hope that this helps toward that endeavor,” said Representative Ryan Guillen of the increase in funding.

This year, the 86th legislature passed a public school funding overhaul in HB 3, a bill that Guillen was an author of, changing funding formulas and adding new dollars to the state public education system.

Serving ten rural South Texas counties in the Texas House of Representatives, Ryan Guillen is known for his hard work, fierce independence, and relentless efforts for South Texas families. Recently, Capitol Inside called him a “House Bill Machine,” and a “one-person assembly line for legislation.” Since elected, few other legislators have passed more bills than Guillen.

Ramiro Omar (Rambo) Fuentes Feb. 4, 1984 † Aug. 19, 2006

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 God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at 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.

Rambo, We Love You!

Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Monday, August 19, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. at the Immaculate Conception Church

Lo que necesita saber sobre el censo

The 2020 Census is closer than you think! Here’s a quick refresher of what it is and why it’s essential everyone is counted. ¡El censo del 2020 está más cerca de lo que piensas! A continuación un rápido repaso de lo que es y por qué es esencial que todos seamos contados.

Everyone Counts The census counts every person living in the U.S. once, only once and in the right place.

Todos cuentan El censo cuenta a cada persona viviendo en los Estados Unidos solo una vez y en el lugar correcto.

It’s in the Constitution The U.S Constitution requires a census every 10 years. The

census covers the entire country and everyone living there. The first census was in 1790.

Está en la constitución La constitución de los Estados Unidos requiere un censo cada 10 años. El censo cubre el país entero y todos los que viven ahí.

El primer censo fue en 1790.

It’s about fair representation Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to reapportion the House of Representatives, determining how many seats each state gets.

Se trata de representación justa Cada 10 años, los resultados del censo son usados para redistribuir la Cámara de los

representantes y así determinar cuántos asientos cada estado recibe.

It’s about $675 billion Census data determine how more than $675 billion are spent, supporting your state, country and community’s vital programs.

Se trata de $675 billones La información obtenida en el censo determina como más de $675 billones de dólares serán gastados, apoyando a tu estado, país y programas vitales en tu comunidad.

It’s about redistricting After each census, state officials use the results to redraw the boundaries of their congressional and state legislative districts,

adapting to population shifts.

Se trata de la redistribución de distritos Después de cada censo, oficiales del estado usan los resultados para delinear los límites de sus distritos legislativos del Congreso y del Estado, adaptándose a los cambios de población.

Taking part is your civic duty Completing the census is required: it’s a way to participate in our democracy and say “I COUNT!” Participar es tu deber civil Participar en el censo es un requisito: Es una manera de participar en nuestra democracia y decir “YO CUENTO”.

STARR COUNTY TOWN CRIER, AUGUST 14, 2019, PAGE 8

Stay Safe this Labor Day Holiday -- Spread the Word: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over During the 2019 Labor Day holiday, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, will partner with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to get

drunk drivers off the roads and help save lives.

The high-visibility national enforcement campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, runs from Aug. 14 through Sept. 2,

2019. During this period, local law enforcement will show zero tolerance for drunk driving.

Increased state and national messages about the dangers of driving impaired, coupled with

enforcement and increased officers on the road, aim to drastically reduce drunk driving on U.S. roadways.

Unfortunately, statistics prove that there is still a lot of work to do to put an end to drunk driving.

According to NHTSA, 10,874 people were killed in drunkdriving crashes in 2017. On average, 10,000 people were killed each year from 2013 to 2017 — one person was killed in drunkdriving crashes every 48 minutes in 2017. That’s the equivalent of 20 jumbo jets crashing each year, with no survivors. This is why Texas A&M AgriLife Extension is working with NHTSA to remind drivers that drunk driving is not only illegal, it is a matter of life and death.

During the 2017 Labor Day holiday period (6 p.m., Sept. 1, until 5:59 a.m., Sept. 5), there

were 376 vehicle crash fatalities nationwide. Forty-four percent of those fatalities involved drivers who had been drinking (.01+ BAC). More than one-third (36 percent) of the fatalities involved drivers who were drunk (.08+ BAC), and more than one-fourth (26 percent) involved drivers who were driving with a BAC almost twice the legal limit (.15+ BAC).

Age is a particularly risky factor: Among drivers between the ages of 18 and 34 who were killed in crashes over the Labor Day holiday period in 2017, 42 percent of those drivers were drunk, with BACs of .08 or higher.

“Labor Day should be a time for friends and family to come together to enjoy the last days of summer,” said Yolanda Morado, CEA- FCH – Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office. “We need commitment from our community members

that they’ll keep the streets free of drunk drivers so that everyone can have a safe holiday. This is a to get the message out that drunk driving is illegal and it takes lives.

Help us put an end to this senseless behavior.”

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and NHTSA are working together to provide citizens with resources and information to get them home safely. Yolanda Morado reminds citizens that: “Drunk driving is not acceptable behavior. It is essential to plan a sober ride home before you ever leave for the party. That’s why, during the Labor Day holiday, we will make zero exceptions for drunk driving. There are just no excuses.”

