GARDENERS MAILBAG

BY NEIL SPERRY

Dear Neil: When is the

best time to transplant a

navel orange and grapefruit

tree? Also, I have lemon and

exican lime trees in pots.

The lime tree has given no

ruit. Should they be planted

in the ground?

Transplant those in latewinter, just before the burst

of spring growth. None ofthose is winter-hardy here,so youre going to have to

make provision to keepthem above freezing at all

times. We have had severalyears of mild winters in Tex-

as, but history has proventhat well eventually haveanother of those notable

cold spells some day, proba-bly sooner rather than later.

At that time, all the tenderplants that people have been

setting out will meet theirfates. Your plants all need tobe grown in large patio pots

and put into a greenhouseor large sunroom in the win-

ter.

Dear Neil: I have a ques-

tion Ive never seen ad-

dressed in your column. Weset out lots of pansies and

violas this fall, and they

have been virtually eaten to

the ground by cardinals. Is

there anything we can do, or

should we plant something

else?

Youre correct: that isan unusual situation. You

probably saw the cardinalsfeeding on the plants, and if

so, Ill yield to what youveseen. However, it soundsa lot more like nighttime

rabbit damage. For either,would suggest placing an

alternate food source nearthe beds. Cardinals love

black, oil-type sunflowerseeds. Rabbits like winterryegrass. Some gardeners

put blood meal around theirpansies to repel rabbits, but

dogs roll in it and can doust about as much damage.

Annual garden pinks wouldbe the best winter-hardy re-placement should you decide

to do that.

Dear Neil: I have a hedge

ow of redtip photinias

that are about 10 feet tall. I

want to prune them back to

around 4 feet. Can I do thatwithout killing them? When

should I do it?

Please forgive my bold-ness, but youre about to

make a serious mistake.

Redtip photinias are our

tallest landscaping shrubsin Texas (to 18 feet tall and10 or 12 feet wide if un-

pruned). To cut them backas severely as you describe

would weaken the plants sobadly that they might nev-

er look right again. It alsowould increase the odds

of spreading Entomospo-rium fungal leaf spot intothe weakened tissues. That

disease is rampant, and wehave no effective control for

it. But, to your answer, thetime to prune redtips wouldbe January before spring

growth breaks out. Try toleave as many leaves as you

can to sustain the plants.

Dear Neil:I garden in a

gray clay soil. It got packed

harder and harder as the

season progressed until my

plants just couldnt cope any

longer. What can I do to get

better soil next time around?

Spend the balance of thiswinter improving the soil.

Use a rear-tine rototillerto pulverize the soil thor-

oughly. Work in shreddedtree leaves and compost. Ifyou have access to well-rot-

ted manure, put a coupleof inches of it in, too. Add

a couple of inches of Cana-dian peat moss and one inchof finely ground pine bark

mulch as well. Finally, addone inch of washed brick

sand, or, better, one inch ofexpanded shale. Rototill to

blend all of those materials

together, and youll have a

garden soil that will almosthave the consistency of finepotting soil.

Dear Neil: Snails are de-

vouring my new transplants.

What can I do to stop them?

Use snail and slug baitsaround the plants. Youll

have to replace the bait eachtime you water or after ev-ery rainfall. Sevin dust also

works well. Dust it acrossthe plants leaves and the

adjacent soil. If you haveloose, organic mulch thatmight be harboring them

when theyre not feeding,you might want to remove it

carefully until the problemabates.

Dear Neil: What would

cause the leaves of a coral

bark maple to curl and turn

brown? Also, as you can see

from the photo, the branch-

ing is weak and erratic.

Help!

Answer: Coral bark ma-

ples struggle with Texas in-tense summer sun, also with

alkaline soil. Your tree lookslike its older leaves prob-ably scorched in the hot-

test part of the summer. Youmay want to consider mov-

ing it to a more protected lo-cation this winter. As for thebranching, that should self-

solve. My tree showed someof the same growth initially,

but it outgrew it.

