"Flags of Our Fathers"

Jaime EscalanteMexican-Teacher (Well known for teaching students calculus from 1974 to 1991 at Garfield High School, East Los Angeles, CA. Escalante was the subject of the 1988 film Stand and Deliver, portrayed by Edward James Olmos.)

Cover by Christy Martinez-Garcia On this month’s cover is a photo of a young man that was saluting the American flag at the Memorial Day services held at one of the cemeteries. I was moved by his patriotism, as he honored those soldiers that lost their lives for our freedom by saluting the flag. I take pride in flying the American flag on Father's Day and Mother's Day to honor the founding fathers and mothers, who generation after generation make sacrafices for the next generation. So as we celebrate fathers, June 15th, let us honor those that leave their familes behind to serve our country.

"A los tontos no les dura el dinero." "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Word From the Publisher

Make Plans to Join us for the 6th Vamos a Pescar

y ftaher in-law, Gonzalo Garcia Sr. was a farmer, a father, and a friend. He had worked all his life to provide a better life for his family. But as a farmer, he worked daily, 365 days of the year. One day, he became ill, and had to have a bypass surgery. Upon his recovery, he told my husband Frank and I that he wanted the entire family to get together for a weekend of fishing and family togetherness. He wanted to make up for lost time, and he wanted to include all of the grand kids, as well as invite his own brothers and their families. We agreed that we would bring his wish into fruition. Sadly, that last time together was never realized, as the next morning, Gonzalo passed away. Like many fathers his love for his wife, his children, and especially his grandchildren was very strong. As a result of his wish, the group Los Hermanos Familia (consisting of groups and individuals who value God, Family, and Community) was formed. And for the 6th year on Saturday, August 9, 2014, will hold the annual "Vamos a Pescar/Let's Go Fishing" event for all families. More details can be found in Latino Lubbock Magazine. As we embark on Father's Day, el Día de los Padres, it is important to spend quality time with your kids as soon as possible. As children grow into teens it becomes tougher to find common ground. Time with your children creates an ease in togetherness, a familiarity with each other's mannerisms, that reaches beyond any activity and into other aspects of your relationship. The long and short of it is that your children want to spend time with you. They need it with an unfathomable desperation that stretches from their completely dependent infant state into their seemingly disinterested teen and young adult years. Getting to know your children will be an adventure you'll always be thankful you're on. Make the time, dad, and start the journey now. This month of June, a month celebrating fathers, let us honor and acknowledge those forefathers who stayed true to justice and freedom. And as our veterans are impacted by the services they so rightly deserve, let us each carry forward our own unique responsibility to ensure that justice triumphs. And, while once again voter turnout was low, let us committ to enjoying this freedom, and acting on it. Then when results are needed we will be viewed not as part of the problem, but rather the solution. And as the best days of this community are to come, and as Hispanics ascend, I commit there will be a direct link between these realities. Again, congratulations to our graduates. We wish them all the very best in their future endeavors and in their higher education aspirations. Latino Lubbock Magazine is excited to celebrate jamaicas, Father's Day, and Men's Health Week with our readers. Other observances include Artigas Day (Uruguay) June 19 , which celebrates the birthday of General José Gervasio Artigas, forefather of Uruguay. Feast of San Juan Bautista, or St. John the Baptist, patron saint of Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan on June 24. Other Latinos celebrate the day as el Día de San Pedro. And, Saint Peter and St. Paul, known as San Pedro y San Pablo on June 29th. Celebrated in Spain and many Latin-American countries. As can be seen, Latinos are just as diverse as the rest of the community. Thank you to our advertisers. Please invest in their businesses and services, as they commit to investing in ours. Y como siempre, thank you to our 100,000 readers who support our publication.

that I am interested in and looking for. As an American of Hispanic descent, I never see any information related to my ethnicity's cause for civil rights. Where is the plight of Hispanics represented in the civil rights discussion and history of the United States? In my household, I have heard the stories from older relatives about the treatment of Mexican-Americans in Texas in the 1900s. From what has been relayed to me, it was not much different from how black Americans were treated in Mississippi. Through my parents, I have heard of schools for Mexican children, separate drinking fountains, having to sit in the "black" balconies at movies, and not being able to go to restaurants and other establishments that were designated as "whites only." But the public record of what the conditions were for the people of my background is severely lacking. It is as if we did not exist in this country between the Alamo in 1836 and the introduction of Freddie Prinze to the

WE NEED SUPPORT I'm in complete agreement that there is a need for a Hispanic chamber, and it is nothing against the new chamber, I just can't connect. As the Hispanic populations grows we need support, and someone to advocate for our small business. Hope this happens, and if it does, I'm interested in joining. Rick Vargas

side other civil and women's rights activists when the conditions that led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are presented? Considering that people of Hispanic descent make up more than 16 percent of the total population of the United States today, efforts should be made to shine a light on the history, conditions, people, and effects of Latino activists and legislation. It's time to give a large portion of the population its due, so that maybe when educational resources are developed into lesson plans, Hispanics have an element of pride and purpose in knowing that our predecessors also played a role in shaping the world and civil rights that we enjoy today.

Veterans Affairs Secretary House Votes on and Approves Eric Shinseki resigns Rep. Steve King's Amendment - Again resident P B a r a ck Obama an-

nounced the resignation of Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary General Eric Shinseki following several tumultuous weeks and pressure from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. Operations at the Department of Veterans Affairs came into question after reports of long wait times at healthcare facilities became an issue, especially in Phoenix where dozens of people allegedly died as a result.

An inspector general's report detailed incorrect scheduling procedures throughout the VA hospital system. "Our veterans deserve the best, they've earned it," Obama said Friday while speaking inside the White House. Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson, who was confirmed to that position this past February, will become acting head of the department. The president had previously voiced support for the embattled VA head, but said the resignation was Shinseki's idea and based on his own "good judgement." Before accepting his resignation, Obama said Shinseki had begun the process of firing key people at the Phoenix VA.

ne day after Latino groups O gave several GOP House members failing grades on immi-

gration, the House voted 218-193 to pay for the Department of Justice to investigate the release of immigrants, some with criminal charges or convictions by the Department of Homeland Security. The amendment was sponsored by King of Iowa whose comparisons to immigrants as drug mules and other comments have angered some Latinos. “It is defacto amnesty that is going on at the Department of Homeland Security,” King said Wednesday night on the House ﬂoor. “Let’s protect the American people from criminals being poured loose on the street by the tens of thousands.” The amendment, attached to a bill funding Commerce, Justice and State departments, would provide $5 million for the investigation. The House was voting on the larger spending bill Thursday afternoon. It’s the second amendment sponsored by King that the House has approved. The previous, also approved on a largely partisan vote, effectively would end the deportation deferrals the Obama administration granted young immigrants here illegally. The vote on King's first amendment was used by Latino groups to develop scorecards for members of Congress. The groups said they would use

the scorecards to inform Latino voters of members’ records on immigration for the coming midterms and in the 2016 presidential races. The vote on the King amendment also follows the failure of Reps. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., and Mike Coffman, R-Colo., to get votes on their amendments allowing young immigrants here illegally to serve i in the military, making them eligible for legal status. The amendment was blocked from reaching a ﬂoor vote by their fellow Republicans. Democrats quickly seized on the approval of King's amendment, blasting the GOP as taking its cues from King in a statement from the office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, C-Calif. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus also denounced the vote saying King and House Republicans “are one and the same.” “Today’s amendment is a waste of taxpayer money and another attack on young DREAMers and the immigrant community,” said caucus Chairman Rubén Hinojosa. For Republicans facing tough primary elections, the vote helps demonstrate their toughness immigration enforcement, although it could make courting the Latino vote more difficult in coming years. The complex political situation some GOP officials face was seen Thursday as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., who has a tea party primary opponent, was criticized by conservatives as a cheerleader for "amnesty" and by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., as a barrier to an immigration reform vote. Advocates for young immigrants,

or DREAMers, also denounced the vote, but turned their anger on Obama for waiting on the House GOP to take action on immigration reform and not using his presidential powers to curb deportations immediately. On Tuesday, Obama asked Johnson to wait until after this summer to release results from his review of immigration enforcement policies and whether they are being applied humanely. Lorela Praeli, United We Dream director of policy and advocacy, said the King amendment vote was another reminder that the president’s delay on the deportation review was “foolhardy” and “immoral. Virginia Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, convened a hearing Thursday that focused on release of immigrants convicted or charged with crimes. He accused the Obama administration of taking “unprecedented” and “likely unconstitutional” steps on immigration enforcement by releasing or not pursuing immigrants who could be deported. He said this has been done under the “guise of prosecutorial discretion.” Johnson had said before the hearing he would examine the releases of immigrants with criminal convictions, some which were ordered by courts or required by law. Separately, a group of Catholic bishops who had held a Mass for immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border, held another Mass at St. Peter's Catholic Church on Capitol Hill to pray for immigrants and met with House leaders to urge they move on immigration reform.

to serve as the next Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary. Calling on the United States Senate for a speedy confirmation process. "Julian Castro's nomination by President Obama to serve as HUD Secretary is great news. Mayor Castro has the intellect, policy expertise, and executive experience to serve as an effective HUD Secretary," said Antonio González, Southwest Voter Registration Education Project (SVREP) President. The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) added that if confirmed, Castro would be the third Latino to hold a cabinet position in President Obama’s second term. “If confirmed, we know Mayor Castro will bring his ‘can do’ attitude and visionary leadership to Washington D.C. for the benefit of the President and all Americans. We call on the U.S. Senate to act swiftly to confirm

Mayor Castro so that he may get to work as the nation’s next U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Our organization stands ready to work side-by-side with the President to support Mayor Castro’s nomination to this important post and to identify other qualified Latino candidates with the unique talent and ex- JULIAN CASTRO pertise required to serve the nation at all levels of the Administration.” LULAC National President Margaret Moran in a statement in support of the nomination , congratulated Mayor Castro. “Mayor Castro’s exceptional experience as a public servant will be a tremendous asset as he takes the helm of our nation’s top housing post. In addition, his personal background will provide the compassion and appreciation for the most underserved in our community.

