See a full look at the schedule for the RGV’s teams at the bottom of the story.\nEDINBURG ECONOMEDES\nEdinburg Economedes’ 7-on-7 football team. (Ivan Palacios | RGVSports.com)\nThe Jaguars posted a 4-0 mark during the Mid-Valley Classic on Saturday at Bobby Lackey Stadium in Weslaco to secure the program’s first state 7-on-7 berth.\nEconomedes opened pool play at the state qualifying tournament with a dominant 20-6 win over PSJA Southwest before edging PSJA High 14-7 to take control of its path to the qualifying game.\nThe Jaguars needed some late-game heroics in their pool play finale against Harlingen South, scoring a late touchdown to rally past the Hawks 7-6 and punch their ticket to a matchup with McAllen Rowe.\nIn the championship game, Economedes took care of business against the Warriors, building a two-touchdown halftime lead and never looking back en route to a 21-14 victory to clinch a spot in College Station.\nThe Jaguars are set to compete in Division I at the state tournament, where they are slotted in Pool H alongside Coppell, Grand Oaks and Tyler Legacy.\n\nMERCEDES\nMercedes’ 7-on-7 football team. (Bryan Ramos | RGVSports)\nThe Mercedes Tigers narrowly missed out on a state berth during the Snake Pit Classic earlier this month, falling to PSJA North in the qualifying game.\nThe Tigers bounced back two weeks later at the Mid-Valley Classic at Bobby Lackey Stadium in Weslaco, edging Mission Veterans 28-27 to secure their third straight and 10th overall state tournament appearance.\nMercedes found itself in a two-touchdown hole early in the qualifying game before a late touchdown cut the deficit to seven heading into halftime.\nThe two teams traded blows in the second half, with the Patriots taking a 27-21 lead with 3:45 remaining.\nThe Tigers didn’t panic, marching methodically down the field behind the arm of quarterback Louie Rincon and tying the game with seconds remaining before converting the go-ahead one-point conversion moments later to punch their ticket to College Station.\nMercedes lands in Pool O of the Division I tournament alongside Austin Anderson, Arlington High and Cypress Ranch.\n\nPORT ISABEL\nPort Isabel’s 7-on-7 team. (Courtesy Photo)\nOffense typically highlights 7-on-7 competition, with most games ending in high-scoring affairs. For the Tarpons, however, it was the defense that stole the show during the Battle at the Bay, coming up with a stop on the final play of the state qualifying game to secure back-to-back appearances in College Station.\nThe Tarpons ran the table during pool play of the Division II SQT, going 3-0 with wins over Grulla, Santa Maria and La Feria to secure a spot in the qualifying game against Edcouch-Elsa.\nThe state qualifying game proved to be a tougher challenge, with the Tarpons and Yellow Jackets trading blows in a slugfest. The Tarpons’ defense proved to be the difference-maker, coming away with three interceptions, including a pick-6 by Jesus Ramos late in the game for what proved to be the go-ahead score.\nThe Tarpons open pool play Thursday morning, with Division II set to begin the tournament in College Station. They’ll take on Sweetwater, Hitchcock and Pilot Point in their pool. All four teams advance to the championship bracket in Division II, with seeding determined by pool-play records.\n\nPSJA NORTH\nPSJA North’s 7-on-7 football team. (Andrew Cordero | Special to RGVSports)\nThe Raiders have made trips to College Station the norm over the past five years, with PSJA North securing it’s fifth straight trip to the state 7-on-7 tournament during the Snake Pit Classic at Richard Thompson Stadium in Mission.\nPSJA North made it look easy during pool play of the SQT, allowing just one score during each of their three games. The Raiders finished pool play 3-0 with wins over McAllen Rowe (28-6), Mission Veterans (31-6) and La Joya Palmview (27-6).\nThe state qualifying game challenged the Raiders early, deadlocked 13-13 with Mercedes at the break.

Everywhere you went there were foreigners and Americans waiting to celebrate,” Cisneros said, agreeing that the atmosphere was electric.\nOn the night of President Donald Trump’s ballyhooed mixed martial arts fight on the South Lawn of the White House, it was raining terribly in College Park, so the group stayed home, Ledesma said.\nGetting back to the performance, Ledesma said the presentation started at the beginning of the Cold War, when the U.S. and Soviet Union were battling for dominance.\n“The Soviets essentially started the space race with Sputnik,” he said.\n“When the U.S. finally landed on the moon, I didn’t know that they combined resources with Apollo Soyuz mission,” he added.\n“That’s the thing that I found most surprising that they cooperated. … Because of the Apollo Soyuz mission, you now have the International Space Station. Artemis II just recently completed its orbit around the moon, which was, I believe, the first time since the original launch.”\nBrownsville ISD students recently traveled to College Park, Maryland to participate in the National History Day National Contest. (Courtesy: Brownsville ISD/Facebook)\nThe students also said participating in National History Day will help them pursue future goals.\nLedesma, who said his goal is to become president of the United States, said things he learned helping get the NHD project together will help.\n“How to get all of us to pursue one goal shows how much patience and I guess negotiating you have to do and I think that will definitely help me get to that goal,” he said.\nArriaga said she wants to become a biomedical engineer, something entirely different from history, but she thinks NHD will help.\nCastaneda said what she really wants to become is “a vet or a doctor, stuff like that. But I really appreciate history and learning about this topic.”\nFor his part, Cisneros said he can see himself becoming an actor. He’s been involved in theater since the sixth grade and is president of Rivera’s drama club.\nWith the exception of Ledesma, who will be a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin next year, everyone said they expect to be involved with National History Day next year.\nThe office of U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez welcomed Brownsville ISD students in Washington D.C. as they travel to College Park, Maryland to participate in the National History Day National Contest. (Courtesy: Congressman Vicente Gonzalez/Facebook)\nThat includes sponsor Oscar Yerena, who took on NHD this year for the first time and said he was glad he did.\n“At first I was hesitant because I’ve already got enough workload. Then it became part of my work. I didn’t mind it at all. It was fun. You get to see the kids work. You get to see them interact with each other and, you know, pointing out things they can do better and whatnot. It paid off.

Officers notified other law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout.\nLater that day, at 5:57 p.m., Moody was located by U.S. Marshals authorities in San Benito.\nHe ran to his truck and sped off once more as law enforcement attempted to block Moody in, but to no avail as he ignored all commands given to him and drove off the property after hitting a Ford Expedition occupied by marshals and a Ford pickup occupied by another officer.\n“Moody lost control of the vehicle and disabled his truck when he drove the truck into a ditch losing a tire,” one complaint said. “Moody attempted to drive off a second time, but the truck was inoperable.”\nMoody was instructed to climb out of his window and was subsequently handcuffed.\nAgents interviewed an eyewitness at the scene who was viewing CCTV while marshals spoke with Moody’s girlfriend.\n“While reviewing the cameras, Moody was quoted, ‘I’m going to go down there and shoot them,’” the complaint said.\nInside the Silverado, police found a “colt pattern carbine.”\nAccording to Brownsville spokesperson Abril Luna, Moody’s arrest warrant stemmed from an incident that occurred in the 400 block of Red Rose Street on June 10.\nMoody arrived at a residence where the acquaintance he was looking for no longer lived and demanded to know their whereabouts after displaying a firearm and threatening three people at the residence.\nMoody has now been charged with fleeing from a checkpoint and assault of a federal officer.\nHe made his first appearance before U.S. Magistrate Ignacio Torteya III on Tuesday afternoon and remains in custody.\nThe post Police chase ends with new charges for wanted Cameron County man appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/24/police-chase-ends-with-new-charges-for-wanted-cameron-county-man/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Xavier Alvarez","publishDate":"2026-06-25T00:08:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F08%2Fcrime-stock-002.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"police-chase-ends-with-new-charges-for-wanted-cameron-county-man"},{"id":"jqk4y9","title":"Harlingen airport board repairing $32M runway as director search enters ninth month","excerpt":"HARLINGEN — Valley International Airport’s new $32 million runway, described as the longest landing strip south of Austin, is projected to cost millions of dollars to repair damages caused by last year’s historic flooding.\nMeanwhile, the airport’s board of directors has begun interviewing candida...","content":"HARLINGEN — Valley International Airport’s new $32 million runway, described as the longest landing strip south of Austin, is projected to cost millions of dollars to repair damages caused by last year’s historic flooding.\nMeanwhile, the airport’s board of directors has begun interviewing candidates for the aviation director’s job as the search enters its ninth month.\nIn a meeting Tuesday, airport board members considered a federal grant proposal aimed at funding engineering tests to determine the runway’s core “weight bearing strength,” the agenda states.\n“This geotechnical work still needs to be done as soon as possible to measure the levels of natural aggravation incurred by the flood waters,” it states.\nRepair costs are estimated to about double the runway’s original construction costs.\nIn late March 2025, floodwaters engulfed much of the airport grounds for days, damaging the $32 million-grant funded runway that opened in June 2024.\nAs part of a nearly two-year project, officials tapped Federal Aviation Administration grants to expand the runway from 8,300 feet to 9,400 feet, turning the landing strip into what they described as the longest south of Austin and Houston.\nMeanwhile, the search for the airport’s next director marks the first time city officials have become involved in hiring for the position.\nDuring a closed-door meeting Tuesday, board members conducted a first round of interviews through zoom cameras after selecting candidates pooled through a search firm.\nIn February, board members hired ADK Consulting and Executive Search, a national firm specializing in recruiting within the aviation industry, after city officials offered to pay its $43,506 fee.\nThe interview process is part of the board’s second search for an airport director.\nA view of Valley International Airport’s entrance Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026, in Harlingen. (Miguel Roberts/The Brownsville Herald)\nLast October, the board launched its first search, a monthlong hunt which advertised the position with the American Association of Airport Executives, the nation’s largest organization of airport employees representing more than 875 airports and authorities.\nIn a heated meeting in November, the board voted 5-2 to appoint a candidate, with board members Ruben Pena and Dr. Martha Cano, Mayor Norma Sepulveda’s appointees, voting against the selection.\nDays later, Sepulveda questioned the airport board’s selection process, which McShan described as a “structured” and “merit-based” national search.\nThen in late December, city commissioners voted to extend the search, marking the first time the city became involved in the airport director’s hiring.\nSince the airport board was founded in 1950, board members hired the aviation director, based on the city charter, which aimed to keep politics out of the selection process, McShan said prior to stepping down as chairman in February.\nThen in a November 2024 election, residents overwhelmingly voted to amend the charter, giving the commission the authority to approve the board’s appointment for the director’s job.\nThe extended search continues amid one of the airport’s most turbulent periods in its history.\nMarv Esterly, former director of aviation at Valley International Airport, speaks during a news conference Wednesday, June 1, 2022, in Harlingen.

The total projected compensation for next school year is just over $179 million.\n(Courtesy: StockSnap from Pixabay)\nNearly 78% of district expenses are invested in employee salaries and benefits.\nThe investment into employees also included an increase to starting teacher pay to $58,300.\nThe board also discussed the proposed tax rate for next school year with a model that shows no increase and keeps it at $1.0025 per $100 of value.

Their innovations range from tech-based applications designed to expedite international business, to a medical therapy device. One entrepreneur has even designed a bakery just for pets.”\nEight of the innovators will be competing for actual cash prizes totaling $15,000, but organizers say the competition is about more than the prize money.

The Grizzlies have also won 19 Big Sky Conference Championships.\nIn the stands, Montana led the FCS in overall attendance for the third consecutive season in 2025 with 252,636 fans across six games for an average of 25,264, the second-best mark in the FCS and just above their stadium capacity of 25,217, making Montana one of eight teams to average over 100% of capacity (100.18%). If the Grizzlies were an FBS institution, their overall attendance would have ranked 58th, ahead of 10 Power 4 programs. UTRGV ranked right ahead of Montana in percentage of capacity, ranking sixth at 104.49% while welcoming 87,774 fans, the 11th-best in FCS, across seven games for an average of 12,539, which ranked 15th.\n“We are extremely excited to sign a home and home agreement with Montana as this gives us an opportunity to compete against one of the top premier programs in the nation. As our program matures, this will give UTRGV football an opportunity to measure the progress we’ve made. Not only will our fans enjoy traveling to Missoula, but this series also gives our fans a marquee national FCS matchup at Vackar Stadium to open the 2031 season,” UTRGV Senior Vice President and Director of Athletics Chasse Conque said. “Our aspiration is to build the same type of consistent national contender with incredible fan support as the University of Montana. Our program experienced a strong start in our inaugural season, and we look forward to continuing to grow before going head-to-head with the Griz in 2030 and 2031.”\nThe post UTRGV football announces home and home series vs. Montana appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/rgvsports/2026/06/24/utrgv-football-announces-home-and-home-series-vs-montana/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Staff Report","publishDate":"2026-06-24T17:18:21.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fresize-13.webp","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"utrgv-football-announces-home-and-home-series-vs-montana"},{"id":"63c3na","title":"Raymondville ISD police chief calls social media post false, investigation initiated","excerpt":"A story and photo posted on social media claiming a privately owned white Chevrolet Corvette was worked on in a Raymondville Independent School District maintenance shop posted on social media are a total fabrication, RISD Police Chief Oscar Gutierrez said last Friday.\nThe photo of the car was ap...","content":"A story and photo posted on social media claiming a privately owned white Chevrolet Corvette was worked on in a Raymondville Independent School District maintenance shop posted on social media are a total fabrication, RISD Police Chief Oscar Gutierrez said last Friday.\nThe photo of the car was apparently Photoshopped into a garage of some kind, but only part of the hydraulic lift shown in the photo can be seen, the rest is not visible, the police chief said.\nThe online article is topped with Josephat Lozano’s byline and the title “Independent Investigative Journalist.”\nSince an active investigation is under way, the chief said he cannot reveal more details.\nHe said the story and fake photo were likely created to harm the school district and the reputations of himself and the two top administrators.\nIn addition to being police chief, he is also in charge of vehicles, school buses, buildings and grounds maintenance as well as other responsibilities.\nAlso, he is chief of the Raymondville/Willacy County Volunteer Fire Department.\nHe said he resents an attack on his reputation by the implication he would allow improper use of school district resources.\nLozano, who uses the nickname “Hoss,” has worked as a teacher and as a Cameron County constable.

