Facing big problems?
Get the family involved
By THE AMERICAN
COUNSELING
ASSOCIATION
When a person faces a
problem, it’s not unusual
to think the burden of that
problem is that person’s
alone. But the reality is that
few of us operate in isola-
tion. When we face a serious
problem it generally ends
up affecting those closest to
us as well - our families.
As importantly, involving
family members can often be
an enormous help in dealing
with a problem. Involved
family members can provide
support and understanding,
and often can play a key role
in helping find and treat the
causes of a problem.
Family involvement is so
important that there is now
a field within the counseling
profession that specializes
in family counseling. First
developed in the 1950s, fam-
ily counseling professionals
focus on the family as the

client, rather than just see-
ing one person as the one
with the problem.
While family counseling is
not right for every situation,
there are signs that can in-
dicate family counseling
might be a good approach
for problems you may be
facing.
One such sign is if you
believe that you would feel
better if others in the fam-
ily knew of the dilemma you
were facing. Family counsel-
ing helps make that hap-
pen.
Similarly, if you find that
family relationships are not
going well, or that a family
member’s behavior is affect-
ing the quality of family life,
then a family counseling
professional is likely a wise
choice.
Family counselors work
in a variety of ways. There
may be times when a coun-
selor will suggest that the
entire family come in for one
or more sessions. At other

By CLAIRE CURRY
Earlier this week I saw
the most beautiful Summer
Tanager ever. It was bril-
liant red, singing against
dark green trees and an
ominous dark sky. It opened
its beak to sing its robin-like
warbling phrases. Of course
I told Mom about this won-
drous and most gorgeous
bird, but she told me that I
was wrong. She, not I, had
seen the most beautiful
Summer Tanager ever. She
saw this beauty twice, sev-
eral weeks earlier, at Black
Creek Lake. I don’t know
how it could have been any
prettier than the one I saw.
It’s funny how little I ac-
tually know about Summer
Tanagers. I had to look up
all the information about
them except for their ap-
pearance. They are the only
pure red birds we have here
except for cardinals. Cardi-
nals differ in having a crest,
a conical orange beak, black
around the eyes and beak,
and the females are brown-
ish. Male Summer Tanagers
are bright red with a pale,
longer beak. Females and
immature males are green-
ish yellow, rather like a fe-
male Painted Bunting. Some
immature males are patchy
red and yellow-green.
Tanagers eat mostly in-
sects and some fruits. I
read that this species of-
ten catches flying bees and
wasps. The stingers are bro-
ken off before eating. I don’t
see them eating very often
because I usually find them
higher up in trees and in
the forests that have a nice
batch of poison ivy in the
understory. The nests are
shallow cups of grasses and
week stems, set on horizon-
tal branches 10-35 ft up in
deciduous trees. The female

AND
incubates a single brood,
usually with four eggs, for
11-12 days. The nestlings fly
after about 10 days and the
parents continue to care for
them for several weeks after
fledging.
Another beautiful but not
very well-known neotropi-
cal migrant that summers
here is the Blue Grosbeak.
Neotropical migrants are
birds that winter in Central
America and South America
and migrate north to our
area for the summer. Other
neotropical migrants in-
clude other grosbeaks, tana-
gers, warblers, orioles and
swallows. Many of these spe-
cies are of conservation con-
cern because of habitat loss
both on their wintering and
breeding grounds. They can
be more difficult to conserve
because their ranges spread
widely through many politi-
cal jurisdictions.
7:30-5:30 Mon.-Fri.
BEYOND
Back to our grosbeak: in
poor light, the male is dull
dark blue. But get it in the
right light and you have a
brilliant cobalt-blue bird
with chestnut shoulder
patches and a steel-gray
beak! The females have the
same massive, chunky beak,
but are brown with chestnut
shoulder patches.
For the last several years
we have had Blue Gros-
beaks living near our house.
Last year I saw the female
feeding a fledgling in the
trees behind the house.
This is another species for
which I have not found the
nest. They are said to nest
1-15 feet up in twig forks or
plant stems, making a cup of
twigs, stems, bark, rootlets,
and leaves lined with finer
plant materials. There are
usually four pale blue eggs
incubated by the female
for 11-13 days. The young

them.
Both male and female
Indigo Buntings are quite
similar to Blue Grosbeaks
in color (blue males; brown
females and immatures),
but lack the chestnut wing
patches. Their beaks are also
much more dainty and spar-
row-like. Once again, the
blue male of this species ap-
pears brilliant in good light-
ing, but Indigo Buntings are
an even brighter and more
glowing blue.
Indigo Buntings’ nests
consist of dry grass, weeds,
and dead leaves. The female
incubates 3-4 pale bluish or
greenish-white eggs for 12-
13 days. The nest is 5-15 ft
up in shrubs, small trees,
or tangled weeds and vines.
The nestlings fledge after 9-