Hernandez Wins Another City

Council Race Despite Efforts to Defeat Him BY NEALE PEARSON, PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, TTU

ictor HerV nandez survived another

effort to unseat him in the city elections May 10, narrowly avoiding a runoff election, defeating 65-year old opponent Frank Gutierrez who tried to unseat him earlier in a November 1913 General and Special Recall Election. Hernandez won 50.6% of the 1,267 votes cast in the May 10 District One election to 37.6% for the long term Republican Precinct Chair, and 11.8% for Lana Bear Moore, a political newcomer. Hernandez won 641 votes to 477 for Gutierrez and 149 for Moore (See Table One below). In the November 5, 2013 effort, Hernandez survived the Recall Referendum with 911 votes (58.5%) to 657 votes (41.5%) in efforts led by Ysidro Gutierrez aided by Frank Gutierrez, no relation, and Armando Gonzalez in an election in which the main issues facing voters were nine Amendments to the Texas Constitution. In the May 10 elections, 7.4% of

the 7,220 voters registered voters in District One turned out to vote compared to 8.7% of the total county voters; many voters in the city had only an Lubbock Independent School District Trustee election facing them which accounts for the lower turnout county wide. In District Three, Deanne Clark (37.4%) faces Jeff Griffith (34.6%) in a June 14 runoff election to replace retiring Council Member Todd Klein; 7.5% of 18,082 registered voters cast ballots in that race. In District Five, incumbent Karen Gibson (62.4%) handily defeated Dr. Brian Carr (37.6%), head of the Lubbock Health Board in a race which some observers thought would be much closer in a race which brought out 10.3% of the 27,693 registered voters. Clearly, precincts in which there was a City Council race had a higher turnout than in those neighborhood where there was only a school board trustee or bond election. Countywide, 11,097 voters (7.5%) of 146,149 registered voters went to the polls in a variety of municipal, school board, and bond elections. Hernandez Wins More Support in Precincts that Voted Against the November 2013 Recall Hernandez won a healthy majority of the vote in the same three

precincts--McWhorter, CavazosJackson, . and Guadalupe--where voters rejected his being recalled in November 1913. Gutierrez won a majority in only one of the four precincts-- 8 (Ramirez/Overton North) -- where Recall leaders Ysidro and Frank Gutierrez led Recall majorities in November 1913 (Hillcrest, Ramirez, O. L. Slaton and Broadview Baptist). In May 10 and early voting, only seven voters (53.8%) in the Ramirez School-McDougall Re- SHARING A VISION FOR THE FUTURE: Texas Senator Eddie Lucio met with development area supported Frank local Hispanic leaders to discuss a project in Las Colonias and the future of Hispanics in Gutierrez in this most recent ef- Texas. fort compared to three voters each (12.1%) for Hernandez and Lana Bear Moore. In November 1913, thirteen voters (51.8%) of the 27 voters (out of 1,465 registered or 8.1%) supported the Recall effort.

Corps. He completed his service as a disabled Veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Despite obtaining the disability, Rocha committed to not allowing himself to be defeated by PTSD. “My whole inspiration for others and also myself is to let veterans know that there is hope for us,” he said. “We can succeed,” he said explaining that God and his faith led him to boxing, which became a means of therapy, and an opportunity for him to overcome the struggles often associated with PTSD. The young boxer further took on a chance to enroll in college as a full time student at Wayland Baptist University. “Not too long ago I made three F's and was failing miserably in college and also in life. But boxing turned my life around, and gave me a sense of hope to fulfill my dream.”

He said he aspires to be the first boxing champion with a disability that also holds the proud title of being a veteran. On June 6, Rocha will be fighting a bout in El Paso, and will be donating a portion of his proceeds to the "Wounded Warriors Project" of Lubbock, which is in its initial stages of serving wounded Veterans in the South Plains. He acknowledged that his coach, Isaac Mendoza, is also a combat Veteran and at this time he is physically unable to continue his boxing career but committed to coaching him full time. Rocha said that he wanted to help inspire youth and also serves as an instructor at "The Boxing Club" gym in Lubbock, located at 519 Frankford.

Happy Father's Day, Feliz día a los Padres

Carrillo strives to inspire his children and be an Awesome Dad

BY BRYAN NAVARETTE FOR LATINO LUBBOCK

A family is a blessing, and fatherhood is an opportunity to prove that. Vince Carrillo, Get Up & Go morning show co-host for Magic 93.7, wakes up extra early to ensure his family knows that he is thinking of them. Before work, Carrillo said, he writes down a quote on a piece of paper and sticks it to his fridge for his family to read when they wake up. “I want them to get started right,” he said, “I want them to have a good morning.” He hoped it would get their mind working in the mornings and then they would be able to get going, Carrillo said, and hopefully it will begin

positive conversations among the family. Carrillo said that everyone in the family has something they need to do in the morning, and he understands that sometimes it can become hectic. “If I can put something that they read as a family and maybe would start a positive conversation with them asking my wife what it means,” Carrillo said, “or get them to reflect a little bit, just to get them going at least thinking about what it is, or what it means.” Carrillo said he is not sure when he first started, but remembers why. “I always like doing something that’s going to make me a better person, and the thing that really is going to make me a better person is to be a better dad and a better husband.” Carrillo said, “That brings me happiness.” Carrillo said growing up was difficult because he did not have many opportunities to talk or ask advice from his own father.

