"Our job today is to clean up, pre-pare and paint the fence," said asmiling Bob Wells, president of theEvening Kiwanis Club. "And theweather couldn't be any better. Itusually gets warm around this time.It's perfect."Community Day of Service ismarked annually in town on thefourth Saturday of each month tohelp projects in need.Hillside was selected alongsidetwo other projects in Redlands -Community Baseball Fields andHeritage Park - and one in High-land to benefit from the cleanupwhich is organized annuallythrough a collaboration with theRedlands Service Clubs Counciland the Redlands stake of the JesusChrist of Latter-day Saints.Over 2,000 were expected to vol-

unteer their time during the multi-hour cleanup. Many opted to takeon projects that would last the dayin one spot in Hillside, while otherstook on smaller projects that wouldtake them to other parts of thecemetery.City councilmembers were notafraid to get their hands dirty along-side volunteers, especially MayorPaul Foster who was given the taskto paint a fence at cemetery's en-trance.He chuckled as he described theexperience, but carried a serioustone when remarking on the entireday which he said personified whatit is to be a Redlander."The word 'amazing' is the rightword. I've said before as we travelaround to other communities... peo-ple will often ask me how doesRedlands do this? How do you

have 2,000, 3,000 people come out(to volunteer). And the truth is, I re-ally don't really know what to tellthem. It's just what we do in Red-lands. Volunteerism is what you'rebred with in your DNA when you

move in. I think it's really unique inour community that you can turnout this many people in one day.And look at what you can accom-plish," he said.Councilmember John James

agreed."It's very exciting. And it's kind ofhumbling to be on the council toknow all these people are here," hesaid. "This is quite rewarding, hum-bling to see all of this."

staff, council members and mem-bers of the Street Tree Committee."Heritage Park is a prime exam-

ple of the city's commitment andwill to be a tree community. We arecertainly facing challenges withthis drought that the state is facing,but with the help of all of our citi-

zens, our residents, our communityhere, we are going to be able toweather this storm and yet keep thethriving urban forest that we haveand value as a community," saidMayor Paul Foster.The planting of the trees beganshortly after 4 p.m. with the diggingof two holes where the trees wouldstand.Members of the committeeworked alongside city staff to digdeep and wide enough to ensureplanting was a success.Once the trees were in place, aceremony commemorating the oc-casion began with the reading of aproclamation observing the holi-day, which is celebrated with pub-lic tree plantings across the country.The day is typically celebrated inApril or May.Dozens of trees are planted inRedlands each year to celebrateArbor Day. Plans were changed be-cause of the ongoing drought af-fecting the entire state. TheCalifornia sycamore and palo verdewere selected because they have agood chance withstanding the cur-rent dry climate, according to eventorganizers.Redlands alone is trying to de-crease its water usage by 36 percent- several percentage above theasked amount by state officials, ex-plained Mayor Paul Foster.The trees planted at Heritage Parklast were donated by West CoastArborists, according to a news re-lease.

Community celebrates Earth Day, reopening ofNicholson Community Center and Fruit Garden

By MJ Duncan

Over 100 communitymembers gathered at thefirst annual Earth Day

celebration at Nicholson ParkCommunity Center and Fruit Gar-den in San Bernardino on Satur-day, as well as mark the softreopening of the center, which hasbeen intermittently closed duringthe years. The Incredible EdibleCommunity Garden, ServingProud Industries and YouthBuildInland Empire hosted the event. Eleanor Torres, co-executive di-rector of IECG along with MaryPetit, explained that their non-profit organization and YouthBuildhave signed a 5-year-lease for thecenter and are excited to offer overa dozen programs to the Westsidecommunity such as parentingclasses, job programs, anger/alco-hol management, boxing, baseballand crochet, to name a few.“We are trying to bring a beaconof light to a community that has re-ally struggled,” Torres said. “Youdon’t see this kind of program-ming in disadvantaged areas.” 98 percent of the students in theNicholson Community receivefree or reduced lunch through theschool district.Torres hailed city leaders forbeing extraordinarily helpful andsupportive of their endeavor to re-open the community center, espe-cially Charlie Jacobs, chair ofParks & Rec., who had tirelesslytried to establish a community gar-den over the last decade. The pro-grams are likely to be initiatedwithin the month.The fruit garden at NicholsonPark is the first of its kind in thecity.“It’s very heartening to be able tobring resources to SanBernardino,” Torres added. “Thisis a great opportunity to engage thecommunity.”Torres estimates $42,000 worthof pro bono and in-kind servicesthat the Nicholson community hasinvested in their community centerand garden, proof of the commu-nity’s commitment that she sayspolicy makers need to acknowl-edge. “The community is takingreal action in making a healthier,greener San Bernardino.”

