38 YEARS of Publication 1976 2014 1976- 2010 Vol. XXXVIII No. 35 Small businesses create social mobility, according to Latina SBA administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet, SBA director By Pablo J. Sáinz Maria Contreras-Sweet is a prime example that anyone can earn the American Dream with effort and dedication. Since April, she has been the Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration and a member of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet. No small feat for a woman who immigrated to the United States from Guadalajara, Mexico, at the age of five, along with her single mother and five siblings. She rose through the corporate world ranks, founding the first Latino-owned bank in California in more than 35 years. “That’s why I love this country,” Contreras-Sweet said. “I came here as an immigrant, and now I’m on the President’s Cabinet. He saw my talents. This not only speaks about how President Obama values diversity, but it says a lot about our country. I come from no economic advantage or corporate background. It really shows how great our country is.” Contreras-Sweet will be in San Diego on Friday, Sept. 5th, at the AARP convention Ideas@50+, where she will be speaking about how people 50 years and over can take advantage of all the resources available to them through the SBA to start their own small business. “Those who are retiring can only play so much golf,” she said. “People over 50 have a lot of energy, they want to start businesses, they want to remain active. Sixty is the 40, right?” During her visit to San Diego, the Administrator will also meet with San Diego representatives from different organizations that are part of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda. “I’m committed to create social mobility through small businesses,” she said. “I’m committed to serving Latinos, African-Americans, AsianAmericans, Native Americans, seniors, women, we need everyone on the table.” Contreras-Sweet said that her visit to America’s Finest City is part of a West Coast trip where she is promoting the different programs, loans, and resources, the SBA has for small business owners. “I’m always looking forward to visiting San Diego,” she said. “San Diego is a very important destination for the SBA. It is a smart, bold, and accessible city. It has always been a for La Prensa Muñoz, Inc. Publications AUGUST 29, 2014 People age 50 and over represent diverse group By Pablo J. Sáinz When Marie Rose Escobedo retired from her job in human resources a few years ago, she knew she wasn’t going to be the typical retiree that stays home doing nothing all day. “I’ve been involved in my city’s affairs for a long time, so I always wanted to be a volunteer in one way or another, helping others,” said Escobedo, who is 77. Escobedo, who lives in Chula Vista, said that she found a world of opportunities as a volunteer and a leader thanks to AARP, an organization focused on people age 50 and over. She has been a leader of a program called CarFit, which helps people over 50 make sure their vehicles are in the right conditions for them to drive it. Escobedo coordinates a group that meets and conducts vehicle checkups in Chula Vista. “I have two years as a leader in this group and it has had a great success,” she said. “It is a very important project that helps older drivers with their cars.” Those opportunities that Escobedo has at age 77 that help her stay active and enthusiastic about helping others is one of the goals of AARP membership. AARP is one of the largest organizations in the U.S. for people age 50 and over. Escobedo will bring all the positive energy of people age 50 and over to San Diego when she serves as volunteer at the AARP fall convention, Ideas@50+, which is taking place at the San Diego Convention Center from Thursday, September 4th, to Saturday, September 6th. Attendees will be able to learn and know more from experts in a variety of topics of interest to people age 50 and over, from finances and enter(See Diverse, page 2) Ideas@50+ is an event for individuals over 50 that want to develop their knowledge in finance, networking, entertainment etc. Las personas mayores de 50 años representan a un grupo diverso Por Pablo J. Sáinz Cuando Marie Rose Escobedo se jubiló de su empleo en recursos humanos hace ya algunos años, ella sabía que no iba a ser la típica jubilada que se queda en casa sin hacer nada. “Todo el tiempo he estado muy involucrada en los asuntos de mi ciudad, así que siempre quise ser voluntaria de alguna manera para ayudar a otros”, dijo Escobedo, quien tiene 77 años de edad. Escobedo, quien vive en Chula Vista, dijo que encontró un mundo de oportunidades como voluntaria y como líder gracias a AARP, una organización enfocada en personas mayores de 50 años. Ella ha sido líder de un programa llamado CarFit que ayuda a personas mayores de 50 años a asegurarse que su vehículo está en condiciones adecuadas para manejarse de acuerdo a las necesidades de esas personas. Escobedo coordina el grupo que se reúne y realiza revisiones de vehículos en Chula Vista. “Ya tengo dos años como líder de este grupo y ha tenido un éxito grande”, dijo. “Es un proyecto muy importante para ayudar a conductores de la tercera edad con sus autos”. Esas oportunidades que Escobedo tiene a la edad de 77 años que ayudan a mantenerla activa y entusiasmada por ayudar a otros es una de las metas de la membresía de AARP, una de las organizaciones para personas mayores de 50 años más grandes en Estados Unidos. Escobeado traerá toda ese energía positiva de las personas mayores de 50 años a San Diego cuando sirva como voluntaria en la conferencia de otoño de AARP, Ideas@50+, que será en el San Diego Convention Center del jueves 4 al sábado 6 de septiembre.

The man who found Cesar Chavez By Gabriel Thompson LA VOZ DE AUSTIN On June 9, 1952, Fred Ross knocked on the door of a modest house on San Jose’s eastside. The house belonged to Cesar Chavez, then an anonymous 25-year-old struggling to support his family through part-time work at a lumberyard. Ross launched into his pitch, talking about how Mexican Americans could become a political force, but Chavez was initially skeptical. Who was this guy, walking the dusty barrio and sharing fantastic tales of what could happen if folks got organized? As Chavez admitted, “The first time I met Fred Ross, he was about the last person I wanted to see.” But as Ross highlighted past accomplishments, Chavez’ skepticism began to fade. “He started talking — and changed my life,” Chavez later remarked. “Fred did such a good job of explaining how poor people could build power that I could even taste it. I thought, gee, it’s like digging a hole. There’s nothing complicated about it.” The episode was vintage Ross. As an organizer, he spent his life knocking on doors and breaking down barriers, encouraging and training people to stand up and fight back. A few years after taking Chavez under his organizing wing, Ross came across (see SBA, page 7) Dolores Huerta, then a single mother who planned on a career in teaching. After meeting Ross, Huerta launched into a lifetime of activism, and later helped Chavez do what everyone said was impossible: organize farm workers. Ross soon became Chavez’s organizing mentor, and for the next decade they crisscrossed the state of California, forming chapters of the Community Service Organization (CSO), the most powerful Mexican American organization of its day (at the height of the McCarthy era, no less). Although Ross was one of the most influential grassroots organizers of the twentieth century — mentoring individuals like Chavez and Dolores Huerta, running the Dustbowl migrant camp fictionalized by John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath, securing the release of Japanese- American internees during World War II, organizing black and Latino parents to help end school segregation in California, going on to spearhead a campaign that elected the first Latino to Los Angeles’s city council since the 1800s, and strategizing with Saul Alinsky — he remained largely in the background, unknown to the general public. As Ross was fond of stating, “An organizer is a leader who does not lead but gets behind the people and pushes.” He spent his life pushing people to lead — in migrant camps, in living rooms, on picket lines — and Fred Ross Sr. and Cesar Chavez on Grove Street in 1979 leading United Domestic Workers Organizing Training was so effective that he pushed him- to fight against the fascist regime of self right out of most history books.

