Construction of stacking

in 2017, according to Rickey
Dailey, a spokesman for Texas

that runs the ferry system.
The stacking lanes are to be
built in the area of where the
east end of Port Street is now.
City Manager Dave Parsons
said the new stacking lanes
will hold about 435 vehicles.
Thats about the number of
cars that would fill the ferry

Establishment
Republicans
hold noses;
back Cruz
In a pinch,
Ted Cruzs
behavior in
Washing-
Dave ton could
McNeely probably be
used as a
list of donts for the back of the famous
book, How to Win Friends and Influence
People.
Among his fellow senators, his lack of
friends, brought about by his self-promo-
tion and strident disregard for legislative
colleagues, is as well known as his leading a
government shutdown.
One senator who had dropped his own
bid for the Republican presidential nomi-
nation, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina,
joked about killing Cruz.
If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of
the Senate and the trial was in the Senate,
Graham said, nobody would convict you.
In the same speech at the annual Wash-
ington Press Club Foundation dinner Feb.
26, I was asked the hardest question in my
political life: Do you agree with Donald
Trump that Ted Cruz is the biggest liar in
politics? Graham said. Too close to call.
Or, to journalists on Feb. 4:
If youre a Republican and your choice
is Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in a general
election, Graham said, its the difference
between being poisoned or shot -- youre
still dead.
Or, back on Dec. 2, before Graham
dropped his presidential bid:
I think [Ted Cruz] is an opportunist,
hes a libertarian when it is hot.
After all that negative commentary about
Cruz, how can Graham justify not only
supporting him, but actually holding a
fundraiser for him?
Graham said although he actually prefers
Ohio Gov. John Kasich as the most viable
general election candidate, he thinks Cruz
has a better chance to survive the primary
process and stop Trump.
When I joked about killing my dis-
tinguished colleague, Graham explained,
that didnt mean I was opposed to him
becoming president.
*******
Only Trump or Cruz. . . . The chairman
of Cruzs campaign in Texas, Lt. Gov. Dan
Patrick, as a delegate to the Republican
nominating convention, contends the only
legitimate candidates are Trump and
Cruz.
If neither reaches 1,237 delegates before
the Convention, I will work to rally support
for Ted Cruzs nomination and fight any
effort to disrupt the process by injecting an
illegitimate candidate into the mix, Patrick
said in a statement.
I will draw a line in the sand on this
issue and stand up for . . . people . . . dis-
gusted with those Washington elites who
anoint themselves the power brokers on all
things in our country, Patrick declared.
Delegates are sworn to vote for particu-
lar candidates on the first ballot. If no one
gets the 1,237 votes needed, delegates can
vote for whomever they want.
If the convention deadlocks, Patrick may
find out if he can influence votes besides
his own.
*******
Kasich and Choice. . . . Some more mod-
erate Republicans prefer Kasich to Trump
or Cruz. But on a womans right to choose,
Texan Cecile Richards says Kasich is no
better.
Richards, national head of Planned
Parenthood, was asked by Tina Brown at a
Women in the World Forum in Los Ange-
les in February about a Kasich presidency.
It would be a complete and utter disas-
ter, said Richards, oldest daughter of Texas
last Democratic governor, the late Ann
Richards.
I think its really important because
Gov. Kasich has sort of come off as a mod-
erate and I guessonly by comparison
toTed Cruz and Donald Trump but it
is really important to know, in Ohio more
than half the providers of safe and legal
abortion have had to shut down, she said.
Hes signed 17 separate bills to restrict
reproductive access in the state. Its really
rivaling Texas as the worst place for women
to get access to healthcare, Richards said.
She cautions that the problems that have
plagued Texas including the closing
of clinics, and a reduction in health care
services for both men and women could
happen in the rest of the country if an
anti-choicer wins in November.
As for Texas closing clinics, The heart-
breaking part of it is its hitting low income
women the very worst, Richards said. If
you live (near the) border of Texas, you
have very few options for healthcare.
Many women are now going over the
border (into Mexico) estimates of up
to 250,000 women trying to self-abort in
the last several years in Texas, Richards
said.Were better than that as a country.
Richards said the election stakes are
high.
I think that when folks vote this
November, literally Roe v. Wade is on the
ballot, she said. The impact the next pres-
ident will have in appointing justices, and
what their attitudes are towards women, is
going to be critical and determinative
and not just for a couple of years but for a
long, long time.

