THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 26,1990 THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS 15-A Dr. Ohlendorf named acting superintendent By BEVERLY MILLER The Daily News LEAGUE CITY Clear Creek school trustees Tuesday night named Dr. N.K. "Dutch" Ohien- dorf as interim superintendent of schools. Ohlendorf, formerly deputy superintendent of the Dickinson school district, is currently assistant superintendent for instruction in Clear Creek Independent School District.

He has told the board in writing that he will not be a candidate for the superintendency, said Dr. Margaret Snooks, CCISD school board president. But Ohlendorf said he will serve while the district's search consultant seeks a permanent successor to Dr. Charles Thacker, whose resignation becomes effective at the end of May. "With Dr.

Ohlendorf accepting the interim superintendency, the district will not be without leadership while the search goes on," Snooks said. The board also learned Tuesday night that nine CCISD elementary schools and one intermediate school were recognized by the Texas Education Agency for exceptional achievement on the TEAMS tests. And, they learned that the district elementary schools received a challenge grant with matching funds from the Houston Museum of Fine Arts for a five-year program to establish a permanent resource collection. "We got it because CCISD does not have art teachers in the elementary schools," Snooks said. Another winning report came from Associate Director of Instruction Jess Dorrington, who is resigning at the end of the school year.

Dorrington told trustees that Clear Creek students came away from the Houston Science Fair with 143 awards, making CCISD the top school district in the science fair. Trustees also named two elementary schools for former school superintendents, naming the Pine- Hills area school for the late John Ward, and the South Shore Harbour area school for retired Superintendent Lloyd Ferguson. The school board also changed the name of League City Elementary School to the David L. Gates School, in honor of the man who was superintendent of schools at the time of consolidation of League City schools. In other business, trustees approved summer school programs and set fees for elementary, secondary, bilingual and special education programs, and for the first time, Snooks said, the board included a summer school program in English as a second language.

Anal in final business, trustees affirmed the expulsion of two students. Lemire Continued from 1-A Continued from 1-A Krysta was born April 14. Proud grandparents are Dr. and Mrs. Carlos Bolano of Dickinson.

Continued from 1-A mechanical arm and carefully hoisted the telescope high above the shuttle. Hubble was taken off shuttle electrical power just before it was lifted out of the cargo bay and was operating on its own nickel-hydrogen batteries. "At one day, seven minutes into the flight of Discovery, Hubble is now on its own internal power," Carr said. "The game has begun. The race is on.

The clock is ticking." Worries that the telescope's instruments would be starved for electricity eased after the first solar panel was stretched out. Television cameras aboard Discovery showed the first array as it was pulled from its reel slowly but steadily, the sun reflecting off the gold-colored panel and silvery telescope. Discovery was 380 statute miles above Earth, 70 miles higher than any shuttle has ever flown. The orbit was dictated by the need to put the telescope above the Earth's distorting atmosphere. Discovery's five astronauts were awed by the view.

"I'd like to pass on the quote of the day from the on-board astronomer something to the effect that the big marble sure looks far away today," Shriver said of Hawley. Astronomers have waited seven years for Hubble to take its place in space. The telescope originally was scheduled for launch in 1983, but technical problems and the Challenger explosion pushed it back. The mission was delayed another two weeks when a faulty power unit on Discovery forced the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to halt the first launch attempt four minutes before April 10's scheduled liftoff. On Tuesday, Discovery finally blasted into space, transporting Hubble out of this world and in search of others.

The telescope's 10-foot aperture door is to be opened Friday, exposing the finely polished 94.5-inch mirror to starlight. Discovery was following Hubble in case the door does not open properly. If a problem develops, McCandless and Sullivan will be prepared once again to walk in space. Fred Wojtalik, Hubble project manager, said the telescope would be tested Thursday for its ability to maneuver before the aperture door is opened. "We want to be in full control so we don't ever endanger the Hubble by putting the aperture door close to the sunlight," he said.

Women Say; By JOEL KIRKPATR1CK The Daily News GALVESTON The six stowaways arrested Tuesday in the port's biggest cocaine seizure are scheduled to appear before Judge Charles B. Smith in a preliminary hearing 10 a.m. today at the Federal Building in Galveston. Those arrested are charged with possession and of cocaine and face a minimum mandatory sentence on conviction of 10 years in a federal prison, said Cliff Wolfe, U.S. Customs resident agent in charge.

