Fiesta Victoria: Live music, culture and family fun at plaza

It will be a Saturday full of food, fun, and lots of live music as the first Fiesta Victoria takes to De Leon Plaza on April 5.

The event plans to take up the legacy of the successful Noche en Mexico, an annual event organized by the Victoria Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, which merged with the Victoria Chamber of Com-

merce several years ago.“We are an organization that is

going on its second year, and we felt we needed to do something along the same lines to promote our heritage, our music, and our customs,” said Chris Rivera, chair-man of La Cámara de Comercio, the event’s organizer.

Fiesta Victoria is a way to in-

crease the presence of the Camera de Comercio by hosting an inex-pensive, family-friendly day of fun in the community, said Mario Garcia, event chairman.

The event will feature barbecue, foods of all kinds, crafts, and lots of inflatable playgrounds for the kids, but the centerpiece will be

Eline “Elaine” Moya started as a records clerk with the Victoria Police Department in 1999. But through hard work and determina-tion she was promoted in January to the first Hispanic female lieu-tenant in the history of the Victoria Police Department.

As a lieutenant in the patrol division, she is often the senior officer on duty during a shift. That means many times this lady is the top cop on duty.

She credits integrity, hard work, and great mentors and role models with her rise to this senior rank.

“The inspiration that I saw when I worked as a records clerk as a civilian, there were about five females who were of-ficers,” Moya said. That’s five women out of a department of some hundred sworn officers, she noted.

UH System Regents approve plan to expand or launch 22 programs in Sugar LandUniversity of Houston System

(UHS) Regents approved a Uni-versity of Houston Sugar Land Task Force report on Feb. 26 that sets in motion plans to implement a major change in the delivery of off-campus instruction: to make the University of Houston the sole UHS institution delivering pro-grams at the Sugar Land campus.

To that end, the University is planning to expand or launch 22 programs in Sugar Land and relo-cate a large segment of its College of Technology to the campus.

Welcome Wilson Sr., task force chair and former chair of the UHS Board of Regents, said the eight-member Task Force established five recommendations to guide the planning and implementation of this initiative:• In fall 2014, the UH System

should begin implementing a multi-year plan (two to five years) through which the University of Houston will become the exclusive pro-vider of baccalaureate and graduate programs at the

Sugar Land campus, consis-tent with the UHS Board of Regents’ decision to transfer campus administration to UH. UH will continue to rely on its community college partners to deliver lower-division course work.

• In the implementation of this change, it is of great impor-tance that no current student be left stranded, that no ex-isting faculty contract be violated, and that the Uni-versity of Houston-Victoria be furnished with adequate funds to carry out its im-portant mission to become a destination university in the city of Victoria.

• The success of the UHV nursing program is highly dependent upon its facilities in Sugar Land. It is also im-portant that these programs continue to be conducted in metropolitan Houston near the Texas Medical Center. For these reasons, and con-sistent with the Sugar Land Task Force Nursing Subcom-mittee’s recommendation, this Task Force recommends that the existing nursing program at Sugar Land be transferred to the University of Houston and made part of its newly organized UH Health Science Center. This does not preclude UHV con-tinuing with certain nursing programs in Victoria or else-where.

• Over the course of the imple-mentation period, as the Uni-versity of Houston expands program delivery in Sugar

Land, UH-Victoria and UH-Clear Lake will incremen-tally cease program delivery at the campus and will have the opportunity to shift some of their programs to another UH System teaching center or deliver them fully online.

• In addition to degree pro-grams, the University of Houston should deliver se-lect certificate programs at the Sugar Land campus to meet local workforce needs.

Wilson said the changes envi-sioned in the recommendations will require careful planning to ensure that student access, degree completion, enrollment and rev-enue are maintained and that the end result of this initiative consti-tutes an improvement in services for the students, universities and communities involved.

