"In Your Hands..en tus manos" Cover by Christy Martinez-Garcia On this month's cover feature's tthe hand of an infant resting in the hands of its father. As we embark on Father's Day I remind you that children with involved, caring fathers have better educational outcomes. A number of studies suggest that fathers who are involved, nurturing, and playful with their children grow up with higher IQs, as well as better linguistic and cognitive capacities. In many Latino families, the father is central to the nuclear family constellation as well as to the extended family network. Thus, Latino fathers in a rapidly evolving economic and social environment will help to define the types of programs and interventions that will work in the Latino community. With that Feliz Día de los Padres... Happy Father's Day!

“…it depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is. We’re in a catch-22 here in answering this question, because we went into a security bunker to read a secret trade agreement, and so we can’t tell you. But, you used the word — someone has assured you that nothing ‘is’ in the document related to immigration, ‘is,’ so that’s in the present tense, but that doesn’t mean that there can’t be tomorrow, so the word ‘is,’ is in the present, so it can be put in tomorrow, or at a future date."

Word From the Publisher

uring the summer we had many activities that remain part of my lifelong D memories.

My sisters and I were very creative and intuitive. We would come up with songs, cheers, plays, and activities to celebrate our everyday. In everything we did, we had fun.

When my dad would return from work – we stood outside and served as his welcoming committee. We’d wait anxiously, creating cheers and chants, and planning who would carry in what of his work accessories. One of us would carry his hard hat, the other his lunchbox, another his tool belt.

I can just imagine what he would think as he came up the driveway each day. I’m sure he felt very celebrated and special after a hard day’s work in the hot sun.

Our backyard was our sanctuary. We had a swimming pool that would keep us entertained for hours! Later in life, we discovered that it was actually a round water trough for cows! My mom got the idea that it would be sturdy, so she purchased it at a farm equipment store. To this day, I must admit - it remains one of the best ideals for a pool ever! It withstood constant use, lots of children, and never blew away like some of my friend’s plastic pools.

We played house in a trailer that my dad used for camping. We decorated the inside and played dolls and comadres – I giggle as I reflect on our conversations and pretending. We would act so grown up – but it was our place - NO ADULTS OR BOYS ALLOWED! Each summer as we grew, our older cousins went to the “limpia” (the cotton fields). They made it sound so exciting, and always bragged about how much money they made, which they would in turn use for school clothes of their choice, as well as for activities such as movies and the theme park. My sisters and I were so enticed by the fun they were having and the money they were making that we decided to go with them.

Let me just say, my cousins LIED! Working in the fields was hard work. This however was a revelation of my future if I didn’t go to college. Plus, it gave me a since of appreciation for my dad's hard work. I soon understood why he attended college at night.

As we embark on Father's Day, el Día de los Padres, (June 21) it is important to spend quality time with your kids as soon as possible.

As children grow into teens it becomes tougher to find common ground. Time with your children creates an ease in togetherness, a familiarity with each other's mannerisms, that reaches beyond any activity and into other aspects of your relationship.

The long and short of it, is that your children want to spend time with you. They need it with an unfathomable desperation that stretches from their completely dependent infant state into their seemingly disinterested teen and young adult years. Getting to know your children will be an adventure you'll always be thankful you're on. Make the time, dad, and start the journey now.

Again, congratulations to our graduates. We wish them all the very best in their future endeavors and in their higher education aspirations.

Latino Lubbock Magazine is excited to celebrate jamaicas, Father's Day, and Men's Health Week with our readers. Other observances include Artigas Day (Uruguay) June 19 , which celebrates the birthday of General José Gervasio Artigas, forefather of Uruguay. Feast of San Juan Bautista, or St. John the Baptist, patron saint of Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan on June 24. Other Latinos celebrate the day as el Día de San Pedro. And, Saint Peter and St. Paul, known as San Pedro y San Pablo on June 29th. Celebrated in Spain and many Latin-American countries. As can be seen, Latinos are just as diverse as the rest of the community.

Finally, may God Bless you and your family and place favor over you daily. Como siempre, Latino Lubbock is committed to highlighting the numerous contributions of our Latino community. Thank you to those who support our publication. We are grateful to have 100,000 readers monthly.

Please continue to support our advertisers who help make it possible to keep our publication free. Please invest in their businesses and services. ¡Gracias por su apoyo! Que dios los bendiga. PEACE and random acts of kindness. Que las bendiciones de dios estén contigo en mayo y siempre!

