in Visual Communications in 1994.

No sooner is one politics over when another starts. Get ready for the city elections coming up soon. Mayors, commissioners and others will be re-elected or replaced in the coming elections. Oh, well, the beat goes on! I haven't done a publication since the school board election and some people are beginning to think that I have left the area. Nope! Still here! And I plan to be here as long as I get the support from the community and feel appreciated and needed. Businesswise? The support is not there yet! There are many businesses in town but few want to spend their hard earned money to advertise their products. My only say to this is: How do you expect your customers to know what you are selling if you don't tell them? This media is especially formulated for that purpose. El que no habla, Dios no lo oye! Word coming from the Washington DC down the line is that the US Congress and the President are getting ready to CUT the budget in a big time way. We will just have to wait and see how these proposed cuts will affect our local economies. Schools and cities that depend greatly on federal funds may feel the pinch and may have to RIF RIF RIF again. (RIF = reduction in force or employees). Lets just wait and see. Do not start thinking that the sky is falling as would have chicken little. Vamos a ver! The budget? If you don't spend it, youll have it! But if you dont spend, what do you want it for? This is the RICHMANs (RM) or conservative way of thinking - get it the money, get it and get it! Then, keep it! Keep it! Keep it! It looks good on the budget but bad on those who really need it and cant get it because the RM wants to keep it. Tight budget at central office means somebody will do without and its usually those that need it most. Its a good idea to save for a rainy day, but not to save for the end of the world or eternity. Besides it never rains here! And if the world ends, you wont need it anymore. Nobody will. Ya Pa Que??? For the poor its a different outlook on the world. The world runs on whats there today. If it runs out, we are done for! We don't have that same bag of $$$ stashed anywhere as the RM mentioned above. We only get what we need for today and thats it. We dont that spare to save and to keep for the future. We just get along for the day and then hope to make for the next paycheck, if there is one. When its over, its over! Like Carlos Santana s song says,Se acabo! _________________________________________________ OK! That is what I think about the $$$ituation! What do you think? I know you have a different opinion. Want to have your opinion stated? If you do, I would definitely want to hear it. Send me a note or a letter on email at lupesnz@gmail.com. But do it! Here is your chance to have your say for or against what I write in these columns. Say it now or forever hold your peace. Remember, in Donna there a very few avenues in which you can express your opinion freely. My paper is yours. You write, sign it, and Ill publish it. Its the American way. Speak up, Donna! This is your chance. Write to m e or email me and I will publish your opinion. First Amendment Rights apply. God Bless America, USA! Es todo!

Some very true words to ponder from an old person to you

Young people sometimes wonder and ask me, Do you like being old? As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 50, 60 & 70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will. I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, ( not really!) and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old. I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things. Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect. I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver. (I'm not gray yet! Not while my hairdresser can still do her magic.) As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong. So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it). MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART! -Author Unknown-

Meet Doctor Michael Flores a Donna Community Servant

By Lupe Saenz, Jr. Donna, Texas - Every year as another group of young people graduate from high school and move on, one hopes that from each class there will be some who will educate themselves well and later return to serve the community. This is every parents dream. In 1988, the class graduated and went on its way to many areas in the world, some never came back, some did. One of those individuals from the Class of 1988, was a young man who did come back and had many dreams to achieve. Today, Michael Flores is known as Michael Flores, MD. After graduating from Donna High School, (Dr.) Flores, attended the University of Texas Pan American while working full time to support himself through school. He graduated from college but his dream was not there yet. A college degree was only beginning. He later enrolled and was accepted to medical school at the University of Michigan to continue his dream to become a medical doctor. That he did and did it well. So, today, Dr. Flores has his own practice. He has been in the medical business ever since and has become an important citizen in the community of Donna, Texas. Besides being a proud medical doctor, Dr. Flores is also very proud of his service as a DISD School Board member. As a school board member, Dr. Flores attributes board success to unity. Our school board has been able to accomplish more than previous boards. We have been able to unite and overcome a financial dilemmas that seemed impossible. And we did it such a way that we did not hurt the community by restructuring and letting go of many employees, says Dr. Flores. Just like he feels that he received a good start in school, Dr. Flores believes that each student attending todays schools should be provided the tools to succeed in life, finances, health, and religion. We want our students to learn to be independent and make good decisions, informed decisions, and to learn to question things. And in the process we produce good students in realms of science, math and other fields. DISD has got to provide the best in education including a good infrastructure, good curriculum, technology, and the tools necessary to be competitive in education and by default the job market and just life in general. Dr. Flores is married to Melissa (Rodriguez) Flores of Donna. The Floress have three children, Michael, Samantha, and Joe. All three are attending the university. Dr. Flores and family belong to the Calvary Baptist Church in McAllen. He belongs to several civic and medical organizations including Mid Valley Physicians Association, Health Springs HMO Board,

