Sparta 55: el reto que transforma tu vida
By Margarito J. Garcia III, Ph.D.
As most of you know, the month of
February is Black History Month in
the U.S., and as Chicanos and
Chicanas I think it behooves us to consider how persons of African descent
have also played a role in the history
and heritage of Chicanos. You see,
even though Chicano History Week
covers the dates of Feb. 2-8 that does
not mean that we as Chicanos have
to ignore the remainder of Black History Month. In fact, I would say that
Black History Month gives Chicanos
another springboard to use in extolling
the achievements of historical persons
I call Afro-Mesoamericans and/or
Black Chicanos. According to Dr.
Cirenio A. Rodriguez (2015), “The
heritage of Africans in Mexico after
Christopher Columbus is a rarely explored topic in the history books of the
Americas.”
And even though many of us have
been involved with matters relating
to the arrival and celebration of
Chicano History Week (Feb 2-8), that
first week in February has now
passed. Yet there is “something”
more which many persons who identify as Chicano or Chicana may want
to take into consideration. That
“something” is that we are still in the
midst of the celebration of Black History Month in the U.S. So some of
us may want to change from our
usual “non-black” modus operandi
and/or frame of mind, and think:
What black Chicanos or Chicanas do
we know? I think that we as
Chicanos and Chicanos owe it to ourselves to address this question during
Black History Month (as well as during Chicano History Week, Feb. 28). I hope you agree.
It is important to keep in mind that
during the 16th and 17th centuries, the
two countries of Peru and Mexico together imported more slaves than the
entire United States. Dr. Cirenio A.
Rodriguez (2015) suggests the following: “Just Google Afro-Mexican heroes and you will find many sources.
Also Professor Henry Louis Gates did
a film for PBS entitled ‘Mexico and
Peru: The Black Grandma in the
Closet. This one-hour film deals in part
with the history of Africans in Mexico
after Christopher Columbus, a topic
which is rarely explored topic in the
history books of the Americas.”
According to Rodriguez “Gasper
Yanga, was one of the often neglected African figures in the history
of the Americas. He was the founder
of the town Yanga, located in the
Veracruz region of Mexico, between
the Port of Veracruz and Córdoba. It
is among the first free African settlements in the Americas after the start
of the European slave trade. Black
slaves also rebelled against the Spanish in 1570. Two Mexican heroes of
the Mexican Independence (circa
1810) were also part black, Vicente
Guerrero and Jose Maria Morelos y
Pavon.”
Additionally, I would like to remind
our readers that sometime back I
spoke to you about who might be persons in Chicano history who could
possibly be considered as Chicano historical “archetypes” (or more perfect
versions of ourselves). I had hoped that
by doing so, I could put together a hallway display of such persons, and that
such a display could then be available
for K-12 schools to show their students—well, that project is still in the
works. But the reason that I mention
the Chicano “archetypes” project is
because it has occurred to me that one

Por Citlalli Rodríguez
Hablar de hábitos saludables y un
estilo de vida activo resulta fácil, lo
complicado es llevarlo a la práctica
todos los días; con el objetivo de
facilitar este proceso de transformación surge Sparta55, un sistema
que llegó a Chula Vista hace poco más
de un año para transformar decenas
de vidas con salud y nutrición en la
comunidad hispana del sur de California.
Preocupado por la salud y hábitos
alimenticios de la comunidad que lo
vio crecer, Juan Escorcia, un joven
de 26 años con amplia visión -siendo
atleta desde temprana edad- experimentó el sistema en Tijuana y
decide traspasar fronteras e implementarlo para beneficio de Chula
Vista.
El reto consta de 55 días de
entrenamiento integral consecutivos,
es decir, entrenamiento físico con
sistema funcional de ejercicio y control nutricional personalizado, a cargo
de un equipo de profesionales en el
ámbito: la nutrióloga Ileana Méndez
y el Licenciado en actividad física y
deporte Gerson Olivos.
