MINI BULL RUN — The mini bull riders had a better night than most of the professionals at J.W. Hart PBR Challenge in Decatur Saturday.
Boudreaux Campbell, 11, of Plantersville, held on to finish third in the event.
Bull speed ahead
Riders found quite a challenge at J.W. Hart PBR
By BRANDON EVANS
Aaron Pass, 21, of Hillsboro held on
through two rough rounds to clench first
place overall in the seventh annual J.W.
Hart PBR at the Wise County Sheriff’s
Posse Arena in Decatur.
The bulls proved tougher than most of
the riders Saturday night. After cycling
through 47 riders, only eight managed to
score. Cloven hooves danced dangerously
across the sand as the bulls spun like
whirling dervishes. The 1,500 pound behemoths
bucked off the rugged riders again
and again.
“They brought in some tough bulls,” said
Andrew Rottner, one of the event coordinators.
Riding Mr. Personality, Pass scored 82
in the first round, putting him in seventh.
Douglas Duncan, 23, of Alvin won the first
round with a score of 88.
Pass sealed the win with a score of 91
in the championship round taking home
purse of $4,568.20 for 16 seconds of work.
Pass is currently ranked 53rd in the
world.
Mike Lee, 26, of Decatur, was the only
local in Saturday’s PBR.
Lee, one of the top 10 riders in the world,
failed to score. A chocolate-colored bull
named Lil Red Cat tossed him into the red
dirt right out of the chute.
“I just got a bad start,” Lee said. “Somehow
my foot ended up on the back of
his neck, and that’s never a good way to
start.”

Fire consumes vacant mobile home
By BRANDON EVANS
A fire destroyed a mobile home in the 100 block of
righton Oaks Drive Monday afternoon in southern
ise County.
Boyd, Rhome and Newark fire departments reponded,
but the home burned quickly in the afteroon
heat.
A man was burning brush on his family’s property
hen the fire skipped to a trailer home several feet
way. The home was uninhabited, and no one was injured.
“My son put some livestock in here and was trying
to burn some brush,” said Tim Bradberry, who owns
the property. “He walked away for a minute, and all of
a sudden flames were coming out of the home.”
His son, Jimmy Lee Bradberry, uses the land to

The city of Bridgeport has terminated
employees following an internal
investigation.
According to a press release sent
to the Wise County Messenger Monday
evening, the city of Bridgeport
launched an internal investigation
May 19 when instances of city employee
misconduct were brought to
light.
“We had some improprieties going
on that we discovered, and we
turned it over to the police department,”
said Mayor Keith McComis.
“There were some employees terminated,
and some employees we put
on leave.”
McComis said that because the
investigation is ongoing, he was unable
to provide more information.

Gindt said the district’s reputation
for excellence drew him to the

“I was interested from the standpoint
that the district’s been very
successful in everything they’ve
done, whether it’s academics or
planning for growth. Everything is
first-class,” he said.
Northwest Superintendent Karen
Rue said Gindt’s experience as superintendent
will be valuable.
“We are excited to welcome Gary

fire was accidental. The fire had been logged
with the county.
In a nearby pen, the pigs wallowed in the
mud and shade as the mobile home burned to
the ground.
Tim Bradberry didn’t appear sad about the
loss either. The mobile home wasn’t even his.
He rented the space out several years to tenants
who brought the trailer in. Two years ago
they simply abandoned it, and he’s been trying
to get rid of it.
Since it’s been abandoned he’s had problem
with people breaking into the home.
“I thought I had a guy who wanted to take
it out of here, but I doubt he’s going to want it
now,” he said.
Despite the home being surrounded by
post oaks on two sides, volunteer firefighters
worked during the hottest afternoon of the
year so far and kept the flames from spreading
into the adjacent woods.

Teenagers marched around the
Wise Hope Shelter and Crisis Center
grounds in Bridgeport Friday
morning like ants on a hill.
Young women carried various
children’s toys out of the front door,
while other groups raked leaves and
clipped bushes in the front yard. A
line of young men and women filed
between a brush pile and the back
yard, where Decatur High School
senior Brandon Jones clipped bamboo
stalks along the tall fence.
Meanwhile, Ronnie McIlroy, director
of client services, watched with
hands on her hips as a vacant building
next to the house was demolished.
“We have needed this for a long
time,” she said.
About 80 students volunteered
to assist with various projects at
the shelter Friday and Saturday,
including students with Decatur
and Bridgeport SkillsUSA and Decatur
Students Against Destructive
Decisions. Several businesses from
around the county also stepped in
and donated supplies, equipment
and labor.

ASK ME IF I CARE — Arnulfo Lira, 16, does care. The sophomore with
Decatur High School SkillsUSA volunteered his Friday to landscaping and
other projects at the Wise Hope Shelter and Crisis Center in Bridgeport. Lira
was one of about 80 students working at the shelter Friday.
Ricky Stutt with Decatur SkillsUSA
organized the community service
project, volunteering to demolish
the building, clean the interior
and exterior of the shelter and build
a 90-foot privacy fence. The slab of
the demolished building will serve
as part of a parking lot, and Stutt is
planning to order asphalt to provide
additional parking for the shelter.
“We’ve been working with Wise
Hope Center for about three years
now,” Stutt said. SkillsUSA built
crosses for the organization to put
on display at The Pit in Decatur.
“We asked them what they needed
to do, and these are the things that
came up.”
Stutt rarely slowed down long
enough to talk while on site. On Friday,
he had the fortunate problem of
having more than enough help. His
bright yellow shirt was a beacon in
a sea of teens, attracting students in
need of direction.
But Stutt’s humor was present
throughout the day. After a group of
students came back with an empty
trailer, having just dumped debris,
Stutt asked the young men to go
back and load what they had just
unloaded. He had been informed
that the trash bin was too full.
“Yeah, life sucks, you’ll be OK,” he
told the students, leaving them with
a smile on their faces as he walked
off to give more instructions.
Joshua Garn, 18, and Ethan Webb,
17, with Decatur SkillsUSA were on
site before sunrise Friday, arriving
early to prepare the building for demolition.

