The Extension Horse Com-mittee has been busy plan-ning some spring programs for area equine lovers.
The fi rst program is a Colt Breaking Clinic from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 22.
The clinic will be held in the Gordon Maatsch en-closed arena south of Deca-tur.
To fi nd the arena, take Farm Road 730 south out of Decatur eight miles to CR 4360; go east on CR 4360 about two miles and the arena will be on the left.
Professional cutting horse trainer Dustan Horne will conduct the clinic. Refresh-ments will be provided by the Horse Committee. There will be a $5 registration fee collected at the door.
The second program is Ba-sic Horse Management 101 scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, at the Posse Grounds just south of Decatur on FM 51.
The 101 class will be an all day program with top-ics such as dental care, ba-sic nutrition, health care, hoof and foot care and much more.
Dr. Brett Scott, equine specialist with Texas AgriL-ife Extension will be one of the key speakers.
The registration fee will include a noon lunch and refreshments. Look for more details on the Basic Horse Management class in the next couple of weeks.
To sign up for Basic Horse Management, contact the Extension offi ce at (940) 627-3341.

The deadline to register is March 21.
For more information and a list of hotels, contact the Wise County Extension of-fi ce.
BY NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: I just com-pleted a raised fl ower bed in my yard. It is 16 feet in diameter and roughly 1 foot high. I have prepared the soil carefully, and I intend to plant Knockout roses. I do not know whether to use a drip/soaker type of irriga-tion system in it, or whether I should use spray heads. We have a fair amount of so-dium in our local water. Any suggestions?
Absolutely! Go with the drip/soaker option. Knock-out roses are highly resis-tant to mildew and black spot, but you always want to keep rose foliage dry. That’s especially important if you fear salt burn to the leaves.
Your other option, if it makes the sprinkler system design any easier, would be to use fl at-throw spray heads that would keep the irrigation water off the leaves. As with all of your plantings, you’ll want to fi gure a way to leach accumulations of the soluble salt from the planting soil periodically. Heavy rainfall will do it, or a thorough wa-tering will as well.
Dear Neil: We live in a rural area and have been devastated in recent years by grasshoppers eating our pears, crape myrtles, roses, oleanders, cannas and even pines. Will Nolo bait help? How should it be applied?
Texas A&M reports that Nolo bait, containing spores of the protozoan Nosema locustae will kill immature grasshoppers, but that ma-ture grasshoppers may sur-vive (although the females will lay fewer eggs). They
make the comment that “Nosema baits act too slow-ly and kill too few grasshop-pers to be much value when the need for control is imme-diate.” Therefore, if this will be a main means of control for you, you’ll have to apply it as you see the fi rst evi-dence of feeding. As perhaps a more reliable option, A&M further suggests treatments of existing grasshoppers us-ing Cyfl uthrin, Bifenthrin, Permethrin or Acephate, all commonly available from lo-cal garden suppliers. Spray in a downward pattern to catch the grasshoppers as they try to fl y to fl ee the scene. Remove tall grass and weeds to take away har-boring places.
Dear Neil: We’re con-sidering planting a 10-foot line of oleanders as a screen between our yard and our neighbor’s. Is there a down-side to them? When is the
best time to plant them?If you’re talking about
planting shrubs that grow to 10 feet tall, you might consid-er Nellie R. Stevens hollies. They’re more winter-hardy than oleanders. Fact is, once you get north of San Anto-nio-Houston, oleanders can freeze clear to the ground in really cold weather, not ex-actly what you want from a privacy screen. In decreas-ing order of cold hardiness: red, pink and white types. Single types seem to hold up better than the doubles.Oth-er choices: Mary Nell holly, yaupon holly in shrub form and cherry laurel in acidic soils. Willowleaf, also called Needlepoint, hollies are ex-cellent if you want some-thing with a mature height of 7 to 8 feet.
Dear Neil: I have a large and old fruiting mulberry in my yard. In fact, it’s about the only source of shade that
I have. For the past two years bark has been peeling away from its trunk. About mid-summer the leaves in the top of the tree start turning yel-low, then they fall off. I don’t want to lose the tree. What could I do? Is there anything I can wrap around the trunk to keep the bark from falling off?
It may be simply old age catching up with a mature mulberry. Their life span is 25 to 50 years. It’s also possible that borers have moved into its trunk. They would cut off the fl ow of nu-trients and water to those leaves, resulting in their decline and drop. If the tree is really important to you, consider hiring an arbor-ist to take a look at it. Bark is a dead tissue, and it will always fall away from tree trunks as they expand. The fact that it started just two years ago and that the top of the tree is in distress are the
two best clues.
Dear Neil: We need to killhoneysuckle vines that aregrowing all over our fence.What will do it?
Use a broadleafed weed-killer spray carefully ap-plied only to the honeysuck-le’s vigorous spring growthsometime during April. Infact, since you’ll eventu-ally have to remove all theold dead stubble anyway,you might just want to cutit back to the ground now,then spray the re-growth, soyou’d be able to direct yourspray more precisely towardthe ground and away fromother desirable plants.

