Beach Safety 

Sun, Sand and Safety 

Every summer, people pack their bathing suits, sunscreen, flip flops and 

a good book for a trip to the beach. Or, perhaps where you live, you are 

fortunate to have beach weather for the greater part of the year. Regardless 

of how often you get to sink your toes into the sand, the American Red 

Cross has some beach safety tips and steps you can take to be make sure 

you and your family remain safe. 

OCEAN SAFETY 

Swimming in the ocean takes different skills, so before you get your feet 

wet, it’s best to learn how to swim in the surf. You should also swim only at 

a lifeguard-protected beach, within the designated swimming area. Obey 

all instructions and orders from lifeguards. 

While you’re enjoying the water, keep alert and check the local weather 

conditions. Make sure you swim sober and that you never swim alone. 

And even if you’re confident in your swimming skills, make sure you have 

enough energy to swim back to shore. 

Other beach safety tips to keep in mind: 

• Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guardapproved 

life jackets in and the around water. No one should use any 

other type of floatation device unless they are able to swim. 

• Don’t dive headfirst - protect your neck. Check for depth and obstructions 

before diving and go in feet first the first time. 

• Pay especially close attention to children and elderly persons when at 

the beach. Even in shallow water, wave action can cause a loss of footing. 

• Keep a lookout for aquatic life. Water plants and animals may be 

dangerous. Avoid patches of plants. Leave animals alone. 

RIP CURRENTS 

Rip currents are responsible for deaths on our nation’s beaches every year 

and for most of the rescues performed by lifeguards. Beachgoers should 

be aware of how dangerous rip currents are, and swim only at beaches 

with lifeguards in the designated swimming area. Rip currents can form 

in any large open water area, such as low spots and breaks in sandbars or 

near structures such as jetties and piers. 

For your safety, be aware of the danger of rip currents and remember the 

following: 

• If you are caught in a rip current, stay calm and don’t fight the current. 

• Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. Once you are 

free, turn and swim toward shore. 

• If you can’t swim to the shore, float or tread water until you are free of the 

rip current and then head toward shore. 

• If you feel you can’t make it to the shore, draw attention to yourself by 

waving and calling for help. 

• Stay at least 100 feet away from piers and jetties. Permanent rip currents 

often exist near these structures. 

• If someone is in trouble in the water, get help from a lifeguard. If a lifeguard 

is not available, have someone call 9-1-1. Throw the victim something that 

floats - a lifejacket, cooler, inflatable ball and yell instructions on how to 

escape the current. 

• When at the beach, check conditions before entering the water. Check to 

see if any warning flags are up or ask a lifeguard about water conditions, 

beach conditions or any potential hazards.

It’s National Camping Month! 

10 BEST PLACES TO CAMP IN TEXAS 

The charm of the Lone Star State comes from 

the fact that it’s a special blend of country and 

cosmopolitan. You can get a pretty good picture 

of Texas from the top of Reunion Tower in Dallas. 

But most Texans know that to really take in the 

Great State in all its rugged glory, all you need to 

do is grab a tent and head into the wilderness. 

Here are the 10 Best Places to Camp in Texas: 

RAY ROBERTS LAKE STATE PARK 

Ray Roberts Lake State Park is situated on a 

3,000-acre reservoir just north of the hustle and 

bustle of Dallas. Campers here are encouraged 

to hike miles of trails and primitive camping 

is available for the practiced adventurer. The 

highlight of the park, though, is the clean beach 

and easy lake access. Ray Roberts Lake is so big 

it can often feel like a seaside bay. Folks out here 

boat, ski, swim and fish away the stress of the 

city in style. The park is also home to multiple 

marathons throughout the year. 

LAKE BOB SANDLIN STATE PARK 

Campers of Northeast Texas know that it doesn’t 

get much more patriotic than spotting the 

majestic eagles during winter trips to Lake Bob 

Sandlin State Park. For the camper that is also an 

avid fisherman, Lake Bob Sandlin is a great spot 

for largemouth bass, spotted bass and bluegills. 

INKS LAKE STATE PARK 

Tucked away in the Texas Hill Country is Inks 

Lake State Park. Hill Country topography mixes 

with the pristine water of Inks Lake to create a 

perfect camping experience. On land, campers 

can backpack, geocache and bird-watch. And on 

water, campers can boat, ski, fish and even dive 

from the cliffs at the popular Devil’s Waterhole 

section of the lake. 

PALO DURO CANYON STATE PARK 

The Texas Panhandle is home to Palo Duro 

Canyon, “The Grand Canyon of Texas.” Campers 

here can hike, bike or horseback through the 

canyon and view the multicolored rocks, caves 

and hoodoos (rock towers). Palo Duro is also 

home to the Texas Outdoor Musical, which runs 

June through mid-August. 

