Huelga de hambre por el
genocidio de Ayotzinapa
Por Roberto J. Pérez
[email protected]
Con motivo del primer aniver­
sario del secuestro y desaparición
de 41 estudiantes en la población
de Ayotzinapa, en el estado de
Guerrero (México), activistas
de organizaciones populares se
apostaron frente al Consulado
de México, en San Antonio, en
una protesta que alcanza atención
global, exigiendo al gobierno
mexicano que resuelva de una vez
por todas la masacre.
El jueves 24 de septiembre Es­
peranza Peace and Justice Center
coordinó la protesta e inició de esta
forma una huelga de hambre de 43
horas en diferentes localidades a la
que se unieron voluntarios de or­
ganizaciones laborales. Este movi­
miento ciudadano esta en conjun­
ción con protestas y manifiestos
de organizaciones de Derechos
Humanitarios en ciudades de la
Unión Americana y Europa.
El secuestro y desaparición de
los estudiantes sucedió el 26 de
septiembre del 2014 y atrajo la
atención mundial.
Por el momento se encuentran
presos los presuntos responsables,
a quienes la prensa de México los
califica como el “Matrimonio Di­
abólico”, formado por el Presiden­
te Municipal de Iguala (Gue­rrero),
José Luis Abarca Velázquez y
su esposa María de Los Ángeles
Pineda Villa, de quien se dice que
tiene nexos con el narcotráfico. La
hija de ambos se oculta para eludir
implicaciones y cerró su página en
Facebook.
Un mes después de los hechos
el matrimonio fue aprehendido
en la Ciudad de México cuando
planeaban huir a los Estados
Unidos, pretendiendo eludir su
complicidad en este delito en
contra de los jóvenes estudiantes
que eran alumnos de una escuela
rural para maestros en el pueblo
de Ayotzinapa.

por los estudiantes sacrificados en Ayotzinapa.
con la complicidad de su esposo,
es señalada de planear el secuestro
de los estudiantes a fin de impedir
que estos fueran a protestar a su
residencia cuando daba una fiesta
íntima con amigos personales.
Existe video de la fiesta que
tenía en Iguala, mientras que en
Ayotzinapa los estudiantes eran
acribillados.
En el atentado murieron instan­
táneamente 6 de los estudiantes
y los demás fueron secuestrados
para ser después victimados a
balazos y sus cuerpos incinerados
y arrojados a un río.
Las primeras investigaciones
y los medios de comunicación
de México establecen que el
grupo armado de narcotraficantes
“Guerreros Unidos” y la policía
municipal perpetraron el ataque a
dos autobuses de los estudiantes
cuando iban a viajar de Ayotzi­
napa a la ciudad de Iguala. Los

secuestraron a los restantes 43
alumnos.
En las primeras investigacio­
nes las autoridades mexicanas
encontraron bolsas de plástico
con restos humanos de algunos
de los desaparecidos, pero se
desconoce el paradero del resto
del plantel. Solamente los restos
de dos estudiantes han sido plena­
mente identificados por científicos
de la Universidad de Innsbruck,
Austria.
Como resultado de la masacre,
renunció el Gobernador de Gue­
rrero, Ángel Aguirre Rivero, y el
Jefe de la Policía de Iguala, Felipe
Flores Velázquez.
Uno de los principales sos­
pechosos del crimen se encuentra
prófugo, existiendo la posibilidad
de que se encuentre oculto en los
Estados Unidos.
La policía federal arrestó a 88
personas como responsables del
atentado, de ellos 44 eran policías
de la ciudad de Iguala.

Upon taking up his former post,
law enforcement veteran William
McManus returned to his calling.
Recently, City Manager Sheryl
Sculley announced that McManus
was hired as the San Antonio
Police Chief. This is a position
that McManus is very familiar
with before becoming the senior
director of Security at City Public
Services (CPS).
Although McManus retired
from the San Antonio Police
Department (SAPD) back in
December of 2014, he decided to
reach out to the City Manager and
expressed an interest to return to
his old job.
In order to regain the opening,
McManus had to go through a
regimen of interviews as well

LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO
Comentarios... El papa pecador
“Soy un pe­
cador. Así se
definió el papa
Francisco du­
rante una en­
trevista a La
Jorge Ramos C i v i l i t á C a t ­
tolica, una re­
vista jesuita, en el 2013. Y eso
lo acerca a todos nosotros. Por
eso, seamos creyentes o no, el
papa nos cae bien.
Francisco, contrario a otros
pontífices de la iglesia católica,
no se presenta como un ser su­
perior e inalcanzable. Presentar
al papa como una especie de
supermán, como una estrella,
es algo ofensivo para mí, dijo
en otra entrevista al diario Cor­
riere della Sera en el 2014. Si es
cierto que Dios habla a través de
él, un acto de fe para los católi­
cos del mundo, eso es algo de
lo que no presume.
Cuando Jorge Bergoglio fue
elegido papa el 13 de marzo del
2013, yo estaba en la India y vi
por televisión el histórico mo­
mento. Primer latinoamericano,
primer jesuita, primer líder de
la iglesia cuyo idioma materno
es el español. Pero cuando salió
a la plaza de San Pedro habló
poco, sus ojos todavía deno­
taban sorpresa y parecía muy
tímido. Era como si se pregun­
tara ¿qué hago yo en este lugar?
Pronto supimos que, efecti­
vamente, se trataba de un papa
distinto. No quiso vivir en el Pa­
lacio Apostólico, como la mayo­
ría de los papas desde el siglo
14, sino en la Casa Santa Marta,
austero recinto para huéspedes.
Se mueve en Roma en un Ford
Focus azul, no usa los ridículos
zapatos rojos, no lleva chaleco
antibalas en público, abraza a
los feligreses en la calle y se
toma selfies con adolescentes.
Es el primer papa que con­
cede entrevistas. La tradición
asegura que el papa es infalible.
Sin embargo, a Francisco no le
preocupa ser cuestionado. Por
lo tanto aceptó hablar con una
revista jesuita, con un diario
italiano y con los periodistas
de la televisión Henrique Cy­
merman, Valentina Alazraki y
David Muir.
Este es un papa que no teme a
equivocarse e, incluso, a debatir
la inflexible doctrina de la igle­
sia. ¿Quién soy yo para juzgar?,
dijo sobre los homosexuales
ante la prensa en su vuelo de
regreso de Brasil.
Pero, este es el problema con
el papa Francisco: su humil­
dad, su sencillez y su accesibi­
lidad no significa que vaya a
modificar a fondo la doctrina
católica para 1,200 millones de
creyentes. El papa Francisco
no es un rebelde radical. Sus
cambios son solo de estilo, no
de sustancia.
El papa Francisco apoya la
rápida y gratuita anulación de
matrimonios religiosos. Ese es
un cambio mínimo. También
ha permitido que divorciados
y mujeres que han abortado se
acerquen a la iglesia. Pero en su
viaje a Cuba y Estados Unidos,
no irá más lejos. No quiere. Y
no puede.
A pesar de presentarse como
un papa abierto al cambio,
Francisco se niega a permitir
que las mujeres ejerzan el
sacerdocio, rehúsa levantar la
prohibición del celibato a pa­
dres, rechaza contundentemente
el matrimonio gay, el aborto y
ni siquiera aprueba el uso de
anticonceptivos. Y en su lucha
contra el abuso sexual dentro
de la iglesia, es cierto que el
papa Francisco, contrario a sus
dos predecesores, Juan Pablo II
y Benedicto XVI, ha impuesto
la política de cero tolerancia
en contra de sacerdotes pedó­
filos. Pero sigue siendo muy
tibio y permisivo con obispos,
arzobispos y cardenales que en­
cubrieron esos crímenes contra
niños durante décadas. Muchos
de ellos siguen en sus puestos.
Así es la justicia divina.
A pesar de todo lo anterior,
es admirable la libertad y es­
pontaneidad con la que habla
el papa Francisco. Eso es algo
que, aparentemente, aprendió
tras su difícil y doloroso paso
como Superior Provincial de la
Compañía de Jesús en Argentina
durante la guerra sucia (19761983). Bergoglio, como muchos
otros líderes religiosos de la
época, intentó ayudar en silen­
cio y en privado a las víctimas
de la dictadura, pero no desafió
públicamente a las autoridades.
Esa experiencia lo marcó. Hoy
parece no guardarse nada. Tuve
que aprender de mis errores
porque, la verdad, he cometido
cientos de errores; errores y pe­
cados, ” dijo Bergoglio sobre su
experiencia como líder religioso
en esa época (en una entrevista
que recoge Paul Vallely en su
libro sobre el papa).
Pero el papa también está
viendo al futuro y se está pre­
parando para entregar el poder.
Tiene 78 años, lo impresionó
mucho la renuncia de Bene­
dicto XVI y ya busca quien lo
reemplace.
¿Quién podría ser? De los 39
cardenales que ha designado
durante su papado, 24 no son
europeos. En uno de sus pocos
actos carentes de humildad, el
papa pecador está buscando a
un sucesor muy parecido a él.
Por definición, no hay pecador
perfecto.

