Veterans remember
an infamous day

ACT OF WAR — Carl Fickle of
Runaway Bay was at a Fort Worth
movie theater when he learned
of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
He visited the port as a hospital
corpsman in World War II.
Enjoying a Sunday afternoon
away from Fort Worth’s Lena Pope
Home orphanage, Carl Fickle was
in line to buy a movie ticket at the
White Theater on Berry Street
when he got the news.
Kenneth Huebner was riding to
a movie in downtown Chicago in a
car with two other teenagers when
he heard.
Seventy years have passed since
the Japanese attack on the Ameri-
can naval base at Pearl Harbor
Dec. 7, 1941, that President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously declared
“a date which will live in infamy.”
Yet many among us in Wise
County — a group that includes
more than 50 living World War
II veterans such as Finkle and
Huebner — can still vividly recall hearing the news that pushed
the United States into the Second
World War and sent millions of
young Americans into combat in
Europe and the Pacific.
“They were showing a movie
downtown, and you got in with
canned goods,” recalls Huebner,
89, and a resident of Boyd for six
decades. “My cousin and a friend
and I; the three of us headed down
there. But we never did make it to
the theater.
“We had the radio going in the
car, and they mentioned Pearl
Harbor. We didn’t know what it
meant, but it sounded real serious.
DEC. 7, 1941 — Kenneth Huebner
of Boyd first heard of Pearl Harbor
via car radio en route to a movie in
Chicago. Less than a year later, he
was stationed nearby.

BIT OF WINTER — An early morning snowfall Monday left Wise County blanketed with white, creating winter scenes in places like the Wise
County Heritage Museum in Decatur. Most of the snow was melted by the afternoon as temperatures warmed into the upper 30s.
Rain arrives, then snow, then cold
By BRIAN KNOX
Wise County residents woke
up to a light blanket of snow
Monday morning, but it caused
few issues on the roadways.
Temperatures remained at
or above freezing during the
snowfall and then warmed to
the upper 30s by Monday afternoon, melting most of the
white stuff that remained.
Temperatures dipped into
the upper 20s early Tuesday
morning. Overnight temperatures Tuesday were expected
to drop to the mid 20s.
Two schools, Alvord and Chico, delayed the start of classes
for two hours Monday.
No major wrecks were reported.
The snow followed a rainy
weekend in Wise County.
Rainfall totals included 3.7
inches in Greenwood, 2.63 in
Rhome, 2.1 in Chico, 1.89 in
Decatur, 1.25 in Alvord and
1.1 in Bridgeport.
Rain early in the day Saturday caused organizers of
Decatur’s Parade of Lights
to postpone the event from
Saturday night to 6:30 p.m.
Thursday during the Decatur
Main Street Christmas on the
Square and Girls Night Out.
Other Moonlight Madness activities continued as planned.
The rain also caused Rhome
to shorten its Holiday in the
Park event last Saturday.
Originally scheduled for 10
a.m. to 5 p.m., the event was
changed to 2 to 4 p.m. at City
Hall. Despite the rain, organizers reported a strong turnout.
SLIDELL
Residents seek to save post office

They posited a list of reasons
to keep it open, including the
importance of the office to the
school district.
Irene Wilson, business man-
ager for Slidell school district,
said they depend on the local
post office.
“We have to send out certified mail a couple of times per
week,” she said “It will require
a 30-minute minimum round
trip for the school to send out
priority mail.”

Northlake police are still searching for
a fourth suspect involved in an alleged
armed robbery after tracking down three
of them, with the aid of Wise County sheriff’s deputies, in Newark last week.
Sonny D. Ruble, 32, of Rhome; Michael E.
Crites, 39, of Azle; and Jackie G. Minshew,
59, of Newark; were all arrested for alleged armed
robbery of a woman at a
hotel room in Northlake.
Minshew posted bail the
next day. As of Tuesday afternoon, Ruble and Crites
remained in Denton County
CRITES Jail under a $20,000 bond.
Investigators are not yet
releasing the name of the
fourth suspect, who might
live in the Newark area.
At approximately 1:30
p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30,
four men entered room
329 at the Sleep Inn in
MINSHEW Northlake, near the intersection of Texas 114 and
Interstate 35W.
They allegedly robbed
29-year-old Lesley A. Neumann at gunpoint. It appears all they stole was her
purse and some clothing.
They used a small, semiRUBLE automatic handgun.
The victim actually knew
the suspects and gave a description of the
vehicle they were traveling in and where
they might be headed.
Wise County sheriff’s deputies tracked
them down and apprehended three of
the men near the intersection of Farm
Roads 718 and 3433 just an hour after
the incident. The men were turned over to
Northlake police and transported to Denton County Jail.
Sgt. Bobby Dowell with the Northlake
Police Department said the victim was not
harmed in the incident.

