4 workers hurt in Texas A&M construction accident
COLLEGE STATION (AP)
— Four workers were hurt,
three critically, after a barn
frame collapsed Saturday at an
$80 million Texas A&M Uni-
versity equestrian complex
that’s under construction.
The collapse happened on
university property about a
mile from the main campus,
Texas A&M spokesman Lane
Stephenson said.
College Station and Bryan
fire departments, campus po-
lice and Texas A&M emergency
medical personnel all respond-
ed to the accident, which hap-
pened shortly before 11 am.
Saturday.
The accident involved an
approximately 300-foot barn,
according to the College Sta-
tion Fire Department. Twisted
metal beams could be seen at
the site, where ground was bro-
ken last fall.
The injured workers were
transported to hospitals. Then-
names and further details on
their conditions were not im-
mediately released. Nobody
ment. “After the structure was
secured a secondary search of
the area was conducted to en-
sure that all patients had been
located.”
Texas A&M police officials
were trying to determine what
caused the collapse. University
police did not immediately re-
turn messages Saturday after-
noon.
Conditions at the time were
cloudy with temperatures in
the mid-80s and winds gusting
just above 10 mph, the National
Weather Service said.
The first phase of the eques-
trian center was set for comple-
tion in 2014. The facility will in-
clude locker rooms, offices, a
concessions building, a 50-stall
bam, plus practice arenas and
two covered competition are-
nas, according to the university.

else was hurt.
For a time, emergency re-
sponders had to halt the search
for the four because of con-
cerns about another collapse.
“After that time search and
rescue efforts were suspended
until the remainder of the
structure that was still stand-
ing could be stabilized,” accord-
ing to a statement from the

Rare nature found in Davis Mountains
By Betsy Blaney
Associated Press
LUBBOCK — Researchers
are looking into whether two rare
nature sightings in West Texas —
including a butterfly spotted in
the U.S. for the first time — could
indicate other hidden popula-
tions in the remote Davis Moun-
tains devastated in 2011 by mas-
sive wildfires.
A climate researcher found a
spotless comma butterfly in late
May about 1,000 miles away
from its normal range near Mex-
ico City. Another spotter found
two nests of long-eared owls — a
species seen in Texas but not
known to nest there.
Experts aren’t sure whether
changing climate or other factors
prompted the butterfly and the
owls to find refuge in the state’s
Trans Pecos region. But it’s pos-
sible the owls are longtime resi-
dents to the mountains — dis-
covered only because wildfires
spanning thousands of acres
thinned out foliage that kept the
birds under cover.
“The Davis Mountains are
just a special place,” said Rich
Kostecke, associate science direc-
tor for the Nature Conservancy
of Texas. “When you protect the
habitats you just provide that op-
portunity, certainly maintain the
rare species. This may be a place
new species show up because of
the habitat.”
The North American Butter-
fly Association confirmed a spot-

Former President Bush
returning to Africa
Former President George W.
Bush will return to Africa next
week to help renovate another
women’s clinic.
Bush’s office in Dallas on Sat-
urday announced the 43rd presi-
dent and his wife, Laura, will
travel to Livingstone, Zambia, in
support of the George W. Bush
Institute global health initiative.
The Bushes last July helped
renovate a women’s health center
in Kabwe, about 90 miles north
of the Zambian capital, Lusaka
Officials say that center has
screened and treated nearly
30,000 women since opening
last summer.
The clinic in livingstone is
scheduled to open July 1
Following their trip to Zam-

Company drops plans for
coal-fired power plant
A company has dropped
plans to build a coal-fired power
plant in West Texas.
Omaha-based Tenaska says it
will focus on the development of
natural gas-fueled and renew-
able facilities.
The company had been pur-
suing plans for the plant near
Sweetwater and one in Taylor-
ville, 111., for more than five years.
— The Associated Press
less comma had been seen in late
May by West Texas climate re-
searcher Cathryn Hoyt
Hoyt who directs studies at
the Chihuahuan Desert Re-
search Institute at Fort Davis,
said she made the discovery
while studying pollinators of rare
plants in the mountains, about
200 miles southeast of El Paso.
She is not sure if there is an un-
known spotless comma popula-
tion in the region or if what she
saw was a lone butterfly blown
north from its usual range.
The top of the wings of the
butterfly, known in science cir-
cles as Polygorda haroldii, are
orange and the underside is a
darker brown.
“So how it got up here we
don’t know,” she said, adding that
the climate in the two spots is
similar.
The owls were recently found
in nests by researchers working
within the 30,000-acre Nature
Conservancy of Texas preserve.
As many as four chicks were
found in one nest and two were
found in the other, Kostecke said.
While the species’ population
is not imperiled, Kostecke said
the discovery is significant be-
cause the crow-sized owls usually
leave Texas by the winter or
spring to nest in the Northern
Plains, Dakotas, Rocky Moun-
tains and Canada.
Kostecke said a conservancy
member spotted them while do-
ing bird surveys to monitor the
Caring For
Your Eyes
by Dr. Mark S. Ragsdale
Therapeutic Optometrist
DON’T LET A
MOMENT SLIP!
If you’re an active person, you
want eyeglasses that can keep up with
your energetic lifestyle. Mothers chas-
ing toddlers around playgrounds need
glasses that will not slip whether they
are riding on a swing, going down a
slide, or making their way around the
jungle gym. The same might be said
of fishing enthusiasts, horseback rid-
ers, tennis players, hikers, or anyone
else accustomed to focusing all of his
or her attention on the task at hand.
Few things are more annoying than
(sun)glasses that must be constantly
adjusted as they slip down perspiring
faces. Fortunately, there is a foolproof
way to deal with this problem. Glasses
with “riding” or “cable bow” temples
curve in a semi-circle to hug the ear.
Eyeglass frames must fit properly
on the bridge of your nose and stay
in place whether you are looking up,
down, or sideways. At RAGSDALE
VISION CENTER, we carry the lat-
est designer frames and a variety of
temple styles and lengths to suit both
active and not-so-active lifestyles. We
also carry athletic, occupational, and
computer eyewear. Whether or not
you experience vision problems, it is
important to have routine eye exams
because the symptoms of many vision
diseases can go unnoticed. Please call
us at 387-9595 to schedule an appoint-
ment. We’re located at 526 N. Locust.
Hours are Mon. - Fri. 8:30-5:30 and
Sat. 9-12.
P.S. One of the most important
aspects of a proper eyeglass fitting is
selecting a temple (the long portion
that supports the frame on the ears,
otherwise known as the “earpiece”) of
the correct overall size.
effects of the ongoing drought
and large wildfires near Fort Da-
vis two years ago.
The owls, known scientifically
as Asia otus, could have been
there for years and become more
visible as the fire thinned out fo-
liage on tree branches, Kostecke
said.
“You might see them in the
winter and you get into the
spring and they disappear,” Kos-
tecke said. “The potential excit-
ing aspect ofthis, if conditions re-
main good, we could actually
have a population breeding in
Texas, which would be fairly
noteworthy’’