Sinceramente, Christy Martinez-Garcia Publisher & Latino Market Specialist “Latino Lubbock for the Emerging Voice of Lubbock”

Proposed Changes to Education Act Undermine Civil-Rights Protections for Majority of Students

his school year marks the first T time in American history that students of color make up the ma-

jority of students in our nation’s public schools. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The statute sought to create equal educational opportunities for disadvantaged students, particularly students of color, which had long been disregarded due to segregation and political disenfranchisement. Unfortunately, the Every Child Achieves Act of 2015, which would amend and alter the ESEA, rolls back our nation’s core education civil rights protections. In fact, under the guise of providing flexibility to states, the ECAA sacrifices critical accountability provisions which formed the civil rights foundation of the ESEA. Amendments that could have restored these provisions were withdrawn, and the ECAA was rushed through the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee for consideration on the Senate floor.

In the landmark decision Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka,

vice to our children and nation, and cannot become law.

Now is not the time to turn back the clock and weaken civil rights protections in our nation’s public schools.

The version of the ECAA that passed the Senate HELP Committee severely weakens the civil rights legacy of the ESEA. Our organizations represent Latinos, African-Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, students with disabilities, English-language learners and economically disadvantaged students. These students represent the new majority of students.

We oppose the current version of the ECAA and call on members of Congress to ensure that these critical provisions are incorporated in the ECAA as the legislative process continues. These provisions are key to maintaining the civil rights foundation of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the Every Child Achieves Act of 2015 cannot become law without them.

SACNAS 10 YEARS First and foremost, thank you for attending our SACNAS 10 year anniversary banquet!

For us, it's always great to feel this support from others. When you had shared your comment about the impact we had on you, we may have just had a round of applause, but we hope you understood that it was mutual to us. The impact of your words are what keep people listening, and people who make efforts like yours are what keep organizations like ours growing stronger every day.

From all of the seniors we thank you for taking the time to meet all of us! Not only did you take our pictures (lots and lots of pictures!) but you took the time to find out more about us. We're all different students who share the same passion for SACNAS and you were able to make each of us feel uniquely important.

Finally, it's time for my personal thank you.

Being from Lubbock, Texas I can personally say that the impact Latino Lubbock has on the community is boundless. It's literally become habit to pick up a copy (or multiple copies) every month and find someone we know in it! The amount of Latino diversity within Lubbock and its surrounding communities would never get the spot light it deserves without your help. So, as an avid reader, thank you for continuously and actively participating in events across the community to help each of us spread the word.

cility will house family practice/adult medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, dental, pharmacy, mental health, laboratory, ophthalmology, health education, healing arts center, wellness center, and administrative services. The ground floor will include doctor’s offices and a patient waiting area. The second floor will include an exercise area and conference room. The building will have art displays featuring local artists, which CHCL hopes will make the ambiance more peaceful within the center.

This new facility will replace CHCL’s two current downtown locations located at 1313 and 1318 Broadway. "We encourage patients, collaborators and supporters to drive by the new location to view the current building process," said admin-

istrators.

The cost of the construction project is $14.5 million. So far, the organization has raised a total of $8,590,649, which is 59.25% of the goal. CHCL will continue its fundraising efforts throughout construction of the new facility. Increasing the amount of funding raised is important because more money can be put toward patient services.

CHCL is also working with local, state and national foundations seeking applications for funds.

"Thank you to all our partners and donors who have made this possible," they added.

Latinos in Personal Finance Could Boost the Economy

ith some 53 million Hispanics in the counW try, the financial sector sees Latinos as a key growth area and is seeking to boost the num-

ber of Hispanics working in the financial industry to help draw more Latino families into the savings and investments world.

In 2012, only 5.9 percent of people employed in securities, commodities, funds, trusts and other financial investment sectors were Latino, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report from that year.

Additionally, in a recent survey of 1,023 Americans who self-identified as Latinos and who earned over $25,000, just 15 percent said they used a financial adviser. That compares to 30 percent for the population generally.

Increasing the number of Hispanic financial advisers and expanding financial services to more Latino families is not just good business for companies, it is crucial to growing the economy, said Isaac Cohen, president of DC Inverway LLC and an economic consultant who works primarily with Hispanic businesses.

