Logan Heights veterans honor one of their own
By Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez
Tucson, AZ — On the left side of
the courtroom, 60 to 70 short, darkbrown men and a few women are
seated, handcuffed and shackled
from the wrists, waist and ankles. All
are silent. They take up about 20 rows,
including the two corresponding to the
jury box. The scene is surreal. Their
chains, their color and height are very
pronounced - yet in this courtroom,
are hardly noticed by the lawyers and
other court officials, including the
judge.
This kangaroo court called Operation Streamline is America’s modern
version of Expedited Indian Removal;
chase, capture, pseudo-judicial proceeding, incarceration and deport. It
convenes daily at 1:30 PM in Tucson, Arizona.
Apparently, the prisoners in this
second-floor federal courtroom have
been instructed not to converse with
each other. But the periodic clanking
of their chains betrays the silence.
The chains eerily communicate that
something is not right here.
In contrast, in the middle of this
courtroom are primarily well-dressed
and well-heeled lawyers. Some attorneys sit; some stand. Many fiddle with
their smartphones. Some of the attorneys are Mexican-American or
Hispanic. Others are Anglos or white.
All are supposed to be bilingual. And
of course, their skin color, regardless
of their ethnic origin, is noticeably
lighter than that of their “clients.” On
the right is the smallest section, reserved for 12 to 15 visitors.
None of the prisoners here is being tried for a violent felony or violent misdemeanor. They are being
charged with illegal entry or illegal reentry. Yet the shackles send a chilling message - that these brown men
and women are highly dangerous and
need to be kept under close watch
and tight control at all times.
The courtroom is spectacle. It resembles theater more than trial. Not
even Aurora theater massacre suspect James Holmes was shackled
and herded into the courtroom in this
manner. But the charade continues
here because the public must be led
to believe that this operation is keeping America safe from the brown
hordes.
In this theater of the absurd, five
questions are asked of each prisoner
(here they are prisoners, not defendants). One of the judge’s questions,
as the prisoners appear in groups of
eight to nine, is whether they are
uncoerced and making their decisions
of their own free will. Handcuffed
and shackled, they reply: Si.
While the chains are the ultimate

Llega la exposición ¡Viva! El Mariachi Femenil a San Diego
Por Citlalli Rodriguez
Al hablar de tradiciones mexicanas y su música no se puede dejar
de mencionar el mariachi, sin duda
uno de los símbolos más representativos de México, conocido alrededor
del mundo por sus vibrantes sonidos
de trompetas, violines y guitarrón,
que por lo general es interpretado
por un grupo de hombres vestidos
con el traje de charro. Sin embargo,
la aportación que ha hecho la mujer
a este género es invaluable, pues con
ello, ha hecho traspasar fronteras.
Gracias al esfuerzo e inquietud de
tres mujeres Leonor Pérez, Laura
Sobrino y Nancy Muñoz (todas ellas
interpretes y precursoras del
desarrollo del mariachi femenil en
Estados Unidos) hoy la ciudad de
San Diego puede disfrutar de una
amplia exposición de fotografías y
objetos invaluables que cuentan la
historia y raíces de la mujer en el
género regional mexicano, presentado en el Women’s Museum of
California en San Diego desde el 6
de Septiembre hasta el próximo 27
de Octubre.
La directora Leonor Pérez,
violinista especializada en este
género y que además actualmente
(con’t Indian Removal, page 8) labora como gerente de proyectos
para la Orquesta Sinfónica de San
Diego decidió emprender en 1998
un viaje a México para indagar
sobre los orígenes del mariachi
femenil. A partir de ahí, se dedicó a
recolectar imágenes, objetos y datos
que hoy conforman la exposición
“¡Viva! El Mariachi Femenil”. “Todo
este tiempo me he dedicado a
coleccionar porque me parece que
es muy importante que se conozca
la gran aportación que ha hecho la
mujer al mariachi, incluso algunas que
los hombres nunca han hecho pero
que no se conocen, como ir a tocar
a las tropas del army durante la
guerra…” Comentó la violinista
avecindada en la ciudad de San Diego.
La historia del mariachi femenil se
remonta hasta el año de 1903 con
la primera mujer violinista de nombre Rosa Quirino, originaria de La
Escondida, Jalisco la cual para ese
entonces, a sus 13 años de edad ya
interpretaba canciones típicas,
acompañada de su violín.
La transformación se fue dando
con el paso del tiempo y en sus
inicios los grupos de mariachi femenil

Also on Friday, Rep. Juan
Vargas became cosponsor of
House Joint Resolution 91,
which would appropriate funding for the Department of Defense to finance U.S. military
death benefits during a government shutdown, was joined by
424 other Congressional Members in support of the legislation.
“Last weekend, four service
members, one of whom (Jennifer Moreno) was from my district, were killed in action,”
Vargas said. “Due to the government shutdown, their families were denied military death
benefits. This is completely unacceptable. We must honor the
memory of those who have
given their lives for our country
by ensuring that their families receive the benefits they deserve.”
As a result of the current
government shutdown, the
Department of Defense has
been unable to pay military
death benefits to eligible family members, putting undo financial hardship on those already dealing with the loss of
a loved one. This bill would
ensure that death benefits,
such as death gratuity, payments or reimbursements for
eligible funeral and burial expenses, and dignified transfer
of remains are funded.
“It is inconceivable that surviving family members would
be denied military death benefits because the government
has been shutdown,” stated
Vargas. “This bill is a necessary step to ensure that survivors of fallen servicemen and
women receive their benefits,
regardless of whether or not
the government is operating.”

El miembro del concejo, David Alvarez entrega una placa a la madre de Jennifer Moreno.
Por Pablo J. Sáinz
A la Teniente Jennifer Moreno siempre le gustaba ayudar a
los demás.
Esa es la razón principal por
la cual se graduó con un grado
de enfermería de la Universidad de San Francisco. Esa es
la razón principal por la que se
alistó en el Ejército de los E.U.
Esa es la razón principal por la
que se ofreció a ir a Afganistán,
donde se desempeñó como
enfermera del ejército.
Moreno, de 25 años, fue
asesinada por una bomba el 6
de octubre, cuando su unidad
fue atacada durante una redada
a una base talibán. Se le concedió a título póstumo la Estrella
de Bronce por su valentía.
Pero quizás el mayor honor
que recibió después de su
muerte fue el que recibió de
los veteranos de guerra de
Logan Heights, cuando presentaron sus respetos a uno de
los suyos el viernes, octubre 11.
Decenas de veteranos de
Logan Heights de Vietnam,
Irak y Afganistán, se reunieron
en el Logan Heights Veterans
Memorial, en Chicano Park,
para recordar el sacrificio de
esta joven que murió luchando
por su país.
“Hoy estamos aquí como
una sola unidad en honor a esta
joven “, dijo Juan Manuel
Crespín, portavoz de los Logan
Heights Veterans Memorial
Committee, que organizó el
evento. “Soy un padre. Lo
último que deseamos, Dios no
lo quiera, es que algo le pase a
nuestros hijos. Nuestros niños
son sagrados. No se supone que
vayan delante de nosotros”.
La madre de Moreno, María
Córdova, llegó ahogada en
llanto al memorial, en compañía
de sus otros tres hijos, uno de
ellos también en el Ejército.
“Lo único que quiero decir
es que el dolor que siento es
muy grande”, dijo en español.
“Jennifer siempre se sintió
orgullosa de su trabajo. Gracias
a todos por la atención que se
está dando a mi hija”.
Durante el servicio, el regidor
de San Diego, David Álvarez,
entregó una placa a Córdova
para agradecer el servicio de
su hija.
“Con todo mi corazón, Señora, lamento la muerte de su
hija, ella está ahora en el cielo”,
dijo Alvarez, quien representa
a Logan Heights en el cabildo.

