39 YEARS of Publication 1976 2015 1976- 2010 Vol. XXXIX No. 10 Silver Wing Elementary parents: “We were ignored” By Pablo J. Sáinz Parents from a south San Diego elementary are claiming that Chula Vista Elementary School District admnistrators left them out of the process of permanently placing a charter high school on the elementary school’s campus. At a Feb. 26th special meeting the district’s board approved the construction bid for Chula Vista Learning Community Charter High School on Silver Wing Elementary’s campus, something the parents said they had no voice in. “We were totally blindsided,” said Rosa Surber, a mother of a 5th grader at Silver Wing, during a recent meeting of several concerned parents at an off-campus location to discuss how they will respond to the issue. “Parents weren’t part of the project. We were ignored.” But the issue goes back almost two years, when in May 22, 2013, the school district board approved several items for the high school to be placed on the Silver Wing campus. Since then, the high school and the elementary school have shared the campus, only separated by a chainlink fence. Surber said parents didn’t know about it then, and for two years the school principal and district administrators didn’t address parents’ concerns. She added that it wasn’t until a February 18th baord meeting last month that parents were told about the district’s decision to place CVLCC High School permanently on the Silver Wing campus. Padres de una primaria en el sur de San Diego están alegando que administradores del Distrito Escolar de Chula Vista los dejaron fuera del proceso de la colocación de una high school tipo charter en el campus de la escuela primaria. En una junta especial el 26 de febrero la mesa directiva del distrito escolar aprobó el contrato de construcción de la Chula Vista Learning Community Charter High School en el campus de la Silver Wing Elementary, algo que los padres dijeron no tuvieron voz en el asunto. “Nos mantuvieron fuera”, dijo Rosa Surber, madre de un estudiante de quinto grado en Silver Wing, durante una junta reciente de varios padres preocupados en una ubicación fuera de la escuela para tratar cómo responderán al asunto. “Los padres no fueron parte del proyecto. Fuimos ignorados”. Pero el tema ya tiene casi dos años, cuando en la junta de la mesa directiva del 22 de mayo del 2013, la mesa directiva aprobó varios asuntos para que la high school fuera colocada en el campus de Silver Wing. Desde entonces, la high school y la primaria han compartido las instalaciones, solo separadas por una barda de malla ciclónica. Surber dijo que los padres no sabían nada sobre lo que iba a suceder, y por dos años la directora y los administradores del distrito escolar no hablaron del tema con los padres. Añadió que no fue hasta la junta del 18 de febrero que los padres By Pablo J. Sáinz Although many people consider marches in favor of the 43 missing college students in southwestern Mexico worthless, an uncle of one of the students said that these events of solidarity give their families hope and courage. “My brother is devastated because his son, Jorge, has been gone for five months, but when he told that when he sees these shows of affection and solidarity from so many people across the world, he gets new energy and a new hope,” said Raul Alvarez at a recent march from the Mexican Consulate in Little Italy to the NBC news studio in downtown San Diego. The march, which took place on Saturday, Feb. 28th, was organized by Comité Acción Ayotzinapa, a local organization that has been at the forefront of this movement in San Diego in favor of the missing students’ families. The 43 missing students were kidnapped five months ago, in September, in the Mexican state of Guerrero, alledgely in the hands of local authorities and drug traffickers. The 43 missing were students at a rural teachers college. The purpose of the march was to remind people in San Diego that the families of the missing students are still demanding justice from the Mexican government. “The base of this movement is support and human solidarity, and this march is to echo San Diego’s presence in this worldwide struggle for justice, to find the 43 students and in (See Ayotzinapa, page 4) (See Silver Wing, page 5) supieron de la decisión del distrito de colocar la high school de manera permanente en el campus de la primaria Silver Wing. La mesa directiva pospuso su decisión final en esa junta y los administradores del distrito escolar, incluyendo a la directora Ruth Díaz de León, aceptaron que el distrito no se había comunicado de manera apropiada con los padres. Pero Anthony Millican, director de comunicaciones para el Distrito Escolar de Chula Vista, dijo que la supuesta falta de comunicación entre el distrito y los padres es cuestión de opinión. El miembro de la mesa directiva, Eduardo Reyes, quien fue electo junto a otros dos nuevos miembros en Noviembre, dijo que la colocación de la high school fue aprobada desde antes que los nuevos miembros llegaran a la mesa directiva. Reyes dijo que cuando supieron de este tema, todo lo que quedaba era votar por la selección de la compañía constructora que se encargará de construir el edificio de dos pisos. “Nuestras manos estaban atadas, esto ya había sido aprobado”, dijo. Hay varias preocupaciones de seguridad que los padres de Silver Wing han declarado acerca de tener una high school en las instalaciones de una primaria, no solo el haber sido mantenidos fuera de la discusión. Una maestra de Silver Wing, que pidió permanecer de manera anónima por miedo a represalias, resumió esas preocupaciones: (Veá Silver Wing, pag. 5) MARCH 6, 2015 San Diegans ask for justice in Ayotzinapa The school board tabled that decision at that meeting, and district administrators, including Silver Wing Principal Ruth Diaz de Leon, accepted the district had not communicated properly with parents. But Anthony Millican, director of communications for the Chula Vista Elementary School District, said that the supposed lack of communication between district and parents is a matter of opinion. Board member Eduardo Reyes, who was elected along with two other new board members in November, said placement of the high school had been approved since before the new board members came on board. Reyes said that by the time they were told about this issue, all that was left to do was to vote on the construction bid for a two-story building. “Our hads were tied, this had already been approved,” he said. There are several safety concerns Silver Wing parents have voiced about having a high school on the elementary school campus, not only having been left out of the discussion. A Silver Wing teacher, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, summed up those concerns: “It is completely inappropriate to have high school students on the same campus (as elementary school students),” the teacher said. “I have an extensive background in child development. It’s just wrong developmentally. Besides the fact that stakeholders did not have an opportunity to share, the parking is going to be a real Padres de la Primaria Silver Wing: “Fuimos ignorados” Por Pablo J. Sáinz La Prensa Muñoz, Inc. Publications Raul Alvarez, uncle to missing student Jorge Alvarez, bolstered by the support shown in San Diego and from around the world. The Anointed Son By Mimi Pollack It couldn’t always have been easy growing up as part of “Chicano theater royalty” or a Latino dynasty, yet Lakin Valdez, son of Luis and Lupe Valdez, comes across with ease and grace. The youngest of three brothers, all of them working in various aspects of theater, film, and television, Lakin is unassuming, smart and thoughtful. He glowed with pride when talking about his older brothers, Kinan and Anahuac. He was aware of the legacy he is following as the son of Luis Valdez, the man who founded El Teatro Campesino, wrote and directed Zoot Suit and directed La Bamba. It is obvious that the Valdez clan is very close, and they take pride in each other’s accomplishments. Lakin had an unusual childhood as he grew up traveling around the country with a large group of Latino community artists committed to social change. He was even born on the same day his father finished writing Zoot Suit. His whole life, he has been surrounded by artists, such as Edward James Olmos, who had one of the leads in Zoot Suit. Lakin wryly observed that the performance troupe Culture Clash had played roles in his father’s productions, and now he was playing roles in their productions, such as El Henry, written by Herbert Siguenza, which SD REP presented last summer. This is the second time Lakin will Lakin Valdez, considered “Chicano theater royalty”, will star (see Anointed Son, page 3) in “Oedipus El Rey”, a new play, written by Luis Alfaro at the SD Rep.

