Family, friends and community members gathered with our local veterans at the annual Veterans Day Ceremony to honor the service members who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. The ceremony is an annual event held every November 11th at 11:00 AM at the county cemetery on Fairgrounds road sponsored by the Rio Grande City VFW Henry Clay Davis Chapter. The ceremony included the recital of the Pledge of Allegiance, singing of the national Anthem, a prayer and a moment of silence. A ﬂag raising ceremony was also conducted as this is performed every year in memory of all deceased military comrades. The event is also a time of thanksgiving for all local veterans and their families. The ceremony concluded with a three volley gun salute and the music to “Taps”.

November 11th-15th is Designated as School Psychology Awareness Month in Starr County Starr County Judge Eloy Vera and the Commissioners’ Court proclaimed the week of November 11th through 15th as School Psychology Aw a r e n e s s Month in Starr County. The proclamation serves to promote awareness to County of Starr residents of the vital role that school psychologists play in the personal and academic development of our community’s children. Dr. Jessica Vera-Rios (Rio Grande City CISD) made a presentation at Commissioners’ Court on Tuesday November 12, 2019 of the importance of advocating for youth with learning disabilities, autism and other emotional conditions in the school districts. The proclamation states the following “School psychologists help children thrive by nurturing their individual strengths across both personal and academic endeavors; and Children

Texas Cafe Receives Texas Treasure Business Award

Many people gathered to see Texas Cafe receive the prestigious Texas Treasures Business Award during its 80th anniversary celebration held on November 16, 2019 in downtown Rio Grande City. The award, by the Texas Historical Commission, pays tribute to businesses that have provided employment opportunities and support to the state’s economy for 50 years or more. “1939 marked the year the Garza family entered the family restaurant business,” said Rebecca “Becky” Garza, who in 2010, took over the family apron following her father, Clemente Garza, Jr’s retirement. The restaurant was started by her grandfather Clemente Garza Sr. and his brother-inlaw Antonio Salinas. “I want to thank the community on behalf of my family and myself from the bottom of our hearts. It is because of

you that this business has been a great success. This award is a great honor and I am truly humbled,” she added. Special guests included State Senator Judith Zaffirini and State Representative Ryan Guillen, who as members of the Texas Legislature, supported the award by the Texas Historical Commission, and also presented the Garzas with a senate proclamation and Texas flag flown over the state capitol in Austin, Texas in honor of the restaurant’s 80th anniversary and Texas Treasure award. Rio Grande City Mayor Joel Villarreal, who helped make the nomination for the award, provided a city proclamation recognizing the legacy and impact of Texas Cafe to the economy. Senator Zaffirini, Representative Guillen and Mayor Villarreal jointly presented the framed Texas Treasures Business Award certificate to Ms. Garza and her family

along with a letter from Mark Wolfe, Executive Director of the Texas Historical Commission. “Proudly display the recognition you have earned,” it read. “Establishing your identity as a Texas Treasure lets the public know that they are doing business with a successful, longtime Texas-owned and operated company.” “Our doors will never close,” Garza told her guests. “Your special place at the table will be waiting for you.” Guests were treated to a taste of the restaurant’s longtime specialties including the famous envueltos. Ms. Garza explained her family’s recipes are unique, have been passed down from generations and reminded all that their meals are made from scratch. Texas Cafe is located at 517 E. 2nd St. in historic downtown Rio Grande City.

1st Anniversary In Loving Memory of Carmen A. Peña November 15, 1956 † November 26, 2018

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 that God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by 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.

Forever in our hearts until we meet again... Husband Pedro Peña, Jr., Children: Brenda (Alaa) Marzouk , Omar (Belinda) Peña and her three beautiful grand-daughters Victoria, Natalia, and Daniela

quitting cigarettes forever! History of Great American Smokeout The inception of the Great American Smokeout stems from a 1970 event in Randolph, Massachusetts. High school guidance counselor Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for one day and donate the money they would have spent on buying cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund. A few years later in 1974, newspaper editor Lynn R. Smith led Minnesota’s ﬁrst

Don’t Smoke Day. The two efforts caught on and on November 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society got 1 million people to quit smoking for the day. This marked the ﬁrst ofﬁcial Smokeout before the American Cancer Society took it nationwide in 1977. As a result, there was a dramatic change in the public view of tobacco advertising and use. Many public establishments and work places are now smoke-free to protect nonsmokers and support people trying

to quit. Every year the Great American Smokeout draws attention to preventing deaths and chronic illnesses caused by smoking. From the late 1980s to the 1990s, many state and local governments have raised taxes on cigarettes, limited promotions, discouraged teen cigarette use, and taken further action to counter smoking. States with strong tobacco control laws saw up to a 42% decrease of smoking in adults. Though smoking rates have dropped, almost 38 million Americans still smoke tobacco, and about half of all smokers will encounter smoking related deaths. Each year, more than 480,000 people in the United States die from a smoking related illness, meaning smoking causes 1 out of 5 deaths in the US alone.

