Sports Performance Danny and Julie Russell

By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: There are sev-
eral unusual plants that I
have seen written up in the
newspaper and in maga-
zines. How can I find sourc-
es for them?
Ask at better nurseries,
specifically, independent
retail garden centers that
seem to feature those cat-
egories of plants. Many
times, they may be able to
order them for you, partic-
ularly if it’s a tree or shrub.
If it’s an unusual perennial
such as a rare cactus, day-
lily, daffodil, iris or mum,
there will be a chapter of
that plant’s national so-
ciety in most large Texas
cities. Their members of-
ten collect them and offer
them for sale during so-
ciety fundraisers. Finally,
Web searches usually pull
up matches. Use the plant’s
scientific name for the best
and quickest matches.
Dear Neil: Will a weed-
killer damage a bougainvil-
lea? A lawn service we use
sprayed our grass very re-
cently, and I’m afraid some
of the weedkiller (we do not
know what type) might have
drifted onto the vine.
By the time this goes
to press several days af-
GARDENER’S MAILBAG
ter you sent in your ques-
tion, you probably already
have a pretty good idea.
Any damage it might do
should show up within a
few days. If it was a glanc-
ing blow, odds are good that
the boungainvillea will re-
bound.
Dear Neil: This may not
have anything to do with
it, but three years ago, we
started overseeding our
lawn with ryegrass, and
since then, our St. Augus-
tine hasn’t been the same.
The attached photo shows it
as it looks now. What might
be causing the problem?
Overseeding seldom
causes any problems, since
the rye dies away when
temperatures head into the
90s. St. Augustine and ber-
mudagrass both start grow-
ing about that same time,
so they grow to fill in the
voids. The one exception
to that, which does seem
to come into effect in your
lawn, is when there is a
good bit of shade involved,
and when it’s St. Augustine
that is being overseeded.
In that specific case, the
rye sometimes doesn’t die
away quite quickly enough,
and the St. Augustine is set
back accordingly. It must
have four or more hours of
direct sunshine daily if it’s
just going to hold its own,
six to eight hours if you ex-
pect it to grow and cover.
Your photo shows shade,
at least at the time the pic-
ture was taken. Those fac-
tors seem to add up to de-
clining turf.
Dear Neil: I bought a
25-foot sapling bur oak and
had it planted on Jan. 22. It
was guaranteed until July
22. Now, half the leaves are
brown and half are green.
I water it for an hour every
five days. I took leaves back
to the nursery, and they ex-
tended the warranty. It is
not improving. Thoughts?
You didn’t say whether
the tree was grown and
sold in a container, or if it
was dug and balled-and-
burlapped. My guess, for a
tree that’s that tall and that
you describe as a “sapling,”
is that it was dug out of a
nursery or from a hillside
in nature. When trees are
dug, many roots are lost in
the process. It’s good that
they extended your war-
ranty. You may need it. If
you have to replace it, look
for a nice 10- or 20-gallon,
container-grown bur oak.
They establish and start
growing so much more rap-
idly than dug trees.
Dear Neil: Is there any
way to keep cedar elm root
saplings from coming up in
the cracks in my pavers? I
am redoing the pavers, and
I have cut the roots back a
foot below the surface.
It should be fairly sim-
ple. Dig a trench along the
edge of the paved area and
install a root barrier such
as heavy vinyl pond liner
to keep the roots from the
mother tree from spreading
beneath the paved section.
Dear Neil: I am very dis-
appointed in my Knockout
roses. I planted them four
years ago. For two years,

common pests with Knock-
outs. It won’t make you feel
any better to hear this, but
the reason Knockouts are
so widely planted and so
highly regarded is the fact
that they’re virtually pest-
free. At least, that’s usually
the case. Be sure all other
elements in their culture
are perfect (full sun, loose

