Students at the most iconic highereducation institution in the South Baywill begin Fall semester next weekwith brand-new multipurpose facili-ties, including a new artificial turffield.

When classes start on Monday,Aug. 18th, Southwestern College, inChula Vista, will boast new, state-of-the-art four-story Fieldhouse/Class-room building housing four class-rooms, a 150-seat lecture hall, studentfitness center, faculty offices, andspacious locker rooms for the col-lege’s athletic teams.

The $25 million project is part ofProposition R, the $389 million gen-eral obligation bond approved by vot-ers in November, 2008. Prop. R isbeing used for construction, recon-struction and modernization of facili-ties on the Chula Vista campus andat the Higher Education Centers inNational City, Otay Mesa and SanYsidro.

This Friday, August 15th, the col-lege will host a grand opening cer-emony at 3:30 p.m., where the com-munity will celebrate the new facili-ties.

“The Fieldhouse and Classroombuilding is an open invitation to ourcommunity to watch our student ath-letes in action, attend a lecture or en-roll in a class,” said Superintendent/President Dr. Melinda Nish.

For Dionicio Monarrez, a healthprofessor and football coach at South-western College, the new facilitieswill become the pride of the college.

“It’s going to be one of those elitefacilities in the state,” Monarrez said.“It will be a model for many schools.”

Monarrez said the new field willattract more student athletes toSouthwestern, making the collegemore competitive in sports.

“It’s going to help with recruiting

new talents,” said Monarrez, who hasbeen at the college for 13 years.

He added that the new facilitieswill not only benefit SouthwesternCollege students, but the communityat-large.

“It’s an exciting time for South-western College, it’s a great time forthe community,” he said. “Hopefullythe entire community will use the fa-cilities, for concerts, for tournaments,for community events.”

The stadium renovation and Field-house/Classroom building is one of$114 million in projects either beingcompleted this summer or in the pipe-line.

A new 3-megawatt solar pro-ject—the largest single project in SanDiego Gas & Electric’s servicearea—currently being installed in fiveparking lots on the Chula Vista cam-pus will be completed in the next sev-eral weeks. A new two-story build-ing with science labs and a medicalclinic will begin construction at theHigher Education Center in NationalCity next spring.

Of interest to many communitymembers are the plans for the va-cant corner lot. A new multi-storywellness center with competition andtherapy pools is expected to beginconstruction next spring as well. Theproject will allow the college to de-molish the current gym and pool andbuild a new multi-story math, scienceand engineering building in its place.

The Fall semester starts August18th at Southwestern College. Pros-pect students and community mem-bers who would like to enroll, can visitwww.swccd.edu or any of its cam-puses from National City to OtayMesa.

Established in 1961, SouthwesternCollege is the only public institutionof higher education in southern SanDiego County, serving approximately400,000 residents.

El proyecto de $25 millones esparte de la Propuesta R, una medidaaprobada por los votantes en noviem-bre del 2008 que está siendo usadapara construir, reconstruir y moderni-zar instalaciones en el campus deChula Vista y en sus satélites en Na-tional City, San Ysidro y Otay Mesa.

Este viernes, 15 de agosto, elcolegio tendrá una ceremonia deapertura a las 3:30 p.m., donde lacomunidad celebrará las nuevasinstalaciones.

the fact that, at its core, our immedi-ate treatment of these migrants is aserious human rights question and acritical humanitarian issue. The Of-fice of the UN High Commissioneron Refugees (UNHCR) estimatesthat 60 percent of the children whohave fled to the US qualify for inter-national support, including asylum,and this estimate could prove low.

As Illinois Senator Richard J.Durbin put it, “let’s take care that wedon’t send them back into a deadlysituation.” Our decent treatment ofthese children reflects our core val-ues as a nation and is simply the rightthing to do.

The second question we shouldask is: why are these children fleeingnow? These kids are crossing theborder to escape escalating, uncon-trollable violence; grinding poverty;and a devastating, perhaps lethal fu-ture. In this maelstrom the UnitedStates is not a detached, innocentbystander. For decades, U.S. govern-ments supported unspeakably brutalregimes and poured billions into main-taining them ($5 billion in El Salvadoralone). Implacable opposition to com-munism—often defined as virtuallyany reformer—gave these regimesa blank check. The result is a legacy

Putting the Central AmericanChildren’s Migration In Context

By Beatriz ManzUC NEWSROOM

The dramatic surge in the numberof Central American children andteenagers entering the US has cre-ated considerable concern amongmany in the United States. Alreadythis year, 52,000 children have beenapprehended. The latest estimates in-dicate that almost 90,000 unaccom-panied minors — overwhelminglyfrom Guatemala, El Salvador, andHonduras — will be picked-up by theUS Border Patrol through this fiscalyear ending in September 2014, al-most double last year’s total.

For many of us who have con-ducted research in Central America,this surge is hardly surprising. Whatis troubling, however, is that the de-bate over what the US should do withthese children has centered on howto deport them as rapidly as possible.The naive notion is that deportationwill send an unmistakable messagenot to attempt the dangerous journeynorth.

The first question we ought to beasking is: how do we aid these trau-matized, troubled young people?Much of the intense, politicized out-cry over these developments ignores

of dealing with your opponentsthrough extreme violence and a cul-ture of impunity. Judicial systems re-main weak, corrupt, and often com-pletely dysfunctional.

After the cold war ended, theUnited States lost interest in thesecountries. What was left was destruc-tion, tens of thousands dead, andmassive population displacement.The percentage of people living be-low the poverty line is 54 percent forGuatemala, 36 percent for ElSalvador,and 60 percent for Hondu-ras. More recently gangs, organizedcrime, and drug cartels feeding theUS market have become part of thisunholy mix.

In 2008, I was commissioned bythe UNHCR to write a report on vio-lence in Central America.The reportconcluded that “the new gang-relatedviolence can be attributed to severalfactors including decades of internalwars and impunity, extensive displace-ment to urban areas, the absence ofsocial and economic programs to in-tegrate the youth, the migration to theUnited States, and the overall socialexclusion of a large proportion of thepopulation.” We should not make

In Baja California I Learned that Workers Have RightsThe Story of Natalia

BautistaTold to David Bacon

Natalia Bautista was bornin a Mixteco family that hadmigrated to north Mexico towork as far laborers. Shebecame involved in the strikesthat changed the conditionsfor workers in Baja Califor-nia in the 1980s, and todaylives in Santa Maria, whereshe is a community organizer.She told the story of thosestrikes and their connectionto leftwing political parties toDavid Bacon.

Well I am from Oaxaca. Ihave always stated that becausemy mother is from SantiagoTiña and my father is fromRancho Diego Mixtepec. Butmy parents left Oaxaca in the70’s. They moved to Veracruzto work in the sugar cane fieldsand that is where I was born.

My parents are farm work-ers. They left their hometowndue to economic problems, justlike everyone else. They firstmoved to Veracruz, and fromthere the moved to Sinaloa andstayed there for a while. Theythen left to Sonora and even-tually came to Baja CaliforniaNorte. When we arrived I wasalready six years old. That iswhere I have my first memo-ries of growing up and seeingmy parents work. I remembermy father working at a ranchby the name of Rancho Caña.That is where we grew up.

We first arrived in a littletown named Vicente Guerrero.My father rented a small housefrom a family from Jalisco. Heworked in the fields just out-side the neighborhood. My fa-ther then met the owner of theranch and asked if we couldlive there. I don’t know thedetails, but that’s where weended up. My father built asmall house out of cardboardand covered it with plastic.

We stayed in that house forfour years, as long as my fa-ther worked on that ranch. Wewouldn’t have left if my fatherhadn’t been fired. I rememberhim coming home telling us wehad to leave. My father, mybrother and other workers thenrefused to get out until theywere compensated. That is thefirst time I remember hearingthat workers had rights andcould organize.

Those topics weren’t cov-ered in school. In fact, I didn’tattend school very much. I onlywent up to third grade. I re-member not passing first gradeon two occasions because Ididn’t speak Spanish. Learn-ing the alphabet was difficultfor me. It was something com-pletely foreign from what wespoke at home. My parentswere Mixteco, so we onlyspoke our language. I beganworking when I was eight,picking brussels sprouts withmy aunt and mother.

