Rio Grande City High School Surprises Fellow Cheerleader

Ac2E Elementary Held its Student Council Elections

On Wednesday, October 5, 2016, the true meaning of friendship was experienced ﬁrst-hand by Kendra Trevino at Rio Grande City High School. What was supposed to be a regular cheerleader practice session turned out to be a major surprise for Kendra. October marks the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness. In keeping with the spirit of bringing attention to this cause, the cheerleaders, together with their sponsor Mrs. Melissa Limas, wanted to take it a step further. In 2012, Kendra was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Presently she is in remission and is a cancer survivor. Her faith, tenacity, determination, family and friends support has brought her to this milestone. She is indeed a true hero and role model to her peers and community. On Friday night instead of seeing the pink pom-poms and bows, the cheerleaders have honored her and proudly show off their teal colored accessories to promote awareness for ovarian cancer for one of their own. We are all super proud of you Kendra!!! OPEN MON-SUN 7AM-7PM

Misa de Segundo Aniversario En Memoria de

Hortencia Barrera 08-23-1921 † 10-29-2014

No sabíamos esa mañana que Dios iba a llamar tu nombre. En vida te quisimos mucho, en la muerte lo mismo. Nuestros corazones se rompieron al perderte pero no te fuiste solo, parte de nosotros se fue contigo el día en que Dios te llamó a su casa. Nos has dejado recuerdos hermosos. Tu amor sigue siendo nuestra guía y aunque no podemos verte siempre estás a nuestro lado. Nuestra cadena familiar se rompió y nada parece lo mismo, pero cuando Dios nos llame uno a uno, la cadena se unirá de nuevo.

Carlos “Lito” Alvarez Jr. September 3, 1937 † September 29, 2016

The Broken Chain We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone for part of us went with you, the day that God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

We, the family of Carlos Alvarez Jr., wish to express our thanks to all our relatives, friends, and neighbors who made a most dif�icult time in our lives easier to bear. Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent beautiful �lowers, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you sent or spoke the kindest words as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did, whatever your part to consoling our hearts. We prayerfully thank you so much.

“It started with my student council sponsor asking if they could take the students to Washington,” said Saenz. Being the positive role model that he is he didn’t want to sound negative but he explained that it was going to be expensive and asked if they had a plan as far as fundraising. Nevertheless, they traveled to Washington and the students got to meet the president at the Rose Garden of the White House. President Nixon spoke to the

Roma High Senior Jose Mares was presented at the Roma ISD School Board Meeting on September 29, 2016 for showing heroism when he used the CPR knowledge he gained during his life guarding lessons at Roma High to save the life of his young cousin. “Jose Mares has become a hero to many in the community because of not just that action, but because of the tremendous leadership skills he has shown in his role with the district’s Swim Team and JROTC Program,” said Leticia Garza-Galvan, Roma ISD School Board President. “It was amazing to hear Coach Calvin Syder and Col. Luis Barrera talk about him last night and I have seen him ﬁrst hand when the

JROTC is drilling. I am so proud that he is part of our school district and it really is an honor to have a student of this caliber counted as a Gladiator. We wanted the other students present to hear his story so they could know that anything is possible and see what true heroism is and that there is no set age of a hero - kids can be heroes too. Sometimes its scary to be alone and standing up by yourself to face a challenge, but Jose didn’t back down. I’m just so proud of him! We all are. He’s amazing; and he’s an inspiration to us all.” Mares received a standing ovation from the entire audience and was given a token of appreciation on behalf of the school district.

We welcome everyone to enjoy our skate plaza,” said Mayor Joel Villarreal. “We are proud to partner with Rio Grande City on this project. These are the kind of local park projects we look forward to funding. Hearing how the youth of Rio Grande City approached the City and how the City, in turn, brought people together for this project is amazing,” said Lana Daniels, Project Coordinator, Texas Parks and Wildlife. “Several years ago, we were approached about the possibility of building a skate park. Today, young skaters of Rio Grande City have a safe environment to practice their sport,” said Rey Ramirez, Rio Grande City EDC Board President, “I’d like to thank Mr. Omar Perales and the staff at the Rio Grande City Parks and Recreation for overseeing this project and developing skateboarding as another activity in the city’s parks and recreation growing program.” The skate plaza measures over 12,000 square feet and features ramps, bowls, benches and urban elements such as rails and stairs. On hand at the grand opening, were professional skaters from the Corpus Christi area. The Rio Grande City Parks and Recreation provided a special thanks to David Canales, Jameel Joston, Teddy Nickleson, Becca, Ethan Swanson, John Hartman and Ben Janshen for coming out and giving a demonstration of the sport to the local youth.

