Fourteen Victoria College Law Enforcement Academy cadets were honored on May 16 at the Leo J. Welder Center for the Per-forming Arts for completing VC’s 94th Basic Peace Officer Certifica-tion Class.

Victoria College President Da-vid Hinds welcomed guests to the ceremony. The Victoria County

Sheriff’s Office Color Guard pre-sented the colors, and Justin Surb-er, senior patrol officer for the Vic-toria Police Department, was the keynote speaker for the event.

Class leader Paul Leal of Victo-ria was the student speaker.

“Throughout your careers, you are going to run into numerous

people, some great and some not so great,” Leal told his fellow ca-dets. “Learn something from all of them. The bad ones will show you all the wrong ways to treat people. The great ones will show you how to lead from the front and always lead by example.”

John Enriquez of Victoria was named the class valedictorian.

Laurel Honer of Victoria received the John Baylor Award for Out-standing Achievement. The award is named in honor of the former Victoria Police Department officer and given to the “most outstand-ing student” as selected by class instructors.

Other graduates honored at the event were Brian Gann, Jayde Walters, Ian Perritano, Alejan-dro Gonzalez, Jaramillo Avila, Michael Ramirez and Alexander Garcia, all of Victoria; Emanuel Herrera of Port Lavaca; Norman Saenz of Cuero; John Constante of Beeville; and Lee Jordan of Seadrift.

Successful completion of the Basic Peace Officer Certification Class allows students to take the Texas Commission on Law En-forcement (TCOLE) examination to become a certified peace officer in Texas.

VC offers two academies a year – one during the fall semester and another during the spring semes-ter. Both academies are held Mon-day through Friday with classes meeting 8 to 10 hours a day.

Improving communities one party at a time

by Officer John Turner

Need an excuse to throw a party on a Tuesday? Here’s one-National Night Out. With one simple event, you can help improve police/com-munity partnerships, promote crime prevention efforts, build camaraderie within your neigh-borhood and let everyone know that you’re taking a stand against crime.

In 1984 National Night Out was created to do just that. Introduced

as “America’s Night Out against Crime”, citizens were asked to show their support by turning on their porch lights and participating in a symbolic front porch watch. The inaugural event attracted 2.5 million people in 400 communities across 23 states.

Fast-forward to today and Na-tional Night Out is bigger and bet-ter than ever. Now celebrated by almost 40 million people through-out the United States, with events that include block parties, bar-

beques, parades and visits from first responders all done to im-prove community relations and re-duce crime in the community.

Although National Night Out for the rest of the world is recog-nized on the first Tuesday in Au-gust, We in Texas, have our own

date, which will be here before you know it. The first Tuesday in October, this year October 1st is National Night Out in Texas.

The Victoria Police Department Crime Prevention Unit is encour-aging residents throughout the area, to participate in this great

community-building event. Last year we had 29 registered parties within Victoria, this year we hope to have a lot more. You can do as much or as little as you choose. Some parties are huge, with streets blocked off and entire neighbor-hoods joining in the action

What is creativity? How do you define it? Can you learn it or are you born with it? How do you cultivate a creative mind?

Do you want to teach your kids to be creative thinkers?by Dr. Quintin Shepherd

These are big questions and the

answers are important. Countless books have been written on the

subject. We all heard that we lose our creativity the older we get, but I think we do that to ourselves. I’m not convinced there is a biologi-cal reason for this. There are tips

and tricks to get your mind into a creative state. There are some commonalities in cultivating a cre-ative mind and there is also some uniqueness for everyone. I think

it’s important we help cultivate a creative mind for our students and our adults at Victoria ISD. That is part of the reason we created a “director of innovation” position in this past year. Creativity exists in the “space in between”, which is part of the reason I like task forces. Lots of people with diverse knowledge bases come together and will always find space in be-tween where new ideas can grow.

I recently wrote a post on Linke-dIn about impedance and energy flow. Here is a quick recap of that post: Impedance is a measure of how a system resists the inflow of energy. A system can be changed to accept energy more efficiently by adding something called and impedance matcher. Machines de-pend on impedance matchers to move energy from one part of the system to another (ex. Automo-bile transmission, transformers, engines, etc.) A trumpet bell is the same principle (in reverse). With-out the bell, much of the sound wouldn’t be able to couple with the air. I’m not aware of anyone in leadership or organizational theory who has applied the concept of im-pedance matchers to our work, but effective leaders have an intuitive sense about these things. Find-ing the key impedance matchers to transfer energy from one part of our organization to another, to magnify energy when appropriate, or dampen energy if necessary is key to managing organizational change. Start looking for it and you’ll find it everywhere.

