Voters With Special Needs
Services Available to Voters with Special Needs in Texas
Voter Registration
- People with disabilities have the right to register to vote so long as they are eligible, which means they:
- Are citizens of the United States;
- Are at least 17 years and 10 months old at time of registration (but to vote, they must be 18 years of age by Election Day);
- Have not been finally convicted of a felony, or if they have been convicted, have completed all of their punishment, including any term of incarceration, parole, supervision, probation, or have received a pardon;
- Note: Deferred adjudication is not a final felony conviction.
- Have not been determined by a final judgment of a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote.
- Individuals who have legal guardians may be eligible to register, depending on whether the court took away their right to vote. All guardianship orders issued after September 1, 2007 must state whether the individual can vote.
- People with disabilities can receive assistance registering to vote from any state agency that provides services to persons with disabilities or from any person they choose.
Accessible Voting Systems
- On September 1, 1999, Texas became the first state to require that all new voting systems be accessible to voters with disabilities and provide a practical and effective means for voters with disabilities to cast a secret ballot.
- In every federal election (and most nonfederal elections), each polling place will offer at least one type of accessible voting equipment or Direct Record Electronic ("DRE") device. This equipment allows voters with disabilities to vote directly on the system or assist them in marking the paper ballot. Depending on the type of system, voters with disabilities may use headphones or other assistive devices to help them vote independently and secretly.
- In certain nonfederal elections held in counties with a population of less than 20,000, accessible machines may not be available at every polling place. To determine if accessible machines will be available or to request an accommodation, contact the early voting clerk of the county or political subdivision holding the election at least 21 days before the election.
All Polling Places in Texas Must be Accessible
Polling places should support voters, not hinder them. When you go to the polls in Texas, you can expect:
- Your polling place will meet strict accessibility standards, including:
- A location on the ground floor that can be entered from the street or via an elevator with doors that open at least 36 inches
- Doors, entrances, and exits used to enter or leave the polling place that are at least 32 inches wide
- Any curb next to the main entrance to the polling place must have curb-cuts or temporary non-slip ramps
- Stairs necessary to enter or leave the polling place must have handrails on each side and a non-slip ramp.
- Removal of all barriers such as gravel, automatically closing gates, closed doors without lever-type handles, or any other barrier that impedes the path of the physically disabled to the voting station.
- Voting systems that are accessible to voters with physical disabilities and can accommodate no vision, low vision, no hearing, low hearing, limited manual dexterity, limited reach, limited strength, no mobility, low mobility, or any combination of the foregoing (except the combination of no hearing and no vision)
- Each polling place will offer at least one type of accessible voting equipment or Direct Record Electronic ("DRE") device. This equipment allows voters with disabilities to vote directly on the system or assist them in marking the paper ballot. Depending on the type of system, voters with disabilities may use headphones or other assistive devices to help them vote independently and secretly.
Voters May Receive Assistance at the Polls
Tell the election official if you are a voter who needs help to vote. You do not have to provide proof of your disability. Voters are entitled to receive assistance if they:
- Cannot read or write; or
- Have a physical disability that prevents them from reading or marking the ballot.
Voters may be assisted by:
- Any person the voter chooses who is not an election worker;
- Two election workers on Election Day; or
- One election worker during early voting.
Voters MAY NOT be assisted by:
- Their employer;
- An agent of their employer; or
- An officer or agent of their union.
The person assisting the voter must read him or her the entire ballot, unless the voter asks to have only parts of the ballot read. The person assisting the voter must take an oath that he or she will not try to influence the voter's vote and will mark the ballot as the voter directs. If the voter chooses to be assisted by polling place officials, poll watchers and election inspectors may observe the voting process, but if the voter asks to be assisted by a person the voter chooses, no one else may watch him or her vote.
It is illegal for a person assisting the voter to:
- Try to influence the voter's vote;
- Mark the voter's ballot in a way other than the way they have asked; or
- Tell anyone how the voter voted.
Voters May Use Interpreters at the Polls
Voters who cannot speak English, or who communicate only with sign language, may use an interpreter to help them communicate with election officials. The voter may select any registered voter from his or her county to be their interpreter. If the voter cannot read the languages on the ballot, the interpreter may also assist by translating the language on the ballot for the voter in the voting booth. (See assistance section above for more details.) If the voter is deaf and does not have a sign language interpreter who can accompany them to help communicate with the poll worker or read the ballot, the voter should contact his or her local election officials before the election and request assistance.
Curbside Voting
If a voter is physically unable to enter the polling place, he or she may ask that an election officer bring a ballot to the entrance of the polling place or to a car at parked at the curbside. After the voter marks the ballot, they will give it to the election officer, who will put it in the ballot box. Or, at the voter's request, a companion may hand the voter a ballot and deposit it for him or her.
TIP FOR VOTER WITH DISABILITY: If you plan to go alone to vote curbside, it is wise to call ahead so election officials will expect you. Generally speaking, you may vote curbside during the early voting period (the 17th day before Election Day until the 4th day before Election Day) or on Election Day. For a May uniform election date or resulting runoff election, the early voting period is the 12th day before Election Day until the 4th day before Election Day.
Voters May Vote Early, Either in Person or by Mail
Voters who vote during the early voting period may vote at any early voting site in the political subdivision that is holding the election. Alternatively, if a voter will be 65 years of age or older on Election Day, has a disability, or will be outside the county during early voting hours and on Election Day, the voter can apply to vote by mail. Simply submit a completed and signed Application for a Ballot by Mail any time from the 60th to the 9th day before Election Day to the proper county early voting clerk. Please note that for an election held on a Tuesday, the deadline moves to the 11th day before Election Day because the 9th day falls on a weekend. Applications for a Ballot by Mail may also be submitted in person at the main early voting polling location, as long as early voting by personal appearance is NOT taking place. For further information on voting early in person or by mail, including information on assistance in requesting, marking, or mailing a ballot by mail, please read our pamphlet titled "Early Voting in Texas."

Kerusso Christian T-Shirts are known around the world for their award winning designs and life-changing messages. The mission of Kerusso is simple – "Proclaiming the Good News to the world through products about Jesus". As one of the pioneers within the Christian Apparel industry Kerusso has set the standard for T-Shirt evangelism since 1987.
Check out these inspiring testimonies below, and share your own testimony to the right:
"As often as possible I wear a shirt with a Gospel message on it. When I go to the gym,hiking etc. Once I wore a shirt that has I love Jesus on the front and all the verses from 1 cor 13 on the back. I went on a very busy hike with hundreds of people reading my shirt!
When I go to Gym I wear my Kerusso shirt John 3 sixteen in the John Deer colours and I get alot of guys reading it but i've found over the years that mostly the Christians come up to me and talk to me. So that tells me people do read what is on our shirts!
I figure there are alot of people who wear rude shirts, so I've decided to wear a shirt with a message of hope and of eternal value!"
