Martin Roque Perez “Rocky” July 11, 1964 † Jan. 18, 2021 Martin Roque Perez, “Rocky” 56, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, Jan. 18, 2021. Roque was born in McAllen on July 11, 1964 to Toraldo C. Perez, Jr. of Rio Grande City and Maria Minerva Garcia of Premont, Tx. Roque had deep roots in Rio Grande City and was the loving grandson of Josefa Hinojosa Perez and Toraldo C. Perez, Sr., pioneer families of Starr Co. Roque graduated with a B.A. from Pan American U. in 1986, and a M.S. in Education Administration from Texas A&M University in Kingsville in 1995.

Throughout his educational career he was a member of

various school districts and held several different roles. He taught and counseled for Donna ISD, and was a Principal for MidValley Academy over Mercedes and McAllen Campuses. He retired as Assistant Principal in La Joya ISD. Roque loved to spend time with his loved ones at the beach, fishing, and eating at different restaurants. Rocky’s laughter and sense of humor were a light to all those around him and so was his warm and vibrant personality and his love and devotion to God. He was always willing to be of help to others who were in need.

As Roque entered the gates of Heaven, he was reunited with his loving Mother, Mine. He leaves behind to cherish his memories of his loving wife, Rosalinda Perez, a daughter, Andrea Perez, his father, Toraldo Casimiro Perez, Jr., a brother, Jorge Perez, and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and a loving extended family.

Roque touched many lives and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service will be celebrated at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 11, 2021 at Memorial Funeral Home in San Juan, Texas. Please join us in honoring our loved one, Martin Roque Perez.

8 grandchildren, 2 greatgrandchildren, and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

He was a self-employed gunsmith since 1977. He was sought by many, near and far because of his skills as a gunsmith. An article which was written about Baldo and his trait in 1981 referenced the saying “You can’t bring a good man down.” This rings true as he faced and overcame many obstacles to be South Texas’ best gunsmith. He enjoyed teaching and passing on his trade to his sons. He loved spending time with his family, going fishing and hunting which he instilled the same pastimes to his children and grandchildren. He leaves behind many stories of his childhood and unforgettable memories with his family. He will be remembered by those who knew him for his good cheer, sense of humor, and genuine personality.

The Garcia - Laurel family extends our most sincere thank you for the beautiful funeral flower arrangements, sympathy cards, food, texts, calls and visits to the funeral home and cemetery. We would also like to thank Pax Villa Hospice & Palliative Care, Retama Manor Health and Rehabilitation Center for their incredible services and Sanchez Funeral Home for providing their professional services during our difficult time.

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou are with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Governor Abbott, HHSC Announce Extension of Emergency SNAP Benefits for February 2021

On February 2, 2021, Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) will provide approximately $300 million in emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits for the month of February as the state continues its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are grateful for this additional extension of emergency SNAP benefits for the month of February,” said Governor Abbott.

“We will continue to provide Texas families with the resources they need to put food on the table and

provide for their loved ones.”

“These emergency food benefits will provide additional support for Texans to purchase nutritious foods for their families during the ongoing pandemic,” said Texas HHS Access and Eligibility Services Deputy Executive Commissioner Wayne Salter.

HHSC received federal approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to extend the maximum, allowable amount of SNAP benefits to recipients based on family size. The emergency February allotments are in addition to the more than $2 billion in

benefits previously provided to Texans since April 2020.

Recipients will also continue to receive a 15 percent increase in their total benefits, which will continue monthly until June 2021. This additional 15 percent increase and the emergency allotment amount should appear in recipients’ accounts by Feb. 28.

Texans in need can apply for benefits, including SNAP and Medicaid, at YourTexasBenefits. com or use the Your Texas Benefits mobile app to manage their benefits.

feet apart and encouraging donors to make donation appointments ahead of time. Appointments can ensure donors are not spending more time at the donation center than is absolutely necessary, reducing the likelihood that they have contact with someone who may have COVID-19 but not know it.

In addition, the Red Cross notes it has instituted additional safety protocols, such as laundering blankets used by donors after each use and requiring all donors and donation center staff to wear face coverings or masks during the donation process.

As of Feb. 1, 2021, applicants for the TDLR Journeyman Electrician license can sign up to take the licensing test once they have acquired at least 7,000 hours of on-the-job training under a Texas-licensed Master Electrician.

Previously, applicants had to have amassed all of the 8,000 training hours before they could sign up to take the licensing examination. The full 8,000 hours are still required for licensure.

“Allowing applicants to start testing once they’ve reached 7,000 hours of experience will help us get more Journeymen Electricians to work, faster,” said

TDLR Executive Director Brian E. Francis. “If they’ve already passed their exams once they’ve completed the required work hours, we can get them licensed – and to work – faster, which is great for them, and great for Texas. Demand for Journeyman Electricians is high, and this will help meet that demand.”

Ha pasado más de un año desde que el mundo se enteró del nuevo coronavirus COVID-19. Desde diciembre de 2019, ha habido decenas de millones de casos reportados y casi dos millones de muertes en todo el mundo atribuidas al COVID-19, según datos del Centro de Ciencia e Ingeniería de Sistemas de la Universidad Johns Hopkins.

Los expertos aún no tienen claro qué tan prevalente es realmente el virus porque una gran cantidad de casos no se reportan debido a infecciones leves o asintomáticas. Pero no se puede negar que el COVID-19 puede ser muy peligroso para un gran segmento de la población.

