Dallas gang counselor resigns amid controversy Boyd said earlier that she would prove her abilities if given the chance. "I wouldn't want to hurt the kids or jeopardize the program, but I've worked with Hispanic and black kids for nine years," Boyd said. "I've never had a problem establishing a rapport with them, so why should I have one now?" Minority leaders also called for the resignation of Wise, who is black, if he did not recognize that he made what they called a mistake in selecting Boyd for the post.

More than 50 Hispanics attended a Dallas Park Board meeting last week to protest Wise's decision. As he walked into his City Hall office, Wise was pressed to comment further on the issue. "Do you want me to say it in Spanish? El no-no," Wise told a reporter. None of the Hispanic leaders at the rrfeeting heard Wise's comment, but several later said the flippant remark illustrated Wise's insensitivity to the Hispanic community. Wise later said he regretted the remark.

Allen Monahans 943-6774 MHalalBHalBRBllinRn Quality Carpet Since 1961 337-2303 GALVESTON (AP) Erosion has devoured much of Galveston's beach at die base of city's 10-mile-long seawall, but officials hope a plan that rebuilt the shores along Miami Beach will restore the strand to its glistening past. More than 100 miles of Florida beach, including 10.5 miles in Miami Beach, have been "nourished," or rebuilt since 1975, mainly with sand pumped from offshore deposits.

Like Miami Beach 16 years ago, Galveston now fights to save its ever-dwindling resource. Precious little beach remains at the base of the city's seawall, and from the wall's west end, erosion relentlessly eats the remaining 20 miles of the city's unprotected West Beach. But after years of wishing and talking, plans seem to be gaining momentum for rebuilding Galveston's beachfront. Success hinges on a number of factors, including the Legislature's adoption and funding of a coastal management plan that will make Texas eligible for a share of more than $500 million in federal coastal management funds. Because it has no such plan, Texas is the only coastal state to which the federal money has been unavailable.

While many are skeptical about ever seeing a wide beach fronting the seawall again, members of the Galveston County Beach Preservation Association say the restoration march is on in earnest. "There are so many stars in a line right now that we're very confident and we expect it to be within the next two to three years," said businessman Russ Eitel, co-chairman of the association. Area federal and state legislators, Galveston City Cpuncil and county commissioners, business leaders and the Texas General Land Office all are excited about beach nourishment and rapidly improving erosion control methods, Eitel said. He also thinks the election of. Ann Richards bodes well for the effort.

"We have a governor now who is sensitive to coastal issues," Houston's Dannenbaum Engineering Corp. is conducting a $200,000 study of the county's erosion problems along the shores of Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and the technology available to deal with them. Along the Gulf shoreline, the seawall area, West Beach and a seriously eroded area of Bolivar Peninsula east of Rollover Pass are high on the critical list. For the seawall area, Eitel envisions a 200-foot-wide beach that would fill the areas between the rock groins, or jetties, that extend into the Gulf of Mexico. Although a 1985 U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers study pegged the price of nourishing a 4.5-mile stretch of seawall beach at about $12 million, Eitel said private dredging firms have estimated that they could do the job for about $1 million a mile today. 500?" oc Prill oto DALLAS (AP) The Dallas County juvenile probation officer hired as the city's new gang intervention coordinator has resigned after two weeks of controversy over her inability to speak Spanish, according to a published report. Diane Boyd resigned Saturday during a telephone conversation with Dallas Parks Director Frank Wise, who hired her, the Dallas Times Herald reported. Boyd was to assume the post Jan. 23.

Wise said Boyd will send in a written resignation this week. "She decided that she's going to withdraw and stay with the county," Wise said. "I already prepared in the event that this may happen to have my district manager, Jerry Howard, who has the support of the people who have protested, serve in the interim," he said. Wise said he won't fill the job until he meets with Hispanic leaders and park board members "to map out a plan." Hispanic leaders had criticized Wise's hiring of Boyd. They said that because an estimated 75 percent of gang members are Hispanic, the program coordinator should be able to speak Spanish and understand the culture.

But if Houston Capt. Roy B. Chandler has his way, Kyles will stay behind bars for the rest of his life. Chandler has mounted his own campaign to keep Kyles and other police killers behind bars, and he hopes to enlist the help of other Houston officers. When a convicted killer comes up for parole, Chandler plans to launch a letter-writing campaign to keep him behind bars until the full sentence is served.
