.mites fill CS skies Saturday C By STEVE VINSON Staff Writer Like the happy ending to the film Lary poppins, the skies over Ander- son Park in College Station filled with cites Saturday afternoon, swooping .and soaring in a crystal- clear, windy extravaganza of fun. At least 65 kids, from infants to teen- agers, participated in the contest, spon- sored by the College Station Parks and Recreation Department. The contest was limited to homemade kites, and a wide assortment of well -made and attractive kites proved you don't need to go to a department store for this kind )f fun. "It's a target activity for young peo- said contest director Sheila 1 _son. "This was something that was real wholesome and get-up-and-go." Despite a stiff 10 mph breeze, kites went up and stayed in one piece. "I think it's better to have more wind than not enough," Mason said, "though it is kind of chilly." Besides contest participants, others brought commercial kites to join in the fun, including one man who had an extra- long - tailed oriental -style kite. The kite twisted in the air like a snake, hissing as it flew. But by far most of the kites were home -made, built for the contest. She said fliers were sent out to Col- lege Station elementary and junior high schools, inviting kids to participate and compete for small trophies. One of the more imposing kites was the 8 -foot by 6 -foot "Eddie bow" kite flown by 11- year -old Todd Mcllhaney. Todd won the award for the largest kite in the 10 -18 age group "It's called an `Eddie bow' kite," said George Mcilhaney, Todd's father. "It's very steady. Some guy named Eddie built it and perfected it back in 1896." The kite, in a traditional diamonc shape, was built of heavy sticks an( Eagle newspapers. The Eagle was flying high today,' George McIlhaney said. Other categories in this, the seventl annual kite contest, were the highes flying kite, most unique kite, smalles kite, steadiest kite without a tail, steadiest kite with a tale, and most ac- tive kite. There was also an award for the youngest kite flier. e The Eagle /Sunday, March 2, 1986 1] 106 Legal Notices BID NOTICE The City of College Station is Accepting Bid(s) For: 5 PASSENGER MINI -VAN (ONE EACH) until 10'00 AM, March 5, 1986, at which time the bids will be opened in the office of the Purchasing Agent at the City Hall.

BID #86 -30 02 -25- 86,03- 04 -RF; The Eagle /Tuesday, March 4, 1986 go Halter files for faculty senate post 01, -I By BRAD OWENS Staff Writer College Station Mayor Gary Halter may be leaving city government but he apparently hasn't had his fill of politics. Halter, who is leaving the City Council after serving three terms as mayor, Monday filed as a candidate for a College of Liberal Arts position in the faculty senate. Larry Ringer, a current senator, last month entered the race to succeed Halter as mayor, and he said Monday he will not run for re- election to the senate. Halter, an associate professor of political science, said he has fol- lowed the actions of the faculty sen- ate closely since it was created in 1983, but he didn't have enough time to serve on both the city council and the senate. Halter said he is interested in several issues that may come before the senate, including revising reg- istration procedures so that faculty will have a larger role in determining course schedules, improving faculty benefits, and expanding the honors program. "I don't really come in with a big agenda, though," Halter said. "I'd just like to contribute." Ten other candidates have filed so far, with a total of 33 seats open. Nominating ends on Friday. Faculty senate candidates can nominate themselves or be nomin- ated by faculty members from their colleges. Absentee voting will be March 24 -28, with the election on April 1 and a runoff election on April 3. The faculty senate was reappor- tioned in December for the first time since its creation. The College of Medicine will have three additional senators this year as a result of the revision which allows doctors with teaching responsibilities to have rep- resentation in the senate. Other reapportionment changes re- sulted in a gain of one seat each in the colleges of veterinary medicine and liberal arts, and losses of two seats in the College of Engineering and one seat each in the colleges of agricul- ture and business. i U >i ro H rs Ga .t~ H 1 Voter registration to end Thursday is the last day to register to vote in Bryan and College Station municipal elections.

Starting at 7 p.m. in City Hall, the commission will hear public comments on two rezoning requests. The first would rezone a 1.1 -acre tract on the north side of University Drive, 200 feet east of Spring Loop, from R -3 — townhouse - rowhouse — to C -1— general com- mercial. The second would rezone a 5.2 -acre tract on the northwest corner of FM 2818 and Longmire Drive from C -1 to C -2 — commercial - industrial. The commission also will consider the Wellborn Road Corridor Study. The study, begun in August and just completed, offers recommendations for future de- velopment in the area bounded by FM 2818 on the south and west, Jersey Street on the north, and Welsh Street on the east. 0 The Eagle /Thursday, March 6, 1986 0 City project pays utilities By JEANNE ISENBERG staff Writer College Station residents who find themselves unable to pay their utility bills don't necessarily have to worry about their electric- ity being shut -off or their garbage being left in front of the house: Project Beacon, sponsored by the City of College Station Utili- ties Department and the Brazos County chapter of the American Red Cross, could be a way out.

The maximum amount of aid given at one time is $400, she says. Participants are not required to pay back the Beacon aid money, Cook says, but many do anyway. Since the program's beginning in September 1985, 53 of the 70 people that applied have been helped, Cook says, accounting for about $8,400 in funding. Beacon began with a $10,000 donation from the City of College Station, Cook says; but pledges and donations from residents of College Station are increasing. "In straight donations we've re- ceived about $740 since our start, and approximately $136 has been committed in monthly pledges through the end of February," she says. A resident can fill out a pledge card and the city will automat- ically add the pledge onto the res- ident's monthly utility bill, Cook says. Any pledges or donations are tax deductible, she says. The Battalion /Friday, March 7, 1986 9 Oft 4 H CS board acts on three zonin g requests q n sz iv n Ow By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer The College Station Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday re- jected one rezoning request — though members couldn't agree what the rejection meant — and approved two others. Commissioners also adopted a study of the Wellborn Road corridor that makes recommendations about future development in the area. The rejected request would rezone a 4.3 -acre tract on Millers Lane near Texas Avenue from R -1 — single - family residential — to C -1 — gener- al commercial. The commission tabled the request on Feb. 20 after property owners in the area com- nlnined about the lack of a buffer between the tract and residential property. At the time, commissioners hoped to find a way to establish a buffer on the tract in question. But the city attorney sent them a memo stating that city ordinances don't permit the commission to make such a require- ment. The staff recommended approval of the rezoning, but Commissioner David Brochu moved to deny it after motions to approve and to table died for lack of a second. The City Coun- cil has asked the commission to ex- plain its denials of rezoning requests, and commission Chairman Ronald Kaiser said the denial stems solely from concern over the lack of a buffer zone. However, Brochu and Commis- sioner Dan MacGilvray seemed dis- satisfied with that explanation, sug- gesting that the denial should include some recognition of the land's suita- bility for commercial development. Kaiser strongly disagreed, and Brochu and MacGilvray didn't press their point. The motion to deny was approved on a 5 -2 vote, with Commissioners Celia Stallings and Mark Paulson dis- senting. Switzer Deason of Bryan, repre- senting the owners of the tract, charged after the vote that the com- missioners were unhappy, not with the rezoning request, but with their inability to require the establishmer of a buffer zone on the property. ,.-Is races: By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer Former Councilman Larry Ringer as raised more than half again as such as Councilwoman Lynn 4cIlhaney in the College Station myoral race, according to campaign inance reports filed this week. The reports, the first for the 1986 ;municipal elections, show that Rin- ger has raised $2,688 to McIlhaney's $1,572. The report s, which cover the period from each candidate's filing' for office to this week, also show that the mayor's race has attracted far $1, Rinaer raises more money than the two contested council races combined, with Ringer alone raising more money than the four candidates for council Places 2 and 6. raised by the Most of the money mayoral candidates came from con- tributions of $50 or less. Of Ringer's total, $2,188 — 81 percent — came from such contributions; $974 — 62 percent — of McIlhaney's total came in amounts of $50 or less. Ringer's major contributors were Emil Ogden of College Station, who gave him $300, and Phil Adams of College Station, who donated $20 Each of McIlhaney's large contribu tors donated $100; they were Mike and Debby Perrone, Rob Brower, W.C. and Irene Barksdale, and Tri- all of College Sta- ple T Enterprises, tion, and C aignsl Bryan. Both cam ended the filing campaigns period in he black. Ringer reported expenditures of $432 for his February campaign kickoff, and Mcllhaney spent $655 on such items as cam- paign photos, an advertisement, push cards and sticks for y signs. In Place 2, incumbent Councilman loo more than Mc c ted Bob Runnels reported raising — and a spending — no money at all. His opponent, attorney Sara Goode Jones, reported raising $1,578 and spending less than $16. Forty - eight percent of her money came from contributions of $50 or less; her largest contributors, all of College Station, were her father, Phillip Goode ($300), Clementine Ogden ($250), R.W. Harville ($100) and Michael R. Hoelscher ($100). In Place 6, the seat being va by McIlhaney, Dick Haddox, the vice chairman of the board of direc- tors of Anco Insurance, raised far more money than his opponent, David Brochu, the manager of the Greenery . Haddox reported contributions of $825 — all but $25 in amounts ex- ceeding $50. His largest contributors were himself ($500), J.O. Alexander Jr. of Wellborn ($100), Richard Pol- The Eagle /Saturday, March 8, 1986 11haney lard of College Station ($100), anc Phil Springer of College Station ($100), who is Ringer's campaigr treasurer. Haddox reported expendi- tures of $55 for stakes for yard signs. Brochu reported raising $50 and spending nothing. Place 4 Councilwoman Pat Boughton is unopposed and thus wasn't required to file a finance state- ment this week. College Station branch library still in limbo The College Station branch lib- rary, which doesn't exist yet, is looking for a home, which it hasn't found. The City Council will take up the matter this week and may even decide on it. Then again, no- thing may hap- pen — it's a s' matter that has been under in- tensive study for only a year or so. The College Station Library Committee, as we have reported, has recommended that a temporary facility be built in Southwood Athle- tic Park not only for the library but also for the Arts Council of Brazos Valley. Eventually, committee members hope, a permanent branch library will be built in conjunction with an Arts Council center. For their part, members of the Arts Council seem generally agree- able to all that. At a City Council meeting on Feb. 26, they even seemed eager. In the near term, they need to make new arrangements for office space because the rent on their cur- rent space at RepublicBank A &M will double on April 1, said Jim CITY HALL By Daniel Puckett Reynolds, the Arts Council's presi- dent. Either the council moves, he said, or it watches its office space shrink by almost half. In the long term, the council hopes to build an arts center for the Brazos Valley. Harry Ransom, an Arts Council director, explained that the vision is one of an arts campus: small, medium and large buildings, serving different artistic purposes, strewn across a few acres of land. It is possible that a branch library could nestle in the arts center's trees, connected to its auditoriums and galleries by shaded paths and served by a common parking lot. That's a charmingly serene vision. But this pastorale may never be staged because of a nasty obstacle: money. A temporary library big enough to house the Arts Council could cost up to $270,000, and no one will admit to having any ideas on the cost of a permanent building. For the first phase of its own pro- ject, the Arts Council is talking ab- out a $2 million to $3 million price tag. Much of the money, members 'said, will have to come from the community, although the city may b e asked to foot a bit of the tab. Spending more than a quarter - million dollars just for a temporary facility gave pause to Council- woman Terri Tongco, who asked a series of skeptical questions about the project. The original idea, she said, was to lease space for the branch; the chairman of the Library Committee, Larry Ringer, re- sponded that none seemed suitable and affordable. A College Station resident, Jerry Cooper, spoke in favor of a more central location, objecting that the proposed site in Southwood Park is on the fringe of the populated area. " However, in response to sug- gestions that the issue be studied further, he said the city should delay no longer. The members of the Library Committee also favor a quick deci- sion on the library: With a tempor- ary facility, the library could open this fall. But they disagree with Cooper about the location, having examined many potential sites be- fore settling on Southwood. Moreover, committee members were reluctant to recommend any site near Texas A &M University. The city library, they feel, should be some distance from the A &M lib- rary so that library facilities will be spread throughout the area. Mayor Gary Halter offered another caveat, repeating an earlier warning that temporary facilities have a way of becoming permanent. What the mayor didn't mention is that in economic times like these, the odds of raising millions of dol- lars for a library- cum -arts complex are, to say the least, not the kind that would attract the average gambler. Ringer replied that a temporary facility can be made attractive enough to seem almost permanent. And the benefits of opening a branch quickly, he said, outweigh the risk of being stuck for a while with a temporary home. Summing up, Halter sai4 he'd like to make a decision ou:.4he lib- rary's location this month. He leaves office in April and, under- standably, would like to wrap up an issue that has dragged on for more than a year. On Feb. 13, 1985, the council agreed to include funds in the 1985- 86 budget for the branch library; on April 6, city voters overwhelmingly approved it; on May 23, the council set aside $194,000 to establish it. Halter's — and the Library Com- mittee's — desire for action is understandable. And laudable.

Last year, the committee searched For space that the city could rent for a library. The committee found no space that was affordable and suit- able, rejecting many locations be- �-cause of inadequate parking or in- sufficient floor support for the weight of the books. So the committee recommended � last month that the city build a tem- porary structure in Southwood Athle- tic Park. The building, committee members suggested, could be shared with the Arts Council of Brazos Val- ley, which is seeking new office space. But several council members on Wednesday expressed doubts about the recommendation. Councilwoman Pat Boughton said many people dis- like the Southwood location because it's too far away. Committee .Chairman Larry Rin- ger responded that the most inten- sively used stops for the Bryan City Library's bookmobile are at Red- mond Terrace, located at Jersey Street and Texas Avenue, and the K- Mart parking lot, located at FM 2818 and Texas Avenue. A committee member added that use is shifting even more toward the K -Mart stop, which is about 1' /2 miles from South- wood Park. Councilwoman Terri Tongco took a different tack, questioning whether the city should tie its plans to those of the Arts Council. The city, she said, should proceed with its own plans; the possibility that the Arts Council's goal of a Brazos Valley arts center may dovetail with the library shouldn't delay the opening of the library, she said. Representatives of the Arts Coun- cil replied that the city should go ahead with its own plans. Mayor Gary Halter told them that, in any case, the city won't be able to solve the Arts Council's immediate need for office space. The Arts Council needs new office space because rent on its current space in RepublicBank A &M will double April 1, President Jim Reynolds told the City Council last month. Other objections came from Coun- cilmen Fred Brown and James Bond, who urged the council to reconsider renting space for the library. In re- sponse to questioning from the coun- cil, Ringer said the committee stu- died rental spaces about nine months ago. Since then, Brown replied, the ren- tal market has softened considerably. He said he'd spoken to several own- ers of office space along FM 2818 who are offering reasonable rental rates. On a motion offered by Boughton, the council unanimously directed the staff to examine available rental space in an area roughly bounded by Texas Avenue on the east, Southwest Parkway on the north, Wellborn Road on the west and Rock Prairie Road on the south. Rents often de- pend on the length of the lease, and the council directed the staff to quote a lease period of three years. The cour. cil also asked the staff tc consider suitable locations in the same area for a temporary structure should renting prove impractical. No deadline was set for delivering the report. Halter had hoped to find library location before he leave office next month, but he implied tha may be impossible before municipa elections on April 5. "Come back to this council witf your report," he told City Managei W. King Cole. "This council, of another council." y ct tt . Sv 0' By CRAIG RENFRO � Staff Lt'ri[er F11 The College Station City Council F I hursday heard a request for fund - Ring from the Department of Mental WHealth and Mental Retardation and 'CI assed an ordinance amending the city's alarm system code. p[ MHMR has requested $54,500 for "the 1986 -87 fiscal year. City man - ager William Cole said funding for MHMR will come from the city's rev - enue - sharing funds. Although the city's revenue fund currently has a balane q I rV0.000' 00 M from the federal government in the next fiscal year. Cole said the 1987 fiscal year will be the last year the city will receive revenue - sharing funds from the fed- eral government. Mayor Gary Halter said the local community .will have to pick up a greater share of MHMR's costs after revenue funds run out. The council also amended the city's alarm code to require property owners to return to their properties in the event of an alarm. The amendment also would im- pose a $25 fine after the second false alarm. City attorney Cathy Locke said the amendment was prepared at the re- quest of the College Station Police Department because it has had prob- lems with false alarms over the last several months. In other business, the council passed two amendments to the city's zoning ordinances establishing new zoning districts. The first amendment created a commercial, planned -unit devel- opment zone, which will encourage efficient use of commercial sites and promote innovative use of modern development concepts. David Brochu of the Planning and Zoning Committee said this amend ment will allow for more flexibility for developers in parking and set back requirements. Setback requirements are dis{ tances that buildings must be con strutted from streets and other busi nesses. These requirements vary in dif ferent zones. The committee's second amend ment would provide for the estab lishment of a commercial Northgav zone. Brochu said this amendment also eases parking and setback require ments and will make it easier to es tablish new businesses. CS Council amends alarm code New petition. filed in CS *40, porn case A revised petition that seeks to pro- hibit the sale of certain materials car- ried by a College Station adult video store was filed in a Brazos County court Thursday. State District Judge Carolyn Ruffi- n last month dismissed a similar petition filed by County Attorney Jim Kuboviak because the state's public nuisance act under which injunctive relief is being sought against Adult Video was not properly cited by sta- tute number. The revised petition filed Thursday properly cites the act under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which became effective last September. The petition asks that the owners of the store at 603 Texas Aveune South be permanently enjoined from selling various magazines, films, cassettes, and rubber goods "in order to abate the obscene nuisance pursuant to the Public Nuisance Act." Allegedly obscene materials worth core than $20,000 were confiscated 'rom the store in a raid led by the ;ounty attorney's office last Novem- ber. Misdemeanor charges have since been filed against 'five store em- ployees, including alleged operator John Kenneth Coil of Highland Vil- lage. Coil is-also named as a defen- dant in the civil action brought against Adult Video: Attorneys for defendants Hotex Inc. and Louisiana Development Inc., both Texas corporations, argued at a January hearing that the state has no legal procedure by which to seek a permanent injunction against the store since,federal appel- late courts have twice found the nui- sance act to be unconstitutional. The state's revised petition, pre- pared by Assistant County Attorney Terry Lord, states that Ruffin has "the power and the duty" to add the procedural and due process rights the federal courts found lacking in the nuisance act, and thereby make it onstitutional. . The Eagle /Friday, March 14, 1986 CS faces end of revenue sharing H m tai Qj kci N• n n 9 By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer The end of the federal revenue sharing program could significantly increase the property tax burden for College Station residents. After a hearing Thursday on uses for revenue sharing funds, City Man- ager W. King Cole told the City Council that city staffers don't expect the program to be renewed. "It's a foregone conclusion that revenue sharing is dead," he said. But $600,000 of the city's $52 mil- lion budget for 1985 -86 was financed by revenue sharing funds, Cole said. To raise that much money from prop- erty taxes, he said, the city would have to raise tax rates by 6 cents. That would represent a 16 percent hike over this year's rate of 38 cents per $100 assessed valuation. However, Cole said, funding for the program should continue through the current federal fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. Because College Sta- tion's fiscal year starts on July 1, it will have some revenue sharing funds — up to $200,000 — in its 1986 -87 budget, he said. Of that sum, $50,000 will come from unexpended 1985 -86 funds and $150,000 from the final installment of federal payments. The federal gov- ernment may still reduce the latter figure, Cole said. Cole hastened to add that the staff won't necessarily recommend mak- ing up the lost revenue by raising property taxes. Work on the 1986 -87 budget has begun, but it probably won't be approved until summer. An additional uncertainty in financing for the budget comes from other uses to which revenue sharing money is put. In the current fiscal year, the coun- cil gave about $50,000 in revenue sharing funds to various programs, most of it — approximately $35,000 — to the Mental Health Mental Re- tardation Authority of the Brazos Valley. For the coming year, an MHMR official asked the council almost to double that amount. Dianne Savage, MHMR's deputy director for operations, told the coun- cil that the authority is asking for almost $55,000 in the coming year. The agency's facilities are strained and need expansion, she said. In addition, Savage said, MHMR officials are working with local au- thorities to hire deputies who would be charged with dealing with mental patients. She said MHMR is asking Brazos County and the cities of Col- lege Station and Bryan to assume half of the cost of the program for a seven - county area. The rest of the cost, she said, would be assumed by the other counties in the area. MHMR's was the only request offered during the public hearing. The council took no action. In other business, the council unanimously adopted a new zoning ordinance that includes two new types of commercial district: com- mercial- planned unit development and commercial - Northgate. The planned -unit district allows for mixed commercial use of property and the Northgate district takes into account the area's cramped conditions. No one spoke at public hearings on the two new types of district. Also unanimously, the council approved a rezoning request for 21.6 acres on the north side of FM 2818 near Holleman Drive from R -4, apartments -low density, to R -5, apartments - medium density. Another rezoning request, for a tract on Millers Lane near Texas Avenue, was withdrawn by the applicant.

Mcllhaney's style and record evoked strong reactions from her fellow council members. Two ex- pressed strong doubts about her ability to lead the council. "If Lynn is elected, the council will have to lead her," said one council member. "The council will have to make her decisions on business issues." Another official put it in stron- ger terms. "The issue is who can provide leadership, and I don't see any way Lynn can do that," the offi- cial said. "I think Lynn will enjoy the ceremonial function of being mayor ... and the 'complaints cen- ter' function, getting potholes fil- led and being a liaison with city ,government in the delivery of ser- vices.... ' "But the third role is the policy - Making function and that's what's important. I don't see any evi- dence that Lynn has any ability to ;do that." But another council member said McIlhaney has leadership — it's just different from the style of leadership shown by Mayor Gary Halter, who is generally credited with being able to win approval of his agenda. Mcllhaney, a fellow council member said, doesn't think the mayor should "railroad things through." Mcllhaney herself has said she'll promote discussion of issues and help the council reach a consensus on each one. "The mayor has to be a figure - head, but there still have to be six other people (council members)," 'the council member said. "Lynn knows that. But from what I know of Lynn and Larry, no matter who wins. I don't think we're going to get another Halter." Mcllhaney's opponents on the council aren't quite so sure. They agree that Ringer's style is more low key than that of the often- caustic current mayor, but they think he'll take a strong position in leading the council. Larry was on the council for six years (1976 -83) and he was responsible for a lot of park pro helped sell the parks program and parks bonds, and he and (then - councilman) Tony Jones were re- sponsible for the community cen- ter and promoting recreational programs. "Larry was a worker with prog- rams in mind." The record of the two candi- dates could play a part in the cam- paign, especially with regard to McIlhaney's role in the Westing- house- Raintree Fight. In January 1981, the City Coun- cil rezoned a 55 -acre tract on the East Bypass, adjacent to the Rain - tree subdivision, for industrial de- velopment. At the time, the identi- ty of the tract's owner was un- known. Many Raintree residents, wor- ried that the tenant might reduce the value of their property, laun- ched a campaign against the re- zoning. One of their spokesmen was McIlhaney. Eventually, Westinghouse announced that it planned to build a clean, light- manufacturing plant on the site. Although some Rain - tree residents continued to fight the rezoning for a few months, their campaign fizzled by summer 1981. Mcllhaney was appointed to the parks and recreation board that year and elected to the council in 1982. But her participation in the Westinghouse fight branded her, in some eyes, as an opponent of economic growth. That issue is no issue, Mcllhaney says. She says some businessmen are afraid that she's anti - growth, but she says she strongly supports development. At least one official thinks Mcllhaney is soft - pedaling her role in the Westinghouse fight. The official said that McIlhaney has more often opposed programs than created them, and that she can't be identified as a force for economic development. "Her record is one of being a disorganizer and an opponent," the official said. However, the other council members were less concerned ab- out Mcllhaney's record. She seems committed to growth, they mania And McIlhaney, one council member said, could have a distinct advantage over Ringer in promot- ing economic development be- cause she has more time to devote to it. McIlhaney is a homemaker; Ringer is a professor in the Texas A &M department of statistics. Another official, however, pooh - poohed that idea. "Does that mean that we can only have a housewife as a mayor ?" the official asked. "I don't see that as an argument." The other contested races pro- vided few disagreements. In Place 2, attorney Sara Goode Jones is opposing Councilman Bob Runnels. All the officials had praise for Runnels, and most spoke highly of Jones, but one council member wondered what qualifications Jones brings to the job. Another, however, spoke highly of Jones' intelligence and leadership qualities. The Place 6 candidates are Dick Haddox, vice chairman of the board of directors of Anco Insur- ance, and David Brochu, manager of The Greenery. Both are in- volved in municipal affairs, Had - dox as vice chairman of the Col- lege Station Economic Develop- ment Foundation and Brochu as a member of the Planning and Zon- ing Commission. The council members' only re- servation about those candidates was a lack of familiarity with one or the other. The final issue involves all the races: balance on the council. If McIlhaney and Jones win their races, no member of the College Station City Council will be an A &M employee — the first time that has ever happened. That worries more than one council member. "I'd like to see some balance between business people (on the council) and professors," said one official. "1 think having universi- ty people there is real important." But another said that problem could be solved easily. "If that should happen, we still will at least have their feedback, and here I'm thinking of our com- mittees and advisory boards," thf ��n Writ Mi-m e- A The Eagle /Sunday, P /larch 16, 1986 E L� BID NOTICE The City of College Station i Accepting Bid(s) For: 1500 KVA, PAD MOUNT THREE PHASE TRANS - FORMER-ONEEACH until 2.00 PM, April 1. 1986, at which time the bids will be opened in the office of the Purchasing Agent at the City Hall.

