Paint The Town Project Underway
By Diana L. Torres
Let's Get Ready to Roll.
Paint The Town's summer anti-graffiti project got under way on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, at Froggy Park in the Mundo Nuevo area.
Over 67 volunteers from diverse community groups came and painted over unsightly "taggings" in the area, which as explained by EPPD Sergeant Moises Pena is vandalism and if caught violators can be sent to prison. Sergent Pena EPPD also expressed his gratitude to everyone present and conveyed to the volunteers to take care of their property and take pride in having clean neighborhoods in Eagle Pass.
Volunteers came from several summer programs at the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas reservation. Also from Pete Gallego, Liberty, Robert E. Lee, Ray Darr, and Sam Houston Elementary schools. Other campuses represented were groups from Eagle Pass & Memorial Junior Highs, C.C. Winn and EP High Schools.
Also helping out for the very first time were members of the Ballet Folklorico of SWTJC, and volunteers from the EPISD Parent Center. Sponsors included, Rodee's Country Fried Chicken, Wal-Mart, Lowes, KTTT, Maverick County Commissioners Cesar Flores and Rudy Heredia, Eagle Pass and EPISD Police, Eagle Pass Parks & Rec Dept, and South Texas Rural Health Services.
Next event is Wednesday, June 24 from 9:30am to 12:30 pm, volunteers need to show up at the parking lot of the EPISD Athletic Complex on Del Rio Blvd.
Newly hired Coach Quits
By Roberto Castillo
EPalumni.Com
It came as a total surprise when word spread that Eddie Baca; the newly hired CC Winn head football coach had resigned. According to sources Coach Baca notified Coach Graf by phone of his decision citing his difficulty in finding a house or any other living arrangement in Eagle Pass.
It was also stated that his reason for resigning seemed somewhat questionable but that perhaps Baca had second thoughts about his new job and the alleged difficulty in finding a house or apartment was not quite the reason.
One staffer described Baca as a very qualified person with a very impressive resume which gave everyone confidence in knowing that they had a good coach for the much needed position.
This sudden setback leaves CC Winn in the same dire position they found themselves if not worse.
Its expected that the district will extended the offer to the other applicants that applied for the position of head coach now that Baca has resigned. Jorge Ruiz from Natalia seems to be a serious contender for Baca's totally unexpected replacement. The District is reportedly meeting with applicants on Tuesday.
Efforts to reach Baca for an explanation were unsuccessful but will continue.

EPISD to Receive $7,193,000
By Robert Castillo
Random Thoughts
The entire school district has been approved for a total of $7,193,000 from the stimulus bill educational funds enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009.
From this amount, $4,2008,000 is directed for expenditures allowed under the Title 1-A which gives School districts a wide latitude in the expenditure of funds to improve student achievement. Title I funds can be used for tutoring, reducing class size and after school programs.
The remaining $2,985,000 falls under IDEA Part B expenses which are intended to ensure that children with disabilities have access to a appropriate public education that meets a child’s unique needs and prepares him or her for further education, employment, and independent living.
All these funds are at the disposal of our school district that besides improvements in education, they are also intended to stimulate the economy through purchases, hiring and yes even some construction.

A former U.S. Customs officer in Eagle Pass who is a cousin of a federal judge was sentenced Friday to five years of probation for importing a small amount of cocaine.
The Homeland Security Department arrested Alex Moses Jr., 28, Sept. 27 after Border Patrol agents found almost 2 pounds of marijuana and 6 grams of cocaine in his possession at a checkpoint north of Del Rio.
U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez gave Moses probation after learning Moses turned to drugs while going through a bad divorce.
Moses faced up to six months in jail but also qualified for probation, according to recommended sentencing guidelines.
“I deeply regret what I did,” Moses told the judge.
The case was assigned to Rodriguez in San Antonio to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest.
Moses is a cousin of U.S. District Judge Alia Moses Ludlum, who sits in Del Rio and routinely hears cases on the border, including Eagle Pass.

Transcript of County Commissioner Heredia statement about recent article on Express-News
McCormack came from the Express News for the record is that you know he started asking me questions and he told me he was the reporter for the Express News. And I said well you know..if you need all the information you need to go to our administrator judge, our county auditor, financial advisor and our county attorney. There is no need for me to come ...for you to come over here to ask me about the landfill. I said because I am just a commissioner and I am only one vote. And when we make a project the whole commissioner's court approves that. And every item that I have put on the landfill has been unanimous and one of the things that bother me was that you know I went to the judge and automatically he told me "I don't know nothing about the lanfill," You go because that's Commissioner Da..(inaudible)'s baby. And I got a little bit upset you know. And so well you can't get that I want you to post it on the newspaper which he never did. So just for the record.

Landfill project raising eyebrows
By John MacCormack - Express-News
Web Posted: 05/09/2009 12:00 CDT
EAGLE PASS — On weekdays, Hector Chavez still wears the hat of city public works director, supervising about 90 employees and a budget of $2.5 million, while drawing an annual salary of around $71,000.
On nights and weekends, Chavez, 60, says his time is spent overseeing the county's new $6 million landfill project. Since 2006, his consulting company, Chace Management, has received close to $1 million from the county, and months of work remain.
“There's no conflict between what I'm be doing over there and what I'm doing here,” Chavez said during a lunchtime visit to the landfill site about 10 miles south of Eagle Pass, noting that city officials signed off on the unusual moonlighting deal years ago.
