12 salt domecaverns in statehave thin walls

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — At least 12 salt-dome cavernsin Louisiana are as close to the edge of their supporting un-derground formations as the one that collapsed last year andcaused a huge sinkhole in Assumption Parish.

Data given to The Advocate by the state shows those 12caverns, along with 15 others, would violate proposed rulesmandating a buffer zone to ensure caverns are structurallysound.

The Texas Brine cavern collapse — which forced the ongo-ing evacuation of many homes near the sinkhole because offlammable gas bubbling up through aquifers — prompted theDepartment of Natural Resources’ Office of Conservation torewrite rules.

Environmentalists, some Bayou Corne residents and oth-ers fighting a proposed gas storage cavern expansion at theJefferson Island Dome under Lake Peigneur in Iberia Parishplan to speak at a public hearing Tuesday on the proposedregulations.

The Texas Brine Co. cavern that caused the sinkhole wasmined too close to the outer edge of a salt formation called theNapoleonville Dome, which left a relatively thin wall of saltbetween the cavity and less stable outer rock. The wall failed,creating the sinkhole and freeing oil and natural gas from un-derground deposits.

Marylee Orr of the Louisiana Environmental Action Net-work said she’s concerned about the number of caverns withthin walls.

“I think we need to be cautious because if there is a prob-lem, it is not a small problem. You know what I mean?” Orrsaid.

State officials say there’s no indication of problems likethose that caused the Assumption failure.

“To date no other cavern facility has been found to demon-strate the type of warning signs that would indicate impend-ing structural failure of the nature experienced by TexasBrine’s Oxy Geismar 3,” said Patrick Courreges, communica-tions director for DNR.

Courreges said that while there have been no signs of prob-lems with other caverns, the Office of Conservation is playingit safe because of the possible risk.

The proposals include a new 300-foot minimum safety dis-tance from what is called the “edge of salt,” along with newrequirements for long-term monitoring of some caverns.

After the Texas Brine collapse, the state required salt-dome operators to show how close the 256 caverns inLouisiana are to the edge of the salt formations that housethem.

In all, 27 caverns are closer than the proposed 300-footminimum distance for future caverns.

Under the proposed regulations, the six that are 100 feet orcloser to the salt’s edge would be permanently closed, withlong-term monitoring established. Five of the six are alreadyinactive or plugged.

Operators of the remaining 21 caverns between 100 feetand 300 feet from the edge would have a year to demonstratethey can continue to operate safely. Many of those are nolonger active.

9 abandoned wells in St. Mary Parish marked for attentionNine abandoned oil wells

in St. Mary Parish are on theLouisiana Department ofNatural Resources list ofnearly 2,800 such wells inLouisiana that the state haslisted as needing attention.

The Department scoresthese wells with four prioritylevels that range from urgentto low. Two abandoned wellsin the Horseshoe Bayou Fieldscored 33 and were ranked inurgent need of attention bythe Department. The wellsare on State Lease 7968 andwere owned by Stratco Oper-ating Company, a defunctAustin, Texas, company.They were both originallyput on the list in 2003.

An abandoned AtchafalayaBay oil well, Well No. 3 onState Lease 1593 in theAtchafalaya Bay Field, hadtopped the priority score in

2010 with an urgency scoreof 56 but subsequent obser-vations have downgraded thescore to 29 which put it at thetop of the high priority level.The well was deemed an or-phan well in 2005 and it re-mains on the state list. Thewell had been owned by Dun-hill Resources Inc., a bank-rupt Houston company.

There are two other wellsin the parish that are given ahigh priority level by the De-partment. There are three or-phaned wells in St. MaryParish with a moderate pri-ority level and one with lowpriority level.

The DNR said abandonedoil and gas wells or, “or-phaned wells,” are a problemin the state which it is ad-dressing through theLouisiana Oilfield SiteRestoration Program.

Department spokesmanPatrick Courreges said theprogram was “created in1993 to take care of wells forwhich no viable responsibleparty can be located, or suchparty has failed to maintainthe well site in accordancewith State rules and regula-tions.” He said that followinga specific notification proce-dure, well sites are declaredorphaned after being sent tothe State Register to be pub-lished.

The program is set up toproperly plug and abandonorphan wells in addition toproperly restoring the site toapproximate pre-well siteconditions suitable for rede-velopment. Sometimes aban-doned wells in waterways donot have lights or navigation-al aids which make them adanger. Wells that pose a

greater threat to the environ-ment, waterways or homesare scored higher in priorityto be plugged, cleaned up orlighted, Courreges said.

The Louisiana Environ-mental Action Network hascome out with what it calls aDirty 100 list based on a2010 DNR document.

“The “Dirty 100” are the100 orphaned wells that areranked as having the highestpriority for the need of per-manent plugging,” the Net-work said in a news release.

“They are leaking oil ornatural gas, are currentlycausing an environmentalproblem and may also pres-ent a hazard or concern tohuman health and safety,”the news release said.

Two thirds of the 8,582 or-phaned well sites the DNRhas identified in the past 20

years have been taken off thebooks, with 5,750 wells re-moved. Last year, the OilfieldSite Restoration Programspent about $3 million toplug and clear 42 sites fromthe list, Courreges said.

Revenue for the OilfieldSite Restoration Program isgenerated from a fee on oiland gas production in thestate paid by Louisiana oiland gas operators. The fee forfull-rate production consistsof one and one-half cents(.015 cents) for every barrelof oil and condensate pro-duced, and three-tenths ofone cent for every thousandcubic feet of gas produced.

The fund normally collectsabout $4.5 million each yearbut Courreges said lastyear’s collection was about$4.2 million.

The Department of Natur-

al Resources website said oil-field site restoration projectsrange in size and scope fromthe repair of small wellheadleaks and the removal of ex-ploration and production re-lated trash and debris to theplugging of wells and re-moval of associated facilitiesand structures. Orphan wellsare found throughout theState in all areas wherethere has been historic oiland gas activity.

These sites deteriorateover time due to neglect fromthe operator of record andtherefore become susceptibleto releasing oil, gas, and salt-water to the surroundingarea. The Oilfield SiteRestoration Program has ad-dressed sites near schoolsand public buildings, in sen-sitive coastal wetland areas,and near residential areas.

Congress plans tough Iransanctions if new deal fails

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers fromboth parties said Sunday they are skepticalthat Iran will stick to a new nuclear deal andwant Congress to prepare beefed up economicpenalties to hit Tehran if the accord fallsapart.

In an early morning announcement,Tehran agreed Sunday to a six-month pauseof its nuclear program while diplomats con-tinue talks aimed at preventing Iran from de-veloping a nuclear weapon. International ob-servers are set to monitor Iran’s nuclear sitesand ease about $7 billion of the crippling eco-nomic sanctions.

But the announcement, after months of se-cret face-to-face talks between the UnitedStates and Iran, left many U.S. lawmakersdeeply doubtful of the most significant agree-ment between Washington and Tehran inmore than three decades of estrangement.The chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela-tions Committee, Democratic Sen. BobMenendez of New Jersey, said Sunday hewould work with colleagues to have sanctionsagainst Iran ready “should the talks falter orIran fail to implement or breach the interimagreement.”

Such distrust that Iran was negotiating in

good faith ran across political parties that areotherwise deeply divided. And ready-to-gosanctions seemed to have rare bipartisansupport across both of Congress’ chambers.

