Deadline to procure health care plan fast approaching
STAFF WRITER
With just a few days left
before the March 31 deadline of the Affordable Care
Act, time is running out
for uninsured Americans
to pick a plan and avoid
penalties on next year’s tax
return.
Several Uvalde residents
have been through the
process and were gracious
enough to share their experiences of signing up for
the government-mandated
health-care plan.
Guadalupe Capuchin,
age 61, was one of the mil-
lions of uninsured Americans unable to afford
health insurance. She lived
in fear of illness or injury.
“I thought it was a good
opportunity because they
are offering good plans
through ACA,” Capuchin said. “I didn’t think
that I could afford it until
I talked to a man at the
clinic who was an insurance exchange expert.”
Capuchin was referring to a Community

staff member who went
through multiple trainings
to become a certified application counselor.

Care Act and offer their
guidance free of charge

Uvaldeans offer input on city street project
KIMBERLY RUBIO
STAFF WRITER
The city requested
citizen input, and that’s
what they got when over
25 individuals arrived
Monday for the town
meeting regarding the
proposed $24 million
street improvement project.
The meeting was held
at the El Progreso Memorial Library at 6 p.m. A
second meeting will be
held at 6 p.m. on Monday
in the Cactus Room at
the Willie De Leon Civic
Center, which is located
at 324 E. Main St.
Several individuals
expressed concern over
general maintenance
and upkeep of the streets
once the project is complete.
“In your opinion, what
could have been done to
prevent the deterioration of the streets that
we have at this point in
time?” asked city resident
Mario Cruz.
“A more aggressive
maintenance program,”
was the reply of city
manager Jennifer Garver.
Garver said the city has
planned for that program
for the future.
City resident Leilani
McClure was concerned
with the use of commercial vehicles because of
the damage they cause to
city streets.
“When did they start
putting trucks the size
of train cars on Uval-
de’s little tiny streets?”
McClure asked.
City planner Susan
Anderson said the city’s
strategic planning committee plans to address
the issue in the near
future.
“We feel like as we do
the street project we need
to go back and make sure
we have protected our
investment,” Anderson
said.
Mayoral candidate Don
McLaughlin Jr. said he
is concerned with how
severely some residents
would be affected by the
raise in taxes.
Several citizens suggested buying the equipment and training city
employees to fix the
roads in an effort to keep
cost down.
“We did look at that and
we would need between
$1.5 and $2 million in
equipment alone to get
started, and we would
need at least five employees,” Garver said.
However, city resident
and unopposed candidate
for Uvalde City Council
Margaret Palermo said
the city would have to
buy the equipment and
hire workers regardless,
in order to maintain the
streets.
“No, actually the maintenance equipment and
the road equipment
are not necessarily the
same,” Garver said.
Mayoral candidate
Henry John Yeackle IV
said he is not in favor of
having the city maintain
the streets.
“In the late ’80s and ’90s
we tried to do that. We
bought all of this equipment and we trained all
this manpower. We never
maintained the equipment, because we didn’t
have the budget to allocate for it, and we never
paid enough for the
employees... they went
to the private sector,”
Yeackle said.
Several city residents
were concerned with
placing streets above
water when prioritizing
city needs.
“I am scared to death
that we are going to put
all of our money into nice
pretty streets, and we
are going to run out of
water,” said one woman,
who did not identify herself.
Garver assured residents that the city is not
going to run out of water
and redirected the conversation. Garver asked
that everyone keep comments strictly on streets.
“I think we are beyond
talking about how we are
going to finance this city
street project. Nobody
wants to pay taxes...
Council needs to bite the
bullet and get going,”
Cruz said.
“I agree with Mario
about biting the bullet,
but council is taking
its time in making this
decision because we are
aware of people that
are having a hard time

Citizens listen Monday to a presentation regarding the city’s street improvement

paying their taxes as is,
and doubling their taxes,
well that is a pretty big
pill to swallow for some
folks,” said Councilman
John Flores. “That is why
we are being very careful,
and that is why we are
having these town meetings, because we want the
input. It’s a difficult decision.”
City residents who
missed the first meeting
are encouraged to attend
the second.
Residents unable to
attend the meetings are
urged to contact their
councilman.

