CORPUS CHRISTI — Rachel and Steve Clooney are moving to Corpus Christi in January because of their love for Selena Quintanilla-Perez.

"Selena was about 65 percent of the reason why we decided to move here," Rachel said.

"She's just herself. She'd do anything for anybody. She is someone I would have liked to have met."

Dedicated Selena fans such as the Clooneys and media from around the world spent Thursday touring various sites around the city that have become famous since the Tejano star's death 10 years ago.

Selena was shot on March 31, 1995, at the Days Inn on Navigation Boulevard. Selena's fan club founder, Yolanda Saldivar, pulled the trigger and was sentenced to life in prison for doing so.

People primarily spent their time at the Mirador de la Flor on the corner of Peoples Street and Shoreline Boulevard where a statue of Selena stands. People looked at her statue, took pictures and even wrote messages on the bricks surrounding the statue.

Adi Vaknim, 22, came from Israel to pay her respects to one of her favorite artists. Vaknim became Selena's fan after her death.

"I became a fan three years ago," she said. "I saw the Selena movie and I got to know her."

There were no special notes or trinkets at Selena's former house on the Westside. Her gravesite at Seaside Memorial Park got few visitors and was closed for a few hours during the day for another funeral.

Even the motel where the Tejano singer was shot saw little activity. Suresh Patel, general manager of the Days Inn, said no fans came by Thursday, just media from as far away as Venezuela, hoping to photograph the room where Selena was shot.

Some fans toured Selena Etc., a clothing boutique, and Q Productions, where Selena recorded some of her music, on Wednesday because the venues, owned by Selena's family, were closed Thursday.

Two national Spanish language television programs filmed their shows Thursday at the Mirador de la Flor. Charytin, a well-known entertainer, hosted "Escandalo TV," which is on the Telefutura network. Johnny Canales hosted the show "Cotorreando" on rival television network Telemundo. Selena's international television debut occurred on "The Johnny Canales Show" in 1985.

Canales, who is from Robstown, said Selena's impact will always resonate with her fans.

"Selena was the people's lady," he said. "Any artist that gives their lives to other people will always be the people's person."

Selena first appeared on Canales' show when she was 13 years old. Canales said the last interview he did with Selena was in 1994 in the Bayfront Plaza Auditorium in Corpus Christi.

"She inspired a lot of singers to think 'maybe if she did make it, I'll make it too'."

Selena inspired more than singers.

Gloria Menda Soto, 48, drove eight members of her family, including her grandchildren, to Corpus Christi this week from Kalamazoo, Mich. Soto, who is from Corpus Christi, said she could see herself in Selena and that's why she's a fan.

"She's Tejana," Soto said. "She's the queen of the Tejana. I'll do anything for her."

Pedro Haro, 24, flew in from Hawaii. Haro said Selena reminded him of his sisters.

"To me it was neat to see someone brown," he said. "Someone that looks that they could be from my family."

Members of the Selena Youth Center in San Antonio also came to pay their respects. The center, which is part of the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans, assists young women toward being productive in life, said center supervisor Eddie Campos.

The center was started six months after Selena's death. Campos said it was important that young women from the youth center draw inspiration from Selena.

"She's like a role model for the girls," he said. "It's important for us that they experience this. It also keeps them connected to their cultura."

With this precinct I have not a vote however, the County Commissioners are engaged towards progress for our community as a whole.

Dannoynted1:

"Our Large Family attended the "Annual Feast of Sharing" event held at the Bayfront Plaza.

Joe Benavides was one of our servers (i believe he was a soft drink server), and Mrs.Banales also was there with her husband.

I will not talk about the burnt tamale(only I got) but lets just say the mashed potatoes were the best my man says the rolls were the best.

Considering it is election time, I am surprised most politicians were absent. But with the way they rushed you out after you ate, You certainly did not have any time to "network".

The candidates that did attend, I apologize for not mentioning you as I was there only a small window of time..."


It was so different from the last time I went, which with regret, was not last year.

I must say the food was better at the events that cost money."