Wise County is
WISE COUNTY
Despite less riders, Toy Run deemed a success
By ERIKA PEDROZA
The rain and cold weather may have put a damper
on the number of riders
who made the trek from
Decatur to Bridgeport in
the 12th installment of the
Wise County Toy Run Sunday.
But it did not affect their
generosity and outreach.
“We will be able to help
out as many people as we
normally do,” said Wise
County Toy Run participant
Barry Bynum. “Probably
of the 12 years that we’ve
done this, this was the lowest turnout we’ve had. We
usually run 800; this time
we had about 80.
“But we had people come
out in their cars to join us
at the Harwood Park pavilion in Bridgeport after the
run. And we have enough
money built up to do what
we’ve always done to help
people,” he said.
The Toy Run, which begins at the Decatur Middle School field house and
ends at Harwood Park in
Bridgeport, is open to all
motorcyclists for $10 or an
unwrapped toy.
At the conclusion of the
run, a chili lunch is served,
and there is an auction, Tshirt sales and a raffle.
These activities paired
with sponsorships by area
businesses comprised a
bulk of the funds for this
year’s contributions.
“It’s a community-wide
effort; you can’t name
one person,” Bynum said.
“Thanks to the fine merchants of Wise County who
make contributions, a lot of
them every year. All I have
to say is ‘It’s Toy Run time,’
and they’ll donate — items
for the auction, meat and
crackers for the chili, drinks
— without question.”
The funds raised not only
provide families in need
with shopping cards to the
grocery store and Christmas gifts for the children,
but also a scholarship for
a senior at every school in
the county.
“People have a bad impression of bikers,” Bynum
said. “But let me tell you,
these bikers have the biggest heart. If you’ve ever
stood beside the highway
to see the 800-something
cycles ride from Decatur to
Bridgeport, you’ll see that.
Until you come and witness
what it is, it’s hard to appreciate all that this event
means to all who participate. Ride for the kids —
that’s what it’s all about.”

We turned around and went home.”
American leaders had been reluctant to intervene after Germany’s
invasion of Poland in 1939 began
World War II, but the expansionism of Germany and its allies could
not be ignored after Japan’s surprise bombing left 2,388 Americans
dead, another 1,178 wounded and 21
American ships sunk or damaged at
Pearl Harbor.
“I’d never heard of Pearl Harbor,
but we found out about it at the theater before we went in,” said Fickle,
who lives in Runaway Bay.
“We had a lot of faith in Roosevelt,
and right away, he was on (the radio)
with his famous speech, calling it a
date which will live in infamy. I heard
him make that (Dec. 8, 1941) speech
live on our radio at the Home.”
Congress voted to declare war on
Japan Dec. 8, 1941, and four days
later, declared war against Japanese
allies Germany and Italy.
Growing up in Park Springs, Decatur resident Carl Mowery didn’t
have access to a radio.
“We didn’t have a car, we didn’t
have running water, we didn’t have
electricity, we didn’t take a newspaper,” he said. “It was tough. We were
still in the Depression. The way we
found out about things was to hear
things from somebody else.
“But the patriotic spirit was so
strong back then. It wasn’t like you
were sitting back badmouthing Republicans or Democrats. Patriotism
was paramount. I’d loved to have
gone to the Philippines to drive an
ambulance at 15.”
Mowery first saw Fort Worth when
he was 16 and tried to enlist in the
Navy by lying about his age and telling him he was really 17.
“They caught me,” he said, noting
it was a year later when he succeeded in joining the Navy. He served in
a bomb and mine disposal unit on
Okinawa and also aboard a minesweeper.
When the war was over, he received
two letters of thanks, one from Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal,
the other from President Harry Truman.
Alvord resident Tal Morrison, 90,
was attending the U.S. Naval Preparatory School in Long Beach when
Pearl Harbor was attacked. The son
of a Hollywood cinematographer was
not surprised by the news.

TOY RUN— Angel Martinez and Shelby Addison sort through the toys collected
from the 12th Wise County Toy Run Sunday. Because of the weather, there was a
noticeable decrease in participants, but plenty gathered for activities at Harwood

of 1939, everybody knew that, sooner
or later, we were going to get into
World War II,” he said.
A pilot in the Pacific during World
War II, Morrison said he had wanted
to join the Navy since the USS Constitution, “Old Ironsides,” visited the
West Coast, and Morrison went to
see her as part of a school field trip
when “I was about in the fourth or
fifth grade.”
Morrison’s plans, that included
enrolling at the U.S. Naval Academy
in Annapolis, Md., were altered by
Pearl Harbor.
Huebner admitted that the Pearl
Harbor attack caught him by surprise.
“We were still trying to find out
where Pearl Harbor was,” he recalled
about the hours after hearing the
news. “All we knew about the Japanese was they were the ones who
made the cheap toys.”
The Chicago native found himself
at Pearl Harbor less than a year later in connection with his duties as a
driver for high-ranking officers.
“I got there in August 1942, and
nothing had changed (from the immediate aftermath of the bombing),”
Huebner said.
“The ships were still like you see

