When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me, And told me “Welcome Home.” So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

NOVENA “Miraculous Prayer” 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.
A. P. R.
The Miracle Prayer Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your name I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give you my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever. I invite you into my life Jesus, I accept you as my Lord, God and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul and spirit. (MAKE YOUR PETITION) Come Lord Jesus, cover me with your precious blood, and fill me with your Holy Spirit.

Continued from Front Page certification process is rigorous and less than 5% of all body shops in the U.S. are able to meet the stringent requirements imposed by the manufacturers to ensure quality and safety in their repairs. “Newer vehicles are manufactured with durable, lightweight materials and advanced technology, means that a repair performed in accordance to the manufacturer’s specifications is more important than ever and ensures the safety and proper
performance of the vehicle,” explained Scott Biggs, CEO of Assured Performance Collision Care. “Consumers need the confidence and peace of mind to know their vehicle is being repaired by a shop that has what it takes to ensure vehicle safety. We have certified more than 3,500 shops across the country to make sure consumers can have their vehicle repaired by a certified shop wherever they live, work, or travel.”
Assured Performance Collision Care is a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization for the Assured Performance Network (www.assuredperformance.net) - the largest and most advanced repair-capable network of certified automotive collision repair facilities in North America, with locations throughout the U.S. and Canada and partnerships with the top automobile manufacturers in the industry.
The following statement can be attributed to Texas Farm Bureau President Russell Boening regarding the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s announcement of a second round of Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) relief payments to farmers and ranchers. “Texas Farm Bureau applauds the announcement by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. A second round of coronavirus relief payments worth up to $14 billion will be of great help to Texas farmers and ranchers. Some had not previously been eligible for relief from losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Some of the commodities qualifying for the first time under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) include poultry, mohair, goats, hemp and all classes of wheat. “Texas agriculture continues to struggle with the financial impact of market disruptions and associated costs from COVID-19. Assistance from CFAP is helping farm and ranch families stay in business as they face these challenges. This second round of relief is welcome news. “We appreciate the efforts of the Trump administration in making this assistance available to Texas farmers and ranchers.”
La Oración del Milagro Texas Farm Bureau applauds second round of CFAP relief Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, vengo ante ti, así como s o y. E s t o y arrepentido por todos mis pecados, me arrepiento por todos mis pecados, por favor perdóname. En tu nombre, yo perdono a todos los que me hayan hecho algo a mi. Yo renuncio a Satanás, todos los espíritus diabólicos y todos sus trabajos. Yo me entrego a ti totalmente, Señor Jesucristo, ahora y por siempre. Te invito a mi vida Señor Jesús. Te acepto como mi único Dios y Salvador. Sáname, cámbiame, fortalece mi cuerpo, alma y espíritu. (HAGA SU PETICIÓN). Ven Señor Jesús, cúbreme con tu sangre preciosa, y lléname con tu Santo Espíritu. Te adoro Señor Jesucristo. Te alabo Señor Jesucristo. Te doy gracias Jesús. Te seguiré todos los días de mi vida. Amen. María Madre mía, Reina de la Paz, todos los Ángeles y Santos por favor te imploro, ayúdenme. Amen.
ST. JUDE NOVENA May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus pray for us. Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus, pray for us, St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. (Say this nine times a day, by the 8th day your prayer will be answered. Say it nine days, it has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised.) Thank you St. Jude.

Independent Candidate and Local Business Owner
Alvaro Iglesias
Seeks to be your next City Commissioner Rio Grande City Place #2 Greetings to the citizens of Rio Grande City, Texas. My name is Alvaro Iglesias and I am asking for your vote and support
for Rio Grande City Commissioner, Place 2, of this great city. I am a 2007 Rio Grande City High School graduate and call my Rio Grande City my home. I am the son of very hard-working Mexican immigrants who instilled in me the values of family, education, and work ethics. I learned that working together to achieve excellence is of utmost importance. Maybe that is why I was so devoted as a mariachi band member of the Rio Grande City High School mariachi program and that devotion of excellence became part of who I am. Today, I am the proud owner of Guardian Insurance Brokers.
I am married to Ilse Maria Iglesias and we are blessed with two beautiful young children, our son Alvaro Julian and our daughter Ilvanna Mariel. Being a businessman, I bring a different perspective of ideas that will maximize the future growth potential of our city. There is a major need to construct a second international bridge to be owned by the city and that will operate 24 hours a day. This would allow for a drastic increase in international commerce that would translate in signi�icant increases in revenues for the city. Among other ideas, my vision also includes traf�ic congestion resolutions, constructing sidewalks and improving street lighting throughout the city, and developing a much-needed �lood control and drainage
plan. Rio Grande City is my home and I want to be part of its growth. Change is needed at city hall and I know with my business background I can be part of that change good change which will eventually break us free of the local political corruption which consumes and prevents our growth. The only way to defeat the political machine is to exercise our right to Vote. We can do this break the chains that prevents our growth and together we work towards a better and greater Rio Grande City. Help me to help you! We can do this together. I humbly ask for your vote and support for Rio Grande City Commissioner Place 2.
¡¡¡PARA USTEDES, PARA EL FUTURO!!! Vote Alvaro Iglesias for Rio Grande City Commissioner Place #2

