USDA stops tradeBy JeoRge ZaRaZua

Del Rio News-Herald

Violence along the U.S.-Mexico border has claimed another vic-tim: the $100 million livestock trade through the Del Rio port of entry.

The U.S. State Department earlier

this month stopped travel of USDA veterinarians to Ciudad Acuña, citing safety concerns because of growing violence in Mexico. Re-ports of violence, however, are much more common farther south along the Rio Grande and farther north in El Paso while Acuña is gen-erally considered safer than other

Mexican cities along the Texas-Mexico border.

The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s decision effectively closes the city’s cattle inspection and export facility, which was the only one at this port of entry. To transfer live-stock across the border, animals must be inspected by the USDA to

ensure they are disease-free.Without those inspections,

ranchers aren’t able to trade live-stock through Del Rio.

The void has prompted two Val Verde County commissioners to try

Nation celebrates St. Patrick’s Day in style

By Jason KeyseRAssociated Press

CHICAGO — Chicago dyed its river green, bagpipes sounded on New York’s 5th Avenue, and in Georgia, crowds waited for 30 min-utes to buy beer for breakfast be-fore watching Savannah’s 188-year-old St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Thousands gathered Saturday morning along the Chicago River,

some in shamrock-shaped sun-glasses and others dressed as lep-rechauns with fake orange beards. Applause erupted as a motorboat sped in circles and a man on board dumped a secret dye in the water, quickly turning it a psychedelic green. The much-loved annual ritu-al kicked off a day of partying.

This year, the guest of honor was

Occupy Wall Street celebrates 6 months

By SAMANTHA gROSSAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Chanting and cheering down Wall Street on Saturday to mark six months since the birth of the Occupy move-ment, some protesters applauded the Gold-man Sachs employee who days ago gave the firm a public drubbing, echoing the move-ment’s indictment of a financial system dem-onstrators say is fueled by reckless greed.

“I kind of like to think that the Occupy move-ment helped him to say, ‘Yeah, I really can’t do this anymore,’” retired librarian Connie Bartusis said of the op-ed piece by Goldman Sachs manager Greg Smith, who claimed the company regularly foisted failing products on clients as it sought to make more money.

Carrying a sign with the words “Regulate Regulate Regulate,” Bartusis said the loss of

governmental checks on the financial system helped create the climate of unfettered self-interest described by Smith in his piece, al-though Goldman’s leadership suggested he had not portrayed the bank’s culture accu-rately.

“Greed is a very powerful force,” Bartusis said. “That’s what got us in trouble.”

On Saturday, six months after the protest-ers first took over Zuccotti Park near the city’s financial district, the protesters gathered there again, drawing slogans in chalk on the pavement and waving flags as they marched through lower Manhattan.

With the city’s attention focused on the huge St. Patrick’s Day parade many blocks uptown, the Occupy rally at Zuccotti drew a couple of hundred people — a smaller crowd than the demonstrations seen in the city when the movement was at its peak.

3 fatally shot in southern W.Va., man arrested

OAK HILL, W.Va. — Fayette Coun-ty authorities say an 83-year-old man has been arrested in the fatal shoot-ings of three people in southern West Virginia.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to the shootings shortly after 5 a.m. Satur-day inside a home near Oak Hill.

Media outlets report the victims include two women found inside the home and a man who crawled to a neighbor’s home for help before he was declared dead at Plateau Medical Center in Oak Hill. Their identities haven’t been released.

Howard Junior Curry of Fayette-ville was arrested and taken to the Southern Regional Jail on murder charges. Jail records didn’t indicate whether he had an attorney.

Family: Man didn’t kill teen in self-defense

SANFORD, Fla. — Calls made to

police show that a black teenager was terrified as he tried to get away from the white neighborhood watch volunteer who shot him, and that the volunteer was not defending himself as he has claimed, the teen’s family told The Associated Press on Satur-day.

Sanford police released eight 911 calls late Friday. The neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmer-man, tells a dispatcher in the first call that he is following 17-year-old Tray-von Martin. He says Martin is run-ning, but the dispatcher tells him not to follow the teen.

“How can you claim self-defense and you are the aggressor?” Tracy Martin, Trayvon Martin’s father, told the AP on Saturday.

Zimmerman had called police to report a suspicious person walking through the gated community. He has said he shot the teen in self-defense.

The teen had gone to a conve-nience store to buy candy and was walking back to his family’s home in the neighborhood.

“This guy looks like he is up to no good. He is on drugs or something,”

Zimmerman told the dispatcher from his SUV. He added that the black teen had his hand in his waistband and was walking around looking at homes.

“These a-------. They always get away,” Zimmerman said on a 911 call.

Tribe: Bald eagle permit a victory for tradition

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A federal government decision to allow a Wyo-ming tribe to kill two bald eagles for a religious ceremony is a victory for American Indian sovereignty as well as for long-suppressed religious free-doms, the tribe says.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice granted a permit March 9 to the Northern Arapaho Tribe allowing it either to kill or capture and release two bald eagles this year.

While no one questions the reli-gious sincerity of Northern Arapa-ho tribal members, spokesmen for some conservation and animal rights groups question why the tribe can’t meet its religious needs without kill-ing wild eagles.

Pope of Egypt’s Coptic Christian

Church dies CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Pope

Shenouda III, the patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church who led Egypt’s Christian minority for 40 years during a time of increasing tensions with Muslims, died Saturday. He was 88.

His death comes as the country’s estimated 10 million Christians are feeling more vulnerable than ever amid the rise of Islamic movements to political power after the top-pling a year ago of President Hosni Mubarak. The months since have seen a string of attacks on the community, heightened anti-Christian rhetoric by ultraconserva-tives known as Salafis and fears that coming goverments will try to impose strict ver-sions of Islamic law.

Tens of thousands of Chris-tians packed into the main Coptic cathedral in Cairo on Saturday evening hoping to see his body. Women in black wept and screamed. Some, unable to get into the over-crowded building, massed outside, raising their hands in prayer.

An archbishop later an-nounced to the crowd that the funeral would be held in three days, and in the mean-time Shenouda’s body would be put on display in the ca-thedral, sitting in the Mar Morqos — or St. Mark — throne from which the pope in his elaborate regalia tradi-tionally oversaw services.

Shenouda died in his resi-dence at the cathedral, and the state news agency MENA said he had been battling liver and lung problems for several years. Yasser Ghobrial, a phy-sician who treated Shenouda at a Cairo hospital in 2007, said he suffered from prostate cancer that spread to his co-lon and lungs.

“Baba Shenouda,” as he was known to his followers, headed one of the most an-cient churches in the world. The Coptic Church traces its founding to St. Mark, who is said to have brought Christi-anity to Egypt in the 1st Cen-tury.