By JIM MILLER
Dear Savvy Senior,
I know that the size of a
person’s Social Security re-
tirement benefit is based on
how much they earn over
their lifetime. But beyond
earning a higher paycheck,
which isn’t likely for me, is
there anything I can do to
boost my future Social Secu-
rity benefits?
Approaching
Retirement
Dear Approaching,
Most people think that
there isn’t much they can do
about the size of their future
Social Security retirement
SAVVY SENIOR
that if you’re strapped for
cash or in poor health and
don’t expect to live much past
your mid-70s, you’re better
off collecting early benefits.
See www.ssa.gov/estimator
to calculate your benefits at
different retirement ages.
Strategies for couples
In addition to delaying
benefits, there are two strat-
egies that can help married
couples too. The first one is
the “file-and-suspend” strat-
egy. Here’s an example of
how it works: Let’s say that
you are age 66, but want to
keep working until 70 to col-
lect a higher benefit. Let’s
also say your wife is a non-
66. You’re still working and
you’d like to delay collecting
benefits based on your own
earnings record until you’re
70. Your wife can collect full
benefits based on her work
record – and you can collect
a spousal benefit which is
half of what she gets. Then,
once you reach 70, you stop
receiving the spousal benefit
and switch to your own ben-
efit, which will be 32 percent
higher than the benefit you
would have collected at your
full retirement age.
Borrow and
invest strategy
This is an option for
wealthier retirees with other
ssa.gov/retire2/withdrawal.
htm.
Family boosters
Having children under
age 19 who are still in high
school can also boost your
benefits. Each dependent
child is entitled to benefits
worth up to half of what
you’re collecting. And if any
child is younger than 16,
your spouse can also qualify
for additional benefits as a
caregiver.
To learn more about these
options visit www.socialse-
curity.gov or call 800-772-
1213.

checks. But that’s not true.
There are actually several
strategies that can boost
your benefits. Here’s what
you should know.
Waiting pays
The most common strat-
egy people use to increase
their benefits is to delay
taking them. While work-
ers can start collecting their
Social Security retirement
benefits as early as age 62,
postponing them to full re-
tirement age (which is 66
if you were born between
1943 and 1954), or better
yet to age 70, can make a
big difference. Let’s say, for
example, that you’re eligible
for $1,000 monthly benefit
at age 62. By waiting to 66
your monthly benefit would
increase to $1,333. And by
waiting to age 70, you would
boost your benefit a whop-
ping 76 percent to $1,760.
Waiting beyond age 70 will
not increase your benefits.
I do, however, want to add
working spouse who just
turned 62 and would like to
start receiving spousal bene-
fits on your work record. The
problem is she can’t get them
until you sign up. So you file
for your Social Security ben-
efits but request an immedi-
ate suspension which allows
your wife to claim spousal
benefits, without locking you
into a lower payment for life.
Then when you do decide to
start collecting, at age 70,
you end the suspension and
receive a higher benefit for
delaying. It will also increase
your wife’s survivor benefit.
Another benefits-boost-
ing option few people know
about is the “claim now,
claim more later” strategy.
This option lets you draw
on your spouses Social Se-
curity benefits (once you
reach full retirement age),
while delaying the start of
your own benefits. Here’s
how it works: Let’s say that
you and your wife are both

WISE NOTES FOR CONSUMERS

By TANYA DAVIS
Wise Co. Extension Agent
Whether purchasing or picking zuc-
chini, choose firm, slender zucchini with
a bright green color and free of wrinkled
skin and soft spots. For best quality, har-
vest zucchini when it is young and ten-
der, about 6 to 8 inches long and about
2 inches in diameter. As zucchini gets
longer and bigger around, it becomes
tougher and develops more seeds. These
larger zucchini can be used in zucchini
bread; scoop out seeds and pulp with the
tip of a spoon.
Store unwashed zucchini in perforated
plastic bags in the crisper drawer of the
refrigerator; wash zucchini just before
preparation. You can either purchase
perforated plastic bags or make small
holes with a sharp object in unperforated
plastic bags (about 20 holes per medium-
size bag.) For best quality, use zucchini
within about three to four days.
Wash zucchini just before prepara-
tion. Zucchini makes a quick addition
to meals as it doesn’t have to be peeled.
Before you give your zucchini away, here
are some suggestions:
! Slice, marinate (try bal-
samic vinegar) and grill a va-
riety of vegetables including
zucchini, asparagus, green on-
ions, eggplant and mushrooms.
They’re delicious.
! Cut up veggies like car-
rots, zucchini and potatoes. Add
them to your favorite meatloaf
or soup recipes.
! Take your favorite lasagna
recipe and try adding different
combinations of your favorite
vegetables between the layers: mush-
rooms, spinach, broccoli, carrots, zucchi-
ni, onions or eggplant.
! Add raw zucchini to lettuce and pas-
ta salads.
! Cut zucchini into sticks and serve
with a dip.
! Slice zucchini, sauté in oil over medi-
um heat for about 5 minutes until tender
crisp; toss into heated pasta sauce for a
veggie-packed pasta topping.

