What a momentous occasion it was as our School Board of Trustees named Acting Superintendent, Mr. Adolfo Peña, Jr. as the sole finalist for the Superintendent position for our district. Mr. Pena has so many accolades he has received throughout his tenure with our school district it would be next to impossible to name them all. We wish to congratulate him, and wish him the best of luck as he leads our district with steadfast will and determination. Those of us who know him and have had the pleasure to work with him, know his energy level is unparalleled. In these few short months, he has started so many initiatives, and if you have been at any of our campuses, you probably have seen him there. If there was ever a visual representation of being everywhere at once, our Superintendent, Mr. Adolfo Peña, Jr. would be that representation.

Once again, congratulations to our leader, our captain, the epitome of a leader if there ever was one. We can’t wait to see where you lead our district and have to hold on for the ride. Congrats Mr. Pena!!!!

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Pida a los 3 Ángeles San Miguel, Rafael y Gabriel.

Prenda 3 velas blancas en un plato con agua y azúcar, haga su petición.

A los tres días publique esta oración. Aunque no crea mire que pasa el cuarto día.

La primavera ha llegado: Contrate a un contratista autorizado para que revise su unidad de aire acondicionado Muchos consumidores de Texas están encendiendo sus sistemas de aire acondicionado para la larga temporada de verano. El mantenimiento regular de su sistema extenderá su vida útil y descubrirá cualquier problema mecánico antes de que se convierta en costosos problemas de salud y seguridad.

El primer paso para contratar a un contratista de aire acondicionado debe ser consultar el sitio web de TDLR (www. tdlr.texas.gov) para asegurarse de que estén autorizados por el Departamento de Licencias y Regulaciones de Texas.

“Contratar a un contratista autorizado ayuda a garantizar la seguridad de su familia y su propiedad. Verificar si su técnico tiene licencia es un paso importante para protegerse del trabajo de mala calidad y peligroso ”, dijo Bill Weatherly, inspector jefe de AC/R de TDLR. Realizar un mantenimiento regular y temprano también puede ayudar a evitar que su sistema se descomponga en el día más caluroso del año, un recordatorio costoso y sudoroso de que el mantenimiento es importante.

Una vez que haya confirmado que el contratista tiene licencia a través de TDLR, aquí hay varias cosas que el contratista debe inspeccionar en su sistema de enfriamiento; como mínimo: •Revisar los gabinetes del equipo en busca de daños o paneles faltantes.

•Revisar el compresor, el motor del ventilador, el contactor y las terminaciones del panel de control.

•Verificar que el calentador del cárter del compresor funcione correctamente.

•Lubricar el motor del ventilador del condensador y los cojinetes del motor del ventilador interior (si corresponde) •Verificar la alineación, la tensión y el estado de las correas del ventilador interior (si corresponde) •Revisar y limpiar las bobinas del condensador.

•Revisar y limpiar el serpentín del evaporador y la bandeja de drenaje de condensado. Agregue las lengüetas de la bandeja de biocidas a la bandeja de condensado.

•Revisar los filtros de aire y reemplácelos según sea necesario.

•Iniciar el soplador interior y realizar una prueba de presión estática para garantizar un flujo de aire adecuado.

•Iniciar el ciclo de enfriamiento y comprobar si hay fugas de refrigerante •Verificar que el sistema tenga una carga de refrigerante adecuada, recorte la carga según sea necesario.

•Hacer un registro operativo de todas las temperaturas, presiones, voltajes y amperajes.

•Enviar un informe escrito al cliente e informar cualquier deficiencia no corregida.

TDLR proporciona supervisión regulatoria para una amplia gama de ocupaciones, negocios, instalaciones y equipos en Texas. La agencia protege la salud y la seguridad de los tejanos asegurándose de que sean atendidos por profesionales calificados y con licencia.

DHR Health Institute for Research and Development Begins Study on Oral Drug to Help Prevent or Stop the Progression of COVID-19 Disease DHR Health Institute for Research and Development (DHR-IRD) has initiated an outpatient study using an oral medication called Camostat Mesilate as a potential therapy to prevent or stop the progression of COVID-19 to severe disease that may necessitate hospitalization.

Previously, Camostat Mesilate has been used to treat abdominal pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis. However, given its mode of action in inhibiting serine proteases, it has been demonstrated that the cellular entry of the virus causing COVID-19 can be blocked by this drug.

