news for you texas State beaches improve from 2009 An annual report on the state of the nation’s beaches said Texas beaches are slightly cleaner than most. The Natural Resources Defense Council said Wednesday that in 2009, beach closings and advisories in Texas were at the sixth highest level in the 20 years they have been tracked, but the incidents dropped by 27 percent last year.

Husband declares exorcism attempt Jan David Clark, the husband of a Texas woman who suffocated and died while he claimed he was doing an exorcism on her, says he shouldn’t have tried it alone. Clark said in a jailhouse interview that he regrets attempting the 2008 exorcism without help and that a group exorcism would have been more appropriate.

Downtown Conroe features a mural which displays the Lone Star Flag. Montgomery County was officially recognized by the Texas House of Representatives in 1997 as the birthplace of the state flag.

Vernon’s Kuntry Barbecue serves hearty meals such as brisket and tamales, but is also known for its welcoming, friendly atmosphere.

The renovated Crighton Theatre, built in the early 1930s, showcases community productions several times each year.

nation &world Judge partially blocks Ariz. law A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona’s immigration law from taking effect. The overall law will still take effect Thursday, but without the provisions that angered opponents, including sections that required ofﬁcers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws.

BP becomes less British Its chairman is Swedish, a growing chunk of its revenue comes from Russia and its incoming chief executive speaks with an American accent. So goes the Britishness in the company once known as British Petroleum. BP PLC’s appointment of Managing Director Robert Dudley to replace Briton Tony Hayward as CEO has drawn a muted reaction in Britain. Staff and wire reports

Conroe offers comforts of country and city

t first glance, Conroe might seem like any mid-size city flanking the outskirts of Houston, but a closer inspection will show that it is no cookie-cutter fragment of suburbia. It has a history to tell and preserve, and a community that takes pride in its simplicity and typical Texan hospitality. If nothing else, strolling the quiet streets of the charming downtown makes one appreciate the humble beginnings of what is now a bustling commercial area.

Concern over floods cancels reservoir plan

T-shirts support coach’s son

Opponents of a proposed reservoir that would flood thousands of acres of land around the Navasota River are victorious after two water planning groups voted to remove it from the list of long-term plans. Brazos G Water Planning Group voted July 14 to table plans for the building of the Millican Reservoir, canceling the project for the time being. The group’s decision came after the Region H Water Planning Group, which handles water planning for Houston area, voted unanimously to take the reservoir off the plans. City governments and development firms also offered support. “This vote is a major step in the right direction to permanently protect the river and surrounding areas,” said Barry Denton, director of the South Texas Division for Bluegreen Communities. “Area homebuyers can celebrate the preservation of this beautiful land for generations to come.”

The Brazos County Commissioners Court approved a resolution against the building of the project in late April and joined the courts of Madison and Grimes counties, as well as the College Station City Council, in voicing opposition to the project. Plans for the Millican Reservoir called for the flooding of 71,000 acres of land across five counties, an area larger than Bryan and College Station combined. Construction would cost about $1.2 billion and take between 12 to 15 years to complete. The construction of a reservoir in the Brazos area could still happen, but for now, the people who spent months fighting the Millican Reservoir plan are celebrating. “We’re very happy that they saw the light of our argument,” said Robert Averyt, spokesman for the Guardians of the Navasota River. “It’s nice when common sense prevails.” Alec Goetz, staff writer

Logan Schaefer, son of Vic Schaefer, women’s associate head basketball coach and class of 1984, was hospitalized July 12 for head injuries from a wakeboarding accident. C.C. Creations released a “Lift Logan Up” T-shirt to support Logan and is donating proceeds to two medical centers where Schaefer was treated. “Everyone’s thoughts and prayers have been assisting in Logan’s recovery as well as supporting the Schaefer family during these challenging weeks,” said Lina Lawson, co-owner of C.C. Creations. Once Schaefer has made a full recovery he will present checks to the East Texas Medical Center Trauma Intensive Care Unit in Tyler, Texas, and the Institute for Rehabilitation and Research at See Logan on page 2

Museum to feature exhibit on tribe Museum sightseers can encounter a new exhibit starting mid-August at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History. Writer and photographer Diana Molina will present a display called “Raramuri: Runners of the Sierra Madre,” which highlights more than 10 years of research through text, artifacts and photographs.