Juanita Tamez Saenz, migrant field worker, wife and mother of eight Remembered as Mothers Day Near
By Lupe Saenz, Jr. The Saenz's, Tamez's, Aleman's, and all those who followed us up north were like migratory birds who head north for the summer and south for the winter. I guess you can say that we were the original "Winter Texans" except our flights were not for vacation but to work the fields as hand laborers who harvested America's crops such as sugar beets, tomato, cucumbers or "pepino," soy bean, and many others. In fact, the Saenz's would leave La Villa, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley to Michigan as early as the first week in May and come back as late as November and sometimes December. School was still in session when we'd leave and was way into the first semester when we would return. Of course, there were other years and routes that my older brothers and sister would remember. Each one of my eight brothers and sisters has his or her own accounts of these migrant memories and mom. These are the migrant routes I remember and the part mom played in it. Its June, early summer in the thumb area of the state of Michigan. In one of several migrant farm worker labor camps spotted throughout this farming area, at about 4 am each morning, the workers, especially the women, are beginning to wake up for the day to get ready for another day of hard work in the sugar beet fields. The Michigan Sugar Company is expecting a lot from these Texas migrants field workers who devote their summers to the sugar beet in and around Unionville, Michigan, just about 2-3 miles on the shore of Lake Huron. All the green painted houses of Bell Station Labor Camp are beginning to come alive at 4 am in the morning. The alarm clock went off. Juanita would pull the string that connected the light bulb and the bed and the room would light up. My dad would ask, "Ya es hora, Juanita?" Juanita T. Saenz, my mom, is one of those women who always was the first one up each morning and last one to go to bed each night. My brothers and sisters are still asleep at 4 am but not my mom nor my dad. They are both up in order to prepare for another hard days work in the sugar fields. Juanita would prepare the food for the day including making fresh flour tortillas and beans along with boiled eggs or boiled potatoes as the staple foods for the day. The smell of freshly baked tortillas was our morning wake up alarm. If it wasnt the tortilla smell that woke us up, it was the sound of the metal file as my dad would sharpen the hoes we would be using during the day at the fields thinning the young sugar beet plants in their infant stage. By five am, most of us were also up because we wanted to be sure to eat some tortillas with beans early before we headed out to the truck that would transport us to sugar beet fields around the farm areas nearby. This was our daily ritual. Mom would lead the way out with her bundle of packed "lonche" with coffee in a thermal or bottle, one or two plastic bottles (used Clorox bottles) for our daily water, and anything else needed to make it through the hard work's day ahead. And on weekends, she would do the laundry and the shopping for the week. She would go to the corner grocer store in Unionville and buy the food supplies for the week. My moms migrant life was a hard one because she took care of the family doing the house chores and also spend the day working along everybody else. Her day was never over. When we got home at the end of a long hard day, most of us would just sit around to relax while she would get on the kitchen work and prepare the food for the family and supper and to prepare the clothes, the necessary items for the next day too. Juanitas ritual of a migrant mom would continue throughout the work season whether it was in the sugar beet fields at Unionville, Michigan or Leipzig, Ohio in the tomato fields or in the cotton fields of Altus, Oklahoma, and even the celery farms of New York state. The migrants life of a woman was the toughest life of all. I don't know how she did this day in and day out, but she was a strong woman who set the example for all us on how to work, live, and love the family. I was the most sickly kid in the family as we were growing up in the migrant fields. I remember one time passing out in the middle of soy bean field somewhere near Akron, Michigan. My mom rushed to me to see to my welfare immediately. I woke up in the doctor's office in Unionville with mom and dad holding on to me. That's the mother I remember. Happy birthday, Mom, Juanita Tamez Saenz. 10-21- 2012. My mom was always proud to be a Tamez. Thus, each time she would say here name, she would emphasize her maiden name. Mom has been resting in peace since 1998. I will always remember my mom, Juanita T. Saenz and especially on Easter Sundays each and the special meals she would cook for us including all the Pascuas foods that go with it. But I usually miss her more on Mothers Day in May and las serenatas for all moms. This was usually her favorite time of the year because all her sons and daughter would call her to wish her the best and give her their love, some with flowers, food, or buy her a special dress. Me, I would bring Serenatas A Mi Madre! Miss her. This coming May, make sure you remember your moms. Without them, the world is nothing. Send your mother some flowers, make her feel special.

