Let’s Talk About It "Try That In A Small Town"

This grass roots publication is the life source for a community that is not easily afforded viable access to diverse and accessible media. San Antonio and the surrounding counties have become accustomed to relevant news brought to them in both English and Spanish since 1913.

By Yvette Tello In recent weeks, the music industry has found itself caught up in a whirlwind of controversy surrounding a video released by country singer Jason Aldean. The video has sparked intense debate, with some Yvette Tello viewers accusing it of being racist, while Interim Publisher y.tello@laprensatexas.com others argue that it's merely another case of the race card being needlessly played.

Ramon Chapa Jr. What are your views on this? Do you think Community Liaison r.chapa@laprensatexas.com the video was intentionally racist, or do you see it as a misunderstanding blown out of Roxanne Eguia proportion? Let’s talk about it…

Gary Zeinert: “I haven’t seen the video.

I have heard the song. I definitely don’t think the lyrics of the song are racist. I really think this is somewhat of a double standard. I grew up in the 80’s listening to NWA, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, The Ghetto Boys, and Public Enemy. The lyrics and videos for some of those songs are 1000 times more racist than any song or video put out

by Jason Aldean.”

Jessica Lynn Bergen: “I really don’t see how it’s offensive. It’s the reality we live in. Small towns tend to stand together more than the big cities. I’ve seen our small town come together a few times when there have been children missing, and suspected violence. The big cities? Not a Chance. And after what he was lucky enough to survive.

He has a right to use his voice.”

is being dramatic, but the other side is going to dig in their heels and make an even bigger deal of the song simply because others are offended by it. Aldean however is riding his publicity train all the way to the bank and probably could care less about either side's opinion. You know what they say, ‘there's no such thing as bad publicity’. Donald Trump virtually ran his entire campaign on that ideology.”

John Saito: “There is nothing surprising about the fact that small, isolated communities can be very proud and protective of their particular way of life, though sometimes pathologically so. Browse the videos by Youtubers like Peter Santenello and you'll see this is not unique to any one region, ethnicity, race, religion, etc. Even in big cities, you have neighborhoods with small, tight-knit communities that are very distrustful of outsiders trying to impose their norms with no understanding or regard for what local residents value or need.

In short, this is a very human phenomenon.

We just don't scale well, still.”

Haley McLucas:“ ‘Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences.’-Jason Aldean.”

Kelsey Bernard:“It's very simple, if you don't like it don't listen. I think it's an amazing song. Good job Jason!!!”

Steve Woolworth : “Racism has always been in country music. It's just now being called out.”

Tina Chapman: “Anyone reminded of 91 when Garth brooks released Thunder Rolls and everyone freaked out?!?”

Jason Christenson:” All music that pushes boundaries will offend even when we are the world's offended people.”

Gilbert Dimas: “Nope not at all racist.

Blown way out of proportion. Blm, Antifa, and KKK are cancers.”

Mandie Tyler: “Smart moves as usual you start your own controversy and then your song goes to number one. Then you get all your fans, hyped buying all your stuff and listening to your music. Oldest marketing trick in the book. Still smart though.”

Jessie Smith: “This will all just turn into another way to polarize people even more.

Some can easily say the "offended" group

Tiffany Burks: “ I personally like a lot of music and I do like this song. I also find it interesting how people complain about this song and the video yet we have drugs, gangs, coochie popping, violence in other song lyrics and videos and no one complains about that. I know everyone has different opinions but I definitely feel that all the videos on this song in particular are REAL. He didn't make a music video with false photos. If you don't want things that have been done to be out for the world to see or hold against you then don't do it. And no it has nothing to do with race EVERYTHING to do with character.”

Brenda Maddox: “I live in a fairly small town in Texas and that song fits our community well. Love it.”

Kimberly Walton: “Let Freedom ring in song ! Go Jason Aldean!”

Adam Martinez: “Jason Aldean doesn't have the courage to admit the Jim Crow eras, court house video and the blurred out newspapers talking about NAACP wasn't insinuating something. Just like many people defending it don't have the courage to say they don't like brown or blacks as much as whites. Maybe he didn't do it on purpose but he has some pretty bad neo nazis going crazy for it. If they are smart enough to read between the lines then I'm sure these people see it too. Just too scared to admit it. In Uvalde, so many people use the N word and think it's funny. Very disgraceful.”

Jessie Rizo “It’s all relative… take Uvalde.

