Inspiring young minds: La Jolla Playhouse tours ‘Astronaut farmworker’ to county schools By Jennifer Chung Klam In 2009, aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, José Hernández became the first astronaut to tweet from space in Spanish. “Espero la cosecha de mi sueño sirva como inspiracion a todos!” he wrote via Twitter. “I hope the harvest of my dream serves as inspiration to all!” His story was an inspiration to playwright José Cruz González, whose new play “Astronaut Farmworker” is loosely based on Hernández’s trajectory from agricultural fields to outer space. The play will travel to elementary schools throughout San Diego County through April 3 as La Jolla Playhouse’s 2015 Performance Outreach Program (POP) Tour production. As a child, Hernández spent half the year in Mexico and half in the United States. He worked alongside his family in the fields of California, harvesting crops and moving wherever the work went. He didn’t learn English until he was about 12 years old, when his family stopped moving back and forth between the United States and Mexico. “His teacher was instrumental in convincing his parents to stay,” González said. González himself was born to migrant workers in Calexico, Calif., and spent afternoons, weekends and summers working in the fields. “I remember getting up really early

If history is not just the past, but part of the present, as William Faulkner once wrote, then the stories of the surviving families of Native Californians have a lot to tell us about the California mission period from 1769 to 1833. Memories of the suffering, abuse, deaths and destruction of their cultures are part of a legacy they live with every day. So they question the Catholic Church’s plans to canonize Fray Junipero Serra, the founding father of the 21 California missions. To them, it is like pouring salt on wounds that never healed. What should be the response, then, of the California Franciscans to this event? Will the Serra canonization create an atmosphere of ecclesiastical triumphalism, or will it provide an opportunity for long overdue apologies and reconciliation? Most recent commentaries on this subject are written by white people, and not by natives who bore the brunt of the spiritual and political conquest of California. That’s why the publication this month of “News From Native California” and its feature articles on “Surviving the Missions” is so timely. With art, essays and poetry, several Native Californians tell their stories By Pablo J. Sáinz of struggle and survival.

Conference encourages Latino boys’ interest in math and science careers

In one of the more moving essays, Deborah Miranda of Esselen / Chumash responds to a fourth grader named Sonora who wants to know if the Indians liked the missions and if the priests were good. Miranda writes that although some Indians believe the missions brought them Catholicism and agriculture, others insist that anything that kills about 80 percent of your people can’t be all that good. Miranda explains to Sonora that once the Franciscans baptized the Indians, they refused to let them leave the missions. Nor could their family members visit them unless they were baptized. Girls under seven were locked up in dirty rooms at the missions (called monjerios) and got sick from the lack of sanitation. Meanwhile their parents were forced to work on the mission’s farms. The Indians were beaten frequently for not obeying the rules of (see Canonization, page 7)

It was during third grade that Richard Huizar became aware he had a special talent for math. “I have always been fascinated in mathematics since I was really little,” he said. “I learned that I had a talent in math when we had timed tests on multiplication and divisions.” Huizar is now developing that talent even more as a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the north San Diego County resident is majoring in applied mathematics, minoring in mechanical engineering, and is also completing a concentration in economics. Before transferring to MIT, Huizar attended MiraCosta College, in Oceanside, after he had to cancel his admission to San Diego State University due to financial reasons. During his time at MiraCosta, he was able to grow his love for math and for anything that involved science and technology. “MiraCosta picked me up and pushed me higher than I thought was possible,” Huizar said. “MiraCosta College became my home, the place I wanted to be as much as I could. The faculty cared about me specifically and many went out of their way to help me achieve my goals.” Like Huizar, MiraCosta College wants to encourage more Latino boys and young men to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), by holding the Encuentros Education & STEM Career Exploration Conference, on Saturday, February 21, at the college’s Oceanside Campus.

Conferencia alienta interés de muchachos latinos en carreras de matemáticas y ciencias Por Pablo J. Sáinz

Fue durante el tercer grado que Richard Huizar se dio cuenta que tenía un talento especial para las matemáticas. “Siempre he estado fascinado por las matemáticas desde que era muy pequeño”, dijo. “Me enteré de que tenía un talento en matemáticas cuando teníamos exámenes en multiplicación y división”. Huizar está desarrollando ese (see Conference, page 4) talento aún más como estudiante en

el Massachusetts Institute of Technology, donde el residente del Norte del Condado de San Diego se especializa en matemáticas aplicadas, además de una segunda especialidad en ingeniería mecánica, y también está completando una concentración en economía. Antes de transferirse al MIT, Huizar asistió a MiraCosta College, en Oceanside, después de que tuvo que cancelar su admisión a la Universidad Estatal de San Diego debido a razones financieras.

Durante su tiempo en MiraCosta, él fue capaz de fomentar su amor por las matemáticas y por todo lo que tiene que ver con la ciencia y la tecnología. “MiraCosta me empujó más alto de lo que yo podía pensar era posible”, dijo Huizar. “MiraCosta se convirtió en mi casa, el lugar en el que quería estar lo más que podía.

Los Taxes Ilegales

Como salido de la nada, y para mayor enojo de los Republicanos, el Comisionado del Servicio de Rentas Internas, cuyo trabajo es cobrar los impuestos o como les decimos acá, “las taxas”, declaró que los inmigrantes indocumentados que usen la nueva política administrativa de Barack Obama para arreglar a medias su situación, tendrán derecho a créditos y a recibir reembolsos al declarar impuestos. Y eso no es todo, según John Koskinen. Además, podrán hacer ajustes en sus impuestos de los últimos tres años, y recibir retroactivamente los correspondientes créditos y reembolsos, los que antes no les daban por declarar impuestos sin número de Seguro Social. “En cuanto tengan Seguro Social, los inmigrantes serán considerados como iguales a todos los demás”, le dijo Koskinen al Comité Financiero del Senado. Los créditos impositivos se otorgan a las familias de bajos ingresos. El máximo crédito será en 2015 de $6 mil 242 para una pareja con tres niños que no haya ganado más de $53 mil 267 en el año. El senador de Iowa Chuck Grassley puso el grito en el cielo y dijo que eso era burlarse “de las políticas que indican que ninguna persona que trabaje ilegalmente puede ser recompensada”, y pidió al IRS que revise sus políticas al respecto. Es una discusión vieja, sobre los “derechos” de quienes pagan impuestos con números ITIN, esos que emite la Tesorería de Estados Unidos a quienes no tienen Seguro Social. Todas las personas que reciben ingresos en el país deben pagar impuestos, pero sin Seguro Social no tienen derecho a que se les descuente o se les den créditos por algunos gastos. Según la Oficina del Presupuesto del Congreso, entre 2 y dos y medio millones de indocumentados podrán usar DAPA, la política administrativa que les dará un permiso temporal de estancia y trabajo por tres años.

Daniel’s Story: A Mother’s Memories of an Ayotzinapa Victim By Kent Paterson FRONTERA NORTESUR

Last summer, Daniel Solis Gallardo was on top of the world. The first to graduate from high school in his immediate family, the young resident of Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, was in excellent physical shape, counted many friends, had a girlfriend, and held an admission to the college of his choosing, the historic Atoytzinapa rural teachers’ college located not far from the state capital of Chilpancingo. But only weeks into his first year at the residential school, the 18-yearold was cut down by police bullets in the city of Iguala, Guerrero. In an interview with FNS, Solis’ mother shared important bits and pieces of her son’s short life. Born to the union of Ines Gallardo Martinez and Jaime Solis Serrano on Father’s Day, June 16, 1996, Daniel was the oldest of three children. Rolling through her phone, Gallardo showed off photos and video and played some of the Daniel’s favorite songs. Daniel elated at winning a soccer match with his team. Daniel and friends playing paintball. Daniel decked out in a pink shirt and black tie at his high school graduation ceremony. A portrait emerged of Daniel as a serious yet humorous young man with one foot in Mexican tradition and one foot in the globalized techno-world of the 21st century. According to mom, her oldest child liked enchiladas and red mole, banda and pop music, and Facebook. He excelled in English, earning high grades in the subject at his public high school and enrolling in a one-year course at a private school. For vacation, Daniel loved to visit his paternal grandparents’ small spread in the Costa Grande toward Acapulco and work with their cows. To his friends and family in Zihuatanejo, he was nicknamed “El Borre,” short for “The Sheep,” because of his curly hair. To his grandparents, he was known as “El Becerro,” or “The Young Bull.” Early in life Daniel showed a propensity for sports and physical activity. He started swimming when he was two years old. “When it rains, arroyos are

