Xavier The X-Man: “I want to help children in need”
36 YEARS of Publication 1976-2012 1976 2010 NOVEMBER 30, 2012 La Prensa Muñoz, Inc. Publications Vol. XXXVI No. 48 Latinos, Be Xavier The X-Man: “I want to help children in need” Careful What You Wish For By Pablo Jaime Sáinz Perspective By Arnoldo Torres HISPANIC LINK NEWS SERVICE There is growing doubt today whether our political system is able to deal with the realities that confront us and significantly impact our futures. U.S. voters were uneasy with the two presidential candidates they had before them. The turnout, lower than in 2008, reflects this disconnect. In the country where newscasts and networks speak daily about democracy and its greatness and candidates are compelled to wear a U.S. flag pin on their lapels, 93 million eligible citizens did not vote: 57.5 percent of all eligible voters turned out this month, compared with 62.3 percent in 2008 and 60.4 percent in 2004. I have been involved in Latino politics and public policy since 1975. I have participated in, and observed, national elections since 1976. I have been through the “sleeping giant” claims about Latino political power, the so- called “Decade of the Hispanic” in the 1980s, the steady ascendance to elected office by Latinos in the 1990s, and the recognition that both political parties are committed to the attainment and maintenance of power at the expense of Latinos. Throughout this time, the liberal and conservative media controlled and set the narrative for Latino political growth. We were talked about and analyzed but seldom were we part of that discussion on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Fox, CSPAN or MSNBC. Now, for the very first time, I believe Latino voters have arrived at a point where we can claim political power. The role we played in the election outcomes in key swing states of Nevada, Colorado and Florida are proof that we have arrived. The facts allow me to reach that conclusion. We went out and voted probably for the lesser of two damaged products. While our turnout efficiency was less in 2012 (78 percent) than in 2008 (84 percent), we now comprise 10 percent of the national electorate. This is consistent with the constant increase since 2004 at 8 percent and 2008 at 9 percent. Nationally, as demonstrated in these three key states, Latinos made up a growing share of voters. We have spent better than four decades working to get to this position. Many of our political mentors have been in the Democratic and Republican parties. We have run for office on the platform that to be fair and democratic, politics needs more Latinos. Seldom have we pressed political visions of specific policies we would introduce to remedy the problems we have talked about for the last 40 years. I believe we have not prepared to get to this point. We spent entirely too much time talking about our desire to get here. Now that we have arrived, what will we do? Think about it. We have three Latinos in the U.S. Senate, all of Cuban heritage. One each from Florida and New Jersey and now one born in Canada representing Texas. We have 28 in the House of Representa(see Latinos, page 8 ) Throughout the years he’s been a DJ at Magic 92.5 FM. Xavier The X-Man said he’s been able to see first hand how generous his audience can be. For the past decade, thanks to that generosity, he’s organized his now traditional Xavier The X-Man’s Annual Toy Drive, where every year members of his audience throughout San Diego bring a new toy for a needy child, who, otherwise, might not get a Christmas gift. This year’s toy drive will be on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 9 a.m. to noon at Luzitas Taco Shop, located at 60 E. J St., right next to Hilltop Middle School, in Chula Vista. The X-Man, whose show on Magic 92.5 is a classic in San Diego thanks to its selection of oldies, said that he uses whatever popularity he might enjoy to bring light to a good cause. “I want to help children in need. I am blessed to be behind a microphone on the radio where I can bring the attention to help those in need,” Xavier The X-Man said. “This is my opportunity to give back to a community that has given me so much.” Each year, the number of people who donate a new toy varies, but it can be up to 200, he said. Those who bring a toy will enjoy a free bowl of menudo. In addition to helping needy children, donors will also enjoy musica featuring DJ Wicho on the turntables, will be able to take a picture with Santa from Impalas Car Club, and see an array of cool low riders in a great classic car exhibition. In fact, The X-Man said that the low-rider community of San Diego is very involved in the toy drive, and car aficionados make a majority of toy donors. “People from all backgrounds do- Xavier The X-Man, left, with Santa and his helper. nate toys, but most of them are car owners,” he said. Xavier The X-Man said he understands that many in our community are struggling, and even buying a toy can be a hardship. “But our people find it within their hearts to buy that toy, and bring it here for a child that is even in greater need,” he said. “That is proof that my audience is great, that they have a big heart.” Xavier The X-Man y los Impalas Car Club Toys collected this year will be given to two community organizations, one of them being the Emilio Nares Foundation, which helps children with cancer.

Xavier The X-Man: “Quiero ayudar a los niños necesitados” Por Pablo Jaime Sáinz Durante los años que ha sido locutor en Magic 92.5 FM, Xavier The X-Man ha podido ver de primera mano que tan generoso puede ser su auditorio. Por la última década, gracias a esa generosidad, ha organizado su ya tradicional Xavier The X-Man Annual Toy Drive, una colecta de juguetes donde cada año miembros de su auditorio por todo San Diego donan un juguete nuevo para un niño necesitado, que, de otra manera, quizá no reciba un regalo de Navidad. La colecta de juguetes de este año será el sábado 1 de diciembre de 9 a.m. al mediodía en Luzitas Taco Shop, ubicada en el 60 E. J St., a un costado de Hilltop Middle School, en Chula Vista. The X-Man, cuyo programa en Magic 92.5 es un clásico en San Diego gracias a su selección de rolitas oldies, dijo que usa cualquier popularidad que pueda tener para traer a la luz una buena causa. “Quiero ayudar a los niños necesitados. Soy bendecido al estar detrás de un micrófono en la radio donde puedo atraer atención a ayudar a los que necesitan ayuda”, dijo Mariachi Masters White House Engagement see page 3 Xavier The X-Man. “Esta es mi oportunidad de regresarle a una comunidad que me ha dado tanto”. Cada año, el número de personas que donan juguetes varía, pero pueden ser hasta 200, dijo. Los que donen un juguete recibirán un plato de menudo.

