Editor’s note: A reader called The Advance last week asking if he could get a copy of this sto-ry which originally ran in this newspaper six years ago (how time flies). His point was, public corruption isn’t something new and it’s still around today, which is why he wanted to re-read the story.
Maybe in the RGV we’re seeing more than our fair share of it lately from Brownsville to Rio Grande City; but public corruption has been around for-ever. Human beings are human beings. Some good; some bad. Politics just makes it that much harder for a good person to stay honest and true because there are more than a few vendors, or so court records show, who are willing to hand out cash and fa-vors for business.
Some escape the feds’ notice; some don’t; begging the ques-tion: How much money is pris-on time really worth?
The following story, however, helps illustrate the point – Val-ley corruption was perhaps even wilder back in the “old days.”

In a unique use of the state’s public comment law, Edinburg Coun-cilmember Gilbert En-ríquez on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, near the end of
the regular meeting of the Edinburg City Council, revealed that he had been “removed” the previous day from the five-mem-ber Board of Directors of the city’s Edinburg Economic Development Corporation.
On Monday, April 15, 2019, during an early afternoon special meet-ing of the City Council, Gilbert Enríquez was replaced by Sonia En-ríquez, a licensed sales producer for the Roy Ti-jerina Insurance Agency of Edinburg.
Gilbert Enríquez and Sonia Enríquez – who goes by the name of Sonia Enríquez Loza-no on her professional business card – do not have any family ties, the Edinburg city coun-cilmember emphasized.
“I also want to wish the new appointee, Ms.
Sonia Enríquez – she’s not related to me, so I wanted to make sure everyone understands that – she’s not related to me,” Gilbert Enríquez said. “I want to wish her good luck, and hopeful-
ly that she does the right thing, she’s an indepen-dent thinker, she asks questions, and most of all that she’s transparent. I know she’ll do well.”
But Gilbert Enríquez said he had initially want-ed to publicly thank peo-ple who had helped him serve on the Edinburg EDC Board of Directors, “but I wasn’t allowed to” during the Monday, April 15, 2019 special meet-ing of the Edinburg City Council.
As a result, the coun-cilmember resorted to signing up for the public comment section of the Tuesday, April 16, 2019 meeting to express his viewpoints.
In general, a public comment is an opportu-nity for any interested person to submit data,

If you want to know what real “FAKE NEWS” is, consider The New York Post and the dodgy story it recently published (April 13) about the Rio Grande Valley. The headline sets the salacious tone: “Tex-as oasis of wealth and luxury thrives on traffick-ing near the border.”
That story paints a perfect picture of fake news. It mixes in a few facts with unsubstantiated claims from anonymous sources and basically reads like the National Enquirer sans the story about the lap dancer and the Holly-wood movie star and the child they have produced. The story leaves you wondering if The Post mistook the Rio Grande Valley for Miami back in the cocaine heydays of the 1980s. Luxuries and drug money and flashy cars as far as the eye can see.
By the way, the current owner of The New York Post, Aussie native Ru-pert Murdoch, whose money launched Fox TV, made his fortune off printing salacious gossip. He assumed control of his deceased father’s news-papers at the young age of only 21, and soon found that muckraking was a good way to make money. In the 1960s, he expand-ed his growing newspaper empire to the UK, where

HIDALGO —U.S. Cus-toms and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the Hidalgo and Anzalduas International Bridges seized $280,420 worth of cocaine in two sep-arate, unrelated incidents.
“These interceptions of hard narcotics are a contin-ued reflection of the small load concept CBP officers encounter at our internation-al bridges,” said Port Direc-tor Sylvia Briones, Hidalgo/ Pharr/Anzalduas Port of En-try. “Our officers’ outstand-ing perseverance and dedi-cation is unwavering.”
The first seizure occurred on April 16 at the Hidal-go-Reynosa International Bridge after a CBP officer referred a white 2002 Nissan Sentra driven by a 34-year-old woman from Mexico for a secondary examination. Officers conducting the sec-ondary inspection discov-ered 12 packages weighing 31.43 pounds (14.26 kg) of
alleged cocaine hid-den within the ve-hicle. CBP OFO seized the vehi-cle and the co-caine, which has a street value of $242,420.
Later that same day, at the Anzalduas International Bridge, a CBP officer referred a 40-year-old woman from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico and the red 2007 Saturn Aura she was driving for further inspection. The second-ary examination resulted in
the discovery of two packages of alleged
cocaine weighing 4.9 pounds (2.24 kg). These nar-cotics are valued at $38,000.CBP OFO
seized all the nar-cotics, both vehicles
and arrested the two women involved in the failed drug smuggling attempts. Home-land Security Investigations (HSI) agents took custody of the females and the cases continue under their investi-gation.

After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, ‘You know, I was a fool when I married you.’ The husband replied, ‘Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn’t no-tice.’
A husband said to his wife, ‘No, I don’t hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law better than I like mine.’
A man said his credit card was stolen but he decided not to report it because the thief was spending less than his wife did.
My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.
A psychiatrist is a person who will give you expen-sive answers that your wife will give you for free.
The theory used to be you marry an older man be-cause they are more mature. The new theory is that men don’t mature. So you might as well marry a younger one.
A husband is living proof that a wife can take a joke.
Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.
“I’ve had bad luck with both my wives. The first one left me, and the second one didn’t.”
I bought my wife a new car. She called and said, ‘There’s water in the carburetor’. I said, ‘Where’s the car?’ She said, ‘In the lake’.
Marriage is mind over matter; if the husband doesn’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
My wife submits and I obey; she always lets me have her way.
There are two times a man doesn’t understand a woman, before marriage and after marriage!

ALTON - The Uniting Neighbors in Drug Abuse Defense (UNIDAD) Co-alition, a program from Behavioral Health of South Texas, Alton Police Depart-ment, and the City of Alton have cooperated together in bringing a new permanent prescription drop box to the city; first safe disposal box available in the area. The unveiling will take place on Monday April 29, 2019 at 10:00am in front of Alton Police Department.
The three collaborative agencies have developed an effective way to promote the safe disposal of expired, un-used, or unwanted prescrip-
tion drugs. This is important in preventing abuse, misuse and potential harm from easy access to prescribed and non-prescribed medica-tion. The goal is to educate adults, parents and youth about the dangers of leaving prescription drugs unattend-ed or at the reach of others. According to National Sur-vey on Drug Use and Health 2017, about one-half of those who misused prescrip-tion pain relievers in the past year (10.7 million) said that they obtained the prescrip-tion pain relievers they had most recently misused from a friend or relative for free. Therefore, the placement of the drop box marks an es-sential step towards guiding communities to stay safe
from potential harm due to misuse of medications. The Hidalgo County was able to turn in 1543.45 lbs. in the latest Take Back Day host-ed by the Drug Enforcement Agency. The latest Drop Box placed in Alton will be available to the community in hope to continue to deter medication drugs misuse/abuse
The prescription drop box will be located at the Alton Police Department where adults are encouraged to dis-pose of their prescriptions, in a safe and anonymous manner. The prescription drop box will be locked and monitored at all hours, and only handled by assigned police department staff.

Home Health Care – Stroke Prevention
Note from VDP Health Care – A major part of our health-caremission is to provide exceptional, quality home health care to ourclients. In addition, however, we strive to promote preventivehealth care so that our communities’ quality of life remains strongfor as long as possible. This week, we include this bit of advicefrom the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concerningstroke prevention:
• Eat a healthydiet. Choosinghealthful meal andsnack options canhelp you avoidstroke and itscomplications. Besure to eat plentyof fresh fruits andvegetables.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese canincrease your risk for stroke. To determine whether your weight isin a healthy range, doctors often calculate a number called thebody mass index (BMI). Doctors sometimes also use waist andhip measurements to measure a person’s excess body fat. If youknow your weight and height, you can calculate your BMI atwww.cdc.gov
• Be active. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthyweight and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. The SurgeonGeneral recommends that adults should engage in moderate-intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes on most days of theweek.
• Don’t smoke. Cigarette smoking greatly increases your riskfor stroke. So, if you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke,quitting will lower your risk. Your doctor can suggest ways tohelp you quit.
• Limit alcohol use. Avoid drinking too much alcohol, whichcauses high blood pressure.
Prevent or Treat Your Medical ConditionsIf you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or
heart disease, there are steps you can take to lower your risk forstroke.
• Have your cholesterol checked. Your health care providershould test your cholesterol levels at least once every five years.Talk with your doctor about this simple blood test.
• Monitor your blood pressure. High blood pressure has nosymptoms, so be sure to have it checked on a regular basis.
• Manage your diabetes. If you have diabetes, closely monitoryour blood sugar levels. Talk with your health care providerabout treatment options.
• Take your medicine. If you’re taking medication to treat highcholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, follow yourdoctor’s instructions carefully. Always ask questions if youdon’t understand something.

Half of TX women face barriers to reproductive health
More than half of Texaswomen faced at least one bar-rier to accessing reproductivehealth care in the years afterlawmakers dramatically alteredthe state’s family planning ser-vices, according to a new re-port by the Texas Policy Evalu-ation Project.
The project’s researchers,who are based at the Univer-sity of Texas at Austin, fo-cused on access to reproduc-tive services — including fam-ily planning, cervical cancerscreenings and contraception— starting in 2011. That’s theyear the Republican-led Legis-lature cut the state’s budget forfamily planning by two-thirdsand rejected a federally fi-nanced women’s health pro-gram in favor of a state-runprogram.
Since then, lawmakers haveworked to restore services, al-locating millions of dollars tonew programs focused onwomen’s health care. But the2011 cuts led to the closure of76 women’s health clinicsstatewide.
Affordability, insurance is-
sues and a lack of nearby pro-viders were among the top bar-riers women reported facingbetween 2011 and 2014, ac-cording to the study, which in-cluded 779 women betweenthe ages of 18 and 49. Andyoung, low-income women withless education — particularlySpanish-speaking Hispanicwomen who were born inMexico — faced the most bar-riers to reproductive services.
Lawmakers are consider-ing ways to consolidate thestate’s women’s health pro-grams to fill the gaps in accessto health care for poor women.Republican state Sen. JaneNelson of Flower Mound hassuggested combining two ma-jor programs — the TexasWomen’s Health Program andthe Expanded Primary HealthCare Program — to do it. Butsome lawmakers and healthcare advocates have warnedagainst yet another round ofchanges.

