difficult time of getting organized
and surviving.
"My experience and knowledge of
city government will go a long way
in helping me to organize a
permanent and lasting municipal
government in Rio Grande City.
"The Mayor occupies the highest
elective office in the municipal
government and as political head of
the city is expected to provide the
necessary leadership to keep it
moving in the proper direction.
"That is the reason I have chosen
to run for Mayor to provide that
leadership. Rio Grande City cannot
afford to waste any more time with
mayor-trainees. We need a mayor
who can organize and lay the
foundation for a successful city
government.
"Enough time has been wasted.
We need a mayor who knows how
to fulfill the legislative
responsibilities he shares with other
members of the City Council —
identifying the needs of local
residents, implementing programs
to satisfy those needs and
evaluating the extent to which
municipal services satisfactorily
reflect the policy goals of the City
Council.
"I have the experience to do this
kind of work; that is why I am
running for Mayor."
Trevino concluded, "I need the
support of all of the citizens of Rio
Grande City to establish a
successful and lasting city
government. I am asking for your
support and 1 am asking for your
vote. Vote for Dr. Bruno M.
Trevino for Mayor on Nov. 2,
1993."

There were 20 participants from Immaculate Conception Church that took part in
World Youth Day ceremonies involving Pope John Paul II in Denver, Colorado in
mid-August. The group was comprised of 14 students and six sponsors. In the top
row from left to right are Nancy Garcia, Elena Guerrero, Emilia Guerrero, Amy
Ramirez, Melissa Garza, Rosie DeLeon, Sister Martha and Juan Cantu, Jr. In the
middle row are Lorenzo Guerrero, Elvia Guerrero, Zacarias Serrato, Jr., ASphonso
Porras, Ali Gonzalez, Mauricio Garza IV, Roberto Garza, Eli Vela and Rolando
Gonzalez. In the bottom row are Angelica Lopez, Sister Melissa and Rosie Garcia.
Roberto Garza and Amy Ramirez were recognized at a prayer service/rally with
Bishop Enrique San Pedro during the pilgrimmage of 14 youth and six adults from
Rio Grande City to the recent World Youth Day ceremonies involving Pope John
Paul II in Denver. Garz? participated in a question and answer session and Ramirez
was recognized for her 'welcome chant to the Pope.
Local group attends World
Youth Day in Denver
More than 100,000 soaked but
spirited pilgrims including 20 from
Rio Grande City rocked Mile High
Stadium and the Civic Center Park
on Thurs., Aug. 12 as Pope John
Paul II clectrificd World Youth Day
participants with an appeal for hope
and Christian love.
His weekend visit sounded a
theme for Catholics to condcmn
abortion and embrace the poor and
defenseless.
"This World Youth Day has
brought us to Denver, a stupendous
setting in the heart of the United
States of America. I greet each one
of you: 'a great multitude which no
man could number, from every
nation, from all tribes and peoples
and tongues,'" said John Paul II,
quoting the book of Revelations.
"Jesus has called each one of you
to Denver for a purpose. You must
live these days in such a way that,
when the time coines to return
home, each one of you will have a
clearer idea of what Christ expects
of you."
In a meeting with President
Clinton, the pope attacked the
prevalent American view that
morality is essentially a matter of
personal choice.
"To educate without a value
system based on truth is to abandon
young people to moral confusion,
personal insecurity and easy
manipulation. No country, not even
the most powerful, can endure if it
deprives its own children of this
essential good."
These pilgrims were a part of the
Diocese of Brownsville which
included youths from Brownsville
to Roma. A total of 11 buses parted
the Rio Grande Valley from the San
Juan Shrine on Aug. 9. The trip
included a tour of Mission
Concepcion in San Antonio, an
overnight stay in Lubbock, supper
and mass with Bishop Enrique San
Pedro in Santa Fe and five eventful
days in Denver.
Two members of the group were
recognized at a prayer service/rally
with Bishop San Pedro. Roberto
Garza was recognized for his
participation in a question/answer
session and Amy Ramirez for her
welcome chant to the Holy Father.
It is the sponsors' wish that these
five extraordinary days beginning
with the welcoming mass on Day
One and concluding with the papal
mass on Day Five will bring these
youths and those of various nations
who attended greater enthusiasm and
fidelity in following Christ.
Historical Society considers
Lee House restoration
By DICK D. HELLER, JR.
Historical Society Reporter
Restoration of the Lee House on
the RGCCISD school grounds was
discussed last Wednesday by a
steering committee from the
Historical Society and Historical
Commission, the architect and local
representiative of the Los Caminos
del Rio Project.
The group, chaired by Dr. Brunc
Trevino, gave their
recommendations to R.C. Salinas,
RGCCISD representative designated
by Superintendent Ruben Saenz to
complete the project.
The steering committee has asked
to meet with Superintendent Saenz
at his convenience this next week
on the problem. The situation was

analyzed, and it was decided to start
with the foundation and get it level
first before starting on the roof.
Roascna Garcia, Roma Field
Coordinator, Los Caminos del Rio,
suggested that since the building is
a recognized historical edifice, the
Texas Historical Commission
should be notified. Mrs. Miriam
Vale, Starr County Historic
Commission, stated that she would
do so immediately.
Rugerio, who is employed by the
National Park Service through the
Rivers and Trails Conservation
Assistance Program to work with
Los Caminos del Rio, stated that
some of the NPS historians were
not certain of proof that Robert E.
Lee had stayed in the Lee House,
but did recognize that il was a
historic part of a 19th Century

border fort, and it is the only
remaining such wooden structure.
He recommended the preparation
of a brief plan calling for certain
repairs preliminary to
reconstruction, and that such
preliminary work proceed on this
plan, so that funding can eventually
be obtained for the remaining
reconstruction.
He pointed out that the Lee
House could be but the tip of the
iceberg- a preliminary to a bigger
plan, calling for the reconstruction
of Fort Ringgold for school use,
and a Rio Grande City Main Street
program, with restoration of the
historic district of Rio Grande City.
Also present were Sam Ramos,
Eulalio Carrcra, George Edgcrton,
Dick Heller, and Mona Trigo.
