Cruising into Summeren Latino estilo con las Jamaicas


The Emerging Voice of Lubbock


On the Cover“Cruising”

Photo ByChristy Martinez-Garcia

On this month's cover is a classic car owned by one of the local car club members. In Lubbock there are 16 lowrider car clubs. The summertime is their favorite time to cruise and gather around to showcase their hard work, and their pride in a longtime tradition.Many may recall driving with your dad or abuelo in their old classic car. Or hearing the stories about the family car that got them around town, took them from town to town as migrants workers, and the pride of the family when they fi rst purchased the car. For some the car was handed down from family member to family member until the car could no longer run. I also recall cruising at Mackenzie Park in my dad's 55 Chevy.As such, driving with family I thought would be a good way to cruise into summer, celebrate Father's Day, and showcase a lasting tradition - las jamaicas.

May God Bless all fathers and grandfathers.

At 5:45 p.m. each day, my sisters and I would wait anxiously for my father to ar-

rive from work. As soon as we saw him driving up we would run to greet his car. While our faces were fi lled with smiles, his own tired and sun-beaten face would modestly light up as he was greeted by his daily welcome party. My father worked outdoors in construction.

Everyday his skin tanned a little darker, his hair was wind blown and fi lled with dust, and he smelled of sweat mixed with dirt. My dad worked hard.As he got off the car, one of us would dart for his lunch box (he always

brought home a treat and reminded us to share), one of us would carry his jacket, and one of us always wore his hard hat into the house. My youngest sister always managed to get carried in. Inside we would help him take off his work boots and socks. We always

commented about the smell, and yet, everyday we would take pride in help-ing my dad. Something that always made an impression on me was when he removed

his watch. The sweaty, wide leather band was replaced by a ring of un-tanned wrist.As my mom completed dinner he would bathe and we would fi ll the cups

with drinks and set the table. As we shared the meal he would always tell her how good her cooking was and that she made the best chile. Then the meal was over. He would wash his hands, and use lotion on his

hands and face to relieve them. With that, he would collect his books, kiss my mom, and head to night school at South Plains College where he was working on a college degree.For a couple of years this was the story of our lives. When it was time for my dad to graduate, we weren’t real sure what this

signifi ed. What I do remember is that after the ceremony, as families gath-ered to congratulate their graduates, my dad who rarely demonstrated his emotions, reached out to my mom and to us and hugged us with relief. Then my grandfather hugged him and shared how proud he was. I recall how he would refer to my dad as hijo.As we departed home, I still recall being the one to put on his cap with

the dangling tassel, my sister carried his degree, and my other sister put on his graduation gown. I also remember that my dad would always tell me "They can take away,

your house, your car, your job... but they can never take away your educa-tion. I asked him who "They" was. And his response was just never let anyone hurt you. A summer later, when I was around 11 years-old my parents let me go

stay with my family members in Muleshoe, TX - in part to get to know them better, and, to learn how to sew, and to learn how to cook family recipes handed down for many generations from my great aunts Cecelia and Pancha. One day, as I walked to the local hospital to meet my cousin for lunch, I

crossed the edge of a yard when suddenly a woman and her daughter darted out of the home and screamed "Wetback get off our yard!"I knew that word was bad. And at that moment I felt like I had been robbed

of some of my youthful naïvety. That said, that word is unacceptable to me. We received several letters included in our Letters to the Editors section. You will read a couple, one angry, and one apologetic. Both are appreci-ated, because ultimately that is the start of dialogue... and, it is something that we must continue to discuss respectfully.Latino Lubbock Magazine is excited to celebrate Jamaicas, Father's Day,

and graduations with our readers. Other observances include Artigas Day (Uruguay) June 19 , which celebrates the birthday of General José Gerva-sio Artigas, forefather of Uruguay. Feast of San Juan Bautista, or St. John the Baptist, patron saint of Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan on June 24. Other Latinos celebrate the day as el Día de San Pedro. And, Saint Peter and St. Paul, known as San Pedro y San Pablo on June 29th. Celebrated in Spain and many Latin-American countries. I showcase these dates to demonstrate that Latinos are just as diverse as the rest of the community.Please continue to send us your stories and photos; encourage folks to

pick up and utilize Latino Lubbock Magazine; and most importantly urge your merchants to invest in advertising, like we invest in their businesses and services.Como siempre, Latino Lubbock is committed to highlighting the numerous

contributions of our Latino community. Thank you to those who support our publication. We now have 100,000 readers monthly.Please continue to support our advertisers who help make it possible to

keep our publication free. Thank you for your support and May God bless you! ¡Gracias por su apoyo! Que dios los bendiga. PEACE and random acts of kindness. Que las bendiciones de dios estén contigo en mayo y siempre!

A Hero Ful f i l l ing a PlanAnthony Villareal served country, educating self, serving wounded soldiersBY CHRISTY MARTINEZ-GARCIA

The confident tone of retired Marine Corps Corporal An-thony Villarreal as he ad-

dresses crowds, can give anyone lis-tening - from youth to the toughest man - an emotional sense of pride, and, appreciation for their service men and women.Like many brave young soldier, he

decided to serve in the military three months after he graduated from Coronado High School. So he joined the Marine Corps and soon went off to boot camp. Villarreal soon found himself serv-

ing two tours of duty in Iraq, which he is very proud of, and was in Af-ghanistan on his third tour when an improvised explosive device struck the truck he was driving. He lost his right arm, multiple fingers on his left hand and suffered burns over 80 percent of his body. He was told that after the explosion he crawled out of the vehicle. "The last thing I remember was be-

ing loaded into the helicopter," he said.Anthony said that it was tough to

deal with the loss of his right arm and several fingers from his left hand, and the severe burns he re-ceived in the blast."When I first saw myself in the

mirror, I didn't recognize who I was looking at," he said - with no re-grets. He decided

that there was a reason that this had hap-pened to him and he had to fulfill God's plan for him-self. So, he be-

gan therapy , which he described was hard be-cause he had to learn everything again like a baby - eat, walk, talk, use the restroom. "Very hard to see yourself totally

different. "Regardless of the circumstance,

Anthony carries out his plan, and he is just grateful to God to be alive and do what he has always wanted to do, go to college.And for his service, his faith, and

his tenacity, Anthony and his wife Jessica, have been blessed.He is among the Wounded War-

riors Project to show that no matter the circumstance, wounded soldiers are not alone. In July 2010, he served as an honorary captain during the

Texas Tech vs. Missouri game.And now, thanks to Operation Fi-

nally Home, a program that provides a mortgage-free home to a veteran disabled in the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and WTBA, Anthony and Jessica, will get to move in to their new house in the North Pointe subdivision, at the end of June.Anthony and Jessica said they are

very grateful to the community. He added that now he and Jessica will be able to go to attend college and prepare for the next chapter in their life.More importantly, he said he is

committed to helping other wound-ed soldiers like him, who need help."I'm truly honored, and I'm very

proud to have served my country."

