Miles de indocumentados se veránafectados con respecto a una nuevaley llamada AB 60 que ha estado enla mesa del Senado, ya por variosaños y esta semana finalmente díofruto, cuando algunos de los congresistaslograron la palabra del gobernador JerryBrown para hacerla ley después de15 años de lucha.

La ley AB 60, conocida tambiéncomo el Acta del Conductor Seguroy Responsable, propuesta a principiosde año, por el Asambleísta Luis Alejodel Distrito 30 de California entregaríalicencias de conducir a inmigrantesindocumentados, factor que según elproyecto ayudaría a reducir elnúmero de accidentes en las calles ycarreteras debido que las personasestarían cuidadosamente informadossobre las reglas automovilísticasestatales, aseguró Alejo.

“Un día histórico para California”proclamó Luis Alejo para algunosmedios de comunicación, ya que lapropuesta AB 60 según el legisladorva ayudar a millones de inmigrantesindocumentados, les permitirá el privilegioa manejar en las carreteras como unapersona que tiene documentos.

De acuerdo con el Departamento deMotores y Vehículos (DMV por sussiglas en inglés), los conductores queno cuentan con licencia válida sontres veces más probables de causarun accidente fatal en comparacióncon los conductores con licencia

válida. El DMV calcula quealrededor de dos millones de conduc-tores transitan todos los días por lascalles y carreteras de California sinlicencia de conducir válida.

La oficina del Gobernador de Cali-fornia, Jerry Brown publicó en Twit-ter, que esta medida permitirá amillones de personas transportarsesegura y legalmente a sus hogares.Este proyecto va a ser un mensajepara Washington, esperando que lareforma migratoria ya no sea unasunto que aún esta pendiente.

“Me parece una excelente idea,que va a favorecer a las personasque no tienen documentos en estepaís, todos tenemos el derecho amanejar y me alegra mucho que seeste implementando esta ley en Cali-fornia. Cuando escuche eso meacordé de mi mama, ella no tienedocumentos... pero ella sabe manejar,en México ella manejaba. Pienso queva a ser más fácil para todos nosotros,ir a la escuela” Declaró Para LaPrensa San Diego Ángela Garcíaestudiante Oceanside Unified SchoolDistrict.

Las licencias ‘marcadas’ como loscriticos las llaman serán un pocodiferentes de las tradicionales ya queespecificarán en la parte de atrás queno se pueden usar para propósitosgubernamentales, solo para elprivilegio de manejar, el cuál quedaráespecificado con la sigla P queaparecera en lugar de la letra L, enlas licencias ordinarias, la letra P

señalara las licencias por privilegio.No todos están de acuerdo con la

ley AB 60. Muchos de los grupos quedefienden los derechos de losinmigrantes indocumentados mostraronsu descontento con esta nueva medida, ya que esto significaría que lasautoridades policiacas podríanarrestar a una persona por no tenerun documento de identidad válido oaceptable.

“La ley AB 60 causa más dañode lo que ayuda a nuestra comunidad,la gente no lo ve pero a largo plazo,puede causar muchos problemas paralos inmigrantes indocumentados”Declaró Alessandro Negrete,Coordinador Statewide de la Alianzapor la Justicia de los JóvenesInmigrantes de California (CIYJA).

Asegura también Negrete para LaPrensa San Diego que la policíapodría reportar a la gente que

detengan con inmigración ya que lalicencia (clase P) no es una forma deidentificación bajo la ley, solo va aservir para poder manejar pero nocomo un documento federal.

“Nosotros estamos más conec-tados con lo que esta pasando, y comola ley esta escrita, esta licenciamostrara el estatus migratorio, dejandoa discreción de los policias quedetenga a la persona indocumentada,el reportarla con las autoridadespertinentes, por esta razón, consideroque la ley AB 60 no tiene suficientesgarantias para nuestra comunidadlatina” afirmó, Alessandro Negrete.

De acuerdo con los activistas, nadapreviene que tal marca pueda incluirlas palabras ‘inmigrante indo-cumentado’ al frente de la licencia opeor que este documento cree másrechazo a la comunidad latina en losestados unidos.

Although Hortenssia Zatarain hasalways been a baking and cooking en-thusiast, she never thought she wouldturn her hobby into a full-blown busi-ness. However, after losing her jobin human resources in 2011, she hadplenty of time to experiment, and con-solidate her love for baking deliciouscupcakes for her family and friends.

“I began watching different cup-cake shows on TV and thought I coulddo that, too,” Zatarain said. “I startedbaking for my husband and sending himto work with different cupcakes Imade, and they had really positive re-views. That positive feedback I re-ceived resulted in an online businessthat I started that went fairly well.”

Almost two years later, in May,2013, she felt secure enough of hercupcake-baking abilities that, with thesupport of her husband Juan and anarmy of friends and family, sheopened Love Cupcake Café, an arti-san cupcake parlor, in the Otay Rancharea, in eastern Chula Vista.

On September 26, the store willcelebrate its 65,000th cupcake sold,thanks to the overwhelming popular-ity Zatarain’s cupcakes have received

Activistas protestaron alfrente de la Jefatura dePolicía de EscondidoPor Juliana Rico

Un grupo de estudiantes y activis-tas se reunieron el pasado viernes alas tres de la tard, para protestar alfrente de la jefatura de Policía enEscondido, ubicada en la dirección1163 North Center City Pkwy. Larazón de la reunión fue para mani-festar su descontento con las auto-ridades locales, sobre su violación alacta de confianza con las deporta-ciones.

Este proyecto de ley estatal dealguna manera nació para combatira Comunidades Seguras y evitar ladeportación de inmigrantes indocu-mentados de California, que no hayancometido delitos graves no obstante,las cifras de deportaciones del ICEllega hasta 1,024 indocumentadosdiarios, en lo que va del año fiscal2013, es decir 42 por cada hora, unocada 1.6 minutos.

“Es muy triste que todavía sigandeportando gente que no ha cometidoningún delito, esto ya se convirtioenun problema para nuestra comunidadlatina, la gente ya tiene miedo dellamar a la Policía,” afirmó BillMates estudiante de periodismo, SanDiego State University.

Durante la manifestación algunosde los compañeros, como se llamanentre ellos, hablaron sobre las proble-máticas que la policía de Escondidoha generado a las comunidadeslatinas y el miedo que ha creado porsu colaboración con Inmigración yHomeland Security.

“El departamento de Policía deEscondido tiene dos agentes deInmigración del ICE trabajando paraellos, ya nuestras comunidades noestán seguras,” declaró para LaPrensa, Edna Monroy, CoordinadoraRegional del Sur de California de laAlianza por la Justicia de los JóvenesInmigrantes de California (CIYJA).

Asegura también la joven, que hanhabido casos en California de de-portaciones sin ningún antecedentecriminal , una simple inspecciónrutinaria podr ía ocas ionar unadeportación. “La razón de queestamos acá reunidos miembrosde diferentes organizaciones, espara recordarle a las autoridadespolicíacas de Escondido, que todosestamos juntos para la aprobacióndel Acto de Confianza y pedirle alJefe de la Policía de Escondido CraigCarter, qué salga públicamente yapoye el Acto de Confianza paranuestras comunidades”

¿Qué es el Acto de Confianza(Trust Act)?

