Hillar y Clinton
first female
presidential nominee
VOL 19 No. 38
The champ Muhammad Ali
is gone … his legacy lives on
El campeón Muhammad Ali se
ha ido ... su legado sigue vivo
It was a big night for Hillary Clinton as she secured enough votes
to win the Democratic party’s nomination for president. After her
victory she told her supporters, “It may be hard to see tonight,
but we are all standing under a glass ceiling right now.”
Muhammad Ali was a professional boxer, widely regarded as one of the most significant
and celebrated sporting figures of the 20th century.

Irene Caudillo believes now that Hillary Clinton has been
nominated by her party, it confirms her teaching to her girls. “I
have raised my twin girls to believe they can do anything they
dream by setting goals and working hard.”
by Joe Arce
E
arly Tuesday morning, as
voters took to the polls in
several key states around
the
country,
Hillary
Clinton had already clinched
the Democratic nomination for
the office of President of the
United States, becoming the
first woman to be nominated
for the highest office of the
land. There were no early
celebrations for her. Clinton
wanted to wait until the other
states had the opportunity to
vote for their candidates on
Super Tuesday.
As early as Monday night
she became aware from news
reports that she had reached
the milestone. She told her
supporters in California,“I
got to tell you, according
to the news, we are on the
brink of a historic, historic,
unprecedented moment, but
we still have work to do, don’t
we?” We have six elections
tomorrow (Tuesday), and
we’re going to fight hard for
every single vote, especially
right here in California.”
Sanders, who was also in
California, didn’t acknowledge
that Clinton had clinched the
nomination. Locally, people
took notice of the news reports
claiming Clinton had clinched
the nomination.
Kansas City, Kansas resident
Irene Caudillo told Hispanic
News, “I am motivated and
excited at the Democratic
Party’s nomination. The real
work happens now as we
work to defeat the presumptive
nominee for the Republican
Party. This election needs to
be less about gender, race,
and stereotypes that divide
us, and more about the issues
that affect us all as a country.
Hillary Clinton’s platform has
been consistent on issues
important to me and I am
happy to continue supporting
her and the party.”
Caudillo called the moment
historic, noting it has been over
100 years since women won
the right to vote for a woman
to become the nominee of a
major presidential party.
“As a woman, I am excited
this country stands behind a
competent,
knowledgeable
nominee who supports issues
like healthcare, education,
and immigration reform just to
name few. She can and will
get things done and happens
to be a woman. This says to
all women and the country
what women have known for a
long time, we can do anything
a man can do.
“I have raised my twin
girls to believe they can do
anything they dream by setting
goals and working hard. I
ask them to see their parents,
grandparents
and
family
members as the best examples
of achievement and not let
negative remarks or people
hold them back. This is a
special time because in their
15 years of living, they have
seen a person of color and
soon a woman take the highest
elected office in this country
– President of the United
States. It is special because
they are witnessing history
with little or no awareness
of the discrimination against
diverse groups to get to this
point. Sadly though, we have
spoken about the hate and
discrimination coming from
the other side, but we remain
positive,” added Caudillo.
In her victory speech
in Brooklyn, NY, Hillary
Clinton told thousands of her
supporters, “Thanks to you,
we’ve reached a milestone.
Tonight’s victory is not about
one person. It belongs to
generations of women and
men who struggled and
sacrificed and made this
moment possible. It may be
hard to see tonight, but we
are all standing under a glass
ceiling right now.”

NEWS IN BRIEF
Alleged sexual
assault in bathroom
KCMO police are investigating an alleged
sexually assault on a 12-year-old girl in a bathroom
at the Tony Aguirre Community Center. According
to the young girl, she is saying two teenage boys
touched her inappropriately and would not let her
leave. According to police the young boys told them
that the girl went into the bathroom voluntarily, but
they denied touching her. The incident took place
during the Friday night Mayor’s Night event.
In a statement, KCMO Mayor Sly James said, “I
created Mayor’s Nights and Club KC to give our
young people a safe and fun environment to spend
their summer evenings. I was deeply troubled to
learn about the unacceptable situation involving a
female participant that took place at the Tony Aguirre
Community Center this past weekend. Fortunately,
the staff acted swiftly to address the incident and
law enforcement handled the situation with the two
male participants. This type of behavior will not be
tolerated.

