WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, <strong>Thursday</strong>, August <strong>26</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>5AOPINIONOTHER VIEWSMuslim faith and politicsMosquerade party Obama chooses IslamBy WILL DURSTThere is only one halfway-decent reasonwhy a mosque should be built two blocksaway from Ground Zero in New York.It’s called the First Amendment.Maybe you’ve heard of it: that’sthe one that lets pretty muchanybody say pretty much anythingthey want, and yes, thatincludes worshipping whatevergoofy deity they choose. Mohammed.Thor. The Prince of Peace.King of Pop. John Coltrane.LeBron James. Baba Ganoush.Twiggy. Cher.There’s also one very goodreason why a mosque shouldn’tbe built two blocks away from GroundZero. It’s a little thing called grace. Asense of common human decency. Notrubbing other peoples’ noses in your ownsolid waste. A concept one would think areligion might be able to grasp since theiroft-described mission involves the encouragementand promulgation of those verycallings, but then one would be wrong. Aswould be two.Political parties aren’t expected to playby these rules however. And even if theywere, they wouldn’t. Especially duringan election year. The Republicans, as istheir way, have pounced on this issue likea starving feral cat onto an exhaustedmouse whose tail got stuck under atable leg. Bad blood with faint overturesof Christian degradation. Talk aboutstraight down your social agenda wheelhouse.Just two clicks shy of abortion andthree rungs below gay marriage. The waron Christmas squared.Hoping to reverse poll numbers thathave them racing Democrats to approval'ssub basement, the GOP turned a municipalzoning variance into a hot-buttonissue and it doesn’t matter whether you’rerunning for conditional co-councilman ofCalaveras <strong>County</strong>, you will weigh in onthis controversy. Once again, Obama andhis ilk are being slapped with the “outof-touchwith average Americans” brushthrough their stubborn insistence onupholding the U.S. Constitution. Amazinghow we, the people, will fight to the deathfor the Constitution. Until we won’t. Lovethe theory. Hate the details.And I know, I know, you’reright. Of course you’re right. No,it is not fair that people whobelieve we are nothing but infideldogs who would be better off deadthan to honor a false god, get tocome here and preach intoleranceand are allowed to do it next tothe place where some of their followerskilled 3,000 innocents. ItDURSTis as wrong as Cabernet Sauvignonin a can.But that’s the deal with Democracy.It’s not a Chinese menu. You don’tget to choose one freedom from column Aand another from column B. Liberty is abuffet. With everything available to all.And the sneeze guard is free speech. YourContinued on page 6ABy MICHAEL REAGANPresident Obama couldn’t bringhimself to observe the National Dayof Prayer or spend time with the BoyScouts of America, but Godforbid, he couldn’t miss theMuslim Iftar Ramadan dinner,or pass up a chance to praise anIslamic center a stone’s throwaway from Ground Zero.He later backed down – a bit.One has to wonder exactlywho is this Barack Obama? Ishe the Muslim-educated studentwho has repeatedly proclaimedhis Christian beliefswhile finding himself unableto put a foot in a Christian church inWashington he can call his own, or is hean adult still motivated by the Muslimfaith he learned and practiced as ayoung man?This is a serious question, especiallysince Obama has gone out of his way tobefriend a community, many of whombear a deep hatred for the UnitedStates and a fanatical belief in theinevitability of supremacy of Islam overthe United States.Daniel Pipes writes thatthe Muslim population in this“country is not like any othergroup, for it includes within it asubstantial body of people whodesire, ultimately, to transformit into a nation living under thestrictures of militant Islam.”He cites the case of SirajWahaj, a black convert to Islamand the recipient of some of theREAGAN American Muslim community'shighest honors, who in June1991 had the privilege of becoming thefirst Muslim to deliver the daily prayerin the U.S. House of Representatives.A little over a year later, addressingan audience of New Jersey Muslims, thesame Wahaj said that “if only Muslimswere more clever politically, they couldtake over the United States and replaceits constitutional government with acaliphate.Said Wahaj: "If we were united andstrong, we'd elect our own emir [leader]and give allegiance to him. . . . [T]akemy word, if 6-8 million Muslims unitein America, the country will come tous."This is “the religion of peace”?Writing in the August 5 WashingtonTimes, Jeffery T. Kuhner warns thatthe decision to build a 13-story mosqueand Muslim cultural center 600 feetfrom the site of Ground Zero representsthe surrender of the United States toradical Islam. He insists that most NewYorkers and Americans do not want thismosque erected and warns that it willbe “a symbolic monument to the triumphof Islamism in the Unites States.”Kuhner notes that the attacks on 9/11were “committed by Muslim extremistsin the name of holy war againstContinued on page 6AThanks forthe helpThe DHS Class of 2011 would like to thank all of theecatur High School teachers, administrators and parntsfor all their hard work toward our senior retreat.