El Acta de Confianza o AB4 esuna propuesta de ley bajo la miranacional, que obstacularía las deporta-ciones de inmigrantes indocumen-tados que no han cometido delitosgraves.

It might be your abuelitofrom Jalisco’s worst nightmare:His beautiful, traditional mari-achi sounds butchered by abunch of heavy metal guys.

Or might be your stoneryounger brother’s torture: Hisfavorite hardcore heavy metalsongs played to the old-schoolrhythm of the guitarrón and thetrompeta.

Either way, Metalachi, theworld’s first and only heavymetal mariachi band, takes thebest—or worst—from twoworlds and create an unlikelymeshing of metal classics fromartist such as Metallica, Slayer,Ozzy Osbourne and more withtraditional mariachi standardsfrom the likes of VicenteFernandez and Mariachi Vargasde Tecalitlan, all played with tra-ditional mariachi instrumenta-tion.

Metalachi is a musical/com-edy stage show that somehowseamlessly blends the world ofSpinal Tap and Cheech &Chong into an over-the-topstage spectacle. Metalachi willbring their world renownedstage show to The Casbah inSan Diego on Friday Septem-ber 20th.

The band features Vega DeLa Rockha on vocals, Maxi-milian “Dirty” Sanchez on vio-lin, Poncho Rockafeller onguitarron, Ramon Holiday onguitar, El Cucuy on trumpetand is managed by mysteriousimpresario Warren Moscow.

Metalachi: Hated by mariachis, hated by metalheadsLa Prensa San Diego

talked to the five mariachi-trained brothers from Holly-wood (via Juarez!), to learnmore about their outrageousshow, which is considered oneof the best live shows in South-ern California by Examiner.com.

LP: With all due respect:Can Metalachi’s music betaken seriously?

Metalachi: No music shouldbe taken seriously. Music shouldbe enjoyed... not dissected, ana-lyzed and critiqued. If you wantto look at it from the standpointthat our lead singer can singcircles around around most ofthe vocalist that we cover andthat Metalachi is comprised of,literally, some of the best musi-cians on the planet...then yes,you should take us very, veryseriously.

LP: How would you de-scribe heavy metal mariachi?

Metalachi: I know it soundscliche but you really have toexperience the show in orderto wrap your head around whatMetalachi is. It isn’t just themusic; our show is an entireexperience that you really haveto see first hand to understand.We constantly get commentsfrom fans who have seen someof the biggest musical acts inthe world live tell us that ourshow is one of the best liveshows they have ever seen.

LP: What do purists sayabout your mezcla?

Metalachi: We are hated

by many in the Mariachi com-munity. We are hated by manypeople in the Metal community.The beautiful thing is for ev-ery hater we have there arethousands who think what wedo is the most ingenious thingthey have ever seen or heard.If we are pissing people off,we know we are doing some-thing right.

LP: Is all the experimenta-tion on purpose, and with whatpurpose?

Metalachi: We like to ex-periment with everything notjust music. Like drugs, sex andtacos. We get bored easily sowe experiment to keep thingsloco.

LP: Have you ever beencompared to Mexico’s Mod-eratto? I mean, in the crazy

outfits, larger-than-life perso-nas...

Metalachi: We are not fa-miliar with Moderatto but weare down with anyone who hasthe balls to do something dif-ferent and say to hell with thestatus quo.

LP: Who is the ideal Meta-lachi fan and listener?

Metalachi: Anyone whohas two ears, a beating heartand a soul. The genius thingabout Metalchi is this. You don’thave to like Mariachi. You don’tlike to like Heavy Metal. If youcan’t have fun at a Metalachishow then you are dead on theinside. Period. From the stagethe most rewarding thing is see-ing someone in the audiencewho has never listened toHeavy Metal a day in their life

scream at the top of their lungsto our version of Slayer’s Rain-ing Blood or seeing a hardcoreMetal Head that wouldn’t becaught dead listening to Mari-achi throwing devil horns upwhen when bust Vicente Fer-nandez’s Volver Volver. It istruely a beautiful thing.

LP: What’s the best drinkto get drunk with while listen-ing to Metalachi?

Metalachi: One part te-quila, one part Jack Daniels...asqueeze of confusion with justa dash of intrigue. Pour overice and strain out your inhibi-tions. Enjoy.

LP: Anything you’d like toadd?

Metalachi: Absolutely not,math was ever our strong point;that is why we are musicians.

Joe Ruffo and his wife Lolliehad opened the La Bamba Barright after the war, just as thecanerias were starting to hireeverybody in Logan Heights toclean and pack fish. Canner-ies like Sun Harbor, Vankampsand Chicken of the Sea wouldeven hire mothers and abue-litas to clean fish and pay thempiece mill. The money wasn’tgreat but at least it was a job.

The last couple of years,since they opened La BambaBar, things had gone very wellfor Joe and Lollie Ruffo; thebar had become a popularplace with the cannery work-ers, Longshoremen and theneighborhood. In fact thingswere going so good, that theywere getting anxious for 1951to be over, as they had justsigned a lease for another baron the corner of 38th and Na-tional Avenue alongsideWoody’s Liquor store. Theywere going to call it the “10-20Club” and they planned to openit January of 1952.

The idea for the 10-20 clubswas to make it a western joint,where the Anglos, who livedin Shelltown and National City,could go get a beer and listento some down home “HillbillyMusic.” Joe and Lollie Rufforealized that catering to whatpeople wanted could makemoney. Their neighbor “TexasRed Rodgers “had convincedthem that a western bar, play-ing Hillbilly music couldn’t berun by Mexicans, but a bar witha front manager like him-self…could work. Thus theidea of the 10-20 was born, thename came from the idea thatthey would be so successfulthat all the cash register would

have would be 10s and 20s; noone dollar bills.

Their lawyer, Mr. Adamshad advised them not to putTexas Red Rodgers on thenew license for the 10-20, asWilliam J. Buonanota, Boardof Equalization did not like deal-ing with people who didn’tknow the “right people” andthis could complicate the ap-proval. In the City of San Di-ego, approval for a liquor li-cense meant three things. First,the Vice Lieutenant of the SanDiego Police Department hasto give his okay. Second, thebeat cops, which in the caseof Logan Heights would besecond generation Mexican-American policeman ManuelJones, Jr. and his partner,Johnnie Walker one of threeblack police officers on theforce, would also have to con-sent. This was ensure that thelicense holder would not be ashitbird and cause trouble foreverybody.

Finally, William J. Buona-nota, State Board of Equaliza-tion, would only deal with cer-tain lawyers in town, for rea-sons known only to him. LouieAdams, Joe and Lollie Ruffo’slawyer had gone to USC withWilliam Buonanota back in‘39. Joe Ruffo had knownManuelito Jones and his fam-ily back in Loreto, Baja Cali-fornia. In fact the Ruffo’s, theJones’, the Verdugo’s, theSmiths and several other fami-lies all migrated together toCalexico, then Lemon Groveand finally ended up in Lo-gan Heights in 1920. The“cachanilla families” stayedconnected to each other, forgood and bad. Joe Ruffo hadseen Manuel Jones Jr., affec-tionately known to his relatives

and friends as “Dukie,” growup to be a fine young man, hav-ing played football at San Di-ego High, distinguished himselfwhile serving in Korea andnow a policemen serving thesame neighborhood that hisfather Manuelito Jones, Sr. hadtwenty years earlier.