"Kerusso shirts are clever, fashionable, AND proclaim my love for God with everyone who reads them. Keep on doing what you do Kerusso!"
"I LOVE Kerusso- the products, the message, and the empowering feeling to continue to bring in FRESH product."

"My Mom bought me the "Stick with Jesus" T-shirt because she knows how much I love playing the drums. Wearing it while I play makes me praise harder!"

"Human billboards make the best attention getters. You have the best billboards."
"I really love the designs you guys put up here. Design and creativity, I believe, are some of the ways of reaching out to folks. God defines creativity (cos He's the Creator) and when His children glorify Him, they're showin His work. Keep it up (where it belongs)"
I will continously pray for all the team of Kerusso.com and the founder Vic Kenneth and his family. Surely GOD fulfilled HIS purpose in all of you!! You will save and changed the lives of so many people especially the youth of this world… You are the silent champions of this world but the roaring champions in the spirit world. YOU ARE ALL FOREVER BLESSED. SHALOM be with you from our ADONAI YESHUA… Vicky….Sorry I can't show a picture wearing the Kerusso product because I have just ordered some. I will send the photo once we received the products. JESUS Blessed you all!!!!"
I am a christian and love being a mom that is a blessing. Plus, that is my favorite verse, I can do all things through Christ. I live by that verse everyday. As of matter of fact that is my fav. verse I have on Face Book. I felt that this shirt was talking to me. and now I can share it with the world. Thank You!! I bought it for me for Mother's Day, have not worn it yet because waiting till Mother's Day, but can't wait to. God bless you all. Keep up spreading the word."
This opened an amazing door to a conversation about Christ that lasted quite some time. We were able to tell her about Christs plan of salvation, and how to recieve it. She said she had never felt like asking anyone about these things before until she saw us so openly wearing His name….That is just one of many conversations that have been initiated because of your companies efforts to share the gospel…Again, Thanks and God Bless your ministry."
"Love ,love your stuff …just saw it on amazon.com…. I'll definitely will be a long time customer…. can't wait to see reaction of some of my church members( God has blessed us with many youth in our congregation) … maybe bring you more business …"
"Out of the multitude of people I encounter on any given day, it's really just a small percentage that I actually get to interact with. So, when I'm not able to speak to somebody about what Christ has done for them, it's good to know that my shirt can. Thank you, Kerusso, for helping me to proclaim the Good News!"
I wore it to a small group leaders training meeting last week at my church and will be sharing your website with others there, now that I found it on the tag from my shirt. It's so much fun to watch people's eyes when I wear it — they read it and if they get it, I see an "ah hah" look on their face………of course, then there are those who just have the "whaaaaaaat" look — I love it — makes them think.
I also bought my stepdaughter the "Hero" shirt as she has been a fan of that tv show since it came on and she is also a Christian. I may have to get that one next for me, too. I look forward to being able to shop for more t-shirts and will enjoy receiving emails from your company. God bless you all! "
My shirts are getting old though, and a new year is starting… The people that use to sell them here in Jamaica closed down. My parents are in tha ministry full-time. They started a faith based organization called, "Choose Life International" (www.chooselifeintl.org), and it is supported by what people donate to it. God told me to go to my school to be a missionary for Him there. I am going into my second semester in January, and am really praying about doing a whole lot of ministry before the school work kicks in. I am wondering if you could support me, by sending me some of your shirts. Please speak to God about it. Whatever He says, I am fine with."
As I wrapped-up our travel preparations for the D.C. rally at 1:30 in the morning, I decided that it was the, Jesus is our greatest hope, t-shirt that I needed to wear to the Tea Party Rally, and drove to the Pilot to buy it. I'm so glad I did! With all of the signs and shirts that spoke many truths about government corruption and wrong-headed ideologies, my t-shirt received the best comments (at least a half a dozen or more). They all said the same thing, "THAT IS THE BEST T-SHIRT AT THIS WHOLE EVENT… AND THE MOST TRUE!"
A few people even took a picture of it! If I had any reservations about "dragging Jesus into my political activism" it was gone by the end of the day! My prayer is that the shirt not only was an important reminder to believers who may have become too tied-up in knots over the state of our country, but that the truth of its message struck a chord in the hearts of unbelievers. Thanks for that powerful and beautiful message."
Tyler has been raised in church. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age – age 6. He was involved in Awanas as a child, and now he is very involved in his church youth group. We attend Main Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Kentucky. We have a phenominal youth pastor whose heart is definitely for the youth. Tyler has been on many mission trips throughout the past 4 years – while in 7th grade, he gave up his spring break vacation to go to Mississippi to help with the Katrina Relief and helped hand drywall and siding. Our youth group does a mission project every month and he is always involved. He has helped several elderly women in our church do yardwork. He truly has a servant's heart. I am so proud of him.
Other parents often tell me that Tyler is such a nice, polite young man and that my husband and I have done a great job with him and I always tell them thanks, but Tyler is a God-thing. He is being molded and formed by his Heavenly Father. As a young child (the age of 6), Tyler has had (or thought he had) his life planned out. I heard once that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. He wanted to be a zoological vet – he was going to Auburn University continuing with his Doctorate Degree and working at a zoo and traveling around the world. He wanted to work with Amazon animals and go to Africa. He always wanted to incorporate mission work into his career thinking he could go overseas and work and witness at the same time.
Well, this past year the Lord has really worked on his heart and Tyler's career plan has changed. He has committed to a life of full-time ministry. He at first was wrestling with full time missionary work but during this year's M-Fuge trip to South Carolina, he was felt called to the ministry. I could not be more proud of him. I have known since he was in the womb that God had a special plan for him. Jeremial 29:11, but the key is you have to be willing. Tyler is definitely willing. He has never been ashamed of who he is – A CHILD OF GOD. Why am I telling you all of this and thanking God for my son? I wanted to thank you for giving him a resource to show his faith!!!!!!!
The first day of 8th grade last year, Tyler was given a project in Language Arts. He had to write down 2 goals they had for that year and how they were going to accomplish them. Tyler's #1 goal was to win more of his friends to Christ. How was he going to accomplish this – he was going to wear a Christian t-shirt to school everyday. He has worn a Christian t-shirt to school everyday since the 8th grade. He just started high school and I asked him if he was going to continue wearing his t-shirts to school – his response was. Yeah Mom don't you think High Schoolers need Christ in their lives even more than middle schoolers do! Well, that's my boy! Always, thinking of others.
Well, Tyler is continually working on his friends and trying to be a role model to his peers. He gets questioned about his shirts alot and it gives him an opportunity to share his faith. I could go on and on and on about his servant's heart. But my main purpose of writing this letter was to thank you for providing a way for Tyler to share his faith with other students!!!!! You are such a blessing! Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!
Have a blessed day!"