On Saturday guests enjoyed anabundance of food through thecommunity potluck and barbeque,entertainment by Aztec dancersDanza de Azlan, live music, llamapetting zoo and hay rides. SanBernardino City Mayor R. CareyDavis and 6th Ward CouncilmanRikke Van Johnson were in atten-dance.“Earth Day is about bringing

greater awareness to the environ-mental needs and caring for ourearth in light of climate change,”Torres concluded.A grand opening of NicholsonPark Community Center and FruitGarden will be held at a later dateyet to be determined. The centeris located at 2750 W. 2nd Street inSan Bernardino.

Forget all the articles you'veever read that purport toexplain why we celebrate

Cinco de Mayo in the UnitedStates. They've got it all wrong.It's not about celebrating a vic-tory in a battle on the fifth of Mayin 1862, in the City of Puebla, inthe country of Mexico. It's notabout honoring poor and un-trained peasants who, though farout-numbered, defeated soldiersfrom what was then the greatestmilitary force in the world, theFrench Army.No, it is not about that, and it isnot about recent immigrants, ei-ther. It is about us, those of uswho were born here, whose par-ents, grandparents, and greatgrandparents came to this countrylong, long ago. It is about us asAmerican citizens who have beenmarginalized socially and eco-nomically, a people who have hadto wrench their rights and privi-leges from an unwilling populacethrough the force of law. It isabout those of us who, until onlythe most recent of times, were notincluded in this country's historybooks.We celebrate the Cinco deMayo, not in recognition of a bat-tle in another nation, but to battlefor recognition in this nation—recognition that we are equal toall others in intellect and good-ness, that we represent a positiveelement in American society. Weseek recognition so that our chil-dren's potential will be allowed toflourish, that we will be givenequal opportunity in the work-force and leadership of this na-tion, goals that statistics confirmwe have not yet achieved. Finally,we connect to a battle in the his-tory of our forefathers because we

need appreciation for the contri-bution we have made to this coun-try.For example, when we cele-brated the 25th anniversary of theend of the Vietnam War, our localnewspaper observed that day bypublishing four full pages of sto-ries about men who served inVietnam. I read names like Kim-ball, White, Stenzler, Russell,Kaufman, Lockwood. I didn't finda single Sanchez, Lopez, Gonza-les.We are all familiar with the Viet-nam War statistics, that nearly60,000 men and women lost theirlives in the battlefields of thatcountry, that nearly one in everyfive of those combatants was aHispanic soldier. Recognition ofthe Hispanic contribution to theVietnam War would have takennothing from the recognitiongiven to other war heroes. Yet, notone, not one Garcia, Rodriguez, orNuñez was mentioned in our localnewspaper's four pages of cover-age.This matters. What is reported intoday's press is significant be-cause today's newspaper article istomorrow's historical document.If today's periodicals mentiononly the crimes Hispanics commitand the failures they experience,that is all that the world will knowabout us. If our deeds are not ap-plauded, if our achievements arenot celebrated, if our contributionto this nation is not lauded today,our grandchildren will have noth-ing to honor about us tomorrow.We celebrate Cinco de Mayo be-cause we have a need for heroes,not just because heroes do greatand glorious things, but becausewe see them as people like us. Infinding commonalties with them,we draw courage, inspiration, anda belief in ourselves as worthyhuman beings. So, we reach backa century and a half. We reachsouth 2,000 miles, south to the he-roes of another nation, of anothertime. We connect to the weak andthe brave in a place far away in amoment long ago, for we see intheir struggle and in their victorysomething within us, the potentialfor victory against great odds, thepotential to contribute historically,significantly to this nation.Our battle for recognition is noteasy. There are those who suggestthat Hispanics are unpatriotic, thatwe are not loyal Americans be-cause on this day, we wave a flagfrom another country. Such peo-ple must be reminded that there isno disloyalty to this nation in hon-oring our roots in the same wayIrish Americans do on St. Patrick'sDay and that German Americansdo during Octoberfest. All Amer-