Culture, Opportunity Lead to Gambling Issues for Asians

It’s nearly 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning, and a 72-yearold grandmother is saddled up
to one of Pechanga Resort &
Casino’s high-limit blackjack
tables.
The dealer points her way,
saying: “She’s a Vietnamese
superstar, huh.”
The diminutive woman from
Westminster is indeed known
among the Temecula casino’s
patrons for her prowess at
blackjack. That information,
however, must stay within the
walls of Pechanga because she
couldn’t bear it if her husband
and children found out about
her secret addiction.
She brushes off an interview
request, making it clear she
wants to concentrate on the
game.
Yet while the older woman
is tight-lipped, her 50-year-old
compatriot, Thanh Tran, is
more than willing to share her
stories. For Tran, gambling is

Ending Historic Discrimination — Obama
Streamlines Mental Health Care
By Viji Sundaram
NEW AMERICA MEDIA
Like most severely mentally
ill patients, 23-year-old Daniel
Padilla doesn’t see himself as
that.
The insurance companies
that cover him – Medi-Cal
(California’s name for Medicaid, the federal-state-funded insurance for low-income and
disabled people) and United
Health Insurance — don’t see
the schizophrenia he was diagnosed with at age 19, as deserving the same benefits as someone with a medical condition.
His father, Benito, must go
after the insurers month after
month to get them to pay
Padilla’s psychiatrist to keep
his schizophrenia under control.
“The insurers approve three
visits and then they put you
through hell,” asserted San
Diego-based psychiatrist Dr.
Rodrigo A. Muñoz, who has
been treating Padilla all along.
“Insurers discriminate against people who are mentally
ill,” Muñoz said.
But that’s all going to change
soon. When the historic Affordable Care Act fully unrolls
on Jan. 1, 2014, it will require
insurers to offer mental health
care benefits equal to physical
health benefits. In other words,
a disorder in the brain will be
treated no differently than one
in the kidney, Muñoz said.
Not just people with mental
disorders, but those with substance use disorders have encountered penny-pinching annual and lifetime caps on coverage, higher deductibles, or
simply no coverage at all.
Federal Parity Law
The blatantly discriminatory
practices by health insurance
companies prompted Congress
in 2008 to pass the Mental
Health Parity and Addiction
Equity Act (MHPAEA), which
mandated that psychiatric ill-
ness be covered just the same
as other medical illnesses. It
required insurers to offer the
same annual and lifetime dollar limits for mental health care
as for medical and surgical
care.
But the law applies only to
larger employers – those with
50 or more workers – that offered a health plan that covered mental health and substance abuse. Smaller employers, as well as people who buy
their own insurance, are excluded from the benefits of the
law.
“Smaller employers have resisted changing the law, saying they will go broke” if they
had to include mental health
coverage in their health care
plans, Muñoz pointed out.
The ACA has extended the
MHPAEA provisions to state
insurance exchanges, known
as Covered California in this
state. This would require policies purchased by smaller employers and individuals through
the exchange, as well as those
purchased outside of it, to be
MHPAEA-compliant.
Had the MHPAEA mandated universal psychiatric
benefits when it was created,
insurers like Padilla’s would not
have been able to discriminate
between the treatment of psychiatric and non-psychiatric
medical illnesses, he said.
Dr. Clayton Chau, who
practices psychiatry in Orange
County, Calif., said that because of the discrimination factor, poor access to care and
inadequate insurance coverage, only a fraction of those
with mental illness get treatment.
A report by the Surgeon
General indicates that one in
four Americans has a diagnosable mental illness at any given
time. National and international
studies show that 1 percent of
the general population has
schizophrenia, an illness that is

Pero piénselo bien, no sonría
para verse mejor o para
parecer amable. Sonría de
adentro, sienta su sonrisa, el
único realmente beneficiado
será usted.
Medite, comparta y sea
agradecido, hacerlo aumentará seguramente sus posibilidades de ser feliz. ¡Ah! Y
olvídese de una vez de esos
resentimientos y esas rabias
viejas, al único que dañan es
a usted.
Vea su película favorita,
haga las cosas que le gustan,
busque la felicidad y obsérvela cuando la tenga al frente,
no la deje ir, al fin y al cabo,
es suya.
Social Security Generates Nearly $1.4 Trillion in Economic
Activity, Supports More Than Nine Million Jobs
A new study from AARP’s
Public Policy Institute calculates that each dollar paid to
Social Security beneficiaries
generates nearly two dollars in
spending by individuals and
businesses, adding about $1.4
trillion in total economic output
to the U.S. economy in 2012.
The report also finds the $762
billion paid in Social Security
benefits in 2012 helped Americans keep or find more than
nine million jobs.
Social Security’s Impact
on the National Eco-nomy
details the powerful multiplier
effect created when Social
Security recipients spend their
benefits and the companies
which receive those dollars
spend their profits and pay their
employees, who in turn spend
their wages. The report provides both national and statelevel data.
AARP volunteers and staff
are visiting Capitol Hill offices
today to deliver the report to
their Members of Congress
and voice their concerns about
the chained CPI, a change proposed in budget negotiations
that would cut Social Security
benefits.
“This report tells us that any
adjustments Washington
makes to Social Security will
have a profound effect on individuals of all ages, businesses
and our economy as a whole,”
said AARP Executive Vice
President Nancy Lea-Mond.
“That’s why AARP is fighting
the chained CPI and calling for
a national conversation about
the future of Social Security –
so those who paid into the system can have a voice in the
debate and so future generations get the benefits they’ve
earned.”
Social Security benefit pay-
ments in 2012 supported more
than $370 billion in salaries,
wages and compensation for
workers. Of the more than nine
million jobs supported by Social Security spending, about
four million were in just ten industries. Nationally, the largest
employment impacts were seen
in the food services, real estate, health care and retail industries.
In addition to illustrating Social Security’s vital role in supporting national and local
economies, jobs and workers’
incomes, this report reiterates
the importance of Social Security as a vital source of income for millions of Americans. Social Security benefits
keep 22 million people out of
poverty, including more than 15
million older Americans, and
serve as the foundation of a
secure retirement for millions
more.
Social Security’s Impact
on the National Econo-my
uses an economic modeling
system known as IMPLAN to
calculate the multiplier effect
and trace the impact of Social
Security spending through the
national and state economies.

