By Kenneth Roberts, Freelance Writer The Rio Grande City Rattlers are eagerly preparing for the upcoming 2019 baseball season with high hopes and confidence that they will match and even improve upon the accomplishments of the previous two seasons, in which they reached the second round of the state playoffs. In 2018, the Rattlers finished in third place in District 31-5A with a 10-6 record.

Concerning the 2019 outlook, Cortinas emphasized, “Expectations are high this year as we return four on-the-field starters and two pitcher. I think this year’s team has the potential

to be as good a team as we’ve had in several years. We as coaches and the players have high expectations and are eager to start the season.

I definitely feel our team has the capabilities to win the district title.”

“We have a good mixture of veterans and talented youngsters, especially sophomores,” contended the coach. “I think we will have a solid overall team. We had four freshmen who played vital roles last year. These players are a year older, more mature, and more experienced.”

Cortinas pointed out that the 2019 Rattler team will have three seniors, one of whom is a four-

year letterman and the two others are three-year lettermen. He added, “We don’t expect to carry any freshmen. We have four juniors and seven sophomores.”

The Rattlers will launch the regular season at home against the Edinburg High Bobcats on Monday, Feb. 18. They will open district play on March 12 against the Mission Veterans Patriots on the road. The Rattlers’ district home opener is scheduled for March 14 against Mission Veterans. They will compete in preseason scrimmages on Feb. 2, 9, 12 and 15, with the final scrimmage coming at home against Weslaco East.

Upon selection to their school’s team, students re-read the books and discussed them to determine important details, themes and

interpretations of each book.

During the competition, student teams work together to respond to a variety of random questions about each book. All participants should be proud of the hard work they put into preparing for the competition!

The F.J. Scott Elementary School Team will go on to represent Roma ISD at the Region One Battle of the Books Competition in February.

Medicare Plays Big Role in Protecting Nursing Home Patients

By Bob Moos, Southwest regional public affairs officer for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services When you hear about Medicare, you probably think of the federal program that helps pay for older adults’ health care. What you may not realize is that another of Medicare’s major responsibilities is to inspect health care facilities to make sure that patients receive safe and high-quality care.

Among those facilities are the nation’s more than 15,000 nursing homes.

Nursing facilities wanting to get reimbursed for treating Medicare

patients must be certified as meeting certain health and safety requirements. The federal agency that oversees Medicare – the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services – works closely with the states to accomplish that.

Trained health professionals make unannounced visits to nursing homes to check whether the health and safety standards are being met and, if not met, to ensure the problems are addressed. An inspection is often the result of a complaint lodged by a patient or family member.

Nursing homes that don’t promptly correct their

shortcomings may be subject to fines. If the health and safety violations persist and pose a serious enough threat to patients, the facilities may be terminated from the Medicare program and forbidden to bill the government for patient care.

Unless and until a nursing home actually loses its Medicare funding, this regulatory process often goes unnoticed by the general public. But you can see how the nursing homes in your community have fared in recent health and safety inspections by visiting Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare website – at

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE COUNTY OF STARR, TEXAS CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 2019 TAKE NOTICE that the Commissioners Court (the Commissioners Court) of the County of Starr, Texas (the County), shall tentatively convene at 10 a.m. on the 11th day of March, 2019, at its regular meeting place in the Commissioners Court meeting room at 401 N. Britton Avenue, Rio Grande City, Texas 78582 and during such meeting, the Commissioners Court will consider the passage of an order authorizing the issuance of certificates of obligation in an amount not to exceed $500,000 (the “Certificates”) to purchase real estate located at 2235 North FM 755, City of Rio Grande City, Starr County and improvements thereon to be used for county offices that will be used for all county activities which Precinct 4 Commissioner is responsible for and the payment of costs of issuance of the Certificates. The Certificates will be payable from a combination of the County’s ad valorem tax within the limits authorized by law on all taxable property of the County, and a limited pledge (never to exceed $1,000) from the net revenues received by the County from the rates charged under the provisions of Chapter 361, Solid Waste Disposal Act (the “Act”) for services provided at the County’s solid waste transfer station. The pledge of the net revenues is subordinate to (a) payment by the County of all maintenance and operation expenses incurred in operation of the solid waste transfer station and (b) to any debt service incurred by the County in connection with any debt obligations, outstanding, now or in the future issued under the Act. The Certificates are to be issued, and this notice is given, under and pursuant to the provisions of the Certificates of Obligation Act of 1971, as amended, Local Government Code Section 271.041 through Section 271.063. `

www.medicare.gov/nhcompare.

Besides providing detailed information on inspections, the website reports on facilities’ staffing and such quality measures as whether residents are in pain or losing weight. The site uses a five-star rating system to help you understand the differences in the quality of care between nursing homes.

Families must often search for a nursing home for a spouse or parent at a moment’s notice, after some crisis or emergency. With little time to spare, many turn to Nursing Home Compare to begin their research. The website receives more than 1 million visits every year.

The website enjoys a solid reputation among consumers, having been revised over the years to make it even more trustworthy and user-friendly. You can search for facilities by city, county, state or ZIP code.

As helpful as those online comparisons are, Nursing Home

Compare isn’t meant to be the final word on the subject. It’s just one guide to use when looking for a nursing facility.

If you’re the one who’s been hospitalized, your physician, discharge planner or social worker can help identify an appropriate facility for your recovery.

If you’re the one assisting a spouse or parent about to enter a nursing facility, you also might: • Ask for recommendations from friends, family or neighbors who may have had a loved one in a nursing home.

• Call your state’s long-term care ombudsman to find out how many complaints have been filed against particular nursing homes, what kind of complaints they were and whether they were resolved.

In Texas, the ombudsman’s number is 1-800-252-2412.

• Visit the nursing homes that interest you. Make an appointment and think of the questions that are important to you. Nursing Home Compare contains a helpful

checklist of questions that covers everything from care and safety to activities and food.

When you or a family member become a patient in a nursing home, you have a right to expect the facility will comply with Medicare’s health and safety standards. The thousands of unannounced inspections done each year by federal and state surveyors put teeth in those standards and hold rule-breakers accountable.

This regulatory process aims to call out the poor performers and bring them back in compliance. It is a vital mission for Medicare.

For more tips on selecting a nursing home, visit the Nursing Home Compare website at www. medicare.gov/nhcompare or call Medicare’s 24-7 customer service line at 1-800-633-4227.

A free Medicare publication, a “Guide to Choosing a Nursing Home,” can also be downloaded from the website or requested by phone.

All other entries may register onsite at the end of South Britton Avenue, beginning at 9:00 a.m.

The fee of $30 per entry may be paid and an entry card for each vehicle obtained from Parade Chairman Tissa Peterson at the USPS mailbox on South Britton Avenue next to the Compass Drive-In Bank after the vehicle is in line. Park your vehicle, then send a representative.

The parade will once again proceed east on Main Street to historic Fort Ringgold.

The City of Rio Grande City and TXDOT are asking that no vehicles park on Main Street along the parade route so that emergency vehicles may come through if necessary. Parking is on the side streets and parallel streets north and south of Main.

The city of Rio Grande City asks that prizes and candy not be thrown from vehicles. If they are to be distributed, it should be done by persons walking, so children are not tempted to approach vehicles.
