S^fonia Mexicana Plays to Full House

By: Norman Baffrey

Sinfonia Mexicana - Ole! Saturday, March 31 was a distinct "happening" in San Bernardino, as the Inland Empire Symphony and the Sinfonia Mexicana presented its Fifth Annual Sinfonia Mexicana at the California Theater of Performing Arts. It was a triumph of music, cuisine and international coop­eration and a joy for the community. This most happy event began with a

dinner for 200-plus at Siquio's Restau­rant in Colton. The restaurant was nicely furnished with peach-colored, linen cloths and green, liner napkins and other accents. A salad with a tasty dressing was served as most diners imbibed excellent margaritas. The en­tree of came asada was well received -a flavorful, tender, generous portion of steak with refiied beans, rice and a tortilla "flower" filled with guacamole. A fine cheesecake with strawberries and whipped cream was dessert. Introduced at the dinner were Maestro Jose Guadalupe Flores, guest conduc­tor and composers Mateo Oliva and Mario Kuri-Aldana. Sinfonia President Emest Garcia also introduced Yolanda

Santa Cmz Gasca, widow of Agustin Lara, in whose honor the concert was presented. Father Ray Rosales of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church gave a fine invocation and Elisa Diaz spoke of Agustin Lara's contribution to culture. The theater was filled to capacity - not a seat left to be sold. As the concert opened, the orchestra

was onstage with a portrait stage left of Agustin Lara, one of Mexico's best known and loved composers, song writers and lyricists. President Garcia spoke a few words and introduced Mayor W.R. Holcomb who presented Mrs. Gasca with an honorary citizen­ship in San Bemardino and a floral bouquet.

Without further ado, Eduardo Ro­driguez and Frances Vasquezproceeded to introduce each musical selection in Spanish and English with clever witti­cisms and tales from the life of Agustin Lara. The opening selection was a short recording of Mi Novia, played on the piano and sung by Lara himself. This elicited a sentimental sigh from the audience.

IMPACTO - 2000

INS Raids Denounced At a press conference held on Friday,

March 29, 1990 in San Bemardino, IMPACTO-2000 leaders bitterly de­nounced the recent raids and sweeps conducted by the Border Patrol as negatively impacting the ceasus count. Dr. Armando Navarro, National Presi­dent of IMPACTO-20(X), stated "We are angry and dismayed that at such a critical time when so many people, organizations, agencies, churches, etc. are working so hard to convince the undocumented and others who are dis-tmstful of the census process to partici­pate, the Border Patrol has chosen to come in to our community like storm troopers spreading their contagion of fear, hence disrupting and impeding a fuU census count" Navarro added, "recognizing the im­

portance of an accurate census coimt, IMPACTO-2000 is calling for a na­tional moratorium on border Patrol raids and sweeps of our communities until at least April 15,1990. IMPACTO-2000 representatives ex­

plained that they have been and will continue to be in contact with numer­ous Congressman, U.S. Senators, INS Commissioner, and President Bush concerning the moratorium request. Juan Jose Gutierrez, National Secre­

tary of IMPACTC)-2000 and Executive

Director of One-Stop Immigration, fur­ther explained that IMPACTO's posi­tion on the moratorium is based on Latinos again not realizing an accurate census count. He said, "Latinos, like other minorities cannot afford an under-count since its going to have a very serious effect on the allocation of fed­eral revenues for services and programs and additional political representatirai." At the press conference. Dr. Navamo

introduced two 17 year old Colombian bom San Bemardino High School stu­dents who alleged they were appre­hended by the Border Patrol on Tues­day, March 27, 1990 near the high school for being in this country ille­gally even though the students pre­sented to the Border Patrol officers their green cards. After being threat­ened with a gun and driven aroimd for some three hours they were released by the Border Patrol on the condition that they would,not report this to anyone.

Russell Juarequi, Spokesperson for Inland Counties Latino Lawyers Asso­ciations said, "this incident coupled with the recent raids in Ontario and Los Angeles, especially LAX Airport, ai« illustrative of how the Border Patrol is hampering the census taking efforts among immigrants."