“My experience working with small Latino entrepreneurs is that most created their companies using personal savings, mortgages of family homes, loans from relatives and credit cards,” said Cohen.

Working with Latinos new to the world of 401Ks, IRAs, mutual funds and even simple savings accounts requires some insight into the role family and culture play in their financial decisions.

The survey also found 20 percent of Hispanics

did not own any financial or insurance products double that of the general population and African American community. Only 62 percent of Hispanics had savings accounts and 19 percent had IRAs, compared to 81 percent and 39 percent of the general population.

Even among those earning more than $75,000, the survey found significant disparities between Latinos and the general population. Sixty-six percent of Latinos had savings accounts; 87 percent of the general population did. Thirty four percent of Latinos had IRAs, compared to 52 percent.

Jody Agius Vallejo, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California and author of Barrios to Burbs: The Making of the MexicanAmerican Middle Class, said it’s important to recognize there are class variations within the Latino population. But for many Latinos who did not come from wealth, “there weren't role models that could mentor and usher upwardly mobile Latinos into these careers.”

Hispanic financial advisers stress that understanding the context of family and culture is key to helping a client make important decisions about spending and investments. The survey also found 15 percent said supporting elderly family members is a priority, compared to 6 percent of the general population. Moreover, 42 percent of non-U.S. born Latinos regularly send money to relatives in their home countries. Almost onethird of Hispanics placed importance on funding their own children’s or grandchildren’s education, compared to 18 percent of the general population.

ministration plans to shield up to 5 million people - including young immigrants known as "Dreamers" – from deportation.

At issue was President Obama's proposed extension of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, created in 2012, and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Legal Permanent Residents, or DAPA, which was scheduled to start in May. Although the programs do not create a path to citizenship, critics have labeled them “amnesty,” and on last month they praised the 2-1 ruling from the New Orleans-based appellate court.

“Texas just won the executive amnesty case at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The Constitution wins,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a vocal critic of Obama's immigration policies, wrote in a tweet.

Twenty-six states, led by Texas, had sued to stop the programs, arguing that the president had overstepped his constitutional authority. Judges Jerry E. Smith and Jennifer Walker Elrod agreed. They also found that Texas officials could suffer a “cognizable injury” from the cost of having to issue driver’s licenses to at least 500,000 people that might be covered under the executive action.

Smith was appointed by President Reagan and Elrod by President George W. Bush. Judge Stephen A. Higginson, who dissented, was appointed by Obama. The White House noted his dissent.

“Today, two judges of the 5th Circuit chose to misinterpret the facts and the law in denying the government's request for a stay,” said Brandi Hoffine, a White House spokeswoman. “As the powerful dissent from Judge Higginson recognizes, President Obama's immigration executive actions are fully consistent with the law.”

She insisted that Obama’s actions were within his authority and cited the 15 states, the District of Columbia and other constituencies that have joined the administration in asking the courts that Obama’s immigration programs be allowed to move ahead.

The Justice Department is evaluating the ruling and will consider its next steps while its appeal of the preliminary injunction proceeds on an expedited basis in the 5th Circuit, administration officials said.

Obama announced last fall that he was using his executive power to grant three-year work permits and temporary protection from deportation to about 4 million adults who are parents of U.S. citizens and have lived in the country for at least five years. He said the DAPA program was an extension of his authority to prioritize immigration enforcement.

DACA allows young people brought into the United States illegally as

fore the U.S. Supreme Court, immigrant rights advocates told the media during a news conference. The legal wrangling means that immigration officials would probably have just a few months to launch and implement the programs before the 2016 elections if the courts approve it.

“Although we are unquestionably disappointed in today’s ruling, this is not the end of the road but a delay in what we believe will be an eventual victory,” said Clarissa MartínezDe-Castro, Deputy Vice President, Office of Research, Advocacy and Legislation, NCLR. “Our community remains steadfast in our commitment to keeping hardworking families together. Not only will these executive actions bring relief to millions of American families, they are in the best interest of this nation’s economy and national security.”

“Those who continue to block commonsense relief to settle a score with the president should realize that their political gamesmanship is destroying lives and alienating an increasingly influential voting bloc, who will remember these very personal attacks on our families and our community come Election Day,” added Martínez-De-Castro. “It should not be lost on anyone that a key function of the president is to nominate federal judges, and for the Senate to ‘advise and consent’ to those nominations. We will continue to remind our community that by exercising their power at the ballot box, they can help determine who will be making judicial decisions that, with the stroke of a pen, can snatch potential lawful status away from millions.”