La misión del fundador de
Sparta55 USA, Juan Escorcia es que
cada persona descubra la versión de
sí misma y adquiera hábitos que le
sirvan no solamente los 55 días que
dura el reto, sino que lo aplique el
resto de su vida. “Cada persona tiene
la responsabilidad de compartir al
mundo lo que tiene, la mía es ésta,
dedico todo mi tiempo a este proyecto
que impacta más de cien personas
diariamente”.
Tal es el impacto de este sistema
en las vida de quienes lo han ex-
perimentado que existen casos de
personas que acuden para optimizar
las condiciones de salud antes de
someterse a procesos quirúrgicos
como la Sra. Sandra Patricia Armenta, con el padecimiento de
síndrome de Cushing encontró en
Sparta55 la motivación y efectividad
para mejorar sus condiciones de
salud, como en ningún otro lugar lo
había logrado.
En cada testimonio hay una historia y diferentes antecedentes,
algunas personas acuden para mejorar apariencia física, liberar estrés,
corregir hábitos alimenticios o mejorar
la salud “Ningún caso es sencillo, el
éxito radica en la atención personalizada que se le da a cada
paciente para ver cuál es su objetivo
y sus necesidades” explica la nutrióloga Ileana Méndez.
Para Mario Garay era indispensable mejorar su condición física, pues
ésta, comenzó a afectar su vida familiar “Para mí era muy complicado
ya agacharme a ponerme los zapatos,
jugar y cargar a mis niñas, tenía que
descansar y no quería hacer nada,
ahora eso quedo atrás y no quiero
dejar de venir; intenté ir a un gimnasio
convencional y no es lo mismo,
regresé a Sparta55” comentó uno de
integrantes de la primera generación
de “spartanos”.
Comprometido en su máxima
expresión con su labor, el entrenador
de cada una de las sesiones programadas Gerson Olivos menciona
que le es plenamente satisfactorio
influir en la vida de las personas a la
vez que desarrolla su profesión “El

Why Immigrant Rights Advocates Aren’t Worried About Texas Judge’s Ruling
Immigrant Rights Advocates stand-up for a fair and reasonable immigration reform.
By Elena Shore
NEW AMERICA MEDIA
A federal judge this week blocked
Obama’s executive actions from going into effect, a move immigration
reform advocates are calling only a
“temporary setback.”
Texas U.S. District Judge Andrew
Hanen issued a temporary injunction
on Monday, siding with Texas and 25
other states that signed on to a lawsuit against Obama’s executive actions on immigration. The White
House announced on Tuesday that the
Department of Justice is appealing the
decision.
The judge’s ruling was released
just two days before the expanded version of Deferred Action for Childhood
(see Black History, page 5) Arrivals (DACA) was slated to go
into effect.
It means that — until the ruling is
blocked or overturned by a higher
court — individuals will not be able
to apply for the new programs announced by President Obama on
Nov. 20, 2014. These include the expanded version of DACA, which was
slated to start Wednesday, and the
new program for parents of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents,
called Deferred Action for Parents
of Americans (DAPA), which was
expected to start in May.
Together the programs could protect over 5 undocumented immigrants
from deportation and provide them
with temporary work authorization.
Monday’s ruling does not affect socalled Dreamers, who can still apply
for (and renew) DACA under the
program that was announced in 2012.
The chess game
The federal lawsuit in Texas is the
latest move in a broader political
chess match now being played out
between Republicans and Democrats
over the president’s recent steps on
immigration reform.
Since Obama’s announcement in
November, Republicans have attempted to block his initiatives in Congress. But the legislation has not gotten passed the Senate (and even if it
did, it would be vetoed by the president).
That left one pathway for the GOP
to challenge Obama’s executive actions: through the courts.
“As they did in the health care fight,
when they were unable to block the
Affordable Care Act’s implementation through legislation, Republicans
have turned to the courts to resolve
what really amounts to a political dispute over policy,” Marshall Fitz, vice
president of immigration policy at the
Center for American Progress, told
reporters on a national press call
hosted Tuesday by New America
Media.
“Make no mistake,” said Fitz. “This
is a partisan political attack disguised
as a lawsuit.”