Just a Thought: Artist Lionel Sosa
For the last
two weeks,
the local
Hispanic
community
and the en­
tire City of
San Antonio
Steve Walker h a v e b e e n
celebrating
National Hispanic Heritage
Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15).
Fresh off the Diez Y Seis Pa­
rade on the Westside that drew
thousands of excited parade
watchers and participants, plus
the forty-first birthday party of
the Castro twins at Sunset Sta­
tion, it has been exciting.
During September through
mid-October, we recognize the
contributions and important
presence of Hispanic and La­
tino Americans in the United
States, especially in the Alamo
City. Locally, we celebrate the
rich heritage and culture that is
so prevalent here, anytime we
are given the opportunity.
As part of the national cel­
ebration, an art exhibit en­
titled “Windows to the Soul,”
featured the artwork of local
Hispanic icon Lionel Sosa at
St. Philip’s College on Sept. 17.
The portrait exhibit was
well-received by the students
in attendance for the formal
presentation. As an adjunct
instructor at St. Philip’s, I was
thrilled to bring my class of
medical assistants and also take
photos of the event. Over the
years, I have had the privilege
of covering Lionel Sosa at
community events, as well as
political events.
Before the official presenta­
tion kicked off, I spent a few
minutes visiting with Mr. Sosa
reminiscing about those times
photographing him in February
this past year at the Hispanic
Chamber Gala.
As I initially approached
him, he quickly recognized me
and grabbed my hand to shake
it. It was like earlier times. He
thanked me for those times and
said he was thrilled to know I
was going take photos of his
paintings.
Various classes of college
campus students, faculty mem­
bers and staff crowded into the
exhibit hall in the Watson Fine
Arts Center, Kathy Morgan
Gallery, for a short presenta­
tion of his work. He posed for
students taking selfies, group
pictures and individual photos.
My students were no exception
as he readily posed with them
as a group and as individuals.
Truly, he is a gracious man.
Sosa is the author of “Think
and Grow Rich, A Latino
Choice,” published in 2006
by Random House, and “The
Americano Dream: How La­
tinos Can Achieve Success in
Business and in Life,” pub­
lished in 1998 by Dutton Pub­
lishing.
Founder of Sosa, Bromley,
Aguilar & Associates, now,
Bromley Communications,
Sosa is an expert in Hispanic
consumer and voter behavior,
education and achievement.
Serving as a media consul­
tant for President George W.
Bush in the 2000 and 2004
campaigns, he has been a His­
panic media consultant in six
Republican presidential cam­
paigns since 1980.
Sosa was named “One of the
25 Most Influential Hispanics
in America” by Time Magazine
in July 2005 and is a member
of the Texas Business Hall of
Fame. In spring 2001, he was
named a fellow at the Institute
of Politics at Harvard Univer­
sity.
Most recently, he was award­
ed the Lifetime Achievement
Award from the National Asso­
ciation of Hispanic Journalists.
I have taken photos of him at
the San Antonio Association of
Hispanic Journalists in previ­
ous years.
According to the recent Cen­
sus, 50.5 million people or 16
percent of the population are
of Hispanic or Latino origin.
This represents a significant
increase from 2000, which reg­
istered the Hispanic population
at 35.3 million or 13 percent of
the total U.S. population.
Lionel Sosa best exemplifies
the best of the Latino commu­
nity nationally and locally in
San Antonio. I was fortunate
to be at the opening of his
exhibit at St. Philip’s College
for National Hispanic Heritage
Month.
Anyway, as always, what I
write is “Just a Thought.”
Steve Walker is a Vietnam
Veteran, former Judge and
Journalist.
Promoting high-paying jobs for S.A.
Recently,
I joined the
San Antonio
Manufactur­
ing Associa­
tion, Port San
Lloyd Doggett Antonio and
UTSA in cel­
ebrating the official U.S. Com­
merce Department designation
of the Alamo Manufacturing
Partnership as a “Manufactur­
ing Community.” Why is this
designation that I worked with
others to achieve so important?
Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
This designation seeks to pro­
mote manufacturing locally in a
few cities across America that
are already helping themselves
and have the potential to expand
manufacturing even more. The
goal is to concentrate limited
federal dollars in communities
that demonstrate they are up to
the challenge--those who can
make assistance go the farthest.
The Alamo Manufacturing
Partnership has now become
the one and only in Texas to be
so recognized. Next month, I
am welcoming the partnership
to Washington for meetings to
discuss opportunities.
We have the technology, the
business leaders, and the local
universities and colleges that
are preparing our students for
the high-skilled, high-paying
jobs that manufacturing offers.
To continue expanding manu­
facturing jobs in San Antonio,
like the 200 more jobs recently
announced by Toyota, we need
to expand our skilled workforce
by ensuring strong support
for education, from Pre-K to
post-grad. Opening more doors
to students seeking post-high
school educational opportuni­
ties, whether in manufacturing
internships or college, will en­
sure we can keep opening new
opportunities in manufacturing
jobs.
We need to ensure that lo­
cal businesses have the tools
they need to compete globally.
We should focus on what can
be done to expand America’s
manufacturing sector, includ­
ing promoting innovation and
www.LaPrensaSA.com
research, better connections be­
tween educators and employers
and strengthening infrastructure
to move goods to market more
efficiently. This will ensure we
create jobs that allow one to
comfortably support a family.
I also recently met with Tech
Bloc. It is important that our
focus on manufacturing goes
beyond the traditional defini­
tion of manufacturing. There are
some small tech manufacturing
companies here. Rackspace
in Windcrest, with a back-up
office in Austin connected via
bus, shows that San Antonio and
Austin can grow together, draw­
ing from each other’s strengths.
High-quality jobs are the
result of planning. This des­
ignation can help bring more
federal support locally to boost
job training and encourage more
manufactures to call San Anto­
nio home.

Free rides available
to veterans in
Alamo community
Special to La Prensa
The free ride program “Alamo
Call-A-Ride 4 Vets” is here
to support veteran and veteran
family members in the Alamo
community.
As transportation can be a chal­
lenging barrier for many veterans,
spouses, and veteran widows
and widowers in accessing ben­
efits and services in the Alamo
region, the Alamo Area Council
of Governments (AACOG) has
partnered with the Texas Veterans
Commission to provide free rides
to veterans and their immediate
family members.
The program is available to
veterans (of any age and income)
and their spouses throughout
the 13-county AACOG region,
including Atascosa, Bandera,
Bexar, Comal, Frio, Gillespie,
Guadalupe, Karnes, Kendall,
Kerr, McMullen, Medina, and
Wilson Counties. The rides can
be used for a variety of purposes,
like grocery shopping, medical
appointments, prescription pickups, visiting government offices,
job interviews, laundry mats, or
to visit a friend or relative. A five
to seven day notice is normally
required to schedule rides after
registering.
LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO Huellas del papa Francisco
Por Humberto Caspa
Las huellas del papa Francisco
son indisolubles, inconfundibles
y propias de un hombre de bien.
A inicios de este año sus huellas
sembraron esperanza en Ecuador
y Bolivia. Los cubanos acaban de
sentir el poder de su mensaje de
paz y amistad.
Hoy, en medio de una retórica
intolerante de algunos candida­
tos a la presidencia, la humildad
del discurso del papa ya se hizo
sentir en las más altas esferas de
la política. Tanto demócratas y
republicanos están preocupados,
tal vez de miedo, por el hecho de
que el papa Francisco no tiene
problemas en señalar las cosas
por su nombre.
Esperemos que Donald Trump
no se le ocurra criticarlo o insul­
tarlo. Sería el fin de su campaña
política. Y esperemos también que
a Ben Carson, otro de los candida­
tos republicanos que discrimi­na,
no se le ocurra manifestar que
Donna Teall, a United States
Air Force Veteran and the Vet­
eran Lead Specialist for the pro­
gram states, “We also get ques­
tions about why veterans should
register if a veteran has a car and
doesn’t need rides. Veterans who
register can then donate their
unused rides to fellow vets! Also,
they may need transportation in
the future. Registering allows
riders to easily utilize the ride
program when other transporta­
tion (car breakdown, relative out
of town, etc.) is not available.
There are no forms to fill out and
the registration process is very
easy!”
For more information, email
[email protected] or call:
toll-free (800) 960-5201. The
program’s goal is to provide
3,000 veterans and family mem­
bers with transportation and other
benefit assistance throughout the
AACOG 13-county region. We
are eager and available to accept
veteran applicants! This program
is supported by a grant from the
Texas Veterans Commission
“Fund for Veterans’ Assistance”.
The “Fund for Veterans’ Assis­
tance” provides grants to organi­
zations serving veterans and their
families. For more information

un católico no tiene derecho de
llegar a la presidencia, tal como
indicó recientemente con relación
a los islámicos. “El presidente no
debería ser islámico”, dijo.
A su llega a nuestro país, espe­
cíficamente en su discurso en la
Casa Blanca, el papa Francisco
fue muy claro en torno al fenó­
meno de la discriminación que
afecta a la comunidad latina y
otras étnicas minoritarias.
“Señor presidente, junto con
su pueblo, los católicos (la po­
blación latina) de este país están
comprometidos en crear una
sociedad que es incluyente y
tolerante para resguardar los
derechos individuales y de las
comunidades, rechazando toda
forma de discriminación injusta”.
Como dice el dicho: al que le
caiga el guante que se lo chante.
El papa Francisco nunca va a
mencionar los nombres de aque­
llas personas que se atreven a
violar los derechos de las per­
sonas, ni mucho menos los va a
señalar con el dedo. Sin embargo,
se sabe que los referidos son
Donald Trump y aquellos grupos
e individuos que han demostrado
no tener resguardos políticos
para etiquetar a los migrantes de
América Latina como violadores
y delincuentes.
El papa también habló sobre la
libertad de la religión, pero nunca
hizo alusión de que el derecho
canónico debería sobreponerse
al derecho positivo o a la cons­
titución. De acuerdo a mi punto
de vista, las creencias religiosas

desarrollo económico sin con­

“Señor presidente, encuen­

proponiendo una iniciativa de
reducción de contaminantes en

cambio climático es un problema
que nosotros no podemos dejar a

Por supuesto que este mensaje
va especialmente hacia aquel sec­

Texas lawmakers join fight
for new federal courthouse
requests for federal courthouse
funding through the traditional
appropriations process, which
has most recently bumped San
Antonio down to the eighth prior­
ity on the list.
“It’s outrageous that some of
the most violent drug trafficking
and organized crime cases in
Texas are being tried in a 1960s
movie theatre. The building’s
shortcomings pose a serious
physical threat to the Federal
employees that work there and
the increasing numbers of civil­
ians that visit the adjacent play­
ground,” said Rep. Hurd. “The
way I see it, the current facility
puts the health and safety of San
Antonians at risk. Moving the
U.S. Federal Court proceedings
out of this dangerous and unse­
cure location is a public safety
priority.”
“The Wood Courthouse has
kept the Western District go­
ing for nearly 50 years, but it
unfortunately does not have the
capacity to support it any lon­
ger,” Congressman Cuellar said.
Congressman Cuellar contin­
ued as he expounded on the list
of needs of the current facility.
“The project to build a new
courthouse is deserving of emer­
gency appropriations because of
the building’s numerous prob­
lems: The building’s water qual­
ity, air quality, space, safety
and security issues go beyond
simple repairs, and I am calling
on Congress and the General
Services Administration (GSA)
to approve the construction of a
new courthouse immediately.”
The rides can be used for a variety of purposes, including grocery
shopping, medical appointments, visiting government offices, job
interviews or to visit a friend or relative. (Courtesy photo)

Senator Uresti names to
border security committee
Special to La Prensa
Senator Carlos Uresti was
named to the Joint Interim Com­
mittee to Study Border Security
by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
The committee, created by
House Bill 11 during the recent
84th Legislative Session, will
monitor the Department of Pub­
lic Safety border surge, and the
newly budgeted $800 million
appropriated to further secure
the Texas-Mexico border.
“As a Senator representing
over one-third of the TexasMexico border, I am motivated
to continue my work on border
security.” said Senator Carlos
Uresti
“Last year, we spent $124
million in a hurry, and I think
there are some questions sur­
rounding what exactly we got
for our money,” said Sen. Ur­
esti. “I want to closely monitor
the spending of the next $800
million, and report back to my
constituents that the money was
used wisely, and be in a position
to say exactly what we accom­
plished.”
“I have great confidence in our
DPS troopers, and I think we’re
finding that if we would make
some investments in local law
enforcement while we ramp up
DPS on the border, we can not
only improve border security,
but have a strong long-term in­
frastructure in place before the
state investment runs dry. I look
forward to studying this further
as a member of the committee,”
said Sen. Uresti.

