Junction 505 trains able workers By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Many of the city of College Station's employees have special abilities. Two of the newest are sup- posed to have disabilities, but their bosses say the employees have proved themselves very able. Kimberly May and Gary Robertson come to the city through Junction 505. Junction 505 is a non- profit agency that trains people with disabilities so that they can lead normal lives. Robertson is the city's FLAME officer. The Fire Lane Access Maintenance Enforcement officer is charged with making sure the city's fire lanes re- main open for emergency vehicles, said Bland Ellen, the city's fire marshal. "Gary has had no problems," Ellen said. "Of course, he's had to take the normal amount of abuse." Part of Robertson's job is to write citations for people who block fire lanes with their vehicles. El- len said he expects Robertson to write about 1,500 tickets this year. With a $35 fine per ticket, Robert- son will more than pay for himself, Ellen said. Robertson has some physical difficulties, but El- ,; len said he knew that Robertson can do the job. "He's doing a valuable service for the citizens of College Station and our visitors," Ellen said. May works as a printer's aide in the city's print - mail division. Tomi Fry, print coordinator for the city, said that May is a good worker for the city. "We're very happy with her," Fry said. "She's catching on to everything." May has done almost everything in the print de- partment, Fry said, from running the copying machine to putting covers on reports. The only thing she doesn't do is run the printing press, but they may train May on that soon. May says she likes her job with the city, but want a job that will allow her to sit. "I'm on my feet more in the print shop," she said. "I'd like to be a secretary." May isn't limiting herself to the print shop. She's already done work in the city secretary's office and in the personnel department. Karen Pavlinski, College Station's personnel di- rector, said that the city is making a conscious effort to hire Junction 505's clients.

"We encour- aged city staff to find jobs where some of Junction 505ts clients would fit in." Funds were set aside so that city departments could have a new position, with the idea that the new employee would be from Junction 505, Pavlinski said. Pavlinski said the plan is to have five Junction 505 clients on the city's payroll in the 1993 -94 budget.

To deal with those pains, the College Station City Council and the College Station Planning and Zoning Commis- sion, have scheduled a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at College Sta- tion City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. The plan was created to deal with the expected growth of the "Golden Triangle," bordered by Texas Avenue, FM 2818 and the East Bypass. The ex- tension FM 2818, gom Texas to the East Bypass, is expected to stimulate growth in the area. The plan calls for a mixture of retail, office and residential zoning in the area. Wal -Mart, the Arkansas -based retail giant, has requested a rezoning for about 40 -acres near the intersection of FM 2818 and the East Bypass. The plan calls for office and apartment zoning in that location. Some people, mainly residents on Mile Drive and in the Emerald Forest subdivision, have expressed concerns about commercial development en- croaching on their neighborhoods.

Susan Cole Building Technician 03 -03 -93 �4 FM 2818 Land Use Plan discussion draws crowd By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer If members of the College Station City Council want to guarantee large crowds, it seems it should keep the FM 2818 Land Use Plan on the agenda. Council members and members of the College Station Planning and Zoning Commission met Wednesday in packed council chamber to discuss the plan ap- proved by the council in August 1992. The council is scheduled to vote on proposed rezoning and possible changes in the land -use plan March 25. The plan was developed by members of the planning and zoning commission, council members and residents of the FM 2818 area. Wal -Mart has requested a rezoning that will drastically change the land -use plan. The company wants to build a Wal -Mart IM with a full-sized grocery attached. The company wants to build the store near the corner of FM 2818 and the East Bypass, but needs commercial zoning for the 30 -acre complex. The land -use plan calls for office and apartment zoning in that area. City Planner Jane Kee said that the FM 2818 plan was drawn to meet four objec- tives: Maintaining an attractive entrance into the city, protecting existing resi- dential areas, maintaining areas of resi- dential development and avoiding strip commercial development along FM 2818. Councilman Hubbard Kennady asked if the objectives of the city had changed since August. Councilwoman Nancy Crouch said the objectives had changed and that there are economic considerations that need to be reviewed. Crouch said she recently learned that residential and apartment development ended up losing money for the city, while industrial and commercial development made money for the city. The city must consider how city services will be fun- ded, she said. The council also should consider the pressure more residential growth will put on the College Station school district, Crouch said. "If we choose a land -use plan that in- tensifies that pressure, is that good ?" she asked. Kyle Hawthorne of the planning and zoning commission, said the bottom line is: "What does the community want ?" "Does College Station want to attract business for the sake of attracting busi- ness?" he asked. "Does the city want un- fettered economic growth ?" The city would set a precedent if they changed the land -use plan to take advan- tage of an economic opportunity, Hawth- orne said, possibly leading to other changes to take advantage of other oppor tunities. "Everything I've seen in this commu- nity indicates that they like the plan like it is," he said.

College Station's Wal -Mart started a petition drive Sat- urday to let members of the College Station City Council know that many residents want a SuperCenter — a Wal - Mart with a grocery store attached — at FM 2818 and the East Bypass. People opposed to the rezoning — which would allow the company to build near houses — started their petition drive in February. Wal -Mart needs commercial zoning for the land, which is now zoned residential. The city's FM 2818 land -use plan calls for a mixture of office and apartment zoning. "We don't normally do this [petition drives]," said John Clark, Wal- Mart's real estate manager for Texas. "The store requested authorization to do it." The petition circulated by people opposed to the zoning site said that the FM 2818 plan was worked out by city offi- Please see PETITION, page A5 Friday, March 12, 1993 The Eagle THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION IS REQUESTING BIDS FOR THE FOLLOWING: ONE (1) INDUSTRIAL BACKHOE /LOADER a BID NO. 93-36 BID OPENING: 03 -18-93 2 P.M.

Petition From Al cials and area residents. Nothing has changed since the plan was approved in August ex- cept that now there is an imme- diate opportunity to make money, said Gail Griffin, who is one of the leaders of the opposition to the re- zoning. Griffin lives on Mile Drive, which is the nearest resi- dential area to the proposed store. Griffin said that she has noth- ing against Wal -Mart, only the commercialization of the FM 2818 corridor. But she warns if the area is rezoned, no resident with open space next to their house mould be safe in College Station if i large business wanted to build :here. "Zoning is supposed to be our protection," she said. The petition in favor of the re- zoning was started by store em- ployees who thought College Sta- .ion was getting bad publicity, lark said, and who wanted to make sure that those opposing the rezoning were not the only ones being heard. A table is set up near the en- trance to the store, allowing shoppers to sign the petition as they enter. There is also a draw- ing of what the store would look like when completed and a dia- gram showing where the store would be. The FM 2818 location is the only place in College Station that the company will consider building a store, Clark said. If it was built any farther north, it would be too close to the Super - Center being built in Bryan on Briarcrest Drive. If it was built any farther south, the store would be out of city's "trade area," Clark said. "We would not go through this almost vicious rezoning battle [if there was another possible site]," Clark said. "We've had Wal- Mart's name dragged through the mud by some people. This is the only place." Keith Storm, manager of the College Station Wal -Mart , said he asked for permission for the peti- tion because the public needed to hear the company's side. "We think this is right for our customers and all the people of College Station," Storm said. The company would have en- larged the store at its present site if it had enough room, Storm said. The main advantage to the new 199,000 - square -foot store would be one -stop shopping, Storm said. The College Station store doesn't have enough shelf space for all the products it sells, he said. The new store would have wider aisles, a 200 -seat deli- catessen, a full-line bakery and a meat market, Storm said. About 200 people work at the College Station Wal -Mart, Storm said, and the new store would have almost double the number of employees. 6 9 Wolf Pen construction will cause temporary closings Construction of the Wolf Pen Creek project will cause officials to close por- tions of Holleman Drive and Dart- mouth Street this week.

The two issues are on the agenda for the council's regular meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday. The public will be allowed to speak on both issues at the meeting. Ed Hard, the city's traffic planner, has told the council that prohibiting left turns at Dominik and Texas is necessary for safety reasons. But business owners in the area have objected, saying that prohibiting left turns onto Dominik would deprive them of much of their business. The council was scheduled to vote on the issue at a Jan. 14 meeting, but put off the decision until the Feb. 11 meeting. At that meeting, action was again postponed to allow the business owners time to complete their own engineering study. If the prohibition is approved, the necessary construction could be done as Tuesday, March 23, 1993 The Eagle part of the widening of Texas Avenue by the Texas Department of Transportation. The widening project should start late this year; the state would pay to add a median that would block left turns. The rezoning, which has sparked strong public interest and at least two pe- titions, would affect the council's plan for land use along FM 2818. The current plan calls for a mixture of office, medium - density residential and low- density residential. Wal -Mart wants about 40 acres at FM 2818 and the East Bypass zoned commercial to build a SuperCenter, which is a Wal -Mart with a grocery store attached. People opposed to the rezoning say they are concerned about the encroachment of commercial property on residential areas. Council members will also discuss the rezoning in a workshop meeting sched- uled for Wednesday at 4 p.m. Thursday's regular meeting and Wed- nesday's workshop will both be in Col- lege Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. S. n U • CS council should not cave into demands from Wal -Mart Here's hoping that our elected repre. sentatives in College Station have the guts and foresight to stick by the estab- lished land use plans and zoning and deny the changes requested by Wal -Mart to enable it to build a "super center ". There is no real need for it. There are already three large discount chain stores within blocks of each other. Supermar- kets abound and none of them are ever too crowded for comfort. What's more, Wal -Mart is already tearing down a per- fectly good woods to make way for one of these beauties just a few scant miles to the north. The real issue here, however, is not the merits of the proposed venture itself. The issue is whether the city government should adopt land use plans and zoning crdinances and stick to them for the benefit of residents or should it change them whenever they don't fit into someone's plans. That someone usually represents big money and political clout. The bottom line is, the council should uphold what is already in place regarding the FM 2818 extension and "just say no" to Wal -Mart. If the council says OK, then it may as well just rescind the zoning laws and abolish the Planning and Zon- ing Commission and let anyone build anything anywhere they want to. GEORGE C. WEBER College Station Council should abolish p &Z if it won't follow master plan Why does the city of College Station have a Planning and Zoning Commis- sion? The College Station City Council ac- cepted the land between Texas Avenue and the East Bypass on FM 2818 as pro- posed by the Planning and Zoning Com- mission as residential and a mixture of offices and apartments. Now along comes Wal -Mart, trying to imidate the council. If the council '.'es in to Wal- Mart's wishes, then it should just do away with the Planning and Zoning Commission and get Wal- &lart's real estate agent for Texas to tell the council how to plan and zone our city. Tuesday, March 23, 1993 The Eagle Should the council accede to Wal- Mart's wishes, then no neighborhood in the city of College Station is safe, regard- less of how it is presently zoned. If anyone has any misconceptions Wal-Mart or what ci tra el 5 miles orth Hearne and ask our good neighbors there how Wal. Mart treated them. JIM GORDON College Station • Zoning decision delayed "` by CS council until April A decision on rezoning for a College Station Wal -Mart SuperCenter was placed back in layaway Wednesday by the College Station City Council. Councilmembers were scheduled to decide today whether to rezone almost 40 acres of land near _the northeast corner of the intersection of the East Bypass and FM 2818. But the council unanimously voted to delay the de- cison until its April 8 meeting. The company needs a commercial zone to build a SuperCenter, which combines a full-sized Wal-Mart with a full-sized grocery store. The area is zoned residential and the city's master plan calls for a mixture of office and high and medium - density residential development at that location. Wal -Mart officials asked city offi- cials Tuesday if the decision could be delayed, saying that they were work- ing on additional information to pre- sent to the council. The company also said that John Clark, Wal Mart's prop erty manager for Texas, could not at- tend. City officials said Tuesday that Mayor Larry Ringer had conferred with Mayor Pro Tem Fred Brown and decided to keep the zoning decision on tonight's agenda. But Brown suggested at Wednes- day's council workshop that the delay be granted because two councilmem- bers would probably miss the meeting. Councilwoman Nancy Crouch will be out of town today on business. Mayor Larry Ringer, who did not at- tend Wednesday's meeting, might not be there because of a fire at his house. The council first considered the re- zoning on Feb. 11, but decided to delay consideration until March so the council could reconsider the city's land -use plan.

Sabine Kuenzel Staff Planner 03 -24 -93 • College Station should reject Wal- Mart's rezoning request E I wish we all had the guts to boycott Wal-Mart. I am so angry at the way it is jerking the strings of our community. There already three stores here, counting Sam's. When Wal -Mart puts the indepen- dent shop owners out of business, it might be content, but I doubt it. Bryan has already sold its "soul to the company store." I hope College Station council members have enough faith and confi- dence in their city to know it will con- tinue to prosper without another mega - monster discount store.

The organization, which plans to hold three -hour rally here April 24, was invited t o the city, Grand Dragon Michael Lowe sai d Tuesday in a telephone interview from h Waco home. "Our membership at Texas A &M asked u to," Lowe said of the rally. "We feel like it's fertile ground," he said noting one of the goals of the gathering is t recruit new members. The Klan will hold its "White Christian re- vival" from 1-4 p.m. at Oaks Park on Harvey Road. In a promotional flyer, the KKK alluded to a third reason for gathering here: "You've heard [state representative] Ron Wilson talk about how bad Whites are at Texas A &M. Now a hear what we have to say.... It's high time that you heard the truth. The dreams of our i forefathers are being washed away by a liberal s agenda which intends to brainwash America and destroy your heritage and racial pride, s among other things. The time to act is now!" Lowe said his group's message takes a pro- , white stance as opposed to what he referred to o as the "anti- white" position taken earlier by Wilson. Wilson, a Houston Democrat, said Tuesday he was not concerned by the KKK rally. "It's a free country and they're entitled to express their views ... but I doubt that any of them could qualify to enter the university," Wilson said. "I may just throw on a white sheet and show up myself . bring some barbecue and watermelon," he said with a laugh. College Station Police Chief Edgar Feldman said his department is taking the rally seri- ously. He met Tuesday morning with Lowe to ar- range security for the event. "We happen to be the city they picked and Please see KLAN, page Al Klan From Al we're taking a ll the steps neces- sary to ensure it's it peaceful as- sembly," Feldman said. He said he area resident will have to such a presence. Feldman said he plans to work with Bryan police and the Brazos County Sheriff's Department to provide adequate security for the event.

Leaders of his g roup hope to have 25 rallies before the end of the year, including a return trip to the Brazos Valley. While he said he wasn't sure how many Klansmen would come to town for the event, Feldman's estimate was 25 to 100. Lowe said his members already have been contacting area busi- nesses at random with id id he sages about the rally has received mixed responses, but most recipients voiced surprise at the group's continued presence and modern capabilities. The KKK also plans to promote the local event through telephone solicitations. "The Democrats do it, the Re- publicans do it, businesses do it.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS By Virginia Kettler Purchasing Agent 03 -25- 93,04 -01 -93 L! i s Those opposed to the rezoning said they did not oppose Wal -Mart in particular but were concerned about commercial development encroaching on residential areas. They also said the city's land -use plan needed to have more integ- rity and not be disregarded so eas- ily. Mayor Larry Ringer said Fri- day that at some point, council members will re- examine the land -use plan for the entire city, instead of just the FM 2818 area. John Walter, a leader in the fac- tion opposing the rezoning for Wal -Mart, said he was dis- appointed at the delay. "The discussion about land use needs to continue," Walter said. "There needs to be a consensus about what will be there. "Sure, there was a lot of 'not in my back yard,' " he said, "but that's what a land -use plan is for — so [commercial development] won't be in anyone's back yard." Gail Griffin, a leader in the neighborhood along Mile Drive, which would have been the closest residential area to the new Wal -Mart, said she was "de- lighted" the controversy is over —at least for now. "We hope that Wal -Mart chooses to expand, but in a desig- nated commercial site, so that there won't be any controversy," she said. Griffin doesn't believe that this the last time she will have to con- tend with the encroachment of commercial development. "We've been here for 20 years," she said. "For the last 15, there has been constant pressure for a land -use change. It happens every six months to a year." Saturday, April 3, 1993 The Eagle Wal -Mart considers its options By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Wal -Mart officials withdrew the company's rezoning request be- cause the company is re- evaluating its plans for College Station, a company representa- tive said Friday. "We've temporarily pulled our request, said a spokeswoman in Wal -Mart's home office in Ben- tonville, Ark. "We're re- evaluating what is in the best in- terest of Wal -Mart and the com- munity. College Station officials learned of Wal -Mart's decision Thursday afternoon in a fax from Doucet & Associates, the company's consul- tant on the proposed store. The company had wanted about 40 acres at FM 2818 and the East By- pass rezoned so the company could build a SuperCenter. "Due to local concerns of their proposed SuperCenter, Wal -Mart Stores Inc. is presently re- evaluating their position in Col- lege Station and has put the project on hold," the message said. "Therefore at Wal-Mart 's request, and on behalf of the ap- plicants, I respectfully request that our application for rezoning and preliminary and final plats of the property on FM 2818 be with- drawn. We will promptly notify you as further information is provided by Wal- Mart." The letter was signed by John D. Doucet, who was unavailable for comment Friday. Commercial zoning is needed for Wal -Mart to build a SuperCen- ter, which is a full-sized Wal-Mart with a full-sized grocery store.

