Letters to the editor
I
Kid's
Dear Editor,
I am writing to tell you about
my complaint I think Ingleside
should have a kid’s hangout
By this I believe kids should
have a place to go intead of being
out roaming the streets This
would cause less trouble as well.
Thank you.

fe Litter
A’? -’ Dear Editor,
Unlike most young teens I am
concerned about our litter prob-
lem. I see litter everywhere. I see
r.C . people leaving garbage where
they finish with it . I see a world of
I. trash.
. 'A Betides that, we have too many
■ dump sites. Where will the next
one be? The ocean? The city
parks? The untouched and
I J f*. beautiful forests? Or even our
' * front yards?
Isay we act now! Recycle! Stop
| Littering! Please save our world
before it is too late. Thank you.
ISv Yours truly,
Shannon Siniolke

Dear Editor,
I There should be something
done about the way the roads are
being fixed in Ingleside. After
talking to other people, I hav
I found that they are displeased ab-
I^V out this matter also. One reason
for my displeased attitude is that
he construction crews are work-
ing much too fast and carelessly
on these roads
What they are really doing is
g, making Ingleside messier than it
sould be. They should be taking
i more time on one location rather
I .*!• than trying to work in several
m
locations at one time.

& Dear Editor
I- Why doesn't anyone do any-
Ji thing about our street problem?
FhW you put down a brand new
street, then tear it up a few days
jrafev later after deciding you want
drainage pipes put in. Why didn’t
you put the drainage pipes in at
‘ ’. the same time you put the new
street in?

fixed such as the ones near the
Thanks
Dear Editor,
Citizens of Ingleside, if you
have not driven by our little
league parks lately, please do. A
welcome change is taking place.
Due to the time and effort of little
league president Andy Hill, the
parks are getting a long overdue
face lift
They will become a great place
for families to sit and watch our
children play balj As a parent I
am grateful, but as a coach and a
citizen, I am ashamed that I did
not become involved sooner and
help. Thank you Andy Hill for
caring

Appreciation
Dear Editor,
I w ould I ike to express my apre-
ciation to Coach Shaver, the
coaching staff at Ingleside High
School and to the football players
for their outstanding season so
far.
My friends and I are greatful for
their winning record, keep up the
good work; we re backing you all
the way. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Diegel
Hang Out
Dear Editor,
This letter is to point out that
we teenagers have no place to
hang out in Ingleside. Some
teenagers hang out onthe streets,
but most of our parents don’t
think that is a good idea. If there
were a safe, well supervised place
to go, maybe more parents would
let us stay out and have fun.
I hope someone will consider
this idea. I am sure it would make
a lot of teenagers happy.

Go TEAM
Dear Editor,
I’m an eighth grade student at
Leon Taylor Junior High School.
I’m writing in to say how happy I
am to see that for the fi rst time in a
long time, the Mustang footbal
team is winning. Congratulations
to all of them who have worked so
hard.
Sincerely yours,
Lena A. Ivey
Dogs
Dear Editor,
My concern is dogs not being
fenced Someone is going to get
bitten, many people hav already
been attacked by these dogs.
Dogs should also have tags in
case they became lost, so they
can be returned to their owners
not to the dog pound where there
are already so any animals with-
out homes.
Dogs should also have rabies
shots for our protection. I think
the law should be passed to force a
dog owner to keep his dog on his
own property.
Sincerely,
Connie Pruned*
Mustangs
Dear Editor,
The Ingleside Mustangs top-
ping the scoreboard this year.
They have won four games and
have tied one. We all have a good
feeling that they’ll win district.
We all hope that the Mustangs
keep up the good work and go on
to win state. They could not have
gotten this far without the help of
the Ingleside High School
where he is will help me make
contact with him.
We hope to set up a reunion in
conjunction with the Patrol Craft
Sailors Associations Fourth
Annual Reunion in April of 1991
in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Anyone with information may
call or write to me. The address is
William C (Bill) Smiley, 1417