Alamo Colleges recognized with HEED Award for Diversity
Special to La Prensa
The Alamo Colleges is one of
only six higher education institu­
tions in Texas selected to receive
the 2015 Higher Education Excel­
lence in Diversity (HEED) Award
from “INSIGHT Into Diversity”
magazine, the oldest and largest
diversity-focused publication in
higher education.
As a recipient of the annual
HEED Award - a national honor
recognizing U.S. colleges and
universities that demonstrate
an outstanding commitment to
diversity and inclusion - Alamo
Colleges will be featured, along
with 91 other recipients, in the
November 2015 issue of “IN­
SIGHT Into Diversity” magazine.
“This national recognition is
an important affirmation of our
success in achieving our mis­
sion of “empowering our diverse
communities for success,” said
Alamo Colleges Chancellor Dr.
Bruce Leslie. “Our primary goal
as an organization is to provide an
environment that ensures equity
in educational achievement for
all students and professional op­
portunity for all employees and I
am proud that our commitment to
equity has been nationally recog­
nized,” he added.
Lenore Pearlstein, publisher
of “INSIGHT Into Diversity”
magazine, acknowledged that
the HEED award is a significant
accomplishment for a college or
university.
“The HEED Award process
consists of a comprehensive and
rigorous application that includes
questions relating to the recruit­
ment and retention of students and
employees - and best practices
for both - continued leadership
support for diversity, and other
aspects of campus diversity and
inclusion. Our standards are high,
and we look for institutions where
diversity and inclusion are woven
into the work being accomplished
every day across a campus,” she
said.
In addition to its diverse stu­
dent population - 57.9 percent
Hispanic; 29.6 percent White;
and 6.2 percent African American
- the Alamo Colleges also offers
unique programs to benefit mi­
nority and underserved students.
These include the Alamo Acad­
emies, which annually provides
access to more than 300 primarily
minority students, 71 percent,
to train for science, technology,
engineering and math careers. A
total of 60 percent of these stu­
dents graduate with a degree or
certificate within two years.
Another program, the I-BEST
initiative, provides training and
employment assistance to stu­
dents who require basic skill de­
velopment in order to succeed in
technical training. Program par­
ticipants are 85 percent Hispanic
and 13 percent African American,
with 46 percent living at or below
the poverty level. The program
has an 86 percent completion or
retention rate, with 76 percent of
graduates employed in their field
after completion.
Other initiatives help create
an environment for minority stu­
dents to be successful, including
the Student Leadership Institute
(SLI), which has recruited and
trained over 700 students to be­
come leaders on campus, in the
workplace and in the community.
The HEED award is the second
national recognition for diversity,
which the Alamo Colleges has
received. In 2013, the Alamo
Colleges was honored with the
Association of Community Col­
lege Trustees 2013 Charles Ken­
nedy Equity Award, which rec­
ognizes exemplary commitment
to achieve equity in a college’s
education programs and services.
The Alamo Colleges also re­
ceived the 2010 Diversity FIRST
award from the Texas Diversity
Council, the Owner of the Year
award from the Hispanic Contrac­
tor’s Association de San Antonio
in 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the
General Contractor of the Year
award from the same organiza­
tion in 2012.

Wednesday morning.
Gina Dawson, coordinator of
the event and physical therapy
supervisor at Methodist Ambu­
latory Surgery Center, said the
main goal of the event was to
increase awareness on fall pre­
vention.
“Many of the admissions to the
Methodist ER Department are
caused by preventable falls so we
identified that this was something
going on in our community and
we needed to be proactive about
it,” Dawson told La Prensa.
According to Centers for Dis­
ease and Prevention (CDC), one
out of five falls causes a serious
injury such as broken bones or a
head injury. Moreover, CDC data
shows that more than 95 percent
of hip fractures are caused by
falling.
“If we can prevent falls, we can
prevent injuries,” Chief Execu­
tive Officer of Methodist Texsan
Hospital Scott Davis told La
Prensa. “60 to 70 percent of falls
are preventable, so really if you
think about that, that’s a lot of
injuries that we could avoid from
happening.”
The fair featured a tai chi
demonstration as well as a line
dancing demonstration, physical
therapists conducted free fall
risk assessments, vision exams
were given and personnel from
Home Depot demonstrated home
modifications that can lower the
risk of falls.
Additionally, Dawson dis­
cussed the six tips the National
Council on Aging recommends
to help prevent falls.
The first tip involves finding an
exercise program that builds bal­
ance, strength and flexibility. The
CDC ranks Tai Chi as the number
one fall prevention exercise.
If performing an exercise is
too much of a struggle, Dawson
recommends standing up and
sitting back down a total of three
times every time you move to a
new seat.
“I guarantee you are going to
build your legs and your thigh
muscles and that is really neces­
sary for maintaining your bal­
ance,” Dawson said.
She also advices looking into
exercise and balance classes of­
fered in the community.
“The only way you are going
to stick with it is if you enjoy that
exercise, it needs to be something
you like,” Dawson said. “Try to
take a friend with you so you can
encourage each other.”
As a second tip, the National
Council on Aging recommends
talking to your health care pro­
vider and asking for an assess­
ment of your risk of falling.
“If they don’t ask if you’ve
fallen in the last year, you need
to provide that information,”
Dawson said.
CDC data shows that one in
three older people fall each year,
but less than half tell their doc­
tor. Research shows that falling
once doubles your chances of
falling again.
“Perhaps your blood pressure
isn’t under control, maybe your
diabetes blood sugar isn’t quite
right, perhaps you’re starting
some neurological orthopedic
problems,” Dawson said. “Those
things need to be evaluated by
your physician and you need to
make sure you are on top of those
things.”
As a third rule, the National
Council on Aging recommends
regularly reviewing your medi­
cations with your doctor and
pharmacist.
“Look at the label, if it says
anything about being drowsy, you
need to be aware that it is going
to make you drowsy,” Dawson
advised.
This could especially represent
a problem if you take the medica­
tion at night with water and have
to get up in the middle of the
night to use the bathroom.
“I recommend that you sit for a
moment, evaluate yourself, stand
for a moment and make sure
you feel okay before you start
taking those steps to go to the
bathroom,” Dawson said.
The fourth tip involves getting
your vision and hearing checked
annually. Your eyes and ears
are imperative when it comes to
keeping your balance.
“If you’re using glasses that
have bifocals built in, be aware
that those will cause falls if
you’re looking down through the
bifocal portion,” Dawson said.
Tip number five involves keep
your home safe. The National
Council on Aging recommends
removing trip hazards, increasing
lighting, making stairs safe and
installing grab bars in key areas.
“Increasing senior indepen­
dence and maintaining their dig­
nity is key because people want
to age in place,” Dawson said.
As one last tip, the council
recommends talking to your fam­
ily and enlisting their support in
taking simple steps to stay safe.
Methodist Healthcare will be
offering “A Matter of Balance”
classes, which discuss the fear of
falling with seniors and teaches
them how to prevent falls. For

El alcoholismo sigue
ganando la batalla
Por José I. Franco
[email protected]
Cada día va en aumento el
consumo desmedido de bebidas
embriagantes en la región de El
Álamo. Las calles y carreteras se
siguen tiñendo de sangre porque
conductores en estado de ebriedad
causan irreparables pérdidas tras
verse involucrados en accidentes,
en los que como resultado se
pierden vidas de personas ino­
centes, o personas que resultan
gravemente heridas.
Los programas de seguridad
vial se han aplicado con severidad,
sin embargo, no ha resultado su­
ficiente para poder cuando menos
darle una tregua a la batalla para
erradicar el alcoholismo, princi­
palmente entre las personas que no
miden las consecuencias cuando
conducen en estado de ebriedad o
bajo los efectos de drogas legales
e ilegales.
En lo personal, yo fui uno de
esos individuos que gustaba con­
ducir en estado inconveniente,
poniendo en riesgo la vida de
personas inocentes, entre ellas a
mi propia familia. Lo mejor fue
que a la edad de 45 años pude
ver la luz y de una vez por todas
dejé la bebida. Me entregué a
un costoso y duro programa de
rehabilitación, lo cual en varias
ocasiones lo he remarcado en esta
sección de salud.
Con 16 años de sobriedad, en
este testimonio, indicaré sucesos
recientes que he presenciado,
visto y escuchado en los medios
informativos, todos con temas en
los que las bebidas alcohólicas y
drogas han sido el factor de riesgos
en la salud y arrestos.
El alcoholismo no respeta fuero,
profesión o distinciones sociales.
Es una adicción sin cura, pero no
imposible por contenerla siguien­
do programas de rehabilitación y
amor a nuestras familias.
En este espacio aprovecharé
para contarles, a mis tres lectores,
sobre incidentes en los que se han
visto envueltos agentes del orden.
Así como hombres y mujeres de
diferentes edades que después de
un arduo día de trabajo buscan
erró­neamente en el licor una forma
de relajarse.
El pasado fin de semana en­
contrándome en una gasolinera,
ubicada en el sector de la autopista
35 norte y la avenida O’Connor, en
los momentos de pagarle al cajero
por la gasolina que iba a servir en
mi vagoneta, tenía detrás de mí, a
corta distancia, a un joven mayor
de 21 años.
Él como que quería sacarme
plática, tras haber pagado por
una cerveza de 17 onzas, la cual
depositó dentro de una bolsa de
plástico. Sin embargo, yo no le di
tiempo a entablar plática, ya que
al verlo con la cerveza en mano,
lo primero que pensé fue que él,
en cuanto entrase a su auto, iba a
comenzar a bebérsela.
Desde la bomba de gasolina,
lo observé destapar el bote de
cerveza, a lo cual quise ir a pre­
venirlo para que no encendiera su
auto y se fuera manejando ya con
olor alcohólico, pero al notar que
la placa trasera de su mini auto no
era del estado de Texas, sino del
estado de Puebla, México, pensé
de inmediato que no valía la pena.
Me podría meter en problemas
por querer ponerlo al tanto sobre el
riesgo que estaría corriendo mane­
jando en posesión de una lata de
cerveza abierta (open container),
lo cual es un delito menor casti­
gado con seis meses de sentencia
probatoria y una multa de más de
800 dólares.
Pero como él conducía un au­

de ser sorprendido por las autori­
dades, prácticamente le sería dene­

El alcoholismo...
juzgado por el delito menor del
open container y, posteriormente
ser deportado, perdiendo de inme­
diato su visa de turista.
En fin, me abstuve de ponerlo
al tanto y me dediqué a observar
cómo salían otras personas de la
mencionada tienda de auto ser­
vicio, todas ellas en posesión de
bebidas de contenido alcohólico.
Una chica obviamente mayor
de edad llevaba con ella cuatro
botellas pequeñas de vino y dos
amigos sonreían mientras acari­
ciaban sus respectivas botellas de
licor de malta, lo cual es un tipo de
cerveza bastante fuerte por su alto
contenido de grados de alcohol,
además de ser la preferida por
individuos que ya están arraigados
en el alcoholismo.
De ahí me fui a un restaurante
que ofrece el especial de la hora
feliz, en la que los parroquianos
(clientes de ambos sexos) gustan
de tomarse las bebidas que más
puedan en un periodo de dos
horas, en las que también tienen
que consumir comida preparada de
acuerdo a sus respectivos gustos.
Claro que ninguno de ellos
le faltó el respeto a los demás
comensales, ya que cada uno de
ellos (as) solo se dedicó a beber,
sonreír y checar continuamente su
respectivo teléfono móvil, lo cual
es la nueva onda en la tecnología
moderna.
Ninguno de ellos, por razones
obvias, podría percatarse que entre
más alcohol que consumían, su
nivel de alcohol en la sangre iba en
aumento, mucho menos tener en
mente de lo que les podría deparar
cuando la “Happy Hour” conclu­
yera y tuvieran que abandonar el
lugar para irse a sus respectivas
casas, o a seguir la juerga en otro
LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO

sitio donde se expenden bebidas
alcohólicas, dejándolo todo a su
suerte y destino.
Por mi parte, hice oración para
que todos ellos retornaran con bien
a sus respectivos hogares. Oración
que hago todos los días cuando
salgo a la calle y tengo acceso a
la autopista que me conduce a mi
fuente de empleo. Los accidentes
me frustran y más cuando se
causan por conducir a exceso de
velocidad o irresponsablemente.
Por existir tolerancia cero en
la región del condado de Bexar,
cuya cabecera es la ciudad de
San Antonio, autoridades siguen
manteniendo un estrecho sistema
de vigilancia las 24 horas del día
y 7 días de la semana.
El alcoholismo no respeta auto­
ridad alguna. Mediante el noti­ciero
matutino me enteré sobre el arresto
de un agente de la oficina del sheri­
25th Annual

