State targets
minority groups
in smoking
campaign
DALLAS (AP) — The Texas De
partment of Health is hoping to be
one of 20 applicants approved for a
nationwide program aimed at reduc
ing smoking among ethnic minori
ties, women and young people.
The American Stop Smoking In
tervention Study for Cancer Preven
tion, or ASSIST, wants to reduce
smoking by 43 percent in seven
years. It is co-sponsored by the Na
tional Cancer Institute and Ameri
can Cancer Society.
“This is a great opportunity for all
of us who have recognized what a
tremendous problem smoking is, but
who haven’t had the resources to
really attack it,” said state Health De
partment spokesman Ron Todd,
coordinator for the Office of Smok
ing and Health. “This would provide
the funding, staff and materials used
to address the smoking problem
comprehensively.”
The Health Department is target
ing Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and
San Antonio. If selected, the state
will receive a National Cancer Insti
tute grant to cover all expenses,
Todd said.
it
Fhere’s children who
grow up and the only
messages they see day
after day are billboards that
show smoking as
glamorous and associated
with success and good
living, and that’s really not
the case at all.”

Senate approves reform bill
House researches ways to finance education
An ASSIST program goal is to re-
f" -
duce the number of smokers from
27 percent to 15 percent of the pop
ulation by the year 2000, said Joe
Patterson, director of Government
Relations and Special Projects for
the American Cancer Society.
Participants for ASSIST will be
announced in June 1991, Patterson
said.
Todd estimates that there are
16,697 smoking-related deaths in
Texas each year, about 14 percent of
all deaths, at a cost to taxpayers of
$3.3 billion each year.
Black men die from smoking
more than any other group. Eighty-
nine of every 100,000 black men will
die from respiratory cancers and
295 per 100,000 of heart disease,
Todd said.
That compares to 58 deaths from
respiratory cancers and 234 deaths
from heart disease per 100,000
white men, Todd said.
AUSTIN (AP) — School finance battle lines were
drawn Tuesday, when the Texas Senate again ap
proved its $1.2 billion reform bill and Gov. Bill Clem
ents proposed a no-new-taxes plan for next school year
that carves $269.5 million from other parts of the state
budget.
In the House, leaders met privately to write a $450
million bill and began the search for ways to fund it, on
the second day of a second special session on court-or
dered school finance reform.
Mike Toomey, Clements’ chief of staff, said the gov
ernor would sign into law an education funding plan
that shifts money from such areas as the Parks and
Wildlife Department and the Capitol restoration pro
ject and increases fees paid to the state for information
on a driver’s record.
Up to another $172 million could be gained by tem
porarily reducing the state’s contribution to the Tea
cher Retirement System, Toomey told House budget
writers, although the governor’s office is not proposing
that idea. He said the system is so overfunded that re
tirement benefits could be increased simultaneously
with the reduction.
Clements was critical of the Senate’s bill, which is the
same measure senators passed in the 30-day special ses
sion that ended last Wednesday.
“They’re posturing, and that’s all they’re doing,” he
said. “They know that the House will never agree to
that, and I won’t either.”
But Sen. Carl Parker, bill sponsor and Senate Educa
tion Committee chairman, said, “It’s a matter .of us
doing what we thought ought to be done, and
what $ 1.2 billion represents.
“I for one think that he (Clements) ought to have
opportunity to show his commitment against decem
ucation by vetoing a decent bill,” said Parker, D-l
Arthur.
Other lawmakers expressed concern that puttins
little state money into school finance reform could it
increases in local property taxes. The $13.5
year finance system, whicn was ruled unconstitul
by the Texas Supreme Court, relies on state aid,
property taxes and some federal funds.
The court, which found disparities in funding;
able to property-rich and -poor districts, gave law
ers until May 1 to change the system.
Parker’s measure also had its critics in the 31-i
her Senate, including Sen. Bill Ratliff, R-MountPle<
ant. Ratliff unsuccessfully tried to amend the measu
including an attempt to trim its cost to $650 milli
next school year.
“What we’re doing is playing a legislative game
chicken. We ought to send something over there

Man shares sailing adventure with students!
AUSTIN (AP) — William Pinkney has a
dream. Part of it is to become the first African-
American man on a solo voyage to sail around
the world via the five great capes.
The other part is to teach minority youngsters
that even if others discourage them, they can
achieve their goals by working hard and making
sacrifices.
The 54-year-old Chicagoan shared his dream
recently with students in the Austin Independent
School District, including those at Pearce Middle
School.
“Does any one of you have a gbal?” he asked
the Pearce teen-agers. Few raised their hands.
“Every goal requires you put something into it.
The only free thing you get is your name. For
your goal to work, you have to study and sacrifice
the time and effort.”
Pinkney, who was an X-ray technician in the
Navy for eight years and has 20 years sailing ex
perience, has spent the past five years laying
plans to circumnavigate the globe.
He lacked the $350,000 needed to finance the
voyage. But he didn’t lack determination. So he
a
Every goal requires you put
something into it. The only free thing
you get is your name. For your goal
to work, you have to study and
sacrifice the time and effort.”
William Pinkney,
voyager
spent countless hours knocking on doors,™
to find corporations to sponsor his ll-monii
odyssey.
He plans to set sail in June from New Yorll
City’s South Street Seaport on a 47-foot cutiti
which will be outfitted with the latest technolop
including a computer tracking system and I
VCR. When Pinkney noted the boat also has as;-
phisticated, built-in stereo system with 250tapti
— his only entertainment onboard — it brougfc
ooohs and aahs from the students.
The boat also will be outfitted with marineri
dio equipment donated by Motorola Inc., whict
sponsored his Austin trip.
Pinkney, who is visiting schools throughom
the country to talk about his upcoming voyage,
will sail to Brazil, then pass through Cape Horn
off South America, then to New Zealand anil
Tasmania, where he plans to stop.
