SANTOYO

From pg. 01 show the artistry and bravery of the bullfighters, or matadors. Castaneda, who is considered to be one of the top matadors in Mexico, has made many appearances at the Santa Maria Bullring and has given many phenomenal performances. In the Jan. 25 opener at Santa Maria, Castaneda dominated a huge grey bull, from a line of Iberian Spanish bulls imported for the Santa Maria Bullring. Castaneda won two symbolic ears and a tail from the audience because of his performance. The bull blended perfectly with Castaneda’s Spanish style of fighting. His performance resembled a ballet between the two of them. Castaneda’s passes were so close the bull brushed his legs. Karla Santoyo, named the Aztec Princess by her countrymen, made her debut in the Santa Maria Bullring at 18-years-ofage during the 2013 season. She returned performed in the 2014 season and was awarded ears and a tail. Now at 20-yearsold Karla competes with the best, and Fred Renk believes she will give an outstanding

performance on Sunday. She is the youngest woman matador of the four active women in the world. Karla was born into the dynasty of Santoyo, which is as classical as a matadora can get. Her father and uncle were both highly-ranked professional matadors and her grandfather owns the largest brave bull ranch in the state. Being trained by them has given her an edge most young matadors do not have. On Sunday, Feb. 8, the audience will see who will dominate the bulls in the Santa Maria bullring.

Golden Age Olympics petanque competition begins By Kathy Olivarez Petanque competition for the 35th Annual Golden Age Olympics, sponsored by McAllen Parks and Recreation, opened at Pleasant Valley Ranch on Jan. 20 with a lighted torch carried by Hermel Pelletier. Behind him was a group of men carrying the medals for winners of the competition. Pentaque, which is a French sport similar to bacche ball, is a very popular sport in Europe. In fact, there was a team from Germany playing in this year’s GAO competition. They came two years ago and won the tournament and returned this year to see if they could do it again. The sport has grown in popularity in the Golden Age Olympics as more and more French Canadians choose to make the Rio Grande Valley their winter home. Many Winter Texans from the states have also taken up the sport because almost anyone can play it without stressing their bodies. There were 71 teams with 213 players from eight parks across the Valley competing in the petanque tournament. The game is played on a long, narrow court about the size of a shuffleboard court. There are three players on each team. Before the game starts, a person from the team that will start throws out a

little red ball. My teacher, Roger Mathieu of Massachusetts, said the ball is commonly referred to as a piglet or just a pig. The pig must land between the red marks on either end of the court or be thrown over. If is hits the wall of the court it must also be thrown over. The object of game is to get the ball as close to the pig as possible. The team with the ball closest to the pig gets the point after both teams have played. If they have two balls closer to the pig than anyone on the other team, they can get two points. See PENTAQUE pg. 12

Kenaston Band featuring guest performers

The Roger Kenaston Band from Nebraska will have additional guest performers at Riverside and Wink’s this week. Along with Roger Kenaston, his wife Sharon Kenaston and “Chet Atkins Style” picker Jerry Porter, the band will include singer Jimmy Hansen from Burwell, Nebraska and drummer Deb Nelson from Libby, Montana. Jimmy Hansen is a seasoned performer who has been a regional favorite in Central Nebraska for many years. According to Sharon Kenaston, Director of the Wahoo Country Music Show in Wahoo, Nebraska,

“Hansen is one of those special performers that should have been a super-star.” His charisma and stage presence is like that of Opry stars from days gone by, truly professional.” In addition, Deb Nelson will be drumming with the Roger Kenaston Band for two weeks. She is originally from Council Bluffs, Iowa but has recently moved to Libby, Montana. “She’s an excellent drummer and will be a great addition,” says Kenaston. Having an additional band member will

allow for more variety from the two great guitar pickers in the band, Roger Kenaston and Jerry Porter. The two have worked shows and dances together for 30 years beginning when Porter was just a teenager. Winter Texans see the five-piece band at Riverside on Wednesday, Feb. 11 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and at Wink’s on Thursday Feb. 12 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Other scheduled performances for the Roger Kenaston Band this week include Citrus Valley on Feb. 13 and Gateway RV Park in Raymondville on the Feb. 14.

Texas Citrus Fiesta announces Winter Texan winners

The Texas Citrus Fiesta Parade of Oranges would be the same without the participation of the many Winter Texans who get involved in float building and many other aspects of the Fiesta. There were many excellent floats in the parade on Saturday, Jan. 31 rockin’ down Conway Avenue to the theme of “Old Time Rock & Roll.” In the Golf Cart Division, first place went to Oleander Acres RV & Mobile Park.

In the Winter Texan I float category, which is composed of parks with less that 250 spaces, Twin Lakes RV Park won first place. In the Winter Texan II category, is composed of Winter Texan Parks with over 250 spaces, Mission Bell-Trade Winds RV Resort captured first place, while second place went to Green Gate Grove Park, and third place was awarded to Bentsen Palm RV Park. In the Valley Product float division,

Split Rail RV Park in Mission earned the third place trophy, while newcomer Mission Collegiate High School took second and talented competitor Our Lady of Guadalupe Church captured the prized first place trophy for the second year in a row. Two years ago, Split Rail beat out Our Lady of Guadalupe, taking first place in the Valley Products Division. Last year, Split Rail won second place. The Valley Products Division is the most prestigious competition, since these

floats are required to be covered with citrus and other agricultural products grown in the Rio Grande Valley. For a fresh-looking presentation on parade day, much of the work of slicing and affixing the citrus to the float must be done the night before the parade. A very big thanks to all the Winter Texans who participated in this special parade. It simply would not be as much fun without Winter Texan participation.

From pg. 06 There are three players to a team and each player throws two balls per turn. Petanque balls weigh seven to eight grams. After each player had thrown, the winner was determined by measurement. The first team to reach 13 points is the winner of the round. The first team to win two rounds wins the game. Often one of the players can hit the pig and move it so that a ball that landed next to it at the beginning of the set may not be near it at the end. Rose Leclerc of Quebec threw the opening ball on the court. Richard Girard, Pleasant Valley captain, and Gaston Sairdo, Lake Texano captain, both of Quebec, moved about the court measuring and determining which balls were out, and which balls won each set. The teams were evenly matched because they were close in score all the way though the first round. After watching a bit of play I spoke with Debra Kost and Ray Battista, park managers at Pleasant Valley Ranch. They explained that Pleasant Valley has six team courts and over 150 players. Kost

said the park has the nicest petanque courts in the Valley, which is why the petanque competition is held there, where residents are 75 to 80 percent French Canadian. “Petanque is their favorite activity next to line dancing or trail dancing,” Kost explained. “Many Canadians retire at younger ages than we do in the United States and they like sports to keep them active, ” Battista added. “Many of our residents play at least twice a week and then take part in our weekly tournaments.” Rick Krauss, who was there officially representing the McAllen Golden Age Olympics, said petanque is one of 40 different competitions the city is sponsoring over nine weeks of events. He added that most of the events are being run by volunteers. Hermel Pelletier and Reinelde Laforge were volunteer coordinators for the petanque competition. Four days of competition was scheduled to determine the final winners due to the large number of players. After the competition ended on Jan. 28 winners of the four-day competition were announced. Gold medal winners were Jean-Pierre Julien, Micheline Coutu and Claude Perreault of Pleasant Valley RV Resort. Silver medals went to Denis Leblanc, Cécile Lalancette and Nicole Forand of Sleepy Valley RV Resort. Bronze Medals went to Guy Côté Raymond Roy and Léon Larivière.