The Eagle /Wednesday, March 25, 1986 H lD tai w LQ m sv n N rn OD rn Ringer attack. By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer College Station mayoral candidate Larry Ringer charged Tuesday that his opponent, Councilwoman Lynn Mcllhaney, has a record of opposing economic development. McIlhaney defended her record but didn't respond to the specifics of Rin- ger's charge. Ringer's attack on McIlhaney was one of the few heated moments in a candidates' forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Bryan - College Station Chamber of Commerce. Most of the forum cen- tered on slight differences between the candidates for City Council. But near the forum's end, Ringer questioned McIlhaney's commitment to economic development. "How can my opponent say she is committed to industrial development when she blocked funding for the in- dustrial foundation for months ?" he asked. Moreover, Ringer said, McIlhaney is " philosopically opposed" to municipal funding for the Chamber of Commerce and was the only coun- s McIlhaney I s record cil member to vote against the reloca- tion of Humana Hospital to College Station, a move that Ringer said will add $300,000 a year to the city's re venues. Ringer said that, during his seven - year tenure on the council, the num- ber of city parks grew from 10 in 1976 to more than 20 in 1983. But, he said, "I'm not sure what my oppo- nent has accomplished." Mcllhaney didn't answer Ringer directly. She said that she's proud of her record and that her four years on the council have resulted in a council that is more responsive to citizen con- cerns and in the hiring of an effective city manager. McIlhaney also said she has a re- cord of effective leadership and com- munication. The city, she said, needs a mayor who can work with different groups and different governmental entities. On other issues, differences be- tween the two mayoral candidates were less sharp. They agreed that the impending end of the federal re- venue- sharing program, which con- tributed some $600,000 to the muni- cipal budget this year, will force a re- evaluation of the city's priorities. Ringer said persuading College Station residents to accept a tax in- crease to make up the difference would be a tough job for the council. If a tax increase is necessary , McIlhaney said, public hearings should be held to learn citizens' priorities for city funds. Regarding the city's water supply, Ringer strongly supported finding a new source of water. He said the city has lost a prospective industry be- cause of the poor quality of its water, which has a high salt content. McIlhaney agreed that the quality of the city's water is in question, but she warned that the city should "look very closely at the expense" involved and should find an entity to share that expense. The city is examining the possibil- ity of constructing a reservoir on the Navasota River, perhaps with the cooperation of the city of Houston. Debate between candidates for the other contested positions centered more on qualifications than on issues. Place 2 Councilman Bob Runnels focused on his six years of experience on the council; his election as mayor pro ten, two years ago, he said, shows he has the respect of the other council members and can conduct council business. His opponent, Sara Goode Jones, has never served on the council, but she said she entered the race because "it's time for a change." She said she, unlike Runnels, has legal train- ing that enables her to weigh and judge issues and has experience in owning and running a business. Business experience also weighed heavily in the Place 6 debate. Dick Haddox, vice chairman of the board of directors of Anco Insurance, said he has more business experience than his opponent, David Brochu. Haddox said his age, 52, and the size of his business give him an advantage over Brochu. Brochu, 32, conceded that he's Younger than Haddox. But he added that, as the manager of The Greenery, he deals with the same questions that Haddox does — if on a smaller scale n CS creates EO history panel By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer 1.

Where did voters go to cast their ballots on incorporating the city of College Station?

And anyone who cares about ques- tions like that could be a perfect candi- date for membership on a board the College Station City Council created Wednesday. By a unanimous vote, the council approved the creation of a historic pre- servation committee suggested by Mayor Gary Halter. The council also °ndowed the committee with an initial $1,000 budget drawn from hotel - motel tax revenues. The committee will use the money to encourage historic- preservation projects, Halter said. He cited this year's retrieval and restoration of a school bell by students at A &M Con- solidated High School as a good ex- ample of projects that ought to be undertaken. Halter suggested that the committee include- representatives from the Bra- zos County Historical Society, the university and the City Council. The Eagle /Thursday, March 27, 1986 LJ CS ordinance willprotect city workers against lawsuits By Craig Renfro staff Writer The College Station City Council passed an ordinance Thursday which will provide insurance for city offi- cials and employees to protect them against lawsuits while performing city policy. The ordinance, prepared at the re- quest of city manager William Cole, will cover city employees unless the lawsuit stems from an illegal act, or is in violation of city policy, city attor- ney Cathy Locke says. Funds for the self- insurance prog- ram will come from the city's budget, says Glenn Schroeder, deputy direc- tor of finance. The city's employee insurance coverage expired Jan. 15. However, employees would have been covered from the city's budget before this ordinance was passed, ed concern that the city would be re- sponsible for covering court costs in a long and lengthy trial. "Suppose a city official awarded a contract and there was some technic- al, legal loophole which says we didn't do it just right, and somebody sued, then the city would be held liable," Bond says. The city's general comprehensive liability coverage expired Jan. 1, and the city has hired an insurance con- sultant to look at insurance coverage possibilities, Schroeder says. The consultant will have insurance re- commendations within two weeks, he says. venue for the fiscal year 1986 - Locke says. Locke says the ordinance will allow the rate to remain at six percent for the next two years. Councilwoman Terri Tongco says the rate should be reviewed each year since budgets must be presented ev- ery year and the city needs to know how much money from the fund can be available for budgeting. In other business, the council also approved two rezoning requests. The first request changes a section of University Park, near the Highway 6 bypass, from townhouse - rowhouse to administrative - professional. The second change rezones the College Station Business Center from gener- al- commercial to commercial - industrial. The Planning and Zoning Com- mittee recommended approval of these requests at its March 19 meeting. In other action the council passed an ordinance which will keep the hotel -motel tax rate at six percent. The current six percent rate would have dropped to five percent June 30 if the council had not passed the ordi- nance. The six percent rate is esti- mated to produce $550,000 in re- Schroeder says.

Ringer on Monday conceded that the charge "may have been mis- taken . " "If that's so, 1 apologize to Lynn," he said. Mcllhaney disputed other charges that Ringer made against her during a candidates' forum last week. Ringer charged then that Mcllhaney blocked funding for the College Station In- dustrial Foundation and that she has said she's "philosophically opposed" to funding for the Bryan - College Station Chamber of Com- merce. reed On Monday,Ml for the that s he h as opposed industrial foundation and some fund- ing for the Chamber of Commerce. But she said . Ringer misinterpreted her position on both issues. Furthermore, Mcllhaney said, Ringer misrepresented the facts when he said she was the only council ember who voted aainst the re- )cation of Humana Hospital to Col - ege Station. On Monday, Ringer was unable to ubstantiate his charge, and a check f City Council minutes disclosed no council vote on the relocation of Humana. Humana twice won the city's per- mission to build its new facility on a site zoned for residential develop- ment. In January 1984 and again m October 1985, the Planning and Zon- ing Commission granted Humana a allows a conditional hool hospital or hu permit to be built on property zoned for other uses. Unless a conditional use permit is contested, it is not taken before the City Council. Apparently, Humana's permits weren't contested and the council never acted on them. Ringer conceded that point Mon- day. But he said he charged Mcllhaney with opposing Human's move because he had heard that a resolution supporting M ney e wus blocked b and other y council members.

If there was a development plan, it must have been conceived by Rube Goldberg. Friends told me that city government was dominated by people with vested interests in de- velopment for the sake of develop- ment, and that there was no hope for change. 1 watched with interest and admiration as Lynn McIlhaney be- gan her campaign to restore a sense of balance to city government. She was branded a special interest candi- date by those who had the most to lose by her election. Lynn was elected because the citizens of Col= -: lege Station understood that city government must serve all segments of our community. I'm sure Lynn felt a great deal of satisfaction as candidates who shared her views were elected to the city council and the balance of power shifted. - LLB 1�K5 for mayor TO THE EDITOR Jones the best Now, as the current campaign nears its end, we are again witness to the biennial spectacle.of orchestrated campaigns against Lynn that use rumor and innuendo to portray her as a special interest candidate with no ability to lead the city council. I understand why so much money and false advertising are being used to defeat her. After all, she has done something revolutionary in College Station government; she has tried to ` represent all citizens of our city. I submit that the real special interest candidates in this campaign are those who would turn back the clock to the days when the real estate developers were in control of city government. Lynn McIlhaney has.,0roven to be an effective representative for the people of College Stati;�i. She will be an excellent mayor. JAMES L. HEILMA ;; College Station Elect Bob Runnels On Saturday voters in College Station have the opportunity to re- elect an outstanding member of the City Council. Bob Runnels, running for re- election to Place 2, has given our city a dedicated, conscientious and responsible voice on the council that is not tied to any particular in- terest. In addition to his record to prevent adverse zoning changes to affect our neighborhoods, he has worked consistently for innovative solutions to city problems. His efforts brought about the creation of impact assessments to accompany requests for zoning changes, a plan for systematically repairing city streets, and the use of program budgets to encourage citizen input to the budget process. While advocating these programs he has been ch4irman of the city's capital improvements committee. During his chairmanship this com- mittee developed the most extensive capital improvements plan in the ci- ty's history. These plans were thor- ough and economically prudent. His ability to achieve results was recog- nized when fellow council members chose him to be mayor pro tem in 1984. Bob Runnels has a proven record of effectiveness on the city council and a dedication to protect our neigh- borhoods by strongly supporting and refusing to weaken our zoning re- quirements. By any reasonable stan- dard, he deserves to be re- elected. I urge College Station voters to give their votes on Saturday to Bob Runnels to keep citizen concerns foremost in council actions. LORENCE L. BRAVENEC College Station We are neighbors of Sara Goode Jones, and we support her can- didacy for Place 2 on the College Station City Council. We know that Sara shares with us the import- ance that we place on preserving the quality of our neighborhoods in College Station. We know her to be a person of high moral char- acter, and we believe her when she tells us that she only supports the type of development and growth in our community that will not in- fringe upon our neighborhoods. We . watch Sara manage her household, her large family and active career with competence by being able to put things in their proper perspl� and tackling choice her load with energy, enthusiasm and tremendous capability. We know that Sara will approach her position as council person with the same enthusiasm and dedication to hard work. For these reasons Sara Goode Jones is our choice for College Station City Council, Place 2. BILL and PEGGY JENKINS, STEVE and ELAINE HANSEN, LARRY and JAN _HUBBELL, ROB and SUSAN SCHLEIDER, RICHARD and CLAUDIA POL- LARD, JIM and PAM REYNOLDS, MCHAYDEN and BARBARA DILLARD College Station Why change? As a long time observer and par- ticipant in "city politics," I feel I have some insight into the local scene. I don't like what I am hear- ing in the current campaign. For some reason a group of homebuilders and businessmen think they know what is best for the citizens of College Station. Not only did they select their slate of candidates before campaigning began, but they have followed up with half - truths and inuendos ab- out one of the candidates. I wonder why they are so intent upon con- vincing voters that Runnels, Brochu and McIlhaney, who pre- sently serve the city, are less qual- ified than their slate of endorsed candidates, two of whom have admitted that they haven't attended any city council meetings and, therefore, have no first -hand knowledge of what has been accomplished recently. Last year, three new council members, Bond, Brown and Tongco were elected. It takes at least a year to become familiar with the city government; yet, be- cause of the help of the established incumbents, the council has man- aged to hire a new professional city manager, to give us a restruc- tured industrial foundation, which is finally financially accountable to the city, set in motion a storm water management program, allowed for public involvement in the budget and many more long overdue projects. It seems to me our present council has been doing a pretty good job. Why change? Overseeing the business of the city and representing citizen in- terests takes time, dedication and experience. Running the city is the job of the City Manager and his staff. Let's trust the voters to de- cide on who they think will best' represent them, and keep College Station moving FORWARD too. ANNE HAZEN College Station � McIlhaney outruns Ringer in the race to raise money By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer Councilwoman Lynn McIlhaney, who is campaigning Jor mayor, has pulled ahead of her .cMnent, former Councilman Lar- ryRinger, in the race to raise funds. In the other contested council races, however, candidates who did well during the previous report- ing period continued to lead their opponents in fund - raising. According to campaign - finance reports filed this week, McIlhaney raised $3,235 between March 7 and March 27. Ringer raised $1,565 from March 1 -31. When added to amounts raised in the previous reporting period, the contributions give McIlhaney a warchest of $4,807 and Ringer a fund of $4,453. That reverses the situation at the end of the last re- porting period, when Ringer was far ahead of McIlhaney in fund- raising. Almost all of Mcllhaney's March contributions came in large amounts. William D. Fitch of Col- lege Station gave the most: $2,000. Other large contributions came from Creative Insurance Concepts of College Station ($500), the poli- tical-action committee of KANEB Services of Houston ($300), O.C. Cooper of College Station ($200) and H.C. Lowe of College Station ($100). Mo of Ringer's recent con- tributions came in sums of $50 or less. The only large contributions he reported were from Jerry Win- dham (no address given), $200, and First Bank and Trust PAC of Bryan, $100. However, Ringer reported much larger expenditures than McIlhaney during the period. He reported two payments, totaling $3,200, to Absolute Advertising of College Station, and McIlhaney re- ported expenditures of almost $1,460: $689 to Triple T Advertis- ing of College Station for yard signs and buttons, $313 to the Eagle for political advertising, and $458 to KTAM radio for the same purpo 2, Sara Goode Jones again raised much more money than her opponent, Councilman Bob Runnels. Jones, who already had raised $1,578, added $865 to that amount during this period, for a total of $2,443. Runnels, who had reported raising no money dur- ing the last period, raised $145 by the end of March. Much of Jones' money came from five, $100 contributions: one each from Dennis Goehring of Bryan, First Bank and Trust PAC, Jim and Carol Scamardo of College Station, Residents for Progress of College Station, and Jo Ann Bair - rington of College Station. All of Runnels' money came in donations ,. -)f X50 and less. Jones spent $2,305 during this reporting period, and most of that money — $2,276 — went to Abso- lute Advertising. Runnels spent almost $268: $62 for a voter list, $55 for cards and $140 for stamps. Place 6 candidate Dick Haddox added $2,404 to his previous con- tributions of $825 for a total of $3,229 by March 26. His oppo -. nent, David Brochu, reported con- tributions of $655 between Feb. 24 and March 26, bringing his total contributions to $705. Most of Haddox's money came in amounts of $50 or less. His largest contributors were Joe Fer- rer of College Station ($300 in ser- vices), Stephen A. Holditch of Col- lege Station ($200 cash or equiva- lent), First Bank and Trust PAC ($150), Phil Adams of College Sta- tion ($100) and Adrian McDonald Jr. of College Station ($100). Brochu received only one con- tribution of $100 or more: $100 from Len Gallagher of College Sta- tion. Although they raised vastly different amounts of money, the two Place 6 dandidates reported roughly equal expenditures during this period. Haddox spent $823 for push cards, yard signs, thank -you cards and envelopes and $27 in un- itemized expenses for a total of $850 during the period; Brochu spent $653, most of it — $492 for yard signs and push cards. The Eagle/Wednesday, April 2, 1986 NOW Letter mge Spnn s campa,�n treasurer, Phil ger, reported to the city secret- ary this week that the Ringer cam- paign paid $3,200 to the agency last month. Tucker defended the letter itself, saying the lack of any name or address on it has nothing to do with its validity. Section 251.015 of the Texas Elec- tion Code states: "It is unlawful for any person to knowingly enter into a contract or transaction to print ... any political advertising which does not disclose thereon the name of the per- son who personally entered into the contract or transaction ... or (of) the person represented by such agent." In addition, printed advertising must bear "the address of the agent or the person represented by the agent. " Violation of that section is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $2,000, up to one year in jail, or both. The letter states that it is paid for "by citizens for a better College Sta- tion." Tucker said the people who paid for the ad are not organized into a group by that name. When asked why no individual's name or address appeared on the let- ter as required by law, Tucker said: "it just slipped through." When asked what name and address should have appeared, Tuck- er said: "I'm not at liberty to discuss that. " When asked if he was aware that the omission of the name and the address is a misdemeanor, Tucker said: "Yeah, Class A." But Tucker repeated that omitting the name is not important; what's im- portant, he said, is the content of the letter. With the exception of a charge that McIlhaney voted "against Humana Hospital coming to College Station," Tucker said, he stands by the content of the letter. No record of any McIlhaney vote against the hospital has been produced by Ringer or his supporters. They now say only that she opposed the move, a statement she disputes. Complaints about violations of the election code, which aj,so establishes civil penalties for infractions, are made to the Texas secretary of state. A spokesman for the secretary of state's office said Tuesday that no complaints had been filed. McIlhaney said she would file From 1A R' none. But she questioned Ringer's handling of his own campaign. "I'm surprised that he doesn't have better control over his own cam- paign," she said. "If-it were me,,si would have final approval of. thing that came out of my advMis'ing agency." Ringer said candidates can't al- ways control what their supporters do. For example, he said, supporters may write postcards in favo? of a candidate and fail to comply with election laws. McIlhaney responded: "I could agree about letters to the editor or to individuals, but this came frorli his advertising agency." Ringer said he met with �ker Tuesday morning and "indicated some disappointment'.' over theinci- dent. However, he said, he isn't re- evaluating his relationship with the agency, in part because the election is only a few days away. As for the letter;itself, Ringer said he would have reworked the word- ing, had the decision been his. He said he would have preferred that the mailings contain some positive men- tion of his record. fir. P J 147 Fewer absentee votes cast Absentee voting in both Bryan and College Station's city and school elections lagged behind last year, city clerks reported Wednesday. Absen- tee voting closed Tuesday. In College Station's joint municip- al- school district election, 151 voters cast absentee ballots in person be- tween March 17 and April 1 — about half of last year's number, City Secretary Dian Jones said Wednesday. That number includes voters who live outside the city limits and were voting only for school - district trus- tees. Jones added, however, that a holi- day — Easter — fell on the day after last year's municipal election. That fact, she said, may have boosted the number of absentee voters in 1985. In the 1984 municipal and school district elections, according to Eagle records, the number of absentee bal- lots was about the same as that re- ported Wednesday. In Bryan, 170 voted absentee, City Secretary Dorothy Mallett reported. That figure also includes voters in the school board elections. It is about 0.5 percent of the total number of reg- istered voters. In contrast, last year 229, or 0.7 percent, voted absentee. In 1984, the number was 196, but because of a smaller number of registered votes, the percentage that year was also 0.7 percent.

The Eagle /Thursday, April 3, 1986 H (D r� �v LQ N m c r� n N OVA CS race Tor mayor Heating up By Craig Renfro Staff Writer College Station City Council elec- tions will take place Saturday amid accusations that one of the mayoral candidates is opposed to economic development and that the other candidate violated the Texas Elec- tion Code. Letters sent last week to several College Station businesses say may- oral candidate Lynn McIlhaney is "anti- business," and opposed to in- dustrial development. The letters do not list the name or address of the person who ar- ranged for the printing, although Texas law requires disclosure of those facts, said Rebecca Payne, staff attorney with the state election committee. A violation of the state election code can be a Class A misdemea- ` If he's (Larry Ringer) not strong enough to run his own campaign, he's certainly not strong enough to be mayor. " Lynn McIlhaney — candidate for mayor of College Sta- tion. nor, punishable by a $2,000 fine, a year in jail, or both, she said. Payne said to determine if the letters are in violation of the code, McIlhaney would have to file a civil suit with a local prosecutor. If no suit is filed, the state will take no action, she said. McIlhaney said Wednesday she has tried to run a positive cam- paign, but is upset with Larry Ringer, her opponent, and is unde- cided if she will file suit. MrTlhanev said review of the is defined as a group of person: formed to collect contributions o make expenditures for a candidat� in a public election. All political committees must as- sign a treasurer to keep track of all expenditures and contributions, and are subject to disclosure laws, she said. Payne said an individual can spend up to $100 on political con- tributions, however, if more is spent a report must be filed. Ringer said he doesn't know who sent the letters, although they were produced by Absolute Advertising. the firm that handles Ringer's cam- paign. Ringer said the money did not come from his campaign fund. "The money didn't come frori my fund," Ringer .said. "However they (Absolute Advertising) knoi, I'm disappointed." College Station City Council min- utes would reveal she's not anti - business. "There isn't anything positive in that letter," McIlhaney said. "Eve- rything in it is a lie. "If he's not strong enough to run his own campaign, he's certainly not strong enough to be mayor." Payne said if a suit were filed, the courts would decide if the people responsible for the letter meet the criteria of a political committee.

Even at that young age she was outstandingly bright, in- telligent and cooperative. When she was a high school senior I directed the Senior play in which she had the lead. That same year she graduated as salutatorian of her class. When College Station was a smaller town it was a sad fact that many of its most promising stu- dents had to go to other communi- ties to live and work. Now that the situation has changed it is both ex- citing and gratifying to find many of my former students as active, contributing citizens of our com- munity. We are fortunate to have some- one of Sara Jones' caliber who is eager to dedicate time and talents to the benefit of College Station. That is why I am certainly going to vote for her as a member of the College Station City Council.

A po ' ment is certainly within the bounds of a newspaper's options, but the Eagle has done far more than en- dorse Larry Ringer. In suggesting that Lynn McIlhaney is "superfi- -cial, uninformed... and baffling" you have, I think, exceed the bounds of propriety, decency, and good common sense. This will do much to set -back Bryan - College Station relations. The innuendos in your rejection of McIlhaney are un- warranted. The editorial of April 2, I suspect and hope, will play a vital role in getting Lynn McIlhaney elected mayor of College Station. HENRY C.

Beyond being sensitive to the needs to attract new business to our area, I believe that Lynn Mcllhaney has consistently sought to be a good steward of the taxpayer resources the city council distri- butes. She has consistently, and at times courageously, taken a firm stance against conflict of interest dealings in city government. She has demonstrated repeatedly that she will not sacrifice neighborhood integrity or disregard the concerns of the citizenry in pursuing a prog- ram of city growth. 1 urge you to support Lynn Mcllhaney for mayor. She is pro - business in the proper sense that she feels that taxpayers' monies should be used judiciously with accountability to try to expand the industrial base of the city. She has never been accused of representing any special interest group (includ- ing business) except the average taxpayer. I for one would like someone for Mayor who will look after the interest of College Station as a whole, and I believe that Lynn's past record demonstrates she is clearly the candidate most able an d willing to do so. I am very dismayed at the f f and " being made by Larry Ringer some members of the local busi- ness community to portray Lynn McIlhaney as anti - business. Was it anti - business for Mrs. McIlhaney to seek to delay further funding of the Industrial Foundation until some better system of accountabil- ity could be developed. given this group had already spent a con- siderable sum of taxpayers monies without any tangible results? Is it anti - business to question the way the city council handled the Wes- tinghouse affair when the real issue had to do with the way the city council responded (or failed to re- spond) to the expressions of con- cern by the neighborhood most effected? Is it fair to continue to use Westinghouse as an example Mrs. Mcllhaney's anti- business approach when Rick Hunsicker,' Manager of Westinghouse, has had a letter published in the Eagle w ing that he has worked very well with Mrs. McIlhaney and does not consider her to be anti - business? Lynn McIlhaney recognizes as does everyone in College Station that we need to attract new industry to our town. She has actively pur- sued programs to this end as councilman.

Casper Reporters Over . the past 10 years, Bryan. City Council membeii have differed greatly from their Col- lege Station counterparts. While College Station council members tended to have some connection with Texas A &M the Bryan council has tended to be comprised of community natives. Both councils, however, have shown similari- ties in composition. Elected council members in botl�s have tended to be white. pules, mar- ried, eir mid -40s and incumbents. Although the ages of the council members var- ied the most diversity between the two councils was seen in occupations. Most of the College Station City Council mem- imposition (continued from page 3) toed a full term and was re- elected n 1985. However, sex differences between he two cities are entirely the oppo- iite. During the past 10 years Bryan las had one woman serve two terms in the Citv council while Colleve bers have worked for Texas A &M as faculty or staff. Doctors, bankers, and housewives have also held council positions. Gary Halter, outgoing College Station mayor, said the first city council in College Station was formed by A &M faculty members and have dom- inated it since then. "The first council meeting was held on camp- us." Halter said. ";The first city offices were in the Agriculture Building:" The typical winners in the Bryan City Council elections, however, have held a variety of jobs. Realtors, doctors, a mail carrier, a grocery store clerk and. a rancher have served on the n council,in'the past. But most of the council members have been self- employed businessmen. `Bryan also has had the majority of "home - grpwn" council members, people born and reared in the community. i Gollege Station council members tended to be Station has had five women serve a total of eight terms between them.

He says if he's elected his 20 years of experience in the business world will help hint in his Council work.

But business experience is not all Haddox has gained from working in the insurance business. "As a result of (working in the in- surance business), I feel that I un- derstand people, I feel I can com- ni ate with people," he says); Issues Hattdox says he's concerned about Me quality of life in the area. He says, for example, that this en- tails nice neighborhoods, good streets, good fire protection and good schools. "But I think it also includes an economic environment where your kids don't have to move to Houston or Dallas or Fort Worth in order to make a living," he adds.

Brochu's qualifications The other Place 6 candidate, Da- vid Brochu has lived in College Sta- tion for 13 years and says he wants to continue living here for a long time. But he says he's concerned about the way the city is growing. Because of this concern, Brochu, 32, says decided to run for the City Council. Runnels has been on'the Planning and honing Commission since 1984. His interest in the council was horn out of his activities on the commis- sion, hesays. While the commission can take fi- nal action on some of its decisions, many of them must be passed by the city council, he says. For example, in re- zoning, he says, the commission has a great deal of input as to the di- rection the city should take, but the council has the final decision. "There have been some times," Brochu says, "over the last several months that some of the things that w nt from Planning and Zoning to th city council ended u g t- v orcherrg�.elw --- , f "So I Car= twcluestiotl W little bit more about how the city council makes their final decision and I be- came more interested in it." Long -term plans Brochu says he's most concerned about the city deviating from its comprehensive, long -term plan in o *der to bring more commercial business into the community. "While we need to be very con- scious of our needs to stimulate the commercial part of our business, f don't want to be so short- sighted as to go too far away from our compre- hensive plan and do something that might not be good long -range plan- ning," he says. Brochu graduated from A &M in 1974 with a horticulture degree. He is the manager of The Greenery, a landscape management company in Brvan, and a senior at A &M major- ing in landscape architecture. _J_ c—c-a tiie to College Station to go to A &M and decided to stay and make a home for himself and his wife. They have two children. Brochu says he became active in city affairs while he and his wife at- tended A &M in the'70s. "We got involved with the city through our church activities and once I graduated we just didn't want to leave," Brochu says. "So we stayed here and continued to be involved in volunteer -type work. Two years ago 1 filled out an application with the city to be appointed in some civic area." Brochu was appointed by the city council to his position on the Plan- ning and Zoning Commission. His term ends this year, and Brochu says running for city council seemed like a natural step. Issues Issues coming up within the next two years are the industrial park and the availability of local social serv- ices, Brochu says. Regarding to the industrial park, Brochu says his main concern is the timing of tk_Pz vra'inriont, which re- lace3 -to tits e6ricern about the city'< growth. "The problknis that A &M has its research park that is under construc- tion and already has tenants lined up and Bryan Industrial Park is well de- veloped and continuing to grow," Brochu says. A . have some concerns about whether the timing is right for Col- lege Station to be undertaking this big of a project because I'm not sure our area is ready to support three separate facilities." Despite his hesitations, Brochu says he thinks it definitely will be needed in the future. Regarding local social services, Brochu says the city needs to find a way to provide and fund more of these services. "A lot of these programs are things that may hale been funded or at least partially supported by the federal government at one time," he says. Since'fecleral„ support will be as strong as' it was in the past, Bro- chu says the local community need to fill in the gap. 108 legal Notices PUBLIC NOTICE The City of College Station has been notified by the De- partment of Housing and Ur- ban Development of its eligi- bility to apply for approxi- mately $535.000.00 in 1986 Community Development Block Grant funds.

