One moment can change your life: Angel’s story When the policeman called for backup, I knew – ‘I’m in trouble’
By Mark Fleming mark.fleming@baytownsun.com
Ten years ago today, an item in the Police Beat column in The Baytown Sun told about a 24-year-old woman who was arrested for aggravated assault in the 1200 block of Miriam following a standoff with police. The woman was in a vehicle threatening to kill herself – the article noted Angel Curry she held a gun to her own head during
part of the standoff. That woman – then Angel Henry, now Angel Curry – visited The Baytown Sun this week to share what came next. “I felt like this would be the end of my new beginning,” she said. Early on, she said, her life was on a good track. She had two children and a
good job working for the federal court. She had never been in trouble with the law. Then things started going wrong. “I was in the middle of a really ugly separation.” The day before her arrest, Curry said, the ex-girlfriend of the man Curry was dating blocked her in so she could
not leave her apartment and turned off her power. Curry, who had her daughter with her, said she was scared and pulled a gun on the woman and the people she had brought with her. The police were called, but Curry wasn’t arrested then. see ANGEL • Page 3A
San Jacinto Waste Pits City to annex subdivisions north of I-10 By Eleska Aubespin eleska.aubespin@baytownsun.com

Company consultant makes case for a permanent cap over Superfund site By Mark Fleming mark.fleming@baytownsun.com
The consultant working for the companies responsible for remediating the San Jacinto Waste Pits Superfund Site was in Baytown Friday to explain why the companies believe the best way to prevent further contamination from the waste pits is to improve the now-temporary cap on the site to permanently seal the buried pollutants in place. David Keith, principal scientist with Anchor QEA, said his company conducted the feasibility study that is now being considered by the Environmental Protection Agency. The remediation report, available on the EPA website, outlines six alternatives for moving forward with cleanup, ranging from the alternative of doing nothing to the alternative of fully removing the contaminated material from the site. Speaking Friday, Keith said he would like to see EPA select what is known in the remediation proposal
as Option 3, which would involve upgrading the existing cap on the site but not removing the toxic materials. Keith explained that there are two impoundment areas in the site, referred to as the northern and southern impoundment. The northern impoundment (actually northwest of the other) is the area closer to Channelview. The southern impoundment, now largely submerged, is closer to the main channel of the San Jacinto River. “Even before there was an order with the EPA,” Keith said, “we went to EPA and said we’d like to stabilize the northern impoundments.” What resulted was a Time Critical Removal Action – an EPA-approved plan to quickly address the issue. Keith said that, despite the name, the TCRA does not necessarily involve removal of the material, but in this case was the installation of the current cap. Usually a cleanup takes place after a full study is conducted.
“Sometimes they’ll do an early action, for instance if there’s a source issue you need to take care of right away.” The objectives, he said, were to 1. Stabilize the site to withstand a 100-year flood event 2. Prevent direct contact with materials 3. Prevent direct contact with water or land organisms 4. Make the temporary site consistent with whatever long-term solution might be selected. The current cap is referred to as an “armored” cap – the fabric and membrane that seal in the material are then protected by layers of rock. The design of the cap, he said, is built to standards provided by the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers. “The key thing is that you want to put material out there that is going to stay and be stable,” Keith said. “You don’t want something that’s going to see PITS • Page 3A
Plans are in the works to build a 300 single-family home subdivision north of Interstate 10, between North Main and Sjolander Road. Also planned, as part of the development, is commercial property fronting Wallisville Road. Baytown City Council has agreed to begin the annexation process of the 81.5-acre site. Annexation is being requested in order to extend city utilities to the site, which is owned by Nasir Panjwani, president of South Houston Realty Co. Panjwani submitted the request. “There is a number of housing developments going through the process now and this is just one of them,” Baytown Deputy City Manager Ron Bottoms said. Down the street is a separate proposal to build a subdivision at the northwest corner of Wallisville and Garth roads. Council also approved
the annexation and rezoning of that property for a 490-home subdivision and commercial center at the 114-acre tract. With annexation into Councilman Brandon Capetillo’s District No. 3, the city can extend utilities to the property. Following the vote on annexation, council then rezoned nearly 112 acres from an Open Space/Recreation District to a General Commercial District and a Mixed Residential at Low to Medium Densities District. According to the applicant, Sowell Wallisville Partners, L.P., that plan would also include a commercial center, possibly with a convenience store and gas station. South of I-10, a developer who wants to turn the Goose Creek Country Club and its golf course into a single-family development is also going through the process to get it done. That developer, Meritage Homes, has sought rezoning for 132.5 acres and wants to see city • Page 3A
5 inches of rain in week This week’s thunderstorms brought nearly 5 inches of rain to Baytown. So far, Baytown has received almost 8 inches of rainfall this month. Statewide Texans got more rain in May (4.03 inches) than normal, and June is on track to also surpass its normal of 3.44 inches. Texas is in better shape drought-wise when com-
pared to 2011, the state’s driest year ever. More than 72 percent the state was in exceptional drought, the driest category, at the end of June 2011. May and June are the state’s wettest months in Texas. Now come the dog days of summer, which forecasters are saying won’t be nearly as hot as 2011. — Christopher James

WWII vet celebrates 90th birthday at museum By Christopher James christopher.james@baytownsun.com
George Tolleson, a veteran of World War II, celebrated his 90th birthday with his family at the Baytown Historical Museum. Tolleson, who is originally from Jefferson, pulled tubing and rods out of oilrigs for repairs before being drafted into the Army Air Corp., which was the predecessor to the Air Force, at the age of 23. He joined the fifth bomber group and was assigned to the 294th squadron as a nose gunner for a B-24 Liberator for two years during the war. After being drafted, Tolleson was separated according to the results of the many vigorous tests the Army applied. “They gave me a lot of tests, including aptitude,

“I moved here in 1948 and started working Humble Oil,” Tolleson said. “At first I worked in the fields and monitored what people breathed at sites. Then I worked in the lab for 36 years, where I learned a lot about safety.” Tolleson retired after 38 years with Exxon and stayed in Baytown, where he raised his two sons, Blair and Bradford. “George was always appreciated of his employment with Exxon, which influenced Brad,” Tolleson’s daughter-in-law, Susan Tolleson said. “George had never had the benefits that Exxon had given him when he was in Jefferson.” Blair, his eldest son, owns his own electronic business in Austin, while Bradford works at LyondellBasell.