It was a short post and I got some interesting feedback from my network on LinkedIn. There is nothing inherently insightful about this post, I wrote it just to see if anyone in my network could point me to any reading that con-nected this concept from the field of engineering to organizational theory or leadership because that is what I’m interested in reading right now. Lately, I’ve been read-ing a lot about various engineering concepts and relating that new in-formation back to what I already know and do a lot (leadership and education). I am certain every one

of you reading this experience creative insight nearly every day. I share the post above and my ex-perience with “creative insight” only to make a point about creativ-ity for our students. Creativity for adults and kids alike is a bit like a school playground. If we commit ourselves to becoming an expert in just one area, it is a like a play-ground with only a set of swings and nothing else. When we pursue our diverse and changing interests, passion and genius; we are filling up our mental playground with all kinds of ideas we can play with. In most instances, creative insights have come from people who can draw from any number of interests and find the spaces in between. This is where creativity tends to peak and ideas spark.

Back to the questions that start-ed this article, how can a parent cultivate a creative mind in their child? Help them explore their in-terests and curiosities. Ask them what they are interested in. Ask them what they want to know more about. We don’t need to pin them down to a job or career interest or even a “passion”. If they have an interest, help them build a playground of knowledge. Then encourage them to make the time and space to play with ideas around the stuff they are interested in. It’s just that simple. The more we cultivate a mind to learn new things and then play with those ideas, the more insightful and cre-ative our kids become. Enjoy the rest of your summer, go be cre-ative and we’ll see you soon!

UHV makes online teacher certification program more affordable, streamlined

Area residents who already have a bachelor’s degree in another field but have always wanted to be a teacher now have an option to make that dream a reality through the updated online VOICE pro-gram at the University of Houston-Victoria.

The UHV School of Educa-tion, Health Professions & Human Development’s VOICE program started in 2003, but the univer-sity recently revamped the online program to make it more afford-able and give students the option of applying course credits toward earning a master’s degree. Stu-dents participating in the program can earn a teaching certificate in as little as a year.

“Texas is faced with a short-age of teachers, and VOICE helps those who want to teach receive quality preparation in a short time so they can be ready to move into the classroom and make a positive impact on students,” said Fred Lit-ton, dean of the school.

To participate in the program, students must have a bachelor’s degree and pass the Texas Pre-Admission Certification Test. Stu-dents also must have a GPA of at least 2.75 in the last 60 hours of their college work or as an over-all GPA. In addition, Students must pass a criminal history back-ground check through the Texas Department of Public Safety and an interview with UHV’s educa-tion faculty.

A major change the education school made to the VOICE pro-gram was to make it more afford-able. Students can earn their teach-er certification in as little as a year

for $3,750, not counting books and supplies.

In addition, the school adjusted VOICE so that 12 of the 18 credit hours required for the program can be used toward three new Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction concentrations: early childhood to eighth grade, higher education and secondary educa-tion, and English as a Second Lan-guage/Teaching English to Speak-ers of Other Languages.

“The program is a real advan-tage for professionals who already have a bachelor’s degree because it doesn’t force them to go back to do more undergraduate work – rather, they take graduate-level courses online,” said Mary Lasater, assis-tant professor of curriculum and instruction, and coordinator of the VOICE and graduate curriculum and instruction programs. “This way, they already have started on the path to earning a master’s de-gree.”

As students go through the VOICE program, they have two options for the practicum portion. They can do 66 days of student teaching, or they can find a paid internship that will allow them to work as classroom teachers for a full year while also completing the last two courses in the program. Interns will be evaluated and ad-vised by supervisors from UHV, many of whom are former educa-tion professionals and administra-tors.

“The primary purpose of the VOICE program is to bring new teachers into the classroom,” La-sater said. “These changes will en-able students to step into teaching

positions with confidence and at the same time set them up for fu-ture growth through graduate stud-

ies. We always want to prepare educators for success, and these changes will help us do that.”

To learn more about the pro-gram, contact Lasater at (361) 570-4335 or [email protected].

LA MASACRE DEL TAJ. Siguiendo la línea de películas que apuntan a revivir ataques terroris-tas como Vuelo 93 y 22 de Julio;

Hotel Mumbai comienza con la premisa incómoda de convertir un incidente terrorista real en material para una película de suspenso cru-

elmente dramatizada. La película, está inspirada en

un documental llamado “Surviv-ing Mumbai”, que transmite es-tos eventos desde los puntos de vista de invitados y miembros del personal del Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel, uno de los dos ho-teles de lujo a los que atacaron los terroristas, y donde más de 30 mu-rieron durante el asedio.

