Bryan police adds
4 motorcycle units
V SANT<
BY CARRIE BENNETT

The Bryan Police Department added four motorcycle units to the po
lice force hoping to reduce accidents at intersections and alleviate in
creased traffic congestion, Lee Freeman, Bryan police chief, said.
Freeman said the officers will patrol high-accident locations including
intersections where motorists frequently drive through red lights.
Joe Brown, public information officer for the city of Bryan, said the
motorcycle officers were needed to step up the enforcement of speed con
trol at intersections.
“This addition to the police department is necessary since intersection
collision fatalities rank in number only behind fatalities resulting from
drunk driving accidents,” Brown said. “We have a lot of people run red
lights, and it’s ludicrous to do so when the longest cycle a light runs is
75 seconds.”
Brown said motorcycles are more effective in situations involving in
tersections because they are easier to conceal than cars.
Brown said motorcycle officers will also look for motorists driving
without seat belts.
“An officer on a motorcycle can sit on the side of the street and sim
ply look down a row of cars to find people who aren’t wearing their seat
belt,” he said.
Scott McCullom, a lieutenant for the College Station Police Depart
ment, said the College Station department started motorcycle patrol in
1989 with three officers and cycles. He said there are now five officers

NEW YORK (AP) — They were born
to the same woman on the same day,
loved and cared for in the same way,
and raised as brothers.
But the 3-month-old boys are not re
lated. One is black, one is white. They
ended up in the same womb apparent
ly due to a doctor’s mistake.
Now the only mother the boys have
ever known says she will return the
child who does not share her DNA —
the black child — to his genetic parents.
“We’re giving him up because we
love him,’’ Donna Fasano said in a
handwritten statement supplied by her
lawyer Thesday.
“Both of these boys are beautiful —
two precious, normal little boys,’’ said
her lawyer, Ivan Tantleff. “They sit in
the swing together. They sit in the tub
together. ... We’re going to try to
arrange some kind of visitation rights so
the boys grow up to know that they are
brothers.’’
Rudolph Silas, lawyer for the black
couple, Deborah Perry-Rogers, a nurse,
and Robert Rogers, a teacher, from Tea-
neck, N.J., said they are amenable to
visitation. “It’s in the children’s best in
terest,” he said.
Silas said the Rogerses will likely get
custody in a few weeks, after DNA tests
and legal papers are completed.
“My clients are both ecstatic,” Silas
which it’s been brought to this point.
But they’re happy she made the deci
sion she’s made.”
He added: “We would have wished
to have been a lot more involved earli
er. But we appreciate the stress she was
under.”
The case began April 24, 1998, when
Fasano and Perry-Rogers underwent
embryo implantations in the Manhattan
offices of Dr. Lillian Nash. Only Fasano
became pregnant.
Nash later advised Fasano she might
have mistakenly received someone
else’s embryo.
Fasano sought DNA testing from an
other doctor and learned, while the ba
bies were still in utero, that one was not
hers.
She did not know the other parents’
identity until the Rogerses sued the
Fasanos and Nash March 16.
“This wasn’t my doing,” Fasano said
in her statement. “People with infertil
ity problems should be able to go to
their doctors and trust them to do the
right thing.
“To them it may be a job; to me it’s
my life. ... (Nash) may have given me
two beautiful babies, but she destroyed
their lives.”