By THE AMERICAN
COUNSELING
ASSOCIATION
Every family must face bad news at one time or an-other. From economic issues to marriage problems, there are numerous negative is-sues that can affect a family and trouble our children.
Often a parent’s natural reaction is to “protect” the children, especially younger ones, from such bad news. Unfortunately, the experts say keeping kids uninformed
often does more harm than good.
One problem is that kids are usually more in tune with family life than parents realize. They may not know details but are often aware when something unpleasant is happening to the family.
Mom or Dad may seem more upset, tired, or act un-usually. They may overhear bits of arguments or real-ize a discussion stops when they enter the room. A child will sense a problem and without solid information
will begin to fi ll in his or her own details.
The results can be dis-turbing for children. They may imagine the situation to be far worse than it really is. Or they may decide that they’re the reason for the problem, feeling guilty be-cause they’re to blame. The result can be a stressed or depressed child, not know-ing exactly what’s wrong or how to fi x it, but believing he or she is at fault.
No, we don’t want to bur-den our children with all our
problems, or all the sordid details of work, money or relationship issues. But it is important to keep the kids informed to an appropriate degree when events are im-pacting their lives.
A good starting point is letting children know, in an age-appropriate manner, that there is a problem, but making clear it’s not their fault. Just simply saying, “You may have noticed I’ve seemed a little angry lately, or more tired than usual, but it isn’t your fault,” can help
reassure and open needed conversation.
Your children should know the adult world does have problems, but also that it’s OK to ask questions when they sense something is wrong. Tell them that even Mom and Dad can need an extra hug at times. Such conversations will help your children feel included and less stressed.
Children who are appro-priately informed are less likely to draw the wrong conclusions or blame them-
selves for the problem. Keep-ing them informed helpsthem develop a realisticview of the family and theworld, a necessary ingredi-ent for growing into healthyadults.

Seven Ways to Get a
Jump Start on Your Taxes
Earlier is better when it comes to working
on your taxes. Taxpayers are encouraged to
get a head start on tax preparation, espe-
cially since early fi lers avoid the last minute
rush and get their refunds sooner.
Here are seven easy ways to get a good
jump on your taxes long before the April
deadline is here:
1. Gather your records in advance. Make
sure you have all the records you need,
including W-2s and 1099s. Don’t forget to
save a copy for your fi les.
2. Get the right forms. They’re available
around the clock on the IRS Web site, IRS.
gov.
3. Take your time. Don’t forget to leave
room for a coffee break when fi lling out your
tax return as rushing can mean making a
mistake.
4. Double-check your math and verify all
Social Security numbers. These are among
the most common errors found on tax
returns. Taking care will reduce your chance
of hearing from the IRS and speed up your
refund.
5. E-fi ling is easy. E-fi ling catches math
errors and provides confi rmation your return
has been received and gives you a faster
refund.
6. Get the fastest refund. When you e-fi le
fi le early, you receive your refund faster.
When you choose direct deposit, you receive
your refund sooner than waiting for a check.
7. Don’t panic. If you have a problem
or a question, remember the IRS is there
to help. Try the IRS Web site at IRS.gov or
call the IRS customer service number at
800-829-1040.
Are you concerned that your efforts
to get ready early may be affected by the
Alternative Minimum Tax legislation passed
by Congress in December? Most individuals
will not be impacted, so it is still a good
idea to get an early start on your prepara-
tions. Even if you are fi ling one of fi ve forms
affected by the recent legislation, the IRS
expects to be ready for your return by Febru-
ary 11. You can review a list of the impacted
forms and fi nd out the latest news about
when the IRS will be ready for your return
at IRS.gov.

