Tuesday, March 17 was pro-claimed “Nathan Odom Day” byCouncilman Todd Gloria. Now,Nathan Odom may not be a house-hold name yet, but it’s one to look outfor. For one, it’s a name that’s defi-nitely got San Diego feeling proud.Mr. Odom, a North Park resident, isFox Network Master Chef Jr.’s lat-est winner. That’s a pretty big deal,specially for a kid his age.

It’s not every day that a 12 yearold has the opportunity to let his tal-ent shine on national television, com-pete with 19 other remarkable juniorchefs, and walk away with $100K.That doesn’t come easy though. Itwas actually a tough task to take onif you ask anyone who watched theshow. To work under the pressure andscrutiny of Chef Gordon Ramsay de-serves an award in itself.

So how was Nathan able to putthese crazy delicious entrees togetheranyway? It turns out the boy’s gottalent. It must be one of those innateskills some genius kids are born with.All takes practice, however. A coupleyears ago, the now Roosevelt MiddleSchool student, participated in theafter school program Scratch, a culi-nary education course that offers in-ner-city elementary school studentsthe opportunity to learn cooking meth-ods extraordinary from what you mayever learn at home, with the addedbonus of cooking with ingredients thatmost kids may not be exposed to at

San Diego’s Master Chef Jr., the Chef Behind the Curtainand the Inspiration They Leave Usthat age.

Since 2009, the program has beenled by Chef Ricardo Heredia, who isno stranger to winning competitionshimself. In November he took the2014 World Food Champion title, ac-companied by $100K, beating out 400other chefs in the kitchen. He alsowon the Big Bite Bacon Fest lastyear and in 2013.

Heredia hasn’t had it as pleasur-able as it sounds though. He comesfrom a rough upbringing, a childhoodthat includes being in and out of fos-ter homes with his three siblings, amother who was incarcerated andjobs that left him with no legal resuméexperience. You’d think that with allodds working against him, he’d endup anywhere but in the kitchen withlittle folk. Moving from one family toanother, however, forced Heredia topick up cooking skills at age six. Heshared the profound emptiness hegrew up with only yearning for some-one to be there to teach him some-thing, anything and why this programis his baby, his newfound love.“Working with kids is important to mebecause I just remember so vividlybeing a child and wanting someoneto teach me something, anything thatwas positive that could have kept meout of trouble and gave me a chanceto be creative and bring a little joy”recalled Heredia.

He further explained the lack ofunity at the table nowadays. Evidently,a joy he was deprived from growingup away from his family. His inten-

tion with Scratch is to also bring fami-lies together “I want people to sitdown and eat together as a family, Ifeel we’re losing that as a society.”This is why students get to cook fortheir parents at the conclusion of thecourse.

When asked how students benefitfrom Scratch, Principal Julie Ashton-Gray of McKinley IB World School

where Nathan attended when he par-ticipated in the program, said “Stu-dents have first hand experienceworking with Chef Ricardo Herediato become familiar with the exper-tise involved in creating exquisitehealthy meals. Chef Ricardo tooktime to get to know the students, andcreated a positive unique learningenvironment at McKinley and in part-

nership with Alchemy restaurant inSouth Park. Students’ culminatingproject was to prepare a first classmeal for their parents at Alchemyalongside Chef Ricardo. This was anincredible experience for all partici-pating students, especially Nathan!!!”

A group of parents and classmatesof the 43 missing students fromGuerrero will make a stop in San Di-ego as part of their trip through theUnited States to tell their side of thestory.

The Caravana 43 will be in SanDiego Monday and Tuesday March23rd and 24th for a series of events,including marches, vigils, and forums.It part of a nationwide caravan di-vided into three groups that will visitcities throughout the U.S. with thegoal of sharing what organizers call“the real story” of what happened inIguala in September of last year,when 43 students from a nearby ru-

Ayotzinapa caravan making a stop in San Diego

ral teachers’ college went missing.“We want the people of the United

States, especially those who are fromGuerrero, to learn directly from us ofwhat is happening in our land,” saidAngel Neri de la Cruz Ayala, who isa student survivor of the Iguala eventsand is the official spokesperson forthe groups travelling through Califor-nia and other West Coast cities.

“We want to invite all of the publicto learn the truth of what happenedthat day, something the Mexican gov-ernment and many news media aretrying to hide,” he said.

For Itzel Osmara Martinez, theCaravana 43 spokesperson in SanDiego, the group’s caravan to the U.S.is important in order to inform the

public about what’s happening inMexico.

“The visit of both parents and bothstudents from Ayotzinapa is essentialto spreading consciousness acrossthe state, and raising awareness tothe narc-government that continu-ously begins to massacre the peopleof Mexico,” Martinez said. “San Di-ego will feel the rage, the energy, thepower, the love, the hurt, and angerlike no other, as we hear the storiesfrom the mother, father, and studentsthemselves, word by word.”

The caravana will have a vigil andcommunity potluck dinner at MountCarmelo Catholic Church in SanYsidro on Monday.

The real reason Texans and touristskeep remembering The Alamo

Historical Perspective

By Andy Porras

In March, many celebrate womenon their month of recognition.

During the same month, Texas alsocelebrates the anniversary of topplingits former Mexican landlords. Few,however, ever put the two dates to-gether. Historically speaking, the so-called Texas independence was, asDr. Fred McGhee, maritime archae-ologist and historical anthropologisttells it, “A myth with many secretsand misunderstandings about a so-called Texas Revolution; one of themore underappreciated aspects be-ing the conflict that was largely arace war, with Anglo Texans securein their self-perception of cultural andintellectual superiority vis-à-visTejanos, Indians and Blacks.”

To add insult to injury, the Angloshandily summed up their prevailing at-titude when they opined that Mexi-cans were “a semi civilized set, unfitto be free and incapable of self-gov-ernment.”

It was during this time that thebattle of The Alamo took place. Then,almost as as quickly as it happened,the site dropped out of sight andmemory from most.

In fact, the now world famous mis-sion chapel visited by millions, almostdidn’t survive to see itself as one ofAmerica’s favorite attractions ofyesteryear. I’m willing to bet that noteven the proudest Texan is aware ofthe story behind the Alamo’s survivalpolitical battle.

If it hadn’t been for one quite re-markable Hispanic/Irish woman, Tex-ans would be a-hooping and a-hollering around a metal flagpole, orat best, one of those ugly and oftenmisleading, historical markers aroundthis time of the year. Yep, that mostprecious historic structure might havebeen replaced by that all-Americanspace known as a paved parking lot!

Welcome Miss Emilia Adina DeZavala, whose grandfather, was noneother than the Texas’ Republic’s firstVice-President. Sr. Lorenzo deZavala (1788-1836). More than likely,Miss Adina got her gumption from,Grandpa de Zavala who was a strongvoice for democracy in Mexico bothbefore and after his motherland’sfreedom from Spain.