(Courtesy: Daniela Loera)\nChef Eugenio Uribe’s hamburger has been ranked 77th best on the planet in the inaugural World’s 101 Best Burger Places.\nThe executive chef for Le Rêve and Boqueron on Brownsville’s Market Square, Uribe said he didn’t even know Le Rêve had made the list, which came out May 28, until his brother-in-law sent him a text congratulating him.\n“Yeah, it was a really good Monday,” Uribe told The Brownsville Herald.\nThe first World’s 101 Best Burger Places list was put together by London-based Upper Cut Media House Ltd., the same company behind the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants ranking, which first appeared in 2018. The company said the new ranking builds on the “international reputation and editorial credibility” of the original one.\n“The ranking considers not only the burger itself, but also the full guest experience: product quality, patty, bun, fries, consistency, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, hospitality and the overall integrity of the concept,” according to the company.\nThe Best Burger Places list covers a wide spectrum “from highly focused burger specialists to restaurants and bars where the burger is treated with the same seriousness, attention and culinary discipline as any other signature dish,” the company said, adding that “the ranking aims to celebrate those places where craft, product, precision and hospitality come together at the highest level.”\nThe ranking relied on “steak/burger ambassadors” with decades of experience in various aspects of the food industry evaluating burgers on every continent, according to the company.\nUribe said he came up with the Le Rêve burger as he was putting together the first menu for the new restaurant, which opened in 2024 as part of Ramblas Hospitality Group.\n“I was, like, what is the most democratic dish that everybody likes? And obviously, it was burgers,” he said.\nHe developed the prototype while working for a restaurant in McAllen, though it’s undergone significant upgrades at Le Rêve, Uribe said.\nHe blends different cuts of meat for the patty, which incorporates dry-aged beef, grinding the meat himself and only using the freshest ingredients, which are flown in, he said.\n“I tried different cheeses and I was thinking of making a little bit more French-style burger, but I was like, no, you know what? Nothing melts as good as American cheese, and American cheese is pretty much made for burgers,” Uribe said.\nHead Chef Eugenio Uribe at Le Reve French-American Cuisine Restaurant in downtown Brownsville is a James Beard Foundation Award Finalist for Best Texas Chef. (Miguel Roberts/The Brownsville Herald)\nThe savory notes of the dry-aged beef are balanced by an onion marmalade simmered with sugar, vinegar and coffee; thinly sliced fermented onions with salt; and finally, charred onions.\n“So there’s a lot of layers in it,” Uribe said. “The pickles we make in-house. We pickle everything there and we have our own kind of pickling mix that I like to use.”\nTopping it all off is aioli, similar to mayo, made from bone marrow.\n“There’s a lot of things happening, but at the same time, the beef itself still shines through, you know?” Uribe said.\nThe burger is a permanent fixture of Le Rêve’s menu, which he tweaks seasonally.

(Denise Cathey/The Brownsville Herald)\nThe agreement is part of a project of Eneus Energy, a company that has proposed the development of a 1,780-acre data center just outside the Harlingen city limits near Valley International Airport.\nAs part of the agreement, the company would pay WaterWorks 75 cents per 1,000 gallons of effluent water, and $1.2 million a year if it averages more than about 4.7 million gallons per day at the end of a year, Roy Rodriguez, the agency’s interim general manager, said.\nMeanwhile, the agreement includes a clause under which WaterWorks would sell the company potable water if an effluent water supply was not available.\n“RGVPG wishes to purchase from WaterWorks and WaterWorks wishes to sell to RGVPG reclaimed water and, as a back-up, potable water in amounts sufficient to deliver at the applicable supply delivery point a reliable supply of up to the contract quantity of water on a reliable supply basis for the operation of the facility, subject to the terms of the agreement,” the agreement states. “Subject to the terms and provisions of this agreement, WaterWorks will supply potable water to RGVPG in an amount up to the contract quantity of water during the time that reclaimed water is not available.”\nUnder the agreement, WaterWorks would sell potable water at the same rate the agency sells water to businesses within the city limits.\n“The rates charged by WaterWorks for any potable water supplied to RGVPG to supplement the lack or shortage of will be the current applicable commodity charge for inside-city-limits commercial accounts as adopted by the governing body of the city for all users, multiplied by the actual quantity of potable water taken,” the agreement states.\nIn a Sept. 22 meeting, WaterWorks’ board of directors met in closed session with its attorney to discuss “the RGVPG data center reclaimed water agreement,” the meeting’s minutes state.\nBased on Rodriguez’s recommendation, board members voted 6-0 to approve the agreement to provide RGV Property LLC with “a supply of effluent water as described in the contract,” the meeting’s minutes state.\nDuring an interview, Rodriguez said the agreement would provide the company with about 4.7 million gallons of effluent water a day, adding WaterWorks discharges about 5.5 million gallons a day into the Arroyo Colorado while using some water to irrigate city parks.\nRoel “Roy” Rodriguez\n“The odds are almost zero,” WaterWorks would sell potable water to the company, Rodriguez said in an interview Monday.\n“We’ve always got wastewater,” he said. “Wastewater is very, very consistent. We don’t want to sell them potable water and they don’t want to buy potable water. It’s too expensive — probably triple. We don’t want to sell potable water for that purpose.”\nIn a January interview, Rodriguez said the RGV Property Group wasn’t going to use potable water.\n“They’re not going to use drinking water — we are aligned with the thought we’ve got to take care of our precious amount of water,” Rodriguez said at the time. “It is effluent water that comes out of the wastewater plant and dumped into the Arroyo Colorado.”\nDuring a June 17 city commission meeting’s public comment period, residents Luis and Angela Valdespino referred to the agreement’s clause regarding WaterWorks sale of potable water.\nThe next day, City Manager Gabriel Gonzalez emailed commissioners the agreement.\n“I want thank Luis and Angela Valespino for informing the city council that we’ve been lied to by WaterWorks and others,” Commissioner Michael Mezmar said Tuesday in an interview, adding he found out about the agreement’s clause regarding the sale of potable water after Gonzalez’s emailed the agreement.\n“It is right to use effluent wastewater,” he said. “It is wrong to use our potable water for the data center.”\nMeanwhile, Commissioner Frank Morales said he recently found out about the agreement’s clause regarding the sale of potable water after he requested officials give him a copy of the agreement.\nLike WaterWorks Chairman Michael Garza, Mayor Norma Sepulveda, who serves on the WaterWorks’ board as a non-voting member, did not respond to messages requesting comment.\nThe Harlingen City Commission is seen Wednesday, May 20, 2026, during a regular meeting at City Hall.

(Miguel Roberts/The Brownsville Herald)\nThe BRT option would allow for low and multi-door boarding for passengers, dedicated transit lanes and would have traffic signal priority, Salazar said.\nIn its study, Brownsville identified a 6.8-mile corridor from La Plaza Terminal through International Boulevard to the Port of Brownsville that could be used for future rapid bus lanes.\n“Along that corridor would be existing trail lines that would be pedestrian friendly,” Garcia stated.\nShe said that the corridor would allow for transit oriented commercial and housing development.\nSalazar said that the study was 90% funded through the North American Development Bank and the rest by the city. He noted that implementation costs could range from $60 million to $272 million depending on whether the city wanted to have mixed flow or dedicated bus lanes.\nIf implemented, a BRT service is projected to increase ridership to about 35,000 riders per year, said Garcia, citing consultant analysis.\nA woman looks at a Brownsville Metro directory map Monday, Oct. 24, 2017, at La Plaza at Brownsville Multimodal Terminal. (Miguel Roberts/The Brownsville Herald)\n“This is a very futuristic plan,” said City Commissioner At-Large “A” Tino Villareal, adding that funding these systems now would depend on private and public partnerships as well as how many taxpayer dollars are going toward the project.\n“I believe as a commission to keep our tax … the way it is and … not increase it at all for our taxpayers but I do see the benefit in this,” he continued.\nB Metro also shared in a presentation a second “microtransit” study conducted that would allow passengers to request rides online, through an app or phone call if implemented. This $300,000 study was funded by the Federal Transit Administration to reach “underserved areas,” Garcia said.\nB Metro is already implementing a sort of microservice in its Route 30 Uber zone in the southeast area of the city, Garcia stated, noting that the study would change the transit network to be more cost efficient, reach more people and be more reliable.\nThe post Brownsville Metro studies expansion of public transit network appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/23/brownsville-metro-studies-expansion-of-public-transit-network/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Montserrat Pagan","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:11:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F06%2F2021-06-02_Bus_1.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"brownsville-metro-studies-expansion-of-public-transit-network"},{"id":"vac2zp","title":"Brownsville’s La Clandestina declares presence with music, food, and mystery","excerpt":"BROWNSVILLE — Octopus?

Ceviche? \nNo, I’ve had more than my share of both as of late. So my eyes continue to roam across the menu at La Clandestina Brasa Argentina. \nLet’s see. I could start off with something in “starters,” which I believe is the house name for “appetizers.” \nThese starters are enough for small meals. The tacos de rib eye runs for $25 as does the taco de milanesa de res. I could choose the tacos de filete de res or the crema de tomate rostizado. \nThe plato de chorizos Argentinos is pictured along with sides of bread and tortillas on Friday, June 19, 2026, at La Clandestina Brasa Argentina in Brownsville. (Travis M. Whitehead | Valley Morning Star)\nThe plato de chorizos Argentinos intrigues me. I have always known chorizo as a Mexican dish, but here at La Clandestina I have a chance to sample chorizo from Argentina. \nI decide now to try some Argentinian chorizo and I will order it as my appetizer. I explore the rest of the menu and notice a pasta section. The pasta Alfredo in the pasta section appeals to me. \nI remember the last time I had fettuccine Alfredo was in Celaya in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. It was a rather strange experience as I had looked everywhere for any kind of restaurant or café where I could eat and the only thing I found was a place serving fettuccine Alfredo. It was very good and I would like to have that again here at La Clandestina. \nI order the chorizos Argentinos and the fettuccine Alfredo and now take in my surroundings. \nA plate of fettuccine Alfredo is pictured Friday, June 19, 2026, at La Clandestina Brasa Argentina in Brownsville. (Travis M. Whitehead | Valley Morning Star)\nThe moment I walked into La Clandestina at 2370 Frontage Road at Sunrise Mall I was met with loud music. It caught me for a moment because I am not in the mood for loud music even though it is Friday night. I considered leaving but decided to stay and took a table against the far wall.\nThe music soon grabs my attention because the music is not being pumped through an amplifier but is in fact a young man and a young woman dancing and singing to a grateful evening crowd. \nThey perform music which I do not usually hear in the Valley. The rhythms and the dancing and the percussion are fresh and new, and I think it is music from South America. I ask a waiter where the music comes from and he says it is Mexican music from the central and southern parts of the country. \nA friend of mine later suggests it is reggaeton and later the duo performs a piece that is unquestionably Selena so there is great variety which I like very much. \nSomething else I appreciate is that the young man with the microphone moves about the restaurant and he is singing and dancing and swaying with arms swaying. The diners are quickly drawn into the spirit, and they raise their arms and sway back and forth and then a man stands up and dances to the music and even sings along with the performer. \nI am somewhat confused by the restaurant’s name. La Clandestina? I know this word to mean undercover and Merriam-Webster says it implies secrecy, usually for an evil, illicit, or unauthorized purpose and often emphasizes the fear of being discovered. \nA plate of fettuccine Alfredo is pictured Friday, June 19, 2026, at La Clandestina Brasa Argentina in Brownsville. (Travis M. Whitehead | Valley Morning Star)\nBut La Clandestina is not evil or illicit and it is certainly not afraid of being discovered. The music loudly declares La Clandestina’s presence. I wonder if it is a slang term in Spanish. I explore online this word’s definition in Spanish and it is most similar to the English, and I find no reference to slang. \nHowever, in both languages the word “secret” appears several times. Perhaps the meaning in this case for “La Clandestina” implies something seductively mysterious, something to intrigue the interest, something beckoning into illusive pleasure. \nThere is certainly pleasure in this restaurant, and the food and the music and the atmosphere are most intriguing and seductive. \nThe waiter brings me garlic bread and then my chorizo. It is certainly a different chorizo in a hot plate and it sizzles and the steam rises. I give it a few minutes and then cut pieces and nibble so that it does not burn my tongue. It is indeed different in taste, and it is quite good. \nA few minutes later my fettuccine Alfredo arrives and it is in a huge bowl and I know I will take home a box of food tonight.\nTwo-toned corn tortillas are pictured Friday, June 19, 2026, at La Clandestina Brasa Argentina in Brownsville. (Travis M. Whitehead | Valley Morning Star)\nSomething else, something unexpected and rather mysterious arrives on my table. Corn tortillas with one side yellow and the other purple or perhaps a deep blue. OK, I don’t recall ever seeing this. I have seen blue corn tortillas in Uruapan, Mexico but I have not seen two-toned corn tortillas with one side blue and the other yellow. \nHow did the cooks do that? \nIt’s a mystery. \nThe post Brownsville’s La Clandestina declares presence with music, food, and mystery appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/alerts-vms/2026/06/23/brownsvilles-la-clandestina-declares-presence-with-music-food-and-mystery/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Travis M.

He added that he worried that the 2 p.m. kickoff time for the opening world cup game might not draw fans out but the inside of El Nopalito was packed with a sea of Mexican green.\n“We built this club to celebrate the Rio Grande Valley,” Fayyad said. “If you come to a Red Crowns game, we celebrate local businesses, local restaurants, local breweries, people doing really cool stuff. And we thought when we watched the World Cup, let’s just keep that same model going.”\nFayyad and the club were highlighted in a nationally broadcast campaign aired during World Cup matches.\n“I come from a multicultural household,” he said. “My dad’s Middle Eastern, Palestinian, my mom’s Mexican, and so soccer, football was a shared language in the household. … We’re so divided a lot of times with politics, social media, high schools, colleges. It’s awesome to see us united every once in a while.

Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, whose computer chips are driving the rapid growth of AI, says the new technology will actually create new jobs.\nThey’re both right.\nThrough AI, computers increasingly are able to “learn” from existing data and develop new information and processes. It’s raised concerns in the creative arts, where people fear computer-generated content will eliminate the need for people to write scripts, songs and other material. Some characters already have appeared on film and video streaming services that aren’t human, but computer creations.\nIn the manufacturing world, AI increasingly can do work currently done by engineers, analyzing existing processes and developing improvements or new ones. Advancement in robotics enables machines to perform tasks that people traditionally have done.\nHuang sought to calm public fears last week at the groundbreaking of a new manufacturing plant in Sherman, Texas, that will build lasers to help AI systems work together and improve their work even further.\nCoherent, the semiconductor and optical material maker that is building the Sherman plant, says that in addition to the construction jobs to build the facility, it will create about 1,000 new manufacturing, engineering and technical jobs.\nIf history is any indication, chances are that even more jobs will be created in the future.\nInnovation, automation and other technological advances have always raised concerns about lost jobs, and many of those losses have occurred. The movement toward self-service in retail business, from gas stations to fast-food restaurants to checkout lines at stores, is just one obvious example. All those attendants, cashiers and other workers just aren’t there anymore — they had to find other jobs.\nMore than likely, however, they did.\nJensen Huang, second from left, president and CEO of Nvidia, stands with Jim Anderson, CEO of Coherent, second from right, during a groundbreaking ceremony for an expansion of Coherent’s manufacturing facility as Adriana Cruz, left, executive director of the Texas economic development and tourism office, and Sherman mayor Shawn Teamann, right, stand by, Tuesday, June 16, 2026, in Sherman, Texas. (Jeffrey McWhorter/AP Photo)\nAs economies expand, new jobs are created. Often they require new skills and people have to learn them, but they usually are better, and better paying, than the jobs they replaced.\nMore importantly, the overall benefits of the new technology usually outweigh the inconvenience of individual workers having to learn new skills to find new employment. For example, development of the automobile put a lot of blacksmiths out of work. However, more than a few of them might have built new, better careers as auto mechanics.\nAnd we’re sure that most people prefer the convenience and mobility that cars provide over horses. Tractors have enabled farmers to increase harvests immensely, providing more food at lower prices than the days when mules, oxen and other draft animals pulled their plows.\nThere is no question that technological advances have improved our lives, beginning with improving our economy. To be sure, some growing pains often are inevitable, including the loss of jobs that depended on the old technology, and some workers have had to learn new skills in order to find new employment.\nRather than fear inevitable progress, we should accept it, and be willing to adapt with it. Most likely, that progress will make our lives better.\nThe post Editorial: Yes, new technology does eliminate jobs, but it creates new ones appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/alerts-brh/2026/06/23/editorial-yes-new-technology-does-eliminate-jobs-but-it-creates-new-ones/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"AIM Media Texas Editorial Board","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:00:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FAP26167774310340.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"editorial-yes-new-technology-does-eliminate-jobs-but-it-creates-new-ones"},{"id":"7w26s2","title":"Serving Cameron County: Transforming Lives Through Bariatric Surgery","excerpt":"By: Dr. Angela Lomas, DHR Health Bariatric Surgeon\n4770 N.

