Yet another tragic rollover has claimed the life of an Eagle Passan.

On Tuesday afternoon a seven year-old girl was killed in an accident which occurred on FM 481, the Old Uvalde Road. Unofficial reports have revealed that the young girl was a student at Graves Elementary in the EPISD. The Sheriff's Department informed The News Gram that the accident occurred just after 5:00 P.M. in which a Pontiac Grand Prix driven by 23 Year-old Vanessa Esqueda, who was traveling with her two young daughters rolled over and was practically destroyed ending up on its side along a metal guard rail.

Continúan los decomisos de droga en la región: Agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza lograron el decomiso de un cargamento de casi 600 libras de mariguana y la incautación de una docena de rifles, en tres incidentes por separado. Denis Smith, vocero de la Patrulla Fronteriza, informó que el miércoles de la semana pasada agentes de la corporación que patrullaban cerca de Carrizo Springs, Texas le marcaron el alto a una camioneta pick up, Ford F-250, en la caja de la unidad encontraron varios costales conteniendo 496 libras de mariguana con un valor estimado en $397 mil dólares.

 

The Eagle Pass Chamber of Commerce is seeking volunteers and local groups, teams, and organizations who would like to assist in this year's clean-up campaign to contact the Chamber. The event which will be held on October 6th from 8:00 A.M. to Noon, will be a grand clean-up effort which will happen in downtown Eagle Pass and will clean up streets, sidewalks, and public parks and at the same time, will give a more positive outlook on the appearance of our city to visitors, shoppers and tourists. Sandra Martinez said that this campaign has been held in previous years and has been very successful and has also united many volunteers including many students.