Ringer received 1,639 of the 2,975 ballots cast. His opponent, Council- man Lynn McIlhaney, earned 1, 336* s urprised McIlhaney said she was sure ;,p•Ringer's margin of victory . She c °d only one precinct — the Col - 1* Station Police Station — and took that box by only 36 votes out of 478 cast. Elsewhere throughout the city, Finger rolled up convincing margins n several precincts, and even carved 'recinct 8 — South Knoll :lementary — which was considered , many a McIlhaney bastion. Ringer attributed his victory to his previous service to the city and to the number of friends and acquaintances he has in the community. "I think there's a lot of people in the community who know me and know what kind of person I a said. "There's a lot of supp ort for me.'

"I've stressed all along that I was not part of a ticket," he said. "There were supporters of mine who were supporting those three, but there were people supporting me who also sup- ported" Jones' or Haddox's oppo- nents. Nevertheless, Ringer said, he's looking forward to working with the new council. Among his first acts, he said, will be to arrange a meeting with City Manager W. King Cole to look at priorities for the coming year. The council also will appoint members to the city's advisory boards within a few months. McIlhaney, a member of the coun- cil since 1982, said she plans to stay involved in municipal affairs. Perhaps, she said, she'll apply to join one of those boards. Ringer said that McIlhaney is free to apply for any position. "We have applications available and I have one vote (on appoint. ments)," he said. "If she'd like t( serve, she can apply." When asked if he plans to invite McIlhaney to apply, the mayor -elec said he'd be glad to meet witl McIlhaney if she'd like. Whatever the outcome of that McIlhaney said she's proud of he campaign. "I can walk into the grocery stop and hold my head up," she said. CS voters elect Jones and Haddox and turn out incumbent councilman By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer College Station voters overwhelmingly elected two councilmen considered by many as a ticket, and in the process turned out an incumbent councilman for the first time since 1982. In Place 2, attorney Sara Goode Jones defeated Coun- cilman Bob Runnels, winning 58.8 percent of the vote to his 41.2 percent. And in Place 6, Dick Haddox, vice chairman of the board of directors of Anco Insurance, won an almost 2 -1 majority over David Brochu, manager of The Greenery. Both victories were sweeping. Jones, winning 1,722 of the 2,929 votes cast, carried every precinct in the city. Haddox, who won 1,712 of the 2,752 ballots cast in his race, lost only one precinct: College Hills Elementary. Both winners attributed their victories to hard work. Haddox said the primary factor contributing to his victory was the fact that he walked the city's neighbor- hoods, knocking on doors and talking to voters. "Well, frankly, I really think the difference was and I don't know if David did this — I walked the neighborhoods and knocked on doors and rang bells," he said. "I really think the personal contact was the key for ne. " Jones agreed. "I just think it's because I worked like a dog," she :aid. "I walked neighborhoods for the past four weeks, I event to every event there was." Jones, a long -time resident of the city, added that her large family and an extensive circle of friends built up over the years contributed to her victory by working for her. Both candidates, however, raised much more money than their ppponents, according to the most recent cam- paign finance statements, which were filed last week. Neither Haddox nor Jones said money had much to do with victory at the polls. However, Jones said the act of ?wing money to a campaign gave voters a bigger incen- tive to work for the candidate's victory. Both Brochu and Runnels pointed to their opponents' extensive resources as factors in their victories. But in the end, Runnels said, Jones simply put together an -ffective campaign. "In the end, I guess, Sara did a very good job con- From 1A vincing people that a change was needed," he said. Runnels is the first incumbent councilman to be defe- ated for re- election since 1982. Ironically, the council- man defeated in that race, Jim Dozier, lost to Lynn McIlhaney, who was defeated in Saturday's mayoral race. Runnels, a councilman since 1980, said Jones will 'probably make a very good councilman." As for him- self, he said, he'd "like to stay out of things for a while. " Not so Brochu. A member of the city's Planning and Zoning Commission, he said another race for City Council is a certainty. Brochu, too, complimented his opponent on a good campaign. I think it was a fair campaign and I don't have any complaints about the way things were done," Brochu said. "He was just able to garner more votes. It may be different next time." The winners said it's time to get to work. Jones said one of her first priorities will be working on the city's 1986 -87 budget. Haddox said he's excited about his victory and feels the entire election shows that the people of College Station are ready to work together and to support econo- mic� growth. ` I think people want better communication between the city (government) and the community," he said, "and I want to help provide that." Both councilmen -elect said they'll be able to work well with other council members. Haddox said: "I'm really excited to be part of it." Both Haddox and Jones — along with Mayor -elect Larry Ringer — were endorsed by the Bryan - College Station Home Builders Association and were identified in some voters' minds as part of a slate. The victorious candidates both strongly denied that they were part of a ticket and emphasized that their victories were due to their — and their backers' — efforts. Tabulation of the votes was delayed for more than two hours when the machines counting the ballots showed discrepancies. So after all the votes in Bryan city and school elec- tions were counted, officials arranged for the machine tabulating votes there to be brought to College Station. Tabulation in College Station was finished by 10 p.m. misunderstanding over College A few weeks ago, a College Sta- citizen contacted me about the the College Station Fire Depart- ment enforces its fire -lane code. Stanley Wood was at Furrow's Building Mate- rials, 1501 S. Texas 6, on March 16 and noticed that a fire lane was partially block -` ed by a conces- sion stand and a r. sales table. Fire- fighters, accompanied by a fire truck, were at the Furrow's passing out leaflets. Wood said. Wood thought blocking the fire lanes was a violation of the city's fire -lane code. POLICE By Eugene Cox Jr. "I'm not convinced of it being a problem here," Wood said. "I'm just curious about it .'" He asked one of the firefighters if any of them intended to have the tables moved. The - firefighters sai6,- "No." They believed that Furrow's had a fire marshal's or mayor's per- mit allowing the store to block the fire lanes. As it turned out, - the. owner of Furrow's and the firefighters were both misinformed. Furrow's didn't have a permit, and Furrow's mana- ger apparently misinterpreted the fire -lane code. Fire Chief Douglas Landua said there was a misunderstanding be- tween the inspectors and the fire- fighters, who assumed clearance had been granted by the inspectors. "We were able to take care of it so it won't happen again," Landua said. He said fire prevention person- nel will hold classes for all firefigh- &rs to explain th ?"city's fire - ordinance. Landua said College Station's fire -lane law requires: 1) A minimum 14 -foot height clearance; 2) A minimum 20 -foot width clearance between a building and the fire -lane line; and 3) A lane clearly marked "Fire Station fire. -lane laws Lane Tow Away Zone." Although the manager of Fur- row's was advised not to go into the fire lane, Landua said, the manager was not clear on the code's 20 -foot clearance requirement. "It was just a mistake and mis- understanding on his part," Landua said. "He wasn't sure on the width requirements. " Landua said the manager was not, issued a citation. Landua explained that only autho- rized vehicles are allowed to park in the fire lanes and that the store man- ager thought it was fine to block it partially, just as long as cars were able to get through. The displays protruded into the fire lane adjacent to the building, he said. There wasn't a full 20 -feet clearance. Landua, said violations of the fire - lane code are something firefighters need to watch for, whether some- thing blocks five feet of a fire lane or 15 feet. Firefighters, like rrrr �" y city offi- cials, value and respeffeitizens' in- put, and Woods' concern and curiosity paid off. Landua was not ashamed to admit that the fire de- partment made a mistake. He took Woods' concern and put it to work to educate firefighters about, the ci- ty's fire -lane code.

The Eagle /Monday, April 7, 1986 C� Fire destroys uvo units, damagc s 12 more in CS complex �-3 (D n tv O O sv n By EUGENE OX' JR. Staff Waster Close to 35 College Station fire- fighters battled a blaze, which des- troyed two apartments-And caused considerable damage to 12 othet apartments, for more than 90 minutes as tenants raced.to salvage their be- longings Sunday night. Firefighters were able to contain the fire that began about 7 p.m. at the Sausalito Apartments, 1001 Harvey Road, to one complex. Fire Chief Douglas Landua said the department's main concern was to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings. Landua said the fire, which spread through the attic of the building that housed apartments 93 through 106, is believed to have started at the south end of the build- ing, near apartment 105. Landua said none of the residents were injured, although one firefighter suffered from smoke inhalation and was taken to a local hospital. The residents in the apartments 93 -106 will be staying at the Texian Inn, 104 Texas Ave. in Bryan, until further notice. 1. An apartment leasing manager, who asked not to be identified, said an emergency fund will be estab- lished at a local bank to help those people burned or smoked out of their apartments. He said donations may be made at the Sausalito leasing office. Messages may be left at 696- 1323. This was the first major apartment fire in College Station since July 13, 1984, when three buildings of the Walden Pond Apartments on Holle- man Drive were destroyed. Landua said a wind from the south was pushing the fire northward and making it more difficult to contain. Landua said it was not known what caused the fire, which firefighters had under control at 8:48 p.m. One of the apartments destroyed, number 105, by the fire was rented by Sandy Davis, who is lead manager for the four aparment properties own- ed by James Point. The other three James Point properties are Sundance, Village Green and East Gate aoart- ments. College Station police Sgt. B.Vb Sims, the first officer on the scene said he knew there was going to bt problems when he saw the fire jump- ing into the air. "The whole end was consumed," he said. He said the dry weather may have contributed to the fire. Sims said the residents, for the most part Texas A &M students, helped each other during this crisis. He said they went around banging door to door, and helping those im- mediately affected by the fire remove what they could from their apart- ments. Turn to FIRE, 8A Fire "I wouldn't be surprised if it was something electrical," said Eric Cal- vert, a 22- year -old mechanical en= gineering major who lived in apart- ment 102. "We've been having pow- er surges almost every two weeks. " Calvert said he was in his apart- ment, two doors from 105, when he smelled a lot of smoke. "I got what I could out," Calvert said. "It spread so quickly." Calvert said the only thing he was able to rescue from the fire was his wallet and his motorcycle, which was tying against the building. "I'm m not going to have a damn thing left," he said. "I've lost every- thing. 1 don't know what I'm going to do as far as school." Coleman Rowland, a 21- year -old accounting major who lived in apart- ment 103 said he and his roommates were about to cook dinner when they smelled smoke. "I turned the oven off and then I walked outside and saw From 1A the living room of apartment 105 en gulfed," Rowland said. "That's when we started pulling our stuff out." Matt Lund, one of Rowland's roommate, like a lot of people who viewed the fire, was surprised that the fire reached the other end of the com- plex, near the laundry facilities. "I didn't think it would get that far," he said.

City of Bryan 03 -31- 86,04 -07 -86 The Eagle /Monday, April 7, 1986 • r ' • Halter gave inforix"ition for flier By JANN SNELL Staff Writer Outgoing College Station Mayor Gary Halter supplied information that was used in an anonymous flier about Lynn McIlhaney's alleged anti - business record near the end of the mayoral cam- paign. Pete Tucker, campaign manager for mayor -elect Larry Ringer, distributed the flier. He said Halter gave him the information — part of which, concern- ing a vote on Humana Hospital's expan- sion, was wrong. Halter admits he supplied Tucker with a list describing Mcllhaney's voting record on business issues at the request of Tucker and a group of unnamed businessmen. But Halter said he doesn't believe the Humana mistake was included. He also said he is not responsible for the flier mailed out by Tucker's company, Abso- lute Advertising. Neither Tucker nor Halter, however, would say who the unnamed business- men were . The flier contained no disclaimer naming a campaign treasurer or cam- paign address, as is required by state law. McIlhaney, a two-term council- woman who lost the election by 300 votes, said she believes she was the vic- tim of a smear campaign conducted by a ``secret committee." She said she is contemplating filing charges with the secretary of state over the apparent campaign violation, but she did not know when she will make that decision. Tucker said the businessmen discus- sed naming a treasurer for the group at a meeting six weeks ago, but no one was named. There is still no treasurer or for- mal organization for the group, Tucker said. Tucker said his agency, which de- signed the flier and mailed it to 600 Turn to HALTER, 4A • The Eagle /Tuesday, April 8, 1986 i 9 Halter businessmen, will absorb the $300 cost of the mailout. "No one's going to come forward and pay for this now," Tucker said. "The IRS, in a tax write -off, will pay for this." Tucker said he refused to give more detailed answers about the flier before the Saturday election because he felt it would not help either Ringer or McIlhaney. "I did not want to implicate a city official or tie him to the campaign," Tucker added. Tucker said Halter shares responsibil- ity for the negative tone of the flier, which he said was less negative than the letter Halter gave him. He also blamed Halter for the Humana statement, which he said w as contained in a letter Halter provided him. The statement said McIlhaney had voted against Humana Hospital's move to College Station, although no such vote ever took place. Tucker said: "I made two mistakes in the campaign. The first was not includ- ing a disclaimer, which slipped by me. And the second was the factual error in the flier.... I thought the mayor of Col- lege Station would know the facts." Tucker also reasserted that the busi- ness group met without Ringer's know- ledge an d that none of Ringer's cam- paign workers were present. The flier was mailed March 21, while Ringer was on a skiing hip, and Ringer did not see it until a week later, Tucker added. Ringer also said Monday he did not know of the flier until a week after it was mailed. He said he did not know which businessmen were involved, but he said his primary quarrel with the tactic is the negative tone of the flier. Ringer said he was disappointed that Halter was involved. "I thought he was going to try to stay out of the campaign," Ringer said. "I knew he was in my comer, but I thought he believed, as I did, that no public endorsement was necessary." Halter said he does not remember ever claiming that McIlhaney "voted aganst Humana Hospital coming to Col- lege Station," as was stated in the flier and in the letter Tucker said Halter gave him. That detail also was included in a charge Ringer made in a speech at a League of Women Voters meeting March 25. Halter said he never saw the flier and could not confirm whether the letter sup- plied by Tucker was the same informa- tion he gave Tucker. He did say that several points raised were similar to ones he gave Tucker. Halter also said he did not know that the information he supplied would be made into a campaign flier, he said he thought individual businessmen would use the information in personal letters to friends. From 1A Halter said that the businessmen who met in the group were concerned that McIlhaney was talking to bank presi- dents and other businessmen and that she might convince them she was pro- business when the group believed other- wise. Halter denied being part of the group; he said he simply supplied information when it was requested. "I'm not responsible for any of this," Halter said. "It dust gripes o make me that anyone would try t me the scapegoat. " Ringer that Halter said he agreed with Ring the strategy of Ringer's campaign should have been positive and stressed Ringer's accomplishments. "I didn't think the business issue mat- tered one way or the other, l didn't think it was a real issue in the campaign and I didn't think it would do to present Rin- ger as pro- business," Halter said. "The people of College Station don't vote for people whose stand is 'pro-business. "' But McIlhaney feels she was unfairly represented as being anti- business. "I have been fighting this for four years: innuendos and misrepresenta- tions," McIlhaney said. "That's why I was trying to talk to businessmen and present my record in the first place. "What I wonder is how many good people would ever run for this office if they knew what they were up again St.- CS school board elects Matthews as president By VIRGINIA KIRK Staff Writer Dr. Ken Matthews, a pediatrician, was elected president of the College Station school board in a special meeting Monday. President John Reagor retired from his position and received a gavel and plaque to commemorate his nine years of service to the board. The board passed a resolution thanking Reagor for his dedication and community spirit. While on the board, Reagor served as president for four terms, vice president for one term and secretary for one'term. Matthews presented Reagor with a subscription to the Disney Channel. "I heard you said something to Carter about getting out of this Mick- ey Mouse stuff," Matthews said. Reagor said he appreciated the gifts but did not have a whole lot to say because "I've said a lot in nine years. " Texas A &M associate registrar Donald Carter was elected to Reagor's position in Saturday's elec- tion and was sworn in by Reagor. The board elected Deanna Wor- muth vice president and trustee Jane Hughey was elected secretary. Matthews, who is starting his second year on the board, served on the school board in Navasota for three years before moving to College Sta- tion. He is a Denton native. He said the role of the school board is to give constructive criticism to the school administration, and to let the One vote does make a difference LEWISVILLE (AP) — One vote made the difference in the $20.1 mil- lion Denton County Levee Improve- ment District election. In fact, the one vote made it a unanimous decision. Mechefle Barnes was the only adult resident of the district. So when the district voted on a $20.1 million bond issue Saturday, she was the only voter and served as election judge as well. The proposal carried 1 -0. "I've never tried to avoid politics but I don't think I want this much pressure on me again," she said after closing her poll Saturday night. "When 20,000 other people vote with you, that's one thing. When you find out your vote is the only one out there, it's kind of scary," she said. "You wonder what's best." Owners of the property in the dis- trict plan to make some flood -control improvements and then use it for re- sidential and commercial develop- ment. The bond issue was needed to fi- nance construction of levees, pump stations and retention ponds. The cost of the bonds is expected to be bome by future property owners. Barnes, who rents property in the district and lives in a mobile home with her 10- year -old son, was square- ly behind the bond issue for the be- nefits it promised — better drinking water, more room for development and so on.

From Jan. 14 to March 5, Earth - scan, Inc., an electronic scanning company based in Austin, took ther- mographic photographs of all heated buildings in College Station, Charlie Shear, an energy specialist with the city, said. Two photographs were taken of most of the buildings, he said, which allows the structure to be viewed from different angles. Individual photographs of each building are displayed on a com- puter screen upon request at various neighborhood open houses sched- uled at various locations in the city through mid -May. Residents can view pictures of their homes to learn where heat is escaping in the winter and where it is gained in the summer, he said. The black and white images show light patches in areas where heat is escaping and dark patches where less heat is lost. Energy specialist reports Ways By Molly Pepper Reporter The coming of hot weather can mean a huge electricity bill, but College Station Energy Specialist Charlie Shear says there are ways to save money other than the clas- sic advice of "turn the thermostat up „ One way is to have the air con- ditioner cleaned and serviced once a year.

To further cut down on the cost of running the air condi- tioner, Shear says homeowners should go into the attic and check the duct work. If the duct is leak- ing air, he says, the holes should be covered with duct tape. Just turning the air conditioner off while no one's home can be a big money saver, Shear says. "If a person has a fairly well in- sulated home, it's more economi- cal to turn things off t to leave sis with recommendations on how to improve energy use. Cost estimates of the im provements suggested are included, along with the amount of time it 0 residents losing energy tr to save money on bills them running all day long," he says. But Shear cautions against turning off the air conditioning if there are pets or plants that stay indoors. Shear suggests letting the wind cool the house sometimes. Rais- ing a window about half way on the windward side of the house and opening a window on the other side of the house will create a natural air flow, he says. K He says that in a 1,600 square - ot home, about 600,000 cubic feet of air passes through in one day. That's enough to fill up three Goodyear blimps, he says. Shear suggests other ways to save energy and money. • Weather strip leaks in win- dows and other penetrations such as electrical outlets. • Match the size of the pot to the size of the burner when using a gas or electric stove.

For every child that suffers the pain of treatment and effects of the dis- ease, a parent suffers too. Donna Penson of College Station Etas, organized a parent support group with the help of a social worker from St. Joseph Hospital. The support group provides a rap session format for parents to discuss their child's illness. Penson's.15- year -old son, Johnny, was diagnosed as having a brain tu- mor two years ago. Gayla and Jave Cronaii— "At the beginning, 1 had a rough time," she says. "One day, Johnny was quarterback for his eighth grade football team, and the next day, he had cancer. "It's been hard. Sometimes Johnny says, `Mommy, am I .going to die ?' But I've got to tell him that we're (his family) fighting for his life as much as he is. And we're going to do everything possible to keep him going." Penson first became aware of a parent support group in Galveston, where Johnny was being treated in a ,hospital. She realized the impor- tance of starting a program here. "I'm interested to helping parents_ build an awareness up and make them realize that other people are inflicted with the same problem," Penson says. "I want parents to real- ize that they're not alone. There are other people out there who have kids with cancer, and they know what each other's going through. "I find that Johnny's doctors are very supportive of this organization, and Johnny's physician feels that talking to others about the illness is an ideal release mechanism for par- ents." Johnny's physician, Dr. George McIlhaney, is a family practicioner in College Station. He says the group benefits the parents, who often have a tendency to isolate themselves from the rest of society. "The family members (of children with cancer) feel that they're the only ones with a problem," McIlha- ney says. "I think when you get to talk with other people, you don't only get support from them, but you also help them in a situation or crisis. "That's always beneficial for the way we feel about ourselves. It gives us all a sense of accomplishment and well- being." McIlhaney says the most difficult thing a parent must deal with is ac- cepting the fact that their child has a fatal disease. "I hate to see a child in pain," he says. "I know doctors are supposed to be tough, but it bothers me." McIlhaney says parents are the most important priority to consider when he detects cancer in children. Depending on the age of the child, McIlhaney says, the parents should be told first. Gayly C:ronauer's son Jave, 5, was diagnosed as having leukemia by McIlhaney six months ago. "When I first found out Jave (Cronauer's son) had cancer, I thought to myself, `How long does my child have to live ?' " Cronauer says. "But Dr. McIlhaney has been so supportive and positive. He tells you what a long way leukemia has come nowadays, and there is a good chance for a cure." The society reports that leukemia is the most common form of cancer in children. The Battalion /Thursday, April 10, 1986 Photo by Anthony Casper • ; of cancer patients "1'm just hoping Jave stays in re- nission," Cronauer says. McIlhaney says he highly recom- mends the program to his patient's parents but thinks they must make the final decision to attend. Cronauer says, "It really doesn't bother me to open up with others because if there is some way I can help someone else understand, and somehow relate to what they're feel- ing, then I want to do it." But Penson says some parents feel uncomfortable talking about their child. McIlhaney says, "It's the unknown which frightens us the most. When parents don't share their problems with others, they'll never reach that initial step of finally coming to terms with the situation. "Ifs good having someone there that says, `I've been through that, and this is what I did.' " Cronauer says seeing her son go for treatments is the most painful experience she encounters. "Jave hates going to the doctor," she says. "Though he's too young to really understand what cancer is, he knows what's going to happen to him when he goes for treatment. "The spinal taps are very painful for him, and he screams uncontrol- lably. You can't do anything to calm him down. Even though he's scream- ing his head off, I know the treat- ment has to be done. "I'm split right down the middle. Jave says to me, 'Mommy, please don't let them hurt me.' "But I know it's going to cure him. I just know it," Cronauer says in a trembling voice. Cronauer says that meetings are composed of parents now, but any- one who wants to contribute to the group may attend. She says she ex- pects that once more people begin attending the meetings, the parents will invite guest speakers such as doctors, psychologists and cancer re- searchers to speak. Meetings are held every second Thursday at 7 p.m. at Peace Lu- theran Church on 1100 FM Rd. 2818 in College Station. The next f meeting is scheduled for April 24. Cancer victim Jave Cronauer at play.

