Balde Garza announces candidacy for Judge of the 229th District Court

With over 31 years of experience as a lawyer, I Balde Garza, proudly announce my candidacy for Judge of the 229th District Court for Starr, Jim Hogg, and Duval Counties. I’m a husband, a father, a lawyer, a mediator, a former mayor, and a Rotarian.

I have been married to Araceli B. Garza for over 32 years, and we have two grown sons, BJ, and Oscar. Araceli is a retired first grade teacher and taught for over 26 years at Ringgold Elementary in our hometown of Rio Grande City. We are members of First Baptist Church in Rio Grande City.

I graduated from Rio Grande City High School as an all-state football player, and later received my Bachelor of Arts from Sul Ross State University where I played football for two years. I graduated from Thurgood Marshall School of Law in May of 1986 and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in November of 1986.

I have served my profession during my entire legal career. As a young lawyer, I served in various state wide committees with the Texas Young Lawyers Association (TYLA) and eventually was selected to serve on the TYLA board of directors. I served the TYLA as treasurer, vice president, and Chairman of the Board. As chairman, I presided on a board

with over 30 young lawyers elected from around the State of Texas. I have served in several state wide committees of the Texas State Bar and served on the board of directors of the State Bar College in which I continue to be a member. In addition, I’m also a sustaining life fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation.

As a member of the Rotary Club of Rio Grande City for over 27 years, I have joined my fellow Rotarians in making a positive difference in our community, and I have been afforded the honor in the past to serve as president of our club.

Rotary has supported many projects that have impacted our community especially young students including scholarships, leadership training, and assistance to the less fortunate among us. As a member of the Rotary Club, I participated in the election to create the City of Rio Grande City in 1993, and was a founding member of the city. I later served as an elected city Alderman for 2 years and as Mayor for 8 years.

My mother, Berta, a young widow who had no schooling, without knowing anyone and no family here in the United States, immigrated into this country from the State of Michoacan, Mexico.

After 7 years of work, sacrifice and many other obstacles, she married my father. My father died when I was three years old, and she raised

me by herself. She taught me how to work, in the fields, “en la labor.”

As a boy, my mother and I worked in Washington in the asparagus and cherry, in Kansas in the sugar beet, and in Starr County in the cantaloupe and onion fields. She never said I needed to work hard, I always saw her example. She was so proud to live in the United States and loved our country so much, that she became a US Citizen. She taught me to respect my teachers, anyone I met, and to always help others in need. She and I, never forgot those who helped us. She was grateful to my high school football

coach, Oscar Perez, for taking me to Alpine to see the college. She admired Ruben Saenz, my high school principal, and RC Salinas, my junior high school principal, because they treated her with respect not as a field worker. They saw her as a hard worker who knew the importance of respect, helping others in need, and because they saw a person with strong work ethics and strong values.

I’m proud to have been born in La Puerta Ranch and raised in El Brazil Ranch just north of Rio Grande City. El Brazil Ranch is where my father, Adan and his

father, Jacinto lived and worked their entire life. This is where we live, and it is my favorite place in the world. This is where I will be buried when the Lord calls me.

I have a passion to serve my profession as a lawyer and our community. I will bring the same work ethic that I learned from my mother. I will work hard, and I will give you my best.

I humbly ask for your vote, and support for Judge of the 229th District Court. God Bless.

Balde Garza.

Ranchers Round-Up Preparatory for Early College High School AC2E Elementary Announces the Scheduled October 26 Announces the Formation of its First-Ever PTO 2017-2018 Student Council Officers In today’s economy, sound ranch management planning is an essential tool for a cow-calf producer to use in maintaining profit. As most other business people have known for a considerable period, a planning is needed to guide management decisions. You wouldn’t drive to an unknown location without consulting a map. The same principle applies to ranching.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Starr Soil & Water Conservation District, USDANRCS, Prairie View A&M Cooperative Extension Program and Texas Mexico Border Coalition will be having a Rancher’s Program on Thursday, October 26, 2017 at the San Isidro Parish Hall in San Isidro, Tx. The rancher’s program will feature information on wildlife management, brush management, wind energy, and Africanized bees. The program will begin at 8:00 a.m. and conclude at 1:00 p.m. with a noon meal sponsored

by Medina Electric. The program is free of charge and will offer continuing education units to those ranchers with a TDA private applicator license. There will also be many door prizes sponsored

by Capital Farm Credit.

The sponsors are very excited about this program and hope that you can join them on October 26th. Please call (956) 487-5598 ext. 3 to RSVP. The program is free of charge and is open to all area agriculture producers.

Día a día aprendemos a lidiar con tu ausencia, aprendemos a sobrevivir sin tu presencia, aprendemos a sobrellevar el dolor.

