We envision a worldwhere everyone can explore
and create meaningful con-nections with the peopleand places [they] encounter.
Couchsurfing.org VisionStatement
When I reached the Tex-arkana city limits, the first
thing I did was place a phonecall to a complete stranger.
is name was Michael, andhe had agreed, sight unseen,to host me for the evening.
Only a few weeks prior, Ihad heard a mountain lion
scream just a dozen yardsfrom where I was camping,
so an evening with a fellowhuman sounded like an ab-solute vacation.
Both Michael and themountain lion bring to mind
probably the second mostfrequently asked question
ve received while hik-ing the perimeter of Texas:Where do you sleep? A
glance at my backpack withits attached sleeping bag
is usually answer enough.Along the way, however, I
have also been put up byfamily, friends, and the oc-casional good Samaritan,
but many of these visitshave been spontaneous and
without much planning.Showing up to a big town
and not knowing a soul canbe a daunting reality, so twohundred miles into the trek,
signed up for an onlineresource, a Web site whose
name reflects the valuesand goals of many a lonely
traveler. The site I turned towas Couchsurfing.org.
Couchsurfing is slang
for sleeping on someoneelses couch. On its most ba-
sic level, Couchsurfing.org isa way to travel around on a
shoestring budget, introduc-ing travelers to potential
hosts (and their couches) fora night or more. Its a moreintimate, less spontaneous
version of hitchhiking, butbecause the first point of con-
tact is done online, theres anice buffer zone for careful
reflection. Since 2004, itsbeen something of an inter-national phenomenon with
members in over 230 coun-tries and territories around
the world.To the uninitiated, the
very mention of couchsurf-ing is usually accompa-
nied by the question Is thissafe? As luck would have
it, there is a button on theWeb site labeled Is
This Safe? loadedwith general ad-
vice and suggestedguidelines, the moststraightforward be-
ing Use Your Com-mon Sense. Per-
haps attributableto some of these
tips and built-insafety mechanisms,Couchsurfing.org
boasts an incredible 99.6percent positive feedback
from all its facilitated con-nections between travelers
and hosts.Of course, my parents
were not excited about the
idea, but once something as
big as my Texas hike slippedthrough their defenses, its
hard to put up much resis-tance to anything
else. Still, they voiced their opin
ions and told me tobe on my guard, asif the other guy was
the one who wasdirty, disheveled,
and hiking aroundthe state.
As it turns outMichael was an in-credible host. On
top of the comfy couch that Islept on, he arranged an in-
terview with the TexarkanaGazette, made breakfast ev-
ery morning, introduced meto his family and friends,showed me around town,

