GARDENERS MAILBAGblackish-brown if they get any sunlight at all. Choose another plant if you replant there. Dear Neil: Id like to get rid of pampasgrass roots that are in my yard. The top is gone, but Im sure it will come back next year. Thats probably not the best way to solve your problem. Any chemical you put into the soil to kill grass roots will probably do damage to other desirable plants for some months to come. You have two better options. If youre going to be planting shrubs, groundcovers, owers or even turf there come spring, you could actually rototill the area and rake out the roots. Option two would be to wait until spring, then spray the regrowth with Round Up or some other glyphosate herbicide. They kill grasses very effectively. One of those actually would have been your easiest route initially. Dear Neil: How can I get honeysuckle vines out of an azalea bed? Honeysuckle plants start growing, then send out long branches in all directions. You may see vines in several of your azaleas, and, on closer inspection, they may all come from one root system. Trace the stems back to the ground, then handdig each plant that you nd. Youll need to clip each honeysuckle vine by hand, then remove it from the azalea branch carefully. You cant pull the honeysuckle off the azalea without doing damage to your shrubs. Dear Neil: Were putting in a swimming pool next spring, and there is a Bradford pear in its place currently. The tree is about ve years old. Can we move it successfully? You probably could, but it would probably take power equipment. If its trunk is more than 3 inches in diameter, its soil ball will be quite heavy. In all candor, Bradford pears also have a major branching problem that shortens their useful life in our landscapes. Their branch angles are quite narrow and weak, subject to breaking after 8 or 10 years. The point is, you would probably be better served with another type of tree. Little Gem or Teddy Bear magnolias are very desirable. Dear Neil: I have beds of violets I would like to transplant. When is the best time to do so? Late fall is best, but not all is lost now, either. Moving them at the end of the winter (February) would sacrice some of that years owers, but the plants would take off quickly and reestablish immediately. Dear Neil: I have a giant pothos on a pole. Ive had it for several years, and now the leaves arent so giant after all. What did I do wrong? Those smaller leaves are probably on stems that have reached the top of the pole and that are now drooping downward. The huge leaves of giant-leafed pothos, or devils ivy, are actually the adult foliage. The smaller leaves are juvenile growth, and the plant will always produce them when its stems are not ascending a support. By the same token, split leaf philodendron (the vining type) only develops the holes in its leaves when its stems are climbing. If its allowed to trail and hang downward, the leaves develop full and, to use a botanical term, entire (no holes). Trim the hanging growth off your plant. Root it, if you wish, and start it growing up a new pole. Dear Neil: What are the best plants to draw birds to our landscape?

BY NEIL SPERRY

Dear Neil: I was given a Christmas cactus as a gift. How do I care for it once it nishes blooming? Keep it bright and comparatively warm (between 60 and 90 degrees). Theyre native to tropical rain forests, where they grow suspended from tree trunks. It rains incredible amounts, but the water drains away quickly. That tells you that youll need a very porous potting soil.

Dear Neil: Enclosed are leaves from Nellie R. Stevens hollies planted late last spring. Their bed is in partial shade. My aucubas leaves are also enclosed. Does it have the same problem? Neither plant has grown. Should I give up on them? The holly leaves look like you let the plant get too dry at least once. Its the perfect plant for a site like you described. You probably need to replant, then be very attentive to its water needs. No insect or disease is involved. The aucuba may also have gotten too dry, but it may also have gotten too much sunlight. Hollies are great in all conditions, from full sun to fairly heavy shade, but aucubas will turn

Consider what birds look for in plantsfood, a place to build nests and safety. The best fruit-producing plants would include pyracanthas, hollies (especially yaupon and possumhaw), the various privets and mahonias. Dense, tightly branched plants will provide the best nest-building sites as well as good security and privacy. Truth is, you could probably attract many more birds, and more types as well, with feeders scattered over your yard. Most types of songbirds love the small black oil-type sunower seeds. Hang several feeders some distance apart for maximum bird activity in your garden. Have a question youd like Neil to consider? Mail it to him in care of the Wise County Messenger, P.O. Box 149, Decatur, TX 76234 or email him at [email protected]. Neil regrets that he cannot reply to questions individually.

