‘Tis the Season
of giving in
San Diego
By Pablo J. Sáinz
Dr. Marc Matanza grew up seeing his parents setting the example of
being kind, and loving, to others who
were less fortunate.
“I had humble beginnings and had
very loving parents,” said Matanza,
who is a renowned chiropractor at
San Diego A.C.T.I.V.E. Chiropractic and Wellness Center, in Chula
Vista. “As a child, I would always
receive gifts for Christmas. My family knew the value of kindness. So
every Christmas holiday, my family
would buy extra gifts to donate to our
local toy drive and donate to the local
Goodwill. It was a way to show an
act of kindness in our community.”
Now Dr. Matanza is following his
parents’ example and his San Diego
A.C.T.I.V.E. Chiropractic and Wellness Center is currently organizing its
own Holiday Toy Drive to benefit
hundreds of children served by South
Bay Community Services, a social
services agency.
“It is heart-warming to know that
every toy donated went to a child in
the surrounding community who may
otherwise not have been able to open
a present on Christmas morning,”
Matanza said. “This is a way for our
local South Bay community to get together and give back hope to our children.”
So far, the center has collected
many toys that will bring a smile to
many children in southern San Diego
County this Christmas season, all
thanks to the generosity of Dr.
Matanza’s patients and friends. Those
who donate a new toy will not only
have the satisfaction of helping a child,
but also of receiving perks, such as
gift certificates to local restaurants and
even to be able to win a massage session at Dr. Matanza’s practice.
“The response so far has been
amazing with our current patients and
local patrons of South Bay community. The more, the merrier,” he said.
“Our patient’s have been supportive,
giving and encouraging in response
to the Holiday Toy Drive.”

Fasting for immigration reform was something
Maya Medina had to do!
By Jennifer Chung Klam
Political activism may not be a priority for most teenagers, but one local teen takes her ability to make a
difference very seriously.
Chula Vista resident Maya Medina,
17, recently returned from Washington, D.C., where she joined the Fast
for Families movement to protest congressional inaction on immigration reform legislation.
Activists fasting just outside the
Capitol are entering their 25th day
without food. They began the fast Nov.
12 in response to House Speaker John
Boehner’s refusal to schedule a vote
on the comprehensive immigration
measure before the House. The
Democratic-run Senate passed an
immigration bill earlier this year, but the
Republican-run House has yet to take
up the issue.
At stake is a path to citizenship for
the nation’s 11 million undocumented
immigrants, nearly a quarter of whom
reside in California. San Diego
County has close to 180,000 undocumented residents, according to the
Public Policy Institute of California.
In the absence of immigration reform, families and communities continue to suffer the impact of deportations, exploitation and abuse at work,
deaths along the border and fear of
living in the shadows.
“It doesn’t make sense that people
have to die because they want to be
part of this country,” Medina said.
“These are moms and dads trying to
take care of families. That’s all
they’re trying to do, and we’re stopping them. They are literally dying on
our doorsteps.”
Medina took time away from college applications and classes at High
Tech High Chula Vista to fly out to
Washington on Nov. 17. She joined
other fasters in the large white tents
set up on the lawn at the National
Mall, and for two days she consumed
nothing but water.
Medina said she was nourished by
a warm and welcoming community
of activists and advocates. Others
dropped in to share prayers, encouragement or their own experiences.
She was moved by the heartrending
and inspirational stories she heard.
“It was awesome to be able to hear
the things that people shared,”
Medina said. “It makes it easier for
you to connect with them on a more
personal level and understand where
they’re coming from when you see
how people have been affected by
immigration and deportation.”
During her two-day stay, speakers and special guests stopped by the
tent, including Rep. Rush Holt, a
Democrat from New Jersey, and
feminist Gloria Steinem. Steinem
kicked off a march to Speaker
Boehner’s office, where the fasters
delivered a letter requesting a meeting with the congressman.
The Fast for Families campaign has
drawn support from the White House.

Devoción por la Guadalupana: “Hermosa tradición de los inmigrantes mexicanos”
Por Pablo J. Sáinz
La devoción y emoción que muestran los católicos latinos por
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe es el
reflejo del calor que la cultura latina
brinda al catolicismo romano, de
acuerdo a un experto en doctrina
católica.
Así que los católicos estadounidenses no deben sorprenderse si
cientos de fieles acuden este domingo
8 de diciembre a la procesión y misa
anual en el centro de San Diego en
honor de la llamada Morenita del
Tepeyac, dijo Tim Staples, director de
apologética y evangelización de
Catholic Answers, una organización
sin fines de lucro en El Cajón que se
dedica a defender la fe católica.
“Los mexicanos católicos han
traído con ellos una hermosa tradición
llena de amor y de pasión por Nuestra
Señora”, dijo Staples. “Esa emoción
que ellos sienten es algo que quizá a
los católicos de Estados Unidos se les
hace raro, pues aquí la cultura de
católica es más fría. Pero en Latinoamérica es normal esas muestras de
afecto tan emotivas por la Virgen
María”.
Este año la procesión será el

de San José, ubicada en el 1528 4th

La ruta es subir por la 3rd Ave &

a B St., donde está ubicado el San

medio día se llevará a cabo una Santa
Misa Mariana celebrada por los
Obispos Cirilo Flores y Gilberto
Chávez, ambos de origen mexicano.
La Confederación Guadalupana de
San Diego, con el apoyo de la
Comisión Hispana, es la organización
que coordina la celebración. Grupos
parroquiales y movimientos apostólicos llevarán sus estandartes en la
procesión que también incluirá carros
alegóricos.
“La celebración del día de la
Virgen de Guadalupe es un gran día
para el pueblo hispano y para todos
los católicos en el área de San Diego”, dijo Rodrigo Valdivia, canciller
de la Diócesis de San Diego. “Celebramos no solamente el mensaje de
amor y esperanza que nos trae La
Morenita pero también el don de la
fe en su hijo Jesús que ella nos ayuda
a mantener y transmitir”.