College Station City Plan- ner Jim Callaway said his department received a fax Thursday afternoon saying Wal -Mart was withdrawing its application for the rezon- ing. The company cited con- cerns from the community as the reason for its de- cision. Callaway said the letter did not say anything about other possible Wal -Mart lo- cations in College Station.

The council approved the permit on a 5-2 vote, but only after putting re- strictions on the permit. Councilman Hubbard Kennady moved that the city grant the permit if the club owners met the following rees � restrictions: park ■Provide security gu m ing lot. ■ Pick up litter in the parking lot every night. ■Provide a fence between the parking lot and a mobile home park. ■Provide screening between the park- ing lot and a child -care center. The permit is good for one year. The owners, KSK Entertainment, will have to apply again next year. The city can close the club if it finds the club is not in compliance with the permit's restrictions. The building is lo- cated on Southwest Parkway. Councilmen Jim Gardner and Vernon Schneider voted against granting the permit. Gardner said if so many re- strictions were called for, maybe this wasn't the place for a nightclub. Several residents of the Oak Forest Mobile Home Park asked the council to deny the permit, citing problems with The Edge — a previous nightclub which was located near the former movie theater. Patrick Seigert, representing the club's owners, said that everything possible was being done to alleviate the concerns of the park's residents. He said that the owners will provide a Friday, A] bus to act as a designated driver for cus- The Eagle tomers that have had too much to drink, Seigert said. Parking lot rowdiness will be kept to a minimum by providing valet parking, he said. We can oppose KKK rally As a tax- paying citizen of the Brazos Valley, I would like to think that I can voice my opinions on several facts you covered in your article on the K.K.K. ral- ly on April 24 (By the way, what time is it going to start?). Please let the public know when you find out. I would like to think that there are peo- ple who don't condone what the K.K.K. stands for: hatred, bigotry and all kinds of racial separation, injustice based on the color of a person's skin; not the con- tent of one's character. The death of Billy Charles Williams Jr. shook Brazos Valley. It was a wake up call. It's time that we stand up for who and what we believe in. I don't think we are doing as bad as some other places and we should let the K.K.K. know by show- ing support in "Hands Around the Brazos Valley" by coming to the rally to help for a circle of love around the K.K.K. I know that we have come a long way and that we can only continue to work together as sisters and brothers in Christ. So I would like to invite you to come out in the name of Jesus, to show the Devil that he is a liar if he thinks the people of the Brazos Valley will not stand up for the Lord. Come, let's join hands together for the community as a whole. We have come too far to let someone who doesn't live or pay taxes here to start confusion and then leave. Come and let us reason together with the Lord.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEY.AS i By Virginia Kettler Purchasing Agent 04 -05- 93,04 -12 -93 L' Wednesday, April 14, 1993 Local /State Page A4 Race pits veteran against newcomer McIlhaney, Jones in campaign for Place 3 on College Station Council By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Lynn McIlhaney calls it commitment. Vidal Jones calls it being an old- timer. The race for Place 3 on the College Sta- tion City Council features McIlhaney, a homemaker who has served the city as a council member for 10 of the last 11 years, and Jones, a 24- year -old insurance agent who says it is time for some new blood. Jones, who has lived in College Station since 1986, admits that he originally in- tended to serve on one of the city's ad- visory committees, until he noticed that McIlhaney was unopposed. "She's been there a decade," Jones said. "I think it's time for new blood and new ideas. The council has gotten a little complacent." The two newest members on the coun- cil, N nady, electio city to have uncontested races, he said. McIlhaney was on the council from 1982 -86. She sat out a year after losing the mayor's race to Larry Ringer, and has been on the council since 1987. McIlhaney is one of the main council proponents of a "vision" for the city. She would like to involve both cities, both school districts, the county and Texas A &M in developing a vision process for the community. The process of developing a vision, with the participation of many people from all areas of the community, is as important as the final project, she said. McIlhaney's vision is of a family - oriented city that is planned for beauty. It should be a place where business, neigh- borhoods and nature are in harmony, she said. said she was the leader in establishing an application process for city committees, instead of just having council members appoint friends and neighbors. McIlhaney has become active in state and national organizations, including the Texas Municipal League, and is one of the first members of the Texas Leader- ship Institute, which helps teach leader- ship skills to municipal officials throughout Texas. Jones said that he doesn't want to see another property tax increase in College Station. The city council approved a 1A -cent tax increase in September 1992, raising the rate from 40 cents per $100 of evaluation to 41Y4 cents. Jones said that the city needs to stop making it so hard on businesses that want to locate in College Station. Jones over Wal- for co McILHANEY JONES mercial growth, right now," Jones said. "If Wal -Mart doesn't go there, that area will be underdeveloped for some time." Jones said that while the wishes of nearby property owners were important, the council should do what is best for the city. "I don't mind stepping on some toes," he said. McIlhaney and Councilman Jim Gard- ner have done great service to the coun cil, he said, and have been a stabilizing factor. But the pair seem to want to have things "stay as they are," he said. ancy Crouch and Hubbard Ken- She wrote the outline for the city's eth- mentioned the recent squabble won their seats in uncontested ics policy, she said, which is being used Mart. ins, Jones said.

Almost everyone agrees that economic development is crucial to the strength of our community. David Hickson knows the importance of attracting new business and promoting the expansion of existing ones. By reviewing the existing vision for growth, Hickson believes the city can develop a solid founda- tion for the future and improve on the high quality of life associated with College Station. And so is the future.

In May 1992, Hickson's company, CIC Agency Inc., was looking to expand. They had picked out a warehouse in south Col- lege Station, but there was one problem: The building needed a larger waterline to install a fire hydrant. The College Station City Council voted to extend the line in an effort to help the local business expand. "There was one opponent," Hickson said. "Jim Gardner." Gardner has represented Place 5 since 1987. A former city planner and a profes- sor emeritus of planning at Texas A &M, he first served on the council from 1974 -78. Hickson said he is the pro-business candidate, while Gardner favors no growth. Gardner said calling him anti- business is unfair and not accurate. But he said he disagrees with spending tax dollars to in- duce growth. "College Station can continue without an industrial tax base," he said. "But then, education is an industry. It brings in dollars from outside the city." As a councilman, Hickson said, he would work to create the infrastructure GARDNER HICKSON to bring businesses to College Station. New businesses are important, he said, because of the condition of the state's budget and the possible effects on Texas A &M. "If A&M takes a hit, businesses will have to be in place to take some of those employees," Hickson said. The local economy doesn't warrant spending tax dollars to draw business, Gardner said. The city will continue to grow naturally without inducements. The orientation of recent councils has been pro - growth, Gardner said. Too much emphasis has been put on growth and the costs have too high, he said. The council should work to make Col- lege Station a city with the amenities and the quality of life that will make people want to come here. Hickson said. The Wolf Pen Creek project is a prime exam- ple of that, he said. Gardner and Hickson do agree on Wolf Pen Creek Park. Gardner has been one of the project's strongest proponents of the project on the council. He said he sees the park as a fine -arts area, with a city library in addi- tion to the amphitheater. • 125 Legal Notices tions may be obtained at the office of the Purchasing Agent.

The purpose of the legislation, said Eddie Joe Davis, deputy chancellor of the A &M System, is to provide a new power plant at Power From Al Seven College Station city offi- cials met Tuesday at the universi- ty system headquarters building with Davis and Rick Porter of McCall, Parkhurst and Horton, the A &M System's bond counsel. Other officials at the meeting include two representatives from - the city of Bryan, three rep - resentatives from the city's bond `bounsel, three representatives `from TMPA, two representatives from Tenneco, one from CSW Energy, a lawyer that helped the `city draft its proposal and James B. Bond, the systems general counsel and his assistant. The 9o- minute meeting was openly contentious, with partici- pants interrupting each other and an occasional raised voice. Davis arranged the meeting Monday to explain the rationale for the bill, introduced at the uni- versity's request by Sen. Jim Turner, D- Crockett. The bill would allow A &M re- gents to form a non - profit corpor- ation that could issue tax- exempt bonds so a private company could the greatest savings to Texas A &M and to the citizens of Texas. College Station City Manager Ron Ragland has complained that the effect of the legislation would be to undercut the competitive advantage of College Station, Bryan and the Texas Municipal Power Agency, which together compose one of three groups mak- ing proposals to A &M to build the plant. build a new power plant for A &M. The College Sta - tion/Bryan/TMPA group, with College Station acting as the lead agency, already has tax- exempt status. Turner, who has said he was surprised by Ragland's comments on the bill, said Monday that he will not move the legislation for- ward until the dispute between the city and the university has been cleared up. Davis said the bill does two things: ■Allows A &M regents to create a non - profit corporation that could pay off bonds before the bonds come due. ■Allows the university to enter into a long -term contract with that corporation. Both parts are designed to get a better bond rating in the market place and thus save the state money, Davis said. Regents can already form a non- profit organization, Davis said, but the legislation is needed in case that corporation decides to pay off the debt early. Davis said the system's finan- cial advisors had estimated that the bill could save taxpayers be- tween $8 million and $10 million. 6 U • SCOTT CASKEY College Station Community should ignore the Ku Klux Klan's rally The Ku Klux Klan has a legal right to rally here. I hope this community will give them the treatment they so richly deserve Wednesday, April 21, 1993 The Eagle — shun them entirely. Ignoring is the most effective put -down. If you are absolutely compelled to demonstrate, rally at your church, go to Miracle Farm's "Day in the Country," help Habi- tat, or show support for agencies which promote healthy, whole- some development, such as Boys' and Girls' Club or North Bryan Community Center. I hope Clifton Stewart (Eagle, April 9) refrains from surround- ing KKK participants with a "circle of love." Since love is the strongest force in the world, that would bring pleasure upon them which would create resentment and more hostility. Hatred dies of starvation. I urge protestors not to feed it.

Early voting began April 12 and ended Tuesday. Galloway, Bryan's city secre- tary, said 727 people voted in per- son at the Bryan Municipal Building in the races for four Bryan City Council seats and two spots on the Bryan school board. That equates to 2.2 percent of the 32,464 registered voters, she said. That figure includes voters in the Bryan city limits and voters in rural Brazos County that vote in Bryan school elections, she said. There is also six ballots out that may come in the mail, Gal- loway said. Last year's early voting period only brought out 293 voters, she said. Hooks said 472 of the 30,429 re- gistered voters — 1.5 percent — cast ballots at College Station City Hall for early voting. That figure includes expected mail -in ballots, she said. Those 30,000 voters include cit- izens of College Station and those in rural Brazos County that vote in College Station school elec- tions. Three seats on the College Sta- tion City Council and two seats on the College Station school board are on the ballot. Last year the College Station city - school elections brought out 285 people for early voting, Hooks said. Brazos County Clerk Mary Ann Ward said more voters turned out for the U.S. Senate - Texas Constitutional Amend- ment elections than were report- ed in both cities. But she said the number pales in comparison to the numbers who voted for the November presidential election. Ward recorded 1,208 at the Bra- zos County Courthouse, 50 voters at the Brazos County Arena, 78 voters at Galilee Baptist Church, 463 voters at the Memorial Stu- dent Center at Texas A &M and 447 voters at the College Station school districts administrative offices, for a total of 2,246 voters. With 63,247 registered voters in Brazos County, Ward said there was a turnout of 3.5 percent for early voting. November's election had about 13,000 turn out for the early vot- ing period, Ward said. Voters will be able to go to one place Saturday to vote for city -s- chool and Senate - amendment elections. Voters will have to go through the voting process twice — once for city - schools and once for Sen- ate- amendments. Officials said that there was not enough time between Gov. Ann Richards calling the special election and election day for local voting officials to clear combined polling places for early voting with the Justice Department in Washington D.C. • College Station needs ndw council members College Station needs a change in' he make up of its city council. It is becoming more important for College Station to attract and re- tain businesses to expand the tax ba$e. Failure to keep up with this trend will increase property taxes. Landlords pass tax in- creases onto tenants in the form of tent increases. While this is go- ing on, Jim Gardner has contin- ue� to put obstacles in the way of existing businesses. The city government has continued to fu4d projects rejected by the voters in bond elections, such as Wolf Pen Creek and the cemetery upgrade. Fees increase, and ser- vile decreases, as in the case of traish collection. 1 ow turnout not withstanding, than city council is still accounta- bld to the voters. Gardner has be$n in office too long and has lost toqch with the electorate. Lynn Mclihaney has been slipping too. Another term in office might fully wipe out the good she may have dofle over the years. 'heir challengers, David Hick - so4 and Vidal Jones, are the kind of leaders that can foster growth in College Station without forfeit- ing our quality of life. Both have promised more openness. Let's claim College Station back for the pe ®ple. Let's show up at the polls and vote for Hickson and Jones.

She stressed dur Place 3 (I)Lynn McIlhaney .....................3,3 Vidal Jones . ..........................1, ing the campaign — and again on election night — that she would like to involve both cities, both school dis. tricts, the county and Texas A &M in developing a vision process for the community. The process of developing a vision, with the participation of many people from all areas of the community, is as important as the final project, she said. Her vision is of a family- oriented city that is planned for beauty. It should be a place where business, neighborhoods and nature are not in conflict, but in harmony, she has said. McIlhaney has become active in state and national organizations, in- cluding the Texas Municipal League and is one of the first members of the Texas Leadership Institute, which helps teach leadership skills to muni- cipal leaders throughout Texas. McIlhaney said Saturday that she wasn't able to campaign door -to -door this year because she was busy plan- for the city. She stressed during the campaign and again on election night — that she would like to involve both cities, both school districts, the county and Texas A &M in developing a vision process for the communi- ty. ning a regional TML meeting in Col- lege Station and finishing her leader- ship institute training. Jones had said that he didn't want to see another property tax increase in College Station. The city council approved a 1 1 /4 -cent tax increase in Sbptember 1992, raising the rate from 40 cents per ,$100 of evaluation to 41Y4-cents per $100.

Newcomer David Hickson beat incumbent Place 5 Coun- cilman Jim Gardner on Satur- day by a vote of 2,386 to 1,968. Hickson spent a lot of his own money and it paid off.

Hickson defeated Gardner, a former city planner and professor emeritus of planning at Texas A &M who first served on the council from 1974 -78. He has represented Place since 1987. Hickson said during the campaign that he was the pro - business candidate, while Gardner is in favor of no growth, or the status quo. Hickson said he would work to create the infra- structure to bring businesses to College Station. New businesses are important, he said, because of the condition of the state's budget and the possible effects of budget cuts on Texas A &M. Gardner said Saturday that he has been defeated three times in elections and that it is never an en- joyable experience. "I'm a retiree and a widower," Gardner said when asked if he would stay active in city affairs. "I don't want to just stay home and wash dishes for the rest of my life." Gardner had said during the campaign that call- ing him anti - business was unfair and not accurate. He said that he disagreed with spending tax dol- lars to induce growth.

The digging is necessary to move city water lines and eventually place the overhead electric lines underground. "We're about half-way through," said Robert Gadbois, energy services manager for the public utilities department. "Right now, we're just doing the water lines." The city has to move water and electric lines to the the east to allow the Texas Department of Transportation to con- struct two extra lanes for traffic on Texas, between University Drive and Harvey Road. With cooperation from the weather, Gadbois said, the water line project will be finished by the end of June. Burying the electric lines is a totally separate project, he said. The contract for burying the electric lines has not been finalized.. Exactly when the state will begin widening the street is not clear. The transportation department originally planned to begin construction this sum- mer, but the latest word is that the con- tracts won't be finalized until late this year. The final cost for the water line reloca- tion project is about $130,000, Gadbois said.

