During the election, local voters also approved a joint water conservation district between Brazos and Robertson counties. As the year ended, Bryan continued to develop the embattled Traditions Golf & Country Club at University Ranch. The west side project trudged on despite a lawsuit brought in August by local businessman and banker Don Adam, who is building the competing Miramont golf course across town. District Judge Rick Davis ultimately dismissed the lawsuit, which argued some Traditions contracts were illegal and asked the court to shut down development. Adam's firm, TAC Realty, is appealing Davis' decision.

Blinn College saw a dramatic rise in enrollment for the fall semester, for the first time exceeding 10,000 students across its three campuses. The 10 percent increase over 2001 helped push the Bryan campus to near capacity, officials said. Blinn's growth rate outpaced that of Texas A&M University — but A&M also set a milestone, breaking the 45,000 enrollment mark for the first time. A&M attracted national attention to the area throughout the year, starting when researchers announced in February that they had http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/0101032002.htm 1/2/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle>Region & State Page 3 of 8 cloned a domestic cat, the first time a pet had been reproduced through the process.

A&M continued vying privately for President Bush's presidential library, but it faces stiff competition from other Texas universities. Bush has not indicated when he make a decision on where to send his administration's records after leaving the White House. A&M also made a full-court press to land a lucrative and prestigious national center for homeland security. The university is considered a front-runner for the federally funded anti-terrorism research effort. But it must compete next year against other well-qualified campuses and could face opposition from Democratic lawmakers who criticized the center as GOP pork.

His revelation came weeks after a group that included Coalition for Life members attended a school board meeting to accuse Planned Parenthood of breaking the event's guidelines in 2001 by distributing a brochure that outlined the clinic's services and included the words "abortion services." Smith said he didn't mention his decision during the heated discussions because no one had asked him directly about the fair's fate. In February, the city of Hearne worked to recoup a $1.7 million http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/0101032002.htm 1/2/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 4 of 8 budget shortfall, which outside auditors blamed on a sharp decline in revenues in the city's utility divisions. City officials also attributed the financial disarray to poor bookkeeping practices by the city's past two financial officers and a delay in the completion of audits for 2000 and 2001. To eliminate the deficit, residents faced an immediate $10 to $15 increase in monthly utility bills.

The most visible employment was that of university President Robert Gates, the former head of the CIA. Karr Ingham, an independent economist from Amarillo, called the multiplier effects from Gates' presence here since May "fairly staggering." "I think to the extent that he brings good things to the university, I think resulting growth and resulting further investment in the school, I think those dollars just filter out into the community," he said. Dotzour said Gates "opens up a whole different sphere of influence to Bryan and College Station." "If you bring in somebody who has a long Aggie tradition, they're well-known and tight with the constituency, but that doesn't help open the sphere of influence and expand it," Dotzour said. "I think it's a very significant change." -Kelli Levey's e-mail address is klevey�gtheeagle.com ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/businesstechnology/010503roundtablediscuss.htm 1/6/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Page 3 of 4 puts it to work in terms of something that I think will create jobs," Strawser said. The university's commitment seems genuine and interest from the private sector seems to be growing, said Ivan Olson, president and senior lending officer at First National Bank in Bryan, noting that real-estate developer Caldwell Watson of Houston financed a building at Research Park that houses Schlumberger and Hewlett- Packard. "There's outside capital that's being contributed to the park, which I think backs up the efforts by the university to move forward," Olson said. Clay Riebe, executive vice president for lending at First American Bank, agreed. "Part of the problem has been the restrictions associated with what can be located and what can actually occupy space in Research Park," said Riebe. Relaxing some of those requirements "has made it more beneficial for people to be there," he added. And Mark Dotzour, chief economist for A&M's Real Estate Research Center, called the arrangement between A&M and Caldwell Watson "the most encouraging thing I've seen in the last 12 months." He urged economic leaders to use the deal as a pattern for others. "Find out how that deal was structured and then try to apply that to other deals throughout the region so ... the private sector has some incentive to do a deal and find the tenants and promote the area and bring in the capital," he said. One by-product of new development is that it sometimes leave existing buildings vacant, Dotzour said, pointing out that Schlumberger and Compaq, which is now Hewlett-Packard, moved out of their former spaces to locate in Research Park. Another factor in the local development equation is A&M's plans to build or buy space off-campus for some of its offices. The former Westinghouse building is one site under consideration by A&M. "I don't have an office building request on my desk, but I know if I got one I'd be doing a lot more investigating as to what A&M will be doing in the next several years," Olson said. "I don't know off the tip of my fingers what amount of space A&M has got in independent • private ownership... but it's probably a lot bigger than the one or two examples we're talking about here, so I think it's a genuine concern." http://www.theeagle.com/businesstechnology/010503roundtablediscuss.htm 1/6/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Page 2 of 4 Wilkerson, opinions editor Robert C. Borden and staff writer Kelli Levey. Mervin Peters, chairman of board for the Wells Fargo Brazos Valley Market, said it is not the community's reputation, or lack thereof, that is stunting growth, but statewide and national economic conditions. "I think we've done much of what needs to be there, between the promotional effort [of] Roland and his organization and the expertise and resources that the university has to offer and a good attitude in the community to try to make things happen," he said. "I think all the ingredients are there, it's just we've got to wait for the opportunity." One roadblock to attracting new enterprises is the population base, which is a little older and smaller than many technology-oriented businesses prefer, said Jerry Strawser, dean of the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University. Another obstacle is sheer numbers, which Mark Dotzour, chief economist for A&M's Real Estate Center, said the community is ( many years away from overcoming. �r■► "Cities under 500,000 population are fighting an uphill battle for employment, not just in Texas but everywhere," he said. "The central trend in business is to consolidate, cut costs and move your companies to bigger cities." Strawser said companies consider the age of 35 a "magic year," and this community's demographics could become younger with some effort. "We have a lot of kids who come to school here who would love to stay in this community but we don't have the types of jobs that they're looking for," he said. Strides have been made in the past year toward improving the potential for retaining A&M graduates and increasing opportunities for those who conduct research there, Strawser said. A&M officials in early October announced a seven-year initiative to spur commercial development of university research. Central to the effort will be the Texas A&M Technology Commercialization Center, which will be built in A&M's Research Park. It will aid researchers by providing them with avenues of increased funding and helping Lthem find resources for outside work.

"The unfortunate thing for the city is they will have to bear the burden of cost for traffic and for support services, but will not have the tax base to offset," he said. "It is just like Austin, where they really got hard on growth so everyone moved out into the county but still came to work in Austin." He said that day might not be too far away because of the fee increases and changes that will come with the city's uncompleted Unified Development Code, which he said will bring other new costs to developers and home builders. Others in the development business said that if the fee increases are inevitable, there may be a better way for the city to collect than with flat across-the-board increases. Engineer Lynwood Adams said that if the city wants to charge developers more, he would rather see developers get billed for the actual time city staff has to spend on a project, similar to the way an lawyer bills clients. "I would like to see the city say 'we're going to spend `X' amount of time on this' and set up a job number and bill you for the work they do," he said. "They could maybe start you with a minimum retainer and then pay it back if they don't spend it all." Adams said he believes that if the fees are too high, jobs could be chased away, and it could take the city seven or eight years to recover from the damage. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferrell theeagle.com ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/010603 development.htm 1/6/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle>Region & State Page 2 of 3 • An increase from $300 to $600 for a conditional use permit. The (W average cost to the city is $1,868. Kelly Templin, College Station's development services director, said the city has worked hard to keep local developers up to date on the potential fee increases, which were proposed to be implemented over a three-year period beginning in 2001. In August of 2001, the council voted to raises fees by an average of 80 percent. The three-year plan was designed to help the city recover between 80 and 100 percent of its cost for development. Developers were reminded that fees would be going up at a developer's breakfast this summer and the city e-mailed a list of potential increases before they were presented at a council workshop last month. The increases are based on a 2000 study compiled by DMG- Maximus for the city that compared development costs in College Station to those of 19 other similar cities — Bryan, Arlington, Carrolton, Denton, Flower Mound, Georgetown, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville, Longview, Lubbock, McKinney, Mesquite, North Richland Hills, Plano, Richardson, Round Rock, San Marcos and Southlake. The results showed that College Station's rates were lower than those in many of those communities. Chuck Ellison, a local attorney who works with developers, said development costs are getting "a little steep." He said the review process and other city rules are in place to benefit the entire community, so it seems only fair that the difference be paid from the city's general fund rather than out of the developers' pockets. He said the real issue is not the fee increases, but the philosophy of the City Council, which he said is causing developers to pick up the initial bill for communitywide efforts. Ellison said money for the additional fees most likely will fall on people buying homes and businesses. "People think there are large profits in development and the costs can just be absorbed," Ellison said. "But there aren't, and the costs will just get passed through [to the home buyer]. It will get to the point that it makes it harder to have affordable housing in College Station." Developer Steve Arden said that if development costs continue to escalate, the most logical place for growth to occur would be in unincorporated parts of Brazos County, where the fees and regulations do not pose as much of a burden on builders. He said people who live outside the city can still reap all of the http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/O10603 development.htm 1/6/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 1 of 3 tll� 41.611+H Home Classifieds Aggiesports.com ( BrazosSports.com ; Subscribe Co Region/State January 6, 2003 Births Brazos Valley Notebook Club Meetings Development fees in College Station may College Town be raised Datebook Government Links By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL Links Eagle Staff Writer Obituaries Town Talk A proposal by College Station to raise development fees has Site Sections developers crying foul and suggesting the move would drive up A&M News costs for homebuyers or drive more new construction outside of Agriculture town.

The implication was that having two cities causes added costs with no benefit to the taxpayer. It previously has been alleged that having two cities is a detriment to economic development. These claims of inefficiency were made without benefit of data supporting the charge, The contention is that bigger size produces lower unit costs. If that were always true, American Airlines would be making more money than Southwest Airlines. Most of us know the reverse is true. If you check the tax rate of Texas cities, you will find that in most cases, larger cities have a higher tax rate than medium size cities. There is no data to show that combining Bryan and College Station would save any taxpayer money. One of the fastest growing areas in Texas in the past 50 years is the Brazosport area of Brazoria County. The area includes seven incorporated cities, all with tax rates below Bryan's. Each city has different development and zoning standards. If services can be provided to the citizens at lower costs by combining Bryan, College Station and county departments, this can be achieved under current state law through a contract agreement. What we need is a greater dedication on the part of elected officials to pursue available opportunities to save taxpayer money.

