The expansion of the Los Fresnos CISD Police department continues, as newly hired officers join the ranks and complete trainings to ensure student and campus safety for the 2022-23 school year is met. The Los Fresnos CISD police officers cleared the hallways of an empty Los Cuates Middle School as they participated in the Customs and Border Protection Active Shooter Training Program (ASTP). The two-day, interactive training is part of ongoing efforts to enhance multiagency response to a reported active shooter emergency on campus ahead of the first day of school on Monday, August 15th.The LFCISD officers and CBP agents completed the ASTP, which is similar to SMART training. The group was educated on how to assess active threat situations, communicate efficiently, and worked in tandem to negotiate realworld scenarios in hallways and in toandofficersthemselvesPD,withoutsideisfor“Offeringclassrooms.ourfacilitiesactiveshootertrainingskeybecauseanytimeagenciestrainLosFresnosCISDtheywillfamiliarizewithourandourcampuses,ourofficersareableimprovetheirskillsand practice our protocols” said Jimmy McDonough, Deputy Superintendent for Operations.
Los Fresnos Police Department Expansion District administration and Police Chief Joe Vasquez have devoted much attention to growing the LFCISD Police Department, successfully hiring nine new officers over the summer. In May, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Gonzalo Salazar, made the recommendation following the active shooter tragedy in Uvalde that took 22 lives. The Board of Trustees approved the addition, which amounts to over $400,000 in recurring salary costs to the“Thebudget.presence of a police officer on each of our fourteen campuses not only enhances the safety of our students and staff, but provides peace of mind to concerned parents. We are immediately implementing new strict security and safety measures this year,” said Superintendent Dr. Gonzalo Salazar. The noticeable changes will start when students arrive on Monday, greeted by one Los Fresnos CISD police officer at each of the district’s fourteen campuses. They will be stationed at a desk in the hallway and will actively patrol the perimeter throughout the day. In addition, it is standard practice that all classroom doors remain locked through the day. Exterior doors have been assessed and alarms are being installed on strategically identified exterior doors. The district will continue to utilize surveillance cameras to oversee hallways, and the RAPTOR identification system to clear on-campus visitors. Soon, a Knox Box that holds the set of master keys to each campus will be installed for law enforcement to access in the event of an active shooter emergency. The Los Fresnos CISD actively participates in safety and security meetings, with audits executed every three years. “We take commitmentourto meeting safety protocols seriously. We have Memorandums of Understanding and constant communication with surrounding law enforcement agencies that will allow us to keep lines of communication open and provide additional training opportunities and support to all staff,” said McDonough.

ANSWERED by DR.ADAM LALONDE: The grinding & clenching of teeth, also termed Bruxism does pose an oral health risk to your teeth. Bruxism can cause teeth to become painful or loose, & sometimes parts of the teeth can literally be groundSevereaway.bruxism may also be associated temporomandibularwith (jaw) joint disorder (TMD). It is estimated that 30- 40 million people in the U.S. suffer from bruxism, & many of them don’t even know it! Some people grind or clench their teeth during the day, but others grind their teeth only during sleep, & aren’t even aware they do so until someone comments that they make a grinding sound while sleeping. Other potential signs of bruxism include aching in the face, head & neck.Bruxism can be linked to a variety of causes such as stress & anxiety, sleep disorders or by the body’s reaction to an abnormal bite or teeth that are missing or crooked. Your dentist can help you determine the potential source of your bruxism by asking careful questions and thoroughly examining your teeth. Your dentist may suggest a mouth guard to protect your teeth during sleep or suggest ways to even out your bite.

By Ruben Rodriguez Los Fresnos News As we throughoutcontinueAugust, The Corpus Christi Hooks look to continue their dominance as they look to move up the standings in the Texas League Southern division. After winning the last two against the Amarillo Sod Poodles. Corpus looked to continue their win streak as they hosted the Springfield Cardinals. The Bats came hot as Corpus took control early on and captured game one in shutout fashion 10-0. Game two saw the Hooks and Cardinals in a shootout and a nail biter as both teams managed secure hits in their opening innings. Edwin Diaz of the Hooks hit two homeruns on back to back at bats. Corpus would win the thriller 5-4. Game three saw Corpus again dominate on offense and defense to win 7-2. Game four on Friday night was a thriller as the Hooks managed to win 7-6. Corpus would eventually lose the last two games but still won the series over Springfield.Withtheseason winding down, the Hooks have a few key matchups left with San Antonio, Frisco, Wichita, Tulsa and Arkansas. The Hooks offense has been led by Edwin Diaz, Will Wagner, Grae Kessinger, CJ Stubbs, Joe Perez and Cesar Salazar. Pitching for the Hooks has been stellar by Cody Deason, Freyline Garcia and Michael Horrell.Despite losing Enmanuel Valdez, Wilyer Abreu and more recently Justin Dirden, the Hooks still look like a strong contender in the Texas League South. Frisco still remains as the number one seed.