Alcohol petition drive begins
Decatur voters will be
given the opportunity to
update the city’s alcoholic
beverage laws in November
if a current petition drive is
successful.
Decatur now allows the
sale of beer and wine for offpremises
consumption. The
cities of Bridgeport, Newark,
Rhome and New Fairview
allow the sale of all alcoholic
beverages for off-premises
consumption.
In Decatur, one of the
three petitions being circulated
would extend the area
that beer and wine could be
sold to areas annexed into
the city since the last election
in 2003.
“From an economic development
standpoint, this is
very important,” said Roy
Eaton, chairman of the Decatur
Economic Development
Corporation. “Several
of the areas annexed over
the past seven years are
prime locations for new
grocery stores, restaurants
and drug stores, but under
the current law, they would
not be able to sell beer and
wine.”
Both of Decatur’s largest
grocery stores, Walmart and
IGA Marketplace, sell beer
and wine as do many of the
convenience stores in the
city. The ability to sell alcoholic
beverages is a key factor
when new grocery and
drug stores are considering
locating in a city, Eaton said.
The planned CVS pharmacy
is in an area where beer and
wine sales already are allowed.
Another petition, being
backed by Chili’s and other
restaurants, would do away
with the private club membership
requirement for restaurants
with food and beverage
certificates.
“It’s a matter of convenience
for our customers,”
said Chris Allen, manager of
the Decatur Chili’s. Restaurants
and the Decatur Civic
Center must keep detailed

Bull speed ahead ...
Continued from page 1A
He came into the arena on the
heels of a first-place finish at the
Des Moines Invitational, May 1.
Lee ranks ninth in the 2010 Built
Ford Tough Series PBR standings.
Out of 20 rodeos, he’s racked up
more than $94,000 and finished
in the top 10 in 50 percent of the
events. He’s earned more than
$2.7 million during his career and
won the world championship in
2004.
Lee is 2,478.75 points behind
leader Renato Nunes of Brazil.
The PBR world finals will take
place Oct. 20-24 in Las Vegas.
Despite the thrills of bull riding,
the J.W. Hart PBR serves a bigger
purpose.
“This is one of the few rodeo
events that does this for charity,”
Rottner said. “When we started
this, no one else was doing it. We’ve
been kind of a trendsetter.”
The total raised this year is not
yet tallied.
“Our goal was to raise $25,000
for the United Way of Wise County,”
Rottner said. “We shouldn’t
have a problem getting to that
number.”
The event has also raised money
for the Rider Relief Fund, Wise Regional
Hospital Fund, Habitat for
Humanity and others.
Since its inception, the rodeo has
generated $270,000 for charities,
Rottner said.
J.W. Hart, a retired bull rider
from Oklahoma, started the rodeo
in Gainesville.
“J.W. Hart came to us seven
years ago,” said Roy Young, an
event coordinator. “Gainesville
didn’t seem like they wanted to do
it. So we put it on. It was a success,
and it raised a lot of money.
We didn’t know what to do with it
so we called Martin Woodruff (executive
director of United Way of

Invitational.
Wise County).”
They’ve raised money for United
Way every year since. Funds are
gathered through ticket sales,
concessions, parking and sponsorships.
Rottner said all the volunteers
and sponsors help make the event
successful every year.
During a break in the bull-riding
action, a sentimental moment
graced the well-trodden arena.
Four children, all dealing with
varying degrees of severe physical
disabilities, rode in on horseback.
The children, some focused intently
just to balance on the backs of
their horses, circled the entire ring
to a round of applause.
The children are riders with the
All Star Equestrian Foundation, a
non-profit therapeutic equine facility
in Mansfield.
“The fans were on their feet the
entire time they were out there,”
Rottner said. “It was the hearttouching
moment of the event. It
shows just the kind of people we
have around here.”

More burglars striking in daylight
By MANDY BOURGEOIS
In the movies, burglars often wait until nighttime to
break into a home.
“It’s not like the movies,” said Dan Williams with Hawk
Electronics in Fort Worth. “Most burglaries happen between
10 a.m. and noon.”
Williams has received a lot of business from Wise County
residents in the recent months, and for good reason. In Decatur,
residential burglaries are up and the county has seen
an increase in daytime burglaries.
“Since January, we’ve had 30 burglaries,” Sheriff David
Walker said. “Eighteen of those have been during the daytime.”
Walker said that the perpetrators have changed, as well.
“A lot of people doing these burglaries are not our normal
hometown folks. They’re coming from Tarrant County and
Dallas County.”
Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins is seeing the same
trend.
“In the last quarter (of 2009), we probably had 11 burglaries
that happened between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. It’s a lot for
us. We average, between residential and business burglaries,
about 23 a year,” he said, adding that in 2009, the city
reported 30 burglaries.
Hoskins points to a common factor in many of the residential
burglaries in Decatur — “there was no forced entry.”
“They either found an unlocked door or an unlocked window,”
he said.
Throughout the
county, electronics
are the target — flatscreen
televisions,
computers and game
consoles.
Walker and
Hoskins both described
a similar approach
to burglary.
WALKER HOSKINS
“They walk up and
knock on the door,
and if no one answers, they kick the door in,” Walker said.
In the last eight months, Williams has installed 107 security
systems in and around Decatur. He recently installed
systems in more than half of the homes in Reatta Estates
after recent burglaries. He said that 20 to 25 percent of the
people who request security systems do so after they’ve
been burglarized, or after a neighbor has been burglarized.
Williams said that business has thrived in Wise County
communities and in the metro areas.
“It’s everywhere, not just Wise County,” he said. “Rural
areas and neighborhoods – burglaries are random. There’s
no rhyme or reason.”
The sheriff’s department is working hard to make the
most of their deputy coverage in the county.
“We’ve flooded several areas that we’ve had issues with.
We try to move our resources out on the road and try to be
the first line of defense,” Walker said. “Obviously, we don’t
have enough deputies to be on every corner.”
With that in mind, he encourages people to report suspicious
activity.
“We want them to call in anything they think is suspicious,”
Walker said. “It’s just making sure that all the neighbors
are as vigilant as we are, whether they think it’s small
or not. Something little may turn into something big.”
Hoskins recommends that people lock their doors and
windows. Also, serial numbers for electronics and guns
should be recorded so that in the case of a burglary, the
numbers can be used to track stolen items.
Bridgeport Police Chief Randy Singleton said that Bridgeport
has not seen an increase in burglaries.