Tolleson said. “It all depended on whether there was hostility or not.” Tolleson was a part of 13 missions in different parts of the pacific. One of the most difficult operations was a mission to Republic of Formosa, what is now known as Taiwan. “We flew to Formosa to target warehouses, which were heavily fortified with artillery,” Tolleson said. “We would throw a role of foil out of the plane that was used as a decoy for artillery.” After his two years of service, Tolleson moved back to Jefferson to work for the Texas Pacific Railroad. He moved to Baytown after realizing that the railroad was going to have him move to lower Louisiana.

REL Class of 1956 summer lunch July 10 The Class of 1956 of Robert E Lee High School will host its Summer Luncheon on Thursday, July 10, 2014, at 11:30 a.m., El Toro Mexican Restaurant, 5810 Garth Road, Baytown TX. Join us as we celebrate our many years of friendship with good food, fellowship, and door prizes! REL graduates from all classes are invited to attend. Please contact Jeannie Holladay Gordon, jgordon@ swbell.net, or Barbara Nethery, bunethery@aol. com for reservations or information.
“While I was in Harlingen, we trained by flying up the Gulf of Mexico looking for submarines, which were just ships that had sunk,” Tolleson said. “We also trained by flying low and shooting at targets. Sometimes, women pilots would fly B-26’s while pulling tow-targets behind them as we shot at them.” The B24 that he flew in, held a total of 10 men, which included the pilot, co-pilot, navigator, bombardier, nose gunner, ball turret gunner, upper turret gunner, tail turret gunner and two waste gunners. Operations could last anywhere from 5-17 hours according to the extent of the mission and by how much fuel they were holding. “On long missions the only seats we had were in our turrets and we weren’t always sitting in them,”

Service League of Baytown
By Mark Fleming In the mid 1960s, waste from a p aper mill in Pasadena was taken by barge to a landfill on the shore of the San Jacinto River just north of the Interstate 10 bridge. That waste contained dioxins or furans – a family of toxic substances. According to an Environmental Protection Agency fact sheet, the toxins are not manufactured deliberately, but are a byproduct of other processes, including the bleaching of wood pulp for paper production. Dioxins are also produced when wood or other fuels are burned. Dioxins are both toxic and cancer-causing. They are a particular environmental problem in that they stay in the environment a long time, with very little breakdown. Further, they are not very soluble in water. This means that when diService League of Baytown members Hope Novosad and Deborah George accept a donation from Ken Elliot of Elliot Motor Co. for their upcoming 49th Annual Charity Ball, OZ to be held Oct. 18 at Union Station.

He then served on the Texas State Board of Education six years, served the board of Visitors for Texas A&M University at Galveston, the Gulf Coast Water Authority and was a founding member of the Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association. Vice President of the Association of Former Students, Kathryn Greenwade said that Holbrook is exemplifies what Texas A&M is about. “Texas A&M has six core values that are very important to us. Excel-

Meritage has said the homes will range in price between $200,000 and $400,000. Up to this point, the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended the zoning change for the Goose Creek Country Club property. The item must now go in front of city council for action.

Since the inception of the award in 1962, only 237 out of 410,000 alumni have been recipients. The selection of candidates is determined with a nomination process, which is due in early October of every year. A selection committee then meets in February that is comprised of individuals who are appointed by both the association of former students and Texas A&M.

things like that.” “We design the cap materials to resist erosion based on those storm events.” Keith said the companies prefer the option of enhancing the current armored cap not only for its lower cost, but also for the risks associated with removing the material. “It has been effective since its completion,” Keith said. Also, he said, the latest improvements mean it is designed to be capable to withstanding a 500-year flood. According to the report on the EPA website, the cap enhancement option has an estimated cost of $2.9 million and about a

