When you shoot at dove that are
resting on or flying over power
lines or telephone poles, you re
blindly disregarding the dangers of
irresponsible hunting
If a shot hits and break s a
power line or causes a transformer
to explode, a piece of electrical
equipment could fall and strike you
down Many preventable hunting
accidents occur every year due to
careless shooting
Such accidents can also leave
surrounding communities in
the dark While power lines,
transformers and other electrical
hardware are repairable, the cost
and inconvenience of these
damages must be passed along to
everyone who uses the electricity
That means you
This dove season remember to
hold your fire until the game is
clear of electrical equipment An
irresponsible hunter can in fact
become prey to his own
carelessness

problems tor the district, with the
additions at the elementary school
eliminating the overcrowding that
has plagued the school.
The middle schixil gets its own
gymnasium instead of using a non-
regulation elementary gym. and
that will allow the district to offer
a full physical education program
at the middle school. The assign-

counter
He also found some surprises in
the district's building program,
with lengthy delays and a couple of
substantial changes needed, such as
the redesign of both the kitchen and
the fieldhouse at the new high
school.
W hat has been better than ex-
pected? "I expected it to be good,
and sure enough it has been It's
been a lot of tun. a lot of challenge,
and a lot of opportunity for me and
for the district I hope we learned
a lot. things we can use in the years
that follow ”
He doesn't see a total change in
direction tor the district this past
year. |ust a direction somewhat
modified. "It's clearer more
streamlined ” That's particularly
true in curriculum and instruction
"It's a change in direction in the
sense that we're all working on
some fairly specific emphases
across the board. K- 12. It's clearer
in our minds, in the staffs and.
hopefully, for the public.”
First and foremost, he said, is
educating kids “We |ust have a
clearer statement of our mission
As tor this year. Howard wants
to focus on ways to integrate the
middle school and high school,
“where appropriate." This in
eludes sharing teachers and
facilities for the improvement ot
the programs ot both schools
The year ahead kxiks exciting.
Howard said “The elementary
campus is delighted to operate
without a major contractor in the
middle ot it. the middle schcxil w ill
be in a regular building and the
high sch<x>l is |ust wandering
around I'm l«x;kmg forward to it

middle school will give the pro-
gram continuity and the prepara-
tion needed at the lower levels for
later participation al the high
school level.
Howard, who has just completed
his first year with the school
district, said he is glad he came to
Lake Travis
"I came here believing this was a
district tull of folks interested in
education, and I've found nothing
to the contrary. You ask folks to
assist, and they serve on a commit
tee or go dig a hole for a play scape
at the elementary ."
T here were some unexpected oc-
currences. like finding a "very
bleak" financial picture “The tax
rate was based on the (property)
values, and those values disap-
peared " Howard had to find some
creative cuts in the budget to

students as ever before."
The district has been working
with the officials of the Texas
Department of Highways and
Public Transportation, and there
will be “No Parking" signs and
tow-away zones established, he
noted But the final answer may be
“Me standing on the hill and direc-
ting traffic."
It almost ux>k someone directing
traffic last week and this as the high
school moved out of its old
building and into the as- yet
uncompleted new building and the
middle sch<x>l moved from the por-
tables into its “new" facility, the
complex that formerly was the high
school.
Howard is optimistic that the
preparations for the opening of
school — and the opening of the
new school building — will go
smoothly. "The contractor has
been very understanding. He
knows we re in a bind, and he's
committed to getting it done "
He thinks teachers and students
will be "so pleased to be in their
new space, they 'll put up with in-
conveniences." Noting that a lot of
planning had gone into the transi-
tion. he added. "We won't allow
the finishing touches of the punch
list to interfere with instruction."

The 1988-89 school year in the
Lake Travis Independent Schixil
District (LTISD) is one of those
gtxxj news/bad news situations for
Supt. Walter Howard The good
news is that the almost continual
construction over the last several
years at one campus or another is
nearing completion
The bad news is that it's coming
right up to the wire as to whether
the work at the new high school
will be completed in time tor the
beginning of school Sept 1.
And the even worse news is the
problems created by the roadwork
on RR 620 “We are anticipating
the world's largest traffic jam on
Sept 1." Howard said, as 22
yellow school buses and some 250
cars of students, faculty and
employees for two campuses and
the administration building all try
to cross the construction and get to
school at the same time.
"It will stress our patience."
Howard understated He noted that
the new student parking lot at the
high school won t be finished, and
there are no protected left turn
lanes or lights to aid with traffic on
620 “It will be more severe than
we've ever experienced because
there will be twice as many
