WINNIE (AP) — A conflict over
beer sales at the Texas Rice Festival
has several pastors calling for a boy
cott of the gospel sing, and at least
one minister wants the entire festival
boycotted.
The festival, which begins Mon
day, will offer beer sales for the first
time in its 21-year history while pro
hibiting the expected 100,000 rev
elers from bringing their own alco
holic beverages.
Organizers say they hope the rule
change will control the rowdiness
that has worsened in recent years as

Clean-up efforts successful
in Houston Ship Channel
GALVESTON (AP) — Nearly
30,000 gallons of partly refined
crude oil that spilled in the Houston
Ship Channel is evaporating quickly
and the area is considered safe, the
U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday.
Coast Guard Cmdr. Frank
Whipple said flights over the spill
site about four miles north of Texas
City showed the solvent reformate
that leaked into the waterway “was
dissipating quickly.”
“The spill is all gone,” he said
Sunday, adding cleanup efforts had
been completed.
Authorities were awaiting the re
sults of tests to determine if toxic lev
els of benzene found in the reform
ate could contaminate private oyster
reefs in Galveston Bay.
Texas Department of Health sam
pled the barge cargo, bay waters and
shellfish to determine whether any
bans on fishing or shellfish harvest
ing were warranted. They said test
results would be available Monday.
The petroleum product was
spilled into the ship channel Friday
"I think we’re a little
luckier on this one
than we were on the
last one.”

Texas water commission
chairman
night when a Norwegian tanker that
suddenly lost power rammed one of
two barges being towed toward the
Port of Houston.
The barges have been taken to a
shipyard and unloading facility in
Houston. The 538-foot tanker, the
Bow Panther, was anchored in Gal
veston Bay Sunday and undergoing
a damage survey. The tanker sus
tained a 12-foot-long crack in the
bow upon impact, authorities said.
“I think we’re a little luckier on
this one than we were on the last
one,” Texas Water Commission
Chairman B.J. “Buck” Wynne III
said, referring to a July 28 spill of
700,000 gallons of crude oil just five
miles from Friday’s spill. “We’re not
going to see any shoreline impact
from this, in my opinion.”
The July 28 spill involved the col
lision of the Greek tanker Shinoussa
and two barges. The crude oil that
leaked into Galveston Bay caused a
temporary shutdown of sport and
commercial fishing.
Sheriff’s wife arrested
Abortion protesters block doorways,
talk to women; police arrest 19 people
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — The wife of Nueces
County Sheriff James T. Hickey was among 19 anti
abortion protesters arrested over the weekend, authori
ties said.
Jan Hickey was taken into custody on charges of
criminal trespass and aggravated assault for allegedly
kicking arresting officers during Saturday’s protest at
an abortion clinic, police said. She was released on a
$100 personal recognizance bond.
The Hickeys could not be reached for comment Sun
day by the Associated Press because they have an un
listed telephone number.
The sheriff is strongly opposed to abortion and has
said he wouldn’t order his officers to remove anti-abor
tion protesters from clinic doorways, the Corpus Christi
Caller-Times reported.
Police Cmdr. Don Dixon estimated that 120 to 150
Body of Christ Rescue protesters were at Reproductive
Services Saturday morning. Some members of the anti
abortion group blocked doorways, while others tried to
talk to women who had come to the clinic for abortions
or other services, he said.
Arrests began about 7:30 a.m. and continued for two
hours, Dixon said.
Protesters who were not arrested were removed from
doorways by police and blocked from returning, Dixon
said. No injuries were reported.
About 30 police officers were present to control the
protesters and escort women into the clinic, Dixon said.
Mrs. Hickey was arrested after she allegedly refused
to leave the office complex that houses Reproductive
Services, Dixon said. She then allegedly kicked officers
as they took her into custody, he said.
Body of Christ Rescue leader Rex Moses, who was
among those taken into custody on criminal trespass
charges, has said arrests are the lifeblood of his
movement. Moses, who was released from jail on $500
bond, said Saturday’s arrests boost his determination to
continue the anti-abortion protests.
“The fact that babies were saved this morning pro
vides further encouragement to rescue again and
soon,” he said.
