David GarciaDave Garcia:

Dave Garcia was born in South El Paso on December 17, 1953. He went to St.Patrick Elementary School before attending prep school at Jesuit Preparatory. In 1972 he started college at University of Dallas, then finished at Southern Methodist University in Journalism.

During that summer while on his way to Nursing School, KTSM TV came calling. Since David had worked at KROD radio between school semesters, the move to a full-time radio job seemed logical.   Read more about Dave

El Paso families facing tough times in Arkansas

A fire and set of explosions that destroyed a meat packing plant over the weekend could have a "devestating" effect on a small west Arkansas town.

No one was hurt in the blaze yesterday at the Cargill meat packing plant in Booneville. But firefighters were unable to fight it because of a dangerous ammonia leak. The leak prompted the evacuation of 180 people from the town. One official says the facility had recently undergone a $40-million expansion. And with 800 employees, it was Booneville's largest employer.

Cargill is asking employees to stay home today and says it's too early to say if the plant will be rebuilt.

A Booneville pastor tells us Booneville "is already hurting" economically and says workers will be applying for unemployment and food stamps if the plant closes.
