Stinson said he took part in the Thompson interview, which was conducted in Waco, but he

Waco was the closest location in Texas that officials could find to house Thompson in a federally-approved jail, Stinson said.

The chamber operates on a • shoe-string, she said, and relies heavily on the hotel-motel tax.

Of the chamber's $24,000 an­nual budget, $ IS,000 came from the tax, while the chamber had to dip into festival funds to make up the balance.

The chamber gets 75 percent of the hotel-motel tax, while the city keeps the rest. By law, hotel-motel taxes must be used to encourage hotel and motel occupancy

He said that hotel-motel receipts dropped $2,000 last year, and if more wasn't done with those receipts, there even­tually wouldn't be those tax revenues.

But Jeff Davis County Sheriff Harvey Adams said that wasn't the reason be recently asked the B r e w s t e r C o u n t y Commissioners' Court to house Jeff Davis County prisoners in the Brewster County Jail.

Meeting earlier this month, Brewster officials denied Adams' request but asked that he return to a future meeting with more information. Gonzalez said some former

Presidio County prisoners told him that Bailey mistreated them when he was Presidio County chief deputy sheriff.

Bailey Tuesday denied those allegations.

"I don't want any problems,*" Gonzalez said. "How am I to know he (Bailey) won't mistreat Jeff Davis prisoners that may be put in my jail? We would be liable for any civil rights viola­tions made by those prisoners. I don't want that liability for the county or for Presidio County citizens."

paid Presidio County about $4,500 for the fourth-quarter of 1992 for housing its prisoners in Marfa.

Gonzalez last year raised its prisoner fee to Jeff Davis to $35 a day from $5 a day, a fee that before last year apparently wasn't billed or collected. The fee structure was set up by con­victed former Presidio County SRerifrRiciTThompson, who is serving a life-in-prison sentence for cocaine trafficking.

Gonzalez added that he also plans to begin billing Jeff Davis County for radio dispatching and 9 l l services.

mouth, insert boot By WAHDLEY RED It appears th t another major flap is developing over in Austin,

alsd'knbwn as Armadillo Land. - Out-high-profile Lieutenant Governor, Bob Bullock, has stepped in a high pUc of it. Seems ol' Bob was addressing a Texas Cham­ber of Commerce meeting; attempting to compliment our state •Senator, Judith Zaffirini, when he suddenly uttered a "politically incorrect statement."

Bob offered that if Zaffirini would "cut ber skirt off about six in­ches" and "put on some high heels/ she could get almost any legislation passed. • Now this gem of a statement can be taken several different ways. Was BbbE . A. Truly interested in seeing more of Judith's legs and the effect high heels might have on them?

B. Trying to compliment Judith's legislative skills and offering, constructive criticism? v

C. Acting like a typical Bubba and trying to stuff his size 12 Jus­tin Ropers down his throat?

You make the call, but this writer is going with opinion B. Bob hasn't survived 30 years on the Austin political scene without knowing how to lick his finger and check to see which way the wind is blowing. -Just-iircase you h^venYnotic^rth^^ln^lrrorblowlrymal chauvinist's way. And Bob, having recently become a serious believer in gender equality, was just trying to compliment Zaf­firini the only way us Bubba's know how. We carr appreciate a woman's intelligence, but also can't help but notice if she is attrac tive.

Something tells me Bob is fixing to learn how not to notice. The choice is obvious. The Lieutenant governor will learn, or he will be gone. Everyone who believes Bob Bullock can't continue to survive in Austin is invited over to the house to catch a chartered flight with all expenses paid to the Super Bowl. . Go Cowboys, Bubba is due a break. - — —

another passenger, Tony Quintela, in the front, passenger's side. Quintela was not a volunteer deputy reserve officer at mat time. He was only a citizen of Marfa. Both men got out of the car and approached us. As Travland came to talk to me about the citation, Quintela went to the other side of my truck and started to flash his light inside and out of my camper shell, as if he was searching for something. He then proceeded to come to the front of my truck and flash his light on my daughter's face and start laughing. Knowing that Quintela should not have gotten out of the car, Trav­land did not even stop Quintela's actions. If Travland had any professional manners, he wouldn't have even allowed Quintela to be in his car while on duty. I understand this was not the first time Travland has allowed Quintela to ride with him in his car. After giving me the citation, Travland asked me where I was going. After I told him I was going to my mother's house, he men told me I'd better make sure and go home because he was going to check to see if I was there. Travland did not have any ' right to even ask where I was headed. Even though you might think this is not harassment, I strongly feel it is.

