On the CoverEl Mundo-cuidalordquo

Design By Zachary Dominguez On this months cover is a popular Mexican loteriacutea icon El Mundo that we interpreted to promote Earth Day 2013 On the card every image has a name and an as-signed number but the number is usually ignored Un-like that thinking as a newspaper we urge our readers to recycle and not ignore our duty to care for the earth Our very own Share amp Care campaign urges readers to share their copy of Latino Lubbock Magazine and by doing so they are caring for our earth and ultimately recycling As such we hope that this cover inspires you to be more conscience and proactive about recycling Happy Earth Day 2013

The f ie rce to the bu l l r ing go the tame to the ca t t le pen Meaning that This characterizes Mexican defi ance He who fails to face life fi ercely is deemed dishon-

orable and is shamefully compared to a bull not worthy of the bullring

Spring time is a time for renewal and it brings the promise of refreshment Spring also hap-

pens to be one of my favorite seasons and the time when I refl ect on people whom I loved and whom have passedOne of those individuals was my grandfather Don

Juan Martinez He lived next door to me And dur-ing this season he would start preparing his yard - planting fl owers removing debris and scalping the lawn to allow for new grass to come inI remember the spring fl owers especially the Cro-

cus which was rare to see in other yards but when I saw them they confi rmed to me that Spring was here His yard was one of the most attractive on the block - he had patience vision and was committed

to hard work He would sit on the grass and would remove unwelcomed dandelions one by

one I would often sit with him and help As I worked alongside him we would talk He would share dichos old stories and discuss current events and even give unsolicited advice And through the discussions he would reference to God and credit Him for all good and also explain that even the obstacles in life were part of learningHe especially reaffi rmed why I had to always be fair just and true to my

convictions I didnt always understand I was young and naive however today those lessons make perfect sense - Become What You Were Created to BeThat said as Latinos we must become who we are intended to be In the past

weeks Ive seen political parties strategize how they will obtain our vote But thus far they have failed talking about minority outreach but not reaching out at allBottom line is that these political parties must spend more time in our Latino

neighborhoods with the respectful attentiveness we require and we deserveMembers of the House and Senate must also work together on a real solution

and not let politics get in the way of delivering the reform our broken immi-gration system needs The longer we wait the longer we subject families to painful separations and the longer we deny hardworking talented people and students from fully integrating and contributing to our economyAnd as they do so I hope that we will not see events or disappointments like

three years ago when our community was shocked by an Arizona law that harkened back to a darker time in our countryrsquos history Called SB 1070 it sanctioned racial profi ling in that state forced immigrants to carry ID cards and makes it a crime for an undocumented immigrant to even be in the state The law was a watershed moment for our community No longer were we de-bating about immigration policy we were fi ghting for our rights as citizens of the United States SB 1070 made every Latino in the state of Arizona a perceived criminal in the eyes of the law The bill was an outrage and millions of people took to the streets in protest Many Latinos fought SB 1070 in every way we knew how Advocate organizations fi led law suits and appealed to the Administration to block its implementation And they didTheres no doubt that our community has made some signifi cant progress over

the past years Itrsquos what happens when we stay united Itrsquos what happens when we keep the faith and refuse to retreat Itrsquos what happens when we stand up for what is right With people challenging the halls of power wersquove stayed the course and in

many ways we have prevailed But we still have much work to doLatinos have counted too long on others to be our champions We need to

be our own champions We have the tools We are a community of 50 million people and it is long past time we started acting like it Its our responsibility We must get involved in our communities and if necessary organize to assure a voice or a place at the table And if we are ever asked for our papers We will remind the politicians that

they will fi nd them in the ballot box on the next Election Day

Our April issue showcases agencies advocating for children as well as other subjects that can offer our families positive resources for improved quality of life Daily in Lubbock county an average of four children are victims of abuse and neglect We must Stand Up for Our Kids be Champions for them and not tolerate children being victims Finally a reminder that Latino Lubbock Magazine has moved to 2207

ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us So it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of [people] we are It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we fi nd liferdquoChaacutevez s signifi cance and im-

pact goes beyond any one cause or struggle The son of migrant labor-ers Chaacutevez led a nonviolent boycott against California grape growers pro-testing poor working conditions and the use of pesticides harmful to farm workers He is recognized for his non violent approach to handling adversi-ty and even fasted to call attention to the migrant workers cause Although his dramatic act did little to solve the immediate harms it increased public awareness of the problem The boy-cott was fi nally successful in winning new rights for workersHe continues to be remembered and

panic Leadership Agenda (NHLA) a coalition of thirty of the nations lead-ing Hispanic organizationsPerez who was endorsed by the

NHLA board currently serves as Assistant Attorney General for the

April is upon us and your racing mind with its busy schedule

may begin to lament---where did the first three months goHerersquos an alternative to that think-

ing April announces springtime and this is one of the ldquohappyrdquo sea-sons Flowers are blooming trees are turning green color is popping everywhere Itrsquos a time of new be-ginnings and thatrsquos one of the rea-sons April is traditionally the month we celebrate children So take a deep breath and resolve to make April a special month for your fam-ily At the YWCA we are so blessed

to be surrounded by children They keep us doing the bunny hop all year long They help us laugh They make us look at situations with fresh eyes Their unique creativity and joy inspire us Their unconditional love heals us and in tough situa-tions helps us keep putting one foot in front of the other For these reasons celebrating

children seems like one of the easi-est and most natural things anyone could do But the sad truth is there is another side of the story Some

children are not in happy situations In fact child abuse and neglect is one of the chief concerns fac-ing our community On average 4 children in Lubbock are the victims of abuse or neglect every day and the majority of these children are under the age of three There is something each of us can do about it however ldquoWear Bluerdquo on Thurs-

day April 4 2013 Simple No extra time out of your jammed pack day Just choose ldquobluerdquo from your wardrobe on this one day of the year Yoursquoll be sup-porting the Lubbock Coalition for Child Abuse Prevention (CCAP) and participating in our challenge to have at least 4000 Lubbock resi-dents wearing blue on behalf of the more than 1500 Lubbock children who become victims of child abuse and neglect each year By wearing blue and explaining why---you can help us raise awareness in our com-munity Thatrsquos the first step Notch up your support and email

Lubbock4for4yahoocom on or before April 4 and let the organizers know who you are and how many will be in your ldquoBlue Grouprdquo Lubbock has a reputation for meet-ing its goals---so letrsquos meet or beat this one Once we have awareness we can begin to find solutions and chip away at this tragic and preventable problemFind out more about

all the wonderful youth-serving agencies and faith-based organizations in Lubbock that are providing services to families Get involved or simply support them in their work for children and fami-lies Organizations like The Parent-ing Cottage Early Learning Cen-ters CASA Childrenrsquos Advocacy Center Boys and Girls Clubs Boy Scouts Girl Scouts Communities in Schools Big Brothers Big Sisters Family Guidance and Outreach and of course the YWCA--- along with so many others work with families to provide positive and affordable activities Each of these organiza-

tions has a place for volunteers par-ticipants and supportersFinally learn more Whatrsquos be-

hind the startling numbers of child abuse and neglect in our Lubbock area You might be surprised by the complexities that surround this troubling issue You might also be surprised by the number of positive actions we can take surrounding this difficult topic Actions as easy as wearing blue on a given Thurs-day or writing a letter in support of prevention programs can be simple in the scheme of a hectic schedule--- but monumental in the overall im-pact on the life of a child The power of working as a com-

munity is undeniable We are a Top 100 Community for Young People because Lubbock puts children and families as a critical priority Letrsquos lend our support this month to our most vulnerable children so that this time next year we can proudly proclaim---we saw a problem we tackled it we made a differenceGLENDA MATHIS is Executive Di-rector of the YWCA that for more than 50 years has been a champion for wom-en and families on the South Plains

As a bipartisan group of senators chips away at the remaining ob-

stacles to an immigration deal Presi-dent Barack Obama says he is opti-mistic that ndash if lawmakers release a draft bill early April ndash he will be able to sign comprehensive immigration reform into law before autumnldquoIf we have a bill introduced at the

beginning of next month -- as these senators indicate it will be -- then Im confident that we can get it done cer-tainly before the end of the summerrdquo Obama said in an interview with Tel-emundo last monthAlfonso Aguilar the Executive Di-

rector for the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles Democratic pollster Margie Omero and Nathan Gonzales the Deputy Editor of the Rothenberg Political Report and con-tributing writer for Roll call join The Daily Rundown to talk about immi-gration legislation The president repeated that he could

still introduce a White House-draft-ed version of the legislation if the ldquoGang of Eightrdquo Senate group is not able to put forward a bill But he said hersquos confident that lawmakers will be able to work out the final snags in the negotiations in time to unveil their proposal when they return from a

two-week Easter recessldquoIm optimis-

ticrdquo he said ldquo Ive always said that if I see a breakdown in the process that Ive got my own legislation Im prepared to step in But I dont think thats going to be necessary I think theres a commitment -- among this group of Democratic and Republican senators to get this donerdquoThe negotia-

tions have been

held up in part by continuing dis-putes between business and labor groups about the conditions of a guest-worker program particularly the wages and treatment ensured to temporary workers compared to those for American workers pursu-ing similar jobsBut the president said he doesnrsquot be-

lieve that the dispute could scuttle the whole reform frameworkldquoThere are still some areas about

hellip the future flow of guest workersrdquo he said ldquoLabor and businesses may not always agree exactly on how to do this But this is a resolvable issuerdquoWhite House Spokesman Josh Ear-

nest expresses optimism over the on-going negotiations of the Gang of 8 relating to immigration reformWhile he expressed optimism that

a final bill will contain a path to citizenship for those currently in the country illegally Obama would not offer specifics on how long the pro-cess of obtaining citizenship should takeAnd he declined to outline how the

security of the nationrsquos border should be assessed saying only that there should be no border security ldquotrig-gerrdquo that must be met before undocu-mented persons are eligible to begin the process of seeking legal statusldquoWe dont want to make this earned

pathway to citizenship a situation in which its put off further and fur-ther into the futurerdquo he said ldquoThere needs to be a certain path for how people can get legal in this country even as we also work on these strong border security issuesrdquoWhile the White House has de-

ferred to the Senate group on the leg-islative language the president has used the bully pulpit in recent days to urge lawmakers to action and remind the public of the general framework for reform that he supports ndash includ-ing a path to citizenshipIn addition to the Telemundo inter-

view he also sat down with Span-ish-language channel Univision on Wednesday Earlier this week the president urged Congress to show ldquopolitical couragerdquo on the issue dur-ing remarks at a naturalization cer-emony at the White House

bill creating the Charles Young Buf-falo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio during a ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House March 25 in Washington DC Last month Republican Sens John

McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona held a joint press conference with Democrats Chuck Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colo-rado The lawmakers traveled to Arizonarsquos southern border to survey the state of security there a tour that offered a very real illustration of the illegal immigration issue when they spotted a woman scaling a border fence (She was later apprehended by border security officers McCain said)At a press conference Schumer told

reporters there that negotiators are ldquo90 percent of the way thererdquo on a compromise bill adding that the trip offered a glimpse into what further resources are needed to ensure full border securityldquoWe learned about the great prog-

ress thatrsquos been maderdquo Schumer said ldquoItrsquos a lot better than it was 10 years ago but we also learned that we have more progress to go And in our im-migration bill we hope that we will make that progress along with many other goalsrdquoWhile the president is hopeful that

a bill will move quickly through the legislative process opponents say the negotiations deserve a longer ndash and more public ndash hearing Leading that charge Sen Jeff Ses-

sions of Alabama has accused Dem-ocratic Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of trying to ldquoram throughrdquo the bill with limited debate before the measure hits the Senate floorldquoThe massive proposal being cob-

bled together by a group of Sena-tors in secret must be independently judged and reviewed by the Judiciary Committee in the full light of dayrdquo Sessions said in a statement ldquoThat will take months mdash not two weeks mdash and will require hearings on every aspect of this issue