A roaming belt seller, Estrada said sales had increased a bit since January, the notorious Mexican month of bill-paying for everything from government taxes to the family vacation over the Christmas holidays. Perhaps best of all, Estrada noted that he had sold four belts on this day to “Americanos,” the writer included. “Barely this year (US tourists) started coming,” the street vendor said. Although Estrada said inspectors had confiscated two belts from him earlier in the day, he was quick to add that making a living selling the products “was worth the risk.” Above all, downtown Juarez on weekends resembles a musical carnival. At the intersection of Avenida Juarez and 16th de Septiembre, an indigenous Raramuri man dressed in traditional garb played a sweet violin. Stationed up the plaza near the cathedral, German Martinez and fellow members of Tamborazo Zacatecano pounded out a brassy, percussion-driven sound, the musical genre that is the massive soundtrack every year to Aguascalientes’ San Marcos Fair, Mexico’s largest spring fair. Band spokeswoman Estefania Romo defined the tambora sound as a sort of “country music” that is popular in Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas and other states. In addition to playing for tips in the downtown plaza, Tamborazo Zacetacano does parties and other events, she said. Not far from the frenzied beats and foot-stomping bursts of trumpet, another band let loose with an entirely different sound. Attracting an enthusiastic and largely older crowd, Juarez’s La Franja Fronteriza, or The Borderline, ground out their covers of “Let it Be” and “Proud Mary.” Inside a large human circle surrounding the musicians, older women and couples with big smiles and joyful eyes flashing from their faces danced on the street to the anthems of their youth. Ranging in age from their 40s to 70s, the members of La Franja Fronteriza are seasoned veterans of Juarez’s rock music scene. Formed about five years ago, La Franja Fronteriza is composed of drummer and singer Paco Martinez; Ricardo “Kalin” Lujan Gonzalez, guitar and keyboards; Victor Hugo Arecco, drums and percussion; Fernando Flores, lead guitar; and Demetrio Garcia, bass guitar. “It’s our intention to preserve the musical genre that moved Juarez before,” Martinez told FNS. Like the other street musicians, La Franja Fronteriza relies on tips to keep the music flowing. Martinez said the tip money beats the long hours and low pay many musicians put in at the city’s many bars. “It’s better here,” the rockn-roller insisted. “We don’t want to turn ourselves into slaves. Many colleagues are working like that because they have no other alternative.” Paco’s brother, Mauro Martinez, contended that the downtown revitalization and the opening up of the big plaza has served both the musicians and public well. “It’s better than before. People walk easier and more peacefully,” Mauro said. Featuring English-language lyrics, La Franja Fronteriza has something of a following on the other side of the border. Paco Martinez said the group had been invited to perform in El Paso, Los Angeles, Chicago and other U.S. cities, but could not comply for one simple reason. “We don’t have visas,” the singer sighed. Meantime, Martinez implored his northern neighbors to come and see the group on its home turf. “Don’t be afraid to visit the neighbor city of Juarez,” Martinez urged. “We love you, USA!” If anything, the accent on downtown Juarez’s outdoor musical scene is on rock. Every Saturday and Sunday, from late morning to early evening, visitors can catch many electrified bands in a large zone extending from the big plaza to the Abren Segunda Edición de Taller de Cine Documental Sergio Brown, imparte Taller de Cine Documental en el CEART género de cine, egresados de Cultura de Baja California y la la Universidad Autónoma de coordinación del mismo estuvo Baja California y con estudios a cargo de la compañía de complementarios en otras Ballet Folklórico Cardones de Baja California, quien reunió al instituciones.

