They also applauded the an nouncement of a new nationwide ca ble television channel dedicated to people with disabilities. “America’s Disability Channel is far more than a television network,” said Bill Nichols, America’s Disabil ity Channel president. “It is ... a sym bol of freedom — freedom from dis crimination, freedom from silence, freedom for equal rights,” Hours before the Capitol cele bration by disabled people and their supporters. President Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act in an outdoor ceremony at the White House. “We should now have civil rights equivalent to those rights guar anteed by the 1964 Civil Rights Act to other minority groups,” said Redge Westbrook, legislative chair man of the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities. There are 2.2 million disabled Texans, Westbrook said. There are 43 million people with disabilities in the United States. The Americans with Disabilities Act bars discrimination against the disabled in employment, public ac commodations, transportation and telecommunications. Disabled people also have a new opportunity in television, said Nich ols. America’s Disability Channel will feature programs produced by peo ple with disabilities and organiza tions that work with them, he said. Flower power Photo by Eric H.

County ranks high in AIDS cases AUSTIN (AP) — Travis County has 593 cases of AIDS, ranking it ahead of 20 states, with thousands more county residents in earlier stages of the disease, officials say. As a result, the Austin Travis County HIV Commis sion is urging the city and county governments to al most double their financial commitment to combating the epidemic of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The commission, a coalition of providers of services to people with the disease, asked for $586,225 in a new report to the Austin City Council and the Travis County Commissioners Court. That would be in add: tion to the $620,031 that the city and county havebud geted for the epidemic in the current Fiscal year. "We are at a critical stage,” said Christine Aubret commission chairwoman. “People should start think; of our epidemic in terms of New York and New Jerstv Austin’s incidence rate of AIDS per 100,000 poput- tion is now higher than Los Angeles and, in Texas,: second only to Houston, according to the federalCe: ters for Disease Control. Police raid adult theater during him PHARR (AP) — The adult film “Femmes on Fire” had just begun Thursday afternoon when a raid led by the Texas Attorney General’s of fice managed to close the Texas Theater — at least for the day. It was another in a series of raids over the past year in which state at torneys have helped the city in its battle against sexually-oriented busi nesses. Earlier Thursday, the state be came the new owner of about $75,000 in rubbery sexual devices and videos and magazines with titles like “Nazi Lust.” They were seized in raids last year at the Dolar Video store in Pharr and were finally for feited to the state in a municipal court hearing Thursday morning. A1 Alvarez, an assistant state attor ney general based in McAllen, said the city of Pharr asked the state for assistance in fighting businesses he said violate “community standards” of obscenity. City officials were concerned, Al varez said, about the type of busi nesses moving into the Lower Rio Grande Valley city, apparently be cause of its prominent location at the intersection of U.S. 281 and U.S. 83. Alvarez also succeeded in closing three massage parlors in Pharr ear lier this year, an action he said dis couraged a fourth parlor from opening in the city. One parlor owner pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor of operating the business without a license required under the state Massage Therapists and Establishments Act. Another parlor owner has a trial pending. Alvarez said the state does not normally get involved in fighting sexually-oriented businesses, but is authorized to help cities enforce laws. The state originally became in volved with the Dolar Video store case last year under state consumer protection and food and drug stat utes after learning it was selling ille gal chemicals, known as “poppers,” which are sniffed to produce a brief high. During raids to seize the chemical, isobutyl nitrate, officers observed the magazines, videos and sexual de vices. They obtained warrants to seize them as allegedly obscene. Alvarez said the state probably will burn the magazines and shred the inflatable, life-size dolls, artificial sexual organs and other devices. Officials must use guidelines set by the U.S. Supreme Court that re quire obscenity to be measured by “community standards.” Some of the materials seized in Pharr, might r be considered obscene in larger c: ies, Alvarez said. “In terms of Pharr, and it'sprob; bly representative of the Valley,thil material’s going to be founil obscene,” Alvarez said. Lt. J esse Medina, with the Pharl Police Department, said he askedtk attorney general’s office to get ir volved because his department doc not have enough officers forvi erations. “In fact, I think we’re a smalln: with big city problems,” Medinasaii “The attorney general’s office b taken the bull by the horns ant helped us deal with this problem.” Officers went into the theatt: Thursday afternoon with a warn; to seize two specific items: the" “Femmes on Fire” and a magazinec tied “Deep and Dark.” What’s Up Friday STUDENTS OVER TRADITIONAL AGE: will have dinner club at 6 p.m. at B.B.’s Oriental Restaurant.

Protesters rally against storing, burning wastes NEW BRAUNFELS (AP) — Resi dents and environmentalists had a march and rally protesting the pro posed storage and burning of haz ardous wastes by a cement plant. The protesters said Wednesday they have no guarantees their air, water and health will be protected. Balcones Cement Plant owners said misinformation about transpor tation and emission of wastes has stirred up emotions. Both sides, joined by Texas Water Commission representatives, made statements and answered questions about the proposal at a civic center gathering. A permit to store waste would come from the Water Commission, and to burn it from the Texas Air Control Board. Restaurant Report The restaurants listed below were inspected by the Brazos County Health Department between July 9 and July 13. Information is from a food service es tablishment inspection report. SCORED BETWEEN 95 AND 100: Subway Sandwiches at 601 University Dr. Score — 98. Points were deducted for not supplying hand cleanser. It was a regularly scheduled inspection. La Rancherita at 103 N. Brazos. Score — 96. Points were deducted for unprotected outer open ings. It was a regularly scheduled inspection. 31 Treats at 601 University Dr. Score — 95. Points were deducted for inadequate food protection dur ing storage, hand drying devices not provided and inadequate storage of single-service articles. It was a regularly scheduled inspection. SCORED BETWEEN 90 AND 94: Schlotzsky’s at 100 S. Texas Ave. Score — 93 Points were deducted for unsatisfactory non-food contact surfaces and inadequate restroom and hand washing facilities. It was a regularly scheduled in spection. David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the de partment, said restaurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent operations and facilities. He said restaurants with scores in the 70s or low 80s usually have serious violations in the health report. ; Scores can be misleading, Jefferson said, because restaurants can get the same score by having several | minor violations or a few major violations. He said | the minor violations can be corrected during the in- | spection. Point deductions or violations in the report f range from one point (minor violations) to five i points (major violations). Jefferson said the department might close a res- | taurant if the score is below 60, the personnel have infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks adequate re frigeration, there is a sewage backup in the building or the restaurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipment. The department inspects each restaurant ever) six months. Jefferson said a follow-up inspection is sometimes required if a restaurant has a four- or live-point violation that cannot be corrected during the inspection, or if there are numerous small viola tions. Inspectors at the department are registered sani tarians.