icans must recognize that whatmakes this nation great is that it is,and we are, red, white, blue—andbrown, and that no group's loyaltyto this country is minimized bycelebrating its heritage.Part of the battle for recognitioninvolves the fact that to many peo-ple in this nation, we are not“real” Americans. It is a sad factthat while many of us are genera-tions removed from being immi-grants, too many Hispanics arestill generations away from beingseen as “real” Americans.My family, like yours, exempli-fies this. My husband, TomRivera, was born 75 years ago. Inthe same house in which his fatherwas born. In Colton. In California.In the United States. Yet, to manyof our neighbors, we are and al-ways will be, their "Mexican"'neighbors. I ask, and we should allask, how many generations mustwe produce in order for our peo-ple to be considered real, fullAmericans? As long as we are notviewed as such, we will neither bethe neighbor of choice nor thecoveted employee.If Hispanics are to achieverecognition in this nation, I be-lieve that we must achieve threegoals.First, we must learn to like our-selves. People who do not likethemselves, who have no respectfor their own kind, allow them-selves to be trampled. Americahas a history of giving disenfran-chised people equal treatmentonly as a result of being forced todo so by this nation's courts. Un-less we respect ourselves enoughto speak up for ourselves, we willnot fully enjoy the fruits of Amer-ican citizenship.Self-love begins by touching ourpast. We should learn how ourforefathers came to this nation, thestruggles they endured, the sacri-fices they made. We would bewise to visit the land of our an-cestors, plant our feet where theyonce walked, bathe in the riversthat watered their crops. Weshould stand before the pyramidsbuilt by the Aztecs and the tem-ples created by the Mayans andmarvel at their spectacular engi-neering feats. It is through thetouching of our past that we ac-quire the knowledge that leads toself-esteem.Secondly, we must pledge tomove ourselves beyond the“firsts.” We take great pride inhaving a first Hispanic doctor, afirst Hispanic mayor, a first His-panic congressman. These arecommendable achievements, Iagree. But, we should also beashamed. Our forefathers foundedthis entire region and many of the

Cinco de Mayo:A Battle forRecognition

This congressionalsession, by denyingclimate science anddecrying lifesavingEPA safeguards, theRepublican led Senatedid all they could topush forward policiesthat pay off the BigPolluters that supporttheir campaigns.These attacks gut keyprograms that protectour air and water, crip-ple crucial efforts totackle the climate cri-sis, and underminehard-fought victoriesto protect the health ofour families. But Sen-ator Barbara Boxerstepped up to the platefor Californians, not

big polluters.

Californians, espe-cially those of us inthe Inland Empire,have already seen theeffects of climate dis-ruption first-hand inour communities, asthe burning of dirtyfossil fuels has givenus some of the worstair quality in the na-tion. As Senator Boxerknows, Congress is noplace to do the bid-ding of big polluters,and she has doneeverything she couldto keep California’scommunities healthyand safe. SenatorBoxer has stood up for

our communities, forclean air, and againstbig polluters, continu-ally voting to upholdhard fought safe-guards to protect ourpublic health and de-manding climate ac-tion.

I applaud SenatorBoxer for going up tobat against dangerouslegislation and pro-tecting what’s mostimportant: the healthof Californian fami-lies.

major cities in California more than 200 years ago. Yet, it is only inthe very recent past that we have been able to celebrate the first mayor,the first… We should be ashamed that we have not worked harder to im-prove our lot, have not pushed ourselves to greater achievements.In our push for progress, we must be prepared to make sacrifices, justas our forefathers did. We, too, must risk. We must get involved in thesocial, educational and political processes of this nation, no matter howmuch failure and resentment we encounter. We may not succeed, but ourfailure, our experience, will become a steppingstone for the path thatothers can follow.Thirdly, if we are to gain recognition and assure our full participationin this land, we must speak out against injustice and inequality. Whenpeople are arrested, they are reminded that they have the right to remainsilent. But the American Civil Liberties Union reminds us of a far greaterright—the right not to remain silent. We must exercise that right and nothesitate to address loudly and frequently the issues that prohibit us fromdeveloping our full potential and sharing our talents with this great na-tion.One hundred fifty-three years ago, at the end of what we now call theCinco do Mayo Battle, its leader, General Ignacio Zaragoza, wrote tothe Minister of Defense in Mexico City to report his soldiers’ victory. Hewrote:“Las armas nacionales se han cubierto de gloria…puedo afirmar conorgullo que ni un momento volvio la espalda al enemigo el ejcrcito mex-icano.”“I delight,” he wrote, “in informing you that the armies of this countryhave covered themselves in glory. I can confirm with pride that not forone second did any soldier retreat; not for a moment did our militaryturn its back to the enemy to run away in defeat.” And neither must we... whether the enemy is ourselves or an unjust system.True victory in this battle for recognition lies not just in our personalacademic and financial success. A minority of successful Hispanics isnot proof that we have achieved parity as a people. The battle will onlybe won when Hispanics no longer remain at the top of the dropout list,the prison population, and the unemployment lines. We must continue tocelebrate Cinco de Mayo without apologies until the day when HispanicAmericans stand truly equal to all other Americans.

