"¿Estan listos? Back to School " Photo by Christy Martinez-Garcia This month's cover features a photo of a child getting ready for back to school!

The event is August 13, 2016, and is designed to offer parents and their children a day of fishing at no cost - no license, no charge for food - totally FREE, before going back to school. The event is coordinated by men and women committed to God, Family, and Community. Hope you will join us. With that, good luck to all the students. ¡Y feliz regreso a clases!

y grandfather Juan E. Castro came to mind as I thought about one of the times I went fishing. We called my grandfather "Papi" and I can still recall how he wore a hat, and smoked a cigar. My grandfather was an avid fishermen. And because each of his young kids paralleled my three younger sisters and I, someone always tagged along when he went fishing.

He loved the quiet time. And after he would teach us how to bait our hooks, share stories of when he went fishing as a kid, we would then pose many questions on him, and increase our laughing and loudness as the day went by.

Like most kids, we had a short attention span and lots of energy. Even though fishing was fun, exploring the lake was even more exciting. You would have thought we owned the lake as we made our way all over - and someone always managed to get in the water even though we were told multiple times not to.

I chuckle as I think about how my grandad did not complain when we wandered off, probably so he could have some peace and quiet.

When we got hungry, he fed us bologna with the red ring that you peeled off before you ate, or potted meat, on white bread. That was really roughing it.

After lunch, we napped - gently being lulled by the sound of the wind, water against the bank, singing birds, and the cool shade under his station wagon. The warm day absorbed all the energy out of us. When we woke up we were synergized and ready to repeat fishing, playing, and enjoyment of the day.

When it was time to leave, we packed up and everyone fought to sit in the front. Once again we were loud and excited, and by then my granddad was ready to take us home. Although he wouldn't say it, he enjoyed everyone wanting to spend time with him.

Soon, summer was over. Then it was time to get ready to go back to school. Unlike many of the other kids, my sisters and I didn't get school clothes until much later, which made sense because August was hot into September.

The first week was tough as we got back into the rhythm of a school schedule. As classes ended, I'd meet my sisters and we'd rush home, kickoff our shoes, and play outside until the sun went down.

Soon, summer turned to fall, and I think all of us longed to go fishing, and enjoy the days of simplicity and summer fun.

On behalf of Los Hermanos Familia, I invite you to please make plans to join us August 13, 2016 for our 8th Annual "Vamos a Pescar, Let's Go Fishing" FREE event. Our objective is strengthening families, and building community. We use fishing as a hook to bring families together, and experience fishing in a relaxing and safe environment with family and friends.

Founded in 2008, Los Hermanos Familia, a collaborative group of men and women, organizations, and volunteers who value God, family, and community work hard to assure that this event is free. No one will be hindered by payment thanks to our organizations, sponsors, and supporters.

In the August issue, we share back to school tips for parents and their children. We will provide more info on Facebook for daily updates. Please be sure to like our page. Again, blessings on the start of a successful school year.

Como siempre, Latino Lubbock is committed to highlighting the numerous contributions of our Latino community. Thank you to those who support our publication. We are grateful to have 100,000 readers monthly.

Please continue to support our advertisers who help make it possible to keep our publication free. Thank you for your support and May God bless you! ¡Gracias por su apoyo! Que dios los bendiga. PEACE and random acts of kindness. Que las bendiciones de dios estén contigo este mes y siempre!

he economy is at the forefront of Hispanic voters’ T minds in this presidential election year, with 86% saying the economy is very important to their vote, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.

But while Hispanics are on the same page with the overall population about the importance of the economy, they are more positive about its condition and their family’s finances than some other racial and ethnic groups.

A third (33%) of Hispanics rate the economic conditions in the country today as excellent or good, a share equal to that among blacks but higher than that among whites (25%), according to the June survey.

In addition, Hispanics are less likely than others to say their family’s income is falling behind the cost of living – 45% say so, compared with 55% of whites and 56% of blacks who say the same.

Despite this economic optimism, about half (52%) of Latinos say jobs are difficult to find in their community, a share similar to blacks and whites. At the same time, the unemployment rate for Latinos has improved over the past year, standing at 5.8% in the second quarter of 2016, down from 6.7% a year ago. However, it remains above the 4.7% national average for non-Hispanics.