Eagle standouts — Decatur
got fi ve hits from Tim Metts,
Chris Metts, Zach Park and Bran-
don Climer. Alec Torres scored
the only run for the Eagles who
took Denton nine innings before
coming up short. Clint Moore
took the loss after going a little
more than six innings and gave
up one unearned run with three
strike outs and two walks. Tim
Metts threw the last two innings
and allowed two runs on three
hits with three strikeouts.
DHS coach’s comments: This
was a good baseball game be-
tween two good teams. Good
pitching and solid defense from
both sides made the bats rather
quiet for both teams. Denton
scored two runs in the ninth on a

CJHS coach’s comments:
Our girls showed great effort
on a very long, cold night. They
competed against some bigger
schools with a lot more girls than
us and still gave it their best. I
saw bright spots and future po-
tential. I am very proud of their
effort overall.

Research indicates that women with ovulatory disorders who are trying to become pregnant should consider lifestyle changes that are both consistent with an overall healthy lifestyle and may help them conceive. According to the Nurses’ Health Study II, women who followed a combination of fi ve or more lifestyle factors had a more than 80% reduction in their risk of ovulatory infertility. These changes included the ratio of monounsaturated to trans fats, protein consumption (from animals or vegetable), carbohydrate consumption (including fi ber intake and dietary glycemic index), dairy consumption (low-fat and high-fat), iron consumption, multi-vitamin use, body mass index, and physical activity. Interestingly, high fertility scores were related to consuming more high-fat dairy products versus low-fat products.
If you are having trouble conceiving, speak to your doctor about methods to increase fertility. At our offi ce, we are pleased to offer fertility counseling, treatment and testing. For additional information about today’s column, call WISE OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY P.A at 940-626-8008. Our offi ce is conveniently located at 1713 South FM 51, Ste. 201, Decatur. New patients are welcome.
Have a safe and wonderful Spring break!
The healthy diet and exercise mentioned above to combat ovulation-linked infertility also helps to avert diabetes, which may affect ovulatory function.