Words to Think About: Interpretationsand Messages of the Bible

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

Statistics show that moreBibles are sold every yearthan any other book. The

Muslims respect the contents ofthe Bible and about one third ofthe Koran gives reference to Abra-ham, Hagar, Ishmael, Mary,Joseph and Jesus.The major benefit of the Bible isthat it speaks to and has a messagefor everyone. The major problemis that many readers of the Bible“Cherry pick” what they want tobelieve. It is interpreted with abias.Every minister does that, includ-ing Pope Francis and me. Manydenominations are based on se-lected verses. For example a majorsect denies a basic Christian beliefof the Trinity. The word is NOTfound in the New Testament.To refute this heresy the Epistleof I John 5:7 says, “for there arethree that bear record in heaven,the Father, the Word (Jesus), andthe Holy Ghost, and these threeare ONE.”Another verse that causes greatconsternation for many believersis Galatians 4:24. These wordswere penned by the Apostle Paul,the founder of Christianity.“Which things are an ALLE-GORY, for these are the twocovenants; the one from the mountSinai. . .” An allegory is similar toa parable or a myth. Allegories arestories that contain truths. Like thestory of the Prodigal Son and theGood Samaritan that were told byJesus.Several Israeli Bible scholars re-fute a literal belief in the Old Tes-tament. Sadat, the President ofEgypt that was martyred, declaredthat Egyptian history did not indi-cate that Jews were ever there, asfree or slaves. What would the tableau of themanger be without the Wisemenor Magi? But they were neverthere (manger) with the shepherds,the angels and Mary, Joseph andJesus. Matthew 2:11 says “Whenthey (the Magi) were come intothe house, - not the manger or theInn-they saw the young child,“with Mary His mother.”Isaiah 7:14 does not say in theoriginal Hebrew, “a young virginshall conceive.” It uses the wordalmah, which means “youngwoman” not virgin. The Hebrewword for virgin is bethulah. Inci-dentally, every Roman emperorprofessed his mother was a virgin.Including Alexander the Great. The Apostle Paul never mentionsthe virgin birth of Jesus in any of

his writings. The Gospels of Markand John do not mention it. Nei-ther do any of the General Epistlesor the Book of Revelation. Moreimportantly, neither does Jesus.Only the Gospels of Matthew andLuke mention it.You can probably quote John3:16. It is the most popular versein the New Testament; but mostbelievers misunderstand it. For in-stance, the word God is the an-tecedent for everything in theverse and even in John 3:17, Godis the doer. He is responsible foreverything including Jesus.The word God has many syn-onymies. Jehovah, Elohim, Yah-weh, Allah and what Paul Tillichreferred to as “the Ground of ourbeing.”It is one’s belief in God that de-termines the promise of everlast-ing life.

The promise is universal and isbased on God’s love for everyone.(the world)From the Apostle Paul’s writingsit is obvious that he is a misogy-nist-“one who hates or mistrustswomen.” Women’s hair is theirglory and it implies it shouldn’t becut. Women should be silent in thechurch. The adornment should bechaste-no makeup or jewelry.Above all women must be sub-servient to their husband.In the Epistle of Philemon, hesends a slave, Onesimus, back tohis owner-Philemon. Paul alsowrites that Christians should sup-port their national leaders. Hewould have opposed the Revolu-tionary and Civil wars in ourcountry.In Romans, chapter 8, Paul cate-gorically says that God predes-tines each person to be saved or

lost. Free will is eliminated.Christmas has an interesting his-tory. Before Constantine deter-mined Christianity to be thereligion of Rome, the god Mithra’sbirthday was celebrated on De-cember 25. The date 336 A.D. wasthe first time Christmas was cele-brated on December 25 by Chris-tians. On 350 A.D. Pope Julius Ideclared December 25 to be theofficial birthdate of Jesus. Furtherapproval was made by the Councilof Tours in 567 A. D.What about the second return ofJesus? Coupled with I John 5:7,the Trinity, with all three, Father,Son and Holy Spirit, being one,and John 1:1, “In the beginningwas the Word (Jesus) and theWord (Jesus) was with God, andthe Word (Jesus) was God,” is ob-vious that the coming of the HolySpirit on the Day of Pentecost