Those that struggle with excess weight may have a hard time fitting into cooler clothes or prevent them from doing fun activities. Perhaps time after time the phrase “Beach Bod Ready” has come to mind and prompted you to start a new diet or exercise program only to be disappointed with the results. Well, what if there was an option to be “beach bod ready” all year long?\nWhat is Bariatric Surgery?\nBariatric is the study of obesity and with the tools of surgery, modern day medicine has combat obesity for life long success. Bariatric Surgery has been around for decades and is a research proven way to lose and maintain significant weight loss to lead to a healthier lifestyle. The two most popular surgeries are a Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass. Both have great results showing excess weight loss of at least 60%. The Gastric Bypass has even more beneficial health outcomes in regards to putting type II diabetes and high blood pressure in remission, meaning levels become normal and no longer need medication.\nIs Bariatric Surgery a “quick fix?”\nMany associate weight loss surgery as a “quick fix” or an “easy way out” to be thinner. That stigma couldn’t be farther from the truth and one the medical community is striving to debunk. The majority of diet and exercise trends are just that, trends that fade away and do not provide sustainable results.\nPatients undergoing weight loss surgery are starting on a journey to becoming healthier and taking back their lives. Surgery is only one tool in a broader long term-lifestyle plan that includes behavioral modification, dietary changes, physical activity, and a supportive environment. That is why at DHR Health, patients work closely with a multidisciplinary team—including an endocrinologist, a bariatrician, a psychiatrist, a nurse practitioner, a dietitian, and an exercise physiologist—to ensure they are well informed, prepared for surgery, and feel fully supported as they adapt to a healthier lifestyle. All of these tools together are how weight loss surgery provides lifelong results.\nStart the summer off right with being more physically active, hydrating throughout the day, and incorporating healthier food options. Surround yourself with supportive people to help stay motivated on your healthy lifestyle. We encourage you to take the next step on your weight loss journey and join us for one of our free weight loss seminars to learn more and to see if you qualify.\nAbout Dr. Angela Lomas, DHR Health Brownsville Bariatric Surgeon\nA native Texan, Dr. Lomas is passionate about the field of Bariatric Surgery, a surgical procedure that helps people with obesity lose weight and improve related health issues.

One of the state’s top throwers during her career with the Eagles, Woods set a state record in the discus in 1994 with a throw of 160 feet, 6 inches, a mark that stood for 15 years. The 1994 graduate went on to capture state gold that season and finished her career as a two-time district champion and regional champion in the discus, while also qualifying for state in the shot put.\nFormer Mission High track athlete Anyssa Olivarez Woods speaks with guests duing the Rio Grande Valley Sports Hall of Fame 38th annual induction ceremony at the Misson Events Center on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Mission. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nAnother former Mission High standout honored Saturday was Dr. Sonia Trevino, who joined Olivarez Woods as part of the 2026 class.\nA 1986 graduate, Trevino starred in volleyball at Mission High before reaching the highest level of the sport at Florida State, where she helped the Seminoles reach two NCAA Tournament appearances during her two-year stint.\nRounding out the group of former RGV athletes on the list were former Edinburg High football standout Robert Mangum and McAllen High baseball star Toby Nivens.\nAfter serving as a standout offensive lineman at Edinburg High, which included a spot on the District 14-4A South Zone team as a senior, Mangum went on to carve out a decorated career at Texas Christian University, becoming a starter on both sides of the ball by his sophomore year as a guard and linebacker.\nThe football standout capped his career by earning first-team All-Southwest Conference honors in 1962 and second-team All-Southwest Conference honors in 1963, while also being one of four guards/linebackers in the nation invited to play in the 1963 East-West Shrine Game.\nMeanwhile, Nivens made a name for himself on a different playing field, serving as an ace on the mound for McAllen High in the mid-1980s.\nFollowing a standout career with the Bulldogs, Nivens went on to spend time at San Jacinto North Junior College before a nine-year professional baseball career with the Minnesota Twins, New York Mets and Texas Rangers.\nThree coaches also earned nods in this year’s class, with all three still active today.\nWeslco High track coach Pablo Almaguer spaeks with guests during the Rio Grande Valley Sports Hall of Fame 38th annual induction ceremony at the Misson Events Center on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Mission. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nWeslaco High girls cross country and track and field head coach Pablo Almaguer, McAllen High girls soccer head coach Patrick Arney and McAllen Memorial golf head coach Celso Gonzales all joined this year’s Hall of Fame class.\nAlmaguer was a standout track and field athlete at the University of Texas-Pan American before a car accident in 1998 left him paralyzed.\nThe injury opened the door for what has become an illustrious coaching career, spending the past 24 years guiding athletes at his alma mater. Almaguer’s teams have won 16 district titles and 11 area championships during his tenure, while also adding two regional runner-up finishes and eight state meet appearances.\nMeanwhile, Gonzales has spent more than 35 years coaching McAllen Memorial’s boys and girls golf teams. The longtime head coach has helped his players win 21 district championships through this season, two regional titles and make 11 state appearances, including a fourth-place team finish at this year’s Class 5A state tournament.\nAdditionally, Gonzales has served as a basketball official for 38 years, while also being the voice for McAllen ISD’s home football games for three decades.\nArney rounds out this year’s coaches honored during the Hall of Fame ceremony, with the Minnesota native among the best to do it on the pitch.\nThe longtime girls soccer coach has spent 30 seasons at McAllen High, winning nearly 650 games during that span.

(Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nThe final member of the 2026 Hall of Fame class is former PSJA High football player and Brownsville St. Joseph and Brownsville Rivera head coach Joe Pena.\nPrior to his 36-year coaching career, Pena attended PSJA High, where he was part of the 1963 state runner-up squad under head coach Charlie Williams.\nFollowing his playing career, Pena spent 18 years as head football coach and athletic director at Brownsville St. Joseph, where he guided the Bloodhounds to Texas Christian Interscholastic League state championships in 1977 and 1980, while also making state semifinal appearances in 1979 and 1984.

Dial 2-1-1 to reach a local referral specialist — free, 24 hours a day — who can point you to nearby pantries, meal sites, and benefit offices. United Way's 211 network fielded about 19 million requests for help in 2025. You can also text your ZIP code to 898-211. The USDA's National Hunger Hotline does the same at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479), or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) in Spanish.\n\nIf you'd rather look yourself, search by your ZIP code or city at feedam.org — then call the listing to confirm hours before you go.\n\nWhere to get free food today in McAllen:\n\n— Food pantries hand out groceries: canned and boxed staples, fresh produce, dairy, sometimes meat, occasionally baby formula and diapers.\n— Soup kitchens and community meal sites serve hot, ready-to-eat meals, often with no questions asked.\n— Free and reduced-price school meals feed kids during the school year; summer meal sites and Summer EBT (SunBucks) help cover the gap when school is out.\n— SNAP and WIC offices help you apply for monthly grocery benefits, and many people who qualify never sign up.\n— Community health centers and senior nutrition programs round out the map for older adults and families juggling food and medical bills.\n\nAll of the above are in the Feed America directory at feedam.org. Search by ZIP code, filter by service, and call the listing before you go.\n\nHow many people are in the same spot? More than most people guess. The USDA estimates that 13.7% of U.S. households — about 18.3 million households, or 47.9 million people, including 7.3 million children — were food insecure at some point in 2024 (USDA Economic Research Service). It may be the last figure like it for a while: USDA announced in September 2025 that it was ending the long-running survey behind the report.\n\nThe safety net is tightening at the same time. SNAP, what many still call food stamps, helped an average of 41.7 million people a month in fiscal year 2024 — roughly 1 in 8 U.S. residents (USDA). Under Public Law 119-21, signed in July 2025, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the law's nutrition provisions will cut federal SNAP spending by roughly $187 billion over ten years — about one-sixth of the program — and that expanded work requirements will reduce SNAP enrollment by about 2.4 million people in a typical month (Congressional Research Service). That's why searches like \"food stamps office near me\" and \"free groceries near me\" keep climbing.\n\nCall before you go — listings go stale fast. When researchers visited 50 listed food pantries in the Bronx for a 2019 study in the Journal of Community Health, only half were open as expected (Ginsburg et al.). Hours change, sites move, and online listings lag behind. A five-minute phone call can save you a wasted afternoon and a tank of gas — which is exactly why a directory is only as good as how current it's kept. The Feed America directory at feedam.org shows the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nWhat Feed America is, and how to be sure who you're supporting. Feed America is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 92-1761881), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the United States — 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing, across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. Pantries, soup kitchens, school and summer meal sites, WIC offices, community health centers, senior nutrition programs, and retailers that accept SNAP — all searchable by ZIP code or city, in English or Spanish, with no account and no fee, at feedam.org.\n\nBeyond the directory, Feed America puts food directly into the community — stocking neighborhood food-pantry drop boxes with groceries and household basics, and providing snacks for children's reading and enrichment programs at neighborhood libraries.\n\nFeed America is an independent organization and is distinct from other charities with similar names. To be certain which one you're supporting, confirm the IRS registration — EIN 92-1761881 — on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov. Feed America's profile is also on Candid, Charity Navigator, and ProPublica.\n\nFrequently asked questions.\n\nQ: Where can I get free food today in McAllen?\nA: Visit feedam.org and search by your ZIP code or city. The Feed America directory lists 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — including pantries, soup kitchens, meal sites, and SNAP/WIC offices — across all 50 states, DC, and US territories. You can also dial 2-1-1 (or text your ZIP to 898-211), or call the National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-HUNGRY anytime for a free 24/7 referral.\n\nQ: What's the difference between a food bank and a food pantry?\nA: A food bank is a large warehouse that collects and stores food in bulk and supplies smaller agencies. A food pantry is the local site where families actually pick up groceries. Most people in need visit a pantry, which a food bank stocks behind the scenes.\n\nQ: Do you have to qualify to use a food pantry?\nA: Usually not. Most pantries serve anyone in need and often ask for no ID, no proof of income, and no appointment. When in doubt, call first and ask what to bring.\n\nQ: I'm a senior — can I still get help?\nA: Very likely. An estimated 16 million adults 50 and older who qualified for SNAP weren't enrolled in 2022 — 59% of those eligible in that age group (AARP Public Policy Institute and Mathematica, 2025). If you assumed you wouldn't qualify, it's worth another look. Feed America's directory at feedam.org also lists senior nutrition programs.\n\nQ: How do I check that a food pantry is open right now?\nA: Call before you go. Listed hours are frequently outdated — one study found only half of listed pantries were open as posted. Feedam.org gives you the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nQ: How do I know my donation is reaching the organization I intend?\nA: Check the EIN. Every U.S. charity has a unique one, and it's the reliable way to tell similarly named organizations apart. Feed America's is 92-1761881 — look it up on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov before you give.\n\nIf you're able to help, you can support that work at feedam.org/donate. Donations to Feed America (EIN 92-1761881) — an independent 501(c)(3), distinct from other charities with similar names — are tax-deductible; confirm the EIN on IRS.gov before you give.\n\nAnd if you're reading this because you need food right now in McAllen, skip the donation and go straight to the search: visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code or city to find pantries, free meals, and benefit offices near you — then call ahead to confirm hours.\n\nBottom line: Feed America's directory at feedam.org is the fastest single tool for finding food assistance near you. Search 567,859+ verified resources by ZIP. Free. No account. Call the listing to confirm hours.","url":"https://feedam.org/","source":"Feed America","author":"Editorial Team","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:51:26.443Z","category":"Local Services","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnexcom-webflow-publisher.emperormew.workers.dev%2Fimg%2Ffeedam%2Ffind-free-food-hero.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"featured":true,"imageAlt":"A volunteer drops off bags of groceries at a community food pantry donation box; a child colors a thank-you sign at a neighborhood library."},{"id":"xnmow6","title":"Oklahoma rolls past Tar Heels 13-2 for 1st national championship since 1994 and SEC's 7th in a row","excerpt":"OMAHA, Neb.

It’s a day worth celebrating — now more than ever, as positive trends are being reported regarding fatherhood.\nU.S. Census Bureau data indicate that more American children are growing up with the influence of a father figure at home. While almost twice as many children live with a single mother compared to 1968, the percentages began leveling off in 2011 and have risen slightly since then. According to the bureau, more than 70% of all U.S. children now live with two parents.\nThe importance of having a father has been reported for decades. Pediatricians say the presence of a father is critical to a child’s cognitive development and emotional well-being. Fathers set and enforce rules of behavior that become lifelong habits. Children grow up with a stronger sense of security and confidence.\nFathers also set examples regarding responsibility and work ethic, and personal relationships with the children’s siblings, mother and others. Researchers say daughters tend to seek partners based on the qualities they see in their fathers, while sons model their own behavior on that of their fathers; if a father is nurturing and supportive, those qualities likely will be perpetuated in subsequent generations.\nConversely, children who grew up without a male presence have higher rates of emotional and behavioral problems that manifest themselves in higher crime rates, poor school performance, teen pregnancy, alcohol and drug abuse and suicide.\nReports indicate that 71% if all high-school dropouts, 90% of homeless and runaway children and 63% of youth suicides were among children who had no father presence in the home. Those who did have fathers were 80% less likely to spend time in jail and twice as likely to attend college.\nAlso, fathers’ roles are changing, for the better. They are taking on more tasks that once were primarily mothers’ duties, such as involvement with teachers, attendance and participation in social, sports and other activities, homework assistance, etc. In addition, the Census Bureau reports that about half of all fathers today take time off from work after the birth, almost triple the percentage of 1994 and earlier. Moreover, nearly a quarter-million households had stay-at-home dads, and one out of five single parents living with their children are fathers.\nPsychologists report that as fathers take on more nurturing roles and are more involved in their children’s daily activities, the children have shown general improvement in language skills, social skills and peer relationships.\nMany people over the years have stated that simply having a father at home can help address many of society’s ills including reducing crime, violence and incarceration rates. Increasingly, data show that such comments aren’t as exaggerated as some people might think. A father helps shape children’s character not only through direct guidance, but also indirectly by proving an example of how to behave, accept responsibility and interact with others.\nIt’s comforting to see that more fathers are committed to their children. Their children — and our society in general — is better for it.\nThe post Editorial: Today, more children are benefiting from fathers’ positive influence appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/alerts-brh/2026/06/21/editorial-today-more-children-are-benefiting-from-fathers-positive-influence/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"AIM Media Texas Editorial Board","publishDate":"2026-06-21T11:00:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F03%2FN2304P17007H-scaled.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"editorial-today-more-children-are-benefiting-from-fathers-positive-influence"},{"id":"dkugx2","title":"Mercedes wins battle against Mission Veterans, advances to state","excerpt":"Bryan Ramos | Staff Writer\nWESLACO — When the pools were revealed for Saturday’s Mid-Valley 7on7 State Qualifying Tournament in Weslaco, the Mercedes Tigers and Mission Veterans Patriots appeared on a collision course on the Weslaco East side of the bracket.\nBoth the Tigers and Patriots showed st...","content":"Bryan Ramos | Staff Writer\nWESLACO — When the pools were revealed for Saturday’s Mid-Valley 7on7 State Qualifying Tournament in Weslaco, the Mercedes Tigers and Mission Veterans Patriots appeared on a collision course on the Weslaco East side of the bracket.\nBoth the Tigers and Patriots showed strong in pool play, and in the state qualifying round, went down to the wire with a ticket to College Station on the line.\nMission Veterans receiver makes a grab during the Mid-Valley 7on7 State Qualifying Tournament at Weslaco East High School on Saturday, June 20, 2026.