Dukie Jones and JohnnieWalker had no problem withJoe and Lollie Ruffo getting thelicense for the 10-20 club, al-though they didn’t especiallycare for Texas Red Rodgers.They had had problems withTexas Red, getting his slow-witted cousin, Melvin “Chow-der” Birch into bar fights, withold Filipino men about half hissize.

Chowder Birch weighed 290and stood, six feet five inches.The last time Chowder Birchbeat up some old man, he madethe mistake of doing it in thepresence of an ex-fighter,George Stampanoulos, whotook offense and damn nearkilled Chowder and Texas Red.

Manuel Jones Jr. and hispartner Johnnie Walker likedthe way Joe and Lollie Rufforan the La Bamba bar and theyhad already told Vice Lieuten-ant Ledford that they approvedthe new license for the 10-20under one condition, that theykeep an eye on Texas RedRodgers. Keeping an eye onTexas Red at the 10-20 wouldalso give them a reason, to jackup, a couple of tough Okiebrothers, Clyde and LucasBaker, who were running ajunkyard and chop shop onMain street, between San Di-ego and National City. TheBakers joined the Navy duringWorld War 2 and they justnever went back to their home-town of Gotebo, Oklahoma.

Since the war, they had beenin a lot of trouble. They wereknown to hang around withTexas Red Rodgers and hiscousin Chowder. They hatedeverything about Shelltown,especially the neighbors, butthey never moved away.

The families that had mi-grated together from Loretoand Comondu, Baja Californiato San Diego in 1920, like theSmiths, Ruffo, Collins, Mesas,Bareño all had some connec-tion to each other prior to wind-ing up in Logan Heights. Someby blood, some by marriage,some by compadrismo or oth-ers by convenience. They alsoall had relatives spread throu-ghout Baja California in placeslike Mexicali, Tecate, Ense-nada and Tijuana and a fewreturned to Loreto. They af-fectionately referred to them-selves as “cachanillas”meaning a person native toBaja California.

The cachanilla families

La Bamba on Dewey and Logan

learned two valuable lessonson their journey from Loretoto San Diego; one was thatfamily was everything and two,that sticking together, was al-ways best. La Bamba Bar wasalso a place, where friends,relatives and parientes fromTijuas, could come to get thelatest word on work, who wasfighting with whom, who wasin the “bote” and what com-padre, was about to get histicket punched for being a littletoo friendly with his comadre.

Joe and Lollie Ruffo bothhad come from big familiesfrom Baja. Joe Ruffo, howeverwasn’t as close to his familyas he used to be because of adispute with his cousins oversome property in Ensenada.Lollie on the other hand was aMeza Smith. The Meza Smithfamily was one of the largestfamilies with many relatives onboth sides of the border. Shehad made an effort through theyears, to try and stay in touch

with as many parientes aspossible. She was especiallyproud of her cousin EmanuelRomero Smith, who had beena journalist in Tijuana for manyyears, then in 1947, he startedhis newspapers called “LaVerdad,” which turned out tobe one of the most read news-papers in Tijuana. He had alsodeveloped an agreement withthe San Diego Union, to reportfor them about Mexico.

Emanuel Romero Smith haddistinguished himself for hiswork, in promoting the idea ofstatehood for Baja California.He had hoped to be elected tothe first local legislature by the“Partido Pro-Estado,” but hewas not selected for the slate.He knew, that the influyentesdid not want him around be-cause he kept asking the wrongquestions and challenging themto do better by the coloniaspopulares.

La herencia hispana secelebra desde que en 1968, elpresidente Lyndon B. Johnsondeclaró una semana en sep-tiembre como la Semana Na-cional de la Herencia Hispana.La celebración se extendió en1988 a un mes entero, del 15de septiembre al 15 de octubre.Así que vamos a celebrar.

¡Vamos a celebrar nuestromes! ¡Vamos a celebrar nuestraherencia!

Vamos a celebrar la alegríaque nos caracteriza comopueblo. Vamos a celebrar a losmillones de trabajadores inmi-grantes honestos y capaces quedía a día contribuyen a laprosperidad y el desarrollo deeste país y a todos aquellos quea través de su arte, su oficio osu sonrisa, hacen que sea cadavez mejor.

¡Vamos a celebrar nuestrahispanidad! Vamos a celebrarque somos la minoría más

Este es un momento crucialpara nuestra comunidad quecontinúa luchando por la apro-bación de una reforma mi-gratoria justa, equitativa ycomprensiva que saque de lassombras a los miles de in-migrantes indocumentados quetambién, día a día, aportan alcrecimiento de este país.

Hemos dado mucos pasoscerteros, pero el camino seextiende, por eso el llamado esademás a la reflexión. ¿Quéestamos haciendo por lograrese objetivo común? ¿Quéestamos haciendo por quenuestro entorno sea cada vezmejor? ¿Estamos trabajandopor el bienestar de nuestracomunidad? ¿Rendimos honora nuestra hispanidad connuestros actos cotidianos?Solo usted tiene las respuestas,por ahora, esta es nuestra fi-esta. ¡Vamos a celebrar!

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness MonthOvarian cancer accounts

for about 3% of cancers amongwomen, but it causes moredeaths than any other cancerof the female reproductive sys-tem.

This is according to theAmerican Cancer Society,which recommends that afterage 20 all women get cancer-related check-ups as part ofgeneral health visits. PlannedParenthood offers well-woman exams that include abreast exam, cervical cancerscreening, mammogram refer-ral, Pap smear, and urinarytract infection (UTI) testingand treatment.

In May, Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Joliemade headlines by announcingshe had had a double mastec-tomy three months prior due toa DNA blood test that revealedshe was at high risk of devel-oping breast and ovarian can-cers. Jolie’s mother, Mar-cheline Bertrand, lost herbattle to ovarian cancer in2007 at the age of 56.

Thanks to the AffordableCare Act’s preventive healthbenefits, more women haveaccess to routine well-womanexams and cervical cancerscreenings without co-pays orother out-of-pocket expenses.

More than 21,000 womenare diagnosed with ovarian can-cer each year in the U.S. — itis the eighth most commonlydiagnosed cancer in women inthe U.S. Anyone with a cervixand ovaries (including trans-gender individuals) can developcervical and ovarian cancer, soPlanned Parenthood encour-ages anyone at risk to seekexams from a trusted provider.Planned Parenthood believeseveryone has the right to

nonjudgmental, high-qualitycare.

Although ovarian cancer isdifficult to detect during rou-tine GYN exams, it is recom-mended that women see theirhealth care providers regularly.The earlier ovarian cancer isdetected and treated, the better. Know your risk factors,including a family history ofovarian or breast cancer.