“I want my kids to know that I’m there,” Carrillo said, “that I’m constantly here and that they have that means of communication with me.” Carrillo strives to become a better father, and hopes one day that his children will strive to be a better father than him, he said, and every generation following will do the same. His kids are involved in extra-curricular activities to excel, he said, and since the notes have started he has seen a difference in their performance. Carrillo said when he remembers he is sure to share his letters with people outside his family. But, he does not post the photos to social media sites, like Facebook, for recognition, Carrillo said, he does it to inspire other fathers to come up with their own method of becoming close with their family. “From the time they wake up, to the time they go to sleep,” Carrillo said, “they know that daddy is going to be there.”

Summer Job Search Tips

LEDA and LISD Announce I Program Expansion Plans he Lubbock Economic De- “LEDA is excited to assist the ByT velopment Alliance (LEDA) ron Martin ATC in this arena as we announced their plans to grant the strive to grow our labor pool and Lubbock Independent School District (LISD) and Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center (ATC) $30,431 to purchase additional manufacturing equipment for the Byron Martin ATC’s district manufacturing program. LISD has continued to see increased interest by students to participate in the manufacturing program. However, due to lack of equipment and space, LISD had to turn 50 students away from the program just in this last year alone. In turn, Lubbock’s manufacturing industry continues to struggle with finding skilled labor to meet their workforce needs. The manufacturing program at Byron Martin ATC provides the necessary education and certifications required by the manufacturing industry. When the team at LEDA learned of the opportunity to give more students the chance to participate in the district manufacturing program, they saw a win-win situation.

provide students with the opportunity to live and work in Lubbock upon graduation,” John Osborne, president and CEO of LEDA, said. “The purchase of the manufacturing equipment will allow the Byron Martin ATC to increase the student capacity by 20 percent, thus assisting in meeting the local manufacturing industry’s workforce needs.” Lubbock ISD will use the funds to purchase four dual-process welding stations, two aluminum welders and an additional lathe for the manufacturing program. LISD has also added an additional instructor within the manufacturing program to meet student course requests. Superintendent Berhl Robertson, Jr. added, “The collaboration between the ATC Manufacturing Advisory Committee, LEDA and Lubbock ISD administration, has put us in a strong position to launch students into excellent careers and meet the needs of local business.”

f you are planning to get summer jobs and have not been hired by now, it’s not too little late. Here are some suggestions for tackling the summer job market: 1. Search traditional job boards as well as Google, using keywords such as summer+jobs. 2. Get onto Twitter, search #summerjobs#Lubbock. 3. Look for Specialized job boards to help with finding summer jobs 4. Various government agencies offer specific job boards: check Workforce Solutions. 5. Traditional job boards such as working.com have set up specific student searches. 6. The City of Lubbock is a great source of summer jobs; they hired students to start in April, but still have their website up. It is late, but it is worth to go back and check – a small number of positions were still available when we posted this blog . Check the City for ongoing hiring — some might be for summer. 7. Think of which employers are busiest in summer. For example, Lubbock Parks & Recreation department has a hiring page for “recreation jobs”. Think of who else is active in the summer: companies that

deal in promotions and marketing, hotels, restaurants, car rental companies, golf courses and a range of other service sector employers. Google the companies, check out their websites and see if they’re hiring. 8. Remember that you can also create your own business and offer pet sitting, gardening, baby sitting, elder care, house sitting services, for a fee, to friends and family. 9. Keep in mind that temp agencies might be ramping up their hiring to fill positions of employees away for summer. You’ll find a list of job boards on this blog. 10. There are services for youth to help with jobs — they often know about positions available in the community, and more usefully — might be able to help you ramp up your job search so you can do it yourself. Good luck with your search! There are jobs out there to be found and created – it just might take a more effort.

Next generation continuing

Salazar Monument company avid Salazar was born in Falls his list of clients within the cemeterD City, Texas in December 1931, ies and funeral homes and set up a to the late Rev. Crescencio and monument display at the local Flea Elizabeth Salazar. At the age of 17, he married Herminia “Minnie” Galindo and in the 1950’s moved to Lubbock, Texas. In 1963, he started his career working for the previously known Lubbock Monument Services on 34th street. David had dropped out of elementary in 2nd grade, but David was self-educated, i.e., he knew how to improvise and do things easier than using hightech tools and always got the job done. He learned his trait to work with monuments that weigh anywhere from 75 to several hundred pounds. David’s trait included making designs for monuments such as praying hands, The Virgin Mary, rosaries, bibles, crosses, ﬂowers, carved roses and many other specialty designs that were unique to the families that requested a special remembrance for their loved ones. David continued to learn the monument business, and worked 10 to 12 hours a day to make a living for him and his family. David then decided to venture out on his own, initially traveling to cemeteries all over West Texas and even as far west as El Paso. He also traveled up north to Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and east of Lubbock. He would travel to the cemeteries to engrave via sandblasting the “last dates” on existing monuments. This was his business until the late 1970’s and then in the early 1990’s. David then decided to venture into the second phase of his business and he launched Salazar Monument Service. Although David had little communication skills, i.e., his English was limited and his writing was even more limited, he knew how to talk and communicate to people and built his contacts within the monument service. He expanded