Mexico's President Salinas Remains Enigma By: Richard Salvatierra

The dramatic changes of political scenery in Eastern Europe - the cnim-bling of one Communist regime after another - understandably is having a profound affect on the future of that part of the world. The changes also will influence the

political future of practically every other country of the world, and not least those of Latin America where democ­racy always has been a fragile com­modity. In this sense, perhaps the most interesting of all Latin American coun­tries to be watching today is none other than Mexico, where the traditionally dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) faces increasing challenge, and ever-louder demands that it open

up the political process in an entirely honest way. President Carlos Salinas de Gortari,

who won office with just 50.7 percent of the popular vote - a figure ques­tioned by opposition parties - knows full well that the Mexican Revolution has run its course and that it is just as obsolete as that of the Soviet Union. And he knows that Mexico, now more than ever, must become a part of die democratic trend sweeping across all frontiers. Sixteen months into his six-year term, Salinas is feeling those pressures but reacting to them in a puzzling, ambiva­lent way. He has spoken about Mexico's "out­

moded" past and of the "dogma" that has hindered the nation's growth. He has declared that the country is leaving behind the "outmoded view that con­fused being progressive with being statist." Salinas has said he wants to continue "the modernization" of the electoral process, a reference perhaps to a few concessions made by the PRI in con­nection with the elections of July 1988, and he has encouraged Mexicans to "adopt a new political culture." On the other hand, he has pointed out

that the political and economic reforms he is seeking should not be taken to mean that "we (have) moved away from

the basic principles of the Mexican Revolution...Modernization is the means to make the Revolution endure." That statement could have been made by one of his predecessors, the left-leaning Luis Echcverria. Although Salinas has paved the way

for more flexible rules regarding for­eign private investment and has taken steps to reduce government control of industry, it is fairly obvious he has no intention of going all the way, so to speak. According to him, government definitely wiU continue to keep its hands on the nation's "strategic" industries, such as railroads, petroleum, electrical energy and the rails. Their nationaliza­tion many years ago, he emphasizes, remains "irreversible." The acid test of Salinas' promise to

move toward faster and greater politi­cal "modernization" (a euphemism for democratization) probably will come in the summer of 1991, when midterm elections are to be held for several governorships, for seats in some state legislatures and seats in the national Congress. Leaders of the main opposition party, file right-of-center National Action Party (PAN), express doubt that those midteim elections will be totally hon­est, especially because the government will continue to control the electoral process. A significant breakthrough was the

election, in July 1988, of a PAN candi­date for, the govemprship of Baja Cali­fornia, Carlos Ruffo Apple. This was the first time in more than a half-cen­tury of rule by the PRI that it had allowed a governorship to go to an op­

position party. Salinas has taken a number of dra­

matic steps in his first 16 months in office, including the firings of three governors (all in states that didn't vote for him); he has gone after drug lords and clipped the winds of some labor leaders; he has been instrumental in drastically reducing inflation; and he has helped set U.S. - Mexico relations on a smoother course than hereto^j|||. Yet, so far, SaHnas remains somethmg of an enigma, and particularly in the context of all of the far-reaching changes taking place in Eastern Europe. One may assume his ambivalence reflects noting more than an effort to placate orthodox members of his party. But we don't know for sure. Only time may tell, maybe after mid-1991, where he really stands.

Dr. Ernest Garcia, President of the Sinfonia Mexicana Committee, issued the following statement:

"The 5th Sinfonia Mexicana, which was a tribute to Agustin Lara, one of the most famous composers in Latin America, was a sellout success and an outstanding evening of musical enjoyment. The audiences' re­sponse to each selection and encore was in­dicative of the appreciation for Maestro Lara's compositions. The Sinfonia Mexi­cana Committee wishes to thank the com­munities throughout Southern California for their support. We will be looking for­ward to continuing this fine musical enter­tainment. Many of you expressed an inter­est in working with the Sinfonia Mexicana Committee for our next Sinfonia Mexicana on April 6, 1991. Please call the Inland Empire Symphony Association office at (714) 381-5388 for further information. Gracias por su ayuda."