There is good news for thosewho are on birth control pills.Birth control pills that containthe hormones estrogen andprogestin reduce the risk ofovarian cancer greatly. Stud-ies show that the longer awoman takes the pill, the lesslikely she is to develop ovarian

cancer. Using the pill for 5 to10 years can protect a womanfrom ovarian cancer for up to20 years after she has stoppedusing it.

Women should also beaware of the possible symp-toms of ovarian cancer. Thesesymptoms include bloating, pel-vic or abdominal pain or pres-sure, difficulty eating or feel-ing full quickly, or having tourinate often or urgently. Thesesymptoms can also be due toother medical problems, so youshould talk to a health care pro-vider when these symptomsare a change from what is nor-mal for you and if you starthaving them every day for sev-eral weeks.

will continue to provide the qual-ity cupcakes that people expectfrom us and carry on our cre-ativity through different flavors.I want to keep people guessingwhat I will create next.”

Love Cupcake Café’s suc-cess story is part of a growingtrend that has turned cupcakesfrom mom’s favorite bakingitem to a celebrity. With realityshows revolving around cup-cakes, such as Cupcake Warsand DC Cupcakes, “people justfell into the cupcake craze,”according to Zatarain.

“I think that people wantvariety for their party guests,and cupcakes allow for differ-ent flavors to be offered in-stead of only buying one cake,”she said.

Love Cupcake Café is lo-cated in the Eastlake/OtayRanch area of Chula Vista,which has seen an increase inthe Latino population, espe-cially people originally fromTijuana, just like Zatarain.

No wonder she has manyLatino-inspired cupcakes onthe menu.

“I’m very proud of myMexican heritage, and I amaccustomed to using Hispanic

spices, so I use those same in-fluences in my baking,” shesaid. “Many people don’t knowthat Mexico produces one ofthe finest vanilla beans in theworld. I only use Mexican va-nilla in all my baking.”

Among the other cupcakeswith a Latino flavor are the tra-ditional tresleches; chocolateand red velvet tresleches;choco-flan cupcake, which isa vanilla or chocolate cupcakewith a traditional flan filling; anda Mexican vanilla bean cup-cake.

Also, the shop also carriesMexican-influenced drinks likeChocolate de Mexico, which isa chocolate milk with Mexicanchocolate, and an horchatadrink that is a traditional Mexi-can rice water drink withespresso.

With so many deliciouschoices, it is common to find alot of loyal costumers who visitLove Cupcake Café on aregular basis.

Ana Valenzuela, for ex-ample, said she likes to buycupcakes for her coworkers.Her favorite flavor is cookiesand cream, and thinks that thesize and the frostings are per-fect.

“They are delicious andmoist,” Valenzuela said. “I seehow much joy Hortenssia takesin making her cupcakes.”

Another fan is Ana Liceaga,

who lives near the café andvisits it almost on a regular ba-sis with her family.

“I think the most unique as-pect of this establishment is thesheer uniqueness of it,” saidLiceaga, who added that herfavorite flavors are black bot-tom, s’mores, and salted cara-mel. “I know of very few cup-cake places this good, let alonein the Eastlake area.”

Six months after openingLove Cupcake Café, Zatarainis proud of the success her cup-cakes have achieved. Althoughshe never imagined herselfmaking a living with her bak-ing, she said it’s been a won-derful dream come true.

“I never thought that cup-cakes would be a career forme,” she said. “Baking hasbecome a great love of mine,and that reflects in my baking.Its one of the reasons I namedthe cupcake shop ‘Love.’”

Located at 2110 Birch Road,#105 in Chula Vista, Love Cup-cake Café is open seven daysa week on Monday throughSaturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 8p.m.

By Steve Rodriguez

Readers following our states’ education de-bate are familiar with the usual list of suspectsemployed to explain the quality (or lackthereof) of California public schools. Most ar-ticles attempt to correlate school quality withmuch discussed factors as classroom size,standardized test scores, teacher experience/training, classroom discipline, charter schools,teacher salaries, student access to technology,etc. Educational experts, politicians, and dil-ettantes alike have long relied on these fac-tors to make their respective points.

However, I am struck by the absence ofpublic discussion regarding one major move-ment currently guiding the daily regimen ofmany teachers. I contend the concept of“teacher collaboration” needs to be made partof the educational debate for California resi-dents to fully comprehend our schools’ po-tential for generating greater teacher effective-ness.

Many schools in San Diego County haveimplemented the concept of ProfessionalLearning Communities (PLC), an approachrequiring teachers to work together in teamsto determine the best course of action for theircommon grade level or subject classrooms.For example, during the school year a PLCteam of 9th grade English teachers will workcollaboratively on a unit-to-unit basis to de-sign a common pacing schedule of lesson ac-tivities, a list of common texts to be taught, aswell as common assessments. These teachersthen meet weekly to discuss the effectivenessof these common unit components, payingspecial attention to student data produced bythe assessments, primarily to determine sig-nificant trends in student understanding of les-son objectives. Based on this data, effectivePLC’s discover which students get it and whichdon’t (and why), then figure out ways to re-teach struggling students, or the parts of a les-son that proved ineffective. Along the way,teachers also share best practices and refinelesson plans for future use.

Such collaboration is impossible withoutteachers working off the same common pac-ing guides, texts, and assessments. This com-mon ground is necessary for professional dis-cussions to be relevant for each PLC mem-ber, though the arrival at this common groundoften requires compromise and a surrender-ing of some independence on the part of eachteacher. Fortunately, a school’s adoption ofthe PLC approach is a healthy recognition byparticipating teachers that classroom learningis complex and cannot be addressed strictlyon an individual teacher basis.

Professional Learning Communitiesand the Education Debate

There are indeed considerations that canlimit the effectiveness of PLC teams. First, notall teachers are willing/able to work on a col-laborative basis with their colleagues. Suchcollaboration is viewed as a threat to their own“creativity” and “independence.” They seekto remain teacher lone wolves. Second, aschool’s PLC program is largely dependenton the leadership of a school’s principal, whocan establish clear expectations for collabo-ration, sell the PLC concept to wary teach-ers, and artfully mediate disputes betweenteam members. Third, teachers volunteeringfor PLC team leader assignments need to bemore than just classroom teachers of stu-dents—they must be willing leaders of fellowprofessionals, capable of cajoling, coordinat-ing, caring and exercising initiative beyond theirown classrooms. Finally, there’s the issue oftime. Schools usually provide PLC teams witha mere 1 to 1-1/2 hours a week (courtesy ofone shortened classroom day in the week) toconduct collaborative work/ discussions. Ex-tra collaboration time must be found before/after school—but only when coaching duties,parent meetings, essay grading, or student tu-toring is not occurring.

Students stand the most to gain from teachercollaboration. Ideally, all teachers becomemore effective from shared data analysis, les-son planning, and discussion/adoption of bestpractices. Teacher discussion—driven by dataanalysis—focuses on targeting struggling stu-dents for intervention. And if a PLC is trulyeffective, parents no longer resort to teachershopping for each teacher gains access to thesame instructional strategies, materials, andlesson activity ideas. Under such circum-stances, teacher quality should maintain anupward tick from year to year.

