The first game in day three at the NBC World Series was a beauty; that is, if you enjoy great pitching and defensive play. Pitchers for both teams threw complete games but it was the San Antonio Titans who carved out a victory over the Newton Rebels 1-0.

On Wednesday June 8th the San Antonio MAPCO Titans Battled the Austin Gold Sox for a chance to get into the NBC National Tournament in Wichita, Kansas. The game was a special event at St. Mary’s University’s Historic VJ Keefe Memorial Stadium.

Monday afternoon, the U.S. Border Patrol opened a new state-of-the-art checkpoint on Highway 90 near Cline.

The new all-weather Border Patrol Checkpoint opened at approximately 1 p.m. This is the first of its kind to be constructed in Del Rio Sector. Located nine miles west of the Uvalde Post Office on U.S. Highway 90, the new facility will provide a much safer working environment for agents by moving vehicle inspection off the busy roadway.

It looked like snow hitting the concrete in the T-6 "Texan II" Aircraft Weather Shelter at Laughlin Air Force Base on Wednesday (Jan. 14), but it was far from it. The high expansion foam is more like soap bubbles.

The bubbles were part of a test to check three new generators added to the weather shelter as part of its recent expansion. The test drew a crowd of Air Force members, contractors and civilian personnel, who came to see the entire system in action and to see how far the foam would spill out of the shelter.

The Fort Bliss Expansion project was an out-of-box venture – even for an established company such as MAPCO, Inc. It collaborated with a project work force of thousands to get the job done right.

From the panhandle and the plains to the deserts of El Paso, West Texas is building like never before.

MAPCO, Inc. has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to perform maintenance, repair and minor construction services for the U.S. Air Force.

MAPCO, Inc. shares the contract with Ray City, Ga.-based Coleman Construction/All Cities Enterprises, both of which will provide the services at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. The base is the largest industrial complex in the state, employing more than 25,000 civilian, contractor and military members.

Two local construction firms have won contracts from the U.S. military with a combined value of $16.1 million.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded to Satterfield & Pontikes Construction Inc. a $10.5 million contract to build an educational training facility at Fort Sam Houston.

San Antonio-based MAPCO, Inc. has been tapped to join a team of contractors working on a $40 million Department of Defense contract to provide design and construction of anti-terrorism and force protection upgrades at U.S. military installations.

The company has received a $60,000 initial order that essentially serves to secure them as members of the team, says Abe Villareal, program manager for MAPCO, Inc.

Editor’s note: As I waited to meet Michael Angelo Padron, president and owner of MAPCO, Inc., in the lobby of his fortress-like general contracting office, I studied a framed photograph, depicting an eagle, soaring over the calm, unbroken waters of a snow-capped mountain lake. It’s inscription read, “Until you spread your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly.” After meeting Michael, I understand why this work of art is significant to him.
