First whitewing weekend
brings fair hunting results
The first whitewing hunting
weekend of the 1994 season
brought about fairly positive results
in Starr County, especially for
mourning doves.
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department Game Warden Michael
Morse said, "The hunting went
pretty good. A few more mourning
doves were harvested than in recent
years. The whitewings weren't as
plentiful as in the past, leaving
some hunters disappointed...Some
whitewing hunters had good
results."
Morse indicated, "There were
about the same amount of
out-of-town hunters that we had
counted on. We had a lot of local
hunters participate in the whitewing
hunting."
The game warden noted, "The
little rain we had earlier in the week
may have hurt the hunting a little
bit. It might have affected their
normal feeding patterns."
Morse predicted, "We c n
probably expect the same number
of birds this weekend as last
weekend, unless there's a radical
change in the weather."
Morse indicated that hunters fared
well this past weekend as far as
abiding by safety procedures and
hunting regulations were concerned.
He said, "For the most part, hunters
were trying to stay within the rules.
Most of the violations concerned
bag limits of mourning doves.
Hunters need to be aware of their
bag limits."
Morse stressed that hunters need
to be extremely careful in using
their shotguns and be aware of their
line of Fire.
Morse noted, "There will be extra
wardens in the county this next
weekend, as many as last weekend."
During the Labor Day weekend,
there were six additional TPW game
wardens on duty in Starr County, in
addition to the two regularly
stationed locally.
Hunting will take place from
noon to sunset on both Saturday
and Sunday. As was the case last
weekend, the Starr County hunting
zone will be located south of a line
extending westward from the
intersection of U.S. Highway 83
and FM 755 in Rio Grande City all
the way to FM 2098 near Falcon
Heights.
Prior to the first weekend, Morse
noted, "All of northern Starr
County is open to whitewing
hunting all the way to FM 1017. In
Starr County this is true north of
U.S. 83 to FM 1017." This
situation will also hold true the
second hunting weekend.
Hunters will need to use a
plugged shotgun that holds NO
MORE than THREE shells.
The total number of whitewings
and mourning doves killed must not
exceed 10. Hunters can shoot up to
Five mourning doves, but MUST
NOT exceed that limit. The
aggregate limit of 10 birds could
conceivably all be whitewing
doves. There must be one fully
feathered wing on every bird killed.
Hunters will also have to
purchase a valid hunting license
every year, along with a whitewing
stamp.
RGCCISD to observe
5-a-Day Week
As the nation celebrates the
second annual National 5-A-DAY
Week on Sept. 11-17, the Rio
Grande City CISD will join in the
festivities by urging all students,
faculty and administrators to eat
5-A-Day -- for better health.
The 5-A-Day program encourage',
the consumption of five (or more)
servings of fruits and vegetables
daily to reduce the risk of cancer and
other chronic diseases. The Produce
for Better Health Foundation (PBH)
and the National Cancer Institute
(NCI) have joined forces to increase
the average consumption of fruits
and vegetables from 3.5 servings
per day to 5 servings every day by
the year 2000.
"The Rio Grande City strongly
supports this proactive nutrition
education campaign. It encourages
healthier eating to prevent cancer
and improve one's health. To
students, it is particularly important
to teach the irr oortance of fruits and
vegetables in eir die >w so they
can begin pra cing thy eating
habits both at home ;id at school,"
stated Ruben Saenz, Superintendent
of Schools.
All of the elementary schools in
the RGCCISD will join other
school districts across the state with
special activities and events
designed to create awareness of the
5-A-Day program.
Two special events for children
will be a coloring and drawing
contest sponsored by Wal-Mart who
will award the prizes. Tasting
parties for the students will feature
fresh fruits and vegetables on