My second favorite is retired for my collection and was really popular. It is orange and has a cross like symbol with "Forgiven," in the middle of it. (It has a small cross on the front, and a large image on the back). My 3rd favorite tee, is one I wear as much as possible. It's a gray tee states, "Gods Property" in blue, and has a "XXL" in the middle with a cool verse on it. Last, but not least, is the white "God's Property" tee with the "XXL" written in black. Saddly, I am not a huge fan of the new designs, and my shirts are wearing out. I didnt know if it was possible to revive the old ones, or just get another of each. Please let me know …..THANK YOU!"
Wearing these shirts helps me to identify myself as a member of God's team, and it seems as though I have an open door to many places that I never could have entered before. Now I'm pretty much identified by the shirts I wear. I can now talk a streak about the Lord and how he has changed my life. Although, I remember that sometimes the best conversations are where I never say a word. I just listen to the people that need, and want to tell their stories. I must always remember, it is not about me, but someone higher. I love your shirts Kerusso. Keep up the great work, and help others to share the Good News."
The creativity of taking a corporate name and giving it a gospel message is so awesome! As you can imagine, the Starbucks theme gets lots of looks here in the northwest, especially at the local mall. Again, thank you for your wonderful products, and may you continue to receive blessings as you spread the gospel in these clever ways."
"I wear Kerusso T-shirts because, every shirt has its own unique design, they are comfortable and affordable, and bring positive attention from people who are curious- which allows me to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. Also, because Kerusso T-shirts are an evangelism tool to help save the lost."
Ieventually got back into church after I married. Now I have grown children of my own and I have always tried to stress church. We are all sinners no matter what we have done or haven't done. But now I go to one of the largest churches in Louisville andam so on fire for the Lord. Two of my children are christians and my brother and nephew are both preachers of the word. My other nephew is studying to be a youth pastor and we are all on fire to spread his name. This is one way I can do my part. I am not a preacher but I can get into some pretty great discussions on the subjest."
"I love how Kerusso switches popular brands up so that people will stop and look at those wearing their shirts. So many pour so much cash into fancy $50/shirt brands, but for $20 for both shirt AND the opportunity to witness… it's well worth it! Thanks, Kerusso!"
"My wife and kids have been buying T-shirts now, for the last few years as Christmas and birthday gifts, and I wear them till they have holes. People on the street always come to me, or stop me so they can read what my shirt says. It's always a great way to meet new Christians and start up a conversation about Jesus."
As I was leaving a gentleman whom had just joined that day was waliking down steps from the opposite side of me and recognized your vision. The blessing was that he also has an interest in your companies vision. We exchanged numbers and we are going to discussed some business marketing ideas. I am a former graphic design student, and I have been designing some t-shirts on my own which I have yet to create a platform for peolple to see. But after purchasing your product I took that as a sign that if I don't pursue the passion it may die inside of me.
I would love to endorse your product and learn how to integrate my ideas into your company. For me to purchase your product, go to church, and meet someone who has the same interest as myself. WOW!If this is not a message experience from God, then I need to pray on it. I thank God for your passion to make a difference. When people change the way they think, they change the way they look at things."
Furthermore I had just one suggestion i dont know if it could be possible in the future or whenever, you guys can put the shirts in different languages maybe. I am hispanic and I would love to see scriptures in spanish this wonderful shirts you guys have in spanish it would really mean alot there people that have ask me if they sell them in spanish.maybe in the future, please considered as an idea. Well I guess this is all. May God keep on going blessing you all the workers, employees. Whoever is doing all this wonderful work. Keeep on going with this ministry. God Bless!"
Your story above inspires me. I want to show these teens the way to Jesus. Because I work in an educational environment, I have to be subtle. They don't say we can't discuss religeon, but it is not advised. I too will purchase this book "The Late Great Planet Earth" I also want to get them the picks because that is something they already like. How do I get to the products you sell? Thank You!"
So guess what? Lol! Well, every time we would go my appointment, I would stop by the LifeWay Christian Bookstore and pick up another new Christian T-shirt. I had a different one on to each of my appointments with him. He had to have clearly seen what my shirt said when I was laying down on the chair right beside him! I invited one of my sisters with me one day and I got her to wear yet another kerusso shirt. He commented, "Oh you have one too?" and smiled. He said, "She always has on a different shirt every time I see her." By him saying that, I clearly knew that he noticed and it made me feel great, that I at least was able to witness to him through all of the many different shirts!"
"My 9-year old son wanted to wear a cross necklace, as suddenly they have become a very popular item in school with all the boys (and girls). I was a little bit leery picking it out myself, but he could not have been happier, wears it every day and remembers to take it off before showering!"
"I constantly weatr Kerusso shirts, and they often catch people by surprise because they think it is a brand shirt and then they figure out that it is saying something religious. I often get asked questions about my beliefs after people read the shirt I'm wearing and it has brought some people I know closer to God."
Many customers have also placed them on front windows of their home or business. Our company, D & D Graphics ONSITE creates, designs, and manufactures our "see thru" window graphics. Customers can choose from our Praise Category, Bible Verses, Christian Expressions, Challenge Statements, our go to the "YOU DESIGN IT" and order there own favorite bible verse, etc. We can also use these designs for printing on smaller size vinyl stickers, bumper stickers, magnets, t-shirts, window clings, etc. I first saw your product line at a local Hallmark Store. I have tried diligently to contact them about carrying our product line – so far God has not opened that door. Maybe Kerusso can!!?"
Then the next day Sunday I went to church and gave my life to Christ and have been running strong since. I turned all of my punk rock squatter clothes into plain jeans and Kerusso T-shirts. And I now am an evangelist. I remember when I accepted Christ. I was filled with the Holy Spirit much like the day of Pentecost with a rushing of wind. But not a speaking of tongues (a gift I still have not received)."
Not long ago I was playing in a Rodney Howard Brown crusade, and I actually used one of your Pick Jesus picks expecting the gold foil to wear off like Fender, Gibson, Steve Clayton, and many other custom picks I've used over the years. But now, weeks later, and gig after gig, your pick still looks (and sounds) incredible! Having purchased over 10,000 custom picks over the years, (they are more fun to give out than biz cards) I would love to have my picks made with your custom pick vendor.
I'm not asking for any free-bees- just the vendor's contact info… Feel free to use my testimonial. And please, pass this on to the powers that be, with the hopes that soon, I too can be jamming on my own custom picks that look (and sound) as fantastic as your inspirational Pick Jesus picks."
"We got this super cool and hip t-shirt for Jason. I love that it is a Christian pride shirt, but also has really cool graphics, so you can be proud and stylin' wherever you go! Kerusso is a Christian pride store that has so many great shirts and accessories for everyone in your family."
So I ended up getting the Reese's Jesus shirt and the easy botton one. At the end of my trip we had to ride a plane home, and I was wearing the Reese's shirt, and everyone was saying, " I love your shirt" or, " thats so cool", even one of the flight attendants complimented it. And just recently I wore it to volleyball practice (at public school) and they loved it too. When they asked were I got it they were dissapointed to hear I got it all the way in New Jersey. Since everyone liked I deciced that I'm going to wear it to actuall school. So pray for good results."
