Quote

“It's for the future of our children," said Telma Vasquez, who went door to door in the scorching afternoon heat, trying to encourage people to vote. She said this hoping this would be enough to persuade disenfranchised Latino voters to come out to vote Tuesday, November 6,2018. Get out and vote!

Cover by Christy Martinez-Garcia On this month's cover, we feature Veterans from various branches, honors, ages, and experiences. Sometimes it is only a cap or a t-shirt that might distinguish them as Veterans. And when we see them we must take the time to thank them for their service. Annually, Latino Lubbock Magazine's publisher, Christy Martinez-Garcia, holds a reception to honor Veterans on their day. After observing the lack of Hispanic Veteran engagement at events she decided to make sure to do so. And being from a family with many veterans, especially her grandfather the late Juan E. Castro and great uncle the late Manuel Castro, it was important for her to honor them. As such, please join us as we honor the heroes on Veterans Day, the official U.S. public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans, that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. Thank you for your service! ¡Gracias por su servicio!

Word from the Publisher/mensaje de nuestra fundadora

Querídos lectores... A

ll veterans who have fought for our country's freedom are heroes because of their sacrifice. As an advocate of the Latino community, it is especially important for me to acknowledge Hispanic Veterans who have and are contributing to the cause of freedom. My husband and I take such in showcasing photos of family and friends who are serving or whom have served. Some may not realize that over 1.1 million veterans are Hispanic. And, over the last two centuries, and, according to the Defense Department publication, Hispanics in America’s Defense, “when our country has been in need, Hispanic Americans have had more than their share of stouthearted, indomitable soldiers. Their intrepid actions have been in the highest tradition - a credit to themselves, their ancestry, and our nation.” In World War I (1914-1918), the military was widespread with discrimination against Hispanics. Soldiers with Spanish surnames or Spanish accents were sometimes the objects of ridicule and relegated to menial jobs. Latinos lacking English skills were sent to special training centers to improve their language proficiency so that they could be integrated into the mainstream army. Despite the past, from the American Revolution to Desert Storm, Hispanic Americans have risked their lives to defend the United States and the principles upon which it stands. Even today, many of our sons and daughters serve as America’s soldiers in the U.S. Armed Forces, and are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the world, including the estimated 69,000 foreign-born soldiers who are currently serving in the U.S. military. These soldiers make up nearly 5% of the military personnel on active duty. In addition, Latino men and women have also served with distinction in the U.S. military since our nation’s inception, including nearly 500,000 in World War II, and nearly 40 Latinos have won our nation’s highest award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. More than 53,000 Hispanics were on active duty in 2003 and another 1.1 million are veterans of the U.S. military. Many have also been honored with American citizenship as a result of their military service; more than 25,000 immigrants who have served in the military have become U.S. citizens through a special wartime military naturalization statute. Suffice to say, Latinos are committed to the success of this country and proudly serve in the U.S. military. So as we celebrate Veterans Day, as well as the centennial of “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1918, take time to join us at the annual Veteran's Parade, Nov. 10, 2018. Help us honor ALL Veterans this Veterans Day, and let us remind those who sometimes overlook that Latinos have also made sacrifices for our American freedom. Also, don't forget to fly your American flag and show your pride to live in the land of the free, because of the brave. Let us truly exemplify our gratitude to them by making time to VOTE on Nov. 6th. Living in this free and amazing country is something we cannot take for granted. More so, the commitment by our troops should prompt us even more to VOTE for a freedom that exist because of the sacrifice of these fine men and women. This Thanksgiving season we are grateful to God for all of His favor, and for giving us the ability to deliver His word through our work, and through our actions. I'm especially grateful for the blessings of my family - my husband Frank and daughter Amaris, good health, and our readers that God place favor over you and your families. Como siempre, Latino Lubbock is committed to our community. We are grateful to be 100,000 readers strong, and appreciate our advertisers who help make it possible to keep our publication free. Till next month, thank you for your support and may God bless you! ¡Gracias por su apoyo! Que dios los bendiga. PEACE and random acts of kindness. Que las bendiciones de dios estén contigo siempre! Sinceramente, Christy Martinez-Garcia Publisher & Latino Market Specialist

NALEO Expects 7.8 M Hispanics to Vote In Midterms, Up From 2014

espite low outreach investD ment, Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National As-

sociation of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), said that 7.8 million Latinos are expected to vote in this year's elections, a 15 percent increase over 2014, but lower than in 2016. Already, 5 percent of registered Latino voters have said in a tracking poll conducted for NALEO by the polling firm Latino Decisions that they have voted, Vargas said. "Latinos are ready to make their voices heard," Vargas said. There are 29 million Latinos eligible to vote in the country. The percentage of those eligible who actually do vote has been declining since 2006. In 2014, about 6.8 million turned out, about 27 percent of eligible Latino voters, according to Pew Research Center. If the NALEO forecast for this year holds, turnout rate would increase slightly to 28 percent. In 2016, 12.7 million Latinos voted, about 47.6 percent, but that was a presidential election year. There has been great interest in how Latino voting will fare this year, the first Congress-wide election since President Donald Trump took office. There have been expectations of increased Latino turnout in response to Trump's rhetoric about Latinos and policies that have affected the community, including on immigration and health care. Some political pollsters and consultants have said Latino interest and enthusiasm in voting is down and cause for Democrats to worry. Latinos tend to vote for Democrats and the party has targeted 111 House districts, including 29 where Latinos are 10 percent or more of the eligible voters, in its quest to take control of the U.S. House. The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll in October found a significant increase in interest in the election among Latinos over the last month. About seven in 10 Latino voters (71 percent) now express high interest in the election, compared with just 49 percent who said the same in mid-September. In a Latino Decisions' tracking poll done for NALEO, from 60 percent to 53 percent of Latinos

