This is just a great thing for the school community and I know they are excited.” “We would like to thank PE Coordinator Tavo Cantu for coming forward with this idea and seeing the project through to make sure our students have great fitness facilities,” said Roma ISD School Board Member Dagoberto Salinas. “He always puts the kids first and this is just another idea that he came up with to ensure they have access to practice and train at any time. We thank him for his continued leadership.”

Senator Zaffirini Named “Best of the Legislature” by Capitol Inside Senator Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo was named “Best of the Legislature” for 2017 by Capitol Inside, an online news service. Senator Zaffirini is one of only two Democrats who made the publication’s top 10, and the only Senate Democrat. Capitol Inside editor Mike Hailey recognized her ability to be effective as a Democrat in a Republicancontrolled legislature, writing “Zaffirini—a Laredo Democrat who’d been one of the most effective lawmakers in Texas as a majority party member in the
ing Financ e bl Availa
1990s—has been just as good if not better in the era of GOP rule.” Recognizing Senator Zaffirini for passing 109 pieces of legislation—more than any other legislator—Hailey praised her legendary work ethic, writing that she “reaffirmed her distinction this year as the hardest working lawmaker in Texas in three decades at least.” In 2015 Capitol Inside reported that Senator Zaffirini had passed more bills than any other legislator in Texas history. After this session, she has passed 1,003, excluding 29 that have been vetoed since 1987. Capitol Inside’s overview of the “Best of the Legislature” and its article about Senator Zaffirini are available on its website, www.capitolinside.com.

So He put his arms around you and whispered, ‘Come with Me.’ With tearful eyes we watched you slowly fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us... He only takes the best.
We wish to express our sincere thank you to all of our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers for your prayers floral arrangements, sympathy cards, phone calls, texts and food that was sent as an expression of sympathy bestowed upon our family for the loss of our beloved husband, father and grandfather; Abel S.

The law ensures that teachers who engage in an inappropriate relationship with a student will lose their teaching certification/license and their taxpayer pension, and punishes administrators, superintendents and principals who turn a blindeye to such misconduct. The bill also requires school districts to adopt a written policy to prevent improper electronic communications between school employees and a student. “Texas schools should be safe places for our children to learn and advance,” said Governor Abbott. “Texas schools are filled with some of the best teachers in the country, but unfortunately a small number of them have abused their position, and as a parent I find this abuse of trust abhorrent. This type of behavior is unacceptable, and Texas will protect its children from sexual predators in our classrooms. I would like to thank the legislature for their work and dedication on this important law.” The increased penalties could include: •Automatic termination and revocation of a teaching certificate for teachers that engage in improper relationships with students. •Fines up to $10,000 on any superintendent or principal who neglect to report an improper relationship within 7 business days of discovering it. •Jail time for principals or superintendents who intentionally conceal an improper relationship. •Suspension, revocation, or denial of the certification of educators who assist an unscrupulous teacher in obtaining a job at another school. •Suspension and annulment of an educator’s retirement annuity for educators convicted of having an improper relationship with a student.

PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rio Water Supply Corporation is proud of its continued partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture – Rural Development (USDA-RD federal funding source) and is committed to serving and improving the quality of life within the Rio Water Supply Corporation (“RWSC”) service area. As part of its continued commitment to serve and improve the quality of life within the RWSC service area, RWSC recently requested bids for a USDA funded infrastructure improvement project. In order for RWSC to receive USDA funds for this project, the United States Department of Agriculture mandated that all contractors who bid on the project strictly comply with its Rural Development bidding rules. In accordance with this mandate and the USDA Rural Development bidding rules, RWSC issued bid packets for the project that contained a set of instructions and controlling requirements. According to federal guidelines, following the requirements set forth in the bid packets are mandatory. There are no exceptions to following federal funding bidding rules and regulations. There are no exemptions to the USDA-RD bidding rules and regulations. Each bidder/contractor must follow the same rules and regulations to be compliant and considered in the bidding process. Of the three (3) contractors that responded and submitted bids for this particular improvement project, two (2) followed and met all federal funding bidding rules and regulations. Only one (1) contractor failed to meet the mandatory requirements and did not respond according to USDA-RD federal guidelines. Unfortunately, the contractor who failed to observe and follow the applicable federal regulations, submitted what would have otherwise been the “low bid.” However, because this would be “low bid” failed to follow federal bidding rules and was therefore not a legitimate bid, it – legally – could not be considered or recommended for acceptance by RWSC. Following federal funding rules for bidding is mandatory and neither Rio Water Supply Corporation nor any member of the Rio Water Supply Service Area who may be saddened at this unfortunate outcome, for whatever reason, can decide that the controlling bidding federal rules and regulations will not be followed or honored. Simply put, contractors are bound to and absolutely must follow federal bidding rules. Regardless of personal or public disappointment, the legitimate and law-abiding integrity of this federally funded bidding process will not be undermined by anyone or for anyone. While unfortunate, RWSC cannot consider the bid submitted by the one (1) contractor who failed to fully comply with federal controlling rules and regulations at this important stage in the bidding process. Under the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development bidding rules and regulations, a bid from a non-compliant contractor is considered to be nonresponsive. Any contractor’s bid that fails to follow bidding rules, regardless of the amount of the bid, cannot be legally considered for approval by a beneficiary of federal funds, including Rio Water Supply Corporation. The controlling federal rules and laws involving bidding for federally funded projects, such as this USDA project, are not overly complicated or terribly difficult to address and comply with. They are, however, equally and uniformly applicable to each contractor. Any contractor /bidder who fails to carefully observe and follow federal bidding rules and procedures assumes the risk of their own actions and decisions as well as the consequences therefrom. RWSC looks forward to continuing to serve its residents and improving the quality of life within the RWSC service area through its partnership with the USDA, and wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable summer.

