Board Rescinds Mandatory Volunteerism
Fourth Endangered Ocelot Killed on State Hwy 100
La Feria School Board met on July 14 for the regularly scheduled meeting. Among the item actions was the hot-button topic of volunteer hours required for graduation. The board unanimously voted to rescind the requirement but plan to look into offering a reward program for students who still fulfill the 125 hours previously required. Over the course of the year the subject had been approached by
‘Voluntold’ graduation requirement dropped, 5% increase in pay approved several parents at board meetings as well as being privately brought to the attention of administrative staff. School Board President Juan Briones noted that when the decision was made it was with the idea of focusing on an ideal student but noted that the board recognized that
outside requirements can make it difficult for students to achieve the required hours. Extra-curricular activities, work or family responsibilities had previously been mentioned as taking from the time required and were mentioned again by Briones. All board members acknowledged
that the requirement was made with the best of intentions but wanted to make sure that no student was denied a diploma because of outside forces. Gloria Casas spoke up in defense of the requirement though she did note that two families of the estimated ten that she spoke with didn’t know that the program existed. She ► CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Lieutenant Rudy Delgado and Constable Cesar R. Diaz discuss preparation plans.
Constable Diaz talks Preparedness
‘My officers are ‘Locos’ Anglin’ for always on call’ Shark Story and photos by Bill Keltner
istorically, late August and September are the months the Texas Coast has the highest probability of tropical storms. People still talk about the devastating “no-name” storm of 1933 and Beulah in 1967, and several others. Aware of this, all Valley law-enforcement agencies get on high alert with stepped-up preparation and contingency planning. Constable Cesar R. Diaz and Lieutenant Rudy Delgado explained how the officers of his department blend in with the other agencies in times of emergency. Constable Diaz has 19 years with the county, and Lieutenant Delgado has served for 24 years on the force. The Cameron County Constables and deputies play a vital part in the overall emergency coordination among police departments, DPS, state and federal agencies.

Band members Recognized Why do people homestead? n the last article we talked about our definition of homesteading. Here we’d like to address reasons WHY people homestead. If you were going to homestead, what would be your reason? Do you want to work in the peaceful outdoors? Are you preparing for a zombie apocalypse? Do you imagine yourself surrounded by adorable baby animals? Although these may seem like good reasons for homesteading, there are more practical reasons, such as: *Growing and raising your own food: Whether it is meat or vegetable, growing your own food has many benefits. You’ll be less dependent on others for your food, it can be grown and raised organically, and it can be fresh and free of preservatives. You would also be able to incorporate unique varieties of fruits and vegetables (such as purple carrots) that would not normally be found in your local grocery store. *Increased physical activity: homesteading is a lifestyle, a lifestyle that is full of physical activity. Taking care of animals, gardening, building projects… all of this requires labor intensive work. Running a homestead is a full body workout. Not only will you become physically active, but the activities you do will produce tangible results. Many people enjoy building projects and working with their hands; homesteading gives them the opportunity to do just that. *General preparedness: We all know the damaging effects of a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or tornado. Homesteading is about self sustaining and being able to take care of yourself in a natural or unnatural disaster. Those are three main reasons for homesteading. There many more, and your reasons might be different. To learn even more and get hands-on experience, join us at Grace Heritage Ranch for our Saturday morning tours. We are located just 30 minutes northeast of Harlingen near Santa Monica. Please visit us at www.GraceHeritageRanch.com or www.Facebook. com/VisitGHR .

“Should a hurricane strike land this year, we’re much better prepared and ready,” asserted Cameron County Pct 5 Constable Cesar R. Diaz. “My precinct has tripled in size with the absorption of the old Precinct 7 last year,” he said. “We cover the county from the Willacy and Hidalgo county lines, down to the river; we now are the largest precinct in the county.” The Constable made an interesting comment: He said, “If a devastating storm, for example, comes ashore-you can forget county lines, city limits or procedure; in times like those, we are ‘Valley-wide’-- responding to any needs, anywhere. Sometimes, we help fellow officers; sometimes we deliver water and emergency food to remote, isolated areas. All of us respond to calls for help; we’re like a police brotherhood.”
Constable Diaz divides his time between his La Feria and Harlingen Offices. “With the expansion of Precinct 5,” he added, “we now operate from our offices in La Feria and Harlingen with eight fully-commissioned officers, six reserve officers and two secretaries; We are in much better shape now to deal with any kind
of emergency, disaster or crime problems. I divide my time between the two offices.” As far as equipment, the Constable said their work load has tripled, but he now has eight marked patrol units and one unmarked
police unit patrolling and available.. The staff of officers include: 1 lieutenant/ investigative, 1 lieutenant/ administrative, 5 patrol deputies, 1 patrol sergeant and 2 office clerks in the La Feria and Harlingen offices. “Should an emergency be declared for our area, our department will work under the emergency management lead of Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos,” Diaz said. “At such times, we work along with the Sheriff’s Office to cover all rural areas in the county. “Tell your readers,” he said, “that should they need any kind of help during emergencies, or any type of law enforcement problem, they can call our office in La Feria or Harlingen.” The La Feria number is (956) 797-1180.

went on to note that she took it as a personal failure that they did not follow up on the progress of the program so that there were never any graduates of the program itself. “I want it noted on the record that I am taking this as a personal failure,” Mrs. Casas stated. Board member Javier Loredo responded by saying, “That will be on the record because it is an open meeting, but I also want it on the record that this wasn’t a failure by any one person. We as a group failed to make sure that this program was a success.
“At the same time, the kids shouldn’t be the ones to suffer because of it so it is really the right thing that we are doing (by rescinding the policy).” Vi c e - P r e s i d e n t A l a n Moore summarized the proceedings by noting, “There is just something contradictory about mandatory and voluntary. The two are in conflict with each other and we had the best intentions but it isn’t doing what he had hoped and we don’t want it to be a problem for our students so we need to do something about it.” Pancho Cobarrubias moved to put the action to
a vote and the board passes the measure with no opposition. The board also agreed to a 5% budgetary increase in pay to bring the pay to a competitive rate with a similar market and also the add equality to some positions.
Superintendent Raymundo (Rey) P. Villarreal, Jr. noted that some similar positions, even on the same campus, have a major disparity in pay. The budget adjustment will allow the school district to remedy that.

David Lee Sloan, 71, formerly of Colfax and Bloomington, IL and currently of La Feria, TX, passed away on Sunday June 22, 201 at the Valley Baptist Medical Center, Harlingen, TX Visitation will be on Sunday, July 20, 2014 from 1—3P.M. at Beck Memorial Home in Bloomington, IL. Funeral services will be on Sunday, at 3:00pm following the visitation at the memorial home. A private family inurnment will follow at Park Hill Cemetery in Bloomington, IL. Memorial contributions may be made to the Community Cancer Center, 407 East Vernon Avenue, Normal, Il 61701 or the Valley Baptist Medical Center MICU, 2101 Pease St, Harlingen, TX 78550, in his honor. Beck Memorial Home has been entrusted with the funeral arrangements. He was born on May 22, 1943 in Lincoln, IL, son of Eber and Imogene Charles Sloan. He married Darlene Huff on November 10, 1961 in Bloomington, IL; she preceded him in death on July 12, 2013. Surviving are his two daughters, Diana (Tony) Witte, Bloomington, IL, and Denise (Keith Jackson) Sloan, LeRoy, IL. Also surviving are two grandchildren, Calyn and Sam Witte both of Bloomington, IL; his sister, Barbara (Larry) Howard of Anchor, IL; his sister-in-law, Evelyn Sloan of Kentucky; several nieces and nephews, and his beloved cat, Bailey. David is preceded in death by both of his parents, one brother, Bob Sloan, and his infant twin sister, Linda Sloan who passed away at birth. David was a Town of Normal Employee for many years. He started his excavating career with Winstead Excavating; and later worked for West Construction. With the experience he gained while working in the excavating and construction industry, David decided it would be best to own and operate his own enterprise, opening Sloan Excavating in the 1970’s and D & A Foundations in the 1990’s. Along side with his loving wife Darlene, they partnered together having a very enjoyable career together with the excavation company up until their retirement in the fall of 2004. He was a long time member of Operating Engineers Local 649. David was an avid NHRA and St. Louis Cardinals Baseball fan. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and wonderful friends from the Bloomington/Normal, Il; as well as his many close friends in South Texas Haven in La Feria, TX. There will be a celebration of his life later in the fall of 2014 at the club house in South Texas Haven in La Feria, TX. Please view and leave condolences online at www. beckmemorial.com.

AZA Grants Accreditation to Gladys Porter Zoo Silver Spring, Maryland – The Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) today announced that the Gladys Porter Zoo was granted accreditation by AZA’s independent Accreditation Commission. “By meeting Association of Zoos and Aquariums Accreditation Standards, Gladys Porter Zoo sets itself apart as one of the top zoos in the world,” said AZA President and CEO Jim Maddy. “The Gladys Porter Zoo is a leader in the care and conservation of wildlife, and in educating people about the natural world.” To be accredited, the Gladys Porter Zoo underwent a thorough review to ensure it has and will continue to meet ever-rising standards, which include animal care, veterinary programs, conservation, education, and safety. AZA requires zoos and aquariums to successfully complete this rigorous accreditation process every five years in order to be members of the Association. The accreditation process includes a detailed application and a meticulous on-site inspection by a team of trained zoo and aquarium professionals. The inspecting team observes all aspects of the institution’s operation, including animal care; keeper training; safety for visitors, staff and animals; educational programs; conservation efforts; veterinary programs; financial stability; risk management; visitor services; and other areas. Finally, top officials are interviewed at a formal hearing of AZA’s independent Accreditation Commission, after which accreditation is granted, tabled, or denied. Any institution that is denied may reapply one year after the Commission’s decision is made. Founded in 1924, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of zoos and aquariums in the areas of conservation, education, science, and recreation. Look for the AZA logo whenever you visit a zoo or aquarium as your assurance that you are supporting an institution dedicated to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for you, and a better future for all living things. AZA is a leader in global wildlife conservation, and your link to helping animals in their native habitats. For more information, please visit www.aza.org.

Fourth Endangered Ocelot Killed a federally listed endangered species whose historic range in the U.S. extended from South Texas up into Arkansas and Louisiana, but is now reduced to less than 50 animals, mostly in south Texas. Though loss of habitat is the single greatest
threat to the cats, an estimated 40% of ocelots from the Refuge, studied over a 30-year period, have died as a result of being struck by a vehicle. “We believe the concrete barrier is contributing to the increase in ocelot deaths by

A male ocelot was killed on State Highway 100 between Laguna Vista and Los Fresnos, Texas, on July 9, 2014. The cat was discovered by a member of the public who reported the incident to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Found along the concrete traffic barrier, the wild cat’s injuries are consistent with a vehicular collision. It is the fourth documented endangered ocelot killed by a vehicle on this stretch of highway and is the third in the last four years since the concrete traffic barrier was constructed. The ocelot was one of 12 being monitored by the Service at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The loss of this ocelot is significant in that he was 20% of the current breeding male population at the Refuge. Ocelots are

Fourth Endangered Ocelot Killed â–ş CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7
vehicles in this area� stated Laguna Atascosa Refuge Manager Boyd Blihovde. “Many animals will not, or cannot, jump them, get trapped on the road and pose a danger to drivers and themselves. We have been working with the Texas Department of Transportation on constructing wildlife crossings, but clearly more needs to be done�. For the wild population to stay healthy and genetically diverse, ocelots from the Refuge need to travel and meet up with ocelots from other populations. Crossing roads and highways is a deadly hazard for the cats. Scientific studies have shown that wildlife crossings, an under-the-road passage with fencing to funnel animals to it, are very effective at keeping wildlife off roads. Crossings have been successful in south Florida where vehicle collisions with endangered Florida panthers were a huge threat to their existence. Locally, an existing wildlife crossing on State Highway 48, near the Refuge’s Bahia Grande Unit, has been used by bobcats, raccoons and coyotes. “Under road wildlife crossings can play an important role in alleviating unnecessary ocelot deaths� says Zone Biologist Mitch Sternberg. “Because so few wild cats remain, losing one animal has a huge impact on the population. The crossings not only keep wildlife safe, but also the public�. Sternberg also stated the public plays an important role in keeping this endangered wild cat in the Rio Grande Valley. “The public can contribute to our knowledge of ocelots by watching for ocelots throughout the valley�. The public is encouraged to report any possible sightings to the Refuge by calling 956-748-3607, or after hours 956-784-7520. To learn more about ocelots in south Texas, visit the Refuge’s website www.fws.gov/refuge/ laguna_atascosa or Facebook page www.facebook.com/ LagunaAtascosaNWR