The House in July passed its latest roundof sanctions against Iran with backing fromboth parties but the measure stalled in theSenate.

President Barack Obama convinced Senateleadership to hold off consideration of themeasure while negotiators pursued an agree-ment. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reidof Nevada agreed to the request but said hischamber would take up new sanctions in De-cember — with or without an agreement withIran.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, a member of his par-ty’s leadership team, said he was “disappoint-ed” by the deal, which he called dispropor-tional. The New York Democrat said sanc-tions forced Iran to negotiate and said heplans further discussions with colleagues.

“This agreement makes it more likely thatDemocrats and Republicans will join togetherand pass additional sanctions when we re-turn in December,” Schumer said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Scien-tists have uncovered a 3,700-year-old wine cellar in the ru-ins of a Canaanite palace inIsrael, and chemical analysisshows this is where they keptthe good stuff.

Samples from the ceramicjars suggest they held a luxu-

rious beverage that was evi-dently reserved for banquets,researchers said.

“It’s not wine that somebodyis just going to come homefrom a hard day and kick backand drink,” said Andrew Kohof Brandeis University. Hefound signs of a blend of ingre-

dients that may have includedhoney, mint, cedar, tree resinsand cinnamon bark.

The discovery confirms howsophisticated wines were atthat time, something suggest-ed only by ancient texts, saidEric Cline of George Washing-ton University. He, Koh andAssaf Yasur-Landau of theUniversity of Haifa in Israelspoke to reporters Thursdaybefore their work was pre-sented Friday at a meeting ofthe American Schools of Ori-ental Research.

The wine cellar was foundthis summer in palace ruinsnear the modern town of Na-hariya in northern Israel. Re-searchers found 40 ceramicjars, each big enough to holdabout 13 gallons, in a singleroom. There may be morewine stored elsewhere, butthe amount found so farwouldn’t be enough to supplythe local population, which iswhy the researchers believe itwas reserved for palace use,Cline said.

The unmarked jars are allsimila,r as if made by thesame potter, Yasur-Landausaid. Chemical analysis indi-cates that the jars held redwine and possibly white wine,Koh said. No liquid was left,and he analyzed residues hehad removed from the jars.

Patrick McGovern of theUniversity of Pennsylvania,an expert in ancient wine-making, said the discovery“sheds important new light”on the development of wine-making in ancient Canaan,from which it later spread toEgypt and across the Mediter-ranean. He said the chemicalanalysis would have to bepublished before the ingredi-ents of the wine could be as-sessed.

Curtis Runnels, an archae-ologist at Boston University,called the finding significantnot only in showing the so-phistication of the wine, butalso in suggesting that it wasmeant specifically for palaceuse. He noted that the chemi-cal analysis showed each jarheld wine from the samerecipe, showing the “consis-tency and control you’d expectin a palace.”

BATH, Maine (AP) — Cap-tain Kirk’s futuristic-lookingvessel sports cutting-edgetechnology, new propulsionand powerful armaments, butthis ship isn’t the StarshipEnterprise.

The skipper of the stealthyZumwalt is Navy Capt.James Kirk, and yes, he’sused to the jokes about thename he shares with the TVstarship commander playedby actor William Shatner.

Kirk takes it in stride.“I don’t take any offense,”

he told The Associated Pressin an interview. “If it’s a help-

ful moniker that brings atten-tion to help us to do what weneed to do to get the ship intothe fleet and into combat op-erations, then that’s fine.”

While it’s no starship, thetechnology-laden Zumwalttaking shape at Maine’s BathIron Works is unlike any oth-er U.S. warship.

The Navy’s largest destroy-er will feature a compositedeckhouse with hidden radarand sensors and an angularshape that minimizes itsradar signature. Its unusualwave-piercing hull will re-duce the ship’s wake.

It’s the first U.S. surfacewarship to use electricpropulsion, and its powerplant is capable of producingenough electricity to light upa small city and to power fu-ture weapons like the electro-magnetic rail gun.

Inside, it’s just as unique.The number of sailors neededto stand watch will be re-duced through the use ofcameras and video monitorsthat show what’s going onoutside. The bridge will in-deed look like somethingfrom “Star Trek” with twochairs surrounded by nearly

360 degrees of video moni-tors.

A handful of reporters ac-companying Defense Secre-tary Chuck Hagel on Thurs-day got a first look at theship’s interior while it’s underconstruction. It’s due to bechristened in the spring.

The 610-foot-long ship hasthe highest level of automa-tion on a U.S. surface war-ship, with systems in place tocombat flooding and to putout fires, among other things.Because of automation andtechnology, the number ofsailors needed to run it will

be nearly half the current Ar-leigh Burke-class destroyers.

All this whiz-bam technolo-gy comes at a price thatsailors couldn’t have imag-ined in the 1960s, when thefirst episodes of “Star Trek”aired on television. The first-in-class Zumwalt will costnorthward of $3.5 billion, aprice tag so high that theNavy was forced to reduce thenumber of ships in the seriesto just three.

The “Star Trek” compar-isons were inevitable even be-fore “Star Trek” actor GeorgeTakei used his popular Face-book page to point out thesimilarities of Kirk’s name.

Kirk, a Bethesda, Md., na-tive and 1990 Naval Academygraduate, said the jokesabout his name began earlyin his career, with colleaguestelling him that they couldn’t

wait for him to reach therank of captain.

The Navy skipper pointsout that his name is actuallyJames A. Kirk, while the fic-tional Starship Enterprisecaptain was James “Jim” T.Kirk. But that didn’t stop himfrom earning the call sign“Tiberius” — the fictionalKirk’s middle name — whileworking with an aircraft car-rier strike group. That waslater shortened to just “T.”

While he doesn’t mind theStarfleet jokes, Kirk said thatpeople sometimes focus toomuch on the technology in-corporated in the futuristic-looking Zumwalt.

“Yes, we’re going to talkabout all of the wonderfultechnology, but it still re-quires the sailors who are go-ing to bring her to life,” hesaid.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP)— Investigators are plan-ning to release a long-await-ed report on the Newtownschool shooting, nearly ayear after the massacre of 20children and six women in-side Sandy Hook ElementarySchool.

The summary report bythe lead investigator, State’sAttorney Stephen SedenskyIII, could provide some of thefirst official answers to ques-tions about the history of thegunman and the police re-sponse to one of the worstschool shootings in Americanhistory.

The Dec. 14 shootingplunged the small New Eng-land community into mourn-ing, elevated gun safety tothe top of the agenda forPresident Barack Obamaand led states across thecountry to re-evaluate laws

on issues including schoolsafety.

The report expected Mon-day afternoon will not in-clude the full evidence file ofConnecticut State Police,which is believed to totalthousands of pages. The de-cision to continue withhold-ing the bulk of the evidenceis stirring new criticism ofthe secrecy surrounding theinvestigation.

Dan Klau, a Hartford at-torney who specializes inFirst Amendment law, saidthe decision to release asummary report before thefull evidence file is a reversalof standard practice and oneof the most unusual ele-ments of the investigation.

“What I found troublingabout the approach of thestate’s attorney is that frommy perspective, he seems tohave forgotten his job is to

represent the state of Con-necticut,” Klau said. “Hisconduct in many instanceshas seemed more akin to anattorney in private practicerepresenting Sandy Hookfamilies.”

