Rio All Stars Play In Zapata
The Rio All-Stars Women's
Softball team participated in
a tournament in Zapata on
Saturday, August 12.
Coached by Javier Garcia,
Danny Vasquez, Raul Garza,
and Sabino Alvarez, the girls
outdid a team sponsored by a
Laredo Insurance Agency,
18-13.
The second game saw the
Rio softball team lose a close
one, 5-3, against the Blue
Jays. The third game,
played against the Mon-
temavor Expos, saw Rio lose
a heartbreaker. All in all, the
team placed fifth out of eight
teams.
The Rio All-Stars were
Hope Gutierrez, catcher;
Sookie Vera, pitcher; Maria
Imelda Rodriguez, first
base: Leticia Lopez, second
base; Bernice H. Warren,
shortstop; Yolanda T.
Alvarez, third base; Suzie
Chavez, right field; Irene
Gomez, center field; Thelma
Peria, rover; Alma Pena,
left field; and Norma M.
Garza, left field.
The girls played their
hearts out in the hot sun and
could have placed higher,
but they were playing
agaiast both younger and
more seasoned players.
Cheering the team on were
Dina Pena, Sharon
Dreumont, Debbie Cod-
dington, Carlos Vera, Roel
Garza, and various other
spectators from Rio.
The team returned home
late at night, having shown
outstanding hitting, amazing
shoe-string catches,
beautiful fielding, and
brilliant heads-up running
by all concerned.
Rio will definitely be a
powerhouse with which to
contend in the near future.
The women are all eager to
return to next year's softball
season, having experienced
what both Zapata and
Laredo have to offer.
The Rio All-Stars next
schedule tourney was to be
on August 19. Goodluck to
the girls as they keep
striving to reach that pin-
nacle of success which will
put Rio on the map in an
athletic capacity.

Guard against heat
exhaustion, heatstroke or
sunstroke during the hot
Texas summer, cautions
Yolanda Scrivner, County
Extension Agent.
The combined effects of
sun, exercise, heat and
excessive perspiration
which result in loss of fluids
and salts can produce a
serious condition, she warns.
HEAT EXHAUSTION
The body's normal
reaction to high tem-
peratures is to pool blood
near the surface of the skin
so that sweat is formed and
then evaporated into the air
releasing heat, the agent
explains.
Thsi can cause a lack of
sufficient blood in t the
vessels deep in the body if a
person is exposed to high
temperatures - especially
combined with a high
humidity-for a long period
ot time.
Some symptoms of heat
exhaustion include muscle
cramps and weakness, and
although the victim's
temperature may be near
normal, the pulse is of-
ten very weak. The skin is
usually cook but very pale
and moist.
Treatment consists of
getting person out of the sun
immediately. Slowly sipping
cool-not cold-water will
help to cool down the body,
she says.
SUNSTROKE, HEAT-
STROKE
Heatstroke, or sunstroke,
is more serious than heat
exhaustion. It's often a
medical emergency.
A breakdown of the cooling
system of the body which
causes the body temperature
to rise uncontrollably causes
heatstroke, she reports.
Because the sweating
mechanism is not working,
there is very little per-
spiration.
One symptm of heatstroke
is dry, red, hot skin and a
fast, strong pulse. The
victim may also be
nauseated and have a
headache. There is also a
possibility of the person
collasping, the agent points
out.
As in the case of h^at
exhaustiion, the important
thing is to get the victim out
of the sun and to lower the
temperature.
Sponge the person with
water, especially around
the head. Avoid giving the
victim stimulants such as
tea or coffee because of the
possibility of complications
such as increased blood
pressure.
If the person is un-
conscious, give no fluids at
all, she cautions.
To prevent sunstroke or
heatstroke, avoid being in
the sun and heat for a long
period of time, drink a
sufficient amount of liquids
and wear loose-fitting
clothing such as cotton T-
shirts which help to retain
perspiration and keep the
body cool.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
— Shipments of manufac-
tured goods from Argentina
have been steadily increasing,
reports the Ministry of Econo-
my.
Some 49 percent of the na-
tion's total exports for 1977
were manufactured products,
about evenly divided between
industrial and agricultural
items.

Special thoughts for August: "When you feel
someone has offended you, climb over to their side
of the fence. The exercise will do you good, and the
view will certainly be different." A list of five
basic ingredients for a wonderful life: "Good
health; friends and family nearby; a mailman to
keep you in touch with those you cherish who are
far away; a laugh every day; enough money to
live on without undue worry." P.S. "God has
provided us with a lifetime of moments. We must
provide the filling."
A sharp looking bunch of girls dressed alike in
jerseys and shorts were spotted at the mall in
McAUen. They turned out to be the San Isidro
Junior High School cheerleaders. Said they'd just
finished a great week at Pan American University
cheerleading camp. They were Missy Ramirez,
Lisa Farias, Marie Requenez, Jessie Laurel, Lisa
Lopez, Maria Elena Laurel, and mascot Nina
Montalvo. Their sponsor is Linda Flores.