NORTHWEST
Board approves employee raises
1401 Halsell • Bridgeport
940-683-1704
By MANDY BOURGEOIS
The Northwest School
Board approved a compensation
plan for the 2010-
2011 school year, giving
employees a 2.5-percent
increase from the midpoint
for each paygrade, as well
as increasing the starting
salary for teachers with no
experience to $48,200. Last
year, the district offered
$47,500 to new teachers.
Board trustee Davis
Palmer said that he hopes
the raise will highlight the
board’s appreciation for the
district’s teachers.
“Hopefully our employees
know how much we prize
the value of the employees
that we have,” he said.
The board also heard a report
on the career and technology
programs, focusing
on a first year review of the
district’s three academies.
The district debuted the
Academy of Media Arts
and Technology and Science,
Technology, Engineering
and Math (STEM) at
Northwest High School and
the Academy of Medical
Professionals at Byron Nelson
High School this school
year.
The academies are fouryear
programs in which
students focus on career
knowledge and skills.
In their first year, the
academies boast attendance
rates higher than
the overall high school attendance
rate and high retention
rates. The STEM
beginning enrollment of 90
decreased to 76 at the end
of the school year, the Academy
of Medical Professionals
beginning enrollment of
110 decreased to 106 and
the Academy of Media Arts
enrollment of 97 decreased
to 89.
Director of career and
technology education Tony
Neely said 237 of the students
in the academies also
participate in other electives,
ranging from athletics
to fine arts. Sixteen
freshmen in the BNHS attendance
zone attend academies
at Northwest High
School, while 21 students
in the NHS attendance
zone attend the Academy of
Medical Professionals.
In other business, the
board reorganized, electing
Mark Schluter president,
Mel Fuller vice president
and Josh Wright secretary.

“All the shingles had to be taken off — we
just wanted to make sure it was done,” Webb
said.
Garn and Webb agreed that their volunteer
labor was a benefit for the shelter.
“It helps them because it gives them more
space and more privacy,” Garn said. “It gets
me out of school and gives me a chance to
give back.”
“Instead of getting paid, you get that good
feeling at the end,” Webb added.
Ben Blattner and Erik Elder, both 15 and
with SADD, worked on clearing dead foliage
from the thick bamboo along the back fence.
SADD worked on several projects in Bridgeport
Friday, stopping at the center to lend
SkillsUSA a hand.
“It’s good to help people who can’t help
themselves,” Elder said. “It makes you feel
good about doing something for somebody
out of the kindness of your heart.”
Marisol Banuelos with Decatur SkillsU-
SA said that the cleaning efforts made the
shelter more comfortable.
“It makes it feel more like a home,” she
said. “I’m just excited to be here and help

out and make sure (other students) have
fun while they’re here.”
Executive director Pat Slayton echoed
Banuelos’ statement.
“It makes it seem more like home. (Clients)
are here while they heal. When they
come here, they are depressed. This will
make it more like a home while they look
at their resources to get out and live a violence-free
life,” she said.
Slayton said the work by the volunteers
allowed the shelter to do things they would
not be able to afford. Slayton also thanked
Wise Hope board member Richard Streller
and the city of Bridgeport for waiving permit
fees.
“The building was not usable and we have
received bids of $10,000 to take it away,”
she said. “The fact that it’s going to get done
so quickly with so many organizations involved
is just amazing.
“Ricky Stutt has taken it and run. It’s just
better than we could have hoped for. It’s
such a blessing.”

6A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, May 27, 2010
OPINION
OUR VIEWS
College-bound students: home is never far away
By KRISTEN TRIBE
I didn’t cry at my high school
graduation.
You laugh, but I know people who
did.
Not me.
I was ready to go.
Like many local seniors preparing
to graduate within the next week, I
was ready to spread my wings outside
the confines of Wise County.
It was time to exchange my Alvord
High letter jacket for a 12th
Man towel at Texas A&M University.
And I couldn’t wait.
I was leaving behind a class of 28
to join a group of 6,000 peers, just in
the freshman class. A place where I
knew no one.
Luckily, it didn’t take long, and I
found myself surrounded by a great
group of friends. We stood proudly
at football games together, took
pride in finding the cheapest places
to eat and kept each other out of
trouble – or in trouble – depending
on the day.
Sure, I missed the comfort
of my parents and
sister, but College Station
was feeling more and more
like home.
Not long after the spring
semester started my freshman
year, I was in a minor
accident. It didn’t involve a
car, but an Aerobie, which
is similar to a frisbee with
a hole in the middle.
My friends and I were playing a
good, old-fashioned game of keep
away. No points were involved,
just throwing the Aerobie back and
forth, trying to prevent the other
team from grabbing it.
As the Aerobie glided to the
ground, I saw an opportunity to
seize it and sprinted toward the
disc. The problem was,
one of my friends on the
opposing team had the
same idea and ran toward
the Aerobie from the other
side of the field.
My plan was to run by
and scoop it up without
ever stopping. Her plan
– the same.
I kept thinking she
would stop. I thought she
TRIBE
would see me coming and
chicken out.
She didn’t.
We arrived at the Aerobie at the
exact same moment. She went low
for the disc about the time I slipped
on the wet grass, and we crashed.
We were a tangled disaster, but
essentially, my face smashed into
the top of her head.
The result: one super-fat lip and a
chipped tooth.
By the next day, I looked like the
loser of a fist fight, and it was obvious
my tooth needed repair.
Suddenly, home seemed really
far away. In my mind, there was
no dentist in College Station that
would do.
I needed Dr. Fred Renfro, the
man who pulled my first tooth, to
fix this. I was convinced he was the
one and only dentist that would do
it right.
After I made a flying trip home
one Friday, he did. Dr. Renfro was
kind enough to meet me at his office
that night after the high school
basketball game and repair it.
Despite my independence and effort
to start a new life, my fat lip
made me realize the value of home
and the people here, not just my
parents, but all those who shaped
me, even if the circumstances were
silly.
Graduates, as you happily depart
Wise County in the coming weeks,
with dust boiling up behind your
back tires, know that everyone here
– your parents, teachers, preachers,
youth ministers, doctors, dentists
and the like – are cheering you on
and wishing you well.
But they’ll also be ready when
times are tough to temporarily welcome
you back, to hug your neck
– or fix the tooth – then send you
back, recharged and ready to conquer
your new world.