Spring Breakers tout beer, Jesus
Continued from Page 1A
to find parking on the beach
south of Beach Access Road
1A, you found yourself in the
hotspot of where most Spring
Breakers gathered.
Most parties parked around
poles 29 to 32 and were some-
times three to four cars deep
past the no-parking barrels.
The gambit for the Yeatts
family was to hide a snare
trap in the sand and when an
unsuspecting Spring Breaker
walks by, gently pull her into
a hole to let her know shes
been caught.
The first girl Jackson caught
earned him an Xbox video
game system. Every other girl
was $10 in Jacksons pocket
from his grandfather.
Its really fun, Jackson
said. Its too easy for me.
Richard said he brings Jack-
son to Rockport during Spring
Break to go fishing, but want-
ed him to see the beach in Port
Aransas.
This is the first time Ive
had (Jackson) in the madness
(on the beach), Richard said.
Just trying to keep his mind
occupied by doing something
sillyand hes doing a good
job.
As a group of guys walked
by and started to inspect the
hidden trap, Jackson stood up
to keep them away.
Dont touch it! he told
them. Its only for girls!
Another way Spring Break-
ers pick up girls on the beach
is by exhibiting a fit physique.
You walk around on the
beach, showing off your mus-
cles, Sgt. Guadalupe Campos
said. Prove it. Do some pull-
ups.
Campos was among Marine
Corps recruiters from Corpus
Christi who were common
on the beach during Spring
Break.
In their area, a inflatable
marine stands about 13 feet
high with arms crossed, look-
ing over two pull-up bars,
open for beachgoers to use.
Those who accept the pull-
up challenge get bragging
rights if they beat the record
for the day and a T-shirt or
water bottle.
Dalton Ashley did it.
I kind of wanted to show
off how many pull ups I could
do, the San Antonio resident
said. Show off my fitness
level, I guess.
Ashley and his friend Justus
Burns, also of San Antonio,
tried to beat the record of
28 pull-ups set on Thursday,
March 17, but were unsuc-
cessful. The duo are students
at Northeast Lakeview College
in San Antonio.
Were just going to the
beach, trying to meet some
girls, Ashley said. Taking a
break from college and trying
to forget about it.
A majority of the college
students like Ashley and
Burns walk up and down the
beach to find a good party.
And nothing keeps a good
party going like some good
tunes. Picking the music can
be a deal-breaker: Its the dif-
ference between packing the
beach and clearing a crowd.
For Corpus Christi resident
Pat Longoria, DJing on the
beach has been an ongoing
tradition for the past six years
now. He does it for free, just
for fun.

Longoria, equipped with a
laptop, turntable, giant sound
system and portable generator
for power, played music for
a crowd of about 200 people
that gathered around his area
on the beach.
I just play whatever the
people want to hear, Longoria
said. Out here until I run out
of music.
Being behind the DJ booth
gives Longoria a perspective
on Spring Break that most
beachgoers dont get to see.
Ive seen so much s*** out
here, its not even funny, he
said. Last year, I came out
here with a 30-foot trailer
full of speakers. I had people
climbing on top and dancing,
jumping off, typical Spring
Break stuff.
With Longorias electron-
ics open to the elements, the
dismal weather made him
reconsider how long hed stay
out and perform.
If it starts pouring, then
yeah, Longoria said about
leaving during the rain. If its