Una pareja de turistas extranje-ros, interpretados por Nazanin Bo-niadi (Homeland) y Armie Ham-mer (Call me By Your Name), dejan a su bebé recién nacido en una habitación del hotel Taj con la niñera (Tilda Cobham-Hervey) para disfrutar de una lujosa cena en el restaurante. El lujo del Hotel

y el mundo detrás de las paredes queda retratado en unas inteligen-tes secuencias que sirven de base para establecer el escenario del terror que se avecina.

Un Ruso llamado Vasili (Jason Isaacs) disfruta su cena hablando

de lo mucho que quiere pasar la noche con escorts locales. Los empleados heroicos del hotel in-cluyen al jefe de cocina y un devo-to camarero interpretado por Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) que

se presenta a trabajar ese día sin el calzado adecuado, situación que es imperdonable en un hotel como el Taj. Anthony Maras, haciendo su primer largometraje, entrelaza es-

tos hilos con precisión y claridad. La Pareja, La niñera, El cocinero, El Camarero y El ruso así como otros personajes secundarios, se encontrarán en esta horrible situ-ación transmitiendo un sentido im-

presionante del diseño del hotel, la confusión de las circunstancias y el miedo visceral de esconderse de los terroristas.

LA REINA DEL SUR. En la se-gunda temporada de La Reina del Sur, Teresa ha desaparecido para el resto del mundo bajo el sistema de testigos protegidos del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, luego de hundir políticamente al candidato presidencial mexicano Epifanio Vargas.

Ahora vive en la Toscana itali-ana bajo el nombre de María Dan-tés, totalmente alejada del narco-tráfico. El secuestro de su pequeña hija Sofía la obligará a desenterrar el pasado y a enfrentarse a viejos y nuevos enemigos.

Capítulo más reciente: La Reina del Sur Capítulo 51. Teresa Men-doza, una de las mayores trafican-tes de drogas en España, quien de-sapareciera sin dejar rastro, se ve forzada a regresar a ese mundo tan peligroso para salvar la vida de su hija.

TxDOT ofrece consejos para ayudar a los conductores a llegar seguros a sus destinos durante los meses populares del verano.

El verano es la temporada alta de viajes en Texas, lo que significa una multitud de personas en las carreteras haciendo viajes largos, visitando los parques estatales o los lagos.

Durante los viajes largos, los conductores corren el riesgo de dormirse, distraerse o perder la paciencia. El Departamento de Transporte del Estado de Texas les está recordando a los conductores que se mantengan alertos y eviten manejar con sueño o de manera agresiva este verano.

• Siempre obedece los límites de velocidad anunciados y maneja a una velocidad segura tomando en cuenta el tráfico y las condiciones de lluvia y de las carreteras.

• Presta mayor atención al manejar por zonas de construcción o mantenimiento.

• Mantenga una distancia segura entre tu vehículo y el vehículo que esté delante de ti.

• Maneja con las luces encen-didas para que te puedan ver los automóviles que vienen en sentido contrario.

• Mantente pendiente de los mo-tociclistas, ciclistas y peatones.

Maneja listo.Maneja seguro.

Weiler receives VC’s Distinguished Faculty Award

Geology instructor Matthew Weiler, third from right, was named the recipient of Victoria College’s Distinguished Faculty Award during the Spring 2019 Commencement Ceremony.

Victoria College geology in-structor Matthew Weiler was named the recipient of VC’s Dis-tinguished Faculty Award during the Spring 2019 Commencement Ceremony.

The award, presented by the Victoria College Foundation, hon-ors excellence, promotes effective teaching and recognizes excep-tional faculty for their contribu-tions to student learning through classroom teaching.

Nominees for the award were judged on resumes, student evalu-ations and letters of recommenda-tion from students, faculty mem-bers and others.

“I was surprised and honored to even be nominated,” Weiler said. “Victoria College is a great place to work because of the students,

as well as the faculty, staff, and administration who make teach-ing a priority and have helped me grow as a professor and supported so many of my endeavors here at VC.”

“Being recognized by your peers is such an honor because it proves you are making a difference in peoples’ lives,” said VC President David Hinds. “Matthew’s passion for teaching is evident. Victoria College is very fortunate to have someone like Matthew on its fac-ulty.”

Weiler, a paleontologist, began teaching geology at Victoria Col-lege in 2013.

“I love geology because you can see it, you can touch it,” Wei-ler said. “I joke with scientists in other fields and tell them in geol-ogy, I don’t have to worry about anything dying or rotting. Nobody is going to blow anything up in my class or light anything on fire.”

Weiler, whose wife, Karew Schumaker, teaches biology at

Victoria West High School, said he tries to help his students un-derstand how geology affects their everyday lives.

