Planning needed now A round of applause for the news that Bryan - College Station may be linked to rapid rail transportation system!

Bryan - College Station is not a major transportation node in any sense; the university may not suffer but high - technology parks Yet, such "parks" are not the attracting force for bullet trains, rather the total number of customers. Enthusiasm is dampened by missing facts; a false start may set us back years. Now is the time to plan for an advanced public transpor- tation system; automobile technology has bottom- ed out; new ideas and actions are needed. The three major forces, Bryan, College Station and the _ University, should get their act together if they ex- pect the applause to continue. Let us greet the an- nounced plan with enthusiasm and with caution.

One of the major pur- F. poses is to promote energy conservation. F. The free show will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at o the College Station Community Center. MI Among the presentations will be a solar water og heating workshop for those interested in decreasing • water heating bills by using sun power. It will in- elude a discussion of how such a system can be con - 4 structed. o COPO, the robot recently acquired by the Col- o Station Police Department, will be on hand to o greet youngsters and give out energy conservation advice. O Some 10 films also will be shown, including an a animated movie for grade schoolers called "Where 1 1 1 a the Little Light Bulb Gets Its Juice." V Among the participants will be the Texas Energy Extension Service, Lone Star Gas, Gulf States i Utilities, and the Peaceable Kingdom School. Local w businesses also will provide booths, and the show will emphasize alternate energy sources. kw- The ak y i /roo -. 2. , 933 Community needs sprucing up Neglected old cars are a pitiful lot.

As of last Friday, four weeks into the fund m drive, $127,773 had been pledged toward the o agency's $420,000 goal this year. While that is not quite one -third of the United Way goal, there still are many pledge cards out and several contacts yet to be made. On paper, meeting the goal shouldn't be m much of a challenge for this community. Ac- cording to statistics gathered by University of O Texas researchers, 45,300 Brazos County residents currently hold jobs. If only half that Q number donated just $20 next year — less than $2 per month — the campaign would easily exceed its goal. o Of course, a great many people are giving far more than $2 per month, not because they — must but because they recognize the worth to the viability of 17 im- the community of the 17 human service agen- real sense, ends the cies partially funded with their United Way ve focal f agencies dep ° wor th contributions. generosity o rtan t o each of us; something volunteer The employees of UnitedBank of College pconsidering when your United Way Station, for example, have increased their calls. contributions by 86 percent over what they pledged last year, and the bank itself increas- ed its contribution by 25 percent. On the average, UnitedBank employees are donating about $50 each to the current drive. The 12 employees at Chapparel Minerals have pledg- ed a total of $6,910 to the drive, and the com- pany has pledged another $10,000 — a remarkable achievement by any standards. It is generosity such as this which helps to make possible services and facilities such as the Rehabilitation Center, the Senior Citizens Association Center and the Brazos Valley Museum. But if the United Way works to the benefit of such agencies and their clients, it also works to the benefit of all in another way — by combining the fund - raising efforts of these 17 groups, it is possible to minimize the need for 17 separate fund - raising efforts.

Bids on the project are to be opened Nov. 1. Eagle Friday, October 28, 1983 Report ignored Here it is a week has passed since the College Station City Council received the report of the Capital Improvements Committee of citizens and not a word has appeared in the news about it. No story has yet reported that the committee's report has been submitted, much less any details of that report. Just how are citizens supposed to keep abreast of developments? Doesn't the Eagle think what goes on in College Station is important enough to report? Or is it that the annexation business kept you, too busy trying to promote the growth of the area — growth that may be in- evitable, but something we aren't that anxious to speed up either. Perhaps, if the committee's report had been a presented in the paper, citizens might have had a chance to comment on it before another bond pro- posal is finalized. Hopefully, the next bond vote L.. will allow citizens to approve the things we want and need without them being paired with things we don't want. So far you aren't giving us much help.

I think we have here a question of two opposing theories of government. One is the User Fee Theory: the person using a service pays for it. The other is the Public Good Theory: the community as a whole pays for a service that a person uses, because it is seen as forwarding a Public Good, a public deal. For example, when a home is burglarized, and the police arrive, they do not say, "Well, ma'am, that will be a $10 fee for us to fill out this report." Similarly, we do not drop a dime in a box every time we stop at a red light. Why not? Because police protection and traffic control are seen as basic Public Goods which are paid for by the com- munity as a whole. I think our idea of our community includes not only police protection and traffic control but also an idea that "College Station is a good place to raise kids." If we see it as a Public Good to have healthy, active kids, then we should see it as public policy to provide parks for the use of our kids, and not charge them a user fee. There is a further point to be made. The present user fee proposal is in violation of the spirit which brought about the fine system of public parks which we now have in College Station. I was a • member of the College Station Parks and Recrea- tion Committee in the mid 1970's before College Station had the playing fields it has now. It was the vision and hard work of Parks and Recreation members, the Parks Department personnel, the ci- ty planners, the city council, the city administra- tion, the parents and citizens that brought this park system into being. It seems absurd 'to give it to the kids with one hand and take it away with the other.