Community Update

The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors

(DREAM) Act has become contro-versial for all the wrong reasons. The bill is a common-sense approach to an issue the entire country is famil-iar with.Let’s get the facts straight. The

DREAM Act creates a path to legal permanent residence for undocu-mented children who arrived in the U.S. when they were 15 years of age or younger, have lived in the U.S. for at least fi ve years, have good moral character, have graduated from high school or obtained a GED, and at-tend college or serve in the military for two years.That’s it – a straightforward ap-

proach that helps everyone. It gives these students powerful incentives to stay in school, do well and gradu-ate. These aren’t people we should be “punishing.” These are people who are going to help build the next American economy.Its opponents seem to think tough

talk, photo ops on the border, and a lot of hot air is all it takes to fi x our broken immigration system. They’re wrong. We need to take all aspects of immigration reform seriously instead of fi xating on a border wall pipe dream that’s never going to sat-

isfy anybody or solve any problems.A 2010 study by the

North American Integra-tion and Development Center at the University of California-Los Ange-les estimated that the to-tal earnings of DREAM Act benefi ciaries over the course of their working lives would be between $1.4 trillion and $3.6 tril-lion. A 2007 study by the Alliance for Excellent Ed-ucation estimates that each high school dropout costs the nation $260,000 in lost taxes and productivity.What’s the lesson from that? You,

your neighbors, and your families are parts of the economy, just like everyone else, and state and local economies are harmed when they have less educated populaces. The nation’s competitive standing de-clines when we have high dropout rates. The DREAM Act will benefi t ev-

eryone. The students themselves will get right with the law, earn high-er wages and enjoy a more secure livelihood. At the same time, the nation benefi ts from their increased

DREAM ACT: Getting the Facts Straightpurchasing power, col-lects more tax revenue and sees higher levels of worker productivity.The American people

have demanded that Congress take action to fi x our broken immigra-tion system. I have often called on my Congres-sional colleagues to sup-port this bill and allow these millions of young people the opportunity to fulfi ll the American dream.Despite the historic

bipartisan passage of the DREAM Act in the House of Representatives in 2010, a small Senate minority fi li-bustered the bill and denied millions of talented young people the oppor-tunity to serve a country they know as their own. Just as importantly, they deprived the rest of the country of the many benefi ts these individu-als can bring our communities.The failure of the DREAM Act was

not a matter of failed policy, but of politics.Following the disappointing vote

in the Senate, President Obama said we must not give up on the DREAM Act. I and many of my colleagues

stand with him in support of the bill, and 22 Senate Democrats wrote to him recently to highlight an impor-tant way to start putting it into prac-tice.Until the bill is enacted, individu-

als who would be eligible for the DREAM Act are subject to deporta-tion. Though technically out of sta-tus, DREAM Act students should not be removed from the United States. The letter respectfully requested that President Obama exercise his au-thority to protect the dreams of de-serving immigrant students and stop their deportations. I wholeheartedly support this position.No one who believes in fairness

and opportunity believes these stu-dents deserve to be deported. This is our chance to extend the American dream to a new generation of de-serving individuals. (Spanish ver-sion availble by emailing [email protected])

STATEMENT OF APOLOGYDuring a broadcast, last week, on Fox Talk 950, the line was crossed. In the midst of a live talk show, our co-host responded to a caller who made an offensive state-ment. The conversation took a turn down the wrong path. Our co-host realized the error of his statements and has issued an apology on behalf of himself, our station and our company. The apology took place on the air, to a caller who called him to task. The caller accepted, believing our host to be sincere, which he is. We have discussed the incident internally and believe it to be an honest, however distasteful, mistake.

YBARRA JUST ONE VOTEMr. Garcia blamed Mario Ybarra for the school closings, which isn't fair. Granted he should have worked more for his con-stituents, but I blame all of the school board members. Ybarra is just one vote. Also, Karen Garza made it clear from the moment she started at LISD that she would be closing schools. We can't just blame lo-cal politicians we need to blame state politi-cians as well - they are too blame for the budget cuts.

ASK THE RESIDENTSI agree with many of last month's writers about Amigos. The corporate offi ce needs to stop making assumptions about the peo-ple they THINK they are serving. Or, they need to ask the residents from those neigh-borhoods, instead of whoever is giving them bad advice about what Hispanics like.Also, I'm disappointed that they no longer have Latino Lubbock in the store, another example of how THEY DON'T KNOW US, AND DISREGARD WHAT WE WANT.

God Bless you,Juanita Rodriguez

WETBACK COMMENT BY RAMAR HOST

I'm still shocked by what I heard the other morning on Fox 950/RAMAR, the mother company of Magic and Telemundo! Dave King blurted out the words "Wetback" and kept going on the subject. He also claimed that he could pick out "Wetbacks" just by looking at them - us Hispanics! Racial Profi l-ing at its fi nest! I have been a fan of Magic and I know that the gringo owner is mak-ing a lot of money from the advertising - I thought he liked us! But maybe he likes the money more. If I were him, I'd protect what is bringing in el dinero.

Thanks again,David Estrada

LUBBOCK NEEDS AN HEBWhen are we going to get an HEB in Lubbock? If we had an HEB here in Lubbock, we (Hispanics) could do all of our shopping there. HEB is a Hispanic based store. They have the best selec-tions of traditional foods that we cook and eat. Who knows it would probably save us some money. I know that ev-ery time that we are in an area that has an HEB, we do shopping for items that are hard to get around here. Right now the closest HEB is either Midland or Big Spring, why not work on getting one here, then we would not have to rely on one store to do our shopping. We need to rally and get a petition going to get an HEB here in town.

SUPPORTER OF BOTHMr. Owens, It is sad to know that Latino Lubbock will no longer be available at United Supermarkets. I support United Supermarkets by buying my groceries for many years, but, I am also a supporter of Latino Lubbock which is a free publication for anyone that chooses to pick up a copy. I hope you would reconsider and not charge Latino Lubbock a fee to have a newspaper/stand at each of your stores.

Thank you, Sylvia Juarez

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Immigration Law

BY NATHAN KOPPEL

The Supreme Court backed an Arizona law that sanctions

businesses that hire illegal immigrants.On a 5-3 vote, the

court held that fed-eral immigration law does not preempt Ar-izona from suspend-ing or revoking the licenses of businesses that violate state immigration law.Chief Justice Roberts wrote the

27-page opinion, which can be found here. And here's a report from WSJ.Then-Gov. Janet Napolitano

signed the Arizona law in 2007, saying that while immigration is a federal responsibility, Arizona had been forced to deal with the issue because the demand for cheap, un-documented labor in the state was contributing to illegal immigra-tion.Numerous organizations, includ-

ing the Chamber of Commerce, have contended the state's law was barred by the federal Immigration

Reform and Control Act of 1986, which forbids states from impos-ing sanctions for hiring illegal im-migrants, WSJ reports. But the

federal law exempts "licensing and simi-lar laws," and a key issue in the case was whether Ari-zona's law fell under that exemption.The Chamber of

Commerce argued that allowing states and localities to regulate immigration would cre-ate a "crazy quilt" of statues that will burden employers and would be unfair to employees, according to WSJ.Several states have enacted simi-

lar measures penalizing employers for hiring illegal workers, while others are considering legislation like Arizona's.Three of the high court's liberal

wing dissented: Justices Breyer, Ginsburg and Sotomayor; Ka-gan did not participate because she worked on it previously while serving as U.S. solicitor.