many Mexican shoppers to
this side of the border.
In Texas’ Sun City, some
Mexican nationals even arrived early in the week to camp
out at a Best Buy store. A man
identified only as Victor said he
and five friends from Chihuahua and Durango set up their
El Paso encampment November 24 in anticipation of the big
day.
“We come for televisions,
movies and games,” Victor
said. “We spent $6,000 last
year.” Later, a reporter noted
the predominance of Chihuahua license plates outside the
store, but few from Texas or
neighboring New Mexico.
“I mainly come to El Paso
for the discounts that aren’t
given over there,” said customer
Marilyn Raquel, who works as
an economist. “Sadly, we have
to invest in another country.”
Mexican media coverage of
U.S. Black Friday pursued
four basic angles: the business
story, the crime story, the social story, and the labor-management story.
A dispatch from the Notimex news service cited the National Retail Federation in calculating that fewer people would
turn out for U.S. Black Friday
this season, with an estimated
140 million shoppers braving the
crowds in comparison with the
147 million last year.
“It’s evident that U.S. residents have the Christmas spirit
despite their caution in purchases,” Pam Goodfellow, NRF
spokeswoman, was quoted by
Notimex.
The Mexican daily El Universal reported on outbreaks of
violence and chaos in the San
Diego area, an injury from a
scuffle at a Florida store line
and a police shooting of a suspected robber in Chicago,
among other incidents.
“Blows, stabbed victims,
shots and lost babies are some
of the events that happened on
the biggest sales day for U.S.
business,” led off an article
posted on El Universal’s home
page.
A reporter for a Tijuana
newspaper contrasted the
scenes of hundreds of people
jammed outside San Diego
area stores with a crowd of
1,000 people lined up for a
Thanksgiving dinner served up
by Salvation Army volunteers.
Lending her hand to feed
the hungry, Alma Mitchell
urged people to return to the
giving essence of the holiday.
Across the U.S., providers
were hard-pressed to supply
the legions of hungry people this
Thanksgiving. Only a few
weeks ago, on November 1,
food stamps were cut by an
average $36 per month for a
family of four, affecting an estimated 47 million people just
in time for the 2013 holiday
season.
On its website, La Jornada
gave a prominent spot to the
Black Friday labor protests organized by the Wal-Mart
worker advocacy organization,
Our Walmart, and its allies.
Bigger in scope and turnout
than last year’s actions in support of higher pay and improved working conditions, this
year’s protests reportedly
drew tens of thousands of
people from coast-to-coast.
More than 100 people were
arrested in different cities
across the nation. Wal-Mart
downplayed the demonstrations, claiming fewer than 20
workers participated.
“That’s laughable and it is
disrespectful to workers and
supporters who are raising real
concerns about low wages ..,”
a spokesperson for the United
Food and Commercial Workers e-mailed a writer for
Salon.com.
In recent years Black Friday has become not only a
commercial ritual in all the
NAFTA nations, but a multidimensional cultural phenomenon as well.
Black Friday encompasses
mass consumerism, linguistic
evolution, transnational commerce, shopping tourism, advertising power, and social hysteria.
In the age of social media,
the day is sensationally portrayed for posterity on YouTube, where scenes of fights,
shouting customers and police
take-downs of belligerent shoppers abound.
In the U.S., Black Friday
has also emerged as a new day
of worker rights in the last two
years.
The day comes amid a
week-long blow-out of drinking, feasting, binging, spending
and venting. It begins with the
tavern-packed Blackout Wednesday, as the evening is called
in the spirits serving industry,
followed by Turkey Day, or
“Gray Thursday” in commercial lingo, and extending into the
big shopping adventure.
But the action doesn’t stop
on Friday. “With Black Friday
savings all weekend!” barks a
radio ad. For those who miss
out on the mall or super-store
fun, there is now “Cyber Monday,” a day in which online
sales could exceed $2 billion
this year.
In monetary terms, this
year’s Black Friday in the U.S.
and El Buen Fin in Mexico had
mixed results, according to the
preliminary reports.
Mexico’s National Confederation of Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism
reported sales up from last year,
topping $15 billion for the three
days of El Buen Fin, which
means “The Good Week-end”
in English.
On the other hand, the UBS
Mexico business advisory firm
monitored department stores
and concluded that it did not
document “the great multitudes” of the first two years
of the event.
A U.S. analyst interviewed
by Marketwatch.com blamed
less-than-stellar sales in this
country on lagging pay. Wall
Street was not overly impressed by Black Friday 2013.
Although the Nasdaq was up
15 points in Friday’s partial
trading, the Dow and S&P 500
were down 11 and 1 points,
respectively.
To paraphrase a former
U.S. president: “It’s the wages,
stupid!”

probe into a full-blown organized crime and public corruption scandal that threatened to
bring down the state’s power
structure. In the Land of Enchantment of the 1940s, illicit
gaming was an open industry.
“There were slot machines
at the service station and prostitutes hanging around,” Mesilla Valley resident Gerald
Smith recalled. “It was like Las
Vegas. It was totally corruptthe whole state.”
A retired New Mexico State
University administrator, Quintin Ford, too, has vivid memories of the era, and even has
gaming artifacts including a
British-style slot machine and
a “punch-board.” Widely available in bars, a punch board held
small pieces of paper that were
removed from the back with a
key and contained eight possible winning number combinations with prizes of up to ten
bucks.
“There was table gambling
and roulette gambling in the
more organized sense, but that
was not unusual in everywhere
in New Mexico,” Ford added.
Prior to the rise of Las Vegas, mobsters from Cleveland
and other Mafia strongholds
were scoping out New Mexico
as a potential “gambling Mecca,” according to Paula Moore,
author of a 2008 book on the
Cricket Coogler case.
Coogler’s mysterious death,
which smelled of murder,
stirred law enforcement into
closing illegal gambling houses
that operated between Las
Cruces and El Paso, including
three businesses in Anapra, a
small community on the New
Mexico-Texas line which later
became part of the city of
Sunland Park.
In an interesting tidbit uncovered by Moore, the modern-day water supply problems
Sunland Park residents confront are nothing new. Back in
the 1940s, some Anapra residents complained that one of
the gambling houses had priority use of a well.
Called the “hottest spot” between Las Cruces and the border by Moore, Anapra was
strategically placed to draw the
potential, steady clientele from
Fort Bliss in El Paso.
“Some FBI informants alleged that protection pay-offs
from those three and other
joints between (Las Cruces)
and Juarez were paid to state
politicians, a judge and Sheriff
Apodaca,” Moore said in an
interview earlier this year.
In the months after Cricket
Coogler’s body was recovered,
a grand jury convened to probe
the case issued a slew of indictments. In an unprecedented
fashion, grand jury-led law enforcement raids shut down
Dona Ana County gambling
houses. Dona Ana County
Sheriff Happy Apodaca and his
friend, State Corporation Commissioner Dan Sedillo, were
tried on a variety of charges
ranging from gambling to morals violations but either acquitted or otherwise set free.
In addition, Apodaca was
accused of raping a Canadian
national and at least one other
local woman, a 17-year-old
domestic worker, but never
convicted of any crimes in
those cases, according to
Moore.
In 1950, however, Apodaca
was less lucky. Along with
New Mexico State Police
Chief Hubert Beasley and
state police officer Roy Sandman, Apodaca was convicted
of civil rights violations arising
from the torture of AfricanAmerican vet Wesley Byrd,
who was initially held incommunicado as a suspect in
Coogler’s murder. Conducted
in the state capital of Santa Fe,
the trial proceeded far from the
local pressures of Dona Ana
County and Las Cruces.
The three men received
one-year prison sentences and
were sent to La Tuna federal
prison down the road in Anthony, Texas, but got out early.
The Santa Fe civil rights trial
of the three lawmen was the
first of its kind in a nation at
the dawn of the Civil Rights
Movement.
In a 2005 book, Sandman’s
son, the late Peter R. Sandman,
challenged the culpability of his
father as well as aspects of
Byrd’s torture account, a story
which was backed up by the
FBI.
The author, who was a very
young child at the time of the
Coogler-plus scandals, contended that his father was an
honest cop who was killed in
1953 after he was close to
breaking the case on his own.
Peter Sandman also questioned
the mysterious deaths of other
individuals linked to the Coogler
episode.
As for Happy Apodaca, the
former sheriff and ex-con later
returned to politics and was
elected a magistrate judge in
Dona Ana County in 1974. He
died in 1981 after falling from
his roof.
Both Moore and Sandman
concluded that all the heat generated from the death of
Cricket Coogler caused organized crime groups to pull back
from their grandiose plans for
New Mexico.
Citing Hillerman, Moore
opined that “if it hadn’t been
for the Cricket Coogler case,
Santa Fe might well have been
Las Vegas and maybe Las
Cruces would have been a
kind of Reno.”
Not unlike criminal enterprises in Italy or Mexico, mafia
interests in 1940s’ New Mexico commanded a complex system of official pay-offs to different levels of government
and law enforcement and held
exclusive rights to local markets, using intimidation when
necessary to secure their business supremacy.
“They threatened tavern
and café owners who refused
to allow their (gaming) machines onto their property,”
Sandman wrote. “Proprietors
used their machines or else!”
As Moore points out in her
book, New Mexico eventually
turned out to be a gambling
center, albeit not quite on the
scale of Las Vegas. Nonetheless, the contemporary revenues generated by legalized
gaming make the amount of
money that traded hands in the
1940s look like peanuts.
In a recent report, the New
Mexico Racing Commission
and Gaming Control Board,
calculated the money flowing
through the state in the racing
and casino industries was in the
$1.55 billion ballpark for fiscal
year 2012. The number excludes money spent on lottery
tickets.
Just up the road from the
Anapra gambling joints raided
in the 1940s, the Sunland Park
Racetrack and Casino offers
slots and seasonal, live horse
racing. Growing from bingo in
the 1980s, gaming has become

