Deputy Marshal testifies in dog shooting case
□ The law enforcement
officer claims that two
officers bragged of
shooting off parts of a
stray dog.
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) —
A second law enforcement officer
testified Wednesday that two
Bayou Vista police officers
bragged about shooting off parts
of a stray Lhasa apso before
killing the dog last April.
Tiki Island Deputy Marshal
Tony Reid said after he learned
of the incident, he went to a re
mote road and saw the animal’s
carcass.
“The dog was all shot up.
Blood was still fresh and the
dog was dead,” Reid said. He
testified in the third day of the
trial of officers Greg Trantham
and John Overstreet on animal
cruelty charges.
“I was so shocked that the in
cident had taken place, I could
n’t believe what I was seeing,"
said Reid, the former Bayou
Vista police chief. “I was very
upset that night. It literally tore
my stomach up.”
Defense attorneys say Reid
came forward because he has a
personal ax to grind.
Trantham, 27, and Over-
street, 32, did pick up the dog,
but they did not kill it, defense
attorneys contend.

the cadets.
Voelkel said that along with being a fourth gener
ation Aggie, these goals are the reasons he chose to
attend A&M and become a member of the Corps.
“After I started looking into the program,” he
said, “I realized the Corps has one of the largest
and best training programs in the nation.”
Voelkel said his love for the Corps and his in
volvement with many Corps activities are why he
pursued the position of Corps Commander.
“I didn’t aspire to be Corps Commander because
of the position or the rank,” Voelkel said. “My job
as Corps Commander is to make sure the Corps is
achieving goals on a Corpswide level, while instill
ing leadership and esprit de corps.”
Voelkel said that one of his main interests is
bringing the Corps back to the basics of education,
leadership and camaraderie.
“One of the things we tell freshmen during the
freshman orientation week is that the cadets you are
with are inevitably the best friends you’ll ever have,”
he said. “They will be the groomsmen at your wed
ding and the pall bearers at your funeral.”
Voelkel said the future for A&M and the
Corps is positive.
“In the past, the Corps was all that you could do
at one time,” he said. “Now there are allowances
for people to get involved in other activities and
pursue their desires and dreams, as well as being
a good cadet.”
Voelkel said the Corps of Cadets and the gener
al student body are becoming more involved with
each another.
“A good example is Bonfire last year. After it
fell, the student body and the Corps of Cadets had
to join together to get a common goal accom
plished,” he said. “If we continue doing that, our
University can only succeed in the future.”
Voelkel’s own future will be pursuing an Army
contract after graduation. He is still undecided
whether to make the military a career.
“I may go into some type of special forces activi
ty,” he said, “but my goal, since I was a child, is to
fly so aviation is a possibility.”

health care fee survey , the center has the sec
ond lowest health care fee among Southwest
Conference schools.
“The University of Houston’s fee was the low
est, with $20 per student going toward health
care,” he said. “But Houston is also a commuter
school, making its health care needs possibly
lower than A&M’s.”
Dirks said a fee increase would be returned to
the students through more services and programs.
The health center already provides specialty
programs ranging from medical specialists who
see students on certain days of the week to
health education covering sex education issues
and personal fitness.
It is not known at this time if the passage o!
this student referendum would mean a $15 de
crease in the student service fee. However, deci
sions regarding this issue will be discussed fur
ther, Dirks said.
The state legislature is working on a similar bill
to increase the health care ceiling at Texas A&M
If the bill passes, it would go hand in hand with
the student referendum, he said.
