"Los Veteranos" Photo by Christy Martinez-Garcia This month's cover features Los Veteranos, the Heroes of our Freedom. Many veterans unless they are wearing caps, uniforms, or clothes that identifies them as veterans, often go unnoticed and not thanked for their service. This time of the year however, specifically on Veteran's day, Nov. 11, 2015, we can thank them for their service and their courage to save our county. I personally take such pride in the service of our veterans and active military, because many of my family members served our country with such pride and dedication for multiple generations. To our veterans, as well as to our active military we thank you and we salute you. Here's to you our heroes!

"We are very concerned that some of the candidates have gone so far to the right, that it will be impossible in the general election to come to the center. As Latinos, later on, we have to go to our communities and stand by our nominee and it would be impossible to defend the indefensible." - Rosario

Happy Thanksgiving Day Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias T hursday, Nov. 26, 2015

In 1621 the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is now known as the first Thanksgiving. While cooking methods and table etiquette have changed as the holiday has evolved, the meal is still consumed today with the same spirit of celebration and overindulgence.

Word From the Publisher

A

ll veterans who have fought for our country's freedom are heroes because of their sacrifice.

As an advocate of the Latino community, it is especially important for me to acknowledge Hispanic Veterans who have and are contributing to the cause of freedom.

And, while I take pride in reading books and watching movies depicting wartime, troops and companies who performed heroic acts, I question the lack of stories and movies showcasing Latino heroes.

Some may not realize that over 1.1 million veterans are Hispanic. And, over the last two centuries, and, according to the Defense Department publication, Hispanics in America’s Defense, “when our country has been in need, Hispanic Americans have had more than their share of stouthearted, indomitable soldiers. Their intrepid actions have been in the highest tradition - a credit to themselves, their ancestry, and our nation.”

In World War I (1914-1918), the military was widespread with discrimination against Hispanics. Soldiers with Spanish surnames or Spanish accents were sometimes the objects of ridicule and relegated to menial jobs.

Latinos lacking English skills were sent to special training centers to improve their language proficiency so that they could be integrated into the mainstream army.

Despite the past, from the American Revolution to Desert Storm, Hispanic Americans have risked their lives to defend the United States and the principles upon which it stands.

Even today, many of our sons and daughters serve as America’s soldiers in the U.S. Armed Forces, and are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the world, including the estimated 69,000 foreign-born soldiers who are currently serving in the U.S. military. These soldiers make up nearly 5% of the military personnel on active duty.

In addition, Latino men and women have also served with distinction in the U.S. military since our nation’s inception, including nearly 500,000 in World War II, and nearly 40 Latinos have won our nation’s highest award, the Congressional Medal of Honor.

More than 53,000 Hispanics were on active duty in 2003 and another 1.1 million are veterans of the U.S. military. Many have also been honored with American citizenship as a result of their military service; more than 25,000 immigrants who have served in the military have become U.S. citizens through a special wartime military naturalization statute.

Suffice to say, Latinos are committed to the success of this country and proudly serve in the U.S. military.

So as we celebrate Veterans Day, which originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. It became evident that Congress passed the resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938 that would honor ALL Americans who served their country. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars. As such let us honor ALL Veterans this Veterans Day, and let us remind those who sometimes overlook that Latinos have also made sacrifices for our American freedom.

And as we honor Veterans, let us truly exemplify our gratitude to them by making time to VOTE. Living in this free and amazing country is something we cannot take for granted. More so, the commitment by our troops should prompt us even more to VOTE for a freedom that exist because of the sacrifice of these fine men and women.

This Thanksgiving season we are grateful to God for all of His favor, and for giving us the ability to deliver His word through our work, and through our actions. I'm especially grateful for the blessings of my family - my husband Frank and daughter Amaris, good health, and our readers.

And as always, may God place favor over you and your family. Thank you for believing in and supporting us. And thank you to our advertisers.

Please invest in their businesses and services, as they commit to investing in ours.

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. Thank you for your support and May God bless you! ¡Gracias por su apoyo! Que dios los bendiga. PEACE and random acts of kindness. Que las bendiciones de dios estén contigo siempre!

Latino Lubbock Magazine Among Nation's Best in Hispanic Print

BY KIRK WHISLER

ispanic Print continues to be H the number one source Latinos turn to for local news with 57% of Latino households using one or more Latino newspapers or local magazines on a weekly basis.

There are now local Hispanic publications in nearly every media market across the USA. Combined gross ad revenues grew 13% to $1.15 billion. This is amazing at a time when many medias are lucky to stay at the same level. While these numbers are still lower than the peak Hispanic Print year of 2007, they are growing.

Hispanic weekly newspapers and magazines remain a key strength with a combined total of 465 publications in this category. More Latino publications were audited this year than ever before: 227 publications with a combined audited circulation of 14.3 million. 46% of all Hispanic newspapers and 47% of all Hispanic magazines published today did not exist in 2000.

No other print media has seen this many start-ups in recent years. An interesting change is that now we are seeing for the first time more magazine start-ups than newspaper

start-up. This includes newsprint magazines. Online revues associated with Hispanic publications are approaching the $40 million level.

The 2014 NAHP Convention was held in Chicago. It was a landmark year for the NAHP’s José Martí Awards, the largest Latino media awards in the USA, with 17% of the entries coming from first time competitors, a good sign for the future strength of Hispanic Print. 2014 Winners came from all over the USA: major markets likes Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and New York; traditional strong markets like Atlanta, Austin, Brownsville, Dallas, Denver, Fresno, Las Vegas, McAllen, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco and Washington, DC; to rapidly growing markets including Lubbock.

The NAHP’s José Martí Awards are truly a reflection of the continuing strength of Hispanic Print. Among the national José Martí Awards

Carta Abierta

IN GOD WE TRUST Recently we heard of the Childress Police Department had “In God We Trust” placed on the back of each police vehicle. I strongly support this and it would be encouraging to see this placed on other police vehicles.

Over the past few years, there has been some controversy with how police responded to certain calls. Nevertheless, we may never know the truth about the situation at hand, and yet police have been put in a negative spotlight. In today’s society we have been so concerned on how we should make accommodations for everyone. These accommodations have made us look past our own religious beliefs.

We have done this simply to avoid an upset citizen or “lawsuit”.

Enough is enough already, it is time for us to STAND UP for our religious beliefs and be the Christian we feel called to be. When we choose not to live our Christian beliefs for the purpose of offending someone, they have won over us.

Freedom of Religion is defined as the right to practice whatever religion one chooses. If a fellow police officer chooses to have “In God We Trust” on the back of their vehicle, they should be allowed.

Let me explain why: They drive a police vehicle daily and respond to numerous calls.

Those calls can lead to a robbery, murder, abuse, hostage situation, or any emergency where literally their life is in danger. Police officers see acts of violence on a daily basis.

They too need to hear and see some uplifting words knowing that God is with them. How many times have we called on a police officer for service or protection? We are trusting in them that they fulfill that “protection and service” to the community. How nice it would be if we were having a bad day, since we all do, and come behind a patrol vehicle and see “In God We Trust”.