Pachuco says you have to keep the kids busy
By LUIS CORDOBA
Los Huevones.
Graduations are over and I
pray that you were among the
many blessed to celebrate your
child’s accomplishments. A new
journey begins for those parents
whose children are either going
to summer school or just going
to be wasting time at home “de
huevones.” Some children may be
thinking that la cha-cha (maid) is
going to take care of the chores.
But El Pachuco feels that children
should be taking care of the house
and the chores when parents are at
work. Some parents are not happy
that their children are out of
school because that means leaving
their huevones home alone.
When huevones are home
alone, they watch TV, play their
XBox games, are on the phone
texting their friends, or inviting
t h e i r
friends to the house so that they
can have a marijuana party.
Others just leave the house and
hang out with their homies in
the park and get into things that
they later regret. I often hear
from parents that when they
return home from work they find
the house in disarray, and that
is when los gritos (the yelling)
begin. “Why didn’t you clean your
room! You should have taken the
trash out! Why didn’t you wash
the dishes? Why didn’t you cut
the grass! Porque estas de huevon
(why are you being lazy)?”
The list is endless with the
many things you parents expect
your child to help with, especially
when they are on school break.
Instead, your huevones do
everything but the things that you
hope they would do to support
you when you get home from
the back breaking jobs most of
you have. When you are at work,
your huevones are on their backs
en la cama (on the bed) trying
to increase the population of
America. So when you get home,
don’t be surprised with your sons
or daughters when they tell you
that a new addition to la familia
will be arriving in nine months.
Forget about your huevones
taking
responsibility
for
supporting el bebe nuevo (the new
baby). Instead, the expectation of
your huevon will be that mama
or papa will take care of toda la
familia (all the family) including
the new born. Other huevones
will eventually get tired of la
mama nagging them and will
decide to move out with their
ruca or ruco. They will see for
themselves that la vida (life)
is not as easy as one might
have expected. Be prepared
to increase your minutes
on your cell phones. Your
huevones will be placing
numerous calls to you
asking you to allow them
to move back in. A
bit of advice,
d o n’t
answer your phones!
I was seven years old when I
first became un hombre (became a
man) and learned the importance
of work ethic, education and
responsibility. In the early 60’s,
during my school summer and
holiday breaks, I recall getting up
early in the morning to accompany
my mother to work. Jack Bloom,
a garment company located
in the garment section of Los
Angeles, was the sweatshop I got
accustomed to during my summer
and holiday breaks. My mama
worked over 25 years as a garment
pressor (planchadora) and rarely
missed work during her tenure.
Most of la gente (the people)
working there were Mexicans and
Jews – la gente pobre (the poor
folk) from the neighboring barrios
of Los Angeles. The heat wreaked
havoc in the summer and inside
the sweat shop the temperature
would reach into the upper 100’s.
I recall my mama frequently
passing out from heat exhaustion.
She would never go home as one
might do today when they get ill
at work. After some wet towels on
the back of her neck, and a drink
of some fresh water, mama was
back on her feet ironing with the
hot steam, trying to complete her
job.
I worked as a runner taking
items to my mom that needed to
get pressed. I learned the value of
work but more importantly, tips
from the sewing operators would
be my incentive to go to work
each day. I would arrive on time,
and would work eight hours a day,
five days a week, sometimes six
depending on my mother’s work
needs.
My work ethics was what my
mama taught me at an early age.
Yo no era huevon (I was not lazy).
I realized early in life that I did
not want to return to a sweat shop
to work for the rest of my life so I
decided that education was going
to be my salvation from the sweat
shop. Although my mama had a
sixth grade education, her work
ethics and responsibility to her
children earned her the right to be
our hefita (boss). My father didn’t
earn that right being that he was a
grade “A” huevon.
