On Sunday, Aug. 30, more

than 100 people attended

the dedication ceremony of

the Barbara Rhine Memo-

rial Basketball Court at

Oak Grove United Method-ist Church in Decatur.

The Revs. Jim Dean

and Fredric L. Utz led the

ceremony in memory of

ecatur native Barbara

hine, who was a mentor

and friend of Wise County

youth throughout her life-

time. Utz described Rhine

as a sweetheart, noting

her service as a youth coun-

selor at the First United

ethodist Church, as well

as her tireless devotion to

the youth at Oak Grove.

Surrounding her husband,

an, her son, Steven, and

grandson, Michael, were

other family members,

friends and former col-

leagues.

Rhine passed away in

September 2008 from com-

plications of a brain tu-

mor. The money to build

the basketball court came

from friends, family and

coworkers at Legend Bank

after she passed away. The

basketball court is nestled

under tall oak trees in a se-

rene setting. Barbara, who

served as dairy secretary

for more than 40 years, was

honored at the 2008 Wise

County Youth Fair.

DEDICATION Members of Barbara Rhines family inattendance at the dedication of the basketball court namedin her honor included her husband, Dan Rhine, son, StevenRhine, and grandson, Michael Rhine.

Down syndrome can be detected before a child is born. The first of two types

of prenatal tests used to detect Down syndrome is both cost-effective and easy

to perform. Because screening tests estimate the risk that a baby has Down

syndrome, but cannot provide a definitive answer, they are used to help parents

decide whether to undergo more testing. Diagnostic tests are about 99 percent

reliable in detecting Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities,

but they are invasive. For this reason, diagnostic testing was once reserved for

women age 35 and older. However, the American College of Obstetrics and

Gynecology now recommends that all pregnant women be offered screening

with the option for invasive diagnostic testing for Down syndrome.

A womans pregnancy is one of the most important tim es in her life. At our

practice, we understand that not all pregnancies are alike; therefore we provide

the most personalized and up to date care. For further information about

todays column, call WISE OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY P.A. at 940-

626-8008. Our office is conveniently located at 1713 South FM 51, Ste. 201,

Decatur. New patients are welcome.

Pregnant women are considered high risk for complications from the flu.

Flu shots are available for Dr. Smiths pregnant patients ONLY. Call for an

appointment.

P.S. Down syndrome, which is a condition involving extra genetic material that

causes mental and physical delays in child development, affects about one in

every 800 babies.

Penalties had the Eagle defense with its back against aall early in the game, but they rose to the occasion and

forced the Warriors to settle for a field goal. Kevin Haferland's13-yard touchdown run gave the Eagles a 6-3 lead going intohalftime. In the second half, the Liberty offense reached thered zone and threatened to score three times, but the Deca-tur defense held its ground and forced a turnover on downsor an attempted field goal. Damien Loving came through forthe Eagles in the second half with a 12-yard touchdown runand a 35-yard touchdown run. Cameron Harrison led the De-catur defense with several key tackles and an interceptionlate in the game to seal the victory. Haferland and Lovingcombined for 153 total rushing yards to lead the Decaturrunning attack.

y NEIL SPERRY

Dear Neil: I have three

crape myrtles that are ap-roximately 20 feet tall. They

are about 4 feet apart in thecenter of my flowerbed. Their

leaves are sparse and notdark green. There have beenvery few flowers. Is there a

ertilizer we should be ap-lying?Without seeing the plants,

its difficult to tell. Severalthings pop out instantly,however. Mainly, thats notnearly enough room forcrape myrtles of that height.They should be 12 or 14 feetapart to allow them to growto full size. Crowded plantsoften shade one anotherand cause the entire massto quit blooming properly.Crape myrtles need nitrogento grow and subsequently,to bloom. Apply it in April,June and August, essen-tially at the same times that

youre feeding your lawnand landscape.

Dear Neil: How do you

propagate figs from an exist-ing backyard tree?

