By CHRIS PIKEDaily Record Reporter
Concerns have rolled inwith a cloud of confusionin the last few monthsabout the La Cima devel-opment, formerly LazyOaks, proposed for a por-tion of land located offRanch Road 12 west ofWonder World Drive justoutside of the San Marcoscity limits but within thecity’s extraterritorial juris-diction (ETJ).In this week’s City
Council meeting, a publichearing will be held toreceive comments for oragainst a request by thedevelopers of this projectto amend an existingdevelopment agreement forthe portion of land.If the amendment is
approved, the existingagreement, approximately1,396.9 acres with up to1,750 living units as wellas commercial and retailspace, will be renamed LaCima and gain an addi-tional 635 acres and 650living units.This hearing comes after
the Planning and ZoningCommission approved thedeveloper’s request lastTuesday and recommend-ed to the council that theexisting agreement bereopened in order to con-
sider amendments expand-ing the project.The amendments would
put the proposed develop-ment at approximately2,031.49 acres, with 2,400living units and commer-cial and retail space.The developers also plan
to include close to 800acres of connected and
forever-preserved parklandalong with an extension ofCenterpoint Road fromHunter Road to RanchRoad 12, and a new ele-mentary school that wouldreside within SMCISD.The developers of La
Cima have requested apublic improvement dis-trict (PID), a taxing entity
which can finance, con-struct and maintain publicimprovements, in theirplans. This is one of thesources of confusion andconcern among citizens.Some are under the
impression that the citywill assist in funding theproject. This, however, is

Secretary ofVeterans
Affairs resignsBy ANITA MILLERNews Editor
Two elected officialsin Washington to servelocal residents weighedin Friday on the resig-nation of Eric Shinsekias head of VeteransAffairs.U.S. Senator John
Cornyn (R-TX) issuedthe following statement:“After weeks of muted
reactions and tepidresponses, I’m glad tosee the President andSec. Shinseki haveheeded our calls fornew leadership at theVA. As a decoratedservice member, Sec.Shinseki served hiscountry well but histime at the VA has beenmarked by gross ineffi-ciencies and misman-agement.“President Obama
must quickly nominatesomeone from outside
the broken bureaucracyof the VA to implementimmediate changesfocused on providingour veterans with thecare they deserve.”U.S. Rep. Lloyd
Doggett (D-TX), issuedthe following statement:“The focus should
remain on getting sig-nificant improvement atthe VA. Most who workat the VA, many vetsthemselves, care deeplyfor those they serve. Wemust not allow thosewho do not believe inour vets health systemto use these incidentsto undermine it. Let’sfix it, not break it.“While General
Shinseki is a decoratedAmerican patriot, whohas offered importantservice to our country, Ibelieve new leadershipcan more effectivelysecure prompt changeand accountability."
Project Graduationneeds your help
By KIM PORTERFIELDSpecial to the Record
In five short days, almost 600 San MarcosHigh School seniors will walk the stage atStrahan Coliseum to receive their diplomas.Their next step will be real life.We have much to be proud of. Some of our
students will enter the workforce, while othersare attending some of the best universitiesaround: Texas State University, University ofTexas, Texas A&M, Austin Community College,Duke University, Rice University and BaylorUniversity, to name a few.From engineering to psychology, from health
professions to communications, from biomed-ical sciences to political science and fromfinance to dance, their fields of study are justas diverse.Sure it sounds trite, but it’s true: the youth
of today are our leaders of tomorrow, moldedby education, peers, families, neighborhoods,the environment and the support of caringadults in the community.As our graduating seniors prepare to embark
on the rest of their lives, we pause for a fewhours of celebration. Project Graduation, theannual drug and alcohol free event that fea-tures games, activities, food and prizes, allowsour kids to celebrate graduation safely withtheir friends.Project Graduation epitomizes everything
that is great about San Marcos — people withdiverse racial, ethnic, religious and socioeco-nomic backgrounds working closely together tohelp keep our teenagers safe as they celebrategraduation. The generous donations of money,

