GARDENER’S MAILBAG
CLAYTON’S CORNER
BY NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: I have grown roses for years. I’ve gotten used to spraying for black spot, but it seems like last year was the worst. Most of my roses have lost their leaves, including the Knock Outs. Will the plants come back diseased in the spring? Is there any systemic I can put in the ground?
Roses have had black spot for as long as gardeners have grown them. Some varieties are far more susceptible than others, and weekly spraying in spring and fall is a must for those plants. Dr. Steve George of Texas A&M has conducted a great deal of re-search on roses, and he has been identifying the most durable types as EarthKind.
To-date, 19 varieties have been so designated. Knock Out is one of them, but most of the rest are antique roses that date back to 1925 and earlier. While these roses may show black spot, they defi nitely will survive it and keep bouncing back. As for the other types that are far more susceptible, spraying is your main hope. You’ll be us-ing a systemic fungicide, but not one that is applied to the soil. You’ll probably need to spray weekly from the time the fi rst growth begins until mid-June, then you’ll want to resume treatments as tem-peratures fall and rainfall returns in September. Black spot weakens susceptible va-rieties until, in worst cases, the plants eventually die.
■
Dear Neil: Several branch-es have fallen out of our pe-can tree. They seem to have been chewed. What could do that and can we stop it? We bought our house six months ago, and it seems like we’re always picking up limbs.
Pecans, as good as they are,
are notorious for dropping twigs and branches with each passing wind storm. Twig gir-dlers actually cut around the limbs (up to 1 inch in diam-eter) with their mouthparts. Once the branches die, they crack and fall to the ground, larvae inside. The only effec-tive control is to rake and discard the fallen branches. If it looks like more of a jag-ged tearing of the bark from the branch, that’s probably done by squirrels. Other than the humane traps, there is little that you can do legally. The long-term damage to the tree, however, is minimal from both pests.
■
Dear Neil: We have a large oak tree that was planted last spring. Unfortunately, some-where along the line, it devel-oped a list. It’s about 10 de-grees out of vertical now. Can I stake it to straighten it up? How long will I have to leave the stakes in place?
Staking won’t work. As soon as you remove the stakes, even fi ve years from now, the tree will move back
toward its old position. It would be much better if you would dig and reset it care-fully in the next couple of weeks, while it’s still dor-mant. Trees should always be staked immediately after they’re planted, so have the stakes handy this time.
■
Dear Neil: My compost pile doesn’t really seem to be getting very hot. I turned it the other day and saw lots of little insects and caterpillars moving around in it. Will it have organisms I don’t want to add to my garden?
It should be no problem. Anything that’s living there now probably is also in the rest of your landscape and garden already. For the re-cord, however, if you want the pile to heat up, angle it so it gets winter sunlight. Add one cup of lawn fertilizer per cu-bic yard of compost, and turn the pile frequently to keep it well-aerated. Keep it moist at all times, and cover it with a sheet of black plastic fi lm to soak up the sun’s rays. You’ll see steam when you remove
its cover in the winter.■
Dear Neil: Attached is a photo of a perennial dianthus pass-along that I have had for years. It’s a great edging plant, and it’s evergreen year-round. It has beautiful bright magenta blooms each spring. This year for the fi rst time, portions of the plant have died as shown in the photo. I’ve never had any problems. What could be causing this?
I’ve seen the same thing happen occasionally on my own perennial pinks. Once or twice, it’s been from pillbugs chewing on the stems (Sevin dust will control them), and I believe my plants’ problems once were due to something snapping individual stems. Pinks’ stems are brittle, much like their sisters, the fl orist carnations. You might also check for evidence of white grub worms near the root system. If you fi nd them, there’s little point in treating now. They’ve done all of their damage for this year. Your prime treatment time for the next generation would be
mid- to late summer.■

