Powerlifting program
gears up at Rio High
The powerlifting program at Rio
Grande City is gaining steam as an
organized sport as more athletes
line up to compete.
Coach Gary Hargens commented,
"Powerlifting is still new to many
of these kids. They're learning and
making good progress...I've got
close to 25 kids right now. These
kids arc lifting right now. Most of
these kids will be involved in
organized competition."
The team's first meet will be a'
Tuloso-Midway this Saturday. The
remainder of the tentative meet
schedule is as follows: Feb. 8-
Corpus Christi Carroll; Feb 15-
Lyford; Feb. 22 Rio Grande City;
March 7- Raymondvillc; March 7-
Goliad.
Hargens noted, "There are three
lifts; squat, bench, and dead lift.
There arc 10 weight classes. Each
individual will compcte based on
his weight category. The best lift of
all three lifts is determined in order
to figure out the winner."
Hargens said, "We're in Region
Five. A lifter has to make the Top
10 in his weight class to go to
regional. The top two at regional
will go to state."
There arc two divisions in
powerlifting in Texas, with
Classes 1-A, 2-A and 3-A being
grouped into one division, and
Classes 4-A and 5-A being grouped
in the other.
Hargens noted that Region Five
covers the region from New
Braunfcls southeastward to the
Goliad-Victoria area and all points
south. The coach said, "The state
meet is held at Texas A&M
University."
Members of the Red powerlifting
team arc Josue Presa, Noe
Gonzalez, D.J. Flores, Jake Margo,
Mark Gon/alcz, Chago Carreon,
Jose Rodriguez, Huber Trevino and
J.J. Gonzalez.
Members of the Blue

Alex Solis, Efren Morin, Jose
Garcia, Fliud Ramos, Sam Trevino,

Falcon.
Hargens expressed gratitude for
the support provided by the
Powerlifting Booster Club. Among
the individuals active in this
organization are Dr. Mike Davis,
Chuy Alvarez, Dr. Mario Jimenez,
and Balde Garza.
Financial aid and admissions
deadlines are just around the corner
for many colleges and technical
schools in Texas.
Educational Talent Search at the
University of Texas-Pan American
has coordinated with the help of
local high schools a series of
college and financial aid nights for
seniors and their parents to take
advantage of.
Representatives from colleges and
universities throughout the valley
and the state of Texas will be on
hand to answer questions about
their respective institution.
"The purpose of these
presentations is to give the families
the information they need to select
a college or technical school and
begin the process," said Sonia del
Angel, ETS director. "We also
want to make them aware of school
deadlines for financial aid and
admissions." "These presentations
are not financial aid workshops,"
cautioned del Angel. "We will not
actually fill out any applications at
this time."
The representatives will outline
campus based financial aid and
scholarships available at their
^respective schools, provide
relocate in this county.
"By allowing lax abatement,
which is allowed by the lav/, new
business will be attracted. It will
also create jobs and increase the
taxable value. The more taxable
value you have decreases the tax
rate. The end result is lower taxes
for everyone.
"Another major concern of great
importance is the need to
computerize the tax office.
Computerizing the tax office is
essential in this time and age. We
arc approaching the 21st Century,
and computers are of the utmost
importance. By computerizing the
tax office, long lines would be
eliminated. In addition, faster and
better service would be provided to
individuals who arc paying their
taxes or purchasing their license
plates."
Barrera concluded, "Several
people have voiced their concern
that even though they have paid
their taxes, they continue to receive
delinquent tax statements. I will
work hard to correct this issue as
well as other matters that need to be
addressed."
Barrera attended public schools in
the Rio Grande City Consolidated
Independent School District and
graduated from Rio Grande City
High School in 1965. After serving
two years in the U.S. Army, he
institutional deadlines and other
general information about their
school.
The format at every session is
identical. Each school
representative will repeat their
presentation several times
througout the evening. Parents and
seniors will have the opportunity to
learn about two or three different
schools in the same evening.
Parents will have the advantage of
speaking to school representatives
on a one-to-one basis.
Five different high schools will
host the programs. Participating
high schools and their clusters
include:
