Governor Abbott Announces Odessa Designated As Music Friendly Community
Governor Greg Abbott today announced that Odessa, having completed the multi-step certification process, has been designated as a Music Friendly Community by the Texas Music Office (TMO). The Music Friendly Community program seeks to foster music business-related economic development in Texas cities and communities.

“With support from the Texas Music Office, in 2019 the Texas music industry created more than 210,000 direct and indirect permanent jobs in communities all across the Lone Star State and generated $27.3 billion in economic activity,” said Governor Abbott. “Music Friendly Communities certified by the Texas Music Office are serious about attracting and developing the local music industry to spur job creation and economic growth. I congratulate Odessa on earning the Music Friendly Community designation, and I look forward to amplifying their continuing success.”

“Music is a great economic development tool that also enriches our lives,” said Senator Kel Seliger, who represents the Odessa area in the Texas Senate. “After all, we all have songs that elicit wonderful memories when we hear them. I’m grateful to Governor Abbott for this designation that will benefit both the businesses and the lives of Odessa residents.”

“As a lifelong Odessan, I’ve had the pleasure of sitting, standing and dancing in front of some incredible live music over the years all over our town,” said Representative Brooks Landgraf. “There must be something in this West Texas air because we are blessed with some incredibly talented singers, songwriters and musicians. From our school choirs to the bands that routinely come through Dos Amigos, there is always a song to sing in Odessa.”

“We are thrilled to become the next Music Friendly certified community in Texas,” Odessa Arts Executive Director Randy Ham said. “The Texas Music Office and other Music Friendly Communities will be a great resource for professional development for our local talent, while also allowing us to import great music from around the state!”

The Odessa community will celebrate the designation on Saturday, August 21 at the Ector Theater (500 N. Texas) immediately preceding the Aaron Watson concert at 7 pm. TMO Community Relations & Outreach Specialist Chip Adams will present the Music Friendly designation.

Odessa joins more than 20 other Texas cities that have received the official Music Friendly Community designation. These cities include Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Denton, Lindale, Stephenville, Conroe, San Angelo, Nacogdoches, Abilene, McKinney, Waxahachie, Waco, Alpine, Bastrop, New Braunfels, Victoria, Lubbock, Denison, Arlington, Brenham, Dripping Springs, Round Rock, and El Paso. Cities that are currently working through the certification process include Houston, Dallas, and Vidor.

Al Millón – Los Dos Carnales

 

Aunque soy gente, no me dejo
No me humillo y nunca agacho la mirada
Siempre a la orden pa’l desorden
Y bien pilas con todita la plebada
Sea de día o de madrugada
Aquí sí hay huevos
Hay palabra y hay respeto
Nunca andamos con ***
Siempre pa’l frente
Trabajando para darle lo mejor a mi familia
Yo no me rajo, no me espanto, voy con todo
Así me paso los días
Siempre con un tiro arriba
Y cuando hay chanza, agarramos la parranda
Para disfrutar la vida
Cuando se ofrece, a la mala respondemos
Porque no somos ***
Somos gente de valor
En el corral somos mansitos
Pero échenle un ojo al cinto
Pa’ que chequen y se peguen un quemón
Aquí se atoran por las malas, por las buenas
Aquí andamos al millón
Ay, ay, andamos al millón mi raza
Puro Dos Carnales
Y arriba la rancherada mi compa
Arriba San Pedro Coahuila, viejon
Para mis viejos, mi respeto
Agradecido yo me encuentro de por vida
Por esa crianza que me dieron
Y por darme más de lo que ellos tenían
Eso a mí no se me olvida
Si me los tientan, el corazón no me tiento
Todo sea por mi familia
Soy de la gente que se fija en la persona
Y jamás en la cartera
Pa’ los coyotes son los perros
Aquí andamos listos para lo que sea
No me anden con ***
Como ya dije, hay palabra y hay respeto
Nada más que no le mueva
Cuando se ofrece, a la mala respondemos
Porque no somos ***
Somos gente de valor
En el corral somos mansitos
Pero échenle un ojo al cinto
Pa’ que chequen y se peguen un quemón
Aquí se atoran por las malas, por las buenas
Aquí andamos al millón

Two men sentenced to 30 years in prison for Sharpstown kidnapping, rape

Two men sentenced to 30 years in prison for Sharpstown kidnapping, rape

Two Houston men have been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the kidnapping, raping, and robbing of a woman in Sharpstown in 2017, Harris County District Attorney’s Office announced Saturday.

“No one should have to go through a random act of violence like this, and my heart goes out to the victim,” Harris County District Attorney Ogg said. “She was terrorized and traumatized and still had the presence of mind to get away and seek justice.”

Martin Cruz, 42, was sentenced to 30 years in prison by a Harris County jury late Wednesday after a week-long trial. He was convicted of aggravated kidnapping for abducting a woman at gunpoint outside an apartment complex in southwest Houston, across the street from Cruz’s apartment.

Evidence presented in court showed that Cruz and Ricardo Matilde-Silvas, 34, approached the victim on March 16, 2017, and forced her into her vehicle at gunpoint. Inside the car, she was sexually assaulted and made her wear a jacket over her head. They took her to an ATM, made her take out $300, and then brought her back to Cruz’s apartment where she was again sexually assaulted. After the attack, she convinced the two men to release her, and she immediately contacted Houston Police.

Matilde-Silvas pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault for his part in the incident in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence in April. 

Assistant District Attorney Kim Nwabeke who handled the case with the prosecutor, ADA Chris Handley, told jurors during the week-long trial that the victim lived through her own horror story and came away stronger.

“She lived every young woman’s worst nightmare, being taken in the night by the monster next door,” Nwabeke said. “Now, she’s turned the tragedy into strength and is working to empower other survivors to speak out.”

The case was investigated by the Houston Police Department and prosecuted by the Sex Crimes Division of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

“We thank the jurors for their service and the prosecutors and police in this case for their work in seeing that justice was delivered for the victim and our entire community,” Ogg said. “We are grateful to them.”

Here is how to store your COVID-19 vaccine card on your phone

Photo does not have a captionWith more businesses and events beginning to require customers to show proof of their vaccine, people are trying to find easier ways to display it so you don’t have to carry it with you where ever you go. Since you’ve always got your phone with you, storing your card on your device is a good option.

On iPhones, follow these steps:

  • Create a new note.
  • Tap the camera icon.
  • Select “scan documents.”
  • Name your note “covid vaccine card” to make it easy to search for.

On Android phones, do this:

  • Open Google Drive.
  • Tape add (the + sign).
  • Hit scan.
  • When you take a photo of your card, Google Drive will save the scan as a PDF file. You can download it so you have access to it even when you don’t have a good internet connection.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announces new $100 COVID-19 vaccine incentive initiative

Harris County Judge Hidalgo held a news conference Tuesday at 12 p.m. to announce a major new public health initiative to address the ongoing COVID-19 emergency.

During the news conference, Hidalgo announced that anyone who gets their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine through Harris County Public Health will receive a $100 cash card per person, no strings attached.

In order to get the $100, people will need to sign a waiver prior to the vaccine and will need to stay in the post-vaccine waiting area for 15 to 30 minutes after receiving the vaccine, Hidalgo said.

The judge also encourages people to use the $100 to help small businesses. She encouraged residents to spend the money at a local restaurant or store in order to show support to local businesses.

Hidalgo said the incentive is effective immediately. Visit the Harris County Public Health website to learn more about the incentive or to find a vaccine location near you.

Over the past several months, the delta variant of COVID-19 has spread quickly across Harris County, straining hospital systems and disproportionately impacting unvaccinated residents. Over 98% of people currently hospitalized for COVID-19 in the Harris Health System have not been vaccinated, according to a news release from her office.

Texas preparing to take in nearly 300 Afghan refugees

Texas preparing to take in nearly 300 Afghan refugees

Thousands of Afghan refugees will be coming to the United States.

Texas is preparing to take in at least 320 refugees in the next few weeks, some of which will settle in Houston.

Interfaith Ministries For Greater Houston said 50-60 refugees are already in Houston.

“Interfaith Ministries, we resettled several families over the last couple weeks and we are expecting more families to come,” said Ali Al Sudani, Chief Programs Officer for Interfaith Ministries.

Al Sudani said the refugees first arrived at Fort Lee, Virginia before being flown to Houston. He said the organization helped them find apartments and settle into their new home. Al Sudani said they’ll also assist the refugee to learn English and find jobs.

Al Sudani was a refugee himself more than a decade ago, leaving the Middle East by way of Jordan. He said he understands what it’s like to have to move to a new country and learn a new language and way of life.

“I came here in 2009 as a refugee from Iraq,” he said. “I was working for the British and the American troops back home and because of security concerns I was threatened and had to flee Iraq.”

Interfaith Ministries is collecting monetary donations, as well as children’s clothing, toys, and gift cards for the refugees. You can learn more here: https://www.imgh.org/

The refugees have applied for special immigrant visas and will undergo security background checks and health screenings.

Refugee Services of Texas released a statement saying it “is closely monitoring the situation in Afghanistan and lending support wherever we can. We stand ready, willing, and able to work with our national resettlement partners, elected representatives, and the military to process and resettle as many people as possible.”

The images from the International Airport in Kabul are alarming.

Many Houstonians are concerned about their loved ones still in Afghanistan.

We talked to an Afghan man who moved to Houston a few years ago after working as an interpreter for the United States. Now that the Taliban has taken over, he fears for his family’s safety. They have been hiding in their home for days.

That man has filed a case to get his family out of Kabul, but since they closed the embassy, he doesn’t know how to get them out, even if it’s approved.
