city will
generate additional revenues
even if the rate remains the
same or slightly lower.
“These are still challenging times,” Shannon said.
“This is a budget that would
provide for essential services
with no furlough days or layoffs.”
The challenge will be picking and choosing among
capital and personnel requests and deciding whether city staff will get a raise.
Each one percent raise adds
$57,489 to the budget.
Among personnel requests
were a part-time person to
help keep the visitors center
open, six firemen to give the
department four paid per-
sonnel per shift, vacant positions in the planning department for a mapping analyst
and a building inspector and
two persons to help public
works with cemetery maintenance.
Capital requests include
three new police vehicles.
None were purchased last
year.
City engineer Earl Smith
said there were no street
projects this year, and there
will not be any big projects
coming out of public works
next year. There is money for
a small utility project and
small street project.
There is also nothing budgeted for major repairs, he
said.
A 2.5 percent increase in
electricity costs is adding
$500,000 to the public works
budget for water and sewer
plant operations and street
lights, Smith said.
Fire chief Mike Richardson
said all the capital projects
for the fire department can
be pushed back a year.
The planning department
needs repairs for a leaking
roof, and the civic center requested new carpet, as well
as a full-sized grease trap.

Station will check air quality ...
Walker said. It hopes to have the monitor in place by the end of summer.
The agreement allows TCEQ to operate the station for five years, with a provision for an extension.
“We are lacking in continuous data for
a long period,” Walker said. That information will help TCEQ to better analyze health impacts, including toxins in
addition to those related to oil and gas
activity.
The council was concerned about a
plan that was thwarted in 2008 to include Wise County in the federal nonattainment area in and around the
Metroplex for violating federal ozone
standards.
Walker said that would require separate equipment, and there are no plans
to monitor ozone levels at this point.
In other action, the council accepted a
gift of property from Rachel and Rhonda
Walker. It was the home of their late
mother, Betty Walker, and is adjacent to
Louida Willis Park, at 502 N. Arthur.
Walker was killed in her home in 2005,
and her assailant is still awaiting trial.
The daughters requested that the
land be used to expand the park, once
the house is razed. Suggestions include
a basketball court and additional parking.

Dragons tune up for year
York provides spark in live action
By RICHARD GREENE
Sophomore quarterback Hunter
York put an exclamation mark to
the Chico Dragons’ live scrimmage
Saturday morning at Dragon Stadium.
York put the ball perfectly on the
mark for a breakaway touchdown
on the morning’s final play.
“Hunter’s a young kid, but he’s
going to be a great quarterback,”
said Chico coach Stephen Carter.
The live scrimmage completed
the first week of practice for Carter and his new squad.
“I’m pleased with the kids and
how they responded to what we’ve
asked of them,” Carter said. “We’ve
been preaching fundamentals and
discipline. We’re way ahead of
where I thought we’d be.”
York is one of six sophomores
breaking in with the Dragons.
“I was a little nervous to have so
many sophomores, but on the Class
A level you play the best kids,”
Carter said. “They’ll be ready for
the challenge.”
During the scrimmage, the
Dragons’ offense showed versatility with junior tailback Victor
Velazquez breaking free on several
runs and York completing passes.
“We’re doing a good job getting
ready for the season,” Velazquez
said. “This week went good. Everyone is excited about practicing,
and we’re executing right.”
York said he is getting used to
the offense and running the team.
“I’m pretty comfortable,” he said.
“I threw the ball all right. I still
have a couple things that I need to
work on.
“We should be able to mix it up
a lot.”
Both Valezquez and York are enjoying the opportunity to work behind a big, talented offensive line
led by Alex Delgado, Sabian Williams and Israel Espinoza.
“They do a good job blocking,”
Valazquez said. “They are going
to open some big holes for us this
season.”
Chico will line up for its first
action against another opponent
Saturday at 9 a.m. at Paradise.