“These recommendations are pretty bold,” said Regent Roger Welder, a native of Victoria, Texas. “I agree that these guiding princi-ples are imperative. I know there is some trepidation, naturally, among people currently operating there. It’s my expectation, and (the

board’s) expectation that imple-mentation of this plan be done in a very thoughtful and careful way. It’s clear to me that the city of Sugar Land and Fort Bend Coun-ty really want this. They’ve been waiting a long time for it. So, the timing is appropriate.”

The expansion of UH programs in Sugar Land and a correspond-ing transfer of some UH-Victoria and UH-Clear Lake programs to other locations or delivery modes must be timed and orchestrated in a way that provides continuity in course and program availability, faculty and staff resources, enroll-ment and revenue, the task force recommended.

The report also noted that the planned transition will require some level of renovation at the Sugar Land campus to accommo-date incoming UH programs and faculty, as will the shift of some UHV programs to another mode of delivery, such as fully online.

UHS Chancellor Renu Khator said the transition plan would be implemented “very methodically, very thoughtfully and very care-fully,” with a continuing focus on the best interests of students and faculty, as well as individual Sys-tem campuses.

An implementation committee led by Paula Myrick Short, senior vice chancellor for academic af-fairs, the University of Houston System, and senior vice president for academic affairs and provost at UH, will develop a recommended transition plan. The committee will include administrators from the UH System, UH Sugar Land and UH-Victoria, as well as stu-dents and faculty from UH Sugar Land and UHV. The committee is also expected to solicit input from

Boxing club breeds champions — needs partners

by Thomas Doyle, MBA

They don’t even have a roof to train under, but they are still train-ing champions at the Tuff-E-Nuff Boxing Club in Victoria.

In the back yard of 1206 E. Crestwood St., the kids and adults of Tuff-E-Nuff train warm or cold,

sunny or cloudy, rain or shine. Even so, the club has won state

and national level titles includ-ing golden gloves, silver gloves, brown gloves, and even won the Houston Open tournament in 2013.

“There’s a lot of talent out here, people don’t realize how talented

these kids are,” head coach Jessie Martinez Jr. said while observing an afternoon training session.

One of the express goals of the club is to help get kids off the street that otherwise might get into trouble, he said. The club is cur-rently seeking sponsors and other supporters to help them find a real facility, get better equipment, and ultimately provide the benefits of

boxing to more kids.Boxing teaches self-discipline,

hard work, and self-confidence, he said.

And those aren’t just benefits for boys, he added.

“I wanted to learn self-defense, so my dad told me about boxing. I got into it and wound up really lik-ing it,” said Kaely Perez, 15.

Perez recently went off to the

Junior Olympics in Reno, Nevada with a 30 and 6 fight record. She went 1 for 1 at her first appearance in that vaunted competition, which likely won’t be her last.

“My big dream is going to the Olympics,” she said.

Boxing has helped her become healthier and more confident. It has also given her a chance to

Common crime in Victoria easiest to prevent

by John Turner

If I were to ask you which crimes the residents of Victoria were most concerned about what do you think the answer would be?

What crimes are you most con-cerned about?

At approximately 600 reported incidents, burglary of a motor ve-hicle is one of the most common crimes in Victoria. It is also one of the easiest to prevent.

Many of these burglaries were crimes of opportunity, which means that the victim created an opportunity for someone to steal their belongings.

Opportunities are created by people leaving their vehicles unlocked, or if locked, leaving valuables in view of anyone walk-ing past. Items commonly stolen are purses, backpacks, laptops, GPS, and radar detectors. A large number of items including tools, ice chests, fishing gear and lawn equipment were stolen out of the beds of pickups.

Some burglars simply walk through parking lots or neighbor-hoods checking car doors. When one is found unlocked they enter the vehicle and help themselves to your belongings. Others will break

a window to make entry when something valuable is in sight.

I know we shouldn’t have to constantly worry about someone breaking into our cars and steal-ing our belongings but there are people out there who won’t hesi-tate to take advantage of us if we give them the opportunity to do so.

