ROY PRICE
Roy Price, 71, of Sarasota died June 3, 2009, after
years of battling a number of diseases.
He graduated from McMurry College in Abilene,
Texas, and married Mae Frances Heffner 10 days later.
They moved to San Antonio, where Roy entered a train-
ing program for management at Joskes department
store.
In 1961, Roy was offered a management job at Halpern’s
Fabric store in Baton Rouge, and within 18 months, he
became a manager of a larger store in Memphis, Tenn.
In 1965, Roy was asked to join Vogue, a pattern com-
pany, as district manager for a five-state area. During the
five years that the couple lived in Columbus, Ohio, Roy
traveled for 10 months a year, calling on fabric stores
and commentating fashion shows in various cities.
In 1970, Vogue moved the Prices to California. They
settled in Saratoga and Roy continued to travel in the
fashion industry. He retired from Vogue in 1997.
Then he began another career, this time in real estate.
The market was very good in California at that time, so
he was quite successful.
He was the perfect person for the careers in which he
participated. He was very outgoing, interesting, caring.
He was always ready to help and encourage people, lie
had a great sense of humor and enjoyed having lots of
people around.
In 1999, the Prices moved to Sarasota, where they had
visited friends for a number of years. He was planning
on working in real estate, but health issues soon pre-
vented him from pursuing that career here.
Survivors are his brother, Jim; a niece, Shelley
Gerritizen; and a nephew, Jimmy Price, who live in the
Dallas area.
There will be no services. Toale Brothers is handling
the arrangements.
Memorial donations may be made toSt. Jude Children s

Church to fast lor those in need
“Also, 1 give unto you a commandment that ve shall con-
tinue in prayer and fasting from this time forth” (Doctrine and
Covenants 88:76). Fasting and prayer, an observance practiced
in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Book of Mormon
times, helps to draw us closer to the Gird. To fast is to go without
fixxl or drink voluntarily for a certain period of time. Fasting,
combined with sincere prayer, can strengthen us spiritually and
help us prepare ourselves and others to receive His blessings.
The first Sunday of the month is fast day and we are asked to
fast for two meals. 'Ibis fast offering, the money we would have
spent for two meals, is turned in to aid those in need. 'Ibis com-
ing Sunday, June 7th, we are asked to fast for a specific purpose:
for the local missionary work to expand in this area and that the
people accept the gospel of Jesus Christ.

now the* hand played a mixture of holidays, patriotic
events, civic affairs and dances.
In 1998, the hand was fortunate to have Billy
Weems to move to town after he had retired from the
U.S. Army, after 20 years of service, and has played
trumpet and directed in military bands his entire
career.
Members of the band include flute, Debbie Gilmore,
Donna Parker and Carol Reeser; clarinet, Charlene
Murphy; saxophone, Steven Nazworth, Richard
Smola and Duane Watts; trumpet, Inga Ashley,
Inga Farquar, Audrie Guthrie, Matt Reeser and
Bifly Weems; trombone, Darrin Schronz; euphonium,
Larry Ludlum; drums, Williams Tinsley; guitar, Joe
Rivera; bass. Rudy Rivera; and keyboard, Dianna
Adams.
While the actual composition of the band varied
from year to year, the band stabilized to approxi-
mately 15 to 20 members.
This award ceremony is open to all Masons and
non-members and all family and friends of those to
be honored are invited to attend.

been made in passing legislation to reduce carbon emis-
sions. There will be significant financial incentives for
early projects."
Sucn incentives may be grants passed down from the
federal and state governments for companies willing to
invest in "clean" coal technology.
Other measures, such as a cap-and-trade system, are
being investigated as well. Cap-and-trade, or a variation
of such a policy, would set a limit on total emissions of
CO2. Any plant that exceeds the set limit, would have
to pay for carbon "credits", which means they would
be affected financially. A plant such as Trailblazer, with
little to no emissions, would be able to sell the credits,
earning money for being environmentally responsible.
Such ideas still face opposition within the halls of con-
gress. Representatives Conaway and Neugebauer, both
republicans, are opposed to a cap-and-trade system.
On June 1, according to Helen Manroe, Tenaska's
manager of business development, issued a statement
saying, "Far-reaching legislation passed will place Texas
at the forefront of clean energy development and help
improve prospects for Trailblazer's construction."
A press release from Tenaska states that as a plant
that will capture and provide for the storage of 85-90
percent of its CO2 that would otherwise be emitted into
the air, Trailblazer is eligible for a state grant approved
by the legislature to help fund front-end engineering
and design studies and related costs.
The only other real drawback, aside from the cost
of carbon capture from a corporate perspective, is the
uncertainty associated with process. Trailblazer hopes
to scale the endeavor up to a proportion not yet seen,
and with that comes some risk. According to Howard
Herzog, an engineer at MIT's Laboratory for Energy and
the Environment, CCS can add over billion dollars to
the cost of developing and constructing a plant. Kunkel
agrees that the cost-effectiveness will decrease with the
implementation of the CCS equipment. "The biggest
issue is the energy required for tne process itself, he
said. "We are working to make it more efficient. But
it is also the big environmental story with this project.
We are attempting to solve one of the key problems the
world has."
One way to help alleviate the additional costs — which
could total more than one billion dollars — of installing
CCS technology, is to sell the carbon that is captured to
oilfield operations. Kunkel believes that West Texas is
the perfect place for a prototype plant such as Trailblazer,
due to its proximity to the Permian Basin. "West Texas
poses a unique opportunity," he said. "There is a large
market for carbon in enhanced oil recovery."
The use of recycled CO2 is not a brand new concept.
Several plants in the United States have captured carbon
on a smaller scale and shipped it off for further use. The
Great Plains Synfuels plant in North Dakota has been
capturing a portion of the carbon which is released when
the process of turning coal into gas (Gasification) is per-
formed. The byproduct is then shipped about 200 miles
north for use in the Saskatchewan oil fields in Canada.
When CO2 is pumped into the ground, it forces oil up,
making it accessible to extract from the deep caverns it
occupies.
Whether Tenaska can master the CCS process on such
a large plant remains to be seen. Should the system be
successful, newer coal plants may be required by law
to adopt some sort of CCS technology , and older coal
plants may he retrofitted with CCS as well.
But for now, Kunkel and the Tenaska staff are focused
on making it work in Sweetwater. "We need to learn a lot
still," he said. "Post-cobustion technology is attractive,
because older plants can he fitted. But we don't want to
get ahead of ourselves with retrofits, we want to make it
work here first."
The Tenaska Trailblazer Energy Center will be located
about nine miles east of Sweetwater. Once operating,
the 600 megawatt facility will have the capacity to
provide round-the-clock electricity to about 600,000
homes. Tenaska reps say that the company will weigh
the state support, along with other financial factors to
determine whether construction of the project can pro-
ceed in 2010.
