COLONIAL FUNERAL HOME HOLIDAY LAW ENFORCEMENT Drunken drivers, seat belts targeted By The Associated Press AUSTIN Texas troopers out in force during Thanksgiving week will be watching for drunken drivers and people who don't buckle up during the busy holiday period.
The Texas Department of Public Safety on Monday urged travelers to use caution and keep roadways safe. AAA Texas predicts that 3.6 million Texans will travel 50 miles or more from home over the Thanksgiving holiday. DPS troopers during the 2013 Thanksgiving period made 387 DWI arrests, issued 6,848 speeding citations and wrote 804 citations for lack of insurance. Troopers also issued 704 seat belt-child LAKE LEVELS from 1A the lake. Nix said it could take 2-4 days for the lakes to receive the full impact of the rain.
"We're headed in the right direction, but we're not there yet," he said. Nix pointed out the last time Wichita Falls lakes dropped to critical levels, it took four consecutive months of record rainfall to get the levels from 30 to 60 percent of capacity. Wichita Falls received 2.8 inches of rain Saturday, a record amount for the date. The city has gotten 22.82 inches of precipitation in 2014, which is 4.14 inches below normal, but ahead of other years in the extended drought. The forecast from the National Weather Service calls for no more rain for the next week with sunny skies and daytime high temperatures hovering in the upper 50s to mid 60s.
Thanksgiving Day is predicted to be sunny with a high of 63. Treasures are not always material possessions. Friends and Family, these are a few of my favorites. As we prepare for Thanksgiving, Eastern Treasures will be closed Weds- Fri. We will reopen Saturday from 11-5 with holiday hours.
Enjoy this Thanksgiving and reflect on all the treasures in your life. Eastern Treasures Judge sentences drug lieutenant to 22-year term Case seen as damaging to Sinaloa cartel By Michael Tarm Associated Press CHICAGO A U.S. judge sentenced a reputed lieutenant of captured Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to 22 years in prison Monday for his role in a $1 billion trafficking conspiracy, saying the stiff sentence should send a message to traffickers everywhere. Alfredo Vasquez-Hernandez, 59, stood unmoving in a Chicago courtroom, listening through a Spanish-speaking interpreter as Chief U.S. District Judge Ruben Castillo's tone became more stern.
"I tell you on behalf of all citizens of Chicago we are tired of this drug trafficking," he said. The case is regarded as one of the U.S. government's most important against Mexican cartels. Guzman remains jailed in Mexico, and Mexican authorities haven't said whether they might extradite him to Chicago. Minutes before the sentence was imposed, a deferential Hernandez said he wanted to apologize.
"I ask you for forgiveness and for you to have pity on me," he told the judge. Defense attorney Paul Brayman had asked that Castillo impose no more than the mandatory minimum 10-year sentence, saying "anything more is a death sentence" for his client. Hernandez pleaded guilty this year to possessing heroin and cocaine with intent to distribute. After the hearing, 1 Hernandez's 43-year-old son, Gabriel Vasquez, told reporters the punishment was too harsh. "He's not the monster that everyone says he is," an emotional Vasquez said.
"He's a family man." Early at Monday's hearing, Castillo repeatedly asked the question: "Who is this defendant?" Prosecutors relied on two Sinaloa cartel associates turned government witnesses, Pedro and Margarito Flores, to paint Hernandez as a close friend of Guzman who used his logistical skills to ship tons of drugs by train from Mexico to Chicago concealed amid furniture cargo. But the defense described him as an auto repairman who got caught up in a one-off drug deal. They also attacked the credibility of the Flores twins, saying they exaggerated Hernandez's role in the cartel to curry favor with prosecutors. In the end Castillo said there were legitimate questions about the belivability of the twins. And he said he would not factor in whether Hernandez was or wasn't a ranking cartel figure, saying it would be unfair "to let the entire specter of 'El Chapo' Guzman" influence the sentence But Castillo also said he didn't accept the portrayal of Hernandez as someone who stumbled into the one deal for which he was extradited in 2012 from Mexico to Chicago.
