Will He or Won't He

The speculation persists as to whether current Mayor Chad Foster will register for the position of city Mayor, a position he has held for six years.

Registration for city elections will open this Monday, February 8th at city hall and Mary Jane Salgado is the first to declare her intention to file with the official event to take place on Friday, February 12 at city offices.

Aside from the position for City Mayor, two city council positions will also be on the ballot. Councilman Luis Sifuentes and Ramsey Cantu currently hold those positions.

Cantu has also expressed an interest in running for Mayor but no official date for his registration has been made public at this time. Councilman Sifuentes has made no announcement whether he plans to seek another term.

Voters will also get to vote on a city charter amendment seeking to extend term limits from 2 to 4 years for these positions.

Registration for all positions closes in 30 days.



Young mariachi bands battle

Yara Reyes, a senior from Port Isabel High School, doesn't play in the school marching band.

But, she wonders, why would she, when she can play in the school mariachi band?

“Growing up, the Spanish music is everywhere,” Reyes said. “In the morning, you wake up, and your mom is cleaning the house to it. It's part of our lives. So playing it comes naturally.”

Reyes was one of more than 100 high school musicians from around the region who gathered Saturday at Edgewood Independent School District's Theatre for the Performing Arts for the first Best High School Mariachi in Texas competition. The event was hosted by the Mexican-American School Board Association.

The nine bands present, hand-selected by a panel of MASBA judges, donned their trajes de charro, the traditional uniform of the mariachi, and took up violins, trumpets, guitars, violas, harps and guitarrones to play for 15 minutes per group.MORE

 twins
Jerardo & Javier

Oh my goodness, how can this be? Our amazing twins are becoming teens!

So many good things come in pairs, like ears and socks and panda bears. But, best of all are set of twins, with extra laughter, double grins. There’s so much fun in having two…twice as many points of view. So much alike, forever linked, and yet they’re also quite distinct. They share a birthday and a name, but moods and tempers aren’t the same. Although at times they may dispute, their loyalty is absolute.

Jerardo & Javier Tapia will be become teenagers on January 20, 2010. They currently attend Liberty Elementary. They will celebrate their birthday with family & friends.  Best wishes to them on this special day from parents Jorge & Cristina Tapia ( Class of ’93) sibling Jorge & Joel Jaaziel Tapia.

BREAKING NEWS

Appellate court overturns Kickapoo conviction
The Associated Press
Jan. 6, 2010, 10:14AM

SAN ANTONIO — A federal appellate court has overturned the conviction of a former tribal leader and his family for allegedly stealing from a tribal casino near the Texas-Mexico border.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans overturned the embezzlement convictions of Isidro Garza Jr., his wife and one of his sons. The trio had been among so-called the "Kickapoo Seven" — a group of tribal and casino employees from the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas accused of stealing from the tribe's small casino near Eagle Pass.

The appellate court overturned the convictions because it said that U.S. District Judge Alia Ludlum erred in transferring the case to Waco, about 300 miles from where the defendants, attorneys and witnesses lived.

CandidateSan Antonio Doctor Joins Race for Texas Governor
(Born in Eagle Pass)

dallas.dbusinessnews.com

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dr. Alma Aguado, M.D., has announced that she will vie for the Governor of Texas' seat in 2010. Dr. Aguado would be the first Hispanic woman physician to hold the position.

Dr. Aguado (D), a San Antonio internist, believes that Texas is in critical need of a leader who understands our unique demographic. With a large Baby Boomer generation retiring and leaving the labor force in the near future, Dr. Aguado sees that Millennials have a critical role in Texas' future. "The Hispanic labor force is expected to be more than one-half by the year 2040," says Dr. Aguado. "In order for Texas' economy to be sustainable, our youth must regain education and skills. As a state, we must hold them to a higher standard."  MORE