Nearly 50 teams begin Little League season

Softball and baseball
enthusiasts were on hand
Saturday for opening ceremonies when children,
from 4 years old to 12 years
old, kicked off the Uvalde
Little League season.
The event was staged at
the City of Uvalde Baseball Complex located at
1509 Garner Field Road.
Jennifer Treviño, Uvalde
Little League president,
said that 47 teams participated in opening day festivities. On Saturday, for
the first time in years, the
event included exhibition
games where each payer
was allowed one hit during
scrimmage play.
Treviño said that the
turnout was better than
expected, which caused a
few parking hiccups.
“It was a wonderful
turnout, but we did have
some complaints about the
new construction,” Trev-
iño said. “There is only
one way to get into the
park and the line was past
the bridge at one point.”
Treviño said that once
everyone was inside the
complex they parked in
the back near Kolinek
Field. This left some
people with a very long
walk to get to the fields at
the front of the complex.
“The city provided golf
carts for the elderly and
disabled to transport them
from the parking area to

ceremonies and state Rep.
Tracy O. King threw out
the first pitch for the baseball ceremonies.
Assistant city manager
Joe Cardenas, Councilmen Chip King and John
Flores, and Clint Baack,
director of parks and recreation, were also on hand
to lend support.
The Uvalde Coyote and
Lobo baseball and softball
teams were recognized
during the
opening ceremonies as
well.
“Thank
you for
coming out and being
there for our Little Leaguers,” Treviño said.

She said that is just
something new that people
are going to have to get
used to, but it is better
than the alternative of
people driving all over the
complex and making it
less safe.

held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

ONE-ACT PLAY
On March 22, the Sabinal High School One-Act
Play traveled to Southwest
Texas Junior College to
compete in zone competition to determine which
two schools out of Nueces
Canyon, Brackettville and
Sabinal would advance to
district competition.
Though Sabinal didn’t
advance, a great show was
put on and some members
even won awards.
The Sabinal team claimed
honorable mention for “The
Frogs.” Actors included
Mary Escalante, Karina
Davis, Emily Whitehurst,
Angela Contreras, Marcos
Reyes and Matthew Stewart.

award went to Adrian Alejandro and Thomas Caleb

TOWN CLEAN-UP
Although it was a lastminute decision, the Sabinal Girl Scouts managed to
put together a town cleanup within a week’s time.
On March 21, in association with 35 members of
the community who joined
in to help, the Girl Scouts
cleaned North Center
Street from the railroad
tracks all the way up to the
park.
The girls decided that this
would be a good thing to do
for the community just in
time for Wild Hog Festival.
After the clean-up, the
Girl Scouts provided light
refreshments for those who
helped. The group hopes to
do a town clean up like this
quarterly throughout the
year and to have more community members join each
time.

MOURNING: Knippa balloon release to coincide with Schneider’s service in Glen Rose
FROM PAGE 1
her work ethic, professionalism and relationships
with our students will not
be forgotten and will continue to manifest in great
student success.”
He credited Schneider,
who was from Glen Rose,
with having an unparalleled worth ethic, often
putting in 70-hour work
weeks.
According to Cottrill,
Schneider was also instrumental in developing the
college readiness program the district is soon to
implement.
“...It is very sad to see
that someone that was so
instrumental in putting
that program together will
not get to see it in action.
That said, she is an amazing individual and her
impact on this school district will be long lasting
through that program and
through the deep connections that she built with
both students and staff
members,” Cottrill said.
When asked if Schneider
had family locally, Cottrill
said, “Was there family
here? Yes, there was – her
students and our staff.”
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our
mother. She was an amaz-
ing person and an inspiration to a lot of people. Her
ability to reach out and
affect those around her
allowed her to make each
life she encountered, just
a little bit better. As sad
as it makes us to lose our
mother, we are comforted
in the fact that her time on
earth was meaningful. She
is gone but not forgotten
and for that, we are grateful,” said Amy Blenkinsop
acting as a spokesperson
on behalf of Schneider’s
children.
Blenkinsop, whose three
children attend Knippa
ISD, said Schneider was
more than a principal. She
was a friend.
“She was my children’s
principal, but she was so
much more. She had an
open-door policy for her
students, her staff, and us
parents,” Blenkinsop said.
“She was passionate about
the work she did and proud
of each one of our children. She will forever be
missed and loved. We continue to pray for her family
and know in our hearts she
is watching over our kids
and our community.”
Deya Davis, whose
daughter is a seventhgrader at Knippa ISD,
said, “Ms. Schneider was
an inspiration and a role
model. Not only to her students but to her staff and
parents as well. She was
caring and always bringing out the best in her students. Knippa has lost an

