HIGH ALTITUDE — Decatur freshman Nick Crohan competes in pole vault at Saturday’s District 8-3A meet in Sanger. He missed the mark on this attempt but his
team did well going into the finals Monday night in Sanger. Look in this week’s Messenger for results of the varsity action and to see who is headed to regionals in

BY NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: I would like to
build a flower bed around
the trunk of a fruitless mul-
berry. The grass has died
away as the tree’s roots got
bigger and bigger. I would
like to have the color there,
plus I’d like to conceal the
roots. Will it harm the trunk
if I put 10 or 12 inches of soil
around it?
This is a common idea, but
it’s not necessarily a good
one. If it’s too dark for grass,
then it’s too dark for almost
any type of flower. Plus,
adding soil over the roots of
a tree or up and around its
trunk are not good practices.
Soil compacts over time, and
if you cover a significant por-
tion (30 percent or more) of
a tree’s root system, you run
a real risk of root loss. Add-
ing wet soil around the wood
of the trunk can’t be good,
either. Your best bet in this
specific situation would be
to plant a groundcover be-
neath the tree. Choose one
that can tolerate both sun
and shade. Mulberries live
20 to 30 years, and you don’t
want to go to a ton of trouble,

THE COUNSELING CORNER On-Duty

Retirement’s impact on a marriage
By THE AMERICAN COUNSELING
ASSOCIATION
Most couples look forward to the
time and opportunities retirement
can bring. And they should. It allows
couples quality time together and a
chance to do things that you’ve both
looked forward to.
But sometimes retirement can also
add stress to a marriage. It’s important
to realize retirement means more than
just not working. It always brings very
significant changes in one’s life.
One change is the loss of identity
that often accompanies leaving a job.
Most of us, whether male or female,
define ourselves with that job title that
we use in response to the “what do you
do” question. But when no longer being
that “vice president” or “department
manager,” it’s common to experience a
sense of diminished self-worth because
you are no longer “doing” something of
value.
Depression can result, especially for
someone who has been dedicated to
a job and developed few interests or
friends outside the workplace. Such
depression, and the health problems it
may bring, can certainly add stress to
a marriage.
Money can also be a source of mari-
tal stress after retirement. Retirement
incomes seldom match pre-retirement
pay checks, yet expenses may be even
higher. Medical bills might increase, or
travel and other retirement activities
may cost more than planned for.
Even the extra time together that
retirement brings can sometimes be
a source of stress. For many wives,
retirement can mean “twice as much
husband and half as much money.” A
newly-retired spouse may interrupt
the established daily routine of his or
her spouse, expecting to be the center
of attention now that work no longer
calls. Or that extra time together may
bring forward problems that were ig-
nored when the demands of a job kept
a couple apart for significant parts of
the day.
Does retirement always bring stress

Prediabetes: What you should know
Dear Savvy Senior
My husband (who’s 60)
was recently diagnosed with
type 2 diabetes and was
shocked when the doctor told
him that he’s probably had
it or prediabetes for many
years. My question is what
determines prediabetes and
how can you know if you
have it?
Non-diabetic Donna
Dear Donna,
Underlying today’s grow-
ing epidemic of type 2 dia-
betes is a much larger epi-
demic called prediabetes
- which is when the blood
sugar levels are higher than
normal but not high enough
to be called diabetes. Here’s
high enough to be labeled
diabetes, high blood sugar
can significantly harm your
body causing high blood
pressure and damage to
your heart, blood vessels,
kidneys and eyes.
Do you have it?
Prediabetes is like the
warning light in your car
that comes on when you’re
about to run out of gas, let-
ting you know there’s a prob-
lem looming, but you still
have time to do something
about it. But, prediabetes
can be tricky too because it
usually causes no outward
symptoms, so most people
that have it don’t realize it.
The only way to know for
sure is to get a simple blood

you are the greater your
risk. Also, having excess fat

■ Have high blood pres-

■ Have low HDL (good)

weight coupled with mod-
erate exercise can reduce
your risk of developing full-

60 percent.
■ Exercising: Regular ex-
ercise (about 30 minutes at
least five days per week)
helps control your weight
and blood glucose level. Talk
to your doctor about what
types of exercise might be
appropriate for you.

what you should know.
Pre-Diabetes
Almost everyone who has
type 2 diabetes has passed
through prediabetes first.
According to the Ameri-
can Diabetes Association
there are around 54 million
people in the United States
who have prediabetes. If left
untreated, it almost always
turns into diabetes within
10 years. And even if it’s not
test done by your doctor. (Tip:
Check your personal risk at
www.yourdiseaserisk.com
- click on “diabetes”). Here
are the factors that increase
your risk of prediabetes and
diabetes. If you fall into one
or more of these categories
you need to get tested:
■ Over age 45. Prediabe-
tes risk increases with age.
■ Are overweight with a
body mass index (BMI) of 25
Good News
Being diagnosed with pre-
diabetes doesn’t mean that
you’re destined for type 2
diabetes. Prediabetes can
actually be reversed - and
diabetes prevented - by

