Volksmarch to draw hundreds
Event will begin at Live Oak Park
As many as 300 people will come to the Bay Area Nov. 18 and 19
from across Texas and some from other states. They will be here to
participate in two 1 OK walks, accredited Volksmarches, open to the
publio.
Dr. Carol Woodfln, who lives in Port Aransas and works at the
Ingleside post office, is chairman of the event. Ingleside City
Council Member Judy Storm is participating as a representative of
the oouncil. Jane Ward, park and recreation board member, is
coordinating.
The walk is advertised across the nation along with other Volk-
ssports. A brochure provides information on two Aransas Pass
motels, one in Ingleside, and one in Portland to walkers coming for
the events.
The event patch, which is the award for completinga walk, shows
a live oak tree typical of those which shade the Ingleside-Aransas
Pass area.
Sponsors of the walk are the Corpus Christi City Strollers of
which Helene Fennessy is president. She and other members of the
Strollers marked the paths with red and blue ribbons Sunday.
Participants, including anyone in the Bay Area who wants to join
in, can make one or two walks. The walks are not competitive.
Walken move at their own pace, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m, both days.

pushing the instrument which measures the distance. The Corpus
Christi walkers were delighted with the shady trails through the live
oaks. Ward explained that the trails have been cleared by residents
of the Restitution Center at Sinton.
Walkers can join in the events Nov. 18 and 19 without cost by
registering between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Live Oak Park. If they want
to earn event and distance credit and an event patch, the registra-

Woodfin, who is introducing Volkswalking to the Bay Area, began
as a backpacker in the Grand Canyon and on the Appalachan trail,
and began Volksmarching in Washington. Woodfin, who holds a
PhD, is a retired college teacher of biology, at Del Mar and the
University of Texas at Austin.
Good fellowship is a part erf Volkswalking. Some of the levity at
Sunday’s preliminary walk was when Woodfin, with instant recall,
referred to local residents by their post office box numbers instead
of their names. Storms was called 448.

Walter Winkle wins
lawsuit against city
Settlement less than expected
The City of Ingleside has com-
pleted litigation on another law
suit that has been tied up in the
court system for almost a year.
An Austin district pourt jury
awarded Walter Winkle the sum
of 88,400 with 852,500' for his
attorney fees after hearing the
last week. Winkle had filed suit
against the City of Ingleside
claiming violations of the Whistle
Blowers Act in regard to his sus-
pension from the Ingleside Police
Department in February of 1988.
The reason given by former
Ingleside Police Chief Mike Kint-
slev was “oending an inquiry into
alleged irregularities in the 1
ling of evidence” at the police
partment. Winkle claimed
his suspension was a result of i
taliation by Kintsley,
Winkle, had asked for a total of
8150,000but the jury, after hear-
ing the case for a week, awarded
him the sum of 88,400 and his
attorney was given 852,500 for
his fees. *
Ingleside City Attoriiey Martin
Haskett told The Index that the
council had not made any formal
decision yet as to whether or not
they would appeal the verdict.