Dear Neil: How can we

protect peach trees from the

insects and diseases that

seem to ruin them every

year?

Peaches require regularspraying. Youll be applying

something in every season.Go online to the Texas A&M

Entomology Web site andlook for homeowner spray-

ing information, then stickto it religiously if you expectto have peaches.

WISE NOTESFOR CONSUMERSBy TANYA DAVIS

WISE CO. EXTENSIONAGENT

One of the fastest growing

gifts around is not the latestvideo game, but the gift card.

o matter the oc-casion, youre sure

to receive at leastone. Gift cards offer

many convenienc-es. For the giver, itmeans you wont

make a mistake onsize, color or style.

or the recipient,it means not hav-ing to return a

gift that didnt fit,you already had or

ust wasnt you. One impor-tant item to consider is the

stability of the retailer. Insome cases with a companygoing out of business, their

gift cards might be renderedworthless.

Dr. Joyce Cavanaugh, Ex-tension Family Economics

specialist, offers advice andrecommendations that weshould all consider when

choosing just the right giftcard.

Should it be a retail cardor bank card?

Most of us are familiar withthe retail gift card. These arecards that are bought at and

can be used at a particular re-tail establishment. Some re-

tail gift cards can be used atother establishments owned

by the corporation. These es-

tablishments would be listedon the back of the card.

Bank gift cards are gainingin popularity. These cardscarry the logo of credit, debit,

or charge card companieslike American Express, Mas-

terCard, Visa orDiscover. They may

be issued directlyby the company or

by a bank, mall orother institutionand carry the credit

card company logo.The advantage of

bank gift cards isthat they can beused anywhere

that type of credit,debit or charge card

is accepted; and it may allowthe owner to withdraw cash

at ATMs. Mall cards, how-ever, can only be used at thenamed mall or mall chain.

While gift cards may seemlike the perfect gift, there

are some things you needto know before buying one.

Here are some things to lookfor when buying gift cards:! Expiration dates. Does

the card have an expirationdate? It should be visible on

the card or packaging.! Can a card be replaced

if it is lost or stolen before itsvalue has been used up andis there a fee?

! Can the bank card beused to obtain cash from an

ATM, and is there a fee?! Is there a monthly

maintenance fee? The fees

will kick in automatically,whether the card has been

used or not.! Some bank cards allow

the user to reload, or add

more value, to the card. Ifthis is an option, check to

see if there are charges forreloading.

For those who give or re-

ceive gift cards, consider thefollowing recommendations:

Givers should review allterms and conditions of a re-tail or bank gift card before

purchase. You may decideagainst a card with a lot of

fees that could drain the val-ue of the card or one where

this information is not read-

ily available. Givers shouldsend the original receipt with

the card so the recipient canmore easily obtain a replace-ment if the card is lost or sto-

len. Recipients should reviewthe terms and conditions of a

gift card immediately uponreceipt. If there is an expira-

tion date, use the card imme-

diately. If you receive a bankgift card, avoid transactions

that will result in fees.I hope this information

proves useful as you pur-

chase those last minute gifts.For additional information,

contact Texas AgriLife Ex-tensions Wise County office

at (940) 627-3341.

MAKE SUMMER

CAMP WORRY FREESome important considerationswhen choosing a summer campare the medical and safety servicesavailable at the camp. According torecommendations from the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics, a good campwill have written health policies andprotocols. All children attending thecamp should be required to havehad a complete exam by a doctor inthe past year and be up-to-date onall childhood shots. Parents shouldmake sure the leaders have a detailedhealth history of their child, including

any significant illnesses, operations,injuries, allergies, and any currentmedical problems. If a child has specificallergies, the parents should sendalong allergy medications or Epi-pensin case the child suffers a seriousattack if exposed to a known allergen.

TEXAS HEALTH MATTERS

Drink the first glass. Siphe second slowly. Skip the

hird.

Attributed to Knute

ockne, former Notre Dame

ootball coach

With Christmas and Newears Day cited by health

experts as among the high-est-risk periods for heavy

alcohol consumption, itsclear that Christmas trees

arent all that tend to bewell lit during the holi-days.