Ms De Zavala, teacher, historianand preservationist was born in Har-ris County, Texas, on November 28,1861. She was the daughter of Au-gustine and Julia Tyrrell De Zavala.Miss De Zavala spent her early yearsin Galveston, before moving with herfamily to a ranch near San Antonioaround 1873, researchers tell us.

After the battle at the Alamo, al-most nobody gave the site nor itsbuildings a second thought, or look,for that matter. And that’s when an-other clash ensued.

According to “The Handbook ofTexas Online,” Miss De Zavala, bynow a semi-well known lady aroundSan Antonio, organized a group ofwomen who, like her, discussed andstudied early Texas heroes. Theseladies would become part of the

el Maestro Mario Castel-nuovo-Tedesio, la cual pro-viene del año 1951 y se realizóen Los Angeles.

La obra es un espectáculode un Romancero Gitano,trágico, conmovedor y de unabelleza extraordinaria.

Expresó: Francisco Suárez:“Lorca es un concierto queexpresa a través del flamencoel alma de los gitanos. Un almacargada de historia traída yllevada en el regazo del aire dela alegría y el dolor. Un con-cierto cauto en la vanguardia yvaliente en la tradición. Gitano,y por ello sencillo a la vez quetrascendente, cerrado a lagarganta y abierto al silencioestremecido del corazón”.

“El Romancero Gitano” esuna obra que pertenece algénero literario lírica. Sucontexto está formado por 18poemas de extensión variable,mediante los cuales se renuevala fórmula del viejo romance.Los romances que componenesta obra se encuentran unidospor el estilo y por un mismo hiloconductor temático, única-mente los tres últimos ro-

El mismo Federico GarcíaLorca dijo: “Es mi obra máspopular, la que indudablementetiene más unidad y es dondemi rostro poético aparece conpersonalidad propia, y lo llamogitano, porque el gitano es lomás elevado, lo más profundo,lo más aristocrático de mi país,lo más representativo de sumodo y el que guarda el ascua,la sangre y el alfabeto de laverdad andaluza y universal.”

El contenido de los textos de

cada uno de los poemas queintervienen en este conciertotienen vinculaciones diversas,con la mujer, con la muerte, condistintas emociones, de carácterépico, con diversos símbolos,con concepciones míticas yuniversales de los gitanos.

Se mezclan en el contenidopasiones tales como: envidia,violencia, muerte, amor, fuerza,bravura, melancolía, remem-bran-as, nostalgia, olvido,soledad y otras más.

What’s KillingBaja’s MarineAnimals?By Michael PlattFRONTERA NORTESUR

Dead gray whales and dol-phins. Corpses of sea lions, birdsand sea turtles decomposing onthe beach. Since the beginningof the year, the coasts of BajaCalifornia have been the sceneof multiple discoveries of deadmarine animals.

The latest find was reportedlast week by the Federal At-torney General for Environ-mental Protection (Profepa)near the town of San Felipe.According to the governmentagency, Profepa inspectorsscoured a 75-mile coastal stripafter receiving a phone tipMarch 11. The inspection de-tected 55 dead dolphins and 4sea lions, all of which weredetermined to have died dur-ing a span of approximately oneto three weeks or more.

In an official statement,Profepa said local fishermenhad reported a recent and “un-usual” sighting of more than200 apparently healthy dol-phins.

No visible wounds were ob-served on the animal remains,and Profepa discounted fish-ing nets as a cause of death.Nonetheless, Profepa said itcontacted the Federal Com-mission for Protection againstSanitary Risks in order to fur-ther probe the reasons for themysterious deaths. In mid-January, Profepa documented550 dead sea birds and 4 deadsea lions near San Felipe.

Another zone of mysterysurrounds the Laguna Ojo deLiebre, located in the state ofBaja California Sur, where 150dead sea turtles were discov-ered at the end of January.About two weeks earlier, 14lifeless gray whales (13 babiesand 1 adult) and 16 dead seaturtles were found in the samearea. Moreover, 17 perished seaturtles were discovered in thesame place in January 2014.

Based on previous research,Mexican authorities hypoth-esized that sea turtles, which areprotected species in Mexico,could be succumbing to hypo-thermia triggered by cold frontslashing the Baja California Pen-insula in the winter months. TheNational Commission of Pro-tected Natural Areas blamedthe whale deaths on “naturalcauses,” contending that lost orabandoned baby gray whaleswere dying from lack of nour-ishment.

The first gray whale censusfor the 2014-2015 season inLaguna Ojo de Liebre counted402 animals, including 261adults and 141 babies. The ce-taceans migrate to Baja Cali-fornia from northern Pacificwaters every winter. The

La fusión entre los platillosmexicanos y el vino fue ideade la chef Deborah Scott quienresalta la importancia de darleun giro a las recetas típicas:“Me gusta darle un toque es-pecial e ir mas allá de lo clásico,por qué no acompañar un tamalcon un buen vino en lugar delo que estamos acostumbradosa probar con un tequila o unacerveza”.

Eventos como este son desuma importancia tanto paralos productores de vino, comopara los consumidores de éste,pues se abre una puerta co-mercial en la que se da aconocer los productos y resultamás fácil la comercializaciónsin importar la nacionalidad delvino.

By Mimi Pollack

Is a young man doomed todestiny or can he overcome hisfate? Since the play, OedipusEl Rey, is based on a classicGreek tragedy, Oedipus Rex,we all know what the answerwill be. Nevertheless, this ad-aptation written by acclaimedplaywright, Luis Alfaro, set ina modern Chicano barrio, asksthis age old question.

In this very entertainingplay, Oedipus is born to Jacostaand Laius or El Rey who is theking of the barrio. However,before he is born, a seer or“mistico” has a vision that thebaby will grow up to kill hisfather. After the baby is born,the father cuts his feet. Then,he is whisked away by thefather’s number one hench-man, Tiresias, who cannot bringhimself to kill the baby, soraises him as his own. Lateron, he even goes to prison, sohe can be with Oedipus or“patas malas” as he is known.

After Oedipus is released,he wants to find his place inthe world. However, on hisway to Las Vegas, he gets intoa road rage altercation in LosAngeles, and ends up killingLaius [El Rey]. He needs aplace to stay, and unbeknownstto him, his uncle Creon, hismother’s brother and an old

Doomed to Destiny en el Barrio

friend of Tiresias, invites himto stay at the house where helives with his sister. The invi-tation for one week lasts forthree months as destiny playsitself out. Oedipus meets andfalls in love with Jacosta, andhis fate is sealed.

In Alfaro’s adaptation of theplay, he blends ancient Greekbeliefs with age old Mexicanmystic and superstitious beliefsthat still exist today. Thus, thereare” tecolotes” [owls], “misti-cos” [seers], and “curanderos”[healers].

The talented Lakin Valdez,who looks much younger thanhis age, stars as Oedipus. Heplays him with a sense of in-nocence and at the same timedefiance, wanting to believethat he can overcome his fateand make his own destiny. Healso displays a natural raw sen-suality and grace in the boldand rather graphic nude lovescenes he has with his mother/wife, Jacosta. They sizzle to-gether.