Obtiene Resonantes Éxitos, el Festival de Octubre Edición 2013.
Por: Paco Zavala
El Festival de octubre que
se está realizando en diversos
escenarios del Estado de Baja
California, en el que están
presentando durante el corriente mes de octubre 277
espectáculos culturales en todo
el estado. Tijuana se ha vestido
de gala al presentar en sus
diversos foros y en el marco
de este festival resonantes
éxitos, por ejemplo:
El pasado sábado 12 de
octubre, se presentaron en el
Multiforo del Instituto de
Cultura de Baja California,
cuatro exquisitas actrices
colombianas, ellas son: Ximena
Escobar Mejía, María Cristina
Restrepo Sierra, Natalia Chavaría Téllez y Claudia Natalia
Restrepo Sierra, de la Compañía de Teatro Azul de
Colombia, participando en la
puesta en escena de la obra
teatral infantil “Ciudad Fantasía”, obra tal como su
nombre lo indica contiene una
carga megatónica de ilusiones
y fantasías, apta para públicos
que van de los 3 a los 99 años.
La historia se desarrolla en
un fantástico viaje de cuatro
niñas, desplazándose por los
planetas y contando historias
diversas, así, llegan a la tierra
para relatar la historia de una
ciudad olvidada por sus amargados habitantes, los que al
final logran rescatar a esa
ciudad gracias a la alegría y el
en-tusiasmo de los espíritus infantiles.
En una segunda función
dirigida a adolescentes y
adultos, habla de la realidad que
viven algunas mujeres en
Colombia y en todo el mundo,
inducidas hacia la degradación
El Mariachi
Femenil
(con’t de página 1)
poblana. Ahí el nombre de
la agrupación “Adela y su
mariachi de muchachas” o
“Las Adelitas”, las cuales eran
un grupo de hermanas y
primas formado en 1948 por
Víctor Angulo –trompetista
del famoso compositor
Agustín Lara-. La señora
Francis Angulo de 82 años de
edad, quien tocaba la vihuela
en esta agrupación estuvo
presente en la inauguración de
la expo-sición y se dijo muy
contenta de recibir un
homenaje por ser digna
representante de este género
a pesar de ser proveniente
de la ciudad de Mérida,
Yucatán.
Así como doña Francis,
hubo otras féminas que
lograron metas importantes
dentro de la música bajo una
cultura completamente
machista, y donde había poco
espacio para que la mujer se
desarrollara en los diversos
campos profe-sionales. Isabel
Soto y Lupita Morales son
otro ejemplo de ello, las
primeras mujeres en presentarse en Garibaldi, la plaza
por excelencia del mariachi
en la ciudad de México.
“Es muy bonito ver como
la mujer ha desarrollado un
papel tan importante en la
música mexicana y desafortunadamente los propios
mexicanos no lo sabemos;
muchas veces es apreciado
fuera de nuestro país, como
es este el caso y es impresionante ver este tipo de
exposiciones que son magnificas…” comentó Rosy
Torres como asistente, quien
es la directora del 4to festival
del mariachi en La ciudad de
Rosarito, Baja California,
donde además de impartir
talleres, también actuarán el
Mariachi Divas en un
importante esfuerzo que se
hace en dicha ciudad por
humana, víctimas de la ignorancia y de otras lacras sociales, las cuales algunos
vivales humanos que no son
tan humanos, las convierten en
ignominia y aberración.
En el marco de este Festival
de \octubre, otro cañonazo que
se obtuvo el pasado fín de
semana fue la presentación de
la extraordinaria intérprete
oaxaqueña Lila Downs, en el
escenario de El Foro, el cual
lució pletórico, abarrotado de
fanáticos seguidores del estilo
de la Downs, provenientes de
todo el estado bajacaliforniano,
norte de Sonora y Sur de los
Estados Unidos, los cuales
corearon sus canciones para
aprovechar la celebración del
12 de octubre día de la celebración del descubrimiento de
América por Cristóbal Colón.
Lila Downs es hija de la
cantante mixteca Anita Sánchez y Allen Downs, Profesor
de arte escocés-americano,
director de cine. Lila creció en
Oaxaca, California y Minnesota, donde se graduó en la
Universidad de Minnesota en
dos carreras: Antropología
Social y canto. Su visión
musical es de naturaleza
antropológica, tan variada
como las culturas antiguas que
siguen alimen-tando su inspiración musical.
También se cuenta en el
desarrollo de este festival con
la participación del grupo Voz
Amares de Ensenada, B.C., el
cual presentó un extraordinario
concierto de música clásica en
el Multiforo el pasado jueves.
El grupo está constituido por:
Julia Gaos (Directora artística
y soprano), Alejandra Bolaños
(Directora de escena e iluminación), Esmeralda Gómez
Bibiano (Directora musical,
Mezzosoprano y violinista),
Marcela Islava (Mezzosoprano y fagonistaso), Jorge
Buelna (percusionista y miembro del reconocido grupo
ValiseBlu), Hernán Sánchez
(Videoasta) Claudia Hanani
Guzmán (Maquillaje) y Humberto Morales (Sonido).
El grupo interpretó Hanac
Pachap, Cussicunin, Juramento, Drume Negrito, Tu no
sabe ingle, Nella fantasia y
Just the way you are, entre
otras. El objetivo de este
espectáculo musical es que
permée a través del hermoso
contrapunto musical, fotografías, pinturas y vestuarios
la simpleza y el placer de sentir
una textura.
Para concluir con esta nota
nos permitimos informar la
destacada actuación del actor
clown Javier López Ríos,
miem-bro de la Compañía de
Teatro Strongylus de Chihuahua, quien montó en escena
la obra “Ni con palabras”,
basada en un poema de Jaime
Sabines.
Para realizar su trabajo en
la escena en el montaje de
este espectáculo cómico en
técnica clown, creado a partir
del poema “Digo que no
pueda decirse el amor” de
Jaime Sabines, el cual a la
letra dice: “El amor se come
como un pan, se muerde
como un labio, se bebe
como un manantial. El amor
se llora como un muerto, se
goza como un disfraz,
etc.,etc....”
Basado en el texto de este
poema el actor hizo reír a
carcajada libre al público,
haciendo subir al escenario a
algunos asistentes para que lo
preservar las raíces mexicanas y promover la cultura
entre el turismo el próximo
mes de Octubre.
Los asistentes a la inauguración de “¡Viva! El
mariachi Femenil” entre
quienes se encontraron la
Cónsul General de México
en San Diego Remedios
Gómez Arnau, el vocero de
la fiscalía de la ciudad de San
Diego Jesse Navarro y
medios de comunicación
pudieron dis-frutar de una
pequeña muestra de lo que
es el mariachi inter-pretado
por mujeres; así como lo que
será el concierto del próximo
13 de Octubre encabezado
por Mariachi Divas acompañadas por su líder, la
talentosa trompetista norteamericana Cindy Shea,
primera en la historia en
recibír un premio Grammy
como parte de un mariachi.
Oficialmente el mariachi es

LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO
What the Hispanic community needs is
a political hero!
I
n this abbreviated race for mayor
of San Diego, we find it interesting that the Hispanic community’s
issues and concerns have been
boiled down to each candidate’s position
on Barrio Logan. Barrio Logan has become the defacto litmus test to determine where the candidates stand with the
Hispanic community.
This litmus test is reflected in that
when it comes to the Hispanic community, all the endorsement events seem to
be taking place in Barrio Logan, highlighting Barrio Logan residents, with the
Barrio Logan community plan update the
central issue.
Why are the candidates’ position on the
Hispanic community important? In the
last mayor’s race, ethnic communities,
and in particular the Hispanic community, were instrumental in getting Bob
Filner elected mayor. In a race that was
separated by 23,222 votes, Hispanic support is the swing vote between becoming mayor or not!
The problem with this litmus test is that
it does not reflect the majority of the
Hispanic community!
Barrio Logan is home to about 5000
residents, with a median household income that is 57% less than the median
income for the city of San Diego
($19,968 versus $45,733). Education
levels are extremely low, which disfavor involvement in politics. And the community is dominated by social service
agencies, the Chicano Federation, Barrio Station, Logan Heights Family, Environmental Health Coalition, and the
Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee.
The Hispanic population in the City of
San Diego is approximately 375,000
with 119,190 registered voters that live
throughout the communities of San Diego. The median income for Hispanics
is at $41,301 and this voting population
is primarily comprised of upwardly mobile middle class Hispanics. Their issues
are worlds away from Barrio Logan.
This is not to say that Barrio Logan issues take a back seat to anybody, they
don’t. Barrio Logan is the heart and soul
of the Chicano movement, with historic
murals reflecting the pride and heritage
of the Chicano community.
Yet when it comes to addressing the
issues of this community, candidates
who stand in the middle of Chicano Park
present a façade of interest and concern
but do little to address the issues of the
Hispanic community. The Hispanic community is being looked at as nothing
more than a commodity — as votes
needed for victory!
The candidates have not talked about
political empowerment of the community or representing the interests of the
community. What have the candidates
said that will make a difference to Hispanics? Why should Hispanics vote for
one candidate over another? From what
we have heard so far, after the election it
will be business as usual! Which means
they will acknowledge the Hispanic vote
and then move on!
We appreciate the fact that David
Alvarez is in the race for mayor. Alvarez
is from the community, the Barrio Logan community, yet as such he is focused
on demonstrating that he is capable of
representing the entire community, while
embracing the the idea of being a role
model for the Hispanic community. A
positive role model is a good thing, but
we already have role models that have
come from this community. Ben Hueso
and Juan Vargas have been elected in recent years, and what has that gotten us?
We need more than just role models.
We need action heroes who will move
the Hispanic community forward and
create change.
We need a candidate who will address
the needs of Hispanics in Mission Bay
who are looking for organization and a
voice in their community. The middle
class Hispanics in Clariemont who are
worried about their pensions, will they
be able to retire after 35 years on the
job with the city? Or, will they continue
to pay the price for the political mishandling of the city’s budget? Hispanics in
Tierrasanta are concerned about the educational achievement gap and the everrising cost of a college education.
Then of course are the issues that receive a lot of attention in regards to discussion and focus groups but very little
action such as gangs, drugs, graffiti, housing, unemployment all of which are
prominent within the Hispanic communities south of I-8 and north of Carlsbad.
Instead of addressing these issues, it
is just easier for a photo opp standing in
front of the kiosk in Chicano Park, or
talking in Spanish which Kevin Falconer
is prone to do, which is seen more as
pandering than addressing the issues of
the community.
Politicians see the Hispanic vote as a
commodity and for them it is all about
how they package themselves to get that
vote, without committing themselves to
the Hispanic community!!!
Mayoral Candidates To Hear Questions
From Young Students
Students to Develop Questions for October 30th Mayoral Candidate Forum
San Diego’s Mayoral candidates will face
tough questions from local students at the Mayoral Community Forum on Education scheduled for October 30, 2013 at 5:30 pm at
Roosevelt Middle School. The questions for
the forum will be chosen from questions submitted by student members of the Cesar
Chavez Service Clubs (Chavez Club), a youth
leadership program taught at 17 local schools.
Chavez Club members, called “Chavistas”,
will be asked to develop questions for the candidates that will be considered for this unique
mayoral forum. Chavez Club coordinators will
be asking students to submit a “Youth Leadership Question” or a “YLQ” to the Mayoral
candidates. The Club will create the “Youth
Leaderships Top 10 Questions for Our
Future Mayor” list that will be used at the
October 30 Community Forum on Education
with the candidates.
“Our young Chavistas will be San Diego’s
future leaders,” said Carlos LeGerrette, a Club
Founder. “The young people of our city deserve the opportunity to ask their questions of
those who want to be Mayor and to hear their
answers about how they will support public
education that will prepare all young students
to become future leaders.”
There are 38 different Chavez Clubs located
in 17 local schools with more than 900 student members. The YLQ’s selected from these
students will be posed to the mayoral candidates by a panel of 5 students as representatives of all young students from elementary to
community college level. Students will be
asked to submit their YLQ’s about public education for response from the mayoral candidates.