“Un Empleador de Igualdad de Oportunidades”
Junio 5, 2017 COMUNICADO DE PRENSA - PARA PUBLICACIÓN INMEDIATA Rio Water Supply Corporation se enorgullece de su continua asociación con el Departamento de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural de los Estados Unidos y está comprometida a servir y mejorar la calidad de vida dentro de la Corporación de Suministro de Agua de Rio (RWSC) área de servicio. Como parte de su compromiso continuo de servir y mejorar la calidad de vida dentro del área de servicio de RWSC, RWSC recientemente solicitó ofertas para un proyecto de mejoramiento de infraestructura financiado por USDA. Para que el RWSC reciba los fondos del USDA para este proyecto, el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos ordenó que todos los contratistas que ofertaran el proyecto cumplan estrictamente con sus reglas de licitación de desarrollo rural. De acuerdo con este mandato y con las reglas de licitación de desarrollo rural del USDA, RWSC emitió paquetes de ofertas para el proyecto que contenían un conjunto de instrucciones y requisitos de control. De acuerdo con las directrices federales, seguir los requisitos establecidos en los paquetes de ofertas son obligatorios. No hay excepciones a las siguientes reglas y regulaciones federales de licitación de financiamiento. No hay exenciones a las reglas y regulaciones de licitación del USDA-RD. Cada licitador / contratista debe seguir las mismas reglas y regulaciones para ser compatible y considerado en el proceso de licitación. De los tres (3) contratistas que respondieron y presentaron ofertas para este proyecto de mejora en particular, dos (2) siguieron y cumplieron con todas las reglas y regulaciones federales de licitación de financiamiento. Sólo un (1) contratista no cumplió con los requisitos obligatorios y no respondió de acuerdo con las directrices federales del USDA-RD. Por desgracia, el contratista que no observó y siguió las regulaciones federales aplicables, presentó lo que de otra manera habría sido la “oferta baja”. Sin embargo, debido a que sería “oferta baja” no siguió las reglas federales de licitación y por lo tanto no era una oferta legítima , - legalmente - no podría ser considerado o recomendado para la aceptación por RWSC. Siguiendo las reglas federales de financiamiento para licitación es obligatorio y ni Rio Water Supply Corporation ni ningún miembro del Área de Servicio de Abastecimiento de Agua de Río que pueda estar entristecido por este desafortunado resultado, por cualquier razón, puede decidir que las reglas y reglamentos federales de licitación de control no serán Seguido o honrado. En pocas palabras, los contratistas están obligados a seguir las reglas federales de licitación y deben seguirlas. Independientemente de la decepción personal o pública, la integridad legítima y respetuosa de la ley de este proceso de licitación financiado por el gobierno federal no será socavada por nadie ni por nadie. Aunque es lamentable, RWSC no puede considerar la oferta presentada por el (1) contratista que no cumplió completamente con las reglas y regulaciones federales de control en esta etapa importante en el proceso de licitación. Bajo las reglas y regulaciones de licitación del Departamento de Agricultura del Desarrollo de los Estados Unidos, se considera que una oferta de un contratista que no cumple con los requisitos no responde. La oferta de cualquier contratista que no cumpla las reglas de licitación, independientemente del monto de la oferta, no puede ser considerada legalmente para ser aprobada por un beneficiario de fondos federales, incluyendo Rio Water Supply Corporation. Las reglas federales de control y las leyes que involucran licitaciones para proyectos financiados por el gobierno federal, como este proyecto del USDA, no son excesivamente complicadas o muy difíciles de abordar y cumplir. No obstante, son aplicables de manera uniforme y uniforme a cada contratista. Cualquier contratista / licitador que no observe cuidadosamente y siga las reglas y procedimientos federales de licitación asume el riesgo de sus propias acciones y decisiones, así como las consecuencias de las mismas. RWSC espera continuar sirviendo a sus residentes y mejorar la calidad de vida dentro del área de servicio de RWSC a través de su asociación con el USDA, y desea a todos un verano seguro y agradable.