The plaintiffs “sought this judge
out” because, Fitz said, he has “a history of highly antagonistic, overreaching, really extremist, anti-immigrant decisions.”
“They went judge shopping, they
found their judge, they got the decision they wanted,” said Frank Sharry,
executive director of America’s
Voice, in Washington, D.C. “But
reading through the decision, it is
poorly argued, [rests on a] very weak
basis, and it is clearly a politicized
decision that is not going to survive
appeals up through the court system.”
The case is expected to go next to
the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, a
three-judge panel known for its conservative bent. After that, the case
would go to a full U.S. court of appeals and even potentially all the way
to the Supreme Court.
“The wheels of justice are slow,”
said Fitz, “but at the end of the track,
we will have confirmed legality and
the program will be implemented.”
Immigration advocates have several reasons to be confident.
“The fact is that the Obama administration has an airtight legal

Mexican Teachers Take to the Streets Again
By Kent Paterson
FRONTERA NORTESUR
Yuridia Garcia would like to
get paid. A teacher in the
southern Mexican state of
Guerrero, Garcia was among
tens of thousands of current
and retired education workers
who took to the streets last
week in the states of Guerrero,
Oaxaca, Michoacan, and
Chiapas.
The protesters demanded
overdue pay, job security, salary reclassifications and, as is
the rallying cry of social movements across the nation, the
safe return of the 43 forcibly
disappeared students from the
Ayotzinapa rural teachers’ college and the punishment of the
parties responsible for the massive human rights violation.
As the week wore on,
teachers conducted public demonstrations, blockaded avenues and highways, seized
highway toll booths, occupied
government offices, and shut
down schools across a broad
swath of southern and southwestern Mexico.
A protest sign left on a metal
gate at state offices in
Zihuatanejo perhaps summed
up the local clamor: “We are
missing 43, 12,300 job positions
plus my salary.”
Stoking the Guerrero protests in particular was a delay
in paying education workers
half of their January salary, as
well as non-payments or underpayments of annual Christmas bonuses and pensions. According to the Guerrero State
Public Servants Union
(SUSPEG), 12,300 families are
at risk of losing their means of
support.
Both the union and the
Guerrero state government
blame a good part of the problem on a federal education reform that recentralized payroll
disbursements in Mexico City
in addition to a mismatch in the
lists of eligible workers held by
the federal government and the
actual number of employees
working in schools and administrative offices.
In Zihuatanejo, scores of
members of the SUSPEG and
two other educator organizations, the SNTE and CETEG,
staged a downtown march February 6 chanting “People we
don’t want to bother you, but
the government forces us to
protest” and “Teachers united
will never be defeated.” Personifying the widespread impact of the movement, the
marchers represented educators from the Costa Grande
municipalities of Jose Azueta
(Zihuatanejo), La Union and
Petatlan.
A fired-up crowd cornered
interim Guerrero Governor
Rogelio Ortega at the entrance
to the local navy base, where
Ortega was discussing security issues in the Costa Grande
region of the state with military officials.
As tall marines hovered
over the base’s entrance and
heavily-armed state police
guarded the flanks, Ortega dialogued with the protesters.
Some marchers waved signs
that blasted President Enrique
Pena Nieto while a small group
of demonstrators identifiying
themselves as Atoytzinapa
graduates held aloof a large
banner demanding the presentation with life of their 43 colleagues and political trials for
former Guerrero Governor
Angel Aguirre and Luis
Albarca, the ex-mayor of
Iguala, Guerrero, who is jailed
on charges related to the
bloody police attack on the
Ayotzinapa students in Iguala
last September.
Dressed casually and maintaining a cool demeanor,
Ortega fielded heated complaints from union leaders and
education workers about the
missing payments and the
problem of workers who are
not officially part of the budget but still work, in some cases
enduring the situation for decades, according to protesters.
Regarding the non-budgeted
workers, one man urged the
governor to take action on an
“absurd situation on the part of
the state government.”
Hailing from a family of
education workers, Ortega
sympathized with the protesters. “I know what it means to
not have a bi-weekly paycheck,” he said. “Let’s work
together in the last months I
have as governor to resolve
the problem.”