Close of Legislative Session Brings
Real Gains to California Workers
By Steve Smith
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION
It’s easy to be pessimistic about the future
these days. Tea Party extremists (were) threatening to push our federal government into default. Federal immigration reform is on the back
burner until the shutdown and debt ceiling
messes are sorted out. In a host of states, antiworker governors are hell-bent on gutting workers’ rights while giving more power to corporate special interests.
But in California, a decidedly different story
is playing out. The end of the legislative session here brought huge gains to workers and
their families that boost our state’s economy
and bolster the middle class.
With the federal minimum wage stuck at
$7.25, Gov. Brown signed AB 10, taking
California’s minimum wage to $10 per hour by
January of 2016, a 25 percent wage increase
for low-wage workers in the state. While immigration reform is stalled in DC, Gov. Brown
signed a slew of bills to protect immigrants and
ensure greater inclusion. We’ve tackled the
underground economy. Promoted good jobs.
Axed a boondoggle of a corporate tax break
that wasted taxpayer dollars.
This all comes on the heels of the passage of
Prop. 30 in 2012 (which funded our schools
and stabilized our budget) and the election of
Democratic super-majorities in both the State
Assembly and State Senate, ensuring Tea Party
extremists couldn’t hold California hostage like
they’re doing with the shutdown and debt ceiling debacle in DC.
In short, California is accomplishing what few
in Washington DC can even imagine these days:
Progress for working people.
California Labor Federation Executive Secretary-Treasurer Art Pulaski:
Labor led the way this year in bringing real
equality and progress to working people in California. We reformed tax breaks that cost jobs,
we won rights for domestic workers and car
wash workers, we brought greater equality to
hard-working immigrants, and we began the
essential work of rebuilding the state’s middle
class. With these new laws, there’s no ques-
tion that California is the national leader in supporting workers and their families.
Among the notable legislative victories this
year were the following bills Gov. Brown signed
into law:
• AB 10 (Alejo/Steinberg): Increased the
minimum wage to $10 per hour by January of
2016.
• AB 60 (Alejo): Expanded drivers licenses
to all Californians, with key protections for immigrant drivers.
• AB 93 (Assembly Budget Committee): Reformed the wasteful Enterprise Zone corporate tax breaks to reward employers who create good jobs.
• AB 241 (Ammiano): Granted daily and
weekly overtime protection to domestic workers who have been excluded from most labor
laws.
• AB 263 (Hernandez)/AB 524 (Mullin)/SB
666 (Steinberg): Enacted the strongest protections for immigrant workers in the country to
stop retaliation when workers speak out about
unfair wages or working conditions.
• AB 537 (Bonta): Improved process for public sector bargaining to resolve disputes more
effectively.
• AB 1387 (Hernandez): Protected car wash
workers by preserving the car wash registry
and increasing the bond to crack down on the
underground economy.
• SB 7 (Steinberg): Raised wages for construction workers by incentivizing compliance
with prevailing wage laws.
• SB 168 (Monning): Helped protect workers working for farm labor contractors by providing successor liability to ensure wages are
paid.
• SB 400 (Jackson): Helped domestic violence survivors keep their jobs and promotes a
safer workplace by asking employers to work
with survivors to identify and minimize the risk
of workplace violence.
• SB 770 (Jackson): Expanded paid family leave
to include time providing care for parents-in-law,
siblings, grandparents and grandchildren.
If America needs a path forward, it ought to
be looking to California. Big things are happening here. And we’re just getting started.
THE PUBLIC FORUM ... EL FORO PÚBLICO...
Government Shutdown adds hardship
and cost to funeral
(Editor’s Note: See the frontpage story “Logan Heights veterans honor one of their own,”
and on page 2 in Spanish, for the full story
relating to this letter.)
It is seldom that makes my blood boil. Becoming aware or Army Capt. Jennifer Moreno’s
memorial service at Chicano Park and as a member of the VFW at Logan Heights we became
aware that due to the government shut down that
was no money for her burial.
This you nurse who got an officer’s commission after graduating from the University fo San
Drancisco was very much a role model for young
struggling Latinas not only in Barrio Logan but
throughout San Diego County.
Her mother was beyond herself, crying, shaking, not able to even talk especially after learning
that because of the Government shutdown there
was no money for her burial.
I don’t need Halloween to get “spooked” this
is scary stuff, when you give your life to maintain
or save other lives. Trust and Respect are in order.
What is the message being sent? To the Barrio, to her Familia, to the rest of us who are veterans and soon to be veteranos?
Thee was an anonymous donor who step forward at days end, but this should never have happened.

Ethnic Slur – Redskins? Republicanos: en el hoyo y
siguen cavando
By Raoul Lowery Contreras
to change its stand.”
Interesting how the two sub-tribes split on
the issue, just as tribes split on the REDSKIN
name for the D.C football team. A Virginia
tribe’s Chairman (Chief) is a Redskin fan and
thinks the name is just fine. Oneida does not.
NCAA policy must mean it reacts if anyone
is “offended” not a majority or plurality, just
one person.
This is an ongoing national dispute, which also
is close to this writer’s alma mater, San Diego
State University (SDSU).
Since the first San Diego State team was
fielded almost 100 years ago, the team’s nickname has been, by student vote – the Aztecs.
As the college campus was built on what was
called Montezuma Mesa the name AZTECS
is not coincidental.
Every American history student knows who
Montezuma was; he was the Aztec Emperor
of one of the world’s largest empires in 1519
when 200 Spanish soldiers of fortune led by
Hernando Cortes landed in Mexico and with
the help of Mexican Indian allies conquered
the Aztec Empire and founded the modern
world as we know it.
Several years ago, fewer than ten Amerindian
students and Anglo-fellow travelers on the San
Diego State campus challenged the use of the
Aztec nickname using the North Dakota University case as precedent. The protest received
some serious attention because the local newspaper editorial staff was stupid and fell for the
entire protest which had no basis whatsoever.
¸First of all, there is no Aztec tribe today. Secondly, the Aztecs merely passed through what
is now the United States of America on their
way south to the Valley of Mexico. The Aztecs were never an American tribe.
Thirdly, the university blew off the complaint
then scheduled a referendum on the subject.
The Aztec name won with more than 95% yes
votes.
The NCAA can stuff it. So can those that
protest the name “Redskins.”
My favorite television advertisement showed
longtime Dallas Cowboy (NFL team) coach
Tom Landry, cowboy hat and range dust coat
walking out of a western saloon remarking
about avoiding trouble in the form of Redskins
— as several football players walked by him
wearing NFL Redskin uniforms with the patented Redskins logo on their helmets.
When he said “Redskins,” for a millisecond
I fully expected to see a buckskin clad
Amerindian with a feather head dress and bow
and arrow (Johnny Depp?); I heartily laughed
when I saw the “Washington Redskins” football players, Landry’s most competitive opponents.
It was a credit card commercial; I laughed
so hard I still remember it to this day.
Redskins, it is.
The Washington, D.C. National Football
league (NFL) team is named the Redskins; it
has been for over 80 years. It was named the
Boston Braves when it was in Boston.
Fans of the team call themselves Redskin
Nation. They are everywhere; they include
Presidents, Senators, congressmen, Henry
Kissinger and lots of people despite Washington not being a very large city.
A New York State recognized Native American tribe, the Oneida, is trying to change the
name because, the tribe says, REDSKINS demeans and insults “Native Americans,” a relatively new politically correct term. It is designed
to replace “American Indian,” or just “Indian.”
The Oneida Tribe finances its campaign against
the REDSKIN name from its tax-free gambling casino.
One rung below professional football this
same general “team names” campaign against
ethnic “insulting” has been running rampant at
the college level since protesters forced
California’s elite private Stanford University to
change its team name – the Stanford INDIANS – to the Stanford Cardinal.
Since then the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) has been forcing colleges/
universities to change names the NCAA considers “insulting” of American Indian
(Amerindian) people. The NCAA is an illegal
cartel, an illegal monopoly in the eyes of many.
The NCAA threatens colleges/universities
with withdrawal of athletic recognition ability
to compete with an NCAA schools.
The Associated Press (AP) carried this report in April, 2011:
“BISMARCK, N.D. — A new state law that
orders the University of North Dakota to
keep its Fighting Sioux nickname won’t
shield the school from penalties for continuing to use a moniker the NCAA considers
hostile to American Indians, an NCAA executive told the school Tuesday.
The law, which says UND must use the
nickname and a logo featuring the profile
of an American Indian warrior, “cannot
change the NCAA policy” against using
American Indian nicknames, logos or mascots that are considered offensive, said Bernard Franklin, an NCAA executive vice
president.
In a letter to UND President Robert Kelley,
Franklin said the university must follow an
agreement it made in October 2007 to discontinue using the nickname and logo by
Aug. 15, 2011, unless it received approval
from North Dakota’s Spirit Lake and Standing Rock Sioux tribes (one tribe, two reservations).
Spirit Lake tribal members endorsed the
nickname and logo in a referendum, and the
tribe’s governing council followed. The
Standing Rock Sioux’s tribal council, which C o n t re r a s ’ b o o k s a re a v a i l a b l e a t
has long opposed the nickname, has declined amazon.com