consistent lifestyle changes
that include:
■ Losing weight: If you’re

PET TALK
Grooming for Fluffy and Fido improves their
appearance, but it could make them sick from
an unlikely source. In the process of grooming,
your pet may ingest or swallow fleas carrying
the tapeworm larvae. And tapeworms, by any
measuring stick, are not pleasant.
“Tapeworms are not life-threatening, but
they can be disgusting,” said Dr. Thomas
Craig, professor of parasitology in Texas A&M
University’s College of Veterinary Medicine &
Biomedical Sciences.
Cats and dogs can be the primary hosts,
while adult fleas are the secondary hosts.
Craig says the segmented adult tapeworm
lives in the small intestine of the host. When
the segments are passed in the animal’s feces,
the tapeworm eggs are released.
A larval flea eats the tapeworm egg and then
the flea larva progress through the pupa stage
in a cocoon. The flea develops into an adult flea
that is eaten by a cat or dog, Craig adds.
“Movement and vibrations trigger the hatch-
ing of the pupa into an adult flea. When the
adult flea jumps on your pet to take a blood
meal, the pet may eat the flea, carrying the
tapeworm larvae and thus become the host for
the larval stage to complete its development
into an adult tapeworm,” said Dr. Craig.
Tapeworms attach, with hooks or suckers, to
the intestinal lining of the host. Since they do
not have a digestive tract, tapeworms absorb
nutrients directly through their integument

TEXAS HEALTH MATTERS

Have you given your child a hug
today? Not the type with your arms,
but a hug from a safety belt. All pas-
sengers, regardless of age, should use
a safety belt while riding in a vehicle.
The Texas Department of State Health
Services (DSHS) is helping parents
make the best choice for keeping their
kids safe.
Child safety seats provide protection
for small occupants whose bodies are
fort and fit.
A car’s safety belts, which are de-
signed to fit adults, won’t fully restrain
a child in a crash. Using a booster seat
will better protect your child from be-
ing thrown from the vehicle, or thrown
around inside it, during a crash.
Luera also points out that airbags
pose a risk of death or serious injury
for children.
“Even in newer vehicles that have
safety belt consistently and properly. It • Music by Carl Vaughan
is important to make sure your child is
as safe as possible in your car.

still growing. Restraints are available airbags with suppression systems, lies 2008, www.aap.org/family/carseat-
for children of different ages and sizes. which is a new technology that allows guide.htm

Even with the right child restraint, the
way it is installed and used can have
an effect on its performance.
When children outgrow child safe-
ty seats, usually at about 40 pounds,
many people assume the child is ready
for the vehicle’s regular safety belt. Not
so, say the experts at DSHS. A car’s
safety belts are designed for adults
and do not fit children properly.
“If a child has outgrown a safety seat
but is less than 4 feet 9 inches tall, they
will need a booster seat,” said Frank
Luera, training director of DSHS Safe
Riders Traffic Safety program. “It lifts
the child so that the seat belt fits cor-
rectly.”
With a booster seat:
■ The lap belt will be placed low on
the child’s hips, rather than on the
child’s belly.
■ The shoulder belt will cross the
center of the child’s chest.
■ The child’s knees will bend at the
edge of the booster seat for better com-
airbags to adjust deployment based on
the occupant, children 12 and under
should ride in the back seat,” he said.
Vehicles with airbags display warn-
ing messages regarding this on the
sun visors and in the vehicle owner’s
manual.
The Texas Department of State
Health Services, working with a variety
of local community groups, coordinates
a statewide child safety seat distribu-
tion and education campaign. This
program provides child safety seats to
low-income families and promotes cor-
rect use of safety seats. Low-income
families can receive a free child safety
seat by attending a one- hour class to
learn how to use the seat correctly.
Traffic crashes injure or kill hun-
dreds of young children every year
– many of whom are unbuckled or im-
properly restrained while riding in ve-
hicles.
You can keep your child safe by using
an approved car seat, booster seat or

President
Greater Denton/Wise County
Assoc. of Realtors
Who’s on first? You are
The last thing you want dur-
ing a real estate transaction is
a replay of the famous Abbott
and Costello Who’s on First?
routine. Not only is it helpful
to understand all the players’
roles during the process, but
this knowledge can help you
determine what information to
share with which parties. Here
are the basics.
Customer or client?
If you are working with a
real estate agent to buy prop-
erty, you are that agent’s cli-
ent, right? Not necessarily. You
might be a client or you could be
a customer. While these terms
sound similar, don’t think they
are interchangeable. They con-
note different responsibilities
on behalf of the agent.
You are a client only when
you hire an agent to represent
you. Buyers often sign a writ-
ten agreement when hiring
a buyer’s agent. Your buyer’s
agent can help you search for
properties, give you informa-
tion about financing, assist you
in preparing offers, and other
related matters.
However, an agent can also
help you with these matters
even if you don’t hire that per-
son to represent you. In this
case, you are a customer rath-
er than a client. For example,
you might work with the sell-
ing agent (also called a listing
agent) of a home. Typically, the
listing agent will provide you
information and assist you
without offering opinions and
advice.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008 WISE COUNTY MESSENGER

NORTHWEST

Texan Baseball
The Northwest High School baseball team had its hands full Friday
night when Keller made a visit to Texan Field. The Texans jumped out
to a 2-0 lead but could not contain the Indian offense in a 9-2 District
5-5A loss. Left, pitcher Cody Cunningham brings the heat in the first
inning of the contest. Below, a Northwest slugger makes contact
early in the action to give the locals an early lead.