them in the movies — over on their
side, and some were upside down. A
lot of people were over there, cutting
metal. We had to go in and out until we could find a place to dock the
ship.”
Huebner’s wartime in the Pacific
was divided between working in
communications, where he ferried
messages back and forth to commanders, and as a driver, and he
spent time both in Hawaii and on
other Pacific bases.
“I hauled pilots from the Ewa Field
base to Honolulu,” he said. “Some
of them received decorations and
thank-yous. I’d take them by station
wagon to dinner in Pearl City and to
where the clipper ships (seaplanes)
came in. They went home by clipper.
“The harbor itself was really damaged, but as you moved out toward
the city, the damage was cleaned
up. Waikiki (Beach) was all under
barbed wire,” he said.
From August 1942 until January
1943, when Fickle passed through
Pearl Harbor as a hospital corpsman on his way to Eniwetok Atoll in
the Marshall Islands, little changed
in the harbor.
“You couldn’t go through the harbor for all the (damaged) ships that

were blocking the harbor,” Fickle
said. “I was over there a year after
the attack, and it still looked like a
battleground. They kept us aboard
ship.”
The Runaway Bay resident set up
field hospitals at Eniwetok, Saipan,
Guam and Tinian. After Japan’s
surrender, he worked in a naval
hospital on Guam before being discharged from the Navy in January
1946.
“We weren’t all in the soup all of
the time. Our job really was to get
that thing (hospital) set up and then
they sent us out of there,” Fickle
said.
He worked on hospital ships ferrying wounded from field hospitals to
base hospitals and made four trips
to Okinawa “to haul patients back
to the Marianas.”
He also made several trips back
and forth to Hawaii picking up supplies and spent time at Hickam
Field, the Oahu air base that was
also a key target on Dec. 7, 1941.
In 1945, Fickle was on Tinian along with a soon-to-be-famous
bomber, the Enola Gay.
It dropped the first of two atomic
bombs unleashed on Japan on Hiroshima Aug. 6. A second bomber
called Blocks Car dropped an atomic
bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, Aug. 9.
The Japanese surrendered Aug.
14, 1945.
“The Enola Gay flew off from Tinian to drop bombs,” he said. “We
weren’t far from the airstrip, and
airmen were over with us all the
time wanting us to fly with them to
Japan (on regular bombing raids).
They wanted to have a corpsman
with them on their plane.
“When they brought the (atomic)
bomb on, we knew about it. Well, we
didn’t know all the hubbub that was
going on. We didn’t have communication then like we do now. You just
heard things however you could get
it,” Fickle explained.
However Americans heard the
news about the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, it was the call to arms that
defined the so-called “Greatest Generation” and did so much to shape
this country. An attack on U.S. soil
was not repeated during World War
II.
“The rest of the war didn’t have a
lot to do with Pearl Harbor,” Fickle
said, “but Pearl Harbor had a lot to
do with the rest of the war.”

Candidates file for March primary ballot
By BRIAN KNOX
The filing period for the
March 2012 primary ballot is nearly halfway over,
yet filings have been rather
slow locally.
However, there are already
several contested races.
Incumbent Precinct 1 Constable Tom Bishop has filed
for re-election as a Republican. He will be opposed by
former Precinct 1 Constable
Dennis Hudson, who has
switched from a Democrat
to a Republican.
In Precinct 2, Jackie Johnson and Angela Denney have
filed to run for constable as
Republicans. Denney is the
wife of current Precinct 2
Constable Leonard Denney.
In Precinct 3, current Commissioner Harry Lamance
has filed to run along with
Glenn Hughes in the Republican primary. Lamance was
elected as commissioner in
2010 in a special election
to fill the remaining term
of the late Mikel Richardson, who died in November
of 2009. Hughes was named
as interim commissioner after Richardson’s death and
served in that role before
Lamance took office.
Several more candidates
have filed but do not have
an opponent as of yet.
Republican Kevin Huffman has filed for re-election
as Precinct 4 constable.
Monte Shaw has filed for
re-election as tax assessor
collector. He is a Republican.
James Popp has filed for
Precinct 1 commissioner.
Popp will run as a Republican in 2012. He lost to
current Precinct 1 Commissioner Danny White in 2008
when he ran as a Democrat.
White has also announced
he will seek re-election but
has not filed the paperwork
with the county party chairman.
Stephen Wren has filed for
a place on the Republican
ballot for county court-atlaw No. 2 judge. The position
was created during the last
Texas legislative session,
and Wren was appointed to
serve as judge. This will be
the first chance for voters
to make a selection in the
race.
Although she has not filed
paperwork yet with the county party chairman, Marilyn
Belew has announced she
will also run for the county
court-at-law No. 2 judge position as a Republican.
Other Republican candidates who have either announced their intention
to run for election or have
filed paperwork appointing
a campaign treasurer with
the county elections office include Sheriff David Walker,
Precinct 3 Constable Doug
Parr and County Attorney
James Stainton.
An email sent to Wise
County Democratic Chairman Mark York seeking information on Democratic filings did not draw a response
by press time.
At the state level, the redistricting battle has made
things a bit interesting this
year, as some plans would
have a major effect on Wise
County.
District 30 State Sen.
Craig Estes of Wichita Falls
has filed for re-election and
has drawn Jim Herblin of
Prosper as an opponent in
the Republican primary.
District 61 State Rep. Phil
King of Weatherford has
also filed for re-election on
the Republican ballot. While
District 61 in the past has
included Wise County, the
court-ordered interim house
plan places Wise County
in District 68. If that plan
stands, then Wise County
would see the following
names on the Republican
ballot: Paul Braswell of Forestburg, Fred Skeen of Wichita Falls and Drew Springer
of Muenster. The district is
currently represented by
Rick Hardcastle of Vernon,
who is not seeking re-election.
The filing period began
Nov. 28 and continues until Dec. 15. Candidates file
paperwork and a filing fee
with their party chairman.

