One can enjoy the Colorado River
by adopting a section to keep clean
If you want to spend time enjoy-
ing the Colorado River while
helping to keep it clean, you may
soon be able to join’in “adopting”
a section of the river.
The Adopt-The-Colorado River
Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit
group sponsored by the Lower
Colorado River Authority, is gear-
ing up its adoption program by
holding outings with five cities in
June.
The outings, scheduled for June
6 in Smithville and June 13 in
Bastrop, La Grange, Columbus
and Wharton, will include river
assessments and water-quality
sampling as well as trash
cleanup. *
The outings will be the first of-
ficial activities held by the new
foundation, whose efforts are
similar to the state’s successful
Adopt-A-Highway anti-litter
campaign.
- In Smithville an outing will be
held on June 6 from 9 a.m, until
noon at the Smithville VFW.
Bastrop has one scheduled
June 13 from 9 a.m. to noon at the
Fisherman’s Park.
“We see this program as a way
to let people rediscover and ap-
preciate the river, while convinc-
ing people not to litter,” said Joe
Kendall, the foundation’s ex-
ecutive director.
The program is currently in a
one-year pilot stage to gain ex-
perience and financing for a full-
scale operation. While the LCRA
is sponsoring the initial work,
plans call for the foundation to ob-
tain corporate sponsors as it ex-
pands along the Colorado. Even-
tually, the concept could be ex-
panded to other rivers, according
to Kendall.
Adopt-The-Colorado will com-
plement the LCRA’s Colorado
River TYail program, aimed at at-
tracting people to the river and to
the nearby communities. The
trail is a corridor following the
river from San Saba County to the
Gulf Coast.
The idea for Adopt-The-
Colorado came from Kendall,
who was hired under contract by
the LCRA earlier this year to put
together the program and set up
the foundation. The LCRA has
provided seed money for the
program.
In the pilot effort, Kendall has
been working with Bastrop,
Smithville, La Grange, Columbus
and Wharton to organize initial
outings. A representative from
each city has been appointed to
an advisory committee to the
foundation.
Committee members have
helped select the outing dates,
areas targeted for adoption,
potential local sponsors and
volunteers.
Plans call for volunteers at
each city to cover five to 10 target
areas along the river or at
highway crossings. Groups of five
volunteers will be assigned to
each area. Participants will get to
know and appreciate the adopted
areas, take water samples in con-
junction with the LCRA’s Col-
orado RiverWatch Network, pick
up any trash they find and note
any large items , they can’t
recover.
Project organizers hope to use
the experience of the early
outings to develop marketing and
education aids to expand the pro-
gram and make it financially in-
dependent. A second set of
.outings is tentatively planned for
the fall.
Bastrop Optimists honor Norman
By Bill Chess
Special to the Advertiser
During the May 11 dinner
meeting at LaFuente’s Main
Street restaurant, Optimists ap-
plauded Mike Norman of the
Bastrop P.D. and V.F.D. Norman
was awarded the club’s plaque
citing “outstanding contributions
to our children and the communi-
ty."
High school student and Oc-
tagon Club president Amos
Oellette presented the plaque. Oc-
tagon Club members are the
B.H.S. version of Optimists.
It was Respect for Law Week
for Optimist International and
here in Bastrop.
Officer Norman, as he’s known
to B.I.S.D. students and teachers,
has visited classrooms
throughout Bastrop for several
years to emphasize avoiding
drugs and alcohol, how to handle
an emergency and fire safety.
Norman’s most recent visits in-
cluded introductions to Bart, a
drug-finding canine partner.
The same night Optimists were
treated to a series of talks by
students from TRIAD, the
Bastrop school district’s gifted
and talented program, when in-
structor Betsy Carpenter proud-
ly turned the evening over to five
of her 59 students from the Mid-
dle School.
Chris Clark, Jennie Madera,
Megan Mclntire, Jennifer Reidy
and Lauren Schiff confidently
described the curriculum, how it
worlds, how they as students feel
about it, how they are affected by
it. Optimists present learned that
the program’s not just academic
but emphasizes leadership and;
cooperation and accepting each
other’s ideas, all in line with Op-
timist tenets.
Club members who spoke inj
dividually with the students wer
uniformly impressed with thei
maturity and awareness. Equa
ly impressive were their voca
tional plans--to be a
ophthalmologist, a marin
biologist, a writer. Even if thos
plans change, it seems safe to sa;
the gifts and talents won’t b
wasted and that we have fiv
more reasons to be BASTROP