Mayor Larry Ringer, councilman Dick Haddox, councilwoman Pat Boughton and councilwoman Sara G. Jones were sworn in by municipal judge Phil Banks. Rmger said he was nervous about the induction, but he looks forward to the challenge of replacing former mayor Gary Halter. "You (Halter) are a tough act to follow, but I'll do my best," Ringer said. He said he wants the citizens' sup- port and hopes to work with -the city council and staff to address prob- lems facing the city. Ringer said a number of advisory committees have positions open. He encouraged citi- zens to participate in these pro- ..,--. m "1 want the citizens to tell us when we're right and when we're wrong," Ringer said The city presented awards to for- mer council members Lynn McIlha- hey, Robert Runnels and Halter. Halter served II years on the council, the last six as mayor. He said he won't miss the phone calls and the meetings, but will miss friends on the council and in city hall. "Some people thought I would break EiAn,est Langford's record," Halter said. Langford served 24 years as Colle<g� Station mayor. Halter said he learned much about the city's op_eyations from city manager William Cole, and the city will be in good hands with the new council. Runnels, who served six years on council, said he didn't always agree with some of the council's programs, but that the council did accomplish some important goals. The Battalion /Friday, April 11, 1986 Former CS mayor Gary Halter � reflects on his years in office "My primary motivations for seeking election stem from a concern over the lack of land use planning, enforce- ment of the zoning ordinance and proposed street extensions that threaten to destroy established neigh- borhoods. " By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer nyone who remembers Gary Halter's sup- port for extending Appomattox Drive, any- one who remembers his railing against the NIMBYs (a word he favors for someone who says, "I want new streets and services, but Not In My Back Yard! ") — anyone, in short, who's at all familiar with Halter's political career will have a hard time believing that the words above came from the former mayor's mouth. But they did, in 1975, when he announced his first candidacy for College Station City Council. In interviews ;ust before and just after the April 5 election, Halter ,coked back on a career in municipal politics that started with that statement in 1975 and ended Thursday when Larry Ringer was sworn in as mayor. He admitted that 11 years in municipal office have changed his outlook. n 1975, Halter was a Texas A &M assistant profes- sor of political science — he has since been prom- oted to associate professor — and he decided to run for the council, in part to stop a street extension. The Texas Department of Highways and Public Trans- portation had proposed making Ashburn Avenue a major north -south artery, a second Texas Avenue. "And I think that over the years t caui. — . -__ that perhaps my own special interests were not the same as the interests of the community as a whole." But it isn't easy, Halter said, to discover the in- terests of the community as a whole, or even the de- sires of the citizenry as a whole. "When we go back to basic theories of govern- ment," he said, "the Declaration of Independence tells us that government is derived from the consent of the governed. That's true, it's hard to argue against that, but the problem is always to determine what the consent of the governed is." It may be hard to determine the consent of the governed on any specific issue, but it's not hard to discover what the governed in College Station have thought of Halter. In his first race, he swamped a businessman, James Jett, by a 3 -1 margin. It was the last time he would face an opponent. He was re- elected to the council in 1977 and 1979 with- out opposition. He filed to succeed Lorence Bravenec as mayor in 1980 and no one opposed him. No one contested his 1982 re- election bid. And no one else entered the 1984 mayoral race. In six political races, Halter's election was con- tested only once. Why did Halter — hardly the sort of politician who soft - pedals his opinions to boost his popularity — draw so little opposition? Halter said three explanations can be offered.. The first analysis says he was "the only one dumb enough to do it" — an answer that Halter said begs the question. The second analysis says everyone was afraid to run against him. Halter gave slightly more credence to this theory; it's something his opponents have repeated often enough, intimating that a campaign against Halter would be a dirty campaign. That feeling arises partly from Halter's wit — acerbic and sometimes hurtful. He said he has been frank about his opinions and admitted that he hasn't always been tactful. "I don't know, I tend to overreact to things and to respond in kind (to attacks)," he said. "One of my shortcomings — and I think I've im- proved on it over the years — is that I don't suffer fools very well. And I have tried to improve (my) patience. " Halter said his wife, Linda, has done wonders for him in that area. "She was very often one of the best advisers I had," he said. "She would settle me down — she's a lot smarter than I am in many respects ... and one thing that was very helpful was that she told me not to take attacks personally.... "I did take things very personally. " The Eagle /Sunday, April 13, 1986 That's the street where Halter lives, and the plan made him angry. Although he still thinks the Ashburn artery was a bad idea, he said he has learned that special interests must be balanced against one another for the good of the city as a whole. "It's never too late to learn," he said. "Obvious- ly, I think I started out very much as a NIMBYcrat, a Not- In -My- Back - Yarder, looking at my own very narrowly defined special interests. ____ *� 'alize 17 H alter said, however, that his personality — for- midable though it may be — may not explain the dearth of candidates willing to run against, him. The third explanation, he said, is that he has done a good job on the council, that what he has done "is not all that far out of line with what the people of College Station want." And over the past I 1 years, Halter said, he has helped do the following: i Built an outstanding parks system. Halter said many others also have worked hard to improve the parks system, and he gave his predecessor, Mayor Bravenec, much of the credit for improving the parks. But Halter said he has done his part in voting for the resources needed to make the parks as good as they are. ■ Improved city finances and management. Haltet said the city is better managed now than it was in 1975; the result is a city with a statewide reputation for being well run. As support for that argument, Halter pointed to the number and the quality of the candidates who applied last year for the city mana- ger's position. ■ Established a community center. Most of the :redit belongs to former Councilman Tony Jones, Halter said, but he added that he did his part for it. ■ Enacted sign - control and landscape ordinances. Because of those ordinances, Halter said, College Station is a more attractive city than it was in 1975. And he said the city's example is leading businesses in Bryan to adopt many of College Station's land- scaping measures because "looking good is good for business." ■ Acted to preserve the city's history. Halter is happy about the council's recent creation of the his- toric preservation committee and is proud of pushing for city sponsorship of historical projects and sur- veys, including the Richard Carter Park, a history of the city, and a survey that has located faculty mem- bers' homes that once stood on the A &M campus. ■ Worked toward better relations with the city of Bryan. Halter said he's proud of having cooperated with former Bryan Mayor Richard Smith in smoo- thing relations between the two cities. In the late 1970s, a fight between the two cities erupted over electrical service, but Halter began meeting with Smith in 1980 to improve inter -city cooperation. Several things, Halter said, have grown out of those meetings, among them the local animal shelter — "a model shelter statewide." ■ Laid a foundation for growth that will last for years. College Station's population almost tripled during Halter's time on the council — from an esti- mated 18,000 in 1975 to an estimated 53,000 in 1985 — but he said the city kept up with growth "without ever having to slow or prevent develop- ment. " For example, it built a water system that, with some expansion, will serve the city for decades The credit for much of that foresight, Halter said, belongs to former City Manager North Bardell, who had an ability to foresee growth and find ways to accommodate it. Bardell and Halter were largely re- sponsible for the city's long -range plan, and Halter listed it as one of his administration's major accom- plishments. ut some plans have gone astray, Halter said, am some have been delayed. Under that heading, he listed three major issues: water quality, traffic plan- ning and the city's industrial foundation. Although the city's water- distribution system is adequate for years to come, Halter said, the city's water quality leaves something to be desired. Be- cause of its high sodium content, the water isn't good for people or for plants. Moreover, it tastes bad. To dilute the salt in the water, Halter advocates building a reservoir on the Navasota River, the Panther Creek project. Because the project is so big — the cost of the 63,400 -acre reservoir has been estimated at $700 million — and because federal money for such projects has dried up, Panther Creek needs the involvement of a large city, such as Houston. But Houston, Halter said, has been sluggish: "As someone said, trying to get Houston to do anything is like trying to kick a 500 -pound wet „ sponge. Halter also is disappointed over what he sees as he dismantling of the city's traffic- management pla )y neighborhood groups. At times, those groups ha (ought back when the city has worked to extend streets to provide better traffic access. Probably the sharpest such dispute in this decade :oncerned the linking of sections of Appomattox Drive, east of the East Bypass. Proponents, including the mayor, said the exten- sion was needed because of improvements planned for the bypass. When the frontage roads are made one -way and the crossings at Ponderosa Drive and Deacon Street are closed, they said, residents of sub- divisions like Raintree and Emerald Forest will need a way to get home without making long detours. But opponents said the extension of Appomattox would harm neighborhoods east of the bypass. They killed the extension in 1983. That's an example, Halter said, of special interests working against the welfare of the city as a whole. "Obviously, there's a need to protect neighbor- hoods," he said. "At one point in time I think I've been accused of destroying a whole passel of neigh- borhoods — we almost need to have a list: Here are the ones Halter destroyed. And I'm always amused at that because it was always an effort to balance one interest against another....

A plan that exists but that, so far, hasn't worked out is the city's hope for building an industrial park south of town. The College Station Indust- rial Foundation was established to de- velop the park, but after numerous delays it was replace0y the College Station Economic Development Foundation late last year.. Halter attributed many of the de- lays to opposition from some council members. The delays, he said, the eco n prove damaging, nomy has S and A &M ha both the city of Bryan their own industrial parks.

As for the realities of what he did, Halter is modest. He said he ran a clean administration: No 'one ever tried to bribe him, -and threats against him were few. He may not have been universally popular — and during this election campaign it sometimes seemed that Councilman Lynn Mcnhaney was running against Hal- ter, not Ringer — but he thinks he did what he set out to do. "Someone who says they're a mayor for all the people is either not thinking clearly or they're attempting to delude somebody,' he said. "You're not going to be that, y o going to balance one special interest against another. Somebody's going los to win and somebody's going t — it's zero- sum....

The Eagle/Monday, April 14, 1986 � CS mayoral race was a tough one to predict L Surprise. That seemed the dominant emo- tion at College Station City Hall on Election Night. After a two -hour delay, mostly due to a defec- tive vote - <X counting machine, the re- sults started coming in. They were amazing. The mayor's race, which many thought Councilman Lynn Mcllhaney had locked up, went to former Councilman Larry Ringer by a substantial margin. The breadth of Ringer's victory was as surprising as the margin. He lost in only one box and tied in another, taking such Mcllhaney strongholds as So uth and Eo Elementary (by two Station No. 2 (by nine votes). He even came within 40 votes (out of 478) of winning Mcllhaney's home precinct, which votes at the Police Station. The margin of victory was sub- stantial, but it wasn't crushing, and the percentages really don't tell the story. Although Ringer won by 10 percentage points — 55.1 percent to Mcllhaney's 44.9 percent — his margin was only 303 votes out of 2,975 cast. That doesn't sound quite so impressive. However, the mere fact of Rin- ger's victory, whatever the margin, shows how hard it is to predict the outcome of an election to which CITY HALL By Daniel Puckett only a few people vote. Early in the campaign, many observers, including some of Rin- ger's supporters, thought Mcllhaney was ahead. As the election drew nearer, that perception didn't change. Then came the campaign's final week. One of the charges that Rin- ger had made against Mcllhaney couldn't be documented; an anony- mous and apparently illegal letter attacking Mcllhaney came to light. The Eagle wrote an endorsement of Ringer that disparaged McIlhaney —to her benefit, many thought. By the day before the election, it was hard to find anyone who thought Ringer's cause was anything but lost. Then he won. He won convin- cingly, if not overwhelmingly. And that fact makes one wonder: If not for the inaccurate charge, if not for the illegal letter, and if not for the negative editorial, how big would Ringer's margin have been? Was Mcllhaney ever ahead in the race? We'll never know. But it'll give City Hall observers something to discuss for the next year. Along that line, some observers wonder how the negative tone of the campaign's last week affected turn- out. The theory is that a nasty cam- paign will turn voters off and keep them at home on Election Day. That may be true, although 3,002 people — an estimated 18 percent of those eligible — turned out to vote, the highest percentage turnout in this decade for a College Station municipal election. And few of those who did go to the polls decided against voting in the negative mayoral contest. The mayor's race, in fact, drew the most votes: 2,975. The smallest number of votes — 2,752 — came in what was probably the contest with the lowest profile: the Place 6 race be- tween Dick Haddox and David Brochu. Voting results across the city showed an interesting uniformity. The three winners — Ringer, Had - dox, and Sara Goode Jones in Place 2 — won almost every precinct. Ringer lost only Mcllhaney's lame precinct and tied in the Northgate student box. Haddox lost only his opponent's home box. And Jones didn't lose in any precinct at all. The vote totals for the three also show an interesting uniformity: 1,639 votes for Ringer, 1,722 votes for Jones and 1,712 votes for Haddox. All three deny that they were members of a slate. In interviews on Election Night, Ringer and Jones stressed that they knew all sorts of people who voted for Jones but not for Ringer, or vice versa. But the vote totals suggest that` many voters, for whatever reason, thought they should vote for a three candidate group: Ringer, Jones and Haddox.

Dian Jones, City Secretary Gary M. Halter, Mayor 0312- 86,0319 -86 — _ By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer To enjoy better circulation this fall, College Station motorists will have to endure clogged arteries this summer. It's road -work season again. Three street - extension projects, all of which should be finished by fall, will give motorists a safer way to drive across the Southern Pacific rail- road tracks, a new way to avoid con- gestion around Post Oak Mall, and a different way to reach the East Bypass from the Texas A &M campus. But repaving and reconstruction projects — several are scheduled — probaNy will give motorists ^daches. Officials hope that all of the road work will be complete by the time A &M students return to town in August, but while they're gone, there will be better ways to get around town than via Southwest Parkway and Har- vey Road. The city hasn't started work on one of the three new streets: the new rail- road crossing at Holleman Drive. Municipal officials have been trying to open the crossing as a replacement for the Luther Street crossing, where two A &M students were killed and another was injured in September 1984. City Engineer David Pullen said this week that the city can't start work until Southern Pacific finishes its part of the project. Crossing signals have been erected, he said, but railroad crews still must install the signa arms, the timber crossing betweer, the tracks, and the interconnection between the signals and the traffic lights at Holleman and Wellborn Road. once that work is complete, a con- tractor will connect the existing sec- tions of Holleman east and west of the tracks, a project estimated to cost $140,000. That work, to be adver- tised for bids next month, shouldn't take long; Pullen said the crossing could be open as early as June. But a more realistic target, he said, is sometime before the students return. The other new street projects are already under way. Last fall, the city let a $1.4 million contract to Young Bros. Contractors for construction of the Dartmouth Street - Holleman Drive extension. Pullen said the streets, which should be open by late June or early July, will improve traffic circulation around Post Oak Mall. Under a $316,000 contract, Down- ing Bros. is extending Lincoln Drive to University Drive, where it will connect with Spring Loop. Pullen said the new street Will provide an alternate route from A &M to the East Bypass and should "relieve some of the traffic stress" on the busy in- tersection at University and Texas Avenue. In addition, the new street, which will connect with Munson Avenue, will provide the neighborhoods along Munson and Ashburn Avenue with better access to the bypass. Pullen said. On the far south side, work is under way on the $1.2 million Greens Prairie Road project. Pullen said the contractor, Young Bros., is trans- forming Greens Prairie from "a path through the woods to a two -lane street. The street will provide access to Turn to TRAFFIC. 6A The Eagle /Saturday, April 19, 1986 season of road work CS ready to endure another Dartmouth Street and Holleman Drive are being linked Traffic 0 the site of the proposed College Sta- tion Industrial Park at Greens Prairie and Rock Prairie roads. Pullen ex- pects the project to be finished by early to mid -July. While dodging those projects, their way way a lso through work on th read e streets: ■ Work on major arteries: Two major arteries in College Station are slated for construction work this summer. Harvey Road: The State Depart- ment of Highways and Public Trans - portation is already at work on this project. A department spokesman said workers are widening the street and adding curbs, gutters and storm sewers. Throughout the project, the high- way department hopes to keep at least .two lanes open to traffic. Wor o 'should be complete by Aug ;September. This sum- ` Southwest Parkway: the mer, city crews will fo d Street and street between Lang Texas Avenue, and a contractor — `yet to be selected —will replace the culvert under the street at Bee Creek ° Park. Because of that work, Pullen said, Southwest Parkway "will be a good 'place to stay aw r � losed, but traft won't be completely fic will be restricted. Pullen hopes the work will be finished by the time A &M students return. But work on the culvert re- placement won't begin until June at the earliest, making completion by August problematic. ■ Other repaving, reconstruction and curb - replacement p j Several streets are slated for repairs A From 1A Holleman Drive soon will cross the railroad• tracks. In addition, two intersections – Munson at Rose Circle, and Timbc Street at Park Place — will be rc paired this summer. This fall, tw drainage structures — Universit Oaks at Merry Oaks'Park and Mario Pugh Drive just south of Jersey Stre — will be repaired. ■ Community Development re paving: Crews will rebuild Arizona and Phoenix streets, Nevada Street between Arizona and Phoenix, Eleanor Street north of Thompson Street, and Fairview Street from Luther to Holleman. Fairview and Eleanor should be finished by mid- August; contracts for the rest should be let x b mo nth work should be complete Y or November. Federal Community Development funds will pay for these projects, which have a total cost of about $500,010. this year, all during the summe o less otherwise noted. These projects are being built with city crews, mak- ing their total cost difficult to esti- mate because the city doesn't sepa- rate out the crews' work time on these projects from that on other projects, Fmfeather Road: Work on the road between F &B Road and the city limits is 90 percent complete. The road should reopen to through traffic this month. Lincoln Street: Crews will repave and reconstruct the street between Foster and Tarrow streets. Work will begin by early summer. University Oaks Boulevard: Curbs will be replaced and t street will be repaved between Kyle Street South and Stallings Drive.

(jary 17CllLer 5 3 rwvv will be missed in CS The Gary Halter Show isn't play - ing College Station City Hall any more and I, for one, will miss it. For 11 years — five as a council- man and six as mayor — Halter has had little com- petition for the title of wittiest public official in Brazos County. It's hard, for ex ample, to think ><' of anyone else who would sly- ly, briefly im- itate a character from Saturday Night Live in mid - meeting. Unfortunately, Halter's wit also has hurt some of the people who were its target. For that reason, among others, not every resident of the city holds Halter in great esteem. But even those who dislike him, I suspect, would admit that Halter's unique. Fortunately, the new mayor, Lar- ry Ringer, is also a member of that rare breed: the politician with a sense of humor. More than once, I've seen him disrupt a meeting of the Texas A &M Faculty Senate with a quiet bon mot. But where Ringer is a Bob Ne- whart, Halter is more a Lenny Bruce. Ringer's humor is gentle; Halter's is anything but. Halter's value to the city, of course, went far beyond his ability to amuse. In a sense, he has been doing something for which he spent most of his adulthood training. As a political scientist, Halter has been studying political affairs fo CITY HALL By Daniel Puckett years. In municipal government, he has had an opportunity to put the things he has learned into practice. That is not to say, of course, that every stand he has taken has been the correct one, nor that he has been unfailingly civil to his opponents. The first time 1 saw him, in fact, was at a City Council meeting dur- ing which he was appallingly brus- que with a woman who didn't want her home annexed. She wasn't con- vinced, and he came across as, well, mean. But it has always been difficult to doubt his sincerity; even — or perhaps especially — when he was at his harshest, he seemed honestly convinced that he was in the right. Whatever Halter's faults, the resi- dents of College Station never seriously tried to oust him from the mayor's office. That can be inter- preted in a number of ways, but I think his analysis is right: I think it's because he did pretty much what they elected him to do. They probably would have re- elected him this year if he'd wanted the job, but 11 years is a long time to devote to municipal office. It's understandable that he should want to favor his vocation at the universi- ty over his avocation at City Hall. But I'll miss him and so, I sus- s pect, will more than a few others. r For we won't see another like him In case anyone is wondering, Col- lege Station residents were in an un- usual situation during Halter's te- nure as mayor: Few other places have elected political scientists to office. The American Political Science Association, Halter told me a few weeks ago, tried a few years ago to develop a list of political scientists in elective office. The list, he said, contained only about 25 names. Halter, as I said, spent 11 years in municipal office: five as a council member and six as mayor. But look- ing at the City Council roster for 1984 points up an interesting fact: Only one current council member, Pat Boughton, was on the council two years ago. Ringer was on the council for seven years, but he left office in 1983. Boughton has been on the council since 1978. The rest of the current council has little experience in city government. Councilmen James Bond, Fred Brown and Terri Tongco have been on the council for one year. Council- men Dick Haddox and Sara Goode Jones have never been in municipal office before. Halter doesn't think that will hurt city government. The new council, he said, is composed of intelligent people, who will learn quickly. And having new viewpoints on the coun- cil, Halter said, may be good for the city, very good indeed. The new council members cei tainly seem eager to give it a try. paa /ik The Eagle /Monday, April 21, 1986 • • 1 r, u day N this on tand of B Wilkersoo), A brief at+ ture of tt' to -wit: An actio! promissr pal sdm Hundr. $2' U, I e� TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The College Station City Council will hold a public hearing on the question of re- zoning the follo ,property: A 10.02 acre :rack located along the west side of the ex- tension of Dartmouth Drive, south of and adjacent to the KFO Addition, Phase 111, apx. 150 feet north of the Brent- wood Subdivision, from R -2 Duplex to R -5 Medium Density Apartments.

About $44 million of the budget revenues will be derived from the ci utility fund. The city's general fund will contribute an additional S13 million to the budget. The rest of the budget will be de- rived from the hotel -motel tax fund, the debt service fund and the sanita- tion fund. - City manager William - Cole said this year's proposed • budget rep- resents a $1.38 million dollar in- crease over last year's budget. The main reason for the increase is rising utilitv costs, he said. Assistant city manager Van Van - Dever said each city department has made its individual budget as streamlined as ppossible. The pro- posed budget wi11 not allow for the addition of new programs, or addi- tional personnel, he said. "Each department is going to have to tighten their belts a little," Van - Dever said. Cole said this year's budget is a re- flection of the economic conditions in the city. "This ha4been a particularly diffi- cult year in Brazos County, Cole said. "This budget is an attempt to reflect the conditions in the county." Cole said the city expects to re- ceive $I 00,000 from the federal gov- ernment's revenue sharing fund. This represents a $550,000 decrease from last year, he said. I he city's general fund will make up for the decrease, Cole said. A public hearing will be held May 8 to consider how the city should di- vide the money in the revenue shar- ing fund. The budget is scheduled for final approval June 6. In other action the council ap- proved a resolution that will allow the city to obtain reimbursement from the State Highway Department for issuing littering citations. City attorney Cathy Locke said tinder this incentive. program the city will receive $20 for every citation issued. The purpose of the program is to promote public awareness of stricter litter law enforcement, she said. Under the program the cit} stands to make $25,000, she said. The Battalion /Friday, April 25, 1986 'rotess ortorney vie for position Place 2 hopefuls pledge equality ""wB Teresa Moritz and Katherine Matzinger Reporters Both candidates for the College station City Council Place 2, Bob Runnels and Sara Goode Jones, say :hey are running to represent all of college Station's different groups. Incumbent Runnels, associate professor of meteorology at A &M, is running for a fourth term for Phce:'`2 on the council against Sara Goode Jones, a local attorney. A member of the council since 1980, he says he is pursuing a fourth term because he is impressed with new city manager, William King Cole, and he would like to continue working on the city's comprehensive plan and long range budgeting proc- ess. "I would like to see more commu- nication efforts being made to effec- tively involve the public in the btit - get- making process," Runnels says. "I th' we could snake better use of the channels and hold more public r.rums to let the community know the issues at hand. I think it's important that people be involved." Background Runnels, 50, is a. native of Hous- ton. "I just want to have a part in di- -ecting (College Station's) growth in he right direction." Runnels graduated from the Uni- versity of Houston in 1960 with a bachelor's degree in phN sics and re- ceived his master's degree in meteo- rology from A &M in 1962. Upon graduation he worked for NASA for two years. In 1966 he came back to A &M to complete his education, receiving his doctorate in meteorology in 1968. Runnels has been a professor at A &M since 1966 and has lived in College Station ever since with his wife, Sandra and four children. Runnels says he is a member of A &M United Methodist Church and was very involved with its adminis- tration until he ran for city council. "I first ran for the City Council position because I felt my ideas were worth listening to," Runnels says. "I wanted to have a hand in the plan- ning of the city." Since he has been on the Council, Runnels has chaired the capital im- provements committee and served as mayor protempore. o- Issues One of the big issues in the past has been zoning standards, he says. "The use of land is always a per- sonal and emotional subject," he says, "but I feel I represent many of the citizens when I say the city's zon- ing standards are good and we should stick to them." Runnels also says he will represent all of the citizens of College Station. "I will try to voice the concerns of the majority of the citizens instead of one opinionated group," he says. "I also try not to divide the town into students and nonstudents. I'm seek- ing everyone's vote, which includes students." Runnels says if he is re- elected, he would like to see the city expand its parks and recreation facilities. "Because we have an unusual number of citizens between the ages of 18 and 25, College Station needs to provide more services to meet these young adult's needs," he says. Some ideas Runnels says he has for the city is to create a wildnerness park for camping as well as expand the sports fields in the community. Challenger Jones, Runnels' challenger, says College Station could benefit from a change on the College Station City Council, and she says she can pro- vide that change. "I feel I can do the job better," she says. Jones, 44, has four children and has lived in College Station since she was four. "I grew up here, and I love this town," Jones says. "The quality of life is better in a town this size, and I wanted my children to grow up here. "It is a nice place to raise a family, and it has a cultural advantage with A &M." Jones completed her undergrad- uate work at the University of Texas and earned her law degree at Baylor University. Jones says she has experience run- ning a business and can understand the needs of businesspeople as well as the needs of the A &M commu- nity. "I am the daughter of an A &M professor," she says. "I can identil with the A &M segment." Concerns But trying to encourage bu! nesses to operate in College Static does not mean a person is uncarir about the neighborhoods, Jon says. "I don't want to be cast as again zoning," Jones says. "I'm definite in favor of zoning. The system � have is good, because people ha the right to appeal zoning ideas the Council. Jones says she favors developme and growth than Bob Runnels. "It (College Station) can't stay tl same size forever, and only chant and growth can keep it alive," sl says. The Council needs to resear and study to find long term utili operations at affordable rates, Jon says. Experience She says her business experien and her role as a lawyer will he with her role as a councilwoma Jones says. "The role of a lawyer is solvii problems, analyzing them ar knowing how to solve them," he sal, "I think that role will carry over working on the council." Besides working as an attorm Jones is in a leadership class spc sored by the College Station Chai ber of Commerce and a member the Education Committee of tl Brazos County Bar Association. The Batallion/ College Station staff offers By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer The College Station city staff on Thursday proposed a lean budget that compensates for falling revenues with- out raising taxes. The City Council is expected to work on that budget from now until June 25, six days before the 1986 -87 fiscal year begins. A public hearing on the budget will be held May 8. The proposed net operating budget totals $53.6 mil- lion, up 2.7 percent from this year's $52.2 million. But, said City Manager W. King Cole, that slight increase actually masks a slight decrease. The entirety of the increase, he told the council, comes from a projected increase in the cost of buying electrical power. When the cost of power is taken out of the budget, he said, the budget shows a net decrease of 0.01 percent: $30,000. The $40.9 million utility fund is by far the largest portion of the city's budget. Finance Director A.E. "Van" VanDever called the budget "a maintenance budget" that embarks on few new ventures. Falling revenues are the reason why. The budget projects a decline in sales -tax revenues — from $3.1 million this year to $2.9 million next year. f sales -tax receipts fall, it will be the first time in 10 years. The budget also envisions the end of the federal re- venue- sharing program, which poured $700,000 into the city's budget this year. In the past, money from the program has paid for capital improvements and for some social programs. Cole told the council that the staff wants to make up for those losses without raising taxes, leaving the prop- erty tax rate at 38 cents per $100 assessed valuation. Instead of raising taxes, he said, the staff hopes to use reserve revenues and tighter spending controls. The distribution of the property -tax revenues would remain the same. Two cents of the 38 would be put in a fund for the College Station branch of the Bryan Lib- rary, and the rest would go toward debt service. Despite its austerity, the proposed budget would pay for a modest pay increase for city employees, pumping 3.7 percent more money into salaries. It also would leave funding for many programs intact. From'the hotel -motel tax, the proposed budget allo- cates $187,000 for the Bryan - College Station Chamber Turn to BUDGET, 4A budget From of Commerce, $75,000 for the Arts Council of Brazos Valley and $7,500 W the Bryan- College Station Athle- Federation. 1 And, for probably the last time, hat's left of federal revenue - sharing rey is doled out among three acti- tes. The budget combines 10,000, unexpended from this s revenue - sharing funds, with ,000 still expected in the next fiscal year. The city's fiscal year starts July 1, and the federal government's on Oct. 1. The $100,000 will fund the re- mainder of the federal government's commitment for its fiscal year 1986, but will be paid in the city's FY 1987. Of the nearly $600,000 in the FY 1987 revenue - sharing fund, the staff proposes transferring $500,000 to the general fund, and giving $54,549 to the Mental Health Mental Retarda- tion Authority of Brazos Valley, $2,500 to the Retired Senior Volun- teer Program and $3,000 to the sum- mer library program. The council voted to schedule pub- lic hearings on the revenue - sharing and operating budgets for May 8. On that date, the council is scheduled to approve the basic budget — the amount needed to fund activities at The Eagle /Friday, April 25, 1986 this year's levels. On May 22, the schedule calls f council vote on "decision packag for the general and the rever sharing funds. The decision packs govern programs and purcho above this year's levels.