OPINION

Perry seems off his game in presidential race
By KRISTEN TRIBE
The cracks are widening in Gov. Rick
Perry’s shiny exterior.
The campaign for Republican presidential candidate has taken a toll on
the politician once known for his rugged good looks. In a matter of months,
he’s traded his sharp cowboy boots for
orthopedic shoes, and on occasion, I’ve
even seen a hair out of place — a sure
sign the end is near.
Although I’m not a fan of Perry, his
self-destruction came as a surprise. For
better or worse, I thought the politician from Paint Creek could pull it off,
but his recent gaffes are reminiscent
of Howard Dean’s campaign-ending
yowl in the 2004 Democratic primary.
Rick is unraveling before our eyes, and
as the campaign has crumbled, it has
given me cause to reflect on my own
“Perry experience.”
From 1998 to 2007, Perry continually
popped up along my path of writing
and reporting. This is slightly unusual
because I’m not a political reporter, I’ve
never worked for an Austin-based publication, and we attended Texas A&M
University in different decades.
It started with my first job out of college. I landed a post at The Cattleman,
a beef cattle magazine published by
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association in Fort Worth.
TSCRA hosts a convention for its
membership every spring, and
government and industry leaders are invited to speak.
I’ll admit I wasn’t particularly
politically curious until post-college, so it was during this time
frame that I first remember tuning in to Perry, even though he’d
held state office since 1985.
When I joined the magazine staff,
Perry was lieutenant governor, and he
became governor in 2000. I heard him
speak at almost every major TSCRA
event during that time until I left in
2001.
Before I quit, I had memorized the
opening to his speech. The speeches
weren’t identical, but they were a
variation of the same old schtick.
“But I stand before you today, the son
of tenant farmers and part of the first
generation of my family to attend college,” he said.
It was a poor attempt to relate to his
ranching audience, some of which still
operated under meager circumstances.
Of course, some in the crowd lapped it
up, but to me it came off as slick and
insincere. I appreciate humble beginnings, but it loses meaning when it
becomes nothing more than a turn of
phrase.
By 2002, I was back home in Wise
County and had started a stint
here at the Messenger. It was
summertime, and then-editor
Skip Nichols sent me to cover
a Perry pit stop at the Decatur
Public Library.
He blew into town touting the
TRIBE Trans Texas Corridor, a massive
alternative to interstate travel,
and a good size crowd showed up to
“meet the governor.”
Of course, I was already unimpressed
but assumed my station, notebook in
hand. The arrangement of the room
was not clear, though, and instead
of standing at the back of the crowd,
where I prefer, I was at the front, next
to Gov. Sexy Hair himself.
In the post-speech interview, he
noted my Aggie ring, like his, and attempted to discuss A&M instead of any
real issues, declaring the interview
over when the topic of education was
mentioned.
I fell into fits of laughter this week
when I looked back at that story and
read the following:
“‘You want the best economic deContinued on page 5A

Library in 2002.
YOUR VIEWS
Leaders lack moral
foundation
Mr. Kenneth McKay is indeed correct
concerning the “wall of separation” not
being mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but then again, I think he knew it all
along.
The outline of the Constitution was designed by Thomas Jefferson, who used the
expression when corresponding with the
Danbury Baptists in 1802. Anyone familiar with “The Story of Stupidity” and Edward Gibbon should also recognize George
Santayana. History is a great teacher,
along with lessons from “The Supreme
Architect of the Universe.”
Mr. McKay’s assertion is correct in that
a diverse society cannot escape religion.
George Washington’s farewell address to
the Continental Congress in 1796 expresses religion and morals as indispensable
supports to political prosperity. Character,
integrity and morals, which accompany religion, were deemed essential for the survival of our nation. Looking at our elected
leaders in Washington today, is there any
doubt why our government is failing?
I would ask how the religion of government as it exists today is consistent with
the ideology of America’s founders. Indeed,
when government becomes worshipped
as a religion, those liberties given by the
Creator are in jeopardy. I love my country
and the liberty it provides; however, I fear
the “ineptocracy” which has become my
government.

Hughes: Help clean
occupied areas
Well, Mr. Hughes, I am so glad that
you are proud of your “occupy” groups. It
doesn’t surprise me any that you would
take their side over the police trying to
restore order.
Since you have such a great sense of
pride for them, maybe you ought to go help
some of the “occupied” areas clean up the
“occupiers’” trash, feces and urine when
they leave. Then those cities will be able to
return those public areas back to the law
abiding people of the non-whining, hardworking, taxpaying, God-fearing, true 99
percenters ... the American middle class.
It would be a win-win for all if you did.
Those cities would get much needed help,
and Wise County would get a rest from
your venom-spewing, hate-filled, radical,
left wing whacko, warped sense of political
rhetoric ... for a while at least.