Growth projections for the College Station district are based on a 2.5 percent annual increase in enrollment over the next five years. The district's student population has risen by about 25 percent since 1993, from 6,150 students to 7,695. Deputy Superintendent Eddie Coulson said projections show the district will have about 7,800 students when the 2003-04 school year begins and more than 8,700 students by 2007. Over the past two years, College Station has added about 300 students, which is about half the number of children that fill one of its elementary schools. Johnson said plans are also being prepared for the construction of a sixth elementary campus. College Station voters in 1999 approved the construction of Forest Ridge Elementary, which would sit behind Cypress Grove Intermediate School on Graham Road. Coulson said that if growth patterns stay on target, the district's five current elementary schools could be full in two years. He said the campus with the most potential for growth, Southwood Valley Elementary, is also the one most capable of handling additional students. He said other measures could be taken to alleviate the overcrowding, including rezoning campus boundaries or reevaluating the district's school configurations, which put kindergarten through fourth grade students at elementary schools, fifth and sixth grades in intermediate schools, seventh and eighth grades in middle school and ninth through 12th grades at the high school. "The numbers indicate that we probably need to begin dialogue about what the next elementary school is going to look like and when it will come on-line," Johnson said. Though the money to build the school has already been approved, the district would still have to fund all maintenance and operation costs, including additional staffing, through its annual budget. The same would be true if a second high school were built. http://lv vvw.theeagle.com/schools/011003newcampuses.htm 1 <0/2003 The Bry College Station Eagle > Schools Pageoff 3 �aR the&agle com 4 7�r_ cyxt.res+ Home ; Classifieds Aggiesports.com BrazosSports.com Subscribe Contact Site Map Schools January 8, 2003 Calendar Lunch Menus College Station looks toward plans on possible campus Links School Board Contacts additions Students of the Week Site Sections By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL A&M News Eagle Staff Writer Agriculture Announcements The College Station school district hopes to have timetables in place by March outlining plans for a Business&Technology possible second high school and sixth elementary school.

The College Station City Council rejected a $75,000-bid last Thursday, which was the only one received for the home so far. The Brazos County Appraisal District values the home at $205,280. Shelburne Veselka, an Austin tax attorney handling the case for the city and Brazos County appraised the home at $198,700. In a letter to Mayor Ron Silvia that the house was in need of "extensive repairs and maintenance." The bid was accepted by Brazos County commissioners on Oct. 15 and by College Station school district trustees on Nov. 18. But all three groups had to sign off on the bid for it to go through. City Councilman Dennis Maloney said the council felt that even with the needed repairs and legal issues surrounding the home, $75,000 was not a fair bid for the property. "The City Council took a look at this and said 'it doesn't seem right,"' he said. "We know our neighborhoods. We know these homes. All the homes on Rose Circle are upper-end homes." The law does allow Dahlstrom the opportunity to buy the home back at the auctioned price for up to two years. So any money spent on improvements could be lost if the previous owner were to try and get the house back, Maloney said. If the old owner does not come back, he said someone may get a heck of a deal. Veselka said the house was originally put up for auction in early 2002 at the Brazos County Courthouse with the intent of getting the "fair market price" so that enough money could be raised to pay off the delinquent tax bill. He said one man expressed a strong interest in the home, but never returned to make a formal bid. The house was put up for auction again in May, with a minimum opening bid of $75,000. Only one bid, which was for that price, was submitted.

"We're working on pulling together the most prestigious retail project this community has ever seen," he said. "College Station has some very attractive first-class shopping centers here, and there are more coming, but we feel we're bringing something that hasn't been done before." Demolition crews have been working for several days to tear down the former Academy store and its adjoining buildings, which were all built separately in the 1960s. The bookstore beside George Bush Drive will be demolished as well, and the parking lot will be rebuilt after the utility lines are replaced, Sondock said. Restoration of the shopping center is a significant event in maintaining the community's reputation as a desirable location for retailers, said Kim Foutz, the city's economic development director. "It has a significance from the community's perspective because it • presents the city in a better light," she said. In addition, she said, Bed Bath & Beyond typically attracts other companies to a location. Sondock said he and his partners considered securing the commitment of Bed Bath & Beyond quite a feat. The nationwide chain that sells high-end domestic merchandise and home furnishings has more than 470 stores. "Of the 40 to 50 non-mall anchors in this country, we feel Bed Bath & Beyond is one of the top four or five sexiest, most desirable anchors to begin a shopping center with," he said. Others he ranked among the most attractive prospects were Borders Books, Whole Foods Market and Barnes & Noble Booksellers, which already is in College Station.

But, he said, three high-speed rail demonstration projects are going to be scheduled if the bill is passed. "If it's going to be done, Texas ought to be one of those three," he added.

Council members and the mayor are currently elected to two-year terms, with three spots up for vote one year and four spots up the next year. Several council members expressed concern that the potential loss of four council members at once would disrupt continuity on the council and make the job of city staff much harder. If the three-year terms are approved, the council spots would be staggered to have two positions come up each year, with a third spot on the ballot every three years. Council members would begin running for three-year terms in May 2004. City Attorney Harvey Cargill Jr. said extending term limits was discussed by the council in 1998, but never went before voters. A change in lengths would also impact the number of consecutive terms council members can run for. Currently, council members can run for up to three two-year terms, then must sit out for at least one year before seeking re-election. Term limits would most likely be changed to two three-year stints, which would still keep the maximum amount of time a member can serve without a break at six years. Councilman James Massey, who is eligible to seek a third term in May, said extending the period people are elected to would make for more effective council members. "I felt like it took me a year to a year and a half to get to the point where I understood everything," he said. "To have that term, you would at least be able to learn for half and contribute for half. We're not trying to extend anybody, we're just trying to make it easier for the people who serve." Cargill said three-year terms require candidates to get more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff. With the two-year limits, candidates only need to collect the most votes, as long as they are picked on at least 34 percent of the ballots. Bryan City Council members and trustees from both school boards are elected to three-year terms. Council members also discussed the possibility of appointing the city secretary, city attorney and municipal court judge to open- ended terms. All three positions are now filled in two-year terms. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferrell4theeagle.com. ©2000 -2003 The Bryan - College Station Eagle http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/012703altercharter.htm 1/27/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 1 of 3 11"Awte -209M MIAs N: Home Classifieds Aggiesports.com BrazosSports.com j Subscribe Co Region/State January 27, 2003 Births Brazos Valley Notebook College Station may alter its charter Club Meetings College Town College By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL DatebEagle Staff Writer Government Links Links College Station voters could be asked to consider changes to the Obituaries city's charter this fall, including raising the age of eligibility to serve Town Talk on the City Council and lengthening elected officials' terms.

"The belief that companies need to be lean and mean is wrong," he said. "My students learn that great companies need to be lean and nice with humane core values to sustain human leadership." Mark Dotzour, chief economist for the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, said that consumers, who drive 60 percent to 70 percent of economic activity, comprise another important aspect of the marketplace. But consumers are reporting less confidence in their job prospects in the next six months, as evidenced by the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index. It has been dropping for the past six months, Dotzour said, and it slipped this month to 79 from 80.7 in December on a 100-point scale. "When people are uncertain about their jobs, they don't buy cars and furniture," Dotzour said. Dotzour predicted large companies will continue to be restrained in their spending and expansion through 2003, but he said the computer sector of the technology industry will "start to wake up" this year because most people bought new computers in 1999 in anticipation of problems in the new millennium. In addition, he said, factors such as increasing new home sales — .� prompted by low interest rates, which Dotzour expects to remain low and the large percentage of government-based jobs tend to keep this market afloat despite low stock prices. Meanwhile, Dotzour said, a remaining roadblock to improving the nation's economic picture is the threat of war with Iraq. "The quicker we get this deal done the quicker we can start the upswing in the economy," he said, adding he predicts a shift within three days after "Saddam Hussein does whatever he's got." •Kelli Levey's e-mail address is kleveyna theeagle.com ©2000 -2003 The Bryan - College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/businesstechnology/012903economic.htm 1/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Page 1 of 2 r nte�e a i fle.com .. .11a3.1+r: Home ( Classifieds Aggiesports.com BrazosS ports.com Subscribe Contact Business&Technology Business & Technology Chambers of Commerce Columnists January 29, 2003 Strictly Business Technology Economists say area firms need support Site Sections A&M News By KELLI LEVEY Agriculture Eagle Staff Writer Announcements Business&Technology Business owners and investors throughout Classifieds the Brazos Valley need to stick together and Columnists nurture their existing companies and Community customers, several experts said Tuesday at OCR The Eagle the annual Economic Outlook Conference.

"They probably only have one or two campuses, so its easier to spread around," he said. "We have 20, so it would be pretty hard for kids to spread it to each other." If the number of ill students continues to rise, he said, administrators would discuss what to do. Texas Education Association spokesman Suzanne Middlebrook said it is difficult to pinpoint how many districts across the state have closed because the districts do not have to report to the TEA. The only way the state agency finds out is when districts apply for waivers or do not receive funding for the missed days, Middlebrook said. Between October and December, 32 Texas districts closed because of illness. Shirley Kostohryz, director of community health services for the Brazos County Health Department, said there is no way of knowing how widespread the flu outbreak is because influenza is not a reportable disease. She said parents can help keep their kids healthy by making sure they follow basic rules of good hygiene, including washing their hands regularly. Parents should also keep their children away from ill playmates. If children do fall sick, she said, it is important they do not go to school where they could infect other students. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferrell theeagle.com ©2000 -2003 The Bryan - College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/schools/013003caldwell.htm 1/30/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Schools Page 1 of 2 h St s s4 • � I er 41a.1+1: Home ( Classifieds Aggiesports.com IS razosS ports.com I Subscribe Contact Schools January 30, 2003 Calendar Lunch Menus More area schools close due to illness Links School Board Contacts By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL Students of the Week Eagle Staff Writer Site Sections A&M News Add Caldwell to the list of school districts forced to close their doors Agriculture because of illness.

P Sondock has been involved in developing eight shopping centers in Houston, but he said this is the largest and most sophisticated project. However, he said leasing property in College Station has been a greater challenge than in Houston because most of the desirable national tenants are already here or they consider this market too small. Foutz said many other developers in this area have faced similar reluctance from prospective tenants. In fact, she said the recent string of"big box" retail establishments moving into town, including a planned Home Depot, is probably on the verge of slowing. "It may be a while before we see another one coming in," she said. "We'll probably have to wait for some more population growth." Sondock's project is one of three initiatives the College Station City Council set last year regarding retail, Foutz said. A different approach might be needed to find tenants for the other two, the former Albertson's store on College Avenue and the former Kmart building at the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South and Texas Avenue. City employees will probably target smaller development and look for areas of"leakage," where customers must travel to another community for a need that is not being met here, Foutz said. Copy Corner's move will spur a bit more redevelopment in the city, Foutz said, because it will involve demolition of an old building and construction of a new one. Copy Corner plans to occupy only about 9,000 feet of the 12,000- square-foot building, and lease the remainder to another business, Hodges said. "We're going to actually end up in less space but it will be laid out more efficiently, with less open area," he said.

Newspapers in Education It's not like any teenager has ever come close to winning one of the seven Obituaries council seats. It's hard to imagine one ever will, although there have been Opinions several young candidates over the years who have impressed us with their Politics knowledge, maturity and commitment to the city. They still lost. Region/State Schools Councilman Scott Mears said, "To me, 21 is the age you enter adulthood." Sports Tell that to the thousands of 18- and 19-year-olds on their way to war with Subscriptions Iraq. When Americans were debating lowering the voting age to 18, it was Weather pointed out— correctly —that if you're old enough to die for your country, surely you are old enough to vote. And surely you're old enough to be mayor of College Station. Council members worry that some teenagers lack the maturity to effectively serve the city of the council. True, but as we have seen in the past, so do some older people. Maturity is certainly something people can and should consider when casting their ballots. Perhaps some council members are frustrated with having to mount campaigns against young candidates who don't have much of a chance of winning. Too bad. The public is best served when it has choices on Election Day. And if, say, a 19-year-old does win, that's OK. Governmental bodies would do well to have different voices, different points of view to look at issues from more than one side. http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/editorials/020303editorial.htm 2/3/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Classifieds Page 5 of 5 MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE AT OAKWOOD INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, COLLEGE STATION INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Sealed price proposals for the replacement of the energy management system at Oakwood Intermediate School located in College Station, Texas will be received at the College Station ISD Purchasing Office, 1812 Welsh Street, College Station, Texa 77840 to the attention of Mark Pantel, Coordinator of Purchasing until 2:00 p.m., February 27, 2003.

