4A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Wednesday, November 28, 2012OPINIONOUR VIEWSWho says there’s no internationalintrigue in local news?By KRISTEN TRIBEInterviewing peoplecomes naturally to me andmy newsroom coworkers.We may employ differentstrategies at times, but it ismostly the art of conversation— nothing complicatedabout it. But if you don’tspeak the same languagethis simple task, the basisfor all we do, suddenly becomesamazingly difficult.This was our quandarylast month when seekingan interview with two-timePBR WorldC h a m p i o nand BraziliannativeSilvano Alvesof Decatur.He speaksTRIBEPortuguese.We speak English.If you read the Oct. 31Messenger, you know thisstory ends with a story — afront-page feature by reporterErika Pedroza. What youdon’t know is that it took 12months of hand-wringing,plotting and a bit of luck tomake it happen.Alves took the U.S. bullriding circuit by storm inhis first season,winning the 2010PBR Rookie of theYear title. In 2011,he won the PBRWorld Title, andhe became the firstrider in history tosnag the title inconsecutive yearsafter winning the 2012 seriesin October.He’s earned more than$3.2 million since his U.S.debut, plus has endorsementsfrom Stanley DeWalt,Wrangler and Brahma. He’sa world-classSilvano Alves wonthe PBR Brahma SuperBull Finals event titleSunday in Brazil. It’sthe equivalent to thePBR Built Ford ToughSeries World Championshipsin the U.S.athlete.After hisfirst world title,we soughtan interviewbut didn’t actfast enough.Alves, hiswife Evelynand small children Hanylieand Eduardo return toBrazil after the Finals everyyear, a fact we didn’t knowuntil it was too late.And it’s not like we couldjust call him on the phone.While they were away, Erikaand I devised a plan toland an interview upon hisreturn. Coincidentally, myfamily had moved next doorto them just before the 2011world championships, so Iwas put on watch.But things didn’t fall intoplace as we hoped. He returnedand immediately begantraveling for the 2012season, and we still didn’thave a translator. The possibilityof an interview seemedto be slipping away, and itwas becoming irrelevant asthe new season progressed.At a certain point we decidedall that was left todo was wait — again. If hemade the finals in 2012, wewould try one more time.In the meantime, whenwe saw Alves and his familyoutside, we exchangedsmiles and waves.As the end of the 2012 seasonapproached, Alves wasContinued on page 5AOTHER VIEWSFootball gamecoverage can bea health hazardBy WILLIS WEBBNo one could reasonablyargue football is not hazardous.Even in junior highpulled muscles, bruises,torn knee cartilages andbroken bones are continuingpossibilities.But would you believethat being a newshoundand/or photographer onthe sidelines at a game carriesan injury threat?As a young newsman,most of the time I was agileenough to get out of theway of running, stumbling,tumbling players comingout of bounds. Necessity— being the only newsperson— sometimes forceseven older editor-publishertypes intoduty on Fridaynights.And, whileI wasyoung, IWEBB was partof the endof-playjumble on the sidelineson more than one occasion.But, let’s face it — asyou get older and slower,“violent” physical contactis more hazardous to yourhealth. And, it just plainhurts more.Even minor contact witha running or falling footballplayer can bring aboutan injury that should beContinued on page 5AYOUR VIEWSPhotographs inpublic placesBob Buckel’s column (Messenger,Saturday, Nov. 24) about public photography,especially among youth,is right on with my thinking. Asone who enjoys the “art” of takingphotographs, I have sensed the realattitude of our society about peoplethinking their photograph shouldnot be taken or appear in any publicvenue. It is a sad condition that ourociety has fallen into that generalosition.In my growing-up days and inost of my adult life, just about allhe photograph publicity you couldttract was good! We all cherishedhe rare opportunity to appear innyone’s newspaper or magazine,ven when it wasn’t our best pose.There seems to be another eleentaffecting people being willingo be photographed. If the pictureoes not look like they are a candiateto be a model, their self-esteems reluctant to let any public venueee them as they are (even thoughverybody does see them as they arend usually still likes them).I enjoy the “art” of studies on theaces of people. Many of my amateurhotographs are people studies,nd the characteristics that can bexhibited are just wonderful aspectsf what is in God’s creation amongeople. I like that. It is evident inany of the photographs I take andpost on Facebook. My account hasalmost 11,000 pictures in it, among214 