The next day, Curry said, her ex-husband refused to return her children to her. She called the police, she said, but was told it was a civil matter. “That same gun was in my car that day,” she said. “I sat in front of the house. When the Baytown police came, they were asking me to get out of the car.” “I kind of felt like my whole life was just crashing,” she said. “The only thing that I still had was my kids.” “That police officer called for backup. When they called for backup, that’s when I knew, ‘I think I’m in trouble.’” When her family arrived, her mother saw an ambulance. “My mom called me on my cell phone,” Curry said. “She told me, you’d better do something. There’s an ambulance here, and it’s not for them.” Charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, Curry took the advice of her court-appointed attorney and pled guilty to a lesser charge of deadly conduct and went into the Harris County Jail on a 10-month sentence. Five months into that sentence, though, she got into a fight with another inmate and then with a jailer who intervened. While Curry still denies hitting the jailer, she was sentenced to five years probation for assault on a public servant. “My attorney advised me the safest way to stay
oxins are introduced into water, they tend to settle and bond to sediment, where they get into the food chain. Once in the body, they accumulate in fatty tissues and stay in place, as they do not break down quickly or dissolve for removal from the body. Over years, land subsidence and damage from sand mining operations allowed water to flow freely in and out of the former waste dump, introducing dioxins into the upper Galveston Bay environment. Dioxin has been found in several species of fish and shellfish. The site was listed as an EPA Superfund site in 2008. A temporary cap was placed over the site in 2011, preventing further releases into the river and preventing direct human contact. According to the EPA fact sheet, monitoring since that time has shown the cap, made up of layers of geotextile and geo membrane as well as
Even worse, he said, breaking the integrity of the current seal for nearly two years would leave it vulnerable to river or hurricane-related flooding. He also pointed to the environmental, safety and traffic impacts of the construction itself. The cap enhancement option, according to documents, would require about 750 hours of equipment operation, compared to 15,500 hours of equipment operation for the removal option. Also, he said, the cap enhancement option would require about 260 truck trips – the full removal option would require about 18,600 truck trips. “There’s real risk associated with removal operations,” he said. “There are unintended consequences.” While the responsible
companies are encouraging the cap enhancement alternatives, some local environmental groups and politicians have taken the other position. Texans Together and the San Jacinto River Coalition hosted an event to highlight the release of a study by Texas A&M University Galveston professor Dr. Sam Brody predicting potentially catastrophic results if the site were hit by a storm surge. Also, U.S. Congressman Gene Green has asked the EPA to select the full removal option, as has Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan. Currently, he said, both the EPA and the Corps of Engineers are working on evaluations of the project. Ultimately, it will be up to the EPA to determine which solution to use.
home with my kids was to plead ‘no contest’ and take the probation that would be taken off of my record,” Curry said. “I got into a really, really deep depression. Especially coming back to Baytown, because the article that was put in The Baytown Sun – everyone that knew me thought that I was a loony bin.” “My biggest thing was the fact that I was being judged. No one considered that I was still human, that I was still a mother. I stayed in a deep depression with that.” Even that, though, wasn’t the end. She was jailed again for a criminal mischief charge while on probation. “That 90 days that I sat in Harris County Jail once again, I knew that when I got out of jail I had to redirect some things.” “When I came home, I went to Crosby to my mom’s home.” There, she got a job, thanks to a cousin who was a manager at a Whataburger – a long way from the kind of job she’d had before. “My first paycheck was $78.” “At that time I decided to get back in school.” “I completed my studies at San Jac North Campus and transferred to Texas Southern University,” Curry said. “I tried applying jobs. My resume looked wonderful, but the fact that I had a criminal history, no one wanted to hear this sorry, sad story and give me a chance.” “Assault-type crimes has
to do with everything, because you’re working with people,” she said. “I had a really hard time with that.” The Houston-area Urban League, where Curry did her community service hours for probation, offered her a job after the probation hours were completed. “That was my first real job after all this,” she said. “Of course, my confidence got back up and stayed there.” “While at the Houston-area Urban League I worked with offenders. Those offenders were just like me – trying to do the same thing: come back home, get back on their feet, mothers trying to get their kids back and just trying to make a living.” “That’s when I became really passionate about working with offenders.” “My job at the Houston-area Urban League led to me working for Houston Works, basically doing the same thing, and now for Goodwill Industries of Houston.” “People know the stores, but they don’t know the workforce development program behind that.” With Goodwill, she works with the FEXO program – Finding Employment for Ex-Offenders. “June 25 of last year, the program had 12 ex-offenders re-integrated back and working toward employment,” Curry said. “After 90 days of me being there, 123 ex-offenders were then employed or put in some type of training.” She also works with her own organization helping ex-offenders to re-integrate into society (H.O.P.E Advocacy Foundation). She works with such traditional needs as job training, GED preparation, interview preparation and skills development. Also, she said, many ex-offenders need ways to update their skills they haven’t used while incarcerated. “It’s a jungle in there, really. There’s no professional skills that you come out with.” “Time stops for them when they go in,” Curry said. “But, of course, it keeps moving here. Things are changing and laws are
changing.” Curry also advocates for laws to be changed, she said, to make it easier for ex-offenders to find work – and to find alternatives to prison. “When offenders come home, they can’t find a job. If you have any type of drug conviction you can’t apply for any type of food stamp benefits. You can’t get an apartment in your name.” “Recidivism is so high because it turns into survival – you’re taking away the main things people need to live.” Curry said she see how she could have been pulled into being a recidivism statistic herself. “I worked really hard to try to not only make sure I get my education and get a degree. Everything looks really good on paper, but when an employer runs a background check, those things come up.” “December 2013 I graduated from Texas Southern University with a bachelor’s in public affairs and a minor in political science. Immediately after graduation I got accepted into the grad program where I’m working toward my master’s in public administration with a concentration in public policy.” Curry is married again and has gotten around the difficulty in renting by building a home in Bay River Colony. She now has her daughters back and said she talks with them honestly about her own history. “Life is a hustle. It’s just learning to re-direct your hustle and hustle another way.” “My education – my confidence – my hustle – my faith. No one can take those away from me.” “Ten years ago I didn’t have the confidence that I do now. I don’t think I even had the strength then that I do now, and even the passion.” “I now that I was a very judgmental person when it came to offenders and people with criminal backgrounds, and now I’m on the other side. You never know what one moment and one decision can do to change the whole scope of your life.”

The slope at the edge of the cap was made less steep. The EPA will make the final decision on what remediation strategy will be used. The cost of the work is being paid by International Paper and Waste Management. While neither company was involved in the original dumping, the Pasadena paper mill and McGinnes Industrial Maintenance Corp., which operated the pit, were each sold to companies that were ultimately acquired by International Paper and Waste Management, respectively. In addition to the EPA action, the companies are also being sued by Harris County in connection with the waste pits.
two-month construction time. The full removal, and construction of a new cap to seal in the remaining sediment, would cost $104 million to $636 million and take 18 to 20 months of construction. “It’s not a clean procedure,” Keith said of removal. “It’s not a surgical removal in a waterway environment.” The removal process, he said, would release significant levels of dioxin into the waterway under the best of circumstances. The current level of dioxin in the water is about 1 part per trillion, and would increase to 10 parts per trillion to 11 parts per trillion during removal efforts, he estimated. That dioxin would soon find its way into the sediment.

A duty to speak up Goose Creek CISD board’s self-imposed gag order aims to sidestep accountability Elected officials have a duty to speak their minds on issues and policies. If they do not, how can voters judge their effectiveness as elected officials? Unfortunately, most Goose Creek CISD school board members adhere to a policy in which only the board president speaks publicly on behalf of the board. Board members refer inquiries from the media Have no fear ... to the president. Or worse, “The communication opt to let the district speak avenue for employees of for them. the district is the GCCISD Board members are accountable to students, email. We receive and read taxpayers and voters, not all emails and address them the district or any of its accordingly. For someone to think that they would officers. The board needs to lose their job for communispeak their mind inde- cating with board members pendently of the superin- is absolutely not true!” Jimmy Smith tendent. GCCISD board presiMoreover, the self-imdent posed gag order sends jimmy.smith@gccisd.net the message that board members do not want to howard.sampson@gccisd.net deal with critics or answer agustin.loredo@gccisd.net ken.martin@gccisd.net tough questions. Can you imagine the vicky.melo@gccisd.net Texas Legislature or U.S. daniel.blackford@gccisd.net Congress adhering to such jenice.coffey@gccisd.net a policy? The point is that the public has a right to know what the school board is thinking about local education issues … such as teacher morale, the mass migration of principals, assistant principals, teachers and other personnel, the purchasing of a $14 million building and more. Out of respect for the voters who put them in office, board members must address Goose Creek’s pressing concerns. So far, however, the majority of the board is opting for a controlled message in a self-serving effort to remove themselves from accountability. The upside to the board’s maneuver is that it makes finding the “yes-men” easy. Don’t forget that fact when the school board elections come around in May next year. Remember, no matter what policy or action is embraced by this school board, ultimately they answer to you on Election Day.