My father was fired afterhaving organized the otherworkers. I don’t recall if it wasmy father or brother who firstrealized they had to organize.I remember them traveling toEnsenada to seek support. Iwould listen to them talk and Iremember they said they’d metwith a woman named Norma,from an organization thatwould support their efforts.They held their meetings andcompleted the paperwork toask for compensation. Thecompany finally paid them andmy father and brother pooledtheir money to purchase a smallplot of land. That is where wegrew up, in the Benito Juarezneighborhood. The majority ofthose receiving compensationmoved there. My brother stilllives there.

As a kid, you just like beingin the mix when adults are talk-ing. When you’re young, youtry to become involved in adultconversations, and it was in-teresting to me. I remembermy father and brother organiz-

a partnership, where workersfelt they could be part of theunion that helped protect theirrights, and also affiliate them-selves with the party.

In those days, I think boththe union and political partywere fundamental. The partywasn’t there solely for yourvote. It was a party thatworked in support of the work-ers and the union. If there wasa work stoppage having to dowith labor, the party was thereto help. Party leaders were in-timately involved. You have aright to organize, but you needa labor group to back up yourideas.

When they met with largegroups of workers, they spokemore about labor rights. At theorganization level, then theytalked more about ideas. Partyleaders would speak to theworkers about the governmentsystem and talked about strug-gles around the world, like thelabor struggles in Russia andNicaragua. I remember beingin awe after hearing themspeak. I felt that they under-stood what was happening inthe world, and that my ideas

were important. I was veryimpressed. Party leaders spokeof changing the system andestablishing a new and differ-ent government. I imagined amarvelous place, but we’re stillwaiting for that.

The CIOAC activists thathelped organize came up fromSinaloa, Sonora and San Quen-

ing. That’s when I learned thatworkers had rights, and youcouldn’t simply let them go andtreat them like animals. Whenmy father told us that he hadbeen compensated and wewere moving, I rememberthinking, “Wow, this works andit’s a right.” I walked awaythinking that we were humans.The people who moved withus were like-minded folks, withsimilar ideas and goals.

Later they all came togetherto fight for electricity and run-ning water. I learned you hadto keep fighting and organizingin order to improve your livingconditions. When we firstmoved, we had to a walk longdistance for clean water. Wewould carry our clothing towash it at the water source.Everyone began to talk aboutthe need for electricity andwater. Soon after, folks fromSinaloa who were familiar withorganizing came to help. Theyencouraged us to also thinkabout our rights as farm work-ers.

The organizers who camewere from CIOAC [the Con-federacion Independente deObreros Agricolas y Cam-pesinos - the Independent Con-federation of Farm Workersand Farmers] — the Garciabrothers, Benito and Fernando.My father knew them becausetheir parents were also fromSan Juan Mixtepec. My fatheroffered our house as a placeto meet. By then, they had al-ready organized workers invarious camps. It seemed tohappen so fast — by the timeI realized it, they were alreadypainting signs, making bannersand talking about a grandmarch. It was very exciting.

This happened around 1985.I was young, probably 13 or 14years old. I really don’t knowhow to explain it, but the nextthing I knew there were lotsof people from Ensenada andTijuana coming over to thehouse. Now that I analyze itas an adult, I realize the ma-jority were from the MexicanSocialist Party. I met a lot ofthem. They came to offer sup-port and help in any way theycould. They supported theworkers in various ways, but itwas basically a conversation ofideas. I contributed by servingfood and coffee.

Finally the day of the marcharrived. We all participated andnobody worked. The strike wasvery impressive. It was hugeand spread through the entireVicente Guerrero neighbor-hood. There were different la-bor camps involved. It beganwith the workers from Ranchodel Mar and then a neighbor-ing ranch. They agreed thatnobody would show up forwork, and if someone did, theywould throw tomatoes at themuntil they stopped working.Most elected to participate inthe march, so I didn’t see any-one pelted with tomatoes withmy own eyes. You had to par-ticipate because it was for yourrights. All the workers from thedifferent companies met in themiddle to form a large group.

In those times, they wereasking for a salary increaseand better working conditions.They also asked for bettertreatment from the foremen, aset lunch period and for buck-ets that weren’t so heavy. Themost important request was fora salary increase. Back thenthey were asking for 1,500 pe-sos. That was before the de-valuation of the peso. Thestrike won higher wages andtransportation for the workers.They were first transported inthe large tomato containers, butafter the strike they weretransported in buses.

The CIOAC organizationset up shop there permanentlyas a labor union. They foughtfor labor rights of farm work-ers. And the union receivedsupport from the political partyleaders. The political party es-tablished itself with the work-ers after the strike. It became

tin. But they were originallyfrom Mixtepec in Oaxaca. InOaxaca people have had theirown struggles. Two years agoI accompanied my father toOaxaca and asked him how thetown’s school was built. Hesaid it was a community strug-

De Gaza aCasa

Ann Coulter, una de esaslocutoras a las que enEstados Unidos les pagan porhacer declaraciones racistasa diestra y siniestra (todo seapor los “ratings”, mientrasmás controversial y másracista más anuncios),finalmente hizo la conexiónobvia entre los niñosasesinados en Gaza,Palestina, por las bombasisraelíes (subsidiadas,también obvio), por losEstados Unidos, y los niñosen la frontera con México.

En un comentario rayanoen la locura total, durante unaentrevista con Sean Hannityde la cadena Fox News,Coulter comparó los túnelesde la frontera con México alos que usa Hamas paraentrar a Israel. “Estáninvadiendo”, dice la Coulter,“para contrabandear armas,artillería. Están asesinando,violando”. Según ella, y larelación está en que laviolencia en mi casa,Chicago, se debe a un cártelmexicano de la droga.

De remate, después dearmar y “justificar” larelación, Coulter dice que“Necesitamos un Netanyahuaquí. Y si”, dice entre risas,“algunas veces los niñospalestinos mueren, pero esporque son o están asociadoscon organizaciones terroristasque están dañando a Israel”.En resumen, Coulterprácticamente pide que sebombardee la fronteraMéxico-Estados Unidos paraliberarse de “un problema”.

Por desgracia no está sola.A los redomados imbéciles desus televidentes y sus jefesque hacen negocio con elracismo más abierto, sesuman cada vez mas grupos.Uno de ellos, el Ku KluxKlan, de plano le pidió a laPatrulla Fronteriza“dispararle a los niñosindocumentados que cruzanla frontera” en una entrevistadel periodista Robert Ray deAl-Jazeera Latina.

Dos encapuchados de unafracción del Klan llamada“Los Caballeros BlancosLeales” manifestaron que losniños “están violando la ley alvenir”, y que “si no podemosregresarlos, podríamos hacerestallar un par de ellos ydejar los cadáveres en lafrontera, y quizás entoncesnos crean que estamos seriosen detener la inmigración”.Todo ello, con para que nosigan “viniendo y viniendo yviolando la ley”. Siguiendo lafallida lógica de Coulter, “siviolan la ley al venir, laseguirán violando después deentrar”.

Un triunfo más de los (Ex) Braceros: desde el Ciclo Escolar 2014-15escuelas de California incluirán su historia

Por Abel Astorga Morales

Aunque fue desde agostodel año 2012 cuando se aprobóla Ley SB 993 que autoriza quelas escuelas públicas de nivelbásico en el estado de Califor-nia incluyan la historia de losbraceros en sus planes deestudio, será apenas hasta elCiclo Escolar 2014-15 cuandotal medida entrará en vigor, yse consolidará el que podemosconsiderar un triunfo más delos ex braceros, mismos quedesde 1998 hasta la actualidadse movilizan para recuperar undinero que se les adeuda.