So how do parents take back the
control of their palacio (castle) and
deal with the huevones at home? I
would say, “Grow some albondigas
grandes” and take control of your
castle now! If your Huevones are
not doing anything to help out,
kick them out. Assuming they are
of age. If they tell you I do not
want to go to summer school, tell
them that is not an option, you
are going! End of story! Make a
list of chores that you expect your
huevones to complete. Oh yes,
include in that list your significant
other (marido) as well. Teach
them to be responsible and that
the materialist items they possess
are the result of your hard work.
You buy them things, but what
do you get in return? Everything
they have is because of you. Don’t
be a fool, make them work for
what they need and what they
want to have. Things cost money
and the only way your huevones
can live a comfortable life and get
the amenities in life is through an
education and being responsible
and hard working.
If your child is old enough to
work, encourage them to look for
a job. Many times I hear people
putting down people who work at
a McDonalds, but what is wrong
with working there? It is a job and
it pays if you come to work on
time and work hard. You can even
eat all the papitas (French fries)
you want. Oh yes, and be careful
not to get caught by the manager.
He will make you pay for the
food you try to sneak behind the
counter and eat. Nothing is free
in life. You have to work for it
huevones.
If your child is too young
to work, consider having your
huevon read at least two hours
daily. Reading will enhance
your child’s ability to advance in
the English language courses at
school. Have your child exercise
their brain by doing math,
science, and algebra problems
on the Internet. There are many
free age appropriate programs
for your child that may improve
your child’s ability to stay focused

la celebración de los logros de tu
hijo. Un nuevo viaje comienza
para aquellos padres cuyos hijos
van ya sea a la escuela de verano
o simplemente van a perder el

Algunos niños pueden estar
pensando que la cha-cha (persona
dedicada a la limpieza) va a hacerse
cargo de las tareas . Sin embargo,
El Pachuco siente que los niños
deberían estar tomando el cuidado
de la casa y, las tareas, cuando los
padres están en el trabajo. Algunos
padres no están contentos de que
sus hijos no estén en la escuela

Cuando los huevones están
solos en casa, ven televisión,
juegan sus juegos de Xbox, están
mandando mensajes de texto
en el teléfono con sus amigos, o
invitando a sus amigos a la casa
para que puedan tener una fiesta
con marihuana. Otros se salen
de la casa y pasan el rato con sus
amigos en el parque y se meten
en cosas que luego lamentamos.
A menudo, escucho a los padres
decir que cuando vuelven a casa
del trabajo encuentran la casa en
desorden, y es entonces, cuando
los gritos comienzan. “¡¿Por
qué no limpiaste tu habitación?!
¡Deberías haber sacado la basura!
¿Por qué no lavaste los platos? ¡¿Por
qué no podaste el césped! ¿Porque
estás de huevón (perezoso)?”.
La lista es interminable, con
las muchas cosas que ustedes,
padres, esperan que su hijo les
ayude, sobre todo cuando están de
vacaciones escolares. En lugar de
eso, sus huevones hacen de todo,
menos las cosas que ustedes
esperan que harían para apoyarle
cuando llegue a casa después
de los empleos que matan sus
espaldas y que la mayoría de
ustedes tienen. Cuando está en
el trabajo, sus huevones están
acostados en la cama tratando
de aumentar la población de los
Estados Unidos. Así que, cuando
llegue a casa, no se sorprenda
de sus hijos o hijas cuando le
digan que una nueva adición a
la familia va a llegar en nueve
meses.
Olvídate que tus huevones
se harán cargo de mantener al
nuevo bebé. En lugar de ello, la
expectativa de su huevón será
que mamá o papá se hará cargo
de toda la familia, incluido el
recién nacido. Otros huevones
finalmente se cansan de que
la mama esté dice y dice y se
deciden a irse a vivir con su ruca
o ruco. Ellos verán por sí mismos
que la vida no es tan fácil como
pudieron haber esperado. Esté
preparado para que aumenten
los minutos en sus teléfonos
celulares. Sus huevones va a
aumentarlos
con
numerosas
llamadas pidiéndole que le permita
regresar a casa. Un consejo, ¡no
conteste el teléfono!
Yo tenía siete años cuando me
convertí en un hombre y aprendí la
importancia de la ética de trabajo,
la educación y la responsabilidad.