San Marcos,
My family and I will soon be leavingSan Marcos. Before we do, I wanted toshare some overdue perspective regardingthe possible designation of Spring Lake asa UNESCO World Heritage site. I wasinvolved in discussions around this issuea couple of years ago, and even gave a lit-tle talk to the community about whatwould be involved. At that time, there wasa great deal of interest in this possibility,since many people in San Marcos recog-nize Spring Lake's unique qualities. Therewas and is a lot of concern not only aboutprotecting the river from the effects ofurbanization, but also in commemoratingSpring Lake as a spiritual, economic, cul-tural, environmental, and scientific won-der. Several people have approached mein recent months wanting to know wherethe World Heritage initiative stands andwhat is being done to move it forward. Mygoal in writing this letter is to help thecommunity understand the nature of theobstacles that stand in the way of seeingthis initiative come to fruition.After I became the director of the
Center for Archaeological Studies at TexasState University in 2009, I quickly per-ceived the significance of Spring Lake tothe San Marcos community. For profes-sional reasons, it was important to helpmake Spring Lake better understood sci-entifically. As an anthropologist, it wasalso important to find ways to open thisresource to the community in terms ofshared participation and representation.Giving voices to interested local stake-holders, especially descendant communi-ties, has become one of the cornerstonesof anthropological archaeology of the 21stcentury.Striking this balance in the context of
my job as was never easy, but I was con-tinually rewarded by the feedback Ireceived not only from people of this com-munity but also by my professional col-leagues at other academic and govern-mental institutions. World Heritage desig-nation is among the highest recognitionsthat any site can receive. UNESCO oncemaintained separate lists for natural andcultural sites, but recently combined thetwo. To qualify, a property need only fulfillone of about ten criteria; Spring Lake eas-ily meets at least six of these and proba-bly more (see more athttp://whc.unesco.org/). To bring deserv-
ing attention to this important resourcewas a worthwhile goal.A number of steps must be fulfilled
before a property can be considered forlisting, and the first of these is that it belisted onto the National Register ofHistoric Places (NRHP). Because theNational Park Service maintains ournation's working list of possible WorldHeritage properties, and also maintainsthe NRHP, this step helps streamline theprocess from a bureaucratic perspective.Listing a property to the National Registeralone does not place any burden on own-ers of that property. So long as they usetheir own funds, they may proceed withwhatever renovation, refurbishment, ordemolition plans that they may have. Onlyif Federal funds or permits are involvedare additional considerations involved;these are designed to help protect proper-ties that have been determined to beimportant in local or regional history.However, even under these cases totaldemolition is an option.Understanding the University's com-
bined perspective on this issue is impor-tant to why the UNESCO initiative stalledout. As many people know, universitiesare multi-tiered bureaucracies with fre-quently conflicting priorities and philoso-phies. Theoretically, they rely on informa-tion that is often provided by “experts” atlower levels of the organization to informdecisions made at the higher ones. Atupper levels of the administration, therewas some apparent misunderstanding ofwhat is involved in listing Spring Lake tothe National Register. A Vice Presidentonce told me that he was opposed to anyhistoric designations whatsoever, but gaveno information to explain his opposition.Other administrators were sensitive to thepublic and political pressures that sur-faced in response to such prospects. Atleast one local politician inquired aboutthe perceived “invasion” of Texas andHays County by the United Nations. Ibelieve these concerns can be put to restover time with open minds and informa-tive dialog. It was at the lower levels of theuniversity system, such as theDepartment of Anthropology, preciselywhere “experts” are supposed to reside,where the most conflicting viewpointswere found, viewpoints that badly need tobe resolved.Generally speaking, the anthropology
department wasn't particularly concerned
with World Heritage designation. As agroup, however, they did oppose the ideaof opening Spring Lake to local communi-ties in any meaningful way. This becomesimportant, since broad support andshared participation would be criticallyimportant for any proposal recognizingSpring Lake to succeed. An experienceinvolving human burials illustrates thispoint. When I suggested that a set of pre-historic human remains that was removedduring the construction of the new ticketbooth be reburied on the Spring Lakepeninsula, the idea was warmly embracedby almost everyone I spoke with. By“embraced,” I mean that the Universityauthorized up to $25,000 to cover expens-es associated with the necessary consulta-tions and actual reburial. However, whencontacted by the administration, thedepartment expressed strong concernsabout “creating cultural affiliations” withcontemporary Indian groups that had no“scientific” basis, “recognizing” and there-by legitimizing Indian groups that aren'trecognized as such by the Federal govern-ment, and how reburying remains couldallow Indians to have entitlements to thereburial site (perhaps for conducting com-memorative ceremonies) that might oneday interfere with the University's man-agement of the peninsula according to itsown plans. I'm sure that not all anthro-pologists at Texas State share these opin-ions, but they were allowed to become thedepartment's official statement whenasked about reburial. When an elder ofthe local Indian community ran into aprofessor of archaeology one day at aneighborhood grocery store and askedhim why he opposed reburial, the archae-ologist dissembled about the university'smonetary concerns and claimed that noone really listened to his opinions anyway.In faculty meetings, I heard derogatoryterms like “wannabes” and “New AgeIndians” used to refer to local indigenousgroups. Department leaders even went sofar as to ask the United States govern-ment permission not to consult with localtribes about a proposed upcoming excava-tion because they had been “terrible todeal with.” This disdain for descendantcommunities wasn't limited just toIndians; I was also advised to do what Icould to keep General Edward Burleson'sfamily “off the site” lest they, too, interferewith future scientific investigations.Luckily, the Meadows Center is recog-
nized as the managers of the Spring Lakeproperty on behalf of the University. Thisis where future discussions aboutNational Register nomination seeminglyhave the best chance of succeeding. Inthis regard, it is important to note thatthe entire property, including the hillsideabove the old hotel, was recently evaluat-ed for NRHP eligibility in the context ofthe City's upcoming Loop 82 overpassproject. In their review, the City's consult-ant found the entire property to be signifi-cant. This means that no additionalassessment about National Register eligi-bility need be commissioned: one isalready on file with the Texas HistoricalCommission in Austin; at San MarcosCity offices; and with the University at theOffice of Planning, Design, andConstruction. All that's needed would beto complete a nomination form and workwith the County Historical Commission tosubmit it: http://www.nps.gov/nr/publi-cations/bulletins/nrb16a/. What wouldalso be necessary is a sustained commu-nity-wide show of interest in this designa-tion, and also in any steps that might fol-low leading eventually to World Heritagestatus. Past this point, for guidance SanMarcos can look at ongoing efforts to getthe Poverty Point site in Louisiana ontothe working list for World Heritage desig-nation, and also to San Antonio's SpanishMission Trail system, which was nominat-ed by the Obama administration in 2012.The process of getting a property onto
the UNESCO World Heritage list is com-plex, politically challenging, and probablyhas a low likelihood of success. Still,Spring Lake easily meets these qualifica-tions and enhanced visibility of thisresource, such as the outstanding filmYakona, can only help with ongoing effortsto preserve and manage it. An importantdiscussion would be how such a designa-tion might be consistent with theUniversity's long range plans and priori-ties, and also how the local and regionalcommunities can help support this cause.I hope the greater San Marcos communityis able to persevere and find ways to con-structively work with all facets of the uni-versity to achieve what really are widelyshared goals and objectives regarding thisunique resource.

Editor,
President Obama’s lax immigrationpolicies continue to put the lives ofAmericans at risk. Last year,Administration officials released intoour neighborhoods more than 36,000criminal immigrants who had nearly88,000 convictions.The crimes included hundreds of
convictions for murder, rape, and kid-
napping, and thousands of drug relat-ed crimes.This would be considered the worst
prison break in American history,except it was approved by thePresident and enabled by immigrationofficials.The release of criminal and illegal
immigrants into our communitiesalready has killed or injured thou-sands of innocent Americans. The
responsibility for this can only be laidat the doorstep of the White House.If the President cannot be trusted
to enforce current immigration laws,how can he be trusted to enforcefuture immigration laws?
Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) is the former Chairman of theHouse Judiciary Committee and repre-sents the 21st District of Texas.

Endangered species andtheir habitats in theEdwards Aquifer regionhave a fighting chance toweather the historicdrought gripping the statethanks to innovative envi-ronmental programs set inmotion in 2012 through aregional HabitatConservation Plan (HCP).In late 2006, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Servicebrought together stake-holders from throughoutthe Edwards Region todevelop a plan to protectfederally listed endangeredspecies dependent on theEdwards Aquifer. The planwas approved in 2012, andprogram implementationquickly followed.“This was a long and
intense process thatregional entities wentthrough to develop what isknown as the HabitatConservation Plan,” saidHCP ImplementingCommittee Chairman TomTaggart. “Stakeholdersdeveloped many differentcomponents to help protectthe Edwards Aquifer dur-ing critical periods. Ouroverall efforts were
designed to maintainspring flows, make sure allwater users have adequatewater supplies and reduceimpacts to endangeredspecies and their habitats.”Some of the major HCP
initiatives include:Regional Municipal
Water ConservationProgram — The goal of theprogram is to conserve10,000 acre-feet of permit-ted or exempt EdwardsAquifer withdrawals.Currently, 8,400 acre-feetof water have been enrolledin the program, with com-munities such as Uvaldeand Universal City partici-pating.Voluntary Irrigation
Suspension Program(VISPO) — The VISPO is avoluntary program open toeligible holders of irrigationwater rights from theEdwards Aquifer Authority(EAA) in Atascosa, Bexar,Comal, Hays, Medina andUvalde counties who arewilling to not pumpauthorized withdrawalrights in exchange forfinancial payments. Morethan 24,000 acre-feet ofwater have been committed
to VISPO by the agricul-ture community.ASR Leasing Program -
The Aquifer Storage andRecovery Leasing Programleases water from Edwardspermit holders so it can bestored in San AntonioWater System’s AquiferStorage and Recovery facil-ity in south Bexar County.Edwards water is storedunderground for use dur-ing extremely dry periods.When stored water is used,SAWS reduces its activepumping from Edwardswells helping to preserveflows at the Comal andSan Marcos Springs.Critical Period
Management and Stage V— Under Stage V emer-gency rules, the EdwardsAquifer permit holders arerequired to reduce wateruse from the Edwards by44 percent. This measureis currently implementedin the Uvalde Pool of theEdwards Aquifer. The SanAntonio pool is now inStage III critical periodreductions of 30 percent.Habitat Protection