The lifestyle that i was living wasnt going to get me anywhere.I decided to accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior.The relationship that i aquired with God afterwards is undescrivable!Now i have found true happiness and i hope you all do the same.Thank you for listening and God bless.."
"I took Jesus as my savior 15yrs ago, sitting here in a low spot i just looking at clipart i ran into your chips and they touched my heart, then I read your scriptures and prayer. God Bless you all for what you do, It might not be for just the unsaved but us that are weak to help be uplifted! Have a blessed day."
"My sister in law loved this shirt when I gave it to her for Christmas.It's great quality with a great message. I would definately recommend!"

Sposta ü\[ezvs Chief Charlo of the Salish VOLUME 17, NUMBER 2 A news puBficatwn of the Salish and 'Xgotenai 'Tribes of the fiatfiead Indian 'Reservation MONTH OF THE CAMAS Chief Koostatah of the Kootenai JUNE 1, 1988 Graduates honored; Two Eagle ground-breaking announced The Reservation's student population is in the spotlight these days, what with awards dinners and graduation parties and ceremonies. Arlee and St. Ignatius feted their graduates with dinner and gifts on May 24 and 25 (story on page three), respectively, while Two Eagle River School in Dixon honored its youngsters with an awards banquet May 24 and a graduation ceremony May 27 (story and pho- tos next week). The college crowd will be enjoying similar doings this week—see the story below for details. The students at Two Eagle got a little icing on their cake last Friday, so to speak, when principal Carlos Sunder-mann announced that the bid to build a new school in Pablo had been awarded by the BIA a week earlier, and the school board had decided the night before to host a luncheon and ground-breaking celebration on June 1, beginning at noon (news that will be old by the time this Char-Koosta is being read, a day or so late, due to the Monday holiday). Sundermann said the board knew that the June 1 date was a bit last-minute, but it was very appropriate nonetheless: That's the last day of school at Two Eagle for this scholastic year, and what a neat way to spend it, taking a physical first step towards a badly needed and long-awaited new school building. Everyone's invited to SKC ceremonies 10 10 is 2° o Sm Salish Kootenai College will be holding its annual awards/scholarships assembly on Friday afternoon (June 3) at 2 p.m. in the Michel Building on campus in Pablo. A special welcome will be given by SKC board member Fred Houle, and scholarships will be presented by various donors as well as board members Chairman Roger McClure (chairman), Shiree Dupuis, Margaret Big Sam, Darryl Dupuis, Laurence Kenmille and Ruth Swaney. The public is welcomed to attend the assembly. This year, SKC will be awarding approximately $10,000 in scholarships from a variety of donors: Earl's Distributing, Flathead Indian Museum, Mary Mager family donation to SKC Student Council, SKC employees, Hearst Foundation, Tribal Education Committee, SKC Student Council, Joe's Jiffy Stop, Bishop Insurance Service, Lake County Bank, Gene Leonard, Kootenai Culture Committee, Ronan State Bank, Northwest Forest Protective Association, Flathead Culture Committee, Valley (Continues on page two) PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE: Jesse Jackson's second visit to Montana this year didn't take place on May 27, as was hoped. It will occur on June 3 instead, in Butte, where he'll share the limelight with fellow White House hopeful Michael Dukakis.

Richard Paul "Dick" Paino, 70, who currently resided in Waynesboro Pa., passed away suddenly at his home Friday, March 15, 2013. He left to spend eternity with his wife Mary (Beckwith) Paino, whom he always noted was the "love of his life." Dick was a strong, kind and compassionate man, born on Dec. 1,1942, In Norwich N.Y. He was a lifelong resident of Norwich, graduating from Norwich High School in 1960. He and his wife Mary, were married on Sept. 21, 1963. She recently passed away on Aug. 19, 2011, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. In addition to his devoted wife, he was also preceded in death by his parents, John and Frances (Natoli) Paino, a brother John "Jackie" Paino Jr. and a sister Mary (Paino) Drake. Dick was extremely loving and proud of his three daughters and their husbands: Constance and Gene Duffey of Greencastle, Pa., Cynthia Paino-White and James White of Waynesboro Pa., and Christin and Greg Hanley of Canastota, N.Y. He is also survived by four loving grandchildren: Samantha A. Schroer of Mercersburg, Pa., S. Alexander Schroer of Orlando Fla., Victoria C. French of Oneonta N.Y., and Christopher M. Hanley of Canastota, N.Y. A sister-in-law Sylvia (Beckwith) Bates of Norwich, N.Y., also survives, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Dick worked for Norwich Eaton/Procter and Gamble Pharmaceuticals for more than 37 years, retiring in 1998 as a "Construction and Project Engineer." He was also a Volunteer Fireman, Emergency Squad Captain, Assistant Fire Chief and Fire Dispatcher for the Norwich Fire Department for 17 plus years. Dick and Mary were lifelong members of St. Bartholomew's Church. Dick was known for having a great sense of humor and strong love for his family, who affectionately referred to him as "Gumpy." He also earned the title "Jack Of All Trades" through his work as a handyman, carpenter, electrician and plumber. He was even known to deliver a baby or two while an EMT on the Emergency Squad. He was a great business-minded man, who together with his wife, engineered, designed, built and operated "John's Hotdog Stand" in Norwich — in honor of his father, and as a tribute to his parents, who ran a small Mom and Pop Hotdog stand in the 1940s and '50s. He and Mary successfully ran their business for eight years, until finally retiring in 2006. His wish was to finally enjoy life with his family, friends at camp, and their dog companion "Lady." Dick had a very kind heart and passionate soul, and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him, as he touched so many lives. The family will greet friends from 1 to 3 and 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 21, 2013, at Wilson Funeral home in Norwich, N.Y. Memorial services for Mr. Paino will be held on Friday, March 22, at 11 a.m. at St. Bartholomew's Church in Norwich, N.Y. Burial will take place following the service at the Warn-Ten Broeck Cemetery in Brisben, N.Y. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that contributions be made to the Norwich Fire Department, 31 E. Main St., Norwich, N.Y. 13815.

DOT: New W.Va. 14 bridge better for motorists
January 10, 2013
MINERAL WELLS— After almost two months of operation, the new W.Va. 14 bridge and traffic patterns in Mineral Wells appear to be working out well for motorists....
The new bridge is a great improvement to that area. But I do have a question for Brent Walker. He states that they want to plan the traffic patterns with concern for the businesses that are there, and that many of the businesses have been there for years. My question is...Why was not the same concern expressed for the businesses that were harmed when the new Rt. 50 was built? I'm specifically referring to the section just to the west side of I-77. Why was there no concern for Holiday Inn, who was forced out of business, and the others who still remain but have seen a great decline because the access to the location was greatly impeded? Those businesses were there for many years also. I know...that water passed under the bridge long ago. I just want to remind the folks who read this that the WVDOT is not always fair when it comes to some of their decision making. The WVDOT can rest on their laurels this time around, but they really screwed the others over royally.

