| Local Gas Station Charging Over $4 Per Gallon Near OIA
ORLANDO, Fla. -- There was a break for the holidays, but gas prices are ready to rise again. One local gas station, though, is already charging customers much more than others. RAW INTERVIEW: Manager Defends $4.49 Per Gallon Customers at the independent gas station near the Orlando International Airport are paying $4.49 a gallon. Some of the customers don't know the price they're paying until it's too late. There are no large signs showing the prices at the station. Most customers are tourists returning rental cars before catching flights at Orlando International Airport. Not all believe it's an honorable way to conduct business. "It's not fair. It's definitely price gouging during the holiday season," said tourist Les Lazarus. Even at $4.49 a gallon for regular, most of the pumps were busy at Suncoast Energys on Friday morning.

Storied Pagan-Lewis sold to Sames Crow
From one family to another; that's how the owners of Pagan-Lewis Motors Inc., one of Corpus Christi's oldest car dealerships, described the sale of their dealership to Sames Crow. "Our families were the car dealership owners of the '60s, '70s and '80s, and now as their children we are still in the business and share that common bond," said Sames-Crow co-owner Bob Crow on Wednesday. Pagan-Lewis, at 3737 S. Padre Island Drive, sells Lincoln-Mercury, Chrysler-Jeep and Subaru vehicles, and includes the local Budget Rental Car franchise. The dealership will remain open, although under the Sames Crow name, and its 50 employees also will transfer to Sames Crow. A sale price was not disclosed. Sames Crow is owned by Hank Sames of Laredo and Bob Crow of Corpus Christi. Hank Sames is the owner of Sames Auto Group, which sells Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, Mazda, and Honda in Laredo.

I enjoyed Danny O'Neil's article ("Hawks practice-squad players share house, car and common goal," Seattle Times, Dec. 26). I wish they had kept the term "taxi squad." The late Paul Brown named them that because they worked part time for the owner's taxi-cab business. We always root for the underdogs, so I hope they all make the team one day. — Bill Hemmenway, Issaquah Sonics There are other reasons for downfall Steve Kelley's column ("Allen has it all wrong — Sonics made right deal," Seattle Times, Dec. 28) about the Sonics trade of Ray Alen to the Celtics was right. But not for the reasons he cites. One playoff appearance in five years? That has a lot more to do with the previous ownership group shoving Nate McMillan out the door than with Ray Allen's abilities.
