San
Antonio
keeping
pace with
tech elites
By Kristian Jaime
[email protected]
Recent census data has confirmed what many local tech professionals already know—San
Antonio is booming and their industry is one of the reasons why.
The Alamo City joined New
York, Houston and Austin as
cities that have not only seen
a population boom, but also
a professional renaissance in
fields such as biotechnology,
information technology and cybersecurity.
With Texas boasting three of
the top five cities in the nation
with this unique distinction, it is
more than just about the jobs that
are coming to San Antonio; it is
the employers finding a ready and
willing workforce from which
to draw.
“When you look at the growth
in the tech industry in general,
the trends show we’re growing
almost fifty percent (in that time).
We’re going to be a player in the
tech industry, particularly in the
cybersecurity side of it,” said
Mario Hernandez, president of
the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation.
The moniker of “Military City
USA” was earned by becoming
the hub for military medicine at
Fort Sam Houston and advances
in cybersecurity via the partnership with the National Security
Administration (NSA).
While San Antonio can mark
this as “brain-gain,” or its ability
to retain millennials with college
level education, it is a bigger
feather in the cap of institutions
like the University of Texas at
San An Antonio (UTSA).
Their academic curriculum in
the area of cybersecurity and information technology has quickly
made it a resource in the fight
against cyber terrorism.
“When you start from a great
corporate base of state-of-the-art
practices and the military presence, you have real strengths,”
Hernandez continued. “Add to
that the educational component at
UTSA and over 100,000 college
students across Bexar County,
it’s a tremendous growth sector.”
For David Stich, Accenture
Federal Services director for the
San Antonio delivery center, the
name of the tech game is responsiveness. With many information
technologies jobs making the
move overseas in the recent history, employers are starting to
get homesick.
That has led to companies like
Accenture Federal Services to
cultivate a workforce closer to
home.
“Here in San Antonio, we’ve
been cultivating a group of technologists that meet those technology needs. We started last year
having these boot camps focused
on job growth in testing and quality assurance,” Stich said.
That precipitated partnerships
with local universities and the
Alamo Community College
District (ACCD) to design cur-

The San Antonio mayoral
race became a mess of ignored
handshakes and accusations
earlier this week, but the focus
has shifted back to the candidates
and issues in the the final days of
the runoff election.
After a disappointing 12 percent voter turnout in the first
race, former Sen. Leticia Van
de Putte and Interim Mayor Ivy
Taylor hope to win more support
before the polls close on June 13.
La Prensa spoke with both candi-
dates and their stances on public
safety, LGBT progress and why
voters should choose them as San
Antonio’s next Mayor.
Public safety
“San Antonio has just grown
so fast in the last few years.
Right now we have over $1.2
billion in deferred payments for
maintenance in our sidewalks
and drainage, and the city has not
kept up with basic infrastructure
needs,” Van de Putte said. “The
ones that are most important are
the ones that deal in health and
safety.”
The former Senator promised
that she would focus on improv-
ing the intersections throughout
the city, reporting loss of life.
Van de Putte promised to push
for at least 75 percent of the
2017 bond package to improve
the city’s safety.
“I encourage [voters] when we
begin that package process in the
fall to make their needs and their
priorities known.”
Mayor Taylor cited her SATomorrow initiative as the best way
to approach safety and health
improvements in the cities.
“What we hear most of the
time from folks is that they are
interested in street maintenance
and drainage projects, and want
to see a more comprehensive
sidewalk initiative,” Taylor said.
Taylor said planning was essential to designating the 2017
bond, which would provide the
city with $500 million, which
would be partially utilized to
improve and update city areas.
LGBTQ community
When asked about future initiatives to help protect San
Antonio’s LGBTQ community,
both candidates said they were in
favor of implementing recently
passed legislation to help protect individuals throughout the
San Antonio, starting with city
employees.
Gaining the lead
“I think San Antonio is looking for a strong leader, a strong
mayor and city council, so that
it runs efficiently, effectively
and is transparent,” Van de
Putte said.
Van de Putte promised that she
would bring back Uber and Lyft
services to San Antonio, and that
her time as Mayor would change
the status quo.
“That’s what I’ve done the
last 24 years in the legislature,
reaching across the aisle and
making decisions, I will do that

Inaugural Women in
Investment Management
Conference encourages
and inspires
By Natalie Bobadilla
[email protected]
More than 200 investment
professionals from across the
United States, Canada, United
Kingdom and Africa gathered in
the Alamo City earlier this week
to take part in CFA Institute’s
inaugural Women in Investment
Management Conference.
The two-day event focused on
the importance of diversity in
firms and encouraged career advancement as well as leadership
roles in women.
“Men and women think very
different, which is a good thing,”
Leah Bennett, CFA member and
co-chief investment officer at
South Texas Money Management, explained. “If you embrace
diversity either on management
teams, senior corporate boards or
in investment teams, your returns
end up being significantly better.”

LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO
Comentarios... La guerra interminable
No hay gue­
rra buena. Todas las guerras
hablan de nuestra estupidez y
de nuestra inJorge Ramos capacidad de
resolver los
problemas sin violencia. Pero la
guerra de Irak ha sido particularmente absurda porque se inició
por las razones equivocadas,
ha costado decenas de miles de
muertos –incluyendo a más de
4,400 soldados norteamericanos–
y dejó al país aún más inestable
y peligroso.
La guerra en Irak fue una invención del expresidente George W.
Bush. Aseguró, sin confirmarlo,
que el dictador Saddam Hussein
tenía armas de destrucción masiva
y en marzo del 2003 decidió atacar. Los inspectores de Naciones
Unidas no pudieron terminar su
trabajo antes de que empezaran
a caer las primeras bombas. Al
gobierno estadounidense y a sus
aliados, claramente, les urgía
comenzar esa guerra.
Saddam, por supuesto, era un
sanguinario dictador, pero en ese
momento no tenía armas de des­
trucción masiva ni tuvo nada que
ver con los actos terroristas que
mataron a casi 3,000 norteame­
ricanos el 11 de septiembre del
2001. Es imperdonable e indig-
nante que Bush haya comenzado
una guerra sin estar seguro de lo
que decía. Y jamás sabremos si
Bush, en realidad, siempre supo
que en Irak no había armas de
destrucción masiva, nos engañó
y atacó por otras oscuras razones.
Ese error lo arrastraremos por
décadas.
En esos días, el exsecretario de
Defensa, Donald Rumsfeld, dijo
en una entrevista con PBS que los
soldados estadounidenses serían
“bienvenidos” en Irak. No fue así.
A mí me tocó ver en la población
iraquí de Safwan, en la frontera
con Kuwait, cómo los civiles de
Irak vieron llegar los tanques de
Estados Unidos sin flores, sin
cantos y sin sonrisas.
Hoy Irak, lejos de ser una
democracia, es un país donde
existen varios grupos terroristas
–incluyendo al Qaeda y el Estado
Islámico de Irak y el Levante, o
ISIS– que amenazan a Estados
Unidos dentro y fuera de su terri­
torio. Esa guerra creó mil pequeños Osama bin Ladens.
Aún hay un pequeño grupo
de soldados norteamericanos en
Irak –cerca de 3,000 no en labores
de combate, apoyando al débil
gobierno en turno– pero la guerra
continúa. Si los yihadistas de ISIS
terminar por controlar Ramadi, su
siguiente objetivo será Bagdad, la
capital. Se ha perdido una buena
parte del territorio que tanto costó
ganar el principio del conflicto y,
ahora, nadie sabe cómo terminar
esta guerra.
El exgobernador Jeb Bush,
hermano de George W. Bush,
regresó esa guerra a las noticias
cuando dio varias respuestas
distintas sobre lo que él hubiera
hecho como presidente. Al final,
como todos los candidatos presidenciales, Jeb concluyó que no
hubiera invadido Irak como su
hermano.
Esto nos lleva a varias conclusiones. La primera es que no
podemos creerle a los presidentes
y muchos menos cuando se trata
de un asunto de vida o muerte.
Periodistas y políticos debimos
haber sido más firmes y duros al
exigir evidencias de lo que decía
el gobierno norteamericano antes
del primer disparo.
La otra conclusión es que Irak
sí debe ser un tema de campaña en
el 2016. Muchos de los candidatos, incluyendo a Hillary Clinton,
autorizaron en el Congreso o
apoyaron públicamente la injustificada invasión. Esa negligencia
no debe repetirse.
La tercera conclusión es que
muchos presidentes comienzan
guerras que impactan nuestras
vidas. Si no queremos en la Casa
Blanca a otro presidente belicoso,
hay que decirlo y salir a votar.
Una de las razones por las que me
convertí en ciudadano de Estados
Unidos en el 2008 fue para votar
en contra de cualquier candidato
que propusiera una guerra injustificada como la de Irak.
Irak es la guerra interminable.
A pesar de que Estados Unidos
oficialmente ya la dio por terminada, nos sigue atormentando y
sufriremos sus consecuencias por
muchas décadas más. Hay más de
32 mil veteranos que resultaron
heridos y desde Irak fácilmente
podría planearse el próximo
ataque terrorista contra Estados
Unidos.
Lo más absurdo de la guerra
en Irak es que si tú le preguntas a
soldados o a políticos de Estados
Unidos si esa guerra se ganó o se
perdió, nadie lo sabe. No existe
ningún consenso. Nadie sabe
con certeza cómo definir victoria en Irak. Eso pasa cuando se
inicia una guerra por las razones
equivocadas. Por eso, tenemos el
derecho de saber si el próximo
presidente o presidenta nos quiere
meter en otra guerra inútil.
Hay que preguntar antes de
votar.