The past two years, however, the Jaguars have been on the rise, making back-to-back postseason appearances, including setting a program record for wins last season.\nThe Jaguars began the summer with another milestone Saturday, securing their first state 7-on-7 tournament berth after going 4-0 during the Mid-Valley Classic at Bobby Lackey Stadium in Weslaco, capped by a 21-14 win over McAllen Rowe in the state-qualifying game.\nEdinburg Economedes’ Jaime Eguia (11), right, congratulates Felix Reyes (4) after a touchdown against McAllen Rowe in a 7 on 7 football championship game on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Weslaco. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\n“We have a lot of expectations for ourselves,” Economedes quarterback John Carreon said. “People ain’t going to count us out anymore, but we know what comes with that. We’ve been putting in a lot of hard work and just having faith in our abilities that we’ve been blessed with. We’re just trusting that and trusting in each other. It’s just a big brotherhood out there.”\nThe Jaguars opened the day with a convincing 20-6 win over PSJA Southwest, setting up a marquee matchup against PSJA High in their second pool-play game. The Bears entered that matchup 2-0 with wins over the Javelinas (14-12) and Harlingen South (21-7).\nEconomedes took care of business in the showdown with PSJA High, coming away with a 14-7 win over the Bears, capped by a game-sealing interception by Carreon, who also played safety during the tournament. Carreon also threw a pair of touchdown passes to Felix Reyes in the victory.\nEdinburg Economedes quarterback John Carreon (3) passes the ball against McAllen Rowe in a 7 on 7 football championship game on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Weslaco. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\n“I wanted to do whatever it takes for my team to win, man,” Carreon said. “Whether that’s putting my body on the line or going all out for my team. I knew we had to get a spark going on defense, so I knew this tournament was going to be doing whatever it takes.”\nAfter back-to-back wins during pool play, the Jaguars needed just a win over Harlingen South in their final game to secure a spot in the championship game. Economedes made it happen once again, scoring the go-ahead touchdown late in the second half, while the defense kept the Hawks out of the end zone to secure a 7-6 win and a clash with McAllen Rowe for the state-qualifying berth.\nEconomedes carried that momentum into the championship game, jumping out to a 14-0 halftime lead over McAllen Rowe behind a pair of touchdown passes from Carreon. The Warriors battled back to make it a one-score game in the second half, but the Carreon-led Jaguars answered again, with the senior hitting Reyes for a 29-yard touchdown to push the lead to 21-7 and put the game out of reach. The touchdown marked the pair’s second connection of the game.\nMcAllen Rowe continued to battle until the final whistle, adding a touchdown as time expired to make it 21-14. The Warriors finished 2-2 on the day, picking up wins over Edinburg Vela and San Benito while falling to Sharyland High and Economedes.\nEdinburg Economedes’ Felix Reyes (4) carries the ball against McAllen Rowe in a 7 on 7 football championship game on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Weslaco. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\n“We had a lot of ups and downs,” Carreon said. “It was wishy-washy. These rain delays kept coming. We were getting cold, but we stayed strong and believed in each other and trusted in God. He gave us this opportunity. We knew we were going to come back for a reason. Those delays kept coming and we were almost second-guessing ourselves. We just knew we needed to strap down. We’ve done it in the season. We’ve faced adversity so many times. We just had to do it one more time.”\nThe Jaguars now turn their attention to their first state 7-on-7 appearance in program history, joining Mercedes, PSJA North and Weslaco High in the Division I bracket for the Rio Grande Valley. Port Isabel is also set to represent the Valley at the state tournament, competing in the Division II bracket.\nThe state 7-on-7 brackets are scheduled to be unveiled at 5 p.m. Sunday. The tournament is set for June 25-27 at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex in College Station.\n“People know our names now,” Carreon said. “We’re not under the radar anymore.

It would go on to debut in Billboard Magazine and be featured in a top 20 worldwide chart. \nBy June 1993, the song was essentially inescapable as it aired on every Hispanic radio station (it would also go on to beat Tejano superstars Selena y Los Dinos and Emilio Navaira for Best Song, Record and Tejano Crossover Song of the Year at the Tejano Music Awards the following year). \n\nThough “La Charanga” was also popular in various places outside the Valley, including Latin America, our region was particularly bewitched by the deliciously catchy song. \nPSJA North High School’s baseball team chose the song as their victory song, clubs were hosting “La Charanga” dance contests, people across the Valley were requesting an array of merchandise sporting the song title and popular local entertainer Wally Gonzales released a comedic version of it.\nEven my 60-year-old mother recalls how popular and inescapable the song was then, especially at parties like bodas (weddings) and quinceañeras; she also reminded me that covers of the song were performed by the bandas that played at my older sister and I’s respective quinceañeras. \n“I don’t know what it is about this song, but people are going crazy over it,” Oscar Muñoz, brother of Fandango’s drummer Balde Muñoz, told The Monitor in 1993. “‘La Charanga’ has created a frenzy among children 2-years-old to those in their 90s.”\nThe original cutline for this photo as it appeared in The Monitor’s March 21, 1994 edition: “Keeping The Beat: Balde Muñoz, drummer for Fandango U.S.A., keeps the rhythm going during a recent concert at the Villa Real Convention Center in McAllen.” (Carlos Moreno | The Monitor archives)\nTake a trip down Valley history and learn how “La Charanga” came to be, the meaning behind it and the success that followed through the accounts of Fandango U.S.A.’s band members in this story featuring from The Monitor’s June 20, 1993 edition (and also enjoy an additional story featuring Wally Gonzales’ account on his version of the song):\n‘La Charanga’ Everybody’s doing it – from kids to seniors\nBy Vilma Maldonado | The Monitor (June 20, 1993)\nThe song is a mix of merengue, cumbia, with a pinch of Tejano and spicy enough to make anyone dance. \n“La Charanga” by Fandango U.S.A. is sweeping Latin America, and now the Rio Grande Valley, off its feet with its sticky easy-to-dance, salsa-dipped beat. \nThe song was released last year, but it didn’t kick in until after Christmas. These days almost every Hispanic radio station airs “La Charanga” constantly, including B104-FM. \n“I don’t know what it is about this song, but people are going crazy over it,” Oscar Muñoz said, brother of Fandango’s drummer Balde Muñoz. “‘La Charanga’ has created a frenzy among children 2-years-old to those in their 90s.”\nSo what does charanga mean? \n“Charanga means merengue, a music rhythm, but in Cuba it describes a band,” said Hugo Guerrero, lead vocalist of Fandango. \nAccording to the Spanish/English dictionary Pequeño Larousse Hustrado, charanga is a military orchestra which only uses metal instruments (guitars). However, in Mexico, Peru and Costa Rica, charanga is a baile familiar. \n“Charange is a free for all type of song,” Balde Muñoz said. “People get on stage with us and start dancing like crazy. Different clubs are even having ‘La Charanga’ dance contests and people love it.” \nOscar Muñoz said Pharr-San Juan-Alamo North High School’s baseball team also picked “La Charanga” as their victory song. \nAfter seven years as Fandango U.S.A. and several hits, the band got a hit with “La Charanga” and its cross-over potential needed to make it in Mexico and other Latin American countries. \n“For the past 25 years I have been in the music business, and I have never seen or heard such heavy rotation of a Spanish song as I have with ‘La Charanga,’” Muñoz said. “This song has taken us into California where you seldom, if ever, hear Tejano music played on the radio.” \n“La Charanga” debuted on Billboard magazine recently and was in the Top 20 worldwide. \n“La Charanga’s” popularity is so phenomenal Freddie Records of Corpus Christi recently released “La Charanga” on a 45 single for Mexico because they still use these types of promotional records. \nThe original cutline for this photo as it appeared in The Monitor’s June 20, 1993 edition: “Hot Stuff: ‘La Charanga’ logos are sprouting up an all kinds of merchandising material in the Valley including Mickey and Minnie Mouse wooden statues.” (Delcia Lopez | The Monitor archives)\nPeople across the Valley are requesting caps and Disney’s Mickey and Minnie Mouse wooden statues with balloons which read “La Charanga” on them. There are also T-shirts bearing the song’s name. So, Fandango U.S.A. plans to come out with “La Charanga” merchandise. \n“I used to play ‘La Charanga’ in 1980 with Sergio y San Cecilia of Laredo, but it was different,” Guerrero said. “This time around, I rearranged the song and added a sort of rap sound and a different introduction to it.”\nWell, the song has not only stuck to Guerrero, but even Campanas de America Mariachi of San Antonio plays their version of “La Charanga.” \n“It was weird to hear my piano arrangements replaced by violins,” said Guerrero, who also plays keyboards and music arranger. \nGuerrero said singing “La Charanga”  isn’t as demanding on his voice and windpipe as it may sound because it’s “a fun song, so I never get tired of singing it.” \nAs one of the newcomers to Fandango U.S.A., guitarist Ted Rackley never imagined he could get into the tejano rhythms and sounds as he has, but all it took was listening to “La Charanga.” \n“When I first heard the song I cracked up; because I thought it was a Cheech and Chong song on the radio,” Rackley said. “It’s an uptempo song.

(The Monitor archives)\nWally Gonzales releases comic version of hit song\nBy Vilma Maldonado | The Monitor (June 20, 1993)\nMcALLEN — Everybody’s “Charangueando” including long-time local entertainer Wally Gonzales, who recently released his funny version of “La Charanga” on Mestizo Records of Edinburg. \nIn his song “La Charanga,” Gonzales said he changed the introduction and some of the lyrics, and towards the end he changed el trava lenguas (tongue tied lyrics). \nHis version goes something like this: \n“Pero mira, mira, mira que esa vieja no se casa, cabeza de calabaza y cuando anda con Maria compra mucha loteria dice que sabe bailar nos tiene que demostrar, quiero verla charangear, charangan, gan, gan, gan, gan, chiringin, gin, gin, gin, cuiri, cuiri, cuiri, cui cuiri cui cui cui….”\n“Charanga is a rhythm which Fandango made popular,” Gonzales said. “This song is an international hit and I congratulate Fandango U.S.A. for doing the song the way they did it.”\nGonzales, 53, is best known as El Chaparro De Oro, El Kojak del Valley and the comic of La Onda, for his funny compositions. \nThe original cutline for this photo as it appeared in The Monitor’s June 20, 1993 edition: “Charanga Time: Wally Gonzales, kneeling, and his son Lalo perform their own version of the hit song ‘La Charanga.'” (Carlos Moreno | The Monitor archives)\nGonzales has been in La Onda professionally for 30 years and has recorded 15 albums and has composed 50 hilarious songs. \n“I decided to do my comic version of ‘La Charanga’ to try to ride the wave of success next to my friends too and see what that will bring us; because we have to stick together and help each other out,” he said.\nAs if that weren’t enough, Gonzales loves “La Charanga” so much he went as far as painting his touring equipment trailer to say Charanga Time in bright colors. \n“Everybody is charangueano, even in the kitchen,” Gonzales laughed. “One morning while I was playing over and over ‘La Charanga’ to learn the lyrics and music to the song, my wife was in the cocina making breakfast and she finally yelled at me, “orale, vente a almorzar, vas a almorzar charanga?’ and she was mad.”\nThe post From the archives: ‘Everybody’s doing it’: The song that took the Valley by storm appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/alerts-vms/2026/06/20/from-the-archives-everybodys-doing-it-the-song-that-took-the-valley-by-storm/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Emily D'Gyves","publishDate":"2026-06-20T12:00:11.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F110894_The-Monitor-Fandango-U.S.A._01.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"from-the-archives-everybodys-doing-it-the-song-that-took-the-valley-by-storm"},{"id":"8mdh9k","title":"Klowning around: Valley skateboarders building a community like nowhere else","excerpt":"Anthony Cuellar skates at the Harlingen Skate Park Thursday, June 18, 2026.

(Miguel Roberts | The Brownsville Herald)\nAcross the Rio Grande Valley, skateboarders are forming a unique community. Between tricks and competitions, they’re uncovering lifelong friendships, moments of mentorship, and a sense of belonging like nowhere else.\nOne local skate group is taking it to another level.\nFly Klown University will be at the South Padre Island Skatepark this Go Skateboarding Day, on Sunday, June 21, from 3 to 8 p.m. A few days later, they’ll be helping out with Sage Touch Inc’s Level Up Block party on June 27 at 318 W. Jackson Ave. in Harlingen, in honor of the 2026 graduating class.\nFly Klown University started out as a dream in 2007, explains founder Anthony “Anton Q” Cuellar, while he was in the Army on a 15 month deployment in Iraq. Amidst a never-ending heat and disconnecting feelings of isolation, he found solace on a half pipe he constructed by hand with discarded material. He mail-ordered a board and found himself shredding away his war blues.\nAlex “Thrash Goon” De La Garza skates at the Harlingen Skate Park Thursday, June 18, 2026. (Miguel Roberts | The Brownsville Herald)\nAll the while, he came up with a plan: Finish his contract, come home, use his GI Bill for school, and start a skate shop.\nIt took a few years, but he got it done.\nIn 2024, as Cuellar stepped into the role of fatherhood raising two young sons, the news began to disturb him, he says. He observed Valley youth putting themselves in harm’s way, from doing and selling drugs to drinking and driving and other dangerous activities. He couldn’t help thinking “What if they had something else to do?”\n“It made it my mission to give the youth something productive to do,” he recounted.\nThe “Klownz” from Fly Klown University talk about their skateboards Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the Harlingen Skate Park. (Miguel Roberts | The Brownsville Herald)\nFly Klown University started with Cuellar passing out a few decks he designed. From there, with some help from his friends, they started collaborating with other skate crews on events and eventually began hosting their own. Since the beginning, he estimates he’s given away over 30 boards for free to Valley skaters and hosted eight competitions.\n“We just started dominating skate competitions as a crew,” he said looking back at the beginning.\nHe believes the passion of the local youth is what makes the Valley’s skate culture unique. Bonded by camaraderie, they take on each challenge as they come, together. Sharing tips and teaching each other tricks, they know there’s a hand that will pick them up whenever they fall.\n“It’s amazing to see,” said Cuellar. “They come to all of our events and we get to witness them progressing. I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else I’ve skated.”\nAlex “Thrash Goon” De La Garza skates at the Harlingen Skate Park Thursday, June 18, 2026. (Miguel Roberts | The Brownsville Herald)\nHe thinks the Valley’s isolation from the rest of the world is what has influenced the special bond between skateboarders here. There’s nowhere else like the Valley — Cuellar calls it to the “Bermuda Triangle of Texas.”\n“Together, here, we just build unity,” he said.\nHe calls skateboarding “the perfect meditation.” It builds on the philosophy of living in the present moment, while also offering an escape from the realities of the world, he says. Between each skateboarder and their board exists a personal joy — one Valley skaters embrace together.\nSkateboarding brings out life’s warriors, says Cuellar. To be a skateboarder, you must not fear falling and you’ve always got to get back up. Everyday, the “Klowns” of Fly Klown University go out and put everything on the line, working through personal battles on the pavement and serving as role models for the outcasts of the younger generations.\nAnthony Cuellar skates at the Harlingen Skate Park Thursday, June 18, 2026. (Miguel Roberts | The Brownsville Herald)\n“When we see each other falling, and getting back up, and pushing our limits and still taking the hits — it builds that respect for one another,” said Cuellar. “That builds a community together because we all go through it and push through the struggles.”\nAt every Fly Klown Event, two Klowns in particular are always lending a hand to the younger skaters, Alex “Thrashgoon” De La Garza and Austin Luna. With tips and pointers, they provide the new generation with pieces to the puzzle, advancing their skill sets, and giving them a sense of belonging.\n“That’s what it’s all about,” said Cuellar. “Sharing these little tidbits of knowledge to help them get to the next level.”\nWhen an older skater helps a younger skater work through a new trick, they learn more than just a new way to impress their friends. They see that someone else has been there before and pushed through the same obstacle, Cuellar says. It shows them that it can be done.\nAll this unfolds within sacred grounds for skateboarders – the skate park. A quality park can mean all the difference, says Cuellar. The better the park, the more of an opportunity skateboarders have to expand their abilities and live up to their full potential.\n“If we were to look at examples like Nyjah Huston or Ben Margera, those guys grew up around amazing skateparks,” said Cuellar. “They were able to hone their craft, like a wet stone sharpens a sword.”\nOutside the parks, society has some misconceptions about skateboarders, Cuellar observes. They’re not lazy, unintellectual, or criminals, he says, and the way hardworking Valley skaters have built so much from essentially nothing disproves those stereotypes.\nFly Klown University, for example, started with no backing — just the phone in Cuellar’s pocket and the change in his couch cushions.\n“People are building everything from the ground up,” he said.\nHe explained that his crew’s name represents the idea of learning with the world as their academia. They believe in studying ancient philosophies, physics, discipline, persistence and patience — tools a skater must embody for every trick they learn.\nHe compares Fly Klown University to a “skateboarding sanctuary,” believing the sort of safe space they have built for the outcasts and black sheep of the Valley is essential for a skater to compete well and evolve while doing it.\n“To train, learn and grow with a positive skateboarding community is what we at Fly Klown University are all about,” said Cuellar. “Bringing the community together, making sure we eat, shred, and chill. That’s our purpose, one step at a time.”\nThe post Klowning around: Valley skateboarders building a community like nowhere else appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/19/klowning-around-valley-skateboarders-building-a-community-like-nowhere-else/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Alexandrea Bailey","publishDate":"2026-06-19T21:09:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F136619483_web1_DSCF9078_Photo1Final-.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"klowning-around-valley-skateboarders-building-a-community-like-nowhere-else"},{"id":"r52wpu","title":"Freeing verse: McAllen Poet Laureate liberates poetry through napkin challenge","excerpt":"Gabriel Sanchez has been selected as McAllen’s poet laureate, celebrated for giving voice to border communities and his unwavering commitment to preserving cultural narratives at Speer Library Friday, May 1, 2026 in Mission.

