Battle of Flowers
Band Festival 2015
By Joe Sandoval
Thursday night’s Battle of
Flowers Band Festival was one
for the record books.
The 77th Annual Band Festival
saw 5,000 area high school band
students – the largest number of
participants in the festival’s history - compete and perform in
unison as they took to the field
for the finale culminating with
a spectacular fireworks display.
Kevin Russell from Clark High
School arranged the music with
percussion arrangement by David
Suarez, Brandeis High School.
Although the bands were divided into sizes and competed
within their similar groupings,
two San Antonio favorites were
top ranked by the judges.
In the Category 5A grouping,
Thomas Jefferson High School
received the 1st Place Award.
The People’s Choice Award is
given to the band that executed
the most “crowd pleasing” performance during the parade of bands:
The People’s Choice Winner
was East Central High School.

Kawhi Leonard, alero titular
de los Spurs, se hizo merecedor
de la elección como el 2014-15
KIA NBA Defensive Player of
the Year Award por su promedio
de juego defensivo.
El tradicional trofeo, patrocinado por la empresa armadora
automotriz KIA Motors America,
le fue presentado a Leonard el
jueves 23 de abril en el centro
de entrenamiento de los Spurs
por RC Buford, gerente general
de Spurs, y el ejecutivo Percy
Vaughn, KIA Motors America
Vice President, Eastern Sales
Operations.
A la vez, Leonard fue honrado
para elegir a la organización sin
fines de lucro de su preferencia,
la cual como donativo de KIA
Motors America (KMA), recibió
una mini van marca 2016 Kia
Sorento LX CUV.
La elección fue para beneficio
de la organización Respite Care
of San Antonio, que se dedica al
cuidado de niños con necesidades
especiales.
La entrega oficial de la mini
van fue presentada por Le­onard
y Vaughn al ejecutivo Bert Pfeister, presidente and CEO de Respite Care.
“Todo esto se ha logrado con
el apoyo de mis compañeros y
el res­p aldo de nuestros entre-
nadores, sin ellos no hubiese
logrado traer a San Antonio
el trofeo y el donativo que de
mucho servirá a la organización
elegida. Continuaré trabajando
duro en mi estilo de juego, ya que
mi meta es contribuir para ganar
partidos”, dijo Leonard.
Por su lado, el gerente general
RC Buford destacó la contribución que Leonard, ha aportado a
los Spurs.
“Kawhi Leonard es un jugador
dedicado al entrenamiento diario,

su sistema de juego, por lo que
lo felicito en nombre de sus compañeros y toda la organización
Silver & Black”, afirmó.
El representante de KMA, Percy Vaughn, enfatizó lo siguiente:

NBA. Por ocho años hemos venido aportándole patrocinio a los
Spurs y la NBA. Creemos en el
trabajo en conjunto que Spurs realiza y por tan importante factor
hoy reconocemos a Kawhi Leonard como el ganador del premio
Defensive Player of the Year”,
expresó Vaugh, quien, tras haber
presentado el trofeo alusivo, le
presentó a Leonard la llave de
la mini van que estuvo exhibiéndose en el estacionamiento del
centro de entrenamiento y que de
inmediato fue donada a Respite
Care, tocándole recibirla al señor
Pfiester.
PACfest recauda fondos para
organizaciones estudiantiles

Miles de residentes se dieron cita
en Palo Alto College para disfrutar
de música en vivo, juegos para toda
la familia y una amplia variedad
de comida para así apoyar a clubes
estudiantiles.
PACfest es el evento oficial más
grandes de Fiesta que se encuentra
al sur de la autopista 90. El festival
comenzó en la década de 1980
como una manera de recaudar
fondos para las organizaciones en
el colegio, pero tras los años fue
creciendo tanto que se convirtió
en un evento oficial de Fiesta en
el 2003.
Según Jerry Arellano, director
de comunicaciones de Palo Alto
College, más de 10,000 residentes
asisten al evento cada año y los Ready Revolution es una de las agrupaciones musicales que se presentó en el evento de Fiesta de
fondos recaudados son la entrada de Palo Alto College. (Fotos, Natalie Bobadilla)

Cada año, el evento es planeado y realizado por un comité
de voluntarios. Entre el comité de
voluntarios se encuentra Arellano y
varios otros miembros de la admi­
nistración, facultad y estudiantes de
Palo Alto College. El grupo planea
el evento por casi todo un año, de
hecho, el mes que entra comenzarán a planear para PACfest 2016.
“El proceso de planear es muy
largo, pero definitivamente vale la
pena”, expresó Arellano. “El enVea Kawhi Leonard La mayoría de los vendedores en el festival son estudiantes de foque principal de Palo Alto Colle­

en realidad no importa que tanto
nos tardemos en planear PACfest
porque los fondos recaudados permiten que los clubs estudiantiles realicen eventos durante todo el año”.
Uno de las organizaciones que se
beneficia de PACfest es el Club de
Horticultura de Palo Alto College.
La organización vendió coronas

Comentarios... Invisibles y confundidos
Están ahí
pero muchos
no los ven. Son
invisibles para
la mayoría de
los norteamericanos, a pesar
Jorge Ramos de que son más
de 11 millones
y hacen para ellos los trabajos
más difíciles, los que nadie quie­
re hacer. Les llaman ilegales y
criminales.
Sí, es cierto, violaron la ley
al entrar sin permiso a Estados
Unidos o cuando se quedaron más allá del tiempo que les
concedía su visa. Pero no es un
crimen. Vienen porque miles de
empresas norteamericanos los
contratan y porque su trabajo
beneficia a millones de personas.
Por eso vienen. Todos somos sus
cómplices.
Comemos lo que ellos cosechan. Dormimos en casas y
apartamentos que ellos cons­
truyen. Y muchas veces cuando
vamos a un hotel, restaurante
o negocio, alguno de ellos nos
atiende. Son parte de nuestras
vidas, pero no los vemos. Son
invisibles.
De hecho, ellos tratan de
hacer­s e invisibles. No hacen
ruido. No se pelean. Se esconden. No quieren que la policía
los detenga por una infracción
de tráfico porque pueden perder
el carro y hasta ser deportados.
Siempre se están despidiendo;
cuando salen de sus casas no saben si van a regresar en la noche
a ver a sus hijos.
El gobierno del presidente
Obama ha deportado a más de
2 millones de inmigrantes desde
que llegó a la Casa Blanca. Más
que cualquier otro presidente.
Pero al menos protegió de la
deportación a cientos de miles
de “Dreamers” –o estudiantes
indocumentados– y con su acción ejecutiva pretende hacer lo
mismo con más de 4 millones
de inmigrantes. Eso, si lo dejan.
Actualmente hay mucha confusión. La acción ejecutiva de
Obama está atorada en las cortes.
Veintiséis estados lo demandaron y los indocumentados, como
siempre, no tienen más remedio
que esperar. Y esperar.
Para variar, esto se ha convertido en tema de campaña.
Ocurre cada cuatro años. No
hay nada más fácil que atacar a
quienes no se pueden defender
públicamente.
Muchos precandidatos repu­
blicanos y comentaristas conservadores hablan de los indocumentados como si se tratara de
seres desechables, que puedes
empacar y enviar a cualquier
parte del mundo. Se les olvida
que sus familias también vinieron de otro lado. Pero ese
olvido podría costarles muy caro
en las urnas.
En una elección muy cerrada,
los votantes latinos decidirán
quién será el próximo presidente
de Estados Unidos. No es magia.
Son matemáticas. Barack Obama
ganó la pasada elección con apenas 5 millones de votos más que
Mitt Romney. El próximo año se
calcula que voten 16 millones de
latinos, más que suficientes para
elegir al ganador.
Es, en realidad, un concepto
muy sencillo: ningún hispano
va a votar por un candidato
que quie­ra deportar a su papá y
mamá, a sus amigos, a sus vecinos, a sus compañeros de trabajo
o a estudiantes jóvenes.
El líder histórico de los hispanos, César Chávez, dijo hace
31 años: “He visto el futuro, y
el futuro es nuestro”. Ese futuro
es hoy. Cada año 800 mil latinos
cumplen 18 años, la edad para
votar, según el centro Pew. En el
2050 uno de cada tres norteame­
ricanos tendrá apellido hispano.
Sí, el futuro es nuestro e incluirá, pronto, al primer presidente
latino.
Los latinos en Estados Unidos saben que no hay nada más
difícil que ser inmigrante. Lo dejas todo –casa, amigos, familia,
idioma– por una apuesta: que tú
y tus hijos van a vivir mejor. (Por
eso hay más de 230 millones de
inmigrantes en el mundo.)
Los grandes países son medidos, no por la manera en que
tratan a los ricos y poderosos,
sino por su forma de cuidar a
los más vulnerables. Y los inmigrantes son los más vulnerables.
Estados Unidos tiene ahora que
decidir qué tipo de país quiere
ser. Solo espero que trate a los inmigrantes que llegaron después
de mí con la misma generosidad
y respeto con que me trató a mí.

Just a Thought: Westside Education Training Center
For the past
six weeks I
have been
employed as
a part-time
Adjunct Instructor at the
Alamo City
Steve Walker College District (ACCD)
located in the Edgewood School
District.
Housed on SW 40th Street in
the former Lincoln Elementary
School campus, ACCD has taken
possession of the building and
offers a number of students with
limited education, vocational
skills and GED classes. Students
come from the Westside and all
parts of town to take classes on
the campus seeking better employment opportunities.
As one who spent a year in the
Edgewood School District in the
80s at Memorial High School, I
am acutely aware of the need to
provide those additional opportunities for many raised on the
Westside of town.
My one year at “La Memorial” as we called it back then
was exciting to say the least. I
served as a Government teacher
and many of my students and I
decided to voluntarily help in a
Mayor’s campaign to elect the
first Hispanic Mayor since 1842,
Henry Cisneros. For me, it was
a sort of reunion with the area
in which I taught those many
years ago.
Imagine my surprise when
I began my tenure recently at
the ACCD campus expecting
to teach a GED class and discovering my schedule had been
changed to working as a support
teacher for a class of nursing assistant students. Instead of GED,
I was about to be exposed to the
career path of someone wishing
to work in a hospital, nursing
home, in-home care, or a doctor’s office!
My second surprise was learning that six of the eight students
in the class were from Mexico
and at various levels of English proficiency. My students
were between the ages of 24
and 48. The youngest student
was a skilled nurse in Mexico
and was training on her nursing
assistant’s certification to be
employed here in San Antonio.
Part of my job as the support
instructor is to create various
worksheets by highlighting the
various chapters in the student’s
workbooks to make it easier to
comprehend the material for
tests.
The best part of the class for
me is the opportunity to practice
along with the students the very
skills taught by the nurse who
is the lead teacher. A Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) for
34 years, Cynthia Ball is really
proficient at what she does.
Since being part of the class, I
have learned to take someone’s
blood pressure, pulse, heartbeat,
and oxygen level. For me it is a
whole new world! I also learned
how to properly drain a bedpan,
how to give a partial sponge bath,
help someone out of a bed into a
wheelchair and clean a catheter.
The students also practice on
me to sharpen their skills set
as well. It is good to know on
a consistent basis my vitals are
consistently good considering
my age!
This upcoming week we will
be visiting a nursing home on
the campus of Incarnate Word
University to shadow nursing
assistants in their daily routine of
administering to their residents.
Next week we will finish the
class and within weeks they will
take their state exams.
For me, it is a new learning
experience. Hopefully I will
remember the skills should
someday I find myself in one of
those nursing facilities. But then
again, what is the hurry?
As always, what I write is
“Just a Thought.”

A new call to the nation from the Alamo
By Ramona Bass
179 years ago, Col. William
Barret Travis’ famous “Victory
or Death” letter — written during the 1836 siege of the Alamo
— stirred the hearts of a nation.
“To the People of Texas &
all Americans in the World,”
Travis wrote, “I am besieged
... I have sustained a continual
Bombardment & cannonade ... I
shall never surrender or retreat
... I call on you in the name of
Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American
character, to come to our aid,
with all dispatch … VICTORY
OR DEATH.”
Travis’ tenacity inspired his
men, and showed the world
what it means to be a Texan.
To this day, the heroic story of
the Alamo defenders and their
defiance against tyranny define
our state’s character. The glory
of this seminal battle draws
visitors from across our state,
the nation, and around the world
to better understand what happened there in 1836.
Unfortunately, the carnivallike atmosphere they find at
the Shrine of Texas Liberty and
the lack of a cohesive narrative
often leave them disappointed.
Even worse, there is nothing
to show the proper reverence
and respect for the men who
gave their lives for Texas.
More critical at this moment is
our knowledge that the Alamo
itself is literally beginning to
crumble.
I am honored to have been
appointed to the Alamo Endowment Board and on behalf of
that board, I issue a new plea
for our beloved Alamo which
is now besieged by time and the
elements. “…To the People of
Texas & all Americans in the
World: I call on you in the name
of Liberty, of patriotism and
everything dear to the American
character, to come to our aid
and support with all dispatch.”
I believe that we Texans of
today must answer this age-old
appeal. We conserve what we
care about, and Texans care
about the Alamo.
Our goal is to raise the millions needed to preserve the
shrine and build an Alamo
Museum and Visitor’s Center
to display Phil Collins’ gift to
all Texans: his Alamo artifacts.
This collection includes Jim
Bowie’s legendary knife, one
of only four remaining rifles
owned by Davy Crockett, letters from William B. Travis,
and many other historical documents that shed insight on early
Texas history. These Texas
treasures now sit in storage,
waiting for us to take action.
A proper Alamo Museum
and Visitor’s Center would tell
the story of the Alamo defenders, and help visitors better
understand why this Spanish
mission in downtown San Antonio means so much to us and
the world.
Travis’ plea came too late
to help him and his men inside
the walls of the Alamo, but it
carried across the country and
rallied support for their cause.
His inspiring words are as valid
today as they were then. The
history of the people of Texas
and our great state is reflected
in the spirit of their bravery. It
is time to honor that spirit again.
Building a future for the
Alamo will take many people
working together for many
years. Join us today in preserving the Alamo and building an
Alamo Museum and Visitor’s
Center. To find out more, please

with her hometown’s Mission

and Recreation Project, specifically the Mission Espada.

