ior in most societiesjput research
shows that Harris County residents
are taking their level of alcohol con-
sumption to the extreme and suffer-
ing the deadly consequences.
“Alcohol causes more injuries and
death than all other drugs com-

person of the Harris County
Epidemiological Workgroup. “This

Freed said Martin and his victim,
whose name has not been released,
were walking by themselves in a field
near the intersection of McKinney and
Massey Tompkins Road, when Martin
suddenly stabbed him without warning
with a kitchen knife in the neck and
lower back. The victim fought back,
sustaining defensive wounds on his left
hand.
Martin fled, and his victim traveled
on foot to a nearby home, where he
knocked on the door and was helped
by a resident of the home. Police
arrived at the scene, as did a Life
Flight Helicopter, which took the vic-
tim to Memorial Hermann Hospital.

DEER PARK — Before Alevia
Bleedin, Annihilate-her and Mommy
Fearest took the rink, Rosie the Ribhitter
sang the national anthem. There was
number M-16, number Less than One and
number Infiniti.
It was that kind of night Sunday, when
women from Deer Park, Pasadena,
Baytown and throughout the area took
part in the first-ever bout of the
Battleground Roller Derby in a battle of
the league’s only teams — the Bombshell
Bruisers and the Queens of D’Nile.
The girls skated fast and hit hard, as the
designated “jammers” tried to move their
way through the pack. But in the end, the
Bruisers came out on top 63-61.
George Hasbrouck, a firefighter with
Baytown Fire and Rescue, set aside his
uniform to perform the duties of team
medic for the Bruisers, but Hasbrouck
was about the only one who had a quiet
night, as the women left the rink with a
few bumps and bruises but no major
injuries.
“It’s just a fun time to get out, get
rowdy, have a few beers and watch people
rough each other up,” Hasbrouck said.
“These girls put, all their heart and soul
into it. It’s something to watch.”
Hasbrouck’s girlfriend is Niki Major,
also known as Scar-Let O’Hurtya. She
said Battleground is still recruiting play-
ers from throughout the area. Major, 20,
is one of the youngest competitors.
“If there are any women out there who
are interested in getting out of the house
and giving their confidence a boost, come
check us out,” Major said. “It’s a good
time had by all. We’re a big group of
women that all have things to do, but
. they’re committed to doing something