Further, in response to the decision, LULAC National Executive Director Brent Wilkes issued the following statement: “We are disappointed by the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denying the DOJ’s motion for emergency stay... As a result, millions of immigrants who are eligible under DAPA or DACA will continue to be denied the opportunity to participate in the American dream.

The lawsuit filed by twenty-six states is a politically-motivated action that does nothing to address the human consequences of a broken immigration system. We urge these state leaders to stop engaging in wasteful litigation and instead support common sense immigration reform that benefits all Americans.

LULAC remains confident that upon hearing all arguments on appeal, the Fifth Circuit will hold the Executive Orders to be constitutional, and will thus permit the full implementation of DACA and DAPA. In the meantime, LULAC will continue to fight for the livelihood and dignity of immigrants across this country.

These hard working individuals make meaningful contributions to our society every day and must not

may be placed in the dicey position of having to answer whether they would keep and extend the programs if elected, said Marielena Hincapie, executive director of the Los Angeles-based National Immigration Law Center.

“We know that U.S. citizen family members, neighbors and friends will vote with that in mind,” she said.

“Will [the candidate] be supportive of extending this executive action?"

If the programs survive the courts and are implemented, a question still looms: Will immigrants who qualify be willing to apply and identify themselves to federal officials if there is the potential that the next person in the White House might scrap Obama’s efforts and take an enforcement-only approach to illegal immigration?

In February, U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen, sitting in Brownsville, Texas, issued an injunction putting the programs on hold. His action came in response to the suit filed by the 26 states. The ruling comes after the appeals court panel held an unusual 2½-hour hearing April 17 on the administration's request to stay the injunction.

The panel's action drew praise and scorn.

"U.S. immigration laws should be respected and enforced," Robin Hvidston, executive director of We The People Rising, said in a statement. “President Obama should focus his energy upon the needs of U.S. citizens, and assist Americans who are unemployed, homeless, families in poverty, veterans and the disabled, not individuals in the USA illegally."

Lee Gelernt, an ACLU attorney, said in an interview that the ruling would "cause needless hardship to thousands of law-abiding families.

The federal program is consistent with congressional intent and the Constitution and the states have no business trying to enjoin this program.”

Fifteen states, including California, had filed briefs arguing on behalf of Obama’s executive actions.

Appearing on behalf of the federal government before the panel in New Orleans, Benjamin C. Mizer, acting assistant U.S. attorney general and a former Ohio solicitor general, failed to persuade the justices that states lacked standing to challenge the federal programs.

The panel appeared to have been swayed by Scott Keller, Texas' solicitor general, who argued that Obama bypassed Congress to create a policy of deferred action that the states were forced to follow without proper administrative notice.

A full hearing by the 5th Circuit on the preliminary injunction,is scheduled for the week of July 6.

In-State Repeal, Sanctuary Cities Back on Calendar

fter sitting idle in the Senate A for more than a month, a controversial bill to eliminate in-state

tuition rates for undocumented immigrants is back on the upper chamber’s calendar.

But it remains unclear whether the Senate has the votes to bring the measure up for debate.

Senate Bill 1819 by state Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, would do away with what has been standard policy in Texas since 2001: allowing non-citizens, including undocumented students, to pay discounted in-state tuition rates if they

have lived in Texas for three or more years.

The proposal was originally placed on the Senate’s intent calendar on April 15 after an hours-long and emotional committee hearing — but it was taken off that calendar next day. During the first 130 days of the session, Senate rules require a bill to stay on the calendar for two days before being brought up for debate.

On Tuesday, the bill was back on the calendar along with another controversial measure, Senate Bill 185 by state Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock.

That proposal seeks to give local law enforcement expanded immigration enforcement powers.

SB 185 has been on and off the intent calendar several times since passing out of committee on April 13, a sign that the measure didn’t have support from 19 senators — the threshold

needed to bring it up for a debate.

The upper chamber’s 11 Democrats have stood united in their opposition to both measures, and at least two Republicans are firm against it.

State Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, told The Texas Tribune on Monday that he still had “great reservations” about both measures.

“As a conservative I think both of those bills have some unintended consequences that could be dire,” he said.