CAPROCK CANYONS STATE PARK 

Campers flock to Palo Duro’s neighbor, 

Caprock Canyons State Park for both its 

awesome hiking and its magnificent wildlife– 

namely, the Official Bison Herd of the State 

of Texas. Over 10,000 acres are reserved for 

these bison that descended from a herd 

started by Charles Goodnight in 1878. The 

park is also known for its steep cliffs and 

drop-offs, which offer experienced hikers and 

mountain bikers a challenging adventure. 

DAVIS MOUNTAINS STATE PARK 

Out in West Texas, Davis Mountains State Park 

offers a definitively Texan experience. Here, 

campers are encouraged to bring their horses 

to camp. Horseback riding trails in the park rise 

up to 5,700 feet. Don’t fret if you happen to leave 

your trusted steed at home. Davis Mountains 

State Park also offers hiking, mountain biking, 

bird watching and stargazing tours. 

PADRE ISLAND NATIONAL SEASHORE 

Camping along the Gulf Coast on the Padre 

Island National Seashore is a completely unique 

experience. The sand and the sea provide ample 

opportunity for the beach-loving camper. Here, 

campers can watch newborn sea turtles take to 

the ocean for the first time, sea kayak below a 

pod of pelicans and fish for their dinner. 

COLORADO BEND STATE PARK 

Located an hour-and-half down to the west 

of Austin, Colorado Bend State Park is a go-to 

destination for adventurous Texas campers. The 

popular highlight of the park is Gorman Falls, 

a 65-foot waterfall that runs year-round in the 

park. But stick around a little longer and you’ll 

find several miles of swimming holes, hardcore 

mountain biking and wild cave tours that include 

rappelling. 

BIG THICKET NATIONAL PRESERVE 

Variety is key at Big Thicket National Preserve 

in Southeast Texas, where the journey is just as 

important as the destination. Very few roads 

lead into the park. Visitors at Big Thicket are 

encouraged to canoe, hike, bike or horseback 

into the primitive campsites spread throughout 

the 112,500 acres of land and water that cover 

seven counties inside the park. 

BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK 

Over in Far West Texas, running the span of 114 

miles down the Rio Grande, Big Bend National 

Park offers the best roadside and primitive 

camping in Texas. Experienced backpackers can 

take to the highest points, at nearly 8,000 feet, 

for a totally isolated adventure. Big Bend is home 

to 4,000 species of animals and insects, as well 

as fossilized dinosaur bones. Campers can also 

kayak the Rio Grande along St Elena and Mariscal

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION 

FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL) 

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. 

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities 

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out 

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. 

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help 

prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long 

course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council 

for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s 

BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to 

help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives with handson 

community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.

are people friendly. Include the animal in your daily home life inside your home. 

Get to know them as individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, 

anecdotes. Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible. Although 

you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, please know that your 

efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/her forever home. Visit Loving

Gardening Tips 

for June 

Lawns 

• Apply iron sulfate or chelete to St. Augustine grass lawns. 

• Mow St. Augustine to a 2-inch height now to protect roots from the 

sun. Never cut off more than a third of the leaf. 

• Continue treatment of lawns for chinch bug. As the temperature 

hits 80 degrees, chinch bugs begin to reproduce in the hottest and 

driest part of the lawn, usually next to cement. Use diazinon or 

dursban granules. 

Flowers 

• Overwatered hibiscus, purslane and bougainvillea won’t bloom. 

• Keep flowers pinched off of coleus and caladiums to encourage 

more of the beautiful foliage. 

• Plants to set: Acalpha, Ageratum, Alternathera, Aspidistra, 

Artemisia, Balsam, Begonia, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, Coleus, 

Croton, Dusty Miller, Feverfew, Gaillardia, Geranium, Marigold, 

Petunia, Pinks, Portulaca, Salvia-red, Shrimp Plant, Torenia, 

Verbena and Vinca. 

Vegetables 

• A strong blast of water in the morning rids plants of most bugs for 

the rest of the day. 

• Vegetables to plant: Cantaloupe, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, 

Eggplant sets, Okra, Black Peas, Pepper Sets, Summer Squash and 

Sweet Potato. 

Shrubs 

• Watch Camellias and Azaleas, they’re setting their blooms now for 

next season. So give them a good mulch and plenty of water. Mulch 

well with oak leaves and/or pine needles to keep soil acidic. 

Benefits of Mulching: Mulching (organic or inorganic) is a layer 

of material on the surface of the soil around the plant. Mulches 

conserve water by reducing evaporation, insulates the soil and 

protects it from the drying wind and hot sun. Mulches break the 

force of rain and irrigation water and tend to prevent erosion, soil 

compaction, and crusting. Lastly, a 2-3 inch layer of mulch will 

almost eliminate weed problems.