Embroidered in beautiful blue, green and red letters, the words spelled out very ugly messages: for display at the monument document the fates of Mexicans, some named and some anonymous, who fell victim to violence during the last few years. They were cops, gangbangers, hamburger sellers, students fathers, sons, daughters and mothers. Many of the cases are from 2010- an especially violent year among many- and most happened in Ciudad Juarez or elsewhere in the state of Chihuahua.

The four areas are Health & Wellness, Money & Work, Technology & Innovation, and Travel & Lifestyle. “This is a more innovative, more defined event,” Ibarra said. “With these areas we cover topics that are of interest to people age 50 and over.

Some of us still work, some of us have retired.” Even more, Perez said that one third of all AARP members still has a job. Some 10,000 to 12,000 are expected to attend. There will be a lot to do during those three days in San Diego. With workshops and panels on one side, and dances and concerts on another, such as Los Lobos on September 6th, Ideas@50+ is an event where everything is of benefit for people age 50 and over. (Registration is $25 for AARP members, and $35 for nonmembers. The $35 fee includes an annual membership.) “Life keeps going after 50,” Perez said. “It’s important to keep on learning and improving our quality of life.” For the complete program and to register for Ideas@50+, visit www.aarp.org.

America converged on the border city for Feminem 2014, an event dedicated to opposing war and gender violence/ oppression through urban art and other creative forms of expression. As part of the encounter, women painted a block-long mural on Vicente Guerrero Avenue directly across from the Benito Juarez Monument. A striking image of an indigenous woman holding a flower rises from the center of the artwork on a busy street. “From Brazil with Love,” reads one message signed in Portuguese. Other writings painted on the new mural protest the murder and disappearance of women: The “Not One More” phrase that has become the slogan of the international antifemicide movement is joined “We Want Them Alive” and the poetic “I miss your breath that turns into a desert.” In Ciudad Juarez, the artwork and accompanying words are not abstract representations. The mural stands one block down the street from the Allende High School, a private school where several female victims of disappearance and murder once attended. While Feminem 2014 was in progress, the artist/activists transported their pain and paint to other sections of the city as well. Very close to the downtown Cathedral on September 16 Avenue, which is nearing recompletion as a pedestrian walkway, the same messages as the ones on the Vicente Guerrero Avenue mural also appear on concrete barriers, one of which is right around the corner from the Hotel Plaza where Dutch tourist Hester van Nierop was murdered in 1998. Downtown is the zone where dozens of young women have vanished over the years, many later turning up murdered at mass burial sites; new and old missing posters that plaster the streets testify to an ongoing issue that’s left a searing wound in Juarense society. One of the most recent posters, or pesquias as they are called in Spanish, is for 23year-old Iliana Carrillo, a U.S. citizen residing in Ciudad Juarez who was reported missing after she left her home in the Bellavista neighborhood for work early on the afternoon of July 31 of this year. Alicia Andares, who was a participant in Feminem 2014, penned an essay on the event for the Spanish-language website elbarrioantiguo.com. Andares placed the Ciudad Juarez gathering in a global context: “The social fabric has been eroded, destroyed and broken by a technology of war that is more powerful and sophisticated all the time. And the erosion, destruction, rupture and war that is provoked in modern society now is not able to El evento estará organizado be narrated, and it is difficult en cuatro grandes áreas, de to admit, to feel, to understand. acuerdo a Anaí Ibarra, directora asociada de comunicación multicultural de AARP en California. Estas son Salud y bienestar, Finanzas y trabajo, Tecnología e innovación y Viajes y estilo de vida. “Se trata de un evento más innovador, más definido”, indicó Ibarra. “Con estas áreas se abordan más temas que interesan a las personas mayores de 50 años. Son temas de interés público”. Pérez advirtió que las personas mayores de 50 años no son un grupo homogéneo, sino que son personas con diversos intereses, diversos estilos de vida, diversas necesidades, diversas etapas en sus vidas. “La diversidad que existe entre nosotros es enorme”, dijo. “La diversidad de ideas continua en esta edad. Algunos todavía trabajan, otros ya están jubilados”. Es más, Pérez indicó que un tercio de los miembros de AARP todavía tienen un empleo. Al evento se espera que asistan de 10 mil a 12 mil personas. Y habrá mucho por hacer durante esos tres días en San Diego. Con talleres y mesas redondas por un lado y bailes y conciertos por el otro, como el de Los Lobos el 6 de septiembre, Ideas@50+ es un evento donde todo tiene un beneficio para las personas mayores de 50 años. (El costo de entrada es de $25 para miembros de AARP y $35 para no-miembros. Los $35 incluyen membresía por un año.) “La vida continua después de los 50 años”, dijo Pérez. “Es importante seguir aprendiendo y mejorando nuestra calidad de vida”.

Bordeamos Por la Paz In the entire country-and the whole world-we are becoming closer witnesses to the degree of stupidity, cruelty and impunity that the rapacious powers are capable of coming to…” For Andares, art is a collective and non-commercial response to an unjust death and the silencing of peoples.