Summer school pop quiz Summer or not, our school of local history never takes a break. It’s time for another pop quiz, and if you do well on this one, you can treat yourself to a cool popsicle. 1. Name two five-and-dime stores on Texas Avenue and one on Market in old Baytown. 2. Name two business places in old Baytown that had the name “Humble.” 3. Identify the name “Grenader” in local business. 4. What was the original name of North Main? 5. What was the original name of Harbor Drive? 6. What was the original name of Huggins Street in old Baytown? 7. When the Harris County library branch closed on Texas Avenue, where did it relocate? 8. Who was the earliest known medical doctor in Baytown? 9. Who settled the community of Cedar Bayou? 10. The city of Pelly had a small library. Where was it located? 11. Name the oldest hamburger restaurant in Baytown. 12. The oldest Mexican restaurant? 13. Name two local radio stations that went on the air in the 1940s. 14. Name two popular beaches back in the old days. 15. Who was the first principal of Ross S. Sterling High School? The answers are: 1.

tively. They were part of a nationwide chain of stores while Wainscott, the five-and-dime store in old Baytown, was locally owned. In addition to its entrance on Market, Wainscott had a back door facing
Minnesota. 2. Old Baytown was home to the Humble Waffle Shop and the Humble Bee Grocery store. 3. Grenader was the name of two locally owned super markets, one on North Main and the other on Minnesota. They were bought out by the Weingarten grocery chain. 4. North Main used to be called Goose Creek Street. 5. Harbor Drive, prior to consolidation of the Tri-Cities, was Main Street in Old Baytown. Goose Creek and Pelly already had Main streets – that was the main problem. 6. Texas Street in Old Baytown was changed to Huggins to avoid confusion with Texas Avenue in Goose Creek. 7. The original Goose Creek library on Texas Avenue – a branch of the Harris County library system -- located to a small frame building on Bayway Drive in the Wooster area after Sterling Municipal Library opened in 1963. Bill Shewell continued as librarian at the county branch but her assistant, Eva Rae Collier, transferred to the city, joining the Sterling Municipal Library staff. 8. Harvey Whiting opened his
medical practice in Baytown when Texas was still part of Mexico. His home and medical office were located on Market near the present-day Bicentennial Park. Numerous descendants of Whiting still live in Baytown. The streets Harvey and Whiting are named after him. 9. Christian Smith, a member of the Stephen F. Austin colony, was Cedar Bayou’s first settler with a land grant from the Mexican government. Many of his descendants still live here. 10. The Pelly City Hall on West Main once housed a small library. 11. Someburger on Decker Drive is the oldest burger business in Baytown. 12. Donnelly’s restaurant on North Commerce traces its roots to Pace’s, which gained local fame for its tamales and chili. 13. KREL on Decker Drive and KRCT on the banks of Cedar Bayou at Kilgore Road were local radio stations that started in the 1940s. The call letters of KREL referred to Robert E. Lee while KRCT stood for Refining Center of Texas. The Baytown Sun was the original owner of KREL and had a small broadcasting booth in its building on Pearce at Ashbel. 14. Evergreen Beach on Tabbs Bay and Hog Island on the ship channel attracted swimmers and picnic-goers. 15. Winnie Brown was the first principal at Sterling.

letter to the editor
GC teacher: ‘Totalitarian leadership of this district is draining its life blood’
I continue to have great concerns about the decisions and directions of our district. I am confident there are literally hundreds who feel the same way although the majority of board members might not agree. Attached is my letter sent to each board member on June 20. (Names of current employees I listed have been deleted for privacy.)
Dear GCCISD School Board Members, Let me begin by saying that I do appreciate your service, and I definitely grasp the challenge of your job. I realize that each of you has a vote with every board issue, and I thank those who think and vote independently. However, this letter addresses the board as a whole regarding decisions because that’s what affects us all. I continue to be so disappointed with our district, and I am truly in a conundrum as to what in the world is hoped to be accomplished with sweeping mass change. True, case by case moves are necessary, but there is wisdom in the timeworn adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Was Dr. Cavazos hired to come in and clean house including the “forced” removal or retirement of many talented people from our district? We continue to hear that he is “doing exactly what the board wants.” Is he? Are you directing him to demote and/or get rid of various individuals, or is he acting single-handedly? What are we to assume with the recent large pay raise and extended contract? I have watched in dismay with many decisions, but the past week’s activity compels me to speak publicly. Mr. Wahl has an excellent record with the district for the past 20 plus years. I have worked with him the past two years at GCM, and he was a good principal bringing us together and always focusing our efforts on the students. Then days after being named Secondary Principal of the Year, he is demoted. Yes, demoted is the correct word. Administration obviously knows that this is the informal way to usher him out of our district, and most likely GCCISD will soon lose another talented person. I could give a long list of names of good employees that we’ve lost to other districts the past two years, but you see Letter • Page 5A MANAGEMENT