Winter Wonder Jam, produced
by students in the college’s Music Industry program.
Set for 7-10 p.m. Dec. 6,
concert-goers will be treated
to music ranging from rock,
pop, jazz, acoustic and hip- hop.
Headlining this year’s show
is the genre-defying group,
Lyrical Groove, a 2013 San

best hip-hop artists. Sharing the
Cuyamaca stage will be the
heavy metal sounds of It All

band, D.L.O.D. (Digital Lizards of Doom) and rock/jazz
instrumentalist Jay Williams.
Admission to the annual
event is three cans of food to
be donated to the San Diego

The entirely student-produced event is designed to
teach students what it takes to
put on a large-scale production.
Music Industry Studies is a
transfer degree program that
focuses on all aspects of developing a career in the music
industry, providing training and
instruction in music, technology, and business.
When Lyrical Groove’s lead
artist and founding band member Kendrick Dial steps foot

daughter at home, the realworld demands are pressing.
So for now, he juggles music gigs – of which there are
many and the audiences varied – with his day job.
Lyrical Groove was formed
to have live music accompany
his performance of poetry. The
collaboration began with friend
and drummer, Glenn “GK”
Sanders and keyboardist Mike
Smith. The group officially
formed in November 2010, after a gig at the Ruby Room in
San Diego. Guitarist Mike
“Token” Benedetto, and bass
player Jacob Miranda were
next to come on board. In
2012, vocalist Brisa Lauren
signed on.
The band is currently working on its first full-length album.

Angels and Devils Battle Again in San Diego’s Most
Popular Holiday Show at San Diego REP
San Diego’s longest-running
professional theatre production
is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year, but Lucifer is
sneering. The F. Scott Fitzgerald-quoting Prince of Darkness and his minions are making plans to ruin Christmas.
“La Pastorela del Cielo,” the
newest in Teatro Mascara
Magica’s award-winning series
of Mexican-inspired Christmas
musicals, once again features
the timeless battle between
Lucifer’s forces of evil and
Michael the Archangel’s champions of goodness set in today’s
world of chaos and hope. Angels and devils do battle in 2013
disguises including zombies, the
Lone Ranger and Tonto, Captain Kirk and Spock, and the
Man of Steel. Even the Great
Gatsby throws a party, Old
Sport.
“La Pastorela is our gift to
this great community,” said
playwright Dr. Max Branscomb. “It is a lot of fun and a
reminder that people of good
will can make a difference in
our world.”
“La Pastorela del Cielo” is
a contemporary borderlands
twist on the traditional story of
the shepherds’ journey to
PastoDevils
Bethlehem to witness the first
Christmas. Called to action by
Archangels Michael and Gabriel, the shepherds face temptation and danger from evil
Lucifer and his nasty crew.
The bilingual script is primarily
in English with Christmas carols sung in Spanish.
Written by Dr. Max Branscomb and directed by William
Virchis, “La Pastorela del
Cielo” runs Dec. 12-15 and 1822 at 7:30 p.m., and 2 p.m.
Dec. 14, 15, 21 and 22 at the
Lyceum Theater in Horton
Plaza. Tickets are $15 for
adults, $10 for students, military and groups and $7 for children under 12 or groups of 10
or more. For reservations call
(619) 544-1000.
A pastorela is the tale of the
shepherd’s journey to Bethlehem to witness the first Christmas. A journey fraught with
temptation, distraction and mortal peril as the devils try to prevent the shepherds from reaching their special destination.
“ACTOS” presents vignettes of the challenges of power
struggles in contemporary U.S.
and Latin American society.
The one-act plays touch on
the following topics: a USMexico border crossing, where
supernatural help is summoned
to cross the line in safety; a
revolutionary debate that takes
place in the stars between poet
and freedom-fighter; and a
wake-up call of the Chicana’s
fight for workplace in a silly
comedy of the ‘70s. The final
play transports the audience
into the new genre of “Narco
Novela,” about life in the drug
world of Bogota, Columbia.
The devotion and emotion
that Latino Catholics show for
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the
reflection of the passion that
Latino culture brings to Roman
Catholicism, according to an
expert on Catholic doctrine.
So American Catholics
should not be surprised if hundreds of faithful gather for the
annual procession and Mass on
Sunday, Dec. 8th, in downtown
San Diego, in honor of the
Morenita del Tepeyac, said

Catholic Answers, a non-profit
organization in El Cajon that is
dedicated to defending the
Catholic faith.