Eights came up lucky for Mr. and Mrs. David
Carlos Laurel of Rio Grande City. They have a
brand new baby girl born on 8-8-78 at Ramirez-
Gonzalez Family Clinic. Lori Ann weighed 7 lbs.,
2v4 ozs. on her 3:10 a.m. arrival.
Eight is probably the favorite number of Mr.
and Mrs. Carlos Lopez, since 8:02 p.m. on 8-8-78.
Their son was born when the eights rolled up at the
Ramirez-Gonzalez Family Clinic. Trinidad Lopez
weighed 6 lbs., 5M: ozs. The family lives in Rio
Grande City.
Marine L-Cpl. Cipriano Garcia, Jr. of Rio
Grande City recently participated in exercise
"Varsity Cleanex" off the Southern California
coast. He is assigned to the 3d Battalion, Seventh
Marines, based at Camp Pendleton, Calif. A 1973
graduate of Rio Grande City High School, Garcia
joined the Marine Corps in May, 1975. He is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Cipriano Garcia of Rio Grande
City.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe B. "Pepe" Martinez and
family of Rio Grande City have been enjoying
guests. Mrs. Isabel Cruz and son Richard of
California have been visiting here. Also visiting
the Martinez family were Mrs. Clara Martinez
and son Charles from Baltimore, Maryland.
Congratulations are in order for Mr. and Mrs.
Alonzc Aguirre of Rio Grande City. They have a
brand new baby boy. Alonzo Jr. was born at 11:40
a.m. on Wednesday, August 9. He arrived at
Ramirez-Gonzalez Family Clinic weighing 7 lbs.,
12 ozs.
Our family had a fun visit last week from my
mother, Mrs. Ira Higginbotham from Kingsville,
and my cousin Liz Lucy and sons Church, Temmy,
and Rodney from Hawaii. They enjoyed a tour
across the river to Miguel Aleman, Mexico. The
boys enjoyed a horseback ride here, a change
from the surf boards and waves they ride at home.
It's a boy! Mr. and Mrs. David Horacio Garza
are the proud parents of a son. Dario Homar
Garza was born at Ramirez-Gonzalez Family
Clinic on Wednesday, August 9. He weighed 6 lbs.,
14Vi ozs. on his arrival at 12:44 p.m.
Texas Woman's University held its annual
Summer Commencement on Saturday, August 12,
awarding bachelor's, master's, and doctoral
degrees to more than 500 graduates. The list in-
cluded Maria del Socorro Guerra of Starr Route in
Rio Grande City, who was awarded a B.S. degree
in Home Economics Education. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonel Guerra.
It's a girl! Mr. and Mrs. Eduardo Rivas are the
proud parents of a baby girl. The daughter was
born on Friday, August 11. She made her grand
entrance at McAllen General Hospital. The Rivas
family makes their home in I,a Grulla.
Pvt. Roel Rivera, son of Mrs. Lydia Salinas
Rivera of Grulla, recently was assigned as a fire
support specialist with the 21st Field Artillery at
Fort Hood, Texas. He entered the Army in
February of this year.
Opinions. Everybody has their own. Most of the
children around town have mixed opinions and
feelings about the beginning of another school
year. Most of them say that they dread it, "I.«t
Summer last forever!" But those who will admit it
say they look forward to having their days filled
with activities and to seeing more of their friends.
Others say they don't look forward to studies and
homework but they're ready for pep rallies and
football games. So, it balances out. The school
year has its pluses and minuses just as the
Summer does. But ask the grownups their opinion.
They felt the same way about school starting,
when they were youngsters, but now many say,
"If I could go back (to younger years) I'd work
harder in school, I'd like it better and do better, I'd
plan my future and aim at it a little more direct-
ly." School is a means to an end, and the
more that ismadeof the means now, the more
successful is the end, so may school start with a
bang and find students and teachers all working
towards that successful end.
"One of the greatest pleasures is to do
something nice for a friend in secret, and have it
discovered by accident."
Roma-Los Saenz
Sales Decline
Roma-Los Saenz business
sector has apparently seen
less activity this summer
compared to last year at the
same time.
That community's share of
the local option, one per cent
sales tax, from the comp-
troller's office is $2,777.84
compared to $3,241.36 for the
same period last year.
Statewide it was a dif-
ferent story. State Comp-
troller Bob Bullock said
Texas cities netted a record
$236.4 million in sales tax
revenues during the 1978
fiscal year, a 14.8 per cent
increase over the previous
budget year.
The city sales tax is
collected by merchants
along with the state sales tax
and rebated monthly to the
cities in which it was
collected by the comp-
troller's office.
