PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Vicente Carrizales
Greetings everyone,
I have enjoyed my travels across the state. It has been my honor to represent TWUA and participate in the association’s training mission. To confirm, it’s a long way from Beaumont to Amarillo. Following Beaumont, Abilene, the First week of May, and Arlington, the third week. Then there is a couple of weeks’ break, then Killeen.
One thing I’ve noticed in my travels is that regional events have their own distinct personality. I must commend the various boards. Good job on the oversight of these training events. The other thing I’ve noticed is that the operators and attendees truly seem to take their jobs seriously.
For those who have not experienced TWUA live in-person training events, these gatherings offer the perfect opportunity to connect and share information with fellow operators. Discussing products and asking questions is invaluable. Bottom line, if you still have training budgets that need to be spent, TWUA provides an excellent way to assist you. One of my most memorable training experiences is making connections and building trust among operators in my area. That is just one reason why I believe attending the monthly district meetings and supporting the in-person training opportunities is so great.
The annual TWUA Mid-Year Board and Regional Conference will take place on June 25th in Pflugerville at the Courtyard Hotel. If you cannot attend this
meeting, I would like to hear and relay your thoughts on “in-person training.” Please email me or make the Central Office aware of your position, concerns, and praises. Better yet, come to Pflugerville in June for the two association meetings.
Has anyone viewed the reports linking plastic particles in humans to bottled water? It has been suggested that plastics can act as endocrine disruptors. Plastics mimic hormones, potentially leading to fertility and developmental issues. Additionally, plastics are associated with cellular inflammation. Chronic exposure to certain plastics is considered carcinogenic. I will be the first to admit that I have used bottled water, but I try not to make it a habit. The bottled water concept is based mainly on the Convenience Factor. In some cases, the water in the container originates as tap water. The other fact that I find curious is that if you bottle and sell the product in the same state, there is little oversight. Don’t take my word for any of this; do your own research and let me know if you change your mind about bottled water.
Don’t forget to introduce yourself if I see you at a TWUA function.

Father, we acknowledge and bow our heads in respect as we humbly say thank you, and acknowledge that you are the creator. We take comfort in knowing that You remain in charge and in control of life as we understand it. We need You, and we welcome You in all we do. We come into Your presence seeking Your grace, calm, guidance, and forgiveness. Father, we pray for Your mercy, and we ask that You guide, direct, protect, and bless TWUA and its members. Father, thank you as we offer praise in the name of Jesus. Amen
The drought remains a concern in parts of Texas. Parts of Texas are getting rain, but some watersheds remain dry. In West Texas, Lake Spence sits at 15.6 % (- 0.2 %). White River is sitting at 28.6 % (+ 14.0 %). Panhandle - Lake Meredith is sitting at 42.7 % (+1.9 %), and Greenbelt is at 10.0 % (+ 1.1 %). If you want a complete look at current lake levels, go to waterdatafortexas.org. The drought has never left for some.
TWUA Award Nominations – We are confident that you know someone who deserves recognition. If you go to the TWUA Website and hover your mouse over the Annual School Tab. A dropdown tab labeled Awards will appear. Click on the awards tab. You should be directed to an Awards Page. Scroll down, and you will see category descriptions and Submit a Nomination. This should direct you to a fillable form where you can enter the nominee’s information. The Central Office staff feels this award nomination process will be intuitive and easy to follow. The deadline for all award submissions is May 31st 2025.
The summer is upon us, and Regional Training Opportunities for live, in-person training events are available across the state. As of this writing, we have visited Amarillo, Beaumont, and Abilene, and we are planning to
be in Arlington the week of May 19th. If none of these school dates match your schedule, how about Killeen the week of June 2nd? Longview will be the week of August 19th. The regional boards and officers do a great job of facilitating the various live events. It is an excellent environment for asking vendors about products and making contacts.
The TWUA Central Office continues to receive calls related to Resiliency. It seems that the TCEQ has made a change to their website, which is causing users who log in to their training records to find a box labeled 'Resiliency' at the beginning of the information. For some, this box is autofilled and displays NO. Operators who have completed the Resiliency Overview commonly believe that they have not received their training hours for a resiliency class they attended. Is this true for you? In a follow-up with TCEQ, they indicated that as long as the Resiliency Overview is listed among the training credits when you scroll down, the NO designation should not trigger a deficiency letter. Again, a NO designation in this box does not mean that the training credit is invalid or that it has not been credited. Please scroll down your training credits and check to see if the Resiliency Overview is included as a training credit.
