Should the Spurs Help Fund Public Safety?

By Yvette Tello “You know how much the Spurs get paid to put a company’s name on the side of the arena?

Millions of dollars,” said Gina Ortiz Jones, as she addressed the city’s growing needs— including funding for additional police officers. She made it clear: public safety matters, but so do all the other priorities facing our community. And when major organizations benefit from our city, is it fair to ask them to give back in meaningful ways? Now the conversation is on the table—should the San Antonio Spurs help support funding for more police officers? Do you agree with the mayor’s approach?

Or should that responsibility remain solely with the city? Let’s talk about it…

in more opportunities. Our Mayor is Alan Thomas: “She wants the Spurs not business friendly. City council who play 41 game days a year to pay for officers for 365 days a year?” members have time to step up.”

Richard Cortez: “She’s just bummed Johnny Rockets: “Translation, help she can’t find a way to funnel some of me continue to defund the police. They have money for rainbow sidewalks and that $$$$$$ into back pockets” endless armies of bureaucrats working Herb Rockman: “I honestly don’t in c suites. Just not for public safety.... know what type of things the NBA or almost like that was the whole point of Spurs themselves are required to pay taxes in the first place.” for now, but if it’s a common practice” Christopher Cuellar: “That’s the truth, accepting the first offer from Michael Momo Chazz Martinez: the Spurs for Project Marvel was a “She doesn’t think very well. mistake, we should have negotiated Departments don’t often accept funds harder and gotten more out of it for from organizations, because it creates a our community.

Zachary Sherman: “She has no Petey Pete Pedro Lara: “What a joke concept of how the Spurs help fuel the this shenanigan has turned out to be” SA economy.”

Jerry Navarro: “I honestly think we should pull out of all venues and Teresa Rodriguez: “I believe she’s have the host team provide their own talking about city wide needs, not just security and they pay them... Just like police officers. As federal and state when you go rent a venue somewhere funds dry up, city and county budgets they make you have security” will face a huge deficit.”

John Ybanez: “She is off base” Richard S. Cardenas: “Mayor Jones needs to get off this Spurs is the magical Adri Dele: “Well, they got the money” pot of money that can solve the City short falls.

Formula 1, MLS, PBR, SXSW and Circuit of the Americas Steve Ortiz: “The spurs bring so much concert series, are pulling huge and this idiot wants more what crap has crowds.

Tom Shattuck: “You Democrats put the city in this position by electing the DEI Mayor!!”

Tank Williams: “Y’all are mad at her for asking for billionaires to spend money to help protect their billion dollar investment? Or is it because she’s a female?”

Jonathan Hernandez: “I mean she’s not wrong I’m a Spurs fan and would love that Marvel project but at the same time I feel like the city shouldn’t be forking a big chunk of the money to build it.”

Marty Bera: “You are doing a great job Ms. Ortiz! Keep up the good work”

Living Easter Every Day: A Path to a More Loving Life

By J. Gilberto Quezada Growing up in my beloved Barrio El Azteca, I first learned the quiet, everyday truths that later became the heart of Living Easter Every Day. In that tightly woven community—where neighbors looked after one another, where kindness was a daily ritual, and where love was expressed in simple, steady acts—I discovered the very practices I now invite others to embrace during Easter. The barrio taught me that compassion is not seasonal, generosity is not ceremonial, and hope is not reserved for holy days; they are ways of living. Everything I encourage in this story was first planted in me by the people, the streets, and the spirit of El Azteca.

Easter is, at its heart, a celebration of renewal— of life overcoming death, of hope rising where despair once lived. For Catholics, Christians, and people of faith, Christ’s resurrection is not only a moment to commemorate

but an invitation to transform the way we live.

The message of Easter becomes most powerful when it moves from the church pew into our homes, workplaces, and relationships. It reminds us that every sunrise is a chance to begin again with more compassion, more patience, and more courage.

At home, Easter’s meaning can soften the rough edges of daily life. The resurrection teaches forgiveness—not as a lofty ideal but as a practical tool for peace.

Families thrive when grace is given freely, when apologies are offered sincerely, and when love is chosen even on difficult days. Living Easter at home means creating an environment where each person feels valued, safe, and understood. It means letting go of old resentments and choosing to build a future rooted in kindness rather than past hurts.

In marriage and close relationships, Easter encourages a deeper

kind of presence. Christ’s sacrifice and renewal remind couples that love is not static; it grows through humility, service, and mutual respect.