Councilman Hernandez Discovers Discrepancies in City Audit Process and Lack of Internal Controls

BY CHRISTY M A R T I N E Z -GARCIA

On March 27 Latino

Lubbock Maga-zine received a statement from the City of Lub-bock on behalf of Dist 1 Council-

man Victor Hernandez As a result of multiple inquiries and

open record requests made to the City of Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez stated that he had discovered multiple areas of concern as they relate to information pro-vided (or not provided) by the City of Lubbock to BKD (CPAs amp Advisors) during the audit process as well as the absence of internal controls as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez stated

After speaking to and exchanging multiple e-mails with BKD represen-tatives I discovered that the City of Lubbock did not notify BKD (in the client planning questionnaire) of the fact that hotelmotel taxes were not being paid or were delinquent to the City of Lubbock from a number of hoteliersmoteliers Furthermore I discovered that the City of Lubbock was lacking with regard to internal controlsNeither the Lubbock City Council

nor the Audit Committee has been

informed of all aspects of the audit currently being concludedCurrently BKD continues to solicit

information from the City of Lub-bock to determine whether or not any receivable [hotelmotel taxes or franchise fees] would be immaterial [or material] to the overall financial presentation thus requiring or not requiring that the 2012 audit approach be altered or the Comprehensive An-nual Financial Report (CAFR) be modified Also BKD continues to solicit information from the City of Lubbock concerning implemented controls and controls remaining to be implemented as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez continued

At this time based on the informa-tion I currently have I cannot vote in favor of Item 63 of this weeks agen-da which is a resolution accepting the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended September 30 2012 It is my hope that other Council members join me in referring this matter back to our Audit Committee in order that they be fully briefed on my findings It is also my hope that the entire Council be briefed by BKD prior to our vote on this issueAs a result the City of Lubbock

added a special council meeting on April 4th to their agenda largely to discuss recent complaints filed against District One Councilman Victor HernandezMayor Glen Robertson said the

citys Human Resources Department had informed him of three written complaints that have been filed by separate city employees The Mayor could not release the nature of the complaints and said they hadnt been investigated yet however he said these issues will be discussed at that meetingHernandez finds it interesting that

the special council meeting was called just hours after he released a statement criticizing the citys yearly financial audit Last year the city became aware

that it had not collected hotelmotel taxes on a number of properties in town Hernandez said In following Hernandezs state-

ment the Lubbock City Managers Office as well as LPampL also released statements LPampL statement read After meet-

ing with LPampLrsquos third party financial auditor this morning Electric Utility Board Chairman Gail Kring is issu-ing the following statementldquoWe just finished meeting with our

independent third party financial auditor BKD LLP They will issue LPampL a clean unqualified opinion for LPampLrsquos Annual Financial Audit for Fiscal Year 2012 This opinion follows their audit of LPampLrsquos financ-es and their special audit of LPampLrsquos procurementpurchasing procedures The auditors found no material weaknesses or significant deficien-cies In laymanrsquos terms this means a clean auditrdquo

Texas lawmakers moved forward

with a bill March 26 that would require wel-fare applicants to be screened for drug useThe bill authored by

State Senator Jane Nel-son the Republican chairwoman of the committee was approved by the state senatersquos Health and Human Services CommitteeIt would require applicants to the

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program to under-go screening by the Texas Health and Human Services CommissionUnder Nelsonrsquos bill applicants

who appear to use drug or have been convicted for drug use will be subjected to testing Ap-plicants who test positive for drugs would be

barred from receiving TANF funds for 12 monthsldquoDrug abuse destroys families

harms children and prevents individ-uals from living healthy independent livesrdquo Nelson said in a press release ldquoBecause TANF is a direct cash as-sistance program we have a respon-sibility to ensure that these funds are

not being used to support a personrsquos drug habitrdquoTexas Governor Rick Perry and Lt

Gov David Dewhurst have thrown their support behind the billldquoTexas taxpayers will not subsidize

or tolerate illegal drug abuserdquo Perry said in a statement in November ldquoEvery dollar that goes to someone who uses it inappropriately is a dollar that canrsquot go to a Texan who needs it for housing child care or medicinerdquoOne hundred thousand Texans a

year are enrolled in TANF accord-ing to Nelsonrsquos officeThe bill will go to the Texas House

of Representatives if it passes a vote in the full Senate

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

saving for your childs education and there are several options out there for doing so One of the most popular options is a 529 planAs for retirement take advantage

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

organ eye and tissue donors that save lives is an important part of our daily work April gives us a focused month to honor the lives of those who have given and received and it provides a perfect opportunity to renew our commitment to saving livesrdquo said Kevin Myer of Donate Life Texas Across the country more than

117000 men women and children wait for a lifesaving transplant and thousands more wait to life-restoring tissue donations In Texas more than 11000 residents wait for their second chance

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

En Aquellos Diashellipmos comerlos el viernes Eran las

noches que toda la carne tenia otro sabor mucho mas mejor

Nos poniamos a ver a Wolf-man Jack en un programa de musica en la television o otro programa de baile Me

acuerdo que mi papaacute cada rato nos decia que nos durmieramos

pero estabamos esperando que mis hermanas salieran del trabajo Lle-gandose un minuto despues de me-dia nochehellipa cenar pizza yo ham-burgesas iexclQue cosa cuando uno esta joven todo es tan faciacutel y censioEditors Note Rosario Montez Smith grew up en un rancho and enjoys sharing her memories of living in rural West Texas

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

ish priest who moved up the ranks Hes a member of the Jesuit order -- a fiercely independent branch of the Church devoted to running teaching institutions and social pro-grams Yet until now his conser-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Spring time is a time for renewal and it brings the promise of refreshment Spring also hap-

pens to be one of my favorite seasons and the time when I refl ect on people whom I loved and whom have passedOne of those individuals was my grandfather Don

Juan Martinez He lived next door to me And dur-ing this season he would start preparing his yard - planting fl owers removing debris and scalping the lawn to allow for new grass to come inI remember the spring fl owers especially the Cro-

cus which was rare to see in other yards but when I saw them they confi rmed to me that Spring was here His yard was one of the most attractive on the block - he had patience vision and was committed

to hard work He would sit on the grass and would remove unwelcomed dandelions one by

one I would often sit with him and help As I worked alongside him we would talk He would share dichos old stories and discuss current events and even give unsolicited advice And through the discussions he would reference to God and credit Him for all good and also explain that even the obstacles in life were part of learningHe especially reaffi rmed why I had to always be fair just and true to my

convictions I didnt always understand I was young and naive however today those lessons make perfect sense - Become What You Were Created to BeThat said as Latinos we must become who we are intended to be In the past

weeks Ive seen political parties strategize how they will obtain our vote But thus far they have failed talking about minority outreach but not reaching out at allBottom line is that these political parties must spend more time in our Latino

neighborhoods with the respectful attentiveness we require and we deserveMembers of the House and Senate must also work together on a real solution

and not let politics get in the way of delivering the reform our broken immi-gration system needs The longer we wait the longer we subject families to painful separations and the longer we deny hardworking talented people and students from fully integrating and contributing to our economyAnd as they do so I hope that we will not see events or disappointments like

three years ago when our community was shocked by an Arizona law that harkened back to a darker time in our countryrsquos history Called SB 1070 it sanctioned racial profi ling in that state forced immigrants to carry ID cards and makes it a crime for an undocumented immigrant to even be in the state The law was a watershed moment for our community No longer were we de-bating about immigration policy we were fi ghting for our rights as citizens of the United States SB 1070 made every Latino in the state of Arizona a perceived criminal in the eyes of the law The bill was an outrage and millions of people took to the streets in protest Many Latinos fought SB 1070 in every way we knew how Advocate organizations fi led law suits and appealed to the Administration to block its implementation And they didTheres no doubt that our community has made some signifi cant progress over

the past years Itrsquos what happens when we stay united Itrsquos what happens when we keep the faith and refuse to retreat Itrsquos what happens when we stand up for what is right With people challenging the halls of power wersquove stayed the course and in

many ways we have prevailed But we still have much work to doLatinos have counted too long on others to be our champions We need to

be our own champions We have the tools We are a community of 50 million people and it is long past time we started acting like it Its our responsibility We must get involved in our communities and if necessary organize to assure a voice or a place at the table And if we are ever asked for our papers We will remind the politicians that

they will fi nd them in the ballot box on the next Election Day

Our April issue showcases agencies advocating for children as well as other subjects that can offer our families positive resources for improved quality of life Daily in Lubbock county an average of four children are victims of abuse and neglect We must Stand Up for Our Kids be Champions for them and not tolerate children being victims Finally a reminder that Latino Lubbock Magazine has moved to 2207

University We hope you can join us for a blessing on April 12 at 10 am at 2207 University There is plenty of parkingComo siempre Latino Lubbock is committed to highlighting the numerous

contributions of our Latino community We are grateful to have 100000 read-ers monthly as well as thousands of social media followers We ask that you 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 iexclGra-cias por su apoyo Que dios los bendiga PEACE and random acts of kindness Que las bendiciones de dios esteacuten contigo ahora y siempre

April is upon us and your racing mind with its busy schedule

may begin to lament---where did the first three months goHerersquos an alternative to that think-

ing April announces springtime and this is one of the ldquohappyrdquo sea-sons Flowers are blooming trees are turning green color is popping everywhere Itrsquos a time of new be-ginnings and thatrsquos one of the rea-sons April is traditionally the month we celebrate children So take a deep breath and resolve to make April a special month for your fam-ily At the YWCA we are so blessed

to be surrounded by children They keep us doing the bunny hop all year long They help us laugh They make us look at situations with fresh eyes Their unique creativity and joy inspire us Their unconditional love heals us and in tough situa-tions helps us keep putting one foot in front of the other For these reasons celebrating

children seems like one of the easi-est and most natural things anyone could do But the sad truth is there is another side of the story Some

children are not in happy situations In fact child abuse and neglect is one of the chief concerns fac-ing our community On average 4 children in Lubbock are the victims of abuse or neglect every day and the majority of these children are under the age of three There is something each of us can do about it however ldquoWear Bluerdquo on Thurs-

day April 4 2013 Simple No extra time out of your jammed pack day Just choose ldquobluerdquo from your wardrobe on this one day of the year Yoursquoll be sup-porting the Lubbock Coalition for Child Abuse Prevention (CCAP) and participating in our challenge to have at least 4000 Lubbock resi-dents wearing blue on behalf of the more than 1500 Lubbock children who become victims of child abuse and neglect each year By wearing blue and explaining why---you can help us raise awareness in our com-munity Thatrsquos the first step Notch up your support and email

Lubbock4for4yahoocom on or before April 4 and let the organizers know who you are and how many will be in your ldquoBlue Grouprdquo Lubbock has a reputation for meet-ing its goals---so letrsquos meet or beat this one Once we have awareness we can begin to find solutions and chip away at this tragic and preventable problemFind out more about

all the wonderful youth-serving agencies and faith-based organizations in Lubbock that are providing services to families Get involved or simply support them in their work for children and fami-lies Organizations like The Parent-ing Cottage Early Learning Cen-ters CASA Childrenrsquos Advocacy Center Boys and Girls Clubs Boy Scouts Girl Scouts Communities in Schools Big Brothers Big Sisters Family Guidance and Outreach and of course the YWCA--- along with so many others work with families to provide positive and affordable activities Each of these organiza-

tions has a place for volunteers par-ticipants and supportersFinally learn more Whatrsquos be-

hind the startling numbers of child abuse and neglect in our Lubbock area You might be surprised by the complexities that surround this troubling issue You might also be surprised by the number of positive actions we can take surrounding this difficult topic Actions as easy as wearing blue on a given Thurs-day or writing a letter in support of prevention programs can be simple in the scheme of a hectic schedule--- but monumental in the overall im-pact on the life of a child The power of working as a com-

munity is undeniable We are a Top 100 Community for Young People because Lubbock puts children and families as a critical priority Letrsquos lend our support this month to our most vulnerable children so that this time next year we can proudly proclaim---we saw a problem we tackled it we made a differenceGLENDA MATHIS is Executive Di-rector of the YWCA that for more than 50 years has been a champion for wom-en and families on the South Plains