25th Anniversary of San Bernardino County Head Start Celebrated On April 5,1990, The County of San Bernardino celebrated the 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HEAD START PROGRAM at the National Orange Show. The Head Start Program was officially started in May 18, 1965 by President Johnson. The President stated that "the Program was to rescue these children from the poverty which otherwise could pursue them aU their lives. The project was designed to put them on an even footing with their classmates as they enter school." The idea for the program had come in 1962 from the President's Panel on Mental Retardation, which proposed such a program for children with retar­dation. By early 1965, the idea had taken hold among people concemed with early childhood education. Throughout the United States, there was concurrence that disadvantaged children needed stimulation and sup­port in educational, social, and intel­lectual areas. Also of importance was health care;

the new program could intervene to check children's eyes, ears, and immu­nization status. Another key feature was the program's emphasis on involve­ment of parents with child in local programs. Perhaps the most innovative feature of the program was that, instead of re­cruiting those children from poverty who were most likely to succeed, Head Start reached out to the 55 poorest counties in the nation, to children who would usually be least likely to be re­cruited. They were the first of many other children and families who have benefited from participation in Head Start. The program today is remarkably like it was at its inception. Sophistication has come in many program areas, and Head Start has learned from experi­ence. Yet, it still reaches out to the poorest children, health care is still pro­vided along with education, and par­ents are considered important partici­pants in the program. In its 25 years. Head Start has become

an important landmark in the social, educational, health policy areas. Head Start is part of the social fabric of our country, and the program is still grow­ing, stiU producing "Head Start success stories" of the Head Start children who went on to become lawyers, teachers, or other types of professionals.

The over all goal of the Head Start program, nationally and in San Bernar­dino County, is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in chil­dren of low income families. By social competence is meant the child's every­day effectiveness in dealing with both present environment and later respon­sibilities in school and life. Social competence takes into account the inter-relatedness of cognitive and intellec­tual development, physical and mental health, nutritional needs, and other factors that enable a developmental approach to helping children achieve social competence. Since 1965, the Preschool Services

Department in San Bernardino has served children and families in the

Sinfonia Mexicana -The first piece - Three Mexican

Waltzes, arranged for orchestra by Manuel Enriquez, was pure fun - a bit fragmented, Hollywoodian and even reminiscent of Johann Strauss, defi­nitely convert waltzes and not intended for dancing. Agustin Lara's Suite, based on his

themes and composed by Mateo Oliva, was a tour de force - a lilting, colorful tribute that was Uliva's own work in spite of his thematic sources and it concluded with a brilliant orchestra­tion of the popular song "Granada" with some orientalism and all the pas­sion of a bull fight. There was some excellent playing by Karen Togashi (piccolo) and Grant Hungerford (trum­pet). The crowd was ecstatic and it was

a most appropriate first half closer. After intermission, the audience was

treated to two of Lara's songs - "Noche de Ronda" and "Granada," performed beautifully by Maestro Refugio "Ernie" Gomez, known to local mu.sical lovers as a fine musician and conductor of the Canto Bello Chorale. Little did we know he possessed such a fine, lyric baritone voice. He also orchestrated the compo­sitions along with Daniel Garcia BlaiKO. Intermezzo followed by Manuel M.

Ponce, arranged for orchestra by Mario Kuri-Aldana. This lovely piano rhap­sody found new color and excitement in its orchestrated version. The final selection was Noche Tibia y Callada by Mario Kuii-Aldana, enjoy­ing its first world-wide performance (it

Continued from Page 1 was commission by the Inland Empire Symphony Association). This exciting composition, based on Lara's themes, utilized various instrumental solos which were beautifully rendered by Tamsen Beseke-Brenton (concertmas-ter-violin). Grant Hungerford (trum­pet), Loren Marsteller (trombone), John Ralston (English horn), Leslie Stratton (harp), Paul Stevens (French horn) and a quintet of diligent percussionists, plus Michael Tacchia with some salsa of his own on the piano. This was the most "serious" woik on

the program. Although such a popular Lara melody as "You Belong to My Heart" was immediately recognizable and other pop melodies and rhythms tended to lighten the work, it was a

composition of classical intent and beautifully orchestrated - almost Rimsky-Korsakovian in its brilliant color and texture.

Unsure that the concert had really ended, the audience at first responded with polite applause and then burst into thunderous applause. This resulted in a brilliant encore - "Huapango" by Pablo Moncayo - and the audience simply went wild with a standing ovation. A lovely reception ensued at the

Mahal (S.B. County Government Center) with tasty refreshments, a dis­play of Yolanda Santa Cruz Gasca's own photographic artistry and a gath­ering of the community, which heartily agreed that this was, indeed, "una no­che inolvidable!"