Markets in Lubbock to start selling monuments to clients. He sold monuments at affordable prices and offered layaway plans to people that could not afford to pay in full cash. He got his son, Joel and his Grandson, Joseph Salazar, to start helping him make, engrave, and sandblast the monuments and then he would travel to the cemeteries again to set them. David’s business was good; it helped him raise his ten children and make a comfortable life for him and wife, Minnie until she passed away in April 2013. Two weeks after Minnie passed away, David had a stroke and lost some mobility in his right arm, hand and leg. After several weeks and months of rehabilitation, he still was not able to regain full use of his limbs and therefore, he lost a second love of his life - playing the guitar and singing at church (another self-taught skill. He played the guitar by ear and not by note). Today, he however, continues to occasionally preach the word of God. David is truly a dedicated and faithful man. He is hardworking and a hero to our family. He continues to live in the same home that he built after the May 11, 1970 tornado. David is currently 82 years young and still strong and alert. He still offers his expertise to his son, Freddie and his daughter-in-law, Yvette, who bought the business from him in March 2014. David’s skills and talents to make monuments is a skill that one does not learn overnight. He has so much knowledge and advice to give that he continues to be a legacy in his own right. David Salazar Sr. is a great man and we continue to love him and support him every day of his life. He is the last surviving sibling of his father’s legacy.

Cash Versus Accrual Accounting Method

The majority of small businesspersons do not know the difference between accrual and cash basis accounting. Most of them use the cash basis accounting. In this method, revenue is recorded when collected and expenses are recorded when they are actually paid. In the accrual method, revenues are recorded when earned, even if you haven’t received any cash. Expenses are recorded when incurred, even if they have not been paid. I have had many businessmen that

reported a loss (For Federal income tax purposes) for non-payment of services they performed. If they are on the accrual basis accounting,they can deduct such an expense. However, if they are using the cash basis, they will not be able to deduct it. Consult your tax advisor for additional and complete information. JAIME D. GARCIA has been the owner of Associated Business services since 1978. He earned a degree from Texas Tech. He specializes in Accounting and Small Business consulting.

ood nutrition can help with weight control as well as the prevention of disease. Use these tips to help you get started on the path to a healthy lifestyle using good nutrition. Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. These are low in calories and a packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Get more fiber. You can get a lot of this from your fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Choose whole-grains for half your grains. Three or more ounces of whole-grain products daily. Consume more non-fat or low- fat dairy products. Three cups a day of fat-free, low-fat milk or yogurt is recommended. Choose lean protein. Baking or grilling lean meats or poultry is best. Fish, beans, peas and nuts can all be healthy sources of protein as well.

Emergency Preparedness

Severe Weather Events and What to Do

he possibility for T severe weather increases during the spring

and summer seasons. Severe thunderstorms have the potential to produce lightning, damaging hail, ﬂash ﬂooding, and tornados. There are a few simple steps you can take to protect you and your family during severe weather. During any type of severe weather event it is important that you stay informed about significant changes that may be occurring with the weather. Local radio and television stations provide important information during storms. Another useful tool is a NOAA weather radio which will au-

tomatically notify you of severe weather events in your area. A shelter should also be identified before a thunderstorm event and is ideally located in a basement or storm cellar. If both are unavailable, find an interior room on the lowest ﬂoor. This summer make it a point to develop a plan in case of severe weather. For Lubbock, this could mean hail, lightning, ﬂooding, and tornados. For a step-by-step process on how to be prepared and for more specific information on several types of severe weather events, visit www.Ready. gov.

They are a major health hazard and are responsible for the transmission of yellow fever, malaria, dengue fever, encephalitis, and many other serious diseases. In parts of the world where mosquitotransmitted diseases are not common, it is the bite itself that presents the greatest difficulty. More infants and children are bitten by mosquitoes than by any other insect. As such in an effort to protect yourself and mosquito-proof your home this summer, Latino Lubbock Maga-

Use Insect Repellent on exposed skin when you go outdoors. Use an EPA-registered insect repellent such as those with DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Clothing can help reduce mosquito bites. As such when weather permits, wear long-sleeves, long pants and socks when outdoors. Mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing, so spraying clothes with repellent containing permethrin or another EPA-registered repellent will give extra protection. Be aware of peak mosquito hours from dusk to dawn. Take extra care

Preventive Tips for Good Health

egular check-ups with a physiR cian can help you live healthier and prevent disease or control