Hispanics lag the U.S. public on a variety of other economic measures. For example, Hispanics had a median household income of $42,500 in 2014, compared with $53,700 for all households. Hispanics had a 23.6% poverty rate in 2014, compared with 14.8% among all households, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Still, in recent years Latinos have grown more optimistic about the future of their personal finances, according to Pew Research Center’s 2015 National Survey of Latinos.

Last year, eight-in-ten Latinos (81%) said they expect their family’s financial situation to improve a lot or some in the next year, up from 67% who said the same in December 2011.

(Among the U.S. public, our most recent survey found the s h a r e has increased more modestly, from 56% in June 2011 to 66% in June 2016.)

Latinos also continue to be more optimistic than other groups about the future of the nation’s economy. In the June 2016 survey, 44% of Latinos said they expect economic conditions in the U.S. to be better a year from now, compared with 35% of blacks and 24% of whites.

You Can Make a Difference Serve Every Child, Every Day

hether or not you have chilW dren in school, when August arrives our community is filled with back-to-school memories. Most of us can easily remember the joy of opening that box of new rainbowcolored, sharpened crayons. But for many children in our community, more than 18,000 in Lubbock ISD, school supplies are one more stress on their low-income families.

Thanks to community partners at businesses, churches and our friends at The United Family of supermarkets whose customers have filled dozens of barrels with supplies, most Lubbock area children will begin school with the supplies necessary to be successful.

As an educator, I know the importance of students being well equipped with the tools they need to obtain the necessary skills for achievement. On August 30, Lubbock ISD voters will decide whether the district can shift two cents from the Debt Service tax rate to the Maintenance and Operations tax rate. Shifting these two cents will not increase the overall tax rate; however, it will generate an

To Pasquale Luz it was a reminder of his mother and grandmother and aunt working "since I could remember" for the National Organization of Women.

When South Dakota put Hillary Clinton over the top to secure the Democratic nomination, Latino delegates at the Democratic National Convention had a front row seat to the watershed moment.

"When they finally called it and her name was up there - Hillary Clinton 2016 - I think that's the moment," Luz said. "It's history. It's historic. I still really can't believe that it's really happening."

The divisions and turmoil under which Democrats opened their convention were pushed to the background by the electrifying roll call vote through which delegates from across the country made Clinton the first major party nominee for president of the United States.

Thunderous cheers filled the arena and some could not hold back the emotions as they saw their party break from nearly a century of barring women from running the country. Clinton had tried to surmount that obstacle eight years ago but the country chose to first break down the color barrier to the White House.

"This has been 240 years overdue," said Tucker, 34.

"This is for every woman before me but especially for

Make an Informed Decision About the Lubbock ISD Tax Ratification Election (TRE) On August 30, 2016, Lubbock ISD will ask voters to decide whether the district can shift two cents from the Debt Service tax rate to the Maintenance and Operations tax rate. The LISD tax rate will remain at $1.235 – the same rate it has been for the last 10 years without extending the time for LISD to pay its existing debt. This shift will allow approximately $5.5 million to be added to the district’s operating budget by leveraging additional state funding. This new revenue will allow Lubbock ISD to maximize state resources and implement a pay-as-you-go model for instructional technology and high priority facility needs.

Please plan to attend one of the following Community Forums to learn more.

every woman after me."

A nursing student from Las Vegas, Tucker has worked on Clinton's campaign 15 years, using her spring breaks and other time off school to volunteer for her, including working the Arizona primary.

"My great grandma was born at a time … when it wasn't a thing … and I'm living at a time when I can not only vote, but I can vote a female into office? It's something I can't even explain the vibe was so thick in here," she said.

Luz said he too was choked up as he watched the moment he long had discussed with the women of his family - how Hillary Clinton was going to be president some day.

"Every time you hear the first something, being able to knock down these barriers, whether they are because of the gender, because of the race, this or that … it means so much because I know how many doors it opens to so many people," he said.

Nico Armesto, 28 of Boca Raton, Fla., said he'll need some healing time, before he can relish the historychanging moment. He had worked hard for Sanders, he said, and it was difficult to watch him cede the nomination to Clinton.

But he said "we will all turn the page and go forward

Majority of Latinos Reject VP Pick Pence's Immigration, LGBT

by STEPHEN A. NUÑO

olling numbers during the Republican P convention are still painting a bleak outlook for Donald Trump among Latinos.

