“Each man's life represents a road toward himself.”(Herman Hesse). As you continue to experience this new year, take amoment to assess what road you are on. Two majorinsights are necessary to explore: “Are you happy?”and “Are you being productive?” No matter your age,these two aspects of your life are major thought moti-vators or distractors. For example, if your thoughts arefocused on a negative - health, personal development,or whatever - you need to refocus. Tomorrow nevercomes; it is always today when it arrives. Don’t putthings off. Celebrate life by thinking about what youneed, want, and can do now to be happy and produc-tive.

Not Too Late: DSHS EncouragesPeople to Get the Flu Shotfrom the Texas Department of State Health Services

The Texas Department of State Health Services reminds people it’s not too lateto protect themselves and their loved ones from flu. Vaccination can help reduce therisk of flu and its potentially serious complications. People can find out where flushots are available at texasflu.org or by contacting their health care provider. “Last flu season was severe, and the U.S. saw a record number of flu-relatedhospitalizations and pediatric deaths,” said Dr. Jennifer Shuford, DSHS InfectiousDisease Medical Officer. “We have no way of knowing if this flu season will bemilder or just as severe as last season. We are recommending all Texans 6 monthsof age and older get their flu vaccine as soon as possible.” Vaccination is especiallyimportant for older adults, infants, pregnant women and people with chronic healthconditions because they are at greater risk of developing serious complications fromthe flu. Influenza is a contagious disease caused by one of a number of related viruses.Flu symptoms may include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, bodyaches and fatigue. The onset of symptoms is sudden, and people should stay homeuntil at least 24 hours after their fever is gone except to get medical care. Peopleexperiencing symptoms are encouraged to seek treatment promptly. Antiviral drugsmay shorten the duration or lessen the severity of the flu if started within 48 hoursof the onset of symptoms. People can help stop the spread of flu by getting vaccinated, washing hands fre-quently, covering coughs and sneezes and staying home when they’re sick.

Texas has been home to many imaginative scien-tists, artists, and writers. Because of their dreams anddetermination, they changed how people saw theworld. One Texas writer in particular, GeneRoddenberry, created one of the most successful sci-ence fiction stories today, Star Trek. Born Eugene Wesley Roddenberry in El Paso in1921, he was the eldest child in a Southern Baptistfamily. In 1923, his father accepted a position at theLos Angeles Police Department, and the family leftTexas for California. As a child, Roddenberry was very imaginative. Heloved reading science fiction and had fair grades inschool. He considered following in his father’s foot-steps and began taking criminal justice courses whenhe later enrolled at Los Angeles City College.However, the approach of World War II shifted hisfocus. Increasingly interesting in aviation, he began tak-ing flight lessons through the military’s Civilian PilotTraining Program. He earned his pilots license andenlisted in the Army Air Corps less than two weeksafter Pearl Harbor. He became a B-17 bomber pilotwith the Thirteenth Air Force, based out of Hawaii.He earned a Distinguished Flying Cross and rose tothe rank of captain. After the war, Roddenberry worked for Pan AmAirways as an international pilot. In 1947, hisLockheed L-049 crashed in Syria. He suffered twobroken ribs in the crash. As the plane caught fire, heworked to pull as many injured passengers from thewreckage as he could. Fifteen passengers died, but he

saved many others, and led the survivors through thedesert to find help. He flew for Pan Am for anotheryear before resigning to pursue his dreams of being awriter. Success did not come easily. Having difficultyearning a living to support his wife and young chil-dren, he joined the LAPD in 1949. Using his policeexperience, he soon became a technical advisor forthe early drama Mr. District Attorney, for which healso wrote the occasional episode. He later worked asa writer for Highway Patrol. He was also sellingscripts for popular westerns as well. He was doing sowell that he resigned from the police force in 1956. In 1958, he started writing for the popular west-ern Bat Masterson and Have Gun – Will Travel. Hewon an award from the Writer’s Guild of America foran episode of the latter that year. Roddenberry tried todevelop several different television series, but he haddifficulty selling any to the networks. In 1963, NBCpicked up his series The Lieutenant, a drama aboutthe lives of Marines starring Gary Lockwood andRobert Vaughan that ran for only one season. Roddenberry began developing a new science fic-tion series in 1964 that ultimately became Star Trek.Networks were hesitant, but Roddenberry pitched itas a futuristic western based on a starship. CBSrejected the series outright, but NBC was interested.The pilot episode that emerged, “The Menagerie,”starring Jeff Hunter as Captain Pike, Leonard Nimoyas Mr. Spock, and Roddenberry’s future wife, MajelBarrett, did not impress the network. Executivesfeared the theme of aliens, ESP, and an interracialcrew would not sit well with audiences. However,they enjoyed the concept of the program and orderedit revamped. Roddenberry complied, keeping Nimoy andbringing in William Shatner to play Captain James T.Kirk. The second pilot aired in 1966, and the pro-gram immediately developed a steady following of