Check that contractor out before you spring for a home upgrade
By Erin Dufner
Does your home need a good
spring cleaning or something
more substantial? For some
homeowners, spring is a time to
let in the breeze and do some serious housekeeping. Others may
want to go further, by remodeling
or upgrading their homes.
Home improvement projects
take time and money and, more
importantly, skilled, trustworthy
contractors. Better Business
Bureau (BBB) serving Central,
Coastal, Southwest Texas and
the Permian Basin asks you to
do your research before hiring a
contractor.
BBB received almost 5,000
complaints against home improvement companies nationally in 2014. Most complaints
allege the contractor’s work was
unsatisfactory or that final costs
were more than quoted. Others
claimed repair or billing issues.
You can find a BBB accredited contractor at checkbbb.org.
These businesses have committed to meeting BBB Standards
for Trust. For any business, go to
bbb.org to check the company’s
BBB Business Review for a history of complaints, advertising
issues, licensing information,
and customer reviews.
Once you have a list of contractors to contact, BBB advises:
• Check work history and
references. Ask for a list of
references to get an idea of how
familiar the contractor is with
your type of project. A contractor
should be able to give you names
and phone numbers of at least
three clients with projects like
yours. Ask each client how long
ago the project was and whether
it was completed on time.
• Ask about payment options. Don’t pay large upfront
fees. Try to arrange a low down
payment and only pay according to how much work has been
completed. Do not make the
final payment until the job is
completed and the final project
meets your standards. Always
pay with either a credit card or
check, never cash.
• Get multiple bids. It’s best
Cuellar receives 2015 Outstanding
Alumni Award from American
Association of Community Colleges
By Rafael Benavides
Congressman Henry Cuellar
was awarded the 2015 Outstanding Alumni Award at the
2015 American Association of
Community Colleges (AACC)
Annual Convention in San
Antonio. The award is given to
individuals nominated by their
community college who have
excelled in their field and given
back to their community. Cuellar was in Washington voting
the day of the award ceremony,
but submitted a video thanking
AACC for the honor.
Acceptance video transcript:
“Thank you to the American
Association of Community Colleges for awarding me the 2015
Outstanding Alumni Award. I
regret that I could not be with
you in San Antonio because I’m
in D.C. voting, but I thank Dr.
Shirley Reed, President of South
Texas College, for accepting
this award on my behalf. As a
community college graduate
myself, having begun my higher
education at Laredo Community
College, I truly believe in the
great value and quality education our community colleges
provide not only universitybound students, but everyone in
the community who would like
workforce training or further
pursue an educational interest.
Our local community colleges
open the doors to opportunity
for all people across our country. Thank you again for this
LOCK & GO
Lic. #B12044
honor, and I look forward to our
continued work.”
Cuellar was nominated by Dr.
Shirley Reed, President of South
Texas College, who accepted
the award on Cuellar’s behalf.
Cuellar is a graduate Laredo
Junior College (now Laredo
Community college), where he
studied political science from
1974 to 1976 and earned his
associates degree Summa Cum
Laude.
After graduating from Laredo
Junior College, Cuellar went on
to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in
Foreign Service from Georgetown University in Washington
D.C., a Master’s Degree in
International Trade from Texas
A&M International University,
and a law degree and Ph.D. in
government from the University
of Texas. Today, Dr. Cuellar is
known to be the “most degreed
member of Congress.”
Cuellar recognizes the important role community colleges
play in our local communities,
offering many Texas students
access to academic programs
and technical trainings they
wouldn’t otherwise have access
to, and providing an affordable
route to a four-year college degree. Forty percent of college
students are enrolled at one
of America’s more than 1,000
community colleges, and by
2020, an estimated 35 percent
of job openings will require at
least a bachelor’s degree and
30 percent will require some
college or an associate’s degree.
It is because of this, and his personal experience in community
college, that has made access
to quality, affordable education
like that which our community
colleges offer, a major priority
throughout Cuellar’s career at
both the state and federal levels.
When in the Texas state legislature Cuellar was a champion and original author of the
landmark TEXAS Grant, which
is the largest scholarship program in Texas history. With the
TEXAS grant, more students are
now enrolling and graduating
from colleges and universities
across the State of Texas. Cuellar continues to be an advocate
at the federal level as U.S. Congressman for the 28th District
of Texas.
to get bids from at least three
companies. Get all bids in writing, as well as a full description
of the services to be provided
and the materials to be used.
You may wish to specify the
grade or thickness of materials
to be used, as this could affect
the bid.
• Find out about permit
requirements. Depending on
where you live, your building
project may require a permit.
Additions or alterations to your
home may also affect title transfers or insurance requirements
should you ever decide to sell
your home. Beware of contractors who ask you to obtain
a permit on their behalf. The
party that obtains the permit is
ultimately held responsible for
work that does not meet city
code.
Find out if the contractor is
insured. Ask for copies of insurance certificates and make sure
they’re current, or you could
be held liable for any injuries
and damages that occur during
the project. The Federal Trade
Commission recommends contractors have personal liability,
worker’s compensation and
property damage coverage.
Some other things to consider:
• Licensing. Use only licensed trade contractors. Do
your homework on what trade
contractors need to be licensed
by researching on Texas state
government websites.
• Review warranty coverage.
Find out if the company offers
any type of warranty or guarantee on their work and make
certain you understand the terms
and conditions. Make sure the
warranty information is included
in the contract you sign.
• Carefully read and understand the contract. Most home
remodeling and/or repairs will
be done under contract. Make
sure everything agreed upon/
promised is included and written in the contract. Do not sign a
contract with blanks. This leaves
room for contractors to go back
through and fill in additional
information that you might not
agree with. Make sure to get a
copy of everything you sign.
List of supporters growing
I am excited to announce
that I have officially earned
the support of former mayor
Henry Cisneros. Mayor Cisneros along with so many other community and neighborhood leaders are supporting
me because they know how
much we have accomplished
in District 3 since I took office. I have increased funding
for streets and sidewalks and
have over $100 million in
street and sidewalks projects
underway or scheduled. I am
working to find every dollar
possible to fix our streets and
will never take money away
for anything else.
During city budget sessions, I was able to secure a
26 percent increase in funding
for street repair from 2013
to 2014, and a 34 percent
increase in funding for sidewalks in that same period.
In addition, since I have
served on city council, we
have seen over $250 million in economic develop-
ment, private investment, and
neighborhood revitalization
in District 3. That means we
are growing good jobs locally
and creating opportunities.
Public safety has also been
a priority for me. For that reason, we’ve seen the most stray
animals picked up and most
spay/neuter surgeries ever in
District 3. I hosted the Big
Fix at the Bode Center and
other similar events where
nearly 400 FREE spay/neuter
services were provided for
cats and dogs. And, I worked
with Highlands High School
Voices for Animals on the
Silver & Black Give Back
Team Up Challenge. I’m so
proud they were among the
winners of the contest.
With our families’ health
and fitness in mind, I initiated the annual D3 Fall 5K
Family Fun Run & Walk that
was FREE to the community,
so entire families could participate. I was so glad to see
Siclovía brought south so our
neighborhoods could take
part in this outdoor event.
And, I could not not be prouder about opening a SPARK
Park at Adams Elementary,
and two new Kaboom parks
for our area children.
These are just a few of the
great things we’ve accomplished together since I took
office.
The progress we are making
is why I have earned the support of six elected officials,
three business organizations,
four labor unions, and seven
neighborhood association
presidents. It’s also why my
opponents are spreading lies
and attacking the work we’ve
accomplished together.
Please join Mayor Cisneros,
19 other community leaders
and thousands of your neighbors and vote for me. Early
voting starts Monday, April
27 and runs through Tuesday,
May 5.

Hispanic Chamber leads San
Antonio trade leaders to Spain
By Michael Vela
The San Antonio Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce (SAHCC)
is conducting its annual Trade
Mission to Spain, April 21-26,
2015, with a delegation from San
Antonio to visit the cities of Madrid and Sevilla. Key economic
development partners on the trade
mission include the Hispanic
Chamber, Abengoa, the City of
San Antonio, Cámara Sevilla and
San Antonio Water System.
On this particular trade mission, the delegation will focus
on the water technology industry’s business opportunities,
which will include a signing
ceremony between San Antonio
Water System and Abengoa, and
will signify the launch of the
Vista Ridge water project. The
Vista Ridge project will transport
16.3 billion gallons of new nonEdwards Aquifer water yearly
to San Antonio from Burleson
County.
“We are looking forward to
witnessing a historic signing
ceremony between San Antonio
Water System and Abengoa,”
said Ramiro Cavazos, SAHCC
President & CEO. “The Hispanic
Chamber has worked very closely
with both entities to ensure that
we bring the best business back
to San Antonio, which will boost
our local workforce, and will also
secure our city’s future water
supply.”
Some of the other Spain Trade
Mission highlights will include
a visit to the Focus Abengoa
Foundation, and a U.S. Embassy
reception at the residence of U.S.
Ambassador James Costos.
This trade mission will have
the support and involvement of
numerous local and statewide
civic and business leaders. The
key objective of this trade mission is to maintain and foster
existing trade relations for San
Antonio, learn about best practices for local initiatives, explore
new projects and opportunities
for local businesses, while encouraging company relocations
to South Texas and our City.

Kawhi Leonard...
“Nunca habíamos recibido un
medio de transporte de nuevo
modelo. Los Spurs y Leonard
han sido benevolentes eligiendo
a Respite Care of San Antonio
como el recipiente del emotivo
donativo. Este fin de semana
nos va a servirá bastante ya que
se tiene planeado realizar paseos
recreativos para nuestros niños.
Estamos muy agradecidos y felices”, expresó Pfiester.
La selección
En el proceso de la elección del
“KIA NBA Defensive Player of
the Year Award” participaron un
selecto grupo de 129 periodistas
deportivos, entre ellos, reporte­
ros, columnistas y narradores que
cubren la fuente de la NBA en
Estados Unidos y Canadá.
En en la elección, Kawhi
Leonard alcanzó 37 votos en el
primer lugar, con 333 puntos
otorgados por el grupo arriba
citado; dejando en el segundo
lugar a Draymond Green, que
es delantero estelar de Warriors.
Green obtuvo 45 votos en
primer lugar y 317 puntos.
En el tercer lugar finalizó el
poste angelino DeAndre Jordan
con 261 puntos y 32 sufragios por
el primer lugar.
En boletín informativo, la
NBA explicó que los jugadores
en esta elección obtuvieron cinco
puntos por cada voto en el primer
lugar, así como tres puntos por
cada voto en el segundo lugar y
un punto por cada voto recibido
por el tercer lugar.
Leonard se convirtió en el sexto
alero en comandar la NBA en una
temporada, adjudicándose más
robos de balón por partido jugado,
desde que la liga comenzó a llevar
estadísticas en esa rama desde
hace 42 años, que vienen a ser
los mismos que tienen los Spurs
afiliados a la National Basketball
Association (NBA).
Con su elección, Leonard
viene a ser el segundo jugador
(viene de la página 1-A)
de los Spurs que recibe la honorable distinción como jugador
defensivo del año. En la temporada de 1991-92 el premio fue
ganado por “The Admiral”, el
poste David Robinson, quien se
retiró tras haberle dado un par
de campeonatos a la franquicia
Silver & Black en las temporadas
de 1999 y el 2003.
Kawhi Leonard cursó estudios
en San Diego State University del
2009 al 2011.
En el 2011 NBA Draft fue
elegido por los Pacers de Indiana,
siendo de inmediato canjeado
a los Spurs por el derecho de
los jugadores Erazem Lorbek y
Davis Bertaus, e intercambiado
por el guardia George Hill, por lo
que en su carrera de cuatro años
en la organización de los Spurs
tiene marca personal de 2.31
robos y 5.9 rebotes defensivos,
con lo que ha colaborado en la
estrategia de defensa del equipo
de San Antonio.

Breaking Barriers for
Girls in San Antonio
By Laura Villarreal
Girls Incorporated of San Antonio works to inspire girls across
San Antonio to be strong, smart
and bold through innovative
and empowering activities. The
organization achieves this goal
through programs such as the
upcoming Girls Rockit to the
Future Science Festival. This
year’s Science Festival
is presented by Rackspace and Tesoro on
Saturday, May 2
from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
at Heroes
Stadium
(4799
Thousand Oaks
Dr., San
Antonio, TX,
78233). The free,
family-friendly event introduces
youth, especially girls, to the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) and provides a positive
and encouraging environment to
develop an enthusiasm for STEM.
The U.S. Department of Commerce states that women are
vastly underrepresented in STEM
jobs despite making up nearly
half of college-educated, U.S.
workforce. We believe that more
women would pursue these careers if given a supportive and experiential environment to explore
their true potential. The goal of
Girls Inc.’s STEM program is to
develop girls’ enthusiasm for and
skills in STEM, so that they may
come to view careers in
these
fields
as exciting and
realistic options for themselves.
The Girls Inc. Rockit to the
Future Science Festival provides
an opportunity for girls and
boys of all ages to participate in
hands-on, interactive experiments
and activities hosted by over 30
different corporations, agencies,
and organizations. Girls Inc. of
San Antonio President and CEO,
Lea Rosenauer shares, “We are

Este año, el festival se llevó a

presentaciones musicales de varios
artistas talentosos.