Aun en medio del tranque presupuestario,
que culminó en el cierre del gobierno federal,
activistas e inmigrantes no quitan el dedo del
renglón, aunque muchos consideren que se
trate de un grito en medio del desierto.
Es prematuro escribir la esquela de la
reforma migratoria porque, sobre todo en este
clima de inacción y partidismo, el tema sigue
representando una buena oportunidad política
para que ambos partidos, en especial los
republicanos, demuestren que son capaces de
legislar y atajar temas apremiantes para el país.
El cierre gubernamental plasma la disfuncionalidad del Congreso de poder compartido,
la politiquería barata de quienes están en
constante campaña y no cesan ni siquiera para
concretar las promesas que formularon
precisamente durante las campañas.
Según sondeos, el tranque y las pataletas de
los legisladores han resultado en los niveles de
aprobación más abismales que el Congreso haya
experimentado en los últimos años. La culpa es
compartida por los dos partidos, pero los
estadounidenses responsabilizan más a los
republicanos, y no es por casualidad.
Ha sido perturbador el espectáculo que han
ofrecido los republicanos en la Cámara Baja,
con una treintena de congresistas extremistas
tomando como rehén a todo su caucus e
insistiendo en cerrar el gobierno con miras a
renegociar la ley sanitaria del Obamacare, que
buscan revocar a toda costa.
Las críticas a la excesiva y terca estrategia han
venido de algunos republicanos, tanto
legisladores como estrategas, preocupados por
la ruta que lleva el partido y por un presidente
cameral, John Boehner, que ha permitido que
una minoría extremista de su caucus lleve la voz Maribel Hastings es asesora ejecutiva de