I afrcyery sure and positive that my daughter and I are not the onl>» persons in Marfa who have had to go through this harass­ment and humiliation from these individuals. I feel the people of Marfa shpuld know what was done to my daughter and myself by indW luals considered to act as professionals in their appointed jobrf I'hope that any other person who has gone through the same/will come forward and complain about their misfbrtunet alsofMiybe then, something will be done. nTtfanic: you,.

about your. City Police officer, Mr, Joe Travland, and Municipal Judge, Mawel Lujan. The reasoning U the harassment and un-profeMfonilism manner by Travland while stopping me for a citation, and the un professionalism manner from judge Lujan in handling this situation.

On the morning of Dec. 27,1992, my daughter and I wart returning from a publta dance. At 1:35 a.m., Travland stopped me for, a uaffle citation of disregarding a stop sign. Travland had

to talk to Travland. I feel that if Lujan had some professional manners while being a

judge, he could have dealt with my situation better. Talking about a person's private matter in a service station, with customers • present, is not acting as a professional Judge, especially after being asked twice for a private conversation. Lujan should have known how to handle this matter - not in front of his customers.

I strongly hope all of you discuss my written complaint among yourselves and do something about the unprofessional actions shown by Travland and Lujan.

I feel this complaint should be proof enough to show their ac­tions. Even though these two individuals are the ones acting un­professional in their appointed jobs, a strong reflection is shown

Editor: I felt so happy after reviewing the December budget report, l-

wanted to share the good news with everyone in Marfa. ^ At the end of Decemberrthe citjrbf Marfa had $33,000 in ac­

counts payable. That is how much we owe, "mas o menos." In the tax collection and general funds were $56,000, more than enough to pay die accounts payable. Another $36,000 was in the sinking fund, money set aside toward the June bond payment. I am told by Estela Madrid, our tax collector, that we are ahead of normal collections. So far SO percent of the $200,000 has been received from our citizens. Estela says the end of January people pay another large portion of their tax bills. I have seen the com­puter bank "reconciliation'' and it agrees, to the penny with the. computer balances.

Cliff.Johnson announced Monday night at the Concerned Citizens meeting, h« had asked the District Attorney Albert Valadez to investigate the city's actions as relate*4 in the 1990/91 audit report by Larry Bryant, CPA.

I am happy he has taken this action. I feel it is good that we have independent reviews of city actions. Between the district attorney's review and the forthcoming audit for fiscal 1991/92 due to be received the end of March this year, I believe we will be able to move ahead into a new administration, following the ~

"Ma7"l^rwtioTvwith confidence that the city finances are OK. I trust the numbers I am seeing. I have investigated budget

reports for the last three months and feel satisfied the budget is ac­curate.. I called the bank last week and verified the major bank balances. u , , , ,„.,, ••••'.

We face a future that is up to us. Do we start new businesses, rely on tourism, search for more retirees, cut back on activities and rely on Fort Davis and Alpine, or some other combination? The city will not be the major problem next year. We, the people of Marfa, must decide what we are going to do with the City. Any thing we ask the city to do costs more in tax dollars. If it can be done by private effort, it is cheaper and done to our personal

I use this as an example, not as my idea of what needs to be done first. As Kennedy said, "Ask not what the nation can do for you, but what you can do for the nation."

Over confidence spells defeat for Marfa in overtime loss MARFA, VAN HORN - A

63-65 single-overtime loss by the Marfa Shorthorns varsity basketball team at the hands of the Van Horn Eagles Thursday in Van Horn forced a three-way tie in District 5-2A play.

Marfa Coach Jack Ruiz said overconfidence on the part of the Horns and in part cold shooting by a key player prompted the defeat.

Rene Nunez, hot all season from all parts of the court, in­cluding the 3-point line, only could muster one 3-pointer on about 14 attempts.

Beto Carrasco and Ben Pineda picked up the slack with 18 and 16 points, respectively.

—The-evenly^matched teams battled to a 10-10 first-period tie, and then Van Horn pulled ahead 23-20 at the half. It was a close third period and Marfa poured it on in the final period to tie things up 61-61 when regular play ended.

The Eagles dutscored Marfa 4 points to two points in OT to take the districfwlhE

All Marfa players contributed to the effort with Michael Meri-doza and Felipe Garcia getting 8 points each. Brad Roberts made 4, Justin Bledsoe 3 and Glenn Mendoza 2. The loss forced a three-way 2-

Lady Lotos lose to HSU

The Sul Ross State University Lady L^bos came out on the, short

jjend of the score in a showdown between the two top teams in the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association Saturday, losing to Hardin-Simmbns University 85-55 jn Abilene.

