Ann Richards is encour aging Texas boaters to "Boat Smart" this week in celebration of Texas Safe Boating Week. Terry Erwin, Recreational Programs Coordinator for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, said people need to boat responsibly. "The key to boating safely is to drive the boat responsibly and defensively while obeying all the rules in the Texas Water Safety Act," he said. Erwin said many students are a target for boating accidents because they don't think that boating accidents can happen to them.

Ben Flusch, an official from the Boating Trades Association of Texas, encouraged all people to wear their life jackets. "So many lives may be saved by wearing a life saving device," he said. Children ages 12 and under are required by Texas laws to wear a life preserver. "Always wear your personal flotation device, hold down your speed and keep a sharp look out," Erwin said.