He is Francis Euel Savage II, 48, whose whereabouts are listed in A&M's Directory of Former Students as "un- known." But Texas Avenue drivers know where the member of the Class of '67 is all right. Savage spends most days sitting be- side his "Elijah" car right outside the university, selling his custom -made wooden crosses. Many College Station residents write him off as a nut. While his methods are a bit unortho- dox, Savage has dreams of solving America's homeless problem, spread- ing the love of God, strengthening fami- lies, supporting the economy of Texas and improving relations between Christians and Jews. His dreams, however, don't stop pas- sersby from cursing him, mocking him and even throwing things at him. But Savage said such behavior doesn't anger him. "When you take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the street in any form, you au- tomatically have a polarizing effect on anyone coming down the street," he said. Savage majored in psychology at A &M and was a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. He also holds a mas- ter of business administration degree from the University of Dallas. Ten years ago, Savage was the owner of two restaurants in Lubbock, where he lived with his wife and five children. Walking in a field one day, he said he experienced a "spiritual communica- tion' with God, although it wasn't by way of an audible voice. "He asked me, `What have you done to bless the Jewish people in the land of Israel?' " Savage said. When he had to answer that he'd done nothing to help, he said God told Driving home a point him that he should have a different an- swer the next time he was asked. Savage began answering God's call by Purchasing wheat with a friend and shipping it to Israel. In 1983, he went to Jerusalem to help distribute the wheat. Since that time, he's dedicated his life to God. Along the way, he lost his Please see HOMELESS, page A3 - Uf LIM Luawin -niaae w0000en crosses he sells by the side of the road in College Station. Savage said he had a calling from God to help the homeless. Bryan - College Station Eagle S July 25, 1 993 Page A3 From page one thanks in more than 20 billboards around town. While they appreciate the pub- lic display, city officials say they are in no way trying to profit from the tragedy that has mesmerized thousands of summer travelers who have come to view the charred rubble of the compound. Copies of a hand - sketched map of how to get to the location are available at a visitors and tourist center "because of the over- whelming interest," Sheehy said. "But we are not about to put up billboards, saying, 'Come see the site of the fire, "' he said. "That's not the attention we want." The road to the compound was recently closed for repairs. Offi- cials deny the move was an at- tempt to stifle tourists' efforts. The mayor acknowledges the city's uninvited relationship with the disaster is far from over. In- vestigations into the siege by fed- eral and independent committees continue and trials for several surviving cult members are ex- pected to begin soon. "Until the criminal trials and investigations are over, our city will probably be tied to the inci- dent," Sheehy said. 'But if Waco is going to linger in the minds of people, we just want to make sure it's a true image." Homeless From Al wife and five children, who he said he's been unable to contact for seven years. He's also sold all that he owned — except his car — to help the poor, citing the bibli- cal command of Jesus. Savage then made a vow to God. To communicate with the homeless, he himself became homeless. He decided to spend every night sleeping in the trunk of his car until he devises a way to solve the homeless problem. His incentive for this idea was that he would be the last homeless person to receive a shelter. "My primary objective now is to promote the idea of re- homing homeless people through the Christians and the Jews working together," he said. "As we learn to work better together — humbly work together — I think God will help us both," he said. The project God has called him to do, Savage said, is to build the "Millenium Eagle" — a homeless shelter complete with a three -year supply of food. Each shelter would be 10 feet long, 6 feet high and 6 feet wide, he saV. It would depend on solar panels and batteries for power, he said, with the "workings" on the inside coming from Israeli companies. The model for the shelter is in the design of the Ark of the Co- venant, carried by the Jews dur. ing their 40 -year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, Sav- age says. The crosses and staves he now creates are the starting point in making this vision a reality, he says. Savage says he sells one or two a day at $12 each. He hopes to sell enough to buy a ticket to Jeru- salem on Oct. 6. Once there, he intends to talk to companies about donating their Products to help cause of home- less Americans. Savage said he will leave Col- lege Station in August to take his "biblical art tour" on the road. This includes not only the crosses and staves, but his car, painted to resemble the Chariot of Fire of Elijah, the Jewish prophet. Savage says his crosses are for "children of all ages who love God." The oldest child to buy one, he said, was 74. • THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION IS REQUESTING In Town &Texas BIDS FOR THE FOLLOWING: PURCHASE & INSTALLA- TION TH E CONF CONF ERENCE VE FOR THE NCGE Cs to hold workshop CENTER BID NO. 9 BID OPENIN in police department 05/13/93 - 2:00 P.M.

Texas Ave. College Station, TX 77840 Lqual opportunity Emplover CS to add 2 traffic lights on University By PHILLIP SULAK Eagle staff writer Members of the College Station City Council on Thursday approved two new traffic lights and the change of two streets to one -way. Traffic lights will be installed at the in- tersection of East Tarrow and University drives and at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue with University and Spring Loop. Tarrow, which intersects University at the Randall's Shopping Center, will be- come a one -way road traveling north to south, from the road's intersection with East Tarrow to University. East Tarrow, which runs between the Bryan- College Station Visitors and Convention Bureau and the College Station Hilton, will be- come a south -to -north one -way, from University Drive to where the road inter- sects with Tarrow. East Tarrow becomes 29th Street at the city limits. The plan, designed by Joe Blaschke of Transportation Engineering Analysts, calls for East Tarrow to eventually be ex- tended to Lincoln Drive from where it ends at University. The new portion of East Tarrow would be northbound one - way, with Tarrow becoming a south- bound one way. Residents of the Chimney Hill subdiv- ision requested a third traffic signal for the intersection of Tarrow with Spring Loop and Hearthstone Streei. Hearth- stone is the main entrance to the subdiv- ision and residents said they have had trouble getting out of the subdivision and Please see LIGHTS, page A6 Lights From Al onto Tarrow. City officials said they would approve the third traffic signal if money could be found in the budget. Blaschke will receive $13,000 for drawing up the plans.

BORDEN Eagle staff writer Left turns to and from Dominik Drive at its intersection with Texas Avenue will be prohibited by extension of a traf- fic median, following a 4-1 vote of the Col- lege Station City Council Thursday night. The median will be part of a state project, scheduled to begin in December, that will widen Texas Avenue to six lanes. Because the city approved the median now, the state will pick up the en- tire cost of the project. Councilman Fred Brown voted against the motion, saying the city had not listened to business owners along Do- minik nor to home owners on Kyle Avenue, which is expected to have 2,000 more cars a day added to the 8,100 a day it now has. "The only ones who have asked us to prohibit left turns are the consul- tants," Brown said. "We may save accidents on Texas Avenue but we will add accidents on Kyle Avenue." Voting to add the median were Mayor Larry Ringer and councilmen Hub Ken - nady, Lynn Mcllhaney and David Hick- son. Council members Vernon Schneider and Nancy Crouch were absent. Thursday's decision came after the matter was postponed in January, Feb- ruary and March to allow further study by city staff members and by Traffic En- gineers and Design Group of Houston, an engineering firm hired by affected busi- ness owners along Dominik. Rep- resentatives of the firm on Thursday suggested a traffic light along with some engineering modifications to existing left -turn lanes on Texas Avenue would solve the problem of traffic crossing the northbound lanes of Texas Avenue to get to and from Dominik. City staff members said a traffic signal won't work because it would further complicate overcrowding at the intersec- tion of Texas and George Bush Drive immediately to the north of Dominik. The median to be built will allow the left turn lanes from Texas onto George Bush to be extended further south, thus easing some of the traffic jams, staffers said. -Turn from Al The controversy over the - median may not be over, 'however. Charles Spear, an asso- Iciate of Jerry J. Moore of Hous- 'ton, owner of Culpepper Plaza, said Moore will "consider any alternatives he has," including, - Spear said, legal action. Without the continuation of left turns, Spear said, the businesses .along Dominik will be forced to close. "The city didn't even con- sider any remuneration to the business owners for the business they are going to lose," Spear said. City figures show that, while the businesses along Dominik will sutler, they will retain most of their customers. "They will find a way to get there and it will be a safer way," Ringer said. "We've got to be con- cerned about the safety of the public as a whole." The Dominik -Texas intersec- tion is one of the five most dan- gerous locations in the city, ac- cording to traffic accident stud- ies. Spear challenged that as- sumption, saying 80 percent of the accidents there didn't require ambulances or fire trucks on the scene. Kennady, who is a lawyer, said he worried about the city's liabili- ty in failing to prohibit left turns at the intersection after studies showed it to be dangerous. "We've inherited a problem of the city growing and we can't change that. If it wasn't growing we could wait 10 more years to solve this but we don't have the time." After the vote to ban left turns, the council agreed to ask city staff members to make a comprehen- sive study of traffic concerns in the area, including the possibility of connecting Dominik to George Bush at Texas Avenue. City Man- ager Ron Ragland said such a plan would work, but would cost mil- lions of dollars. "It's going to be expensive, but we may have to bite the bullet," Ringer said. Fridoy, Moy 28, 1993 In 1987, the College Station City Council first began to discuss the concept of developing the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor, which runs from Texas Avenue to the East Bypass. It was born out of the need to have a comprehensive plan that would acknowledge and coordinate the interrelationships of drainage, erosion, and recreation within this corridor, while creating a community focal point through public and private development. In October 1988, the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan was approved by the City Council and in December a Tax Increment Finance District was approved for the area. This tax district requires the tax that is collected on the improvements in this area be set aside and used to further develop the area for a period of ten years. This taxing agreement for Wolf Pen Creek was also adopted by the College Station Independent School District and Brazos County. In 1989 the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan was included in the city's comprehensive plan and the City Council adopted a special zoning ordinance to establish land uses and building standards compatible with the master plan. Also in 1989, the city accepted a $100,000 donation from the Astin Trust for the Amphitheater and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department approved a $500,000 grant for the project. This, along with money already designated for parkland development and improvements to drainage ways, was allotted for the construction of PHASE I only, which includes the amphitheater, restrooms, lake, sidewalks, and a small adjacent parking/loading area. This phase of development was not involved in the bond election of 1990. The design for PHASE I was completed in June 1990 and authorization for construction came in November 1990. The project was planned for completion in February 1993, however several delays in construction due to weather caused the rescheduling of the Wolf Pen Creek Gala to May 28, 1993. Further purchases of land (as indicated on the map included in this brochure) in and around the project have been approved and made by the City Council in order to provide for parking and other necessities for the completion of PHASE I, and for the eventual relocation of Central Fire Station. Future development of the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan allows for nature trails and a study center, a historical museum, library, community center, floral and botanical gardens, picnic shelters, and additional lakes and sidewalks to just mention a few items. Future phases of this project will need the support of College Station's citizenry to become a reality. As with all projects of this magnitude, there are some risks that must be taken. The College Station City Council has tried to be good stewards while taking the calculated risks they felt necessary to make the vision become a reality. It is the desire of this City Council that one day the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor will represent the best in public - private partnerships and development. Their ultimate desire is that the City of College Station and its residents will be proud of the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor and can benefit culturally, recreationally, and economically.

McGraw is cut from the same honky-tonk mold as Diffie and is a natural opening act for the hot country singer. Local favorites Joe Orsack and Special F/X opened the show with a long, rollicking mood f estab- lished the party evening. And a party it was, complete with fireworks to kick off the am- phitheater's first season. After lengthy opening remarks by Mayor Ringer and former Councilman Dick Haddox — the prime mover in getting the Wolf Pen Creek project started — things moved at a pretty fast pace. Changeover time between bands was kept to a minimum — hardly enough time for the women in the audience to wait in the long line at the restrooms. If Friday's opening concert was any indication, the people of Col- lege Station and Bryan are in for many seasons of flue at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater. By ROBERT C. BORDEN Eagle staff writer The devil may still be dancing at the new Wolf Pen Creek Am- phitheater in College Station, but if he is, it isn't in country singer Joe Diffie's pockets because there's no longer any room. To put it mildly, Diffie has hit it big in country music with such songs as "If You Want Me - New Way to Light Up an Old Flame" and "If the Devil Danced in Empty Pockets (He'd Have a Ball in Mine),` all best - sellers from his debut album. The crowd expected to hear them Friday disappointed. and In little w eren't more than two years, he has be- come one of the top acts in the Bob Wills -Ernest Tubb - George Jones tradition of nasal twang country. Diffie is from the "hard drin- kin' and fast women who love you and leave you" school of country. He was introduced Friday night as the nation's top honky- tonker and he lived up to the moniker. Saturday, May 29, 1993 The Eagle eoncertreview In fact, the name of his current road trip is the Honky Tonk Atti tude tour, taken from the new album and single of the same name. Diffie's music at times is a little bit raunchy, a little bit rock 'n' roll, but he remains through and through country. Although his strong suit is faster songs that he sings at a fever pitch, Diffie cooled it down several times Fri- day night with slower numbers like "Is It Cold In Here or Is It Just You ?" and "That Was the Easy Part."

The task force, which followed an afternoon graduation ceremony at A &M Consolidated High School, hit the streets, about 9 P.M. Saturday and worked into, the early morning hours Sunday. The• plain - clothed officers cited at least three teens for possession of alcohol and two adults for furnishing minors with alco- hol, said Sgt. Dan Jones. A final tally and further details sur- rounding the task force activities will be available when all of the related reports are completed, he added. The officers focused their efforts on areas known for teen traffic and reports, of loud parties, Jones said. Outside Wolf Pen Bowling Center, 7500, E. Bypass, at about 11 p.m. the officers found beer in a pickup truck there and cited an 18- year -old occupant for posses- sion of alcohol, Jones said. Less than an hour later, task force offi- cers outside Arbor Square Apartments, 1700 Southwest Parkway, found an apartment full of alcohol and minors. The youth were spilling onto the balcony of the apartment and inside the officers found "too many empty (beer) cans to count, „ an assortment of bottled liquor and a bathtub full of ice and beer, he said. One teen who tried to hide an open can of beer in a sink there was issued was cited for possession of alcohol, Jones said. Just after midnight and a few blocks away at another apartment complex on Southwest Parkway, police located a sec- ond party — a high school graduation party. One 19- year -old guest there was cited for minor in possession of alcohol and two residents of the apartment were is- sued citations for furnishing alcohol to a minor, Jones said. Bryan police did not report any significant graduation- related criminal activity. • CS police checkpoint welcomes travelers • By KATY HALL Eagle staff writer College Station police planned a special Memorial Day welcome for travelers heading north through the city on Texas 6 — a traffic safety checkpoint. Eight uniformed officers working from noon until 5 p.m. wrote a total of 188 cita- tions and arrested four individuals at the checkpoint at Rock Prairie Road, said Sgt. Greg Lewis. "We were out there looking for any traffic violations... emphasizing seat belt violations," Lewis said of the five -hour operation. He said the citations ranged from minor in possession of alcohol to expired inspection stickers, but the majority were for seat belt violations. The four arrests were two for outstanding war- rants and two for drug possession. Traffic was funneled down to one lane on the northbound side of the highway. As the vehicles passed the checkpoint, those suspected of violations were stopped, Lewis said. "It worked out quite well," he said. "We were able to monitor the traffic without interfering with the traffic." The department has performed similar seat belt checks in the past within the city, but Monday marked the first time it was attempted on the Bypass because of the traffic speed. The increased traffic expected for the Memorial Day holiday prompted them to take the program to the highway, Lewis said. "For the most part, it was received re- latively well," Lewis said, noting most of the drivers, even those cited, were pleased to see the police presence.

