AREA RESIDENTS INVITED TO
VIEW DOG AGILITY COMPETITION
IN KERRVILLE
As seen on Animal Planet and ESPN, those agile canines will
return to Kerrville for the fourth year. Hill Country area residents are
invited to watch the dogs running, jumping and weaving through an
obstacle course. The competition will be held on February 20-21,
1999 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m: at the Hill Country Youth Exhibition
Center on Texas Highway 27. Spectators are invited and admission
is free.
Because it is one of the regional events in the GRAND PRIX OF
DOG ABILITY sponsored by the United States Dog Aigility
Association, this year's event will attract more than 150 dogs and
their handlers as competitors from all parts of Texas. Dogs and
their handlers will vie for an opportunity to qualify for the USDAA
National Finals to be conducted in July in Ohio. Last year's National
Finals were filmed by and shown on the Animal Planet television
station.
Dog agility is a fast-paced sport that involves a dog running under
the direction of his handler through a timed course consisting of a
sequence of obstacles. The judge of the competition designs the
pattern of the placement of the obstacles. These obstacles consist
of jumps, a seesaw, and A-frame, tunnels, a long elevated dog-walk
and weave polls. The pattern in which the obstacles are placed is
kept secret until the day of the competition. The dogs' handlers are
allowed a brief period before the event to "walk" the course and plan
their handling strategies.
While the dog is running the course off-leash, the handler runs with
the dog and directs it with voice and/or hand signals. The handler
may not touch the dog or any obstacles in the ring.
The Bexar Regional Agility Team from San Antonio and the Travis
Agility Group from Austin will host the event in two rings running
simultaneously.
The concession stand will be open both days, and concession
proceeds benefit the Ingram FFA.

What Can We Do About Gangs?
By John Cornyn, Attorney General of Texas
The Juvenile Crime Intervention
division of the Office of the Attorney
General travels throughout the state
talking to parents, teachers and law
enforcement officials about the
dangers of gangs in their communi-
ties. By offering these information
sessions, we hope to not only prevent
any more of our youth from joining
gangs, but also to stem the growth of
these organizations. The following
are questions that staff members are
commonly asked at these training
sessions.
Q: / am worried about my kid
getting involved in gangs. How can
I tell? And what can I do?
A: There are many indicators of
gang activity, such as a change in type
of clothes, tattoos and changes in
activities and attitudes. However, the
best way to find out if your child is
involved in a gang is by asking.
Many children become involved in
gangs to find a sense of family or
belonging. Having a strong, open
relationship with your child can be
one of the best ways to prevent gang
involvement.
If you are concerned about your
child’s possible gang involvement,
talk to his or her teachers, school
administrators and, most importantly,
your child. In addition, the Juvenile
Crime Intervention Division of the
Office of the Attorney General offers
a gang awareness training session to
teach parents and educators to
recognize and deal with gang activity.
Q: My kid wants to wear certain
kinds of baggy pants and sports
jackets and things like that. I think
it makes him look like he is in a
gang. Should I let him do this? We
fight about it all the time. Am I
being too strict?
A: Absolutely not. Even if your
child is not in a gang, giving the
appearance of a membership in a
gang can be dangerous. As a parent,
it’s important for you to communicate
to your kids that gangs have been
known to wear baggy clothing or use
the logos or numbers of commercial
sportswear to promote their gang.

Some indicators of gang
membership may include pagers,
bandanas, truancy, poor school
performance, unexplained income,
or frequent contact with the police.
Children in gangs may wear clothing
could be dangerous.
Please keep in mind that baggy
clothing or team sportswear alone
does not represent gang affiliation.
In terms of "gang-style" clothing, pay
close attention to the color of the
clothing, the way it’s worn, or how
it’s manipulated on the body - that
could be what gives the gang a clue,
rather than the article of clothing
itself.

staff members hold a gang awareness
training session in your community,