By LUKE CLAYTON
With the signing of HB
968 by Gov. Rick Perry, Texas
passed a new law allowing
crossbows to be used during
archery season in 254 Texas
counties. Grayson County
is the exception, where only
conventional archery equip-
ment (longbows, recurves
and compounds) will be al-
lowed. Previously, hunters
could only hunt with long-
bows, recurves or compound
bows during their special
season, which opens before
the general firearms white-
tail season; crossbows were
legal but only during the
firearms season.
I’m amazed at the contro-
versy that’s occurred over
the passing of this new law.
Being a long time bowhunter
and on the pro staff of the
largest bow manufacturer
in the county, I have a pretty
good feel for the pulse of the
bowhunter. Until this au-
tumn, we had the woods all to
ourselves for a month before
we were joined by rifle hunt-
ers. This tradition in Texas is
shared by hunters from all
the other states with the ex-
ception of Pennsylvania and
Michigan, where crossbows
are legal during archery sea-
son.
There is a couple of ways
to look at this new law. Tra-
ditional bowhunters that
oppose the use of crossbows
during “their” special ar-
chery season often state
that the crossbow is much
too powerful and accurate to
be allowed during the spe-
cial season. Some state they
shoot like a rifle and should
be allowed only during rifle
season. Other hunters that
understand the crossbow’s
advantages and inherent
limitations have a different
take. They feel that other
than opening the woods up
to more hunters, many of
them will probably be first
year novice bowhunters, the
crossbow shooters will have
little or no “edge” simply
because they are shooting a
weapon that remains cocked,
ready to shoot all the time
and doesn’t need to be “load-
ed” or pulled by the hunter
before the shot.
About three years ago, an
outdoor manufacturer that
was beginning a new line of
crossbows approached me to
help them develop what was
to become the best crossbow
on the market. Due to a con-
tractual agreement with the
bow manufacturer I repre-
sent, I had to decline the of-
fer, but I did get one of my
best friends, a well known

outdoors writer and one of
the best hunters I know, to
begin shooting and testing
the new line of crossbows.
My buddy soon learned that
the use of the crossbow was
no “magic bullet, or arrow.”
I hunted with him a great
deal and learned that with
the exception of the fact
that the crossbow remains
“cocked,” there was little
difference in its effective-
ness on harvesting game.
Granted, a properly sighted
in crossbow is extremely ac-
curate out to about 40 yards,
past that the trajectory of
the heavy “bolt” falls quickly.
To my way of thinking, 40
yards should be the limit for
harvesting game with any
archery tackle, any farther
than that and the chance
of wounding increases with
each added yard. Shooting
accurately out to 50 and 60
yards can be learned by any
compound bow shooter, I can
consistently keep arrows in
a six inch circle at 50 yards
but I would never consider
shooting game at that range.
There are just too many vari-
ables involved that have the
potential for a bad shot.
One reason for the ac-
curacy is the heavy stock of
the crossbow (similar to a
rifle stock), gives stability
to the shot. When shooting
a compound, the archer has
to learn to steady the bow
before squeezing the release
for the shot. When compar-
ing the use of crossbows and
compounds in a real hunting
situation, both have their
limitations. The crossbow is
extremely loud when fired,
giving the deer the opportu-
nity to ‘jump the string’. Ob-
viously, the motion required
to draw a compound has
the potential to spook game
“Whatever your vehicle need,
I’m here to serve you at our
Pre-owned Lot on the south
side of US 287.”
940.627.2177
(This I’ve learned from many
past experiences.)
In Texas, where 97 percent
of the hunting land is pri-
vately owned, I think the use
of the crossbow will make
little impact. Lease hunt-
ers will either decide for or
against the use of crossbows
on their leases, likewise with
property owners that hunt
their own lands. On the
State WMA’s and national
forests, we’ll probably see
more hunters in the woods
this fall, many of them pack-
ing crossbows but, once
hunters become exposed to
the fact that a skilled com-
pound shooter has an equal,
or possibly better chance at
arrowing his buck than a
crossbow hunters, this con-
troversy should dissipate.
I’m betting that in a couple
years, the use of crossbows
vs. compounds will become
a moot point. Besides, in
an era when so many anti
hunting groups are actively
attempting to put an end to
all hunting, it’s my conten-
tion that we had better all
get along and present a good
image to the general public.
Our hunting privileges de-
pend upon it.
Outdoor tip
of the week
The opener of dove sea-
son is only a couple months
away. Now is a great time
to break out the shotgun
and shoot a few clay targets
at your nearest skeet, trap
or sporting clays range. Or,
spend about $5 for a hand
thrower and $7 for a case of
clay targets and plan a little
impromptu shoot at the deer
lease or any place where it’s
safe and legal to shoot. Give
some thought to purchasing
a spinning-wing dove decoy
during the summer months.
You might catch them on
sale. I’ve found a great bat-
tery powered “action” dove