Creator of Red Bull dies

BANGKOK (AP) — Cha-leo Yoovidhya, the self-made Thai billionaire who intro-duced the world to “energy drinks” and co-founded the globally popular Red Bull brand, has died. He was in his 80s.

Chaleo died of natural causes in Bangkok on Satur-day, according to local media reports and state television broadcaster, MCOT, which cited the Thai Beverage In-dustry Association.

Forbes magazine, which ranked Chaleo the 205th rich-est man in the world this year with a net worth of $5 billion dollars, said he was 80 years old. Several Thai media out-lets cited his birth-date as Aug. 17, 1923, however, indi-cating he was 88. It was not immediately possible to ex-plain the discrepancy.

to find an alternative solu-tion to reestablish livestock trade here.

Precinct 2 Commissioner Lewis Owens said they are proposing to reopen a live-stock inspection and export facility in Del Rio by leasing holding pens from the Texas Department of Agriculture and allowing USDA veteri-narians to do the inspections there.

The county owns the land where the pens are located, but the structures are owned by the state.

The Val Verde County Commissioners Court has called a special meeting for 9 a.m. Monday to consider the proposal.

The Texas Department of Agriculture closed its facil-ity in Del Rio in August 2011, citing budget cutbacks, ac-cording to agency spokesman Bryan Black.

Black said TDA continues to operate its export pens in Eagle Pass and said discus-sions are being held with Val Verde County “to develop opportunities for the coun-ty and USDA to reopen the pens.”

“We hope these discussions will lead to positive results that will allow for livestock in Del Rio to flow between the Mexico and the U.S.,” Black said.

Del Rio Chamber of Com-merce President Pat Ellis said the livestock trade generates millions of dollars for the city. Without an inspection and ex-port facility, the city’s econo-

my would suffer, officials said.“We stand, as we sit right

now, to lose $100 million in economic impact to the city,” Ellis said.

As many as 50 livestock trailers were coming through the port every week, Owens said, and the city is losing money every day the trade is shut down.

“It’s affecting us already,” the commissioner said, cit-ing reports of brokers and livestock owners traveling to Eagle Pass instead of Del Rio.

Owens and Pct. 3 Commis-sioner Robert Beau Nettleton have been negotiating with both the USDA and TDA to reach a compromise on re-opening the local facility.

“I don’t know if we’re going to get this done on Monday or not, but we’re going to try,” Owens said.

Last week, New Mexico’s two U.S. senators formally asked the Obama Administra-tion to find a way for cattle to once again cross the border at Columbus, N.M. USDA stopped its veterinarians from crossing into Mexico at that port on March 6, also citing violence in Mexico.

Two years ago, the USDA stopped its inspection opera-tions in Nuevo Laredo and Reynosa because of violence there. Several weeks later, op-erations were restored on the U.S. side of the border in fa-cilities at Laredo and Hidalgo County.

was Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who took part in the parade of floats, tradi-tional Irish dancers and mu-sicians marching along an avenue near Chicago’s lake-front. Kenny began the day at City Hall with Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Both men sported green ties and shamrocks in their lapels.

The prime minister said he was honored to take part in Chicago’s festivities and praised the city with a large Irish population for being so receptive to immigrants.

“That’s a privilege that I shall remember for a long time,” Kenny said of his role in the festivities.

In Savannah, revelers set out folding chairs before dawn to catch the parade, a tradition that started in 1824 as a procession with religious roots by settlers who immi-grated to the Georgia coast.

Lines of thirsty patrons were spilling out of down-town bars before the pre-parade Mass wrapped up at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

“It’s ridiculous for still be-ing in the a.m.,” said Timmy Watkins, a utility worker who emerged from Pinkie Mas-ter’s Lounge with a beer in each hand after standing in line for 30 minutes. “These are both mine. I waited in

line long enough. I figured I’d get two.”

On Chicago’s riverfront, 6-year-old Elly Weber sat on her father’s shoulders wear-ing some bobbly, antennae-like shamrock headgear and marveled at how the river first turned yellow and then, almost immediately, an eye-popping green.

Her 3-year-old brother, Sean, was equally stupefied.

“It’s getting all green,” he cried out. “Will everything turn green? Why?”

A few kayakers couldn’t resist the chance to paddle through the unnatural-look-ing water. Crowds watching from a bridge roared their ap-proval when one of the pad-dlers purposely half-capsized his kayak, dunking himself in the green water.

In New York, a sea of green, kilts and bagpipes flowed along 5th Avenue as large crowds gathered for the city’s 251st annual Saint Pat-rick’s Day Parade.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, leader of the city’s Roman Catholics, announced before the parade stepped off that iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral would undergo a $175 million renovation. He said the first phase will involve cleaning the cathedral’s soot-damaged exterior and replacing its windows.

Even President Barack Obama paid tribute to his Irish heritage, as one of his great-great-great grandfa-thers on his Kansas mother’s side emigrated from Ireland in 1850. Last year, Obama visited his ancestral home of Moneygall and drank a Guin-ness at the local pub.

This year, the president stopped into the Dubliner Restaurant and Pub near Washington’s landmark Union Station for a pint, ac-companied by Moneygall bar owner Ollie Hayes and Hen-ry Healy, an eighth cousin to Obama and the closest rela-tive still living in Ireland.

Across the ocean in Dub-lin, an estimated half a mil-lion people turned out for the parade that serves as a focal point for worldwide celebra-tions. It brought some cheer to a nation that has been grappling with 14 percent un-employment, a massive debt burden and a resumption of emigration levels last seen in the 1980s.

In his St. Patrick’s Day message, Catholic Cardinal Sean Brady offered prayers to the estimated 50,000 citizens who have emigrated in the past year to escape Ireland’s weak economy.

“May the memory of St. Patrick, who was himself car-ried off from his homeland at

the age of 16, sustain all those who have left our shores for other lands,” Brady said, re-ferring to the saint’s legend-ary background as a slave im-ported from Britain.

DEL RIO NEWS-HERALD

Last week, Val Verde County Commission-ers put off acting on a request from the City

of Del Rio to share the cost of protecting our water supply at the state level.

That was disappointing. We had hoped to hear that

the county was on board with at least the idea of working to-gether on this vital matter, even if all the details haven’t been hammered out.

Instead, Commissioner Beau Nettleton almost immediately began attacking the city, ac-cusing its officials of acting on their own and griping because, it seems, the county wasn’t asked nicely enough to help.

“… once again, the city is running off without us and do-ing things to discuss water is-sues without involving us,” the commissioner said. And later, “we’re once again having a dis-cussion, and nobody from the city is here to have this discus-sion with us.”

Agendas are posted well in advance. Surely the com-missioners saw that the city’s request was going to be dis-cussed. If they wanted to hear from the city personally, why didn’t they simply ask?