Thanks again for all of your dedication to ourlass. We look forward to a great senior year.Ashton HackerKelsey GarnerKatherine WilliamsJaci IshamMichael PhillipsAnnie TrantDHS Senior Class OfficersResearchJefferson’s beliefsEvery time a letter is written or someone makes a comentabout America being a Christian nation, the antihristianfaction always resorts to Thomas Jefferson, theriter of the Constitution, as an anti-Christian founderho wanted nothing to do with Christianity.The following letter from Jefferson to Benjamin Rushlearly states that he (Jefferson) considers himself a Chrisian.I hope this will stop all of those who just keep repeatngwhat they have been told and inspire them to researchriginal documents for themselves. You don’t need to beold what to think. You just need correct, accurate informaion,and you can form your own opinions.In a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, Jefferson described hisviews on Jesus and the Christian religion, as well as hisown religious beliefs. He appended to this description asyllabus that compared the teachings of Jesus to those ofthe earlier Greek and Roman philosophers and to the religionof the Jews of Jesus’ time. Both the letter and the syllabusmay be found in the memorial edition of Jefferson’sWritings, Vol. 10, pg. 379. (Source: http://www.angelfire.YOUR VIEWScom/co/JeffersonBible/jeffbsyl.html)“Letter To Dr. Benjamin Rush.Washington, April 21, 1803.Dear Sir,In some of the delightful conversations with you in theevenings of 1798-99, and which served as an anodyneto the afflictions of the crisis through which our countrywas then laboring, the Christian religion was sometimesour topic; and I then promised you that one day or otherI would give you my views of it. They are the result of alife of inquiry and reflection, and very different from thatanti-Christian system imputed to me by those who knownothing of my opinions. To the corruptions of ChristianityI am indeed opposed, but not to the genuine precepts ofJesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense in whichhe wished anyone to be: sincerely attached to his doctrinesin preference to all others, ascribing to himself every humanexcellence, and believing he never claimed any other.At the short interval since these conversations, when Icould justifiably abstract my mind from public affairs, thesubject has been under my contemplation. But the more Iconsidered it, the more it expanded beyond the measure ofeither my time or information.”This is only a portion of the letter, but I would encourageeveryone to look it up and read it and the syllabus. Thisletter is not meant to condone or endorse any of Jefferson’sviews. It is meant to educate. It is an eye-opener.Robert CoxChicoNation descendedfrom immigrantsBigotry shows its ugly face in many disgusting andrevolting forms. Beyond the racial context which, in viewof America’s Declaration of Independence and Constitution,is troubling enough in its own right, and with whichthe word is normally associated in America, there’s ethnic,sexual, religious and socioeconomic bigotry still beingpeddled in America into the 21 century.One would have thought and hoped that, in America especially,most would be passé by now. However, hate-mongersseem never to mature beyond the prejudices imbuedby parents and/or society in childhood and never learnanything new.Anti-immigrant sentiments are old. One can only wonderwhat the original “illegal immigrants” to this continent,who entered uninvited from far northeastern Asiainto the continent’s extreme northwestern corner, thoughtwhen those pale-skinned European second-wave immigrantsstaggered ashore on our East Coast. Did they think,“well, there goes the continent?”A prominent American once lamented, “Few of their childrenin the country learn English. The signs in our streetshave inscriptions in both languages. Unless the streamof their importation could be turned, they will soon sooutnumber us that all the advantages we have will not beable to preserve our language, and even our governmentwill become precarious.”The author was himself the son of two immigrants fromNorfolk <strong>County</strong>, England. Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, T-Partiers? Nope, it was Benjamin Franklin, protesting theapparent preponderance of German immigrants. Xenophobicnativists in contemporary America should rememberthat at some point in their ancestry they are themselvesthe children of immigrants.Irish-American, Italian-American, Chinese-American,Japanese-American and others who are today accepted as“real” Americans were once as reviled and treated as badlyas those of Latin-American heritage are today by thoseof cleaned-up immigrant progeny. Moreover, the face ofAmerica is changing and the xenophobic nativistic politiciansand their like-minded supporters will one day be, ifnot already, in the minority, and will eventually bear theonus of their despicable actions, words and behavior.Would they spray “Null and Void” or “No-Vacancy” graffitiacross the base of the Statue of Liberty plaque thatreads, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled massesyearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of yourteeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost tome. I lift my lamp beside the golden door?”America has always been and will always be a nation offreedom-seeking immigrants.Ken HughesDecatur

WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, <strong>Thursday</strong>, August <strong>26</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>7ABOYDPassion for the pigskin ...Continued from page 1ASubmit YOURlocal news...www.wcmessenger.com/submiticed a great change in kids.’m now coaching kids oflayers that I’ve had. Theyre a lot like their dads.”When he came to Boyd,he Yellowjackets were notuite the <strong>Wise</strong> <strong>County</strong> jugernautthey are today. Therogram had claimed disricttitles only twice sincehe 1950s.“We had been to the playffsa couple of times beforee came here,” Pattersonaid.In just his third year,artwright was namedead coach before the 1977eason.His first game was hardymemorable. Facing G.A.oore, who just came backo Pilot Point after leadingelina to a state title, theearcats with their aggresive10-1 defense drummedhe Yellowjackets 55-6. Thexperience left Cartwrightoubting his career choice.“I learned a hard lesonabout preparation andcouting,” Cartwright realls.“Against that 10-1, weouldn’t do much.“I remember after thatrst game, I decided at thend of the season that I wasoing to do something else.”That frustrating startas followed by a loss toouthlake Carroll and thenies against Alvord andaradise before the Yellowjacketsbroke through withCartwright’s first win, <strong>26</strong>-14, over Callisburg.Cartwright finished hisfirst season at Boyd 3-4-3.“We turned everythingaround, and I decided not toresign or retire,” Cartwrightsaid.Quickly that decisionpaid off. The Yellowjacketswent 8-2 the followingyear and 9-1 in 1979. In1980, Cartwright and Boydclaimed the program’s firstdistrict crown since 1969.State-champion Pilot Pointbrought a 10-2 season to aclose.The Yellowjackets’ quickrise under Cartwrightreached its pinnacle in 1983.Boyd rolled through the regularseason, 10-0. After winsover DeLeon and Winters,the Yellowjackets exorcisedsome demons, holding off PilotPoint to claim a 13-13 tieon penetrations. Boyd thenbeat Cisco and McCameybefore knocking off Grovertonin Waco, 18-6, to stakeclaim to the Class 2A title.“That was unbelievable,”Cartwright said. “I neverexpected that. That’s the ultimatefor any football team.Everyone’s dream.“We won that one, and Ithought we’d do it regularly,”the coach added.Boyd and Cartwrightwould have to wait throughseveral close calls, including1993. With his son, RobbyCartwright, at quarterback,50-757(7-07)the top-ranked Yellowjacketswere upended 7-6 byPilot Point in the playoffs.Several really talented Boydsquads also had to play ata disadvantage as a smallClass 3A school.“We had some really good3A teams that could havebeen good 2A teams,” Cartwrightsaid.In 1999, the Yellowjacketsand Cartwright got backto the state title game, butcould not overcome Martand superstar Quan Cosby,who now plays for the CincinnatiBengals.The Yellowjackets got anothershot in 2004 and tookdown Newton 17-14 to claimthe state crown with a perfect15-0 record.“2004 was a fun year,”Cartwright said. “It wasa good bunch of kids thatworked hard every day.“After so long, you begin towonder if it’s going to happenagain. In 2004, everythingfell in place.”In almost 30 years, hundredsof young men havetaken the field to play forCartwright. Brandon Hopkinsplayed for him from1988 through 1991 and cameback to coach with him.“Growing up in Boyd, itwas something you lookedforward to, playing for him,”Hopkins said. “It’s iconicfor someone to be here thatlong.”Hopkins said the coachhasn’t changed much overthe years.“He’s all I’ve known,”Hopkins said. “Through theyears, he’s mellowed out,but he still gets after it.”Boyd coach John Bastinghas spent two stints on thesidelines with Cartwright.“It’s nice to have thatstability and know he doesthings right,” Basting said.“He’s a football guru. I’veseen him change with thetimes from the veer to thespread. He’s adapted withhow the game changed. Defensively,he’s the best I’veever been around.”But aside from his footballskills, Basting said it’sthe person that has madehim want to be in Boyd andcoach with Cartwright.