HIDALGO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Pro-tection (CBP) destroyed a tunnel created in an attempt to bypass technology and infrastructure.
On January 5, 2019, Rio Grande Valley Sector Riverine Units discovered an unfinished tunnel along the U.S. riverbank near Hi-dalgo, Texas. Agents deter-mined that a transnational criminal organization con-structed the man-made tun-nel in an attempt to avoid detection while importing people or narcotics. On
Wednesday, CBP contrac-tors filled the entire tunnel with concrete.
“Transnational criminal organizations are constantly attempting new methods of
exploiting our vul-nerabilities when
attempting to get their illic-it contraband, be it narcotics or human, into
the United Sates. This dangerous
tunnel has been filled with concrete and will no longer be used by the crimi-nal element,” stated Melissa A. Lucio, Patrol Agent in Charge of the McAllen Bor-der Patrol Station.

Funding for the project was included in the $190 million Drainage District bond approved by voters in November. The total project cost is estimated at $10.6 million and will begin with the construction of deten-tion ponds for the Las Brisas and Chapa subdivisions and Onyx Drive neighborhoods, which were among the most impacted during the 500-year rain event in June 2018.

Flying charters, you always meet some interesting char-acters along the way.
There was old Morris, who was a WWII veteran, only he fought for the Germans. After the war, he moved to Mexico and built himself a large ranch along the Gulf coast near La Pesca (The Fish). He and his wife would come up to Brownsville every few months for supplies and then have me load up the Cessna 208 and fly them back to his ranch, where I’d land on the dirt strip.
Trouble was, Morris bought so much, by the time I load-ed up the plane, the Cessna’s tail was dragging danger-ously close to the ground. I didn’t even want to figure the weight and balance; and I ignored the stares from the private pilots who noticed the tail hanging so low – You’re going to fly that thing?
Thankfully, those pilots were few in number because back in those days, airmen were still smuggling elec-tronics into Mexico, and they were all taking off heavy, so almost all of the plane tails hung low.
I knew the plane so well by that time, I knew it would take off, and a stall wasn’t a real worry. Cessna built work horses, after all. You just had to know how to load them, and the balance was the most important aspect to it all. Get it loaded as close to the center of gravity as possible. The weight balance was always more import-ant than the gross weight. To a point, at least.
(Disclaimer: Under no circumstances am I recommend-ing or implying that any pilot should ever take off in a plane that exceeds its maximum takeoff weight, based on density altitude, etc.).
On the flights down to La Pesca, about 1.5 hours south of Brownsville, Morris, sitting in the co-pilot’s seat,

Story Courtesy of Senator Juan Hinojosa AUSTIN -- This week, after much discussion and co-operation from Agua SUD leadership, Senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa filed Sen-ate Bill 2552, a local bill to strengthen the transparency and accountability of Agua SUD board members and personnel. SB 2552 would require that Agua SUD board of directors file finan-cial statements and apply conflict of interest and nep-otism laws to the directors. It also covers eligibility requirements for service as a director or general manag-er, including the disqualifi-cation of any person or his or her relative who owns or controls more than a 10% interest in the fair market value of a business that receives money from Agua SUD (the District).
SB 2552 also details pro-hibited conduct for direc-tors and employees of the District. Among its speci-fications, it provides that a director or employee may not have a personal interest in an agreement executed by the District. The bill also provides the grounds for re-moval of a director from the board if a director does not complete training and edu-cation requirements, does
not meet eligibility require-ments for service, or partic-ipates in prohibited conduct under this bill.
Openness and transparen-cy are essential to maintain the confidence of citizens in their government, as well as to ensure the ethical use of taxpayer funds. In an ef-fort to be transparent and accountable to rate payers, SB 2552 would require the District to prominently post on its website reports show-ing payments made by Agua SUD on a monthly basis. Additionally, the District would be required to post the minutes of the previous meeting within 72 hours of adoption.
Senator Hinojosa is also working with District leader-ship to re-district the bound-aries and allow for single member districts. This will ensure better representation from all cities within the District.
Senator Hinojosa released
the following statement:“I appreciate Agua SUD’s
leadership working with me to develop this legislation to further increase transpar-ency and accountability of this important utility dis-trict. The updated operating procedures, standards of conduct, budget transpar-ency, and ethics guidelines recommended in this bill are important to ensure a strong governance structure with the highest level of integrity and accountability. I applaud Board President Zeke Ortiz and General Manager Eddie Saenz for their willingness to implement many of these recommendations into their procedures before this bill becomes law.”
Esequiel “Zeke” Ortiz, Jr., Agua SUD Board President releases the following state-ment:
“As board president of Agua SUD, we want to reas-sure the community that we are working together in close partnership with Senator Hi-nojosa on this legislation as another example of the Agua Board’s commitment to transparency in our gov-ernance of this utility district and fully support Senator Hinojosa in the proposed re-districting of the Board seats to provide a more eq-uitable representation of all rate payers.”

Right now, Debby, Cin-derella’s Senior Kitty Com-mittee volunteer, has a pair of adorable nine-week-old tabby brothers, Danny and Stanley, in foster care, pend-ing neutering in 3 weeks. These sweet, playful little fellows have been in her care along with their mom, Stella, since shortly after their birth.
Both boys have strikingly handsome coats and facial markings. Stanley, espe-cially, has unusual beige highlights on his face, add-ing extra appeal to his great big expressive eyes. We’re hoping that this bonded pair of brothers can be adopted together, and are offering them at a special reduced fee for the lucky person who has room for both in a lov-ing home.
Even though they can’t be taken home until they’ve had their neuter operations, you can see them now and “pre-adopt” them. Don’t miss out on this pair of playful and affectionate lit-tle boy cats. They will bring you joy. love, and compan-ionship for many years to come.
Their mom, Stella, (pic-tured in last week’s paper) was recently spayed and is also available for adoption in the near future. Her gen-tle nature is matched only by her good looks. Her lovely light-gray short-haired tab-by coat is the perfect back-drop for her big, greenish gold eyes. If you’re looking for a young adult cat, Stella is the “whole package”:
b e a u t y , p e r s o n -a l i t y , charm!

PHARR— The PSJA Southwest Early College High School theatre troupe made history recently as they advanced to Region in the UIL One-Act Play competition with their pro-duction of “The Book of Everything,” they will be competing today Tuesday in San Antonio.
In celebration of their milestone, PSJA Southwest theatre directors Sergio Sauceda, Johnny Trillayes and Carlos Palacios recruit-ed the help of the PSJA Southwest Javelina band, cheerleaders and district and campus administration to surprise the cast and crew with a special sendoff ahead of their competition.
“(Our) community is great,” PSJA Southwest Theatre Director Sergio Sauceda said. “We’ve had so much support from the school board members, from our principal, from admin-istration. We want to come back with good news when we compete on Tuesday so just seeing the kids’ faces with excitement makes what we do worthwhile.”
During their Area contest in Harlingen on April 2, sev-eral students won individu-al awards, including Starr Candelaria, who received the Outstanding Technician award and Christopher Ni-canor, who got Honorable Mention. Additionally, Kate Luna, Jackie Arellano, Rubi Quintero, Ximena Juarez, Leonardo Leon, Melissa Ro-
cha and F e r n a n -da Lopez received an En-s e m b l e Aw a r d , and Che G r e e n o and So-phia Pulido received the coveted All-Star Cast award.
“I think it’s incredible to see how much we’ve grown together to make it this far,” said PSJA Southwest Junior Che Greeno. “I’m praying that we can advance to the next level with our group. It’s been amazing to be a part of this company and it’s been so great to grow with everybody. It’s just been an incredible experience and I’m so thankful for every-thing that we have.”

You may just be asking “what’s in the RGV FC To-ros’ Gatorade lately?”
After starting the season 0-3-2, the Toros are sudden-ly in the midst or a race in the Western Conference of the United Soccer League Championship.
Offense was a major prob-lem through the first five matches of the year as the Toros scored just three goals in that time. Then, during the second game of their homestand at H-E-B Park, the Toros earned their first win, 2-1, over Oklahoma City.
Maybe that long sought-after win was what they needed to burst open the scoring dam. Because in their most recent match on Saturday, the Toros fired away and scored five goals in a 5-2 win over the Las Ve-gas Lights
Four different Toros found the back of the net in the 5-2 victory, their second in a row. The total was just one short of the club record of six goals scored in one game back in 2016.
Wilmer Cabrera, along with Brownsville native and former UTRGV Vaque-ro Isidro Martinez, scored inside the first 20 minutes to put the Toros up 2-0 at halftime. In the second half, Maalique Foster and substi-tute Carlos Small added two more. A Lights’ own goal also contributed to the To-ros’ victory total.
RGV FC also climbed the standings with those back-to-back victories, improving to 2-3-2 overall with eight
points. The evening began with a logjam of 11 teams within three points of each other in the Western Confer-ence standings of the United Soccer League Champion-ship.
“We’ve been talking about the offense the past three or four weeks,” RGV FC coach Gerson Echeverry. “We made extra passes. The guys were looking for each other.”
Cabrera said the win gives the Toros more confidence playing together as a team. Of course, scoring five goals helps as well.
Martinez came in Satur-day with two assists but net-ted his first goal off a feed from Foster, four minutes at Cabrera put the Toros on the board.
“Both (Cabrera and Marti-nez) are playing really, real-ly well,” Echeverry said.
The Toros controlled the ball for only 37 percent of the time but produced eight shots (four on target) with four corner kicks. Mean-while, Las Vegas totaled 20 shots, eight on goals with eight corner kicks.
The Toros concluded their three-game homestand with seven points after going 2-0-1 and improved to 2-1 against Las Vegas,
The Toros start a three-game road trip on Wednes-day with a visit to Los An-geles Galaxy II. They return to H-E-B Park on May 18 to face the Galaxy II again and play against San Antonio at home the following week on May 25.

EDINBURG – The City of Edinburg and the Edinburg Eco-nomic Development Corporation (EDC), along with the Texas Eco-nomic Division in the Office of the Governor, the Rio Grande Val-ley Partnership, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), and the U.S. Small Business Administration, co-hosted the Governor’s Small Business Conference on Friday, March 29, 2019, at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renais-sance.
The event featured two half-day sessions—one for existing busi-nesses and one for startups. Small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs were provided with timely, relevant, actionable advice on how to start, operate, grow and sustain their businesses.
“We had a great turnout for the conference and are very hap-py to have been able to partner with Governor Abbott and his economic development team to host this event,” said Edinburg Mayor and Edinburg EDC Board Director Richard Molina. “This was a great opportunity for our small business community from throughout the Rio Grande Valley to come together to network, acquire tools and resources on how to grow and sustain their
businesses, and learn about the resources and opportunities available to them through the Governor’s Office, local, region-al, state and federal agencies,” he continued.
In addition to information sessions, attendees were also
treated to panels with local and state business and economic devel-opment leaders who shared their advice and tips to success.
“The Rio Grande Valley is thriving with the success of our local businesses and entrepre-neurs and this conference provid-ed our regional business leaders with tools for success,” stated Joey Treviño, Edinburg EDC Ex-ecutive Director and conference panelist. “As Governor Abbott has stated, ‘Small business own-ers truly are the backbone of our economy,’ and we are proud to partner with them to help ensure they have the knowledge and tools to help their businesses grow,” he added,
The event was well attended, with local entrepreneurs and re-gional businesses leaders partici-pating in sessions throughout the day-long conference. The Gover-nor’s Office hosts several events throughout the year all over the state with the focus of helping our local businesses succeed.

EDINBURG – The Ed-inburg Consolidated In-dependent School District Board of Trustees recently honored the district’s Police Department for earning the national Security 500 Rank-ings award for 2018, which recognized the school dis-trict for its safety and secu-rity policies, and efforts to keep students safe.
“Congratulations to Edin-burg CISD on its success-ful security and safety pro-gram,” said Diane Ritchey, Editor-in-Chief of Security Magazine, which conduct-ed the 2018 Security 500 report. “Securing a school district, including its fa-cilities, students, staff and visitors, is a large undertak-ing that requires leadership, innovation, dedication, and strong partnerships.”
Ritchey said that her team has been monitoring the work of the ECISD Police Department in the area of security, ranking the de-partment among the top 30 school districts in the U.S. and the top five in Texas.
“I’m very honored and ex-cited to receive this award because it demonstrates the hard work that these offi-cers do on a daily basis,
protecting our students, our staff and our visitors on the school district’s jurisdic-tions and properties,” said ECISD Police Chief Ricar-do Perez Jr.
Edinburg CISD is the only school district in Hi-dalgo County and in South Texas with a fully active SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team with 16 SWAT members, including a tactical medic.
“Edinburg CISD contin-ues to show its leadership in this area, particularly with its recent accomplishment of having a dedicated mem-ber of law enforcement on site at each district cam-pus,” Ritchey said. “It is an honor to highlight such a successful, resilient, and unique security program.”
The district’s police de-partment consists of approx-imately 120 team members, including 81 police officers and 30 security guards.
“This award represents one of the departments that is the vital component in creating a safer learning environment for our stu-dents and for ensuring that our taxpayers’ property is protected from damage, de-struction and vandalism, be-cause officers put their lives on the line,” Perez said.

one former editor said that Murdoch told him, after ac-quiring The Sun, “I want a tear-away paper with lots of (slang word for breasts) in it.”
The worst part about Mur-doch, from a newspaper standpoint, is that every country in which he has media holdings, he’s be-come bosom buddies with the political elite. When he wants a favor, he expects them to call. Same with women. He’s on wife num-ber four, Mick Jagger’s ex, Jerry Hall, who is only 26 years younger than Rupe. His previous wife, a Chi-nese national, was 38 years younger. Today, he looks like a bald-headed, homely guy dating his great-grand-daughter who looks like she loves to, well, marry rich guys. The fact that he’s a billionaire had nothing to do with either marriage. Or does money overcome age and looks? I mean, at some point, though, the marriage has to be consummated, bil-lions or not.
“Rupert, can you please turn off the lights? You know, I’m optimistic this time. I re-ally am. I think two Viagra pills will work. Just don’t stress over it.”
Have these women forgotten that Murdoch forced them to sign a pre-nup?
The story published in the April 13, 2019 issue of The NY Post, however, is kind of like that. It’s so hideous; it’s hard to look at, much less
read.
Here’s the deal. Yes, the Val-ley is one of the countries’ poorest regions per capita. Thanks to border trade and a growing retail and medical community, however, not to mention the maquilas, there are tens of thousands of peo-
ple who live here doing hon-est work who have nothing to do with the cross-border drug trade. They’ve worked hard, gotten in touch with a good education and/or trade, and are making good mon-ey. There is, after all, such a thing as good, honest work that pays well.
According to The NY Post, however, there is a caveat that comes with that:
“In addition to cross-border shoppers, who local store owners said make up 30
percent of McAllen’s $3.2 billion in annual retail sales, the city is a favorite desti-nation for drug traffickers.” (NY Post; 4/13/2019.)
Sure, but so what? So is Dal-las, not to mention, San An-tonio and Houston. They are even shopping in New York City. Imagine that?
Then the story quotes an anonymous “federal law-en-forcement source,” who is probably working to justify his/her presence here:
“It’s all about smuggling here,” said a federal law-en-forcement source. “Whether it’s drugs, or people smug-gling, the cartels are laun-dering their cash right here.”
Then shut up and arrest them if you have the proof.
They may be laundering cash here, but according to three sources with whom I spoke, there simply isn’t a lot of laundering going on. At least not any more. Not since the feds have really cracked down on it.
I spoke to three sources that I’ve known for at least three decades. One is a top-level banker; one is an executive at a title company; and one is deep into brokering com-mercial real estate. I won’t name them for obvious rea-sons. Who wants their name tied even remotely to a story about drug traffickers?
Nevertheless, all three were aware of The Post story, and had read it, or had been told of its contents. All three thought it was utter BS.
Thanks to federal and state
regulations, it is nearly im-possible to launder drug money here either through a bank or real estate, they said. Even if a dummy LLC is set up through which to launder it, the financial people on this side need to do their due diligence in determining for sure that the money is clean, or else they could be in trou-ble with the law.
It’s also why some banks here have had to tell their Mexican national customers that they can no longer han-dle their deposits. Why? Be-cause it’s impossible for the banks to guarantee that the money isn’t dirty; and if the bank auditors aren’t satisfied that the bank deposits are le-git, the bank is in for a world of hurt.
At the title company, at clos-ing, same thing: the money has already been cleaned when it arrives or else the closing won’t happen.
According to my title com-pany source: “I had one guy ask me if he could bring cash to the closing, and I told him
that he had to bring either a cashier’s check or a money order. How am I going to take a hundred thousand dol-lars or so in cash?”
The NY Post story uses a high-class automobile deal-er as proof that this area is loaded with Mexican drug traffickers who not only live here but launder their mon-ey here, and buy expensive consumer goods. Rolex watches; luxury vehicles.
It’s as if out of the approx-imate 900,000 people who call this county home, there aren’t enough people – doc-tors, lawyers, strippers -- around to afford a high-dol-lar foreign luxury car.
I’m serious. This is called “responsible journalism.”
Problem is, the story mixes in some facts, so it comes across as purely legit to people who don’t know this area. For example, the story mentions disgraced Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trev-iño who is now out of fed-eral prison after pleading guilty to money laundering, which conveniently fits the narrative of this story. Plus, he did accept money from a known drug trafficker. The problem is, that’s not news. How many sheriffs in the RGV have been con-victed of a crime related to drug traffickers? Too many to keep track of, or let’s say, it’s not easy, there have been so many.
Unfortunately, the crooked sheriffs are remembered far more than the honest ones, which is sad in a way.

Story Courtesy of McAllen ISD
McALLEN – Mia Cano, a junior of the Lamar Academy/IB Programme in McAllen has been selected to travel to NASA’s Johnson Space Cen-ter (JSC) this summer to par-ticipate in the High School Aerospace Scholars (HAS) program.
Nominated by their state legislator, Mia Cano has been selected as one of 270 high school juniors from across Texas to be part of this unique NASA program.
During the school year, se-lected students completed a
16-week interactive, online curriculum including four dis-tance-learning modules each
containing four web-based as-signments. The onsite expe-rience at NASA will include working in teams, briefings and interaction with NASA experts, tours of JSC facilities and applying their newfound knowledge working as a team to plan and design a mission to Mars.
Mia’s onsite experience will conclude with a presentation of their proposal to attending parents, members of the Tex-as Legislature, Houston Live-stock Show and Rodeo, Rota-ry National Award for Space Achievement, and JSC senior management.
The state of Texas, in part-
nership with JSC and the Tex-as educational community, developed HAS in 1999 to encourage more students to pursue studies and careers in science, technology, engineer-ing and mathematics (STEM). More than 10,000 students from across Texas have been impacted by the program since its inception 20 years ago.
With this program, NASA continues the Agency’s tra-dition of investing in the na-tion’s educational programs. It is directly tied to the Agen-cy’s education goal of attract-ing and retaining students in STEM disciplines critical to NASA’s future missions,
which includes their mission to MARS.
“The determination it takes to complete this rigorous HAS program shows great char-acter of the students who are already balancing school, ex-tracurricular activities, and applying for college. Time management is a key compo-nent for success. Once the students spend time at NASA and are mentored by NASA experts (which also includes HAS alumni), their brilliant minds are more determined than ever to take their next gi-ant leap into a STEM related field.” Jessica Cordero, HAS Manager.

FUTURO RGVBy Davis Rankin
McAllen city commission-ers Monday night voted to give Catholic Charities a per-mit to operate a new respite
center for immigrants at 111 South 15th St., the southeast corner of Austin and 15th That’s in downtown, not far from the old location on Beaumont Avenue.
Commissioners voted 3-2 to approve the new location, with Commissioners John In-gram (up for re-election), Aida Ramirez and Javier Villalobos voting “yes’, and Commis-sioners Omar Quintanilla and Veronica Vela Whitacre voting ‘no’. Commissioners J.J. Zamora and Mayor Jim Darling were absent. Com-missioner Ramirez, acting as mayor for the meeting, had to vote to break the tie.
In February, commissioners voted to give Catholic Chari-
ties 90 days to move and then the South 15th St. property surfaced. Commissioners also voted to give them until June 15th to be out of the Hackber-ry location.
The City was the one ap-plying to itself for the permit (which it has done before) and here are excerpts from the memorandum sent to City Manager Roy Rodriguez and then included in the backup materials provided commis-sioners for the meeting:
The applicant, City of McAl-len, has requested to use this property as a respite center. It will operate 24/7, and volun-teers from Catholic Charities will take care of the daily op-erations of the center. The ap-
plicant is proposing to utilize an existing two-story building of approximately 37,800 sq. ft. The first story of the build-ing consists of approximately 23,400 sq. ft., and the second story consists of 14,400 sq. ft. Should the conditional use permit be approved, security would need to be provided.
Staff from various depart-ments met with Catholic Charities representatives and the property owner on site. During the inspection, it was found that 19 toilets, 9 urinals, and 14 sinks exist within the building. Catholic Charities is also proposing to build 4 showers for men, and 4 showers for women. Indi-viduals coming to the respite center will be dropped off at the McAllen Bus Station, and then walk to the proposed site. People will be processed
at the respite center, and will then be taken back to the McAllen Bus Station by Cath-olic Charities personnel so they can be bused to other lo-cations.
Sister Norma Pimentel, from Catholic Charities, indi-cated that some meals will be catered, and other meals will be warmed up at the prem-ise. The Health Department indicated that the food will need to be handled by food handlers and managers with proper certification, and com-ply with other Health Code Regulations.
The commission vote came after a few people spoke in opposition, including Timo-thy Wilkins, who ran against Commissioner Javier Vil-lalobos for the District 1 seat but lost.
Out and moved by June 15
always took great delight pulling from his pocket a few old photos of himself from WWII wearing his German uniform. An offi-cer, he was, and proud of it. Regular German army, brown uniform, not the black Nazi Gestapo cos-tume.
“That was some war,” he used to say, shaking his head.
His wife was in the back seat. “Morris,” she’d al-ways say, like she’d heard the story a million times and figured no one else wanted to hear it, but I was always did. Tell me the story from the Germans’ point of view, Morris. You weren’t all Nazis.
Harvey was another in-teresting character. A rich rancher who had a large spread northwest of Rio Grande City, I’d fly from Brownsville, pick him up at the dirt strip on the ranch and fly him wherev-er he wanted to go. Texas, Florida, New Mexico.
I flew him on a long trip one time to some million-aire’s spread in Florida, but when we got there, I thought there was too much water on the runway to land. Harvey wasn’t buying it. When I told him we needed to land at the alternate airport, about a 30-minute drive from the millionaire’s spread, Harvey told me that if I couldn’t set the plane down on the private strip, then just head on back to Rio Grande City. Okay, but if we die, it better be all of us. I lowered the landing gear, said a prayer, and set her down.
The best part about Har-vey, though, was that he always wanted to fly to Ruidoso, New Mexico for the All-American Futurity. The best part about that was that the race takes place at the end of August, Labor Day, when the Val-ley heat is at its worst. To get away from the RGV’s heat and humidity and fly to New Mexico, where the Ruidoso elevation is 6,920 feet, and the air clear and cool, well, that was pure heaven.
Quarter horses, those were Harvey’s specialty, and those were what he bred and raised at his Rio Grande City ranch. On charter flights, in his com-pany, Harvey always had a cowboy in tow. Real cow-boys. The rodeo variety. Not the faux dudes trying to look cool. These guys rode broncs, had the scars to prove it, and chewed tobacco.
Harvey also liked to fly to Del Rio and watch the Quarter Horse races. All the betting there was off-track and illegal, but who was going to bust a bunch of rich guys betting on whose horse was going to win the race? There were multiple races throughout the day. The airport at Ruidoso during the All-American Futurity race was a sight to behold. Like Aspen in the winter. Rich corporate jets parked side by side, one nearly on top of another. Lears, Gulfstreams and Citations. Why? Because the All-American Futurity race is the richest race on the Quarter Horse racing circuit. Has been for years. Back in 1980, the winning prize was $1 million. To-day, it’s more than double that.
The race trials start in mid-August. So Har-vey would sometimes go during the trials, and sometimes he’d go to the actual race. Made no dif-ference to me. I was just happy to escape the Valley summer heat.
The approach to Ruidoso airport, though, had some pucker factor to it; mean-ing in a vulgar sort of way that the stress would make the pilot stress up certain body parts during the base to final.
The wind, pardon the pun, was usually out of the southeast, so that’s the direction I landed; but just to the northwest was this high mountain (can’t remember the elevation, and too lazy to look it up). So I’d come in from the southeast, get clearance to land, do a 180 north-west of the airport, fly just above the mountain, and then drop the nose to get it down in time. When I flew over the mountain top, I could look down and see the tree tops. So there wasn’t a lot of room for error.
Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t have wanted to shoot the instrument ap-proach in winter at night. Although the landing would probably be to the northwest in winter. If that were the case, however, I wouldn’t have wanted to take off from Ruidoso at night in winter in in-strument conditions, so it would still be a big stress inducer.
No matter, in mid- to late-August, Ruidoso, New Mexico, was the place to be, where the daytime temps were in the high 70s. For a pilot flying in from the RGV, pure heav-en; and pure bliss.

by Tom Haughey
As I read the news today, I’m reminded of the Rus-sian joke about the match race between an American horse and a Soviet horse. As the story goes, the American horse won by ten lengths. The next day Pravda ran the story this way: “Russian horse came in second while the Amer-ican horse finished next to last.” They were truthful
(sort of) while they lied through their teeth. The liberal news media in today’s America are exactly like that.
Take, for example, the story last week about the mi-litia known as the United Constitutional Patriots. The group decided to help out the Border Patrol during the border crisis by conducting their own patrols in desert areas of New Mexico. During one of those patrols they rounded up two hundred illegal aliens who had snuck across the border between ports of entry. After making a citizen’s arrest, they held the group while they sum-moned the Border Patrol to take them into custody.
Yahoo News’ version of events was strikingly differ-ent. According to Yahoo and other liberal news sources, the United Constitutional Patriots walked around the group of poor (mostly) women and children brandish-ing semi-automatic firearms in an action which the Bor-der Patrol had not requested. The Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham condemned the action by say-ing: “It should go without saying that regular citizens have no authority to arrest or detain anyone.” For its part, the ACLU demanded that the militia members be arrested for kidnapping poor asylum seekers.
There was no balance in the reporting. Yahoo’s ac-count never dealt with the right of every American to make a citizen’s arrest. Nor did it point out the idiocy of referring to people who had snuck across the bor-der (rather than presenting themselves to authorities at a port of entry) as “asylum seekers”. Nor did it point out the legal error made by the New Mexico Governor when she erased one of the rights and responsibilities of American citizens. Nor did it challenge the ACLU’s characterization of a citizen’s arrest as kidnapping. Nor did it describe how many men were in the group of two hundred. Yahoo News told the truth (sort of) while ly-ing through its teeth.
We see a similar treatment of truth when it comes to mainline media and Democrat treatment of the Mueller report’s contents. The media jump on anything embar-rassing to Trump, but ignore political bias within the report itself (which was written entirely by Democrats and others opposed to Trump). Pundits point, for ex-ample, to a family member’s meeting in Trump Tow-

scouring the pages of old newspapers that date back 100 years. Stories about elected crooks can also be found in some local history books.
To get a feel for local histo-ry, you can’t do much better than picking up the non-fic-tion book, “Wild Horse Desert” by a former local writer named Brian Robert-son, which showcases how politics were here in the late teens and early 20’s.
Part of the book describes how local Democrat coun-ty leader John Closner re-signed as county treasurer on Feb. 5, 1918, perhaps pressured by a lawsuit filed by members known as the Good Government League. At the center of the lawsuit were allegations of misap-propriation of county funds. Additional suits were filed against other county offi-cials “alleging negligence of public duty, failure to count the cash each quarter, trans-ferring funds from different accounts and other irregular-ities.”
The county ordered an in-vestigative audit be done
by an out-of-town CPA who found “that the Treasurer’s records prior to April 9, 1908, are missing and none of the officers of Hidalgo County have been able to lo-cate the same.”
[Ed. note: Missing records? I’m shocked.]
According to Robertson’s book, in spite of the nu-merous questions raised by the audit, the cases against county officials that came to trial in March 1918 were immediately dismissed by District Judge Volney M. Taylor.
[Ed. note: More shock. A judge dismissing charges against his crony pals?]
In response, shouting out that Hidalgo County citi-zens deserved better, the Good Government League launched an attack against the Hidalgo County govern-ment through the newspa-pers friendly to its cause.
Time Magazine and Colliers picked up the stories coming out of South Texas, making our problems known to a national audience (see this week’s Observation’s col-umn about The New York Post).
One leader of the Good Government League was re-
ferred to in print as “the Red Headed Rooster of the Rio Grande.”
Robertson’s book, “Wild Horse Desert,” reports that a local newspaper, the Hi-dalgo County Independent, published a story on Oct. 11, 1929, about a pastor in Weslaco who was awakened at 3 a.m. by a pistol-packing man looking for Ed Couch -- candidate for county judge. Apparently he was upset with something the pastor was telling his congrega-tion. (Ed. note: “You shall reap what you sow?” Who knows.)
In 1929, some murders were said to be the work of po-litical assassination, and as Robertson’s book reports, “important county docu-ments were permanently misplaced, conflicting ver-sions of county commission-ers’ minutes appeared and allegations flew regarding misplaced public funds.”
In another book about Hi-dalgo County’s history, called “Nickel-Plated High-way to Hell: a History of Hidalgo County from 1852 to 1934,” written by Ruth Griffin Spence, we discover these amazing tidbits:
• There was the rumor in 1908 that the county com-missioners had a good rea-
son for moving the county seat from Hidalgo to Edin-burg. The three commission-ers had organized a town site on the 50,000 acres of land they had purchased where present-day Edinburg now stands. It was also rumored that the county commis-sion chose the middle of the night to hold the election that would decide where the county seat would be moved. [Ed. note: Politicians mak-ing a profit off of an inside land deal? Hard to believe.]
• Under the “Bossism” form of politics here in the early part of the century, a person who did a favor for Hidalgo County’s politi-cal “boss” would often be awarded a reduction in tax-es, or a road contract, or an appointive job in county, city or school district gov-ernments. (Ed. note: At least that no longer happens here?)
• In the early days of Hi-dalgo County, there was indeed a two-party sys-tem. The Democrats were considered the Blue Party while the Republicans were considered the Red Party. Colors were used so that the illiterate could simply make a scratch on a piece of paper next to the name of their fa-vorite candidate. The night before an election, both par-ties organized torchlight pa-rades, according to Spence’s book. The lead wagon of the
parade was filled with kegs of beer and a band held up the rear. The parties lasted all through the night until the voting booths opened the next morning, at which time the voters were led to their respective voting booths. [Ed. note: Your ear-ly version of the politiquera? Where were the feds?]
• By the mid-1920s, Hi-dalgo Co. residents were wondering why no one outside the “Baker Ring” (named for Sheriff A. Y. Baker) could be elected to public office. What really got voters mad was what came to be known as the “Nickel Plated Highway to Hell.”
It stretched less than eight miles from McAllen to Hidalgo over perfectly flat land; but it was built at a cost to taxpayers of $1 mil-lion, or more than $100,000 per mile (in the 1920s when money was real money).
It just so happened that the road ended at a .60 toll bridge, which was mainly owned by A. Y. Baker. Next door was the saloon and dance hall owned by another one of the county officials. (Ed. note: This is called en-trepreneurship.)
• According to Spen-ce’s book, county residents were also upset over the way county officials held

CORRUPTION...

“In a time of universal de-ceit, telling the truth is a rev-olutionary act.” — George Orwell
When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.
In the current governmen-tal climate, where laws that run counter to the dictates of the Constitution are made in secret, passed without de-bate, and upheld by secret courts that operate behind closed doors, obeying one’s conscience and speaking truth to the power of the po-lice state can render you an “enemy of the state.”
That list of so-called “en-emies of the state” is grow-ing.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is merely the latest victim of the police state’s assault on dissidents and whistleblowers.
On April 11, 2019, police arrested Assange for daring to access and disclose mili-tary documents that portray the U.S. government and its endless wars abroad as reck-less, irresponsible, immoral and responsible for thou-sands of civilian deaths.
Included among the leaked materials was gunsight vid-eo footage from two U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopters engaged in a series of air-to-ground attacks while Ameri-can air crew laughed at some of the casualties. Among the casualties were two Reuters correspondents who were gunned down after their cameras were mistaken for weapons and a driver who
stopped to help one of the journalists. The driver’s two children, who happened to be in the van at the time it was fired upon by U.S. forc-es, suffered serious injuries.
There is nothing defen-sible about crimes such as these perpetrated by the government.
When any government be-comes almost indistinguish-able from the evil it claims to be fighting—whether that evil takes the form of war, terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, murder, violence, theft, por-nography, scientific experi-mentations or some other di-abolical means of inflicting pain, suffering and servitude on humanity—that govern-ment has lost its claim to le-gitimacy.
These are hard words, but hard times require straight-talking.
It is easy to remain silent in the face of evil.
What is harder—what we lack today and so desper-ately need—are those with moral courage who will risk their freedoms and lives in order to speak out against evil in its many forms.
Throughout history, in-dividuals or groups of in-dividuals have risen up to challenge the injustices of their age. Nazi Germany had its Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The gulags of the Soviet Union were challenged by Alek-sandr Solzhenitsyn. America had its color-coded system of racial segregation and warmongering called out for what it was, blatant discrim-ination and profiteering, by Martin Luther King Jr.
And then there was Jesus Christ, an itinerant preacher and revolutionary activist, who not only died challeng-ing the police state of his day—namely, the Roman Empire—but provided a blueprint for civil disobedi-ence that would be followed by those, religious and oth-
erwise, who came after him.Indeed, it is fitting that
we remember that Jesus Christ—the religious figure worshipped by Christians for his death on the cross and subsequent resurrec-tion—paid the ultimate price for speaking out against the police state of his day.
A radical nonconformist who challenged authority at every turn, Jesus was a far cry from the watered-down, corporatized, simplified, gentrified, sissified vision of a meek creature holding a lamb that most modern churches peddle. In fact, he spent his adult life speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo of his day, and pushing back against the abuses of the Roman Em-pire.
Much like the American Empire today, the Roman Empire of Jesus’ day had all of the characteristics of a police state: secrecy, surveil-lance, a widespread police presence, a citizenry treat-ed like suspects with little recourse against the police state, perpetual wars, a mili-tary empire, martial law, and political retribution against those who dared to chal-lenge the power of the state.
For all the accolades poured out upon Jesus, lit-tle is said about the harsh realities of the police state in which he lived and its similarities to modern-day America, and yet they are striking.
Secrecy, surveillance and rule by the elite.
As the chasm between the wealthy and poor grew wid-er in the Roman Empire, the ruling class and the wealthy class became synonymous, while the lower classes, in-creasingly deprived of their political freedoms, grew disinterested in the govern-ment and easily distracted by “bread and circuses.” Much like America today,
with its lack of government transparency, overt domes-tic surveillance, and rule by the rich, the inner workings of the Roman Empire were shrouded in secrecy, while its leaders were constantly on the watch for any po-tential threats to its power. The resulting state-wide surveillance was primarily carried out by the military, which acted as investiga-tors, enforcers, torturers, policemen, executioners and jailers. Today that role is fulfilled by the NSA, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the increasingly militarized police forces across the country.
Widespread police presence.
The Roman Empire used its military forces to main-tain the “peace,” thereby es-tablishing a police state that reached into all aspects of a citizen’s life. In this way, these military officers, used to address a broad range of routine problems and con-flicts, enforced the will of the state. Today SWAT teams, comprised of local police and federal agents, are employed to carry out routine search warrants for minor crimes such as mari-juana possession and credit card fraud.
Citizenry with littlerecourse against the police state.
As the Roman Empire ex-panded, personal freedom and independence nearly vanished, as did any real sense of local governance and national conscious-ness. Similarly, in America today, citizens largely feel powerless, voiceless and un-represented in the face of a power-hungry federal gov-ernment. As states and local-ities are brought under direct control by federal agencies and regulations, a sense of
learned helplessness grips the nation.
Perpetual wars and a military empire.
Much like America today with its practice of polic-ing the world, war and an over-arching militarist ethos provided the framework for the Roman Empire, which extended from the Italian peninsula to all over South-ern, Western, and Eastern Europe, extending into North Africa and Western Asia as well. In addition to significant foreign threats, wars were waged against inchoate, unstructured and socially inferior foes.
Martial law. Eventually, Rome estab-
lished a permanent military dictatorship that left the citizens at the mercy of an unreachable and oppressive totalitarian regime. In the ab-sence of resources to estab-lish civic police forces, the Romans relied increasingly on the military to intervene in all matters of conflict or upheaval in provinces, from small-scale scuffles to large-scale revolts. Not unlike po-lice forces today, with their martial law training drills on American soil, militarized weapons and “shoot first, ask questions later” mindset, the Roman soldier had “the exercise of lethal force at his fingertips” with the potential of wreaking havoc on nor-mal citizens’ lives.
A nation of suspects. Just as the American Em-
pire looks upon its citizens as suspects to be tracked, surveilled and controlled, the Roman Empire looked upon all potential insubordinates, from the common thief to a full-fledged insurrectionist, as threats to its power. The insurrectionist was seen as directly challenging the Em-

AUSTIN — After Easter weekend, conferees for the Texas House and Senate must work out differences in the two chambers’ versions of a fiscal 2020-2021 state budget to send to Gov. Greg Abbott.
Concurrence is required on how to spend an estimated $250 billion in revenue avail-able to fund the state’s fiscal years 2020-2021. Once an agreement has been reached,a the budget bill will be subject to an up or down vote in each chamber before it is forwarded to the governor’s office for fi-nal approval.
Speaker Dennis Bonnen on April 15 named five House members to a conference com-mittee tasked with negotiating an agreement. He chose House Appropriations Committee Chair John Zerwas, R-Rich-mond; and Reps. Greg Bonnen,
R-Friendswood; Sarah Davis, R-West University Place; Os-car Longoria, D-Mission; and Armando Walle, D-Houston.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the Senate, on April 17 named five confer-ees — all Republicans: Senate Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson of Flower Mound, and Sens. Larry Taylor of Friend-swood, Joan Huffman of Houston, Lois Kolkhorst of Brenham and Robert Nichols of Jacksonville.
Nelson, in a report posted by the Senate News Service, looked forward to the a, say-ing: “Both chambers priori-tized property tax relief and public education and I am confident we can finalize a budget that helps homeowners who are struggling with rising property taxes and make sure our schools have the resources
needed to give teachers a raise and prepare our students for success.”
While the House and Senate versions of the budget both set aside an additional $9 bil-lion for property tax relief, teacher pay and education, the House version appropriates $251 billion in all funds, in-cluding $116.5 billion in gen-eral revenue and $2.3 billion from the Economic Stabiliza-tion (“Rainy Day”) Fund. In contrast, the Senate version appropriates $247.7 billion in all funds, including $116.8 billion in general Revenue and no dollars from the Rainy Day Fund.
Property tax bill movesThe Senate’s property tax
reform bill, SB 2, passed the Senate on April 15, was re-ferred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for con-sideration.
The vote on final passage in the Senate was 18-12, with Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amaril-lo, joining Democrats in vot-ing against the measure. One Democrat, Sen. Eddie Lucio of Brownsville, was listed as “present not voting.”
SB 2 would change what is now known as the effective tax rate, that rate at which the entity would earn the exact same amount of revenue as in the previous year, would be renamed to the “no-new-rev-enue” tax rate. It would also change the term “rollback
rate” to “voter-approved rate.” Also, rollback elections would be triggered automatically when rate increases exceed the new limits and would be placed on the November bal-lot, the Texas Senate News Service reported.
Dubbed “The Property Tax Reform and Relief Act of 2019,” the bill’s main goals are to:
(1) Lower the rollback rate from 8 percent to 3.5 percent for most taxing jurisdictions and 2.5 percent for school dis-tricts;
(2) Require an automatic tax ratification election if the roll-back rate is exceeded, elimi-nating the petition requirement in current statute;
(3) Make information about the tax rates proposed by local taxing units more accessible to property owners and more timely; and
(4) Make it easier for prop-erty owners to express their opinions about proposed tax rates to local elected officials before tax rates are adopted.
Gov. Abbott, in lauding the movement of SB 2, said he is looking forward to working with Lt. Gov. Patrick, Senate Property Tax Committee Chair Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, Speaker Bonnen and House Ways and Means Chair Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, and the entire Legislature “to provide lasting property tax relief for all Texans.”
Disaster declaration issuedGov. Greg Abbott on April
17 issued a State Disaster Dec-laration for nine Texas coun-ties impacted by recent severe weather, including thunder-storms and tornadoes that caused widespread property damage and the loss of life.
In the declaration, Abbott authorized the use of all avail-able resources of state govern-ment and of political subdivi-sions to aid in response efforts.
“As a result of severe weath-er over the weekend, Texas is taking action to ensure those impacted have the resources they need to recover as quickly as possible,” said Abbott said.
Counties included in the di-saster declaration are: Cher-okee, Freestone, Houston, Leon, Madison, Nacogdoches, San Augustine, Shelby and Robertson.
Early voting to be conductedTexas Secretary of State Da-
vid Whitley, the state’s chief elections officer, on April 19 encouraged eligible voters to take advantage of the ear-ly voting period ahead of the May 4 election.
Early voting begins on Monday, April 22, and ends on Tuesday, April 30. Voters across the state will be casting ballots in local political sub-division elections, including those for mayor, city council, school board, municipal utility districts and other local enti-ties.

er with the Russian woman who claimed to have dirt on Hillary (but never ask why the report ignores that wom-an’s meeting both the day before and the day after with Hillary’s law firm through whom Hillary paid for the fraudulent dossier against Trump). Was the Russian woman acting as Hillary’s agent to try to frame the Trump campaign? We know, after all, that she colluded with the Russians to get that dossier.
The liberal press also points to several instanc-es where Trump’s actions could be construed (or not) as attempting to obstruct justice. They particularly fo-cus on the report’s refusal to find the President guilty of obstruction or to exonerate him. All the press emphasis is on the lack of exoneration, even though the report left that decision to the Attorney General and the Attorney General (after looking at the evidence) pronounced the exoneration.
Both the liberal press and the Democrat leadership seem decidedly disappointed that the President won’t be hauled before a firing squad tomorrow morning for trea-son. You’d think they would be delighted he hadn’t bro-ken the law, but (let’s face it) they’re far too self serving for that kind of attitude.
Referring to the investi-gation as a witch hunt is (in their minds) obvious ob-struction (even though the Mueller Report ended up concluding that Trump was right and there was NO col-lusion with the Russians.
I would challenge you to take a moment and put your-self in President Trump’s
shoes. You’ve just been elected president and face leaks from within the deep state. Hillary has framed you with a fake dossier. You’ve fired Comey for an assortment of valid reasons. Mueller came to you asking for a job as FBI chief. You turn him down. The next day Rosenstein puts him in charge of investigating you to see if you’d colluded with Russia. Every member of your family is attacked for two years.
You accept no salary, and all your wages as president are given to charity. Stin-gy socialist Democrats who give almost nothing to char-ity (even though many of them are multi millionaires) excoriate you for breaking the emoluments clause be-cause some foreign poli-ticians rent rooms in your Washington, D.C. hotel (which is being run by oth-ers in your family). Under-lings plot to have you de-clared insane and removed from office by the Cabinet. False news stories about you form an incessant drum beat throughout your presidency.
You have succeeded in re-ducing taxes and regulations and setting up opportunity zones in depressed (mostly minority) areas, but the good you’re doing isn’t getting reported. You push through prison reform (which also helps minorities) but you’re portrayed as a racist. You make reasonable statements (like there being good peo-ple on both sides in the Charlottsville controversy over Civil War statues) and your words are intentional-ly misconstrued to make it sound like you’re defend-ing white nationalism. You reduce unemployment for blacks, Hispanics, women, and men to the lowest level in decades, but you’re at-tacked for salary stagnation.
Full employment causes a marked increase in wages, but you’re accused of favor-ing the wealthy and corpora-tions. You speak to massive, cheering crowds but are ac-cused of lying. You refuse to attack leaders of other coun-tries while in negotiations with them (and are attacked for being weak or even com-plicit with them). You try to fulfill your promise to build a border wall and tighten America’s security (and are tagged as a liar and a racist).
All the while CNN, MSN-BC and others are attacking you daily as being a criminal or a traitor. Your wife can’t even wear high heels as she boards Air Force One with-out being criticized for it. Your daughter and her hus-band are also under attack. All the while you see mil-lions of dollars being spent by Mueller and his team both investigating you and driving some of your ac-quaintances into bankruptcy. You almost fire Mueller a couple of times (which you have the authority to do). But you don’t do it.
Finally the report comes out and exonerates you of collusion. It, however, notes that your attempts to defend yourself against allegations you know to be false could be construed as obstruction.
Ask yourself this. If you had been president and all these things had happened to you, would you have fought back against false allega-tions and fake news? Would you even have been able to endure two years of those constant attacks while you enjoyed a salary of zero?
Once upon a time there was a match race between an American horse and a Rus-sian. . . .

Ask people what they would like to be, and you will get many different answers. But hardly anyone will ever say, “I want to be a servant.”
Mark 10:43b-45 (Jesus speaking), “... whoever wants to be great among you (the disciples) must be your ser-vant, and whoever wants to be first
must be a slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
How sad that businesses understand the importance and value of service unlike too many Christians who take a pass on serving others. Yet, to be great, to be first, in the eyes of Jesus, Christians must “stretch the soul” through self-giving service to others. If our Lord came to this world to serve, should Christians do no less? If our Lord literally gave His life for you and me, can we not honor that sacred gift by giving of ourselves to Christ and to others?
Who is the greatest “servant” you know? It may be a parent or grandparent, a close friend, or any number of people who sees the needs of others and selflessly moves to meet those needs.
Matthew 25: 37-40, 44-46 (Jesus speaking), “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?’
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for Me.’
“Those on His left also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help You?
‘The king will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.
‘Then they (those on the king’s left) will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.’”
Jesus demands that as His followers we must help others in the small things of life. Giving a hungry man a meal or a thirsty man a drink, welcoming a strang-er, cheering the sick or visiting the prisoner are things which anyone can do. Jesus is not requiring great and costly service to others, only the giving of simple help to the people we meet every day.
Our service to others must never be measured by the importance of the person to be served. The attitude of those on the left in the parable by Jesus who failed to help was, “If we had known it was You, Lord, we would gladly have helped; but we thought it was only some stinking common man who was not worth helping.”
Godly service to others is when we assist those who can never repay our kindness. Godly service to others never requires publicity or praise or even thanks. We must be generous without calculation.
Next time: More about Godly service toward others, considered, in the conclusion to “Stretching the Soul.”

Add it all up, according to The Post, and the real rea-son the RGV is a com-mercial success these days is because we have all of these drug traffickers around spending money here to try and launder it.
The reporter knows that how? She spoke to two or three sources she just met who already know what she wants to hear, in my opinion. In my opinion, her editors sent her out with a certain task: write something juicy about south Texas. So, sent out on assignment, she’s not looking for sources who will speak objectively about this area. She is looking for sources who will support her narrative: The RGV is a hot bed of dirty money and dirty narcos.
The Post story also talks about how there are so many illegal immigrants and drug contraband crossing the bor-der these days. That part is true; and the politicians in
D.C. are scratching their nose, with no clue how to fix the problem.
The most inane part of The Post story comes at the bit-ter end to the boring read:
“In fact, there is so much money currently flowing into McAllen that a new Lexus dealership opened last week, and a salesperson at the Maserati showroom said they had just closed on one of their most expensive models.”
So the Mexican cartel nar-co hiding out on this side of the border is going to go and buy a high-dollar car that stands out in a crowd? Now, that’s smart thinking. How many gold necklaces was he wearing?
The story’s very last para-graph reads:
“The real-estate agent ob-served, ‘It’s sad to say, but there is a lot of money laun-dering going on here.’”
Really; and you know that how? Do you grill your real
estate clients?
“Glad you’re buying the million-dollar home. The drug business must be good, huh? Glad you moved to this side. Great schools. Did I mention that?”
Is that what the so-called re-altor tells his/her client?
This story is the sort we must all counter, given the chance. Thanks to the vio-lence in Mexico, not here, the Valley has unfortunate-ly gotten a bad rap, which some of us are trying to correct because we know it adversely affects the place where we make our living. Plus, some of us actually like this place and hate to see it unfairly maligned by bogus journalism.
For a newspaper tab out of New York to come down here and paint us as a hav-en for money laundering, courtesy of Mexican drug traffickers, is not only fal-lacious, but it’s bad journal-ism in its worst form.
Jan’s note: This isn’t real journalism. What a farce.

The arrest of Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange by the British government on a US extradition order is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the US Consti-tution. It is an attack on the free press. It is an attack on free speech. It is an at-tack on our right to know what our government is doing with our money in our name. Julian Assange is every bit as much a po-
litical prisoner as was Cardi-nal Mindszenty in Hungary or
Nelson Mandela in South Africa.They, and so many more, were imprisoned because
they told the truth about their governments.Repressive governments do not want their citizens to
know that they are up to so they insist on controlling the media. We are taught, at the same time, that we have a free press whose job it is to uncover the corruption in our system so that we can demand our political leaders make some changes or face unemployment. That, we are told, is what makes us different from the totalitarian.
The arrest of Assange is a canary in a coal mine to warn us that something is very wrong with our system.
What’s wrong? The US mainstream media always seems to do the bidding of the US government. That is why they rushed to confirm Washington’s claim that the Assange indictment was not in any way about journal-ism. It was only about hacking government computers!
As the New York Times said in an editorial, sounding like a mouthpiece of the US government, Julian Assange committed “an indisputable crime.” But was it? As ac-tual journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote last week, what Julian Assange did in 2010, for which he is facing ex-tradition to the US, is no different from what New York Times and other journalists do every day! He attempted to help Chelsea Manning shield his identity as he blew the whistle on US government crimes to a publisher. The information in question included a video showing US military personnel participating in and cheering the murder of Iraqi civilians. Why is it criminal for us to know this?
The difference is that what Assange and Manning did embarrassed the US government, which was lying to us that it was “liberating” Iraq and Afghanistan when it was actually doing the opposite. Mainstream journalists pub-lish “leaks” that help bolster the neocon or other vested narratives of the different factions of the US govern-ment. That’s why the US media wants to see Assange in prison, or worse: he upset their apple cart.
The lesson is clear: when you bolster the govern-ment’s narrative you are a “brave journalist.” When you expose corruption in government you are a criminal. Do we really want to live in a country where it is illegal to learn that our government is engaged in criminal acts? I thought we had an obligation as an engaged citizenry to hold our government accountable!
As long as Julian Assange is in prison, we are all in prison. When the government has the power to tell us what we we allowed to see, hear, and know, we no lon-ger live in a free society. Julian Assange will be extra-dited to the US and he will have dozens of charges piled on. They want him to disappear so that the next Assange will think twice before informing us of our government’s crimes. Are we going to let them steal our freedom?

Much like the Roman Em-pire, the American Empire has exhibited zero tolerance for dissidents such as Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning who exposed the police state’s seedy underbelly. Jesus branded himself a political revolutionary starting with his act of civil disobedience at the Jewish temple, the site of the administrative head-quarters of the Sanhedrin, the supreme Jewish council. When Jesus “with the help of his disciples, blocks the entrance to the courtyard” and forbids “anyone carry-ing goods for sale or trade from entering the Temple,” he committed a blatantly criminal and seditious act, an act “that undoubtedly precipitated his arrest and execution.” Because the commercial events were sponsored by the religious hierarchy, which in turn was operated by consent of the Roman government, Jesus’ attack on the money char-gers and traders can be seen as an attack on Rome itself, an unmistakable declaration of political and social inde-pendence from the Roman oppression.
Military-style arrests in the dead of night.
Jesus’ arrest account testi-fies to the fact that the Ro-mans perceived Him as a revolutionary. Eerily similar to today’s SWAT team raids, Jesus was arrested in the middle of the night, in secret, by a large, heavily armed fleet of soldiers. Rather than merely asking for Je-sus when they came to arrest him, his pursuers collaborat-ed beforehand with Judas. Acting as a government in-formant, Judas concocted a kiss as a secret identification marker, hinting that a lev-el of deception and trickery must be used to obtain this seemingly “dangerous revo-lutionist’s” cooperation.
Torture and capital punishment.
In Jesus’ day, religious preachers, self-proclaimed prophets and nonviolent protesters were not summar-ily arrested and executed. Indeed, the high priests and Roman governors normally allowed a protest, particu-larly a small-scale one, to run its course. However, government authorities were quick to dispose of leaders and movements that appeared to threaten the Roman Empire. The charges leveled against Jesus—that he was a threat to the stabil-ity of the nation, opposed paying Roman taxes and claimed to be the rightful King—were purely polit-ical, not religious. To the Romans, any one of these charges was enough to merit death by crucifixion, which was usually reserved for slaves, non-Romans, radi-cals, revolutionaries and the worst criminals.
Jesus was presented to Pontius Pilate “as a disturb-
er of the political peace,” a leader of a rebellion, a polit-ical threat, and most grave-ly—a claimant to kingship, a “king of the revolutionary type.” After Jesus is formal-ly condemned by Pilate, he is sentenced to death by cru-cifixion, “the Roman means of executing criminals con-victed of high treason.” The purpose of crucifixion was not so much to kill the crim-inal, as it was an immensely public statement intended to visually warn all those who would challenge the power of the Roman Em-pire. Hence, it was reserved solely for the most extreme political crimes: treason, re-bellion, sedition, and ban-ditry. After being ruthlessly whipped and mocked, Jesus was nailed to a cross.
As Professor Mark Lewis Taylor observed:
The cross within Roman politics and culture was a marker of shame, of being a criminal. If you were put to the cross, you were marked as shameful, as criminal, but especially as subversive. And there were thousands of people put to the cross. The cross was actually po-sitioned at many crossroads, and, as New Testament scholar Paula Fredricksen has reminded us, it served as kind of a public service an-nouncement that said, “Act like this person did, and this is how you will end up.”
Jesus—the revolutionary, he political dissident, and the nonviolent activist—lived and died in a police state.
Any reflection on Jesus’ life and death within a po-lice state must take into ac-count several factors: Jesus spoke out strongly against such things as empires, controlling people, state vi-olence and power politics. Jesus challenged the politi-cal and religious belief sys-tems of his day. And world-ly powers feared Jesus, not because he challenged them for control of thrones or government but because he undercut their claims of supremacy, and he dared to speak truth to power in a time when doing so could—and often did—cost a person his life.
Unfortunately, the radical Jesus, the political dissident who took aim at injustice and oppression, has been largely forgotten today, replaced by a congenial, smiling Jesus trotted out for religious holi-days but otherwise rendered mute when it comes to mat-ters of war, power and poli-tics.
Yet for those who truly study the life and teachings of Jesus, the resounding theme is one of outright re-sistance to war, materialism and empire.
What a marked contrast to the advice being giv-en to Americans by church leaders to “submit to your leaders and those in author-ity,” which in the Ameri-can police state translates to complying, conforming, submitting, obeying orders, deferring to authority and generally doing whatever a government official tells you to do.
Telling Americans to march in lockstep and blind-ly obey the government—or put their faith in politics and vote for a political savior—flies in the face of every-thing for which Jesus lived and died.
Ultimately, this is the con-tradiction that must be re-solved if the radical Jesus—the one who stood up to the Roman Empire and was cru-cified as a warning to others
not to challenge the powers-that-be—is to be an example for our modern age.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we must decide whether we will follow the path of least resistance—willing to turn a blind eye to what Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as the “evils of segregation and the crippling effects of discrimination, to the mor-al degeneracy of religious bigotry and the corroding ef-fects of narrow sectarianism, to economic conditions that deprive men of work and food, and to the insanities of militarism and the self-de-feating effects of physical violence”—or whether we will be transformed non-conformists “dedicated to justice, peace, and brother-hood.”
As King explained in a powerful sermon delivered in 1954, “This command not to conform comes … [from] Jesus Christ, the world’s most dedicated nonconform-ist, whose ethical noncon-formity still challenges the conscience of mankind.”
We need to recapture the gospel glow of the early Christians, who were non-conformists in the truest sense of the word and re-fused to shape their witness according to the mundane patterns of the world. Will-ingly they sacrificed fame, fortune, and life itself in be-half of a cause they knew to be right. Quantitatively small, they were qualitative-ly giants. Their powerful gospel put an end to such barbaric evils as infanticide and bloody gladiatorial con-tests. Finally, they captured the Roman Empire for Jesus Christ… The hope of a se-cure and livable world lies with disciplined noncon-formists, who are dedicated to justice, peace, and broth-erhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific, and religious freedom have always been nonconform-ists. In any cause that con-cerns the progress of man-kind, put your faith in the nonconformist!
…Honesty impels me to admit that transformed non-conformity, which is always costly and never altogeth-er comfortable, may mean walking through the valley of the shadow of suffering, losing a job, or having a six-year-old daughter ask, “Dad-dy, why do you have to go to jail so much?” But we are gravely mistaken to think that Christianity protects us from the pain and agony of mortal existence. Christian-ity has always insisted that the cross we bear precedes the crown we wear. To be a Christian, one must take up his cross, with all of its dif-ficulties and agonizing and tragedy-packed content, and carry it until that very cross leaves its marks upon us and redeems us to that more ex-cellent way that comes only through suffering.
In these days of world-wide confusion, there is a dire need for men and wom-en who will courageous-ly do battle for truth. We must make a choice. Will we continue to march to the drumbeat of conformity and respectability, or will we, listening to the beat of a more distant drum, move to its echoing sounds? Will we march only to the music of time, or will we, risking criticism and abuse, march to the soul saving music of eternity?