"Research has shown the younger you are, the more capable you are of learning a foreign language," Martinez said. "They're little sponges. The parents think we are just doing wonders here and I tell them, 'You know what, we are just handing the ball to them and they are the ones who are going with it."' Martinez credited the work being done by the students' families as a major reason why the class has gone so well. Many of the Spanish-speaking parents are getting to contribute to their children's classes for the first time. Several have volunteered their time in the classroom and help with homework, which is something they often can't do in an English-speaking class, Martinez said. The class will move on to the first grade intact and stay together through at least the fourth grade. Ray said the district is considering expanding the program through the sixth grade but will probably not make a final decision for a couple of years. Beginning in third grade, the students will begin taking their reading and writing courses in their new language. In seventh grade, they will be able to take Spanish for a credit. The district will add a new teacher each year to take over the new grade. College Station plans to keep the program at South Knoll. Students from any part of the district can be enrolled in the class. The school district will host a public meeting for parents interested in enrolling their kindergartners in the dual language program in 2003-04.

With the number of Spanish-speaking students in College Station on the rise, the district is taking steps to make sure their needs are met, Ray said. "The kids who drop out of school when they're older often have a primary language other than English and nobody valued it and they struggle through school," she said. "They lose their connections with their families and they really don't know where they belong.

"I don't want someone who ... woke up one morning and said, 'Oh, I want to be a police officer."' • Holly Huffman's e-mail address is hhuffman4,theeagle.com. ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle Privacy Statement (W http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/020903recruiting.htrn 2/10/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 4 of 5 "You don't have to sit there and show us you're a rough tough cop already," Adams said. -- Ideal police officer Seaton said College Station's ideal police officer is well-rounded, has demonstrated a little incentive and done his or her homework. He or she should attend the department's citizen police academy and ride with College Station police officers during their shifts. Because the department investigates a lot of white-collar crime, a college degree helps but it isn't always the deciding factor, she said. Taking criminal justice courses provide a good base, but they aren't real life, she added. "We don't necessarily want perfect angels — some of our best officers weren't really good kids," Seaton said. "But at some point, they made a decision in their life about what they wanted to do and stopped the behavior." Rookie James Arnold, a 24-year-old recruit who started with the department in January, seems to be exactly what College Station is looking for. A Texas A&M University graduate and member of the Corps of Cadets, he 4 has wanted to be a police officer for the past six or seven years and has been slowly working toward his goal. After graduating from college, he worked at the Brazos County Probation Department for a year and a half building an employment history. In the meantime, he talked at length with friends who already worked at the College Station department, getting a feel for the job. After taking the test last summer and completing his personal interview, Arnold was ranked as the top non-certified, or civilian, recruit. He applied only in College Station — a town that he and his wife want to call home. "The No. 1 reason why I felt I wanted to be a police officer is because I believed in the work," Arnold said at the end of his first week on the force. "Pretty much, no matter what you do in this job, I believe that at the end of the day, you've helped people. You can't say that about all jobs." Although Arnold seems to personify the qualities that the College Station police are looking for, the rookie officer said he never once thought he had the job in the bag. "You're very apprehensive the entire time," he said, recalling the written 46 test, interview, background checks, polygraph and psychological exams and drug screen that he had to pass to get the job. Seaton meticulously trudged through Arnold's background, calling many of http://www.theeagle.com/region/localreg'tonal/020903recruiting.htm 2/10/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle>Region & State Page 3 of 5 Bryan officer who was reinstated. Both the Bryan and College Station departments have waged aggressive recruiting campaigns, hitting all the job fairs they can. Seaton said her department also has been airing a promotional video and created a new brochure. But Seaton believes the interest in policing can also be attributed to the wave of patriotism still sweeping the nation in the wake of Sept. 11 and the popularity of TV police dramas such as CSI: Miami and Robbery Homicide. One applicant even admitted to Seaton that he wanted to become a police officer because it seemed "really cool" on TV. "They don't realize that it's not like television," she said. "Ninety-five percent of it is writing reports and taking routine calls that nobody finds exciting, but it's important to the public." Despite the recent increase, Seaton said their numbers are down overall compared to the mid-1990s. She attributes that trend to low salaries. "It's really hard to convince a college graduate that they want to come to work starting off at $31,600," she said. Unlike College Station, the Bryan department has seen the number of applicants drop significantly since the mid-'90s. That is when the department began sending out requirements along with its applications. Seeing the requirements quickly weeds out many unqualified candidates, Adams said. In 1995, the average number of people filing applications with the Bryan department was 250, and about 150 would show up to take the test. But even then, Adams said, the department was having a hard time finding quality recruits — often hiring only three or four people from the batch. But the Bryan recruiter is quick to point out that the department has been able to hire about the same number of candidates despite a drop in applicants. He attributes that to outgoing Police Chief Ken Burton's elimination of a stress-inducing portion of the personal interview portion of the hiring process. During that session, an interview board would bombard a potential police officer with real-life scenarios to determine how well they think and respond under pressure. Previous thinking was that a potential officer should be the type of person who knows how to handle stressful situations. But Burton did away with that portion of the interview because he didn't think it was fair to judge candidates on something they hadn't been trained to do. http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/020903recruiting.htm 2/10/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 5 receiving their driver's license, he said. That pushes the edge of what Bryan will accept. Adams blames the decrease in quality on society becoming more tolerant and accepting of alcohol and drug use. But that doesn't mean Texas police departments have done the same. While society has become more lax, state standards have become more rigid. "What we could have hired 10 years ago, we can't hire now," Adams said. About four years ago the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education strengthened the hiring criteria for police departments. If a person has been convicted of a Class B misdemeanor, he is ineligible to work as an officer for 10 years. So, if a 17-year-old high school student gets in a fistfight and is charged with Class B assault, he will have to wait until he is 27 before he can apply to be a police officer. Class A misdemeanor or felony convictions mean an automatic lifetime ban. "It's whittled down on what's allowable," said Adams. By the numbers College Station received 100 applications to take its most recent test last fall, Seaton said. Sixty-one actually took the test and 48 passed. Thirty-two scored above 80 and eight scored above 90. Applicants must score a 70 to pass the initial test. Typically, anyone who scores over an 80 gets an interview, but this time scores were so good that the department only interviewed those who scored an 84 or higher. "We have really, really high scores this time, so you would think that, `Wow, we've got some really good people,"' Seaton said. "That is not the case." Of the top six applicants, Seaton said, three will probably be eliminated during the background checks. The year before, no one was eliminated, she said. Three of the top four candidates were hired and the fourth withdrew. At the Bryan department, only 65 people applied to take the most recent civil service examine — a test geared to applicants with a 12th grade education that all city employees must pass. Of those, 42 people showed up for the test and only 28 passed. The list was narrowed to just four people after transgressions began to surface during background checks.

"It's the mandatory ones we're concerned about." The city councils of Bryan and College Station and the Brazos County Commissioners Court said in a joint meeting last year they hoped the Legislature would be "sensitive" to the effects of property tax exemptions. Brown and State Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, attended the meeting, where city and county officials asked for detailed study on the impact such exemptions would have on tax revenues. Officials with both cities said last week they had not calculated the possible impact on tax revenues under Brown's proposal. They expressed understanding for the financial challenges many seniors face, but said a freeze for the elderly would shift the tax burden to businesses and younger residents. "That is really one of those tough issues," Bryan City Manager Mary Kaye Moore said. "Somebody pays the bill. If you enable one group not to have to pay as much, then obviously it gets transferred to another group." "That typically is why we tend to oppose tax exemptions," said Charles Cryan, finance director for College Station. "There are some good public policy reasons for them, but it still shifts the burden." • County Judge Randy Sims could not be reached for comment. A tax ceiling for elderly property owners would have to leap several hurdles before taking effect. The legislation must first be approved by the Texas House and Senate, the governor and, in November, voters across the state.

Schools Sports Subscriptions The concept of freezing property tax for seniors is not new. Brazos County Weather seniors already are protected from increases in school property taxes and can claim a $75,000 deduction on their county taxes. Brown's proposal would require voter approval of a constitutional amendment, which would allow tax freezes to be set at the local level. If approved locally, ad valorem taxes for residents age 65 and older generally would not increase as rates and property values go up in later years. Protection from future tax increases would extend to spouses over age 55 should a property owner die, according to the legislation.

The county, which rents the machines to Bryan and College Station during the municipal and school board elections, tried out three electronic voting systems last year. One of the main reasons officials decided on the eSlate, said County Clerk Karen McQueen, was because of its easy accessibility for the handicapped.

Officials say the machines will allow many handicapped Brazos County residents to cast ballots without help for the first time. The machines also can walk voters who cannot read through the ballot so they can cast ballots unaided. Further, the machines are portable and can operate for 18 hours on battery power, so they can be carried by election officials to voters who are unable to leave their vehicles to enter the polling places. The machines have triple redundancy so that votes cannot be lost, even if the power fails. They are sturdy. Local officials are confident that they chose the best of the three systems presented to replace the old punch- card system that must be phased out by federal law. The new machines are a marvel. They are safe, they are secure and they are easy to use. There is one thing they can't do, though: force people to actually get out and vote. We still have to do that on our own, but the eSlate system makes doing so as easy as possible.

Once the candidate of choice is highlighted on the screen, the voter merely presses the enter button to cast a vote. There is no way to get it wrong, and if voters change their mind, they can go back and switch whichever votes they want before finalizing their ballot.

At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, thousands of travelers were delayed as the airport weathered its first major winter emergency of the year. About 2,500 travelers were forced to stay overnight Monday at American Airlines terminals with deicing crews unable to keep pace with the rate of snowfall, American spokesman John Hotard said. "It was a losing battle," Hotard said. "Basically we lost it to the snowstorm." On Tuesday morning, at least half of American Airlines' inbound and outbound flights — about 220 — had been canceled and more were expected throughout the day. Delta anticipated reducing it's flight schedule by 25 percent, D-FW spokesman Ken Capps said.

Capps said runways were open, sanded and ready to handle the airlines' flights. At Dallas Love Field, operations were slightly slower Tuesday afternoon as Southwest Airlines, Delta, Continental and general aircraft shared the airport's one open runway, said Ruben Guzman, the airport's operations officer.

He said the UDO has accounted for about half of his workload since he joined the city a year ago. "It hasn't always been fun," he said. "But now I'm on a first-name basis CW with many of the developers. We got in the trenches together and worked a lot of issues out."