“As good of a footballcoach as he is, he’s as goodof a person,” Basting said.“He’s a straight shooter andhonest. He treats everyonefairly.”Many of Cartwright’s explayersstay in contact withhim. The veteran coach appreciatesthe close relationshipshe’s been able to developwith his players whiletrying to instill lessons ofhard work and perseverance.“I’ve just tried to get themto be the best they can be,”Cartwright said. “There’s alot of lessons to be gainedfrom competitive sports. Ialways tell them talent onlytakes you to a certain level,and hard work gets you therest of the way. Nothing isgiven to them. You have toearn what you get.”The next generation ofYellowjackets understandsthat message, including Division-Ilinebacking prospectColton Lyon, whosefather, Mark, also playedfor Cartwright. His currentplayers have the sameor even more admirationfor him than the ones thatcame before them.“I love playing for him,”Lyon said.Quarterback Jared Cateadded: “He’s old-fashioned,but he’s awesome. I love him.“Everything changes, but hestays the same.”As he enters his 34th seasonwith the prospect of theYellowjackets moving to anew home, Cartwright hasno plans for retiring.“As long as I’ve got a passionto do it, I’ll do it,” Cartwrightsaid. “At the beginning,it’s such a grind, butSmall Taxing Unit Notice(Sample)The ______________________________ <strong>Wise</strong> Emergency Services District #1 will hold a meeting at ______________________ 6 p.m.onTuesday, _________________________ September 7, <strong>2010</strong> at ______________________________________ Boyd Community Center, 420 E.

Itbuilt Justin Elementary in the Northwest schooldistrict, the Tarrant Regional Water District AdministrationAnnex and many schools in Keller,among other facilities.The firm was chosen from a field of 13 that subittedrequests for qualifications to the countynd was one of five finalists chosen in June.“Richard Jaynes (the project’s architect) hadxperience with each of those, and it was deterinedthat the best value for the county wasteele and Freeman,” said Rick Sorenson, an atorneyfor <strong>Wise</strong> <strong>County</strong>.The county is making plans to break ground inecember or January, but the opening of the colegehas been pushed back to summer 2012.Branch-campus maintenance taxCommissioners set the branch-campus mainteancetax at 4.625 cents per $100 valuation, .375ents less than last year’s 5-cent rate.The fiscal year 2011 tax is about one-tenth of aent less than the effective rate of 4.7791 cents,hich was proposed last week.WCWC Dean Duane Durrett attended Monay’smeeting and asked that commissioners sethe rate at 4.7791.“I hope taxpayers are aware of what a good jobou have done,” he said, in reference to their workn the county budget. “I think you’ve done taxayersa great service.”Durrett said although the college’s $4.3 millionudget was built around a 4.625 tax, he thoughtt would make planning easier if commissionerssed the proposed rate of 4.7791.The slightly higher rate would mean about70,000 more dollars for the college based on a 98ercent collection rate.“The college doesn’t want to be seen as greedy,ut as far as tuition and fees, all the other tuitionates for Weatherford went up this year, exceptor in <strong>Wise</strong> <strong>County</strong>,” Durrett said.He explained that he pushed for that becausee didn’t want to raise the tuition costs for stuentswhen the college simply moved from oneemporary facility to another.“Whatever you do will be a wise choice,” he toldommissioners.<strong>County</strong> Judge Bill McElhaney asked a fewointed questions, insinuating the Weatherfordollege officials might not understand the budgetnd tax-rate formula used by the county.With little other discussion, county officialspproved the college’s budget and the 4.625 taxate.!E-mail Kristen at ktribe@wcmessenger.com.Funeral for MariaFernandez, 76, of Decaturwas Friday, Aug. 20, at theAssumption of the BlessedVirgin Mary CatholicChurch with Father SojanGeorge officiating.Fernandez died Monday,Aug. 16, <strong>2010</strong>.Born Nov. 7, 1933, inFresnillo, Zacatecas,Mexico, to Juan and VicentaMartinez Solis, she marriedPanfillo Fernandez July <strong>26</strong>,1952, in Hermita DeLosCorrea, Jerez, Zacatecas.She is survived by herhusband, daughters, BertaHernandez and husband,Silvestre, of Bridgeport,Leticia Juarez and husband,Mario, and Marta Gillstrapand husband, James, allof Los Angeles, and MariaFernandez of Decatur;and sons Isidro Fernandezand wife, Ana, and ArturoFernandez and wife, Sara,all of Decatur.

