Escobar shooting busts out truck window

SUSPECT IN FATAL SHOOTING ARRESTEDOfelia Garcia Hunter

Alice Echo-News Journal

A gang-related shoot-ing Sunday on the 300 block Nayer Street result-ed in four people dead, Police Chief Daniel Bueno said.

This is the sixth, sev-enth, eighth and ninth killing of the year. The gangs involved include La Raza Unida and the Latin Kings, police said.

"It's one of those things where we've seen an in-crease (in gangs)," Bueno said.

The deceased are 28-year-old Juan Miguel Benavides, Dagoberto Baize, 25, Issac Vela, 18 and Omar Beltran, 30, who died later Sunday during surgery at a Cor-pus Christi hospital.

Andrew Garcia was ar-rested Monday and trans-ported to the Jim Wells county jail and charged with murder of Benavides and Baize. Beltran's death was caused by the impact after the car they were in hit the side of a school building.

Alice firefighters used the jaws of life to extract some of the bodies in the vehicle, Bueno said.

Benavides left behind three children ages, 4, 2 and five months, family members said.

"We don't have noth-ing, we were called this morning," said Benavides' mother, Sylvia Rivera. "They don't know if he

was shot or because of the car accident."

Police said Vela was shot in the face on Nayer Street and Garcia shot back killing Benavides and Baize, police said.

The Ford Escape the three were in sped off in high rate of speed, north on Wright Street, struck-ing the school. The small SUV driven by Baize, crashed to the side of St. Joseph school grounds plowing down the side fence.

Police said Tuesday, Garcia was at the resi-dence where Vela was shot. He was arrested on Escobar Street where an-other shooting took place about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Garcia is affiliated with the Latin Kings.

Several casings and shot gun shells have been recovered along with .40 and .45 guns. Bueno said a rifle is still missing. He said they don't have a mo-tive yet.

Another passenger in the vehicle, Daniel Roble-do, is in critical condition. Autopsies at the Corpus Christi Medical Exam-iner's office is still in the process.

Bueno said with the recent arrests, he will con-tinue to protect the com-munity.

“I can assure the com-munity and the citizens, Alice is a safe place,” Bue-no said.

Bueno said more ar-rests are pending awaiting warrants.

Capt. Ray Escamilla guards Escobar Street as security was in-creased after a truck was shot at with some individuals inside.

Claudia Garcia [email protected]

The entire block of Esco-bar Street, between Carver and Martin Luther King Jr. streets, was under heavy guard by law enforcement Tuesday afternoon.

A red pick-up truck, carrying four individuals, was shot at causing dam-age to the rear passenger window; no one was in-jured. Alice Police Daniel Bueno said this was part of a retaliation of the shoot-ing that occurred over the weekend resulting in a car crash into St. Joseph School and killing three people. Three were killed from gunshot wounds and the fourth was killed from the impact of the crash.

“The Alice Police De-partment has been work-ing diligently on this case,” Bueno said. “Other arrests will follow as this investi-gation continues. We are working hard on these in-dividuals cases and mak-ing sure these individuals are apprehended before this week's over.”

Both shootings are part of a gang war between the Latin Kings and La Raza

Unida. Bueno said the feud between both gangs has been going on for some time.

After the shooting of the pick-up, the four men ran inside a residence on the 100 block of Escobar. Officials arrived on scene and apprehended and de-tained the four individu-als, one being Andrew Garcia who police said was involved in the Sun-day shooting that killed Juan Benavides and Dago-berto Baiza.

Three were arrested on scene for other charges. Two were arrested for possession of cocaine and another was found with a handgun. Garcia was later charged with the murder of the two individuals that died Sunday night.

“We were able to ex-ecute a search warrant at that location and we were able to find him there,” Bueno said.

Police during the same time, were called to sever-al areas including Garza, fifth and Adams and West Front street where reports of shots fired were report-ed.