Hayward police released on Friday the audio of a 911 call made Aug. 14 by an 11-year-old girl as her father, 37-year-old Donny Gene Simmons, argued with his wife. The call ended shortly after Hayward police entered the apartment and fatally shot Simmons.
Dispatcher: Hayward Emergency?

Dispatcher: Hello, caller? Hello? Hello?
Caller: Hello, hi.
Dispatcher: Hi, confirm your address?

Dispatcher: What, what room did your dad lock your mom in?
Caller: His room. And --
Dispatcher: Is he in there with her?
Caller: Yeah, and I don't know what he's doing ...
Dispatcher: Does it sound like he's hitting her?
Caller: Yeah, they're hitting each -- I don't know, I think he's hitting himself or something and he's telling her to hit him or something. He said he was going to kill my mom.
Dispatcher: You heard him say that?
Caller: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Did he say how he would kill her?
Caller: Um, no, but um, my mom's saying, "Don't touch me!" and he still is.
(Caller shouts away from receiver to sister, "Shut the door, [name redacted]!")
(Sister begins shouting indiscernibly in background)
Dispatcher: OK, you're doing a real good job, what is your name?
Caller: [name redacted]
Dispatcher: OK, [name redacted], and is that your brother with you?
Caller: No, it's my sister.

Dispatcher: OK, your sister's with you in your room?
Caller: No, she's out there now.
Dispatcher: What is she doing?
Caller: She's watching. Telling them to stop.
Dispatcher: She's telling them to stop? OK. Has your dad ever hit you or your sister before?
Caller: No.
Dispatcher: Do you think he would hit your sister tonight?
Caller: I don't know. He was drinking.
Dispatcher: He was drinking? OK.
Caller: Yes.
Dispatcher: Have they been fighting all night?

Caller: Simmons.
Dispatcher: Simmons. And what r -- ... is your dad white, black, Asian, Hispanic?
Caller: He's Portuguese and white.
Dispatcher: Oh, OK. And how old is he, do you know?
Caller: Um, I think he's 30 ... 38, or 37?
Dispatcher: Has he ever been arrested before, do you know?
Caller: Yes he has.
Dispatcher: Do you know what for?
Caller: No.
Dispatcher: Have the police come to your house before?
Caller: Not this house.
Dispatcher: No, but where you lived before?
Caller: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Oh OK, and did you see him hit your mom?
Caller: I don't know I'm not out there.
Dispatcher: It's OK. But I mean earlier, when they were fighting. Did you see any of it?
(Inaudible shouting)
Caller: ... Hello?
Dispatcher: Hi, I'm here. We're driving over to you, I'm just asking these questions so I can tell the officers what's going on while they drive there, OK? I know I'm asking a lot of questions, you're doing a really good job. Can you still hear your mom and dad yelling at each other?
Caller: Yeah, she's telling him to leave and then he's like, he's asking for the keys.
Dispatcher: Oh OK, do you know what kind of car he drives?
Caller: Um, we have a van, and then there's another little car.
Dispatcher: OK, what color is the van?
Caller: White. White and, with a black hood ... He's hitting his head against the wall or something.
Dispatcher: Oh OK, and you think it's his head or your mom's?
Caller: I think he's grabbing a knife.
Dispatcher: What do you mean, what do you mean "You think?"
Caller: He's grabbing a knife.
("Dad, I'm begging you!" caller's sister shouts in background.)
Caller: He's saying he's going to kill her.
Dispatcher: He says he's gonna kill her?
Caller: Yeah.
Dispatcher: OK, does he have the knife in his hand?
Caller: Hold on ... he's saying, "I'm gonna give you 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" or something.
Dispatcher: What did he say?
Caller: He's like, counting down to like, kill her or something.
Dispatcher: OK, he has the knife in his hand?
Caller: Yeah --
(Dispatcher turns from receiver, "Can someone get me a Code 3 to stage for that? I think he might ... )
(Profane shouting grows louder, caller's sister begins crying hysterically.)
Dispatcher: OK, we're on the way, OK, you're doing a really good job, I just need you to tell me what's going on and what you're hearing, OK?"
(Twenty seconds of silence on line, hysterical screaming and profane shouting in the background as dispatcher listens in. Caller's sister pleads with her father to stop. Simmons shouts, "Give me the (expletive) keys, now.")
Dispatcher: Hang on one second --
(Dispatcher turns away from receiver, asks, "Did anyone get me an ambulance for that? Oh, OK.")
Dispatcher: Are you still there?
Caller: Yeah.
Dispatcher: OK, what are you hearing now?
Caller: Uh, he was just yelling at her saying, "Give me the keys now."
Dispatcher: Did he stab her?
Caller: Um, I don't, I don't know.
Dispatcher: Does he have, does he have a knife?
Caller: Let me check.
Dispatcher: I don't want you to go out there, I don't want you to do anything that's going to hurt you.
Caller: He's going to stab my mom.
Dispatcher: He has the knife?
Caller: Yeah.
Dispatcher: You can see him?
Caller: Yeah ... Please hurry.
Dispatcher: Where is he, what is he doing with the knife right now?
Caller: He said, "I'm going to hurt you, (expletive)," to my mom.
(Siren can briefly be heard in the background.)
Dispatcher: Oh OK. All right, we're driving there as fast as we can, OK, just tell me what you see ... and is he holding the knife up to her?
Caller: Yeah ... he said, "Give me the keys or I'm going to hurt you."
Dispatcher: What's he doing? He's what?
Caller: He said, "Give me the keys right now or I'm going to hurt you."
(Profane yelling continues in background, dispatcher's radio blares, "Please confirm the address, that address is the offices, it's not apartments.")
(Profane shouting grows louder.)
Dispatcher: If you're in apartment [redacted], then what's the, what's the actual address of your building?
Caller: Um, it's the main office.
Dispatcher: Oh you are ... So you guys are in the office? [name redacted], are you in the office, is that where you live?
Caller: Yeah, like, I live by the office in front. Like, the main building? But I live at [address redacted].
Dispatcher: Oh OK, we just need to make sure that we're going to the right place because our officers are driving there right now, OK, they should be there any second.
Caller: OK, it's like, uh, where the back is, the office. And it's right there across.
Dispatcher: OK, what's going on now?
Caller: Um ...
Dispatcher: Does he still have the knife?
Caller: Um ...
Dispatcher: I don't want you to go in there, but if you can see from where you're at.
Caller: OK.
Dispatcher: Our officers should be coming up there right now, OK? ... [name redacted], tell me what you're seeing, he still has the knife?
Caller: Yeah, I did.
Dispatcher: He has it in his hand?
Caller: Yeah.
Dispatcher: What kind of knife is it?
Caller: It's like ... it's one of those long ones, like, it's silver?
Dispatcher: Is the front door open?
Caller: Um, let me go check.
