Festival To
Feature Bands
From 6 Schools
By SUSAN CUMMINGS-HASTTE
Music lovers who thrill to the sound of
a big band and enjoy watching the preci-
sion of a marching routine can take ad-
vantage of a new event sponsored by
Baytown’s school district.
Ben Gollehon, new director of per-
forming arts, has announced plans for
the first annual Baytown Marching
Festival, set for 7:30 p.m, Tuesday in
Stallworth Stadium. Admission is $1.50
for adults and 50 cents for students.
Bands from Highlands, Baytown,
Cedar Bayou and Horace Mann junior
schools and Robert E. Lee and Ross S.
Sterling high schools will perform a
marching routine separately and then
combine for a finale dedicated to the ci-
ty.
Gollehon says the purpose is to
“provide an opportunity for Baytonians
and band members to watch
bands in the system performr
and for one another.”
The extravaganza will also “give high
school bands a contest atmosphere dress
rehearsal prior to the Region IX Univer-
sity Interscholastic League marching
contest Nov. 7,” he explains.
In addition, proceeds from the event
will begin a fund to assist financing the
private lesson program of the band
department by augmenting the price of
private lessons and providing scholar-
ships for deserving students.
“1 hope it will help create a close-knit
type family-oriented thing for the
district,” Gollehon says. Previously with
the Dallas school system, Gollehon
reports the same type program was a
success there four years.
“We hope to have 5,000 come,” he ex-
plains. Band students will sell tickets in
advance and tickets will also be sold at
the gate. Band parents will also sell pro-
grams.

Emmett Urges Baytonians
To Join Redistricting Suit
By SHAWN BALTHROP
State Rep. Ed Emmett told members
of the Baytown Chamber of Commerce
Friday there may be “very little” they
can do about a House redistricting plan
that splits B&ytown three ways.
Emmett, R-Kingwood, told the group
the redistricting plan next goes to the
U.S. Justice Department, and may be
challenged in state or federal court.
“You can wait and see what the
Justice Department does,” he said. “I
would encourage all of you, when the
lawsuit is filed, and I’m sure it will be fil-
ed, to join in the suit.”
The redistricting plan passed Wednes-
day by the state redistricting panel
divides Baytown between state Reps.
Emmett, Ed Watson and Tony Polumbo.
Polumbo, D-Houston, will take in an
area of the Baytown community in-
cluding Brownwood, Lakewood,
Wooster, Barrett Station and McNair,
bounded on the north by Lynchburg-
Cedar Bayou Road and on the east by
Garth Road.
Baytown was also split from the in-
tersection of Bayway Drive, along
Decker Drive, Loop 201, Bob Smith
Road, Highway 146 and Ward Road.
Emmett will take the area north of
that line, while Watson, D-Deer Park,
will take the rest of Baytown.
“Even if you split Baytown, there’s no
reason to take Lakewood and
Brownwood,” Emmett said. “Except
there are Republicans there, and they
didn’t want to give that area to Ed Wat-
son.”
So the redistricting panel gave that
area to Polumbo, pairing him with state
Rep. Henry Allee. But Emmett said
Allee may run unopposed, since rumor
has it that Polumbo is eyeing Precinct 2
Commissioner Jim Fonteno’s seat on the
Harris County Commissioners Court.
Emmett said once again that there
was no reason
“Baytown had made its case on com-
munity of interest.”
He once again put the burden for the
redistricting plan on the shoulders of At-
torney General Mark White. He said
White had originally agreed to support a
plan by House Speaker Bill Clayton
which would have kept Baytown whole.
“Wednesday morning I got a call that
Mark White was flaking,” he added.
“When I got there, Clayton was kind of
shrugging his shoulders and saying
White flaked.”
If the Justice Department throws out
the redistricting plan, Emmett said, it
could be handed back to the Legislature.
“If the legislature is brought back into it,
the redistricting panel is over.”
Or, he said, the judges might draw the
districts themselves. “And any logical
court will keep Baytown together. I think

FULL SERVIANS f P-1 c
By TIM POTTER
LIBERTY (Sp) — Judge Leonard
Giblin Jr. said he found Vickie Daniel
not guilty Friday because the state did
not prove beyond a reasonable doubt she
knowingly or intentionally killed her
husband, Price Daniel Jr.
“I just couldn’t get beyond a
reasonable doubt,” the 40-year-old state
district judge from Beaumont said. “I
just couldn’t get over that burden that
the state has.”
But Giblin, a former district attorney
in Jefferson County, conceded, “It’s dif-
ficult for me to say not guilty because of
my law enforcement background.”
Despite the enormous amount of
publicity surrounding the trial, Giblin
said, “I tried to look at it as just another
case.”
Daniel, a former speaker of the state
House of Representatives and a member
of a powerfully political family in Liber-
ty, bled to death Jan. 19 from a .22-
caliber bullet wound. He and Mrs.
Daniel had argued and struck each other
minutes before the shooting, according
to the trial testimony.
There were shouts and a roar of ap-
plause after Giblin announced the not
guilty verdict in a courtroom jammed
with about 300 people.
Giblin said he forgot to warn the cour-
troom audience against making an out-
burst. “But if I had warned them, it still
would have happened - just a little
more subdued.”
He took 20 minutes during a recess
after final arguments to decide the ver-
dict.
There was a hush as he entered the
courtroom and asked Mrs. Daniel to
stand to await the verdict.
“Mrs. Daniel, I find you not guilty.
Court is adjourned.”
Mrs. Daniel and her defense attorney,
Jack Zimmermann, immediately grabb
ed and hugged each other.
People rushed forward to congratulate
Mrs. Daniel, a 34-year-old Baytown resi-
dent who at one point testified for her
own defense.
Mrs. Daniel said she was “happy
because of the outcome, but sad pro-
bably because of someone else’s disap-
pointment.
“I’m going to pick up my kids thig^
afternoon.” She said her two young sons
by Daniel will visit their paternal grand-
parents this weekend.
Mrs. Daniel, who said she has been ex-
hausted by the trial, said after the ver-
dict, “I’ll just take one day at a time.”
The happiness shown by Mrs. Daniel’s

“I think it’s a very workable move-

did not intend to set up any precinct for a
particular group, Democrat or
Republican, black, brown or white.”
Bass, after dropping his controversial
plan to create a minority district, sup-
ported a plan drawn up by state Rep.
Craig Washington and other leaders in
the black community.
In a statement Bass released Thurs-
day, he said the creation of a minority
district was “a long-time goal of mine.
Circumstances change, however.”
Bass said that leaders in the black