Tuesday, June 8, 1993 The Eagle Amphitheater needs to rethink public policies Well, the new Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater has now had it's Grand Opening Gala. On May 28, the first concert with Joe Diffie was put on in the not quite com- plete amphitheater. My wife and I attended the opening ceremonies and concert. I must confess I was impressed by the general layout and landscap- ing of the whole area. It is indeed going to be a beautiful park. As we walked into the theater we realized that we would have to do some climbing to get up the hill. As we got up to the chair ren- tals, we saw that the chairs are the type with short legs. My wife cannot use on of those because of a medical prob m. But fortunate- ly there were a ew full-size chairs for people who eeded them, so we rented those. We knew that the concert would probably be rather loud, so we were sitting near the back, far be- hind the audio consoles in the center. That gave us perhaps 50 to 100 feet of open space in front of US. Then we were told by a couple of the security personnel that we would have to move back to the concrete walk. They rationalized that we were blocking the view of people behind us. As a matter of fact, there were not enough people at the concert to completely fill the area, and it was obvious that there would be a wide open area of green grass up to the walk for the whole concert. We were told rather rudely we must move, and move we did with everyone else who had a full-size chair. The concert started and it was very good from what we could hear. However, we, of course, couldn't see anything. The open green grass area in front of us be- came the traffic area for everyone walking across for food and drinks. There was a constant flow of people parading in front of us, and so we couldn't see. We left early. I think that College Station has a good idea with the WPC con- cept. Put it's pretty obvious that only the young and able need at- tend under the current manage- ment. I wonder if anyone is going to file complaints under the fed- eral disabilities act about how people with problems are treated at WPC. I sure hope that the man- agement takes a hard look at its policies for future events. It would be a shame for such a beau- tiful facility as WPC to start off with a negative reputation. GREGORY R. JONES Bryan • 930 TATION 756 9306" S Box 9960 77E COLLEGE STATION TX Tucker (left), Christacia Haswell Park in Brvan. 'he Ear BmCS is rich with ci By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer No matter where you live in Bryan or College Sta- tion, it's a safe bet you're no more than a minute or two from a city park. Fifty -five parks dot the two cities. Some, such as Heritage Park in Bryan's historic district, occupy little more than a city block. A few, like College Sta- tion's Lick Creek Park, encompass hundreds of College Station's 29 parks cover about 900 acres of land. Bryan has 26 parks covering about 1,524 acres, including the 764 acres of water that make up Lake Bryan. City officials spend tens of thousands of dollars keeping the parks in tip -top shape for the thousands who visit them each year. The College Station parks department's fiscal 1992 budget was just over $2.4 million; of that, about parks $139,500 was spent on maintenance. Bryan's budget was about $1.4 million, about $353,000 of which was spent on maintenance and utilities for the facilities, said Joe Brown, city spokesman. Two dozen full-time employees maintain Bryan facilities; 22 people maintain College Station parks. The crews are augmented each summer by as many as a dozen part-time employees. Part- timers play a large role in the maintenance program, especially in College Station, where just 54 of the as many as 271 employees work full -time. Each city divide their maintenance crews into three teams, each responsible for one district in each city. Ensuring that the parks are safe and clean is their biggest responsibility, said Tony Cisneros, director of parks and recreation in Bryan. Routine maintenance includes mowing every sev- en to 10 days, clearing litter and emptying trash re- Parks From Al ceptacles, repairing vandalism, and cleaning restrooms and pavi- lions at least every other day. Pest control is high on the list of prior- ities as well. "We have a very aggressive fire ant control program," Cisneros said. "We are constantly putting out control chemicals." Local officials find it much eas- ier to maintain the parks year - round than to try to catch up each spring, but preparing for winter requires a few special tasks. Water supplies to restrooms, pa- vilions and pools must be drained and the pipes filled with anti - freeze. Winter is also when parks of l- cials plan their major repairs at each park, Beachy said. Crews also sow grass seeds on athletic fields and plant flowers. Each city has three pools, staf- fed mostly by part -time em- ployees. The pools are among the cities' busiest attractions each year, drawing as many as 73,000 bathers annually. Two parks seem to be most popular. In Bryan, Sue Haswell Park on William J. Bryan Park- way draws the most visitors, Cis- neros said. The long, narrow park features basketball and tennis courts, soc- cer fields, softball diamonds and a swimming pool, many trees and a huge patch of wildflowers. Haswell Park is another popu- lar one and is the area's oldest park, dating to 1925. Tyler Haswell donated 9.5 acres to the city for a park in memory of his mother, Sue Haswell. Tyler Haswell, a Bryan busi- nessman and civic leader, was mayor of Bryan from 1921 until 1923 and again from 1925 until 1927. Dexter Park, at Dexter Street and George Bush Drive, is College Station's oldest park. Council members founded the park, now known as Brison Park, in 1947 after purchasing land from F.B. Clark and Hershel Burgess. College Station's Central Park, East Bypass at Krenek Tap Road, is that city's most popular park, said Steve Beachy, director of parks and recreation. The 47 -acre park, opened in 1978, includes a nature trail through dense woods, four soft- ball diamonds and other athletic fields and a pond teeming with fish and ducks. Although parks crews will take sick and injured animals to A &M's vet school or the Brazos Animal Shelter for treatment, the animals are, for the most part, left to fend for themselves. "Our wildlife is just that — wild life," Cisneros said. C CS police to ask council for additional officers The College Station Police Depart- ment on Thursday will ask the City Council for permission to hire addi- tional officers to compensate for ex- pected resignations. The request will be discussed and possibly voted on during Thursday's College Station City Council meeting at 7 P.M. in the council chambers of City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. If approved, the program will allow the department to hire three officers over the council's self-imposed 70 -of- ficer limit. Police officials estimate that they have a turnover rate of nine officers per year. Because it takes nine to 12 months to train an officer, they esti- mate needing three extra officers to keep them at the allotted level. The department currently employs 69 officers and is in the process of hir- �ng one more. Also on the agen E discus of the already app ,Extension project. The project calls for - street and drainage improvements to '. made on Eleanor and Montclair !streets. These renovations will allow easier access to Lincoln Park. The awarding of a construction con tract to Young Brothers Inc. of Bryan will allow construction to begin on r July 1. The project is expected to be completed 90 days later at an esti mated cost of about $108,000. v' In closed session, the TCA Cable Franchise negotiation report will be discussed.

Cars were funneled to one lane and those "suspected of viola- tions" were pulled over. I find this a particularly offensive and in- trusive activity. Surely, there are enough real crimes being com- mitted that our police force could investigate rather than manufac- Thursday, June 10, 1993 The Eagle ture crimes while harassing and inconveniencing innocent people. The police department should be ashamed of itself for conducting this sort of unjustifiable violation of citizens' rights. Perhaps they are planning house by house searches next. This is a free coun- try — not a police state. Let's not treat people like criminals until they've done something wrong. I was amused to read Sgt. Greg Lewis's statement that "most drivers, even those cited, were pleased to see the police present." Yeah, right. JOE ANDERSON Bryan LOIJ CS police get OK to hire more officers By TANYA SASSER Eagle staff wr iter L-1 Friday, June 11, 1993 The Eagle The College Station City Council on Thursday approved a program which will allow the police department to hire additional officers to compensate for ex- pected annual resignations. Under the approved plan, the depart- ment will be able to hire three officers over the city's 70- officer limit. Police officials estimate they have a turnover rate of nine officers per year. Since it takes nine to 12 months to train an officer, the department needs about three extra officers each year to keep them at the allotted level. The department now has 69 officers and is in the process of hiring one more. The cquncil awarded a contract to Young Brothers Inc. of Bryan for comple- tion of the Eleanor Street Extension project. This project calls for street and drain- age improvements to be made on Eleanor and Montclair streets. The renovations are designed to allow easier access to Lincoln Park. Construction, estimated by Young Brothers Inc. to cost about $108,000, will begin July 1 and should be completed within 90 days. Council members approved a request from Myrad Real Estate to rezone Lot 2, Block 2, Westchester Park II from me- dium- density apartments to single fami- ly. Some College Station residents voiced their approval of the change, saying that the proposal would make the land, near Rock Prairie Elementary School, more consistent with the adjacent land, which is primarily occupied by single - family homes. The council went into executive ses- sion, according to the agenda, to discuss the TCA Cable Franchise negotiation re- port. The report from the council's man- agement director charted the progress of negotiations between the city and TCA Cable for a new franchise agreement. No action was taken concerning the franchise. • r� I t CS sets 96 decibels as level for Wolf Pen A decibel level of 96 was decided upon for the Wolf Pen Creek Amphith- eater recently by the College Station Parks and Recreation Board. During the amphitheater's opening concert on May 28, several different decibel readings were taken from var- ious locations around the amphith- eater, located at 1015 Colgate St. in Col- lege Station. The decibel reading of 96 was taken from the top of a concrete path on a hill, which is about 250 feet from the stage. This number was decided upon after discussion during the council meeting Tuesday. If a band exceeds the decibel level while performing in the amphitheater, it will be requested to reduce the noise level. If the band doesn't comply, it will be asked to leave the amphith- eater,,according to Parks and. Recrea- tion officials. • . i - Decibel level readings will be taken at every concert throughout the sum- mer. The board will meet at the end of the summer to review and possibly re- vise the present decibel level.

Palasota Construction was installing a city sewer line along Harvey Road when a backhoe damaged a 6 -inch gas line buried about six feet underground, said Gary Thigpen, district manager for Lone Star Gas, owner of the pipeline. College Station Fire Department Lt. Steven Hisaw said 911 dispatchers received the call about 3 p.m. Within minutes, firefighters arrived at the scene and, using a combustible gas detector, established a "hot zone" of about 50 feet surrounding the leak — the approximate distance the gas had extended, Hisaw said. In the meantime, firefighters and police blocked off traffic on Harvey Road from Dartmouth Street to Stall- ings Drive and evacuated 20 to 25 people from three buildings at nearby Woodstock Condominiums, he said. "The odds are if someone were to light a match in that hot zone, it would ignite. That's why we evacuate the area," Hisaw said of the precautionary measure. He said a shift in the brisk wind would have meant a larger evacuation. As it was, the wind was carrying the escaping gas down Harvey Road and away from nearby Please see GAS, page A8 Eagle photo/ Michael Mulvey College Station emergency equipment blocks Harvey Road while CS paramedic Darryl Smith detours traffic onto Stallings Drive after a gas line ruptured between Harvey Road and the Woodstock Condominiums.

However, he said the situation never posed a threat to the public because natu- ral gas is lighter than air and dis- sipates into the atmosphere. Regardless, the crew worked quickly to repair the damage. The crew began by digging out around the pipe to expose the damage, then used two large Wednesday, June 16, 1993 metal clamps to cover the crack. The Eagle "It's a permanent repair," Thigpen said of the clamps. "It's just as safe or safer than the pipe itself."

Some kids played basketball at Sadie Thomas Park while others tried to out- do the rain by soaking one another with squirt guns. There were a parade, pic- nic lunches and long conversations among friends. College Station's black community celebrated at the Lincoln Center Satur- day night and was scheduled to hear College Station native Andrew White, director of quality control for Johnson & Johnson in Arlington, talk about "The Generation that Has Forgotten." In Bryan about 100 people joined together under the Sadie Thomas Park pavilion and heard from a local educa- tor the reasons they had to celebrate. Kemp Elementary School Principal Greg Travillion said President Abra- ham Lincoln's Emancipation Procla- mation fheed all slaves Jan. 1, 1863, but word didn't reach Texas until June 19, 1865. Since then, black Texans have cele- brated the date, known as Juneteenth, as their independence day. Black Texans endured 29 more months of slavery than blacks in other states. Economics could have played a part in the poor communication net- work that kept news of emancipation out of Texas. Texas had been a rich state, but the North stripped the state of its wealth, and Texas faced the loss of its labor force shortly before the cotton harvest. Travillion said he lived in Alabama and Mississippi before moving to Texas six years ago, and it wasn't until six years ago he understood the signifi- cance of Juneteenth. "You have a right to have a great time today," he told the audience. "I look at myself, coming from Mississip- pi, and see I just have the privilege of having a good time." Travillion urged the audience always to remember the significance of Juneteenth, but not to dwell en the problems that existed then and now. Instead, he said, black Texans must do what they can to improve their futures and ensure peace in their communities. "We have to take it upon ourselves to do what's best in our little corner of the world," he said. "We all have to live and work here, people of all colors and all races. Let us remember communica- tion is a big part of our existence."

The Bryan City Council will consider the rate increase at a 6 p.m. meeting today. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in the council chambers of the Bryan Municipal Building, 300 S. Texas Ave. The College Station City Coun- cil will consider the increase request Thursday at 7 p.m. at 1101 Texas Ave. Lone Star initially requested an increase in January for both Bryan and College Station resi- dents and businesses that would total about $1.2 million annually. The cities hired Reed -Stowe & Co. to review and to analyze the request; based on the review and negotiations with Lone Star, the request was reduced to $800,000. Of the $800,000, $58,768 would come from service charge in- creases and $741,232 from rate in. creases. About $340,000 of that $800,000 would come from College Station, the rest from Bryan. - If approved, College Station res- idential rates would increase from a flat rate of $6.50 a month during the winter and $4.50 a month during the summer to $8 a month. Commercial rates would increase from $10.50 a month dur- ing the winter and $6.50 a month during the summer to $14 a month. Rates for Bryan were not im- mediately available. College Station and Bryan city staff members have recom- mended approval of the increase.

Of the $5.85 million, $3.7 million is being issued to extend and improve the city's existing sanitary sewer system and $1 million is to extend and improve the electric light and power system. The amount for electric projects was increased from the $600,000 originally proposed. The remaining $1.15 million is for advance refunding of outstanding bonds and for the costs of issuing the bonds. The council also approved the ad- vance refunding of a little more than $1 million in 1985 bonds, which is es- timated to save the city about $178,000 over the next seven years or about $25,000 a year.

Bernstein, has purchased the Post Oak Square Shopping Center in College Station, Texas, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor- poration. The 118,220 square foot shop- ping center, located adjacent to Post Oak Mall at Harvey Road and State Highway 6 Bypass, is being completely renovated and re- tenanted with a 31,958 square foot national anchor Toys R Us and 32,040 square foot Hobby Lobby arts and crafts store. Daniel Jay Holland and Ken Delery of Grubb & Ellis Company negotiated the transaction be- tween Amresco Management, Inc. and Bernstein Investments. The closing was held at Common- wealth Land Title Company with Marvin Zindler Jr. Built in 1982 as a grocery an- chored neighborhood center, Post Oak Square's occupancy had dwindled to 30 percent when fore- closed by NCNB Texas National Bank in 1991. Cavender's Boot City remained the center's lone anchor. Recognizing that national and regional retailers are looking more to secondary markets, such as the Bryan- College Station area for expansion, Post Oak Square's size and proximity to the area's regional mall made it an attrac- tive re- leasing opportunity, ac- cording to Bernstein. Bernstein's renovation of the property will include demolition of nearly a third of the property to make way for development of the Paramus, N.J., based Toys R Us building. Hobby Lobby, a regional arts and crafts retailer based in Oklahoma City, Okla., will oc- cupy the former grocery space. Both retailers are new to the Bryan- College Station market. A vacant fast food building in front of the center has been demo- lished to provide more visibility, and a central entrance to the center has been cut to provide better traffic flow and create iden- tity. The facade of the building is being changed to give the prop- erty a more contemporary look. Once renovated, the new Post Oak Square will total 140,000 square feet. Adam Soffar of Bern=• stein Investments will handle the leasing. Bernstein Investments is a Houston -based shopping center developer and investor specializ- ing in renovating and re- leasing older shopping centers.

Judy Cook, an area resident, said she feared a convenience store would open on the location and would possibly sell alcoholic beverages. That would be inap- propriate, she said, because the property is close to the elemen- tary and to College Station Junior High School. Besides, she said, properties on Wellborn Road and on Rio Grande that are zoned commercial are within a half-mile of the area in question. The council also approved utili- ty and development agreements with Toys "R" Us — Nytex, Inc. and Post Oak Square Ltd. and a request by College Station Noon Lions Club to waive fees and police and fire costs for a July 4 community celebration at Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater. College Station's average com- mercial bill before the increase, $217.04, was the lowest of the group and the residential bill, $26.10, was higher only than Waco's $26.03. College Station's new average commercial bill, $234.11, was still the lowest of the group and the residential bill, $26.65, was higher only than the city's former rate, Waco's and Abilene's $26.58. Gary Thigpen, district manager for Lone Star Gas, said College Station is still in the lower end of the more than 500 communities the company serves statewide. In Thursday's 20- minute meet- ing, the council also rezoned a 2 -acre lot in Westchester Park from commercial to single - family residential. The property, boun- Please see GAS, page A7 CS Council grants gas rate increase By KELLI LEVEY Eagle staff write For the first time in eight years, College Station residents will see higher rates on their Lone Star Gas bills. The College Station City Coun- cil unanimously granted a rate increase Thursday that will cost the city's residents an additional $340,000 a year. The increases will go into effect Feb. 24, 1994. Residential rates will increase from seasonal rates of $6.50 a month during the winter and $4.50 a month during the summer to a flat $8 a month. Commercial rates will increase from $10.50 a month during the winter and $6.50 a month during the summer to $14 a month. The Bryan City Council ap- proved a similar request Tuesday night. Lone Star expects a revenue in- crease of more than $803,105 — or 11.79 percent — from the cities' rate hikes. About $340,000 will come from College Station, the rest from Bryan. Service charges from both cit- ies will generate about $59,000, and rate increases will generate about $741,000. In January, Lone Star re- quested a combined increase for Bryan and College Station resi- dents and businesses that would total about $1.2 million annually. The cities hired Reed -Stowe & Co. to review and analyze the request and based on the review and ne- gotiations with Lone Star, trim- med the increase to $800,000 a year. During Wednesday's council workshop, Councilman Hub Ken - nady requested a comparison of average residential and commer- cial bills in surrounding simi- larly -sized communities.

The national toy store will be one of two new features of the renovated Post Oak Square Shop- ping Center adjacent to the mall at Harvey Road and Texas 6. Houston -based Bernstein In- vestments, which recently bought Post Oak Square, plans to reno- vate the shopping center and expand it from 118,220 to 140,000 square feet. Almost a third of the property will be demolished and renovated to house the 31,958- square-foot Toys 'R Us store. A 32,040- square -foot Hobby Lobby arts and crafts store will open in the site of a former grocery store. Post Oak Square officials have already signed an agreement for access between their center and the mall. Though no specific plans have been drawn for a driveway, it most likely would be built behind the existing Caven- der's Boot City location. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the final plat for the project in mid - April. The city council approved it a month later on the condition that Toys 'R Us enter into a de- velopment agreement with the city to obtain cross access be- tween Post Oak Square and Post Oak Mall. City council members dis- cussed the possibility of a drive- way between the new store and the mall last Wednesday, while discussing proposed development and utility agreements between the toy store and the Post Oak Square. "The only way the city could force that [joint access agree- ment] would be to condemn that portion and make it a public joint access rather than a private joint access," said Roxanne Nemcik, assistant city attorney. "Post Oak Square already dedicated their portion, it's just the mall that's not agreeing to it." Nemcik said in doing so, the city would be forced to bear the cost of condemning the property and buying the land. Mall General Manager Ann Kyle said any agreement would have to be reached with manage- ment of the mall and of each de- partment store within the mall. She said the decision to reject the agreement was made by rep- resentatives of CBL & Associates, Inc. in Chatanooga, Tenn., which owns, developed and manages the mall. "I guess if they were seriously going to do it, they'd have to pre- sent some kind of drawings and information about how it would affect the existing traffic pat- terns," Kyle said. "And we'd have to answer questions like — would we need additional parking — that sort of thing. "[The city] asked them about a year ago and they asked them as recently as three months ago and they said no, so I doubt they're go- ing to change their minds." City Manager Ron Ragland ad- vised the council to wait before taking any action. "They might decide to open that up so the Toys 'R Us traffic can go over to the mall," Ragland said. Councilman Hub Kennady said any further discussion of the project should occur in closed session. Wednesday, June 30, 1993 The Eagle • • G CS firefighters promoted Several College Station firefighters received promotions last week. An official with the fire department said the promotions included posi- tions that opened up over the past three years. She said some of the delay was due to recent reorganization efforts within the department. Lt. Thomas Goehl, 33, was promoted to battalion chief. He has been with the department for almost 15 years. Firefighter Rodney O'Connor, 44, was promoted to lieutenant from ap- paratus operator. He has been with the department for 21 years. Firefighter Tom Reed, 40, was pro- moted to apparatus operator.