However, he said, he t had no indication that the FmH1 offer of a loan will expire at a point. By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer The College Station City Council )n Thursday dammed up — tempor- arily — a source of funds for the Wellborn Water Supply Corp. The water company wants to bor- row $900,000 from the Farmers Home Administration to double the number of customers it can serve. But the agency won't lend the money un- til the city changes a provision in its water - supply contract with the com- pany. T provision allows the city, witNut charge, to take over water service in any area it annexes that is served by the water company. The company serves about 1,300 custom- ers in a region between the Brazos and Navasota rivers that stretches from the College Station city limits to Millican and Peach Creek, said cor- poration Secretary Hugh Lindsay. The FmHA, Lindsay said, fears that the city's exercise of that provi- sion would impair the corporation's ability to repay its loan by taking away its customers. The provision, he said, is the only obstacle to the agency's granting the loan. But City Attorney Cathy Locke said the city got the takeover rights in exchange for charging the company low rates for water. The corporation pays the same price for water that College Station residential customers do. And City Manager W. King Cole warned the council that striking the takeover provision would subject the city to federal constraints when it wishes to expand. Without that provi- sion, he said, the city might not be able to extend water service to new residents after annexation. Councilman Pat Boughton said that could result in some residents of College Station being forced to pay higher rates for water than others. Although the company pays the re- sidential rate to the city, it charges its customers an additional amount to raise revenue. Lindsay said the city may already be unable to take over service in new- ly annexed areas, despite the takeov- er provision. Because the water cor- poration already owes the FmHA money, the agency might object if the city takes over water service in areas served by the corporation, he said. Cole retorted: "We wouldn't have entered into that contract if we'd known that." Councilman Dick Haddox sug- gested the city strike the provision and simultaneously raise the rate it charges the company for water. The extra money, he said, could be used to pay for taking over service in new- ly annexed areas served by the cor- poration. Cole said a staff study of the price needed could take two months. The water company, he said, is hoping for faster action than that. Councilman Fred Brown then The Eagle /Fridav, April 25, 1986 �S street to be tied by Sesquicentennial For the person in a hurry, the Uni- versity Drive -East Tarrow Street in- tersection will be a good place to avoid this afternoon, unless the per- son is astride a 10 -speed bicycle. Beginning shortly after noon, more than 200 bicyclists are expected to come speeding over the finish line at the Hilton in the second leg of the Sesquicentennial Super Triathlon. Almost 300 cyclists were sche- duled to leave the State Capitol in Tustin at 7 a.m. today on the second 'g of the triathlon. The swimming 'g, of 2.5 miles, was held Friday in kustin's Long Lake. Sunday, the final leg will be a narathon from University and East Farrow to the high school in Nava - ota. The cyclists today were to start half in hour earlier than originally plan - ied. They will take U.S. 190 to Gid- up race dings, U.S. 77 to Texas 21, and Texas 21 to Old San Antonio Road. The cyclists will follow OSR to Benchley, on Texas 6. They will take Texas 6 to the East Bypass, and the East Bypass to. University Drive. Clyde Reese of the College Statior Parks and Recreation Department, which is staging the event for the Texas Recreation and Parks Society, said motorists who don't want to be inconvepienced should avoid the area between the Hilton and the Texas 6- OSR intersection from noon to 6 p.m. Bleachers have been erected at the finish line for the benefit of specta- tors. Sunday at 7 a.m., the marathoners will start from University and East Tarrow, track Spring Loop around tc University again, take the East Bypass to Texas 6, and Texas 6 to Navasota.

Ringer outspent McIlhaney by Z to i By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer �_3 � Larry Ringer spent more than twice as much as his opponent, Coun- ti cilman Lynn McIlhaney, in his suc- w cessful campaign for mayor of Col - lege Station this spring. cD Campaign finance statements, the last of which was due Monday, show that all the winning candidates outs - p, pent their opponents, sometimes by huge amounts. Dick Haddox spent m seven times as much money as his sz opponent for Place 6 on the council, and Sara Goode Jones, who was elected to Place 2, spent 12 times as much as her opponent. The big contributors in the race were a developer and a political ac- tion committee. William D. Fitch, a J College Station developer, gave a tot- al of $6,000 to four candidates — three of whom won — and the politic - co al action committee of the Bryan- College Station Homebuilders' Asso- ciation donated a total of $1,500 to three candidates — all of whom won. The most expensive race was for mayor: Ringer spent more than $10,000 and McIlhaney spent almost $5,000. All three winners spent more than $5,000 each, but only one loser, McIlhaney, approached that amount. Ringer, a Texas A &M faculty member, raised a total of $11,107 during the campaign, $6,854 of that in the final reporting period, which ran from late March to Monday. His largest contribution was $2,000 from Fitch. Fitch's contribution of the same amount to McIlhaney was reported during the previous period, which co- vered the last week of February and most of March. Fitch has said he gave the money to help ensure a full dis- cussion of the issues in the mayoral campaign. Other large contributions to the Ringer campaign were $1,000 from Robert D. Martell of College Station, $600 from his campaign treasurer, Phil Springer of College Station, and $500 from the homebuilders' PAC. Ringer, who received 55 percent of the vote in the April 5 election, re- ported spending $10,329, almost all of which — $9,600 — was paid to his ad agency, Absolute Advertising of College Station. Ringer said Tuesday that none of the money was used for anonymous campaign letters that went out to Col- lege Station businessmen in late March. The letters, which Absolute Advertising head Pete Tucker has said he produced, apparently violate the Texas Election Code by failing to list the name and the address of the person who arranged for their printing. McIlhaney, a homemaker, raised $448 — all but $100 in amounts of $50 or less — during the final report- ing period, for a total of $5,255. She spent $4,929, almost all of it for poli- tical advertising. The second -most expensive race was in Place 6. Haddox, who won 62 percent of the vote, spent $5,539, seven times as much as his opponent, David Brochu. Of that amount, $4,501 went to his ad agency, the Porter Agency. Haddox, the vice chairman of the board of Anco Insurance, raised $2,970 during the final reportin€ period, for a total of $6,199. Hi, largest contributions in the fina period were $1,000 from Fitch an( $500 from the political action corn mittee of the homebuilders' associa- tion. Brochu, the manager of The Greenery, raised $745 all together, $40 of that during the final period. He spent $746, most of it for push cards and yard signs early in the campaign. Jones, who received 58 percent of the vote in Place 2, spent $5,731, 12 times as much as her opponent, Councilman Bob Runnels. Most of Jones's expenditures — $5,135 — went to Absolute Advertising. Jones, an attorney, raised $3,471' in the final period, for a total of $5,914 — almost 18 times as much ai Runnels. Her largest contributions i, the final period were $1,000 from Fitch and $500 from the homebuil- ders' PAC. Runnels, an A &M faculty mem- ber, raised $335, of which $190 was received in the final period.

BID #86-37 05_pg-86,05 -16-86 The Eagle /Friday, May 9, 1986 (.;S denies fraternity row permit C 11 By DANIEL PUCKETT Staff Writer Rome wasn't built in a day, and College Station's new Athens — a fraternity row, to be exact — may not be built this summer because of City Council action Thursday. The council voted unanimously to deny a rezoning request covering a 10 -acre tract on the west side of the Dartmouth Drive extension, just north of the Brentwood subdivision. The owners of the tract, David and Kelli Lewis of Bryan, hope to com- bine it with another tract to build nine to 10 fraternity houses. David Lewis told the council that about 10 fraternities have expressed interest in buying houses in the area. Each house, with a price tag ranging home for about 50 fraternity mem- bers, he said. The area would end by looking like soro ty row in the vicinity of Athens Street,.. Lewis said. Tod' permit construction of the houses, Lewis asked that the land be rezoned from R -2, duplex, to R -5, medium - density apartments. If the request was granted, he said, work could go forward almost immediate- ly, with construction beginning with- in the next few months. The request would leave a 140 - foot -wide strip, zoned R -2, between fraternity row and the Brentwood subdivision to the south. Lewis, who owns that property, said duplexes or single- family homes could eventual- ly be built there. The Eagle /May 9, 1986 But Brentwood residents, upon learning of Lewis' plans, circulated a petition, presented last month to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The residents' leader, Aylmer Thompson, told the council Thursday that the buffer strip isn't wide enough to shield the area from the fraternity houses. , Moreover, Thompson said, the chance remains that the houses might not be built. If the city rezones the land R -5, he said, the owner of the property could build apartments on it, something to which the residents ob- ject even more strongly than to fraternity houses. Fraternity houses, Thompson ex- plained, will likely be better built and maintained than apartments. The city planning staff recom- mended approval of the request, saying that it's compatible with the land -use plan for the area. But Councilman Fred Brown asked for an explanation of planned- unit developments, which give the city stronger control over develop- ment of an area. When a developer asks for approval of a residential PUD, he must submit plats, site plans and landscaping plans along with the rezoning request. Brown, recommending that the de- veloper seek approval of a PUD for the new fraternity row, moved denial of Lewis' request without prejudice. A request denied with prejudice can- not come before the council again for six months. Afterward, Lewis said it will take him and his father -in -law, developer B.B. Scasta, some time to have the necessary documents drawn up. He had no estimate on the length of the delay. However, Lewis told the council .arlier, he must act soon. His proper- .. abuts the Dartmouth extension and he is being assessed $75,000 to $80,000 to help pay for it. The only way to get that money, he said, is to ; et the property under development. CS Council hears requests for proposed budget,funds Craig Renfro Staff Writer The College Station finance de- partment further discussed the city's proposed $53.6 million operating budget for fiscal 1986 -87 at the City Council meeting Thursday night. The budget is scheduled for final approval Iune 6. About $35.6 million of the budget revenues will be derived from the ci- ty's utility fund and the city's general fund will contribute an additional $11.8 million. The rest of the budget will be de- rived from the debt service fund, the sanitation fund and the hotel -motel tax fund. Assistant City Manager Van Van - Dever said 23 percent of the budget will go to city staff salaries. An addi- tional 40 percent will be used for util- Oty costs, he said. The council heard three budget requests from local agencies that are seeking funding from the .city's re- venue sharing program. The College Station Chamber of Commerce requested $187,000, an $87,000 increase over last year's re- quest. Chamber Director Allen Han- sen said the increase is needed to cov- er increased advertising expenses. The Mental Health Mental Retar- dation Authority of Brazos Valley re- quested $54,500, a $19,000 increase over last year. grade mental health programs, and to hire additional staff. The Retired Senior Volunteer Program requested $2,500. Director Jo Anne Powell said the.goal of the program is to provide quality volun- teer service to the community. The council tabled an ordinance that would regulate the exploration, development, production and trans- portation of oil and gas within the city. City attorney Cathy Locke said the ordinance, if approved, would loosen the restrictions for acquiring a drill- ing permit.

The Texas Supreme Court riled in favor of College Station last Novem- ber. Beachy said the board has begun consideration of how best to spend the monies. Among park improvements now being considered are replacing the playground equipment at Parkway Park and Bee Creek Park, planting trees and flowers throughout the parks, landscaping at Richard Carter Park and improving erosion problems at several parks. Developers in College Station are required to dedicate $225 per dwell- ng unit or one acre of land per 133 'welling units for residential develop - rents.

The owners of the tract, David o an n d Kelli Lewis of Bryan, hope bine it with another tract to build nine to l0 fraternity houses. David Lewis told the council that about 10 fraternities hav the area. interest in buying rice to ranging Each house, with a p g 0 home for about 50 fraternity mem- bers, he said. The area would end by looking like sorority row in the vicinity of Athens Street, Lewis said. To permit construction of the houses, Lewis asked that the land be rezoned from R -2, duplex, to R -5, medium - density apartments. If the request was granted, he said, work could go forward almost immediate- ly, with construction beginning with- in the next few months. The request would leave a 140 - foot -wide strip, zoned R -2, between fraternity row and the Brentwood subdivision to the south. wises or d du owns that property P single - family homes could eventual- ly be built there. But Bren learning of Lewis' plans, circulated a petition, presented last month to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The residents' leader, Aylmer Thompson, told the council Thursday that the buffer strip isn't wide enough to shield the area from the fraternity houses. Moreover, Thompson said, the chance remains that the houses might not be built. If the city rezones the land R -5, he said, the owner of the property could build apartments on it, something to which the residents ob- ject even more strongly than to fraternity houses. Fraternity houses, Thompson ex- plained, will likely be better built and maintained than apartments. The city planning staff recom- mended approval of the request, saying that it's compatible with the land -use plan for the area. But Councilman Fred Brown asked for an explanation of planned- unit developments, which give the city stronger control over develop- ment of an area. When a developer asks for approval of a residential PUD, he must submit plats, site plans and landscaping plans along with the rezoning request. Brown, recommending that the de- veloper seek approval of a PUD for the new fraternity row, moved denial of Lewis' request without prejudice. A request denied with prejudice can- not come before the council again for six months. Afterward, Lewis said it will take him and his father -in -law, developer B.B. Scasta, some time to have the necessary documents drawn up. He had no estimate on the length of the delay. However, Lewis told the council earlier, he must act soon. His proper- ty abuts the Dartmouth extension and he is being assessed $75,000 to $80,000 to help pay for it. The only way to get that money, he said, is to get the property under development.

The council also received prop- osed amendments to the proposed 1986 -87 budget. Left out of the ori- ginal proposal were $100,000 for Easterwood Airport improvements; $80,000 in operating expenses for the Economic Development Foundation and $20,000 for the prenatal clinic. Mayor Larry Ringer also pointed out that the budget has apparently left out an approximate $35,000 approp- riation for the Bryan Public Library, which College Station helps support. The council has yet to approve these individual budget items or the entire budget package. The College Station City Council asked the city staff to further examine [hree possible rental sites for a new branch library at a work session Wednesday.

Ringer says CS employee fired for meter - tampering The College Station City Council Thursday announced that Joe Guidry, the city's electrical superintendent who had been with the city for 25 years, was fired May 6 for tampering with his home meter. Mayor Larry Ringer said the coun- cil reviewed in executive session its legal options concerning Guidry and decided that the firing, in view of his length of service to the city, was appropriate and the only action the city would take. Tampering with an electric meter is considered a form of theft and can lead to criminal indictment, but Rin- ger said the council considered that option and has elected not to pursue formal charges against Guidry. During its public session, the council also granted Mario & Sons Pizzeria in Northgate a variance Thursday to allow the restaurant to serve beer and wine. The pizzeria's front door, which fronts on University Drive, is 260 feet from the doors of the A &M Methodist Church, 417 University Drive. A variance from the city's znninn nrdinance is reouired to allow any establishment to serve liquor within 300 feet of a church. The church was notified of the res- taurant's request for an appeal, but no one spoke against the variance. Most Northgate restaurants are allowed to serve wine and beer and started doing so before the ordinance was adopted. The council has allowed one similar variance in the area. The. council also hired consultants LWFW Group Inc. to study the city's data processing operation, including all computer capabilities. LWFW, which will receive $40,480, will examine numerous data management problems identi- fied in last year's outside audit of the city. City Manager King Cole said the firm's recommended changes should more than pay for the cost of the consulting fee in resulting savings and efficiency.

BID #8639 05- 2686. -36 The Eagle /Monday, June 2, 1986 11 Attorneys rest case in pornography trial By DAVID NUNNELEE Staff Writer City of College Station building inspector Wesley Castolenia on Mon- day identified John Kenneth Coil as the man he met with in January 1984 to discuss problems with the con- struction of the Adult Video store on Texas Avenue South. But another state's witnesses, for - ner Adult Video sales clerk Paul Ramirez, failed to point out Coil as Lhe man who allegedly operated the pc rnography business. t Coil, of Denton County, ind two Nprth Texas corporations each face seven misdemeanor charges stem- ming from the alleged sale of obscene materials seized in a police raid on Adult Video last Nov. 14. County prosecutors allege that (Coil operates the business and that the corporations own the property and store inventory. Both the state and defense rested Monday, the fifth day of trial in County Court-at -Law No. 2. Defense attorneys presented no witnesses to the six -man jury, which is expected to begin deliberations on Wednesday. To convict the defendants, the jury must find that the materials confis- cated from the store are patently offensive and taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value. The jury's deci- sion could for the first time establish a local community standard by which sexually - related materials are judged. Castolenia testified that he had seen Coil around city hall and at a former adult theater in College Sta- tion as early as 1982, but did not meet him until January 1984. At that time, Castolenia said he met Coil and another man at a local restaurant to 'discuss a potential problem with the number of parking spaces at Adult Video. Castolenia said an address applica- tion filed with the city during the summer of 1983 indicated that an au- dio video store would be located at 603 Texas Avenue South. Later, however, Castolenia said he learned that the incoming business was some- thing other than an audio video store and would feature an indoor theater. Castolenia said he told Coil at their meeting that the city needed to know the theater's seating capacity in order to determine the number of parking spaces'needed. Castolenia said Coil provided him with the information and that the adult video store passed final inspection soon thereafter. Before their first meeting, Cas- tolenia said he knew Coil only as "Chuck," a name he had heard others call him. Prosecutors allege that Coil went by the name "Chuck" to mask his connection to Adult Video. "That's the only name I knew him by until I was first introduced to the man," Castolenia said. Castolenia said Coil twice called him after their meeting — once after a police raid on Adult Video two years ago, and once after last November's raid. "He wanted to know what hap- pened," Castolenia said. Castolenia admitted that he not only inspected the structural sound- ness of Adult Video but also the store's magazines and movies on occasion. He said he also once dated former store manager Sue Bute Allar- dyce. "I have been in the store as a cus- tomer, yes," he said in response to a question from Assistant County Attorney Terry Lorb. Castolenia described the full - length movies he watched at Adult Video as "sexually explicit," saying they showed sexual penetration. Ramirez, the store clerk, said he went to work at Adult Video ' September 1985 because he needed a job. He said the store then sold most- ly soft -core pornography, but even- tually started offering hard -core por- nographic materials for sale. "We were told we had to put more dirty books on the walls," he said. Ramirez, now a banquet waiter at the College Station Hilton, indicated that an out -of -town man named "Chuck" was in charge of the store. He said he met the alleged operator when he and the store's supplier of merchandise visited College Station in October 1985. Ramirez described "Chuck" as a tall, heavy -set man with greasy brown hair and a beard. He said the man looked to be in his early 30s, wore eyeglasses, and dressed in rag- ged clothes. Asked if he saw "Chuck" in the courtroom, Ramirez looked around several times and said he did not. Coil, seated in the first row of specta- tor seats, was in plain view of Ramirez. Ramirez then admitted that county prosecutors told him that Coil was the man he knew as "Chuck." Further, Ramirez said the county had dropped obscenity charges against him in ex- change for his testimony against Coil Castolenia later testified. that he had once seen Coil wear a beard and that he had weighed about 225 pounds in 1984.

Callaway Assistant Director of Planning 06 -11 -86 Th Eagle /Wednesday, June 11, 1986 Large refund created by CS meter check • By JANN SNELL Staff Writer A sweeping effort to renumber and check all electric meters in College Sta- tion this past year led to the largest refund in memory to a utility customer and the firing of the city's electrical superintendent. The Ramada Inn received a $119,745 refund earlier this year after a utility inspection team tested all 668 commercial demand meters in the city, said Linda Piwonka, the city's utility office manager. There were only nine commercial meter errors discovered during the in- spection. The First Baptist Church of College Station also received a $13,245 refund. But seven other com- mercial customers were found to owe the city a total of $58,272. A resealing of residential meters in the city — placing new color seals with new serial numbers on every meter — coupled with an ordinance requiring access to all residential meters, also led the utility department to conclude that Electrical Superintendent Joe Guidry's home meter had been tampered with, Piwonka said. Guidry, who had been with the city for 25 years, was fired in May. The City Council voted to take no other action against him. Piwonka said Guidry was among ab- out 300 College Station residents who had dogs or locked gates that had kept meter readers from performing their monthly readings before the required access ordinance was passed a year ago. Guidry had had a dog. Piwonka said a handful of suspi- cious- looking residential meters disc- overed during the nearly yearlong re- sealing program, but that none of these has led the city to file formal charges against a customer. Tampering with an Turn to A4F.TF.R. 7A Meter electric meter is a form of theft which can lead to criminal indictment. The College Station Ramada Inn, which is involved in a reorganization suit in bankruptcy court, never re- ceived a check. Piwonka said, because the motel actually owed the city more than $120,000 in back taxes and fees. The city successfully petitioned the bankruptcy court to credit the $119,700 to the debt owed the city instead of placing it in a general creditors' pool. Piwonka, who has been with the city for 18 years, said she does not remem- ber any customer' ever receiving a lar- ger refund nor could she find any re- cords which indicate that there has ever been a larger refund. The mistake at the Ramada, like the mistakes at the other eight commercial locations, was caused by human error, Piwonka said. A meter installer in each case im- properly recorded a multiplier for each business's demand meter. These multi- pliers, which are an indication of the size of the transformers and lines re- quired for a particular business, are computerized and used to mulitiply against monthly meter readings to de- termine a business' bill. In 1982, a meter installer mixed up the multiplier for the Ramada Inn's new tower meter with the mulitiplier on the meter for the older section of the motel. The tower was overbilled while the older section was underbilled. The tower was accidentally given a multi- plier of 300, while the old section re- ceived a multiplier of 80. When the city makes an error in billing and a customer is overbilled. Piwonka said the city goes back for four years to make the adjustment in favor of the customer. When the Ramada's bill was retabu- lated for the last four years, the net effect was that they had been overbilled by almost $120,000. The average total monthly bill at the motel is about $25,000, Piwonka said. On the seven underbilled customers, Piwonka said the city only goes back 12 months to correct their billing errors. They are given two years to repay the money they owe. Piwonka said the city has instituted tighter controls on commercial meters and a supervisor will double -check an installer's work from now on. Overall, she said the $74,718 net loss to the city is small compared to the $35 million in utility revenues antici- pated for this upcoming fiscal year, which begins July I. On residential meters, Piwonka saic The Eagle /Wednesday, June 11, 1986 C CS council OKs site for city's first library By JANN SNELL Staff Writer After nearly two years of proposals and counter - proposals, College Sta- tion will finally get a library. The College Station City Council voted on Wednesday to locate a tem- porary library at Shiloh Place, 2551 Texas Ave. South. The library , at the old Mr. Gatti's location, will have 3,320 square feet of space and can be expanded to just over 5,000 square feet in the future. The library will be located next to Specially for You, a gift shop. Shiloh Place is across Texas Avenue from the College Station City Cemetery. The location has easy access and visi- bility from Texas Avenue and from Southwest Parkway. Clara Mounce, the librarian at the Bryan Public Library, said that, with any luck, the College Station library could be open within four months. Mounce, who has worked closely with the College Station Library Committee, said a signed contract to run the College Station library as a branch of the Bryan library is immi- nent. The temporary location could serve for two or three years or until College Station builds its own lib- rary . The City Council has twice had potential sites that slipped by to other lessors before action was taken. The library committee has been looking for a location since November 1984. Mayor Larry Ringer, who served as chairman of the library committee, told the council that any of the prop- osals before the council Wednesday would be acceptable but that the majority of the committee would like to see the council make a decision. Library committee members in attendance at the meeting shook their heads in agreement. The other locations considered in- Turn to LIBRARY. 7A Library From 1A eluded Park Place Plaza, 2501 Texas Ave., and Parkway Square, 2412 Texas Ave. South. Mounce and library members said the Shiloh location seemed to have a better parking configuration and visi- bility. Mounce said parking was heavier at the other two locations with a tendency for shoppers to double -park. Mounce also said that of the three locations, the Shiloh site looked the least like a store front and the most like a potential library. An old pizza drive - through win- dow can be converted to a book drop and the other Shiloh tenants have agreed to purchase a flagpole and flag to welcome the new library, Mounce said. Depending on the lease option the city chooses — whether it allows Shi- loh Place to finish out the space or the city chooses to finish out the building itself — the first year's rent will run either $33,465 or $24,700. A three - year lease would cost $100,400 of $74,100. The Eagle /Thursday, June 12, 1986 0 Job kindles musical spark for local volunteer firefighter by Debi Moen He's battled blazes around town for eight years. But the hose hasn't been able to extinguish the musical spark for one local firefighter. If anything, it's helped kindle the flame, for the desire to achieve fame. Leo Benford, a volunteer firefighter based at College Sta- tion's Central Fire Station, sur- prised his asbestos - suited buddies with news of striking it big with his piece of "Hollywood Gold." That's the name of the album, produced by Rainbow Records out in Los Angeles, which features his original song, "Teenage Man." The middle -of- the -road rock song is now being given airplay by several local stations, along with Hearne's KHRN and Houston's KMGQ. Benford says he kept mum un- til the album came out because, "I'm more of a secret type of guy. If it wasn't going to be a hit I wouldn't tell them. I wouldn't lose feelings. I had to wait 'til it was on the wax 'til I could talk." Working a 72 -hour week — 24 -hour shifts every third day — never interfered with his songwriting, Benford says. The atmosphere actually inspired a number of tunes. "I have songs from it, called `Fire', `The Police', `DWI', `Arson', songs like that. I've got penty of songs from the job," he says. And, if he gets the chance to make a video of "Teenage Man ", you can bet on the hot elements you'll find in it. If given the chance, he hopes to film a video, using the College Station fire equipment and real footage from local fires to ac- company his songs. Though the 27- year -old record- ed the original demo track of "Teenage Man" on his own reel - to -reel, the record company had him hire musicians to lay down master tracks on the album. He did make tracks out to Hollywood, however, to give his approval before the album was cut. r couldn't play any of his own By October 1985 he'd work. So he decided to go it See I'II p. 4A n1nne The Press /Friday, June 13, 1986 Esenford began writing songs in 1979, at the same time he began work with the fire department. Though he wrote songs for a group called Ear Force in town, he says "we never did get off the ground. They were playing songs off albums, because nobody around town wanted to hear original music. So I died out with them." He moved to Dallas, played with a band there but still Leo Benford doesn't mix work with play. 'I'll play it cry ear ne says i 9 from p. 1A copyrighted over 100 songs with the Library of Congress, and was contacted by Vantage Press about his lyrics. "They said my lyrics were so strong they were going to turn me on to this record company. They wanted to hear the music behind me. So they contacted Rainbow Records for me and we negotiated a while and came up with a contract." In "Teenage Man ", Benford sings basically about his changing lifestyle, from when his "heart was full of anger" to how "I'm a lucky man and love is my choice." "It used to be I didn4 care about nothin', you'kn^, I'd just hang out on the streets with my cousin, we didn't work — we still survived... But now I work for a living and that's all behind me." Though the song on the album is 2 minutes, 22 seconds, the original song is 6 minutes and he plans on redoing it on an Extend- ed Play (EP) album with two other musicians. Benford agrees it will be a tough road to travel as a musician in California, but adds, "I'm not going to put myself under pressure. That's why I'm writing all these songs first. It's pretty tough but it's tough for the com- petition, too. But there's enough room on the shelf for the both of us. Especially for a band from this area." And because he plays bass guitar, drums and synthesizer, he feels even taking a studio musi- cian job would satisfy. In the meantime, he continues to fight fires, and was involved with putting out the recent Sausalito and Doux Cherie apart- ment fires. He says he can't think about taking off for Hollywood full - time yet, though. "I can't get that attitude yet. I will when the opportunity comes; But I like what I'm doing, I like saving lives and putting out fires." He's never been injured on the job, but adds, "I'm always hur- ting. When I see a fire I'm hur- ting. I've never been burned so far, but it could happen at any time. I strive for safety." And right now he's playing it safe. And as far as his career goes? He glances at his guitar and then at the parked firetruck and grins. "I'll play it by ear." Council gives MHMR favorable review H (D 1A W LQ H (D n N- sz CA G w By RONNIE CROCKER Staff Writer NAVASOTA — More than $100,000 in grant applications for local alcohol and drug abuse educa- tion and counseling programs were given favorable reviews here Thurs- day by the second advisory commit- tee to comment on them this week. The board of directors of the Bra- zos Valley Development Council approved three applications by the Mental Health Mental Retardation Authority of Brazos Valley to con- tinue their alcohol education, alcohol abuse treatment and drug abuse treat- ment programs. All three applications were given unfavorable reviews by the Regional Alcohol -Drug Abuse Advisory Council on Monday. A condition placed on two of the approvals by the BVDC board re- quires MHMR executive director Ann Shively to meet with RADAAC chairman Don Sweeney to develop applications acceptable to both groups. Leon County Judge Robert Gresham, who also is chairman of the board of MHMR, made motions to conditionally approve the applica- tions for the alcohol abuse treatment and drug abuse treatment programs. Both motions passed with only one negative vote each. Sweeney earlier told the group that his committee disapproved the ap- plications primarily because of per- sonnel turnover problems at MHMR and the poor way the applications were written. Gloria McGowen of the Brazos County Adult Probation Department also urged disapproval by the board. She said the department has stopped referring alcohol and drug abusers to MHMR because of the ineffective- ness of its programs. After the meeting, Shively said she felt RADAAC was trying to "rail- road" MHMR by not allowing the authority to respond to the specific problems with the grants. "We feel very strongly it was a railroad job and we don't know why," she said. Shively also said she is willing to meet with Sweeney and other mem- bers of RADAAC provided there is a "willingness to be fair." Sweeney, also after the meeting. said he couldn't speak for his com- mittee as to its willingness to meet with MHMR. Shively said money for the alcohol education program. if `_ranted, will be transferred to alcohol education centers in Washington and Brazos counties. Those groups will then pro- vide services similar to those pro- vided by MHMR. Once new applications are drawn - up for the other two programs, all three will be sent to Austin for final approval or disapproval. Comments from RADAAC. the BVDC directors and area probation departments will accompany the applications. CS Council OKs $1.2 million in funding By EUGENE COX JR. Staff Writer The College Station City Council approved $75,000 in additional funds Thursday night to the Bryan - College Station Chamber of Commerce and the Arts Council of Brazos Valley. The City Council also decreased funding for Mental Health Mental Retardation Authority of Brazos Val- ley to provide $30,000 for the Bryan Public Library from the revenue shar- ing fund. Although the MHMR fund was cut from $54,549 to $14,549, Mayor Larry Ringer said an additional $40.000 for MHMR will come from the Community Development funds budget. The council agreed to increase funding for the Chamber of Com- merce by $60,000, for a total of $247,000, and tar the Arts Council by $15,000, for a total of $90,000 for __the 1986 -87 fiscal year. Allan Hanson, vice president of the Convention and Visitors Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber needs additional funds for special projects it plans in the coming year. Hanson said the projects include a one -year regional advertising cam- paign, upgrading of audio - visual equipment for presentations, wel- come signs at Easterwood Airport and other locations, and an exhibit booth. Other payments allocated from the revenue sharing fund include: Step- ping Stone. $2,000: Retired Seniors Volunteer Program, $2.500: and the summer library program. $3.000. After an executive session, Ringer said the City Council decided not to pursue a lawsuit against Rose Con- struction Co. of Waco. Ringer said the suit was dropped because the company corrected construction errors by fixing leaking windows and rusted stucco on the city hall building. 1 M h its ro w N W E-4 J • 0 College Building Emmett Trant and Associates, Architects and Engineers, 1505 South College Ave., P.