That wouldn’t apply to this town…showed weakness and vulnerability. Take January 6th - insurrection day… same.

However, take Nashville TN. The officers didn’t hesitate and eliminated the shooter.

Again, it’s just a song and doesn’t apply across the board.”

About the Cover Artist: Chef Restaurateur Damien Watel

Courtesy of AnArte Art Gallery Damien Watel's French upbringing sent him straight to the Ecole de Cuisine Promhote cooking school in Paris.

His Father Jean Pierre , Himself a noted modernist Architect in France and with the love of cuisine and restaurants , was happy to encourage this career move.. An uncle with two restaurants in Dallas gave Watel his American

start, and he soon jumpstarted his career with a restaurant of his own, ‘Watels’. The wandering Watel then came to San Antonio and opened the legendary, Bistro Vatel, dedicated to the simple but sophisticated French food that Watel seems born to cook. Since opening Bistro Vatel in 1999, Chef Watel has quickly become a leader in San Antonio's premiere restaurant circle, adding his Italian cre-

ation, Ciao Lavanderia shortly after the Bistro.

Chef Watel continued his success with his third concept, a Belgian themed restaurant located in the King William district 'La Frite Belgian Bistro' and a new wine bar, 'Ciao Vino'.

These days Damien runs a new location” BISTR09”

on Broadway and doubles as France’s Honorary Consul for San Antonio.

Damien has 3 children, Stephanie Harry and Enzo and is married to Lisa, a chef as well.

He will present his first solo exhibition called “Multitasking” on August 9 from 6-8pm with cham-

pagne & vino and Art talk at 7:15.

This collection illustrates the influences over the years , dog series , people, and architecture.

Somewhat similar to the culinary side, creativity comes in spurts and pours out on canvas until satisfied!

Santikos Casa Blanca Es El Hogar Exclusivo Del Traje De Blue Beetle Hasta El 31 De Julio

Curiosidades sobre el traje de Blue Beetle Hechos sobre el traje en la vida real: Diseñado por la diseñadora de trajes mexicana, Mayes C. Rubeo.

Por Alexa Romero Blue Beetle es una próxima película de superhéroes basada en el personaje de DC Comics, Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle, producida por DC Studios y Safran Company y dirigida por Angel Manuel Soto. El auténtico traje de escarabajo azul llevado por Xolo Maridueña durante el rodaje se exhibe de manera exclusiva en Santikos Casa Blanca hasta el 31 de julio. Invitamos a todos a visitar este traje único, tomar una foto con él y crear un recuerdo que durará toda la vida.

Sinopsis de la película: Jaime Reyes se gradúa de la universidad, regresa a su ciudad natal y de repente se encuentra en posesión de una antigua reliquia de biotecnología alienígena llamada el Escarabajo. Cuando el Escarabajo elige a Jaime para ser su anfitrión simbiótico, le otorga un increíble traje de armadura capaz de poderes extraordinarios e impredecibles, cambiando para siempre su destino al convertirse en el superhéroe Blue Beetle.

El traje estuvo en desarrollo durante nueve meses. • Se crearon más de 500 diseños antes de llegar al diseño final.

El traje fue creado en colaboración con Ironhead Studios en Los Ángeles, CA. Cada pieza del traje de Blue Beetle es personalizada, incluyendo el concepto, los diseños

digitales, la impresión en 3D, las telas y las piezas de armadura física; todo fue creado para un ajuste exacto que permitiera a la estrella Xolo Maridueña dar vida al personaje Blue Beetle.

La tela fue diseñada para evocar un patrón derivado de alienígenas, con cada elemento meticulosamente creado para ref lejar la naturaleza fuera de este mundo de la biotecnología alienígena del Escarabajo.

Hechos sobre el traje dentro de la historia: El traje está hecho de biotecnología alienígena y es tanto una armadura como, en cierta medida, piel.

El traje se deriva del Escarabajo, un ser sensible llamado Khaji-da que se fusiona simbióticamente con su anfitrión, en este caso, Jaime Reyes.

El traje está diseñado para proteger a su anfitrión, aunque también puede comportarse de manera impredecible.

El traje puede crear cualquier forma de arma que el anfitrión pueda imaginar.