I-35 CORRIDOR SEGMENT
COMMITTEE 1
NOTICE OF PUBLIC
WORKSHOPS
LONG-TERM PLANNING FOR
TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENTS ALONG
THE I-35 CORRIDOR IN
NORTH TEXAS
During the month of September
2010, the I-35 Corridor Segment
Committee 1 (CSC 1) will host a series of public planning workshops in
North Texas. The purpose of the
workshops is to present to and
gather feedback from the public on
the
Committee's
proposed
long-range transportation solutions
for the I-35 Corridor.
CSC 1 is one of four committees
established by the Texas Transportation Commission in March 2009 to
develop a needs-based citizens-directed plan for the I-35 Corridor.
These committees are comprised of
representatives from local cities,
counties, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and community organizations. Over the last year, the
committees have identified goals,
needs, and potential solutions in
their respective segments, and have
reviewed traffic modeling analyses
to determine the effectiveness of
each proposed solution. They have
used this information to develop
draft I-35 Corridor Segment Plans
that reflect the unique transportation
needs and planning approaches
within their respective areas.
All interested citizens are encouraged to attend a public workshop to
discuss the draft plan, ask questions, and express their views to the
CSC 1 members. The draft plan for
Segment 1 proposes roadway and
rail solutions within the geographic
area including and north of I-30 in
the D/FW area to the Texas/Oklahoma border in Cooke and Grayson
counties. Because of the overlapping transportation networks and issues in the D/FW area, the draft
plan for Segment 2, which covers
the area including and south of I-30
to the Bell/Williamson county line,
will also be available for public review at the Segment 1 workshops.
Surveys and comment forms will
be available and accepted at the
public workshops, as well as
through the MY 35 website
( www.MY35.org). Written com ments and surveys may also be
mailed to Mr. Ed Pensock, Texas
Department of Transportation, P.O.
Box 14707, Austin, Texas, 78761.
Website and/or mailed comments
must be submitted by October 6,
2010, 2010.
In Segment 1, workshops will be
held from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the
following locations:

other workshops to be held in Central and South Texas is available at
www.MY35.org.
Persons who plan to attend a
workshop and have special communication or accommodation needs
are encouraged to call (866)

Boyd takes step forward Lady Panthers
rebuild roster
Lady ’Jackets
start second
season
By RICHARD GREENE
Replacing nearly the entire roster, the Paradise
Lady Panthers expected it
to take a while for the team
to come together.
Over two days of action in
scrimmages Friday and Saturday, Paradise coach Susie
Burt started to see the team
take shape.
“I saw a lot of good things
and spurts where we were
great,” Burt said. “But we’re
young and inconsistent.
We’re still learning what
to do. By the time district
comes around, we should be
there.”
Courtney Andrews entered the season as the
Lady Panthers’ lone returning player from a team that
advanced to the third round
of the playoffs. In the scrimmage, Andrews proved to be
Paradise’s most consistent
hitter and dangerous with

The Boyd Lady Yellowjackets showed the giant
leaps they’ve taken in only
one year Saturday in their
opening scrimmages in Paradise.
The Lady Yellowjackets,
who are starting their second varsity season, were on
the floor most of the day in
scrimmages with Paradise,
Aubrey, Argyle and Holliday.
Boyd coach Misty Shepard
said she saw a lot of positives in the outing.
“We’re
stronger
than
last year,” the coach said.
“We were able to run some
set plays. We’re a scrappy
bunch.”
The Lady Yellowjackets showed some offensive
punch with Allie Voiselle
setting Sarah Sanders.
“Sarah
played
well,”
Shepard said. “We’re trying
to work in a lot more hits.”
Boyd struggled at times
serving during the day.
Shepard expects that to
improve with time on the
court.
The Lady Yellowjackets
were to start the season
against Keene Tuesday.
“We played them close
last year,” Shepard said. “We
hope to come out with our
first win Tuesday.”
her jump serve.
“She’s been working on
the jump serve, and it’s getting better,” Burt said. “Her
hitting is a lot better. If we
can get her a set, she can hit
the ball.”
Freshman Makenna Burt
took over the setting. Her
coach said she is adjusting
to the speed of the varsity
game.
Overall, coach Burt said
the team is learning to play
together — and that takes
time.
“They continue to come
together,” she said. “We’re
trusting each other more
and learning where we need
to be.”
The Lady Panthers were
to open the season Tuesday
against Bridgeport.
“After seeing them Friday,
we have a chance to play
with them,” Burt said. “We
need to make them hit the
ball.”

