Let’s Talk About It 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.

Prices Are Rising Fast

By Yvette Tello

I just left Walmart, and I couldn’t believe what I saw.

The chewing gum I usually buy for three dollars is now almost five. The cashier told me the price went up a whole dollar just yesterday. He also recommended that I shop for groceries online, saying prices are often lower there than in the store.Then he added something that stuck with me:“Start stocking up on what you can because prices are rising daily. ”This is coming from someone who sees the price changes every single day. And it’s not just Walmart—an H-E-B employee told me something similar not long ago. This is getting real, people. The cost of everyday items is climbing fast, and workers on the front lines are noticing it too. Have you seen sudden price jumps in your regular shopping? Are you changing the way you buy groceries to keep up? Let’s talk about it…

Amanda Cena: “I used to buy a sirloin tip knuckle that sold for $4.98 a lb. That same knuckle is $15.99 a lb at Sam's club.”

Sales Info: Our Circulation 45,000 Printed And Distributed Weekly English And Spanish Send Press Releases And Advertising Inquiries To: Info@LaPrensaTexas.com 2 1 0 - 6 2 8 - 9 6 1 1

Stefani Shamloo: “Mom has been telling me for a while coffee is going up. The instant decaf went up 3 dollars. We've been stocking up each time we go to the store. I saw a lot of things yesterday from last weekend.”

Elsa Sixtos: “ It will stay real as long as that Moron is in office” John Winfield: “Thank you Yvette for the information.”

Lisa Guerra: “When you shop curbside at HEB every item has a price increase. Like if you purchase an item in store for $3.00 when you order it in the curbside app for curbside you'll be paying $4.00. I just go to the store and get it myself” Henrietta Hernandez: “Oh yeah, cat food 3 entrees a bag of nuts, kitty liter, sausage. Coffee creamer, bag of coffee. 150 dollars.”

Rooster Lopez: “Since big box prices have gone up I have exclusively given my business to

the local businessman. Big boxes came to make things more convenient. for better customer service, and they could do this at a reduced cost.

They can no longer do this. We need to sever our relationships with them. They need us to survive, not the other way around.”

Beto Medrano: “My product that I sell is going to be taxed 30% starting October 14. It's going to be sad and grim during the holidays. sad and grim during the holidays.”

Angelic Dee Dee: “I shop on their apps both Walmart n HEB and pick up. You can see all the deals. I avoid all the craziness “ Robert Saenz: “The local butcher at the meat market yesterday told me that they can’t give me the price of the meat I was ordering for next week because prices keep going up weekly if not daily. “ Martha Canales Hernandez: “They lied to everyone and those who voted for this administration voted for the rich to get richer and the middle class will suffer the consequences. Many regret voting for these leaders but many are still being blinded to the truth. Dollar store was .99 before this president took office the first time and now items are $1.75. Go figure the benefits of his tariffs. Just more for them to steal and we are paying for it. It’s only going to get worse by the day. God bless us all.” .

Robert Vasquez: “Inflation is going to happen regardless. Gum 1cent 5 cents, ect When wages are increased the consumer will pay the price.

Average new hire employee wage at Walmart is 15.00 depending on the job description it can be as high as 30.00 an hour. Welcome to Texas and Walmart is hiring”

Christopher Mora: “Many of these price increases in grocery stores can be directly attributed to Trump's moronic tariff wars. I hope the people who voted for this get that job they always wanted working in the blazing sun picking crops for peasant wages; otherwise no one is getting anything out of this other than being ripped off by the big government”

Yvette Elizabeth: “Online is the new shopping you can get some great deals - stock up isn’t the answer.”

Eddie Machicek: “And meanwhile his worthless fat ass is golfing..”. \ Nick Vasquez: “Tell me about it. My cameras for clients have increased by 50 percent. The Chinese ones are still cheaper than the American made ones. None of this makes sense” Kathy Vale: “But PROJECT MARVEL! Let’s continue to ignore all the red flag warnings right now re national recession, Trump Tariffs with persistent inflationary high cost for groceries and consumables, CPS & SAWS rate increases coming in 2026, high mortgage rates, lack of affordable housing, public schools closing, low minimum wage jobs without benefits and 18% generational poverty, hotel reservations DOWN, airport traffic DOWN, Riverwalk and Market Square traffic DOWN. No worries, right San Antonio? Let’s keep going to lots of parties and not worry about the wildfires burning around us…”

Frank Burton: “Walmart has always taken advantage of people for profits. They've run mom and pop shops out of business dropping prices and now that there's not much competition for them they're raising prices while profiting 4 billion. They could most definitely keep prices low, pay a living wage to keep their employees off welfare and still make 1 billion in profit which is still incredibly good.