Carolina Flores: Latina Artist Represents Family, Culture, and Community

By Dr. Ricardo Romo Latino art might be coming to your neighborhood soon. Cultural centers, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations in large Latino communities are increasingly placing art in their prominent open spaces. Their exhibitions complement rather than compete with galleries and museums. San Antonio Latina artist Carolina Flores found a welcoming venue at the Overland Partners Architectural firm on Jones Avenue, a block from the San Antonio Museum of Art. Tim Blonkvist, founding Principal of Overland Partners and an internationally recognized architect, invited Flores to exhibit at the firm’s headquarters. Blonkvist notes that his design work synthesizes art, architecture, and the use of natural light. His library is filled with art books, and he peppers his conversations with references to modern and contemporary art.

The firm has clients from around the world, and many who visit his cavernous office space, a renovated warehouse, admire and comment on the artwork of visiting artists like Flores. And importantly, the Overland Partner architects often recommend art they are familiar with for the buildings they design. Jenna Accord of Overland Partners curated the Flores exhibit.

Fort Stockton, Flores’s hometown, is known for its historical past when the U.S. Army fought the last of the Indian Wars. The U.S. Army established Fort Stockton in the late 1850s to open up West Texas to freight companies shipping goods from San Antonio to the Big Bend region and Chihuahua, Mexico. In previous centuries the Comanches and Apaches had made the surrounding area part of their territory, drawn to the region by a large source of water later named Comanche Springs.

The Indian Wars came to an end in the 1880s with the capture of the great Indian Chief Geronimo, and soon after, Fort Stockton became a center for sheep and cattle raising.

The Texas Writers’ Project noted that Fort Stockton with a popula-

Carolina Flores, “Primos.” Photo by Ricardo Romo tion of 2,695 in the late 1930s was “half Mexican.”

During the 1940s when Flores’s parents Ramon and Josefina were young adults, the Texas Writers described Fort Stockton in this manner: “Adobe houses fringe the town, which spreads out from its limestone and red stucco courthouse. Fort Stockton is a retail center and livestock shipping point.”

Carolina Flores recalls that in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Fort Stockton’s main street businesses were reserved for White merchants. Mexican Americans could shop on Main Street, but they were only allowed to operate their business in the streets adjacent to the main retail business center. In the 1950s when Flores was in grade school, Fort Stockton’s population

stood at 4,444.

When Carolina Flores started school she knew nothing about art. Her dad, who worked three jobs to give his children a good life, bought her coloring books.

But to her knowledge, no one in her community painted or took any interest in art. In the first grade, she demonstrated an ability to draw, a skill that surprised her and her

classmates. Not having any art role models to emulate, Flores’s artistic talents lay dormant for the next few years. Fortunately, in the seventh grade, Flores enrolled in Ms. Mary Brown’s art class and her hidden talent resurfaced.

Mary Brown took a special interest in Flores and provided her with individual painting classes at her home. For the next two years, until Ms. Brown remarried and moved to Los Angeles, that teacher greatly encouraged her to learn about drawing and painting with oils.

Flores’s high school did not offer art classes, so she devoted herself to music classes at school and created art projects on her own time. She excelled in playing the flute and won a scholarship to Sul Ross University in Alpine, Texas. In 1968 she transferred to the University of Texas at Austin which had a highly recognized art department. There she met fellow art students Santa Barraz, Sam Coronado, Richard Arredondo, and Manuel “Chaca” Ramirez. The UT Austin art program had over 700 students, but only a handful were of Mexican descent.

Upon completion of her studies at UT Austin, Flores moved to San Antonio in 1974 to enroll in UTSA’s newly created art department.

Her first classes were offered in the basement of the Institute of Texan Cultures and at the Southwest School of Art. Flores has fond memories of her classes with Charles Field at UTSA. When fellow students questioned her decision to paint about her culture and history, Professor Field came to her defense. She credits Professor Field’s exceptional mentorship with guiding her through her UTSA program. With a Master in Fine Arts degree [MFA], Flores found work as an illustrator with Dr. Jose Carderas’ IDRA program in the Edgewood School District.

Flores had a breakthrough year in 1989 when the San Antonio Museum of Art [SAMA] presented her work in an exhibit “Influence, Segment II.” She was selected

years of the Chicano Movement in Austin. All of the paintings by Flores in the exhibit were from her UT Austin years.

For the Overland Partners exhibit, “Vale Color,” Flores explained that her colors “are vibrant, pure, and fresh.” In her paintings, viewers are made aware of her West Texas roots which she describes as “images of family portraits, highway landscapes, and neighborhood scenes.” Her powerful rendering of a deepgreen maguey plant that her father planted in their backyard is surrounded by homes in her neighborhood. The painting conveys nature in harmony with human development. The bright reds and singular portions of purple provide an ideal contrast to the long stems of Mexico’s most popular plant.