(Delcia Lopez | dlopez@themonitor.com)\n“The power of art when it is accessible is huge,” McAllen’s Poet Laureate Gabriel Sanchez exclaimed. “It has the power to make you stop.”\nSanchez is challenging the people of McAllen. The rules are simple. Find a napkin, write a poem, and leave it somewhere public for the next person to find.\nThe Poetry Napkin Challenge kicked off earlier this month. Already, it is inspiring and connecting people unexpectedly across the city and breaking them out of routine with the power of verse.\n“How many times in a day, or in a week, in a month, or even in a year do you experience poetry?” Sanchez asked. “I want to make it highly visible — because that’s where it deserves to be.”\nA poetry napkin written by Edward Vidaurre. (Courtesy)\nEssentially, Sanchez’s mission behind this project is making poetry accessible. He says there’re many art forms you can’t escape in day-to-day life — visual arts, music — it’s everywhere, regardless if you’re looking for it or not.\nBut poetry is different. It is often confined to literary spaces, libraries, classrooms, books, and people have to look for it with intention. Even Sanchez, a lifelong poet, still has to seek out poetry. It’s not readily available but he wants to change that.\nVerse by verse, Sanchez is setting poetry free across McAllen with an ordinary, often-discarded, object. Napkins serve as the challenge’s unexpected medium, hidden throughout the city, waiting to be uncovered.\nHe’s essentially smuggling poetry into the everyday with napkins as his Trojan horse.\nA poetry napkin written by David Lopez. (Courtesy)\n“It’s been trapped,” Sanchez said. “I want to liberate it.”\nWith poetry hidden on life’s dusty shelves people miss out on something huge, Sanchez has observed.\n“They miss out on their own ability to express the poetry of their life,” he said.\nHe says that everyday someone is alive, they are creating poetry. Throughout their lives, they accumulate volumes and volumes of it. The purpose of the challenge is to unveil it. Poetry may be hard to find at times, but on the other hand, Sanchez says it is already everywhere. People are just blind to it, but in his eyes, everyone is a poet by birth.\nA poetry napkin written by Fernando Esteban Flores. (Courtesy)\n“Everybody is writing poetry everyday,” said Sanchez. “It’s just that they don’t put it down on paper, but they should.”\nHe believes that when people share the poetry within them, it fosters new understanding and connections.\nAssuming his role as poet laureate of McAllen has powerfully changed the way Sanchez looks at his responsibility to the community. He says it’s been a positive change he wasn’t expecting. At first, he considered it as a title, but now, he sees that it’s a mission.\n“It has supercharged my thinking about how poetry and art relate to the community, and how it impacts them, through the ties that bind us,” Sanchez said.\nA poetry napkin written by Gabriel Hugo Sanchez. (Courtesy)\nHe believes poetry can foster unity across the Rio Grande Valley and beyond, in a time where it is much needed, he says, adding that technology and algorithms have driven people apart. The poetry napkin challenge is an opportunity for connection, because it doesn’t end when someone writes a poem. It goes on when someone else discovers it.\nOne of Sanchez’s hopes for this project is to inspire people who have never written a poem before to give it a shot. He also dreams that one day, he himself comes across a poetry napkin left behind.\nSanchez sees no shortage of creative minds in the Valley. It’s what has kept him here his entire life, he says, and he wants to encapsulate it. He invites everyone to snap a photo of their poetry napkin and post it online with the hashtag “#McAllenNapkinChallenge.”\nIf enough people participate, he hopes to compile the poems into a book, one that tells the story of the area’s vibrantly artistic spirit through the eyes of those living here.\nA poetry napkin written by Tara Ochoa. (Courtesy)\n“When you think about it, life is poetry,” Sanchez said. “And poetry is life.”\nThe post Freeing verse: McAllen Poet Laureate liberates poetry through napkin challenge appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/19/freeing-verse-mcallen-poet-laureate-liberates-poetry-through-napkin-challenge/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Alexandrea Bailey","publishDate":"2026-06-19T17:01:00.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F136617509_web1_5-6-poet-050126.Poet-Laureate_GABRIEL-SANCHEZ.-dl-001_toned.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"freeing-verse-mcallen-poet-laureate-liberates-poetry-through-napkin-challenge"},{"id":"4cgpay","title":"Los Fresnos City Manager Mark Milum retires after 22 years on the job","excerpt":"Los Fresnos City Manager Mark Milum stands in front of his collection of Rodeo Festival belt buckles as Milum prepares to retire at the end of June after more than two decades of public service.

(Miguel Roberts | The Brownsville Herald)\nMark Milum has been a city manager for longer than most.\nAfter 22 years of working for the “close-knit” city of Los Fresnos and serving alongside three mayors, he has seen the city grow from a population of 4,000 to more than 8,000, he said.\nWhen he started the position in November 2004, the city was coming out of financial difficulties from the early 2000s, Milum explained. Los Fresnos had had a string of city managers in the years before his tenure. One was arrested for embezzlement and another was charged for driving while intoxicated, he said.\n“The city needed someone to operate honestly, with integrity,” he continued. “I was that guy. I’m a very honest Christian person.”\nIn his early days as city manager, Milum worked to build back a healthy emergency fund and start providing services that were “drastically cut.” At the time, a portion of the city needed brush service while streets and parks required repairs, he said.\nAs city manager, one of his largest projects was around 2006, he said, which involved paving dirt and gravel city blocks and redoing others that were in bad shape.\nMilum did not have previous government experience, but was heavily involved in his children’s school and within the community. He managed a group of Circle K convenience stores.\n“Right before I came onboard they had a good mayor and started turning some things around,” he said. “I just helped continue it.”\nHe said that his business background helped him learn to put people in the right place to succeed and the rest he learned through practice.\nGovernment regulations slowed things down, he said, noting that all these new steps were a big change when shifting into the public role.\nLos Fresnos City Manager Mark Milum stands inside the Los Fresnos City Commission Chambers Thursday, June 18, 2026, at City Hall along Ocean Boulevard as Milum prepares to retire at the end of June after more than two decades of public service. (Miguel Roberts | The Brownsville Herald)\nMilum has always had his door open to residents, he said, adding that it was a small group of young high schoolers who walked into his office in the early 2010s who left the strongest impact on him.\nThey asked for a space to skateboard after the city passed an ordinance to stop kids from skating on picnic tables, he said.\n“They earned my respect because it wasn’t with mom and dad yelling at me or anything, it was them,” he said, adding that they apologized for any damage they had done to tables or businesses.\nThey wanted to help create the solution, Milum said. They noted that the city had a baseball field, a soccer field and playgrounds for kids, but no place for skaters.\n“We had old tennis courts that were in disrepair,” he continued. “Because of those kids we added a whole skatepark. … I wish that I had their names because they really impacted me.”\n“This is more than just a job for me, it’s home,” Milum said.\nHe was born in Los Fresnos, with his family arriving in the Rio Grande Valley in the late 1930s to buy up land to farm, he said. Milum and his wife raised their daughter and two sons in Los Fresnos. He plans to spend more time with them as well as his grandchildren during retirement.\n“The gas stations survived without me just like the city will survive without me,” he said.\nThe city of Los Fresnos recently hired a firm to search for its next city manager. Milum is set to retire at the end of June.\nThough he won’t be at the city office, he plans to continue serving others. He is involved in church and has been on the executive committee of Los Fresnos Rodeo for over 30 years.\n“I mow grass for people,” he stated. “I don’t think I want to do that full time but it has been a pleasure.”\nThe post Los Fresnos City Manager Mark Milum retires after 22 years on the job appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/19/los-fresnos-city-manager-mark-milum-retires-after-22-years-on-the-job/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Montserrat Pagan","publishDate":"2026-06-19T16:46:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F136617426_web1_IMG_20260618_102127442_HDR_Photo2Final.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"los-fresnos-city-manager-mark-milum-retires-after-22-years-on-the-job"},{"id":"8n16hq","title":"Harlingen kids make smash burgers, walking tacos during summer vacation","excerpt":"Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (HCISD) culinary arts program students at Gutierrez Middle School cook smash burgers Wednesday, June 17, 2026.

(Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nThe Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in Alamo announced that construction on the levee will begin next week.\nThe news, however, has locals concerned about the effects it could have on the local wildlife that reside in the sanctuary.\nA brief post on the refuge’s Facebook page shared a few details about the upcoming construction Wednesday.\n“The levee is expected to be closed to bicycle and pedestrian traffic for the remainder of the summer while construction is ongoing,” the post reads. “During this period, bicyclists should use Bobcat Trail as a detour route. We will advise when it has reopened for public access.”\nA bird flies low at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in Alamo. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nScott Nicol, a longtime anti-border wall activist, has previously expressed concern over the effects the construction will have on the native wildlife.\nA map on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website shows a nearly 3-mile stretch labeled as “Rio Grande Valley 4 Project” that slices through the top portion of the refuge along Levee Road.\nNicol explained that the construction could prove to be catastrophic for the terrestrial animals as it will essentially cut off pathways towards higher ground the next time the area is flooded.\n“What’s going to happen is they’re going to carve away the river-facing (side) roughly one-third of that levee and replace that side of it with a concrete slab, so just a straight vertical wall that’ll be around 10-feet tall,” Nicol explained. “Then at what is now the top of the levee, they’ll put steel posts that are 6-inches wide and spaced 4-inches apart, and that’ll stand about 15 to 20 feet above that concrete wall, or on top of that concrete wall, and so you get a total of 30 feet.”\nA exit sign is displayed at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in Alamo. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\n“Because of the limited space between the posts and the concrete is impassable to most terrestrial animals, you know a bobcat or an ocelot, they can’t get up that 10 feet and they can’t get between those bollards, so it’s going to be absolutely devastating for wildlife.”\nActivists have been fighting to protect the refuge from a border wall since President Donald Trump’s first term in office. At the time, activists were able to successfully convince members of Congress to exempt Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, along with the National Butterfly Center, La Lomita, and Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park from border wall construction.\nWith the passing of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year, he was able to attain roughly $45 million for border wall construction.\n“That money is now being used all over the border, but in this case there’s a $1.14 billion contract received by Spencer Construction to wall off Santa Ana and La Lomita and the National Butterfly Center and Bentsen State Park and the Salineño Wildlife Preserve in Starr County and a couple of areas near La Grulla,” Nicol said.\nA road guides visitors at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in Alamo. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nHe said that one of the reasons the refuge has been targeted is because it’s property that is owned by the federal government. Other locations that are being eyed for border wall construction would require a purchase or the property owner’s permission, or condemning that land.\nNicol called on U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz, R-Edinburg, as well as U.S. Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz — who each voted in favor of the One Big Beautiful Bill — to try to step in and prevent the construction of the wall at the refuge.\n“They could push for this contract to be canceled or rewritten. It could happen tomorrow,” he said. “I don’t think they’re going to do that, but I also don’t think that just because they’re in the same party as the president they should get a pass for that.

Roosevelt Ave. in the Tuscany Village Subdivision in Alton.\nGuerra said Wednesday that all three of the victims were found on the second story of the home in the gated subdivision.\nChopra’s father, Ram, was found alive and taken to the hospital where he later died.