WISE COUNTY
Wreath laying will honor veterans
By ERIKA PEDROZA
Twenty-three of the more
than 400,000 wreaths to be
placed simultaneously in
600 places across the nation
Saturday will be set locally.
For the fifth year, the Wise
County Veterans Group has
organized a local installment of the Wreaths Across
America, beginning at 11
a.m. on Dec. 10, at the Veterans Park in Decatur.
The event includes a keynote address by Wise County Court-at-Law No. 2 Judge
Stephen Wren and the distribution of seven ceremonial wreaths representing
each branch of the military
(Army, Marines, Navy, Air
Force, Coast Guard and
Merchant Marines) and
POW/MIA.
Members of local Boy and
Girl Scout troops will place
a wreath at each of the 16
monuments in the park dedicated to various wars.
“We commemorate the
sacrifices of our veterans
and honor those still serving our country, all while
teaching kids the value of
our freedom,” said veterans
group member Drue Bruton
of Decatur, who served as a
pilot in the U.S. Air Force
during Vietnam.
The tradition began more
than 20 years ago when the
Worcester Wreath Co. in
Harrington, Maine, donated
and placed wreaths on headstones at Arlington National
Cemetery in Arlington, Va.
According to Bruton, the
seven ceremonial wreaths
placed at the Wise County
Veterans Park have been
donated. The remaining 16
have been paid for through
donations of $15 for each
wreath.
Although all have been
accounted for this year, any
additional donations will be
put toward next year’s campaign.
“Only 1 percent of Americans are in the military
service,” Bruton said. “One
percent is carrying the war
effort. They should be honored for preserving the value of our freedom, especially
during the holidays, but also
every day.”

SLIDELL
Residents seek to save post office ...
are Era, Krum, Decatur and
Forestburg.
Janice Godlewski, a regional manager with the
United States Postal Service
(USPS), said at an earlier
meeting that the Slidell post
office didn’t bring in enough
revenue to justify its continued operation, which is
why it was under review for
closure. She said it generated approximately $20,000
in revenue in 2010 and cost
$78,000 to operate. The post
office rents 130 P.O. boxes.
“I know this is a small post
office that doesn’t operate in
the black, but most of them
don’t,” Wilson said.
A study released late October by the U.S. Postal
Service recommended that
the Greenwood and Slidell
post offices be permanently
closed. The study cited a decline in office workload and
revenue for the recommendation.
At the meeting last Thursday, comment forms were
handed out. The forms must
be turned in by Dec. 26.
They are available at the
Slidell and Greenwood post
offices by request. The group
also discussed a petition to
file that includes a list of
grievances should the USPS
move forward with the closure.
Customers have a 60-day
window, through Dec. 26, to
submit comments. On Dec.
26, another decision will be
posted, and customers will
have another 30 days to appeal the decision to the Postal Regulatory Commission.
The commission must then
render a decision within 120
days. After the final decision
is made public, the post offices will remain open for at
least 60 days before shutting down.
Comments can be hand
delivered to either post office.
USPS has targeted 3,700
post offices across the nation for closing.
Wilson hopes some kind of
compromise can be made at
least.
“I understand if they have
to close one, but at least
keep one open,” she said of
the Slidell and Greenwood
offices. “Even if it is only
open half days or only one
day per week.”
“This is not a good situation for anyone,” Wilson
added, “not just for us but
for the people who work for
the post office.”
Wilson and others have
contacted several elected officials, including Congresswoman Kay Granger and
U.S. senators Kay Bailey
Hutchison and John Cornyn.
The only one who has contacted her back personally
about the issue was an aide
for Kay Granger’s office.
The meeting in Slidell
came right before the post
office announced some drastic changes over the weekend. USPS said they might
eliminate next-day delivery
service for stamped letters,
and it plans to close 252
of its 487 mail processing
centers. This would reduce

velopment tool in America, you educate a
child,’ Perry said.
He admitted that there are problems
with the school finance system that will
have to be addressed in the next two to
three years.”
Evidently, those issues were not addressed as we were witness to its failure
this year.
Five years later, I found myself in Tyler
at the Texas Rose Festival writing a feature
about the elaborate event. The ceremonies include crowning a Rose Queen and
naming her court, which is similar to the
presentation of debutantes.
As luck would have it, Perry’s daughter
was on the court that year. I arrived early
one morning before the parade to finish a
few last-minute interviews, but everything
stalled when I ran into none other — Gov.
Perry — alongside one of the floats.
As is his custom, he immediately noted
my Aggie ring and blabbed his way through
a few minutes of A&M chit chat before
handing me his point-and-shoot camera
and asking me to snap a photo of him and
his daughter.
All the while I was tempted to tell him I
voted for Kinky Friedman in the previous
election.
In the end, I chalked it up to another random encounter with Rick, and I’ve learned
to accept him at face value. I’m not convinced he’s capable of effectively running a
government, but the man can style his hair.
Despite my dislike for Perry and what he
represents, I was convinced he would win
— because he always does — and waltz
into Washington guns blazing. But his path
to the presidency has become riddled with
potholes, each seemingly deeper than the
last.
It’s been suggested that his miscues and
elementary mistakes are due to lingering
back pain, which would also explain the
shoes and slurred speech, if he’s on painkillers. Perry had spinal fusion surgery in
July, and although his camp claims he’s
operating at full speed, it’s obvious he’s off
his game.
He needs some more swing in his swagger to make up lost ground in this presidential race, but it seems that his spiral
into oblivion will land him squarely back
in the governor’s office, and not even a new
hairspray will help.

