Plane crash injures 2

SERIOUS CRASH — Two Tarrant County men were left severely injured
after their plane crashed in south Wise County Sunday morning. Both
are in critical condition as of Tuesday.
NEWARK
Two Tarrant County men were
severely injured in a plane crash in
south Wise County Sunday morning.
Dennis Gartman, 39, of North
Richland Hills, and Jerry Baker,
63, of Fort Worth were in critical
condition Tuesday morning.
The two-passenger plane crashed
at about 8:45 p.m. near homes on
Private Road 4810 near Keeter.
Dusty Lamance was working in
his front yard when the crash occurred.
“It sounded like someone ran
into my house with a car,” he said.
While he didn’t see the crash, he
noticed his horses looking in the
direction of the woods in front of
his property, and he ran in that direction. He quickly checked on the
two occupants and ran back to his
house to get his wife, Whitney, a
paramedic with Wise County.
“I was making breakfast, and he
ran into the house and told me to
call 911,” Whitney said.
Whitney and Dusty extricated
Gartman and Baker before the
medics were on the scene. Two helicopters were called to the scene,
and the men were flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.
Witnesses said the plane was flying low and was in a flat spin before
it crashed in the patch of woods.

City might
disband
police dept.
By BRANDON EVANS
In an effort to conserve
funds and increase street
patrols, the Newark city
council is considering elimination of its police force.
“Our current setup with
the police is not working,”
said Newby. “(Officer) Troy
(Crow) is the only one really
on the streets now.”
The department is composed of Crow and Chief
Terry Fiene, who works part
time and is unpaid.
“My idea is to have
(Rhome) police for us,” Newby said. “They’d patrol and
answer our calls — they answer a big percentage of our
calls now anyway.”
“They have asked if we’d
be interested,” said Rhome
Police Chief James Rose.
“Times are tough. We’d be
willing to help. There’s no
contract, no anything. We’ve
just agreed to meet.”

Solemn remembrance
Memorial Day programs recall those who gave their lives for freedom

Precinct 2 Commissioner
Kevin Burns and County
Judge Bill McElhaney made
a mad dash to Austin Tuesday afternoon.
The duo drove to the state
capital to go to the Public
Utilities Commission and
express the county’s opposition to a proposed Oncor line
that could run across Wise
County.
County commissioners approved a resolution in opposition to the line at a special
meeting Tuesday morning,
As veterans, their families and community
members bowed their heads Monday morning,
Wise County Veterans Group Chaplain Tommy Thompson expressed his appreciation for
a day to remember military men and women
who lost their lives in war.
“We thank God for this day to give honor to
the men and women who gave their lives,” he
said.
Several ceremonies marked Memorial Day
Monday, including the Wise County Veterans
Group’s ceremony at the Wise County Veterans Memorial Park in Decatur. The program
invited several veterans to speak on wars from the Civil War to World
War II.
Special guest Lt. Gen. Richard Carey of Rockwall reminded the
crowd that while Americans celebrated Memorial Day at home, the
day was just another day to soldiers deployed to battlefields overseas.

“This is a blessed day — something the good
Lord has given us,” Carey said. “Whether we
are in trouble or not, they’re still out there
defending our flag.”
Several World War II veterans shared their
experiences in war, including Army medic
Billy Bramlett.
Bramlett served in the Pacific, including
the Battle of Peleliu.
“I was just a kid, like all the other guys.
Everyone was 19 to 22 or 23,” he said. “The
Big Wigs said we needed that landing strip
in Peleliu.”
Peleliu would prove costly, and Bramlett’s
division suffered many casualties in the war.
“The 81st division almost ceased to be. We had a hard time getting
across Peleliu,” he said.
As a medic, Bramlett watched many men die on the small island.
“I saw a lot of things I’ll never forget — young guys like myself