This eyesore is all that remains of a Multiple Listing Service signboard, erected a number of years ago. Approximately two years have passed since Beautify Brazos County Association, now Brazos Beautiful, and I began our efforts to have it removed. At one point, BBCA officers draped the eyesore in black and extracted a promise to take it down from then president of the Board of Realtors, Gus Lampe. Lampe said last week that he had been unable to carry through after he was denied access to the sign by the owner of the lot on which it stands. So, the ugly relic remains and is likely to do so for the foreseeable future. ftir The- Go9te 71\tio Nov�e,rvt.bec (4 j1923 ... Extend Appomattox ..,, , ,. ...

Friday, November 18, 198 E 1,l r Drivers can help ,; As a fire truck driver for the College Station • • I Fire Department, and one of the many emergency apparatus drivers in the area, I feel that it's time ' that someone spoke out to the citizens of Bryan- ; College Station. To begin with, I would like to ' ask, or plead if you prefer, that you as a motorist allow us to get onto major thoroughfares (i.e. , Texas Avenue) from our stations easily. It may come as a great shock to you, but one of the hardest parts of responding to an emergency is getting onto the road from our stations. In order to accomplish this we must constantly be on the watch for the motorist who either won't stop, _ doesn't see us, or thinks that they can race past us. I don't think that I need to remind you that by do- ing this you're not only endangering your own lives, but those of the men on the responding ap- paratus, and you're also slowing down our response time to someone who is really in trouble and needs our assistance. In addition, we don't always run Code 3 (lights and siren), but when we do it's generally a true emergency. When we do run Code 3, we are not demanding that you move over or stop, we are merely asking that you show the courtesy to us and others by allowing us to pass. Our firefighters driving record has been a good one, and we've had very few accidents while responding to an emergency; however, we must have the help of you, the motorist, in order to continue this record. In conclusion, I would like to give you a few hints that might help the situation. (1) The fire trucks and ambulances will nearly always drive in the left hand lane when on an emergency run, ex- cept when making a turn or dodging traffic. (2) Watch out for more than one emergency vehicle — sometimes we will run as many as four or more t at one time. (3) Don't turn right on a red when you see an emergency vehicle coming from the other way. (4) Don't play your radios so loud that you can't hear a siren. Finally, and probably most im- portant — when you near a known fire station, take a little time to check and see whether a truck or ambulance is beginning an emergency run. Please remember that we're all in this together and the time that we spend trying to get on the road or through traffic may make the difference f a family member that's having a heart attack, oT a family home that's o n fi s , \ John W.

Sandstedt "' College Station THE EAGLE /TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1983 Tuesday, November 22, 1983 Letters Our thanks As Thanksgiving approaches, the staff and volunteers of the Brazos County Chapter of the American Red Cross are thankful for many recent acts of generosity. During October and November, four families (sixteen people) have needed assistance after fires destroyed all or part of their homes and belong- ings. The Red Cross provided temporary lodgings and other assistance. Since our funds were limited, we made appeals to local churches and to the public through the news media for clothing, groceries, household goods and furniture. The response was overwhelming, and the families are on their way to living normal lives again. Their heartfelt thanks go to Church of the Nazarene, Se- cond Baptist Church (College Station), Aldersgate Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, A &M Church of Christ, A &M Methodist, St. An- drews Episcopal, Seventh Day Adventists, Grace Bible Church, First Methodist Church, Twin City Mission and the many individuals who responded. If you offered furniture or other large items, but were inadvertently overlooked when the items • were picked up, please call the office at 822 -2157 if you still wish to donate. For the first time in several months the Blood Drive in November totaled over 260 pints, nearly equaling the amount of blood used each month in Brazos County. The Eagle news staff and other members of the local news media gave maximum coverage to the shortage and to the good example set by the Bryan Police Department; that help made all the difference. Since these donors will not be eligible for the December blood drive, we hope that many more people will come to Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, College Station, on December 5 and 6 to "Give the gift of life." Our third "Thank you" goes to Bossier Chrysler -Dodge for donating the first two infant seats to the new "Operation K.I.S.S." (Keep In- fants Seated Safely). We hope to have enough car seats by the beginning of 1984 to loan the seats to low- income families who would otherwise be unable to protect their children. Ardan's has also given discount coupons on car seats which have been included in packets given to new parents at St. Joseph's Hospital. Our thanks also to the Bryan and College Station police departments for i rd ?r trwr.ron tieA -- ^net ... 1N YL " Ol 03 1N LE Mt llleuy o 3d 99 Z /O'LI.