albums, many of them focusedupon particular community andpolitical events that have crossedmy path.It is my hope and expectation thatthe freedom to photograph peoplein public circumstances ultimatelywill not be muted by a well-intendedsociety that may invite legislation tolimit severely what photographerscan do, just because some weirdpeople do bad things to children.The ever-protective governmentdoes what it believes is good at thecost of more and more freedoms.D.A. SharpeAuroraHats off to the VANorth Texas HealthCare SystemIn the past few weeks I have seenrepeated stories on the variouslocal TV stations about problemswith the VA North Texas HealthCare System, slamming the qualityof care and the medical servicesveterans get at their facilities. I wasreally stunned to see these storiesbecause of the great quality of carethat I have personally been givenin the VA North Texas Health CareSystem.I went 12 years or more with asmall mark in the middle of myforehead that would never completelyheal. The civilian doctorstold me repeatedly that it was nobig problem and to “just put a littlesalve on it.” On my first visit to seeRussell Wilson after he had just arrivedat the VA Clinic in Bridgeport,when he saw that sore, he got veryupset. He stated it looked like cancerand could be very dangerous.He immediately scheduled mean appointment with the dermatologydepartment at the Dallas VAHospital, where I was seen within aweek or so. They confirmed througha biopsy that it was not only cancer,but also the most agressive formof melanoma there is. Surgery wasscheduled within a very short time.What was initially supposed to be abasic, two-hour, outpatient procedurebecame a two-day, extensivesurgery because of how big themelanoma turned out to be. It tookfour plastic surgeons to close up onthe second day.During the surgery, everyone atthe hospital, from the volunteers tothe surgeons, treated my wife like aqueen. They couldn’t do enough forher while I was in surgery. Becauseof Dr. Wilson’s correct, initial diagnosisin the Bridgeport VA Clinic,the entire VA Health Care Systemliterally saved my life.Recently, there has been anotherpotentially very serious health issuearise for me that was found by theNorth Texas Health Care System.Again, I have received nothing butthe finest of care, in the quickestpossible time frame, both initiallyby Dr. Wilson in the Bridgeport VAClinic and at the Fort Worth andDallas VA Center and Hospital,respectively.I have talked with many othervets who also credit the North TexasVA Health Care System with savingtheir lives, too.I have had the pleasure of havingDr. Wilson as my primary care physician,and I have been seen at theFort Worth and Dallas VA Hospitalson numerous occasions. Everyone inthe entire VA Heath Care Systemhas always been extremely courteous,and my treatment has alwaysbeen of the highest quality possible.That’s why I say, “Hats off tothe VA North Texas Health CareSystem.”Jim PoppGreenwoodTaking oversomeone’s homenot OKRecently, a man went on trial inTarrant County for trying to squata vacant home. The home wasworth approximately $405,000 andhad been previously owned by aTexas Rangers baseball player.He had taken advantage of anobscure law on the books, filed a$16 form; and then simply movedinto the residence.The jury found him guilty andsentenced him to 10 years probationand a $10,000 fine. In addition,the man was believed to havestolen about $250,000 worth ofpersonal belongings from the residence.He could have gotten up tolife in prison.Bad enough you say? Just wait,because the truly appalling part ofthis story is yet to come.A local television network hasa voice mail forum where viewerscan call in and express theiropinions. This past Saturday, twoviewers called in and spoke in hisdefense. One stated that the manwas “cleaning up” the property. Theother simply stated, “after all, theman (owner) had moved out.”Moved out? In reality, the familywas in Houston seeking treatmentfor the wife who has cancer.Regardless, even if the family hadmoved out, the house still didn’tbelong to the guy who was trying tosquat it!You could tell by the tone of voicesused by the callers that they werecompletely serious. Their wordswere thoughtfully formed and slowlyspoken. They honestly felt like theman had done nothing wrong.I fear for our nation.Rose Stuber

An opposingplayer was chased out ofbounds by a pair of Bulldogs.I snapped a photo and wiselyturned and ran toward thefence. Alas, I was in the olderslowermode in those days andthe “enemy” runner dippedhis shoulder and caught mejust under my shoulder blade.Though I remained upright,the runner’s shoulder padsraised a significant bump onmy back.

