UHV to open residence

University of Houston-Victoria
administrators have decided to
slow the process of constructing
the universitys fourth residence
hall and hope that the end result
will be a new student center and
recreation center also opening in
fall 2017.
Were going to take our time,

UHV Interim President Vic Morgan said. By doing this, we think

we can provide additional benefits
for our students.
The university had announced
in March that it would partner with
Balfour Beatty Campus Solutions,
a developer and operator of infrastructure projects for universities,

to construct a $20 million residence hall opening in fall 2016 for

sophomores and upperclassmen.
The tight timeline and some
changes in the bidding process
caused administrators to re-evaluate the project and decide to rebid it. The residence hall now will

After high rainfall events in the months of March, April and May
increased flows to the level where the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority Calhoun County Canal crews were able to break up and clear
out log jams on the Guadalupe River, GBRA officials are reaching
out to local landowners and federal official in an
effort to devise
short- and longterm plans for
dealing with this
recurring problem.
The immediate concern is

River primarily
in Refugio and Victoria counties, explained Bill West, Jr., GBRAs
general manager, adding, Funding for log jams has been a problem,
but I believe we are finding ways to tackle that issue.
On April 29, GBRA officials briefed area constituents about recent log jam work on the Guadalupe River and explained some of
the permitting and funding challenges that are faced in working log
jams. That meeting resulted in GBRA officials pledging to develop
partnerships with local, state and federal entities as well as private
landowners to tackle the jam on the San Antonio River. Funding
partners that GBRA is contacting include the San Antonio River Authority, Union Pacific Railroad, area county officials, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). As a GBRA board representative, I am concerned

May was the wettest month ever in Texas

If you think it has rained a lot in
the last few weeks in Texas, your
hunch is correct. Figures from the
Office of the State Climatologist at
Texas A&M University show that
the month of May has been the
wettest month ever in the states

history, averaging 7.54 inches,

besting the previous record of 6.66
inches in June of 2004.
Many parts of the state have set
records for the most rainfall ever,
says John Nielsen-Gammon, professor of atmospheric sciences

who also has served as State Climatologist since 2000.

He says the reason is a combination of factors: an active El Nio
in the Pacific Ocean which tends
to bring the jet stream over Texas,
a steady flow of moist air from the
south that becomes unstable when
it undercuts the jet stream, and a
stubborn weather pattern that just
wont go away.
It has been one continuous
storm after another for the past
week to 10 days in several regions
of the state. It has rained so much
that the ground just cant soak any
more moisture into it, and many
creeks and rivers are above flood
stage.

The good news: Nielsen-Gammon says the stubborn pattern

should begin to change in a few
days, and after this weekend, we
should enter a period of more normal conditions. Spring is usually
wet, but not this wet.
The states wettest area has been
from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to
the Red River, parts of which have
received more than 20 inches of
rain this month.
The Houston area was not hit
that hard until the past few days,
but then heavy rains came in
waves and areas around Sugarland
have received more than 17.50
inches of rain. The area around
San Marcos has received heavy

flooding, with more than 18 inches

of rain this month, Nielsen-Gammon adds.
All of that rain means many
lakes and reservoirs are close to
capacity.
Lakes near Wichita Falls have
gone from just 20 percent capacity
to 100 percent in the last month,
he adds.
Still, parts of Texas remain abnormally dry, such as areas from
near Abilene to San Angelo.
About 15 percent of Texas was
still in drought as of last week, he
adds, but at this rate it wont be
long before even the driest parts of
the state are drought-free.

The University of Houston-Victoria is one step closer to offering

its own bachelors nursing degree
again after the UHV School of
Nursing transfers to UH in the fall.
The UH System Board of Regents gave approval at its meeting
on Thursday for UHV to offer its
own Registered Nurse to Bachelor
of Science in Nursing program in
Victoria and online beginning this
fall. The UH System will now request that the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board grant
approval. This is the final step in

the approval process.

