Cross country walk
Man to begin 2,000-mile trek Sunday

Worrell plans to travel some of the less advertised areas of the country
during his 2,000 mile walk.
Bob Worrell, a TUlsa, Okla., man
who is turning 60 this year, will walk
cross-country to see and discover
micro-mid-America from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Canadian border at
Lake Superior.
On Sunday Worrell will embark
on his 2,000-mile journey beginning
at Sea Rim State Park. He will be
walking through Port Arthur on
Tuesday, Beaumont on Wednesday
and Lumberton on Thursday.
During his journey he will gather
information and photographs to add
to his presentation, “Real Off-the-
Interstate Mid-America.”
Worrell walks to discover the
landscape and people for presenta-
tions he gives at schools, colleges,
churches and community organiza-
tions across America.
Worrell says in doing so he
“hopes to encourage others to get
off those wonderful interstate rib-
bons of concrete, that help us to
move so quickly from one place to
another, and take a walk of discov-
ery along the back roads and byways
of America — discover the good, the
bad and the beautiful.”
Worrell says he has chosen the
area his journey will cover because
the glitzy travel promotion given to
other sections of the country with
more spectacular, though not neces-
sarily more beautiful, scenery has
caused most people to overlook this
part of the country.
He also cites the thriving mid-
section of the continent as an impor-
tant reservoir of national character
and productivity.
“In turning 60 this year, I will
become an official senior citizen and
maybe walking over 2,000 miles at
this age will convince a few others
that it’s never too late to step out,
pick up your pace and discover a
new world — on foot,” Worrell said.
In the past three years Worrell has
walked * lore than 3,000 miles, most
of it within 20 miles of Tlilsa.
“I have been astonished at all I
have discovered. There is so much I
have missed over the years of repeat-
ed driving along thoroughfares and
through neighborhoods. Places 1
thought I knew have taken on new
character,” Worrell said.
“Every discovery is not positive.
There is trash and the decay of pub-
lic facilities everywhere. There are
signs of the homeless living undet
bridges and in cardboard boxes. No,
it is not all pretty, but because of my
walking I now see much more clear-
ly,” he said.
“I have also met wonderful, inter-
esting people I’d have never discov-
ered from the comfort and ‘safety’ of
my car. Not everyone I have encoun-
tered has been a joy. Some have
harassed. So far, none have threat-
ened.”
Worrell said that, in coming to
Southeast Texas, he wants “to be
able to show and tell about (the) area
in a loving and personal way — to
reveal the depth and warmth of peo-
ple who call Southeast Texas home
and show the beauty, diversity and
interest of the landscape.”

Nueces County asking for restraint
Nueces County attorney Carl Lewis has asked college newspa-
pers around the state to communicate to students the necessity of
avoiding any conduct or behavior that might bring them into contact
with prosecuting authorities.
Lewis has said his office will recommend the maximum fine of
$2,000 for anyone convicted of driving while intoxicated related to
an offense committed during the period from March 12 through
March 21. The policy is designed to decrease alcohol-related acci-
dents.