not the case.According Laura
Dupont, business develop-ment director of CorridorTitleThe way the PID isproposed to work is byissuing bonds to be usedto construct the infra-structure of the develop-ment. These bonds arethen paid back by anassessment placed onproperty paid for by exist-ing and future propertyowners within the develop-ment. No public funds areused to pay these bondsback.Hays County will serve
as the sponsor for the PIDbonds. County taxes willbe used to provide servicesto the residents of thedevelopment, which wouldremain within San Marcos’ETJ subject to futureannexation.The city itself has no
participation in the PID.The developers do notneed nor have theyrequested any city funds.In fact, the city will receiveclose to $8 million inwater and wastewaterinfrastructure at no costas well as developmentfees, tap fees, buildingpermit fees, etc.Some citizens are con-
cerned that the future res-idents of La Cima will
enjoy the benefits of SanMarcos: they’ll shop here,work here, spend time atthe river here just as cur-rent residents do, but ifthe development is neverannexed they will neverhave to pay the city taxesthat residents within citylimits pay.“A minute ago we heard
the gentleman (ChuckPerry, project developer)say this would be the bestin class for Texas, best inclass for Central Texasand best in class for theregion, but what he didnot say was ‘Best in classfor San Marcos,’” local res-ident Jim Garber said atthe P&Z meeting, “becauseas proposed, this wouldnot be part of San Marcos,and annexation could bedeferred for perhaps 45years or perhaps forever.”Dianne Wassenich, pro-
gram manager of SanMarcos River Foundation,also voiced her worriesabout this issues.“If the city provides
water and wastewater fordevelopment at this loca-tion, they are assuring thedevelopers certainty,which will help them getfinancing. Yet the develop-ment will not be annexedto pay property taxes fordecades, if ever.”However, County
Commissioner Will Conleydoes not consider this aproblem for a number ofreasons.The first is that the type
of housing proposed bythe developers of La Cimawould help bring busi-nesses, and in turn, jobsto the city and countywhich would sustaingrowth in the area.“When we are trying to
convince businesses torelocate here, one of ourbiggest liabilities right nowis the unavailability of thesort of housing La Cimawill provide,” Conley said,“we have lost potentialprojects because of thatliability.”Conley also cited the
potential customer basethe development wouldbring to San Marcos.“Half of the City’s budg-
et comes from sales taxrevenue and it is vitallyimportant that we as busi-ness owners have cus-tomers who can use andafford our services,” saidConley, “I know that localbusinesses would welcomethese citizens who possiblyhave more disposableincome.”A public hearing on La
Cima is scheduled for theregular City Council meet-ing, Tuesday, 4 p.m., atCity Hall.

Measures — There are10 different habitat pro-tection programs out-lined for Comal Springs.Some measures include:aquatic vegetationrestoration, decayingvegetation removal, oldchannel restoration andnon-native species ani-mal control. In SanMarcos, 16 differentenvironmental plans arebeing implemented thatinclude: sedimentremoval, surface waterdiversions, bank stabi-lization and native ripar-ian restoration.“The HCP programs
are ways for theEdwards Region to beready for extended dryperiods, so we can mini-mize adverse impacts tothe Edwards Aquiferwater levels, spring flowsand endangeredspecies,” HCP Program
Manager Nathan Pencestated. “Everyone has astake in this programsucceeding, and we’veseen great collaborationon all aspects of pro-gram implementation.”Pence pointed out that
despite recent rainfall,the Edwards Region isstill in a drought andresidents and business-es should continue thoseextra water-conservingpractices. He encouragedpeople to find and repairwater leaks, retrofithomes and businesseswith low-flow fixtures,and being very carefulnot to overwater land-scapes.During critical peri-
ods, each water entitywill have strict outdoorwatering guidelines. Youcan check your watersupplier’s website forimportant water-savinginformation.

regular season?This week, the Daily Record takes a
look at the Bobcats’ first opponent(Arkansas-Pine Bluff) as part of a 12-week series previewing each 2014 foe. Fans probably don’t know much about

While Schertz-Clemens and Victoria East battled on Rattler Field in a neutral-site game,construction crews were hard at work putting together the stands at the new San Marcos
High School football stadium. Across town, rubble still sits outside the Pavilion at BobcatStadium. Many thought the Pavilion would be open last year, but that wasnʼt the case.

San Marcos unfortunatelywon’t get the distinction of say-ing it lost to an eventual Class 5Astate champion.However, the Lady Rattlers can
say they beat the best team outof Class 1A.San Antonio Southwest, which
beat San Marcos in the RegionIV-5A Finals two weeks ago, sawits run end in Austin last Friday.The Woodlands was just toomuch for the Lady Dragons asthe ninth-ranked team in thenation posted a 12-2, run-rulewin at Red and CharlineMcCombs Field.Just like the Lady Rattlers did
in Game 1 at the Northeast ISDSoftball Complex, the LadyHighlanders buried Southwestunder a plethora of early runs.The Woodlands scored five runsin the first inning and two more
in the second before the LadyDragons had a chance to answer.A balanced offensive attack led
the Lady Highlanders as nine dif-ferent players collected hits andeight knocked in runs.Southwest never found its grooveat the plate or in the field as theyonly had six hits and committedfive errors.Just 24 hours earlier, Weimar
won its second consecutive statechampionship when it beatHarleton. A walk-off single byEmma Holland in the bottom ofthe seventh inning gave the LadyWildcats a dramatic 4-3 win.Back in March, San Marcos
faced Weimar in the Lady RattlerSpring Break Classic. Thanks toa strong game from senior short-stop Stephanie Marmolejo (2 for2 with four RBIs) and sophomorepitcher Victoria Vasquez (fivestrikeouts in three innings), theLady Rattlers downed the Lady

THE DAILY RECORD, San Marcos, TX., Sunday, June 1, 2014 — Page 9A
RUNNING AND FITNESS...
Change your outlook on exercising and you could be happierA good many runners go for a run every
day. Sometimes it is a short three milesjog and other days the run might be aslong as ten miles.Runners, and people that exercise on a
regular basis, make up about 20 percentof the population. That leaves 80 percentof the population that is classified as inac-tive.What is it that that 20 percent of active
runners and exercise people find abouttheir active lifestyle that the 80 percent ofinactive people don’t seem to understand?Asking runners why they run finds a
variety of answers. Most answers arethings like, “enjoyment,” “fun,” and “hap-piness” or “makes me feel great!”When you ask inactive people why they
do not run, or exercise, the answers arecompletely different. They mention thatrunning is “boring” or “it hurts” or “ittakes too much time” and “it makes metired.”One side has very positive answers and
the other has very negative answers.Research has shown numerous times
that people that exercise on a regularbasis increases longevity, helps preventdiseases like heart disease, diabetes,
stroke, obesity and inmost cases acts as ananti-depressant simi-lar to taking prescrip-tion medications.With all of the posi-
tive feelings stated byrunners and havinghealth benefits men-tioned in research it isa wonder why themajority of people don’t exercise on a reg-ular basis.While obesity is a concern about people
in the United States the latest reports saythat a third of the world’s population isobese also. It is not necessarily only anational or local problem.Looking at the reasons that the inactive
people give for not exercising indicatesthat something is wrong with theirapproach to exercise.Most of the reasons are that they do
“too much, too soon,” “exercise beyondtheir present level of fitness,” and “I’vetried it before and didn’t like it mindset.”Doing too much, too soon is easy to cor-
rect.Instead of entering a 5K race for your
first try at running, maybeback off a bit and trywalking around the blockone time. A stroll aroundthe block can have youfeeling better and morepositive for about 12hours afterwards.Forget the old gym
teacher advice of, “nopain, no gain” for working
out. Nobody likes to do something that isgoing to hurt while they do it.If a workout makes you feel happier and
more energetic, chances are you will do itagain.When inactive people say they do not
like running because it is boring needsthem to look at the world and environmentaround them. This might necessitate find-ing a different environment.Instead of walking around a city block,
try walking a short distance down by theriver on the path there.In a neighborhood, have you ever
noticed the foliage on the trees, bushes,flowers, or birds near by? Instead of look-ing down at the sidewalk, or asphalt onthe street, when you are on the walk
around the block take notice of what isaround you.Boring will not be a problem now.Looking at the reasons mentioned by
runners as to why they like to run it mighthelp to partner up with one of these posi-tive minded individuals to go along withyou. Some of that positive energy justmight rub off on you.Time spent doing something that makes
you feel better and more energetic is notwasted time.Instead of making you tired, a short
time exercising within your level of fitness,will leave you feeling energetic instead oftired.Why settle for being part of a group of
80 percent of inactive people when youcan move up to the top 20 percent ofactive people.Be on top of the pyramid in life style
instead of the bottom. Make “fun,” “enjoy-ment” and happiness” part of your day.