Aunque el consumo de
grasas trans en Estados Unidos
ha venido disminuyendo gracias a las medidas tomadas por
el gobierno en los últimos años,
hace poco sorprendió el a-nuncio de la Agencia de Drogas y
Alimentos – FDA – de que las
grasas trans ya no estarán más
en la lista de alimentos seguros.
Eso quiere decir que los
alimentos que contienen dichas
grasas serán erradicados del
mercado lo que beneficiará a
muchos comensales distraídos
que sin saberlo ponen en peligro
cotidianamente su salud.
De acuerdo con la FDA la
reducción en la ingesta de
gasas trans tiene el potencial
de prevenir miles de ataques
al corazón y muchas muertes
al año. Generalmente cuando
leemos, vemos o escuchamos
este tipo de estadísticas las
asociamos con un concepto
abstracto del que solemos
excluirnos. En otras palabras
pensamos, o sentimos que eso
no nos toca o no nos pasa a
nosotros.
La mala noticia es que si
nos toca. Hacemos parte de
esas estadísticas y si no actuamos o tomamos conciencia de
ciertas amenazas, podemos
enfermarnos y morir.
Pero volvamos a las grasas
trans. Ya sabemos todos que
son nefastas para la salud,
pero, ¿de dónde salieron?
En 1890 el nobel de química
Paul Sabatier desarrolló la
química de hidrogenación de
vapores y a partir de ahí, años
después, en 1901 Wilhelm
Normann patentó el proceso
para convertir aceites líquidos
en mantecas sólidas.
Así fue que, enterado de la
importancia de las grasas
endurecidas en términos alimentarios para el mundo del
siglo XX, Normann construyó
la primera planta productora en
Warrington, Inglaterra, poco
después Procter& Gamble se
haría con los derechos de la
patente en Estados Unidos y
daría inicio al gran mercado de
las grasas trans. Estas grasas
reemplazaban las grasas animales, de uso hasta entonces,
que resultaban costosas y por
lo tanto poco rentables a nivel
industrial.
Entonces, ¿qué son? Son
sustancias químicas que hacen
que ciertos alimentos creados
de manera artificial sean más
durables y tengan buen sabor.
Están en las margarinas en
barra, en papas, pizzas y
pasteles congelados, en productos de panadería y pastelería industrial, en algunos
alimentos procesados, como

for Our Lady,” Staples said.
“That emotion they feel is something that perhaps Catholics in
the United States find strange,
because here Catholic culture
is more cold. But in Latin
America it is normal to see
these exciting displays of affection for the Virgin Mary.”
This year the procession will
be on Sunday, December 8,
starting at 10 a.m. at the St.
Josepth Cathedral, located at
1528 4th Ave., and ending at
Golden Hall, where at noon
Bishop Cirilo Flores and Bishop
Gilberto Chavez will celebrate
a Marian Mass.
The Confederación Guadalupana de San Diego, with the
support of the Hispanic Commission, is the organization that
coordinates the celebration.
Parish groups and apostolic
movements will carry their
banners in the procession that
will include floats.
“The celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe is a great day
for the Hispanic people and to
all Catholics in the area of San
Diego,” said Rodrigo Valdivia,
chancellor of the Diocese of
San Diego. “We celebrate not
only the message of love and
hope that La Morenita brings
but also the gift of faith in his
son Jesus that she helps us
maintain and share.
The celebration of the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe
goes back to December 12,
1531, when, according to Catholic tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared before a Mexican Indigenous man named Juan Diego.
The image of La Guadalupana
played an important role in the
evangelization of indigenous
peoples in the Americas.

Valdivia no quiso dar una
declaración a fondo sobre las
críticas que la Iglesia Católica
Romana recibe de otras denominaciones cristianas por su
énfasis en la veneración y
oraciones hacía María.
“Mi cargo es uno de ayudar
en la coordinación y promoción
de este evento, como de tantos
otros en la iglesia local, y no
uno de entrar en polémica”, dijo
el canciller de la diócesis. “Hay
varias fuentes de información
sobre las apariciones de la
virgen para los que tienen
interés de profundizar su
conocimiento”.
La celebración de la aparición de Nuestra Señora de
Guadalupe se remota al 12 de
diciembre de 1531, cuando,
según la tradición católica, la
Virgen María se presentó
delante de un indígena mexicano llamado Juan Diego. La
imagen de la Guadalupana jugó
un papel importante en la
evangelización de los indígenas
en el continente americano,
según Staples.
Durante la procesión del
año pasado, María Félix, presidenta de la Confederación
Guadalupana, aclaró que la
Virgen María no es una diosa
para los católicos.
“De ninguna manera la
consideramos una diosa”,
aclaró. “María es la madre

Crowdismo, an Hispanic startup targeting Latino Medina Fasting
crowdfunding market niche
for reform
What: By serving the Hispanic entrepreneurial marketplace, Crowdismo is a relatively new startup that is taking a fresh approach towards
the already crowded crowdfunding market.
Why is it important: New
media ventures targeting the
Latino market are learning that
culture, and not language, is the
binding substance that Hispanics have in common. Online and
offline strategies are equally
important so as to build engagement, particularly if businesses want to be perceived
as community-relevant.
As commented by Forbes’
Giovanni Rodriguez back in September, Hispanics are beginning to understand that startups
from a wide range of creative
disciplines -technology, media,
arts and design- have massive
impact on local economies.
They can help create jobs. They
can help create tax revenue.
Best of all, they can help create a new identity for the entire
Hispanic community.
Or as Vista Hispano said
in February, the power and influence of the U.S. Latino collective is undeniable: if the
U.S. Hispanic market were a
nation, it would boast one of
the largest economies in the
world, with spending power of
US $1.2 trillion. The realities
of today’s Hispanic market are
that of opportunity, motivation,
aspiration, altruism and hustle.
Crowdismo (https://www.
crowdismo.com/) is a Latino
crowdfunding platform founded by José Huitrón and José
Guevarra, aimed at powering
creativity and innovation within
the Latino community through
crowdfunding. Crowdismo is a
digital destination and site for
individuals to join a groundswell
of people driven by the will to
help power the prolific.
Here’s how it works:
1. Pitch your project to an
online community of early
adopters and believers.
2. Incentivize backers to
pledge to your project with
unique rewards.
3. Hit project’s funding goal.
The belief is that Crowdismo
will have an enormous impact
on the Central Coast, among
other communities with thriving Latino populations. Huitrón
believes that not only tech companies but also the whole Hispanic creative economy deserve funding, and that Crowdismo could be the way to do
it by creating jobs, tax revenue,
and even help reshape the identity of the entire Latino communities.
Huitron is quite optimistic
about Hispanic philanthropy
statistics. According to Experian Simmons data, 47% of
Hispanics living in the United
States donated to a charity or
nonprofit philanthropic organization in 2011. According to a
Forbes study released last
year, 69% of Hispanic survey
respondents ranked the importance of helping people in need
very highly. So, Crowdismo
capitalizes on the philanthropic
attitudes and creative energy
of the Hispanic community.