Thanks for
devotion to veterans
This is merely a humble thank you owed to a true
American, Ms. Laura Spain.
While words can never express my sincere appreciation,
I must take the time to recognize a truly
caring, dedicated and committed professional.
Ms. Laura Spain was the only individual that took
the time to educate, and assist me with my Veteran
Affairs issues/concerns. I visited, called and e-mailed
several offices and individuals, all of which were
either too busy, had no idea or just did not care.
The wealth of information and advice Ms. Spain
provided, as well as the connections she shared were
invaluable. Ms. Spain’s expertise and aid have been
extremely useful and crucial during this process.
I am truly grateful to Ms. Spain and wish there was
something more that could be done for this devoted
patriot. I salute Ms. Spain and wish her Godspeed.

All seniors
to receive diploma
On June 4, Boyd High School’s class of 2010 will
be graduating. This class has a special distinction for
which they deserve praise. In 2003, the state began
requiring students to pass the TAKS test to graduate.
Every year since, there have been Boyd High School
seniors that have completed their coursework but not
received a diploma at graduation.
Not this year.
I am very proud to announce that every member
of the class of 2010 will graduate. If you know any
Boyd High School seniors, please take the time to
congratulate them. This really is a very special group
of young men and women that represent the Boyd
community with pride.
The graduation ceremony will be at 7 p.m. Friday,
June 4, in the Weatherford High School auditorium.
Our special guest speaker will be former Boyd High
School principal Mr. Jerry Howard. With the new
school opening, this night will mark the end of an era
at Boyd High School and the beginning of an exciting
future. The class of 2010 would be honored with your
attendance.

Politician
proved point
For a short few days the Tea Party was all agog,
crowing and preening over the ascension and primary
victory of their favorite Kentucky dentist. Then
he opened his mouth and let his deepest ideals and
standards flow forth.
Rand Paul actually thought he was sufficiently
prepared to cross political intellectual swords with
Rachel Maddow. His stumbling words and facial expressions
revealed a man who had come to an intellectual
hatchet-fight armed with a pen knife.
In so doing, Paul exposed the true nature of the
Tea Party and revealed the true depth of its bigotry.
I suggest the rest of us call them the TPaliban for
their clearly bigoted and fundamentalist religious
roots and the society they clearly seek to establish in
America.
Even if one truly feels that way, it is sheer idiocy
for a politician wannabe in 2010 America to criticize

By WILLIS WEBB
Time takes care of many things.
Sometimes it’s even kind.
It has placed Harry S. Truman on
the list of exceptional presidents
in U.S. history.
Like many who held that
office, he was reviled during
his tenure and for some
period after leaving office.
Truman had less formal
education than most presidents
of the last century, but
he was a voracious reader
and obviously very intelligent.
Today’s mood in the U.S. is
troubling. There is much hatred expressed,
a great deal rooted in racial
or religious intolerance.
One Truman remark seemed
particularly fitting and, in true HST
tradition, to the point: “Religious and
racial persecution is moronic at all
times, perhaps the most idiotic of human
stupidities.”
“When I was president, many
people advised me not to raise the
whole question of civil rights. They
said it would make things worse.
But you can’t cure a moral problem
by ignoring it.” (Italic emphasis by
OTHER VIEWS
We’d be wise to listen to President Truman
the writer). “It is no service to the
country to turn away from the hard
problems — to ignore injustice and
human suffering. It is simply not the
American way of doing things.”
Truman always identified
with regular folks — little
fellows, underdogs, someone
without advantages.
He had an opinion on
everything and, when asked,
would share his thoughts.
Truman said of Abraham
Lincoln: “Lincoln was just
himself, and that’s the sort of
man I admire.”
WEBB
Of Calvin Coolidge: “The
man got more rest than any
previous president.”
Truman said of then Vice President
Richard Nixon: “Mr. Nixon lacks the
moral sensitivity which the occupant
of the White House should possess...
he is impetuous, quick to act, rash
and on occasion his conduct is irresponsible.
He is a dangerous man.
Never has there been one like him so
close to the presidency. A mean, nasty
fellow. I don’t like Nixon and I never
will.”
His only asset when he died was
the house in which he and his wife
lived in Independence, Mo. When
Truman left office, there was no such
thing as a pension, much less allowances
for some staff, an office and
office supplies as there is now.
Truman’s retirement consisted of
an Army pension, by today’s standards
much less than today’s poverty
level. Some in Congress learned he
was paying for his own stamps and
applying them himself. He was granted
an allowance and later a pension,
which was retroactive to the time he
left office. Truman and his wife, Bess,
drove themselves to their home, without
a Secret Service detail.
Contrary to today’s practices, he
refused large salaries to enter the
corporate world. Truman’s reason
was, “You don’t want me. You want
the office of the President, and that
doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to the
people, and it’s not for sale.”
So strong was his belief that, when
he was designated by Congress to receive
a medal, he declined once more,
saying, “I don’t consider that I have
done anything which should be the
reason for any award, Congressional
or otherwise.”
Modern-day presidents become
wealthy after leaving office, if they

records of club memberships to be able to sell alcoholic beverages
legally.
Mayor Joe Lambert said the food sales requirements
would continue to prohibit bars in the city.
Another petition would allow the sale of all alcoholic beverages
for off-premises consumption. That would allow liquor
stores similar to those in Bridgeport and Rhome to
operate in Decatur.
“It’s important for the sales tax revenue on alcoholic beverages
to stay in Decatur,” Lambert said. “The city and state
have ordinances in place to make sure that such stores are
not close to churches and schools, and since the beer and
wine election in 2003, there have been no problems.”
Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins said there has been no
change in crime statistically since alcohol sales were legalized
in the city in 2003. Driving while intoxicated arrests
are down a little, he said, while public intoxication arrests
are up slightly.
But it is primarily private clubs, and not retail sales, that
have fueled those arrests, Hoskins said, along with nonresident
drivers coming through Wise County.
“I don’t think it will make a difference one way or the
other,” he said of the proposed changes.
Longtime civic leader Patti Gage has agreed to help with
the petition drive to secure the required 384 signatures.
Gage was instrumental in getting signatures for the 2003
election.
Under state law, only registered voters in the Decatur
city limits can sign the petitions. The petitions were issued
Monday, and when they are complete, the signatures must
be verified by Wise County Elections Administrator Lannie
Noble before county commissioners can call the election.
Commissioners must call the election before the end of
August for the matter to be on the November general election
ballot.