As a bipartisan group of senators chips away at the remaining ob-

stacles to an immigration deal Presi-dent Barack Obama says he is opti-mistic that ndash if lawmakers release a draft bill early April ndash he will be able to sign comprehensive immigration reform into law before autumnldquoIf we have a bill introduced at the

beginning of next month -- as these senators indicate it will be -- then Im confident that we can get it done cer-tainly before the end of the summerrdquo Obama said in an interview with Tel-emundo last monthAlfonso Aguilar the Executive Di-

rector for the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles Democratic pollster Margie Omero and Nathan Gonzales the Deputy Editor of the Rothenberg Political Report and con-tributing writer for Roll call join The Daily Rundown to talk about immi-gration legislation The president repeated that he could

still introduce a White House-draft-ed version of the legislation if the ldquoGang of Eightrdquo Senate group is not able to put forward a bill But he said hersquos confident that lawmakers will be able to work out the final snags in the negotiations in time to unveil their proposal when they return from a

two-week Easter recessldquoIm optimis-

ticrdquo he said ldquo Ive always said that if I see a breakdown in the process that Ive got my own legislation Im prepared to step in But I dont think thats going to be necessary I think theres a commitment -- among this group of Democratic and Republican senators to get this donerdquoThe negotia-

tions have been

held up in part by continuing dis-putes between business and labor groups about the conditions of a guest-worker program particularly the wages and treatment ensured to temporary workers compared to those for American workers pursu-ing similar jobsBut the president said he doesnrsquot be-

lieve that the dispute could scuttle the whole reform frameworkldquoThere are still some areas about

hellip the future flow of guest workersrdquo he said ldquoLabor and businesses may not always agree exactly on how to do this But this is a resolvable issuerdquoWhite House Spokesman Josh Ear-

nest expresses optimism over the on-going negotiations of the Gang of 8 relating to immigration reformWhile he expressed optimism that

a final bill will contain a path to citizenship for those currently in the country illegally Obama would not offer specifics on how long the pro-cess of obtaining citizenship should takeAnd he declined to outline how the

security of the nationrsquos border should be assessed saying only that there should be no border security ldquotrig-gerrdquo that must be met before undocu-mented persons are eligible to begin the process of seeking legal statusldquoWe dont want to make this earned

pathway to citizenship a situation in which its put off further and fur-ther into the futurerdquo he said ldquoThere needs to be a certain path for how people can get legal in this country even as we also work on these strong border security issuesrdquoWhile the White House has de-

ferred to the Senate group on the leg-islative language the president has used the bully pulpit in recent days to urge lawmakers to action and remind the public of the general framework for reform that he supports ndash includ-ing a path to citizenshipIn addition to the Telemundo inter-

view he also sat down with Span-ish-language channel Univision on Wednesday Earlier this week the president urged Congress to show ldquopolitical couragerdquo on the issue dur-ing remarks at a naturalization cer-emony at the White House

President Obama Optimistic on Immigration Legislation

Senate negotiators say they are close to a final dealPresident Barack Obama signed a

bill creating the Charles Young Buf-falo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio during a ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House March 25 in Washington DC Last month Republican Sens John

McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona held a joint press conference with Democrats Chuck Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colo-rado The lawmakers traveled to Arizonarsquos southern border to survey the state of security there a tour that offered a very real illustration of the illegal immigration issue when they spotted a woman scaling a border fence (She was later apprehended by border security officers McCain said)At a press conference Schumer told

reporters there that negotiators are ldquo90 percent of the way thererdquo on a compromise bill adding that the trip offered a glimpse into what further resources are needed to ensure full border securityldquoWe learned about the great prog-

ress thatrsquos been maderdquo Schumer said ldquoItrsquos a lot better than it was 10 years ago but we also learned that we have more progress to go And in our im-migration bill we hope that we will make that progress along with many other goalsrdquoWhile the president is hopeful that

a bill will move quickly through the legislative process opponents say the negotiations deserve a longer ndash and more public ndash hearing Leading that charge Sen Jeff Ses-

sions of Alabama has accused Dem-ocratic Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of trying to ldquoram throughrdquo the bill with limited debate before the measure hits the Senate floorldquoThe massive proposal being cob-

bled together by a group of Sena-tors in secret must be independently judged and reviewed by the Judiciary Committee in the full light of dayrdquo Sessions said in a statement ldquoThat will take months mdash not two weeks mdash and will require hearings on every aspect of this issue

Councilman Hernandez Discovers Discrepancies in City Audit Process and Lack of Internal Controls

BY CHRISTY M A R T I N E Z -GARCIA

On March 27 Latino

Lubbock Maga-zine received a statement from the City of Lub-bock on behalf of Dist 1 Council-

man Victor Hernandez As a result of multiple inquiries and

open record requests made to the City of Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez stated that he had discovered multiple areas of concern as they relate to information pro-vided (or not provided) by the City of Lubbock to BKD (CPAs amp Advisors) during the audit process as well as the absence of internal controls as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez stated

After speaking to and exchanging multiple e-mails with BKD represen-tatives I discovered that the City of Lubbock did not notify BKD (in the client planning questionnaire) of the fact that hotelmotel taxes were not being paid or were delinquent to the City of Lubbock from a number of hoteliersmoteliers Furthermore I discovered that the City of Lubbock was lacking with regard to internal controlsNeither the Lubbock City Council

nor the Audit Committee has been

informed of all aspects of the audit currently being concludedCurrently BKD continues to solicit

information from the City of Lub-bock to determine whether or not any receivable [hotelmotel taxes or franchise fees] would be immaterial [or material] to the overall financial presentation thus requiring or not requiring that the 2012 audit approach be altered or the Comprehensive An-nual Financial Report (CAFR) be modified Also BKD continues to solicit information from the City of Lubbock concerning implemented controls and controls remaining to be implemented as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez continued

At this time based on the informa-tion I currently have I cannot vote in favor of Item 63 of this weeks agen-da which is a resolution accepting the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended September 30 2012 It is my hope that other Council members join me in referring this matter back to our Audit Committee in order that they be fully briefed on my findings It is also my hope that the entire Council be briefed by BKD prior to our vote on this issueAs a result the City of Lubbock

added a special council meeting on April 4th to their agenda largely to discuss recent complaints filed against District One Councilman Victor HernandezMayor Glen Robertson said the

citys Human Resources Department had informed him of three written complaints that have been filed by separate city employees The Mayor could not release the nature of the complaints and said they hadnt been investigated yet however he said these issues will be discussed at that meetingHernandez finds it interesting that

the special council meeting was called just hours after he released a statement criticizing the citys yearly financial audit Last year the city became aware

that it had not collected hotelmotel taxes on a number of properties in town Hernandez said In following Hernandezs state-

ment the Lubbock City Managers Office as well as LPampL also released statements LPampL statement read After meet-

ing with LPampLrsquos third party financial auditor this morning Electric Utility Board Chairman Gail Kring is issu-ing the following statementldquoWe just finished meeting with our

independent third party financial auditor BKD LLP They will issue LPampL a clean unqualified opinion for LPampLrsquos Annual Financial Audit for Fiscal Year 2012 This opinion follows their audit of LPampLrsquos financ-es and their special audit of LPampLrsquos procurementpurchasing procedures The auditors found no material weaknesses or significant deficien-cies In laymanrsquos terms this means a clean auditrdquo

Texas lawmakers moved forward

with a bill March 26 that would require wel-fare applicants to be screened for drug useThe bill authored by

State Senator Jane Nel-son the Republican chairwoman of the committee was approved by the state senatersquos Health and Human Services CommitteeIt would require applicants to the

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program to under-go screening by the Texas Health and Human Services CommissionUnder Nelsonrsquos bill applicants

who appear to use drug or have been convicted for drug use will be subjected to testing Ap-plicants who test positive for drugs would be

barred from receiving TANF funds for 12 monthsldquoDrug abuse destroys families

harms children and prevents individ-uals from living healthy independent livesrdquo Nelson said in a press release ldquoBecause TANF is a direct cash as-sistance program we have a respon-sibility to ensure that these funds are

not being used to support a personrsquos drug habitrdquoTexas Governor Rick Perry and Lt

Gov David Dewhurst have thrown their support behind the billldquoTexas taxpayers will not subsidize

or tolerate illegal drug abuserdquo Perry said in a statement in November ldquoEvery dollar that goes to someone who uses it inappropriately is a dollar that canrsquot go to a Texan who needs it for housing child care or medicinerdquoOne hundred thousand Texans a

year are enrolled in TANF accord-ing to Nelsonrsquos officeThe bill will go to the Texas House

of Representatives if it passes a vote in the full Senate

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

saving for your childs education and there are several options out there for doing so One of the most popular options is a 529 planAs for retirement take advantage

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

Volunteer Appreciation Week April 21-27 2013Am e r i c a s

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

traditions of involvement in volun-teer groups including trade and pro-fessional associations and womenrsquos

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

nization that shares similar interests to you Monthly Latino Lubbock Magazine showcases volunteer op-portunities If you are interested in serving

on boards volunteering or get-ting involved contact our office at (806)792-1212 or email us at latino-lubbocksuddenlinknet You can also like us on Facebook where we post opportunities regularlyAnd finally Happy Volunteer Ap-

117000 men women and children wait for a lifesaving transplant and thousands more wait to life-restoring tissue donations In Texas more than 11000 residents wait for their second chance

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

trenched Vatican bureaucracy widely believed to need a complete shake-up And now hes the boss For the tens of thousands who had waited in the cold Roman night to see the new pontiff that seemed like a good thingThe message of Pope Francis is

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Spring time is a time for renewal and it brings the promise of refreshment Spring also hap-

pens to be one of my favorite seasons and the time when I refl ect on people whom I loved and whom have passedOne of those individuals was my grandfather Don

Juan Martinez He lived next door to me And dur-ing this season he would start preparing his yard - planting fl owers removing debris and scalping the lawn to allow for new grass to come inI remember the spring fl owers especially the Cro-

cus which was rare to see in other yards but when I saw them they confi rmed to me that Spring was here His yard was one of the most attractive on the block - he had patience vision and was committed

to hard work He would sit on the grass and would remove unwelcomed dandelions one by

one I would often sit with him and help As I worked alongside him we would talk He would share dichos old stories and discuss current events and even give unsolicited advice And through the discussions he would reference to God and credit Him for all good and also explain that even the obstacles in life were part of learningHe especially reaffi rmed why I had to always be fair just and true to my

convictions I didnt always understand I was young and naive however today those lessons make perfect sense - Become What You Were Created to BeThat said as Latinos we must become who we are intended to be In the past

weeks Ive seen political parties strategize how they will obtain our vote But thus far they have failed talking about minority outreach but not reaching out at allBottom line is that these political parties must spend more time in our Latino

neighborhoods with the respectful attentiveness we require and we deserveMembers of the House and Senate must also work together on a real solution

and not let politics get in the way of delivering the reform our broken immi-gration system needs The longer we wait the longer we subject families to painful separations and the longer we deny hardworking talented people and students from fully integrating and contributing to our economyAnd as they do so I hope that we will not see events or disappointments like

three years ago when our community was shocked by an Arizona law that harkened back to a darker time in our countryrsquos history Called SB 1070 it sanctioned racial profi ling in that state forced immigrants to carry ID cards and makes it a crime for an undocumented immigrant to even be in the state The law was a watershed moment for our community No longer were we de-bating about immigration policy we were fi ghting for our rights as citizens of the United States SB 1070 made every Latino in the state of Arizona a perceived criminal in the eyes of the law The bill was an outrage and millions of people took to the streets in protest Many Latinos fought SB 1070 in every way we knew how Advocate organizations fi led law suits and appealed to the Administration to block its implementation And they didTheres no doubt that our community has made some signifi cant progress over

the past years Itrsquos what happens when we stay united Itrsquos what happens when we keep the faith and refuse to retreat Itrsquos what happens when we stand up for what is right With people challenging the halls of power wersquove stayed the course and in

many ways we have prevailed But we still have much work to doLatinos have counted too long on others to be our champions We need to

be our own champions We have the tools We are a community of 50 million people and it is long past time we started acting like it Its our responsibility We must get involved in our communities and if necessary organize to assure a voice or a place at the table And if we are ever asked for our papers We will remind the politicians that

they will fi nd them in the ballot box on the next Election Day

Our April issue showcases agencies advocating for children as well as other subjects that can offer our families positive resources for improved quality of life Daily in Lubbock county an average of four children are victims of abuse and neglect We must Stand Up for Our Kids be Champions for them and not tolerate children being victims Finally a reminder that Latino Lubbock Magazine has moved to 2207