The U.S. Constitution requires that a census of the United States

be taken every ten years. This census is the offi cial basis for determining both the boundary and population of legislative districts, city council dis-tricts, school boards trustee districts, etc. The U.S. Supreme Court decided cases involving such political offi ces, and their geographic dimensions and population size under a concept now known as “one person-one vote.” The Court held that this “one person-one vote” concept was protected by the “…the equal protection of the laws…” in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This simply means that city council districts must have an equal number of people. In Lubbock, our City Charter provides for six city council districts. We now have the 2010 population of those districts and their boundaries as the boundaries existed following the 2000 census. Lubbock has grown by just over thir-ty thousand people. Our districts are affected by those numbers. When we divide our new population by six, it reveals that the ideal number of each district is 38,262. This shows that: (1) District 1 needs 5,166 additional people; (2) District 2 needs 5,113 ad-ditional people; (3) District 3 needs 2,142 additional people; (4) District 4 needs 399 less people; (5) District 5 needs 6,555 less people; and, (6) Dis-trict 6 needs 5,468 less people. The process of doing the necessary

moves up or down in the population of a District, if it only involved mov-ing people would be a fairly simple process. However, the Federal Voting Rights Act requires that, if it is pos-sible, you need to create districts that

protect minority majori-ties in a specifi c district. Thus, in redrawing the lines, as in Lubbock’s case, because of popula-tion growth, we must be aware that we have two minority districts. Those are Districts 1 and 2. Un-less it is impossible to do it, those districts must be maintained as districts with minority majorities, and the percent and num-ber of minority persons in the District should, if possible, be maintained and not diminished. Our City Council has appointed a

Redistricting Advisory Committee. Each Council member including the Mayor appointed two members to the Committee. The Mayor then also ap-pointed a chairperson. This creates a Committee of fi fteen persons. The Committee completed the pro-

cess of holding meetings in each of the six existing districts to receive public comment. The City has hired two lawyers from Waco who are ex-perts in handling these redistricting matters. These lawyers also teach at the Baylor Law School. These law-yers have provided proposed maps that comply with the requisite laws. It is these maps that were considered at the meetings. The initial six meetings are over.

Now the committee will meet at City Hall with the public invited to attend. However, discussion at this meeting will be limited to only Committee members. The result of this meeting will be a map or maps as decided by the Committee as their proposed

“One Person-One Vote”Objective of Redistricting process, to comply with 14th Amendment

map choice(s). Then another meeting will be held where the public may appear and comment on the Commit-tee’s proposed map(s). That fi nal committee meeting may or may not result in changes to the proposed map(s). The competed map(s) will then be formally presented to the City Coun-cil. After the City council de-

cides on A SINGLE MAP, it will be submitted to the U.S.

Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ has sixty days to approve or re-ject the map. If it is rejected, then the City has sixty days to submit a new map. When a map is submitted to the DOJ, persons may submit their com-ments to the DOJ. They may submit their comments anonymously if they choose to do that. The objective of this entire process

is to create Council Districts that comply with the 14th Amendment’s “one person-one vote” mandate and to protect under the Voting Rights Act minority interests, if that is pos-sible. The purpose of the seven Com-mittee meetings, where the public is invited to voice its opinions, is to in-sure that the citizens of Lubbock have had input into the Redistricting Advi-sory Committee’s offi cial recommen-dation to the City Council.

J.Q. WARNICK, JR. (Retired U.S. Magistrate Judge) is the Chairman of the Redistrict Advisory Committee for the City of Lubbock.

NCLR (National Council of La Raza) is pleased to an-

nounce the release of We Needed the Work: Latino Worker Voices in the New Economy, a collec-tion of personal stories about the experiences of Latino, immigrant, and other workers in the low-wage labor market in the U.S. These fi rsthand accounts offer a glimpse into the conditions that millions of low-wage workers face every day, including exposure to haz-ardous equipment, wage theft, and long hours with no breaks. In con-junction with the report’s release today, NCLR is hosting represen-tatives from the AFL-CIO, the National Employment Law Proj-ect, the National Partnership for Women & Families, and the Cen-ter for Law and Social Policy at NCLR’s Washington headquarters for a panel discussion on policies that would eliminate the pervasive problems found in the low-wage labor market.“The powerful words of these

hardworking Latinos demonstrate the need for urgent reform in the low-wage labor market” said Eric Rodriguez, Vice President of the Offi ce of Research, Advocacy, and Legislation at NCLR. “The

stories of these few individuals illustrate conditions that are ram-pant in the low-wage labor mar-ket and affect millions of work-ers across the country. Our nation must restore basic dignity and re-spect for the millions of American workers who are the foundation of our economy.”NCLR will also announce a new

partnership with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the branch of the U.S. Department of Labor that sets and enforces standards for safe and healthful working conditions. Ac-

Experiences shared about in Low-Wagescording to OSHA, Latinos have the highest rate of fatal workplace injuries. The alliance with OSHA will enable NCLR and its Af-fi liates to raise awareness about OSHA’s rulemaking and enforce-ment initiatives, and to offer out-reach and training opportunities in Latino communities.“Through our alliance with

OSHA, we hope to support NCLR’s community-based Af-fi liates in their efforts to advocate for and empower victims of work-related injuries or illnesses,” said Rodriguez.

COMMENTARY BY SARA INÉS CALDERÓN FOR NEWS TACO

The way it breaks down is this: Republican-dominated state

houses in Texas have not taken up congressional redistricting, now it may be too late, and if a special session needs to be called it’s going to cost big bucks. Imagine, a state that just saw its public education system decimated by $4 billion in cuts, will now have to pay for a spe-cial session so Republican politicos can make sure they get more seats in 2012. Of course what’s at issue here is whether Latinos and other minorities — which accounted for 80% of the growth that garnered Texas four new congressional seats — will have access to fair districts that allow their votes to be equita-bly counted. Judging from the how the state house and senate districts were drawn, Republicans would have done their best to draw the congressional lines so as to prevent this from happening.One Texas legislator wanted to

propose a congressional redistrict-ing plan that he thinks would give minorities equitable representation. Unfortunately, because his spokes-person told us these committees never met, Fort Worth State Rep. Mike Veasey, a Democrat, released his plan just so he could at least get it on the record. Of Veasey’s plan, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram re-ported:In Veasey’s map, thirteen of the

state’s 36 districts would be minor-ity districts, all of which would lean Democrat, along with one in Tra-vis County. The other 22 districts would lean Republican.Veasey said he was using the

“same logic” Republicans used in 2003 redistricting in arguing that 55 percent of the seats should favor Re-publicans because 55 percent of the state voted Republican at the time.But perhaps the part about not get-

ting around to these maps, then us-ing the excuse that the budget was the focus (even when somehow sanctuary cities and abortion took precedence earlier this year) of Re-publican energy, and so forcing the need for an expensive (my sources say multi-million dollar) special session is the worst part. That’s just my opinion.Veasey’s opinion seems to be that

there’s no reason to go to special session — his office told News Taco he thinks it’s possible to equi-tably draw these lines. And Demo-cratic State Rep. Joaquín Castro of San Antonio told News Taco, “Tax payers may have to pay more mon-ey for a special session because Re-publican leadership decided to force through a radical agenda, which does not represent the priorities of Texas families.”We’ll see who moves first.

