Weather Fact Climatological Forecast - A weather forecast based upon the climate of a region instead of the dynamic implications of current weather, in essence, a type of statistical forecast. Regardless of how well I understand the three dimensional distribution of moisture, pressure, temperature and wind plus all the dynamics that continually occur, I cannnot extrapolate those conditions forward in time with reasonable accuracy for more than four or five days, at which point I “stop talking weather and start talking climatology." Prepared by: Charlie Brenton Staff Meteorologist A&M Department of Meteorology Police charge man with shooting officer • Music* Books •Movies •Video •Music* Books* BEAUMONT (AP) — A man was arraigned Wednesday on one count of capital murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a Beaumont po lice officer, authorities said. Bail for Michael Lee Lockhart, 28, was set at $1 million, said Justice of the Peace Harold Engstrom, who conducted the arraignment. Lockhart identified himself as be ing from Toledo, Ohio, but law en forcement authorities were working to verify his hometown, Judge Engs trom said. Tuesday night’s fatal shooting of Officer Paul Hulsey, 29, was the sec ond shooting death of a police offi cer in Southeast Texas in two days. Hulsey w'as shot once in the chest with a .357 Magnum at 7:10 p.m. at the Beaumont Inn-Best Western Motel on the city’s northwest side, where he had the man under sur veillance, Lt. Ed Woodsmall said. Lockhart was arrested without in cident after a taxi in which he was riding was stopped at a bridge on In terstate 10, about 40 miles east of Houston, Capt. Wayne Pullen with the Texas Department of Public Safety said. Deputy Chief Jack McCanne said Hulsey, an undercover narcotics in vestigator, had earlier spotted a man believed to be a drug dealer and fol lowed him. But he could not keep up with the suspect’s car. Hulsey, son of former Orange Po lice Chief Paul Hulsey, later spotted the car in the motel parking lot, Woodsmall said. Officers checking on Hulsey found his body in a motel Beaumont firefighters and para medics treated the seven-year vet eran at the scene before taking him to St. Elizabeth Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. After broadcasting the vehicle’s description, neighboring Orange of ficers spotted it and gave chase through the city into West Orange, about 20 miles east of Beaumont. The suspect was involved in a traffic accident and the driver fled into some woods on foot, Woodsmall said. A pistol was found in the car, offi cials said. The suspect was believed to have hitchhiked back to a Beaumont res taurant, where he flagged down the taxi, Woodsmall said. I Fiscal fitness The best thing about Plantation Oaks isn’t the $10/month membership to Aerofit. Or the on-site facilities like jacuzzi, two pools, men’s and women’s weight rooms (each with a sauna), tenn courts, basketball and volleyball courts. The best thing about Plantation Oaks is that you getallthi and more for as little as $170 a month this summer. That’s fiscal fitness.