questions to ask, because
she knew once she got
going she would forget
important subjects to ask
about.
“I had a lot of questions
and he was very courteous
and informative,” she said.
“He set me up with different plans, and we compared
them all. I was able to make
a selection that best fits my
needs, and I think it will be
very beneficial to me in the
future.”
Her sons have offered to
pay for her insurance for
her, which she said is very
affordable although she
declined to comment on the
exact amount of her payments.
She had a pre-existing
condition, which she was
afraid would make it hard
to find a plan.
“I had pre-existing conditions, but they will be
covered,” Capuchin said. “I
won’t have to worry about
not being able to afford the
tests I need; they cover prescription medicine and lab
work and referrals to other
places to get scans and
other costly tests.”
Her advice to people who
have yet to sign up is to “get
all your ducks in a row.”
She recommends seeing
the certified application
counselors at CHDI.
“They devote time to
you and don’t rush you. I
feel that is something very
important to have. It is a
great benefit for us all to
have some sort of health
coverage.”
Bertha Ramirez, age 62,
did not qualify for a health
care plan when she applied
because she did not make
enough money to afford a
plan.
“At the time, I didn’t
have a job, so I didn’t have
enough income to qualify,”
Ramirez explained.
Ramirez said she is too
young to qualify for Medicare and because Texas
did not approve Medicaid
expansion she cannot get
insurance that way.
“I was really excited at
first because I am a fan of
Obamacare and I think it
can help people that need
it,” Ramirez said. “As soon
as I find a job, I am going
to reapply and get a good
plan.”
She has had Type 2 diabetes since 2004, which makes
it difficult to find a private insurance plan that is
affordable.
She stays positive that she
will find a job soon and get
the coverage she needs; she
lost her job just a couple of
months before she tried to
sign up.
She commended CHDI for
the help they provided her
throughout the process.
“I do know that Mr.
[Donald] Alejandro with
Our Health was very helpful and knowledgeable,” she
said. “He explained to me
why I didn’t qualify now,
and told me that I could
qualify in the future once I
have a job, which I understand.”
Even though she could
not find coverage personally, she is happy for those
that the Affordable Care
Act has helped.
“I am very appreciative
of Brackettville, D’Hanis,
Uvalde and Sabinal independent school districts,
along with the Education
Service Center for Region
20, for sending out their
counselors and crisis intervention teams to support
our students and our staff
during this difficult time,”
Cottrill said.
“There is an outpouring
of support from neighbors,
parents, community members and other educators,
and we are very grateful
for that.”