Sedensky said he could notcomment.

Twenty-year-old AdamLanza killed his mother in-side their Newtown home be-fore driving to his former ele-mentary school, where hefired off 154 shots with aBushmaster .223-caliber ri-fle within five minutes. Hekilled himself with a hand-gun as police arrived.

Warrants released inMarch detailed an arsenal ofweapons found inside theLanza home. But authoritieshave not provided details onthe police response to theshooting, any mental healthrecords for Lanza and

whether investigators foundany clues to a possible mo-tive for the rampage.

Sedensky has gone tocourt to fight release of the911 tapes from the schooland resisted calls from Con-necticut’s governor to di-vulge more informationsooner.

The withholding of 911recordings, which are rou-tinely released in other cas-es, has been the subject of alegal battle between The As-sociated Press and Sedenskybefore the state’s Freedom ofInformation Commission,which ruled in favor of theAP, and now Connecticut’scourt system. A hearing isscheduled Monday in NewBritain Superior Court onwhether the judge can hearthe recordings as he consid-ers an appeal.

NY troopers in big SUVs peer in on texting driversMOUNT PLEASANT, N.Y.

(AP) — Even for a statetrooper, it’s not easy to spotdrivers who are texting.Their smartphones are downon their laps, not at theirears. And they’re probablynot moving their lips.

That’s why New York hasgiven state police 32 tall, un-marked SUVs to better peerdown at drivers’ hands, partof one of the nation’s most ag-gressive attacks on textingwhile driving that also in-cludes steeper penalties anddozens of highway “TextingZones,” where motorists canpull over to use their devices.

“Look at that,” TrooperClayton Howell says, pullingalongside a black BMW whilepatrolling the highwaysnorth of New York City. “Thisguy’s looking down. I can seehis thumb on the phone. Ithink we got him.”

After a quick wail of the

siren and a flash of thetucked-away flashers, an ac-countant from the suburbs ispulled over and politely givena ticket.

New York is among 41states that ban text messag-ing for all drivers and isamong only 12 that prohibitusing hand-held cellphones.The state this year stiffenedpenalties for motoristscaught using hand-held de-vices to talk or text, increas-ing penalty points on thedriving record from three tofive, along with tickets thatcarry fines of up to $200.

With the tough new penal-ties came tougher enforce-ment. In a two-month crack-down this summer, troopershanded out 5,553 tickets fortexting while driving, com-pared to 924 in the same pe-riod last year.

In New York’s recent push,91 existing rest areas and

turnoffs on the stateThruway and other highwayshave been rebranded “Tex-ting Zones,” some advertisedwith blue signs declaring “Itcan wait. Text stop 5 miles.”

“To our knowledge, NewYork is the first,” JonathanAdkins, deputy executive di-rector of the Governors High-way Safety Association, saidof the texting turnoffs. “It’san intriguing approach andone that we think will paydividends and be duplicatedin other states.”

The National HighwayTraffic Safety Administrationsays that at any momentduring daylight hours,660,000 drivers in the UnitedStates are texting, using cell-phones or otherwise manipu-lating electronic devices. Itsays more than 3,300 peoplewere killed and 421,000 in-jured in crashes caused bydistracted driving last year.

Major Michael Kopy, com-mander of the state policetroop patrolling the corridorbetween New York City andAlbany, quoted a VirginiaTech study that found textingwhile driving increased thechance of a collision by 23times and took eyes off theroad for five seconds — morethan the length of a footballfield at highway speed.

Kopy worries that as teensget their driver’s licenses,texting on the road will be-come more prevalent. “Morepeople are coming of drivingage who have had thesehand-held devices for manyyears, and now as they startto drive, they’re putting thetwo together, texting anddriving, when they should-n’t.”

Howell’s SUV, called aCITE vehicle for ConcealedIdentity Traffic Enforcement,is designed to catch just such

drivers. Mousy gray in color,it swoops in undetected whenHowell suspects a violation.

“You can see how obliviousthey are to this vehicle,”Howell said as a womanholding a phone paid him nomind. “I’m right next tothem, and they have noidea.”

The driver, a doctor, saidshe’d been running late andwas on the phone to her of-fice. It didn’t qualify as anemergency under the rules,but she got off with a warn-ing.

The accountant who wasticketed, Chris Pecchia, ofMontrose, told Howell hehadn’t been texting butrather was looking at a mapdisplayed on his phone. Hewas cited anyway, for drivingwhile using a portable elec-tronic device.

“His story’s believable, buteven a GPS has to be hands-

free,” Howell said.Pecchia said afterward: “I

can’t look at a map? What’sthe difference between look-ing at a paper map and look-ing at a map on the phone?”

Still, he said, he under-stood why the trooper pulledhim over. He said he wouldnever text while driving andhas forbidden his 17-year-olddaughter from doing so.

Howell pulled over a regis-tered nurse because she hadearbuds in both ears. Onlyone earbud is permittedwhile driving. She got offwith a warning after explain-ing she was listening to herGPS’s turn-by-turn direc-tions.

“I tend to give people thebenefit of the doubt,” Howellsaid. “It’s my philosophy toeducate, and when you pullsomebody over and give thema warning, that’s a prettygood education.”

New ship’s Captain Kirk is used to ‘Star Trek’ jokes

Report due on Sandy Hook investigation

Wine cellar reveals sophisticated drink

By Allen Owings, LSUAgCenter horticulturist

HAMMOND, La. – Thesasanqua species of camellia isone of our most popular flow-ering shrubs for late fallthrough early spring. These goby the scientific names ofCamellia sasanqua.

Sasanquas are typicallysmaller growing than plantsthat we normally call camel-lias. They also have finer-tex-tured foliage. They bloom frommid-October through Decem-ber or January. Sasanquas areabundant these days due tothe popularity of the varietyShiShi Gashira.

ShiShi Gashira is the mostpopular of the dwarf-typecamellias for Louisiana land-scapes. These-smaller growingplants reach 4 to 5 feet in thelandscape. Flowers are rosepink.

ShiShi Gashira is actuallyanother species of camellia,technically Camellia hiemalis.This species sometimesblooms earlier than the sasan-qua species and is also morecold hardy.

Popular camellia sasanquasin Louisiana are Bonanza,Yuletide, Stephanie Golden,

Leslie Ann and Sparkling Bur-gundy.

New to the plant market afew years ago is the great Oc-tober Magic series of Camelliahiemalis developed by BobbyGreen of Green Nurseries inFairhope, Ala. Plants includeOctober Magic Bride, OctoberMagic Dawn, October MagicInspiration, October Magic Or-chid, October Magic Rose andOctober Magic Snow.

Bride is a small, very dou-ble, pure pink flowering shrubwith a dense conical growthhabit. Mature size is 4 to 6 feettall by 3 to 4 feet wide. Thisvariety is a profuse bloomer.

Dawn has large rose-formflowers. Blooms are blends ofpink and resemble flowers of aCamellia japonica. Plantsreach 4 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 4feet wide. The variety is greatfor a single specimen plantingor for use as an intermediatehedge. Plants have dark greenfoliage.

Inspiration is a favorite. Ithas large double flowers thatare white with a narrow ma-roon margin. New spring fo-liage is maroon. Plants reach 6to 8 feet tall and will be 4 to 5feet wide when mature.