weren’t before, and reap the harvest
that can come with having been the
White House occupant.
Truman opposed national primaries
to choose presidential candidates.
“A national primary would force
a candidate to raise a huge sum of
money in order to tour the country
and make his good points known,”
Truman said. “No poor man or even
one fairly well-fixed could finance a
national campaign. The money would
have to be raised and contributed by
the wealthy and the special interests.
The nominee would become obligated
to contributors, and that would not be
good for the country.”
And, President Harry Truman
would despise today’s lack of bipartisanship:
“It has been my experience in
public life that there are few problems
which cannot be worked out, if
we make a real effort to understand
the other fellow’s point of view, and if
we try to find a solution on the basis
of give-and-take, of fairness to both
sides.”
Truman also said, “Never use two
words when one will do best.”
Amen.

Paul even called the
Obama administration “un-

that BP be held accountable
for the Gulf of Mexico oilspill
disaster, including payment
of billions of dollars in
damages.
Furthermore, Paul’s soulmate,
Sen. Lisa Murkowski
of Alaska, wants a government
bailout of BP and a

the “first five days” of their
Gulf of Mexico oil spill. I
suggest that both of them

and fed him scraps.
Then I was stuck with
him. He was destroying my

animal control to check him
for a microchip, but he tried

an Arlington-based, nonprofit

been working to convince
the city of Arlington to build

The organization was
named after a 15-year-old
who was hit and killed by
a car while walking to an
unauthorized skating spot.
The organization continues
to pressure the city to push
the project forward.

37 hits.
“He did a real good job and improved
every outing,” Leps said.
“His record was not indicative of
how he pitched. He kept us in a lot
of tight games that we won late. He
had multiple games of double-digit
strikeouts.”
Waldrep said he pitched with more
confidence this season and had better
control.
“It was a good year,” he said. “Last
year, I was not very accurate. This
year, I got my curveball to work better
and in for strikes.”
Throwing strikes and getting
ahead of hitters was a strength for
Waldrep throughout the season.
“Every game we set goals, and one
was getting ahead of hitters,” Leps
said. “One game, he threw 16 firstpitch
strikes.”
In his final game against Burnet,
Waldrep allowed just one earned run
on two hits. He struck out nine and
walked two.
“I was mixing the ball up and
threw a lot more curveballs,” Waldrep
said.
Leps said it was his best outing of
the year.
That complete-game victory
capped a senior year in which Waldrep
also helped the Bulls football
team to the fourth round of the playoffs.
The hard-hitting linebacker was
named District 5-3A’s Co-Defensive
MVP.
“It could have been better, but I’m
happy how it went,” Waldrep said
about his senior year.
He was contacted by a few schools
about playing football, but he did not
pursue them. Waldrep just wants
to play baseball and get back to the
mound as soon as possible.
“I’m excited about playing,” Waldrep
said. “I’m already missing baseball.”

Blauser wins three rifle contests
On a trip over spring
break, Nathan Blauser and
his family met some members
of the University of
Wyoming rifle team.
The chance meeting
sparked the 12-year-old’s interest
in the sport, and just
three months later he is now
a champion shooter.
Blauser, of Aurora, won
three first-place trophies in
the novice class Saturday
and Sunday at the 11th Annual
Johnson County 4-H
Shotgun Sports Fandango
Buckle Shoot held in Fort
Worth.
It was the Chisholm Trail
fifth-grader’s second competition.
“It’s awesome,” Blauser
said about shooting. “I enjoy
it a lot. It’s a great bonding
opportunity and a way
to get to know people out of
school.”
Blauser had been to a
skeet-shooting range with
his father, Pat, in the past,
but did not get serious about
it until this spring. He now
practices at least once per
week.
“We shoot about 50 to 75
rounds,” Blauser said.
In last weekend’s competition,
Blauser hit 63 of the
100 sporting clays he shot
at. He connected on 17 of
the 25 skeets, 15 of the 25
trap targets and 19 of the 30
Whizbang clay targets.
Blauser said it’s a tough
sport.
“With the small clays,
you’ve got to be right-on
or you’re going to miss,” he
said.
Blauser, who practices
with Parker County 4-H
because Wise County does
not have a shooting team,
is planning to go to three
shoots in June.
He is hoping to stay in the
sport and shoot one day in
college.
“I want to go to [Texas]
A&M. They have a shooting
team there,” Blauser said.
TOP SHOT — Nathan Blauser
of Aurora won a total of three
trophies last weekend at the
Johnson County 4-H shotgun
contest in Fort Worth.