PANKRATION (translates to “All Powers”) is a World Heritage MARTIAL ART, with the unique distinction of being the only martial sport in existence today that can legitimately trace its roots to the Ancient Olympic Games from 648 BC to 393 AD. and has a recorded history spanning well back to over 3,000 years. The three-day event brought together Mixed Martial Arts athletes from Greece (which is the birthplace of Pankration), Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, Australia, Kazakhstan, Cameroon, USA and countless other countries to participate in a true demonstration of the Olympic spirit from which Pankration originally emerged. Representing team USA was a fierce competitor, Laura Salazar. The aptly named “Lethal” Laura entered this event with a tremendous amount of momentum, having won the 2011 World Super Grand’s, the OC Open Martial Arts Championships, the prestigious Long Beach International tournament and the US National Pankration Championships. This young Latina hails from Rosemead and has only been involved in martial arts for 15 months. On the advice of a friend she joined the UFC Gym in order to lose weight and get fit. After being a member for three months she decided to try a Muay Thai class because she heard that it was fun. She quickly found out that it was also a phenomenal total body workout is well. Admiring the technique and skill of her training partner Monica, she began to train in the private LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO Deportation to Shattered DREAMs: Friendship Has No Borders By Nancy Landa MundoCitizen (Editor’s note: DREAMer Nancy Landa’s first-hand experience of removal proceedings by US Citizens and Immigration Services (USCIS)) I set foot on American soil as I got off the bus which had arrived at the San YsidroTijuana border. U.S. Immigration officers were standing ready to hand over to each of us a small brown bag tagged with a label imprinted with our names. When I opened mine, I notice that it contained my belongings I had with me when detained: my purse with just a cell phone and a small amount of cash I was carrying for the day. I was then escorted by the U.S. agent to a gate where a Mexican immigration officer was waiting. He asked me a few questions to verify if I was Mexican. But with no ID to prove I was one and with a spoken Spanish that seemed to be foreign, I was concerned the immigration officer would doubt my nationality. I was now only a deportee with no identity. I tried to keep myself calm as I answered each question. After with- standing the suspicious stare of the officer, he decided to let me pass. It was past 8 pm and I was on my own. With no time to reflect that it was my last moment on the side of the border that had been home to me for almost 20 years, I walked toward the first revolving door that welcomed me to Mexico. But unlike most tourists that pass through these gates on a daily basis, perhaps with a sense of exploration of what they expect to be a sightseeing adventure, I was beginning a fight for survival in unknown territory, with no family or friends living here whom I could call for help. I began to doubt whether I could endure the danger that was present in a town recently plagued by an outbreak of violence. I continued to walk down the corridor and noticed about 50 meters away was a second gate which I presumed was signaling the end of this transitory space. I was not yet ready to cross this gate, as I felt somewhat protected here. I needed some time to figure out where to go next. I noticed that some of the deportees that were on the same bus with me were forming a line at a small bungalow closer to the first gate I had exited. The sign above the entrance read Grupo Beta. After a brief conversation with some of the people waiting in line, I learned that this organization provides protection to migrants. One of their services available was a free phone call for each deportee so they could reach their family members. As I get in line, I remembered I was carrying my cell phone but was unsure if I could use it for calls. I then make a test phone call to one of my friends, and to my surprise it goes through! In a brief conversation, she informed me that three of my friends were driving to Tijuana to find me and ensure I was in a safe place to stay. At that very moment, I realized one thing: Friendship Has No Borders. Despite having a physical wall separating me indefinitely from the world I had known, my friends were there for me and were unwilling to let me face this situation alone. Although many challenges laid ahead as a result of an abrupt deportation, I knew I was blessed to have a community of friends that did everything they could to help in the transition.

Frontera NorteSur Caliente region of Guerrero, the signing troika appealed for peace in Mexico but vowed to act against the Zetas, Zeta leader Miguel Angel Trevino and “all those who support him.” The narco-banners also contained a parting shot at President Felipe Calderon, who leaves office on December 1. Accusing Calderon of being responsible for the deaths of “almost 60,000 innocent” people, the unknown authors blasted the outgoing Mexican leader for being “the worst (killer) of any delinquent group” in the country. In downtown Morelia, Michoacan, the three-headed, anti-Zetas “brotherhood” left another sarcastic message for Calderon last week, recogniz- ing losses suffered by their organizations but also boasting of casualties inflicted on the Federal Police. “With all your power and reach, it would have been a good plan for Michoacan if you could have treated your people with love and true justice,” the Morelia narco-banner read in part. “But given everything excuse us and since we are not going to have you as our ruler in December, we wish you, your family and your cabinet, as ( popular singer) Vicente Fernandez said, a beautiful farewell.” The Guerrero narco-banners recalled similar statements that were posted across Mexico in February 2010 and largely missed by the interna- tional press at the time.

By Khalil Abdullah NEW AMERICA MEDIA WASHINGTON— Alejandro Ascencio and seven other members of the Mariachi Master Apprentice Program and its instructors made the 2,700 mile trek from San Fernando to the White House to share the stage with First Lady Michelle Obama on Nov 19th, 2012. Had the group traveled by car across the United States through the southwest, the music and traditions for which they were being honored would have been easily available on the radio through half their journey on the way to being feted as one of the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program 2012 Awardees. Coming soon after a brief respite from speaking engagements at end of a tumultuous presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama acknowledged that it took her a few hesitant phrases before settling into a heartfelt welcome that exalted the promise of arts education and her husband’s administration’s continuing commitment to fully developing the human capital of America’s youth. Through the work of the programs being extolled, Mrs. Obama said, “You see kids who never considered going to college, finally saying to themselves, ‘Well, if I can publish my own writing, if I can create my own artwork, if I can get up in front of all these people and perform anywhere, including the East Room of the White House, well then certainly I can go to college, right?” Mrs. Obama asked. “Of course I can continue my education, expand my ambitions and pursue my dreams.” The 12 winners were drawn from the 50 finalists of over 350 entries and ran the gamut from programs that featured African dance, poetry, photography, theater, and visual arts to those like Oakland’s Youth Radio that provided training for internships in journalism and other facets of media. The International Spotlight Award was bestowed upon the Western China Cultural Ecology Workshop for its 100 Dong Songs Program designed to preserve the legacy of the Dong people. Starr Arroyo, a 15-year old Latina from the Bronx, described how being a member of the debate team of the Urban Assembly at the Bronx School of Law, Government and Justice, has opened new vistas for her. She said she is intent on going to college, inspired particularly by her mother and Latina Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, also from the Bronx. Echoing Mrs. Obama’s remarks, Arroyo said that “standing here in the White House, I feel the world is full of possibilities.” The First Lady said the ceremony honors not only the youth, but the instructors. She was struck, she said, by the motto of Seattle’s Art Corp — “Make art anyway” — that it captured the spirit of those dedicated to arts education for youth. “You teach them, that no matter what life throws your way, if they draw on their own talent and, courage and creativity; if they are persistent, and tenacious and bold – bold – then they can truly make something extraordinary of their lives,” Obama said, “because that’s what we expect, nothing but extraordinary.” For 15-year-old Ascencio, messages about ambition, dreams and being extraordinary were as resonant as the sixstringed guitaron he played during his group’s standing ovation performance during a musical interlude in the ceremony. Resplendent, as were his colleagues, in white-trimmed azure suits of the mariachi, Ascencio explained that his love of music began when he was four or five years-old and that he’s been playing music seriously for about eight years. “I started with the piano and then, from the piano, I started playing the accordion. I started playing Norteno music,” he said, describing the popular music that taps the blend of Mexico’s traditions infused with Czech, German and Polish elements from the European presence in the region in the late 1800s. “My father, from when he was small, he used to play with the mariachi. He sells houses and he had clients whose son was in this program,” he said of the troupe. “He thought it would be a good idea for me to join as an accordionist in mariachi, which is not very common. So, I go to the pro- gram; I audition. I made it as an accordionist, but over the years – I’ve been in the program two and a half years – I’ve learned several instruments: the guitaron, trumpet, vihuela – which is almost like the guitar, and the guitar.” He has decided he wants to be a professional musician or to be able to use music in his career for the rest of his life. “I’m looking into sound engineering, anything with sound whether it’s live or studio, or even sound effects for movies, studio tracks for movies — all that stuff,” Ascencio said. “It is so critical that we pre- serve arts education in our schools,” Mrs. Obama said. “It is absolutely critical because we know how important it is for our children’s development. We all know, every one of us who are here in this room will do whatever it takes to make sure that our own kids get access to sports and music and arts and recreation. So if it’s good enough for our kids, it’s good enough for all of our kids.” To see MMAP’s performances please visit http:// www.sfrcs.com/communityprograms/cultural-art-programs/mariachi-master-apprentice-program-mmap CONDADO DE SAN DIEGO AUDIENCIA PUBLICA Community Action Partnership (CAP) del Condado de San Diego, celebrará una audiencia pública en la Región Sur para dar a los miembros de la comunidad que estén interesados la oportunidad de dar su opinión sobre servicios sociales para familias de bajos recursos en San Diego.