Gun safety and Alzheimer’s
By Meg Barron
Alzheimer’s Association
Although the person with Alzheimer’s might have once been
able to handle a gun, serious
accidents can occur. The use
of firearms requires complex
mental skills that are usually
lost in early dementia.
Statistics
One half of all American
homes have one or more firearms.
Studies indicate that physically aggressive behavior has
been found to occur in 30 to
50 percent of people with Alzheimer’s disease. The presence
of firearms could contribute to
the serious consequences of
such behavior. Assault by persons with dementia can result
in psychiatric hospitalization.
While not dementia specific,
one study found that about
one-fifth of geriatric psychiatric
admission on a particular unit
studied had just used some form
of weapon during an assault.
Studies also found that in
more than 60 percent of the
homes where guns were present, family members reported
that the guns were loaded or
that they were unaware of their
loaded status. This was despite
dementia severity, severity of
depression, or perceived incompetence of the person with dementia living in the household.
Based on the following
source: Spangenberg, K., Wagner, M., Hendrix, S. & Bachman, D. (October 1999) Firearm presence in households
of patients with Alzheimer’s
disease and related dementias,
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. 47 (10) 11831186.
Suggested gun safety tips
Guns must be put in a safe
place. The best course of action
is to lock the gun in a cabinet
or drawer, or remove the gun
from the house. Don’t allow
the patient unsupervised access
to a gun.
Based on the following
source: Safety Fact Sheet,
Alzheimer’s Association,
ED247ZSA
It is not sufficient just to unload guns and rifles or place a
trigger lock on them.
Based on the following
source: Warner, Mark. The
Complete Guide to Alzheimer’s
Proofing Your Home. Purdue
University Press. 382-383
Even without a gun, ammunition is still dangerous if subjected to the right conditions: a
fireplace, stove, furnace, oven,
microwave oven, disposal,
hammer, etc. Remove both
weapons and ammunition.

Ask for outside assistance in
talking with your loved one.
If necessary, ask your doctor
or clergyperson to explain to
the affected person’s hunting
buddies that hunting is now
too dangerous for him. Ask the
local police or sheriff’s department if they can help dispose of
a gun or rifle if you do not know
how to do so.

Children’s Hospital of San Antonio
to open first free-standing
pediatric emergency center
By JoAnn King
Experts in pediatric emergency care will soon arrive in
Westover Hills to staff a new
Emergency Center dedicated to
caring for children. The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio
hosted a grand opening celebration today featuring a ribbon
cutting ceremony and blessing
of the new Center located on the
campus of CHRISTUS Santa
Rosa – Westover Hills. The
city’s first full-service freestanding Emergency Center
for children opens on April 28,
2015, at 7 a.m.
“We are very blessed to be
able to bring a children’s emergency center to one of the
fastest growing areas of Bexar
County. There are 133,000
children living in Westover
Hills right now and that figure
is expected to grow by six percent over the next five years,”
said Elias Neujahr, President,
Children’s Hospital of San
See Gun on page 11-A
Antonio. “This Center gives
parents peace of mind knowing
that specially trained pediatric
emergency personnel are available close to home and around
the clock. This Center is another
example of our promise to San
Antonio that our children will
always be first.”
“Since opening in 2009, the
Emergency Department staff at
CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – Westover Hills has provided outstanding emergency services to both adult and pediatric
patients from the community.
This new Center will ensure that
children now have access to an
exceptional and rapidly growing
network of care that is part of
the Children’s Hospital of San
Antonio,” said Jeff Bourgeois,
FACHE, President and Administrator, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa
Hospital – Westover Hills.
“The pediatric Emergency
Center at Westover Hills will
be able to treat a wide range
of conditions from respiratory problems to trauma. We
have a highly experienced and
trained staff just for children.
When necessary, a child may
be transferred to our Hospital
downtown to ensure the highest level of care is provided,”
said Dr. Kris Rittichier, Chief
of Emergency Medicine, Children’s Hospital of San Antonio.
“This new space has 10 private
rooms, a designated trauma
room, and imaging and labora-
tory services on site.”
The opening of the Emergency Center marks a significant
milestone in the development
of world-class pediatric care
by the Children’s Hospital of
San Antonio. In the past two
years, more than 170 pediatric
subspecialists have been recruited including physicians in
cardiology, critical care, epileptology, hematology/oncology,
pulmonology, orthopedics, and
much more with two pediatric
subspecialty centers now open
with more planned for the future. The Children’s Hospital
of San Antonio Physician Group
has four locations across the
city to ensure children receive
regular checkups and preventative health care.
“We encourage families to
have a primary care doctor for
their children to take care of
routine checkups and consultations for urgent care situations
during office hours,” said Dr.
Rittichier. “But, when children
suffer head injuries, severe
bleeding, difficulty breathing, potential poisoning, unexplained severe abdominal
pain, high fevers, or loss of
consciousness, the emergency
team is here for children 24/7.

NewsUSA - As you grow older,
being physically active is one of
the most important things you can
do to stay healthy. Whether you’re
well into your golden years, a baby
boomer or younger, studies show
regular exercise can lower your
risk of heart disease, some cancers,
diabetes and dementia. It also
helps improve your mood, energy
level and overall well-being.
“The great thing is, no matter
what your age, size or fitness level,
it’s never too late to start exercising,” said Jaza Marina, M.D.,
a Kaiser Permanente physician
who specializes in elder care. “We
strongly recommend seniors do
exercises that maintain strength,
balance and flexibility. Our goal
is to reduce their risk of falls and
injuries, so they can stay healthy
and independent.”
Dr. Marina advises that good
ways to exercise include low-impact aerobic activity, swimming,
tai chi and yoga if you’re physically able. “We have 80-year-olds
who run 5k or 10k races. Everyone
is different, so pick an exercise that
you enjoy.”
She believes walking is probably the easiest exercise. All you
need is 30 minutes a day, five times
a week. If that’s too much, you can
break that up -- 10 minutes in the
morning, 10 in the afternoon, and
10 in the evening. Some seniors
walk at their local indoor shopping mall.
“The important thing is to get
off the recliner, turn off the T.V.
and get active,” said Dr. Marina.
Below are four basic exercises to
get you started.
1. Knee bends. Holding on to a
sturdy chair or counter at your side,
keep your back straight, feet on the
ground and gently bend your knees
and lower your body. Then, raise
your body back up. It’s a slight
squat but not a deep one. Repeat
10-15 times.
2. Heel raises. Holding on to a
chair or counter at your side, raise
up on toes slowly and then lower
the heels to the ground slowly.
Heel raises strengthen the calf
muscles. Repeat 10-15 times.
3. Side leg raises. Holding on
to a chair or counter at your side,
raise one leg out to the side and
bring it back down. Repeat 10-15
times and switch to other leg.
4. Sit to stand. If you’re able --
sit in a chair and rise to a standing
position with arms stretched in
front of you. Make sure the chair
is in a stable position or against a
wall so it won’t fall over. Sit back
down and repeat 10 times.
Kaiser Permanente offers exercise classes at several of its
medical facilities. To find classes
in your area and for further information about these exercises,
visit kp.org. Also, talk with your
physician before starting a new
exercise routine.
Performing simple exercises as you age can help you stay healthy
and independent. (Courtesy photo)

Mi frustración fue en aumento.

No hice caso de quedarme,

El cambio de doctor recientemente me dejó frustrado. No fue
que yo lo hubiera decidido, sino
que en la clínica o consultorio
médico en el que él –por espacio
de diez años– me estuvo dando
tratamiento médico aceptó sorpresivamente su renuncia, ya
que él decidió abrir su propio
consultorio.
Con días previos a mi acostumbrada cita de chequeo personal,
por correo me llegó la notificación de que mi doctor personal
había causado baja en la lista
de doctores que ahí prestan sus
valiosos servicios médicos.
“Por este conducto, señor
Franco, le hacemos saber que el
doctor que usted veía en cada una
de sus citas dejará de trabajar para
nuestra clínica. Por lo que le recomendamos ponerse en contacto
con nuestra oficina para que haga
los arreglos correspondientes en

Las autoridades sanitarias señalaron que han iniciado el proceso de investigación de la vacuna, a

en el alcoholismo y a controlar la

En los momentos que estuve
leyendo la notificación, mi
sistema sanguíneo comenzó a
acelerarse y mi ansiedad fue en
aumento.
En seguida acudí a la clínica
para hacer una cita ese mismo día,
a lo cual el personal encargado de
hacer las citas me dio a conocer
que el consultorio ya no aceptará
que los pacientes hagamos citas

14 percent of our citizens carry
this diagnosis. This correlates
closely with the very high rate
of obesity in our city. As a
community, we must find ways
presents
to decrease the prevalence of
this disease and to ensure that
the disease is managed effectively.
Adult-onset, or type 2 diabetes, occurs because the body
is not able to use insulin normally. Insulin is produced by
the pancreas and allows the
cells in our body to take up
and utilize glucose from our
bloodstream. If our body is
resistant to insulin, the glucose
level in our bloodstream, or
“blood sugar,” rises, and we
are at risk for developing many
diabetes complications. Poorly
controlled diabetes can lead to
the development of plaques, or
atherosclerosis, in the lining
of our blood vessels, and, over
time, these plaques can lead to
arterial blockages. This process
can occur in the heart, brain,
kidneys, and limbs, resulting
in heart attack, stroke, kidney
failure, and amputation.

sistema sanguíneo de quienes la
toman o la siguen consumiendo.
Yo para darle un descanso
a los riñones, hígado, sistema
sanguíneo y digestivo, opté por
abandonar dicho tratamiento.
En cuanto al cambio de doctor,
ahora necesito prepararme mentalmente para aceptar al nuevo
doctor o asistente que estará al
frente de mi expediente médico.
Presiento que conmigo van a
comenzar de nuevo, para conocer
mis enfermedades y estar al tanto
sobre que recetas me van a seguir
prescribiendo.
Lo mejor de todo es que acabo
de comprar un nuevo plan de seguro de salud y otro de vida. Ambas pólizas son bastantes caras,
me cuestan más de lo que es mi
salario, pero tengo que cumplir
con la “Obamacare”, para evitar
se me multe pagando impuestos
estratosféricos simplemente por
no tener cobertura de salud. Ni
modo así es el sistema que impera actualmente en la industria
de la salud.
Ojalá y que mi exdoctor lo-
gre pronto acumular una buena
cartera de pacientes. Sé que él
es un doctor hecho y derecho,
no se anda por las ramas, presta
un excelente servicio médico y
es paciente con sus “pacientes”.
En caso de no quedar satisfecho con los servicios que se
me den en el consultorio al que
asisto, entonces veré la forma de
que mi expediente médico sea
trasladado a la nueva clínica que
opera y administra mi exgaleno.
Si así lo decido, tendré que acostumbrarme a la ruta de mi casa al
consultorio, ya que su clínica se
encuentra en el sector norte de
San Antonio, que cada día registra enormes embotellamientos
en sus diversas rutas. A mí los
embotellamientos por el tráfico
me causan trastornos mentales.
Todo ello como herencia que me
dejo la tomada. Mi alcoholismo
es crónico y lo he venido controlando por los últimos quince
años gracias al apoyo del sistema
judicial, la ciencia médica y el
amor de mi familia. Hasta la
próxima D.M.

neighbors think? What would
the police do, maybe not realizing that your family member
has Alzheimer’s disease?
The same scenario could
happen with knives or other
weapon collections, even if they
are far from the ammunition
that would make them operable.
Also consider toy guns that look
real enough to be convincing,
even to the police, or real pistols with locks that can still be
picked up and carried.

health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research.
Our mission is to eliminate
Alzheimer’s disease through

Diabetes and obesity
hypertension, high cholesterol,
obstructive sleep apnea, and
acid reflux. The control of obesity leads to improvement and,
in most cases, resolution of
these diseases. Unfortunately,
the control of obesity remains
extremely challenging.
The severity of obesity is
determined by one’s body
mass index, or BMI, which
takes into account weight and
height. Above a BMI of 35
with obesity-related diseases
like diabetes, or above a BMI
of 40 without these diseases, a
patient falls into the category of
“morbidly obese.” This means
that their obesity level puts
them at high risk for developing things like heart disease,
stroke, and even some types
of cancer. Life expectancy is
decreased in these patients.
Medical therapy and attempts at nonsurgical weight
loss are the logical first steps in
fighting this disease. But, in the
morbidly obese category, many
patients experience insufficient weight loss or bounce
back to their original weight
after a brief period of success.
In these cases, the health risk of
remaining morbidly obese will
exceed the risk of weight loss
surgery, and surgery should be
seriously considered.
The risk of surgery has decreased significantly over the
past several decades, with new
technologies and techniques
leading to lower morbidity
and improved outcomes. All
operations are now performed
laparoscopically, through
small incisions that decrease
postoperative pain and speed
up recovery time compared to
the open approach. Bariatric
procedures have been clearly
proven to improve glucose
levels and to control other
cardiovascular risk factors,
including hypertension and
high cholesterol. Diabetes
complications can be avoided
with bariatric surgery.