The Latino Victory Project and Fusion sponsored a tracking poll of Latino sentiment following each day of the convention in an attempt to measure how Hispanics are responding to an event meant to unify the party and welcome voters in.

Instead, the tracking poll conducted by Latino Decisions shows a significant negative response to the Republicans and no movement in favorability for Trump among Latinos.

In the third tracking poll, the addition of Mike Pence as his running mate has not helped Trump expand his shrinking tent. When asked, 84 percent of Latinos said Pence's immigration record, which includes his sponsorship of a bill denying citizenship to children

born in the U.S. to undocumented parents and his congressional vote to block undocumented immigrants from accessing hospital care when he served in Congress makes them less likely to vote for Donald Trump in November.

Eight seven percent said they were less likely to vote for Pence due to his support for Indiana legislation allowing businesses to refuse to serve LGBT customers as well as prior opposition to federal legislation that would have made it illegal for employers to discriminate against LGBT employees.

The central message for the Trump campaign has been to "Make American Great Again," but the poll results show Latinos strongly disagree that Trump can do so, with 83 percent saying he has made the country more divided.

This has also had a negative impact on the image of the party, with 79 percent of Latinos polled saying that the GOP can be described as dangerous.

¿Se habla español?

More Jobs Requiring Spanish

t’s no secret that more and more Ispeaking employers are seeking Spanishemployees at home and

abroad—but why?

One reason is that the Hispanic population in the US is steadily climbing. The US Census Bureau reports that the Hispanic population is over 55 million (over 17% of the population) and rising. With a decent percentage of this population speaking Spanish as a primary (or at least favored) language, all areas of the economy need employees who speak both Spanish and English to engage and accommodate the changing demographics.

Additionally, international business is flourishing. Mexico is the USA’s third largest trade partner.

The US is the largest trade partner of many Spanish-speaking countries, including Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Colombia, Honduras and Panama.

Needless to say, all this leads to a great need for Spanish-language skills.

Searching for jobs that require Spanish is remarkably easy. With most job websites offering a search feature, all you need to do is search “jobs” or “trabajo” and a geographic location and you’ll have plenty of job options.

Indeed — Indeed is a particularly helpful resource because it gathers job postings from a variety of websites. It also saves your search information, so you won’t have to type in what you’re looking for each time you visit.

Career Builder — This popular job search website offers plenty of options and a convenient format.

Bilingual Jobs — Dedicated exclusively to jobs that seek bilingual candidates, the vast majority of listings on this website are seeking candidates who speak both Spanish and English.

household budget.

If you aren’t budgeting wisely, chances are that you have more debt than you’d like, and you’re not saving, or not saving enough.

Experts recommend thinking about your budget as a pie, with the first 10 percent automatically going to savings via transfers.

This is the one category that should not be negotiable but one that goes unfulfilled by 50 percent of American families.

Thirty-five percent of your budget should be carved away for housing – not just your rent or mortgage, but repairs, taxes, utilities, decorating and furnishing and insurance. Sticking to this guideline will prevent you from over borrowing, which got many in trouble during the housing crisis.

A quarter of that pie is for living expenses, a tricky category because it's the one where we most often spend too much money. That includes groceries, clothing, entertainment, gifts, childcare and health care.

About 15 percent will go toward transportation, which could include car payment, maintenance, gas, tolls and insurance. If you can reduce this amount by driving an old car rather than buying a new one, you can put that money toward saving or repaying credit card debts – and make a bigger dent.

The final 15 percent goes toward

other debt repayment. Here we’re talking about credit card debt and student loans. Student loan debt average close to $5,000 per U.S. adult.

Tips to meet that budget: Track your expenses Budgeting takes discipline. The first step is to keep track of what you spend. Keep a small notebook in your bag or back pocket, or download a smartphone app like Mint or Expensify (both free). Or collect receipts in your wallet and categorize them when you get home.

Cash over credit - You’ve heard it before, but it’s not a cliché: Use cash whenever possible. Studies show that people are more likely to focus on the cost of a product when they use cash, and therefore may be less likely to spend it than if they are using a debit or credit card.

Set up automatic savings - Have a wedding to attend next summer?

A big trip or college? Set up a separate savings account linked to your bank account and schedule money to be regularly transferred. A small amount every paycheck goes a long way over a year, or even six months.

Invest a little at a time - You can start investing with very little.