"I think everybody wants a raise, or to be rewarded for their work," Council member Dennis Maloney said. "But they get to keep their job. And maybe that's the best we can do." City employees may also be asked to pay more for their health insurance. As insurance costs rise, both the city and employees will be forced to pay more for the benefits. If sales taxes grow by the estimated 2 percent, then the city will avoid a shortfall in the general fund. But if sales tax revenues do not grow, then the city will almost certainly run a deficit, Kersten said. Changes would have to be made. "This has the potential to be a real challenge for us this year," he said. Kersten was unable to finish his presentation in the time allotted at the end of the workshop meeting. He was only able to review the effects on the general fund. In a session to be scheduled for a later date, Kersten will give his forecast for the rest of the city's funds. • Ethan Butterfield's e-mail address is ebutterfieldntheeagle.com ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle (W Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/022803salestaxgrowth.htm 2/28/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 1 of 2 ,'..thee �Ye co-m- ber one 1,i OWN iyxx.1+t: Home ( Classifieds Aggiesports.com BrazosSports.com Subscribe Contact Region/State February 28, 2003 Births BrazosClub ValleyMeetings Notebook College Station lowers sales tax growth Club Meetings College Town estimates Datebook Government Links Links By ETHAN BUTTERFIELD Obituaries Eagle Staff Writer Town Talk Site Sections With the state and national economies in a funk, College Station's budget A&M News manager has lowered estimates for the city's sales tax growth over the Agriculture next two years.

Entertainment Faith&Values Kersten, in presenting his economic forecast for the next five years, Foodth&Fitness estimated College Station's sales tax growth would slow to 2 percent in HealKids Korner 2004 and 2005. Lifestyles Newspapers in Education Just last year Kersten estimated that sales tax revenue — College Obituaries Station's biggest source of funds — would grow 5 percent in 2004 and 3 Opinions percent in 2005. Politics Region/State Schools So far this year, amid a flattened national economy, College Station's Sports sales tax growth is up 3 1/2 percent over 2002, half a percent above what Subscriptions Kersten had estimated. During the same period the city of Bryan has seen Weather sales tax growth fall, Bryan chief financial officer Kathy Davidson said. College Station has reduced its dependence on sales tax collections in the last decade, allowing it to better weather any economic storm. In 1992, 48 percent of the city's general fund revenue came from sales taxes. In this year's budget, sales taxes make up 41 percent. Increased revenues from property taxes, due to higher valuations and more development, have been the difference, Kersten said. Under the two general fund forecasts outlined by Kersten — one assuming lowered sales tax growth, the other assuming no sales tax growth — the city would not cut back on services or downsize its staff. It But to keep services at their present levels, some sacrifices will have to be made, he suggested. And city employees, in order to keep their jobs, may be asked to chip in. http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/022803salestaxgrowth.htm 2/28/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 2 of 2 working on bids for new sewer lines along Texas 30 and for the extension of Copperfield Drive.

Foutz said the city should receive a site plan within the next two weeks for the 137-acre Crescent Pointe development that neighbors the hotel- conference center site. The land, which is being developed by College Main Ltd., falls within a tax-financing district the city and Brazos County are funding to pay for the conference center. Foutz said the mixed-use Crescent Pointe development will include office space, restaurants, retail businesses and upper-end apartments. "We've been working with a restaurant broker, and there are some companies very interested in coming to the area," she said. "There has also been some interest from limited-service hotels, because the level of service [at the conference center] exceeds the available rooms." Plans have been discussed to develop a trail system linking the 55-acre site to Veterans Park and the Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial, Foutz said. Any paths linking the two developments would have to cross the Crescent Pointe property and land owned by Texas A&M University, where the old Texas Instruments building is located. Foutz said College Main Ltd. has been receptive to the idea of granting easements to the city for the trails, and it may be possible to incorporate some nature trails that already exist on the university's property to link most of the city's "30-60 corridor" area. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferrell4¢,theeagle.com. ©2000 -2003 The Bryan - College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/030203constructioncenter.htm 3/3/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle>Region & State Page 1 of 2 777 ,F , 4the&aglexom ber one In # puck -!

The 28,000-square-foot storefront has been vacant since H-E-B moved last March into a 87,000-square-foot building across Holleman Drive. Haverland said the restaurant chain's family focus was attractive to Target, which is able to approve or reject potential tenants at the College Station shopping center where it is the anchor. "This is already a destination for the college students, so that will make it more of a destination for the school-aged kids and their families," Haverland said. "I always liked those kinds of places when my kids were young because my wife and I could sit and relax while they went to play games, so we all had a good time." The Bryan GattiLand restaurant routinely attracts busloads of youngsters who have come to town for tours and athletic and academic competitions. He said the prospect of maneuvering a bus into the entrance on Holleman sounds daunting. "I think most people would come in on Texas Avenue, anyway," he said.

The council decided not to change the current language, which allows apartments to be built with a conditional-use permit or if they are constructed as lofts with businesses built beneath them. The council's vision for Wolf Pen Creek is for small, boutique-like stores with lofts above them, Councilman Dennis Maloney said. The development ordinance will take effect on June 13. Meanwhile, city budget planner Jeff Kersten outlined the potential effect of a general economic slowdown on the city's utilities programs in the council's workshop meeting. Kersten assumed a slowdown in growth of revenues in the city's water and sanitation funds from 3 percent to 2 percent, and said that if economic conditions warranted it the city may be forced to enact a wage freeze on all city employees. Mayor Ron Silvia pointed out that any wage freeze would be an absolute last resort. "That is nothing but a suggestion," Silvia said. "And I don't want any of the staff of the city of College Station to get really upset or nervous about this thing, because it is a very contingent plan." Next year wastewater rates will rise, the third in a series of three consecutive planned increases, Kersten said. Over the last two years wastewater rates have increased an average of 7 percent and 6 percent respectively. City officials estimated that rates would increase in 2004 by at least an average of 4 percent. The three years of increased rates are designed to produce extra revenue to pay for the city's overhaul of the Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment plant. Kersten also reported that over the next five years the city will have an extra $14 million of revenues in the water fund to spend on capital projects. He said that even in a projected economic slowdown, the city does not plan to raise water or sanitation rates. The council also decided to wait on purchasing $100,000 of video equipment for the purpose of televising meetings and providing programming on city projects until the next fiscal year. It is already an assumed item for next year's general fund budget. •Ethan Butterfield's e-mail address is ebutter ield theeagle.com. ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle LPrivacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/031403citycouncil.htm 3/14/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Region & State Page 1 of 2 .the6aglexom fl' 0 P I i n 9 M a h 0 6 i 0 a 61 .vxt*v Home I Classifieds Aggiesports.com BrazosSports.com Subscribe Contact 1 ` Region/State March 14, 2003 Births BrazosClub ValleyMeetings Notebook College Station Council approved Club Meetings College Town development codes Datebook Government Links Links By ETHAN BUTTERFIELD Obituaries Eagle Staff Writer Town Talk Site Sections The College Station City Council voted unanimously Thursday night to A&M News adopt a set of codes that will provide a guideline for all future development Agriculture in the city.

If we can't trust them, why did we elect them? President Bush ultimately gave the order to attack Iraq, but this was not his decision alone and it was not made without much prayer, discussion and research. He has advisors, both in the military and on his staff, who supplied information and opinions that led to this order. My sympathies are with the families who have lost loved ones during this war. I admire all who are over there fighting this war. We have many public figures, whether in the entertainment industry, news media or elected officials, who have openly spoken against President Bush. To me this is nothing more than being a traitor against the United States. I am particularly dismayed that Martin Sheen so openly defies our action. He is paid millions to portray the president on a popular television series and many of the scripts have him making similar tough decisions. President Bush is paid a fraction of this and has to make these tough decisions daily. Ours is a country that allows freedom of speech and teaches us to respect all individuals. The media is allowed to broadcast both favorable and negative views on any action taken by the United States. Few have the same standards in war as the United States and it is not surprising that Iraq uses inhumane methods. I admire our military and their restraint and concern for even our enemy and know this will cost many their own lives. Thank you, America, for all you have given us. We are very fortunate to live in a country that offers so much. CAROLYN MARTIN College Station Thanks to Aggies It was our pleasure to have eight A&M students at our home on Saturday, washing windows as a part of the Big Event. I can't tell you how impressed we were with the attitude, courtesy, friendliness and enthusiasm that were demonstrated. They did everything we asked and looked around for more work. This is just one more example of the unique character of this university and students. All I can say is thank you to them for being here. They make their parents and their school very proud.

This time, its for an Arts Council building. The Eagle reported that the Arts Council's budget has increased from $154,000 a year to more than $1 million a year. I guess a million dollars isn't enough? Then, to top it all off, after Arts Council Executive Director David Romei's remarks — "We must not forget that all we do is for tomorrow's citizens"the council votes to name the building after him. Self-serving? When will the city councils learn to stop pumping our tax dollars into these abysses of downtown Bryan and Wolf Pen Creek? • ALBERT GONTER Bryan Mourning a pet This is to the coward who hit our pug around 6 p.m. on March 29, on Greenbranch Loop in Bryan, on March 29, around 6 p.m. The person who did this did not even stop to see if Ellie Mae had been injured. At the very least he or she should have checked on our pet and then rung our doorbell because we were obviously home since our car was in the drive. We noticed Ellie Mae lying in the road as we were preparing to go to the Aggie baseball game. If the driver is at all concerned, she was alive. Maybe if the driver had stopped, Ellie Mae would not have died before our vet arrived at 6:20 p.m. I personally want the driver to know that he or she has broken my children's hearts. I know this was probably an accident, but any decent person would have stopped.

He then delivered his address, which lasted four minutes." Regardless of how one views the likely impact of this war on our nation's and the world's security, or how much one wants to rid the world of the despot Saddam Hussein, I recoil at such an expression of self-satisfaction at having begun a war that is expected to result in untold deaths of innocents, as well as of our own brave combat soldiers. This demonstration of self-satisfaction at going to war also exposes this administration's arrogance — an arrogance that led the U.S. to discount the views of many of our allies in its decision to go to war and to develop a war plan based on the expectation that our "shock and awe" strategy would quickly tumble Saddam's regime and that the Iraqi people would welcome U.S. forces as liberators. Let there be no doubt that I support the proclaimed goal of the war: freedom for the Iraqi people and the ousting of a brutal tyrant. However, cannot share Bush's good feelings about going to war. I feel sad that "war has come to us" (as Bush so creatively frames our relentless rush to war). http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/040303letterstoeditor.htm 4/7/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Classifieds Page 6 of 6 (W Place an Ad I Announcements I Automotive t e e Business Opportunities I Employment I Financial I Merchandise I Rentals Real Estate I Service Directory Return to Classifieds Index ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://classifieds.theeagle.com/lineads/0699.php 4/2/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Classifieds Page 5 of 6 Department of the District no later than April 9, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. Specifications may be picked up at the Navasota I.S.D.

