Candidate for Nye County sheriff Ted Holmes objected to an interview summary of statements he made in regard to detention methods employed by Sheriff Joe Araipo of Maricopa County, Ariz., whom he said he would like to emulate.

Holmes objected specifically to the mention of "chain gang" work details as a component of Araipo's "get tough" methods.

Holmes said he would like to see, instead, "road work crews.

"I stated I would look at and probably incorporate some of his methods and ideas in our jail system here in Nye County," Holmes said. "His methods are a deterrent to criminals to criminals and are constitutionally legal as well as cost-effective."

Holmes also objected to the statement that he works "at the Yucca Mountain Repository project site in security."

In a prepared statement he said, "I do not work for Yucca Mountain nor have I ever worked for Yucca Mountain."