The tree, a 40 -foot eastern red cedar, was provid- ed by the forest service for the second straight year. Logan estimates its age at 50 years. The community tree came from the Bastrop County ranch of Leonard Dube of Alvin, an old Aggie. The city of College Station has been recognized for erecting the tree at the corner of University Drive and Texas Avenue. But Logan says that the city of LaGrange also deserves thanks for loaning its equipment to load the tree onto the truck that brought it to town. The Bryan - College Station tree is sponsored by the Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Center. 11 Villa Maria L Manor East Shopping Center N.

DPS Director Jim Adams said 0 he hoped the campaign would help continue a two -year trend 8 in Texas toward significant de- 0 creases in traffic fatalities. a Adams has said at least 50 per- cent of traffic deaths involve drunk drivers. Adams said Texas so far this year had experienced 400 fewer traffic deaths than during the same period last year. In 1982, more than 430 fewer people died on Texas roadways than in 1981. He credited beefed -up en- forcement of DWI laws and greater public awareness of drunk driving hazards for the decline in traffic deaths. "I can think of no greater tri- bute to legislative efforts and public awareness efforts," he said. As part of the Holidays Ahead campaign, MADD also will sponsor programs to pro- vide free rides home to drinkers unable to drive and will distri- bute "I'm a driver" buttons to people who agree to stay sober during the holidays.

A local group has been formed to help keep the glad tidings of Christmas from becoming a nightmare. Known as "Brazos County Holidays Ahead," the group is working to en- courage responsible drinking and to provide alternatives to driving home intoxicated from the season's many parties. The group's chair- man, Wayne Wylie, stresses that Brazos County Holidays Ahead is not anti - alcohol — the goal is to encourage responsible behavior, not abstinence. A part of the group's efforts will be educa- tional — they will provide speakers with knowledge of alcohol and its effects to service clubs, civic groups and other organizations. But they will also be providing "free ride" services on New Year's Eve, for those who drink too much to safely drive themselves home. The local effort is part of a statewide cam - paign to make Christmas, 1983, a safer season for all. That's a goal in the best in- terests of everyone, and an effort which deserves the support and appreciation of the entire community. sagle Thursday, December 8, 1983 The EAGLE, Thursday, December 8, 1983 • Robot named FREDDIE Joe Peddicord, 11, of 1201 Munson Ave. in College Station, was named the winner in a "Name the Robot" contest sponsored by the College Station Polite Department.

LaQuinta completes addition LaQuinta Motor Inns Inc. recently completed work on a 62 -room addition to its College Station motor inn.

It is managed by Charles and Verlene Shaddox, who have managed the inn since it opened in January 1980. The general contractor on the project was Jor- don and Woods General Contractor of College Station. Compiled by Steven H. Lee Those ramps need moving g Uncle Sam has pulled the plug on five sets of new traffic lights along the East Bypass, even before installation on the new signals has been completed. But cries of "unjustified federal interference" such a move invites miss one essential point — the federal government is right in this case. The Federal . Highway Administration is ' refusing to let the state activate the new traf- fic signals at five East Bypass crossovers because it says entrance and exit ramps at three of the five crossovers are too close to the intersections where the lights are being install- ed. If that sounds familiar, it's because that essentially is the same objection voiced by the City of College Station last spring, when the decision was made by state highway authorities to install the signals. Federal con- cerns center on peak traffic periods, when the signals could back traffic exiting the bypass up the ramps and into one lane of the bypass. Of course, that happens just about every weekday afternoon at some of the intersec- tions right now — but installation of the signals, theoretically at least, is supposed to aleviate that situation. If the same problem exists after the lights are operational as ex- isted before the lights were installed, what ex- actly would be the point of the signals at all? That the ramps at Texas 30, FM 158 and Texas 21 are too close to the crossover in- tersections is obvious even to those without traffic engineering degrees. These ramps clearly were not designed to handle the volume of traffic now taxing them during peak traffic hours. Moving the ramps back makes sense. What does not make as much sense is why activation of the signals at two intersections where the ramp problem does not exist is also being held up. The Federal Highway Ad- ministration has no objection to the ramp placements at Briarcrest and at FM 60, yet those signals are included in the order preven- ting activation. Those two intersections ought to be exempted from the order and the lights there activated when installation is complete — there is no reason to do otherwise. The signals alone were never an ideal solu- ``'r tion to the traffic problems growth has The Eagle, Tuesday, December 13, 1983 brought to the East Bypass; but the signals and the relocation of those entrance and exit ramps together may finally end some of the frustration at getting off the bypass during rush hour.