Saunders leads State at NCAA West PrelimsFrom Staff Reports
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — AllieSaunders became Texas State’s firstathlete of the weekend to qualify forthe NCAA Final Championships laterthis month in Eugene, Ore. Saunders and the 19 other Bobcat
track and field athletes were compet-ing in the NCAA West Preliminary atJohn McDonnell Field in Fayetteville,Ark..The junior from Pearland triple
jumped 12.77 meters (41-feet-10.75-inches) to finish eighth and secure aspot in the NCAA Finals. Saunders’triple jump of nearly 42 feet matches acareer high, which the junior set thisseason.
In finishing eighth, Saunders beat anumber of opponents, including twotriple jumpers from SouthernCalifornia and ensured Texas Statewill have a representative at the NCAAFinal Championships.Freshman Marika Brown also had a
chance to extend her season lastFriday. While she didn’t qualify in the100-meter dash, Brown advanced toher second quarterfinals in the 200meters. Last Friday, the freshmansprinter finished 22nd in the 200-meter dash to advance with a time of23.97. Garrett Robinson also notched a top
25 finish for the Bobcats by clearing2.07 meters (6-feet-9.5-inches) in themen’s high jump to match his per-
formance at the Sun Belt ConferenceChampionships. Robinson, however,didn’t finish high enough to advance.
In the women’s hammer throw,sophomore Talore Kelly finished 28thwith a mark of 54.65 meters. At press time, Darian Brown sat sev-
enth place in the men’s discus with athrow of 58.10 meters. That distancewould qualify the junior for the NCAAFinals.In late Saturday night results,
Danielle Candelaria competed in thewomen’s high jump at 6 p.m, whileBrown raced in the 200-meter dash.Texas State’s men’s 4x400-meter relayteam capped off the night. Resultsfrom those events will be in Tuesday’sprint edition of the Daily Record.

Rangers allow four home runs in 10-2 lossWASHINGTON (AP) — Nationals
first baseman Adam LaRoche agreedthere’s something to the theory thathitting is contagious.If so, it looks as if there’s suddenly
an epidemic on the Nationals.Anthony Rendon went 4 for 5 and
hit one of four Washington homeruns, and Doug Fister allowed fourhits in six innings, sending theNationals to a 10-2 rout of the TexasRangers on Saturday.LaRoche, Jose Lobaton and pinch-
hitter Scott Hairston also homered.
“We’ve seen that a bunch,” LaRochesaid when asked if good hitting canspread through a team. “We sawstretches of it last year where wewould do this and say ‘here we go.’“This was huge to build off of, to
know that we can go out there and getmore than five or six hits a game andjust keep pouring it on,” LaRochesaid. “That’s what the really goodteams do.”Washington has racked up 24 runs
and 42 hits in its last three games,winning two straight to climb back to
.500.Fister (3-1) allowed two runs and
retired the first 10 Texas batters. He’s3-0 with a 2.13 ERA in his last fourstarts, with 21 strikeouts and twowalks.He came in with a 5.67 career ERA
against the Rangers, but didn’t giveup a hit until Elvis Andrus doubled inthe fourth.“He’s got the ability to work quickly,
which certainly helps your defense,”manager Matt Williams said. “Theyexpect the ball to be put in play.”

opponent; UAPB facedArkansas State inJonesboro, Ark., and wasthrottled 62-11.The question might be
which Golden Lion teamshows up versus theBobcats in late August —the 2013 team that dealtwith academic issues off thefield and an underperform-ing squad on it, or the 2012team that won 10 games enroute its first outrightSWAC title.When the academic
progress rate for all NCAADivision I programs werereleased a few weeks back,UAPB’s APR of 882 trig-gered sanctions from theNCAA. The Golden Lionswere banned from postsea-son play in 2014, but arestill eligible to compete inthe SWAC Championship,according to the Pine BluffCommercial.Despite those issues,
UAPB has some dynamicplaymakers on its team —namely two-way quarter-back Ben Anderson, who inthe face of a down seasonfor his team, led a second-half revival.The Golden Lions aver-
aged 32 points per gameduring the SWAC seasonafter only putting up 12.5 innon-conference play.UAPB’s reversal of for-
tunes was due in large partto an offensive line thatturned things around.Anderson was sacked 14times during his team’s firstfour tilts compared to 13times over the final sevencontests.The soon-to-be senior
quarterback put togetherdecent passing numbers in2013 (2,787 yards and 19touchdowns) to go with ateam-high 1,114 rushingyards and nine touch-downs. Given that,Anderson will likely benamed SWAC PreseasonOffensive Player of the Yearfor the second consecutiveseason.Now, back to what went
wrong for the Golden Lionsin 2014.UAPB simply couldn’t
stop teams from scoring atwill as its paltry defensivenumbers show; opponentsscored a SWAC-worst 40.5points per game against the
Golden Lions. The culpritwas primarily a rushdefense that surrendered277.3 yards per game and40 touchdowns, which bothranked last in the confer-ence.So in the offseason, UAPB
head coach Monte Colemantargeted defense as heinked eight defensive play-ers to National Letters ofIntent.After all, the Golden Lions
did lose their best defensiveplayer (linebacker Jer-RyanHarris) to graduation.Harris led the team with107 tackles, which rankedsixth overall in the FCS.“As a coaching staff, we
addressed some areas ondefense with four outstand-ing defensive linemen, threedefensive backs and a ‘hardhitting’ linebacker out ofPasadena City JuniorCollege,” Coleman said in apress release on NationalSigning Day back inFebruary. “I thought theoffense did well, but we gaveaway to many points andway to many yards last yearon defense. We wanted tofocus on recruiting morephysical defensive linemenand linebackers.”The “hard-hitting” line-
backer Coleman spokeabout is Ja’Von McElroy-Bradford. The JUCO trans-fer had 53 tackles in 10games last season with theLancers.McElroy-Bradford and
the Golden Lions’ suspectrush defense should betested right away by TexasState’s three-headed attackof Robert Lowe, Chris Nutalland Terrence Franks.Lowe, fresh off an almost
1,000-yard season in 2013,looked to be in August formduring spring camp.While the Bobcats used
most of the spring to workout the kinks in their newup-tempo, spread offense,Lowe remained the mostdangerous player on thefield and piled up big num-bers during each of theteam’s three scrimmages.Lowe could have a mon-
ster game in the 2014 sea-son opener and that couldmean bad news for UAPB.