PAGE 4 AUGUST 29, 2014 The man who found Cesar Chavez (con’t from page 1) manager had been tossed out after residents accused him of numerous acts of violence, and Ross’ first duty was to restore their confidence. “What started out as a way to win them [over],” Ross said, “almost immediately became a driving interest to be around them, learn about them, pick up their stories. If you are really interested, listening comes naturally.” Arvin served both as a key training ground and political education for the future organizer. Ross learned how to gain people’s confidence, organized an elected council responsible for making many of the dayto-day decisions within the community, and supported a strike of cotton workers. It was at Arvin that Ross also came to know Woody Guthrie, who visited frequently and sung for the striking workers. When the U.S. entered World War II, Ross shifted positions to the War Relocation Authority, and spent most of the war years in Cleveland, seeking jobs and housing for Japanese-Americans, which allowed them to be released from internment camps. After the war he returned to Southern California to help establish multi-racial “unity leagues” as an organizer with the American Council on Race Relations. Organizing AfricanAmerican and Latino parents in the citrus belt, Ross led voter registration efforts—which tossed out a racist politician in Riverside, and helped integrate schools. His work fed into the first successful federal school desegregation case in the country, Mendez vs. Westminster — which occurred seven years before Brown vs. Board. It was during this period that Ross discovered what would be his life’s major work: organizing Mexican Americans in California. Hearing of Ross’ exploits, Saul Alinsky hired him in 1947, marking the beginning of a long partnership. With funds secured by Alinsky, Ross spent the next decade serving as a key catalyst to the birth of Latino political power in California. He formed the Community Service Organization (CSO) with Edward Roybal, directing a groundbreaking voter registration drive in East Los Angeles that resulted in the election of Roybal to city council in 1949 — the first Latino council member since the 1800s. Using this success as a springboard, Ross spent the 1950s visiting barrios across the state, helping to form 22 chapters of the CSO. The CSO helped crack down on public brutality; registered half a million Latinos to vote; passed statewide legislation to grant pensions to 50,000 noncitizen farmworkers; and elected a number of leaders to local political office. The people who came out of the CSO — like Chavez, Huerta, and many others — would go on to play pivotal roles in the United Farm Workers and Chicano civil rights movements of the 1960s. After leaving the CSO in the early 1960s, Ross helped organize residents of Guadalupe, Arizona— home to both Mexican-Americans and Yaqui Indians—resulting in the group securing paved roads, stop signs, and other basic necessities from politicians who had long ignored their concerns. He then moved east for two years, where he taught organizing basics to students at Syracuse University. By now he had developed his own method, which relied heavily on a “house meeting” strategy that uses intimate living room gatherings as a means to build a broad organization. The campaign in Syracuse, funded through federal “War on Poverty” money, sought to organize African-American residents living in decrepit public housing. The Syracuse project soon generated national controversy — here was the government, after all, paying organizers to stir up protestors who then challenged government policies — and funding was soon pulled. Ross returned to California in 1966. By this time, Chavez and the farmworkers were locked in what likely amounted to a do-or-die struggle with the Teamsters over who would represent workers at DiGiorgio, a giant grower in the San Joaquin Valley. Ross was tasked with leading the election drive, in what amounted to a coming home affair: the cotton pickers who went out on strike at Arvin in 1939 — and were crushed with violence — had been DiGiorgio employees. Ross worked around the clock with a team of organizers to defeat the much wealthier Teamsters, who had the tacit support of the company. Ross would go on to spend the late 1960s and 70s assisting Chavez and the UFW with Southwestern College Awarded $2.475 Million Federal Grant Funding will boost stitution, Southwestern College completion rates for Latino serves more than 10,000 Latino students students each fall. A five-year effort to increase completion rates for Latinos and language learners at Southwestern College has been given a financial boost. The U.S. Department of Education has awarded the college $2,475,000 over five years for its Puertas al Futuro (Doorways to the Future) grant application. Funding will be used to create a first-year experience where cohorts of freshmen will work with a College Success Team and peer mentors to strengthen their study skills and build a learning community. The funding will also be used to shorten the time students spend in basic skills. Programming begins Oct. 1, 2014. “Puertas al Futuro helps us implement best practices that focus on counseling support, peer mentoring, learning communities and new instructional strategies,” said Dr. Melinda Nish, superintendent/president of Southwestern College. “Our goal is to streamline the pathways for students to complete their educational goals.” As a Hispanic-Serving In- various elections and boycotts, training thousands of UFW volunteers in his organizing strategy. The list of Ross trainees is long and impressive, including Eliseo Medina — until recently a top leader of SEIU and now a key advocate for immigration reform — and Marshall Ganz, who helped design Barack Obama’s 2008 field campaign. Ross, married twice and with three children, continued to organize into the 1980s, conducting trainings for a wide array of groups that tackled everything from U.S. intervention in Central America to nuclear disarmament. His final organizing project was with Neighbor to Neighbor, a group headed by his son, Fred Ross, Jr., which successfully pressured the Congress in 1987 to cut U.S. military aid to the Contras in Nicaragua. Ross was the author of Conquering Goliath: Cesar Chavez at the Beginning, along with a pamphlet called Axioms for Organizers. One of his favorite axioms described the role of the organizer: “A good organizer is a social arsonist who goes around setting people on fire.” In 1985, Ross told an interviewer, “All my life I’ve been looking to go to work with people who are in trouble of some kind. My goal was to help the people do away with fear — fear to speak up and demand their rights.” On September 27, 1992, the 82- year-old Ross, who had set so many people on fire over the course of his long life, passed away in San Rafael. At his memorial, Jerry Cohen, the creative and combative lawyer for the UFW, remembered Ross with these words: “Fred fought more fights and trained more organizers and planted more seeds of righteous indignation than anyone we’re ever likely to see again.” Thompson is an author and journalist who’s work appears regularly in The Nation and has written for the New York Times, MotherJones, ColorLines, amongst others. LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL El Soporte Informativo Para Millones de Hispanos Por Luisa Fernanda Montero ¡A lavarse las manos! Hasta hace muy pocos años, cuando el hombre carecía de las maravillosas herramientas que le ha dado la modernidad, la muerte era un asunto de jóvenes; muy pocos llegaban a la edad madura y muchos no alcanzaban la adolescencia. Antes de que llegaran al mundo anestésicos, penicilinas y otros antibióticos la vida del hombre era corta y dolorosa, muy dolorosa. Hoy los umbrales del dolor son desconocidos para la mayoría gracias a misteriosas sustancias liquidas o compactas con poderes mágicos que sorprenderían a cualquier alquimista de la edad media; pero no podemos abusar. Los agentes patógenos que transmiten enfermedades mortales o al