Recent guidelines of the Federal Aviation Administration require Easterwood to have on -site emergency and fire equipment. College Station provides fire service to the A &M cam- pus, including the airport, but is not remunerated by the university. Cur- rently, Easterwood is served primarily by the Central Fire Station located on Texas and Gilcrest avenues on the east 'side of the A&M campus. A &M owns the airport, but receives financial assistance from the cities of )3ryan and College Station and Brazos County. A &M officials are asking Col- lege Station to build a fire station at the airport to meet the FAA require- ments. A fire station there also could ,'serve the western parts of the city. ` A third fire station is in the design stages for the Shenandoah subdivision jo service the developing area south of town. Some consideration has been .given to moving the Central Fire Sta- xion to the area of the Wolf Pen Creek ;corridor to provide faster response "times to many parts of the city. Coun- : it members may look at the possi- tility of relocating Fire Station No. 2, .now on Rio Grande Street near FM X818, to Easterwood. Relocating the @two existing fire stations and adding ;the third south of town would give fire trucks approximately equal response :time to every part of the city. Wednesday, July 7, 1993 The Eagle 0 CS to seek A &M's help in fire rescue service at airport By ROBERT C. BORDEN Eagle staff writer Texas A &M officials will be asked to give the city of College Station a proposal concerning crash and fire rescue service to university -owned Easterwood Airport. College Station City Council members listened Wednesday to various proposals for such service, most of which center around relocating the city's present Fire Station No. 2 from Rio Grande Drive to the airport. They will make a formal request for an A &M proposal when they meet at 7 p.m. today at city hall. Under new Federal Aviation Adminis- tration regulations, the airport must have emergency service and certified emergency personnel available to reach the middle of any active runway within 3 minutes. Although the airport does have an old emergency fire vehicle on site, it is operated by student workers and part- time employees, many of whom are off - duty College Station firefighters. College Station Fire Chief William Kennedy said it would be difficult to re- quire students to take the almost 100 hours of specialized training needed to be certified. Fourteen city firefighters already are certified. Officials said that locating a city fire station at the airport in a joint venture would allow the university to meet the federal requirements and would help in the city's relocation of fire stations to bet- Cost of a new station and necessary equipment at Easterwood is estimated at some $1.34 million. Various proposals by A &M and city staff were presented at Wednesday's council workshop on how to fund a new station: ■ College Station would pick up the entire cost, which would require a tax in- crease of about 3.5 cents per $100 assessed valuation. This is the least desirable op- tion according to Mayor Larry Ringer. ■ A &M would pay for the cost of build- ing and equipping the crash/fire rescue portion of a new station and College Sta- tion would pay for the remaining portion of the cost, which would necessitate about a 0.5 cent tax hike. ■ A &M would construct and operate a joint crash/fire rescue -basic fire service station at no cost to the city, thus saving College Station the $810,000 in annual operating costs for Station 2, which would be closed. Although this option is unlikely, it could save city taxpayers some 6.75 cents per $100 valuation on their tax rate. ■ A &M would privatize fire service, leaving College Station to cover only the city and none of the A &M campus. ■ Since Easterwood serves the entire area, other governmental entities, such as Bryan, Brazos County and surround- ing communities and counties would be asked to contribute to the cost of the emergency service at Easterwood. In- creased emergency protection would al- low larger aircraft to land at Easterwood on a regular basis, creating an economic boost for the entire area, Kennedy said. ter serve the entire community. Since 1971, College Station has pro- vided fire and ambulance service to A &M at no charge to the university. One of the areas council members want the uni- versity to look at is possible compensa- tion for this service. City officials esti- mate cost of the service to A &M is $2.2 million annually, or 11 percent of the city's general operating fund budget. Cost of a new station and necessary equipment at Easterwood is estimated at some $1.34 million. About $825,000 of that would be for the crash/fire rescue opera- tions needed for the airport and the re- maining $510,000 for basic city emer- gency service. An FAA grant could pay 90 percent of the crash /fire rescue construc- tion and equipment cost. Annual operat- ing costs are estimated at $393,000 for crash /fire rescue for the airport and $810,000 for the basic city service. The city would transfer the $810,000 cost from a closed Station 2 if it is relocated to the airport.

Sabine Kuenzel Staff Planner 07 -08 -93 Friday, July 9, 1993 Local /State Page Ag Council talks new fees, higher fees By ROBERT C. BORDEN Eagle staff writer College Station City Council members have started looking at the cost of provid- ing various city services with an eye toward implementing some new fees and raising others as a way to help fund oper- ations in the future. Under the cost of service concept, peo- ple who use city facilities or personnel are expected to pay for that service. Some fees already exist, but may need to be raised to cover the actual cost of service, and there are other fees to be considered, council members agreed. Council members instructed the city staff Thursday to work on a proposed fee structure to help pay for three new em- ployees for the development services de- partment, which handles such areas as zoning requests, land plats, building in- spections. At Wednesday's council workshop, City Manager Ron Ragland said, "If we don't look at impact fees and assessments we will have to look at raising taxes." Such a measure is something council members are reluctant to do. The city basically has several ways to raise money to pay for services, includ- ing sales taxes, outside income such as federal monies, property taxes and fees and assessments. The city has little con- trol over income from the 1 percent city sales tax other than to encourage busi- ness development and Ragland said the prospect for increased federal assistance doesn't look good. Although College Station has one of the lowest property taxes of comparable cit- ies in the state at slightly more than 41 cents per $100 assessed valuation, com- bined taxes for city residents are high be- cause of high school taxes. Any signifi- cant increase in the city's property tax would not be popular, council members agreed. "That means we need to take a hard look at fees and assessments," Ragland said. Council members discussed cost of providing service such as performed by the development staff, which often spends hours on projects for which the city receives little or no remuneration. According to staff projections, an in- crease in existing fees and addition of some new fees would pay almost $24,000 of the $81,000 to be spent to hire the three new employees. New charges could in- clude site plan review fees and building code appeal fees, while the cost for re- questing rezoning, preliminary and final plats and conditional use permits could be raised, according to a draft report pre- sented to the council on Wednesday. Another $56,500 could come from rais- ing and adding fees charged to the Com- munity Development Block Grant pro- gram. City officials say the three additional workers are needed to maintain the level of customer service residents have come to expect. Although the development staff Is handling a work load equal to what it did in 1983 at the height of the growth spurt, it is four workers under the staff size at that time. The vote to hire the three employees now passed 5.1, with Councilman Hub Kennady dissenting because he wanted a new fee structure in place before they were hired and felt the decision should be made during the regular budget process later this summer. Councilman Vernon Schneider was absent. "I applaud the cost of service concept. That's the big picture," Kennady said. On Wednesday, council member Nancy Crouch also said she supports the cost of service idea to a point, noting that her mother who lives in Duncanville is ex- pected to pay $15 every time she takes part in a group activity in a facility built by the city of Dallas. "I wouldn't want to see us start charg- ing to use our parks," Crouch said. In other business, council members conducted two public hearings, including one to rezone four tracts of land owned by Crouch and her husband on Cooner Street at Jane Street to commercial use. Some of the parcels may be sold to add to a commercial tract at Texas Avenue and Cooner Street that will be the site of a new Super 8 Motel. Crouch did not take part in the hearing or the vote. The re- zoning passed 5-0. ]Local/State Page A9 CS major crime rate climbs 16.5 percent. By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer Sharp increases in burglaries, vehicle thefts and aggravated assaults helped push major crime in College Station up more than 16 percent in the first six months of this year. Major crimes rose 16.5 percent from 1,121 in the first half of 1992 to 1,306 as of June 30, according to police statistics. Major crimes include homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, theft, vehi- cle theft and burglary. If the trend continues — and police think it will — 1993 will be the first year since 1988 that College Station has posted an increase in crime. In 1988, 3,730 major crimes were reported. Police spokesman Lt. Wayne Onstott said crime is cyclical and that it was in- evitable that it would increase. "We figured eventually they would go up because they'd been going down so long — four, five years," Onstott said. Onstott also said larger numbers of students and citizens living in the city helped push crime up. Although police expect the trend to continue rising, they also expect it to taper off toward the end of the year be- cause crime tends to slow as the weather cools. "It might not be as high as it is here, but it will be higher than last year," he said. College Station citizens reported 2,445 major crimes in 1992, down 7 percent from the 2,627 reported in 1991. As a whole, property crimes showed the largest increases. Burglaries rose 44.78 percent from 335 in the first half of 1992 to 485 so far this year. Those figures include 147 habitation burglaries, 79 building burglaries and 258 vehicle burg- laries — all up significantly from last year. Only burglaries of coin operated machines fell, down from 23 in the first six months of last year to just one so far this year. Vehicle thefts rose 30.16 percent, with 82 cars stolen as of June 30. That's up from 63 in the same period last year. On- stott said most are the work of joyriding teens. "We're finding a lot of these cars on the side of the road in Bryan and College Sta- tion," he said. In most cases, thieves found the vehi- cles unlocked or thieves broke a window and shattered the steering column to start the car, he said. General Motors cars and all varieties of pickups are most popular, he said. Aggravated assaults rose 54.17 percent from 24 last year to 37 so far this year. Most are the result of domestic quarrels and fights among intoxicated bar patrons, Onstott said.

Thusday, July 20, 1993 The Eagle CS campaign most costly By TANYA SASSER I Eagle staff writer College Station Councilman David Hickson dished out almost $8,300 for re- cent campaign expenditures, making him the biggest spender for the latest re- porting period. City council candidates in Bryan and College Station filed financial reports on Thursday for the period April 22 through June 30, which included payments and contributions for the May i general elec- tion and the June 5 runoff. The bulk of Hickson's money, $5,624.93, was spent on advertising with The Mat- thews Group. Hickson reported receiving $824 from nine different contributors. Bryan Mayor Marvin Tate was the top fund - raiser, accumulating $1,555 in dona- tions. He was the third biggest spender, reporting $1,975 in expenditures. The only candidate coming close to Hickson in expenditures was Bryan City Councilman William Thornton, who spent $2,775 and received $700 in contri- butions. Thornton spent almost $2,000 of that with The Matthews Group. He beat out Darrell Grear for Place 3. Tate's opponent, Rudy Schultz, wasn't far behind Tate, spending about $1,850 and receiving $1,314 in Contributions. Daniel Galvin, former Bryan city council candidate, received $1,450 in con- tributions. Galvin loaned his campaign $1,200 and reported expenditures of $1,634. Galvin lost to Lonnie Stabler in a runoff for Place 5. C. Patrick Meese, who competed with Galvin and Stabler for Place 5 in the gen- eral election, spent $1,062 and racked up about $1,600 in contributions. Bryan City Councilman Kenny Mal- lard, who ran unopposed, spent about $850 and raised $225 in contributions.

