Reese cleanup may cost up to $100 million
LUBBOCK AP Officials say it will cost as much as 100 million to clean decades of pollution at the now shut down Reese Air Base. The Air Force estimates 10 to 20 million annually for two years and 2 to 3 million each year for 20 to 25 years. Brecheen of the Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority notes noncontaminated areas can be sold once possession is obtained. The worst pollution lies in the tower area where solvents contaminated a three mile groundwater pocket and some private wells. State officials fined Reese for the contamination. Brecheen says funding is not an issue.

Cadet's lawyer moves to dismiss charges in dorm throat slashing
Rudy X. Rodriguez seeks dismissal of attempted murder charges against 17 year old Jeremiah Jensen at the Marine Military Academy, alleging prosecutors used an unauthorized polygraph. He claims the test was given without his permission and explains the hearing was set for 10 a.m. The case also involves 17 year old Christopher Boze, accused of slashing Gabriel Cortez in a dorm room on Oct. 6. Cortez required 28 stitches and identifies the assailants as Jensen and Boze. Bond for Boze stands at $100,000. Jensen is Vancouver, Washington, bound. Prosecutors dispute the polygraph allegation and say they will rebut it at the hearing.