Ortega appealed on the protesters to understand his own
situation. For example, he laid
out his schedule for Friday,
February 6, as consisting of a
morning meeting in Zihuatanejo
with military officials, a flight
back to the state capital of
Chilpancingo, an afternoon
jaunt back to the Costa Grande
to meet with the family of an
Ayotzinapa student slain by
police in 2011, and an evening
meeting in Acapulco.
“You know the problem of
security here in Guerrero in
terrible,” Ortega prefaced his
remarks. “I can’t attend to everything in the 24 hours of a
day.” Set to leave office next
October, Ortega pledged to
head a working group to resolve the education workers’
petitions. He promised to meet
again with movement activists
at 8 pm the same evening in
Acapulco.
“I’m with you all. I’m not
going to leave you alone,”
Ortega vowed. “We’re going
to show that we can govern
well during the last few
months.” After posing for photos with several protesters,
Ortega headed into the naval
facility to meet with military
commanders.
In a statement released the
day prior to Ortega’s
Zihuatanejo visit, the Guerrero
State Education Secretariat
(SEG) promised to pay all the
education workers their salaries on Friday, February 6. The
state education authorities said
a Mexico City working group
with participation from union,
state government and federal
officials was being assembled
to tackle the payroll problem.
The SEG appealed on the federal goverment to cover the
workers’ pay.
“We reiterated that the payroll problem of the education
sector in Guerrero is historic
and it is urgent to resolve it with
political will, always with respect for labor rights and in
conformance with the budget
assigned to the (state),” the
SEG declared.
Ironically, the teacher pay
problem comes at the very
moment that the Pena Nieto
administration is publicizing
generous expenditures for its
New Guerrero program, a
campaign announced to alleviate poverty, social decomposition and environmental degradation in the southern state.
Obdulia Balderas knows a
thing or two about historic education and social deficits in
Guerrero. From about 1950 to
1985, Balderas worked as a
primary and higher education
teacher in different parts of the
state, including a memorable
stint in El Embarcadero, a small
village not far from Acapulco.
There she encountered a classroom that was a literal pig sty
complete with animals sleeping inside. Balderas recalled
telling parents she would not
give lessons until the place was
cleaned up and the pigs removed. The parents got to
work.
“We held a parade to inaugurate the school,” Balderas
said in an interview. Like many
other Mexican teachers,
Balderas got involved in movements for better educational
conditions, labor rights, union
democracy, and the defense of
public education. She mentioned two important organizations that operated during her
career, the Teachers Revolutionary Movement of the 1950s
and the National Coordinator
of Education Workers,
founded in the 1970s but still
wielding powerful influence in
the central and southern regions of Mexico.
The retired teacher remembered an especially intense
struggle that ensued in
Guerrero during the late 1970s
and early 1980s over state
plans to obliterate the state
university. At the time,
Guerrero was governed by
Ruben Figueroa, an important
player in the Dirty War against
government opponents.
“Ruben Figueroa began to
smear us as guerrillas, communists,” Balderas said. “They
began to disappear our companions. Many were tortured
and some left the struggle..”
Yet, the movement persisted
and succeeded in not only saving but expanding the educational offerings at the state university, according to the former
educator.
Decades later, Balderas described how issues of labor
rights, privatization and classroom conditions are still burning at the forefront of the public policy agenda. Unfortunately, she said, many people
do not understand the educators’ movement and deride protesting teachers. “The people
of town say, ‘Once more, the
lazy teachers are not working’,” Balderas lamented.
Dividing her professional
career between the state and
federal sectors, Balderas had
trouble getting all her years of
service reconciled in a full retirement and only receives a
partial pension of less than $300
per month.
“Do you think I can survive
on that?” she asked.
Asked her opinion of the latest protests, Balderas was succinct: “I feel indignant, and I
feel the injustice of the government toward the people. It’s not
just one, it’s thousands of
teachers and administrative
workers.”