JK:

We dont know that Joe Benavides will make a better Commissioner than the incumbent but I do know Joe was working and he volunteered out of his commitment to the community. Joe has over the years volunteered and donated his services diligently. One might argue he is only volunteering his time and services because he wants to "get elected".

I dont believe this is the case. I have known Joe for a little over two years and I know his father. In the past, Joe Benavides has run a couple of times for office but, he volunteers regardless of whether he is running or not.

Will Joe Benavides continue to volunteer if he wins?

We can only know after we vote for him.

We do know his incumbent opponent was not volunteering at the Feast of Sharing.

We do know Joe Benavides' incumbent opponent was parading around with her hubby in tow. Was she making a statement? The message IMO was she is not worried about her challenger, she does not take him serious and she is not going to change her routine ways for her constituents. We do not know how she represents her constituency but we do know she is not going to change it.

All we can do is allow Joe Benavides to tell us how is going to represent his constituents.

We can ask him questions and hear his answers.

With Joe Benavides' incumbent opponent we dont have to ask her anything because we have her record to refer to.

The only thing I remember is that, "She could work harder" if she gave herself a pay raise.

I also know she was walking around when she should have been working.

As far as the Family name and integrity, we might should ask the ME about the trangressions.

Ask her about the real reason she decided to run.

"We do not win by replacing a corporate Republican with a corporate Democrat," said Mr. McMurrey, speaking to about a dozen supporters at an East Austin residence.

Ray told me this before he spoke at his Official Announcement to run against the Corporate Democratic Military Industrial Complex Candidate for Texas US Senator.

A very passionate candidate who is anything other than a fake or what some like to call a politician.

Ray is not a Politician and this is a very very positive attribute.

Dont get me wrong he is very well suited for the Senate and the diplomacy is there but there is a sternness that demands his respect kind of like the respect and command he possesses in the classroom. I think we can all agree, if he can handle our youth in the classroom he will do well for us in Washington.

Two more things

Remember the Alamo

and

Stay tuned for Jan 2 next year.

"We do not win by replacing a corporate Republican with a corporate Democrat," said Mr. McMurrey, speaking to about a dozen supporters at an East Austin residence.

Ray Mc Murrey is from Corpus Christi.

He tells us upfront of his progressive leanings and his disappointment in both of the Hegemonic Parties.

Post 1 December 23, 2007 at 6:02 a.m. (Suggest removal)

What a superficial column! This is never about anything substantive- never discusses any real political issues. This lady is just a groupie at council and commissioner's meetings, reporting the stupid things they do or say.

The last week of the year is when people are making their final decisions to run for office. Something could have been written about attorneys thinking of challenging the rude Judge Longoria or what happened about possible opponents to Juan Garcia but no she'd rather talk about nonsense. If she wants to learn more about what commissioners are thinking when they dress the same perhaps she can do a series hiding out in each politician's closet and watching and listening to them dress- and the Caller - Times can get someone to deal with the more serious issues.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes post 1 , it may be superficial , but is that earning the money we paid for them to "work harder"?

How much does faux "cleric" Tyne r Little earn? Enough for him to be elevated by the County Judge to "Reverend, are you all set?"

When did this happen? Dress rehearsal for another Loyd (Insurance) deal perhaps, but it was whatever "Kneel" wanted it to be.

What is 9/10th's of the law? Abandonment?
WACO?!?

This is criminal why does Jaime Powell not report "eminent domain" this crime fraud? Paul Jones & Ennis Joslin land giveaway?

Or the Pat rick Birmingham CCCC discrimination?

We need to realize the one's who profit from division and it is not the average Nueces County Citizen.

We have State of the County events held with the publics money; yet the public was never invited.

We have the hyenas circling and making advances (but we do not see them). They are dressed in Lambs Clothing.

Junior John is working with Fil Vela Jr. & Federal Prosecutors (in the Valley, CC, SA & Houston) to Manufacture White Collar Crime and use it as a Political Strongarm when the Political Strongarm should be accomplishments and the actual construction of a VA Hospital in the Valley.