Providing Hope for Alzheimer’s Patients and their Families
During Alzheimer’s
Awareness
Month, we
pay tribute and
reaffirm our
Lloyd Doggett commitment
to the fight
against Alzheimer’s. The impact
of the disease is borne not just
by the patient, but also by their
families, who face the difficult
task of finding and paying for the
right level of care or providing it
themselves. Late last year, Tino
Duran gave a brave face to this
fight and at his reception during
the holiday season, I saw a flood
of love and support for Tino and
his family, all who have been
touched by his generosity and
enduring spirit. The courage of
the entire Duran family and the
community of support serves
as a wonderful example for the
many suffering from this dreadful disease, similar to that shown
by famous country singer Glen
Campbell in his upcoming documentary about his own battle,
and by my former colleague in
Congress, Dennis Moore from
Kansas, who testified before a
Congressional Committee about
his experiences. All have done
their part to raise awareness and
funds to research for a cure.
June is Alzheimer’s & Brain
Awareness Month. I have seen
the devastation of this disease
firsthand and I have also visited
with families with loved ones
struggling with Alzheimer’s at
the Frank Garrett Multi-Service
Center in the heart of San Antonio’s Westside. I listened as
they came forward with concerns about the lack of medical
resources and research funding,
delays in diagnosis, and the need
for more support for caregivers.
Though an estimated one in nine
seniors has Alzheimer’s, about
half of them don’t know it. Nearly everyone has been touched in
some way by Alzheimer’s, and
my family felt the toll that this
unforgiving disease takes when
my wife’s father suffered with
it. That’s why, as a member
of the Alzheimer’s Caucus, I
have added my support again
this Congress to the HOPE for
Alzheimer’s Hope Act. This bill
would provide Medicare coverage for a package of services,
including clinical diagnosis of
Alzheimer’s disease and care
planning to provide newlydiagnosed individuals and their
caregivers’ information about
treatment and support.
It is simple. We need more
funding for research to win the
fight against Alzheimer’s. Even
though Alzheimer’s is the most
expensive disease in the U.S.,
costing more than cancer and
heart disease, it receives only
about one-tenth of the funding
spent on cancer and about onefourth of the funding spent on
cardiovascular disease research.
Women in their 60s are about
twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s over the rest of their
lives as they are to develop
breast cancer. For every $26,500
that Medicare and Medicaid are
spending for caring for people
with Alzheimer’s, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) spend
just $100 on Alzheimer’s research. This is unacceptable
and I will continue working to
secure more funding for the fight
against Alzheimer’s. In 2014,
Medicare and Medicaid spent
approximately $150 billion on
Alzheimer’s care alone. This
cost accounted for 20 percent of
the overall Medicare spending
in 2014. That is why I urged
the President and requested
increased funding for the National Institutes of Health to
continue their Brain Research
through Advancing Innovative
Neurotechnologies Initiative—
a program aimed at advancing
our understanding and treatments of different neurological
diseases, like Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s.
Over the past decade, the federal government’s contributions
to NIH funding have failed to
keep up with the rate of inflation.
Irresponsible budget cuts enacted during sequestration only
compounded the problem. We
can do better. I am committed
to promoting quality healthcare
and investing in research so that
families like Tino’s will not have
to suffer in the future. Together,
we can bring greater hope of
conquering Alzheimer’s.
Just a Thought: It’s Graduation time
Well it is
that time of
the year for
high school
and university students in
San Antonio
to get ready
Steve Walker to walk the
stage for
graduation ceremonies. Today,
for example, Jefferson and
Lanier High Schools are hosting
their ceremonies back-to-back
at the Alamodome. Northside
ISD will host five high school
graduations Monday through
Friday this coming week.
Students from all over the
metro area are gearing up for
the parties- celebrations of
long anticipated completions
of at least a four year marathon
of classes that culminates in a
degree or diploma.
Many graduating high school
students who can’t afford the
sticker value of a college education are frantically looking for
scholarships and other avenues
to pay for their degrees. Many
parents are doing their best to
help their kids achieve that goal
with financial help by working
two jobs and taking out loans.
For many families in San Antonio, this will be the first generation to obtain a college degree.
The journey actually begins
when a student graduates from
middle school. This puts them
on the path to achieve a higher
education and sets the tone for
what they may choose for their
lifelong career.
As high school prepares them
with basic life skills to allow
them to compete in the workforce, it all comes to fruition
their senior year when they
begin the journey of choosing
whether to go to college or
not and which college or tech
school to attend to complete
their career choices.
For many, the hardship of
the financial burden is often so
overwhelming to the point of
discouragement that they either
give up or indefinitely postpone
their dreams of a better life and
financial security.
The students of Bexar County
live in a somewhat more positive environment than most.
Our community values edu-
cation and therefore works
diligently to assist families in
being able to send their children forward in their pursuit of
higher education. As a former
teacher at Fox Tech, Memorial
and McCollum high schools, I
know that to be true.
This support comes in the
form of scholarships and financial assistance from the many
individuals and organizations
and foundations within Bexar
County. These groups work
year round raising funds to be
able to award deserving students the opportunity to make
a better life for themselves and
their families. It also encourages those students who succeed
in obtaining their educational
goals to return to their community and become productive
citizens who pay it forward.
One of the many educational
organizations whose sole purpose is to ensure that local
students are given the chance
to receive a scholarship to pursue their education is the La
Prensa Education Foundation
spearheaded by Millie Duran.
Millie, wife of La Prensa
Publisher Tino Duran, has
successfully raised well over
two and a half million dollars
in scholarship money over the
years.
I was privileged to cover this
year’s fundraiser gala once
again, as I have done numerous
times in the past.
As an active member of the
San Antonio Association of
Hispanic Journalists (SAAHJ),
I have also been involved in a
number of fundraising events
for aspiring young journalists.
In fact in July, we will host our
annual SAAHJ Gala Ceremony
that will award scholarships to
worthy students, many from the
Hispanic community.
There are many other organizations, foundations and individuals who feel strongly about
ensuring that the educational
future will be bright for not
only students, but for the entire
community. This is a win-win
for everyone in Bexar County.
As always, what I write is
“Just a Thought.”
Steve Walker is a Vietnam
Veteran, former journalist and
Justice of the Peace.

perfecta para salir a afuera y ser
activo en un medio ambiente
muy hermoso”, añadió Ramos.
La idea para las modificaciones del parque nació del representante estatal Diego Bernal,
quien anteriormente sirvió como
concejal del Distrito1.
“Quería asegurarme que el
parque continuara siendo un
espacio social utilizado de una
manera con propósito”, expresó
Bernal. “Este es el proyecto en
el cual mantuve mi ojo todo el
tiempo y es muy gratificante
verlo comenzar”.
Por su parte, el concejal Trevi­
ño añadió que era importante
para continuar con el proyecto
porque él personalmente tiene
un gran interés por la historia de
San Antonio.
“Espero que la gente venga
a hacer ejercicio, pero también simplemente a disfrutar
este parque histórico”, añadió
Treviño.
Según historiadores, personas
se han reunido en lo que ahora
es conocido como San Pedro
Spring Park por más de 12,000
años. Cazadores y recolectores
encontraban agua, comida y piedras para usar como armas. Los
exploradores españoles fueron
los primeros en establecerse a
finales del siglo 17. En 1709,
los Padres Antonio de San Buenaventura de Olivares e Isidro
Felix de Espinosa fueron los
primeros en dotar el parque como
San Pedro Springs.
Hoy en día, el parque cuenta
con una alberca, una glorieta, un
parque infantil, un centro para
jugar tenis, un centro de softball,
una biblioteca y un teatro.
El proyecto será finalizado
para diciembre del 2015, y es dirigido por Transportación y Mejoría Capital del Departamento
de Parques y Recreación de San
Antonio. El diseño fue creado
por Beaty Palmer Architects
y será construido por Allbrite
Constructors of Texas.

approach to leading the city to
decide the next leader of San
A 2014 study from Credit
Suisse found that since 2005,
companies with at least one
female director have returned a
compound annual return of 3.7
percent above their male-only
counterparts.
Similarly, the same report
indicates “companies with more
than 15 percent of women in top
management carry a 2013 ROE
(return on equity) of 14.7 percent
compared to 9.7 percent for those
where women represent less than
10 percent of the top management.”
Bennett explained that women
tend to look at risks differently
and the more perspectives an
investment firm has, the more
successful it tends to be.
“What motivates companies
to embrace diversity is seeing
what the impact is on the bottom
line,” she added. “I think the more
research and the more conversations we can have like this, the
more it’s going to enable change
at the industry level.”
Now that the statistics are
there and concrete, the goal is to
get more women involved in the

“I think the police and fire
negotiations are at the top of
mind for most voters,” Taylor
stated. “I think all they can do is
find an analysis of the leadership
differences between myself and
my opponent.”

investment industry and in leadership positions.
Fortunately, Carla Harris, managing director and vice chairman
of global wealth management at
Morgan Stanley, was on hand to
share her strategies for thriving in
the workplace.
The most important lesson, she
said, is that perception is the copilot to reality.
“How people perceive you
will directly impact how they
deal with you,” Harris explained.
“The reality of how smart you
work and how hard you work has
something to do with the success
equation, but a very big component of your success equation is
the perception that the market
place has about you.”
She encouraged attendees to
think of three adjectives that are
consistent with whom they are
and three adjectives valued by
their organizations.
“Where they intersect is how
you must behave consistently,”
she explained. “If you want to
train people to think about you in
a certain way, it is simply consistent behavior. Have consistent be-
havior around those three adjectives. Use this language in your
environment, particularly when
you are talking about yourself.”
Harris also encouraged women
to be fearless, authentic, to be
intentional about relationships
and to under promise and over
deliver.
“Success does not just happen,” she added. “There is only
one person responsible for you
career and that is you.”
Reevaluating the conference,
the attendance, the sponsorship,
and the involvement, Bennett
said it was all far ahead of CFA’s
expectations and they certainly
plan to host a second annual
Women in Investment Management Conference.
CFA Institute is the largest
global association of investment
professionals with more than
115,000 members working to
shape an investment industry
where investors’ interests come
first, financial markets function
at their best, and economies grow.

San Antonio has seen 295 new
positions filled since September
of last fiscal year, indicating fifty
percent growth. Furthermore, it is
growth companies like Accenture
Federal Services are banking
upon.
“I think it was the military
presence that drove the biotechnology and cybersecurity
sectors. We saw it as an opportunity to expand beyond cyber
security into Java and Amazon
Web Services for instance,” Stich
continued.
As Austin and Houston are
poised to see even more exponential growth in their job markets,

Perry throws hat in presidential ring ¿Quién puede más contra Hillary?
By Kristian Jaime
[email protected]
Surrounded by fellow Texans,
former Governor Rick Perry
did what everyone expected he
would—announce his candidacy
for the White House in 2016.
With a speech taking aim at the
Obama administration, Perry put
his failed 2012 bid for the presidency behind him with his latest
announcement in Addison, Texas.
“I know that America has experienced great change. But what
it means to be an American has
never changed. We are the only
nation in the world founded on
the power of an idea,” said Perry.
While evoking memories of his
youth in front of a cheering public, the speculation surrounding
months of trips to battleground
states like New Hampshire were
crystallized as 65 year-old Perry
extolled conservative tenets.
“Our rights come from God,
not from government. Our people
are not subjects of the government, but instead, our government is subject to the people. It
has always been the case that
there has been a social compact
between one generation and the
next,” Perry continued.
Railing against policies he
deemed divisive to the American spirit, he painted President
Obama as a “divider” separating
the modern electorate.
While the former Governor
boasted about his experience
running a Texas economy that is
among the largest in country, his
recent unveiling of a campaign
website also boasts a hard line
on hot-button issues such as
immigration, veterans affairs,
education and gun control.
While some have argued that
his bid for the White House has
already been in full steam for
some time, the recent formal
announcement comes when the
Republican field now includes a
gaggle of candidates all vying for
the title of the “real” conservative
choice.
“Six years into this so-called
recovery, and our economy is
barely growing, our economic
slowdown is not inevitable. It
just happens to be the direct result
of bad economic policy,” Perry
argued.
Citing the Obama administration as “an era of failed leadership,” Perry also noted the lapses
in international affairs including
the rise of the Islamic State (IS)
and investigations into the White
House dealings in Benghazi.
With campaign stops already
slated and the Republican primary election already underway,
it is difficult to see if two times is
the charm for Perry.