Este noviembre, en el marco del Mes de la concientización sobre el Alzheimer, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation desea brindar su ayuda a los cuidadores que desempeñan una función crucial en la vida de las personas que padecen la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Los estudios demuestran que existe un mayor grado de responsabilidad entre las familias hispanas para cuidar a las personas mayores. Ser un cuidador puede ser una experiencia gratificante, pero también puede resultar muy difícil. Por eso es importante que se tome tiempo libre para conservar la salud mental y prepararse para afrontar los desafíos. Hacer ejercicio, llevar una dieta saludable y socializar con amigos son actividades que favorecen su bienestar general. Incluso solo tomarse unos minutos diarios para cerrar los ojos y respirar profundo puede ser un alivio. Cuidar a un ser querido con la enfermedad de Alzheimer puede ser abrumador, pero contar con información práctica y orientación profunda puede ayudarlo a permanecer en contacto con la realidad. Los siguientes cinco principios básicos pueden servir como base para una tarea de cuidado saludable. Hable con el médico. Puede resultar difícil hablar con un médico cuando se está preocupado por un ser querido que quizás está padeciendo la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Anote previamente los síntomas que observa, como cambios en la memoria, el humor o el comportamiento para no olvidar la información que desea compartir con el médico cuando tenga la oportunidad. Ser un cuidador puede ser una experiencia gratificante, pero también puede resultar muy difícil. posible que un cónyuge o un padre que solía ser independiente tenga que aceptar ayuda por primera vez en su vida. Un hijo puede tener que sostener a ese padre que siempre lo ha sostenido a él. Estas adaptaciones de roles pueden resultar complicadas, sobre todo al principio. Pero es posible hacer los ajustes necesarios para que se beneficien tanto usted como la persona afectada siempre que conserve la relación que los une en su mente. Consiga ayuda. La atención del paciente trae aparejadas muchas emociones difíciles de manejar. Miedo a la dependencia, a la soledad, a la aislación o sentimientos de culpa, rabia o depresión por parte del cuidador, todo puede formar parte de la experiencia. Por eso es tan importante mantener abiertos los canales de comunicación con amigos y familiares y solicitar ayuda cuando la necesite. Puede encontrar más información a través de grupos de apoyo locales o consultando a un profesional de la salud mental. que puede hacer por usted como cuidador/a es cuidar de sí mismo, primero y ante todo. De este modo obtendrá la energía que necesita para cuidar a su ser querido. Cuando se trata de afrontar la experiencia del cuidado, trate de centrarse en los días buenos y en todos los recuerdos hermosos que conserva. Conéctese con otras personas. Volver a conectarse con amigos y familiares, buscar apoyo en Internet y participar en la comunidad son todas buenas maneras de mantenerse socialmente activo y ver las cosas en perspectiva. Equipándose con información sobre la enfermedad de Alzheimer, también será capaz de atender adecuadamente las necesidades de su ser querido. Información en su propio idioma, que incluye una lista de los recursos se encuentra disponible en www.alz.org/ espanol. Cuidar a un ser querido es un gran desafío, pero es un acto generoso y puede constituir una experiencia gratificante. Siéntase orgulloso de sí mismo y de la atención que brinda a quienes lo necesitan. Lethal Laura El Soporte Informativo Para Millones de Hispanos Por Luisa Fernanda Montero Si bien es cierto que las preocupaciones de la vida cotidiana a veces nos superan, es cierto también, que tenemos la capacidad de controlar nuestras emociones y el poder de decidir que tanto nos afecta uno u otro asunto. Las exigencias de la modernidad son cada vez más altas, e ir al ritmo del congestionado mundo en el que vivimos se vuelve imperativo. La cuestión es cuál debe ser nuestra actitud. De acuerdo con la Asociación Americana de Psicología -APA- la tercera parte de la población de Estados Unidos vive en un estado de estrés extremo, mientras que el 49 por ciento – casi la mitad – cree que sus niveles de estrés han ido en aumento en los últimos cinco años. ¿Y su estrés? ¿Cómo está? Además de ser un dolor de cabeza y ser la causa principal de varias enfermedades, el estrés le daña la vida, afecta sus relaciones personales y disminuye su productividad. Así que al final del día, cuando nos estresamos, sólo estamos aumentando el problema. No me malentienda, no le pido que sea insensible o que “se haga el de la vista gorda”, lo que digo, es que nosotros y solo nosotros podemos decidir que tanto nos dejamos afectar por determinados sucesos. Para muchos de nosotros el día comienza con el estrés del tráfico vehicular. Para poner un ejemplo sencillo. Seguramente salimos tres, cuatro o diez minutos más de lo indicado y la larga fila de autos a la que llegamos a punto de gemir de desesperación, parece interminable o, de hecho, lo es. Es claro que pudimos evitarlo, pero ya estamos allí. Le aseguro, es más, le juro que por más que se estrese, active la bocina o se enoje, nada va a cambiar. La fila de autos seguirá siendo interminable. La cuestión es simple: hay circunstancias que podemos evitar y hay decisiones que podemos tomar. Si ya nos agarró la congestión vehicular, el taco, o el trancón y no hay nada que hacer es mejor relajarse, asumir las consecuencias y aprovechar el tiempo pensando en cómo las enfrentaremos, que dedicarnos a lanzar improperios. Y aunque el ejemplo parezca muy simple la verdad es que al final, la vida misma es más simple de lo que nosotros creemos. En su recientemente publicado libro The Worry Solution, el doctor y maestro de la Universidad de California, Martin Rossman, nos invita entre otras cosas a aprender a respirar. El simple acto de detenernos y respirar conscientemente puede disminuir notablemente nuestros niveles Luisa Fernanda Montero de ansiedad. Respire, haga ejercicio, busque técnicas de relajación que se amolden a sus necesidades y piense. Muchas veces, nos estresamos incluso por cosas que no han ocurrido. ¿Está seguro de que eso que tanto le preocupa realmente ocurrirá? Si está seguro, invierta el tiempo en la búsqueda de soluciones. Le aseguro que es más productivo, y si no, ¿entonces que le preocupa? Es muy probable que eso que tanto teme jamás ocurra. El Instituto Americano de Terapia Cognitiva ha encontrado que el 85 por ciento de los asuntos preocupantes no tienen un final tan oscuro como se temía e incluso que los preocupados resultan resolviendo el asunto mucho mejor de lo que esperaban. Así que usted decide si invierte su tiempo en angustias y dolores o prefiere darle un lugar adecuado al estrés y dedicarse un poquito más, realmente, a ser feliz.