Junior John has got to figure in this mix and Fil is the inroads (for Cornyn) into South Texas. We need to put a Big Stop Sign up in Robstown and inform them about Connie Scott as I understand Fil Vela is her campaign manager or treasurer and Mike Scott is a TLR guy with a title

We dont need to speculate or debate how Junior John will vote

Was Sean Hannity arrested at the Hotel Economico in historic downtown Brownsville late Sunday night with a prostitute?

Sunday, November 25

HERALD HIDES HANNITY'S ARREST

Sean Hannity, the radical Republican who is urging the assassination of Hillary Clinton and the nuclear liquidiation of Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela via his outlandish rhetoric, was arrested at the Hotel Economico in historic downtown Brownsville late Sunday night with a prostitute. "I never touched that woman!" he screamed as Brownsville police pushed him into a squad car and hauled him to the county jail for booking. "I never touched that woman! This is a Democratic conspiracy to embarass me nationally." Pancracia Mascogida, an illegal alien, was also arrested and charged with soliciting. "Mr. Hannity was technically correct when he claimed that he didn't touch her," said Ben Neece who is representing the woman. "According to my client, Hannity accepted her invitation to follow her into El Economico where he rented a room for an hour," said Neece. "He asked her to strip nude, stretch out on the bed and spread her legs as wide as possible. He then stood over her and began masturbating, insisting that my client refer to his erect penis as the Great American. Cops walking the downtown beat heard him shouting through an open window and suspected a domestic violence incident. They climbed the stairs to the second-floor hotel and stormed into Hannity's room where they nabbed Hannity madly stroking his member." Hannity, who is on the border filming a segment on the necessity of the wall, broke down in his cell and admitted his addiction to prostitutes. "I courted my wife for a year, but she refused to have sex with me because she insisted on being a virgin her wedding day," wept a fulminating Hannity whose confession was overheard by several prisoners. "I had my needs and turned to prostitutes to satisfy my desires. As a result I've become addicted to them since my wife only believes in having sex for procreation." The Brownsville Herald is refusing to publish the facts regarding Hannity's indiscretion while Fox Television is not commenting on the controversy. When informed that his paramour was working without documentation, Hannity pounded his head against the bars of his cell and lamented, "If we had constructed the wall this wouldn't have happened. Just like the terrorists can sneak across the border and destroy us, this immoral individual has destroyed me. We Great Americans must rise together and stop the influx of Mexican trash from polluting our country. I am just another victim of this brown plague." Neece, who has dealt with his share of deranged characters during his long career, called Hannity sick. "He kept insisting that the other prisoners needed to listen to him three hours a day if they wanted to save the country," recounted Neece. "They just shook their heads and returned to their comic books." Hannity was still incarcerated when El Rocinante went to press.

Why not run that BND corruption up the chain of command.

Rove Expedience & A Simple Activation Mechanism: A bloated bafoon in a suit who treated his wealth as carefully as the Beverly Hill Billies

- Mauricio - - By taking Watt's place at the table October 25, 2007 at 00:27:57 AM

How interesting? Well Watts, it goes to show you can't win them all. Are you familiar with the Art of War? You should not leave your weakest point of penetration unguarded and stupidly exposed to the world. Well, you knew that. Arrogance was the snake under your pillow. And that snake took the form of bloated bafoon in a suit who treated his wealth as carefully as the Beverly Hill Billies. How funny! This will now lead to all the political stooges Watts put in place to fall like dominoes. There will be a vaccum set up and maybe a couple of the right people might step in.

Juan G. is not one of them. Let's not get our hopes up. The wannabe Kennedy impersonation worked in the 60's, maybe the 70s, but not now. We need leaders, not actors.

Lesson to be learned: Learn who the real power is in your area and don't piss them off.

Goodbye Watts. Your undeserved millions might not keep you safe through this scandal.

I'm taking your place at the table now.
You will hear about me in a couple or few more years. "Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name."

• Non mihi, non tibi, sed nobis - By Jaime Kenedeno October 25, 2007 at 01:22:59 AM
  
  Let's take a look at this picture.
  