By DENNY DEADY
In an illustration, Ben McCall would be the guy with the light bulb burning just above his head. He’s constantly coming up with ideas, ways to enhance his business, PCG Manufactur-ing in Decatur.
In one area of his PCG Manufacturing plant, em-ployees are making automo-tive speaker boxes. In anoth-er area, wood shutters are being built. And in another, a welder is creating beauti-ful iron work. There is even a huge wooden double gate under construction.
McCall’s dealings with a Fort Worth company for the speaker boxes and his desire to raise funds for the Wise County Sheriff ’s Posse has led to the creation of anoth-er business, Red Dirt Gui-tars. He got the guitars from a Fort Worth wholesaler. While rounding up auction items to benefi t the Sheriff ’s Posse, he had the thought that an autographed guitar would be ideal.
“Some autographs you can read and some you can’t,” said McCall. “Some just look like scribbling.”
McCall had some sticker material in his plant and Internet access gave him the logos of popular country bands. He made a sticker of the logo, applied it to a gui-tar and then got the artist to autograph the guitar. That would give the buyer not only an offi cial autograph but also the name and logo
of the band or performer. His fi rst attempts were not up to his standard of excel-lence but he has since per-fected the process.
“We’re still working on
ways to improve,” he said. “We’ve spent a couple of months getting to where we’re happy with what we have.”
The guitars are ideal for fundraising auctions and be-cause of the quality, McCall said a buyer will be proud of what they have purchased.
McCall said the guitars are also ideal for the music fan interested in a “high-end” collectible, for the fan who attends a concert and wants more than a T-shirt. Each guitar also comes with
a photo of the artist with the guitar.
In addition to featuring a performer on the guitar, Mc-Call also plans to do song specifi c guitars.
“We’ll start selling them on e-Bay and then when people learn who we are, we’ll have our own site. We’ll also do a charity site, where all pro-ceeds go to charity. Many of the performers have specifi c charities that they support.”
The sky is the limit for the guitars, McCall feels, be-
BENEFIT CONCERT — Rusty Wier plays a custom logo gui-tar from Red Dirt Guitars, a division of PCG Manufacturing in Decatur. At the end of the evening at the benefit concert at the Longhorn Ballroom, the guitar was auctioned for $3,250.

Wise Co. Extension Agent
This week we continue to look at reasons we should all participate in the upcoming Walk Across Texas program. Kickoff is set for noon Thurs-day, March 13 at the Wise County court house in De-catur. Walkers will begin re-cording mileage on Sunday, March 16.
Approximately 55 percent of the U.S. population is overweight or obese. Main-taining a normal weight requires a balance between calories taken in and used for energy. Previous genera-tions ate a lot more calories, but they worked a lot harder. They walked many places whereas today we drive even short distances. Instead of working in the fi elds, we sit at our computers. On our way home, we stop for fast food and spend an average of three or more hours watching television in the evening.
Too many calories and too much sitting are strongly linked to weight gain. A re-cent study found that our children are gaining weight for the same reasons. Over-weight parents tend to have overweight children. Over-weight people are more like-ly to have high blood pres-sure, diabetes, some types of cancer, and joint problems related to arthritis. Can this trend be reversed?
The answer is yes, but if you have tried to lose weight and increase your activity level, you know changing is not easy. Eating high caloric foods and sitting in front of the television are much eas-ier.
Changing eating and ac-tivity patterns require effort and planning. Spend time learning about whether or
not you need to lose weight and if you can safely begin an activity program. Learn about your options. Just be-cause you have tried before and not been successful does not mean you cannot be suc-cessful this time.
Losing weight and increas-ing activity does not mean you have to suffer or spend a lot of money for special foods, pills, books or equip-ment. People who went from an average weight of 210 to an average of 145 pounds and maintained their loss for an average of 5 1/2 years attributed their success to controlling calorie intake, limiting portion sizes, eat-ing fi ve meals each day, never skipping meals, eat-ing out no more than three times each week with only one of those times at a fast food restaurant, and using up about 2,700 calories a week in physical activity be-yond that required for daily activities like gardening or housecleaning. A majority of these 629 successful losers in the National Weight Con-trol Registry said they had been overweight since child-hood or had a family history of obesity. Getting started is hard. Programs claiming quick weight loss with little or no effort tend to help re-move little more than your dollars.
If you and your family, friends, co-workers or church group want to get started on the road to better health, call the Wise County Exten-sion offi ce at (940) 627-3341 to learn about Walk Across Texas. Walk Across Texas can help you start walking and/or losing weight. The program is free and can be an important step toward better health for you and your entire family.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an in-fl ammatory condition that causes ach-ing and throbbing joints, and can lead to deformity of affected joints. Typically a chronic disease, RA (the most common form of juvenile arthritis) occurs as fl are-ups, periods of increased symptoms that alternate with periods of relative remission. RA symptoms include joint pain and swelling, particularly in smaller joints; general aching and stiffness in joints and muscles, especially after sleep or rest; mobility loss in affected joints; strength loss in muscles attached to affected joints; fatigue that is exacer-bated during fl are-ups; low-grade fever; and a general sense of malaise. Some patients develop rheumatoid nodules, tiny lumps that form under the skin at pressure points like the elbows, hands, and feet. If your child suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, please come to LOVETTE PEDIATRICS. Highly trained and caring specialists at 2014 Ben Merritt Drive, Suite B, Decatur offer a comprehen-sive array of health services to ensure healthy growth and development as well as medical control of acute and chronic conditions. Make an appointment by calling (940) 627-8044. For your conve-nience, we’re open M -Th 8am to 5pm and F 8am to noon. Healthy Futures Start Here. Our most important respon-sibility is taking care of your child.