RGCCISD Teachers Hard at Work First Mayor’s Men’s Prayer Breakfast Held

RGCCISD teachers from all grade levels (Elementary – High School) met on Saturday, September 24, 2016 for training on the 5E instructional model. Dr. Paul Michael Doyno was the presenter and showed the teachers how to create a well-developed lesson plan for direct instruction or indirect instruction. Teachers were set up in groups and worked collaboratively creating lesson plans for their speciﬁc content area.

The first Mayor ’s Men’s Prayer Breakfast was held on Tuesday, O c t o b e r 11, 6:30 to 7:00 am, at the Starr County Campus of South Texas College. Thirty three (33) persons from the community were in attendance. Joel Villarreal, Rio Grande City Mayor, welcomed the men and expressed how proud he was to be hosting his first Prayer Breakfast. He introduced several city officials and extended a warm welcome to Alberto Perez, our recently employed city manager. The “Words to Live By” message was delivered by Rev. Jon Herrin, Pastor at First United Methodist Church. He used Psalm 1 as his scripture where the psalmist uses the images

of a strong tree with a strong roots foundation, a solid trunk to support the branches and weather whatever storms come its way, as well as receiving nutrients and water from the river close by. The analogy is that when a person’s faith is well rooted in the words of God and constantly seeks God’s guidance, he is able to withstand the adversities of life and provide shelter for others. Several persons shared their own experiences related to the scripture. Refreshments and fellowship were enjoyed by all. The next Mayor’s Men’s Prayer Breakfast will be held on November 8 at the Starr County Campus. Community men are encouraged to attend.

then I can say USS Restore is Mr. Basilio Villarreal Jr. and friend.

Let’s not bury our head in the sand, this election is about Basilio Villarreal Jr. trying to consolidate his political power over the city and our school district and it looks like the county too. Now we have the county judge, most commissioners, the county attorney, the district clerk and the county court at-law judge trying

to make taxpayers drive all the way from the county line, Alto Bonito, La Grulla, Garciasville, La Casita, La Victoria, and La Paloma subdivision to Rio Grande City to be able to vote early. Perfect example of denying reasonable access to earlyvoting polls. You were so focused on politics you forgot about the presidential

elections. You don’t think this is an advantage for one of your Good Ole Boys Judge? That’s the reason you gave for shutting down El Cenizo and La Victoria centers, not lack of funds Nobody else but you called it a political football. What will you Good Ole Boys come up with next to sway elections.

So voters, don’t expect the federal anti-corruption task force to come to our rescue, they want everything handed to them on a silver platter

The Texas Department of State Health Services is reminding pregnant women who cross the border with Mexico that Zika testing is available to them and encourages them to discuss testing with their health care providers. Under current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, Zika testing is recommended for any pregnant woman who has traveled to a country with ongoing Zika transmission, including those who regularly cross the U.S.Mexico border. DSHS also reminds health care providers to assess their pregnant patients for possible Zika virus exposure at each prenatal care visit. CDC and DSHS recommend testing for Zika antibodies as a part of routine prenatal care during the ﬁrst and second trimesters in pregnant women with an ongoing risk of Zika exposure. This reminder is especially important for pregnant women with regular, frequent travel to any part of Mexico during the peak mosquito season of August through October or who have a sexual

partner with regular, frequent travel, deﬁned as crossing the border weekly or more often. DSHS is interested in expanding the amount of Zika testing being done in Texas, particularly in communities along the border considered to be at a higher risk of

local transmission because of their geography and history of outbreaks of dengue, a similar virus spread by the same types of mosquitoes. Pregnant women are a particular focus because of the risk of birth defects associated with Zika. They ZIKA, page 14

Information for travelers, including a link to CDC’s travel notices, is at www. TexasZika.org/travelers.htm. Additionally, everyone can help prevent the spread of Zika by mosquito bites by: •Using EPA-approved insect repellent. Repellents are safe to use during pregnancy when applied according to the label instructions. •Wearing long pants and longsleeved shirts that cover exposed skin. •Using air conditioning or window and door screens that are in good repair to keep mosquitoes out of their homes. •Removing standing water in and around homes, including water in trash cans, toys, tires, ﬂower pots and any other container that can hold water. Texas has had 229 reported Zika cases, all related to travel, including two cases transmitted via sexual contact with someone infected overseas and two infants who were infected before birth.