On Friday night, Ohl stole the show
again, posting a 7.10 and a first-place
finish in tie-down. Brazile snagged third
with 7.80.
Tuf was eighth with 9.30, Clint was
right on his heels at ninth with 9.40, and
Clif, who had some difficult draws the
first couple of nights, did not finish.
But Clif has started coming on strong
as the days wear on. On Saturday, Dec.
3, he tied with younger brother Tuf for
second with a 7.80. Brazile was fifth with
8.4, and Clint tied with Ohl for 11th with
9.30.
Clif continued to keep his streak of finishing in the top three alive, placing third
Sunday night with a swift 7.60. Clint was
two spots behind with 7.80. Tuf was ninth
with 8.80, tied with Ohl, and Brazile was
14th with 14.90.
Tuf entered the NFR ranked first in tie
down. He holds the lead with $168,964
in earnings. He has a wide margin over
second-ranked Ohl, who has $128,513.
Clint is solid at fifth with $104,591. Clif,
who started his run at NFR five days
ago ranked 15, has climbed to 11th with
$87,147.
Monday night, Tuf and Clint rounded
out the top five with times of 7.70 and
7.80, respectively. Ohl tied for second
with 7.50. Clif finished ninth with 8.90,
and Brazile had a disappointing run and
did not finish with a time.
“We broke the barrier in calf roping the
other night,” Brazile said.
Brazile is seventh overall in tie-down
with $103,649, and sixth overall in
team roping, ranked as a header with
$105,232.

Alvord takes over No. 1 spot
By RICHARD GREENE
The Alvord Lady Bulldogs are now the topranked team in Class 2A in two polls.
The undefeated 10-0 Lady Bulldogs moved
up to No. 1 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches and Texas Girls Coaches Association polls Monday.
Alvord was ranked No. 2 in both last week.
The Lady Bulldogs’ coach Rob Schmucker
downplayed the polls Monday.
“They mean absolutely nothing,” he said.
“We didn’t even play Friday, and we moved up
to No. 1. Not to take anything away from the
girls; they deserve it. But it’s not where you
start. It’s where you finish.”
Alvord tried to stay unbeaten Tuesday taking on Class 4A Springtown. The new top
ranking is expected to paint an even bigger
target on the Lady Bulldogs as they near the
start of District 9-2A play Dec. 16.
“That target was already there,” Schmucker
said. “We know that anyone in this district can
beat anyone. It’s a tough district.”
Alvord will start district play against the
No. 3 team in this week’s poll, Krum, who was
11-0 entering Tuesday. Krum won the Nazareth Tournament over the weekend.
Schmucker also pointed out that 9-2A rival
Nocona won the Era Tournament this weekend and that Ponder fell by two in the finals
of the Jacksboro Tournament to Muenster,
ranked No. 2 in Class A.
Along with the tough district road awaiting
the Lady Bulldogs, Schmucker also pointed
out that the two-time state champions, Brock,
are also in the region. Brock knocked Alvord
out of the playoffs last year in the region quarterfinal.
“Brock is still No. 1 until someone knocks
them off,” Schmucker said.

