Crime Stoppers of Houston’s Annual Gala Celebrates with Historic Record-Breaking Results – Over $1,035,000 Raised for Crime Solving and Prevention Programs

0

Crime Stoppers of Houston’s ‘Leading the Way to a Safer Houston’ Annual Gala, held on November 7, 2021 at the Hilton Americas Houston, raised a record-setting $1,035,000 for crime prevention programs, including a new Safe Community Research Center launching in 2022, as well as critically-needed victim services. This historic event brought together more than 500 generous supporters, courageous victims of crime, devoted community advocates, elected officials and law enforcement from across Texas for a moving evening that honored the innocent lives lost to senseless violence in our City and County.

The gathering was chaired by Amy & Neil Leibman, Genny & John McIntyre, and Sheridan & John Eddie Williams who have a longstanding commitment to the mission of Crime Stoppers and deeply care about the safety of all who call Houston home.

“What happened leading up to and during our November 7, 2021 Gala is an example of a community fed up with crime and in typical Houston fashion – is literally doing something about it. Crime Stoppers has been standing up and showing up since its inception 41 years ago. There were moments when we did so quietly and moments when we were anything but; current times require the latter. And for the sake of all who call Houston home, we will only continue.”  said Crime Stoppers of Houston CEO Rania Mankarious

The Sunday affair began with a lively cocktail reception, program booths, and preview of the Gala raffle item. For only $100 per ticket, guests could enter to win a brand new 2022 E-Z GO Express S4 Golf Cart.
Once in the Americas Ballroom, mistress of ceremonies Shelby Hodge, Social & Lifestyle Editor for PaperCity Magazine, led with opening remarks that included a surprise message from a very special friend in Austin – Matthew McConaughey.

Committed by their own personal encounters with crime, Gala chairs Amy, Genny and Sheridan took the stage to address the audience. Sheridan delivered a heart-felt and important message about the need for the community to come together and solve the issue before us – for the sake of ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

After dinner, Crime Stoppers CEO Rania Mankarious honored Media Icon and ABC13 Anchor Emeritus Dave Ward for his 40 years of outstanding service to Crime Stoppers and the community that included tributes from former President George W. Bush, and the late Barbara Bush (a tribute taped in 2015). The program continued with Mankarious’ powerful delivery that touched on the biggest crime problem plaguing our city, the ramifications of felony bond reform, a call for the community to come together to find solutions, and a conversation with surviving family members, Paul Castro, Theresa Seck, and Chuck Cook who joined to courageously share their stories:

  • Paul Castro, the father of David Castro, the 17-year-old who was tragically shot and killed in a road rage incident after leaving an Astros game
  • Theresa Seck, brother of Patrick Aikens, who was randomly targeted, assaulted, robbed and shot to death simply walking outside his galleria area apartment
  • Chuck Cook, son of 80-year-old Rosalie Cook, who was murdered by a career habitual offender while leaving Walgreens, in the middle of the day, in the Meyerland area

Crime Stoppers Director of Victim Services Andy Kahan joined Rania to facilitate a Fireside Chat with the victim families that concluded with a video in memory of the 149 people allegedly killed by defendants released on multiple felony bonds, felony pr bonds, and/or bond forfeiture. Victim families in the room stood as their loved ones’ photo was shown.

The evening closed with an exciting “paddles up” with John Eddie Williams, Neil Leibman and John McIntyre. Tenenbaum Jewelers, Tony Bradfield, generously contributed to the paddles up with his “Last Paddle Standing” challenge, raising additional record setting funds for the organization.

Sunday’s celebration was supported by many individuals, community partners and generous underwriters, including Legacy Leader sponsors Hallie Vanderhider, the Hildebrand Fund, Jim & Carole Walter Looke, and Sheridan & John Eddie Williams; Safety Trailblazer sponsors Brigitte & Bashar Kalai, Cherie & Jim Flores, Holthouse Foundation for Kids, and Lisa & Michael Holthouse; Community Front-Runners sponsors KIAH CW 39 Houston, Suzette Way and Holly & John Brennan, and many others.

Additional guests included Crime Stoppers Chairman Justin Vickrey, Lindsay and Scott Aronstein, David Dewhurst, Gary Petersen, Johnny Carrabba, Jeff and Rachel Bagwell, Tena Faust, Tama Lundquist, Melanie and Mace Meeks, Dylan and Jordan Seff, Charlotte and Bobby Orr, Jill and Charlie Talisman, Ron Franklin, Patricia King-Ritter, Fred Lausen, Duncan Stewart, Don Faust, Cora Robinson, Michelle and Mike Heinz, and many others.

Leaders from the city, county and state were all involved in the nonpartisan event. Notable guests include Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, Harris County Commissioners R. Jack Cagle, Adrian Garcia & Tom Ramsey, Senator Joan Huffman, Senator John Whitmire as well as Houston City Council Members Mike Knox, Greg Travis, Michael Kubosh, Amy Peck & Sally Alcorn, Harris County Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen, and Harris County Judges Chuck Silverman & Lori Chambers Gray.