Another favorite is Orchid,with white to blush smallsemidouble flowers that haveorchid pink shades to thepetals. Many blooms cover thisplant. Plants reach 3 to 5 feettall and 3 to 4 feet wide.

Rose has small very doublesalmon-rose blooms. Thisplant is an early bloomer andhas a columnar, dense, uprighthabit. Plants reach 6 to 8 feettall and 3 to 4 feet wide.

Snow has large, double,white flowers with a magentaedge. New spring foliage iscopper tinged. Plants are com-pact and mounding but reach5 to 7 feet tall and 4 to 5 feetwide at maturity.

Success with sasanquas andother dwarf camellias dependson the planting site. Part sunto part shade is best, especial-ly for younger plants. Choose alocation that receives fourhours to six hours of direct sunin the morning and shade inthe afternoon or a spot that re-ceives light, dappled shadethroughout the day.

When planted in full sun,sasanquas are subject to morestressful conditions. The fo-liage sometimes has a yellow-ish look, and flower buds maynot open properly. Plants infull sun also may be more sus-ceptible to injury in freezingweather.

Good drainage also is essen-tial. Do not plant camellias inareas that are poorly drainedor where water settles after arain. If an area has poordrainage, plant camellias onmounds or in raised beds.

These plants are acid-lov-ing, and an alkaline soil (pHabove 7) can limit their abilityto obtain some nutrients, es-pecially iron. When you arepreparing the area for plant-ing, you should incorporate asoil acidifier to help make thesoil more acid if your soil is al-kaline. Three readily availablematerials for this are groundsulfur, iron sulfate (copperas)and aluminum sulfate. Cop-peras should generally beused because it is faster actingthan sulfur and provides addi-tional iron.

Fertilize in the spring asnew growth begins – aboutMarch or early April. Use afertilizer labeled for acid-lov-ing plants or any general-pur-pose fertilizer according to themanufacturer’s label direc-tions.

Sasanquas and camelliasare part of our Southern gar-dening heritage. A few well-placed specimens will bright-en up your landscape duringthese late fall and early win-ter days when few othershrubs are blooming.

By Abigail Van BurenDEAR ABBY: I have been dating my

boyfriend, “Jose,” for a year. Before that, wewere friends for five years. Ever since I’veknown him, he and his half-sister, “Blanca,”have danced together at parties. We’re all inour mid-20s.

They dance salsa, merengue and otherstyles of music together. I used to think itwas cute, but now that Jose and I are a cou-ple, I find it annoying and a little creepy. Hesays Blanca loves to dance and can’t alwaysfind good partners.

She gets mad when he dances with me in-stead of her during her favorite songs. I toldJose he can dance only with me at the par-ties or only with her. Not both. I don’t wantto share him, and honestly, people joke thatit’s incestuous.

How can I make him understand howmuch this bothers me? What can I say to hishalf-sister when she gives me the evil eye?My relationship with her is friendly, but itwas better before I started dating her half-brother. — TAKES ONLY TWO TO TANGO

DEAR TAKES ONLY TWO: If you want to

hang onto Jose, simmer down and be lessheavy-handed. Dictating who he can dancewith only makes you appear to be jealous, in-secure and controlling.

Because he and Blanca have danced to-gether for so long, it’s understandable thatshe expects to dance with him. My advice isto be gracious and hold onto your temper, be-cause if you don’t, your relationship withBlanca will no longer be friendly, and it couldcost you your boyfriend.

******DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law is a good

person, but she never wants to be around usor our children. She lives only 30 minutesaway, has only one child (my husband) andhas been widowed for more than five years.She has never called our house, didn’t visitwhen the kids were born and usually mailsgift cards at birthdays and Christmas.

My own mother died a few months ago.Our kids are almost 13 and 10, so they’re notbabies anymore. I try to reach out to her, butshe is cold and not responsive. What else canI do? — NO GRANDMA IN AUSTIN, TEXAS

DEAR NO GRANDMA: What does your

husband think about this? Has his motheralways been this way? Could the problem bethat she dislikes you or is disappointed inher son?

There is no way to force a connection onsomeone who is unwilling, and I’m not sureyou would even want to. It appears yourmother-in-law isn’t maternal and prefers herindependence. I’m sorry that your feelingsare hurt, but if you crave closeness with anolder woman, you will have to look elsewhereto find it.

******DEAR ABBY: My family is having a

Thanksgiving conundrum. My uncle and hiswife have offered to host the holiday. My un-cle hesitated about having itbecause he recently lost hisjob. My grandmother decid-ed that each couple shouldchip in $50 to pay for thedinner. (The total amountwill be $300.) We will allmake and bring dishes withus as well. Their childrenare not being asked to payanything.

My grandmother thinksthis is a good idea because itwould cost us more than $50to go out to dinner forThanksgiving, but some ofus think it’s odd that we’rebeing charged to attend ourfamily’s dinner. No one elsein the family is able or will-ing to host, so the only otheroption would be going to arestaurant. Any thoughts?— TURKEY TROUBLES INPHILADELPHIA

DEAR TURKEY TROU-BLES: Just this — pay up!And while you’re offeringthanks at the dinner table,be grateful that the personin need of financial help thisholiday season isn’t you.

LSN, The Daily ReviewAfter 32 years in business, Marilyn Gautreaux of

Marilyn's Gold Crown Hallmark is retiring."It's been a great ride," Gautreaux said. "When I think

about all the people who have walked through the door over the years, I am truly humbled. When I look back to all the young people I've employed over the years, I have to smile. Many have moved on to successful careers and families of their own. A few not as young joined me for a time and have continued to be my friend. I am deeply appreciative."

Gautreaux continued, "And, I think about my mother Vera who worked with me for so many years. Her presence was important to me but also to many of my local customers and friends who continue to remind me from time to time."

"When I started in business, Butch and I had two young sons in grade school. And today, in addition, we have two daughters-in-law and six grandchildren three in high school and three in college. I thank God that I can retire before any of them," Gautreaux said.

EAST RUTHERFORD,N.J. (AP) — This one wasn’t aGiants-sized gift. Tony Romoand the embattled DallasCowboys took this pivotalgame and all but buried NewYork’s slim hopes of makingthe playoff.

Romo threw two touch-down passes and led a 14-play drive that set up DanBailey’s 35-yard field goal onthe final play as the Cowboyswon 24-21 Sunday, endingthe Giants’ four-game win-ning streak and denyingthem a place in NFL history.

“I thought it was a greatdrive,” coach Jason Garrettsaid after the Cowboys (6-5)moved into a first-place tiewith idle Philadelphia in theNFC East with five gamesleft. “That’s really when youseparate yourself as a quar-terback, as an offensive team,as a team in general.”

Romo was 6 of 9 passing for

67 yards, including two cru-cial third-down throws, onthe winning drive that cov-ered the final 4:45. It cameright after New York (4-7)tied the game on a 4-yardtouchdown pass from EliManning to Louis MurphyJr., and a 2-point conversionrun by Andre Brown, whorushed for 127 yards.

Wide receiver Dez Bryant,who kept the drive alive witha 19-yard catch on third-and-7 from the Dallas 23, said Ro-mo had one message enteringthe final huddle.