menos muy molestas siguen existiendo y el mundo se enfrenta a la posibilidad de que los antibióticos pierdan su poder. Pero no vayamos tan lejos, quedémonos en los ataques cotidianos que pueden venir camuflados en los alimentos, el agua no procesada o el simple y puro descuido. Los baños públicos por ejemplo, y los de casa, si no se toman las precauciones del caso, son foco de infecciones, pero no solo ellos, computadores y teléfonos suelen estar llenos de microscópicos enemigos de nuestra salud. Por eso es fundamental tomar precauciones. Además de mantener nuestro entorno lo más limpio posible, debemos lavarnos las manos frecuentemente. Lavarse las manos, después de ir al baño, antes y después de manipular alimentos o tener acceso a ciertas superficies, recoger basura o heces de animales, lidiar con una persona enferma o cambiar pañales puede evitarnos muchos dolores de cabeza. Al lavarnos las manos estamos evitando la transmisión de gérmenes de persona a persona y evitando por tanto que lleguen a toda una comunidad, como lo recuerdan los Centros de Control de Enfermedades CDC- cuando indican que debemos hacerlo, además, con mucho cuidado. No se trata de mojar las manos y sobarlas con el jabón rápidamente, se trata de restregarlas y tener especial cuidado en las zonas que están entre los dedos y debajo de las uñas. La idea es lavarlas completamente por encima y por debajo y hasta la muñeca. Si no hay agua y jabón, puede usarse una solución desinfectante que contenga al menos un 60 por ciento de alcohol, claro, teniendo en cuenta que este tipo de soluciones eliminan ciertos gérmenes, pero no todos. El simple acto de mantener las manos limpias puede mantenernos lejos de ciertas enfer- Luisa Fernanda Montero medades respiratorias y estomacales y protegernos de los ataques de desagradables salmonelas, E. colis, norovirus y adenovirus entre otros gérmenes que además pueden generarnos infecciones cutáneas e irritaciones en los ojos. ¿Cuántas veces nos llevamos las manos a la cara sin pensar? Solo como punto de referencia, podemos pensar en que, de acuerdo con los CDC, más de 2,2 millones de niños menores de cinco años mueren cada año en el mundo por enfermedades infectocontagiosas como la diarrea o la neumonía; lavarse las manos puede proteger al menos uno de cada tres niños con diarrea y uno de cada seis niños con infecciones respiratorias como la neumonía. Diariamente debemos compartir con millones de seres, baños, barreras, escaleras, metros, buses y demás. ¿Cómo saber quien puso antes la mano justo ahí? Más vale prevenir que lamentar. Hábitos higiénicos tan sencillos como el correcto lavado de las manos pueden salvarnos la vida, o al menos, nos evitarán serios dolores de cabeza. Así que ¡a lavarse las manos! LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO AUGUST 29, 2014 Mateo Camarillo: “He encontrado el Sueño Americano” Por Pablo J. Sáinz Mateo Camarillo se mudó a San Diego de su natal Tijuana siendo un niño. Desde entonces, se ha convertido en uno de los activistas chicanos y empresarios más activos en San Diego. Su vida es un perfecto balance de activismo social y espíritu empresarial, algo que dijo ha podido lograr gracias a su habilidad de trabajar bien con otros. “El éxito en los negocios, en el trabajo social, en la labor social y en la acción cívica depende de trabajar bien con otros”, dijo Camarillo. “Nadie puede tener éxito por si mismo. El trabajo en equipo es clave para el éxito”. Como activista, Camarillo ha servido como director ejecutivo de la Chicano Federation y también trabajó arduamente para crear un nuevo distrito diverso en la Ciudad de San Diego, que eventualmente se convirtió en el Distrito 9. Como empresario, abrió un McDonald’s en Linda Vista en 1976, fue propietario de seis estaciones de radio en español, y más recientemente es dueño de All Amigos Ignition Interlock. Ha podido lograr todo esto siendo un inmigrante que está muy orgulloso de sus orígenes humildes. “Me considero un inmigrante de México donde nací”, dijo. “Nuestra familia emigró a los E.U. en busca de una mejor vida. Al crecer en Tijuana y vivir día a día, aprendimos que el éxito y la supervivencia se lograba si incluíamos a nuestros vecinos. Estábamos en la misma situación, pero juntos compartíamos nuestros limitados recursos”. Camarillo recientemente publicó An Immigrant’s Journey in Search of the American Dream, un libro donde comparte sus experiencias de vida, que abarcan los últimos 50 años de la historia de la Mateo Camarillo comunidad chicana de San Diego. En el libro, Camarillo detalle su vida temprana en Tijuana y San Diego, sus años universitarios en San Diego State University, su tiempo en la Chicano Federation y su participación cívica y carrera empresarial. “Varias personas en mi vida, como mi esposa Reina, me alentaron a escribir un libro cuando me estaban ayudando a organizar mis archivos”, dijo Camarillo, quien recientemente donó los Mateo Camarillo Papers al Chicana and Chicano Archive Project de San Diego State University. “Al haber sido un educador, sé lo importante que es tener documentados los logros sobresalientes para motivar a los estudiantes, nuestra siguiente generación de líderes comunitarios. El éxito con el que ellos se puedan identificar los motiva a alcanzar las estrellas. Todos necesitamos héroes y modelos a seguir positivos”. En verdad, el libro de Camarillo es un testamento de lo que un inmigrante puede otorgar a la sociedad estadounidense. “Estados Unidos sigue siendo una nación de inmigrantes”, escribe en su libro. “Los inmigrantes han jugado un papel enorme en el desarrollo democrático, multicultural y vitalidad económica de nuestro país”. Su meta con el libro es inspirar a otros, especialmente a los jóvenes latinos. “Mi mensaje a los jóvenes es que los héroes y líderes comunitarios existen en comunidades latinas para que ellos se puedan conectar con modelos a seguir positivos”, dijo Camarillo. “Espero que muchas personas lean mis memorias y se motiven a tomar acción en sus vidas y comunidades al unirse con otros en la misma situación”. Después de una vida entera entregado a los derechos humanos en San Diego, Camarillo dijo que está orgulloso de sus logros. Pero su logro más grande, dijo, es poder extender una mano de ayuda a la comunidad. “He encontrado el Sueño Americano”, dijo. “No es ser propietario de restaurantes y de estaciones de radio, ni vivir en vecindarios exclusivos o enseñar en dos universidades. Viene de ese sentimiento tibio cuando ayudas a otros”. Mateo Camarillo: “I have found the American Dream” By Pablo J. Sáinz Mateo Camarillo moved to San Diego from his native Tijuana as a little boy. Since then, he has become one of San Diego’s most active Chicano activists and entrepreneurs. His life is a perfect balance of social activism and business entrepreneurship, something he said he has been able to accomplish thanks to his ability to work well with others. “Success in business, social work, social engagement, and civic action is dependent on working with others,” Camarillo said. “No one succeeds by themselves. Team work is the key to success.” As an activist, Camarillo has served as executive director of the Chicano Federation and also worked hard to create a new diverse district in the City of San Diego, which eventually became District 9. As a business-owner, he opened his first McDonald’s franchise in Linda Vista in 1976, he owned six Spanishlanguage radio stations, and most recently he owns All Amigos Ignition Interlock. He has been able to accomplish all of this as an immigrant who is very proud of his humble origins. “I consider myself an immigrant from Mexico where I was born,” he said. “Our family immigrated to the U.S. in search for a better life. Growing up in Tijuana and living day to day, we learned that success and survival was enhanced by reaching out to our neighbors. We were similarly situated but together we shared our limited resources.” Camarillo recently published An Immigrant’s Journey in Search of The American Dream, a book where he shares his life experiences, which cover the last 50 years of San Diego’s