NCES: Donna ISD Population Nears 57,000 in 2010 Census

By Lupe Saenz, El Donneno News Review Publisher/Editor As one reads he statistics presented in the chart on the left, interesting points can be deduced from the interpretation of the data. Several conclusions can be made by officials about school district growth and population served distribution. And please be aware that these are 2010 Census numbers and are estimates according to Census collected. In addition, these numbers can be under represented since many people do not get counted for various reasons. So what can be deduced from these numbers? An interesting one could be the comparison between male and female numbers. There were about 1,200 more females than male reported or 51 percent female versus 49 percent male. Thats pretty even, I think, however interesting as to where were the other 2 percent male? Widows perhaps? However there seems to be more girls in every category from 5 year olds all the way to 17 year olds. Explanation? Going down the line, look at the family households. There are 12,620 family households within the school district with 62 percent married couples, 23 percent other family such as living with grandparents or other family members; 765 single family males; and 2,678 women living alone as head of family or 18 percent. What is going to happen when this population reaches 80 or 90 thousand and the funding from the state or federal government becomes harder to attain? These are some of the very important issues that the school districts around the valley need to really consider for future planning. We keep inculcating to our students that a college education is very important for the future of these communities. However, check out the statistics on educated people in DISD. It can be a source of concern if these numbers do not improve. We cannot blame the school systems for this, or should we? Maybe its not the system but the economy? Only 2 percent of the male population and almost 3 percent of females have any college or degrees? Concern? The rest of the statistics may explain these dire numbers and it has to do with poverty and the poverty level in this area. We live in a very high poverty area that the feds need to keep in mind as they consider cuts. Fed cuts will hurt those that are already hurting economically and will only aggravate the economic situation and its affect on education and future of these economically disadvantaged populations.

2012 Property Tax Rates in City of Donna

On the City of Donna website there is a notice posted that concerns the 2012 property tax rates for City of Donna. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property Did the City Adopt the new Tax rate in 2012? What is it? If City of Donna adopts a 2012 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $1.205005 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2011 taxes by $287,184. For a summary of actual effective and rollback tax rates' calculations, persons can inspect a copy of the full calculations at 307 S. 12th St. Donna, TX 78537.

Vietnam Veteran Awarded Bronze Star with Valor
Placido Salazar, a retired airman, earlier this month received the Bronze Star Medal with Valor Device for his heroic actions when his air base came under attack in South Vietnam in 1965. Retired Col. Colin Chauret, a former commander of Salazar, pinned the Bronze Star on Salazar during the Feb. 15 ceremony at JBSA-Randolph , Tex. , according to Randolph 's Feb. 26 release. Salazar also received a Purple Heart at the ceremony. On Aug. 21, 1965, Salazar, who decrypted classified messages as a member of the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing at DavisMonthan AFB, Ariz. , was deployed to Bien Hoa AB, South Vietnam. The base came under attack. Salazar secured an encrypted message he was holding and then brought his previously injured commander from a nearby building to the underground command post bunker, states the release. Salazar then helped two other senior officers to safety in the face of the enemy fire, states the release. At one point during the firefight, Salazar was knocked unconscious after slipping. Upon waking, he secured more officers and then guarded the command post until relieved. Salazar retired from the Air Force in 1976 after 20 years of service, states the release.