Spouses can honor the spirit of Easter by listening more attentively, supporting each other’s dreams, and offering compassion during moments of weakness.

This kind of love doesn’t erase challenges, but it strengthens the bond that carries two people through them.

Friendships and community life also benefit from Easter’s message.

The resurrection calls us to be sources of hope for one another—to lift others up, to be generous with our time, and to practice empathy even when it’s inconvenient. At work, this might look like offering encouragement to a struggling colleague, choosing integrity over shortcuts, or bringing a spirit of cooperation instead of competition.

When people of faith embody these values, workplaces become more

humane and communities more connected.

Even those who do not identify as Christian or religious can find meaning in the themes of Easter. Renewal, forgiveness, resilience, and hope are universal human experiences. The idea that one can rise after falling, begin again after failure, or bring light into dark places resonates across cultures and beliefs. Easter can inspire anyone to reflect on how they treat others, how they care for themselves, and how they contribute to a better world. Its message is not limited to doctrine—it is a reminder of the human capacity for growth and goodness.

And the story of Easter and the ancient goddess Eastre often feels like a gentle braid of history and myth, woven together across centuries.

While scholars debate the exact connections, there is something undeniably warm in the idea that early spring celebrations—honoring renewal, light, and the

return of life—could echo through both traditions.

Eastre, associated with dawn and new beginnings, embodies the same hopeful spirit that later blossomed into Easter’s message of rebirth. Even if their relationship is more poetic than literal, the shared themes of awakening and transformation create a comforting sense of continuity, as if people across time have always reached for the same light after a long winter.

Ultimately, Easter invites all of us—believers and nonbelievers alike— to imagine a world shaped by compassion.

A world where we strive to understand rather than judge, to heal rather than harm, and to build rather than break. When we carry the spirit of Easter into our daily lives, we become instruments of peace in our homes, our relationships, and our communities. And in doing so, we help create the kind of world that reflects the very hope Easter celebrates.

Latina Artist Marta Sánchez Featured at The National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago

By Ricardo Romo, Ph.D Marta Sánchez’s train artwork is presently included in an exhibition organized by the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. The exhibit documents how Mexican and Mexican American railroad workers helped build Chicago’s rail system and is titled Rieles y Raíces, which translates to Rails and Roots. The show features multiple artists and traces more than a century of railroad labor across Chicago and the Midwest, from the 1800s through the present day. Her print, “Men working on the Track,” at the Chicago show, follows the social and cultural traditions of Mexican and Chicano/an Art illuminating the contribution of ordinary workers.

A professional artist for the past four decades, Sánchez has created artwork inspired by traditional Mexican folk art expressions. Her art is also deeply influenced by her Catholic Latino upbringing and Mexican folk art in her hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Sánchez uses spiritual and cultural images to honor everyday people, such as railroad workers.

Her vibrant works often address themes of identity, migration, family memory, and social justice. Two of her new works, “Thanksgiving on Seguin Street” and “Abuelita Señora Blanca,” have been recently acquired

by The Cheech Museum in Riverside, California.

6th Street on the Eastside of the city, which reinforced her Chicana cultural roots.

To find her voice as an artist, Sánchez gained inspiration from Austin’s m an y cu l t u ral ev en t s , exhibitions, plays, and jazz sessions. The Texas capital city also supported the emergence of local Chicano artists Raul Valdez, Luis Guerra, and Jose Trevino during the early 1980s.

Sánchez wrote: “My work slowly turned from being purely artistic to becoming art that served a purpose as I evolved from being a student to an artist, to a Chicana artist.”

Sánchez’s art journey began at an early age when she taught herself to draw. Her appreciation and understanding of art grew as she ventured downtown by herself on the city bus to browse through the art bookshelves of the San Antonio Public Library. As a teenager, she attended Fox Tech High School, where During her years at UT she excelled in Commercial Art classes. She took an Austin, she collaborated interest in photo-realism and with several art lovers and patrons. Sylvia Orozco of also learned drawing.

During her Mexican food and exhibiting years in Austin, she worked Chicano art. Sánchez had part-time as a waitress at the several of her artworks famed Cisco’s Bakery on shown at Las Manitas.

Master of Fine Arts program at Temple University in Philadelphia. At Temple University, Sánchez took the opportunity to participate in the university’s education abroad program in Italy. In Italy, she visited the ancient site of Pompei. There she studied the Roman Retablos– art on flat tin plates, an ancient process similar to the later era of retablos found in Catholic churches throughout Mexico.