a lot coming back from a real solid
team. It’s expected to be a big year
for them.”
The Bulldogs will bring in big offensive and defensive fronts. The big
defensive line will show the progress
of the five new starters along the Yellowjackets’ offensive front.
“We’ll be able to see if we can get
people blocked,” Cartwright said.
“It’ll be a good test for us to see how
we protect facing guys quite a bit bigger than us.”
Behind that offensive line, junior
quarterback Jared Cate will get his
first taste of varsity action. Cartwright said Cate has met all challenges so far, including leading the
Yellowjackets to the state 7-on-7
tournament.
“He’s got a lot of poise and has
showed that all the way up,” Cartwright said. “But this will be his first
varsity experience, and things get
ratcheted up some.”
Several other players will get their
first taste of varsity action.
“Anywhere we have newcomers,
we’ll be watching them closely,” Cartwright said.
The veteran coach’s main goal in
the scrimmage is to come out of it
healthy.
“Our primary goal, and it makes a
successful scrimmage, if no one gets
hurt,” Cartwright said. “This is the
first real contact. Even though there
are collisions in practice, it is not like
a live scrimmage.”
By RICHARD GREENE
The Decatur Lady Eagles
put on an impressive show in
their first action of the 2010
preseason Friday afternoon,
taking two games from Graham and two out of three from
Brownwood in a three-team
scrimmage in Graham.
“It was a good way to start,”
said Decatur coach Claire
Rose. “Our blocking and serving both looked good. We still
have some things to work on.
We have to be better decision
makers.
“But we’re right where we
need to be and where I expected. There’s a lot of potential.
We have a lot of kids that can
do a lot of different things.”
The Lady Eagles were tested against Brownwood, dropping the first game. Decatur
rallied to win the next two
games.
“We’re willing to fight,” said
Decatur libero Lynzee Jordan. “We don’t like losing and
are going to push through to
win.”
Rose added: “They showed a
lot of character. I didn’t call a
timeout to readjust. I wanted
to see some leaders step up.”
Returning starters Sara
Oxford and Kortney Tompkins led the charge offensively. Rose said setter Joey
Redwine played solidly with
Ingrid Boatman also helping
in spurts.
Defensively after a brief lull
against Brownwood, the Lady
Eagles played tough. Jordan
expects the defense to only
get better.
“We played good,” she said.
“We need to trust each other.”

capable of.
“The offense is going to be a lot better than
last year,” he said. “Tonight we were very good,
and we really just ran our basic stuff.”
The Decatur first-team defense allowed a
touchdown on its set. Story said the group was
working at a disadvantage because it was not
allowed to hit the quarterback.
“Defensively, we were a little gun-shy with
the quarterbacks,” the Decatur coach said.
“We saw a lot a good things defensively. They
played physical up front.”
Story said they would not be holding back
defensively Saturday at 9 a.m. at Kennedale.

each had one.
Annelise Carpenter led the team

“We played together,” said Decatur coach Claire Rose. “Sara and
Kortni Robinson played great.
Kortney Tompkins played consistent. Delka stepped up on the back
row. Annelise blocked great.”
Against Rider, Rose said the
team had a hard time getting going.
“Joey played great,” Rose said.
The Lady Eagles dropped the

New offensive
line gets big test
By RICHARD GREENE
Last November, the Boyd Yellowjackets knocked off the Millsap
Bulldogs to preserve their perfect
run through District 9-2A.
The Yellowjackets will see those
same Bulldogs Saturday in a
scrimmage as they prepare for the
2010 campaign. The two teams will
trade 15 plays each with their top
two offensive and defensive units.
The squads will have a third set of
10 or 15 plays for their first-team
groups.
Boyd coach J.G. Cartwright said
Millsap will provide a great measuring stick for his team’s preparation.
“Millsap will be a real test for
us,” Cartwright said. “They have