Accordingly, as a new school year begins, Irecommend California residents henceforthdevelop an expectation of seeing the PLC ap-proach discussed in education- related newsarticles as a possible factor for school/teachereffectiveness. Let’s start to see if there is anycorrelation between student progress and ef-fective school PLC programs. San DiegoCounty parents should start asking “To whatextent does my child’s school utilize the PLCapproach?” And as a corollary, let’s assumethe absence of such discussion indicates a se-rious lack of contemporary educational-relatedknowledge on the part of the individuals orgroups making the latest claim about ourschools’ progress (or lack thereof).

By Marisa TreviñoLATINALISTA

You might have noticed theheadline this past week abouthow the White House wascelebrating Hispanic Heri-

tage Month with a concert featuring acarefully selected group of Latino art-ists – Lila Downs (Mexico), GloriaEstefan (Cuba), Ricky Martin (PuertoRico), Alejandro Sanz (Spain), to namea few – to emphasize the diversity withinthe Latino community.

Yet, in light of the racist response gen-erated by the crowning of the first MissAmerica of Indian descent, it seems tome that we should use Hispanic HeritageMonth as a time of better outreach toeducate non-Latinos about this nation’sdiversity – starting with Latinos.

When the story broke that Twitter be-came aflame with racist tweets aboutNina Davuluri, it immediately broughtback memories of a similar incident onlya few months ago.

By Reverend Luis Cortes, Jr.President, Esperanza

Merriam Webster’s dictionary definesthe word “heritage” as the traditions,achievements, and beliefs that are partof the history of a group or nation. Heri-tage also means the inheritance each gen-eration receives from those who camebefore. Think about it: It’s an expansive,meaningful, all-encompassing word! Itholds many centuries of journeys takenby millions of people.

What does “heritage” mean for us asHispanics? As we begin Hispanic Heri-tage Month this week, we have much tobe grateful for and proud of. The passion-ate spirit, big dreams and hard work ofour ancestors have given us a strong cul-tural foundation to build on. We have in-herited a rich and vibrant culture. Ourmusic, arts, language, food, family val-ues – they are all expressions of ourunique cultural soul as it has shaped andformed over many years.

We are also diverse – with roots andinfluences fromAfrica, Europe, Asia, andthe indigenous people of the Americas.When we begin to unravel the distinctidentities of Latinos from differentcountries of origin, the word “heritage”becomes truly remarkable – it containsmultitudes, and the whole of human ex-perience.

But “heritage” isn’t just about lookingback at our history. The work of buildingour communities is far from complete.Our children, and the generations ahead

In that case, it wasn’t a 24-year-oldbeauty queen being forced to make senseof ignorant racism but a 10-year-oldmariachi singer named Sebastian Cruz.

Both have elegantly risen above the in-sulting tirades and have put to shamethose lost souls — but chances are it willhappen again.

It will continue to happen if we let me-dia personalities go unchallenged whenthey incite hate with their racist com-mentary. It will happen again as long aswe leave unchallenged trolls and the ig-norant who insist on tweeting their preju-dices without regard to who they hurt.

It will happen again as long as we letpoliticians claim outrageous lies as truthwhen talking about people of color justto score political points – and we don’tchallenge them.

We should celebrate our contributions,our achievements and our future but wealso have to celebrate our present andmake sure that message gets deliveredas clearly as racist tweets.

of us, will inherit what we produce forthem, just as we inherited from our fa-thers, mothers, grandfathers, and grand-mothers.

As Hispanics, we must take control ofour future, and forge our own path. Wemust lead, toward a pan-ethnic future thatis our hope for a greater America. Wemust take responsibility for our own edu-cation. We must support and guide eachother, so our culture continues to flour-ish with new layers of experience andachievement. As we grow into our posi-tion as largest and fastest-growing mi-nority group in the United States, wemust expect to take on a new role inAmerican society. We can’t allow our-selves to be held back by the educationaland economic limitations we have his-torically faced; instead, we must createopportunities to for our community toexcel.

In the faith community, the word “heri-tage” has one more facet of meaning.During the 2013 Hispanic HeritageMonth, I urge you to consider what thisterm means in the context of your faith.The gospel in Colossians tells us thatwhatever we do, we should “work heart-ily, as for the Lord and not for men,knowing that from the Lord you will re-ceive the inheritance as your reward.” Weknow that our heritage comes from thefaithfulness of God and His people overthe generations. May we see this His-panic Heritage Month as a challenge tocontinue faithfully building the inherit-ance for future Latinos in America.

House GOP Slow Walks ImmigrationReform, Instead Releases VideoCelebrating Hispanic Heritage MonthHow About a Vote Instead of a Video?

AMERICA’S VOICE

No words can describe just who exactly theHouse GOP thinks it’s fooling by releasing thisnew video celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month(one has to look no further than the viewercomments to see that we are not alone).

The video begins by featuring House GOPleaders including House Speaker John Boehner(R-OH), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA),and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),before going on to speaking parts from Reps.

Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Bill Flores (R-TX), and RaulLabrador (R-ID), a couple in Spanish, all of-fering vague platitudes about the contributionsof Hispanics.

The video is perhaps the latest effort to sat-isfy this year’s Republican National Commit-tee (RNC) directive to make the Party friend-lier to immigrants, Latinos, and minorities. Butapparently, Republican leaders didn’t read thepart that says they have to actually “embraceand champion comprehensive immigration re-form,” not just smile for the camera. In fact,some of the people featured in the video aredirectly responsible for the fact that Congresshas yet to pass immigration reform despite astrong bipartisan showing in the Senate.

Yes, Diaz-Balart and Ros-Lehtinen are im-migration reform supporters who are in favorof a path to citizenship. And Raul Labrador was

part of the House Group of 8 on immigrationbefore he left, citing irreconcilable differencesin June. But Boehner, Cantor, and McCarthy?Hardly the best ambassadors for the GOP tothe Latino community. There are alreadyenough votes in the House to pass immigrationreform with a path to citizenship–if it weren’tfor the “Hastert Excuse” that Boehner and hisbuddies are clinging onto.

The Latino community is closely followingand readily engaged on the immigration issue.During rehearsals for the postponed WhiteHouse “Musica Latina” event yesterday, sev-eral performers spoke to Spanish languagemedia about their commitment to reform andthe importance of the issue for the broaderHispanic community. As Alejandro Sanz,Grammy Award winning Spanish singer andsongwriter, told EFE (as translated by America’sVoice), “I know many people’s stories, their

immigration, how they got to this country, andhow hard it is to get papers so they can livehere. Reform is urgent and necessary… ifthere’s still undocumented people [who havebeen] living in this country for many years, it’sthat we still haven’t done enough.” GloriaEstefan, Lila Downs, and other Latino celebri-ties scheduled to perform also spoke up clearlyand powerfully in favor of reform. With Span-ish media covering the issue on a daily basis,House Republicans have to realize that they’rein the spotlight and either need to rise to theoccasion or face a backlash from voters in 2014and beyond.

According to Frank Sharry, Executive Direc-tor of America’s Voice, “Instead of a videocelebrating Hispanic Heritage month, howabout a vote? Speaker Boehner and Houseleadership just don’t get it.