Both teams were undefeated in TIAA play going into the contest. HSU is now 5-Q in conference action, while the Lady Lobos are

and Anthony while Presidio trails 0-3 in district play.

Marfa went 13-7 on the season after the Van Horn game.

Ruiz said the loss should be an awakening of the Shorthorns "to get us back on track. We need to go all out on every game. No one will lay down for us."

That lesson apparently wasn't heeded as Marfa lost to Alpine 39-45 in non-district action Tuesday as Marfa goes to 13-8 on the season.

The Horns marched out to a 15-13 lead in the first period but trailed 24-26 at the half. The Bucks edged the Horns 37-31 in the third and held on to take the win.

Shorthorn shooting was cool if not cold other than the 12 points by Justin Bledsoe, who fired two 3-pointers and Michael Mendoza with 10 points..

The Horns took a command­ing 9-2 lead in the first period and led 16-9 at the half.

Marfa kept pouring on its of­fense and defense in the second

The Horn defense shut down the Blue Devil's offense in the final period, allowing no points.

8 court backs Bunton inmate's lawsuit on

-iGNMipit* prior rulings to the eootrary,'*• - u « s ? C o a n o f *!>* peels. Fifth Circuit, affirmed Judge Lucius Bunton'i award o f . $ 1 0 , 0 0 0 to a former Brewster County Jail inmate. l ieu! Valencia of Alpine

claimed in the suit that Chief Deputy Gary Wiggins beat him while he was being held on drug charges lodged by Wig­gins.

Although Valencia's injuries were minor, Bunton said they were serious enough to warrant damages - but not the $1.7 mil­lion Valencia sought.

Bunton said actual damages were well below the jurisdic­tional limits of federal court ($10,000), and the case never should have come to trial. • "This is a 'for shame' case," he said, adding that the defen­dants'should have settled with Valencia long before it went thaffar.

Students soon to study at two presidential libraries

Texas soon will be the only state in the Union where stu-dento <^ study at two presiden­tial libraries.

The Lyndon Bairies Johnson Library at UT Austin already a t t r a c t s s c h o l a r s from throughout the world.

N o w T e x a s A&M has reserved a 90-acre complex for the George Bush Presidential Library Center. It will include a library, a museum and a school of government and public ser­vice, plus a center for public leadership studies.

The.$42 million project, to be built with private, university and government funds, is scheduled to open in 1997 or before. •:•-•:--•::•-' t . ^ v • *Den'ison-born Owight D. Eisenhower, first of the three U.S. presidents from Texas, grew up in Abilene, Kansas, and his library is located mere.

former Sheriff George Jones, deputy Pat Henderson, former jailer Ray Itamos and Brewster County were also defendants in the civil rights suit filed in U.S., District Court here* but Bunton dismissed them from the case at the close of the plaintiffs presentation.

Then Brewster County Judge Tom Connor said the Pecos trial probably cost his county $100,000 to legal fees.

Bunton refused to dismiss the case against Wiggins on the ar­gument of attorney Douglas Be­cker, who said Valencia's bruised face and scratched throat do not qualify as serious injuries, as required to prove a civil rights violation. Wiggins left Brewster County

after the July 24, 1987, incident and was operating a security guard company at the time of trial in 1990.

Leavitt said that preliminary reports indicate that semester credit hours are also up for the university but that final figures would not be available until early next week.

This spring is the last semester of the base funding period in Texas. The base funding period began with the first 1992 summer session, and Sul Ross has regis­tered enrollment increases each semester. Texas colleges and uni­versities are funded through a for­mula based on semester credit hours.

justice division, which gets funds from the federal govern­ment, and by matching funds from the six counties, El Paso, Hudspeth, Culberson, Jeff Davis, Presidio and Brewster. Funding in part is based on

the number of cases made, and rural officials say that gives El Paso County's portioirofthe-

task force an unfair funding ad­vantage.

They say El Paso County, which administers the task force, won't distribute about $4 million in assets seized from drug dealers ovei_the years.

Rural officials also have ques­tioned some El Paso task force purchases, including a fleet of motorcycles, which they say aren't undercover vehicles. El Paso County task force of­

10 days earlier this month until they were re-commissioned by the sheriffs. In addition, the way the current task force is set up, counties where a drug ar­rest occurs must foot the bill to house those prisoners, a drain on slim county funds.