A principios de los 60, durante mis
vacaciones escolares de verano y de
primavera, recuerdo levantarme
temprano en la mañana para
acompañar a mi madre a trabajar.
Jack Bloom, una empresa de ropa,
ubicada en la sección de ropa
de Los Ángeles, fue la fábrica
clandestina a la que me tuve
que acostumbrar durante mis
vacaciones de verano y primavera.
Mi mamá trabajó durante 25 años
como planchadora de prendas de
vestir y rara vez dejo de ir al trabajo
durante el tiempo que permaneció
ahí. La mayoría de la gente que
trabajaba allí eran mexicanos
y judíos - la gente pobre de los
barrios vecinos de Los Ángeles. El
calor hacía estragos en el verano y
el interior de la fábrica llegaba a
tener una temperatura superior
a los 100 grados Fahrenheit.
Recuerdo a mi mamá que con
frecuencia se desmayaba por el
agotamiento debido al calor. Ella
nunca iba a casa como se puede
hacer hoy, cuando se enferman
en el trabajo. Después de algunas
toallas húmedas en la parte
posterior de su cuello, y un vaso de
agua fresca, mamá estaba de vuelta
en pie, planchado con el vapor
caliente, tratando de completar su
trabajo.
Trabajé
como
mensajero
llevando, a mi madre, artículos
que necesitaban ser planchados.
Aprendí el valor del trabajo, pero
más importante aún, los consejos
de los operadores de costura serían
mi incentivo para ir a trabajar cada
día. Me gustaba llegar a tiempo, y
trabajaba ocho horas al día, cinco
días a la semana, a veces seis,
dependiendo de las necesidades
del trabajo de mi madre.
Mi ética de trabajo es lo que
mi madre me enseñó a una edad
YOUR LATINO CONNECTION SINCE 1996
temprana. Yo no era huevón. Me
di cuenta temprano en la vida,
que no quería volver a una fábrica
clandestina para trabajar por el
resto de mi vida, así que decidí que
la educación iba a ser mi salvación.
A pesar de que mi madre tenía
una educación de sexto grado de
primaria, con su ética de trabajo y
la responsabilidad hacía sus hijos
se gané el derecho a ser nuestro
jefita. Mi padre no se ganó ese
derecho, ya que él era un huevón
de grado “A”.
Entonces, ¿cómo los padres
pueden recuperar el control de su
palacio y tratar a los huevones en
el hogar? Yo diría, “Tenga algunas
albóndigas grandes” y ¡tomé el
control de su castillo, ahora! Si sus
huevones no están haciendo nada
para ayudar, échelos. Asumiendo
que son mayores de edad. Si te dicen
que no quieren ir a la escuela de
verano, diles que no es una opción,
¡tienen que ir! ¡Fin de la historia!
Haz una lista de las tareas que tú
esperas tus huevones completen.
¡Oh, sí! incluye también en esa
lista a tu pareja. Enséñales a ser
responsables y hazles saber que las
cosas materiales que poseen son el
resultado de tu trabajo duro. Se
compran cosas, pero ¿qué obtienes
a cambio? Todo lo que tienen es
gracias a ti. No seas tonto, haz
que trabajen para lo que necesitan
y lo que quieren tener. Las cosas
cuestan dinero y la única forma
en que sus huevones pueden
tener una vida cómoda y obtener
las comodidades de la vida, es a
través de una educación y de ser
responsable y trabajador.
Si su hijo tiene la edad suficiente
para trabajar, anímale a buscar un
empleo. Muchas veces escucho a la
gente hacer menos a las personas
que trabajan en un McDonalds,
pero, ¿que hay de malo en trabajar
allí? Es un trabajo y si se llega
a trabajar a tiempo y se trabaja
duro, se gana dinero. Incluso se
puede comer todas las papitas a
la francesa que desee. ¡Oh, sí!, y
hay que tener cuidado de no ser
atrapados por el administrador.
Él le hará pagar por la comida
que intenta colar por detrás del
mostrador. Nada es gratis en la
vida. Tienen que trabajar para
ello, huevones.