White House recently in Addison,

During his 2012 Presidential campaign, the conservative
stalwart did well in Republican
strongholds but waivered in
undecided and liberal states.
Such results, along with notable
stumbles in debates essentially
doomed Perry.
“The reason I’m running for
president is because I know our
country’s best days are ahead.
There is nothing wrong in America today that a change of leadership will not make happen,”
vowed Perry.
As the field of Republican
challengers grows, so will the
conservative rhetoric and stump
speeches. As it shrinks back
down to the last man standing,
Perry hopes that it is not history
repeating.
A un año y unos cuantos meses
de cara a los comicios electorales
presidenciales, los ánimos ya están
caldeados. Sabemos que Hillary
Rodham Clinton es la segura candidata de los demócratas, pero los
republicanos todavía viven la mise­
rable incertidumbre de no saber
quién será su “gallo”: Jeb Bush,
Rand Paul, Marco Rubio o Scott
Walker.
¿Cuál de los cuatro candidatos
tiene más posibilidades de ganar a
Hillary R. Clinton en noviembre
2016?
De acuerdo a las recientes encuestas de ABC-Washington Post
ninguno de los cuatro candidatos
republicanos tiene más de 11% de
aprobación, mientras que Hillary
R. Clinton recibe 41%, 11 puntos
menos que las encuestas realizadas
el año pasado.
El gobernador de Wisconsin Scott
Walker es el gran favorito de los republicanos cristianos porque apoya
las políticas antiaborto al 100%,
incluyendo en casos de incesto y de
violación. Si estuviera en la Casa
Blanca implementaría un plan de
educación sexual en las escuelas
públicas en base a la abstinencia. No
está de acuerdo a programas de gobierno que proporcionan cualquier
tipo de droga anticonceptiva.
Si Walker embiste a sus oponen-
tes en las primarias, su futuro en las
elecciones presidenciales sería muy
similar a una batalla ecuestre entre
un caballo de carrera y un caballo de
carga en el hipódromo de Belmont
Stakes de New York. La victoria de
Hillary R. Clinton sería inobjetable.
Por otra parte, Rand Paul es un
candidato más visionario y más
realista que Walker; es muy popular
con la base conservadora-económica de su partido, particularmente
con el Tea Party. No es el favorito
de los conservadores sociales pero
tampoco lo detestan.
Paul es uno de los candidatos con
gran posibilidad de ser el ganador en
la contienda primaria republicana
que empezará en febrero del próximo año. Si finalmente se cumple su
deseo de ser elegido por su partido,
sus posibilidades contra Hillary R.
Clinton, aunque son mejores que
Walker, también son magras.
Finalmente se apuestan Bush y
Rubio. Entre los dos, el que más
opciones de triunfo en las elecciones
primarias es el exgobernador de
Miami. La base política de Bush es
consistente con sus ideales políticos;
lo apoyan tanto moderados como
también republicanos sociales de su
partido. Los conservadores latinos
de ascendencia mexicana –que son
millones— ven con buenos ojos
el hecho de que habla español y
especialmente está casado con una
oriunda de su país.
Sus posibilidades con Hillary R.
Clinton dependen específicamente
con su apellido.
Uno de los Bush (su padre) fue
un presidente íntegro ideológicamente, pero con serios problemas
en la economía política. Su hermano
George, el otro Bush, de acuerdo a
mi punto de vista, fue el peor presidente de la historia norteamericana.
Su gobierno sumió al país en una
crisis económica que repercutió al
mundo. Y en el plano internacional, quebrantó la confianza de sus
aliados e incrementó el rencor sus
enemigos.
Lamentablemente para Jeb
Bush, el peso de tener dos parientes ine­p­tos, especialmente uno de
ellos, eventualmente repercutirá en
la mente del electorado nacional
en el momento que elijan entre él
y Hillary.
Finalmente tenemos a Marco
Rubio. Joven senador, carismático,
relativamente moderado y de ascendencia cubana. No creo que gane
las elecciones primarias, pero sería
un verdadero reto para Hillary R.
Clinton batallar mano-a-mano por
el derecho a la Casa Blanca.
De los cuatro candidatos que
tienen mejor aceptación, Rubio
sería el que más dolores de cabeza
le causaría a Hillary R. Clinton. Sin
embargo, la exsecretaria de Estado y
exsenadora ya sabe cómo enfrentar
a una persona con las características
de Rubio. No creo que le gustaría
perder nuevamente.
Jeb Bush anunciará el 15 de junio su candidatura a la Casa Blanca
EFE - El exgobernador de Florida Jeb Bush anunciará formalmente
su candidatura a las primarias republicanas el próximo 15 de junio
en un acto público en Miami (EE.
UU.), tras varios meses de incertidumbre en torno a sus aspiraciones
presidenciales.
Bush, que en diciembre había
avanzado su intención de explorar
la candidatura, publicó en Twitter que el 15 de junio en Miami
realizará un “gran anuncio”, y convocó en inglés y en español a sus
seguidores con una fotografía y un
enlace a su nueva página electoral.
El anuncio de Jeb Bush, todavía no oficial, coincidió con
el de la candidatura formal del
exgobernador de Texas Rick Perry,
sumándose a una larga lista que previsiblemente rondará la quincena
de candidatos.
Los últimos sondeos realizados
por medios estadounidenses y
centros académicos arrojan una
gran igualdad entre los candidatos
republicanos, entre los cuales destacan el propio Jeb Bush, el senador
Marco Rubio, el exgobernador
de Arkansas Mick Huckabee y el
gobernador de Wisconsin, Scott
Walker, quien se espera que presente su candidatura también muy
pronto.
Bush, de 62 años y cuyo mandato
en Florida estuvo marcado por sus
políticas a favor de la educación,
eligió el Miami Dade College para
realizar su anuncio formal.
Se trata de una de las mayores
universidades de Estados Unidos,
con 160,000 alumnos y también un
centro caracterizado por la diversidad de estudiantes, con un gran
porcentaje de universitarios latinos.
En la formación conservadora
se vigila con atención la apuesta
de Bush por regularizar de una
vez por todas la situación de unos
11 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados en el país, la gran
mayoría hispanos.
Se prevé que el disputado voto
latino, decisivo en la victoria de
Barack Obama en las elecciones
presidenciales de 2008 y 2012 en
EE.UU., volverá a ser crucial en
2016.
Bush parte en la contienda con la
ventaja de dominar perfectamente
el español y tener una esposa mexicana, Columba Garnica, dos activos
que le dan un gran ascendente sobre
la comunidad hispana.
En los últimos seis meses, Bush
se ha volcado en reunir fondos
para su Comité de Acción Política
“Right to Rise”, dilatando el momento de desvelar su decisión,
lo que le había generado fuertes
críticas.
Una vez que Bush anuncie oficialmente su salto a las primarias republicanas, se cierra la posibilidad
de captar fondos de ningún grupo
exterior, pero sí podrá recaudar
donaciones personales con un
límite de 2,700 dólares.
La próxima semana Bush viajará
a varios países europeos y, tras el
anuncio de su candidatura, reemprenderá sus visitas a diferentes
estados de Estados Unidos para
apuntalarse a las primarias.
En Florida las primarias se cele­
brarán en marzo de 2016 después
de que hayan votado una veintena
de estados, por lo que podrían tener
un valor decisivo al adjudicarse
al vencedor los 99 delegados que
estarán en liza en el estado.
Bush llegará también a las primarias bajo la sombra de recientes
polémicas relacionadas con su hermano, el expresidente George W.
Bush (2001-2009), especialmente
a causa de la guerra en Irak, cuya
legitimidad ha sido puesta en tela
de juicio.
En una reciente entrevista con
el canal de televisión conservador
Fox News, Jeb Bush afirmó que
hubiera seguido los mismos pasos
de su hermano George y hubiera invadido Irak, aunque posteriormente
se desdijo y aseguró que todo fue
un malentendido.

Es importante conocer los síntomas de la diabetes
Por José I. Franco
[email protected]
En verdad que es de gran importancia tener conocimiento
sobre la importancia de educarnos
mediante literatura que ofrece información sobre los síntomas de la
diabetes, enfermedad que está bajo
control de la ciencia médica, pero
que afecta a millones de personas
sin distinción de raza.
Se dice que entre la comunidad
hispana existe un alto promedio
de personas que la padecen, ya
sea por herencia o porque no se
han cuidado en su alimentación
cotidiana.
Para mí no es nuevo entender
los efectos que le causan a una
persona diabética, ya que en los
80’s tuve varias experiencias con
personas afectadas por diabetes.
En ocasiones me tocó ver personas desvanecerse y ser reanimadas
comiendo algo dulce. También
me enteré de quienes en plena
autopista sufrieron accidentes tras
un ataque diabético.
Recientemente me encontraba
en un evento dando testimonio
sobre mi estado de sobriedad, ya
que tengo 15 años libre de alcohol
en mi sistema. Ahí, una persona
me abordó diciéndome que si
traía conmigo un dulce, porque
estaba a punto de sufrir un ataque
diabético, de inmediato de mi
bolsillo saqué un par de dulces
(de los que obsequian en la cadena
de restaurantes Jason’s Deli) se
los di y él con suma rapidez los
comenzó a “masticar”. A los pocos segundos el hombre retomó
compostura y pude continuar con
mi presentación.
Entonces dije a la audiencia:
“Ya vieron el efecto que un dulce
puede hacer”. Claro no es la
primera vez que ayudó a una
persona diabética, en ocasiones
me ha tocado darles información
para que visiten clínicas públicas
que prestan servicios de gran
calidad médica y humanitaria,
entre ellas el Texas Diabetes
Institute, ubicado en el sector
oeste 201 South Zarzamora, que
es dependiente del sistema de
salud universitario (University of
Texas Health System), donde se
brinda atención médica, así como
prevención para la diabetes, educación y tratamientos de la misma
enfermedad, e investigación para
encontrar la cura.
Así como este nosocomio especializado en brindar atención
médica a un gran número de
pacientes que padecen de los
malignos síntomas de la diabetes,
desde 1897 existe una compañía
con la razón social BD (Becton,
Dickinson and Company) con
sede en Franklin Lakes, Nueva
Jersey, dedicada a la manufactura
y venta de aparatos e instrumentos
médicos, que –entre su clientela–
tiene a instituciones médicas,
agencias de investigación científica, laboratorios clínicos, industrias farmacéuticas y el público
en general al que ofrece acciones
en la bolsa de valores New York
Stock Exchange (NYES).
BD emplea a una fuerza labo­
ral de 30 mil trabajadores en 50
países.
De acuerdo a boletín informativo, BD ofrece valiosa información
que detecta los síntomas de la
diabetes. Por ser de importancia,
aquí se transcriben algunos datos
de suma importancia, los cuales
se pueden seguir como punto
educativo.
Los cuatro síntomas que son
más comunes en la diabetes son:
Aumento de la sed. Orinar con
frecuencia. Tener mucha hambre. Pérdida de peso sin motivo
aparente.
A continuación se explica el
porqué de estos síntomas.
“Cada una de las células del
cuerpo necesita energía para poder
sobrevivir. Las personas obtienen
la energía convirtiendo los alimentos que come en grasas y azúcares
(glucosa). Esta glucosa viaja por
el torrente sanguíneo como un
componente normal de la sangre.
Las células de la sangre toman
entonces una pequeña cantidad de
glucosa de la sangre para utilizarla
como energía. La sustancia que
permite que la célula tome la glucosa de la sangre es una proteína
llamada insulina. La insulina es
producida por las células beta que
se encuentran en el páncreas. El
páncreas es un órgano que se localiza cerca del estómago. Cuando
la glucosa en sangre incrementa,
las células beta secretan insulina al
torrente sanguíneo y la distribuyen
e todas las células del cuerpo.
La insulina se adhiere a las proteínas de la superficie de la célula
y permite que el azúcar que pase
de la sangre a la célula, en donde
es convertida en energía.
Una persona con diabetes tipo
2 o diabetes gestacional no puede
producir una cantidad suficiente
de insulina o la que produce no
es “sensible”, lo que significa que
el cuerpo no puede utilizarla de
manera adecuada. Una persona
con diabetes tipo 2 produce nada
o muy poca insulina.
Sin la insulina necesaria, las células del cuerpo no pueden utilizar
la glucosa que está en la sangre y
empiezan a tener hambre mientras que la glucosa se va acumulando en el torrente sanguíneo. En
respues­ta de esta falta de energía
en las células, el cerebro manda
señales que le dicen al cuerpo
que coma más. Mientras tanto,
otras células del cuerpo intentan
obtener energía rompiendo las
células grasas y músculo.
El hígado puede convertir las
proteínas del músculo en glucosa.
Entonces un ciclo vicioso inicia:
Se crea más glucosa pero no se
puede transformar en energía
debido a que no hay suficiente
cantidad de insulina para llevar la
glucosa del torrente sanguíneo a
las células del cuerpo.
Cuando hay mucha glucosa en
la sangre, el cuerpo se trata de
deshacer de ella por medio de la
orina. La orina de las personas
sanas no contiene azúcar. En las
personas con diabetes el exceso
de la glucosa absorbe el agua así
como lo haría una esponja. La
persona produce cantidades excesivas de orina debido a toda esta
agua. Toda esta orina hace que le
persona sienta sed, por lo que toma
agua de forma excesiva.
Todo lo anterior se debe a una
falta de insulina que provoca que
las personas con diabetes desarro­
llan los síntomas clásicos de la
diabetes: Pierden peso pero tienen
mucho apetito, toman agua en
exceso y van al baño a orinar
constantemente”.
Como se puede apreciar, dicha
información es valiosa, para así
estar al tanto sobre los síntomas
que produce la diabetes.
Por lo pronto hay que comenzar
a comer saludable, realizar ejercicios, no dejar que la “pancita”
vaya en aumento.
Uno no se puede privar de
comer de todo, siempre y cuando
sean en porciones medianas, tanto
en comidas como en bebidas.
Hasta la próxima D.M.