Commitment Runs Deep
Celebrating the Holiday Spirit
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: We have deer
in our area, and our neigh-bor has a huge Lady Bank-
sia rose that spills over theence and into our yard. Deer
ump the fence to get into ourard to strip it bare. Roses
have been described as un-
alatable to deer, but mostlants that are so described
havent proven to be so. Onlysalvias and rosemary seem
untouched. Comments?Most roses have enough
thorns that deer arent real-ly attracted to them. Howev-er, Lady Banksia is a thorn-
less type, which may explainwhy the deer relished it.
lus, when times are dry,deer will eat things they
normally would avoid. Theycan be such big problemswhere theyre common.
Dear Neil:Ive seen a lot of
Chinese tallow trees in East
Texas in my travels this fall.Are they going to invade the
rest of the state like theyvedone to the Gulf Coast? Howcan they be stopped?
Its always amazing to seeintroduced plants move into
an area and crowd out theexisting native ones. Chi-
nese tallows were revered40 and 50 years ago for
bringing reliable fall colorto a part of America (SouthTexas) that seldom had
much flash in the fall. Then,however, we found it explod-
ing into wetlands acrossSoutheast Texas. Its not
too likely to spread very farnorth due to winter kill, andits not likely to go very far
west because it needs morewater than will be available.
Privet is doing the samething. Youll find thousands
of acres of woodlands thathave it growing beneath thetrees in the same way that
yaupon holly covers much ofSouth Central Texas woods.
Short of head-on assaultwith brush cutters, axes and
herbicides, theres no magicsolution once these plantsget started.
Dear Neil: I have a large
live oak in my back yard that
needs to have some branchesremoved. When is the best
time to do so? I dont wantto harm the tree, and I dontwant oak wilt to become a
problem.Oak pruning is best done
during the coldest part ofthe winter, so your time is
here, now. Your second goodtime is during the hottest
part of the summer, namelylate July and August. Yourgoal is to do the pruning
when insect activity and oakwilt fungal outbreaks are
minimal. Spring is the worsttime. All oak cuts should be
protected with pruning seal-ant. (It is not recommendedfor use with other types of
trees than oaks.) If youreunsure of how to remove
branches from an estab-lished tree, you may want to
hire a certified arborist to dothe work for you. If you doit yourself, avoid stripping
bark off the main trunk asthe branches fall. Its best to
begin with an undercut ofthe branch being removed.
Cut about one-fourth of theway up into the branch frombelow. That cut should be
15-18 inches from the trunk.Second, cut completely
through the branch, from
top to bottom, 3-4 inches far-ther out from the undercut.
The weight of the branchwill strip the bark off the
bottom of the limb, but onlyas far as the undercut. Thethird and final cut should
be virtually flush with thetrunk.
Dear Neil: We live in a
new cul de sac, and were as-
tonished when the house nextto us was built within 7 feet
of our privacy fence. Whatcan we plant that will give
us year round screening? You didnt mention how
much space there is be-tween your house and yourfence. If that distance, too, is
only 7 feet, youll have to usesomething very compact.
Little Gem or Teddy Bearmagnolias would work well.
Little Gem is the larger ofthe two at maturity. Tree-form yaupon hollies are our
most common small ever-green screen. You could also
consider tree-form Nellie R.Stevens holly. Wax myrtles
are sometimes used in situ-ations like this, but manypeople find that they begin
to thin and die away just
a few years after planting.
Consider adding a decora-tive trellis to the top of your
fence and growing an ever-green vine such as Carolina
jessamine or Climbing Pin-kie or Lady Banksia rose.(Roses are semi-evergreen
in much of Texas, droppingmany of their leaves in re-
ally cold winters.)

Have a question youdlike Neil to consider? Mail
it to him in care of the WiseCounty Messenger, P.O. Box149, Decatur, Texas 76234,
or e-mail him at [email protected]. Neil re-
grets that he cannot reply toquestions individually.

and lent me a computer towork on. We also discoveredwe shared a mutual friend.
y visit, which ended up be-ing three days long, was so
far removed from campingnear a wild cat that its hard
to reconcile the two eventsas part of the same trip.
And yet they are. These
very different experiencesare united not only by my
project but by a commonpenetration into uncharted
territory. There is a gen-eral perception that the un-known is something to avoid,
but I disagree. Sure, I maynot have fully embraced this
ideology in the momentsthat followed the most pierc-
ing demonic scream Ive everheard in my life. However,
still believe its a higher
good to jump into somethingnew every now and again,
if for no other reason than
to affirm the belief that the
world is an enormous, won-drous creation, not all of ituninviting.

The holiday season brings
with it an overwhelmingspirit of generosity and lov-ing-kindness. Every where
you look people are throw-ing change into Salvation
Army buckets, taking angelsoff of the trees in order to
give presents to the needy
and, donating food items topantries. Do you want more
ideas for how to give back toyour community?
The answer to theses ques-tions lies in one word: volun-
teerism. Dr. Martin Luthering, Jr. Once said, Every-
one can be great because
anyone can serve. You donthave to have a college degree
to serve. You dont even haveto make your subject and
your verb agree to serve ...ou only need a heart full ofrace. A soul generated by
ove.Our county has so many
eople willing to reach outnd care for others in need.