Tenacious Tori - Looking forward to moving out of alice

Debbie Gonzalez Chapa- "Time to step it up APD & City of Alice! Take some action to protect the inno-cent that could get caught

in the crossfire!!!"

Samuel Villa -Its a sad turn of events when we are getting the wrong kind of attention. I live two hours away and do not hide my pride in my hometown. However, these kinds of situations are making it hard to admit Im from Alice. I would tell these losers, if you want to shoot guns...here's a ticket to Afganistan

Amanda Gonzalez - People need to come together and protest in front of the police dept. Maybe then more ACTION will be done to fight this Gang & Drug violence.....

Lydia N Anisa -Situations like this are making me want to leave this town ... I don't want my daughter growing up here where people are being shot at in broad daylight I would not live with myself if I caused her harm by remaining in this town where there is no consideration of people, their families, and their belong-ings -anisa

Josh Gina Mapes -feels like you cant even sit out on the porch without worrying about getting shot. its unfair for a community to be this shaken up and afraid to the point where we dont even want to leave the safety of our own home. pretty soon i am sure they will steal that little bit of a sense of security away from us too. so wish it was possible to just pick up and leave.

Priscilla Castillo -sad thing about the whole situation

is nothing is begin enforced, words can mean a little or alot,im from alice , but chose not to go and make a liv-ing there because i feel its not safe for my kids,these punks need a job or get a life,enough said.

Samuel Villa -I, for one, don't think its the fault of the PD. They can only enforce the law, not prevent it. The Dist. Attorney (don't get me started on that) needs to make the consequences tough enough to send a mes-sage to the offenders. Forget this plea bargin stuff.

Brunilda Salinas Perez -So sad that there is so much violence in the city i grew up in. Alice used to be a friendly place to live in back in the 50's & 60's when i lived there, now all we here is how bad crime is there. Thank God I moved from there many years ago.

Stacy Carbajal -This is ridiculous! Maybe the people in charge of this city should stop putting money into a 12 million dollar pool and make sure our city is safe first. I've got my children on the floor scared half to death because we don't know if someone will try and shoot up our neighborhood. But hey the pool will have a lot of cool stuff around it too! So I guess that makes things better.

Vanessa Gonzalez -"These people need to get

a life and get a real job."

Mariah Rodriguez -Get these people off the streets whatever happened to laws it seems ppl in this town are running free with no fear of consequences. Why are these people armed. I'm sure these people have enough reason to be behind bars do it no bonds until court hearing and punishment is set. Obviously these people could care less gang violence is out of hand and I'm sure with these past deaths things will just be getting worse. This town needs something to do other then get-ting mixed up with the wrong crowd having sex doing drugs underage drinking. Alice needs to step it up

because we're obviously in the middle of something more dangerous then we thought

Pam Olivares - "Unless the entire com-

munity comes together to work on this, nothing is going to change. Don't give

Alice up to the gangs! So much can still be done to help the community, but you need to work at it..."

Georgette Hasette Garza -I have to say on behalf of the APD they have been on watch, I count them passing in front of my house 7 times in 1 hour span,I live on ecobar st. so they are doing their job. They can only do so much.

Brunilda Salinas Perez - Where can anyone find a safe place? crime is very bad everywhere.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Hurricane prep for livestockAlice Echo-News JournalEstablished 1894 We are in the middle of Hurricane Season and those

of us with livestock should pause and reflect to see if we are prepared, should we be visited by a Hurricane this year. In an effort to help develop a check list I de-veloped a one page publication entitled “Preparing Livestock for Hurricanes.” Here are some general tips : - make sure all animals have current immunizations and horses have a current coggins test. Be sure to keep the records with you; identify your livestock, a perma-nent hot iron or freeze brand on cattle and horses registered with the county clerk; Horses can also be identified with microchips or tattoos; other op-tions include; taking a picture of our animal with family member in the photo as proof of ownership; purchas-ing fetlock ID bands for horses and place them on both front feet; using small animal trimmers and clip the owner’s phone number on necks of horses; bottom line one needs to plan ahead so when the big event comes you and your livestock are prepared. Drought-killed trees could become liability issues for landowners

A tree that falls in a field or pasture may not make a sound, but what about the tree that falls on your neigh-bor’s house? The sound it makes? Cha-ching.

Texas Forest Service is encouraging homeowners and landowners to remove fire- and drought-killed trees that are within falling distance of neighboring homes, roads and pathways. Failure to do so, agency officials say, could make you liable for damages.

“Be aware that your tree could fall onto someone else’s property,” Texas Forest Service Central Texas Op-erations Department Head Jim Rooni said. “The rules vary from place to place, but generally the owner of the tree is responsible. Bottom line: You could be liable.”

Rooni said foresters received an influx of calls fol-lowing the deadly wildfire that ripped through Bastrop last September, destroying roughly 1.5 million trees. But the liability issue isn’t limited to trees killed by fire, he said.

Texas is emerging from one of the most devastating droughts and one of the most unprecedented wild-fire seasons in state history. Though there is no official count for the total number of trees killed by wildfire, foresters and analysts have estimated that as many as 500 million trees in rural forested areas and another 5.6 million trees in populated urban areas were killed as a result of the 2011 drought.

The sheer volume of dead trees — especially those standing in populated areas — poses a significant haz-ard, Rooni said. “Standing, dead trees are dangerous and unpredictable,” Rooni said. “If they fall, they can cause serious damage — and even death.”

If your tree still has yet to sprout green leaves, forest-ry experts say it’s most likely dead. If you’re not sure, read the Texas Forest Service tree assessment guide, check out their facebook photo album to see examples of trees in varying states or contact a certified arborist.

If you have questions regarding liability on public land or rights of way, contact your local county sheriff’s department or county commissioner’s office. For ques-tions regarding liability issues on private property, seek counsel from a reputable legal source.

At 4:30 a.m. Friday morning, I heard my phone send a message. Since I don’t sleep well anyway, I took a peek. There I saw the news alert from CNN that mentioned a random shooting in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. Could be a dozen people dead with nu-merous injured. Now I was fully awake and concerned. You see, both of my sons, their wives and three of my grandkids live in the Denver area. More important, my oldest son Sean, daughter-in-law Mi-chele and the two lit-tle ones, Addie and Lucy live in Aurora!

I’ve found in this day and age, texting and Facebook are the fastest way to communicate with the under 40 crowd. Friday morning I tested it out. First, I sent out text messages to everyone’s cell numbers, knowing that it was an hour earlier in Colorado. Still, I also knew someone would respond. Being somewhat of an impatient person at times, I quickly went to Facebook to see what, if anything they might have posted which could provide me with an update. At this point I will admit I

had worked myself into a state of more than concern. Sure I knew that most likely none of them would be sitting in a movie theater on work night at mid-night BUT it was Friday and happened to be my youngest son Chad’s birth-day. You just never know. And what about all of their friends and family in the area? In the midst of this my wife and youngest daughter, still in Phila-delphia, were texting me to see what I had heard.

Soon, though it seemed like forever, Michele sent a text letting me know all was well and how unbelievable it was that such a thing would happen so close to home. Aurora for them is just a holding pattern as they recently sold their home in Denver and are in the process of having the new one built. Typical me, I told her to tell the builder to build faster. Chad, the birthday boy, got back to me with a text shortly af-ter that letting me know Megan and little Bennett were fine and they were all heading off to the aquarium to start the birthday celebration.

I was exhausted and it was only 6a.m. I sat back and watched the CNN on air coverage for a while and quietly took a deep breath. Everyone in our family was safe but I couldn’t help feel so sorry for the families of those with loved ones caught in this senseless act of violence of violence.

Not just another day...

QuintanaJesus Jaime “Popo”

Quintana, age 67, passed away on July 16, 2012.

To anyone he met, Jesse was a very kind and social caregiver. He cared most for cars, hous-es, cats, people’s hearts and health. For those who had the privilege to know him well, Jesse was an extremely loving man. He loved his fam-ily more than life itself. Jesse was a vocal politico, a fashionista ahead of his time, a collector of many things, an amazing story-teller, a fierce competitor, cat lover, poet, philoso-pher, a great dancer and music lover. He made a difference in every life he touched.

Jesse’s parents im-migrated to the United States from Mexico when he was 9 years old. He lost his mother to cancer soon thereafter, which shaped his thoughts on the importance of family.

Even as a loyal Mexi-can Citizen, he still loved the U.S. and served as a Sergeant in Telecom-munications in the U.S. Army.

In 1966, Jesse fell in love with the love of his life, Gloria Soto and mar-ried in 1967. They soon were blessed with three daughters and six years later, they were blessed with a fourth daughter who had the gift of soft-ening his heart. All his daughters become the center of his universe.

At age 14, he was awarded a Golden Globe Boxing Championship and was an all-star athlete at school. Later in life, as an avid golfer, he won the City Championship which gave him great pride. He also achieved great accolades for his talents in auto body and painting work.

In the late 1980s, Jesse learned that he had an extreme heart condition that threatened his life. Doctors gave him a very bleak prognosis. But as a fierce competitor and with Jehovah’s help, he took control of his health and embraced a nutri-tional vitamin and herb regimen. He became a walking encyclopedia of vitamins and herbs. His illness caused him to change professions from auto body to cleaning and Cleanco was born. Clean-co fed his soul in that he worked with so many amazing people where he could touch their lives.

In recent years, Jesse’s

universe expanded like a supernova and his heart soared with the birth of his five grandchildren whom became his whole life.

Jesse has lived fully, laughed daily, loved and was loved perfectly. As his final goodbye, Jesse would have hugged, kissed and prayed with all his family. He would have shaken hands and hugged all his friends more than once. He would have danced one more dance to his favorite song by Frank Sinatra “ My Way”… “I’ve lived a life that’s full…I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried… I did it my Way…” and God Bless.

He is preceded in death by his mother and father Teresa Quintana and Francisco Quintana, and a sister Rosie Quin-tana.

He is survived by his wife Gloria Quin-tana; daughters Pamela (Shawn) O’Connor, Pa-tricia (Patrick ) Perron, Priscilla Quintana, Kris-ten Porche, Jessica (Leo) Rodriguez; his siblings Alejandro (Sharon) Quin-tana, Lupe (Robert) Wil-son, Maria (Harley) King, Laura (Carmelo Ray Paduani) Quintana, Lilia (James) O’Neill, Isabel (Rogelio) Cueva, Fran-cisco Quintana Jr., mother Rosa Quintana; grand-children Kaitlin Evans, Alexandra and Ari Rodri-guez, Jillian O’Connor, and Patia Perron.

When Jim Noble's phone rang around 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon, it wasn't a call he's used to getting.

Noble is part of the police chap-lain program started by Alice Pres-byterian pastor Krin Van Tatenhove. Tatenhove used to be a military chaplain and started the program in Alice as a way to comfort victims' families and police officers.

"We're just there to be a spiritual presence of some sort," Noble said.

Roughly 14 area pastors are on a rotating list to be called by police in

traumatic situa-tion. Noble was called out Sunday to visit with the family members of four people who died after a shoot-ing and car chase that ended with the vehicle crashing into a building.

This was Noble's first call since joining the program, but said that Tatenhove and other area pastors have provided their services several times.

The pastors are only on-call for

one week at a time every three or four months.

"It's not a huge time commit-ment," Noble said.

The police department is still get-ting used to calling the chaplain on duty, but that will come with time, Noble said.

"We just hope the exposure gets out there that we are available," he added.

Pastors aid in giving comfort


Neighbors on Escobar Street said they no longer feel safe letting their young children play outside after Tuesday's shooting that sparked panic in Alice.

Nathan Jess Ortiz's family lives down the street where he said he used to play basketball. He has a newborn and an-other child.

"There is no safety for the kids," he said. "The only kind of safety we do have

are the police, and I guess they are try-ing to do all they can, but the safety is to prevent this stuff."

Ortiz said there has been trouble in the neighborhood before and "little kids" go around wreaking havoc on people's property.

"You don't talk about safety after the situation's happened," he said. "You're supposed to prevent it."

Another neighbor who didn't want to be identified said she heard something that sounded like four shots being fired at

and thought some-thing had happened at nearby Cadena's Tire Shop. When she left for work, she noticed a detective taking pictures on Encinal Street.

The woman said she put two and two together and called her fam-ily to make sure they stay away from their home's windows and

doors. She added that the police have been driving in the neighborhood quite a bit, like they knew something was going to happen.

"I can't believe this happened in broad daylight," she said.

Sheriff officials have increased patrol out in the coun-ty and are helping other agencies in the city.

"We are assisting the police department to address the problem in Jim Wells County. We continue to take a proactive stance," Sheriff Oscar Lopez said. "We have increased patrol where gang activity is prevalent."

Deputies will be checking all traffic violators."If they are possessing weapons, we will prosecute to

the fullest extent," Lopez said.The shooting on Escobar is still under investigation

and Bueno said the department is working hard on ob-taining more warrants.

Two homes are nearing completion with another in demolition as part of a the Homeowner Rehab Assistance Grant awarded to Jim Wells County.

The $80,000 grant was secured through Community Action, and work is almost done on Raphaela Mendoza's house on Rosario Street. After completely demol-ishing it, the walls are now up, along with windows and siding. The electrical work for the building is in progress.

The framing is also going up at a house on Johnson Street belonging to Jesus Go-

dines. Nelda Barrera with Community Action said the two houses should be done by the end of August.

"They're just excited. It's amazing," she said. "They all seem to be very, very grateful."

Demolition was done on a third house last week, and Barrera said they hope to get the final two homes soon. The demo-lition of a house on Corina Street had to be pushed back until next week after a bulldozer from Precinct 1 broke down.

A blessing of the homes will be done once the homeowners move in. OFELIA GARCIA HUNTER

The home on Rosario Street had its foundation poured recently and is now framed with walls erected. This is part of the rehab assistance grant program.

Sheriff's department investigates illegal dumping of chemical

Claudia Garcia [email protected]

The Jim Wells County Sheriff's office called the Ben Bolt Fire Department for assistance in clean-ing up a chemical spill on County Road 461.

The chemical that was dumped on the side of the road was identified as a

hazardous corrosive ma-terial.

Officials were able to keep the chemical from causing any harm to resi-dents in the nearby area, which they've been clean-ing since 2 p.m. Monday afternoon. The estimated amount dumped was 10 to 15 pounds. Others in-volved in the clean-up

were Guardian EMS, Al-ice Fire Department and the Naval Air Station in Kingsville.

The Sheriff's office is in charge of the investigation and the suspects involved could face up to a $2,000 fine. No arrests were made.

CLAUDIA GARCIA

Ben Bolt Fire Chief Patrick Thomas, Abatement Officer Hector Zertuche Sr. and Safe-ty Officer Florencio Rivera are out at the scene on County Road 440 where a chemical spilled was reported Monday.Protective gear was used in the clean up.

SAN DEIGO – Skylah Ortiz and Kriselda Vela already had plenty to keep themselves busy before being recruited to participate in the San Diego summer track and field program.

The 10-year-old class-

mates at Collins-Parr Elementary were compet-ing in basketball, softball and volleyball, but decid-ed to give track and field a try. It turned out to be a good decision.

Ortiz and Vela are headed to the 2012 AAU Junior Olympic Games – Ortiz in the sub-midget high jump and Vela in the

sub-midget shot put – which begin today in Houston. The two aren't schedule to compete until next week, so the first-time qualifiers have a few extra days to practice.