Chaacutevez March 31 1927 and died April 23 1993 was a charismatic civil rights leader He served as a cru-sader for nonviolent social change working Persistently for human dig-nity ldquoWhen we are really honest with

ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us So it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of [people] we are It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we fi nd liferdquoChaacutevez s signifi cance and im-

pact goes beyond any one cause or struggle The son of migrant labor-ers Chaacutevez led a nonviolent boycott against California grape growers pro-testing poor working conditions and the use of pesticides harmful to farm workers He is recognized for his non violent approach to handling adversi-ty and even fasted to call attention to the migrant workers cause Although his dramatic act did little to solve the immediate harms it increased public awareness of the problem The boy-cott was fi nally successful in winning new rights for workersHe continues to be remembered and

honored for his commitment to peach and humanity and to farm workersFor more information about the

April is upon us and your racing mind with its busy schedule

may begin to lament---where did the first three months goHerersquos an alternative to that think-

ing April announces springtime and this is one of the ldquohappyrdquo sea-sons Flowers are blooming trees are turning green color is popping everywhere Itrsquos a time of new be-ginnings and thatrsquos one of the rea-sons April is traditionally the month we celebrate children So take a deep breath and resolve to make April a special month for your fam-ily At the YWCA we are so blessed

to be surrounded by children They keep us doing the bunny hop all year long They help us laugh They make us look at situations with fresh eyes Their unique creativity and joy inspire us Their unconditional love heals us and in tough situa-tions helps us keep putting one foot in front of the other For these reasons celebrating

children seems like one of the easi-est and most natural things anyone could do But the sad truth is there is another side of the story Some

children are not in happy situations In fact child abuse and neglect is one of the chief concerns fac-ing our community On average 4 children in Lubbock are the victims of abuse or neglect every day and the majority of these children are under the age of three There is something each of us can do about it however ldquoWear Bluerdquo on Thurs-

day April 4 2013 Simple No extra time out of your jammed pack day Just choose ldquobluerdquo from your wardrobe on this one day of the year Yoursquoll be sup-porting the Lubbock Coalition for Child Abuse Prevention (CCAP) and participating in our challenge to have at least 4000 Lubbock resi-dents wearing blue on behalf of the more than 1500 Lubbock children who become victims of child abuse and neglect each year By wearing blue and explaining why---you can help us raise awareness in our com-munity Thatrsquos the first step Notch up your support and email

Lubbock4for4yahoocom on or before April 4 and let the organizers know who you are and how many will be in your ldquoBlue Grouprdquo Lubbock has a reputation for meet-ing its goals---so letrsquos meet or beat this one Once we have awareness we can begin to find solutions and chip away at this tragic and preventable problemFind out more about

all the wonderful youth-serving agencies and faith-based organizations in Lubbock that are providing services to families Get involved or simply support them in their work for children and fami-lies Organizations like The Parent-ing Cottage Early Learning Cen-ters CASA Childrenrsquos Advocacy Center Boys and Girls Clubs Boy Scouts Girl Scouts Communities in Schools Big Brothers Big Sisters Family Guidance and Outreach and of course the YWCA--- along with so many others work with families to provide positive and affordable activities Each of these organiza-

tions has a place for volunteers par-ticipants and supportersFinally learn more Whatrsquos be-

hind the startling numbers of child abuse and neglect in our Lubbock area You might be surprised by the complexities that surround this troubling issue You might also be surprised by the number of positive actions we can take surrounding this difficult topic Actions as easy as wearing blue on a given Thurs-day or writing a letter in support of prevention programs can be simple in the scheme of a hectic schedule--- but monumental in the overall im-pact on the life of a child The power of working as a com-

munity is undeniable We are a Top 100 Community for Young People because Lubbock puts children and families as a critical priority Letrsquos lend our support this month to our most vulnerable children so that this time next year we can proudly proclaim---we saw a problem we tackled it we made a differenceGLENDA MATHIS is Executive Di-rector of the YWCA that for more than 50 years has been a champion for wom-en and families on the South Plains

As a bipartisan group of senators chips away at the remaining ob-

stacles to an immigration deal Presi-dent Barack Obama says he is opti-mistic that ndash if lawmakers release a draft bill early April ndash he will be able to sign comprehensive immigration reform into law before autumnldquoIf we have a bill introduced at the

beginning of next month -- as these senators indicate it will be -- then Im confident that we can get it done cer-tainly before the end of the summerrdquo Obama said in an interview with Tel-emundo last monthAlfonso Aguilar the Executive Di-

rector for the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles Democratic pollster Margie Omero and Nathan Gonzales the Deputy Editor of the Rothenberg Political Report and con-tributing writer for Roll call join The Daily Rundown to talk about immi-gration legislation The president repeated that he could

still introduce a White House-draft-ed version of the legislation if the ldquoGang of Eightrdquo Senate group is not able to put forward a bill But he said hersquos confident that lawmakers will be able to work out the final snags in the negotiations in time to unveil their proposal when they return from a

two-week Easter recessldquoIm optimis-

ticrdquo he said ldquo Ive always said that if I see a breakdown in the process that Ive got my own legislation Im prepared to step in But I dont think thats going to be necessary I think theres a commitment -- among this group of Democratic and Republican senators to get this donerdquoThe negotia-

tions have been

held up in part by continuing dis-putes between business and labor groups about the conditions of a guest-worker program particularly the wages and treatment ensured to temporary workers compared to those for American workers pursu-ing similar jobsBut the president said he doesnrsquot be-

lieve that the dispute could scuttle the whole reform frameworkldquoThere are still some areas about

hellip the future flow of guest workersrdquo he said ldquoLabor and businesses may not always agree exactly on how to do this But this is a resolvable issuerdquoWhite House Spokesman Josh Ear-

nest expresses optimism over the on-going negotiations of the Gang of 8 relating to immigration reformWhile he expressed optimism that

a final bill will contain a path to citizenship for those currently in the country illegally Obama would not offer specifics on how long the pro-cess of obtaining citizenship should takeAnd he declined to outline how the

security of the nationrsquos border should be assessed saying only that there should be no border security ldquotrig-gerrdquo that must be met before undocu-mented persons are eligible to begin the process of seeking legal statusldquoWe dont want to make this earned

pathway to citizenship a situation in which its put off further and fur-ther into the futurerdquo he said ldquoThere needs to be a certain path for how people can get legal in this country even as we also work on these strong border security issuesrdquoWhile the White House has de-

ferred to the Senate group on the leg-islative language the president has used the bully pulpit in recent days to urge lawmakers to action and remind the public of the general framework for reform that he supports ndash includ-ing a path to citizenshipIn addition to the Telemundo inter-

view he also sat down with Span-ish-language channel Univision on Wednesday Earlier this week the president urged Congress to show ldquopolitical couragerdquo on the issue dur-ing remarks at a naturalization cer-emony at the White House

President Obama Optimistic on Immigration Legislation

Senate negotiators say they are close to a final dealPresident Barack Obama signed a

bill creating the Charles Young Buf-falo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio during a ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House March 25 in Washington DC Last month Republican Sens John

McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona held a joint press conference with Democrats Chuck Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colo-rado The lawmakers traveled to Arizonarsquos southern border to survey the state of security there a tour that offered a very real illustration of the illegal immigration issue when they spotted a woman scaling a border fence (She was later apprehended by border security officers McCain said)At a press conference Schumer told

reporters there that negotiators are ldquo90 percent of the way thererdquo on a compromise bill adding that the trip offered a glimpse into what further resources are needed to ensure full border securityldquoWe learned about the great prog-

ress thatrsquos been maderdquo Schumer said ldquoItrsquos a lot better than it was 10 years ago but we also learned that we have more progress to go And in our im-migration bill we hope that we will make that progress along with many other goalsrdquoWhile the president is hopeful that

a bill will move quickly through the legislative process opponents say the negotiations deserve a longer ndash and more public ndash hearing Leading that charge Sen Jeff Ses-

sions of Alabama has accused Dem-ocratic Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of trying to ldquoram throughrdquo the bill with limited debate before the measure hits the Senate floorldquoThe massive proposal being cob-

bled together by a group of Sena-tors in secret must be independently judged and reviewed by the Judiciary Committee in the full light of dayrdquo Sessions said in a statement ldquoThat will take months mdash not two weeks mdash and will require hearings on every aspect of this issue

Councilman Hernandez Discovers Discrepancies in City Audit Process and Lack of Internal Controls

BY CHRISTY M A R T I N E Z -GARCIA

On March 27 Latino

Lubbock Maga-zine received a statement from the City of Lub-bock on behalf of Dist 1 Council-

man Victor Hernandez As a result of multiple inquiries and

open record requests made to the City of Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez stated that he had discovered multiple areas of concern as they relate to information pro-vided (or not provided) by the City of Lubbock to BKD (CPAs amp Advisors) during the audit process as well as the absence of internal controls as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez stated

After speaking to and exchanging multiple e-mails with BKD represen-tatives I discovered that the City of Lubbock did not notify BKD (in the client planning questionnaire) of the fact that hotelmotel taxes were not being paid or were delinquent to the City of Lubbock from a number of hoteliersmoteliers Furthermore I discovered that the City of Lubbock was lacking with regard to internal controlsNeither the Lubbock City Council

nor the Audit Committee has been

informed of all aspects of the audit currently being concludedCurrently BKD continues to solicit

information from the City of Lub-bock to determine whether or not any receivable [hotelmotel taxes or franchise fees] would be immaterial [or material] to the overall financial presentation thus requiring or not requiring that the 2012 audit approach be altered or the Comprehensive An-nual Financial Report (CAFR) be modified Also BKD continues to solicit information from the City of Lubbock concerning implemented controls and controls remaining to be implemented as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez continued