Si su niño es demasiado joven
para trabajar, considere que su
huevón lea al menos dos horas
al día. La lectura mejorará la
capacidad de su hijo para avanzar
en los cursos de inglés en la escuela.
Haga que su niño ejercite el
cerebro, estudiando matemáticas,
ciencia, y problemas de álgebra en
Internet. Hay muchos programas
gratis, apropiados para la edad
de su hijo y que pueden mejorar
la capacidad de su hijo para
mantener la concentración en
el trabajo relacionado con la
escuela durante las vacaciones de
verano. Encuentre los programas
o actividades comunitarias para
jóvenes (fútbol, ​​natación, béisbol,
baloncesto, y más) e inscriba a su
hijo. Estos tipos de actividades
ayudarán a su hijo a quemar
parte de la grasa y las calorías
acumuladas de todos los tamales
y comida de la que se ha estado
alimentando mientras están
sentados en el sofá jugando al
X-Box, hablando por sus teléfonos
celulares y viendo incontables
horas de televisión por cable, todo
lo cual es pagado por ti.
La huevonada, es un virus que
puede ser controlado fácilmente,
a través de la enseñanza a sus
hijos a una edad más temprana
a ser responsables y a que
abracen a la educación como
su salvación. A través de su
propio
comportamiento,
y
determinación, se puede eliminar
el “virus huevonada”. Mi mamá
me enseñó y demostró a través del
trabajo duro y de ser responsable,
que todo es posible.
Así que, huevones, tomen el
consejo de El Pachuco Educado,
permanezcan fuera de la cama
de mamá, sean responsables,
consigan un trabajo, y ayuden a su
jefita y jefito en la casa haciendo
parte de las tareas. Recuerda que la
Educación es tu Salvación.

Muhammad Ali
services set for Friday
CONT./PAGE 1
The cause of Ali’s death
was septic shock “due
to unspecified natural
causes,” Gunnell said.
One of Ali’s daughters,
Hana Ali, recalled his
final moments with family
by his side, hugging and
kissing him and holding
his hands as they chanted
Islamic prayers.
“We all tried to stay
strong and whispered in
his ear, ‘You can go now.
We will be okay,’” Hana
Ali wrote on Twitter.
Even after many of his
organs failed, his heart
kept beating for 30
minutes, she wrote.
On Saturday at the
Muhammad Ali Center,
CEO Donald E. Lassere
read a statement saying
in part, “Ali will be
remembered
for
his
love for all people,
his
athleticism,
his
humanitarian
deeds,
social justice and perhaps
mostly his courage in and
out of the ring.”
Muhammad Ali was
a professional boxer,
widely regarded as one
of the most significant
and celebrated sporting
figures of the 20th
century.
Born Cassius Clay in
Louisville, Kentucky, in
1942, Muhammad Ali
became an Olympic
gold
medalist
in
1960 and the world
heavyweight
boxing
champion
in
1964.
Following his suspension
for
refusing
military
service, Ali reclaimed
the heavyweight title two
more times during the
1970s, winning bouts
against Joe Frazier and
George Foreman along
the way. Diagnosed with
Parkinson’s disease in
1984, Ali devoted much
of his time to philanthropy,
earning the Presidential
Medal of Freedom in
2005.
Jerry Morales, a local
boxer referee and one time
president of the Golden
Glove organization and
head of Gold Gloves
officials,
remembers
the time in1974 when
Muhammad Ali paid a
visit to Kansas City.
“He came to fight an
exhibition bout and of
course he called the
Golden Gloves because
he wanted to find an
official for the fight,”
Morales
explained.”
With me being the head
referee and all, I ended
up refereeing his bout. I
can’t recall who he fought
that day.”
Morales found Ali
amiable
and
good
humored. He remembered
the first thing he said to
him when they ran into
each other before the
exhibition.
I called him Cassius
Clay and he told me ‘I
am Muhammad Ali,”
recalled Morales. “’I told
him, I said. ‘I know you
by Cassius Clay.’ We met
going up the steps. He
saw me coming up and
he called me Chicano
and I said, ‘No sir, I am
a Mexican American.
Chicano is for people in
California, not for me.’
