I am asking Starr County to continue to place your trust in me as Starr County Democratic Chair.

I have held this position since 2008. It is a service that I am proud to provide for my community. As Chair, my main duty and objective is to ensure that our primary elections in which we nominate our county, state, and national candidates run smoothly. I first ran

for this position because I am very interested in public service and I am always eager to be of help.I am a native of Rio Grande City. I am the proud daughter of the late Jesus “Chuy” Solis and Amanda Solis.

My father’s long history in politics inspired my own passion to become a public servant. My mother, a longtime educator, inspired my love for all things academic.

I graduated from Rio Grande City High School in 1993. I followed both my brothers to Texas A&M University College Station and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History from there in 1997. Upon graduation, I came back to Rio Grande City to teach high school English for a year.

In 1999, I followed my (and my parents’) dreams and enrolled in St. Mary’s University School of Law. It was a tough journey for me as my father was very ill and died before I

could hand him my diploma. But I knew that he was with me in spirit as it had long been a dream of his to see at least one of his children become an attorney. My brother Juan A. Solis, also an attorney, and I were happy to fulfill his dream. My brother Jesus A. Solis, Jr. pursued his own calling and is a beloved pharmacist here in Rio Grande City. Both my parents were fierce advocates for education and instilled in us a deep respect for it as well. They both emphasized that the only inheritance they could leave us was our education and for this I am forever grateful. Upon becoming a licensed attorney, I returned to Rio Grande City. For many years I served as the Assistant County Attorney for Starr County.

This was a position I loved as it afforded me not only a living but the invaluable opportunity to be an advocate for victims.

I am forever thankful that I was able to represent the state of Texas in this role. I was also able to be a champion for victims of domestic violence. It also allowed me to become very informed of the processes of county government,

RIO TITLE LOANS “SIMPLEMENTE COBRAMOS MENOS” INCOME TITLE TAX

and of the election system. As such, I ran to become the County Chair to help organize and take charge of our local primary elections.

The position of County Chair, though unpaid and certainly not glamourous, is one I am proud to hold and one I take very seriously. I oversee the budget for the elections and work closely with the County Elections Department to ensure that every requirement placed on us by the State is effectively and efficiently met. I also must work closely with the State to ensure that we are compliant and be well versed with local and state policies as they change every election cycle.

I am also currently serving my community as Secretary of the RGCCISD School Board. I also recently was appointed to serve on the Board of the Starr County Appraisal District. I am involved in many other activities in and around the community. I truly enjoy the chance to interact with so many of you and answer any questions you may have about any matter of import to our community. I also run a successful law practice here in Rio Grande City, and I remain

humbled that this community has continued faith and trust in my abilities as a lawyer. You can also read my column featured here in the Town Crier to have common legal questions answered. It is another free service I am happy to offer my friends and neighbors here in the County of Starr.

I know that some may ask why I continue to apply to hold this position when I do not get paid nor do I gain anything by it. I do it because I feel it is my duty to use my education and skills to help my community in any way possible.

And conducting fair and smooth elections is crucial to any county.

So long as the voters are satisfied with my work I will continue to work for the voters of this County.

From the Desk of Judith A. Solis, Attorney at Law Hello Readers!

This week I am going to continue to discuss wills, powers of attorney, and guardianships.

These are legal topics that we all tend to ignore but that are very important. I know that we tend to avoid these topics because it is uncomfortable, but it is inevitable.

We should be prepared in case we have an extended illness or otherwise become incapacitated to make it less burdensome on our

loved ones. We must also be prepared when a loved one becomes incapacitated because of illness or accident.

I want to follow up on the process of PROBATE. This is the legal process wherein a will is administered. In order to follow the wishes of the decedent (the person who wrote the will), the will must go before a Court. In the will, the decedent must appoint someone to be their executor.

The executor should be a person you trust. It may be someone

related to you but does not need to be a relative.

The probate process is to authenticate the will. That is, to make sure the will is real. The executor then asks that the County Clerk issue citation in a local newspaper so that anyone wishing to open a claim against the estate of the decedent as a creditor or to establish themselves as an heir to estate is put on notice.

The executor then establishes who are the heirs. They establish what were the debts of the estate that were left outstanding and what were the remaining assets.

The assets or monies remaining are then distributed as per the will.

After a designated period of time, the estate is closed.

As always, please remember that if you have a legal situation or problem, it is BEST to consult in person with an attorney. This column is simply advice I give to help readers understand common legal questions they may have.

Until next week...

North Grammar Elementary 3rd Grade Students Received a Donation

TO MOVE

STARR COUNTY FORWARD!

Thank You, Peter Piper Pizza! North Grammar Elementary 3rd grade students received a very special gift.

Each 3rd grader was surprised with his or her very own dictionary. Since students in 3rd grade will take their very first State of Texas Assessment for Academic Readiness or STAAR administration this year, Peter Piper Pizza Corporation thought it crucial to provide dictionaries to these students on the road to success. Peter Piper Pizza understands the value of education and has always worked to provide students with the necessary tools for academic achievement. This donation is just one of the countless ways Peter Piper Pizza supports our school and community.

