The family piled into a car, drove down to the border, and pulled her out of a hole in the ground — literally. We took Interstate 5 South on a mission to rescue my tía Martha. After 30 years in the United States, she was deported three years ago to Tijuana, the bottom of California - el culo del diablo. We hadn’t heard from her since. `It was because of the Mexican TV news program, Televisa, that we were able to find her. A reporter for Televisa, Vanessa Job, did a report on the ñongos — undergound bunkers in the canals of the Tijuana border, where camps of deported and homeless people are living in subhuman conditions. The term ñongo has several definitions in Spanish, including being in a dificult situation. Growing up, I knew the term to mean a knot — a tight spot, between a rock and a hard place. Televisa interviewed my aunt in March 2013. A month later, after stumbling upon a rerun of the program, my aunt’s sister-in-law contacted Martha’s oldest son Lupe to show him where his mother was. I was at home in Tracy, Calif., when my dad called me to tell me that they had seen a video of my aunt Martha in Tijuana. He told me to go on the computer and look at the YouTube video, and find out where exactly she was. As I watched the video, I was delirious. The pixilated digital image of my aunt on the laptop screen wasn’t the same as when I saw her in the flesh. Watching footage of my aunt living in those bunkers felt like watching a tragic movie. Our family contacted the reporter, who found my tía, and they followed us as we traveled south from the Central Valley to find her. José, Martha’s older brother, rented a Ford Flex and the group of sons, brothers and sisters piled in, ready to get Martha back to safety. We started from Tracy and went through the fields of the Central Valley where my family first worked in this country, down to Southern California’s coast, and into Tijuana, Mexico. By the time we arrived, it was still hard to believe Martha, my aunt — who watched me grow up, who’s children all were born in the United States and came to my birthday par(see Rescuing My Aunt, page 7) La Prensa Muñoz, Inc. Publications JUNE 21, 2013 Problemas financieros y administrativos en el distrito escolar de San Ysidro Por Citlalli Rodríguez El distrito escolar de San Ysidro se enfrenta a una fuerte problemática en cuestiones financieras y administrativas que representa un déficit de 4 millones de dólares presupuestales en el presente año fiscal del 20132014. La situación se agrava cada día para la mesa directiva, maestros, alumnos y padres de familia de la comunidad de San Ysidro. El rezago no es más que resultado de la mala administración por parte del superintendente Manuel Paul, y los turbios manejos del monto presupuestal para beneficio personal por lo que ahora enfrenta un proceso penal ante las autoridades por desvío de recursos y nepotismo dentro de su administración. La situación económica y los recursos con los que cuenta no son nada alentadores para el próximo año, pues de no encontrar una mejoraría en la situación económica del distrito, se habla sobre la intervención del Estado en el distrito, hecho que provocaría la desaparición de la mayoría de los puestos administrativos actuales, sin grandes repercusiones en el personal docente.

The boy who was on the verge of becoming a man died in a fatal shooting in Chula Vista in November, 2007 just minutes before he was to turn 18. The case was never solved. But his name will live on over a 3½ by 15 foot mural unveiled Friday at the Lincoln Acres branch of the San Diego County Library. Rodriguez was a student worker there and he’s remembered for being passionate about literacy and library services for children. During the unveiling, County Board of Supervisors Chairman Greg Cox told a gathering of friends, co-workers and neighbors the mural reflects what Rodriguez’ life was all about. “He spent his life helping members of his family and the community to Jose Luis Rodriguez Jose Luis Rodriguez will live on over a 3½ by 15 foot mural unveiled Friday at the Lincoln Acres branch of the San Diego County Library. thrive and become better people,” place where locals take advantage of Art Project Director Dan Evers. “He all the library has to offer, where they was an example of leaving the world said Chairman Cox. “The mural is symbolic of the build- attend events, laugh and play in the better than he found it.” The Rainforest Art Project created ing of community at Lincoln Acres,” park just steps from the library’s front said Library Director Jose Aponte. door.

Luego se me metió en la cabeza que bizarro era un género artístico de lo que no se podía clasificar, raro, anormal, atípico. Hoy, me la juego a que bizarro es simplemente la descripción de las acciones de las organizaciones “proinmigrantes” interesadas en que se apruebe una legislación anti-inmigrante en Estados Unidos y punto. Veamos: en la última semana he escuchado (para empezar con Illinois), doce mil llamados a saludar a la jefecita de nuestro senador Republicano, Mark Kirk, por haber votado en contra de que se discutiera el proyecto de ley SB 744 en el pleno del Senado. Ese es un llamado bizarro, porque la votación fue de 82 votos a favor y solamente 15 en contra, contando a Kirk, o sea que lo que Kirk votara valía sombrilla. Luego, en la cámara baja un congresista también Republicano y de bizarro nombre, Trey Gowdy, de Carolina del Sur, propuso una ley con el más bizarro nombre de “SAFE” (Fortalecimiento y Refuerzo de la Aplicación [de la Ley de Inmigración]). La propuesta, según quienes llaman a también recordarle su jefecita a Gowdy, reforzaría el fallido programa 287(g), mejor conocido como Polimigra y que probó ser tan bizarro que hasta la misma administración de Barack Obama lo descartó por irracional. Es el uso de policías locales en calidad de agentes de la Migra. Más bizarro aún, propone que cada estado decida qué quiere hacer en términos de inmigración, estilo Alabama o Arizona, validando las detenciones y arrestos de quienes “parezcan indocumentados”, cosa que hasta la Suprema Corte ya rechazó. Seguidita de ésa vino otra propuesta, también Republicana y también en la cámara baja, llamada “Legal Workforce Act (LWA), H.R. 1772 (Ley del Trabajo Legal), que establece como obligatorio el uso del sistema E-Verify, esa bizarra mezcla de las bases de datos de la Migra, el Seguro Social, la CIA, el FBI y los 400 mil terroristas más buscados desde que mataron a Bin Laden, y que en teoría permite saber quién si tiene “derecho” y quién no, de trabajar en este país. Hoy es obligatorio solamente para las compañías de más de 10 mil trabajadores, las que tengan contratos con el gobierno federal o el ejército, y las que manejen sustancias o materiales (como el nitrato de amonia) que puedan ser usados para volar un edificio federal como lo hizo Timothy McVeight en Oklahoma. JUNE 21, 2013 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO A Gang of 12 and Alleged Femicide in Ciudad Juarez FRONTERA NORTESUR The first round of court appearances in a case against 12 Ciudad Juarez residents accused in the mass disappearance and murder of girls and young women concluded this past weekend. The defendants, 10 men and 2 women, are charged in connection with the murders of 11 victims whose remains were recovered from the rural Juarez Valley and 2 others who were found slain in the city. All the victims vanished from Ciudad Juarez between 2009 and 2011. Reportedly, the remains of at least 23 female murder victims have been discovered in the Navajo Arroyo of the Juarez Valley since 2011, but the indictments publicized last week only charge the defendants in