The question is will it be four more years of the same old thing or will these board members take the bull by the horns and bring about changes that are so sorely needed. Bertha Lopez ran her campaign as a reformer, as the person leading the way against corruption, as a leader of the people. Pearl Quinones ran under the cloud of an indictment and had to face the onslaught of attacks against her character of honesty and integrity. The District Attorney’s investigation into Quinones and sitting board member Arlie Ricasa, along with the indictments against Greg Sandoval and former superintendent Jesus Gandara, coupled with the recent scandalous reports coming out of San Ysidro school district, clearly defines the systemic problems within the school board system. The question is will the re-elected board members, along with the board majority fix the problem or will they sit back and do nothing and allow the problems to continue and fester? What is wrong with the system: there are no term limits, there is no cap on campaign contributions, and there is a need for district-seated elections. Running for office is an expensive proposition and running for a school board seat that encompasses three cities, National City, Chula Vista, and Imperial Beach causes the cost of campaigning to exceed $100,000. Imagine raising $100,000 every four years in campaign donations. To raise this much money candidates, in particular incumbents running for re-election, have come to depend on special interests and contractor donations to fill campaign coffers. With no campaign contribution limits, it is not out of the question for a contractor to donate large amounts of money. The contractor knows that in the near future, he will be before the same board member seeking a million dollar contract. Without term limits it is the norm for board members to serve 16, 20, 24 years on the board. During this time the interaction, the line between campaign donors and board members becomes blurred between business associate/campaign donor and friendship. The solutions are simple and straight forward: 1: Put a limit on campaign contributions, no one person or entity can give more than $500. 2: Instead of open elections create smaller seat district elections. Not only will this create equal representation across the district, it will reduce the geographic size of the campaign area and cut costs. 3: Term limits. Two (2) four-year terms should be enough for any school board member. To allow these board members to serve 5 or 6 terms only invites more opportunity for familiarity and the opportunity for corruption and empire building. There are three ways to make these changes come about. One is for the citizens to put forth a resolution or a motion and the school board act upon it. Second, for the citizens to put a proposition on the ballot, it is a costly matter. The better way is for the school board to take it upon itself to bring forth these changes and put them on a ballot for the voters to decide. This would be the easiest and most expeditious way to bring about change. It is up to the current board members to do what is best for the future of elected board members. Election reform can help deal with systemic problems that occur not only at Sweetwater but in San Ysidro. We hope that the members of this board do not sit on their hands and do nothing about election reform. Not doing anything to correct the resulting problems from election peculiarities would be criminal in of itself, with all the problems and issues this board is facing. Mayor Filner’s Binational Office in Tijuana By Patrick Osio Director of Land Planning and many others in public office. In the private sector, the President of the Tijuana Economic Development Corporation, David Mayagoitia, with over 30 years experience in attracting industrial investment to the region, along with Flavio Olivier as the EDC’s Executive Director; Gregorio Goldstein, President of the new state of the art Tijuana World Trade Center; Luis and Hector Bustamante leaders in commercial and residential real estate representation. And on the list goes. Locally Filner will find numerous allies such as Hector Molina, President of CaNeMexA, the chamber of Mexican-American and Mexican business owners; Jason Wells, CEO of the San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce, Cindy Gomper Graves, CEO of the South County EDC. Political allies that he can call on to work with him on the binational endeavor will very likely include SD Councilman David Alvarez, who represents Filner’s old city council seat; Assemblyman Ben Hueso; in Chula Vista council members Rudy Ramirez and Mary Salas as well as the numerous business organizations and agencies, and educational institutions working with cross border counterparts. At a recent meeting of CaNeMexA exploring the topic Challenges and Opportunities for Cross Border Business Relationships, Chula Vista councilman Rudy Ramirez, who is also a cross-border business owner and Jose Antonio Gonzalez, President of the Mexican Entrepreneurial Council for Export Technology and Investment stressed the need for more dialogue and effort by both sides of the border and to jointly formulate plans for our region. As though taking a page from Mayor Filner’s vision, Mr. Gonzalez said, “We are only divided by a political line that should not interfere with our well being, development and understanding.” Mayor Filner not only merits our best wishes for the success of this historic first but also deserves out support as outgoing Mayor Sanders noted, “What is good for San Diego is good for Tijuana and vise versa.” The election of Bob Filner as Mayor of San Diego can have positive trans-border economic growth with his plan of San Diego’s opening an office in Tijuana for direct and timely communications with that city’s mayor, other city and state officials and business and community leaders. It’s long overdue. To be sure, the idea of closer cooperation between the cities of San Diego and Tijuana have been important with former San Diego mayors as most recently exemplified by Mayor Jerry Sanders who had a strong and amicable relationship with the former and present Tijuana mayors. Going back to Pete Wilson who worked closely with Tijuana city, state and federal agencies on the location of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, and Susan Golding establishing a direct telephone (Red Line) between her office and then Mayor of Tijuana, Hector Osuna Jaime, after the devastating El Niño storms that crippled Tijuana’s economy. Most previous San Diego mayor’s have had a Binational Affairs Director reaching across the border providing communication’s continuity; and the city of Tijuana keeps an office located within SANDAG. However, Mayor Filner’s move establishing the first San Diego office in a foreign country, albeit it’s immediate neighboring city, is not only historical, but it also takes the relationship to a positive new and higher level. It demonstrates the importance Filner gives the relationship and the desire and intention of creating a true binational region in which both cities have much to win. The timing for Mayor Filner could not be more perfect. He will find Tijuana’s present leadership to be dynamic and progressive. Headed by Mayor Carlos Bustamante, a multi-generation Tijuanense highly successful business and community involved family, who has surrounded himself with competent leaders such as Miguel Velasco Bustamante as the city’s Economic Development Secretary, past president of the EDC and Industrial Parks Association, plus the former Federal regional representative of the Patrick Osio is the Editor of Hispanic Department of Commerce; David Navarro as Vista.com. Contact at [email protected] Republicans never really understood the Hispanic voter By Jerome Orlando Torres political power at the state and local level is