is designed for children who have
experienced relationship-based
traumas such as abuse, maltreatment, or neglect. Through the
use of the interventions, parents,
caregivers, and teachers are better able to understand where the
children from “hard places” are
coming from and intervene appropriately.
TBRI® begins with helping caregivers understand what
trauma does to the brain and how
children are in a chronic state
of “stress” that damages their
ability to self-regulate and calm
themselves down when they are
upset. When something does not
go their way or is unexpected,
these children are biologically
unable to problem solve or calm
down and instead are hardwired
to react as if they are in survival
mode. This is often displayed as
verbal and physical aggression.
TBRI® explains to foster parents
and staff that there is hope in
healing these issues with proper
intervention and care giving.
By utilizing Connection Principles that include healthy touch,
playful engagement, and attunement, foster parents and staff
can begin the road to healing
and helping children learn what
a positive, safe, and healthy
attachment can feel like. In addition, foster parents and staff
learn about their own attachment
styles and parenting styles and
how they can impact the children
directly. Foster parents and staff
also learn how all children who
have experienced trauma have
sensory needs and what techniques can be used to help the
children learn to self-regulate or
calm themselves down when they
are in an anxious situation.
Since the implementation
18 months ago, our foster parents and staff have felt better
equipped to handle the issues
that our children experience on
a daily basis. From new foster
parents and staff to those who
have been caring for traumatized
children for more than five years,
all have stated that the training
has helped them tremendously
in the work they do. As a result,
those caregivers have improved
services and have helped create
stronger attachments for our
children. TBRI® has given our
children from “hard places”
hope for continued healing and
a chance for success in their
futures. For more information

Challenging/Unpredictable Behaviors
By Meg Barron
People with Alzheimer’s
disease can act in different and
unpredictable ways. Whatever
those behaviors, try to identify
the cause, a possible solution,
and try not to take it personally.
Bold behavior
• The person may forget that
he/she is married and begin
to flirt or make inappropriate
advances toward others.
• If the person is engaging in
overt behavior, try to redirect
him or her.
• Avoid laughing or getting
angry at the person.
Inappropriate undressing
• Person may take his/her
clothes off at inappropriate
times and in unusual settings.
• A person may start to remove clothing simply because
it is too tight or uncomfortable.
- Check clothing to see if you
can make adjustments to the fit
(e.g., adjustments to buttons,
zippers and straps).
• If person has removed a
blouse or shirt, calmly put a
coat or sweater over his or her
shoulders.
• Consider providing clothing
that is difficult for the person to
remove without assistance.
Shoplifting
• Person may not understand
or remember that merchandise
must be paid for.
• He/she may casually walk
out of the store without paying,
unaware of any wrongdoing.
• Have person carry a walletsize card that states that he/she
is memory-impaired.
• This may prevent person
from feeling embarrassed when
store security confronts him
or her.
• If you are with person, take
security personnel aside and
explain that the he or she has
dementia.
Paranoia
• The person may become
easily confused, leading to
jealousy and suspicion; e.g., a
man may think that his wife has
a boyfriend if he sees her with
their son.
• A person may also misinterpret an unfamiliar face as
someone who is a thief.
• If person makes accusations or becomes extremely
suspicious, don’t attempt to
convince the person that he or
she is wrong.
• Apologize for upsetting the
person if appropriate.
• Provide reassurance with
words or touch if that typically
helps.
• Try to distract person with
another activity.
Caregiver intervention
1. Detect and connect
• Try to join the person’s reality rather than trying to get the
person to join yours.
• Keep respect for the person
as an adult in mind.
• Let the person know that
you understand that he or she is
upset and that you want to help.
• Attempt to discover what
may be triggering behavior by
exploring who was involved
when the behavior began, what
took place and where, when the
behavior started, and how the
event played out
2. Address physical needs
first
• Explore whether the person
is experiencing pain, and make
attempts to resolve it safely.
• Check with the person’s
doctor to determine whether
medication or physical conditions may be causing the behavior, especially if it occurred
suddenly.
• Make any needed changes
to the person’s environment
to help him or her feel more
comfortable.
3. Then address emotional
needs
• The behavior may be an
expression of emotional need,
including feeling lonely, bored,
or over- or under-stimulated.
• Approach the person gently
and provide reassurance.
• Redirect the person as needed.
4. Reassess and plan for the
next time
• If the behavior took place
once, it may well occur again.
• Plan for escalation of the
behavior in the future, and make
plans to get additional support
and resources as needed.
• Remember that you cannot
eliminate all challenging behaviors, but continue building
your resources and attempting
new interventions.
• Get support for yourself as
a caregiver.

World rolls up their sleeves
for Blood Donor Day

impact to the donor and makes
them want to come back again.
So we have a large pool of willing donors, but we only draw
so much from them,” Davila
continued.
As World Blood Donor Day
approaches, the compendium of
services offered by BioBridge
includes: blood resource management, cellular therapy, donated
umbilical cord blood and human
tissue as well as testing of blood,
plasma and tissue products for
clients in the United States and
worldwide.
Many people believe that a
blood transfusion is a planned
procedure, but rarely is that the
case. This mindset is something
the STBTC is working to change.
“The trend right now is needing that universal blood donation,
which is type O negative. This is
a call to action with that blood
type to come in and constantly
give. We want to increase that
pool of people we call with that
blood type as well,” Davila explained.
For Krystal Sanchez, even being an avid donor did not prepare
her for the day she would become
a recipient.
Following an emergency cesarean section, Sanchez suffered
from severe blood loss and joined
countless others who were part of
the 21 million transfusions that
take place annually.
“I never thought I would become a patient who would need a
blood transfusion. It was a blessing, since I got to see first-hand
how important it is to donate. You
never know when you or someone you know will need blood,”
Sanchez said.
The World Health Organization (WHO) sponsored day serves
also as a token of gratitude for
those who do donate regularly.
Sanchez and those like her
know all too well that a donation
is more than a good deed, but a
chance at life itself.
On June 14, San Antonio joins
the world in rolling up their
sleeves for a good cause—World
Blood Donor Day.
With San Antonio as the seventh most populous city in the
United States, the demand for
blood, plasma and platelet donations is only growing exponentially.
With the summer months
marking one of the busiest times
for the South Texas Blood and
Tissue Center (STBTC), World
Blood Donor Day is as much a
call to action as it is a celebration
of giving.
“There is a constant need
for blood donations throughout
South Texas,” said Carmen Davila, vice president of Corporate
Communications for BioBridge
Global. “We cover 43 counties,
so it’s a daily, constant managing
of resources of where blood units
are going and working with hospitals to identify what they need.”
Through its seven donation
locations and its mobile units that
cross the city, keeping up with
the demand of the 67 hospitals
they serve is still a challenge.
With fewer individuals who donate, comes even more strain on
resources.
The STBTC, a non-profit organization that is a subsidiary
of BioBridge Global along with
QualTex Laboratories and GenCure, not only works with hospitals, but also with San Antonio
Metropolitan Health District and
even the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC).

The Cup
has arrived
By Jessica Duran
[email protected]
For hockey fans, the time has
come. The NHL Stanley Cup series
is here involving two great teams.
For the Chicago Blackhawks, this
is the opportunity to win their
third Stanley Cup within six years.
The last team to accomplish that
feat was the Detroit Red Wings.
The Blackhawks’ opponent is the
Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning has not won a Stanley Cup
since 2004.
Though experts have predicted
that Tampa Bay will be the favorites
to win the series, the real favorites
to win are the Chicago Blackhawks.
Although the Lightning is coming off a strong Eastern Conference
win against hockey powerhouse
New York Rangers, it’s going to
be a difficult task to repeat that
same outcome. But the Lightning is
not in the Stanley Cup final for no
reason, there is more to them than
meets the eye.
Tampa Bay has proven to the
hockey community that we should
not count them out. With their
speed and also being led by center
Stephen Stamkos, their offense
has enough poise to get past the
Blackhawks veteran defense. Also,
the Lightning’s goalie Ben Bishop
has proved himself to be a top tier
goalie in the NHL.
The Blackhawks are coming
off a game seven victory against a
strong Anaheim Ducks team. They
showed up strong to that game and
won 5-2. For a game thought to be
a nail biter, it turned out to actually
be a showcase to prove why they
deserve to be in the Stanley Cup
finals.
The Blackhawks are well-balanced with veteran leadership and
a majority of the same team that
won their past two cups. They are
also a team that never gives up, as
they have magically come away
with close victories throughout
the playoffs. With that experience,
and being led by Captains Jonathan
Toews, Duncan Keith, and Patrick
Sharp, the Blackhawks are the team
to beat.
Having played one game in the
series so far, the Lighting showed
strong plays as they led the game
1-0 for a majority of the game.
But the Blackhawks did their thing
and late in the third period, they
scored two goals in a matter of a
few minutes. They were able to
hold the lead and take game one in
Tampa Bay.
Saturday will be game two,
and after a game one victory, the
Blackhawks look to continue the
momentum and if they get behind,
they’ll have an answer. Tampa
Bay needs to come out strong. For
a game two victory on their home
ice, the Lightning need to outscore
the Blackhawks and play the best
defense of their life.
Game two and the rest of this
series will definitely be exciting and
make for a well-matched Stanley
cup final. As for my friend Matt,
go Hawks!
The San Antonio Stars
X Games
The San Antonio Stars will host their first
home game of the season next Sunday,
June 14 at the Freeman Coliseum. The
Stars made well-needed improvements on
defense in the off season when they drafted
Dearica Hamby. Hamby is Wake Forest’s
all-time leader in points and rebounds.
Remember the last time a San Antonio probasketball team drafted a Demon Deacon
in the first round? Good things happened.
In the summer of 1995, TLC was chasing
waterfalls and dominating the Billboard
charts. Meanwhile, the birth of a new
multi-sporting event was displayed on
June 24 - the Extreme Games. The name
would change the following year to the
“X Games” and prompted the creation
of the Winter X Games in 1997. The
twentieth anniversary of the X Games has
recently wrapped today in Austin, TX.
Hamilton a spectator in Rangers line-up
By Kristian Jaime
[email protected]
When Rangers outfielder Josh
Hamilton returned to his former
club, he said he needed baseball.
Now he will have to wait for four
weeks.
With just seven games into his
latest stint with Texas, his strained
left hamstring muscle has become
the reason to panic for some and
to be patient for others.
Upon his acquisition from the
Anaheim Angels on April 27, his
place in the line-up gave manager,
Jeff Banister, hope that a run was
in the works for the team that was
six and half games out of the top
spot in the American League West.
“You go by what the doctor says
and you set a time frame. If you
are doing better then you get back
quicker and that’s great. But you
look at that as the ultimate goal.
Don’t rush back and do something
stupid,” said Hamilton.