TDAmeritrade and ETrade will let you invest in an IRA with no minimum requirement -- you'll want to add to it every time you get paid or every month to see the money build.

You can start an AIP -- automatic investment plan -- at Ariel Funds for $50 a month and at Charles Schwab for $100 a month.

Digital Divide

Narrows for Latinos

by ANNA BROWN, GUSTAVO LÓPEZ AND MARK HUGO LOPEZ - PEW

he long-standing digital divide T in internet use between Latinos and whites is now at its narrowest

point since 2009 as immigrant Latinos and Spanish-dominant Latinos make big strides in going online, according to newly released results from Pew Research Center’s 2015 National Survey of Latinos. Meanwhile, broadband use among Latinos is little changed since 2010.

The story of technological adoption among Latinos has long been a unique one. While Latinos have lagged other groups in accessing the internet and having broadband at home, they have been among the most likely to own a smartphone, to live in a household without a landline phone where only a cellphone is available 1 and to access the internet from a mobile device.

S i n c e 2009, the share of Latino adults who report using the internet increased 20 percentage points, up from 64% then to 84% in 2015. Over the same period, internet use among whites grew too, though at a slower rate, moving from 80% to 89%. As a result, the gap in internet use between Latinos and whites declined from 16 percentage points in 2009 to 5 percentage points in 2015.

Big gains in internet use made by immigrant Hispanics and Spanishdominant Hispanics, two closely linked groups, 2 have been the main drivers in closing this gap.

Both groups have long had among the lowest internet use rates among Hispanics – and that is still the case today. Even so, between 2009 and 2015, the share of immigrant Hispanics who use the internet grew from 51% to 78%. And over the same period, the share of Spanishdominant Hispanics who use the in-

ternet about doubled, from 36% to 74%. As a result, the digital divide among Hispanics has also diminished.

As internet use has grown more common among Latinos, the demographic profile of Latino internet users has also changed and is now more representative of the Hispanic adult population. In 2015, immigrant Latinos made up about half (52%) of all adult Latino internet users, up from 44% in 2009. And Spanish-dominant Latinos made up 32% of all Latino internet users in 2015, up from 20% in 2009. In both cases, these shares closely match each group’s share among the adult Latino population overall. (Immigrant Latinos make up 49% of the adult Latino population, and those who are Spanish dominant make up 38% of Latino adults.)

Still, the 16% of Hispanics who do not access the internet remain largely foreign born (77%) and Spanish dominant (58%).

Meanwhile, the share of all Hispanic adults who access the internet through a home broadband connection is little changed since 2010.

Then, 45% said they accessed the internet through a broadband home connection. Today that share is 46%.

Among blacks too there was little change in the share of adults who have broadband access at home – 50% in 2010 and 55% in 2015. Over the same period, that share among whites grew from 64% to 73%.

The Latino survey also shows that among Latino adults, 80% access the internet from a mobile device, similar to the shares among whites (76%) and blacks (77%) in 2015.

More than 55 million Hispanics live in the U.S. today. The nation’s Hispanic population is also one of the country’s fastest growing groups. It is also among the nation’s youngest – nearly half are under the age of 18.

Create a (shelf) stable environment.

More than two-thirds of all kids say they want to eat healthy foods for lunch—but healthy doesn't have to mean perishable. If refrigeration is unavailable, consider substituting perishables with shelf-stable foods such as trail mix, granola bars, bagels, carrot and celery sticks, whole fruit, single-serve sugar-free applesauce, cans of tuna and peanut butter.

Stay cool for school. Perishable foods should not be left out of refrigeration for more than two hours—but according to a survey by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, four out of five kids say they don't have access to a refrigerator at school.

Help keep your child's lunch safe by packing it in an insulated lunch bag or lunch box, and including an ice pack or frozen beverage container.

Skip the shortcuts. Most parents (73 percent) prepare their child's lunch in the morning before school, which can make for an early morning time crunch! So be sure to avoid shortcuts that can lead to foodborne ill- Source: Kids Eat Right, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Immunize to return to school

Why are immunizations necessary? Immunizations are still a simple and effective way to protect children from serious diseases.