On Sunday afternoons, the scene is even bigger with additional bands performing at the Bazar del Monu held astride the Benito Juarez Monument farther down on Vicente Guerrero. At the Velarde Street corridor’s entrance, the three members of Los Lagartos, or The Alligators, took a pause in their afternoon repertoire of “Rollover Beethoven” and other songs heartily delivered in the rockabilly style. An aspiring songwriter, Alberto Griego, tagged along with the crew. A singer with an Elvis-like inflection who plucks a mean cello bass, 23-year-old Dorian Rodriguez took a moment to speak with FNS about the group’s music and recording plans. Rodriguez rattled off several reasons why he likes rockabilly: “The rhythm, the style of the time, the dance, how it was danced, the style of dress.” Besides Dorian, the trio includes his 22-year-old brother Edwin Rodriguez on guitar and Juan “The Ghost” Silva on drums. A young man with a stubble beard and a healthy head of hair, Edwin was dressed in a psychedelic colored tshirt emblazoned with the name “Woodstock” on the front. The t-shirt was a gift, he said. Many musicians are flocking to the downtown street scene, putting a cramp on tips, Dorian said. “We started out good but it’s slowed down,” the bassist said about the weekend take. “There is a lot of competition. There are a lot of bands in the downtown.” By late afternoon, another band kicked out the jams near the spot where La Franja Fronteriza earlier played. Distinct from the softer rock of La Franja Fronteriza or the rockabilly of Los Lagartos, the three players of Roller Papers create a heavier sound in their renditions of classics like “Crimson and Clover” and “Radar Love.” Guitarist and singer Esteban Martinez mentioned The Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix as other favorites of the band. Attired in check- ered shirts with long hair tumbling over the their shoulders, Martinez and the bassist look like countercultural twins, while the drummer sports a Jimi Hendrix Afro in the making. But make no mistake about it. Roller Papers is a young band, and Martinez a crossborder baby. Only 24 years of age, he grew up seeped in rock n’ roll as he learned English on a seven-year journey into the deep reaches of Migrant America-El Paso, Kansas City, Denver City in Texas and the little town of Cuba, New Mexico. “It’s a border and we share two cultures,” Martinez commented on the popularity of rock in Juarez. The young rocker and his band mates are part of a musical community that now transcends multiple generations. If the veteranos like La Franja Fronteriza are the grandfathers and fathers, groups such as Roller Papers and Los Lagartos are the children and grandchildren following in their rock elders’ boogie steps. “We’re friends, we all know each other,” Martinez said. Roller Papers’ front man even credited an earlier collaboration with Edwin Rodriguez for helping spur the current outdoor scene with performances at the Velarde Street corridor several years ago. But like La Franja Fronteriza, Roller Papers probably won’t be playing at a U.S. venue anytime soon. That’s because of a problem related to a word in the group’s name. “We don’t have papers, passports,” Martinez said. Instead, the musician extended an inviting hand to music lovers in El Norte. “Every weekend, the downtown of Juarez is a party,” Martinez added. “It’s very beautiful here in Juarez. You have to get to know it, not only the bad.” Shifting philosophical gears into overdrive, Martinez laid out his group’s heady mission. “Our purpose is to make sure rock n’ roll doesn’t die,” the border rockero vowed.

For many, it’s become almost habit to expect the festival to be at Mission Valley’s Hazard Center, however, as the festival continues to grow in every angle, so does its ambition to garner more ticket sales and sponsorship opportunities. As a result, this year, the SDLFF has launched into a new venture hand in hand with AMC’s Fashion Valley 18 theaters, calling it its new home for the duration of its run. Ethan Van Thillo, Director and Founder of The San Diego Latino Film Festival expressed great enthusiasm towards this brave move. “With the film festival now being at one of San Diego’s number one destinations (i.e. Simon Fashion Valley Mall), we not only expect more attendees, but we also expect more organizations and corporate partners to get involved. The Simon Fashion Valley Mall attracts over 18 million visitors per year. Additionally, many of the stores in the mall are partnering with us this year.” With that in mind, make sure to take the Friars Rd. exit west when attending. Other notable changes for the festival include the first-ever Creative Careers Expo. That’s right, who would’ve thought going to the movies = career opportunity. The Expo is looking beyond just film and media says Van Thillo. “We’re partnering up with the Jacobs Center for Non-Profit Innovation on this Expo, because the lack of diversity in most creative careers is staggering. We need more young Latinos, African Americans and immigrant youth to get involved in careers in technology, software, visual arts, journalism, film/video, music, fashion and more.” The event is free with keynote speakers, guest celebrities, booths representing over 11 creative industries, hands-on workshops, live music and video game competitions. The Expo will take place on Saturday, March 14 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. As it is tradition, with the festival come latin films from all over and with them some of their celebrity artists. In the past, SDLFF has had the honor of being host to filmmakers like recent Oscar winner Alejandro González Iñarritu, also Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón, Gaél García Bernal among others. This year’s celebrity line-up includes Kate del Castillo, Edward James Olmos, Sandra Echeverria, Maria Rojo, and Adal Ramones to name a few. There’s no additional cost to meeting the artists, they will also answer Q & A’s before their films. There are a number of films you should take advantage of during the festival, some cre- ate a lot of buzz because of the renowned participation of the actors in them, others because you’ve seen them advertised. Don’t bypass those films you normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to see though, for example, short films usually surprise with remarkable creativity and often get overshadowed. If you’re undecided on which ones to see, “Transito” and “Los Contreras Family” sound like a good start. The must see movies according to the very guy bringing it all to you are: “Messi”, a documentary about an Argentinian boy who dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player and instead became the world’s greatest soccer player ever. “Iglesia’s brilliant cinematic lens captures Messi’s awe-inspiring prowess of the sport. A true experience for any supporter of the beautiful game” confirmed Van Thillo. He also recommends “El Objeto Antes Llamada Disco” , a concert documentary that follows the rock band, Café Tacvba, as they record their most recent album. Another music related feature this year is “Gloria”, controversial pop icon, Gloria Trevi, delivers the biopic many have been waiting for about how she made it to stardom, her time behind bars and her release. “Muerte In Buenos Aires” is a new thriller starring Oscar nominated actor, Demian Bichir, where he plays a family man and a detective who must solve a mysterious crime. All takes plays in Buenos Aires in the 1980s. Finally, if you’re in for a little laugh don’t miss “Delirium” about three friends who decide to make a low budget film. The production goes unsurprisingly off-course, leading to a situation that catapults the trio into the center of the public’s eye for all the wrong reasons. There seems to be a little something for everyone at festival, for example the Student Outreach Screenings. This is a program that allows elementary thru high school students from local schools to attend the film festival for free. “This