crimes involving 11 of the Navajo Arroyo cases. “Sadness and anger,” is how Carmen Castillo, mother of 17year-old victim Monica Liliana Delgado, described her feelings shortly after the arrests were announced last week. Castillo told FNS that she and other relatives of victims were not initially notified by the Chihuahua state prosecutor’s office (FGECH) of arrests that received prominent play in the Mexican and border media. The detentions were announced as national and international pressure to address the long-running abductions and killings of women and renew federal intervention reached another boiling point. For instance, in the very same week the state of Chihuahua rolled out its legal case, a group of Ciudad Juarez mothers met in Mexico City with Federal Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam. Unsatisfied with Murillo’s posture and supported by exiled Ciudad Juarez activist Malu Garcia, the women later set up a protest encampment outside Interior Ministry headquarters, vowing to stay until President Enrique Peña Nieto agreed to meet with them. On Saturday, June 15, the group symbolically shut down the National Palace by hoisting in front of its entrance a giant banner emblazoned with the word “Closed.” The action was the second time in less than two months that mothers of disappeared or murdered women from Ciudad Juarez have publicly protested in the Mexican capital. “We understand the desperation of the mothers,” Imelda Marrufo, member of the Women’s Roundtable of Ciudad Juarez, wrote in an email to FNS. “We consider it their right to act and to pressure. We think they should be attended in Juarez, so they don’t get more worn out.” San Ysidro (con’t de página 1) tros con más de dos décadas presentando sus servicios en el distrito de San Ysidro han tenido que doblar esfuerzos para impartir las clases, ya que el número de alumnos por salón fue aumentado hasta 30 niños, lo cual hace imposible dar la misma calidad de enseñanza que con el número Normales y promedio de 22-24 niños por Desmemoriados salón; esto, sin contar el recorte Obviamente, otras doce de días de clases y de paseos mil voces se alzaron inmediatamente para “llamar educativos, por lo que los profesores están recibiendo a los congresistas y decirles que no apoyen estas leyes”, menos sueldo y más trabajo en bla, bla, bla.

A dizzying week began unfolding Tuesday, June 11, when the FGECH unveiled its case against 12 suspects in the media. According to state law enforcement officials, the indicted individuals were part of a multi-layered network that tracked and lured teenage girls and young women with job interviews only to gang-press the hapless job-seekers into drug addiction and prostitution, under threat of harm to themselves and their families. Allegedly, the victims sold their bodies and drugs at the Hotel Rio de Janiero and Hotel Verde, two cheap hotels in the downtown and Bella Vista districts of Ciudad Juarez, respectively, and were driven around to other hotels and private residences to peddle their services. “These men knew with perfection the family surroundings of the young women, and that’s how they threatened them with possibly killing their parents and siblings if they rejected working for them” Jorge Gonzalez Nicolas, Ciudad Juarez district attorney, was quoted in the press. Captives deemed unruly or no longer “useful” were murdered and disposed of in the Juarez Valley, the state charged. An intense period of murder and mayhem as depicted by the FGECH happened during the peak of Ciudad Juarez’s recent violence, and transpired in a zone which was crawling with army troops and federal police assigned to the former Calderon administration’s Joint Operation Chihuahua. The Juarez Valley, where the women’s remains were discovered, was likewise overrun with police, soldiers and paramilitary groups during the years in question. “As part of the search investigation, the investigative and women’s prosecutors did searches in the Juarez Valley, raids, operations in downtown Juarez, and more than 150 field interviews and interrogations that led to the finding of the probable guilty parties of the murders,” the FGECH said in a statement. Charged with different crimes including human trafficking and homicide are: Victor Chavira Garcia, Camilo del Real Buendia, Edgar Jesus Regalado Villa, Manuel Vital Anguiano, Jose Gerardo Puentes Alba, Cesar Felix Romero Esparza, Jose Antonio Contreras Terrazas, Jesus Hernadnez Martinez, Rafael Mena, Raquel Venegas Trevino, Eduardo Sanchez Hermosillo, and Esperanza Castillo Saldana. Six of the defendants were already jailed for other crimes when the femicide-related indictments were handed down. Mostly minors, the 13 victims covered in the legal case include: Monica Liliana Delgado Castillo, Idaly Juache Laguna, Maria Guadalupe Perez Montes, Lizbeth Aviles Garcia, Perla Ivonne Aguirre Gonzalez, Beatriz Alejandra Hernandez Trejo, Jessica Terrazas Ortega, Jazmin Salazar Ponce, Jusalet Alejandra de la Cruz Lucio, and Nancy Gomez Farias. Pieces of the state’s case have been trickling out in the media for some time. State law enforcement agents searched the Hotel Verde last March, even though the establishment had been closed ever since two federal police officers were killed at the premises in late 2010. In April, the local press reported that a detained 17year-old was providing information about a band responsible for killing women found in the Juarez Valley. Also in April, Juan Jose Roldan de la Cruz, or “El Miguelito,” died after a confrontation with state police; according to one version, the purported human trafficker/ pimp and leader of the band abducting girls provided the same police agency with information about associates now charged with murder and human trafficking. Roldan’s son, Alexis Adrian Roldan, is serving a 15-year sentence for sexually assaulting and stabbing two girls. Some defendants and their supporters protested their innocence. Camilo del Real Buendia, proprietor of a modeling and television advertising agency, acknowledged that he had two professional contacts with 19-year-old victim Idaly Juache but insisted he had nothing to do with her disappearance and death. The 38year-old defendant broke down on the stand, sobbing and swearing that he “prayed” for Juache every day. “Mister prosecutors,” pleaded del Real. “Don’t keep destroying lives like you’ve done today. I am not guilty.” Del Real claimed he did know the other co-defendants. On June 14 and 15, hundreds of supporters of 78-yearold Victor Chavira, owner of El Caporal cowboy attire store in downtown Juarez, staged public demonstrations on his behalf. In the courtroom, lawyer Jose Luis Erives asked Judge Apolinar Juarez Castro to transfer his client to a hospital because of the elderly man’s fragile health condition. In response to a story about the arrests in the El Paso Times, Mayo del próximo año, el distrito pudiera recibir la intervención del Estado. Sin embargo, confía en que esto no va a suceder, y asegura firmemente que por su parte, hará lo que imposible para no permitir que esto pase en su comunidad. No obstante, estas dificultades en el sistema no impiden del todo la educación y progreso de los alumnos. En contraparte, a pesar de todas las incompetencias en su distrito alumnos del 3er grado escolar fueron premiados por obtener el primer lugar en el condado en un concurso de matemáticas denominado “Math 24”. En el cual, se posicionaron como los número uno de su grado, a su vez este hecho viene a dar un toque de esperanza a maestros, padres y trabajadores, para trabajar en comunión por su distrito y tener más ejemplos de jóvenes destacados.