The suspects arrested after jumping from the Panamanian- flagged banana boat Spring Bride are: Denio Miguel Rengifo-Acosta, 28, of Turbo, Colombia; Alberto Arthur Ortega-Mena, 31, of Turbo; Jose Antonio Torres-Tirado, 36, of Turbo; Eccehomo Velgar-Vivero, 27, of Turbo; Bulices Rivas-Cordova, 36, of Turbo; and Eused Mena- Correa, 16, of Acandi, Colombia. Velgar-Vivero was captured by the Wharves police after he stayed in the water more than three hours and then attempted to run. The three defendants arrested in Galveston near the Seamen's Center at 20th and Mechanic Streets at about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday are: Jorge Arthuro Arboleda, 34, of Houston; Didier Isaac Hernandez, 30; and Rodrigo De Jesus Zapata- Uribe, 46, of Bogata, Colombia. The three defendants arrested in Houston at 1-59 and Hillcroft early Wednesday morning are: Pedro Pablo Celorio-Mosquera, 23, of Houston; Alfonso Bonilla- Riasgo, 29, of Houston; and Wendly Petronio Pieternelle, 33, of Houston.

At the preliminary hearing, U.S. Magistrate Smith will inform the defendants of the charges against them and the consequences of those charges. He will ask them if they can afford a lawyer. If they cannot, he will appoint one for them. Suspects who are foreign nationals will likely be denied bond.

Jackson at 20th and Water streets Three others were arrested at 8:45 p.m. Tuesday near the Seamen's Center at 20th and Mechanic streets, and three more suspects were arrested in Houston at Interstate Highway 59 and Hillcroft early Wednesday morning. Customs agents sought to keep a lid on the case Tuesday while they substituted undercover customs agents for the "mules" that were delivering the cocaine in order to arrest the last two groups of suspects, Wolfe said. In addition to the Customs Service, the U.S.

Coast Guard, the Galveston Police Department, the Galveston County Sheriff's Department's organized crime control unit and the Galveston Wharves Police participated in the law enforcement action. For instance, while customs divers were in the water near the stern of the ship, U.S. Coast Guardsmen were on the beams under the pier, where they seized some vials thrown into the water by the men who jumped from the ship, Lt. Steve Truhlar said. "We established a safety zone around the Spring Bride and we (searched) the area," he said.

Wolfe said officials of Turbana which imports the bananas aboard the vessel, were very cooperative with customs agents. It is believed that neither Turbana officials nor any of the crew aboard the ship had knowledge of the smuggling attempt, he said. Continued from 1-A authors said. "The more independent women of today expect more from men." Those expectations apparently are going unfulfilled. Most women rated men negatively on their egos, libidos and domesticity.

Sizable minorities went further: 42 percent, for instance, called men "basically selfish and self-centered." Prurience took a particular pounding. Fifty-four percent of the women who were surveyed agreed that "most men look at a woman and immediately think how it would be to go to bed with her." In 1970, 41 percent had agreed. The survey, financed by Philip Morris USA in the name of its Virginia Slims cigarettes, was conducted July 22.through Aug. 12 by in-person interviews with a random sample of women across the country. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Respondents overwhelmingly said women have made progress in obtaining job opportunities, equitable salaries and acceptance as political leaders. But they also expressed greater awareness of continuing discrimination. Moreover, six in 10 working women said juggling jobs and families put them under "a lot of stress," and nearly as many felt guilty about time they spend at work and away from their fami- Most men are basically selfish and self-centered.

"A double priority is to have a war on drugs so that the drug dealers will no longer corrupt our children or our society, and to bring the crime rate down," Lemire said. "Last of all, I want to bring back to Galveston its ambitions and its production for our whole society, and to listen to all ideas and to encourage them in our future."

However, a new attraction threatens to run away with the attention of many fairgoers. The racing pigs will motor past a mechanical starting gate and around a miniature track with the reward of an Oreo cookie awaiting them. Another animal attraction that has been a mainstay for years is the petting zoo, which gives children an up-close and personal look at a variety of animals.

She said Texas Copper first wants to go with established and proven technology, but would look for ways to further reduce emissions because it is a good corporate citizen. Finn also suggested that the permit TCC is seeking is only good for five years, and any modifications Buy, Sell, Rent or Swap It With a News Classified Ad Phone 744-SELL Today! necessary could then be forced by Texas Water Commission officials. That way, any cumulative effects on Galveston Bay could be measured more accurately. Tiki Island Mayor Richard Hensley tried get Nath to admit TCC could set up a bench study based on other effluent, even that of Mitsubishi's Canada and Japan plants. But Nath said copper concentrations varied, and the only reliable source to measure would be TCC's actual emissions.

Finn also fired back Wednesday at opposing parties for delaying the hearings in an attempt to drag Texas Copper into giving up on the TWC permit. She accused the four parties of not raising substantial issues, and taking up excess cross examination time because they did a bad job preparing for the hearings. "They did not depose one of our witnesses," Finn said. The hearings, which begin at 9:30 a.m. and are open to the public, continue at Texas City's Nessler Center through Friday.