Keeping it all

Number one in our hearts and
number one in the league!
I could be talking about the
Spurs, but actually, when do you
ever hear about the people who
are giving you every play-by-play
commentary? Well, if you’re a
Spurs fan, the names Bill Land
and Sean Elliot might sound
familiar.
The dynamic duo provide the
play-by-play and the color commentary for the Spurs on the Fox
Sports Southwest network or any
other broadcasting channels for
Spurs games during the season
and the first three rounds of the
playoffs.
This year they were again the
highest rated broadcast team in
the entire NBA among all local
broadcasting teams. For the past
13 years, they have been either
first or second in ratings. Spurs
fans love hearing Bill Land’s
excitement when the players
make big shots. In particular, one
popular phrase Land likes to use
is “Mamma Mia!” when a Spur
knocks down a three pointer or
when a powerful dunk is thrown
down.
His quirkiness and playful
word-play to describe what is
happening as the Spurs play
adds entertainment and gives the
audience a feeling as if they are
listening to a friend while viewing
the game. Bill Land is not fully
Bill Land without his counterpart
Sean Elliot.
Elliot, a former Spurs player,
was an outstanding player and
will forever be known for his
Memorial Day Miracle but now,
he’s leaving a different legacy
behind. Having a playful side as
well makes for great entertainment when partnering up to call
a Spurs game. Although having
been retired and off the Spurs
team, players still poke fun at
Elliot in their pre-game, particularly, current Spurs forward Tim
Duncan.
During the pre-game show,
Elliot and Land sit on the court,
facing a camera, with Spurs
warming up before the game in
the background. Jokingly, Duncan as well as some other players
like Manu Ginobili will poke fun
at Elliot. Duncan will at times tap
him on the head or run into him
on purpose. Ginobili has actually interrupted the broadcasting
team’s pre-game talk before by
grabbing Elliot’s microphone or
talking into.
Elliot has respect for and from
the Spurs players getting treatment as if he is still one of the
guys. Having played with Duncan
and the older Spurs players, current and former, along with playing under Coach Gregg Popovich,
Elliot knows this Spurs team
and organization. Elliot can give

Spurs no bajan la guardia vs. Clippers
Por José I. Franco
[email protected]
En los partidos que le restan
por jugar ante su rival de cuartos
de final, Clippers de Los Ángeles, los Spurs tendrán que sacar
los “cañones” para mostrar su
ofensiva, como lo hicieron en
el segundo partido en el Staples
Center, donde emparejaron la
serie 1-1 con victoria de 111 a
107 en partido que se extendió a
5 minutos de tiempo extra.
Spurs y Clippers continúan
empatados en ganados y perdidos
en lo que va de la temporada
y playoffs con 3 partidos por
bando, por lo que seguirán combatiendo con todo en su serie
del playoff en la Conferencia
del Oeste.
Los Spurs, equipo pentacampeón de la NBA, con la experiencia que le caracteriza al timonel
en jefe Gregg Popovich tendrá
que retomar el vuelo y cerrar
filas en sus aspiraciones por
seguir defendiendo la corona de
monarca en el mejor baloncesto
del planeta.
Los sanantonianos lograron
clasificarse en el sexto lugar de
la tabla general en el oeste con
marca de 55 victorias y 27 derrotas, pero no han podido recuperar
su ritmo ganador, ya que llevaban
un par de derrotas consecutivas.
Ahora que ya probaron de
nuevo las mieles de la victoria
con su primera victoria en la serie de cuartos de final del oeste,
tendrán que remontar el vuelo en
su ofensiva y defensiva.
El trío, formado por el alero
titular Tim Duncan, el guardia
francés Tony Parker y el escolta
argentino y sexto hombre Manu
Ginóbili, sigue sosteniendo toda
la carga del equipo sobre sus
hombros.
Por igual, la tercia rival angelina integrada por el guardia
Chris Paul, el poste DeAndre
Jordan y el espectacular alero
Blake Griffin tienen las misma
responsabilidades de ganar partidos para avanzar a la segunda
ronda (semifinales del oeste).
Las dos tercias se vieron bastante dominantes en el segundo
partido. Tras un buen descanso
se desempolvaron encestando y
Tony Parker, Tim Duncan y Manu Ginóbili continúan cargando con el peso del equipo en los playoffs del oeste contra el duro rival
Clippers de Los Ángeles, que se ha superado para dar la pelea ante los mejores equipos de la NBA. (Foto, Franco)
repartiendo el balón. Sobresalió
la quinteta Silver & Black en
el tiempo extra con desempeño
del escolta suplente el guardia
australiano Patty Mills, quien
continua siendo la carta fuerte
de Popovich en partidos claves
como son los playoffs.
Partido dominical
Este domingo 26 de abril, en
su cuarta confrontación pactada
para las 2:30 p.m. con transmisión por la cadena ABC, los
Spurs tendrán que echarle ganas
a cuanta estrategia les sea ordenada por el entrenador en jefe
Gregg Popovich.
Pop tiene que emprender estrategias para detener los ataques
de la tercia angelina que han
brillado con luz propia ante su
afición en el Staples Center y en
calidad de visitantes en el AT&T
Center donde, en los dos partidos
que sostuvieron dentro del rol
regular, se vieron apoyados por
un selecto grupo de seguidores
que orgullosos vistieron sus colores y playeras con los números 3
de Paul, 32 de Griffin y 6 Jordan.
Spurs simplemente no debe bajar
la guardia y seguir adelante con
su plan de juego.
“El segundo partido fue bastante diferente al primero, ambos
equipos estuvimos lentos por el
descanso. Nosotros en la segunda
cita nos apoyamos en un plan de
juego que nos dio buen resultado”, comentó el capitán Tim
Duncan, quien llegó a los 150
partidos jugados en series del
playoff logrados en un periodo
de 18 temporadas con el mismo
equipo (Duncan este sábado
cumplirá 39 años de edad).
Clippers desde la llegada del
entrenador en jefe Doc Rivers,
en el 2013, obtuvo su primer
banderín de campeón en la División Pacífico y su segundo
estandarte en la campaña 2014.
Rivers, quien además firma
como presidente de operaciones
de baloncesto, en la pasada temporada se quedó cortó por lograr
la captura de lo que hubiera sido
su tercer banderín del Pacífico,
ya que fueron superados por
los Warriors de Golden West
que –con su exorbitante marca
de 67 victorias y 15 derrotas–
barrieron coronándose campeón
del Pacífico y de la Conferencia
del Oeste.
Clippers obtuvo 56 victorias
por 26 derrotas, una marca efectiva que por coincidencia volvió
a sembrarlos como terceros en la
Conferencia del Oeste, lo cual les
viene a dar la esperanza de ser
quienes salgan adelante y puedan
disputar la semifinal al rival que
les toque.
Por lo pronto, los angelinos
tendrán que dar cuenta de los
Spurs, al que deben ganarles
la serie pactada a ganar 4 de 7
partidos.
La moneda está en el aire y solo
queda ver que los Spurs realicen
su propia hazaña. A partir de este
domingo 26 de abril restan cuatro
partidos por jugarse.
El quinto partido se jugará en
el Staples Center el martes 28 con
horario por determinarse.
El sexto partido, de ser necesario, se disputará en San Antonio
el jueves 30, y si para entonces
todavía la serie sigue viva, el
séptimo encuentro será en Los
Ángeles el sábado 2 de mayo.
El equipo Spurs, en sus 42 años
afiliado a la NBA, ha logrado la
conquista de 20 banderines de la
división suroeste, 6 campeonatos
de la Conferencia Oeste y 5 títulos de liga.
En la defensa de su campeonato,
los Spurs no se “mataron” jugando duro, sino todo lo contrario: se concentraron para
llegar sanos y salvos a puerto
seguro ganando 55 y perdiendo
27 de los 82 partidos jugados en
el rol regular de la temporada
2014-15.
$101.5 million package approved for AT&T renovations
By Laura Jesse
Commissioners Court on Tuesday, April 21, approved a development agreement with Spurs Sports
& Entertainment to complete a
$101.5 million package of renovations and improvements to the
County-owned AT&T Center.
The project, which will begin in
June, is intended to enhance the
fan experience at all levels of
the AT&T Center and includes
improvements to technology and
infrastructure that will keep the
arena a successful and competitive
operation.
The County’s $85 million portion of the project will come from
the voter-approved visitor tax,
which is a combination of a five
percent short-term motor vehicle
rental tax and a 1.75 percent hotel/
motel occupancy tax. Spurs Sports
& Entertainment will contribute
$16.5 million.
“The AT&T Center renovations
are the last of the entire $415 million visitor tax program that we
asked voters to approve in May
2008,” said Commissioner Paul
Elizondo. “At that time, the arena
was not yet 10 years old and we
made a commitment to wait until
we reached that milestone.”
The renovations will include
more inviting spaces for fans
such as new concessions and bar
areas, reconfiguring the home
team locker room, installation of
all-new seating arena-wide and
expanded entrances and renovated
concourses to allow for better entry and movement through the facility. Technology improvements
include a brand new center-hung
video board that will provide a
state-of-the-art, high-definition
display; audio-visual upgrades
throughout the arena; and Wi-Fi
enhancements. A majority of the
renovations are expected to be
complete by October 30, 2015.
“We’re appreciative of the
support Bexar County and our
AT&T center south exterior rendering. (Courtesy photo)
additional partners have provided
as we continue to move forward
in this renovation process,” said
Lori Warren, Spurs Sports &
Entertainment SVP of Corporate Finance and Strategy. “The
majority of these renovations
will begin at the conclusion of
the Spurs and Rampage seasons.
We’re excited to be able to present
an all-new AT&T Center to our
fans this fall.”
The development agreement,
which also has to be approved by
the Community Arenas Board,
sets goals for participation by
local minority, women- and
veteran-owned businesses.

El club de hockey profesional
Rampage de San Antonio, afiliado a la American Hockey League
(AHL), recientemente anunció
acuerdo para ser sucursal por
cinco años del plantel Avalanche
de Colorado, equipo afiliado a la
National Hockey League (NHL).
En los acuerdos de unir ambas
franquicias estuvieron presentes
Rick Pych, quien funge como
presidente de Spurs Sports &
Entertainment (SS&E), y Joe
Sakic, vicepresidente ejecutivo y
gerente general de Avalanche de
Colorado. Este acuerdo finalizará
en la temporada 2019-20.
En boletín informativo, Pych
indicó que “se llegó a excelente
acuerdo de trabajar con directivos de Colorado Avalanche, con
quienes comenzaremos a trabajar
conjuntamente para estar listos en
la siguiente temporada 2015-16
de la AHL. Bajo el liderato de dos
grandes exjugadores de hockey,
Joe Sakic y Patrick Roy que han
sido inmortalizados en el Hockey
Hall of Fame, Avalanche, se ha
comprometido a proporcionarle
al Rampage jugadores novatos
y prospectos con grandes habilidades, ya que esa siempre ha sido
su meta, de producir jugadores
que han guiado a Colorada a dos
campeonatos de la Stanley Cup”,
afirmó Pych.
Colorado (Avalanche) aportará a San Antonio (Rampage)
todos los jugadores que estarán
dentro de la alineación estelar y
suplentes, así como al entrenador
en jefe, asistentes y personal de
operaciones del hockey.
Avalanche será el tercer club
de la NHL al que Rampage estará
afiliado como sucursal en los
trece años que tiene jugando en
el circuito de la AHL que viene a
ser la antesala al hockey nacional
(profesional). San Antonio en
el pasado fue sucursal de los
Coyotes de Phoenix, de 2005
al 2011, así como de Panthers
de Florida en el 2002 al 2005, y
desde el 2011 al 2015.
Pych dijo que el nuevo gerente
general de Rampage será el ejecutivo Craig Billington, quien funge
como asistente de la gerencia
general de Avalanche.
Billington, quien tiene 13 años
trabajando con Colorado, tendrá
además la responsabilidad de
ser el director de operaciones de
hockey con Rampage.
El viernes 17 de abril Billington fue presentado ante los
medios en San Antonio, dando
respuesta a diversas preguntas
de los reporteros que cubren la
fuente.
“Vamos a trabajar con ganas
entre Rampage y Avalanche para
comenzar con éxito la siguiente
temporada en la que los seguidores de San Antonio van
a tener la oportunidad de ver a
prospectos con futuro de estrellas
en la NHL. Proporcionaremos al
Rampage jugadores de grandes
habilidades y rapidez sobre la
pista de hielo. Sabemos que
SS&E tiene franquicias triunfadoras como lo es el Rampage y
los Spurs, por ello estamos orgullosos de esta nueva sociedad,
que nos dará oportunidades por
desarrollar un gran plantel que
pueda proporcionarle talento al
equipo grande (Avalanche). Esta
es una gran oportunidad para la
expansión del hockey entre ambas entidades”, afirmó Billington.
“Avalanche también va a proporcionarle al Rampage entrenador en jefe en la persona del timonel Dean Chynoweth, quien tiene
experiencia dirigiendo equipos
de la AHL y la NHL. Él será un
directivo de alto rango que gusta
ganar partidos y preparar talento
entre jugadores que han jugado
en diversas ligas con buen nivel
de hockey”, apuntó Billington.
Rampage es campeón de la
división oeste y tercer lugar de
conferencia que se encuentra
disputando los playoffs contra
Barons de Oklahoma City en la
Conferencia del Oeste. El equipo
tuvo una buena temporada bajo
la dirección del entrenador Tom
Rowe y su asistente Scott Allen,
dejándole buen sabor de boca a
la noble afición que durante la
temporada los apoyó y vivió los
buenos resultados que el club le
rindió a Panthers de Florida y la
misma directiva de SS&E, que
preside el magnate Peter M. Holt.
Por su buen trabajo, el ejecutivo Billington por este medio
decidió darle su apoyo al actual
equipo, deseándoles lo mejor a
sus dirigentes y jugadores.
“Colorado Avalanche le desea
éxito al Rampage en su presente
participación en los playoffs,
qué mejor que este año hayan
obtenido una buena campaña.
De todo corazón deseo que sigan adelante por lo que resta del
playoff y que coronen con éxito
su participación en la AHL”, dijo
Billington.
En la foja personal de entrenador Dean Chynweth, de 46 años
de edad, nativo de Calgary, Alberta (Canadá) destaca que jugó
hockey profesional con los clubes
New York Islanders y Boston
Bruins de la NHL.
Él se convertirá en el décimo
timonel en la historia del Rampage.
En los últimos tres años fue
el entrenador en jefe del club
Lake Erie Monsters (AHL), que
finalizó la pasada temporada en el
cuarto lugar de la división medio
oeste y en el noveno escaño de la
Conferencia del Oeste.
Chynoweth, de 2009 al 2012,
trabajó de asistente de entrenador
con N.Y. Islanders. Previamente
había dirigido equipos en la
Western Hockey League (WHL),
donde pasó nueve años al frente
de los equipos Swift Current
Broncos (2004-09), y los Thunderbirds de Seattle en el 2000
al 2004.
De acuerdo a Billington, el
nuevo plantel del Rampage –con
el cambio de sucursal– le dará
mayor estabilidad en la transición, ya que Avalanche cuenta
con una gama de jugadores novatos, prospectos y veteranos que
vendrán a darle a San Antonio la
satisfacción de ser una franquicia que seguirá la continuidad
progresiva a la que la base de
seguidores se ha acostumbrado
por el lapso de 13 años.
“Estamos contentos de haber
anunciado nuestra sociedad con
San Antonio. El Rampage es una
organización que tiene excelente
reputación deportiva y administrativa. Vemos un excelente
futuro para el desarrollo en sus
habilidades de nuestros patinadores prospectos que llegaran a
un buen ambiente y serán bien
recibidos por la comunidad de
San Antonio”, dijo Joe Sakic,
quien supervisa decisiones en la
operación del hockey del club
Avalanche.
Scorpions sign former MLS
Midfielder Joseph Nane
Special to La Prensa
The San Antonio Scorpions
have signed veteran holding
midfielder Joseph Nane, team
President and General Manager Howard Cornifield and
Head Coach Alene Marcina
announced.
“Nane is a player we’ve admired for a while and we’re
certainly familiar with his ability
from playing against him during his time with the Cosmos,”
said Marcina. “He is a fierce
competitor with championship
experience, he is powerful yet
technical with the ball, and he
adds defensive bite to the center
of the park for us. We’re delighted to welcome Nane to the
Scorpions as someone who fits
right in line with the vision we’re
building towards this season.”
The 6’2,” 185lb Nane was
selected in the 2010 Major
League Soccer League (MLS)
SuperDraft by Toronto FC and
made his professional debut
for the Canadian club later that
year. In 2011, he was traded to
the Colorado Rapids and his
MLS resume includes starts in
the CONCACAF Champions
League, the Nutrilite Canadian
Championship, and the MLS
Cup Playoffs in addition to 1,368
minutes played in the regular
season. In 2013, he signed with
the New York Cosmos of the
North American Soccer League
(NASL) and went on to capture
the Soccer Bowl with them
that November. The native of
Yaounde, Cameroon, played collegiate soccer at Old Dominion
University.
The Scorpions also announced
the signing of San Antonio native Matt Cardone. The 6’3”,
215lb goalkeeper attended Trinity University. While there, he