“We’re about to do downthere and score this touch-down and win,” Bryant re-called Romo saying.

It was about the only mis-take Romo made in the clos-ing minutes. However, a fieldgoal was just as good.

“Everyone understood howimportant the game was forboth teams,” said Romo, who

finished 23 of 38 for 250yards. “They won four in arow to put themselves backinto position. They had ahome game. I could tell bytheir words leading up to itthat they were confident.That’s what makes the gamegreat. It was a big buildup,but we understood that thegame was going to be playedon Sunday.”

Romo said his onlythoughts on the final drivewere scoring.

“You’ve got to go get a fieldgoal or touchdown and winthe game,” he said. “You ei-ther feel comfortable in thosesituations or you don’t. I’vebeen in that situation thepast three or four weeks. Youjust have to go out and do it.”

Romo did it, and it left theGiants wondering about whatthey gave away in two lossesto Dallas.

“This is tough,” said defen-sive end Mathias Kiwanuka,whose roughing the passerpenalty set up one of Romo’sTD passes to Jason Witten.“This is the NFL and all theteams are pretty evenlymatched. Obviously we haveour work cut out, but until weare mathematically eliminat-ed, we’re not going to pull offthe gas at all.”

Eleven of the 16 teams inthe NFC have better recordsthan the Giants, so theirchances of making the post-season are dim.

“Something had to happenfor us to get the ball backagain,” coach Tom Coughlinsaid.

Romo hit Witten on TDs of20 and 2 yards, and Dallas

got a defensive touchdown ona 50-yard fumble return byJeff Heath.

The Giants, seeking to be-come the second NFL team towin five straight after losingthe first six, rallied over thepast month to get into posi-tion to challenge for a playoffspot. They knew this was amust-win game because theyhad lost to Dallas in the sea-son opener after turning overthe ball six times.

True to form, New Yorktried another comeback afterfalling behind 21-6 in thethird quarter.

But Romo took it from theGiants on the final drive thatstarted at the Dallas 20 on acold and blustery day. He hitBryant on the third play ofthe drive to keep it alive andadded throws of 17 yards toMiles Austin and 13 to ColeBeasley, the latter on third-and-10 from the New York 28.

With the wind howling, along field goal would havebeen tough. Instead, thatplay gave Dallas a first downat the 15 and Bailey convert-ed after Romo took a coupleof kneel-downs.

The Giants’ tying drive waskept alive by a 22-yard passfrom Manning to Victor Cruzon third-and-8 from the Dal-las 27. Before that, the Cow-boys seemingly took controlwith a 65-yard drive Romocapped with his second touch-down pass to Witten. Thedrive continued because ofKiwanuka’s penalty.

Manning’s 27-yard pass totight end Brandon Myersbrought New York within 21-13.

The Giants handed theCowboys the season opener,committing six turnovers in a36-31 loss. New York contin-ued its charity in the re-match.

Cruz caught a pass nearmidfield and had the ballstripped by Orlando Scan-drick. Heath picked it up andhad a clear-path to the endzone. The fumble returnstarted a run of four straightscores.

NOTES: Manning finished16 of 30 for 174 yards. ... Mur-

phy’s catch was his second ofthe season. ... Dallas S BarryChurch had a game-high 13tackles. ... Giants DT CullenJenkins had two of NewYork’s four sacks. He had ahalf-sack in the first 10games. ... Giants WR HakeemNicks did not play because ofan abdominal injury. ... Gi-ants C Jim Cordle left earlyin the second quarter with aknee injury. ... Dallas CBMorris Claiborne and PR-KRDwayne Harris both left withhamstring injuries.

By The Associated PressThis latest version of Brady

vs. Manning was a rout.And then it wasn’t, stretch-

ing deep into overtime beforeNew England’s biggest win-ning rally in franchise historygave it a 34-31 victory overDenver.

In a game of turnovers infrigid and windy conditionsSunday night, Tom Bradybrought the Patriots backfrom a 24-0 halftime hole cre-ated mostly by three lost fum-bles. But Peyton Manning andDenver got sloppy in the sec-ond half, then Tony Carterhad a punt hit him late in OT.New England (8-3) recovered,leading to Stephen Gostkows-ki’s 31-yard field goal to win itwith 1:56 remaining.

“We had some of those playsin the first half that didn’t re-ally go our way,” said Brady,who is 10-4 against Manning.“It was nice to get a goodbounce when we needed it.

“It was not our best night,glad we won.”

The bitter defeat for the vis-iting Broncos (9-2) ruined asuperb night for running backKnowshon Moreno. He rushedfor 224 yards on 37 carriesand a touchdown.

“Hated the way that ended,not getting a chance to get ourhands on the ball,” Manningsaid.

Week 12 began when NewOrleans (9-2) beat Atlanta (2-9) 17-13 on Thursday night.The Monday night game hasSan Francisco (6-4) at Wash-ington (3-7).

Idle this week are Seattle(10-1), Cincinnati (7-4),Philadelphia (6-5) and Buffalo(4-7).

___Patriots 34, Broncos 31Brady outdueled Manning,

throwing for 344 yards andthree TDs, completing 34 of 50passes. Manning was 19 for36 for 150 yards with two TDpasses.

Denver took its big lead asVon Miller returned a fumble60 yards, and two more fum-bles led to Moreno’s TD andMatt Prater’s 27-yard fieldgoal. Manning connected withJacob Tamme for a 10-yardTD in the second quarter.

Then the Patriots cameback. Their TDs came onpasses of 5 and 14 yards to Ju-lian Edelman, 6 to RobGronkowski, and BrandonBoldin’s 1-yard run.

“We calmed down andplayed each play one play at atime, we didn’t turn the ballover in the second half,” Edel-man said. “We had a lot ofturnovers (early), includingputting the ball on theground, myself included.

“We have done this a fewtimes, played the situations,had guys step up.”

___Chargers 41, Chiefs 38At Kansas City, Philip

Rivers threw for 392 yardsand three touchdowns, thewinner a 26-yarder to SeyiAjirotutu with 24 seconds re-maining to end a three-gameslide. Kansas City (9-2) wonits first nine games, but haslost two in a row. It remainedtied with Denver atop theAFC West.

The Chiefs had taken thelead when Alex Smith hitDwayne Bowe for a go-ahead

score with 1:22 left. But theChargers (5-6) still had twotimeouts, and they used bothas they quickly moved down-field. Ajirotutu’s TD in tightcoverage was just his thirdcatch of the season.

It also represented theeighth and final lead changein the game.

“It’s one of those you’ll nev-er forget, that’s for sure,” saidRivers, who toyed with a de-fense that had been amongthe NFL’s best, but was miss-ing injured pass rushers Tam-ba Hali and Justin Houstonfor much of the game.

“It’s kind of what our sea-son’s been about. Can youdrive and score at the end?”

San Diego could.Jamaal Charles added 115

yards rushing and two touch-downs for the Chiefs, who hadtheir highest best point totalof the season.

___Packers 26, Vikings 26At Green Bay, backup quar-

terback Matt Flynn threw for218 yards to help the Packersstorm back from a 16-pointdeficit, but Minnesota (2-8-1)and Green Bay (5-5-1) couldonly muster field goals inovertime.

Mason Crosby hit from 20yards at 10:28 of the extra pe-riod and Blair Walsh connect-ed from 35 with 3:54 left.

