WHAT’S INSIDE
Voters head to polls in primary elections
BY MARK FLEMING
mark.fleming@baytownsun.com
Both major political parties hold primary
elections today from 7 a.m.-7 p.m., so if you
didn’t vote early, this is your last chance to
help shape the November general election
ballots.
Both parties use primary elections to deter-
mine who will represent them in November.
If no one gets over 50 percent of the vote
March 4, there will be nmoff elections May
27. The winner of each party’s primary will
be on the ballot in November, facing both the
other major party candidate and also candi-
dates from smaller parties.
Since many districts, though, are over-
whelmingly dominated by one party or the
other, there are quite a few races where win-
ning the primary virtually guarantees election
in November.
Texas voters are not required to register as
a member of a party, so voters may vote in
either the Republican or the Democratic pri-
maries, but not in both. Ballots for each party
will only list candidates from that party.
Secretary of State Nandita Berry reminds
voters about the new photo ID law, which re-
quires registered voters to bring an approved
photo ID with them to the polls.
To cast a ballot in person, registered voters
need to present one of the
following approved fonns of photo ID:
• Texas Driver License - issued by the De-
partment of Public Safety (DPS)
• Texas Personal Identification Card - is-
sued by DPS
• Texas Concealed Handgun License - is-
sued by DPS
• United States Military Identification card

An Arizona man remained

son, 27,
outside of
the Coyote
Bar in the
4200 block THOMPSON
of Decker
Drive after closing time on
Saturday.
Police arrived at the loca-

that two large groups of peo-
ple were in the parking lot
and about to fight.
Once there, an officer saw
Thompson fire several shots
into the crowd and toward
their vehicles.
The officer, fearing for the
safety of citizens and her-
self, drew her service pistol
and ordered Thompson to
drop Iris pistol and get on the
ground.
Police said at first Thomp-

Plenty of bling at BCA event
Denim & Diamonds dinner auction raises $100K
BY ALBERT VILLEGAS
albert.villegas@baytownsun.com
For one night only, boots replaced
sneakers as the choice for footwear
during Baytown Christian Acad-
emy’s 10th annual dinner auction
held Saturday in the gymnasium.
Most women dazzled in their
jewelry to go along with their west-
ern-styled attire since it was a “Den-
im & Diamonds” theme. Many of
the 300 guests who attended wore
cowboy hats.
“This is one of the most antic-
ipated and celebrated events we
have here at BCA. Everybody looks
fabulous,” Headmaster A1 Richard
said.
About $100,000 was raised at the
fundraiser, but the figure could in-
crease once a final tally is done, said
Mark Hall, BCA board president.
“Last year’s event raised
$104,000 and that was a signifi-
cant jump over the previous years,”
Hall said. “It has become the largest
silent auction that I attend year to
year.”
Derek Martin, BCA’s athletics
director, welcomed people as they
entered the gym.