Faith&Values Food As the district prepares for a statewide funding crisis, administrators and Health&Fitness school board members should be spending money wisely, the 43-year-old Kids Korner stay-at-home mother said. Lifestyles Newspapers in Education Obituaries "As someone who has raised two children on practically nothing, I find that Opinions bargain hunting, research, knowing what the best value is and talking to Politics more than one person [is necessary] to try to find what's going to be the Region/State right thing," she said. Schools Sports Subscriptions Strawn filed last week for the Place 1 post on the College Station school Weather board. She is challenging incumbent Marc Chaloupka, who is finishing his second term. A former employee for Electronic Data Systems, Strawn said she has always worked with computers and knows the importance of technology in education. Making sure the district remains at the forefront without spending tons of money will be key, she said. A unique situation prompted Strawn, who has two grown sons, to run for the school board. Last year her sister was slain in Plano by her husband, who then killed himself, Strawn said. The tragic events left her sister's two young children, now 7 and 12, without parents, she said. Strawn adopted the children and now again has a vested interest in the College Station school system, she said. "It becomes kind of a giving back," Strawn said.

BRENDA BETHMAN r.. Bryan Not at all amusing Whatever happened to the concept of Republicans as fiscally prudent? If President Bush's latest tax cuts, sharply tilted to the very wealthy like his earlier proposal, pass, the government, according to the Congressional Budget Office, will see deficits until 2010 at a minimum. Nor will his proposal hasten our economic recovery from this recession. The federal deficit this year is estimated to reach a historical $400 billion. If the war with Iraq continues longer than expected, the cost will climb even higher. Republicans used to attack Democrats as tax-and-spend liberals. That label now sounds far more responsible and respectable than the increasingly accurate borrow-and-spend conservative. If the consequences to our country were not so serious, this deficit would be amusing. Instead, we, our children and our children's children will pay for this financial foolishness.

BETCO received only 31 percent of its available tax abatement and had to repay $13,957 in principal and interest for its land. While the company's capital investment exceeded projections, the gross annual payroll and number of employees did not. C.F. Jordan received only 28 percent of its available tax abatement because the building it built in the College Station Business Park, where Prodigene is located, is only 28 percent leased. One EDC official said the lapses in performance, which were prompted largely by the national economic slump, don't mar the program's merit. Last year, capital generated by the companies exceeded the projected amounts by 34 percent, payroll was 30 percent higher and employment was 29 percent higher. "The overall program continues to be strong and it brings an increase in jobs and in people spending money," said Bob Malaise, the EDC's senior vice president for administration. "I feel the companies are committed. They are just in a situation where the conditions aren't real strong right now." Three companies have completed their contractual obligations. So far this year, the EDC has approved one incentive package: $66,000 in cash to FMA Alliance, a debt collection services company that plans to create 68 jobs this year and 53 next year. If FMA meets its projections, it will receive the first of three $22,000 payments on its one-year anniversary of occupying lease space at 700 University Drive. Brazos County Judge Randy Sims said he was pleased that the system includes an avenue for recouping tax dollars. "This is good because we're holding their feet to the fire," Sims said. "And to be honest, I don't think it has slowed us down one bit as far as bringing in other businesses." Sims also lauded Universal Computing Systems, which he called the flagship of the program. "When it's done right, it really benefits the whole area," he said.

"We've already been told we don't get off for Easter until we get the �.. budget passed, so that's incentive to get it done," he said. From there, the session will wind down and will probably generate the fewest number of bills in several years, Brown said. Most of the Brazos County contingent — nearly 70 school, municipal, county and business leaders — traveled to Austin by chartered bus. After the contingent was recognized from the House and Senate floors, members split into smaller groups to deliver to the offices of every state senator and representative copies of a pamphlet outlining the group's stance on six key issues. Ron Gay, chairman of the chamber board, said the organizers have learned something from each trip to visit legislators in Austin and Washington, D.C. "We used to just go see our own elected officials, the ones we have personal relationships with," Gay said, "but we realized it is just as important for us to see the other people who serve on these committees so when key items come up for a vote we have a better chance of them remembering us and considering what we said." Cowboy Davis, a lawyer who was a state representative from 1967-71 and a lobbyist for one term, said the pamphlets outlining the group's legislative goals was a succinct way to convey the area's needs. "And just the fact that these people have gone to the trouble to come all the way to Austin and make the rounds to all these offices does have an impact," he said. One of the six issues highlighted on the group's agenda was a more equitable system of funding public education. Gov. Rick Perry has announced plans for a special session, possibly in the late fall or early next year, to address only the public school financing system, Brown said. He said Perry promised to produce a plan for consideration by June 3. "He said we will like the plan, but that's all he said today," Brown said. "But the thing we have to bear in mind is even if a plan is great, it has to pass muster with the court system." Two resolutions authored by Ogden that could speed up construction projects around the Brazos Valley were approved by the Senate on Wednesday. One would allow the state's Permanent School Fund to loan money to the transportation department to buy right-of-way for road improvements.

Opinions 0-Politics "And we'll give A&M the ability to increase tuition to make up for that," said egion/State Ogden, a Republican from Bryan. "We want to create a situation where Schools Sports A&M can recoup that loss through a tuition increase, but at the same time Subscriptions we don't want them to set it so high that it excludes potential students." Weather State Rep. Fred Brown brought his own messages of hope during a hotel luncheon with the Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce group. The county's two other legislators, Ogden and state Rep. Robby Cook, were unable to attend. Brown said A&M will recover a total of about $20 million from direct funding and from a plan that allows higher education institutions to defer principal payments on tuition revenue bonds issued after March 31, 2003. The schools would only be responsible for paying the interest during the 2004-05 biennium. Brown also said the appropriations committee approved full funding of a Texas Teacher Retirement System contribution instead of requiring the school districts to fund part of it, as proposed. That change saved the Bryan school district $300,000 and the College Station school district $200,000, Brown said. He also said cuts to the state's health and human services programs are down to about 5.5 percent statewide, which means funding for the L Children's Health Insurance Program is secure. The session's most serious work begins next week, Brown said, when the http://www.theeagle.com/campaign2000/localregional/041003austin.htm 4/10/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle >Records > Obituaries Page 2 of 2 For Nantucket, residents are concerned with outside traffic flowing through a proposed extension of Harper's Ferry Drive to Castlegate, also at Greens L� Prairie Road.

"That's something we don't want to do. I think that will be our biggest challenge as we move on in the next three or four years will be to stay at that level or exceed it." He said there is a strong possibility class sizes could increase to avoid adding additional staff, capital improvements may have to be put off and teacher raises, which are anticipated at 3 percent, may be smaller. But he said, he will work to ensure teachers have all the resources needed to make sure the district's students are successful. Strawn said she wants to work to make sure money goes to cover the basics before focusing on other areas. Unless the legislature shows more leadership and works to change the current funding system, she said, it will be very hard for the district to do all the things it wants to. She said she can bring outside-the-box thinking to the school board and help search for new solutions that have not been tried yet. "When you're new at something, you're a recent convert who has a lot more enthusiasm," Strawn said. "There's a mentality ... that if the new person comes in and says let's try this, then maybe the old-timers say, `We've tried that before and it didn't work.' Well, maybe you didn't have the right people doing it or it wasn't the right time." Both candidates acknowledged extracurricular activities may be among the first programs to suffer if additional cuts are needed. Chaloupka said one solution may be to raise money for the programs in the same way the district's education foundation has for teacher initiatives. "I think we're going to have to see more of that, whether it's corporate or community support for different types of programs," he said. "It may be through the foundation or it may be through underwriting different programs, like the orchestra program, the fine arts program or even the athletic program." Strawn also said it may be necessary to ask community members for help, especially if it prevents families from having to pay participation fees for their children to be part of an extracurricular group. But she said it may not be easy and the only way to ensure change is to put pressure on the state's elected officials. "On a pessimistic side, we're looking at everyone having a tough time so finding people who are going to be able to do that corporate sponsorship is going to be a challenge," she said. • Christopher Ferrell's e-mail address is cferrellntheeagle.com. ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle Privacy Statement http://www.theeagle.com/campaign2000/localregional/042103place 1 race.htm 4/23/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle > Politics > Local/Regional Page 1 of 2 3 � theelo%*nlexom a :91:11 fM Home I Classifieds Aggiesports.com j BrazosS ports.corn I Subscribe Contact ( Site Map Politics Politics > Local/Regional Local/Regional Register to Vote April 21, 2003 State/National Your Representatives Site Sections Funding main issue in Place 1 race A&M News Agriculture By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL Announcements Business&Technology Eagle Staff Writer Classifieds Columnists Incumbent College Station school board member Marc Chaloupka is being Community challenged by homemaker Gari Strawn in a race where both candidates The Eagle say teachers must be given the tools to succeed, even with budget Entertainment shortfalls and surrendered tax dollars.

Strawn said she can bring a wealth of time and new ideas to the Schools board to aid in communication between trustees and employees. Sports Subscriptions With budget cuts eminent, a number of key issues face trustees including Weather the impact on extra curricular activities, maintaining or improving the level of education and the construction of new schools. Chaloupka, who manages the Bush Presidential Conference Center, said his six years of experience on the board's finance and facilities committees will be a strong asset to the future of College Station schools. "I think my experience on the board — and before coming on the board — helps considerably in that area," he said. "I think I have something to lend to the future of the district." Strawn, a 43-year old homemaker, said she decided to run for the school board after gaining custody last year of her murdered sister's children. With the children adjusting well to their new surroundings, Strawn said she wants to use her ability as a "mover and shaker" to help the district. "We do a lot of good," she said. "But one of the things the teachers and everyone, I think, says is there needs to be more communication. That would be a strength that I am bringing: The time reach out." Chaloupka, 51, said one of the most important issues facing the district over the next few years will be trying to build on the strong performances by its students, which has been tough for other cash-strapped districts. http://www.theeagle.com/campaign2000/localregional/042103place 1 race.htm 4/23/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Classifieds Page 9 of 10 Abogado Municipal 4-23-03 THE STATE OF TEXAS TO: WILLIAM FOERSTER AND THE UNKNOWN HEIRS AT LAW OF IVA M.

"You immerse yourself in the process for awhile in the beginning and you learn where everything fits into place." Wareing compared serving on the council with playing team sports. "Our vision is shared, to make this the best community it can possibly be, and the council's job is to make sure that process is done as openly as possible so the citizens are aware and can have input," he said. "It's really working well as a group that matters." Wareing said he favors growth and development. He also would like to see the city and school district work together more closely. Williams said she would like to take an active role in helping College Station build a stronger partnership with the city of Bryan. "What I would like to do is to facilitate mending that rift or whatever it is that exists," she said. "I am a trained facilitator. I have facilitated all over the country, and I've been doing it for 15 years. I am a people person. I am trained to do that, and I'd like to be able to do that." • Kelli Levey's e-mail address is klevevng,theeasle.com. ©2000 - 2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle Privacy Statement y http://www.theeagle.com/campalgn2000/localregional/042303place3race.htm 4/23/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle > Politics > Local/Regional Page 2 of 3 focus is too narrow for her Quote: "College Station is such a interests. fantastic place to live, I just want to help "I want to contribute in a bring more recognition and respect to broader sense," she said.