Waldrep closes high school career at all-star game
By RICHARD GREENE
Blake Waldrep will walk across the
stage to receive his diploma Friday night,
but it will not bring an end to his highschool
baseball career.
The Bulls’ right hander will pitch in
the Greater West Texas Baseball Coaches
Association All-Star Game June 6 in Lubbock.
“It’s a pretty cool honor,” Waldrep said.
“There was only one other guy in our district
chosen.”
The game will be Waldrep’s first action
since the Bulls were eliminated from the
Class 3A Region I playoffs by Burnet May
15. He earned Bridgeport’s lone win in the
area-round series.
Before the all-star game, Waldrep will
join other Class 3A and 4A Region I players
in performing for local college scouts
June 5.
“It’s a chance to work out for scouts and
try to get recruited,” he said.
Waldrep, who is also planning to attend
a tryout for North Central Texas College
at Gainesville later in June, wants an opportunity
to pitch at the next level.
“I like to play baseball, and it’ll give me
something to do while in college,” he said.
Bridgeport coach Ted Leps believes his
staff ace will get that opportunity after a
strong season. Waldrep went 4-3 with a
1.47 ERA. He struck out 72 and walked
28. Waldrep also hit .462 with 24 RBIs on

LIFTING OFF — Derek Stanko, 14, of Arlington performs an
arly grab during Saturday’s skateboard contest in Decatur.
By BRANDON EVANS
A large crowd gathered
around the Decatur skateboard
park late Saturday
afternoon for a contest that
featured a surprise appearance
by professionals from
the Metroplex.
More than 25 contestants
entered Shredderz Skate
and Sport’s second Annual
Shred Fest. Jorge Villagomez,
19, of Houston took
first place.
“I did pretty good considering
I had just driven all
the way from Houston,” Villagomez
said. “A lot of good
people showed up. I was
just cruising around and
doing my thing. I thought
there were some guys better
than me out there.”
He said consistency
helped him win the contest.
“I just landed everything,”
Villagomez said. “I didn’t
really fall.”
Villagomez has been skating
for six years and has
won contests in Houston
and Austin. He is sponsored
by Shredderz Skate and
Sport in Decatur. He’s been
with the shop for a year.
Local skateboarder Daniel
Williams of Boyd finished
second.
Each of the riders took
three, one-minute runs
in the park. Three judges
scored each run. The lowest
score of the three was
dropped.
Another skateboarder
from Houston also performed
well in the event.
Taylor Jett, 19, placed
fourth overall and won the
“Best Trick” contest. Afterward,
Shredderz gave him
a sponsorship.
The first-place winner
received a skateboard deck
and other items. Second
through fourth places received
grab bags.
“I’d like to say thanks
to everyone who came out
and made it happen,” said
P.J. Reicheneker, owner of
Shredderz. “And thanks to
everyone from Arlington,
Dallas and all over the Metroplex
for coming out and
competing.”
Reicheneker said Yesterday’s
Texas restaurants,
Cody Rocamontes Inc. and
Hype! Skateboards helped
to make the contest a success.

basics of food, water,
and shelter,
our talk turned to

US-Mexico border.

TURNING THE CORNER — Smatt found the above contents of a geocache in the lower left
corner of the Texas Panhandle. The concrete chunks are the destroyed remains of the survey
marker.

caine.
I don’t vouch for the tale’s
authenticity. But the men
touched upon a fear that’s
been getting closer and closer
ever since I left Corpus
Christi. To borrow Lucky
Day’s words, El Paso had become
my El Guapo.
Fast forward to a few
evenings ago. My panhandle
tour in its final days, I
walked out of the plains and
into the desert landscape of
West Texas. I camped out underneath
a mesquite tree on
a slope slightly beneath the
level of the road. As the sunlight
faded and a plethora of
bugs and birds made a few
last minute flights, I waited
for the sky to fill with stars.
Then I saw headlights.
At an intersection I had
passed not half a mile prior,
a car stopped. The driver
could have been doing anything
– consulting a map,
picking up his cell phone,
looking for a tissue in the
backseat of the car – but
with the veil of a dozen border
stories clouding my vision
I could think of only a
single explanation: drugs.
When another vehicle approached
in the distance, the
car in question took off. The
driver didn’t peel out, but he
seemed intent on making a
getaway. I ducked down as
he passed. It had the feel
of a close call, and though
nothing had happened, I left
early the next morning.
I continued south to the
lower left of the panhandle,
trying to find the corner
marker. What I found instead
were the remnants of
a survey site, a pile of cement
chunks marked by a
fading sign. Hidden in the
jumble, I noticed something
more, a canister. Good lord,
it was even covered in camouflage
tape. I reached for it,
unscrewing the lid slowly.
No coke.
It was a geocache, a hobby-box
for “treasure” seekers,
filled with the signatures
of people who, like me,
were looking for the corner. I
signed the register and left.
The way I’ve acted, you’d
think I was already on the
Rio Grande, but it’s actually
a couple of weeks away.
These infamous border tales
which currently share an
edge with my imagination
will soon be very real. My
name’s not Lucky Day either.
I will be careful; I will
be quiet; I shall overcome
my fear.

KNOWING THE SCORE
The “Apgar score” is the first test that babies born after 1953 receive.
The test, named after pioneering obstetrical anesthesiologist Virginia
Apgar, evaluates a newborn’s physical condition. The Apgar score was
the first standardized method for assessing a newborn’s transition to
life outside his or her mother’s womb, and quickly identifies which
newborns require emergency care. The score consists of five aspects of
the newborn’s health (heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex
response, and color), which are evaluated and given 0, 1, or 2 points
each. Some refer to the five criteria “Appearance, Pulse, Grimace,
Activity, Respiration” to arrive at an APGAR score, which ranges from
zero to ten.
The Apgar score provides an initial, clearly understood measure
of a newborn baby’s health. Your obstetrician is a great resource for
further questions about Apgar scoring and other newborn testing. For
your obstetrical or gynecological care, call WISE OBSTETRICS &
GYNECOLOGY P.A. at 940-626-8008. Our office is conveniently
located at 1713 South FM 51, Ste. 201, Decatur. New patients are
welcome.
P.S. An Apgar score is a delivery room tool and is not designed to
make long-term predictions of a newborn’s health.