that I’d try to help that I knew I couldn’t help,” he said.
“About two-thirds of those guys knew they were dying,
and they would cry for their mommas.”
Bramlett also remembers seeing the Golden Gate
Bridge on his way home and feeling the relief and happiness of coming home.
“Everyone on deck had big tears in their eyes,” he
said.
While Troy Hayes and C.B. Hoyle shared their experiences from World War II, Tommy Hudson talked about
his father, Ed Hudson, and his dad’s memories of being
a part of the Lost Battalion.
“He told me, ‘I never realized the courage it takes to
stand before the enemy ... and say, ‘I’m American, and
I’m going to be free because my buddies are going to
come get me.’ And that’s what kept them alive,” Hudson
said.
The ceremony also recognized Wise County’s connection to World War I, the Spanish-American War and
the Civil War. Manshadow Waylett honored Samuel
Sampler, a Decatur native who is the only person from
Wise County to have received the Congressional Medal
of Honor. Sampler was a corporal in the Army during
World War I. McKay spoke of his grandfather and his
wife’s grandfather who fought in the Spanish-American War, and W.B. Woodruff discussed four companies
from Wise County who fought in the Civil War.
The Wise County Veterans Council held a program at
the Decatur Civic Center Monday afternoon, where Decatur Mayor Joe Lambert recalled the sacrifices made
in defense of freedom.
“Many have marched off to war, and many have never
returned,” he said.
Guest speaker Susan Avery, a clinical social worker,
gave a history of what is now called “Memorial Day”
and suggested the true meaning of the day may be getting lost.
“The day was originally May 30,” she said. “A return
to the original day could return the solemn spirit to
Memorial Day.”
The North Texas Honor Guard ended the program
with a 21-gun salute followed by the playing of Taps.
World War II veteran Tal Morrison spoke at the dedication of the Rhome Veterans Park at 2 p.m. Monday.
The park was completed late last year.

Council meeting cut short
The city of Alvord’s May 28 council meeting was cut short just
after the members met in executive session. The council came out
and announced that items on the agenda would be tabled for the
next meeting as a council member had been notified of a death in
the family. The next meeting should be Thursday, April 10.

Officials make beeline ...
BIKE PATROL — Sgt. Cavin Riggs with the Wise County Sheriff’s
Department led a bike patrol unit Memorial Day weekend. Officers
patrolled Wise County Park on Lake Bridgeport Friday, Saturday, Sunday
and Monday.
Memorial Day weekend by the numbers
3 – Driving while intoxicated arrests
11 – Public intoxication arrests (10 on Sunday)
Sample of calls for service at Wise County Park:
Q Animal control was called Friday for a rattlesnake in a swimming
area.
Q A woman was flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth after
she fell out of the back of a pickup Saturday and hit her head.
Q A man arrived at the command post with a laceration to his jaw
Saturday. He went to the hospital by private vehicle.
(Information provided by the Wise County Sheriff’s Office.)
and it had to be turned in to the
PUC by June 2.
The proposed line would enter
Wise County just north of Roberts Road, follow Denton Creek
and exit the county just north of
U.S. 380 at County Line Road.
Commissioner Danny White
said several Precinct 1 landowners with property near Denton
Creek have already sent protest
letters to the PUC.
“This is all about moving wind
power from North Texas …” said
Burns. “… but they’re bypassing
those windmills in Montague
County.”
Burns said if the current proposed route is used, other lines
may have to be built to tie the
Montague County windmills into
the system.
“We’ve had our share of regional transmission lines coming
through from one place to another for the benefit of others,” said
McElhaney.
In other business, Sheriff David Walker reported that the animal control vehicles need major
repairs. There are three vehicles,
and two of them have more than
150,000 miles on them.
Walker said he wasn’t sure it
was cost effective to continue to
put money into the vehicles. Commissioners took no action but did
suggest Walker and Asset Manager Diana Alexander research
the price of a new vehicle.