Even people who general-ly are light drinkers some-

times overdo it at holidayparties, according to Mimi

artinez-McKay of theTexas Department of State

ealth Services.

The problem isnt somuch what we think of as

binge drinking, Martinez-cKay said. Its more a

matter of people consumingmore alcohol than theyreaccustomed to in a concen-

trated time period.The risks of this spike

in excessive drinking areobvious: Increases in traf-

fic accidents, domestic vio-lence and sexual assaults,

as well as adverse healtheffects ranging from simplehangovers to hospital ad-

missions for alcohol toxicityreactions.

If you expect to be pres-ent at parties or other set-tings where alcohol will be

served, health experts urgean advance planning ap-

proach based on limiting

consumption and protectingyour safety and that of oth-ers if you do over-indulge.

Keeping holiday drinkingunder control is largely a

matter of being aware thatseasonal parties make iteasy for a two-drink-per-

night person to over-imbibewithout really trying.

One key, McKay said, is tolimit the number of holiday

parties you attend. This ap-proach has the dual benefitof reducing the total num-

ber of drinks consumed andlowering the risk of driving

while intoxicated. Even ifyou have only one or two

just to be polite drinks perparty, the cumulative ef-fect can be similar to binge

drinking at one party. Another smart approach

to managing your alcoholintake is to drink water and

other non-alcoholic bever-ages especially if you al-ready have consumed two

or more alcoholic drinks.Smart holiday hosts in-

creasingly are offeringguests refreshing alco-

hol-free drinks, includingnon-alcoholic wines, cham-

pagnes and beers. This notonly makes life easier forthose who are trying to

moderate their intake butalso reduces potential so-

cial awkwardness for non-drinkers.

Hosts also should be

aware that pushing drinkson guests is not only unwise

but inconsiderate to guests

who are trying to take asmarter approach to get-ting in the holiday spirit.

How Fast and How

Much both matter

If youre blessed with ex-ceptional will power, a sim-pler option exists: decide

upon an absolute limit inadvance and cut yourself

off when you reach it. Rec-ognize, too, that your rate

of consumption matters just as much as the totalamount you drink. Blood

alcohol concentration isthe key factor in intoxica-

tion level, so downing threedrinks in 20 minutes will

have far greater impactthan if you consume themat one-hour intervals.

How do you know whatyour blood alcohol level is?

Hand-held breath analy-sis devices are available at

many pharmacies, but theyarent always practical tocarry and tend to be less

accurate than those usedby law officers.

An easier approach isto be aware of the rate at

which alcohol is metabo-lized. In general alcohol is

burned off at the averagerate of about one standarddrink (for example, one

flute of champagne) perhour. Be aware, though,

that total body alcohol con-centration rises faster fora person with a small body

mass than for a larger indi-vidual.

Other key factors in how

quickly alcohol builds upin your blood include fatcontent and gender. Leaner

folks feel intoxicated morequickly because fat slows

alcohol absorption, andwomen metabolize alcoholdifferently than men, re-

sulting in partially metabo-lized alcohol staying longer

in the bloodstream.The result: a man may

take five drinks to reach ablood alcohol concentrationof .08 while a small woman

may reach that same lev-el with only two or three

drinks.Its smart, then, to limit

total consumption, drinkslowly, adjust consumptionto your body type, and con-

sume food as well as drinkto further slow alcohol ab-

sorption.Finally, if you do feel

youve celebrated a bit toovigorously, be safe and con-siderate by taking a cab

home, asking another per-son to drive or even spend-

ing the night in a hotel ifthis is an option.

Regardless of how wellyouve been able to stick to

your party-smart strategy,its never too late to makedecisions youll be pleased

with the morning after.

THE COUNSELING CORNERBY THE AMERICAN

COUNSELING

ASSOCIATION

While the holiday season

is usually one of joy, hap-piness and celebration, for

many people the emotion ofthe season is often depres-

sion. Fortunately, it doesnthave to be that way. Many

of the things that leave usfeeling depressed are thingswe can control.