insight for this team unlike other
commentators.
Spurs fans can’t watch or imagine watching a Spurs game without
Bill Land and Sean Elliot. When
it happens, particularly when the
Spurs reach the finals, some fans
lose a slight interest. The national
broadcasters are not biased like our
favorite broadcasters because they
simply can’t be or they will lose
viewers. With those biases, Spurs
fans lose the closeness they have
with local broadcasters and it becomes hard to listen to the negative
comments sometimes said about
the team but, they have to.
Bill Land and Sean Elliot are
not only a dynamic duo for all
broadcasting teams, they’re our
dynamic duo. Putting so much
knowledge and fun into calling
these games they just make it fun
to watch Spurs games. As the
epitome of sports broadcasting, the
guys have a city and an entire fan
base behind them, full of support.
Congratulations Bill and Sean,
you keep us laughing with your
jokes and informed with your
incredible knowledge. You guys
are one heck of a team, just like
our Spurs.

Juan Padilla, presidente y
fundador de Liga Soccer de Los
Altos (LSDA), convoca a nuevos
equipos para que se registren en
la temporada larga de primavera
y verano.
Directivos de equipos ya formados o los que se encuentran
en proceso de integrarse pueden
obtener información llamando al
teléfono (210) 426-4305.
De acuerdo al señor Padilla,
con éxito se dio por concluida
la última jornada el domingo 19
de abril en las canchas del Monterrey Park y Levi Strauss Park,
de donde salieron los equipos
clasificados para jugar la liguilla
a muerte súbita.
En la primera división este
sábado 25 a las 7:15 p.m. se
jugarán su suerte los equipos
Atlético Hidalgo y Real Madrid.
Posteriormente jugarán Club
Deportivo Talgua y el Arsenal
en el horario de las 9 p.m.
En el Levi Strauss Park combatirán hoy domingo 26 de abril
los potentes equipos del Deportivo Juvenil vs. Real Nacional
en el horario de las 4 p.m. en la
Cancha No.2.
A las 6 p.m. ahí mismo Leones
Negros y Deportivo Louisiana se
medirán en tremendo combate.
Los ganadores pasarán a disputarse la gran final que tiene de
premio un donativo económico
por la cantidad de $599, la cual
en la siguiente temporada ha sido
aumentada a los $1,000.
En la división de ascenso a
las 2 p.m. en el campo 2 de Levi
Strauss Park se enfrentarán los
equipos Deportivo Laredo vs.
Atléticos. A las 4 p.m. en la
cancha 3 van Club San Jacinto
y Sandoria.
LSDA desde el año 2010 fue
creada tras cerrar operaciones la
liga Club de Ligas Independientes, la cual estuvo integrada por
25 socios, quedando finalmente
los directivos Juan Padilla y don
Héctor Borrero, quien posteriormente dimitió, dejando a su socio
Padilla encabezando el circuito.
Con el paso del tiempo, el
señor Padilla, por ser originario
de Los Altos, Jalisco, México,
decidió darle un nuevo nombre
bautizándola con éxito como
Liga Soccer de Los Altos, que
en cinco años se ha sostenido
gracias al apoyo que su familia
le ha dado, así como directivos
y propietarios de equipos que la
han respaldado.
“Tenemos dos campeonatos
por año, la razón de darle el
presente nombre a la liga, fue
porque allá en mi tierra el deporte
que más se juega es el fútbol. Así
por estos lares no perderemos la
tradición, como se ha visto en
el tiempo que tengo al frente de
LSDA”, dijo Padilla.
Por cierto que LSDA es un
circuito donde el señor Padilla
no tolera la mala disciplina. Es
por ello que su prestigio en el
balompié regional independiente
continúa atrayendo a clubes que
gustan del buen comportamiento,
y por ello él ha decidido aumentar el monto económico que se
le entrega al equipo que logre
coronarse campeón en la primera
división.
Además de premio económico,
Padilla reparte trofeos al campeón
del torneo de consolación, así
como a los equipos que finalizan
entre los primeros cuatro lugares
en ambas divisiones. E individualmente premia a porteros menos
goleados y a los campeones del
departamento de goleo.

Rieleros doblegaron a Bravos
En un cambio de estadio, la
Liga Dominical Potranco realizó
con éxito una jornada beisbolera
que no se pudo llevar a efecto en
el diamante Coach Arthur Bain
con sede en el complejo deportivo Rusty Lyons Sports Complex, ubicado en la esquina del
500 Basse Road y McCullough
Avenue.
Debido a la humedad existente,
y después de haber revisado el
terreno de juego, el organizador
principal Juan Sánchez decidió
cambiar las acciones al legendario
Estadio Colt 45, donde el administrador señor Manuel Cisneros les
dio todas las facilidades para que
ahí tuvieran su jornada del béisbol
categoría abierta cuya temporada
se está jugando en honor de los
beisbolistas Jesús Carrera y Jorge
Calderón “Shamu”.
Los fanáticos asistentes pudieron
disfrutar de la victoria del trabuco Rieleros que doblegaron a
los Bravos con pizarra de 9 a 5
carreras.
Piratas, los campeones del
primer torneo, blanquearon a
los reforzados Westsiders, que
cayeron con la cara al sol con
score de 5-0.
En el clásico dominical los
Diablos apantallaron a Lobos que
se fueron derrotados con pizarra
de 9-3.
De acuerdo al coordinador
Juan Sánchez, las acciones de
este domingo 26 de abril –si el
terreno de juego está bueno para
jugar– el rol de juegos se jugará
en los horarios normales.
En el primer cotejo a las 10 a.m.
se medirán Bravos y Titanes.
A la 1 p.m. van Lobos y Rieleros, y a las 4 p.m. en el clásico
los Titanes tratarán de anotarse

Catholic Community Foundation installs
members, presents endowment distributions
By Jordan McMorrough
For Today’s Catholic
The Catholic Community
Foundation of the Archdiocese
of San Antonio and the Catholic
Fraternity Fund hosted a Mass
and luncheon April 14 for the
installation of members of The
Good Shepherd Legacy Society
and annual endowment distributions.
Archbishop Gustavo GarcíaSiller, MSpS, was the principal
celebrant at the liturgy, held at
Our Lady’s Chapel on the campus of Assumption Seminary.
The archbishop described the
event as an opportunity of great
joy, to celebrate the generosity
represented by the many who
use the Catholic Community
Foundation (CCF) to enrich the
ministries, parishes, and schools
of the archdiocese.
“We all benefit in some way
by their willingness to ‘become
a little poorer becoming more
like Jesus,’” he said. “In this way
the work that you do reflects the
spirit in the Acts of the Apostles,
when the gifts of our benefactors
are ‘distributed to each according
to their need.’”
Archbishop Gustavo told listeners that it is interesting, but not
surprising, that the early church
would be built on a foundation of
love and sharing.
“This foundation of love and
sharing helped the apostles to
understand that the fruits of Jesus’ resurrection should be the
establishment of God’s Kingdom in which there would be no
‘needy person among them,’”
he explained. “It is obvious that
there is much work to be done in
order to fulfill that promise, but
today is a sign that this spirit of
love that unites us is possible.”
Pope Francis, speaking about
the quality and purpose of stewardship, calls all to be benefactors and recipients, to carry out
missions with faith and dedication. The pontiff said: “Set your
stakes on great ideals, the ideals
that enlarge the heart, the ideals
of service that make your talents
fruitful. Life is not given to us
to be jealously guarded for our-
mon was transformed into the
best, and all were satisfied.”
The archbishop closed by quoting the words of St. Teresa of
Avila, “Christ has no body now
on earth but yours, no hands but
yours. Yours are the eyes through
which he is to go about doing
good. Yours are the hands with
which he is to bless people now.”
Prior to the conclusion of the
Mass, the San Antonio prelate
blessed society inductees Steve
and Adele Dufilho and Mark
and Cynthia Hoffmann were
introduced by Robert B. Aguirre,
CCF president/CEO. Another
inductee, Rosemary Kowalski,
was unable to attend the service.
The Good Shepherd Legacy
Society recognizes individuals
and families who make a minimum commitment of $25,000
through a planned gift, establishing a donor advised fund,
creating an endowment fund,
contributing to an existing ministry, or making a donation to the
ministry of the foundation.
Other members of the group
include Clifton Bolner, Ray
Hannigan, Jeff Jung, Bill and
Margie Klesse, Msgr. Lawrence
J. Stuebben, and Vivian Vance.
Following the liturgy a luncheon was held in St. John’s Hall.
Keynote speaker for the event
was Msgr. Peter Dai Bui of the
Pontifical Council Cor Unum at
the Vatican. The mission of Cor
Unum, meaning “one heart,” is
to carry out the special humanitarian efforts of the church and
the Holy Father. Msgr. Bui is a
priest of the Diocese of Phoenix
and served as a parish pastor
prior to his 2011 assignment to
the Vatican.
During the luncheon, Ruben
Escobedo, chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the Catholic Community Foundation, presented the
2015 Servant Leader Award to
Ruben Hinojosa, chief financial
officer of the archdiocese.
Before the end of the gathering
endowment distributions from
the foundation were awarded to
a number of entities.

selves, but is given to us so that
we may give it in turn.”
Many ministries are enhanced
by the generosity reflected by
the donors to the Catholic Community Foundation.
“Through their gifts that the
foundation will share with you
today, faith is shared in the spirit
of the New Evangelization,” the
archbishop emphasized. “The
homeless are given hope, young
pregnant girls are prepared to
nourish their children physically
and spiritually; Catholic values
are instilled in our children; the
fight for social justice is fortified;
and men who are called to the
priesthood are prepared to answer
God’s call.”
He continued, “It is through
the loving witness of those who
give and those of you who are the
beneficiaries of the work of the
Catholic Community Foundation
that we catechize and evangelize
those we serve and those who
see us, to see in practice Jesus’
message of love.”
In the Gospel reading at the
liturgy, John 3:7-15, Nicodemus
feigned ignorance of what it
means to be born again in the
spirit, and Jesus challenges his
disbelief.
“It is our task to help others to
understand that to be authentic
followers of Jesus we must also
live a life of mercy and love. In
this way we are called to live a
vocation of unity, “Archbishop Gustavo proclaimed. “It is
through your ministries and their
gifts that we help others to truly
connect with our brothers and
sisters who are served through
the faithful use of time, talent,
and treasure.”
The prelate, a Missionary of
the Holy Spirit, said that, as
missionary disciples, all are
entrusted to carry out God’s will
and build his kingdom, and he
called upon attendees to listen to
the words of Mary, the Blessed
Mother, at the wedding at Canaan, as she said, “Do what he
tells you.”
“Some would consider this as
a command, but I think it was
simply her best motherly advice,”
he smiled, “It was then that the
water turned to wine, the com-