Real men get check-ups National Men’s Health Week (June 9-15)

n 1920, women lived an average I of one year longer than men. Today, men die almost six years earlier

than women and are more likely to die of heart disease and cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control. These troubling statistics haven’t translated into better health care practices for men. A recent survey found that men take better care of their cars than of their own health, according to Men’s Health Network. Eighty-four percent of men said they had had their car serviced in the past year, but only 66 percent had been to the doctor for an annual check-up. Putting off medical visits and ignoring symptoms is especially common among Hispanic men who, because of machista attitudes, often view go-

ing to the doctor as a sign of weakness. Don’t let your man suffer in silence. Encourage the men you love to get a tune-up, whether that means starting a fitness program, improving their diet, getting a physical, or even seeing a therapist. The Community Health Center of Lubbock offers various men's screenings and valuable health information including Cholesterol screenings, Blood Pressure & Glucose checks, eye exams, Physical Activity, Brain Health info, Pulmonary Function Tests, Nutrition, Diabetes & Heart Disease Info, Cooking demonstration, Digital Rectal Exams. For more information, contact Yvonne at 765-2611 ext. 1009.

Los hombres de verdad se hacen exámenes médicos

n 1920, las mujeres vivían, en E promedio, un año más que los varones. En la actualidad, los va-

rones fallecen casi seis años antes que las mujeres y son más propensos a morir de enfermedades al corazón y cáncer, según los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés). Estas preocupantes estadísticas no se han traducido en mejores prácticas de atención de salud para los varones. De acuerdo con Men’s Health Network (Red de la Salud de los Varones), una encuesta reciente reveló que los varones cuidan mejor de sus vehículos que de su propia salud. El 84 por ciento de los varones dijo haberle hecho mantenimiento a

su vehículo en el curso del pasado año, pero sólo el 66 por ciento visitó al médico para someterse a un control anual. Dejar de lado las visitas al médico e ignorar los síntomas es particularmente común entre los hispanos que, con frecuencia y debido a actitudes machistas, perciben las visitas al médico como signos de debilidad. No deje que su hombre (y esto incluye a usted) sufra en silencio. Aliente al hombre que ama a hacerse una “puesta a punto”, ya sea que empiece un programa de ejercicios físicos, que mejore su dieta, que se haga un examen médico, o que incluso vea a un terapeuta.

Just a few simple tests and activities can go a long way to prevent or control Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure, which may lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, blindness, osteoarthritis and obesity. Simple blood tests such as a HemoglobinA1C, which measures the past three-month average of one’s blood sugar, diagnoses Diabetes. Monitoring blood pressure, performing EKGs, x-rays and lipid testing will help us determine whether or not you need blood pressure medication to prevent

stroke and heart attacks. Physicians can help monitor weight and BMI (body mass index) and encourage you to keep a food and exercise diary. Simple steps, including eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and walking for 20-30 minutes five times a week can have a significant effect on weight and overall health.

tacado High School, who has been teaching 28 of his 30 years as an educator in the Lubbock Independent School District (LISD). He moved to Lubbock from San Antonio in 1986. He taught at Iles Elementary Magnet School for three years before serving as an assistant principal at Iles, Bozeman, Harwell, Hardwick, Rush and Bowie. He further accepted principal assignments at Hardwick Elementary School, Roscoe Wilson Elementary Magnet School and Hutchinson Middle School before moving to central office as the Assistant Superintendent for Elementary and then Associate Superintendent for Teaching and Learning in quadrants III and IV. He then agreed to lead the turnaround efforts as principal of Estacado High School. “I have invested my personal and professional life into the Lubbock community and Lubbock ISD. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with students, teachers and administrators at all levels,” he said. He added that he was very proud of his association with LISD. And, that he has experienced several special memories while serving the district as a teacher and administrator. Most notably he pointed out experiences at each school. He said that at Iles Elementary he grew professionally as he was exposed to a non-graded, fine arts emphasis, ethnically diverse, modified open concept learning environment. At Hardwick Elementary – the fine arts

enrichment offered to students was truly unique. Roscoe Wilson Elementary Magnet is where he established it as a Core Knowledge magnet, attaining both “Recognized” and “Exemplary” ratings for the first time in school history. He described other experiences and achievements. “The past four years, our goal with Estacado students has been to strive for 90+% attendance, achievement and graduation rate. Our students have embraced this challenge each year. Working together, we have experienced incremental gains in every area. Our current students need to continue embracing these and other high goals for themselves and serve as role models for the entering freshmen in order to realize their individual and collective potential,” concluded the dedicated educator. For Dr. Ayers, the next chapter includes a position as Associate Professor and Distinguished Practitioner in Residence in the School of education at Lubbock Christian University, where he will be teaching undergraduate teacher education classes and graduate school administration classes beginning in August. On behalf of Latino Lubbock Magazine, we wish you continued success!