Jacosta is played by MonicaSanchez as a fierce and tragictigress who both mocks andadmires Oedipus’s view oflife. In the end, their mutualattraction and passion doomsthem.

The rest of the talented castbrings their own unique abili-ties to their roles. They all play

multiple parts along with beingpart of the “coro”. The charis-matic and riveting Dave Rivasis a fine mimic and changed hisvoice effectively, depending onwhich role he was playing.Spencer Smith, who also didthe choreography, is a naturalborn dancer and moved aroundthe stage with grace. LeandroCano was appropriately roughand tough as the king of hisbarrio as Jorge Rodriguez was“creido” and brought a swag-ger to his role. Finally, MattOrduna was both tough andtender as the adopted fatherwho wanted a different fatefor Oedipus.

This cross-cultural and in-novative play, directed by SamWoodhouse and presented bythe San Diego REP, will drawyou in and may even shockyou.

Daughters of the Republic ofTexas (DRT) in 1893. It wasMiss De Zavala and her groupwho actually prevented thedestruction of the Alamochapel, after it had been pur-chased from the state by awholesale grocery firm, Hugoand Schmeltzer Company. Butbefore the ink had dried on thehistoric document, Miss DeZavala obtained a verbalpromise from the companythat her chapter of the DRTwould be given the first chanceto purchase the entire Alamoproperty.

Here again we need to re-member that the Alamo did notlook the way it does today.Most of the identifying part ofthe chapel, the step-and-archprofile that’s known the worldover, was built by the U.S.Corps of Engineers in the1840s.

When the Texas joined theUnited States, the chapel andthe rest of the Alamo’s wallswere in shambles. By the timethe Corps arrived, they werein need of warehouse space tostore grain and supplies. Thus,Uncle Sam turned the Alamointo a storage area and had thewalls rebuilt then they re-roofedit. So what people see todayisn’t what was there in 1836,the year the Alamo fell.

Miss De Zavala attractedthe attention of wealthy Texan,Clara Driscoll, who joined theDRT and De Zavala’s groupof preservationists. Ms Dris-coll, who had inherited an un-told amount of real-estatemoney, soon purchased theproperty from the grocery firmto prevent it from falling intothe hands of another group, an“eastern syndicate.” Finally in1905, the Texas legislature au-thorized the state to purchase

the property from Driscoll andcustody was turned over to theDRT.

Two ladies, one a well trav-eled and well-to-do, the othera well educated and a prouddecedent of an early Texashero had different philosophiesand personalities, soon clashed.Once again, the Alamo servedas background for a conflict.

Ms. Driscoll insisted thatpart of the old Hugo andSchmeltzer building, had beenbuilt long after the famous battlein 1836, therefore it needed tobe taken down. Miss De Zavalaopposed her friend’s action, asher research indicated that thebuilding was part of a structureknown as the “long barracks”which would be of great histori-cal value in the future.

Researchers discovered,much after all this took place,that Miss De Zavala’s deter-mination paid off as that sec-tion of the Alamo grounds iswhere much of the fightingtook place in the legendarybattle, not in front of thechapel.

This facade is part of theromanticized and Hollywood-ized versions that groups likethe Texas State Textbook Com-mittee love to fling at Texaschildren to perpetuate the dis-torted version of Texas His-tory.

The Driscoll group, how-

ever did win several decisionsin state court against Miss DeZavala, but it still didn’t deterthis granddaughter of a patriotfrom fighting for what she be-lieved to be right.

In 1908, Miss De Zavalabarricaded herself inside theAlamo’s north barrack forthree days to protest its demo-lition. In an article about her,the writer points out that shebelieved that the section sheprotected from its demise wasof more historical value thanthe chapel - the site that tour-ists take pictures of daily to telltheir friends that they’ve beento the Alamo.

Our bicultural heroine didwhatever she thought wasnecessary to safeguard herbeloved piece of Texas His-tory. She even took residencenext door! Well, almost nextdoor.

Records show that MissDe Zavala lived at the MengerHotel from 1926 to 1932. Ifyou’ve ever visited the AlamoPlaza in downtown San Anto-nio, you may have noticed theproximity of both structures.

So when they toast Texas’independence, its battles and itshistoric landmarks, I hope theyremember to say !Gracias! toMiss Adina de Zavala for re-membering (and preserving)the Alamo.

Scratch was a first class learn-ing opportunity for its participat-ing students and “On behalf ofthe entire McKinley Commu-nity, I am so proud of Nathanand thrilled at his fantasticachievement. I watched the lasttwo episodes on pins andneedles and can’t wait to con-gratulate him in person. He is astudent of exceptional charac-ter and committed to alwaysdoing his best! Bravo Nathan!

She’s not the only one con-gratulating Nathan Odom,Councilman Todd Gloria ex-pressed “Nathan has an earlystart to a bright future in hiscareer, he is an example.”About the culinary programGloria showed nothing but posi-tive support towards it, sayinghe believes “This is somethingthat adds an additional dimen-sion to learning, it’s not justabout reading and writing -which are both very important-but it’s also about providing lifeskills that transition to a brightfuture and potential careers.”

San Diego is most definitelygoing through a major bloom-ing phase and the hospitalityindustry is budding astonish-ingly. To see potential in chil-dren as young as Nathan is apromising inspiration. More so,to know the story of the guybehind programs like Scratchis touching and can make any-one want to get up and dosomething. Heredia showedhumbleness when asked abouthis contribution to Nathan’sabilities in the kitchen. “I fol-lowed the competition keenly.I think his experience in theMckinley kitchen and in our fi-

nal class in my kitchen at therestaurant was impactful for allthe students and that comfort-ability helped. Nathan is a verycomposed and talented youngman and all the credit deservesto go to him for his accomplish-ments” said Heredia of hisalumni.

The program is scheduled tostart up again in a couplemonths as the educational di-vision to Heredia’s businessKM (Kitchen Mafioso) Con-sulting. Interested students areasked to write an essay ex-plaining why they want to join

the class, from a pool of about30 students, Heredia tries togive the ones with less oppor-tunity the first shot at the tenstudent class.

From each class, ChefRicardo Heredia hopes stu-dents benefit by “…[getting] abetter understanding of foods,where they come from and thehistory behind them. The sci-ence behind what is happen-ing to our food [as] we cook it.A understanding of taste andsmell and how it relates but thebiggest push is to get us to cookwith our children more.”

Mis mercados favoritosCuando mi familia llegó a los

Estados Unidos procedente deMéxico hace más de 20 años,una de las cosas que másextrañábamos era el mercadodominical sobre ruedas: lamagia de los colores y texturas,el bullicio de olores y el calorhumano de los vendedores dela plaza invitándote a saborearsus productos frescos y saluda-bles.