City might disband police dept. ...
If a contract is drawn up, Rose is confident they would
have enough officers to adequately cover both cities. Rhome
has six full-time officers and four reserves.
“If it’s agreed upon (Newark) will contribute X amount of
dollars, and with that we could hire another officer,” Rose
said.
He said the arrangement could improve
coverage and response times for both cities. He said a Rhome officer would primarily patrol Newark in the evening.
“The officers on duty in Rhome and
Newark could back each other up,” Rose
said. “We have the Sheriff’s Department
for back up now and they are good partners, but they have such a large area to
cover they are sometimes 15 minutes
out.”
He said Rhome officers would patrol in
PIXLER
Newark cars if the deal is made.
“We’re not trying to take over,” Rose said. “They approached us in an effort to save money.”
The mayor and council members are also considering
elimination of Newark’s municipal court, which would dissolve the court clerk position and end the contract with its
municipal judge, Manuel Valdez.
“We could use Rhome’s court clerk and municipal judge,”
Newby said. “We could save possibly $40,000 to $45,000 per
year.”
A committee composed of Newby and council members
Bob Wells and Doug Anderson plan to discuss forging a contract with Rhome.
The council discussed this in open session during a special called meeting Friday night. Although originally to be
discussed in closed session, Newby said, “We don't have
anything to hide,” and chose to make personnel matters
public.
The mayor cited decreased revenue from property tax
and extensive costs in upgrading the water and sewer infrastructure for the proposed cost-saving measures.
“We’re trying to come into compliance with TCEQ (Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality),” Newby said.
He predicts spending $200,000 in the next two years on
various water and sewage projects, including installing a
new lift station and creating alternate power sources for
several lift stations and the wastewater treatment plant.
Amy Cromer had no idea going into the meeting that her
job was up for possible elimination. She has served as the
Newark court clerk for nine years.
“It would be a nice courtesy to at least
know what is going on,” Cromer said. “I
have a lot of experience in this position.”
The council is also considering hiring
a city manager and an assistant clerk in
lieu of hiring a new city secretary in the
wake of Tabitha Tucciarone announcing
her decision to resign as city secretary.
Tucciarone’s last day is set for June 18.
“There’s quite a bit of information that
comes through that office,” said council
WELLS member Chana Massey. “The city will get
to the point that we need a city manager.
If we go towards that direction, we’ll get someone with more
experience and education.”
Wells said the current combined salaries of the court clerk
and city secretary total $62,650 per year.
“A city manager position is too high for my qualifications
and an assistant clerk is too low,” Cromer said. “So my position is eliminated.
“Whatever happens will happen. Everything will work
itself out.”
“I can’t say I’m happy,” said council member Laura Pixler when questioned about the prospect of eliminating city
jobs. “But I’m saying to bring the budget down it has to be
looked at. We’ve made promises not to raise taxes. We’re not
going after anyone — we’re looking at all departments.”

Remember Jasper’s
heart, not just hate
By WILLIS WEBB
For the last 50-plus years I edited and published
community newspapers, the last 15 years of my
career in Jasper.
Jasper will be forever known as the place where
three white men dragged a black man to death, one
of the most horrific crimes in this
nation’s history.
Some called Jasper the gateway to scenic Lake Sam Rayburn,
the largest man-made lake in
Texas and one of the best bassfishing spots in the country.
For the last dozen years, the
first thing that pops into peoples’
minds is the brutal murder of
James Byrd Jr. by a terrible trio
– Bill King, Russell Brewer and
WEBB
Shawn Berry – on June 7, 1998.
How does a chamber of commerce, a public relations firm or an economic development group counter the inevitable “first thought”
at the mention of Jasper, Texas?
You want to be able to tell them the involved story
of the city’s heart and of the lengths to which the entire community went in order to heal, to see justice
served and to reveal all of Jasper’s positive traits.
How do you relate that in a brochure, in photos or
any chamber of commerce handout? Or in a short,
happenstance conversation with someone whose
only thought is, “What a terrible place that must
be.”
For me, the effort must take place as often as the
question is posed and with as much of the full story
as the questioner is willing to hear.
It begins with James Byrd Jr.’s family, a remarkable group – parents, five sisters, a brother and his
children. They displayed an unparalleled strength of
faith. That, along with the Byrd family’s uncommon
grace and dignity, were the beacons for a community
turned upside down and thrown into the international spotlight. The family called for calm and
invited one and all to come mourn and worship with
them.
Within days, the ministers had organized a
community service of healing, held on the county
courthouse lawn. Blacks and whites cried together,
worshipped together and hugged. It was a remarkably moving event.
In the weeks that followed the funeral, those with
healing and finding solutions in mind, took the lead
and the city began an organized effort to identify
problems and develop programs to further enhance
progress in race relations.
Jasper County’s justice system operated in a calm
and deliberate manner with or without scores of
news people and streets filled with two dozen microdish trucks.
Despite the presence of hate groups from either
extreme, life in Jasper progressed in a manner that
belied the horrific event and the glaring international spotlight.
News people who came looking for nothing but
bad news went away with a sense of good in Jasper.
Ultimately the trials began and ended, and the
result was something for which Jasper should be
remembered equally.
For the first time in Texas history, white men were
convicted and sentenced to die for the murder of a
black man. King and Brewer were given the death
sentence, and Berry was assessed a life term in
prison with no parole eligibility for at least 40 years.
The full story is something I will tell for as long as
I have breath.