If you get offended “oh well” you will get over it. Isn’t it ironic when we sing God Bless America and yet we take God out of most public places? Isn’t this where God is needed mostly?

All I am saying is Police Officers have a voice and families to return home too. They should be allowed to have “In God We Trust” if they choose to, knowing that amongst all they go through, God is with them always. McDonalds started selling breakfast all day. Are you going to get offended?

COMMUNITY ANGEL Wow, I have so much good to say, but what really hits me is instead of simply (rightfully) complaining about under or misrepresentation, Mrs. Martinez-Garcia works harder than I can imagine to counter the despicable stereotypes surrounding the Latino and Hispanic and Lubbock community, and to report that which does not get noticed. She also happens to do this with an inclusive, community-wide, Christlike, kind, and intelligent approach. I have been depressed and devastated at the recent political talk. I really feel grateful for her and this newspaper. I have been reading it monthly for the last 5 years. You are a community angel.

Robert Montemayor, Pulitzer Prize Winner and Lubbock Native, Dies at 62 obert Montemayor, R a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, media

executive, author, and educator, died October 22 at the age of 62. He had suffered from cancer and had recently moved back to his hometown of Lubbock, TX from Bloomfield, N.J. Born on January 31, 1953 in Tahoka, TX, he started his journalism career as a feature and news writer for the Dallas Times Herald then at the Los Angeles Times, where he was a member of a team that won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Meritorious Public Service.

“His outstanding reporting and writing on the Latino series helped us win,” said Frank O. Sotomayor, series co-editor. “He co-wrote an insightful Mexican American roots story, and investigated and documented why many Latinos were faring poorly in education. He also profiled the diverse Mexican American community of San Diego, which had not been done before.”

Robert was nominated for a second Pulitzer Prize for international reporting and won several state and local writing awards, including an induction into the Texas Tech University Hall of Fame. His passion for journalism led to write on everything from politics to business, Latino issues, and especially, sports.

Chuck Lanehart, a prominent criminal law attorney in Lubbock, recalled meeting Robert shortly during the era of Watergate in 1971 after arriving at Texas Tech, where both received a journalism degree. Robert had already been entrenched at the college newspaper and Lanehart was hired as a reporter.

“We called ourselves the muckrakers and Robert was intense in covering the college administration,” Lanehart said. “He was con-

vinced there was a lot of Nixon type corruption going on.” Despite his determination into proving wrongdoing, Robert won the favor of the University president, the deans of the medical school and the journalism school and the faculty sponsor of the newspaper. All remained lifelong friends. A scholarship in Robert’s name has been established for recruiting incoming minority freshmen students to the College of Media and Communications.

Mexican Historical Records now on Ancestry Mexico

ncerstry.com announced in a press reA lease “the launch of new online services that will help Mexicans and the estimated 34

million Mexican Americans research their family history.”

The records were made available in collaboration with the Mexican Academy of Genealogy and Heraldry based in Mexico City. These folks got together with Family Search International to create microfilm of the records.

More than 220 million searchable historical records from Mexico, including new birth, marriage, and death records dating back to the 1500s are now available on the Ancestry site, many of them important historical records never before available online.

“The new service really unlocks for the first time online, family history research for Mexicans and Mexican Americans, whether you prefer to speak English or Spanish. It is fulfilling a huge need for a large and growing population group in the United States by helping them find their own unique stories and place in American and Mexican history,” Todd Godfrey, Vice President of Global Content at Ancestry.

In another first, the new Ancestry Mexico site will provide a Spanish language experience tailored specifically to Mexicans and Mexican Americans.

With such a culturally diverse population, nearly every citizen in the United States has ancestral connections to regions outside of America.

Ancestry has been working hard over the past few years to help people of Hispanic and Latino origins discover, preserve and share their family history by making important collections from Mexico searchable online to get them started.

These new records launching today were made available in part through Ancestry’s collaboration with the Mexican Academy of Genealogy and Heraldry based in Mexico City, Mexico, who originally created microfilm of these records with the assistance of FamilySearch International.

These records will help Mexican Americans build and explore their family tree and unveil key events, places, and relationships in the lives of their ancestors, including the names of family and friends involved as witnesses or godparents.

The people of Mexico have a diverse culture that comes from a variety of regions, including the indigenous peoples of Central and South America, and early immigration from Europe. With a deep sense of pride in this rich heritage, they are passionate about family and have been celebrating their ancestors for hundreds of years.

In celebration of Dia de los Muertos, Ancestry will provide FREE access to these new records from October 28th through November 2. After the FREE access period ends, Ancestry Mexico will be available through two subscription packages: On the Ancestry Mexico site, the Mexico + US Package ($10-$12 USD per month) will include access to all Mexican records plus US records relevant to Mexican Americans including, census, immigration, border crossings, BMDs, and relevant regional records.

All records from Mexico are also being made available as part of the World Subscription on the Ancestry.com website.

The Ancestry Mexico site is designed to meet the unique needs of people in Mexico, as well as Mexican-Americans with plans to enhance the service early next year.

Fall Back: Daylight Saving Time Nov. 1 all 2015 is officially here!

The history of daylight saving is tied to energy conservation.

Switching to DST in the summer means more sunlight at night, which in turn means homes don't have to turn on lights as early.

According to the U.S. Government , that leads to energy and fuel savings.

Paul Ryan Cuts Immigration Deal, Elected Speaker of the House n his effort to I become the next Speaker

LULAC COUNCIL #263 ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE: Some of the trailblazers and dedicated memers of LULAC Council #263 were out supporting other organizations, and living up to their catchphrase. Council #263 is one of the longest running organizations serving Hispanics in West Texas. Pictured are Dr. Neale Pearson, Armando Garcia, Robert Rodriguez, and Jaime Garcia.

of the House, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) made two immigration promises to Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

Rep. Ryan agreed not to move immigration legislation while Pres. Obama is still in office and to abide by the Hastert Rule on all immigration bills.

In a letter written by House Freedom Caucus Member Rep. Mo

Brooks (R-Ala.), Ryan made the following two promises with regards to immigration: 1.It is unwise or unproductive to bring up any immigration legislation so long as Barack Obama is president.

2.As Speaker, (Ryan) will not allow any immigration bill to reach the House floor for a vote unless the immigration bill is "supported by a majority of the majority" of the House Republican Conference.

While these promises look good in principle, a two-hour PBS documentary that aired last month, Immigration Battle, detailed how Ryan was able to win over the support of a majority of House Republicans on

an amnesty bill similar to the Gang of Eight's in 2014.

The documentary showed how Ryan worked with Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) to write a pro-amnesty bill that Republicans would pass.

According to the documentary, Ryan assured Gutierrez that he had gained enough Republican support to pass the bill on the House floor.

The bill was only stopped when House Freedom Caucus Member Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) defeated then-Majority Leader, Eric Cantor.

Cantor's defeat caused enough Republicans to back off of the Ryan bill to kill the deal.

He was welcomed as new speaker Oct. 29.

country with legal permission.