Aún recuerdo como si fueraayer a mi madre escogiendocuidadosamente los chiles y lostomates, las papayas y lassandías, oliendo las ramitas deepazote y cilantro, y recibiendoprobaditas de queso blanco ycacahuates hervidos. Siempreque visito mi pueblo no mepierdo ni la barbacoa, ni lasquesadillas de papa con maízmorado en la plaza dominical.

Afortunadamente ya notengo que viajar miles de millaspara regresar al mundo de miinfancia. En los últimos añoshan proliferado por todo estepaís los mercados agrícolas,conocidos como “FarmersMarkets”, que son apoyadospor organizaciones sin fines delucro. Yo tengo uno a mialcance que visito con mi fa-milia.

No son lo mismo que enMéxico. No hay cacerolas conchicharrones, ni regateo deprecios, pero tienen algo encomún: comida fresca deproductores locales, muchosque hablan español, y conofertas a precios razonables.

La mayoría acepta estampillasde comida y cupones de losbeneficiarios del ProgramaEspecial de Nutrición Suple-mentaria para Mujeres, In-fantes y Niños (WIC) o partici-pan en un programa donde lasmadres de familia reciben undólar de cupones del mercadopor cada dólar gastado conbeneficios de bienestar social.

La experiencia de los mer-cados agrícolas o FarmersMarkets va más allá de unreencuentro con la nostalgia ytiene que ver con el bienestarde nuestras familias. Si hace-mos un inventario de nuestradespensa doméstica o refri-gerador, seguramente tenemosmás enlatados y comidasprocesadas de las que debe-ríamos. No hay duda que esetipo de alimentos son de rápidapreparación y convenientes.¿Pero son saludables?

Hace poco leí un estudiosobre los niveles de obesidade hipertensión entre los traba-jadores agrícolas de California,la abrumadora mayoría de los

cuales son mexicanos. Es unode los trabajos más duros y conhorarios más demandantes, porlo que los padres de familiarecurren a la comida rápida.Sería una doble tragedia quesigamos el mismo camino sitenemos al alcance alimentosfrescos y sanos. Casi siemprelo barato, sale caro.

Así que es hora de revivir anuestra manera la experienciade plaza dominical o el mer-cado sobre ruedas. Segura-mente encontrarás allí a ami-gos o vecinos, y es una buenamanera de transmitir a nues-tros hijos el valor de la comidasana y fresca. Busca el mer-cado más cercano a tu casa yconviértelo en una aventuragastronómica familiar. ¡Pro-vecho!Para localizar un mercadoagrícola local, o “FarmersMarket”, visita LaRedHispana.com

If the voter has moved andthe U.S. Postal Service has aforwarding address on record,the postcards will be forwardedto the new address.

Voters will be asked to re-ply back to the Registrar’s of-fice if they want to remain onactive status. If they fail to re-turn the postcard, they’ll beplaced on inactive status.

“It means they are still eli-gible to vote, but they will notbe receiving any election ma-

Postcards are expected tobegin showing up in mailboxesthis week. Another batch ofabout 145,000 will be mailed inApril to voters who have notvoted in four years. The Regis-trar’s office must properlymaintain voter rolls in accor-dance with the National VoterRegistration Act and state law.The mailings will also give amore accurate picture of thevoter population in the Countyand better accuracy when itcomes to actual voter turnout.

Currently, the Registrar has1.56 million registered voterson its active list but expects tosee that number drop by nearly180,000 people.

If an inactive voter wishesto get back to active status,they must have some kind ofinteraction with the Registrar’soffice. For example, sign a pe-

tition or vote.“For some of these voters,

there is a clock that is ticking,”said Vu. “If they don’t haveany election activity in two fed-eral general elections, a timeperiod of approximately 4years, we have the ability toremove them off the voter rollscompletely.”

Voters can also be removedfrom both the active and inac-tive lists if they cancel theirregistration or if the Registrar’soffice receives an officialdocument confirming the voterhas registered in anothercounty or has died.

The Registrar’s office main-tains the voter rolls on a routinebasis to keep them up to date.

Although most Americanslearned about the unaccompa-nied minors last summer whena record number of childrenfrom Central American madetheir way to the U.S., reality isthat these defenseless childrenhave been fleeing violence intheir home countries for years.

And since 2001, a non-profitlaw center in San Diego hasbeen helping them navigate theU.S. legal system, and hasgiven them a voice when theyhave none.

Casa Cornelia Law Center’sChildren’s Program is a uniqueprogram that provides direct le-gal services to unaccompaniedchildren including legal adviceand representation thanks tovolunteer lawyers and otherstaff, according to CarmenChavez, the center’s executivedirector.

“The children whom weserve and are detained by im-migration authorities are placedin removal Immigration Courtproceedings and face defen-sive processes,” she said.“They are held to the samestandard as adult and althoughthey are children, they do nothave a right to appointedcounse. It’s very frightful forthem. We stand with the chil-dren to provide them with ori-entation, advice and represen-tation.”

To help Casa Cornelia con-tinue its Children’s Program agroup of madrinas from thecommunity will host a Tar-deada fundraiser on Sunday,March 22nd, from 1 p.m. to 4p.m. at the Centro Cultural dela Raza.

The event will feature livemusic, food, and ballet folk-lorico.

“The Tardeada is a result ofconscientious and generousmujeres from the communitywho have committed them-

selves who have heeded thecall for help,” Chavez said.“They understood that one ofthe first things theses childrenwill need, is an attorney to ad-vocate for them and look outfor their best interest. In or-der to provide critical pro bonolegal services, Casa Corneliarelies on the generosity of thecommunity and that is why thisevent is so important.”

These women have formedthe Children’s Support Com-mittee of San Diego to continuesupporting the unaccompaniedchildren.

Carmen Lopez is one of thecommittee’s coordinators. Shesaid that in the past, Europeanand Jewish children fled WorldWar II and came to the UnitedStates. Lopez said that the vio-lence Mexican and CentralAmerican children face backhome is no different.

“We all must step up to theplate to help children living inviolence and being victimizedby the rampart tragedies oc-curring in their countries by nofault of their,” she said. “Wemust stop blaming the victims.”

Funding for the Children’sProgram comes from a vari-ety of sources, but the major-ity of it comes from private con-tributions and fundraisers like

the Tardeada, Chavez said.If Casa Cornelia Law Cen-

ter didn’t help these children,most likely they would be de-ported back to their homecountries, where they wouldface an uncertain future.

“Without our help, these chil-dren would be unable to presenttheir case to an immigrationjudge and would be forced toreturn,” Chavez said.

The Tardeada is a chancefor the community-at-large tosupport these children, and toadvocate on their behalf.

“Those who are able to at-tend the tardeada will be sup-porting all of the children thatseek safety within our borders,”Chavez said. “The long-termeffect of legal representation onthese children is life changing.Some will be spared from de-portation, no longer suffer fromabuse, neglect and poverty, andwill have an opportunity to livea safe, productive life. Eventu-ally these children will enjoy thebenefits of citizenship, includingthe opportunity to obtain an edu-cation.”