And state Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, reiterated on Monday that he’s against both bills. That means one Democrat would have to join the Republicans.

Even if that happened and the Senate voted the bills out, the clock is ticking. Saturday is the House's deadline to pass Senate bills out of committee. The House has also had less of an appetite for those measures than the Senate, which means SB 1819 and SB 185 could languish there until June 1 — the end of the current session.

Statement on the Mark Ysasaga Case by the Lubbock Police Dept.

he Lubbock Police Department T announced an arrest warrant for Jose Angel Simental, a Hispanic

male born December 8, 1994. He is being charged with the murder of Mark Anthony Ysasaga, born March 28, 1997.

In a press release from the Lubbock Police Department, Mark Ysasaga was reported as a missing person on June 15, 2012.

"Based on the information available at the time, it was initially investigated as a missing person case and our investigators conducted an active, thorough, and on-going investigation into his disappearance.

In addition, the citizens and community of Lubbock have rallied around Mark’s family and have assisted with publicity, social media, and numerous physical searches in an effort to bring Mark home. Unfortunately, our investigation and extensive efforts have yet to locate him.

As is common in missing person cases like this, earlier this year, our homicide investigators gave this case a fresh look to try and develop any new leads. The entire case was revisited, involved persons were reinterviewed, and evidence was reevaluated. Based on the thorough investigation that had already been done, combined with the new work done by our homicide investigators, new evidence was discovered. This new evidence led us to a local residence, 3016 27th Street, where a suspected crime scene and blood DNA evidence was found. The blood evidence was in an amount and location that, when combined with statements and other corroborating evidence, led us to believe that we had indeed June/junio 2015, Vol. 9, Issue 6

located the scene of a homicide. In addition, the DNA from that blood evidence has been positively identified as belonging to Mark Ysasaga.

Thus, based on the totality of the investigation to date, we have established probable cause that Mark Ysasaga has been the victim of a homicide. Also, we have established probable cause and evidence that directly ties Jose Simental to Mark’s homicide and the crime scene. The arrest warrant for Jose Simental was filed this morning in Lubbock’s Third Precinct Justice of the Peace Court. Jose Simental is currently incarcerated in the Clemens Prison Unit in Brazoria County Texas on unrelated charges. Our investigators are serving Jose Simental with the arrest warrant in person this morning and will begin the process of extraditing him to Lubbock County as soon as possible.

Points of emphasis: First, this is still an ongoing and open investigation. The fact that an arrest is being made does not mean we are finished, in fact we still have a lot of work to do on this case, not the least of which is recovering Mark’s body for his family.

Second, we know there are more persons that are involved in Mark Ysasaga’s homicide. We know who these persons are and we are actively investigating them. We are encouraging anyone with information on this case, especially where Mark’s body may be recovered, to call Crime Line at 741-1000. Tipsters can remain anonymous and there is currently a $10,000 reward for information that leads to Mark’s recovery.

More information on Crime Line

can be found at our website w w w. l u b bock police. com .

Third, it is our hope that this step in the investigation will begin a sense of closure and MARK YSASAGA answers for Mark’s family. We have shared our findings with Mark’s parents, and it is now our duty at the Lubbock Police Department to continue to pursue justice on their behalf. In addition, we also thank the many citizens of Lubbock that have stepped up to assist in this case and have provided support for Mark’s family. You all have been heavily involved and followed this case from the beginning, and on your behalf as well, we will continue to seek justice for Mark.

While there is still much work to do, we would like to thank District Attorney Matt Powell, Prosecutors Sunshine Stanek and Wade Jackson, and their team of prosecutors and staff at the Lubbock County District Attorney’s offices for their help in getting the investigation to this point.

We look forward to our continued work on this case with them to ensure justice is done on behalf of Mark Ysasaga and his family.

We urge anyone with information to call Crime Line at 741-1000. Callers can remain anonymous."

Mendoza Celebrates 40 Years at SPC or the past F 40 years, Norma Men-

doza has been a staple at South Plains College. She’s left her fingerprints on the landscape of the campus by way of her exceptional green thumb. As a grounds maintenance worker, she has been responsible for utilizing colorful, eye-catching greenery, flowers and shrubs to enhance the curb appeal of the institution.

“I really enjoy the flowers and I

love plants,” she said.

SPC has always been a part of her life. Twelve of her family members have worked for the college.