Inconsciencia de “redskins”
Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D.
indígena tendían, especialmente la religión
Azteca, a reprimir los derechos individuales y
a ofuscar la vida del ser humano; podría
incluso considerárselos como elementos de
una costumbre barbárica. Empero, no todo lo
que encontraron los españoles fue malo.
Cristóbal Colón llegó a una de las islas del
Caribe un 12 de octubre de 1492. Pensando
erróneamente que había llegado al este de la
Indias, Colón bautizó a los habitantes de la
isla con el nombre de indios. Con el correr del
tiempo, los españoles etiquetaron al indio como
salvaje, incivilizado, impío, en palabras del
filósofo inglés Thomas Hobbes, como gente
que vive en un “estado de naturaleza”.
Con la Encomienda, la Mita, y otros sistemas
sociales de exclusión y trabajo forzado, las
Naciones Originarias no solo fueron estigmatizadas como “indios”, sino que también que
fueron desprovistos de su esencia y de sus
derechos étnico-nacionales.
Hoy, en los países con poblaciones
altamente “indígenas”, la palabra indio se ha
convertido en un insulto y en una forma de
pisotear al individuo. Muy similar a la palabra
“niggro”, el cual menosprecia y confunde la
esencial de una persona que tiene
descendencia africana, la palabra “indio” viola
la identidad propia de las Naciones Originarias
de América.
Aunque vanagloriado por la cultura deportiva
norteamericana, “redskin” es un término
peyorativo y excluyente. Es un recuerdo
constante del ultraje europeo a las naciones
Originarias de América del Norte. Bob Costas
está en lo correcto.
Recientemente, a medio tiempo del partido
de futbol americano entre los Redskins de
Washington y los Cowboys de Dallas, el
periodista deportivo Bob Costas sintetizó la
utilización de la palabra “Redskins” como un
estandarte a la opresión y un insulto a las
Naciones Originarias de América del Norte.
“Redskins”, “indios”, “mestizos”, entre otros,
encarnan elementos negativos que enaltece al
que lo usa y denigra a la persona referida. En
términos sociológicos, la utilización de estos
conceptos son imposiciones del grupo(s)
dominante(s) hacia los grupos subordinados.
Los comentarios que hizo Costas no son una
casualidad ni mucho menos una reacción
espontanea. Las ideas fueron articuladas antes del partido y están relacionados a la fecha
alusiva de la llegada de los españoles al “nuevo
mundo”.
La versión oficial de esta llegada está
matizada con el susodicho de “descubrimiento
de América”.
Las crónicas de los españoles –de Bernal
Díaz del Castillo, entre otros— hacen una
descripción de los hechos de su llegada,
utilizando el lenguaje dominante español,
especialmente con una perspectiva ideológica
eurocentrista, donde ellos (los españoles) son
los buenos y las naciones originarias de América
los malos, los salvajes, los impuros, los
profanadores de la palabra de dios y los
incivilizados.
Las crónicas españolas, muy raras veces,
hacen alusión a culturas altamente capacitadas.
En ningún momento los españoles trataron de
socializar y entender las costumbres y creencias Humberto Caspa, Ph.D., es profesor e
de las Naciones Originarias de América. Por investigador de Ecomonics On The Move.
cierto, algunos derivados de la religión politeísta E-mail: [email protected]
La preocupación es válida. Un nuevo
sondeo de Public Policy Polling comisionado
por MoveOn.org Political Action, encontró que
la ira pública por el cierre gubernamental podría
costar a los republicanos el control de la
Cámara de Representantes.
Los demócratas necesitarían 17 escaños para
recuperar la mayoría de la Cámara de
Representantes, al presente con un balance de
234 republicanos y 201 demócratas. El sondeo
encontró que en 17 distritos competitivos
analizados, los titulares republicanos podrían
perder sus lugares. En otros cuatro, los titulares
republicanos perdieron ventaja cuando los
votantes encuestados se enteraron de que su
representante apoyó el cierre gubernamental.
Es también un grupo de extremistas republicanos el que por años ha controlado el
mensaje y la estrategia migratoria para perjuicio
del Partido Republicano.
Ahora que su imagen se ha visto todavía más
afectada con el lío presupuestario, la reforma
migratoria ofrece una vía de rehabilitación que
el liderazgo republicano no debe
desaprovechar.
Hay una mayoría para aprobar un presupuesto libre de condiciones sobre el Obamacare, y
también existe la mayoría simple de 218 votos
para impulsar la reforma migratoria en la Cámara
de Representantes. El proyecto de ley de
reforma que presentaron los demócratas la
semana pasada puede servir de punto de
partida.
Ambos partidos necesitan evidenciar algún
logro legislativo de cara a las elecciones de
medio tiempo en 2014.
Como clamaron a través del país miles de
personas de diverso trasfondo, es hora de que
la Cámara Baja deje a un lado el circo
electorero y permita un debate y una votación
de un plan de reforma migratoria que avance,
aunque sea con una mayoría demócrata y con
un reducido grupo de republicanos interesados
en sacar a su partido del hoyo que siguen
cavando, liderados por Boehner y por los
extremistas que llevan la batuta.
Dear Mexican: My wife and I are
looking to buy our first house. Being
young (ish) and hip (ish) we’re looking
into buying in Santa Ana. It’s amazing
how much house and land you can get
for $350K compared to the twobedroom stacked cracker boxes in
South OC. My question is two-fold: Has
Santa Ana always been predominately
Latino, and if not, when did this
demographic shift occur? Growing up in
south OC in the 1980s, Santa Ana was
just a place where white kids DID NOT
GO (at least not until we were older, and
wanted to buy beer without getting
carded). Second, the neighborhoods:
why are some so pristine and some sort
of terrifying? Wilshire Square and
Washington Square are gorgeous, but
you go a couple of streets over, and it
looks like a São Paulo favela. What
gives? Why were some neighborhoods
so amazingly preserved??
Mr. X
Dear Gabacho: Before I answer your
question, déjame put it in a national context
for non-Orange County readers so they don’t
skip ahead to the next question. Gentle
cabrones: the gabacho refers to OC’s
county seat, the largest city in the United
States with an all-Latino city council and one
that’s about 90 percent Latino. All major
cities or metropolitan areas have a
neighborhood or ciudad like this, a place the
Reconquista gobbled up, that got demonized
for decades by scaredy-cat gabachos and
that Brave New Urbanists are planning to
gentrify. The hipsters that are already there,
meanwhile, adore their new barrio because of
the low rents, older housing stock and quaint
neighbors, neighbors they’ll call code
enforcement on the minute the music is too
loud on a Sunday morning or the front yard
corn grows too high.
Back to the
gabacho: SanTana
(and, yes: spell it like
this, as that’s how the
natives pronounce it)
always had Mexican
neighborhoods due to
housing covenants that
restricted where they
could buy homes. Once the Supreme Court
ruled such regulations unconstitutional,
Mexicans (and African-Americans, as well)
tried to move on up in the city, only to have
gabachos of your parents’ generation move
to soulless suburbs, where they bred
privileged pendejos like yourself who
exaggerate about EVERYTHING. You’ve
even been to a favela? Of course not,
because your hipster ass would either be
turned into a drug mule or a puddle of
quivering piss. So to compare barrios to
favelas is insulting to your new neighbors,
and typical of hipster douchebaggery. Can’t
wait to see the fit you’ll throw when the guy
across the street parks his truck on his lawn
for the first time…
Why do Mexicans love Van Damme?
El Karatekero Loco
Dear Wab: An immigrant who speaks bad
English, who kicks everyone’s ass for
getting in his way, who beds multiple women
yet has a heart of gold, who seems to fight
for vengeance or honor (and usually both)
and always wins—what isn’t there to love?
Jean—Claude Van Damme is our Belgian
food soldier for the Reconquista—minus the
atrocity that was Double Team with Dennis
Rodman, of course…