Chicano community’s history. In the book, Camarillo details his early life in Tijuana and San Diego, his college years at San Diego State University, his time at the Chicano Federation, and his civic participation and business career. “Several significant individuals in my life, such as my wife Reina, encouraged me to write a book when they were helping me organize my files,” said Camarillo, who recently donated the Mateo Camarillo Papers to San Diego State University’s Chicana and Chicano Archive Project. “Having been an educator, I know how important it is to have documented examples of significant achievements to motivate students, our next generation of community leaders. Success that they can relate to motivates them to reach for the stars. We all need heroes and positive role models.” Truly, Camarillo’s book is a testament of what a single im- migrant can contribute to U.S. society. “America is still a nation of immigrants,” he writes in his book. “Immigrants have played a huge role in the development of our democratic, multicultural, and economic vitality of our country.” His goal with the book is to inspire others, especially Latino youth. “My message to our youth is that heroes and community leaders exist in Latino communities so that they can connect with positive role models,” Camarillo said. “I hope a lot of people read my memoirs and are motivated to take action to improve their lives and communities by joining with others similarly situated.” After a lifelong commitment to human rights in San Diego, Camarillo said he is proud of his accomplishments. But his greatest accomplishment, he said, is being able to extend a helping hand to the community. “I have found the American Dream,” he said. “It is not in owning restaurants, radio stations, living in exclusive neighborhoods or teaching at two universities. It comes from the warm feeling all over when you help others.” PHONE: 619-993-5778 FAX: 619-286-2231 PAGE 5 Ofreció Concierto de Guitarra Flamenca Giordano Gamiño Por Paco Zavala El extraordinario joven guitarrista mexicano Giordano Gamiño ofreció un concierto de guitarra flamenca en las instalaciones del Multiforo del Instituto de Cultura de Baja California, el pasado jueves 14 de agosto, la mitad de lo recaudado se destinó para beneficio de la Casa Hogar “Morada del Niño Jesús”, ubicada en el Ejido Matamoros de la ciudad de Tijuana, B.C.

PAGE 6 AUGUST 29, 2014 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO We ask the question: Why are Jim Cartmill and Bertha Lopez running for office? T his week we celebrate the contributions of the working man/woman of America on Labor Day. We celebrate his toil, sweat, and sacrifice to make this a great nation. It is the labor of the working man and woman who move this nation forward. While we celebrate the working man/ woman, we are reminded that Labor Day also signals the un-official kick-off for most local elections. In days gone by this would mean two hard months of campaigning were left to win voters over. Things are different today. With mail in ballots becoming more and more popular- and with those ballots being mailed the first week of October, this now means there is basically only one month of campaigning to reach early voters! While mail in ballots have made it convenient for the voter, it has also made it a tad bit more difficult for those newspapers, especially weeklies such as La Prensa San Diego, to do our due diligence and provide our recommendations/endorsements for candidates and ballot measures. This now has to be done within the short time frame of one month. More difficult - yes, but we move undaunted. With that in mind La Prensa wants to take a look at the upcoming Sweetwater Union High School District Board races. For the first time in history, board members will be elected by geographical district areas. This makes it more economical and easier to campaign. Also for the first time there will be a limit on campaign contributions, meaning that no individual can contribute more than $750. Lastly with Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez’s bill, school administrators are banned from raising money for board member’s campaigns. Presently there are 21 candidates running within the five geographical areas. That is a large number of candidates that we know very little about. But there are two candidates we know a lot about. However La Prensa question is; why are those two candidates running for election?’ The two known candidates are Jim Cartmill for trustee, area 3, and Bertha Lopez for trustee, area 2. Both of these candidates are former Sweetwater School Board Members that for the last two years were under indictment, charged with public corruption. This year they pleaded guilty for accepting gifts and lost their seats on the board. Now they are trying to regain their old position. In the case of Jim Cartmill it is difficult for us to understand why he would feel the need to run again? It is not as if he has any unfinished business on the board. He has already served on the Sweetwater School Board for 24 long years, none of the students going to school now were even born when Cartmill was first elected. La Prensa’s position is that a school board seat should not be for a lifetime, especially in the case of Mr. Cartmill who pleaded guilty to accepting gifts from contractors. In the case of convicted board member Bertha Lopez, her reason for running for trustee is not all that difficult to figure out. Bertha believes along with the support of several members of the community that she with her husband Jose Lopez (who sits on the Otay Water board) is a political juggernaut in the South Bay community. Bertha needs this elected seat to continue in her self serving role of being a political mover and shaker. In the case of Bertha Lopez any controversy you find her involved with, she will be at the center of that chaos. This has always been Bertha way of doing business, create an atmosphere of chaos, so that friends and supporters can benefit. Of course always at the expense of the education of students. A prime example of this was her political campaign to have Principal Robert Bleisch of Castle Park Middle School, fired. The chaos on the Sweetwater School Board and district over the years was due to a lack of leadership that can be attributed directly to some board members, but especially to Cartmill and Lopez. The negative news stories, the chaos at board meetings, illegal dealings with private institutions, and shady real estate deals that finally ended in legal indictments of the board can all be attributed to Cartmill and Lopez while they served as board trustees. The upcoming November election represents a fresh clean start for the district. This is a long awaited opportunity for the district to clean out the negative residues that was left behind by the last school board. It is La Prensa’s opinion that if either Cartmill or Lopez (or both) are elected again that all of the negative residues left from the last chaotic years, will surely return. Cartmill’s and Lopez’s elections to the board will have the political effect of blunting any honest efforts by newly elected board members to diligently work to bring about much needed integrity to the Sweetwater Union High School District. La Prensa believes that both Cartmill and Lopez have lost their rights to serve as elected official, after pleading guilty to crimes while serving as board members. It is La Prensa’s position that neither candidate offer anything so valuable (to the community) that warrants voters to consider them for public office. The decision rests in the hands of the voters. Labor Day: Skills for a Lifetime By Thomas E. Perez As the Secretary of Labor, I have a unique opportunity to meet with employers around the country of all sizes and from an array of industries. So many of them tell me the same thing; they’re ready to grow their businesses and to hire more people. But here’s the rub: too often, they can’t find workers who have the skills they need. Meanwhile, although businesses have added 9.9 million jobs since