happening. This certitude stems from the reality that, not since the founding of our State, Latino children now comprise the numerical majority in California’s public schools. For a look into the future, one needs to look no further than New Mexico where 47% of the total population is Latino. Today, the Governor and Lt. Governor as well as 41% of the legislature are Latino – both as Democrats and Republicans. In one or two generations, the same will be said of Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and Florida. Yes, it will even be realized in San Diego County. The ranks of Latinos eligible to vote are growing unabated. This is a terrifying thought for many fearful of the implications. No vested interest gives up political power freely. So, what do we do now? At the national level, we must seize the moment and ensure Republicans and Democrats enact comprehensive immigration reform. This includes a pathway toward full citizenship for the millions of undocumented Latinos who have and continue to positively contribute to our society. In California, with the passage of Proposition 30, we must ensure that real education reform takes place that addresses the academic needs of Latino children. In San Diego, we must hold Mayor-elect Filner to his word that he will focus on neighborhoods and not on downtown business interests. We must also ensure Mayor Filner provides Latinos a seat at the table when it comes to developing policies that benefit the neighborhoods within which we live. In Chula Vista and Escondido, we must be fully engaged to ensure that City Council districts are created fairly to promote Latino empowerment. With the passage of Proposition B, a framework has been created in Chula Vista. With the defeat of the City Charter Amendment in Escondido, the struggle continues so long as Mayor Abed and his majority are in office thereby guaranteeing further litigation and acrimony. We just have to be patient and relentless. Our time will come. November 6, 2012, will long be remembered as a cathartic moment for the American Latino. Incensed by the verbal assault directed at Latino immigrants by the Republican Party and its Tea Party ideologues during the presidential campaign as well as the legislative assault in Statehouses throughout the South, we used our best weapon in response: our vote. In one synchronized voice, El Grito (or shout-out) reverberated across the American political landscape. After losing 71% of the Latino vote, resulting in pivotal loses in the swing states of Nevada, Florida and Colorado, Republicans were deprived of the White House. Joining the coalition of Democratic voters, Latinos helped prevent Republicans from control of the U.S. Senate and weakened their political strength in the U.S. House of Representatives. In the aftermath, so-called political pundits have suddenly had an epiphany: America is undergoing a fundamental demographic change and Latinos are the primary force. Chastened by the prospect of further political defeats in 2014 and 2016, Republicans in Congress and elsewhere are feigning contrition. They never understood, for Latinos, the primary issue wasn’t the economy, jobs, abortion, or family values. It was about respect. Provide that first. Then, we’ll listen to your party platform – maybe. Locally, the Latino vote was instrumental in providing Bob Filner victory in the Mayor’s race. DiMaio never had a chance with Latino voters. He can thank his friend and mentor, former Governor Pete Wilson for that. Ever since Proposition 187, the California Republican Party has been dying a slow death. It has been reduced to permanent minority status and potential irrelevancy. The time will come when the Arizona Republican Party will suffer the same fate at the hands of Governor Brewer. Why? It’s called critical mass. Numbers count. It is no coincidence 28 Latinos were elected to the 113th Class of the U.S. House of Representatives, the most ever. Or that the California Legislature has 23 Latinos among its ranks. In California, the inevitable ascension of Latino Jerome Torres is a resident of San Diego. Juan Vargas’ seat is open now that he is replacing Bob Filner in Congress which will cause all kinds of political fallout. Hueso runs for Vargas state senate seat, Steve Castañeda and Lorena Gonzalez run for Hueso’s Assembly seat… we shall see. All we know is that the political season is not yet over… Mayor-elect Bob Filner won because of the Hispanic vote… Now we will see if he includes a Hispanic, one Hispanic, in his kitchen cabinet… not some glorified position but a position of importance… So far Filner has selected Vince Hall as chief of staff and Donna Frye to something called director of open government (shouldn’t government already be open???) and he has keep on his chief of police, chief of the fire department, the chief operating office… so far no Hispanics…. Soak City in Chula Vista will soon become Aquatica, SeaWorld’s Waterpark, does that mean they will start selling beer there??? SeaWorld parks were owned by Anheuser Busch which is now owned by some German beer company… our beer company got outsourced???? Anyway, maybe now, that park will start making some money for Chula Vista. Mayor Sanders is spending his last few days in office making the rounds, sort of a victory lap for doing a good job. Don’t know if he did a good job or not, but we won’t forget the time he went on air and praised the minute men for going out into the fields The 4th council seat will be vacant come Dec. 31 when Tony Young steps down for a and canyons and rousting the workers camp better paying job, just goes to show politicians sites, trashing them trying to run them out… qué lástima! That and the San Ysidro don’t see this as serving the community but as a job, in most cases the only job they can massacre we will never forget…. don’t care if he did a good job as mayor or not, everyday get that pays that much, with all those we see his face it just reminds us… benefits… The 4th district became a little more solidified when they redrew the districts and carved out some of the more prominent Hispanic areas of the district making it more favorable for the Black community. So far Myrtle Cole of the UDW - The Homecare Providers Union and Brian Pollard a small business owner and one time candidate for the same seat have announced their candidacy. Sanders will soon be the CEO of the regional chamber, which explains why Ruben Barrales quit or asked to leave. Sanders is going to be making some big bucks, what with his retirement pay from being chief of police, retirement pay from being mayor, and now his salary as CEO of the chamber, Barrales made over $300,000 per year… talk about pulling down some change… LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO NOVEMBER 30, 2012 PAGE 7 Commentary/Opinion Page Control Your Space: It is the message not Reforma Migratoria: ¿a la tercera va the wrapping paper la vencida? By Rodolfo F. Acuña I am often asked what ideology I favor, and what tactics should Chicanas/os use to achieve equality. If I were living in the 19th Century I would take the question seriously. However, while this kind of conjecture is interesting, let’s face it, we live in another age. Ideologies are ideas to explain the mess we live in. Since I have a tremendous respect for the sages of the 19th century, I would not pretend to add to what they wrote; they are as relevant today as they were then. Add to them the descriptions of Charles Dickens in Oliver Twist of the street children in 1830s London, a phenomenon brought about by the Industrial Revolution. It seems pretty clear that the chaos Dickens and the sages sought to explain and prescribe a cure for was good old greed – even Gordon Gekko would recognize that. Greed is nothing new. People have known that usury is wrong for thousands of years. The ancient Hindus and Buddhists said