year’s free screenings will take place March 16-19, from 10 a.m. -12 p.m. It’s a great opportunity for youth to see Latino Cinema for the first time and experience the film festival” says Van Thillo. He hopes that students will in turn continue to attend the festival as they get older. SDLFF definitely plays an important role in the region’s cultural landscape, attracting over 20,000 people each year, promoting the region and bringing in tourism from Baja California; as well as from Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange County, and Imperial Counties. The festival, however, is just a part of a much larger impact that the overall organization has on the region. Van Thillo explains that “over the years, Media Arts Center San Diego has provided over two million dollars via its production opportunities, fiscal sponsorship or teaching opportunities back to local San Diego/Tijuana filmmakers/media makers. Additionally, MACSD has educated thousands of youth and adults in video production/technology training, allowing these individuals to get careers in the industry or find new educational opportunities. Finally, MACSD’s redevelopment and community development efforts in connection with its’ Digital Gym community technology center and movie theater, has helped transform a once underdeveloped area in North Park. Now, in addition to our facility, local restaurants have come in, new retail stores have arrived, and we’ve create a vibrant and growing neighborhood.” PAGE 3 The Anointed Son (con’t from page 1) appear in a SD REP production. Last summer he starred in “El Henry”. This time, he will star in “Oedipus El Rey”, a new play, written by Luis Alfaro and directed by Sam Woodhouse that will run March 7th through March 29th at the Lyceum Theater. In both plays, his role was and is that of the prodigal or anointed son coming home and struggling with his destiny. In real life though, Lakin doesn’t seem to struggle at all. He is grateful for every opportunity and takes pride in all that he has done. He has worked as an actor, writer, and director. He served as El Teatro Campesino’s Associate Artistic Director from the years 2000-2005.Since 2004, he has written, directed and performed in over a dozen plays, culminating in work that reflects the rich history and vibrant culture of the Latino/ Chicano community. He is the recipient of two NPN Creation Fund awards, a Zellerbach award, and an NEA Access to Excellence award for his generative work. As a stage actor, he has performed with Campo Santo, San Jose Rep, San Diego REP, La Jolla Playhouse, Goodman Theatre, Marin Theatre Company, Magic Theatre, L.A. Theatre Works and El Teatro Campesino. Oedipus El Rey is the acclaimed playwright Luis Alfaro’s vision of the Greek classic, blending Greek mysticism, Mexican ritual and Southern California’s barrio culture. Lakin commented that Alfaro’s talent is in giving new meaning to something relegated to the past, and making it relevant now. Lakin confided that it was a way of taking a classic and transforming it into a modern play of youth and hubris, of young men of color looking for opportunity and options and finding none, unless they can transcend their fate. Of course, it is also a play of the passionate love of a mother and son and promises to be a play full of tension, desire and eroticism. It is a role that Lakin was born to play with his natural sensuality and social consciousness. Arranca primero con la velocidad de Cox.

(con’t from page 2) Manny Aguilar with Elena Marques, co-coordinator support of their parents,” said Elena Marques, co-coordinator for the Comité Acción Ayotzinapa. Some 30 people joined the march in front of the Mexican Consulate around 1 p.m. From there, the march continued to the NBC news building in downtown San Diego. “Parents of the missing students have keep telling the world, ‘Please don’t forget about us,’ so this is our way of telling them we won’t forget about their plight,” said Marques, who is of Portuguese origin. Manny Aguilar, an activist from Los Angeles who came to San Diego to join the march, said that he wanted Latino youth in San Diego “to stop being so indifferent to what is happening and to stop worrying about the Chargers stadium, and instead to focus on the social issues going on around the world, which affect all of us.” Aguilar added that “our people whould stop wasting time in front of the computer all day long, and they should learn what is really happening in Mexico and even in the streets of the United States.” During the hour that the activists were in front of the Mexican Consulate, the offices were closed, being a Saturday. Clara Gomez, a mother who lives and San Diego but emigrated from Mexico, said she wanted to join the march to raise her voice. “I’m very mad for what is going on in Mexico”, she said. Alvarez, the uncle of one of the 43 missing students, said that his brother’s life has changed so much since his son went missing. “He doesn’t eat, he is only focused on finding my nephew,” he said. “He cries a lot, but he doesn’t give up. When he sees people around the world marching and protesting like today here in San Diego, he said he doesn’t lose his faith that he will find his son alive.” To learn more about the march and about the Comité Acción Ayotzinapa and future events, you can contact them at sandiegopresente@gmail. com or visit their Facebook page, Acción Ayotzinapa.

KIDS UNITE! brought together 1,200 students from 7 elementary schools in San Diego and one high school in Tijuana. Students first participated in a beach cleanup at Borderfield State Park and Playas de Tijuana before forming a giant aerial art formation in the sand, which was photographed from the helicopter above. I Love A Clean San Diego, an environmental nonprofit serving San Diego since 1954, coordinated the effort in both San Diego and Tijuana, with help from almost a dozen partners. This program is an initiative of the California Coastal Commission and Kids’ Ocean Day.

There is already a lot of traffic. They are on a scattered schedule but parents get into arguments all the time and some staff at the high school keep telling the parents that the parents cannot use the overflow parking. Ms. Diaz De Leon said that it is shared. And that is not happening. They put up a fence and then they put green plastic around it. I think students will be more curious than ever.” Surber said that she thinks this wouldn’t have happened if Silver Wing was in the eastern side of the school district, in the Eastlake or Otay Ranch areas. “For too long our community has been ignored, but we will raise our voices, and will de- mand an explanation,” she said. Surber said they have reached out to local elected officials for help. San Diego Councilmember David Alvarez, which represents the area where Silver Wing is located, sent a representative to the February18th board meeting to learn more about this issue. “The charter school siting at Silver Wing Elementary School was recently brought to my attention by concerned parents and members of the community,” Alvarez said. “Although plans for the charter school began in 2012, it is apparent that community input and communication were left out of the process. It is always important for public entities to find ways to remain open and transparent with the public. I have requested that the Chula Vista School District keep my office informed on this project, as well as future projects impacting the community.” At the end of the day, the Silver Wing teacher said that “I do not think there was transparency in this case. There was a lack of communication since May 2013.” Surber and other parents said they will continue to press the school district to stop construction of CVLCC High School on the Silver Wing campus. “Even if nothing changes, we want our voices to be heard,” she said. “They will not ignore us anymore.” Padres de la Primaria Silver Wing: “Fuimos ignorados” (con’t de pag. 1) pero vamos a alzar nuestras voces y exigiremos una explicación”, dijo.