Students’ labor
made it possible
I want to thank the high school students from Decatur
and Bridgeport High Schools, the teachers, parents and
businesses who contributed to the recent community service project at Wise Hope Shelter.
In less than 48 hours, they had demolished an outbuilding, removed the debris, landscaped the yard, cleaned the
interior of the shelter and built a new perimeter fence. All
of this was organized by Ricky Stutt, Skills USA teacher
at DHS.
These young people were amazing with their enthusiasm and willingness to do whatever was asked of them.
This type of community support is what makes Wise
County such a wonderful place to live.

Rand Paul’s opinion
is his own
In response to Ken Hughes’ opinion letter published
May 27 –“Politician proved point” – Rand Paul certainly
put himself in a precarious position with his constituents
in his comments regarding the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the
ultimate effects of which will be determined by his constituents in the November election.
Mr. Hughes’ concept that one candidate’s opinion statement constitutes bigotry of a whole movement, i.e. the
Tea Party movement, makes Hughes the real “bigot” as
Mr. Paul’s comments represented his individual opinion
– not the opinion of the Tea Party movement. If Hughes
is interested, he can find out what the “clear nature” of
the Tea Party Movement is by studying the tenets of the
“Contract From America.” And, history, the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution of the United States
Of America are all very clear that religious rights were
established by the founding fathers.
A recently conducted USA Today/Gallup poll found that
28 percent of U.S. adults call themselves supporters of the
Tea Party movement, that they tend to be conservative in
their leanings and, that their age, educational background,
employment status and race are quite representative of
the public at large – hardly bigots or religious fundamentalists.

MORAC series
powers into area
By RICHARD GREENE
With its steep cliffs and rocky terrain,
the Bridgeport OHV Park can be treacherous on foot.
Turn utility vehicles, Jeeps and trucks
loose to race side-by-side around the park
and as MORAC extreme off-road racing
owner Nathan Davis says, “Carnage and
rollovers are likely.”
MORAC will bring its extreme racing
tour to the park for the first time Saturday and Sunday. Racing in the four classes will begin at 10 a.m. both days. Twenty-six teams are expected for the event to
battle for trophies and cash prizes.
The Bridgeport race will also serve
as the MORAC series finale with 15
teams vying for the title and the purse
of $4,000.
Davis toured Texas looking for a site
for the series finale after races in Bryan
and Conroe.
“I checked out 13 courses in Texas in
10 days,” Davis said. “I went 3,000 miles
looking for a course that had everything
– visibility for spectators and an extreme
course for the drivers. This was it.”
He added that the Bridgeport course
ranked in the top three in the overall
evaluation and is ranked as the most extreme course of the 2010 season.
The course was so extreme that Davis said crews were spending this week
working to make some of the ledges more
navigable.
The off-road vehicles often hit speeds of
60 mph while making jumps, but Davis
expects speeds to be slower this weekend
on the tough course.
“Most of them will be going 15 to 35
mph over rocks,” he said. “They’ll have
a hard time staying in their seats even
with safety harnesses.”
Even with speeds on the dirt and rock
surface being slower, plenty of action is
expected.
“They’ll be going full-throttle over boulders and trying to get up hills,” Davis
said. “They’ll be racing each other and
pushing each other into trees.”
Tickets for event are $15 for adults,
and children 12 and under are free.
Camp Gridiron
Bridgeport coach Danny Henson and his coaching staff put on a
football camp for players between second and eighth grades this
week. More than 90 players turned out for the first day Tuesday. Seth
Mitchell, top, uncorks a throw during a drill. Henson, bottom left,
shows Trey Cook a proper throwing technique. Ryan Limer, right,
hauls in a pass.

Wide receivers
coach leaves Eagles
By RICHARD GREENE
The Decatur Eagles are looking for a
new receivers coach.
John Speed tendered his resignation
Friday after accepting the offensive coordinator job at the new school in Leander,
Rouse High School.
Speed spent two seasons at Decatur after coming over from Sanger.
“He did a good job for us,” said Decatur athletic director and head coach Kyle
Story. “I want to help anyone that wants
to move up.”
Story does not have an immediate replacement for Speed.
“We’ll post it and see who is available,”
he said.
Speed also coached Decatur’s discus
throwers including District 5-3A champion Brooke Fincher.
The rest of Story’s staff is expected to
return for the fall as the Eagles move
into the new District 7-3A with Bridgeport, Lake Worth, Mineral Wells and Fort
Worth Castleberry.

life by the horns in the

The Passage of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was a watershed moment for
democracy. It represented a change in the balance of power from the institutions of
government to the people those institutions purported to serve. It made permanent the
concept that governments could not parcel our information as they saw fit, but established
that government information ultimately belonged to its citizens. Through use of FOIA,
ordinary citizens and the media have uncovered critical information regarding everything
from health care delivery to the environment in which we live.