He then led them on a short chase before crashing into two vehicles and rolling over. He was then taken into custody, Guerra said.\nDuring an interview with police, Sachin Chopra told investigators that he was walking up the stairs in the house when he saw legs on the ground.\n“Sachin then said his brother Gaurav was walking towards him and suddenly pulled out a firearm with his right hand,” a probable cause affidavit stated. “Sachin said Gaurav pointed the firearm at his head and shot once but missed. Sachin was chased by Gaurav around the house and eventually was able to flee the scene.”\nInvestigators recovered the gun they believed was used in the shooting inside the Lexus. The affidavit said authorities located live rounds and spent casings at the crime scene matching the caliber of the firearm found in the Lexus.\nGuerra also said that they believe Chopra’s parents owned an event center and hotel in Palmview.\n\nEditor’s note: This story has been updated for clarity. \nStaff writer Mark Reagan contributed to this report.\nThe post No bond for Alton suspect accused of killing parents, grandmother appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/18/no-bond-for-alton-suspect-accused-of-killing-parents-grandmother/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Xavier Alvarez","publishDate":"2026-06-18T23:30:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F061826.ARRAIGNMENT_CHOPRA-dl-002.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"no-bond-for-alton-suspect-accused-of-killing-parents-grandmother"},{"id":"xmypp7","title":"Rio Hondo city administrator files lawsuit over false arrest","excerpt":"RIO HONDO — In a federal lawsuit, longtime City Administrator Ben Medina claims former Police Chief William Bilokury arrested him without probable cause, while his sergeant “lied” in affidavits used to obtain search warrants for a cellphone along with city recording equipment which the chief clai...","content":"RIO HONDO — In a federal lawsuit, longtime City Administrator Ben Medina claims former Police Chief William Bilokury arrested him without probable cause, while his sergeant “lied” in affidavits used to obtain search warrants for a cellphone along with city recording equipment which the chief claimed was recording a court proceeding.\nEarlier this year, Bilokury, who city commissioners fired for policy violations in March 2025, filed a lawsuit against the city over his termination, City Attorney Robert Drinkard said in an interview.\nTuesday in U.S. District Court, Medina filed the lawsuit against Bilokury, in his capacity as police chief, and Sgt. Javier Rosales, in his capacity as a police officer, demanding a jury trial.\nWhile Medina declined comment, Bilokury could not be reached for comment.\nIn a lawsuit filed by attorney Ruben Pena, Medina claims Bilokury arrested him at the city’s police station, taking him to the Cameron County jail, where he was held for 12 hours on charges of tampering, fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair and improper influence.\nOn Jan. 8, 2025, Medina’s felony charges were dismissed while his misdemeanor charges were dropped on June 11, 2025, the lawsuit states.\n“These charges stemmed from Bilokury’s unfounded suspicions that Medina had improperly used a city recording device to surreptitiously tape a municipal court proceeding,” the lawsuit states. “Chief Bilokury, in a political vendetta, created a false narrative that Mr. Medina had improperly recorded statements that did not pertain to official city business.”\n“Chief Bilokury was the sole moving force behind a deliberate conspiracy to create and present affidavits Rosales knew to be false with the purpose of exploiting the criminal justice system to arrest, detain and torment Ben Medina for a crime Bilokury knew he did not commit. Moreover, Bilokury ordered the sham investigation that served as the basis for the false affidavits and pushed the investigation forward despite knowing Medina was innocent.”\nAt the time of the lawsuit’s filing, Medina had “not been charged with any crime or unlawful conduct based on information retrieved from his cell phone,” the lawsuit states.\nIn the lawsuit, Medina also accuses Rosales of “improperly searching and seizing city property and Mr. Medina’s cell phone without probable cause,” violating his constitutional rights through “false statements that led to Mr. Medina’s illegal arrest.”\nDuring a search, the lawsuit claims, Bilokury stated, “This is done — the reign of terror is over. I am doing everything I can to bring him (Medina) down. I am on a mountain of righteousness. Right now, I fear no evil, especially him. I will be honest and upfront with you about it.”\nFormer Rio Hondo Police Chief William Bilokury explains to a group of boy scouts how to use camp stoves safely Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2021, for a fire safety unit during the Boy Scouts of America’s 2021 Winter Camp at Camp Perry in Rio Hondo. (Denise Cathey/The Brownsville Herald)\nThe lawsuit accuses Bilokury and Rosales of “false arrest and imprisonment,” along with “unlawful search and seizure” and “malicious prosecution,” arguing Bilokury had no probable cause to arrest Medina.\n“During an independent city investigation, subsequent to the arrest of Ben Medina, Chief Bilokury admitted that he did not have sufficient facts to establish probable cause that a specific offense had been committed, nor that the seized device constituted evidence of an offense, nor that Ben Medina committed the offense,” the lawsuit states.\nDuring an independent investigator’s interview, Bilokury stated, “We haven’t even been able to establish if a crime has occurred yet or not. We’re not at that point,” the lawsuit states. “We have reasonable suspicion. We ain’t got probable cause. We haven’t hit that threshold.”\nIn his lawsuit, Medina claims Rosales made four false statements in affidavits used to obtain a search warrant aimed at confiscating a city recording device.\n“Because Rosales, at Bilokury’s direction, knowingly and recklessly misrepresented key facts and omitted other key facts about the evidence, a magistrate authorized two warrants to arrest” Medina, the lawsuit claims. “First, there was no ‘victim’ named in the affidavit, as Rosales alleged.”\nWhile the affidavit states Bilokury was standing at the “east” end of a courtroom when he noticed the city device, which he believed was recording, Municipal Court Judge Jessica Gonzales stated the police chief was standing near the court’s entrance, “where he would not be able to determine if the device was on or not, a distance of over 25 feet,” the lawsuit argues.\n“Thirdly, Rosales affirms that the device was in the possession of the police department, when he knew this was false because he was the officer who returned the device to Medina the day before,” the lawsuit states.\nWhile the affidavit states court clerk Jennifer Gutierrez was asked whether she left the recording system running following the previous night’s city commission meeting, the meeting’s minutes reflect the clerk was not present, the lawsuit states.\n“What the minutes do show is that Sgt. Rosales was present at the meeting and should have been aware that Jennifer Gutierrez was not in attendance,” the lawsuit states. “Significantly, Rosales omits the statement from Gutierrez that when she saw the recording device at the beginning of the court proceedings, the device was off. There was no evidence that Medina entered the courtroom after the proceedings began.”\nThe Rio Hondo Municipal Center is seen in this undated photo. (Courtesy: City of Rio Hondo/Facebook)\nIn his lawsuit, Medina claims Bilokury, while with Rosales, “seized the device without a warrant” before placing it inside the police department’s evidence locker on Sept. 18, 2024.\nOn Sept. 23, 2024, Bilokury told Rosales to obtain warrants to arrest Medina, charging him with tampering, fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair, a third-degree felony, the lawsuit states.\nWhile Bilokury believed Medina had left with the recording device, Medina was attending an International City Manager’s Association conference, where he was slated to receive an award, it states.\nOn Sept. 26, 2024, Medina, while at the police station, was arrested for the outstanding warrant before being taken to the county jail, where he was held for 12 hours, the lawsuit states.\nThe next day, Rosales, under Bilokury’s order, used the same affidavit to obtain a search warrant aimed at seizing Medina’s cellphone, suspected of “containing evidence of the crime of “tamper/fabricate physical evidence with intent to impair, improper influence.”\nAs the result of his arrest, Medina “has suffered emotional and mental anguish damages, injury to his reputation, health and character,” the lawsuit, which demands attorneys’ fees and court costs, states, adding, “his mug shot was seen on local television and in various blogs.”\nThe post Rio Hondo city administrator files lawsuit over false arrest appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/18/rio-hondo-city-administrator-files-lawsuit-over-false-arrest/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Fernando Del Valle","publishDate":"2026-06-18T23:29:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F07%2FAdobeStock_99879858.jpeg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"rio-hondo-city-administrator-files-lawsuit-over-false-arrest"},{"id":"gu4i62","title":"Downtown trolly hits the streets of McAllen this weekend","excerpt":"McAllen’s new downtown circulator will officially start running this weekend.\nThe circulator offers a free, air-conditioned ride around downtown on Fridays and Saturdays.

It’s an effort toward improving mobility in a dense retail sector with limited parking and one of the city’s first downtown improvement projects in quite some time.\nMany more are expected to come as Mend Collaborative, the design firm tasked with coming up with a plan to revamp downtown, works toward completing their recommendations for the district’s future.\nThe downtown circulator makes a stop on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in McAllen. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nOn Thursday morning, under the South Texas sun, the city and its metro offered media members a tour of the route, aboard the trolly-like ADA accessible bus.\nFor the new route, the city purchased two diesel-powered buses manufactured by a company called Gilig, designed to resemble vintage trolleys, with simulated wood-grain exterior panels, large tinted windows, decorative trim, ornamental detailing and a rounded roof line, evoking the look of a historic streetcar.\nThe city purchased two for $500,000 each and estimate that it will take approximately $45,000 to operate the route annually.\nThe bus can fit 30 people sitting, with standing room for 15. In all, the bus can hold 45 passengers in total at a time.\nIt features a deploy-able ADA ramp and a bike rack. The bus also “kneels” for passengers to easily step onto the bus. And the air conditioner keeps the shaded space nice and cool, offering a much-needed break from the beaming Rio Grande Valley sun.\nThere was an extreme heat warning on the day of the tour with feels-like temperatures as high as 124 degrees, but aboard the bus, it was a comfortable ride around downtown.\nMario Delgado, city of McAllen Metro Transit director, rides the downtown circulator on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in McAllen. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nThe circulator will go by each stop in the city’s core every 30 minutes, more or less, says Transit Director Mario Delgado.\n“We are trying to see if we can shave a little bit of time off that,” he said.\nIt will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. According to Delgado, if there proves to be significant demand, they will consider expanding the schedule into the week.\nFor the last two to three weeks, the city has been conducting dry runs of the route. It officially kicks off Friday.\n“They’re the heart and soul of our department,” Delgado said of the bus drivers that will be running the route. “We carry the most precious cargo — people.”\nAnd the city hopes this new transit service enhances the downtown experience for those people, allowing them to drive and walk less. This is just one effort in an ongoing push toward attracting more visitors to spend quality shopping time in the once bustling retail district — even through the hot summer.\n\r\n                \r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.003-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.004-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.008-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item4 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.007-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item5 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.005-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item6 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.001-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item7 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.006-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item8 {\r\n                        background: url(https://myrgv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/061826.DOWNTOWN_CIRCULATOR.jm_.002-160x120.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                \r\n\r\n                \r\n                    \r\n                        \r\n                           \r\n\r\n                            \r\n                                1 of 8\r\n                                \r\n                                    \r\n                                    \r\n                                \r\n                            \r\n                        \r\n\r\n                        \r\n                            \r\n                                \r\n                    \r\n                        \r\n                            \r\n                                \r\n                            \r\n                            A view of the Bentsen Tower from inside the downtown circulator on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in McAllen.

The tax break would come in the form of a 95% tax abatement agreement over 20 years.\nIf Saronic accepts the deal, Brownsville would strengthen its position as one of Texas’ emerging technology hubs, sparked by SpaceX’s arrival many years ago.\n“This is exactly the kind of investment that positions Cameron County as a statewide and national leader in innovation and workforce excellence,” County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr. said in a statement.\nThe prospect drew a lot of attention from the community and prompted more than two dozen people to address the county commissioners during a meeting this week, both in support and against the tax abatement agreement.\nThose against the agreement argued it would shift the tax burden from the company, which is valued at $9.25 billion, over to residents. Opponents also said the abatement would take away money from public schools.\n“Why is it fair that a billion dollar company comes to our small city and asks for a tax break?” said Victoria Oseguera, a Brownsville resident. “Providing jobs is not enough.”\nSaronic Technologies presents its plans for a $3.2 billion next-generation shipyard called “Port Alpha” during a Cameron County Commissioners Court meeting on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at the Dancy Building in Brownsville. (Montserrat Pagan/The Brownsville Herald)\nSupporters of the tax incentives said the company would bring much-needed jobs to the area. The 10,000 jobs Saronic is expected to create would outnumber the approximately 4,000 employees SpaceX has in South Texas. SpaceX is expected to grow to 8,000 employees by the end of the year, according to Brownsville officials.\n“This project will build an ecosystem of suppliers, advanced manufacturers, tech, AI, highly skilled people, a pipeline of local talent and, lastly, opportunities for local entrepreneurs and local businesses,” said Gilberto Salinas, president and CEO of the Greater Brownsville Economic Development Corporation, which is offering Saronic an additional $10 million incentive.\nSalinas said projects like Saronic’s Port Alpha would transform the economic landscape of Brownsville and import money that would create generational wealth.\n“We need to do a better job of shedding that tagline of the poorest city in the United States,” Salinas said.\nMost of the jobs Saronic will add — 7,401 — would fall under production and maintenance, which includes welders, electricians, plumbers, crane operators and assembly line workers.\nAnother 1,200 positions would be in engineering and design, 700 in administration and support, and 699 in research and development.\nAs part of the tax abatement agreement, 35% of their full-time workforce is required to be local residents.\nIf Saronic falls short of job projections, the tax abatement would decrease.\nAdditionally, the company must agree to participate in job fairs, partner with Workforce Commission Cameron and two other local educational institutions on training programs, submit annual reports to the Texas Workforce Commission and comply with all local, state and federal permits.\nCommunity members hold signs in opposition of a potential tax abatement for Saronic Technologies’ next-generation shipyard called “Port Alpha” during a Cameron County Commissioners Court meeting on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at the Dancy Building in Brownsville. (Montserrat Pagan/The Brownsville Herald)\nOpposition vs. Opportunity\nChristopher Basaldu, co-founder of the South Texas Environmental Justice Network, told county commissioners that the project would further pollute the area and would not bring the economic benefits to those who need them.\n“This company has no morals and they only wish to exploit cheapened land and cheapened labor,” Basaldu said. “You think that this is going to bring opportunity? It brings opportunity to very wealthy people who don’t live here. It doesn’t bring opportunity to the poorest and most marginal of us all.”\nWith the Port Alpha project, Saronic aims to build “the fleet of the future” that consists of autonomous warships. The company boasts that the shipyard would be the most advanced in the world and would quickly and affordably assemble vessels of varying sizes, from small tactical boats to large ships.\nLate last year, Saronic secured a $392 million contract from the U.S. Navy for autonomous maritime capabilities, and earlier this month, one of the company’s AI-powered boats rescued two crew members of a downed U.S. Army helicopter that was shot down by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz.\nIn response to questions and a request for an interview, Saronic issued a statement confirming the company had not yet selected a location for Port Alpha.\n“Saronic’s nationwide search for a location to build Port Alpha remains active and ongoing,” read a statement from a company spokesperson. “Recent filings are a standard part of the vetting process for sites under consideration, reflecting the thorough and deliberate approach required by Port Alpha’s unique requirements.”\n\nReporting in the Rio Grande Valley is supported in part by the Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc.\nThis article first appeared on The Texas Tribune.\nThe post Landmark $211M tax-break deal could trump SpaceX’s deal in South Texas appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/alerts-vms/2026/06/18/landmark-211m-tax-break-deal-could-trump-spacexs-deal-in-south-texas/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Texas Tribune","publishDate":"2026-06-18T23:27:48.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FSaronic_Corsair.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"landmark-211m-tax-break-deal-could-trump-spacexs-deal-in-south-texas"},{"id":"lul3pc","title":"Man to serve 6 months in jail after crash killed two Los Fresnos woman","excerpt":"Rogelio Campos Leal\nA Los Fresnos truck driver charged with two counts of criminal negligence homicide was sentenced to six months in jail this Tuesday for a deadly 2023 stop sign crash.\nOn Sept. 26, 2023, Rogelio Campos Leal, who was 66 at the time the crash, ran a stop sign while driving a 2013...","content":"Rogelio Campos Leal\nA Los Fresnos truck driver charged with two counts of criminal negligence homicide was sentenced to six months in jail this Tuesday for a deadly 2023 stop sign crash.\nOn Sept. 26, 2023, Rogelio Campos Leal, who was 66 at the time the crash, ran a stop sign while driving a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck at a high speed.\nHe crashed into two vehicles, killing 97-year-old Mauricia Cruz-Rodriguez and 62-year-old Blanca Mauricia Zamarano at the scene.\nRodriguez and Zamarano were both in a gray 2004 Toyota Corolla traveling eastbound on FM 510.\nA jury found Leal guilty on March 25 and Leal chose to be sentenced by state District Judge Juan A.