“I didn't even know about the Junior Olympics until I made it,” said Vela,

Calallen's Duke still having fun

CONTRIBUTED

Former Calallen standout Ryan Duke is 1-0 with a 4.00 ERA in nine innings for the Reading Phillies of the Eastern League (Double A).

Former Oklahoma closer working way up Philadelphia Phillies farm systemJavier Becerra

[email protected]

After a successful career at Calallen and the University of Oklahoma, Ryan Duke eventually got the opportunity most high school players only dream about when the he was picked by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 25th round of the 2011 Major League Draft.

Although he now gets paid to pitch, Duke hasn't forgotten the fun he had during his days with the Wildcats.

“I feel like it's still the same game and I still try

to have as much fun as can, but it is a job,” said Duke, now with the Double A Reading Phillies of the Eastern League. “I'm getting paid for it, so it's expected of me to be at my best. I have to be on time everywhere we go and always have to put in the extra effort. You still treat it as a kid's game, but you have to put more into it.”

Duke started off the year with the Lakewood BlueClaws, Philadelphia's low-A team in the South Atlantic League. After nine games he was called up to the Phillie's high-A

squad, the Clearwater Threshers of the Florida State League.

Steady play then earned Duke a promotion to his current team, the Double A Reading Phillies. While there he made his Triple A debut with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, who needed an extra arm for a doubleheader.

Duke struck out two and walked two while giv-ing up one hit in two innings of relief. He went back down to Reading after the game and is 1-0 with a 4.00 ERA 12 strike-outs in nine innings.

It didn't take Duke long

to figure out the formula for success.

“It's all about prepara-tion, really,” Duke said. “Last year, coming out of college I felt like I was well rested so I was able to just go pitch. In high school I'd get my running in and lift weights every once and a while. Here I learned very quickly that takes a lot more effort. You have to stay healthy throughout the year so you have to do a little bit of something every day. It's not like high school where you just have games twice a week. You have to get ready for work every day now.”

JAVIER BECERRA

Kriselda Vela (above), 10, prepares to heave the shot put while practicing at San Diego High School on Tuesday. Vela and classmate Skylah Ortiz (right), 10, qualified for the 2012 AAU Junior Olympic Games in Houston.

who finished fifth at the Area 20 National Qualifier in Converse with a throw of 21 feet, 7½ inches. “The coach just asked who wanted to try out for shot put. I said I'd do it. I threw pretty far the first time.”

Buchanan Dam's Kendall Wenzel won the event with a mark of 30-9½, while Jalani Davis of Harker Heights threw 26-10 to finish second. Austin's Madison Jackson finished third with a throw of 24-6½.

Vela has some ground to make up, but a steady workout schedule should help. Ortiz and Vela prac-tice at least four times a week for about an hour a day, usually in the morn-ing.

The hard work paid off for Ortiz, who cleared 3-8 to win the high jump at the national qualifier. Kenedy's Alexandrea Mireles went 3-6 to finish second and Yoakum's Carley Hewig 3-2 to finish third.

Like Velez, Ortiz wasn't sure how the pair's first foray into the track and field scene would turn out.

PHOTOS BY JAVIER BECERRA

San Diego held its annual summer football camp this week. More than 60 participants from fourth-ninth grade turned out for the three-day event, which focused on fundamentals.

With the family dollar being stretched to the limit, it's just about the worst time yet to hear that dreaded question: "Mom and Dad, can I have an allowance?" With less to go around, it's more important than ever for kids to be taught the pro-verbial value of a dollar. This quiz explores how to get children up to speed on how to handle and grow those shrinking dollars.