ISSN 07389183 a writer who identified herself as Sonia Munoz of the University of Texas at El Paso, posted a message on the newspaper’s website claiming to be Chavira’s niece. “My uncle is an elderly man about to hit 70, with diabetes, in need of a liver transplant, can barely see or walk anymore. The business is family owned and is now run by his children. We come from a family of values and hard working people,” the message read in part. “It’s election time in Juarez so they want to show the city is getting cleaned up. Unfortunately, at the cost of innocent people. Our hearts go out to the families that have lost their loved ones and they have the right to seek justice. The real criminals are still out there.” According to the writer, one of the disappeared girls did indeed apply for a job at Chavira’s store when he was not present, but the businessman’s family has “cooperated fully with the police” and handed over a video that shows the girl exiting the establishment. Imelda Marrufo, however, said the non-governmental Women’s Roundtable considers the detentions “a step forward.” The FGECH’S hypothesis is on mark, with evidence gathered and submitted by several mothers backing up the state’s case, Marrufo said. “The special prosecutor for gender crimes knows that it is our position that due process be protected,” she added. “Since the government of Chihuahua has been an example of bad practices, it is understandable that the community does not believe in the elements for the detentions.” “I don’t know really what to think,” said Carmen Castillo, adding that officials had previously “given me many stories.” For Castillo, a couple of the state’s assertions stand out, including the systematic targeting of “poor girls” in need of work, and the date of her daughter Monica’s disappearance (October 2010) compared with the closure of the Hotel Verde only days later, meaning that if Monica had been held against her will at the hotel it couldn’t have been for very long. Television is a common thread linking three of the Juarez Valley murder victims. Both Idaly Juache and Monica Delgado appeared in commercials that were filmed shortly before their disappearances and run on Channel 2, the Televisa affiliate in Ciudad Juarez. According to Castillo, her daughter commented that a “casting” was in the works but did not go into detail.

Day Rosalinda Guillen is short of stature, but she commands a striking presence when talking to activists about her passion for organizing immigrants and forming cooperatives. Guillen is executive director of Community to Community, a grassroots immigrant advocacy organization based in Bellingham, Washington. Born in Texas to a migrant worker family, Guillen moved with her parents to northwest Washington state in 1960 when she was 10 years old. She says she became radicalized in the 1980s when the Rainbow Coalition asked her promote the presidential candidacy of Jesse Jackson in the state of Washington. Later she left her job at a bank to organize farm workers and eventually became an executive board member of the United Farm Workers union, spending four years as their chief lobbyist in Sacramento. In 2004 Guillen decided to return to her hometown of Bellingham to form “Communitiy to Community,” (www. foodjustice.org) focusing on organizing farmworker women for what she calls “systemic change.” Lately, that has included frequent clashes with the U.S. Border Patrol (Bellingham is only a short drive from the Canadian border) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. I caught up with Guillen recently at a California Council of Cooperative Development conference in Los Angeles. She shared her thoughts with him about grassroots organizing, why it is important that women take leadership roles, and why she believes worker owned cooperatives should not merely be businesses, but engines of radical social change. Mark Day: What compelled you to work for a new vision of farm worker and immigrant organizing? Rosalinda Guillen: I had been to the World Social Forum twice in Brazil. It was amazing to see what farm workers and farmers are doing there for a sustainable food system. I said to myself, we have to do this in the United States. So we formed Community to Community. MD: Can you summarize your mission statement? RG: We are an organization that is women-led, intentional, grassroots, and we work for a healthy society and community. We seek to create strategic alliances that strengthen local and global movements toward social and environmental justice. MD: How do you meet those goals? RG: We do our best to empower underrepresented people so they can have an equal voice in the decision making process. As immigrants we bring to this country valuable knowledge and a culture that needs to be absorbed and enhanced and not blocked. We need to do everything we can to restore justice to our food, land and cultural practices. MD: You seem to do a lot of social analysis in your work and to constantly question your role as organizers. RG: Yes. The key to placebased organizing is that you have to accept the community that you are in, environmentally and physically. You need to know what is going on, who are the natural leaders, the ones that the people go to. And as organizers we need to ask ourselves who we are. Are we willing to make sacrifices? Are we spiritually strong? What are our goals? MD: At the very beginning of Community to Community Rosalinda Guillen at Olvera Street in Los Angeles.

