Nancy Fisher, commission deputy secretary, said G.A. Acevedo of Santa Fe, N.M., had withdrawn his name from the list of finalists be cause his family wished to remain in New Mexico. Acevedo, 47, has been owner and president of a homebuilding firm in that state since 1977. Fisher said Acevedo was the first person interviewed by the staff, in July, and “he was looking forward to working with us.” Acevedo worked for the Ameri can Totalisator Co. from 1963 to 1977, at race tracks in Arizona, Colo rado, California, New Mexico and Mexico. The company leases and services equipment for pari-mutuel business needs. On Aug. 9, finalist Terence Dun- leavy accepted a position similar to the Texas job with the Wisconsin Racing Commission. Dunleavy, 30, of Palos Park, Ill., had been interim executive director and general coun sel for the Illinois Racing Board Commission. The only remaining finalist is An thony Fasulo, 48, of Deerfield Beach, Fla., 48, but that does not necessarily mean he will get the job, according to Fisher. She said the staff would review the 78 applications for the job, and present more than one name to the racing commission. “I don’t know a solid number — two, three or four — but everyone feels we don’t want to go with one.” Racing commission chairman Hi lary Doran also said the search com mittee “wants to submit more than one name for the executive secretary slot to the commission for their con sideration. “I have assured the commission that additional names will be sub mitted no later than the October for mal meeting for their consider ation,” Doran said. Fasulo has worked for the Florida Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering since 1982 and has been director of operations since 1987. Before that he was an investigator. He also has been a counselor-child abuse specialist in Florida and a fi nancial planner in Arizona. Accord ing to his resume, as director of op erations in Florida he has been responsible for supervision of 33 ari-mutuel facilities, including orse and greyhound tracks and jai alai. The Racing Commission meets next on Sept. 12 to vote on rules for licenses for pari-mutuel racing, as well as proposed rules lor operating a race track. Corporation takes control of prison after lengthy fight PECOS (AP) — Management of a prison owned by Reeves County passed Thursday from the sheriff to a Tennessee-based corporation. Corrections Corporation of America will now run the county’s Law Enforcement Center under terms of a contract approved Mon day by county commissioners. The 532-bed center, which housed 445 federal prisoners on Thursday, had been the object of a three-month power struggle be tween Sheriff Raul Florez and the federal Bureau of Prisons. The Bureau of Prisons sends fed eral prisoners — mostly illegal aliens and people convicted of non-violent crimes — to the county-owned jail. U.S. Marshal’s prisoners awaiting trial in federal courts also stay at the EEC. Because the Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Marshal’s service pay Reeves County to house the prison ers, the detention center is intended to be a revenue-raiser for the county. But in the spring, the Bureau of Prisons stopped sending long-term prisoners and started sending only short-term prisoners to the LEG, cit ing concerns with Florez’ manage ment. The bureau became even more concerned after Florez replied to bureau officials with a letter filled with slang and containing profanity, BOP spokesman Wally Blinde said. “The letter, in tone, complexion and nature of the reply, was totally and wholly unprofessional,” Blinde said after receiving the letter in June. Florez contended that he was sup posed to run the center under state law because it was a legal extension of the County Jail. After the county approved the contract with Nash ville-based CCA, Florez said he had no objections. The Board of Prisons acted quickly after CCA administrator Sandy Estes began managing the prison Thursday, said CCA spokes man Peggy Wilson. The BOP noti fied the facility that it planned to send 50 or 60 more prisoners there by the end of the week, she said. Commissioners selected CCA af ter reviewing proposals from three prison-management companies. Wilson said the EEC’s 100 employ ees will stay on. Under terms of the agreement, CCA will receive a $36,000 monthly management fee and will be re imbursed for operating costs of up to $279,000 a month, County Attor ney Scott Johnson said. The county receives $31 a day for each federal prisoner and $33 a day for each U.S. Marshal’s prisoner. That money goes to pay CCA and what’s left goes into the county’s cof fers. Grocery prices to rise, show drought’s effects From Staff and Wire Reports Brvan-College Station consumers mav find grocery specials hard to come In once the Labor Dav mat ket- ing push is over and prices begin to more c losely reflect the eflec is of the drought, said Dr. Dick Edwards, an agricultural economist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Serv ice at Texas ANM.