According to Castro, the language dates to the Naturalization Act of 1790. While that may have been an acceptable term then, the word has come to take on different meaning now. "When someone says aliens, we think of Martians or space aliens, not human beings."

He said precedent exists for changing words used by the federal government, for instance the government has removed use of the word "lunatic" and "mentally retarded" from statutes.

"Words matter, particularly in the context of an issue as contentious as immigration," Castro said. He said ending use of the term could bring civility at a time when vitriol surrounds national discussions of immigration reform and potential progress in fixing the nation's immigration system.

Castro's proposal comes as language used in reference to immigrants - terms such as "anchor babies" and descriptions of immigrants as rapists - on the 2016 campaign trail has been under scrutiny.

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has dismissed criticism of his language (it was raised about

how he discusses women), saying he and the country don't have time for "political correctness."

He uses the term alien throughout his immigration policy proposal released as part of his campaign.

In a recent interview with NBC News, he said he could be more politically correct, but that it takes time.

Media and other parts of society dropped use of the word alien and illegal alien long ago, said Castro.

"In this case, government has not caught up with the rest of society," Castro said.

The term, however, is used often in conservative media. The Associated Press Stylebook also advises against the use of the word "undocumented."

The League of United Latin American Citizens and the National Immigration Forum are backing Castro's proposed legislation.

Lawmakers Assure Ag Community Crop Insurance Rep. Joaquín Castro: Stop Using Cut Will Be Reversed the Word 'Alien' in Federal Law, Signs Washington lawmakers assured wind it and leadership has pledged

the agriculture community that they will not cut crop insurance Wednesday night, despite passing a budget bill that says otherwise. Farmers are worried.

"We just want to maintain what we have and make a decent living," Cotton Producer Doug Hlavaty said.

Texas Tech Associate Professor of Political Science Tim Nokken said cuts are necessary to pass budget bills.

"What we saw here was an increase in spending but they had to offset that in decreases in other places along with areas where they raised revenue in others," Nokken said.

Congressman Randy Neugebauer said negotiations took place before the vote that will reverse the crop insurance cuts in a later bill.

"We will have to find a way to un-

to do that and I'm going to take them at their word," Congressman Neugebauer said.

Some farmers are worried about politicians keeping their promises.

"We're just surviving farming right now, it's pretty tough," Hlavaty said.

"With prices as low as they are and anytime we have disaster or something like that you've got to have the crop insurance there to protect you so you can stay in business."

Nokken said he is optimistic farmer's will have nothing to worry about.

"I think with the push behind it from both Democrats and Republicans from farm states that traditionally these are the kinds of things that get done and help farmers," Nokken said.

.S. Rep. Joaquín Castro wants U the federal government to drop the word "alien" from its laws and

other official documents.

Castro, a Texas Democrat, has introduced a bill to strike the word and use the term "foreign national" in federal law. The proposed bill, which Castro dubbed the CHANGE Act, also would remove "illegal alien" from federal law and replace it with undocumented foreign national. In addition, the bill would make sure no executive branch agency use "alien" or "illegal alien" in signage or literature.

"America is a nation of immigrants, yet our federal government continues to use terms that dehumanize and ostracize those in our society who happen to have been born elsewhere," Castro said.

Castro told NBC News that removing the term "shows respect to our shared heritage and to the hundreds of millions of descendants of immigrants who call America home."

He pointed out that alien is used not only to describe people who arrived or stayed in the country illegally, but also those who have come to the

Trump Claims Latinos Love Him; Poll Says Not A Chance

epublican front-runner DonR ald Trump is widely unpopular among the nation's Hispanics, a

new AP-GfK poll fi nds, challenging the billionaire's often repeated assertion that he will win the Latino vote if he becomes his party's nominee.

The survey fi nds many of the Republican candidates running for president would probably struggle to win significant support among Hispanics in a general election.

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are their favorites, but even they are a hard sell, the poll suggests. Even so, most in the field are unknown to enough Hispanics that they might have a shot at proving themselves.

That's a particular struggle for Trump, who began his campaign

for president by calling some immigrants from Mexico rapists and has vowed to deport all of the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally if he is elected president. Trump is viewed unfavorably by 72 percent of Hispanics, with 6 in 10 having a very unfavorable opinion of him, the poll fi nds.

Only 11 percent view him favorably.

Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, the Hispanic civil-rights advocacy group, said the fi ndings are no surprise and "consistent from what we've heard from the community."

Trump's provocative comments about the character of immigrants and his plans for mass deportation and construction of a wall all along the Mexican border stirred a backlash from Latino groups. He also bailed on an event with Hispanic business leaders.

Nonetheless, Trump says Hispanics love him.

"I have fantastic relationships with the Hispanics," Trump said last week. "I employ thousands of Hispanics right now, tens of thousands over the years I've em-

ployed. They're fantastic people.

I think I will win with Hispanics when the word gets out."

The comments followed protests by a coalition of Latino groups infuriated over NBC's decision to invite him to host "Saturday Night Live" next month.

Among Trump's rivals, Bush, who speaks fluent Spanish and married a Mexican-born woman, is viewed most favorably by Hispanics, with 26 percent giving the former Florida governor a positive rating. Rubio, a Florida senator and Cuban-American, comes in second, with 23 percent viewing him favorably.

Still, both Bush and Rubio are viewed unfavorably by more than one-third of Hispanics polled.

Trump does have a following of enthusiastic Hispanic backers who have launched groups like "Latinos Support Trump" on social media.

Javier Palomarez, president and CEO of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said Trump is in for a rude awakening if he thinks Hispanics love him. "Nothing could be further from the truth.

Never again will a president be elected without courting the Hispanic vote," he said. "He's going to fi nd out that we're the gatekeepers to the White House."

Clinton Campaign Launches 'Latinos For Hillary' C

apitalizing on her still positive polling numbers with Latinos, Democrat Hillary Clinton is made the most of Hispanic Heritage Month to bolster her backing in the community and overall na-

tionally.

The campaign launched "Latinos for Hillary" with several events that it will roll out over the next several weeks.

Clinton, the frontrunner early in the 2016 election, has seen her positive ratings drop among all voters and the wide lead over closest rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders, shrink or disappear in New Hampshire and Iowa.

The most recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released this week shows Clinton with a negative popularity rating, 39 percent to 47 percent (-8) favorable/unfavorable among all voters.

But among Latinos, 53 percent had a positive view of her versus 21 with

a negative view, according to the NBC/WSJ poll done Sept. 20-24.

To build on that backing, Clinton started her 'Latinos for Hillary' campaign with an interview with Telemundo's Maria Celeste Arraras in Miami.

She also spoke at the Congressional Hispanic Conference Institute's annual awards gala last month, which included a keynote from President Barack Obama.

Her first organizing event was held Oct. 15 in San Antonio, the hometown of Housing Secretary Julián Castro, seen by many as a potential runningmate to Clinton.

The campaign had a number of Latino house parties organized around the first Democratic debate held Oct. 13 and in several states, including Nevada.

Also, known Latino celebrities, elected officials and community leaders have begun publicly announcing their backing for her.

