Council votes down wave pool
by Bonnie Langford
Battalion Reporter
There will be no waves in the
future of Southwood Athletie
Park. In a 5-2 deeision, the Col
lege Station City Council voted
against the addition of the prop
osed wave pool in favor of a stan
dard swimming pool during their
regular meeting last night.
Residents protesting the pool,
which simulates the waves on a
beach, were joined by rural resi
dents protesting annexation and
the City Hall convention room
was filled.
The pool, which was originally
proposed as a family-type recrea
tion facility, drew many negative
responses from the residents of
Southwood Valley. They spoke
against the safety and traffics
hazards they felt the pool would
create.
“I’m not against the pool’s
shape,” Pete Normand, a resident
of the area, said. “The large shape
and access for small children and
handicapped people appeals to
me. It’s just the waves that con
cern me.”
Debbie Ross, a mother of two
children, said she had been to Wa
ter World with her children and
felt that the pool could only be
used by children older than ten.
The wave pool would not accom
modate younger children which
live in the neighborhood.
In other council business, a
public hearing was held for the
annexation of 3,800 acreas on the
city’s southern limits located along
State Highway 6 and Rock Prairie
Road.
Residents protesting the anne
xation, said they would lose all of
the benefits of rural living and gain
nothing but taxes in return.
“Tve got electricity, water and
sewers, Arthur Olden, a resident
of the area said. “I’ve even got a
fire truck in my yard. I don’t see
that you offer me a thing.”
City Planner Al Mayo said that
the area should be annexed be
cause the southern limits are the
only place the city can grow. He
said new rural residents will add to
the already burdened school dis
trict and they will use facilities like
hospitals and libraries withou
contributing any taxes to pay for it.
The council will take no action
on the annexation until Oct. 13
Judge hands down stiff penalty
Federal prosecutor gets 10 years
United Press International
ATLANTA — A former federal
prosecutor was sentenced to 10
years in prison and fined $5,000
Thursday for trying to sell drug
/
suspects government files on a
multi-state narcotics case.
U.S. District Judge William C.
O’Kelley imposed half the max
imum sentence on Frank Robin
Jr. of Houston, who was convicted
Aug. 10 of soliciting a $200,000
bribe for a look at the govern
ment’s files.
The 31-year-old Robin told
FLU STUDY
FOLLOW UP
If you were in the flu vaccine study last year, we
would like to follow you through the upcoming
F a season to see how long your protection lasts.
Please call Dr. John Quarles
at 845-3678 or
845-1358
and leave your current
mailing address and telephone number.
O’Kelley that “this incident, this
tragic verdict, closes a chapter in
my life.” In a faltering voice he
added, “I suppose all I can say to
your honor is that I need to put the
pieces back together. I will put the
pieces back together with the help
of my family. ”
O’Kelley, known for stiff.sen
tencing of public officials, im
posed a 10-year sentence on Robin
for soliciting a bribe. He gave him
another five years for obstruction
of justice, but suspended that in
favor of a $5,000 fine. Robin could
have received a total of 20 years on
the two convictions.
Assistant Attorney General
Reid Weingarten of the Depart
ment of Justice Public Integrity
Division in Washington, un
moved by Robin’s halting plea, re
minded O’Kelley of “the unbe
lievable nature of this crime. The
judge himself noted that drug in
formers might have been killed if
Robin had succeeded in selling
secret investigative files to smug
gling suspects.
"It is simply unthinkable that a
Justice Department attorney goes
bad the way Frank Robin went
bad,” said Weingarten.
“It is not an overstatement to
say that this case sent shock waves
through the Department of Jus
tice,” he said. “It is not an over
statement to say that if this was
war, what Frank Robin did would
be treason — and what we re
doing with drugs is a war, when
you consider the way these big
dealers have perverted the
system.”
O’Kelley gave Robin 30 days to
put his personal affairs in order
before reporting to the U.S. mar
shal in Houston. He also recom
mended Robin be disbarred in
Texas.
ApGl£ r'INF.VjA
The judge did not agree to de
fense attorney Eugene Medori’s
request for an indeterminant sent
ence, which would have made
Robin eligible for parole without
serving one-third of his time.
O’Kelley said he doubted Robin
would be considered for release
very soon in his sentence.
