Editor-In-Chief
HARLINGEN, Texas - Most weeks in the Rio Grande Valley can be characterized as being just like the one before and the one ahead: murder, adultery, sexual abuse, secrets revealed, plots hatched, alcohol on the move, great tacos, scorching suns and melancholic moons. It's a life.
Here, then, we review what Spanish speakers refer to as last week's novedades.
1.) Cold Case - A reader of this blog exploded forth with details surrounding the murder of local would-be blogger Tony Chapa's son-in-law a few years back. Seems, our reader noted, Chapa declined to speak to the cops and is said to have left town rather than agree to a sit-down chit-chat with detectives investigating the cold-blooded murder. Chapa countered by saying his daughter was not involved, and that he didn't split the city. His daughter was ready to take a lie-detector test, he added, but she never did. He blamed the cops for not scheduling the polygraph. Left floating in the air was any word from Chapa, a high school-educated blogger fond of throwing trash at local elected officials, about what his daughter was doing with a man someone wanted assassinated. Maybe it'll be one of his "stories" one of these days.
2.) The Flying Attorney - Al Alvarez seems to take all the sensational cases. He defended former faux-blonde Hidalgo County Commissioner Sylvia Handy with the vigor of a carrotpicker. Handy did not get off a slew of charges filed against her that included taking money for staff members who never existed and employing undocumented workers to clean her crib. But Alvarez, said to be the Rio Grande Valley's Johnny Cochran, remains the defense attorney to beat. This week he not only crashed his 2011 Mercedes into a house in McAllen, but he announced he would be defending Starr County men accused of taking a young girl hostage in their alleged sex-for-hire enterprise. Alvarez told The McAllen Monitor the guys are not guilty because the under-age girl brought in by the men from Mexico knew what she was getting into. McAllen cops were not part of that mess, but they did go on record as saying Alvarez smelled of alcohol the night he plowed his jazzy car into that defenseless home.
3.) The Stealth Superintendent - Harlingen public schools honcho Dr. Steve Flores is no publcity hound. You hardly ever hear about - or from - him. He is paid more than $200,000 annually, a lot more than the superintendent of Leander up near Austin who just took a pay cut in an effort to avoid laying off teachers and not as much as Beaumont's superstar superintendent who makes a gaudy $348,000 a year. Flores has said little about how the state's massive budget cuts will affect Harlingen or Harlingen's classroom teachers. Those rumors that he may accept a paycut are not coming from his office. The nattily-attired Flores likes to fly under the radar. They say his favorite color is fog.
4.) Death In The Afternoon - The strange death of Cameron County Assistant District Attorney Arturo Jose Iniguez is like a scene in a hip Leonard Elmore crime novel. Who did it? And why? Is there a dame involved? What - you say animal sedatives may be involved! You say the young, 26-year-old lawyer took an overdose of those pills? As they say in the dusty barrio streets of Matamoros, Mexico, where Iniguez was found slumped-over in his SUV, "Quien sabe." No kidding. It's been a week and nothing. His boss, D.A. Armando Villalobos worked his Roger Ortiz trick to perfection, fending off the press at every turn: first he said no foul play, then he said suicide, then he said maybe murder, then he said nothing more. That woman reeling over in the corner is Iniguez's young wife. When Villalobos will let go with the rest of the facts surrounding the murder is anybody's guess. "Could be the man'ss waiting for the Zetas to claim they did it," said Momo Spaghetti, the Italian mobster in the story being spun by the cold-blooded D.A.
5.) The Bases Were Loaded, And So Was I - It won't be long before the ever-hopeful Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings take the field. Spring is for renewal, it is said from coast to coast. For the Wingsters, it's another long, hard drive for the league pennant, this one coming on the heels of last year's woeful performance in the championship series they lost. Baseball fans are forgiving on that front. What the Wings need to resolve is their lousy payment schedule on that utility bill they stick on the City of Harligen. The contract, one would think, stipulates that the team may play at storied Harlingen Field. It also states that the Wings will pay the light bill. They've been lax at paying, and that's not good P.R. for an outfit playing mediocre baseball. Residents pay the price of admission as fans. They shouldn't be forced to pay the team's light bill as taxpayers. Throw that hard one high & inside on team management.
And that's the way it was...

Exellent article. noticed chapaneco had only one story oday, ablout The Tribune.Es un pinche pendejo ese Chapa!
Mr. Alcatraz, you forgot, mhns was exposed, with the number of comments the operator claims he gets daily. Some guy, we don't hear much about,litterally called chapetes blgo, no more than local rumor mill blog. The only problem he is to stupid to realize it.
jajajajajajajaj!!!!!idiot
At the moment el par de jotos blog and the lard ass chola, has 3 comments all comments from the two aholes. (chapis n his novia Jakie). They are dreaming when they speak about 82 comments.
Didn't think Ferraro was that old,79 years with Cancer, good night irene.
82 comments in your f*&*^%$ing dreams. El viejo burro, no trabaja, la chola lo mantiene, es un viejo inutil, que no maneja, no sabe escribir, Y lla la gente se canso de sus pinches istorietas de los policias, Lla hoto cambia to pinche mugrero.