e are happy to introduce
to you another way to focus
this desire to help and give
hope. You can now become a
aster Wellness Volunteer.
So, what exactly is a Mas-
ter Wellness Volunteer?
ellness is a state of health
that doesnt just involve the
absence of an illness. It is a
persons emotional, social,
spiritual, and financial well-
eing. It is my job as Family
nd Consumer Science agent
o promote wellness for our
ommunity through teach-
ng others. Master Wellness
Volunteers will have that
same opportunity.
Master Wellness Volun-
teers could help teach class-
es about the importance of
eating fruits and vegetables
to any age group. They could
help implement diabetes
education programming like
the Cooking Well with Diabe-
tes series coming up in 2010.
They could serve as Walk
Across Texas site managers.
Love to cook? Master Well-
ness Volunteers can provide
healthy recipe demonstra-
tions for people. The oppor-
tunities are endless.
Being a Master Wellness
Volunteer doesnt have to
mean getting up in front of
people and teaching a class.
It can also mean helping do
administrative tasks like
helping register people for
programming, entering im-
portant data gathered from
Extension programs into
computers, designing news-
letters or flyers. There is a

Some decisions are easier thanothers where your beef cattle op-eration is concerned. The decisionto creep feed or not creep feed isnot an easy one for most produc-ers. Like most aspects of the beefbusiness its a complex decisionthat should be analyzed each year
since there are a lot of variablesinvolved. Each producer shouldweigh their variables when making the de-cision if creep feeding is financially feasible
for them.Creep feeding simply put is a
way to supplement forage and milkfor unweaned calves with a feedsource not available to the mother.Creeping is usually done in freechoice feeders with feeds in the10-15 percent range. A 14 percentprotein pellet is the most popular.Nutritionists say forage quality isthe dominant factor in selecting

PLAY IT SAFEAll pediatricians agree that the bestway to avoid injury is to prevent injury.Before purchasing toys, be sure they
meet safety standards. First of all,never buy a toy small enough to fit inthe childs mouth. Keep in mindand
avoidtoys that shoot objects thatare smaller than the childs mouth.Purchase toys that do not have
sharp corners or edges. Steer clearof cords which can strangle. Alsoavoid toys that are too loud, and
this includes MP3 players, whichcan damage hearing. Check theequipment manual to find out how toadjust the maximum volume to a safe
level. Routinely inspect toys for signsof wear or broken parts, and toss
anything that looks dangerous.

Abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding, known as menorrhagia, can
be symptomatic of conditions such as fibroids or endometrial cancer.
While treatment of these underlying problems can bring relief from
uncomfortable and fatigue-inducing bleeding, heavy periods with
no known cause lend themselves to other treatments. These include
hormonal drugs, which preserve a womans childbearing ability, and
hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). In addition, there is another
treatment option for women who no longer wish to bear children.
Endometrial ablation involves the removal of the endometrium (the
uterine lining).The procedure is less invasive than hysterectomy and can
be performed on an outpatient basis. Ablation techniques include the use
of radio waves, freezing, and hot water.
A correct diagnosis of menorrhagia is important, since the treatments
can have serious side effects. Women should feel confident that they
understand all of their options, address questions and voice opinions
with their doctor. If you have questions about todays column or
would like to schedule an appointment, call WISE OBSTETRICS &
GYNECOLOGY P.A. at 940-626-8008. The office is convenientlylocated at 1713 South Fm 51, Ste. 201, Decatur. New patients arewelcome.
P.S. Menorrhagia is one of the most common gynecologic complaints.

A tragic, yet not uncom-
mon occurrence among pet
owners is that of animal
abuse. It is hard for many of
us to believe how someone
could inflict harm on such
loving and devoted crea-
tures, but it happens. More
often than not, it is the stray
and wandering dogs that
have been abused. We must
be aware of how to take the
right precautions when wel-coming a pet into the family,
who may have been abused.
ou want to make sure the
nimal knows it is now in a
safe and loving home where
t will be cared for properly.
Some warning signs of
buse and neglect can lead
to behavioral issues of ag-
gression, barking, destruc-
tive behavior, disobedient
behavior, and inappropriate
elimination that may have
lead to owner punishment
said Dr. M.A. Crist, Clinical
Assistant Professor at Texas
A&M College of Veterinary
Medicine. Conditions that
are suggestive of animal
abuse are animal welfare
issues such as a poor physi-cal state, abandonment, the
collar grown into the neck,
matted coat, ectoparasite in-
festation, and no veterinary
care. Physical injuries such
as bruising, eye injuries,