created and we go have fun. He started learning how to swim,” Gallardo reminisced. A short woman with a dark costeña complexion and bursts of the curly hair that earned her son the nickname “El Borre,” Gallardo said Daniel wanted to avoid the substance abuse that traps so many local youth and become a teacher. “He said he was going to study, because he did not want to fall into drugs or drinking,” she added. Describing her Daniel as someone who was devoted to maintaining his physique by the time he was 15 or 16 years of age, Gallardo chuckled how he used to say, “I don’t want to be a cactus!” Getting Daniel off to college wasn’t easy for his family. Dad works maintenance and is a middle school graduate. Mom only completed elementary school and cleans houses. Nonetheless, the parents conveyed a message to Daniel and their siblings that higher education is a must. “We tell our children they have our total support to study and get ahead and not be like us,” Gallardo mused. Daniel’s completion of high school was a “huge” event for the struggling family, she added. Having an uncle who had attended Ayotzinapa, Daniel was attracted to a school that doesn’t charge tuition but subsists on threadbare resources and, according to the accounts of former and current students, the sheer willpower of the allmale student body. Yet, getting admitted to Ayotzinapa is not an easy matter, as a series of rigorous tests await prospective students in order to weed out the weak from the strong. “It’s very difficult to get in. There’s an admission exam first, an exam in socio-economics and a one-week trial in which (freshmen) hardly sleep. Little food and hard exercise. They sleep on the floor,” Gallardo said. “This is done to test the students because they go on to become teachers in the mountains, where they have to walk five to nine hours at a time, cross rivers and walk a lot. There are (poor) families where they go and they have to be like them.” Daniel passed the initial tests. “He was very happy.

They were small farmers at the (semester’s) beginning, planting corn,” Gallardo recalled. During the few weeks Daniel was enrolled in Ayotzinapa, his family kept in touch over the phone but was unable to visit the school because of Daniel’s busy schedule. On September 27, 2014, the family rushed to Ayotzinapa after they were informed of the previous evening’s events in Iguala by a cousin of Daniel´s; no authority initially contacted the family to say Daniel had been shot and killed, Gallardo said. Months later, the mother of three said she still has serious doubts about what really happened the Night of Iguala, as the Mexican newsweekly Proceso has coined the police massacre and mass disappearance of students. Gallardo demands clarification of the killings and, attuned to reports of soldiers harassing students seeking help for injured classmates in an Iguala hospital, endorses growing calls for an investigation of the army’s role in the cataclysmic evening. Gallardo told FNS that she’d seen the case file in which municipal policemen detained in connection with the Iguala violence declared their innocence, but did not know about a recent story in Proceso that reported on the purported tortures of some of the arrested suspects. “I’m going to look for it,” she said. Daniel Solis Gallardo was among three Ayotzinapa students who were slain outright by police in the streets of Iguala during confrontations last September 26 and 27. A fourth student, Aldo Gutierrez, remains in a coma from his injuries, while the remains of a fifth, Alexander Mora, was later identified by the Univer-

sity of Innsbruck in Austria. 42 students are officially listed as forcibly disappeared by police and other gunmen linked to organized crime. Happening on the proverbial wrong place at the wrong time, three other civilians who had nothing to do with the deadly police-Ayotzinapa student encounter were also mowed down by police gunfire. Digging into their own pockets to purchase bus fare, Gallardo and her husband traveled to Iguala so they could attend a January 30 court hearing for the arrested policemen. After a journey that lasted hours, they arrived in a city located on the other side of the state only to learn that the session had been abruptly canceled because paperwork had not arrived in time from Mexico City. A court date is expected for later in February, she said. Last year, Gallardo joined other relatives of Ayotzinapa victims in Mexico City for an unprecedented meeting with President Enrique Peña Nieto that lasted from the early afternoon to about nine o’clock in the evening. Since then, Gallardo came to the conclusion that Peña Nieto dropped the ball. “He failed us, he is turning his back on us,” she contended. The Guerrero native praised the outpouring of international solidarity with the students and their families, but insisted that justice has to come from within Mexico. “The principal support should be from the president of the country,” the mother held. “On the contrary, he’s attacking people instead of supporting them.” In terms of the Iguala slaughter serving as a catalyst for transformation, Gallardo judged the country as having a

long way to go. “We need to unite ourselves in order to change things,” she said. Daniel’s death was a “hard blow” to the family, The grandfather was deeply affected, Gallardo and her husband have health problems, and Daniel’s 7-year-old sister just doesn’t understand. “The little girl doesn’t stop asking for him. She says she misses him,” Gallardo said. Daniel Solis Gallardo is far from forgotten. Among the numerous Ayotzinapa protest brigades that have formed around the country in recent months, some have borne his name. Recently, a friend of Daniel’s told Gallardo that an expectant new son will be named after his murdered pal. In a mother’s remembrance, the story of Daniel Solis Gallardo could serve as an inspiration for all. Although the teen never realized his dream of becoming a teacher and working with children, Gallardo’s account of her son’s violently truncated life testifies to a young man whose path eventually touched the entire world. “It was a tremendous loss. He wasn’t a mean person. He got along with everyone,” she said while holding back tears. “He had all the gumption in the world to get ahead. He mastered whatever he set out to do. He did not have the cowardice to say, ‘I can’t do it.’” A Spanish-language video homage to the life of Daniel Solis Gallardo can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=bjJWR5tyJw8 Frontera NorteSur: on-line, U.S.-Mexico border news Center for Latin American and Border Studies New Mexico State University Las Cruces, New Mexico.

New film depicts Latino cross-country team running to victory

Maria Bello stars along with Kevin Costner in the film “McFarland, USA.” By Jennifer Chung Klam In the 1980s, a team of unlikely runners from an impoverished, predominantly Latino high school overcame social and economic hurdles to win a number of state championships. The cross country runners from McFarland High School, in the San Joaquin Valley of California, inspired the film “McFarland USA,” set to be released Feb. 20. The film follows a group of Latino students and their new gym teacher Jim White, played by Kevin Costner, who put together the high school’s first ever cross country team. The team faces many challenges. “This is a farming town,” a colleague tells White as he starts his new job at the high school. “These kids working here are invisible. They come from the fields and they go back to the fields.” Coach White becomes more than a mentor to the boys, he becomes something of a second father to them, with a commitment that blurs the line between work and home. Along the way, he learns a lot about their culture, strong family relationships and work ethic. The film also tackles real life issues such as prejudice and crime. With hard work and determination, the runners build a championship team and beat their much more affluent competitors from around the state. The true story of the crosscountry runners from McFarland High School was detailed in a 1997 Los Angeles Times article about the team. Following the story’s publication, Jim

White received an outpouring of support from strangers around the state. He received envelopes with checks, offers from individuals and corporations to buy clothing, food and athletic gear for the boys – and calls from movie companies interested in their story. Not a whole lot has changed in McFarland since the team’s first state championship in 1987. McFarland is still among the state’s poorest cities, with per capita income of $8,903, according to the most recent U.S. Census data. More than 90 percent of the population is Latino, with the majority hailing from Mexico. Most of these families work in the fields, harvesting the rich bounty of grapes, peaches, plums, nectarines, watermelons and bell peppers. They eke out a living with the help of wages earned by their children – some who start working as young as 8. As one runner in the film says, “There ain’t nothing American Dream about this place.” In the summer months, kids in McFarland would toil alongside their parents, picking crops from sunrise to sundown. At the end of the day, Coach White would lead the boys on the team back through the fields, running for miles. They ran with hand-me-down running shoes, sometimes without enough food in their bellies. But for some of them, running meant a way out of the fields and out of poverty. Doz-

ens have gone on to get college educations and become teachers, prison guards and journalists. Many would return each year to attend meets, and also help mentor and train a new group of runners. In reality, the team went on to win 25 section titles since 1987 in divisions V through II. But due to a one-of-a-kind competitive equity model, which allows restructuring of division based on wins as well as school size, last year the school was elevated to Division I. McFarland, which has 750 students, was forced to compete against schools that have more than 2,000 students. The team was knocked out by the larger schools, and missed the state competition for the first time in 24 years. The runners from this small, underfunded school will have to work harder than ever to win another state championship. But if history is any indication, the McFarland crosscountry team is up for the challenge. “McFarland, USA,” produced by Disney, is directed by Niki Caro. The film stars Costner and Maria Bello alongside a number of young Latino actors, including “The Bridge’s” Carlos Platts, and actual McFarland student runners. Latin music superstar Juanes recorded the film’s title track, “Juntos (Together).”