surveyed over several weeks said they had not been contacted by a party, nonprofit group or candidate about the elections or about registering to vote. "Latinos are still once again, in our opinion, and I think the data bears this out, are being ignored," Vargas said. "A majority of voters are telling us no one has reached out to them." He said one factor is less investment in nonprofit organizations that had been registering and mobilizing Latinos. NALEO, which has had voter registration programs in the past, has seen "dramatic disinvestment" in its programs by national foundations, funders and donors, he said. "Latinos have been abandoned by the donor community in election 2018," Vargas said. Instead, money is being "surgically directed to certain electoral races and campaigns so particular electoral outcomes can be achieved by the donors and folks investing in races around the country," he said. Vargas also said stricter voting requirements, such as voter ID laws, precinct errors and registration problems, also are discouraging Latino voting. Vargas pointed out that Latino registered voters have high turnout rates. In 2012 and 2016, registered Latino voter turnout was 82 percent and 83 percent, respectively. "If we manage to get Latinos registered to vote, they are going to vote, so any obstacles to voter registration (have) a direct effect on Latino voter turnout," he said. Despite the outreach issues, Vargas said enthusiasm and mobilization are high among Latinos because of "self-mobilization." According to the Latino Decisions poll, 69 percent of those surveyed said they have encouraged friends or family to vote. "Our research over the years about effective and credible messengers and mobilizers to get Latinos to vote (shows) that it's family members who are the most trusted ... in particular, Latinas in the household — mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters, abuelitas — are catalysts for civic participation," Vargas said, using the Spanish word for grandmothers. Over the summer, the Demo-

cratic Party launched a project dubb e d " ¡ M u jeres Mobilized!" ( Wome n Mobilized) that recruits Latinas to call voters, knock on Arturo Vargas their doors and talk to neighbors to drive up Latino turnout. This year's elections could significantly increase the numbers of Latinos in Congress. There are now 34 Latinos in Congress. Thirty-one are incumbents or are likely to be replaced by another Latino, according to NALEO. There are 10 Latino candidates who are strong competitors for seats not held by a Latino, so after the election and with the departures and new arrivals of Latino members, there could be 41 Latinos in the House, Vargas said. There are a total of 435 House members.

Quality Child Care Key to a Successful Outcome For Our Community

uality, affordable child Q care is an essential support for Lubbock’s workforce—both

now and in the future. Unfortunately, right now only 4% of all child care providers in Lubbock County are certified quality through Texas Rising Star, our state’s only quality rating system for early childhood education programs. Texas recognizes that child care is more than just baby sitting, that quality matters, and that parents should be looking for quality options for their children. So, child care programs can receive coaching and become rated in Texas Rising Star at 2-, 3-, or 4-stars. Quality child care helps children be better prepared for elementary school, be more likely to graduate high school, and have a better chance at success after high school. During the first few years of life, babies’ brains are forming more than 1 million neural connections each second. This growth lays the foundation for all future development and learning, even well

rom November 1 until November 4, F Mexicans and Mexican-Americans will commemorate Día de los Muertos, a holiday

that pays tribute to our beloved deceased. Day of the Dead celebrations usually involve the building of ofrendas, plenty of spirits and food, and colorful, vibrant decorations like marigolds and papel picado. Unlike the Spaniards, who viewed death as the end of life, the natives viewed it as the continuation of life. Instead of fearing death, they embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake. The pre-Hispanic people honored duality as being dynamic. They didn't separate death from pain, wealth from poverty like they did in Western cultures. However, the Spaniards considered the ritual to be sacrilegious. They perceived the indigenous people to be barbaric and pagan. In their attempts to convert them to Catholicism, the Spaniards tried to kill the ritual. But like the old Aztec spirits, the ritual refused to die. To make the ritual more Christian, the Spaniards moved it so it coincided with All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (Nov. 1 and 2), which is when it is celebrated today. In Lubbock, various churches will hold observances (See Faith & Reigion p. 22). Procesíon will be held Nov. 2nd beginning at the International Cultural Center, ending at at the Buddy Holly Center (BHC), 1801 Crickets Ave. Celebración will be held through Nov. 18th at BHC which is an exhibition of artwork that explores the history and meaning behind the

Trump Plans Executive Order to Limit Birthright Citizenship

BY ALEX LOCKIE BUSINESS INSIDER

resident Donald Trump is aiming to use an executive P order to end birthright citizenship, a practice that grants citizenship to children born in the US regardless of their parents'

citizenship. In an interview with the news website Axios published on Tuesday morning, Trump called the practice of granting citizenship to all children born in the US "ridiculous" and confirmed plans to sign an executive order banning it. But Trump's executive orders on immigration have been met with heavy legal challenges before, and that is sure to be the case this time, with the US Constitution saying, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Further, the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, the basic body of US immigration law, also says a "person born in the United States who is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States is a U.S. citizen at birth." Trump's legal argument for overriding the common interpretation of the 14thAmendment and the INA, both ratified by Congress, will most likely amount to challenging whether unauthorized immigrants to the US are subject to US jurisdiction, a clause included in both the 14th Amendment and the INA. Under today's interpretation of immigration law, children born in the US to unauthorized immigrants gain access to US benefits. The children, as citizens, can sponsor their families to become US citizens as well once they turn 21. But for a child born of unauthorized immigrant parents, sponsoring families presents serious challenges. For example, parents who enter the US illegally are required to return to their native country for 10 years before they are eligible to apply for US citizenship. Pew Research Center has estimated that 4 million unauthorized immigrants lived with their US-born children as of 2014.