For example, the constantstream of media and adver-

tising holiday images con-tributes to depression formany people. Comparing

our own lives to these un-realistic images of holiday

perfection, its easy to feelleft out, inadequate or as if

we arent getting all thatsdue us.

While theres no avoiding

the holiday media/advertis-ing blitz, its easy to accept

that what were being shownisnt reality, but rather the

make-believe that comeswith actors, make up artists

and high dollar productions.We dont have to competewith that.

Eating healthier and get-ting enough rest is another

way to fight holiday blues.Holiday foods usually meantoo many rich, high-calorie

party temptations, treatsloaded with sugar and op-

portunities to drink toomuch. Toss in a busy holi-

day schedule and its easyto feel tired, unhealthy,overweight and generally

depressed.So should you just avoid

all those holiday foods? Ac-tually, no, since that can

leave you feeling deprivedand more likely to finally

over-indulge. Instead, usecommon sense and mod-eration. Limit alcohol con-

sumption and enjoy your fa- vorite holiday foods, but in

reasonable-sized portionsand without going back forseconds.

And dont forget exercise.Its often ignored in busy

holiday schedules, yet stud-ies show that even small or

moderate amounts of ex-ercise can lift your spirits.Its also a great way to burn

those extra calories of theseason.

Lastly, dont let depres-sion rule your life. Holiday

socializing is a great wayto combat the blues. Make

the effort to go and meetpeople at a party, or just callup a friend to go for coffee

and talk about interestingthings. Spending time with

others and refocusing yourthinking on positive thingsyou enjoy is your goal.

Eating right, exercising,taking a realistic view of

the holiday madness andhaving an active social life

all take effort, but theyreall essential to helping youenjoy the holiday season.

Even small efforts in theseareas can help you feel bet-

ter physically and mentally.But if you find nothing

seems to help fight thatholiday depression, talk to

a counseling professional.Theyre trained to help you

work through and cope withthese feelings.

Dear Savvy Senior,Over the past few years,

y mother, who is 75, has

otten where she dreads the

holiday season and becomes

very melancholy. What can I

do to help?

Hating the Holidays

Dear Hating,

Millions of people experi-ence the holiday blues thistime of year, but seniors

tend to be especially vulner-able. Here are some sugges-

tions that can help.Holiday blues

There are lots of factorsthat can contribute to an

older persons sadness orapathy around the holi-day season such as the loss

of a spouse, sibling or aclose friend. Some seniors

feel alone and isolated be-cause their grown childrenand grandchildren live far

away. While others mayfeel blue because of finan-

ial concerns, poor health

or because theyre unable toperform routine holiday ac-

tivities like shopping, bak-ing or even attending reli-

gious services.How to help

Depending on whats

making your mother blueduring this holiday season,

here are some tips that mayhelp: Be a good listener: Talk

to your mom about howshes feeling and why. Very

often just being able toshare feelings with some-

one can help. Prevent isolation: En-

courage family membersto be around your mom as

much as possible duringthe holidays. If you cant bethere physically, be sure to

call more often. Find community help:

Contact her church or othercommunity resource wheresomeone may be able to stop

by for a visit, or pick her upfor a religious service or

community activity.

Ease her financial guilt:If your mom is on a tight

budget, be sure she doesntfeel guilty if she cant afford

to buy the grandchildrenfancy gifts. Its not what theholidays should be about.

Lend a helping hand:If poor health or physical

limitations are causing herblues, lend her a hand with

shopping, decorating andother holiday preparations. Suggest volunteering:

Many churches or civicgroups would love her help

(also see Web sites likewww.volunteermatch.org

and www.getinvolved.govto find volunteer opportu-

nities). Helping others isa great way to forget yourown troubles. Watch the holiday spir-

its: Alcohol consumption for

many people goes up duringthe holiday season, and al-cohol is a depressant that

can intensify the problem. Go for a walk: Exercise

is a natural antidepressant

so encourage your mom togo for a daily walk, or if pos-

sible, take one with her.Watch for depression

Theres a big differencebetween feeling sad or blueand being chronically de-

pressed. If your moms blueslinger beyond the holidays

into the New Year, she mayhave a more serious prob-

lem. Here are the signs towatch for: A persistent feeling of

sadness. Lost interest in hobbies

or activities that she for-merly enjoyed. Feeling worthless or

hopeless.