One last chance for theVikings went nowhere with 1second left, and the teamswalked off with the first tie inthe NFL since the Rams and49ers ended 24-24 on Nov. 11,2012. It was the first gameunder the tiebreaking rulesinstituted in 2012 that endedin a tie after both teamskicked field goals to begin theextra period. It was the sec-ond time a game had eachteam make field goals to openovertime; Houston won theother last November overJacksonville.

“It’s an empty feeling. Yougo out there and didn’t losethe game,” Packers coachMike McCarthy said. “But youfeel like you didn’t accomplishwhat you set out to do.”

___Buccaneers 24, Lions 21At Detroit, Matthew

Stafford’s fourth interceptionwent in and out of CalvinJohnson’s hands to rookieJohnthan Banks inside theTampa Bay 5 in the finalminute, allowing the Bucca-neers to hold on. Tampa Bay(3-8) has won three straightafter losing its first eight, join-ing the 1978 St. Louis Cardi-nals as the only team to dothat.

Tampa Bay rookie MikeGlennon was 14 of 21 for 247yards and threw two touch-downs to Tiquan Underwood,whose second score was an 85-yarder early in the fourthquarter.

The Lions (6-5) have losttwo straight for the first timethis season. They can blamefive turnovers for throwingaway a chance to improvetheir playoff position becauseno one in the NFC North wonSunday. They are tied withChicago atop the division.

Johnson had seven recep-tions for 115 yards, but he andthe Lions didn’t take advan-tage of the Bucs playing the

NEW ORLEANS (AP) —November is the last monthof the meteorological au-tumn, and most years inSouth Louisiana, November’scompletely content with that.

It’s the month the leavesfall from our trees, residentsopen their windows to let thefresh air in and sometimeswe actually have to put onsweaters to go outside.

But this November is amalcontent. She’s manic de-pressive. She’s a freezer andan oven. One day, she’s Janu-ary; the next, she’s August.

Record highs and recordlows — she wants them both.

This crazy-weather monthhas forced a transition in thefishing patterns around Du-large. But don’t worry: Thisisn’t like the late-Augusttransition when the speckled

trout are sucked into an alienspaceship for about fourweeks.

This is a happy transition.Capt. Travis Miller, who

fishes the marshes aroundDularge almost every day,has had the easiest job onplanet Earth lately, catchinglimits of speckled trout be-fore many people have evenleft for work. It’s been thateasy.

But Miller hasn’t beenfishing the areas he’d nor-mally work this time of year.In a typical November, SisterLake and Lake Mechant arethe no-fail hotspots. The fishget in the lakes, and all theyhave to do is open theirmouths to load up on the fatwhite shrimp that are bid-ding adieu to the marshes.

The spurts of frigid weath-

er, however, have pushed theshrimp out into the Gulf, andmany of the specks have tak-en the hint: Winter’s coming,and they’d better be on theirway.

“There are fish still in thelakes, but I’ve moved in be-cause it’s been so windy,”Miller said. “I’ve been findinga lot of fish in between thelakes and the winter holes.You get into the bayous, cutsand canals leading towardthe winter holes, and the fishhave been stacked up.”

That “in between” area isthe marsh to the northeast ofSister Lake, Mud Lake andLake Mechant, and the fish-ing there has been off thecharts. Miller and his clientsalmost every day are reach-ing their limits well beforenoon.

Then they head off to catchreds and bass in the ponds toadd a little color to the box.

The pattern has been kindof absurd — or at least un-conventional. Miller has beenthrowing shrimp creole Ma-trix Shads under corks in wa-ter as deep as 12 feet. That’skind of crazy in and of itself,but how he’s presenting themis even more unusual.

“You normally throw up-current and let it drift down,”Miller said. “We’ve beenstarting about even (with theboat) and letting it driftdowncurrent. We’ve been get-ting most of our bites oncethe bait gets behind the boat.A lot of times, you’re poppingthat cork back upcurrent.That’s been the pattern thepast two weeks.”

And these aren’t your typi-cal cork fish. They’re the big,chunky trout that would nor-mally be smacking doublerigs in the lakes this time ofyear.

“Two weeks ago, we had a4.12-pounder and about five3-pounders, and we’ve beenaveraging a couple of 3severy day,” Miller said. “Onaverage, they’ve been about16, 17 inches with a couple of22s.”

Part of the reason for theproductivity has been waterclarity, Miller said.

“The water we’ve been fish-ing, it looks like drinking wa-ter, it’s so clean,” he said.“With the wind, it kind ofdirtied a little bit, but not asmuch as you would havethought, and after the windsettled down, I came back inthe same area, and it wascrystal-clear again.”

Now, that doesn’t meanNovember’s dalliances withJack Frost haven’t chilled thebite on certain days. Whenlast week’s Arctic blastroared through, the troutwere tougher to find in theDularge marshes thansalmon.

But another fish was thereto take up the slack.

“After that big front, ourwater said, ‘See you later,’”Miller said, “and in someplaces, the water tempera-ture dropped to 49 degrees. Iwas shocked. The water waslow and cold.

“The trout wouldn’t bite,but the redfish were ab-solutely stacked. We’d justfind little cuts and put thePower-Pole down, and we’dcatch our limits of reds in notime.

“Then the next day, thatwater jumped to 58 andstarted coming back in, andthe specks got hungry. Wewere done by 9 o’clock.”

A similar pattern is setting

up for this weekend with ahard front forecast to pushthrough on Saturday andchilly temperatures behind iton Sunday.

Redfish will likely be theonly option for Sunday, withthe specks, hopefully, turningon again Monday.

On the milder days, Millerhas been moving into theponds after boating his troutlimits to target bass and red-fish. The bass bite in particu-lar has been outstanding.

“There’s still a lot of grass,but it’s not as thick, so we’rehitting those weed lines,” hesaid. “It’s crazy how manybass are biting right now andhow far south they are.

“A lot of times when I gobass fishing, I’ve got to get upin the Lake DeCade area, butI’ve been fishing the northside of (Lake) Mechant, inthe marsh system up there,for my bass and redfish. It’sbeen panning out reallywell.”

Miller isn’t taking any fan-cy bass tackle to the area. Allhe’s doing is tossing tight-lined green-hornet MatrixShads to the edges of thegrass and reeling them inwith a straight retrieve.

“I’ve been keeping it sim-ple because we’re catchingbass and reds in the same ar-eas — and actually hitting afew trout in the same areastoo,” he said.

There are no shrimp left inthe marsh, so all of the fish— both in the shallow pondsand the deeper bayous andcanals — are feasting onabundant baitfish stocks, ac-cording to Miller.

“The redfish I’ve beencleaning are the fattest red-fish you’ve ever seen. It’s likethey’re grizzly bears feedingfor the winter,” he said.“They’ve got mullet, pogies,crabs — everything in theirstomachs. They’re eatingwell, that’s for sure.”

If the fishing’s going tostay this good, November canremain petulant and tem-peramental. Dularge anglersdon’t mind one bit.

Pelicans rally to beatCavaliers 104-100

Davis, NEW ORLEANS(AP) — Jrue Holiday saw alate 12-point deficit as an op-portunity to deliver a charac-ter-building message.

Fans had started filing outof the New Orleans Arena,the Pelicans were gatheredat their bench for a timeoutwith 4:44 left, and Holidaytold his young teammates:“It’s time to grow.”