ROPING CROWN — On the second night of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Decatur’s Trevor Brazile secured his ninth all-round title with a victory in team roping with
partner Patrick Smith.
On Cloud Nine
Brazile ropes record ninth all-around title
Proctor of Grand Coulee, Wa., who has
$137,774.
The fact that Brazile competes in
multiple events gives him a huge advantage every year in winning the allaround title.
“Winning the steer roping championship helped a lot,” Brazile said, “but
we didn’t have a good enough second
half of the year (in tie-down and team
roping).”
And what about the possibility of
winning a third triple-crown in five
years?
“You know, I haven’t really looked at
that,” Brazile said.
By BRANDON EVANS
Decatur ropers are taking Las Vegas by storm in the National Finals
Rodeo, which runs Dec. 1 through 10
at the Thomas and Mack Center.
On the second night, Trevor Brazile and team roping partner Patrick
Smith placed first in the event with
a blazing 4.10. It solidified Brazile’s
ninth all-around cowboy world title.
“It’s off to a pretty good start in team
roping,” Brazile said. “With no lead to
protect, we’ve been able to be aggressive all week.”
On the first night Brazile and Smith
finished fifth with a 5.90.
On the third night they finished seventh with 6.00.
The fourth night Brazile and Smith
stayed consistent and finished second
with a solid 4.70. The pair finished
seventh on Monday night with a time
of 5.60.
Brazile qualified for team roping
and tie down in the NFR. A competitor must finish in the top 15 in world
rankings to qualify for an NFR event.
Brazile had already won the steer roping championship in Oklahoma last
month.
It’s helped him secure his ninth allaround cowboy world title. With total
earnings already at $305,581, he’s
uncatchable with five nights left. Second place is held by bull rider Shane
Coopers at it again
For the second year in a row, the
three Cooper brothers from Decatur
— Clint, Clif and Tuf — all qualified
for a spot at the prestigious NFR in
tie-down roping.
“I’m really proud of all of them,”
Brazile said. “All of them do a great
job at representing the sport and giving it all they have.”
Clint Cooper snagged second the
first night in tie down with a 7.70. He
finished behind the always consistent
Cody Ohl of Hico, who clocked a 7.50.
Tuf Cooper finished fifth with a 7.90,
and middle brother Clif was ninth
with 8.40. Brazile was 14th with an
18.80.
MOVING UP THE RANKS
TOUGH WEEK
ROCKING IN THE RAIN
The Alvord Lady Bulldogs moved up to the top spot
from No. 2 in this week’s Class 2A Texas Association of
Basketball Coaches poll.
Here is the rest of the Class 2A top 10.
After playing a close game with No. 8 Burkburnett last
week, the Decatur Eagles went to the DQ Invitational over
the weekend in Van.
Decatur knocked off the top-ranked team in Class A
Clarksville.
The Eagles then fell to the 15th-ranked team in Class
3A, Kennedale.
After that tough week last week, the Eagles will prepare
for another challenge this weekend at the Farm Bureau
Invitational in Decatur.
Running miles 21 through 23, Northwest senior
Troy Taylor helped the high school relay team narrowly
defeat the winner of the White Rock Marathon Sunday
in Dallas.
The relay team finished in 2:17.12.
Arlington’s V. Martinez passed the marathon winner
James Kirwa in the final mile.
Decatur’s Jason Sneed finished the 26.2 mile race in
3:45.22. Michael Smyers had the top local half marathon
time, running 1:37.23.

Masonic Lodge presents dental kits to students
All first graders at
Bridgeport Elementary and
Paradise Elementary were
recently given free prevent
tooth decay kits by members of the Bridgeport Masonic Lodge No. 587.
Joe Gilliland, a member
of the Lodge, organized the
kit distribution. Members
of the Lodge assembled and
delivered 270 kits to the
schools.
The project, called the
Fantastic Teeth Fan Club, is
a program of Masonic Children and Family Services
(MCFS) and local Masonic
Lodges to prevent children
from suffering with toothaches, reduce missed school
days due to dental problems, and cut costs for dental treatment.
Prevent tooth decay kits
contain: a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, healthy
teeth sticker, two-minute
timer (optimal brushing
time), “Tips for Healthy
Teeth At Any Age” educational flyer for parents in
both English and Spanish,
and a summary of MCFS
services and grant opportunities.

Scale insect can be a problem
By TODD VINEYARD
WISE CO. EXTENSION
AGENT
One of the most common
insects I find when making horticulture visits is the
scale insect. One of the common scale insects that we
find is the euonymous scale
that attacks many species of
indoor and outdoor plants.
Many species of scale insects damage landscape
plants, shrubs and trees.
Scale insects insert their
mouthparts into plant tissues and suck out the sap.
When scale numbers are
high, plant growth will be
stunted, leaves will develop
yellow blotches, branches
will die and some or all of the
leaves may fall off.
Although scale insects are
common, they are probably
the most misidentified of all
insect groups. Scale insects
are generally small (1/4-inch
long or less) and often mimic
various plant parts
such as bark or buds.
Other species appear
as small, white, waxy
blotches or small bits
of cotton on leaves or
stems. The one attribute of scale insects
that leads to the misidentification is that
they appear to be nonliving. Once the young
crawlers settle on a plant,
they generally don’t move
and can be overlooked.
Depending on the species, scale insects can spend
the winter as eggs, youth or
adults.
Because of their protective wax covering, most scale
insects are very difficult to
control with insecticides
once they have settled. Scale
insects are most vulnerable
to spray formulations of contact insecticides during the
crawlers stage.
Many pesticides are
available to consumers wanting to control
scale. Pesticides work
best on crawlers. For
effective control, you
may need to apply
pesticides two to four
times at five to sevenday intervals because
most pesticides work
for less than a week, but
crawlers from a single generation can hatch over several
weeks.
Regardless of the number
of applications needed, you
must cover the plant thoroughly with insecticide each
time. Cover both sides of the
leaves and all the twigs and
branches.
Dormant oils should be ap-
Ag
News
plied before spring growth
begins, when temperatures
are above 45 degrees for 24
to 48 hours. Apply summer
sprays when temps are below 90 degrees for 24 to 48
hours.
When scales are on plants
that are actively growing,
apply a systemic insecticide
such as imidacloprid around
the base of scale-infested
plants.
The following is a partial
list of approved insecticides
available for scale insect control: orthene, Azatin XL, Sevin, Di-Syston, Merit, Battle,
horticultural oil, Olympic insecticidal soap and Distance.
Read and follow instructions
on the label. For a complete
list of insecticides and more
information on scale insects,
call or come by the Extension
office and ask for publication