¡ASK A MEXICAN!

Commentary/Opinion Page

By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: Can I “Ask aMexican” why El Tri sucks so much?And why a little stadium in Columbus,Ohio was louder and more passionatethan Estadio Azteca in Mexico City,which seats over 100,000? Can I alsoask why a country that lives andbreathes soccer/fútbol always freaksout in Crew Stadium against my belovedU.S.? HAHAHAHAHAHA I want tohear this one. Oh, and please don’t giveme an economic reason, because El Trigets treated better in Mexico than anyorganization in that country.

Member of Uncle Chava’s ArmyDear Wab: You’re not going to get any

apologias from me on this one. I’ve longmaintained that the current squad for El Triis overrated and full of themselves, thatChicharito isn’t the second coming of HugoSanchez or even Cuauhtemoc Blanco butjust an overrated fresa, and that their since-deposed coach Jose Manuel “Chepo” de laTorre was a disaster (quick aside: didustedes see the mock poll asking peoplewhether Chepo had harmed Mexico morethan notorious narco lord Joaquín “ElChapo” Guzmán? God bless our gallowshumor!). I do find it funny that the UnitedStates can only secure a fan base for itssoccer squad’s games in podunk towns, thatU.S. Soccer rarely stages matches anymorein major cities lest its fan base getoverwhelmed by the opposing side’sfollowers, whether said opposing side isMexico, Poland, or Iran. What are you soafraid of, cabrones? Let the U.S. playMexico in the Los Angeles Coliseum—Mexico needs more humiliation, especially inAztlán, to get its soccer act together and ifthat means not qualifying for the World Cupfor the first time since 1990, then I’m for it.Oh, and you’re mistaken that El Tri is thebest-treated organization in Mexico. Thatwould be Televisa, Carlos Slim, and thePRI, which are pretty much one and thesame cartel.

Oye mi amor: I’m not a big musiclistener, but why do rockeros HATE

Maná and call themsellouts andclichéd? They fillarenas around theworld, arehumanitarians, andtheir music isreaching a newgeneration, while their belovedMolotov, Café Tacuba, etc., can’t sellout small venues. Is it because thosefans themselves sold out and hang outin trendy cafes in Polanco, Los Feliz,Silver Lake and other hipster hangouts?Isn’t music supposed to be enjoyed?Not a hater, pero me vale madre cuandoestoy clavado en un bar.

Latino-lite for lifeDear Wab: I answered the opposite of

this question—a rockero who wonderedwhy so many Mexicans love the soft-rocktitans—so let me darle the question thisweek to Josh Kun, a professor at theUniversity of Southern California, author ofthe excellent book Songs in the Key of LosAngeles, and a pioneer in covering rock enespañol back when it was good. “Part ofenjoying music is hating the music you don’tenjoy, right?” the good profe writes. “For arockero, hating Maná is not really a choice.It’s a pre-requisite. Maná are rockerokryptonite, the ultimate rockero foil. Thesell-out scenario doesn’t really work withthem because Maná never really hadunderground status. They’ve long beencologne-doused fresa favorites, inoffensiverock for upturned Polo collars, rock thatdidn’t shake any foundations or transformany genres or piss anyone off or get anyonearrested. So when they get all the Grammynods for being rock reps, the tried-and-truechavos banda get their outsider valuesreaffirmed—it’s like vanilla winning the bestchocolate prize, over and over again. Plus,they (still!) sound like The Outfield and whowants that as a soundtrack for desmadre?”

Good job, profe! I wish I could guaranteethis is the last time we’ll discuss Maná in thiscolumna, but that’s as likely as El Triwinning the World Cup—sigh...

Sergio GarciaNEW AMERICA MEDIA

Editor's Note: Sergio Garcia, the 36-year-old Chico man whose struggle to practicelaw was the subject of a California Su-preme Court hearing earlier this month,inspired a last-minute bill that passed lastweek in the state legislature. An undocu-mented immigrant who has wanted to be alawyer since the age of 10, Garcia writesthat the legislation represents the realiza-tion of his American dream.

I must have been no older than 10 years oldwhen I dreamt of one day becoming an attor-ney. That dream has brought me great satis-faction, but also considerable heartache. Atthat innocent age I was exposed to the hor-rors of injustice. I saw innocent people beinglocked up and kept in jail because they wereunable to buy their freedom. Justice shouldnever depend on one's ability to pay for it. Itshould apply equally to all.

People say it doesn't cost anything to dreamand I am glad it doesn't because otherwise Iwould have never been able to afford such abig dream. In 1987 I lived in Mexico with mymother and four younger siblings. Many timeswe didn't even have enough money to eat,much less for clothes or shoes. I recall oftengoing to school hungry and embarrassed bymy old torn shoes. With all of this poverty youwould think I was an unhappy child, but Iwasn't. Money isn't everything in this worldand you don’t miss what you have never had.

It’s hard to believe that 26 years have goneby since the birth of my dream. I no longerstruggle for food or shoes. I have grown, butso have my problems. With a great deal ofhard work and sacrifice, not only from me butfrom all of those around me, I managed torealize my dream and finish my education asan attorney. Sadly, given my lack of status Ihave been prevented from taking the last steptowards the achievement of my dream.

Allow me to explain. My father, who is nowa U.S. citizen, applied to have my status ad-justed, for me to have a green card. This was19 years ago and I still don't have one.

Not having a green card has opened aPandora's box for me. I have had to fight formy right to be able to one day fight for others.On Sept. 4, 2013, I reached the highest court

in the state of California -- perhaps somethingthat to most would seem a lofty goal in theirlaw careers, but not to me, since I was thereto fight my own case. And given the limitedamount of time provided by the court, I wasnot even able to say a word. I allowed thegrown-ups to do the arguing for me: privatecounsel, the California State Bar attorney andthe attorney for our very own state AttorneyGeneral.

They fought with courage. However, a fightcan only be won if the opposition is open toengage. Here, the court appeared impotentagainst a federal law that, based on their re-action, they feel ties their hands and preventsthem from allowing me to fulfill my dream andissue me a law license. Even though I was dis-couraged by their response, I did not take itas a total defeat. I took it as an opportunity tohelp them help me. As soon as I left the court-house, I reached out to some of my friends inthe California legislature. I knew that passinga law that would free the court's hands to grantme a license was my last hope to fulfill mydream -- short of taking my fight to the U.S.Supreme Court.

Luckily, my friends had been paying atten-tion to my plight and were quick to step in, indefense of the American dream. Assem-blymember Luis Alejo (D-Salinas) was quickto assemble the troops and encourage themto pass a favorable law quickly.

Soon all members of the Latino LegislativeCaucus had heeded the call to action and hadpicked Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez(D-San Diego) to lead the effort. I was ec-static at their quick response. It made me feellike someone shared my passion for justice.Those who lead by action and not mere wordshave always been my heroes and it was re-freshing to find so many like-minded peopleall at once.

Once Gonzalez introduced AB 1024 -- thebill that could potentially open the door to mydream, and that of many others -- my excite-ment increased exponentially. With less than aweek left in this year's legislative session, themeasure was written, debated and passed bythe state legislature. The bill is now headed tothe governor’s desk.