This is good news for Victoria
and the surrounding rural communities because we expect to start a
new UHV RN to BSN program as
soon as the UHV School of Nursing transfers to UH, UHV Interim
President Vic Morgan said.
A director and faculty members
for the UHV RN to BSN program
will be hired before the start of the

Crime prevention tips in creating property inventories

owner.
A simple inventory form is
available for download at the Victoria Police Departments website.
Inventory forms and Operation ID
stickers are also available at the

Inventory your home belongings. Contributed art.

by Officer John Turner

Two months ago we addressed

physically securing our valuables
in our homes and vehicles. Unfortunately there are times in which
we simply forget, so we need to
make sure we have other means in
place to insure our security.
In many cases this can be as
simple as creating an inventory of
our valuables.
A good beginning to your inventory would include jewelry,
electronics, tools and firearms.
Of course, you can add any other
valuables you choose.
Your inventory should have a
detailed description of the items
including, at a minimum, the brand
name, model number, serial number and value. Any unique characteristics, such as damage that
would distinguish it from another
similar item, are also important.
The more detailed the description
you provide, the better off you are.

Along with a description, photos

or videos of your belongings are
also extremely useful, especially
with jewelry.
Another recommendation is to
engrave or use a permanent marker to apply a personal identifier to
your valuables. An example would
be your driver license number.
This number would directly relate
the item to you.
Several options exist for recording your inventory: a spreadsheet
computer program, a tablet or cell
phone app or simply, pen and paper. How you record your inventory is up to you, just remember to
keep a copy of it in a safe location.
If any of your belongings are
stolen during a burglary or theft, or
damaged in a fire or other disaster,
your inventory will come in handy
when giving a description to the
investigating officer or your insurance company. When emotions
are high after a traumatic event,
its much easier for you to refer to

your inventory than to try to recall

everything from memory.
Having all of your items inventoried and marked with a unique
number also makes it much easier
for stolen items that have been

The history of Fathers Day

by Revista staff

Fathers Day has been celebrated in the United States since the

early 1900s, but historians believe

the tradition of honoring fathers
began 4,000 years ago. It has been
recorded that a Babylonian youth

Sonora Dodd, credited for holiday. Contributed photo.

named Elmesu carved a Fathers

Day message on a clay card. Elmesu wished his father a long and
healthy life.
When it comes to the history of
Fathers Day in the U.S., Sonora
Louise Smart Dodd of Spokane,
Washington, is generally credited with originating the holiday.
Dodds father was William Smart,
a Civil War veteran who raised six
young children on his own after
his wife died due to complications
from childbirth.
In the year 1909, after listening
to a sermon announcing the newly
recognized observance of Mothers Day, Dodd decided she wanted a day to celebrate and honor
her own father. Dodd approached
the Spokane Ministerial Alliance
to ask for a church service dedi-

cated to fathers. Dodd wanted

this church service to take place
on June 5, her fathers birthday,
but the date was too soon for the
church to prepare for the service,
and June 19 was selected instead.
The first celebration of Fathers
Day was held in Spokane in 1910.
After this initial observance, the
state of Washington celebrated Fathers Day on the third Sunday in
June.
Various states began to lobby
Congress to declare Fathers
Day as an annual event. President Woodrow Wilson approved
the idea in 1916, but it wasnt
until 1924 that President Calvin
Coolidge made it a national event.
Coolidge wanted Fathers Day to
establish more intimate relations
between fathers and their children

and to impress upon fathers the

full measure of their obligations.
In 1966 President Lyndon Johnson issued a Proclamation that Fathers Day be observed on the third
Sunday in June, and President
Richard Nixon made the proclamation permanent in 1972.
According to data published
by the United States Census Bureau, there are 70.1 million fathers
across the nation. The Bureau also
published a report that showed the
number of stay-at-home dads was
214,000 in 2013. Also, the number
of single fathers was 2.0 million in
2013, down from 2.6 million in
2006. The number of fathers who
are part of married-couple families
with children younger than 18 is
24.7 million.

