She escaped from the vehicle, but the teen she knew chased her and continued to stab her, authorities said. As a crowd gathered, the two suspects fled. The sec ond teen has not been identified, police said. The Roosevelts have been volunteers with the “I Have A Dream” program since its inception in Dallas three years ago. The program is part of a national pro- )1. gram to keep “high-risk” students enrolled in school said Roosevelt’s family had requested no information be given on her condition. She was listed in serious condi tion Saturday. The Dallas Morning News reported that Roosevelt and her husband had invited the youth and a friend to their Dallas home Friday. According to police, the two teens spent the af ternoon playing pool and visiting with the couple. Roosevelt volunteered to drive the youths home and Foundation president Walter Durham said the stab bing was the first crime among the hundreds of relationships volunteers have had with students during the past three years. “This has been very upsetting,” he said. The program has 800 Dallas volunteers, each of whom works with two or three students, Durham said. Volunteers meet with students monthly and often invite them to movies, sports events and their homes, he said. Detective J.A. Trevino, who spoke with Roosevelt af ter the stabbing, said, “I think she’s more shocked than anybody else.” Texas drought could make river run dry SAN MARCOS (AP) — The San Marcos River, a popular out post for tubing, canoeing and scuba, could go dry for the first time in recorded history, scien tists say. A continuing drought in Cen tral Texas threatens to keep low ering the rain-fed Edwards Aquifer, which feeds the crystal- clear river, according to the Texas Academy of Science. The San Marcos spring flow “is down quite a bit,” said Jane Maler, a geologist at Southwest Texas State University where the academy held its annual meeting on Saturday. The Edwards Aquifer, an un derground river, is one of the most productive in the United States, according to the Environ mental Protection Agency. A report from SWTSU says continued dryness and excessive pumping have helped causeasig nificant decline in the natural flow of the spring. M l Underground homes help cut heating costs TEXARKANA (AP) — The December big chill meant a January big bill, and some people still were recovering from it in February. In rural areas, some propane bills ran more than $400. But Edsel Hicks’ heating bills for his three all electric rent houses averaged $60 for that period. From his own designs, Hicks has built econom ical, low-energy houses he calls “Earth Homes.” first rental houses designed and built like this in Texas, and perhaps in the country. People from all over the country write asking his advice on how to build them, he says. Hicks’ houses, which are underground except for their fronts, are around a lake on Farm Road 2148 west of Texarkana. He said cars often stop on the highway to get a long look at these houses built into the slopes. “I also save on insurance,” Hicks said. “I carry no insurance on the homes because they don’t burn down, get hail or storm damage, or have trees hit the roofs. I advise the renters to insure their property inside, but that’s it.” Hicks said that to his knowledge, these are the Hicks did not know how to do it himself when he built the first one 10 years ago. He figured it out as he went along and kept testing the houses for safety and maintenance. He has driven trac tors and heavy machinery over them, and they never have gotten a crack, or had a leak or shown any sign of damage, he said. “The concrete just gets stronger as years go by,” he said. “Unlike regular homes, these homes improve with age and will not hit their maximum strength until they are 50 years old.” another log house is built on top of it, facing the other way, and is an entirely different house The two families living there are seldom aware that they are connected by being on the same spot. Inside the Earth Homes, Hicks said, the sea sons are not quite the same as outside becauseot the “fly wheel” effect — the time it takes for the temperatures to penetrate the earth, which is si? weeks to two months behind the weather. Bur they stay cool in summer and warm in winter. The first one was built out of solid concrete, the next out of 12-inch cinder blocks core-pored with steel, and the last with treated timbers. The log house actually is a double-decker — He said the savings in utility bills and insur ance are not the only economical part of the houses. They cost about $20 a foot to ouild ifyot supervise it yourself, compared to more that double that for above-ground brick houses. The houses have two bedrooms and one bath. The underground houses also provide safev during tornado season.