And so the story goes: That sometime back, the police came to chapis house to get copies of all the IP numbers because of some comments and his trashy blog.
The word at las casuelas, was that he ran to the computer and got them the numbers so fast the cops were laughing.
I believe, threats were made from one of Chapis blogger towards K/M. The word from a police officer this morning was that chapis couldn't sleep and and wanted the anyone to to hold him in their arms, And kepted asking the big dawg for advise.
He was criticized for turning over the IP's numbers but he didn't care, because he is such a coward, he shine the cops boots and beg not to be taken into custody. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!Coyon, denied it, just ask the police, they're still laughing about it. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
THAT is so believable. What an asswipe. he's not Hispanic is he? Moron. Coward of the county, of the valley!
You got that right, bro. Chapenco would cry if a man confronted him. He and his keyboard that's all he has. oh, and that backseat in jake's Ford. Es una vieja ese enano! End it, bro. You're the most hate didiot in town!
What!!!!, no wonder he hates cops, did he really shine their boots??
I hear he even volunteered to find who the blogger was.
Let me see:
Let me see, He ran when an investigation was getting CLOSE TO ONE his relatives, relating to a HOMOCIDE to his ex-wife's home,
"what!!!," to the ex-wife's house, no tienes berguenza viejo "CUERNUDO", THEN A FRIEND OF HIS, CALLS A SU VIEJA, "NALGAS DE MANTEQUA," LOL, LOL jajaj,jajajaja, fu*&*(ng coward.
Then turns over IP numbers just to save his dumb ass.
MAMON, NO TIENES CAJONES.
I guess Mr. Conception Garcia, will have to spend sometime in the county farm.
How come everything, runs so smooth in Hidalgo county, and here in Cameron, things just look and feel screwed up.
Nalgas mantecudas la chola del chapanenco, dijo el amigo hoto del chaparon lol,lol,lol, lol, lol.
necesita la pildora asul. lol,lol, lol.
Michelle Falcon Garza, abuse me, please abuse me, I promise, I can keep a secret.
mhns, 3 comments all day, no one cares about his fakey police stories. two from him and girlfriedn, one from some blogger. 3 comments, loser, loser.
82 comments my A#*^s.
Okay guys, leave that shrimp alone, everybody else has. The milk is in the pudding, no comments at the looney, blog.
Never this Chapa clown, but he'd never make it Edinburg. We're men over here. And we don't take kindly to some bozo saying they want our wives in the backseat of their Ford. Chapa is no man. He's more like a class nerd, the chubby guy everybody abused in high school.
I hope the four (4) year old that died, didn't die, because of alcohol. Because if he did, the driver has problems. Rest in peace.
Damn, if chapanenco, gave the ips to the police just to save his ass, he can't be trusted.
mhns, 3 comments today, 15 tomorrow, mostly from him and jakelyn.
Bloggers, a blogger has accused Jakelyn of bloggin under a fake names.
At el Rancho this morning, I heard that kingi canuetie, has gone back and had identified, jakelyn, blogging under 3 or 4 different names, the rumor was that, when blogger praises himself, or references the fake name in good terms, it is the same blogger, I her kilo uno is one of the names he was using, as was Isidro, or something like that.
I believe that because of the hostility toward kingi for calling tony's blog a local rumor mill, his piece will be deleted immidiately.
Heard the same stuff on Friday, L(OO)K, anymous 15 and Isidro Ramires are the same bloggers, I saw the lab top they were using, and heard the explanations of wording correaltions, or writing patterns, it is unbelieveable, but hard to dispute.
Anon, so you mean, Jakey is using for 4 different names, so out of 7 comments 3 were jackies aliases, two were jackies and two were tonies.
So in reality they had no comments, all were made up.
This is the secon time, I have heard those comments.
I think "Seriously" is Kingi in disguise or a friend of kingi.
The undisputed "KING" of the blogs:
"The Browsnville Herald-Tribune.blospot"
BHT: 42 postings/2 articles.
Myleadernews/off today
Myharlingenblog 7 comments all from the same two bloggers. About 10 stories nobody gives a damn about.
Eduardo Paz-Martinez, Owner/operator, I salute you for your professional blog and your quest for perfection with your write ups, please continue.
The number one Blog, yesseriieee!!!
If I recall correctly when Deal had his first blog, before he shut down to move to San Antonio, the topic of the son-in-law murder came up. Chapa was claiming he would not let DPS run a polygraph on his daughter because his lawyer could not be present during the test. The Harlingen Police had scheduled the test and Tony and his daughter refused to participate. If I recall correctly there was one blogger speculated that some of the investigators suspected Toney’s involvement. Again if I remember correctly, Tony commented that he had withdrawn a large amount of money from the bank before the murder but it was for something else. I’m not sure of the exactly what was said but Deal should still have it in his old archives.
What kills Chapaneco is the large number of comments the Tribune gets compared to his dead Blog. I say we post comments here all night and tomorrow, get to 100 and show him his lies and his bullshit with jake are bulshit we don't need. NO comments for Chapete. Let's humiliate his little ass! LOL!!