At this time based on the informa-tion I currently have I cannot vote in favor of Item 63 of this weeks agen-da which is a resolution accepting the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended September 30 2012 It is my hope that other Council members join me in referring this matter back to our Audit Committee in order that they be fully briefed on my findings It is also my hope that the entire Council be briefed by BKD prior to our vote on this issueAs a result the City of Lubbock

added a special council meeting on April 4th to their agenda largely to discuss recent complaints filed against District One Councilman Victor HernandezMayor Glen Robertson said the

citys Human Resources Department had informed him of three written complaints that have been filed by separate city employees The Mayor could not release the nature of the complaints and said they hadnt been investigated yet however he said these issues will be discussed at that meetingHernandez finds it interesting that

the special council meeting was called just hours after he released a statement criticizing the citys yearly financial audit Last year the city became aware

that it had not collected hotelmotel taxes on a number of properties in town Hernandez said In following Hernandezs state-

ment the Lubbock City Managers Office as well as LPampL also released statements LPampL statement read After meet-

ing with LPampLrsquos third party financial auditor this morning Electric Utility Board Chairman Gail Kring is issu-ing the following statementldquoWe just finished meeting with our

independent third party financial auditor BKD LLP They will issue LPampL a clean unqualified opinion for LPampLrsquos Annual Financial Audit for Fiscal Year 2012 This opinion follows their audit of LPampLrsquos financ-es and their special audit of LPampLrsquos procurementpurchasing procedures The auditors found no material weaknesses or significant deficien-cies In laymanrsquos terms this means a clean auditrdquo

Texas lawmakers moved forward

with a bill March 26 that would require wel-fare applicants to be screened for drug useThe bill authored by

State Senator Jane Nel-son the Republican chairwoman of the committee was approved by the state senatersquos Health and Human Services CommitteeIt would require applicants to the

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program to under-go screening by the Texas Health and Human Services CommissionUnder Nelsonrsquos bill applicants

who appear to use drug or have been convicted for drug use will be subjected to testing Ap-plicants who test positive for drugs would be

barred from receiving TANF funds for 12 monthsldquoDrug abuse destroys families

harms children and prevents individ-uals from living healthy independent livesrdquo Nelson said in a press release ldquoBecause TANF is a direct cash as-sistance program we have a respon-sibility to ensure that these funds are

not being used to support a personrsquos drug habitrdquoTexas Governor Rick Perry and Lt

Gov David Dewhurst have thrown their support behind the billldquoTexas taxpayers will not subsidize

or tolerate illegal drug abuserdquo Perry said in a statement in November ldquoEvery dollar that goes to someone who uses it inappropriately is a dollar that canrsquot go to a Texan who needs it for housing child care or medicinerdquoOne hundred thousand Texans a

year are enrolled in TANF accord-ing to Nelsonrsquos officeThe bill will go to the Texas House

of Representatives if it passes a vote in the full Senate

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

Volunteer Appreciation Week April 21-27 2013Am e r i c a s

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

traditions of involvement in volun-teer groups including trade and pro-fessional associations and womenrsquos

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

nization that shares similar interests to you Monthly Latino Lubbock Magazine showcases volunteer op-portunities If you are interested in serving

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

En Aquellos Diashellipmos comerlos el viernes Eran las

noches que toda la carne tenia otro sabor mucho mas mejor

Nos poniamos a ver a Wolf-man Jack en un programa de musica en la television o otro programa de baile Me

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

trenched Vatican bureaucracy widely believed to need a complete shake-up And now hes the boss For the tens of thousands who had waited in the cold Roman night to see the new pontiff that seemed like a good thingThe message of Pope Francis is

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

ish priest who moved up the ranks Hes a member of the Jesuit order -- a fiercely independent branch of the Church devoted to running teaching institutions and social pro-grams Yet until now his conser-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

April is upon us and your racing mind with its busy schedule

may begin to lament---where did the first three months goHerersquos an alternative to that think-

ing April announces springtime and this is one of the ldquohappyrdquo sea-sons Flowers are blooming trees are turning green color is popping everywhere Itrsquos a time of new be-ginnings and thatrsquos one of the rea-sons April is traditionally the month we celebrate children So take a deep breath and resolve to make April a special month for your fam-ily At the YWCA we are so blessed

to be surrounded by children They keep us doing the bunny hop all year long They help us laugh They make us look at situations with fresh eyes Their unique creativity and joy inspire us Their unconditional love heals us and in tough situa-tions helps us keep putting one foot in front of the other For these reasons celebrating

children seems like one of the easi-est and most natural things anyone could do But the sad truth is there is another side of the story Some

children are not in happy situations In fact child abuse and neglect is one of the chief concerns fac-ing our community On average 4 children in Lubbock are the victims of abuse or neglect every day and the majority of these children are under the age of three There is something each of us can do about it however ldquoWear Bluerdquo on Thurs-

day April 4 2013 Simple No extra time out of your jammed pack day Just choose ldquobluerdquo from your wardrobe on this one day of the year Yoursquoll be sup-porting the Lubbock Coalition for Child Abuse Prevention (CCAP) and participating in our challenge to have at least 4000 Lubbock resi-dents wearing blue on behalf of the more than 1500 Lubbock children who become victims of child abuse and neglect each year By wearing blue and explaining why---you can help us raise awareness in our com-munity Thatrsquos the first step Notch up your support and email

Lubbock4for4yahoocom on or before April 4 and let the organizers know who you are and how many will be in your ldquoBlue Grouprdquo Lubbock has a reputation for meet-ing its goals---so letrsquos meet or beat this one Once we have awareness we can begin to find solutions and chip away at this tragic and preventable problemFind out more about

all the wonderful youth-serving agencies and faith-based organizations in Lubbock that are providing services to families Get involved or simply support them in their work for children and fami-lies Organizations like The Parent-ing Cottage Early Learning Cen-ters CASA Childrenrsquos Advocacy Center Boys and Girls Clubs Boy Scouts Girl Scouts Communities in Schools Big Brothers Big Sisters Family Guidance and Outreach and of course the YWCA--- along with so many others work with families to provide positive and affordable activities Each of these organiza-

tions has a place for volunteers par-ticipants and supportersFinally learn more Whatrsquos be-

hind the startling numbers of child abuse and neglect in our Lubbock area You might be surprised by the complexities that surround this troubling issue You might also be surprised by the number of positive actions we can take surrounding this difficult topic Actions as easy as wearing blue on a given Thurs-day or writing a letter in support of prevention programs can be simple in the scheme of a hectic schedule--- but monumental in the overall im-pact on the life of a child The power of working as a com-

munity is undeniable We are a Top 100 Community for Young People because Lubbock puts children and families as a critical priority Letrsquos lend our support this month to our most vulnerable children so that this time next year we can proudly proclaim---we saw a problem we tackled it we made a differenceGLENDA MATHIS is Executive Di-rector of the YWCA that for more than 50 years has been a champion for wom-en and families on the South Plains

As a bipartisan group of senators chips away at the remaining ob-

stacles to an immigration deal Presi-dent Barack Obama says he is opti-mistic that ndash if lawmakers release a draft bill early April ndash he will be able to sign comprehensive immigration reform into law before autumnldquoIf we have a bill introduced at the

beginning of next month -- as these senators indicate it will be -- then Im confident that we can get it done cer-tainly before the end of the summerrdquo Obama said in an interview with Tel-emundo last monthAlfonso Aguilar the Executive Di-

rector for the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles Democratic pollster Margie Omero and Nathan Gonzales the Deputy Editor of the Rothenberg Political Report and con-tributing writer for Roll call join The Daily Rundown to talk about immi-gration legislation The president repeated that he could

still introduce a White House-draft-ed version of the legislation if the ldquoGang of Eightrdquo Senate group is not able to put forward a bill But he said hersquos confident that lawmakers will be able to work out the final snags in the negotiations in time to unveil their proposal when they return from a

two-week Easter recessldquoIm optimis-

ticrdquo he said ldquo Ive always said that if I see a breakdown in the process that Ive got my own legislation Im prepared to step in But I dont think thats going to be necessary I think theres a commitment -- among this group of Democratic and Republican senators to get this donerdquoThe negotia-

tions have been

held up in part by continuing dis-putes between business and labor groups about the conditions of a guest-worker program particularly the wages and treatment ensured to temporary workers compared to those for American workers pursu-ing similar jobsBut the president said he doesnrsquot be-

lieve that the dispute could scuttle the whole reform frameworkldquoThere are still some areas about

hellip the future flow of guest workersrdquo he said ldquoLabor and businesses may not always agree exactly on how to do this But this is a resolvable issuerdquoWhite House Spokesman Josh Ear-

nest expresses optimism over the on-going negotiations of the Gang of 8 relating to immigration reformWhile he expressed optimism that

a final bill will contain a path to citizenship for those currently in the country illegally Obama would not offer specifics on how long the pro-cess of obtaining citizenship should takeAnd he declined to outline how the

security of the nationrsquos border should be assessed saying only that there should be no border security ldquotrig-gerrdquo that must be met before undocu-mented persons are eligible to begin the process of seeking legal statusldquoWe dont want to make this earned

pathway to citizenship a situation in which its put off further and fur-ther into the futurerdquo he said ldquoThere needs to be a certain path for how people can get legal in this country even as we also work on these strong border security issuesrdquoWhile the White House has de-

ferred to the Senate group on the leg-islative language the president has used the bully pulpit in recent days to urge lawmakers to action and remind the public of the general framework for reform that he supports ndash includ-ing a path to citizenshipIn addition to the Telemundo inter-

view he also sat down with Span-ish-language channel Univision on Wednesday Earlier this week the president urged Congress to show ldquopolitical couragerdquo on the issue dur-ing remarks at a naturalization cer-emony at the White House

President Obama Optimistic on Immigration Legislation

Senate negotiators say they are close to a final dealPresident Barack Obama signed a

bill creating the Charles Young Buf-falo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio during a ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House March 25 in Washington DC Last month Republican Sens John

McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona held a joint press conference with Democrats Chuck Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colo-rado The lawmakers traveled to Arizonarsquos southern border to survey the state of security there a tour that offered a very real illustration of the illegal immigration issue when they spotted a woman scaling a border fence (She was later apprehended by border security officers McCain said)At a press conference Schumer told

reporters there that negotiators are ldquo90 percent of the way thererdquo on a compromise bill adding that the trip offered a glimpse into what further resources are needed to ensure full border securityldquoWe learned about the great prog-

ress thatrsquos been maderdquo Schumer said ldquoItrsquos a lot better than it was 10 years ago but we also learned that we have more progress to go And in our im-migration bill we hope that we will make that progress along with many other goalsrdquoWhile the president is hopeful that

a bill will move quickly through the legislative process opponents say the negotiations deserve a longer ndash and more public ndash hearing Leading that charge Sen Jeff Ses-

sions of Alabama has accused Dem-ocratic Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of trying to ldquoram throughrdquo the bill with limited debate before the measure hits the Senate floorldquoThe massive proposal being cob-

bled together by a group of Sena-tors in secret must be independently judged and reviewed by the Judiciary Committee in the full light of dayrdquo Sessions said in a statement ldquoThat will take months mdash not two weeks mdash and will require hearings on every aspect of this issue

Councilman Hernandez Discovers Discrepancies in City Audit Process and Lack of Internal Controls

BY CHRISTY M A R T I N E Z -GARCIA

On March 27 Latino

Lubbock Maga-zine received a statement from the City of Lub-bock on behalf of Dist 1 Council-

man Victor Hernandez As a result of multiple inquiries and

open record requests made to the City of Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez stated that he had discovered multiple areas of concern as they relate to information pro-vided (or not provided) by the City of Lubbock to BKD (CPAs amp Advisors) during the audit process as well as the absence of internal controls as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez stated

After speaking to and exchanging multiple e-mails with BKD represen-tatives I discovered that the City of Lubbock did not notify BKD (in the client planning questionnaire) of the fact that hotelmotel taxes were not being paid or were delinquent to the City of Lubbock from a number of hoteliersmoteliers Furthermore I discovered that the City of Lubbock was lacking with regard to internal controlsNeither the Lubbock City Council

nor the Audit Committee has been

informed of all aspects of the audit currently being concludedCurrently BKD continues to solicit

information from the City of Lub-bock to determine whether or not any receivable [hotelmotel taxes or franchise fees] would be immaterial [or material] to the overall financial presentation thus requiring or not requiring that the 2012 audit approach be altered or the Comprehensive An-nual Financial Report (CAFR) be modified Also BKD continues to solicit information from the City of Lubbock concerning implemented controls and controls remaining to be implemented as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez continued