They're always my last resort.”

Tess DeFlori: “The items at Walmart tripled in price! I shop at the dollar store for everything but vegetables, meat and fruit!”

James Gonzalez: “THANK GOODNESS FOR DOLLAR STORES” Rick Carter: “Start a chicken ranch for eggs..”

Severiano Flores: “What happened to the promise of lower prices for groceries?”

JC El Leon: “I see a lot of people complaining about prices????But let's see how many of them tell the truth ... .How many voted for TRUMP? So live with it….”

About the Cover Artist: Gricelda Corpus Nill

By Dr. Ricardo Romo

Gricelda Corpus Nill is a Mexican American sculptor whose new porcelain exhibition, El Vuelo de la Monarca, at Centro Cultural Aztlan in San Antonio, evokes themes of Latino history, identity, and community spirit. Her art is grounded in her Mexican and Texas heritage, blending cultural memory with personal expression

through robust, earthy artwork that invite emotional engagement.

Born in Mexicali, across the border from Calexico, California, Gricelda’s creative path began unexpectedly after her marriage to Mark Nill, whose Air Force service took the couple to England.

There, a visit to a local ceramic factory sparked her lifelong dedication to clay.

She studied ceramic art at Huntingdonshire College near Cambridge, England, and continued her training at the University of New Mexico in Portales and for many years at the Southwest School of Art, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Northwest Vista College.

Gricelda’s artistic process reflects both discipline and intuition.

She works with earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, employing handbuilding methods such as pinching, coiling, and slab construction. After the bisque and glaze firings, her finished pieces display vibrant color, meticulous detail, and tactile energy.

Gricelda’s recurring naturalistic and indigenous-inspired motifs—flowers, butterflies, and symbolic forms—bridge personal narrative and cultural identity. Critics have praised her technical mastery and immersive

compositions that create “bigger-than-life renditions of human-like creatures surrounded by meticulously formed details.”

Gricelda’s began exhibiting twenty years ago in Clovis, New Mexico, and since moving to San Antonio in 2006, she has received awards from the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, the Corpus

Christi Arts Festival, and the San Antonio Art League. Her first solo exhibition in 2007, organized by Malena González-Cid of Centro Cultural Aztlan, established her as a key figure in San Antonio’s Latino art scene, where she continues to inspire through works celebrating heritage, strength, and transformation.

Where’s Cleto? Pepe’s Tacos & Salsa – 12820 Jones Maltzberger Hello everyone, welcome back to my Food Column!

Today’s stop is one of my all-time favorites: Pepe’s Tacos & Salsa. If you’re craving really, really good Mexican food, look no further. I’ve been coming here for years, and not just because of the incredible food — the staff treats you like family.This familyowned gem has been serving the community for 13 years, and they take real pride in making sure every visit is a great experience.

I started with the cheese enchiladas and wow — they were out of this world!

They came out nice and hot

(not burn the roof of your mouth hot), with perfectly melted cheese and rich flavor. Even though they have an awesome salsa bar, the food is so flavorful you barely need anything extra.

Honestly, these might be some of the best enchiladas I’ve ever had… just don’t tell my wife! For something on the lighter side, I tried their green spinach chicken enchiladas — something I’d never heard of before.

The creamy green spinach sauce with hot melted white cheese on top blew me away. It’s a must-try.

I’m picky when it comes to menudo. My mother-in-law

has always made the best… until Pepe handed me a bowl. One taste and I had to tell Mom to scoot over — there’s a new sheriff in town! This menudo was so flavorful I didn’t even need to add onions, cilantro, or lemon. Absolute perfection.

You can’t talk about Pepe’s without mentioning their tacos — barbacoa, carne guisada, or the classic bean and cheese. All are delicious, but for some reason, their bean and cheese stands out.

It’s simple, comforting, and just tastes better here. Pepe also loves experimenting, which led to his Philly Cheesesteak Taco —

chunks of top sirloin, bell peppers, onions, and melted white cheese. Checkmate!

But my personal favorite is the “Cleto Taco.” It’s steak ranchera wrapped in a flour tortilla, topped with that signature ranchera sauce and melted cheese. One bite and you’ll start speaking another language — it’s that good.