Wareing, 29, said he doesn't have any particular areas he would like to address if elected other than helping the city maintain and continue to improve the "quality of life issues" in this community. "I just want to step up to the plate," he said. "College Station is such a fantastic place to live. I just want to help bring more recognition and respect to this diamond in the rough." Wareing said his flexible schedule and his ties to various aspects of the community would benefit the council. He is vice president of investments at UBS/PaineWebber and serves on the College Station ISD Education Foundation board, the Arts Council of Brazos Valley board and as treasurer of professional football player Keith Mitchell's charitable foundation. "I would contribute youth and vitality and a willingness to work toward a consensus," he said. "And with the freedom I have in my job, I can go out • and meet people whenever they want." Williams works at the Agricultural Research Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, managing the design and construction of research facilities in four states. She said she favors forming groups comprised of residents to discuss issues with city staff and council members. "The issues are whatever the citizens demand — whatever they bring forward," she said. "I don't presume to know what anyone wants. I wait until they tell me." Two key groups Williams said she would like to target are the young and the elderly. She served four years on the advisory committee for the Lincoln Recreation Center, two years as treasurer and two years as chairman. "We have a lot more retirees moving here, so senior housing and programs should be a focus of the council," she said. "We should be finding out what they want and need." The private sector, she said, would develop such projects. Wareing said though he has only attended one council meeting in recent years, he believes he could quickly learn how the organization operates. http://www.theeagle.com/campaign2000/localregional/042303place3race.htm 4/23/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle > Politics > Local/Regional Page 1 of 3 'thee com .4-sr-ribe today! s Home I Classifieds Aggiesports.com BrazosSports.com Subscribe j Contact Site Map Politics Politics > Local/Regional Local/Regional Register to vote April 23, 2003 State/National Your Representatives Site Sections Newcomers seek continuity in College Station A&M News Agriculture services Announcements Business&Technology By KELLI LEVEY Classifieds Eagle Staff Writer Columnists Community The Eagle Carolyn Williams and Robert Get to know the candidates Entertainment Wareing are both newcomers Faith&Values to municipal government who Carolyn Williams Food want a shot at College Station Health&Fitness City Council's Place 3, which Age: 42 Kids Korner Lifestyles Winnie Garner will vacate after Newspapers in Education this month.

It's the background they take [to City Hall] that to me is important for the voter to decide." The No. 1 issue facing the city, as identified by each candidate, is how to deal with the current economic climate. In the face of possible budget cuts at Texas A&M, Massey sees the city as responsible for maintaining a high level of core services. "We're working to try to keep those services as high a quality as possible," he said. "And to keep from raising taxes or anything else."

Reynolds said. The fourth and final issue that both identified was the continued expansion of intergovernmental relations between Bryan and College Station. Massey, citing his four years with the Intergovernmental Committee, said communication is key to furthering the relationship between the two cities. "The last four years has been a very intense growth time for that relationship," Massey said. "Certainly we have to work on it, and to keep looking for new ways to work together, but we are talking better now, in the last four years, than the two cities have ever."

He truly loves Bryan and wants the best for the city. I hope everyone who lives in District 5 will take the time to get out and vote to elect Ben Hardeman to represent our area. LINDA LEE EVANS Bryan His word is his bond For the past few weeks, I've been reading the quotes from the candidates for Bryan City Council and one quote from Russell Bradley is irritating and incorrect. Bradley claims that he crafted a seven-year plan to resurface the streets of Bryan and he's taking credit for it. Wondering where exactly the status of that plan was, I did some checking and found out that the city of Bryan never adopted Bradley's plan so it doesn't officially exist. If Bradley had a plan, the outcome was that it was never adopted or officially funded by the Bryan City Council while he served his term there. So, his "claim" to have been the initiator and "brains" of that goal was about as the thin as the porcelain veneer on a bonded tooth. But then again, that's consistent with what Bradley was about —flash in the pan claims with no substance behind them. Bradley was the one who voted this taxpayer into a city budget that has plunged millions of dollars into things that I'm willing to bet Bradley had no clue about long-term impact. Someone told him that Traditions would be a good project for the city — it was good all right, but for Texas A&M, the university Bradley claims to love dearly. The Traditions project has a big A&M seal on it but not a thing saying "city of Bryan." So, Bradley "gifted" A&M with a big new Jack Nicklaus golf course. Pretty generous with my money was this elected official. While Bradley had his three-year term, he made other decisions just like that — for image, no substance, veneer, and nothing to back it up. On May 3, I'm voting for Mitch Morehead because his word is his bond, and his smile isn't false.

Tony Bruner, leasing manager of the Campus Lodge, has been working with student housing for the past 20 years. "At this stage of the year, you want to have about 30 percent of your leases signed, and we're meeting that goal," she said. "Who knows what we'll see with apartments in five years time — car washes, gas stations and convenience stores within the complex?" • Margot Denney's e-mail address is mdenney@theeagle.co ©2000 -2003 The Bryan -College Station Eagle Privacy Statement (W http://www.thecagle.com/businesstechnology/030903developers.htm 3/10/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Page 2 of 3 Bridget Cornish, leasing manager for Aggie Station. The prices at the complexes vary according to size of the apartment, with the cheapest rooms being in the four-bedroom apartments. At Campus Lodge, a room in a four-bedroom unit will cost $402 per month. At Aggie Station, it will cost $409. And at The Cambridge, students will pay $940 per room, with electricity and unlimited meals included. On-campus dorm rooms at Texas A&M range between $1 ,000 and $1,900 per semester, without meals. Jack Harris, a research economist with Texas A&M University's Real Estate Center, said he was surprised by the rents at the new apartments. "I think these types of facilities will be more successful with the more affluent students, and the cost is relatively minor compared with the total cost of college today," Harris said. "But there are also a lot of students trying to get an education on a budget, so there will remain a demand for cheap accommodations." According to Branson, the older complexes adapt to the new players by offering sweeteners to attract students. "Forty-two percent of apartments offer the first month rent-free and 21 percent give away prizes, sometimes up to a cruise," he said. "The better quality apartments still have 100 percent occupancy, but some of the older apartments are well-maintained and keep their prices low." Florida-based Campus Development Group is building the Campus Lodge apartments on Wellborn Road in Bryan. The $20 million Bryan development is the company's fifth apartment complex and first outside of Florida and Georgia. Jason Fort, co-owner of Campus Development Group, says he first came into Bryan two years ago and was encouraged by the available land and growing student population at Blinn College. "I realize A&M may have capped their undergraduate numbers, but having a secondary college like Blinn really helps," Fort said. Joe Goodwin, the leasing director for the Cambridge, touts the units there as a hybrid of apartments and dormitories. "Our residents will have everything they need right on site, including a cyberlounge, cafe and games room," he said. The three complexes already have been heavily marketed to students at Blinn and Texas A&M. "Our market is really aimed at the freshmen, who don't receive their letters of acceptance until April or May, whereas other facilities pitch themselves http://www.theeagle.com/businesstechnology/030903developers.htm 3/10/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle Page 1 of 3 todn ! :txt.a Home Classifieds Aggiesports.com I BrazosSports.com Subscribe Contact Business&Technology Business & Technology Chambers of Commerce Columnists March 9, 2003 Strictly Business Technology Site Sections Local developers bringing student housing to A&M News Agriculture a new level Announcements Business&Technology By MARGOT DENNEY Classifieds Eagle Staff Writer Columnists Community The Eagle A new era of upscale student Entertainment housing is about to dawn in Faith&Values the Bryan-College Station 00, Food area with the construction of Health&Fitness three dormitory-style '• Kids Korner apartments designed to Lifestyles s + Newspapers in Education appeal to the well-heeled Obituaries college student.

The Cambridge adds maid service, movie theaters and all meals, while Aggie Station has tanning beds and cable television in every room.

For the fourth election in a row, the citizens of this community will have to endure the platform, now represented by Russell Bradley and Ben Hardeman, that is based solely on the belief that Don Adam had no right to question Bryan's investment in the Traditions project. I would like these gentlemen to tell me what business owner in this community would welcome the city as a direct competitor. Don Adam had every right to pursue the course of action he has taken and every business owner, in similar situations, would do the same. How long do we have to listen to this whining blame game of lies, accusations and half-truths? Don Adam is not the problem and should not be made the scapegoat for poor decisions made by past city leaders, of which Bradley was part. Please, gentlemen, tell the citizens of Bryan something you have a "vision" for, other than failed hotel and struggling golf course projects, which have cost the taxpayers millions. Don Adam's commitment to our community can easily be viewed by driving around the Miramont Development and witnessing first-hand the level of quality and detail he places in every project he touches. Name another developer who is contributing to our areas growth on the same magnitude with his own money. The citizens of Bryan I have spoken with appreciate that Miramont is the first development in years not requiring support of city tax dollars. The voters of Bryan deserve better than the same old tired rhetoric being offered by Bradley and Hardeman. Bryan faces real problems, and it will take strong, disciplined, financially sound decision making to effectively address those problems. Bryan simply can't afford to repeat the failures of past councilmen like Bradley and Hardeman. MIKE HARRIS College Station Not a politician Once again, all of the "regulars" are writing in to badmouth the candidates who support growth on the west side of Bryan. Thus far, the only bad things they have to say about Ben Hardeman are that he has a home in "close proximity to the Traditions project" (as do the hundreds of other people who live in District 5). Oh, yes, and that he had lunch with Kandy Rose two years ago — along with Kandy's husband, Ben's wife and daughters, and two other friends — while on his Model T tour to Alaska. Pretty scandalous stuff. I have known and worked for Ben Hardeman for years and have always found him to be honest and trustworthy. He treated his customers and his employees with respect and he ran the business in a way that was fair to ,"or all involved.

DICK BIRDWELL College Station Getting the picture Coming from a big city to Bryan was a move my family made to improve our quality of life. As a relatively new member of the community I could not understand why the people of Bryan were so hard on former Police Chief Burton. have watched the city council meetings on television to try to understand what is going on. With the upcoming city elections, I have read the letters to the editor and now I see. Based on Beth Price's letter, the pieces are falling into place. I guess the unnamed influential citizen so concerned with the Bryan Police Department is Beth Price. She connected the dots for me with her endorsement of Mitch Morehead and Art Hughes. If citizens of Bryan are angry that the chief of police was run off for trying to serve our city based on citizen input, you must vote for city leaders who will not interfere with the police department and fire department. If you want Beth Price and Mitch Morehead running the police department according to Don Adam's rules, Morehead is apparently your obvious choice. Morehead and Beth Price started a "survey" vote of no confidence. When the survey supported the chief, they questioned the way the survey was conducted and still ran the chief out of town. The vote of no confidence should go for Adam's boy Mitch Morehead. I guess Don Adam will continue to purchase seats on the council until he has enough votes to be declared king. Morehead should be keeping his and the rest of the council out of police department and fire department business according to civil service law and his oath of office. A vote for Bradley and Hardeman is apparently the only way to make sure local government can not influence the police and fire departments. A. S.