Inspiring young minds: La Jolla Playhouse tours ‘Astronaut farmworker’ to county schools

(con’t from page 1) “I thought this would be a great story for children to hear,” said González. “It’s a powerful story about never giving up on your dream, and working toward your dream despite all odds.” González teaches theater arts at California State Los Angeles. He has written for “PAZ,” the Emmy Awardnominated television series produced by Discovery Kids for The Learning Channel. He is a playwright-in-residence with South Coast Repertory and Childsplay. Just a few of his plays include “The Long Road Today,” “The San Patricios,” “The Sun Serpent,” “Super Cowgirl and Mighty Miracle” and “Invierno.” He is one of the most commissioned and most produced playwrights in theater for young audiences, and his plays address themes children face every day. “He writes with honesty and beauty. His work can really be transformative for young audiences,” said Steve McCormick, director of education and outreach for La Jolla Playhouse. Each year the Playhouse commissions a new play for young audiences. The POP Tour productions are seen by about 20,000 kids each year. “Astronaut Farmworker” will play for 2nd through 5th grade classes in close to 50 schools throughout San Diego County. The set, costumes and props are designed to fit into a van and be set up in just 30 minutes. Prior to each performance, a Playhouse teaching artist visits each school to oversee an interactive workshop to explore the play’s issues and themes.

Playwright Jose Gonzalez Following the 45-minute performance, the cast and crew conduct a question and answer session with the audience. There will also be four public performances, at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 14-15. The Playhouse has been committed to producing theater for children since 1987. McCormick said the Playhouse gives POP Tour plays the same resources and attention as other theatrical productions. “We don’t look at it as a ‘precious’ experience, it’s not a ‘sweet’ thing that we get to do. We believe strongly in creating work for a multigenerational audience,” McCormick said. As theater for young audiences has evolved, plays have become more meaningful and

relevant, featuring more complex characters and themes. McCormick said it is vitally important for the Playhouse to do work for children that is challenging, and to provide shared experiences that are not static and passive. “So much entertainment for young people is candy, pretty, simplistic, didactic, and assumes that young people aren’t smart enough to actually comprehend or wrestle with big ideas,” he said. “It’s important that we as artists are creating work that shows that these young people are capable of processing information, and deserve high-quality art that doesn’t speak down to them.” Klam is a San Diego-based freelance writer.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Brindará Assistencia Gratuita en la Prepración de Impuestos Este año, AARP Foundation brindará nuevamente asistencia gratuita en la preparación de las declaraciones de impuestos para los contribuyentes de ingresos bajos a moderados a través del programa AARP Foundation Tax-Aide. En su 48.º año, AARP Foundation TaxAide es el servicio de asistencia gratuita en la preparación de declaraciones de impuestos más grande del país, que brinda especial atención a la población de adultos mayores. No es necesario que seas socio de AARP ni que estés jubilado para usar este servicio. AARP Tax-Aide es uno de los programas más representativos de AARP Foundation. Su éxito es el resultado directo de voluntarios dedicados y entrenados que pasan incontables horas ayudando a las personas a obtener los reembolsos de impuestos que se merecen. El año pasado la Fundación AARP Tax-Aide ayudó a los residentes de California a obtener casi $94 millones en reembolsos del impuesto sobre la renta y cerca

de $19 millones en créditos tributarios por ingresos obtenidos (EITC),” dijo Nancy McPherson, Directora interina del estado para AARP California. En el 2014, los 36,000 voluntarios de AARP Foundation Tax-Aide brindaron ayuda gratuita con los impuestos a 2.6 millones de personas en alrededor de 5,000 locales. Los contribuyentes que utilizaron el programa AARP Foundation Tax-Aide recibieron $1,300 millones ($1.3 billion) en reembolsos de impuestos sobre el ingreso y sobre $257 millones en EITC (créditos tributarios por ingresos de trabajo). El año pasado en California, 2,953.00 voluntarios de AARP Foundation Tax-Aide ayudaron a más de 187,461.00 personas a presentar sus declaraciones de impuestos federales, estatales y locales. El programa se ofrece en aproximadamente 431 locales en California, que incluyen centros para adultos mayores, bibliotecas y otros lugares convenientes.

Este año, las reglas de preparación de declaraciones de impuestos bajo la ACA (Ley del Cuidado de la Salud a Bajo Precio) requerirán documentación adicional de los contribuyentes. La buena noticia es que los contribuyentes que hayan sido beneficiarios de Medicare o Medicare Advantage durante todo el año no deberán presentar documentación adicional. Si no, los contribuyentes deben llevar la información del seguro médico de su familia, incluida la información de las compras en el Mercado (o “Intercambio”) de Seguros Médicos, y las exenciones de salud. Para obtener más información sobre la documentación necesaria o para localizar un local de AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, visita http:// www.aarp.org/money/taxes/ aarp_taxaide/ o llama al 1-888AARPNOW (1-888-2277669).

Cautiva el Talento de Jóvenes Músicos a Niños Escolares Tijuanenses

Jóvenes músicos y niños1os comparten bellos momentos de interlocución Por Paco Zavala El talento de jóvenes músicos tijuanenses pertenecientes a la Orquesta Sinfónica de Playas de Tijuana, dirigida por el Maestro experto en pedagogía musical, Armando Suárez Pulido y perteneciente al Insituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura (IMAC), sorprendió a más de 200 alumnos de la Escuela Primaria “Tenochtitlán” de Playas de Tijuana, al ser guiados por el Maestro Suárez Pulido, primero a conocer cada uno los instrumentos de viento, de los cuales se narró una pequeña historia, incluyendo indicaciones para la ejecución de los mismos, posteriormente se ejecutaron inolvidables obras musicales del cine, este evento se realizó al iniciar la orquesta una serie de conciertos didácticos en las escuelas de la ciudad. Como cada año la Orquesta Sinfónica de Playas de Tijuana, realiza una serie de conciertos en centros educativos de la ciudad, con esta presentación dio inicio en este 2015 a sus actividades. Los niños se fascinaron con los jóvenes músicos de la orquesta, de 9 a 20 años de edad y los cuales practican diariamente su instrumento asignado y, al ejecutarlo frente a los pequeños, surgieron la maravilla del entusiasmo, la admiración y el deseo de algún día ser como ellos. El Maestro Suárez Pulido dijo que la música es la buena combinación del sonido y el silencio que recorre emociones, sentimientos y estados de ánimo. Continuó el evento explicando el funcionamiento de otros instrumentos, tales como: el clarinete, el saxofón alto, el fagot, la tuba recta y la bateria, la cual fue ejecutada por el joven baterista Javier, demostrando sus habilidades, ante la admiración de la asistencia infantil. Continuó la presentación del

programa establecido con la película Jurassic Park, la cual hizo su aparición con el tema musical de su banda sonora, con la sorpresa de los niños y los consabidos comentarios de: “yo quiero tocar así”. Siguieron en el repertorio la ejecución de temas musicales tales como: Carros de fuego, Un hombre sobre un río, Forrest Gump, Danza con lobos, Regreso al futuro, obras que son muy escuchadas, apreciadas y aplaudidas por los pequeños, los cuales no dejaron en ningún momento de admirar la ejecución de los instrumentos. Como redondeo de esta primera presentación, algunos niños dijeron estar interesados en tomar clases, lo cual sucederá en muy corto tiempo, así lo apreció el Maestro Suárez Pulido. La ahora delegada de Playas de Tijuana Martina Montenegro y el regidor Francisco Hernández Vera, atestiguaron el evento y se comprometieron a apoyar la compra de instrumentos y la formación de coros en las escuelas primarias con el fin de fortalecer el contacto con las artes musicales. En otra nota, ya comenzó la afinación de guitarras para la Rondalla del IMAC. Un nuevo proyecto avalado por el Sistema de Bibliotecas de Tijuana y apoyado por el Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura, es la formación de una rondalla, para lo cual ya iniciaron la preparación y ensayos de diez jóvenes, entre ellos dos estadounidenses interesados en constituir esta agrupación musical. Este proyecto forma parte de las actividades que se promoverán en las 24 bibliotecas del municipio de Tijuana, los que se convertirán en espacios para promover el arte y la cultura incluyendo otras actividades vinculadas. El destino y el buen fun-

