Starr County Judge Eloy Vera and the Commissioners Court proclaimed August 1117 as American Wind Week in Starr County as per a resolution presented on August 12, 2019 during Commissioners’ Court. Wind power is one of the largest sources of renewable energy in Texas, making Texas one of the top five states in producing wind energy, making up for 25 percent of the nation’s wind electricity generated in the past 3 (three) years. Wind Energy plays a sizeable role
in the prosperity of our community by bringing in millions of dollars in project investment by infusing the local economy with financial benefits to local property owners as well as state and local tax base. “WHEREAS, Texas hosts nearly 25,000 megawatts of wind power capacity, ranking 1st in the nation and producing enough electricity to power about 7.3 million average homes. WHEREAS, Texas is home to 143 wind farms and 46 windrelated manufacturing facilities….” Reads the proclamation signed
by Judge Eloy Vera and the Starr County Commissioners. Miss Rose Benavidez – Starr County Industrial Foundation President commended Judge Eloy Vera, Starr County Commissioners and the local Municipalities for being visionaries and playing an active role in moving wind projects forward for a greater Starr County. Judge Eloy Vera invited all of the elected officials present at the meeting to join him and the commissioners for a picture to commemorate this historic event.
The Rio Grande City High School Marching Band will be debuting new competition marching tops this marching season. The Mighty Rattler Band is keeping up with the trend amongst top tier marching programs across Texas that feature competition tops that tie in to the theme of the programmed show.
The Rattler Band’s 2019-2020 show is entitled “By the River” and features selections about rivers or songs that have rivers in the lyrics. The marching band coordinator commented, “This is a very smart move on the part of the band and the district’s administration. Many top level
marching programs are doing this and the result is a better overall thematic connection between the music and the visual aspect of the show and its performance and presentation. The result is a chance to score more points on several captions that deal with General Effect and thusly increases the
Congratulations to Roma High School Choir Program student Jacob Cruz on being named a UIL Outstanding Performer in the 2019 Texas State Solo-Ensemble Vocal Solo Contest! Of the approximately 100,000 students participating in the regional UIL music contests and the 25,000 musicians who competed, only 2 to 3 percent of the solo performances earned the distinguished honor of being recognized as an outstanding performer. In honor of his recognition Jacob was awarded a State Champion UIL Medallion. “We are extremely proud of Jacob and the hard work that went into this accomplishment including hours of practice to accomplish this goal,” said Roma ISD Superintendent Carlos Guzman. “Roma ISD is committed to our performing
arts programs because we know involvement in music leads to personal and academic success, and has been scientifically proven to lead to higher scores in math and science. We congratulate Jacob, his teachers Alicia Pena and Miguel Martinez, PAC Director Dr. Adrian Guerra, and especially Jacob’s supportive parents.”