  Unsolicited
  7.03 (b) A lawyer shall not pay, give, or offer to pay or give anything of value to a person not licensed to practice law for soliciting prospective clients for, or referring clients or prospective clients to, any lawyer or firm, except that a lawyer may pay reasonable fees for advertising and public relations services rendered in accordance with this Rule and may pay the usual charges of a lawyer referral service that meets the requirements of Occupational Code Title 5, Subtitle B, Chapter 952.
  
  So an unlicensed person can solicit prospective clients and deliver them to an attorney but the attorney cannot pay according to the potential value of the client (and his case). The attorney can pay the unlicensed person reasonable fees for advertising and public relations services rendered . In the same exact client and case, the receiving attorney can pay, give, or offer to pay or give anything of value to a licensed attorney .
  
  Basically it is a housekeeping issue for the attorney profession. It prevents upward financial mobility unless one has a license.
  
  Here is where the loathing sets in.
  
  A doctor receives his clients be referral, word of mouth and quality work performed. He does not pay for the referrals.
  
  A runner or legally untrained person refers clients to an attorney and for every case the lawyer takes on, the runner is paid "reasonable fees" (chump change) depending on the amount "advertising and public relations " work performed.
  
  Or if that same runner realizes he has something valuable, he can take it to a market where he will be compensated appropriately.
  
  Dramatists speak of the unconscionable "ANYONE WHO PRAYS ON THE INJURED OR DEAD UNSOLICITED IS A PIECE OF ####".
  
  I must disagree and let me tell you why. Last year on October 8,2006 my father had a heart attack. I performed CPR and kept him viable until the fire department arrived and took over. They hooked him up to an AED an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator and procedded to apply the shock needed to restart his heart. As my family watch in horror the AED malfunctioned. The rescue squad just looked at each other as they were thinking "not again"; then they quickly scooped and ran with my pops to the hospital. The machine malfunctioned and one of the men who was cleaning up made a comment he said, yeah we still have a few bugs to work out it (referring to the AED). Still to this day I would consider it a God send to be solicited. When something unfortunate happens to a loved one his or her family is looking for the reason and they want somebody to pay for their loss. They didnt choose to have their loved one snatched from their lives and certainly there is not any amount of money that will bring their loved one back. The family does not know how to preserve their legal rights. Who will protect them for free?
  
  NOBODY
  
  I also can see the argument one makes regarding a money seeking runner playing on the emotions of the grieving family.
  
  In the end did the family receive Justice is the question?
  
  A family is prayed on if they are not justly compensated and provided for. If the family receives compensation then the runner receives compensation per quantum meruit.
  
  If there are attorneys are burning grieving families of injured or dead victims; give us some specifics where this has happened.
  
  From my experience most of these cases where runners have solicited the family, the family and the runner develop a client / agent fiduciary relationship. The runner advocates for the family as he advocates for himself. He works with a law firm and barters parameters for himself as well as the family and power of attorney is transferred to the Licensed attorney.
  
  Quantum Meruit - "For what it's worth"
  
  As far as unconscionable, take a look at the funeral homes and their taking advantage of the grieving family. Maxwell P Dunn is the only Funeral Home in town who did not try to take advantage of a grieving family.
  
  I am still pondering this dilemma. With Celis, I think we have a man who has advocated for a lot of families and these families (at least most of them) are content / satisfied with the end result. This little tidbit about him not being licensed has been known for quite a while and he was an accepted asset in the Legal Community. Thomas J Henry has known of this same fact for quite a while as well so why now?

  Mauricio is being fried because Mikal is running for Senator. Why not run that BND corruption up the chain of command. Now, there is a legitimate decay in our society. @! million is only the tip of the iceberg, what about the illegal human trafficking, the asians, the dream team and the Cohens?
  
  
  
  
  • 
    
• And
  
  barratry
  n. creating legal business by stirring up disputes and quarrels, generally for the benefit of the lawyer who sees fees in the matter. Barratry is illegal in all states and subject to criminal punishment and/or discipline by the state bar, but there must be a showing that the resulting lawsuit was totally groundless. There is a lot of border-line barratry in which attorneys, in the name of being tough or protecting the client, fail to seek avenues for settlement of disputes or will not tell the client he/she has no legitimate claim.
  
  Sounds like TJ Henry to me?
  