At this time based on the informa-tion I currently have I cannot vote in favor of Item 63 of this weeks agen-da which is a resolution accepting the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended September 30 2012 It is my hope that other Council members join me in referring this matter back to our Audit Committee in order that they be fully briefed on my findings It is also my hope that the entire Council be briefed by BKD prior to our vote on this issueAs a result the City of Lubbock

added a special council meeting on April 4th to their agenda largely to discuss recent complaints filed against District One Councilman Victor HernandezMayor Glen Robertson said the

citys Human Resources Department had informed him of three written complaints that have been filed by separate city employees The Mayor could not release the nature of the complaints and said they hadnt been investigated yet however he said these issues will be discussed at that meetingHernandez finds it interesting that

the special council meeting was called just hours after he released a statement criticizing the citys yearly financial audit Last year the city became aware

that it had not collected hotelmotel taxes on a number of properties in town Hernandez said In following Hernandezs state-

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

saving for your childs education and there are several options out there for doing so One of the most popular options is a 529 planAs for retirement take advantage

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

traditions of involvement in volun-teer groups including trade and pro-fessional associations and womenrsquos

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

April Is Parkinsonrsquos Awareness Month

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

trenched Vatican bureaucracy widely believed to need a complete shake-up And now hes the boss For the tens of thousands who had waited in the cold Roman night to see the new pontiff that seemed like a good thingThe message of Pope Francis is

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

As a bipartisan group of senators chips away at the remaining ob-

stacles to an immigration deal Presi-dent Barack Obama says he is opti-mistic that ndash if lawmakers release a draft bill early April ndash he will be able to sign comprehensive immigration reform into law before autumnldquoIf we have a bill introduced at the

beginning of next month -- as these senators indicate it will be -- then Im confident that we can get it done cer-tainly before the end of the summerrdquo Obama said in an interview with Tel-emundo last monthAlfonso Aguilar the Executive Di-

rector for the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles Democratic pollster Margie Omero and Nathan Gonzales the Deputy Editor of the Rothenberg Political Report and con-tributing writer for Roll call join The Daily Rundown to talk about immi-gration legislation The president repeated that he could

still introduce a White House-draft-ed version of the legislation if the ldquoGang of Eightrdquo Senate group is not able to put forward a bill But he said hersquos confident that lawmakers will be able to work out the final snags in the negotiations in time to unveil their proposal when they return from a

two-week Easter recessldquoIm optimis-

ticrdquo he said ldquo Ive always said that if I see a breakdown in the process that Ive got my own legislation Im prepared to step in But I dont think thats going to be necessary I think theres a commitment -- among this group of Democratic and Republican senators to get this donerdquoThe negotia-

tions have been

held up in part by continuing dis-putes between business and labor groups about the conditions of a guest-worker program particularly the wages and treatment ensured to temporary workers compared to those for American workers pursu-ing similar jobsBut the president said he doesnrsquot be-

lieve that the dispute could scuttle the whole reform frameworkldquoThere are still some areas about

hellip the future flow of guest workersrdquo he said ldquoLabor and businesses may not always agree exactly on how to do this But this is a resolvable issuerdquoWhite House Spokesman Josh Ear-

nest expresses optimism over the on-going negotiations of the Gang of 8 relating to immigration reformWhile he expressed optimism that

a final bill will contain a path to citizenship for those currently in the country illegally Obama would not offer specifics on how long the pro-cess of obtaining citizenship should takeAnd he declined to outline how the

security of the nationrsquos border should be assessed saying only that there should be no border security ldquotrig-gerrdquo that must be met before undocu-mented persons are eligible to begin the process of seeking legal statusldquoWe dont want to make this earned

pathway to citizenship a situation in which its put off further and fur-ther into the futurerdquo he said ldquoThere needs to be a certain path for how people can get legal in this country even as we also work on these strong border security issuesrdquoWhile the White House has de-

ferred to the Senate group on the leg-islative language the president has used the bully pulpit in recent days to urge lawmakers to action and remind the public of the general framework for reform that he supports ndash includ-ing a path to citizenshipIn addition to the Telemundo inter-

view he also sat down with Span-ish-language channel Univision on Wednesday Earlier this week the president urged Congress to show ldquopolitical couragerdquo on the issue dur-ing remarks at a naturalization cer-emony at the White House

President Obama Optimistic on Immigration Legislation

Senate negotiators say they are close to a final dealPresident Barack Obama signed a

bill creating the Charles Young Buf-falo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio during a ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House March 25 in Washington DC Last month Republican Sens John

McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona held a joint press conference with Democrats Chuck Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colo-rado The lawmakers traveled to Arizonarsquos southern border to survey the state of security there a tour that offered a very real illustration of the illegal immigration issue when they spotted a woman scaling a border fence (She was later apprehended by border security officers McCain said)At a press conference Schumer told

reporters there that negotiators are ldquo90 percent of the way thererdquo on a compromise bill adding that the trip offered a glimpse into what further resources are needed to ensure full border securityldquoWe learned about the great prog-

ress thatrsquos been maderdquo Schumer said ldquoItrsquos a lot better than it was 10 years ago but we also learned that we have more progress to go And in our im-migration bill we hope that we will make that progress along with many other goalsrdquoWhile the president is hopeful that

a bill will move quickly through the legislative process opponents say the negotiations deserve a longer ndash and more public ndash hearing Leading that charge Sen Jeff Ses-

sions of Alabama has accused Dem-ocratic Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of trying to ldquoram throughrdquo the bill with limited debate before the measure hits the Senate floorldquoThe massive proposal being cob-

bled together by a group of Sena-tors in secret must be independently judged and reviewed by the Judiciary Committee in the full light of dayrdquo Sessions said in a statement ldquoThat will take months mdash not two weeks mdash and will require hearings on every aspect of this issue

Councilman Hernandez Discovers Discrepancies in City Audit Process and Lack of Internal Controls

BY CHRISTY M A R T I N E Z -GARCIA

On March 27 Latino

Lubbock Maga-zine received a statement from the City of Lub-bock on behalf of Dist 1 Council-

man Victor Hernandez As a result of multiple inquiries and

open record requests made to the City of Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez stated that he had discovered multiple areas of concern as they relate to information pro-vided (or not provided) by the City of Lubbock to BKD (CPAs amp Advisors) during the audit process as well as the absence of internal controls as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez stated

After speaking to and exchanging multiple e-mails with BKD represen-tatives I discovered that the City of Lubbock did not notify BKD (in the client planning questionnaire) of the fact that hotelmotel taxes were not being paid or were delinquent to the City of Lubbock from a number of hoteliersmoteliers Furthermore I discovered that the City of Lubbock was lacking with regard to internal controlsNeither the Lubbock City Council

nor the Audit Committee has been

informed of all aspects of the audit currently being concludedCurrently BKD continues to solicit

information from the City of Lub-bock to determine whether or not any receivable [hotelmotel taxes or franchise fees] would be immaterial [or material] to the overall financial presentation thus requiring or not requiring that the 2012 audit approach be altered or the Comprehensive An-nual Financial Report (CAFR) be modified Also BKD continues to solicit information from the City of Lubbock concerning implemented controls and controls remaining to be implemented as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez continued

At this time based on the informa-tion I currently have I cannot vote in favor of Item 63 of this weeks agen-da which is a resolution accepting the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended September 30 2012 It is my hope that other Council members join me in referring this matter back to our Audit Committee in order that they be fully briefed on my findings It is also my hope that the entire Council be briefed by BKD prior to our vote on this issueAs a result the City of Lubbock

added a special council meeting on April 4th to their agenda largely to discuss recent complaints filed against District One Councilman Victor HernandezMayor Glen Robertson said the

citys Human Resources Department had informed him of three written complaints that have been filed by separate city employees The Mayor could not release the nature of the complaints and said they hadnt been investigated yet however he said these issues will be discussed at that meetingHernandez finds it interesting that

the special council meeting was called just hours after he released a statement criticizing the citys yearly financial audit Last year the city became aware

that it had not collected hotelmotel taxes on a number of properties in town Hernandez said In following Hernandezs state-

ment the Lubbock City Managers Office as well as LPampL also released statements LPampL statement read After meet-

ing with LPampLrsquos third party financial auditor this morning Electric Utility Board Chairman Gail Kring is issu-ing the following statementldquoWe just finished meeting with our

independent third party financial auditor BKD LLP They will issue LPampL a clean unqualified opinion for LPampLrsquos Annual Financial Audit for Fiscal Year 2012 This opinion follows their audit of LPampLrsquos financ-es and their special audit of LPampLrsquos procurementpurchasing procedures The auditors found no material weaknesses or significant deficien-cies In laymanrsquos terms this means a clean auditrdquo

Texas lawmakers moved forward

with a bill March 26 that would require wel-fare applicants to be screened for drug useThe bill authored by

State Senator Jane Nel-son the Republican chairwoman of the committee was approved by the state senatersquos Health and Human Services CommitteeIt would require applicants to the

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program to under-go screening by the Texas Health and Human Services CommissionUnder Nelsonrsquos bill applicants

who appear to use drug or have been convicted for drug use will be subjected to testing Ap-plicants who test positive for drugs would be

barred from receiving TANF funds for 12 monthsldquoDrug abuse destroys families

harms children and prevents individ-uals from living healthy independent livesrdquo Nelson said in a press release ldquoBecause TANF is a direct cash as-sistance program we have a respon-sibility to ensure that these funds are

not being used to support a personrsquos drug habitrdquoTexas Governor Rick Perry and Lt

Gov David Dewhurst have thrown their support behind the billldquoTexas taxpayers will not subsidize

or tolerate illegal drug abuserdquo Perry said in a statement in November ldquoEvery dollar that goes to someone who uses it inappropriately is a dollar that canrsquot go to a Texan who needs it for housing child care or medicinerdquoOne hundred thousand Texans a

year are enrolled in TANF accord-ing to Nelsonrsquos officeThe bill will go to the Texas House

of Representatives if it passes a vote in the full Senate

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

saving for your childs education and there are several options out there for doing so One of the most popular options is a 529 planAs for retirement take advantage

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Sabor Hispano

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

En Aquellos Diashellipmos comerlos el viernes Eran las

noches que toda la carne tenia otro sabor mucho mas mejor

Nos poniamos a ver a Wolf-man Jack en un programa de musica en la television o otro programa de baile Me

acuerdo que mi papaacute cada rato nos decia que nos durmieramos

pero estabamos esperando que mis hermanas salieran del trabajo Lle-gandose un minuto despues de me-dia nochehellipa cenar pizza yo ham-burgesas iexclQue cosa cuando uno esta joven todo es tan faciacutel y censioEditors Note Rosario Montez Smith grew up en un rancho and enjoys sharing her memories of living in rural West Texas

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

tition hosted by Texas Tech University Graduate School welcomed many judges including TTU Womens Basketball Coach Kristy Curry She posed with Dr Ralph Ferguson As-sociate Dean of the Graduate School and one of the competing students Judges thor-oughly assess the research of graduate students in the competition in areas of Science engineering and more

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Councilman Hernandez Discovers Discrepancies in City Audit Process and Lack of Internal Controls

BY CHRISTY M A R T I N E Z -GARCIA

On March 27 Latino

Lubbock Maga-zine received a statement from the City of Lub-bock on behalf of Dist 1 Council-

man Victor Hernandez As a result of multiple inquiries and

open record requests made to the City of Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez stated that he had discovered multiple areas of concern as they relate to information pro-vided (or not provided) by the City of Lubbock to BKD (CPAs amp Advisors) during the audit process as well as the absence of internal controls as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez stated