that our constituents receive assistance with these persistent log
jams both now and in the future,
Dennis Patillo, GBRA Board of
Director for Victoria County said.
I recognize the myriad of challenges that GBRA staff faces in
trying to provide that assistance,
but I am confident we will resolve
the log jam problems through
teamwork both out in the field and
in the office.
GBRA has sought out and already received a $150,000 grant
from the USFWS to go along with
$50,000 GBRA had budgeted for
log jams this year. Additional
commitments are needed to cover
the remaining cost of the project,
which is estimated to be about
$750,000. West said, A partnership among interested parties can
serve as the catalyst to remove the
San Antonio River log jam this
summer, after necessary permits
have been acquired from the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
The long-term initiative requires
support from a higher level. Congressman Blake Farenthold (RTX, Dist. 27) offered to assist.
GBRA officials have requested
the Congressmans assistance in
working with the USACE to ensure long-term log-jam maintenance on the Guadalupe and San
Antonio rivers. Congressman Farenthold said, Out of a deep concern for the landowners unable to
use their fields due to the flooding,

GBRA board member Dennis Patillo. Contributed photo.

I have offered toassist the GBRA

and USACE in coming up with a
mutual agreement that will resolve
the issue and provide the needed
relief for those affected by the log
jams.In addition to assisting in a
long-term resolution for the Lower
Basin log jam issue, Congressman
Farenthold is engaged in discussions about a delta study to be
conducted by the U. S. Geological
Survey (USGS).
In March, GBRA cleared the
first set of log jams in the horseshoe area of the Guadalupe River
in Victoria and Calhoun counties. After breaking up those logs,
GBRAs Calhoun County Canal
crews floated those logs down to
the saltwater barrier and cleared
them. The second rainfall rise on
the river occurred around April 22,
and crews began clearing a jam
upstream of the horseshoe on the
Guadalupe and ferrying those logs
downstream to the saltwater barri-

er working well into the first week

of May.
Because of recent high rainfall events, more debris may float
downriver and potentially cause
additional log jams to occur,
GBRAs Lower Basin Manager
Bryan Serold said. However, another aerial survey of the river is
planned in the near future so crews
will have a more complete picture
of the overall log jam problem.
GBRA is committed to completing the immediate log jam obstructions, and more importantly,
working with partners to establish
long-term solutions to address the
log jams, West said.
The GBRA was established by
the Texas Legislature in 1933 as
a water conservation and reclamation district. GBRA provides stewardship for the water resources in
its 10-county statutory district,
which begins near the headwaters
of the Guadalupe and Blanco rivers, ends at San Antonio Bay, and
includes Kendall, Comal, Hays,
Caldwell, Guadalupe, Gonzales,
DeWitt, Victoria, Calhoun, and
Refugio counties.

Independence Day was a declaration against British rule

by Revista staff

Somewhere in the back of our

heads we know that July 4th has
some special significance. We
thought it would be interesting to
share some other interesting facts
about Independence Day.
In fact this is the day, in 1776,
when the original colonies declared their independence from
British rule. In a document entitled
the Unanimous Declaration of the
Thirteen united States of America, that was originally signed by
only John Hancock, the President

www.RevistaDeVictoriaTx.com

of Congress at the time, America

declared its independence from
Great Britain. The additional fiftyfive signatures that appear on the
Declaration of Independence were
added on August 2, 1776. This
bill was introduced to the American Congress on July 2, 1776 by
Henry Lee, and was passed by the
2nd Continental Congress and adopted into law two days later.
As early as 1777 this national
holiday took hold. Thirteen gun
salutes, to commemorate each of
the original colonies, picnics and
political speeches became the rule

of the day. The longest running

July 4th celebration is in Bristol,
Rhode Island, which began in
1785. Since that time music, fireworks and bar-b-q have become
the rule of the day.
As early as 1054 AD, July 4th
has held significance. It was then,