President Obama’s upcoming trip to Panamafor the Summit of The Americas on April 10-11, 2015, offers a considerable opportunity aswell as a significant danger.

The opportunity could come from a desireto further establish the lineaments of a newU.S. approach to Latin America— one that ismore multilateral and expresses American val-ues through an acceptance of pluralism andpolitical diversity rather than cultivate the para-digm of imperiously imposing U.S. animus willon a recalcitrant set of partners.

The danger is that Washington’s now unre-stricted animus against the government ofNicolás Maduro in Venezuela will be seen asbeing worthy of undermining this new agendaand invoking U.S. policy back to former, to-tally ossified posture which was heightened bythe White House’s March 9 executive order,targeting specific individuals associated withthe Venezuelan government for sanctions, andemploying hyperbolic rhetoric, casting Venezu-ela as an “unusual and extraordinary threat tothe national security and foreign policy of theUnited States.”

The surprising opening to Havana announcedlast December was thought to heavily revolu-tionize U.S. policy in the region; it certainly hasat least provided an opening repositioning thelong-tattered and heavily frayed image of theU.S. among its American neighbors. AssistantSecretary of State for Western HemisphereAffairs Roberta Jacobson had clarified that shewished the preliminary work for the reopeningof U.S. and Cuban embassies in Havana andWashington to be completed and touched upby the time the Summit begins. Thus, if thepath had been followed, the U.S. would havehad a showplace for its revitalized approach toan issue bound to be prominently visible at theconclave’s inauguration.

The Obama administration, though, nowfaces the problem of pressures coming fromthe right, particularly from those who feel Cuba’soutreach, which had been a force for capitula-tion for the government of Raül Castro, attendedby a muffling of social concerns over such per-sistent questions as human rights and trans-parency. This is no doubt regarding the originof the sentiments, starting from that of thePresident himself at a December 17 press con-ference where he announced Washington’srestoration of ties with Cuba, but not the full-blown relaxation; the Summit would now beable to stress democracy and adherence tohuman rights, but in addition to one thing toanother. This was compounded by additionalrhetoric to be found in the March 9 executiveorder by the White House, which stated “Weare committed to advancing respect for humanrights, safeguarding democratic institutions, andprotecting the U.S. financial system from theillicit financial flows from public corruption inVenezuela.”

There is legitimate need for a more earneststep-up for an advanced discussion of civil so-ciety and aforementioned long sought-aftertransparency in the Americas had been guar-anteed, which will carry with it the additionaldiplomatic burden of covering territory wheredifferent personnel will have to negotiate invarious ways and will not in and of itself beable to provoke a dramatic dispute among theparticipants at the summit.

Unfortunately this agenda threatens to bepoliticized in a negative way by the growingtension between the U.S. and the Maduro gov-ernment. Caracas has recently made severaldeclarative statements against the U.S. diplo-matic presence in Venezuela. On March 2,Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodríguezannounced that the U.S. had been ordered toslash its Embassy staff in Caracas to only sev-enteen people. The previous weekend, Madurohad claimed to detain no less than severalAmerican spies, though these have neither been

named for verified. It is also certainly possibleto overreact to the grave Venezuelan moves,or to interpret them disproportionately. TheObama administration’s executive order ofMarch 9 certainly qualifies as such a dispro-portionate response.

In the decade and a half since the ascent ofthe late Hugo Chávez to power in Venezuela,there have been many moments of high or lowtheater and embarrassing rodomontade in thetroubled U.S.-Venezuelan relationship. This com-ing April, the Summit of the Americas in Panamamust be seen by the White House as a seriousvenue. By overly prosecuting a zealous anti-Caracas agenda, the U.S. is in danger of squan-dering the small amount of good will that it hasaccumulated as a result of the long-desired buttactically unexpected, December opening fromCuba’s aperture. There is no doubt that the U.S.,in spite of reality, no doubt sees Cuba and Ven-ezuela as barely separate cases.

Yet Cuba is no longer on the table for Wash-ington to appeal to a Miami audience, nor isthe Venezuelan exile population large enoughto be taken seriously as a political force in thenear future. And the U.S., with no existing eco-nomic ties because of long-established embargo,desires a consequential piece of the comingprofits. Venezuela, with whom the U.S. hasalways had sensible diplomatic and political ties,houses the single most densely populated oilreserve and is already a part of the contempo-rary world economy. The country exerts a de-gree of power due to its oil supply despite fluc-tuation of market prices. Furthermore, eventhough there exists a decided and, in some sec-tors of the society, popular opposition to theMaduro regime, both Chávez and now Madurohave, unlike the Castro brothers, been affirmedrepeatedly by one variant democratic processor another. The current Venezuelan leadershave a broadly accepted political legitimacy asfreely elected representatives of their peoplethat the Castro brothers never had.

Even those Latin Americans—and there aremany—who take a bemused or even skepticalview of the Chávez-Maduro regimen, do not inany form want Washington to challenge themor complain that it at times acts like a bully oran ideological monitor. All Latin Americans arehardly in accordance with social policies oraspire towards Caracas-like political model.They wish that any change in Venezuela evolvesorganically and not be triggered as a result ofU.S. pressure. Even those countries that havebeen critical of Venezuela do not wish to beseen as engaging in subversion or to be ac-tively involved in intrudes to delegate or weakenMaduro.

With policy toward Latin America now hav-ing unshackled itself from the millstone of theCuban embargo, it would be sad if a new Ven-ezuelan bogeyman were to assume its place.The Summit of the Americas in Panama Cityshould advance genuine shared policy goals andtake advantage of the opportunity generatedby the Cuban opening, not simply replay out-dated and tired antagonistic scenarios.

Latin America wants to talk about the envi-ronment, global and regional financial policy,the maintenance of fair prices for resources,and help in making the necessary transition tomodern societies without falling under a newwave of financial imperialism fostered byneoliberal forces. The question is whether theU.S. will shove these apt subjects off the pettyproscenium of a contrived crusade againstVenezuela.

on Eve of Panama Summit

The conversation on race in our country ischanging. Once a subject left to be discussedby civil rights leaders, organizers and a fewnon-profits, race is now a topic for many.Names like Renisha McBride, Trayvon Mar-tin, Eric Garner, and so many more have led towidespread conversations on race. The numer-ous anniversaries marking milestones of theCivil Rights Movement and, yes, that the Presi-dent IS Black also factor in to discussions aboutthe role race and racism play in our society.

This week, we saw a relatively new entrantinto the discussion: Starbucks, in a partnershipwith USA Today. Starbucks has committed tosocially conscious practices in the past includ-ing hiring vets, banning open weapons in theirstores, and supporting gay marriage. A publicdialog on race is new for Starbucks. While weapplaud Starbucks for their effort to engage atopic that many seek to avoid, and while theirefforts seem well intentioned, we, as a nationalracial justice organization, with a name similarto the hashtag used in the campaign feel com-pelled to say: As a nation, we need more.