Earlier this month, the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors lower immigration to the US, credited "297,000 births per year to illegal immigrants" in 2014. Trump, who campaigned heavily on restricting immigration to the US, has referred to citizens born to unauthorized immigrant parents as "anchor babies," a term Democrats often seize upon as racist or xenophobic. Still, federal authorities have taken seriously the practice of intentionally seeking to have children in the US as a way of securing citizenship for the parents, having amped up enforcement against a multimillion-dollar "birth tourism" business. The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund released a statement from its chief executive officer (CEO) Arturo Vargas in response to Trump's plan to issue the executive order calling for the end of birthright citizenship: “Since the adoption of the 14th Amendment, the Constitution has granted all persons born or naturalized on U.S. soil with U.S. Citizenship. “Any attempt by President Trump to overhaul this basic tenet of our democracy through an executive order would be un-American and downright illegal. Continuing to attack hard-working immigrants as a means of scoring political points ultimately hurts Latinos and all Americans. “Should the President move forward, we fully expect that any executive order revoking birthright citizenship would be swiftly blocked by the courts. NALEO Educational Fund is fully prepared to stand alongside our partners as we prepare to defend the U.S. Constitution and our rich history as a nation of immigrants. “At a time of increasing violence and hatred both at home and abroad, we should be working to build bridges, not walls among Americans. Our nation is at a crossroads, and we must decide what kind of a legacy we want to leave behind. History is watching. The choice is up to us.”

Latinos Have Concerns

About Their Place in America

alf of Latinos say their situation in the H U.S. has worsened over the past year, up from 32% in the weeks after

Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election and the highest level since the Great Recession.1 In addition, more say they have serious concerns about their place in American society now (49%) than in 2017 (41%). And a majority (55%) say they are worried that they, a family member or close friend could be deported. Many blame the current administration for what they see as the worsening situation of Hispanics, the nation’s largest minority group. Two-thirds (67%) say the administration’s policies have been harmful to Hispanics – a much higher share than during the administration of either Democrat Barack Obama (15% in 2010) or Republican George W. Bush (41% in 2007).2 Overall, sixin-ten Hispanics (62%) say they are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country today, up since 2017 and the highest level since the Great Recession a decade ago, when 70% of Hispanics said they were dissatisfied with the nation’s direction. And yet, attitudes among Latinos are not monolithic. Slightly less than a quarter of Latinos (23%) identify as Republican or describe themselves as leaning Republican. Among this group, six-in-ten (59%) approve of President Trump’s job performance, compared with just 8% of Latino Democrats who say the same.3 In addition, half as many Latino Republicans as Latino Democrats (28% vs. 57%) say the Hispanic population’s situation has grown worse over the past year. Notably, partisan differences do not extend to voting. In each partisan camp, about six-inten (59%) registered voters say they are more enthusiastic about voting in the upcoming midterms than in the last congressional elections. This year, more than 29 million Latinos are eligible to vote, up from 25 million in 2014. Half of Hispanic adults (49%) are foreign born, and as a group they have stronger concern than those born in the U.S. Immigrants are more likely than U.S.-born Hispanics to say they have serious concerns about their place in U.S. society (57% vs. 42%), and they worry a lot or some about deportation (66% vs. 43%). Foreign-born Hispanics are also more pronounced in their criticism of the Trump administration: 71% say White House policies have been harmful to Hispanics as a group, compared with 63% of U.S.-born Hispanics who say the same. These are among the key findings from a new nationally representative, bilingual telephone

survey of 1,501 Hispanic adults, conducted by cellular and landline telephone from July 26 to Sept. 9, 2018, by SSRS for Pew Research Center. The survey’s margin of error for the full sample is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence interval. Latinos’ downbeat assessments extend to their own economic situations. Asked about their personal finances, only a third rate their situation as excellent or good, down from 40% who said the same in 2015. And when it comes to the next generation, the share who say their children will be better off financially than they are has declined from 72% to 54% over the same three-year period. These signs of waning economic confidence contrast with government data showing Latino unemployment at historic lows and Latino household incomes increasing faster than for other groups. Beyond economic considerations, a majority (54%) of Hispanics say it has become more difficult in recent years to be Hispanic in the U.S. This feeling is even more pervasive among foreign-born Hispanics (64%) than among the U.S. born (44%). And nearly four-in-ten Hispanics say they have experienced at least one of four offensive incidents in the past year because of their Hispanic background, although about as many note that someone has expressed support for them because they are Hispanic. For the 38% of Hispanics who say they have experienced an incident, these comprise: experiencing discrimination or unfair treatment because of their Hispanic background, being criticized for speaking Spanish in public, being told to go back to their home country, or being called offensive names. Immigrant Hispanics are more likely than U.S.-born Hispanics to report they have experienced most of these incidents. Individual experiences of discrimination notwithstanding, the survey finds Hispanics are overwhelmingly proud of their heritage (97%). Strong majorities also express pride in being American (84%). Asked if they could do it again today, 70% of Hispanics born in another country or in Puerto Rico said that they would migrate, or leave Puerto Rico, for the U.S. They also continue to see the U.S. as a better place to get ahead (85%) and a better place to raise children (73%) than their countries of origin or Puerto Rico. The nation’s Latino population stands at nearly 59 million and is one of the youngest and fastestgrowing groups in the U.S. Its composition is also changing as the foreign-born share has fallen and U.S. births now drive growth. Overall about one-third of all Latinos are foreign born. Among the about 19 million Latino immigrants, some 8 million are unauthorized immigrants.