12A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, <strong>Thursday</strong>, August <strong>26</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>SPORTSPIGSKIN FORECASTYellowjackets try to slow GodleyBy RICHARD GREENEThe Boyd Yellowjackets’2009 season ended in largepart due to the Herculeaneffort of one of the state’s toprunning backs, Pilot Point’sJarman Johnson.Johnson ran for 378 yardson the way to leading theBearcats to a 59-42 win.In the opening stanza ofthe <strong>2010</strong> season, the Yellowjacketswill once again tryto slow a dangerous, elusiverunner — Godley’s LandryMartinez. Boyd will meetGodley Friday at 7:30 p.m.at Yellowjacket Stadium.Martinez is Class 2A’sleading returning rusher.The 5-9, 185-pound back ranfor 1,916 yards and 29 touchdownslast year as Godleyadvanced to the region finalsbefore being topped by PilotPoint on a last-second fieldgoal.Martinez has been limitedin Godley’s two scrimmages,but Boyd coach J.G. Cartwrightexpects him to beready for Friday.“He’s an excellent player— explosive and hard totackle,” Cartwright said.“He’s been nicked up anddid not scrimmage, but heshould be back. We’ll haveour hands full.”The veteran Boyd coachcautioned that the Godleyoffense has much more thanMartinez, including newquarterback Rhett Brawner.“He’s the coach’s son andknows the offense,” Cartwrightsaid. “They havegood, athletic, skilled playersthroughout, and theirline is the real deal.”Godley is expected to givethe Yellowjackets’ defenseseveral looks, which will bedifficult to contend with in aseason opener.“When you do as manyformations as they do, itputs you in a bind,” the Boydcoach said.Offensively, the Yellowjacketswill be led into thegame by Jared Cate, whowill be making his first varsitystart. He will be facinga defense that returns sixstarters but is making severalchanges.“They have a new defensivecoordinator and arerunning a different scheme,”Cartwright said. “They aregood at it and have guys thatcan run. We’ll have to keepour composure and execute.”Boyd scrimmaged LakeWorth last week in a defensivebattle.

I think I haveone, which is possibly moreuseless than a whole collectionof them.Looking back, maybe I wasforcing the issue because likeso many other things in life,once I quit thinking about it,a collection naturally developed.Readers may recall this discussionfrom my blog, Shelf Space, where I outlinedthe virtues of my signed book collection,albeit small.

It re-familiarized me with trees I alreadyknow and helped me get a grasp onsome that I hadn’t looked at much.Let’s start with the characteristic trees ofthe Cross Timbers post oak (Quercus stellata)and blackjack oak (Q. marilandica).Post oaks typically have a cross-like shapeto their leaves and have the underside withsome fuzz.