After speaking to and exchanging multiple e-mails with BKD represen-tatives I discovered that the City of Lubbock did not notify BKD (in the client planning questionnaire) of the fact that hotelmotel taxes were not being paid or were delinquent to the City of Lubbock from a number of hoteliersmoteliers Furthermore I discovered that the City of Lubbock was lacking with regard to internal controlsNeither the Lubbock City Council

nor the Audit Committee has been

informed of all aspects of the audit currently being concludedCurrently BKD continues to solicit

information from the City of Lub-bock to determine whether or not any receivable [hotelmotel taxes or franchise fees] would be immaterial [or material] to the overall financial presentation thus requiring or not requiring that the 2012 audit approach be altered or the Comprehensive An-nual Financial Report (CAFR) be modified Also BKD continues to solicit information from the City of Lubbock concerning implemented controls and controls remaining to be implemented as it relates to franchise fees and hotelmotel taxesCouncilman Hernandez continued

At this time based on the informa-tion I currently have I cannot vote in favor of Item 63 of this weeks agen-da which is a resolution accepting the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended September 30 2012 It is my hope that other Council members join me in referring this matter back to our Audit Committee in order that they be fully briefed on my findings It is also my hope that the entire Council be briefed by BKD prior to our vote on this issueAs a result the City of Lubbock

added a special council meeting on April 4th to their agenda largely to discuss recent complaints filed against District One Councilman Victor HernandezMayor Glen Robertson said the

citys Human Resources Department had informed him of three written complaints that have been filed by separate city employees The Mayor could not release the nature of the complaints and said they hadnt been investigated yet however he said these issues will be discussed at that meetingHernandez finds it interesting that

the special council meeting was called just hours after he released a statement criticizing the citys yearly financial audit Last year the city became aware

that it had not collected hotelmotel taxes on a number of properties in town Hernandez said In following Hernandezs state-

ment the Lubbock City Managers Office as well as LPampL also released statements LPampL statement read After meet-

ing with LPampLrsquos third party financial auditor this morning Electric Utility Board Chairman Gail Kring is issu-ing the following statementldquoWe just finished meeting with our

independent third party financial auditor BKD LLP They will issue LPampL a clean unqualified opinion for LPampLrsquos Annual Financial Audit for Fiscal Year 2012 This opinion follows their audit of LPampLrsquos financ-es and their special audit of LPampLrsquos procurementpurchasing procedures The auditors found no material weaknesses or significant deficien-cies In laymanrsquos terms this means a clean auditrdquo

Texas lawmakers moved forward

with a bill March 26 that would require wel-fare applicants to be screened for drug useThe bill authored by

State Senator Jane Nel-son the Republican chairwoman of the committee was approved by the state senatersquos Health and Human Services CommitteeIt would require applicants to the

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program to under-go screening by the Texas Health and Human Services CommissionUnder Nelsonrsquos bill applicants

who appear to use drug or have been convicted for drug use will be subjected to testing Ap-plicants who test positive for drugs would be

barred from receiving TANF funds for 12 monthsldquoDrug abuse destroys families

harms children and prevents individ-uals from living healthy independent livesrdquo Nelson said in a press release ldquoBecause TANF is a direct cash as-sistance program we have a respon-sibility to ensure that these funds are

not being used to support a personrsquos drug habitrdquoTexas Governor Rick Perry and Lt

Gov David Dewhurst have thrown their support behind the billldquoTexas taxpayers will not subsidize

or tolerate illegal drug abuserdquo Perry said in a statement in November ldquoEvery dollar that goes to someone who uses it inappropriately is a dollar that canrsquot go to a Texan who needs it for housing child care or medicinerdquoOne hundred thousand Texans a

year are enrolled in TANF accord-ing to Nelsonrsquos officeThe bill will go to the Texas House

of Representatives if it passes a vote in the full Senate

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

Volunteer Appreciation Week April 21-27 2013Am e r i c a s

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

traditions of involvement in volun-teer groups including trade and pro-fessional associations and womenrsquos

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

En Aquellos Diashellipmos comerlos el viernes Eran las

noches que toda la carne tenia otro sabor mucho mas mejor

Nos poniamos a ver a Wolf-man Jack en un programa de musica en la television o otro programa de baile Me

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

trenched Vatican bureaucracy widely believed to need a complete shake-up And now hes the boss For the tens of thousands who had waited in the cold Roman night to see the new pontiff that seemed like a good thingThe message of Pope Francis is

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

ish priest who moved up the ranks Hes a member of the Jesuit order -- a fiercely independent branch of the Church devoted to running teaching institutions and social pro-grams Yet until now his conser-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

saving for your childs education and there are several options out there for doing so One of the most popular options is a 529 planAs for retirement take advantage

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

Volunteer Appreciation Week April 21-27 2013Am e r i c a s

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

traditions of involvement in volun-teer groups including trade and pro-fessional associations and womenrsquos

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

nization that shares similar interests to you Monthly Latino Lubbock Magazine showcases volunteer op-portunities If you are interested in serving

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Sabor Hispano

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

En Aquellos Diashellipmos comerlos el viernes Eran las

noches que toda la carne tenia otro sabor mucho mas mejor

Nos poniamos a ver a Wolf-man Jack en un programa de musica en la television o otro programa de baile Me

acuerdo que mi papaacute cada rato nos decia que nos durmieramos

pero estabamos esperando que mis hermanas salieran del trabajo Lle-gandose un minuto despues de me-dia nochehellipa cenar pizza yo ham-burgesas iexclQue cosa cuando uno esta joven todo es tan faciacutel y censioEditors Note Rosario Montez Smith grew up en un rancho and enjoys sharing her memories of living in rural West Texas

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

tition hosted by Texas Tech University Graduate School welcomed many judges including TTU Womens Basketball Coach Kristy Curry She posed with Dr Ralph Ferguson As-sociate Dean of the Graduate School and one of the competing students Judges thor-oughly assess the research of graduate students in the competition in areas of Science engineering and more

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

saving for your childs education and there are several options out there for doing so One of the most popular options is a 529 planAs for retirement take advantage

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

traditions of involvement in volun-teer groups including trade and pro-fessional associations and womenrsquos

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

nization that shares similar interests to you Monthly Latino Lubbock Magazine showcases volunteer op-portunities If you are interested in serving

What Tax Changes After the Fiscal CliffThese are some of the changes

that occurred after the so-called ldquoFiscal CliffrdquoOne of the biggest changes is the tax

rate increase is for higher income in-dividualsThe tax rate increased to 396 per-

cent for taxpayers with ordinary income over $450000 in taxable income for married taxpayers fi ling jointly and over $400000 in taxable income for single individualsThe 2 percent payroll tax in place

forth year 2012 was not extended for the year 2013 Therefore workers immediately saw a decrease on their wages This increase in tax will end up be paid by the employer when fi l-

ing his quarterly reports if he does not deduct it from his employeesBeginning in 2013 taxpayers are

required to pay a 38 percent tax on the taxpayerrsquos net investment income Net investment income includes in-terest dividends annuities royalties rents capital gains and passive activ-ity income The tax is computed af-ter allowable deductionsConsult your tax advisor for addi-

tional Donate Life Month a month- long celebration honoring the gener-osity of organ eye and tissue donors and their families and commemorates all transplant recipients in the United States Activities in April will focus on encouraging Texans to join the Donate Life Texas Registry as offi -cial organ eye and tissue donors As part of their celebration LifeGift

acknowledges the importance of edu-cating local communities about the renewing power of donation and en-couraging them to register as organ eye and tissue donorsldquoIncreasing the number of registered

organ eye and tissue donors that save lives is an important part of our daily work April gives us a focused month to honor the lives of those who have given and received and it provides a perfect opportunity to renew our commitment to saving livesrdquo said Kevin Myer of Donate Life Texas Across the country more than

117000 men women and children wait for a lifesaving transplant and thousands more wait to life-restoring tissue donations In Texas more than 11000 residents wait for their second chance

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

April Is Parkinsonrsquos Awareness Month

BY ANNA-LISA FINGER MS RD LDNFOR LATINO LUBBOCK MAGAZINE

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

SUCCESSFUL FISH FRY Shallowater Saint Philip volunteers and their pastor - Rev Philip Pasupil welcomed many supporters to their annual fish fries held each Friday during Lent

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

How to start saving moneyDo you have a problem saving

money Youre not alone But there are several steps you can take to start putting money away for the future Saving in this economy can be

tough The most important thing you can do is start putting away three months of living expenses for you and your familyNext prioritize your goals - list

your dreams your wants and your needsFor many families owning a home

sending their kids to college and being able to retire rank high on the list If you want to own a house it should not be about making money later Your attitude should not be go-ing in it to make money sell it and get into another one Youre going in it to make a home Then comes the big debate of sav-

ing for college or saving for retire-

ment Many financial advisors recom-

mend saving for retirement first but not everyone agrees If youre a family thats struggling then having a child graduate from college could be the best way to stop that genera-tional problemHowever its never too early to start

saving for your childs education and there are several options out there for doing so One of the most popular options is a 529 planAs for retirement take advantage

of your employers 401(k) optionsLastly if all of this seems over-

whelming just remember it is pos-sible And a little sacrifice can go a long way

Volunteer Appreciation Week April 21-27 2013Am e r i c a s

story has been marked by the service of volunteers Generations of selfless indi-viduals from all walks of life have served each other and

our Nation each person dedicated to making tomorrow better than today They exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things make things better and solve problems when we work together During National Volunteer Week

April 21-27 2013 we celebrate the profound impact of volunteers and encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a differ-ence Every one of us has a role to play in making our communities and our country stronger Despite Hispanic Americansrsquo long

traditions of involvement in volun-teer groups including trade and pro-fessional associations and womenrsquos

and menrsquos clubs and unions their numbers are underrepresented in contemporary volunteer programsldquoMainstream volunteer programs

have not reached out sufficiently to include as diverse a volunteer pool as possiblerdquo to accommodate cultural differences in such programsExperts recommend that in this era

of rising needs and limited resources Hispanicsrsquo talents should be mobi-lized through the aggressive recruit-ment training and stimulation of volunteersAs such for Hispanics find an orga-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

coholism who have a higher risk for becoming dependent on alcohol should approach moderate drink-ing carefully Maintaining moder-ate drinking habits may be harder for them than for people without a family history of drinking problems Once a person moves from moderate to heavier drinking the risks of so-cial problems (for example drinking and driving violence and trauma) and medical problems (for example liver disease brain damage and can-cer) increase greatly Talk to a health care profession-

almdashDiscuss your concerns with a doctor nurse nurse practitioner or other health care provider They can recommend groups or organizations that could help you avoid alcohol problems If you are an adult who already has begun to drink a health care professional can assess your drinking habits to see if you need to cut back on your drinking and advise you about how to do that

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

For the 10th consecutive year LifeGift celebrates April as Na-

tional Donate Life Month a month- long celebration honoring the gener-osity of organ eye and tissue donors and their families and commemorates all transplant recipients in the United States Activities in April will focus on encouraging Texans to join the Donate Life Texas Registry as offi -cial organ eye and tissue donors As part of their celebration LifeGift

acknowledges the importance of edu-cating local communities about the renewing power of donation and en-couraging them to register as organ eye and tissue donorsldquoIncreasing the number of registered

organ eye and tissue donors that save lives is an important part of our daily work April gives us a focused month to honor the lives of those who have given and received and it provides a perfect opportunity to renew our commitment to saving livesrdquo said Kevin Myer of Donate Life Texas Across the country more than

117000 men women and children wait for a lifesaving transplant and thousands more wait to life-restoring tissue donations In Texas more than 11000 residents wait for their second chance

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

SUCCESSFUL FISH FRY Shallowater Saint Philip volunteers and their pastor - Rev Philip Pasupil welcomed many supporters to their annual fish fries held each Friday during Lent