ment of changes. Not surprisingly, many of these events also call for a policy update. Here are a few common transitions that may affect your health or insurance policies. Relationship Status - A new marriage brings an array of big decisions. Will you remain on your employer's health insurance or opt for a family plan with your spouse? It's also time to update your designated beneficiary and make sure your coverage will replace income that your spouse relies on. This can

help cover costs like household expenses and outstanding personal debts. The end of a marriage can also warrant changes to insurance policies. Some divorce agreements may require naming your exspouse as a beneficiary on your life insurance plan to help cover financial obligations like child support or alimony. Having Children - Expanding your family is a critical time to increase your financial safety net. Experts suggest opting for enough insurance to cover eight to 10 times your salary. A larger policy may help pay for a child's college tuition if the unexpected occurs. Business Ownership - When you own a business, you have others, like partners and employees, also counting on you. A life insurance policy can not only help your fam-

ily replace your income, but it can also help pay off outstanding business debt and estate taxes as well as help fund a buy-sell agreement between partners. Health Insurance Changes - Have you recently lost health coverage, moved to a different zip code or experienced another qualifying event that requires an insurance adjustment? Open enrollment begins soon, running from Nov. 1, 2018, to Dec. 15, 2018, for insurance plans offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace. If you don’t act by December 15, you can’t get 2019 coverage unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. (Medicaid and children's health insurance plans are available year-round; Medicare general enrollment is Jan. 1, 2019. (En español, p. 23)

Latinos Important on

Small Business Saturday

elp make a lasting impact H in the place you call home on Small Business Saturday®. Founded by American Express in 2010, it's a day to celebrate the local businesses that make your neighborhood great — and anyone can join in, from business owners to shoppers to government officials. This year, the big day is November 25, 2018. No matter who you are, be a part of it. Small businesses play a vital role in sustaining the U.S. economy, and Lubbock’s economy as well. And please don't forget your Hispanic-owned businesses. Although much deserved attention is paid to the dramatic growth of U.S. Hispanic consumers, Hispanic businesses also have become a strategic growth opportunity within the U.S. economy. It is everyone’s business to support the prosperity of Hispanic businesses because the multiplier effect of their growth will need to fuel more American jobs and income in the years to come. In the face of difficult circumstances

gaining employment in corporations, Hispanics create their own path to wealth through entrepreneurship – this is an American value that Hispanics embrace wholeheartedly. Hispanic businesses are growing at more than twice the rate of all U.S. firms. You will also see that Hispanic businesses contribute nearly $500 billion in revenue to the national economy – that number will continue to increase. And of course, Latino Lubbock Magazine proudly supports Hispanic small business owners and showcases their vibrant growth to the equally growing consumers especially our 100,000 monthly readers. Latino Lubbock Magazine is a Hispanic and woman-owned business. In 2009, Christy Martinez-Garcia, Publisher/Owner of Latino Lubbock, was recognized by the U. S.

¡SALGA EL VOTO!

El día de las elecciones es el 6 de noviembre de 2018. Page

urante los últimos 30 años, el número de estadounidenses diagnosticados con diabetes ha aumentado estrepitosamente, pasando de alrededor de 6 millones en 1980 a casi 19 millones en la actualidad. A medida que el problema se sale de control, los investigadores corren para encontrar nuevos tratamientos para esta devastadora enfermedad. Hace poco, científicos de Newcastle University, en Inglaterra, informaron que, al parecer, una dieta de 600 calorías diarias revirtió la diabetes tipo 2 en un pequeño grupo de pacientes que padecieron diabetes por menos de cuatro años. Siete de 10 pacientes seguían sin diabetes tres meses después de detener la intensa dieta de ocho semanas, que consistió en bebidas sustitutas de alimentos y tres porciones diarias de verduras ricas en almidón. En el plano quirúrgico, una cirugía para perder peso conocida como desvío gástrico Roux-en-Y demostró ser sorprendentemente efectiva para revertir la diabetes tipo 2: el 80 % de los pacientes que se someten a esta cirugía — que consiste en crear una bolsa en la parte superior del estómago y conectarla directamente al intestino delgado— experimentan una drástica regresión de su diabetes. Estos resultados se ven apenas días después de la cirugía y antes de perder mucho peso. Estos hallazgos han generado

una oleada de investigaciones para tratar de entender cómo es que el desvío gástrico afecta la regulación del azúcar en la sangre. Si bien no está claro cómo trabaja exactamente, la mayoría de las teorías se centran en el antiguamente menospreciado papel del intestino delgado y el estómago como órganos endócrinos, o liberadores de hormonas. El desvío gástrico Roux-en-Y en particular parece alterar hormonas específicas que ayudan a regular la respuesta del organismo al azúcar. Aun así, lo último que recomendaría es que la gente confíe en dietas extremas o cirugías radicales de redireccionamiento del estómago para solucionar un problema que, a menudo, es evitable. Si su nivel de glucosa en sangre en ayunas está por encima de 100, el momento de actuar es ahora. El Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP, Programa de Prevención de la Diabetes), un gran estudio multicéntrico de investigación, mostró que la gente con sobrepeso que tiene prediabetes puede reducir en un 58 % el riesgo de desarrollar diabetes si pierde sólo del 5 al 7 % de su peso corporal. Lo más importante es lograr hacer 150 minutos de actividad física cada semana: El esfuerzo físico ayuda a las células de los músculos a usar mejor la glucosa, y puede llevar a perder peso, lo que a su vez mantiene la diabetes a raya.