Latino voters loved President Clinton, loved her as first lady and as secretary of state," Lorena Chambers a political strategist.

"All of her initiatives will reintroduce her as a presidential candidate and will expand her support above and beyond name recognition."

November/noviembre 2015, Vol. 9, Issue 11

The growth of the Latino electorate and the addition of tens of thousands more Latinos to the ranks of eligible voters every month have given Latinos a higher profile in the election campaign this year.

Latinos were a key part of the coalition of voters who helped put President Barack Obama in office twice and have played key roles in the re-election of Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and in the election of Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo.

The incendiary comments of the GOP's Donald Trump regarding Latinos and immigrants has raised questions whether his campaign has hurt the party's efforts to gain ground in the community.

The NBC/WSJ poll found 67 percent of Latinos have a very negative view of Trump and a plurality, four in 10, have a negative view of the party.

Clinton has launched a similar campaign among women, "Women for Hillary," in early September with promises that women would not be a side issue of her campaign but flow throughout it. Clinton has seen a drop in her support among white women, but still has strong support from women of color.

Larrazolo Was First Hispanic Elected to the U.S. Senate ctaviano Larrazolo of New Governor of O Mexico became the first His- the State of panic elected to the U.S. Senate. New Mexico As a politician, he pushed to boost Hispanic representation so that the political system would reflect the state's population.

He was appointed clerk of the district court at El Paso, and then clerk of the United States District and Circuit Courts for the Western District of Texas at El Paso. Larrazolo was admitted to the bar in 1888. He was elected district attorney for the Western District of Texas in 1890, and reelected in 1892. He held the position until 1894.

Larrazolo moved to Las Vegas, New Mexico Territory, in 1895 and resumed the practice of law. He ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic candidate for Delegate to United States Congress from the New Mexico Territory in 1890, 1900, and 1908.

In 1911, Larrazolo changed his political affiliations to Republican after the State Convention of the Democratic Party denied his request that half of all statewide nominees be Hispanic to represent the 60 percent of the population of New Mexico that was Hispanic. He was elected

in 1918, becoming the second Hispanic to serve in this role since the territory became a state in 1912.

During Larrazolo's governorship, tax reform measures were sanctioned and a state board of health was established.

Improvements were also initiated to assist New Mexico's Latino population. Larrazolo advocated for bilingual education and supported the civil rights of Mexican immigrants in the state. He was also a supporter of the women's suffrage amendment to the United States constitution.

After serving two years as Governor, Larrazolo was elected to the New Mexico House of Representatives in 1927 and 1928. After Senator Andrieus A. Jones died in 1928, Larrazolo ran for the remaining six months of the term. He won, and became the first Hispanic elected to the United States Senate. Larrazolo did not seek reelection due to illness.

The latest treatments for fighting the devastating disease

ver the past 30 years the numO ber of Americans diagnosed with diabetes has skyrocketed, from

about 6 million in 1980 to almost 19 million today. As this problem spirals out of control, researchers are racing to find new treatments for this devastating disease.

Recently, scientists at Newcastle University in England reported that a 600-calorie-a-day diet appeared to reverse type 2 diabetes in a small group of patients who had diabetes for less than four years. Seven patients out of 10 were still diabetesfree three months after they stopped the extreme eight-week diet, which consisted of meal-replacement drinks and three daily servings of starchy vegetables.

On the surgical front, a weight-loss surgery known as a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has proven surprisingly effective at reversing type 2 diabetes: 80 percent of patients undergo-

mentado estrepitosamente, pasando de alrededor de 6 millones en 1980 a casi 19 millones en la actualidad.

A medida que el problema se sale de control, los investigadores corren para encontrar nuevos tratamientos para esta devastadora enfermedad.

Hace poco, científicos de Newcastle University, en Inglaterra, informaron que, al parecer, una dieta de 600 calorías diarias revirtió la diabetes tipo 2 en un pequeño grupo de pacientes que padecieron diabetes por menos de cuatro años. Siete de 10 pacientes seguían sin diabetes tres meses después de detener la intensa dieta de ocho semanas, que consistió en bebidas sustitutas de alimentos y tres porciones diarias de verduras ricas en almidón.

En el plano quirúrgico, una cirugía para perder peso conocida como desvío gástrico Roux-en-Y demostró ser

sorprendentemente efectiva para revertir la diabetes tipo 2: el 80 % de los pacientes que se someten a esta cirugía —que consiste en crear una bolsa en la parte superior del estómago y conectarla directamente al intestino delgado— experimentan una drástica regresión de su diabetes. Estos resultados se ven apenas días después de la cirugía y antes de perder mucho peso.

Estos hallazgos han generado una oleada de investigaciones para tratar de entender cómo es que el desvío gástrico afecta la regulación del azúcar en la sangre. Si bien no está claro cómo trabaja exactamente, la mayoría de las teorías se centran en el antiguamente menospreciado papel del intestino delgado y el estómago como órganos endócrinos, o liberadores de hormonas. El desvío gástrico Roux-en-Y en particular parece alterar hormonas específicas que ayudan a regular la respuesta del organismo al azúcar.

able problem. If your fasting blood glucose level is above 100, the time to act is now.

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a large multicenter research study, has shown that overweight people with pre-diabetes can reduce their risk for diabetes by 58 percent if they lose just 5 to 7 percent of their body weight. Most important is getting 150 minutes of physical exercise each week: Physical exertion helps muscle cells better use glucose and can lead to weight loss, which can help ward off diabetes.

ing this surgery — which involves creating a pouch in the upper part of the stomach and attaching it farther down the small intestine — experience dramatic remission of their diabetes. These results are seen just days after surgery and before much weight loss occurs.

Such findings have led to a surge of research attempting to understand how gastric bypass affects the regulation of blood sugar. While it's unclear exactly how this works, most theories focus on the previously underappreciated role of the small intestine and stomach as endocrine, or hormone-releasing, organs. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in particular seems to alter specific hormones that help regulate the body's response to sugar.

Still, the last thing I would recommend is that people rely on extreme diets or radical stomach-rerouting surgeries to solve an often prevent-

eeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. It is best to wash your hands with soap and clean running water for 20 seconds. Need a timer? Imagine sing-

El Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP, Programa de Prevención de la Diabetes), un gran estudio multicéntrico de investigación, mostró que la gente con sobrepeso que tiene prediabetes puede reducir en un 58 % el riesgo de desarrollar diabetes si pierde sólo del 5 al 7 % de su peso corporal. Lo más importante es lograr hacer 150 minutos de actividad física cada semana: El esfuerzo físico ayuda a las células de los músculos a usar mejor la glucosa, y puede llevar a perder peso, lo que a su vez mantiene la diabetes a raya.

confused about what screening plan path to take. Here's some advice to help sort through the confusion Understanding your risk Bottom line, every woman should take a proactive role in knowing and understanding their risk for breast cancer. “Unfortunately, three out of four women I diagnose with breast cancer have no risk factors,” Sedgwick said.

It is important to note the revised guidelines said women between the ages of 40 – 44 have the choice to start annual mammograms if they wish to do so.