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s Watch UR BAC program recommends these safe alternatives to drinking and driving: •Remember that it is never OK to drink and drive. Even if you’ve had only one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober driver or plan to use public transportation, or use a ride sharing service to get home safely.

•If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact Rio Grande City Police Department (956) 4878892.

•Have a friend who is about to drink and drive? Take the keys away and make arrangements to get them home safely.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service’s Watch UR BAC program is funded by TxDOT and is provided at no charge to promote alcohol awareness, the dangers of impaired driving, and friends watching out for friends. Contact: Lauren Verfurth, lauren.verfurth@ ag.tamu.edu, for booking information.

RIO GRANDE CITY CISD The Rio Grande City CISD Transportation Department is ready for a new and safe school year. We emphasize school bus safety with our on-going hands-on school bus safety training to all of our students and staff. We ask that parents encourage their sons/daughters to follow bus conduct rules and school bus safety tips so our school bus drivers can concentrate better in providing a safer bus trip to and from school. If you have any questions regarding bus routes and/or campus schedules, please call us at 716-6838.

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY TIPS • • • • • •

Get to the bus stop five minutes early.

Stand away from the curb ~ at least ten feet from bus.

Sit quietly in seat.

Be quiet at train crossings.

Do not wear clothing with loose strings.

Make sure backpack straps are short and do not get caught on handrail or in the bus door.

• When stepping off bus, look to make sure no cars are passing on the shoulder.

• Before crossing the street, take five giant steps out from the front of the bus, or until the driver can see you.

TIPS FOR DRIVING IN SCHOOL ZONE • Put away your cell phone. Cell phone use is banned in active school zones, and violators face fines of up to $200 in school zones where signs are posted.

• Always obey school zone speed limit signs.

Remember,traffic fines usually double in school zones.

• Drop off and pick up your children in your school’s designated areas, not the middle of the street.

• Keep an eye on children gathered at bus stops.

• Be alert for children who might dart across the street or between vehicles on their way to school.

To our community motorists, we would like to remind them that in Texas it’s unlawful to pass a stopped school bus while the bus has activated its mechanical stop sign and flashing red lights for the purpose of receiving and discharging passengers. Also, the use of cell phones are not allowed in school zones and school property.

Texas School Bus Law

Sec. 545.066. PASSING A SCHOOL BUS; OFFENSE. (a) An operator on a highway, when approaching from either direction a school bus stopped on the highway to receive or discharge a student:(1) shall stop before reaching the school bus when the bus is operating a visual signal as required by Section 547.701; and(2) may not proceed until:(A) the school bus resumes motion;(B) the operator is signaled by the bus driver

to proceed; or(C) the visual signal is no longer actuated. (b) An operator on a highway having separate roadways is not required to stop:(1) for a school bus that is on a different roadway; or(2) if on a controlledaccess highway, for a school bus that is stopped:(A) in a loading zone that is a part of or adjacent to the highway; and(B) where pedestrians are not permitted to cross the roadway.(c) An offense under this section

is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $500 or more than $1,250, except that the offense is:(1) a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $1,000 or more than $2,000 if the person is convicted of a second or subsequent offense under this section committed within five years of the date on which the most recent preceding offense was committed;(2) a Class A misdemeanor if the person causes serious

bodily injury to another; or(3) a state jail felony if the person has been previously convicted under Subdivision (2).(d) The court may order that the driver’s license of a person convicted of a second or subsequent offense under this section be suspended for not longer than six months beginning on the date of conviction.

In this subsection, “driver’s license” has the meaning assigned by Chapter 521.(e) If a person does not pay

the previously assessed fine or costs on a conviction under this section, or is determined by the court to have insufficient resources or income to pay a fine or costs on a conviction under this section, the court may order the person to perform community service. The court shall set the number of hours of service under this subsection.(f) For the purposes of this section:(1) a highway is considered to have separate roadways

only if the highway has roadways separated by an intervening space on which operation of vehicles is not permitted, a physical barrier, or a clearly indicated dividing section constructed to impede vehicular traffic; and(2) a highway is not considered to have separate roadways if the highway has roadways separated only by a left turn lane.

Popular Classroom Learning Apps It is impossible to ignore the immense popularity of digital learning tools in today’s schools.

Teachers routinely turn to online tools and available applications to offer students all the resources they need to become well-rounded individuals.

According to research from Grunwald Associates, LLC, 71 percent of parents embrace mobile devices and feel they open up learning opportunities for kids that didn’t previously exist.

The research also suggests that a similar percentage of parents would like teachers to recommend apps for students.

Navigating learning apps can be daunting due to the sheer volume of apps available. According to Apps for Education, there are more than 500,000 educational apps currently available for download.

Apps can be stimulating and fun, but finding quality resources may involve sorting through those that aren’t necessarily valuable. The following are some apps parents may want to consider. · Memrise: Learning a second or third language can be a boon to students of any age. Some schools may be limited in the number of languages they offer. Therefore, an app may be a great resource for students looking to learn a new language. Memrise drills students on vocabulary, phrases, aural recognition, and more. · Kahoot: Kahoot is a platform to create games and review content. Players answer questions on their individual devices, while games are displayed on a shared screen. Kahoot can be an ideal way for several students to prepare

for a test in a digital study session.