from about 6 million in 1980 to almost 19 million today. As this problem spirals out of control, researchers are racing to find new treatments for this devastating disease. Recently, scientists at Newcastle University in England reported that a 600-calorie-a-day diet appeared to reverse type 2 diabetes in a small group of patients who had diabetes for less than four years. Seven patients out of 10 were still diabetes-free three months after they stopped the extreme eightweek diet, which consisted of mealreplacement drinks and three daily servings of starchy vegetables. On the surgical front, a weightloss surgery known as a Roux-

en-Y gastric bypass has proven surprisingly effective at reversing type 2 diabetes: 80 percent of patients undergoing this surgery — which involves creating a pouch in the upper part of the stomach and attaching it farther down the small intestine — experience dramatic remission of their diabetes. These results are seen just days after surgery and before much weight loss occurs. Such findings have led to a surge of research attempting to understand how gastric bypass affects the regulation of blood sugar. While it's unclear exactly how this works, most theories focus on the previously under appreciated role of the small intestine and stomach as endocrine, or hormone-releasing, organs. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in particular seems to alter

specific hormones that help regulate the body's response to sugar. Still, the last thing I would recommend is that people rely on extreme diets or radical stomach-rerouting surgeries to solve an often preventable problem. If your fasting blood glucose level is above 100, the time to act is now. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a large multicenter research study, has shown that overweight people with pre-diabetes can reduce their risk for diabetes by 58 percent if they lose just 5 to 7 percent of their body weight. Most important is getting 150 minutes of physical exercise each week: Physical exertion helps muscle cells better use glucose and can lead to weight loss, which can help ward off diabetes.

to make an appointment with two different doctors,” she said. “Then, they gave me some antibiotics, but it never got better. I truly thought it was only an in-grown toe nail.” Finally, after multiple doctor visits and a trip to the emergency room, x-rays results showed the bone in her toe was missing. It was then she realized she would have to undergo surgery to have her toe amputated. Janie had surgery on February 22, 2018. “It was total negligence on my part. I have a family history on both my parents’ side of diabetes. And the root cause of my bone disappearing was because I wasn’t watching my blood sugar levels.” She recalled before her toe started

to hurt, she wasn’t watching what she ate, drank lots and lots of soda, and just sometimes completely disregarded her diabetes pills. “It was just hard for me to care. But getting an amputation really gives you a new mentality about life. The doctors said I could’ve lost my entire foot, and post-surgery it just made me appreciate life differently,” she said. Janie now advocates for anyone to get checks ups from their doctors, and if they are diagnosed with something such as diabetes to take of care of themselves and be responsible before it’s too late. “I really encourage everyone to practice self-health. If you want to be on this earth for a long time, then it’s really important that you take of yourself and listen to your doctors.”

of Americans, both home and abroad, who participated in World War I, considered the seminal conflict of the 20th century. World War I: Turning the Tide Forever stamps were dedicated in a special ceremony today at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, MO. “Even though the United States didn’t see action until the last year of the war, in 1918, American troops played an indispensable role in turning the tide of that war in favor of theAllies,” said dedicating official U.S. Postal Service General Counsel and Executive VP Thomas Marshall. “Today we pay tribute to the sacrifice of those soldiers, as well as the millions of supporters on the home front.” World War I was a four-year global conflict (1914-1918) that reshaped the map of Europe. The United States remained neutral until April 1917, when it declared war on Germany and entered on the side of the Allies — Britain,

France, and Russia. When the American Expeditionary Force, which ultimately grew to nearly 5 million troops, did finally engage in 1918, its actions helped end the war, thrusting the U.S. to the forefront of major world powers. The stamp art features a close-up of a member of the American Expeditionary Force holding the U.S. flag. Barbed wire can be seen in the background, as well as an airplane in flight and smoke rising up from the battlefield. The artwork was painted in airbrush on illustration board, a technique that evokes the propaganda posters used during World War I. Art director Greg Breeding designed the issuance with art by Mark Stutzman. News of the stamps is being shared using the hashtag #WorldWarIStamp. Customers may purchase the WWI: Turning the Tide Forever stamps through the Postal Store at usps.com/shop, by calling 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724) and at Post Office locations nationwide.

college, the less people I saw that looked like me.” I am a female and minority student in STEM, which means that there are fewer people that I can relate to and distinguish as my role model. However, the problem does not cause discouragement, but empowers me to continue studying hard and remain active. I write in an attempt to advocate for more participation of female minorities in the STEMrelated or medical fields. I was presented with the opportunity to become the President of an organization, Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science, whom promote diversity in the STEM field. I can’t wait to challenge myself with the new

leadership role, and disregard any comments that say, “You can’t do this,” as that is exactly what the opponent wants us to think! In short, confidence leads to victory. Likewise, in biology lecture, I am not afraid to answer the professor’s questions, and I have had encounters with students asking for advice on studying! Throughout my years in middle school and high school as a Hispanic female I was afraid to standout and engage in the class because I did not seem smart enough or capable. I am happy that I no longer hold the falsely acclaimed mind-set! Of course, the most important factor in my life is faith. When I experience motivational-droughts, I pray. Only after prayer am I capable of moving forward with a cleared mind-set and reinforced goal: to inspire and lead the selfdoubting yet intelligent female minority minds.

who have served in the military and in war wholeheartedly. Tom Botello has placed a significant commitment to preserving the historical contribution of his family who have served in the military and in war wholeheartedly. Of 12 family members, two girls and 10 boys, seven served in the military. Five brothers participated in WW II, Gregorio D. Botello, Trinidad D. Botello, Simon Botello, John D. Botello, and Crisantos D. Botello. And in the Korean War it was Domingo Botello, and Tom Botello. Upon the start of the war, they were all drafted, and they all answered the call. He was prompted to preserve the history of each family member after he learned that up to 750,000 Mexican American men served in World War II, earning more Medals of Honor and other decorations in proportion to their numbers than any other ethnic group. Unfortunately, the contributions of

these men were largely overlooked. And, as American society begin to recognize that memories of World War II and the sacrifices and achievements of the "Greatest Generation" were dying. To bring their stories out of the shadows, Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez put out a call to find stories that shared the Mexican American experience in World War II. With such a family legacy, Botello responded to that call by researching the service of each of his brothers, identifying battles and wars, awards, wounds, and conducting individual interviews to assure that each had an opportunity to share their individual experience. He said that there was no time to lose explaining that currently out of the five WW II Veterans, John is the only one still alive. Incidentally, Tom explained that John had the most service. He was wounded three times and he was a Staff Sergeant. “He is very proud of his service. When he came out, he was shell-shocked in a trauma, he suffered from PTSD. He had two episodes of malaria when he returned. The fact that what saved him was that he took the pills provided by

the military.” He added that John kept a diary while he was in service. It was 40 years after the war before any of his family got to see it. Botello further explained the impact of the war on his family, adding that their mother was most affected. "She was the catalyst that brought them back. Her prayers DAY IN AND DAY OUT. She had a special hour dedicated to praying for her sons. Her name was Jesusita," he continued. Tom who served in the Korean War was the only one that was not drafted. “It was a pride in our service that we had. I thought keeping record of what happened was important." He recalled the individual stories of his brother sharing the impact of each. “He told about the cold and of how deathly it was," he said about Simon who was in Europe when the U.S. entered the first battle fought in France. For each brother he continued to give accounts. Botello said that they all have bricks in the Lubbock War Memorial. And beyond that they have a history that will always define the commitment of their family to serve God, country, and family.

He fought for a year in a half, and there is where he lost part of his hearing after his tank was bombed. “Por suerte vivi (Luckily I lived),” he said. “Estuve allí hasta que terminó la guerra (I was there until the war was over).” In a gitty manner, Mata boasted that he had a German girlfriend while he was there serving. He also said that he was never fearful for his life, but always for his comrades. “Perdi muchos amigos (I lost many friends) …” as he spoke those words he got emotional. But as most war heroes and war stories go, his courage and his pride regained the moment. Mata went on explaining that later he was sent back to the U.S. and soon he was discharged.

He said he just lived life and kiddingly was now collecting his retirement check, and waiting.

grow a moustache with the aim of raising vital funds and awareness for men’s health issues. Over the past 14 years, millions of men have participated in "Movember" by proudly growing mustaches (or being supportive of the mustachegrowing process) to help change the face of men's prostate and testicular cancer issues. Latino Lubbock Magazine with Los Hermanos Famila urge Hispanic men to pull out their ‘stachetrimmers, and shave away your scruff, because November 1 marks the kick off of Movember. For 30 days, guys are asked to rock the furry faux pas in an effort to raise awareness locally.

"A couple of years ago we dedicated our annual Vamos a Pescar fishing event to members who have or are battled prostrate cancer," said Frank Garcia, event co-chair. He said that they purchased brochures and pamphlets related to prostrate cancer awareness, and share with participants. Plans to provide prostrate cancer information are underway to provide during various activities organized by Los Hermanos Familia. Including the 8th Annual Veteran's Reception on Nov. 9, 2018. "This is another event to continue building awareness and we encourage others to join our efforts," added Garcia. For more information or to donate, call (806)792-1212.

all 2018 is officially F here! But many are ask-

ing now that summer has officially left and the days are getting shorter by the minute – literally – one very important question: when does the time change and why? The history of daylight saving is tied to energy conservation. Switching to DST in the summer means more sunlight at night, which in turn means homes don't have to turn on lights as early. According to the U.S. Government , that leads to energy and fuel savings. For most, we get to sleep late an hour! So “fall back” with the end of Daylight Saving Time Sunday, Nov. 4, at 2 a.m.

Until 2007, Daylight Saving Time ran from April to mid-October. But then Congress extended the period, making it three weeks earlier and one week later. Don't forget, and enjoy the extra hour. INFOBOX ● When local daylight time is about to reach ● Sunday, November 4, 2018, 2 AM clocks are turned backward 1 hour to ●Sunday, November 4, 2018, 1 AM local standard time instead ●Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier on Nov. 4, 2018 than the day before. There will be more light in the morning. ●Also called Fall Back and winter time.

HAW MEMBERS: The embers of the Hispanic Association of Women held their annual Inspiradora and scholarship reception. Annually, the women hold a Winter Gala to raise funds for the scholarships provided. Congratulations ladies!