Marcos had quite a bit of success inits own tournament, racking up 59runs before losing in the champi-onship game. The team that beat theLady Rattlers (Burkburnett) went tworounds deep in the Class 3A playoffsbefore losing to Brownwood in theRegional Quarterfinals.Burkburnett was one of only nine
teams to beat San Marcos in 2014.New Braunfels and Southwest eachhanded the Lady Rattlers two losses,while Corpus Christi Carroll, CorpusChristi Moody, Houston Bellaire,
Lockhart, San Antonio Holmes andSan Antonio Johnson were also suc-cessful.Out of those teams mentioned,
Bellaire had the deepest playoff runof a team not nicknamed the LadyDragons. Bellaire advanced to theRegional Finals where it lost to DeerPark, a regular fixture in the StateTournament.Other successful teams in the
playoffs included Cibolo-Steele andFort Worth Brewer.During one of the final non-district
games of the season, San Marcosused a strong approach at the plateand a three-run double by sopho-
more Mariah Delgado to beat theLady Knights 7-3. Steele beat SanAntonio Holmes and New Braunfelsbefore losing to Southwest in theRegional Quarterfinals.An early-season tournament game
saw the Lady Rattlers use 12 hits —multiple base knocks from Delgado,Ellie Hernandez, Gabby Guerreroand Marmolejo — to beat the LadyBears 6-4. Brewer advanced to theRegional Quarterfinals where it lostto Azle.When all was said and done, San
Marcos faced 27 playoff teams in2014 and two went to the StateTournament.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL...
SEC ponders a move to ‘Division IV’DESTIN, Fla. (AP) — The
Southeastern Conference sent a strongmessage to the NCAA on Friday: pro-vide the Big Five some autonomy orthey’ll form their own division.SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said if
the Big Five conferences, which alsoinclude the Atlantic Coast Conference,the Big 12, the Big Ten and the Pac-12,don’t get the flexibility needed to createtheir own bylaws, the next step wouldbe to move to “Division IV.”“It's not something we want to do,”
Slive said on the final day of the SECmeetings. “We want to the ability tohave autonomy in areas that has anexus to the well-being of student ath-letes. I am somewhat optimistic it willpass, but if it doesn't, our league wouldcertainly want to move to a Division IV.My colleagues, I can’t speak for any-body else, but I’d be surprised if theydidn’t feel the same way.”Moving to Division IV would keep the
Big Five under the NCAA umbrellawhile granting college football's biggestmoney makers the kind of power tobetter take care of student-athletes.The SEC, for example, would like topay full cost of college attendance, pro-vide long-term medical coverage andoffer incentives to kids who return toschool and complete degrees.Smaller Division I schools likely
can’t afford the changes the major con-ferences are seeking. And whileDivision II and Division III have theirown rules, forming a D-IV would seem-ingly create a wider divide between theBig Five and other smaller schools.Slive, however, said a potential move
wouldn’t disrupt championship for-mats, including the NCAA men’s bas-ketball tournament.“I’ve been so optimistic that we’re
going to stay in Division I that wehaven’t sat down and tried to map itout,” Slive said. “But we know that fail-
ure to create what we’re trying to cre-ate would result in doing somethingdifferent. How we would construct aDivision IV? We haven’t looked in that.“We hope everyone realizes we are
moving into a new era and this is theway to retain your collegiate model. Itwould be a disappointment and in myview a mistake not to adapt the model.This is a historic moment. If we don’tseize the moment, we’ll make a mis-take”University of Florida President
Bernie Machen wasn’t nearly as confi-dent about staying in Division I.“We're in a squeeze here,” Machen

Holding an “evac-uation kit,” she told students that during World War II, citizens of Great Britain who lived in cities would prepare such“kits” for their children, who would then be taken to the countryside for safety. World War II was one of several eras thefirst-ever event explored.

CORRECTIONIn the My Town section of the Sunday, May 18 edi-
tion of the San Marcos Daily Record, a story was runabout Nicci Harrison and the headline was incorrect. Itread “Local awarded birthday gong from Mid-TexasSymphony,” but it should have read “Gong donated toMid-Texas Symphony in honor of local’s birthday.” Itwas reflected correctly in the story. We apologize for ourerror.

By Bibb UnderwoodSpecial to the Record
He’s been called a “heavyhitter” in his profession byan expert on rivers. Adevout water conservation-ist has referred to him as arock star. He once thoughthe wanted to be a psychol-ogist, then an engineer,then a biologist, then ateacher of biology. So,what will Thom Hardy bewhen he grows up? No oneknows because, after anhour with him, I concludedit’s likely he may nevergrow up. And, we will allbe better for it.Officially, Thomas B.
Hardy, Ph.D. is the ChiefScience Officer for theMeadows Center for Waterand the Environment atTexas State. (If theMeadows Center does notring a bell, think TexasState’s conversion of his-toric Aquarena Springs.)Thom begins: “I was a
track scholarship athlete,majoring in psychology atthe University of Nevada-Reno when I realized I did-n’t want to spend mycareer serving mentally illfolks and so I turned tomining engineering. I thendecided I didn’t want to bea troll living underground,so I changed to biology.”In 1974 he still couldn’t
decide what he wanted hislife to be. One day, hebecame angry with his girl-friend and like an impetu-ous four year-old, the nextday, he went to the bank,withdrew all his money,bought a plane ticket toHawaii; left all his belong-ings that would not fit inhis backpack and told hisgirlfriend she could sellthem or do with themwhatever she wished.Upon arriving in Hawaii,
he biked around the islanduntil he found a roofingcompany’s Help Wantedsign. He spent a yearlearning to put roofs onhouses. That year of hardlabor helped him decide hereally wanted to be a biolo-gist.“I flew back to Las
Vegas,” Thom says, “wentto UNLV and told them Iwant to get a degree ineducation with an empha-sis on biology. I knewteachers could always get ajob. My experience in mid-dle school and high school,once again, convinced me Idid not want to do that fora living.”As he finished his edu-
cation degree, he enrolledin a BS in biology program.Jim Deacon, departmenthead at UNLV, took him onas an advisor. Jim andThom became very goodfriends and that influencedThom to continue in thebiology field and get hismasters degree in aquaticbiology under Deacon.
Thom says, “They hiredme to stay on as aresearch biologist and Istarted working on nativecritters in the inter-moun-tain west, specifically theendangered species. Ispent three weeks of themonth, looking for springsthat were not mapped andsampling the water. It wasduring that time outdoors,crazily running around thecountryside that I devel-oped my love of water andrivers. My work with JimDeacon on the endangeredspecies led to my conserva-tionist attitude aboutrivers.”His research and the
association with JimDeacon led to the next
chapter in this serendipi-tous life. The militarydecided they needed tobuild rails for the MX mis-sile to make it more diffi-cult to pinpoint in case ofan attack on the country.Thom and Jim were hiredto do the environmentalassessment for the railproject.“That was my first com-
mercial venture,” Thomrelates. “We spent theentire summer in a 35 footmotor home, going all overNevada. We had a crew of15, a fixed price contractand did well while havingfun. About the time we fin-ished our work, it wasdecided not to go throughwith the rail idea. Our con-