Randy Warzecha,a Brazilian missionaryassociated with the DecaturChurch of Christ, wasin town for a short time.He and his wife, Angela, anative of Brazil, graciouslyagreed to accompany Erikaand myself to the Alves homefor a cold call.The plan: knock on thedoor, ask for an interview,hope that he would agree.What happened: weknocked on the door, no oneanswered, we left.We did leave a copy of theMessenger with a note in Poruguese,explaining who weere, tucked inside a wreathanging on their front door.hoped he would contact us,ut I knew it was a long shot.We didn’t hear from Alvesnd by the end of the week,e had left for Las Vegas.Although it was for a goodause, I was beginning to feelbit like a stalker.WIN $500 CASHDrawing on December 3Buy Raffle Tickets NowFrom Wise Regional HospitalAuxiliary VolunteersIn Lobby or Gift Shop$1 EACH OR 6 FOR $5We watched the Finals ontelevision and were excitedto see all the Wise Countyriders. We were especiallyexcited that Alves won again.But I didn’t get my hopesup. I knew he would be returningto Brazil and thechances of finding a translatorand getting it done beforehe left was not likely.The day after the Finals,my husband was working inthe garage when he came insideto tell me a group of peoplewith cameras were nextdoor. I marched over thereand learned it was a Braziliantelevision crew awaitingAlves’ return home. Onlytwo of the six spoke English,and they told me Alves andhis family were expectedany minute.Sergio Horovitz, the CEOof the company, was excitedto know that I had watchedthe PBR Finals and wasaware of Alves’ accomplishments.I explained to himthat I worked for the localpaper and told him of our attemptsto interview Alves. Iexplained that the languagebarrier was proving difficultto overcome.coverage days should be over.Jasper, the last stop in mycareer path, was and is anongoing winner in high schoolfootball.In 2004, the Bulldogs madeit to the Class 3A semifinals.This game was played atTexas A&M University’s KyleField.Since I was writing not photographingthis game, I feltsafe and unthreatened in theenormous press box above theKyle Field seats. No playerswould have a shot at obliteratingThe Old Man in an outof-boundspileup.That was the best footballgame I’ve ever seen, but a 49-47 loss for Jasper.As the score indicates, itwas an exciting game fromteeing-up to kick-off to an agonizinglyfast clock near theend.It was in those nerve-shatteringfinal ticks that I becameaware of my physicalchallenge. I felt flushed and Icould see in the glass front ofthe press box my face was redas the proverbial beet.I managed to write downevery play and to capturesomething of the ending ofthat sensational game, but Iwas not altogether there inthat press box.I was mostly oblivious tothe remarks of fellow journalistsas they filed out. I seemedto be in another world and unableto extract myself.I recognized my symptoms,later verified by my familydoctor, and knew I had to becalm and still because therewas no one to help me, savea custodian or two. As thedoctor explained, I was in a“stroke mode” and I probablyheaded it off by sitting absolutelystill until the flushedfeeling was gone.Recalling all the stories I’dI asked if he could perhapsmention the Messengerto Alves and our wish to interviewhim.Horovitz said he could,but we’d have to move quick.The family was returning toBrazil the next day.As Alves pulled up, Ithanked them all andwatched his triumphantreturn from a distance. Myheart racing, I excitedlycalled Erika and Joe, puttingthem on standby for thenext morning. Then I begantracking down our latestlead for a translator — afriend of a friend I’d nevermet.It was truly an adrenalinerush. (OK. So I’m a journalismnerd.)By the next morning, Ihad an email from Horovitzsaying Alves was agreeableto an interview, but weshould go early ... and bringan apple pie. It would be ashow of hospitality, he said.read and heard about sportsfans who’d had heart attacksand strokes, I counted myblessings and determinedthat if I had to cover footballagain, I might just take somethingto keep my nerves calm.No more was necessary toconvince me I should retirefrom covering sports. A coupleof years later, I came to thefurther conclusion that, at 69,retiring from editing and publishingaltogether might add afew years to my life.Don’t let anyone tell youthat working as a communityjournalist isn’t exciting ... althoughsometimes hazardousto your health.Willis Webb is a retired communitynewspaper editor-publisherof more than 50 yearsexperience. He can be reachedby email at wwebb1937@att.net.We only had 30 minutesto find fresh apple pie andeventually had to settle forcupcakes and cookies. Erika,Joe and myself piled intoa car and swung by NationalRoper Supply to pick upCorey Jones, our translator.“Hop in!” we called. I’m surehe was convinced he was beingkidnapped by crazies,but he never broke a sweat.Although it took four of usto get it done, we left withan interview and photos inhand. Alves was friendly,humble and gracious withhis time.What usually takes fiveminutes to set up took usabout 12 months. But it wasworth the wait, and I finallygot to meet my neighbor.My Portuguese still has along way to go, however.Kristen Tribe is the Messenger’snews editor.

