Another finalist
for commission
drops from race
AUSTIN (AP) — Another finalist
for executive secretary of the Texas
Racing Commission has withdrawn,
leaving only one, the commission an
nounced Thursday.
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Santa Fe, N.M., had withdrawn his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.
Although stores will probable still
feature special prices on some items,
the sales should he less frequent and
prices will likely he higher than usual
lor September.
" The drought has had a direc t im
pact on meat, poultry and egg prices
and the late summer produce.” T.d-
wards said.
"It's also caused havoc in loud re
tailing. because marketing programs
which mclune special pricing, pi..-
motions. advertising and coupons
tire planned months in adxanre.
Mane bill promotions wont In-
started because of tmeettainte <>l