Continued from 8
13 days of the female’s care.
The Painted Bunting is a close rela-
tive of the Indigo Bunting. An adult
male Painted Bunting is unmistak-
able: it has a blue head, red under-
side, yellow back, and green wings and
tail. Immature males (which will sing,
just like adult males) and females are
greenish-yellow and blend in quite
well with the foliage. Actually, it can
be a bit tricky even to see the color-
ful adult males since they just sit still
while singing.
Unlike the first three species, I have
been quite fortunate to observe sev-
eral Painted Bunting nests. The nest
is a tightly-woven cup of grasses and
weeds that is partially woven around
the bush or vine that supports it. It is
usually 3-6 feett off the ground. The fe-
male incubates her 3-5 finely-speckled
eggs for 11-12 days. The young fledge
at 8-9 days, before they can even really
fly. I will personally attest to the fact
that the tiny greenish fledglings are
quite adorable.
I have been enjoying all four of these
birds this year.
Painted Buntings are everywhere,
and I saw a gorgeous glowing Indigo
Bunting a few weeks ago. The Blue
Grosbeaks are once again hanging out
near our house.
There is even a Summer Tanager in
our woods. I tried to see it in hopes that
it would be the most beautiful Sum-
mer Tanager ever, to end my dispute
with Mom over whose tanager would
get the title. But I only heard it singing
melodically up in the leaves. Keep your
eyes open and prove both of us wrong:
find the most beautiful Summer Tana-
ger Ever.

PROTECT CHILDREN’S SKIN
FROM THE SUN
A tan on a child once was the sym-
bol that summer had really arrived.
Today, experts know that skin that has
changed color from the sun has been
damaged. Children can be especially
vulnerable to the sun’s harmful rays,
so avoid having them outside between
10 a.m. and 2 p.m. if possible. When-
ever a child is in the sun, use children’s
sunscreen or sun block. Even a dark-
skinned child can get skin damage from
the sun, so apply sunscreen frequently,
regardless of how dark the child’s skin
is. A wide-brimmed hat, an umbrella, or
a sun shield tent will give a child added
protection. Many of today’s bathing suits
offer great sun protection with tee shirts
and longer pant legs.

for caution with sun exposure for both

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
By CHRIS ROSPRIM
President
Greater Denton/Wise County
Association of Realtors
It’s springtime in Texas – and that
means lots of different things; pleas-
ant weather, Mother Nature renewing
herself, baseball season and real estate
appraisals.
Why are property taxes so high?
Very simply, Texas does not have an
income tax from which to derive fund-
ing for local services – fiscal support
for things like public schools, police
service, fire protection and road re-
pairs must come from other sources.
Property tax is the largest of these
sources.
In mid-2007, the Texas Association
of Realtors conducted a survey of Tex-
as homeowners. Austin-based Baselice
& Associates interviewed homeowners
throughout Texas to find out what is-
sues worry them. The results of the
survey indicate over half of all Texas
homeowners rate the issue of property
SUDOKU SOLUTIONS
tax and appraisals as a major concern.
How it works
Before we can discuss specifics, let’s
talk about who’s involved. Aside from
you, the property owner and taxpayer,
there are three main players in the
game – the appraisal district, local
taxing bodies, and an appraisal review
board (ARB).
The appraisal district is responsible
for assessing the value of your prop-
erty. The local taxing bodies are school
districts, counties, cities and other spe-
cial districts. These entities decide how
much money they need to provide their
services. Property tax rates are set ac-
cording to these budgets. The ARB is a
group of citizens authorized to resolve
disputes between taxpayers and the
appraisal district.
Each year between January 1 and
April 30, the appraisal district makes
value determinations for all taxable
property within its boundaries. During
this time, they also process exemption
applications and other tax relief and
property renderings.

each of these exemptions re-
duces the taxable value by
$10,000, but you may only
use one of them.
Local taxing entities may
also offer exemptions, but
this varies by county and
entity.
Your rights
The Texas Constitution
provides five basic rules for
property tax:
1. Taxation must be equal
and uniform – whether resi-
dential or commercial, no
single property or type of
property should pay more
than its fair share of prop-
erty tax.
unless a federal or state law
exempts it from the tax - ex-
emptions may exclude all
or part of a property’s value
from taxation.
4. Property owners have a
right to reasonable notice of
increases in appraised prop-
erty value.
5. Each property in a
county must have a single
appraised value.
Challenging your ap-
praisal
As a homeowner, you re-
serve the right to challenge
your appraisal if you believe
your property value is too
high or if you were denied
an exemption.
To start the process, you
must file a notice of protest.

