Beauty Queen Returns to Throne

Late last week a Texas jury restored Miss San Antonio, Domonique Ramirez, to her rightful place among beauty royalty when they ruled that pageant officials had unfairly stripped the possible Miss Texas contender of her crown. Even after the trial, speculations remained as to the real motivation behind Ramirez’s dismissal. Some believe that pageant officials removed the teenage star for gaining excessive weight and refusing to “get off the tacos.” Others remain convinced that Ms. Ramirez was unduly difficult, chronically late and frequently rude.

 

Financially, the Miss San Antonio, Miss Texas, and Miss America awards can mean college scholarships and product endorsements, among other benefits. As a result, the courtroom battle between Miss Ramirez and Miss San Antonio officials addressed significant tort and contract law disputes.

Three DFW Metroplex on-the-job fatalities

Recent DFW Metroplex news includes stories of three recent on-the-job fatalities:

A 30 year old man working as a subcontractor for Tarrant County was electrocuted Tuesday.  The man was working to repair light fixtures in the mechanical room on the top of the Plaza Garage, located at the intersection of West Weatherford and Burnett streets.  Fort Worth paramedics and MedStar attempted to save the worker, but their attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful.  The man was pronounced dead at the scene.  Authorities are investigating this on-the-job death. 

A lawn maintenance worker was killed Tuesday morning in Grand Prairie after he was struck by a passing motorist.  The man, Fransisco Lara, 35, was taken by helicopter to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  Mr. Lara was struck by a car while he was using a leaf blower to clear debris from the street.  The driver was not injured.  Authorities are investigating this accident.

The body of Roderick Terrell, a Dallas sanitation worker, was found Tuesday at the McCommas Bluff Landfill in Dallas.  Mr. Terrell was on the job at the landfill when he was last seen.  Coworkers found Mr. Terrell's truck, still running, and began searching for him shortly thereafter.  His body was found the next day.  Authorities are investigating the cause of Mr. Terrell's death.