Soil Sampling:We are entering the mid-
dle of winter season - leaves have fallen and lawns are go-ing dormant. What does this mean? Well, for most of us, it means no more mowing or fertilizing until spring. With that being said, it’s a perfect time to take advantage of a very important part of turf management - taking a soil sample!
Unfortunately, most peo-ple in Wise County have
never taken a soil sample. It’s a very easy task and the information obtained from the analysis is vital in cre-ating an environmentally safe nutrient management program for your turfgrass. Without an analysis of your soil, you could be applying nitrates, phosphates and other constituents into your soil that are not required. Furthermore, you could be damaging both the turf and the environment if you use inorganic or organic fertiliz-ers inappropriately.
So, this month, come by the local county extension
offi ce and make the right choice for your turf and your environment - take a soil sample. It is inexpensive and will pay dividends down the road!
For more information on “Soil Sampling,” go to the Aggie-Turf Web site at http://aggie-turf.tamu.edu and click on “News/Publica-tions.”
Water SamplingMany times, you hear
folks talking about taking soil samples in order to ap-ply the correct type and rate of fertilizer for their turf-grass. But should we ana-
lyze our irrigation water as well? The answer is “yes”!
Poor quality water from irrigation wells exists throughout Texas. Some have a high sodium content which can create problems with turf and ornamentals. Water with high pH values may limit nutrient avail-ability in soils and promote certain turf diseases. Other waters may have toxic levels of some chemical constitu-ents. As a result, turfgrass quality can be compromised and additional irrigation from this type of irrigation water will only compound
the problem.A water analysis pro-
vides critical information pertaining to the types and amounts of elements found in your irrigation water. It also provides the necessary information required to de-termine how well suited your water is for outdoor irrigation. So, to put your mind at ease about your wa-ter source, take a sample!
For more information on “Water Sampling,” go to the Aggie-Turf Web site at http://aggie-turf.tamu.edu and click on “News/Publica-tions.”

Wise County cities have received their fi rst sales tax rebates of the new year and four cities, including De-catur, earned less in sales tax than a year ago at this time.
Bridgeport continued to lead the county in rebates but that city’s increase was smaller than it has been in several months with the ex-ception of September 2008 when the city experienced a .6 percent decrease in re-bates.
Bridgeport earned $378,828 in January, a 10- percent increase over Janu-ary 2008. Decatur received $293,995, a 1-percent de-cline from last year at this time.
December state sales tax collections and January al-locations represent sales that occurred in November.

Simpson, Boyd and Pow-ers law fi rm, with offi ces in Bridgeport and Decatur, has announced that Kristy P e s n e l l Campbell and Allen L. Wil-l i a m s o n b e c a m e partners of the fi rm effective Jan. 1.
“Both of these in-dividuals have proven themselves to be extremely effective litiga-tors and we are pleased to add them as partners to the fi rm,” said senior partner Mike Simpson.
Campbell joined the fi rm in May 2003. She is a 2000 graduate of Northwestern State University. She earned her law degree from Texas Tech School of Law, where she was a member and one of the editors on the Legal Research Board and a mem-ber of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity. She is licensed to practice in Texas and the U.S. District Court North-
ern District of Texas. She is a member of the Decatur Junior Women’s Club and Grace Fellowship Church.
She and her hus-band Luke and their son live in Decatur.
“Kristy is one of the hard-est work-ing at-t o r n e y s I know,”
said Simpson. “She puts in long hours and gets results. She is aggressive and intel-ligent. She has a very bright future ahead of her and we are happy that she is on our team.”
Williamson is licensed to practice in Texas, Okla-homa, all Texas federal dis-tricts, the U.S. Court of Ap-peals for the 5th Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. He is board certifi ed in crimi-nal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Last year, he was elected the Wise County Re-

Law firm announces new partnerspublican Party chairman. Since joining the fi rm, he and Derrick Boyd have obtained a $4 million verdict in Jack County. Last summer, the team obtained a $2.5 million verdict in Hobbs, N.M.
Prior to joining the fi rm in 2006, Williamson served as assistant district attorney for Wise and Jack counties and as a adjunct professor at Texas Wesleyan Univer-sity.
Williamson is a 1996 graduate of Texas A&M University and received his
law degree from Texas Wes-leyan School of Law in 1999. He and his wife, Mendee, live in Runaway Bay with their three children. They are members of Grace Fel-lowship Church.
“Allen is the type of lawyer our clients want working for them,” said Boyd. “He and I have had the opportunity to work together in multiple cases since he has been here where our clients have re-ceived a verdict or recovery in the several million dollar range.”