Los braceros mexicanosllegaron a trabajar a EstadosUnidos durante los convenios debraceros activos desde 1942hasta 1964. El también cono-cido Programa Bracero seempezó a desarrollar a la parde la Segunda Guerra Mundial.De hecho, fue la existencia deeste conflicto, la entrada deEstados Unidos a la guerra, ypor otro lado la escasez de manode obra en su sector agrícola,lo que cristalizó la posibilidad deinmigración de estos mexi-canos. En los veintidós años deduración de los convenios, du-rante la guerra y después de ella,poco más de 4.5 millones depersonas llegaron a trabajar aeste país, siendo el estado deCalifornia -por su pujanteeconomía agrícola- al quemayormente arribaron losbraceros.

En el año 2012, a más decuatro décadas de este con-venio binacional, se promulgó laLey SB 993 con la que sin dudase le dará reconocimiento a lacontribución de los migrantesmexicanos a la economía esta-dounidense durante las décadasdel cuarenta, cincuenta, y losprimeros años del sesenta. LaLey fue apoyada por el senadorestatal Ken De León, Demó-

crata de Los Angeles, y firmadapara su aprobación por elgobernador Jerry Brown el 28de agosto de 2012; con lo quese decretó que los libros de textode los niños y niñas de losgrados del 7 al 12 en lasescuelas públicas californianas,incluirían la historia de losbraceros, y los jóvenes tendríanla oportunidad de aprender unaparte de esta historia pococonocida hasta ahora. Sin em-bargo, hasta el día de hoy noentra en vigor según puntualizóel Departamento de Educaciónde California (CDE por sussiglas en inglés), debido a queel plan general que empezará aoperar (y que incluye otrasasignaturas) debe de estaralineado con las normas esta-tales comunes básicas. Ade-más, aún se trabaja en larevisión de la historia de losbraceros, tratando de incluir enel nuevo plan de estudios loselementos más representativose importantes, que ayuden a queel alumno comprenda y valorela labor de estos migrantes.

Considerando que la LeySB 993 exige planes de estudiodonde se de cuenta del legadoy el impacto socioeconómicodel Programa Bracero sobreEstados Unidos, y específica-mente sobre el sector agrícolay el ferroviario en el quemayormente trabajaron, desdeque se conoció la noticia de queel senador De León apoyabala Ley, decenas de ONGscalifornianas, universidades yotras organizaciones respalda-ron la iniciativa. Así lo hizotempranamente Armando Váz-quez Ramos, presidente delCentro de Estudios California-México. Del mismo modo, elapoyo también lo hicieronextensivo el Instituto CulturaMexicano en Los Angeles, laUnión Binacional de ex bra-ceros 1942-1964, y poco más

“Va a ayudar al reclutar anuevos talentos”, dijo Mona-rrez, quien ha estado en elcolegio por 13 años.

Añadió que las nuevasinstalaciones no solo benefi-ciarán a estudiantes de South-western College, sino a todala comunidad.

“Es un momento emocion-ante para Southwestern Col-lege, un gran momento para lacomunidad”, dijo. “Esperamosque toda la comunidad usarálas instalaciones, para con-

ciertos, para torneos, paraeventos comunitarios”.

Estas nuevas instalacionesson parte de un proyecto de$114 millones de nuevas con-strucciones que serán com-pletadas pronto.

En las siguientes semanas,el proyecto más grande deenergía solar en el área de SanDiego Gas & Electric seinstalará en cinco estaciona-mientos en el campus de ChulaVista.

Un nuevo edificio de dospisos con laboratorios cientí-ficos y una clínica medica

comenzará a ser construido enel campus de National City enla primavera.

El semestre de otoño iniciael 18 de agosto en Southwest-ern College. Las personasinteresadas en matricularsepueden visitar www.swccd.eduo alguno de sus campus desdeNational City hasta Otay Mesa.

Fundado en 1961, South-western College es la únicainstitución de educación supe-rior en el sur del Condado deSan Diego, sirviendo a unos400 mil residentes.

de veinte organizaciones. Laopinión generalizada, es queesta legislación representa unhecho histórico para los exbraceros, pues sin duda, estegrupo social de ancianos, tantoen México como en EstadosUnidos, desde finales de losnoventa han reivindicado suparticipación en el ProgramaBracero, y con ello le hanotorgado actualidad a estepasado migratorio.

Asimismo, el presente hechorepresenta un triunfo tambiénpara la comunidad México-estadounidense en este país,pues es importante tener encuenta que muchos de estosbraceros que llegaron a laborarentre 1942 y 1964, en su mo-mento desertaron del contratotemporal de trabajo que ambospaíses les ofrecieron, o simple-mente decidieron permaneceren estas tierras ilegalmente. Esdecir, en la actualidad, muchaspersonas de ascendencia mexi-cana en California desciendende los braceros.

En resumen, dentro de pocola Ley SB 993 podrá serconsiderada como una aporta-ción significativa para la pre-servación de la memoria his-tórica de este colectivo en elestado de California. Mientrastanto en México, el lugar desdedonde ellos emigraron, no sólola educación básica esta lejosde incluir la historia de losbraceros en sus asignaturasrelacionadas con las cienciassociales; sino que además, elproblema más elemental, quees el cumplimiento de la Leydel Fideicomiso de Apoyo So-cial que otorga 38 mil pesos acada bracero que trabajódesde 1942 hasta 1964 enEstados Unidos, aún está lejosde cumplirse de manera ín-tegra.

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRALEl Soporte Informativo Para Millones

de HispanosPor Luisa Fernanda Montero

Luisa Fernanda Montero

“Que no cunda el pánico”Los tiempos modernos re-

claman moderación y sentidocomún cuando de pestes setrata. La intención no es que“cunda el pánico” como diríael viejo y querido personajemexicano, la intención, y elobjetivo a cumplir, debe ser quela gente se informe y actúe enconsecuencia.

Las muertes causadas porel Ébola en África tienen enalerta a los sistemas sanitariosde mundo y Estados Unidos,no puede ser la excepción. ¿Larazón? El brote que comenzóel pasado mes de marzo hacausado más de 700 muertesen África Occidental.

Pero vamos por partes,primero: ¿Qué es el Ébola?

Ébola es una fiebre hemo-rrágica viral. Usualmentesevera y fatal en humanos yprimates como gorilas, micosy chimpancés, de acuerdo conla definición expuesta por LosCentros de Control de En-fermedades de Estados UnidosCDC.

La fiebre, que toma sunombre del Rio Ébola, en laRepública Democrática delCongo donde fue identificadala enfermedad por primera vez,es generado por una serie devirus de la familia de losllamados Filoviridae, que se handado en llamar Ébola – virus.

¿Y cómo se transmite?Esa es la cosa. Debido a que

la reserva natural de virustransmisores no ha sido aúnprobada, la forma en la que elvirus se transmite a un humanoal comienzo de un brote esdesconocida. Sin embargo, lainfección de humano a humanofunciona de diferentes formas,así: cuando hay contactodirecto con la sangre o lassecreciones de una personainfectada o con objetos, comoagujas, que hayan sido con-taminados por secrecionesinfectadas.

Durante un brote de Ébolala infección se puede transmitirrápidamente en los centros desalud, hospitales y clínicas, siel personal no desinfectaapropiadamente los instru-mentos o no usa el equipo deprotección adecuado, comomáscaras, guantes y trajes

especiales.Cuando hay infección los

síntomas suelen comenzar encualquier momento entre losdos y los 21 días siguientes ala exposición al virus y son:fiebre, dolor de cabeza, doloresmusculares, debilidad, dolor deestómago, diarrea, vómito yfalta de apetito. Algunos pa-cientes pueden presentartambién erupciones, ojos rojos,hipo, tos, dolor en el pecho y lagarganta, dificultad para res-pirar y tragar y hemorragiasinternas y externas.

Muchas de las personas quese contaminan con el virustransmisor del Ébola logranrecuperarse, otros no. Lasrazones por las que esto ocurreno han sido explicadas aun. Sinembargo, se sabe que lospacientes que mueren, por logeneral, no desarrollan unarespuesta inmune adecuadacontra el virus.

Es muy importante saberque la fiebre no se transmite através del aire, como las

enfermedades respiratorias oa través de alimentos o aguacontaminados.