Ratany deserves close scrutiny

special appreciation for a few plants and animals. A m o n g t h o s e are the Mexican burrowing toad, Audubon’s oriole, Ord’s kangaroo rat, indigo snake, star cactus, Mormon tea, and dung beetles. To that list must be added Calderona ratany. It’s a small shrub easily overlooked but deserving close, careful examination which will reveal its remarkable characteristics. There are several species in the genus Krameria; I’ll describe the one found in the Valley called Krameria ramosissima. Usually under 2 feet tall, it’s a densely branched bush with very thin branches. When I first noticed it some years ago, I thought it was just the remains of a young shrub that had dried up and died. When I took a closer look, I noticed some green along the branches and a few small purplish flowers. What looked dead was actually a thriving and fascinating little shrub. Found primarily in Starr and Hidalgo Counties and down into Mexico, it’s worth getting down on your knees for close observation. Plucking a twig and a flower for

veins and stems. The pistil curves up in the center and there are a couple of what appear to be aromatic glands beneath it. You have to actually see one to fully appreciate its tiny complexity. I’m sure their structure is suited to attracting tiny pollinating insects. When fertilized, they produce small pods which contain only a single seed. In addition to all those amazing characteristics, what really got to me about ratany was the fact that, despite our recent heat and drought, growing without shade under the blazing sun in nutrient poor soil, it thrives! All around it are grasses, and various shrubs, all of which are clearly stressed, but the ratany, seldom noticed by us, just continues to bloom and grow. How’s that for being well adapted to your environment? Look for a patch of ratany next time you hike The little flowers, produced from the thorn scrub and take a very spring through the fall, are under a close look -- scrutinize it! You’ll be half inch in diameter and colored rewarded. maroon. Like peas and orchids, they’re bilaterally symmetrical, that is, have right and left sides. They’re not radially symmetrical like sunflowers. In fact, though very small, when you observe them with a hand lens, you see that they resemble elaborate orchids. There and about the thickness of the lead in a pencil. Young branches are numerous, are covered with tiny gray hairs and form dense tangles. Along each branch are alternating clusters of leaves. Nubbins might be a better name than leaves. They’re a mere sixteenth to eighth inch long and shaped like tiny spindles, that is, kind of fat and blunt pointed. Occasionally single the leaves usually tend to be in clusters forming miniature rosettes.

Alto Bonito Elem. 1st Six Weeks Honor Roll Flu Shot Boosts Your Mr. “A&B” Rene Pena proudly announces the Leslie Lopez, Gabriel Salinas & “A&B” Briana De la Rosa, Eleazar Garza & honor roll for the 1st six weeks 2016- Andrew Chavez, Ana Gonzalez & Haylee Trillayes Health, Protects Others 2017 at Alto Bonito Elementary. Michelle Vargas Aden Lopez Teacher: Erika Ramirez It’s a fact: People will be hospitalized because of the flu this year, and many — 49,000 based on annual estimates — will die. But taking action now might help prevent that from happening in your community. Getting a flu shot not only helps you avoid the flu, it also protects people around you who are more likely to get sick — and possibly have complications, or even die. Texas Medical Association (TMA) physicians urge everyone over 6 months of age to get vaccinated now to have protection throughout flu season. “When we get vaccinated, we help ourselves and we provide protection to people who are more apt to catch an illness and become sicker because of it,” said Bruno Granwehr, MD, a consultant to TMA’s Committee on Infectious Diseases. “In the case of flu, your shot helps you protect your children, grandchildren, your elderly parents or grandparents, your pregnant co-worker, or a cancer patient.” Influenza, or the flu, is a severe illness much worse than a cold that spreads easily and can keep people sick for seven to 10 days. Most who get the flu will have mild symptoms, such as a cough and fever. For others, flu can lead to pneumonia or bronchitis, and potentially a hospital visit. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the following groups are most likely to suffer severe complications: •Children under the age of 5 years, but especially those under 2 years; •Adults 65 years of age and older; •Pregnant women (and women up to two weeks after giving birth); •Residents of long-term care facilities and nursing homes; and •People with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, or heart disease. “When we look at this list, most of us know someone who fits into one of those categories,” said Dr. Granwehr, an infectious disease physician from Houston. “Cancer patients are another vulnerable group because their bodies have a tougher time fighting off illness during cancer treatment. Your flu shot could protect them, and anyone most vulnerable to flu. Your shot could help a loved one.” Nearly 70 percent of hospitalizations from flu-related