Estamos aprendiendo a vivir de los recuerdos y a vivir cada festejo sin que tu estés, día a día aprendemos a entender que tu ya no cruzaras por esa puerta.

Que bonito seria cambiar la ausencia por la presencia, pero sabemos que es imposible. Solo nos queda rogarle a nuestro Padre Dios que te resguarde en su Santa Gloria y desde allí nos sigas compartiendo tu amor.

Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for favors. This time I ask you this very special one (mention favor). Take it, Dear Jesus, and place it within your own heart, where your Father sees it. Then, in your merciful eyes it will become your favor, not mine. Amen.

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

H-E-B Buddy League Shares Anti-Bullying Message October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month and H-E-B invites Texas students to join the H-E-B Buddy League, challenging them to “Be a Buddy, Not a Bully.” Inspired by H-EB’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, the H-E-B Buddy League promotes kindness and respect over negative behaviors such as teasing, exclusion and bullying.

H-E-B kick off activities with a special live performance of the new H-E-B Buddy League

Training Academy, a high-energy show with song and animation at ten Elementary schools across the border region from Brownsville to Del Rio. The live show takes students through five training tasks that demonstrate how to stand up to bullying and how students can promote unity. The live show hit the road and visit 26 elementary schools across Texas.

Bullying is a widespread issue that can cause negative physical, social and mental-health issues.

Children who are bullied more

often experience depression, anxiety, and feelings of sadness and loneliness as well as experience lower academic achievement and school participation. H-E-B is a passionate supporter of education and the H-E-B Buddy League strives to help create safe learning environments that positively impact Texas students, understanding that children learn best when they have great days at school.

“Be a Buddy, Not a Bully”

Halloween Makes It More Than Spooky on the “Road” Halloween Safety for Pedestrians, Bicyclists, and Motorists

Halloween means children getting outdoors to enjoy treats, fun, and games. Although Halloween comes before the change back to standard time this year, the days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting longer.

With shorter days comes more night driving. Because nighttime driving is more dangerous, it requires extra attention from motorists, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that nearly two-thirds of all fatal pedestrian crashes and about 20% of fatal bicycle crashes occur in low-light conditions. According to Safe Kids, nationally, on average, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year.

That’s why Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agent Yolanda Morado - Starr County reminds motorists, parents and children of the following safety

tips to keep in mind during Halloween and all year long.

Tips for Motorists: •Slow down. Watch for children walking on roads, medians, and curbs. Enter and exit driveways carefully.

•Be especially alert for children darting out from between parked vehicles and from behind bushes and shrubs. They’re excited – and they are not paying attention.

•Never drink and drive – tonight or any night. If you are partying, designate a driver.

Tips for Parents: •Adults should accompany children at all times and supervise their “trick or treat” activities.

•Teach children to “stop, look left-right-left, and listen” before they cross the street.

•Use a flashlight, and wear retro-reflective strips or patches on your clothing or costume to be more visible to motorists.

•Be certain that the mask does not obstruct vision or hearing.

•Ensure that costumes do

not impede walking or driving ability.

Tips for Pedestrians (children and adults) •Before crossing a street, stop at the curb or edge of the road and look left, right, and left again to be sure no cars are coming.

Continue to check for traffic while on the street.

•Walk – never run – from house to house or across the road.

•Cross the street only at intersections and crosswalks.

•When crossing at an intersection with a traffic light, be sure to watch for turning cars.

Obey all pedestrian signals.

•Walk on sidewalks whenever possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the street facing traffic.

By taking some extra time to make sure drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists obey the rules, Halloween can be a safe time for all.

Alcohol & Red Ribbon Week: October 23rd through 31st Super Saturday at STC takes place Nov. 11 October 23rd through 31st schools across the nation will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week.

This year’s theme is: Your Future is Key so Stay Drug Free. It’s a unique theme that was created

by Iris Yu, a student at Solon Middle School in Solon, Ohio.

Many of us may recall wearing the iconic red ribbon on our shirts from our times in school, but what’s the story behind it?

It all started with Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. He was a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent stationed in Mexico during the 80’s. On February 7, 1985, Camarena left his office to meet his wife for lunch.

During this, five men appeared at the agent’s side and shoved him into a car. One month later, Camarena’s body was found.

He had been tortured to death.

Friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin in honor of Camarena’s memory. Many communities began to form coalitions in an effort to stop the destructive effects of alcohol and other drugs. Several of these coalitions decided to take on the symbol of Camarena’s memory, the red ribbon. Then in 1988, the National Family Partnership decided to sponsor the first National Red Ribbon Celebration, a celebration that continues to this day.

In South Texas, students face many different challenges and decisions. The most commonly abused substance for middle and high school students is alcohol. In part, this is due to the availability of it and the social acceptance of its usage.

