Voters to go back to polls
AUSTIN (AP) — Voters will
return to the polls Tuesday to
decide congressional and legi-
slative runoffs.
Balloting will settle nomina-
tions for races without outright
winners on March 10. Tuesday’s
victors advance to the Novem-
ber general election.
Democrats in Houston will
pick a nominee in the new 29th
Congressional District. That dis-
trict, one of three new seats
awarded Texas after the 1990
Census, widely was regarded by
as one likely to elect a Hispanic.
State Sen. Gene Green faces
Ben Reyes, a Houston city coun-
cilman. The winner meets Repu-
blican Clark Kent Ervin, a for-
mer White House aide, in
November.
Votes will be cast in three
state Senate runoffs.
Don Kent, a Tyler lawyer,
and Florence Shapiro of Plano,
who is in the advertising and
public relations business, seek
the GOP nomination to chal-
lenge incumbent Democrat Ted
Lyon in the 2nd District, gener-
ally north and east of Dallas.
The re-election bid of Sen.
John Whitmire, D-Houston, is
challenged by state Rep. Roman
Martinez, D-Houston, in the
15th District.
Two incumbent Republican
House members, Alan School-
craft of Universal City and Jeff
Wentworth of San Antonio are
dueling for the GOP nod in the
sprawling 26th District. Demo-
crats have nominated Austin la-
wyer Carlos Higgins.
The secretary of state’s office
says 12 Democratic runoffs and
12 Republican runoffs will be
held for the Texas House, in-
cluding several incumbents who
face challenges. They include:
—Rep. A1 Price, D-
Beaumont, faces Port Arthur la-
wyer Stella Morrison in District
22.
—Rep. Nick Perez, D-El
Paso, faces public relations con-
sultant Antonio Parra in District
75.
—Rep. Tom Cate, D-Lytle, is
being challenged for his District
44 seat in South Texas by Ri-
chard Raymond of Benavides.
—Rep. Dalton Smith, R-
Houston, is being challenged by
Lea Bell, a Houston
homemaker.
—Rep. Talmadge Heflin, R-
Houston, faces small business-
man John Teague of Houston in
District 149.

Rains to blame for
poor oyster harvest
GALVESTON (AP) — Torrential rains that soaked Texas last
winter have created a disaster for this year’s oyster harvest, which
ends this month, fishermen and seafood wholesalers say.
“This year is a total loss,” said Gary Cunningham, a Port Lavaca
seafood wholesaler who estimates the rains cost his business about
$600,000 this year.
Freshwater that surged through the Brazos, Colorado and Trinity
rivers and flowed into the Gulf of Mexico contaminated many oyster
beds and forced state officials to close some areas, including parts of
Galveston Bay, by mid-December.
Galveston Bay accounts for more than 80 percent of the state’s
oyster production.
Persistent rains caused periodic closures throughout the winter
and some areas remain closed as the regular season’s comes to an
end April 30.
Cunningham’s and other businesses that depend on oyster fishing
expect to suffer losses totaling millions of dollars in what has been
called the worst year for oyster closures in nearly a decade.
The season started to go sour starting on Dec. 14, when Galveston
Bay was closed to oyster boats. By Christmas, everything along the
coast down to Port Mansfield — almost to the Mexican border —
was closed.
“The oyster industry was virtually shut down,” said Richard
Thompson, director of the state Health Department’s shellfish sani-
tation division, v
Since then, small areas of Galveston Bay have opened up for one
to several days at a time, but rains have forced reclosures.
On Friday, the state Health Department again found high bacteria
counts in the middle of the bay and said areas already closed be-
cause of contamination will remain closed at least through this
Friday.
“It has been a very tough year on the industry,” Thompson said.
“They’ve had bad years, but it’s been particularly rough this year.”
The Galveston Bay harvest peaked at nearly 7 million pounds in
1983 and has been shrinking since.