Inability to sleep orsleeping too much. Loss of energy or moti-

vation. Not eating or eating too

much. Trouble thinking, con-

centrating and making de-

cisions. Feeling anxious, rest-

According to a recent study, incontinence is a widespread

disorder that may affect one in every four women. Moreover, the study

says that perhaps as many as one in three older women may be affected in

their lifetimes. Urinary incontinence is by far the most common problem.

Childbirth, which can weaken pelvic floor muscles, is the most frequent

cause. This study emphasizes the need to identify causes of pelvic floor

disorders as well as the means to prevent and treat them. Treatments for

urinary stress incontinence range from exercises to surgical options; urge

incontinence (overactive bladder) can be treated with lifestyle changes and

a variety of medications. Women should feel comfortable bringing any

problems to their doctors attention.

Many people with urinary problems try to manage on their own,

often because its a source of embarrassment. At our office, we understand

the unique needs of every one of our patients. Our compassionate staff will

listen to your concerns and ensure that you fully understand your treatment

options. When you require OB/GYN care, call WISE OBSTETRICS &

GYNECOLOGY P.A at 940-626-8008. The office is conveniently located

at 1713 South Fm 51, Ste. 201, Decatur. New patients are welcome.

In the study mentioned above, one of the most effective ways of staving off

incontinence is to maintain a healthy weight. Obesity is a major risk factor.

Hunting season has beenunder way for more than

three months now, andchances are a good many

of you have a freezer wellstocked with everythingfrom dove breasts to venison

steaks.Game meat is far more

nutritious than domesticbut it does require differentcooking techniques. Take

venison, for example. Veni-son is very lean and what fat

there is in the meat shouldbe removed; its the fat that

sometimes contributes tothe gamey taste that somefolks complain about.

I am often asked questionssuch as are wild hogs good

to eat or doesnt venisonhave that gamey taste?

ve found it impossible toanswer these questionswith a blanket statement. I

often reply with somethinglike this: If you were going

to a hog farm to purchaseyour pork chops, would you

choose the oldest boar? Like-wise, you wouldnt choose anolder bull for your T-Bone

steaks! Younger game ani-mals in good condition ob-

viously make better tablefare than older ones. This is

not to say that venison fromolder bucks, if prepared

properly, is not good eating.always use the center ham

cuts, tenderloins and back-

straps for steaks and grindthe rest for sausage or, add

beef fat to it and make veni-son burgers.

Because of its dry na-

ture, larger cuts of venisonmust always be cooked with

moisture. Ive slow-cooked

many venison hams with theend result a flavorful, tasty

piece of meat. Slow-cookingat a low temperature is the

key to preparing roasts fromgame animals. I usually sea-

son the roast well with myfavorite dry seasonings anda couple of bay leaves, and

using a sharp knife, makeincisions into the roast and

insert pieces of bacon, sliv-ers of garlic and onion or ja-lapeno pepper. Then, covered

with slices of fatty baconand a little butter on top, I

place the roast in a coveredcast iron kettle and bake

slowly for about 10 hours at200 degrees. The meat fallsoff the bone and is well re-

ceived at the dinner tablewhen served with carrots,

potatoes and onions (which Iadd to the roast a couple of

hours before serving).Making barbecue from

these larger cuts is anoth-

er great way to please thecrowd at hunting camp or

home. I do a lot of my cook-ing on a Smokin Tex (www.