If you kept walking on the
beach, among the bright-
ly-colored flags hoisted up on
the backs of pick-up trucks,
youd see a giant cross moving
through the sand.
The cross, carried by Bob
Crosswalker Hanus of Uto-
pia, is about 9 feet high, weighs
75 pounds and is solid wood.
The bottom also is slightly
worn from being dragged on
the ground.
I used to be a cocaine deal-

said. For 12 years, I was a

Hanus said after three car

and an overdose, he cleaned

which ferry lines back up so
much that they create traffic
problems on Alister Street
and Cut-Off Road.
When the stacking area
is built, the loop at Roberts
Point Park would be closed
and the present road leading
from the landings to Alister
Street would be used only
for vehicles disembarking
ferries, according to plans.
The land where the stack-
ing lanes are planned is
made up of contiguous piec-
es of undeveloped lots. Tx-
DOT owns one of the lots.
The city owns the rest.
That includes a 6.2-acre
piece of property that the
city purchased from a pair
of private landowners. The
council in 2014 appropriated
$800,000 in city funds as a
down payment on the land.
Council members then voted
to issue $1,685,000 in certif-
Shuttle stop may be added
Dan Parker
News editor
Some changes might be
coming to the Port Aransas
shuttle route soon.
The route could get a new
stop and have the locations
of two existing stops moved
slightly.
The Port Aransas City
Council will hold a public
hearing on the idea on Thurs-
day, March 24. The hearing
will kick off a council meeting
that will address a variety of
other topics. The meeting is
scheduled to start at 5 p.m.
at council chambers, 710 W.
Ave. A.
The shuttle technically is
known as the Corpus Christi
Regional Transportation Au-
thority (RTA) Bus Route 94.
While an RTA bus is used on
the route, it is the city council
that will make the decision
about whether to add two
more stops, said Francisca
Nixon, executive administra-
tive assistant at city hall.
The RTA is proposing to
add a stop at the Cinnamon
Shore subdivision on State
Hwy. 361, she said.
The agency also wants to
move one stop away from
its location on the west side
of State Hwy. 361, across the
street from the U.S. Post Of-
fice. The new location would
be on Ninth Street, behind the
post office. That location is saf-
er for pedestrians, Nixon said.
The RTA also is proposing
to relocate a stop at Mustang
Beach Airport. Right now, the

Cinnamon Shore request going

Dan Parker
News editor
If you have something to
say about Cinnamon Shores
proposal to expand, heres a
chance to talk to several deci-
sion makers at once about it.
The Port Aransas City
Council will meet on Thurs-
day, March 24, and hear a
second reading of a proposed
ordinance to rezone large
tracts of land along State
Hwy. 361 for expansions of
the Cinnamon Shore sub-
division.
The meeting is scheduled
for 5 p.m. at council cham-
bers, 710 W. Ave. A.

icate of obligation bonds for
the purchase.
The council also decid-
ed to swap a piece of city-
owned land with Kelly and
Beth Owens for a piece of
property they owned. Both
properties are on Cut-Off
Road.
The deal was made before
Beth Owens was elected to
the council. After she was
elected, she abstained from
votes related to the matter.
The city wanted the Ow-
ens land because it was in
the path of where the city in-
tended to reroute Port Street
toward the intersection of
Cut-Off Road and Avenue A.
On their property, the
Owens have a parking lot that
serves their business, Deep
Sea Headquarters, around
the corner. The Owens agreed
to trade the property for a
piece of city-owned land
stop is in the airport parking
lot. The RTA wants to move
the stop a short distance away,
to the west side of Island
Moorings Parkway, near Piper
Boulevard.
Its difficult for the shuttle
to find enough room to turn
around in the airport parking
lot when cars are in the lot,
Nixon said.
In addition to the stops
near the post office and at the
airport, stops currently on the
shuttle route are at Pioneer
RV Resort on State Hwy.
361; Beach Access Road 1A
at On the Beach RV; various
locations along 11th Street; the
Leonabelle Turnbull Birding
Center; Roberts Point Park;
the University of Texas Marine
Science Institute; and Horace
Caldwell Pier.
The shuttle runs all day,
every day. The first stop is at
Pioneer RV at 10 a.m. The
last is at the same location at
5:52 pm. The cost is 25 cents
per trip.
The public hearing is for cit-
izens to express their opinions
on the proposal. The council
isnt required to vote on the
matter.
If the RTA moves forward
with the changes, they likely
will take effect sometime in
May, Nixon said.
She said the added stop
wont make the route longer.
Whenever they originally
(designed) the route we have
now, they allocated more time
between each stop (than was
needed), so they are able to