Rural county judges and other

officials have been burning up telephone lines with each other in recent week as they discuss how to set up a new task force. But 83rd State Judicial District

Attorney Albert Valadez is working on a new task force plan and grant application, Presidio County Judge Monroe

composed of counties in the 83rd and 112th state judicial districts, which includes Brewster, Jeff Davis, Presidio, Pecos, Reagan, Upton, Crock­ett and Sutton counties, leaving Hudspeth and Culberson coun­ties to fend for themselves. Elms said Valadez' plan

would include funds ior coun­ties to house prisoners arrested by task force agents. The existing task force has

come under fire over the years. In the late 1980s, undercover task force agent Garry Wiggins, rWflckM»tny3i»jt^^.re«^Rr

HIGH COUNTRY REVIEWS

Hill Rat by John L. Jackley Staff review by Wahdley Red / -HiURat has received an unusual amount of national attention for

a first book by^n.unknown author.-The-book focuses on the inner workings of Congressman Ron Coleman's congressional office and staff during the 1980s. Sounds like pretty dry fare, but don't let that fool you. Politics is theatre, and theatre is always interest­ing.

itp&W*&*<toCmi ippraisal'or n^trafeTnsighrg'ivM'onthr" way-congressman function and keep getting reelected is scary and sobering. — —-—

Anyone who has spent much time in high level politics can smell the trtith in a lot of what Jackley says. Better yet, Jackley doesn't sugarcoat his role in furthering Mr. Coleman's career. The cul­ture unique to Washington insiders and Congressional staffers, known as Hill Rats, is laid bare for the reader to examine. This is no "Mary Poppins" tale, be prepared to get an insider's look at

„-hardbalLpolitics, Washington style —-Ihe-author-entwines his personal ethical-odyssey with-the-dayHo-

day operation of a modern member of the U.S. Congress. Mr. Jackley doesn't claim to be innocent bystander in the evolution of Ron Coleman, but an active participant. His efforts to wrestle

"with the power and prestige of a top congressional aide and the deepening realization that things don't seem to be the way the founding fathers intended constitute the essence of his book.

N O T I C E O F REQUEST TO BLEND POWER C O S T RECOVERY FACTORS AND TO RECOVER

DEFERRED COSTS Rio Grande Electric Cooperative, Inc. (RGEC) has filed a Petition to

Blend its Power Cost Recover Factors (PCRF) and to Recover Deferred South Texas Nuclear Power (STP) costs, together with supporting

material, with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC). With regard to the request to blend the PCRF, currently, RGEC has four

power suppliers, West Texas Utilities Company (WTU), Central Power and Light Company (CPL), Medina Electric Cooperative, Inc. (MEC)

and El Paso Electric Company (EPEC). RGEC utilizes three PCRFs for each of these suppliers. Accordingly, those members located in the area

served by a particular supplier incur a PCRF based on that supplier's rates. As a result, members pay different rates under the PCRF

~* depending on their location. The request to blend the PCRF would reduce the present 12 PCRFs to a

single Kwh based PCRF for the GS-1, GS-3 and Lighting classes and blended demand (kW) and energy (kWh) based PCRFs for ail

remaining members. This proposal would create uniform PCRFs, not dependent on the location of the member or the supplier for a particular

area. The blended PCRF would not raise the revenues for RGEC but could result in slightly higher rates for certaincustomers dependiiiirofl" their present location and supplier and slightly lower rates for certain

other customers depending on the same factors. The request to recover deferred STP costs is simply a request to

recover $785,182.55 previously paid to CPL, as a result of a Settlement in FERC Docket No. 86-721-000. RGEC actually paid $809,182.55 to

CPL, but in the Settlement of FERC Docket No. 90-289400, CPL agreed to provide to RGEC a credit of $24,000.00 relating to certain charges concerning the Dabney Metering Point. This credit is being offset against the amount RGEC seeks to recover from its members.

The request seeks to recover the deferred costs through a blended PCRF. If the request is granted, these costs will be recovered through

the PCRF over a 5-year (60-month) period. Accordingly, the total « amount recovered from RGEC members in each month during this period will be $13,086.00.. The average residential customer will see

an additional charge of $0.86 per month. Persons who wish to intervene or otherwise participate in these

proceedings should notify the Public Utility Conunissiot as soon as possible. A request to intervene, participate, or for further information

should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, 7800 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Suite 400 Nora, Austin, texas .78757. Further

innrmatioa may also be obtained by calling the Pubfc Utility Comaiwkn Public Information Division at (512) 458-0223 or (512)