San Ysidro Board Moves Swiftly To Regain Public Trust
New San Ysidro Interim Sup Wants To Save Property Taxpayers $51-$71 Million
San Ysidro School Board recognizes the Ukelele players of Ocean View Hills school.
By Barbara Zaragoza
Ever since Edward Velasquez became the new interim
superintendent of the San
Ysidro School District on February 2nd, board members have
moved swiftly to regain public
trust after reeling from a payto-play scandal, a near takeover
by the state due to negative certification and a teacher’s strike.
On February 3rd, the San
Ysidro School District filed a
lawsuit against former superintendent Manuel Paul, demanding that he return the approximately $210,000 he received after stepping down
from the position. Paul faced
misdemeanor charges for allegedly taking $2,500 in cash
from a contractor who wanted
to get work with the district.
Last month, Paul was found
guilty, fined $5,000 and sentenced to two months in jail.
The lawsuit argues that because Paul was found guilty,
he is obligated to pay the district back for the money he received from a retirement
agreement.
At the February 12th board
meeting, Velasquez then made
a suggestion to trustees: refinance the district’s Proposition
C bond.
Proposition C was passed in
1997 when, fed up with crumbling infrastructure, a grass
roots campaign convinced voters to authorized $250 million
for the district, the largest bond
ever issued in California history. Velasquez explained that
refinancing the Prop C bond
from a 7.2% interest rate down
to a 5.2% interest rate could
be a first step in building back
trust within the community. A
retired educator of 35 years,
he is credited with taking the
Lynwood Unified School District out of near bankruptcy
within three months.
Velasquez said, “If things go
right, we’ll be able to do a great
job in saving millions of dollars
to the property taxpayers.”
He brought in a group of legal and financial advisors to
explain the refinance. Frank
Vega of RBC Capital Markets
said that the maximum tax rate
has been reached for property
owners. “So because the way
the ballot measure was written, the district cannot sell any
bonds today. You’re over your
maximum legal tax and there’s
nothing the district can do
about that… So one option is
to stop building, stop construction. Other option, and many
districts do this is, can we refinance our debt, can we lower
our payments so that the tax
rate goes down with it. And if
you execute a bond refinancing, then the payments will go
down, ideally the tax rate goes
down with it, and then that
might allow you to sell bonds
at some point in the future.”
The rate reduction would
save property taxpayers anywhere from $51 to $71 million
over the next thirty-five years.
Vega said, “Every dollar of
savings goes to the community.”
Lora Duzyk, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services for the San Diego County
Office of Education, sat in the
audience and made it clear to
board members that the county
would have to review and approve the refinance.
Newly elected trustee Marcos Diaz pointed out during the
meeting that board members
receive a $237 per month stipend. Trustees are now tasked
with reviewing hundreds of
pages of legal and financial paperwork that the negative accreditation and lawsuits have
left behind.
Velasquez said, “I want the
community to know that you
can trust this board, you can
trust this administration… I
didn’t create this mess. This
board didn’t create this mess,
but we’re going to fix it. We’re
going to fix it for the kids, first,
the parents and the community.”
Still pending is the $12 million owed to solar company
EcoBusiness Alliance due to a
breach-of-contract lawsuit.
San Diego Superior Court
records show that the district
filed an appeal, which was certified on January 16, 2015.
On February 7th the board
held a special meeting, where
they entered into a legal service agreement with Long
Beach lawfirm Leal & Trejo,
PC. Velasquez said: “We
brought in special council for
two things. One is to deal with
the EcoBusiness, and the other
is to deal with the bond. General council didn’t want to
handle the EcoBusiness lawsuit.”
He was referring to the law
firm Stutz Artiano Shinoff &
Holtz that represented the district in the breach-of-contract
lawsuit and lost. Now, trustees
have agreed that attorney William Trejo will take over at a
rate of $180 per hour. Community members are waiting to
see if Trejo will go forward
with the appeal, settle with
EcoBusiness, or pay the $12
million in a district whose overall budget is about $33 million
per year.
The San Ysidro district consists of seven schools and
serves about 5,500 students,
mostly lower-income. An
eighth school, Beyer Elementary, is currently undergoing
renovation.