Las autoridades estadouni-denses de salud emitieron elpasado 31 de Julio una alertainvitando a sus ciudadanos aevitar viajes innecesarios aGuinea, Liberia y Sierra Leona.Es importante recordar que losbrotes se han presentado tam-bién en Nigeria, RepúblicaDemocrática del Congo, Sudande Sur, Gabón, Costa de Marfil,Uganda y Sur África.

Conocidos los hechos, esclaro que al asunto del Ébolahay que ponerle atención,sobre todo si trabajamos en elsector de la salud o debemosviajar a alguno de los paísesde alto riesgo, de lo contrario,por ahora, no hay nada quetemer.

children pay the price for theintolerable social destructionthat Central American elitesand militaries, as well as suc-cessive US governments, hada hand in creating.

Critics charge that Presi-dent Obama’s immigrationpolicy is at fault today for pro-viding an illusion that if childrenarrive here they will be allowedto stay. False rumors no doubtcontribute to the flow but notsignificantly. These rumorsserve multiple useful purposes,especially to those wanting tomaintain the status quo . In arecent UNHCR survey of 400child migrants only a singlechild mentioned new US im-migration policies as the rea-son he came.

A number of RepublicanSenators would like to repealor at least drastically alter aPresident George W. Bush-eralaw that mandated stronger le-gal rights for child migrantsfrom countries that don’t sharea physical border with theUnited States. Instead, criticspropose treating children flee-ing the three Central Americancountries the way children

coming from Mexico orCanada are treated: that is,making it far easier to deportthem.

What’s wrong with thisidea? As a start, Honduras isvery different from Mexico letalone Canada. We should re-member that in the 1960s,when there was concern overpersecution in Cuba, the USencouraged and organized thePeter Pan program thatbrought 14,000 Cuban childrento the U.S. In 1980, over125,000 Cubans fled that coun-try for the US in a matter ofmonths. Hundreds of smallboats from Florida went to theCuban port of Mariel to pickup those wishing to flee. TheUS Coast Guard helped insurea safe journey.

What happened to the Pe-ter Pan and Mariel immigrants?They were integrated into ex-isting communities and reunitedwith family members, the goalof all immigrants. CentralAmericans are not only con-tributing to the US economytoday but sent $13 billion in re-mittances to Guatemala, Hon-duras, and El Salvador in 2013.

The most critical question is:what should the US do now?There are clearly no easy orquick answers, but we need afar more realistic focus. In-

creasing the border patrol is notgoing to solve the problem;spending billions on drug inter-diction in Central America willnot solve the problem. As astart, we need to do two things:first, insure that the rights ofthe children fleeing to this coun-try are fully respected and thatthey are treated humanely. Thisapproach would be in the fin-est traditions of the US and liveup to the values we prize.

Second, a long-term CentralAmerican-style Marshall Planis essential to address thestructural,economic, and socialproblems these countries face.And, even then, we must real-ize that it will take decades toinsure strong, sustainable de-velopment. Only when youngpeople see a future for them-selves in their home countrieswill the migrations be held incheck. Ironically, while this pro-gram would involve consider-able resources, it could proveby far the most cost-effectiveapproach.

And, in the meantime, wewould honor the inspiringwords that grace the Statue ofLiberty.

La edición VII del festivalanual de música Outside Lands2014 tuvo lugar entre el 8 y el10 de agosto en San Franciscoy, como era de esperarse, fueun éxito de público —lasentradas se vendieron en 24horas!

El evento tiene lugar en elespectacular parque GoldenGate e incluye cinco esce-narios, una carpa para come-diantes y áreas para pre-sentaciones informales de“troupes” y artistas invitados.

Outside Lands (www.sfoutsidelands.com) fue definido poruno de los publicistas como elúnico “Festival Gourmet” delpaís. En realidad, los organi-zadores han hecho un buentrabajo en reproducir parte dela cultura de la ciudad en ma-teria culinaria, incluyendo elgusto por el vino y las cervezasartesanales.

De esta manera, los visi-tantes —más de 70.000 per-sonas por día!— pueden dis-frutar de platillos rápidos conun toque casero, o gourmet,que normalmente no se ven eneventos similares alrededor deEE.UU.

También hay “food trucks”(camiones de comida), comidalatina —mexicana, sudameri-cana y venezolana!— unacarpa para DJs, además denumerosos puestos de ventas yhasta de promoción de causassociales, desde registro devotantes hasta promoción deenergía solar y un pequeñomercado!

Ah, y música! Más de 100artistas y bandas del másamplio universo musical llenanel espacio de tonos y melodíaspara el placer de la audiencia.

Este año, la elección de losartistas principales no fuerecibida con gran satisfacción:

Es un lugar sensacional donde vivir. Pero se sacude con terremotos también.

Prepararse para terremotos dañinos es una responsabilidad que viene con vivir en California.

Recuerde que las pólizas de seguros de propiedad residencial no cubren daños por terremoto - se requiere una póliza independiente.

Sin seguro de terremoto, el costo de los daños es su costo.

La CEA le da tranquilidad que ningún terremoto puede sacudir.

Outside Lands 2014, un año de gran éxito

Kayne West, Tom Petty y TheKillers.

Sin embargo, lo atractivoestuvo más bien en el segmentode los artistas “no tan fa-mosos” que este año estuvodominado por mujeres!

Pero hubo también un even-to dentro del festival de granimportancia emocional: lapresentación pública de laestampilla dedicada a la granartista Janis Joplin (www.janisjoplin.com), símbolo de larebeldía y creatividad musicalde la década del 60.

La presentación estuvo acargo de la Oficina Postal deEE.UU., que organizó unhomenaje a la mencionadaartista, fallecida a los 27 añosen la plenitud de su carrera.

Nacida en Texas, Joplin hizode San Francisco su segundohogar. Por esta razón lasautoridades de la Oficina deCorreos eligieron a OutsideLands para la presentación delsello postal.

El hermano de la artista,Michael Joplin, estuvo pre-sente. Luego tres intérpretesrecrearon la música de Joplin—esa intrigante mezcla deblues, rock y gospel que,sumado a la maravillosa voz deJanis hicieron de ella un íconomusical de la época y que aúnmantiene su vigencia.

Kacey Musgraves, NickiBluhm y Mary Bridget Dav-ies interpretaron canciones deJoplin ante una feliz audiencia.Mary Davis fue recientementenominada a un Premio Tony porsu actuación en la obra A Nightwith Janis Joplin (Una no-che con Janis Joplin). Ella nosolo interpreta la música de lafallecida cantante sino queescribe y graba sus propiamúsica.

El evento concluyó con elinicio de la venta de las estam-pillas de Janis Joplin.

A continuación, un pequeñoresumen de lo mejor y peor deOutside Lands.

Lo mejor:Sin dudas, las

presentaciones de Valerie Juney de Imelda May.

Valerie June, de Tennes-see, toca guitarra y banjos y laacompañan dos músicos. Ellainterpreta maravillosamentecanciones del Sur del país, unaartística mezcla de gospel,rock, folk y blues. Imperdible!

La irlandesa Imelda Maytrajo sus canciones y melodíasde un toque melancólico, y conuna gran combinación de estilosdominados por el jazz y el blues.Su increíble voz y presenciaescénica agregan un condi-mento único a esta gran artista.

También destacaron bandasy artistas como la enigmáticaLikke Li, Lucius, Nocona,Tycho, The Dum Dum Girlsy otros.

La presentación más di-vertida fue la del irreverenteBig Freedia, de Nuevo Or-leans. Freedia presenta suversión de hip hop que él llama“bounce music” y en el es-cenario lleva al máximo el“twearking”, para delirio desus fans.

Lo peor:La banda angelina de tres

muchachas, Haim, tuvo unimpactante inicio por su estiloinformal e independiente.Ahora, más cerca del mercadogeneral y con mayor popu-laridad, presentan un showdonde se pierde su estilo origi-nal, les queda grande. Muchoshow y poca música, nadanuevo bajo el sol.

