My Items

(Written for the Harlingen Independent School District Media and Public Relations department) Commissioner Julian Alvarez III, representing Labor on the three-member Texas Workforce Commission, appointed by Governor Greg Abbott in 2016, grew up in Harlingen in the Fair Park neighborhood. He attended Bonham and Bowie Elementary schools and played football at Gay Junior High School. While attending Harlingen High School (HHS), he was a letterman in baseball. He graduated from HHS in 1982. His parents didn’t expect him to go to college after graduation. They were hard workers (his father from La Feria sold cars for more than 25 years at Boggus Ford and his mother from Harlingen worked as a bank teller) but they had not attained higher education. The Commissioner's decision to attend college was part of what he calls “mirror association” – his close childhood friends Roberto Gallaga (now an Athletic Coordinator/Athletic Teacher at Memorial Middle School in Harlingen) and Daniel Araiza (now Principal at Secondary Alternative Center in Harlingen) went to Texas A&I University in Kingsville, and he followed suit after briefly attending Texas Southmost College. The Commissioner had to pay for college on his own so he worked as a custodian at The Sportsman in the summers while his father helped by providing his sales commissions when he could. The Commissioner was the first and only member of his family to attend and complete college, earning his Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education degree from Texas A&I. His professional career started at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) in Harlingen. He also worked as a highway patrolman for the Texas Department of Public Safety. He returned to TSTC as their Director of College Information, where he was responsible for getting students in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) interested in the TSTC programs and support services. He then made the leap into the political arena by serving as the Texas Regional Director for U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. In that position, he championed legislative and policy issues related to south Texas. He also served as President and CEO of the Rio Grande Valley Partnership where he coordinated programs to advance economic development and employment opportunities. He was appointed to the Texas Workforce Commission in 2016 and has been extended by Governor Abbott through February 2023. As Commissioner, he is responsible for representing the interests of nearly 14.5 million working Texans, the second-largest skilled workforce in the United States, second only to California. During the pandemic the Commissioner informed me that more than 70 companies moved to Texas. The Commissioner was in Harlingen recently presenting Jobs & Education for Texans (JET) grant checks to Santa Maria Independent School District and the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District. When asked what the checks provide, he explained that the funds enable training for students interested in welding (or other industries like auto body and healthcare) with welding stations and virtual reality (VR) glasses. For the students interested in healthcare, they can use a simulator to draw blood or even use a mannequin to simulate childbirth. This unique kind of training allows students to learn right away if the job they believe they wanted is a match or not. Students who complete this training are then able to move on to jobs that require specific certifications and credentials. When I asked the Commissioner what advice he would give to students, he said success doesn’t “necessarily require a four-year degree.” Many of the demanding occupations require industry credentials and other forms of certifications. Another saying he likes to tell young girls is “ if you can see it, you can be it ,” meaning visualize yourself in the job you want, whether it be in coding or Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM)-related fields, and you can make it a reality. The Commissioner informed me that kids in the RGV have many opportunities now and are excelling at the regional, state, and even national levels when competing in such contests as FIRST Robotics. Overall, he said “who you surround yourself can pretty much tell you how you are going to be in the future. Find positive people and be around them.” The Commissioner continued, “be humble with your success that you are going to have in the future” and continue to love your family. Another of his favorite sayings is: “Remember when you wanted everything you have today,” which is a reminder to stay humble and be grateful for what you have and the hard work it took you to get there.

When I told my 8-year-old daughter about the new rage room in Harlingen, Out-RAGE-Us, she wanted to go immediately. Out-RAGE-Us, "the original STX rage room" opened in Harlingen on July 16, 2021. They started with one rage room on opening day, but quickly expanded to two rage rooms, with a new paint splatter room already in the works. I went to their website to make a reservation. They currently have three options: BYOB Bring Your Own Breakables - 15 minutes for $15 per person Regular Session - 20 minutes for $30 per person Big Bang Session - 45 minutes for $50 per person We chose the Regular Session and paid in full to reserve our spot. (Kids are $5 less so I was refunded $5 after our session.) When we arrived, we signed the waiver (or you can save time by filling it out online). We waited for a few minutes while they were cleaning up the room from the previous appointment. We were taken to the back to get suited up with jumpsuit, goggles, construction hats, and gloves. We were asked to choose two items each to use in the rage room. Choices included hammers, baseball bats, and golf clubs. (Pro tip: the golf clubs worked the best for us, doing the most damage!) Once we got into our rage room, we were given some safety instructions and were asked not to hit the walls directly, although we could throw things against them. We were provided with two crates of breakables (plates, glasses, coffee cups, old radios, etc.). Then the timer began and we went for it! I had never seen my daughter like that! She destroyed everything, lol. And I could tell she was having an excellent time. It's hard to think that little kids have stress, but with the challenges of the pandemic, virtual learning, and lack of socialization during Covid, I couldn't blame her! About halfway through our session, the staff asked if we wanted water to drink. I am glad they did because with the jumpsuit and other items we had to wear, we got hot quickly. We took a brief water break and then continued. We had wanted them to record video of us, but the video was only set up in one of the two rooms. I believe they are working on take-home videos for an added cost. I was able to make a quick video of her destroying an old TV. Overall, we had a blast! It was an awesome way to relieve stress. Where else can you break stuff and not get in trouble? My daughter said she wanted to come back again! If you are sensitive to strobe lighting or loud music, this activity might not be for you. Out-RAGE-Us The Original STX Rage Room 802 E. Harrison Harlingen TX 78550 956-434-8005 They are open 5 pm to 11 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; and 3 pm to 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday (closed on Sunday and Monday).