Theyre very much likeany other shrub, in thattheyre started from cut-tings. Ive had good luck root-

ing semi-hardwood cuttingsin June and July. Trim theleaves in half with a knife orsharp scissors, to reduce theamount of leaf surface areathats exposed to the dry-ing conditions. I have postedgeneral information on root-ing all types of cuttings atmy Web site, www.neilsper-ry.com. Youll find it underthe Most-Asked Questionsbutton, under General. Igenerally refer readers thereto avoid redundant answersto all the plant propagationquestions that come in.

Dear Neil: Ive had beds

of vinca groundcovers foryears. About a month ago, it

looked like they were dying.The leaves shriveled and felloff. The plants got better, then

they did it again. Each time,it followed a light shower. It

also looks like something iseating all of its leaves. What

is it, and what can I do to

stop it? You have leafrollers. You

can see the evidence of thelarvae inside the rolls ofleaf tissues. Theyre verycommon with trailing vincagroundcovers, and they nor-mally start showing up bymid-summer. The rains werecoincidental. Use a systemic

insecticide, either as a sprayor in granular form in Juneeach year. Repeat as soon asyou see them coming backlater in the summer, shouldthat happen. For now, con-sider trimming the plantsrather heavily to removemany of the bare stems. The

vincas new growth this falland even into early winterwill quickly restore the bedto better condition.

Dear Neil: My 8- or 9-

year-old Moorpark apricottrees have never had blooms,

much less fruit. Is there any-thing I can do to encourage

them to have flowers andfruit?

The advice of experts is toexpect crops of apricots, atthe best, only one out of fouryears in Texas. The reasonis that they have very lowchilling requirements. Bythe time January is aboutover, theyve met their needs

for winter cold, and a warmspell can bring them intobud. Sadly, most years wehave additional freezes af-ter that time, and the buds,flowers or fruit are lost foranother year. Best advice isto hope for sustained coldduring the winter, followedby a frost-free early spring.

Theyre not at all depend-able in Texas, and your re-sults are common.

Dear Neil: We are fairly

new to Texas, and were stilllearning about many of the

native trees. Were seeingblack spots on many of theleaves of our live oaks. Grass

and shrubs are unaffected.Can you point us in the right

direction?Contact a licensed arbor-

ist who specializes in oakissues. Normally, oaks aregreat landscaping invest-ments, but oak wilt is cer-tainly present, and it is aserious threat. You need ahighly skilled tree expertto diagnose the issues andprescribe the best options incase this might be oak wilt.There is also as great dealof information available on-line from both Texas A&MHorticulture and Plant Pa-thology and from the Texas

Forest Service. Get the prosinvolved right away.

Dear Neil: My neighbor

planted two cottonwoods be-tween our houses about nine

years ago. Im having trou-ble with my foundation now.

Could the cottonwoods rootsbe causing damage?

Cottonwoods have veryshallow root systems, andthey use copious amountsof water as well. Add thosefacts, and they tell you thatcottonwoods could cause agreat deal of harm. The same

certified arborist describedabove could be of great helpto you. At a minimum, youneed to have a root barrierput in place near your foun-dation to deter root growthbeneath it.

Have a question youdlike Neil to consider? Mail

it to him in care of the WiseCounty Messenger, P.O. Box149, Decatur, TX 76234 or e-

mail him at mailbag@sper-rygardens.com. Neil regrets

IS PEDICULOSIS BUGGINGYOUR KIDS?

Pediculosis is a fancy word for aninfection caused by a commonchildhood pesthead lice. Head

lice are parasites that survive onhuman blood. They cannot jump orfly, but they are transmitted by the

sharing of hats, combs, hair ties,headrests, and pillows. Head liceare six-legged tan creatures aboutthe size of sesame seeds. Their

eggs, called nits, are smaller and areoften mistaken for dandruff. Infectedchildren will feel tingling and itching

sensations on their scalps and shouldbe treated with an over-the-counterlice removal shampoo, following

the directions carefully. Wash (inhot water) all combs, brushes, andanything that the infected childs

scalp could have come into contactwith in order to eradicate these pests.

4 MINUTES A DAY

4 minutes of revolutionary exercise equals 45-60 minutes of traditional

exercise (i.e. weight lifting and running)! Did you know that the calories you burn are related to

the amount of oxygen your body consumes? What if you could work 12 times the muscle cells as

traditional exercises?