BMS coach’s comments: I was
very impressed for these kids;
fi rst track meet ever. Except
for two running events we got
fi rst place, we got fi rst in most
individual heats. They did very
well despite the very cold tem-
peratures. The relay teams were
also impressive as they won all
three.

FOCUS ON 4-H
ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, March 6, 2008 9
Buying a new car or house? Making travel plans? Selecting a new paint color for the living room? These are personal choices that Texans make on a daily ba-sis. But what about decisions relating to the health care we’ll receive if we’re un-able to communicate our wishes?
If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to ask yourself two key ques-tions:■ What type of treatment do I want in
a case I’m incapacitated and unable to direct my own care?■ Who do I want to make those calls
on my behalf? Many Texans already have consid-
ered these issues and shared their deci-sions with family, friends, physicians or clergy. For those who haven’t, the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Ser-vices (DADS) has a few basic points to consider.
An advance directive is a legal docu-ment, such as a medical power of attor-ney or living will, stating your wishes about your medical treatment. These documents allow you to direct, in ad-vance, what type of medical treatment you want to receive and also to desig-nate other individuals to make those decisions when you can’t.
If you haven’t made your wishes known through an advance directive then health care decisions can be made by your family, physician or a judge – whether or not they refl ect your actual
desires.A living will allows you to issue in-
structions about your medical treatment should you become terminally or irre-versibly ill and unable to communicate.
This document can include your wish-es concerning resuscitation, dialysis, withholding fl uids or food, artifi cial hy-dration and nutrition as well as organ and tissue donation.
A medical power of attorney lets you appoint a trusted person to make medi-cal decisions on your behalf if you are not competent. While it is not necessary to have an attorney help you prepare an advance directive, you may want to con-sult an attorney if you have any special concerns.
Once you’ve made the decision to com-plete an advance directive, your next step is to decide who will be the health care agent – that is the person who’ll make decisions on your behalf.
A health care agent can be anyone whom you trust, knows you well and will honor your wishes. The health care agent does not have to be a family mem-ber but can be a close friend or business associate. The important point to re-member when making the selection is to be sure this person is willing to ask your health care provider questions so he or she can obtain the information to make decisions.
To help you make decisions about completing an advance directive, DADS
offers the following advice:1. Obtain the appropriate document
(living will or medical power of attorney) and review the contents. Documents are available from medical facilities, doctors, health care organizations or online from the Texas Department of Aging and Dis-ability Services at www.dads.state.tx.us.
2. Discuss your beliefs and wishes with your doctor, family members and friends. Select a health care agent and discuss the decisions you are asking him or her to make in the event you are un-able to due to incapacitation.
3. Complete the documents and pro-vide copies to your physician, family members and health care agent.

“I learned a long time ago you just follow where it leads,” said McCall. “It’s kind of the way things go. This is a natural fi t for us.
Anytime you can fi nd some-thing with true value that people can appreciate, it’s a good way to go.”
McCall said the reaction to the guitars is “Wow!”, fol-lowed by, “I’ve never seen anything like that.”
“Then they jump into,
‘How do you do it?’ The re-action is very strong across the board.”
McCall is currently target-ing country and western acts in Texas and Oklahoma.
He keeps up with perfor-mance schedules and ar-ranges to meet the perform-
ers enroute to their show or at the venue, to get guitars signed.
He will give performers guitars to do with as they please.
He said many will use the signed guitars to raise mon-ey for their favorite charity.