Health & Safety Fair
fato del condado de Bexar, quien
fuera de su horario de trabajo,
tuvo, la mala fortuna de echarse
unas cuantas copas y luego estrel­
lar su veloz unidad en un sector de
la autopista 35.
Con la detención del agente que
presuntamente iba en estado de
ebriedad, de acuerdo al noticiero
KABB, se dijo que en la actua­
lidad se suman cinco agentes del
sherifato que han sido detenidos
preventivamente por conducir
bajo los efectos de bebidas em­
briagantes.
Imaginen qué gran problema les
espera por resolver a esos cinco
individuos encargados (estando
de servicio) de cuidar el orden y
bienestar en nuestra comunidad.
Hace dos años, el departa­
mento del Sheriff del condado
de Bexar, a cargo de Susan Pa­
merleau, apoyó la iniciativa del
sindicado de agentes del sheriff
y de la empresa Yellow Cab de
San Antonio para proporcionar
educación y ayuda a los agentes y
sus familiares. Le iniciativa regaló
tarjetas pre-pagadas de los taxis
Yellow Cab para que cuando ellos
quisieran disfrutar de una fiesta y
consumir bebidas embriagantes,
pudieran conseguir los servicios
de la mencionada empresa de taxis
en lugar de tomar el volante.
El programa ha tenido éxito, de
acuerdo a directivos del sindicato,
ya que se tienen pruebas de que las
tarjetas han sido usadas y con ello
se ha cumplido con la meta de la
iniciativa apoyada por la honora­
ble Sheriff Pamerleau.
Las mismas tarjetas y progra­
mas educativos han sido distribui­
dos a los cadetes aspirantes a servir
en el Bexar County Sheriff Depart­
ment. De acuerdo a la titular, en la
agencia que ella dirige no existen
favoritismos y se trata de prevenir
acontecimientos que denigren
dicha institución policiaca.
Por otro lado me dio gusto de
enterarme que un conocido mío
que es entrenador y propietario de
un equipo de fútbol soccer, quien
tuvo problemas de alcoholismo y
drogas que lo llevaron a embron­
carse con el presidente del circuito
donde jugaba su equipo, tras haber
sido suspendido, en lugar de
parar en el consumo de bebidas
alcohólicas y consumo de drogas
ilegales, se adentró hasta que topó
con duro, encontrándose al punto
de la muerte.
Esto le llevó a ver la luz, so­
metiéndose a programa de desin­
toxicación el cual cumplió fa­
vorablemente, lo cual lo llevó
a retomar su condición física y
volver con su equipo al circuito
que lo vio convertirse en el equipo
a vencer conquistando un par de
campeonatos consecutivos en el
balompié independiente regional.
Al menos esa fue una de las me­
jores notas que logré ver la pasada
semana. Quienes tienen problemas
de alcoholismo, recuerden que
nunca es tarde para buscar ayuda,
háganlo a tiempo. Visiten a su doc­
tor de cabecera, él les dará ayuda
inicial. Hasta la próxima D.M.

NYC
Championship
dream lives
By Jessica Duran
[email protected]
New York City has not had
a lot to root for these past few
years, except of course the Yankees. The city that never sleeps
lost even more sleep when their
teams like the Giants, Jets,
Knicks, and Liberty all having
down seasons.
Having a rough patch is common is normal for teams and the
city, unless you’re a Chicago
Cubs fan or Cleveland Browns
fan. Just kidding, guys. Look at
what the Red Sox did 10 years
ago, you guys will get there.
But for New York City, fans
have the spirit of champions.
All of this has been true until
this past year. The Yankees are
on top of the American League
Division, of course, but the
Jets are finally looking like the
good ol’ Joe Namath 1960’s
Jets. And now, even basketball
championship dreams are alive
again in the Big Apple.
Sorry Knicks fans, I don’t
mean your team, I mean the
New York Liberty from the
WNBA.
The Liberty have taken the
league by storm this past summer and on their way to a
WNBA Championship. Under
the coaching of former Pistons
forward and “Bad Boys” member Bill Laimbeer. They look to
take over the league.
Playing in the Eastern Conference Championship this
week, all the need to do is get
by the Indiana Fever. Laimbeer
has won three WNBA Championships with the Detroit Shock.
WNBA veterans Tina Charles
and Swin Cash lead the young
Liberty team against Indiana.
Beating opponents every other
game by a margin of 20 points
show how dominant they are in
this league.
If the Liberty wants to make
NYC proud, they have to win
the conference on Sunday, then
face either the Phoenix Mercury
or the Minnesota Lynx from the
Western Conference to finally
give their city a championship
in this century besides a baseball World Series trophy.

McCown to start over Manziel
Colts have had bad Luck
Last Sunday, Johnny Manziel threw for two
touchdowns and zero interceptions, but more
importantly the victory. So that would only
mean that he would start against the Raiders, right? Wrong, Josh McCown has been
named starting quarterback. Manziel shared
his thoughts on the decision “I think I took
it all right, but it’s obviously disappointing,”
Manziel said.
The Indianapolis Colts were supposed to have
one of the most lethal offenses in the game.
T.Y. Hilton, Andre Johnson, Frank Gore and
Dwayne Allen were all led by quarterback
Andrew Luck. In their first two games, they
have scored a total of 21 points complemented
with eight turnovers. Can the Colts regroup
and make a run? Yes. Will they? That question can be answered in the following weeks.
Yankee legend remembered as one of the greats
By Kristian Jaime
[email protected]
When Hall of Famer and iconic
Yankee Yogi Berra passed away at
90 years-old, it was more than just
the baseball world that lost a giant.
The fixture at Yankees Spring
Camp became more than a familiar face. He quickly emerged as a
confidant to the likes of shortstop
Derek Jeter and manager Joe Girardi. It could even be said that he
was a reminder of the days of old
when the boys in the Bronx were
larger than baseball itself.
“I don’t think you will ever see
a player have the success that Yogi
had,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “The closest that we have
seen in sports today is Michael
Jordan, is the six in eight years, but
it is not going to happen.”
Berra’s résumé is so prolific,
it seems fabricated. Yet it speaks
to the dominance New York had
for what seemed like decades. A
perennial powerhouse, they were
the class of the American League
and everyone had to agree.
For the generation that saw lineups that included Berra with Phil
Rizzuto, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey
Mantle and Don Larsen just to
name a few, the classic pinstripe
uniforms meant more than a sports
team—it defined New York City
itself.
It seems inconceivable in modern baseball times that anyone
could be a 10-time World Series
champion or a 15-time all-star for
consecutive years. For that matter, imagining a catcher that was
almost automatic at the plat as well
seems downright unfair.
His .285 batting average along
with his 358 homeruns and 1,430
RBIs is enviable in its own right.
So it was no surprise that he was
elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.
Even after his playing days were
over, he switched to the role of
manager for both the Yankees and
Mets following the 1962 season.
After tumultuous times with the
late George Steinbrenner, owner
of the Yankees, the two sides made
up and began the golden period of
mentorship Berra had with younger players and as an ambassador of
the sport across the world.
“I always thought I was talking
to my grandfather,” Girardi continued. “I just felt comfortable. I
almost felt like he was going to
pull something out of his pocket,
like a piece of licorice and all that
sort of thing. It was always a joy
to be around him.”
Even opposing players saw
the spark that Berra brought to
any club and admired his later
contributions to the Major League
Baseball. Perhaps the best compliment any professional athlete can
receive is from fellow competitors.
“I know he’s now playing catch
with my dad up there,” said Hall
of Fame Cincinnati Reds catcher
Johnny Bench.
As the baseball world reflects

and successful career in baseball as a player, manager and ambassador of the game. (Courtesy photo)
on what the World War II veteran
meant to the tradition of the game,
it becomes harder to separate the
player from the man. Often immortalized and never duplicated,
his role in retirement saw him in
the Yankees orbit again but also
at numerous events to promote the
national pastime.
“We were better because of him
and we’ll truly suffer his loss. But
we are so much better for what
he gave to the game and what he
meant to the game,” continued
Bench.
Contemporaries of Berra may
have only known him on the periphery of their career, but that is
not to say he did not leave an indelible impression. Don Mattingly,
former Yankee and current manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers
aptly put into words why the ball
parks across the country are little
blue today.
“I think people had it right,”
he said. “The reason he was so
beloved, it wasn’t really about his
career even though he was a great,
great player. It was about what
a great person he was, the way
he treated people, how humble,
sincere, kind he was to people.
That’s really what defined him,
and I think it’s why he’s touched
so many peoples’ lives.”

The University of Texas MD
Anderson Cancer Center heads to
San Antonio Oct. 13 for the sixth annual “A Conversation With a Living
Legend” honoring Pro Football Hall
of Fame member and “Dancing with
the Stars” champion Emmitt Smith.
The luncheon and program will
be held at the Marriott Rivercenter,
101 Bowie St., from 11:30 a.m. to
1:30 p.m. Sean Elliott, full-time
color commentator for the San
Antonio Spurs, will interview the
renowned football star, respected
entrepreneur and best-selling author
in what promises to be an unforgettable afternoon. The luncheon will
benefit MD Anderson’s Moon Shots
Program, a comprehensive, accelerated effort to rapidly reduce cancer
deaths and transform cancer care.
Returning chairs Sonya Medina Williams and Gene Williams
spearhead a volunteer committee
of community and business leaders
from across San Antonio. They have
secured several major sponsors at
the $25,000 level, including Lewis
Energy Group, Mays Family Foundation and McCombs Foundation.
Silver Eagle Distributors also serves
as a significant sponsor, contributing
$15,000 to the cause.
Peggy and Lowry Mays and
Charline and Red McCombs return
as the event’s honorary chairs, while
Kim and Clyde Johnson IV and
Paula and Clyde Johnson III return
to serve as founding chairs.
Smith is one of the most valuable
brands in the sports entertainment
field. He rose to prominence via an
illustrious football career, which
included three Super Bowl championships as a member of the Dallas
Cowboys and the honor of being
the only player to have won a Super
Bowl MVP, NFL MVP and NFL
Rushing Crown in the same season.
Smith was inducted into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame as part of the
Class of 2010 and is the NFL’s alltime leading rusher, having amassed
18,355 yards during his 15 seasons.
His charm and charisma, which
made him one of the sports world’s
most popular personalities during
his playing career, quickly translated
to the entertainment world following his retirement.
In 2006, Smith’s crossover appeal
became even more apparent when
he, along with dance partner Cheryl
Burke, was crowned winner of the
hit ABC reality show “Dancing
with the Stars.” As president and
CEO of Emmitt Smith Enterprises
Inc., Smith leads a team of talented
people who oversee the company’s
many ventures, including Pat &
Emmitt Smith Charities, an organization that annually awards college
scholarships and provides enrichment opportunities to underserved
youths.
Sean Elliott played for the San
Antonio Spurs for all but one season
from 1989 to 2001 and made his
way onto several franchise records
lists, including the most threepointers made. The 6’8” forward
was drafted third overall out of The
University of Arizona, made two
All-Star teams and played in the
Spurs’ 1999 championship NBA
Finals.
Elliott is widely known for the
Memorial Day Miracle, his gamewinning three-point shot in Game
2 of the 1999 Western Conference
Finals vs. Portland Trail Blazers.
Unbeknownst to his teammates,
Elliott was battling a kidney disease
at the time but waited until after the
season to have the transplant he so
desperately needed.
In 2001, he became the first
player to return to professional
sports after an organ transplant.
Elliott retired in 2001 and became
a basketball analyst for the Spurs’
local broadcast for one season. In
2002, he joined ABC Sports and
ESPN, then left that position two
years later to rejoin the Spurs as the
team’s full-time color commentator. Seating is limited. For more
information, please call (866) 2629029 and press 9 or email events@

veces los autos que van al frente
están en desventaja porque no
tienen la visión de todo lo que
está pasando. Tuvimos un gran
reinicio y me pude mantener en
las curvas 1 y 2 para tomar la ruta