Dolores Huerta and Rosibel Mancillas-Lopez were honored at the San Diego’s 10 Cool Women of 2013 luncheon recently held by Girl Scouts San Diego. This is the 13th year the nonprofit has recognized women whose personal and professional achievements, leadership and service to the community make them consummate role models for girls. “Like Girl Scouts, our 2013 Cool Women make the world a better place,” said Jo Dee C. Jacob, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts San Diego. “We’re proud to honor these 10 exceptional women.” Huerta, who was once a Girl Scout herself, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with César Chávez. A longtime advocate for the rights of women and children as well as laborers, she led protests with strict adherence to non-violent philosophies and now travels the country speaking about issues of social justice and public policy. The civil rights icon received the Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012, was inducted into the U.S. Department of Labor Hall of Honor in 2012, and entered the California Hall of Fame in 2013. A recent graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law, Mancillas-Lopez works with clients who need assistance with immigration issues. She volunteers at a multitude of organizations, including Big Brothers and Sisters, Interfaith Shelter Network, Legal Aid Society, the Holy Family Church, San Diego Organizing Project, and the United Church of Christ Mayan Ministry. In addition to dedicating her time to helping those in need firsthand during law school, she spoke out for change as copresident of USD’s Immigration Justice and Law Society. Irma Castro, a member of the Cool Women Class of 2001, introduced Huerta during the ceremony; Mancillas-Lopez was introduced by Carmen Vazquez, Vice President for Student Affairs at University of San Diego. High Tech High sophomore Andrea Quintanar addressed luncheon guests about Girl Scouts’ impact on her life. She reaches out to the world community through Girl-Scoutsponsored forums and programs that promote education and positive change. A member of Senior Troop 5283 (led by her mother, Consuelo Murillo Quintanar), Andrea represented Girl Scouts San Diego at the 2012 Girls’ World Forum in Chicago, where girls from 92 countries gathered to discuss gender equality, environmental sustainability and poverty. Through the Girl Scout Destinations travel program, Andrea has surfed in Costa Rica, tried water sports in Canada and Alaska, and collaborated with Girl Guides in Mexico. The other Cool Women of 2013 are Voices for Children founder Kathryn Ashworth, businesswoman Joye Blount, philanthropist Pauline Foster, “First Lady of Wireless” Arlene Harris, Pacific Arts Movement founder Lee Ann Kim, San Diego Unified School District Superintendant Designate Cindy Marten, fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes, and attorney Ellen Whelan. At the luncheon, Girl Scouts San Diego also recognized 2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee champion Snigdha Nandipati as their first-ever “Cool Girl.” The previously recognized Cool Women who introduced this year’s honorees included Barbara Bry, Ronne Froman, Jeanne Jones, Linda Katz, Karen Keltner, Gail Levin, Susan Mallory and Rana Sampson. In addition to an etched crystal vase from Girl Scouts San Diego, honorees received an engraved Nambé picture frame, courtesy of Bloomingdale’s. Madeleine Pickens, a 2010 Cool Woman, and the Del Mar Country Club hosted the luncheon and awards program. Event proceeds of $27,000 will help keep Girl Scouting available and affordable for 31,000 local girls.

Over the course of about four months, project workers, neighborhood school children and their parents pieced together more than 19,000 tiles to form the mural. The artwork looks over the library’s children’s section and has been named the Jose Luis Rodriguez Family Discovery Center. “Jose was like a little brother to me,” said Branch Manager Jose Ocadiz. “He was such an upbeat fellow and brought great energy to the library.” Ocadiz says so often when you hear about a tragedy that takes someone, the memories eventually fade. “With something like this, we’ll never forget him,” said Ocadiz.

Parásitos indeseables y transmisores de enfermedades como las garrapatas pueden causarnos serios problemas. Estos parásitos que se alimentan de sangre, son portadores de distintas enfermedades infecciosas; por eso, es fundamental, que tomemos las medidas necesarias para mantenerlos lejos de nosotros.

Entre las enfermedades que podemos desarrollar si somos víctimas del acecho de una garrapata están la anaplasmosis, la babesiosis, la enfermedad de Lyme, la fiebre mucosa de las montañas rocosas, la enfermedad eruptiva de las garrapatas y la tularemia. Entre los síntomas que se presentan con estas enfermedades están los dolores articulares o musculares, rigidez del cuello, dolor de cabeza, fiebre e inflamación de los ganglios linfáticos. De percibir alguno de estos síntomas la recomendación de los Centros de Control de Enfermedades – CDC – es que acudamos al médico cuanto antes. Aunque muchas picaduras son inofensivas, tenemos que tener muy claro que pueden transmitir enfermedades tan graves como la enfermedad de Lyme, una infección que de no tratarse puede llegar a las articulaciones, el corazón y el sistema nervioso o la Fiebre Mucosa de las Montañas Rocosas que puede llegar a causar la muerte, de no ser tratada a tiempo. Así que si no queremos pasar por la molesta situación de tener que arrancarnos una garrapata de la piel, debemos saber donde pueden encontrarse y ser precavidos. Las garrapatas pueden estar presentes incluso en zonas urbanas donde haya vegetación y arbustos. Es recomendable que evitemos atravesar esas zonas. Una garrapata puede esperar meses, agazapada en un árbol o una rama, por el cálido hogar que le suministre la sangre que necesita para vivir feliz. Seguro que usted no quiere ofrecerse como voluntario así que cuando decida irse de excursión use además del repelente, botas, medias, ca-misas de manga larga y ropa en general que proteja su piel del contacto directo con estos insectos. Cuando regrese a casa, revise su ropa y asegúrese de que no traiga ningún huésped indeseable, en cualquier caso, es recomendable secarla a altas temperaturas por al menos una hora. Luisa Fernanda Montero Haga lo mismo con su cuerpo, báñese. Se ha demostrado que la ducha reduce sus posibilidades de adquirir la enfermedad de Lyme y puede ayudar a eliminar las garrapatas que no se hayan aferrado a su piel, revísese con atención, recuerde que pueden ser muy pequeñas. Sus lugares preferidos suelen ser los más calidos, así que es recomendable que busque bajos los brazos, dentro y alrededor de las orejas, en el ombligo, detrás de las rodillas, en la cabeza o cerca de ella, entre las piernas y alrededor de la cintura. Si encuentra una, retírela tan pronto como pueda, hágalo con unas pinzas y trate de jalarla tan cerca de la piel como le sea posible. Evite presionar el cuerpo de la garrapata hasta hacerla explotar, esto puede hacer que entren a su cuerpo sustancias infecciosas. Esté atento a los síntomas ya mencionados durante los días y semanas posteriores a la picadura. Las posibilidades de desarrollar las enfermedades transmitidas por estos insectos dependen de varios factores, pero no juegue con salud, vaya al médico y si tiene mascotas, siga las instrucciones del veterinario para protegerlos a ellos y a su familia. LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO JUNE 21, 2013 Why I Celebrate Juneteenth By Asani Shakur New America Media/ Richmond Pulse I recently asked a group of school kids in Richmond, California to tell me what they knew about Juneteenth and the Fourth of July. They all knew the basics of the Fourth of July – that it marks the nation’s independence day. Not one of