“Due to the content of the ge-ology courses that I teach, I try to incorporate as many visuals, hands-on activities, and demon-strations to help my students gain a better understanding of geologic processes influencing our planet,” Weiler said.

“I tell my students that I don’t care if they’re never going to get a PhD in geology, but geology deter-mines how they live. It determines where they build their homes, how they utilize ground water. I gear my classes toward making sure students know what’s going on around them.”

Along with physical geology, historical geology and environ-mental science, Weiler also teach-es meteorology and oceanography classes at Victoria College. “We wanted to give students more op-portunities as far as elective cours-es,” Weiler said. “We would even-tually like to add labs. Being this close to the coast gives us a chance

to gain much more appreciation for what goes on. The oceans drive most of our weather patterns.”

Victoria College student Kylie Neuvar took Weiler’s meteorol-ogy class during the Spring 2019

semester. “I love the way he teach-es,” Neuvar said. “I didn’t know VC offered a meteorology class. I heard a lot of good things about Mr. Weiler, so I wanted to take the class right away.”

UHV Library to host workshop on finding, applying for grantsVictoria-area nonprofit organi-

zations will have the opportunity to learn where to look for grants and find out tips about how to ap-ply for funding thanks to a training session offered by the University of Houston-Victoria Library.

“Grant Funding Workshop: Find Funders and Write Successful Grants” will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 26 in Room 215 of UHV University Center, 3007 N. Ben Wilson St. Kristal Johnson, cre-ator of the Assertive Ask fundrais-ing system and owner of FundJoy LLC, will teach the all-day work-shop. Registration for the training costs $50, and lunch and a light breakfast will be provided.

“Nonprofit organizations are important parts of the Victoria and Crossroads communities,” said Joe

Dahlstrom, UHV Library senior director. “They provide so much – affordable housing, assistance for the homeless, educational op-portunities and events, community engagement and literacy promo-tion. The UHV Library is glad to

offer these organizations tools to improve their chances of bringing in more funds through grant appli-cations.”

The UHV Library strives to pro-vide support to the area nonprofit community. The library is a Fund-ing Information Network affiliate of Foundation Center by Candid, which has a mission of strengthen-ing the nonprofit sector by advanc-ing knowledge about U.S. philan-thropy.

“Grants are important resources for nonprofit organizations,” said Jaena Manson, UHV instruction and outreach librarian. “As grants become more instrumental in help-ing fund the work of community nonprofits, grant-writing skills are increasingly important.

However, it can be a challenge

to find training resources to devel-op those skills.”

When the library offered the workshop last year, attendees spent a half-day learning about a database and other resources to locate available grant funds. How-ever, attendees also expressed in-terest in learning grant-writing tips and best practices, Manson said.

In response to that feedback, the library will spend the first half of the training focusing on how to find grant resources, including how to determine which grants are best for specific organizations, and the difference between public and

private grants. Then, during the second half, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about ef-fective grant writing.

“One of the major advantages of bringing Kristal in to do the train-ing is that local nonprofit leaders can benefit from her experience and knowledge,” Manson said. “She has firsthand knowledge of the grant community and what makes an effective application re-quest.”

Johnson is an international speaker, corporate trainer and au-thor who has coached individuals across North America, Europe and Africa to collectively raise $200 million during the past decade from funders and individual do-nors. Johnson also is a long-stand-ing member of the Grant Profes-sionals Association and Nonprofit Technology Network, and serves as a grant reviewer for federal agencies and the United Way of Greater Houston.

Attendees should register by July 23 through UHVconnect.org under the “Events” tab. For more information, contact Manson at [email protected].

to collaboratively support the mis-sion of several nonprofits in our community,” said Robin Cadle, president/CEO of Food Bank of the Golden Crescent. “This event

provides much-needed funds to these organizations in our commu-nity as they work together to assist those in need in our community.”

The event also raises scholar-ship funds for Victoria College vi-sual arts students.

Dolly Stokes, current Execu-tive Director, retired at the end of June, after leading the VCUW for nearly four years. “We feel nothing but gratitude for Dolly’s stewardship during her years as Executive Director,” stated Staudt. “The Victoria County United Way remains dedicated to meeting the needs of our community, and we will continue to work closely with donors and our member agencies to ensure that good work continues long into the future.”

“Dolly has been dynamic as the UW executive director,” noted Sheila Vesely, incoming board chair, “Her work with our agen-cies, donors and the board are to be commended. She especially stepped up in the Hurricane Har-vey relief efforts, being instrumen-tal with the Long Term Recovery Group and its efforts. The board appreciates the work she has done and certainly wishes her only the best in retirement”.