Eagles offense takes flight
Quinn sets tone
with early score
By RICHARD GREENE
Dillon Quinn provided fireworks on the opening play of the Decatur Eagles’ Blue/White
Scrimmage Saturday night.
Quinn caught a pass from quarterback Garrett Muehlstein in space and sprinted past the
defense for the 70-yard score.
“It was great,” said the senior receiver. “As
soon as I caught it, all I could think was to
run.”
Quinn’s opening score was only the beginning
of an impressive show by the Decatur offense
in the live scrimmage at the high school practice field. The Eagles’ first-team offense scored
four times in its first set of 20 plays. Two more
touchdowns were scored in the final set of plays
with a majority of the first-team offense against
the top defensive unit.
“The starting offense looked good and executed,” said coach Kyle Story. “We saw a lot of good
things. Garrett and [Tyler] Hodges threw the
ball well when they were in there. The receivers
ran the good routes, and our offensive line did a
good job of blocking up front.”
Muehlstein started at quarterback for the
Eagles and connected on all five of his pass attempts in the first set. He finished the night
8-for-12 for 237 yards and a score. Muehlstein
also ran for three scores.
Hodges completed five of his 11 attempts
through the air. He ran for three scores.
Quinn led the Decatur receivers with four receptions of 25 yards or more.
“He’s got the ability to be explosive and get
down the field,” Story said.
Quinn said the offense showed what they are

BENEFITS FROM
KEGEL EXERCISES
Kegel exercises (developed by Dr. Arnold Kegel in the 1940s) consist
of repeatedly tightening and releasing the muscles of the pelvic floor
in order to strengthen them. Doing so helps women regain bladder
control after birth and menopause. To understand how Kegel exercises
are so beneficial, it helps to know that the pelvic floor muscles, which
support the bladder and bowel, help women urinate, move their bowels,
and have intercourse. The muscles become weaker after childbirth and
as women get older. Thus, Kegel exercises are recommended for the
treatment of stress incontinence and urge incontinence. While experts
are not quite sure how the exercises help sexual function, they are
thought to increase sense of control and awareness of sexual response.
Incontinence in women of all ages is not uncommon. If you’re
experiencing leakage, which may be a symptom of a more serious
nature, call our office, we are here to help. For further information about
anything discussed in today’s column, Call WISE OBSTETRICS &
GYNECOLOGY P.A. at 940-626-8008. Our office is conveniently
located at 1713 South FM 51, Ste. 201, Decatur. New patients are
welcome.
P.S. A 2009 Cochrane review concluded that, among women having
their first baby, Kegel exercises could help prevent incontinence in late
pregnancy and after birth.

Reaching the summit of solitude
By SMATT

Hike
“I am 20 miles or more from the
nearest fellow human, but instead of
loneliness I feel loveliness.” — Edward
Abbey, Desert Solitaire
A friend recently asked me how
I’ve handled the solitude of my long
walk around Texas. Like the land it-
self, my time alone has had a changing topography, and no single answer
encompasses the whole of my experience. Nonetheless, I shall attempt to
do the question some kind of justice,
if for no other reason than to honor
those semi-quiet moments from dusk
‘til dawn when our civilized world reduces itself to a modest hum and sur-
renders the floor to nature’s conversation.
I have learned to enjoy being by
myself, welcoming chance conversations where they might be found, but
I wasn’t always so comfortable. The
beginning of this trip was a misery.
Those early days and weeks came attached with a profound societal rejec-
tion of my station. I was a bum, a pariah, someone to avoid. Though I put
on my best face in interactions, I saw
the fear in people’s eyes, the anxiety
in their movements, the open disdain,
the pity.
Though this was far from a universal reaction, I hadn’t anticipated its