Why we Love the Hosts: Y.B. Escobar Elementary Native Plants and Trees Student Reads 1 Million Words On Feb 03, at 1pm, the Roma World Birding Center will be the place to learn all about which plants host which butterfly.

Sally Anne Stuber and Volker Imscheiler will be presenting “Why we Love the Hosts: Native Plants and Trees” in the Roma Birding Center courtyard.

As pesticides and lack of habitat become handicaps that our birds and butterflies have to overcome, we need to do all we can do to help save both in order for all to survive.

Sally and Volker have lived in the Valley since 2003. Volker and Sally are certified Texas Master Naturalist. They both have extensive knowledge developed in conjunction with other naturalists in other parts of the world.

Y.B. Escobar Buckaroo Brandon Reynoso achieved the school’s Super Reader status in December 2017. He read 1 million words since the beginning of the school year. Brandon was rewarded by coloring Principal Edgar Garza’s beard and Librarian Anna Guillen’s hair in different colors. Congratulations Brandon and we hope this encourages other students to attain YBE Super Reader status!

Dear Citizens, After so much speculation and misinformation that has been reported by others, I am PROUD to report that the Wind Turbine project is about to reap it’s benefits to the people of Starr County. As I stated during the State of the County address in February 2017, I knew it was going to take time to resolve our financial dilemmas, but I was committed to get it done.

Today, I am happy to report to you that the FUTURE of Starr County remains BRIGHT! The Starr County Tax Collectors office will collect approximately $1.7 million from Duke Energy DBA Los Vientos Wind Power, LLC in taxes. Part of the revenue shortfall in the last two fiscal years was due to the fact that Duke Energy had not paid their taxes, because we were in litigation regarding the terms of the contract. It is my honor to inform you that we have now approved a settlement with Duke Energy. I appreciate Duke Energy’s willingness to resolve the dispute rather than drag on litigation in court. I would also like to thank Starr County District Attorney, Omar Escobar, for his legal assistance.

With the taxes paid by Duke Energy, the County will now be able to pay off any remaining bank balances as I had anticipated. Some debts, such as the $600,000 equipment

purchased by Commissioner Eloy Garza will remain on our books until paid. Additionally, I remain committed to ensuring that taxes are NOT raised and proud that the Commissioner’s Court worked together to pass TAX RELIEF for elderly and disabled persons as proposed

by Commissioner Roy Pena III. I call on the respective boards of Starr County Memorial Hospital and South Texas College to also consider providing tax relief to residents.

I stand committed to SERVING YOU and working with other community leaders to continue to MOVE STARR COUNTY FORWARD! As they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Real leaders understand that their communities don’t need quick fixes — they need long-term solutions, and that’s what I’ve worked all these years to provide you with.

God bless you and God bless Starr County.

Jerry and Rosemay Higgs from Georgia and Mason and Pam Rivers from Oregon.

Roma is one of nine birding centers in Texas and is the furthest west. We hope to increase awareness of the valley environment along the river.

There is so little of the natural land left, it is critical to preserve it.

This area of Texas hosts several birds that are seen no where else in the United States. Visiting birders generate a large income along the Rio Grande River.

The Dr. Mario Ramirez Elementary Diamondbacks participated in the Annual Free Throw Competition.

Welcome to all visitors near Fourth grade boys and girls placed 1st at the competition. Congratulations Diamondbacks! Thank you and far. We look forward to coaches for the dedication towards our students. seeing you.

Ruby-crowned kinglets are winter Texans One of the most endearing of the many migratory birds which spend their winters in the Valley is the rubycrowned kinglet; I observed one recently here at Rancho Lomitas.

This is by any measure a tiny bird. Only 4 inches long with a wingspan of 7 inches, its weighs a mere quarter once. That’s like a pat of butter. A ruby-throated hummingbird is only a tiny bit smaller.

Being winter Texans, the kinglets can be expected to leave next spring

you’re cautious, to come quite close for a good look at them.

The feathers on the back are olive-gray and those on the underside are whitish with a tinge of tan. The bill is black, thin and pointed. The tail is noticeably short and has a notched end. Don’t spend much time looking for the ruby crown since it’s seldom visible. The best chance of seeing it would be if you can observe a male ruby-crowned taking a bath or if he’s very excited like the one pictured.

Ruby-crowned kinglets do no harm and are very beneficial as they help to keep the insect population under control. Habitat loss, especially of wooded areas, is a threat to their survival. Let’s hope that we can enjoy them as winter Texans for many years to come.

These eye-rings are quite distinctive for they’re what we call broken eye-rings. They’re not complete circles. There’s a gap at the top and bottom of the eye.

One of the pleasant things about the ruby-crowned kinglets is the fact that they’re quite approachable. They allow you, if

for their summer range in the western states and Canada. We have to enjoy them while they’re here.

Ruby-crowned kinglets are members of the old world warbler family and spend their time searching along tree branches or through fallen leaves for insects, their larvae and eggs.

While hunting for insects, they occasionally flit their wings as if in an attempt to scare some insects into moving and revealing themselves. If insects are scarce, kinglets have been known to occasionally eat seeds and berries.

They’re stubby, plump looking little birds and, if you get a good look, you’ll see one or two wingbars. The upper wing-bar is often