Save Energy at Your Small Business Small businesses in the U.S. spend a collective $60 billion on energy each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program. Employers and small business owners want to run their operations as efficiently as possible, and businesses have significant potential to save energy. Here are some ideas for increasing the energy efficiency of your workplace with upgrades or behavioral changes. •Consider an energy audit. You can hire a professional to assess energy use or check out online options. An expert can identify areas of weakness and suggest solutions. •Get employees involved. Without their cooperation, you might not see any changes. Educate them on how to save energy and encourage them to cut down on energy costs. Incentivize changes by rewarding energyefficient behavior with gift cards or time off. •Time for a tune up. Tune up your heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, just as you would your system at home. Regular maintenance will help it run more efficiently. •Change or clean your HVAC filters. Dirty filters cost more to
use, as they force the system to work harder. Sign your business up with FilterChange.coop to not only save money on filters, but also receive reminders when it is time to change them. •Blinds or curtains. Control sunlight by drawing the blinds or curtains closed to reduce heat in hot weather. Open them to allow the sun’s warmth to enter during colder times. •Plant trees to shade your building and help clean the air. Strategically planted trees can also block chilling winds. Make sure when planting a tree, it is at least 30 feet away from any power lines. •Set the thermostat to comfortable yet energy-efficient temperatures. During summer when employees are at work, set the thermostat to 78 degrees. When the building is unoccupied, set the thermostat higher. In colder weather, set the thermostat to 65 degrees during work hours and lower when employees are away. A smart thermostat can make these changes for you automatically, so consider upgrading your thermostat. •Upgrade your lighting options. Switching from incandescent bulbs to energy-efficient LEDs saves energy, which saves your
TDLR offers military licensing website that includes options for military spouses Active-duty servicemembers, veterans and military spouses can now use a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website to help eligible individuals obtain a license using their military experience. The website includes a search function that matches TDLRissued occupational licenses with the military training and experiences of servicemembers and veterans who want to transition their military occupations to the civilian world. The search identifies occupations that the servicemember or veteran would be qualified for, either immediately or through additional education and training. Also included in the website are important resources to assist servicemembers and veterans who want to pursue an entirely new career after military service. These resources identify the needed education and training to enter a new profession, as well as the employment outlook and potential salary range of civilian jobs in the occupation. “TDLR will do all we can to honor military families and make it as easy as possible for service members, veterans and their spouses to continue their careers here in Texas,” said Brian E. Francis, TDLR executive director. “They served us with honor. It’s our honor now to serve them.” In addition to the military licensing information, TDLR offers a site for military spouses, who have several avenues for licensing available to them, thanks to a law passed during the last legislative session (SB 1200, 86th Texas Legislature). Military spouses who move to Texas and hold certain
occupational licenses in other states can apply to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for: •Option 1: a standard license using reciprocity. If a military spouse currently holds an occupational license in another state that has substantially equivalent license requirements or has a reciprocity agreement with Texas, TDLR will issue a standard Texas license that may be renewed on expiration. This option requires successfully passing a criminal history background check. •Option 2: a three-year license. Provides a spouse with a three-year license to work in Texas, based on their out-ofstate license. Spouses must pass a criminal history background check to apply using this method, but there is no application fee and no examination. The license is not renewable, and after it expires, the military spouse must apply and meet standard Texas licensing requirements. •Option 3: a three-year letter of authorization. Provides a spouse with a three-year authorization letter to work in Texas, based on their out-of-state license. There is no application fee, no examination, and no criminal history background check. The authorization letter is not renewable. After three years, the military spouse must apply and meet standard Texas licensing requirements. The authorization is invalidated if the military spouse’s partner leaves military service, is no longer stationed in Texas, or the couple divorces. Visit TDLR’s website for more information and resources.
business money. •Loosen up the dress code. A casual dress code might allow employees to wear more comfortable, cooler clothing during hot weather. If they’re comfortable, you might be able to turn up the thermostat a little more. •Turn off the lights. Just like it does at home, turning off the lights at work saves energy and money on the electric bill. Encourage employees to turn off lights when not in use. Installing automatic lights controlled by sensors can help ensure the lights are off when an area is not in use. “Medina EC realizes the importance of small businesses in our service area really are, especially in these tough economic times. Education, Training and Information is one of our cooperative principles, and we think energy efficiency education is important to all our members and their businesses,” stated Medina EC’s CEO, Mark Rollans. Small life-style changes can make a real difference in your energy consumption. For more energy-conservation tips, visit MedinaEC.org/EnergySavings.
More women farming, ranching in Texas
By Gary Joiner, Publisher The 2017 Census of Agriculture revealed some interesting information about Texas farmers and ranchers. Texas has the most farms of any state in the country. About 250,000. Who’s running those farms is changing. The 2017 census points to a huge increase in the number of women who are farming and ranching. The difference in the five years between census counts was over 18,000 women. In comparison, the number of male farmers and ranchers increased by 5,000 during the same period. The recent ag census did a better job of capturing who is farming and ranching. In previous years, respondents were only allowed to enter information on the principal operator of the farm. The question did not allow entering others who were equally involved in decision-making and management of the farm. The change in approach is good. And a great percentage of women in agriculture are active advocates and leaders. A recent American Farm Bureau Federation online survey revealed 75% of respondents are leaders at the local level, 50% are leaders at the state level and 26% are leaders at the national level. Texas agriculture is changing. It will be interesting to see what the next Census of Agriculture in 2022 reveals.