SHIRLEY YEAGER Bryan Experience gained This past year, Nancy Simpson accepted an appointment to the Bryan school board to finish the second year of a three-year vacated term. Nancy is now seeking election to the position for the final year of this term. During this year, she has worked diligently to become familiar with our district, its operations and programs. Nancy is extremely qualified, not only because of her experience on the board, but because of the other assets she brings to the position. During the 21 years I have known Nancy Simpson, she has been an involved parent in Bryan schools at all grade levels, having two children who have graduated and one currently enrolled at Bryan High School. In addition, her professional experience as a teacher and as the director of the Center for Teaching Excellence at Texas A&M gives her exceptional insight into the needs of both classroom teachers and students. Nancy desires to utilize the knowledge that she has acquired as an active member of the board during the past months to meet the fiscal and programmatic challenges of the district during the final year of this term. In doing this, she wishes to lead Bryan schools in serving the students, parents and teachers to provide a quality and well-rounded educational experience for all of the children of Bryan. I encourage you to join me in voting for Nancy Simpson for Place 5 on the Bryan school board. RONNIE JACKSON Bryan College Station vision For the last few years the College Station City Council has suffered for lack of business experience. Several of the bad business decisions of the council are: building a 725 car parking garage in spite of clear evidence that it would not pay for itself, diverting funds collected to pay for drainage capital improvements to maintenance, including 137 acres of vacant land in the Convention Center Tax Increment District so there will be no ad valorem taxes from this land to pay for normal city services, and making a decision to build a second business park based on an analysis that does not include the interest cost on the borrowed money. On long-term projects such as the business park, interest cost can be 50 percent to 100 percent of the total cost. http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042603letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions > Letters to the Editor Page 2 of 7 members express on the welfare of some of our citizens who are unfortunately on the low end of the economic scale. We need a council that places a high priority on meeting the needs of the citizens and the community. I support Carolyn Williams because I know that her first priority is building a strong community that includes the appropriate economic development initiatives. Carolyn is indeed interested in growth only if it is compatible with excellent living conditions. Her record on the Planning and Zoning Commission speaks for itself— citizens first. She is also very familiar with the organization and proper functions of the city council. She can go to work right away and be effective. There is no learning curve. Her mechanical engineering degree with honors from Prairie View A&M University and her work success prove that she is fully capable. She has been a model citizen who, in addition to working with the city, has volunteered to work with the Parks and Recreation Department for four years. Carolyn is a proven mature leader who will not shy away from tough decisions. A vote for Carolyn Williams is a vote for our community and for continued progress for College Station. CHARLES A. SIPPIAL Sr. College Station Independent voice My neighbor, Ben Hardeman, is running for election to the Bryan City Council and I have been following this campaign a little more closely than I might have otherwise. Art Hughes, who is running against Ben in this election, claims that he is in favor of supporting the Traditions project. In fact, he was even quoted in The Eagle on April 22 as , "I think that the worst thing we could do right now is to try to put the brakes on Traditions." Yet he is the managing broker of TAC Realty, the company that has sued the city of Bryan to stop the project. Hughes claimed in a recent interview that the lawsuit was "only to gather information" which is ridiculous. TAC had received 3,487 pages of documents from the city under the Open Records Act prior to filing the suit. The lawsuit itself says that "... TAC Realty files this action to prevent the city of Bryan and its City Council from continuing to implement ... a high-end golf course development project known as the Tradition Development." There is nothing in there about getting information. TAC Realty, its manager Art Hughes and its owner Don Adam want that project stopped. Art Hughes manages the company that filed the lawsuit. Now he claims that he is in favor of completing the project, but the lawsuit still stands. http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042603letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions >Letters to the Editor Page 1 of 7 979.776.2345 irne �i 7"/ Nbscribe today!

"Anything this study can do to encourage cooperation between the two cities and achieve economies of scale will be all to the good, especially during these leaner times," he said. "Especially since the Economic Development Corporation is trying to have this region become known as Research Valley, there should be a slightly more global, less parochial approach to the services offered in the Bryan-College Station area." Jeweler Jesse Montelongo said he was encouraged by the study's revelation of the various ways the two cities already coordinate efforts. "I think that's probably the best way to do it in the short term without getting into political battles," he said. "The more the two communities can work together, the better it is for everyone who lives here." Montelongo said local small businesses could benefit from a proposal for the two cities' purchasing departments to share vendor lists and databases and use a common purchasing manual and commodity codes. Improved marketing efforts also would benefit local businesses and taxpayers, Montelongo suggested. "The more retail we see in our community, the more hotel stays and • people coming in, the better off we all because that generates money for everyone," he said. Montelongo said he liked the chamber's method for collecting the information. The team of researchers met with directors of several departments in both cities and gathered information on budget, personnel, services provided and current and potential cooperative efforts. "Getting a third party, the Bush school, to study it is a big step in the right direction," he said. "That showed a willingness to be open, when the cities shared their data. And the fact that the researchers looked at other cities of similar size added some context for the information and helped us all understand just what we have here." Peters said he also was pleased with the process and the results, which were presented in a format that summarized current alliances and made suggestions for additional collaborative efforts. "I thought the students made a very good presentation and they showed a great deal of professionalism, polish and also some political astuteness," Peters said. Manuel Gonzalez, owner and general manager of Sterling Auto Group, said he hasn't been in this area long enough to understand why the two ti.. cities couldn't merge outright.

Taxes seldom go down and introducing another method of taking money from the public will only take more money from the public. Add all the forms of tax that are currently skimmed from John Q. Public — don't forget all the excise, sales, franchise, property and income taxes. I also question who living in Texas is not living in or on property subject to property tax? Except for churches, schools, government and other exempt entities, property tax is assessed on all real property. Does the board believe an apartment dweller's rent does not go to pay property tax? An equitable tax, not hidden, not buried, that all taxpayers are fully aware of and have a vote, is fair. Let's not create more deception and slight of hand by instituting another form of taxation unless we get rid of other taxes in their entirety. PAUL B.

They are now used to justify a new state income tax to abolish ad valorem taxes as we know them (Eagle, April 20). With 42 states facing insolvency despite ad valorem, sales and state income taxes, new taxes and fees seem the inevitable panaceas for past Republican fiscal mismanagement in Texas. Those proposing a new state income tax may be ignorant "of reality and of history" as Jane Fonda said of pro-war recrudescence in America. The Texas reality: All public money collected from new taxes, fees and gambling did not make it to the public classrooms, as promised. Eighteen years ago the Legislature outlawed elementary classroom overcrowding. Waivers every year were asked by 800 elementary schools in Texas, including in Bryan. Concurrently, the education "crisis" doesn't include $10 million salaries for college football coaches or branch state university campuses in Japan, Italy and, now, Qatar. Although touted at nonstate expense, the branches will cost the state in absent professors and staff, travel time, and highly paid state university administrators involved in the planning and staffing outside the boundaries (W of Texas. In summary, Texans have always held grandiose ideas for the public purse strings to finance. A "world university" for A&M was proposed by outgoing Chancellor M.T. Harrington in 1965. Today's reality in Texas — from an historic standpoint — makes a world university and globalism a fiscal fallacy: 21.8 million Texans — through a new income tax or any other — should not be compelled to pay higher education costs outside Texas. Otherwise, Texas should be dropped from A&M's title and perhaps, A&M International University substituted instead. E.N. RUTHERFORD Bryan Lack of honest depth The editorial (Eagle, April 20) on a state income tax to fund public education is interesting in lack of honest depth. The editorial said many lawmakers admit privately that an income tax devoted to education would be best yet it fails to give evidence such as one name. I would agree that a state income tax is an alternative from of taxation, but not necessarily the best. http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042803letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions > Letters to the Editor Page 5 of 7 We're not undertaxed —we're overspent. W.J. "BILL" BATCHELOR College Station Following God's word Between the word of the Editorial Board of The Eagle and the word of God, which should I follow? Genesis 19: 4-7 says, " Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom — both young and old — surrounded the house. They called to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them' Lot went outside and shut the door behind him and said, 'No, friends. Don't do this wicked thing.' " Leviticus 18: 22 warns, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; p that is detestable." I The above are obviously from the Old Testament and contained in the law but Christ fulfilled the law and mankind obtains forgiveness through His blood sacrifice. But does the New Testament condone homosexual acts a resounding no. The sexual urge is certainly extremely strong but it is resistible. Men have resisted for years out of adherence to God's will and condemnation of adultery. At least at one time adultery as well as homosexual activity violated the regulations contained in the manual of military justice. Priests have both obeyed and violated their vows of celibacy. Should the police intrude into the bedrooms of the United States without a search warrant? Certainly not. Should a search warrant be issued where homosexuality is suspected? Certainly not. But there are limits to the "privacy of the bedroom." Are we to accept "bedroom privacy" in the face of spousal abuse when neither party lodges a complaint? Should we seek to ferret out homosexuality? No. But I don't want it thrown in my face, either. go with God's word rather than the word of The Eagle. BOB SPOEDE College Station NQ.

The second candidate comes in with preconceived ideas, doesn't even want to see where you are, and tells you where you are going, without any explanations or concrete plans on how to get there. The difference is clear. The first candidate is the one you would trust with your financial future. The voters in the city of Bryan will make the same choice on May 3 in the City Council election. The direction that Bryan will go is in our hands when we vote to elect either Russell Bradley or Mitch Morehead. The city's future will be guided by one of these two men. Vote to re-elect Mitch Morehead, the man we can trust with our future. He'll continue to do the right things for the city as he has for three years. BRYAN STEWART Bryan All the Chicken Littles Do you ever wonder how some people make it out of bed each morning? I . call these would-be prophets the "Chicken Little" people of our society — those who are always claiming the sky is falling. Take, for example, all the liberal naysayers who predicted the worst about the U.S. liberation of Iraq. This list would include Chris Matthews ("This invasion of Iraq, if it goes off, will join the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, Desert One, Beirut and Somalia in the history of military catastrophe") and actress Janeane Garofalo, who noted, "If we invade Iraq, there's a United Nations estimate that says there will be up to a half a million people killed or wounded." The United Nations is certainly exposed for what it is: a hopelessly inept debating society whose sole purpose is to bring down America and its capitalistic economy. Locally, we have our own Chicken Littles. Mark Clayton (Eagle, April 11) informs us that real Americans want to dump President Bush. What planet is he from? Then there's my friend Larry Oliver (Eagle, April 10). He claims a "disaster" (translation: we're going to slow spending this year) because of "religious zealots" (translation: people who go to church and vote) who want to "censor" everything (translation: there's conservatives making decisions instead of liberals). Here's the deal. American children are not being taught to read properly in public schools. A four-year study of 35 countries placed American fourth graders ninth in overall reading achievement, behind Bulgaria (fourth), Latvia (fifth) and Lithuania ,► (seventh) as well as England and Canada. In addition, since 1978 the Texas budget has grown more than 600 percent. Even over the past decade, we have seen the budget increase 125 percent. http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042803letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions > Letters to the Editor Page 3 of 7 record of service to our community, experience in city government and a vision for a prosperous, growing and livable city of Bryan.

BANKS-WATSON College Station Less onerous Upon reflection, I support the editorial calling for a state income tax in lieu of property taxes to support education in Texas (Eagle, April 20). 1 would even include higher education in the tax. The easiest income tax to implement is a piggyback tax based on the U.S. federal income tax. Most states use it. I don't know how it would affect my pocket book, but it would be less onerous on most Texans than an increase or expansion of the sales tax. JAMES W.