Children growing up who see this may be lead to believe that it’s fine to consume it at an early age, or may even see it as a rite of passage. For examples, whenever a family gathering or

birthday party comes up the first thing on many people’s minds is to secure alcoholic beverages.

One out of every two students in high school has tried an alcohol beverage at least once according to the 2016 Texas School Survey. The consequences for consuming alcohol at such an early age can include potential damage to brain development, poor academic performances, legal consequences, and even death.

Learn more about how you can get involved this Red Ribbon Week at www.redribbon.org.

The Prevention Resource Center (PRC), a program of Behavioral Health Solutions of South Texas, serves as the central data collection repository for region 11 and the developer of a yearly Regional Needs Assessment (RNA), which is available to community members at no cost.

If you are interested in learning more please contact Irwin Mendoza, Regional Evaluator, at 787-7111 ext. 295.

South Texas College will hold Services at 956-872-8375 or go southtexascollege.edu/finaid/ its fall Super Saturday event at online to http://studentservices. index.html. its three main campuses; Starr, Pecan and Mid-Valley on Nov. 11 from 9 am to 2 pm.

The event will be a one stop shop for students to complete their Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) or their Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) to avoid long lines or delays.

“This event is about promoting the 2018-2019 FAFSA and TASFA submission,” said Juan Miguel Galvan, STC Director of Student Financial Services.

“Students just have to stop by with the required documents, and we help them with the rest.

We will have knowledgeable staff available to help at all three campuses,” Galvan said.

H-E-B Issues a Voluntary Precautionary Recall For Certain Single Serving Soups Sold in the Produce Section In accordance with Mann Packing of Salinas, California, H-E-B announced that it has issued a voluntary recall for certain H-E-B single-serving soups made with vegetable products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

STARR COUNTY TOWN CRIER, OCTOBER 25, 2017, SECTION II, PAGE 5

HONOR ROLL Tracking can be an enjoyable and informative hobby

During our frequent drought conditions, the trails and roads here at the ranch become dusty. There are numerous areas covered with sand and fine clay particles. On days with gusty winds the dust can be blown into your eyes and it’s very unpleasant.

However, the dust also offers some fascinating benefits: you can do some tracking!

When I first arrived here from Minnesota some 15 years ago, for entertainment, I smoothed out a few feet of a little used, sandy, ranch road, scattered a few scraps of food and, early the next morning, observed any tracks that had appeared. Benito Trevino, the ranch owner, called it my “print shop.”

I was able to identify a wide range of tracks including those of bobcats, coyotes, roadrunners, caracaras, and raccoons.

In the years since I began my interest in tracks, I’ve learned to identify many species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians,

and a few arthropods (insects and related critters).

Boy Scouts were once, and perhaps still are, required to determine the presence of at least10 species of wildlife from signs, without actually seeing the species. To do so one can look for distinctive bird nests, gnawing or pecking on tree trunks, feces dropped on the path, and of course tracks to mention just a few.

I’ve never seen a raccoon here at the ranch but I know they’re here because on almost any day, if I look about, I can find their distinctive foot prints on our trails. Let me tell you about just a few tracks to introduce you to tracking.

Javelinas and white tailed deer are common here but infrequently seen. Their tracks are similar but distinctive. Both have split hooves, i.e., each one is in two parts. The print looks a bit like a heart. The difference is that, while the deer hoof print comes to a sharp point, the javelina print shows a clear separation of halves at both slightly blunted ends.

3G’s

We have observed eleven species of snakes on the ranch. From tracks, while you can’t identify species, you can ascertain the size, speed, and direction of travel of snakes which have crossed a sandy area.

The width and depth of the track indicate the size; the frequency of curves in the track are relative to the speed (straight tracks indicate slow movement while wiggles show rapid movement); direction of travel causes pressure ridges as the snake pushes against the sand to move in the opposite direction.

Some birds have very distinctive feet. The greater roadrunner has four toes, two large outer toes and two smaller inner toes.

Cats, such as bobcats, have claws which can be retracted while canines, such as coyotes and foxes, have claws which are always showing.

This means that cat tracks show no claw marks

and those of canines usually show claw marks.

Our area has a lot of clay and caliche soils which can produce very fine dusts. If the air is humid and there are no strong, gusty winds, tracks can be exceptionally detailed, showing, for example, creases or wrinkles of the skin on the bottom of a raccoon’s foot, similar to the creases in the palm of your hand. Amazing to see!

There are several informative books on how to identify and read tracks. They’re available in many book stores and nature centers.

Wandering the paths through our thorny brush country looking for tracks can be interesting and informative. Try it sometime. I think you’ll enjoy it.
