A word of advice
if you are thinking
of opting for the
latest trend in
health care
delivery:
Don’t.
At least, not before you carefully weigh all the
pros and cons of joining a clinic-based Health
Maintenance Organization.
In return for the single premium advantage a
clinic-based HMO offers, you will be required
to accept some significant restrictions. Your
access to all physicians in the community will
be significantly restricted. Your choice of hos
pitals will be limited to those participating in
the plan. Psychiatric benefits are very limited,
and dental coverage is excluded entirely.
Before you decide to abandon your proven
medical insurance, be sure you know all the
facts.

New member
of PUC vows
to be unbiased
setting
AUSTIN (AP) — A rancher’s
daughter billed as a woman who can
ride and rope promised Wednesday
to be a straight-shooter
Texans’ utility rates.
Marta Greytok, former mayor of
the small Harris County city of Tay
lor Lake Village, took the oath of of
fice Wednesday from Secretary of
State Jack Rains. Greytok, a Gov. Bill
Clements appointee, replaced Peggy
Rosson on three-member panel that
sets electric and telephone rates.
“I come to the Puolic Utility Com
mission as a representative of the
grassroots Texas,” Greytok said. “I
have no ax to grind.
“I have no preconceived notions
about the commission or any of its
activities.
“I have no secret agenda. I have
no set advocacy either for one side
or the other.”
In replacing Rosson, Greytok
takes over for a commissioner who
frequently sided with consumers in
rate fights with utility companies.
“I pledge to shoot straignt and call
them as I see them,” Greytok said.
Rains said he has known Greytok
for many years and has been im
pressed with her “low tolerance for
nonsense.” He said the new commis
sioner is a “rancher’s daughter who
can ride and rope with the best of
them.”
Greytok grew up in South Texas.
She said her training as a surgical
nurse in Houston has proven inval
uable to her.
“I worked under Dr. Michael De
Bakey and I don’t think there’s any
one in this room who does not un
derstand his pursuit of excellence,”
she said. “It’s impossible to serve
with him without it having a major
influence on the way you perceive
life.”
Greytok also served as chairman
of the Harris County Appraisal
Board. She pledged to always main
tain an open ear for Texans’ ideas
on utility matters.
“The more input you have from
the citizens, the better the govern
ment is going to be,” she said. “It is
extremely important to that process.
In that spirit today I want to indicate
that we will have a Marta Greytok
open-door policy at the PUC. I want
to hear from the citizens of Texas.”
Greytok joins Chairman Dennis
Thomas and Commissioner Jo
Campbell on the commission.
Thomas and Campbell were ap
pointed by Gov. Mark White, Clem
ents’ Democratic predecessor.

Officer uses airplane to help capture fleeing suspect
TULIA (AP) — A reserve po
liceman used his single-engine air
plane to help nab a man fleeing po
lice in a sports car allegedly taken
from a car lot, authorities said
Wednesday.
After officers from the Depart
ment of Public Safety, Swisher
County and Tulia police chased the
Datsun 280-Z reported as stolen for
about 25 miles Tuesday, Jim L. Cox
used his Cessna 172 to stop the car
just outside Palo Duro Canyon.
Cox stopped the car, which police
said reached speeds as high as 140
mph, when his landing gear snagged
its roof, Slaton Police Chief Barbara
Fowler said.
The Datsun was stolen about 1:30
p.m. Tuesday from the Ford dealer
ship in the town southeast of Lub
bock, Fowler said.
A DPS trooper spotted the car
going through Tulia, more than 60
miles to the north, about 5 p.m. as it
ran two red lights.
Cox, who is also manager of the
city’s airport, said he heard the pur
suit on a police radio at the airport
and decided his help was needed.
Arrested in connection with the
incident were David S. Scott, 17, of
Indianapolis, Ind., and Michael L.
Miller, 22, of Lore City, Ohio.
Justice of the Peace Earl Cox of
Tulia set bonds Wednesda'
$15,000 on Scott and $5,0
Miller. Scott was charged withfe
counts of aggravated assault«
peace officer and unauthorizfii
of a motor vehicle. Miller 1
charged with unauthorized use
motor vehicle.
Scott and Miller remained in
Swisher County Jail Wedns
night.
