"Gunman kills five at roller rink party

GRAND PRAIRIE - A gunman opened fire at a North Texas roller rink during a private birthday party, fatally shooting at least five people and wounding three others last night. The shooting happened just after 7 after an argument apparently got out of hand. A police spokesman said the gunman was one of the attendees and was shot, but he was not sure whether it was a self-inflicted wound."

"Phony Texas high school athlete sentenced" July 28, 2011|Associated Press

ODESSA, Texas - A former star athlete who posed as a teenager to play high school sports in West Texas was sentenced to three years in prison as part of a plea deal, a prosecutor said yesterday.  

I must admit it has been a dream of mine to help the local five; however, no plastic surgeon in the world could  disguise my age at this point.

Guerdwich Montimere, 23, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault and three counts of tampering with government records, said Ector District Attorney Bobby Bland....

Officials say the naturalized US citizen from Haiti came to Odessa as a ninth-grader using the name Jerry Joseph. Montimere was 21 when he played one season of football at Odessa Permian High and helped lead the Panthers to the 2010 state playoffs. Permian’s football team and backers inspired the book “Friday Night Lights.’’  

Which was turned into a TV show.

******************************

The sexual assault charge stemmed from a relationship with a 15-year-old girl.

"Teaching of evolution in Texas schools sparks controversy again" July 22, 2011|By Jim Vertuno, Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas - The debate over teaching evolution in public schools flared up again at the Texas State Board of Education yesterday, with supporters and opponents of the approach sparring at a meeting over supplemental science materials for the upcoming school year and beyond....

The new teaching materials are necessary because the state could not afford to buy new textbooks this year, leaving students to use some that are several years old....  

Nothing wrong with an old book -- if it tells the truth.

"Parched Texas welcomes tropical storm" July 30, 2011|Associated Press

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas - As Tropical Storm Don crawled through the Gulf of Mexico, South Texas braced for long-awaited rain and what some saw as a practice run for storms to come.

Almost all of Texas is in extreme drought, and Don’s few inches of rain will not cure that, but at this point any moisture is appreciated....

"Tropical storm leaves little rain in parched Texas" by Associated Press / July 31, 2011

McALLEN, Texas - The storm that many had hoped would bring some relief to parched areas of South Texas passed yesterday after dropping less than an inch of rain - good news only for the cotton farmers who were ready to resume their harvest.  

You got fires, you got floods. Maybe invading the world over lies and dropping missiles on them was the wrong thing to do, huh?

The National Hurricane Center said the remnants of Tropical Storm Don passed into northern Mexico. Don had failed to live up to even low expectations by tropical storm standards and was downgraded earlier to a tropical depression.

“There’s really not much left of it,’’ said Barry Goldsmith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Brownsville.

With dry air falling in behind Don, a hot and sunny weekend was forecast with only a chance of showers. “That great beach weather we had last week is coming right back,’’ Goldsmith said.

Most of Texas has been under an extreme drought, and Don was seen as South Texas’s best hope for widespread rain in months. But totals from various sites in the Rio Grande Valley and coastal Willacy County failed to rise to even an inch.

The storm was a disappointment for ranchers who have been selling off cattle at a rapid clip because their pastures are barren.

But it was a huge relief for cotton growers, who are in the middle of their harvest.

At least clothing should be less expensive, right? 

Double the amount of cotton was planted this year in the state’s four southernmost counties, and the fields along many rural roads are still dotted with white bolls. The area got the most rain from Don, but it still wasn’t much.

“I think it was pretty much a nonevent,’’ said Sally Ross at the Ross Gin Co. in Mercedes yesterday morning....