Preventing a car burglary is as simple as removing or hiding valuables and locking your doors. If you choose to leave valuables in your car, at least lock them in the trunk. You should also try to park in well lit areas at night and if you can, avoid parking in the street.

Don’t give someone the oppor-tunity to make you a victim. Take these simple steps to protect your-self and your belongings.

For more information please check out the Victoria Police De-partment website at victoriapd.com.

John Turner is a crime preven-tion officer with the Victoria Po-lice Department.

students, faculty, staff and the community at large.

UHS Board Chair Jarvis Hol-lingsworth said Regents trans-ferred the administrative functions of UH Sugar Land to the Universi-ty of Houston a year ago “in antici-pation of a process by which these types of recommendations would be considered.”

“We are the Regents for the UH System. Therefore, it is always, first and foremost, our responsibil-ity to do what’s in the best interests of all four campuses in the System. We’ll work closely with the com-munities involved to make sure we

live up to that standard,” he said.About the University of Houston

SystemThe University of Houston Sys-

tem is a comprehensive system of higher education institutions serving to further the intellectual capital and economic strength of the Gulf Coast region. The UH System includes the University of Houston, a nationally recognized Tier One public research univer-sity; the University of Houston-Downtown, a four-year under-graduate university expanding into graduate programs; the University of Houston-Victoria, a four-year university with undergraduate and master’s level degree programs;

and the University of Houston- Clear Lake, an upper-division and master’s level institution. The system also includes three branch campuses, UH-Clear Lake Pearl-and, UH System - Northwest and UH Sugar Land, as well as a multi-institution teaching center, UH System Cinco Ranch. In addition, the System owns and operates Houston Public Media (HPM).

travel and meet all kinds of people who share her passion for pugi-lism.

Among her fellow fans of fisti-cuffs is Joe Angel Martinez, 14, who has been fighting for the last seven years.

“Me and my dad, we would watch the pro fights, and from there I started liking boxing,” he said. “It’s helped me with every-thing mentally, physically in every way.”

Martinez trains between two to six hours a day no matter the weather. He also made his first trip to the Junior Olympics back in January.

Training elite athletes in a back yard isn’t easy, Coach Martinez said.

“If it’s in the 30s and 20s we’re out here working out. If it’s rain-

ing, we’re out here. We can’t hide from it,” he said.

They’ve been at it the last four or five years, he said, with most expenses coming from the pockets of the two head coaches.

“It’s been a struggle, but it’s worth it,” Coach Martinez said. “I wouldn’t trade them for the world.”

The club has done a lot with very little, and hopes to find sup-porters to partner with them so they can do even more, Martinez said. Tuff-E-Nuff is looking for a facility they could use to train in-doors, as well as financial and in-kind support to help upgrade their training equipment, allow them to go to bigger tournaments, and ul-timately help more kids gain the benefits of boxing.

Right now the club has about 30 to 50 kids that come in and out of the program. Some change

their lives, some fade away. Coach Martinez added that they never give up on the kids.

The club is about helping kids achieve their potential to become champions in the ring and in life, he said. The club only asks $20 per month, but doesn’t sweat the fee if the family can’t afford it.

“Some parents are involved, some just want to use us as a baby-sitting service,” he said. But either way, Tuff-E-Nuff will train any kid willing to put in the work.

Anyone interested in helping to make kids into champions through boxing are welcomed and appreci-ated. For more information or to find out how to support Tuff-E-Nuff Boxing, potential patrons can call (361) 218-6206 or find them online at Facebook.com/Tuff-E-NuffBoxingClub.

Aspiring supporters are also welcome to stop by 1206 E. Crest-wood in Victoria any afternoon to watch best of the backyard boxers in action, Coach Martinez said.

Traditional wisdom says you never talk about religion or poli-tics lest you start a fight at dinner. But this column is going to chal-lenge traditional wisdom. Politics can be approached rationally and without emotional turmoil. If you know how to approach it, that is. What follows are a few tips on how to look at politics without an emotional lens. If you ask these questions, you can make stands on positions without emotional bag-gage.