once again for three to four weeks with a strained left hamstring
muscle. (Photo/Courtesy)
This is far from the first time the
all-star has had to deal with extended stay on the disabled list as
he recently suffered a groin injury
and spent three months recovering
from a shoulder injury.
The Rangers are currently on the
hook for an estimated $6 million
following some wrangling that left
the Angels taking on $65 million.
His departure to Anaheim was
courtesy of a monumental fiveyear, $125 million payday.
Yet now back home in Texas,
Hamilton has more important issues with which to deal. Concerns
about a very public battle with
addiction and spats with Angels’
management have left some wondering if his return to the Lone Star
State was wise.
The 34 year-old outfielder did
his best to quiet his critics with a
breakout game against the Boston
Red Sox with a walk-off double to
seal a 4-3 win.
“When I got traded at the start
of the season, guys were playing
good when I got here. And we
started having fun. It’s frustrating and there’s nothing I can do
about it, all I can do is get better,”
Hamilton continued.
As for Banister, the question
now becomes how to fill the hole
on the field and in the hitting order.
“I feel bad for Josh. We had
a line-up before he got here, so
we’ll continue to use that line-up,”
Banister said.
Now comes the 21 year-old
third baseman Joey Gallo and his
upper deck shot in the 9-2 loss to
the Chicago White Sox. That alone
makes a highlight reel, but add on
that he went 3-4 with double and
four RBIs in the same series.
While a sweep of the Chicago
White Sox series was not in the
cards, it did give many hope that
Hamilton’s absence was bearable.
“You saw what happened when
(Gallo) gets a mistake over the
plate and he drives it a long ways.
He’s hot monster power and if
you make a mistake, he has the
opportunity to make you pay,”
Banister continued.
As Hamilton and Rangers
mount a run through the marathon
Major League Baseball (MLB)
season, the key will be longevity.
“I don’t feel like I have anything to prove, not to anybody else.
The fact that I haven’t been the
player I wanted to be the past two
years only fuels the fire that I want
to be that player,” Hamilton said.
Time will tell if that will happen, but for now as with any
injury, fans and players can only
wait.
Stars con prometedora rotación en la WNBA
Por José I. Franco
[email protected]
Con una quinteta reforzada y
suplentes de gran calibre en el mejor baloncesto femenil profesional
del planeta, la franquicia Silver
& Black, Stars de San Antonio,
asociada a la Women’s National
Basketball Association (WNBA),
estará abriendo campaña como
visitante ante la monarca Mercury
de Phoenix y el Dream de Atlanta.
Las Stars jugarán ante su afición
el próximo domingo 14 de junio
en el Coliseo Freeman, su casa
interina, ante las visitantes del
Shock de Tulsa (3:30 p.m.).
Para Stars la temporada 2015
WNBA será su treceava y la
número 11 de su entrenador en
jefe Dan Hughes.
Tendrán un rol regular de 34
partidos jugándose 17 de local y
17 de gira.
Hughes, quien además de ser
el timonel firma como gerente
general y es el encargado de firmar jugadoras novatas, prospectos
y veteranas, recientemente en partidos de pretemporada logró reunir
a jugadoras ya establecidas en
San Antonio con basquetbolistas
excolegiales y de experiencia en
el baloncesto de la WNBA. Entre
ellas figuró la delantera Dearica
Hamby, procedente de Wake
Forest University, quien promete
bastante por ser una jugadoras con
estatura de 6-3 que ante el Shock
de Tulsa dejó ver sus habilidades
encestando 11 unidades durante
18:49 minutos de juego.
Entre las veteranas se encuentra
la nueva Star y alera Alex Montgomery, quien fue obtenida del
Liberty de Nueva York. Ella estará jugando su quinta temporada
en la WNBA.
En el segundo partido de
pretemporada ante Tulsa, en el
Coliseo Freeman, Montogomery
sorprendió con su defensivo estilo
de juego. Durante 26:13 minutos
se apoderó de 8 rebotes, con 2
asistencias, 2 robos y 6 puntos
anotados.
Rotación
La quinteta de Stars será encabezada por la guardia Danielle Robinson y la alera Sophia YoungMalcom, quienes han indicado
que serán ellas las que cargarán
con la responsabilidad de guiar al
equipo por el sendero del triunfo.
La suplente central Kayla
Alexander entrará a su tercera
temporada con Stars en la WNBA,
razón por la que –con su madurez
obtenida– se le vio bastante bien
ante el Shock, donde Hughes
decidió darle luz verde para que
estuviera sobre la duela por espacio de 16:07 minutos en los que
fabricó 16 puntos con certeros
disparos a la canasta, encestando
7 de 10 tiros y 12 rebotes.
Su compañera Jia Perkins,
que es la más veterana con 11
temporadas jugadas (entra a su
12va campaña), fue probada como
abridora jugando 24:09 minutos
en los que hizo buenos 6 de 15
disparos al aro, con 1 de 6 triples,
2 rebotes y 13 puntos.
“El campo de entrenamiento
fue bueno para todas las jugadoras convocadas. Los resultados
de pretemporada para nada nos
molestaron; sin embargo, se tiene
que ver a futuro, dejando entrever
que tanto en las prácticas como
en los dos partidos amistosos se
jugó de acuerdo a nuestro plan de
juego en la defensiva y ofensiva.
Nuestra rotación se ve bastante
fuerte y consistente, por lo que
no tendremos ningún problema
para comenzar con éxito nuestra
temporada”, apuntó Hughes.
Stars, en doce temporadas jugadas en la WNBA, tiene marca de
329 victorias por 225 derrotas, con
un promedio en partidos ganados
de .365.
En su primera temporada, en
el año 2003 las Stars estrenaron
la duela de la arena multiusos
el entonces Southwestern Bell
Center (AT&T Center), ganando
12 partidos con 22 descalabros.
En la temporada 2004 el equipo
se fue de picada ganando 9 partidos por 25 derrotas. La campaña
2005 no fue nada buena ya que
solo ganaron 7 partidos y perdieron
27.
En el 2006 Stars mejoraron ganando 13 y perdiendo 21 cotejos.
En 2007 el coach Hughes obtuvo mejores dividendos ganando
20 partidos por 14 derrotas.
En el 2008, con la guardia
estelar Becky Hammon y la alera
Sophia Young, echaron las campanas al vuelo guiando al equipo
a la obtención de 24 triunfos con
10 derrotas y de paso ganaron el
primer banderín de monarcas en
la Conferencia del Oeste.
La temporada del 2009 le dejó a
San Antonio mal sabor de boca ganando 15 y perdiendo 19 partidos.
El 2010 les dejó marca de
10-20.
En el 2011 Stars fue sede del
XV WNBA All-Star Game en el
que fueron elegidas Hammon y
la entonces novata alera Danielle
Adams. El partido se jugó en el
AT&T Center con victoria para la
Conferencia del Este que derrotó
al Oeste con marcador de 118-113.
Hammon y Adams representaron a San Antonio en la Conferencia del Oeste.
En la temporada 2012 Stars
retomaron el vuelo ganando 21
partidos con 13 derrotas. En el
2013 bajaron su juego finalizando
con 12 victorias por 22 derrotas.
El 2014, que fue la última temporada de la escolta Becky Hammon, Stars ganó 16 partidos por
18 derrotas, lo que le dio boleto
para la primera ronda del playoff
en el oeste, corriendo sin suerte al
ser eliminadas por Lynx de Minnesota, que las barrieron en serie
a ganar 2 de 3 partidos.
“Para mí esta temporada va a
ser de gran importancia. He tenido
buenas sesiones de entrenamiento,
he visto el nuevo talento que
tenemos en la rotación por lo que
tendré que sobreponerme en mi
estilo de juego y darme confianza
comenzando de nuevo y responderle positivamente al equipo”,
afirmó Young-Malcom, quien
en la temporada 2013 no tuvo acción por estar en recuperación de
operación en su rodilla derecha.
En su retorno a la duela en
2014, Young-Malcom jugó a
medio vuelo sin tirarse a fondo,
alternando con Hammon y llevando
a buena posición a Stars.
“Mi estado físico esta en óptima condición para jugar defensivamente, no me quedó ningún
trauma, me siendo capaz de tener
una buena temporada”, añadió
Young-Malcom.
La Conferencia del Oeste la
conformarán los equipos Sparks
de Los Ángeles, Lynx de Minnesota, Mercury de Phoenix,
Storm de Seattle, Shock de Tulsa
y Stars.
En la Conferencia del Este
competirán las franquicias
del Dream de Atlanta, Sky de
Chicago, Sun de Connecticut, Fever de Indiana, Liberty
de Nueva York y Mystics de
Washington.

Jimmie Johnson ganó FedEx 400
Por Reid Spencer
Nascar Wire Service
El veterano piloto Jimmie Johnson fue bienvenido al selecto club
en el que solo estaban los audaces
pilotos Richard Petty, David Pearson, Darrel Waltrip y Dale Earnhardt
Sr. como los únicos corredores de
autos con, por lo menos, 10 victorias
en una sola pista de la NASCAR
Sprint Cup.
Eso fue lo que hizo el piloto
conductor del popular Chevrolet
No. 48 al cruzar la meta en primer
lugar al final de la espectacular carrera FedEx 400 benefiting Autism
Speaks, que exitosamente se corrió
en la pista del autódromo Dover
International Speedway, con sede
en la ciudad de Dover, estado de
Delaware.
Para Johnson fue además su
cuarta victoria de la presente temporada y la número 74 de su brillante
carrera, con lo que se ubica a dos
victorias de Earnhardt, que es dueño
del séptimo puesto en su historia de
piloto profesional.
A diferencia de sus anteriores victorias en el Monster Mile, Johnson
no dominó la carrera por completo
y solo lideró 23 vueltas al volante
del Chevrolet No.48 del equipo
Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet,
incluyendo las tres últimas bajo la
bandera verde-blanca a cuadros
en las que contuvo el ataque del
campeón defensor de la Sprint Cup
y líder de la Clasificación de Pilotos,
Kevin Harvick.
Johnson adelantó a Harvick en
el reinicio, después de un accidente
entre Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin
y Kurt Busch y en ese punto de la
carrera solo ellos dos estaban en la
pista con llantas más desgastadas.
A pesar de ese percance, Johnson
logró mantener el control de su auto
en el siguiente reinicio en la vuelta
391.
Johnson volvió hacer lo mismo
tras la bandera amarilla por el accidente entre Greg Biffle, Casey
Mears y AJ Allmendinger, y, finalmente, cruzó la meta con .435
segundos de ventaja sobre Harvick,
quien logró su novena ocasión
finalizando en el segundo lugar, en
13 carreras de la temporada, expandiendo su ventaja a 44 puntos
sobre Martin Truex Jr. (6to.) en la
Clasificación de Pilotos.
“Solo intente manejar de forma
inteligente dentro de mi línea y
parece que los que tenían llantas
nuevas no iban demasiado rápido”,
dijo Johnson. “El jefe del equipo
Chad Knaus me lo dijo por el radio
y nunca aparecieron. El No. 4 (Harvick) y yo lo hicimos bien con llantas
usadas”, dijo el triunfador Johnson.
Harvick, por su parte, tuvo que
trabajar un poco más contundente
debido a la rotura de un estabilizador
dentro de su auto.
“Sufrí un poco al final en los
inicios. Una vez que se rompió la
barra tuve que hacer un esfuerzo
para mantener el control durante
las últimas 25 vueltas. Al final fue
un buen día, estuvimos adelante y
aunque no pudimos terminar ahí
fue una carrera sólida”, comentó
Harvick, que estuvo de líder en el
óvalo por espacio de 91 vueltas.
Kyle Larson finalizó en el tercer
lugar, seguido por Kasey Kahne
y Aric Almirola para completar el
Top 5.
The San Antonio Scorpions
earned a point in the standings in a
1-1 draw with the Fort Lauderdale
Strikers at Toyota Field in front of
6,396 fans. The Alamo City boys
started off the match on the front
foot and after failing to capitalize
on a series of corner kicks starting in the 12th minute, they found
their opener from an unlikely
source in the 21st. Rafael Castillo
brought the ball up the right side
of the pitch and sent an early cross
towards the Ft. Lauderdale goal
from about 35 yards away. Striker
Omar Cummings got onto the end
of the cross and flicked it towards
the center of the box as Strikers
keeper Lionel Brown began to
rush off his line. The Scorpions
midfielder Joseph Nane beat him
to the ball and deftly flicked it
over Brown’s head where it softly
fell into the goal.
The Scorpions looked to be
headed into the half with a lead,
but a late flurry by the visitors
eventually produced the equalizer.
In the 41’, FTL attacking midfielder Dani Sanchez broke in on
San Antonio goalie Daryl Sattler
and took a quick shot from about
12 yards away, but Sattler’s reactions were quick as he got all of
his left hand onto the ball to push
it wide of the post. Just three minutes later, Ft. Lauderdale again got
behind the Scorpions’ line with
James Marcelin breaking into the
box on the right side. As Sattler
converged, Marcelin slid the ball
across to the left side just outside
the 6-yard-box and found Stefano
Pinho, who easily finished into
the open goal to tie the match 1-1.
Though neither side found a
winner in the second half, the
match turned into an open, entertaining affair with chances for
both teams. The best chance for
the visitors came in the 68’ when
Léo Moura stepped up to take a
21-yard free kick. The Brazilian

