Advocates say marketing pol lution rights, or "emissions bank ing," would help the environ ment while allowing companies the chance to continue expanding. But some environmentalists are skeptical about the idea. The Texas Air Control Board, which has the power to imple ment such a system on its own, last week took a step toward the plan, said Chairman Kirk Watson. The board agreed to hold public hearings on the idea early next year. "The cleaner the skies and the cleaner the environment, the healthier the economy's going to be," Watson told The Dallas Morning News in Sunday's edi tions. "Then you're going to be able to be more competitive with . . . (areas) that have not been as suc cessful in cleaning up the skies." An advisory committee of busi ness and industry representatives, environmentalists and state offi cials is also looking at other ways to use market incentives to pro tect the environment and the economy. Its report is due in March. The plan was written by the Greater Houston Partnership, whose city has the nation's sec ond-dirtiest air and faces the toughest new clean-air rules in Texas. The air control board has made one significant change at the request of the Sierra Club but has rejected others. Jeffrey D. Cardwell, a 23- year-old senior chemical en gineering major from Victo ria, Texas, died in an auto mobile accident in Angleton, Texas, on Thursday, Augus! 27. Services were held Sat urday, August 29, at Palms Chapel in Angleton Cardwell’s body was cremat ed afterward. State of Texas unveils new abuse agency THE ASSOCIATED PRESS James / pianos fc Trc "We feel that this emissions banking proposal would allow new sources to obtain those (pol lution allowances) more easily," said Rosie Varrera, the Greater Houston Partnership's environ mental director. "The goal is to improve the en vironment and provide room for growth." AUSTIN - The doors this week at the state's newest agency, one designed to protec children, the elderly and disabled from abuse. The Texas Department of Pro tective and Regulatory Service with a $380 million budget, wil draw its nearly 5,600 staff from two other agencies — the Texas Department of Human Services and the Texas Departmentof Mental Health and Mental Retai dation. The Legislature created th agency to bring more impartial to abuse investigations and more vigor to services designed to pro tect vulnerable people. "If we can do anything to pre vent or cut down on the amount of abuse that is occurring to chil dren, elderly, disabled and other vulnerable Texans ... I will con sider that a great accomplish ment," said Camille Miller, PRS' interim executive director. "1 won't consider it a success until we have significantly made an impact." The agency's creation was mandated by a federal court pact that settled a long-running law suit against the state over the care of the mentally retarded. Although the agency isn't offi cially open until Tuesday, Ms Miller and the agency's six-mem ber governing board have been working in the wings. sta Practi revisit HOUSTi State Boarc lie is not t tors, the H | Dr. Rich bara June [ board itsel parent and al and mei | the Chror * ported in right story The 15-i ;board of i Officials want replicas of Columbus' ships to stay in Corpus Christi examir made i medica three c osteop three it the ger lie.

Ann Richards on Monday to ask her help in getting replicas of Christo pher Columbus' ships permanent ly stationed here. The ships, which visited Cor pus Christi for 10 days in March, recently completed their U.S. tour that commemorated the 500th an niversary of Columbus' journey west. Now Spain '92 Foundation, which owns the vessels, is taking bids from cities and corporations that want to permanently host them. The Texas group, headed by former U.S. ambassador to Aus tralia William Crook, says Corpus Christi is among five cities that Spain '92 officials will visit with in the next two months. "We think we're in heavy com petition with New York, Florida and Georgia," said Gary Bushell, president of the Corpus Christi Area Economic Development Corp. "This needs to be not just a Corpus Christi project. This needs to be a statewide project." Crook, who lives in San Marcos but owns a car dealership in Cor pus Christi, requested the meeting with Richards. "The governor's already aware of the possibility of the r.hips coming-to Corpus Christi," he said. "She wants to be helpful She's been interested and respon sive." The Corpus Christi Area Eco nomic Development Corp. recent ly assembled a proposal to bring the ships back to Corpus Christi for its annual Bayfest and for the Festival of the Americas. The ultimate goal would be to permanently homeport the ships in Corpus Christi, according to the proposal. Last year, the Legislature select ed Corpus Christi as the state's of ficial quincentenary city to cele brate the Columbus anniversary. A concurrent resolution passed by both houses and signed by Richards requested that Corpus Christi permanently homeport the Columbus ships. Spain '92 officials say the city that wins its bid to host the ships permanently won't have to buy them, and Corpus Christi authori ties say they have no intention of doing that.