DPS Interdiction for the Protection of Children program trains record 10,000 people Last month, the Interdiction for the Protection of Children (IPC) program hit a key milestone, and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is proud to announce that 10,000 individuals — in Texas, across the nation and around the globe — have been trained through this vital program. IPC equips law enforcement officers with the tools to recognize indicators of missing, exploited, at-risk and endangered children, and as a result, law enforcement officers can more readily identify and rescue children. “The Interdiction for the Protection of Children program provides vital training to law enforcement, and in turn removes heinous criminals who target children from our streets,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “IPC has led to the rescue of countless victims across Texas and the country — and it’s because law enforcement has the resources to detect and interdict these depraved predators.” Launched in 2009, IPC teaches officers how to look for children who may be abducted, endangered or exploited through

its two-day, 16-hour training program. IPC has been credited for leading to the rescue of hundreds of children, including 433 children who have been rescued by DPS Troopers alone. The program marked its 10th anniversary in April. “This program is applicable to law enforcement agencies of all sizes and gives officers the resources they need to recognize children who are in danger — with agencies often making their first rescue within six months,” said DPS Captain Derek Prestridge, who helped create the program and is now the IPC program supervisor. “People make assumptions that a child victim will cry out, and that’s not the case. The primary message IPC teaches is for us to stop waiting for children to tell you they are victims of trafficking, abuse and neglect. IPC trains front-line officers to take action when they come into contact with children who need their help.” DPS partners with various law enforcement, victim services and child protective services agencies to provide IPC training. Nationwide, this specialized

training has been provided to state troopers, including all Texas Troopers; police officers; sheriffs’ deputies; investigators; child protection services professionals; prosecutors and victim service professionals. Since 2014, this crucial training has been made available nationally with a grant through the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Service. The Texas Highway Patrol is the most visible branch to receive IPC training in the state. DPS Troopers stop approximately 3 million vehicles annually, affording a substantial opportunity to spot at-risk children. In addition to rescuing children, IPC gives law enforcement the tools to be proactive and prevent crime by helping officers remove offenders from our streets and recognize high-risk threats to children that may have otherwise been overlooked. As a result, officers have initiated criminal investigations involving abduction, human trafficking, sexual assault of a child, sex offender non-compliance and possession of child pornography.

DPS Launches Initiative for Federal Firearms Licensees to Verify Validity of LTC Permits The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has launched a new public webpage and automated telephone line allowing Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL) to verify whether an individual’s Texas License to Carry (LTC) permit is valid when he/she attempts to use an LTC as an alternative permit to purchase a firearm. This new tool for FFLs is voluntary but highly

encouraged. A valid Texas LTC may be used as an alternative permit under 18 U.S.C. § 922(t) to authorize a firearm transfer without the otherwise required national instant criminal background (NICS) check. However, in some instances, an LTC may have been revoked, but the actual card may not have been surrendered by the license

holder. In such instances, the LTC should not be used as an alternative permit. While the department is not aware of an invalid LTC used in such a manner, providing FFLs with a convenient avenue to verify an LTC is an important safeguard to prevent such action. This tool is available 24/7 online at http://www. dps.texas.gov/rsd/ltc/LTCChecker/ or by calling (512) 424-5700.

Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals on 11/20/2019: This is to give notice that the City of Escobares has determined that the following proposed action under the Community Development Block Grant Program 2019 contract is located in the 100-year floodplain, and the City of Escobares will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain and the potential impacts on the floodplain from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. The City of Escobares proposes a Street Improvements project, including Administrative and Engineering fees and services, and to reconstruct approximately 5,220 linear feet (LF) of street utilizing scarification, asphalt and base mix, hot mix asphalt, driveway repair and all associated appurtenances. Work will take place on Lolo Flores Rd from point approximately 210 linear feet south of US HWY 83 to intersection with Pena Rd, on Pena Rd from intersection with Lolo Flores Rd to Lopez St, on Saenz Ct from Pena Rd to dead end of Saenz Ct, on Pera Ln from Lopez St to dead end of Pera Ln, on Flavio St from Luciano Ave to Cindy’s Ave, on Viola St from Luciano Ave to Cindy’s Ave, on Cactus Rd from San Julian Rd to Manuel Perez St (Lat : 26.419329°, Long: -98.960582°), on Manuel Perez St from San Julian Rd to a point approximately 1,000 (LF) north, on San Julian Rd from a point approximately 150 (LF) north of US HWY 83 to a point approximately 150 (LF) south of US HWY 83. If funds allow, continue work on Docker Rd for approximately 200 linear feet starting at the intersection with San Julian Rd, Escobares, Starr County. The project shall include activities within approximately 0.15 acres of the 100-year floodplain. There are three primary purposes for this notice: (1) People who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts; (2) An adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas; and (3) As a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received on or before 12/5/2019 by the City of Escobares at P.O. Box 907 or 4829 Old Highway 83, Roma, TX 78584, (956) 847-1200. Attention: Noel Escobar, Mayor, during regular business hours. A full description of the project may also be reviewed during regular business hours at 4829 Old Highway 83, Roma, TX 78584. Comments may also be submitted via email to suzy@grantworks.net.

