been positive.
From the feedback I have received,
the residents are currently excited to

its way to Murphy

The Pokemon Go game craze has
made it way to Murphy.
Following clues on their smart
phones, gamers can be found wan-
dering around the city looking for lo-
cations inside and outside buildings
where Pokemon characters and props
can be found.
The game is based on the Pokemon
card game craze of the 1990s, but is an
enhanced version utilizing augmented
reality. The technology blends the digi-
tal and real world together by placing
the cartoon characters by GPS in real
locations.
Pokestops, locations to collect Poke-
mon eggs and items to enhance the
power of characters, and gyms where
Pokemon fights are staged pop up on
smart phones, often with a picture of
the location, to attract players.
The catch is that players must get
outside and walk in order to collect
the characters and do battle. If a gamer
picks up a Pokemon egg at a Pokestop,

Various Pokestops can be found
around Murphy, most of which are lo-
cated inside or outside of restaurants
along 544. Some stops include Elevate
Church, 7-Eleven, Whataburger, Hana

fountain, Einstein Brothers Bagels and
the Timbers Nature Preserve. There is a
gym where you can battle other players

Trent Gibson was doing his best to
catch a Pokemon outside of the Whata-
burger while battling a fellow gamer

The Pokemon can get away if you
dont make sure they are in the Poke-
ball, he said.
What made the game so fun is you
get to collect all types of Pokemon,
Clayton Jenkins said while looking for
a collection point at the Timbers Park.
Then you get to do battle with other
Pokemon.
Although Pokestops and gyms are
at fixed locations, Pokemon characters
can be found anywhere. Players see the
character on their smart phone, and,
with the flick of a finger, roll a Pokeball
to try and capture them.
Currently, there are 151 characters

Stay safe: Wear flotation devices
By Wyndi Veigel
News Editor

As summer temperatures rise, a
cool, refreshing dip in the lake or
pool may be just what is needed.
With five recent drowning in-
cidents taking place in the DFW
area, however, water safety is par-
amount.
Texas Parks and Wildlife is
encouraging people to be smart,
be safe and be sober while on area
lakes, Collin County Game War-
den Mike Stephens said. Be safe
when you are out there, be smart
about what you are doing and avoid
boating while intoxicated.
As far as life vests are concern,
Stephens recommends that every-
one wear a life vest while on a
boat. For 13 and under, state law
requires kids to wear a life jacket
at all times.
On most lakes, there is a zero
tolerance policy with game war-

dens, he said.
According to information re-
leased by Texas Parks and Wild-
life, 70% of persons who died in a
boating accident would be alive to-
day, if they had worn a life jacket.
A fun part of summer is swim-
ming at area lakes and pools, but it
is also one of the most dangerous.
Parents are encouraged to make
sure their children know how to
swim before heading out to any
swimming area.
Texas Parks and Wildlife sug-
gests even as an adult if you are
not a strong swimmer or that you
get tired easily, that a life jacket
is worn. Children are encouraged
to always wear a life jacket when
swimming in area rivers, ponds
and lakes.
Watching your surroundings
while swimming is also an impor-
tant safety tip.
There may be drop offs, chang-
ing bottoms and potential for un-
seen limbs, rocks, and other ob-
other safety concerns that might
not be visible in heavy smoke.
The software will enable
WF-R personnel to efficiently
draw floor plans, including any
safety obstacles, load building-
specific forms and data, and draw
emergency planning diagrams for
quick assessment in the event of
fire or other emergency response.

jects. It is also important to never
swim alone. Even the most expe-
rienced swimmers can tire or get
muscle cramps, so having a friend
can be helpful.
With drowning being the sec-
ond leading cause of accidental
death for children, it is paramount
for adults to watch kids at all times
around water. It only takes a mo-
ment for a child to slip below the
surface.
Knowing your skills and not
taking chances in the water can
also save lives. If you dont know
how to swim, do not get into the
water, even with a floatation de-
vice.
Swimming in designated swim-
ming areas is also an important part
of water safety. Park staff members
have made careful decisions about
the safest and best places for swim-
ming. Please swim only in designated
swimming areas, according to infor-
mation released by the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department. For youth 13 and under, state law requires kids to wear a life jacket at all times.

When asked what he might

said.
The sports he cited are the
ones most Olympic watchers
do care about, ones that require
endurance, strength and agility.
However, unlike McIlroy I will
not be among the group thats
going out of its way to watch
those events or most of the up-
coming games.
Truthfully, if it wasnt for
the fact that a local athlete will
be at the games, tae kwon do
competitor Jackie Galloway
from Wylie, my level of inter-
est would be close to nil. Hope-
fully, she will kick and punch
her way to the top of the medal
stand.
Why? Well, as people age
we develop different interests,
and mine in the Olympics dis-
sipated years ago.
When I was younger, track
and field, along with swimming
and boxing, were the events I
cared about the most.
Who is the worlds fast-
est human? Who will take the
decathlon? How many gold
medals could so-and-so take in
their particular sport? Are we
getting an early look at the next
heavyweight champion? The
Olympics were the place to an-
swer those questions.
Decades before he became
famous for a sex change, Bruce
Jenner provided huge thrills
with a fantastic 1976 perfor-
mance at the summer games in
Montreal.
He closed out everything
with a sprint to the finish in the
400 that demonstrated not only
his willingness to win, but also
was a breathtaking way to fin-
ish years of hard work.
Four years earlier in Mu-
nich, American swimmer Mark
Spitz proved he had the talent
to match his ego, producing a
then-record seven gold medals
before Michael Phelps broke
that mark.
Perhaps a future Jenner or
Phelps will show up in Rio de
Janeiro.

