Main Bryan, Tx. 179t7/28 Company head warped by Scott McCulla seeks to build new paper mill SOUTH PADRE ISLAND (AP) — High-quality paper can be pro duced from a bamboo-like plant that grows as tall as 15 feet in four months, the chairman of a Califor nia firm hoping to build a paper mill in South Texas said Tuesday. “The agricultural community has been very responsive,” said J.K. “Jerry” Stanners, chairman of KE- NAF International, a company named after the prolific kenaf plant of the Hibiscus cannabinus family. Stanners announced at the Texas Daily Newspaper Association’s sum mer meeting that his firm has agreed to form a joint venture with Montreal-based Canadian Interna tional Paper to develop kenaf for use in the manufacture of paper and pa per-related products. “The initial objective of this new venture is to complete the project economics, marketing and engi neering to implement a three-year plan to construct a pulp and paper mill in South Texas,” he said. “If we started today, we could be produc ing by late 1990.” The company has studied differ ent varieties of kenaf since 1981 in cooperation with Rio Farms, a non profit agricultural research organi zation in Monte Alto. It is looking at Willacy County as the site of a planned 37,000-acre production area where it would build a paper mill and buy the crop from farmers. The 37,000-acre ke naf area would be larger than the amount of citrus planted in the Rio Grande Valley, which totals 30,400 acres. Cotton and grain sorghum crops in the four-county Valley area an nually average about 300,000 acres each, according to the Valley Cham ber of Commerce. The mill would have a capacity of 215,000 tons of newsprint per year, said Stanners, who estimated that the United States uses 12.5 million tons of newsprint annually. He said tne mill and harvesting operations would employ 400 to 500 people in Willacy County, which has an unemployment rate of nearly 19 percent. Stanners conceded that early ex periments with kenaf newsprint pro duced low-quality paper, but he said his company has developed im proved production methods in re cent years. Financing remains an obstacle, however, and Stanners said more than $200 million is needed to get the operation going. It also must obtain 1 1 different environmental permits, although he said that “if sugar cane can be grown to meet all the standards, then we certainly should be allowed to. Man ordered to take test for AIDS virus What’s up HOUSTON (AP) — A judge or dered a parolee accused of sexually assaulting two teen-aged hoys at knifepoint to take a blood test to de termine if he has been exposed to the deadly disease AIDS. State District Judge Patricia Lykos ordered Clarence Shelvin, 26, on Monday to take a blood test for AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. “It would certainly be of interest to anyone who has had recent sexual contact with the defendant that they may obtain treatment and take ap propriate caution regarding their own behavior in the future,” Lykos said. Police have said although they have no reason to believe the man has been exposed to AIDS, or ac- a uired immune deficiency syn- rome, they asked for the test as a precaution for the boys, aged 15 and 17. Prosecutor Lee Coffee said the test would also ease fears of inmates and employees at the Harris County Jail, where Shelvin is being held. Prosecutors said the order is the first of its kind in Harris County, and a spokesman for the Attorney General’s office said it was believed to be the first time in Texas a suspect in a criminal case has been ordered to take a test for AIDS.

John Paul Bamich, an attorney for the AIDS Foundation in Hous ton, criticized the ruling, saying that whether Shelvin tests positive or negative, the victims will still have to be monitored for months because it can take six months or more for AIDS antibodies to show up in a per son’s bloodstream. HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Four state prison guards who were spattered with blood and urine of an inmate afflicted with AIDS had been warned that the man had an infec tious disease, officials said. Three guards at the Beto I Unit in Anderson County got blood on them June 23 while wrestling a razor blade away from an inmate who was trying to slash his wrist, according to prison reports. The 19-year-old inmate, who is serving a life sentence for a Dallas County aggravated sexual assault, was put in restraints. Two of the three guards had breaks in the skin on their hands and could possibly contract the disease, said Jerry Taylor, a representative of the Texas State Employees Unions. In a second incident on June 26, the same inmate threw urine on the legs of a fourth guard, Taylor told the Houston Chronicle. The names of the guards and inmate were not released. None of the guards have tested positive for exposure to the l rus, he said. Officials havesaklil take six months or more AIDS antibodies show up in a son’s bloodstream. A preliminary investigi* showed that the guards were ml that the inmate had an infedf disease, but Taylor said the sf were not told that the disease| AIDS.