(Caller's sister to Simmons: "Dad, put it down, now!")
(Dispatcher to officers: "She's checking the front door.")
Dispatcher: [name redacted], they're going to kick the door in, so stay away, OK?
Caller: OK.
Dispatcher: OK, once, are you in your room right now?
(Door explodes open, two shots are fired, caller's sister cries out in shock.)
Caller: It's open.
Dispatcher: OK, I want you to stay right where you are and do exactly what the police officers tell you, OK?
(Caller goes silent, hysterical screams fill the room.)
Dispatcher: [name redacted]?
(Caller's sister continues to cry and scream hysterically, male and female voices yell, "They shot him!")
Dispatcher: [name redacted]?
Caller: Hello?
Dispatcher: Hi.
Caller: They're here.
Dispatcher: OK, talk to the officers, OK?
Caller: OK, thank you.
Dispatcher: OK, [name redacted], you did a good job.
Caller: Thank you.
Dispatcher: All right, buh-bye.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
What do you think? Seems like we're in for him as "another replacement for Modric". IMHO - a totally different player who has shown flashes of promise, but has yet to deliver on those promises. If he is to swap the white of Fulham for the White of Spurs, then i hope he brings all he's got in bunches! (I've seen him disappear in games like our old boy Jenas...and that's a worry).Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I just hope that he's good given his alleged price of £23m! (Surely that cannot be anywhere near the truth? If it is Jol is probably rubbing his hands together, rolling his eyes in a maniacal manner and muttering '....mine, mine...revenge is mine...Levy is a fool I tells ya.......ha, ha - ha ha ha - ha ha....')
- 3 Replies to Jlock
obviously not a spurs fan if you think Levy will suddenly change spots and offer 23m straight away for a player like dembele when his buy out is 15m!! Citeh we aint!!
Ladies and Gents,
Dembele has been one of the most under-rated players in the league last 12-18 months. Did either of you see the Fulham V Manure game? He was by far the best player on the pitch (including RVP), I am delighted with his signature and TBH I am surprised that Manure or another big payer aren't competing for him.
He's costing us £15! less than we spent on Luka, who was unproven when we signed him. Maybe big Mart would like to help us further by taking Jenas and Bentley as part of the deal?
Mart- You're Spurs and you know you are!
I understand that Lloris is on his way in, as is Willian. Lloris is amongst the best GK in Europe, for £12- Bargin!
Willian I know less about, small, quick and extremely technically gifted as you'd expect from a Brazillian.
I see we are also being connected with M'vila, who despite his rep (bad lad) will be amongst the best defensive midfielder's in Europe within 5 years, he has unquestionable ability and he's tougher than vindaloo'd mutton. With Parker, Sandro and the continued development of Livermore do we need M'Vila?
It's my understanding that 5 players will arrive between now and Friday!
If we assume:
are three of them, who else do we think might be a target?
Sturridge? Please! Damiao? Unlikely, but would be superb! Hangeland? Just to stop me worrying about our CB situation, 1 injury and we don't have enough to compete is all competitions.
Word is Jenas is off to Sunderland! good luck, good bye!
Much love to Daws and Luka, still surprised by Daws but £9 mil is a lot for him!
would be a good but not great signing.
scored less & made less assists than modric last season.
not in she same class as modric obviously.
but lets be positive-
he is stronger, faster, taller & better in the air than modric.
he is very good at dribbling & is very skillfull.
im glad we are getting him as he is a good player. but at the same time, he isnt in the same class as modric.
john, he has has a 15m buy out clause. so it wont be 23m.
obviously we would rather modric but he as an isolated purchuse he is a good signing. still only 25.
but he is mentally flaky & as rambro says can drift out of games.
but he is a much better player than jenas!

We're back to talking about tattoos again?
I thought this argument was done years ago. Either you like 'em or you don't. But they're not going anywhere. And, like it or not, they're present in just about every aspect of society.
AOL Fanhouse columnist David Whitley reignited the debate recently when he criticized San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's tattoos. After Whitley, a columnist with a national following, compared Kaepernick to a prison inmate, he was savaged on the Internet and called a racist. Whitley defended himself, pointing out that he has two adopted black daughters and insisting that his views on tattoos are a generational thing. If you've ever done a story about a man who started getting tattoos as a senior citizen, as I have, you'll find that excuse doesn't cut it.
I know plenty of suburban middle-aged men -- and women -- who have tattoos, want tattoos or want to get more tattoos. I know retired suburbanites who recently got tattoos. I have tattoos. They have been mainstream for at least two decades, so the generational defense is a bit hollow -- especially for someone who covers sports.
Style factor
But hey, if you don't like them, you don't like them. Personally, I don't care for Kaepernick's tattoos.
For one thing, there is hardly any color, and there is a lot of writing (mostly Bible verses, from what I understand, which is OK by me but certainly goes against the inmate analogy). You could scribble 100 words on your bicep about how you think Tony Hicks is the best-looking, most brilliant man you've ever met, and I probably wouldn't like it.
OK, that's not entirely true.
Whitley can say he wasn't being racist, but he was essentially, insinuating that Kaepernick, a mixed-race former honors student, is modeling his body art after criminals. "Approximately 98.7 percent of the inmates at California's state prison have tattoos," he wrote, according to the New York Daily News. "I'm also pretty sure less than 1.3 percent of NFL quarterbacks have tattoos. There's a reason for that."
They're afraid of needles?
Never mind that he pulled those blatantly inaccurate (at least in the case of NFL quarterbacks) numbers out of thin air. Whitley compared the quarterback position to that of a high-profile CEO: "And you don't want your CEO to look like he just got paroled."
Right. All quarterbacks want to look like all the clean-cut, well-dressed, camera-ready CEOs who look wonderful while they're testifying before Congress or being led away in handcuffs for insider trading.
I get the tattoo stereotype -- sailors and bikers have them (though I don't know how we constantly honor all those sailors who sacrificed themselves for our country while simultaneously using them as a visual for an ugly stereotype). But the fact is that the concept has evolved. I went to a tattoo convention once and saw things I didn't know could go on a human (I had to stop a guy to look at the exact replica of a George Sumner marinescape covering his shoulder).
We use clothes, jewelry, makeup, facial hair, cars, landscaping, etc., to show the world who we are. Tattoos are an extension of that. It's time to grow up and get over the preconceptions. You don't have to like them -- just like I don't have to like your shoes. But it's a personal choice, and it should be respected.

Wednesday's letters: A sleeping giant
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 6:28 p.m.
To the editor: North Carolina legislators should perhaps take note that if they cripple public education and vote to suppress voter rights, they may wake a sleeping giant: the moderate majority in North Carolina.
And if the moderate majority rises, even the extreme gerrymandering of the state just may not stop the offending legislators from being defeated in the next election.
Linda Miller
Losing our nation
To the editor: The Supreme Courts 2010 Citizens United decision proclaimed corporations to be persons, allowing them unlimited spending on political campaigns to elect and defeat candidates. North Carolina candidates trying to stand up to wealthy special interests have been inaccurately smeared by corporate lobbying and defeated.