Juan Gabriel – La Farsante

0
Yo creí que eras buena
Yo que creí que eras sincera
Yo te di mi cariño
Resultaste traicionera
Tú me hiciste rebelde
Tú me hiciste tu enemigo
Tú que me traicionaste
Sin razón y sin motivo
Este orgullo que tengo no lo vas a mirar
En el suelo tirado como una basura
Yo me quito hasta el nombre y te doy mi palabra de honor
Que de mí no te burlas
Yo te juro por todo lo que sucedió
Que te arrepentirás de este mal que me has hecho
Sabes que, que no descansaré hasta verte a mis pies
Y eso da lo por hecho
Ya veras traicionera
Lo vas a pagar muy caro
Yo soy bueno a la buena
Y por las malas soy muy malo
No quisiste ser buena
Y ya vez lo que resulta
Yo no quise ser malo
Pero tú tienes la culpa
Y es que tú ya de mí no te vas a burlar
Hoy te juro capricho yo haré que me quieras
Ya veras que hasta vas aprender
Como debes amar a dios en tierra ajena
Porque tú a mis espaldas me hiciste traición
Hoy por eso te voy a quitar lo farsante
Voy a ser que tu hincada me pidas perdón
Y me implores amor delante de tu amante

Juan Gabriel – Te pareces tanto a mi

0
Te pareces tanto a mi
Que no puedes engañarme
Nada ganas con mentir
Mejor dime la verdad
Al fin ya se que tu me vas a abandonar
Y se muy bien por quien lo haces
Crees que yo no me doy cuenta
Lo que pasa es que no quiero mas problemas con tu amor
Que tu te vas a ir con el
Esta bien
Yo no me opongo
Te deseo que seas feliz
Pero te voy a advertir
Que si vuelves otra ves no no respondo
Crees que no me daba cuenta
Lo que pasa es que no quise mas problemas con tu amor
Yo se de un tonto que te quieres
Y que se enamoro de ti
Y se bien que los dos se entienden
Y que los dos se ríen de mi
Tu crees que yo no me daba cuenta
Pues ya ves que no es así
Hace tiempo que lo se
Y yo jamas te dije nada
Y a pesar de tu traición
Te di la oportunidad de que recapacitaras
Tu crees que yo no me daba cuenta
Lo que pasa es que yo ya no quise mas problemas con tu cochino amor
Y ese tonto que te quiere
Y que se enamoro de ti
No sabe ni lo que se lleva
Piensa que va a ser feliz
Inocente pobre amigo
No sabe que va a sufrir
Sobre aviso no hay engaño
Yo se muy bien que ya te vas
Dile a ese que hoy te ama
Que para amarte nada mas
Que para eso a el le falta
Lo que yo tengo de mas
Tu te pareces tanto a mi
Que no puedes
Que no puedes
Engañarme
Tu no puedes
Tu no puedes
Tu no puedes engañarme

 

Texas Ballet Theater Revives THE NUTCRACKER For Holiday Season

0

The Nutcracker will be TBT’s first full-scale production since the emergence of COVID-19 in March 2020.

After a 19-month hiatus, Texas Ballet Theater will return to its resident venues to present The Nutcracker at Winspear Opera House on the AT&T Performing Arts Center Campus November 26-December 5 and at Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth December 10-26.

Choreographed by TBT Artistic Director Ben Stevenson, O.B.E., the family-friendly ballet features a classic story, festive choreography, and elaborate sets to put patrons in the holiday spirit. The show includes special effects that enhance Clara’s dreamland such as snow, clouds, and flying dancers.

“The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition for so many families in North Texas,” Executive Director Vanessa Logan said. “We are ecstatic to bring it back to the stage in 2021 and cannot wait to celebrate with our community in person again.”

The Nutcracker will be TBT’s first full-scale production since the emergence of COVID-19 in March 2020. The nonprofit ballet company canceled The Nutcracker performances last year and offered a filmed version for patrons to view at home. Dancers and staff alike anticipate the return of this annual tradition.

“As we prepare for The Nutcracker, I am filled with so many feelings,” Company Dancer Carolyn Judson said. “I know I’ll be battling nerves that have been lying dormant for a while once performances begin, but I am looking forward to performing with new excitement, new love and new gratitude this season.”

MS-13 GANG MEMBER SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON FOR KILLING WITNESS

0

An MS-13 gang member pleaded guilty to his role in the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old witness in exchange for a 40-year prison sentence, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Thursday.

“Cases like this show that gang members work together to rob, kill and terrorize their own members as well as regular citizens—they are a blight on our community and have to be held accountable,” Ogg said.

Darwin Josue Lopez-Ramos, who 17 at the time of the crime, was facing trial for capital murder when he admitted his guilt and was sentenced Tuesday for the murder of a fellow gang member.

On June 13, 2016, several members of MS-13 lured 16-year-old Estuar Quinonez to Buffalo Run Park in Missouri City, where he was shot more than 15 times, as he sat on a park bench. All of the gang members who were present, including Lopez-Ramos, shot Quinonez.

Quinonez had witnessed several gang-related murders, and his killers wanted to ensure that he would never talk.

Lopez-Ramos was not eligible for life in prison without parole or the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the crime.

The case was prosecuted by the Gangs and Organized Crime Division of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and jointly investigated by the Houston Police Department and Missouri City Police Department.

MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, is a transnational gang that began in Los Angeles and has members across the United States.