“Por hacerla sufrir”
Por Carlos Rey
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:
“Tengo veintiún años. Me casé
de dieciocho, y ahora me estoy
enamorando de una chica por
Internet. Dejé a mi esposa y no
quiero volver con ella. Ella está
sufriendo mucho. Para ella es
muy importante el matrimonio,
y dice que quiere tener un solo
hombre. No puedo volver con
ella, ya que dejé de amarla y
quiero empezar una nueva vida.
¿Será que Dios me castiga por
hacerla sufrir?”.
Este es el consejo que le dio
mi esposa:
“Estimado amigo:
“Nos alegra saber que a usted
le interesa lo que piensa Dios....
Él lo ama a pesar de los errores
que usted ha cometido.
“Cuando dice que para su espo-
sa el matrimonio es muy importante, con eso da a entender que
para usted no lo es. Su actitud no
es sorprendente, ya que es común
que las personas de su edad crean
que el matrimonio es un contrato
como cualquier otro que puede
darse por terminado en cualquier
momento y por cualquier razón....
Pero ese no es el plan de Dios.
“Usted le hizo votos a una
mujer con quien se comprometió
en matrimonio para toda la vida,
y ahora ha cambiado de opinión
y ha decidido quebrantar esos
votos. Ella es víctima del comportamiento impulsivo y egoísta
que usted está manifestando....
Nos entristece profundamente
el dolor que usted le ha causado.
“Ahora mismo usted no lo
entiende, pero a lo largo de
su vida tendrá que afrontar las
consecuencias de su comportamiento. Nadie confiará en
usted. Muchos creerán que es un
mentiroso, y otros no le cooperarán en los asuntos financieros
o profesionales porque juzgarán
que es irresponsable e inmaduro.
Esas consecuencias negativas no
serán un castigo de Dios, sino el
resultado de su propia conducta.
La Voz del Evangelio
Most recently, I found myself
saddened and began to comtemplate; How is it that we see so
blatantly corruption in our legal
system , violence in our schools,
and an overall cavalier attitude
towards society’s debaucherous
behavior, which has become
so commonplace. Then, as if
God himself answered me, I was
given a copy of an article written
by Paul Harvey in 1965 titled “If
I were the Devil”.
Paul Harvey (1918-2009) was
a well known conservative radio
broadcaster for ABC from the
1950’s to 1990’s. In this article
he couldn’t have put it more succinctly! But I’ll let Mr. Harvey
tell you in his own words! In a
most recent version published by
snopes.com, he writes:
“If I were the prince of dark-
ness, I would want to engulf the
whole world in darkness. I’d
have a third of its real estate and
four-fifths of its population, but
I would not be happy until I had
seized the ripest apple on the tree.
So, I would set about however
necessary to take over the United
States. I’d subvert the churches
first, and I would begin with a
campaign of whispers. With the
wisdom of a serpent, I would
whisper to you as I whispered to
Eve: “Do as you please.” To the
young, I would whisper that the
Bible is a myth. I would convince
the children that man created God
instead of the other way around.
I’d confide that what’s bad is
good and what’s good is square.
And the old, I would teach to pray
after me, “Our Father, which
are in Washington ...”

preceptos, pues quiero meditar en tus
maravillas”

¡No culpe a Dios por lo que usted
mismo ha causado!
“Usted nos pregunta si Dios
lo castigará por hacer sufrir a su
esposa. Es obvio que entiende
que todo pecado merece castigo.
El apóstol Pablo escribió que “la
paga del pecado es muerte”. Por
lo tanto, sí, usted merece la pena
de muerte por sus pecados. ¡Y
nosotros también! Todos merecemos el castigo, porque todos
hemos pecado. Sin embargo, el
apóstol Pablo siguió diciendo:
“mientras que la dádiva de Dios
es vida eterna en Cristo Jesús,
nuestro Señor”. Cristo tomó el
castigo para que nosotros no tuviéramos que sufrirlo. Pero no es
algo automático. Cualquiera puede recibir la vida eterna en lugar
del castigo eterno, pero cada uno
debe tener un cambio de corazón.
Si usted desea recibir ese perdón,
tiene que estar sinceramente arrepentido de todos sus pecados
y debe pedirle a Cristo que lo
perdone. Luego es necesario que
siga el camino de Dios en lugar
de su propio camino. Usted tiene
la opción de decidir si acepta el
perdón de Cristo o si recibe el
castigo eterno”.

Then, I’d get organized, I’d
educate authors in how to make
lurid literature exciting so that
anything else would appear dull
and uninteresting. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell
alcohol to ladies and gentlemen
of distinction. I’d tranquilize the
rest with pills. If I were the devil,
I’d soon have families at war
with themselves, churches at war
with themselves and nations at
war with themselves until each,
in its turn, was consumed. And
with promises of higher ratings,
I’d have mesmerizing media
fanning the flames. If I were the
devil, I would encourage schools
to refine young intellect but neglect to discipline emotions. I’d
tell teachers to let those students
run wild. And before you knew
it, you’d have drug-sniffing dogs
and metal detectors at every
schoolhouse door.
Within a decade, I’d have
prisons overflowing and judges
promoting pornography. Soon,
I would evict God from the
courthouse and the schoolhouse
and then from the houses of
Congress. In his own churches,
I would
substitute psychology for religion and defy science. I’d lure
priests and pastors into misusing
boys and girls and church money.
If I were the devil, I’d take
from those who have and give
to those who wanted until I had
killed the incentive of the ambitious. What’ll you bet I couldn’t
get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I’d
convince the young that marriage
is old-fashioned, that swinging is
more fun and that what you see
on television is the way to be.
And thus, I could undress you in
public and lure you into bed with
diseases for which there are no
cures. In other words, if I were
the devil, I’d just keep right on
doing what he’s doing”. Paul Harvey (1965)
“No one can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one and
love the other, or else he will be
loyal to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve God and
Mammon”. Matthew 6:24

Mayor Ivy Taylor and Bexar
County Judge Nelson Wolff
are pleased to announce a new
partnership for the delivery of
library services. Keeping with
the spirit of the long-term relationship established in 1936,
the San Antonio Public Library
will partner with BiblioTech
to design a new service model
to offer library users the combined resources of both library
systems.
“Although there were a few
bumps in the road, today’s
agreement is proof that we can
work together to provide more
efficient and effective services
for our taxpayers,” says Mayor
Taylor. “Libraries are among our
most important services and I am
delighted to announce the expansion of our collection through
partnership with Bexar County.”
“We’ve always intended for
BiblioTech to be a complimentary service to promote digital
literacy in areas of need in Bexar
County and provide support to
the San Antonio Public Library,”
Judge Wolff said.
City and County staff have
developed a conceptual collaborative framework which will
facilitate the selection and the
delivery of digital content and
other library resources while
keeping their respective brands
and presence. The San Antonio
Public Library and BiblioTech
are committed to working to-
gether to provide the best possible library experience to all
residents with the goal of seamless use of both library systems.
While Bexar County will
be reducing its payment to the
City of San Antonio for library
services over a four year period effective FY 2016, Bexar
County is committed to reinvesting those dollars in electronic
resources to be made available
to all residents of the City and
County.
The San Antonio Public
Library Board of Trustees is
scheduled to take action on
this new partnership during the
regularly scheduled meeting on
Wednesday, April 22. San Antonio City Council is scheduled
to take action on May 7.
Volunteers needed to test genderneutral physical standards
By Capt. Jennifer Richard
AETC Public Affairs
The Air Force is looking for
Airmen from the Joint Base
San Antonio area to voluntarily
participate in one of the two
high-vis physical standards
studies required to potentially
open the last six Battlefield
Airmen career fields to women
and to ensure gender-neutral
standards across all Air Force
specialties.
The Physical Tests and Standards Study runs from April 13
to July 18 and the Re-validation
of Strength Qualification Standards Study runs from April 15
to Aug. 1
The Physical Tests and Standards Study will establish
fitness standards for training and operational levels for
Battlefield Airmen career fields
and will consist of familiar
physical tests like running,
pull ups, push ups, as well as
combat-related simulations
like swimming, carrying lifesize dummies, rock climbing,
and climbing walls. The Revalidation of Strength Qualification Standards Study will
ensure scientifically-based,
operationally-tied fitness tests
and standards for entry into all
career fields and will consist
of familiar entry physical tests,
to include those that measure
strength.
Volunteers can come from a
variety of backgrounds – active
duty, guard or reserve, female
and male. All participants must
be between the ages of 18 years
and 45 years old, must have a
current passing physical fitness test (all four components),
current preventive health assessment/medical clearance,
willing to attempt physical tasks
and must complete a safety and
medical screening questionnaire.
For Airmen interested in volunteering to participate in the
Physical Tests and Standards
Study, Airmen must be willing
to commit for a consecutive
two-week period between April
13 to June 13 or for one week
between June 22 to July 18.
Airmen should gain permission
from their supervisors and then
contact the AF Fitness Testing
and Standards Unit by emailing
[email protected] or calling 210487-2043.
For Airmen interested in
volunteering to participate in
the Re-validation of Strength
Qualification Standards Study,

The studies to develop and
validate physical and mental
standards will provide data
for the Air Force’s Women in
Service Review implementation
plan. Following the 2013 decision of then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Gen. Martin Dempsey to rescind
the 1994 Direct Ground Combat
Definition and Assignment
Rule, each service has been
studying physical and mental
requirements to ensure they are
career-specific, operationallyrelevant and gender-neutral
by September 2015. In the Air
Force, currently 99 percent of
career fields are open to both
men and women; the remaining
one percent of positions are in
ground combat and/or special
operations career fields.
W. Vestal improvements begin
By Melissa S. Sparks
District 3 City Councilwoman
Rebecca J. Viagran joined City
officials and area residents in
breaking ground on the W. Vestal project today. The project
is adding curbs and drainage
improvements, along with widening and repaving the roadway.
“This project is giving our
residents exactly what they
asked for – street and drainage
improvements,” said Council-
woman Viagran. “We are beginning the transformation as this
project will make a difference
for our residents.”
The project will work on W.
Vestal between Commercial
Avenue and Pleasanton Road.
The street will be widened for 30
feet, and will include new curbs
and sidewalks. Drainage will
also be improved to withstand a
25-year rainfall event.
“Our goal is to deliver this
project on time and within budget for the residents of San
Antonio,” said Mike Frisbie,
City Engineer and Director of
Transportation & Capital Improvements.
The project is managed by
Transportation & Capital Improvements for the City of San
Antonio. The design created by
Fernandez Frazer White & Associates, Inc. will be constructed
by R L Jones Construction. The
project is funded with $3.9 million from the 2012-2017 Bond
Program. Construction should
last for a little over one year.
American Marketing Association San Antonio
Chapter hosts Marketing Excellence Awards Gala
By Marcie Casas
The American Marketing Association-San Antonio (AMASA) Chapter is gearing up
to host its annual Marketing
Excellence Awards Gala on
Wednesday, May 21, 2015 at 6
p.m. at the Old San Francisco
Steakhouse located at 10223
Sahara St. This year’s theme is
“Shine Bright Like a Diamond.”
AMA-SA hosts The Marketing Excellence Awards
(MEA’s) annually to recognize outstanding regional and
national marketing campaigns
that were developed and debuted by local advertisers and
marketers during the previous
year. During the event, AMASA will also honor a Marketer
of the Year.
Marketing campaign entries
in multiple categories are currently being accepted for award
Just in time for Earth Day, the
Alamo Area Council of Governments has honored VIA Metropolitan Transit with an Air
Quality Stewardship Award for
the agency’s efforts to preserve
demand-response public transportation services in rural areas
northeast of San Antonio.
“It is truly an honor to be recognized for being a good steward
of our environment,” said VIA
President/CEO Jeff Arndt. “As
an operator of a large fleet of vehicles, our primary environmental
goal is the reduction of emissions,
the use of public transportation.”
The Air Quality Stewardship
Award was presented by AACOG
to the partners in the Demand
Response Transit Project. Following the 2010 Census, the cities of
New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo,
Garden Ridge, and McQueeney
were included in a new urbanized
area. As a result of this classification, these areas lost their rural
public transportation status and
were no longer eligible for state
funding for demand-response
service. VIA partnered with these
cities to provide funding for the
continuation of this service.
roadways,” said VIA Board Chair
Hope Andrade. “VIA vanpools
account for 19 million passenger
miles traveled in the region, and
demand-response services replace
16,000 or more personal vehicle
trips each year. Simply put, more
people using public transportation
means cleaner air for everyone.”
The cities included in the partnership agreed to match VIA with
funds to continue the demandresponse service. Other partners
recognized by AACOG include
the Comal and Guadalupe County
Commissioners Courts and the
McKenna Foundation.
The 33rd Annual Lowrider Festival
Centro Cultural Aztlan
San Antonio, Centro Cultural
Aztlan invites you to the 33rd
Annual Lowrider Festival on the
grounds of Centro Aztlan. This
year again we bring the Lowrider
show home to the Art Deco Building. The Lowrider culture begins
at home; Centro Cultural Aztlan
is proud to nurture and promote
the next generation of Lowriders
by developing the Low Rider
Custom Bike competition. Our
Lowrider Festival is a family
focused event featuring local and
regional competitors who creatively enhance their vehicles into
incredible mobile works of art,
elaborately detailed with murals
that are personal reflections and
expressions of each participant.
Gleaming Chrome, hydraulics,
and elegantly restored upholstery are but a few of the custom
enhanced features in these once
factory-standard cars and trucks.
All competitors will compete
for trophies in over 30 different
categories. Centro Cultural Aztlan is a non-profit Cultural Arts
organization founded in 1977 to
preserve, develop and promote
Chicano/Latino Arts and Culture.
Music is as much of the Lowrider Culture as are their vehicles,
and aficionados will not be disappointed by the lineup scheduled
this year. Enjoy the Oldies but
goodies as well as contemporary
songs performed by some of San
Antonio’s most noted musicians.
A festival could not be complete without our favorite festival
foods prepared by some of the
most popular street vendors.
This year, along with the Lowrider competition, the festival
will feature Arts & Crafts by local artisans, and back by popular
demand the Live Art Paint OFF!
General admission $7.00 children 12 and under are free!
All proceeds from this fundraising event will ensure the
continuation and sustainability of
our cultural activities and general
operating fund.