them, however, could tell me a thing about Juneteenth (June 19), the holiday commemorating the announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. After explaining to the kids what Juneteenth symbolizes, the discussion moved on to less serious things like famous athletes and entertainers. I left the conversation wondering how and why it is that these kids don’t know about the epic history of African Americans that led to the achievements of many of the very same professional athletes and entertainers they’d just been speaking about. My thoughts led me back to the role that adults play in the lives of young people. I recalled during Fourth of July, being asked by family and friends why I didn’t partake in the holiday festivities. My reply back to them came in the form of a question: Did you celebrate June 19 last year? Most if not all of them had the same answer: “What happened on that date for me to celebrate?” Others said, “It slipped their mind,” or, “I just forgot about it.” After hearing their responses, I shared my own logic as to why I don’t celebrate the Fourth of July. It’s because I’m all too aware that up until 1865, while America was celebrating her independence and political liberation, my ancestors were still being held in bondage. While the cannon balls were bursting in air and others who were free rejoiced in their emancipation, my ancestors were left to witness it all as slaves. It was an annual slap in the face that was repeated for 88 years. Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of legalized slavery for African-Americans in the United States. President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation Act on September 22, 1862 and it became effective on January 1, 1863. News of this historic piece of legislation, however, did not reach the masses of African-Americans in the United States until nearly two and half years later. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger and his troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, delivering the news that all slaves by law are now free. Imagine if you will for a moment, seeing your mother labor in a field for countless hours in rain or shine, sickness or health. Picture your father slaving in the tobacco fields for 16 hours straight only to be beaten at the end of the day for not gathering enough crop — sort of like a modern-day pimp beating his so-called property because she didn’t meet her quota. Imagine the slave master then going into your home to rape your mother, her voice pleading for the nightmare to end. Imagine your father returns back to that very same shack with a blistering back, too bruised and sensitive to touch. He makes eye contact with his wife, your mother, only to have his ego more bruised with the look of seeing the hurt and pain in his wife’s eyes. There, the three of you are, a family, suffering and surviving through all of that. Then the day comes, while in the middle of your normal family routine, an announcement is made that all blacks of servitude are free to go, that slavery is now illegal in the United States. Some now-free slaves rejoice, while other former slaves sit in somber shock and disbelief. I can understand why for the majority of Americans, Juneteenth goes unmentioned or barely recognized; even why eight states continue to refuse to recognize it as an official state holiday. But why does Juneteenth not receive the same level of support, the same public acknowledgement, as other ethnic and culture-specific holidays or observances? St. Patrick’s Day, for example, is a national holiday backed by a whole marketing apparatus that yields clothing and other garments sold in stores to get people in the “spirit.” Cinco De Mayo is widely acknowledged and celebrated across the U.S., by Mexicans and non-Mexicans alike. In cities across the nation, Italians hold celebrations and march down the streets to honor Columbus Day. Yet the same level of observance is not the case with Juneteenth. This is not a cry for the government to bring national recognition to June 19. My intention is to bring awareness to the African-American community and those who would like to embrace and pay homage to this day. Juneteenth is more about acknowledgement than celebration. Let Juneteenth be more than just a celebration — an opportunity to focus on education and self-improvement as a community. Let the elders be called upon to reflect on the past. Let it be a day that we give thanks to our ancestors.

PAGE 6 JUNE 21, 2013 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO Summertime… W e would like to borrow from the Porgy and Bess opera with ‘Summertime, And the livin’ is easy Fish are jumpin’ And the cotton is high”, and that pretty much sums up our optimism for the next few months. It is summertime and we look forward to kicking back and relaxing. Don’t get us wrong, there are plenty of issues to worry about, the immigration issue, education, health care, budget issues, several scandals, and of course politics in general. Yet at this time of the year, it just feels good to think about summer vacation, the beach, barbecues, and just plain relaxing instead of all those heavy issues that dog us throughout the year. This year more than the few recent past years, for the community in gen- eral, there is a lot less stress worrying about the job, the economy, or a home foreclosure. For some folks the news is downright good with a steady job and maybe a bump up in pay. For many we have been celebrating the graduation and promotions of our children and young adults. For the young adults leaving college the future does not look as bleak, the job market is difficult no doubt about that, but there is hope and opportunity. For working adults and families there might even be enough money in the budget this year for a real vacation… those ‘stay vacations’ are okay but there is nothing like a week in Cancun. So yes things are on the up tick, slow but steady, and we look forward to a summer break with a little rest and relaxation… see you at the beach! Doubling Student Interest Rates Would Be Devastating For Latinos By Jose Aristimuno A couple of weeks ago, I had a chance to attend an event at the White House where President Obama urged Congress to prevent an increase in student interest rates. While there, I had the opportunity to meet with student leaders from across the country who understand the gravity of this issue: If interest rates double, it could prove to be devastating for millions of students and their families. Interest rates on new subsidized Stafford loans are set to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1. If this sounds like déjà vu, that’s because Congress faced this very same issue last year. According to a study by the College Board, 67 percent of Latinos rely on financial aid to pay for college. In addition, the average Latino student takes on an average of $22,886 in student debt. So with the economy still recovering, and so many of our brothers and sisters still hurting, there is no excuse for Congress to avoid making this a priority in their list. Nationwide student debt presently exceeds $1 trillion, a number that will continue to rise if nothing gets done. With the current economy beginning to show signs of recovery and picking up momentum, now is not the time to increase student loan rates on millions of students. Doing so will not only damage our economy, but it will greatly impact the lives of millions of Latinos across the country. In the past three decades, the act of attaining a college education has increased by more than 1,000 percent. On average, student loan debt surpasses $25,000, and 1 in 10 borrowers owe more than $54,000 in student loans. With college costs skyrocketing, and Latino students taking on an immense amount of debt each year, many Latinos are starting to believe that going to college may