Mickey Hays gets his buck
LIVINGSTON - In the rural South
killing his first deer is part of every
boy’s passage into manhood.
Mickey Hays, 11, of Hallsville is now
a young man. He killed his first buck on
opening day this year while hunting
with Us cousin, C.C. Taylor of Liv-
ingston.
Mickey downed the spike buck with a
.243 rifle on a lease on Rocky Creek.
And for Mickey this is quite an ac-
complishment because he doesn’t have
as much time as most of us do to reach
growth.
Until two years ago, Mickey and his
mother, Cindy Edwards, didn’t know
there wen any other victims of pro-
geria in the world.
Then she read about Fransie Gerr-
inger of South Africa, another victim of
the disease who made headlines with
his desire to visit Disneyland.
Thanks to the Sunshine Foundation
and Mickey’s friends in Hallsville the
two boys were able to meet in
Disneyland.

While Mickey is only 11 years rid, Us
body is that of a 75-year-old man.
Mickey is a victim of progeria, an ex-
tremely rare disease that ages its vic-
tims prematurely.
By the time he was nine, Mickey was
already bald and suffering from inflam-
ed Joints and shortness of breath. His
physcians say Mickey has a life expec-
tancy of about 14 years.

Permits issued for pipelines
AUSTIN—Railroad Com-
mission Chairman Mack
Wallace has announced that
24 permits to operate new
pipelines in Texas were
granted by the RRC in Oc-
tober. In September, the
Commission approved 17
permits, and 15 were
granted in October 1982.
Twelve of the new permits
were for gathering pipelines,
three were for. trunk
transmission lines, two were
for gas plant lines, and seven
were for multi-purpose lines,
two were for gas plant lines,
and seven were for multi-
purpose or other types of
lines. Gathering lines bring
oil and gas from production
leases, while a trunk
transmission line is a larger
diameter line into which
smaller lines connect. At gas
plants, gas is stripped of the
liquid hydrocarbons usually
present in wellhead gas.
Twenty-two of the new-
permitted lines will
transport gas, one will carry
products, and another will
move carbon dioxide.
In October, five permits
Were granted to operate
pipelines in East Texas
(District 6); three each in
deep South Texas (District
4i, West Central Texas
(District 7B), and the
Refugio area (District 2);
two each in Southeast Texas
(District 3), the Panhandle
(District 10), and the San An-
tonio area (District 1); and
one each in the San Angelo,
Midland, and Lubbock

mit for an offshore line.
Trial set for subdivision suit
OPEN
FRI., SAT., SUN., & TUES. NIGHTS
STARTS FRIDAY
Dean’s court
A suit filed by Cape Royale
against the San Jacinto
County Appraisal District
and Appraisal Review Board
seeks to enjoin the county’s
tax roll until reappraisal of
properties in Cape Royale
are initiated.
Chief Deputy Appraiser
John Benestante said earlier
that if Cape Royale wins the
suit the entire county will
have to be reappraised.
“We would have to redo
schedules which would mean
collecting taxes and payouts
to the taxing districts of the
county would be stopped un-
til this is completed,” he
said.
The suit accuses the coun-
ty’s appraisal district of us-
ing a system of appraisal
which is, “inappropriate to
the facts and which is used in
an inequitable fashion.”
According to the suit,
Capital Appraisal Company
of Austin, the county’s ap-
praisal firm, used a system
of appraisal known as a front
foot system. The suit seeks
to have the county ascertain
the market value of property
in the district according to
recent sales price.
“The use of a front foot
system, whereby a value is
determined regardless of
value of improvements, or
the square feet within the lot,
and with little consideration
of the location of the proper-
ty, will result in .actual
market value only by the
merest chance,” the suit
states.
The suit is asking the court
to redetermine the valua-
tions given in the entire ap-
praisal district so as to main-
tain equality and uniformity
within the appraisal district.