fans. Roddenberry kept the showfocused on morality plays and allegories of currentevents in the 1960s. Overall, he based the series onhis idea of a utopian future for humanity, one wherewar, poverty, crime, and disease had ended and allraces worked together as equals. This hopeful view ofthe future attracted many fans looking for an escapefrom the chaotic and violent events of the decade.However, ratings were low; and Roddenberry oftenclashed with network executives. The series wasnearly cancelled in 1968, but a letter-writing cam-paign allowed Star Trek to proceed to a third season. After the series was cancelled in 1969,Roddenberry’s personal life was a mess. His mar-riage had fallen apart, and he had several affairs. Heultimately divorced and remarried. He tried to devel-op several other science fiction series and movies butnone was ever particularly successful. Star Trek’s popularity continued to grow after itscancellation. In 1976, NASA invited the cast to theunveiling of the space shuttle prototype, calledEnterprise as the result of a writing campaign. By thelate 1970s, he entered discussions to revive Star Trekas a television series, but the unexpected success ofStar Wars in 1977 led studio executives to push for amovie version instead. The Star Trek movie premiered in 1979. Threemore movies followed in the 1980s, leading to anupdated version of the series with a new cast, StarTrek: The Next Generation, in 1987. Four more serieswould emerge as well as two more currently in devel-opment as well a half dozen more movies. He died of a heart attack at his doctor’s office inLos Angeles in 1991. As a final salute to the sciencefiction pioneer, a portion of his ashes were flownaboard a flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia in1992. Though many of his other works have beenlargely forgotten, Star Trek has become a billion-dol-lar franchise from TV shows, merchandising, andmovies.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) encourages Texans in allregions of the state to make preparations for staying safe as we approach theofficial start of winter. “As we know all too well, Texas weather can change in an instant,” saidDPS Director Steven McCraw. “Every year, Texas faces serious dangersbrought on by winter weather conditions, including freezing temperatures,ice, sleet and even snow. Taking extra safety precautions now could make allthe difference during these potentially severe weather events this winter.” Texans can prepare their vehicles for the winter by checking the battery,windshield wipers (including appropriate freeze resistant-fluid), tire pres-sure, tire tread and fluid levels, as well as taking time to lubricate door andtrunk locks to prevent freezing. In addition, the following is a list of emergency supplies drivers cankeep in their vehicle: • Blankets/sleeping bags; • Extra clothing, including gloves and a hat; • Cell phone, radio, flashlight and extra batteries; • First-aid kit and pocket knife; • High calorie, non-perishable food and bottled water; • Bag of sand or cat litter to provide traction for tires; and • Windshield scraper, tool kit, booster cables, tow rope and a shovel. DPS offers the following additional tips for staying safe during pos-sible winter weather: • Monitor local weather broadcasts and follow up-to-the-minute weatherconditions at National Weather Service. • Purchase an all-hazards weather radio for up-to-date warnings, watch-es, forecasts and other hazard information. • Sign up for your local emergency notification system. • Make sure you have inclement weather contact numbers for schools andwork. • Check on friends and family members whose health or age may putthem at greater risk from cold weather. • Allow extra time when traveling in inclement weather. • Avoid traveling when sleet, freezing rain or snow is predicted, and mon-itor road conditions by visiting Drive Texas or by calling 1-800-452-9292. • On icy roads, drive slowly and increase distance required for stopping,and avoid using cruise control. • Make sure your vehicle is properly maintained before any trip, and keepyour gas tank full.Watch for downed trees and power lines acrossroads. If power is out, treat all intersections asfour-way stops. • Insulate outside faucets and pipes near outerwalls. • Make sure that furnaces, heaters, fireplacesand wood stoves are clean, well-ventilated and ingood working condition. • To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning,never operate generators and other fuel-powereddevices inside a home or an enclosed space, suchas a garage. The deadly odorless, colorless gas isproduced any time a fossil fuel is burned, withsources including motor vehicle engines, genera-tors and fuel-burning appliances or heating sys-tems. Consider installing a carbon monoxidedetector. • Make arrangements for proper shelter and anemergency supply of food and water for your petsand livestock.