Since June 1975, Mendoza has spent her time at SPC doing what she loves most – planting, nurturing, pruning trees and working in the flowerbeds across campus.

Mendoza said she enjoys going to work every morning and loves being a part of the grounds crew. Even though she has reached the 40-year milestone, she said she has no plans to retire. Away from campus, she enjoys working on her house and at her church.

“I will be here as long as the Lord gives me strength.”

United Supermarkets’ to Create 190 New Jobs

he Lubbock Economic DevelT opment Alliance (LEDA) announced that United Supermarkets,

a Lubbock-based retail grocery chain with 66 stores across Texas and New Mexico, will add 190 new jobs locally over the next couple of years.

The announcement was made during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.

The additional jobs include back office support and IT support, warehouse and transportation staff and more. These jobs will result in $7.2 million in annual salaries. United will also add 200,000 square feet to their current Lubbock distribution site, a $33.7 million capital investment for the community.

“The jobs we are talking about creating today are support function jobs, meaning that they are not store operation roles. It is important to recognize that by keeping and expanding the support functions for United here in Lubbock, the economic development that comes from company growth all

Once fully operational, the total value added impact (change in Lubbock County’s Gross Regional Product) will be $22.6 million annually.

“On behalf of the board and staff at LEDA and Market Lubbock, we would like to congratulate United Supermarkets on the expansion and continued success of their businesses,” John Osborne, CEO of LEDA and Market Lubbock, said. “The expansion of this local company, and the jobs they are set to create, will have a tremendous impact on Lubbock’s economy.”

“This is Our Best” was inspired by the massive inventory of new square footage across 28 homes in 3 developments. The Parade runs June 6th – 21st from 6-9pm on weekdays and 1-6pm on weekends.

Three of Lubbock’s finest communities featuring some of Lubbock’s premier builders are available for touring including Foxridge (98th and Ave. U), Oakmont Estates (114th and Uxbridge) and The Trails (92nd and Milwaukee). Homes are priced from $185k to over $1 million and feature over 95,400 square feet of new prod-

ucts, design & innovations.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for children ages 2-12 and free for children 2 and under. To allow adequate time to tour all of the beautiful homes, this year’s ticket will allow the participants two visits per ticket to the Oakmont Estates Parade site.

A portion of the Parade of Homes ticket sales benefit Lubbock Homes for Heroes whose 2015 recipient Marine Sergeant Christopher R. Montez was paralyzed from the neck down in a helicopter accident in 2004. The Montez home is available to tour as part of the Parade of Homes in the Foxridge Community.

Protect Yourself Against Mosquitoes

hile rain has been a welcome W site for the Lubbock area, rain puddles are concerning. That’s

in part because mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water.

Mosquitoes are known to pass blood-born illnesses from one victim to another. They are a major health hazard and are responsible for the transmission of yellow fever, malaria, dengue fever, encephalitis, and many other serious diseases. In parts of the world where mosquitotransmitted diseases are not common, it is the bite itself that presents the greatest difficulty. More infants and children are bitten by mosquitoes than by any other insect.

Drain standing water and limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed.

serious illnesses.

New research and improved technology are bringing us closer to understanding exactly where pain starts so that migraines and cluster headaches can eventually be prevented before they begin. Until then, new and better prescription drugs and pain relievers as well as nutrition, exercise, and other alternative remedies can help ease the pain. If you or some-

one you know suffers from inexplicable or recurring headaches that include vision impairment, tingling sensations, or other physical symptoms, make sure to get them checked out by a doctor.

For more information on headaches visit MedlinePlus (English & Spanish), or call the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health Resource Center at 1-800-444-6472 (English & Spanish).

Educate Yourself on Headaches

eadaches are one of the most H common physical ailments, accounting for about 10 million visits to doctors’ offices each year. Yet the exact causes of the pain remain largely a mystery. The International Headache Society has recognized 150 different kinds of headaches, usually brought on by stress, worry, or lack of sleep, but also hangovers, ice cream, and even sex. While many of the more common headaches are the result of specific actions and only cause temporary discomfort, others can be symptoms of more

