himself.
Raised in a strict-southern
Baptist home, Cagle said
music was always in his life,
but as a rule, there was no
rock-and-roll music allowed
in the house.
To get around this, Cagle
said he would play rock songs eyes suddenly seemed very

He once offered a unique
solution for quelling noise
complaints from neighbors
living near Toledo Express
Airport. He’d simply sell near-
by homes at low cost to, uh,
well, deaf people. Sweet, huh?
Bottom line, all these loopy
snobs can yelp all they want.
But a question keeps popping
up in mind, and probably
yours, too: What happens if
some terrorists group, say, al
Qaida, invades Berkeley and
Toledo? Would the Marines be
welcomed then?
I know what I would do
under such circumstances. I’d
send Finkbeiner to the edge of
the city, carrying a white flag,
and have him order Osama’s
boys out of town the same
way he did the Marines.
And in Berkeley, I’d have
Code Pink members attack al-
Qaida with their hand-held
placards.
That would work.

made him chuckle.
Always a fan of Southern
rock, Cagle said he doesn’t
often listen to country music
because he doesn’t want his
work to sound like everybody
else’s.
Cagle said he was glad to
come back to his hometown
to release this album, the pin-
nacle of his career thus far.
Cagle’s road manager
paced, trying to keep up with
schedule, and an urgent tele-
phone call was pushed
through as Cagle tried to
introduce his girlfriend to his

into the MU category, (the
lease restrictive of the three),
when annexed into the city.
But now they fall into LI,
which includes stricter build-
ing requirements.
Developers wishing to
change their zoning classifi-
cation must appear before the I
Commission once the proper- I
ty is annexed and request the
change.
There are currently no
areas classified as LI in the

with her camera phone at Wal-Mart Thursday night. Originally, Brooks said.
Fuller Realty Partners
requested that half the prop-
erty be LI and half be HI.
But assurances that heavy
industrial is not permitted in
a light industrial district,
therefore any of the 408
acres sold by Fuller Realty
Partners must comply with
LI requirements, did not put
the minds of Commission
members at ease.
And neither did the
promises that the required
landscaping buffer would
serve as a barrier between the

ably would have been able to

college. This is all I got. This
is all I know.”
Over the course of his
eight-year professional music
career, Cagle has produced
two Gold albums and 11 hit
singles, including four Top
Tens on the Billboard charts.
All three winners will compete in the
Spelling category for UIL competitions this
spring.
Saumil continues now to regional competi-
tion in March, at the Houston Chronicle.
“I’m glad I get to go to regionals again,” said
Saumil, who placed fifth at that level last year.
“I’m going to try my best, whatever the out-
come.”
P&Z member Jim
Hutchison pointed out that
there’s been a lot of talk
about making Baytown,
(gateways especially), more
beautiful. And letting the area
near Interstate 10 be used for
a business park contradicts
those plans.
“I don’t understand why

these opportunities for eco-
nomic growth,” Brooks said.
The Commission agreed.
Members also unanimous-
ly agreed allow an RV park
in Bay Oaks Harbor, which
was originally platted to
include the development.
Bay Oaks Harbor is a pri-
vate community off Tri-City
Beach Road. Residents have
been trying to get the city to
take-over the aging waterline
that has resulted in sewage
and drainage problems on the
property.
“I don’t think there’s any-
thing we can do to make it
worse than it already is,” P &
Z member Barry Bobbitt
said.
Decisions made by the
Planning and Zoning
Commission go before
Baytown City Council for
final consideration.

A friendly voice came over
the intercom, coaxing shop-
pers to the front of the store,
stating, “All registers are now
open.”
No one budged.
Most of the crowd was
clutching their Chris Cagle
CDs as they eagerly awaited
show time.
Moving toward the Dr.
Pepper-adorned stage, Cagle
stopped only to shake hands
with a uniformed Marine in
the crowd, thanking him for
his service.
A barrage of Wal-Mart
employees, security guards
and police officers ushered
Cagle through the aisles to
the front of the crowd.
Two long, fold-out tables
were all that separated the
crowd from Cagle and his
band, made up of Cagle on
guitar, a shaggy-haired fiddler
and a second guitarist/vocal-
ist.
When the set began, the
children who were quietly sit-
ting campstyle under the
tables scooted closer to the
stage, and the crowd became
a menagerie of cheers and
flashing camera phones.
Cagle and his band per-
formed two acoustic songs,
“What Kinda’ Gone,” and
“The Chicks Dig It.”
Before performing the lat-
ter, Cagle told the crowd that
song reminded him of the
years he spent in Baytown.
Cagle moved to Baytown
from Louisiana when he was
4 years old. In high school,
Cagle was a free safety and a
kick-returner on the Ranger

teacher at Horace Mann Jr., and his parents
with his success.
“My mom and dad would get the list and call
out words to me at night,” Saumil said.
“Almost every word they called today was on
the ‘Spell It’ list.”
The biggest surprises on the master list —
for spelling bee judges as well, said Kim
Futrell, district coordinator for Secondary
Language Arts — were the words of Japanese
origin.
Students aced “satori,” “sashimi” and “tata-
mi,” but stumbled on “futon,” and finally, for
runner up Caitlin May, “netsuke.”
“I’ve had my nose fixed to a book for four
days!” said Caitlin, describing the days spent
preparing for the spelling bee. “But most of the mined fifth-grader,
words were pretty easy.” A " ;-----
As a seventh-grader and two-time second
place winner, Caitlin looks forward to next
year’s competition, when her toughest peer,
Saumil, will have moved to high school.
“Next year I’m going to win first place!” she
said.

Currently enjoying his hors-
es and home in Nashville,
Cagle says he is looking to
move back to Texas soon.
Right now, he’s trying to
buy a home in Cook County.
Talking about coming back
to Texas for good, Cagle’s
Hutchison said.
In the end, the developers’
excitement about the project
did not convince the
Commission to amend the
property zone to allow a
business park. The vote lost
in a 5 to 2 vote.
Commission members did,
however, approve an amend-
ment changing the zoning,
classification of a recently
annexed property from NC to
MU.