February 2010, a lot of people are still hurting, unable to access the opportunities that will allow them to share in our national recovery. About a third of those who remain unemployed have been unemployed for six months or more. So we have ready-to-work people looking for work. And we have ready-to-fill jobs that employers can’t fill. If we want to continue our economic recovery, grow our middle class and ensure a prosperous future, we’ve got to match them up. That’s at the heart of President Obama’s opportunity agenda. And that’s why he recently signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) – a bipartisan bill that passed with little fanfare, but represents the first major reform of the nation’s workforce system since 1998. The reforms in the new law will make the nation’s workforce system, which serves more than 20 million people a year, better able to provide people with the skills they need to access ladders of opportunity. But that’s not all. Vice President Biden recently released a report calling for stronger partnerships with employers; better access to information for job-seekers; and more effective training strategies. All of these efforts are based on the principle of job-driven training. We’re doing away with what I call “train and pray,” – training people to be widget makers and praying that there’s a company hiring widget makers. We need to provide people with the skills needed for jobs that actually exist. So what exactly does “job-driven training” look like? Here’s an example. High school students in the East San Gabriel Valley are getting hands-on career training in science, technology and healthcare industries. Through the regional Career Pathways Partnership, school officials are offering students an integrated academic and career development curriculum, providing them with industry-recognized credentials upon graduation and leg up to succeed in college. And perhaps the most important ingredient to making this program successful? The school system has developed strong partnerships with local employers – like Boeing and the San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership - to provide students with education and training that will lead to jobs in fields employers are looking to expand. In April, this program was awarded a $4.5 million Youth CareerConnect grant from the (see Labor Day, page 7) Inequality: A Broad Middle Class Requires Empowering Workers By Robert Borosage union strategies. And with the election of Ronald Reagan as president, all gloves were off. • Unions now represent less than 7 percent of the private workforce. As unions declined, wages no longer rose with productivity. CEOs and investors captured ever higher portions of corporate income. The minimum wage lost value. Corporations gutted pensions and health care plans. Incomes on the top soared, while those on the bottom sunk. America grew apart. The decline of unions is indisputably at the center of America’s growing inequality and hallowed-out middle class. But what is also clear is that reviving shared prosperity and rebuilding the middle class isn’t likely to occur without reviving the ability of workers to organize and bargain collectively. That’s true at the workplace. Over one-third of our jobs now are contingent – part-time, short-term, on-call. Workers cobble together different jobs to survive, but often don’t know what their hours will be. But no job is inherently marginal. Workers don’t lack education; they lack power. Where unions are strong – such as for maids, bellman, and porters in New York hotels – workers negotiate for regular hours, while gaining decent wages, health care and pensions. And it’s true for our politics. Most remedies for inequality include calls for progressive tax reform, for investment in education and training. The more insightful advocate balancing our trade and ending perverse incentives that reward CEOs for plundering their own companies. But none of these reforms is likely without a strong mobilization of workers – a strong union movement – to elect leaders and drive the debate. It isn’t an accident that corporations and the right have seen weakening unions as central to their political project. Reviving unions will take new forms of organizing, new alliances, new thinking. In Los Angeles, for example, an active union movement – built significantly in immigrant communities — helped elect officials who then used government procurement and zoning powers to demand that companies pay decent wages, adhere to labor standards, and end sabotage of worker organizing. In the fast-food walkouts of this summer, new alliances with religious and community groups, support by elected officials such as members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, provided both protection for the workers and began to enlist consumer support for better wages. Government policy helped to build strong unions; government policy helped to undermine them. Winning the necessary reforms against the entrenched big money politics of our time won’t be easy. But the first step is for progressives to be clear: At the center of any agenda to rebuild the middle class must be a commitment to empowering workers to organize and bargain collectively, to rebuild a strong worker voice both in the workplace and in our politics. On Labor Day, families gather, politicians pay tribute to values of hard work, and some workers even get an extra day off. But this Labor Day arrives with working families struggling to stay afloat. Working family incomes haven’t gone up in the 21st century. Inequality reaches new extremes. Corporate profits are reaping a record portion of the nation’s income, while worker wages wallow at record lows. Three-fourths of Americans fear their children will fare less well than they have. This Labor Day, we should do more than celebrate workers – we should understand how vital reviving worker unions is to rebuilding a broad middle class. The raging debate on inequality and its remedies often omits discussion of unions. Inequality is blamed on globalization and technology that have transformed our workforce. Remedies focus on better education and more training, with liberals supporting fair taxes to help pay the cost. But this leaves power and politics out of the equation. Americans are better educated than ever, with high school and college graduation rates at record levels. Technological change was as rapid when America was building the middle class as it is now. Globalization isn’t an act of nature; it is a set of trade, tax and corporate policies that benefit some and injure others. Our extreme inequality and our sinking middle class are the product of political choices and political power. And central to this reality: the rise and the fall of worker power in the form of unions able to bargain collectively at the workplace and mobilize worker power in the political arena. Trying to explain rising inequality without talking about unions is like explaining why the train is late – the tracks are worn, the weather is bad – without noting that one of its engines has been sabotaged. The facts are clear. The Campaign for America’s Future released a report – “Inequality: Rebuilding the Middle Class Requires Reviving Strong Unions” – that lays out the essential facts. In brief: • America’s broad middle class was built when unions were strong, representing over one-third of the private workforce. Strong unions helped workers win better wages and benefits at the workplace, and championed vital reforms in the political arena — raising the minimum wage, creating Medicare, raising Social Security benefits, workplace safety and more – that helped build the broad middle class. • During those years, workers shared in the increased productivity and profits that they helped to create. Incomes on the bottom actually grew faster than top-end incomes. America grew together. • Then furious corporate campaigns succeeded in weakening unions. Laws banned powerful union-organizing tactics. Multinationals wrote trade rules that facilitated moving jobs abroad, Robert L.