FLAWED INTERPRETATION Coalition Urges Rejection of

Mexican American Heritage Textbook

ast Monday, a group of activL ists and professors associated with the Responsible Ethnic Studies

FISHING FOR THE SOUL: Fishing is good for the soul. It's a portal to an appreciation of nature and an interest in conservation. That's why Los Hermanos Familia is proud to announce that it has teamed up with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USWS). They will provide 300 channel catfish 16 inches in length for the 8th Annual "Vamos a Pescar, Let's Go Fishing" event to be held at Buddy Holly Lake on Saturday, August 13th. The fish were raised at Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery in Oklahoma. Annually, Los Hermanos Familia stocks the lake to help replenish what is taken from the lake, as well as to give those fishing during the event, a better chance of catching.

DIGITAL IMPRINT

Textbook Coalition gathered at the Texas Education Agency to voice their concerns with a controversial proposed textbook called “Mexican American Heritage,” and urged the board to reject its adoption.

“Excessive errors render the proposed textbook useless and even cou nter productive,” said Emilio Zamora, a professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin who reviewed the textbook at the request of board member Ruben Cortez of Brownsville.

Professor Zamora identified an average of five to seven errors on each page he reviewed. He criticized the nature of the text, arguing that it does not honestly reflect on the experiences of Mexican-Americans, characterizes civil rights leaders as PROMOPROOF threatening radicals and does not cite professionalVKscholarship in the book's treatment of a rich and nuanced subject.

The State Board of Education will likely hold public hearings on the book September 13-16, and at the November 15-18 meetings in Austin. A final vote on adoption is scheduled for the

November meeting.. If the board approves “Mexican American Heritage,” and a school decides to offer an elective in Mexican-American studies, the school would not be limited to the irresponsibly ignorant and misleading textbook. School districts may select their own instructional materials as long as it aligns with the state's curriculum. Many smaller districts, however, use staterecommended materials.

Textbooks are relied upon as credible sources of information. It is up to the board to decide whether the state should endorse “Mexican American Heritage,” a fundamentally-flawed textbook that promotes offensive cultural stereotypes, distorts history and is plagued by factual errors; however, the Executive Committee of the Mexican American Legislative urges the State Board of Education to lay politics aside and make the right call, voting to reject “Mexican American Heritage,” because we know what MexicanAmerican heritage is not something to be reviled or afraid of, but a thing to cherish and to take pride in.

The Responsible Ethnic Studies Coalition is asking the public to consider signing a petition at http:// masfortexas.org

and you can remind yourself about them. Goals are the basis of success, to get what you want you need to set your mind towards it and accomplish it. Personally, I set my own goals for writing, art, homework, and life and I write these goals down all the time to remind myself to accomplish them. With goals you can achieve your most desired dream as long as you stick with it. Also goals help you to stay on top of things since they help you to accomplish more which means you get to do more. Goals are the basis of achieving your dreams so you need to set them.

They also considered whether Texas is starting college assessment too early, and if those tests should first be done in middle or high school as opposed to elementary school.

The list did not include a recommendation to eliminate the STAAR test altogether.

After School Child Care

uring middle childhood, youngD sters need supervision. A responsible adult should be available

to get them ready and off to school in the morning and watch over them after school until you return home from work.

Children approaching adolescence (11- and 12-year-olds) should not come home to an empty house in the afternoon unless they show unusual maturity for their age.

If alternate adult supervision is not

available, parents should make special efforts to supervise their children from a distance. Children should have a set time when they are expected to arrive at home and should check in with a neighbor or with a parent by telephone.

If you choose a commercial afterschool program, inquire about the training of the staff. There should be a high staff-to-child ratio, and the rooms and the playground should be safe.

Walking to School

Be realistic about your child's pedestrian skills. Because small children are impulsive and less cautious around traffic, carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to walk to school without adult supervision.

If your child is young or is walking to new school, walk with them the

first week to make sure they know the route and can do it safely.

Bright colored clothing will make your child more visible to drivers.

In neighborhoods with higher levels of traffic, consider starting a “walking school bus,” in which an adult accompanies a group of neighborhood children walking to school.

'Stand and Deliver' Stamp for Jaime Escalante is Unveiled

he Jaime Escalante commemT orative stamp was officially unveiled at the 87th conference of

the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) today in Washington, D.C. "This is a historic moment," said LULAC president Roger Rocha.