Race Forward is unique in the racial justiceworld. While many organizations focus on theneeds of a particular group, we are a multira-cial organization that considers how race in-tersects with many different factors, includingeconomic status, sexual orientation, and gen-der; we address race in many issue areas in-cluding employment, education and police bru-tality, to name a few. We also publish Colorlines,a daily news site where race matters, featur-ing award-investigative reporting and newsanalysis.

We produce cutting edge, original researchon pressing racial justice issues. We presenttrainings that offer to help individuals and or-ganizations identify solutions to systemic rac-ism. Finally, we produce Facing Race, a bien-nial conference that is the largest multiracial,multi-issue gathering of racial justice advocatesin the country.

Effective conversations on race aregrounded in the understanding that racial dis-crimination isn’t just, or even mostly, about whathappens among individuals. It is about what

On its fifth anniversary, the secret ofObamacare is that it’s working.

The Affordable Care Act, signed into lawon March 23, 2010, is doing preciselywhat it was supposed to do: provide healthcoverage to millions of Americans whodidn’t have it and couldn’t afford it.

The numbers are stark. At the end ofthe third quarter of 2013, just before en-rollment started under the act, 18 per-cent of Americans lacked health insur-ance, according to Gallup. This translatedinto more than 46 million people withscant access to health care. By the endof 2014, the uninsured portion of theU.S. population dropped to just 12.9 per-cent. That’s still too high, but it’s the bestin years.

The rates of health coverage for Ameri-cans have improved across the board, butthey’ve increased the most for thegroups that have had it worst. For Afri-can-Americans, the uninsured segmentdropped from 20.9 percent to 13.9 per-cent in just one year, while for Latinos itdropped from 38.7 percent to 32.4 per-cent. Looked at by income, those mak-ing less than $36,000 per year made thebiggest gains, with the uninsured sharefor them dropping nearly 7 percentagepoints.

But these gains have been spread un-evenly. The states that embraced the newlaw—setting up their own health insur-ance marketplaces and expanding Med-icaid—have seen the biggest gains.

We’ve seen this firsthand here in Cali-fornia, which has led the nation in imple-mentation, helping more than 2 millionpeople gain health insurance in the act’s

first year. But states that didn’t set uptheir own marketplaces and didn’t expandMedicaid deprived their citizens of manyof these gains. By mid-2014, accordingto Gallup, the states that embraced theAffordable Care Act made nearly twiceas much progress in cutting the unin-sured rate as those that didn’t.

The difference was dramatic. Everysingle one of the ten states with the larg-est drops were those that expanded Med-icaid and established a state-based healthmarketplace or joined a state-federalpartnership, according to Gallup.

Ah, but isn’t the law breaking the bank?No. According to a new report from theCongressional Budget Office, the law’scosts are running less than expected be-cause health insurance premiums aren’trising as fast as they did before healthcare reform.

Obamacare is not perfect. It doesn’tcover everyone, and in a country aswealthy as ours, that’s a disgrace. And itdepends too much on private health in-surance, a system rife with waste anddysfunction.

But while not a perfect law, the Afford-able Care Act is a good law. If Congressever succeeds in repealing it or if theSupreme Court cuts the heart out of it(as could happen later this year), millionsof Americans will suffer for no reason.

Obamacare is working, and familiesacross America are better off as a result.

GUEST EDITORIAL:

At Five Years Old, Obamacare Is Unevenand Incomplete—But It’s Working

An open letter to Starbucks and USA Todayhappens as a result of systems.

For example, if we consider that Fergusonwas about an altercation between an unarmedteen and a police officer, we miss the opportu-nity to consider the entire picture. If, instead,we understand the shooting of Michael Brownas a result of a pattern of racially biased prac-tices by law enforcement and the municipalityof Ferguson, then we can identify policies andpractices that truly change relations betweenresidents and police.

As we uncover in our report, “Moving theRace Conversation Forward”, too often ournational discourse forces us to focus on indi-vidual issues. The result? We remain stuck ina circular discussion that generally consists ofaccusation and defense, with few solutions tobe found.

We agree with Starbucks and USA Todaythat conversations about race can be construc-tive and rewarding, and that they are neces-sary. But just any old conversation won’t do.

A conversation that leads to something otherthan frustration requires preparation, a systemsanalysis, and potential solutions that reach be-yond changing individual mindsets or behavior.We have to address the rules that govern ourinstitutions and shape our lives — many ofwhich appear to be race-neutral in their inten-tion, but are far from neutral in their impact.Luckily, Race Forward has plenty of resourcesfor digging into exactly these issues.

I have heard some say, “Any conversationshould be welcomed; even if it’s not great, it’sOK.” To that, my response is, “Communitiesof color have had to accept “OK” for far toolong.

Just as Starbucks and USA Today strive forexcellence in the way they approach coffeeand journalism, those of us who are committedto racial justice are similarly committed to ex-cellence.

Communities who are the targets of racismdeserve more than “OK” and our collectivedemocratic ideals of fairness and inclusion de-mand more from all of us. Let us not settle forwhat is simply “OK” when we have full infor-mation on what can create lasting change.

Commentary/Opinion Page

Por Maribel Hastings

El concepto de compasión del pastor MikeHuckabee parece estar un tanto torcido olimitado. El sábado, en una cumbre agrícola enIowa, estado donde arranca el proceso deselección de nominados presidenciales,Huckabee declaró que quiere “frenar la ola degente que llega porque escucharon que hay untazón (bowl) de comida al cruzar la frontera”.No un plato, un tazón (bowl).

No es lo que uno esperaría escuchar de unpastor, pero este reverendo es uno de losaspirantes a la nominación presidencialrepublicana que sigue el ritual de su partido deapelar a la base más conservadora con durasposturas en inmigración y en otros asuntos quequizá los ayuden a ganar una asamblea popu-lar (caucus) o una primaria; pero de nada lesirven en la elección general cuando tienen queapelar a moderados, independientes y a otrossectores electorales, incluyendo a los latinos.

Huckabee parece olvidar que el sectoragrícola de este país depende en gran medidade mano de obra indocumentada. Según elNational Agricultural Workers Survey delDepartamento del Trabajo, 75% de lostrabajadores agrícolas en Estados Unidos sonextranjeros, específicamente mexicanos, 23%son nacidos en Estados Unidos y 2% soncentroamericanos. Mucho más de la mitad sonindocumentados y siguen enfrentando una delas peores condiciones laborales en el país.

Como gobernador de Arkansas, Huckabeeapoyó que los jóvenes indocumentados pagaranmatrícula universitaria al mismo nivel que losresidentes del estado. También ha sugerido quelos jóvenes indocumentados DREAMers debentener una vía a la regularización.

Pero ante audiencias conservadoras les pareceapropiado recurrir al libreto que demuestre quiénes el más rudo de los rudos aunque termineofendiendo a los padres, familiares y conocidosde los mismos DREAMers que dicen quererayudar, y a ese sector de votantes latinos paraquienes la inmigración es tema definitorio.

