THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2009 WISE COUNTY MESSENGER

WISE COUNTY

Snowy holiday

Wise County’s dreams of snow on Christmas came true, with heavy snow falling much
of Christmas Eve and providing a winter wonderland for Christmas day. Clockwise,
from the top, Wayne Berg shovels his walkway at his Decatur home Friday morning;
lights shine on a carpet of snow in the Lipsey Addition in Decatur; a deer ventures
among trees in Deer Park; cows brave the icy winds Thursday near Lake Bridgeport;
Chris Moorman, 12, of Decatur is smashed by a large snowball Friday morning.

Peggy Capps, Carla McGee, Myra Oliver, Ben Armstrong, Kay Kitchens and Michelle Neely.
Martin Woodruff, and UWWC directors Susan Miller and Steve Summers. According to Miller,
who is Wood’s marketing manager, the dealership normally sells $5,000 worth of “kick to
win” tickets at the “Battle of Big Sandy” between Bridgeport and Decatur football teams.
It matches that amount to contribute $10,000 to United Way. But because of the hardship
the fatal accident caused, Wood immediately gave the ticket proceeds to the two Bridgeport
High School students’ families. Denison was fatally injured. OPENING MONDAY JANUARY 4

By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: I hope you can
help me with a weed problem
that I’ve been battling for
two years. We tilled in hay
a couple of years ago, and
we’ve had weeds ever since. I
spray them with Round Up,
and it kills everything above
ground, but new weeds
spring up within a couple
of weeks. Is there anything I
can do over the winter to get
rid of them?
Given that planting time
is only a month away for
the earliest of the spring
vegetables (onions and snap
peas), you don’t have time
to do any kind of solarizing
treatment of laying black
polyethylene plastic over the
garden. That’s not always
a perfect solution anyway.

Dear Neil: Is it better to

shorter one, in terms of get-

want to wait 20 years for my
first pecans.
That’s a great question,
and, good for you, for ask-
ing it ahead of time. Pecan
producers, who make their
livings harvesting pecans,
choose small-to-medium
trees, in the range of 5 to 6
feet tall. Because they are
buying so many trees at one
time, they use bare-rooted
trees. Then, to compensate
for the roots that are lost in
the process of digging the
trees, they cut their 6-foot
original trees back by half,
so they’re only 3feet tall.
You’ll probably get pecans
many years sooner by do-
ing that than you will if you
plant much larger 10- or 12-
foot trees. If all you want is
one tree, consider buying a
really nice container-grown
tree. Since all of its roots
will be intact in the con-
tainer, it will hardly pause
in its growth. You’ll gain
several years by doing that, the summer. Turf irrigation

Last week’s article focused
on grazing management
for the small acreage land-

expand that topic to look at
multi-pasture/short dura-

forage and profits.

benefits of multi-pasture

Along with age, family history, early-onset menstruation, not having

woman whether she has dense breast tissue. To compound matters,
dense breast tissue looks white on a mammogram and is more difficult
to evaluate. However, ultrasound and MRIs can be used as adjuncts to
mammography to help clarify the images.

Reader submitted photos

Readers submitted their own photos of the snowfall last week. Marla Torres captured a
snowy treeline in Chico. Snow fell on Pecan Street in Chico on Christmas Eve, below,
taken by Aracely Delgado. The Wise County Courthouse received a dusting of the
white stuff, taken by Jason Ticknor of Decatur, right.