in China, that the Chinese, Arabs

and the Amerindians saw a super
nova in the sky. The remnants of
the Crab Nebula could be seen at
night as well as during the day for
several months after the explosion.
In American history, many
events coincided with this holiday for the significance of the date
such as the opening of the United
States Military Academy at WestPoint (1802), the announcement of
the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the
abolishment of slavery in the State
of New York (1827), and the opening of the Tuskegee Institute in
Alabama (1881). Lou Gehrig announced his retirement on this day
(1939). In addition, Leo Szilard
applied for a patent for the chain
reaction displayed in the Atomic
Bomb (1934), the first broadcast
of Radio Free Europe (1950), the
unveiling, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of the new forty-nine
star United States Flag. Alaska
had been allowed into the Union
earlier that year (1959).
One of the most widely known
facts surrounding July 4th is the
death, in 1826 of both John Adams

and Thomas Jefferson, fifty years

to the day after the signing of the
Declaration of Independence.
Most recently, the cornerstone
of the Freedom Tower at Ground
Zero was laid on July fourth, 2004.
The Freedom Tower is the creation
of architects that will commemorate the World Trade Center Towers that were destroyed on 9/11.
Many things to consider on the
upcoming 239th anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, as we spend the
day toasting America s birthday.
One of the most interesting tidbits
is a piece of music that has been
a mainstay of the Boston Pops
July 4th Concert, usually at the
Mall in Washington, D.C. The
1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky
is the highlight of the evening as
fireworks explode above the collective heads. This opus was actually written to commemorate
the Russians defeat of Napoleon.
America may be better served
with a rousing rendition of the Star
Spangled Banner, or God Bless
America, or even My Country, Tis
of Thee.

Canine flu spreading in Texas and how to curb the contagion

dogs include nasal and/or ocular
discharge, sneezing, fatigue, and
refusing food.
Is every dog at risk of infection?
All dogs, regardless of breed or
age, are susceptible to infection.

whether the vaccine is appropriate

for their dog.
Can canine influenza infect people?
There is no evidence that the virus can be transmitted from dogs

to humans.
For more information about canine influenza virus, visit https://
www.avma.org/KB/Resources/
Reference/Pages/Canine-Influenza-Backgrounder.aspx

How does it spread?

Canine influenza is spread from
dog to dog through the air, contaminated objects (kennel surfaces, food and water bowls, collars
and leashes), and people interacting with infected and uninfected
dogs. On surfaces, the virus is
alive and can infect dogs for up to
48 hours, on clothing for 24 hours,
and on hands for 12 hours.

What is canine influenza?

Canine influenza (CI), or dog
flu, is a highly contagious infection caused by an influenza A subtype H3N8 virus first discovered
in 2004.

Can veterinarians test for canine

influenza?
The most reliable and sensitive
method for confirmation is serologic testing. Antibodies to canine
influenza virus can appear in blood
as early as 7 days after symptoms
begin, and the virus may be identified in nasal or pharyngeal swabs
during the first 4 days of illness.

What are common symptoms of

the infection in dogs?
In the mild form, the most common sign is a cough that persists
for 2-3 weeks. However, some
dogs can develop signs of severe
pneumonia, such as a high-grade
fever (104F-106F) and faster
breathing. Other signs in infected

Any treatment options?

In May 2009, the USDA approved the first influenza vaccine
for dogs. Trials have shown that
it can significantly reduce the duration of illness, including the incidence and severity of damage
to the lungs. Dog owners should
consult with their vet to determine

Canine influenza or dog flu is very contagious. Contributed photo.

The Canine Influenza has been

spreading throughout the continental United States, including
Texas, so the American Veterinary
Medical Association(AVMA)has
some information and tips to help
dog owners better understand the
virus. What we need to keep in
mind is that humans can physically transmit the virus - which
can stay on our clothes for up to
24 hours- so it is important to be
careful about interacting with
any unknown dogs, says AVMA
spokesperson Dr. Aspros With
proper education, we can do our
best to minimize the spread.