Jones back ...WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Wednesday, November 28, 20127AContinued from page 1Aand-tear of the rodeo arena,were responsible for droppinghim out of the ranksof the most elite cowboys inthe world. After qualifyingfor the NFR in 2002, 2003,2004, 2006 and 2008, it wastough to take.“You always think, especiallywhen it takes a littlelonger to get up sometimes,you might be getting too oldfor this,” Jones said. “Threeyears ago my body felt likeit was shutting down. Icouldn’t react like I used to.”But when he finally gotan MRI last year the doctorasked, “When did you breakyour back?”Jones replied he hadn’t.The doctor told him thathe had — and the fracturein one of his lower vertebrahad led to spinal stenosis inhis neck.“It had led to complications,”Jones said.Spinal stenosis is an abnormalnarrowing of anarea of the spinal canal.It can compress the spinalcord and eventually causeparalysis.“I didn’t have any power,”Jones said. “And it’s hardto bulldog if you don’t haveany power.“My nerves were beingcrushed, and it screwedup my coordination andbalance. I thought I wasjust losing it. I felt like Ias 102. I couldn’t believeow much it hurt. Iouldn’t even ride.”He realized he’drobably broken hisack sometime backn 2008, the lastime he made thenals. Instead ofurgery, he startedndergoing treatentswith a chiopractorin Northichland Hills whoorks with severalullriders in therea.“I’m used to aot of pain, but Iouldn’t get awayrom this,” Jonesaid. “I couldn’tleep. I couldn’t doothing. He pute through a lot ofraction. It felt likee was pulling myody apart.“I went to him 90ays straight everyay and I started feelingetter and I was able toake off rodeoing again.”It’s hard to escape injuyin a sport like bulldoging.This past August heMessenger photo by Joe Duty • Buy reprints at wcmessenger.com/reprintsHANGING ON — Bulldogger K.C. Jones of Decatur wrestles a steer to the ground while competing in the grass arena atPendleton, Ore. The Decatur cowboy is ranked 10th in the world in steer wrestling. He’s one of four local cowboys to qualifythis year for the prestigious Wrangler Nationals Final Rodeo in Las Vegas Dec. 6-15.suffered another setbackwhen he broke a bone inhis leg in a rodeo in Canby,Ore. while sitting in sixthplace in the world.“I had a steer that ranup and stopped right at thebarrier line,” Jones said.“He ran so fast and thenstopped so fast that myfeet swung in front of thehazing horse and his legskicked me.”His hazer, Tim Sparing,a 22-year-old from Helena,Mont., who is attendingcollege at Tarleton StateUniversity in Stephenville,broke the bad newsto Jones. After the ride hecame up to Jones and said,“Dude, you broke it.I heard somethingcrack.”“I told him no,”Jones said. “My legalways sounds likethat when I get up.We get in the truckand drive all night.We stop to get gasand I can’t get outof the truck. It’slocked up. Maybethere is somethingto this.”But Jones stillthought it was justa bad bruise andcontinued to competein rodeos.An eventual x-ray proved he’d brokena non-weightbearing bone inhis knee. Trainerstold him if he couldstand the pain hecould still competeif he really wantedto.“Everybody is telling meto go home and stop andI’m stupid,” Jones said “ButI just kept bulldogging andit finally stopped hurting.School to raise awareness for G/T programMulti-tasking cowboyParents, staff and communitymembers in AlvordISD are invited to a comeand-goGifted and TalentedAwareness Meeting 4 to5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec.12, in the elementary cafeteria.All those interested infinding out more about thenomination, screening andidentification process forAlvord’s gifted and talentedstudents are encouraged toALVORDWhile most cowboys competing in theNFR just have to worry about how theycompete in the arena, Jones has starteda couple of businesses on the side, includingthe first online fantasy rodeo.“The first year I went out there I wasjust happy to bulldog and made somegood money and had fun,” Jones said.“But I was also scared when I was donerodeoing I wouldn’t have nothing.