Molina said she aimed to give visitors an accurate portrayal of the Raramuri peoples, a reclusive tribe residing in the canyons of Chihuahua’s Sierra Madre. Executive director of the museum, Deborah Cowman, said the timing of Molina’s display was fitting. See Museum on page 2

Conroe merges Southern comforts with city fun

here doesn’t seem to be anything remarkable about midsized cities. But no two towns are the same. Today’s case study is Conroe, Texas. We’ll begin by going downtown. I know what you’re thinking — if you’ve seen one Texas city’s downtown area, you’ve seen them all. But I find each store-lined street has its own tales hidden behind the weathered facades. An interesting landmark is the painted mural proudly declaring Montgomery County as the birthplace of the Texas Flag. The story is that Dr. Charles Bellinger Stewart, a Montgomery pharmacist and more importantly, the first Secretary of State for the Republic of Texas, was appointed by the republic’s president to sketch a worthy flag design. While no one seems to know from whom the beloved banner originated, House Resolution 1123, in 1997, declared Montgomery County the official birthplace of the flag. The way I figure it, if you’ve got it in writing from authority somewhere, that’s reason enough to boast. The highlight of downtown Conroe, however, is clearly the Crighton Theatre on Main Street, built by oil tycoon and former mayor Harry M. Crighton to loosely resemble the Majestic Theatre in Houston. He

notably had actor Pat O’Brien — who starred opposite film legends Marilyn Monroe and James Cagney — flown in for Rebecca opening night Bennett in November senior English and 1935. communication Unfortumajor nately, when the novelty of the theatre’s coveted air conditioning wore off, Americans eagerly flocked to drive-in and wide screen theatres. After decades of vacancy, a group of performing arts enthusiasts renovated the Crighton to its original grandeur and popularity. The theatre welcomes audiences several times a year for community productions such as this summer’s rendition of the musical “Annie.” It has even received The Houston Chronicle’s “Ultimate Venue-Outside the Loop” award. “They’ve been through several years of work and renovation to return the downtown area to its previous charm,” said Sean Haughey, senior accounting major. Every Saturday, rain or shine, downtown comes alive with the weekly morning market, which runs

from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors can stock up on fresh produce, admire vendors’ crafts and artwork, all while imagining a simpler, slower time. You’d almost think Atticus Finch could stroll right out of the county courthouse. As you return to reality, you’ll probably realize you’re hungry. Luckily, Vernon’s Kuntry Barbecue on West Davis Street offers a wide selection of satisfying meals from brisket to tamales. “It’s not all about the food,” said Price Peyton, resident of Conroe and student at the University of Texas. “It’s all about the atmosphere. I like that when you walk in, they recognize faces and know your name and what you’re going to order. They’re just real friendly people.” After lunch, I suggest escaping the hottest part of the day at The Woodlands Mall. I know it’s not exactly in Conroe, but let me share a little analogy with you: Bryan is to College Station as Conroe is to The Woodlands. Or something like that. At any rate, we all know that Post Oak isn’t exactly the Mall of America. Neither is The Woodlands, but they do have an Apple Store, Banana Republic and others with less fruit-themed names. When your wallet and your nerves seem to indicate it’s a good time to escape the hordes of preteen mall rats

Memorial Hermann. “The shirts are being developed to show him the community of support he has within Aggieland,” said a C.C. Creations press release. “Due to Logan not being in the position to take visitors at this time because of recovery, this is our way of showing him he is in our thoughts, our prayers and in our hearts as he faces the day-to-day challenges of healing.”

“It is especially appropriate for us to host this exhibit at the same time we have a 5K and 10 mile race, our Buffalo Stampede. These Indians are extremely famous for their running ability,” Cowman said. She said the Raramuri are considered some of the most accomplished natural long-distance runners in the world, covering distances typical of marathoners. The people of the Sierra Madre are not accustomed to exposure to the

She was excited to work with a noted Latina journalist and her research of a culture that is connected intricately to nature. “We are proud to bring this exhibit and hope it will appeal to everyone, especially our local Hispanic community,” she said. The exhibit received funding from the City of College Station through the Arts Council of Brazos Valley, Humanities Texas and the Holt Foundation. Angela Washeck, staff writer