views, or arguments on a proposed rule. The opportu-nity for public comment is required by state law.
Mayor Richard Molina asked City Attorney Omar Ochoa whether Gilbert En-ríquez was allowed to use the public comment sec-tion to address him, Mayor Pro Tem David Torres, and Councilmember Jorge Sa-linas. The fourth city coun-cilmember, Homer Jasso, Jr., was not at either meeting, as he was excused on important business.
Molina, Torres, and Sa-linas, along with Edinburg school board trustee Miguel “Mike” Farias, and now So-nia Enríquez, serve on the Board of Directors for the Edinburg Economic Devel-opment Corporation.
Ochoa advised the may-or and city councilmembers that Gilbert Enríquez “is signed up to speak in the public comment section. As a general matter, that’s not exactly proper. The public comment section is for the public to address the gov-erning body. Members of the governing body who want to address each other is carried out through the Rules of Pro-cedure. Just of the general matter, that’s not really the intent of the public comment section.”
Councilmember Enríquez, who was still on the city council dais (the raised plat-form in the City Council Chamber at Edinburg City Hall), explained why he believed he was eligible to address the mayor and fel-low councilmembers during
the public comment section, which restricts members of a government board from re-sponding
“Well, let me clarify. This has nothing to with anything on the agenda. I can under-stand that I’m a citizen as well of the City of Edinburg. I can understand if it was something that was being discussed on the agenda, and that would probably con-stitute, you know, a differ-ent trigger, a different law,” Councilmember Enríquez said. “But if I’m not discuss-ing anything that’s on the agenda, I’m not speaking out of turn. I’m not of speaking out the agenda item.
“I had it researched. In my opinion, I’m allowed to do public comments. But if you feel that I’m not, well then I guess I would have to file a report on that, be-cause I don’t see how I’m not allowed to speak. I’m a resident of the City of Edin-burg.”
Councilmember Enríquez said his intention was not to put the city in a bad light.
“It’s nothing, I’m not go-ing to say anything nega-tive. All I’m going to do is say ‘thank you’ publicly to the people that I wanted to say yesterday, when I was removed from the EDC, but I wasn’t allowed to, so all I want to do is just thank the public, the people who have given me the opportunity, that’s all I wanted to do,” he promised. “It’s nothing neg-ative, but again, you don’t want me to speak, that’s fine. I won’t speak.”
Ochoa responded, “If I just may, just briefly, Mayor, it’s just simply a matter of it’s not the intent of the public comment section.”
“Well, if you’re telling me that I can’t do it, is that what you’re telling?” Coun-cilmember Enríquez pressed the issue.
“No, I’m not telling you that,” the city attorney re-plied. “I’m just reiterating that that’s not the intent of the public comment sec-tion.”
“Okay, so I can get up and speak,” the city councilmem-ber concluded, left his seat on the dais, and walked to the podium from which resi-dents address the mayor and city councilmembers.
His comments follow:“So, for the record, Gilbert
Enríquez.“I’m here since I was re-
moved from the EDC yester-day, and not allowed to say a few comments.
“I want to publicly say right now that I wanted to extend a thanks to Ms. Nel-da Ramírez, who while I was President of the EDC, she was very cooperative. She was very informative. She taught me a lot of the things that I needed to know about the EDC.
(Ramírez serves as Direc-tor of Finance and Contracts Administrator for the Edin-burg EDC.)
“Since we transitioned to Mr. Joey Treviño, I want to thank him as well for the leadership he provided to the EDC while I was there as President and as a mem-ber, so I want to give him a thanks.
(Treviño serves as Exec-utive Director for the Edin-burg EDC.)
“I also want to wish the new appointee, Ms. Sonia Enríquez – she’s not related to me, so I wanted to make sure everyone understands
that – she’s not related to me. I want to wish her good luck, and hopefully that she does the right thing, she’s an independent thinker, she asks questions, and most of all that she’s transparent. I know she’ll do well. I don’t know her, but from what I understand, she’s very active in our community, especially our crime stoppers.
“I also want to thank the council for allowing me the opportunity to serve for the 16 months that I was there, and I hope I served you with integrity and ethics. So again, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you.”

The People’s Choice for San Juan!
By Gregg Romero Wendorf
Swat. The mosquitoes are back in full force.
Can’t tell if the one I just killed was a male or a female, but hopefully the one I just laid to rest was a female. The males don’t bother me as much. No, I’m not a mosquito misogynist. It’s just that it’s only the females that bite and suck blood.
Men’s minds are typically focused on one thing, and one thing only…nature. We are accused of thinking about something else entirely most of the time, but it’s the natural beauty of the world on which most of men’s minds focus. Give a man the choice of admiring a beautiful sunset or a beauty queen in a bikini, and he’ll choose the sunset every time.
So, if it’s the female mosquito that bites, what are the males doing all day? Turns out, according to nature sources, they devote most of their time feeding on flower nectar.
To reproduce, the female mosquito requires protein for her eggs; and from where does that protein derive? It’s not from flower nectar. No, it’s from a blood meal, courtesy of you. Or me.
Swat. &#$#%*.
Since males don’t bear the responsibility of reproducing, aside from
impregnating the female, they’re free to go off in search of flower nectar or some other sweet-smelling concoction. A handy soft drink left on the porch deck, for example.
From there, he may head for the hibiscus, or the orange blossom, while their female mate remains on the porch deck, buzzing around, looking for a human host, making it miserable for the party just finishing up a barbeque dinner.
No worries for the female mosquito, though. There’s usually the guy who passes out in the hammock out in the backyard once the party is through, making it a merry night for the female mosquito, or two or three or 20, looking for fresh blood needed for her to reproduce.
Mosquitoes fly at speeds between 1 and 1.5 mph, which explains why they’re hard to kill.
The “skeeter’s” wings beat 300 to 600 times per second, according to the people who study this sort of thing.
Okay, here’s another weird
tidbit about the insect world’s version of the vampire: when the male and female meet to mate – “My name is Hank, what’s yours?” -- their wings beat in synchronized fashion, performing a lover’s duet of sort.
Here’s some good news if one is now flying around your house – they can live up to five or six months. As far as bugs go, this is a long lifespan.
Oh, boy.
Finally, the mosquito is considered by scientists to be the deadliest “animal” on the face of the planet, responsible for more deaths than any other creature known to man (not counting man’s propensity for war).
Last but not least, the female mosquito needs water to breed. Just a few inches will do, since that’s all she needs – while the male is out chasing down sweet-smelling flowers – in which to deposit her eggs.
So if you want to do your best to eliminate the pesky buzzing ‘skeeter’ around your home, you’ll be vigilant when it comes to ridding your yard of any standing water.
Now where did that last one go buzzing around my head?
Swat. Got him. Or should I say, got her. Who can tell?
Male Mosquitoes get a free pass
They dig flowers, not blood

SAN JUAN – The PSJA Early College High School Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) Bear Battalion was recog-nized by district officials for earning the Honor Unit with Distinction designa-tion after passing a rigorous inspection by the US Army Junior ROTC. With this Gold Star rating, the PSJA Bear JROTC is now the fourth high school program in PSJA ISD to be ranked among the best in the re-gion and state.
According to PSJA ECHS Senior Army Instructor Ma-jor Thomas Oaks, the PSJA Bear Battalion participat-ed in the JROTC Program for Accreditation (JPA) in-spection used to evaluate secondary institutions and instructors. The battalion composed of over 90 ca-
dets was evaluated in six areas including: Continu-ous Improvement Program Briefing; Service-Learning Project Briefing; Cadet In-Ranks Inspection; Color Guard; Cadet Portfolio Re-view and Interview; and Instructor Portfolio Review and Interview.
“I am extremely proud of the PSJA Early College High School JROTC ca-dets,” said Principal Dr. Alejandro Elias during a special ceremony held to honor the Battalion on Tuesday, April 16. 2019. “They all worked extreme-ly hard all year to ensure they were prepared for this demanding and challenging inspection.”
With the addition of the PSJA ECHS Bear Battal-ion, all four PSJA ISD high school JROTC programs now have the Gold Star rat-ing and are ranked among the best in the state for pass-
ing the JPA inspection with a score of 95% or above.
The PSJA ECHS Bear Battalion is led by Senior and Cadet Lieutenant Colo-nel & Battalion Commander Jessenia Cantu, who made it her mission to earn a score of 95% or above and earn
the prestigious Honor Unit with Distinction, a rating at-tained by only about 60% of Army JROTC Units in the 11 state 5th Brigade area.
“I have watched these un-derclassmen grow up with me throughout this whole experience. It has been
life-changing,” said Can-tu who will be graduating with an Associate Degree from South Texas College in May. “Earning this des-ignation took a lot of hard work and dedication. I am so proud of our cadets.”

sway over the local school system. One school, the Ta-basco School, was situat-ed in the midst of mesquite bush, miles away from any irrigated land. It had a total enrollment of 129 students, yet it cost county taxpay-ers $400,000 to build (now you’re talking). All school equipment, which still sat uncrated three years after the school opened, had all been purchased from “friendly” firms who contributed cam-paign dollars to the “right” campaign.
• To pass another school bond, county officials put the notice of election on a tree out in the bush and on the back door of the court-house, where no one could see it when the door stood open, which it did most of the time.
• In July 1928, Carl and Ruth Armstrong became publishers of a new newspa-per, titled the Hidalgo Coun-ty Independent. It was com-mitted to the political reform movement then underway across the county. On the front page of the Sept. 19, 1928 issue, Ruth Armstrong wrote the following editori-al:
“Hidalgo County has suf-fered the pangs of political perdition from those scions of public life who have in-sisted on getting easy mon-ey. If you and your neighbor shall properly insist upon it, there shall be no more easy money for anyone who sits comfortably ensconced at the courthouse with noth-ing to do but write out a few warrants when he wishes to build a new house, buy a new car, or take a trip to Eu-rope.”
[Ed. note: No doubt, Mrs. Armstrong was not popular with county officials at the time.]

Temporary immigration detention facilities to open
in El Paso, Rio Grande Valley
El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley are less than two weeks away from the scheduled opening of tem-porary detention centers that will each house up to 500 migrants who have crossed the border to seek asylum.
The facilities, commonly referred to as a “tent cities,” are the federal government’s response to the ongoing crush of migrants, mainly from Central America, who continue to cross into Texas after traveling through Mex-ico.
“U.S. Customs & Border Protection urgently needs to provide for additional shel-ter capacity to accommodate individuals in CBP’s custo-dy throughout the south-west border,” CBP said in a written statement. “The overwhelming number of individuals arriving daily to the U.S. has created an im-mediate need for additional processing space in El Paso, Texas and Donna, Texas.”
On Thursday, a U.S. Bor-der Patrol official who asked not to be named said the fa-cility would likely be at the
agency’s station in northeast El Paso near U.S. Highway 54. Bulldozers and tractors with flattening rollers could be seen Thursday at the site, which also included five small, military-style tents used to house migrants. The CBP office in El Paso would not confirm that the station would be the location of the new facility.
The federal government’s solicitation for vendors names Deployed Resources of Rome, New York, as the company the government is in negotiations with to supply kitchen equipment, showers, laundries, bath-rooms and office space. The solicitation says the govern-ment only plans to negoti-ate with one company “be-cause the facilities need to be established by April 30, 2019.” The company did not immediately respond to a re-quest for comment about the contract.
The two facilities will cost about $37.2 million through the end of the year, accord-ing to federal documents.
The opening of the new
facilities would come just more than three months af-ter the Trump administration shut down a similar facility in nearby Tornillo, about 20 miles east of the El Paso city limits. That facility was erected in June and housed hundreds of unaccompanied minors who crossed the bor-der to seek asylum.
Temporary facilities have been used for years to house undocumented immigrants when U.S. Border Patrol facilities are beyond their capacity to shelter migrants. The Obama administration opened a temporary facility at San Antonio’s Lackland Air Force base in 2014 in response to a surge of un-accompanied minors who had crossed the border. And in 2016, a facility opened at the Tornillo site in response to another surge of unac-companied minors and fam-ilies crossing the border, the El Paso Times reported.