smokintex.com) electricsmoker, and Ive found itto be a very easy, carefree

method of tenderizing larg-er, tougher cuts of meat. I

simply place the roast in adouble layer of heavy duty

foil, add barbecue sauceand allow to smoke, uncov-

ered a couple of hours, usinghickory, plum, peach or pe-can wood. Then, wrapped in

the foil, the roast is allowedto smoke at 200 degrees for

up to 12 hours or so, or over-night. This method makessome of the best tasting,

most tender barbecue imag-inable. I often smoke cuts

of wild hog, which have fla-

vorful fat, with venison andblend the two for chopped

barbecue.Chicken fried venison

steak is better tasting thanthe best beef round steak,

to my way of thinking. I usea tenderizing mallet andpound the steaks, adding dry

seasonings during the pro-cess. Then, I cover the steaks

with milk and refrigerateseveral hours before frying.Dipped in an egg batter and

dusted with flour, the steaksneed only three or four min-

utes on each side in hot oil.Drain the steaks, chop and

saut an onion in a little ofthe remaining oil and poura big can of mushroom soup

(with a little water) and youhave smothered steak! Put

a lid on the cast iron skil-let and bake or cook on the

stove top over low heat foran hour or so to tenderize;serve with hot rice and hot

dinner rolls.Preparing and cooking wa-

terfowl requires a bit differ-ent technique, but if all the

duck dinners you have beenserved in the past tastedlike liver, chances are pretty

good the cook didnt have aclue of how to prepare and

cook ducks and geese. LanellHolland, my wifes cousin, is

married to the legendary wa-terfowl guide Jack Holland.

Years ago, she instructed mein the proper way to prepareduck and goose breasts. Its

the blood in the meat of wa-terfowl that can give it the

strong, liver flavor. Removethe breast halves and but-terfly them. Then place in

cold water and, using yourhands, squeeze the meat.

This greatly aids in remov-

ing the blood in the meat,she instructed. John Bryan,

another friend that guidesfor ducks on the Brazos

River, takes the process astep farther and uses a ten-

derizer mallet to tenderizethe breast halves, then heplaces them in a pan of cold

water. Waterfowl breasts,prepared thus, are excel-

lent when wrapped in fattybacon and grilled or, believeit or not, chicken fried just

like venison steaks. Servedwith hot biscuits and cream

gravy, Bryan proved to meits tough to distinguish the

flavor of duck breasts fromchicken fried venison!

Quail and dove can be

prepared and fried just likechicken. My friend and fel-

low outdoors writer BobHood came upon a method

for preparing quail that isthe best Ive found. He plac-es a couple of rows of Ritz

crackers in a plastic bagand crushes them into a fine

meal. Next, in a Dutch Ovenhe melts a stick of butter,

then coats the quail pieces(or chicken wings) in but-ter, then covers them with

the Ritz meal. Cooked forabout 1 hour, the quail are a

golden brown. The Ritz mealbatter is crunchy and adds

a great deal of flavor to thegame birds.

If youre new to cookinggame and game birds, hope-fully these tips will serve as a

good place for you to expandyour culinary skills. Mak-

ing great tasting meals fromgame animals and birds isreally no great feat, but it

does require a bit of commonsense and adherence to a few

basic rules. In no time, I ex-

Outdoor tip of the

week

Now is prime time for driftfishing for blue catfish, and

chances are very good youlive close to a lake or riverthat provides good winter-

time fishing. The biggestblues are landed each year

during the dead of winter.Savvy drift fishermen em-

ploy a drift rig developed at

Santee Cooper Reservoir. Totie this rig, begin with a ba-

sic Carolina rig with a 4-footleader. The big difference

between the Santee Rig andthe Carolina Rig is a smallfloater positioned about 6-

inches up from the hook/bait. This float keeps the

bait up off bottom during thedrift, making it much easier

for the catfish to grab as itdrifts by. It also greatly re-

duces hang-ups. Fresh shadis a favored bait of drift fish-ermen, but fillets from rough

fish such as carp or buffalo-fish also make good baits for

big blues. If wind speed ismuch above 12 knots, use adrift sock or a couple of plas-

tic 5-gallon buckets on thewindward side of your boa

to slow your drift.