cionamiento de este proyecto se está realizando en la Biblioteca Gustavo Aubanel Vallejo, en donde se están impartiendo las clases de guitarra y canto con el Maestro Jonathan Ulises a: Zionah y Angelene Williams, Sarahi Rodríguez García, Marta Alicia Vaca López, José Cristian, Francisco Javier Angel Zares, José David Verdín Calderón y Jennifer Scarleth Sánchez Martínez. La rondalla está en formación, por lo tanto si desea integrarse llame o acuda a la Biblioteca Gustavo Aubanel Vallejo, la cual se ubica en calle Agua Prieta, Fracc. Reynoso, Delegación La Mesa. Teléfono 01152 (664) 622-0341 Este es un proyecto que le dará proyección y popularidad a la ciudad, una rondalla es una agrupación musical con mucha tradición. Para concluir, la exposición “Las Lewis”, en la que se incluyen pinturas de técnica mixta y arteobjeto de la autoría de Lídice Figueroa Lewis, Lourdes Lewis y Lula Lewis, inaugurada recientemente en la Galería de la ciudad, del Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura, es como un viaje maravilloso al árbol genealógico de las artistas plásticas, que brindan a los visitantes esta parte de la historia de las vidas de estas tres mujeres, haciendo uso como medio de comunicación el arte que ellas cultivan con propiedad. Las obras que integran esta exposición están realizadas en técnica mixta y con montaje, objetos diversos como: mapas, botellas y muñecas. Lídice Lewis al dirigir unas palabras al público asistente durante la inauguración recordó a su madre, quien cuando niña le enseñó a ver los ojos del artista y le enseñó a observar la noche, la luna, el sol, con esa visión sensible del artista. La entrada a este evento es gratuita.

Conference encourages Latino boys’ interest in math and science careers (con’t from page 1) “The Encuentros Education and STEM Career Exploration Conference is an empowering event for all middle and high school Latino students who are the youngest, largest and fastest growing population in the United States,” said Dr. Sunita Cooke, president/superintendent of MiraCosta College. “MiraCosta College is honored to be able to host this event every year to help encourage and support these young men to achieve their educational goals and succeed in the world.” And when it comes to STEM careers, Latino boys and young men need all the help they can get. According to Encuentros Leadership founder and chief operations officer, Roberto Rivas, 53 percent of Latino boys in California do not finish high school.

The conference is part of non-profit Encuentros Leadership’s efforts to bridge the education gap among Latino boys, he said, especially when it comes to STEM careers and college enrollment. “By advocating about the current impact of STEM, students are not only given the opportunity to learn about future trends and careers in high tech, they also connect the dots back to how education impacts their future today,” Rivas said. Since 2004, more than 10,000 North County Latino students have attended the Encuentros conference. Rivas said that it has had a tremendous impact in the area. “We have collected data tracking many of our first attendees in 2004 and have discovered that many have pursued and achieved their under-

graduate degrees,” he said. “Many of the boys who attended our first Conferences have returned as volunteers and have spoken eloquently in testimonials of how Encuentros inspired their educational goals.” This year, Huizar will talk about his experience transferring from MiraCosta to MIT in a talk titled From community college to MIT. During the conference student participants from local middle and high schools will have the opportunity to meet with Latino professionals and start thinking about their future careers. Huizar, the student at MIT, said he still can’t get his mind around being at one of the top universities for math and technology. “I still am trying to believe this amazing opportunity I get to have,” he said. “I am still

overwhelmed by the welcoming atmosphere and the many opportunities at this fine institution. Every day I wake up and wonder if I am really here. I can’t wait for the next day to learn more from the amazing faculty and spend time with my friends learning and growing.” There is no cost to attend the conference; however pre-registration is suggested and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Organizers expect around 200 students will attend the event.

Social Action Directors Address Involving More Hispanics In Advocacy WASHINGTON - Acknowledging the growing number of Hispanic Catholics in the United States, diocesan social action directors strategized Feb. 6 on how to better integrate them not just in their local parish, but in the wider church. There was no shortage of ideas offered during the daylong meeting of the Roundtable Association of Catholic Diocesan Social Action Directors, and one of the sponsors of the Feb. 7-10 Catholic Social Ministry Gathering in Washington. Rich Fowler, a former social action director in the Diocese of Stockton, California, recalled how Bishop Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton wanted strong peace and justice communities in every parish in the diocese — and he didn’t want the parish leadership to be just Anglo. One ready resource for English-speakers, Fowler said, was the “Good News People” program available from JustFaith. But “Good News People” wasn’t available in Spanish, Fowler said, and the possibility existed that a translation into Spanish of Anglo spirituality would not work well with Hispanics. However, Fowler came upon “La Justicia Brota de la Fe” (“Justice Flows From Faith”), a formation program offered by Renew International that was not only conceived in Spanish, but was imbued with Latin American spirituality. English speakers took the one-year “Good News

People” series, while Spanish speakers are just now finishing up the two-year “La Justicia” program. Representatives of JustFaith and Renew who were in attendance at the Roundtable meeting said they would work to cross-promote the other’s program to twin with their own. Jesuit Father Allan Figueroa Deck, who was the first executive director of the U.S. bishops’ Secretariat for Cultural Diversity in the Church, outlined some the differing approaches to spirituality taken by Anglos and Hispanics. Anglo approaches to spirituality, he said, tend toward the individual, to reason, the pragmatic, the analytic and the discursive. The Hispanic approach, Father Deck added, is not individual but collective in nature, and often emotive, concrete and immediate, graphic instead of analytical, and stresses both the transcendent and the a “learn by doing” nature. Symbolism cannot be discounted, Father Deck said. The banner of Our Lady of Guadalupe used by the United Farm Workers union at its start 50 years ago “galvanized a movement,” he added. Leadership in Hispanic ministry must work together on advocacy issues, said Estela Villagran Manancero, president of the National Catholic Association of Diocesan Directors for Hispanic Ministry, and director of the Office of

Latino Ministry for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Such issues go from improving border management to “making college possible for young Latino immigrants,” she said. On schooling issues, she suggested connecting Catholic schools “with the number of young Latino children who would love to be in our schools,” adding it could also foster vocations. Seemingly simple initiatives could have a profound effect, such as how the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is now urging its chapters that run thrift shops to pay a living wage to their workers so the employees don’t have to avail themselves of the bargain-priced goods they sell. Diocesan “Justice for Immigrants” activities are “organized around the popular celebrations of spirituality” in the Hispanic community “to get people to engage in advocacy,” said Marco Raposo, director of Peace and Justice Ministry for the Diocese of El Paso, Texas. “We started with posadas, which have been around for hundreds of years,” Raposo said. A posada re-enacts the efforts of Joseph and Mary to find lodging in Bethlehem before the Christ child is born. “Then we turned it into migrant posada. ... During Lent we have the migrant Way of the Cross.” Reprinted from Catholic Sentinel

New bilingual online platform helps DREAMers and other immigrants navigate, complete and file immigration paperwork

Eloisa Mata, left, and Maria Calixto, right, work on DACA cases Filing government or legal paperwork is a necessary eyecrossing task that most of us have to do more often than we like. Thank goodness we live in the tech age. Software and/or websites have been created to make the whole process easier and less time consuming. From figuring out how much we owe Uncle Sam to creating a will or starting a business, technology has opened the door to more people accomplishing these tasks that before would have cost most people a chunk of their paycheck, time and sanity. Yet, for immigrants whose whole future in the United States depends on filling out pages of confusing legal paperwork, it’s important that it not only be done correctly but as cost-effective as possible given the high cost of immigration fees. For students known as DREAMers, their immedi-

ate future of getting a job and moving freely depends even more heavily on getting their paperwork right the first time. Horror stories exist of immigrant families and DREAMers relying on others, who say they know how to navigate the required paperwork, left facing deportation because the forms weren’t filled out correctly. Not only are these immigrants facing deportation but some have usually paid their hard-earned money for nada. San Francisco entrepreneur and son of Italian immigrants, Cesare Alessandrini, knew there was an easier way for all immigrants to fill out the paperwork they needed to stay in the United States. After all, if people could generate an online form to file their taxes or create a business, why not their immigration papers? “My family and I have per-

sonally experienced the confusion and anxiety involved in completing immigration papers,” said Cesare Alessandrini. “I founded FileRight to help the millions of immigrants and DREAMers file their paperwork right.” At FileRight, users find the document they need, fill it out online by answering some questions and then follow the step-by-step directions on how to file it correctly. Once it’s filed, all that’s left is to wait to hear from the government. Alessandrini is so convinced that people will experience success with his platform that “he promises to reimburse customers the cost of FileRight fees plus their government filing fees (for DACA that’s $465) if their application is denied.” The forms are available in both Spanish and English and tech support is promised 24/7.