Final arrangements
Wedding will mark florist’s last order after 32 years
By BRANDON EVANS
Flowers take the place of
words.
The
delicate, fleeting
beauty of petals, pastel or
ruby red, is given during the
most important events in
people’s lives.
On Friday, designers’ deft
hands will compose the final
floral arrangements at Decatur Florist and Gift Shop.
The last order of flowers will
furnish the wedding of Laura Dunlap and Cole Tanner.
Dunlap was a former employee at the flower shop.
The wedding falls on
Saturday, June 5, the last
day Decatur Florist will be
open.
It will be the last of countless weddings, funerals,
birthdays,
anniversaries,
holidays and births that the
shop has provided for.
“It’s sad,” said floral designer and deliverer Ninva
Tuley of the store closing.
“It’s been like an icon in Decatur to me.”
“One of the hardest things
I’ve ever had to do is tell my
employees we are closing,”
said owner Wanda McCurdy.
“We’ve had a lot of good em-

ployees here.”
Decatur Florist opened on
Washburn Street in 1978.
“When we started out here
years ago, this was just a
little cubbyhole,” said Elton
McCurdy, Wanda’s husband
of 57 years. “It was just a
little building and now, oh
boy.”
The building has grown
considerably over the years.
It is now attached to a furniture store and a hair salon.
The doors are unlocked or
open between all three, allowing free flow of friends
between the three businesses.
“It’s been like a big family
up here for years,” Mrs. McCurdy said. “We’ve all had a
lot of fun.”
Sometimes they had too
much fun.
“Ruth Woolaver was a
mainstay up here for many
years,” Mrs. McCurdy said.
“We’d have a lot of fun. But
sometimes we’d get a bit too
rambunctious.
Whenever
that happened, Ruth pulled
her Bible out and told us to
settle down.

we started having too much
fun one of us would threaten
to pull a little Bible out.”
Mrs. McCurdy seemed
destined to work with flowers.
“My very first job I had as
a teenager was in a floral
shop,” she said. “I started
out here as a silent partner,
but later I wanted to be a
part of it.
“I just like the beauty of
flowers and how they make
people feel better and feel
good when they receive
them.”
Designer Karen Weser
also appreciates the importance of flowers in people’s
lives.
“All the arrangements
we design are important to
somebody,” Weser said. “We
furnish proms, weddings,
graduations, anniversaries
and births. And when we do
funerals, it is the last thing
you can do for somebody.”
Tuley enjoys deliveries.
“It’s fun to see their faces,”
Tuley said. “Sometimes they
think the flowers are from
me.”
Mrs. McCurdy said the
business has been a family
affair.
“Valentine’s Day has always been one of the busiest
times of the year for us,” she
said. “My husband was our
rose stripper. That is a huge
job.”
The floral industry has
seen some changes since she
started.
“When homecoming time
would come around, we’d
have to make all the corsages out of fresh flowers,”
Mrs. McCurdy said. “It was
an all-night affair. Then the
silk corsages came out. People didn’t like them at first.”
Carolyn Shaw has worked
at the floral shop for 15
years. She also manages the
furniture store next door.
For years she’s sat on a stool
near the inside doorway between the two businesses.
“It’s bittersweet,” Shaw
said of the closing. “She
didn’t want to sell the business to someone else. She
wanted the business to close
with class.”
Shaw, Weser, Tuley and
Becky Ragan are the current employees at the floral
shop.
“Becky is the hardestworking girl I’ve ever seen,”
Mrs. McCurdy said.
And two weeks ago, at the
age of 80, Margaret Burkmier retired as a designer from
Decatur Florist.
“It was all I could do to
keep up with her,” Mrs. McCurdy said.
“This is the greatest place
in the world,” she said.
“We’ve had the greatest cus-

Wise County Messenger Classifieds • www.wcmessenger.com/class
The long-term health benefits of an
active lifestyle are irrefutable. One
of the greatest gifts parents can give
their children is the healthy habit of
daily exercise. Luckily, toddlers don’t
need a gym, a personal trainer, or any
special equipment to stay fit. Toddlers
should have about a half an hour
daily of structured physical activity.
Essentially, this means anything that
involves the gross motor skills such
as walking, jumping, skipping, and
running. Toddlers love to dance and
play, and these activities will provide
effortless exercise. Toddlers should
augment structured play with lots of
free play time running around. A rule
of thumb is to break up sedentary
activities with active ones after about
an hour.