As for acting on its own, the city hired an attorney and an expert to represent us — the people of Del Rio, the seat of Val Verde County — at an im-portant hearing in January that affects the state’s upcomimg decision on just how much water we get to keep from

the Springs over the next 50 years. We’re glad the city had the foresight to be involved in that proceeding; we didn’t hear word one from the county about it.

We know water is a tremen-dously complex issue. There’s the right of landowners to sell water on their property, the right of a population to have a dependable source of water, the right of a city to prosper.

But you have to pay to play in this modern world. And it’s understandable that the city is asking the county to help.

At last week’s meeting, Com-missioner Nettleton said that the county needs “a lot more information” before deciding whether to spend taxpayers’ money. That is commendable. Certainly we want our officials to think before spending.

But the reactions smacked of politics and one-upmanship rather than good stewardship.

Yes, the city could have asked for support back in Janu-ary instead of waiting until now. Advised of the commis-sioners’ concerns, City Man-ager Robert Eads promptly said he would be at the court’s Marchn 29 meeting to answer questions.

That’s good. We’re hopeful that the commissioners will be welcoming instead of defen-sive.

The city and county work well together on many issues. We certainly hope they can do so on what is surely one of the most — if not the most — im-portant issues facing us and fu-ture generations.

In his letter to the editor last week, concerned reader Bill Sontag wrote in to take me to task for

complaining about plastic grocery bags, rather than em-bracing reusable canvas bags.

In the space of four short but pithy paragraphs, I was described as lazy, lacking in common sense, a slave to tradition, a whiner and an enemy of the environment. All true, I’m afraid, and I re-ally appreciate the construc-tive criticism. All the charges represent serious character flaws that I will try to modify, if not eliminate altogether.

All except laziness. In his letter, Mr. Sontag makes lazi-ness sound like a bad thing, but I’ll bet on reflection, he would agree with me that laziness is the biggest single agent for the improvement of mankind.

Ancient creativity

It is laziness — the ac-tive avoidance of hard labor — that we have to thank for nearly every innovation man has enjoyed since he first stood upright, looked out on the limitless plains of Africa, and said to himself, “I need a nap.”

Why, for instance, should a hungry Homo Erectus chase a wooly mammoth around the steppes of Rus-

sia for years waiting for it to die of old age, when the timely application of a stone-tipped spear could have the beast roasting on a spit by nightfall?

Garden delight

Why gallivant all over cre-ation hunting and gathering like a madman, when you could scratch a few rows in the dirt in your back yard, drop in some seeds, and then just sit back and wait for the wheat to roll in?

We can only thank provi-dence that James Watt was too lazy to scoop water out of the bottom of a coal mine, and instead came up with a little item called the steam engine to do that job for him.

And consider this little vi-gnette.

Here’s Alexander Graham Bell in one room, and there’s his helper, Tom Watson, in another room. Alex wants to talk to Tom, probably to ask him to do something he could just as easily do him-self if he wasn’t so slothful.

Does Alex heave his lazy butt out of his seat, stand up, trudge the few feet to the

other room and talk to Tom face to face? He does not. That would require way too much work.

No, Alex just sits there, in-vents an electronic contrap-tion, and then rings up Tom with it and says, “Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you.” Man, talk about lazi-ness.

But without that laziness — without that monumental indolence — the world now would be without the means to reach out at any time, day or night, and annoy our fel-low man with a telephone call.

And just think, if only A.G. Bell had been able to extend his lazy streak by hanging around a hundred years or so, he could have shortened it even further to a text mes-sage “tw wassup? cummeer i wnt 2 c u.”

So, yes, I am lazy and fiercely proud of it, too. After all, what’s the point of being a writer if you can’t avoid ac-tual work?

MOST SATISFYING NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK: When Consumer Reports magazine went to test drive the super-sleek, $107,000 all-electric sedan from Fisker Motors, the car stopped dead and had to be hauled back to the dealer.

In its blog, Consumer Re-ports said “We buy about 80

cars a year and this is the first time in memory that we have had a car that is undriveable before it has finished our check-in process.”

Fisker builds its electric cars with a $529 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy. DOE halted loan cash to Fisker last May be-cause the company failed to meet production and sales commitments it made to ob-tain the loan. The company has been unsuccessful in re-negotiating the loan terms.

Oh — the name of the car that Fisker builds? The Kar-ma.

LITTLE-KNOWN CEL-EBRATIONS FOR THE COMING WEEK The day and the special events are: 18 – Goddess of Fertility Day, 19 – Poultry Day (raising or fry-ing, it’s all good), 20 – Extra-terrestrial Abductions Day, Proposal Day, 21 – Fragrance Day, 22 – National Goof Off Day (aren’t they all?), 23 - Near Miss Day (vastly supe-rior to the alternative), and 24 - National Chocolate Cov-ered Raisin Day.

County needs to work with city on water

Laziness can be mother of inventionBill Bouldin

To the editor:The pain felt at the gas

pump is hurting struggling American families and busi-nesses and they need help. It is obvious that the current administration has no desire to bring relief to the skyrock-eting gas prices, and thinks it more important to stand by their policy of restricting domestic energy production.

The American people have already been pushed to the limits by our stagnant economy and living standards are going down. Our Presi-dent must change his policy toward developing domestic sources of energy, and give up his obsession with scoring political victories.

His rejection of the Key-stone Pipeline and his policy to tie the hands of domestic energy companies is being felt around the county.

Not only do we feel the pain at the pump, but we will also start seeing prices rises of every product. Nearly every manufacturer, pro-ducer and economy depends on gas and oil to run their

operations. For example, when farmers have to spend more money operating their tractors, consumers will feel it in the price of food and produce.

We can no longer afford to depend on violent and un-stable Middle East countries that often threaten American interests. America is fortu-nate enough to sit on a boun-tiful and abundant supply of natural resources, and it is time that we safely develop these sources. It would not only reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but it would produce jobs and increase the energy security for our busi-nesses and families.

Thankfully for Del Rio, our local Congressman “Quico” Canseco understands the pain that rising gas prices have on all of us. He has heard our cries and has voiced them in Congress. I can only hope that our Presi-dent listens to our demands, and abandons his destructive energy polices.

Signed,Bill White

Obama should release restrictions on domestic energy production

Queens win againBy BRIAN ARGABRIGHT

Del Rio News-Herald

It’s full speed ahead for the Del Rio Queens soccer team.

Del Rio has already clinched a playoff spot and the No. 2 seed in District 29-5A. Now they’ve got their eyes set on finishing the season strong and moving into the playoffs on a hot streak.

The Queens added to their win to-tal Thursday with a 4-1 win over the Laredo Martin Lady Tigers.

Del Rio is now 17-2 overall and 14-2 in district play.

