From the estimable photo archives of the late, great Nick DeWolf, from which we have more to share later todayAs Andrea noted in her liveblog Monday, Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway stopped down the council's Public Safety Committee meeting to rant against a different kind of crime: the end of fireworks at Fair Park on July 4. Said Caraway, "We're inviting people to go out to Plano and see what those cities are like." He has since vowed, repeatedly, to make sure that doesn't happen.Which was but one of many subjects that came up Tuesday afternoon during my chat with Daniel Huerta, executive general manager at Fair Park. We also spoke at length about, among other things, City Manager Mary Suhm's latest budget proposal, which the council will stop down to chat about during today's marathon meeting. Fair Park's set to have its budget gutted -- several positions will be lost, lights will be turned out, security will be scaled back, marketing will be all but nonexistent, its presence significantly reduced.The cuts come just as Fair Park management is having some success in bringing life back to the park: Pete's got a piece in this week's paper about the enormous success of last weekend's Electric Daisy Carnival, which is already in talks about returning bigger and better next year; shows are being scheduled in the Fair Park Band Shell; Stephen Page's classic-car museum is in the middle of fund-raising while Fair Park officials find it a permanent home; the Taste of Dallas makes its Fair Park bow in two weeks; and it was announced last month that the White Rock Marathon will begin and end at Fair Park.So, then, what do the likely cuts mean for Fair Park? Let's ask the exec GM.Update at 4:24 p.m.: I see Craig Holcomb, head of Friends of Fair Park, says there will now be fireworks at Fair Park on July 5.

Dan DeWolf said the debris came from the renovation project at Doyle Middle School on Burdett Avenue. He said the axle of a truck carrying construction and demolition material split, dumping its load on the road. Police advised drivers to avoid the region.

TROY - Police are investigating a shooting that occurred on 8th Street near Hoosick Street around 10:30 Monday night. The victim, who did not suffer life threatening injuries, was taken to Albany Medical Center, according to Police Capt. Dan DeWolf.
