By then, a new 48,000 square-foot outpatient facility is scheduled to be opened, offering medical, surgical, psychiatric and dental services on a first-come, first-served basis at re duced cost. The $4 million clinic, to be oper ated by the Olin Teague Veterans’ Center in Temple, was being ded icated Monday. Construction began in May. Officials said that only about 14,000 of the Austin-area veterans are military retirees and therefore eligible to use health services at Bergstrom Air Force Base. “This clinic has been needed for many years,” said E.A. Borrell, di rector of the Teague Center. Tubularman by Boomer Cardinale ’ UMAT IS lT,uMDe?

Officials end hearings for racing track bids Nerd House by Tom A. Madisoi AUSTIN (AP) — An administra tive hearing wrapped up Monday into applications for a Galveston County dog racing track, considered by many to be one of the potentially most lucrative in the nation. Hearing examiner Dudley Mc- Calla said track applicants will have to wait another week before state of ficials decide how to proceed from this point. On Monday, Nov. 5, the Texas Racing Commission will consider whether to have McCalla recom mend a winner, or have him compile the record of the hearing for the commissioners to decide without a recommendation. Either method probably means the winning application will be cho sen Nov. 29 or mid-December, rac ing officials said. On Monday, the Texas Depart ment of Public Safety submitted its investigative reports, saying that be cause of time constraints it was im possible to assure that monies in vested in each of the proposals were obtained legally. But DPS Cmdr. Joe Murphy said, “We found no indica tions that would indicate otherwise.” Last year, the Racing Commission awarded the pari-mutuel wagering license to Lone Star Greyhound Park. But the losing applicants won an appeal of that decision in court and had the case sent back to the commission. Lone Star claims they won the li cense and that the current proceed ing is illegal. They are an applicant, but are not participating in the hear- ing. New applicants include Bay Grey hound Racing Association, which wants to build the track in Galves ton; Gulf Greyhound Partners and Galveston Bay Greyhound Park are proposing a La Marque site. The earlier battle over the license was marked by controversy when an employee of Lone Star allegedly placed a dead bird on an opponent’s proposed site to make it appear the area was the nesting ground for the rare Attwater’s prarie chicken.