Hispanics of Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban origin or

descent remain the nation's three largest Hispanic country-of-origin groups, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. However, while the relative position of these three groups has remained unchanged since 2000, the next four Hispanic sub-groups grew faster during the decade. Hispanics of Salvadoran origin, the

fourth largest Hispanic country-of-origin group grew by 152% since 2000. The Dominican population grew by 85%, the Guatemalan pop-ulation by 180% and the Colombian population by 93%. Meanwhile, the Cuban and Puerto Rican popula-tions grow more slowly—44% and 36% respectively.Despite their No. 1 status, Mexi-

cans are not the dominant Hispanic origin group in many of the nation's metropolitan areas. Among the Mi-ami metropolitan area's 1.5 million Hispanics, half are Cuban. In the New York-Northeastern New Jersey metropolitan area, 29.4% of Hispan-ics are of Puerto Rican origin and 19.7% are of Dominican origin. In

the Washington, DC metropolitan area, Salvadorans are the largest group, comprising one-third of the area's Hispanics.However, in many metropolitan

areas, Mexican origin Hispanics are by far the dominant group among Hispanics. In Chicago, nearly eight-in-ten (79.2%) of the area's Hispan-ics are of Mexican origin. In the San Antonio, TX metropolitan area, Mexicans make up 91.3% of all His-panics. And in Atlanta, GA, nearly six-in-ten (58.1%) Hispanics are of Mexican origin.Country of origin is based on self-

described family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions in the Census Bureau's American Community Survey and on the 2010 Census form. It is not necessarily the same as place of birth, nor is it in-dicative of immigrant or citizenship status. For example, a U.S. citizen born in Los Angeles of Mexican immigrant parents or grandpar-ents may (or may not) identify his or her country of origin as Mexico. Likewise, some immigrants born in Mexico may identify another coun-try as their origin depending on the place of birth of their ancestors.

If you are planning to get summer jobs

and have not been hired by now, you might have realized that it’s a little late and the summer job mar-ket is pretty saturated. But, as Og Mandino, author of The Great-est Salesman in the World, said “There is an immeasurable dis-tance between late and too late”. The question is – what can be done before it’s too late?Besides realizing that next year it

is worthwhile to begin looking for summer work in February, there are some jobs out there. Not all hires work out, and not all hiring hap-pens early.So here are some suggestions for

tackling the summer job market:1. Search traditional job boards

as well as Google, using keywords such as summer+jobs.2. Get onto Twitter, search

#summerjobs#Lubbock.3. Look for Specialized job boards

to help with finding summer jobs4. Various government agencies

offer specific job boards: check Workforce Solutions. 5. Traditional job boards such as

working.com have set up specific student searches. 6. The City of Lubbock is a great

source of summer jobs; they hired students to start in April, but still have their website up. It is late, but it is worth to go back and check – a small number of positions were

still available when we posted this blog . Check the City for ongoing hiring — some might be for summer.7. Think of which

employers are busi-est in summer. For example, Lubbock Parks & Recreation department has a hiring page for “rec-reation jobs”. Think of who else is ac-tive in the summer:

companies that deal in promotions and marketing, hotels, restaurants, car rental companies, golf courses and a range of other service sector employers. Google the companies, check out their websites and see if they’re hiring.8. Remember that you can also

create your own business and offer pet sitting, gardening, baby sitting, elder care, house sitting services, for a fee, to friends and family.9. Keep in mind that temp agen-

cies might be ramping up their hir-ing to fill positions of employees away for summer. You’ll find a list of job boards on this blog.10. There are services for youth

to help with jobs — they often know about positions available in the community, and more usefully — might be able to help you ramp up your job search so you can do it yourself.Good luck with your search! There

are jobs out there to be found and created – it just might take a more effort.

working for LISD in 1975, the end of her junior year at Lubbock High School. She worked part

time through the Vocational Office Education. She recognized an op-portunity to gain experience, make money, and help develop her career plans.She began working part-time in Ac-

counts Payable. In May of 1977, af-ter she had already graduated from Lubbock High, she was promoted to Secretary of the Finance Depart-ment."I was excited that I had gotten the

job," she said.Gonzales has been employed by

LISD for 35 years, and would have achieved 36 years in August 2011.She has experienced many changes

- bosses, technology, improvements. During her employment she has had several bosses. She handled the bills for the school district vendors, invoices. While the department and the need for such office has grown, state budget cuts required LISD to make cuts and encourage early re-tirement."One thing that hasn't change is my

commitment for my job," she said adding that she will retire on June 30th.She said that she is looking forward

to the free time, enjoy her two grand kids - Zyden and Skye Reese , as well as her kids Emilia, and John Martin Jr. And most importantly, she will be traveling with her husband John Martin Gonzales.

Gov. Rick Perry sign into law a measure that requires Texans

to show photo identification before voting.The signing marks a victory for Republicans who have been fight-ing for a photo ID requirement for years.Perry declared the bill a legislative emergency early on, creating a leg-islative battleground. Republicans asserted the law is necessary to prevent voter fraud. Democrats say

it'll only boost conservative voter margins by intimidating minori-ties and the poor.The law would require voters to present a valid state or federal pho-to ID. A driver's license, personal ID card, military ID, passport or concealed handgun permit would be accepted.Voters without IDs could cast pro-visional ballots but would have to show identification within six days for their votes to count.

INCOME TAX ACCOUNTING VERSUS FINANCIAL

JAIME D. GARCIA has been the owner of Associated Business services since 1978. He earned a degree from Texas Tech University in Business Administration. He specializes in Accounting and Small Business consulting. Call (806) 744-1984 for more information.

It is important to know the difference between income tax accounting and fi nancial accounting. This may be confusing to some of you, however,

even some loan offi cers in fi nancial institutions are not familiar with the ter-minology or when each should be used. I am going to give you an example using depreciation how it can benefi t the benefi t a business.When you prepare your income tax return, you want to minimize your tax

liability. Therefore, you use the maximum depreciation allowed for assets that fall within any accelerated method. This is income tax accounting.If you are applying for fi nancing, you want to make sure you have a good

net worth , therefore, you use fi nancial accounting when you depreciate your assets. For example, if you acquire equipment that has a life of fi ve years, you would depreciate it over the life of the equipment and not in one year as in the previous example. Consult you fi nancial advisor for additional in-formation.

You are probably sick and tired of hearing about the recession

and the fi nancial in-dustry. As you know, they contributed pri-marily through the bundling and the re-selling of subprime mortgages, which of course began a domino effect of fi -nancial strife, bail-outs, tea partiers with poorly spelled signs, and a new slew of regulations being placed by the government. Out of the regulations put into place,

perhaps one of the most comprehen-sive was the Dodd-Frank Act. The act, written by Senators Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, sought to put restrictions on an industry that was beginning to spiral out of control. For example, credit card companies now have to be transparent on their billing statements, clearly noting the penalties for late payments and removing fi nancial jargon. The law also created Regulation E, which states that you, the customer, must agree in advance before you are al-lowed to overdraw a deposit account with your check card. You can call your bank right now and request yourself ‘opted out,’ which essen-tially means you are limited to the amount of funds accessible on your ATM/Debit card – the banks can’t tag you with overdraft fees.As Dodd-Frank took care of the

average consumer, there were also changes that are still set to affect the banks themselves. One provision of the act mandated that banks reduce their ‘per swipe’ card fees to mer-

chants, meaning that small business owners who would use a card ma-chine would no longer get gouged for their services. The typical charge

to the business for ‘swiping’ a card was averaging 40 cents, but as of July 21st, a new provision takes effect that reduces that fee up to 70%.Great news for the

small business per-son, right?