LAS GUADALUPANAS DE OLG: Some of the members of the Guadalupanas Escalante, a teacher in his native from Our Lady of Guadalupe Lubbock took their annual photo by Latino Lubbock Maga- Bolivia who arrived in the states zine! These special women are committed to serving their church community, and take in 1963, became known for uspride in their faith, love for God and community, and support for their sisters in Christ. ing innovative methods to teach inner-city students in East Los Angeles that some considered "unteachable," and many of whom went on to master calculus under his tutelage.

His story was the subject of the seminal 1988 movie "Stand and Deliver," which is one of the most viewed movies in U.S. film history.

Education Secretary John King, himself a product of inner-city schools, said Escalante is an inspiration to many.

"I am here today and I am alive today because teachers like Jaime Escalante believed in me. His

students had a different sense of what was possible for them because they had a teacher who believed in them. This (stamp) is a wonderful remembrance of him."

Actor Edward James Olmos, who portrayed Escalante in the movie, called the stamp unveiling and official issuance "a monumental moment," adding that it is exactly what the country needs at this moment.

"It gives us a sense of who we are, a sense of dignity, of fortitude. I don't know one president, one pope, one engineer, one sports giant, one astronaut, that could have done it without a teacher. If it wasn't for teachers, none of us would be where we are today. God bless Jaime Escalante and God bless the United States Postal Service."

The "forever" stamp is a digital illustration by artists Jason Seiler and Greg Breeding, designed to look like an oil painting and is based on a photograph of Escalante taken in 2005 at a

En Aquellos Dias…

C

uando nacieron tres de mis siete hermanos, el doctor de mi mama tenía su oficina en Lubbock. Todos íbamos en un carrito sin aire acondicionado o cinturón en los asientos. La oficina estaba en el centro de Lubbock por la calle Broadway. En aquellos días, no había Loop 289 ni I-27. La calle 34 todavía se estaba construyendo. No había South Plains Mall tampoco. Nada era difícil para traficar el pueblo.

Esos seis años los empalmábamos en el carro para “ir a ver el doctor”.

Cada año estaba un señor americano, ya grande de edad, sentado en una banquilla en seguido del edificio donde estaba la oficina del doctor. Él estaba siego y siempre tenía si perro que le ayudaba a caminar.

Siendo del rancho, nosotros nunca habíamos visto un siego mucho menos uno con un perro. Mi papa nos dijo que el señor veía con los ojos del perro, y nos creímos del. Al

tiempo nos dio valor preguntarle al señor que como era posible ver con los ojos del perro. Se reo y nos explicó todo. Cada vez que mi mama iba a ver el doctor, le llevábamos algo al perrito y el señor nos tenía dulces. Nos hicimos buenos amigos, pero un año ya no estuvo el señor. Mi papa pregunto por él y nos dimos cuenta que el señor vivía en el apartamento en seguida de la oficina y que se enfermó y se fue a vivir con una hija y había fallecido.

Haca unos cuantos años que mi mama estaba limpiando cajones y cajas y se halló un retrato del señor y su perrito. Nos pusimos a recordar de ese tiempo y no nos pudimos acordar del nombre del señor. Ya mis hermanos son papas y abuelos, pero me acuerdo de esos seis años y esos tiempos cuando todo era tan simple…pero estábamos muy contentos.

They urge families to make time to enjoy each other’s company, talk and be active together. And, they encourage their KOC members and their families to choose the Holy Family as their model of interdependence, sharing and respecting each other.

Memoriam/memorial

Jamie "Motivation" Lopez Asking for Public Support amie “Motivation” Lopez is J known for his inspiring others. Daily, he shares Bible verses, and words to uplift and change the lives of others through Facebook, and just by being an ex-

ample of having so much faith.

“There is a certain sense of anticipation in the air now, in the spirit realm. Be ready, prepare your mind & heart to respond to whatever happens with sincerity, clarity, class & great optimism. God has a miracle in the making for you. Something is about to turnaround. A situation is about to shift. A door is about to open. A new hope is arising.

Something good is gonna happen tonight! I feel it in my bones,” he shares on Facebook. Just one of the examples of his daily motivation.

While there are many awesome attributes to Jamie, most would agree that his tenacity is admirable.

You see, at the age of seven he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy, requiring to sit in a wheelchair and depend on a ventilator.

“I’m not able to breath on my own… it's been a difficult journey but I continue to fight this battle.

Thank God we don't look like what we’ve been through,” he joked.