tract was cancelled.“That gave me this duality: lots of data; lots of field
work; and I loved the rivers. I got called in on a project inthe Eastern Sierras where an engineering firm wanted tobuild a power project with a back-storage system. Thatinvolves two reservoirs, one above the other. During peakseason, you generate power, by running the water out ofthe top reservoir and when the demand drops, you pumpthe water from the lower reservoir back up to the top.”In Thom’s mind, the engineers who started the project
were suspect. He was frustrated that he did not have theexpertise to fix or expose the problem.So, again, he somewhat impulsively left a well-paying
job and went to Utah State to pursue a doctoral degreein engineering. While working as a full time consultant,he took all the undergraduate engineering courses inorder to gain admittance to the graduate program. Sixyears later, Thom received his Ph.D. in engineering. Thiswas 1988.With a plethora of research data and expertise in biolo-
gy and engineering, he was asked by Utah State to stayas a member of the faculty as a Research AssistantProfessor. He remained in this position for about twoyears.“While in this position, I was recruited by Woodward
Clyde, a large multi-national firm from California,” Thomsaid. “When I went to the dean and told him I would beleaving for a new job, he urged me to wait. In two hoursor so, he returned and said, ‘We want you to stay and wewill give you a tenured track.’ So, I stayed, eventuallybecoming a full professor in the engineering departmentat Utah State.”In 1989, Thom started the Institute for Natural
Systems Engineering, a blending of his biology and engi-neering expertise. In this position, he was able to developan expert staff of 12 people or so who were mastersdegree candidates. As a result of the work accomplishedby the Institute, Thom was appointed Associate Directorof the Utah Water Research Laboratory.According to Thom, “Every state has a Water Research
Lab. Texas A&M is the seat of Texas.’ Utah’s is one of thelargest in the country and is ideally located to access theflow of the Logan River. Projects included building scalemodels of dams and flumes and we were able to measureflow, and anything that had to do with water.”To compress his coming to Texas into a narrative that
fits into the space available for this article, suffice to say,he contracted with Texas Fish and Wildlife to teach andtrain people in the science of river flow and physicalhabitat simulation.In his own modest declaration, he says, “I became one
of the world’s experts in that arena. I had trained peoplefrom Texas Fish and Wildlife in Utah to do the studies onthe Comal River. As a result, Texas Parks and Wildlifecontacted me to come down and train their people to dosimilar studies on the San Marcos River.”Through this work, he met Andy Sansom, head of the
Meadows Center for Water and Environment. Sansomhired Thom to be the independent science reviewer for amajor LCRA/San Antonio River project. This commitmententailed flying to Texas each month for meetings andreviews of the science of the project. Eventually, the proj-
ect was cancelled.“The Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan was
underway about this time,” Thom related. “They contact-ed me for assistance and I was coming to Texas for abouta week every month. It occurred to me that I was tiredshoveling snow from my driveway every morning at 3:00a.m. and Andy had made overtures about my coming toTexas. In 2009, I called him and asked if he was seriousabout bringing me to Texas.“He called a couple of days later and offered me a rea-
sonable package. I quit a tenured position, came to theRiver Systems Institute, as it was then known, for a twoyear project to develop the San Marcos River ObserverSystem.”Thom’s work with the Meadows Center has resulted in
his recent elevation to the endowed chair of Professor ofEnvironmental Flows with Texas State.He continues with ongoing projects and teaching at the
university. One of his projects involves the use of dronesto more efficiently disburse irrigation water. Drones arealso in use to study the characteristics and changes in
rivers.What is the future of water in Central Texas, I asked.“Water conservation,” Thom replied. “We have to dispel
the notion of green lawns, and unfettered consumption.Perhaps, in 10 years, all new construction will require,rain water harvest and gray water catchments.Desalinization will be essential, as well.”This article would not be complete without a short
account of what Thom Hardy’s four-year-old self does.First, he is an avid automobile buff, engaged in autocrossracing.“I own a 2004 Subaru WRX STi which I bought in New
Jersey and had shipped to Utah,” Thom said. “Soloautocross racing is what I do. We go to large parkinglots, set up cones for a different course every race. Itinvolves gates and slaloms and turn-arounds. It is highlytechnical driving and is extremely competitive. I race inthe STU (Street Touring Ultra) class. Retama sports park,San Antonio Raceway and College Station Riverside com-plex are some of the common areas where we race.”Second, as a result of an invitation to go fishing in
Alaska around 1988, he has developed yet another life.While on that trip, he had the unlikely notion that, “Hey,I can do this.”Thom’s explanation: “On my way back from that trip, I
re-routed myself through Portland, OR and bought thesupplies needed for such a trip. The following summer, Itook one boat and three people on a 12 day Alaskan fish-ing trip. The next year I had two boats and six people.Now, I have three boats. Every even numbered year, Iorganize the trip, invite 12 people, usually friends, andprepare the supplies, including food. We meet inAnchorage, where the bush pilot picks us up for our tripto our destination.“There we get on our boats with the supplies. A hun-
dred miles and a month later, we meet another bushpilot who picks us up, flies us to a small village on theBering Sea and then back to Bethel, AK, thence toAnchorage. I have made 13 or 14 of these trips.”There is not space in this article to capture the com-
plete Thom Hardy, just as in real life, there’s no oneworld out there large enough to hold all his innovativeimagination, boundless energy and impetuous directionchanges. A man of many parts, he is part ordinary guywho likes to fish and part Renaissance man who mighthave the answer to our approaching water crisis.

Terry Davis, pro-fessor of Forestryat AuburnUniversity inAlabama and amember of VillageChristian Churchwhere I servedonce, was havingsome trouble getting his two boys to leave home aftercollege.His wife Betty was a wonderful cook. The boys
would not move out. Homemade apple pies and othergoodies. No rent.Terry would tell Betty that she was making the
nest too comfortable for the boys. He told her hisfavorite mother eagle story.The mother eagle builds a nest up high and safe
somewhere away from predators. She lays sticks andmakes the nest soft with feathers. Food is providedby the mother eagle.The young eagles never want to leave the nest.When the mother eagle knows it is time for her
young ones to learn to fly, she kicks the sticksupright which makes the nest suddenly very uncom-fortable, the young eagles stand up to avoid thepointy ends of the sticks. Then the mother eagerkicks them out of the nest and they suddenly learnto fly.Several years ago San Marcos was having a torna-
do and hail storm on a Friday night. Daniel hadreceived his driver’s license recently and he treas-ured his used Camaro that he was driving. He wasout in the storm.Pam and I were safe inside our home and had just
sat down to eat a steak dinner after a typically longweek of teaching school and pastoring a church. Thephone rang.It was Daniel. He was in the hail storm, had
stopped and asked one automotive shop if he couldpull his Camaro into an empty bay top to avoid thehail. The owner would not let Daniel pull his car infrom the hail storm.I listened, and told Daniel to call me back in an
hour.I got off the phone and Pam asked what Daniel
wanted. I said, “He is stuck in the rain and hail. Hehas a flat tire. He cannot get the lug nuts off thewheel. Those lug nuts are frozen onto the wheel. Heis laying blankets on the car to protect it from thehail. He is also laying ON the car himself to try andprotect his car from the hail.”She could not believe that I was not going to go
help him in the storm. I told her what I told him, “Ijust sat down to eat a nice steak. I told him to callme back in an hour.”Wrong answer. She glared at me. I told her, “If he
is old enough to drive then he is old enough to figureout how to get lug nuts off a wheel in a hailstorm. Hewill figure it out.”He did figure it out. He called his friend Rudy of
Rudy’s Automotive. Rudy immediately drove his towtruck to Daniel’s car, used a power wrench to breakloose the frozen lug nut, changed the tire, and Danieldrove his car to an overpass to protect his car fromhail damage.Daniel loves telling this story.Adversity and problem solving are part of growing
up into adults.I enjoyed my steak. Daniel figured it all out.
Terry’s and Betty’s boys left the nest have their ownnests and families now. Our family laughs about thestorm night story. Daniel was proud that I trustedhim enough to become a man though solving hisown problems that night. He is also very glad tohave a mom on his side!

