Latest oil spill in Galveston Bay
threatens seafood commerce
HOUSTON (AP) — A fishing ban
that began Thursday in Galveston
Bay, a massive shipping port and the
home to sensitive wildlife marshes,
threatens a multimillion-dollar sea
food industry.
The Texas Department of Health
banned harvesting of all aquatic life
from the bay because of possible
health threats from a 500,000-gallon
oil spill from a tanker-tug collision.
“We’re all just hanging on by our
teeth,” said C.L. Standley, immedi
ate past president of Professional In
volvement of Seafood Concerned
Enterprises. “It’s the w’orst timing
that could have occurred and the
worst place.”
Galveston Bay is the home or
breeding ground to shrimp, crabs,
oysters, speckled sea trout, redfish,
flounder, endangered sea turtles
and other marine life.
It is the nation’s seventh-largest
estuary system and part of the Envi
ronmental Protection Agency’s spe
cial estuary program.
Endangered birds such as piping
plovers and brown pelicans and de
clining species like reddish egrets,
snowy plovers and a number of he
rons, egrets and ibises also live at the
bay.
“We have every major species that
winters in the south in the Galveston
Bay system,” said David Hankla,
field supervisor for the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service. “It’s a special
spot.”
The bay’s commercial fishing in
dustry generates $240 million an
nually, and its recreational fishing
industry generates $170 million an
nually, Hankla said.
Before Saturday’s spill, bay
shrimpers were operating on a lim
ited schedule between the spring
and fall seasons and averaging $200
to $300 a day per boat, Standley
said. Shrimpers were preparing for
the Aug. 15 start of the fall bay sea
son, when boats average $500 to
$1,000 per day, he said.
“Everyone’s very frustrated, very
angry and very scared because a lot
of them have their whole life’s work
on the line,” Standley said.
With Galveston Bay closed, fish
ing boats wall have to move to other
gulf inlets or out to the gulf.

HOUSTON (AP) — A Greek tanker captain on
Thursday blamed a pilot for a tanker-barge collision
that started an oil spill into Galveston Bay, and also said
the pilot told him to lie about the accident to authori
ties.
Capt. Nikolos Fioratos testified in the second day of a
federal inquiry into Saturday’s collision between the
tanker Shinoussa and two barges. The wreck resulted in
a 500,000-gallon oil spill into the bay.
Fioratos said Houston pilot Raymond Fincher or
dered the Shinoussa to travel too fast through the chan
nel. Later, Fioratos said Fincher told him to tell authori
ties that the accident happened because the ship
channel was too narrow.
When U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Robert Douville
asked Fioratos whether he thought Fincher was sug
gesting the captain lie, Fioratos said, “That’s correct.”
Pilots are not affiliated with ships but are used to
guide vessels between ports and open seas.
Fioratos said Fincher ordered the Shinoussa to travel
at 14 knots.
“I questioned him, but he requested more and more
speed,” Fioratos said. Although he could have reduced
speeds, Fioratos didn’t want to argue with the pilot. “He
told me he needed the speed to maneuver, so I gave it.”
Fincher, who is not scheduled to testify until Friday,
disputed Fioratos’ claims outside the hearing room. He
said the vessel was traveling “a little over 10 knots.”
Fioratos and his helmsman, Mohammad Haque, both
blamed Fincher for directing the vessel into the oncom
ing barges. But Fincher maintains Haque did not follow
directions and “put the rudder the wrong way at a crit
ical time.”
Douville said,“There is a disagreement about
whether or not the helmsman responded to the order
the pilot had given.”
The collision occurred as the Shinoussa and another
tanker, the Hellespont Faith, passed each other going
in opposite directions in the Houston Ship Channel.
The Shinoussa veered off to the right to avoid getting
caught in waves from the Hellespont, Fioratos said.
Then, Fioratos said, Fincher told the helmsman to
turn back left.
It was then that the Shinoussa crew was able to see
the barges, towed by Apex Towing Co., behind the Hel
lespont Faith, Fioratos said.
Fincher and Fioratos then gave the order to reverse
directions “hard rudder right.”
After the collision, Fioratos said Fincher blamed
helmsman Haque for turning the wrong way.

Girls open cafe for summer projec
ODESSA (AP) — For Krystal and
Kessley Baker, opening a restaurant
was this year’s summer project.
The girls, ages 11 and 9, seem to
find something intriguing to do al
most every summer with the help of
their creative gramdmother, Carol
Baker. “We’re quite adventurous,”
Mrs. Baker said.
Past summer projects included
building a train out of appliance
boxes for an imaginary trip to Dis
neyland and staging a wedding. But
this year’s project involved more
than imagination.
The idea was spawned during a
backyard cookout at Gramdma’s last
spring. “One day we were cooking
hot dogs, and we said, ‘Hey, let’s
open a little cafe and invite friends
and family,’ ” explained Krystal.
But like many Baker productions,
the idea went far beyond the inspira-

tion stage.
“The next time they came over, I
told them we’d have to make plans,”
the grandmother said. “So we drew
up a little blueprint and built a scale
model.”
The building, a small gazebo, was
put together by the girls’ father,
Daniel, but not before getting per
mission from the city. “We went to
City Hall,” said Carol Baker. “I
wanted them to realize that you have
to follow rules. You can’t just do
whatever you want. It was an eye
opening experience.”
The next meeting involved menu
planning and choosing a name for
the restaurant. “We had a list of sev
eral names, including KK’s (for the
girls’ combined initials), but the Ka
leidoscope Kafe won.”
Menu planning followed, accom
panied by a trip to the grocery store
to see how much the venture would
cost. After several more business
meetings, the enterprise hired
neighbor Jennifer Cornell as a wait
ress, made up Kaleidoscope Kafe T-
shirts, and opened its doors for two
days last weekend. It was a roaring
success..

from the
DALLAS (AP) — State mental health officials
are questioning the Department of Public Safety’s
ruling that a mentally retarded man — found
hanged with his hands tied behind him — died
accidentally in a bizarre sex act.
The DPS report concluded that Tommy Phil
lips, 36, rigged a noose, stuffed a sock in his
mouth and tied his hands behind his back to in
crease his excitement during the act.
Texas Department of Mental Health and Men
tal Retardation officials said Wednesday that
they don’t believe Phillips had the mental capac
ity to undertake the act.
Phillips lived in a state group home when he
was found in the back yard of the Waxahachie-
area home in January. State employees said he
had an IQ of 34, about the mental capacity of a
kindergartner.
“I think that we will question it (the finding),
and if our questions aren’t answered satisfactor
ily, we will pursue whatever options we may have
open,” Mel Hughes, an assistant deputy commis
sioner with MHMR in Austin,said. “I find it hard
to believe that their conclusion is the final one.”
Ellis County Sheriffs Department officers and
the Texas Rangers, which conducted parallel in
vestigations, said they stand by their finding.
Hughes said he told investigators from the
outset that he didn’t believe Phitlips was capable
of setting up the elaborate sexual act. The act in
volves masturbating while restricting oxygen to
the brain. Called sexual asphyxia, it occasionally
causes accidental death when the noose is fash