1. Five- to 7-year-olds can be responsible for handling money.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 2. Allowances can be

optional, depending on your family's values.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 3. Middle-school children

can grasp the realities of debt and interest.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 4. Teens who work part-

time jobs have multiple learning opportunities.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 5. If your family can

afford it, kids shouldn't have to worry about money.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) 6. College students and

teens should not have access to a credit card.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( ) ANSWERS:1. TRUE. Many 5-year-

olds are interested in money. If they know how to count, they will be able to learn the difference between the coins and bills, and can pay for small purchases at the drug-store. You can give kinder-garteners a wallet to keep in the bedroom. If they lose track of their money, they will be upset when you don't replace it, but will quickly learn to keep their funds safe. They also can save their change in a piggy bank.

2. TRUE. Young children can be given an allowance, but it is up to you to determine what it means. Some families prefer to have the child work for the money, while others believe that housework should be shared by family members without tying it to pay. Still others have the

child pick a few chores she is good at and enjoys, and then decide together on a rate of pay for doing them. This helps the child under-stand the value of working to earn money.

3. TRUE. In middle school, children can be given small loans when they want to buy items that are outside the family budget. Adding interest will give them a per-sonal experience that will discourage borrowing. You also can help them examine their savings account book-let and grasp how their money can grow with the application of interest a bet-ter experience than borrow-ing.

4. TRUE. When teens earn a paycheck, you can help them grasp the facts behind the minimum wage, Social Security, federal income taxes, college savings plans and tips versus salary. If they are interested, suggest that they invest in one of their favorite companies with a small purchase of stock. Encourage entrepre-neurial children to save some of their paycheck toward working for them-selves. If not much pay is left, it will help them learn

to strive for a higher-paying job.

5. FALSE. The child who grows up with everything handed to him will be at risk of mismanaging money and taking on debt he can't afford if he ever works for a living. Every child should be taught how to balance a checkbook, what the fees are for credit-card balances that are not paid off monthly, and how to buy responsibly at the grocery store and mall. The family's financial status could rapidly change in these troubled times.

6. FALSE. While unre-stricted credit purchasing is not a good idea for students, they can use pre-loaded cards with the funds strictly controlled. Debit cards also are useful for teaching them how to be responsible for a limited number of dollars. Show them the realities of building up a credit rating and how they can ruin or improve theirs with their actions. All this will prepare them for when they get a job and are on their own, deal-ing with interest rates and debt issues.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Others try to lure

you into their way of thinking. An unexpected insight about someone really has you rethink-ing your interaction with this person. Do not let a conversation get too heavy; otherwise, the other party might lock onto one comment and get depressed. Tonight: With a favorite or spe-cial person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could go

beyond the call of duty for an associate. Do not anticipate this person's reaction; stay centered. You might find that you cannot count on this person as you would have liked. Try to accom-plish as much as possible. Tonight: Out on the town.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You exude a sense of

well-being and caring when you are among others. This attitude tends to win the confidence of many people. Your buoyancy helps push a project forward, and at the same time, you are able to lift someone's spirits. Tonight: Make it early.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your comfort level is

always the highest at home. For that reason, if you can work or

stay close to home, do. News that changes the big picture comes forward. Do not sink into negativity. A change in the status quo could be good. Tonight: Paint the town red.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your words do not

fall on deaf ears. Others have a very different style of letting you know that they hear you. Remain sensitive to the possibili-ties that are offered, and take your time when making a deci-sion. Stay in the present, if pos-sible. Tonight: Head on home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH A partner's whimsical

statement or action starts quite a conversation. Try to understand where this person is coming from. You could feel financially limited at this point in time, so you might not feel as if you can make the offer you would like. Tonight: Join a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHHH You feel as if some-one had asked you to do some-thing you did not want to do but unfortunately said "yes" to. Once you see a shortcut, do not hesi-tate to take it. A person you look up to shares a plethora of sug-gestions. Tonight: Your treat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Your mindset colors

everything you do. Do not hesi-tate to indulge in some sponta-neity to help change your mood. Could you be taking a statement further than it was intended? Probably. Let it go before you affect a relationship. Tonight: Feeling like yourself again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Use the daylight