Those known risk factors include: • Women with a strong family history – first degree relative such as a mother, daughter, sister • Known genetic mutation such as the BRCA gene • Previous breast biopsy or abnormal mammogram • Early menstrual cycle (starting at 11 years or younger) • Being overweight • Having a dense breast tissue on mammogram It has been shown that women who have dense tissue on their mammograms are at least four times more

not know if she was at increased risk of developing breast cancer.

A link to the new guidelines, announced by the American Cancer Society yesterday, can be found online here. The group calls for screening to start at age 45 for average risk women and continue annually through age 55. Patients may choose to have an annual exam or every other year after age 55. Women should continue to have mammograms as long as they are in good health.

Women with a family history should start screening 10 years younger than the diagnosis age of the first relative.

For example, if mother was diagnosed at 40, daughter should begin at age 30.

The younger women issue Younger women are still diagnosed with breast cancer, which is a constant source of confusion surrounding screening guidelines. It’s important to know the facts. Most women who are diagnosed are postmenopausal, But about 25 to 30 percent of women are diagnosed below the age of 50 which is a significant number of women.

Diabetes

iabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use it effectively.

When this occurs, several bodily organs can be affected and have an onset of complications such as eye disease, kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Kidneys function well when the tiny filters inside of them keep blood proteins inside your body. High blood glucose and high blood pressure can damage the kidney filters causing them to stop filtering which allows proteins to leak out of the kidney into the urine. Once this happens, the damaged kidney can no longer filter out wastes and extra fluids causing them to build up in your blood instead of exciting your body.

P

To avoid kidney complications caused by diabetes, maintain a healthy lifestyle by testing your blood sugar levels regularly, maintain a blood pressure no higher than 130/80, manage a healthy eating diet, have your DR. VILLA urine checked for albumin, avoid taking too much aspirin or acetaminophen, maintain physically active, control your weight, and take medications as prescribed.

Cuando los niveles altos de la azúcar en la sangre y la presión arterial están altos, pueden dañar estos filtros, dañando los riñones causando que no puedan limpiar adecuadamente los materiales de desecho y el exceso de líquido. Por lo tanto estos materiales se acumulan en la sangre en vez de salir del cuerpo por la orina. Para prevenir problemas de

Even though sometimes some can get on my last nerve and upset me, they end up making me laugh, and remind me how loved I am. Sadly, young people around my age do not know how important it is to have your family around you especially since some people do not even have

In a family, you have people that care about you and that want to know how you’re doing which is how most of my family is. Having your familia is very important and you may not always think about it, but when you do, you know that there are people who care for you.

I don’t always think about the importance of family until I’m around them and I feel cared about and know that I’m important to them and they are to me too.

Rufus Martinez served in the Korean War. He shared that he is married to Griselda and they have two daughters, Olga and Norma; four grand kids, and two great-grand kids. He added that his grandson, Marcus Ramirez also was a veteran of the Iraq war.

Martinez added that the trip was outstanding, “Seeing all the monuments, visiting the Capital, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We saw a changing of the honor guard and our South Plain honor flight placed the wreath in honor of the unknowns.”

When they played Tops he said he became emotional with pride.

This was part of the South Plains Honor Flight.

Among the veterans were four Latino Americans including: George Trevino, who served in Korea; and, J L Castro, who served in WW II War. The veterans completed the threeday, all-expenses-paid trip funded by the generous donations of thousands of South Plains residents and businesses.

Manuel Peña of Abilene, TX, is an Army veteran who fought in the Korean War. He was excited to be a part of the flight.

For Thomas Esparza, a WW II veteran from Levelland, the experience was symbolic on many levels. A month prior to the Honor Flight departure, his wife, Hilda, had died. He said the tip was for her.

He had served in the Army. And after 70 years, he was now returning to see the area between Ft. Mead (between D.C. and Baltimore) where he was had been stationed.

Soldier for Life

A

Our Heroes Veteran” reception sponsored by Latino Lubbock Magazine and Standard Sales, veterans were asked to stand if they had served during any of the listed wars fought

by American troops.

First, was a call for World War II veterans, only one stood. Then, the Korean War, and a few stood.

The Vietnam War was called, and a large number stood. And as each additional war was named, veterans stood proudly for their service.

All were significant, but one was noticeable as he remained standing for many wars including and past Vietnam.

Guadalupe “Lupe” Carrillo had been drafted in 1970, right after his 18th birthday in March. At the time, he was a senior in high school. As such, he wrote the government a letter letting them know he was still in school and would be graduating in May. He was in discussions with his school counselor about going to college. Unfortunately his draft lottery number was 33.

“I was way up there so I didn’t have a choice,” he said, sharing that the government placed him in the U.S. Army.

“Upon graduating, a week later on June 6, I went for my physical in Amarillo. After that I was sent home for 30 days…Uncle Sam was pointing at me “I Want You.” He actually left Lubbock to basic training in Ft. Ord California 90 days later, in the Monterey area of California. After 16 weeks of training

“I was what they called a part of the New Valor Army,” he said that they (the Drill Instructors) could not touch you – just yell at you. They couldn’t use derogatory words and comments.

He said that it was tough, “I felt like I was a teenager taken away from civilian life, with $112 a month… it felt like I was being grounded.”

Unlike other young people spending their money on stuff, he was committed to the training camp, but when he had free weekends he would use his money to fly home for a $60 round ticket.

November/noviembre 2015, Vol. 9, Issue 11

He recalled when he learned to fire the M1 rifle, and then transitioning to an M-16.

After his Military Occupational Skill (MOS) training in transportation, which he had done at Reese Air Force Base as a 17 year-old-civilian a job he had gotten through a school program.

He went through extensive military driver training.

His superiors would ask him, “Who’s your co-pilot, who’s your driver?” His response would be, “I’m the co-pilot, and God is my driver.”

“What I found in the Army of you do well, they treat you good.” Always on time, did what I was told, He served as a postman for Ft. Ord, and then after that – they put him to drive the new recruits.

He was a PVT (Private), and he was in charge of the trucks.

He came home for Easter taking leave, then went to White Sands, NM where he was stationed, once again as a driver. He hauled missiles, to recruits.

“I just picked up and delivered in my fancy uniform – clean and starched, his shiny shoes, eating at the mess halls.” His brothers Tony and Joe were also in the military and said they didn’t have it that good.

In July 71, the Army started sending him to Jungle Training in Ft. Bliss in El Paso, Texas. After that, he got orders to go to Vietnam, and was sent to Camron Bay October 1971.

“They said it was pretty calm, but when we got there at 5 a.m. Camron Bay had just got hit.”

In single file they went to the reception station. “It’s a war zone and you are following the person in front of you,” he chuckled expressing that he thought it was ironic as they became easy targets.

He felt there was a lot of irony in that war. They were briefed that there were no weapons for them.

To be nice to the Vietnamese. They didn’t speak the language but were instructed to be nice. Prior to arriving they were supposed to have a book of the language – but the Army was out of the book.