Forty-five vendors will be selling books, literary items, baked goods, candles, cups, jewelry, and anything else the creative minds behind these small businesses bring to life.\nSome vendors are making exclusive items just for the festival.\n“So many have told us that they are creating new products and exploring new things just for this specific market,” said Maria. “I am excited to see what comes from that. There will definitely be new things we haven’t had before.”\nTwo published South Texas authors will appear. Lizzy Goldmoon, a romance novelist, will be there to talk about her debut book, “Mathematical Equations,” as well as Kathryn Ann Kingsley, author of the “Vile & Virtue” fantasy trilogy.\nThe Book-E Bus, South Texas’ first bookstore on wheels, will be there with books for all ages, and DJ Venom will be spinning a playlist tailored for the fest with South Texas at its heart.\nAccording to Maria, this is the sisters’ first time enlisting the help of a female DJ, as they set out to embrace femininity in the local literary scene.\n“Women play a huge role in the book community, organizing book clubs, recommending books to friends, asking for events like this,” said Maria. “We’ve seen that they find a sense of community.”\nMaria, Nayelli and Linda Garcia are seen at the McAllen Library Tuesday, June 16, 2026, in McAllen. The three sisters are will host the Book Babe Festival in Alamo. (Delcia Lopez | dlopez@themonitor.com)\nThe three sisters aren’t just selling books and hosting markets. They’re creating spaces for bonding, where readers can meet like-minded people and feel comfortable expanding their friend groups.\nThree Sisters Co. started in the summer of 2023, as a small pop up where the sisters would sell books from their personal collections as a hobby. It evolved into hosting bookish events, book clubs, and movie and craft nights, as they tried to fulfill a growing demand for literary culture.\nThis festival and all of Three Sisters Co.’s events are evidence that readers are thriving in the Valley, and proof that reading isn’t solitary. It can be community building.\n“We have seen a lot of friendships form,” Maria said.\nWith a growing following, each event the sisters host reminds them how many readers are here in the Valley, and with summer just around the corner, they thought now would be the perfect time to embrace the role literature plays here.\n“When we think of South Texas summer, we think of fun and music and really everything to do with South Texas culture,” said Maria. “We wanted to combine that with books!”\nAccording to Maria, you don’t have to be a woman to be a “book babe,” you just have to love reading, and even those who don’t will find something for themselves at the festival. She hopes along with inspiring established readers, that the event inspires non-readers to pick up a book.\n“And we hope it inspires us to make this a yearly thing,” Maria said.\nThe South Texas Book Babe is just one chapter in the sisters’ story. Maria says Three Sisters Co. will be announcing more activities over the next couple weeks. For them, it’s what being a “book babe” is all about — sharing the joy of reading with others.\nThe post ‘A Valley of Readers’: Three sisters to host South Texas’ biggest book market appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/18/a-valley-of-readers-three-sisters-to-host-south-texas-biggest-book-market/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Alexandrea Bailey","publishDate":"2026-06-18T23:25:00.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F061626.BOOK-BABES-.-dl-001.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"a-valley-of-readers-three-sisters-to-host-south-texas-biggest-book-market"},{"id":"7ngrja","title":"BPUB announces scholarship recipients, students receiving $2,000 each","excerpt":"The Brownsville Public Utilities Board has awarded 11 graduating high school seniors with Project SHARE Scholarships of $2,000 each to help pay the cost of attending an accredited university this fall.\nBPUB’s Project SHARE was created in 1985 to help local families with utility bill payments, but...","content":"The Brownsville Public Utilities Board has awarded 11 graduating high school seniors with Project SHARE Scholarships of $2,000 each to help pay the cost of attending an accredited university this fall.\nBPUB’s Project SHARE was created in 1985 to help local families with utility bill payments, but was expanded in 2005 to include scholarships for students pursuing higher education.

The U.S. says some outstanding issues will be worked out over the 60 days.\nHere are some of the main questions, and the best answers available at the moment.\nWhat will happen with Iran’s nuclear program?\nTrump says a key objective of the war was to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, something Tehran has long denied seeking. The U.S.-Israeli surprise attack that started the war on Feb. 28 came as Iran was engaged in nuclear talks, which are now set to resume.\nIt will be extremely difficult to reach a full nuclear agreement before the 60-day deadline, which could be extended. The 2015 nuclear deal, which Trump scrapped during his first term, took more than 18 months to negotiate and involved complex technical discussions among nuclear experts.\nIran has long insisted on its right to enrich uranium. The deal does not specify the level at which it would be allowed to enrich — the low levels required for power plants or the much higher level at which it had enriched before the war, which put the uranium a short, technical step away from weapons-grade.\nIran’s existing stockpile of highly enriched uranium is believed to have been largely buried by U.S. strikes last year. The agreement says at a minimum the stockpile will be diluted on site under U.N. supervision, without elaborating. Trump has long demanded that it be removed from the country.\nA man stands beside a fishing pole along the shore as cargo ships and commercial vessels are seen in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas, Iran, Wednesday, June 17, 2026. (Amirhosein Khorgooi/ISNA via AP)\nWhen will the Strait of Hormuz reopen?\nIran’s effective closure of the critical waterway — through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas passed before the war — caused a historic worldwide fuel shock, driving up the prices of everything from gas and groceries to fertilizer and airline tickets.\nLloyd’s List Intelligence, a maritime data company, said Thursday that major shippers have begun moving vessels through the strait again.\nUnder the agreement, it will be fully reopened, with Iran to remove mines within 30 days and with no charges imposed on commercial vessels during the 60-day period.\nPassage was free before the war, but Iran imposed tolls during the fighting and has said it will continue to charge fees.\nLegal experts say that would violate international laws around freedom of navigation, and the U.S. has adamantly rejected it. Such fees could also run afoul of sanctions on Iran, making them problematic for shippers.\nThe American Flag flies next to a One9 Fuel Stop sign displaying gas prices for diesel and unleaded gas in Wilmington, Ohio, Wednesday, June 10, 2026. (Carolyn Kaster/AP Photo)\nWhen will the fuel crisis end?\nEven if the strait is fully reopened, it could take weeks or months for the normal flow of oil and gas to resume.\nShip captains and insurers will have to decide if it’s truly safe. Hundreds of ships bottled up in the Persian Gulf for months will need to exit through the narrow, elbow-shaped waterway. Even a brief exchange of fire — which happened several times after a declared ceasefire in April — could halt traffic once again.\nMajor oil and gas producers in the Gulf, including Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, will also need time to repair critical infrastructure damaged by Iranian missile and drone attacks.\nWill sanctions on Iran be lifted?\nThe U.S. says it has lifted its blockade under the agreement, which also calls for sanctions waivers that will allow Iran to export oil. That will provide a boost to Iran’s wrecked economy and likely push world fuel prices down. The U.S. also commits to unfreezing Iranian funds held abroad.\nA raft of international sanctions imposed over the years related to Iran’s nuclear program, its support for militant groups and human rights violations are also to be lifted, but only as part of a final nuclear deal. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said sanctions relief would be “performance-based.”\nThe deal calls for the United States and its regional allies to develop a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, but does not say who would pay for it.\nTrump has said the U.S. won’t contribute, and Vance has said it would be up to wealthy Gulf countries to fund it. But they are unlikely to want to help Iran at a time when their own economies are suffering from the war’s fallout and the destruction of their infrastructure in Iranian attacks.\nPolicemen walk in front of a huge banner showing Iranian flag at the Islamic Revolution square in Tehran, Iran, Sunday, June 14, 2026. (Vahid Salemi/AP Photo)\nWill the war in Lebanon end?\nThe deal calls for an immediate halt to military operations “on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” where Israel has been battling the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, and for ensuring Lebanon’s “territorial integrity and sovereignty.”\nIt does not say whether that means Israel would withdraw from the large swaths of southern Lebanon it has occupied since Hezbollah joined the war in its early days by firing rockets and drones at northern Israel.\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces elections later this year, has refused to withdraw, saying Israeli forces will remain in Lebanon until the threat from Hezbollah has been eliminated.\nHezbollah has refused to halt its own attacks while Israel is occupying Lebanese territory, and Iran has insisted Lebanon be included in any ceasefire.\nContinued fighting there could unravel the deal if Iran or the U.S. believe the other is in breach of it.\nWhat about Iran’s ballistic missiles and its support for militants?\nThe deal says nothing about either, and Trump suggested this week that Iran is entitled to have some ballistic missiles in proportion to its neighbors.\nIran still has missiles capable of hitting Israel and has long backed militant groups like Hezbollah, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthi rebels in Yemen and militias in Iraq, which have also attacked it. Eliminating Iran’s missiles and degrading its network of militant allies were among the main U.S. war goals.\nSanctions relief would potentially allow Iran to continue funding such groups, though it will have to balance that against its own economic crisis and reconstruction needs.\nThe post There are many questions about the Iran deal.