MOMMY, MY THROAT HURTSStrep throat is a contagious disease caused by infection with streptococcal bacteria. The symptoms include fever, pain, redness, and swelling of the throat. It is more widespread during the school year when a large number of children occupy an enclosed space. The bacteria are present in the nose and throat, so normal activities such as sneezing, coughing, or shaking hands can spread the infection to other people. The infection can also be acquired by touching objects such as books, tables, or other hard surfaces that were handled by an infected person. Most cases of a sore throat are caused by a virus and are not strep throat. The viral sore throat improves on its own without any treatment. If you would like further information on todays topic, contact LOVETTE PEDIATRICS at (940) 627-8044. Come in and discuss your concerns with our doctor, a Board Certified Pediatrician. We can be an important source of care, information, and support for you and your children.

FEWER WOMEN HAVING CHILDRENAccording to a recent Census Bureau report, more women in their early 40s are childless. In addition, women who are having children are having fewer than ever before. According to the latest statistics, during the past three decades, the number of women aged 40-44 with no children has doubled, from 10% to 20%. In addition, those who are mothers have an average of 1.9 children each, which is more than one child fewer than women of the same age in 1976. According to the survey of 76 million women, those with graduate/professional degrees recorded the most births of all educational levels. About 36% of women who gave birth in the previous 12 months were separated, divorced, widowed, or unmarried. At our practice we provide gynecological care for women at all stages of life. Whether its routine pap tests, menopause care, mammograms, or questions about fertility problems, our caring staff is here to help.

WISE NOTESBy TANYA DAVIS WISE CO. EXTENSION AGENT As the temperature outside continues to drop, it is easy to simply want to cuddle up on the couch with a warm cup of hot cocoa, snacks and your favorite holiday movie. However, with the rising obesity levels, especially among children, staying active before, during and after the holidays is an important part of being healthy. A key way to help your children become healthy adults is to encourage an active lifestyle. Children in the United States today are less t than they were a generation ago, and physical inactivity has become a serious problem. So, what can parents do to help increase the entire familys tness level? First and foremost, parents can

FOR

CONSUMERSold and older should get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise on most, and preferably all, days of the week, with adolescents and adults getting at least 30 minutes. As winter approaches, here are some helpful ways to increase your familys physical activity time: Establish a weekly Dance-A-Thon night, dancing to a variety of favorite music from various eras. Work together in a family garden. Put up and take down holiday decorations outside as a family. Being active is a crucial element of health for all ages. So this year, resolve to take small steps to help your family make behavior changes that will keep them moving toward better health in the coming year.

be good role models. If children do not see the adults in their lives taking interest in hobbies and participating in activities that promote continuous movement for 30 to 60 minutes a day, they are less likely to adopt active lifestyles. Decreasing screen time for families during the holidays is another way parents can increase the family tness level. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the average child watches about three hours of television a day. Choosing to turn off the television or computer and taking an outdoor family walk to see neighborhood holiday decorations or just dancing around in the family

room to favorite music are two ways to keep the family moving. Take every opportunity to establish good viewing habits and ensure that children have no more than two hours of television and video time per day, as recommended by the AAP. Parents should also encourage their kids to do a variety of activities. For DAVIS children, exercise means playing and being physically active. Kids exercise in gym class, walking or playing fetch with the dog, or even playing tag inand outdoors.

Winter is upon us, and it is time to start getting ready for those cold nights and days. It is very important that you have the proper shelter for your animal. Your project will need somewhere to keep warm and dry and a place where he/she can bed down for the night on a dry area. Pigs are very susceptible to getting sick. The idea shelter for your hogs would be a covered box with hay or pine shavings as well as heat lamps. Sheep should always have a blanket on no matter what, but during the colder days, make sure they have some wool that can keep them warm. You should leave the wool on them about 1 to 1/2 long; that will provide some warmth to the lambs. Rabbits, chickens and all other livestock should be kept as warm as possible. If you are not ofcially enrolled in Wise County 4-H by Dec. 30, you will not be able to participate in the Wise County Youth Fair as a 4-H member. We advise all members who turned in a green enrollment sheet to doublecheck with the 4-H ofce to see if they are on the ofcial member list before the December deadline to prevent any unfortunate mistakes. Wise County Youth Fair Tag-In will be Jan. 3, 2009, for all sheep, goats, hogs and non-registered beef heifers.

MIKE WHEAT940.627.2177EVERYTHING IS COOKED TO ORDER!

TEXAS HEALTH MATTERSWild game is flavorful, but requires safety stepsaccording to centuries-old recipes. But while our frontier ancestors may have perfected the cooking of game animals, todays chefs know a lot more about safe preparation. Thats crucial when cooking animals that have been shot and eld-dressed in the wild and arent subject to ofcial inspections. The two most common health concerns raised by game consumption are exposure to salmonella and E. coli bacteria. Bacterial disease threats include kidney failure among the very young, hemorrhagic colitis and a blood-clotting disorder called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. These dangers can be greatly reduced, however, by following some basic rules that protect your familys health while also improving the avor and tenderness of wild game.

TEXAS HEALTH MATTERScooler to prevent bacterial growth. When refrigeration isnt possible, hang the bird carcasses to allow air circulation. Before you cook The meat of birds and mammals tends to be very lean, so many prep techniques youd use for, say, beef tenderloin or farmraised turkey also work well for game. For example, brining (pre-soaking in salty water for as long as four days) adds avor and improves moisture by salinating muscle tissue and causing it to absorb water from the brine. In addition, many cooks swear by the results of pre-marinating game in a mixture of olive oil, white wine, black pepper, salt and herbs. Other techniques that deliver juicier texture and richer taste include larding the meat with bacon, injecting seasoned broth with a special meat syringe and quick-searing venison cutlets or the breast meat of turkeys and other game birds before roasting in the oven. Getting down to business When cooking wild birds and animals, use your imagination or any recipes you may have for rich-tasting lean cuts of meat. In general, venison goes well with avors such as black pepper, red wine, rich fruits such as g, or smoky sauces made from meat juice reductions. Wild hog should be treated as what it is: unusually lean and intense-avored pork. Slow cooking in a smoker is one favored technique. For a truly old-school experience, baste the meat in oil, salt, pepper and herbs, then cook it in a pit full of coals (see link below), covered tightly in several layers of heavy foil. Game birds can be used in most recipes for comContinued on page 10

Be careful not to let intestinal contents touch edible meat. If contact is made, discard any contaminated esh. Trim as much exterior fat as possible; its a major source of the gamey avor disliked by many. After eld dressing the animal, hang the carcass to drain blood, and be sure to cool the meat as soon as possible after the kill. Venison can keep for a day or two at temperatures as high as 50 degrees, but the sooner its refrigerated, the better. Wild birds also should be cooled as soon as possible after they are killed. Remove the crop and entrails promptly to avoid fermentation, and dont store warm wild birds in a mass. If possible, put your birds in a

TEXAS HEALTH MATTERSContinued from page 8 mercially raised chicken or turkey. Roasting, smoking and quick-sauteeing tend to yield better results than batter-frying or use in soups. Dove breast, however, can be excellent when stewed slowly in chicken stock, red wine, herbs and vegetables. Finally, if youre planning a non-traditional holiday menu, look to ethnic cookbooks that feature the meat you have at hand. Asian cookbooks, for example, have many recipes calling for duck or barbecued lean pork. Cooking food from the wild lets you turn out holiday meals that combine the feel of ancient tradition with intriguing avors your family may not have experienced before.