He was then shipped to South Vietnam to Long Bihn. His assignment was in the 173rd Airborne Division in the supply and support area in transportation. He was assigned a truck and became the “Mortuary Man,” which was to pick up bodies of the dead American soldiers and take them to the mortuary.

For Lupe, it was a time of harsh reality, explaining that fellow colleagues would stay high just to handle the emotional turmoil of Vietnam. He added he tried to stay Copyright 2015 by Latino Lubbock Magazine.

focused on his duty and do what he was supposed to do.

“Do not be afraid, step up to the plate,” he used to tell himself. “It was emotional, but I had to make myself strong. I was worried to make sure that each soldier returned to their family and that there were no mistakes.”

Later he was moved to “beans and bullets” where they delivered food to the soldiers. He said that they were in constant danger and vulnerable to fall into the enemy hands.

After that in 1972, he helped to train new soldiers. Finally, he returned to the United States at the age of 20, and continued his service in the Army but was given an Early Out. “I had been serving my country, since I was a teenager, I returned at 20, and wasn’t even of age to drink a beer,’” he said jokingly.

In the moment of humor, Lupe also recalled the mistreatment by the public when they returned, and the hurtful names they were called.

Nevertheless, Lupe was now on Standby Reserves. When he returned home he started college at South Plains. He got married in 1974, and begin to work at Furrs Supermarket.

The Army started requesting that he make up time, responding to them that he had Honorable Discharge. As such, he was instructed to go to the Army Reserves or National Guard. So in 1977, he went to work at the National Guard Armory in Lubbock, Texas.

From Oct. 1971 to April 1972 he served in the Vietnam War. He

served in Bosnia in the Bosnian War in Sergovia in 1998 He even learned to speak Bosnian. He went through training for the Persian Gulf War, also known as the 100 Day War; after Sept. 11th, he was called to serve in Noble Freedom, which was changed to the Enduring Freedom War. He served in Guantanamo Bay from 2001 to 2002.

In 2005, he went to Iraqi Freedom War. In 2008-09, he was called back but due to his health and the fact that he would turn 60 years-old, he didn’t get to serve in the Afghan Freedom War. For almost his entire adult life Lupe continued to serve his country. He decided to retire in 2009, with the rank of Master Sargent, and with 32 years of service in the military.

Although he has never referred to as a hero, he is recognized by many for his 32 years of dedicated years of military service, and his 22 years of civil service.

Currently he is involved in the Catholic War Veterans, and is also a proud member of the Knights of Columbus. He presents the flag to families who have lost a vet in English and Spanish and says he does it with pride.

“I'll forever be proud to be an American Soldier.”

Home Insurance Postal Service Releases Prices Rise in Texas 2015 Holiday Shipping

exas is the third most expensive T state for homeowner’s insurance, with annual

premiums averaging out to be $1,745 a year, and costs are expected to climb even higher.

According to the Texas Department of Insurance, the average premium price for a homeowner’s insurance policy jumped more than 26 percent from 2010 to 2014. At $1,745 a year, only Florida and Louisiana rank higher than Texas.

“There is a good chance that your rates may have gone up because of all the other damage,” said Mark Hanna, spokesperson for the Insurance Council of Texas. “Texas is just a violent state when it comes to weather. We literally have just about all of the different catastrophes that could occur,” said Hanna.

From droughts and wildfires to severe storms that bring strong wind, hail and flood waters—Texas weather swings from one extreme to the next.

“Hail, rain, floods, we get a lot— no question,” said Richard Powell.

Powell has lived at his home in Austin for 15 years and so far, he’s been lucky. His house hasn’t been hit by any bad weather. Powell hasn’t had any major damages to report claims, but that hasn’t stopped his rates from going up.

“I don’t think that we’ve had a 26 percent increase in insurance disasters,” Powell said, A report from the Texas Department of Insurance shows that in just the first half of 2015, insurance companies in Texas sent out nearly $1.8 billion in direct losses to home-

owners.

“Any single weather event does not directly impact our insurance rates,” said Jerry Hagins, with the Texas Department of Insurance.

The TDI must review any increase to premium prices and Hagins said insurance companies look back at 10-20 years determine the average of insured losses. Insurance companies build the average cost of disasters and the possible costs of future disasters into premium prices. Hagins said that Texas sees a lot of perils and that the weather events tend to even out over time.

For the best rates, Hagins said people should review their policies every year. “It does pay to shop around, just because you’ve had the same insurance company for a long time doesn’t mean you have to stick with it,” Hagins said.

Studies suggest that the longer a customer sticks with the same policy, the more likely it is that the customer is overpaying for homeowner’s insurance.

Hagins said premium rates are climbing all across the country, and the prices in Texas are climbing at a slower pace than most other states.

“This year has just been a lot rougher than others,” Hanna said.

“It puts pressure on the raising of the rates of insurance.”

Hanna said it’s hard to predict what prices will look like next year, but he also recommends people shop around because the state's competitive market can help prevent another big jump in premium prices.

Don Quixote: 400th Anniversary Edition D

JASON ALDEAN IS WEST TEXAS HOT: Wearing a blue button down shirt and ripped blue jeans, along with his signature cowboy hat, of course, Jason opened up his performance on a dark stage, before lighting things up once he hit the more upbeat chorus of the tune. He brought West Texas fans to their feet and dancing in their seats as he perforemed his headliner hits. The award winning artist was nominated for Video Of The Year and Male Video Of The Year for his song “Burnin’ It Down” during the CMT Awards.

At the United Spirit Arena he was definitely worthy of any accolades as his performance was electrical! (Photo by Minnie Sanchez/LLM).

Miguel de Cervantes’s epic novel, turns 400

on Quixote of La Mancha has been called the most popular book in history after the Bible and the first modern novel. One might even say that this tragi-comic work is far more than a novel: It is a manual for life, with lessons on how to love, dream, age, and be a friend. It encourages engagement with the essential questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my responsibility toward others? What is the meaning of being mortal?

Furthermore, it is a book about books, about the act—and art—of reading, and about the imagination as the engine that makes us move.

In an unnamed village in La Mancha, Spain, a nobleman named Alonso Quijano, after becoming completely consumed by the countless novels on chivalry he reads, reimagines himself as the valiant Don Quixote, and the knight and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, set off on a series of misadventures,

battling fictitious enemies for the sake of gallantry.

In the words of scholar Ilan Stavans, Don Quixote is fluid, inexhaustible, and magical.

For the four-hundredth anniversary of its publication and its author’s death, Restless Books releases a beautiful new edition of this timeless work with a brandnew introduction from Stavans, astounding original illustrations by the artist Eko, and wealth of linked multimedia material to help introduce you to the classic’s inner workings.

The Restless Classics edition of Don Quixote comes with a corresponding series of eight teaching videos and four online book group discussions led by Ilan Stavans.

Once you have the book in hand,

you'll see a set of instructions on the first page, which will direct you to look for a symbol that appears eight times throughout the book, signaling a corresponding video.

The instructions will also list a website where, after entering your information, you'll be able to access the videos and get the details about the four live online book club discussions that will take place in the months following publication.

Once released, all videos will remain live for later viewing. All book group discussions will be archived and will remain accessible as well.