New Orleans thenoutscored Cleveland 23-7 therest of the way en route to104-100 victory Friday night.

“There’s going to be plentyof times, plenty of gameswhere we’re going to be downlike that, but it was time forus to grow, grow together,”said Holiday, who had 15points and 11 assists. “Every-body kind of responded tothat and picked up their de-fense. Everybody took theirdefensive assignments toheart.”

Anthony Davis had 17points, 13 rebounds andthree blocks for New Or-leans. Eric Gordon scored 19,including a 3-pointer fromthe corner with 31 secondsleft to give New Orleans thelead for good.

Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving,who had 22 points, drove fora potential tying layup with

23 seconds left, but lost theball as he collided withDavis. As the Pelicans’Tyreke Evans corralled theloose ball, Irving took off hisprotective face mask in dis-gust, certain he was fouled.

After the game, however,Irving refused to blame theloss on that play.

“We had a chance in thefourth quarter. We gave our-selves a chance,” he said.“There’s a couple thingswe’ve got to get better at.”

Evans and Holiday com-bined to make four freethrows in the final 20 sec-onds to secure New Orleans’third straight win.

Cleveland coach MikeBrown hoped his young teamwould learn from its collapse.

“It’s a tough loss, especial-ly when you feel like you hadcontrol most of the game,”Brown said. “But it’s a grow-ing, learning experience for ayoung group.”

The Cavs led 93-81 with4:44 to go after Earl Clark’sthird 3-pointer of the secondhalf capped what appearedto be a decisive 9-2 run.

New Orleans managed topull out the win despite be-ing badly outshot, 53.2 per-cent (41 of 77) to 40.9 percent(36 of 88).

The many faces of Howdy DoodyQ: Was the original Howdy

Doody puppet replaced by a differ-ent one? — R.T.L., Saint Cloud,Minn.

A: He was. Puppeteer FrankParis created the first Howdy Doodyin 1947, but he walked off the show— with the doll — in 1948, after adispute over royalties. That puppetversion is now known as “UglyDoody.” NBC, in a frantic search fora replacement, hired puppeteerVelma Dawson to create the morefamous version of Howdy Doody injust over a week. Dawson received$300 for her puppet and no residu-als. There have been a few duplicateHowdy Doody puppets: One wascalled “Double Doody” and the other“Photo Doody,” a puppet withoutstrings that was used for photo-graphs.

A: Banana experts say the fruithas been around for more than amillion years and originated in thejungles of Southeast Asia. It wasn’tuntil the 1876 Philadelphia Centen-nial Exhibition that the banana wasintroduced to the Americas. At theexhibition the fruit was wrapped infoil and sold for 10 cents each. Thatdoesn’t sound like a lot of money

now, but it would be equivalent tonearly $2 per banana today.Although there are many types ofbananas in the world (about 300),Dole Food Company tells me themost popular in this country is thecavendish variety.

A: The Cathedral of Commerce,located at 233 Broadway in NewYork City, is better known as theWoolworth Building. Frank W.Woolworth originally intended thebuilding to be home for a bank andoffices for his company; however, asthe project went on, so did the size.It became a 60-story, 792-foot neo-gothic high-rise that was, at onepoint, the tallest building in theworld. It opened in 1913. The landon which the skyscraper was builtcost half of the $13.5 million he paid— in cash — for the entire project.

The opening ceremony was heldon April 24, 1913, when PresidentWoodrow Wilson threw a switch inthe White House, and 80,000 lightbulbs came to life, illuminating thebuilding; there was a banquet onthe 27th floor attended by 900guests.

The name “Cathedral of Com-merce” first appeared in The NewYork Times on April 27, 1913, whenan English visitor was quoted abouthis impression of the new building.

The Woolworth Building was soldin 1998 for $155 million.

Bad shoes are usual sus-pects causing corns and cal-luses

DEAR DOCTOR K: I havea patch of hard skin on myfoot. Is it a corn or a callus?How should I treat it?

DEAR READER: I can’tanswer your question withoutseeing it. But I can tell youwhat to look for, and when itrequires a visit to your doctor.

Corns and calluses areareas of hardened skin. Theydevelop to protect the footfrom the damage that can becaused by friction from poorlyfitting shoes. Over time, if theirritation continues, a corn orcallus may grow and causediscomfort and pain thatinterferes with walking.

One big difference betweena corn and a callus is location.Calluses usually form on the

bottom of the feet. Corns formon top, usually around thetoes. Calluses generally con-sist of a broad area of thick-ened skin. Corns are smallerand may have a dense knot ofskin in the center. (I’ve put anillustration of corns and cal-luses on my website, AskDoc-torK.com.)

In many cases, better-fit-ting shoes will reduce the irri-tation that caused the prob-lem. And most pharmaciessell products that help cush-ion corns and calluses. Thusprotected, the corns or callus-es will shrink on their own,over weeks or months.

If you can’t wait that long,you can treat the problemmore aggressively. Try apumice stone to gently removethe top layers of skin. Firstsoak your feet in warm water

to soften the skin. Dry yourfeet, then rub the pumicestone gently over the corn orcallus. Afterward, moisturizethe area.

Pharmacies sell variouschemical peels and acid disksfor corns and calluses. Butuse such products with cau-tion. Most of them containsalicylic acid, which can dam-age healthy skin.

For larger corns and callus-es, a foot-care specialist mayhave to shave away some ofthe thickened skin. In someinstances, you may need sur-gery to correct an underlyingproblem if the irritation iscaused by a problem withyour foot’s bone structure.Perhaps the most commonexample is a bunion, aswelling at the base of the bigtoe.

To prevent recurrent callus-es and corns, wear shoes thatfit comfortably, provide cush-ioning in the sole and leaveenough room at the toes.

If you have diabetes,peripheral neuropathy orsome other circulatory prob-lem, don’t treat the corn orcallus yourself. See a foot-carespecialist.

I remember a 70-year-oldpatient who had heart failure,kidney failure and chroniclung disease. Strong medi-cines were just barely keepingthese problems in check. Isaw her every three to fourmonths, and at each visit, Iasked her lots of questionsand performed a physicalexamination — trying toassure both her and myselfthat the treatment was work-ing.

She always seemed unin-terested in the state of herheart, kidneys and lungs. Allshe wanted to talk about wereher feet — her corns and cal-luses. When I interrupted herto ask more questions abouther various life-threateningconditions, she admonishedme: “Doctor, we all have to dieof something. But we don’thave to have sore feet.”

NEW YORK (AP)— Oil prices couldbe headed lowerafter the prelimi-nary nuclear dealbetween Iran andsix world powers,even though it doesnot loosen sanc-tions on Iran’s oilexports.

In the shortterm, the deal maymake it easier forIran to sell the oilit is alreadyallowed to sellunder the sanc-tions, which wouldincrease supplieson the world mar-ket. And the new-found cooperationbetween Iran andthe West eases ten-sions that pushedoil prices higher inrecent years.

But the deal,described by bothsides as only a firststep, raises thepossibility that amore comprehen-sive agreementwould eventuallyallow Iran torestore oil produc-tion to pre-sanc-tions levels. Thatcould add 1 millionbarrels per day ofoil to world mar-kets — enough tomeet the entireglobal growth indemand for 2014projected by theInternational Ener-gy Agency.