“I knew I needed to use my connectionsin rodeo to have something afterI was done.”So 10 years ago Jones and somefriends created the first fantasy sportsgame for rodeo. It’s just like fantasyfootball except instead of putting togethera team consisting of wide receivers,tight ends, running backs and quarterbacks,you compile a team featuringa steer wrestler, bareback rider, headerand heeler for team roping, saddle broncrider, tie-down roper, a barrel racer anda bull rider. Each player gets so muchrecruiting money and from there buildsa team.Profantasyrodeo.com has become theofficial fantasy rodeo game of the ProfessionalRodeo Cowboys Associationand the NFR.Jones also started Rodeo Vegas withhis wife Gayle. It’s the official NFR afterparty of the PRCA that runs 10 days,non-stop during the NFR at the Miragein Las Vegas.Jones credits his business sense tohis parents.“I was going to rodeo and set theworld on fire, but my parents had differentplans,” Jones said. “I came from aworking farm. Mom and dad made megive them a college degree before Icould get my PRCA card.”The businesses have proven a distractionat times, so this year Jones intendsto focus all his energy on taking care ofbusiness in the arena.“I was always promoting the businesses,”Jones said. “Going to bulldogat the Thomas and Mack became almostan afterthought. That’s hard whenyou really want to win. We’ve workedhard already and we’re bringing somereally good help. So this year I can reallyjust sit back and stick to thinkingabout bulldogging.”attend this meeting.Information packets andnomination forms will beavailable, as well as anoptional video and characteristicsto look for whennominating a student forG/T services.For questions or concerns,contact Kaysi Hamilton,G/T coordinator for AlvordISD, at khamilton@alvordisd.netor call her at (940)427-2881, ext. 1003.“It’s 100 percent now,”Jones said.And at 41, after sufferingthough multiple majorinjuries, Jones mightbe reaching his peak. He’sbulked up from 180 poundsto 220.“I’m excited,” Jones said.“I’ve been putting in a lotof time at the gym. Thelast year I figured out thisis physics. The bigger andstronger you are the quickeryou can be. Lookingback the last three yearsit’s completely different.There’s things I can do nowthat I couldn’t do before.“I want to make my markin the arena this year,”Jones added. “I wanna getthe gold buckle. Once youget the taste of winning it’sa hard taste to get out ofyour mouth.”Jones enters the NFR,which runs Dec. 6-15,ranked 10th in the worldwith $64,653 in earningson the year. First placebelongs to Ethen Thouvenellof Napa, Calif. Eventhough Jones is $34,000off the leader, it’s a marginthat can be bridged in onlytwo nights in the finals.“Bulldogging is the tightestevent out there,” Jonessaid. “There’s not a wholelot of difference in earnings,and they give out somuch money in Vegas. Ifyou do good in the Finalsyou have a good shot of winningthe world. You can geta lot of money put togetherin 10 nights. At the NFRyou want to prepare whereyou’ve eliminated all theobstacles. You want to bephysically and mentally fit.You want to go in there andjust let your body react.“I just have to go outthere and have fun. If Istart worrying too muchabout winning and gettingnervous, that’s when it getshard. It seems like a reliefnow to be back entered. Ican just go back to being acowboy.”His bulldogging horsethis year is a seven-yearoldblack mare namedSmoker, owned by Jud Littlein Oklahoma. Sparingis riding a former bulldogginghorse named Payday.“He’s hazed for me allyear,” Jones said of Sparing.“And I’m a big believerthat you dance with thegirl you brought.“Maybe I’ll steal a littleyouth from him every nightand we’ll be an averageagedteam.”Or maybe the other competitorsmight like to steala little of whatever Joneshas, now that he has overcomean injury that kepthim out of the NFR since2008. After all, a yearago he thought he mightbe finished. Now he’s gota chance to win a worldchampionship.At least this year, Joneswill have an opportunityto jump off a horse racingat top speed onto an angrysteer barreling across anarena floor without a brokenbone in his back.Rhonda J.