PAGE 6 MARCH 6, 2015 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO A Charter High School on an Elementary School Campus?? I t is hard for us to wrap our mind around the fact that a school board and the district superintendent would think that it would be a good idea to put a charter high school on a public elementary school district campus! Yet that is what has occurred at Silver Wing Elementary School in Southwest Chula Vista. What is even more befuddling is the fact that parents and the community of the public elementary school district were left out of the loop, there was very little public communication and little if any public input into the decision. What started out as the temporary placement of a few portable bungalows to house the Dual Emersion high school quickly turned into a permanent home! A two-story complex is set to be built on Silver Wing Elementary School property. The high school and the elementary school will be separated by a chain link fence! Compounding the issue is that Chula Vista Elementary School District is guaranteeing the loan which will be taken out by the private enterprise for the construction of the edifice. If the private enterprise defaults on the loan, the Chula Vista Elementary School District is on the hook for the balance due. When does an elementary school district become a business partner with a private enterprise? And to top it off the private enterprise that runs the charter school is not even going to pay rent for the use of public school land! This has turned out to be a one-way deal that totally favors the high school charter with no discernable benefit to the school district. As a business deal, it is a bad deal. The District will provide both the land and the money for the private enterprise with no income in return. As an educational benefit, again we see no direct correlation that benefits the District. The Silver Wing Elementary school children will not even be able to attend the new charter high school on their campus due to the rules and regulations pertaining to enrollment at the charter high school. Why this would occur we don’t know. That is the real problem with this whole deal: the parents and the community’s right to know was abducted by the Superintendent, Francisco Escobedo, and the previous school board. For parents of students who attend public schools, education is a very personal and vital matter to them. For a school to succeed in the education of the children it requires parent participation, openness, and communication. The openness and communication did not occur; the overall deal was done behind school board doors with very little, if any, transparency. It is reprehensible that a Superintendent and School Board would act in such a manner! The new school board, with three newly elected board members, found their hands tied to the deal. Backing away from approving the bid to build the campus could have resulted in a multi-million dollar lawsuit. The building of the campus will move forward. The parents of the Silver Wing community vow to continue the fight opposing the school. The best tool available to them will be with the next school board election where they can register their disgust at the polls. And the parents should hold the Superintendent accountable for his actions. One thing we know for sure this sort of action would have never taken place on the East side of Chula Vista, at Cameron School for example. But because it was a school in South West Chula Vista, District leaders felt it was okay to ignore the residents of the area – reprehensible! Petulancia, arrogancia…de Netanyahu Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D. P5+1, está en pleno proceso de un tratado que detendría a los iraníes adquirir armamento nuclear. Dicho tratado permitiría a Irán desarrollar plantas nucleares solo para uso doméstico y no para la creación de armamento bélico. A Irán, por su parte, se le levantaría el embargo económico y otras restricciones políticas, las cuales fueron precisamente castigos de la comunidad mundial por buscar este tipo de armamentos. Netanyahu no tiene una alternativa real o una opción que promueva el diálogo y colaboración. Según sus cálculos, el conflicto del Medio Oriente tiene sólo dos colores: blanco y negro. En la forma cómo se expresó en el Congreso, la única alternativa viable para resolver el conflicto es la guerra. Es decir, bombardear las plantas nucleares de Irán hasta que, como sucedió con Iraq, disminuya su arsenal y poder bélico-político en la región. Por obvias razones, un conflicto de tal alcance radicalizaría a todos los países islámicos del Medio Oriente, incluyendo a los aliados de Estados Unidos. En vez de afectar negativamente el poderío militar de Irán se estaría incrementando su influencia política en la región. Así, Netanyahu no sólo vino a insultar la racionalidad de la política internacional del gobierno de Obama, sino también a provocar la desunión de los norteamericanos. Por su parte, su ponencia en el Congreso hizo un daño profundo a su país, al crear un precedente de desconfianza con el gobierno norteamericano. Finalmente, John Boehner y los republicanos, quienes hicieron lo imposible para que Netanyahu pueda deliberar sus palabras en el Congreso, simplemente lapidaron las intenciones de sus candidatos de volver a la Casa Blanca en el 2016. La visita del primer ministro israelí Benjamín Netanyahu fue un acto de arrogancia, un insulto a la decencia del pueblo norteamericano. No en balde Nancy Pelosi, líder de la minoritaria de la Cámara Baja y jefe de los demócratas, resumió con dramatismo e impotencia el dolor que le causó presenciar la petulancia de Netanyahu. “…Apenas pude contener mis lágrimas a lo largo de la ponencia del Primer Ministro, entristecida por el insulto a la inteligencia de los Estados Unidos, que toma parte del grupo P5+1, entristecida porque desvaloró el conocimiento que tenemos sobre el peligro que produce Irán y [también entristecida] porque desconoce nuestra lealtad en contra de la proliferación nuclear”, dijo. Difícilmente se puede encontrar en la historia a un personaje que tuvo la osadía de criticar la política internacional del gobierno norteamericano en pleno Congreso. A la Administración Obama implícitamente lo tildó de inepto en la resolución del conflicto en el Medio Oriente, al condenar