Hamlin logró la victoria, a pesar
de haber arrancado desde el puesto
29, y recuperarse de una pérdida
de control en la segunda vuelta
y quedar a una vuelta por detrás
de los líderes hasta la vuelta 129.
“Por suerte, esa bandera amarilla

volver a la vuelta de los líderes”,
añadió Hamlin. “Tuvimos un auto

final a pesar del desgaste de las

esfuerzo que todos hicimos. El
equipo de pits hizo un gran trabajo y ahora estamos listos para
la próxima ronda (del Chase)”,
agregó Hamlin.
Esta fue la primera victoria de
Hamlin en Chicagoland, su segunda de la temporada y la décimo
sexta de su carrera, lo que le asegura un puesto en el Contender
Round del Chase, antes de llegar
a New Hampshire para la segunda
carrera del Chase.
Kevin Harvick, el campeón
defensor de la Sprint Cup, no tuvo
una jornada afortunada, luego
de que hizo contacto con el auto
No. 48 de Jimmie Johnson en el
reinicio de la vuelta 135, lo que
eventualmente causó una llanta
pinchada en su Chevrolet No.
4 impactándose contra el muro
exterior.
“Tuve un buen reinicio, pero,
obviamente, el No. 22 (Joe Logano) y el No. 48 estaban en algo y
yo solo traté de mantener mi línea.
Entonces el No. 48 me golpeó
por el lado y ahí terminó todo”,
explicó Harvick.
Johnson tuvo otra explicación
al respecto: “Él me presionó hacia
dentro y yo tenía que regresar a
la pista”, dijo Johnson. “No diría
que él lo hizo algo diferente que
en otras situaciones similares. Si
hubieras estado en la posición de
Kevin, uno quiere evitar que el
auto que viene desde dentro quede
en un riesgoso ángulo para poder
avanzar. Yo me sentí bien al tratar
de subir, porque tenía que volver a
la pista. Así que me puse a su lado
y chocamos puesta con puerta,
llanta con llanta”, agregó Johnson.
Harvick terminó en el puesto
42 de los 43 autos que arrancaron
tras permanecer durante más de 50
vueltas en el garaje para reparar
su auto y ahora está ubicado en
el puesto 16 de Chase, por lo que
prácticamente tiene que ganar una
carrera en las próximas dos fechas
para avanzar al Contender Round.
Por suerte para el todavía
campeón, esa es la misma situación en la que estuvo en 2014
cuando llegó a Phoenix en la
penúltima carrera del Chase, antes
de ir a Homestead para conquistar
el título.
“Podemos ganar en cualquier
parte”, dijo Harvick. “Podríamos haber ganado hoy. Solo es

Denny Hamlin superó problemas y ganó primera carrera del Chase en Chicagoland
Por Reid Spencer
Nascar Wire Service
El nombre del audaz piloto
Denny Hamlin comenzó a tomar
fuerza dentro del automovilismo
profesional tras revertir lo que
parecía ser una racha de mala
suerte al sufrir la ruptura de ligamento anterior cruzado de su rodilla derecha una semana antes del
inicio del Chase, con una victoria
en la carrera myAFibRisk.com
400 que se corrió exitosamente
en el autódromo Chicagoland
Speedway.
El piloto del Toyota No. 11, del
equipo Joe Gibbs Racing, optó por
quedarse en la pista con llantas
usadas para el último reinicio de
la carrera en la vuelta 263 de 267
y logró superar a su compañero
de equipo, Carl Edwards, por solo
.963 segundos, al adelantarse en
la curva 1 del óvalo de 1.5 millas
tras ver un hueco entre los líderes.
“Fue arriesgado, pero muchas
veces me he quedado atrapado
cuestión de hacer las cosas bien un
par de días y estaremos otras vez
en el Victory Lane (callejón de la
victoria). Tal y como lo hicimos
la temporada pasada”.
Harvick no parecía estar tan
tranquilo al confrontar a Johnson
al final de la carrera, cuando estuvieron a punto de enfrentarse a
golpes, pero por fortuna miembros
de ambos equipos lo evitaron.
Otro gran piloto Kurt Busch,
quien como Hamlin se mantuvo en
la pista con llantas desgastadas en
el último reinicio, pudo cruzar la
meta en el tercer puesto, seguido
por Ryan Newman, quien logró su
primer Top 5 desde abril pasado en
el autódromo de Bristol.
Matt Kenseth finalizó quinto y
con ello pasó a ocupar el primer
puesto de la Clasificación de
Pilotos, gracias a 12 puntos de
bono por las cuatro victorias en la
temporada regular.

finalizó en el escaño 16, Paul

Our Lady of Sorrows Church
celebrates centennial
Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, MSpS, celebrates the Centennial Mass at Our Lady of Sorrows
Church with several priest concelebrants. (Courtesy photo)
By Sandy Salinas
For Today’s Catholic
In the heart of San Antonio’s
historic and charming Monte Vista
neighborhood sits what may be
one of the local Catholic community’s undiscovered gems: Our
Lady of Sorrows Church.
The small, but exquisitely beautiful 100-year-old church draws in
worshippers from varied sections
of the city and all walks of life.
This diversity was reflected in
crowd of parishioners and guests
that recently gathered for the parish’s centennial anniversary Mass
celebrated by Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, MSpS, joined
by Our Lady of Sorrows pastor,
Father Thaddeus Tabak, SDS;
Bishop Emeritus John W. Yanta of
Amarillo; and several other priests.
Addressing the packed church
primarily in English, and a bit
of Polish and Spanish as well,
Archbishop Gustavo stated how
appropriate it was the parish’s centennial celebration occurred on the
feast of the Exaltation of the Cross
and one day before the feast of the
parish’s namesake.
“What a way to honor the
blessed mother — Our Lady of
Sorrows — by contemplating what
she suffered out of love for all of us
in Jesus giving his life for all humanity. The two feasts are woven
into a single tapestry. …We stand
tonight with our lady at the foot of
the cross of Jesus.”
One of the highlights of the Mass
was the archbishop’s blessing and
unveiling of a newly enshrined
first-class relic belonging to St.
John Paul II. Located beneath an
image of the Divine Mercy, the
custom-made repository contains a
small capsule which holds a cloth
that was immersed in the saint’s
blood.
The process of bringing this
sacred relic to Our Lady of Sorrows commenced last February
during Father Tabak’s business
“Dame entendimiento para seguir tus
preceptos, pues quiero meditar en tus
maravillas”
Salmo 119:27
trip to Poland. The parish website
recounts how the pastor spoke
with the superior provincial of the
Salvatorian Fathers in Krakow in
order to petition Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz (a former personal
secretary of John Paul II) for the
relic. Only a few months later, the
relic arrived at the parish accompanied by a letter in Latin attesting
to its authenticity and signed by the
cardinal himself.
Wording in the letter is identical
to that which surrounds the bloodstained cloth within the capsule:
Ex Sanguine Sancti Joannis Pauli
II Papae (from the Blood of Saint
John Paul II, the Pope). A special
bond exists between this saint and
Father Tabak. While auxiliary
bishop of Krakow and years before
he became pope, Karol Wojtyła
administered the sacrament of
confirmation to Father Tabak.
Following the Mass, mariachis
welcomed guests into the elegantly
decorated gym for a generous
potluck meal. A narrated program
was shared detailing the parish’s
rich history and heritage.
Our Lady of Sorrows began in
1905 as a catechetical center on
Valdez Street and evolved a few
years later into a mission of San
Fernando Cathedral until 1926. As
first, liturgies were held beneath a
tent, but in 1911 the current property was purchased and four years
later the church was erected. The
church’s name, Nuestra Señora
de los Dolores (Our Lady of Sorrows), was chosen at the behest of
major donor Fred Rodriguez who
suggested it be named after his
mother, Dolores Rodriguez.
It served a primarily MexicanAmerican community of about 200
families. The ensuing years saw
significant expansion with the addition of a rectory, a school (closed
in 1970), and a convent (now used
as a commercial business office).
The church became a mission of
St. Mary’s parish in the downtown
area and later of Our Lady of Grace
parish in Monte Vista. Finally, on
Dec. 8, 1977, Our Lady of Sorrows
became an independent parish.
Throughout the years, the leadership of the parish has changed,
first from the Spanish Dominican
fathers in 1926, the Oblates in
1944, and later, archdiocesan
clergy. In 1986, Our Lady of
Sorrows was entrusted with the
spiritual care of Polish immigrants.
Finally, in 2003, the Polish
Salvatorian Fathers (known as the
Society of Divine Savior) were
assigned this role and the current
pastor, Father Tabak, took the helm
of the trilingual parish. Our Lady of
Sorrows is located at 3107 N. St.
Mary’s St., at E. Mistletoe Avenue.

En este mensaje tratamos el
caso de un hombre que “descargó
su conciencia” en nuestro sitio
www.conciencia.net. Lo hizo de
manera anónima, como pedimos
que se haga; así que, a pesar de que
nunca se lo había contado a nadie,
nos autorizó a que lo citáramos,
como sigue:
“Por medio del Facebook conocí
a mujeres y le fui infiel a mi esposa,
y a causa de ese engaño le pasé un
virus llamado VPH. Ella me botó
y pidió de inmediato el divorcio.
Pero antes de que saliera la sentencia, se retractó, me llamó y supuestamente me perdonó. Volvimos y
pasamos casi seis meses juntos....
pero mi carne fue débil, y volví a
contactarme con esas mujeres en la
red social.... Nos separamos nuevamente y casi nos divorciamos....
¿Qué más puedo hacer?”.
Este es el consejo que le dio mi