‘The Curse of La Llorona’ In theaters April 2019

here are many urban legends and T stories about ghosts, ghouls and supernatural beings from all cultures, but

na" "La Lloroie The Mov April 19, 2019

there is something extra terrifying about the Mexican fable of La Llorona (aka The Weeping Woman). As they say in the debut trailer for the New Line Cinema horror The Curse of La Llorona: “It’s a folktale…to

some.” The fable of La Llorona is about a horrifying apparition of a woman who is caught between heaven and hell. She sealed her own fate when she drowned her children in a jealous rage. After drowning her children, she threw herself in the river after them and wept in pain — now her tears are eternal (hence the name Weeping Woman). Now, she stalks the night looking for

children to replace her own. Directed by Michael Chaves (who will also direct Conjuring 3) and written by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis, The Curse of La Llorona is set in the ’70s with the titular supernatural terrorizing the life of a social worker (Linda Cardellini) and her own children. Their only hope to survive La Llorona’s deadly wrath may be a disillusioned priest (Raymond Cruz) and the mysticism he practices to keep evil at bay, on the fringes where fear and faith collide. The movie, which marks Chaves directorial debut, also stars Patricia Velasquez, Marisol Ramirez, Sean Patrick Thomas, Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen and Roman Christou. Conjuring mastermind James Wan produces alongside Gary Dauberman (IT and Annabelle franchises) and Emile Gladstone. Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Walter Hamada, Michelle Morrissey and Michael Clear are the executive producers. The film is set to haunt theaters and your nightmares on April 19, 2019.

No es sorprendente que muchos de estos eventos también llamen a una actualización de políticas. Estas son algunas transiciones comunes que pueden afectar a sus políticas de salud o seguros. Estado de las relaciones - un nuevo matrimonio trae una serie de grandes decisiones. Se mantendrá en el seguro médico de su empleador o opta por un plan familiar con su cónyuge? También es hora de actualizar a su beneficiario designado y asegurarse de que su cobertura sustituirá a los ingresos que su cónyuge confía. Esto puede ayudar a cubrir costes como los gastos domésticos y las deudas personales pendientes. El fin de un matrimonio también puede justificar cambios en las pólizas de seguros. Algunos acuerdos de divorcio pueden requerir nombrar a su ex cónyuge como beneficiario de su plan de seguro de vida para ayudar a cubrir obligaciones financieras como el apoyo a los niños o la pensión alimenticia.

ia de dar gracias! Muchas veces pensamos que somos los únicas que tenemos mala suerte, que no tenemos suficiente dinero, tenemos carros viejos y horribles o no tenemos c a s a bonita. Cuando vivíamos en el rancho ni sabíamos que éramos pobres. Teníamos casas que nos daba el patrón para vivir. Lo mas del tiempo la casa tenía solamente dos recamaras, un baño, la cocina y la sala. Nosotros nunca tuvimos un cuarto de recamara con solo una cama… siempre teníamos dos camas y dormíamos tres o cuatro en cada cama. Y dormíamos muy a gusto. Solo teníamos un carro y mi papa era el único que manejaba. Mi mama era buena costurera. Ella podía ir a una tienda de

ropa, vía un vestido y compraba material y nos hacia un vestido a mi hermana y yo. Para nosotros era como si fuera comprado en la tienda. Nunca nos hizo falta nada. Nunca pasamos hambres o fríos porque no teníamos hogar para dormir. Supimos que éramos pobres ya después que dejamos de vivir en el rancho. Pero nunca fuimos pobres en realidad. Siempre tuvimos el cariño de mis padres y hermanos y hermanas. ¿De qué doy gracias? Pues déjame pensar……de mis padres, mis siete hermanas y mis seis hermanos. ¡Que mas quiero! Que todos tengan un feliz Dia de dar Gracias. Editor's Note: Rosario Montez Smith grew up en un rancho in Levelland, and enjoys sharing her memories of living in rural West Texas.

Ernest moved his family to Lubbock in 1967 and started KLFB, the first Spanish AM radio station in West Texas.

For his efforts Ernest was awarded a Presidential Commendation from then President Richard Nixon. Ernest produced Lubbock’s first weekly Spanish community affairs TV program, “Si Se Puede”, which he hosted for 40 years. He was the City of Lubbock’s first Human Relations Director and served as one of the founding directors of the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center. Continuing his commitment to serve his community, Ernest began publishing West Texas Hispanic News, a weekly bilingual newspaper that ran for 41 years. In 1992 Ernest and Manuela started Lubbock’s KEJS-FM radio station that serves the West Texas area to this day. Through the use of media and civic involvement, Ernest made sure all West Texans, regardless of language or other barriers, were made aware of the important issues facing their families. He was a member of several civic boards and received several awards for a lifetime of service and commitment to the West Texas area. Ernest was an avid Astros fan and enjoyed their 2017 World Series Championship. Ernest and Manuela are members of Christ the King Catholic Church. Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather, he will be greatly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents, oldest son Ernest Barton, Jr., and younger brother Richard.

Birthday Memorial for Liandro R. Garcia November 6th

We love you very much, you're truly missed, your memory will never be forgotten. You were an amazing Husband, Father & Grandfather. Happy Birthday in Heaven from Your Family!