I usually call ours the ShumardOak (Q. shumardii). They are found in river-bottom(riparian) areas and on top of rocky hills.Burr oak (Q. macrocarpa) is naturally a riparian speciesin our area. The leaves are big with deep, round lobes. Theacorns’ very deep cup, covering almost the whole nut, isvery distinctive. Many of the smaller branches and twigshave “winged” bark sticking out.Live oaks (Q. virginianica) are different from the previousoaks by virtue of their evergreen foliage. They keep theirshiny oval all year, only shedding them briefly in the spring.They look like they don’t drop them, though, as they usuallykeep the old leaves until the new ones have grown.Hackberries are another common and easily identifiedtree. According to my tree guide, we have several speciesin the genus Celtis, but they are all extremely similar. Theleaves are round at the base and taper to a point, with asmooth or slightly toothed edge. They have small, reddishbrownfruits. The most distinctive feature of the tree is thevery warty bark.Although it is often considered a weedy species, it is greatfor birds and other wildlife because of the berries.It is also a host plant for several common and beautifulbutterflies. These include the Hackberry Emperor and thevery similar Tawny Emperor, both of which are brown-spotted.They are very bold and will land on you to lap up yoursweat.

The reason that ovarian cancer is nearly three times asdeadly as breast cancer is that three-quarters of cases are diagnosed afterthe cancer has spread beyond the ovaries. At that point, the cancer hasoften spread throughout the abdomen, and the five-year survival rate isless than 30 percent. For the 25 percent of cases that are diagnosed early,the five-year survival rate is more than 90 percent. This stark contrastin outcomes certainly makes a good argument for regular screening.However, early-stage tumors are rarely detected during pelvic exams, andno biomarker specific to ovarian cancer has been found.It is important for a woman to have routine pelvic exams to screen forenlarged ovaries since ovarian cancer has few, if any, symptoms in itsearly stages.

The groupsprovide a forum for emotional support, education and sharing.Members exchange practical information on caregivingchallenges and possible solutions. Caregivers share differentways of adapting to the continuing stress of coping; and sharefeelings, needs and concerns in a supportive, non-threateningatmosphere. Support groups assist family members indeveloping realistic expectations for themselves and their cognitivelyimpaired loved ones and to understand the impact ofthe disease on family dynamics. Another benefit is social contactfor family members who feel isolated because of theirrole as caregiver.“I don’t know how I would have made it without this group.”“Usually somebody else in the group has gone through what youare going through, and advice means a whole lot more when itis coming from another person who has walked in your shoes.”“Getting support from other caregivers has helped me bemore patient, and it is a relief to know others will understandyou and not be judgmental. I have also made new friends whoI feel safe with when I confide my worries about the future.”-Support Group ParticipantsThe Alzheimer’s Association invites individuals caring forsomeone with Alzheimer’s or related dementia to attend acaregivers support group at 7 pm on the first <strong>Thursday</strong> ofevery month at <strong>Wise</strong> Behavioral Health Services(board room), 2000 FM 51 – West Campus, Decatur, TX76234.

It produceslong sprays of beautifulmetallic-purple berriesthat are about the size ofEnglish peas. Any idea whatthat would be? Is it good, oris it bad?That sounds like poke salad,sometimes called simply“poke.” It’s a native Texasplant that is great for birdhabitats. They love the fruit,but they also are very goodat planting them virtuallyeverywhere. I always leavetwo or three plants to developin my larger beds awayfrom the house. They havea wonderful spirit. By theway, old-time Texas gardenersused this plant’s leavesas an edible, but somewherealong the line they found outthat it is toxic until it’s beencooked.Dear Neil: I have four 20-foot Italian cypress plants.One of them developed abrown section in its middle,and that spread quickly,until the middle 15 feet ofthat plant was affected. I’vechecked for spider mites byholding a sheet of white paperunder the branch andshaking it. I saw none. Whatcaused this, and what can Ido to keep it from spreading?You might not have beenforceful enough when youwere checking for mites. Youactually need to thump thesmall branches briskly. Littlepieces of dirt and debris willfall, and 30 seconds later,some of it may start walkingaround. Spider mites are sosmall that you could probablyput 20 of them on thehead of a pin. Check again. Ifyou see them this time, spraywith a general-purpose insecticidesuch as Malathionor acephate. I’m going to ruleout the other big problem forItalian cypress this year, thatbeing bagworms.