Feb. 18.
Council members Beth
Owens, Wendy Moore, Steve
Lanoux, Edwin Myers and
Beverly Bolner voted yes.
Charles Bujan voted no.
Mayor Keith McMullin,
who is a real estate broker,
abstained from voting.
The rezoning request has
been made by the Sea Oats
Group, the developer of the
existing Cinnamon Shore.
The Sea Oats Group has plans
for a $1 billion development

Plans call for three new
subdivisions, all under the
Cinnamon Shore brand, to be
built in phases over a period
of years on both sides of State
Hwy. 361.
The Sea Oats Group wants
to build first on a 78-acre tract
on the east side of the highway,
just north of La Mirage con-

are planned for that area. That
will include 231 single-family

Education notes
Special programs and interventions
Parents who have more than
one child know they are usually
completely different. How then
do we possibly meet the needs of
every single child, every day, in a
classroom of 20 students?
Port Aransas ISD provides
various special programs for
children who qualify based on
state and federal guidelines.
These programs include gifted
and talented (GT), English as a
second language (ESL), section
504 (which includes Dyslexia),
and special education services.
When students are referred
for gifted and talented evalua-
tion, assessments include areas
of ability, academic skill and
divergent/creative thinking. Re-
gardless of whether the student
meets the eligibility criteria,
information is offered to parents
and teachers to better foster and
develop each childs unique
abilities. Teachers in PAISD
have received an initial 30 hours
of training in G/T and attend
annual updates so they may pro-
vide services in the classroom
at all grade levels. One class-
room teacher, Amanda Tipps,
shared that she intentionally
asks gifted students more com-
plex, open-ended questions;
gives them fewer directions

Section 504 is the law that
provides protections against
discrimination for individuals
with disabilities. While the
majority of our students in 504
have dyslexia, others have med-
ical conditions, such as asthma,
diabetes or seizure disorders. In
order to qualify for a 504 plan, a
committee must determine that
there is a disability that causes

In order for a student to qual-
ify under special education, the
student must have a disability
and demonstrate an educational
need that cannot be met with-
out special education services.
Students may fall into any of 13
categories, which may include
impairments in speech, vision,
hearing, intellect, learning, and
emotional functioning. In com-
pliance with federal guidelines
(IDEA), our district evaluations
are conducted by credentialed
staff such as a Speech Language
Pathologist (SLP) or a Licensed
Specialist in School Psychology
(LSSP). The Texas Education
Agency (TEA) has set the ex-
pectation that districts identify
and serve approximately eight
percent of students through spe-
cial education. PAISD currently
serves about 10 percent of the
student population with special
education services.
The Texas Education Agen-
cy describes the intervention
and documentation process,
referred to as Response to Inter-
vention or RtI, as an approach
that schools use to help all
students, including struggling
nized and supported by the
Kiwanis Club of Port Aransas,
Cinnamon Shore, City of Port
Aransas Parks and Recreation
Department and the Port
Aransas Independent School
District.
We are hopeful that this
event will spread to Brundrett
Middle School next year, so
that all of the students will
have the opportunity to de-
velop their individual leader-
ship skills, Christenson said.
Now more than ever, Port
Aransas needs leadership,
and who knows, maybe one
of these young people will
become mayor, governor or
even president one day. Now
that is what I call a return on
your investment!

learners. The RtI approach
gives Texas students oppor-
tunities to learn and work at
their grade level. The idea is to
help all students be successful.
The intent of this process is to
provide interventions quickly
and without labels, whenever
possible. The majority of our
elementary students receive
some type of intervention(s).
Skill deficits that are detected
and addressed early include the
development of reading, math,
language, motor skills, social
skills, behavior, etc.
Student Success Teams (SST)
meet regularly at Olsen Ele-
mentary, and as needed in high-
er grades. The teams discuss
concerns, and create goals and
strategies. When a referral for

regarding whether a disability is
suspected and/or an evaluation

At PAISD, we know children
dont fit into a box. We also re-
alize each child has unique gifts
and needs, and in this diversity,
there is beauty and there is
strength (Maya Angelou). We
pride ourselves on really see-
ing each child, and working
hard to best meet his or her
needs on an individual basis,
regardless of labels or programs.