Tegan & Sara. Estas me-llizas que saltaron a la fama porsu simpática presencia y músi-ca simple, no tienen voz y sumúsica nada de creatividad.

Explaining GentrificationBy Jeremy Bamidele

Gentrification, It’s the word of the decade ifnot the last few decades. It’s been associatedwith such neighborhoods and cities as Harlem,Washington D.C., and San Diego’s Barrio Lo-gan. While the repercussions of gentrificationare easy to see: the rise of cafes, art exhibits,nicer streets, a higher police presence and awealthier community, the process by whichgentrification takes place and it’s more insidi-ous effects have yet to be explored. In order toanalyze the effects of gentrification, one mustfirst understand the process by which it comesabout. Gentrification follows three stages:pseudo gentrification, inflation, and actualizedgentrification.

Pseudo gentrification can most easily be un-derstood as the movement of artist, bohemi-ans, and young professionals, and the associ-ated business they bring: cafes, art exhibits,theater, and bike shops into communities. Thesenew residents serve as scions of culture in-creasing the quality of leisurely events avail-able to residents. As many artists and bohemi-ans tend to be on the lower end of the incomescale and require a large enough clientele baseto fund their endeavors, they both rely on andare attracted to densely populated areas withlow costs of living. This is a difficult pairing tofind as urban neighborhoods are known for theirhigh rents and mortgages. In order to combatthis, many artist, bohemians and young peoplechoose to take on roommates to lessen the costof living and allow for a higher amount of dis-cretionary income to enjoy the leisure activi-ties which their communities bring.

In response to apartments being populatedby not one, but instead several people, land-lords raise rents. This proportionately leads tothe increase in value of all surrounding realestate. Thereby further economically restrict-ing those of low income brackets to rent. Afterthe multiple tenants leave the apartment, theinflated rate remains if not increases. This leaves

behind a higher expense for future renters, whoare then further motivated to take on room-mates to counteract the cost. This continuesuntil the amount of roommates required by theselow income individuals becomes intolerable toeither tenants or the landlord. At this point, ten-ants either choose to or are forced to find newliving arrangements in cheaper neighborhoodsoften leading to pseudo gentrification and in-flation being started in another community.

While the high price of living will detract cer-tain communities, it will attract others. Manyaffluent individuals are attracted to places withhigh cost of living for their socio-economic andculturally segregating properties. The movementof affluent individuals into communities whichwere previously populated by young profession-als, artist, and bohemians is known as actualizedgentrification. What separates pseudo gentri-fication from actualized gentrification is the abil-ity by those belonging to the latter group to actu-ally afford their lifestyle while being able to payinflated rates and mortgages. While the formergroup struggles to live a life of affluence, thelatter can comfortably compete.

The migration of the young artistic populaceout of cities replaced by an older, more afflu-ent and more homogenous populace leads to ashift in culture and the commodification of thebohemian and multi-faceted culture that origi-nally attracted people to the city. These areasthen become akin to upscale and more denselypopulated suburbs—homogenous, mostly white,affluent, and focused on consumerism. Whilesome consider gentrification progress it makesothers cringe. One real estate developer andlongtime resident of Manhattan New York,Leong Diong, compared the process to colo-nialism; it displaces the indigenous cultures ofNew York with a homogenous entitled elite.

Chicanos y Boricuas in the Media:A Missing Point of View

By Placido Salazar,USAF Retired Vietnam Veteran

Boriqua artists don’t seem to have the diffi-culty which Chicanos do in getting booked onvariety shows, such as Sabado Gigante, or inmovies - and more power to them. You cancount on the fingers of one hand, the numberof Chicanos who have managed to get intoHollywood movies - and NOT ONE in a majorstarring role. Even the rare movies of Selena’stragic life, had Jennifer Lopez (Boriqua),Ritchie (Ricardo Valenzuela) Valens played byLou Diamond Philips (Filipino-Irish) and hisbrother played by Esai Morales (Boriqua).

Even the part of Guy Gabaldon, a 5' 3"Chicano (but reportedly raised by a Japanesefamily after his parents died) WWII Hero fromL.A., was played in “From Hell To Eternity”by 6' l” Jeffrey Hunter (blue-eyed Anglo).Gabaldon captured more than 1500 Japaneseand civilians.

I am in the process of producing a documen-tary (working title. “AGIF Heroes - Our Vet-erans’ Struggle Continues”) with $25,000 I re-ceived from a lawsuit settlement and had thecheck made out, not to me, but to the project.The documentary will feature mostly Mexican-Americans who have fought for veterans’healthcare, civil rights and school desegrega-tion, not just for Mexican-Americans, but forevery American. Individuals such as Dr. Hec-tor P. Garcia, attorneys Gustavo C. Garcia (norelationship), Carlos Cadena, etc., and womencivil rights activists.

Boriquas and other ethnic groups help eachother UP, and although a few such as Efrain

Gutierrez and I have helped several aspiringactors get their start, as Chicanos, we still havea ways to go in helping each other out. Wehave several Mexican-American executives inkey corporate positions who help others out but,so far, my proposals (501c3 deductible) for cor-porate contributions have yielded only some“promises and possibilities.” PBS won’t evenanswer my calls; although I was previously ontheir community affairs committee. I somehowbelieve things might be different if my namewere “Smith” or “Williams.” Several peoplehave said, “I’m behind you,” but I need themside-by-side, fighting the good fight for finan-cial support.

My interest in producing this documentary isto introduce it to school and public libraries, sothat our Mexican-American students will beaware of so many great men and women whomade great sacrifices fighting for the opportu-nities for employment and advancement whichthey now enjoy, but take for granted, becausethey do not realize where these came from.

It has become an annual ritual. TheSweetwater Authority board isonce again considering raising thewater rates for Chula Vista, Bonita,

and National City customers. Like clock-work the board will hold a public hear-ing on their proposed water rate increaseand every year for the past 7 years thedistrict has raised water rates, except for2011.

Several years ago the Sweetwater Au-thority went to a four tier billing system.The idea was to reward those customerswho conserved and used the least amountof water with a lower water rate. Theseare folks who used 10 hector feet of wateror less. A hector foot of water is 748gallons of water. At the opposite end ofthis billing system where those custom-ers who consumed the most water, theywould be charged the most, with a higherper hector foot rate. The idea was to en-courage conservation with their wateruse.

The idea was good, reward those whoconserve and minimize the fiscal impacton the low-income and senior citizen.Yet what looks good on paper doesn’tnecessarily mean it will work in real lifeand this plan did not work.

As it turns out, the majority of thefolks who use the most water lived inBonita with their larger than normalproperties, who saw their water bills insome cases triple from around $200 ev-ery billing cycle (Sweetwater bills ev-ery two months) to over $800 in somecases. These residents were outragedand considered their expense a subsidyof the poor.

Consider that at the low end, those us-ers were at one time paying 35 cents perhector foot.

Naturally the Board listened to the af-fluent and the Board has been readjust-ing the rate annually to bring the lowerrate up, and this year, once again, theBoard is hitting the low-income, thosewho effectively conserve, the hardestwith their proposed rate increase.

From 35 cents, the rates have beenraised to their present cost of $1.40 perhector foot and the new rate, if approved,would double that to $2.80 per hectorfoot. While the poor are getting theirrates doubled, those who use the mostwater will only see their rate raised by16 cents! So instead of rewarding thosewho conserve we have a reversal of for-tune and those who use the most are be-ing appeased.

And as usual the cause for the rate in-crease is a pass along rate increase fromthe San Diego County Water Authority(SDCWA), where the Sweetwater Au-thority gets some of their water from.

Two things about the water rate in-crease; 1) the Sweetwater Authority onlygets 41%+/- of its water from SDCWA,with most of their water coming fromSweetwater River, wells, and desalinationplants, and 2) according to SDCWA theirpass along rate this year is among thesmallest in the past decade. We have toquestion why such a spike in the ratesfrom $1.40 to $2.80.