Since I started 4 Minute Fitness 3 months ago, I have lost 35 pounds and have gone from a size24 to a size 16. Ive never been an athlete, but I can do anything for 4 minutes. I am so excited for

my future. For the first time in my life, I am physically fit, says Elizabeth Haley-Beaver,LVN from Decatur.

The Wise County Raid-

ers select baseball team

competed in the Western

ivision 2009 Super Series

ational Tournament July

18-24 in Woodland Park,

Colo. They were named

2009 Super Series 11-and-

under Minor National

Champions after going un-

defeated in seven games.Opening ceremonies were

July 18. The team checked

in that morning and began

trading pins with other

players from other teams.

This is a tradition the boys

always look forward to. Fol-

lowing this was the Parade

of Teams around the ball

field displaying their ban-

ners. The day ended with

skills competitions, which

included a home run derby,

round the horn and base

running. Cameron Starnes

of Bridgeport won the first

place trophy for the fastest

base runner.

Pool play began July

19. The Raiders faced the

Oklahoma Blackhawks for

the first game with a fi-

nal score of 10-7. The sec-

ond game of the day was

against the LS Express

with the score of 10-6. On

July 20, the Raiders played

two games again, and beat

the North Texas Bombers

13-3 and Mojo Silver 16-0.

Bracket play began July

21. The Raiders were the

No. 1 seed and played the

Oklahoma Blackhawks

again and won 18-6. The

boys had a day off July

22, and they attended the

Colorado Rockies game and

participated in a parade on

the field before the game.

Bracket play resumed

July 23. The Raiders played

the LS Express again and

won 13-6, which qualified

them for the championship

game later that night.

The championship game

was delayed for two hours

by rain, and the Raiders

were set to face off with LS

Express again. The entire

game was a hard fought

battle for both teams, but

the Raiders won the title

6-3.

They were awarded the

2009 Super Series Nation-

al Trophy and individual

trophies for each player.

The players also received

Super Series gold watches

and gold championship

rings.

Raiders players Caiden

Berry of Paradise, Shane

Buechele of Arlington,

Corbin Coleman of Bridge-port and William Suther-

land of Arlington were

named to the All-Tourna-

ment Team, and Skylar

Black of Chico was named

Offensive MVP.

The Raiders record for

the season is 43-14-2. The

team won four Super Se-

ries qualifier tournament,

one USSSA qualifier tour-

nament and the USSSA

State Championship.

They also had a third

place Super Series quali-

fier finish and won second

place in the Super Series

State Tournament.

The Raiders attributetheir success to the con-

stant support of family,

friends and sponsors, and

the team was told my sev-

eral people in Colorado that

they had never seen a more

unified group meaning

team, family and fans.

Benefiting the Womens Health Program at Wise Regional

By GARY CLAYTON

Wise Co. Extension Agent

If you have followed the major me-

dia outlets lately you already knowabout the Raspberry crazy ant.

This relatively new ant was discov-ered in 2002 when Tom Raspberry,a professional pest management

provider from Pearland discovereda population of a new pest ant near

asadena in Harris County. Hugenumbers of the ant literally covered

the landscape in industrial parksand residences.

In Texas, the common name is

aspberry crazy ant. The descriptionof the Texas version is very similar

to the species de-scription for the

Caribbean crazyant.

High numbersof the ant have

been found in lo-calized spot infes-tations in south-

east Houston andthe surrounding

area. Other infes-tations have been

confirmed in Brazoria, Fort Bend,Galveston, Hardin, Jefferson, Lib-erty, Montgomery, Orange, Walker

and Wharton Counties. According toTexas AgriLife entomologists, this

ant has the potential to spread wellbeyond the current range, but be-

ing a semi-tropical ant its potentialnorthern distribution may be limited

by colder weather conditions.The ant is about 1/8 inch long, red-

dish brown and nests in the landscapewhere queens, eggs, larvae and pupaecan be found. A colony contains mul-

tiple queens and can contain millionsof ants. This ant does not sting and

it will displace other ants, includingfire ants in the environment.

Entomologists are unsure at thistime if this ant will impact crop pro-duction. If you suspect this ant might

be on your property please contactme at (940) 627-3341.