That’s why I regularly distribute free books to libraries throughout my district, and why I secure funding for our local schools. With more than 25 million books, songs, images, and more now available online, even more of my constituents will have the opportunity to access Library of Congress materials.” Congressman Cuellar, a tireless advocate for education, has consistently worked to increase public access to books and educational materials. He regularly collects the Library of Congress’ surplus books and distributes them for free to local libraries throughout Texas’ 28th district. For example, in April he provided more than 165 books to the new El Cenizo Library, which

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

What You May Be Missing At Night! Buckle Up – Day or Night! ‘Click It or Ticket’ Campaign Did you know that driving at night is more dangerous than driving during the day? In fact, the majority (57%) of fatal crashes in Texas happen at night, according to Yolanda Morado, Starr County Extension Agent-FCS. In 2016, of all Texas crashers in which people died and weren’t wearing a seat belt, 62 percent happened at night. So whether it’s day or night, remember to buckle your seat belt for safety. You might think that the cover of darkness, police officers don’t notice unbuckled drivers and passengers – but they do. If you get pulled over, that means facing fines and court costs up to $200. Instead of putting yourself and others in danger, remember: buckle up, even at night! Taking those few seconds to buckle your seat belt is the most important step you can take to protect yourself in a crash. Fortunately, most Texans now buckle up, but some groups of motorists continue not taking the message to heart and not consistently using their seat belts. The demographic of motorist most likely to be unrestrained are men and young adults, especially
pickup truck drivers and passengers. This year marks the 15th year that the “Click It or Ticket” Campaign to increase seat belt use has been conducted in Texas. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), since its inception 15 years ago, this life-saving campaign has resulted in 5,068 fewer traffic fatalities and 86,000 fewer injuries, including more than $19.3 billion saved in related economic costs. However, from 2015 to 2016, deaths among people not wearing seat belts increased 9 percent. According to TxDOT, in 2016 more than 2,500 people who failed to wear their seat belts were killed or seriously injured. Simply remembering to put on your seat belt increases the chances of surviving a crash by 45 percent in a car, and up to 60 percent in a truck. After many years of having seat belts as a standard part in vehicles, it would seem that buckling your seat belt before driving off would be second nature. However, some pickup truck drivers and their passengers depend on their larger size vehicle to protect them in a crash. Yet, pickup trucks are
twice as likely to rollover as passenger cars. Due to pickup trucks’ tendency to rollover in crashers, the consequences are more severe for drivers and occupants not wearing seat belts – including being thrown from the vehicle, or even death. Unbuckled passengers can also be deadly to others in the vehicle. Most people are not aware of the dangers posed by unbuckled backseat passengers. In a crash, they can become projectiles that are tossed around inside the vehicle, often injuring or killing those in the front seat. Here’s another good reason to buckle up: It’s the law! Unbelted drivers and adult passengers can face fines and court costs up to $200. Children younger than 8-years-old must be in a child safety seat or booster seat unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches. Fines issued to drivers for unrestrained children in their vehicle can be as high as $250, plus court costs. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agent Yolanda Morado from Starr County reminds drivers to buckle up day and night and save your life. “Click It or Ticket”

Giant swallowtails are active now If you spend much time outside, you’re likely to see a giant swallowtail flutter by. T h e y ’ r e our largest butterfly and quite interesting. Their field m a r k s m a k e them easy to identify. In addition to being large their bright yellow and black contrasting colors are striking. With the wings open, you see a black butterfly with a few crossing bright yellow lines. The lower sides of the wings are mostly a muted yellow with some thin black lines. The hind wings have a distinct medial line of blue, orange and black.
What I find most interesting about a giant swallowtail is its defensive strategies at different stages of metamorphosis. While a caterpillar, it appears to be feces dropped by some passing bird and hardly a tasty morsel to be eaten. Birds aren’t often attracted to it.
If the larva is actually threatened, it can project an osmeterium. It’s red-orange and can look like a snake’s forked tongue or tiny horns. In addition, the osmeterium can release a foul smelling, bitter excretion. That combination is enough to scare off some predators. If it survives its larval stage, it enters the pupal stage where it uses camouflage hoping not to be recognized as an insect. The chrysalis looks almost exactly
like a short, broken twig. It takes a sharp eye to detect any difference. As an adult, as with all butterflies, it’s flight is very irregular, filled with twists and turns making it difficult for birds to capture it. Being a butterfly can be a short and dangerous existence and we should be thankful that these beauties have evolved strategies for survival. Enjoy them and be mindful of their amazing lives.
