Dream becomes nightmare
Alleged attacker of volunteer remains at large
DALLAS (AP) — A 16-year-old boy who was coun
seled to stay in school by an “I Have A Dream” volun
teer allegedly stabbed his benefactor during an at
tempted robbery, Dallas police say.
Jo Anne Roosevelt, 51, whose husband is Elliott
Roosevelt Jr., the grandson of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, was stabbed 10 times in the face, chest and
hand, authorities said.
A representative from Parkland Memorial Hospital
was choked with a rope or belt while driving her 1989
Chevrolet Suburban, police said.
The teen whom Roosevelt had helped for three years
then pulled a knife from his coat, stabbed Roosevelt
and grabbed for her purse, police said.
An arrest warrant charging attempted murder has

During the struggle, Roosevelt’s car hit a pole. She
escaped from the vehicle, but the teen she knew chased

given on her condition. She was listed in serious condi

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

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.

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.