The face of GOOTs it is a changing Maybe it was time for a makeover. Not that the group wasn’t near-perfect already. So minus fanfare, and without formal invitations issued, the famed men’s social eating assemblage, the Gathering Of Old Toots (GOOTs), began to grow, if not prosper. One by one, new faces started showing up at Luby’s for the weekly convocation. And Tuesdays at the local eatery began to take on a slightly different feel. What I’m trying to say in a more dignified way than I normally do – think Joe Biden here – is that GOOTs is on the move. While no formal membership offers have been made, our group is on the cusp of major expansion. If you need reminding, which you probably don’t, our well-respected organization was formed 14 years ago by former Ganders baseball coach Gary Herrington, who also reigns as club potentate. The two latest candidates seeking GOOTs membership status are Henry Adair and Gene Smith. More on them momentarily. The group’s enlargement trend actually began more than a year ago when Woody Walker, the super-successful Rangers basketball and golf coach, joined our powerhouse lineup, albeit without a formal invitation. Woody was the first new member in a decade. But he didn’t arrive quietly. He immediately caused a stir among GOOThead brethren by saying he couldn’t abide by the $1-per-member tip we were leaving for Luby’s waitstaff.

much as the blessing or approval of membership, he announced that the rest of us could do what we pleased, but he was leaving $2. We had no othJim er option but to finley follow suit, lest we look like stingy-cats (remember that term?). Thusly, if 8 or 9 of us show up, it can be a nice payday for one lucky waitperson. (We’ve heard there have been mild dustups among Luby’s employees over who was going to serve us, but we can’t confirm that.) Not surprisingly, then, despite his short tenure, Woody was recently named “Most Popular GOOT” in a secret vote taken amongst waitstaff. Although poorer, we love Woody, anyway. Personally, I can understand why others would want dine with such a distinguished group each week. We’re smart, interesting, and, for the most part, stunningly attractive. The majority of current GOOTees have career backgrounds in education – mostly in coaching and administration. Pretty high-falutin’. To top that, however, three of us proudly claim the label of journalists. This, of course, adds believability and trustworthiness. Prestigious members besides Gary, Woody, and myself personally, are George Crow, Leo Hechler, Michael E. Finley, Jepp Busch, Don Treuhardt, Ed Denny, and Associate Member Carl Thesis. I’ll admit the group is struggling

over what to do about Ed, who has the worst attendance record in GOOTs history. We keep hoping he will start attending regularly again, but if not, we may have to take some drastic action against him (excommunication?). Hopefully it won’t come to that. (NON-EDITOR’S NOTE: I would be remiss if I didn’t mention two deceased and much-beloved former members, Pete Sultis and Joe Frank Robins. We miss them and savor the many hours we spent with them.) That brings us to Henry and Gene. Henry was a Gander footballer years ago, then played at Sam Houston State. He later became a power player in Barbers Hill high society. Henry can always be counted on to offer cogent and concise comments regarding whatever subject we’re discussing. (Just like the rest of us.) Quiet and reserved compared to the other GOOTs, Gene is the famous football referee. He has officiated more than a thousand high school and college games, including multiple state championship and allstar contests. Fortunately, he hasn’t thrown a penalty flag at our meetings yet. I believe both men are worthy of membership. But I’m just one vote. Whatever happens, Gary is responsible. He created this growing monster in June 2000. Happy anniversary, GOOTers!

should know the facts better than I. May’s cancellation of next week’s board meeting by the superintendent seems to have been the premeditated and pusillanimous way to avoid public outcry of the planned mass moves thus hoping it will die down during the weeks before the July 14 board meeting. My concern is that the trend does and will continue. Who’s next? (Specific names listed)...? We understand that some have already been told that this will be their last year here. I can tell you for a fact that teacher morale is at its lowest. Teachers are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs and/or administration just making their lives miserable. If the board took an honest poll of GCCISD’s experienced educators, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who believes this district is doing well. Its vital signs continue to deteriorate. I have been warned by others who have been here much longer than my short, seven years not to speak up and to stay under the radar if I don’t want personal repercussions. But I’d rath-
er speak up than witness the current goings-on and have to live with myself for remaining silent. This district used to care about employees, people were treated decently, employees were encouraged to be team players from top to bottom, input was valued, and justified reasons were given when change was necessary. Not any more … the totalitarian leadership of this district is draining its life blood as good employees are leaving at an accelerated rate. Two years ago I was humbled to be named the district’s Secondary Teacher of the Year, and I have given my heart and energy, excited to work as hard as needed for opportunities for my students and my campus. Now, I am more sad than angry as I write this, and I am not proud of GCCISD as a whole. We still have many outstanding educators, but for how long is the question. The board as a whole has not acknowledged obvious symptoms, misdiagnosed the problem, and continues to allow incorrect treatment for a critical situation. I pray someone wakes up and has the gumption to make the change that’s really needed before it’s too late. Debbie Himsel Baytown

The celebration will begin on Thursday, July 3 at 6 p.m. with a performance by 4 Barrel Ramblers and Ryan Guidry, followed by headliner Kansas taking the stage at 8 p.m. The fun continues on Friday, July 4, beginning at 5 p.m. The annual July 4th Parade down Market Street and Lee Drive kicks off at 5:30 p.m., then get ready for some homegrown country music as local favorite Breelan Angel takes the stage at 6 p.m., followed by opening ceremonies at 7:30. The evening heats up as headliner Montgomery Gentry hits the stage at 8, but the fun isn’t over when they’re done. Starting at 9:30, patriotic music and an incredible firework show end the day’s festivities with a bang. Music and fireworks aren’t the only things