HWY 101 • BRIDGEPORT • 940-683-2005Dump Trucksfor HireAbout the filmIt’s a good sign for Americathat people are showingup for a major release thatdoesn’t contain vampires orcostumed superheroes.“Lincoln” is doing quitewell; the audience with theMovie Man was filled witholder adults whose grandkidswere probably watchingthe (mercifully) final“Twilight.”Ask “Twilight” folk aboutAbraham Lincoln and you’llhear all about his vampirekillingskills.Ask an old-timer or filmnerd and they’ll tell youabout “Young Mr. Lincoln,”a beloved movie from thegreatest year in Hollywoodhistory, 1939. Like StevenSpielberg’s current “Lincoln,”“Young Mr. Lincoln,”too, had a popular directorof the day, John Ford. Andactor Henry Fonda wasas skilled and as highlythought of as our DanielDay-Lewis.While the ’39 movie focusedon, well, young Mr.Lincoln, Spielberg’s filmis set during the final fourmonths of Lincoln’s life —the Civil War and the politicsof slavery. Ford’s movieis considered one of thegreats, which is quite a featsince 1939 also included“The Wizard of Oz” “Goodbye,Mr. Chips;” “Stagecoach;”“Mr. Smith Goes toWashington;” and a littlemovie called “Gone with theWind.” (”GwtW” remainsthe biggest moneymakingmovie ever in Americawhen adjusted for inflation,$1,571,907,190.)An almost three-hourmovie about an old presidentmight sound like ahard-sell to modern moviegoersbut enough are turningout that “Lincoln” mightmake it to the $100 million— the sought-after benchmarkfor “success.”Starring: DanielDay-Lewis,Sally Field, DavidStrathairnDirected by:Steven SpielbergRated PG-13for: language,violence, gore,political conundrumsIt’s an adult movie; theMovie Man can see teenagersby the score mockingand finally leaving the auditoriumas the intricacies ofpolitics — “all that talking!”— goes on and on. (Naturally,some teens out there arelike Teen Movie Man was, -intelligent and anxious for avariety of cinematic experiences.But, let’s face it, mostwant glittery vampires orNorse gods with hammers.)The plotLincoln (Day-Lewis) is reelectedto the presidency asthe Civil War continues tokill hundreds of thousandsof Americans. He is determinedto stop the carnageand at the same time, hewants an amendment addedto the Constitution thatends slavery.And he wants thatamendment before peace isarranged — something thatcould happen soon. But it’sfar from easy-going. If Lincolnwill just wait for thenew representatives to beseated in a few months, he’llhave a majority, and the newlaw will pass easily. However,he wants it now, andnot only is there infightingwithin his own cabinet thatincludes Secretary of StateSeward (David Strathairn),but also Lincoln is 20 votesshort of the needed majority.Seward, at Lincoln’sbehest, gathers a ThreeStooges-like trio of fellows(James Spader, JohnHawkes and TimBlake Nelson) whoclandestinely attemptto woo thosenecessary votes withpromises of futurepolitical appointments.Meanwhile, thingsare tough on Lincolnat home as his wifeMary Todd (SallyField) still is tryingto come to grips withthe death of a son.And now her oldest,Robert (Joseph Gordon-Levitt),wants tojoin and fight for the Union.In nearby Virginia, Lincolnstashes a trio of Southerners,including Confederatevice-president Stephens(Jackie Earle Haley), whowant to talk peace thanksto the efforts of aging politicianBlair (Hal Holbrook).That causes even more politicalwrangling, which isthen amped up by cantankerousThaddeus Stevens(Tommy Lee Jones).The slavery vote countand the peace accord aredovetailing with Lincolnwanting the vote before thepeace, believing it essentialfor the Union to reunite.PREGNANCY ANDDIABETESWhen it comes to our bodies, many of us only pay particular attention whentrouble arises. However, the preventive approach to health care focuses onaverting health problems and maintaining optimum health. A group of ob-gynswho see greater wisdom in following the preventive approach has recommendedthat women schedule a “wellwoman appointment” with their doctors everyyear. Aside from being utilized for the purpose of undergoing pelvic exams(which the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommendsbe performed annually starting at age 21), yearly wellwoman visits can also beused for breast exams and other recommended