In the painting “Primos,” Flores presents her father Ramon Flores standing with several of his nieces and nephews. The family group, posed next to a wooden windmill, crowded together showing their closeness. The oldest boy wears overalls indicating the way farmwork is a large part of rural life. A deep blue sky and barren trees common to the winter months nearly fill the background.

Carolina Flores, “Rafael and the Bear.” [Flores’s grandfather Rafael Flores notes in her artist statement Flores roping a bear]. Photo by Ricardo Romo that “In these portraits and landscapes are the stories I want to tell with an emotion of color and line.”

In many of her paintings, Flores celebrates life’s important events: weddings, quinceañeras, and special family gatherings. A large portrait of her 1939 parents’ wedding created from a black and white photo fills an entire wall at Overland Partners. In another painting, young girls involved in a quinceañera celebrate the special coming-of-age occasion. Adding a touch of humor, Flores includes a young girl in a white dress at a quinceañera outdoor dance appearing to look around while a young Carolina Flores in her studio.

Introducing the 2023 Buick Envision Where Elegance Meets Performance!

By Albert Flores Buick has always been considered as a luxury brand that delivers style, power, and performance. Well, they have truly outdone themselves with this latest addition to their exceptional lineup. The Envision seamlessly blends striking exterior design, a beautifully crafted interior, cutting-edge electronics, remarkable passenger capacity, impressive fuel efficiency, and a suite of advanced safety features, making it a standout in its class.

Let's start by talking about the exterior finish of the 2023 Envision. Buick has spared no expense in creating a sleek and sophisticated appearance. The flowing lines and bold curves of this crossover are a testament to Buick's commitment to delivering elegance. With its signature waterfall grille, distinctive LED headlights, and available 20inch alloy wheels, the Envision exudes an air of refinement and class that's hard to match.

Once you step inside the Envision, you'll be greeted by a beautifully crafted inte-

rior finish that is truly, luxury.

Premium materials are used throughout the cabin, providing a touch and visual delight.

The plush leather seats, leatherwrapped steering wheel, and genuine wood accents elevate the Envisions interior to a level of class that is typically found in higher-priced luxury vehicles. The spacious cabin ensures a comfortable ride for all passengers, and with the available panoramic moonroof, you can enjoy an expansive view of the sky above, adding a touch of openness and freedom to the entire experience.

Now, let's delve into the electronics featured in the 2023 Envision. Buick has integrated cutting-edge technology to make every drive a connected and convenient one. The centerpiece is the intuitive and userfriendly 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen display, which supports smartphone integration, providing easy access to your favorite apps and navigation tools. With the available wireless charging pad, you can keep your devices powered up

without the hassle of cords cluttering the cabin. The Envision also comes with a high-quality sound system that offers an impressive audio experience, ensuring your favorite tunes sound just as they should.

When it comes to passenger capacity, the Envision can comfortably accommodate up to five individuals, making it ideal for family outings or road trips with friends. The ample legroom and headspace in both the front and rear ensure that even tall passengers can stretch out and enjoy the journey.

With the price of gas lately, let's talk about fuel efficiency.

The 2023 Buick Envision has an impressive set of mileage figures, making it a practical choice for those conscious of their carbon footprint and fuel expenses. With an average of 25-30 miles per gallon (mpg) on the highway and around 2226 mpg in the city, the Envision strikes an excellent balance between power and efficiency.

Safety is very important in Envision, and Buick has pulled out all the stops to ensure a secure ride for all occupants.

With a suite of advanced safety features like forward collision alert, lane-keeping assist, blindspot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking, the Envision actively helps prevent accidents and provides added peace of mind on the road.

Additionally, the Envision is equipped with a comprehensive airbag system and a sturdy frame, earning it top marks in crash safety tests. Now, let's answer the question, how far can the 2023 Buick Envision travel before fueling up? With its fuel-efficient engine and generous fuel tank, the Envi-

sion can travel approximately 450-500 miles before requiring a refueling, depending on driving conditions and driving habits. This makes it a great choice for both daily commutes and long journeys. The 2023 Buick Envision was released

by Buick in the fall of 2022, making it one of the latest additions to their impressive lineup of vehicles. In conclusion, the 2023 Buick Envision is an outstanding vehicle that brings together elegance, comfort, and performance in one remarkable package.