Dos and don’ts of fireworks Love it or hate it, warm weather seems to beckon neighbors out of hibernation and incites a desire to set things on fire. When cooking over an open flame doesn’t satisfy that desire, many take to shooting off bottle rockers and whistlers. But fireworks can still be dangerous, and not everyone is equipped or legally allowed to ignite fireworks. Therefore, to avoid potentially dangerous injuries, fines or arrests, it pays to follow these fireworks dos and don’ts. DO find out if fireworks are legal in your area. If you have to travel over state lines or into another country to purchase fireworks, there is a good chance you are not allowed to use fireworks in your community. There are many regulations regarding the sale, transport and use of fireworks, so be sure you’re not breaking any laws before buying any fireworks. DON’T buy fireworks from just anyone. You want to ensure you are purchasing them from a reputable retailer of legal fireworks. DO check any safety guidelines and warnings on the wrapper of the fireworks before lighting them. DON’T light fireworks near people, trees, homes, or any combustible materials. DO keep a fire extinguisher or water hose nearby in the event of a fire. The National Fire Prevention Association notes that the Fourth of July features more reported fires than any other day of the year. DON’T forget that sparklers and firecrackers are no safer than other types of fireworks. The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of more than 1200 F, which is hot enough to cause third-degree burns and is hotter than the temperature it takes
to melt glass. DO leave fireworks to the professionals to avoid injury or fire. DON’T light more than one firework at a time. DO wait 15 to 20 minutes after lighting a firework to see if it has ignited. If not, dump the firework in a bucket of water and move on to a fresh firework. DON’T let small children handle and light fireworks. DO make every attempt not to store fireworks. If you purchase them, use them all up. However, a cool, out-of-the-way place may suffice for a day or so. DON’T have any part of your body over the firework when lighting it. Try to use a lit stick or butane lighter to keep as far away as possible. DO say no to alcoholic beverages when lighting fireworks. Your perception and dexterity can be compromised by alcohol. DON’T shoot fireworks off in windy conditions. Otherwise, make sure the prevailing wind is blowing away from the audience. DO wear eye protection when lighting fireworks. DON’T shoot fireworks off of uneven ground. To ensure stability, always light them on a hard, flat and level surface. DO use common sense at all times when in the presence offireworks. DON’T assume pets and children will enjoy the loud noises. Make accommodations for a quiet respite. DO make sure spectators keep their distance. They should be 25 to 40 feet away from ground-based items and even further for aerial products.

Special to the sun Lamar State College-Port Arthur catcher Kenady Magouirk has been named an All-America softball player by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. The NFCA tabbed Magouirk, a freshman from Robert E. Lee High School, as a first-team pick on its All-Midwest Region team and awarded her a spot on their All-America third team. “I think it’s a great honor for her,� Seahawks Head Coach Vance Edwards said. “She’s a Magouirk good kid – a typical student-athlete: She goes to class, works hard at practice and is a team leader. She’s the one who’s going to pep everybody up in the dugout. She’s always cheering, always encouraging. She deserves this award. I’m very proud for her.� Magouirk is the third player in the program’s 10 seasons to garner All-America honors. Shortstop Christina Jaques was a third-team All-America pick by NFCA in 2008 and outfielder Mallory Koschany earned second-team NFCA All-America honors in 2012. “I definitely wasn’t expecting that at all,� Magouirk said of the news. “It’s such a big honor. I’m super excited.� Magouirk finished her first NJCAA season ranked third on the team in slugging percentage (.475), fourth in batting average (.311), doubles (seven) and fifth with 12 RBIs. Academically, she made the Dean’s list, and she was chosen for her team’s Dr. Sam Monroe Excellence Award for combining classroom and athletic performance with team and school spirit. “I had to split playing time with a sophomore, so the time I got to play, I really gave it 100 percent,� she said. “Whatever happened, happened. When the bases are loaded with two outs in the seventh inning, you’ve got to do something. Coming through for your team, that’s what it’s all about.�

He said even though the Rangers have knocked off district rival Channelview the last two seasons, he still expected to see them posted ahead of the Rangers. “We have been picked to finish last the past few years,” Sutton said. “It doesn’t matter that a man writing a magazine picks us last. We believe in ourselves.” There has been a renewed since of hope at Sterling since Gareri was hired in December, replacing Troy Aduddell, who won only three games in his three-year tenure.

So far, our summer workout program has been very tough, but hopefully it will help us get the results we are looking for.” Sterling will return four starters on both sides of the ball this fall, including leading rushers DaJuan Hill and Elijah Chenier. The Rangers also return their linebacker combination of Sutton and Walker Wheeland. Defensive end Tristan LaChappelle also returns after being named a second-team all-district performer last season. “In this offseason we have done everything and gave everything we had so far,” Hill, who rushed for a team-high 620 yards, said. “Everyone will be shocked when they see what we have on the table this upcoming season.”

Opportunities at IMPACT
New principal this year, new $14 million building next year By Susan Passmore Special to The Sun
The first graduating class from Goose Creek CISD’s IMPACT Early College High School walked across the stage at Lee College to receive their high school diplomas. For some of the 89 graduates, this was not the first time they had received a diploma at Lee College. A few weeks before, many of them were handed diplomas for earning associate degrees from Lee College, and others will complete the requirements for their associate degrees this summer. Three IMPACT students received their associate degrees from Lee College in May 2013 – a full year before they graduated from high school. Pablo Chavez, Azalia Sprecher and Alondra Uribe completed the requirements for their associate degrees early, graduating from IMPACT June 5, 2014. “IMPACT ECHS targets first generation college goers with the goal of allowing them the opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma in one hand and a college diploma in the other hand,” said Dr. Salvador Cavazos, superintendent. Four years ago, the first 100 students began their classes at Lee College after Goose Creek CISD arranged a lease option with Lee College. With the increased enrollment at Lee College, the district realized that this would be a temporary solution. The next year, portable buildings at the Peter E. Hyland Center were used for some IMPACT ECHS classes, and students were shuttled back and forth between the Hyland Center and Lee College. As a result of the Facilities Condition Assessment report and long-range facility planning, the need for an Early College High School was established. The school was part of the original bond proposal, but to reduce the burden of the bond, the district decided that a new building would be funded through the General Fund Balance. In October 2013, the Board of Trustees authorized design and development of ECHS by PBK architects, and Marshall Construction Company was approved in April 2014. For the upcoming school year, the students will attend high school classes at the Peter E. Hyland Center, and transportation will be provided to Lee College for their college classes. Laura Reyes, former teacher, assistant principal and academic dean at Robert E. Lee High School, is taking the reins of IMPACT ECHS as principal. Starting her 20th year with the district, she also taught at Ross S. Sterling High School. Reyes grew up in Baytown, attending St. Joseph Catholic School, Lee High School and Lee College before transferring to Texas A & M University. She worked at Lee College from 1991 to 1995. “I am so honored and excited to have the opportunity to serve as the principal of IMPACT Early College High School. IMPACT provides an amazing opportunity for the students of Goose Creek CISD. I hope to carry on the success that IMPACT has had, and I look forward to adding to that success,” said Reyes. “In the short time I have been at IMPACT, I have had the pleasure of meeting several students, some faculty members, and our school’s staff members. Everyone has been so welcoming, positive, and helpful; it is clear that they have a passion for what they do and
reveal a state of the art facility, including a cafeteria/ commons area that seats 500 and an administrative wing with a separate building for the 18 instructional classrooms, including science labs with technology to allow the students to compete in the 21st century. While they are a little disappointed that the new building will not be completed before they graduate, seniors Keyshawn Battle, Karina Patino, Kendy Campa and Freddy Martinez are pleased to be seniors at IMPACT and are diligently working on their college hours this summer, planning to complete their Photo by Susan Passmore associate degrees by May IMPACT Early College High School seniors, from left, Freddy 2015. “This is a great opporMartinez, Kendy Campa, Karina Patino and Keyshawn Battunity for me.