He credited his mom Ernestine Lopez, for instilling in him to never give up, and not allow anyone to make him believe that he was not capable of achieving his goals. She further encouraged him to believe in himself.

“I owe her my life,” he said.

So after many complications with their 1988 Ford van that has surpassed over 400,000 miles, he knew he had to take on the challenge to secure a more reliable vehicle. For a young man unable to work, and physically not able to fix his unreliable vehicle, he prayed, and asked friends to support him on helping to raise funds to purchase a dependable vehicle that would get him to his doctor appointments, and daily trips of necessity including going to the grocery store, or church.

“No matter what your circumstances may look like - never give up! Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” he said profoundly.

With not even an ounce of discouragement, Jamie has lived up to that popular catch phrase demonstrating that he has an abundance of will, and has found many ways to hold fundraisers. He said that he has been blessed with support from family and friends who have believed in him, knowing first hand his health issues, and the important significance to purchase a new wheelchair-accessible van. His life depends on it.

He proudly shared about the fundraisers held including the BBQ fundraisers. And while the drive and sincerity of his supporters was larger, than the amounts raised, he was moved by the generosity and time each shared with him.

“I’m blessed beyond measure,” he said adding that he has hope, he knows that he still is far from the goal needed to secure a dependable, wheelchair accessible van.

As such, once again several supporters are organizing a benefit 4 Man Scramble golf tournament. Golfers are desperately needed. The cost is $65/Person, $260 a team. It will be held at Meadowbrook Golf Course, on August 20th at 8 a.m. Players ca call (806)787-1162 to register.

In addition to the tournament, another BBQ fundraiser will be held September 17th at A.S Dent Shop.

He added that a Go Fund Me account has also been setup at www. gofundme.com/jamievanfundraiser “It hasn't been easy, it takes lots of work, faith - but we’re reaching for our goal. Thank you abundantly, and blessings to you all,” he concluded.

temperature as high as it’s been, we cannot be sure that what we are seeing are real or figments of our imagination.

That’s the way I’m feeling right now as I realize that August is here and that in the distance we can see our fall sports beginning to materialize.

As some visuals are beginning to form, other images give us what we didn’t want to see a n d hopefully won’t.

I ’ m talking about the Rangers, which as of our last conversation were leading their division by a comfortable amount of games. Some of us (myself) considered them one of the best team in the whole league but things seem to be changing before our very eyes.

Now I know that as of deadline time they are still leading the American League West, but the Astros are poised to make a serious run for that lead, and they are tied with the Orioles record wise and Cleveland isn’t too far behind either. By now we all know that Prince Fielder is out for the rest of the season with his season-ending neck surgery, and Shin-

Soo Choo has landed on the 15 day disabled list.

As a direct result, Joey Gallo has been called up to play first base and to also add another left handed batting threat to the lineup.

They seem to be involved in almost every trading rumor there is out there and by deadline time, which is the first of this month, so they have added a few more arms to bolster their pitching staff. They added starter Lucas Harrell and reliever Dario Alvarez in a trade with Atlanta but they might not be totally done yet. Let’s hope they aren’t as they will face both Baltimore and Houston at the beginning of the month with all of those games being on the road and now isn’t the time to go in injury depleted or lacking batting power. We’ll find out pretty soon if what we are seeing is really factual or hopefully just a mirage.

One other item out on our horizon is the expansion of the Big 12 talk that seems to be starting again in earnest. Everyone has a different team in mind realistic or not, but we should not be surprised if Houston makes the second round of consideration since some Austin politicians have already announced their support. Hopefully the other team can add some strength and prestige

(money), which should automatically rule out the SMU’s, Memphis types of schools going forward.

Remember, that’s not a mirage we are seeing, the mirage is recognizing which two teams they will end up being. Yes, that means that football is here in its early stages as NFL training camps have already opened up and with the first pre-season game being televised this first Sunday.

I apologize to the non-football fans we have because this means football will be on television in one level or the other all the way until February of next year. Tech football is still a month away, but the preseason hype is already here.

It’s been discussed that the Big 12 is a quarterback rich league, but it’s my observation that Techs’ Patrick Mahomes is one of the top three heading into this season.

Insert the other two you have on your mind here, and odds are we won’t have an agreement as to who the other two are. Get ready because all those images we see in the distance are not only getting closer they’re also getting a whole lot clearer.