of her life and was reared by amazing parents, J.L. and Eloisa Castro, who gave her the opportunity to attend Lubbock ISD schools, graduate from Lubbock High and then Texas Tech University. She began her teaching career in the fall of 1976 at McWhorter Elementary. In December of 1976, she married her best friend, Joe Lopez, after a brief encounter at Matthews Jr. High many years before and then reuniting when they were students at Tech. God blessed us with 2 amazing sons, Geoffrey in 1980 and Justin in 1982. Lopez said that she was in the classroom at McWhorter for 17 years during which she received her M.Ed. and Educational Administration certification from Tech. In 1993, she was promoted as an Assistant Principal and assigned to Preston Smith until 1998. In the summer of 1998, she received the

call to be the principal at Wheelock Elementary, where she served for 15 years. From May, 2012 to present, she returned to and serve as the building principal of McWhorter Elementary. “My 39 years in LISD has truly been an amazing experience for me, especially when I meet my former students, who are now successful in their professions or careers, i.e. Christy Martinez-Garcia, former student at McWhorter. I have also had the privilege to hire former students as they are now teachers in LISD,“ she said. Choosing to retire at the end of this school year she said was a difficult decision, but as she looked to the future she decided she wanted to spend more time with her husband, parents and grandchildren, and aspires the next chapter of her life to be just as fulfilling. “I will never forget the friendships, the amazing educators and countless students who have been a part of my life all of these years. Most of all, my faith and belief in God and His blessings in my life has brought me to this point, and to Him I owe my humblest gratitude.” Congratulations from Latino Lubbock Magazine and many students.

accidents happen before you even leave. Injuries that happen at home account for 21 million medical visits and close to 20,000 deaths each year, according to the Home Safety Council’s 2004 State of Home Security in America. Older adults, who tend to spend more time at home, are at even greater risk. The good news is that by taking a few simple precau-

tions, many of these injuries can be prevented. Don’t stop with physical safety; mental and emotional well-being are also part of feeling safe. Clear a cluttered area, create a space for yoga or stretching, learn about feng shui, put up a painting or photograph you love. Do one thing this month that will make you a little happier at home. Getting acquainted with your neighbors can also bring peace of mind. Knowing someone is looking out for you can greatly reduce stress and anxiety.

Lubbock actress Ana Harrison signs on for leading movie role

Source: INSHARE Modified by Latino Lubbock Magazine

ubbock native Ana Harrison, L now living in Hollywood is heading to New Jersey.

She is the daughter of Anita Carmona-Harrison & Harison, She holds a BA in Theater Arts from Texas Tech University. The acteress is going to north Jersey to star in a movie for Bob Messinger’s new film company, Where’s the Lake Productions. She has taken the female lead in

June 2014, Vol. 8, Issue 6

Messinger’s film “Gymful Remembrances,” currently in pre-production. Ms. Harrison has had co-starring and principal roles in television programs such as Warner Brothers’ “Felicity,” NBC’s “Love’s Deadly Triangle,” USA’s “Face in the Mirror” and Jerry Peterson’s “Gamers” among others. Her feature film career includes principal and leading roles in classic independent movies including “Wassup Rockers,” Sundance favorite “EMR,” 2008′s “Reflections,” “My Roommate Larry,” and the soon-to-be-released comedy/horror feature “Get Dead.” She has studied dance with Diana Moore, as well as under Second City, Toni Cobb, Larry Moss Studios and others. “Ana is perfect for this role,” says Messinger, and with good reason. “I actually wrote the role with her in mind, but I never dreamed in a million years that she would come to New Jersey to take it…not with her busy schedule,” he explains. Messinger and Ms. Harrison met at a trade show in San Francisco in 2003. The company he was working for at the time hired the actress to work with them at the show.

“I was taken aback by her talent, honesty, dedication to her work and zest for life,” says Messinger. “At that time, I had written several screenplays,” continues Messinger, “but I’d stopped because I’d become discouraged at the impossibility of getting anything read. But Ana’s dedication to her art was contagious, and she convinced me to get back in the game. And I did…the moment I got back to Jersey.” The two talked a few times again after San Francisco, they’ve exchanged holiday greetings, and they’ve maintained contact via social media. But Messinger never forgot why he’d started writing again, and he never forgot that she had said to him, “One day you’ll write a leading role for me.” “We’re coming full circle,” says the actress. And both say they couldn’t be more excited. “Gymful Remembrances” will be a co-production between Messinger’s new production company and Nightstand Studios in Fairfield, NJ. Emmy winner Randy Rossilli is attached to direct. To learn more about Harrison visit http://resumes.actorsaccess.com/ anaharrison