This increase in militarism and the use of aggressive tactics to resolve problems are now becoming the political norm in US foreign policy relations, responses to the surging anger of minority communities here at home, and the practice of spying and surveillance on the US public through the illegal collection of their personal information and activities by the NSA. The continuing flow of heavy weaponry from the federal government to local law enforcement now includes armored vehicles, military assault rifles, tanks, tear gas and other lethal hardware. The possession of such an arsenal of deadly weapons will eventually be used against communities as this trend continues to transform local police departments from protect and serve civil servants into aggressive para-military forces. The increasing use of heavily-armed police who launch war-like operations such as discriminatory gang injunctions, drug busts by SWAT teams who resemble soldiers and police responses to incidents armed with deadly firepower often result in over reaction and injuries to innocent people. In many cases, the use of these weapons and aggressive tactics further inflames the existing anger within ethnic communities which is what has occurred in Ferguson Missouri and other communities who are already suffering from a lack of decent social services and heavy-handed tactics and racial profiling by the police. Militarization and armed confrontation cannot resolve our social problems The US public is the world’s largest consumer of illegal drugs and this profitable market continues to expand. Attempting to repress the suppliers of this growing demand through a billion-dollar ‘War on Drugs’ only creates more heavily armed gangs, rampant violence and overflowing prisons which have now become schools for crime. The complex issue of immigration reform requires a logical political process and just resolution that is mutually acceptable to all concerned. The government’s policy of declaring a ‘war on immigration’ which resorts to tactics of mass deportations, a heavily-armed blockade of the border and a rapid increase in the armed forces and weaponry to man this 2000 mile frontier is economically and politically unsustainable. The political decision to utilize a military solution to resolve this problem rather than using common sense, economics and principled negotiations ultimately the result is failure. Domestically, the ongoing ‘war on gangs’ ignores any concrete solutions to the underlying social problems that motivate these young people to choose and live this dangerous life style. The crusade of heavily-armed police being used against gangs, targets this growing problem by utilizing racial profiling to stop suspects, mass gang injunctions and organizing combative sweeps and raids into minority communities. These aggressive anti-gang sweeps utilize deadly surplus weapons left over from numerous US conflicts abroad and are patterned after war-time operations. Another group that is increasingly being victimized by these combative police responses are the mentally ill and homeless. As the number of mentally-ill people within the country in- Labor Day creases and the level of medical care provided to them declines, their behavior on the streets is increasingly being viewed as a criminal threat by police who are trained to respond to emotional outbursts and abnormal behavior by immediately shooting to kill. All of these pressing social problems within our society which range from drugs, immigration, gangs, the mentally ill and homeless have a cause and effect relationship. The root causes of these problems are generally ignored by government officials who instead focus on the effects and then automatically respond to them in an irrational and belligerent manner that utilizes aggression and force to supposedly solve these problems Militarization: a failure to pinpoint the causes and solutions of problems The militarization solution in order to resolve complex problems has created negative consequences for our society. This has resulted in viewing certain minority communities through a military perspective and treating them as enemy combatants who need to be periodically occupied with heavily armed police and order maintained through the use of force. Military action simply reinforces the present and backward mindset of negating the causes of social problems by primarily focusing on their harmful effects and then irrationally attempting to use aggressive tactics and force as a quick solution. Treating certain communities as the enemy who need to be periodically repressed and kept in their subordinate position within our society will only backfire and eventually create more anger and resistance as shown by the residents of Ferguson. The increasing use of military-style campaigns by local police forces will not resolve any of our deeply-rooted social problems. A fresh and alternative approach is needed which requires a careful analysis of the causes of our pressing social problems and the formulation of logical and realistic policies that are practical, less costly and which will work in the real world. For example, if we use our resources to fund and improve the educational level of people in our society, then poverty will be reduced as well as the lure of youth gangs and the eventual imprisonment of young people. Meanwhile, reaching a just political agreement on immigration will result in reducing the amount of weaponry and violence along the border and decreasing the number of people deported and locked up in immigration detention centers. The militarization of our society is proceeding in an incremental manner and this process is contradictory to maintaining democratic rights within our society. A militaristic outlook, mentality and repressive methods are incompatible with that of a democratic ideology that condones diverse ideas, methods and free expression. We cannot have both which leaves us with two clear alternatives: either roll over and passively accept this growing totalitarian trend or stand firm, speak up and oppose it. Some middle-class people take the attitude that this issue doesn’t affect them as they don’t live in a barrio or ghetto. Yet, this undemocratic trend of militarization affects all of us in regard to our quality of life, the use of our taxes, our political right to protest and having to endure continual violence and countless new enemies. Either take a stand to stop this march toward militarization or accept an eventual loss of personal liberties and rights to a regime that resembles ‘Big Brother’. ery day to our nation’s strength and vitality. And we recommit ourselves to helping more people enjoy the dignity of work, helping them acquire the skills and access the opportunities to reach the American Dream.