They also host Birria Night every Friday from 4 PM–9 PM (BYOB), so bring your friends and make it a night out. Hours:Mon– Sun: 6:30 AM – 2:00 PM Friday: 6:30 AM – 2:00 PM & 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM Phone: 210-236-8288

Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast tacos or coming for dinner with friends, Pepe’s Tacos & Salsa is the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more. Tell them Cleto sent you!

The Cuckoo Sign - An Integral Component of Our Hispanic Culture

By J. gilberto Quezada The other day while we were having lunch in our house in San Antonio and from the window, which is facing north, you can see people walking on the sidewalk in front of the house, and this man walked by screaming out loud and arguing to himself.

Jo Emma and I looked at each other and she made a circling motion with her right index finger at her ear signifying that the person has a screw loose or is crazy. Her use of the Cuckoo sign brought back a flood of memories that go back to my beloved Barrio El Azteca during the 1940s and 1950s, and also much later in life. People

would say, "Esta cuco" while making the index finger gesture.

I never realized how important and historical the Cuckoo sign is embedded in our Hispanic culture.

The Cuckoo sign— made by circling the index finger near the temple—is a universally recognized gesture for madness, but within Hispanic communities, it carries layers of cultural memory and social meaning. It is not just a signal; it is a shorthand for shared understanding, often used with humor, affection, or even subtle judgment. In neighborhoods like the Barrio El Azteca, this gesture became part of the everyday language,

a nonverbal cue that transcended generations and social settings.

Growing up in Hispanic barrios, children learned the Cuckoo sign not from textbooks but from watching their elders. It was used in playful teasing among friends, in whispered gossip about eccentric neighbors, and in moments of comic relief during family gatherings.

The gesture was passed down like folklore—unwritten, but deeply ingrained. It became a way to express concern, disbelief, or amusement, all without saying a word.

What makes the Cuckoo sign so powerful is its emotional resonance. For many, it evokes memories

of abuelitas chuckling on the porch, tíos telling exaggerated stories, and the vibrant street life of tight-knit communities.

It is a symbol of cultural continuity, linking the past to the present. Even today, when someone uses the gesture, it is not just about calling someone “crazy”— it is about invoking a shared cultural script that is instantly understood.

In the broader Hispanic culture, gestures like the Cuckoo sign reflect a rich tradition of expressive communication.

Body language, facial expressions, and hand signs often carry as much weight as spoken words.

These gestures are part of a communal

rhythm, a way of navigating social life with nuance and flair. The Cuckoo sign, in particular, stands out because it blends humor with commentary, and familiarity with folklore.

Thus, the Cuckoo sign is more than a quirky hand motion—it is a cultural artifact. It tells a story of community, memory, and identity.

From the sidewalks of San Antonio to the heart of the Barrio El Azteca, it continues to echo through generations, reminding us that even the simplest gestures can carry the deepest meanings. And in that circling motion of the index finger, we find not just a sign of madness, but a symbol of connection.

Memorabilia of Zapata County Judge Bravo

By J. gilberto Quezada Twenty-six years ago, April 1999, Texas A&M University Press published Border Boss: Manuel B. Bravo and Zapata County and it received the prestigious Texas Institute of Letters Award, the Webb County Heritage Foundation Award, and the American Association for State and Local History Award.

The paperback edition was published in 2001.

Border Boss has stood the test of time and will always remain my magnum opus. It was dogmatic discipline during the research and writing phases of the project which made true originality possible. The intellectual, emotional, and sometimes physical journey, in having to drive to the different archival depositories in Texas to augment my research on the Judge Bravo papers, has been gratifying and rewarding.

boss named Manuel B. Bravo, or about South Texas politics. The tome is much more than a political biography. It is an intriguing story that has national appeal because of the human drama involved in the issues of the times. Interwoven within the fabric of South Texas politics are high profile political figures, such as Lyndon B. Johnson, George Bush, Lloyd Bentsen Jr., and many others. Everyone likes a good book that contains human drama, personalities, and the juicy political stuff that makes for an interesting read.

In somber retrospect, I am extremely proud to have written Border Boss and to have juxtaposed it against the backdrop of Texas and national politics.

Now, I would like to share with you some memorabilia of on Judge Bravo that we have decorating our walls in our cottage in Zapata.