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL El Soporte Informativo Para Millones de Hispanos Por Luisa Fernanda Montero

Enfermería, una carrera con presente y futuro Muchas personas pasan por la vida sin descubrir cuál es su verdadera vocación, muchas incluso, escogen cualquier trabajo que pague sus cuentas, sin pensar en cuál es su misión en esta tierra, a que vinieron o, al menos, que les gusta. Pero otros tienen su propósito de vida muy claro y se encaminan en él sin dificultad, eso, más que una virtud, es un privilegio. Anabel Castro Thompson una hispana que se dedica a la enfermería o lo que aquí llamamos nurse practitioner, en el área del cuidado paliativo y que tiene algo para decirle a aquellos que están tratando de determinar qué hacer con su vida, sobre el campo de la enfermería: “hay muchos diferentes lugares donde uno puede trabajar; en una clínica, en una escuela, en un centro comunitario, y uno siempre puede avanzar, puedes cambiar de especialidad lo más que quieras”. Anabel recuerda, además, que la necesidad de enfer-

meros -y enfermeras- biculturales y bilingües, es cada vez más amplia, en un país en el que la comunidad hispana es la minoría más importante en número y continúa creciendo. La oferta es atractiva si se piensa que según Anabel, de acuerdo a la especialidad, el campo, la experiencia y la modalidad de trabajo, un enfermero puede ganar de 80 a 150 mil dólares al año. Sin embargo, actualmente, de acuerdo con la Asociación Nacional de Enfermeros Hispanos, NAHN, la cantidad de hispanos que decide dedicarse a la enfermería es mínima, y los números no han cambiado en los últimos 10 años. Con seguridad la ignorancia sobre lo que realmente es la profesión y las posibilidades que ofrece han impedido que muchos se decidan por una carrera plena de posibilidades. Porque para empezar, hay que saber que la enfermería es una ciencia relacionada con los cuidados que se deben prestar a las personas enfermas o

Luisa Fernanda Montero sanas de todas las edades y que involucra la promoción de la salud, la medicina preventiva y los cuidados de discapacitados, ancianos o de aquellos que transitan el final de su camino. La enfermería está relacionada con todos los campos de la medicina y tiene una amplia oferta de especializaciones y lo cierto es que también tiene una alta oferta laboral, dada la escasez de enfermeros que viene presentándose en este país. La NAHN está ahí para apoyar a los hispanos que quieran seguir una carrera en enfermería y es una de las entidades que ofrece préstamos y becas para los interesados.

The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve is hosting a free Discovery Lab to excite and engage the minds of school children and their parents on Wednesday, Feb. 18th, from 5 to 8 p.m.at its Visitor Center at 301 Caspian Way in Imperial Beach. The February Discovery Lab is titled, “Your Wonderful Working Wetland” and will allow families to discover why wetlands are important for humans and for wildlife. Educational activities at the Discovery Lab will include Wetland Metaphors, Runoff Race, What is a Wetland?, Wetlands as Filters, and Excreters and Accumulators. The activities, led by scientists and educators, are interactive and are designed for visitors of all ages. Discovery Labs are held four times a year and are an opportunity to see the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve in the evening, when Light-footed Clapper Rails are calling and the lights of Tijuana are shining to the south. The Discovery Lab series is sponsored by the County of San Diego. “We are very excited to invite the community to the Visitor Center at night to experience how remarkable coastal wetlands are in cleaning up our environment and other critical functions,” said Anne Marie Tipton, education coordinator, Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. “It is a chance to meet and ask questions of the biologists and educators in a fun and low key atmosphere.” The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve is not only where the Tijuana River meets the Pacific Ocean and where two countries come together. It is a rich biological area studied by federal and state scientists on the U.S. side of the border. Phone 619-5753613 or go to TRNERR.org.

Annual Vietnamese New Year Festival Celebrates 10 Years of Success The upcoming annual San Diego Tet Festival will be the Vietnamese-American Youth Alliance’s 10th. To celebrate this milestone, the group is planning a bigger celebration than previous years. “To be around and going strong after 10 years is a tes-

communities,” VAYA president Andy Nguyen said. “This has been what VAYA is all about and I’m proud to see it continue to prosper.” The Tet festival, the Vietnamese New Year celebration, started in 2006 at Qualcomm Stadium and then moved to Balboa Park in 2008. Because of the construction and preparation for the Centennial celebration, the festival then moved to Mira Mesa in 2013. “The construction at Balboa Park was a big reason why we moved to Mira Mesa, but because of the outpouring of support from the community, we decided to stay and continue to host the festival here,” Nguyen said. With the 10th anniversary celebration, the group is doing a bit of reminiscing about not only its history, but also the history of Vietnamese people in United States. Next year is also the 40th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon and the start of the Vietnamese diaspora. It is also the 45th anniversary of the Hue Massacre where more than 4,000 civilian victims were killed during the Communist occupation of Hue. This is the reason why this year’s festival theme is Spring of Nostalgia, Nguyen said. Some of the new attractions planned for this year include a revamped Cultural Village that will incorporate some of the history of Vietnamese life in America since the Fall, the relaunch of the Golden Voice

more than 20,000 people each year, promises fun for whole the family with such activities as carnival rides and games, authentic Vietnamese food, lion dancing and firecrackers. The upcoming year, being the year of the goat, there will also a goat petting zooe for the kids to enjoy. Festival Dates and Hours are: Friday, Feb. 20, 2015 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 21, 2014 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 22, 2014 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free.

It is not a question of if… It IS a conflict of interest!

W

hen the city council of Chula Vista appointed Steve Miesen, the councilmembers noted the potential of a conflict. The general public has talked about the conflict of interest. Jill Galvez felt strongly enough about the conflict of interest that she wrote a commentary on it. And recently, the Star News has reported about the possibility of a conflict of interest with this appointment. The only people who don’t seem to care are the very people who should care the most, the city council. Instead of doing the right thing by finding a qualified person to serve, the council settled on expediency and set aside the conflict question and went ahead and appointed Miesen. In this instance the City Attorney provided the council members the cover they needed to make the appointment. The City Attorney, Glen Googins, took a very narrow view, looking at only the financial disclosure form, and stated that because the city contract with Republic Services, where Miesen serves as Division Manager, would not come up in the next two years, that he was good to go. We see two problems with this legal opinion by Googins: First, Googins is an elected official whose primary role is to provide the citizens of Chula Vista with legal representation that reflects the best interest of the city, not the city councils’ personal yes man. Secondly, if Googins had looked beyond the financial disclosure form and looked into the Conflict of Interest publication issued by the California Attorney General, he would have found plenty of code violations that the appointment represented. But he didn’t and as such never brought those issues before the city. Googins failed the citizens of Chula Vista in this instance. To clarify, Steve Miesen is Division Manager of Republic Services, the sole provider of trash pick-up, recycling, and management of a landfill on public lands. Republic Services is considered a PUBLIC/PRIVATE partnership. That means they are a private contractor that has been outsourced to provide a city service. This would be similar to Sweetwater Authority, a public agency that serves the needs of the city. A water district and an elected office was cited as an example of incompatible offices which “presented a significant potential for a clash of duties and loyalties...” Because Miesen is simultaneously serving as the head of a public private partnership and as an appointed city council person whose job it is to oversee the outsourcing contract, the Miesen appointment would fall under the Common Law doctrine prohibiting “self-dealing”, the statutes relating to incompatible offices (offices referring to public offices as well as positions of authority in other organizations), and California Law, section 1090. According to the At-

torney General, “Section 1090 essentially prohibits a public official from being financially interested in a contract in both the official’s public and private capacities.” Miesen not only owns shares of Republic Waste, but he also collects a substantial salary as Division Manager. Without the Chula Vista contract, would he even have a job? Or Googins could have referred to Chapter XIV. CODE OF ETHICS Government Code Section 8920 et seq., which in part states: E. Potential Conflict in Duties or Functions - The incompatible offices prohibition does not require proof of an actual clash between the two offices in the context of a particular decision. It is enough that there is the potential for a significant clash between the two offices at some point in the future. These are just two examples of the law which outline the conflict of interest with the appointment of Miesen and just an example of the laws ignored by City Attorney Googins. These issues that should have been raised and discussed prior to the appointment of Steve Miesen. While Googins fell down on the job, our disdain is reserved for the city council members themselves. The members knew that this appointment would be an issue. They knew that there was a conflict of interest here, they even talked about it before the appointment and instead of doing the right thing, they chose to sacrifice their character, their integrity at the altar of expediency! We are especially disappointed in councilmember Pat Aguilar who in her first term presented herself as a politician of integrity, a politician with principles. This appointment process was tough for a variety of reasons and instead of cinching up their belts and going to work to achieve the best possible outcome, this council took the easy way out, even if it meant doing the wrong thing. Not only does this reflect badly on this process but it brings into question future decisions that this council will be making. This council will have to make much tougher decisions, on much bigger issues, dealing with millions of dollars. Is this a prelude to how they will make future decisions? With the way this council went about this decision how can the citizens of Chula Vista trust them to do the right thing in the future? Lastly, we wonder if Miesen read the Conflict Rules himself? If he had he would have noted that once his term is expired he will be prohibited from addressing the city council, or meeting with city council members for one (1) year, either orally or in writing, which is referred to as the “revolving door.” As the head of a Public/Private agency this could hamper his ability to conduct business, which may not make the corporate heads too happy!

