Fountain Hit by Drunk Drivers Moved
Mother's Day became moving day for a fountain that's turned into an eyesore in Olmos Park. Sunday morning crews began removing the fountain sitting in the roundabout at McCoullough and Olmos. The city decided to move it because since it was built three and a half years ago it has been hit 26 times - often by drunk drivers. Neighbors will help the city decide what to put in its place. The city is also looking for a place to put the fountain.

Man arrested in Texas for 1962 death of La. woman
May 18, 2013 15:42 GMT
LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) -- A man arrested in a 51-year-old killing is being held in the Calcasieu Parish jail without bond.
Authorities arrested 73-year-old William Felix Vail Friday for the October 1962 killing of his wife, Mary Horton Vail. Calcasieu Parish District Attorney John DeRosier says he intends to seek Felix Vail's indictment for second-degree murder.
Authorities reopened an investigation into Mary Vail's death after stories written by The Clarion-Ledger of Jackson, Miss. Until recently, Vail lived in Mississippi.
The newspaper reports (http://on.thec-l.com/YQGEh2 ) Vail was arrested in Canyon Lake, Texas, Friday evening.
Mary Vail was ruled to have drowned, but family members found evidence tying Vail to the disappearance of girlfriend Sharon Hensley in 1973 and wife Annette Craver Vail in 1984.
The Calcasieu Parish coroner later reclassified Mary Vail's death as a homicide.