os dolores de cabeza son una L de las afecciones físicas más comunes, que dan cuenta de cerca de 10 millones de visitas al médico cada año. No obstante, las causas exactas del dolor son, en gran medida, un misterio. La International Headache Society ha identificado 150 tipos diferentes de dolores de cabeza, por lo general, causados por tensión nerviosa, preocupaciones, o falta de sueño, pero también por resacas, helados, e incluso sexo. Mientras que muchos de los dolores de cabeza más comunes son el resultado de acciones específicas y sólo causan malestar temporal, otros pueden ser síntomas de enfermedades más graves. Nuevos estudios y las mejoras en la tecnología nos están acercando a entender más exactamente dónde es que el dolor se inicia, de tal manera que las migrañas o los

dolores de cabeza en serie pueden, eventualmente, prevenirse antes de que ocurran. Hasta ese momento, nuevos y mejores medicamentos recetados y analgésicos, así como una buena alimentación, ejercicios y otros remedios alternativos pueden ayudar a aliviar el dolor.

Clothing can help reduce mosquito bites. As such when weather permits, wear long-sleeves, long pants and socks when outdoors. Mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing, so spraying clothes with repellent containing permethrin or another EPA-registered repellent will give extra protection.

Real Men Get Check-Ups I

National Men’s Health Week (June 15-21)

n 1920, women lived an average of one year longer than men. Today, men die almost six years earlier than women and are more likely to die of heart disease and cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control. These troubling statistics haven’t translated into better health care practices for men. A recent survey found that men take better care of their cars than of their own health, according to Men’s Health Network.

Eighty-four percent of men said they had had their car serviced in the past year, but only 66 percent had been to the doctor for an annual check-up.

Putting off medical visits and ignoring symptoms is especially common among Hispanic men who, because of machista attitudes, often view go-

PURPLE POWER AGAINST LUPUS: Lupus survivors and those battling the disease took time for a group photo during the "Fill the Sky with Purple" event held at Maxey Park. Many family and friend supporters joined the event. The annual event launches purple balloons to draw awareness about the disease. Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body).

Although lupus can strike men and women of all ages, 90 percent of individuals diagnosed with the disease are women---two to three times more prevalent among women of color.

Most people will develop lupus between the ages of 15-44. For more info go to www. lupus.org

No deje que su hombre (y esto incluye a usted) sufra en silencio.

of summer is becoming overwhelming, which means another school year gone, and my freshmen year has come to an end.

Can you believe that I survived my first year in college? Between the brutal midterms, four a.m. practices, midnight square donut runs, and friendship drama; you really learn a lot about yourself. When I first came to Wayland I was insecure, asleep in my faith, and struggling with self-worth. Now, I’m comfortable and happy to be who I am, my faith is awake and growing rapidly, and I genially love life. A lot can happen in one year!

You learn a few things about life in your first year of college. Here are the lessons I learned that I hold dear to my heart. 1. PUT ALL YOUR TRUST

READ TO LEAD: Student volunteers from various Multicultural Greek organizations lined up to handout books to kids at the Optimist Boys & Girls Club, during the annual Día de los Niños, Día de los Libros event sponsored by Latino Lubbock Magazine. The event has been held annually for almost 12 years, giving books to children to encourage them to read over the summer. "Children loose 25% of their reading skills over the summer, we hope to change that," said Christy Martinez-Garcia, Publisher of LLM.

understanding.”- Proverbs 3:5. 2. BE YOURSELF, you can’t expect everyone to like you. Don’t change who you are just to please them. 3. When finding who you are DON’T FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM. Change and growing up is fantastic but if you can’t recognize yourself in the mirror, you’ve gone too far. Stay true to whom you are. Lastly, DON’T BE AFRAID. Fear is the greatest enemy to dreams, “don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.” – A Cinderella Story.

My freshmen year was everything I never expected it to be. To incoming freshmen, go in with no expectations. Be open hearted and ready for anything. Enjoy yourself because it is so worth it. “Do more than just exist.”

Pete's Barrio Memoir

s May ended and June began we would start to think about what we would do for the summer. We were older and did not like the idea of going out to the fields and working in the limpia. I had started to look for a summer job, and had found a couple of options. One of my tios had a Gulf gas station right across from Brooks.

He said he would give me a chance to work for him. I learned how to pump gas, check the oil, check tire pressure, and wash windows. I started out at.50 cents an hour, and after a 10 hour day I made $5, this was good

because I was not out working in the fields under the hot sun - at least we had a canopy that shaded us. It was easy work for the summer and it was in walking distance from my house. Gas prices fluctuated but ranged about .20 cents a gallon. If the other gas stations lowered their price, we would have to lower our price, creating what we called back then "gas wars". How many of you remember this?