Las posibilidades de contraer una enfermedad grave por COVID-19 aumentan con la edad, y los adultos mayores tienen el mayor riesgo, ofrece los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades. El CDC indica además que ocho de cada 10 muertes por COVID-19 reportadas en los Estados Unidos han sido en adultos mayores de 65 años. En comparación con los adultos más jóvenes, las personas mayores tienen más probabilidades de requerir hospitalización si contraen la enfermedad. Las personas entre 75 y 84 años tienen ocho veces más probabilidades de ser hospitalizadas y 220 veces más probabilidades de morir por COVID-19 que los pacientes más jóvenes.

Existen algunas razones clave por las que los adultos mayores tienen un mayor riesgo.

Vineet Menachery, inmunólogo de la Rama Médica de la Universidad de Texas que estudia los coronavirus y sus efectos sobre el envejecimiento del sistema inmunológico, los adultos mayores tienen más probabilidades de sufrir afecciones subyacentes que

pueden obstaculizar la capacidad del cuerpo para recuperarse de una enfermedad. Además, una mayor propensión a la inflamación en el cuerpo y los cambios en la forma en que el sistema inmunológico responde con la edad son otros mecanismos que aumentan el riesgo de las personas mayores de contraer COVID-19. Además, COVID-19 afecta la parte de los pulmones que suministra oxígeno al torrente sanguíneo y elimina el dióxido de carbono. A medida que una persona envejece, los pulmones no son tan elásticos y esto puede afectar el intercambio de gases y otras funciones. Ser mayor junto con enfermedades cardiovasculares, asma y diabetes también pueden aumentar el nivel de amenaza del COVID-19.

Las personas mayores deben ser muy diligentes para participar en comportamientos que reduzcan sus riesgos. Los epidemiólogos recomiendan lo siguiente: ·Lávese o desinfecte las manos siempre que sea posible, especialmente al entrar y salir de edificios públicos. ·Compre y viaje durante las horas de menor actividad, como temprano en la mañana, para evitar las multitudes. ·Utilice métodos de pago sin contacto en lugar de manejar dinero. ·Pídale a sus amigos y familiares que hagan sus compras y le hagan recados. · Use mascarillas sobre la nariz y la boca y manténgase al menos a seis pies de distancia de los demás. · Si tiene disponible la vacuna COVID-19, pregúntele más a su médico y vacúnese si es seguro hacerlo.

¿Sabías?

La era moderna a menudo se conoce como la “era digital”, pero la relación de la humanidad con la ciencia y la tecnología se remonta mucho más allá del siglo XXI. Según Wired.com, en 2006 los científicos confirmaron que un dispositivo descubierto en 1900 entre los restos de un antiguo naufragio mediterráneo era una computadora analógica.

Se creía que el dispositivo,

desde entonces denominado “Computadora Antikythera”, ayudaba a calcular los ciclos astronómicos para que los marineros pudieran navegar más fácilmente entre Alejandría y Atenas.

La computadora de Antikythera data del siglo primero A.C., lo que demuestra que la fascinación del hombre por los aparatos es antigua y ha estado dando dividendos durante milenios.

atención médica preventiva . Los exámenes de detección específicos para adultos mayores pueden ayudarlos a mantenerse saludables. Healthline y WebMD recomiendan que los adultos mayores programen estas pruebas de rutina. La frecuencia de las pruebas de detección puede depender de los antecedentes de salud de las personas, por lo que cada prueba debe discutirse con un médico durante las revisiones anuales de adultos. ·Control de presión arterial ·Análisis de sangre para controlar los niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos ·Examen de cáncer colorrectal a partir de los 50 años

·Examen de peso para comprobar si hay pérdidas o ganancias ·Examen de detección de cáncer de próstata para hombres de 70 años o más ·Examen de mamas y mamografía para mujeres, a partir de los 40 años ·Prueba de Papanicolaou y pruebas de VPH en los intervalos recomendados por un médico ·Prueba de audición ·Prueba de osteoporosis ·Vacunas contra el herpes zóster y neumococo ·Examen de la vista ·Examen periodontal una vez al año

Children, adolescents and young adults likely cannot imagine a life without modern technology. Technology may have pervaded every part of life in the 21st century, but it wasn’t so long ago that phones were still attached to walls and people had to watch their favorite shows and films exclusively on televisions instead of having the option to watch them on devices like smartphones and tablets.

The transition to life in the age of technology went smoothly for most segments of the population, but some aging adults have had a more difficult time making the adjustment. That difficulty was apparent throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, when public health agencies like the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged aging adults to limit interactions with people outside their homes. Such recommendations forced many seniors to communicate with their families exclusively over the phone or via video conferencing apps like Zoom.

If seniors have had a hard time adapting to technology, their families can try these strategies to make that transition go more smoothly. ·Go over product manuals with seniors. The senior caregiving experts at Home Care Assistance note that older adults are less likely to learn through experimentation than they are by reading instructions in the

manual. When helping seniors learn to use new devices, go over the owner’s manual with them as you set up the device. Mark important pages in the manual so seniors know where to go for quick answers if they experience any issues logging in or using certain apps. ·Look for senior-specific devices and guidebooks. Seniors make up an enormous segment of the population, and tech companies have long since recognized that there’s a market for products designed specifically for aging men and women.

When shopping for devices for seniors, look for those that have been designed to help them overcome issues that have proven problematic for aging adults in the past. Devices that feature touchscreens with large menus, easily accessible navigation tools and simplified features can help seniors as they learn to use new technology. ·Be patient. Some seniors are excited by the prospect of learning to use new technology, while others may be hesitant.

Patience is essential when working with an aging loved one who’s intimidated by technology.

Take the time to explain apps and features and don’t take it for granted that seniors will know how to use a device or recognize what a device can do.

Today’s seniors may not have grown up with technology at their fingertips, but they can still learn to use devices to their advantage.