hours to the max. You work well with others. Expect surprises from a child or new friend. It always helps to maintain a sense of humor. You could become very demanding when reacting to one key person. Tonight: Not to be found.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You will stand up for

yourself with a superior. You might be surprised by this per-son's reaction. Situations that were predictable might not be any longer. Someone you count on might not be as available as in the past. Tonight: Find your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Do all your research

and questioning during the day-light hours. You could hit a wild situation where you might be floored, which is unusual for you. Conversations are animat-ed, to say the least. Remain enthusiastic, even if you are in a changeable situation. Tonight: Out and about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Keep reaching out

for a key person in your life whom you can talk to on a very deep level. You might need to deal with his or her mood first before you can launch into the conversation you want. Know how and when to try to connect on this level. Tonight: Try a new nightspot.

BORN TODAY First successful test-

tube baby Louise Brown (1978), actor Matt LeBlanc (1967), social writer Eric Hoffer (1902)

***

Happy Birthday! Wednesday, July 25, 2012: This year you demonstrate the ability to han-

dle the unexpected, difficult and irritating parts of your life. Your flex and understanding can only evolve. You also seek answers with a newfound need for depth, which causes many debates. If you are single, you want someone romantic and intense. This person could appear through a friendship. If you are attached, you gain appre-ciation for each other through socializing more as a cou-ple with others. Make special time for the two of you, too. SCORPIO inspires a whole new life perspective.

JUST FOR LAUGHS

HOLLYWOOD THEATER

We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it- William Faulkner

HOLLYWOOD -- Are you ready for a prequel/sequel to "Raging Bull"? Robert DeNiro won an Oscar for playing Jake La Motta in l980; now they've cast William Forsythe in the role. Forsythe played Flattop in "Dick Tracy" with Warren Beatty; Sammy "The Bull" Gravano in the HBO tele-film "Gotti"; and John Wayne Gacy in the 2010 film "Dear Mr. Gacy." The new "Raging Bull" also has Joe Montegna, Paul Sorvino, Penelope Ann Miller ("The Artist"), Ray Wise, Robert Davi and Bruce Davison.

Martin Scorsese, direc-tor of the original "Bull," who isn't involved in this one, wonders, "At the end of 'Raging Bull' (Jake La Motta is) looking in a mir-ror and he's at comfort with himself. He's not fighting; he's not beating himself up. That's all. So, I don't know where they're going to go. I really don't know what 'Raging Bull II' would be." They must be planning to show Jake at the end of his life and in the beginning, when he was just a raging calf!

Real estate values have gone down everywhere, but some properties never lose their value because they were once owned by celebrities! In Palm Springs, the home of the late "Jeopardy"/"Wheel of

Fortune" creator Merv Griffin went on sale for $9.5 million. Former first family Gerald and Betty Ford's house (where I once lunched with the late pres-ident) sold for $1.675 mil-lion last March. Liberace's house sold for $1.3 mil-lion, Frank Sinatra's home for $4.2 million, Cary Grant's home is up for $3 million, and Suzanne Somer's house is being offered for a whopping $17.5 million.

They all pale by com-

parison to the L.A. Coldwater Canyon home that "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest just bought from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi for $37 million. The 12,000 square-foot home was once owned by "Dynasty" star Joan Collins and more recently by "Will & Grace" co-cre-ator Max Mulchnick. Ryan still owns the gated Nichols Canyon estate he bought from Kevin Costner in 2006 for $11.5 million.

Diane Keaton made the move from New York and bought a 7,800 square-foot home in Pacific Palisades for $5.6 million, and Marilyn Monroe's last home, a small house in Brentwood on Fifth Helena Drive, is for sale for an inflated $3,595,000. Who has that kind of money? Some people might call this real estate, but to me it sounds more like UNREAL estate!

The current fair share goa ls for t h e S t a t e o f Texas are as fol- lows:
