13-man orchestra got ovation after
ovation, several with the audience
standing. Naturally, Ferguson’s hit
“Gonna Fly Now,” used in the
movie “Rocky,” got a good part of
the applause.
Ferguson will he 50 years old this
year, but you’d never guess that
from his stage antics. Time after
time after his solos he bounced back
from the microphone and waved his
arms wildly in a request for
applause. He got it.

Poisoned lake remodeled;
sailing may be land-bound
By DANA GAKDINA
The renovation of the Bryan
Municipal Lake, located at the
corner of College Avenue and Villa
Maria, will force tin* Texas A&M
University Sailing Club to find an
alternate lake for sailing.
The lake is being remodeled be
cause arsenic tainted water seeped
into it from Penmvalt Co. waste re
tention ponds, leaving contaminated
sediments.
The two alternate* lakes being
considered by the sailing club are
Lake Summerville and the Bryan
Utility Lake on Sandy Point Road
outside of Bry an.
Jerry Mainord, adviser for the
sailing club, said there will he no
place in the local community to
teach sailing lessons for the two
y ears Bry an Municipal Lake is being
remodeled. The club teaches about
250 members a year to sail, he said.
The Bryan Municipal Lake is
about 1.5 miles from Texas AixM,
while Lake- Sominerv ille is approx
imately 25 miles, and the Bryan
Utility Lake* about 13 miles.
“The big problem is the ex
pense, Mainord said.
At the Bryan Utility Lake it costs
S2 per car each day to get into the
park, or S25 per ear annually .
The lake has no facilities to store
boats. Therefore, the club is faced
with the expense of gas, and wear
and tear on hauling their equipment
to and from the lake.
Lake Summerville has slips (dock
ing spots) for the sailing club's
22 boats, hut the club can t afford to
rent slips for that many boats. He
said renting a slip costs Slo to S20.
At the Bry an Municipal Lake the
sailing club built its own boathouse.
The sailing club lias to move the
boathouse because its location is
going to he razed. The sailing chib
hasn t found a place to put the
boathouse.
Tlie sailing club plans to start
using an alternate lake around
March 15.
“But teaching sailing will con
tinue,’ Mainord said, “even if it
goes dry .
Greg Schertz; racing team cup-
tain, said that the Bryan Miinki|
Lake w as perfect for the sailing
"because lots of people just n
their bikes to Municipal Lake."
The club couldn’t keep going!

Mainord said that the Bn;

much nicer after the renovation
“Right now the water issM

whole problem is where will we