There is little doubt that live, in-person instructor-led training is more effective. For those seeking Live InPerson Operator Training – TWUA would love to come to your workplace and provide this in-person training. If you have a meeting room and will help market to those in your area, contact Norma Clark (n.clark@twua.org), and she will assist with the details and arrangements. Please look at the TWUA Training Calendar (twua.org/training) and take a look at 2025 schools. As soon as the dates and school fliers are available, they will be posted.
If the Arlington school dates conflict with your schedule, Killeen might be an alternative option. The dates for the Killeen school are June 2nd – 5th. The Central Texas Board welcomes your participation, and the Killeen facilities are great.
107th Annual School – will occur in Waco, September 9th – 11th 2025. As the Central Office firms up the events, watch TWUA.org as the final details are released.
Save The Date - Mid-Year Board and Regional Conference, June 25, 2025 – Courtyard Pflugerville. For more information, go to TWUA.org, then hover your mouse over the Training Tab, Click on Regional Conference, or call Central Office.
The Story Goes Something Like This –
A professor at the local university lectured about priorities. He asked the class for input on the elements or traits important to life. After a spirited debate among the students, the professor challenged the class to identify the five key distinguishing traits of life.
Everyone agreed that the essential areas of life include Health, Family, Friends, Spirit, and Job.
The professor then said, “Now consider that four of the traits are balls made of glass, and one ball is made of rubber.”
The class debated and quickly agreed that the rubber ball represents your job. While health, family, friends, and spirit are very fragile, should you neglect or drop one of them, they will be irreversibly damaged or even shattered.
The following is a breakdown of the traits.
Health – the foundation of a fulfilling life. Includes mental, physical, and emotional health.
Family – Shapes our values. Provides love, support, and a sense of belonging. Family provides our emotional safety net in difficult times.
Friends – Provides companionship, laughter, and shared experiences. They enrich our lives with diverse perspectives.
Spirit – Refers to our inner worlds. Things such as beliefs, purpose, and a sense of peace of mind. It can be rooted in religion. Helps to guide our actions and respond to challenges.
Job – Provides structure, purpose, and financial security. It can be a source of pride and fulfillment. Contributes to our identity and social status.
A well-balanced life usually involves nurturing each of these traits in harmony. Neglecting one trait often affects and impacts the other traits.

FOUR MINDSETS THAT CAUSE ACCIDENTS
Job site safety is an ever-present issue that is a constant threat in any environment and any walk of life. The greatest way to prevent accidents is to train people on how to reduce the risk to zero or how to put controls in place that will limit the possibility of an accident. Workplace mishaps can be dramatically reduced with the correct mindset and attitude by recognizing four common errors that open the door to injury:
1) Rushing
Employees often feel constant pressure to complete tasks as quickly as possible so that they can move on to the next task or finish the day early. Rushing reduces the quality of workmanship and increases the chances of not following the correct safety steps to complete tasks. Accidents increase on Fridays, holiday weekends, or when jobs are behind schedule. It’s important to remind employees that working safely is the priority, even if it means finishing the job later.
2) Frustration
Frustration is a mindset that almost everybody experiences at some point in life. Having the right tools to manage frustration and turn negatives into positives is key to being able to avoid accidents and injuries. Creating a workplace that prevents frustration from developing is key. Employees can get frustrated with poor procedures, bad communication, wrong or insufficient materials, and problems at home. Not all situations can be managed and controlled, but hiring employees who can control their emotions is a valuable practice for any company.
3) Fatigue
Fatigue greatly reduces production and performance. A tired
driver is said to be as dangerous on the road as a drunk driver, which illustrates the dangers of fatigue. It is very important to identify when a worker is fatigued to take the correct course of action. A great danger in hotter climates is heat stress, which causes fatigue and can result in death. Having heat stress safety plans is an essential training topic for all workforces. To avoid fatigue, employees should not overwork or work overly long hours. Corporations have to set realistic deadlines and attainable goals for employees.
4) Complacency
Complacency can be the most dangerous mindset that results in an injury or accident. The first step to an accident involves the false belief that experience makes you invulnerable. Accidents can happen to anybody at any time, and one’s senses should always be finely tuned to each situation’s risks. A false sense of security is the result of poor training and following bad practices, which leads to accidents. Management needs to be quick to intervene when boredom results in complacency. These mindsets can cause or contribute to critical errors, which increase the probability of injury:
· Eyes not on task
· Mind not on task
· Walking into the line of fire
· Losing balance, traction, or grip

TIME IS PRECIOUS. USE IT WISELY.
By Amber Kodish Govloop
Time is our most limited resource, yet it’s the one we most often take for granted. We plan for promotions, vacations, and retirement, but rarely do we plan how to spend our time today.
How many times have you said, “I don’t have time for that” or “I’ll do it later”? But more often than not, later never comes. Whether it’s work, home, friends, family, hobbies, vacations, or simply getting through your to-do list, we push things aside in the name of being “too busy.” But when exactly will there be time — if not now?
We often treat time as though it’s infinite. But in truth, it’s the one resource we can never get back. What if we thought of life as a carefully laid out Project Plan? It might help us see not just how time passes, but how we can better use it.
The Stages of Time
Let’s view our life in five key project management phases: Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Controlling, and finally, Closure.
1. Initiation: The Wonder Years
This is where our project (aka our life) begins. At this early stage, we define life at the highest level, full of possibility. As children, we have no concept of time. We dream of what we might become. There are no responsibilities, just curiosity and joy.
2. Planning: Setting the Path
As we grow, especially during our teens and early adulthood, we begin forming goals. Think of graduating from high school or college as the formal kickoff. We now have a goal in mind with a general schedule: What career do we want? Where will we live? What do we want to achieve? There’s both excitement and fear. Getting that first job is Milestone #1, a thrilling and uncertain step into the plan.
3. Execution: Building the Life
As our careers and lives progress, we transition from continued on next page
continued from previous page
planning to execution where doing becomes the focus, not just dreaming. Tasks are being assigned and completed. We may be advancing professionally, getting married, starting families. Life becomes a balance of work and home, deadlines, and dinner table discussions. We are “doing” but not pausing.
4. Monitoring and Controlling: Guiding the Team
As time progresses, we enter a phase of oversight. Careers are established, and we may take on leadership roles, managing teams, and mentoring others. At home, we may be empty nesters or caring for aging parents. Time feels like a scarce resource. We’re tracking progress, adjusting course, and trying to maintain quality: both in work and in life.
5. Closure: Retirement
Eventually, the project comes to a close. Retirement marks the end of formal deliverables. We’ve achieved our achievements, handed off our knowledge, and hopefully created a life we’re proud of. But even in this stage, time matters deeply: It becomes more precious, not less.
Time Allocation: When Do We Stop?
In each of these life phases, it’s easy to tell ourselves we’re “too busy.” We say, “I’ll take that trip after the kids grow
up,” or “I’ll start painting again once I retire.” There’s a hurry in our minds to finish each stage quickly. We wait for the “someday.” But more often than not, someday never comes. Each new phase brings new demands, not fewer.
You may assume you’ll have time later. But later has its own list of obligations. Even when you reach the monitoring phase, the demands don’t disappear. At work, you’re needed as a mentor. At home, aging parents or growing families pull you in new directions. The statement “I don’t have time for that” creeps back in.
When Is the Right Time?
Now is the time. Make the time. Find the time. No matter what phase you are in, there is time. There is no day better than today. Who knows what tomorrow brings, but today you can make the change.
Make the time. Find the time. Own your time. Call the friend you’ve been meaning to reconnect with. Pick up the hobby you loved but left behind. Take the vacation you’ve postponed again and again. Spend more intentional time with family. Think about your career strategically, not just tactically.
Time is not something we find; it’s something we choose to make. Life doesn’t pause so we can catch up. It moves forward with or without our attention. Whether you’re just starting out, deep in your career, or approaching retirement, the truth remains: The best time to live is now.