ever, brought those plans to
an abrupt halt.
On Dec. 4, 2012, Maldonado was diagnosed with
breast cancer.
“When you hear ‘cancer’
it makes you think, ‘that’s
it,’” Maldonado said,
adding that she was reluctant to share the devastating news with her family
and co-workers. Still,
her supervisor, city code
enforcer Jamie Johnson,
suspected something was
wrong.
“He said to me, ‘You
remember everything. You
keep me in line, but lately
you haven’t been yourself.’”
Maldonado said that after
learning the news, Johnson
and the city’s administration were nothing but supportive and understanding.
“He [Johnson] was great.
He told me I was going to be
fine. That is when I decided
that I wasn’t going to sulk
and wallow in this. I was
not going to let this get me
down.”
Maldonado began chemotherapy treatments in late
December 2012.
“I would go every three
weeks on a Monday, and I
would be out Monday and
Tuesday and be back at
work on Wednesday. That
was the routine for 11 treatments,” Maldonado said.
“Then for radiation, I was
out for about an hour and
then came to work right
after.
“My mom and dad went
with me to my first treatment. I was sitting there,
trying to be strong for
them, when I get a text
message from my niece,
who is in the Marines and
stationed in California. She
said, ‘Way to go Tia. We are
behind you.’”
“I just started crying. It
was really encouraging
to know that even though
my family is spread out, I
still had their support and
encouragement.”
Once treatment was
complete and Maldonado
was back on her feet, she
decided it was time to finish
what she started.
“I told Jamie I was ready
and he was like ‘go for it,’”
she said. So in February,
Maldonado attended the
five-day training course
in Lubbock. Maldonado
reviewed state rules, regulations and procedures.
After passing the state
exam, Maldonado was
issued a certificate in
March. She is now a code
enforcement officer in
training. In June, she will
have completed that training and will officially be a
code enforcement officer
for the city of Uvalde.

UHS girls tame Mustangs for 2-0 win
The Uvalde Lobos scored
twice in the first half and
went on to record a 2-0 bidistrict soccer victory over
the San Antonio Jefferson
Mustangs Monday night
at the San Antonio ISD
Spring Sports Complex.
With their bi-district victory, Coach Alan Hughes’
Lobos now have a season
record of 12-5-6.
The Lobos will face the
undefeated and stateranked Alamo Heights
Mules, 19-0, in a regional
second-round playoff
game scheduled to be
played in Uvalde tomorrow, beginning at 7 p.m. in
the Honey Bowl.
Playing before a large,
loud crowd of Uvalde fans
at San Antonio Monday,
the Lobos got on the scoreboard just over 14 minutes
into the Jefferson contest
when Ana Gonzalez hit on
a kick from about 15 yards
out.
About 12 minutes later,
Lauren Chacon scored on
a penalty kick to put the
Lobos up 2-0.
Chacon’s kick came after
a Jefferson defender was
red-carded for intentionally stopping the ball from
going into the goal with
her hand.
On a corner kick by the
Lobos, Josslyn Guzman
placed the ball in front of
the goal.
Chacon headed a shot
toward the goal, but the
Jefferson defender used
her right arm to knock the
ball away from the goal
and drew a red-card foul
for her effort.
Ahead by a score of 2-0
at the end of the first half,
the Lobos relied on good
defense to secure the bidistrict win.
The Lobos kept pressure on Jefferson senior
goal keeper Lesly Valdes
throughout the second
half, but were not able to
add to their lead.