Earlier this year, the city hired Mend Collaborative, an urban planning firm, to develop a Downtown and Entertainment District Redevelopment Plan.\nAccording to City Manager Isaac Tawil, the firm has finished compiling information and data after months of meeting with community stakeholders, city leaders, first responders, and various department heads and is ready to present some of their findings to the public.\nMcAllen City Manager Isaac Tawil provides an update on the city’s priorities and initiatives during a luncheon Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce. (Courtesy: McAllen Chamber of Commerce)\nThe open house will take place Monday, June 29, from 6-8 p.m. at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce. There, attendees will review survey findings, learn about the planning process, and have the opportunity to provide more feedback that will help guide future improvements.\nTawil says that Mend Collaborative wants the public to help categorize downtown’s needs into various categories dictating priority. Tawil has yet to review any of the firm’s findings thus far. The city will be seeing it for the first time, right along with the public.\nThe public hearing will be led by the firm as well, not the city. Mend Collaborative will present the information they have gathered these last few months for attendees to rank in regards to what they feel is most pressing to least pressing.\n“If walkability is important, or parking is important, or shade is important, or art is important,” said Tawil. “Whatever it might be, they’re going to have a method or system for the community — our stakeholders — to record their preferences.”\nTawil commended Mend Collaborative’s ability to prompt the community dialogue that he says will influence downtown decision making.\n“The more people talk, the more people share, and the more information we have to work with,” said Tawil.\nAdditionally, Tawil says the firm has helped stakeholders frame their concerns in a positive light, adding that the firm has added “tremendous value” to the city’s call to enhance the district.\nA view of 17th Street in downtown McAllen on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. (Delcia Lopez | dlopez@themonitor.com)\nThis will be Mend Collaborative’s second public event. In March, they hosted a packed town hall with over a hundred attendees. Tawil doesn’t have an approximation on how many people the city expects to show up Monday, but hopes as many people as possible come.\n“The more people that come, the more representative the feedback is,” said Tawil. “My message to the community is we want to hear from you. Come out. Express your opinion.”\nThe next step following this public hearing will be Mend Collaborative bringing a formal recommendation to the city commission to consider. Eventually, the public will see a final plan, but for now, the timeline is unclear.\nRecently, the city launched a downtown circulator to address mobility issues downtown. Tawil says he hopes it shows the public how committed the city is to its small retail community.\n“We are supportive of them and we want to make sure patrons looking for access to those establishments have many reasonable opportunities to get there,” said Tawil. “I think it is a big step in enhancing the attractiveness of downtown.”\nDowntown, encompassing a tight knit multi-generational community of small businesses, may have been a hot-button topic for McAllen this last year, but it has played a core role in the lives of many McAllen city leaders, Tawil included, long before they assumed their civic positions.\nThat history is shaping their vision for the future.\n“I come from a childhood where I grew up with parents who had stores downtown — in a vibrant downtown — where there were people walking the streets and visiting stores. It was a thriving part of the local economy,” said Tawil. “My vision, personally, for downtown McAllen is to see it be just that.”\nIn his leadership role, he hopes the city can provide the district with the infrastructure it needs to achieve that vision. In the meantime, he says the city cannot ignore the challenge — acknowledging that for a long time, the area has existed simply “as it was.” He recognizes that stakeholders, landowners, and businesses have asked for support.\n“I want them to know that we hear them,” he said. “One of the things we need to start doing is delivering on that.”\nThe post McAllen residents asked to help define downtown priorities appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/17/mcallen-residents-asked-to-help-define-downtown-priorities/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Alexandrea Bailey","publishDate":"2026-06-17T23:25:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":30,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F04%2F032526.DOWNTOWN-REVITALIZATION.-dl-008.jpg","slug":"mcallen-residents-asked-to-help-define-downtown-priorities"},{"id":"o8x2at","title":"McAllen residents asked to help define downtown priorities - MyRGV.com","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMioAFBVV95cUxPNTc3cGRYU2U2Qk1yUkpDc2x0V1I2NEh4VGxWSEtQYVZMd2dKNkNyMzZaRVR6eXpjdjdFLUk0a21wa2NfXzBDZ2NhSkFvbGc4VG42STA0WlM5Z29yaWxKdjF6SXFYTktKRVFYWTVRMGtxVXd5UURSOGNXaUkxa3RvYnZ5ZkR4Sk1yYzF6bUpXSHVUWVBOdjd4TVRtdVVDcjQ2?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">McAllen ...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMioAFBVV95cUxPNTc3cGRYU2U2Qk1yUkpDc2x0V1I2NEh4VGxWSEtQYVZMd2dKNkNyMzZaRVR6eXpjdjdFLUk0a21wa2NfXzBDZ2NhSkFvbGc4VG42STA0WlM5Z29yaWxKdjF6SXFYTktKRVFYWTVRMGtxVXd5UURSOGNXaUkxa3RvYnZ5ZkR4Sk1yYzF6bUpXSHVUWVBOdjd4TVRtdVVDcjQ2?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">McAllen residents asked to help define downtown priorities</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">MyRGV.com</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMioAFBVV95cUxPNTc3cGRYU2U2Qk1yUkpDc2x0V1I2NEh4VGxWSEtQYVZMd2dKNkNyMzZaRVR6eXpjdjdFLUk0a21wa2NfXzBDZ2NhSkFvbGc4VG42STA0WlM5Z29yaWxKdjF6SXFYTktKRVFYWTVRMGtxVXd5UURSOGNXaUkxa3RvYnZ5ZkR4Sk1yYzF6bUpXSHVUWVBOdjd4TVRtdVVDcjQ2?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","author":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","publishDate":"2026-06-17T23:25:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":30,"priority":2,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1560518883-ce09059eeffa%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"mcallen-residents-asked-to-help-define-downtown-priorities-myrgvcom"},{"id":"wefcxc","title":"Man convicted in deadly McAllen crash sentenced to 5 years of probation - KRGV","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMinwFBVV95cUxOQVJvbHRFTmV6cHo0M0Z5Y3pyTHcwdzFkcUNNX3VEUUtJZXY5VVZPdDdQNkNkX1Y4RGNQWjUzRFdBSjRFYVJWdnZfMVZ6ZnE4dHZsMV9OR2pYaUFLSnl4VkdOYWMzOHFFVkhVaDVRYWNrUWpiajlXN0ppelZnOGd1b0pkVUQ5bmpfcGJtY09fRm40R3V6QW5ZQW9yd0l5VW8?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Man convi...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMinwFBVV95cUxOQVJvbHRFTmV6cHo0M0Z5Y3pyTHcwdzFkcUNNX3VEUUtJZXY5VVZPdDdQNkNkX1Y4RGNQWjUzRFdBSjRFYVJWdnZfMVZ6ZnE4dHZsMV9OR2pYaUFLSnl4VkdOYWMzOHFFVkhVaDVRYWNrUWpiajlXN0ppelZnOGd1b0pkVUQ5bmpfcGJtY09fRm40R3V6QW5ZQW9yd0l5VW8?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Man convicted in deadly McAllen crash sentenced to 5 years of probation</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">KRGV</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMinwFBVV95cUxOQVJvbHRFTmV6cHo0M0Z5Y3pyTHcwdzFkcUNNX3VEUUtJZXY5VVZPdDdQNkNkX1Y4RGNQWjUzRFdBSjRFYVJWdnZfMVZ6ZnE4dHZsMV9OR2pYaUFLSnl4VkdOYWMzOHFFVkhVaDVRYWNrUWpiajlXN0ppelZnOGd1b0pkVUQ5bmpfcGJtY09fRm40R3V6QW5ZQW9yd0l5VW8?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","author":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","publishDate":"2026-06-17T01:55:10.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":30,"priority":2,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1518780664697-55e3ad937233%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"man-convicted-in-deadly-mcallen-crash-sentenced-to-5-years-of-probation-krgv"},{"id":"hqu9fc","title":"McAllen plans five roundabouts to increase roadway safety","excerpt":"Looking to decrease traffic congestion and increase roadway safety, the city of McAllen is investing in roundabouts to keep traffic moving as the population continues growing.\nLate last month, McAllen announced the completion of a modern traffic circle — or roundabout — located at the intersectio...","content":"Looking to decrease traffic congestion and increase roadway safety, the city of McAllen is investing in roundabouts to keep traffic moving as the population continues growing.\nLate last month, McAllen announced the completion of a modern traffic circle — or roundabout — located at the intersection of Freddy Gonzalez Drive and 33rd Street. They called it “a major milestone” as the city’s Engineering Department works toward modernizing roadway infrastructure.\nAlthough construction is complete, it will still be a couple more months until the roundabout is open to the public, according to Rene Gonzalez, transportation engineer.\n“We are trying to create locations where these smaller roadways that connect to larger roadways can actually move traffic at a lower speed, but moving quicker from point A to point B,” Gonzalez explained.\nA view of the roundabout at Freddy Gonzalez Drive and 33rd Street on Friday, June 5, 2026, in McAllen. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nAfter five years of planning in coordination with city management, the city commission, the public and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), this new roundabout is the first of five planned for the near future.\nThe other traffic circles will be located at Oxford Street and 33rd Street, 2nd Street and Wisconsin Avenue, Bentson Road and Four Mile, and Yuma Avenue and McColl Road.\nFunding has been secured for the design of the four remaining roundabouts, but construction funds have yet to be secured, says Gonzalez.\nThe city took part in the Freddy Gonzalez Drive and 33rd Street project through a Development Participation Agreement (DPA), committing $280,000, according to Gonzalez.\nThis graphic illustrates how to drive through a roundabout. (Courtesy: Texas Department of Transportation/TxDOT)\nThe roundabouts are intended to improve east-west mobility, while encouraging drivers to travel at lower speeds, supporting the city’s goal of improving overall roadway safety. Designed to keep vehicles moving using a yield-on-entry system rather than stop lights or stop signs, traffic circles can reduce congestion, lower vehicle speeds, and significantly decrease the likelihood of severe crashes.\nGonzalez says this new roundabout will also be a learning opportunity for the public to understand how to properly drive in a roundabout before the other four traffic circles come into fruition.\nWhen approaching a roundabout, drivers should slow down, yield to vehicles already in the circle, and look left before entering while keeping an eye out for pedestrians and crosswalks. Cars travel counterclockwise, around the roundabout’s central island.\nTxDOT reports that traffic circles can reduce serious injuries and fatal crashes by as much as 90% because they eliminate high-speed, right-angle and head-on collisions.\nA view of a sign indicating an upcoming roundabout at Freddy Gonzalez Drive and 33rd Street on Friday, June 5, 2026, in McAllen. (Joel Martinez | jmartinez@themonitor.com)\nThe city’s first roundabout was built in 2008 at the intersection of Main and Auburn.\n“It was done at that intersection back then for the same reason we are doing it today,” said Gonzalez.\n“As McAllen continues to grow, our responsibility is to ensure that safety remains at the center of every infrastructure decision we make,” said City Manager Isaac J. Tawil. “Projects like modern traffic circles help us manage increased traffic while protecting our residents. We appreciate the patience of our community as we continue building the roadway improvements necessary to support the future growth of our city.”\nThe post McAllen plans five roundabouts to increase roadway safety appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/16/mcallen-plans-five-roundabouts-to-increase-roadway-safety/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Alexandrea Bailey","publishDate":"2026-06-16T23:29:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":60,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F061126.ROUNDABOUT.-dl-001.jpg","slug":"mcallen-plans-five-roundabouts-to-increase-roadway-safety"},{"id":"8zewyq","title":"McAllen plans five roundabouts to increase roadway safety - MyRGV.com","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMinwFBVV95cUxQUl84akFleHppY3FvSURBX0tDOXFVTHJiNDhtWm9WdFZLLUhHTzVmbEh4SVFuQ3Z6akFJVWRxdGJTMFJfRDdkM0MwOEhjTkFuemRLVjlEQlY2X2JSNHJzNmlFLXRKUUZfY3JKSHA0T0JtUGRIQWcydWc0SE1fWXdwZTIyVlhLQ0FiQTZHLWZrTDNBcjlxeUVxU1lBd0o1dWc?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">McAllen p...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMinwFBVV95cUxQUl84akFleHppY3FvSURBX0tDOXFVTHJiNDhtWm9WdFZLLUhHTzVmbEh4SVFuQ3Z6akFJVWRxdGJTMFJfRDdkM0MwOEhjTkFuemRLVjlEQlY2X2JSNHJzNmlFLXRKUUZfY3JKSHA0T0JtUGRIQWcydWc0SE1fWXdwZTIyVlhLQ0FiQTZHLWZrTDNBcjlxeUVxU1lBd0o1dWc?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">McAllen plans five roundabouts to increase roadway safety</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">MyRGV.com</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMinwFBVV95cUxQUl84akFleHppY3FvSURBX0tDOXFVTHJiNDhtWm9WdFZLLUhHTzVmbEh4SVFuQ3Z6akFJVWRxdGJTMFJfRDdkM0MwOEhjTkFuemRLVjlEQlY2X2JSNHJzNmlFLXRKUUZfY3JKSHA0T0JtUGRIQWcydWc0SE1fWXdwZTIyVlhLQ0FiQTZHLWZrTDNBcjlxeUVxU1lBd0o1dWc?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","author":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","publishDate":"2026-06-16T23:29:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":30,"priority":2,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1518780664697-55e3ad937233%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"mcallen-plans-five-roundabouts-to-increase-roadway-safety-myrgvcom"},{"id":"leqr7y","title":"Burgers, with a Mexican twist: Maxi Burgers in McAllen","excerpt":"McALLEN — With our summer weather being as unpredictable as ever, sometimes all you want is a good simple burger.\nThere’s no food more synonymous with summer than hamburgers, an American classic.\nMaybe the most American thing I’ve searched up, I typed “hamburgers near me” in Apple Maps to see my ...","content":"McALLEN — With our summer weather being as unpredictable as ever, sometimes all you want is a good simple burger.\nThere’s no food more synonymous with summer than hamburgers, an American classic.\nMaybe the most American thing I’ve searched up, I typed “hamburgers near me” in Apple Maps to see my options in the area. There were good options all over the upper Valley but I didn’t want an over the top or gourmet hamburger. I wanted to keep it simple.\nThere was one type of burger I was craving and it was a Mexican burger. A simple twist to a classic, a typically Mexican burger just adds a slice of ham and avocado.\nMaxi Burgers is pictured Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 608 S. 10th St. in McAllen. (Omar Zapata | The Monitor)\nMy cravings led me to Maxi Burgers, located at 608 S. 10th St. in McAllen, which drew me with their Facebook photos.\nI took my girlfriend to the restaurant — her favorite food is hamburgers so it was fitting I had to bring in an expert for this South Texas Flavor.\nWe arrived right before a mini rush of people came in to eat dinner. We were first welcomed by a loud door motion alarm that sounded like we stole something. Even some McAllen PD officers were surprised at the alarm walking in.\nMaxi Burgers might have gone through a rebranding recently since the front of the store shows an old name and the top of the menu is cut off.\nThe menu is simple and straight to the point but not descriptive. But no worries to all the readers that need a food visual, the burger joint has two big flat screen TV’s with pictures of the food.\nAside from the burgers, the restaurant also offers tacos and appetizers.\nThe Mexicana burger is seen half eaten on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Maxi Burgers in McAllen. (Omar Zapata | The Monitor)\nFrom simple burgers to unique combos and flavors, the menu offers about 10 different burgers.\nSome burger flavors are different but simple like the Mexicana or the Huevona which is like a breakfast burger. Others are new to me such as the Tropmo burger, with the pineapple and the Al pastor meat in the burger.\nI ordered the Mexicana burger and my girlfriend felt crazy and ordered the Trompo burger.\nTo start off, we received some chips and salsa. We had five different salsa options and I mistakenly tried the hottest one first. It had a good taste at first but the spice lingered in my mouth.\nWe also ordered some onion rings, which came out quickly and was followed right away with our burgers.\nA side order of onion rings is pictured on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Maxi Burgers in McAllen. (Omar Zapata | The Monitor)\nThe onion rings were huge and perfect for the fried food craving we had.\nThe burgers were both a good hefty size and came with fries.\nMy burger was everything that I wanted from a Mexican burger and perfectly satisfied my cravings. Packed with lots of veggies, a good slice of ham, it was just lacking some avocado. The burger had a near perfect ratio of veggies to meat and condiments.\nThe taste was exactly I craved as well. The fries were decent at first but grew on me over time.\nMy girlfriend’s burger was what I should have ordered though: A different but unique taste, I also felt a certain way of having a pineapple and Al pastor meat in the burger.\nA view of the Trompo burger served with a side of fries on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Maxi Burgers in McAllen. The burger contains al pastor meat and a slice of pineapple. (Omar Zapata | The Monitor)\nIt is something about the sweetness combined with the two different types of meat that I liked but was different. The texture of having the wet pineapple in a burger also made me question if this was morally and ethically OK?\nThe long debate has been should pineapple go on pizza? But how about, should pineapple and Al pastor meat go in a burger?\nI think, yeah, why not? Let’s try all different types of things to add to a burger but keep it simple between the buns. I could easily see people hating the taste and texture the Trompo burger could bring.\nThe entire dinner was about $38 which is a bit expensive but you do get large portions, everything did taste good and the restaurant does have unique flavors.\nMaxi Burgers is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.\nThe post Burgers, with a Mexican twist: Maxi Burgers in McAllen appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/16/burgers-with-a-mexican-twist-maxi-burgers-in-mcallen/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) -

(Delcia Lopez | dlopez@themonitor.com)\nAt the workshop, City Manager Isaac Tawil recognized that downtown stakeholders have urged the city to invest into the area with the goal of making it a place where people want to spend their time.\nTawil thought mobility would be a good place to start.\nHe challenged Mario Delgado, McAllen’s director of Transit and Downtown Services, to come up with a quick solution that the city could take immediate action on.\nFortunately, Delgado sees mobility as an economic tool.\nIn downtown McAllen, he’s recognized several challenges impacting the sector’s pedestrian experience. Highly visited destinations have a limited amount of parking, forcing many shoppers to take short vehicle trips that end up creating congestion. Additionally, those coming from out of town are often unfamiliar with the area’s sparse parking options.\nThese obstacles left city leadership facing a particular need: to enhance the pedestrian experience in one of McAllen’s most vibrant and cultured retail and nightlife corridors.\nHowever, McAllen has yet to officially launch the new Downtown Circulator.\n“Currently we are running some dry runs just to make sure we have the timing and everything in place,” Delgado said during the workshop. “It is open to the public. We haven’t officially launched it. Not until we have had a handful of people get on it. We are working on getting some feedback on that.”\nThis map illustrates in purple the route for McAllen’s upcoming Downtown Circulator, which is a free public transit system designed to move visitors around downtown without requiring them to constantly relocate their vehicles. It is set to launch Friday, June 19, 2026. (Courtesy: City of McAllen)\nThe idea behind the circulator is free and convenient accessibility. As of now, the city is currently testing the circulator on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. A full route takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete.\nAt this time, there is no fare.\nDelgado hopes the circulator encourages downtown visitation by reducing parking pressure, resulting in support for the local businesses that make downtown a retail destination.\nAccording to Delgado, the city plans to do an official launch this Friday.\nDelgado recognizes the circulator as an opportunity to create a seamless mobility network that connects restaurants with retail, entertainment with offices, and people with parking.\nAnd as the transit system improves flow downtown, it also flows in new funding opportunities for enhanced infrastructure investments. The circulator is the driving force behind the city leveraging Federal Transit Administration (FTA) support, says Delgado.\nIt now designates the parking garage downtown as a federally recognized “Transit Park and Ride Facility,” making the city eligible for subsidies from the FTA, according to Delgado, who says the city could get up to 50% of operating costs and 80% of preventative maintenance costs paid.\n“And we are eligible to get capital grants for improvements, remodeling, and stuff like that,” said Delgado.\nA view of an alleyway Friday, June 12, 2026, in downtown McAllen. (Delcia Lopez | dlopez@themonitor.com)\nAdditionally, the improved mobility could strengthen the area’s appeal to prospective investors, according to city management.\nTawil says there are currently “several” investors looking to open “coffee shops and restaurants” downtown.\nThe city sees the circulator as more than just a transportation project. It is one piece of a larger effort to make downtown an attractive, accessible and economically competitive commodity.\n“We certainly want to support the creative minds in the retail community thinking about moving down there,” Tawil said.\n\nHere’s the latest update:\nDowntown trolly hits the streets of McAllen this weekend\n\nThe post Free circulator to reduce parking pressure in downtown McAllen appeared first on MyRGV.com.","url":"https://myrgv.com/local-news/2026/06/15/free-circulator-to-reduce-parking-pressure-in-downtown-mcallen/","source":"MyRGV.com (The Monitor) - All News","author":"Alexandrea Bailey","publishDate":"2026-06-15T23:15:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":30,"priority":1,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmyrgv.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F061226.ALLEYWAY.-dl-001.jpg","slug":"free-circulator-to-reduce-parking-pressure-in-downtown-mcallen"},{"id":"2zbqzc","title":"Free circulator to reduce parking pressure in downtown McAllen - MyRGV.com","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiuAFBVV95cUxOR0JhcDViZGtHaFNVazhHSWRKWDFDeWRrckFKNmg3Qk5YVTFvc1hsNGdOUF8xUnFsdk0tQ2hvWmY3SVRHalRRd29FdFVuM1JhN211Wk9hWGI0YTY0Z2Y5U1Z0T0ZJZ1UyZHZQZ1p0WUdBU0RrVUVHVV92Z2k2eW5xOXQ1NEJwb2RiTjhPUkJkNVFKeklqcFFQSkUtN3pnZlhPQzlTTXV3d3hPYWp0cmk0eldRUy1ILWV...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiuAFBVV95cUxOR0JhcDViZGtHaFNVazhHSWRKWDFDeWRrckFKNmg3Qk5YVTFvc1hsNGdOUF8xUnFsdk0tQ2hvWmY3SVRHalRRd29FdFVuM1JhN211Wk9hWGI0YTY0Z2Y5U1Z0T0ZJZ1UyZHZQZ1p0WUdBU0RrVUVHVV92Z2k2eW5xOXQ1NEJwb2RiTjhPUkJkNVFKeklqcFFQSkUtN3pnZlhPQzlTTXV3d3hPYWp0cmk0eldRUy1ILWVk?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Free circulator to reduce parking pressure in downtown McAllen</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">MyRGV.com</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiuAFBVV95cUxOR0JhcDViZGtHaFNVazhHSWRKWDFDeWRrckFKNmg3Qk5YVTFvc1hsNGdOUF8xUnFsdk0tQ2hvWmY3SVRHalRRd29FdFVuM1JhN211Wk9hWGI0YTY0Z2Y5U1Z0T0ZJZ1UyZHZQZ1p0WUdBU0RrVUVHVV92Z2k2eW5xOXQ1NEJwb2RiTjhPUkJkNVFKeklqcFFQSkUtN3pnZlhPQzlTTXV3d3hPYWp0cmk0eldRUy1ILWVk?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","author":"Google News - \"McAllen\" OR \"Hidalgo County\"","publishDate":"2026-06-15T23:15:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":30,"priority":2,"image":"https://themcallen.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1560518883-ce09059eeffa%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"free-circulator-to-reduce-parking-pressure-in-downtown-mcallen-myrgvcom"},{"id":"rhee8g","title":"McAllen launches new emergency notification system","excerpt":"HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The city of McAllen announced Monday the launch of a new emergency notification system that will provide residents with real-time alerts via phone and email.