Maybe it is time for HPD to open up a cold case investigation on the murder of Chapa's son-in-law. They had the shooter but the county jail screwed up the deal by putting the shooter and the snitch in the sam pod. I would really be something if the shooter would say who paid him to make the hit.
"If I recall correctly", Anon, I can tell you with a certain degree of certainty, that the IP numbers were obtained by the police from the sewer line during an election, it was alledged that someone was sending threats to a commissioner.
I do remember the Big Dawg, got upset, because Anthony talks a lot of shit, and when the police came, he "Wilted". The rumor is he was shinnig the cops boots and their badges, like a little slave. During a citizens meeting, someone said Myharlingenews can't be trusted, because the operator will throw you at the dogs to save his beat up hide. Mendigo Cobarde
16 comments,14 de jotona y 1 del joton, no se vayan quiebrar. LOL,LOL,lol,lol,lol,lol they are making up comments because no one is blogging, par de jotinchones.
Anons, he is even calling himself a Christian, he can't take it, because the Trib and all the good people here have seen him for what he is, un viejo miedoso.
He has gotten his dumb ass whipped.
Go cry on the shoulder of someone who cares in the rear sit of ford. As#%**hole
He was crying and running scared when it was revealed a local commissioner was going to sue him. Just ask the big dawg. He was asking advised from everyone,or anyone who would listen to him, or as the song goes, "the coward of the county."
Mr. Editor, I haven't heard of any round ups in Cameron county, is that why that guy ran into a car and killed a woman.
Anon, I agree, the investigation ought to be re-open again. I think I will speak to the acting police chief this coming week, or send him a letter.
Maybe, this guy hates the police, because he knows, they know the facts.
Go ahead anthony, time to shine cops shoes again.
10 comments on the police dept. police officers.
Listen to these bloggers:
4 comments from tonie
2 from the same lady, using a fake name,
One from Jakelyin using the l(OO)k fake name,
2 actual comments, this fu%#%*ng, losers, are so phony, they stink up the place.
Mr. Editor: What happened, looks like your blog exploded.
Very interesting comments, on both articles.
I don't know that person so many bloggers are referencing to, but he sounds, evil, homicide involvement, is serious. The harlingen police needs to look into the matter, for sure.
You are right on the 99niners, time to find work. Two years is a long time to be unemployed.
It seems that Tony C. has pretty much been wiped out. He is no longer anywhere near the other blogs in comments and he never was anywhere close in content. All he has now is Jake, blogging furiously away under several different names which is something Tony likes to accuse others of doing. If Tony is so quick to look up IP addresses, why hasn't he noticed that all his comments come from the same computer. His blog has now sunk to the same level as McHale's, with the difference that McHale can write in complete sentences. The basic similarities between the two blogs is that they are blindly one sided, and seem to promote perversion/pornography and to a large degree, are viewed by the community with complete disregard and even revulsion. Their impact on the community is less than nothing because they have shown themselves to be in the business only to please and promote themselves. In each case, what could have been a positive voice for the people has become individuals out only for themselves. They would be much better people if they would put away their keyboards and go out and plant flowers. M
Fantastic decision. you will be welcomed in town. Hope to see you at las Cazuelas! have a great day.
the Internet Better Business Bureau (IBBB) monitored this blog site (myharlingennews.com) for 24 hrs and states, ” they had 4 legitimate comments and 6 fake comments and 7 erased comments by the publisher during the past 24 hours.”
Sounds good, that your heading down this way. Breakfast is great at the local eateries, the city commission is citizen friendly to.
Oh boy, so the IBBB agrees with canuts comments at el rancho, nothing but fake bloggers. WE knew it, mhns, and it's two police stories, even some of his supporters are saying t/c is wrong.
He is inviting people to joining in facebook, why, no one likes him.
There were a lot of comments about Geraldine F. in todays local news, a good woman. A good politician to.
May she rest in peace, God be with you.
I think we can say that Chapaneco's blog is history. it is just him and his boypal Jake. No one will ever trust that blog again. He is a joke on himself.
he's got some incoherent write up about the car chase. chapaneco has no concept of context. He acts as if everybody read every word in the earlier stories. Write, dwarf! or at least tell us who the "anonymous" writer is. Sounds fake. LOL!!!
Chapaneco the shrimp has nothing again today. Just some more anti-cops stuff with no depth. tell your story, moron! it's a hoot. Your daughter's husband murdered by a hitman? Wow!!! Write that one, bozo!
Ralph, agree, chapanenco, tell us who killed your son-in- law, tell us about the ip numbers you ran to give to the police, tells, about the comments the dawg made about you not sleeping, because you were afraid K/M was going to close your slime blog down, like she did the Harlingen post.
Tell us who your fake writers are, phony awhole.
Retired, he won't speak up. Chapaneco is a coward. He's like the editor said just playing at being a news outlet. And he still won't defend his poor wife! Loser!!
A day of fun turned into a day of trajedy. Pobre familia, que dios tenga en pas a la nina.