Since 2004, North Carolina has had a model of democracy through its publicly financed judicial clean elections, rather than having judges financed largely by attorneys and business interests. It now appears that one billionaire, Art Pope, has single-handedly influenced the N.C. Legislature to kill this and deprive Tarheels of this excellent opportunity to experience democracy.
Many Western North Carolinians believe we are losing our nation to corporate interests, and we support movetoamend.org. We promote the passage of a constitutional amendment declaring that only human beings are persons and that wealth doesnt equate with speech.
To participate, come at 5:30 p.m. July 16 to a call to action against rule by corporations. Hear David Cobb, national spokesperson, in Lord Auditorium in the Pack Library on Haywood Street in Asheville.
Lew Patrie
Attaining peace
To the editor: Will Harman, in his book Global Mind Change, writes, Power tends to concentrate those who have economic, technological and political power are in the best position to gain more, so that without some effective countervailing force, democratic tendencies are thwarted, both within countries and between countries. (Page 150.)
The immature among us will never count wars real cost in lives and resources. They are only concerned with their immediate glory and profit.
I believe there are countervailing forces at work, and we are gaining in numbers and influence. We hope to turn things around so we can live in peace and cooperate with the rest of the world so that they, too, can live in peace.
We can never attain peace by violence. The more wars we win by violence, the more enemies we make and the more we will have to prepare for the next one and so on to perpetuity. The time has come for us to humble ourselves and take our lumps while we persevere peacefully with diplomacy and good will.
Democracy and peace cannot be forced on other countries. We must respect their dignity and sovereignty as we must respect our neighbors right to his own property and religion.
Don Keefauver
Great production
To the editor: Several people have written to express their high praise for the Flat Rock Playhouse production of Evita. Count me in as another person who says, Bravo. Evita was as good as any musicals I have seen. My grandma took me to see Mary Martin in Peter Pan. You get the picture if you know who Mary Martin is!
There has been controversy concerning the Playhouse this past year. In my view, if we can continue to have such fabulous productions, the Playhouse will become a destination. My husband and I are financial supporters of the Playhouse and will continue to be so as long as the productions are of high quality.
So get your tickets for Evita and then Google more about her, as I did when I got home!

Wednesday Morning Update
Debby has weakened to a Tropical Depression. As of now she still has sustained winds near 35mph and is moving NE at 10 mph. She is expected to make her way out of Florida by today. The main threat at this point will be flooding and high waters in Florida. Everything should really start to calm down by this evening.
Tuesday Evening Update
Debby has officially made landfall, with the center of circulation being right above Steinhatchee, FL. The National Hurricane Center is expecting the system to weaken into a Tropical Depression within the next 12 hours, but later on in the week and into the weekend, as it crosses Florida Debby could very well re-intensify as it gets back into those warm Atlantic waters.
While the system is currently weakening, flooding and high winds are still a reality with this storm as it moves over an already saturated Florida. Isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out either.
7am Tuesday Morning Update
Tropical Storm Debby hasn't moved much over the past couple of hours, as it is now located 85 miles west of Cedar Key, Florida, with sustained winds of 45mph. The system is now moving in a more easterly direction at 3mph, which will be the general trend of the storm until it makes landfall within the next couple of days.
Because this system isn't moving very fast, as much as 6 to 12 inches feet of rain is expected to fall in northern parts of the state of Florida. In extreme southeast portions of Georgia, 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected to fall once the storm moves inland.
Tropical storm force winds extend outwards of 240 miles, mainly southeast, of the center of the storm. Areas along the Florida coast will see rising waters and flood conditions as the Debby approaches and makes landfall.
Along with heavy rains and storm surge, isolated tornadoes are also possible across the entire Florida peninsula.
The expected path of the storm hasn't changed since yesterday evening and isn't expected to over the next couple of hours.
For the latest details on Tropical Storm Debby, visit the National Hurricane Center's webpage.. The next update is expected at 10am this morning.
Monday Evening Update
Tropical Storm Debby is currently located about 30 miles south / southwest of Apalachicola, Florida with winds sustained of 45mph and is slowly moving to the northeast at 5mph. Central pressure remains unchanged as of 4pm.
Still not much of a change in pressure, wind speed or location of Tropical Storm Debby -- however, the fact that this storm is sitting just off the coast of Florida, with little movement, is causing big problems in itself.
Tropical Storm force winds are being experienced 230 miles outward from the center of Debby -- mainly on the southeastern side of the storm.
Apalachee Bay to Waccasassa Bay are expecting storm surge over the next couple of days between 3 to 5 feet and Florida's West coast south of Waccasassa Bay is anticipated between 1 to 3 feet.
Flooding will continue to be a major concern with Debby as an additional 6 to 12 inches of rain could fall across Northern Florida, while 4 to 8 inches are anticipated across Central Florida. Isolated amounts of 25 inches of rain are possible in parts of North Florida. A tornado threat will continue across the Eastern Florida Panhandle, Central Florida and Southern Georgia.
National Hurricane Center Official Forecast Path:
Tropical Storm Debby's Wind Field Probability:
The next full update to Tropical Storm Debby's Forecast is expected around 10pm. All the latest details can be found on the National Hurricane Center's webpage.
1pm Monday Afternoon Update
As of 1pm, Tropical Storm Debby is currently located about 50 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola, Florida, with sustained winds of 45mph.
The storm is moving slowly at 5mph to the northeast.
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Florida coast, from Destin to Englewood. Forecasters do not expect a lot of strengthening from Debby in the next few days.
10am Monday Morning Update
As of 10am, Tropical Storm Debby was a little weaker as it moves slowly towards the Florida Coast.
The storm is currently located 75 miles south of Apalachicola, Florida with winds sustained at 45mph and is currently moving northeast at 3mph.
Changes as of 10am: Tropical Storm warnings from the Florida / Alabama border to Destin, Florida have been cancelled.
Tropical Storm Warnings are now in effect along the Florida Gulf Coast from Destin to Englewood.
Tropical Storm force winds are currently extending 230 miles outward from the center of Debby's circulation -- mainly on the southeastern side of the storm.
Many parts of Western Florida are currently experiencing some sort of flooding along with a few damage reports of roofs being lifted off homes due to tropical storm force winds.
Next Intermediate Update from the National Hurricane Center: 1pm
Next Complete Forecast Update: 4pm
5am Monday Morning Update
Parts of Florida are getting a drenching as Tropical Storm Debby moves slowly in the Gulf of Mexico.
Not only is flooding a concern, but the storm has spawned isolated tornadoes, and one has killed at least one person.
4am Monday Morning Update
Tropical Storm Debby is located about 90 miles south / southwest of Apalachiola, Florida. Sustained winds in this storm are at about 50 mph.