wall and just over the crossbar as

at the feast day Mass for San Toribio Romo, held May 21 at San Fernando Cathedral. (Courtesy photo)
By Jordan McMorrough
Today’s Catholic
San Toribio Romo is a priest
and martyr of the church. He
is called upon by many in the
church as a patron saint of those
who immigrate to a different
country.
Archbishop Gustavo GarciaSiller, MSpS, celebrated a Mass
for the beloved saint’s feast day
on May 21 at San Fernando Cathedral.
“San Toribio was known to
have a great devotion to the
Eucharist, asking the Lord in
prayer to never let a day of his
life pass without receiving him
in communion. He knew well the
prayer Jesus had made, that Jesus
may be in us, so that we may be
in him, and through him, be with
the Father and the Holy Spirit.
That unity, that communion, was
for justice, but not justice without
love and mercy.
“How can we turn our backs
on them? How do we maintain
our unity with our brothers and
sisters in prison, in jail, or in
detention centers? How do you
maintain that unity in your own
life?” he asked.
The Missionary of the Holy
Spirit then urged listeners to
remember the words of Jesus
in his parable of the sheep and
the goats, when he praised those
blessed ones saying, “I was in
prison and you visited me” (Matthew 25).
Archbishop Gustavo talked
of his heart for those immigrant
families who are in detention
centers. “We pray for them especially today on this feast of their
patron. I ask God to help us soften
and open our hearts, to see these
families as families in need, not
as dangers to our society or simply as faceless law-breakers,” he
stressed. “They are our sisters and
brothers, and we should desire to
fulfill the prayer of Jesus as fully
as we can. They should be as
close to us in our heart as Jesus is.
That is what our Lord commands;
that is what he prayed.”
The archbishop closed by
emphasizing that none of us is
greater than our Lord, but all of us
are called to open our hearts like
his. “May San Toribio help us
with his prayers, calling us in this
Mass and always to greater communion with God and with each
other,” he concluded. “Through
the intercession of Mary, Mother
of all people and our mother,
mother of the immigrant and
the imprisoned, help us with her
grace and prayers to be people
who desire the great unity of God
– Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
so important to this great saint,”
said Archbishop Gustavo in his
homily.
He continued, “But still the fact
remains, we are not united. Even
in our parishes, we are divided.
We allow ourselves to worry and
to fight about small things. We
allow ourselves to be divided.”
The archbishop expressed his
sadness that Christians are also
guilty of ignoring or shunning
some members of our society.
“Often we ignore the plight of
our brothers and sisters who are
imprisoned and detained. We
excuse ourselves saying that
they have done bad things and
are receiving the proper punishment for their crimes,” he said.
“But regardless of the law and
what they have done or not done,
they are our brothers and sisters
in Christ.”
The San Antonio prelate acknowledged that we should stand

que lo citáramos, como sigue:
“Fui abandonado por mi madre
cuando tenía dieciocho meses.
Me crié en casa de mi abuela
paterna, y fui maltratado física
y sicológicamente.... Mi madre...
volvió cuando yo tenía doce
años, y la conocí, pero su trato
siempre fue déspota conmigo.
Hace dos años me dijo que ella
siempre había querido abortarme, pero que nunca pudo. Eso
me ha destruido....
“Tengo una familia hermosa,
esposa excelente y tres hijos....
Tengo todo para ser (feliz), pero
mi pasado no me deja en paz....
¡Ayúdeme, por favor! Tengo
cuarenta y cinco años, y no
conozco la felicidad”.
Este es el consejo que le dio
mi esposa:
“Estimado amigo:
“... Lo felicitamos por su
hermosa familia. Es obvio que
usted ha encontrado una esposa
que comprende su pasado y que
lo apoya emocionalmente en la
actualidad. ¡Qué regalo tan maravilloso! Sin embargo, a pesar
de sus bendiciones actuales, el
pasado se interpuso cruelmente
con información hiriente de parte
presente, tal como ya perjudicó
su pasado.
“Quiero sugerirle tres maneras
en las que puede ayudarse a sí
mismo ahora. La primera es que
se desahogue contándole a Dios
en oración todo lo que siente en
el corazón. Dígale lo desesperado
y decepcionado que se siente.
Él es el Padre que ha querido
acompañarlo en su dolor desde el
principio. Es el Padre que lo amó
tanto, antes de que usted hubiera
nacido, que dispuso la manera en
que usted pudiera llegar a ser su
hijo por la eternidad. Si acepta
a su Hijo Jesucristo como su
Salvador, y le pide que perdone
sus pecados, se sentirá acogido
en una familia mucho mejor que
la que jamás pudiera haber soñado.
Dios, su Padre celestial, lo abrazará
con sus fuertes brazos y lo hará
sentir que lo ama de verdad.
“En segundo lugar, le sugiero
que le diga a su médico acerca
de la dificultad que tiene para
superar esa información negativa que se ha apoderado de sus
pensamientos. Bien pudiera ser
que todo el trauma en su vida
haya causado cambios químicos
sutiles en los centros de información de su cerebro, y que le
convendría recibir medicamentos
que estabilizarán esas sustancias
químicas.
“Por último, ¡lo reto a que se
defienda! ¿Cómo puede hacer
niñez? Usted tiene a tres personas que viven ahí mismo en
su hogar que todavía son niños.
Tiene entonces la oportunidad
de mostrarles amor y aprecio del
modo en que usted no los recibió.
Puede abrazarlos, pasar tiempo
con ellos, y mostrar interés en sus
clases y sus actividades. Cuando
tenga esos pensamientos negativos y se sienta desesperado,
puede optar por ponerse firme e
influir positivamente en la vida
de ellos. Comprométase a hacer
lo posible para que, en todos los
sentidos, su hogar y el ambiente
en que se mueven ellos sean diferentes del hogar de su niñez y de
su propia experiencia. Cada vez
que vuelva a sentirse abrumado
por esos sentimientos oscuros,
póngase firme y haga algo positivo en beneficio de sus hijos. Niéguese a permanecer impasible y
a pensar de un modo negativo.
Aproveche más bien esa energía
para hacer algo bueno. A medida
que eso se convierta en un hábito,
usted poco a poco logrará vencer
el pasado y esperar un futuro
brillante”.
Con eso termina lo que mi
esposa recomienda en este caso.

Catholic Charities keeps
senior citizens cool
By Jose Arredondo
Catholic Charities Archdiocese of San Antonio, Inc. kicks
off the annual Project Cool this
weekend.
This year they will collaborate with the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul, the City of San
Antonio, United Way and the
San Antonio Fire Department.
The press conference was
held on June 5 at the Guadalupe
Community Center and many
influential figures were in attendance; Fire Chief Charles
Hood as well as City Councilman Alan E. Warrick appeared.
Project Cool came about the
same time Tim Duncan arrived
in San Antonio, in 1997.
This summer marked its 19th
anniversary as they continue to
attack the same issue, heat in
the city.
According to Currentresults.
com, San Antonio is the eighth
hottest city in the United States.
On average, San Antonio’s
temperature rises above 99 degrees eight days a year.
Help senior citizens stay cool this summer. (Courtesy photo)
There are several senior citizens who don’t have air conditioning in their homes and the
ones who do, have a fear of
paying too much on their utility
bills because of fixed incomes.
According to Healthresearchfunding.org, 31 percent of the
deaths from heat exhaustion
symptoms were attributed to
exposure to excessive natural
heat.
In contrast, the project will
collect brand new donated fans
for the Senior Citizens and individuals with disabilities.
“If there any individuals who
want to donate a brand new fan,
we would greatly appreciate
it,” Executive Director Gladys
Gonzalez said.
Last year the project collected
5,000 fans.
“We will also accept monetary donations, and those can
be accepted through our Catholic Charities website,” Gonzalez
said. “Anything can assist this
project.”
Gonzalez encourages San
Antonio citizens to support
this cause.
The project will regulate
throughout the summer and
conclude in August.
There will be drop-off sites at
local fire stations as well as the
Guadalupe Community Center.
For more information on
Project Cool, visit www.ccaosa.
org or call the Guadalupe Community Center at 210-226-6178.

La Prensa de San Antonio SA Youth and Texas Hunger Initiative
kick off summer meals program
By Cynthia Le Monds
Youth development organization SA Youth will partner with
Baylor University’s Texas Hunger
Initiative, a statewide nonprofit,
to host a kickoff of a free summer
meals program for kids and teens
in the area. The kickoff will be a
community-wide block party at
SA Youth’s Poplar Street location
at 1215 West Poplar Street from
11a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, June
8. The event will help connect
more area kids and teens to health
and nutrition resources by raising
awareness about the Summer
Food Service Program; highlight
the fitness, nutrition, and education programs of SA Youth; and
give the community more insight
into the work of the Texas Hunger
Initiative.
Prior to lunch, kids will enjoy
outdoor activities including an
inflated bounce house, carnival
games and fun on the playground.
Lunch will be served in the cafeteria, followed by an exercise done
by SA Youth’s new health/nutrition mascot Super Fitty. After this,
there will be hour-long lessons in
origami, math, English, and science, demonstrating key summer
educational programming offered
by SA Youth.

mer meals to all kids and teens ages
18 and younger at more than 250
sites – including schools, churches,
recreation centers, YMCAs, and
more – across San Antonio all
summer long. However, only
about 10 percent of children in San
Antonio who are eligible for free
or reduced-price lunch during the
school year participated in the free
Summer Meals program last year.
The kickoff event at SA Youth will
help raise public awareness about
the summer meals program. It
will also highlight the strong local
leadership of SA Youth and the
Texas Hunger Initiative.
Although SA Youth’s programs
are only open to students from cer-
tain schools around their centers,
they are nonetheless playing an
important role in ending childhood
hunger in San Antonio. Serving
as a major sponsor of summer
meals in San Antonio, SA Youth’s
programs attract more than 100
children per day at each of their 36
sites around the city. Their model
serves as an example of what great
summer nutrition programs can
look like in San Antonio.
Summertime should be a stressfree time for parents and kids, full
of food, friends and fun. Free Summer Meals can help. Families can
visit www.summerfood.org, call
211, or text FOODTX to 877-877
to find the nearest meal site.