to make postseason
By Greg Ford

Games are never played on
paper, but that is where predic-
tions reside. This is the season
for the latter, especially when it
comes to high school football
in Texas.
Over at Friday Night Foot-
ball the 2016 prognostications
are out, and mostly theyre
good for a number of local
players and teams.
Individually, the FNF writers
have place Plano East senior
linebacker Anthony Hines as
the No. 2 in the state Hous-
ton Episcopal senior defensive
lineman Marvin Wilson is No.
1 among the top 100 seniors
in Texas.
Hines, who is being heav-
ily recruited around the nation,
also is on the first-team Team
Texas defense.
Wylie East running back Eno
Benjamin, one of the several
Texas prep players who have
orally committed to Iowa, was
named to the second-team of-
fense, while being ranked the
No. 12 senior in the Lone Star
State.
Another PESH senior, defen-
sive end Deiontae Watts, made
the third-team defense and was
listed as the No. 56 senior in
Texas.
Hines and Watts also are on
the Class 6A preseason team,
as is Benjamin in Class 5A.
As for the Lone Star State ju-
niors, Sachses Jalen Mayden is
considered one of the top quar-
terbacks, while one of his tar-
gets, wide receiver Drue Jack-
son will be a player to watch,
according to the magazine.

The hottest day in recorded
history is July 10, 1913, when
temperatures soared to 134 F at
Furnace Creek, Calif. in the area
known as Death Valley. Death
Valley is situated between a
collection of high and steep
mountain ranges in the Mojave
Desert, and that positioning,
coupled with the low elevation
of Death Valley, which is 282
feet below sea level in certain
places, assures high tempera-
tures throughout much of the
year. In July of 1913, the area
was enduring an especially
scorching heat wave, as tem-
peratures exceeded 125 F for
more than a week straight. By
July 10, the temperature peaked
at 134 F, a temperature that was
measured at a weather observa-
tion post at Greenland Ranch.
Interestingly enough, the high
for the day was just one degree
cooler than the thermometer at
Greenland Ranch was capable
of measuring. Though Death
Valley still holds the distinction
it earned on that especially hot
day in July of 1913, for much of
the 101 years since it was not of-
ficially recognized as the record
holder thanks to an erroneous
report of a 136 F degree day in
Libya in 1922. That error, which
was blamed on the inexperience
of the weather observer and out-
dated equipment, was eventua