Will Securing Our Borders Drive Us Into A Recession? When fences go up instead of POE infrastructure, thousands of jobs and business enterprises are lost By Barbara Zaragoza In the past several weeks, a small construction crew has been putting up bollard fencing to seal another piece of the San Diego-Tijuana border near the Pacific Ocean. Until now that particular space has always been borderless due to the steep mountain terrain. The crew appears to have razed down portions of the mountain and created a smooth road on the American side for border patrol vehicles. The construction shows that the border fence is like a living organism that continues to grow and expand. America’s obsession with fence building at the U.S.-Mexico line began in 1955 when people feared that Red China was deliberately smuggling illegal drugs through the border in order to dope up American youth and weaken capitalism. A chain link fence was constructed that ran from San Ysidro through the Tijuana River Valley. That fence remained for another four decades, until a series of economic blows in Mexico sent the peso spiraling. By the early 1990s, America’s response was Operation Gatekeeper: Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) increased security and replaced the chain link fence with military landing mat. The result: between 1995 and 2005 the number of illegal Mexican immigrants jumped up from 2.9 to 6.3 million. Many attributed the increase to NAFTA, which was introduced at the same time. The free trade agreement dealt a devastating blow to farmers who could no longer compete with imported American goods. As a consequence, many Mexicans workers had to go North to provide for themselves and their families. After 9/11 politicians once again enacted legislation to increase border security, often citing the potential for terrorist threats. According to an NBC News report, the CBP spent $2.4 billion between 2006 and 2009 to complete 670 miles of border fence. The result? Drug and contraband seizures nearly doubled. While illegal entries to the United States fell by 69% between 2006 to 2011, CBP said they could not account for the impact of the fence. Now, H.R.399 or the “Secure Our Borders First Act,” wants to authorize $1 billion in spending each year from 2016 to 2025 to further increase militarization at the U.S.-Mexico line. The bill wants more fence construction and added technologies, such as subterranean surveillance and unmanned aerial vehicles. Interestingly, if the bill were to come into law, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be expected to provide metrics that weigh the effectiveness of the new security measures against the impact upon industry and jobs. But don’t those metrics already exist? The above numbers demonstrate the effectiveness of previous border building. What the media often fails to examine are the economic impacts on legal crossings when border building takes financial precedence over infrastructure improvements at the ports of entry. Mexico is our third largest trading partner. In 2013 the two-way trade was $507 billion. Mexico was also our second largest goods export market. For California, Mexico was the state’s number one export market in 2013, accounting for 14 percent of all California exports (or $23.9 billion). A full 99% of total trade between California and Mexico was transported by trucks. Mexican shoppers have also been another vital economic stimulator for the San Diego and California economy. More than 68% of the 1.6 million people living in Tijuana cross the border to shop. They spend at least $6 billion a year, or more than $1 of every $8 in retail sales. That means the Mexican population pours at least

$480 million sales tax dollars into the economy every year. This number, however, is stifled due to America’s border security obsession, which fails to adequately respond to the needs of legal crossers. According to SANDAG, inadequate infrastructure at the ports of entry translate into an estimated loss of $7.2 billion in gross output and a loss of 62,000 jobs. What’s more, in 2008 northbound vehicle crossings fell by 12.9 % and continued to decline each year thereafter. Declines up to 10% were also seen in individual crossings. While economists may point to the sub-prime mortgage collapse and the U.S. recession as the cause (the numbers have again been increasing in the last two years), the declines in crossings also happened to have coincided with increased border militarization. Illegal immigrant crossings constitute anywhere from a high estimate of 2%, but more likely 0.2% of the total number of people crossing the border each year. Paul Carr, Supervisory Border Patrol Agent in the San Diego sector said that for 2013, Border Patrol made 27,496 arrests. That constitutes about the same number for one year as the number of legal law-abiding pedestrians who cross the border at the San Ysidro Port of Entry each day. Even if we were to take a very inflated number, such as 1 million illegal crossings through the entire 1,954 mile range and compare that to the number of legal vehicle and pedestrian crossings per year at only the San Ysidro port of entry (where 50 million vehicles and pedestrians cross annually) we would still get a maximum of 2% illegal crossings, in comparison to the 98% of legal crossings done by individuals who will inject the U.S. economy with revenue. A CRS Report for Congress estimated that illicit drug sale earnings ranged from $13.6 to $48.4 billion annually. That means H.R. 399 would spend $1 billion in taxpayer dollars on stemming an illicit trade that reflects 3% - 9.5% of the total amount of legal trade taking place. Meanwhile, the federal government appropriated only $741 million for the entire reconfiguration of the largest land port of entry in the world, San Ysidro, even though reports show that by 2030 the number of vehicles and pedestrians at that port of entry could increase by 87%. Spending a proportional amount of federal dollars to improve the infrastructure at the 47 ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border could provide a colossal stimulus to our economy, infusing many industries with revenue and creating thousands of jobs. On the other hand, exorbitant spending to seal the border could potentially send the economy into another recession. Ever since Operation Gatekeeper, border militarization has been a unilateral project where the U.S. has kept Mexico out of the negotiations. The fence has always been constructed 3 to 300 feet away from the line, exclusively on American soil. As Washington D.C. continues to send our neighbor the message that they are a threat, could it eventually come to pass that Mexico will decide they’ve been slighted and disrespected one too many times? If they close their borders to the U.S., they’ll be taking $480 million in tax dollars and $507 billion in trade elsewhere, and perhaps, for example, to our other primary trade partners, Canada and China.

The brutality of the Senate Confirmation Process By Grace Flores-Hughes There is a federal government process that goes on in the nation’s capital that very few Americans know about, and even less have experienced: The Senate Confirmation. Yet, it’s one of the most important processes in our federal government, and it all has to do with the United States holding hearings and eventually (not always) confirming the president’s high-level appointees that will serve in his or her administration. This process is part of the Senate’s constitutional “advice and consent” responsibilities. Those of us that have experienced a “Senate confirmation,” know firsthand how intense and nerve wrecking the process can be. The idea of appearing in front of a group of Senators, some of who aren’t warm and fuzzy to begin with, and who are worse in their questioning, can be a scary thing indeed. Never mind that preparing for the hearings can be worse than preparing for college senior finals. However, it usually boils down to this; you simply have to know why you want the position, what the position entails and how you plan to carry out your duties. To some this process is a “cake walk” especially if they have gone through the process before. But for those of us going in for the first time, it’s definitely a sleepless night before hearing day and even more sleepless nights until the Senate vote comes in. It was indeed an honor for me to be nominated by President Reagan to be the Director of the Community Relations Service at the Department of Justice. His announcement of my nomination was made in the Rose Garden of the White House, and it was if I may be so modest, a big deal. The anxiety that accompanies a Senate Confirmation hearing There were cameras positioned throughout the Rose Garden and both President Reagan and Vice President H.W. Bush were on stage with me and a few other top-level appointees. But that was the easy part. Once the investigation of my background began it was if “all the dogs were let lose” to attack me and no one else. Everything about me since the day I was born was fair game, federal agents called on old friends, neighbors, work colleagues even frightening some of my mother’s viejita neighbors who couldn’t understand why I was being investigated. But the investigation was nothing compared to the problems I faced from detractors that didn’t want to see me as the head of the Community Relations Service. Unlikely enemies in during Senate Confirmation It became a total shock to learn that those causing my confirmation problems were members of my very own Mexican-American community. They simply didn’t want me in that position because they wanted a friend of theirs instead. They wanted their friend to be the one to run the conflict resolution agency, and they were pulling all the stops to derail my nomination. I am not the first nominee to endure such opposition, but to put up a fight for such a small agency against people from my own ethnic background was certainly a first and to say the