Council to look at taxi ordinance

Dan Parker
News editor
Port Aransas city officials
are looking at tweaking a city
ordinance addressing taxis to
make sure other vehicles for
hire have to comply with the
ordinance.
The city council is expected
to discuss the matter when it
meets at 5 p.m. on Thursday,
March 24. The meeting will
be at council chambers, 710
W. Ave. A.
The ordinance thats in
place now requires that taxi
businesses register with the
city and pay a $400 road tax
each year.
The ordinance also requires
taxi businesses to pay a $100
permit fee for the companys
first vehicle and $25 for each
additional vehicle.
Council members will con-
sider an ordinance that will
require all vehicles for hire
conform to the same require-
ments, said City Secretary
Irma Parker.
That would include Uber
drivers and any kind of chauf-
feured vehicle, she said.
The current ordinance re-
quires that taxi services pro-
vide City Hall with proof of
insurance and not operate
vehicles any more than 10
years old, Parker said. A newly
worded ordinance will make
those rules apply to all vehi-
cles for hire, she said.
Parker said she wasnt sure
if any vehicle-for-hire busi-
nesses currently exist in Port
Aransas, aside from taxi com-
panies.
The council is expected to
vote on a first reading of the
ordinance Thursday. Three
readings are required for final
approval.

Spring Break follies

Beachgoers party, drink in the masses on the beach
The beach, as usual, was the
place to be if you were looking
to party hard, drink cold bev-
erages and have a good time
during this years Spring Break.
South of Beach Access Road
1A was where most beach-
goers congregated in large
groups, many of them in huge
4X4 pickup trucks equipped
with loud stereos and flags that
made them easily identifiable
to their friends.
According to the Port
Aransas Chamber of Com-
merce-Tourist Bureau, the
population in Port Aransas
surges from 3,500 people to
as much as 100,000 people
during Spring Break.
Clockwise from right:

the largest parties on the beach.

Chief Concerns
The Spring Break experience
I always end up writing at
least one column during the
middle of the night towards
the end of every Spring Break
and this year is no exception.
As I peck away at my key-
board this morning, we are
well into the wee hours of the
second Sunday (March 20) of
my eighth break as your chief.
Writing this column often
seems like a chore, but this
morning it is an excuse to get
off the beach and let my tired
body rehabilitate from the
abuse I have put it through
during the past week.
I am not complaining, not
even a little bit. I think that
every cop should have the op-
portunity to police large-scale
festivals during their careers.
Events such as Mardi Gras in
New Orleans, New Years Eve
in Times Square, University of
Texas at Austin vs. Oklahoma
University Weekend in Dallas,
Halloween on Sixth Street in
Austin and Spring Break at
a destination beach provide
many challenges unique to the
law enforcement profession,
not the least of which is a test
of ones personal stamina.
The long hours, large
crowds, loud music, flash-
ing lights, constant chatter
on the police radio and the
measuring between 74 and 95
mph registers as a category 1
hurricane on the Saffir-Simp-
son Hurricane Wind Scale.
The storm continued into
the early morning hours on
Saturday, March 19.

through.
It doesnt help that my
trophy wife insisted that I
kick my nicotine addiction
after my little cardiac event
last winter.
However, I still consume
mass quantities of chocolate
and Dr. Pepper in an attempt
to convince my body to keep
on going, even though it
doesnt want to.
But there are consequences.
My hands have mild trem-
ors from too much sugar, too
much caffeine and too little
sleep. My lower back is having
spasms from the long hours
of wearing a duty belt and all
the miles of driving the rough
beach; but I would not trade
the experience for anything in
the world.
Being the police chief does
not allow me to work patrol as EMS and the Port Aransas Volunteer Fire Department