“There’s a great big elec-tricity source up in the sky. Wind. It’s free, non-pollut-ing and endless. But until now only a few could tap into it.”
So says the introduction to the Skystream brochure, touting the benefi ts of pro-ducing electricity in your own backyard.
Called “The iPod of Wind Power,” the Skystream 3.7 residential power appli-ance is the fi rst compact, user-friendly, all inclusive wind generator designed to provide quiet, clean elec-tricity in very low winds. And thanks to custom home builder John Schedcik and Jamie Walther, the appliance is now available in Wise and surrounding counties.
Walther and Schedcik are the owners of Wise Wind-power & Solar, LLC. They are certifi ed for wind power and are in the process of ob-taining their certifi cation to provide solar power.
“A lot of my customers are asking ‘green’ questions,” said Schedcik.
In building environmen-tally friendly homes, Sched-cik wanted to be able to of-fer clean, affordable energy and now he and Walther are ready to offer that locally. Many of their customers are ranchers looking for a way to reduce energy bills.
Minimum space require-ment for the Skystream is one-half acre.
Walther points out that the Skystream is “extremely quiet” and in addition, has a sleek appearance, with its swept-wing blades.
“There are no guy wires,” he said. “It has a very slick appearance and is pleasant to look at.”
The tower is 55-feet tall and tip to tip, the appliance is 12-feet in diameter.
The 2.4 kw appliance has advanced blade and vibra-tion technology that assures the unit always produces energy effi ciently and qui-etly. Skystream is the fi rst wind-powered, grid-con-nected residential appliance that produces electricity for less than the retail rate of

If you are going to show a lamb at the Wise County Youth Fair and will have it for a project, you need to start working with it early.
When leading your lamb during a show, you are not supposed to use a halter. Some show/judges will al-low you to use a halter, but it is preferred that you do not use one.
You can’t just expect your lamb to go into the show ring knowing how to be led without its halter, so you must train it to do so. In order to do this, pick a day
when you have nothing bet-ter to do (what’s better than sheep?) and get your lamb out. Practice nothing but leading without the halter.
When leading your lamb, place one hand under its chin near the jaw line and your other hand on the back of your lamb’s head, right below the ears. Using slight pressure, gently pull on your lamb’s head in the direction you would like to go. If your lamb will not walk when you are leading it, take your hand off of its head and tap or squeeze the lamb’s dock. This is slightly uncomfort-able to the lamb and will cause him to move. Howev-er, some lambs, particularly
wild ones, may jump into the air instead of moving forward when their docks are touched. Never let go if they jump. This will only teach the lamb that when he jumps he gets loose. If you are unable to control your lamb when it jumps, you can try to straddle your lamb to prevent him from jumping altogether.
Depending on your size and the size of the lamb, straddle your lamb so that you are standing right over his shoulders. Then, hold onto his head like you nor-mally would and start walk-ing while still straddling him. If he stops, reach for the dock. When he jumps,
you’ll be on top of him, pre-venting him from getting away and coming off the ground. Another advantage to straddling your lamb is that you can use your legs to prevent it from running forward or backward. If your lamb starts to run, all you have to do is squeeze your legs around the lamb and it can’t get away. It’s easier if you use a stick or long object to tap the dock when you’re in this position, or you can have someone else stand behind you and do the tapping. Keep work-ing with your lamb in this way until you don’t have to touch the dock at all or very little.

A mature redfi sh is built like a torpedo with a boat paddle tail. A brute of a fi sh, a mature or “Bull Red” as the big females are called, is one of the hardest fi ghting fi sh in salt water and beyond ques-tion, the hardest fi ghting of all fi sh in freshwater.
Granted, redfi sh (red drum) are not native to freshwater lakes. Several years ago, Tex-as Parks and Wildlife began an aggressive stocking pro-gram on a few power plant freshwater reservoirs in Tex-as. The top two largest fresh-water redfi sh in the state came from Fairfi eld and, after
fi shing the lake with guide Cory Vinson and my friend, outdoors writer Bob Hood, I can testify that the big fi sh are on a good bite.
Vinson headquarters his “Guaranteed Guide Service” at Richland Chambers, tar-geting the trophy hybrid stripers, catfi sh and white bass there during the warm water months. When the weather gets cold, and the power plant at Fairfi eld be-gins heating the water to temperatures up to around 80 degrees near the hot wa-ter discharge, he takes his cli-ents on what is very often the fi shing trip of their lifetime