not be the best investment. And with more Latinos enrolling in college each year, doubling student rates at a time when students need help the most would be devastating and could cause dropout rates to increase. Just recently, House Republicans passed a bill proposing that interest rates be determined by the interest rate of a 10-year Treasury note, plus an additional 2.5 percent. In other words, the interest rates would fluctuate based on how much it cost the government to borrow that year. Although the Republicans’ approach would cap student loans at 8.5 percent, there is no guarantee that these loans will remain at their current rate. As a Latino with student debt, I agree with the President that such rates should be fixed for the duration of the loan. The “Pay as You Earn” repayment plan, which considers a borrower’s income and then caps loan payments at 10 percent of that individual’s discretionary income, is the right approach that will ultimately help Latinos keep up with their payments. Last year, millions of students took their voices to social media and used the twitter hashtag #dontdoublemyrate. This proved to be successful, as it indubitably played a part in forcing Congress to compromise and extend the subsidized rate for one year. This time around, the president urged students to use social media once again to pressure Congress to find a bipartisan solution. Although a more permanent solution would be ideal, students should not fall victims of the current partisan politics that are taking place in Washington. Now more than ever, Latinos should be worrying about their next test, having a good GPA, and not worrying that their student loan rate will double due to Washington’s inability to come together and keep student’s best interest at bay. At the end of the day, this isn’t about what is going on with the Republicans and the Democrats any given year on the floor and hallways of Congress; it’s about the future, livelihood, stability, and growth of our human capital and our country’s economy. Jose Aristimuno is the founder of Latino Giant, a digital platform focused on empowering U.S. Latinos to reach their greatest potential. Florida beach front. Doesn’t it strike you as odd that the two leading voices on immigration are Cubanos and Republican??? We have all heard about and from Senator Marco Rubio who is the lead proponent of immigration reform, but not necessarily a path to citizenship. The lesser known Hispanic is Senator Ted Cruz from Texas who is the lead opponent to immigration reform…. And here we thought that immigration was more of a Mexican issue. Where are the Mexican-American political leaders???? Cruz uses his father’s road to citizenship as his standard-bearer for denying a path to citizenship. Just one problem… there is a huge difference between emigrating from Cuba where Cubans are welcomed to America and emigrating from Mexico where a triple fence separates the two countries. No fence on the And Rubio keeps backing away from his original plan and is now pushing for more border security before a path opens up to legalization… Rubio also has a story about his dad coming from Cuba…. We wonder where they would be if their dads had come from Mexico???? Sacramento politicians get taken care of first!!! Sacramento gets a balanced budget and the first recommendation out is that they all should get a raise…these guys are already the highest paid in the nation… the commission says it is not a raise but a restoration of their pay cut over the years…. In the meantime with the City of Chula Vista passing their budget Mayor Cox is saying now is not the time for pay raises…. And in San Ysidro school board member Antonio Martinez is refusing his pay because the district is in such debt… admirable, but stupid! His pay, whatever that is, doesn’t mean much in the big picture…. Take the pay and take the staff out for a beer…. Money well spent then. Como producen riqueza los trabajadores inmigrantes (Pero no quieren que lo sepan) Por Eduardo Stanley Durante años, quienes se oponen a la inmigración aseguran que los recién llegados no representan algo positivo para la sociedad porque abusan de los recursos públicos recibiendo más beneficios que los impuestos que pagan. Uno de los ejemplos que citan es la salud pública: la mayoría de las salas de emergencias de los hospitales está llenas de personas sin residencia legal. Otro ejemplo que ofrecen es la educación: los inmigrantes sin papeles saturan los salones de clases, forzando a los gobiernos a construir mas escuelas. Y cosas por el estilo. Sin embargo, estos argumentos no son la clave real para analizar la participación social de los inmigrantes —o de otros grupos. Para empezar, toda persona que recibe un salario paga impuestos. Y sin consideración de la situación de residencia de cada persona, también pagan impuestos todos cuando compran comida o cuando son parte de alguna transacción comercial —como al mandar dinero a sus paises de origen. Clarifiquemos que desde hace muchos años la ley prohibe a una persona sin residencia legal en el pais recibir beneficios tales como desempleo, aunque los trabajadores sin residencia legal pagan por este servicio. Los inmigrantes aportan millones de dólares anualmente pero no pueden recibir beneficios por los que pagan, por ejemplo Seguro Social (o jubilación) y desempleo. En relación a la salud pública, los hospitals no informan sobre el estatus migratorio de sus pacientes, por lo tanto, ¿cómo es posible culpar a los inmigrantes sin residencia legal por la saturación de las salas de emergencia? Si en los últimos años hemos visto precisamente esta saturación en el país, ¿no sera porque más estadounidenses carecen de seguro de salud y no pueden pagar por servicios medicos regulares? Y respecto a otro de los argumentos constantemente repetidos, el de las escuelas saturadas y la necesidad de construir otras para dar cabida a nuevos estudiantes, digamos que esta es una visión distorcionada de los cambios sociales. Es que a medida que la población crece, la sociedad debe cambiar también, incluyendo su infraestructura, como las escuelas. Esto es parte de la expansion económica de una sociedad. En otras palabras, construir nuevas escuelas y contratar más maestros no es un gasto sino una inversion social producto del crecimiento de la población. Estas distorciones no son un accidente o un simple error. Pretenden ocultar el conocimiento del funcionamiento de la economía para evitar que la gente esté informada para que no se cuestione al sistema que sustenta esta clase de economía. Este es el trabajo y el objetivo de organizaciones como la Fundación Heritage (http://www.heritage.org), una institución ultra conservadora que alimenta con argumentos y temas de discusión a otros grupos interesados en apoyar la agenda conservadora. Y uno de esos temas es, precisamente, el costo de los inmigrantes usando la ecuación de los impuestos. El principal aspecto de la economía es la productividad del trabajo, no los impuestos que pagan los trabajadores. Y por cierto, ¿de dónde creen ustedes que sale el dinero de los impuestos? De la misma fuente: del trabajo. O, en otras palabras, sale de la productividad de millones de trabajadores que fabrican los bienes o mercancias que la gente y los paises comercializan. Este proceso es mas complejo de lo que parece y trataremos de explicarlo brevemente. De acuerdo a los escritos de los economistas clásicos (Smith, Ricardo, Marx y otros), una mercancía contiene un valor correspondiente al tiempo de trabajo necesario para su producción. Por ejemplo, si consideramos una silla, su valor depende de las horas que llevó fabricarla —incluyendo sus accesorios, como clavos, pintura, etc. El trabajador que fabrica esta silla recibe un salario por su jornada laboral. Pero fabricar la silla lleva menos de ocho horas. El tiempo adicional que el trabajador (o trabajadora) dedica a seguir produciendo, genera bienes que beneficia al empleador. Esta productividad adicional genera entonces una plusvalía, lo cual produce y aumenta el capital del empleador. O sea que el salario no refleja la productividad de los trabajadores. El salario pagado a un trabajador sirve para que este pueda recuperar su energía (alimentarse y descansar) para poder seguir produciendo al día siguiente. La plusvalia es la parte “adicional” del trabajo de un empleado. La palabra “riqueza” significa en realidad capital. Y el capital es creado por los trabajadores, particularmente por la parte no pagada de su trabajo. El capital que los trabajadores crean es mucho mas grande que los impuestos que pagan debido a sus bajos salarios. El capital no es estático, siempre busca crecer —puede decirse mejor: los empleadores buscan hacer crecer el capital de manera permanente. Por esta simple razón, sería ingenuo creer que nuestra sociedad aceptaría la existencia de millones de personas improductivas —sin considerar incluso que los números proveidos por instituciones conservadoras sobre la relación pago de impuestos-beneficios recibidos por parte de los inmigrantes son muy dudosos. El capital es controlado por una pequeña fracción de la población que se apropia de la plusvalia. Este grupo de personas también controla los medios de producción (por ejemplo, las propiedades de las fábricas y las herramientas de trabajo). En cambio, los trabajadores no tienen más que sus habilidades de trabajo. La acumulación de capital en pocas manos no seria posible sin un elemento fundamental: la propiedad privada. Es por esto que los inmigrantes europeos en Estados Unidos iniciaron la conquista del oeste por medio de una Guerra contra los nativoamericanos. El objetivo no era necesariamente eliminarlos físicamente como apoderarse de sus tierras que, además, eran de caracter communal o colectiva, algo que molestaba a los conquistadores. En resumen, los primeros pobladores no conocian la propiedad privada y no existía el capital, al menos como lo conocemos actualmente. En el caso de la agricultura, los salarios tan bajos (jamás conocí un jornalero que gane más de $16,000 dólares al año... En un buen año!) significa que el valor de la plusvalía generada por los campesinos es inmensa. Esta afirmación tiene más sentido cuando consideramos que un solo condado de Estados Unidos, el condado de Fresno, en California, generó ganancias por $6.8 billones de dólares en productos agrícolas en 2011, según el reporte de la Comisionada de Agricultura de Fresno, divulgado en septiembre del 2012 (http:/ /www.co.fresno.ca.us/Departments. aspx?id=114). Recordemos a los lectores que para evitar que los jornaleros se organicen y exijan un mejor reparto de la riqueza que generan, su condición de “ilegales” es muy práctica y conveniente. La amenaza está ahí, día y noche: si se portan mal, los deportamos! Y estos son trabajadores considerados no calificados por los senadores que presentaron la propuesta de reforma migratoria el 16 de abril (S-744, “Acta de Seguridad Fronteriza, Oportunidad Económica y Modernización Migratoria). Los trabajadores inmigrantes aportan con su productividad a la economía de esta sociedad. Esta productividad no puede ser medida por la cantidad de impuestos que pagan. La propuesta de reforma migratoria ayudará a la industria agrícola a disponer de cuantiosa mano de obra barata disponible en el futuro. Aún así, los agricultures y corporaciones agrícolas pelean para no conceder nada de la riqueza producida esos trabajadores, tales como viviendas decentes, salario mínimo más alto y seguro de salud. Esto es parte elemental de los derechos laborales, por los cuales los trabajadores han luchado durante años, y además se paga con dinero (o capital) que ellos crean.

Ambientes libres de humo en las organizaciones en la fe de San Diego: El cultivo de un futuro más saludable para nuestras comunidades El estilo de vida del sur de California tiene mucho que ofrecer. Los residentes del condado de San Diego disfrutan vivir en ciudades que tienen buen clima a traves del año, playas hermosas, parques, rutas de senderismo, restaurantes de buena calidad e instituciones educativas de calidad que producen en la investigación innovadora en la ciencia y la medicina. Mientras San Dieguinos tienen muchas cosas que agradecer. La exposición no deseada a humo de segunda mano no es uno de ellos, especialmente en los lugares de adoración. El proyecto “SmokeFree For All San Diegans” (SFASD) en Caridades Católicas Diócesis de San Diego cree que los lugares de adoración son importantes para crear resultados positivos en la comunidad, especialmente en materia de salud públicos. Es por esto que este proyecto apoya a los líderes de la fe en San Diego a designar voluntariamente espacios y eventos libre del humo de segunda mano. El humo de segunda mano es una combinación del humo exhalado por la persona fumando un producto que contiene tabaco como un cigarro, y del humo que sale de la punta del cigarro. El humo de segunda mano contiene amoníaco, formaldehído, butano, plomo, arsénico, benceno y otras cosas toxicas y químicos que pueden causar cáncer. San Dieguinos siguen siendo vulnerables a la exposición al humo de segunda mano en el hogar, en el trabajo, en el centro comercial y en otros ambientes interiores y exteriores. Familias que viven en propiedades de unidad individual o unidades múltiples pueden estar expuestas a humo del cigarro por parte de los vecinos. Los clientes de restaurantes están expuestos involuntariamente al humo de cigarrillo de los clientes y los patios al aire libre y los transeúntes deben respirar el humo toxico de un desconocido que se acerca a un lado largo en la vía pública mientras se fuma un cigarrillo. Las organizaciones de la fe son partes importantes de la comunidad. Pueden proveer una riqueza de programas sociales, de salud, recuperación y de educación para individuos de la congregación y para los de afuera. No podemos ignorar que alrededor de cuatro millones de Californianos fuman y que el tabaco sigue siendo la primera causa de enfermedades prevenibles, de discapacidad y muertes en los Estados Unidos hoy. Hemos hecho avances para proteger millones de los peligros del humo de segunda mano. El estado de California fue el primer estado en pasar en 1995 una ley que prohibe el fumar dentro de ciertos negocios. Este mismo estado tambien prohibió el fumar en bares en 1998 y en el 2008 prohibió el fumar en un vehículo con alguien menor de la edad de 18. Mientras que estos acontecimientos son buenos, y sirven como un buen modelo para el resto de la nación, la importancia de limitar el humo de segunda mano no para allí. El impulso para mejorar continúa. Una encuesta de más de 300 residentes de la comunidad fue conducido por Smoke-Free for All San Diegans en el 2011 nos enseña que los San Dieguinos están fuertemente a favor de tener espacios libres del uso del humo de segunda mano. Alrededor del 85% de los que participaron en la encuesta que se llevó a cabo en cinco eventos de la comunidad indicaron estar en favor de tomar medidas que prohibieran el fumar en los espacios y eventos de una organización de fe. 86% de los que tomaron la encuesta contestaron que el fumar debería estar completamente prohibido en lugares de adoración. Por tres años SmokeFree for All San Diegans ha apoyado a líderes de veintiún organizaciones para adoptar medidas voluntarias para ser libre del humo de segunda mano en sus espacios y eventos. Esta reducción ha impactado alrededor de nueve mil cuatrocientos miembros. Smoke-Free For All San Diegans apoya a las congregaciones para plantarse en contra del fumar, y otras formas de usar el tabaco porque las comunidades se merecen algo mejor que el riesgo del cáncer del pulmón, enfermedad del corazón y otros efectos del respirar humo del cigarro de otra persona.