The truth is that the banks are about to take a hit in their pockets, and they will do everything they can to pass the difference off on the consumer. For example, your bank might start seeing some radical changes. The idea of a ‘free’ checking account can very well be a thing of the past, with more and more banks leaning towards monthly maintenance fees and even an annual fee for debit cards. ATM fees have already sky-rocketed, with $5 fees being tested in certain markets. Any sort of re-wards program that you had before might be shut down to save on costs.So what can you do to prepare

yourself? If you see your institution hiking up their rates, shop around. You are still likely to fi nd something cheaper, especially if you go with a smaller local bank or even a credit union. If you still need your national bank, get smart about ATM usages. Buy a pack of gum at a convenience store and get cash back. No fees for doing this, and it’ll keep your breath minty fresh. These changes are quickly approaching, and like the banking industry changes, we need to change as well to be smart con-sumers and stay in the black.

¡Vive tu Vida! Get up get moving!

BY ANNA-LISA FINGER , MS, RD, LDNFOR LATINO LUBBOCK MAGAZINE

Have you ever won-dered why you can’t

seem to stop eating when you are at a buffet? Or why you have to fi nish a bag of chips even though you just had dinner? You are not alone! While we overeat for many reasons, your en-vironment can infl uence how much you eat, what you eat and whether you enjoy what you are eating. Brian Wansink of Cornell Univer-

sity has been studying how external cues can affect our eating habits. Here is what he discovered:1. People ate more popcorn out of a

larger container than a smaller one. He gave moviegoers who just had dinner either a small bag of stale pop-corn or a large bag of stale popcorn. Despite the fact that the popcorn was stale and people were full, they still ate 34% more popcorn out of the larger bag than the smaller bag. 2. Secretaries ate 100 fewer calo-

ries out of a candy dish when it was placed away from their desk com-

pared to when it was right next to their desk. It also helped when the

bowl was opaque or col-ored so the candy was not directly visible. 3. People thought food

tasted much better when it was served on nice dishes than when served on a pa-per napkin. Food on a nap-kin tasted good, but on a plate it was divine!

4. People, especially men, ate 29% more food when the serving dishes were on the table than when they re-mained in the kitchen. 5. People who were served buffalo

wings ate 28% less if the bones were left on the table compared to if they were taken away.The take-away message is to be

mindful of how you serve and eat your food. Keep food out of reach and out of sight, buy snack foods in smaller serving sizes or pre-pack them into snack size Ziploc bags, and sit at the table with placemats and nice dishware. And if you must have buffalo wings, keep the bones on the table!

Ever wonder why even when you’re getting enough sleep,

some days you have less energy than other days? Certain aspects of your daily life can be the reason behind your low-energy days. Jennifer Scar-amuzzo, M.S., R.D., L.D., an outpa-tient dietitian at the Covenant Life-Style Centre, discusses some simple ways to keep your energy level up all day.• Eat more often. Eat a small bal-anced meal every three to four hours. This will help keep your blood sugar up so you don’t have an energy crash. Each meal should include some pro-tein, carbohydrates and healthy fats.• Drink more water. Staying hydrated is one of the easiest ways to keep you energized and help you stay focused.

Try to drink some wa-ter every couple of hours so you don’t feel thirsty and get tired. • Take a short walk. A 10-minute walk can give you an energy boost that will last for the rest of the day. According to a study presented to the American Heart Association, women who walked briskly for 10 minutes a day experienced an 18 percent increase in their energy levels after six months.• Eat what your kids eat. Pack the same lunch you send with your kids for yourself. Eating potassium and magnesium fi lled foods, like a pea-nut butter sandwich and some fruits or vegetables, at lunch will provide

Covenant Health System Dietitian Gives Tips to Stay Energized Throughout the Day

your body with minerals that aid in producing en-ergy. • Crank up the tunes. A recent study reported em-ployees who listened to music while they worked were 10 percent more

productive. When you feel an energy slump coming on, consider turning on some music to keep you awake and focused. Experiencing an energy crash half-

way through the work day is not an uncommon event. Having a consis-tent sleep schedule, as well as paying attention to your body’s needs and considering some of the above tips, will help keep you energized and fo-cused throughout the work day.

The possibility for severe weather increases during

the spring and summer seasons. Severe thunder-storms have the potential to produce lightning, damaging hail, fl ash fl ooding, and tornados. There are a few simple

steps you can take to protect you and your family during severe weather. During any type of severe weather

event it is important that you stay in-formed about signifi cant changes that may be oc-curring with the weath-er. Local radio and tele-vision stations provide important information during storms. Another useful tool is a NOAA weather radio which will

automatically notify you of severe weather events in your area. A shel-ter should also be identifi ed before a

thunderstorm event and is ideally lo-cated in a basement or storm cellar. If both are unavailable, fi nd an interior room on the lowest fl oor. This summer make it a point to de-

velop a plan in case of severe weather. For Lubbock, this could mean hail, lightning, fl ooding, and tornados. For a step-by-step process on how to be prepared and for more specifi c in-formation on several types of severe weather events, visit www.Ready.gov.

Los hombres de verdad se hacen exámenes médicos

Real men get check-upsNational Men’s Health Week (June 14-20)

In 1920, women lived an average of one year longer than men. To-

day, men die almost six years earlier than women and are more likely to die of heart disease and cancer, ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Control. These troubling statistics haven’t translated into better health care practices for men. A recent sur-vey found that men take better care of their cars than of their own health, according to Men’s Health Network. Eighty-four percent of men said they had had their car serviced in the past year, but only 66 percent had been to the doctor for an annual check-up. Putting off medical visits and ignor-ing symptoms is especially common among Hispanic men who, because of machista attitudes, often view go-

En 1920, las mujeres vivían, en promedio, un año más que los

varones. En la actualidad, los va-rones fallecen casi seis años antes que las mujeres y son más propensos a morir de enfermedades al corazón y cáncer, según los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enferme-dades (CDC, por sus siglas en in-glés). Estas preocupantes estadísti-cas no se han traducido en mejores prácticas de atención de salud para los varones. De acuerdo con Men’s Health Network (Red de la Salud de los Varones), una encuesta reciente reveló que los varones cuidan mejor de sus vehículos que de su propia salud. El 84 por ciento de los varones

dijo haberle hecho mantenimiento a su vehículo en el curso del pasado año, pero sólo el 66 por ciento visitó al médico para someterse a un con-trol anual. Dejar de lado las visitas al médico e ignorar los síntomas es particularmente común entre los his-panos que, con frecuencia y debido a actitudes machistas, perciben las visitas al médico como signos de debilidad. No deje que su hombre (y esto incluye a usted) sufra en si-lencio.

