Candidates ignore
environmental issues
DALLAS (AP) — In a time of oil
spills, endangered rain forests,
soiled beaches and smog, some envi
ronmental groups say the environ
ment is not getting much attention
in the Texas gubernatorial race.
Only three of the seven major gu
bernatorial hopefuls, Democrats Jim
Mattox and Ann Richards and Re
publican Tom Luce, have issued for
mal environmental platforms.
“The environment is one area
where our public officials are lag
ging way behind the voters,” said
Austin environmental lawyer Stuart
Henry, a campaign adviser to Mat
tox, the state attorney general.
“The defining issue of Texas poli
tics in the ’90s will be the environ
ment,” said Austin editor Harvey
Kronberg in his political newsletter.
Quorum Report.
The next governor will face a set
of environmental problems. Does
Texas need new water sources? Is
the state protecting its air, water and
critical wildlife habitats? Are state
enforcement agencies just paper ti
gers?
Perhaps toughest of all, what will
Texas do with the 65 million tons of
hazardous waste it generates each
year and with its dozens of toxic
dumps?
Republican front-runner Clayton
Williams is the only Republican who
rejects tax breaks for industries that
reduce their hazardous waste pro
duction.
His primary opponents — Kent
Hance, Jack Rains and Tom Luce —
contend such breaks are needed to
encourage businesses to reduce pol
lution.
Williams, a Midland businessman,
also said he wants state vehicles to
use natural gas, which is cleaner
than gasoline.
On other environmental topics,
Hance, who is chairman of the Rail
road Commission, has called for bet
ter oil-spill preparedness. He also
said the state should buy environ
mentally sensitive land only “on a
case-by-case basis.”
Luce, a Dallas lawyer, has pro
posed using state prisoners to work
at recycling centers and having the
state pay half the salaries of local po
lice assigned to investigate environ
mental crimes.
He also wants a stronger Texas
Clean Air Act and preservation of
wetlands.
Rains, a Houston businessman
and former Texas secretary of state,
said he would push for a bill to re
quire deposits on bottles to encour
age returns and to cut landfill waste.
He also supports developing more
reservoirs.
As for the Democrats, Richards,
the state treasurer, is a recycling sup
porter who favors tighter restric
tions on urban and rural pollution.
She advocates protecting the Gulf
of Mexico, including a formal coastal
zone management plan, and safe
guarding natural habitats in state
parks.
She said she would establish an
environmental clearinghouse in the
governor’s office that she said would
streamline the permit process and
might lead to the creation of a cen
tral environmental agency.
Mattox’s top proposal is to create
a central agency that he said would
expedite the licensing procedure for
businesses and improve enforce
ment.
Mattox said he would push for im
proved treatment of sewage, a big
pollution source. He also favors
river protection and buying land for
parks, especially near big cities.

Fire burns
2,500 acres
of grassland
LUFKIN (AP) — A grass fire
was burning 2,500 acres of pri
vate ranches and federal grass
lands in North Texas Monday,
the United States Forest Service
said.
The cause of the fire was un
known, but it started about 1 p.m.
in Wise County, about 60 miles
northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth,
said Carl Gidlund, public affairs
officer for National Forest and
Grasslands in Texas.
He said the fire had spread to
500 acres of the Lyndon B. John
son Grasslands and to about
2,000 acres of private land. No
property damage has been re
ported.
“We have about 12 people on
the fire, several volunteer fire de
partments on the scene, and the
Forest Service has two tractors on
the fire,” Gidlund said. The
Texas grasslands office is based
in Lufkin.
Four pumpers were on the way
from East Texas and were ex
pected by midnight, Gidlund
said. They were coming from the
Angelina and Davy Crockett na
tional forests.
Gidlund said gusty winds Mon
day helped spread the quickly
growing blaze.
There are 19 grasslands in the
United States, with three in
Texas. The grasslands were es
tablished in the 1930s as land rec
lamation projects after the De
pression-era dust bowl, Gidlund
said.