All too often family adventures canturn sour due to poor planning, unfore-seen accidents or other mishaps. Mygrandmother always said “an ounce ofprevention is worth a pound of cure.”She was right. Planning ahead is alwaysa critical part of enjoying fun andhealthy family time.Sometimes family adventures can be
tiresome simply because it seems to takeforever to get everyone ready, out-the-door and strapped into their seatbelts. Ahuge time saver and energy boost is toprepare in advance. Be prepared andstay prepared. Pack a summer daypackfor your family in order to avoid all thechaos. Leave this Summer SurvivalPack ready and hanging on a hook nearthe door. Grab it as you are ready toleave. This time saving measure willenhance your personal sanity while alsoteaching organizational skills to your chil-dren. You might even choose to have onefamily pack plus each child can have herown summer survival pack too.So what should you put in your
Summer Survival Pack? Include the obvi-ous things, of course. Ask yourself whatyou might need during a day trip. Do notforget to include bottles of water, healthysnacks, sunscreen, bug repellant, bathingsuits, a first aid kit, personal medications,lip balm, an emergency $20, hat and sun-glasses. But keep it light. Don’t over pack.You probably will not need three pairs ofextra socks and two umbrellas for every-one.After the common sense items, consider
your children’s specific needs. Is youryoungest prone to carsickness? Throw insome crackers, peppermint gum andDramamine. Have a little one prone topotty accidents? Some extra undies and aclean pair of shorts must be tossed in. Besure to remember a light sweater for thoseover air-conditioned places you might findyourself in.Once your pack is complete, create a
checklist that can be stored right inside.
When you get home after each adventure,take five minutes, no matter how exhaust-ed you feel, to immediately re-stock itemsthat have been used up during the day.Add any other items that you may haveoverlooked as well. With a small amountof simple organization, setting out forsummer adventures can be simplified.Before you set out, there are a few other
necessary reminders. Consider your desti-nation and make adjustments to yourneeds list. Check your children’s feetbefore you get into the car. A commonmistake: children wearing the wrongfootwear. For example, if you are headedout for a hike, those flip-flops won’t do.No matter what your destination, comfort-able, closed toe footgear can save yourday. And don’t forget the water shoes.Also, never underestimate our Texas sun.Choose shirts that cover the shoulders toprevent sunburns.No one is immune to injury, accidents
or illness. Although these tips are com-mon knowledge that we have all heardhundreds of times, they are worth repeat-ing: Hydrate, reapply sunscreen, hydrate,wear a life vest, always wear seatbelts,hydrate, avoid busy travel times, anddon’t drive when feeling sleepy. Now gohug your family.

A WordAbout RecyclingFrom a recent Resource Recycling
eNewsletter we found several itemsconcerning the recycling of electronics.One of the things that surprised us
is a survey should 25 percent ofyounger people between 18 and 49(that’s a lot younger than us) keeptheir old unused smartphones asopposed to only 9 percent of thoseolder than that. (Maybe us older folkjust don’t have that much storagespace anymore…)Another report concentrated on the
value of the materials lost when land-filling electronic items rather thanrecycling them. For example, if onemillion cell phones are landfilled, theloss is 35,000 pounds of copper, 772pounds of silver, 75 pounds of goldand and 33 pounds of palladium.And the worst part is that in 2010
alone, over 150 million phones endedup in the landfill.Switching to what is happening over-
sea, in the same eNewsletter was acouple of items we felt were worth not-ing.We find in Hong Kong, the lawmak-
ers are looking at a proposal to make acentralized e-scrap recycling center. Itwould handle about 80,000 tons of e-scrap being thrown away every year.Also overseas, with the soccer World
Cup to take place in Brazil, its citizensare expected to buy between 18 and 20million new televisions sets.Unfortunately, Brazil has not beenenforcing the standards for disposingof the old CRT sets…. Which could bea problem.Leaving electronics and going to
composting and recycling other items
back here in the states. From an emailforwarded to us, we find an award hasbeen given by the EPA of Region 7 tothe Washington University in St. Louis(WUSTL). The award was for its inno-vative recycling and food recovery pro-grams which reduced its volume ofsolid waste.Through their program, since 2011
the Dining Services of WUSTL has kept317 tons of food waste out of the land-fills.Much of the Dining Services food
waste is converted into compost at theSt. Louis Composting facility. The com-post is then used on campus grounds.The university also uses 100 percent
recycled napkins and compostable to-go containers. They also send 23,000gallons of kitchen waste cooking oil tobe changed into biodiesel fuel for theirtrucks.We also find WUSTL eliminated the
sale of bottled water on its grounds. Itwas the first university in NorthAmerica to do this. This ban eliminatesan estimated 386,000 bottles, thussaving about 15,000 gallons of oil eachyear that would have been needed tomake these bottles. To help the stu-dent refill their reusable water bottlesfast and conveniently, the universityinstalled water fountain retrofits.
And finally for today, in case youdidn’t see the 150 new words acceptedin the 2014 edition of the Merriam-Webster dictionary, here are a few:"selfie" "hashtag," and "e-waste." (E-Waste is what much of this article isabout… good thing we now have it inthe dictionary.)Till next week, do have a great one...

AUSTIN — The TexasParks and WildlifeDepartment has released asobering video aimed atmotivating teens andyoung adults to follow sim-ple safety guidelines whileboating. It debuts in thewake of an unusually highnumber of drownings andfatal boating accidentsacross the state in recentweeks.The video, ‘Never
Happens: True StoriesFrom Texas Boaters andSwimmers,’ is a compellingreminder to be safe on thewater by wearing a lifejacket, learning to swimand closely supervisingchildren to prevent drown-ing,” said Tim Spice,TPWD’s boater educationmanager. “Thanks to theTexas legislature, whichmandated the new videoand directed that it to beshown in driver educationclasses, the message willbe reaching some 225,00015- and 16-year-oldsannually.”In the video, which will
be shown to all teenagerstaking driver educationcourses, several teenagerswho witnessed or surviveda boating accident ordrowning tell their tragicstories.A Jet Ski accident
changed the life of one ofthe teenagers in the video,Zack Parker.“Their jet ski crushed my
knee into eight pieces,”recalls Parker in the video.“Lacerated my spleen, liverand pancreas. My aortahad… torn. I’m alivebecause I was wearing alife jacket.”Parker survived. A friend
of Katy Copeland did not.“They tell you what they
did, how hard they tried,and that she just wouldn’t,she just wouldn’t comeback,” Copeland said. “Andthat’s what happened.”Since May 9, at least 24
people have lost their liveson Texas waters in boatingor swimming accidentsworked by Texas gamewardens, an unusuallyhigh number of fatalities.Last year in Texas, 146
accidents were reported by
the U.S. Coast Guard, 31of which ended withdeaths. Statistics showmany of these tragediescould have been prevented.“The Coast Guard says
that 90 percent of the peo-ple who drowned in a boat-ing related accident wouldbe alive if they had a lifejacket on,” Spice said.“That’s significant.”State law requires that a
personal floatation deviceis available for each occu-pant of a boat, and chil-dren under 13 years of ageare mandated by the law towear one while the boat orpaddle craft is underway ordrifting.The new video resulted
from HB 673, authored byRep. Tan Parker, with helpfrom Rep. Lyle Larson tosecure funding for theproject.Stressed in the video are
four basic precautions forboaters of any age:Wear a life jacket. Most
persons who have died in aboating accident would be
alive today if they hadworn a life jacket.Use the ignition safety
switch. Commonly called a"kill switch," it stops theengine if you fall over-board. Don't be stranded,or run over by your boat.Learn how to swim.Take a Boater Education
course from TPWD: Itcould save your life.TPWD produced a 2:41

and is both kid and adult friendly.The ship offers sword fighting, treas-ure hunting, water gun fights andmore.Port Aransas Mayor Keith
McMullin said, “Port Aransas hasbecome a premier family vacationdestination in Texas. The RedDragon pirate cruise will be a greatfamily adventure and should be verywell received by our visitors.”Tom Rolls, aka Sir Thomas —
Keeper of Hooligans, will serve as theentertainment director for the enter-prise."We’re going to offer a pre-board
show as well as the on-board pro-duction, and we’re having a lot of funin the process," Rolls said. “Theentertainment on the Red Dragonwill be every bit as exciting as thatput on by the crew of our sister shipin South Padre, the Black Dragon,but we’ll have our own storyline. I’mnot a native of Port A, but I’m toldthat the pirate tradition runs deephere, and we plan to use as much ofthe local talent as we can in selectingour crew.”Captain Gary McDonough, aka
Captain Silverbeard, will be at thehelm of the Red Dragon. McDonoughhas been a boat captain for 34 yearswith two years in the US CoastGuard before that.“Going to work in an imaginary
world is going to be lots of fun, but I

