course. The popular water park is now closed for the season. This was the park’s 10th season. The season before, a
total of 176,177 visitors came to the waterpark, an all-time high, and it took in a record-setting $3.7 million. This year’s
numbers have yet to be tallied. Calypso Cove is also closing for the fall. Both will open up again next May.

Contractors for the potentially responsible
parties have started phase 2 fieldwork out at
the San Jacinto River Waste Pits, which is ex-
pected to take about eight to 10 weeks.
Remedial Project Manager Gary Baumgar-
ten said that contractors started mobilizing
equipment to conduct pre-design investiga-
tion fieldwork. The work itself will begin in
the coming.
This activity at the waste pits will also be an
item of discussion at the next San Jacinto Riv-
er Coalition meeting Tuesday, starting at 6:30
p.m. at the Highlands Community Center, 604

FREEPORT, Bahamas— Hur-
ricane Dorian unleashed massive
flooding across the Bahamas on
Monday, pummeling the islands
with so much wind and water that
authorities urged people to find
floatation devices and grab ham-
mers to break out of their attics if
necessary.
The fearsome Category 4 storm
slowed almost to a standstill as it
shredded roofs, hurled cars and
forced even rescue crews to take
shelter until the onslaught passed.
Officials said they received a
“tremendous” number of calls from
people in flooded homes. A radio
station received more than 2,000
distress messages, including reports
of a 5-month-old baby stranded on
a roof and a grandmother with six
grandchildren who cut a hole in a
roof to escape rising floodwaters.
Other reports involved a group

In a move to reach out to
Hispanic elderly folks, Pct.
3 Constable Sherman Ea-
gleton’s office is expanding
its free RUOK program to
help Spanish-speaking or
bilingual seniors.
The Hispanic-version
of the program is called
CASA. It stands for
“Cuidando Ancianos con
Seguridad y Asistencia.”
“That means ‘taking care
of the seniors in need,”’ Re-
becca Gonzales, CASA co-
ordinator. “This is a senior
program.”
Gonzales explained how
Eagleton came up with the
idea to implement a His-
panic-version of the RUOK
program.
“Constable Eagleton has
a heart for the communi-
ty,” Gonzales said. “He
had started the RUOK Pro-
grams, and then he thought
about the Hispanic commu-
nity. So, he wanted to ex-
pand this to them.”
Gonzales said the pro-
gram had previously only
been available in English,
but now the constable’s
office wants to extend
it to Hispanic or bilin-
gual-speaking people.
“It is the same service,
just in Spanish,” Gonzales
said.
Gonzales said the CASA
program works just like the
RUOK program. Seniors
need to register for the pro-
gram first.
“I’ll get the application
out, and we can do it over
the phone,” Gonzales said.
Gonzales said either the
senior themselves could
call or have a family mem-
ber contact her. In addition,
Gonzales said she will need
the contact information of
another family member as