What makes Border This photo has many Boss so appealing is odds and ends that typify that it is more than just his political career over about a Tejano political the span of twenty years.

During the El Chamizal celebration on Saturday, October 28, 1967, large crowds lined the streets in El Paso increasing concentration along the route to the Chamizal Memorial Park.

The crowds waved Mexican and U.S. flags and carried large posters, like the one in the second attachment, bearing the portraits of the two presidents.

I found these two photographs very interesting. By this time, Judge Bravo was working for the International Boundary and Water Commission, and in the second photograph, he is wearing a white hardhat and is standing behind Lady Bird Johnson.

President Johnson is shaking hands with Mexican President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz at a marker dedication during El Chamizal ceremony on Saturday, October 28, 1967. The Chamizal Ceremony marked a significant diplomatic event between the United States and Mexico. This ceremony was held to commemorate the resolution of a long-

A Latino Exhibit of Porcelain and Paint at Centro Cultural Aztlan After seeing the exciting art pieces at the ceramic factory, Gricelda began her studies of clay art at Huntingdonshire College near Cambridge, England.

Her intensive determination to learn more about this art form has included a year at the University of New Mexico in Portales and a total of eight additional years at the Southwest School of Arts and Crafts, UTSA, and Northwest Vista College in San Antonio to perfect her skills in creating clay and porcelain objects.

By Dr. Ricardo Romo Gricelda Corpus Nill’s new porcelain sculpture exhibition, "El Vuelo de la Monarca" at Centro Cultural Aztlan in San Antonio, explores themes related to Latino history, identity, and spirit tied to the San Antonio community. Her work is deeply rooted in her Mexican and Texas cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from the rich traditions and histories of both communities.

The forms are robust, earthy, and commanding, inviting the viewer to engage emotionally.

Gricelda was born in Mexicali, across the U.S. border from Calexico, California. She met her husband, Mark Nill, while visiting Calexico. After their marriage, she moved to La Jolla, California to join Mark, who studied health sciences at UC San Diego. After completing his dental studies, Mark joined the Air Force and was stationed in England.

In England, Gricelda visited a ceramic factory near her home with a friend. That visit and her introduction to clay creations transformed her life.

Ceramic art is a complex and intricate process. She learned early on that sculpting begins with choosing good clay, a decision based on what the artist desires to create in terms of texture, color, and firing requirements.

Gricelda has worked with earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, with each suited for different designs and structures. She begins with a rough drawing of the proposed art piece. With her idea in mind, she then creates her sculpture by shaping clay through hand-building methods such as pinching, coiling, and slab construction.

Gricelda generally forms her figures or objects by hand, often refining details as the clay dries to a leather-hard stage. Once fully dry, the work undergoes its first “bisque” firing in a kiln, transforming it into a strong yet porous ceramic. Glazes are then applied for color and finish, followed by a second, highertemperature glaze firing that fuses the surface and vitrifies the clay. Her work is recognized for her attention to surface detail, use of vibrant color, and dynamic, tactile qualities. She frequently employs naturalistic

of meticulously formed, glazed and fired details such as flowers, butterflies, shells, branches, environments, and many other details to complete her visual narrative.”

Gricelda has been part of group exhibitions that recognize women artists, and her work contributes to conversations around gender, cultural identity, and social issues within the Latino artistic community. At the Centro Cultural Aztlan, her sculptures are considered an inspiration, and she is recognized as a meticulous and imposing artist.

Gricelda is active in the local art scene and participates in exhibits that celebrate cultural heritage and artistic expression within the Latino community.

The second artist featured at the Centro Cultural Aztlan Gallery, Raul Servin, draws upon his memory of Mexico in multiple landscapes. He is also influenced by physical existence, or what he considers reality. He has an infatuation for nopales [cacti]. Several of his landscape paintings place nopales front and center with high mountain ranges in the background, common to the interior of Mexico that he remembers from his youth.

As a teen, Servin enrolled in art classes offered through the Mexican government’s sponsored Instituto Nacional Bellas Artes, a program to encourage the development of young artists throughout the country. Servin excelled in the fine arts program, and at age sixteen, he began exhibiting his artwork. The following year, he became a founding member of a local art organization known as El Jardin de Arte de Acapulco. Servin took art seriously. He enrolled in PreColombian art classes and served as an art instructor at a local junior high school.

Servin’s first major career break came in the late 1960s when he landed a job in Acapulco painting the performance stage for the