Four minutes into the contest Nelly Ortiz was taken down and the Queens were awarded a direct kick. Clarissa Leon set up and ripped a blistering shot that flew through the goalie’s hands and through her legs into the goal for a 1-0 lead.

Three minutes later Leon passed the ball ahead to Yoli Gonzalez who dribbled through the defense and shot from the right side of the field and into the goal for a 2-0 Del Rio lead.

The Queens weren’t done scoring

in the first half.Midway through the first half Mo-

nique de la Paz let loose a shot on goal that was blocked. The ball rico-

cheted to Leon who controlled the rebound, reloaded and fired a shot past the Martin defense and into the net for a 3-0 lead.

In the second half the Queens got an assist from Mother Nature.

Marisa Cortinas passed the ball to Gonzalez who dribbled up the right side of the field and then tried to loft the ball to center it. The wind, how-ever, had other ideas and carried the ball past her teammates and the Mar-tin defense and into the goal for a 4-0 lead.

Martin’s lone goal came with just over a minute remaining in the match as the Lady Tigers intercepted a pass and beat Del Rio goalie Ashley Padilla.

Padilla and Gabi Robinson have been splitting goalie duties as of late to allow Robinson to learn the posi-tion in case of an injury to Padilla during the playoffs.

Robinson played the first half against Martin.

The Queens return to action Tues-day as they travel to Laredo to face the Laredo Nixon Lady Mustangs. Ju-nior varsity plays at 6 p.m. followed by the varsity team at 7:30.

Del Rio’s final home match will be Friday, March 23, when the Queens host the Laredo Cigarroa Lady Toros.

Bobby Paul, representing his wife Bonnie as the produc-tion team of the 35th annu-al George Paul Memorial

Bull Riding, met with Champion-ship Bull Riding (CBR) President Tuff Hedeman and CBR’s CEO, Wes Bruce to finalize dates for the an-nual event.

The oldest, continuous stand alone bull riding in the world is named in honor of the late George Paul, the 1968 Rodeo Cowboy’s Association World Champion Bull Rider and the only man to ride 79 consecutive bulls in competition. George Paul was killed in a plane crash in 1970 in

Wyoming.After extensive meetings with

CBR officials, Paul said, “We once again have chosen CBR as our bull riding sanctioning organization be-cause of their professionalism. They have the best bull riders and bulls in the professional sport of stand alone bull riding and will televise our event nationally on Fox Sports Network. Everyone knows that Tuff Hedeman is a four-time World Champion Bull Rider and three-time winner of The George Paul. He is certainly a crowd favorite and brings a staff of knowl-edgeable professionals to our event.” Paul continued, “We have several surprises that we will introduce to Del Rio as part of our event that will make it even more enjoyable and ex-

citing for our fans.”“The addition of Fox Sports Net-

work will bring a multitude of view-ers to the Del Rio, and the Val Verde community,” Paul said. He contin-ued, “The entire slate of CBR events will be televised at 6:00 pm in all time zones Sunday evening follow-ing major league baseball. During the major league games CBR bull riding will be promoted on air. Fox will de-lay telecast both performances of the 35th George Paul Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The dates for this year’s bull riding has been moved up to the weekend of April 28-29. After discussions with CBR this would al-low an extra event to be televised the weekend of May 5.”

Paul advised, “We will give weekly

updates about the event and this year will be more fun than ever. We are working with the Chamber of Com-merce and the Convention and Busi-ness Bureau (CVB) and planning a week of festivities leading up to the bull riding. There will more things to do for the Del Rio community in the week leading up to the bull riding. We want everyone in Del Rio to get involved.”

The 35th George Paul Memorial Bull Riding office is located at the Val Verde County Fairgrounds. The of-fice number is 775-9595 and is open Monday to Friday. The 35th George Paul Memorial Bull Riding is spon-sored by Ram Country Dodge, Ra-mada, Budweiser, Tractor Supply and Del Rio Feed and Supply.

COLLEGE STATION, Tex-as (AP) — Tyra White scored 18 points in her return from injury and defending national champion Texas A&M used a big second half run to pull away from Albany and win 69-47 in the first round of the NCAA tournament Saturday.

White had missed the last three games with a left foot injury. She got going early, scoring 12 points in the first half, and added four points and a steal in a decisive sec-ond-half run.

The Great Danes (23-10) had scored six straight points to tie it early in the second half before A&M used a 17-4 run to take a 49-36 lead with about 13 minutes remaining.

No miracle run for VCU this year

AssociAted Press

PITTSBURGH — Scoop Jardine had 16 points and eight assists to lead top-seed-ed Syracuse to a 75-59 victory over eighth-seeded Kansas State on Saturday in the third round of the East Regional.

James Southerland added 15 points for the Orange (33-2), who didn’t wait until the final minutes to seal the win as they did in the second round against 16th-seeded North Carolina-Asheville.

Syracuse plays Wisconsin in Boston on Thursday night in the regional semifinals.

Rodney McGruder had 15 points for the Wildcats (22-11), who struggled from the field against Syracuse’s 2-3 zone defense.

Neither team had its lead-ing rebounder. Syracuse’s 7-foot Fab Melo, the Big East Defensive Player of the Year, was declared ineligible by the school for the rest of the tournament earlier in the week. About 20 minutes be-fore the start of this game, Kansas State announced that Jamar Samuels would be held out over an eligibility issue.

No. 4 INDIANA 63, No. 12 VCU 61

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Will Sheehey made a 15-foot-er from the baseline with 12.7 seconds left after a shot was blocked right to him.

Rob Brandenberg got a great look at a potential win-ning 3-pointer but it rimmed off at the buzzer, ending the Rams’ bid for another sur-prising March run.

Indiana advanced to the round of 16 for the first time in a decade and just four years after Tom Crean inher-ited a decimated program.

The Hoosiers did it by rally-ing from down 59-53 with 6 minutes remaining, includ-ing Victor Oladipo’s driving three-point play with 46.5 seconds left that tied it at 61.

Christian Watford led In-diana (27-8) with 16 points and Cody Zeller added 14. Sheehey finished with eight points; his game-winner was his only basket of the second half.

Bradford Burgess scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half for VCU (29-7).

No. 4 WISCONSIN 60, No. 5 VANDERBILT 57

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Ryan Evans scored 11 points and grabbed a crucial rebound in the closing sec-onds.

John Jenkins took a 3-point-er that would have given the Commodores the lead, but it bounced high off the rim and Evans pulled down the re-bound and was fouled with 2.1 seconds left.

He made the first free

throw to make it a three-point game. After a Vander-bilt timeout, he missed the second and the Commodores called time with 1.3 seconds remaining.

Jared Berggren contested the inbounds pass and got his right hand on Lance Goul-bourne’s overhand heave and started celebrating Wiscon-sin’s fifth trip to the round of 16 under coach Bo Ryan as the horn sounded.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jar-ed Sullinger scored 18 points, including two big baskets in the final 3 minutes to lead Ohio State past Gonzaga and into the round of 16 for the third straight year.