Recently, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommended screenings for women for depression and other “psychosocial risk factors” during prenatal care. This suggestion is made based on the fact that, while postpartum suicide is rare, it is important that women be aware of factors that increase its risk. Recent research shows that new mothers who have a history of depression or other mental disorders appear more likely than other women to attempt suicide soon after giving birth. Researchers found that women with a history of mental disorder were 27 times more likely to attempt suicide in the year after giving birth. Women should assess their mental fi tness for motherhood just as they evaluate their physical
ability to be mothers.
We are committed to helping women stay healthy and deliver healthy babies. If you are expecting, or planning to have a baby, our practice offers excellent, high quality care and many services for the soon to be mom. For additional information about today’s column, call WISE OBSTETRICS &

to do battle with these hard fi ghting redfi sh.
Live perch or smaller tila-pia caught with a cast net are top baits for catching redfi sh at Fairfi eld, but Vinson says Rat L Traps and soft plastics also account for good num-bers of these hard-fi ghting fi sh. On the trip, we used small live perch for bait, us-ing balloons to drift the bait-fi sh away from the boat. As we watched the wind push four baited lines away from our boat, I glanced at the thermometer on the boat’s console and checked the wa-ter temperature; 70 degrees and we were a good half mile from the mouth of the hot wa-ter discharge channel.
There are some submerged humps in this section of the lake. There will be tons of smaller reds in the 80 degree water closer to the hot water canal, but the bigger reds like to hang out around the edges of these humps. Most of the strikes come as the bait drifts over the submerged ledges. Steam was hanging heavy on the water and at a distance at not much over 30 yards, it was necessary to look hard to see the brightly colored bal-loons. Reels were put in free-spool, the drags set lightly and clickers were engaged.
“When a big red takes a bait it will hit it like a freight train,” Vinson said. “These fi sh don’t fool around. Just grab the rod from the holder, engage the reel and hang on, that’s all you will be able to do. Reds make long, power-ful runs and it usually takes 10 minutes or more for the rod and reel’s drag to tire the fi sh.”
Vinson’s roomy Falcon guide boat drifted silently through the heavy fog. The setting was much like an old English horror fi lm; you know, one depicting a foggy night in London where the mist is so
thick it seems one could cut it with a knife. The balloons trailed along, bobbing and weaving by the movement of the boat and wind. The hap-less baitfi sh, suspended a few feet under the balloons, darted about nervously below the surface. The setting was somewhat surreal, our talk of catching big ones and fi shing trips past had died down and we were all watching the bal-loons, somewhat in a trance created by the enveloping fog and tranquil sound of water slapping the side of the boat.
Then it happened. The reel closest to me began scream-ing and instinctively, I jerked it from its holder, cranked the handle and was re-intro-duced to the sheer power of a big redfi sh. As I watched the fi sh make its fi rst long run, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hood engaged in mortal combat with another big red.
“These reds run in schools and multiple hook ups are common. We seldom hook just one fi sh from a school,” Vinson said as he grabbed the net and stood by, ready to bring the big fi sh in the boat. It had been a long time since I had fought a fi sh with the strength of this one and I enjoyed every second of the battle. The redfi sh would make a long run, stop and I would crank fast, regaining a few yards of line, then he would run again. After about 10 minutes (but what seemed like 30), the fi sh came boat-side and bore down to bot-tom. I kept as much tension on the rod as I dared but he simply would not budge. Af-ter one last, shorter run, my redfi sh fi nally passed close enough to the boat’s gunwale for Vinson to scoop it up with the big landing net.
“That’s a good one, prob-ably 18 pounds or so,” Vinson said as he heaved it into the boat.
A redfi sh, with its hues of
Continued from 8 blue, red and gold, is a strik-ingly beautiful creature. This one had a total of four spots on and near its tail.
My battle was fought but Hood’s was still raging. The runs made by my buddy’s fi sh were longer and, after 10 minutes or so, his fi sh was still full of fi ght and showed no indication of coming to the net.
Then it happened. The line suddenly went slack; the fi sh had broken off, probably cut the leader with its sharp teeth.
“Man, I would have liked to put my hands on that fi sh but the fi ght was worth the trip, those things can really pull,” said a smiling Hood as he reeled in his line to re-rig if for the next fi sh. Vinson and his clients catch a lot of big redfi sh and he was positive the fi sh that had just broke off was about as big as they get.
During the course of the morning, we enjoyed several more line sizzling runs, sipped coffee and talked about an upcoming goose hunt on the winter wheat fi elds in the area. Then, we motored close
to the mouth of the hot water discharge channel and with a few throws of the cast net, Vinson netted several good eating tilapia. They would go well with our meal of black-ened redfi sh later that eve-ning back at one of the guides’ rental cabins at Richland Chambers. Vinson said the trophy redfi sh season usually lasts through mid March and a bit longer during years with late winter cold fronts.
Guide Cory Vinson can be contacted at (469) 867-4299 or online at www.nofi shno-charge.com.
Outdoor tip of the week — Crappie fi shing has been good on many lakes and my guide buddies tell me the fi sh are not necessarily relating to submerged brush and struc-ture as they do during the warm water months. Look for heavy concentrations of shad on your sonar, usually in the deepest water of the reser-voir you are fi shing. Small live minnows or jigs rigged in tandem are top winter baits. Most fi sh come from within a couple of feet of bottom, below the schools of baitfi sh.