Sweetwater Authority justifies theirrate increase citing the pass along ratefrom SDCWA and the need for infra-structure projects, which are the sameprojects they have been talking about overthe last 6 rate increases, we haven’t no-ticed any change in the projects or theirneeds. For example they want to expandthe Richard Reynolds Desalination Fa-cility but the question is why? The lastwe heard their rights to the undergroundwater are tied up in court and have beenfor several years now. In the meantimeSDCWA has decreased their capitalspending minimizing the impact on theircustomer’s rates.

The proposed water rate increase pro-posal also has one other component tothe package they are considering, in thatthey will forgo seeking public input onfuture pass along rate increases for thenext five years. They are considering tojust pass along the rates to the costum-ers without any public input or consid-eration.

The Sweetwater Authority board hasbeen caviler in their responsibility whenit comes to water rate increases and togive them carte blanche authority in rais-ing the rates will only give them the ano-nymity and freedom to raise rates with-out having to face the public outrage.

Lastly there has been very little dis-cussion on ways for the Sweetwater Au-thority to cut back on expenses, to trimfat on the infrastructure needs, or to re-view their priorities and possibility ofpostponing and positioning themselvesfor such projects as the Richard Rey-nolds Desalination Facility expansion orthe Hydrogeological studies.

These questions and many more shouldbe brought up by the community at thePublic Hearing, August 25, at 6 pm, inthe Board Room of the Sweetwater Au-thority at 505 Garrett Ave, Chula Vista.

Sweetwater is going to raise your waterrates… again!

Robin Williams: Every funny person ishiding a tortured soul?

By Berenice Taboada Díaz

Unfortunately, we are people pleasers. Wedon’t want other people to see the real us be-cause we are afraid that if they do it, they maynot like us. That´s why funny people want ev-erybody to laugh. Being funny and making oth-ers laugh fills emptiness; you see others happyand it gives you a bit of it back - you havesome purpose, some worth to others, althoughyou may feel worthless to yourself. Comedi-ans, more than anyone, know very well thattheir sense of humor can distract people so theydon’t know the deep despair they feel inside.

But are these people prone to depression andsuicide? Most of us think that funny, outspo-ken, confident people do not kill themselves.“It just doesn’t make sense. They are laughingand make laugh others all the time”, we usu-ally think. But we don´t usually see the suicidaltendencies or simply sadness hidden inside ofthem. While they seem to be happy outside,they just mask their inner turmoil. In fact, 90%of people who die by suicide have an underly-ing mental illness, often undiagnosed depres-sion, or alcohol and substance abuse. So, de-pression is serious, and sadly losing an icon like

Robin Williams brings more light to this.Along the history, lot of comedians claimed to

be longtime sufferers of depression, struggle withmanic disorders and or contemplated suicide.There’s not enough space in this article to namethem all, but just to name a few: English come-dian Kenneth Williams, comic genius SpikeMilligan, American television star Groucho Marx,Britain’s favorite comedian in the 1950s and1960s Tony Hancock, Miranda Hart, Little Brit-ain star David Walliams and Stephen Fry andRuby Wax , amongst others, are some of them.Mournfully, yesterday morning, Oscar-winningactor Robin Williams joined the list.

When someone you love or admire commitssuicide, you are overwhelmed by a thousandquestions, many of which began with “Why?”especially if this person is the class-clown type.It´s difficult to explain but apparently there is apossible link between psychological disordersand the ability to generate comedy. Accordingto the British Journal of Psychiatry, manic think-ing can inspire the out-of-the-box thinking thatRobin and other comedians were known for.They are more likely than others to admit to

Dear Mexican: I’m not Mexican, butmy son-in-law is. He is intelligent,bright, enthusiastic and pleasant tospend time with. He came here, illegally,at the age of 18 with his aunts. He andmy daughter are married, have a three-and-a-half-year-old son, and have gonethrough the entire process of filingpapers and paying fees so he couldenter the country legally. Last week, atthe instruction of la migra, he went toJuarez, Mexico to apply for his visa. Hehad his physical after waiting in line fornine hours. Then, on Wednesday, hestood in line for his 9:45 a.m.appointment from 7:00 a.m. until theconsulate closed at 4:00 p.m. He wastold to come back tomorrow. He showedup at 6:00 the next morning and wasfinally granted his interview.

One question that is asked in theinterview is; “Have you ever useddrugs?” Well, being the honest personhe is and not ever wanting to be accusedof lying, he answered truthfully, “Yes, Itried some with a friend about 6 monthsago.”

It is from this experience that I havelearned our own U.S. Governmentdoesn’t care about honest people; it justwants to appear “drug-free.” He wastold he was banned from the U.S. and toreapply in two-and-a-half years! Mydaughter is beside herself with grief.She cannot afford to pay for childcarewithout the help of her husband, so shewill be forced to quit her job. Mygrandson believes his daddy doesn’tlove him any more or he would comehome. And my son-in-law has learnedthis lesson: if you want to enter the U.S.legally, don’t admit to having doneanything wrong—period.

Si no quieren acciones ejecutivas, legislenPor Maribel Hastings

El presidente de la Cámara Baja, JohnBoehner, republicano de Ohio, escribió un artículode opinión en POLITICO Magazine, pidiéndoleal titular del poder ejecutivo, Barack Obama, que“haga su trabajo” en inmigración “sin reescribirla ley y ampliar dramáticamente su acción uni-lateral”. Le corresponde al Congreso, recordóBoehner, legislar sobre este asunto.

La aseveración es bastante cínica con-siderando que la Cámara Baja ha claudicadototalmente en su responsabilidad de legislar, eninmigración y en otros asuntos. Si los republicanosno quieren que Obama use su autoridadejecutiva para, dentro de los parámetros legalesy constitucionales, priorizar las deportaciones,¿por qué no legislan?

Porque es más rentable políticamente --y ameses de una elección intermedia que vislumbraprometedora para los republicanos-- seguirmachacando el argumento de la “presidenciaimperial” y de que se estaría violentando laConstitución aunque no sea cierto.

Pero en una atmósfera tan politizada ypolarizada como la actual, la preocupación porlas acciones ejecutivas, particularmente eninmigración, también toca a demócratas y aotras figuras que cuestionan que se anuncienacciones ejecutivas en inmigración antes de unaelección, pues hacerlo movilizaría aún más a labase republicana a las urnas respondiendo a la“presidencia imperial”. Su preocupación no estanto la Cámara Baja, que ya dan por perdida,sino el Senado, donde temen lastimar asenadores demócratas en estados conser-vadores arriesgando la delicada mayoría quese tambalea en noviembre. Otros temen quese establezca un precedente y que, a futuro,un presidente republicano, por ejemplo, opte porgirar órdenes ejecutivas sobre asuntoscontroversiales cuando no haya coincidenciacon el Congreso.

Es lamentable que los temas no puedansolucionarse como debería ser, legislando demanera bipartidista, y que la única opcióndisponible sean las acciones ejecutivas. Quienesabogamos por una reforma migratoria ampliay justa, entendemos que las acciones ejecutivasno son una panacea porque son temporales,limitadas en su alcance y pueden ser revocadasde un plumazo, sobre todo por futurospresidentes.

Pero también entendemos que a veces sonnecesarias. En la Cámara Baja no hayposibilidades, al menos por ahora, de legislaciónmigratoria. El Senado les envió, desde mediadosdel 2013, un proyecto de reforma migratoriaimperfecto, pero al fin y al cabo un vehículo paranegociar. Los republicanos de la Cámara Bajani lo debatieron, ni presentaron una alternativa,ya fuera un proyecto amplio o proyectos

individuales. Ni siquiera la emergencia fronterizalos hizo recapacitar. Por el contrario, atribuyeronla crisis a la Acción Diferida (DACA) concedidaa los DREAMers en 2012, aunque los reciénllegados no llenen los requisitos, y aprovecharonla coyuntura para tratar de revocar la leyantitráfico de personas de 2008 y revocarDACA. Mientras tanto, la realidad sobre elterreno no cambia. Millones siguen en lassombras y con miedo a la deportación aunquerealicen trabajos que mueven la economía,aunque tengan hijos y familiares ciudadanos,aunque no tengan historial delictivo y aunquelleven décadas viviendo en Estados Unidos. Esmás, muchos inmigrantes con esas caracte-rísticas han alimentado la maquinaria dedeportaciones.