You’ll get 46 pages of prosand cons. Even the great minds of the Greek age could not reach a conclusion.They compared Jesus with Buddha, Confucious, Mohammed, Moses andElijah so they concluded maybe he was a prophet, a good teacher, a greathumanitarian.

8 ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, <strong>Thursday</strong>, August <strong>26</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>OutdoorMany reasons for illness in treesBy GARY CLAYTON<strong>Wise</strong> Co. Extension AgentWhen people see a sick tree, they oftenthink that some sort of disease is causingthe illness. Actually, a majority of theproblems causing trees andshrubs to look sick stem fromstress or physical injury.A common symptom ofstress or injury is marginalleaf burn, or leaves fringed bydead tissue. This has been aproblem with numerous speciesof trees and shrubs thissummer. Marginal leaf burnsare seldom caused by leaf disease,which usually shows upas random lesions (dead areas)scattered about the leaf.Leaf burn occurs at the tip or alongthe leaf margin because salts (plant nutrients)accumulated along leaf margins.Anything that causes the plant to pumpinsufficient water (stress) can result in atoxic burn of this tissue because it containsthe highest level of salt.Stress symptoms ranging from leafburns to limb dieback or tree death canontinued from page 7age to thousands of Italiancypress plants this year.Dear Neil: I have been givenbulbs of the plant shownin my photo. What can youtell me about them? Any caretips? They were blooming inearly July.These are crinum lilies.There actually are manyvarieties, with flower colrsranging from white toink and even rosy red. Thelants’ leaves will be glossynd elongated, not unlikemaryllis leaves, but oftenClayton’sCornerresult from numerous causes. Droughtis the most obvious cause of stress. Theextremely dry weather, coupled with theheat of June and early July, may causesome serious problems for some homeowners.Large trees show responsesto stress more slowly; someof the marginal burns nowbeing observed relate to lastsummer. High temperaturescause plants to pump morewater and simply compounddrought problems.As temperatures exceed100 degrees, water loss bysome trees and shrubs canequal or exceed the abilityof the roots to supply water,even when the soil moisture isnot deficient. I expect we will continue tosee problems with trees and other landscapeplants until we receive significantrainfall.Because of extreme Texas temperatureseach summer, freeze injury is oftenoverlooked, yet it is one of the most commonand damaging causes of stress. Directinjury to twigs and limbs is usuallyWorry not about elm tree ...even longer. Crinums needmorning sun and perhapsa little shade in the worstof mid-afternoon during thesummer. They prefer moist,highly organic soils. Theleaves will die with the firsthard freeze. They should betrimmed away at that timeuntil new growth sprouts outin the spring.Dear Neil: Enclosed is aphoto of my staghorn fern. Ihave had it for 20 years, andit has grown to be almost fivefeet across. It is too large formy garden room now, andI’m wondering if it’s possibleto divide it into smallerplants?Definitely. Your photo showsseparate “clumps” of leavescoming out from the base.Over the years the plant hasdivided itself. Each of thosesets of several leaves shouldhave its own cluster of sterilefronds. They’re the brown,suction-cup-like appendagesat the bases of the plants.Soak the plant thoroughly ina wash tub, then use a largeknife to cut through theroot mass between clumpsof the plants. The best timefairly evident, and the damaged woodcan be pruned.Often the injury is more subtle, occurringon a portion of the trunk with noimmediate or noticeable effect on the entiretree or shrub.Thick bark sometimes remains intact,hiding trunk-freeze injury for wellmore than a year. Probing the bark onthe lower three feet of the trunk witha screwdriver or tapping with a mallet(listen for hollow sound) will usually revealhidden freeze injury.Just as drought causes trees to stress,so does excess water. Tree roots need oxygento function properly, so roots thatare waterlogged lose their ability to takeup water. It can take several years fora seriously injured root system to be regenerated.In recent years, numerous trees growingin poorly drained soil have beenkilled or damaged following periodsof heavy rainfall. Trees with damagedroots systems are vulnerable to summerdroughts and heat stress. Be sureto deeply water your landscape trees aswe continue into what are normally thedriest months of the year.to do this would be after theheat abates, probably in lateSeptember or early October.That would give the separatedplants six or eight weeksof good fall growing weather.!Have a question you’d likeNeil to consider?
