You can type, TakeCareOfTexas.org in your computer or smart phone brows- er and the website will pop up. The Take Care of Texas Pledge is not just for water, but for the air we breathe, energy conservation, reducing waste and saving ourselves some money in the process. The website starts off with country music artist Cody Johnson sharing his music and his thoughts on a short commercial for taking care of the only Texas we have! After you watch the commercial, you can scroll down the page and see the “Take the Pledge” section, and simply click on the “Pledge” icon. It asks for your name, address and email. In return, you receive a free Texas Parks and Wildlife State Park Guide, along with a free Texas shaped sticker. I will be checking the mail daily in anticipation of my free guide and sticker.

The family eventually moved from Arkansas to as the mild weather, flat lands, and relative lack of forests had made it an enviable envi- ronment for pilots. In 1915, the family leased 360 acres from the City of San Antonio and established an air field on what was then the city’s southern out- skirts. It was at this air field that they honed their skills, along with other early aspiring pilots. Over the years, the air field expanded and modernized, briefly serving as an Army Air Force training field during World War II. Now known as Stinson Municipal Airport, it is the second oldest continuous- ly operating airport in the .

• Avoid high-energy activities. • Check yourself, family members, and neighbors for signs of heat-relat- ed illness.

Recognize and respond - Know the signs of heat-related illness and the ways to respond to it: • Heat cramps: Signs: Muscle pains or spasms in the stomach, arms or legs Actions: Go to a cooler location. Remove excess clothing. Take sips of cool sports drinks with salt and sugar. Get medical help if cramps last more than an hour. • Heat exhaustion: Extreme heat often results in the highest number of annual deaths among Signs: Heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, all weather-related hazards. In most of the United States, extreme heat is dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting, or fainting. defined as a long period (two to three days) of high heat and humidity with Actions: Go to an air-conditioned place and lie down.

Actions: Call 911 or get the person to a hospital immediately. Cool down with whatever methods are available until medical help arrives. If you are under an extreme heat warning: • Find air conditioning. • Avoid strenuous activities. • Watch for heat illness. • Wear light clothing. • Check on family members and neighbors. • Drink plenty of fluids. • Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. • Never leave people or pets in a closed car.

How to stay safe when extreme heat threatens: prepare now. Find places in your community where you can go to get cool.

Keep your home cool by doing the following: • Cover windows with drapes or shades. • Weather-strip doors and windows. • Use window reflectors, such as aluminum foil-covered cardboard, to reflect heat back outside. • Add insulation to keep the heat out. • Use attic fans to clear hot air. • Install window air conditioners and insulate around them. • Learn to recognize the signs of heat-related illness.

Be safe during the extreme heat event: • Never leave a child, adult or animal alone inside a vehicle on a warm day. • Find places with air conditioning. Libraries, shopping malls, and com- munity centers can provide a cool place to take a break from the heat. • If you’re outside, find shade. Wear a hat wide enough to protect your face. • Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. • Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. If you or someone you care for is on a special diet, ask a doctor how best to accommodate it. • Do not use electric fans when the temperature outside is more than 95 degrees, as this could increase the risk of heat-related illness. Fans create air flow and a false sense of comfort, but do not reduce body temperature. Suburban Newspapers, Inc.