el tratado que busca junto con los otros países del P5+1. Netanyahu comparó al gobierno Iraní con el gobierno de facto del estado Islámico de SiriaIrak. Desde todo punto de vista, es una comparación exagerada y sin sentido. Su único objetivo fue lubricar los ánimos de los representantes republicanos, quienes, desde el principio hasta el final, lo ovacionaron con estruendosos aplausos. Evidentemente Irán no es un ángel, pero tampoco es un demonio. Lamentablemente para la comunidad mundial, Irán está a unos cuantos pasos de encontrar –tal vez ya la encontró— la llave del cerrojo que le separa de los países que tienen armamento nuclear y Humberto Caspa, Ph.D., es profesor e investigador de Economics On The Move. los que no. El gobierno de Obama, junto con los demás E-mail: [email protected] Latinos and the 2016 Presidential Chess Game By Angelo Falcón As a result of the Republican capture of both houses of Congress last year, there is a serious need for some creative strategizing by Latino political progressives. While for many the focus will be supporting a Hillary Clinton presidency and making her campaign responsive to the Latino community (including pushing for a Latino Vice President), the Latino political agenda for the next couple of years needs to be much more than this. With the Presidential campaign season comes a new political dynamic that the Latino community needs to exploit. It is very much a political chess game with Obama, the Democrats and the Republicans all using Latinos as pawns in their struggle for power. While in the last couple of years, Latinos have grown increasingly critical of President Obama, especially about his continual broken promises on immigration reform, pressure to get him to adopt executive actions to limit deportations was successful. NCLR’s Janet Murguia’s calling the President out as “deporter-in-chief” last year crystallized the pressure on Obama that moved the needle on this issue. The current legal challenge to the Presidents executive action on immigration, while raising concerns among immigration advocates, represents a major political victory for the President and the Democrats in fully polarizing the immigration issue in a way that guarantees Latino support of the Democrats in ways that could promote greater Latino voter participation in 2016. This Republican legal challenge is a move in a complicated political chess game that Obama has adroitly forced to his political advantage, literally using Latinos as political pawns. However, it would be unfortunate if Latino advocates settle on a strategy that merely defends the President’s immigration executive action. Once the legal challenge to it fails (which by every indication it will), Latinos should be ready to continue to pressure the President and Democrats to add to the categories of Latino and other undocumented immigrants that would be eligible to be authorized by the President. This should go hand in hand with a strategy to attack the Senate’s comprehensive immigration proposal, known as the “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act,” or S. 744, as too punitive toward immigrants. Rather than accepting this awful legislation as some sort of model to be supported after 2016, Latino leaders need to reject it and begin immediately to develop a more humane and comprehensive approach to immigration reform to promote during the Presidential election and after. The notion that the Republicans or the Democrats have to come up with a plan should now turn into Latinos pointing out that the have both lost their credibility to do so and it is now our turn. The possibility of being able to make Republicans more defensive on the immigration issue during the Presidential general election and pressure the Clinton and the Democratic Party to be even more supportive of a more progressive approach to immigration reform need to be an operating assumptions of Latino political strategizing. The 2016 Presidential campaign is also an opportunity for Latino political leaders to look to identify political priorities beyond immigration reform. If Republicans can be made more defensive on the immigration issue, they may be more open to being supportive of other matters of particular interest to the Latino community. This includes a revision of the Voting Rights Act that is reflective of the growth and new settlement patterns of Latinos, issues of economic equality, fair representation in the federal bureaucracy, greater affordable housing, extending federal benefits to immigrants and the territories, expanded workers’ rights, more federal attention to urban policy, limit the role of money in politics and so on. However, these must to be framed in ways that go beyond the Democratic Party’s “trickle-down progressivism” that it has practiced for far too long that keeps Latinos as political outsiders. It should be developed in ways that actually fully reach and engage our community. The Latino political leadership needs to create a community-based national policy agenda that includes but goes beyond immigration reform, and unifies the vast majority of Latinos and our advocates, forming coalitions with others to make them political viable. This Latino leadership needs to be more visible and accountable to their community, as opposed to operating as a shadow leadership that advises Democratic leaders and operatives in back rooms. In the process of doing so, Latino leaders need to expose the Right’s agenda fully and aggressively for our community for its lack of substance and harmful effects. At the same time, the Latino leadership needs to take more seriously take on the Democratic Party and its Presidential candidate’s campaign for continually taking the Latino community for granted. They should demand the party make a greater investment in promoting Latino candidates and party leaders, and by putting more resources into the field in Latino neighborhoods and progressive political organizations during the Presidential election and beyond. 2016 is almost here and so time is short for Latino leaders to begin strategizing for change. Not doing so will condemn Latinos to continue being second-class citizens, even for the majority who are US citizens. Latinos may be pawns in this 2016 Presidential chess game, but we need to be smart enough to not continue to be en prise.