“We are very excited to initiate this clinical study that would allow us to use oral medication in an outpatient setting to prevent or stop the progression of COVID-19 disease” said Sohail Rao, executive vice president, DHR Health and president and CEO DHR-IRD. “This initiative is part of our expanded partnership with National Institutes of Health to offer a variety of treatment options to patients with COVID-19 in our Mobile Research Unit” To qualify for this study, the patient must be 18 years of age or over with documented evidence

of COVID-19 infection as confirmed by either PCR or rapid antigen test and must be within 8 days of onset of symptoms. If qualified, the patient will receive Camostat Mesilate or placebo drug for a period of seven days taken orally four times a day and will be closely monitored for a period of 28 days after the start of the treatment. In addition to a modest stipend, transportation services (if needed) are also available for patients who participate in this study. There is no cost to the patient to participate in this study.

DHR-IRD is committed to helping patients and their families who are most impacted

by COVID-19 and continue to lead the convalescent plasma program in the Rio Grande Valley and offers monoclonal antibody treatment for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Researchers at DHR-IRD are currently participating in numerous studies in the area of COVID-19 and many other diseases.

For more information about participating in a study, please call DHR Health Institute for Research and Development at 956-362-2393 or visit DHRResearch.org

On Friday, April 2, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its travel guidance for fully vaccinated people to reflect the latest evidence and science. Given recent studies evaluating the real-world effects of vaccination, CDC recommends that fully vaccinated people can travel at low risk to themselves. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last recommended dose of vaccine.

Fully vaccinated people can travel within the United States and COVID-19 testing or posttravel self-quarantine are not required as long as they continue to take COVID-19 precautions while traveling – wearing a mask, avoiding crowds, socially distancing, and washing hands frequently.

“With millions of Americans getting vaccinated every day, it is important to update the public on the latest science about what fully vaccinated people can do safely, now including guidance on safe travel,” said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. “We continue to encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as it’s their turn, so we can begin to safely take steps back to our everyday lives.

Vaccines can help us return to the things we love about life, so we encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as they have the opportunity.”

Because of the potential introduction and spread of new SARS-CoV-2 variants, differences in disease burden and vaccines, and vaccine coverage around the world, CDC is providing the following guidance related to international travel: •Fully vaccinated people can travel internationally without getting a COVID-19 test before travel unless it is required by the international destination.

•Fully vaccinated people do

not need to self-quarantine after returning to the United States, unless required by a state or local jurisdiction.

•Fully vaccinated people should still have a negative COVID-19 test result before they board a flight to the United States and get a COVID-19 test 3 to 5 days after returning from international travel.

•Fully vaccinated people should continue to take COVID-19 precautions while traveling internationally.

The guidance issued on Friday, April 2, 2021 does not change the agency’s existing guidance for people who are not fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated travelers should still get tested 1-3 days before domestic travel and again 3-5 days after travel. They should stay home and self-quarantine for 7 days after travel or 10 days if they don’t get tested at the conclusion of travel. CDC discourages nonessential domestic travel by those who are not fully vaccinated.

Updates to CDC travel guidance for vaccinated people can be found here: h t t p s : / / w w w. c d c . g o v / coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/ international-travel-duringcovid19.html h t t p s : / / w w w. c d c . g o v / coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/ travel-during-covid19.html Due to the large number of Americans who remain unvaccinated and the current state of the pandemic, CDC recommends that fully vaccinated people continue to take COVID-19 precautions, such as wearing a mask, social distancing, washing hands frequently and avoiding crowds when in public, when visiting with unvaccinated people from multiple other households, and when around unvaccinated people who are at high risk of getting severely ill from COVID-19.

CDC Issues Updated Guidance on Travel for Fully Vaccinated People

National Library Week (April 5 - 9, 2021) National Library Week (April 5 - 9, 2021) is a time to celebrate our nation’s libraries, library workers’ contributions and promote library use and support.

The theme for National Library Week 2021 is “Welcome to Your Library.”

During the pandemic, library workers continue to exceed their communities’ demands and adapt resources and services to meet their users’ needs during these challenging times.

Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer endless opportunities to transform lives through education and lifelong learning.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and observed in libraries across the country each April. All types of libraries - school, public,

academic and special - participate.

Each year thousands of visitors take advantage of Rio Grande City Public Library’s resources. April 6, is National Library Workers Day (NLWD), a great time to thank library employees for their contributions. Remember -- the Rio Grande City Public Library works because they do.