  And for the Record I supported Mikal Watts in his Senatorial run. He was the only candidate that could upset Junior John Cornyn. Noriega will be debunked, count on it.

    The netroots progressive voters are unaware of their buffered affiliation with the Republican GOP calling the shots. Follow the chain of command from the lefty affiliations connected to Solly Jr (various companies and board members in South Texas to the relationship with fort bend county progressives and Houston progressives). From Solly Jr to his Father Congressman Solomon Ortiz Sr and his henchman Lencho Rendon who work directly the Junior Senator. This is a forged relationship due to the strained relationship between Kay Bailey and Solomon Sr.
    
    Solomon Sr is pro life and votes along republican lines. The progressives are controlled by the republicans and will deny it nonetheless.

      "That is good enough for me at this point"
      
      I say the bar has been lowered by Watts dropping out.
      
      The VA hospital will it see fruition
      
      Immigration issues
      
      Cornyn will be re elected unless we find another horse to run. Not just any horse but one who is responsive to the people.
      
      Noriega dont have a chance and he is dirty as well.
      
      I am not ready to concede just yet.
      
      What about Barbara Ann?

    • This little ruse about Mauricio not being licensed is stale at best and way late - By Jaime Kenedeno October 25, 2007 at 01:28:07 AM
      
      
      This is old news. It is common knowledge Maurico Celis has never held a JD or State BAR License.
      
      I spoke to Mauricio and his representatives on Friday.
      
      I was told, "Mauricio is the Manager of CGT Group" and " he is not licensed to practice law in the State of Texas".
      
      Thomas J Henry did not return calls.
      
      Why now?
      
      Why did Vance move to California?
      
      When we revealed this information, nobody gave a ####.
      
      And now?
      
      TJ Henry, his actions speak for themselves.
      
      Mauricio possesses a clientèle niche and is the manager of CGT Group. As far as referrals, it would be imprudent to turn down clients because a non attorney acting as an agent is the "referrer".
      
      If I bring a high dollar case to any attorney,I expect to be compensated accordingly. We dont call it a referral fee as I am not referring the case. I bet Les Cassidy, TJ Henry, Abel Cavada and every other attorney rewards people who bring them money making cases. That is the real world people. The laws were made to allow attorneys to retain an inside track and charge the high rates. If the BAR had it their way, there would be no internet access to the written law. It is called a housekeeping issue.
      
      Henry is mad because he did not get the referral. He didnt get the big case.
      
      The real question here is, who has Mauricio Celis represented in a courtroom?
      
      Which courtroom and who was the Judge?
      
      Now, there is something new to write about.
      
      You know at one time, mainstream CC did not know Mikal's mother was the Judge but think WATT it would sound like to make the announcement today? This little ruse about Mauricio not being licensed is stale at best and way late. The bearer of this news is either very uninformed or has acquiesced and now finds it personally advantageous to bring it up now. But go for it guys, y'all got yourselves a humdinger of a scoop. Blast away, after all; as far as credibility, you guys dont got anything to lose.

        Yeah, but it gets nastier. Sometimes egos flare. Tons of money can make you make mistakes when it goes to your head. He probably would still be able to bag chicks telling them he is an attorney if Watt they did was not try to act like Mikal Corleone during a politcal baptisim.

Google Yourself Corpus Christi: Gossip of South Texas Chismosos, go for it guys, y'all got yourselves a humdinger of a scoop! LOL!

PUBLIC DEMANDS JUSTICE

In the latest South Texas Independent Journalists Association (STIJA) survey, the public is demanding that Congressman Solomon Ortiz, his former aide Lencho "El Pescado" Rendon and State Senator "Sucio" Eddie Lucio should spend time in prison for their roles in the $21 million Port of Brownsville heist.

Is Benavides Neutral Territory? WATT happened didnt we meet the 007 Security Clearance?

Where's my big bear hug Johnny?

Take it away

AGIF: Why do we continue to accept this type of conduct from our leadership at the compromise of our organization?

One speaker pointed out that Hispanics comtributed the highest number of Congressional Medal of Honor recipients among minority groups who served in that war.