DeShaun Thomas also scored 18 for the Buckeyes (29-7), while Aaron Craft added 17 points and 10 assists. Ohio State will play Florida State or Cincinnati in the East Regional semifinals Thurs-day in Boston.

Bolton says Muamba critically ill after collapsing

By roB HArrisAssociated Press

LONDON — Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba was critically ill in a hospital’s heart attack unit Saturday night after col-lapsing during a match at Tottenham.

Muamba fell face-down to the field near the halfway line without any players near him. Medics rushed onto the field with a defibrillator and treated the 23-year-old, pumping his chest for around six minutes of treatment before he was rushed to a hos-pital.

“Fabrice Muamba has been admitted to the heart attack center at London Chest Hospital where he is currently in a criti-cally ill condition in intensive care,” Bolton said in a statement about three hours later. “No further information will be issued at this stage. The club has requested the me-dia to respect his family’s privacy at this time.”

When Muamba collapsed in the 41st minute of the FA Cup quarterfinal, Bolton manager Owen Coyle shouted from the sideline: “He’s just collapsed.”

Tottenham players William Gallas and Louis Saha along with referee Howard Webb immediately beckoned for medi-cal support as the game was immediately stopped, then abandoned.

Some players appeared to be praying as fans chanted his name between periods of silence at White Hart Lane.

After Muamba was carried off on a stretcher to applause from the crowd with an oxygen mask and with his chest still being pumped, all the players also left the field before Webb abandoned the match.

Coyle and forward Kevin Davies were among the Bolton group that accompanied Muamba to the hospital, while the rest of the team returned to northwest England by train.

“Terrible what happened with Muamba during the game,” Rafael van der Vaart, who started for Tottenham, wrote on Twit-ter. “We’re all praying for him.”

Muamba’s Bolton teammate Stuart Hold-en, who was watching the game on televi-sion, tweeted: “Praying for you Fab.”

“Waiting anxiously for updates from teammates,” he added. “Fab is a fighter!”

Penguins win 11th straight gameAssociAted Press

NEWARK, N.J — Sidney Crosby felt more comfort-able in the second game of his comeback as the Pitts-burgh Penguins sent the New Jersey Devils reeling.

Matt Cooke scored two goals, Evgeni Malkin added his 40th of the season and Crosby had three assists to lead the Penguins to their 11th straight win, 5-2 over the Devils on Saturday.

With the surge, the Pen-guins have 93 points — two behind the Eastern Con-ference-leading New York Rangers. Their winning streak is the longest in the NHL this season

Crosby came through with a strong effort in the second game of his comeback from recurring concussion-like symptoms.

“Having played one game, so much of it is reacting,” Crosby said. “When you first come back, you are probably thinking a lot more than you should. The more you react and let the game come to you, the better.”

Crosby has five assists since returning, and had a couple of good chances against the Devils to score the first goal of the comeback with six shots on goal.

Chris Kunitz, James Neal and Pascal Dupuis also scored for Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury made 12 saves for his 10th straight victory and 39th of the season.

It has been a smooth tran-sition with Crosby stepping back into the lineup.

“We’re a team and you’re happy to see your team mates do well,” Crosby said. “We’ve played good hockey. When I wasn’t in for the pre-vious nine games I was just as happy to see guys do well. There is a good feeling when you are rewarded for your

efforts and guys have stuck to that.”

A good team becomes a very dangerous squad with Crosby back.

“It’s a powerful feeling,” said Cooke who has four goals in the last two games. “It’s invigorating to see the depth of our team and our organization. Some guys who played well for us all year now have to sit out. That’s unfortunate, but that’s the strength of our group.”

The Penguins ended a three-game losing streak to the Devils, winning for the first time in their last five vis-its to New Jersey.

“I feel they got fortunate a couple of games in here,” Cooke said. “We’d have pres-sure on them early and not get a goal. They’d get a turn-over and go down and score. It wasn’t that different today. We were all over them, and then they got a goal.”

This time Pittsburgh never let up.

Andy Greene and Petr Sykora scored for the Devils, winners of five of six coming in. The Devils wore their ret-ro jerseys, going back to their original New Jersey colors of

red, white and green.The throwback shirts

didn’t help as the Penguins attacked early and often, jumping out to a 14-2 shot ad-vantage.

“We played a real fast game today,” Crosby said. “Every-one was creating chances. Everyone was on their toes, making plays.”

The pressure paid off early.Kunitz was awarded a pen-

alty shot at 1:55 after being pulled down on a breakaway by Marek Zidlicky. Martin Brodeur, going into a low crouch, made a pad stop while losing his stick.

Brodeur was helpless five seconds later as Neal scored after Malkin won a faceoff from Adam Henrique. The puck went right to Neal at the top of the left circle where he drilled a shot for his 32nd goal.

“I just stood my ground on the penalty shot, similar to a shootout,” Brodeur said. “He tried to go around me but he couldn’t lift the puck. Then on the goal, they won the faceoff clean and he picked a corner through a maze of guys. That was definitely de-flating.”

Spring arrives on the creekMichael G. began

the first leg of his long return jour-ney to the Mid-

dle East today. I will miss him, and I wish him safe travels until we see each other again.

During his visit here over the past two weeks, spring has firmly taken hold, and the signs of it are everywhere you look: balmy temperatures, trees in leaf and wildflowers blooming.

Michael G. and I made sev-eral visits to San Felipe Creek while he was here. On Mon-

day afternoon, we took a walk along the creek at Rotary Park and found another sure sign that spring is here to stay: American Rubyspots.

American Rubyspots are damselflies, relatives of the larger dragonflies. The fastest way of distinguishing a dam-sel from a dragon is that dam-sels fold their wings up over their backs when they perch, and dragons leave their wings open when they are at rest.

American Rubyspots also seem to be one of the first members of this order that we get to see along the creek when spring arrives, and throughout the year, they are certainly the most numerous.

On our walk in Rotary Park on Monday, we found male and female American Rubyspots perched on vegeta-tion all along the bank of the creek, from the Canal Street Bridge downstream.

When you see a male American Rubyspot, you can easily see how these dam-selflies got their common name. The wings of the male each have a bright crimson patch near their bases. Female American Rubyspots have a reddish patch as well, but it isn’t as bright as the males’, and often looks brownish or bronzy.

Both male and female rubyspots have metallic green bodies with cream-colored markings. In different lighting

conditions, the body can also appear brown or bronzish.