In both cities, a group of white men and a woman were reported to have ap- proached and robbed men as they sat in their vehicles. Police were investigating any possible connection between the robberies. A man leaving the LULAC Ballroom, 3600 Sandy Point Road in Bryan, was robbed just after 11 p.m. Saturday after answering a tap on his car window, police said. The victim told police a man pointed a gun through the open window and de- manded the victim's wallet. The gunman, a white man, fled with the victim's wal- let. The simple description of the gunman and his companions, one white man and a white woman, matched a similar inci- dent hours later in College Station, police said. A College Station man waiting in his truck at the stoplight at Wellborn Road and University Drive at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday was startled by a white man with a gun, said police. The gunman opened the door to the truck, aimed his handgun at the driver's neck and demanded the driver's wallet. The driver obliged and the gunman got away with about $300 in cash, police re- ported. Several other white men and a white woman stood near the victim's truck dur- Monday, August 2, 1993 The Eagle ing the robbery, police said. In an apparently unrelated incident at about 6 a.m. Saturday in College Station, a man was robbed as he locked his car, parked outside his residence in the 2500 block of Longmire Drive. The victim told police he noticed a man's reflection in the window of his car. The man he saw in the reflection then grabbed the victim and pointed a gun at him. The robber demanded the victim's wallet then ran away on foot, police said. `That robber was described as a black man about 5 feet 7 inches and 200 pounds. He was clean shaven and had short hair. He. was last seen wearing a dark T -shirt and long jeans. College Station police were investigat- ing an unrelated robbery that took place at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday night outside a convenience store in the 300 block of George Bush Drive. A 25- year -old woman was walking away from the store with her 5- year -old daughter when they were confronted by a masked teenager. When the woman re- fused to give up her wallet, the teen grabbed for it and the two struggled. The robber managed to get the woman's keys, then ran away on foot, police reported. He was described as a Hispanic youth, about 5 feet tall with a slim build. His face was partially covered by a green bandana. He was last seen wearing a baseball cap, white T -shirt and dark shorts, police said. Bryan police also reported another ag- gravated robbery that occurred just after 6 a.m. Sunday. Details surrounding the incident were not available late Sunday. • College Statimo SORT ims not limA TV counterpa By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer Television and movies tend to glam- orize SWAT teams, showing officers in body armor kicking down doors and rushing headlong, guns blazing, into harm's way to arrest the bad guys. In reality, police tactical teams such as College Station's Special Operations Re- sponse Team are much more sedate than their counterparts on Miami Vice or Ro- boCop. Since SORT's inception Jan. 1, 1988, no one — including officers, suspects or by- standers — has ever been injured and SORT officer has ever fired his weapon. "Everybody thinks of SWAT teams as gung -ho, go in and bust heads," said Dan Severn, 37, leader of the College Station police Special Operations Response Team. "That's the last thing we want to do. "We consider a successful operation one where no one gets hurt — good guy, bad guy or otherwise." Police organized SORT after seeing a need for a specialized unit trained to handle large emergencies. That point was driven home on Oct. 22, 1986, when three men took three people hostage during an armed robbery at a convenience store on Southwest Park- way. Police injured two robbers and killed the third. "I knew that, with the town growing, so too would crime and we wouldn't want to get caught without a response team that could respond to any emergency," said Det. John Orozco, 37, a team member who in November 1986 wrote a proposal for the unit. The six team members train together at least eight hours monthly and can handle most any emergency — hostages, snipers, riots and the like. "It is a high -risk job," Severn, a 14 -year veteran, said. "We're expected to take a few more chances. "The most common thing we've done are high -risk arrests and search war- rants." Just 10 officers have served with the unit; such stability has allowed the offi- cers to refine their skills, Severn said. Each man knows his task and knows he can depend upon his teammates to do n 9 theirs, he said. "It's a tight unit," Orozco, a 15 -year veteran said. Each team member knows what the others will do in any given situation; a nod or a wink can speak volumes. "Sometimes we can just look at each other and know what to do," he said. "There's less verbal communication be- cause we know what the other guy is go- ing to do. It's like running a play in bas- ketball or football." Team members are hesitant to discuss specific operations and do not talk much about their training. SORT works closely with local narcotics agents, sheriffs de- puties and Bryan police, whom they helped to arrest several drug suspects in March. The team was on hand but not needed in May 1992 when a Navasota man killed his wife and mother -in -law and kept his sons hostage while holding authorities at bay for four hours. They also helped provide security at a recent Ku Klux Klan rally. The six men are trained in such di- verse fields as rappelling, surveillance and counterintelligence work and explo- sive entries — using exploding charges to open doors or clear obstructions. Most officers also have specialties; Orozco, for example is a weaponless combat expert, skilled in self-defense and martial arts. Applicants must have two years expe- rience with the department and must pass several physical tests, a psychologi- cal examination and a background check before being interviewed by a board of their peers, Severn said. The chief de- cides which applicants join the team. The six team members, all "family men," have an average of 9.25 years expe- rience in policework and are an average of 32 years old, Severn said. Each team member also holds other jobs within the department; Severn, for example, is in charge of research and planning, Orozco is a detective. Each volunteers for SORT and receives no ad- ditional pay or other rewards, but the officers don't mind the extra work. "Someone's got to do it," Orozco said. "I feel that, by being part of the team, I'm giving my best to the city and the de- partment." !001� The City of College Station is accepting applications for the C following position: Recycling Coordinator in the Public Services Department Duties include administering current curbside recycling collection program, and developing recycling collections for multi - family and large commercial locations.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77840 EOUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Sunday, August 8, 1993 The Eagle Stabbing suspect shot after threatening CS police officer By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer A crime suspect survived being shot as many as five times by a College Station police officer Sat- urday after he threatened to kill officers and refused to drop his knife, police and witnesses said. The 22- year -old man was in sta- ble condition Saturday night at Brazos Valley Medical Center. Police suspect he stabbed a 19- year -old man several times ear- lier Saturday morning. Doctors released the stabbing victim Saturday; the officer was not injured. Police Lt. Mike Mathews refused to identify anyone involved, including the officer. No arrests had been made Sat- urday night. Police are preparing to file attempted capital murder and aggravated assault charges against the man. The shooting occurred just be- fore 4 a.m. outside trailer No. 89 at Oak Forest Mobile Home Park, 301 Krenek Tap Road — just one block north of the College Station Police Department. Many park residents said they slept through the gunfire; others had not heard the news at all. Res- idents of trailer No. 89 declined to comment. Mathews said investigators had few details about what led up to the stabbing. "There are several different stories, but there was an argu- ment and the victim was stab. bed," he said. The victim escaped to a friend's trailer and called 911 at about 3:39 a.m. Police found the suspect in No. 89 armed with a knife. Officers told him to come out; he respon- ded with obscenities and threats, Mathews said. Moments later, the armed man left his trailer and approached an officer, threatening several times to kill him, Mathews said. The officer ordered him to stop and drop his knife; when he re- fused, an officer fired his depart- ment -issue Glock .40- caliber se- miautomatic pistol, Mathews said. A .40- caliber bullet is about four - tenths of an inch in diameter. Three park residents said the suspect landed face up under a large pine tree in the front yard of the trailer. Mathews refused to say how many shots were fired or where the suspect was hit. Three park residents reported hearing multi- Please see SUSPECT, page A4 Sunday, August 8, 1993 The Eagle • Suspect From Al ple shots. "That's all I heard — pow, pow, pow, pow, pow," said a 20- year -old A &M student. "At least five." The officer who fired the shots will remain on administrative leave with pay pending the re suits of criminal and administra tive investigations into the shoot ing, Mathews said. It is the first time since 1986 a College Station officer has fired a weapon in the line of duty. Two officers shot and killed one suspect and injured two others 4tirifig a robbery at a convenience store on Southwest Parkway on Oct. 22,1986. Police say CS Of ficer acted in selfodefense By KATY HALL Eagle staff writer A College Station police officer was acting in self- defense when he fired five shots at a crime sus- pect earlier this week, police said Tuesday. Officer Mike Denham, with the city for less than nine months, was one of several officers re- sponding to a report of a stabbing in the Oak Forest Mobile Home Park, 301 Krenek Tap Road, just after 3:30 a.m. Saturday. The sus- pect, armed with a knife, charged the officer, police said. "The guy (crime suspect) was running at him (Denham) with a knife trying to kill him," College Station police Lt. Wayne Onstott said. "What else could he do ?" Denham fired five times in rapid succession as the suspect, ignoring the officer's order to stop and drop the knife, continued toward him. Despite several gunshot wounds to his right arm and back, it took several officers to restrain the 5- foot -6, 240 -pound suspect. The suspect continued threaten- ing the officers during the strug- gle, police reported. Although the preliminary in- vestigation into the shooting in- dicated Denham shot the suspect in self- defense, the officer was placed on administrative leave with pay until the internal in- vestigation is complete, Onstott said. The shift is department policy, he said. The shooting victim, a 22 -year- old resident of the mobile home park, was taken to Brazos Valley Medical Center, were he under- went surgery. He remained in stable condition in the hospital Tuesday. Spokeswoman Kathy Jinkins said he will probably stay in the hospital for several more days be- fore being handed over to police. Police on Monday obtained warrants charging him with ag- gravated assault and attempted capital murder of a police officer, Onstott said.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 TO: ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: On or about September 7, 1993, The City of College Station, Texas will request the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to release Federal funds under the HOME Investment Partnership Act of 1990, to be used for the following projects: Project Name: Optional Relocation Program Housing Rehabilitation Administration HOME Program Contract Number: 532098 Description: Rehabilitation of substandard owner - occupied units; relocation assistance; adminstration of the HOME Program. Location: City -wide Estimated Cost: $500,000 FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT It has been determined that such a request of release of funds will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and accordingly the City of College Station has decided not to prepare an En- vironmental Impact Statement under the National Envir- onmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91 -190). The reason for such a decision not to prepare such a Statement based upon the fact that all environmental concerns could either be minimized or mitigated and proposed projects will have a beneficial impact on service delivery factors, such as community appearance and living conditions. An Environmental Review Record respecting the pro- posed projects has been made by the City of College' Station which documents the environmental review of the projects and more fully sets forth the reasons why such a Statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is on file at the Community Development Office, 1101 Texas Avenue and is available for public examina- tion and copying upon request between the hours of 8:00 AM -12:00 and 1:00 PM -5:00 PM, Monday through Fri- day. No further environmental review of such projects is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of Federal funds. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON FUNDING All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration by the City of College Station to the above mentioned address. All comments should be received on or before September 4, 1993. All such com- ments received will be considered and the City will not request the release of Federal funds or take any adminis- trative action on the proposed project prior to September 4, 1993. RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of College Station will undertake the projects described above with HOME program funds from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs under the HOME Investment Partnership Act of 1990. OBJECTIONS TO HUD RELEASE OF FUNDS The Texas Department of Housing and Community Af- fairs will accept an objection to its apporval only if it is on one of the following basis: (1) that the certification was not in fact executed by the certifying officer or other offi- cer of applicant approved by HUD; or (2) that the appli- cant's Environmental Review Record for the project indi- cated omission of a required decision funding or step ap- plicable to the project in the review process; (3) other specific grounds in HUD regulations 24 CFR Part 58.75. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accor- dance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and may be addressed to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, P.O.

Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 8.20 -93 `Eli'ah' one g Texas Avenue landmark heading for Jerusalem By KARA BOUNDS Eagle staff writer A living landmark on Texas Avenue will vanish today. Francis Euel Savage II — popularly known as "Elijah" — is packing up his crosses and heading to Jerusalem. But College Station is only loaning one of its most visible and talked -about resi- dents to Israel. Savage said he hopes to return soon after Christmas, bringing with him at least one Israeli who's will- ing to work with him on a project to "re- home" the homeless. "Hopefully, the idea will be well - received there," he said. For almost three months, Savage has been selling custom -made wooden cros- ses to pay for a round -trip airline ticket to Jerusalem. Savage — who sold every- thing except his car to help the poor — said God finally told him to spend 80 days selling the crosses in College Station, then to move on to other towns. Thursday marked day number 80, and Savage was preparing to leave town the next morning. But when he went to his post office box, he found what he says was a blessing from God: a belated Christmas check from his mother, which gave him the remaining funds he needed to buy the $1,500 ticket. While his mother's check and some other funds were received through out- side donations, Savage said that most of the cost of the ticket was paid for through the sale of about 100 crosses, which sold for around $12 each. Savage, a member of the Texas A &M Class of '67, also holds a master's of busi- ness administration degree from the University of Dallas. Ten years ago, he experienced a "spiritual communica- tion" with God, although it wasn't by way of an audible voice, he said. Savage left his family and restaurant business and moved to Israel for 10 "Hopefully, the idea will be well - received there." FRANCIS EUEL SAVAGE II College Station resident months, where he studied scriptures and helped distribute wheat that he collected along with a friend. Along the way, he also sold everything he owned to help the homeless. When he returned, he moved to College Station and supported himself primarily by painting addresses on curbs. After visiting a few more Texas towns, Savage hopes to leave for Jerusalem on Oct. 5, arriving 10 years to the day after his first trip there. He will stay with a friend he met on his first trip, and will concentrate on seeking God's guidance. "First and foremost, I need to learn more precisely from God what's next for me — what he wants me to do next — through the study of Scripture on the Mount of Olives," he said. Once God tells him that, the rest will fall into place, he said. What Savage envisions doing in Israel is inviting corporations to come to Texas and help with his project of building por- table homeless shelters. This project would not only benefit the homeless, he said, but would bring Jews and Chris- tians together. The shelter would be created out of re- cycled materials, and would include a three -year supply of food from Israeli and Texas companies. The "workings" inside would also be made in Israel. And for those wondering ... His car, an "artistic rendition of the Chariot of Fire of Elijah," a Jewish pro- phet, will await his return in his former hometown of Lubbock. Friday, August 20, 1993 The Eagle Friday, August 20, 1993 Local /State Company moving its headquarters to College Station By JOE TOLAND Eagle staff writer GSC Holding Co. will relocate its cor- porate office from Houston to College Sta- tion, officials said Thursday. The transfer will be complete by the first of September, said Ford Taylor, who operates C.C. Creations, a division of GSC Holding. "In this particular case, the actual number of people who are coming here is two," Taylor said. "The corporate office will have more than that, but we will be promoting others from within." GSC Holding is a production company that manufactures, screens and distrib- utes T- shirts. The company's printing division is C.C. Creations /Red Oak Sportswear in College Station. A blank T -shirt division has operations in Houston, Dallas and At- lanta. A cut - and -sew division is in Ennis. The decision to move corporate head- quarters to College Station created some controversy within the company, Taylor said, but the plan was to bring the print- ing and T -shirt distribution divisions together, Taylor said. "We've had some changes in philoso- phy in the last 12 months in just where our corporation is headed and how we want to do business," Taylor said. The decision to move headquarters to College Station rather than staying in Houston was a relatively easy one to make, Taylor said. "C.C. Creations has experienced much growth in the last 11 years and a lot of it is because of the community we're in," Taylor said. "A lot of it is also because of what the community has done for us." C.C. Creations has grown rapidly in re- cent months. It targeted a work force of 70 p' employees by the end of this year and 140 employees by 1997. However, by P.:ay, 150 employees were working at C.C. Creations, 112 Holleman Dr., with the projected 1993 sales to top $20 million. Ford and his wife Sandra Taylor pur- chased C.C. Creations in downtown Bryan in 1982. "It was basically a bankrupt business when I and my wife started; it," Taylor said. "And that first year, they had done $60,000 in sales. This year the operation will do between $22 and $25 million and with our projections, we would like to double that in the next 24 months. So we are getting aggressive." C.C. Creations was incorporated in; 1990 and merged with GSC Holding a year; later. C.C. Creations was presented the 1993; Small Business Achievement Award in April from the National Federation of In. dependent Business. The annual award is given to a small business that best dem- onstrates its commitment to job creation in Bryan- College Station and the state of Texas. 125 Legal N ADVEgTISEMENT FOR BIDS Renovation to an Existing Facility, Thom ea o PoC o Fle9e Co ver, Y Station, Texas Sealed proposals addressed to the College Station Parks and Recreation Department, will Parke received Off ce Central 1000 Kren k Tap Road, College Station, Texas, until 2'.00 pm, Thurs day, 26, August 19993, for furnishing all necessary ma- terials, machinery, equip- ment, superintendence and labor for the j1R n atio o f the Thomas Pool Cover" and will be publicly opened and read aloud.

The workshop will begin at 4 p.m. in the city council chamber at College Sta- tion City Hall. The public hearing will be part of the council's regular meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, also in the council cham- ber. The proposed budget is about $1.99 mil- lion, or 3.1 percent, larger than the cur- rent $64.43 million budget, said Charles Cryan, the city's assistant finance direc- tor. "Most of the increase is going to be in salaries, merit -based increases," Cryan said. The city budgeted $19.31 million for sa- laries and benefits this year and city staf- fers propose budgeting $20.4 million for the next fiscal year. To fund the budget, city staffers are proposing that the property tax rate re- main at 41.25 cents per $100 property va- luation, Cryan said. That rate is 1.9 per- cent above the effective tax rate of 40.49 cents per $100 valuation, Cryan said. The effective tax rate is the rate that, using current property values, will gen- erate the same tax revenue as the pre- vious tax rate. The effective rate in Col- lege Station dropped in part because property values in the city increased by about $100 million, to $1.27 billion this year, according to the Brazos County Ap- praisal District's certified tax roles. • • 125 Legal Notices NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The College Station City Council will hold a public hearing to consider an ordin- ance amendment pertaining to sexually oriented enter- prises.

This law grants broadcasters, such as KBTX, the right to negotiate a re- transmission con- sent contract with the cable operators, such as TCA. There are two methods , provided for in this law, by which the broadcasters (KBTX) can choose to have their signals re- transmit- ted by the cable system( MUST CARRY OPTION This method allows the broadcaster (hereafter referred to as KBTX) the right to require the cable operator (hereafter referred to as TCA) to continue to carry their signal on the cable channel of their choice. or RE- TRANSMISSION CONSENT OPTION Sun The This method allows KBTX and TCA to negotiate the contractual arrangements for re- trans- mission of KBTX's signal. The cities of Bryan and College Station have been notified by both parties that the second option has been selected by KBTX. The federal law requires TCA to receive a written consent or contract from KBTX prior to October 6, 1993. Without this signed agreement, federal law does not allow TCA to carry KBTX's signal over the cable system. THE CITIES HAVE NO AUTHORITY IN THIS MATTER This notice is issued by the cities of Bryan and College Station in an effort to inform the residents of the community that local government control is pre - empted, in this situation, by the federal law (FCC). The cities have met with both parties to encourage them to settle t his matter with the best interest of the whole community in mind. Once again, we would like to state that the cities have no authority in this matter due to changes in federal law.

His new position, created recently by the College Station's Public Utilities De- partment, consoli- dates the electrical and technical divi- sions of the utility operation. POHL Pohl, former di rector of electrical engineering for Gulf States in Beaumont, recalled an incident last week where a College Station dispatcher went out of his way to assist a customer. "One of the dispatchers was work- ing with a man in Oklahoma, whose daughter was here in College Station and having problems getting her elec- tricity on," said. Pohl.who started his work with the city Aug: 19. The 1970 Texas_ A &M graduate said the young woman called from a pay phone, still without any electricity, to find out what was going on. He said the dispatcher, sensing her frustra- tion, offered to come fix the problem immediately, despite the fact that his shift was over. "College Station is very into provid- ing customer service," said Pohl, who has been in the utility business for 23 years. "I'm looking forward to work- ing in such an environment." TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 B /CS EAGLE k Members of the council intensely de- bated the need for some of the items on the proposed 1993 -94 budget plan, includ- ing a mowing crew and equipment, a new systems analyst position and a study on expanding City Hall. Only Hub Kennedy voted against the tax proposal; a final vote will be taken to- night. Early in the evening, the council con- sidered a 4 -cent increase. Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney said the council needed to be more responsible to the taxpayer. "I would rather not push a 4 -cent in- crease," McIlhaney said, "but rather keep a 3 -cent increase and get solid sup- port from the taxpayers." The ad valorem tax goes into the city's general fund. City manager Ron Ragland said the budget needs some cushion for unanticipated requests. "If you put some flexibility in there, it doesn't mean you have to spend the money," Ragland said. The city manager's job and other city staff positions are outlined in a new governance policy for College Station also up for approval tonight. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1993 B /CS EAGLE CS Council gives p reliminary OK to tax increase By YVONNE SAL•CE Eagle staff writer A car dealer generally marks the price of a car up, knowing a buyer's intention of haggling the price down, The same concept prevailed Wednes- day night at the College Station City Council's workshop meeting, where the council gave preliminary approval to a 3 property tax rate increase that would bring the ad valorem tax rate to 44.50 cents per $100 property value. The council is expected to pass the pro- posal and the city's next budget at to- ".. Re have to ask our- selves if the voters are willing to go for a tax increase." LARRY RINGER College Station mayor night's council meeting at 7 p.m. in the council room chambers at City Hall, 1101 S. Texas Ave. The new rate would cost the owner of a $50,000 home an extra $16.50 a year in taxes. The city must advertise the proposed rate and hold a public hearing. On an as- yet- undetermined date later this month, College Station residents will get that op- portunity. Mayor Larry Ringer said the final rate won't be higher than 44.50 cents, though it could be brought down. Ringer said the city needs the increase to fund a new fire station as well as pro- vide protection for what is becoming a rapidly growing area. "We're adding more personnel to the police, more dispatchers and equip- ment," said Ringer. "But we're aware we have to ask ourselves if the voters are willing to go for a tax increase." Compared to other cities, Ringer said, College Station has one of the lowest tax rates in the state. But it's growing rapidly — about 200 new households made Col- lege Station home last year. • 125 Legal Notices REQUESTFOR PROPOSALS THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION IS REQUESTING PROPOSALS FOR GROUNDWATER MONI- TORING AT ROCK PRAIRIE ROAD LANDFILL, RFP NO. 93 -66.