Strokes are one of

the most dis-abling diseases around. Even if one survives a stroke, there are residual medi-cal problems.The most com-

mon stroke is the embolic type. This is caused by a blood clot stop-

ping the flow of the blood to brain and can present in various forms. Unable to talk, weak in arms, numb-ness to face, facial droop, headache, dizzy unable to walk, paralysis. Becoming aware of these symp-

toms in an early form is very im-portant. There are medications that can now help dissolve these clots but a person must get to a stroke cen-ter as soon as possible. There is a small window of time in which the medication can help. The medica-tion must be administered within three hours of symptoms for it to be effective.Risk factors for stroke are hyper-

tension, age, diabetes, obesity. New research indicates there are other risk factors and strokes are affect-ing younger patients. Other risk fac-tors are birth control pills in young women, carbonated beverages and life style.The important thing to remember is

to get to the hospital as soon as pos-

As I was g e t t i n g

dressed for my fi nal school or-chestra concert of the year I had some unpleas-ant fl ashbacks of the "dress". I was putting on my black shoes and then I put on my formal con-cert black dress,

which I dread like any formal con-cert clothing, and I started to cry. No it was not because the dress was oversized and uncomfortable, which it is; it was because I came to real-ize I only had one more year to wear the "dress". As much as I complained about it, I was now crying over it. I came to realize this was not just an oversized and uncomfortable dress, it was a dress that also symbolized

my four years of high school, and how quickly they went by. I had won four sweepstakes with the Coronado orchestra, and played many concerts in this very dress. Now on the day of my fi nal concert of my junior year, it became clear to me that the "dress" is not oversized and uncomfortable at all, but just worn from all the memo-ries it has helped me make. I would like all my fellow teens to stop rush-ing into the last few day we have left in high school and think about all the good times, instead of focusing on the bad. We all have our own teen view of high school, so lets make it a fond memory of the adults we have become and the amazing journey we have had through the high school years. This is this Teen’s View! DESTINY MOLINA is a junior at Corona-do High School. She enjoys writing and play-ing in the orchestra at school and church. She plans to attend TTU.

While it may seem that today’s generation has forgotten the

importance of respect and leader-ship, the young men and women of Cavazos Middle School’s student organizations Champs and Pride prove otherwise. The two programs, offered solely at Cavazos and run by Cavazos teachers, concentrate on community service, leadership tech-niques, and common courtesy and etiquette. “It’s a great way to get involved,

learn about leadership, and stay out of trouble,” said Angel a member of the Champs group for young men, has been involved with the program for two years. The young men in the group ex-

press that the involvement was a mu-tual one, agreed upon by themselves and their teachers. And it’s not just the young men

who are realizing their full potential;

the young ladies involved with the student organization Pride say that their association parallels the boys group. “I don’t want Pride to be remem-

bered as just as group, but as a group that was recognized for its leader-ship," said Tiffany a two year mem-ber. The two groups have done numer-

ous community projects - the boys of Champs have served food to Lub-bock’s homeless population, and raised money to replace gifts that an area family lost in a fi re; and the girls of Pride recently raised money for home items, as well as a check, that they presented to Anthony Vil-lareal, a veteran who was wounded in Afghanistan. The actions and projects that Pride

and Champs have accomplished re-fl ect their core values and respect that the organizations promote. The members agreed that they’re setting an example for their peers, and dem-

Every year, Catholic churches in the Diocese of Lubbock roll out the welcome mat for the com-

munity to their annual jamaicas, the largest fund-raiser for many of the churches.Jamaica, is a Spanish word for

the hibiscus flower. Much like the flower, which blooms in late spring to early fall, over 30 church festivals are held annually April through September. And although there is some uncertainty of how the church festival acquired its name, the purpose is certain. With thousands in attendance, the

church fundraiser greets church families and visitors with tantaliz-ing food, top rate entertainment, and a positive environment and very community style. The diverse crowds with a wide

range of age groups each find their niche and enjoy it all day long.Along the way you will see old

f a m i l y f r iends. Teenag-ers are e nc ou r-a g e d by their mothers to be on their best behavior, because t h e r e will be s o m e -one that k n o w s

them and will report if they don't act appropriately. Small children start off in clean

Sunday best, and slowly peel off their shoes and socks, and walk around with traces of snow cones around their mouth, and one less ribbon in their "chongos" (pony tail).Grammy Award winning bands,

return to the root of their fan base. They explain that events like this encourage the family to come to-gether and enjoy each other’s com-pany, which is important to them, and often reminds them off their own barrio (neighborhood). From planning to implementa-

tion, Jamaica organizers stress a safe and positive environment.A mock jail becomes a fund-rais-

er for the youth groups. The only way to stay out is to donate some change for a specified colored rib-bon, which will warn mock depu-ties that you are off limits.For many generations, families

and individuals have expended and

supported their church festival, held on church grounds in their neighborhood. The Jamaica fea-tures car-nival style and Mexi-can food, g a m e b o o t h s , and horse-shoe and volleyball t o u r n a -ments.Water ac-

tivities are favorable games for many children. Some kids relieve themselves from the heat by volun-teering at the dunking booth.From the Knights of Columbus

groups, to the Guadalupanos, the men’s group usually found in Cath-olic churches with a large Hispanic population, to the Guadalupans, to the altar services, various volun-teers are working and very enthu-siastic to be helping their church community.Car clubs bring out their lowrider

cars, sometimes driving in the fea-tured speaker, and always engag-ing the crowd in the detail to the cars.Motorcycle clubs, now found at

many of the churches also show-case their high dollar bikes, that have allowed them to be used for good causes and as a way to con-nect with other Christians.Additionally, groups will share

information about their programs, and at most churches register vot-ers. The Lubbock Police Depart-ment’s (LPD) shares information about LPD neighborhood services, distribute child ID cards, and en-gage youth with their K-9 Unit.Many children stopped by and

meet the officers. While some prefer the warm

weather, many gather in the church activity halls to enjoy the cake walks, bingo, and a country store. And at the end of the day, families

whom have volunteered for gener-ations, claim their spot for the next year, and begin planning the next Jamaica. For the priest the events are grati-

fying to see a tradition sustained, and a fellowship even to sustain their church, and come together to share culture, food, family, and faith.Overall, for the church the funds

raised will help pay off debts, or allow for expansion and improve-ments, but more importantly, it is about bringing the community to-gether.

The U.S. Navy has named one of its newest ships after Mexican-

American labor organizer Cesar Chavez, offi cials said Wednesday.The decision was an ideal fi t for the

latest in the Lewis and Clark class of ships, which bear the names of legendary pioneers and explorers, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said in a statement."Cesar Chavez inspired young

Americans to do what is right and what is necessary to protect our freedoms and our country," he said. "The Cesar Chavez will sail hun-dreds of thousands of miles and will bring support and assistance to thousands upon thousands of peo-ple. His example will live on in this great ship."In 1962, Chavez founded the Na-

tional Farm Workers Association, which grew into the United Farm Workers. He has been widely hon-

ored for turning the spotlight on the plight of farm workers, help-ing bring them better pay and safer working conditions. Chavez died in 1993. Former President Bill Clinton posthumously presented Chavez with the Medal of Freedom a year later.Chavez was a Navy veteran and

apparently had mixed feelings about the experience. "In 1944 he joined the Navy at the age of 17," his offi cial biography on the United Farm Workers website says. "He served two years and in addition to discrimination, he experienced strict regimentation."Workers at a shipyard in San Di-

ego are building the 689-foot ship, which can carry up to two helicop-ters and will be used to transport ammunition, food, fuel, repair parts and other items.Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California,

Navy names ship after American hero Cesar E. Chavez

praised the Navy's deci-sion, noting that Chavez "worked tire-lessly to pro-mote fair working condi-tions and equal rights for all Americans."As several

family mem-bers of Chavez and Navy offi cials honored the ship at a ceremony in San Diego Wednesday afternoon, several Latinos in California said they were happy to hear the news."He was a man who fought ... for

the welfare of all American work-ers. It will be an enormous recogni-tion, and not to do so would say a lot," Felix Rodriguez said.