The logic of that assertion is a bit hard to follow. Has having the chamber's main office located in Bryan all these years somehow detracted from industry recruitment efforts? If not, then how can a move to College Sta- tion have such an effect? Indeed, how is the location of the chamber office relevant at all to industry recruitment? The real issue is not the geographic location of the chamber office, but whether or not the chamber works equally to benefit both Bryan and College Station. If it does not — and to date no one has made that allegation — then there is a problem. If, however, it does work equally to benefit both cities, then challenging the democratically- reached concensus of the ,,,,,,hut, ., membership is the problem. 1 /9 V Wave ool to get another look p By HUGH NATIONS two council members to support Board member John Cromp- Staff Writer the project. ton, while noting that Dallas College Station City Coun- Boughton said Councilman recently decided to substitute five cilman Pat Boughton has sug- Lynn Mcllhaney probably would wave pools for five 50 -meter M gested the city parks and recrea- support it now. pools, questioned the economic o tion board take another look at a "She indicates to me that she feasibility of a wave pool here. .,-; city- operated wave pool. would have voted for the wave Crompton said he feared such a -- Boughton's proposal came at pool if she knew then what she pool might draw business from the v the board's meeting Tuesday night knows now," Boughton told the city's conventional pools, which E — slightly more than a month board members. will increase to three with the in- v before the city will hold its second She also raised the possibility stallation of the new pool in p bond election within a year.

CD .. + ~ c + HUGH NATIONS City Hall Report Professor fig hts for support rt pp The middle class, Texas A &M professor John Crompton says, is getting a free ride, partially at the expense of the poor. Crompton is an associate professor in the A &M Department of Recreation and Parks and serves on the College Station Parks and Recreation Board. Earlier this year his was a lonely voice supporting fees for Little League and other youth sports that use city parks playing fields. Crompton was the on- ly member of the board who appeared before the City Council in support of user fees for youth sports. It was a proposal recommended to the council by the board, but when the crunch came, Crompton was left to carry the ball by himself, in the face of concerted opposition from numerous parents who appeared before the council to protest. The defeat has not changed his mind. "Public playing fields, tennis courts and things like that are used by a relatively small percentage of the population and those who use them should not expect to be subsidized by everybody else who doesn't use them," he declared. "Chances are cities which use the sales or proper- ty tax system to pay for the operational costs of public recreation facilities are charging poor people through the tax system for something that many of them don't use. "People who use playing field facilities are most- ly middle class. They should be the ones to pay." The parks themselves, Crompton said, as oppos- ed to playing fields, are in a different category because most people will use them at some time or other. "The inequities arise in the use of sports fields and similar specialized facilities," Crompton said. "As long as citizens continue to roll out the dollars to pay for the faciltities the users of these facilities will let them." Crompton, an Englishman, is the founder and former owner of Loughborough Recreation Plann- ing Consultants, a 25- member company he has described as the largest recreation and tourism con- sulting business in England. He sold the firm in 1974. • Th E ut u rs dcc,cj , 3e ce wi be c 2q x ^ � �n o '�7 xoy� r ° p Z co r o o cr rr • fi A o ^� � o. to �oQ A. 5 c t4 0 n . o g c Na.cnx ::. G 'rJ e' p 33 ff ' n' a- 3 D -.

College Station residents may have to wait a few days after the New Year rolls around to get rid of their Christmas trees, but Public Service Director Alfred Miller said they will be picked up. Miller said the city plans to pick up all Christmas trees the week of Jan. 9, and urged residents to have them out at curbside. He said regular garbage pickups are also scheduled. In Bryan, a city spokesman said Christmas trees will be picked up on the regular- ly scheduled garbage runs, and that pickups will continue as schedul- ed through the holiday.