The book will be out in November.

guntaba esto en dias anteriores. Poco a poco he empezado a entender más.

Hace catorce años que mi papa murió y hay días que pienso de él y a veces veo un señor en la tienda y pienso que es él. El ultimo día de agosto, perdimos otra ser querida en nuestra familia, una ramita del “arbol de vida” de la familia Montez. Mi sobrinita de trece meces se pasó a ser una angelita. Era una niña tan hermosa y tan cari-

ñosa. Fue un accidente y pienso, “ ¿Que podriamos ver hecho diferente esa tarde?” para que este accidente no hubiera ocurrido. Por días y semanas me preguntaba y no podia responder a esta pregunta. Por fin, me di cuenta que la respuesta era - “nada”.

Mi fe y mi religión me hizieron comprender que así lo quizo Dios y que esta niña llamada Anniylah era sólo un regalo que tuvimos por ese corto tiempo. En los pocos meses que la tuvimos, nos trajo tanto amor y gusto. El día del accidente, esta

criatura de Dios unío todo el pueblo de Levelland en oraciones (amigos y conocidos se arrollidarón) y lleno la Iglesia de San Miguel en dia no domingo. Dios puso esta criatura en este mundo para enseñarnos y acordarnos que no sabemos cuando se nos llegará la hora, pueda ser que viviremos 79 años como mi papa o solo un año y un mes como la niña.

Anniylah no estuvo mucho tiempo con nosotros para decirnos que queria ser en su vida, pero ahora confiamos que está feliz y trayendo alegría a otros angelitos. Su misión se cumplio.

Día de los Muertos.

She would put out the dead's favorite beverage and fruit in their honor.

This month, I pay homage to all the older Veterans from the barrio during Veteran’s Month, and for Día de los Muertos. It was because of veterans like them that we have many freedoms including our right to vote.

Even though they were not from the barrio these three very distinct veterans played an important role in my life, and they were from an area that I loved and still visit whenever I can.

My three uncles served in WWII at the same time only at different places. My tío Juan Pina

served in the Navy during WWII, he would tell me stories as to when their ship was torpedoed, and how he survived by praying to the Virgen de Guadalupe, and thinking about his mother.

He was later picked up by a destroyer and he went on to complete his tour. My tío Arturo, was assigned to a unit that fought on Corrigador Island. He would really never talk about what he did or saw. Last but not least my tío Gregorio, he server in Normandy, as an Infantry man. My tíos all had different decorations they earned but they really never liked to talk to anybody and everybody found it odd that that they would talk and share their stories with me. They would always tell me you understand what we did and

The 33: The Story of the 2010 Chilean Mine Disaster

n 2010, the eyes of the world I turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the

catastrophic explosion and collapse of a 100-year-old gold and copper mine. Over the next 69 days, an international team worked night and day in a desperate attempt to rescue the trapped men as their families and friends, as well as millions of people globally, waited and watched anxiously for any sign of hope. But 200 stories beneath the surface, in the suffocating heat and with tensions rising, provisions—and time— were quickly running out. A story of resilience, personal transformation and triumph of the human spirit, the film takes us to the Earth’s darkest depths, revealing the psyches of the men trapped in the mine, and depicting the courage of both the miners and their families who refused to give up. Based on the gripping true story of survival—and filmed with the cooperation of the miners, their families and their rescuers—“The 33” reveals the neverbefore-seen actual events that unfolded, above and below ground, which became nothing less than a

worldwide phenomenon.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Alcon Entertainment debuted The 33 trailer.

Directed by Patricia Riggen (Girl in Progress, Under the Same Moon), the suspenseful drama stars an international award-winning ensemble cast, including Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche, Mario Casas, Lou Diamond Phillips, Rodrigo Santoro, Gabriel Byrne and James Brolin. The film will be released domestically on November 13.

Academy Award nominated producer Mike Medavoy (Black Swan, Shutter Island), who lived in Chile for 10 years, developed the project in cooperation with the miners, their families and rescuers, and produced the film with Robert Katz (Crash, Seabiscuit) and Edward McGurn.

The 33 tells the real life story of the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped more than 200 stories underground enduring 100 degrees Fahrenheit beneath a megaton boulder twice the size of the Empire State Building following the collapse of the San Jose copper and gold mine. The film, which is a

never before seen look at what happened deep inside that mine and chronicles the disaster, the heroic efforts to reach the miners, and the subsequent successful rescue of all 33 men. The film, which was shot in real working mines in Colombia and Chile, recounts some of the emotional personal stories behind the gripping incident and also features several of the real news reporters from around the world who captured the actual event. The rescue became a global broadcast news event that captivated the attention of over 1 billion people worldwide. The 33 miners’ ordeal represents the longest underground survival story in history.

Mikko Alanne, Craig Borten (Dallas Buyers Club) and Michael Thomas (The Devil’s Double) penned the script based on the screen story by Jose Rivera and the critically-acclaimed book Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar, the former Los Angeles Times bureau chief in Argentina and Mexico. The book has been nominated for a National Book Critics Circle award.

The release date is Nov. 13, 2015.

Have you ever taken the time to study and examined the Commandment to see what God demands of us? There's one law that was written by God, "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS." They are written for our sake to remind us that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

"FOURTH COMMANDMENT" REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY" Exodus 20:8-11; “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For

min six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

Exodus 31:18,13,15; And He gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tablets of testimony, tablets of stone, WRITTEN WITH THE FINGER OF GOD. “Verily my Sabbath you shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations.

Six days may work be done; BUT the SEVENTH IS THE SABBATH OF REST HOLY TO THE LORD....." "God I pray that you will give us spiritual wisdom and Godly- understanding through thy word amen."

Community Service

Making a Difference with Every Stitch Feed a Friend – It’s as Easy Matts to be shared with the homeless

group of senior citizens proves A there is no age limit on providing a helping hand for the commu-

nity, by transforming plastic bags into mats for homeless people.

Anna Aguero started a class for seniors at Hillcrest Manor Senior Home in North Lubbock, to provide for the homeless community.

She began working with residents by folding, cutting, and crocheting thousand of plastic bags to turn them into useable items for the homeless.

Aguero said each mat requires 150 bags. Since the group started in April, the ladies have stitched together over 100 mats to donate to the Salvation Army.

"You help your neighbors, you

don't shun them. You help people in need," she said. Her goal is to make a difference, small or large, in the community. "Helping the homeless, and helping the needy. That is my favorite part of this, because I feel like I'm giving back to society.

I feel like there's a big, big need in the world, and if everybody would participate in giving back, I think this world would be a better world."

"It's nice to see when people use their talents to give back," said Shannon Sudduth, spokesperson for the Salvation Army. "We're going to use them to have people put them underneath their blankets and such to provide the extra support for them to lay on on the streets when they're out there during the cold.

"We get together, and we talk.

We eat, we laugh. This is a laughing group. We do not have sadness here," Aguero said. "I just wished that more people that lived here would get involved. That would be my biggest prize right there."

"This group is fabulous," said group member Louisa House. "We just do this to be out with people.