June marks Pride Month, a
time dedicated to recognizing the LGBTI communities
throughout the country.
This month, the San Antonio
Public Library (SAPL) partners
with local organizations like the
San Antonio LGBT Chamber
of Commerce and publications
like “Out In SA” to celebrate the
resources and rights of the local
community.
When the SAPL developed
Pride Month in 2009, the city
didn’t have many programs
or celebrations for the LGBTI
community.
Joel Bangilan, the Coordinator for Branch Services noted
that the library’s recognition of
the LGBTI community as a vital
and vibrant part of San Antonio
inspired them to take a more
active role in providing accurate
and reliable information for the
public.
“When this began it was a
climate where people were just
coming out,” Bangilan said.
“We realized that people might
not know how to access reliable
information, and we wanted to
provide that in a respectful yet
informal way.”
The LGBTI community has a
rich cultural and social history,
but it remained largely undocumented until major organizations and celebrities recently
began sharing their stories with
the public.
SAPL has partnered with
PFLAG (Parents, Families &
Friends of Lesbians & Gays)
to help individuals tell their
own stories, and learn what to
do after they come out to the
community.
The library is also working
with the San Antonio LGBT
Chamber of Commerce to provide resources and events that
address the potential challenges
of coming out in the workplace
as a gay or transgender individual.
“We’re creating an inclusive environment,” said Robert
Salcido, the Field Director for
Equality Texas. “It’s not just
the LGBTI community, but the
allied community as well. It’s
amazing to see people connect
through music, art and film to
what’s happening in the entire
community itself.”
Pride Month events run until
the end of June, but the library
invites the public to learn more
about LGBTI issues and resources year-round at local branches
or online at http://guides.mysapl.
org/pride. Visitors can call 210207-2500 or visit mysapl.org to
learn more about the free events
at participating branch locations
during Pride Month.
VIA launches online survey
to support vision 2040
By Lorraine Pulido, Ph.D.
VIA Metropolitan Transit has
launched an interactive, online
survey in support of “Vision
2040,” a planning process to
update the agency’s Long Range
Comprehensive Transportation
Plan.
The survey is an engagement
tool that will provide VIA with
valuable insight into how citizens in the greater San Antonio
region view public transportation, what their transportation
priorities are, and what enhancements they would like to see for
the future. The survey is located
at www.vision2040survey.com,
and it will be active through
July 4.
“Vision 2040 is a community-driven process with many
opportunities for members of
the public to provide us with
input and suggestions,” said
VIA President/CEO Jeff Arndt.
“This online survey is a great
way for people to get involved in
planning the future, and we are
promoting it with a public outreach effort that includes social
media, online content, and many
community events.”
When Vision 2040 is completed in the fall of 2016, it
will serve as a guide for public
transportation for the region
and assist decision makers and
transportation professionals in
planning for the region’s growing population over the next 25
years. Vision 2040 will identify
public transportation options
that can enhance mobility and
the overall quality of life for
current and future residents of
the region.
More information on Vision
2040 can be found at www.
viavision2040.com. The survey
materials are also available in
Spanish at this site.
VIA Metropolitan Transit
provides public transportation
services to 13 cities in the San
Antonio area and the unincorporated areas of Bexar County.
VIA operates seven days a week
on 90 routes, and last year, VIA
provided 44 million rides across
the region. VIA’s mission is to
enhance the community’s environment and quality of life by
providing regional and customeroriented public transportation The 2015 “Come Out” panel discusses challenges and progress made in the San Antonio LGBTI

home. He would love nothing more than
to spend the following Valentine’s Day
and every other awesome holiday with a
wonderful family who will cherish and
adore him. When Mumford arrived, his
skin was red and his hair was thin and
patchy. After evaluation, we discovered
that he had Demodex mange, so he spent
time in a lovely foster home until ready
for adoption. He made friends with his
foster family’s pup; felines on the other
hand are not recommended for Mumford.
This smart guy practiced his potty training techniques and did very well with
letting his foster family know when it was
time for him to take a potty break. When
a hand in a “stop” motion is seen, Mumford knows that it is time to sit and he
has practiced “down” for yummy treats.
During playtime, fetch is his favorite
game to play until he gets tuckered out. While he isn’t a petite pup, Mumford loves to
cuddle, whether it is on a comfy couch or bed, he is up to snuggle! If you are interested in
meeting this adorable pooch, please visit the San Antonio Humane Society and ask to meet
Mumford! Please remember to spay/neuter your pets to help ensure every dog and cat born
has a home waiting for them. San Antonio Humane Society, Connecting Friends for Life.

turbados y alivio al
corazón mío, Dios te
salve María...
Y aunque tu amor no
merezco, no recurriré
a ti en vano, pues eres
el Hijo de Dios y auxilio de los cristianos,
Gloria al Padre…
Acuérdate ¡Oh Niño
Santo! que jamás se
oyó decir que alguno
te haya implorado sin
tu auxilio recibir. Por
eso con fe y confianza, humilde y arrepentido, lleno de amor
y esperanza este favor
yo te pido.
Pedir la gracia que
se desea y decir siete
veces.
Divino Niño Jesús,
bendícenos.
Novena To
St. Jude
Most holy Apostle,
St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of
Jesus, the Church
honors and invokes
you universally, as
the patron of difficult
cases, of things almost
despaired of, Pray for
me, I am so helpless
and alone.
Intercede with God
for me that He brings
visible and speedy
help where help is
almost despaired of.
Come to my assistance in this great
need that I may receive the consolation
and help of heaven
in all my necessities,
tribulations, and sufferings, particularly
- (make your request
here) - and that I may
praise God with you
and all the saints forever. I promise, O
Blessed St. Jude, to
be ever mindful of
this great favor granted me by God and
to always honor you
as my special and
powerful patron, and
to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Amen.
Para los casos más
difíciles
Ante ti vengo con la fe
de mi alma, a buscar
tu sagrado consuelo
en mi difícil situación,
no me desampares de
las puertas que se me
hacen de abrir e mi
camino, sea tu Brazo
Poderoso el que las
abra para darme la
tranquilidad que ansío (tres peticiones
difíciles). Súplica que
te hace un corazón
afligido por los duros golpes del cruel
destino que lo han
vencido siempre en
la lucha humana, ya
que sin tu poder divino no intercede en
mi favor sucumbiré
por falta de ayuda.
Brazo poderoso, asísteme, ampárame y
condúceme a la gloria celestial. Gracias
dulce Jesús (rezar
quince días empezando viernes). Publicar antes de los ocho.
Confío en Dios Padre
y en su misericordia
divina, por eso pido
a Él que ilumine mi
camino y me otorgue
la gracia que tanto deseo. Gracias Padre por
oírme. Mande publicar y observe lo que
ocurrirá el cuarto día.

“El Quijote” saldrá pronto en espanglish
Por Adda Montalvo
[email protected]
“El gentleman andaba por allí
por los fifty”… ¿Suena, no? Era
alto, flacucho y los sesos se le
fundieron un día de tanto estar a solas leyendo sus libros de caballería
y soñando sus andanzas. ¿Quién
más? Pues es el famoso Don Quijote, de Miguel de Cervantes, el
de la historia que comienza “En
un lugar de La Mancha de cuyo
nombre no quiero acordarme…”.
Pero dentro de unos meses, la
obra más universal de la lengua
española iniciará una aventura
más en las letras cuando su versión completa (Parte 1 y 2) en sea
lanzada al mercado en espanglish.
El soñador y traductor de esta
andanza lingüística es el filólogo
de origen mexicano, afincado en
Amherst College (Massachusetts),
Ilan Stavans.
La Prensa platicó con Stavans,
profesor de cultura latinoamericana y latina, quien contó que le
quedan solo unas cien páginas que
traducir y que le encantaría tener
el libro finalizado para la Feria de
Guadalajara (México), a principios
de diciembre.
Este año es importante para
su proyecto, porque en 2015 se
cumplen 400 años de la publicación de la Segunda Parte de
El Quijote. Y en 2016, 400 de la
muerte de Miguel de Cervantes,
su autor.
“A ver si lo logro”, admite sobre
la tarea que comenzó en 2002. De
hecho, el primer capítulo en espanglish puede leerse en Internet.
Y comienza con: “In un placete de
La Mancha…”.
“Mi intención de la traducción

“Es un libro de doscientas y pico
de páginas sobre cómo Cervantes
escribió la novela, la recepción
que tuvo en España, las primeras
traducciones que se hicieron, todas
las adaptaciones al cine, teatro,

explica Stavans.
En 10 capítulos “Quixote” no
solo incluye ilustraciones, cómics,
sino un sinfín de datos desde la
interpretación de Sigmund Freud
de cómo El Quijote es toda una
aventura en busca del amor de
Dulcinea hasta cómo la novela de
Cervantes era muy admirada por

“A mí El Quijote me encanta”,
subraya Stavans. “Me parece
un libro clave para entender la
humanidad. Mi opinión es que El
Quijote es una especie de manual
de vida que cambia con los lectores… cuando uno es joven lo lee
como un libro idealista, cuando
uno lo lee con cincuenta y pico de
años, como yo, lo lee como algo
patético. Creo que es un libro que
inventó la modernidad”, finaliza.
Get your Texas On at the Mamma Mia! returns to S.A.
Texas Folklife Festival
By Natalie Bobadilla
[email protected]
By Keanna Whisenhunt
The 44th Annual Texas Folklife
Festival is making its way back
to San Antonio next weekend, as
Texas’ largest cultural celebration.
The two-day event showcases
Texas culture through music,
food, dance, and art. Modeled
after the original Smithsonian
Folklife Festival in Washington
D.C., the festival held here in San
Antonio was founded by O.T.
Baker, who wanted to create a
near replica of the Smithsonian
event, while displaying authentic
Texan culture. James Benavides,
Senior Communications Specialist at the University of Texas at
San Antonio said, “It is an expression of Texas… our heritage…
it demonstrates our culture as
Texans.”
This year’s festival will kick off
at the Institute of Texan Culture on
Saturday, June 13 at 11 a.m. and
will end at 11 p.m. The festivities
will continue Sunday, June 14
at noon and will come to a close
at 7 p.m. For the approximated
40,000 spectators that will attend
the Texas Folklife Festival, there
will be several new exhibits to discover, including a Kid’s Cultural
Corner, and performances by Zorya, a Ukrainian dance ensemble.
The members of Zorya travel from
Dallas every two years to perform
at the Texas Folklife Festival.
For the Ukrainian Ensemble, the
Texas Folklife Festival is not just
a place to perform, but rather a
grand expression of its dance
inspiration.
One thing spectators will not
want to miss at the Texas Folklife
Festival is the Grape Harbor, a
stage garnished in grape vines
where spectators can enjoy per-

formances by talented musicians.
Benavides describes it stating,
“You’ll see the best acts there. It is
a really intimate setting. You can
feel the love these people have of
the craft… it’s in every note and
every song.”
Folklife is the focal point of
the festival’s events. “The Texas
Folklife Festival is a combination of our cultural traditions,”
Benavides says. It unites the many
diverse cultures that make up true
Texan folk life. It’s a cultivation
of people, places, history, diversity, art, and food that make our
heritage.
This year’s festival will continue to engage and educate attendees through traditional showcases
and performances by artisans,
musicians, dancers, storytellers,
and more. More than 40 cultural
groups will take part in bringing
Texas heritage to life. The theme
of this year’s festival is “Get Your
Texas On,” which allows you to
“embrace your heritage and what
the culture of Texas means to
you,” says Benavides.