Nothing that is truly worthwhile comes with-out effort or sacrifice, but I am out to provethat the American dream is still out there forthe taking.

Por Sergio GarciaNEW AMERICA MEDIA

Aun no tenía ni once años cuando soñé enun día convertirme en abogado. Ese sueño meha traído mucha satisfacción pero también meha causado dolor. A esa edad, la edad de lainocencia, presencie los horrores que causa lainjusticia. Mire gente inocente siendoencarcelada que no tenia los recursos paracomprar su libertad. Al ver esa injusticia yopensaba que la justicia nunca debería dependerde la habilidad de la persona para comprar lajusticia, se debería de aplicar igualmente atodos.

La gente a menudo dice que soñar no cuestanada y me alegra que así sea, de lo contrarionunca hubiera podido soñar tan alto. En 1987yo vivía en México con mi madre y mis 4hermanos menores. Muchas veces no teníamosdinero ni para comer, mucho menos para ropao zapatos nuevos. Recuerdo que muchas vecesfui a la escuela con hambre, con hambre y penapor mis zapatos rotos y viejos. Con toda estapobreza pensarían que tuve una infancia muytriste pero no es así, pronto entendí que el dinerono lo es todo en este mundo y que el dinero nocompra la felicidad.

Es difícil creer que ya han pasado 26 añosdesde que nació mi sueño. Ya no sufre porcomida ni zapatos, he crecido aunque misproblemas también lo han hecho. Con muchotrabajo y sacrificio no solo mío sino de todoslos que me rodean he logrado realizar mi sueñoy terminar mi educación como abogado.Lamentablemente, dado mi falta de estatus le-gal en este país se me ha negado la oportunidadde tomar el último paso hacia mi sueño.Permítame explicar, mi padre es un ciudadanonorteamericano y el aplico para que yo puedatener mi residencia legal en este país, tristementedespués de 19 años aun no he recibido mi tarjetaverde.

No tener esa simple tarjeta verde me hacausado muchísimos problemas, he tenido quepelear por mi derecho para poder defender alos demás. Apenas la semana pasada, el 4 deSeptiembre del 2013 logre llegar a la corte másalta del estado de California. Para muchos llegarahí seria una gran victoria en sus carreras perono para mí. Yo solo estaba ahí para pelear mipropio caso pero dado la falta de tiempo nopude decir ni una palabra. Deje que los adultos

argumentaran mi caso, mi abogado, el abogadode la barra estatal de California he inclusive elabogado de nuestra fiscal general merepresentaron.

Ellos pelearon valientemente, lamen-tablemente uno solo puede ganar una peleacuando la oposición está dispuesta a pelear. Eneste caso la corte pareció impotente ante la leyfederal, basado en su reacción creo que la cortese siente de manos atadas e incapaz deayudarme a realizar mi sueño y darme milicencia. Aunque me desilusionó la reacción dela corte no lo tome como una pérdida total. Almenos ahora sé lo que necesitan y les voy aayudar para que ellos puedan realizar mi sueño.En cuanto salí de la corte me comunique conmis amistades en la Asamblea y el Senado deCalifornia. Sabía que si los convencía de pasaruna ley que desatara las manos de la corte ellospodrían darme mi licencia.

Era mi última esperanza y no iba a escatimaresfuerzo para hacer mi sueño realidad,especialmente porque no tengo ganas de pelearen la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos.

Afortunadamente mis amistades en laAsamblea y el Senado habían seguido de cercami caso y estaban listos para defender mi sueñoamericano. Con el primero que me comuniquefue con el Asambleísta Luis Alejo ya que él mehabía apoyado muchísimo en el pasado. Elpronto organizo a los demás y los motivo paraque pasaran una ley a mi favor. Pronto todoslos miembros del comité legislativo hispano sele habían unido y habían escogido a laAsambleísta Lorena González para encabezarel esfuerzo. Yo estaba súper contento con surespuesta tan rápida, me hizo sentir que habíamas gente como yo, con mucha pasión por lajusticia. Líderes de acción y no solo de palabra.Ese tipo de líder es el que ha sido siempre mihéroe y me encanto encontrar tanta gente conla misma mentalidad junta.

Pronto introdujeron la ley AB 1024, una leyque puede abrirme la puerta a mi sueño y el demuchos otros jóvenes en mi misma situación.El estrés y la emoción crecieron expo-nencialmente. En esta vida nada que valga lapena es fácil ni llega sin arduo trabajo ysacrificio. No obstante yo estoy dispuesto atrabajar tan duro como sea necesario yarriesgarlo todo con tal de nuevamente darlevida al sueño americano.

Defendiendo el Sueño Americano

AMERICA’S VOICE

Ninguna palabra puede describir a quiénexactamente, la Cámara Baja republicana, estáengañando al divulgar este nuevo video en quese celebra el mes de la Herencia Hispana (unono tiene más que poner atención a loscomentarios del espectador para ver que noestamos solos).

El video empieza con los líderes de la CámaraBaja republicana, como su presidente JohnBoehner (R-OH), el líder de la mayoría EricCantor (R-VA) y el coordinador de la bancadamayoritaria, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), antesde pasar a las partes en las que hablan losrepresentantes Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL),Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Bill Flores (R-TX)y Raúl Labrador (R-ID), un par en español,todos ofreciendo vagos clichés sobre lasaportaciones de los hispanos.

El video es quizá el último esfuerzo parasatisfacer la directriz de este año del ComitéNacional Republicano (RNC), para convertiral partido en más amigable hacia losinmigrantes, latinos y minorías. Peroaparentemente, los líderes republicanos noleyeron la parte que dice que ellos tienen que“abrazar y apoyar la reforma migratoria inte-gral”, no sólo sonreír a la cámara. De hecho,algunas de las personas que aparecen en elvideo son directamente responsables de que elCongreso aún tenga que aprobar la reformamigratoria a pesar del fuerte bipartidismomostrado en el Senado.

Sí, Díaz-Balart y Ros-Lehtinen son seguidoresde la reforma migratoria que están en favor deuna vía a la ciudadanía. Y Raúl Labrador fueparte del grupo de los 8 de la Cámara, sobre lainmigración, antes que se saliera, argumentandodiferencias irre-conciliables en junio. ¿PeroBoehner, Cantor y McCarthy? Difícilmente sonlos mejores embajadores del Partido Republicanopara la comunidad latina. Ya hay suficientesvotos en la Cámara Baja para aprobar la reformamigratoria con una vía a la ciudadanía, si no fuerapor la “Excusa Hastert” a la que Boehner y suscuates se aferran.