And enjoy each other."

House said her favorite part of gathering with the group, which meets three times weekly, is staying active. "That's the only way you're going to meet people, it's the only way you're going to learn about people, and you're going to run into some you like and some you do not like," she said with a chuckle. "Just like life anyway."

"Those mats will go to great use and we're really excited to be able to provide them to the homeless community," said Sudduth.

The ladies said they were grateful to the South Plains Lanes and the Salvation Army for supporting the project.

Once the temperatures drop to freezing, the group will join the Salvation Army in delivering the handmade mats to the folks in need.

They said they have no intentions of slowing down. They have set a new goal of 300 mats, hoping to do their part in helping their community.

MILITARY MASS HELD MONTHLY Saint John Neumann Church, 58022 22nd St., will hold a military Mass for loved ones, deceased or living, Saturday at 5:30 p.m.

The military Mass is held the last Saturday of each month.

Navy’s newest destroyer named after a Latino Marine eroes forged in Afghanistan time. Fellow Marines insisted they H and Iraq are having their saw the mortally wounded Peralta names bestowed on a new gen- reach for the grenade to protect his

eration of warships, joining those whose exploits in World Wars and battles domestic and abroad earned them the distinction of having U.S. Navy vessels christened in their honor.

More than a decade after U.S. boots hit the ground in the Middle East, two new destroyers bearing the names of Americans who died there are already in service.

A third, is named the USS Rafael Peralta, named for a Marine killed nearly 11 years ago in Iraq, will be LHS JR ROTC: Members of LHS Jr ROTC attended the "Honoring Heroes- That's christened Saturday at Bath Iron What Freedom Costs" dinner that honored New Mexico's own Medal of Honor Recipient, Works. Peralta was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for heroMaster Sergeant Leroy Petry. It was an inspiring event for the students. ism after he covered an insurgent's grenade with his body to protect his fellow Marines.

"His legacy will carry on," said Ricardo Peralta, who was inspired by his older brother to join the Marines and served in Afghanistan. "I feel like the USS Peralta holds the spirit of what my brother stood for, and that was for God, for his country, the United States, and for the Marine Corps."

The Peralta is one of four destroyers named for a serviceman who died in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Peralta’s story is of heroism on the battlefield and a battle to have his actions recognized by the DeEHS JR ROTC VOLUNTEERS: Members of the Estacado High School Jr. ROTC fense Department. Again the Stars volunteered at the South Plains Honor Flight farewell dinner. Their time was appreciated and Stripes: “Born in Mexico City,

by WWII veterans. (Photos top and bottom) Rafael Peralta came to the United States with his family, attended high school in San Diego and enlisted in the Marines on the same day he received his green card.

“The sergeant was nominated for the Medal of Honor — the nation's highest military honor — after Marines said he threw himself on a grenade after being shot and wounded on Nov. 15, 2004.

“But three defense secretaries rejected his nomination after questions about the incident arose, including the possibility of friendly fire, Marines embellishing their account or whether Peralta was conscious at the

comrades.

Peralta's family is certain he died a hero.

Ricardo Rafael has spoken to Marines who told him exactly what they witnessed.

"They're still alive today because of my brother," he said. RAFAEL PERALTA "I could care less about what any politician has to say."

Becoming the namesake for a 510foot destroyer has eased any lingering family bitterness. His mother, Rosa Peralta, crashed a bottle of Champagne on the ship's bow at the christening. She also presented his Navy Cross to the ship's skipper to be kept on board.

Cmdr. Brian Ribota said the ship's crew of 300 will strive to honor the legacy of a Marine who loved his country so much that he had only three things on his bedroom wall: The U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and his Marine boot camp certificate.

"He's the true American story of immigrating to the United States and loving this place so much that he sacrificed his life for all," Ribota said.

The Peralta is the first Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to be built at Bath Iron Works under a restart of a program the Navy once sought to end. The destroyers use powerful computer and phased-array radar equipment, called the Aegis Combat System, to simultaneously wage war with aircraft, missiles, submarines and surface warships.

After he died, the family received his personal items including a camera that contained the image of Peralta being baptized, battlefieldstyle, in a hole dug in the desert and surrounded by sandbags.

Radio Catolica Mundial November Prayer A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Eternal Father, please allow me to make a difference for good. I truly do want to have a life that impacts others for good and that brings you honor. I don't want to waste my time chasing after things that won't last and don't matter. Please give me the spiritual wisdom to follow your will and find your life rather than chasing the shadow values of my culture. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

With Mando Reyna

s hard as it is to believe, November is here and thankfully with it, a number of sports traditions.

Along with the crisp fall air comes the distinct sound of practice on hardwood floors because the basketball season is starting all around our high schools as the football regular season starts to wind down.

Coronado tips theirs off against Abilene High on the 7th, followed by a game against Odessa High a week later on the 14th. If you’re not able to travel to those away games you will have to wait until they begin their home stand against Randall on the 17th and Midland High on the 20th at the Coronado gym. As I was saying about tradition though, what really gets my attention and I want to mention it to you is the girls basketball tradition that also tips off this month.

What really should be noticed is the quantity of scrimmages and games both Monterey and Coronado squads will go thru this month. The Lady Mustangs have 2 scrimmages, one on the 3rd and the next one 4 days later when they travel to Plainview to face both Idalou and Plainview.

The rest of the month they have at least 8 games scheduled, I’m including tournaments in the count, with their biggest season building match ups coming on the weekend of the 12th thru the 14th when they travel

to the Frisco area where they’ll play in three different gyms in those three days. If you think those are a lot of games, take note that the Monterey girls also have 2 scrimmages, against Shallowater and Brownfield on the 4th and 7th, but they scheduled 12 games to complete their month. They will also participate in the Frisco tournament, and it would be nice for the area if they meet in those fi nal games. Another thing of note is that at least 11 of those games are at the visitor gyms before they play their fi rst home game on the 24th. Basketball has started, but if practice makes perfect, these two squads have a good base on which to build their seasons on. Meanwhile, the football tradition commences as Tech is on the verge of qualifying for a bowl, as they are at least 2 games away from breaking that recent drought. West Virginia at Morgantown looms on the 7th, followed by the last home game with Kansas State on the 14th, both of which are winnable depending on which offense shows up. The nationally televised game on the 26th against Texas Thanksgiving night will not only be widely watched, it will probably determine what caliber bowl both teams will be invited to.

It seems both teams will have New Years scheduled this year. The Dallas Cowboys head into the biggest Thanksgiving sports tradition of all when they play that night, but by that time it’ll be determined if the season can be salvaged as the return of Tony Romo should have already occurred. They do travel to Florida for

Tampa Bay and Miami, but every game needs to be treated as a must win for them from here on our quarterback situation or not. Thankfully for Dallas, all the other teams in the NFC East are struggling, so the season shouldn’t be that far out of reach if at all.

November does hold some special sports traditions for us, but the biggest tradition this month is the opportunity for us to be reminded how thankful we should be. Be thankful for your family, friends, our service members, even if they wear the other teams jerseys. Happy Thanksgiving.