Now is a good time to plant trees
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: I lost a Bradford pear this year. I’d like
to replace it. How and when
should I do that?
Fall and early winter
are great times to plant
new trees. You’ll find good
supplies in nurseries, and
they’ll have half a year to
get established before next
summer. The pear will probably try to resprout from
its roots. If at all possible,
have someone grind or pull
the stump out for you. Don’t
feel like your new tree has
to go in exactly the same
location.
Dear Neil: I lost much of
my St. Augustine this past
summer. I had no chinch
bugs, at least not that I saw.
The grass that is under my
oak trees is doing well, but
in the sunny areas, I see a lot
of dead runners. I’m thinking about ripping it out and
resodding. My lawn was 30
years old. Are the new St.
Augustine varieties better
than what would have been
planted then? When should
I resod?

I’d sit tight and watch come

Dear Neil: I appreciated your reply to my photinia question. I cut successive amounts off a large
branch. As you predicted,
I did not find any green
tissue. If samples of a few
more bushes give negative
results, I’m going to remove
and replace them in the
near future. Thanks.
You’re welcome. I’m glad
that you’re willing to make
the change. I see so many

TRUE OR FALSE?
As the due date approaches, those painless and frequent “Braxton
Hicks contractions” that many women feel since mid-pregnancy may
become rhythmic, frequent, and even painful. At this point, it helps to
know that “false labor” contractions come at irregular intervals and vary
in length and intensity. True labor contractions may be irregular initially,
but eventually they come at regular and shorter intervals, become more
intense, and last longer. The contractions associated with false labor
also tend to be centered in the lower abdomen while the pain of
true-labor contractions is more likely to emanate in the lower back and
wrap around the abdomen. True labor contractions are also persistent
while Braxton Hicks contractions may subside with changes in position.
Whether you’re pregnant for the first time or are expecting the latest
addition to your family, this time in your life requires excellent care
for you and your developing baby. At our practice, we have delivered
thousands of babies and are highly experienced with all aspects of
pregnancy and delivery, from normal to high-risk. To schedule an
appointment, call WISE OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY P.A. at
940-626-8008. Our office is conveniently located at
1713 South FM 51, Suite 201, Decatur. New patients are welcome.
Look for our new location in January: 2451 S. FM 51 • Suite 300 • Decatur
P.S. False labor does not cause significant, progressive dilation of the
cervix.

range.
Dear Neil: I’m saving
pepper seeds for next spring.
As they’re drying, would
it help if I sprinkled them
with medicated foot powder
to prevent mold or mildew?
Don’t do that. There’s no
telling what effect a medical product might have on
the seeds. Letting them
dry thoroughly, then storing them in a sealed bag
or bottle in the refrigerator should be all you need
to do.
Dear Neil: I stuck some
poplar branches in the
ground after pruning my
tree last winter. To my surprise, they sprouted roots
and have grown vigorously.
When can I dig them and
replant them? Some of their
branches are bigger than
the main stem. Do I cut
these off, or just transplant
the entire thing?
If I’m understanding
your question, the rooted
“cuttings” have started to
branch. If so, you’ll probably want to remove some
of the lower branches as
you transplant them while
they’re dormant this win-
ter (January is ideal). If the
new trees are more than 2
or 3 feet tall, they may suffer a little setback from the
roots that will be lost.
Dear Neil: We have converted our vegetable garden
from the spring into a winter garden with a hoop-style
greenhouse. We’ve had ants
in the garden all season,
and baits haven’t helped.
What could we use now?
That’s a difficult question
to answer, and I really don’t
think I should attempt
it here without knowing
precisely what type of ant
is involved. Their feeding
habits, and therefore, the
controls you might use will
vary depending on species.
The fact that it’s a vegetable garden area further
complicates things. Contact
your county Extension office for help through Texas
A&M’s Entomology specialists. You may also find help
at the TAMU Entomology
website.
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 mailbag@
sperrygardens.com. Neil regrets that he cannot reply to
questions individually.

“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind
of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where
is it to be found?”
— J. B. Priestley
A cold delicate death dances like a ballerina suspended in time. Snow and ice clings
as precariously as life to passionate pink petals unfurling from forest green foliage, blood
red thorns.
Nature’s brush abstract as a blind Picasso,
as random as dice, creates beauty in contrast.
Our roaming photographer captured this
image in the yard sprawling before the antique Waggoner Mansion in Decatur. Perched
(Major Credit Cards Accepted)
on a hilltop, the tower on top overlooked the
town transformed by a dotting of snow. It
marked the first snowfall of the season in
Wise County, and a sudden sense of finality
as the kingdom of winter sprouted overnight
on the rolling prairie.
The freezing flowers mark the end of
warmth as cold and darkness grows. But it
also foreshadows nature’s renewal, the burst
of life that blooms every spring, and the magic inherent in the season’s first snow.