screenings. At the very least,well-woman visits provide an opportunity for women to talk about theirhealth issues.Today’s women are more aware of their body’s needs and the options availablefor continued well-being and healthcare. Our practice is devoted to the careof women and finding the best solution to your needs. When you require thecare of a gynecologist, call WISE OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY P.A. at940-626-8008 to schedule an appointment. Our office is conveniently located at2451 South FM 51, Suite 300, Decatur. New patients are welcome.P.S. Women are encouraged to regularly discuss obesity, smoking, physicalactivity, and sexual behavior with their gynecologists as a means of avoidingproblems and preserving good health.Terry Vaughan Concrete• House Foundations• Driveways• Basements• Retaining Walls• All Concrete WorkWhat worksAll the hype is true: Day-Lewis is a great Lincoln.Sometimes roles come alongwhere actors totally fill thepart — George C. Scott in“Patton,” Jamie Foxx as“Ray.” Day-Lewis looks likeLincoln and mimics hisslow, carefully consideredspeech patterns and distantponderings. He’ll be hard tobeat at Oscar time.What was especially wonderfulabout “Lincoln” wasthe jam-packed supportingcast. Field, Holbrookand Strathairn shine, andthe movie receives a muchneededinvigoration whenJones appears. The trio ofHawkes (also likely a 2013Best Actor nominee for oneof those movies no one isever going to see, “The Sessions”)Blake, and, especially,a randy, foul-mouthed Spaderreally juice the movie outof its endless talking.A good thing about so manybig names — plus recognizablecharacter actors BruceMcGill and Jared Harris —in “Lincoln” is that it helpsdifferentiate all those fuzzyfaced,white men who speakeloquently and often.The opening scene is powerfuland teared up theMovie Man right off the bat.Some might see it as a bittoo posturing and sentimental— anti-Spielberg folk accusehim of that — but it’s gotclout.Another scene where Fieldskillfully dresses down Jonesat a reception brings somewily humor to things.Best sceneHusband and wife Day-Lewis and Field are alone intheir White House room. Sheis imploring him to not lettheir son register for the war;it’ll kill her after her agonizingtime following the deathof one son. Day-Lewis, whoseLincoln has been so calm andconsidering, finally snaps.He, too, has mourned, herants, but he never made itabout himself as she does. It’slike hearing a preacher cusswhen Day-Lewis, who hadquite a bit on his plate, letsloose.What doesn’t workThis movie talks a lot.

I confessed, “I atetoo much ... and then I atesome more.” Confession maybe good for the soul, but mypants are still too tight.One of the young ladies inour church is getting marriedin six months. She saidshe was going for one morebig meal before she startsher wedding diet. I think Iwill start mine with her. IfI am looking good in timefor her wedding, I shouldbe quite the dashing andsvelte father of the groomwhen my son gets married amonth later.That was our big Thanksgivingblessing — the announcementof our son’s engagement.We have prayedfor this precious young ladyfor over 22 years, since beforeour baby boy was born.And God has answered ourprayers beyond what wecould ever have imagined.As I write, I am hearingthe church budget committeein the next room discusshow to fund the ministry visionof the church for nextyear.

We have almostcomplete control overhow we prepare ourselves torespond to what happens tous in the future.So, column boy, how doyou propose that we do thispreparation thing? Whata great question! You areamazing!I propose we go to the unchangingeternal truth ofGod’s word. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is inspiredby God and is usefulto teach us what is true andto make us realize what iswrong in our lives. It correctsus when we are wrongand teaches us to do what isright. God uses it to prepareand equip his people to doevery good work.”Our lives matter so muchBuy ittoday for:to God that He has providedresources to prepare andequip us for whatever thefuture holds.Maybe I better start thatwedding diet today.Dr. Gerry Lewis is directorof missions for the HarvestBaptist Association, which isheadquartered in Decatur.