Q 2 sets, Bid Deposit 2 The Eagle /Sunday, June 22, 1986 0 $53 million budget is set for vote by CS Council • By JANN SNELL Staff Writer The College Station City Council is slated to adopt a $53,790,000 city budget for 1986 -87 this week. The budget, which has been re- viewed by council and changed little at several past meetings, is sche- duled for a vote at the regular coun- cil meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday in Council Chambers, 1101 Texas Ave. The $53.8 million budget breaks down into six funds: $34 million for utilities, $13.4 million for the gener- al operating fund, $4.4 million in debt service, $1.3 million for sanita- tion, $562,000 in the hotel -motel fund and $52,000 for revenue sharing. No property tax increase is needed to meet the budget. The cur- rent tax rate is 38 cents per $100 valuation. The budget, however, does in- clude three rate increases in the util- ity and sanitation budgets. Water and sewer rates will go up so that payment for the services more accurately reflects the costs of providing new physical facilities, according to Assistant City Manager A.E. VanDever. Revenues from electric bills now help cover the op- eration of water and sewer services in the city. The water rate will go from $1.33 per 1,000 gallons to $1.40 per 1,000 gallons. The sewer rate will go from $8 per household or unit to $10 per household or unit. The city will also begin collecting 50 cents ner month from each house- hold or unit as a drainage assess- ment. These monies will go into the sanitation fund and give the city operating funds to maintain drainage easements and provide funds for other drainage problems. College Station will also consider an operating contract with the city of Bryan at its Thursday meeting so that the Bryan librarian will be able to oversee the operation of the new College Station Branch Library. The council will also consider an ordinance establishing a maximum $200 fine for unreturned books to the new library. Four public zoning hearings will also be held Thursday: ■ The rezoning of Lot 2, Lake- view Acres from single family re- sidential to general commercial. ■ The rezoning of Lots 22 and 23 in the Hrdlicka Addition from single family to general commercial. ■ The rezoning of 10.71 acres in the Morgan Rector Survey south of the Sandstone Subdivsion from agri- culture open to single family re- sidential. ■ The rezoning of a portion of the Southwood Valley Section 28 subdi- vision from general commerical to apartments low density and apart- ments medium density. The City Council will also meet at its regular workshop session on Wednesday at 5 p.m. It will consid- er extending an agreement with Texas A &M to provide fire protec- tion for the Texas Engineering Ex- periment Station Nuclear Science Center.

Callaway Assistant Director of Planning 06 -25 -86 The Eagle /Wednesday, June 25, 1986 Hilton representatives say CS hotel is losing money By HUGH NATIONS Staff Writer Representatives of the College Sta- tion Hilton Hotel, pleading for a break on taxes, have disclosed the new conference center is losing money at the rate of $2 million a year., "We're at the end of our line," Vice President Robert B. Sponaugle of Sun Belt Hotels Inc. told the Appraisal Review Board of the Bra- zos County Appraisal District last Friday. Nonetheless, Sponaugle said, the owners do not plan to close the hotel. "We want to stay in business," he said. "We're not going to go out of business. That's one thing we're not going to allow to happen." But, said. Sun Belt tax consultant James Wortham, "We're talking de- speration. " "We're going to have to go to the different taxing entities and try to work out some type of payment plan," he said. "We lost just over $2 million last year," Sponaugle said, "and we're going to lose $2 million this year. "We have opened every one of our hotels until College Station with a break -even cash flow about the second month of operation.... Basi- cally, we try to have break -even cash flow by the fourth month in the worst case. "In College Station we only had cash flow one month, and that was November of last year — and that's because there were three football games in the city. That's the only saving grace we had last year. Six out of 52 weekends doesn't help, unfor- tunately. "But through the month of May this year we've lost a million six cash ($1.6 million), the first five months of this year." Sponaugle and Wortham appeared before the review board to ask that the appraisal on the 300 -room hotel be lowered from $14 million to $8 mil- lion. The Sun Belt representatives painted a bleak picture of the local guest room market, and the effect that declining demand has had on the Hilton. The local hotel is one of six owned by Sun Belt. Besides the College Sta- tion complex, it owns hotels in Beaumont, Wichita Falls, and Hous- ton, but only the Hilton at Hobby Airport in Houston is making money. the businessmen said. "The occupancies in the city of College Station are ranging from 35 45 percent, which is nowhere near= Turn to HILTON, 5A The Eagle /Wednesday, June 25, 1986 • H ilton From 1A rr� L enough to make the hotel work," Sponaugle said. "We need 65 per- cent to make the hotel work." The Sun Belt representatives said the hotel's occupancy rate is only 30 percent. A year ago, Sponaugle said, Sun Belt sold 50 percent of the local part- nership for $4 million "in order to get the hotel open. That was just $4 mil- lion needed to sustain the operating deficits toward the end of last year. We've got another $2 million we're facing this year in net cash loss, ex- cluding depreciation. "]'m just talking about cash out of the pockets.... We're at the end of our line." One of the problems, Wortham said, is that patronage for the night- club at the hotel has diminished. "The club was going good," he said, "and all of a sudden it just died." Between June 19, when the hotel opened. and Dec. 31, the hotel repre- sentatives told the board, the Hilton pulled in gross revenues of $3 mil- lion. This year, with a full 12 months, revenues are projected to reach only $4.4 million. One major reason has been a 50 to 60 percent decline in repeat business, they said. Confronted by a BCAD staffer with a news clipping that said the hotel would be a $20 million enter- prise, Wortham explained: "News releases are public rela- tions only." "Are you saying they lied to the news media ?" the staffer asked. "Yes," Wortham replied. Worth- am is not a Sun Belt employee; he is a paid consultant. Sponaugle agreed that sometimes the figures released by the chain were inflated. "What you've got to realize is that we're developers, and we've got tc borrow money from banks to builc these things. You've got to convince them that it has about twice the valuf that you're getting in a loan, because that's the only way they'll buy it." The review board has not yet de- cided what action it will take on the protest. Sun Belt President Ron Jackson. :ontacted by telephone about the testimony before the board, said it was supposed to be confidential. However, hearings before the review board are public and are routinely co- vered by the news media. Jackson also said Sun Belt had anticipated the hotel would be worth $20 million when it was in the plan- ning stages. "We do not lie to anybody," he said. "We're honorable people. That's why we're still there, operat- ing the hotel. 'We asked for a reduction in the value because the value we had anti- cipated and the business we had anti- cipated is not there ' H m r� w 00 H G n a . w rD N a, 00 rn Staff Writer Good things come to those who wait, and 7- year -old Jarred Faltysek didn't have to wait long before the community came to his aid. The College Station Police Depart- ment and K mart on Wednesday purchased a baby -blue BMX Pre- dator bicycle for Jarred, replacing one just like it that was stolen from him Saturday. "We got together and worked out something for you, since you worked so hard to get it," College Station police Lt. Bernie Kapella told Jarred as K mart manager Harry Jones wheeled the bicycle over to him. "That looks like my bike," said Jarred, looking at it in disbelief. "I think ... he really thought we found his bike," police Cpl. Dave Luedke said. Jarred's bike was stolen while he and his twin brother, Justin, were swimming at the Southwood Valley Athletic Park. He had won the bike from the College Station Little 'League in April after selling 395 can- dy bars to raise funds for the league. Kapella said that when he read in the Eagle on Wednesday that some- one had stolen the bike JaI,'rea jiad worked so hard to win, the police department felt it should Ao some- thing to help him.

June 26, 196- CS to join fight. against Gulf States By JANN SNELL Staff Writer The city of College Station has agreed to Join fellow members of the Lone Star Municipal Power Agency in a fight against a Gulf States Utili- ties rate increase request filed Tuesday. GSU is asking for a 40 percent increase in wholesale power rates be- ginning Aug. 24. The rate increase request also asks for a 21.2 percent increase in wholesale rates in 1987 and a 12.8 percent increase in 1988. The College Station City Council authorized LSMPA to retain the law firm of Vinson & Elkins of Houston and the engineering firm of R.W. Beck and Associates of Austin to fight the requested increase. Caldwell, Kirbyville and Newton also are members of LSMPA. Like College Station, these communities purchase their electricity wholesale from GSU and sell that power to cus- tomers of their municipal utility de- partments. The request was filed Tuesday be- fore the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which regulates GSU's wholesale rates. In a separate action Wednesday, the Public Utility Commission, which regulates GSU rates to Texas customers directly served by GSU, ordered a rollback in GSU customer rates. This action has no effect on what College Station customers will pay. But it does have an overall effect on GSU, which states in its rate request before the federal commission that it will continue to seek rate increases from all regulatory agencies that con- trol its rates. GSU asserts in its rate increase re- quest before the FERC that "the company's financial integrity will be destroyed" without a rate increase to offset company losses when its new River Bend nuclear power plant in Louisiana goes on line. The plant is scheduled to begin operation this month. GSU also has reportedly consulted with bankruptcy attorneys in an appa- rent attempt to explore its options should it receive no rate increases. Texas GSU customers to pay I ess than those in Louisiana Harte -Hanks Austin Bureau AUSTIN — Texas customers of Gulf States Utilities will pay a lower electric rate than their fellow Louisiana ratepayers under a plan that won Public Utility Commission approval Wednesday. Under the $126 million rollback plan, residential customers using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each month will see bills cut by about $37 a month from last year's bills. Last summer's $105.50 -a -month bills for 1,000 kwh will go to $68.46 under the proposal, while the winter bills of $85.35 will drop to $48.46 a month. Attorneys representing state agen- cies said the settlement also would mean about $1 million a year in sav- ings for the state. Eighteen state agencies would be- nefit, including Sam Houston State University, the Department of Cor- rections and the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. Under the plan, the utility will cut base rates by $80 million, with $61.3 million of that benefiting residential customers. Fuel charges would be re- duced another $46 million, for a total revenue reduction of $126 million. However, another hearing sche- duled to begin Monday could reduce that $126 million rollback, if the util- ity commission allows GSU to recov- er costs of a $57 million contract to buy excess power ,this year from Southern Companies, a group of Atlanta -based utilities. If GSU is allowed to recover all $57 million, the $126 million roll- back would be reduced to $69 mil- lion, and future rates would be higher. 0 • CS sponsors lifeguard contest today The College Station Parks Depart- ment is sponsoring the fourth annual Texas Super Guard Competition to- day at Adamson Pool in Bee Creek Park. The pool will be closed for public use, but the public is invited to attend the competition free of charge.. Seventy -five lifeguards will com- pete in eight events, including swim- ming events, such as the heads -up crawl and heads -up breast stroke; underwater recovery; deep water ac- tive victim rescue; passive victim res- cue, and towing simulation. The competition has grown to 75 competitors this year from only 16 in 1983, the first year of the competi- tion. Lifeguards will be coming from as far away as Odessa, Arlington, McAllen and Houston. The event will start at about 8:30 a.m. and will last into the mid- afternoon. The Eagle/ Saturday, July 26, 1986 • L� 1 P Hospitality good business The College Station City Coun- :il has taken a major move forward in advancing the economic condi- tions of the Bryan- College Station area. The Bryan- College Station Chamber of Commerce Conven- tion and Visitors Bureau requested a substantial increase of the hotel/ motel tax revenues in order to soli- cit new convention and visitor busi- ness to our local area. The Council directed $247,000 of this year's hotel/motel tax revenues back to the direct use of the Convention and Visitors Bureau which will allow us to greatly expand our marketing efforts. I want to thank the Council, pub - lically, for their confidence in advancing such a large fund to our use, but more importantly, for their forward thinking in putting dollars in the hands of people that will cre- ate a major economic impact back to our local marketplace. For every dollar spent in the Bryan- College Station area for convention and visitor business it has a seven times turn on our local economy. This in turn creates jobs for people in the hotel/motel business, in the res- taurant business, and the other sup- port industries which cater to the visitors to our area. In 1985, the economic impact of the convention and visitors business in our loca area was $55 million, ranking onl} behind the economic impact of Texas A &M University and agri• culture as the major industry of Brazos County. We dedicate the continue( efforts of the Convention and Visi• tors Bureau to do the things neces• sary to continue bringing qualit3 convention business to Bryan. College Station to fill the hotel an( motel rooms of our city and hell the restaurants to prosper in the years to come. Allan W. Hanson, Vice President Bryan- College Station Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitors Bureau The Eagle /Thursday, June 26, 1986 A r i i,uay, June 27, 1986 �S council adopts 1986 -87 budget By JANN SNELL Staff Writer The College Station City Council, with no further discussion, adopted a relatively lean $53.8 million city budget Thursday. The $53,792,000 budget — which includes uti- lities, sanitation, debt service and general opera- tions — includes no increase in personnel. It also will not require an increase in the ad valorem tax rate. The council, which has reviewed portions of the budget at several of its last meetings, did approve relatively small rate increases for water and sanita- tion bills. Water will go from $1.33 per 1,000 gallons to $1.40 per 1,000 gallons. The average customer uses 10,000 gallons per month, which means an increase from $13.30 to $14 a month for water, plus a monthly $4 service charge. Sewage will go from a flat rate of $8 per month to $10 per month, and a new fee of 50 cents per month will be charged for drainage services. The council also agreed to sign a contract with the city of Bryan which will allow the Bryan librarian to oversee the operation of the new Col- lege Station Branch Library. A maximum $200 fine was also approved as the penalty for someone who does not return library books, and City Attorney Cathy Locke said an ordinance to charge an overdue,fee for books will also be needed for the new library. The council also accepted a $231,266 bid from R.T. Montgomery Inc. for street, drainage and utility improvements on Arizona, Phoenix and Nevada streets. City Manager King Cole said Montgomery, the low bidder, inadvertently left its bid bond out of its bid envelope and submitted a contract stating it could complete the job in 100 working days rather than 100 calendar days as was required in the bid specifications. Cole said Montgomery has submitted its bond and agreed to complete the job in 100 calendar days, both of which are legal alterations in the bidding process according to the city's legal de- partment. "I'm not particularly comfortable (with the changes)," Cole said. "I hope they are more care- ful in the preparation of the streets than they were in the submission of the bid." The council also approved four zoning changes, including 29.34 acres to R -5, medium density apartments, off Wellborn Road and the extension of Deacon Drive. That zoning change will allow the Area Prog- ress Corp. to submit conditional use permit re- quests for fraternity houses. Part of the plat for the acreage includes:. , a "Fraternity Row" which would eventually con- nect to Deacon Drive. In another zoning hearing, the council went with its staff recommendation and against the vote of the Planning and Zoning Commission to allow commercial zoning of 4.33 acres on the north side of Miller's Lane at Texas Avenue. Resident John Jordan, who lives on Miller's Lane, originally opposed the zoning because the commercial lot will abut his residential property. But Jordan said at Thursday's council meeting that he has resigned himself to the fact that the residential quality of the lane will be destroyed anyway when Miller's Lane is widened to connect FM 2818 with the East Bypass. The reason the zoning commission refused to approve the request is that the zoning ordinance does not have an allowance for a significant buffer between a commercial and residential lot. B-C Tax revenues expected to drop By HUGH NATIONS and JANN SNELL Staff Writers On Sept. 1, a 13 -year -old experi- ment comes to an end in Texas. For the first time since 1973, you will have to be 21 years old to legal- ly quaff a cold one in the Lone Star State. But except for some obviously disgruntled young adults, the impact may be minimal for most of the state. State Comptroller Bob Bullock's office, for example, is predicting that tax revenues on mixed drinks will actually go up 8.8 percent in 1 987. But in Bryan - College Station, the under -21 crowd is a significant economic factor, and any legisla- tion reducing the numbers of those who can drink presumably will have a noticeable negative impact. At Texas A &M University, for example, approximately 11,000 students live on campus, and there are about that number of 19- and 20 -year -olds in Brazos County, according to health department and ' enrollment statistics. --mw Winniford, A &M's assistant director of student affairs, esti- mates that more than 80 percent of the on- campus residents will not be able to drink legally come September. A favorite hangout for many of these young students is the Dixie Chicken, across from campus in Northgate. Don Ganter, the owner of the Chicken, hopes the students will keep coming, even though the popular pastime of hefting a long - neck at a pool table will no longer be possible for many. Ganter said everyone will be carded on his busiest nights, and the over-21s will get a stamp that will allow the bartenders to serve them alcohol. The Chicken's food menu will be extended, and Ganter said he will offer non - alcoholic beer for those who still want to participate in the longneck ambience. In a youth- oriented urban area where 5 million mixed drinks slid down thirsty throats last year, the naty -1 conclusion is that knocking tw 'ars off the drinking age shat ,, be a heavy blow to the local beverage industry. Perhaps. But perhaps not. For example, Ganter, who also owns the more family- oriented Chicken Oil Co., said he doesn't Dredict anv rw rppntikl1 ,t. -].-- '- s for new drinking age revenues or crowd there. Frank Fields, a general partner of Cenare who is vice president of the Brazos Valley Restaurant Asso- ciation, said he expects little direct impact at his Italian -food res- taurant. But Fields also said that if restaurants and bars that cater to the young start offering more food or going for an older market, he could feel some indirect impact. Texas Hall of Fame's manager, Joe Goodrum, said he's also not too concerned about the change in the drinking age. Goodrum said that on a recent Tuesday night — Tuesday is known as singles night at the Hall of Fame — he surveyed patrons. Out of approximately 600 custom- ers, only about 35 were under 21. Bennigan's general manager, Ray Knotek, said his restaurant Projected Mixed Drink Tax Revenues / ,�`� 1986 CP 0`ary�1ay� qka" Coll5 a St tion Ilk t \ \ \ \\\ \ \\ \ \ \\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\ / �� 1987 S r opo $5 A 1 0 a o" college t st Eagle photo by Dave McDenna Scenes such as this will be less common after Sept. 1, when the drinking age rises to 21. • • Page 10A i Bryan - College Station Eagle Sunday, June 29 1986 Drinking From 1A company is ahead of tie change. Bennigan's has one of the high- est beverage volumes in the coun- ty, even though .Knotek said the restaurant makes 70 percent of its money from food. Knotek points out that Benni- gan's lopped the "Tavern" off the restaurant's name a couple of years ago and has developed a "liquor philosophy," which includes sell- ing more "virgin" drinks, less alcohol in double happy -hour drinks and more exotic drinks where most customers stop at one. Local governments, like many of the restaurants, aren't expecting too much of a drop in tax revenues from mixed drinks, either. For every dollar in mixed drink sales, the state collects 12 cents tax. Each of the local governments gets 1.5 cents of that 12 cents for each dollar of gross sales in its jurisdiction; the state gets the re- mainder. Last year, the three local governments took in $278,000 all together. For 1987, the first full year the minimum drinking age will again be 21, the three governments are predicting total mixed drink tax re- venues of about $258,000, only 7.5 percent under what they are taking in now. It isn't the drinking age, but perhaps a change in attitude toward drinking, that seems to have already had an effect locally. If last year is any measure, alco- hol consumption is already drop - ping. rom 1984 to 1985, College Sta- tion's revenues from the mixed drink tax plummeted $20,000 — from $108,000 in '84 to $87,000 in '85. Declines were also recorded in Brazos County and Bryan, though they weren't not so precipitous. For the county, the revenues dropped from $161,000 to $151,000; for Bryan, they dipped from $42,000 to $40,000.

Without an alternative, utility cus- tomers in College Station could face as much as a $500 annual increase in their electric bills over the next three years because of a rate increase re- quest filed by Gulf States. The proposed rates are so high that they could also hamper the city's ability to attract now industries, says former city manager North Bardell. Bardell, who now serves as LSMPA executive, director, said the four member cities in the agency — College Station, Caldwell, Kirbyvil- le and Newton — are unique in Texas because they percent of heir energy that buy 100 p wholesale from GSU .

For the average residential custom- er, who uses about 921 kilowatt hours per month, bills could go from about $82.98 a month now to about $124 a month in 1988.

The contract would bind Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson and Washington counties with the BVDC in establishing agree- ments with area hospitals and physi- cians to provide certain medical ser- vices for eligible applicants. The services are for those covered by the state's Indigent Health Care and Treatment Act, passed during the 1985 legislative session. According to the contract, physi- cian services, family planning, laboratory and X -ray services are to be offered, along with skilled nursing services and inpatient and outpatient hospital services. The counties also must pay for up to three prescription drugs per eligible recipient per month. Under the contracts, the counties agree to pay for only 90 percent of the costs of the services. The other 10 percent will be left unpaid, but Leon County Judge Robert Gresham said that hospitals will be willing to accept those terms because they now are not receiving anything for emergency care provided to the poor. The committee also approved the BVDC's participation in a pilot prog- ram of the Texas Department of Hu- man Services to screen people ap- plying for benefits under either the County Indigent Health Care prog- ram or the Maternal and Infant Health Improvement Act program, which was also created by the state in 1985. The screening program would allow a DHS worker at the BVDC office to immediately refer ineligible applicants to Medicaid, provided' they are eligible for those beneifts. In other business, the executive committee gave a favorable review to a $520,000 matching grant applica- tion by the city of Navasota to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the proposed Cedar Creek re- creational area. A $441,000 grant application by the city of Midway to the Texas Com- munity Development Program to fi- nance a city sewer collection and treatment system also was given a favorable review by the committee. • The Eagle/ Thursday, July 10, 1986 • • comments council to hear CS oad stud of Wellborn R on y By JANN SNELL Staff Writer The College Station City Council will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m• today on the Wellborn Road Corridor Study.

OLYMPIC FESTIVAL —'86 TORCH ROUTE THROUGH 8 -CS By RONNIE CROCKER Staff Writer if you see Mayor Larry Ringer carrying a torch through the streets of College Station Thursday after- noon, don't get the wrong idea — he won't be trying to round up support for the city's load management program. Ringer will be one of more than 80 local residents who will carry the U.S. Olympic Torch through Bryan - College Station as part of the torch's 4,600 -mile trip from atop Pikes Peak in Colorado to the Astrodome in Houston. The 1986 U.S. Olympic Festival, which has been held every non - Olympic year since 1978, will be held in Houston July 25 through Aug. 3. The festival is considered by many to be the top amateur sport- ing event in the country. Preceding the games, a relay of men and women will carry the Olympic Torch from its permanent home atop Pikes Peak to the Astro- dome for the games' opening cere- monies. Bryan and College Station will be among more than 250 cities in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado through which the torch will pass. The torch is carried by runners whenever possible, but in areas where there are not enough runners — as on the stretch from Madison- I ville to College Station — the torch is carried by automobile.