least “shocking”. It got to the point where I thought about withdrawing my nomination. But I figured that given that I had survived my challenging, mental and emotional childhood upbringing I could surely survive this, which I did. But certainly it would never have happened had I not had the support of one particular senator who knew me much better than the others; he was my next-door neighbor and friend, former Senator Al Simpson of Wyoming. I was lucky, some nominees have no one to help them when they get in trouble during the confirmation process. Still others are so controversial no matter “who they know” that none will help them. The “Senate Confirmation” process does not have to be so difficult, but it is for some and it is certainly not for the faint hearted. Like everything about Washington, D.C. politics, it’s a tough experience. Some make it through the confirmation, and some don’t. The Maria Echaveste debacle I was especially sad to hear that my old friend Maria Echaveste withdrew her nomination as President Obama’s pick to be our country’s Ambassador to Mexico. I wonder where was the Hispanic community during her fight—why weren’t they backing up her nomination and calling for senators to confirm her? Or was her nomination doomed in the new Republican controlled Senate? Ms. Echaveste cited family concerns along with the short period of time left in Obama’s administration as the reasons for her withdrawal and to be sure those are valid considerations. However, the other side of the coin is that she would have been the first woman appointed as ambassador to her family’s native country and would have served her country well. But here again, “Senate Confirmations” can be a brutal process that serves the masters more than the nominees. Hispanics didn’t fare well with Eschaveste, but they did with the confirmation of Dallas prosecutor, Sarah Saldana, thanks to Senator Ted Cruz’s naiveté of Senate proceedings. In an attempt to force a vote on Obama’s immigration policies, he invoked a parliamentary procedure that didn’t go anywhere but it did allow the Democrats to keep the Senate in session allowing them time to confirm several of Obama’s nominees including Sara Saldana. Interestingly, both Texas Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz opposed Saldana’s confirmation but Cruz who seems to talk more than listen these days, handed the Democrats a big win – its fair to say that it is most likely that none of these nominees would have won confirmation in a Republican controlled Senate and Ms. Saldana would have been out like Ms. Echaveste. There you have it, an interesting process of our American government that very few experience but that is waiting for the next batch of well deserving Americans brave or lucky enough to see it through. Over 3 decades, Grace Flores-Hughes has served in the administration of three presidents, including that of President George W. Bush who appointed her to the Federal Service Impasses Panel. In 2011 she published her memoir, A Tale of Survival. Reprinted from VOXXI (http://voxxi.com/)

No segregación en las cárcles Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D. Todos sabemos que el gobierno de California prefiere gastar una gran suma de dinero en el mantenimiento de las cárceles que invertir en la educación universitaria. Actualmente el gobierno del estado gira un cheque de alrededor de $34,000 anuales por cada uno de los encarcelados. Mientras tanto, día a día el gobierno exige a los estudiantes que paguen más en colegiaturas y otros servicios universitarios. A pesar de que las cárceles están bastante bien subsidiadas, los problemas dentro de estos recintos de “rehabilitación” siguen aumentando y siguen creando dolores de cabeza al fisco. El gobernador Jerry Brown cree que incrementando el presupuesto en un 87% — una tasa anual de $62,396 por encarcelado— resolvería los problemas en las cárceles. A estas alturas, por más que se le aumente el presupuesto a $100,000 por encarcelado, los problemas en las cárceles seguirán siendo los mismos y no se van a resolver. Es decir, los problemas no son necesariamente de tipo económico, sino que existen cuestiones de ética e ideología que raras veces han sido contemplados o discutidos por nuestros gobernantes del estado. ¿Cómo es posible que se le pida a una persona confinada que se rehabilite y busque maneras idóneas de reinserción en la sociedad si lo primero que aprende en las cárceles es segregarse y pisotear los valores de la diversidad, pluralidad y tolerancia?

Desde el primer momento que hacen su ingreso en las cárceles, los internos son separados de acuerdo a su etnicidad y color de la piel. Los latinos son intencionalmente recluidos con gente de su propio grupo, lo mismo sucede con los afroamericanos y los anglosajones. De acuerdo a los dirigentes carcelarios, la segregación es una política positiva que evita peleas y mantiene el orden dentro de los reclusorios estatales. En corto plazo, está muy claro que esta política de segregación arroja resultados positivos, especialmente para los administradores y los oficiales de las cárceles. Sin embargo, en el largo plazo, la segregación crea nuevas patologías, nuevos prejuicios e intencionalmente genera individuos más destructivos. Por consiguiente, con todo ese dinero que se gasta en las cárceles es necesario crear verdaderos centros de rehabilitación. Uno de los primeros pasos a seguir es abolir las políticas de segregación e implementar nuevos programas de rehabilitación y reinserción que preparen a estas personas a adaptarse a sociedades diversas y tolerantes como la nuestra. El gobernador Brown puede incrementar el presupuesto de las cárceles del estado, pero si no tiene una política de desegregación, su proyecto seguirá confundiéndose con aquellos programas del pasado que no hicieron más que aumentar los problemas en las cárceles del estado. Los californianos merecemos verdaderos centros de rehabilitación y no centros de segregación.

¡ASK A MEXICAN! By Gustavo Arellano Dear Mexican: Can you please explain to me the basis as to why some Chicanos and mexicanos get offended when you speak to them in Spanish? As a fellow Chicano, I find it hard to believe that raza gets offended by this genuine approach to them. Have you noticed this behavior yourself? That little dirty look that comes from when you say “Hola” to them makes it hard to even approach. Is this pattern more deeply rooted in the times where speaking Spanish was shameful act in the U.S.? And to be accepted, many Chicanos were prohibited from speaking Spanish? If the Reconquista was to ever be fulfilled, how would Spanish-speaking Chicanos, and non-Spanish-speaking Chicanos get along? Habla Henry

don’t think I will have the questions that I will need so anyways what good questions should I ask when I do my interview report about Mexican culture or anything about the Mexican things? Run Ronaldo Run Dear Wab: Asking the Mexican about questions to ask Mexicans about Mexicans? How meta! The only real pregunta I have for my raza that I don’t have an answer for is why more of you didn’t buy my Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America, or how come someone hasn’t started a torta chain that’ll turn Chipotle into the next Chi-Chi’s.

CONFIDENTIAL TO: Know Nothings who are trying to blame the recent measles Dear Henry is Speaking: As if Mexicans outbreak on Mexicans—it ain’t happening. Vaccination studies show that Mexicans are don’t have it hard enough—narcos back home, Know Nothings in the States, and a among the most vaccinated people in the United States, whether getting shots here as Mexican soccer team that probably won’t chicos or those crazy needles that our win the FIFA World Cup in our lifetime— comes this conundrum. I get the underlying parents and cousins had to undergo back in anger of Chicanos and Mexicans who don’t Mexico that left a giant mark on their arms want to speak Spanish—they’re upset you that looks like a Neolithic-era ceremonial scarring. The least vaccinated people in los don’t think they’re smart enough to Estados Unidos, on the other hand, are understand English, or are so ashamed of gabachos: Amish, survivalists, and suburban not knowing Spanish that they take it out on moms who lunch on kale. The myth of you. But the flip side to that is Mexicans Mexicans bringing pandemics to kill off who get enojados if you address them in gabachos is a tool that the Right tries to use English—as if you’re supposed to know again and again to further their career, but they don’t speak it! Can’t paisas and the last guy who tried it? Former CNN host pochos get along? And the answer is of course, no. That’s why the Mexican always Lou Dobbs? Remember him? He’s competing against a UHF signal nowadays, greets everyone, regardless of linguistic and that destiny will happen to all ability, with a mariachi cry, the universal conspiracy-spewing gabachos like him— language of chingones, and goes from oh, and beautiful half-Mexican grandkids. there.