The Texas Avenue Widening Plan in- cludes extending a sidewalk from Live Oak Street to University Drive, con- structing a median along Texas Avenue and removing right turn lanes on Walton Drive. "After a public hearing, we'll submit th information to the Texas Department of Transportation," Callaway said. He said the Texas Department of Transpor- tation plans to help with the cost. Some members T the. council were concerned whether Texas A &M would consider cost shexing. City Maliagd Rots Ragland intervened with: "City, §taffers have discussed the possibility of ' c t sharing with A4M. The responses eemed favorable, Put nothing was put in writing." A public hearing for the Texas Avenue project is scheduled for Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.�.in the College Station Conference Cente City planners also proposed to council that the city begin annexation proceedings on seven different areas. Callaway said the addition of these areas would make for neat, clean boun- daries and would eliminate confusion for the police and fire personnel. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1993 B /CS EAGLE CS residents address proposed tax hike By YVONNE SALCE Eagle staff writer Lt. Col. Oliver North took the words right out of some College Station resi- dents' mouths when he said, "Let's cut spending, let's cut taxes, let's cut spend- ing again." North was talking about the federal government when he made his statement Wednesday night at Texas A &M. At a public hearing Thursday night, some College Station residents expressed the same sentiment to the City Council. They were talking about the council's plans to raise the ad valorem tax to 44.5 cents per $100 property value. That's an increase of 3V4 cents, or 7.9 percent, from last year. Resident Helen Pugh quoted from North's speech. She told the council there seemed to be no attempt to cut waste from the $66.4 million budget. "We can get the things our city needs by better management," Pugh said. The proposed rate, up for council dis- cussion again Tuesday, would cost the owner of an $80,000 home an extra $26 a year in city property taxes. Phil Kelby supported the increase, say- ing he and his family settled in College Station because of the quality of living. Nice parks, low crime rate and few drug problems attracted him to the city. "I want to see the quality of life main- tained in College Station," Kelby said, "even if that means an increase in taxes." Of the six residents who addressed the council, three said the tax hike was reasonable because of the high quality of service the city provides. City Manager Ron Ragland said even with the increase, College Station will have one of the lowest tax rates in Texas, with a high level of service. If the new tax rate passes on Tuesday, it will go in effect Oct. 1. In other business, the council ap- proved: ■Raising the disposal fee at the Rock Prairie Road Landfill from $17.50 per ton to $21.50. ■Paying Gentry Systems 541,250 for a software package for the public utilities and electrical division.. - ■Purchasing a map system board at 519,94 also for public utility use. The council also discussed an ordi- nance that would crack down on tobacco sales to minors. 0 11 c w ♦ The City of College Station is accepting (\ applications for the positions of: GRANTS ANALYST This position assists in the administration of the City's Community Development programs through coordination and monitoring to access funds and meet related reporting and record keeping require- ments.

Texas Ave. College Station, TX 771340 EQ UAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER A a..l Local /State Owners contest Texas Avenue plan By CHUCK SQUATRIGLIA Eagle staff writer Only a handful of the dozens of busi- ness owners affected by a $2.5 million plan to widen Texas Avenue showed up Tuesday night to discuss the project. The Texas Department of Transporta, tion unveiled plans for the project, which will widen from four to six lanes a 1.3 mile- stretch of Texas Avenue between Cooner Street near University Tower and Dominik Drive. The plan call for replacing the four 11 -foot -wide lanes and 16 -foot center turn lane with six 12 -foot lanes divided by a 14 -foot landscaped median. "Without this project, congestion is destined to get even worse," said Denise Fischer, DOT spokeswoman. Many peo- ple would say it's intolerable now. It's an effort to ease congestion and increase safety." DOT traffic studies show that, during peak traffic times, about 7,900 vehicles use the intersection at Texas Avenue and University Drive each hour. Another 6,200 or so pass through the intersection at George Bush Drive. Those figures are expected to rise to about 9,900 and 8,300, respectively, by the year 2013. Owners of Innovations Contemporary Furniture and B -CS Bicycles, both at Lincoln Street and Texas Avenue, and the Chevron service station at University Drive and Texas Avenue said changes in the curbs along the thoroughfare will limit access to their businesses. The plan eliminates two of the four entrances to the service station — one along Texas Avenue and another along University Drive. Jack Grant, who owns the land on which the station sits, and K.D. Tim- mons, who owns the building, said the move would inhibit traffic flow, creating a hazard. Larry Piper, who operates the station, said the University Drive en- trance to be eliminated is his busiest. They are willing to sacrifice one en- trance along Texas Avenue and urged engineers to revise the plan accordingly. The plan also would consolidate three entrances to the furniture and bike shops into one 40 -foot -wide driveway. But Chris Rhett, who owns Innova- tions, and Richard Barnes, owner of B -CS Bicycles, said the change will limit de- livery truck access and create congestion as customers enter and exit the parking area. Both urged engineers to save a sec- ond entrance on Lincoln Street and in- crease the "common area" they share with a gas station next door. Other features of the plan include a jogging path and bike path, wheelchair - accessible sidewalks and a bus stop in front of city hall. Other additions include a two -way, 25 -foot -wide frontage road connecting businesses and restaurants between Chili's Grill & Bar and Walton Drive and replacing the curving "ramps" at Walton Drive with landscaped spaces. Northbound traffic will be allowed to make left turns at intersections and into businesses, but the design limits left- hand turns by southbound traffic. Southbound motorists would be unable to turn left onto Poplar or Moss streets, Dominik Drive and some businesses. While the road is designed to allow U- turns, city officials have not decided whether to permit such maneuvers. Federal fluids will finance 80 percent of the project; state funds will cover the rest. The city will chip in 10 percent of the cost of any right of way purchases, utility relocations or landscaping. The Department of Transportation owns all but 0.4 acres of the right of way needed for the project. Remaining pieces are mostly small strips near intersec- tions at University and George Bush drives. 09 Friday, October 8, 1993 The Eagle Russians coming to visit BmCS By YVONNE SALCE . Eagle staff writer Russian delegates will get their first taste of Texas hamburgers and hospita- lity next week. Ambassadors from Bryan- College Sta. tion's sister city of Kazan, Russia, arriVE Sunday at Houston Intercontinental Air port. On Monday, the six men will mee their host families in Bryan- College Sta tion, where they'll stay until Oct. 20. Linda Parrish, secretary of the Bryan College Station Sister Cities Associatior has planned dinner for the delegate Monday evening. "It's between hamburgers or lasagna, said Parrish, also vice. president of th College Station school board. "It will be fairly traditional meal." On hand to translate will be Tex, A &M students and professors. Parris has arranged for the delegates to atter Friday night's high school football gan between A &M Consolidated High Scho and Tomball High. Parrish, who has never been to Kaza said these exchange trips give people better understanding of the Russian It style and attitudes. "With each delegation," Parrish sat "we get a better perspective about the' culture." This trip marks the third time a Ru- sian delegation has visited Bryan- Colle;e ,Station. The two cities, Kazan and Bryai- College Station „alternate yearly. Kandy Rose, 'former president of the association, said the delegates have a full social calendar ahead of them. Their agenda includes visiting a quay. ter horse ranch, the Renaissance Festival and Texas A &M. But, Rose said, one thing they love to do is shop. She recalls their last visit to a Bryan- College Station grocery store and their amazement over the shelves of food. "The men stood in the local grocery store with tears streaming down their face,” Rose said. With chaos in Russia right now, Par- rish said, it will be interesting to get their feelings on the future of Russia. The official delegation from Kazan,Ae- public of Tatarstan, Russia includes the city's mayor, Rafik Gumerov, and other Kazan city administrators. "It's incredible timing to have these visitors here," Parrish said, "and get their perspective on the situation going on in their country." Bryan - College ttation Eagle Local &from page one CS residents offer suggestions for parks' future • By YVONNE SALCE Eagle staff writer College Station swimming enthusiasts and soft- ball and soccer players gave their opinions Thurs- day night on where they hope to see the city's sports facilities in the year 2010. The College Station parks and recreation board listened to the citizens' wish lists at the first of many planned public hearings. Steve C. Beachy, emergency management coor- dinator for the parks department, said College Sta- tion wants to develop a solid master plan with citi- zen input. Beachy said these public hearings help the board to think in terms of long -range capital improve- ments and additions. "Often- times, we get requests from citizens," Bea - chy said, "but the current budget doesn't allow us to meet them." Representatives spoke on behalf of all the young adults who play softball, baseball and soccer. Alicia Meza with College 'Station Little League said more fields are needed, and the teams are grow- ing every year. Friday, October 8, 1993 The Eagle "We're busting at the seams," Meza said. "We're here because we don't have enough fields as it is." About 1,000 kids participate in Little League each year. She said 50 more kids are expected to join every year. Avid swimmer Judy Wagner told the board that pools need to be easily accessible to disabled indi- viduals. She would like to see some type of device capable of lowering and raising disabled people into the pool. Wagner also said city pool hours were too restrict- ing. "We need extended hours in the summer for fami- lies," Wagner said. "We have beautiful pools here. I'd like to see us extend the hours and keep the pools open in the spring." This first public hearing dealt with athletics. The board plans to hold additional hearings on neigh- borhood parks and other recreational programs. Members of the College Station City Council were given a questionnaire on their visions for the parks and recreation system at the last council meeting. Beachy said the board will consider the opinions of the residents and council members when drafting the master plan. 40 125 Legal Notices ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS Lincoln Center Land Clear- ing, City of College Station, Texas.

The "northgate feeder," a wire car- rying power to the area around Texas Avenue, University Drive and Well- born Road, fell at about 4:55 p.m., caus- ing the blackout, said Bob Pohl, divi- sion manager for the city electrical department. Repair crews believe a pin holding the bracket connecting the wire to a utility pole near Harvey Road and the East Bypass broke or fell out, causing the bracket to fall, Pohl said. The uninsulated wire burned through the bracket and fell to the ground, he said. Crews repaired the line and restored power at 5:25 p.m. The outage shut down traffic signals along Texas Avenue, backing up rush hour traffic but causing no accidents, police re- ported.

No one was injured in the incident. The three -hour ordeal began just before 1 p.m. when a customer at the Circle K store in Bryan on Texas 21 at the East Bypass saw a pipe with wires hanging out of it on the ground just yards away "Great, if it blows, I'm gone, too." JENNIFER RUEDA Circle K assistant manager from the gas pumps, said Jennifer Rueda, assistant manager. "He was out there pumping gas, and he had noticed it (the bomb) laying out in the drive," she said. Rueda said it looked like about six in- ches of metal pipe with electrical tape wrapped around one end and a red wire hanging out the other end like a fuse. She went back inside the store to call police and her husband. Her husband, who is familiar with the oil industry, told her it sounded like a type of explosive de- vice used in the oil field. He also warned her that such a device could be set off by a radio frequency, like a CB, or simple movement. Regardless, Rueda stood over the de- vice, motioning motorists away, until police and fire officials arrived. As she stood there, Rueda said she kept thinking: "Great, if it blows, I'm gone, too." When Bryan Fire Department Deputy Chief Robert Tucker showed up with police, he agreed with Rueda's husband. He said it appeared to be an initiator charge — which is used by the oil in- Eagle photo/ Michael Mulvey Wearing a anti -bomb suit, Lt. Brad Clark of the C. S.

Bikers support CS bikeway master plan By T Mark SALCE Eagle staff writer Texas A &M students Chris Lingan and Orlando DeLeon said they've wrecked their bikes one too many times on Uni- versity Drive. The two avid cyclists said it's easy to get caught between the curb and the road on University Drive and the bikers get cut off because drivers have the right of way. Both Lingan and DeLeon agree the lim- ited space allowed for their two -wheel ride is not enough; they support the pro- posed College Station Bikeway Master Plan up for city council approval on Thursday. "I'm all for it, " said Lingan, a 21 -year- old zoology major. "It would be more convenient and safer for cyclists and drivers." "I'm all for it." CHRIS LINGAN A&M student The Bikeway Master Plan concept in- cludes a number of bike path projects that could be implemented now and in the future. One project provides a safe loop around city. If the College Station City Council approves the plan, the city could apply for more than $1 million in federal funding for the first enhancement project. Freebirds World Burrito, a Northgate restaurant, and the Texas Bicycle Coali- tion, an Austin -based bicycle advocacy group, have collected more than 3,000 signatures in favor of the plan. The two groups have been soliciting support for the plan from Texas A &M students and local businesses as well. Pe- titions can be found at any of the bike shops in College Station, Richard Hubbard, a manager at Valley Cyclery, said that "it's about time," Col- lege Station accommodate cyclists. The problem, Hubbard said, is not just safety, but education as well. "There has got to be education out there about the laws," he said. " When You don't act like a responsible bike rider, you cause problems and annihilate other cyclists." College Station City Council meets to- day at 3 p.m. for a workshop. The public hearing for the Bikeway Master Plan will be during the council's regular meeting on Thursday at 7 p.m. in city hall, 1101 South Texas Avenue.

Phone calls from homeowners oppos- ing the bike plan have plagued city coun- cilmembers for the past week. And during Wednesday's workshop meeting, five people living on the pro- posed bike route spoke out, and out of turn, against the enhancement project. The residents are concerned that bike lanes in their neighborhood would elim- inate parking along the curb and lower property values. Mayor Larry Ringer sided with resi- dents and encouraged the city's transpor- tation planner, Ed Hard, to consider bike routes and not bike lanes. "To put in a bike lane as opposed to a bike route is a very major change for that street (Glade Street)," Ringer said. The proposed Bikeway Master Plan in- cludes a number of bike path projects. One project provides a 7 -mile loop around the city. Once constructed, the annual road maintenance cost on the bike loop would be $125,000. Federal funds will help build the bike path, but not maintain it — another ar- gument made by opponents. Maintenance would result in a tax rate increase of about 1 cent. Councilmem- bers agreed the bike plan was a good idea but not at the expense of a tax increase. College Station residents have already seen a property tax increase this year. Hard said results from a survey say 70 percent of the population supported the Bikeway Master Plan. The plan is up for a vote by the council tonight at its regular 7 p.m. meeting in city hall. Council OKs Bikeway Master Plan By YVONNE SALCE Eagle staff writer Some sat in seats, others on the floor. But the folks with "We Like Bikes" stick- ers on their lapels kept coming and com- ing until it was standing room only. Glade Street and the Bikeway Master Plan were the hot topics at Thursday night's College Station City Council meeting. More than 50 people, including cyclists and Glade Street residents, showed up for the public hearing. But the issue for Glade residents was not to eliminate the Bikeway Master Plan — just revise it Half the people present stood up to air views for the plan and for changes in the plan. No one spoke against it. And after three hours, both parties ap- plauded — literally — when the council unanimously adopted the Bikeway Mas- ter Plan. The council revised the plan so that Glade Street remains a bike route and doesn't become a bike lane. Glade Street residents were concerned with the original proposal of the plan — changing their street from a bike route to a bike lane, where parking along the curbside would be eliminated. The council also said that under the master plan, any bike lanes proposed for a residential street would have to come before council again. The plan includes a number of bike paths, routes and lanes that could be im- plemented now and in the future. In or- der for the city to be eligible to compete for federal funding, the plan had to be adopted by Nov. 4. With that, the council also approved a $1.3 million College Station Bike Loop Project, a small portion of the master plan. The loop makes it possible for cy- clists to travel safely around the city. Col- lege Station will also join Bryan in apply- ing for funding for a joint city bike map. With the bike map, Bryan and College Station would provide 20 percent of the funding — about $2,600 from each city. At the start of the meeting, the atmos- phere was tense. At one point, Mayor Larry Ringer jokingly suggested adjourn- ing the meeting before the public hear- ing. And Mayor Pro Tem Fred Brown, not- ing this was the biggest turnout at a council meeting in a long time, asked Danise Hauser, local spokeswoman for the Texas Bicycle Coalition, if she could rally up the same amount of people for a bond election. Hauser presented 3,000 signatures of people in favor of the plan. She com- mended the council on their long -range goal to make College Station a "biker - friendly" city. College Station resident Jonathan Coo - persmith agreed. "Overall the plan is very good and would further advance the quality of life in College Station," he said. Glade Street homeowner Jacqueline Gramann said she found herself in a strange position, because her family bikes but she didn't want parking elim- inated along her street. "I'm all 100 per- cent behind biking," she said. Residents can view the master plan at city hall. After approval of all the bike projects, Ringer ended the meeting by inviting cy- clists to stay for the oil and gas public hearing, and asked, "Is there anyone home on Glade Street tonight ?" In other business, the council approved an increase in sewer rates. The resi- dential flat rate of $16.80 per household will increase to $17.70. The monthly service charge on water will increase as well — depending on the size of a household's meter. Bill Riley, division manager for water and wastewater, said 90 percent of cus- tomers will see no change in their water bill. "That's because the residential cus- tomer has a standard meter size of three - quarters of an inch," Riley said. "Your service charge is based on your meter size because -there is more demand on the system." Larger water meter users will see a change in their service charge, he said, rather than the 5 percent increase orig- inally proposed on usage. Riley said unfunded federal environ- mental mandates were part of the reason for the increase in water and wastewater rates. Also, he said, the council has been working toward a cost-of-service system, in which the three entities — water, sewer and electric — become self - sufficient. The changed rate structure works toward that goal. Friday, October 29, The Eagle 1993 NOTICE TO BIDDERS THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATON IS REQUESTING BIDS FOR FIREFIGHTER WINTER JACKETS RFP. 94 -08.