Movement of this storm is nearly stationary, with little movement in the forecast over the next few days. There is a lot of uncertainty as to where this storm will travel due to weak steering currents in the ocean, though the projected path of this storm from 10pm Sunday evening remains on track. Little to no impact on Texas weather is expected at this time.
10pm Sunday Night Update
Tropical Storm Debby is currently located 10 miles south / southwest of Apalachicola, Florida and 200 miles east / southeast of the Mouth of the Mississippi River. Winds remain unchanged throughout the day at 60mph, with higher gusts at times. This storm is also currently stationary -- meaning that there is no forward progression towards the Gulf Coast.
Tropical Storm Warnings are posted from the Mississippi / Alabama border eastward to the Suwannee River in Florida.
Debby is anticipated to strengthen gradually, but little movement is expected over the next several days.
Parts of Western Florida have already received close to 10" of rain throughout the past several days leading to flooding throughout part of the state. Multiple waterspouts, funnel clouds and tornadoes have been reported as well over the course of Sunday.
At this time, Texas does not expect to be affected weather-wise by Tropical Storm Debby.
The next update and the official forecast cone expected around 4am.
4pm Sunday Afternoon Update
Tropical Storm Debby continues to leave forecasters uncertain with its path. The threat to Louisiana has lessened. The latest model runs have led the National Hurricane Center to extend the Tropical Storm Watch southward along the west coast of Florida. The Tropical Storm Warning from the mouth of the Pearl River westward to Morgan City has been discontinued.
Tropical Storm Debby is currently located 205 miles ESE of the mouth of the Mississippi River and 100 miles SSW of Apalachicola Florida with sustained winds near 60 mph. There is still a minimum central pressure of 993mb. Debby is SLOWLY moving towards the NE at 3mph. There is no significant motion expected to take place within the next couple of days.
Below is a link to the coastal watches and warnings associated with Tropical Storm Debby.
National Hurricane Center's Watches/Warnings
The next full forecast update will be at 10pm.
1pm Sunday Afternoon Update
Not much has changed with the 1pm Intermediate update put out by the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical Storm Debby is currently centered 200 miles east / southeast from the Mouth of the Mississippi and 105 miles south / southwest of Apalachicola, Florida. Maximum sustained winds continue at 60mph with a slightly slower movement to the northeast at 5mph. The central pressure has dropped to 993mb -- not much of a change but it does show that Debby is slowly starting to strengthen a bit.
Next full forecast update: 4pm
Sunday Morning Update
Tropical Storm Debby is 190 miles east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River and 140 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola, Florida. This storm has central pressure of 994mb, sustained winds of 60mph and is moving northeast at 6mph. Tropical Storm force winds extend 200 miles outward from the north and east of the center of Debby.
The latest forecast path for Tropical Storm Debby has shifted a bit farther to the north from the advisories placed on Saturday afternoon and evening. As of now, the latest official forecast has Debby possibly strengthening into a Category 1 Hurricane by Wednesday morning then possibly coming on land around Southeastern Louisiana by Wednesday afternoon.
Tropical Storm Warnings have been issued from the mouth of the Pearl River westwards to Morgan City in Louisiana (not including New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain at this time) and from the Mississippi / Alabama border eastward to the Suwannee River in Florida. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Florida from south of the Suwannee River to Anclote Key, Florida.
As with any tropical system, storm surge is a big concern. As of now, surge of 3 to 5 feet look possible for Southeastern Louisiana eastward through Apalachee Bay, 1 to 3 feet for the West Coast of Florida south of Apalachee Bay and 1 to 3 feet for Southwestern Florida.
Tropical Storm Debby is expected to produce 5 to 10 inches of rainfall along the immediate Gulf Coast from Southeast Louisiana to the Central West Coast of Florida -- with isolated 15 inch accumulations not out of the question.
Tornado Warnings, funnel clouds and hail have all been reported today along the West Coast of Florida.
Lots of uncertainty continue to remain in the forecast path of Tropical Storm Debby. Many computer models continue to pull Debby to the east through Florida as the storm could get caught up in a trough of low pressure over the Eastern United States. By that same token, many other computer models continue to drift Debby around a large area of high pressure bringing the storm more to the west (and in line with the official National Hurricane Center forecast). It is possible for this forecast path and Cone of Uncertainty to shift dramatically as later forecasts are issued.
Below is a comparison of the official forecast versus all the computer models used to determine the storms direction. Each line in the bottom picture represents a different computer models output:
Next intermediate update from the National Hurricane Center: 1pm
Next Full Update: 4pm
An Air Force Reconnaissance Plane -- otherwise known as Hurricane Hunters -- are currently in the process of wrapping up flying through the area of interest in the Gulf of Mexico known as Invest 96L. Early indications are that wind speed data and pressure requirements are enough to suggest that Tropical Storm Debby has now formed. According to multiple Twitter reports, Navy weather websites and National Hurricane Center systems have renamed Invest 96L to Debby already.
We'll continue to monitor the progress -- but it is anticipated that the first advisories from the National Hurricane Center will come out around 4pm CDT.
Any advisories and Tropical Weather Outlooks will be posted to The National Hurricane Center's Website.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is giving the disturbance in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico a 90% chance of becoming either a tropical depression or tropical storm today -- and leaning more towards naming our next tropical storm.
This morning's Tropical Weather Outlook stated that it seem the center of circulation with this low was located roughly 275 miles south / southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi. Buoy data 130 miles east / northeast of this center has detected tropical storm force winds within a few hours of 7am.
Twitter reports a Carnival Cruise ship near the center of this low pressure measured 1002mb pressure and 10 to 11 foot waves. Between that and the buoy data, it is not certain -- although it looks like -- we very well could have Debby in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Hunters will be sent into the storm later this afternoon to verify what is being suggested by satellite and buoy data. While this could still be just a depression at this point, it looks like the National Hurricane Center could be leaning towards naming this Tropical Storm Debby once they receive word from the reconnaissance plane after it investigates later this afternoon.
Where will this storm go?
That is still a very tough question. Looking at our computer models this morning (each line below indicates a different model) there is a good split between taking this system west to South Texas / Northern Mexico, northward towards the Alabama / Mississippi Coast and a few that are still leaning towards Florida after being picked up by a trough of low pressure on the eastern side of the country.
In terms of the Upper Texas Coast and a bigger impact for the Brazos Valley -- still not out of the question, although -- we don't anticipate a large impact here. A few computer models over the past few days have brought this storm closer to our part of the state, but with a strong ridge of high pressure setting up over the center of the country, it is likely to push any activity to South Texas / Northern Mexico should this system move west.
Again, still hard to be certain -- but something that should be watched throughout the day and weekend. A great graphic was put out by the National Weather Service in Tallahassee this morning, showing the uncertainty of this system and heeding the warning from the NHC that tropical storm watches or warnings could be placed for the Northern Gulf Coast at some point this weekend.
Details and updates as they become available. Of course, you can always follow the latest on Twitter (@KBTXShel)