El presidente tiene la autoridad y la discreciónde priorizar las deportaciones para que lasautoridades pertinentes se centren en criminalesy amenazas a la seguridad nacional y no enpersonas con vidas establecidas, hijos ciuda-danos, con trabajo y sin historial delictivo.

Si el presidente decide ampliar DACA paraconceder un alivio temporal de la deportación ypermisos de trabajo a otros sectores deindocumentados, estaría ejerciendo esa dis-creción y no concediendo una “amnistía”, comodicen los republicanos. DACA no constituye enmodo alguno una vía a la ciudadanía.

Sólo en el torcido mundo de la politiqueríamigratoria las contradicciones reinan: la CámaraBaja no legisla, pero acusa al presidente decreerse Rey si gira órdenes ejecutivas.Denuncian la “ilegalidad”, pero con su inacciónperpetuan el statu quo de verdadera ilegalidadcuando es imposible saber quiénes están entrenosotros.

En este momento el mundo arde por lascuatro esquinas y Obama enfrenta crisis a todoslos niveles. El tema migratorio siempre se relegaante otras crisis.

Pero Obama debe actuar. Para algunos tener11 millones de indocumentados en el país no escrisis. Para las familias que viven en el limbo aun paso de la deportación lo es. También lo espara quienes ya fueron separados por unadeportación y para quienes llevan añosaguardando reunirse con familiares por eldisfuncional sistema migratorio. Debería serlotambién para quienes se preocupan por laeconomía y la seguridad del país,

La autoridad y la discreción existen y sonlegales. Si no se usaran ahora por considera-ciones político partidistas es harina de otro cos-tal. Pero lo menos que debe importarle aObama es lo que diga una oposición republicanaobstruccionista. Si no les gustan las accionesejecutivas, que legislen.

And forthe next fiveyears, while they go through the entireprocess over again, I will miss watchingmy sweet little boy grow up. I will misshaving my only daughter and best friendwith me, and I will miss having myloving son-in-law here where he belongswith his family.

I’ve written to my senators asking forintervention and I’m going to get anappointment to see an immigrationlawyer, but I’m not terribly confident.Do you hold out any hope for them atall?

Dear Gabacha: Ever hear that canard byKnow Nothings that Mexicans don’t wantto enter el Norte the “right” way? Youryerno is Exhibit Número One on why wedon’t. Throw in the stupidity of our drugwar, and coming into this country legally ismore unjustly harder than trying to get yourtía to write her tamale secrets down inrecipe form. Honestly, the best thing foryour son-in-law is to cross over illegally, asundocumented folks nowadays seem tohave more protection than those who try todo it the right way—and while I have noproblem with that whatsoever, how fuckedup is that we’ve come to this? Wait, thatcame off VERY conservative, so let me savemy Aztlanista reputation…¡A LACHINGADA CON MURRIETA!

sion of rock paper scissors. By the time I waseight, he had become a great friend to me.

Ryan and I had a very weird friendship fromthe get-go. We’d always see each other atchurch, but we only ever smiled and said hi toeach other. Our conversations usually only oc-curred on the Friday nights we spent when thekids’ group got together.

When we stopped attending the group, wewere stuck with the occasional “hey” here andthere. Even when we went to the same middleschool, we’d see each other, smile, wave andcontinue on talking with our own group friends.But every Sunday we’d stand together in theback of the church and have the conversationsI couldn’t have with anyone else.

Anyone who saw our interactions at schoolwould probably think that we were simply be-ing chummy, but in reality he was my best friend.He knew everything about me and I knew ev-erything about him. He was someone I couldtrust and even when we had to go weeks with-out speaking or seeing each other, we’d stillpick up where we left off every Sunday.

In seventh grade, Ryan came out as gay. Hewas excited to not have to hide anymore andpretend to be someone he wasn’t. At the sametime you could sense that he was nervous aboutthe outcome. When he came out at school,there didn’t seem to be a dramatic change; notmany people minded who he was.

But one day, I remember walking by his groupof friends while I was on my way to class andhearing someone call him a “fag.” As I turnedto look at them, Ryan’s friends had already gonetheir own ways and he began walking towardme. The look on his face really isn’t one I liketo remember. It scared me seeing how he wasable to hide something so easily.

I remember walking by on a different day torealize that his original group had now beenseparated into two. One of the groups consistedof him and most of his friends, while the sec-ond group consisted of some guys that alwayshad something to say to him. Every day, when-ever I passed by the group, one of the guysfrom the other group was always saying some-thing to him, and every day I’d wait for Ryanto make sure he was doing OK.

Our conversations on Sunday started tochange. I always started off asking him howhe was doing. I always made sure to tell himthat he didn’t have to put up with those guysalone, but every time I brought it up he’d tellme to let it go. I always did. I’d let it go for thatmoment to keep him happy.

The day I found out he killed himself, it washard for me to believe. We had just started offour freshman year in high school and had bothjust turned 15. Before the whole coming outsituation, he was always so happy. He alwaysliked making people smile. Many of the peoplefrom church loved him, he had this personalitythat screamed, “lovable.”

When I got that call saying that he’d com-mitted suicide, it made me feel like I hadn’ttried hard enough to make things right. Thefeeling of losing someone close to you is al-ready so heartbreaking, but finding out that hepurposely took his life makes you realize thatsomething was never really “fine” like he said

it was. It slowly eats at you because you'reconstantly trying to figure out when it allchanged, and why he couldn't trust you enoughto help him. But then eventually you realize thatyou were there to help and that as much as ithurts, the past can't be undone.

Losing my best friend meant that I had lost apart of me. We may not have hung out everyday at school or outside of those Sunday after-noons, but he was there for me. When mygrandparents passed away, he was my shoul-der to cry on, and he was the one that madeeverything better. So when he left, I felt like Ididn't have anyone there to help me smilethrough all the pain, to make everything better.

Looking back now, two years later, I wish Ihad realized all the little signs he had given offthat he wasn’t OK. My advice for anyone whomight be experiencing this is that no matter how“fine” people say they are, always make sureyou look at all the little details, like their eyes,or their body language. When I look back to allthose time I asked Ryan if he was OK, I re-member seeing how stiff he'd get when Ibrought it up.

At the time, I thought maybe he was just irri-tated at the fact that I didn't want to let thingsgo. But it was probably because bringing upthe topic was a reminder that he was actuallygoing through a rough time.

He had always been a hyper kid. There wasnever really a time when he wasn’t smiling.And once the bullying started, he put up thesewalls. He'd smile and say everything wasalright, but it seemed like he was never reallythere.

Sometimes you'd catch him staring at youwith this distant look in his eyes. But if youasked him what was up with that, he’d brush itaside with an “I'm just tired.” Sometimes theway people carry themselves says more thanthey will tell. If something is wrong, they won'tnecessarily put it out there.

I don't think Ryan was ever able to speakabout the way he felt because he was scaredthat people would look at him differently. Ryanalways wanted people to like him; he didn't wantanyone to look at him like he was weak. I guesshe thought that if he spoke about what he wasgoing through, someone would pity him or pokefun at it.

If someone you know is showing signs ofdepression, like withdrawing or becoming dis-tant, don't ignore it. If you or someone you knowhave had troubles and difficulties with depres-sion, alcohol, bullying or substance abuse, al-ways ask someone for help, because someonewill always be there.

De Racistas a OportunistasOtro racista más, en Texas, Thomas

Korkmas, de los “Tejanos por la ReducciónMigratoria”, compara la situación en lafrontera con el genocidio racial que ocurrióen la antigua Yugoslavia, donde las tropasserbias asesinaron a unos 100 milmusulmanes bosnios y civiles croatas, y haceotra idiótica comparación: “El flujo deindocumentados está diluyendo la poblaciónblanca de Estados Unidos”, dice, y le pone elnombre de “reemplazo étnico”.