Art Night is an opportunity for creatives to showcase their skills, whether it be music, paintings, crafts, or jewelry. For more details, follow Harlingen Art Night on Instagram .

We discovered the Alpaquita Ranch in Raymondville, Texas in the spring of 2021. It is a one-of-a-kind experience where you can walk an alpaca, feed them, pet them, and pose for pictures with them. Typical alpaca tours at other properties do not allow you to get up close and personal with the alpacas. Alpaquita Ranch only charges $25/person for 1 and a half hours (previously 45 minutes) of this amazing activity! Go to their website ahead of time to reserve your spot. When you arrive, your tour guide will provide some basic information about alpacas. You must sign a waiver before the tour can begin, as the alpacas may spit or kick. You will learn the correct and safe way to walk an alpaca to minimize any kicking/injuries. The staff can take pictures of you interacting with the alpacas if you ask them and will share the photos with you at the end of the tour. My daughter and I have gone four times now (in March, May, and December 2021 and June 2022). We just love it! It is an awesome way for your family or you and your date to have a unique experience together and have fun.

I've got three words for you: breakfast charcuterie board. My daughter and I went to Chyann's Specialty Treats this morning to try their new brunch offering. We ordered the personal breakfast charcuterie board to share. My daughter is picky, so I thought she would only eat the pancakes, but I wanted her to have some options. She ate nearly everything! She loved the eggs, sausage, pancakes, waffles, and fruit. The only thing she didn't try was the bacon, so thank goodness I got to savor the thick-cut bacon by myself! For two adults, I would suggest ordering the shareable board for 2. We also ordered chocolate-covered strawberries (special for Mother's Day) for dessert. We finished everything; it was all so delicious. My daughter rated them "infinity" stars! Chyann's Specialty Treats is a family-owned business. Josie is the owner and she runs it with her daughter, Chyann. Miguel "Chip" was our server, who was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself was clean and decorated with a cute pig theme. We're thinking of starting a new mother-daughter tradition of eating brunch here every Saturday morning! Chyann's Specialty Treats 110 E. Jackson (new location as of June 2022) Harlingen TX 78550 956-496-2454 Brunch is served on Saturday (8 am to 1 pm) and Sunday (9 am to 1 pm); also open for breakfast and lunch 8 am to 3 pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) Dining options: dine in, outdoor dining coming soon Chyann's Specialty Treats on Facebook

(THIS EVENT WILL NOT BE HELD FOR 2022.) Big Red's Ranch of San Benito is known for their awesome family events such as Easter at the Ranch, Fall Family Days, and Christmas at the Ranch. Even during Covid last year, they had a drive-thru light show in April 2020. My daughter and I attended and actually teared up at the beautiful message of hope, which we desperately needed to hear at such a time of uncertainty. This year, they are excited to announce the Christmas Lights of Hope show and Drive Thru event starting on Wednesday, December 1, 2021. You will choose your show time (as early as 6:15 pm or as late as 9:45 pm) and arrive 30 minutes before it. As you arrive you will check in. You will tune your radio station to 87.5FM to listen to Christmas music and hear instructions while in line. You can purchase hot chocolate ($2 for one 12-oz. cup or $6.50 for four cups; marshmallows and whipped cream included) and kettle corn ($6 for one bag or $10 for two bags). There will be a fun pre-show as cars arrive, and then the main show will begin and last 12 to 15 minutes. It’s a scripted show featuring their puppet mascot Big Red, some talking Christmas trees, and a young talking light bulb. There will be lights choreographed to Christmas music and a fun encouraging message. Then you will drive through the ranch's mile-long path of lights. They have added 100,000 computer-controlled pixels (technically 300,000 lights). All of the pixels will be set to music, which you can hear from your car's radio when you switch to 92.1 FM. As part of the drive-thru experience, they have added a game. You can count the number of snowflakes and elves you see. There will be a prize at the end of the drive for the ones who guess correctly. To prevent overcrowding, long lines, and traffic jams, they are selling a limited number of tickets per show and only selling tickets to the Christmas Lights of Hope show online. No tickets will be available at the door. Cost is $20 per car. Purchase tickets for the Christmas Lights of Hope show For those who would rather experience a fun-filled event outside of their cars, the Christmas at the Ranch event is for you. It includes canoes, hay rides, petting zoos, big inflatable slide, carnival games, and much more.