SEX LIFE AFTER
LIGATION
The form of female sterilization known as tubal ligation, which
is popularly referred to as “getting your tubes tied,” is an outpatient
procedure that involves blocking the Fallopian tubes. As a result,
an egg is prevented from traveling to the uterus from the ovary, and
sperm is blocked from reaching the Fallopian tube to fertilize an egg.
Not only is the simple procedure immediately effective, many women
report that tubal ligation lowered their risk of certain sexual problems
(such as lack of interest in sex), thereby increasing their happiness with
their sex lives. It may be that women and their partners enjoy sex more
after tubal ligation because they are free of the anxiety over potential
unplanned pregnancy. Tubal ligation is permanent and irreversible.
ALWAYS
TOP DOLLAR
FOR YOUR
TRADE-IN
If you have questions or concerns about your gynecological health,
or would like additional information about tubal ligation and other
birth control options, don’t hesitate and call WISE OBSTETRICS &
GYNECOLOGY P.A. at 940-626-8008 to schedule an appointment.
The office is conveniently located at 1713 South FM 51, Ste. 201,
Decatur. New patients are welcome.
P.S. Tubal ligation may be performed right after childbirth (either through
the belly button or during a Cesarean section), by laparoscopic surgery,
(which involves two small incisions in the abdomen), or by hysteroscopy
(which does not involve incisions).

CROSSWORD
SOLUTION
Improving milk and beef production efficiency
By GARY CLAYTON
Wise Co. Extension Agent
With all of the recent emphasis on
going green, it has become hard to
read a weekly magazine or watch a
television program without encountering some expert blasting factory farming of livestock and advocating, if not
demanding, a return to the simpler,
cleaner, more ethical system of producing agricultural commodities.
A recent research paper from the
University of Georgia (published in
the Journal of Animal Science) compared a typical dairy farm from 1944,
when management was largely pasture-based, to a typical modern dairy
farm in 2007.
Compared to the 1944 dairy, to pro-

duce the same
amount of milk,
the modern dairy
needed only 21
percent as many
animals, 23 percent as much
feedstuffs, 35 percent as much water and 10 percent
as much land.
In addition, for
the same amount
of milk, the 2007
dairy produced only 24 percent as
much manure, 43 percent as much
methane and 56 percent as much nitrous oxide and had a carbon footprint
only 37 percent as large. A comparison
of grass-fed beef production compared
Clayton’s
Corner
to current feeding systems yielded
similar results.
To fulfill the increasing requirements of the U.S. population for dairy
and beef products, it is essential to
adopt management practices and technologies that improve production efficiency, allowing milk and beef production to be increased while reducing the
impact on the environment.
Q
The Humane Society of the United
States, a McDonald’s stockholder, has
proposed purchasing 5 percent of the
company’s eggs from cage-free sources.
McDonald’s rejected the proposal on
the grounds that there is not enough
scientific evidence to do so and that
cage-free systems may increase risk of
infectious disease.

Wife probably innocent in tree’s death
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: We’ve had a
Satsuma citrus tree for some
time, and it’s done very well.
Then, my wife fed it with an
organic citrus food, and it
died very quickly. Could the
plant food have killed it?
That’s not a lot to go on. It
would seem unlikely that a
product intended to nourish
a plant would end up killing
that same plant. That would
assume that it was applied
in the recommended dosage.
Other things (cold damage, if
this happened over the winter; insufficient light; perhaps
insects, etc.) are more likely
to have been the cause, but
I’d have to have more clues to
figure it out.
Dear Neil: I have two plum
trees near one another. Both
bloom, but only one sets fruit.
Any idea why that might happen?
Are they blooming at the
same time? One may be getting pollen from other trees
nearby. If the other (nonfruiting) tree blooms earlier
or later, there may not be sufficient pollen. Methley is the
best pollinator, both of other
types and of itself. Maybe your
“good” tree is of that variety.
Dear Neil: I need to put
grass on a steep slope. What
grass type will both hold the
soil and stand up to drought
for me?
Common
bermudagrass
would be the top choice. You
may have to sod it across the
slope to stop erosion until it
takes root.
Dear Neil: I have an Italian stone pine that is strug-