16 ALL AROUND WISE • A PART OF THE WISE COUNTY MESSENGER Decatur, Texas, Wednesday, November 28, 2012OutdoorsTreat tulips as annuals for best resultsBy NEIL SPERRYDear Neil: Do you have anypecial suggestions for plantngtulips in our flowerbeds?Do I leave them in the groundover the summer?Buy only the highest qualitytulip bulbs. Those will generallybe found at full-timeretail nurseries, and not asbargain bulb collections. Theymust have at least 45 days ofchilling at 45 degrees (but notfreezing). That translates into45 days in the vegetable bin ofthe refrigerator, and that willfool them into thinking thatthey’ve had a normal winter,even in balmy Texas.Unfortunately, you’re almosttoo late to begin thatprocess for this winter. Thechilling needs to be completedby mid- to late December inorder for them to bloom properlyin early spring. Plantthem in well-prepared gardensoil, and snug them togetherby planting them only an inchor two apart. They should beset two times as deep as thebulbs are tall.As for what you might expectin future years, almostall tulips are best treated asannuals. Once they finishblooming in the spring, youprobably should dig and discardthem. They rarely comeback to bloom in successiveyears. One particular groupof tulips, known as “species”types, often will establish andrebloom. They are not commonlyavailable, however, soyou’ll want to ask local independentretailers for them.Online bulb specialists alsooffer them.Dear Neil: I grew up inSouth Texas,and Chinesephotinias werefairly commonin our neighborhood.But,nurserymenGardener’s tell me nowMailbag that they don’toffer them.They say thateveryone wants redtip photiniasinstead. Can I grow myown from seeds? What tipswould you offer?Chinese photinias are farsuperior to redtips. They arehighly resistant (if not immune)to the Entomosporiumfungal leaf spot that has renderedredtips as ultimatelychallenging landscapingshrubs all over America. Theonly problem, as you noted,is that no one grows and sellsthem now.Chinese photinias growquickly and easily from seeds.Look around older neighborhoodsfor plants that havethe large clusters of brick-redfruit. Ask permission to gatherseeds, then plant them immediately,two or three seedsper 4-inch pot. Keep themmoist all winter. Pull soil uparound the pots and mulchover them with shredded treeleaves to offer them protectionfrom extreme cold. You’llget good germination, and theplants will be large enough tobe potted into one-gallon containersby late spring.Dear Neil: You mentionedin a recent column that a hibiscusflower with five petalswould probably be a fluke, butthat if it were double-flowering,that would be more significant.I have a hibiscus plantwith double flowers. Why is itmore notable?There are many doublefloweringvarieties of tropicalhibiscus already in the market.Simply finding one moreisn’t of a lot of importance, butfinding a single type that hasmutated to produce doubleflowers might constitute a newvariety. You could compare thatto finding a mutation from oneflower color to another.Dear Neil: My grass bladesare turning yellow. Not in solidclumps, but mixed in withthe green grass. Could thatbe chinch bugs? What actionshould I take?You didn’t say what type oflawn you have, but I’ll answerby assuming it to be St. Augustine.Chinch bugs are hotweatherpests, so I don’t thinkthat would be what you havecurrently. It’s much more likelythat it’s brown patch, a fungalleaf disease that attacksthe blades where they attachto the runners. Pull on a fewleaves. If they separate easilyfrom the runners (stolons),and if you can see decayed andbrowned tissues, that’s the evidenceyou’re looking for.Brown patch will show upeach fall, especially during periodswhen the grass is moist.Your local nursery will havesuitable labeled fungicides.Special note to a couple of peoplewho have written askingwhy I do recommend a particularorganic control that’scommonly sold for lawn diseasecontrol (name withheldintentionally): I’ve alwaysmade it my policy to stick topest control recommendationsthat follow Texas A&M guidelinesand that also have stateregistration.Dear Neil: I have two gumtree seedlings that have comeup in my flowerbed. One ofthem may be black gum, whilethe other may be sweet gum.How can I tell the difference?They’re two unrelated trees,and telling them apart shouldbe easy. Black gum (Nyssa sylvatica)leaves are oval from theoutset, while sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua) seedlingshave star-shaped leavesas soon as they germinate.Have a question you’d likeNeil to consider? Mail it tohim in care of the Wise CountyMessenger, P.O. Box 149, Decatur,TX 76234 or email him atmailbag@sperrygardens.com.Neil regrets that he cannot replyto questions individually.ALL NEWSERVICE& PARTSCENTER!NOW OPENSATURDAYS7:30AM-1 PMOROROROROROROROROR