Indian Removal:
justice denied
(con’t from page 1)
symbol of dehumanization, there is something
beyond them that is even more disturbing.
What unfolds before the judge is not supposed
to be taking place in an American courtroom,
just as torture is not supposed to be part of
“the American way.” What unfolds in these
90-minute show trials is that the anonymous
prisoners are identified, charged, convicted,
sentenced and shipped to a private prison.
A recent court decision requires judges to
address each defendant personally. That may
add 30 minutes to this procedure. This is justice American-style. It is lots of things. But
the one thing it is not is a deliberative process.
For the prisoners, there is no true consultation and no deliberation. The court grants a
three-hour block each morning between 9 AM
and noon for attorneys to consult with their
clients in the open courtroom. Each attorney
is assigned eight to nine clients per day (and is
compensated fairly well). What serious legal
scholar will contend that one attorney can do
an adequate job, much less a competent job,
under such conditions and time constraints?
With such an assembly-line approach to this
procedure, it is not a stretch to view this as
America’s modern version of Expedited Indian Removal.
Since early 2008, I have witnessed this sham
of a judicial procedure approximately a dozen
times, and every time, my students are literally sickened by it. I too get internally ill from
the exasperation produced by what passes for
a judicial procedure. Each time, the students
have wanted to ask the judge why the men
and women are in chains. Each time, they also
have had the impulse to ask the lawyers why
they participate in this farce. And each time,
they want to ask the judge why the prisoners
get sent off to a private prison? Who benefits?
Is that what this comes down to? Profiting
from the misery of human beings - human
beings who brave deserts, mountains and rivers for a chance at a better life?
Each time I visit, I have had students run
out crying and some vomiting at the obscenity, the inhumanity of seeing human beings
shackled, treated like animals. And they always ask: Why is it a crime to attempt to feed
your family?
The color of the prisoners never escapes
them. Many of them look like them. In many
cases, they are them. Every semester, especially this one, I always have students dealing
with family separations and deportations.
I remember the first time I went to this operation, President George W. Bush was in
office. When Sen. Barack Obama ran for and
won the presidency, we all thought that this
kangaroo court procedure finally would be shut
down, something akin to the fall of the Berlin
Wall. Instead, as written into the current comprehensive immigration reform proposal, this
Expedited Indian Removal program will become three times bigger than its current form.
It is incomprehensible that Operation
Streamline hasn’t been shut down and instead
Congress may be expanding it.
There was a time when being apprehended
on the border simply meant returning the migrants across the border ... until someone decided that criminalization and incarceration
could be profitable - literally, a big business.
The more bodies, the more beds, the more
money for the private prison industry.
Tucson human rights legend Isabel Garcia
visited my classroom last month. In presenting this topic, she noted that one time, an African-American delegation witnessed the operation and left early in disgust. Afterward,
she asked them why they did not wait until it
was over. She said they left because the brown
men in shackles, all lined up on one side of the
courtroom, created the imagery of Africans
in slave ships.
Yes. They could see it. Not the judge, not
the lawyers. Chances are good that all visitors who witness this daily dehumanization can
see something similar - something onerous that
often cannot be described. This is compounded
by the fact that we live with death all around
us on the militarized border - more than 6,000
since NAFTA.
When my students leave the courtroom,
they say they feel defiled, dirty ... as if they
have just witnessed something abominable,
something that should not be taking place,
something contrary to the US Constitution,
something amoral. And all of it takes place
compliments of our tax dollars.
Perhaps one day, this debased procedure will
be shut down permanently.
The uglier reality is that such an operation
might actually give prosecutors the opposite
idea of using a similar procedure for other kinds
of crimes ... such as for traffic violations, theft,
etc.
Really, it is sicker, more obscene and more
offensive than anything that can be described
here. Truly, it is Expedited Indian Removal.

otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of: PAUL MARSHALL
A Petition for Probate has been filed by:
BETTY JEAN ROBERTS in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Diego
The Petition for Probate requests that:
BETTY JEAN ROBERTS be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative
to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the personal
representative will be required to give
notice to interested persons unless they
have waived notice or consented to the
proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless
an interested person files an objection to
the petition and shows good cause why
the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held
in this court as follows: Date: OCT 31,
2013. Time: 1:30 P.M. Dept.: PC-2
Address of court: SUPERIOR COURT OF
CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO,
1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA
92101. Madge Bradley - PROBATE
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and
state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy
to the personal representative appointed
by the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provided
in Probate Code section 9100. The time
for filling claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date notice above.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in the
estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of
the filing of an inventory and appraisal of
estate assets or of any petition or account
as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Dia de los Muertos is celebrated throughout Latin America as an act of remembrance.
On these days, every year,
families celebrate their dead, by
remembering them and welcoming them back into the
world of the living for a visit
always too short. It is a tradition
very deeply rooted in community, history and culture.
Traditionally, communities have
processions into the cemeteries
where families clean and decorate the graves of their loved
ones, leave ofrendas and sere-

On this side of the border,
Dia de los Muertos is celebrated
as an act of reassertion. Reassertion that traditions like Dia
de los Muertos need to be practiced and celebrated in order to
survive when they cross the
border into the United States.
In border communities, the reality of familial separation is
made all the more obvious by
the wall that separates most
families from their homelands.
Grandparents are usually buried in other lands, and opportunities are missed to pass along
family stories to the younger
generations. In San Ysidro, the
little town nestled against the
US/Mexico border fence, we
celebrate Dia de los Muertos
to keep these traditions alive.
With live Mariachi, Balet
Folklorico and Danza Azteca,
Casa Familiar, San Ysidro’s
leading Social Services and
Community Development organization, hopes to pay homage to the dead by paying homage to the tradition of day of
the dead itself. The San Ysidro
Community Park is transformed into El Panteon
Fronterizo, (a mock cemetery),
where artists and community
members will create graves
and bring their offerings such
as, food, photos and momentos to best honor the dead they
may not be able to visit this
year. The graves are ofrendas
and their creation will pose the
question, Who do you celebrate, and how to you remember? The Panteon
Fronterizo is a collection of creative graves, in honor of those
who have passed, of those
who’s graves are inaccessible
to us for whatever reason. In
our little park by the border,
these graves will become our
access points. to our families,
our traditions, our cultures, our
histories. all of ours. celebrating the bridging of borders of
time and space. celebrating our
dead, and keeping them alive
by re-membering our stories.
The celebration will take
place at The San Ysidro Civic
Center, an indoor space, where
families will be able to sit down
and enjoy performances by our
local Balet Folklorico. Adjacent
to the Civic Center, is the San
Ysidro Community Park which
will house our Panteon
Fronterizo, craft vendors, food
trucks, and a live performance
by our musical highlight. The
Celebration is free to all, and
champurrado and pan de
muerto will be given as is customary in Latin American
countries.

Ballet Folklorico Tierra
Caliente, will lead the
Oct. 27 class at the
Escondido campus
The California Center for the
Arts, Escondido (the Center)
has partnered with Ballet
Folklorico Tierra Caliente
(BFTC) to offer local dance
students the opportunity to explore the history and movement of Mexican Folkloric
dance.
The two-hour intensive will
take the students through the
meaning of the movements,
costumes and steps, and culminate with them learning a
choreographed folkloric number. Participants must be at
least 14 years old and have
basic dance experience.
The master class will take
place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Sun., Oct. 27 in Studio 4. Tickets cost $15 for Center Members and $20 for non-members.
The price of the master class
includes admission to BFTC’s
performance in the Center’s
Concert Hall on Fri., Nov. 1.
That dance show will fittingly
take place on the Day of the
Dead— the annual Mexican
holiday during which family and
friends gather to honor and celebrate the lives of those who
have passed. Like the holiday
itself, BFTC is preparing a vibrant, cheerful and celebratory
show. The dance company will
be performing an exciting repertoire incorporating music, costumes and choreographies in
interpretation of Mexican regional dances.
Ballet Folklorico Tierra
Caliente was founded in 2005
by Jose Jaimes, who serves as
the company’s artistic director
and dance instructor. BFTC’s
mission is to represent the various visual and performing artistic branches that Mexican
Folklore has to offer, serving as
representatives of the moving
art. Through Ballet Folklorico,
members experience the richness of their heritage and grow
in confidence and expertise,
soon becoming performers in
front of both small and large
audiences. Along with dance
education, the students learn to
appreciate the Mexican arts,
culture, tradition and history.
For more information about
the BFTC master class and the
troupe’s Nov. 1 performance,