Pet of the week
She may not be a fairy or know how to fly,
but this pup named Pixie is sure to bring a little
magic into your life. This 2 year old Chihuahua
mix was transferred from Animal Care Services
to the SAHS and now she is on the lookout for
her forever family! Pixie is such a sweetheart.
She is truly the best of both worlds! She loves
to play, but she also loves cuddling. Pixie also
enjoys taking walks outside and exploring new
sights and smells around her. However, Pixie is
still learning how to walk well on a leash. At first
she isn’t a big fan of the leash, but give her some
time to adjust and feel comfortable and then she
does very well. If you would like to spend some
time with Pixie and she if she could be the doggy
for you, visit the SAHS today! 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.

La Ciudad de San Antonio (COSA), en conjunto con el Departamento de Transporte de Texas (TxDOT) conducirá una audiencia pública el Martes, 26 de Mayo
del 2015, en el salón de eventos de St. Luke’s Catholic Church, localizado en el
4603 Manitou Dr., San Antonio, TX 78228. El propósito de esta audiencia es para
presentar las mejoras previstas para la calle Callaghan Rd desde la Inter-Estatal
410 (IH 410) a Spur 421 (Bandera Rd) en el condado de Bexar, Texas y para
recibir cometarios públicos. Muestras estarán disponibles para su visualización a
la 5:30 pm, con la audiencia formal iniciando a las 6:00 pm.
Las instalaciones existentes consisten de 2 a 6 carriles con aceras en mal estado
y banquetas angostas. El derecho-de-vía (ROW) existente varia de 70 a 140 pies
de ancho. El proyecto propuesto mejoraría esta sección de la calle Callaghan
Rd de IH 410 to Spur 421 (Bandera Rd) ampliándola calzada a 4 carriles con un
carril continuo al centro para giro a la izquierda, instalación de nuevas señales
de tráfico en todas las intersecciones con señales existentes, construcción de
aceras y baquetas, añadiendo un camino de uso compartido de diez pies, y
mejorando la superficie de asfalto y sistema de drenaje fluvial. El derecho-devía (ROW) típico propuesto variaría de 75 a 140 pies. El propósito del proyecto
propuesto es (1) mejorar la movilidad y la eficiencia operativa, y (2) mejorar la
superficie de asfalto y sistema de drenaje fluvial de Callaghan Rd.
Las mejoras propuestas requerirían aproximadamente 0.65 acres de derechode-vía (ROW) adicional, 0.10 acres de terreno para acceso de vía permanente,
y 0.45 acres de acceso de vía temporal para la construcción. El proyecto propuesto no requeriría la reubicación de residentes o estructuras comerciales. Sin
embargo, adquisición parcial (ejemplo: perdida de frente lineal de la propiedad

calendario provisional para la adquisición de derecho-de-vía (ROW) y construcción puede ser obtenida de la Oficina de Transportation & Capital Improvement.
El proyecto propuesto cruzaría un arroyo emifero en Postwood Drive; se espera
que el trabajo en esta intersección calificaría bajo el Permiso Nacional 14 sin una
Notificación de Pre-construcción al U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Además, el
proyecto atravesaría la llanura de inundación de 100 años.
Mapas y otros dibujos señalando la localización del proyecto propuesto y diseño

La gerencia general de los Spurs ofreció en el Travis Park una
colorida fiesta por la clasificación al playoff del oeste del pentacampeón. Chicas de la porra Silver Dancers y personal de Spurs
Sports & Entertainment engalanaron este evento en el que participaron fans durante concursos que otorgaron a los ganadores Los pequeños fans de los Spurs y sus familiares se divirtieron en
el emotivo evento que celebró la décimo octava clasificación de
boletos para los partidos del playoff. (Fotos, Franco)
San Antonio al playoff del oeste. El diseñador de globos Ernie
Shown es captado en los momentos de complacer a una niña que
le pidió la figura de la mascota The Coyote. La figura le sirvió de
“sombrero” en esta magna fiesta que llevó el tema Silver & Black.
La plaza del renovado Travis Park, ubicado en el 300 East Travis
Street, estuvo concurrida durante la fiesta Silver & Black en la que
la mayoría de fans vistieron los colores de los uniformes de Spurs
que visten de local y visitantes. Las madres de familia vistieron a
sus pequeños de acorde con la playera y número de sus jugadores
favoritos, como se aprecia en la gráfica.
El disc jockey oficial de los Spurs, “DeeJay Quake”, con su variado
repertorio complació a fans que estuvieron bailando y animando
el ambiente, porque los Spurs se ponen rumbo a la conquista del
sexto campeonato.
Aficionados de todas las edades se dieron cita en el Travis Park
para disfrutar del ambiente y darle su apoyo una vez más a Spurs.
Seguidores vistieron los colores y se maquillaron con el tema Silver
& Black. Este fue un ambiente inolvidable que La Prensa logró
captar en exclusiva.
La noble afición de los Spurs, con todo su talento e imaginación,
se dio a la tarea por diseñar su propia tema de Fiesta y de los
playoffs en los que el pentacampeón tiene otra oportunidad de
ganar un trofeo Larry O’Brien, para sumar el sexto en su flamante
vitrina del AT&T Center.
La porra mixta Spurs Team Energy encabezó los eventos animando a fans para disfrutar del baile y de otros eventos.
Un miembro de la legión de los “Spurtans”, que durante el playoff
del oeste pululan en el AT&T Center, se dio cita en este evento
para mostrarle su apoyo al pentacampeón.
Un seguidor de los Spurs, quien siempre se pone máscara y sombrero alusivo a los colores de la franquicia Silver & Black, anduvo
saludando fans y a la vez posó para La Prensa de San Antonio.
Los tres buenos amigos: Jesse Ibarra, Juan (Juanito) Rábago y
Rudy Barrientez se reunieron en el Rosedale Park, donde disfrutaron de las acciones del béisbol dominical del circuito Tex-Mex
Independent Baseball League. A la vez recordaron anécdotas de
su club, el trabuco Alamo Kings, que bajo la dirección del clan
Barrientez, logró establecer jerarquía en San Antonio. Rudy
también recibió felicitaciones por el nacimiento de su nieto Ryan
Alexander.
Congratulations to Alaya Barrientos Daoud on being crowned the
2015 Queen of the International Black and White Ball (IBWB).
As Queen, Alaya will represent IBWB at several local events, including San Antonio’s 2015 Fiesta celebration this coming April.
Highlighting Fiesta will be her entrance into the Battle of Flowers
and Fiesta Flambeau parades. Alaya not only believes in the goodwill that the IBWB promotes, but she strongly believes in family.
She is the loving daughter of Nadine Barrientos-Daoud and Riyad
Daoud and the doting older sister of Joseph. Best wishes to Alaya
during her reign as the 2015 Queen of the Black and White ball.
El partido del Rampage contra el rival de la autopista I-35 (Stars
de Texas) fue dedicado a su fundación caritativa Silver & Black
Give Back. Los primeros cinco mil espectadores con boleto de
admisión pagado recibieron coloridos lentes oscuros. Rampage
se clasificó al playoff del oeste y jugará la primera ronda contra
los Barons de Oklahoma City el 23 y 25 de abril en calidad de
visitante, y el 29 de abril y primero de mayo (de ser posible) en
el AT&T Center.
La gerencia general del equipo Rampage, como de costumbre una
hora antes de cada partido local en la pista del AT&T Center,
concedió permiso a fans para que sin costo alguno patinaran
durante el evento Silver & Black Give Back Night, con el que se
despidió la temporada regular. En la foto aparecen dos chicas
patinadoras tomándose una selfie, que inmediatamente subieron
a las redes sociales.

Mezcalería Mixtli gives S.A. a true taste of Mexico
By Lea Thompson
[email protected]
Price Range: $-$$
Mezcal has long held the
reputation as a bad spirit that
leads to worse decisions, but
Mezcalería Mixtli, a new restaurant and bar opening this
weekend, is determined to set
the record straight.
“A lot people associate mezcal with being cheap or just
‘not good,’ but that’s probably
because until recently, that’s
mostly what we had available
in Texas,” Jesse Torres, the
mixologist and co-owner of
Mezcalería Mixtli said. “But
good mezcal is an incredibly
rich Mexican spirit with an
amazing history.”
Torres and Chef Diego Galicia of Mixtli became inspired
to open the bar after visiting
a mezcalería in Mexico City
last year. After trying several
varieties, they decided that the
drink experience was exactly
what San Antonio was missing.
“So much of our food and
drink culture has become diluted because of industrialization
in the last few years,” Torres
said. “That’s why we’re seeing this huge movement in the
culinary and bartending worlds
to bring back that history and
preserve that cultural heritage.”
Torres and Galicia were part
of the team who opened Mixtli
restaurant in late 2014 as a way
to bring authentic and delicious
food experiences to people.
Mixtli’s small interior allows
for an intimate and unique dining experience, but Torres and
Galicia wanted to share that on
a larger scale.
“There’s no reservations
needed at the Mezcalería, which
allows us to reach more people,”
Torres said. “Everything we
make is seasonal and authentic,
but it’s in a place and in a price
range that makes it accessible.”
As of this week, the mezcalería has 42 mezcales, but
the team plans to have over
100 varieties by this summer.
Patrons can opt for a copita, or
half serving of mezcal, or the
jicara, the full serving. Torres
has created a wide selection of
unique and refreshing cocktails
in addition to the large selection
of craft beers, agua frescas and
Mexican sodas on the menu.
The mezcalería’s botanas
menu features great eats like the
charcutería, made with Spanish chorizo, jamón, and aged
cheese, or the house chicharrones served with guacamole.
Galicia advised diners to keep
an eye on the mezcaleria in the
coming weeks, as the restaurant
plans will expand to include
lunch hours.
“We wanted a place that was
an intimate neighborhood bar,”
Torres said. “We want people to
feel like they can ask questions
and talk to the bartender about
the menu, or they can just have
a great time with friends.”
Mezcalería Mixtli is located
in the Yard on McCullough at
5313 McCullough Ave, with a
parking lot available for restaurant patrons. The Mezcalería is
open from 4 p.m. to midnight
Sunday through Thursday, and
4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday through
Saturday.
Mixologist/co-owner Jesse Torres takes a unique approach to
classic favorites at Mezcaleria Mixtli, like the refreshing
paloma pictured here.(Photo, Mezcaleria Mixtli offers locals an authentic taste of Mexican culture with a large collection of
mezcales. Each mezcal is served with fresh orange slices and sal de gusano. (Photo, Lea Thompson)

SAMA introduces legendary artist to S.A.
By Lea Thompson
[email protected]
Being asked to create portraits of
historic figures like John F. Kennedy Jr. or Andy Warhol would
be a lifetime accomplishment for
many painters, but for artist Jamie
Wyeth, now 68, there’s still plenty
of work to be done.
A retrospective of his work, simply titled “Jamie Wyeth,” opens
this weekend at the San Antonio
Museum of Art (SAMA), and
continues through July.
Originally developed by the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the
exhibit spans over 60 years of his
career, from his childhood drawings and his time spent with friend
Andy Warhol to his more recent
paintings inspired by the people
and places that surround him.
Upon entering the exhibit, Wyeth joked about how the retrospective of his work had come too soon.
“It makes me feel like I’m already dead,” Wyeth said with a
laugh. “I pretty much always knew
I wanted to paint, I just wanted
more time to do it.”
Wyeth is a third generation artist, following the well-established
careers of his father Andrew Wyeth, and his grandfather N.C. Wyeth. However, Jamie has managed
to create a uniquely immersive
experience for visitors through his
realist paintings.
“Anyone would have asked
‘Where do you fit?’ I think the
answer to that is one that Jamie
Wyeth has been triumphantly exploring and demonstrating his versatility,” William Keyse Rudolph,
the Chief Curator for SAMA said.
Wyeth discussed the lengthy
Artist Jamie Wyeth recalls the friendship and influence that he shared with artist Andy Warhol in New York City during the 60s and 70s. A retrospective of Wyeth’s
work in addition to a Warhol portrait of the artist can be viewed from April 25 to July 5, 2015 at the San Antonio Museum of Art. (Photo,Lea Thompson)
process he takes on each time he
creates new work, including his
painting of “Bale,” created in 1972.
“You know portraits take on
their own life,” Wyeth said. “A
lot of my so called ‘landscapes’ I
really consider portraits,” Wyeth said. “If you look at this, I
became obsessed with this bale
of hay for whatever reason. To
the point that I would cover it
every night for fear that it would

will also be available for children and adults alike.
During the Paseo, guests are
encouraged to join one of the
three Westside walking tours
as Westside Preservation Alliance members guide guests
around this neighborhood and
learn about its historic, cultural
and architectural significance.
Walking tour stops include Guadalupe Church, the White Star
Building, Casa Maldonado, the
Guadalupe Theater, Fite Alley
Shotguns and the MujerArtes
Studio. Neighborhood walking
tours will begin at 9 a.m. and
11 p.m. and will leave from
the corner of Guadalupe and S.
Colorado. The Historic Cemetary Walking Tour starts at
10:30 a.m. and will go to San
Fernando #1.
Live music will fill the air as
longtime favorites such as Las
Tesoros de San Antonio with
Beatriz Llamas, Rita Vidaurri,
and Blanca Rosa showcase their
songs with Mariachi Durango.
The Conjunto Heritage Taller
will perform and highlight star
students during the lunch hour.
The youth of Son Semilla will
perform their jarana sounds for
all community present. Bene
Medina and Conjunto Aguila
will close out the afternoon
with the American Folk Music
sounds of the legendary music
known as Conjunto.
Our Paseo por el Westside
event is one of hundreds of
events happening around the
country in honor of Historic
Preservation Month. We partner
with various community groups
and the local Office of Historic
Preservation in an effort to recognize a part of San Antonio
that is largely underserved and
unrecognized as worthy of preservation. Local partners will be
hosting information tables to
promote other goings on in the
community. San Anto Cultural
Arts, Westside Preservation
Alliance, MujerArtes Clay Cooperative, Center for Cultural
Sustainability out of UTSA, San

the San Antonio Public Library
system and local San Antonio

Parks will be there to share
information about their current
and upcoming events.
This community event is free
and open to the public. The
whole family is invited, whether
they were born and raised in
the Westside or simply enjoy
cultural festivities honoring San
Antonio’s heritage.