it was as did the ancient Greeks that condemned practice as did the Hebrews and the Prophet Mohammed. The Catholic Church recognized the dangers of banking and loaning money at excessive interest. Usury was against the Natural Law, you could go to hell for it until the Church decided that it was a mortal sin unless the Catholic Church loaned the money, which was then done in the name of God. The only other exceptions were Jews who the Church fathers decided were going to hell anyway. At the same time, greed made it okay for the Church to sell tickets out of purgatory in form of indulgences. Although greed is still viewed as wrong the world is a much more complex and people rationalize it. People stake out beliefs, and justify their greed through appeals to a higher authority. They say that God gave them that right to be greedy. God is the final arbiter. Thus God gave nations land, like “he”, it is always “he”, is a real estate broker. God thus gives the individual level the right to ignore that other people’s children work in sweatshops to make toys to give them to your children at a low price. Aside from witnessing life, my ideas have been formed from a variety of sources. As mentioned the sages and my religious upbringing exposed me to ideas such as usury. From the scholastics I learned that if something is true then something that contradicts it cannot be true. It is just simple logic. Contemporary readings inform me daily. For instance, I always enjoyed the cartoonist/ playwrite Jules Feiffer. I am a huge fan of his 1960s satirical play “Little Murderers.” It is about Alfred, a onetime successful photographer, who has decided to eliminate people from his photographs and just film objects. Under trying circumstances he meets Patsy. Alfred is getting beaten up and mugged but he refuses to fight back. Patsy sees this and intervenes and the muggers turn on her and beat her. Alfred just walks away and does not lift a finger to help her. She breaks away and confronts Alfred who scolds her, why did she intervene? They would have stopped when they got tired of hitting him. Patsy sees this as a challenge. She wants to remake him into an assertive man who will protect her, and decides to marry Alfred. She takes Alfred home to meet her family who want him to be successful. Alfred loves Patsy, but he rejects her family’s idea that for him to be successful and his life to have meaning he has to return to photographing people. Alfred gets angry and says his photographs would have just as much meaning if filmed excrement. For Alfred the world is senseless, and he cannot feel passionate about the senseless urban and world violence, the senseless killings, prejudices and dysfunctional families. Alfred is contemptuous of society. Although some have tried to draw parallels between Alfred and Albert Camus’ “The Myth of Sisyphus;” they are quite different. Camus’ “The Myth of Sisyphus” is about “the absurd.” It is about Sisyphus who is condemned for eternity to roll a rock up a hill only to make no progress and have the rock roll back on him. Camus sees a conflict between what we want from life and the reality (chaos). Thus we can never know the meaning of life unless we make a leap of faith and place hopes in a God. We are left with the option of placing our faith in God or committing suicide. We either accept our fate and live in a meaningless world or give up. The conclusion that life is meaningless necessarily leads us to commit suicide. It can be argued that Sisyphus has resigned himself to uselessness, and the fact that the gods are punishing you. You accept your fate and you keep going. Gordon Gekko is a creature of greed. He says, “The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind…” When Gekko in Wall Street II gets out of jail he says, “Someone reminded me I once said “Greed is good. Now it seems it’s legal. Because everyone is drinking the same Kool Aid.” The positivists with their laissez faire philosophy would have been proud of Gekko; the other materialists would have seen him as the root of the chaos. I naturally side with the others – it is greed that causes inequality and ignorance. Take Arizona. I have found all three models there: Alfred, Sisyphus and Gekko, although most of the latter are wannabe Gordon Gekkos. In Arizona I saw many members of the Mexican American community react like Alfred who is just tired of the chaos and drops out of society. For them nothing is going to change, some went to the service, returned and still there is street violence, racism and a lack of opportunity. Why fight it? Others like Sisyphus choose to place their faith in another world and keep rolling that rock up the hill and accept its rolling back on them as their fate. They buy their lottery tickets and look forward to an afterlife. In Arizona there are very few Gordon Gekkos just a lot of wannabes. The real Gekkos include ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, and the Koch Brothers who are devoid of any scruples. They don’t care about right or wrong as long as they make a profit. They know Mexicans are not the problem but they demonize them anyway to make a profit. In this way, they can elect their puppets, fill their prisons, their charter schools, have liberal gun laws, sell arms to cartels, launder money from their illicit profits and pay low or no taxes. They know that Mexicans are not a problem but to make a profit and get their puppets elected people have to fear them. Thus they say that the body snatchers are taking their land. To fill up the prisons and reap hundreds of millions they target them and round them up like cattle. To steal public land and control Mexicans they have to keep them uneducated. Cadres of wannabe Gekkos toe the line. John Pedicone in Tucson – previously a school superintendent at a tiny school district parlayed three years as a superintendent there to take over the medium sized Tucson Unified School District at over $300,000 a year. Mark Stegeman, a failed economics professor who would have a hard time getting tenure at a California Community College heads up the board of education. They are willing accomplices. A great pretender is state Superintendent of Schools John Huppenthal whose claim to fame is that he authored 200 bills that supposedly improved Arizona Education. However, Arizona ranks near last in education nationally fighting it out with Mississippi for the worse. The other is Tom Horne, a failed lawyer who went bankrupt in 1970, and received a lifetime trading ban from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Both these losers resurrected their careers by race baiting Mexicans, joining the long line of wannabes. It is easy to recognize the source of the chaos in Arizona. It is going to take an awful lot more to bring it under control. But I believe that everyone has the right to live life to its fullest and to do this you have to control your space. How do you do it? Part of the reason why I am on Facebook is to encourage young people to read about the chaos around them and express ideas — to define reality. The only way this can be done is by knowing the truth and defining. That is why I encourage students to write. Anyone can write. I got a C in Freshman English at Loyola University. Well, everyone got a C. Frank Sullivan was probably the best teacher I ever had. He told us that C is average and everyone is average so unless you really messed up you wouldn’t fail. But to do better you really had to do extraordinary work for an A. Never called roll class and his classes were always full. The Jesuits protected him from McCarthy Hearings, Sullivan was a socialist. I am convinced that we have to write and write and write about what is happening in Tucson. Spread the message; forget about the colons, the semi-colons, and punctuation that will come with practice. Just write, everyone is a potential Gabriel