Getting the pink out
that one trunk and its root
system. It’s better to have an
odd number of trunks (3 or
5) with multi-trunked plants
anyway. Odd numbers are
more visually restful.
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: We added a Natchez crape
myrtle to our landscape this spring, and
it’s doing very well. However, when it
blooms, one of its four trunks has pink
flowers. How does that happen? What can
we do to get the pink out?
That’s not uncommon. Crape myrtles
are grown from cuttings. To get the
clump-form look more quickly, growers
will stick several cuttings into each pot,
and one of the cuttings with your plant
was from a pink variety. It’s simple human error, and the easiest way to eliminate the problem is to cut and remove
(bags) waiting for next spring,
so the cycle can begin all over
again. Pick off the bags if you
wish. Make note to watch for
them mid-May into mid-June
each year, and treat with a
general-purpose
insecticide
at first evidence of activity.
At this point, apply a quality,
all-nitrogen fertilizer to the
plants, and water it in deeply.
Dear Neil: What can be
done for cedar and cypress
trees that have been overtaken
by bagworms?
I’ve never seen an outbreak
like we’ve encountered this
year. Of course, their feeding
was finished a month or two
ago, and they’re now inside the cocoons

CROSSWORD SOLUTION
Crickets invade Wise County
By GARY CLAYTON
Wise Co. Extension Agent
For whatever reason, conditions
seem to be favorable for cricket populations. Many of them have reached
the flying stage, thus the large numbers gathering at well-lit outdoor areas. Thousands of the creatures can be
seen in the pre-dawn hours mingling
around the well-lit parking lot at Decatur High School. While crickets basically live in fields and landscapes,
they usually end up invading homes
and businesses where they can damage natural and synthetic fabrics and
carpets.
Crickets feed mostly on organic
matter, but will eat young seedlings
such as winter wheat. They usually
cause little damage; they are more of
a nuisance.
This time of year they develop wings,
become able to fly and are highly attracted to lights. That is why we see
them at lighted businesses,
street lights and near exterior home lights.
Sevin and Tempo are two
of the safest and most effective insecticides to use
on crickets. More than one
application may be needed
between now and frost. It is
also advisable to remove the
dead crickets since they can
cause an odor.
Crickets do have a positive
side, they make excellent
bait for sunfish, bluegill and catfish.

ing. A lot of the tree’s leaves
have brown spots on them,
as do many of the other trees
in our neighborhood. Others’
trees have also died. I don’t
want to lose ours. What can I
do?
There is a fungal leaf spot
that attacks fruitless mulberries of all ages, and spraying it
with a labeled fungicide might
help – for a while. However,
the bad news is that the reason the neighborhood’s trees
are starting to die away is because the average life expectancy for a fruitless mulberry
is probably 20-25 years. Some
will live longer than that, but
many will die at ages 10 or 15.
It’s the nature of all species of
fast-growing shade trees.
Borers sometimes move
into the weakened trees, and
gardeners may be fooled into
thinking they are the original
cause. Old age and weak wood
get the credit. As hard as it is
to do, you probably should invest in a better replacement
tree, instead of spending
Dear Neil: I moved two
years ago, and I took my three
hydrangea bushes with me.
Since then, they have just sat
there, not growing an inch.
How can I get them growing
and blooming again?
That’s not much to go on, but
let’s start with the possibility
that the move alone may have
set them back badly. The only
good time to dig and move an
established shrubby plant, including hydrangeas, is during
the winter. If you transplanted them at any other season,
that would explain all the
problems.
Hydrangeas must have
shade from mid-morning on,
and they require moist, highly
organic soils. You can fertilize
them in early summer with
a high-nitrogen food, but not
after that. Any pruning you
do to them, should they ever
grow and require it again,
should be done immediately
after the flowering season.
Dear Neil: I have a Shu-
mard red oak that is now
about six years old and 8 feet
tall. It has no central leader,
but it has three branches evenly spaced around the trunk.
They reach upward at 60-degree angles, and they all originate at 5 feet from the ground.
Should I choose one, and try
to pull it into being the central
leader, or let the tree proceed
on its own growth form? It has
nice fall color, and I’d like to
save it.
I would definitely not recommend removing two of the
branches and trying to get
the third to become vertical.
Beyond that, it’s really difficult to know how to advise
you. Consider waiting until
winter, then taking photos of
the tree once it’s bare, so that
you can see all of the branches and how they relate to one
another. Take the photos to a
veteran tree person or a Certified Nursery Professional and
ask them to mark, right on
your photo, where you should
make the cuts (if any).
It’s conceivable that you
might remove all three
branches back to the trunk,
encourage new shoots to develop, then choose the most
vertical and vigorous of those
to be the new leader. There
would be a hitch in trunk size
between the old trunk and
the new shoot, but that would
be absorbed, over the ensuing
three or four years, into the
overall trunk size. That option
would be the most drastic. Let
a pro look at your exact tree
to figure the best approach. It
might be better just to let it
grow and train the new twigs
and branches to keep it filledin an attractively shaped.

