Clements says
Texas will win
super collider
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clements
says he is confident Texas will win the
national competition for the $4.5 billion
superconducting super collider.
While declining to offer many specif
ics, Clements said Thursday that the
state’s proposal and the bipartisan efforts
of its congressional delegaton were big
factors in his belief.
“I can only say that I am very confi
dent that we in Texas will get the super
collider,” Clements said. “I don’t want
to go beyond that at this point, but I feel
real good about it.”
The super collider, which is a 52-mile-
long underground atom-smasher, is de
signed to be used in high-energy physics
research.
Experts have predicted that the col
lider would bring 2,000 or more jobs and
billions of dollars to the state where it is
located.
Texas has proposed a site south of
Dallas, near Waxahachie, for the re
search facility.
According to U. S. Energy Department
officials, Texas is one of seven states in
the running for the collider.
Criminal
ostracized
by family
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Michael Lee
Lockhart, convicted of killing a Beau
mont police officer, dreamed of becom
ing one of New York’s finest, but his
older brothers mocked him and called
him a “sissy,” relatives, testified Thurs
day.
Lockhart, 28, convicted earlier this
year in the slaying of patrolman Paul
Hulsey Jr. 29, is in court for the sentenc
ing phase of his trial. He faces life in
prison or the death penalty for the slay
ing.
He has been linked to other slayings in
Indiana and Florida.
Lockhart’s sister Sheila, 25, said that
her brother was a dreamer.
“His biggest dream was to become a
New York City police officer. The other
dream was to become a fireman, go to
Hollywood or become a comedian,” she
testified.
Lockhart, the second youngest of 10
children of Noble and Becky Lockhart of
Walbridge, Ohio, tried to compete with
his older, more athletic brothers but al
ways failed, his sisters testified.
His oldest sister Judy Georgeson, 40,
of Northwood, Ohio, said she always
told Lockhart never to be too optimistic
about his abilities.
“He wanted to make it real big,”
Georgeson said. “He set his goals too
high. I told him not to set them so high,
that if he wouldn’t meet them, he would
destroy himself. But he wanted to prove
to his family that he could do things that
they didn’t think he could.”
The others are Illinois, Michigan,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Arizona and
Colorado.
Clements said both Texas Democrats
and Republicans have been involved and
concentrated their efforts in trying to win
the project.
“Our Texas (congressional) delegate
has just been superb,” he said. “It’s been
totally united. Speaker (Jim) Wright has
worked hard on it. I’ve worked hard on
it. Everybody’s worked hard on it.”
Nelson upset
by refusal
for security
AUSTIN (AP) — Willie Nelson says
he’s “very disappointed” that the Austin
Police Association has refused to provide
off-duty security for a benefit concert
he’s giving next month.
Helping Our Brother Out, or HOBO,
an organization planning the Nov. 11
concert at Palmer Auditorium in Austin,
lined up Ranger Security after police as
sociation members voted not to provide
security, said Marion Morris of HOBO.
Police officers protested Nelson’s par
ticipation in a concert last year to raise
legal defense money for American In
dian activist Leonard Peltier, who is
serving two life sentences for the 1975
murder of two FBI agents.
HOBO on Wednesday received a do
nation of $10,000 from Provident Devel
opment Co. of Austin for concert ex
penses.
HOBO is a non-profit organization,
supported by churches and businesses,
that works to improve the plight of Aus
tin’s homeless. The group has placed six
families in mobile homes, Morris said.
Members of the police association
voted unanimously Oct. 6 not to work
off-duty security for the concert, said Lt.
Dell Shaw, president of the association.
He said, however, the association sup
ports HOBO’s efforts 100 percent.
But he said Peltier “killed a police of
ficer, and somebody that supports some
one Who killed a police officer, we can’t
support.”
Peltier’s defenders contend he did not
get a fair trial and was framed because of
his leadership in the American Indian
Movement.
Nelson, in a phone interview with the
Austin American-Statesman, said he was
very disappointed in the police associa
tion decision. He performed at the Peltier
benefit “not to get this man out of prison
but to get money for lawyers’ ’ who could
bring to light withheld information about
the case, he said.
“I don’t support cop killers,” Nelson
said. “I don’t support Indian killers. I
don’t support any kind of killers. I just
believe this particular issue of Leonard
Peltier, there’s more than meets the
eye.”
Cyclist’s family
awarded $280,000
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The family
of an elderly man, killed when his bicy
cle struck a pothole, has been awarded
nearly $280,000 by a jury that said the
victim was equally responsible for his
own death.
Felipe Rangel, 77, died when he
struck a pothole while cycling in the dark
on June 19, 1986, on his way to buy a
morning newspaper.
His bicycle struck the pothole. He
flipped, struck the pavement and died
two months later from his injuries.
His survivors sued the city, claiming
street workers were negligent in not re
pairing the damage at the comer of a
southside street.
The jury found Wednesday that the
city was 50 percent responsible for the
accident because city employees knew or
should have known of the pothole.
The jury found damages totaled
$556,132, but the amount actually
awarded was half of that because Rangel
was found to be 50 percent negligent for
his own death.
The jury gave awarded $278,066 to
Rangel’s widow, Emilia, 73, and his
youngest daughter, Candelaria “Candy”
Rangel Romo, 34.
The award was for medical and fune
ral expenses and suffering endured by
Rangel before he died and the loss of
companionship and mental anguish suf
fered by his widow and youngest daugh
ter, the jury found.
“I feel my father was not at fault at
all,” Romo said. “If he had known of
the pothole, he’d still be alive.”
Six other children also named as plain
tiffs in the lawsuit were awarded noth
ing.
The family’s attorney, Janice Malo
ney, said they would not appeal the deci
sion, which was rendered after a four-
day trial.
Ex-Miss San Antonio
overpowers
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A former
Miss San Antonio admits she shouldn’t
have walked into her home when she no
ticed the door was ajar. But Sylvia Fer
nandez Barton said her recent physical
conditioning enabled her to fight off a
knife-wielding would-be rapist.
“I just overpowered him, he was ex
hausted,” Barton said after the attack
Wednesday.
Barton. 36. who was crowned Miss
San Antonio in 1974 and finished as
third runner-up in the Miss Texas Pag
eant, told police she struck the man over
the head with a coffee cup and wrestled
and attempted to reason with the man for
15 minutes before he fled.
attacker
The man had threatened to kill her un
less she agreed to submit, she said.
Barton, the mother of two daughters,
ages 6 and 9, said she had returned home
after taking the girls to school when she
noticed the front door of her home,
which she had locked, was ajar.
“If something isn’t right when you get
home, just don’t walk into the house,”
Barton told the San Antonio Express-
News in looking back on the incident.
The man grabbed her as she walked
into a bedroom, she said.
“He grabbed me from behind and I
had a coffee cup in my hand and I hit him
on the head and it broke and we started to
wrestle,” she recalled.