que ya ha hecho algo para tratar de
resolver la situación. Pero según
lo que nos cuenta, lo único que ha
hecho es engañar y mentir repetidas veces, y contagiar a su esposa
con una enfermedad venérea.
¿Qué más puede usted hacer?
Puede llegar a ser una persona
con integridad, un esposo que no
le oculta sus secretos a su esposa,
y un hombre con dominio propio.
Hasta que sea capaz de lograr esos
objetivos, no hay razón alguna para
que su esposa confíe en usted o le
permita regresar....... Es probable
que le haya hecho promesas a su
esposa, pero tales promesas son
inútiles si no hay obras que las
acompañen. Si usted le hubiera
dado a su esposa la información
necesaria para que ella pudiera ingresar cuando quisiera a su cuenta
en la red social, y si hubiera permitido que ella revisara cada noche
los mensajes de texto que usted
había enviado mediante su teléfono
móvil ese día, con eso nada más se
habría vuelto más fuerte al instante.
¿Por qué juzgó necesario cuidar
de que ella no se enterara de los
secretos suyos?
Jesucristo enseñó que cuando
dos personas se casan, dejan de
ser dos entidades y se convierten
en una sola entidad nueva. A fin de
seguir esta enseñanza de Cristo, los
casados no deben guardar secretos
el uno del otro, sino que debe ser
accesible al cónyuge toda red
social y comunicación con otras
personas. Si se quita la capacidad
de comunicarse en privado a través
de los medios sociales y de mensajes de texto, es mucho más difícil
cultivar relaciones inapropiadas o
adúlteras.
Dios quiere ayudarlo a ser una
persona íntegra. Quiere ayudarlo a
ser fuerte al confiar en Él y seguir
sus principios y sus leyes. El apóstol Pablo tenía una debilidad con
la que luchaba, aunque no llegó a
especificar cuál era. Pero encontró
que el poder de Dios se perfecciona
en la debilidad humana. Siempre
y cuando dependiera de Dios y
se mantuviera en una estrecha
relación con Él, podría ser fuerte
a pesar de su debilidad. Y usted
también puede lograrlo. ¡Siempre
dependa de Dios y mantenga una
relación lo más estrecha posible
con Él, y verá la diferencia que
marcará en su vida!
Dear Friends,
The first word I wish to say to
you is “Thank you”. Thank you for
welcoming me and for your efforts
to make this meeting possible.
Here I think of a person whom
I love, someone who is, and has
been, very important throughout
my life. He has been a support and
an inspiration. He is the one I go to
whenever I am “in a fix”. You make
me think of Saint Joseph. Your
faces remind me of his.
Joseph had to face some difficult
situations in his life. One of them
was the time when Mary was about
to give birth, to have Jesus. The
Bible tells us that, “while they were
[in Bethlehem], the time came for
her to deliver her child. And she
gave birth to her firstborn son and
wrapped him in bands of cloth, and
laid him in a manger, because there
was no place for them in the inn”
(Luke 2:6-7).
The Bible is very clear about this:
there was no room for them. I can
imagine Joseph, with his wife about
to have a child, with no shelter, no
home, no place to stay. The Son
of God came into this world as a
homeless person. The Son of God
knew what it was to start life without a roof over his head. We can
imagine what Joseph must have
been thinking.
How is it that the Son of God has
no home? Why are we homeless,
why don’t we have housing? These
are questions which many of you
may ask daily. Like Saint Joseph,
you may ask: Why are we homeless,
without a place to live? These are
questions which all of us might well
ask. Why do these, our brothers and
sisters, have no place to live? Why
are these brothers and sisters of ours
homeless?
Joseph’s questions are timely
even today; they accompany all
those who throughout history have
been, and are, homeless.
Joseph was someone who asked
questions. But first and foremost,
he was a man of faith. Faith gave
Joseph the power to find light just
at the moment when everything
seemed dark. Faith sustained him
amid the troubles of life. Thanks
to faith, Joseph was able to press
forward when everything seemed
to be holding him back.
In the face of unjust and painful
situations, faith brings us the light
which scatters the darkness. As it
did for Joseph, faith makes us open
to the quiet presence of God at every moment of our lives, in every
person and in every situation. God
is present in every one of you, in
each one of us.
We can find no social or moral
justification, no justification whatsoever, for lack of housing. There
are many unjust situations, but we
know that God is suffering with us,
experiencing them at our side. He
does not abandon us.
Faith makes us know that God is
at our side, that God is in our midst
and his presence spurs us to charity.
Charity is born of the call of a God
who continues to knock on our door,
the door of all people, to invite us
to love, to compassion, to service of
one another.
Pope prays with homeless
people in Washington D.C.
Special to La Prensa
In a meeting with homeless men
and women in Washington D.C.,
Pope Francis said that faith can
help us all to face unjust and painful
situations. His words came during
a visit to the parish of St Patrick in
the City, the oldest Catholic parish
in Washington, founded in 1794 to
provide pastoral support for Irish laborers working on the construction
of the White House and Congress
buildings.
In his words to the street people,
Pope Francis said they reminded
him of St Joseph, the figure to
whom the Pope said he turns whenever he is “in a fix”. Joseph faced
some difficult situations, he said,
especially when he found himself
homeless with Mary about to give
birth to her son, Jesus. The Bible
notes clearly there was no room for
them in the inn, the Pope said, so the
Son of God came into this world as
a homeless person.
We can find no social or moral
justification, no justification whatsoever, the Pope said, for lack of
housing but we know that God
never abandons us in our suffering.
Faith also makes us know that God
is knocking on our door and calling us “to love, to compassion, to
service of one another”.

#My3Feet campaign launches H-E-B partners with Dole to donate
seven salad bars to Seguin ISD
to promote cycling safety
Special to La Prensa

Special to La Prensa
A citywide increase in bicycling means more people
of all ages are cycling on San
Antonio’s roadways, inspiring the City of San Antonio’s
San Antonio Bikes program to
launch the #My3Feet campaign
to educate motorists about the
Safe Passing Ordinance.
“Southtown is the perfect location to start this conversation,
as the area is full of bicycling
and pedestrian activity,” said
Interim Chief of Police Anthony Treviño.
Adopted by City Council in
2010, the Safe Passing Ordinance sets a required passing
distance of three feet for cars
and six feet for commercial
or large trucks when passing
bicyclists and pedestrians.
“As San Antonio undergoes
exciting transformations in our
neighborhoods and streets, the
way we think about road safety
must also evolve,” District 5
Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales said. “This is why we want
to encourage everyone who
uses our streets to consider
the most vulnerable road users, including bicyclists and
pedestrians.”
San Antonio Bikes developed
the #My3Feet campaign to help
resident motorists imagine
household items or personal
mementos that roughly add up
to three feet of space.
“Communication and wordof-mouth are key to the program’s success,” said Doug
Melnick, chief sustainability
officer. “I encourage everyone
to join the conversation and
share ideas on social media, as
well as with your friends and
family.”
In 2014, San Antonio recorded 325 bicycle-related crashes,
799 pedestrian-related crashes
and 54 pedestrian deaths according to the City’s Transportation & Capital Improvements
Department.
The #My3Feet campaign
includes outdoor advertising
on roadways with high rates
of traffic incidents involving
cyclists, pedestrians and motor
vehicles. Social media users are
encouraged to utilize the #My3Feet and #SABikes hashtags to
participate in the campaign for
a chance to win bicycle helmets
and other prizes.
San Antonio Bikes will feature the #My3Feet campaign
with an inspiration wall at major
events including Síclovía on
Sept. 27 and San Antonio Bike
Octoberfest on Oct. 10. For
more information, visit sanantonio.gov/sabikes.
San Antonio will be awarded $1
million for police body-worn cameras
Lunchtime at all seven elementary schools in Seguin ISD will
now feature a fresh and fun new way to eat fruits and vegetables.

H-E-B and Dole were organized
in conjunction with the United
Fresh Start Foundation, a founding
partner of the national Let’s Move
Salad Bars to Schools initiative. To
date, the initiative has facilitated the
donation of salad bars to more than
4,100 schools nationwide, benefitting nearly 3 million children every
school day.
“We are pleased to partner with
H-E-B and Dole to provide salad
bars to schools in this area of the
country, ensuring students here will
have access to more fresh produce,
and healthier options at lunch,” said
Tom Stenzel, president and CEO of
the United Fresh Produce Association. “Salad bars empower students
to make healthy choices and get kids
excited to eat their fruits and veggies
at school and beyond.”
Seguin ISD and its food service
vendor, Chartwells, have pledged to
continually stock the salad bars with
fresh produce options, ensuring that
children get exposure to fruits and
vegetables on a daily basis.
New USDA nutrition standards
for school lunch require schools to
dramatically increase the amount
and variety of fruits and vegetable
served to students each day, and
salad bars are the easiest way for
schools to meet these requirements.
Research and experience in
schools across the country demonstrate that children significantly
increase their fruit and vegetable
consumption when given a variety of
choices in a school salad bar. When
offered multiple fruit and vegetable
choices, children respond by incorporating greater variety and increasing their overall consumption.
“We are all very excited about this
new salad bar, which will reinforce
nutrition education messages while
providing students the ability to
select from a variety of fruit and
vegetable options each day,” said
Stetson Roane, Seguin ISD superintendent.
Additionally, Rodriguez Elementary School is already a site for the
Sow Healthy Intergenerational
Garden initiative that gets children
out of the classroom and into the
garden. Sow Healthy brings together students and seniors in the
community to tend and harvest the
crops, side-by-side. The program
provides another opportunity to
ensure that children are exposed to
fruits and vegetables in a fun and
tangible way.
Pet of the week
Special to La Prensa
San Antonio will be awarded
a $1 million federal grant for
police body cameras as part of the
Department of Justice’s (DOJ)
FY 2015 $20 million Body-Worn
Camera (BWC) Pilot Implementation Program. The $1 million
grant is the most awarded to any
city; Chicago, Detroit, Miami and
Washington, D.C. are the other $1
million recipients.
“I am pleased that the Department of Justice has recognized our
municipal leadership in the deployment of body cameras during the
past two years though their award
of this $1 million grant to the city
of San Antonio,” said Mayor Ivy
R. Taylor.
“Recent events have shown
even more clearly that body cams
increase transparency and provide
valuable information to the community and to law enforcement,
helping us achieve our goals of
reducing incidents of force and
citizen complaints, ensuring safety
for the public and officers and
building an even stronger relationship between our outstanding
police force and our residents,”
added Mayor Taylor.
The grant application was submitted to the DOJ’s Bureau of
Justice Assistance by the city after
a successful pilot program by the
San Antonio Police Department
(SAPD) in 2014. A San Antonio
delegation, led by Mayor Taylor,
City Manager Sheryl Sculley,
members of the City Council and
business leaders traveled to Washington, D.C. in February 2015 and
met with DOJ officials to advocate
for federal funding. Councilman
Ron Nirenberg visited with DOJ
again in July 2015.
“This grant is one of the priorities in the city’s Federal Legislative Program,” said City Manager
Sheryl Sculley. “I’m pleased that
we’ve been able to demonstrate to
the DOJ that our body cam program is ready for implementation,
and we are very grateful for the
support of our representatives in
Washington.”
San Antonio Congressmen
Joaquin Castro, Henry Cuellar,
Committed to increasing healthier options for students, H-E-B
will donate seven salad bars to
elementary schools in Seguin Independent School District (SISD), a
district where 69 percent of students
qualify for free and reduced lunch.
The self-serve produce bars are
made possible through a partnership with Dole Food Company
(Dole) and will feature a wide array
of fresh fruits and vegetables to
boost new choices for students at
breakfast and lunch.
“H-E-B is committed to the
well-being of Texans and we have
a responsibility to take leadership
in improving the health of our
communities,” said Hugh Topper,
group vice president of Fresh for HE-B. “In particular, investing in our
children has the power to change
the way future generations see the
importance of health and wellness
in their lives.”
Representatives with H-E-B and
Dole were joined by leadership
from United Fresh Produce Association, Chartwells, Seguin ISD
and local and state officials on Sept.
24 to present Rodriguez Elementary
School in Seguin with a new salad
bar at a celebration event.
“With one-third of the nation’s
children either overweight or obese,
we need to look at new ways to
encourage healthier eating,” said
Bil Goldfield, Dole’s director of
Corporate Communications. “It’s
important to start the nutrition conversation, and offer tangible healthy
alternatives, as early in childhood
as possible. By offering permanent
salad bars stocked with fresh fruit
and vegetables, we are hopefully
establishing healthier eating habits
that will last a lifetime.”
The salad bar donations from
Popcorn is the bowl of laughs you’ve been looking for.
This 1 year old Tabby is as spunky as popping kernel corn.
He can lounge around like any other cat, but break out
the ball-o-string and he’ll be on his feet all day. Although
he’s all about his playtime, Popcorn would likely be more
comfortable without any other four-legged distractions.
After all, this golden-eyed boy doesn’t miss a thing, and
he’s sure to be ever watchful on a warm window ledge.
While he’s a young one himself, Popcorn is interested in
more grown-up company and after he’s done seeing you
as his new toy, he’ll be sure to welcome you as his new
family. So, if you’re looking for a handsome buddy to
liven up your home, Popcorn is your cob! Stop by the SA
Humane Society soon. 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.