According to Omar Lopez,
a spokesman with American
Electric Power (AEP), 68,000
customers lost power during
the storm in the Corpus
Christi area, which included
Port Aransas residents.
I will always be a beat cop at
heart. Working side-by-side
with the younger officers
during major events, in-
cluding Spring Break, helps
me keep things in perspec-
tive. Being the 50-something
year old I am, not nearly in
as good a shape as I once
was, my reactions are a little
slower, and I have to put on
bi-focals to write a report or
issue a ticket. I am responsi-
ble for setting the tone for the
department and leading by
example, but as an old school
street cop, it sometimes takes
every ounce of patience I
have to show the restraint I

ruly drunks.
The radio chatter is start-
ing to quiet down and anoth-
er Spring Break will soon be
behind us. I smile to myself
as I watch the young officers
saunter down the hallway.
It is obvious that they are as
fatigued as I am, but none
of them would trade the
experience for anything in
the world.

flower petals in the Gulf, below. City Manager Dave Parsons was invited to join them, and
was asked if the city could put up signs on the beach warning folks of rip currents. Parsons

Maundy Thursday
God came to dwell among
us: It began at Christmas, and
on Maundy Thursday that
reality is elevated to the new
norm of the church; we are
to live with an expectation
that God is present among
us when we break bread
together, and when we serve
one another as host-servants.
In Maundy Thursday, Jesus
brings us an invitation, no, a
commandment to live a life
of love that is laced with eter-
nal encounter with divinity.
Maundy Thursday begins
the Holy Triduum (3 days)
that ends with the Resur-
rection of Christ in Easter.
These three most-holy days
of the church contain the
final teachings of Christ
paired with the actions he
takes to conquer death by
death. The word Maundy
means commandment, re-
lated to our English word
mandate. As we reflect on
the meaning of this day, we
might be attentive to what Je-
sus is commanding us to do.
It is a simple, and challenging
command: To Love.
Jesus Loves, in the context
of this commandment, by
putting things out of their ex-
pected order; by re-ordering
things as they are to be in his
kingdom. As the rabbi among
his friends, Jesus transforms
a regular, weekly meal into a
weekly remembrance of him.
He transforms a typical meal
into an occasion of taking
Christ into our body and
soul in the mystical feast of
communion. For almost two
millennia now his disciples
still gather to break bread and
share wine to partake of the
mystical presence of Christ.
The second thing Jesus
does to demonstrate his com-
mandment to love is to wash
the feet of everyone at that
meal. He does so after they
have eaten, which would have
been disorienting if not a bit
scandalizing. Foot washing
was not the rabbis job to do
at the end of the meal, it was
the servants job to do before
the meal. Jesus transforms
another ordinary actionhe
is cleansing more than the
soles of their feet. The mas-
ter is subverting the order of
things to become servant of
his disciples souls.

Remembering a super tech friend

A friend and co-worker of
mine died this week. Nobody
knew him here, but Jay Ardai
worked on research vessels
and on the Arctic pack ice
with me for years. He was a
super tech and this is my
tribute to him. In some ways
we were rivals, if only in who
went to the polar regions of
the earth the most times. I
suspect Jay won that contest,
as I retired from going to the
ice more 15 years ago. A ma-
rine super tech was a person
skilled in many aspects of ways
to measure the ocean under
harsh conditions during an
era when you needed to know
how the instruments worked
and how to mend them when
they broke down in places
far from an electronics store.
Gorgeous grounds
The Port Aransas Garden Club has given its March
Commercial Yard of the Month award to the Drop Anchor
Bar and Grill at 118 Cut-Off Road. Pictured is owner and
gardener Guy Richards. Landscaping includes snapdragons,
wave petunias, asparagus fern, geraniums, knockout roses,
Esperanza, hearty hibiscus, chili peppers, Hare Krishna
daisies, red ginger lillies, purple fountain grass and airplane
plants.