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
tempt to resolve the issue
without appearing before
the ARB.
When you appear before
the board, keep your pro-
test simple, emotionless
and fact-based. Provide spe-
cifics – pictures and other
documents are excellent evi-
dence. Remember that the
ARB does not have any say
in tax rates, inflation or local
politics – they may only con-
sider the valuation of your
property as reported by the
chief appraiser. They are an
independent, neutral body
composed of your fellow citi-
zens and are not beholden
to the appraisal district. In
fact, the chief appraiser has
the burden of proof in these
closely aligned with those of looking out for you.
Texas homeowners. During
the 80th Texas Legislature,
which ended late last May,
the Texas Association of Re-
altors successfully backed
several measures to reform
the property appraisal pro-
cess for all homeowners.
Realtors also backed a suc-
cessful amendment that
provided for property tax re-
lief for homeowners 65 years
and older and disabled hom-
eowners.
We anticipate that real es-
tate, property tax and other
matters that concern hom-
eowners will again be hot-
button issues in the 81st leg-

2. Generally, all tangible
property must be taxed on
the basis of its current mar-
ket value – market value
is a hypothetical and is an
amount considered by the
appraiser to be a fair price
to both would-be buyers
and would-be sellers if nei-
ther were under pressure
to buy or sell. As an excep-
tion, farms, ranches and
commercial timberland can
be valued on its capacity to
produce instead of its mar-
ket value.
3. All property is taxable
Official forms are available,
but you’re not required to
use one. This notice must in-
clude your name, the prop-
erty in question, and that
you are not satisfied with
the decision of the appraiser.
The 2008 deadline is June 2,
or 30 days after the notice of
appraised value was mailed
to you, whichever is later.
The ARB must notify you
at least 15 days in advance
to let you know the time and
place of your hearing, but
you can actually contact the
appraisal district and at-
hearings, so if you present a
solid case, you have a good
shot at winning. Nationally Known

CLAYTON’S CORNER TUSCAN

By GARY CLAYTON
Wise Co. Extension Agent
According to Extension
entomologists, in the north
Texas area, homeowners
should be concerned about
possible outbreaks of wal-
nut caterpillars. This insect
is a serious threat to pecan,
oak and a few other woody
species. The walnut cater-
pillar has a tremendous ap-
petite and if enough colonies
are in a tree, they can liter-
ally strip the majority of the
foliage in a few days. The
caterpillar feeds in colonies
and do not construct webs.
They are reddish brown to
black with white markings
and long white hairs. Large
larvae are quite fuzzy and
may be up to 2 inches long.
The adult moth emerges
from pupae which overwin-
ter in the soil at the base
of a host tree. The female
moth later deposits about

that you know someone that
would really enjoy learn-
ing to fish and who knows,
maybe that “someone” has
the potential to become a fa-
mous angler.
One thing is for sure:
teaching a kid to enjoy fish-
ing will add much to the
quality of his or her life.
Make no mistake about
it, spending time teaching
youngsters the skills neces-
sary to become successful
fishermen can be challeng-
ing and sometimes, down
right frustrating, but the
end results are well worth
the tribulations.
Before embarking on that
first “training” fishing trip
with a young boy or girl
there’s one thing that you
must focus upon: this is not
your fishing trip, it’s their.
You will probably do very
little fishing.
Your time will be occupied
baiting hooks, untangling
fishing line, applying sun-
screen, dolling out peanut
butter sandwiches, Kool
Aid and...advice. It’s best to
keep things simple and plan
a trip where your youngster
will actually catch fish. This
can be as simple as using
worms under a floater at the
city park to catch bream or
fishing off the bank for cat-
fish.
A guided trip for catfish,
crappie or white bass is a
great way to introduce a
youngster to fishing. Your
guide can concentrate on
running the boat and find-
ing the fish and you can
concentrate on your young-
ster. It’s a good idea to let
your guide know the intent
of this trip is to make a life-
long fisherman out of your
kid, not catching the biggest
or most fish of your career.
Kids need action and spe-
cies such as white bass and