Lloyd Doggett and Will Hurd also
supported the city’s request for
funding of the body-worn cameras
through a letter of support to the
DOJ.
Rep. Castro sponsored a successful amendment to the FY 2015 appropriations bill that increased the
total amount available nationwide
for local grants for body cameras
by $10 million. The amendment
passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support.
“It’s crucial the SAPD has the
best equipment possible to protect
our city and inspire trust in the
community,” said Congressman
Castro.
“Body-worn cameras provide
accountability and transparency
that save officer and civilian lives.
I’m glad our local law enforcement
received this significant federal
grant to support implementation
of that technology. Pursuing policies that support police and keep
our communities safe will continue to be a top priority of mine
in Congress,” added Congressman
Castro.
San Antonio’s proposal requested funding to purchase body-worn
cameras for approximately 1,030
police officers, provide training
to personnel and establish a data
storage system. The federal funds
will be used to supplement the $3
million approved for body cameras
in San Antonio’s FY2016 Budget
adopted by the City Council Sept.
10, 2015.
“The Department of Justice
recognizes San Antonio as an innovative and thoughtful leader in
deploying technology in policing,”
said Councilman Ron Nirenberg,
District 8. “The San Antonio body
camera policy is viewed as a na-
tional model.”
Over the next two years, San Antonio’s body-worn camera program
will provide an estimated 2,200
body-worn cameras for police officers to more effectively protect a
growing population.
“Transparency and maintenance
of public trust are key to our continued success as an organization,”
said Interim Police Chief Anthony
Trevino. “We’re proud of our body
camera program’s progress thus far.
Our testing and evaluation processes were successful and informative,
and we’re excited that our policy
is being considered a model policy
among our peer agencies in Texas.”

Spurs Sports & Entertainment visitó al campeón Meade Elementary
Por José I. Franco

Silver & Black Give Back

así como empleados de la em­
presa Spurs Sports & Entertain­
ment, la mascota The Coyote
y dinámicas porristas de Silver
Dancers en visita sorpresa a la es­
cuela primaria Mead Elementary
School (3803 Midhorizon Dr.).
La vice principal Belinda Flores
les dio la bienvenida y les llevó
al gimnasio donde les esperaban
personal docente y estudiantes,
entre ellos los integrantes del
equipo que en el 2014 integraron
el programa bibliotecario móvil
con el que compitieron en el pro­
grama Team Up Challenge que
pertenece a SBGB.
El equipo representativo de
Meade Elementary School resultó
entre los 20 equipos semifinalis­
tas, por lo que entonces recibió
un donativo por la cantidad de
$2,500 para comenzar a sufragar
gastos de su proyecto académico.
Con buena fortuna, el equipo de
Meade Elementary resultó electo
campeón uniéndose a otros cuatro
equipos elegidos campeones, por
lo que finalmente cada uno se
hizo merecedor de $20,000 para
destinarlos a la continuación de
sus respectivos proyectos con
los que dejaron beneficios en
sus respectivos planteles y sus
comunidades.
Los distinguidos visitantes
realizaron coloridas actividades,
mientras el programa era dirigido
por Andrew Monaco, reportero
y comentarista de SS&E, quien
destacó el énfasis de cada equipo
que compitió durante 2014. Mo­
naco a la vez convocó a nuevos
equipos y los ya formados a se­
guir participando en el programa
Team Up Challenge en el que
también participan estudiantes
de secundaria y preparatoria
asesorados por capitanes que
cursan estudios superiores en los
diversos colegios y universidades
de San Antonio, quienes por su
desinteresado servicio perciben
una bonificación para ayudarse a
solventar gastos académicos.
De acuerdo a Meredith Co­
llier, vocera de SBGB, el pro­
grama Team Up Challenge para
el ciclo 2015-16 tiene destinada
la cantidad de más de $350,000
para donarla y repartirla equi­
tativamente entre los equipos
participantes conformados por es­
tudiantes, personal docente y co­
legiales que tomen participación
en los proyectos y competencias.
Las áreas en las que los equipos
pueden competir son: Artes y Cul­
tura, Educación, Medio Ambiente,
Salud y el Servicio Uniformado.
“Estamos felices por la visita
del personal de SS&E, The Coyo­
te y las Silver Dancers, quienes
vinieron a felicitar a nuestro
equipo campeón. Nuestros es­

A passion for coffee leads couple to open The Fairview
By Christina Acosta
[email protected]
Price Range: $
The fresh aroma of roasted cof­
fee beans floating through the air
may motivate anyone to become
a certified coffee master or, even
better, inspire them to open their
own coffee shop.
This is what happened to John
Sanchez, owner of The Fairview,
a new coffee shop in town. As
customers step inside the beauti­
ful and unique coffee shop, they
will feel as if they’ve traveled
back in time to the 1960s.
The vintage-looking coffee
shop is a possible reflection
based on where coffee started
with the Sanchez family. The
owner discussed with La Prensa
about how his journey with cof­
fee began.
“My stepfather was a roaster
for Maxwell House in Houston,
so I grew up around coffee. I
started my roasting experience
at a small shop on the Southwest
side of Houston five years ago
and have read every book on cof­
fee that I could find,” explained
Sanchez.
For 10 years, Sanchez was a
barista and co-owner of a coffee
shop in Houston. After he mar­
ried Whitney Sanchez, who is
also the owner of The Fairview,
they decided to move to San
Antonio and create a small cof­
fee shop because they fell in love
with the city.
Once they both had their heart
set to open The Fairview, the
process to create a full balanced
menu focused on offering high
quality coffee, as well as deli­
cious pastries that would pair
well with the drink.
“Creating the menu for food
and pastry mainly came about
through a lot of experimentation.
We developed our bread starter
and recipe last year and began
brainstorming on small plate
ideas around the same time. The
coffee menu is pretty traditional
as of now, and comes from years
of experience in the specialty cof­
fee industry,” discussed Sanchez.
Once the menu was set in
stone, the Sanchez’s continued
to work on improving their menu
with pastries, such as donuts,
which allows the menu to change
seasonally. This required addi­
tional work, but also a learning
experience for Mrs. Sanchez,
who can now add baker to her
resumé.
“My wife [Whitney] taught
herself to bake artisan loaves
from a sourdough starter that we
created in the Fall and she de­
veloped a country blonde recipe
that we serve in the shop. We
are developing new flavors using
seasonal produce and influences
from our community. Today,
we just put out a Mexican Hot
Chocolate doughnut,” explained
Mr. Sanchez about the fun menu.
Although the menu will pos­
sibly add a cavity to your sweet
tooth, you must take the risk in
trying the Mexican Hot Choco­
late donut. This donut adds a
combination of chocolate as well
as a tart from the lime pastry
crème.
The shop may have opened in
mid-summer; however, The Fair­
view has gotten busier overtime.
Mr. Sanchez explains that the
community has been supportive
and helpful throughout the new
journey.
“The community has respond­
ed so well to our shop and the
reviews have been so kind and
thrilling about every aspect, from
the location and space to the of­
ferings, even just the vibe of the
shop and our community feel. We
are so lucky to be able to serve
this city and couldn’t be happier
to have been welcomed to the
neighborhood so wholeheart­
edly,” explained Mr. Sanchez.
With positive feedback from
the community, the couple does

menu and even have their own
roastery.
“We definitely have plans for
the future which may involve a
larger second location with a full
brunch menu, as well as beer and
wine. For this location, we have
rented the space next door which
will become our roaster,” Mr.
Sanchez explained.
“We may also create a larger
space in our [current location]
for baking prep, especially since
our baking program has been
such a hit. However, as we are
using majority seasonal and lo­
cal ingredients, the food menu
will be evolving and rotating
throughout the year so will stay
fresh,” Sanchez added.
The price range for drinks is
between $2.50-3.85; however,
if you would like a full order of
vanilla bean waffles the price can
go up to $7. If you are interested

LatinHeat Cinema: a streaming platform for Latino content makers
Film star Danny Trejo is one of the first a-list actors signings on to the latest venture for Latino filmmakers. (Courtesy photo)
By Hispanicize Wire
American Latino Theatre, a
nonprofit 501(c) 3 company and
Latin Heat Media, LLC, have
partnered in a joint venture to
launch LatinHeat Cinema, a
groundbreaking online streaming
service that will target Latino
movie consumers.
It will also allow them to
watch films that are Latino
themed, produced and which
star Latinos and not available
through traditional film distribution.
The idea for the LatinHeat
Cinema, targeting the Latino
audience, is the brainchild of
filmmaker and entrepreneur David Llauger-Meiselman who has
spent the past two years closely
studying monitoring, examining
and witnessing the disintegration
of traditional film distribution.
“It’s devastating for indie filmmakers, as I personally know,
because there is basically is no
way to get our films out to the
masses,” stated Llauger-Meiselman. “There really is no hope
for most filmmakers to secure
a decent distribution deal in the
traditional sense.” Adding, “No
matter how much your film cost,
how great the quality and strong
the story is, the odds are against
you to ever get your film seen by
the public, and a zilch chance to
recoup your costs.”
LatinHeat Cinema launched
in September on the occasion
of the premiere of LlaugerMeiselman film “Strike One,”
in Los Angeles. “Strike One” is
an American-Latino urban drama
and award-winning indie film
whose focus is on the effects of
the unjust and cruel
Three Strikes Law has on
Latino youth. “Strike One” stars
Danny Trejo, Johnny Ortiz,
Alma Martinez, James Russo,
Billy Gallo, French Stewart,
Jocelyn Cruz, Maria Isa, Lawrence Smilgys, and Reginald Vel
Johnson. LatinHeat Cinema will
offer online movie consumers the
opportunity to rent Strike One for
$3.99 or purchase it for $9.99.
Llauger-Meiselman teamed
with Latin Heat Media LLC, an
integrated, multi-media entertainment company and established brand servicing Latinos in
entertainment, and its CEO and
president, Bel Hernandez Castillo, CEO/president. LlaugerMeiselman and Hernandez Castillo bring years of experience in
working with Latino filmmakers
and have worked closely together
to develop this online theatre
screen with the capacity to reach
the lion’s share of Latino movie
consumers via the multiple digital platforms available: Laptops,
smart TVs, tablets and mobile
devices.
The end result is www.LatinHeatCinema.com, an online
Latino streaming vehicle that:
— Service fills a void in Hollywood by providing streaming
for Latino indie films and other
content;
— Widens the platform to allow millions of Latinos access
to films they would otherwise
never see; and
— The LatinHeat Cinema
model is built so that filmmakers gain more control over the
distribution of their projects and
the opportunity to earn back on
their investment.
LatinHeat Cinema will be
targeting the most desired audience in entertainment: Latino
moviegoers, which contribute 25
percent of domestic box-office
revenue, and they are in the
coveted age groups of 18-24-year
olds and 25-39-year olds.
“And, we will push to reach far
beyond the U.S. borders,” said
Llauger-Meiselman. “Our reach
is global. When David came to us
with the idea, he also came with
the perfect film we could test
the market with, his film, Strike
One,” said Hernandez Castillo.
“Here is an action film, with one
of the most recognizable names
in Hollywood, Danny Trejo.
We are excited that LatinHeat
Cinema will be a home to media
content by, about and starring
Latinos.”
Hernandez Castillo also went
on to point out that LatinHeat
Cinema looks forward to providing a market channel relationship
to help filmmakers build-out.
“True,” added Llauger-Meiselman. “Basically, at LatinHeat
Cinema, filmmakers aren’t giving away their content. Unlike
other sites, at LatinHeat Cinema
they are in control of their market. They will know, through
our metrics, who their audience
is and how they are responding
to their product.”
Strike One, is part of the LatinHeat Cinema Launch and will
be offered nationwide and internationally. The long-range plans
for LatinHeat Cinema is to offer
an exclusive selection of Latino
original first-run films, original
series, made-for-LHC movies
and documentaries.
Telemundo premiers ‘Celia,’ inspired by the life of Celia Cruz
Special to La Prensa
Telemundo’s upcoming drama
series “Celia” will premiere on
Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 8 p.m./7c.
Preceding the premiere, the

when female singers didn’t have
a place on a stage. In a first-ever

episodes of “Celia” will be available through Video on Demand
prior to television premiere.
Featuring a stellar cast including actors Jeimy Osorio and
Modesto Lacen, who give life to
Celia Cruz and Pedro Knight during their younger years, with the
introduction of Aymee Nuviola
and Willie Denton playing the
couple in their later years, “Celia” is a Fox Telecolombia production that Telemundo brings to
its screen delivering a new and
innovative programming style
to its viewers.