Notificación Temprana y Revisión Pública de una Actividad Propuesta en una Llanura de Inundación de 100 Años A: Todas las Agencias, Grupos e Individuos interesados en 11/20/2019: Se da aviso de que la Ciudad de Escobares ha determinado que la siguiente acción propuesta bajo el contrato Community Development Block Grant Program Contrato 2019 se encuentra en la llanura de inundación de 100 años y la Ciudad de Escobares identificarán y evaluarán alternativas factibles para localizar la acción en la llanura inundable y los impactos potenciales de la acción propuesta, según lo exigido por la Orden Ejecutiva 11988, Reglamentos del HUD en 24 CFR 55.20 Subparte C Procedimientos para la Determinación de Manejo de Plántulas y Protección de Humedales. La ciudad de Escobares propone un proyecto de Mejoras de calles, que incluye tarifas y servicios administrativos y de ingeniería, y reconstruir aproximadamente 5,220 pies lineales de calles utilizando escarificación, asfalto y mezcla de bases, asfalto de mezcla caliente, reparación de entradas y todos los accesorios asociados. El trabajo se llevará a cabo en Lolo Flores Rd desde el punto aproximadamente 210 pies lineales al sur de US HWY 83 hasta la intersección con Pena Rd, en Pena Rd desde la intersección con Lolo Flores Rd hasta Lopez St, en Saenz Ct desde Pena Rd hasta el callejón sin salida de Saenz Ct , en Pera Ln desde Lopez St hasta el callejón sin salida de Pera Ln, en Flavio St desde Luciano Ave hasta Cindy’s Ave, en Viola St desde Luciano Ave hasta Cindy’s Ave, en Cactus Rd desde San Julian Rd hasta Manuel Perez St (Lat: 26.419329 ° , Largo: -98.960582 °), en Manuel Perez St desde San Julian Rd hasta un punto de aproximadamente 1,000 pies lineales al norte, en San Julian Rd desde un punto de aproximadamente 150 pies lineales al norte de US HWY 83 hasta un punto de aproximadamente 150 pies lineales al sur de US HWY 83. Si los fondos lo permiten, continúe trabajando en Docker Rd por aproximadamente 200 pies lineales comenzando en la intersección con San Julian Rd, Escobares, Condado de Starr. El proyecto incluirá actividades dentro de aproximadamente 0.15 acres de la llanura de inundación de 100 años. Hay tres propósitos principales para esta notificación: (1) Las personas que pueden verse afectadas por actividades en llanuras de inundación y aquellos que tienen interés en la protección del medio ambiente natural deben tener la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones y proporcionar información sobre estas áreas. Se recomienda a los comentaristas que ofrezcan sitios alternativos fuera de la llanura de inundación, métodos alternativos para cumplir el mismo propósito y métodos para minimizar y mitigar los impactos; (2) Un programa de aviso público adecuado puede ser una herramienta educativa pública importante. La difusión de información y la solicitud de comentarios públicos sobre las llanuras de inundación pueden facilitar y mejorar los esfuerzos federales para reducir los riesgos e impactos asociados con la ocupación y modificación de estas áreas especiales; y (3) Como cuestión de equidad, cuando el gobierno federal determine que participará en acciones llevadas a cabo en las llanuras de inundación, debe informar a aquellos que pudieran ser expuestos a un riesgo mayor o continuo. Los comentarios por escrito deben ser recibidos a más tardar el 12/5/2019 por la Ciudad de Escobares en P.O. Box 907 o 4829 Old Highway 83 Roma, TX 78584, (956) 847-1200. Atención: Noel Escobar, Mayor, durante las horas hábiles. Una descripción completa del proyecto también se puede revisar durante las horas hábiles regulares en 4829 Old Highway 83, Roma, TX 78584. Los comentarios también pueden ser enviados por correo electrónico a suzy@grantworks.net.