(Acts 2) was Jesus in the form ofthe third person of the Trinity.That is when Jesus returned thesecond time.Paul was an obvious plagiarist,

which was common for all authorsin ancient times. Dr. J. GordonHynes, professor at Redlands Uni-versity, before his death, receivedhis Ph.D. in 1936. In it, he cata-logs over 200 instances whenPaul-in his writings-copied liter-ally or paraphrased Greek ideasfrom Plato, Aristotle, Seneca andthe Greek poets. In fact, the lovechapter, First Corinthians 13 is al-most completely copied from theGreek poets.One final thought. I am a Chris-tian, a believer. The precedingcomments, in no way jeopardizemy faith, and hopefully not yours.Amen. Selah. So be it.

Gary Smith competed vs. Popovich, Budenholzerat U of R; mentored by Adair at SBHS

By Harvey M. Kahn

Gary Smith didn't just pro-duce winning basketballteams at the University of

Redlands for 36 years, he more im-portantly made the game fun forhis players and entertaining for thefans. Smith could have producedmore than three league titles at theU of R if he would have main-tained the traditional slow-down

style. His 2005 team still holds thenational scoring record by averag-ing 132 points per game.Smith, 73, retired from Univer-

sity of Redlands in 2007, but therecent passing of former SanBernardino High School basket-ball coach Dick Adair brings tomind their association. Likewise itbrings to mind Smith's associationwith Gregg Popovich, whose SanAntonio Spurs are currently play-ing the Los Angeles Clippers inquest of their sixth NBA champi-onship. Adair, who died on April 9, hired

Smith in 1967 to coach the juniorvarsity at San Bernardino HighSchool. Four years later Smithbegan his long career at U of R,where he and Popovich coachedagainst each other from 1979 to1988 when Popovich was coach atPomona-Pitzer College. Both Di-vision III colleges competed in theSouthern California InterscholasticConference (SCIAC) and it was U.of R who usually defeated thePopovich-led team. Smith and his family now live in

Davis, CA, where he remains ac-tive by assisting at SacramentoState, UC Davis and with youthdevelopmental leagues. Smith saidthe thought of Popovich advancingto the NBA never crossed his mindback then, but said he admires"Pops" progression in becomingone of the top-5 winningest

coaches in NBA history. Smith named three coaches in

the SCIAC at the time who hethought had a better chance to ad-vance. "He (Popovich) was justone of the guys." Smith thoughthighly of fellow SCIAC coachesBrian Newhall, Dave Jacobs andDavid Wells. Smith creditedPopovich with bringing dignity toPomona-Pitzer after leading it tothe 1986 SCIAC title, its first in 68years.Smith said it was not a fair ques-

tion to ask if he was ever offered achance to coach professionally. "Ifsomeone had offered it to me, I'mnot sure that I would have enjoyedit. My family liked it in Redlands.When you listen to offers to assistin the NBA, the salary just doesn'tgo with the job. It was never thedesire of the other coaches in ourleague to go pro either." Smith said favorable events for

Popovich were due in part from hisfriendship with veteran coachLarry Brown. Smith attributesPopovich's current success to hisability to create an atmospherewhere foreign players can thrive."He was the first to bring in for-eign players. Look at his roster. Al-most everyone is from anothercountry and he has been able to getthem to work as a team."

