Appointee’s switch
to GOP angers White
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Gov. Mark White is
trying to kill the appointment of a
state commission member who —un
known to White — jumped to the
Republican Party several days before
the Democratic governor an
nounced the selection.
White* last Thursday named W.
Dwain Read of Conroe to the 12-
member State Commission on Judi
cial Conduct. On Feb. 3, Read
switched to the GOP and entered the
race for Montgomery County judge.
Now White’s staff says Read is in
eligible for the job because of a
“conflict of interests” with his judi
cial candidacy.
Janis Monger of White’s press of
fice said, “He will be told he has to
withdraw (from the appointed post)
or not run forjudge.”
Read, president of Read Chevro
let in Groesbeck, said he plans to do
neither until he checks with his law
yer.
“I’m not county judge yet. After
I’m elected, I might could under
stand having to step down,” Read
said.
“This is definitely a case of politics
here,” he said. “The Democratic
governor did not know I had filed as
a Republican candidate for county
judge. He was upset and some of the
Democratic officials in Montgomery
County were upset.”
Read said his signed oath of office
arrived in the Secretary of State’s of
fice Tuesday, but Dwayne Holman,
White’s appointments aide, told him
it would not be accepted.
Read said, “I’m qualified and will
ing to serve on the commission. I as
sume he appointed me based on my
reputation and integrity and qualifi
cations. I can only assume that be
cause I’m now a Republican he feels
I’m not qualified.”
Aid for disabled children
facing Gramm-Rudman cut
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Witnesses told a state
Senate committee Tuesday the
Gramm-Rudman Act could reduce
by millions of dollars the money
available for taking care of crippled
children in Texas.
Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Aus-
tin, asked witnesses before the Sen
ate Committee on Health and Hu
man Resources about the impact of
the new law, which requires a bal
anced federal budget by 1991.
The committee focused Tuesday
on health services for crippled chil
dren.
Dr. Robert MacLean, state deputy
health commissioner, estimated that
Gramm-Rudman could reduce
crippled children’s funds received
by the health department by $3.8
million in the 1987 fiscal year.
He said the department now re
ceives $20 million a year.
Ken Crow of the Texas Education
Agency said that although the TEA
doesn’t have clear figures, the loss of
federal funds in 1987 could range
from $3.8 million to $25 million.
Ilene Cray of the Texas Rehabili
tation Commission said, “We’re
keeping our fingers crossed, but
we’re looking at perhaps a 2 percent
decrease in federal funds.”
She said the commission estimates
that for every dollar spent on reha
bilitation, $13 is put back into the
economy.
Another witness, Dr. Earl Brewer,
director of the Pediatric Rheumato
logy Center at Texas Children’s
Hospital, said he supported team
health care for chronically ill chil
dren.
Brewer and Dr. Doman Keele,
professor of clinical pediatrics at the
Southwestern Medical School in Dal
las, agreed that some form of “case
management” is needed for crippled
and chronically ill children.
Both also agreed that the logical
case manager would be the local pe
diatrician, who has training as a spe
cialist and also knows the child and
family better.
“Parents often become confused,”
Keele said. “The pediatrician is in a
logical position to sort out their prio
rities for them and coordinate the
care.”
Search for girl yields
few clues, police say
Associated Press
DALLAS — Despite more than 30
tips, new information was scarce re
garding the disappearance of a Dal
las girl, 9, for whom there is a $5,000
reward, investigators said Tuesday.
Christie Diane Proctor disap
peared at about 6 p.m. Saturday as
she returned to her family’s apart
ment, police said.
Her friend said that halfway to
Christie’s home, as the girls parted,
she saw a man in a white van “who
kept on staring at me. . . . He had
part of a beard, part of a mustache
and a mole.” 1
Police and FBI agents were check
ing a possible link between Christie’s
disappearance and the brief abduc
tion of another young girl from the
same elementary school last week.
A police report said the girl, 10,
who was kidnapped earlier, was re
leased from a white van.
Investigators said the search has
turned up only one clue: a white box
of Valentine cards Christie was car
rying, found a block from her home.
Former principal declares innocence at trial
Associated Press
LIVINGSTON — Former junior
high school principal Hurley Fonte
not denied Tuesday that he had any
thing to do with the slaying of a ju
nior high school football coach who
planned to marry the school secre
tary.
“I did not kill Billy Mac Fleming,
and I have no idea who did,” Fonte
not said immediately upon taking
the witness stand.
Fontenot, 48, former principal of
Hull-Daisetta Woodson Junior High
School, is accused of fatally shooting
Fleming twice in the back of the
head on April 12. The coach’s body
was found 10 days later.
Prosecutors have argued that
Fontenot and Fleming were rivals
for the affections of Laura Nugent,
36, school secretary.
But Fontenot said he thought
Fleming was an outstanding coach,
loved by students, and a person who
did an excellent job as a teacher.
“I was thoroughly pleased with
Bill’s performance,” he said. “I liked
Billy Fleming.”
Fontenot also denied Nugent
caused the breakup of his marriage.
Mrs. Fontenot, who testified ear
lier, said she did not see her husband
from early morning of April 12 until
the morning of April 14 because he
told her he went to a horse track in
Louisiana and she was attending
classed at Prairie View A&M Univer
sity as a weekend student.
“Laura and A had an employee-
employer relationship until my di
vorce,” Fontenot said.
Fontenot said he was concerned,
but not upset, when he learned Nu
gent and Fleming were dating.
“Laura had experienced two mar
riages that did not work out,” the
former principal said. “I wanted the
best for her. I was concerned she
find someone she could be happy
with.”
Fontenot said he talked with
Fleming, 36, about his relationship
with Nugent.
“His exact words were that he
thought he had finally found the
person who could make him happy
for the rest of his life,” Fontenot
said.
But Fontenot said he warned Nu
gent and Fleming that their
relationship would be the cause of
gossip in the rural East Texas area.
“In a rural town . . . gossip is more
sacred than the Bible,” Fontenot
said.

Chiropractor
STOMACH TROUBLE
Because of the stomach’s central location in the body, it is richly supplied by the
body’s nervous system. Since all stomach functions are controlled by nerve impulses, it
can be deducted then, that the stomach can function no better then the nerve impulses it
receives. When “stomach trouble”, a vague term characterized by a variety of symptoms,
is present, the reason may be that the nerve impulse supply to it, or to a functionally-re
lated area, has been blocked. Such interference usually occurs in the spine from which
nerve trunks flow. In cases like these, a chiropractor may be able to help without resort
ing to drugs, antacid or syrups.
Please do not ignore the early warning signs: Headache, stiffness in neck/back, painful
joints, leg/arm pain, numbness, back/neck pain, shoulder pain, numbness in hands/feet.
Early treatment of these signs will minimize your need for additional follow-up visits.
Complimentary consultation <md spinal evaluation will be given thru the end of the
month. Previous patients of chiropractic who feel the necessity for “only” a spinal adjust
ment are welcome.
Should you feel a need for an appointment please call 696-2100.
Hint: Chiropractic practices can be found in every state, and in many other countries.