Dr. Russel J. Reiter, professor of neuroendocrinology at the Univer sity of Texas Health Science Center, says exposure to the sun is good for everyone. “Sunlight is very good for us, but we have misused it,” he says. “Der matologists are opposed to sunbath ing, but it’s the American way. It’s something we re going to do. ” Reiter is an internationally known expert on the pineal gland, which produces the hormone melatonin in the brain. The hormone is formed mostly during darkness, and too much of it can lead to depression, Reiter says. The answer, he suggests, is more exposure to sunlight or, in the work place, better and more abundant lighting. “Certainly sunlight justifiably has gotten a bad rap in terms of its ef fects on skin cancer,” Reiter says. “Positively, however, sunlight gener ally seems to improve mood, sexual performance, possibly, and general attitudes.” More than 500,000 people each year are diagnosed as having skin cancer and about 7,800 die annually and should help increase productiv ity, he says. Most offices and recreation facili ties now use cool, white fluorescent bulbs, but Reiter predicts that within 20 years light bulbs giving off sun light-like illumination will be more Reiter says dairy cattle in- Nortli were the subject of ones* on pineal glands and product Generally, milk production creases during the winter mow but when lights in the bam» turned on at night, the cows duced more milk, the study show “Certainly sunlight justifiably has gotten a bad rap in terms of its effects on skin cancer. Positively, however, sunlight generally seems to improve mood, sexual per formance, possibly, and general attitudes. ” — Dr. Russel J. Reiter from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. Reiter says, however, that people can reap the benefits of the sun with out being exposed to it. “You can wear a long-sleeve shirt,” he says. “You can wear a hat and keep it off your face, go for a noon walk and get its physiological effects.” In the workplace, more lighting can combat the depressive problem common. “Studies are being done to show that individuals who have windows to the outside in their offices seem to make fewer mistakes,” he says. “They seem to perform better. “Light can be used as a drug in va rious types of depression. What is more convenient and what is more non-invasive than light? You don’t have to take anything internally.” Biologists once thought the fil gland was an inoperative ra according to Reiter. Through l on animals and humans duriin! past 20 years, however, reseanf have come to realize the glands portance. The pineal gland is connecWl the eyes and the sunlight it red inhibits the production of nidi nin, the professor says. During winter months, when skies are gray, some people aj dieted with “seasonal affective der,” a depressive, lethargic tion caused by too much melat Reiter says. “There are people in this "1 who take light and darkness granted, he says. “It’s not imnxu It impacts all aspects of our life.

On Monday, prices for West Texas Interme diate crude closed at $22.20 a barrel. Prices for the U.S. benchmark crossed the $22-per-barrel mark last week for the first time in 18 months. “Technically, if there is a threat of interrup tion of supply (from the Persian Gulf), there really isn’t a top to the market,” said A1 Ballard, manager of the Houston office of Broder Oil Fu tures. About 8 percent of the non-Communist world’s supplies are shipped through the Persian Gulf, with most of the oil going to Japan and Western Europe. Because of fears of Iranian attacks, the U.S. plans to fly Kuwaiti tankers under U.S. flags and offer them military protection. While analysts generally agree future prices will depend largely on how high hostilities esca late in the Gulf, they vary in their assessment. Most agree Persian Gulf tensions have added $2 to $4 to futures prices of West Texas Interme diate crude, the U.S. benchmark. The premium reflects fear and uncertainty over whether oil can continue to he transported safely through the constricted waterway, and some analysts say a disruption of Persian Gulf supplies would cause the price of oil to shoot up sharply. Aivars Krasts, vice president of planning and analysis for Conoco Inc. in Houston, said, “You are looking at something like double the current price if there is all-out war. It all will depend on the length of it, the extent of it and how much oil gets out anyway.” Krasts says he doesn’t anticipate a complete shutoff of Persian Gulf oil to world markets be cause Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have access to land-based pipelines that could carry some oil currently shipped from the area by tanker. “(But) the alternative routes are not invulnera ble,” Krasts said. “If they (the Iranians) become determined to disrupt supplies, there is a lot more they can do.” Tony Lentini, spokesman for Mitchell Energy 8c Development C«Tp. in Houston, says a disrup tion of supplies from the Persian Gull cou m oil prices up to $55 to $60 per barrel. But Dale Steffes, founder of Houston Planning 8c Forecasting Consultants, says present Persian Gulf uncertainties are unli raise oil prices much from what he feels art currently overvalued levels. “It could go to $25 on a temporary basis); think it w ill fall to the $18 to $20 range,”Si(j said. He predicted the Saudis would boost the*! ume before allowing the price to reach $25. “The thing they don’t want to see is exp!' tion start up,” Steffes said. OPEC’s benchmark price for oil has been* $ 18, a level that largely discouraged explors by non-OPEC producers. Steffes says a sustained $22-per-barrelp could cause the number of active drillingnj 1 the United States to rise to 1,000 by Sept. The Baker Hughes rig count, a watched index of U.S. drilling activity, sioft 891 as of July 13, up roughly 34 percent low of 663 in July 1986. The rig count read? zenith of 4,530 in 1981.