“The initial reac-tion is going to bea more stable oilmarket,” saysAnthony Cordes-man, a Middle Eastand energy expertat the Center forStrategic andInternational Stud-ies in Washington.“But everythingwill depend on ifthere’s a f inalagreement and howit is implemented.”

Iran reached anagreement Sundaywith the U.S. andfive other worldpowers to freeze itsnuclear programfor six monthswhile the two sideswork on a morepermanent dealcovering Iran’sdevelopment ofnuclear technology.In exchange, somesanctions againstIran will berelieved, and itwill get access tosome frozen over-seas assets, includ-ing $4.2 bil l ion inoil revenue.

Kevin Book, ananalyst atClearView EnergyPartners in Wash-ington, predicts theprice of BrentCrude, an interna-tional benchmarkused to price oilused by many U.S.refineries, couldfall to $90 a barrelby the end of nextyear if talks yield afinal agreement.That’s 17 percentbelow Brent’s levelearly Monday whenit fell $2, or 1.8percent, to $109.05a barrel.

Analysts caution,though, that iftalks on a finaldeal fall apart —or even appear tobe faltering — oilcould instead rock-et higher. Iran andthe West have beenseemingly close toan agreement onnuclear issues inthe past, only toabandon talks anddescend deeperinto acrimony.

“Even the slight-est hint of anunraveling of the

Geneva accordcould restore avibrant risk premi-um to crude,” Booksays.

But oil pricesappear to be head-ed lower for now, inpart because theprospect of moreIranian oil is com-ing at a time whenproduction is risingin the U.S., Cana-da, and elsewhere,helping global sup-ply growth outpacethe growth indemand. The aver-age price of Brentcrude so far thisyear is 3 percentbelow last year ’saverage, and it’s ontrack for its lowestaverage price since2010.

Lower prices ofBrent crude havehelped reducedU.S. retail gasolineprices this year,which are also ontrack for their low-est annual averagesince 2010. A fur-ther reduction inoil prices couldbring additionalrelief to drivers.

“The perception,whether accurateor not, that nextyear ’s surpluscould be supple-mented by addi-tional Iranian bar-rels will be bearishfor prices,” saysJudith Dwarkin,director of energyresearch at ITGI n v e s t m e n tResearch.

Iran produces 2.7million barrels ofoil per day, 3 per-cent of worlddemand that aver-ages 91 millionbarrels per day.

Iran was once theworld’s thirdlargest oilexporter, but since2012, when West-ern nationsexpanded economicsanctions againstthe country toinclude oil , itsexports havedropped 60 percentto less than 1 mil-l ion barrels perday. Limitedexports wereallowed to continueto some countries,especially in Asia,that rely on Iran-ian crude.

This weekend’spreliminary dealdoes not changethose sanctions,which the WhiteHouse says costIran up to $5 bil-l ion per month.The deal, theWhite House says,allows “purchasesof Iranian oil toremain at their

currently signifi-cantly reduced lev-els.”

But the Genevadeal may make iteasier for Iran tosell the oil allowedunder the sanc-tions. ClearView’sBook estimatesthat Iran couldincrease sales byabout 285,000 bar-rels per day overthe next monthbefore reaching the1 million barrel perday limit allowedby the sanctions.

While modest,that could helplower global pricesby making up for asharp drop inLibyan crudeexports in recentmonths caused bycivil unrest.

The simple factthat the two sidesreached any agree-ment at all willalso help reduceprices. Oil has

been more expen-sive in recent yearsin part becausetraders worriedthat the height-ened tensionsbetween Iran andthe West wouldlead to a suddeninterruption of oilsupplies. Iran inthe past hasthreated to blockor attack oil ship-ments through theStrait of Hormuz, anarrow passage inthe Persian Gulfthrough which one-fifth of the world’soil passes.

Also, tradersworried that theWest would furthertighten limits onIran’s oil exports.While those l imitswon’t be looseningsoon, the threat ofeven less Iranianoil on the worldmarket has all butevaporated — fornow.

already were talking aboutsanctions designed to cautionIran that failure to use thesix-month window to reach adeal would only leave Irani-ans in worse economicstraits.

“Congress, I think, willwant to make it clear that ifIran does not live up to thesecommitments, we will not on-ly insist that the sanctions be

reapplied, but we will havestronger sanctions againstIran,” said Sen. Ben Cardin,D-Md.

Added Sen. Marco Rubio,R-Fla.: “There is now an evenmore urgent need for Con-gress to increase sanctionsuntil Iran completely aban-dons its enrichment and re-processing capabilities.”

In the House, the No. 2 De-mocrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of

Maryland, said the threat ofeven tougher sanctions couldhelp keep Iranian diplomatsat the negotiating table fortalks designed to preventTehran from being able toproduce a nuclear weapon.Hoyer said he supports hav-ing the sanctions ready to goin case Iran proves an unreli-able negotiating partner.

“It is appropriate that wewait six months to imple-

ment those, which will say tothe Iranians: ‘We need a finaldeal, and if not a final deal,these tougher sanctions aregoing to go into place,’” Hoyersaid.

Washington has been lay-ering sanctions against Iransince 1987, crippling its econ-omy and putting pressure onthe nation’s middle class.Many of those economicpenalties are set to remain inplace during the six-monthnegotiating window an-nounced Sunday.

But lawmakers seemed toexpect talks to collapse, forc-ing them to restore old sanc-tions and levy new ones.

“If Iran does not consent toa comprehensive agreementthat ensures it cannot ac-quire a nuclear weapon,there is a broad consensus inCongress to impose eventougher sanctions,” said Sen.Carl Levin, a Michigan De-mocrat who is chairman ofthe Senate Armed ServicesCommittee.

A deep distrust of Iran per-vaded Sunday’s discussion ofthe deal.

“We need to be very, verycareful with the Iranians,”said Rep. Eliot Engel of NewYork, the top Democrat onthe House Foreign AffairsCommittee. “I don’t trustthem, I don’t think we shouldtrust them. .... Sanctionsshould always be hangingthere because that’s whatbrought Iran to the table inthe first place.”

Rep. Ed Royce, the Califor-nia Republican who chairsthe House Foreign AffairsCommittee, said Iranians“are capable of cheating.”

Republican House SpeakerJohn Boehner, too, said the

six-month pause deserveshealthy skepticism.

“Iran has a history of ob-fuscation that demands veri-fication of its activities andplaces the burden on theregime to prove it is uphold-ing its obligations in goodfaith while a final deal ispursued,” he said.

Rep. Mike Rogers, theMichigan Republican whochairs the House intelligencepanel, was more critical of adeal he said aids “the leadingnation-state of terror.”

“We have just rewardedvery bad and dangerous be-havior,” he said.

During interviews on Sun-day, some lawmakers com-pared the current deal withthe 1990s pact that gaveNorth Korea a respite fromsanctions if they promised tostop work on their nuclearprogram.

“We’ve seen what’s hap-pened in North Korea; theynow have nuclear weapons.And I don’t want to see thathappen in Iran,” said Sen.Bob Corker, R-Tenn.

Added Sen. Saxby Chamb-liss, R-Ga.: “We’ve trustedthe Iranians before, just likethe North Koreans, on nu-clear issues, and what havewe gotten for it?”