(see Tezozomoc, page 7) LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO MARCH 6, 2015 PAGE 7 Commentary/Opinion Page Cuban Minnie Minoso called me Chico ¡ASK A MEXICAN! By Raoul Lowery Contreras Aguirre who later was a star pitcher with the Detroit Tigers. I played catch with a huge guy named Luke Easter the first Black player in the American League. But my favorite was Minnie Minoso. He taught me how to slide into second base. He led the majors in triples and stolen bases three times each, he was that good. Out of Mexico just six years, my Spanish was good and because his English wasn’t, the Cuban enjoyed having me around because when he needed help with a word, I helped him just like I helped my Grandmother who never learned English. He was so popular that one night in my neighborhood theater we were watching a movie about revolution in Cuba in which there was a scene of a Black Cuban carrying a machete and I cried “Minnie Minoso!” and the audience started clapping. We lost him in San Diego when the parent Cleveland Indians called him up to join Luke Easter. He played 17 seasons in the American League, 12 with the Chicago White Sox. He was the first Black on the Chicago White Sox. Minnie Minoso had a .298 lifetime batting average and career 186 homers and 1,023 RBIs. He also led the American League in triples and steals three times in each category. He made the American League All-Star team nine times. Another Cuban ball player, Chicago White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez says, “I think that everybody has to respect his legacy because he did so much for the Latin players, for the Cubans, for everybody because when he arrived here it was a tough time because of racism and discrimination. He wrote a huge legacy for all of us.” That’s well and good but I remember him best for running back towards the centerfield wall at Lane Field one Saturday afternoon in 1949, turning and realizing that the ball was hit too high and would be a home run, he threw his mitt into the air and knocked the ball down. The opposing manager came flying out of his dugout screaming that it was a fair home run; the crowd booed him, the umpires agreed with him, the crowd booed them. The next day at batting practice, Minnie threw his mitt up and laughingly asked me in Spanish if I enjoyed his play to stop the home run the day before. We laughed and I threw my glove up in the air. We laughed more. He died Sunday March 1st, he was 90 years old. Saturnino Orestes Armas Minoso Arrieta died a few days ago in Chicago. Baseball fans knew him as Minnie Minoso, the second Black player in Major League Baseball’s American League; the first Black Hispanic star. Before the majors he played center field on the Triple AAA San Diego Padres in San Diego, California. The team played in Lane Field, a wooden stadium with 10,000 seats on San Diego Bay. He called me “Chico.” I was the luckiest kid in San Diego in 1949. My mother married my step-father, a rookie San Diego police officer who was earning $150 a month as a police officer. He moonlighted as security at the “wrassling” and boxing matches at the downtown Coliseum, just a mile from my home at night and at daytime weekend baseball games of the Pacific Coast League San Diego Padres, the very team my cousin Ted Williams had played for before he went to Boston and I arrived from Mexico. I was a big fan of Gorgeous George and hated Mr. Moto of professional wrestling. I adored my neighbor Light Heavyweight Champion of the world, boxing’s premier knockout artist, Archie Moore, the Mongoose, who had 105 knockouts in his career and was the only man ever to knock Heavyweight Champ Rocky Marciano off his feet. It was my pleasure to go to the fights and to “wrassling” when my step-father worked them; it was free and delightful to yell and scream along with a couple thousand others. I got to meet all the wrestlers and boxers. I even met “Pappy” Boyington, the famous U.S. Marine pilot that shot down 26 Japanese planes in World War Two who was the first Medal of Honor winner I met. He was a referee. I knew it was a big deal because my Navy veteran step-father didn’t like Marines but he like Boyington who refereed “wrassling” matches. My high school Graphics Arts teacher who flew with Boyington’s famous “Black Sheep” Marine fighter squadron introduced “Pappy” to me. Much to his surprise, “Colonel Boyington” tousled my hair and said, “I remember you from the Coliseum.” Good memory ten years later. But my real pleasure came on Saturday and Sunday afternoons during baseball when my step-dad worked security for Padre Games. We entered the park through the ball player’s entrance; I got to go on the practice field and Contreras formerly wrote for Creators Synshag balls for the players. I met a skinny Mexi- dicate and the New American News Service can American pitcher named Enrique “Hank” of the New York Times Syndicate Learning to Be a Citizen By Lee H. Hamilton The question usually comes toward the end of a public meeting. Some knotty problem is being discussed, and someone in the audience will raise his or her hand and ask, “Okay, so what can I do about it?” I love that question. Not because I’ve ever answered it to my satisfaction, but because it bespeaks such a constructive outlook. The usual advice that politicians give is to vote, work for a candidate, let your elected officials know what you think, and participate in community life. This is good counsel — but only as far as it goes. With a little more time now to answer the question, I’d add a few other points. First, it’s important that citizens appreciate how hard it is to solve problems in a representative democracy. Every issue — even a stop sign at a corner — is more complex than it appears. Understanding and appreciating the complexities is the only way to see how and where you can make progress. It’s also vital to learn that solving problems means working with all kinds of people. It requires bringing different points of view together, developing connections to key players in your community, talking face-to-face with others who may not agree with you, and communicating your ideas effectively — including to the me- dia. It also means learning that differences can exist without personal animosity, and recognizing the common ground on which you can build agreement. There is a key lesson that comes from trying to solve a particular problem: it tends to make you less ideological and more pragmatic. It forces you to examine the options in front of you and to figure out what resources are at hand to help you pursue them. Politics is not a game for everyone, but there are other ways to be involved in community life. Regardless of the avenue they choose, it’s the people who step forward who refresh this country and make it stronger. Our Constitution’s preamble begins, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union....” At heart, that’s what getting involved means: shouldering the challenges, shared responsibilities, and opportunities that democracy thrusts upon us as we pursue a more perfect union. That’s what I want to say to the people who ask, “What can I do about it?” The journey is hard and complicated, but it’s the most satisfying work I can imagine. By Gustavo Arellano Dear Mexican: Recently, I visited a viejecita in an assisted living home. As I’m getting on in years myself, I wondered how I would fare in such a place. Fortunately I like to eat cottage cheese, but I would like some salsa with it, or better yet, an occasional jalapeño en escabeche. Are there places for those of us who like spicy Mexican food? Perhaps you have answered this question already in Taco USA, but I have been so busy lately that I have not yet cracked the cover of my copy. Sabor Para Mi Dear Flavor for Me: Time was when the Mexican could boast that we raza would never join cruel gabachos in exiling our aging parents to senior homes—that we let them live by themselves because mami y papi were tuf enough, or at the most housed them in their golden años in the casas of our youngest sibling because that’s what mija was born to do. But Mexicans tend to embrace the gabacho proclivity to abandon the familia the longer we’re in the U.S. “Growth Of Racial And Ethnic Minorities In US Nursing Homes Driven By Demographics And Possible Disparities In Options,” published in the July 2011 issue of Health Affairs, showed that the number of Latinos in nursing homes grew by 54.9 percent between 1999 and 2008, while the number of gabachos decreased by 10.2 percent. While the researchers blamed poverty and a lack of access to better medical options for the increased rates, maybe all those old gringos are moving out because they don’t want to spend their last days living with Mexicans? Anyhoo, the way those nursing home rates are going, Sabor Para Mi, I don’t think you have to worry about the lack Mexican food at your retirement home, but rather cottage cheese—what Mexican likes that cochinada? Why is it that when black families are shown in commercials on TV they are usually— scratch that—always portrayed living in nice neighborhood, living in nice houses and even though Subscribe to La Prensa Sa n Diego County, State and Nation!