According to the Ameri-can Psychiatric Association “one-third of Americans are living with extreme stress, and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) believe that their stress has increased over the past fi ve years. Stress is taking it’s toll on people - con-tributing to health problems, poor re-lationships and lost productivity at work.”
Some short-term stress can be positive, causing us to deal constructively with daily problems or meet chal-lenges or deadlines. But, when stress remains long-term - chronically or contin-uously - it can be damaging both emotionally and physi-cally.
What can be done about stress in our lives? First, identify what is causing the stress. Take time to really think about what causes your stress. Consider wheth-er your stressors are:■ major or minor (e.g., lost
keys or lost job),■ temporary or perma-
nent (e.g., giving a speech or a poor marriage relation-ship),■ relational (e.g., uncom-
fortable living situation or stressful work relationship), or■ internal (e.g., unrealis-
tic expectations or low self-esteem or self criticism).
Once you identify the cause(s), it may be easier to choose strategies to help al-leviate the stress. Below are fi ve approaches that may help.
■ When you need to deal with stress on the spot, try these strategies: count to 10 before you speak; take 3-5 slow, deep breaths; go for a walk; say “I’m sorry” if you make a mistake; and begin
the day by break-ing bigger problems down into smaller ones.■ The healthier
you are, the bet-ter able you are to manage stress. Try to get 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Exer-cise not only helps you get in shape,
but it also helps you relieve pent up tension, sleep bet-ter and burn up some of the chemicals that are released with the bodily response to stress. It is also important to get enough sleep. Regard-less of age, most adults need about eight hours of restful sleep a night.■ Eat a healthy diet. A
healthy diet includes lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, as well as choosing lean meats and eating less refi ned sugar, processed foods and saturated fats.■ Have a healthy atti-
tude. Changing the way you think can help you manage stress. Most people who are resilient to stress do two im-portant things: they focus on immediate issues - what needs to be done right now; and they have an optimistic explanatory style - assum-ing their troubles are tem-porary (“I’m tired today”) rather than permanent (“I’m washed up”), specifi c (“I have a bad habit”) rath-er than universal (“I’m a bad person”), and crediting themselves when things go right, while externalizing their failures (“That was a
tough audience,” not “I gave a wretched speech”). Find enjoyment in life. Doing things you enjoy is a natu-ral way to fi ght stress. Try to fi nd one thing to do each day
that you enjoy - even if it’s just for 15 minutes.■ Avoid controllable
stressors, like saying “no thank you” to a stressful gathering. Communicate by
listening, smiling, admitting wrong, giving compliments and expressing thoughts and concerns assertively. Seek resolution by being willing to negotiate, com-
promise or seek outside help(mediation or counsel).