Canonization (con’t from page 1) the missions, for reverting to their native religious practices, gathering wild food, hunting, or visiting their families. Moreover, the friars made changes to the Indian’s diet, supplanting it with European foods that weakened their immune systems and made them prey to diseases such as smallpox, measles and tuberculosis. The mission system, Miranda explains to Sonora, was a disaster. The Indian population was decimated because of European diseases, and the Indians lost their land, their religion, their language and their communities. And after the mission period ended in 1833, the remaining land was taken over by non-Indians and later by Anglo settlers who arrived with the Gold Rush. As for the priests, said Miranda, some were considered kind, and others mean. Father Serra, she says, defended the Indians at times, but “he never thought to ask, as you did, Sonora, what the Indians thought of the missions or the priests.” Serra, Miranda writes, believed that the Spaniards’ way was the only way, that Indians had to change, even if it meant killing them, or spreading disease, or denying their human rights. “This way of thinking is called colonization—a very strange way of seeing the world. Good luck with your report.” In other thoughtful essays, Native American educators deal with the sensitive question of how to talk to children about Spanish colonization and the missions. How does one tell the truth without terrifying the students? And how does one discuss the Spanish colonizers without demonizing them, since many were sincere and well intentioned? In another powerful essay, “Under the Lock and Key,” Terria Smith of the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla writes that the priests taught Indians patriarchy, a system that was violent and male dominated. Rape, physical abuse and imprisonment were commonplace at all the missions. Serra himself complained about the soldiers lassoing Indian women and raping them. “At times Indian men would try to defend their wives, only to be shot down with bullets,” he wrote. Smith believes the legacy violence and abuse against native American women is still a com-

mon phenomenon, but that “an essential part of the healing process is to understand what our ancestors went though.” The canonization of Fray Junipero Serra, that will take place in Washington D.C. this fall is largely the work of Catholic church dignitaries with a Eurocentric view of history. Chances are that if Native Californians had any say in this process, they would vote against it. Serra was not a champion of Indian rights. He occasionally intervened on their behalf, but he was a hard–nosed administrator who believed floggings were necessary if the Indians disobeyed the rules. Despite his good intentions, he was essentially a company man. True saints are not company men. They think outside the box. They are rebels and whistleblowers. They make things messy. The powers that be don’t want them around and try to silence them. Given the deep wounds created by the mission legacy, the California Franciscans should follow the example of Bishop Francis A. Quinn of Sacramento who made a public apology to the Miwok Indians of Mission San Rafael in 2007 for the church’s “cruel punishment of them” two centuries earlier. “Some of the missionaries treated them unfairly for not accepting European Catholicism and disciplined them for not following what they taught them,” said Quinn. He added that several Miwoks wept when they heard him speak and said his remarks were historic. And what about Francis of Assisi, who founded the Franciscan order? He was a pacifist who treated all creatures with deep love and respect. He even moved a worm from one side of the road to the other, so that “brother worm” would not be run over. He would never have tolerated abuse in any form to another human being. Francis would have vigorously opposed the disastrous and bloody joint venture of his friars with the Spanish military in the conquest of California. It’s time for the friars to apologize. Mark R. Day is a former Franciscan friar, journalist, filmmaker and labor activist. He is the author of Forty Acres: Cesar Chavez and the Farmworkers, New York: Praeger, 1971. [email protected]

Conferencia (con’t de pg. 1) todo lo posible para ayudarme a alcanzar mis metas”. MiraCosta College quiere animar a más niños y jóvenes latinos a elegir una carrera en la ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM), mediante la Encuentros Education & STEM Career Exploration Conference, el sábado 21 de febrero, en su campus de Oceanside. “La Encuentros Education & STEM Career Exploration Conference es un evento de empoderamiento para todos los estudiantes latinos de secundaria y preparatoria que son los más jóvenes, y el segmento de más crecimiento de la población en los Estados Unidos”, dijo la Dra. Sunita Cooke, presidenta / superintendente de MiraCosta College. “Para MiraCosta College es un honor poder acoger este evento cada año para ayudar a alentar y apoyar a estos jóvenes a alcanzar sus metas educativas y tener éxito en el mundo”. Y cuando se trata de carreras STEM, los niños y jóvenes latinos necesitan toda la ayuda que puedan conseguir. Según el fundador y director de operaciones de Encuentros Leadership, Roberto Rivas, el 53 por ciento de los niños latinos de California no termina la high school.

La conferencia forma parte de los esfuerzos la organización Encuentros Leadership para cerrar la brecha educativa entre los niños latinos, dijo, especialmente cuando se trata de carreras STEM y la matrícula en universidades. “Al abogar por el impacto actual de STEM, a los estudiantes no solo se les da la oportunidad de aprender sobre las tendencias y las futuras carreras de alta tecnología, sino que se dan cuenta de cómo la educación influye su futuro desde hoy”, dijo Rivas. Desde 2004, más de 10,000 estudiantes latinos del Condado Norte han asistido a la conferencia Encuentros. Rivas dijo que ha tenido un enorme impacto en la zona. “Hemos recogido los datos de seguimiento de muchos de nuestros primeros asistentes en 2004 y hemos descubierto que muchos han intentado y logrado sus títulos “, dijo. “Muchos de los niños que asistieron a nuestras primeras conferencias han regresado como voluntarios y han hablado elocuentemente en testimonios de cómo Encuentros inspiró sus metas educativas”. Este año, Huizar hablará de su experiencia en la transferencia de MiraCosta al MIT en una charla titulada From community college to MIT. Durante la conferencia los

estudiantes de secundaria y de high school tendrán la oportunidad de reunirse con profesionales latinos y de empezar a pensar en su futuro profesional. Huizar, el estudiante del MIT, dijo que todavía no puede comprender del todo poder estar en una de las mejores universidades para las matemáticas y la tecnología. “Todavía estoy tratando de creer esta increíble oportunidad que tengo”, dijo. “Todavía me siento abrumado por el ambiente acogedor y las muchas oportunidades en esta gran institución. Todos los días me despierto y me pregunto si estoy realmente aquí. No puedo esperar al día siguiente para aprender más de los increíbles profesoras y pasar tiempo con mis amigos aprendiendo y creciendo”. No hay ningún costo para asistir a la conferencia; sin embargo se sugiere pre-registro. Los organizadores esperan alrededor de 200 estudiantes en el evento.

(con’t de pag. 2) que su partido tiene mayoría en las dos Cámaras del Congreso. Interesantemente, no solamente no quiere devolverle ni un centavo a los indocumentados, sino que además quiere quitarle dinero a las compañías que violan la ley. Junto con el también senador Republicano Jack Reed, acaba de presentar una propuesta de ley que le sacaría un montón de lana a una serie de compañías, llamada Ley de Reforma y Transparencia en las Negociaciones. Sucede que las compañías y corporaciones acusadas de algo por el gobierno, por ejemplo de robarle salarios a sus trabajadores o poner sus vidas en peligro o lo que sea, usualmente resuelven las demandas en negociaciones directas, antes de arriesgarse al veredicto de un juez. Los jueces únicamente aprueban la negociación, y entonces las compañías ahorran dinero. Primero, se ahorran los

gastos legales, y segundo, pueden deducir de sus impuestos todo el dinero que no le tengan que pagar directamente al gobierno. Lo único que no pueden deducir son las multas del gobierno, pero usualmente no hay multas cuando hay arreglos. Por ejemplo, una pizzería Papa John’s le tiene que pagar 800 mil dolares de salarios robados a sus trabajadores, pero ese dinero no va al gobierno sino a los trabajadores, así que el dueño los puede descontar de sus impuestos. La propuesta de Reed y Grassley le quitaría a las compañías la posibilidad de descontar este tipo de pagos de sus impuestos. Otro ejemplo: Apple, Google, Intel y Adobe aceptaron pagar $415 millones de dólares por haber “conspirado en secreto” para dividirse las contrataciones de trabajadores disponibles para sus industrias y mantener sus salarios bajos. Los impuestos de $415 millones serían considerables.

Curioso que los Republicanos se lancen contra las empresas, pero a final de cuentas todo es cosa de lana. Por éso no les gusta lo de las devoluciones y créditos de impuestos a los indocumentados. Hasta ahora, pagar impuestos con ITIN es una ganancia neta para Estados Unidos. En 2010, los indocumentados que declararon impuestos pagaron unos 10 mil millones de dólares al gobierno, sin recibir a cambio ni servicios ni reembolsos. Peor aún, sin el ITIN, pero con números inventados del Seguro Social, el dinero se iba al Fondo en Suspensión del Seguro Social, que acumuló 345 mil millones de dólares. Por una vez, parece que los Republicanos se están portando parejos con los inmigrantes y con las compañías. ¡Quieren fregarlos a todos! Jorge Mujica Murias [email protected]