The Eagle/ Thursday July 17, 1986 0 Private firm's tap water tests questioned by C.S. residents College Station Cit officials say they want to clear up some confusion about a private compa- ny's sales promotion that has some residents concerned about what's in the water. City of College Station Secre- tary Dian Jones said the tap water tests have resulted in some confu- Sion. She said her office has re- ceived several calls from curious residents wondering why the city is testing water. Candy Capps, a spokesperson for Regal Water Company, based in Dallas, says the company has been distributing packets for a free self -test of tap water. She says the tests are simply a sales promotion for the company's wa- ter purifiers. The company will mail an analysis of the water to the resident and hopefully a pu- rifier sale will result. The company has been distrib- uting plastic sacks with a test tube and directions for properly tak- ing a water sample. Along with the directions a flyer identifies the company by name and ad- 3ress. College Station Better Business Bureau director LeRov Balmain ;aid his office hasn't received any :omplaints about Regal's promo - ion techniques. The Dallas Bet - er Business Bureau also has re- eived no complaints. 0 BATTALION/ Friday, July 18, 1986 • CS not behind water testing The city of College Station issued a news release Thursday to inform resi- dents that the city has nothing to do with tests being offered to evaluate local water content. Fliers with the offer of a free water test and water sample bottles have been left on some doors in the city. The fliers, according to LeRoy Bal- main with the Better Business Bureau, clearly state that the Regal Water Co. of Dallas is offering the test free of charge, with no mention of the city of College Station. Balmain said the company is legiti- mate and that the BBB has received no complaints about it. But the city has no record that the local distributor for Regal's water purification system has applied for a solicitor's permit with the city, City Secretary Dian Jones said. The permits cost a minimum of $25 and require a bond. Soliciting without a permit is a Class C misde- meanor and carries a $25 to $200 fine. The Eagle/ Friday, July 18, 1986 C� Ostomates set special month Mayors Marvin Tate and Larry Ringer have signed proclamations designating August as Ostomy Awareness Month in Bryan - College Sta- lion. The local observance is part of a nationwide public information campaign being conducted by the United Ostomy Association. Fleurette Rehak of Belton was in town last week to help UOA's •Brazos County Satellite with its plans for Ostomy Awareness Month. A former Bryan - College Station resident, Rehak helped establish the local satellite, which held its first meeting in September 1985. ■; UOA members define the word "ostomy" as the type of surgery required when a person has lost the normal function of his bowel or - bladder because of birth defects, disease, injury or other disorders. =Colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy are such operations. The ostomy allows normal body wastes to be expelled through a „surgical opening, or stoma, on the abdominal wall. While some osto- ;,; mates must wear special pouches, or appliances, over the stomas, others manage some control. The approximately 1,500,000 ostomates in North America include people of all ages, races, occupations and ethnic backgrounds. Rehak ;; says that most of them are living such normal lives that it is not apparent that they are ostomates. Among the prominent Americans who are willing to discuss how ostomy surgery has affected their lives are football players Rolf Benirs- chke and Otto Graham, golfer Al Geiberger and actresses Ann Sothern and Loretta Young. Benirschke, who is placekicker for the San Diego Chargers, was desperately ill with ulcerative colitis when he underwent �• ostomy surgery. Geiberger battled intestinal problems for more than 20 years before having an ileostomy. , The United Ostomy Association comprises more than 48,000 mem- bers in 736 chapters and satellites in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. For the past 24 years, members of its local chapters have aided in the rehabilitation of persons who have undergone ostomy surgery. The 24- member Brazos County Satellite of UOA meets at 3 p.m. on - the third Sunday of each month in Brazos Valley Rehabilitatipp Center, 1318 Memorial Drive.

I1cim id College Station City Cemetery sexton, examines a headstone that was pushed over and broken by vandals. is damaging CS cemetery By EUGENE COX JR. Staff Writer College Station police have increased security at the College Station Cemetery after receiving six reports of broken headstones, broken pictures and stolen flowers there since late June. But a College Station city employee believes more action is needed to deter vandals from damaging the cemetery. Alfred Miller, College Station's director of public services, said the two most recent attacks of vandalism were during the Fourth of July weekend. A week earlier, a mausoleum cover was left ajar, exposing a casket. Miller recommended about two weeks ago that a security fence be placed around the city cemet- ery to keep vandals out. City Manager King Cole said he sent a report to Mayor Larry Ringer about a week ago saying that a fence around the cemetery could be a possible solution. Cole said the only negative point about putting up a fence is that it would take away from the cemetery's beauty. Cole said he also suggested the report be stu- died by the city's Cemetery Committee. Delmer G. Charanza, cemetery sexton, said a fence would make it tougher for vandals to get into the cemetery through Bee Creek Park and the D.A. "Andy" Anderson Arboretum, which are now separated from the cemetery by a barbed - wire fence. Miller said that if a fence is put up, it would prevent people from going through the cemetery to fish in the arboretum, forcing them to get to it from Texas Avenue. He said the proposed fence would be 2,650 feet long. Charanza said keeping fishermen from getting to the arboretum is not the problem. "The prob- lem is vandalism," he said. Charanza said vandalism has occurred in the Turn to VANDALS, 3A Vandals cemetery for the past two summers. "Summer is the time when vandalism picks up," he said. "It's always like that. It'll happen for a few days and then it'll stop." Charanza said the public service department tiad - roblems last summer wi youths knocking over flower vases. "Last year we saw kids as they were running away, but we never caught them." he said. Charanza also said the vandals' actions damage more than a grave site. They hurt living family mem as well. Fr6m' 1A Miller said families who have had hgdstones damaged have not been reimbursed. H51haid he was not sure what the city's obligations g.in that regard, because it has never been dond f efore.

The city staff has recommended that the city go with the second - lowest bidder, Young Brothers Inc., because Young Brothers, with its $27,779 bid, can complete the job in 45 days. The Young Brothers bid is only $700 higher than the lowest bid, by R.T. Montgomery Inc., which is asking for 100 days to complete the job. By the time the Holleman - Wellborn crossing is complete, it will have been two years since two Texas A &M students died in separate train accidents within the same week at the nearby Luther Street crossing in September 1984. Once the Holleman Drive crossing is complete, the Luther Street in- tersection will 1 e closed and traffic will be routed to Holleman, City Manager King Cole said. The city has been waiting for Southern Pacific to finish its part of the new crossing. The council, which will meet at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave., also will hold a public hearing and vote on the distribution of $742,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds. Budgeted amounts for CDBG funds now include: $250,000 for housing assistance, $75,000 for the branch library, $40,000 for Mental Health Mental Retardation of Brazos Valley, $175,000 for street construc- tion and $30,000 for the prenatal clinic.

He said the balloons had been out only about 10 minutes when he re- ceived the cal . There has even been trouble using balloons for grand openings, even though the helium bubbles deflate within a matter of hours. The purpose of the ordinance apparently is to prevent, for example, businessmen such as Council Mem- ber Fred Brown from sticking bal- loons on all the antennas of the cars at his dealership, if it were located in College Station, said Council Mem- ber Dick Haddox. But council members agreed to re- consider the ordinance at their next meeting. "I want to amend the ordinance, if we're outlawing balloons," said Council Member James Bond. "I've never seen a balloon yet that offended me." What's the harm in a bundle of bobbing, bouncing balloons? College Station City Council members couldn't answer that ques- tion when Lyle Steckelberg, co- owner of Balloon Bonanza, came be- fore them Thursday night to ask for a little mercy. The city's zoning ordinance lists balloons "or gas- filled objects attached to any premise or structure" as prohibited signs. Steckelberg has taften that to mean that sorority houses can't even use balloons when they have decorating contests. City Attorney Cathy Locke said the student houses probably don't come under that section of the ordinance. 11 Some time back, Steckelberg said, he placed a long, colorful plume of balloons outside his Colle& Station store and received a telephone "warning" that he had 10 minutes to The Eagle/ Friday, July 25,1986 L: • Police interest appreciated My wife and I would like to con- gratulate the College Station Police Department on the fine job it is doing in the city. Not only in the phase of public protection, but also in the job of community relations. Twice in the past two months while walking in Southwood Valley with our three young children, officers of the department have stopped and shown interest in the people of the community. The first time. Officer Wayne Thompson stopped and in- troduced the children to the dog he works with, and demonstrated how well the dog was trained. Just yesterday evening while we were visiting with new neighbors who recently moved here to Col- lege Station, Officer Bob Price stopped and let the children see his police car. The children were thril- led on both occasions to see some- thing up close that normally they only see on television. Not only does this make my job easier as parent to teach the children that police officers are our best friends in time of need or fear, but was very impressive to our new neighbors in demonstrating the friendliness and warmth this city has to offer. This attitude towards the general public gives me great pride in the job our police department is doing for our community. I feel the two officers should be commended on the fine job they are doing and I wish to extend again my personal thanks to them both. MR. and MRS.

The lot is across the street from the Zachry Engineering Center on University Drive and is conve- nient to the Texas A &M campus. Although the majority of the lot spaces are reserved for Skaggs' patrons, the store direc- tor, Oliver Bishop, declined to comment on how Skaggs handles the illegal parking problem. . Music Express manager Carlos Rodriguez says the store uses a tow service to remove cars parked illegally and will warn non -pa- trons verbally from parking in their reserved spaces. "It's extremely embarrassing for a business owner or manager to have a customer come in and complain about walking in the hot sun because they had to find a parking space away from your store," Rodriguez says. He says he works closely with Fat Burger, the restaurant next door, to regulate people who park illegally in the 12 to 14 spaces reserved for their employ- ees and patrons. "I don't tow - unless I inform them (Fat Burger)," Rodriguez says. "When his spaces are filled, his customers park over here and when mine are full my customers park there." He says the store used to spend about $30 a month on spray paint and flyers to warn people about illegal parking, but because the store has reduced the hours it's open this summer, they can't af- ford the materials.

BID #87 -09 0725- 86,08 -01-86 The Eagle/ Friday, August 1, 1986 • Bond named new deputy chancellor By BRAD OWENS Staff Writer College Station City Councilman James Bond will return to the Texas A &M University system Sept. I. assuming the title of deputy chancel- lor for legal and external affairs. Bond resigned from a similar posi- tion at A &M two and a half years ago. In addition to his responsibility for legal affairs, Bond will be the system's liaison with local commun- ity leaders and the federal govern- ment. Bond, 50, is the second deputy chancellor appointee to be announced by Chancellor Perry L. Adkisson within the past week. Earlier. Adkis- son named William_ H. Mobley depu- ty chancellor to assist in business, financial, and related matters. Both appointments are subject to con- firmation by the A &M system board of regents. Bond said an important part of his new job will be to "make certain that A &M is a player in matters involving Turn to BOND, 4A B ond From 1A this community. d t tt in oats that A; , ' h doubts that conflicts Bond said he currently has no plans to resign from the city council, but that his continued service on the council will depend upon the wishes of the regents, real or perceived con- flicts of interest, and the time re- quired by the new job. Bond said he would excuse himself from council deliberations on any negotiations between the city and the university system. Bond will leave his law firm at the end of August. Bond said he decided to return to A &M because of the interest shown toward him by Adkisson and the re- gents. The appointment of Adkisson as chancellor last month made the job more attractive, he said., Adkisson cited the value of Bond's past experience with the system, saying, "No one knows more about the intimate workings of the system than ii..

"It is my intention to strengthen the ties between the university system and local government and local busi- ness leaders, and Jimmy Bond can play a key role in such efforts. As the university system and the community Bon sat e would arise, because the attraction of industry or research to the area helps both the city and the university. "Everybody is for everybody in the whole industrial development program," Bond said. jointly suffer from the current econo- mic downturn, it is more important than ever that we work closely together in various endeavors, in- cluding efforts to bring new indus- tries here and create more jobs.' One possible area for a conflict of interest for Bond lies in industrial re- cruitment, because A &M and the city of College Station both have multi- million- dollar recruitment efforts in progress. A &M is trying to attract research and development interests to its park west of the main campus. while the city of College Station is working to develop a high -tech in- dustrial park at the southern edge of the city. College Station Mayor Larry Rin- ger, a professor of statistics at A &M, said he is happy for Bond and sees no reason for Bond to leave the council. Ringer said the governments of Col- lege Station, Bryan, and Brazos County have worked together more in recent years, and that he is encour- aged by Adkisson's intention to im- prove relations between A &M and the community. Prior to his resignation on Feb. 1, 1984, to re -enter private legal prac- tice, Bond was vice chancellor for legal and public affairs. He first joined the system staff in 1976 and previously practiced law in Navaso- ta.

Bond will return to the Texas A &M University System staff Sept. 1 as deputy chancellor, with re- sponsibilities similar to those that he held when he resigned two and a half years ago. Bond, 50, is the second deputy chancellor appointee to be an- nounced by Chancellor Perry L. Ad- kisson within the past week. Earlier, he named Dr. William H.

Adkisson said Bond will concen- trate on legal and external affairs, emphasizing liason with local com- munity leaders and governmental relations at the federal level.

"He is a person in whom I hold great trust and for whom I have im- mense respect, and he is also held in the highest regard by the regents, the administration and faculty for his ability and warm manner," Ad- kisson said. "I know that he is also held in great respect in the community and can be highly effective in working with local leaders to attain goals that are mutually beneficial," he added.

Bond • New traffic light system in CS near completion 0 By Jean Lennox Reporter College Station residents will find themselves growling at a few more stoplights next month after the city completes a new $295,300 traffic light system on Wellborn Road, Texas Avenue and FM 2818. The lights will be completed in the next 30 days, says Bill Bock - mon, managing resident engi- neer for the State Department of Highways and Public Transporta- tion. College Station Traffic En gi- neer John Black says the traffic light project started March 10th and consists of five new traffic signals that cost about $60,000 each. Black says federal funds were made available for the lights after data revealed an excess number of accidents on the street. The state earmarks funds for highway improvement, he says, and the money is distributed to cities on the basis of need. The city recorded the traffic frequency on all the city streets and recorded the number of acci- dents from 1981 -84, then sent all the information to Austin, he says. "There must have been enough accidents at those inter- sections for them to give us the money," Black says. Bockman said the five new sig- nals are at the intersections of FM 2818 and Longmire Drive, FM 2818 and Rio Grande Boulevard, Wellborn Road and Southwest Parkway, University Drive and Wellborn Road, and Texas Ave- nue and Deacon Road. He says 90 percent of the pro- ject was funded by the federal F and 10 percent was funded by the state. A new feature of the lights is a loop detector under the pave- ment that senses metallic objects, he says. When a vehicle approaches the light, it sends a message to a com- puter at city hall. The computer then determines the optimum traffic flow for that intersection. "This will help avoid any con- gestion at the lights when all the students return for the fall," he says. Black explains that since he is in charge of the traffic signal sys- tem in College Station, he re- ceives all the nasty phone calls from people who are upset about the lights. "I didn't realize that public re- lations was 90 percent of the job when I took it," Black says with a laugh.

The council will meet at 5 p.m. in a workshop session in council cham- bers at City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave. The council will hold its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday. D &S Construction Co. wants to reduce the current width of the flood plain to a narrov, --r channel from north of FM 60 in Bryan to Texas 30 in College Station, according to re- ports from the city staff. The developers must submit their plans to the Federal Emergency Man- agement Agency and need support from the council before their plans can be considered. The report from D &S indicates that rerouting the flood plain will allow the company to develop 220 acres it owns along the plain. After the flood plain is relocated, the city would be responsible for mowing a 25 -acre area, cleaning debris and re- moving sedimentation at a cost of more than $6,000 a year. D &S estimates the city could greatly increase its tax revenues in the area once the company develops its property. At its regular Thursday meeting, the council will hear a presentation from Duke Bonilla, representing loc- al restaurants who would like the city to extend the hours of sale for on- premise alcoholic beverages to 2 a.m. No action is expected at the meeting. The council will also hold a public hearing and consider an appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of a request for a conditional use permit for child care service for a . maximum of 12 children at 203 Fran- cis Ave. The council also will consider an ordinance to create an Adopt -a -Spot program to involve local organiza- tions in keeping public areas free of litter — similar to the Adopt -a- Highway program. The Eagle/ Wednesday, August 13, 1986 Gulf States Utilities cancels dividend, asks for rate hike AUSTIN (AP) — Gulf States Uti- lities, which canceled a stock divi- dend last week for the first time in three decades, must seek higher cus- tomer rates to weather a worsening financial crisis, GSU's president said Monday. "We absolutely have to have in- creased revenues from the custom- ers," GSU President E. Linn Draper said. "We can't go to Wall Street and borrow, even for the short term. It is a crisis situtation." GSU is seeking a rate increase in Louisiana, and a similar hike will be requested in Texas later this year, he said. " If' we don't get a large amount of increase in rates in the two jurisdic- tions, we will not have the cash that is required to continue to do business," Draper told a news conference. "It's a critical time in our corporate life. Our financial condition is plainly grave." Draper said the company is suf. feria from the economic battering that as hit communities all along the Texas-Louisiana Gulf coast, where unemployment has soared as the petrochemical industry has de- clined. We said GSU is doing "everything we can" to avoid bankruptcy, "We think bankruptcy would be a i disaster, not only for the owners of the company but for the region in general,' he said. "I think the bank- ru of a major utility like oars i would have repercussions that would further damage an already fragile economy along the Texan Louisiana Gulf Coast," Before last week's decision by the company's board, Gulf States had paid dividends since 1947, Draper said. Despite that cancellation, how- ever, Gulf States' anticipated income next year will still fall about $500 million short of anticipated ex- senses, he said. Gulf States has taken every action possible to cut costs and continue op- erating, he said. The utility eliminated jobs, of- fered early retirement to more em- ployees, froze management salaries and negotiated a wage freeze with its unions, Draper said. It also has sold bonds and borrowed what it can, he said.

BID #87 -14 08 -14- 86,08 -21-86 Page 2/The Battalion/Wednesday, August 13, 1986 Opinion Pull the plug While Bryan residents will be basking in the glow of cheaper electrical power, College Station may be forced to weather yet another increase in utility rates. College Station's troubles stem from its electrical supplier, Gulf States Utilities, which expects its customers to pay for the obsolete River Bend nuclear power plant it built in Louisiana. It's time to pull the plug on Gulf States' continual rate increases. The city of Bryan announced Monday that its customers won't have to pay fuel charges in August and September be- cause of the cheaper cost of fuel and increased efficiency of the Bryan Utilities power plant. Bryan lowered its fuel costs last year when it sold some of its megawatts to other electric companies, and Bryan Utilities is ahead of budget by $900,000. Meanwhile, GSU is proposing another substantial rate hike. The company's president, E. Linn Draper, says GSU is in an eco- nomic crisis and needs $150 million to $175 million more each year to dig itself out of its hole. Draper proposes that customers pay more of the utility's costs, including the cost of River Bend, now operating near Ba- ton Rouge, La. College Station residents already have been paying for the power plant, and until recently were providing more funding than the Louisiana residents who were supposed to benefit from its construction. But GSU admits that the demand for power generated from River Bend is almost non - existent. While it's unfortunate that GSU is facing financial difficulty because of a bad investment in River Bend, College Station and other customers should not be subjected to incessant power cost adjustments just to help the company fend off the throes of bankruptcy. GSU built the River Bend plant, and it should absorb the losses for its fiasco. College Station residents shouldn't be ex- pected to pay for services they don't receive — they're paying enough already for the services they do receive. They will only tolerate so many rate hikes before they really blow a fuse.

Aug. 28 By VIRGINIA KIRK Staff Writer The College Station city council agreed Thursday to hold a public hearing Aug. 28 and vote at that time on an ordinance to extend the city's drinking hours to 2 a.m. every night. A group of College Station res- taurant owners, informally repre- sented by attorney Tim Crowley, want the hours extended to attract more conventions and tourists to the city and to improve business when the drinking age goes to 21 at the end of the month. Taverns now must close at midnight on weekdays and I a.m. on the weekends. Mayor Larry Ringer said that the council has been trying to give the convention industry a push and the increased hours could give the city an advantage, so he is in favor of con- sidering an extension now. He added that this may be a better time for later hours since younger people who tend to abuse the pri- vilege will no longer be allowed to drink. Crowley told the council that the city had lost the Wholesale Distribu- tors of Texas convention and may lose the state's sheriff's convention because of the.,early, closing hours. And hotel owners say that the hours are the biggest complaint from firefighters every year. The city of Waco extended its drinking hours to 2 a.m. in April and it is doubling its liquor tax revenues, Crowley said. He added that the city did not report any increase in the number of driving while intoxicated and public intoxication arrests. Waco did not add to its police staff to accomodate the later hours, a con- cern the College Station city staff will address in a report for the council. Duke Bonilla, a Corpus Christi businessman and former Texas A &M student working for the ordinance, talked to many local restaurant own- ers and all agree with the proposal. Bonilla said the initiative was started by developer John Culpepper. Culpepper believes more national Turn to DRINKING, 4A Drinking franchise restaurants would lease space in the area if they could stay open later. "He is concerned about the cli- mate that exists for some of these restaurants," Bonilla said about Cul- pepper. "This is the best thing to do for the convention and tourist busi- ness and the future of the city." Bonilla said the College Station re- quest has support from Traditions. J.T. McCords, Bennigan's and the Dixie Chicken. But there is another side. Florence Wagner, secretary for Mothers Against Drunk Driving. said MADD is very much against the re- quest. "We've made such headway in this county — from 32 highway deaths in 1983 to 15 in 1985." Wag- ner said.. "This would be a definite step backward in saving lives on our highways." She also said the idea that the city will increase its convention business is a myth because tourists who want to drink late usually buy a bottle and drink it in their rooms. "1 don't think anybody really has kept figures on how many people ha- ven't booked conventions because of the drinking hours," Wagner said. "It's probably because there are no zoos, museums or theaters. She said that most social drinkers stop before midnight, so the extended hours will put more serious drinkers on the road, since there will be fewer responsible people to drive them home. Don Ganter, owner of the Dixie Chicken, said the extended hours may keep more people off the road while drinking. "There's a lot to be said for a con- From 1A trolled environment in lieu oC a non - controlled environment." Ganter said. He said he gets up to five calls each week from out -of -town visitors in- quiring about the drinking hours. "When I tell them, they start refer- ring to this place as an archaeological dig," Ganter said. Bonilla said Bryan - College Station is the biggest metropolitan area in Texas besides Abilene that closes at midnight and I a.m. on the weekends. John Lane, manager of J.T. McCord's, said his business is a re- sponsible restaurant. "We look after people who cur- rently drink in our establishment." Lane said. "Since they're cutting out younger people from drinking, they should allow the adults to drink later. " The EAGLE/ Friday, August, 15, 1986 • CS faces increase in property tax By VIRGINIA KIRK Staff Writer Although the College Station prop- erty tax rate will remain the same as it's been for many years. residents will effectively be hit with a 12 per- cent tax increase to fund next year's budget. Because of the 12 percent increase, the council Thursday set a public heYrring for Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. to set the tax rate at 38 cents per $100 valuation. Any rate increase over 3 percent requires a public hearing, and anything more than 8 percent subjects the city to a rollback election. The current effective tax rate for College Station's tax roll is 33.8 cents, which is the rite that would produce enough revenue for the cur- rent year's debt requirements and ex- actly the same revenue as collected last fiscal year. The effective rate is based on property valuations which, over the entire city, have increased during the past year. The effective rate does not consid- er actual collection rates. The proposed 38 -cent rate is needed to meet the city's net operat- ing budget of $53.8 million. City Manager King Cole said. But Mayor Larry Ringer said that taxpayers should pay the same as they did last year unless their valuations changed. In other action, the council agreed to accept a low $123,720 bid from G &S Sandblasting and Painting Co. to repaint the water tower, at Texas Avenue and Holleman Drive. even though the company cannot obtain the $5 million in liability insurance the city had requested. The city said it would accept the G &S bid with a $1 million insurance umbrella that the company said it could get. The council did not consider awarding the contract to the second lowest bidder — who could get $5 million in insurance — because the project would cost $14.000 more. The council also approved an addi- tional $57,575 for the Lincoln Street extension —an 18 percent increase in the cost of the construction. Cole said the increase was required for addi- tional lime and better soil to stabilize the road. In other action, the council: ■ Overturned a Planning and Zoning Commission de6ision that had denied a request from a Francis Street resident to operate child care services for up to 12 children. Kathy Hudgens currently has six children that she cares for and requested a conditional use permit, to which the council granted. ■ Approved a bid for $16,500 to Grassworks to do irrigation work at City Hall and a bid of $59,300 for landscaping at the complex. ■ Approved an Adopt -a -Spot program to be promoted by Brazos Beautiful. The program lets area businesses and organizations beautify and maintain public areas like traffic islands and schools.

The commission's actJon came af- ter member Steven Stewart asked: "Do you see a mad rush for people to fill the skies over College Station with balloons ?" i Planning and zoning commission- ers got the problem after the owner of a balloon sales business appeared be- fore the council to complain that it could not decorate the exterior of its store with the products it..sells. A city sign ordinance pf"ohibits'the use of balloons or other gas - filled ob- jects to mark a place of business. Commissioners directed the city attorney to prepare a proposed ordi- nance that would authorize decora- tive balloons. Any advertising bal- loon, however, would be subject to the size and height regulation of the sign ordinance.