gling because someone planted it in shallow, rocky soil.
Can I dig out around it and
add better soil?
You could do that
if it were vigorous
enough to be salvaged, but it would
eventually require
a front-end loader
to remove enough
soil. Their roots can
grow to be quite
extensive. Are you
sure it’s worth all
that effort? There
are so many other
fine trees. You ought
to consider one of
them as a replacement.
eggs. As the branch dries and
dies, it snaps off. The larvae
develop in the dead twig on
the ground. Rake
up the twigs and
destroy them. No
spray will help,
because the adults
are transitory, and
the larvae are active long after a
spray would be effective.
Gardener’s
Mailbag
Dear Neil: I was surprised
at your answer that involved
mulching Texas mountain
laurels to keep their seedlings
from growing. My sister did
exactly that, and they popped
up all over.
I am still comfortable with
my answer, but I might need
to explain it a bit more. Not
only will mulch make it more
difficult for weeds, including
tree seedlings, to sprout, but
it also makes it a lot easier
to remove them. All you have
to do is drag a hoe or rake
through the mulch. Your goal
would be to disturb their root
systems, ever so gently. That
would expose the plants’ roots
to the air, and they would not
survive.
Dear Neil: I have a river
birch that sheds twigs continuously. It looks like they’ve
been cut off the tree. What does
that, and how can I stop it?
That’s damage done by
twig girdlers. The adult female beetle cuts around the
branch, then deposits her
Dear Neil: I’ve
attached a photo of
a weed that someone told me is dichondra.
Sprays
haven’t killed it. It’s growing
in St. Augustine. What should
I use?
From your photo, it does
look similar to dichondra, but
it doesn’t appear to be an exact
match. Not to worry, because
a broadleafed weedkiller (containing 2,4-D) will kill it. Use
a pump sprayer, and set its
spray pattern to be a fine-medium mist. Hose-end sprayers
put out droplets that are too
large. They bead up and roll
off glossy leaves like this. In
fact, include one drop of liquid
dishwashing detergent per
gallon of spray to help hold it
on the leaf surface.
Dear Neil: What is your
feeling about rubber mulch? I
don’t see people using it.
If all you want is a mulch
that will cover the ground,
rubber mulch would be fine.
It will retard weed growth,
lessen water losses to evaporation and moderate the rates
of soil temperature changes.
But, it doesn’t decay, so it
won’t have the beneficial effect on the soil. And, to some
people’s eyes, it doesn’t look

completely natural. However,
it’s a matter of personal taste.
Dear Neil: I have round,
green balls all over the leaves
and twigs of my pecan trees.
Will they keep the tree from
producing pecans this year?
Those are pecan phylloxera
galls. They’re a little disfiguring, but they’re essentially
harmless. Your only means
of reducing their numbers
in the long term is to apply
dormant oil (horticultural oil)
during the late winter.
Dear Neil: We have a gorgeous hillside of the trailing
vinca. Is there any way to
protect it against the summer
heat?
It’s usually not the heat, but
leafrollers that do damage to
vinca groundcover in Texas.
Apply a systemic insecticide
monthly beginning now, and
see if it makes a measurable
difference. It should be noticeable.

“Needed to get back to my life”
O
ne cold January afternoon, Shirley
Lack was on her porch trying to
bring her dog back into the house
when she lost her balance and fell. She knew
instantly that she had done more damage
to herself than just the average fall; she
had actually fractured her right hip. Shirley
crawled back into the house and waited
there for 4 hours until her family returned
home. After undergoing surgery and some
physical therapy at the hospital, Shirley said,
“I knew that I had to have additional therapy
before I could go home.” Shirley had heard
about Senior Care Health & Rehabilitation
Center, a new facility, that had just opened
and set out to investigate from her hospital
bed. After completing her homework
regarding her next step to recovery, she
was ready to be admitted to Senior Care.
“I knew that the emphasis would be placed
on care,” explains Shirley; to her relief
she was correct. After spending 20 days
at Senior Care, Shirley was ready to return home and back to her
job. If you think you have seen her before, you probably have; Shirley is the smiling
face that greets you here at our Decatur Wal-Mart. Shirley explains, “ I would highly
recommend Senior Care to people; the staff are nice, very supportive, eager to please,
and knowledgeable”