Texas Businesses: April 15 is Deadline for Property Tax Renditions Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar reminds business owners that for many property types, April 15 is the deadline to file property tax renditions with their county appraisal districts. Different deadlines apply for certain regulated property.

A rendition is a list of the taxable inventory, furniture and fixtures, machinery, equipment and other property owned or managed as of Jan. 1 each year. The appraisal district may use the information to set property values.

A rendition allows property owners to record their opinion of their property’s value and ensures that the appraisal district notifies property owners before changing a recorded value. Exempt property, such as church property and equipment used for farming,

is not subject to rendition.

Owners whose property was damaged by storm, flood or fire last year may file a special decreased value report that indicates the property’s condition on Jan. 1, 2021. Filing the decreased value report could lower those owners’ final tax bills for 2021.

Rendition forms and decreased value report forms are available from county appraisal district offices statewide and can be downloaded at the Comptroller’s property tax forms webpage.

For more information about property rendition, deadlines, deadline extensions, penalties and rendition forms, taxpayers may contact the Comptroller’s Property Tax Assistance Division at 800-252-9121 (press 2) or visit the division’s website.

LEGAL NOTICE DSHS launches Texas Public Health Vaccine Scheduler Application has been made with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission for a WINE AND BEER R E TA I L E R ’ S O N PREMISES PERMIT, by: MARIA LETICIA BARRERA dba LA VALLA RESTAURANT, to be located at 2734 US HIGHWAY 83, ROMA, S TA R R C O U N T Y, TEXAS.

Registration available for vaccine clinics by DSHS and some other public health entities As Texas opens COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to everyone age 16 and older, the Texas Department of State Health Services is launching the Texas Public Health Vaccine Scheduler.

The scheduler gives people one place to sign up for a COVID-19 shot through multiple public health departments, including the eight DSHS public health regions, which provide public health services in nearly 200 Texas counties, and more than a dozen local health entities across the state.

Texas residents can visit getthevaccine.dshs.texas.gov to create a profile that includes their contact information, demographic details, and preferred time of day and days of the week for an appointment. Within a day, people eligible to be vaccinated will be matched with the next available appointment within their home county and preferred

times. If none are available, the scheduler will continue to search for appointments as new clinics are scheduled and contact individuals when they have an appointment.

While most people will sign up online, a toll-free number is available to assist special populations that have difficulty using the online registration tool, including older adults over age 65, people with disabilities, and those with limited Internet access or other barriers to using technology. People in those groups can call 1-833-832-7067 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week to enroll in the scheduler and get help making an appointment. If there is no a participating health department in their area, they will be referred to local providers conducting vaccination near them.

The Texas Public Health Vaccine Scheduler will not replace all COVID-19 vaccine registration in the state. Many entities – including pharmacies,

medical practices and some public health departments – are operating their own registration systems and will continue to do so. People who want to be vaccinated should continue to look for available vaccine at those providers, as well. Links to other vaccine scheduling tools are available at dshs.texas.gov/ coronavirus/immunize/vaccine.

Rotary Club of Rio Grande City announces winners of 4-Way Test SPEECH CONTEST for High School students at RGCCISD The Rotary Club of Rio Grande City p r o u d l y announces the winners of their 2021, 4 Way Test Speech Club Contest held virtually on March 12, 2021. The contest provides a challenging way for students to develop critical thinking, ethical decision making and public speaking skills.

All the students gave excellent speeches and were judged by a 3-person panel. The winning students are seniors at Grulla High School. Noemi Cavazos received 1st place, Hiram Flores received 2nd place, and Daniel Reyna received 3rd place. Mr. Sebastian Dougherty served as their academic

sponsor.

The purpose of the 5 to 7-minute speech is to apply the principles of Rotary International’s 4 Way Test to a current ethical issue. Students are challenged to identify a topic they feel passionate about and to adopt a point of view from which they will seek to persuade others. The contest takes place at Club, Area and District levels. Contestants compete at the Club Contest, and the top winner

advances to the Area Contest, and if successful, goes onto the District Contest. In addition to recognition, students also win scholarship awards at each of the contests. Rio Grande City Rotary Club level awarded $300 for 1st place, $200 for 2nd place and $100 for 3rd place.

