“We have me the enemy and he is us.” Palmview had countless opportunities to win its Pony League World Series game against Chinese Taipei but bobbled it away in a 4-2 loss Saturday at Lew Hays Poy Field in Washington Park The biggest goof came in the seventh and final inning Palmview put two batters on base when first baseman Wu Chieh Jui misplayed a ground ball hit by Omar Cantu for an error and Edgar Quintanilla walked Gael Zambrano took two strikes and then all heck broke loose Quintanilla took a big lead and Chinese Taipei pitcher Chen Hsuan Chi fired over to first base Quintanilla was called out and the pickoff left Palmview players frustrated everybody said so,” said Palmview manager Ramiro Leon It affected the game but hey that’s baseball.” “It was a defensive move,” said Chinese Taipei manager Ching Chun Tsai said through an interpreter.” We wanted them to think we were going to throw it to second base “That was a tough out but it’s a long tournament and we could see them again,” Leon said Palmview pitchers uncorked three wild pitches catcher Chen Chin Fu opened the inning by hitting a sharp grounder that Leon stopped but was not able to throw him out error and wild pitch put Lin Liang Kai on third base He scored on another wild pitch to give Chinese Taipei a 3-2 lead Chinese Taipei took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a single by Wu Chieh Jui and a groundout by Chen Hsuan-Chi It stayed that way until the fourth inning when Axel Pulido sent a rocket over the left-field fence that scored Ezra Gonzalez and tied the game 2-2 I wouldn’t say I was worried,” Leon said We were putting the ball in play but the wild pitches hurt us we’ll come back to practice and let them know they can have fun.” Chinese Taipei had only three hits to go along with four runs Five pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts of Palmview batters The Asia-Pacific champions shut out Palmview over the last three innings But the Chinese Taipei manager feels the team will play better once they get more comfortable with their surroundings this is the first time playing in the U.S.,” said Ching “They might not feel as free.” If you have an account and are registered for online access sign in with your email address and password below Never been a subscriber and want to subscribe Copyright © Observer-Reporter | Contact | Terms of Use | Privacy Policy Instructors from the Regional Center of Public Safety Excellence (RCPSE) visited Starr County to share their knowledge in car fire and rescue with firefighters from the region Certified firefighters can obtain college credits during certain trainings that will count toward an associate degree in Fire Science or Emergency Medical Services as well as a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership TEXAS - South Texas College provides opportunities of continuing education wherever it is needed instructors from the Regional Center of Public Safety Excellence (RCPSE) visited Starr County to share their knowledge in car fire and rescue with firefighters from the region Fire Science instructors conducted a training at STC’s Starr County campus where firefighters from Rio Grande City Roma and Palmview were shown how to safely use the car fire simulator that STC fire cadets train with so they can later use it to also train their department firefighters “Most of the training props that STC acquires for training are mobile because we want to transport them wherever they’re needed,” said Robert Vela campus coordinator for the Regional Center “We want these resources to not only be available to our students but to every fire department in the RGV Our mission is to continue these trainings that will result in the betterment of the region.” Vela added that this is the first time that instructors from the regional center traveled off site to conduct a training and showed his appreciation to the Rio Grande City Fire Department for their support and continued partnership “We’re thankful to the college for giving us the opportunity to request this tool and help our team we’re looking forward to visit the regional center and learning more about the equipment STC has made available to us,” said Manuel Muniz Rio Grande City Fire Department fire chief participants were shown the correct set up and operation of the training equipment and reviewed various techniques and approaches when encountering a car fire.

a revised road network to service this community With the impending completion of the Bruce Highway Connection this new connection will now be recognised as the next road link in Council’s planning documents the revised road network for Palmview will enable the Palmview development to continue which is a critical outcome given the current housing crisis on the Sunshine Coast and the need to ensure the continuity of land supply for the construction of new homes Division 6 Councillor Christian Dickson said Council had always considered the Bruce Highway Connection to be of great importance for the Palmview Community and looked forward to AVID completing construction as required by the State Government’s conditions of approval “I have been working with the local community and key stakeholders on this project since 2010 and understand the crucial issues and concerns surrounding road access water and highway access,” Cr Dickson said “There has been a pressing need for the road network to change to avoid the progress of Palmview coming to a complete standstill with no more development “AVID has sought an extension of the State’s deadline to complete the Bruce Highway Connection which is now due to be finished by 30 November and will likely be by the end of the year,” Cr Dickson said Council will pursue the amendment to the planning documents to implement the revised road network “The Bruce Highway Connection will greatly assist in the overall safety and efficient functioning of the road network for Palmview by providing a safe and convenient access point to the community in the event that one road may be blocked due to an accident or natural disaster “Changes to the road network will not proceed until such time that the Bruce Highway Connection has been completed and open to the public “Council has a strong legacy of planning positively to accommodate projected future population growth and will continue to work with the State Government across a range of areas to effectively address housing availability and affordability challenges “In conjunction with Council’s decision to revise the road network Council has also secured additional funding for community facilities for the Palmview community that can assist in the funding for future items such as meeting places and a possible new library.” Approximately 3,200 Equivalent Dwellings (EDs with one ED equating to a single detached dwelling) have been approved to date in Palmview to date Since 2021 Council has sought to amend the Palmview Major Road Transport Infrastructure to: The amended road network will be delivered in the following sequence: Council agreed to the amendment at the October 2023 Ordinary Meeting The amended planning documents will be publicly available once they have taken effect For more information visit https://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Council/Planning-and-Projects/Major-Regional-Projects/palmview Experience Sunshine Coast Living and community

sun-drenched properties Julie can be found dining with longtime friends from home Most of her mornings start at Green’s Pharmacy & Luncheonette an institution in Palm Beach with a fantastic breakfast and end with a light dinner out with friends at either Chef Clay Conley’s small plate bistro or under the hundred-year-old Banyan trees in the classic European courtyard of Pizza Al Fresco where they