This was Medina’s first time
fasting for a cause, but she is
no stranger to political activism. She has participated in
parades and rallies in support
of issues including AIDS
awareness, reproductive health
care, gender equality and immigration, said her mother,
Claudia Martinez, who works
with Planned Parenthood.
“I’m extremely proud of her,
not just about her being there
physically, but the dedication
and passion she’s shown,”
Martinez said of her daughter.
“When she came back, I saw
a different person. She grew
up a little bit in that time, and it
was amazing to see her drive,
her passion for it, and how
much pride she took in standing up for others.”
Medina’s grandfather is
Eliseo Medina, one of the organizers of the Fast for Families campaign. He is among a
core group of fasters – including Dae Joong Yoon of the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium
and Cristian Avila with Mi Familia Vota – who have vowed
to go without food until immigration reform is passed or
doctors determine their lives
are at risk.
He is a longtime labor activist who participated in the
historic United Farm Workers’
strike in 1965 in Delano, Calif., while a teenager himself.
He worked alongside Cesar
Chavez and would serve as the
United Farm Workers’ national
vice president and go on to
work with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)
for 27 years.
“I’ve seen him take action
for what he believes in his entire life,” Medina said of her
grandfather. “He’s one of my
heroes. He’s used his power,
his smarts to make a difference
in our world, even if it’s slow.
It was an honor to be by his
side, to take action as well and
to follow in his footsteps.”
Medina’s grandmother
worked with California Rural
Legal Assistance and is now a
judge. Her aunt, Elena Medina,
is an attorney for SEIU, and
accompanied Medina to Washington. She is still there with
the fasters
“I have had amazing people
to look to for guidance.
They’re some of the best role
models in my life,” Medina
said. “When I realized I had
the opportunity to actually take
action and do something, to be
a small part of a really big
movement … I wanted to take
a stand and tell people what I
believe in.”
The activists have a permit
to be on the National Mall
through Dec. 31. As the year
comes to a close, the fasters
grow weaker and continue to
shed pounds.
What if immigration reform
isn’t passed this year?
“It would be really hard to
hear that,” Medina said. “At
same time, my grandfather is
not only stubborn, but very persistent, and this will be something he continues to work on
no matter what. We’re not going to stop pushing for this.
“We’re still confident.”

GUEST EDITORIAL:
20 Years After Escobar’s Death, the
Drug War Drags On
By Teo Ballve
Twenty years ago this month, U.S. authorities helped bring down Colombian drug lord
Pablo Escobar, but Washington’s global war
on drugs has not let up. In fact, it has become
costlier, bloodier, more widespread and futile.
Escobar died in a hail of bullets on Dec. 2,
1993, fleeing from police on a rooftop in his
native city of Medellin. It took a 3,000-strong
elite force of Colombian police — supported
by U.S. intelligence agencies and $73 million
in aid that year alone — to bring down the
drug baron.
Today, the war on drugs costs U.S. taxpayers more than $51 billion a year. Colombia itself has received more than $10 billion in
military assistance from Washington since
Escobar’s death.
But U.S. authorities have almost nothing to
show for it. In fact, a major study published
by a British medical journal this fall showed
that illegal drugs have actually become cheaper
and more potent over the last 20 years.
Like any lucrative industry, the drug trade
exhibits Hydra-like resiliency: Cut off one head
and two more sprout in its place.
After Escobar’s demise, for instance,
Colombia’s cocaine business fragmented into
micro-cartels controlled by armed militias, giving Mexican cartels a stronger foothold in the
global supply chain. Although Colombia and
Peru are the world’s top producers of cocaine,
it’s the Mexican cartels that move the product
into the United States.
And the drug business is expanding geographically — in part, due to the supposed
success of anti-drug efforts. So, business is
not just booming; it’s moving. Analysts call it
the balloon effect: Squeeze the trade in one
place and it simply bulges up elsewhere.
With Caribbean maritime routes heavily patrolled by the Pentagon, the cartels have made
Central America their main transshipment
point. One reflection of the shift is that Honduras is now home to the murder capital of
the world — a title once held by Escobar’s
hometown of Medellin.
Today’s violence is unprecedented, even
when compared to the bloodiest days of the
Medellin cartel. Since 2006, drug-related violence has claimed the lives of more than
70,000 people in Mexico alone. And the murder rate in Guatemala is now higher than it
was during the country’s 36-year civil war,
which was a globally recognized genocide.
Desperate for an end to the carnage, Latin
American leaders have increasingly clamored
for a paradigm shift in drug policy. At the U.N.
General Assembly in September, for example,
they made a collective call for drug control to