cen, will be produced by renowned record producer Sergio
George and feature a medley of

Il Divo to release new studio
album “Amor & Pasion”
Special to La Prensa
El chef José Andres es premiado por el Caucus Hispano. (EFE/Archivo)
The original and still the best
classical cross over group, Il Divo
will release their eagerly anticipated
new album “Amor & Pasion” on
Nov. 13 on Syco Music.
Working with Columbian producer and multiple Latin Grammy
winner Julio Reyes Copello, Il
Divo have recorded a body of work
spanning a century of traditional
tangos, smoldering boleros and
classic mambos.
“Amor & Pasión” hails from
Spain and Cuba, from Central and
South America. The tracks that
make up the album are mostly familiar hits - such as Julio Iglesias’
iconic “A Las Mujeres Que Yo
Amé (To All the Girls I’ve Loved
Before),” and Gloria Estefan’s
resonant “Si Voy A Perderte (Don’t
Wanna Lose You),” along with
“Himno De La Alegria,” an exciting Latin treatment of Beethoven’s
Ode To Joy and one of the most
classic tangos of all time, “Por Una
Cabeza” which was written in 1935
and was used in both Schindlers
List and the Al Pacino film “Scent
Of A Woman”.
This is Il Divo’s seventh studio
album - and their most ambitious
yet. The flavors and sultry rhythms
of Spain and Cuba, Argentina and
“Amor & Pasión” will be released on Nov. 13. (Courtesy photo)
Mexico give a nod to the quartet’s
beginnings, whilst marking an exciting new chapter in their career.
“Amor & Pasión,” an album full of
love and romance.
“For me it’s amazing. After 11
years, we always find something
again that gets us genuinely excited,” said Urs. “I am so inspired
by this album. A lot of the music
was completely unknown to me
before. And it’s beautiful music.
It’s very happy, very uplifting, very
passionate - it is music full of love.”
Brought together by Simon Cowell in 2003, Urs Buhler, Sebastien
Izambard, Carlos Marin and David
Miller, spearheaded an entirely new
musical genre with their ground-
breaking debut album in 2004. The
multi-national four piece have gone
on to achieve unparalleled success
around the world with 30 millions
album sales, 50 Number 1 Records,
160 gold and platinum awards in
over 33 countries and four sold out
world tours.
Il Divo has released six albums
to date. After their platinum eponymous debut, subsequent albums
– “Ancora” (2005), “Siempre”
(2006), “The Promise” (2008)
and “Wicked Game” (2011) built
on the group’s winning combination of virtuoso and mass appeal.
Their 2013 recording, “A Musical

Selena Gomez sends out message of
acceptance through ‘Hotel Transylvania 2’

Special to La Prensa

Transylvania 2”. (EFE / Sony Pictures Animation)
EFE - U.S. actor and singer
Selena Gomez, whose character
in the animated ‘Hotel Transylvania 2’ rejects discrimination,
told EFE Wednesday she aspires
to use art to send out messages
of positivity and acceptance to
the youth.
In her new film by Sony Pictures Animation, Gomez once
again lends her voice to Mavis,
the only daughter of Dracula,
voiced by Adam Sandler.
Mavis, who marries a human,
tries to get her father into accepting her son who, in all probability,
is not a vampire.
“It’s beautiful! In the second
film (Mavis) has a son who could
be human, and so the message of
acceptance is crucial. This opens
a conversation between parents
and children to understand that
all people should be accepted,”
said the former Disney star to
EFE during a promotional visit
to Miami, Fla.
The animated children’s movie
is set for a Sept. 25 release and in
which Mavis is confronted with
prejudices among humans and
monsters, going through a transition that Gomez identifies with.
“It’s strange to go from being a
child to being an adult, and I still
find it difficult to settle in, but I’m
working very hard on that,” said
the Latin American Music Award
nominee referring to her separation from Disney television with
whom she had been associated
with for more than a decade.
The young artist of Mexican
origin said she felt ‘fortunate’ for
a successful professional career
that includes five music albums
and multiple movies.
However, she “continues to
find it difficult to cope” with
negative criticism.
“It is crazy to see so many
malicious comments on social
networks, people who attack others on how they look. I try to fight
against this as I can,” said the
singer of “Kill them with Kindness”, a song on fighting bullying.
She said responding with kindness is “a strategy that has always
worked for me, although sometimes I wanted to shout at them
or respond in some other way, at
the end of the day I’m not going
to give them that satisfaction, they
don’t deserve it,” she explained.
Aware of her influence on
the younger generation, Gomez
stressed the importance of positive messages through art and emphasized ‘self-acceptance’.
The 23-year-old singer, a dedicated philanthropist, confessed
she uses music as a tool to “move
her feelings” to balance her professional and personal life.
Now through Nov. 1, America
Haunts attractions will provide
$1 million in free tickets for
admission to active duty service men and women in all five
branches of the military, honorably discharged veterans and the
families of those killed in action.
The tickets are available
through Vet Tix, a national
nonprofit organization. To receive the tickets, veterans and
members of the military and their
families can visit www.vettix.
org to create a free account and
request tickets.
America Haunts, which includes San Antonio’s 13th Floor
Haunted House, is an association of more than 30 elite
haunted attractions throughout
the United States. Individual
America Haunts members have
participated with Vet Tix in
previous years, but this is the
first year the entire association
is participating.
“We felt it was important for
us to join in with other members
to give back in some small way
to our men and women in the
Armed Services and their families for their dedication to our
country,” said Chris Stafford,
owner of 13th Floor Haunted
House. “Every one of America
Haunts’ members’ communities includes veterans and their
families. We all feel honored to
support our neighbors who have
so honorably served us.”
“Service men and women
sign on to serve their country,
often sacrificing the opportunity
to take part in beloved holiday
traditions like celebrating Halloween with their families,” said
Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, vice
president of America Haunts.
“As a group, we wanted to
come together to show our appreciation and collectively express
our thanks,” she said.
CEO Mike Focareto, a Navy
veteran, launched Vet Tix in
2008. The idea for Vet Tix was
born when Focareto was at the
Super Bowl XLII game in Glendale, Ariz.
“He learned that the members
of the Honor Guard were not ac-

Vet Tix chief community officer
Brandi Shannon. “At the same
time, he sat next to an empty seat.
He thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice
if one of our veterans could be
sitting here enjoying the game?’”
In the past 12 months, Vet Tix
has given away approximately
500,000 tickets to events around
the country. The organization
works with venues to distribute
unused tickets to over 275,000
military members and veterans
who would like to use them.
Events include those at very
small venues all the way up to
professional sporting events and
top-selling concerts. They also
help veterans and their families
attend events they otherwise
could not with the “Hero’s Wish”
program, where veterans and
active duty personnel and their
families can post requests for
events and donors can provide
tickets or money toward the purchase of tickets to events.
With more than 30 haunted
houses and attractions across the
country, America Haunts delivers fear-based entertainment to
more than a million thrill seekers
each season. America Haunts
has been featured on the Travel
Channel and its members recognized by The Guinness Book
of World Records on multiple
occasions. The organization is
committed to providing technical
excellence, stunning set design,
Hollywood-quality make-up,
costumes and actors. Members
enjoy nothing more than delivering a good old-fashioned scare.

Johnny Depp’s band brings together
old treasures in Brazil’s Rock in Rio
EFE - Hollywood Vampires,
the band led by rock veteran Alice
Cooper and U.S. actor Johnny
Depp as guitarist, brought together
old treasures of music on the fourth
day of Rock in Rio, a concert in
which they performed their own
renditions of songs by John Lennon
and The Rolling Stones, among
others.
With their own versions, a little
more heavy than the originals, the
Los Angeles based band in their
first big concert, brought back
songs of the 60s and 70s for 85,000
people who gathered at the festival
in Rio de Janeiro.
Their repertoire also included
some original songs apart from
classics from iconic bands including: The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink
Floyd and other artists such as Jim
Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and John
Lennon.
Hollywood Vampires were the
opening act of the fourth day of
Rock in Rio where other hardcore
rock bands including System of
a Down and Queens of the Stone
Age also performed.
Despite this apparently secondary role, Hollywood Vampires
aroused great expectations with
fans flocking to the venue disguised as pirate Jack Sparrow,

made famous by Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series.
And those who were already
familiar with the legendary Cooper
could confirm that Depp was not
just a mere presence in the band
but had knowledge and good command over the guitar.
With screams of fans as he
appeared before them, the actor
seemed to be at ease among the
well-known and veteran rockers.
Although Depp on the guitar cannot be compared to Joe

Shakira: Education is not a Patrick Dempsey se une al
luxury, it’s a human right elenco de Bridget Jones
EFE - Global superstar Shakira called on the world’s leaders
Tuesday to boost investment in
education for the earliest years of
childhood and said that education
is not a luxury but a human right.
“If we invest in a child from its
earliest years, we’re investing in
his or her development and future
success, not only in school but
later in life,” the Colombian singer
said in an interview with EFE.
Shakira, a Unicef Goodwill
Ambassador, visited United Nations headquarters Tuesday to call
on governments and the private
sector to pay more attention to the
mental development of children
during the very first stage of their
lives.
The latest research shows that
inadequate nutrition, a lack of
stimuli and traumatic experiences
have negative repercussions on
brain development during those
first years and have undeniable
effects on adult life.
For that reason, Unicef wants
the world to change the way it
looks at early childhood development and multiply the investments
in that stage of life.
“It’s a moral subject. From a human point of view, we should give
the same chance to all children,”
Shakira said, adding that education is key for eliminating poverty,
inequality, and consequently the
violence that results from a lack
of opportunity.
“Education is not a luxury, it’s
a human right. A right to be human from the cradle that no one
can take away from us. Me must
demand it,” she said.
Shakira, who has worked for
years in Colombia in education
and in promoting early education,
acknowledged that since becoming a mother her interest in the
matter has gone through the roof.
“If I was passionate about the
subject before, I’m a lot more
so now. I have the principal of
Milan’s (her eldest son’s) school
on my WhatsApp. So every day I
ask her a question or I call her or
write her and I make suggestions,
like I give her ideas about how I
think we can do better based on
my experience,” she said.
“Really, I’m such a bore on the
subject of education, it’s just that
I’ve seen how beautiful it is to
see little ones of that age, so tiny,
how they begin to absorb everything with such amazing speed,”
she said.
The singer recalled that in the
first months of life the brain forms
hundreds of neuronal connections
every second, which means there
is “a very small window of time”
to aid a baby’s cerebral development.
“Now that I had a baby boy
seven months ago, for me this information, from the viewpoint of
neuroscience, is really revolutionary,” said Shakira, who had her
second child, Sasha, in January.
The artist will perform next Friday for the world’s heads of state
and government at the inauguration of the United Nations summit
in New York aimed at establishing
a strategy to substitute the Millennium Goals.
Shakira will sing for the occasion John Lennon’s “Imagine,”
of which she vocalized a preview
Tuesday during a press conference
at U.N. headquarters.