Wyeth shows the same passion and curiosity for all his
subjects, and is excited to see
what the newest generation of
young artists will create, or what
they might be inspired by.
“Painting I think of all the
disciplines is the most immediate, which thrills me, it’s why
I’m in it,” Wyeth said. Even
after 60 years of painting, he

Comedian Chris Tellez and
jazz singer Margo Rey are just a
couple of the Latino and Latina
performers found at this years
Moontower Comedy Festival in
Austin, Texas.
Now in its fourth year, Moontower has introduced up-andcoming talents like Hannibal
Buress and Cristela Alonzo, and
showcased established acts like
Aziz Ansari and Maria Bamford.
Whatever your style of comedy, Moontower has undeniably
cemented Texas’ reputation for
great comedy.
La Prensa was able speak with
Tellez and Rey about their beginnings in the entertainment
industry and where they plan on
going next.
Chris Tellez
For Tellez, comedic inspiration can come from anyone or
anywhere, whether it’s a story
about why dog poop is cute or
why society should get rid of the
phrase “LOL.”
“I’d been around funny people
my whole life,” Tellez said. “It’s
something I wanted to do since I
was a kid ya know, but didn’t get
around to it until I was 28.”
Tellez hails from Dallas, where
he would watch “Mr. Show” with
Bob Odenkirk and David Cross,
and stand-up comedians like
Mitch Hedberg, Bill Burr, and
Mike Birbiglia.
“Theres just so many that I
could name,” Tellez said. (He
did name TJ Miller and Brent
Weinbach).” “I did my first year
in Dallas but I saw how diverse
the comedy scene was in Austin,
and figured I could cut my teeth
faster working seven nights a
week so I moved.”
Tellez developed his confidence at Cap City before he
began hosting a monthly “S*#!’s
Golden” comedy show featuring
other new comedians at Spiderhouse Ballroom.
“It’s all hits no skips, local up
and coming comedians,” Tellez
said. “I love the comedy community here in Austin. I will end up
in L.A. eventually for work, but I
have no problem biding my time
in Austin.”
Although Tellez acknowledges
that he is “on the brink of superstardom,” you can still catch him
at local shows in Texas or at his
monthly “S*#!’s Golden” show
with other local comedians like
Avery Moore and Rebel Sanchez.

comedian Ron White in 2013, and
she’s been in the entertainment
industry for more than 30 years.
Rey and White are able to balance
their careers and personal time by

Rey noted that she is proud to
work with her husband, and proud
to represent Latinos and Latinas in
her work and in the comedy world.
“I’ve noticed more Latinos
in a lot of different arms of the
entertainment industry today,”
Rey said. “It has a huge impact if
you’re a child and you don’t see
anyone who looks like you or if
they are only seen as a criminal
and that’s really impactful to the
child.”

Rey and White entertained a full
house on Wednesday night at the
show at the Paramount Theatre
in Austin.
“I think other areas of entertainment have caught up to the music
industry,” Rey said. “It’s always
been we’re going to make music
no matter what. But I just see it
as being.”
“I think art should always represent the society that it comes
from,” Rey said. “Whether I’m
singing in English or Spanish,
I want people to respond to the
work first. If they relate to me as
a Latina, that’s great too.”
Rey recently released several
new songs including “Never 2

Annual MujerArtes Mother’s Day Sale
Special to La Prensa
This year, MujerArtes celebrates 20 years of expressing
their creative voices through
the medium of clay. Starting on
Monday, April 27 until Saturday,
May 9, the women of MujerArtes
will be exhibiting and selling
their newest pieces of art celebrating the lives of mothers,
grandmothers, tias, and daughters
from all walks of life at the annual
Mother’s Day Sale. At this annual
event, the women focus on creating artwork detailing the various
lives of women around the world
from a florist selling fresh flowers to a mother carrying her child
with a rebozo. Art pieces range
from $5 to $300 allowing for a
wide range of buyers to experience the beauty of MujerArtes.
The sale and exhibit is located
at 1412 El Paso with the studio
open Monday through Saturday
from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
The history of MujerArtes
begins in 1995 as an avenue for
working class women to attend
art classes at no cost. For many in
the Westside community of San
Antonio, art classes symbolized
an expensive recreational activity that low-income women rarely
had the chance to attend. While
these women represented a diverse group of artistic narratives,
there had to be a way for them to
afford materials, instruction, and
a place to sell their artwork. Over
the span of 20 years, roughly 200
women have walked through the
doors of the MujerArtes.
“Casita,” the annual Mother’s
Day event demonstrates the idea
that each woman possesses the
ability to share an important
story. Many of the art pieces to
be sold show the multi-layered
aspects of being a woman on
Mother’s Day from being an
abuela, aunt, mother, or daughter. Through this program, the
women strive to honor all women
who have nurtured and advocated
for their families, friends and
community.
This sale will also function
as a fundraising opportunity for
the Esperanza and MujerArtes
to raise additional funds for the
future adobe studio project set to
begin in 2015. MujerArtes will
also be preparing for their 20th
anniversary exhibit set for September 5, 2015 at the Esperanza
Peace and Justice Center. For
more information on the sale,

“Texas Rising” del History
Channel llega para Memorial Day
Por Adda Montalvo
[email protected]
Durante el fin de semana de
Memorial Day, History Channel
estrenará la miniserie de 8 horas
“Texas Rising”, que tratará
sobre la Revolución Texana (la
caída de El Álamo) y el ascenso
de los Texas Rangers.
La serie, de tono épico, será
estrenada el 25 de mayo a las
8 p.m. C.
“Texas Rising” contará con la
actuación de conocidos actores
como Bill Paxton (Sam Houston), Olivier Martínez (General
Santa Anna), Kris Kristofferson
(presidente Andrew Jackson),
Brendan Fraser (Billy Anderson), Ray Liotta (Lorca), entre
otros.
“En 1836, el oeste de Mississippi era considerado el Wild
West y la frontera de Texas
era vista como un infierno en
la Tierra. Aplastada en el exterior por el ejército mexicano y
atacada en el interior por feroces
tribus comanches: nadie estaba
a salvo”, la presenta History
Channel en su página web.
“Pero este era un tiempo de
valentía, un tiempo para morir
en lo que creías y un tiempo
para levantarse muy alto en
contra de las crueles reglas del
general mexicano Santa Anna
(Martinez). El heroico general
Sam Houston (Paxton), los rag
tag Rangers y la legendaria ‘Yellow Rose of Texas’ lideran esta
historia de la voluntad humana
en contra de insuperables posibilidades. Al final, las banderas
texanas se elevarán victoriosas,
afirmando un momento de la
historia para toda la eternidad”,
anuncia el canal.
“Texas Rising” es dirigida
por Roland Joffé, quien ha
sido nominado al Premio Oscar dos veces por películas
como “The Killing Fields” y
“The Mission”. Además, es
producida por el mismo equipo
que creó otras series como
“Hatfields&McCoys”.

El soundtrack
Por otra parte, la serie incluirá
temas musicales como la versión del cantante country (originario de San Antonio) George
Strait “Take me to Texas”.
Asimismo, música nueva del
cantautor puertorriqueño José
Feliciano.
Y recién este jueves fue estrenado el video de una versión especial para promocionar “Texas
Rising” del clásico tema de Tom
Petty “I Won´t Back Down”.
Esta versión, acompañado
de un video con imágenes de
la mini serie, es cantada por el
actor Kris Kristofferson y es
una interpretación sombría de
la canción, cuya letra y música
orginal son de tono positivo.
“Acompañada de piano y una
sección de cuerdas, la madura
voz de Kristofferson le da a la
canción una nueva apariencia,
que va de sentir honor y optimismo a estar llena de pesar y
dolor, pero con tono de recuperación al mismo tiempo”, describió la revista Rolling Stone.
Bill Paxton interpreta al General Sam Houston en la nueva mini serie épica sobre las luchas de
independencia de Texas, después de la caída de El Álamo. Kris Kristofferson, Olivier Martinez y
Brendan Fraser también participan en la serie. (Foto, cortesía)

seis años de La Konzentida Banda

escogiendo temas musicales que
serán grabados en nuestro segundo
disco sencillo. Cuando más pronto
sea, será mucho mejor para nosotros
ya que nuestros seguidores se encuentran impacientes por conocer

sus temas.
Se ha destacado por ser una
banda sinaloense en la que su género
musical es interpretado a dos voces
por los vocalistas Jaime Manuel
Barrientos Martínez y Luis Manuel
Madrid Resendéz, quienes han echado las campanas al vuelo en su meta
por sacar adelante a La Konzentida.

mundialmente aplaudida Banda El

como de empresarios y agrupaciones musicales a las que hemos
acompañado, en suelo mexicano
y en el extranjero donde nuestros
temas se han ubicado entre los
primeros lugares de popularidad
en la radio y televisión”, añadió
Castillo Ortiz.
En seis años de trayectoria musical, La Konzentida se ha establecido

donde, de acuerdo al director musical Castillo Ortiz, se dará prioridad
para que conozcan el nuevo material musical que será incluido en su
segundo disco sencillo.
“La Konzentida está agradecida
con nuestra base de fans, por lo que
en cuanto tengamos listo el material
musical vamos a comenzar a presentarlo en nuestras giras de trabajo que
ya se han programado para el estado
de Tamaulipas y en el extranjero”,
concluyó Castillo Ortiz.

Querida Nina:
Quiero compartir contigo
lo siguiente. Mi esposo y yo
tenemos 14 años de casados.
Tenemos cinco hijos. Cuando
nos casamos decidimos poner
cable en nuestra casa. Fue lo mejor para nosotros en el principio.
Cuando llegaron los niños los
entreteníamos muy bien, pero
ya cuando llegaron a una edad
LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO
era un terror. Como solamente
tenemos una televisión era un
pleito horrible. Era de cambiar
canales cada segundo. Nunca
veían un programa porque nadie
lo había escogido. Un día me
colmaron (me cansé) el plato y
ahí mismo llamé a la compañía
de cable y les dije que ya no
quería el servicio. Mis hijos
estaban muy enojados conmigo,
pero después de una semana ya
no decían nada. Tenemos unos
años sin cable. Los niños platican entre ellos. Sus calificaciones son de lo mejor. Mi esposo
y yo pensamos que fue la mejor
decisión que hemos tomado.
Esto no es todo. Entre todos
decidimos qué ver en la televisión. Los viernes y sábados
rentamos una película. ¿Cómo
celebramos un cumpleaños? No
vemos televisión ese día como
regalo al cumpleañero. Ese día
salimos a comer fuera. El que
cumple años escoge. Ellos saben
los ingresos de su padre y así
que a veces comemos en McDonald’s o vamos a una pizza. Hay
veces que solo quieren ir por una
nieve. Estoy muy orgullosa de
mi familia. Ojalá esto sirva para
reunir a más familias como lo
hizo con nosotros.
Familia Guzmán
Querida Familia Guzmán
Qué bonito es cuando toda una
familia se une para compartir por
escrito el éxito de una decisión.
Tienes razón de estar orgullosa.
Que Dios los bendiga a ti, tu
esposo y a tu hijos. Que las bendiciones sean como una lluvia
que no paren de caer en tu casa.

Women’s Wrench Night
By Alyssa Bunting
[email protected]
The cliché stereotype goes: If a
woman needs handy work done,
she calls a man. Too many times
that has been the scenario in many
situations. However, the ladies who
organize Women’s Wrench Night,
have taken matters into their own
hands.
Women’s Wrench Night is
brought to you by EarnABikeCoop
who “is a volunteer driven initiative
with a mission to create equitable
access to cycling by providing
affordable bicycle maintenance,
services and education.”
“We are a group of female cyclists from San Antonio who want
to share all this city has to offer on
two wheels, promote women’s cycling, and get more ladies to know
how to fix their bikes and ride with
confidence. We are slowly beginning to have more events. We will
also have rides for all levels,” says
the description of the community
organization, while their mission
statement is “to close the gap.”
Cycling has become a major part
of San Antonio whether the City
wants to admit it or not (please don’t
leave us B-Cycle!). The downtown
area is an especially high trafficked
cyclist area and there are even daredevils all around the city you can
catch on feeder roads even over by
the Stone Oak area.
Their last event was called “Flat
Fiesta” where they held an event
for women to come out and either
learn a whole new set of skills such
as how to change a flat or to brush
up on rusted skills that may be
somewhat forgotten.
Their next two events will happen
on May 6 and May 9. The first, “All
Two women working on a bicycle during Women’s Wrench Night.
(Courtesy of Women’s Wrench Night Social Media)
Bikes Welcome,” is a meet up at
Alamo Brewery at 6 p.m. on May
6 where one could mingle and meet
with other female cyclists in San
Antonio and learn about different
bike resources and have to practice
bike maintenance.
The second event, “Chiquitas
Ciclistas,” brought to you by the
Martinez Street Women’s Center,
will take place May 9 at Lockwood
Park at 9 a.m. and is currently looking for volunteers to help Girl Zone
participants on the East side of San
Antonio with the opportunity to
build their own bike, learn about
bike safety and bike maintenance
as they try to build up bike culture
on the East Side.
Apart from the fact that bike
culture in San Antonio has been on
the rise for the city, it’s exciting to
see a group of women recognize the
potential to create something empowering and fun. If only we could
get the city to recognize the rapid
growing bike culture to increase
safety precautions for cyclists avid
and novice.

Wrench Night events, you can