The 4 Way Test of things we think, say or do consists of four simple questions: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4.Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Over the years, the Rotary Club

of Rio Grande City has partnered with RGCCISD and offered this opportunity to their high school students. Feedback about this program from teachers, students and parents has been consistently positive and has strengthened ties to the local community.

“Participation in the 4-Way Test Speech Contest reflects that a student cherishes truth, friendship, goodwill and what is in the interest of the greater common good. These are all qualities that college recruiters value when selecting students,” said Dalinda Guillen, Rio Grande City Rotary President.

Date: April 7, 2021

Property Owners Should Soon Start Receiving Appraisal Notices for the 2021Tax Year You may soon receive an appraisal notice from the Starr County Appraisal District. The appraisal district mailed about 15,500 appraisal notices on March 26, 2021. Your city, county, school district and other local taxing units will use the appraisal district’s value to set your 2021 property taxes.

Under Texas law, county appraisal districts are required to notify property owners about changes in their property’s value. The notice contains important information about the property’s location, ownership and property tax exemptions that apply to the property. It must also include an estimate of the taxes by local taxing units if your property value increased in the last year.

Property owners who disagree with the appraised value of their property, the exemptions or any other action by the appraisal district have the right to appeal to the Starr County Appraisal Review Board (ARB). The ARB is an independent panel of citizens responsible for hearing and settling property owner protests. The notice of appraised value includes instructions on how and when to file a protest, a protest form and the Comptroller’s Property Taxpayer Remedies. The deadline for filing a protest with the ARB is May 15 or 30 days after your notice of appraised value was delivered to you.

The Comptroller’s publication, Property Taxpayer Remedies, explains in detail how to protest your property appraisal, what issues the ARB can consider and what to expect during a protest hearing. The publication also discusses the options of taking your case to district court, the State Office of Administrative Hearings or binding arbitration if you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your ARB hearing.

Property Taxpayer Remedies is available from the Starr County Appraisal District at

100 N. FM 3167, Ste. 300 Rio Grande City, Texas 78582 Ph. (956) 487-5613 www.starrcad.org

Property Taxpayer Remedies is available from the Starr County Appraisal District at The publication is also available on the Comptroller’s Property Tax Assistance Division’s website at comptroller.texas.gov/ taxes/property-tax/.

Historical Starr County May 1947 – The Purchase of Fort Ringgold A Frontier Fort – An Educational Complex – Rio’s Jewel In 1944 most all the soldiers were serving or had serve in World War II. The war was coming to and end and Fort Ringgold was to closed and would no longer serve its purpose.

The “Big” question for Rio Grande City/Starr County was what would be the future of the fort?

The fort had been off limits to the community for years and many had never seen the inside of the fort. Rio was growing and local school board members sought the opportunity to purchase the fort and make it into an education complex.

The Department of the Interior had declared the fort as surplus US property and developed a book of sale. The book of sale described the items inside the fort. The items listed included: barracks, a hospital, mess hall, an auditorium, officer quarters, Enlisted non-commissioned officer’s quarters, storage facilities, stables, motor pool, polo field, ammunition magazines, a landing strip, fire department equipment, tennis court, swimming pool, bakery house, guard house, water plant, ice plant and a parade field.

The book of sale in general described what a new school district could need to meet the growing needs of the community and made sense for a transition to a school campus. In 1947, the purchase was final and within one year the Fort became Fort Ringgold School Campus and locally known as the “el campo”. It was a clear transition as the barracks became classrooms, the mess hall became the cafeteria, the post hospital became district nurse’s office and the high school’s home economics building, the motor pool became the bus farm, the administration building became the band hall and the guard

house became the principal’s office and so on.

The day of the purchase was a huge day for Rio and the town’s people celebrated. The photo shows the excitement and determination from our community members who made the purchase possible. Today, the photo hangs at the Fort’s Robert E. Lee House museum.

These men and women had a vision for the fort and made every effort to keep the fort alive with a “new” mission. Today, Fort Ringgold continues to serve as part of the school district with a less presence of students and more of a presence of school administration. The fort shows its

wrinklies as it grows old. Buildings are in dire need of repair. Recently the local school board announced several renovations efforts to save the fort and to prepare for the forts 175th Anniversary (1848-2023). The process has started, and Fort Ringgold will be saved and once again it will be celebrated by the community. The Fort is truly a jewel for Rio as no other community in the valley or the state as Rio can claim that we one of the best-preserved frontier forts in the State.