Arnold Blessed be thy graying head Thy thoughts to eternity Of love ‘twas shared for many years With times of joy and times of tears A flaming candle still burning clear. The folded hands of quiet repose That rest so gracefully With lines of care by memory worn That clapped so joyfully And wrested from the cares of life To give the gift of love And guided children safely through With gentleness of dove. The eyes now dim That brightly shone Yet sparkle happily, When prompted by a vision past Recalled so lovingly. And though the candle flickers And shadows move about, The light it gives doth warm and guide Until it flickers out. DECLARINg MOtOR ABANDONEDVEHICLEs

RIO VALLEY,GRANDETEXAS –AUG. 9, 2022 – UTRGV has been awarded a $1,199,998 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish the Center for Equity in Engineering: Engage, Educate, Enrich (CEE-E3).Thenew center is designed to engineeringparticipationbroadeninstudies and bolster early engagement in engineering for middle to high school students. “I am thrilled, honored and appreciative to have a part in the creation of the Center for Equity in Engineering,” said Dr. Ala Qubbaj, dean of the UTRGV College of Engineering and Computer Science and principal investigator (PI) on the project. The center is set to open on Oct. 1, 2022, and will be housed within the UTRGV College of Engineering and Computer Science building on the Edinburg Campus.Oneof the center’s main goals is to support UTRGV engineering students connectionsthroughand programs that increase engagement, retention and overall success in engineering. In addition, the center will help increase placement rates in the engineering workforce and graduate programs.Qubbajsaid CEE-E3 will be among the first in the country to be awarded funding from the NSF to address the inequities that hinder the participation of Hispanics in the engineering workforce. “This center is also important at the national level, evidenced by the NSF’s funding, as Hispanics represent one of the Unitedpopulationsfastest-growingintheStates,yetone of the least represented in engineering,” he said. “Increasing the participation of Hispanics in engineering serves the national interest of strengthening America’s STEM workforce and global competitiveness.” Dr. Alyssa Cavazos, director of the UTRGV Center for succeed.wherecreateexperiences,voices,willtheasaidpersonnelExcellenceTeachingandseniorontheproject,sheisthrilledtobepartofthecreationofnewcenter,whichfocusonstudentknowledgeandandwilllearningspacesallstudentscan

He states that “No matter what, you will have one officer fullemphasizestime.”McDonoughthe fact that the school district has done everything it can to have high-level protection for the students going back this 2022-23 school year.“The change is that we’re adding nine officers,” McDonough shares they won’t just have patrols but will have officers stationed at each campus.Thisnew initiative will add over $400,000.00 in salary costs alone (which is recurring). There will also be a $42,000 initial start-up cost to pay for equipment like radios, uniforms, weapons, badges, and other things the district would need for their Police Officers. At the Rotary meeting, one of the questions asked was how difficult was it to obtain 9 more officers for the Los Fresnos School district. The question was followed by McDonough stating how very fortunate the board was for acting quickly on this matter. He says, “We beat the rush.” Because of that, the district was able to get approved. Chief Vasquez says there are “Seven on board and two in the process.”McDonough “If we did not start in May, we would not be able to have all those slots filled.” He says, “We were very lucky.”LosFresnos CISD has had its own independent Police Force for more than twenty years according to McDonough. LFCISD has also continued to improve its partnership and collaboration with the local Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies. Los Fresnos police department assistant chief Rodriguez shared that since the Uvalde shooting the department has been having meetings constantly to ensure they are staying up to date on equipment. “We have breaching devices,” he further shares they, along with the fire department have tools to get into just about any facility quickly andLoseffectively.FresnosPD has regular meetings with the School district’s police force; Rodriguez mentions training together to ensure the new officers get proper training, including active shooter training. “We are going to continue to train on a oneto-one bases with officers from the school district to ensure this doesn’t occur in our district itself.” Rodriguez ends by saying the Los Fresnos PD is here to protect all of Los Fresnos.Many people at the meeting thanked the district along with the PD for keeping Los Fresnos safe.
“The work of the center at a HispanicServing Institution (HSI) like UTRGV is critical to creating multiple pathways for underrepresented minority students to be successful in engineering fields where many continue to face challenges and barriers to their success,” she“Itsaid.isexciting that UTRGV is set to become a national model for diversity, inclusion and professional preparation of underrepresented minority students in engineering.”