This · Reading Eggs: comprehensive learning system covers essential components of reading: awareness, vocabulary, phonics, fluency, and comprehension. Parents can see progress reports and know if and where extra attention may be necessary. · Edmodo: This app is designed to streamline workloads for teachers and help make it easier for them to stay connected with the classroom and their students.

Parents can set up accounts and stay abreast of their children’s activities, grades, messages, and progress. Though it’s not a learning app, Edmodo can be a valuable tool for classroom management. · Epic: This online children’s subscription book service offers immediate, on-demand access to high-quality reading materials for children ages 12 and under. Voracious readers will always have content they can access, in addition to audio books, educational videos, and educational quizzes. · Photomath: This app enables students to snap pictures of complicated math problems and get step-by-step directions on how to answer them. Instead of simply giving the answer, Photomath provides students with the tools to answer the problems on their own. · StudyBlue: Students can create and share mobile flash cards, study guides, quizzes, and choose from other study materials to help reinforce lessons.

Educational apps play a vital role in educating today’s students.

NOVENA “Miraculous Prayer”

R. G. C.

Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for favors. This time I ask you this very special one (mention favor). Take it, Dear Jesus, and place it within your own heart, where your Father sees it. Then, in your merciful eyes it will become your favor, not mine. Amen.

Say this prayer for three days, promise publication and favor will be granted. Never known to fail.

Vine snapdragons should be in more gardens V i n e snapdragons are delicate and rather dense native vines which seldom exceed 6 feet in length. They have small triangular leaves and produce snapdragon shaped flowers from March through October.

The flowers arise along the vine from where the leaf-stems (petioles) are attached and are single, not in spikes like true snapdragons. On native plants the flowers are colored bluish-purple with white throats but on cultivars, now available for sale, can be pink, lavender or even white. The flowers are only an

inch or slightly larger and so need to be planted where they can be enjoyed up-close.

Vine snapdragons, also amusingly called roving sailors (due to the leaf shape perhaps), can grow supported on trellises, in hanging baskets or be left to become a sprawling ground cover (not to be walked on). Since they’re relatively small, they’re suitable for small gardens.

I’ve noticed that, while some vines use tendrils for attachment, the vine snapdragons use elongated petioles coiled around their supports.

They’re perennial and can reseed themselves and thrive in a variety of soils; they do especially well in calcareous, well drained soils. Full sun is acceptable but afternoon shade is helpful in hot

climates and occasional watering promotes more abundant bloom.

They may die back to the ground for the winter.

For those of you who enjoy wildlife, these roving sailors are the host plant for the common buckeye butterfly and hummingbirds enjoy their nectar.

I should tell you that the taxonomists have recently been making changes in the vine’s scientific name. Consequently, if you want to buy plants or seeds, while the current name is Maurandella antirrhiniflora, you may find them still listed under the old genus name Asarina.

These snapdragon vines have much to recommend them including easy care, modest size and long bloom season. Enjoy them in the wild and in the garden.

Symptoms of Dyslexia Learning disabilities can make it difficult for kids to reach their full potential. Such disabilities can sometimes be hard to spot, and youngsters might be hesitant to self-report symptoms or problems they’re experiencing out of shame or a fear of being seen as different from their classmates.

Dyslexia, which the Child Mind® Institute notes is now part of the diagnosis “specific learning disorder,” an umbrella term that groups together reading, writing and math disorders, is one type of learning disability that can compromise students’ abilities to perform in the classroom.

The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity notes that the signs of dyslexia can appear as early as preschool. Such signs may differ depending on the age of the child, but parents can look for the following ones that might indicate the presence of dyslexia.

Preschool Preschool-aged children may exhibit various symptoms that may be indicative of

dyslexia. Difficulty learning and remembering the names of letters in the alphabet and an inability to recognize letters in their own names are such symptoms.

Children who mispronounce familiar words, continue to speak in “baby talk” and experience trouble learning common nursery rhymes also may be experiencing dyslexia. The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity also notes that dyslexia tends to run in families, so parents who had their own difficulties reading and/or spelling words should pay special attention to how their children handle these tasks.

Kindergarten and first grade Children in this age group who disappear when it is time to read and/or complain about the difficulty of reading may do so because they are dealing with dyslexia. Another potential indicator is reading errors that show no connection to the sounds of the letters on the page.

For example, children who say “puppy” when an illustration on a page is a dog. Difficulty sounding

out simple words like “cat” also may indicate dyslexia.

Second grade through high school Symptoms that appear during these years of a child’s life may include slow, awkward reading; trouble reading familiar words and often compensating by making wild guesses because the child cannot sound out the word; and an unwillingness to read out loud. Kids in this age group who are dealing with dyslexia also may not have a strategy for reading new words.

Children in this age group also may exhibit signs of dyslexia through their speech.

For example, the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity says some may search for a specific word only to end up using a vague term, such as “stuff.” Hesitation when speaking and language peppered with “um’s” is another potential indicator that a child might be dyslexic.

Dyslexia cannot be cured, but it can be overcome. Early

screening, diagnosis and intervention can help young people become successful adults.