El 2001 fue el ultimo año que celebramos el día de los padres con el.

Tenia 78 años, fuimos a Misa, mi hermano lo arrimo al altar para que recibiera la bendicion del sacerdote y nos fuimos para la casa a comer una comida chiquita. En agosto, un día despues de cumplir 79 años, mi papa se fue a estar con su papa en el cielo. ¡Feliz día de los Padres!

early a dozen Vietnam Medal of Honor recipients helped the Postal Service dedicate the Limited Edition Medal of Honor: Vietnam War Forever Stamps.

Several million service men and women fought in the conflict, which claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans. Two hundred fifty-eight people who served during the war received the Medal of Honor. More than six out of 10 recipients were honored posthumously.

The Vietnam War was a protracted conflict between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, beginning in the mid-1950s and ending with the fall of Saigon in the south in 1975.

The first U.S. combat troops were

committed to the defense of South Vietnam in March 1965, although American military advisers had been involved in South Vietnam since the 1950s. Several million Americans served on active duty in Vietnam until March 1973, when U.S. troops were withdrawn from the country.

The prestige folio stamp sheet depicts 48 of the more than 50 living Vietnam War recipients (some chose not to have their name and/ or photograph included). The folio, which lists the names of the recipients, is modeled after the World War II and Korean War Medal of Honor prestige folio stamp sheets issued in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Texas Sports Report With Mando Reyna

s we wait for A summer to enter our lives, we

are reminded that what we normally expect year in and out, are sometimes very different. The Rangers lead their division about this time normally, but now they teeter at .500 while the Astros are GOLFERS IN CHRIST Members of the Knights of Columbus #11807 of Our Lady of playing better ball than Guadalupe Church Lubbock took time to pose at the annual golf tournament. Proceeds from they are. As a result the event benefit church programs.

Houston now leads them in the standings. We noticed Nolan Ryan joined the Astros after he resigned with the Rangers a while back, but is it a coincidence they are now resurging while the Rangers seem to be going the other way? Now we know just about every Ranger fan burned their Hamilton jerseys when he left for L.A., but as the team brings him back, will that Four-Man Scramble, Shotgun Start be enough to change their course Gift bags, Lunch, prizes, raffle and more! and give hope for the Rangers and the fans to think that will be good All proceeds benefit college scholarships. enough to save this season? So many questions abound for both teams, and now is the time for everyone to get a better feel for the rest of the season.

really making a name for themselves enough to make the national media consider anybody from them to make the All Star team this summer. Things can change enough for Houston to make everybody pay for that perception, but they have to win enough road games this month to make that difference. The Mariners and Colorado await starting on the 17th, with the Angels being their major roadblock as they travel the west coast. The Yankees have proven to be beatable this season and having them at home on the 25th for a four game stand, can be very beneficial in the standings. If Texas can make any ground in the win loss standings, they will need to do it in the battle with the Dodgers in the middle of this month. Fifteen games on the road will determine if this Ranger team with their new manager Jeff Banister, can bring out the heart from them like Ron Washington did way back when. Don’t you wonder what a Nolan Ryan influenced team will accomplish this year? Well we are fixing to find out.

One thing we should also wonder about is where in the MLB draft will Jake Barrios be drafted after his spectacular career at Texas Tech. The MLB draft starts on the 8th and continues through to the 15th. Tech will have a fewer players in the fold

to start this next season with both pitchers and fielders going to MLB teams, so its great Coach Tadlock is recruiting another impressive class to solidify his program. Hopefully the RPI the Raiders had after losing to some division 2 teams will not affect Jake’s draft status or that of all the other prospects. Another thing out of the ordinary around here is the lack of local high school teams in the playoffs.

The Coronado girls exited their playoff run earlier than we are accustomed to while the entire boy’s squads but one, didn’t make a great push either.

Good thing we still have Frenship and Shallowater along with Littlefield to carry on local tradition when all else seems wrong in our sports scene. There’s still a long way to go for them and we hope that they can still go a long way. With the heavy rains we have experienced, make sure you’re little leaguers have plenty of mosquito repellant and water to help them play when they take the field. Catch some games, and take your father along. Happy Fathers Day. Editor's Note: Mando Reyna is an avid sports aficionado and fan. He contributes his sports perspective of local to national sports.