In his new and very excel-lent book, “Damselflies of Texas A Field Guide,” Dr. John C. Abbott writes of the Amer-ican Rubyspot, “Both sexes are often found in good num-bers streamside and perch horizontally on twigs and leaves of riparian vegetation; females often perch higher than males. There is no court-ship, but males aggressively

defend territories through cir-cular flights. Females lay eggs on vegetation at the surface or by submerging themselves.”

These brightly-colored damselflies are constant pres-ences along San Felipe Creek when I wander along its banks in the summer months, and it was nice to see them as one of the heralds of spring.

Photo by Karen Gleason | ContributedOne of the most common damselflies found in our region is the American Rubyspot. It is also one of the first damsels to be seen along San Felipe Creek in early spring. In this photo shot March 12, a female American Rubyspot suns herself along the creek bank in Del Rio Rotary Park.

'Be ready' best way

to survive a disaster

Surviving a disas-ter can be greatly influenced by how well prepared you

are. Learning what to do and what items you should have in your “emergency kit” doesn’t have to be dif-ficult or expensive. It is im-portant to consider all the items that will be needed by every member in your home, including your pets. In Texas, disasters can come in the form of tor-nados, fires, floods, earth-quakes, accidental injuries, terrorist attacks, disease outbreaks, or any other di-sastrous event. Emergency home preparedness begins at home.

First, it is important to establish a plan. Create a plan on how to obtain in-formation about disasters should communications be down. Often during storms, people do not have work-ing cable that will pro-vide them with necessary weather alerts. If possible, invest in a portable radio or a hand crank radio, which will serve to provide you valuable weather and emer-gency reports.

Next, build your emer-gency kit. Every kit should include the following: Water: A one gallon

jug will provide water for one person for three days. Every member of your fam-ily should have their own gallon jug. Food: Canned food and

foods that do not require refrigeration should be kept in your kit. Keep at least three days’ worth of food in stock. Pet food and medica-

tions Flashlights and extra

batteries. Whenever possi-ble, a solar power flashlight should be included in your kit. First aid kit that in-

cludes gauze, triple anti-biotic ointment, bandages, tape, ace wraps, antiseptic wipes and spray, cotton swabs, thermometer, saline bottles, soap, lighter, al-cohol, scissors, tweezers, glove and a space blanket (lightweight plastic foil blanket). Other important items

to have are medications, particularly if you or a member of your family has a medical condition requir-ing life-saving medications. Over the counter medica-tions to consider for your emergency kit includes as-pirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, allergy medications such as Benadryl, and anti-diar-rheal medications. Topical medications to include in your kit include antiseptic ointment, Aloe Vera gel, anti-itch cream, and tinc-ture of benzoin. Life-saving medications include heart or blood pressure medica-tions, insulin, anti-seizure medication and any other prescribed medications that must be taken daily. If there is warning of a storm or di-saster, plan ahead and talk to your pharmacist about filling your script early.

By preparing in advance, you will help protect your family, prevent or control injuries until help arrives, and even save a life.

Val Verde Library awaits 'Big Read'Last Sunday, Nancy

O’Brien from the Del Rio Council for the Arts an-nounced in her column the coming of the “The Big Read” programming to Del Rio and Val Verde County in April. “The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts de-signed to restore reading to the center of American cul-ture. The NEA presents The Big Read in cooperation with Arts Midwest.” The Del Rio Council for the Arts was fortunate to receive a grant to host programming from “The Big Read” in 2012. They were required to partner with a local library and other community entities under program guidelines. We are the library in this case. Also participating will be South-west Texas Junior College and Casa De La Cultura. We will host a “kickoff” for the programming taking place throughout April on April 1 at the library. This will take

place at 2:00 p.m.I think it is fitting that “Sun

Stone and Shadows, 20 Great Mexican Short Stories,” which is edited by Jorge F. Hernandez, has been chosen as the book for discussion. This book is a translation of “Sol, Piedra y Sombras, Cuentistas Mexicanos de la Primera Mitad del Siglo XX.”

It is a selection of some of the greatest Mexican Short Stories from the first half of the 20th century. Among the writers represented are Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes and Juan Rulfo. I had the honor to meet Mr. Fuentes at a literary conference at the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg years ago. I have read some of his short stories and also those of Mr. Rulfo.

Copies of the book in Eng-

lish as well as in Spanish will be available for people interested in reading the sto-ries. I do not know when the books will become available yet. We will help the Del Rio Council for the Arts dissemi-nate this information as soon as it is known.

There also will be a num-ber of book discussion groups scheduled during the month for participants to talk about the book with other readers, including what they have experienced in reading it. Some of these book dis-cussions will take place at the library. Other activities are in

development. We will have copies of the schedules avail-able at the library as soon as it is finalized.

As the preface to the “Reader’s Guide” notes: “There is perhaps no better way for two nations (Mexico and the United States) to learn about one another than through sharing their stories.

“ 'Sun, Stone, and Shadows' presents a superb selection of the finest Mexican short sto-ries of the twentieth century. No one can read this arresting volume without experiencing the wonder and surprise of discovery.”

Watch for more informa-tion about “The Big Read” ahead.

I previously led similar programming when I worked at another library and found it to be most rewarding. Please call us should you have questions. You may ask for me when you call should you wish to do so.

In other news, story time on Wednesday, March 21, will have a “Spring Begins” craft. “Books 4 Lunch” on Thursday, March 22 will feature Rita Daniels talking about the Girl Scouts.

See you at the library!

By DIANA R. FUENTESDel Rio News-Herald

Taking a couple of hours to learn CPR can prove to be worth the time

in just a matter of seconds when a human being’s heart stops unexpectedly.

You, too, can learn this life-saving skill.

Licensed Paramedic Susie Jechow is part of the regional faculty at Val Verde Regional Medical Center that trains everyone from healthcare

professionals to high school students in appropriate types of CPR techniques.

Jechow noted that in 2011, 760 people were trained through the VVRMC EMS Academy. Hospital staff, doc-tors and dentists, daycare workers and homemakers learned CPR in the Saturday morning classes. It can be vi-tal training.

True story

Jechow likes to tell this story:

Two months ago, a visitor to Diablo East in the Amis-tad National Recreation Area went into cardiac arrest.

Fortunately for the visitor, there were three National Park Service workers in the area who had been trained in life-saving skills at the park headquarters. They began CPR on the visitor and used an Automatic External Defi-brillator to shock the visitor’s heart twice, restoring a pulse. When VVRMC paramedics

VVRMC instructors teach CPR to all ages in hands-on classes

New Century Club sees work of genuis ShoopWhen the mem-

bers of New Century club met for their

regular meeting on Wednes-day, March 7, they were thrilled to see the number of

large pictures on display. "Architectural Gems in

Del Rio" was listed as the program for the day. Ann Hodge had taken a serious look at the work of Phillip L. Shoop, a San Antonio genius whose work has contributed to many timeless homes in Del Rio and nearby ranching areas.