UHV, from pg. 1

open in fall 2017, but the scope of

the project will not change, said
Wayne Beran, UHV vice president
for administration and finance.
This project will be the universitys largest residence hall once it
is built and truly will be a showcase, he said.
Administrators also hope that
the later opening date will create
additional opportunities to partner
with the developer of the residence
hall to also construct a student
center and recreation center.
In February, UHV students living within a 50-mile radius of Victoria voted to assess themselves a
fee for construction of a student
center, and approval of the fee is
currently in front of the Texas Legislature. Construction of a recreation center also would need to be
funded through student fees or donations rather than state funding.
We will be taking a look at how
all these facilities will fit together
to offer the best experience for our
students and meet our target of
having 6,000 students on the Victoria campus by 2025, Morgan
said.
The four-story, 111,000-squarefoot residence hall still will be
built on a vacant 2-acre lot on the
east side of Ben Wilson Street between Arlington Apartments and
the building housing Petroleum
College International and UHV
Athletics. The dorm will have 380
beds and two different suite plans,
each housing four students. Both
suite plans include a living area
and kitchenette with a refrigerator,
sink and microwave.
Demolition of both the Arlington Apartments and the Casa del
Rio Apartments next to them will
start around the beginning of July
and be completed this summer.
Additional amenities in the residence hall will include laundry facilities, a TV lounge, gaming area,
courtyard, classrooms and study
rooms. Every floor also will have a
full kitchen available for students.
UHV expects to rebid the residence hall project this summer and
will begin construction in early
spring of 2016, Beran said. The
residence hall will be financed
through a public/private partnership.
After the residence hall is constructed, UHVs existing three
dorms on the Houston Highway
will be used for freshman housing.

High energy campaign at the Boys & Girls Club of Victoria

30-year-old building is a bold
initiative for this High Energy

Were running out of room at

the Boys & Girls Club of Victoria! The Club is experiencing a
growth in numbers of school-aged
kids wanting to become members.
The place known as the Positive
Place for Kids that has served
thousands of kids ages 6 18 for
over 46 years here in Victoria, has
seen a gradual surge in memberships over the last two years and
now finds itself searching for room
to put them.
It is a good problem to have, but
not for the kids currently unable
to attend due to space issues. The
Club has put an indefinite hold on

with an upcoming campaign to
update the gymnasium and create
a teen center and weight facility,
Executive Director Marc A. Hinojosa, not only seeks to develop unused space but also attract a whole
new audience to the Boys & Girls
Club experience.
It has been a number of years
since high school teens have been
seen passing through the woodcarved doors of the local Club.
Since the days of the consolidation of Stroman and Victoria High
Schools to our current Titan and
Warrior following, the Club has
suffered from retaining a high
school following due mainly to demographics and a lack of teen at-

tractions. The proposed teen center and weight facility, currently in

the planning stages, will go a long
way in making this happen.
Funds are in place to supply air
conditioning to our gym and additional plans include placing a
modular flooring alternative that
will serve primarily basketball and
volleyball. The teen center, weight
facility and gym flooring plus the
added improvements associated
with the air conditioning system
have set a total goal of $200,000
to raise in the coming year; modest
to some organizations, yet monumental in the history of the Boys
& Girls Club of Victoria.

School is like having a

job and I thank God for my
health and the ability to be at
school every day, she said.
Sierra also graduated with
her cosmetology license and
passed the written and practical exams on her first attempt. She said that she is
going to be a licensed cosmetology instructor. My
parents have taught me that
it is their dream for me to
find success and to take my
dreams and turn them into
realty.
Gabriella said, I am going
to do everything that I can to
make my family proud. Her
instructor told her, Never
forget where you started
from. Those words have
helped me to always remember who I am and I promise
to stay that way for the best,
said Sierra.