The analysis examined 18 weeks of nine shows, which included the peak of the 2014 midterm election season and its outcome. News and entertainment media’s underrepresentation and persisting stereotypes of Latinos have fueled prejudices and misconceptions about the Latino community, according to 2012 NHMC-commissioned studies. Such bias has also resulted in a diminished trust of news outlets among Latino audiences. A 2014 study found that more than 65 percent of Latinos feel that news coverage inaccurately reports on Latino and African-American communities. In 2014, NHMC launched the Latino Experts Program to increase Latino presence and perspectives in local news coverage. Over a two-year span, NHMC assembled more than 100 Latino policy experts in the 12 largest U.S. cities to train them to speak on television and to connect them with local broadcast stations. “I look forward to working with the networks covered in this study to elevate Latino expert voices on their Sunday shows,” Nogales added.

Dear Wab: It’s one thing to be rightfully concerned about the horrible representation of Mexicans on television (a good antidote?

The Republican Party called—they want their token racist Mexican back. OBLIGE THEM… Latino Voices Missing in Sunday News Talk Shows, New Report Finds A report released Wednesday by Media Matters for America (MMFA) found that Latino voices are underrepresented in Sunday news talk shows. Despite making up 17 percent of the U.S. population, Latinos made up only seven percent of guests on English-language Sunday shows, the study found. The report also revealed the limited range of topics Latino guests are invited to discuss on the shows, with 46 percent speaking about immigration issues. “It is unacceptable for Sunday shows to continue excluding Latino experts from discussing all of the most important issues shaping our country,” stated Alex Nogales, president and CEO of the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC). “Media has a responsibility to serve and reflect our nation’s diversity, and it is long past time to get it right.” Nogales continued, “I applaud Media MatLee Hamilton is Director of the Center on ters for this important study that sheds light on Congress at Indiana University.

Not to mention the youngest member of the family usually talks like he just graduated from Harvard! Meanwhile, when a Mexican family is portrayed on television, the only thing that’s missing is the cockroaches crawling down the kitchen walls in the background? And why and where is the so-called Mexican American Defense League or some other kind of worthless raza representation arguing this point? Are they afraid their corporate media masters might call them out as INTOLERANT or HATERS or any other tag that might threaten their important JALES and big fat City Hall payChecks??? Growing up in Los Angeles, I was always taught that the raza was brave and strong and fighters when it came time to get down. But unfortunately, that seems to be nothing but a fairy tale because for the most part, all I’ve ever seen in my people is a bunch of meek, subservient pushovers. We seem to be more preoccupied these days about how “Black Lives Matter” than our own social political situation. Shame on Us (con’t from page 6) Reason why the Republican convention didn’t register with Chicano and Hispanos is because there weren’t any Chicanos or Hispanos in attendance… just highlights the problem the Republicans have with the Hispanic voter!!! Jeb Bush got into the Presidential race and Marco Rubio suddenly dropped from the national scene… you just don’t hear that much from him anymore. With Bush in the race Rubio couldn’t even carry Florida his home state where Bush served as governor… could this be end for Rubio’s Presidential aspirations???? I think so! PAGE 8 MARCH 6, 2015 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO New US Professional Soccer League Kicks Off Nuevo US Liga de Fútbol Profesional Comienza FUSA is the Nation’s First Hispanic/Latino Centric Professional Soccer League profesional de los EUA. “La barrera del lenguaje, los costos para registrarse, el modelo paga-por-jugar del fútbol juvenil en EU y que el reclutamiento de jugadores sea casi exclusivo de las universidades son los factores principales que han imposibilitado a muchos de los mejores jugadores hispanos y latinos de llegar a ser profesionales”. Así lo explica Miguel Perez, Director de Operaciones de Fútbol. “Mientras FUSA es una oportunidad sin precedentes para profesionalizar a jugadores amateurs latinos e hispanos y que se les pague por jugar el deporte que aman, FUSA también está abierta para jugadores de todas las razas, etnicidades y orígen sin importar que idioma prefieran hablar”. “FUSA será un recurso de la comunidad hispana y latina para inspirar el orgullo cultural, el cuál proveerá entrenimiento local y oportunidades”. De acuerdo con Miguel Perez, la oportunidad que brinda FUSA “se extiende a jugadores, entrenadores y asistentes, dueños de equipo y patrocinadores quienes busquen construir una relación FutbolUSA, Inc. announced today that it is launching a 32 team, two division, top-tier professional soccer league, with an inaugural season set to start in September of this year. FUSA will begin selling 16 Liga Primera (Division 1) and 16 Liga Nacional (Division 2) teams in 16 cities in Texas, California, and the Southwest. Over 700 players will be recruited at four regional combines/tryouts that will be held in June 2015. FUSA will not be recruiting players directly from colleges, universities, or other professional leagues. FUSA will instead recruit players from the ranks of the hundreds of thousands of predominantly Hispanic and Latino amateur players that crowd soccer fields across the US each weekend. According to FUSA, they recognize that a number of barriers have hindered the ability of top Hispanic and Latino amateur players to make it into the professional soccer pipeline in the US. “The language barrier, registration costs, the US youth soccer pay to play model, and professional recruitment almost exclusively from colleges are the main factors that keep some of the best Hispanic and Latino players from playing professional soccer,” said Miguel Perez, Director of Futbol Operations. “While FUSA is an unprecedented opportunity for amateur Hispanic and Latino players to turn pro and get paid to play the sport they love, FUSA is also open to players of all races, ethnicities, language preferences and national origin.” “FUSA will be a Hispanic and Latino community resource infused with cultural pride that provides homegrown entertainment and opportunity,” said Perez.