“La invasión debe detenerse”, dice.“Cuando Clinton era presidente hubo ungenocidio étnico en Yugoslavia y aquí y ahoraocurre un reemplazo étnico. Se estáerradicando la Constitución y la legalidad; seestán eliminando las fronteras y nuestroidioma, nuestra cultura.

Korkmas es el mismo que le echó la culpadel bombazo en el maratón de Boston a lainseguridad fronteriza hace un año, e insisteen que “cada político que falla en cerrar lafrontera es culpable de ayudar a unhomicidio”.

Interesantemente, los políticos de derechason, digamos, un poco más políticos. En vezde considerarse medio homicidas, están enplena campaña para ayudarse a sí mismos.Chris Christie, gobernador de Nueva Jerseyviaja a México a reunirse con Peña Nieto ypara hacer negocios, mientras el senadorRand Paul, de Kentucky parte paraGuatemala a fin de mes para ejercer comooftalmólogo y darse taco como “amigo de loslatinos”. Y Scott Walker, gobernador deWisconsin, se unió a los reclamos por un muynecesario consulado de México enMilwaukee, siempre prometido y nuncadecidido.

Los tres se consideran posiblescontendientes Republicanos para la

presidencia en 2016, y mientras que algunoscongresistas usan discursos racistas paraganar votos este noviembre, lospresidenciables saben que tienen queconseguir el voto latino en dos años. Dice porahí el dicho que “un político piensa en lapróxima elección; un estadista piensa en lapróxima generación”.

No queda más que poner lo que sea denuestra parte para que prevalezcan losestadistas, (¡incluso los Republicanos!),porque si las Coulters y los Korkmas y otrasKKKs prevalecen, un día de estos uno va asoltarle un tiro a un niño en la frontera en“defensa propia”, igual que dice Israel quehace con los niños en Gaza, y entonces si queesto dejará de ser, más que nunca, un juegode niños...

being easily distracted, antisocial, and compul-sive and have less interest in connecting withother humans. This study shows that equally,manic thinking, which is common in people withbipolar disorder, may help people combine ideasto form new, original and humorous connec-tions. It seems they key to a good joke, right?

In the case of Robin Williams, now is publiclyknown that he finally succumb to depression,decades after he seemed to corral his worstdemons, including addiction. Apparently, thedeeper teachings behind Dead Poets’ Society,Good Morning Vietnam, and Goodwill Hunt-ing couldn´t help him in his own life. But that’smaybe the mysterious irony of being human andfamous.

Rest in peace, Robin. You weren’t just funny,brilliant and very talented but a freaking geniusand one of the greatest entertainers in the world.Thanks for being the man with a thousandvoices and faces. And for making everybodylaugh so hard.

PAGE 8 AUGUST 15, 2014 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO

By Mark Schwarz

Tijuana, B.C. Mexico – Onenovillo (young bull) of LaEstancia, excellent, and one ofJorge Hernandez Andres,weak, for rejoneadora MonicaSerrano and 4 bulls of SanJose, 2 well presented, 2 not;weak and defensive in differ-ent degrees; and a “gift” bullof Boquilla del Carmen, poor;weights: 847; 880 (novillos);1,001; 1,078; 1,034; 1,089 lbs.

An encouragingly largecrowd, just shy of half-plaza,turned out to see the last, andarguably, the least attractive,cartel of the first ½ (or 1/3?)of the new Tijuana season; tes-tament to the success of CasaTorero’s strategy of new ageadvertising strategies and triedand true taurine wisdom, “realbulls, real matadors, and theywill come…”

Unfortunately, the animalsoffered up for the corrida ofAugust 3rd were fighting stockin name only; even their physi-cal presentation left somethingto be desired, which had notbeen the case with the encierrosof Pozo Hondo and CampoHermoso of the first twoweeks. Given such poor mate-rial, the aspirations of the torerosassigned to face them were, bydefinition, limited, but each man-aged something of worth be-yond the somewhat generousawarding of two ears; one forRejoneadora Serrano and onefor Matador Barba.

Monica Serrano is the daugh-ter of one of Mexico’s most

Difficult Bulls Upend Matador’s Best Intentions In 3rd Tijuana Corridafamous mounted toreros; Ra-mon Serrano. She has beenslowly learning the complexcraft of the “art of Marialva”and in this corrida showed signsthat all of the hard work is be-ginning to pay off. Her beauti-ful horses were all superblytrained and trusted her direc-tion to emerge unhurt from sev-eral very compromising en-counters with her two novillos.The fact that she found herselfin several such predicamentsindicated that there is still learn-ing to be done in terms of choos-ing the most appropriate terrainfrom which to challenge heradversaries, but her excitingescapes demonstrated the abil-ity to think on her feet; orhooves, as the case may be.

Her placements of the re-jones de castigo, banderillas,and, above all, final rejones forthe kills were uneven; the earcut was more for her determi-nation than the overall qualityof her performance.

For the second week in a row,the Forcados Mazaltecos—the Portuguese bull stoppers—performed their curious pe-gas—wrestling the bull to astandstill just before the kill—to the great delight of thecrowd. Their inclusion has cer-tainly become a draw in itself;nothing to do with toreo, butundeniably appealing to a sec-tor of the crowd.

Fabian Barba has survivedas a matador due in equal partsto his sold ring craft and stillyouthful zeal, even after morethan 11 years as a full mata-

dor. His career has neverreached more than modestheights; he is included in themajor ferias as an aperitif orfinal act, rarely the main event.None the less, his aficion isfront and center, and his besteffort is a foregone conclusion.

This Sunday was no differ-ent, as Barba demonstrated ef-ficient work with the largecapote to the noble, but veryweak “Centenario” run in 2nd

place. He did everything butsteer the progressively weakerbull through the first two se-ries of muletazos, but that wasall “Centenario” could muster.Subsequent attempts were afrustrating succession of righthanded passes extracted oneby one from a bull no longerable to follow his instinct. A low,but full, sword won an ear,awarded, like Serrano’s, asmuch for Barba’s good inten-tions as his actual work. Hisattempt to greet “Ventanero”,the 5th bull of the day, with akneeling “porta gayola” pass asthe bull made his entrancenearly resulted in a seriouswound, and that was the high-light of the effort. “Ventanero”was an even less enthusiasticparticipant than “Centenario”and Barba spent an inordinateamount of time looking for akey that didn’t exist. Two half-swords, a prolonged wait andtwo descabellos put an end tothe agony.

Barba decided to gift a sev-enth bull, “Presidente” of theBoquilla del Carmen ranch asa way to make up for the frus-

trating afternoon, but as is usualwith “gift” bulls, the generaltone of futility was simply em-phasized, not ameliorated,when an endless attempt at afaena produced nothing memo-rable.

Jose Mauricio is a torero rec-ognized for his elegance andfinesse in working with bulls.His physique and face bring tomind those of a ballet dancer,and his reputation is, perhapsunfairly, as a somewhat frag-ile, less naturally brave, or stoic,torero; one who must have a“special” bull in order to dem-onstrate his great aesthetic.This corrida proved that heisn’t stumped by difficult ani-

mals, and that he is more thana pretty face.

His lot was, by far, the worstof the day, ranging from themortal danger of “Cubetero”who never offered a clean at-tack, rather turning quickly andtossing his—mercifully—shorthorned head from side to side.Mauricio insisted in trying toget something—anything—outof the animal, but was finallyforced to desist, finishing witha magnificent machateo—cut-ting, low passes to position thebull for a Calvary of 4 partswords and a final effort to fin-ish. “Adelito”, a handsomegray, was less dangerous than“Cubetero” only because he

was weaker to begin with.Once again, Mauricio tried togive something worth remem-bering, which turned out to bethe excellent full estocada thatended the regular corrida.

The season now took a oneweek break, until the 17th ofAugust. Dates of August 17,24, and 31 have been an-nounced by Casa Toreros; al-though the combinations forthose events have yet to beformalized. The empresarialgroup did advance that Mex-ico’s number one matador,Joselito Adame, will return toTijuana on August 31, in whatshould be a marvelous after-noon of bulls.

won. But those in power didn’tpermit the change. The peoplestill resist and want a differentgovernment.