I tend to let potatoes grow sprouts and go bad inmy pantry. It’s not that I have anything really againstthem personally, I’m always too lazy to cook them.They take too long and then they’re always moreheavy than I anticipate. Of course, there’s no wayaround the heaviness, but this recipe helps out a littleby minimizing oils used, and making them deliciousby seasoning with rosemary and basil instead of but-ter. And sticking them in the oven and setting a timeris much easier than standing over a skillet waiting forthem to finally be done.
Ingredients:Chopped or sliced potato(s)One Tbsp olive oilOne or two minced garlic cloves
One Tbsp chopped basilOne Tbsp chopped rosemaryOne Tsp Mrs. DashA bit of chopped parsley (or a lot, if you’re a fan)
Directions:1. Pre-heat your oven to 475 degrees.2. Combine your oil and spices in a large bowl with
your potatoes. Stir, toss, do whatever necessary tocoat your potatoes evenly.3. Get out your favorite roasting pan and toss your
potatoes in there. Even them out a bit just so somearen’t more toasty than others.4. Put them in the oven for 20 minutes. Sometimes
I check on them early and stir them around a bit soall the potatoes get cooked properly. Then, whenyou’ve baked them to your liking, wait till they cooldown and serve with some chicken and vegetables.Enjoy.

YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you have a great deal to offer theworld and your fellow human beings, yet you maynot always feel confident about this. Your searchfor your proper niche is likely to be a lifelongprocess. What you must learn, of course, is thatyour instincts are generally accurate, but it's yourmind that can sometimes cloud the issues. Youknow, instinctively, when something is right foryou and when something is not, but you have ahabit of second-guessing yourself and thus stand-ing in your own way. Even though others oftenpraise you and admire your accomplishments, youtend to think that there is always something moreto do, or that you can do it better.
You tend to be rather solitary, yet you are at-tracted to collaborative endeavors. You love beingpart of a team, but you may always wonder if yourteammates appreciate you and your contributions.This, of course, is mere insecurity -- and ulti-mately an unnecessary burden.
Also born on this date are: Marilyn Monroe,actress; Morgan Freeman, actor; Heidi Klum,model and television personality; Andy Griffith,actor; Pat Boone, singer and actor; Alanis Moris-sette, singer; Brian Cox, actor; Frank Morgan,actor; Brigham Young, religious leader; EdwardWoodward, actor; Nelson Riddle, composer andbandleader; Rene Auberjonois, actor.

How long can a birdlive?The answer depends on
the species and whetherit is in captivity or in thewild. Generally, largebirds live longer thansmall ones and birds incaptivity live longer thanthose in the wild.According to a U.S.
Fish and Wildlife study,the laysan albatross, witha wingspan of almostseven feet, has a maxi-mum recorded lifespan ofover 37 years. A northernshrike, which is about 10inches long, has arecorded lifespan of justover three years.Top five birds in terms
of longevity are laysanalbatross, Arctic tern,great frigatebird, Westerngull, and common murre.All these lived over 20years.Shortest lived birds are
northern shrike, black-
poll warbler, Allen's hum-mingbird, golden-crowned kinglet andhouse wren. None ofthese lived longer than
seven years.Birds can be very long-
lived in captivity. One
ANSWERS TO GO WITHSUSANSMITH
What exactly is a ‘thunderbolt?’Each week "Answers To
Go" highlights recentlyreceived questions frompatrons of the San MarcosPublic Library. Visit thelibrary at 625 EastHopkins, call (512) 393-8200, or e-mail us atwww.sanmarcostx.gov/library for more information.
Q: What is a thunder-bolt? My friend thinks it’sjust a synonym for light-ning.
A: We’re alwayshappy to research topicsof amiable dispute.Let’s begin with our ref-
erence desk dictionary,“The Random HouseWebster’s UnabridgedDictionary.”Here’s definition one: “A
flash of lightning with theaccompanying thunder.” Iimagine this is the mean-ing your friend had inmind.Definition two: “An
imaginary bolt or dart
conceived as the materialdestructive agent cast toearth in a flash of light-ning, as in the thunder-bolts of Jove.”Definition three:
“Something very destruc-tive, terrible, severe, sud-den, or startling.”Definition four: “A per-
son who acts with fury orwith sudden and irre-sistible force.”Let’s check a scientific
resource, too. “TheEncyclopedia of Weatherand Climate” offers thefollowing definition: “Athunderbolt is a rock,piece of metal, or dartthat storm gods such asZeus (Jupiter) and Thorwere once believed to hurlat the Earth.“As they traveled
through the air, thunder-bolts could be seen aslightning, and they werebelieved to cause thedamage that occurs whenlightning strikes an objector person.“When lightning strikes
sand, the sudden dis-
charge of energy is oftensufficient to melt thegrains, producing anirregular mass of glasscoated in sand grainscalled a fulgurite.“Fulgurites are usually
about half an inch indiameter, with sidebranches. Most are lessthan 10 feet long, butthey can be more than 60feet long. A piece of suchglass was assumed to be athunderbolt.“In ancient Greece and
Rome, the area around alightning strike wasfenced off and consideredsacred. Persons killed bylightning were buriedwhere they died, ratherthan in the usual burialground.“It was not until 1752
that the true, electricalnature of lightning wasproved by BenjaminFranklin and, independ-ently, by the French sci-entist Thomas-Francoisd’Alibard.”

PALS (Pet Prevent a Litter of CentralTexas) offers several ways you can helpthe many kittens born this spring in ourarea.1) This time of year, it’s very common to
find kittens that have been born to a strayor unowned cat. What’s the best course ofaction to take care of these young lives?First of all, young kittens are always bet-ter off with their mother until about fiveweeks old, so if you see kittens withouttheir mother, observe from a distance andwait at least four to six hours to allowtheir mother to come back. If you’re surethat the kittens are without their mom,there are steps to take, depending on theage of the kittens and whether the motheris tame or feral. Austin Pets Alive has agood guide on their website for assessingthe situation and taking appropriatesteps.2) Animal shelters and rescue groups
can help with adoptions, but there is a lotthat individuals can do to help find kit-tens good homes. PALS invites caringindividuals to volunteer to foster kittensthis spring to help us save lives.

sulphur-crested cockatoo, anAustralian parrot, lived most of its 80-plus years in a zoo. Captive Canadageese have lived 33 years, house spar-rows 23 years, and northern cardinals22 years. Life spans for these birds inthe wild are much shorter.However, just to confuse the issue,
the record for a European starling inthe wild, 20 years, is three years longerthan for any starling captives.Much of the statistical data comes
from studies of banded birds, and sci-entists caution rankings would changeif greater numbers were studied.