Thank You
Dear Mr. Richards,
On behalf of the Texas Adopt-
A-Beach program, I want to thank
the volunteers, adopting groups
and contributors that made our
“5th Annual Texas Coastal
Cleanup” our most successful
cleanup to date. There were
15,822 volunteers who removed
over 233 tons of debris. This
event was co-sponsored by the
Texas Adopt-A-Beach Program
and the Center for Marine Con-
servation.
A season with two disastrous oil
spills has served to heighten con-
cern for our coast. Most people
cannot do anything personally
about oil spills, so they are chan-
neling their concerns into some-
thing they can do, which is re-
moving trash from our beaches.
My special commendation goes
to our Adopt-A-Beach County
Coordinator for Aransas County,
John Washburn. He coordinated
122 volunteers and his efforts in
helping to promote the cleanup,
recruit volunteers, and organize
the work where outstanding.
Special recognition is due to
the following for their support
during this clean up; The Aransas
County 4-H Club and the Fulton
Beach Mansion.
Dupont-Conoco should be
commended for sponsoring a
plastic recycling project along the
Texas Coast from South Padre
Island to Beaumont, Texas. Each
of these areas will receive useful
items for coastal parks made from
the plastic collected during the
beach cleanup.
We want to thank Dow Chemic-
al for donating Texas Coastal
Cleanup pins to be distributed to
all clean up volunteers and Mobil
for donating 350,000 trash bags.
Your newspaper and the media
of Texas have also played a critic-
al role in making people aware of
our problems resulting from trash
thoughtlessly dropped in the Gulf
of Mexico or on the beach. We are
winning the war for cleaner water
and beaches and we appreciate
your help.
Thank you and remember;
“Don’t Mess with Texas Beaches”
Sincerely,
Garry Mauro
Texas Land Commissioner

Cities receive grant scores
By Juliet K. Wenger
Coastal Bend Council
of Governments
Robstown and Nueces County
were given the largest number of
points in scoring by the Regional
Review Committee among appli-
cants competing for Community
Development Block Grants in the
Coastal Bend. The applicants
ranked as the top six were Rob-
stown, Odem, Taft, Refugio
County, Fulton and Aransas Pass.
This does not mean that they
wlU get the grants. The Regional
Review Committee can give an
applicant up to 350 points. The
Texas Department of Commerce
can give an applicant up to that
same number. The total of two
rankings make up the final score.
It is usual for some applicants
who are in the money at the re-
gional level to fall below the
budget line at state and for others
who were below in region to move
up into winning positions.
If the regional ratings were to
stand, and it is almost assured
that they will not in exact posi-
tion , the top five applicants would
receive the full amount of their
requests. The sixth, Aransas
Pass, would receive £284,000 out
of a request for £299,050 as that
would be all that remained in the
allocation.
The Regional Review Commit-
tee had established priorities in
types of projects in advance.
These priorities gave 100 points
to any application that would pay
for water and sanitary sewer im-
provements. All of the winning
applicants fell into one of those
categories. Points were also given
on a subjective' basil for ’the
merits of the project and the
amount of local effort expended
by the local government to meet
its own needs.
Eleven of the 12 members of
the Regional Review Committee
were present at a meeting where
applicants made 15-minute pre-
sentations on their projects.
Beeville City Councilman George
Harris presided. Robstown was
the last presentation heard. A de-
legation headed by Mayor Julio
Garcia and City Secretary
Richard Rodriguez were there to
support their applicaton. Attend-
ing from the Texas Department of
Commerce were Ruth Cedillo,
program director, and Richard
Dorsey, area representative.
The state grades the applica-
tions on a basis of computer data
with such criteria as poverty
level, unemployment, and other
statistical characteristics of the
local community. The State Re-
view Committee meets in mid-
December. Scores probably will
be known earlier, but at least by
that time.
To eliminate ties, which have
occurred in previous years, the
Regional Review Committee
scored to the third decimal point.
Applicants, listed according to
their positon 1 through 17 and
with their total regional scores
are as follows;
Robstown 333.11; Odem
330.95; Taft 324.16; Refugio
County (for Tivoli) 320.38; Ful-
ton 319.00; Aransas Pass 303.38;
Bishop 298.17; Ingleside 297.43;
George West 291.63; Driscoll
289.72; Mathis 284.55; Beeville
278.25; Gregory 273.91; Be-
navides 273.67; McMullen Coun-
ty 266.27; Three Rivers 263.58;
and Alice 247.34.