En el desfile de potenciales aspirantesrepublicanos por la cumbre agrícola, el exgobernador de Florida, Jeb Bush, volvió a salirsedel libreto republicano y enfrentar a la base alreiterar que los 11 millones de indocumentados

no serán deportados y es necesario concederlesuna vía a la legalización.

“Los inmigrantes que están aquí necesitanuna vía al estatus legal. Nadie que yo conozcatiene un plan para lidiar con la inmigraciónindocumentada que no sea decir que seránacorralados y sacados (del país)”, dijo Bush.

Pero al mismo tiempo trató de acercarse a lamisma base diciendo lo que quieren oír en con-tra de las acciones ejecutivas migratorias. Segúnla publicación The Hill, Bush dijo que “lo primeroque hay que hacer es cambiar de presidente.Un presidente que derogue las accionesejecutivas... el presidente ha utilizado unaautoridad que no tiene para ir más allá de loque ningún otro presidente ha hecho”.

Posteriormente, Bush fue abordado, enespañol, por una DREAMer, e insistió en suoposición a las acciones ejecutivas porqueactuar por decreto es “ser como un dictadorlatinoamericano”.

Lo que se requiere, afirmó, es una leypermanente porque las acciones ejecutivas sontemporales. A los DREAMers, agregó, “hayque darles prioridad de ser ciudadanos pero porla ley, no por decreto”.

De lanzar su precandidatura, desconozco siBush sobrevivirá o no la primaria republicanacon posturas contrarias a la base conservadora.Quizá esté apostando a su teoría de “perder laprimaria para ganar la elección general”.Obviamente quien pierde la primaria no es elnominado, pero Bush está enviando un mensajeal sector republicano hambriento de un triunfopresidencial desde 2008 de que sólo apelandoa la base no se ganan elecciones presidenciales.

Tampoco sé si la relación entre los latinos yel Partido Republicano es reparable, pero unavez más, esa colectividad deberá escoger en-tre su deseo de volver a pisar la Casa Blanca oen seguir apaciguando a la base con candidatosque enarbolan la bandera de la religión y hablande “compasión” y valores familiares que síterminan en el Río Grande. Aquellos que cuandose sientan a saborear su tazón de comidaolvidan que lo que consumen seguramente fuepizcado, procesado. preparado o servido pormanos inmigrantes.

La “compasión” republicana y el tazónde comida By Gustavo Arellano

SPECIAL BEST-OF EDITION

Dear Mexican: Why do wabs,regardless of age and body size, alwayshave one hand rubbing their belliesunder their shirts? Is this somethingthat is inherent in all wabs? Becausethey all do it, especially the “fresh fromthe border” ones. I don’t get it. I’m apocho, and I’ve never seen otherpochos do it. Are wabs finger-bangingtheir belly buttons or what? They alllook so fucking stupid doing this. Justgo to Home Depot and watch them.!

Pocho with Albóndigas Grandes

Dear Pocho: What’s with the panzahate? In previous eras, girth was a sign ofbounty and promise—I’m thinking SantaClaus, William Howard Taft and the EarthMother. That’s still the case in Mexico: nextto a broom-thick mustache and a gray Fordtruck, a glorious, well-rounded stomach isour ultimate proof of machismo. A panza’slayers of fat fuel our insatiable work ethic; itsorbital shape is a testament to the wives wekeep in kitchens at home. Gabachos mightwork out, but taut muscles cannot competewith the centripetal force of a panza. Kidsflock to it; crowds stare in jealousy when amagnificent specimen passes by. So whenwe rub our panzas, we pat the lardedtreasure that brings us success, popularityand prosperity—recall how Buddhistsmassage Siddhartha’s plump belly for luck.And, in an amazing coincidence, TheravadaBuddhists celebrate a mid-July holidaycalled Khao Pansa, where the faithful live inmonasteries for three months and concludewith a gluttonous festival of food—all in thename of expanding that sweet, sweet panza.

Not long ago, I attended a Los Tigresdel Norte concert at a small hall with nodance floor. The people attending weresupposed to sit down and enjoy themusic. Five minutes into the music,these jumping beans started dancing inthe aisle. Within minutes, half of theattendees were going up and down theaisles dancing to the music. It’s not thefirst time I’ve seen Mexicans create

improvised dancefloors. Why doMexicans lovedancing so much?

Lambada Louie

Dear Gabaho:Anyone who needs to ask why peopledance to Los Tigres del Norte—the norteñosupergroup that combines traditional polkabeats with socially conscious lyrics to createsomething that’s part Clash, part LawrenceWelk and puro mexicano—has no soul oris a gabacho. How can you not sway totheir metronomic bass, their lush accordiontrills, their canned sound effects, memberHernán Hernández’s mexcelente Mexi-mullet? Mexican music is among the mostdanceable outside Brazil because itspractitioners understand that nalga-shakingstirs humanity into the realm of ecstasy.Almost all the genres that constituteMexican popular music—theaforementioned norteño, the brass-bandstrut of banda sinaloense, son jarocho’stwinkling harps and guitars, even the darkriffs of Mexican heavy metal—put the focuson rhythms rather than lyrics (the exceptionis ranchera, the domain of drunkards andmacho pussy men).

But dancing for Mexicans is more than amere physical act. Every hallmark momentin Mexican society centers on dances—weddings, baptisms, informal gatherings,birthdays, anniversaries. More noteworthyare the dances held by hometown benefitassociations that raise billions of dollars forthe rebuilding of villages in Mexico. Tellingly,Mexican society does not consider girls andboys to be women or men until they begin todance. Once they’re eligible to dance,Mexicans are eligible to take care of theircommunity, too. Mexicans know thatdancing solidifies trust, creates community,repairs the injured civic and personal soul.Besides, it’s a great way for Mexicanadolescents to grope each other in a parent-approved environment.

Rodner Figueroa, ex conductor de la CadenaUnivisión, dice que no es racista a pesar dehaber hecho comentarios peyorativos contraMichelle Obama, esposa del Presidente yPrimera Dama de la nación. ¡Qué atrevimiento!

Asimismo, Lily Estefan, conductora delprograma “El gordo y la flaca”, y su compañeroRaúl de Molina aseguraron que Figueroa notiene prejuicios raciales porque uno de susprogenitores pertenece a la etnia afro-americana. ¡Qué equivocación!

“…tildarlo de racista es ridículo. Rodner esalguien que se burla de sí mismo. Para el queno lo sepa, su padre es negro”, manifestó laflaca Estefan.

Los tres, Figueroa, Estefan y de Molina, nose dan cuenta que el hecho de que una per-sona tenga ascendencia “negra” no quiere decirque no puede sufrir de racismo contra su propiagente.

Es decir, una persona afrodescendiente, comouna gran parte de mulatos en Haití o en Brasil,tienen serios prejuicios raciales contra su propiogrupo étnico. En este mismo orden de ideas,uno de los casos más conocidos en nuestro países el de Lupe Moreno de la Ciudad de SantaAna, California. No obstante de ser México-americana, Moreno es igual o más virulentaque los propios europeos-norteamericanos con-tra la población latina.

