The College Station Independent
School District last week approved
the construction of a new athletic fa
cility at a cost of $2,778,445.
The district was forced to build
the 5,500-seat stadium after the
Texas A&M athletic department de
cided to stop allowing the high
school use Kyle Field.
Wally Groff, A&M assistant ath
letic director for finance, said the de
cision was made because the high
school games had become too time
consuming for A&M personnel pre
paring and cleaning the stadium.
He said the school district origi
nally had asked to play at Kyle Field
for only one year because of prob
lems with the old high school field.
But that one year stretched to six
years. The school district paid the
costs of using the field.
“Whave nothing but
praise and thanks for A&M
... but we really need our
own place.”
— Ross Rogers,
athletic director
Groff said if the high school’s
games had drawn a bigger crowd,
the department might have consid
ered letting them continue using
Kyle Field. He added that Kyle Field
still would be available for high
school playoff games or for Bryan
High-A&M Consolidated matchups.
Ross Rogers, athletic director at
A&M Consolidated, said last season
the high school games drew between
4,000 and 6,000 fans per game. He
said he is not disappointed at losing
the privilege of playing on the A&M
campus, and is excited about getting
a new stadium.
He said the school originally used
Kyle Field because there were not
enough parking spaces and seats at
the old field, and added that it’s a
positive step for the high school to
get its own field.
“As years rolled on, Texas A&M
has been really nice to us,” Rogers
said, “But we really need our own
place. We have nothing but praise
and thanks for A&M.”

The Brazos Animal Shelter staff is
concerned about the effects of the
| drought and cold weather on live
stock this year. Many pastures have
no grass and hay is not plentiful. Un
dernourished livestock will need
more protection from the cold.
Starving horses already have been
reported, and the harvest of winter
is not yet upon us.
For those who have livestock, sup
plemental feed and extra winter care
are essential. Those who are not able
to properly care for their livestock
are encouraged to contact the Bra
zos Animal Shelter for suggestions
of humane alternatives to allowing
the deterioration and eventual death
of an animal from starvation or cold.
Those who observe an animal
Brazos
Animal Shelter
which is abused or severely ne
glected should contact the appropri
ate authority. In the city limits, ani
mal control officers enforce cruelty
laws and educate the animal owner.
The phone number for Bryan Ani
mal Control is 361-3633; College
Station Animal Control can be
reached at 764-3600.
In Brazos County, outside the city
limits, there are no animal control
officers. The sheriffs department,
Justices of the Peace, and the County
Attorney may all play roles in pro
tecting animals. The Brazos Animal
Shelter staff, while having no en
forcement authority, is still con
cerned about animal welfare and can
provide guidance to concerned citi
zens. The shelter staff can provide
“cruelty information packets” to
those individuals who are interested
in pursuing the seizure of an animal
from its owner in the county. The
shelter staff also helps monitor po
tential animal problems in the
county by keeping a log of cruelty
complaints.
Contact the Brazos Animal Shel
ter at 775-5755 to register animal
abuse or neglect in the county areas.

AUSTIN (AP) — State Treasurer
Ann Richards voiced “serious con
cerns” Wednesday about Gov. Bill
Clements’ proposal to issue $343
million in bonus to build more pris
ons.
Testifying to a House subcommit
tee on prison construction alterna
tives, Richards said lawmakers
should consider numerous alterna
tive programs that would help re
duce the rate of repeat offenders.
“I can’t look the taxpayers of
Texas straight in the eye and tell
them that building more prisons is a
cost-effective corrections strategy,”
said Richards, who is considering a
bid for the Democratic gubernato
rial nomination.
"We cannot build our way out of
this mess,” she said. “We cannot buy
our way out. We are going to have to
think our way out. We have to ask
two important questions about any
corrections strategy or program we
propose: Does it work? How much
does it cost?”
Richards stopped short of directly
1 challenging Clements’ plan to build
11,000 new prison beds by issuing
i bonds.
Asked that question by news re
porters, she replied, “What I wanted
to do today was to tell them that
building these prison beds is a very
costly business.

Crime Stoppers is looking for sus
pects in the assault of an 87-year-old
Bryan woman.
On Dec. 25 at 6:05 p.m., in the
800 block of East 26th Street, two
Hispanic males cut through a screen
door and broke down the front door
of the woman’s home.
Upon entering, the suspects over
powered the victim, knocked her to
the floor, and then stole two purses
and the victim’s keys. The victim suf
fered a broken hip in the attack,
which has left her immobilized.
Investigators said descriptions of
the suspects are sketchy.
The Bryan Police Department
and Crime Stoppers need help in
identifying the persons responsible
for this attack. Persons with infor
mation should call Crime Stoppers
at 775-TIPS.
When called, Crime Stoppers as
signs a special coded number to pro
tect the identity of the caller. If the
call leads to an arrest and grand jury
indictment, Crime Stoppers will pay
up to $1,000.
Crime Stoppers also pays cash for
information on any felony crime or
the location of any wanted fugitive.
FULTON (AP) — A Fulton fish
erman who pleaded guilty to shoot
ing a bottle-nosed dolphin from his
boat last March has lost fishing-for-
profit privileges for the next three
months and must pay a $5,000 fine.
He also received a stern lecture on
conservation.
August J. Mosier, 66, was sen
tenced in federal court Friday to five
years’ probation and a $5,000 fine.
In addition, Mosier was told he
could no longer carry firearms on
his boat, the Danny Boy, and he has
been barred from using the boat to
harvest seafood for 90 days.
Mosier also received a tongue-
lashing from U.S. District Judge
Hayden W. Head Jr., who chastized
the fisherman for killing the 400-
ound mammal with a .22-caliber ri-
e, said Thomas Mason, a special
agent for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, who worked on the case.
“I’d hate to have been on the re
ceiving end of it,” Mason said.