Rainy spring leads to weeds in bluebonnet patch
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: I have a patch
of bluebonnets that my late
husband and I started years
ago. They continue
to thrive and
spread a little
more each year.
But, the past
couple of years,
the weeds and
grass seem to be
overtaking them
(especially this
year). Is there
anything I can
use on them that
won’t harm the
bluebonnets
No weedkiller is that selective.
However, if your
main goal is to remove all
of the competing vegetation
entirely, you could apply a
glyphosate weedkiller once
the bluebonnet seeds have
dried and been dispersed
for next year. But, that’s
only if you want no grass
and no other plant growth
in that space. Bluebonnets
don’t fare well with competition,
especially from bermudagrass.
That’s why you
normally see them in shallow,
rocky soils in nature.
One thing of significance:
the past few months have
been comparatively wet
across Texas, and that has
encouraged strong growth
of weeds and grasses this
spring – more so than normal.
I wouldn’t be too concerned
yet.
Gardener’s
Mailbag
Dear Neil: I’ve attached
a photo of a mutation that
has occurred in my asparagus
bed. The asparagus is in
its third year, and it looks
like some odd type of cactus.
What can you tell me about
asparagus mutations
This is a process called
“fasciation.” It results when
a plant’s tissues develop
in only two planes, generally
in a very distorted way.
That’s what happens with
the common annual flower
cockscomb, and you’ll also
see it fairly commonly on
Texas mountain laurel, euonymus
and other plants.
While an interesting curiosity,
it’s usually not a good
thing. It’s not contagious,
but you do need to keep it
pruned out, so that the normal
asparagus growth can
proceed.
Dear Neil: In March, I
fed my St. Augustine with
a weed-and-feed
fertilizer. The grass
is slowly coming
back, but it’s been a
struggle. Other St.
Augustine lawns
nearby are looking
much better. I’m
blaming the weedkiller.
Do you have
any suggestions
It’s always tough
when someone compares
his or her
lawn to others nearby.
There are so many lawn
maintenance procedures
that people do differently.
It’s possible that you chose
the wrong product – that its
weedkiller active ingredient
was not intended for use
on St. Augustine. However,
it’s also possible that Take
All Root Rot caused some
of your damage. I have detailed
information about
TARR on my website, www.
neilsperry.com. Click on
the MAQ button, and go to
“Lawns.” Finally, for the record,
I am not an advocate
of weed-and-feed products. I
endorse both types of products
individually, but there
is too much chance of damage
when you try to use
them together.
Dear Neil: Is there a safe
and effective way of discouraging
grackles from taking
dips in our pool Someone
suggested hanging a CD in
the tree – that the bright reflection
would scare them.
Any other ideas
If you’re trying to scare
them away, the CDs are as
good an idea as any. You can
also hang fake rubber snakes
in the trees. (Your guests
will enjoy having those drop
out of the trees and into
the pool with them.) Tree
netting is good in preventing
them from getting into
the trees in the first place.
Talk to wildlife management
specialists with Texas
A&M and the Cooperative
Extension Service for more
specialized ideas.
Dear Neil: I’ve sent you
three photos of our summer
phlox bed. It’s 9 years old,
and it has always multiplied
well. This spring, the grass
was yellowed and slow to
green up, and now the phlox
looks the same way. I’ve applied
a fungicide. It seems to
have helped the grass, but
the phlox continues to struggle.
What can I do I don’t
want to lose it.
There are no insects or
diseases that are common
to both St. Augustine turf
and to summer phlox plants.
Each of the photos you sent
shows the problem to be in
one specific spot – St. Augustine
on the outside of the
edging, and summer phlox
on the inside. It really looks
like weedkiller damage that
is site specific to that one location.
It is not fungal. Keep
the soil moist at all times
(not wet, but certainly not
dry, to the point of the phlox
wilting). That would allow
higher concentrations of the
herbicide to accumulate,
much to the detriment of
the phlox. Check, too, that
the soil is amply deep on
both sides of this edging. It
looks like it could be rather
rocky. That could cause both
plants to have problems.
Dear Neil: What is the
best time of year to replace
shrubs that were killed last
winter Someone has told
me that spring is ideal.
Nurserymen sell, and
landscape contractors install,
new plants 12 months
a year. However, the very
best times are fall and early
winter, followed closely
by mid-winter through the
spring. Fall plantings give
the new plants months
to establish new roots before
the rigors of summer’s
heat. However, if you pledge
to keep the plants watered
carefully all the way
through the summer, spring
is the time when nurseries
have their best selections of
types. You may not find the
unusual varieties come fall.
Dear Neil: I cleared an
overgrown slope behind my
house recently, and I discovered
a number of volunteer
Japanese ligustrums.
They’re mixed in with tons
of other wild plants. Should
I care for the ligustrums
and encourage them, or will
I regret it later
Japanese ligustrums are
invasive to natural settings.
Their fruit is tasty to birds,

CLAY-COLORED SPARROW
Go north, birds
By CLAIRE CURRY
I love this time of year. It’s not too hot yet
but not freezing cold. The trees are leafy
and still fresh green. Spreads of
brilliant wildflowers such as Indian
Paintbrushes and bluebonnets
are covering open fields and roadsides;
their more delicate relatives
such as toadflax and wild onion
are hiding among the bunchgrasses.
In addition to all the botanical
delights, we have many migrant
birds coming through right now.
I was out recently in southwestern
Oklahoma and saw many species
that are also likely to occur in
Wise County.
I’ll start with the sparrows beause
I love their subtle plumages.
hipping Sparrow is a common
inter resident here, but it also ocurs
during spring migration. We then get a
hance to see the bright rufous crown and
old black eye stripe that make this such
distinctive species. A close relative is the
lay-colored Sparrow which has pale clayrown
and gray patterning on the face. It
lso has a crazy buzzing song that is very
nique once you’ve seen the bird making the
oise.
Another winter resident that is transitioning
to migrant in glorious spring plumage
is the Yellow-rumped Warbler. After not
seeing any breeding plumage male warblers
since last year, I was amazed at how they
Birds
and
Beyond
go from drab gray-brown streaky to crisp
gray, black, white and yellow. The males retain
their namesake yellow rumps, but also
have a yellow patch near the shoulders, bold
black streaking down the flanks,
a crisp white throat, white wing
bars on clean gray wings, and a
yellow streak on top the head.
The rest of the migrant warblers
are hit-and-miss for which
you might see. Yellow Warblers
(all yellow with rufous streaking
on the breast for males) are generally
quite common. I saw a few
other species this weekend that I
don’t see as regularly; this might
be because I just don’t usually
lurk in the wooded areas where
warblers are to be found.
The most unusual one was a Palm
Warbler, a more eastern species. It
has a rufous cap, somewhat like a
Chipping Sparrow, but a yellow throat and
yellow undertail coverts and rump. The rest
of the bird is a yellowish tan. A more common
warbler, in the right habitat, was the Prothonotary
Warbler. I am usually more of a sparrow
person, but I don’t think I will ever tire of
the Prothonotary Warbler’s glowing brilliant
yellow accented with slaty blue wings. They
live in swampy wooded areas; I haven’t seen
them in Wise County, but they might be found
if you have a good swamp. I do know they occur
in Denton and Collin counties.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
YOUR CHILD’S VISION
As a parent, you probably grew up
hearing some myths about your vision.
How familiar do these “facts” sound
Sitting too close to the TV is bad for
your eyes. If you cross your eyes
they’ll stay that way. Eating carrots
will improve your vision. The truth is
that children are better than adults at
focusing up close without eyestrain,
so they may naturally choose to sit
closer to the TV; however, it can be
a sign of nearsightedness. For the
second myth, your child’s eyes will not
freeze in the crossed position. And
while it is certainly true that carrots
contain Vitamin A, which we all need
for sight, the nutrient is also found in
many other foods.
A child’s eyesight problems require
professional assistance. Come to
LOVETTE PEDIATRICS located at
2401 S. FM 51, Suite 100, Decatur.
We will evaluate and treat your child
based on his or her health needs.
Make an appointment by calling (940)
627-8044. For your convenience, we’re
open M -Th 8am to 5pm and F 8am to
noon. Healthy Futures Start Here. Our
most important responsibility is taking
care of your child. We are committed
to the special needs of your children in
both sickness and health.
P.S. One common belief that is true is
that parents with poor eyesight often
have children with poor eyesight.