Garcia Marquez. We have to document our struggle and the mendacity of people that want to condemn us to the ovens of ignorance. Remember it is the message, not the paper that it is wrapped in, that is important. WASHINGTON – Con la visita del presidente electo de México, Enrique Peña Nieto, a la capital estadounidense esta semana, son tres los dignatarios que ha tenido el vecino país en los pasados doce años sin que se haya concretado la esquiva reforma migratoria. Y en cierta forma, la visita marca tres diferentes etapas en los esfuerzos de impulsar esa reforma. La visita de Peña Nieto se produce tras una contienda presidencial en Estados Unidos que dejó más que claro el poder de los votantes hispanos en decidir elecciones y cómo el manejo que den los políticos al tema migratorio los define entre los electores latinos. Los resultados de esa elección constituyen un mandato para que el presidente Barack Obama impulse esa reforma e invierta capital político en el proceso, una inversión a corto y a largo plazo que supondrá réditos para los demócratas. Para los republicanos se trató de la más clara confirmación de que sin el voto hispano no pueden llegar a la Casa Blanca y por su propia supervivencia política deben negociar con los demócratas el asunto que por años han explotado para mantener a su base ultraconservadora ignorando los cambios demográficos producidos bajo sus propias narices que no sólo se manifiestan con más hispanos en sus pueblos y ciudades sino, eventualmente, con más poder en las urnas. Esta coyuntura de la visita de Peña Nieto es quizá la más favorable para esa reforma migratoria a nivel político en Estados Unidos. En el 2001, cuando el panista Vicente Fox visitó Washington, todos creímos que se habían alineado los planetas en favor de la reforma migratoria. La Casa Blanca era ocupada por George W. Bush tras una polémica elección, pero W. cuando menos no cambió su apoyo a esa reforma ni cuando buscó la nominación, ni como candidato republicano en la general, ni como presidente, aún a expensas de la oposición del ala más derechista de su partido. Pero los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2001 sepultaron la reforma migratoria. Si bien W. Bush invirtió capital político en su segundo período, el vínculo del terrorismo con la inmigración fue explotado por la oposición a la reforma migratoria y eso sumado a los dimes y diretes sobre los detalles de dicha reforma, impidieron progreso en ese frente. Lo único que avanzó fueron medidas policiacas y políticas de colaboración migratoria entre el gobierno federal y los estados cuyos efectos siguen reverberando entre la comunidad inmigrante. Se dieron los primeros pasos para el clima tóxico que ha caracterizado el debate migratorio y que fue génesis de todas las leyes estatales antiinmigrantes que proliferaron a través del país. Fue en medio de ese ambiente tóxico que fue electo otro panista, Felipe Calderón, cuyas visitas a Washington, particularmente su visita de Estado en el 2010, sólo constituyeron eventos sociales porque en materia migratoria, específicamente sobre la reforma, había poco que decir. Más bien el asunto migratorio se vio desde el prisma del combate al narcotráfico que marcó la presidencia de Calderón y la relación bilateral entre México y Estados Unidos. Es decir, bajo la presidencia de Fox la excusa de los anti reforma fue tildar de terroristas a todos los inmigrantes, aunque quienes perpetraron los ataques ingresaran legalmente a Estados Unidos; y bajo Calderón, la estrategia fue tildar a los inmigrantes de narcotraficantes y de hecho, este argumento se usó para atraer apoyo a leyes estatales antiinmigrantes como la SB 1070 de Arizona. Dos años después de la elección de Calderón, en 2008, fue elegido Obama con la promesa de revivir esas pláticas migratorias. Ya lo ocurrido es historia. Obama permanecerá en la Casa Blanca un segundo periodo con una renovada promesa de apechar el tema migratorio y con un Partido Republicano en el Congreso que está dando señales de aparentemente querer negociar la reforma que representaría más beneficios de los actuales para ambos países. Después de todo, la única constante de los pasados doce años ha sido la población indocumentada en Estados Unidos, mayormente de México, que ofrece mano de obra barata en Estados Unidos y remesas para México, pero sigue sumida en las sombras sin derechos y vulnerables a la explotación. Peña Nieto esta semana hará alusión a los paisanos que tuvieron que salir de su país por falta de oportunidades, y Obama alabará la estrecha relación comercial y cultural que une a los dos países. Una relación marcada por los millones de indocumentados que impulsan en gran medida las economías de ambos países, con su trabajo acá y sus remesas allá, y que esperan que este tercer intento de impulsar la reforma migratoria en Estados Unidos sea finalmente la vencida. Maribel Hastings es asesora ejecutiva de America’s Voice ¡ASK A MEXICAN! conscious hipsters want that? I was with some Dear Mexican: In President Bush’s cousins for a week State of the Union address, he reiterated in Lindsay, a major a need for a guest worker program. orange-picking city What is your opinion of such a program? in Central The program seems like mierda that California. They screws people over in the long run to own a mini-market me, but what do I know. Una Guerita Por Un Mundo Sin Muros :- and I’d go and help ) them everyday and got to know some customers. Many of the Mexican customers would come in and yell Dear Gabachita for a World Without Agooshtoo or wey to me and my cousins, Border Walls: Sorry I’m answering your and we’d yell it back and they would questionwhat, five years later? ¿Siete? But smile and get their beer. When they the sad part about my laziness is that the would leave they would say a rato and question remains relevant, and what we’d yell it back. I asked my cousins but Republicans once dismissed as Aztlanista claptrap from the mouth of Dubya (who will they didn’t really know much except that the first two were probably curse words. remain the best GOP friend to Mexis we’ll Any help? ever havemark my palabras) is now the GABACHO FROM GILROY gospel they’re preaching after the disaster that was their outreach efforts to Latinos Dear Gabacho: Wey is easy they’re during the 2012 presidential election. It’s saying güey, which as I wrote so long ago, in been absolutamente HILARIOUS to see one of the first ¡Ask a Mexican! columns, is Republicans wake up and smell the tacos the ass of Mexican Spanish, even though it over a decade after Latinos became a derives from the word for ox. But it’s not a political force, to see them lamely prop up fighting word, and you and your primos Florida Senator Marco Rubio as a should be honoredMexi men use güey as a presidential candidate (the only position he’s form of endearment among each other, ala worthy of is being Secretary of Coños), to the American English fucker and man. If see gabacho pundits ask themselves what they really wanted to insult you, they’d call Latino voters want without having a Latino you puto, pendejo, baboso, orbetter on their panels or asking said voters, andmost yetpinche puto pendejo baboso. Agooshtoo laughablythe idea of resurrecting the guestworker program. Conservatives love the idea sounds like a gusto (to be at ease), but it very well could be an indigenous language of having Mexicans work cheaply but not being able to become citizens, but it’s an idea like Mixtec or Triqui, since the Central Valley is home to tens of thousands of folks from that’ll fail as badly as it did the first time Oaxaca. A rato is the elided form of al rato, around, from the 1940s until the 1960s. For the last time, America: Mexicans are not just which means laterin this case, they’re telling workers; they’re humans who’ll notice living ustedes güeyes that they’ll be back in a bit for more beer.

