A brutal attack that left 17-year-old An-
drew Soto of Brady with a slashed throat has
local law enforcement investigators building
a case against the suspect, 19-year-old An-
thony Bone, also of Brady, for what could be
charges for attempted murder.
Brady law enforcement dispatchers re-
ceived a call early Monday morning reporting
an individual walking down the lake road that
"appeared to have something wrong with him "
Shortly after that phone call, dispatch re
ceived a call from the emergency room at the
Heart of Texas Memorial Hospital stating that
they had a patient who had what appeared to
be a knife cut to the throat.
Soto, soaked from head to toe in blood,
apparently was walking toward the hospital

Brady airport manager
surprised by state honor
□ Joe Mosier recipient
of coveted TxDOT award
Brady airport manager Joe Mosier went to last week's
TxDOT Aviation Conference thinking it would be the same
old annual meeting. What he didn't bet on was being named as
the airport manager of the year for the entire state by the Texas
Department of Transportation Aviation Division
Mosier, airport manger for Curtis Field Airport, was awarded
the 2001 General Aviation Airport Manager of the Year by
TxDOT.

the runway, taxiway, aircraft parking apron and the installa
tion of jet fuel facilities. Precision Approach Path Indicators
were also installed, which enhanced the safety of the traveling
public into the airport.
Through Mosier’s direction, the airport secured a contract
to serve as the location for monthly training operations for
military helicopters It resulted in the construction of four new
helipads and a flight facility He also promoted agricultural
operations in the area by providing additional space for agri-
cultural aircraft and is developing a financing plan to construct
added space for these aircraft.
Mosier has participated in TxDOT’s airport-maintenance
program to fund the'reconstruction of the airport’s entrance
road and customer parking He is also using funding from the
program for future airport improvements such as new utilities
and an airport hangar that will be used to house Texas Aerocolor,
an airplane painting business that recently relocated to Brady

having logged more than 33,000 flight hours, his aviation
experience includes flight instructor, fixed based operator

White Complex when a passerby stopped and
gave him a ride to the hospital
Conscious, coherent and barely able to
speak, Soto reportedly walked into the ER
under his own strength where he received
treatment for a knife cut to the throat After
being stabilized in the ER, he was flown by
helicopter to Columbia Medical Center in San
Angelo where he remains in serious condi-
tion
While in the Brady emergency room, Soto
was able to communicate to officers who he
claims to have attacked him with sketchy
details about the location where the attack
occurred. Through some cross checking of
details and possible scenarios, the location of
the ranch was found and checked on a hunch
Preliminary investigations state the that
the attack occurred around 10 p m. Sunday

Monday morning
Bone, out of jail on bond for a sexual
assault indictment that was handed down on
Nov. 9, 2000, is the prime suspect in the case
Local law enforcement officers contacted the
district attorney and had his bond revoked

Bone was taken into custody •

"We have been treating this as a murder
case just as if we had no witnesses," Sheriff
Earl Howell told the Brady Standard Herald
early Tuesday morning (today). "The only
difference is we have a victim idenjified the
suspect and is able to testify "
Officers spent most of the day Monday

linking Bone to the scene. According to
Howell, the sheriff's office has evidence link-
ing him to the scene and further and more
conclusive evidence should be forthcoming

Allergies causing noses
to twitch this spring
Bv ANANDA HOWELL
If springtime makes you as drowsy
as the "Cowardly Lion" running
through a field of poppies, you’re not
alone Approximately 50 million
Americans have allergies, which is
the body’s reaction to a substance it
perceives as foreign
In addition to drowsiness, symp
toms of spring allergies are itchy,
watery eyes, a stuffy, runny nose and
a cough.
Airborne allergies are the most
common allergies, and can be sea-
sonal or year round They result from
an immediate or delayed reaction to
airborne allergens such as pollen,
mold, dust mites or animal allergens.
Perhaps the best known and most
common airborne allergy is hay fever
(ir allergic rhinitis), which is usually
seasonal and affects at least one in 10
of all Americans. Millions of others
suffer from allergies to cockroaches,
dust mites, mold and pets.
"Since all the grass, trees and flow-
ers have started blooming, we re see-
ing a lot of congestion and runny
noses associated with allergies,” said
City Drug pharmacist Joe King

"Folks taking over-the-counter

contents so that they don't duplicate

too much Tylenol which if used ex

damage
"Be sure and read and follow the
- directions explicitly and don’t overdo