UVALDE LEADER-NEWS
Students share memories of beloved principal
THE FOLLOWING was compiled by Suzie
Carroll, Leader-News correspondent for Knippa
Independent School District.
Our hearts are heavy
in Knippa this week. The
school and community lost
a very special person in
the tragic death of principal and counselor Merlyn
Schneider.
She was much more
than just a title – she was a
source of encouragement
to students and staff alike;
she was a proud and loving
mother and daughter, and
she was a person who saw
and believed the best in
people.
She gave of herself tirelessly on behalf of the students whom she loved so
much. They kept her going,
and her care, concern, and
love for them is what will
keep them going.
It will keep us all going.
She would have wanted it
that way.
The following thoughts
are from students at
Knippa as they reflect and
share what Ms. Schneider
means to them. I believe
their words echo the
thoughts of many.
KARINA TREVIÑO
Ms. Super Woman, where
do I begin? You made me
feel like I was your own
child. The thing I will
remember most about you
is your smile.
Every time that I walked
by your office, I would look
to see if you were there just
to say a simple “hi.” I would
always get a smile and a
wave. You helped me in my
darkest days, days when I
thought about giving up.
One thing that I remember was when I was having
a bad day and you said,
“The day’s almost over;
keep going.” I think about
that every day.
You are gone, but not forgotten.
MORGAN SEWELL
“Funny how the good
ones go too soon, but the
good Lord knows the reasons why… I guess.” (Luke
Bryan, “Memorial Song.”)
Thank you for all of the
amazing advice you gave
me. You will be forever
missed. Spread your wings
and fly, like I always knew
you wanted to. Save me a
spot up there.
ASPEN WILLIAMS
Ms. Schneider really
made a big difference at our
school and in our lives. She
will always have a place in
my heart.
I knew that I could always
go to her for anything.
She was family to me. I
will always remember her
smile. She was a beautiful
and wonderful woman.
RYAN COX
Ms. Schneider was the
sweetest, kindest, most
loving woman you would
ever meet. Not only did
she care about her job, she
cared about us, the students. Her smile brought
smiles to others, and
she will always be in our
hearts.
XAVIER REYES
Ms. Schneider was a great
person. She treated us like
we were her own children.
She helped when we were
in need. She was there
when we were in our dark
hour or when we needed
some guidance.
She helped me a lot in my
life. She pushed me to be a
better student. When I was
in trouble with my grades,
she would say,“Study
hard, and do your make-up
work.”
She also helped me when
I went through a big hole
in my life. She told me the
words, “Everything is going
to be okay. You will get
through this.”
Ms. Schneider should
not have died this way. She
should have died like God
wanted it to be – through
old age. But, I also think
that she is not gone. She
is still watching all of us
today.
DADE TURNER
Ms. Schneider was a very
kind woman. She always
had a smile on her face. She
would look for the best in
everyone, no matter who it
was. She would never give
up on anyone. She was a
very, very nice person and
everyone in Knippa will
miss her very much.
BAILEY WIMBERLY
I came to Knippa in fifth
grade when Ms. Schneider
was still a counselor. When
I first got to Knippa, she
helped me adapt. I did not
have a counselor in my last
school. I had no one to look
up to or to help me.
She was very nice – the
best counselor that anyone
could have. I have three
words to describe her: supportive, loving, and encouraging.
When I heard that she
was going to be our principal, I was happy. I knew she
would always be there for
us in our time of need. I am
so sorry about what happened.
She will forever be a part
of our school and everyone’s heart, including mine.
She is now a beautiful angel
watching over us. She will
never be forgotten.
CARLY JIMENEZ
God has gained another
beautiful angel. Thank you,
Ms. Schneider, for believing
in all of us here at Knippa
High. You have given us the
strength to want to become
successful in life.
You have been there for
it all. You’ve witnessed the
tears and the laughter of
every student. You were an
amazing human being, and
because of you, my life at
Knippa ISD has been amazing.
Your smile and personality made you a second
mother to all of us. I’m
more than grateful to have
had the honor of knowing
you, and I know that you’re
making God smile up there;
you always knew how to
put a smile on our faces.
It truly does take a little
more to be a Rockcrusher.
Ms. Schneider, you taught
us that.
We are going to make this
world a beautiful place in
your honor. Rest in paradise. We love you.
understanding, caring, and
more than words can ever
describe. She can never be
replaced, and I’ll miss her
very much. I love you, Ms.
Schneider.
MCKAIA BARNES
Ms. Schneider will be
remembered with love and
kindness. She was one of
the joys of coming to school
each day. She was always
there for students. Her
spirit was so bright.
I can’t believe she is gone.
I loved her dearly and will
never forget her or the
opportunities she has given
me.
RYAN ESQUIVEL
I am so sorry for the loss
of Ms. Schneider. She was a
loving, caring, and helping
woman. She always helped
me on my school work, and
she would always try to
help me bring my grades
up.
She was there when I
needed to talk to somebody.
It hurts. My prayers are
with her family.
She’s in a better place
now, looking down on us
all. May she rest in peace.
ALYSSANDRA MENCHACA
Death – to describe it is
hard, to comprehend it is
harder, and to experience
it is almost unfair. It rolls
off the tongue shaky and
heavy and creates a vile
burn in the heart like an
acid.
To some, it creates an
atmosphere in which the
oxygen is amiss and catching your breath is almost
impossible. It leaves you
with an anchored heart
that can cause you to sink
into arbitrary blackness.
To those unable to comprehend the toll it has created in their lives, it often
leaves them in a confusing
daze in which to wonder
why – why her, why him,
why this hurt, why me – is
almost inevitable.
The rules of life, in order
to survive, are as follows.
Be fearless in everything
you do. Believe in yourself
when no one else does, and
believe in others.
In the darkness, there is
light; in the light, there is
darkness. Find both, and
make something out of the
good, the bad, and the ugly.
Leave and create memories.
Love with all of your
might; love yourself, and
love others. Always know
that life is too short to be
angry, ungrateful, and miserable; live to the fullest.
Merlyn Schneider lived
by these rules; she saw a
light in everybody that we
ourselves would have never
seen without her. Her heart
is forever purple, and she
has left her heel prints on
our hearts and everywhere
that she has been.
We must know that in
times of hurt – especially
when they hit home – we
must unite in our downfall and build ourselves
up because in the end,
that’s what she would have
wanted.
CONCLUSION
These students’ words
reflect the thoughts of
many. We have lost a wonderful person, but Merlyn
Schneider will not be forgotten. She loved and was
loved.
She will be missed.
ALLISON COOPER
I loved Ms. Schneider.
She was amazing, sweet,