Promises made, promises broken. Pension fund
cost continue to rise!
By Mike Aguirre
Stanford pension researchers report that in
2009-2010, the annual service retirement benefit for miscellaneous San Diego City Employees Retirement System (SDCERS) retirees
was $39,032, notably higher than the 20-system average ($31,912) and third highest among
the state’s 20 largest independent pension systems. For safety retirees, the average annual
service retirement benefit was $66,431, again
higher than the 20-system average ($64,851)
and eighth highest among those systems.
Increasing pension costs compounded the
challenges posed by a sharp decline in revenues.
According to Stanford pension researchers, San
Diego City pension costs increased from 6.5
percent of total city expenditures in 1999 to 14.2
percent in 2011. In 1999, the city’s annual
required contribution to SDCERS totaled $229.1
million, or an annual average growth rate of 15.3
percent. On average, pension costs grew 7.3
percent faster than other city expenditures. The
costs continue to grow to this year’s contribution
of $275 million.
For Fiscal Year 2014, the SDCERS ARC
was determined by the SDCERS’ actuarial
valuation to be $275.4 million as of June 30,
2012. This is an increase of $44.3 million from
the Fiscal Year 2013 Adopted Budget, $27.0
million of which is due to the effects of
Proposition B.
Taxpayers were told there would be savings from the “pensionable pay freeze” negotiated in labor contracts in place for the next
five years that would reduce taxpayer payments
to the pension.
However, on 8 November 2013 the SDCERS
Board of Administration agreed to lower the
assumed rate of return on pension investments
which will increase the amount taxpayers will
have to pay into the pension. The pension board
admitted the lower discount rate will increase
taxpayer contributions to the pension.
SDCERS can continue to raise the amount
taxpayers have to pay into the pension system
by further reductions in the SDCERS discount
rate. In fact Stanford University pension experts recommend a “risk free” discount rate
because it coincides with the risk free payment
obligation governments assume under their
pensions like the one in place in San Diego.
The Stanford researchers provided a critical
analysis of the San Diego City pension:
The financial health of SDCERS declined
steadily from 1997 to 2010, though the decline accelerated in recent years. Using the
actuarial value of assets, its funded ratio
under the assumed 7.75 percent discount
rate fell from 94.2 percent in 1997 to 62.1
percent in 2010, the date of its latest actuarial valuation. Although SDCERS saw a
high positive return on its investments in
2010-2011, the system still has yet to realize the full extent of its 2008-2009 losses in
the actuarial value of its assets, and so its
funded ratio on an actuarial basis will improve only marginally as the recent gains
are applied to offset past losses. Based on
the market value of assets, SDCERS has a
current funded ratio of 67.8 percent.
SDCERS currently fails to meet the 80 percent minimum funded ratio requirement, even
at its 7.75 percent investment rate assumption.
At this risk-free rate, SDCERS’ funded ratio
is 44.4 percent, well below the 80 percent
benchmark.
This is the third time SDCERS has lowered
its discount rate since 2008, when it changed
from 8.0% to 7.75%. The next change was in
2011 to 7.50. The SDCERS press release announcing the reduction to 7.25% explained:
“If the two major market downturns of
the last decade have taught us anything, it’s
that pension plans need to manage risk,”
stated Cheiron CEO and principal consulting actuary Gene Kalwarski. “Trustees for
any plan should decide how much risk, if
any, they are willing and can afford to take.
Based on that risk appetite, the appropriate funding and investment strategies will
emerge. SDCERS has adjusted the rate
based on their risk appetite and appropriate funding strategies for the long term
health of the System.”
Following market trends over the past decade, lowering the discount rate has become
more common among municipal pension systems across the country and within California.
According to a 2012 survey by the National
Association of State Retirement Administrators (NASRA), many plans have reduced their
investment return assumption since 2009. The
median assumption is 7.8%; however, the number of plans assuming 7.5% or lower has increased significantly, according to NASRA.
The annual taxpayer contribution to the pension exceeds the amount the City spends on
roads, library, parks and even the fire department.
Secretly negotiated trade agreement could be “TPP”ing
point in creating a future none of us should want
By Megan Weinand
LATINALISTA
“Today we say, enough is enough! We have
been denied the most elemental preparation so
they can use us as cannon fodder and pillage
the wealth of our country. They don’t care that
we have nothing, absolutely nothing, not even
a roof over our heads, no land, no work, no
health care, no food nor education.”
This First Declaration of the Lacandona
Jungle, published in Chiapas, Mexico by the
Zapatista (EZLN) anti-neoliberal movement in
1993 sparked the “new” Mexican Revolution
of the 20th century, and was in part a response
to the signing of NAFTA by the Mexican government.
NAFTA, or the North American Free Trade
Agreement was and still is a controversial trade
“partnership” between the United States,
Canada and Mexico and was quickly followed
by the mass exodus of newly further-impoverished Mexican farmers from the primary farming epicenters of their nation: Chiapas, Guerrero,
Oaxaca, Puebla — and into the United States.
In short, NAFTA severely eliminated Mexican tariffs on foreign crop prices (among other
goods), rendering small-scale and local Mexican farmers unable to compete even within their
own hometowns.
Prices paid to Mexican corn farmers fell 66%
overnight and after 3 years of NAFTA’s implementation the percent of rural Mexicans who
did not have enough money for food rose from
36% to 50%. With American farming products
streamlining into the Mexican nation at subsidy
and NAFTA-infused prices via the U.S. Congress, we had rendered the Mexican farmer
jobless overnight and a migrant worker “without papers” soon after.
Today however, “enough” may not be enough
for the Office of the United States Trade Representative; while a 2010 report by the
Monterrey Institute of Technology in Mexico
estimates that 50 million, or close to 46% of
Mexicans live in poverty, we may be striving to
out-do ourselves.
Our government’s newest and largest version of NAFTA is a currently proposed trade
agreement known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. TPP could potentially encompass up to 21 countries, many of which also
struggle with poverty, such as Vietnam, where
over half of the population lives on less than $2
a day, and Peru where 35% of the population
lives in poverty.
If you don’t know what TPP is, you are not
alone; the entire process to negotiate the treaty
has kept the global public in the dark, and was
only recently leaked in November on WikiLeaks
as the “Secret” TPP Agreement.
It might also be worth noting that the secrecy
of the U.S. government surrounding TPP is
greater than any other trade agreement in the
past; even President Bush’s FTAA, discussed
below, had published the entire text of the document on a U.S. governmental website.
The secrecy is alarming considering the magnitude of the deal; TPP is the largest trade agreement in existence since the formation of the
World Trade Organization in 1995, and encompasses 40% of world trade among 800 million
people.
Revelations of the WikiLeaks confidential
document among activists characterized TPP
as “NAFTA on steroids,” and was labeled by
one journalist as “a Christmas wish-list for major
corporations…Hollywood, the music industry,
big IT companies such as Microsoft and the
pharmaceutical sector would all be very happy
with this.”
Equally critical of TPP is Doctors Without
Borders (MSF), which recently sent President
Obama an open letter to express their “serious
concern” of the treaty poised to wreck havoc
on the health of millions worldwide by enforcing stricter patent protections that would eliminate the generic drugs that are used to save
the lives of millions.
Within their letter MSF writes that “80% of
the antiretroviral drugs used in developing countries are produced generically in India”. MSF
also cites that the cost of the antiretroviral drug
treatment needed for HIV/AIDS, as well as tuberculosis, malaria and many other diseases, has
been reduced by 99% due to the competition
created by generic drug companies and has lowered the per person cost yearly drug cost to under $140 USD for one HIV/AIDS patient.
Our largest international aid organizations, including PEPFAR, UNITAID, and The Global
Fund for AIDS, all rely on generic drugs to
continue the life-saving work they perform
worldwide.
The MSF slogan against TPP asks the U.S.
Trade Representative, Stan McCoy to “stop
trading away health”, however it’s proposed
legislation would move far beyond just the realm
of international trade.
Only 5 of the 29 chapters of the TPP document involve trade, whereas the rest of the 24
chapters cover other provisions that Loris
Wallach, a journalist covering TPP, summarized
by saying “there is almost no part of your life
that TPP couldn’t undermine.”
Wallach characterized the other 24 chapters
of TPP as “either handcuffing our domestic
governments, limiting food safety, environmental standards, financial regulation, energy and
climate policy, or establishing new powers for
corporations.”
Furthermore, the regulations invoke a “copyright” portion that would allow a part of SOPA,
previously struck down in Congress after public outrage, to be incorporated into TPP, thereby
prompting some activists to label TPP as “the
son of SOPA.”
While a full list of TPP ramifications can be
found online at ExposeTheTPP.org, a few of
the ways that TPP proposes to undermine global health and human rights also include:
Giving pharmaceutical companies the right
to sue national governments that enact policies
that hurt profits of drug companies, known as
exta-judicial “investor state” tribunals, where
the judges on the “investor-state” tribunals are
corporate attorneys, and give unlimited cash
damages to corporations; these damages are
paid for by the taxpayers.
Expanding pharmaceutical patent protections,
thereby eliminating the generic drug competition, (known as “parallel importations”), that
MSF and other global health organizations report is necessary to give access to life-saving
treatment
As medical students at Boston University in
varying stages in our training, we join health
organizations like MSF, labor unions such as
AFL-CIO, and countless other advocates in
asking President Obama and other global leaders to reject the deal proposed by TPP.
There is a strong precedent for advocacy that
has been able to stop behind-closed-doors
agreements that support the 1% of our world.
The FTAA, or Free Trade Area of the Americas was proposed again by President Bush in
2003 as a mega-expansion of NAFTA among
34 countries in the Americas yet failed to pass
the last negotiation stages; Latin America’s
Bolivarian Alliance, or anti-neoliberal political
climate and public backlash was able to defeat
the “partnership”.
Then-president of Venezula, Hugo Chavez,
had called the FTAA a “tool of imperialism”
during the height of negotiations and the legislation received public dissent similar to that rising against TPP. Other restrictionary legal acts
such as SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act that
poised to eliminate internet sharing freedoms
by strengthening copyright laws, was also defeated with public outcry, including a Wikipedia
24-hour blackout in 2012.
Past advocacy shows that it is possible to
stop these devastating laws that threaten the
health and livelihoods of millions, but only
through a concerted public outcry.
We ask you to step forward and help join us
in spreading the word about TPP and its potentially devastating effects. Upon signing of the
NAFTA treaty in 1993, the Zapatistas acknowledged that this was a message from the global
neoliberal community that “they don’t care that
we have nothing”.
Use any medium and action you can to show
that we are different, that we stand in solidarity with health and human rights globally, and
that we deeply care.
The Occupy movement has written that, “if
people knew the contents [of TPP], it could
not pass.”
Let us make sure everyone knows; we
couldn’t stop NAFTA over two decades ago,
but that doesn’t mean we will let an even larger
agreement pass today.
Enough is enough!