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

For the 10th consecutive year LifeGift celebrates April as Na-

tional Donate Life Month a month- long celebration honoring the gener-osity of organ eye and tissue donors and their families and commemorates all transplant recipients in the United States Activities in April will focus on encouraging Texans to join the Donate Life Texas Registry as offi -cial organ eye and tissue donors As part of their celebration LifeGift

acknowledges the importance of edu-cating local communities about the renewing power of donation and en-couraging them to register as organ eye and tissue donorsldquoIncreasing the number of registered

organ eye and tissue donors that save lives is an important part of our daily work April gives us a focused month to honor the lives of those who have given and received and it provides a perfect opportunity to renew our commitment to saving livesrdquo said Kevin Myer of Donate Life Texas Across the country more than

117000 men women and children wait for a lifesaving transplant and thousands more wait to life-restoring tissue donations In Texas more than 11000 residents wait for their second chance

ldquoEvery day 75 people have their lives saved through organ transplantation across the nation Many of these 75 are transplanted in Texas thanks to talented trans-plant profession-alsrdquo said Myer Even so 18 people die every day due

to the lack of available transplantable organs and every 10 minutes some-one receives the overwhelming news that their only hope for survival is a transplant While the Donate Life Texas Reg-

istry has gained momentum since its establishment in 2006 with more than 2 million registered donors the need for organ eye and tissue transplants is steadily increasing In Texas more

LifeGift Celebrates Donate Life Month this Aprilthan 11000 people are waiting in quiet desperation for a second chanceIn Texas residents

April Is Parkinsonrsquos Awareness Month

BY ANNA-LISA FINGER MS RD LDNFOR LATINO LUBBOCK MAGAZINE

Yoursquore probably think-ing ldquoTofu is for gra-

nola-eating animal rights activist vegetariansrdquo (No offense to granola-eating animal rights activist veg-etarians) It looks funny it tastes bland and it has a weird texture right Wrong Tofu is not only a great source of protein itrsquos inexpensive (one 16 oz package is less than $3) and extremely versatile Tofu also called soybean curd is

made from soymilk that is allowed to set by adding a coagulant Itrsquos a staple of Asian cuisine but has thankfully found its way into the produce section of most US grocery stores Tofu on its own is mild in fl avor and acts like a sponge when spiced or marinated This plant-based product is not only

high in protein half a cup of tofu has about 10 g of protein itrsquos also a good source of iron calcium and manga-

nese Furthermore some scientifi c studies have shown that a high intake

of soy protein will help reduce LDL cholesterol levelsYou will generally fi nd

two types of tofu on a supermarket shelf fi rm and silken Firm tofu is great for stir-fry bak-ing grilling or even as

an egg substitute in a tofu scramble Itrsquos best to press fi rm tofu before pre-paring (see recipe below) which will give tofu a better texture and help ab-sorb the fl avorings The second type is silken tofu or soft tofu which is great in smoothies salad dressings and even desserts To ensure you are reaping all the ben-

efi ts of this versatile food why not go meatless one day a week with a Tofu-based meal Visit wwwrunningongreencom for

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Sabor Hispano

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

En Aquellos Diashellipmos comerlos el viernes Eran las

noches que toda la carne tenia otro sabor mucho mas mejor

Nos poniamos a ver a Wolf-man Jack en un programa de musica en la television o otro programa de baile Me

acuerdo que mi papaacute cada rato nos decia que nos durmieramos

pero estabamos esperando que mis hermanas salieran del trabajo Lle-gandose un minuto despues de me-dia nochehellipa cenar pizza yo ham-burgesas iexclQue cosa cuando uno esta joven todo es tan faciacutel y censioEditors Note Rosario Montez Smith grew up en un rancho and enjoys sharing her memories of living in rural West Texas

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

tition hosted by Texas Tech University Graduate School welcomed many judges including TTU Womens Basketball Coach Kristy Curry She posed with Dr Ralph Ferguson As-sociate Dean of the Graduate School and one of the competing students Judges thor-oughly assess the research of graduate students in the competition in areas of Science engineering and more

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Be Cautious of Fake Insurance Policies

No w -h e r e

is the say-ing If It Sounds Too Good To Be True It P r o b a b l y Is more applicable than with

the emerging scam of fake insurance policiesEsther Martinez an agent

of Texas American Insurers told Latino Lubbock Maga-zine that between 2000 and 2002 scam artists sold fake health insurance policies to more than 200000 people Thats 200000 fake policies in two yearsThe biggest sign that some-

one may be trying to sell you a fake insurance policy is its cheap rate Martinez said if the premiums are at least 15 percent lower than policies from familiar carriers it is likely a fake policyUnusually liberal coverage

rules like promises of full coverage on conditions most

other policies will not un-derwrite are often warning signs tooLike any other business

deal if the sellers putting on a lot of pressure you bet-ter back offAlways check with your

states insurance department or commissioner before signing any insurance pol-icy The National Associa-tion of Insurance Commis-sioners is a great one-stop site to link to each states insurance regulator Use the states sites to research com-pany licenses and disciplin-ary historiesMartinez said that she en-

courages her customers to seek A rated carriers with a fi nancial strength of an A or better which can be found by going to the Texas De-partment of Insurers web-site at wwwtditexasgov She added that you can also compare home own-ers policy by company at httpwwwopicstatetxuspolicy-comparisonshome-owners

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

trenched Vatican bureaucracy widely believed to need a complete shake-up And now hes the boss For the tens of thousands who had waited in the cold Roman night to see the new pontiff that seemed like a good thingThe message of Pope Francis is

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

ish priest who moved up the ranks Hes a member of the Jesuit order -- a fiercely independent branch of the Church devoted to running teaching institutions and social pro-grams Yet until now his conser-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

faithful to the experience of the church in his hemisphere where the majority of the worldrsquos Catholics reside What was once considered the periphery of the church is now its center Many expect therefore that Pope Francis will move the en-tire world by teaching and example towards the redistribution of wealth in ways shaped by the Latin Ameri-can experience

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

ish priest who moved up the ranks Hes a member of the Jesuit order -- a fiercely independent branch of the Church devoted to running teaching institutions and social pro-grams Yet until now his conser-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Sabor Hispano

Estabamos en ancias para que saliera la cuaresma Antes

no comiamos carne en los vi-ernes Pero luego la Iglesia nos permitio comer carne en los viernes menos los vi-ernes de cuaresma Natural-mente eran los dias que mas se nos antojaba comer carne Una hermana trabajaba en un ldquodelirdquo donde hacian las mejores hamburge-sas en todo Levelland En esos dias si quedaban ordenes que no levan-taban los trabajadores se los podian traer para la casa gratis Otra her-mana trabajaba en Pizza Hut y era lo mismo Las dos trabajaban hasta las 1100 de la noche Habia noches que teniamos pizzas y hamburgesas Pero durante la cuaresma no podia-

En Aquellos Diashellipmos comerlos el viernes Eran las

noches que toda la carne tenia otro sabor mucho mas mejor

Nos poniamos a ver a Wolf-man Jack en un programa de musica en la television o otro programa de baile Me

acuerdo que mi papaacute cada rato nos decia que nos durmieramos

pero estabamos esperando que mis hermanas salieran del trabajo Lle-gandose un minuto despues de me-dia nochehellipa cenar pizza yo ham-burgesas iexclQue cosa cuando uno esta joven todo es tan faciacutel y censioEditors Note Rosario Montez Smith grew up en un rancho and enjoys sharing her memories of living in rural West Texas

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

tition hosted by Texas Tech University Graduate School welcomed many judges including TTU Womens Basketball Coach Kristy Curry She posed with Dr Ralph Ferguson As-sociate Dean of the Graduate School and one of the competing students Judges thor-oughly assess the research of graduate students in the competition in areas of Science engineering and more

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Petes Barrio MemoirAs I was growing up

one of the things that I looked forward to was making my First Com-munion After learning all the prayers and meet-ing the requirements and listening to the Sisters we were ready for our sacra-ment but even more ex-citing - was that I would fi nally get to be an Altar Server Learning the prayers and responses in Latin was a lot harder than I thought it would be The older Altar Servers were always trying to correct the mistakes that we

made Finally I remember the fi rst time that I was al-lowed to serve during the mass I remember being nervous and afraid that I would mess up A special thanks to the 3 Amigos that were our mentors that taught us the right way to serve and act during mass

In later years we became the experts and older servers and tried to teach the younger boys as we were taught Editors Note Pete Pintildea grew up in barrio Guadalupe and enjoys sharing his memo-ries and the stories of barrio Guadalupe GRAD RESEARCH ENRICH STUDENTS The Twelfth Annual Poster Compe-

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

ish priest who moved up the ranks Hes a member of the Jesuit order -- a fiercely independent branch of the Church devoted to running teaching institutions and social pro-grams Yet until now his conser-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

A humble beginning for Pope Francis

On his first day in office the new popes first act was pri-

vate and humble a trip to a Rome church -- in a Volkswagen -- for quite prayerHis chosen name is Francis the

first Pope Francis theres ever been The new pontiff is not from Italy nor even from Europe -- the first time thats happened too The for-mer Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio may have an Italian name but his parents emigrated to Argentina where he became the Bishop of Buenos AiresThe Catholic Church is now led by

a man from Latin America where its greatest block of believers live but the crowd in Rome didnt seem to mind especially when the first words out of the new popes mouth reinforced the idea that he was a different kind of pontiff one with a common touchBrothers sisters good evening

he said to the thousands gathered in front of St Peters Basilica Then in his first public religious gesture Pope Francis turned the Church up-side down He asked the crowd for its blessing on him in silent prayer You could have heard a rosary drop in St Peters squareFrancis background is not as a par-

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower

Looking at the softball land-

scape this season one team stands out among all the oth-ers even more than usual The Lady Mustangs are as of deadline time ranked

number fi ve in the state with their very impressive 24 wins and 1 loss record Leading the charge for them is Fren-ship transfer Monique Garcia who as of now is leading the team with a 16-0 record Although they have had some tough games and some easier ones too this month will really test them as they battle everyone from Abilene High on the 5th here in town to Abilene Coo-per on the 19th over there Sprinkle in Odessa Permian Midland Lee Mid-land High and San Angelo Central with four of those games on the road and we will see a battle hardened team ready for the playoffs next month They do show some inconsistencies at times making some untimely defensive errors when they least need them but so far their pitching staff has been strong enough to carry them through There are some more amazing softball pitchers here in the 806 honorable mention to Gabby Gloria at Estacado but it seems Coro-nado is the most balanced team we have seen so far Give credit to the head coach Jimmy Johnson and his assistant coaches for this seasons performances For the football afi cionados that have been watching pre-draft performances last month and the ones this month leading up to the NFL draft the time is almost here This years draft starts off on the 25th during prime time television coverage as the fi rst round will start at 7 and can be seen on ESPN and the NFL Network Rounds two and three will be seen Friday the 26th with the fi nal rounds to be shown on Saturday The Cowboys do not have many options on

how to improve the team except thru the draft since they are in deep with their salary cap situation They cur-rently have the 18th pick but with their many needs do not be surprised to see them trade down in the fi rst unless some spectacular player is sitting there when itrsquos their time to pick Offensive line safeties and corners are all seri-ous needs but remember the will need some running back help since Felix Jones more than likely will not be re-signed What Dallas fans should hope is that they do not draft a quarterback this year as this is one of the weakest classes to draft one Tony Romo has to be resigned which as of article time has not been in order for them to be able to sign their draft picks and possibly one not more than two free agents Maybe theyrsquoll wait for Johnny football next year The Houston Texans have more options available to them with their 27th overall pick They have already made a splash by signing Ed Reed the safety from the ravens on a two -year deal last month so they have a bit more leeway on what to do with that selection They will probably go on defense fi rst but I do expect them to shore up the offensive side of the ball to have more fi repower