“It is definitely more rigorous. At the end of the six weeks, the heat is really on, and if you want to make the honor roll, you have to push yourself to get there,” said Patino. Campa admits that she struggled her freshman year. She was not accustomed to the higher level classes and was relieved that she had support from faculty and staff members to help her get through her high school and college classes. Campa plans to become an ESL teacher in the Baytown area. She was in the bilingual program until the 3rd grade, and her brothers also received Bilingual/ESL support, so she helped them with their studies. “The best thing about IMPACT is the way we’ve all gotten along and are so close to each other,” said Campa. “We help each other—we’re like our own little family.” For Martinez, who wants to be involved with law enforcement, IMPACT has been life-changing. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not many people get offered the chance to take college classes during high school and to
earn an associate degree before graduating,” said Martinez. “As an 8th grader, it was a difficult decision to make about whether to stay with my friends or to take this opportunity. I knew this would benefit me in the future.” All four of these students have appreciated the efforts that have been made by the faculty and staff members to allow them to have some high school experiences. Clubs and organizations, such as IMPACT Gives Back, which gives students the opportunity to volunteer at nursing homes and raise money for Relay for Life, and dances throughout the year help the students connect with each other and with their school. The school is divided into three houses, and students are randomly assigned to a house. Friendly competitions among the houses also increase school spirit. As the IMPACT seniors travel from Peter E. Hyland Center to Lee College, they will be able to see the progress of the buildings even though they won’t attend school at the new IMPACT. The Class of 2016 will no doubt be glad to give them a tour.

LITTLE BIDDY BITS Q&A time anyone? “Brother Danny, I have a question?” said Joel, a second grader from our church. “Go ahead, Joel.” I replied. Then came this rather deep theological question from the Old Testament. I answered him as best I could, then inquired where he came up with it. He said, “I’ve been reading First and Second Samuel.” I said, “Well that is great, Joel! When do you find the time to read your Bible?” Without any hesitation he replied, “During your sermons!” He may not always be hearing what his preacher has to say, but at least he is listening to what the Lord has to say. “Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11) Danny R.

I’ll admit in my life I’ve done many exciting things from spotlighting in Nashville and Hollywood to traveling to over twenty countries. Nothing has been more exciting in my life than knowing Jesus and making him known. I’m so excited about my salvation, and his healing touch in my life. I’m overwhelmed at His goodness and awesome power. Thank God, I’m saved, healed, and spirit-filled! The Lord gloriously changed my life nearly forty years ago, and I promise you, you’ll never catch me playing possum in church again.

DON’S DAILY PARABLE: IT’S ALWAYS HILLY The one thing that I love about going to Willis to see my brother Paul, is making the drive down 830 toward the west off of I-45. It is not all that long, but it is a beautiful drive. It is very hilly and you can look ahead of you and see these really low points in the highway, then beyond that, you can see the hill going way up. It is just gorgeous. I suppose that I love that kind of landscape so much because I have always lived in Baytown and it is so flat that you have to push a marble off the street to get it to go anywhere. It will just sit there forever. That’s why I love places like Colorado and Wyoming. I love the mountains and the valleys. I guess I like it because it’s different. When we see scenic views like those in Colorado and Wyoming, Pat and I are always commenting to each other how nice it would be to wake up to that view every morning. Then, I tell her that we would probably get used to that after a while and never even notice the beauty of it. On a section of Bayway Drive, here in Baytown, there is
a really pretty winding road that’s right near the entrance to the ExxonMobil Chemical Plant. When I would drive don down it, I cunningham would just pretend that Cedar Bayou I was someBaptist Church where else, and it would really become so beautiful. What do you think it would be like to live in a place where all the roads were downhill? For one thing, you would soon wear your brakes out, but the other is that you would never get to use the power of your 350 horsepower engine you paid big money for in your car. How about if you lived in a town where there was nothing but uphill roads? You would probably wear your engine and transmission out within a couple of years. How do you think your life would be if it was all ‘downhill’? What if you had every-
thing easy all the time? If your life was spent just coasting downhill every day, you would never use the power that God gave you to deal with troubles in your life. And certainly, your life wouldn’t be good if every day you would struggle with an ‘uphill’ battle of some kind. If every hour of your day included troubles and trials, you would soon wear yourself out physically and mentally. God didn’t create your body to constantly suffer day after day. God created ‘hills and valleys’ in our lives so that there would be a balance between good times and bad times. After days or months of being in the valley, we will be able to appreciate being on the mountain top. If we experience being on the mountain top for several weeks or months, we get used to it and there is no more joy associated with it. God knows what we need to keep us dependent and worshipping Him. It’s best that it’s always hilly and we can appreciate the ups and downs. God bless you.

What that means today is not trying to rule over In Ephesians 4:11-13 Saint Paul tells us that His Church as our selfish natures would have us to “[He] gave the apostles, the prophets, the evange- do, but to humbly seek His will and do it.