The new budget allocates $41,768 to alcoholism programs, although the state has cut $33,000 in grants for the local programs. Executive director Glenn Cook said he will continue to seek state funding for the programs. None of the seven counties that support the council will be paying more under the proposed budget. The BVDC also approved a grant application for $17,596 to fund four free emergency medical services courses for volunteer firefighters in Brazos County, Marquez, Nor - mangee and Iola. The council approved a request to ask the Housing and Urban Develop- ment area office for rental subsidies for 702 additional recipients, although HUD has told the council only 52 additional recipients will be subsidized in the area. The council decided to ask for more in case HUD receives any new federal funds. "Our HUD area office needs to know there is still a need that's not being met," Laura Klesel, head of the BVDC housing services, said ab- out the large request. The council also approved the nomination of Brazos County Judge R.J. "Dick" Holmgreen as second vice - president of the Texas Associa- tion of Regional Councils. Holm - green is the chairman of the BVDC executive committee. The TARC will vote on new officers in September. The Eagle/ Friday, August 22, 1986 C aQW araphic by L -sa Schroeder Local unemployment rate takes a turn for the better By ROBERT POOL Business Writer The local employment picture took a dramatic turn for the better in July, with the jobless rate dropping 1.4 percent from June's high of 9 percent. Statistics released Thursday by the Texas Employ- ment Commission show that 1,800 more Brazos County residents held jobs in July than in June, and the number of jobs increased in each of the seven other Brazos Valley counties as well. The region reflected the improving employment pic- ture across the state, where total employment grew by 208,000 and the unemoQyment rate fell from 11.1 to 9.3 percent. In July, the Bryan office of the TEC had 943 initial claims for unemployment compensation, down slightly from June's 952, but still much higher than the 611 initial claims in July 1985. The office had a good month filling job openings: It found jobs for 690 people in July, many of them summer jobs for youth. That was one more job than the 689 jobs filled in July 1985. Walt Baker, area director of the TEC, said he thinks the worst is over in the local job market. "I think we're over the hump for the summer," he said. "The rate shouldn't go back up to 9 percent, but I don't see a downward trend, either." Instead,. he said, he is hoping for an August jobless rate in thy. 7 percent range. And, if Texas A &M is not hurt too badly by budget cuts currently under considera- tion by the state Legislature, the September rate could Turn to JOBLESS, 3A THE EAGLE/ Friday, August 22, 1986 0 Jobless From 1A drop into the 6 percent range. It should stay in that range for a while, he said. The employment picture showed a similar improvement across the Bra- zos Valley, with jobless rates drop- ping in every county. Grimes County had the greatest drop, from 18.8 per- cent to 15.3 percent. Washington County remained as the county with the area's lowest unemployment rate: 5.3 percent, down from June's 6.1 percent. Although those numbers look good compared with the last couple of months, historically they are high. In February, the local jobless rate went over 6 percent for only the second time in the 13 years records have been keptdAay's 6.7 percent rate was a re c high. B er said the reasons for the tur- naround in the local job market are unclear - he cannot point to any one area of the market as being responsi- ble for the increase in employment. The jobless figures provided by the TEC are calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics from surveys of households in the area, and these sur- veys do not indicate which sectors of the economy account for which jobs. The only sector -by- sector analysis is done by the local office of the TEC from an employers' survey, and that analysis does not match up well with the BLS statistics. The local office's analysis shows an increase of only 100 nonagricultu- ral jobs in Brazos County from June to July. Losses of 200 service jobs and 300 jobs in retail trade were ba- lanced by increases of 200 govern- ment jobs, and 100 jobs each in the areas of: manufacturing; construc- tion; transportation, communication and utilities; and financial, insurance and real estate. The sector -by- sector analysis esti- mates the number of nonagriculural jobs in Brazos County without refer- ence to where the workers live. Although the two job surveys are done by completely different methods, their results usually match up pretty well. Baker, who uses the sector -by- sector analysis to under- stand general trends in the job mar- ket, admitted he was at a loss to ex plain the large increase in jobs. He guessed that summer jobs being taken by both teenagers and adults might not have shown up in the local market analysis.

Staff' Writer " College Station had one of the state's highest percentage increases in the number of major crimes re- ported during the first six months of 1986. The Texas Department of Public Safety released a crime statistics re- port last week which showed College Station with a 30.7 percent increase in major crimes in the first six months of 1986 when compared with the first six months of 1985. The increase was the largest in Brazos County and was 12.1 percent higher than the 18.6 percent statewide increase over the same six - month period. Rural Brazos County, overseen by the sheriff's department, showed the second largest crime increase in the county, with a 25.3 percent increase. The city of Bryan matched the state's figure with an 18.6 percent increase, while Texas A &M Uni- versity reported only a 2.6 percent increase.

By JANN SNELL t.7 rate hike Staff writer Federal regulators have authorized an interim 40 percent rate increase for the wholesale customers of Gulf States Utilities , which serves College Station. Coupled with two other rate hikes that federal authorities said could be instituted later on an interim basis , a local official said College Station rates could approach the highest in Texas. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which regulates wholesale rates, granted GSU's re- quest for the interim rate hike last Friday, until hJhrings can be held on the merits of the request. The utility company could have in- itiated the rate increase Monday, but College Station City Manager King Cole said GSU officials have assured him they will wait until at least Sept . 8, or later. On that date, College Sta- tion representatives and other mem- bers of the Lone Star Municipal Pow- er Agency are scheduled to meet with GSU. College Station and the other three Lone Star cities — Caldwell, Newton and Kirbyville — buy electricity wholesale from GSU, then resell it to their residents. college Station and the Lone Star agency had asked the-FE C to delay the rate increase at least five months, Pending the outcome of the hearings.

Two weeks ago, a group of citizens and businessmen urged the council to consider the later closing times. They said such a move could improve the city's convention business and compensate for the loss of business when the drinking age goes from 18 to 21 in September. Mayor Larry Ringer said the 1 a. m. closing for Fridays and Saturdays was a compromise the council reached in the 1970s when businesses pushed for a similar relaxing of the drinking hours. A similar compromise might be considered Thursday, Rin- ger said. For example, the council might consider allowing restaurants to sell alcohol until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Satur- days, or changing all days to I a.m. But Ringer said he is not yet convinced that any change is needed in the city's closing ordinance. A 2 a.m. closing would bring in little additional revenue from the mixed beverage tax to the city, according to a report prepared by Deputy Finance Director Glenn Schroeder. If the city collected $100,000 from the tax this fiscal year, the extension in the drinking hours would only increase the city's revenue by 1.5 percent, or $1,500. College Station anticipates collecting only $88,000 from the tax this fiscal year. Ringer said that amount would not compensate for the additional police hours he believes would be required to patrol the city with a later bar closing time. "I'm going to need some convincing," Ringer said. "I've heard from people on both sides. "I'm concerned about the cost to the city in terms of stretching out the police hours," he said. problem about the pro .m. making a difference. , I don't think Bryan - College Station Eagle Wednesday, August 27, 1986 Page 9A on late c most persons at conventions stay out that long. "On the other hand, I have a difficult time trying to legislate morality," Ringer said. Ringer said he has not made up his mind to vote against the ordinance and could be convinced, with better arguments or more public support, to vote in favor of the change or a compromise. The council on Thursday also will consider contributing about $6,000 to a study which will consider the feasibility of developing a countywide 911 emergency telephone system. The city of Bryan and Brazos County have already approved their share of the funding for the study. The council also will: ■ Hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance on, removing balloons from the list of prohibited signs. ■ Consider bids on building a hurricane fence around the; cil cemetery to hinder further vandalism. Consider names for the wilderness park south of town; off Texas 6. ■ Consider a resolution to build a $500,000 road for Douglas Aircraft should the company locate its new plant in College Station.

GSU, facing bankruptcy, is pleading for sympathy. Col- lege Station, facing the highest utility rates in the state, should not be fooled so easily. If the increased rates go into effect, it will mean a substantial rise in electric bills for College Station residents, including most Texas A &M students. The College Station City Council should consider breaking the city's contract with GSU. Implementation of the rate in- crease could scare off new businesses looking to locate in College Station.If College Station hopes to lure industry into the area and bolster the floundering local economy, it must keep utility rates competitive with those in other communities. While College Stations rates have been climbing steadily, Bryan has temporarily reduced electricity costs. The difference in power costs could cause College Station to lose vital industry to its neighbor. For too long GSU has been pushing off its rising costs for the River Bend nuclear power plant in Louisiana on Texas consum- ers. College Station residents have done their part in keeping power costs down through the city's load management program. The effort, while successful, is not enough to combat the pro- posed increases. College Station has tolerated GSU's lack of consumer con- cern long enough. The city needs to fight its way out of the GSU contract. College Station should tell GSU to take a hike, not vice versa.

Some members of the city's cemet- ery committee had expressed opposi- tion to the fence for aesthetic reasons, but Councilwoman Terri Tongco said the fence will keep people from walk- ing from Bee Creek Park into the cemetery and vandalizing it. The cemetery had a rash of vandal- ism this summer, when a crypt was opened, pictures were broken and flowers stolen. The barbed wire will seal off the sides and back of the cemetery, but not the front. Council members said the fence shouldn't be an eyesore most because the boundaries of cemetery do not abutt the grave si The front gates will remain ope Tongco said people also have b parking in the cemetery and walk through it to the park to go fishi This has disturbed some grave for the tes. n. een ing ng. side services. The fence, she said, will prevent these disturbances in the cemetery. It will also allow more protection when the cemetery begins offering a new landscape program for graves, she said. The council agreed to join the city of Bryan and Brazos County to deter- mine the feasibility of a countywide 911 number. Like some residents of Bryan and 911 stud rural Brazos County, some College Station residents reach Bryan's emergency services when they dial 911, which greatly increases the pos- sibilities for miscommunication, City Manager King Cole said. The council also agreed Thursday that it would build a $500,000 road from FM 60 to a plant site just north of Easterwood Airport if Douglas Aircraft Facilities decides to locate in College Station. Douglas Aircraft is considering College Station; along with other sites in Texas and the nation, for a location to build its T45A Goshawk training jet for the U.S. Navy. In other action, the council: ■ Held a public hearing on the whether balloons should be prohi- bited signs, but tabled action on a proposed ordinance that would make balloons legal until it has a report from the Planning and Zoning Com- mission. ■ Approved a beer and liquor license for the Brazos Landing Oyster Emporium, 105 Boyett St. in the Northgate area. The oyster bar is within 300 feet of the Christian Sci- ence Reading Rbom, as are two other establishments in the area that sell alcohol. After a 2 -hour hearing on the city's closing hours, Emporium owner Hugh Stearns commented: "The whole Northgate area has always had beer and church together."

Eagle/Friday, [august 29, 1986 CS complex pays bills after cutoff I%W The management company for a College Station apartment complex paid a delinquent electric bill Thurs- day, averting a second termination of service to the complex. Southgate Village tenants went almost three hours without electricity Tuesday after the management failed to pay the bill despite repeated warn- ings from the utility company. Byram Properties, an Austin -based firm, agreed Tuesday to pay the bill by Thursday and work out an agreement for this month's bill, a city of College Station spokesman said. The spokesman said this is the first time in recent years the department has had problems with delinquent bills for an apartment complex. She said no other complexes are delin- quent. Eagle/ Friday, August 29, 1986 EDITORIALS Utility rate hike must be challenged o what extent should College Station residents be penalized for Gulf States Utilities' bad judgment? That's the essence of the current controversy be- tween the city and its wholesale electric supplier. GSU built an expensive nuclear power plant in Louisiana that no- body needs. It can be argued that the River Bend plant had to be an expensive nuclear plant because federal policy in the late 1970s virtually mandated that new power plants be nuclear; it can be argued that the power demand predictions on which GSU justified construction of that plant were made in good faith. But none of that changes that fact that GSU now insists that it be protected from the implications of its bad business decisions at the expense of its customers. This is not an abstract issue. If GSU is allowed to dodge the cost of its mistakes — and federal regulators already have agreed to an "interim" rate hike toward that end — then Col- lege Station will end up with some of the highest utility rates in Texas. To pay for a nuclear power plant in Louisiana, a plant that will not generate a single kilowatt of electricity needed for local consumption. Clearly, College Station's ability to attract new industry and new investment will be devastated by such a move. So will the pocketbooks of its residents — an electric bill that cost $84 this month will cost $124 under the new rates. And for what? To protect GSU from the real -world implications of its own actions? It's raining everywhere these days, guys; GSU has no right to expect its customers to insulate it from the pain of the current "oil bust. " The decision by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to allow GSU to implement a rate hike without regard to its merit must not be allowed to stand unchallenged. City officials are urging local residents to write the Secretary of FERC and protest the rate hike. Those letters should be addressed to: Kenneth Plumb, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 825 N. Capitol Street Washington, D.C. 20426 City officials are asking.that these letters be sent to the Col- lege Station utility office so that the city's attorneys can hand - deliver them to the FERC offices in Washington. We strongly concur, and encourage you to let Rep. Joe Barton and Sen. Phil Gramm know how strongly you feel about the matter as well.

It . has a dance floor, a stage and an 800 - square -foot deck for outdoor meet- ings and parties. The center, at 1300 Jersey St. across from the Texas A &M golf course, opened to the public in 1982. It is a non -profit service offered by the city. "Any group, individual or busi- ness can rent space at the commu- nity center for parties, conventions; workshops or whatever," Commu- nity Center Director Peggy Calliham says. Calliham says different kinds of groups — non commercial, political or commercial — are charged differ- ent fees. "The 'way they are charged is based on the nature of the group," she says. "Most of our groups are non -com- mercial, like a garden club, a sorority or a bass fishermen's club." Those types of clubs pay a lower non -com- mercial rate. "If you are a business, like a Dale Carnegie course, you pay a commer- cial rate," Calliham says. "If you are a political candidate setting up a meeting, you would pay a different range of fees." Deposits and other fees also vary depending on the number of people who attend, whether alcohol is served and which room in the center is rented. The rooms range from classroom - size to a 3,000 square -foot mu l t i- purpose room with a parquet floor and an adjoining deck. On one patio is a table for picnics and domino games. A kitchen com- plete with a microwave oven, an ice machine and two refrigerators also is available. A piano, movie screens, micro- phones and other party and meeting equipment may be rented. Reservations should be made at least one month in advance, Calli- ham says but reservations for wed- ding receptions and holiday parties should be made at least six months 'in advance. BATTALION / Wednesday, September 3, 1986 0 Today is the acid test 0 • By JANN SNELL Staff Writer Today may be the test of College Station's electric load management program. Historically, on the third day after Texas A &M classes resume in the fall —almost always a Wednesday —the city has had its highest demand day of the year. Charlie Shear, College Station's energy specialist, said that in the last 15 years, the peak -use day has devi- ated only twice from this rule. Once was last year when use of electricity peaked on Sunday. Sept. 1. Temperatures that day reached 106 degrees, and it was the first Sunday after the repeal of the state's Sunday closing law that most department stores were allowed to open. Another year, Shear said, it rained on Wednesday, and the next day, a Thursday, provided the year's peak. Shear said it is a mystery why Wednesday is usually the high -use day for College Station. In Austin, the peak day usually occurs on Tues- day, he said, Gulf States Utilities sets College Station's wholesale rates each year based on the 30- minute period which had the highest demand during the year. That 30- minute period has almost always fallen between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. During this period, the city is asking all consumers to lower their thermostats and be careful about opening their refrigerators. "We used to have a tremendous increase in use between 4 and 8 p.m. before the load management manage -, ment program went into effect, Shear said. "Kids would be getting home from school, turning up the air conditioner and opening the re- frigerator. People would be getting home from work and starting lo cook. Then they'd turn the hot water on for something, and the hot water heaters would start running." The peak 30 minutes last year, Shear said, occurred immediately be- fore 4 p.m., indicating that at 4, cus- tomers turned their thermostats down. Shear said 7,500 new electric cus- tomers have signed up in the last few weeks, and College Station's electric department has been working over- time trying to get the message out. . It only takes one day, or one 30- miqute period, for the city to lose its full month of work on the load man- agement program, which continues through Sept. 20. "All we have to do is mess up for one day then regardless of what we do for the month it doesn't matter," Shear said. So far, the peak demand for this year occurred July 29, when the city used 80.7 megawatts. That high and the highest demand in August have remained below last year's peak of 83.7 megawatts. Since the load management program started, residents and businesses have kept the peak at 74 megawatts. This year's goal is to stay below 88 megawatts, which will save the city and its ratepayers more than $500,000.

C � J THE EAGLE/ Saturday, September 6, 1986 Bryan - College Station Eagle Sunday, September 7, 1986 C ounty b udget . annln H x t� t� r t� co rn By RONNIE CROCKER Staff Writer As the budget - planning process kicks into high gear Monday, most Brazos County department heads appear ready to heed the call of the commissioners court to "hold the line" on spending. Budget hearings will begin at 1 p.m. Monday, and full days of hear- ings are scheduled every day next week. During the hearings, county department heads and elected offi- cials personally present their budget proposals to the commissioners for consideration. County Judge Dick Holmgreen said Thursday that he has asked each of them to try to keep their proposals in line with 1986 budgets. With the local economy in its current condi- tion, he said, budgets should be kept as tight as possible. "I personally will be looking hard at everything (during the hearings)," he said. Another reason for keeping the county budget as lean as possible, Holmgreen said, is that taxes will have to be raised at least 10 percent already to finance the state - mandated indigent health care program. A 10 percent increase would amount to ab- out a 3 -cent per $100 valuation in- crease in property taxes. And Holmgreen said he believes his position is pretty well understood throughout the county system. "I think they (department heads) are responding," he said. "I'm opti- mistic that we will successfully be able to hold the line." But Holmgreen added that he will not ignore legitimate needs for in- creases. "I'm not hard - headed enough to make it detrimental to the county," he said. Pct. 2 Commissioner Walter Wil- cox said the county jail may have a legitimate need for an increase, due to the opening of the renovated sec- tion of the jail later this year. The two county and three district courts may also need more money, he said. - Sheriff Ronnie Miller, however, sounded determined Thursday.-to do his part to "hold the line" on spend- ing. Since new jailers will have to be added before the end of the year, he said, his 1987 budget proposal will be similar to the amended 1986 budget. The only increases that will be necessary are directly proportional to the increased capacity of the jail, Mil- ler said. Specifically, he said he ex- pects food and medical costs to in- crease as more prisoners are kept at the jail. Other department heads also appeared willing to keep spending in check. Most said they will ask for only minimal increases, if any. Ernie Wentrcek, director of juve- nile services, said he will propose a minor increase over his 1986 budget of $747,000. He said the extra $1,800 will be used to cover medical costs and psychological exams for juvenile probationers and to pay for contract placement services for them. Wentrcek said his proposed budget also calls for a shift in money away from other areas to further supple- ment those two services. He said his proposal contains no provisions for pay increases. County Attorney Jim Kuboviak said his $419,000 proposal is slightly higher than his 1986 budget. He said the extra money is needed to cover rising malpractice insurance costs and to send his employees to addi- tional continuing education classes, as mandated by the Texas Legisla- ture. Dan Beto, head of the adult proba- tion department, said he will ask for between $5,000 and $6,000. He ex- plained that most of his expenses are covered by state and federal grants, and the county normally only pro- vides money for furniture, equipment and maintenance. Pct. 1 Commissioner Bill Cooley said he is pleased with the prelimin- ary response of the department heads and other elected officials because 1987 will not be a good year for rapid expansion. And he said it will take a lot to convince him to approve sub- stantial increases for any depart- ment's budget. "Somebody's going to have to do some fast talking," he said. Holmgreen said he hopes to have the budget approved and the new tax rate set by the end of the month.

The proposed rate is 38 cents per $106 property valuation, which is the same rate College Station property owners now pay. The 38 -cent rate, however, is a 12.23 percent increase in the effective tax rate for the city. That means it will bring in more than the city needs to pay its debt service this year and more than it collected last year for its general fund. The 38 -cent rate will produce $3,567,774 for debt service, $253,666 for the debt service reserve and $218,501 for the general fund. The rate also anticipates $212,628 as being uncollectible. Most of the city's taxes are devoted to debt service, and most operating expenses are financed from utility re- venues. The council also will consider hir- ing a medical director for its ambu- lance service so that College Sta- tion's paramedics can offer advanced life - support skills. Richard Herron, a family practi- tioner who moved here in July, already has signed the contract to b the city's medical director. In executive session, the counci will be briefed on the status of Gull States Utility Co.'s proposed 40 per- cent rate increase over the next three years. City Manager King Cole said Gulf States has given no promises that it won't institute the rate increase im- mediately. The Federal Energy Reg- ulatory Commission gave the com- pany the right to collect its higher rates last month pending the outcome of rate hearings in Washington. Gulf States promised College Sta- tion and other cities that purchase energy wholesale that it would wait until at least Monday to institute the higher rates. Cole said city officials met with Gulf States on Monday but no agreements were reached. Gulf States representatives also would not say if they would hold off the rate increase until further meetings can be held, he said. Cole said the city might not know Gulf States intentions until it receives its Oct. 20 bill from the company for the wholesale energy. The council also will meet in a workshop session at 5 p.m. today. An organization and managment study, e conducted by an outside firm, is to be presented to the council at that 1 meeting. • THE EAGLE /Wednesday, September 10, 1986 c , u W MOM IT MAY CONCERN: The College Station City Council will hold a public hearing on the question of re- zoning the following property: 15.44 acres of land located west of Dartmouth Drive, east of the extension of Cornell Drive, north of Brentwood Section III and Section V sub- divisions, south of the KFO Phase 111 addition subdivision, from R -2 Duplex to Planned Unit Development #2 (PUD #2).

The park contains a small pavilion with historic displays, a state histor- ical marker describing the location of the original Carter homesite in the park, the original water well, walking trails, the city's first commissioned sculpture and a, "discovery garden." Refreshments will be served and the public is invited. mana ement fig,�� Loa g last year's h be low usage agement period — Aug. 20 through Sept. 20, next Saturday — came Thursday, when the city required 75.5 megawatts of electricity, said Charlie Shear, the city's energy spe- cialist. That high is not as high as the 80.7 megawatts used on July 29. If the peak for the year remains at 80.7, it will be lower than last year's peak of 83.7 megawatts. But the city, with its 7,500 new student customers, could still easily top 80 and come close to the 88- megawatt limit any time the weather gets into the 90s, Shear said. "If it gets 90 degrees and they don't keep conserving like they have been, we're sunk," said Shear. "Last week and this week have been critical weeks, but it's not over yet." Shear said the city has begun cal- culating how much more it will save it its peak demand doesn't go over n i megawatts for the year. If the city stays below 88 megawatts, it will save at least $500,000. Gulf States Utilities Co. sets the city's wholesale electric rate for the year based on the peak 30 minutes of use. This usually occurs in late Au- gust when temperatures are still hot and students are back for the fall semester. Shear is asking customers to hold on for another week and continue to turn their thermostats up between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. each day. By JANN SNELL lege Station's load management Staff Writer program.

Monday, a city ordinance permit- ting the city's clubs to sell alcoholic beverages until 1 a.m. on Sunday through Thursday went into effect. The later closings already were per- mitted on Fridays and Saturdays. Some of the more popular clubs haven't even elected to take advan- tage of the liberalized drinking hours. And others have chosen to stay open past midnight only when there is a crowd on hand at that time. Hilton Hotel Manager Mark Arnold said the Sundance Club has continued to shut down at midnight except on weekends, and he expects it to do so until the crowds at closing time indicate a later closing. The Vortex in Post Oak Mail re- ported late business was slow. The Zephyr, in the Woodstone center on Harvey Road, reported midnight crowds justified later clos- ing, but not by much. In Northgate, the Dixie Chicken reported crowds were good both Wednesday and Thursday night, though slow earlier in the week. Assistant Manager Tim Truitt said that Thursday night he had a normal College Station Load Management Program closing -hour crowd at midnight. Duddley's Draw reported many of the students left around midnight, but the locals stayed. And at the Sunset Grill, co -owner Allen Bradshaw said Wednesday and Thursday night crowds were up slightly, but the increase in income was negligible. He said that may well change on weeks when there are home football games. Bradshaw indicated that time — and continuing exposure to the later closing — may eventually pay off for bar owners. "People just get up and leave at midnight," he said, "like they're 1 11 98 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1$ 1 1 Keep the city under this line to save money next year 78 78 I I I& I I i i i 15 16 17 18 19 20 20 2122 23 24 25 26 27 2829 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1314 — August " September-- - This is the amount of electricity, in megawatts, used by the city of College Station since the inception of its load management program.

THE EAGLE/ Wednesday, September 17, 1986 G Break in water main not: serious A 12 -inch water main in College Station broke Monday night, causing some residents to report dirty or dis- colored water. Bennie Luedke, superintendent of College Station's water and sewer de- partment, said no one lost any water and the discolored water should have been cleared up by Tuesday morning. Luedke said a water main off the East Bypass between Holleman Drive and Wolf Pen Creek ruptured Monday night. He said a city crew found the leak and turned off two valves to disconnect the stretch of pipe within 45 minutes, by about 10:15 p.m. Luedke said the rerouting of water probably caused a higher velocity of water through the system, which picked up rust sediment in the lines, causing the darkened water. Luedke said the city received approximately 30 complaints about the water. He said he noticed it at his own home Monday night, but the wa- ter was clear again by Tuesday morning. Luedke said the broken line, which is buried about 10 feet deep, washed out a fairly large hole. He said he hopes the department has it repaired by Tuesday, but he added that it will not affect anyone's water in the city. "The best system is going to have breaks from time to time," he said. 108 lega Notices BID NOTICE The City of College Station is Accepting Bid(s) For: MISCELLANEOUS DUCTILE IRON PIPEAND FITTINGS, GATE VALVESAND PVC PIPE until 2:00 PM, September 26, 1986, at which time the bids will be opened in the office of the Purchasing Agent at the City Hall.

The EAGLE/ Friday, September 19, 1986 Apt. complex must pay up or be shut off The city of College Station will be issuing utility disconnection notices today to about 200 tenants at the Southgate Village Apartments. The city has given the owners of the apartment complex until 9 a.m. on Sept. 26, next Friday, to pay its bills. Southgate Village, 134 Luther St., is a government subsidized complex managed by an Austin firm, Byram Properties. Byram also manages Christopher Village in Bryan, another government subsidized com- plex. Linda Piwonka, College Station's utility office manager, stated in a press release that the owners of Southgate have accumulated unpaid utility bills in the amount of $29,537.48. Also due are $75 in unpaid service fees and a security deposit of $23,000. In August, Byram officials had promised to pay their bill by Sept. 1. Southgate residents lost service for three hours on Aug. 26 because of unpaid bills for the complex. Byram officials had no comment on the situation Thursday. "After many attempts to collect these past due amounts, Sept. 17 was given as the deadline for the apart- ment ownership to make payment," Piwonka stated in the release. "The ownership has failed to meet this deadline. "Our notice to the residents is an effort on the city's part to allow the residents of Southgate time to seek alternative living arrangements, should the apartment owners fail t,) pay the amount due by 9 a.m. on Sept. 26. "