But you also needed to know
how to navigate, how to use
marine communication gear,
run a winch, how to keep
the computers going, how to
vet the data and how to pack
and unpack the equipment
and ship it around the world
as well as some science to
understand what the goals of
the program were all about.
Jay did all of this and more.
Heres an adventure he and I
had 30 years ago.
It was Feb. 4, 1985 and

we were aboard the U.S.
Coast Guard Icebreaker Polar
Star sailing along the edge
of the immense Ross Ice
Shelf (a piece of floating ice,
three-quarters the size of Tex-
as). An Automatic Weather
Station (AWS) a few miles
inland from the cliff-like edge
of the ice shelf needed servic-
ing, and I was Jays assistant
for the job (he worked for the
Lamont-Doherty Geological
Observatory of Columbia
University and I worked for
the University of Texas Marine
Science Institute). We flew out
from Polar Star on a helicopter
and my notes say this:
I helped Jay Ardai of LDGO
replace the batteries and add a
5-ft section to the existing tower.
As the helicopter flew back
to the ship after leaving us on

Spring Breakers
tackle fishing trips
Fishing has been steady
both offshore and in the bays
over the last week that saw
Spring Breakers take to the
water for some fishing.
Limits of Atlantic sharp-
nose shark are being caught
on eight-hour trips out of
Deep Sea Headquarters,
according to Dan Hilburn,
who works there. He also
said those trips are producing
some kingfish, and when they
go out to the rocks, theyre
catching vermilion snapper
and one or two amberjack.
The 12-hour trips are bring-
ing back kingfish, one or two
barracuda, wahoo and some
big amberjack, scamp grouper
and vermilion snapper. Bay
anglers are reeling in gafftop,
whiting and sandtrout, while
bay guides are returning to the
dock with redfish, black drum
and a few trout. The coolest
thing was our 5-hour trip
during Spring Break, Hilburn
said. Those trips caught bull
redfish and everybody had to
use their tags. Well start those
trips up again in May, he said.

Fatty Corals
Carrying a bit of extra fat isnt usually considered ideal
among the human population, but for corals, extra fat could
be a lifesaver. The more fat reserves a coral has, the stronger
its recovery appears to be after severe stress.
One of the biggest threats
to corals is bleaching, which
results from the stress
caused by changes in light,
nutrient availability or tem-
perature. Microscopic algae
called zooxanthellae live
in coral tissue. The coral
NOAA
and algae live symbiotically,
Severely bleached coral is depending on each other for
seen in Hawaii. survival. The coral obtains
much of its energy from the
sugar made from the algaes
photosynthesis. But when they experience severe stress, cor-
als expel the zooxanthellae, which leaves them pale or even
white and more vulnerable to disease or harm from storms.
As climate change has warmed the seas, coral bleaching
has become more common and ocean ecosystems have
suffered from increasing coral death. But corals can recover
from these bleaching events, and having more fat storage
helps. Scientists exposed three coral species finger coral,
boulder coral and mustard hill coral to elevated tempera-
tures for two and a half weeks to induce bleaching. When
they tested them six weeks later, the finger coral was in the
best shape and had the largest fat reserves. The animal in
the poorest shape was the mustard hill coral, which stored
the least amount of fat.
Scientists suspect the fat helps the coral because it pro-
vides energy to make up for the sugar lost as a result of the
departed zooxanthellae during a bleaching event. Less fat
means greater difficulty healing from the bleaching. Know-
ing this can help scientists predict how a coral reef will fare
with the expected increase in bleaching events.

Ashly Fenton and his son, Zane Bailey, both of Port Aransas,
hauled in this massive 116-pound, 60-inch amberjack on
Friday, March 18. They were fishing aboard the Wicked
Felina. Zane is a sixth grader at Brundrett Middle School.
The fish was just a little short of the state record. The state
record amberjack is 64.9 inches and 121 pounds.