WAR: Woman reportedly bites daughter for interfering in 30-participant fight
FROM PAGE 1
walking into the yard, and
when they saw him one
guy told another ‘Do something and I’ll give you $40.’
“My stepson told them
‘I don’t want to fight you
because you don’t fight
fair and you pulled a knife
on me earlier.’”
Jessica Ojeda said her
stepson is a West-Sider.
She believes something
occurred earlier in the
day between him and the
neighbors, who she said
belong to a gang referred
to as the Disciples, but she
said she was not sure as to
what happened.
“That is when they came
into my yard. They all
started jumping my stepson – grown men hitting
him. My husband tried to
pull them off his son and
then they started beating
him up,” Jessica Ojeda
said.
She said that as she
attempted to call 9-1-1, her
neighbor Lizzeth Cortez
approached her and began
hitting her.
Jessica Ojeda said she
pleaded with Cortez to
stop hitting her because
she had children inside of
her home.
Jessica Ojeda said she
was crying and asking dis-

patchers for help.
“I kept saying ‘Help me.
There is a big riot and they
are hitting my husband.
Someone needs to get over
here.’”
Jessica Ojeda said
Corina Cortez, who she
said is the daughter of
Lizzeth Cortez, was yelling
at her mom to stop hitting
Jessica Ojeda.
“She was in the middle
of us and kept saying,
‘Mom, let her go.’”
Jessica Ojeda said
Lizzeth Cortez then bit
Corina Cortez.
According to Detective
Adrian Gonzales, when
officers arrived at the
scene everyone involved
fled and multiple vehicles
were abandoned. However,
police were able to arrest
eight individuals, including Jessica Ojeda.
An investigation is
being conducted by police.
“When the cops showed
up they arrested me and I
was telling them to listen
to the 9-1-1 recording
because I was the one that
called them for help,” Jessica Ojeda said.
“I didn’t fight back. I
asked for help,” Jessica
Ojeda said.
She reiterated that neither she nor her husband
are affiliated with any
gangs.
“My husband works and
so do I. My stepson is a
West-Sider, but I am not in
a gang and neither is my
husband. I don’t condone
that.”
Three other people were
arrested Sunday afternoon
after police responded to
a report of criminal mischief also in the 500 block