1. Who makes money from it? Most decisions are based upon economics. The old axiom of fol-low the money is fairly accurate. When evaluating where you stand on an issue, be certain to ask who stands to make a profit if laws are changed. Often times people make grand moral speeches about a cause and include phrases like “rights” and “the right thing to do,” when really they are just de-fending their own economic well being. For example, many organi-zations claim to fight racism, but see it everywhere because they make a good living telling people they should help them fight some-thing.

2. Would you trust the other

guy? When evaluating any gov-ernment policy that gives power to an executive, elected official or bureaucrat, ask yourself a simple question. Would you trust the oth-er side with that power? Politics is a pendulum that swings back and forth constantly. The simple fact is that sooner or later, the other guy will have the power that you may not want him to have. If you only trust your guy with that power, it’s probably not a good idea to give anyone that power. Lord Acton was right about how power tends to corrupt and even the best of men tend to go down a dark path when given too much of it.

3. What are the unintended consequences? Most government programs are created to resolve the problems unintentionally created by the previous government pro-

grams. Before forming an opinion on any public policy, ask “what problems could this program cause?” The law of unintended consequences will be repealed right after the law of gravity or the law established by Mr. Murphy. Trade offs are a part of life. Every good has its price, and often good intentions are severely punished. Look down the road one year, five years, and ten years and ask what the economic, moral, and political price will be for the public policy that looks really good today.

4. Who gets screwed? For anyone who benefits from a new government policy, you will find someone who loses something because of it. Before asking what

you have to gain from a new social policy, ask who has something to lose from it. Sooner or later, you will wind up in the seat of some-one who has something to lose. Ask the price up front before it bites you in the hind quarters. Sometimes today’s winner is to-morrow’s loser due to the law of unintended consequences. Take as an example raising the mini-mum wage. Today you may get a pay raise. But in the long term, as the increased cost of labor echoes through the economy, you’ll find that all the increase did was lower the buying power of the extra dol-lars you earn. Worse, it has just reduced the resources available to your retired grandmother living on her savings. Most sins are caused by short-term thinking instead of long-term vision

So there you have it. If you ask these four questions, you will be much more aware of the true motivations and consequences of the political process. Remember, power is never taken, it is always given. Many people will use sweet words, noble sentiments, and sometimes outright bribery from the public purse to convince you to hand over your power and your liberty. Ask the right questions in advance so you don’t wind up with great regrets later.

a case or a problem until it gets solved, often exceeding the expec-

tations of others.“She is not only an excellent

role model in the Hispanic com-munity, but throughout the depart-

ment and community as a whole,” he said. “She has demonstrated strong leadership qualities and ac-complishes this in an unassuming,

respectful manner in her relation-ships with others.”

Moya said she benefited in her career by having good mentors, role models and leaders. She, in turn, has tried to be the same for the people coming up in the ranks behind her and people in the com-munity in general.

She’s been particularly proud of those others she has been able to inspire. One such woman went along with Moya for several ride-alongs.

“I tried to show her and tell her as much as I could during traffic stops and helping people out,” Moya said. That young woman is now a sergeant in a regional law enforcement agency.

During her career, Moya’s also spent time talking to students and organizations to both inspire them and to teach them about law en-forcement.

“You can see how intrigued they are, both males and females, be-

cause I’m a female in a primarily male dominated field,” she said. “It’s good to see that there are peo-ple out there that look up to you, and they want to do what you are doing. It makes me feel good that I can be a role model for them and share my experience.”

Moya tries to inspire them with solid advice that applies to law en-forcement as well as life.

“Don’t give up, work hard, have a good work ethic and maintain your integrity,” she said.

She added that everyone should learn as much as they can about whatever path in life they choose to pursue, and adopt an attitude that they will never stop learning.

In the end, Moya said she is proud to accomplish the mile-stones she has in her career. She added she is looking forward to continuing to inspire young minds and do her part to keep Victoria a good and safe place to live as one of the town’s top cops.