Flag Day, is a day for all

Americans to cel-ebrate and show respect for our fl ag, its designers and

makers. Our fl ag is representative of our independence and our unity as a nation.....one nation, under God, in-divisible. Our fl ag has a proud and glorious history. It was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon. Raise the fl ag for our soldiers fi ght-

ing a war for our freedom and for humanity.Flag Day celebrates our nation’s

most visible symbol of liberty, which is a banner to our freedom of speech, press, and worship.As Americans, and as Latino

Americans, we have every right to be proud of our culture, our nation, and our fl ag. Join your neighbors, friends and

family members and raise the fl ag today and every day with pride!

The Museum of TTU is pleased to present the exhibition, We

Are The Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, original paintings by Kadir Nelson, on view June 5 through July 31, 2011, in the Balco-ny Gallery of the Museum, located at 3301 4th Street and Indiana Av-enue, where parking and admission are free.Award-winning artist and author

Kadir Nelson spent seven years researching, writing and creat-ing handsome paintings to be in-cluded in the brilliantly illustrated book, We are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, which is dedicated to the preservation of

the history of the Negro Baseball Leagues. The exhibition is the story of

Negro League baseball the story of gifted athletes and determined owners; of racial discrimination and international sportsmanship; of fortunes won and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field. It is a perfect mirror for the social and political history of black America in the first half of the twentieth century. But most of all, the story of the Negro Leagues is about hun-dreds of unsung heroes who over-came segregation, hatred, terrible conditions, and low pay to do the one thing they loved more than any-

June is Home Safety MonthHave you ever heard that most

car accidents happen within a few blocks of home? As it turns out, many accidents happen before you even leave. Injuries that happen at home account for 21 mil-lion medical visits and close to 20,000 deaths each year, according to the Home Safety Coun-cil’s 2004 State of Home Security in America. Older adults, who tend to spend more time at home, are at even greater risk. The good news is that by taking a few simple precautions, many of

these injuries can be prevented. Don’t stop with physical safety;

mental and emotional well-being are also part of feel-

ing safe. Clear a cluttered area, create a space for yoga or stretching, learn about feng shui, put up a painting or photograph you love. Do one thing

this month that will make you a little happier at home.

Getting acquainted with your neighbors can also bring peace of mind. Knowing someone is looking out for you can greatly reduce stress and anxiety.

Junio es Mes de la seguridad en el hogar¿Alguna vez ha escuchado que

la mayor parte de los acci-dentes automovilísticos suceden a pocas cuadras del hogar? Tal como sucede, muchos accidentes ocurren incluso antes de salir del hogar. Las lesiones que ocurren en el hogar dan cuenta de 21 millones de personas y de cerca de 20 mil muertes cada año, según el 2004 State of Home Se-curity in America del Home Safety Council. Los adultos mayores, que tienden

a pasar la mayor parte del tiempo en el hogar, están expuestos incluso a mayores riesgos. La buena nueva es que al tomar algunas precauciones

sencillas, se pueden evitar muchas de estas lesiones. No se detenga solamente en la se-

guridad física; el bienestar mental y emocional también forma parte del hecho de sentirse seguro. Despeje un área desordenada, disponga de un espacio para practicar yoga o estira-mientos, aprenda sobre Feng Shui, o cuelgue una pintura o fotografía que le guste. Este mes haga algo en el hogar que lo ponga un poco más feliz. Familiarizarse con sus vecinos también puede brindarle tranquili-dad.

Pete's Barrio MemoirM y D a d , m i a p a

I remember my Dad

as a mellow man who was smart even though he had no education he had a lot of common sense. He was a religious man who

could not read a bible, but his faith never let him yearn for learning the word of the Lord. He was a hard worker that would do any kind of work to provide for his Familia. He was stern and believed in dis-cipline. He was an understanding man that would counsel us when we got in trouble. My Dad would talk and tell us stories about how he got to Lubbock. His Father was a migrant trucker that would bring people from San Antonio to Lub-bock for las piscas, and they would work here till the weather got cold and then they would go back to San Antonio. One of those times he met my mother and they got married and he never left again. My Dad eventu-ally started to work for Bill Moore's Company. He was an operator for a ditching machine that would dig ditches from one foot to ten feet

deep. He dug a lot of the water lines that are along Slide Road from 34th to 50th. He also did some of the water lines at what used to be Re-ese AFB.(40-50 years later I was in charge of the Water Dept. at Reese and many days I could visualize working side by side with my Dad) He never let us forget how impor-tant our Catholic Faith was to us. He made sure that we practiced our faith and lived it. It was hard but he did leave us the understanding of our Faith. He was always ready to help us out as were growing up. I can remember getting into trouble and Dad was right there ready to help out. Once we worked things out it was time to be disciplined. I learned how to respect authority from him. After being disciplined he would talk to me and then may-be he would say let's go fishing or something like that. As I grew up and became a father myself I tried to instill the same principles on my two sons. My Dad left us on Octo-ber 12, 1995. To all you sons out there cherish your father while you still have him around.Editor's Note: Pete Pina grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memories and the stories of barrio Guadalupe.

Q: Why are Latinos always late? I am Latina and I'm always on time. Abby Normal

A: Dear Abby, Apparently, you were born without the gene that produces the Latino Anti-Time Enzyme (L.A.T.E.), which a vast majority of Latinos possess. This gene makes Latinos believe that ev-ery destination is only 15 minutes away. This makes us late to work, school, family gatherings, and various appointments. For work, we find that most companies give you up to 10 minutes after your scheduled time before they count you as tardy. So let’s do the math: If you must report to work at 8, but you have until 8:10 before they are counted late, then you have no reason to leave home before 7:55 keeping in mind that it only takes 15 minutes to get everywhere! Now honestly we still will not get there until 8:20 because of “traffic” but when you take a hard look at the entire staff you will notice in your non-Latino coworkers (who always clock in on time) will not begin to work until around 8:30 since they have to make themselves a cup of coffee, read the headlines, discuss the headlines, and then get their work stations “situated." Now what about comidas and other get-togethers? I can’t tell you how many Thanksgiving dinners we have had where the bread, forks, soft drinks, or gravy was 2-3 hours late. The solution here is to break up the responsibilities. One person takes everyone’s money and buys all the stuff. That person delivers it to the place of the event and now you don’t have to eat the mashed potatoes with dessert. Trade off the designated position for every get together because if I had to be the one to do this every time...Psssh, I would probably be on every major news channel: “Chicano snaps at grandma’s birthday dinner!”Editor's Note: Adrian Romero addresses reader questions with semi-comedic responses.