Happy Birthday Pete Lara

Nov. 26, 1958 - Oct. 9, 2017

Pete, Your joy was contagious, your love unforgettable, and your memory remains forever. Not a day goes by where you're not thought of, or reflected upon. You are loved by many, missed by all, and forever in our hearts.

Love, Jaime, Familia y amistades

In Remembrance of Alcario "Chayo" & Mary Lou "La Guera" Garcia The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again. Always in our hearts, Marina, Suzy, Socorro, Alcario Jr., Mary Lou, and Ismael

November Prayer

A PRAYER FOR TODAY Holy and Righteous Savior, I want to surrender my life, my body, and will to you. But I confess, there are little things (and maybe some big things), that I keep from ever placing on that altar. Things I don't want to give up. To the best of my ability, I will live for you today in a way that leaves nothing outside your Lordship and control. I offer you me — all that I have and am — to be yours today and all the forever I have. In Jesus' name. Amen. "I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship." ~ Romans 12:1

fast all these past months have gone, I'm grateful for the opportunity to have witnessed so many moments in sports or otherwise. So, before this year advances anymore, let's look at the moments we have in store for us these next few weeks before those too become part of our memories. As of deadline time, the undefeated and highly ranked number 8 in the Texas AP poll, the 8-0 Lubbock-Cooper Pirates are poised to enter the playoffs with what as far as I can remember, their strongest team they have ever had to put on the field. They have two more games before the regular season ends, Abilene-Wylie on the 2nd, and Randall on the 9th, before they begin their 2018 playoff journey. Another area team to watch are the71 Abernathy Antelopes who lead their district with two games remaining on the second against Roosevelt and the challenging one to end the season, at Idalou on the 9th in a 7:30 kickoff. I'm not ignoring New Deal, Shallowater or Estacado, all have had impressive seasons and I for one am

thankful to be a proud spectator as they move forward. To get an idea why we should be impressed, Dave Campbell’s football rankings are as follows: 2A Division I Knew Deal #3, 3A Division I Shallowater #4, 4A Division II Estacado #9, 5A Division II Lubbock Cooper #6, and finally 5A Division I Lubbock Coronado #10. The football talent on the South Plains is bountiful and something we need to keep an eye on these next few weeks. Good luck to all those teams and their parents and staff. On a bigger scale, the Red Raiders seem to be heading into the same territory they were in last year, that is another mediocre season with the difference being winning against some teams no one gave them a chance to beat at seasons start. Well they still have a chance, (so you're saying there's a chance), to turn this into a memorable season because here comes their opportunity to salvage it with the toughest two teams playing them here at home. The first challenge is against the #7 Sooners on the 3rd in a 7:00 kickoff to be followed by the #15 Longhorns on the 10th, time yet to be announced. Their last two opponents, Kansas State on the 17th and Baylor on Thanksgiving weekend will more than certainly decide the bowl game

Tech will be invited to when bowl invitations arrive, but for now it's how high can they go. Win three of four games and that 8-win season will look like a popular matchup to the television people, and to think what kind of invite a 9-3 record would bring. One step at a time but one thing that we have learned so far is, that past performances against an opponent doesn't mean anything this season. By the way, the Oklahoma game is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. kickoff, and we all know how tough it is to win here when the sun goes down. On that last thought, one surprising thing we should start to realize is that between the two Texas teams, the sun seems to be setting faster for the Cowboys rather than the Texans. Houston is leading the NFC north while the Cowboys are one game from the bottom on theirs. Dallas just fired their O-line coach while Houston is fine tuning their offensive attack. Also, the NBA is starting, for Cowboys fans we are thankful for that too. Happy Thanksgiving.

finished in a tie for 58th individually. The duo helped Tech post its lowest card of the tournament as the Red Raiders were a 1-under 287 over the final 18 holes, increasing its lead over sixth place Alabama, the No. 1 team in the Golfstat poll coming into the weekend. Tech ended the tournament at 25-over to top the Crimson Tide by 14 strokes. Mami Yamamoto and Anna Dong completed the Tech lineup with a pair of 2-over rounds, moving the twosome into a tie for 26th place at 9-over. Amy Taylor chipped in a 7-over card to finish in a tie for 39th while Destiny Arenas was 21-over to conclude her first collegiate event. The Red Raiders also topped three other top-50 teams as No. 49 SMU finished seventh at 42-over followed by No. 41 Texas A&M in

eighth at 44over and No. 40 Colorado in ninth at 45-over. Texas held on to defend its home course as the Longhorns were 9-under as a team to cruise to a seven-stroke victory over second-place Kent State. The Golden Flashes, who came into the round tied with Texas, enjoyed a 14-stroke advantage over third place Baylor and 19 swings over fourth place Florida. The Red Raiders close their fall slate in exactly a week at the Jim West Challenge hosted by Texas State. The two-day tournaments begins in San Marcos.

Garcia Sinks Seven Birdies In Strong Final Round In Austin

ofia Garcia sank seven birdS ies en route to leading Texas Tech to a fifth-place finish at the

Betsy Rawls Invitational held at the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin. All seven of Garcia’s birdies came during her first 11 holes as she moved all the way into a tie for 10th on the individual leaderboard after a 4-under-par 68 final round that moved her to 2-over for the tournament. Garcia, in her first semester back after missing all but one tournament a year ago due to injury, has recorded a top15 showing in all three of Tech’s events this season. Cecilie Nielsen added a similar under-par round as the freshman started her round with a birdie before draining 11-consecutive pars en route to a 1-under score. It was the second under-par score of Nielsen’s still young career as she