By Gustavo Arellano PAGE 8 With th clock ticking on Turner, time to look to the future By Burt Grossman NOVEMBER 30, 2012 times tend to hinder a coach of Cowher’s style. Brian Billick- This is a no shot, but I had to include Billick because everyone does on these lists. Scenario two- AJ miraculously keeps his job as GM. This will seriously handicap the Chargers attempts to lure the best candidate to town. So where and who would that leave us with? People will float Chip Kelly at Oregon as well as Brian Kelly at Notre Dame, neither would take the job or more accurately leave their current jobs for this job or situation. So who would come here under AJ and still THINK they could be successful? Jim Mora Jr, UCLA-I like Jim and think the biggest knock on him is that he wears his emotions on his sleeve. That’s probably exactly what the Chargers need. Similar to UCLA, the Chargers are seen as a talented but soft team with no ability to deliver knock out punches or finish an opponent. Mora seems to have changed that attitude at UCLA in a short amount of time similar to what Jim Harbaugh has done at Stanford and the 49ers. Mike Zimmer, Bengals Defensive Coordinator- We will get a chance to see Zimmer at work this week when the Chargers face the Bengals. Actually with the blackout, we will get to hear it on the radio but not actually see it. But there is a lot of buzz about Zimmer and he shares what every coach on this list does – an intense competitive fire that is contagious. Rob Ryan, Dallas Cowboys Defensive Coordinator- Ryan would probably already be a Head Coach if he didn’t look like Lou Albano or some mess that stumbled out of a biker bar. He hasn’t gotten the memo that the NFL is a billion dollar image machine and that his look while fine for the Raiders of the 1970’s and 1980’s is frowned upon now- a- days. That’s sad because he is a great coordinator and maybe that’s the position where he should stay. Norv Turner was a great offensive coordinator in Dallas also but has been a complete failure as Head Coach of the Redskins-Raiders and Chargers since. My pick is obvious- Jon Gruden - from scenario one as well as overall. But let’s say we are stuck with AJ and scenario two. The choice then would be Jim Mora. Sadly if AJ is still here, I would advise that if you are a hard core Charger fan, you may prefer scenario three Doomsday December and the end of the Mayan long calendar December 21. Now that it’s official, aside from the “mathematically we are still alive crowd” let’s look at the candidates out there that will be in the hunt to replace Norv Turner. This will be an interesting story simply for the fact that there will be two pools of candidates depending on the status of AJ Smith. The first group will be comprised of proven winners that have switched from the sidelines to the broadcast booth. These guys are proven winners but also would be considered control freaks. No one of this first group would even slightly consider taking the job unless AJ Smith was gone and they were given complete control of their own destiny. Believe me there is no established winner out there that would ever sign on with the Chargers while AJ is still calling the shots – that would be the quickest way to becoming an established loser. So let’s assume AJ is also shown the door. Here are the names you will hear floated as the new Charger Czar (Coach/General Manager). Jon Gruden- I would say this would be the best fit. Gruden is young and energetic (49 years old). He has won everywhere he has been, and players like and respect his style. More importantly the dead lifelessness proceeded by panic on the sidelines will be gone under Gruden. He has a competitive nature and style similar to Rivers, and I believe it would become contagious. Does Gruden want to return to coaching, and could he get out of his five year Monday Night Football deal? Stayed tuned. Bill Cowher- Cowher is similar to Gruden except I believe Gruden wants to return, and Cowher does not. Many think the game has passed him by after seven years. With the new CBA, the players, and their Union signed this Grossman is a former No. 1 draft pick of year that may just be true. One day a week in the Chargers in 1989, playing five pads, mandatory off days and limited meeting seasons with the team. Latinos: Be careful what you wish for (con’t from page 1) tives, a net gain of four in an institution that has little support or respect from the public. It has been phenomenally dysfunctional during times when it needed to be at its best. Few of the newly elected Latino members have spoken yet about how they would help change these serious structural problems in Congress. Their campaigns were standard fare as campaigns go. In other words, they were not campaigns of new ideas, vision and specifics. With the exception of the Texas U.S. Senate race, most of these campaigns hit Republican incumbents hard or criticized the Republican position and philosophy. The campaigns were not about competing ideas, solutions or philosophies. The Texas race hardly addressed any of the main issues of concern to Latinos or the fact that the Republican and Democratic strategies had excluded the reality of Latinos that “one size does not fit all.” Before the ink was dry on President Obama’s victory speech, the liberal left in D.C. was orchestrating Latino immigrant groups to call out the president to move on immigration now that Latinos had “elected him.” This is so very disconcerting. Once again rather than initiate, we demand, we complain, we request we react. Rather than propose our version of what should be done on the issues of the day, we demand payment. This history-making contingency of Latino members of Congress should begin a serious and inclusive dialogue within our own large and complex Latino community on the economic issues that have historically hamstrung our future. Since we argue that the political establishment does not take such interest, our Latino politicos should demonstrate how to do it. While we are at it, we should include the issues of education, health and crime in our communities. We should not allow Senators Chuck Schumer and Lindsay Graham to lead the way on immigration reform legislation. They are not solution-driven, they are elements of appeasement! Both members are very far removed from the realities that are necessary to reach reasonable and practical solutions. We cannot afford to approach this challenge from an ideological or political angle. It is imperative that Latinos lead this debate with ideas that solve the human suffering, dilemmas and conflicts, unintended consequences that undocumented flows from various countries to the United States cause in this nation as well as in the countries of origin. Since we have bitterly pointed out the poor leadership this issue has received from both parties, since we have long been troubled by the separation of families, abuse of workers and discriminatory treatment of immigrants, we must set the standard for approaching this complex issue and not forget that it impacts all of society in one form or another. We cannot be myopic! We should be proud of what everyday Latinos and Latinas did this month. We all participated in a process that can lead to change. We must not lose sight of the fact that this is simply the first step followed by the responsibility to govern. The hard part is making things happen, bringing about the policies that benefit a nation, not one group. Remember the saying, “Be careful what you wish for!” Our wish has come true and we better perform a lot better than those we have been criticizing for decades. Sacramento-based public policy consultant Arnoldo Torres served as the national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) in D.C. from 1979 to 1985. He testified more than 100 times on immigration legislation and wrote several provisions of the 1986 reform bill signed by President Ronald Reagan. He has served as an expert on Latino issues for Univisión network over the last 12 years. Reach him at [email protected].

LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO Aztec Football Accepts Invitation to San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl The San Diego State football team has accepted an invitation to play Brigham Young in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl on Thursday, Dec. 20 at Qualcomm Stadium and will be televised on ESPN. The Aztecs defeated Wyoming, 42-28, on Saturday for their seventh consecutive victory to improve to 9-3 on the season and 7-1 in Mountain West play. The win gave SDSU a share of the MW title, its 19th overall and first since 1998. The seven straight wins is the fifth-longest streak in the country. “We are honored to be selected to participate in the 2012 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl,” San Diego State head coach Rocky Long said. “The Poinsettia Bowl is one of the best events I have ever been involved with and it will be a tremendous experience for our student-athletes. Best of all, we will have the opportunity to play in front of our fans and that will make for a great atmosphere on Dec. 20.” This will be the 36th meeting between the Aztecs and the Cougars (7-5) and first since BYU’s final season in the Mountain West in 2010. SDSU has lost five straight in the series, which Brigham Young leads, 27-7-1. San Diego State and the Cougars have played three common opponents this season in Boise State, Hawai’i and San Jose State. The Aztecs were 2-1 in those games (won at BSU, 21-19, and vs. Hawai’i, 52-14; lost to SJSU, 38-34), while BYU was 1-2 (won vs. Hawai’i, 47-0; lost at BSU, 7-6, and at SJSU, 20-14). The Poinsettia Bowl began in 2005, when Navy defeated Colorado State, 51-30. SDSU made its debut in the bowl in 2010 against Navy, where it played in front of a Poinsettia Bowl record crowd of 48,049. San Diego State’s 6.8 rushing yards per carry tied a bowl record, while Ronnie Hillman (attempts - 28 and rushing yards - 228) and Vincent Brown (receiving yards - 165) each set individual records. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets through SDSU as it will benefit Aztec athletics.