Sánchez developed as an artist while at UT Austin, but decided by her senior year in college to pursue a graduate degree that would also prepare her as an art educator. In 1982, she earned a BFA in Painting As a result of growing up from the University of Texas at Austin. The following in San Antonio, Sánchez year, she enrolled in the has been fascinated with

As a child, she also admired the train track patterns and the hundreds of trains gathered at the railyards daily. “There I would draw the landscape full of trains and wonder about their departures and arrivals.”

The railroads came to San Antonio 120 years before any artist took an interest in them. Sanchez considered the railroad key to San Antonio’s early economic development.

Trains brought immigrants and manufactured goods to the city and made the shipment of economic resources such as cattle and agricultural products possible. Moreover, Mexican workers helped build the railroad lines and depended on the trains for moving to and from San Antonio to harvest crops in the Midwestern states and California, Oregon, and Washington.

Sánchez approaches her art about trains with the idea of sharing art and history. She has been painting and teaching art in Pennsylvania for the past 30 years, but Sánchez remains deeply committed to her Texas roots. She wrote: “Regardless of where I am

Although she remains a very accomplished artist, Sánchez also earns a living as a museum teacher at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and as an art instructor at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia.

Celebrating Conjunto Legacy & Leadership A beautiful night honoring culture, music, and community at the Conjunto Heritage Taller Award Ceremony. The evening was proudly co-hosted by La Prensa Texas Publisher Yvette Tello and the Honorable Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez, bringing together voices that continue to uplift and preserve our rich conjunto traditions.

From heartfelt recognitions to powerful moments on stage, the night was a true celebration of heritage, leadership, and the music that defines our community. and handing out candy to neighborhood children, often with the help of her daughter Helen. Thanksgiving became a hallmark of her home, with meals prepared for dozens of family members.

Christmas was marked by her determination to ensure that every child and grandchild received something, no matter how modest, so that each would feel remembered and loved.

Her family grew to include 13 grandchildren and 17 greatgrandchildren. Among them, she cherished her grandson Nicholas Maldonado and her great-grandchild Rafael Michael, each representing a continuation of the family she nurtured so deeply. Her faith was a quiet but constant presence in her life. At St. Paul Catholic Church, she made a personal commitment to attend Mass regularly, often on her own. She ensured that each

of her children received the sacraments and were raised in the Catholic faith. Hers was a faith not expressed in words alone, but in action—through care, sacrifice, and devotion to others. In the 1970s, after raising her children, Angelina went to work at Bill Miller BarB-Q at Zarzamora and Martin.

She did so to help support her family during times when work was not always steady.

She took pride in working and contributing, just as she had in her younger years as a carhop—always with the same purpose: to care for those she loved. Later in life, she found joy in traveling with family, especially to Las Vegas, a place affectionately known within the family as her “Disneyland.”

She delighted in the simple pleasures—time together, laughter, and being surrounded by those she loved most. But more than anything, Angelina Escareño was defined by her care for others. She cared for her mother until her passing.

She cared for her mother-inlaw. She cared for her husband through his long illness with dementia. She cared for her grandchildren, many of whom spent significant parts of their lives in her home. When her husband became gravely ill, she insisted he remain at home, surrounded by family.

Even when hospice care was introduced, she brought him back home so that he could be in

a place of love and familiarity.

This was not an isolated act.

It was the pattern of her life.

In her final months, that same care was returned to her. She remained at home, surrounded by her children—especially her daughters Helen, Elizabeth, and Patricia—and her niece Stacee, a nurse who helped guide her care. The family maintained a constant presence.

She was never alone. In January, she attended her greatgrandson Isaiah Maldonado’s wedding—a moment of great joy and one of the family’s final shared celebrations with her.

In her final days, she received what she had given throughout her life: love, dignity, and the comfort of family close at hand. Angelina “Nina” Fernandez Escareño lived a life grounded in faith, family, and love. She was the foundation of her family, a steady and loving presence who always put others first. Her family takes comfort in knowing that she is now reunited with her beloved husband, her parents, and those who went before her.

And here, on the West Side of San Antonio, her legacy endures—in the lives of her children, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren, and in the traditions she created that will continue for generations to come. She remains what she has always been:a steady, faithful, and enduring presence.