En 1954 se instituyó la llamada Operación Wetback para deportar a miles de personas indocumentadas, quienes habían llegado a este país por medio del Programa Bracero. Fue otra de las grandes vergüenzas de las altas esferas del gobierno en contra de la población latina. Y el término “mud [people]” es utilizado por grupos racistas neonazis y skinheads para referirse a la gente latina. Así, históricamente los euro-norteamericanos se refirieron a los grupos minoritarios étnicos con nombres vulgares, no solamente para insultarlos, sino también para relegarlos intencionalmente en los eslabones más bajos de la sociedad. Lo mismo sucedió con el término de redskins, el cual es un nombre peyorativo que descalifica a la población originaria de Norteamérica. Recientemente el periódico Washington Post optó en no utilizar esta palabra ofensiva en sus Editoriales por considerarla un insulto a la comunidad originaria. Obviamente, el reconocimiento de los editores de este medio de comunicación es valorable, pero siento que se queda corto. Los periódicos y otros medios de comunicación deberían minimizar su utilización, especialmente para identificar al equipo de futbol de Washington. Por mi parte, desde hoy en adelante, yo simplemente me referiré a los […] como el “equipo de Washington”. Después del abandono de los Raiders a Oakland, la ciudad de Los Ángeles ha buscado imperiosamente un equipo de futbol que, no solo enaltezca las cualidades innatas de su gente, sino que ese equipo se convierta en una inversión que produzca beneficios económicos para toda la comunidad angelina. Qué les parece si una vez adquirido la luz verde de la NFL, los residentes de los Ángeles tengan la mala fortuna de encontrar un empresario con las mismas características de Donald Sterling, ex dueño del equipo de basketball de los Clippers, o Dan Snyder, mandamás de los “redskins”. El primero, Sternling, ofendió a la comunidad afroamericana con comentarios racistas e intolerantes. El segundo, Snyder, persiste con la idea de que el nombre de su equipo es una palabra inofensiva. Por supuesto que “redskins” es vulgar y ofensivo. Es como si existiera un equipo de futbol americano en la ciudad de Los Ángeles con el nombre de “los greasers” o “los wetbacks” o peor aún los “muds”. La palabra “greaser” se utilizó durante el Siglo XIX para describir e insultar a los inmigrantes mexicanos, por los trabajos “sucios” que realizaban y por su supuesta apariencia “grasosa”. Este término, lamentablemente, lo legalizó el gobierno californiano por medio de una vergonzosa ley conocida como el Greaser Act (1855), misma que dispuso la prohibición de vagos grasosos en las calles. Por su parte, Wetbacks fue utilizado desde la década de 1920 hasta nuestros días.

My boyfriend is Mexican, and I am a gabacha. Whenever my boyfriend sees a Mexican girl with someone of a different race, he gets disgusted and mad (especially when he sees them with black guys.)

Do all Mexicans feel this way, or is my boyfriend pinche loco? Lover of Verga Dear Gabacha: Of course your guy is pinche loco—but so are all men of color.

That said, I’m not going to dismiss the anti-negrito sentiment that still dominates the Mexican mind, especially when said negrito is dating a mexicana.

Tecate, municipio declarado en el 2012 como pueblo mágico por la Secretaria de Turismo, tiene el honor de llevar el nombre de la cerveza que lo ha puesto en la mira internacional con la exitosa bebida. La planta cervecera que lleva el nombre de Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma fue inaugurada por el empresario Don Alberto Aldrete en el año de 1944, por ello, este 2014 será un año de celebración para la cervecería y lo festeja con una serie de eventos por todo México, y la mejor manera de hacerlo es comenzar con abrir las puertas de su casa, el lugar donde se originó la internacional cerveza: la planta de operaciones en Tecate, Baja California. Posteriormente diversas actividades que van desde concierto, box, comida y exposiciones de arte en galería. En una extensa visita turística ofrecida por la cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma a medios de comunicación: locales y extranjeros, se apreciaron muestras de lo que la celebración en el pueblo mágico implica. La cita se dio en la estación de Tren Simón Bolívar en la ciudad de Tijuana para emprender el traslado en tren rumbo a Tecate, atravesando los bellos paisajes ro- cosos que acertadamente le dan su característico nombre; asignado –según los historiadores locales- por las antiguas comunidades de la localidad bautizaron, “piedra o árbol cortado”. Al arribar a la ciudad la primera parada fue un recorrido por la planta de operaciones de la cervecería para observar a detalle el proceso etapa por etapa –desde la fermentación hasta el embasado- con la guía de los expertos, que posteriormente ofrecieron en rueda de prensa lo que esta celebración significa para su empresa y los pormenores de los diferentes atractivos que a lo largo de una semana resaltaron los atractivos del pueblo mágico por sus 70 años de historia con lo mas representativo de éstos. Lo expresado en la rueda de prensa por Franco María Maggi -director de Marcas de la cervecería- dijo que para demostrar de qué está hecha Tecate, durante un año se llevarán a cabo actividades en todo el territorio nacional, aprovechando activos de Tecate, como futbol, box y música. “Empezaremos con el concierto de Los Tigres del Norte, experiencias gastronómicas con siete chefs originarios de Baja California, actividades al aire libre, un Beer Garden y, el cierre de la semana, con una extraordinaria función de Box” dijo. Además para conmemorar este aniversario, durante este año estará disponible una lata de 16 onzas edición especial. Es claro que esta la cerveza Tecate se mantiene como líder en todo México, y actualmente ha rebasado las fronteras de las ligas locales y este 2014 se integra como uno de los prin- cipales patrocinadores del prestigiado equipo de futbol “Club Barcelona”. Jorge Meillón, vicepresidente de operaciones de Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, comentó “aprender sobre la historia de Cerveza Tecate en Baja California nos motiva a seguir trabajando muy duro para alimentar una de las historias de éxito más inspiradoras que existen en el mundo cervecero”. La muestra culinaria organizada por los chefs principales del movimiento de cocina estilo Baja-Med contara con la presencia de de los principales exponentes: Martín San Román, Bianca Castro-Cerio Trenti, Ryan Steyn, Miguel Ángel Guerrero, Javier Plasencia, Mariela Manzano y Alma Daniela Santana.