“Passion, Life, Faith, Love... Pass it On.”Pope John Paull II

POR ROSARIO SMITH

Mi papa era, como deciamos yo y mi

hermana, “de mas an-tes”. Para el una de la cosa mas importantes era que respetaramos a los mayores que no-sotros. Cuando venia visita, teniamos que salu-darles de mano a los señores y las señoras. Si mi mama y papa sabian que ibamos a tener visita, siempre compraban pan mexicano o galletitas – no para nosotros sino que para la visita. El trabajo de mi y mi hermana era poner una cafetera fresca de café a lo menos media hora despues de saludarles. Despues les traibamos una tasa de café y “pan-esito”. Si el dia estaba muy caliente,

en esos dias no teniamos aire acondicionado, les traib-

amos agua fresca de la llelera. El costumbre era que les traibamos el vaso de agua y nos para-bamos al lado con los brazos cruzados hasta

que acababan de tomar la agua. Habia veces que

se ponian a platicar y se les olvidaba que alli estabamos

paradas con los brazos cruzados. Estabamos en ancias para ir a jubar con los demas. Por fin se tomaban toda la agua y nos podiamos retirar. Ahora, que cosa que hagan todo

esto. A veces miro a mis sobrinos y sobrinas que les train agua mis her-manos o hermanas a ellos en lugar de al otro lado. Como cambian las cosas, ¿no?

En Aquellos Dias….


The temperatures are rising not

only here but also all over the lone star state. From the Mavericks in Dal-las to the Rangers in Arlington, the sports scene is picking up

steam so we all better pay attention before we miss anything. One thing I had not paid attention to until recently was the best kept secret in Lubbock that goes by the name the West Texas Roller Dollz. These ladies put it all on the line each month at the civic center as they revive the sport of roller derby with a couple of different twists. The biggest surprise I learned of is that these ladies do what they do for free, while contributing their proceeds each month to a different charity. Be-fore anyone starts to get the idea that their sport is easy, imagine seeing a graceful gazelle running when all of a sudden an aggressive opponent takes them down with considerable force. Skating on a concrete fl oor with pads and protection sounds pretty safe but let me tell you no amount of padding can absorb the hits and punishment they take every match. They come from all walks of life, dentist assis-tants, students, every day profession-als that contribute all they can for a worthwhile charity or cause that they hold dear. The next time we will be able to see them in action is against the Alamo City Roller Girlz on the 25th of this month. Just like any other sport, home fi eld advantage is very crucial, so on behalf of the team I would like to invite you to the match and be ready to be impressed. Imag-ine being a charity that needs help, when these ladies sponsor their next match to help you specifi cally. Make a Wish indeed. We wish Christina Prieto Johnson and her team the best

of luck for the remainder of the sea-son and sincerely hope they can stay injury free. One team that has been affected by the injury bug continues to be the Texas Rangers this season judging by their record. Hamilton has returned in a limited role for now, mainly DH, but it looks like the team will receive an instant jolt with him and right fi elder Nelson Cruz back in the batting order. Barring any un-foreseen injury, they should be able to keep on an even keel especially with three games against the Indians on the 2nd to the 5th and with their arch rivals Yankees in the middle of the month. June will go a long way in determining if last year was a fantasy season or if they have really belong in the pennant chase again this year. Here in the next few days we will witness the 2011 NBA Finals and if everything goes the way it should, the Mavericks have a golden opportunity

Q: Do I top the golf balls because I don't keep my head down?

A: Keeping your head down has been one of the biggest golf myths around for years. To properly rotate

on your back swing and down swing the head will move. If your head stays in a fi xed position you create a lateral move on your down swing which will cause a bad slice or a block to the right. Keys to remember when you top the golf ball it is because you

raise your body up and out of the shot and not because your picking up your head. Always keep your eyes on the ball not your head. Editor's Note: Jimmy Saenz started

playing golf at 15-years-old. His uncle Gilbert Guzman gave him a four iron to play, which he did for two years. He has been in the golf industry for 16 years, and has been a Class A teaching instructor for 14 years. He is working to become a Mas-ter Professional tentatively in December.Saenz became head pro and general

manager for Stonegate Golf Course in the winter of 2010. He will be providing golf advice for new golfers and game improve-ment advice in Latino Lubbock Magazine.

to win their fi rst championship. I am writing this article a week before the results between them and the Thunder are known, but I can tell you that in my strong opinion, Dirk Nowitzki is playing with a skill and passion not seen from a NBA player since the names of Jordan, Magic, Kobe and Byrd were uttered many moons ago. The MVP for this year has not been named but I can tell you the media is ready to crown Lebron or Dwayne Wade and maybe even Derrick Rose from the Bulls, but if they were totally honest, Dirk would win in a landslide. I predict the Mavs in 6 and I really hope that didn’t jinx them. Make a wish indeed because June is already here. Happy Fathers Day.

ven en que El nos da cada día y cada oportunidad para ser santo en El y por El. Los Apóstoles como hoy en día los sacerdotes nos dirigen en una vida de gracia para ser y seguir en una vida con Jesús. Que hermoso en ser Católico Cristiano en El porque vemos que somos uno en El y si no

PoemFor the Father Who Isn't

Author AnonymousI’m here again. By the open window. The leaves have turned orange and you still haven’t come. Where are you? Just let me know. I don’t want to wait any longer. You tell my momma your coming, but you haven’t come. Again with the same story. You’re busy, making money and paying bills. They won’t let you take off to come see me? It’s okay if you’re busy with my other brother and sister, I just want to see and spend time with you. I rather know the truth, so don’t just wait. I’m on the urge of giving up. I don’t know if you know how much I really need you in my life. You have me missing out on the thing I need most besides my mother’s love. I just need an answer. What’s the real reason you haven’t come…? Do I not mean as much to you as my other siblings? Is it because you can’t stand to have another child? Is it my mom?I’m here now, but not for long. I’m growing up. I won’t need you any longer. Then you won’t be able to make up for lost time. But most importantly I then won’t care. It will be too late! Again, I’m going to wait. But don’t think it’s going to be for long. Because I won’t be by the window. I’ll be off in college and making great things happen in my life. And all my success will go towards momma be-cause again…she was the one always wait-ing with me.

Meet Pico the bilingual gallo (rooster). He loves school, he likes to read, play outside and discover ways to have fun and make friends. Now it is time for Pico to prepare for summer. He will be joining the Healthy Kid's Club at CHCL, and will follow the

5-2-1-0 , attend Critterfest, and go to many camps and kid activities! Hope you will join him!

Congrats on a great School Year!

It’s summer, a time for kids to re-lax, visit friends, enjoy the great

outdoors, and dive into an excit-ing, new book. Chances are many children will not read, and research shows children lose one to three months of learning every summer. Prevent this summer learning loss by getting your children excited about reading. Although summer is a time they can

relax, reading can also help them un-wind. Visit the library. If your child

doesn’t have a library card, sum-mer is a great time to sign up. Take

Summer t ime read ing , a mus t fo r La t i no ch i l d ren

advantage of the free, child-friendly summer reading programs. When planning summer activities

with children, remember to leave some time in their schedules for reading. Some convenient times may be before bedtime or over breakfast. Use books to break the boredom.Without the regular school regimen,

adults and kids need more activities to fi ll the hours. So read aloud, and be a storyteller, tell them about your familia and growing up. Combine summer activities with

books, and let them know that read-ing is an important part of your life.