JOHNNY LYON Bryan Record of service Serving on the Bryan Council for the past six years, I have worked with Russell Bradley and his opponent. Russell Bradley has only the best interest for all the citizens of Bryan at heart. He is honest, diligent, has a broad vision for the future of Bryan and has integrated programs to that • end. Ben Hardeman has a clear record of independence, service to community and has distinguished himself as an outstanding businessman. His desire to again represent the citizens of Bryan is to be commended knowing the extensive hours and time commitment involved. Last year, there were approximately 2,000 new homes built in the county, but only 300 were built in Bryan. Without new neighborhoods, our schools will begin to suffer and businesses will not locate in Bryan, reducing our sales tax base as well as ad valorem taxes. Without growth in these areas, the overall budget suffers and that affects the city's ability to address important infrastructure items such as streets, police and fire protection. If we want better streets, there are only two ways of paying for them: expanding the tax base with new developments or higher taxes. Traditions is about economic development, expanding our tax base and increasing property values. Traditions is about keeping high-income families in Bryan by giving them multiple housing choices. Upon completion it will create an estimated captured assessed valuation of more than $330 million for the city and Bryan schools. We have already begun seeing the benefits on Villa Maria Road with other residential subdivisions and a $4 million office building under construction.

While important to the citizens, I am sure all candidates are for improving basic services. However, the candidate I find who has the vision and love for the city to bring it to its potential is Russell Bradley. His support for the La Salle Hotel and Traditions golf course reflect his confidence in the city to be successful. The Traditions course will bring in college teams as well as out of towners and thus bring revenues to Bryan. The Traditions course is taking so long to build due to all the roadblocks the Miramont crowd are throwing in order to keep out the competition. One thing Bryan has that College Station does not is a downtown with it's history and unique atmosphere. Taking chances on change is the only way to bring growth and prosperity to the city. The La Salle may not be making money yet, but that doesn't mean it will not in the future. Bryan has a lot to offer and I am glad to have the choice for City Council to vote for someone who wants the city to grow and improve. Russell Bradley is that choice. BINI MOORE Bryan Wealth of knowledge College Station is blessed to have so many candidates who care deeply about the future of this community and are willing run for public office. The May elections are Saturday and I pray that citizens will exercise their rights and go to the polls to cast a vote for their candidates. I have known James Massey for many years and have had the opportunity to work with him both on the council and when he was chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission. I know him to be a man of integrity and willing to listen to all sides of an issue before casting his vote. While both candidates in the Place 1 are strong, committed citizens, James brings a wealth of knowledge and history to this position. Since there are several on-going projects to be completed and with at least three new or nearly new members on the council, that experience is important in this race. I hope all citizens will take time this week to vote and I ask you to please consider your support for James Massey for Place 1. LYNN McILHANEY College Station Vision for the future Bryan Voters, please vote for Russell Bradley for at-large Place 6, and if you live in Single Member District 5, vote for Ben Hardeman. http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042903letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions > Letters to the Editor Page 5 of 7 ROSEMARY VOLLMAR Bryan Honest, reasonable I support Mitch Morehead and Art Hughes for Bryan City Council because they are honest and reasonable business men. I count both of these men as friends and know that they are committed to serving the city with integrity and common sense leadership. Mitch and Art have endured ridiculous attacks on their character from Russell Bradley and Ben Hardeman. These accusations are false and misleading statements about different opinions on the La Salle Hotel and Traditions projects. The LaSalle required more than $400,000 of city funding just to keep the doors open last year. The city has currently invested more than $23.3 million in Traditions and estimates millions more in the near future. These projects truly qualify as money pit projects because there is no realistic or significant revenue stream in sight from the La Salle or Traditions that can service this debt. I believe the most important issue in this campaign is the philosophy • behind the concepts that created these projects. The voters must decide whether these ideas are good or bad for the future of Bryan. These ideas will determine how the city will work through the current problems with these projects and the many other issues that the council must deal with. Bradley and Hardeman support the philosophy that produced the La Salle and Traditions. Although Mitch and Art do not agree with that philosophy, they are committed to resolving the current problems and moving these projects forward. I trust Mitch and Art to make reasonable and sensible decisions for the future of Bryan. Please join me in supporting Mitch Morehead and Art Hughes for Bryan City Council. JODY QUIMBY Bryan Help the city improve I moved to Bryan one year ago after living in College Station for 10 years. I have watched College Station grow and prosper, building new neighborhoods and businesses. Bryan seems to be of two minds: one to keep the status quo, and the other to make Bryan to the city it has the . potential to be. Both cities have potholes and parks to keep up with, and both will continue to do so. According to one letter to The Eagle, those types of problems are http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042903letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions > Letters to the Editor Page 4 of 7 Don Adam's little puppets should not keep trying to stop progress on the Traditions golf course. They have tried everything they can think of to slow it down. Too bad Art Hughes doesn't have Kandy Rose to think for him. Kandy 9 Y Y doesn't try to think for other people and she doesn't need one man and his money to think for her. When she was in Bryan, she was for all the people of Bryan. Russell Bradley and Ben Hardeman will work for all the people of Bryan not just one man. Johnny Lyon (Eagle, April 28) claimed he didn't sling mud when he was running for council, but he didn't have to because Adam's followers slung enough for him. As for him going to talk with Adam about his skills to run for councilman, if you are Don Adam's man you need no skills except to vote Don Adam's way. I would like to ask all my friends, neighbors, and relatives to vote for Russell Bradley and Ben Hardeman — two voices for all the people. Both have a vision for Bryan. MARIE RICHARD f Bryan Not on the ballot Whoa, citizens of Bryan I voted early and to and behold, banker Don Adam was not on the ballot. So why is his name in much of Russell Bradley's and Ben Hardeman's campaign literature? The banker who is involved with Bradley is Tim Bryan. In The Eagle on May 1, 2001, Bryan wrote about my friends and myself, saying that we were a "grotesque collection of de-annexers, sore losers, hired henchmen, anti-Tradition activists and of course the occasional `nut' or two." Now, think back to 1999 when Bradley was running for city council and annexation was the hot topic. Remember Bradley saying at one of the candidate forums that he had to "decide for the citizens of Bryan" to go forward with the annexation. What. The citizens of Bryan can't think for themselves? This election is about accountability, fiscal responsibility, interacting with one's constituency, balancing the city's budget, acting ethically by excusing yourself from council votes when you have a conflict of interest and realizing that the citizens of Bryan really can make up their own minds. Please vote for Mitch Morehead and Art Hughes to continue this ethical trend in the city of Bryan. http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042903letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions > Letters to the Editor Page 3 of 7 yourself. Investigate the details of our council elections. The Eagle has courageously endorsed Ben Hardeman and Russell Bradley. Isn't it time we did the same? Be an informed voter. VICKI A. FETTE Bryan Willing to listen I disagree with the Editorial Board's recommendation in District 5 of the Bryan school board race (Eagle, April 27). Nancy Simpson holds bachelor's and master's degrees in math and a doctorate in curriculum and instruction with her dissertation research done in depth regarding developmental mathematics. She has been active in parent-teacher organizations, room mother, all the things good parents do for the schools and she has done it all in the Bryan school district. I have worked with Nancy for the past 12 years and I can tell you that there is no finer candidate in this city. She is highly ethical, she is loyal, she cares a great deal about students as individuals. She is a very analytical, yet creative, thinker— looking at the problems, but also seeing solutions. She keeps a cool head and does not make hasty decisions. • Her work at Texas A&M is with teachers, students and curriculum, and she is recognized all over Texas as one of the best faculty developers in the business. She has run national seminars and symposiums on teaching and learning for the past 12 years and her experience is voluminous. She has already been serving on the school board and will not have to be brought up to speed on issues, policy and goals. Most important, she has no problems with her ego and will always put the students of this district first. A vote for Nancy Simpson is a vote for good schools in Bryan. She is open and will listen to all constituents and will always put the students first. LIZ MILLER Bryan Remember when? Remember when we didn't have Jeannette Roman trying to speak for everybody? Remember when we didn't have Don Adam trying to control Bryan and College Station? Remember when Dawn Lee Wakefield didn't have an ax to grind with A&M or with the former City Council? Wouldn't it be nice not to have so many small-minded people with an ax to grind all the time? http://www.theeagle.com/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042903letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 The Bryan-College Station Ea le> Opinions > Letters to the Editor Page 2 of 7 g fiscal responsibility, funding street repairs and ending Conduff's team's wasteful expenditures. (W Question whether Bradley really represents all the citizens of Bryan. A recent campaign filing notes 13 percent of Bradley's contributions from citizens of Bryan. So, 87 percent was from C.F. Jordan himself, Melrose's Ed Spears, two Traditions land owners — the Cashions — and Tom Coyle. It appears Bradley represents a special interest group, and a very wealthy and powerful one, rather than the citizens of Bryan. No wonder Bradley is on the attack. The vendors appear to need him. Morehead and Hughes are not one-issue candidates. Morehead has proven himself to be genuinely concerned about all the citizens of Bryan. Hardeman is aligned with Bradley. Your vote is critical. Please support Mitch Morehead and Art Hughes. CAROLYN LOWRY MONCIVAIS Bryan Ask the questions America treasures its open democracy encouraging free speech and protecting the right of every citizen to question the workings of government. Yet in Bryan, many people are afraid to publicly question the relationship between Don Adam and City Council candidates. That's • disturbing. It's only proper that our focus should be on the candidates or those whose involvement might influence election outcomes. By all indications, Adam is playing an extraordinary role in our local politics for reasons that appear more personal than altruistic. The City Council said "no" to Adam's incessant requests to stop development or alter its position on Traditions (so did a judge, in fact). Since then, Adam and others appear to be carrying out a personal vendetta against members who dared disagree with him. Councilmen are being systematically replaced by candidates whose campaigns are curiously and absurdly more well-funded. Despite an appeal by The Eagle for Adam to drop his legal pursuits in August 2002, he continues this practice today. Whether you admire Adam as a businessman or as a person is beside the point. The real point is that when any one person has this level of association with elected officials, questions of impartial leadership are only natural. Don't citizens have the obligation to question something that looks so one- sided? Shouldn't we ask ourselves and others why multiple members of our council are more than casually linked with such a powerful citizen who has an ax to grind with the city? Shouldn't we question the workings of this democracy without fear of retribution? Agree or disagree with these issues, but please start asking questions http://www.theeagle.con-/opinions/letterstoeditor/apri103/042903letterstoeditor.htm 4/29/2003 a The Bryan-College Station Eagle> Opinions >Letters to the Editor Page 1 of 7 thve6aglexom 01AA41.

Region/State Schools CHARLES BANKSTON Sports Subscriptions Bryan Weather Vote is critical Ben Hardeman's and Russell Bradley's recent mailed advertisement states only two reasons to vote for either of them: They dislike Don Adam and they support Traditions. The essence of their six reasons not to vote for Mitch Morehead and Art Hughes? Don Adam and Traditions. The record shows that Mitch Morehead supported Traditions and voted to fund infrastructure. He did question the inferior one-sided legal contracts and the city of Bryan's financial exposure, now worse than ever. Any good businessman should. During Bradley's time on the City Council, the street repair budget fell to nothing for several years. The council's lack of oversight allowed Mike Conduff to spend thousands of dollars on training for Carver Governance, lavish expense accounts and charge cards for employees who officed in the same building, yet frequently dined at expensive local restaurants for "city" meetings.