COMMUNITY FOCUS
Cowboy Church
building new home
The Wise County Cowboy Church has purchased
30 acres of land in Decatur
and will break ground for a
church building and rodeo
arena soon. For the past
three years the group has
met at the Decatur Livestock
Market.
“We enjoy and appreciate
worshipping at the Decatur
Livestock Market and occasionally hearing the cattle
outside mooing along with
us,” said Doug Moreland, pastor. “We look forward to having our own church building
before too long, and we hope
that everyone who has come
to the Decatur Livestock
Market on Sunday mornings
or driven by and thought
about stopping will come on
over to our new home.”
The church’s new location
will be 2070 Old Denton
Road in Decatur.
The church family is working together putting up new
fence, pulling cactus and
preparing the land for construction.
For more information
about the Wise County Cowboy Church and to see pictures of the work at the new
site, visit www.wisecountycowboychurch.com.

a
everyday occurrence and was forcibly
ushered into a kind of solitude I hadn’t
been prepared to handle. Coupled with
my own insecurities about life and the
immensity of my hiking goal, I’d never
felt more needy and alone.
Solitude isn’t meant to be like this.
While it can lend itself to loneliness,
over-reflection or boredom, its allure
lies in its tranquility and equilibrium.
I started my trek wildly off balance,
but as my experience and confidence
have grown, I’ve come to accept my
time alone. I also attribute some of
this stability to the countless supportive and nice people I’ve met along the
way as well as my puppy, Raisin, who
licks me several times a day.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the
chance to walk more than 120 miles in
Big Bend National Park. The summers
are scorchers in West Texas, and some
points in the south of the park regularly reach temperatures above 110
degrees Fahrenheit. Because of the
heat, the park’s attendance is sparse,
and we had the place to ourselves.
However, Raisin couldn’t accompany
me on any hiking trails, so I temporarily turned her over to a dogsitter.
I was alone again.
The Chihuahuan Desert, a sandy,
cactus-filled and usually dry area, is
not the best place to experiment with
the merits of solitude. It regularly
humbles the strongest of athletes, and
a simple bad decision can be a traveler’s undoing. Like many a nimrod before me, I charged into the wilderness,
aware of the dangers but unconcerned,
like that stuff couldn’t possibly happen to me.
And it didn’t. But I paid a price
nonetheless.
I drank water from mud puddles.
I crossed a high trail near Mariscal
Canyon and ended up getting blown
into a cactus. I attempted to hike 40

Seadrift
miles in a day, and several times nearly wobbled off the trail due to fatigue.
I disturbed a mean-looking rattlesnake and shortly thereafter intruded
upon a couple of bears scrounging for
dinner.
On the fourth day, I sat high up on
the South Rim of the Chisos Moun-
tains and looked across the land. It was
still morning, cool and crisp at 7,000
feet, the trees lending a fragrance not
found in the desert below. In the distance I saw my starting point and followed the sandy, dusty contours from
west to east, then northwest to where
I was sitting.
I hadn’t seen a soul in three days,
but I didn’t feel alone. I didn’t even
consider my solitude. I was only aware
of my immediate world – birds chirping, a light breeze, the sweet air, calm
– and that I was there in it, feet dangling in the loveliness.