A esta forma de racismo –aquel que acosa asu propia etnia— sociológicamente se la conocecomo “discriminación estructural”. El periodistaAgustín Gurza, quien escribió columnas pormuchos años para el periódico Los ÁngelesTimes, destacó a este tipo de discriminacióncomo la forma más desarrollado del racismo.“Hace que las víctimas se detesten así mismos”,dijo.

En otras palabras, las estructuras sociales,como la religión, la educación, la política,economía, costumbres, cultura, el diario vivirde la gente, etc., son tan dominantes alrededordel individuo que no le permite decidir por símismo. Es decir, la persona actúa en formairracional.

A fines de la década de 1990, después de ladictadura de Hugo Banzer Suarez, se reiniciaronlas primeras elecciones bolivianas. Entre loscandidatos a la presidencia se encontraba, lamovimientista Domitila Chungara, una indígenaAymara-minera que fue muy crítica del régimenautoritario de Banzer Suarez.

Muchos bolivianos indígenas y mestizos no

votaron por Chungara en las elecciones por elsimple hecho de era una mujer Aymara y, porconsiguiente, no tenía la capacidad de liderar alos bolivianos. Incluso, algunos indígenas de supropia etnia sintieron vergüenza por el hechode que iba a representar a los bolivianos enfórum internacionales a lado de políticosdestacados y aparentemente más “civilizados”.

Por supuesto que hoy Bolivia ha cambiadoradicalmente después de la “revolución”indígena y puso como presidente a Evo “Mo-rales”. Las estructuras de hoy son muydiferentes a las del pasado en este país.

Actualmente muchas mujeres no votan poruna candidata de su género en eleccionespresidenciales o un puesto político importanteporque creen que “las mujeres no son tan aptascomo los hombres a la hora de tomar decisiones”.La anterior creencia es un caso típico de unapersona afectada por estructuras socialesdiscriminatorias.

En consecuencia, en el momento en que hizouna comparación de Michelle Obama con unode los personajes del Planeta de los Simios,Rodner Figueroa nunca pensó que talescomentarios eran racistas. Sintió que era nor-mal hablar de esa manera. En ese mundo, ahídonde también transitan Estefan y de Molina,este tipo de comentarios racistas son parteinmanente del diario vivir de esta gente.Paradójicamente, todos ellos son víctimas deese mundo mundano y racista.

Racismo estructural

If what I believe is true, that the leaders ofStarbucks and USA Today really want the na-tion to race together, we offer the opportunityto partner with Race Forward. There are somany things that we can do – together indeed– to move our country toward racial justiceand unity.

We’d be happy to discuss it over coffee,and the morning paper.

REQUESTING BIDS

By Mark Schwarz

The corrida to honor legendary Tijuanataurine critic Valeriano Salceda, “Giraldes”originally scheduled for Sunday, March 1, wasrained out. It has been reprogrammed for thisSunday, March 22, at 4:00 pm, reflecting the day-light savings time hour change. The card—some-what miraculously—remains the same; Frenchsuperstar Sebastian Castella, who makes alightning return from the opening of the Spanishseason in Castellon de la Plana and a resoundingtriumph with the bull “Juncoso” of the Nunez deCuvillo ranch in the third corrida of the famous“Fallas” fair in Valencia, joins Tijuana artistAlejandro Amaya¸and Mexico City triunfadorOctavio Garcia, “El Payo”.

The trio will face a very serious herd of bullsfrom the famous Los Encinos ranch ofQueretaro. Worth noting is Los Encinos’ ex-cellent showing in Guadalajara, the same March1 date of the “Giraldes” affair, where three ofthe six animals run for Alejandro Talavante,Joselito Adame and Juan Pablo Sanchez, wereapplauded in the arrastre following their respec-tive performances, and one was given a slowturn of the ring to acknowledge his superiorbravery and fighting style.

Los Encinos has become something of a ref-erence point for the Mexican cabana brava—consistently presenting animals of irreproach-able physique (five year old animals are notunusual) and excellent style. Casa Toreros andyoung empresario Andres Lujan Valladolid haverestructured seating and prices for thiscorrida—perhaps a sign of changes to comewhen (IF?) the “summer temporada” comes topass this year.

Only the lower, “numerado” seats will be soldfor the event—8,000 of the approximately22,000 available—with the general admissionprices of $300 Mexican pesos (approximately$20 U.S.) for shady side, and $200 Mexicanpesos ($13 U.S.) for sunny side. Weather fore-casts are good for the day, which also featuresa pre-corrida open air food and wine festivalwith some of Tijuana’s most forward thinkingand popular restaurateurs such as Casa Valencia,Vinos L. A. Cetto, and more.

The cartels for Madrid’s San Isidro fairwere officially announced on Monday, andthough there are still a few pieces to be final-

ized (mostly a question of what bulls on whatdays), there appear to be no notable absencesfrom the month long (May 8-June 7) affair.

Miguel Angel Perera, 2014’s unanimousselection as maximum triunfador will appear3 times, as will cognoscenti favorite DiegoUrdiales (another significant omission (??) fromthe Sevilla program, and figura in waiting, IvanFandino, (who will also open the formal sea-son in Las Ventas next Sunday, March 29, byfacing six bulls from six different ganaderias—all of which have storied reputations for beingornery and dangerous when handled poorly, orat all). Several others will appear twice—al-ways a risk with the notoriously fickle Madridpublic—but Morante de la Puebla and JoseMari Manzanares, returning to activity follow-ing his late father’s unexpected and suddendeath, will perform only once each, which byitself poses significant risk.

Disappointingly, Mexican figuras DiegoSilveti, Octavio Garcia, “El Payo”, andArturo Saldivar will apparently perform onlyonce each, while Joselito Adame, perhaps themost serious pretender to end the 42 yeardrought in the world’s most prestigious plaza, iscontracted to open the fair on May 8 (a solidcartel featuring one of 2014’s surprises, PepeMoral, and more than promising newcomerJuan del Alamo, facing a herd form the ElCortijillo ranch). All of the dates are early inthe fair, before the “serious” cartels where “ElJuli”, Miguel Angel Perera and AlejandroTalavante, among others, will perform.

This may turn out to be a good thing in that apositive showing for any of the young starswould have them favorably positioned in thelikely event of a substitution due to injury. Sadly,neither Sergio Flores, one of the most under-rated toreros in Mexico, nor Arturo Macias,are not contracted for the one fair that almostin spite of itself—actually can still launch or ter-minate careers (ref: El Payo in 2012). Nonethe less, the fact that four of the leading Mexi-can stars will participate in four solid, if not spec-tacular, combinations, is heartening.

The Feria de San Marcos, in Aguas-calientes, Mexico is beginning to coalescearound the reappearance (re-apparition?) of JoseTomas (May 2, cartel as yet undefined) and theencerrona (six bulls by himself) of JoselitoAdame on the feast day, April 25.