Hodge traveled to San An-tonio to confer with the cur-rent members of the archi-

tecture firm, which enabled her to present information about Shoop’s work. She also read an article printed in 1924 covering the work of Shoop. The article docu-mented many of his projects beginning when he was 14.

One of the homes de-signed by Shoop is the cur-rent residence of Anale Hodge. She was an honored guest present at this meet-ing. Anale Hodge’s ranch

headquarters home was also designed by Shoop.

When Judith Bishop in-troduced the program we had no Idea what a special informative program was in store.

The business meeting was conducted by Omega Za-vala acting for president Ja-nis Wilson, who was out of town.

Carol Cooper presented a printed copy of the revisions

previously voted on. These are to be added to our books.

Ann Hodge and Jeannie Lewis were hostesses for the day. A very elegant tea table featured four beautiful or-chids.

Silver trays and a beauti-ful compote completed the setting. Coffee, cola and al-mond cookies were served.

The meeting adjourned with the recitation of the Club collect.

donna salter

arrived at the scene, the vis-itor’s pulse had been restored and in the emergency room, the visitor was responsive enough to be transferred by air to a cardiac hospital in San Antonio.

That person was given a second chance at life because people nearby knew what to do in an emergency.

Licensed Paramedic Lisa Lozano also works at VVRMC’s EMS Academy.

Take a class

“The chances of your doing CPR in your work environ-ment may be slim, but when it comes to your family, you nev-er know,” Lozano said. “The quicker CPR is started, the better the chance of survival.”

The instructors are commit-ted to teaching as many people as possible how to do CPR as well as basic first aid.

“Once a month, Susie does a ‘friends and family’ class and it’s for anybody who wants to learn CPR,” Lozano said. “There’s no certification and no cost.

"In the class, you learn to recognize cardiac arrest and you’ll know how to respond to it, how to treat it,” she ex-plained.

“We’re trying to get a lot of Winter Texans involved in learning CPR,” Lozano added.

The VVRMC instructors are certified to teach Ameri-can Heart Association car-diopulmonary resuscitation

(CPR), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) courses.

“These instructors know the importance of that first responder not being fire, po-lice or EMS, but being a family member or friend who starts CPR in the first few minutes of collapse,” noted a news release issued by Jechow.

The CPR classes are offered at least 10 times a month. For a complete schedule, visit www.vvrmc.org and click on “Class-es & Events in the menu bar at the top of the page.

Several options

There are classes specifi-cally for healthcare providers who need initial certification or recertification. The one for the layperson is called CPR-Heartsaver/1st Aid. It typically costs $80 for the course, which takes one morning. The next class is scheduled for Saturday, March 24, at 8:30 a.m. For more information, call Kiki Luna at (830) 778-3632.

There should be another free class in April.

In a recent news release, Jechow pointed out that there are several area organizations that have joined in the effort

to train more people in CPR, including Del Rio High School health science technology programs, San Felipe Del Rio CISD athletic trainers, Del Rio Fire Department, Del Rio Po-lice Department and Academy, National Park Service (NPS), Val Verde Sheriff’s Office and Brackettville ISD.

In addition to Jechow, Lo-zano and Luna, the faculty includes Keith Bresnahan EMT-I; Lawrence Ervin EMT-P; Perry Frost EMT-P; Jureza Parrack, RN; Dennis Ong, RN; Clover Johnson, RN; Jureza Parrack, RN; Judy Villarreal, RN; and Dr. Abeer El-Sakka.

The ACLS program is for physicians, physician’s assis-tants, respiratory technicians, nurses and paramedics. Di-rected by Dr. Jaime Gutierrez, the program certified 103 per-sons in ACLS in 2011.

“Pediatric emergencies are difficult for even the most sea-soned medical professionals,” the release states. “The PALS course takes a step-by- step approach by using the Pedi-atric Assessment Triangle to find and treat pediatric emer-gencies.”

Directed by Dr. Jose Ovie-do, 67 medical professionals were certified as PALS Pro-viders in 2011.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 18). You’ll bring har-mony to formerly discordant scenes this year and may be employed as a peacemaker, liaison, diplomat or contract negotiator. Invest in April; your instincts are hot. May brings a long-term contract. Family makes you proud in June. New friends or romance will be attracted to your grace and style. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 39, 24 and 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a big heart. Giv-ing to someone in need is so easy for you that you’d hardly call it charitable. True char-ity is giving when your need is just as grave as the other person’s.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Forgiveness is the magic element that renews your spirit. As soon as you’re able to forgive, you’ll unclench your jaw, and the laughter and lightness will come back into your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be open to hearing different points of view and slow to forming your own. Don’t worry about being ab-solutely right about anything.

Time has a way of changing and even reversing opinions.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you think is a weakness is really just a skill that doesn’t come naturally to you. That doesn’t mean you can’t learn it, though. To attain the skill, choose a role model you can follow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll do what you can to help a loved one, including backing off and giving this person plenty of room to solve the problem indepen-dent of you. That’s a wise move, indeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your finances are getting better, largely due to your increased optimism and the way you let it move you into action. Consider giving some of your busywork to someone with too much time on her hands.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Not everyone can get a hold on emotions the way you can. You’ll set an example for oth-ers and turn a difficult situa-tion around. Forcing yourself to smile is one way to coun-teract negativity and stress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are many who need and want something from you now. Is it the same “something” you want to

give? Maybe. Either way, you certainly won’t starve for at-tention. As the day progress-es, you may crave moments to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your influ-ence is indirect, and yet it is powerful. If you could share one piece of advice that you knew others would heed, what would it be? Living that piece of advice today is the luckiest thing you can do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are many fac-tors that govern your path, and not all of them are in your control. It’s hard to tell the difference between the changeable and unchange-able factors now, but try.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There will be a handful of tasks on your mental agen-da that you just don’t feel like doing. But if you can accom-plish just one of them, you’ll be in a far better place. Get-ting started will be the hard-est part.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You wonder why you do things you don’t like. Life is not so simple for you now, and that’s part of the issue. Reflect, sort, and pare down your possessions and other baggage that may be clouding your view of life.

DEAR ABBY: I will grad-uate from college in June and be a social worker. I am psychic, although I dislike that word because it con-jures up visions of crystal balls, quacks and scams. For legitimate psychic individu-als, it can be overwhelming to live this way.

I first noticed my ability when I was young, but I re-pressed it because my folks thought I was imagining things. It began to resurge in college. This school is haunted, so I have become used to daily interactions with ghosts -- often in the dead of night. I also notice that during client counsel-ing sessions images will pop into my head. I once gave a classmate the “willies” by perfectly describing the gar-den in her backyard having never laid eyes on it. My adviser says I must never tell my clients the things I “see” in them because it will frighten them.