illness are in people who are over age 65. And most (up to 85 percent) flu-related deaths are among the elderly. Yet people 65 years and older had one of the biggest drops in flu vaccination during the last flu season (201516), according to the CDC, down 3.3 percentage points. Children also can be hit hard with flu-related illness. According to the CDC, more than 20,000 U.S. children younger than 5 years of age end up in the hospital each year because of flu complications. And because babies under 6 months of age can’t get vaccinated, they rely on the people around them, including their caretakers, to get vaccinated. Protecting people around us is called “community immunity,” explained Dr. Granwehr. The vulnerability of newborn babies is another argument for pregnant women to get the flu shot. The vaccine protects mom AND her unborn baby. The baby remains protected by the mother’s immunity until about 6 months of age. Plus, flu usually is more severe for pregnant women and can lead to complications, including early labor and delivery. This year, the CDC recommends flu shots for everyone. In addition to the standard flu shot, this year’s options include a highdose shot for people 65 years and older, and an intradermal vaccine that uses a smaller needle injected into the skin instead of muscle. (The nasal spray flu vaccine is not recommended this year because of concerns about its effectiveness, though it was offered in the past.) Physicians suggest people talk with a doctor to choose the best vaccine. The CDC recommends getting a flu shot in October for protection throughout the entire flu season, which can last from now through May. It takes about two weeks for the body to build protection to fight the flu. TMA has produced a flu fact sheet and a flu facts infographic, in English and Spanish. To find out where flu shots are available and other flu information, visit the Texas Department of State Health Services website, or visit www. flu.gov. Be Wise works with local communities to give free and lowcost shots to Texans, and educate people about the importance of vaccination.

2004 HONDA CIVIC TAN VIN: 2HGES26784H532048 LP’S WUE-4090 VIRGINIA PUBLIC HEARINGPRIVATE City of LA GRULLA Closeout TCDP # 7214270 Texas Community Development Program

The City of La Grulla will hold a public hearing at 5:01 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 01, 2016, at the City Hall, located on 194 South FM 2360, La Grulla, Texas in regard to the Close-Out of TCDP Project No. 7214270. The purpose of the hearing is to receive citizen comments regarding the completed project. The project is 100% complete. The La Grulla City Hall is accessible to the Handicapped. Should someone request it, the hearing will be conducted in both English and Spanish. Pedro Flores, Mayor La Grulla, Texas

Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a Wetland/100-Year Floodplain These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Escobares. To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals on 10/26/2016: This is to give notice that the City of Escobares has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The activity is funded under the Community Development Block Grant Program under contract 7216151. The City of Escobares proposes a Street Improvements project to reconstruct approx. 3,711 LF of street utilizing an 8” flex-base, prime coat asphalt material, 2” HMAC, and all associated appurtenances on Church St from Old US Hwy 83 to US Hwy 83, on Bazan St from Sacred Heart Dr to Lopez St, on Lopez St from Martinez St to US Hwy 83, on Pena St from Eli St to the western terminus, and on Rincon St from US Hwy 83 to the southern terminus. As an alternative, should funding allow, project activities may extended to include approx. 330 LF of Barrera St from Florez Rd to Old US Hwy 83, and approx. 2.16 miles of San Julian Rd from Docker Rd to El Chanito Rd, Escobares, Starr County. The project shall include activities within approximately 1.1 acres of the 100-year floodplain and 0.01 acres of wetland. The City of Escobares has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: a reduction in scope, alternate locations, and no action. The scope and location of project activities were chosen based on minimum improvements necessary to correct the safety risks existing conditions pose to the human environment. Because the project scope includes only the street segments most in need of repairs, the alternatives considered would preclude correction of these risks. Additionally, there shall be no significant increase to impervious surface, best management practices shall be employed during construction to ensure erosion control and to prevent the unintentional discharge of dredged or fill material into the wetland, and the activity shall comply with state and local floodplain management/ wetlands protection procedures. The City of Escobares has reevaluated the alternatives to building in the floodplain/wetland and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and 11990 are available for public inspection, review, and copying upon request during regular business hours at the City Hall for receipt of comments. There are three primary purposes for this notice: (1) People who may be affected by activities in floodplains/wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas; (2) An adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains/wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas; and (3) As a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains/wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received on or before 11/2/2016 by the City of Escobares at P.O. Box 907 or 4829 Old Highway 83, Roma, TX 78584, (956) 8471200. Attention: Noel Escobar, Mayor, during regular business hours. A full description of the project may also be reviewed during regular business hours at 4829 Old Highway 83, Roma, TX 78584. Comments may also be submitted via email to Dana@grantworks.net. Servicios de traducción están disponibles por peticion a la Ciudad. (Translation services are available by contacting the City).