the driving enterprise of New Mexico tribes,
with casinos dotting Native American lands
from Mescalero in the south to San Juan in the
north.
In the 21st century, casinos are both cultural
signposts and economic mainstays of the Land
Enchantment. In 1996, the New Mexico State
Legislature even decided to address the crisis
in higher education affordability by creating a
state lottery scholarship for eligible university
students. The New Mexico Lottery reported
that purchasers spent $1.91 billion on lottery
ticket sales between fiscal years 1996 and 2011.
The spread of legal gambling even continued
during the Great Recession. According to the
Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise (NNEG), the
tribe opened three New Mexico casinos from
November 2008 to January 2012. Located near
Gallup, Fire Rock Navajo Casino alone boasts
live roulette, bingo, 9 table games, and 917 slot
machines. Overall, 1,500 people, mostly Navajos, are employed by the NNEG, the agency
said in a recent press release.
Additionally, New Mexico counts 55 small
casinos licensed to veterans’ and fraternal organizations like the VFW and Moose Lodge,
95 licensed bingo and raffle operators and five
racetrack/casinos, according to the New
Mexico Gaming Control Board’s 2012 annual
report.
Although legal gambling is now prevalent, illegal forms of the activity persist.
In November 2013, state and Valencia
County law enforcement cracked down on an
illegal horse track operating seven miles west
of Los Lunas south of Albuquerque, arresting
a couple on felony charges of commercial gambling. Valencia County Sheriff Louis Burkhard
said his office had been working on the case
for a “number of years.”
The events attracted “a whole lot of traffic
from around the state and even out of state,”
Burkhard told FNS. “People travel the circuits.
We’re still working on the inner-workings of
the organization.” Similar horse tracks have also
been detected around Bernalillo County, Grants
and Roswell, the country sheriff said.
Earlier, in September 2013, federal prosecutor Douglas Gardner was quoted by the El Paso
Times saying that the 2010 million-dollar Futurity Race at New Mexico’s Ruidoso Downs
was likely fixed by members of Mexico’s notorious Zetas drug cartel.
The winning horse, “Mr.Piloto,” was seized
by the U.S. government as part of a massive,
Zetas-linked money laundering investigation in
the horse racing industry and later sold off with
more than 400 other confiscated quarter-horses
for nearly $12 million, according to the US Attorney Office for the Western District of Texas.

Community College Leaders Endorse
Proposal for 4-Year Degrees
A proposal that would enable community colleges to offer baccalaureate degrees in selected
majors with high workforce demands has been
endorsed by the leaders of the nine community
colleges in San Diego and Imperial counties.
Twenty-two other states already offer baccalaureate degrees at their community colleges,
and the proposal is gaining momentum in California.
On December 2, the chief executive officers
of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Community Colleges Association (SDICCCA) voted
unanimously to endorse the concept. SDICCCA
members include all of the region’s community
colleges and community college districts.
“Our local community colleges excel at preparing students to enter the workforce in career
technical fields such as nursing and allied health,”
said Dr. Melinda Nish, president of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Community Colleges
Association and superintendent/president of
Southwestern College. “This proposal would
enable community colleges to grant four-year
degrees in similar fields. It’s time for California
to join this national movement and address our
local workforce and student needs.”
SDICCCA members are writing individual
letters of endorsement to California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice Harris, who convened the Baccalaureate Degree Study Group
this year.
The proposal would require state legislation.
State Senator Marty Block has already said he
plans to introduce new legislation early in 2014,
and State Senator Joel Anderson has indicated
he would co-author the bill.