La comunidad latina está siguiendo muy decerca y está involucrada en el tema migratorio.Durante los ensayos para “Música Latina”, elevento pospuesto de la Casa Blanca, algunosparticipantes hablaron a los medios en español

sobre su compromiso con la reforma y laimportancia del tema para la amplia comunidadhispana. Alejandro Sanz, cantante y composi-tor en español ganador de premio Grammy, dijoa EFE: “Conozco la historia de mucha gente,su migración, cómo llegaron a este país, y cuándifícil es obtener sus papeles para que puedanvivir aquí. La reforma es urgente y necesaria…si aún hay gente indocumentada viviendo eneste país por muchos años, es porque no hemoshecho lo suficiente”. Gloria Estefan, Lila Downsy otras celebridades latinas programadas paraparticipar también hablaron claro y fuerte enfavor de la reforma. Con la cobertura de losmedios en español diariamente, los republicanosde la Cámara Baja se tienen que dar cuentaque se encuentran en el centro de la atención ynecesitan o estar a la altura de la situación oenfrentar un revés de los votantes en 2014 ymás allá.

Según Frank Sharry, director ejecutivo deAmerica’s Voice, “en lugar de un video decelebración del mes de la Herencia Hispana,¿qué tal un voto? Boehner y el liderazgo de laCámara no se dan cuenta. Al no abordar eltema más importante para la comunidad latina,él está básicamente dejando nuestro sistemamigratorio en manos del representante SteveKing (R-IA), un antiinmigrante fanfarrón quecompara a los inmigrantes con animales, afirmaque la mayoría de los DREAMers sonnarcotraficantes con ‘pantorrillas del tamañode melones’ y piensa que los miembros de losque se identifican como grupos étnicos es genteque ‘siente lástima de sí misma’. Steve Kinges el único tipo cuyas preferencias políticas eninmigración han sido votadas por la CámaraBaja, cuando Boehner permitió un voto sobrela enmienda King de junio para deportar a losDREAMers y a otros. Cuando veamos queBoehner programa un voto sobre una reformareal que incluya una vía a la ciudadanía para 11millones de personas que aspiran a serestadounidenses y que actualmente viven eneste país, asumiremos que Steve King mantienelas cartas de la postura de la Cámara Bajarepublicana en inmigración”.

In Defense of the American Dream La Cámara Baja republicana retrasa la reforma migratoria, y en sulugar divulga un video de celebración del Mes de la Herencia Hispana

¿Qué tal un voto en lugar de un video?

By Mark Schwarz

Time was when the annual“Oreja de Oro” (Golden Ear)corrida was reason for smuganticipation. 6 of the tem-porada’s most successful mata-dors competed against eachother for the benefit of theirassociation’s fund to help lessfortunate professionals weathertough times. One chance, onebull; spirited competition—ifnothing else—was almost guar-anteed. Current iterations, how-ever, have more in commonwith the All-Star games of ma-jor sports—stars politely refuse(can’t risk losing contracts) andhas beens, never weres ornever will bes are called to fillthe holes. Whether any moneygets to the association is a haz-ardous bet. None the less, a tra-dition worth reviving—but notlike this.

The bulls of Carranco wereapparently taken from thesame cloth as the human con-tingent; one true bull (the fifth,assigned—probably not by co-incidence—to the Spanishtorero Aguilar) and 5 adoles-cents. Even allowing for thebeneficial nature of the event,these animals left a lot to bedesired in every way. Moreperfect examples of taurinecritic Horacio Reiba’s “des-toro” or “post-toro Mexicano”would be hard to find.

Alfredo Rios, “El Conde”,who did enjoy a good perfor-mance on July 14, offered alighter version with a cute littleanimal that resembled a Disneytoro; a couple of high-schooljuniors in a Ferdinand suit. Ahappy performance that endedwith a happy estocada and ahappy ear awarded. Cottoncandy for the bull set.

Recently reappeared “torerode arte” Jeronimo offered in-teresting work with the capoteto a difficult animal, and re-vealed himself to be more thana pretty face with the muleta.His hard nosed efforts gar-nered a well deserved ear af-ter a serious, if merely service-able, sword thrust. Ignacio Garibay—one of themany infatuations of the Mexi-can aficion of the 90s—re-

prised some of the “greatesthits” of his once vaunted tal-ent, but errant work with thesword precluded the possibil-ity of any awards.

Alejandro Amaya, Tijuana’stalented whipping boy torero,offered the best work of theday—by a considerable margin.Excellent muletazos—espe-cially on the left side, fully en-gaged the young, but brave,animal, who followed and re-turned with gusto and determi-nation. Although the animaltired almost as quickly as therest of the maddeningly weak-kneed encierro, Amaya’s skill-ful technique managed to makethe most of what the brave“Pueblo Amigo” offered. Un-fortunately, his well deservedear served only as a new op-portunity for the locals to chas-tise his billionaire father, theenigmatic Jorge Hank Rhon,using Alejandro as a proxy.While it is probably the case thatthe Hank fortune and connec-tions opened doors for Ale-jandro as a young matador, it isequally true that Amaya’s con-siderable potential has been un-justly limited by that same pa-ternal connection and privi-lege—an unfortunate irony.

Sergio Aguilar, the Spaniard,was once one of the mother

country’s brightest young novi-lleros—apprentice matadors.Inopportune accidents, poormanagement, flawed perfor-mances at crucial times and incrucial plazas, have left Aguilaras another member of “elmonton”—the mountain ofpromising aspirants that havefallen by the wayside. His pen-ance has been 4 or 5 yearlycorridas duras--dates withlarge, intransigent bulls fromranches renowned and re-quested by a certain masochis-tic sector of the Spanish tau-rine public, in inconsequentialpueblos…or Madrid. He is ca-pable of excellent work, and inTijuana we saw details of thatcapacity, especially in an open-ing series of veronicas thatguided the bull from the fenceto the middle of the ring withmarvelous cadence and feeling.That promising start was broughtback to earth as his bull—likethe rest—took one pic andfizzled like a punctured balloon.

Several years removed fromhis days as boyishly handsome“carne de toro”, Arturo Ma-cias is Mexico’s most convinc-ing re-incarnation of the eter-nal Eloy Cavazos, the beloved“Pequeno Gigante” of the 60s,70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s… Return-ing to Tijuana after his three ear

triumph in the manufactured“mano-a-mano” with Amaya onAugust 11, Macias wasted notime connecting with his newfans, and his place as the junior,and therefore, final, torero toperform, gave him an almostguaranteed triumph…which, tohis credit, he did not squander.Although he is capable of moreserious, profound toreo (he’sbeen an apt pupil under the tu-telage of his new manager, thealmost great Fermin Espinosa,“Armillita”), he—like Cava-zos—is acutely sensitive to themood of a given crowd andALWAYS out to please it, first.

The inoffensive “Esmeralda”lasted no longer than his broth-ers, and was less convincing inthe final act. Nothing at all forMacias, who hopped, skipped,knelt and mugged—combiningjust enough toreo to placate ringjudge Carazo, to easily cut twoears from the swooning public.Matador’s Association presi-dent Antonio Urrutia (likeMacias, a native of ubertau-rine Aguascalientes) presentedthe “coveted” golden ear, andthe afternoon came to a blissfulclose. Bull watchers are nowholding their breath as they waitfor the new date of Spanishmaster, “El Juli’s” make-update…bulls in October?

Emanuel Romero Smith hadreceived word from his cousinLollie Ruffo, that Manuel JonesJr. “el Dukie” wanted to talkto him about a very urgentmatter and that he needed tocome to La Bamba Bar assoon as possible.