pricing, be sure to check www.

bride’s idea of a perfect wedding
includes her father walking her
down the aisle, thus, her quest
to find her father begins.
As a part of her search and
unbeknownst to her mother, Sophie sends wedding invitations
to three men from her mother’s
past. The trio arrives on the eve
of the wedding, but the journey
is far from over.
The production is not only
relatable to single parents, but
also to those who love catchy
tunes and cheery dance moves.
Songs of the Swedish pop group
ABBA are interlaced throughout
the storyline and they’re sure to
make audience members want
get up and dance along with the
performers.
If anyone understands the
integral role of the upbeat dance
routines in the production, it’s
Dance Captain Danny Lopez.
The Connecticut native with
roots in Puerto Rico took some
time to catch his breath and
spoke with La Prensa about his
life as a dance captain and as
a swing. In Broadway lingo, a
swing is a fill-in dancer.
So what exactly does a dance
captain do?
“The dance captain is in charge
of maintaining the choreography
throughout the show while on the
road since the choreographer is
not with us and can’t make it out
that often,” Lopez explained. “I
am in charge of making sure that
everyone is doing what they’re
supposed to be doing and making sure that the integrity and the
intention behind the movement
are still there.”

touring production of Mamma Mia! (Courtesy photo)
In addition to knowing every
dance within the show, as a
swing, Lopez also has to be ready
to step into multiple roles at a
moment’s notice in case one of
the dancers is injured.
When he joined the production
two years ago, that was his only
role, however, when the time
came to renew the contracts, he
was also offered the position of
dance captain.
“I had never been dance captain for such a big production before so I was definitely a little bit
nervous and a little bit hesitant,
but I’m so grateful and I’m so
happy that I stepped up and took
the opportunity,” Lopez said.
He made his debut as Dance
Captain last August and the
same energy and enthusiasm is
still there.
“For me, this dancing itself is
just fun, you get on the stage and
you just let it all out and you just
have a good time,” Lopez told
La Prensa. “You have so much
energy and you see the faces
light up in the crowd and they’re
dancing with you in the aisle and
it just makes you feel great.”
His ultimate goal is to land a
part in Broadway, but his high
school self would have never
stepped out on a stage.
“I used to be so shy, I never
wanted to be in front of a big
group of people,” Lopez recalled.
Fate took its course when he
accompanied his cousin to theatre rehearsals his senior year of
high school. One of the actors
dropped out and they asked Lopez if he could step in for a little
bit. They ended up offering him
the role and placed him in several
dance numbers.
“That’s when I realized that I
actually had movement and was
good with choreography and ever
since then I kind of started taking
classes in New York City when I
could,” Lopez said.
In the last 15 years, he has
performed in several regional
theatres across the country. As
for his future, he recently signed
his contract as dance captain for
one more year.
“After that I don’t know what
the world has in store for me,”
Lopez said. “I’m not sure if I
will go back to New York and
try to get something in New York
City, maybe try and stay on the
road, but right now I’m just kind
of living my life in the moment
as it is, and being grateful and
enjoying everything that I have
right now.”
The touring production will
be in San Antonio June 9 – 14.

“Entourage” picks up where it left off Insidious 3 fails to show horror
By Christina Acosta
[email protected]

It’s been four years since the
boys ended their time on Entourage and let’s just say that this
movie should be considered a part
two to the series finale.
The movie begins on a beautiful, blue beach in Spain where
Vince (Adrian Grenier) is located
partying after divorcing his wife.
The rest of gang decides to go to
Spain to help Vince recover from
his divorce.
However, Vince does not seem
depressed or angry about the
divorce; he would rather go back
to work after finding success as
an actor. Thanks to Ari (Jeremy
Piven), Vince has found a new
acting project.
Not only does Vince want to act,
he also wants to direct the movie
and cast Drama (Kevin Dillon) in
a role. However, many people see
Drama as a joke.
Vince wants to call all the shots,
leading to the start of many problems that occur along the way. One
of those problems includes giving
the state of Texas a bad rap.
After using all the money the
studio has given him to create
this movie, Vince still has to ask
Ari for more to cover the visual
effects. This doesn’t sit well with
Ari because that means he has to
go to Texas and ask the contributor
for the funds.
Once in the Lone Star State,
he visits Larsen McCredle (Billy
Bob Thornton), who doesn’t want
to give up the money just yet. He
decides to send his son Travis McCredle (Haley Joel Osment) to L.A
and see the movie, which doesn’t
sit well with Ari.
The problem is that Vince, E,
and Turtle haven’t shown Ari the
movie because they are scared of
him hating it and having a heart
When horror films come to
mind, you usually think of blood,
gore, violence, death, and screaming at the top of your lungs.
Only one of these showed up in
Insidious 3. In Leigh Whannel’s
directorial debut, the horror flick
proved that sometimes movies
need a little more work done before it goes to the theatre.
The prequel starts before the
Lambert family, when Quinn
Brenner (Stefanie Scott) decides
to pay a visit to retired paranormal
investigator Elise Rainer. She
wants to know if her mother is
contacting her from the dead.
However, the spirit is not her
mother; it is an evil spirit from
the dead who wants to take away
her soul.
This scares Elise. She advises
sweet and innocent Quinn to never call for her mother because she
may be calling the wrong spirit.
After the meeting, Quinn tries
to inform her father Sean Brenner
(Dermot Mulroney) about her
mother, but her father does not
want to hear about. As a mourning
husband, he wants to avoid the

attack. Ari prays to God that this
isn’t the worst movie in the world,
reluctantly watches the movie and
ends up enjoying it.
Although Ari loves it, Travis
McCredle hates it so much he tells
his father not to send a paycheck,
but for different reasons we’ll get
to later.
While Ari and Vince are trying
to fix the problem of creating the
movie, E (Kevin Connolly) is
getting ready to have a baby with
Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui), but
hasn’t yet given up on his days of
being a womanizer. Knowing this,
Sloan is unsure if she wants to ask
E to be a full-time daddy.
Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) is now
a successful entrepreneur and
he even falls in love with UFC
fighter Rhonda Rousey. After going through trials to get Rousey’s
attention, you can’t help but be
happy for Turtle because he has
grown up and started taking life
seriously.
Altogether, the boys must man
up in their professional and personal lives to save them from
being another pack of washed
up Hollywood actors, assistants,
managers, and agents.
Osment did an excellent job
playing the Texan villain of Entourage. “The little boy from Forrest Gump has grown up,” as Ari
points out.
The reason why Travis hated
Vince’s movie so much was
because he had his eyes on a girl
that he could never have. Emily
Ratajkowski causes a stir in this
movie, just as she did in Robin
Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.”
Ratajkowski’s character is not
the only celebrity that makes a
small appearance in the movie.
The Entourage way of doing
things is to add a ton of cameos
that include actors, musicians,
and athletes. But important ones
to look out for are Entourage’s
producer Mark Wahlberg, actor
Armie Hammer, and comedian
Bob Saget.
Although Osment played a good
villain, Jeremy Piven stole the
“bad guy” show with his temper
tantrums. He was so mad at one
point that he punched the picture
of a cat in his therapist’s office
while his wife was watching. But
even his character grew up a little
and ended up realizing that it was
time for him to not be afraid and
take risks, something a workaholic
doesn’t usually understand.
Ultimately, the movie gives the
ending that we were all hoping for.
It goes to show that if you want to
be a hard working actor, you have
to fight for everything until you get
what you want, even if it takes 20
years. The boys, now men, have
proven that Hollywood is a place
where success can be possible if
you surround yourself with an
“entourage” that will fight for it
right along with you.
topic of his deceased wife.
Then, unfortunate events start
to happen to Quinn including
getting hit by a car that almost
killed her, but left her with two
broken legs. She also begins to
hear things, and was even thrown
to the floor by the spirit, causing
her to wear a neck brace. She is
so physically weak that the evil
spirit could have taken her away
on any given day.
While all of this is happening,
Elise is aware of what is going
on, and decides to help Quinn
after seeing signs everywhere that
Quinn needs her. She tries again
only to find in the other world that
another evil spirit is there to kill
Elise. She is once again afraid to
help Quinn and runs from Quinn’s
house.
Elise then gets a visitor to inform her how strong she is and
how she has the power to kill
the spirit.
Sean Brenner is desperate
to end this insanity so he hires
so-called ghost hunters (Angus
Sampson and Leigh Whannell) to
cleanse the house. The boys are in
for a surprise when Quinn almost
kills them and her father after half
of her soul is taken away by the
evil spirit. This proved that the
two men were nothing but frauds.
When they are ready to leave,
Elise comes back to try to save
Quinn before it was too late (third
times a charm).
When I first saw the trailer for
“Insidious 3,” I was expecting
to see a movie that was going to
have so much horror I would be
screaming inside of the theatre.
Unfortunately, the movie did not
show the drama and excitement
you expected because it did not
have any mystery. In other words,
the movie was very predictable.
For example, in one scene
Quinn was knocking on her wall
to see if the cute boy from next
door was going to knock back.
Once he supposedly did, she
texted him to ask him where he
was. Not at home of course, it was
the evil spirit scaring her.
As for the film’s characters, Lin
Shaye was the powerful force of
the movie. If you know the literature term “round character,” you
will see that Shaye changed Elise
Rainer from a scared woman into
a brave, warrior who could surpass any “bad” spirits. Her great
acting was what kept me glued to
the screen.
Ultimately, it is best to not only
keep the same cast from the first
two movies, but to also be aware
that if a movie is going to be classified as horror, then it must carry
the qualities tied to the scream.

SeaWorld Parks honor
World Oceans Day
By Keanna Whisenhunt
SeaWorld San Antonio will
join with SeaWorld Orlando
and SeaWorld San Diego in
celebrating World Oceans Day
on Monday, June 8.
This year’s celebration will
kick off a new theme: Healthy
oceans, healthy planet. This slogan will unite millions in taking
action in the fight to prevent and
reduce plastic pollution. With the
use of the “better bag challenge”,
employees of SeaWorld Parks
and volunteers will encourage
others to take the pledge to use
reusable bags in lieu of disposables for an entire year. This will
decrease the amount of plastic
bags found in oceans and better
protect animals that live in the
ocean from the dangers of plastic
pollution. SeaWorld Parks have
already begun taking steps to
reduce pollution by using only
100 percent recycled paper bags.
In 1992, the Canadian government introduced a proposal for
the concept of World Oceans
Day. This plan initiated an urgency to officially declare June
8 as World Oceans Day. As the
leading promoter and coordinator of this global event, the
World Oceans Project organization sparked a petition in 2002
to the United Nations. With the
help of partnerships and thousands of petition signatures from
supporters, the World Oceans
Project succeeded in making the
day one to celebrate, honor, and
encourage the efforts of organizations and people all around the
world who take a stand in making the heart of our planet better.
Organizations from all over
are joining in on the fun of edu-
cating others about the dangers
of pollution and encouraging
them to join the global “better
bag challenge.” The Smithsonian Museum in Washington
D.C., the San Antonio Zoo,
Terra Nova National Park in
Newfoundland , Canada, and
The Blue Ocean Business Summit in Illinois, are just a few
of the many organizations that
will unite to make our oceans
cleaner, and safer for humans
and animals. SeaWorld San
Antonio will provide activities
where guests can meet education specialists and SeaWorld
Rescue team members to learn
more about how to help keep
oceans clean.

World Oceans Day and the activities taking place at SeaWorld
Park San Antonio please visit