He said, ‘well, I will see
you around,’ and of
course the next time he
saw me it was in the ring.
He was real surprised.”
Morales
recalls
everything
happening
real fast.
“I got to talk to him a
little bit. He was a nice
gentlemen and that (in
the ring) was all the time I
had with him because he
left town right away. They
were going to have a
party but he had to leave
town you know,” Morales
added.
Morales’
daughter
posted a picture on
Facebook of the event. It
shows Morales and Ali in
the ring.
“I refereed his bout and
the photographer took a
picture of me in the ring,”
recalled Morales.
Morales believes Ali
was a great fighter but he
stops shy of calling him
the greatest of all time.
“We had Joe Luis and
Rocky Marciano … but he
was up there with them. I
would say yes,” he said.
Morales remembers the
time Ali refused to join
the service when he was
drafted. He is convinced
that Ali would have had
tiempo a la filantropía,
ganando la Medalla
Presidencial
de
la
Libertad en 2005.
Jerry Morales, un
árbitro de boxeo local
y en ese entonces
el presidente de la
organización
Guante
de Oro y la cabeza
de los funcionarios de
los Guantes de Oro,
recuerda el momento,
en 1974, en que
Muhammad Ali hizo una
visita a Kansas City.
“Él vino a una pelea
de exhibición y por
supuesto que llamó a los
Guantes de Oro, porque
quería encontrar a un
oficial para la pelea”,
explicó Morales. “Yo,
siendo el árbitro de
cabeza y todo, terminé
arbitrando su combate.
No puedo recordar a
quién combatió ese
día”.
Morales conoció a
un Ali de buen humor y
amigable. Se acordó de
lo primero que le dijo
cuando se toparon el
uno al otro antes de la
pelea.
“Yo
lo
llamaba
Cassius Clay y me dijo
‘soy Muhammad Ali’”,
recordó Morales. “Yo le
dije. Yo te he conocido
por Cassius Clay”. Nos
encontramos subiendo
los escalones. Él me vio
y me llamó chicano y yo
le dije, ‘No señor, yo soy
un mexicano-americano.
Chicano es para las
personas en California,
no para mí’. Él dijo,
‘bien, te veo después’, y,
por supuesto, la próxima
vez que me vio estaba
en el ring. Él estuvo
realmente sorprendido”.
Morales
recuerda
que todo sucedió muy
rápido.
“Pude hablar con él un
poco. Era un caballero
agradable y así (en el
cuadrilátero) fue todo
el tiempo que estuve
con él, porque él salió
de la ciudad de forma
inmediata. Ellos iban a
tener una fiesta, pero
él que tuvo que salir de
la ciudad, ya sabes”,
agregó Morales.
La hija de Morales
publicó una foto del
evento en Facebook.
La imagen muestra a
Morales y a Ali en el
cuadrilátero.
“Yo arbitré su combate
y el fotógrafo tomó una
foto de mí en el ring”,
recordó Morales.
Morales
cree
que Ali fue un gran
luchador,
pero
se
detiene
tímidamente
para nombrarlo el más
grande de todos los
tiempos.
“Tuvimos a Joe Louis y
Rocky Marciano, pero él
estaba allí, con ellos. Yo
diría que sí”, dijo.
Morales
recuerda
el tiempo en que Ali
se negó a unirse al
servicio militar cuando
fue reclutado. Él está
convencido de que
Ali
hubiera
tenido
una vida fácil en el
servicio militar. Había
precedentes de que las
celebridades icónicas se
unían al servicio militar
y servían lejos de las
líneas frontales. Siempre
sintió que Ali debería
haberse enlistado.
“Usted sabe, Elvis
Presley y Joe Louis
fueron al servicio militar
y no hicieron nada”, dijo
Morales. “Él hubiera
sido puesto en servicios
especiales. A mucha
gente no le caía bien
por eso (su postura).
Siempre lo admiré por su
capacidad de boxeo”.
Los servicios fúnebres
serán este viernes 10
de junio, en su ciudad
natal,
en
Louisville,
Kentucky, un evento de
un día de duración que
incluirá una procesión
por las calles donde el
campeón del mundo
creció y aprendió a