The federal government ac
quired the grasslands and has
been managing them ever since.
The three in Texas are the LBJ
and Caddo grasslands in north
and northeast Texas, and the
Black Kettle Grassland in far
West Texas.
Police search of bowling alley
yields no new clues in murders
Students mourn classmates killed in shooting
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Police finished their
search for evidence Monday in the bowling alley where
seven people were shot, including four children, while
school teachers began comforting the distraught class
mates of three victims.
The orange traffic cones that had been set up Satur
day after two men robbed Las Cruces Bowl of about
$5,000 and then shot all witnesses, killing four, were re
moved by mid-morning. A janitorial crew was called in
to help clean up the charred, bloody office where the
shootings occurred and where the killers set a fire.
And the bowling alley marquee now asks passersby to
pray for the victims.
Police Capt. Fred Rubio, exasperated by the national
media attention, said there still were no prime suspects
Monday.
“We received hundreds of calls again this morning
and we’re checking them all out,” Rubio said. “I’m
keeping up with the tips myself.”
Detectives who followed leads in other cities were
back in Las Cruces and investigators were sifting
through evidence gathered at the scene, he said.
Police were using a national law enforcement net
work to find two men they say walked into the bowling
lanes early Saturday, herded seven people, including
four children, into the office in the front of the build
ing, made them lie on the floor and shot them in the
backs of their heads.
A 12-year-old girl wounded in the shooting called
police after the gunmen fled.
Steve Teran, 26, daughter Valerie Teran, 2, step
daughter Paula Holguin, 6, and Amy Houser, 13, were
killed.
Police declined to identify the wounded, saying the
surviving victims were terrified because the killers re
mained on the loose. However, the Las Cruces Sun-
News identified them in Monday afternoon’s edition as
Stephanie Senac, the 34-year-old daughter of Las
Cruces Bowl owner Ronald Senac; Melissa Senac, his
12-year-old granddaughter; and the bowling alley’s
cook, Ida Hidalgo, 30, who was in the kitchen when the
robbers entered.
All three were listed in serious condition Monday at
Memorial General Hospital.
Officials at University Hills Elementary, where Paula
Holguin had been enrolled, and Lynn Middle School,
where Amy Houser and Melissa Senac attended classes,
tried to help students understand the tragedy.
“I have lots of wet eyes this morning, especially at the
eighth grade level,” said Dorris Hamilton, principal of
Lynn Middle School.
Amy Houser was an eighth-grader who worked part-
time at the bowling alley. Melissa Senac is in sixth grade.
Tearful students walked the halls and tried to com
fort one another Monday.
Vince Rivera, University Hills principal, said it was
not easy deciding what to tell the younger children.
“A lot of the kids aren’t going to know or they’ve got
all kinds of weird conceptions of what’s happening,”
said Rivera.
Even if the pupils are told what happened, he said,
most are too young to comprehend.
“You’re thrusting something at them that they really
don’t understand,” said Rivera. “ They see it on TV ...
We received hundreds of calls again
this morning and we’re checking them all
out. I’m keeping up with the tips myself.”

police captain
and that’s fantasy, but this is reality. How can they un
derstand that?”
A school district counselor was asked to speak to Pau
la’s class, but counseling was not being offered school
wide.
Hamilton prepared instructions for teachers on how
to deal with grieving students. Five desks with note
books where students could write their thoughts or con
dolences to the family were set up around the school.
The writings were to be given to the family.
A funeral Mass is scheduled for Tuesday at 10 a.m. at
the cathedral. Burial will follow at Masonic Cemetery.
A rosary will be said for the Teran family Tuesday at
7:30 p.m. at Our Lady of Fatima in Bayard, and a Mass
will be conducted there Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Burial with full military honors for Teran is sched
uled at Memory Lane Cemetery after the Mass on
Wednesday.Teran was a first lieutenant in the Army
National Guard.