CROSSWORD
SOLUTION
Rainy spring leads to weeds ...
Continued from page 8
and the seedlings come up everywhere.
The farther south and east you
go in Texas, the greater the problem
becomes. As to whether you should
save them or not, that’s going to have
to be your decision. They’re handsome
evergreen screens.
Dear Neil: I have a 6-year-old
Moonglow pear that has not yet borne
fruit. The tree is very healthy and vigorous,
but I want some pears. Is there
anything else I can do, or should I use
another variety
Pears often grow strongly for several
years before they finally become
reproductive and bear fruit. Moonglow
is a good variable and dependable producer
once it gets established, hopefully
soon. The variety Orient would
be a second pear to try, should you ever
decide to do so, but wait a bit longer.
Dear Neil: I’ve attached photos of
an Emory oak that has been struggling
for a couple of years. A nurseryman
suggested that it might be oak wilt, but
he didn’t suggest anything for its cure.
You can see that the leaves are quite
spotted, and it’s this way year-round.
Where do I start
He may be correct. Oak wilt is a possibility,
but you’d need to have a culture
run on it. Send samples to the
Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory
at Texas A&M. You can read a lot more
about oak wilt on the TAMU Plant Pathology
Department’s website. Instructions
on sending the plant sample will
also be there. I fear the diagnosis may
be correct from your photos.

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 e-mail him at

Rhome rider claims first
in junior division at PBR
By BRANDON EVANS
Ten-year-old Colton Kelly of Rhome
made it look easy Saturday night.
In front of a standing-room only crowd
at the Wise County Sheriff’s Posse Arena
in Decatur, Kelly walked off as champion
in Junior Bull Riding after hanging onto
a raging black and white minibull for 8
seconds.
“I felt like it was a pretty good ride,”
Kelly said.
The junior competition was held during
the 7th annual J.W. Hart PBR Challenge.
The rodeo raises funds for local charities.
“Our goal was to raise $25,000 for the
United Way of Wise County,” said Andrew
Rottner, one of the event coordinators. “We
shouldn’t have a problem getting to that
number.”
More than 40 professional bull riders
took part, but the juniors got a chance to
show off between the first round and the
championship round. Kelly took first with
score of 77.
Kelly just started riding minibulls this
ear, but he’s been riding animals for
ears.
“I started out on sheep back in Ohio
hen I was 3 years old,” he said.
Kelly stressed preparation and keeping
he rope and gear in proper order.
“I get pumped up before the ride,” he
aid. “I like to listen to some AC/DC.”
Kelly said he receives a lot of support
rom his friends and family.
“I’d like to thank my friends and family
or helping and supporting me,” he said.
“It’s wonderful — I’m really proud of
him,” said father Shawn Kelly. “You do
get nervous, but he has a fire and desire
we don’t want to put out. We go to great
lengths to make it possible for him.”
Reserve Champion went to Josh Ballard,
11, of Coppell, with a score of 74.
His father Jeff Ballard said riding the
mini-bulls helps prepare the boys for professional
bull riding.
“This is getting them to become the next
cowboys,” Ballard said. “They’re getting to
learn the ropes.”
Proportionally, the pound-for-pound ration
for minibull riding is equivalent to
what the professionals ride. The minibulls
range from 500 to 800 pounds while the
riders average 70 pounds.
There is a group of eight youth riders
that travel and compete at the professional
events every weekend. Combined,
the boys have won more than $100,000 in
earnings and more than 100 buckles and
other awards.
“These are all kids that have excelled
in other rodeo associations,” Ballard said.
“We have state champions and world
champions. This isn’t for everybody. This
is only for the elite.
“These boys eat, sleep and breathe bull
riding.”
Boudreaux Campbell, 11, of Plantersville
placed third with a score of 69, and
Clancy Hart, 11, of Gainesville placed
fourth with 61.

Mist swirls above a rocky Oregon shoreline
like silent specters caught between
worlds.
The shoreline played a significant role in
some ancient cultures. For instance, druids
believed it a holy place because it marked
the merging of elements. It served as a
bridge between two realms, earth and wave,
solid and fluid.
Several years ago, a siren’s song of nature’s
beauty enraptured our roaming photographer.
Lured like a Greek mariner to a
crashing finale, he pointed his lens like a
ship’s bow upon a rocky shore.
The contrast of stairwell and coast caught
his photographic eye. The rigid and measured
lines of the steps conflict with the
fluid and inexact rush of wave on rock. The
stairs also help frame the shot and lead the
viewer directly to the coastal scene. Our
photographer found his own pair of worlds
colliding.