With the memory of last year’s pet food recall still fresh on many pet owners’ minds, curiosity about pet food is at an all-time high – and for good reason. Many pet owners lost faith in the pet food industry and have begun producing their own foods from home, while oth-ers have started buying su-per premium pet food.
But the question still lin-gers: What’s the difference? Dr. John Bauer, a professor at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medi-cine & Biomedical Sciences, offers some helpful advice for curious pet owners.
When a pet owner strolls down the pet food aisle, he or she can be daunted by a long row of different pet food brands, all promising the best nutrition for their pet. Some dry-type pet foods may cost 50 cents per pound while others are 80 cents, leaving the pet owner won-dering what miracle ingre-dient is responsible for this increase in price.
The answer is not as sim-ple as one ingredient, Bauer says. It depends on the pet owner and the pet’s specifi c needs. Suffi cient protein, calories and fat are critical aspects for pet food. If a pet does not receive enough pro-tein from its food, over time the animal may suffer from starvation.
“Other effects of lack of suffi cient protein are brit-tle coat, lethargy, liver fail-ure and kidney failure,” he notes. “If the animal does not intake enough fat, scaly skin will develop which will cause irritation and even hair loss. Vitamins must also be ingested by pets in order to stay healthy.
“Each vitamin partici-pates in a certain metabolic
pathway; If the vitamin is not present, the pathway cannot persist,” Bauer said.
Bauer offers this example of a metabolic pathway: if a pet does not receive enough vitamin A, which aids in eye-sight, the pet may become, over time, partially blind.
To keep a pet healthy, pet owners need to make sure their animal is ingesting a complete and balanced diet.
“Most dog foods on the market right now are com-plete and balanced, but the difference lies in the ingre-dients,” he said.
The more expensive pet foods tend to offer higher-quality ingredients and higher-fat contents. The quality of the ingredients can aid in digestibility of the food, but not overall nutrient value of the food. The higher fat count in pre-mium brands ensures that the pet’s daily fat content is met and helps promote an increase in the glossiness of the animal’s coat.
More expensive pet food also goes through more rig-orous testing, which leads to the increase in price. The protocol for these fur-ther tests is set by the As-sociation of American Feed Control Offi cials (AAFCO). Bauer says these products are fed to animals whose health is then monitored. Pet owners can ensure that a pet food is AAFCO certi-fi ed by checking for a small label found on the product, usually in fi ne print.
Some pet owners have grown too overwhelmed with trying to decide what the “‘right” choice is in pet food and have decided to take matters into their own hands by making their own pet food.
Bauer warns that making
pet food is not for the timid. “Making your own pet food
is like being a human vege-tarian: you can be a success-ful vegetarian, but you just have to work a little harder at it,” said Bauer.
One of the problems with making pet food from home is the water content, which can dilute calorie content. Normal dry dog food only has about 10 percent water, while the average home-made dog food can have up to 80 percent. For the pet to still receive the same nutri-tional benefi t from home-made dog food, the pet will have to eat at least three times more homemade food than regular dry food – an expensive effort.
Another problem with homemade food is the un-balancing of the pet’s diet that can cause many own-ers to report pet weight loss
after making the switch. For the best results, owners need to be sure that they fol-low a food formula that has been tested and approved by a trained professional, he says.
With so many different varieties out there, purchas-ing the perfect pet food can be a diffi cult decision.
“The three things I recom-mend thinking about when selecting a suitable pet food are price, approval by nutri-tion testing in accordance to the AAFCO and your per-sonal pet philosophy,” states Bauer. “Many animals will thrive on the cheaper dog food, so your choice depends on the animal and the own-er’s level of satisfaction.”
