Snake!
Research Park director advises visitors
not to fear potential snake encounters
By JANET HOLDER
The Battalion
People suntanning at Research Park may be
afraid when they see a snake swimming
through the water.
But John Millhollon, director of Research
Park, said the snakes living there
pose no threat to park visitors. "We've had snakes at Research Park for

"The plain-bellied water snakes are non-
poisonous snakes that eat fish primarily," he
said. "The snakes often edge streams and
ponds looking for food.
"These snakes also bask in the sun to regu
late their body temperature," Cathey said.
Cathey said if people see a snake they are

animals ... people should keep their I J tr r
pets out of the water and on a leash
to ensure their safety," he said.

Control Service said, the majority of
snakes in that area are water snakes.

afraid of, they should try to identify it. The
Audubon Field Guide to North American Rep
tiles will identify most snakes.
But McEwen said people should not try to
capture the snakes, especially if they don'l
know what kind of snake it is. If a snake is
trapped or grabbed it may try to at
tack.
"The Research Park is kept clean
and the grass is cut short so the
snakes should be able to see anj
people coming toward them aril

medical facility.
"Water moccasins are the only water snakes
that might be there that would be poisonous,"
he said. "There are also land snakes that
might be around Research Park such as the
rattlesnake or copperhead."

and Fisheries, said he has seen only plain-bel-
McEwen said people shouldn't worry about
snakes disturbing them because snakes usually
avoid people.
"Most snakes will go away if a person or
animal approaches them," he said.
Water moccasins might be more aggressive
during mating season, but McEwen said they
mate in the spring so this should cause no
problems to summertime park visitors.
"You can often tell if the snake is poisonous
by the bite marks," he said. "The poisonous
snakes have fangs so they leave a differenl
mark than a non-poisonous snake.
"But even if the snake isn't poisonous, it's
still good to get medical attention since the bite
could cause infection," McEwen said.
He said the best way people can deal with
snakes is to leave them alone.

Special to The Battalion
In the summertime many peo
ple think of beaches, barbecues
and boats. But, do we think of
our eyes? Our eyes need protec
tion from the sun during all of
these outdoor activities. Many
people do not realize the effects
of the sun's rays on their eyes un
til later in life when problems oc
cur.
Here are some tips when pur
chasing sunglasses. Look for
sunglasses that block as much ul
traviolet radiation (UVR) as pos
sible and at least 75% of visible
light. UVR coat is the protective
coating on most sunglasses that
protects eyes from damaging
rays.
The glasses will usually have
a percentage telling the buyer
how much Tight is being filtered
by the lens, via reflected, refract
ed and absorbed. Coating does
have its disadvantages. It
scratches easily, isn't very
durable and it's expensive.
Look for sunglasses that fit
Health Tips
Summer is time to select eyewear
that does more than just look cool
your different activities. For gen
eral purposes look for medium to
dark tinted lenses for use in any
outdoor activity.
For special purposes, very
bright light environments such as
skiing, tropical beaches and
mountain climbing, use dark
lenses. For cosmetic purposes
such as shopping and other
around-town uses, use lightly
tinted lenses.
Look for sunglasses that block
part of the blue light. Most glass
es that block 75% or more of
UVR block out blue light. Brown
or amber tinted lenses block blue
light the best.
Plastic lenses are better than
glass, because they absorb more
light. If you happen to scratch
the outer lens, don't be alarmed,
the coating is placed on both
sides of the lenses to protect your
eyes.
Also, look for sunglasses that
let you identify colors. You
should be able to distinguish
traffic light colors with your
glasses on. Gray and green col
ored glasses are least distorting
to people. Amber and brown
produce some color distortion.
Purple and blue tend to distort
too much.
Look for sunglasses that don't
distort shapes, Tines and vision.
Gradient lenses (darker at the top
than at the bottom) are useful for
driving, since they let you see the
dashboard more clearly.
Sunglasses should also he
large enough to keep the light
out from above, below and the
sides of the frames.
They should fit comfortably.
You should wear sunglasses out
doors, on sunny days and even
in the wintertime.
Your sunglasses should also
fit your budget. The name
brands will be more expensive
but you can get an adequate pair
for under $10 per lens with pro
tective coating.
Make sure your sunglasses are
durable. Glass lenses don't
scratch as easily as plastic, bui
they do break; therefore, plastic
lenses are best for most people.
Mirrored lenses offer the most
protection because they defect
the rays, but again, they scratch
more easily.
You should see an eye care
professional for sunglasses if you
nave had cataract surgery, which
removes the eye's U v-absorbent
lens, you're taking a drug that
increases your sensitivity to UV
(such as tetracycline), or your
sport or occupation keeps you
outdoors much of the time, par
ticularly in locations where sun
light is reflected off sun, sand or
snow.
Protecting your eyes by wear
ing sunglasses can make a differ
ence down the road. If for no
other reason, it's the cool thing to
do because "shades" are in!
Schedule regular eye check-ups
and keep those eyes healthy.