At Faith church, every 5th Sunday we have lunch after church. At our last 5th Sunday Luncheon we had a Style Show for the Thrift Store that we sponsor through Church Women United. After the Style Show we heard about another outreach of the Church Women United, the Child Care Center that offers affordable child care for the children of Lee College Students. Claudia Pacheco, the director, came and shared jim about the school and the children. It is a gill wonderful ministry to the children and their Faith parents. For over a Presbyterian year I’ve been going there most Thursday afternoons to sing with the children there. I was also privileged to attend and sing for their graduation ceremony last month. After hearing Claudia’s presentation, one of our elders, Joe Wilson, invited Claudia and me to come make a presentation to the local chapter of the Lions Club. I shared one of my songs and again Claudia shared about the Child Care Center. At that luncheon the Lions offered to take care of the eye exams for all 16 of their graduating students that need to have eye exams before they can go to kindergarten. At that luncheon there also was a representative from the YMCA who offered to provide backpacks for all 16 of the graduating students. After that luncheon, one of members of the Lion’s Club, (not Joe) invited me to provide the entertainment for their annual banquet at the Monument Inn this last Tuesday night. At that same banquet not only was Joe Wilson inducted to be the President of the Lion’s Club for next year, but another one of our members, Garry Nelson was given the highest honor given to a member of the Lion’s Club, The Melvin Jones Award For Humanitarian Service. I not only got to have a free steak dinner and witness Garry and Joe receiving acclamation of their peers, I also won a door prize, a gym bag. (Is that a hint?) I share this with you to point out how some of the members of our church are having an impact in our community. I am so thankful to be working with a community of Faith that takes their faith outside. I love that this week’s Vacation Bible School Mission project is Habitat for Humanity. When I mentioned this at the Banquet on Tuesday night, the Lions spoke up and said that they had built one of the recent Habitat Houses. Amazing! You know what is really amazing? A good number of the children at this year’s Vacation Bible School are either current or former students or older sisters and brothers of students at the Child Care Center that is partly funded by the Thrift Store that presented an opportunity for me to meet Lions that got free eye exams and backpacks for graduates that got me an invitation to get a free steak dinner and a gym bag and learn that Lions also build houses for Habitat for Humanity, which happens to be our Mission project for this year’s Vacation Bible School whose theme is a Workshop of Wonders (WOW) WOW! By the way, at church this Sunday some of the children from our Vacation Bible School will be singing and sharing as a part of our worship service. Guess what? This Sunday is another 5th Sunday! After church we’re having hamburgers and a homemade ice cream contest. I can’t wait to see what surprises will come from this 5th Sunday Lunch. I hope this week’s column illustrates for you that I disagree with Walt Disney. It is NOT a small world after all. It’s a Big Family.

Puzzle Solution
The first sentence of “1984” by George Orwell is, “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking 13.” When you bid to a grand slam, there is normally not much point in counting losers, because you cannot afford any. You might as well only try to find 13 winners. In this deal, which 13 tricks should South hope to take in seven hearts after West leads the diamond three? The bidding had a modern tinge. South’s four-club rebid was a splinter, showing at least gameforcing values with a singleton or void in clubs. North then control-bid (cue-bid) his diamond ace, which East doubled to ask for a diamond lead. And South optimistically took a shot at all of the marbles. Outside hearts, South has six winners: four spades, one diamond and one club. He could rely on the diamond finesse and try to take six trump tricks. But East’s double strongly suggests that that finesse will fail. Instead, declarer should play for seven trump tricks. But which seven? South should use dummy’s winners 6/29/14 toSUNDAY remove East’sMORNING trumps and take Channelruffs C in SLhis6:00 three hand.

Usted puede presentar comentarios públicos adicionales o pedir una reunión pública sobre esta solicitud. Usted puede presentar comentarios públicos o pedir una reunión pública sobre esta solicitud. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. El propósito de una reunión pública es dar la oportunidad de presentar comentarios o hacer preguntas acerca de la solicitud. La TCEQ realiza una reunión pública si el Director Ejecutivo determina que hay un grado de interés público suficiente en la solicitud o si un legislador local lo pide. Una reunión pública no es una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso. OPORTUNIDAD DE UNA AUDIENCIA ADMINISTRATIVA DE LO CONTENCIOSO. Después del plazo para presentar comentarios públicos, el Director Ejecutivo considerará todos los comentarios apropiados y preparará una respuesta a todo los comentarios públicos esenciales, pertinentes, o significativos. A menos que la solicitud haya sido referida directamente a una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso, la respuesta a los comentarios y la decisión del Director Ejecutivo sobre la solicitud serán enviados por correo a todos los que presentaron un comentario público y a las personas que están en la lista para recibir avisos sobre esta solicitud. Si se reciben comentarios, el aviso también proveerá instrucciones para pedir una reconsideración de la decisión del Director Ejecutivo y para pedir una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso. Una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso es un procedimiento legal similar a un procedimiento legal civil en un tribunal de distrito del estado. PARA PEDIR UNA AUDIENCIA ADMINISTRATIVA DE LO CONTENCIOSO, USTED DEBE INCLUIR EN SU PEDIDO LOS SIGUIENTES DATOS: su nombre; dirección; teléfono; nombre del solicitante y número del permiso; la ubicación y la distancia de su propiedad/actividad con respecto a la instalación; una descripción específica de la forma cómo usted sería afectado adversamente por el sitio de una manera no común al público en general; y la declaración “[Yo/nosotros] solicito/ solicitamos un/a audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso”.

Después del cierre de los períodos para los pedidos y comentarios, el Director Ejecutivo enviará la solicitud y los pedidos para reconsideración o por una audiencia administrativa de lo contenciosos a los Comisionados de la TCEQ para su consideración en una reunión programada de la Comisión. La Comisión otorgará solamente una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso sobre los hechos reales disputados del caso que son pertinentes y esenciales para la decisión de la Comisión sobre la solicitud. Además, la Comisión sólo otorgará una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso sobre los asuntos que fueron presentados antes del plazo de vencimiento y que no fueron retirados posteriormente. Si ciertos criterios se cumplen, la TCEQ puede actuar sobre una solicitud para renovar un permiso para descargar aguas residuales sin proveer una oportunidad de una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso.] ACCIÓN DEL DIRECTOR EJECUTIVO. El Director Ejecutivo puede emitir una aprobación final de la solicitud a menos que exista un pedido antes del plazo de vencimiento de una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso o se ha presentado un pedido de reconsideración. Si un pedido ha llegado antes del plazo de vencimiento de la audiencia o el pedido de reconsideración ha sido presentado, el Director Ejecutivo no emitirá una aprobación final sobre el permiso y enviará la solicitud y el pedido a los Comisionados de la TECQ para consideración en una reunión programada de la Comisión.