It’s hard to separate my own thoughts and emotions from those of spirits around me. I’m concerned about my psychic ability in relation to my clients. If I pick up on abuse in the mind of a child, for example, am I obligated to report it?

Being psychic is as natu-ral to me as my having blue eyes. It will never go away. I must now find the means to manage it. I don’t want a career as a medium. I’m dedicated to the profession I have chosen. Can you of-fer me advice? -- GIFTED IN NEW YORK

DEAR GIFTED: Instead of using your visions to form JUDGMENTS about your clients, use them to guide you during interviews. If you do, you will then be better equipped to provide con-crete proof of the need for an intervention than revealing you “saw” something that others can’t see or wasn’t disclosed to you.

Many people have psychic abilities to a greater or less-er degree than you do, and those “vibes” can be invalu-able. It is possible that your gift will give you insight into the individuals you will serve. I wish you success.

CourtesyDel Rio-Val Verde County United Way took time to honor its Pacesetters and Agencies for raising almost $113,000 in the Fall 2011 Campaign. Gathered with awards in hand and smiles on their faces are (seated from left) Dora Alcala (UW Board & Border Federal Credit Union), Gloria Ziegler (Val Verde Regional Medical Center), Midiam Flores (UW President & Bendix). Standing (from left) are Nicole Diaz (H-E-B), Briana Muraira (Dr. Fermin Calderon Elementary), Norma Garza (Texas Community Bank), Barbara Plyler (UW Board & DelTex RV), Lilia Diaz (City of Del Rio), Jennifer Barnard (UW Board & The Bank & Trust), Maddie Trevino (Del Rio Housing Authority), Dot Steed (UW Board & Val Verde Training Center), Jaime Chapa (Val Verde County), Laura English (UW Board & SFDRCISD), Ken Hayes (Del Rio Christians Alliance Reaching Teens), Sylvia Davila (UW Board & IBC), Jorge Limon (Lamar Elementary), Gloria Glenn (Grace Community Church), and Sandra Hernandez (Ruben Chavira Elementary).

United Way overshoots its $100,000 goalSpeCial to the NewS-herald

The Del Rio-Val Verde County United Way Fall 2011 Campaign overshot its $100,000 goal by almost 13 per-cent, raising $112,938.95. This money

will be distributed among 18 human services, health, youth, and animal service agencies in Del Rio and Val Verde County throughout 2012.

United Way Board President Midiam Flores addressed more than 60 business, government, and non-profit organization leaders at a Thank You Luncheon hosted by the Val Verde Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at the Dink Wardlaw Community Room. Flores expressed appre-ciation for the Board of Directors and the new Chief Professional Officer Willie Braudaway for their work on the Fall 2011 Campaign. Then,

she got to the business of honoring the generos-ity of the employees who donated and pledged their hard-earned money to the work of United Way.

The Numero Uno award was earned again this year by Val Verde Regional Medical Cen-ter for raising almost $20,000. Diamond awards for those who raised more than $10,000 went to The Bank & Trust, Walmart and Bendix. The employees of these four businesses accounted for almost half of the entire amount raised in the Fall 2011 Campaign

Raising more than $5,000 earned H-E-B #1, H-E-B #2, and Kimberly Clark Platinum awards. The entire staff of H-E-B #1 earned the 100 per-cent Participation award. All of San Felipe Del Rio CISD also earned a Platinum award with Dr. Fermin Calderon Elementary raising the most money of all the schools. Lamar Elementary School and Ruben Chavira Elementary School

received 100 percent participation awards.Gold awards were presented to those who

raised more than $1,000 including, JC Penney, City of Del Rio, Ford Lincoln Mercury, Val Verde County (new this year), Border Federal Credit Union, UPS, Del Rio Housing Author-ity and Amistad Bank (new this year). Del Rio Housing Authority also received a 100 percent Participation and were noted as the first to get their money and pledges into the United Way office.

Silver awards (more than $500) went to Grace Community Church, Texas Community Bank (new this year), and DelTex RV and Auto Repair Center. One Bronze award (more than $100) was earned by IBC (new this year.)

This year the United Way agencies were challenged to raise at least 10 percent of their own allocation by holding fundraisers for United Way or contacting small businesses for

donations. The Del Rio Council for the Arts raised $1,030, the most money of all 18 agen-cies. Reach Out and Read raised $610, which represented the greatest percentage of their al-location. Del Rio Christian Alliance Reaching Teens contacted the most businesses, raising $525. Each of these agencies received a check from United Way for $100 to further their good work.

It is now time for non-profit human service, health, youth, and animal service agencies in Del Rio and Val Verde County to make applica-tion for the Fall 2012 Campaign. The Agency Application Training meeting will be 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, in the St. James Episcopal Church Parish Hall. Application deadline will be April 23.

For more information, call or email Willie Braudaway at 774-0704 or [email protected].

Grant writing tips from the United Way Chief Professional Officer

As Chief Professional Officer for United Way, I would love to see more non-profit

organizations apply to become United Way Participating Agen-cies. More agencies will mean more money to raise in the Fall Campaign, but it also means

more local folks deriving ben-efit from your generosity.

I have been involved in grant writing for more than 20

years and have been review-ing grants for funders for 10 of those years. I’ll be shar-ing some of my expertise at the UW Agency Application Training at 6 p.m. on March 20 at the St. James Episco-pal Church Parish Hall. Until then, here are three main and

a few minor tips to help any organization write more effec-tive grants.

1. Give the granting orga-nization what it asks for in the least amount of words pos-sible

2. Give the granting orga-nization only what it asks for

3. Have someone else proof-read the application: Answer the questions in

the space provided – no fair using tiny print to get more in. Answer only the ques-

tions the funder asks – no fair throwing in extra material that draws attention away from what the funder wants to know. Make sure each sentence

is answering a specific ques-tion – no fair rambling on and on, saying the same thing from one section to the next – grant reviewers stop reading when

they see this. Description of Organiza-

tion – Who are you, why are you qualified to ask for help? Statement of Need –

What are the demographics of the group you are seeking to serve; how do you know there is a real need? Objectives and Program

Description – Are your objec-tives tangible, specific, con-crete, measurable, and achiev-able within a specific time period; does your program convince the funder that you know what you are doing? Program Timetable –

Does the project begin after you actually receive the funds and end before the evaluation is due? Itemized budget – Did

you break out the expenses into categories the way the

funder defines them and item-ize each dollar amount? Evaluation – Did you

build evaluation into the proj-ect so you are collecting quan-titative and qualitative data throughout the project? Provide only the support-

ing documentation requested – no fair giving more or less than what is requested.

Join me on Tuesday to learn more about how to become a United Way Participating Agency.

Website of the Week: http://www.grantproposal.com is “a site devoted to pro-viding free resources for both advanced grantwriting consul-tants and inexperienced non-profit staff.”