The request for Use Permit is in the name of Area Progress Corporation, 2108 Southwood. College Station, Texas. The hearing will be held in the Council Room of the College Station City Hall, 1101 South Texas Avenue at the 7:00 P.M. meeting of the Planning and Zoning Com- mission on Thursday 19, 1984.

Mayo Director of Planning 01 -04-84 � WE-1) � � Igg E ms w� / Wednesday, January 4, 1984 LETTERS Opinions the key In the December 29 Eagle, Hugh Nations reported that Dr. John Crompton "was a lonely voice supporting fees for little league and other youth sports that use city parks playing fields." Nations also noted that while the proposal was the product of the College Station Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, Dr. Crompton was the only one to speak in favor of it at a recent council meeting. Before we all jump to the conclusion (assumption) that Dr. Crompton is the sole supporter of this premise, let us review what is really at stake in this controversy. I believe that it is safe to assume that (1) the pur- pose of the fee was to insure that the playing fields continue to be maintained in a safe condition (if not better), and (2) the youth athletic organiza- tions cannot readily move their operations out of the local parks. Given this, I would expect the staff of the College Station Parks & Recreation Department as well as the Advisory Board, to con- tinue the search for some way to fund the field maintenance that is required. Ultimately, the city council will have to face this user fee issue again. They will have to impose the fee or allocate the money needed for maintenance from some other source of revenue. Should the council maintain their current posi- tion by deciding against the implementation of a user fee, they will have tacitly chosen to distribute the cost of little league and soccer over the entire tax- paying population. In short, everyone will be supporting youth athletics. Whether this is accep- table or unacceptable cannot be appropriately determined by the vested interests. (We've already heard their views.) Those citizens not involved in youth athletics hold the key to an equitable and binding solution. Are the taxpayers who are not involved in and who do not receive a direct benefit from youth athletics willing to share the costs of the programs? In effect, no one is a "disinterested party" in this issue. If those who are not involved in youth athletics would make their opinions known then the city council will be in a better position to make a deci- sion that accurately reflects the attitude of the community. In addition, we will also know whether Dr. Crompton represents a minority or a "silent majority." Last, while the current controversy revolves around a user fee and the local youth athletic in- terests, I believe the more fundamental queston of using tax revenue to support limited or special in- terests is going to receive considerable attention in Bryan and College Station over the next few years. Much strife can be avoided if we also make our opinions known on this broader question. Frederick W. Robison (�. Bryan ______ Gulf States pact returns money Harte -Hanks Austin Bureau AUSTIN — Gulf States Utilities Co. customers would receive about a $11.3 million refund under a proposed agreement on how to split millions of dollars the company received through litigation. The utility and other interested parties reached 1 ; that tentative settlement on how to divide Texas customers' share of the funds Tuesday, during vf negotiations at the Public Utility Commission. > Commission general counsel Alan King said that residential customers of the utility as of Dec. 31, .., o 1983, probably would receive at least $10 per household, with that amount increasing according Ti cts to the customer's usage between 1979 and 1981. c College Station buys electricity from Gulf u States, but any refund will go to the city rather 3 than individual customers, officials have said. The city, however, could elect to pass the refund on to cu customers. a Gulf States Utilities Co. won $112 million last w year in damages from a gas supplier that reneged on its contract to supply cheap fuel to the utility. Since the company had to buy more expensive fuel, the ratepayers were charged more for the electrici- ty. Some $42 million in damages is estimated to be Texas customers' share. The utility serves some 250 000 customers in Louisiana and Texas. files Company suit against CS A Tyler construction company has filed suit against College Station claiming that the city did not follow through on a contract agreement to build a main water line into the southern part of the coun- ty. Elrey Ash, director of capital improvements, said the water line is going out to the city's new water tower site and that it should have been finished two months ago. The water eventually will serve residents in the Shanandoah subdivision and a number of people who live along Texas 6 in recently annexed areas, he said. Ash said the process for filing a claim against the contractor's insurance company for its surety bond already has begun. But construction is stopped now, he said. Huscon Inc. was given authorization on May 24 to begin construction of the water line along Texas 6 to Greens Prairie Road. It states in its suit that the city failed to provide promised construction easements and had still failed to do so as late as Oc- tober. Without the easements, Huscon "was unable to timely, efficiently and economically perform the construction required ... and was caused to incur extraordinary expenses from idle equipment, idle work crews, transporation of equipment, storage of materials (and) handling of materials," the suit states. College Station City Attorney Lowell Denton said he would not comment on the suit's charges.