After being named to the 1960All-Orange County basketball 1stteam as a point guard from Hunt-

ington Beach High, Smith contin-ued to have a decorated playingcareer under former U. of R coachLee Fulmer. He was twice namedto the All-NAIA District 1st teamand was an All-American honor-able mention. In 1963, he led theentire nation with a 90.9% freethrow average. Along with his in-duction into the University of Red-lands basketball hall of fame,Smith had the school's basketballcourt named after him. He wastwice awarded by the National As-sociation of Basketball Coachesand was picked five times to vari-ous coach-of-the-year honors. In2011, he co-authored the ac-claimed instructional book titled,Coaching the System.Smith was able to rattle off a long

list of his former players from

SBHS and Redlands that go backnearly 50 years. Remel Diggs,Rick Goodloe, Billy Wilson, PaulHobbs and Dick Adair's son, Greg.He coached current CIF StateCommissioner Roger Blake atSBHS. "Dick Adair was a classyperson. I actually learned moreabout basketball by watching DickAdair than from watching PaulPopovich," said Smith.Current U. of R coach Jim Ducey

played for Smith from 1975-78.Ducey also studied basketballtraining from Popovich in San An-tonio. Besides Popovich, Smith'steams played Pomona-Pitzer whencurrent NBA coach of the yearMike Budenhozer was on theteam. Former Memphis GrizzliesCEO Jason Levien was also onthat 1993 team.

The History of Cinco de Mayo: Battle of Puebla

Cinco de Mayo—or thefifth of May—commemo-rates the Mexican army’s

1862 victory over France at theBattle of Puebla during theFranco-Mexican War (1861-1867).A relatively minor holiday in Mex-ico, in the United States Cinco deMayo has evolved into a celebra-tion of Mexican culture and her-itage, particularly in areas withlarge Mexican-American popula-tions. Cinco de Mayo traditions in-clude parades, mariachi musicperformances and street festivalsin cities and towns across Mexicoand the United States.In 1861 the liberal Mexican Ben-ito Juárez (1806-1872) becamepresident of a country in financialruin, and he was forced to defaulton his debts to European govern-ments. In response, France, Britainand Spain sent naval forces to Ve-racruz to demand reimbursement.Britain and Spain negotiated withMexico and withdrew, but France,ruled by Napoleon III (1808-1873), decided to use the opportu-nity to carve a dependent empireout of Mexican territory. Late in1861, a well-armed French fleetstormed Veracruz, landing a large

French force and driving PresidentJuárez and his government into re-treat.Certain that success would comeswiftly, 6,000 French troops underGeneral Charles Latrille deLorencez (1814-1892) set out toattack Puebla de Los Angeles, asmall town in east-central Mexico.From his new headquarters in thenorth, Juárez rounded up a rag-tagforce of 2,000 loyal men—manyof them either indigenous Mexi-cans or of mixed ancestry—andsent them to Puebla. Led by Texas-born General Ignacio Zaragoza(1829-1862), the vastly outnum-bered and poorly supplied Mexi-cans fortified the town andprepared for the French assault. OnMay 5, 1862, Lorencez drew hisarmy, well provisioned and sup-ported by heavy artillery, beforethe city of Puebla and led an as-sault from the north. The battlelasted from daybreak to earlyevening, and when the French fi-nally retreated they had lost nearly500 soldiers. Fewer than 100 Mex-icans had been killed in the clash.Although not a major strategicwin in the overall war against theFrench, Zaragoza’s success at

Puebla represented a great sym-bolic victory for the Mexican gov-ernment and bolstered theresistance movement. Six yearslater—thanks in part to militarysupport and political pressure fromthe United States, which was fi-nally in a position to aid its be-sieged neighbor after the end of theCivil War—France withdrew. Thesame year, Austrian Archduke Fer-dinand Maximilian, who had beeninstalled as emperor of Mexico byNapoleon in 1864, was capturedand executed by Juárez’s forces.Puebla de Los Angeles was re-named for General Zaragoza, whodied of typhoid fever months afterhis historic triumph there.

CINCO DE MAYO IN MEXICOWithin Mexico, Cinco de Mayois primarily observed in the stateof Puebla, where Zaragoza’s un-likely triumph occurred, althoughother parts of the country also takepart in the celebration. Traditionsinclude military parades, recre-ations of the Battle of Puebla andother festive events. For manyMexicans, however, May 5 is aday like any other: It is not a fed-eral holiday, so offices, banks and

stores remain open.

CINCO DE MAYO IN THEUNITED STATESIn the United States, Cinco deMayo is widely interpreted as acelebration of Mexican culture andheritage, particularly in areas withsubstantial Mexican-Americanpopulations. Chicano activistsraised awareness of the holiday inthe 1960s, in part because theyidentified with the victory of in-digenous Mexicans over Europeaninvaders during the Battle ofPuebla.