an important frame of reference to gauge how
far the region has progressed or regressed in
meeting standards of good government, honest
law enforcement and equal access to justice.
In 1949, the political and social atmosphere
in New Mexico favored “heady” individuals imbued with an almost unlimited sense of power,
Moore said. “I think vestiges of that resound
today-in every state,” she said.
Likewise, the Coogler case exists as one historical yardstick to measure how New Mexico
deals with violence against women, and metes
out justice when the victim and victimizer(s)
do not share equal status in the halls of power.
Was Cricket killed because she knew too
much about powerful men and criminal activities? Did a violent “date” abuse and kill her?
Was she raped and murdered in a vicious attack? Was she even murdered?
Gerald Smith, whose discovery of Coogler’s
remains and subsequent exposure to grand jury
proceedings as a young man helped inspire him
to choose the legal profession for a career,
speculated that Coogler was in company of “big
shot politicos,” probably including Happy
Apodaca, when she made a drunken leap from
a moving car, a behavior she was said to have
previously engaged in to escape the clutches
of some men, and then died from the fall. Hoping to avoid embarrassment, Cricket’s erstwhile
companions dumped Cricket’s body in the
desert, Smith hypothesized.
The late Peter Sandman held that evidence
unearthed by his father indicated that Coogler
was picked up by a man after the bars closed
early on March 31, 1949, driven out-of-town,
raped and brutally killed near Mesquite.

Tijuana 2013
A New Foundation for
Border Toreo
Casa Toreros CEO Pablo Moreno—as much as anything this year, it
was a triumph of the empresa to get people back in the seats.
By Mark Schwarz
In April, Casa Toreros, the rising star of Mexican taurine management groups, scooped up the tattered remains of the moribund Plaza
Monumental de Playas, pledging to restore the vitality and vibrancy the
world’s 3rd largest plaza had enjoyed for nearly 30 years after its opening in June of 1960. Dedicated to “returning integrity to the spectacle”
and involving local tourism, marketing, and promotional professionals
for a more comprehensive diffusion of the art—the group promised 6
corridas featuring some of Mexico’s top new stars as well as the appearance of one of the greatest toreros in history, Julian Lopez, “El
Juli.” Mission accomplished.
Though the auspicious opening day cartel of “Zotoluco”, “El Juli” and
the resurgent “El Payo” was derailed by “Juli’s” inopportune cornada
in the Spring fair of Sevilla, the six corridas were delivered as promised,
including the appearance of “El Juli” in the last corrida of the year, on
November 2. Innovative marketing techniques—a savvy and fascinating promotion of the August 11 “confrontation” between Arturo Macias,
“El Cejas” and Tijuana favorite son Alejandro Amaya was particularly
ingenuous—figured greatly in beginning to re-establish “los toros” in
Tijuana as a place to be, once again; an important cultural event presented with as much integrity and seriousness of purpose as can be
expected anywhere in Mexico.
In the six corridas a total of 15 matadors appeared, with three, Alfredo
Rios, “El Conde”, Octavio Garcia, “El Payo”, and Alejandro Amaya,
making two appearances each, and one, Aguasclaientes’ happy warrior, Arturo Macias, “El Cejas” appearing three times. Along with the
anxiously awaited appearance of “Juli”, the temporada featured the
Tijuana despedida of the genial iconoclast “El Pana”, the nostalgic—
and brief—reappearance of one time pretender “Mayito”-and the prescient pre-Madrid warm-up of Joselito Adame—now considered
Mexico’s odds on favorite to achieve international stardom. Some quibbles
could be entertained about the inclusion of “El Conde” or “El Chihuahua”, Ignacio Garibay, “Mayito” or the Spaniard Sergio Aguilar, instead
of Arturo Saldivar or Sergio Flores—who, along with Adame, Diego
Silveti, Juan Pablo Sanchez, and Adame, form the upper echelon of the
most promising new wave of Mexican toreros since the Martinez/
Cavazos generation of the 60s, or, toreros such as Mario Aguilar, Fabian
Barba, Antonio Romero or Juan Luis Silis, all lesser known, but most
certainly with more upside and future. Inevitable differences of opinion
aside, each corrida featured some solid toreo and/or legitimate crowd
appeal, principal ingredients in resurrecting a taurine scene that had
been seeing its life flash before its collective eyes for several lamentable “seasons”.
The bovine side of the ledger, however, was representative of the
single greatest threat to Mexico’s renewed interest in things taurine: the
appalling lack of casta and general lack of presence of all but a few
individuals of the animals officially classified as “brave” bulls.
Casa Toreros is not liable for the paucity of materia prima—it is a
disaster long in the making, the legacy of that self-same 60s generation.
But, only one encierro—set of 6 bulls—from the Bailleres ranch of
San Miguel de Mimiahuapam in the 2nd corrida of the season—was
uniformly well presented; that is of sufficient size, apparent age and
morphological seriousness that are the hallmarks of the breed. Aficionados of long standing rarely agree on criteria for anything, but most
would agree that without a bull that simultaneously inspires fear, respect and empathy, the unique artistic, emotional and cultural foundations of the art fall apart.
“How many people would pay to see us swing our capes at the air”
the great Spanish master, Santiago Martin “El Viti” has said—without
the bull, we are nothing.” Taurine Mexico is just now beginning to come
to terms with the damage being inflicted on the spectacle by what critic
Horacio Reiba has masterfully described as the “Mexican Post-Toro”.
If the Fiesta in Mexico—indeed, in the world—is to survive, el toro
bravo, which is to say, a mature, magnificent and mortally dangerous
animal, must be at its heart. The general malaise notwithstanding, there
were a couple of inspiring exceptions to the almost anesthetized obedience of the majority of the animals run this season, those being “Ilusion”
of Mimiahuapam, faced by Adame on May 26, and “Cielo Rojo” of
Monte Caldera—which set of bulls engaged in notably violent clashes
with the picadors—mostly wasted by “El Chihuahua” on July 14. Although “Zotoluco” pardoned the life of “Borreguero” of La Estancia
on opening day, and Juli and Macias cut 4 ears from their bulls of the
Xajay/Marron ranches in the final corrida, those animals were examples
of that uniquely post 80’s Mexican toro which—in the words of former
Aguascalientes empresario Alfonso Perez-Romo, “Looks like a toro
bravo on the outside, but inside is a sheep”—charging almost as if by
obligation rather than by raza—that almost greedy desire to attack that
characterizes a truly brave animal. That solution, however, is breeding
generations in the future and will depend, largely, on the willingness of
the current crop of young toreros to risk their lives and limbs facing
toros in age, size and behavior.
Mil Gracias, however, must be given to Casa Toreros, whose dedication to the fiesta is, apparently, to be taken at face value. Though they
could not have helped but lose money in their maiden year, they have
certainly laid the foundations that could support a re-emergence of border toreo that few would have predicted a few years ago.