Food Bank "Summer of Sharing" Food Drive, Needs Your Help he South Plains Food Bank T with local partners and community members has launched its

annual Summer Of Sharing drive. This is the 5th Annual Summer Of Sharing, which has evolved into many events held throughout the summer to assist the South Plains Food Bank in restocking its shelves during one of its critically low inventory times of the year. Several years ago, the South Plains Food Bank had to issue an SOS emergency food drive. The shelves were bare and the Food Bank, for a brief period, ceased being able to make freezer boxes. However, in this critical time of need, the community stepped up and quickly restocked the Food Bank shelves. Summers have always been a difficult time for the Food Bank. "We want to be proactive," said SPFB Chief Executive Officer David Weaver. "We are calling on our community members, churches, local businesses and corporations

to remember that hunger doesn't take a vacation. Please support our local Summer Of Sharing events this year." Several organizations have already come together to spear head a summer packed with ways people can get involved in helping the Food Bank through the summer months. The Food Bank is hoping to raise about 125,000 pounds of food during this year's Summer of Sharing, which will provide approximately 200,000 meals and $50,000. This is a great opportunity for the community to join together this summer for the Summer of Sharing because "Hunger Does Not Take a Vacation!" Here are some of the events: * Through June 30, pre-made grocery bags containing about $12 worth of food can be purchased for $5 at any Lowe’s Supermarket or ACE Hardware. All of the food will go to the South Plains Food Bank. Also through June 30, a reusable Lowe’s grocery bag will be on sale at all Lowe’s Supermarkets and Plains Capital Bank locations for $2. Proceeds will go to support the work of the South Plains Food Bank. From June 2-11, Covenant Health

System is sponsoring the Save Our Ship Food Drive at Lowe’s Supermarkets. On June 5, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will deliver a semi-truck load of donated food to the food bank at 11 a.m. At 6 p.m. on June 11, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is sponsoring a potato sacking.

Forward in Christ

BY JOE CASTILLO

n 1998 one year after all my I treatments for cancer were done, I was finally given the good

news that I was in remission. I felt so blessed because God had spared my life and delivered me when I needed Him the most. I was healed! God had answered my prayers. I was alive and given a second chance to turn my life around. Slowly I started slipping back to my old sinful ways, I started drinking again and living the life of selfishness. I had forgotten how near I had come to facing death, and the words that GOD had said to me 1997 when I heard Him say, "I am OLG GUADALUPANOS Our Lady of Grace Men's Club held their annual brisket fund- the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, But raiser in front of Amigos, during Cinco de Mayo weekend. by me." One night while I was at home with my daughter, I was lead by the Spirit of God to a bible I had

on a nightstand. I started reading it quietly. Then all of a sudden I started reading it louder and louder. I burst out in tears crying out loud and repenting of my sins. I told God I was tired of fighting with Him, you healed me once of that dreadful disease and now I was slipping back to my old ways. I asked Him to forgive me of my sins and that I believed and accepted His son Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. From that night on,the old Joe died I became a new person through Christ Jesus, at 45 I was born again and baptized.

Texas Sports Report With Mando Reyna

ummer makes S it’s grand appearance this month

and so now we can expect the heat to rise in our sports world. For a lot of fans there is no better way to do that than by watching the Texas Tech baseball team make their NCAA tournament return as a second seed in Coral Gables Florida. As of deadline time they have already faced Columbia the third seed, and will have played either Miami or Bethune-Cook the last day of May. If all goes well they will play June 1st for the regional championship in this double elimination series. Although we realized this team was special, it’s good to see them at this stage with their six first and second team All Big 12 players. Special mention goes to sophomore Eric Gutierrez who leads the Big 12 in homeruns and RBI’s and Adam Kirsch Newcomer of the year. Hopefully this is the start of a new trend, not just for their careers but also for Tech baseball and coach Tadlock. Speaking of honorable mention, how about those Lady Mustangs of Coronado as they advanced to

the semi-finals in Austin, being the first girls’ team from Lubbock to do so. North Texas signee Monique Garcia and company continue to impress as we first noted last year, but we need to mention the spectacular coaching staff Coach Johnson has assembled. Although they all bring something to the table, I’m going to put the spotlight on second year assistant coach Daniela Garcia, no relation to Monique, who in her second year at Coronado is anxious to add a high school championship ring to her college championship ring she earned at LCU in 2008. Between Texas Tech, the Lady Mustangs and the Monterey baseball teams, people will start to wonder what we’re putting in the drinking water over here. No special ingredients just love, faith and a whole lot of practice. A team that needs some kind of special ingredients in their drinking water is the Texas Rangers whom are in a different place than what everyone expected at the start of their season. With the loss of Prince Fielder for the rest of the year and Jurickson Profar still missing in action, Ron Washington has his hands full as he tries to keep them within striking distance in not only their division, but in the American league as well.

Keep an eye on them as they go on their west coast trip on the 13th to the 22nd to meet their division rivals which although it’s still early, can go a long way in shaping out their playoff destiny. The Rangers initial reaction after Fielders loss has been a re-energizing of their offense which was due, but they will have to depend on their pitching and defense to carry this team from here on out. As long as they have no new pitching injuries and some arms can return, there is still plenty of time for them to get back on track. Here in Lubbock to finish off the month on the 29th, the 25th annual Ironman Triathlon event will be held at Buffalo springs Lake for those of us that feel that we need to back on track. This event is open to all but be careful if you choose to participate because it is a challenging race and will test you both physically and mentally. It is a qualifier for the big Triathlon, so there will be plenty of professional racers involved. This is the halfway point of the year so stay alert, hydrated and enjoy the summer sports.