Once upon a time a boy

Ice cream truck history named Jack unwisely traded

On a sweltering day, few
things bring relief as immediate-
ly as a favorite frozen treat. The
United States leads the world in
ice cream consumption, with an
average of 26 liters per person
consumed per year.
Ice cream has been around
for quite some time, and it is be-
lieved ancient Greeks ate a crude
form of the dessert as early as
the 5th century B.C. While ice
cream parlors, dessert shops and
supermarket freezers are popular
places to sample favorite flavors,
ice cream also can be purchased
from ice cream trucks.
The tinkling of the ice cream
truck music box and the sight of
that dessert haven on wheels is
enough to send any child (and
many adults) into sensory over-
load. Some of the early precur-
sors to the modern day ice cream
truck were ice and ice cream
sandwich carts that gained pop-
ularity in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries.
Confectioner and visionary
Harry Burt was instrumental in
developing the ice cream truck.
Burt invented ice cream novel-
ties that could be enjoyed on a
stick, including the Good Humor
bar. Burt wanted an easy way to
deliver the treat into the hands of
hungry kids, so he commissioned
refrigerator trucks and hired driv-
ers who looked pristine and safe
to deliver the treats to neigh-
borhood children. To entice the
youngsters outside, the drivers
rang a bell so kids would investi-
gate the noise. Eventually the bell
and standard routes helped fami-
lies know when to expect the ice
cream man.
Early ice cream trucks may
have sold prepackaged treats,
but they eventually broadened
their offerings. Some turned
into mobile ice cream shops,
offering soft-serve or hard ice
cream in everything from sun-
daes to cones to shakes.
Many ice cream truck busi-
nesses are independently-owned
seasonal businesses. The trucks
are seen when the first warm
days arrive, and many can still
be seen patrolling neighborhood
streets into late fall.
the family cow for a handful
of magic beans. In a fit of
anger, his mother tossed the
beans out the window where
by morning they had grown
upward into the sky far out
of sight.
A Jack and the Beanstalk
story actually took place here
in Sachse last summer when
Vicki, a Fleur de Lis Garden
Club member, was given a
handful of castor bean seeds
by a friend. She planted and
tended them and like Jacks
bean stalks, her castor bean
plants started to grow and
grow until they reached an
amazing height of twenty feet!
The four-inch stalks, twelve-
inch leaves and spikey-look-
ing seed pods were strikingly
elegant. Sources say that
caster bean plants can reach
15 feet. Vickis spectacular
plants outdid source predic-
tions and by the end of the
growing season in November,
had actually grown an addi-
tional four to five feet! Turns
out the seeds she planted must
really have been magic!
Plant lovers share plants,
cuttings and seeds with each
other passing along rare and
unusual specimens. Years
ago the owner of a small hard-
ware store in Spring Lake,
North Carolina gave me a
handful of seeds saying they
were special. I could tell
they were sunflower seeds so I
planted them next to the back
door just like Vicki planted
her seeds. Like Vickis castor
been plants, these sunflower
plants grew and grew to just
beyond the eves of the house.
The flowers were gigantic and
the seed centers measured
twelve inches across. Those
seeds, too, would fit the de-
scription of magic beans.
We all know sunflower
seeds are edible. Not so the
castor bean! The beans or
seeds produced by castor bean
plants are extremely poison-
ous if ingested. Sometimes
a plants berries or seeds are
toxic, sometimes all parts of
a plant are harmful. Many
plants commonly found in our
homes are in the toxic catego-
ry. Caladium, elephant ear,
dieffenbachia, dumb cane and
poinsettia are a few. In the
landscape, azalea, mistletoe,
oleander, lantana, Carolina
jasmine, and hydrangea cause
severe toxicity. Wild mush-
rooms, the seeds of cherries,
peaches, pears, apples and
apricots are highly toxic and
the leaves of rhubarb are fatal
if eaten.
Plants in the minor toxicity
category cause stomach upset
or worse. Another group of
plants causes skin irritation
on contact with the sap. Sap
of the agave cactus or century
plant will cause painful blis-
ters everywhere it touches.
Sap of poison ivy, oak and su-
mac cause an itchy rash. The
skin and juice of mangos con-
tain the same allergen as poi- never, ever, put any part of
son ivy and will cause contact
Courtesy photo
dermatitis to those who are
susceptible.
Its a good idea to never
taste or eat any plant or plant
part when youre not sure of
its safety. Be sure to teach
your children this important
lesson. Watch that your pets
dont chew on them. Look
up poisonous plants on the
Internet and become familiar
with the ones you may have
in your home or yard. Keep
the phone number of the Poi-
son Control Center handy
just in case. The number is
1-800-222-1222. They can be
reached twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week.
Some plants known to be
poisonous create a spectacu-
lar display in your landscape
or make beautiful house-
plants. Just be careful and
remember to enjoy their
beauty with your eyes but
them in your mouth!

Legal Notice

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR

MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL

PERMIT NO. WQ0011451001

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Seis Lagos Utility District and North Texas Municipal Water District, 220 Seis Lagos Trail, Wylie, Texas
75098, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit
No. WQ0011451001, which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 250,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received
this application on April 1, 2016.

The facility is located at 1007 Riva Ridge, Wylie, in Collin County, Texas 75098. The treated effluent is discharged to an unnamed tributary of Lavon Lake; thence to
Lavon Lake in Segment No. 0821 of the Trinity River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is minimal aquatic life use for the unnamed tributary. The
designated uses for Segment No. 0821 are high aquatic life use, public water supply, and primary contact recreation. All determinations are preliminary and subject to
additional review and/or revisions.

The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the
conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and
regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Directors preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Rita &
Truett Smith Public Library, 300 Country Club Road, Building 300, Wylie, Texas. This link to an electronic map of the site or facilitys general location is provided
as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/hb610/index.
html?lat=33.0775&lng=-96.566944&zoom=13&type=r

CHANGE IN LAW: The Texas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 709, effective September 1, 2015, amending the requirements for comments and contested case
hearings. This application is subject to those changes in law.

PUBLIC COMMENT/ PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public
meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines
that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely
comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case
hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this
application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive
Directors decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court.

TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone
number; applicants name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property / activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific
description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you
submit during the comment period and, the statement [I/we] request a contested case hearing. If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of
a group or association, the request must designate the groups representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an
individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the
affected members location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the
group seeks to protect are relevant to the groups purpose.

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a
contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently
withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant
and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater
without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request
for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will
forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Directors decision, you will be added
to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on:
(1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the
permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.

All written public comments and public meeting requests must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 or electronically at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments.html within 30 days from the date of newspaper
publication of this notice.

AGENCY CONTACTS AND INFORMATION. If you need more information about this permit application or the permitting process, please call the TCEQ Public
Education Program, Toll Free, at 1-800-687-4040. Si desea informacion en Espanol,
~ puede llamar al 1-800-687-4040. General information about the TCEQ can be

found at our web site at www.TCEQ.texas.gov.
