ccount of killer bee attack
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Working on a
ary about mountain lions, reporter Vivienne
eines scanned the thick brush, wary that a
lioness might attack to protect her cubs.
The attack came suddenly — but with tiny
ingers instead of claws and roaring teeth.
Heines wrote a first-person account about
the secondrno; swarme d by suspected Africanized bees,
inguish from! ‘f’ mmon ^ called “killer bees,” in Thursday
“litions of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
The attack occurred Wednesday while
eines and Caller-Times photographer
eorge Gongora were trailing three mountain
'lions on the Dobie-Welder ranch, between
ireer and Cotulla.
One of their guides, Louis Harveson, a
-aduate student at Texas A&M University-
ingsville, was stung at least 50 times. “I’d
!!®ther be mauled by a lion,” he quipped.
Michael Tewes of A&M-Kingsville’s Caesar
leberg Wildlife Research Institute and
ildlife tracker Frank Smith of New Mexico
ere also on the trip.
“Accompanied by Smith’s five lion-tracking
/alker hounds, we drove down dirt roads dot-

ted with cow chips, trying to pick up the lions’
radio signals on our transmitter,” Heines
wrote. “We eventually set out on foot for a
creekbed and stand of thorny mesquite where,
the lions were waiting. One eager hound;
Freckles, was chosen to go on the search.”
Harveson warned: “She (the lioness) could
be really upset when we walk in there. Stay
with the group. Do not run. Do not yell, un
der any circumstances. Keep your voices low.”
Freckles located two 2-month-old cubs, and
Harveson let Heines hold one while he refas
tened a radio collar used to track them.
“The cub, about the size of an adult house-
cat, hissed fiercely as Harveson maneuvered
carefully around the cub’s sharp teeth and
claws. But the other cub was in a tree filled
with bees, and our arrival sparked an attack,”
Heines wrote.
Gongora, who was attacked by bees several
months ago while on assignment, shouted for
the others to run. Getting stung 15 times did
n’t stop him from snapping off pictures of the
hasty retreat.
“When I asked what to do with the cub,
Harveson told me to take her with me,”
Heines wrote. “But after being stung twice by
bees — and it’s hard to fight off bees while
holding a lion cub in your arms — I asked him
again if I needed to bring the cub and he told
me to release her.”
Tewes said later that the cubs probably
were not attacked because they are small
enough to hide in the grass.
Smith was stung 10 times. Freckles was
warmed apd was taken in shock to a veteri
narian. Smith expected the dog to survive.
Gongora and Harveson were treated and
released from Frio Hospital in Pearsall, about
an hour and a half from the site of the attack.
“I’m just real glad no one was allergic be
cause it took too long to get to the hospital,”
Heines said Thursday by telephone.
Since January, 65 Texans have been in
volved in attacks from Africanized bees, better
known as “killer bees” because they are more
aggressive in defending their nests than Euro
pean honeybees.
The bees first showed up in Texas from
Mexico in 1990.

Despite the company’s failure

“Hopefully, they’ll make some

Port executive director Ernest
Connor said he expects Gold Star

“We are going to keep working

Gold Star wants to get into the

Gold Star has signed a lease-

Preliminary plans call for a

that would cost about $30 million
to $45 million to build and pro

Jury indicts man in scheme
to cash in life insurance
ALVIN (AP) —- A Pasadena postal worker has been indicted for
the suffocation death of his 2-year-old daughter in a plan to dodge
child support and cash in the girl’s life insurance policy.
It took a dogged, 10-month investigation by Alvin police to deter
mine that 2-year-old Katherine Renee Goode had been suffocated.
On Wednesday, a Brazoria County grand jury took four hours to in
dict her father on a charge of capital murder.
Michael Shane Goode, 34, of Alvin, was being held in the Brazo
ria County Jail in lieu of $800,000 bail.
Brazoria County Assistant District Attorney Jeri Yenne said
that authorities uncovered evidence that Goode wanted to kill the
child because he wanted to collect on a $50,000 life insurance policy
on his daughter. Yenne also said that authorities believe Goode
wanted to eliminate a $680-a-month, child support payment.
Katherine had been staying with her father only two days
when police found her dead Jan. 23 at Goode’s Alvin residence,
authorities said.
“He has been a suspect all along,” said Alvin police Sgt. Todd
Arendell, one of the lead investigators on the case.
An initial autopsy performed within 24 hours of her death did
not determine how Katherine died. She was buried a short time
later in Hallettsville.
A second autopsy was ordered in October.
This time authorities determined she suffered blunt trauma
to her neck and chest and died from manual asphyxiation,
Arendell said.
Yenne said it is not unusual, based on the initial information
provided by investigators, that the evidence of blunt trauma would
not be detected by medical examiners.