A Gang of 12 (con’t from page 2) recovered in the same area of the Juarez Valley as the other victims, reportedly appeared on a controversial Los Angeles television program, “Jose Luis Sin Censura,” in the spring of 2011- more than two years after she disappeared on January 6, 2009. The teen was not known to have a U.S. visa, and if the account of her television program visit is true, then it’s not clear how “Bere,” as she was called by loved ones, first got to Los Angeles before winding up in a mass burial site for female murder victims outside Ciudad Juarez. The young mother, who left behind a baby boy, was also reported seen in El Paso and New Mexico after her disappearance. “Jose Luis Sin Censura” was cancelled last year by Lieberman Broadcasting after protests and ad boycotts over the vulgar language, misogynous outbursts and anti-gay content of the show. On one episode, for instance, a woman was heckled by audience members as a “whore.” Entitled “Hot Stories from the Hotel,” the segment in which “Bere” Castillo was supposedly filmed dealt with the theme of sexual cheating. Alerted to Castillo’s appearance on the program, mother Bertha Alicia Garcia questions the recent state identification of the teen’s remains through DNA testing and, along with other mothers of recently identified victims, is demanding verification of the results by the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, which previously identified the remains of scores of missing young women from Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua City when the world-renowned specialists were under contract with the Chihuahua state government. In a phone interview with FNS, team co- Rescuing My Deported Aunt (con’t from page 2) ties — ended up in a ñongo in Tijuana. The makeshift bunkers were built by the community living along the Tijuana canal of the border between Mexico and the United States. The canal is a long bed of cement about a football field wide. The ñongos stretch about half a football field long. The way they are all cobbled together in dirt mounds along the edge of the cement canal was a testament to the human spirit of survival, like a hobo version of Atlantis. All of Martha’s belongings — including her cell phone containing her family’s numbers and her legal papers — were destroyed in the ñongos. So she was a person with no money, no home, no identification or documents, and no contact with any family members in a strange city on the other side of the border. Eventually, she joined the community of ñongeros who were facing similar problems. This homeless immigrant refugee community attracted the attention of Televisa in Mexico City due to the rising problem of deportees in the city of Tijuana. When we found her, Martha was, as her son put it, one step above her grave. She was about a meter deep underground, hiding in the only bunker that was left after they were burned down by the Tijuana Municipal Police. The reporters followed my 21-year-old cousin PAGE 7 founder Mercedes Doretti said she and her coworkers had not seen any of the cases in question from the Juarez Valley before wrapping up their work in 2009. “We haven’t examined any of the new ones,” Doretti said. The veteran forensic anthropologist said identification methods have improved in Chihuahua and other facilities are available to do the difficult job of processing and identifying human remains, but trust and communication between the families of possible victims and government officials is essential. “The most important thing is to provide clear answers to the families in a transparent way and that involves both a technical side and how answers are provided to the family. We are sorry this hasn’t been solved, because the families have been waiting for a long time,” she said. Doretti declined to comment on whether the Argentine team would resume working in Ciudad Juarez. Capping off a hectic week, Mexican authorities announced the closure of El Caporal, Camilo del Real’s agency and three other businesses connected to the defendants, while Chihuahua state police officers conducted searches for missing women at more Juarez lodgings, including the Hotel Paso del Norte, Motel Studio, Hotel Manport, and the Fortuna boarding house. “Consequently, no disappeared women were found but evidence was secured for continuing the probes,” the state prosecutor’s office said. In the days ahead expect much more attention, and perhaps political fallout, from the legal proceedings against the 12 men and women accused of systematically disappearing and murdering young women and girls in the heart of Ciudad Juarez.

Her eyes gleamed, standing out from her sun-crisped skin. She stood at about 5’1”. I could have sworn she was a lot taller, but I was just a kid when I last saw her. Her cheekbones showed profusely as if she were just a skeleton of my tía. She had nubs for fingers, without nails. But I was happy to see her alive and I was focused on baby steps to get her out of her predicament. We got my aunt out of the hole and took her to eat. My tía was so happy that day, just as I always remembered her. We ate tacos and chitchatted about life there. She told me that a couple of days ago she had seen her friend murdered in cold blood right before her eyes. She told me she missed us all and wanted to go back to the States. I did not know what to tell her. I knew she would not be able to go back. I consoled myself knowing at least she would not have to go back to the ñongos. She is now living with family in Mexico, recuperating. Her children are making plans to go visit her. Later, when I was back home in Tracy, I watched the news with the footage of my father, my tía and my cousins. I thought, ‘What a beautiful thing we did, to go over there and reunite with our family member.’ But I also thought, ‘What about all those people who still need to be rescued?’ Ñongeros have families. It just so happened that my tía had a family that saw her on TV. Representantes, y se les olvida que los Demócratas presentaron las mismas propuestas en el Senado y no piden acción en su contra.