Linda Piwonka, executive director for management services, told a city council workshop Wednesday that the city plans to increase public aware- ness of how locally -owned utilities benefit citizens.

The council gave city planners approval to start annexation proce- dures on all properties except on the portion of land owned by resi- dents who spoke out. Hubbard was the only vote opposing exempting the residents. In other action, the council amended the 1993 -94 annual budget to accommodate funding for more stringent seat belt enforcement.

Especially appreciated is the bike loop project. It is important to the area to provide a safe environment for those who choose to use bicycles, either for physical exercise or as an alternative means of transportation. When additional bike lanes are pro- posed in the future we would urge the cit- izens of College Station to remember that the safety of the riders is of paramount importance. We would also strongly en- courage the city to implement a bicycle safety plan that includes the education of non - bikers in the rules and preferred eti- quette of mixed bicycle - automobile traf- fic in the streets. Hopefully in the near future Bryan also will develop plans for bikeways, which will integrate with the College Station plan.

CS officer shoots himself in foot A College Station police officer was shot in the foot when the 12 -gauge shotgun he was carrying to a distur- bance accidentally went off. Officer Michael Denham was taken by ambulance to Brazos Valley Medi- cal Center where he underwent sur- gery to remove shotgun pellets from his left foot. He was listed in satisfac- tory condition late Monday, a spokes- man said. The shooting is under investigation. Six weeks ago officers finished an internal investigation into a early - morning shooting involving Denham, 27. Denham shot a knife - wielding stab- bing suspect who charged toward him while threatening to kill him Aug. 7. The shooting was ruled justifiable with the investigation finding that the officer acted appropriately when he shot Robert Moore five times. In Sunday's incident, Denham was backing up another officer at a distur- bance in the 100 block of Luther Street at about 8 p.m. when the accident hap- pened. He was carrying the shotgun from his car toward the residence when the gun accidentally discharged; the bul- let hit the top of the officer's foot, police said. It is uncertain when the officer will return to duty, said Chief Ed Feldman. The patrol cars are equipped with a shotgun. It is standard procedure for an officer to take the shotgun along on certain calls, Feldman said. Denham has been with the depart- ment for a year.

Sabine Kuenzel Staff Planner 12 -01 -93 CS City Council articulates vision to parks and rec board City leaders would like to see a broader range of activities in College Station to meet all ages. The officials envision periodic customer surveys, more passive activities designed and a fee structure established to cover capi- tal improvements for sporting fields. The suggestions were from the city council to the College Station Parks and Recreation Board during contin- ued talks Tuesday evening over a pro- posed parks master plan. Parks and recreation board member Gayle Schmidt led an informal work- shop where council members ranked the importance of proposed changes. The volunteer board has met with res- idents and community leaders in the past few months. Steve Beachy, emergency manage- ment coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Department, said the mas- ter plan should be complete by late spring. — Compiled from staff and wire reports • Thursday, December 2, Bryan /College Station Winicipal Judge Steve Smith tO leek court -at -law seat College Station lawyer and munici- I,al judge Steve Smith will become the first Republican and third announced candidate for County Court -at -Law No. 1 on Friday. Smith, 41, will make his formal an- nouncement at 12:15 p.m. Friday in the College Station Municipal Courtroom, located in the municipal court build- ing behind the College Station Police Department, 2611 -A Texas Ave. S. Two -term incumbent Judge Claude Davis announced in early November that he'll step down when his term ex- pires at the end of 1994. Assistant County Attorney Jack Pharriss and Assistant District Attorney Jim Locke have both announced they'll run as Democrats for Davis' seat. Candidate filing for next year's races begins Friday. Smith, a partner in the law firm of Hoelscher, Lipsey, Elmore and Smith, has practiced law in Brazos County for almost 17 years. He has been a muni- cipal judge for six years — four years as an associate judge and the last two years as presiding judge. He lost his last bid for a county court -at -law bench in 1990 when he was defeated by Democrat Sarah Ryan for the County Court -at -Law No. 2 seat. 1993 Eagle • I L;s fire department rolls out new pumper fire truck today The city of College Station will un- veil the latest addition to its fire de- partment today. In a short ceremony at 2:30 p.m. in front of Central Fire Station, Fire Chief Bill Kennedy will officially enter anew fire engine, or pumper, into ser- vice, said Bob Yancy, a spokesman for the city. Yancy said the purchase of the "unique" fire engine saved the city about $88,000. Unlike other pumpers in the department's fleet which are built on custom chassis, the new $135,000 engine was built on a commercial chassis with no compromise of per- formance or capability, city officials said. The last pumper on a custom chassis was purchased in 1991 for $223,000, he said.

Davis, a two-term incumbent Demo- crat, said he'll step down when his term expires at the end of next year. Smith said he wants to be County Court-at -Law No. 1 judge "to serve the people of Brazos County." He lost his last bid for a county court - at -law bench in 1990 when he was defeated by Democrat Sarah Ryan for the County Court-at -Law No. 2 seat. Smith, a partner in the law firm of Hoelscher, Lipsey, Elmore and Smith, has been a College Station municipal judge for the past six years and he said he's presided over 7,500 cases. He noted that he is the only candidate who has served as a judge. Smith said he has been on the faculty of the agency that teaches municipal judges since 1989.

The College Station City Council approved entering a joint venture with Brazos County, Texas A &M and possibly the city of Bryan to fund de- sign for the widening of George Bush Drive. The Bryan City Council tabled the item at its last meeting and is ex- pected to vote next week. Each entity will contribute an es- timated $95,000 for improvements be- tween George Bush Drive and Well- born Road and FM 2818. The Texas Department of Transportation is ex- pected to help fund the construction as well. Council members also approved the first reading of allowing an addi- tional solid waste removal company to compete with the city and Texas Commercial Waste for business. Barry Mayfield, owner of Mayfield Trucking, came to the council to request a franchise from the city. His company would compete for the col- tion debris. Mayfield, who recently moved his business from Humble to the Bryan - College Station area, had been war- ned by the city for doing business without a franchise permit. It wasn't until recently that waste companies were required to have a franchise. Ron Schmidt, general manager of Texas Commercial Waste, asked the council not to grant the franchise on the basis that the current situation is working and has been for 14 years. The city of College Station charges $75 per haul of waste and TCW char- ges $85 per haul. The four council members in favor of the allowing a second franchise said it encourages free enterprise. Two more readings of the ordinance are scheduled for early next year. In January, BFI, another waste collec- tion company, is expected to come to council asking for a franchise as well. The council also approved the re- zoning of an eight -acre tract on Do- minik Drive near the Polo Club Apartments. The action will allow 208 apartment units — 20 more units than normally allowed in an R -6 dis- trict. Friday, December 10, 1993 Bryan /College Station Eagle Each entity will contribute an estimated $95,000 for improvements between George Bush Drive and Wellborn Road and FM 2818. The Texas Depart- ment of Transportation is expected to help fund the construction as well, Resident Jennie David of 410 Uni- versity Oaks Blvd. opposed the de- cision because of the existing parking problems in that area. "We're looking at a very dangerous parking problem with parking along the street," said David. Developers said they will provide 564 parking spaces and are willing to eliminate landscape if more are needed.

"I have yet to find anyone in this com- munity who's not anything but en- thusiastic about the center," Robert Smith, vice president for finance and administration, told the Texas A &M Uni- versity System Board of Regents. On Thursday, however, Maher Hath- out, general manager of the College Sta- tion Hilton, told the Eagle that no one had contacted him about the proposal. The Hilton was cited in a Coopers & Lybrand analysis of the project as the hotel that would be most affected by an A &M center. College Station City Manager Ron Rag- land said Friday that Smith and Rick Floyd, associate vice president for finance and administration, briefed him about the center a couple of months ago. The meeting, however, was "very low key, low profile," Ragland said. "I think their concern was they wanted community leaders to know, ... but not the public, until it had gone to the re- gents," he said. Ragland said Smith and Floyd told him that the city of College Station wouldn't have to put up any money for the project. The university would donate the land, Ragland said he was told, and the center would be funded completely with private funds. Bryan City Manager Mike Conduf£ was unavailable for comment. But Larry Cat- lin, Bryan city councilman, said that al- though he was aware of the study, he didn't remember it coming up in any meetings. Like Ragland, Catlin said that until he sees the analysis, he can't say how the center would affect his city. The analysis was completed in March. "I would need a lot more information on what they intend to do and its full im- pact on the city of Bryan before I can say whether I'm for it or not," Catlin said. Floyd told the regents that A &M has been talking about building a campus conference center since at least the mid- 1980s. In the spring of 1992, he said, requests for proposals for a 200 -bed hotel and center were drafted. A &M officials stopped drafting these proposals, however, long enough to conduct a pri- vate analysis of how the center would af- fect the community, Floyd said. Friday's meeting at A &M marked the first time that the regents have been briefed about the center in open session. Smith's office will now wait for direc- tions from the board to proceed with the project, Floyd said. In other business, the regents unani- mously voted to name the State Head- quarters Building in honor of late Texas Gov. John B. Connally. "There is no one more fitting to name our state headquarters building after than John Connally," Margraves said. "He was the first Texas governor to step out and make higher education a real agenda item for our state." Dedication of the building is planned for early 1994. The regents also named C. Roland Ha- den director of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station. Haden is the new system vice chancel- lor for engineering and A &M dean of en- gineering. He will replace Kenneth L. Peddicord, who has served as TEES di- rector, interim dean of engineering and interim vice chancellor of engineering since 1991. Peddicord will now become deputy vice chancellor for engineering, executive as- sociate dean of engineering and deputy director of TEES. t The City of College station �� is accepting applications for: LINE TECHNICIAN ELECTRICAL DIVISION Applicants should have thorough knowledge of methods used in the line construction and maintenance field.

M College Station city council ponders the elimination of smoking in public By YVONNE SALCE Eagle staff writer If your New Year's Resolution was to kick the smoking habit, you're just in time. College Station City Council members are considering an ordinance that would prohibit smoking in public places. The council unanimously agreed 'to pursue the plan to ban smoking in public places, such as restaurants and possibly bars. No official action has been taken on the issue. Mayor Larry Ringer said some busi- nesses may be exempt, but the ordinance would prohibit smoking, for all ages, in places accessible to the public. City staf- fers plan to start drawing up the ordi- nance. The council also plans to follow Bryan's ordinance regulating the place- ment of cigarette vending machines. Bryan passed the first reading of the or- dinance Tuesday night. At Wednesday's workshop meeting, Councilman Hub Kennady said the coun- cil ought to hit this issue with as much vigor as possible. "If you can convince people that it's a socially unacceptable practice, health costs would be a lot less," Kennady said. State law prohibits the sale of tobacco products to minors, but College Station city officials want to take it one step fur- ther by fining minors for possessing tobacco products. College Station Police Chief Ed Feld- man said enforcing such an ordinance could be done d}iring the regular course of a police officer's duties. The council also suggested paying businesses unannounced visits through the year, but Feldman said that would take additional time and money. In other business, city staffers advised the council to maintain its franchise agreement with Texas Commercial Waste, a local company granted the fran- CS is disappointed that Bryan nixed funds for Bush drive College Station Mayor Larry Ringer said he was disappointed that Bryan City Council members voted against helping design improvements for George Bush Drive, but he said that won't stop the city of College Station from taking an active role. Ringer said the City of College Sta- tion will act as manager of the project. College Station, Brazos County and Texas A &M University have commit- ted up to $95,000 to help fund planning and engineering costs for the widen- ing of George Bush Drive connection to the George Bush Presidential Li- brary. "I did not expect the full $95,000," Ringer said. "But I thought they would contribute something. I was dis appointed when they voted not con - tribut© anything." Ringer said the joint venture was designed to show the Texas Depart- ment of Transportation of the area's commitment to the project. George Bush Drive is a state highway, which is one of the reasons the Bryan City Council's denied the proposal Tuesday night. Also, scores of Bryan residents voiced opposition to the plan. Ringer said Bryan's decision will not jeopardize the project, and he hopes it won't jeopardize future re- lations between the two cities. chise for hauling construction debris. proached the council seexing a irancnis© At the council's Dec. 9 meeting, Barry with the city.

College Station City Council members approved a motion Thursday night allow- ing the city to spend up to $125,000 on planning and engineering costs for the widening of George Bush Drive. College Station will act as manager of the project. City staffers will ask Brazos County and Texas A &M to commit up to $125,000 rather than the previously agreed $95,000. The new motion comes as result of a Bryan City Council vote not to help fund design plans for George Bush Drive. El- rey Ash, director of economic and de- velopment services for College Station, said a commitment of $125,000 from the three entities guarantees coverage of unexpected costs. "We'd like to go into the project with the fees covered and some contingency," Ash said. He said the city is considering three engineering firms, with WSBC Inc. of Houston ranking top on the list. Construction costs for expanding George Bush Drive into a boulevard are estimated at $4.5 million. It is a state highway, and the Texas Department of Transportation is expected to fund con- "I'm very disappointed in the city of Bryan for viewing this as a road issue and not an economic development program." HUB KENNADY College Station councilman struction costs. College Station City Council members were disappointed at Bryan's decision. Some suggested a joint commitment from all four entities would have persuaded the department to push the project up, making it a high priority. As Councilman Hub Kennady put it: "I am very disappointed in the city of Bryan for viewing this as a road issue and not an economic development program." Bryan City Council members received scores of calls from citizens asking the council to repair Bryan roads and not cut College Station a check. In other business, the council passed a rate increase for parks and recreation fees. Some of the changes include an in- crease from $2 to $2.50 for admission to Adamson pool, and an increase in dis- counts passes from $40 to $50 for Adam- son and $25 to $30 for Southwood and Thomas pools. Steve Beachy, emergency management coordinator for the parks and recreation department, said the new rates will fund additional lifeguards. The council also approved a budget amendment to fund the addition of a DARE officer at the junior high level and a high school liaison officer. Council members denied Mayfield Trucking, a debris hauling company, a request for a franchise. Both Bryan and College Station use Texas Commercial Waste for hauling construction and de- molition debris. Owner Barry Mayfield said he will con- tinue to seek a franchise with the city of College Station. College Station has a two -year contract with TC W. And council members will consider an application for an oil and gas well permit at the intersection of Bird Pond Road and Rock Prairie Road despite disapproval from citizens. Two citizens expressed concerns over the noise, the risk of explosions with horizontal drilling and whether Rock Prairie Road could accommodate oil well traffic. As one resident said, "I certainly wouldn't want to be evacuated from my house."

"When you're dealing with a high - quality park like this, you're going to eliminate prospects," he said. But a few people at the workshop meet- ing remained unconvinced. ' Dick Birdwell, a College Station resi- dent and former councilman, said he favored the idea, but encouraged the council to proceed slowly. "You're taking too big of a hunk at one time," Birdwell said of the $2.3 million project. "You take this project to any bank in the world and they won't lend you a dime." THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1994 BRYAN — COLLEGE STATION EAGLE e as one. The city of Bry_.n has one. And it won't be long before tote city of College Station gets one. City leaders urged College Station City Council members Wednesday night to give their approval to a business park development off Texas 6. Elrey B. Ash, director of economic and development services, presented the plan for Phase One of the College Station Business Park. The cost of the first phase is estimated at $2.3 million. Ash said financing for the park's infra- structure would come from the city. Itss estimated the business park would crease more than 1,500 jobs, bringing in com- mercial, private business and small manufacturing companies. i Robert Worley, executive director f the Bryan - College Station Economic De- velopment Corp., told council membeh Phase One of the park could be full in Z2 months. "If you don't build it, they won't come," said Worley, adding that 46 companies have expressed intergst in moving to the area. "It (the economy) is not sluggish here. We lead the nation in low numbers of unemployment." The College Station Business Park, at the intersection of Greens Prairie Road and Texas 6, includes two phases totaling about 190 acres. Design plans include a jogging path, trails and extensive lands- caping. Worley said prospective businesses looking for a high - quality area. With council approval, he predicts new busi- nesses in the area within three months. The development's fate will be decided at tonight's city council meeting at 7 p.m. in College Station's City Hall. Councilman Hub Kennady questioned whether an additional business park would be overkill with Bryan's Business Park and A &M's Research Park compet- ing for business prospects. • 'City council candidate filing deadline nears If you're 18 years old or older, a U.S. citizen and mentally competent, you qualify to run for a seat on city coun- cil.