The Play “Chavez Ravine”: A Tale of Ongoing Urban Removal
By Jimmy Franco Sr.
The play “Chavez Ravine”
is once again being performed
by the Latino-based theatrical
group Culture Clash. This live
theatrical performance provides a great historical snapshot and artistic depiction of
1950’s Los Angeles and particularly its portrayal of one of
the oldest Mexican-American
communities that once existed
within the heart of the city. As
such, this play creatively combines an ethnic format with a
content that possesses both
political and historical substance.
This performance by Culture Clash should be widely
viewed by families and especially young people for its educational value, but also as a creative form and example of vibrant Chicano/Latino art.
While satirical in its format, this
element does not overshadow
the play’s informative story line
which depicts real families
from LA’s past who experienced the destruction of their
Chavez Ravine community and
its subsequent replacement
with Dodger Stadium. There
are surviving members of the
old Chavez Ravine community
that belong to an association
named “Los Desterrados” or
exiled ones who still gather together for reunions.
The historical and political
events that are narrated within
the play also expose the power
politics, economic interests and
unethical practices that existed
within 1950’s LA which negatively affected the residents of
this traditional Chavez Ravine
community. Unfortunately, this
form of social gentrification
and profit-driven urban re-
moval that dislocated this
closely-knit neighborhood over
fifty years ago is still alive and
stronger than ever. The present
economic power of developers
and the drive to profitably exploit vulnerable communities
within the central city and drastically change their ethnic, class
and cultural composition continues to steadily displace the
long-time residents of many
neighborhoods.
A 1950’s tale of money,
manipulation and redbaiting
During the late 1940’s and
early fifties the LA Housing
Authority represented by
Frank Wilkinson had proposed
a revitalization plan for the
Chavez Ravine neighborhoods
of Palo Verde, La Loma and
Bishop. This plan included the
construction of new low-cost
housing and an improved infrastructure for its residents who
were somewhat geographically
cut-off from the rest of the
mainstream city and its rapid
development. This proposed
city housing development was
to be called Elysian Park
Heights upon completion.
By the early 1950’s the
eviction of residents from
Chavez Ravine had begun with
a promise by city officials that
those who left would get first
preference to the new public
housing units once they were
built. However, an alliance of
building developers, conservative politicians and a coalition
called CASH (Coaliton Against
Socialist Housing) soon organized a ruthless campaign
against the city’s policy of
building public housing within
low-income neighborhoods.
The immediate target of this
financially-driven alliance was
the defeat of the new housing
development that was being
proposed for Chavez Ravine. In
the view of these allied rightwing politicians and financial
developers such a valuable plot
of land next to Downtown that
could be profitably developed
should not be wasted on a poor
Mexican community and lowcost public housing.
A coordinated campaign to
attack and destroy the Chavez
Ravine housing plan focused
on Frank Wilkinson who was
a liberal member of the LA
Housing Authority and an advocate for integration and civil
rights. This involved an intense
red-baiting campaign and a
barrage of vicious accusations
and slanders which were leveled at Wilkinson and the concept of public housing in general as the true motive by
CASH was not patriotism, but
financial gain.
This propaganda campaign
alleged that Wilkinson and the
Chavez Ravine project were
un-American and part of a secret communist plot to build
Soviet-style housing which had
to be blocked and eliminated
for the ‘good’ of the country.
During this period of the 1950’s
McCarthy era and the red
scare this type of unprincipled
political agitation and smear
campaign was a common
practice used against individuals and organizations who favored progressive measures.
The political hatred that was
unleashed against the Chavez
Ravine residents and housing
project successfully created a
wave of public fear and hysteria which ultimately led to the
destruction of the proposed
housing plan, Wilkinson’s ca-

Black History
(con’t from page 1)
of those “archetypes” could be,
and in my opinion, should be, any
persons of African descent who
has exhibited any of the multitude of characteristics we find
admirable and/or praiseworthy
as Chicanos or Chicanas.
Well, I am of the opinion that
in the history of the U.S. there
is just such an example of a
heroic “archetype” of a Chicano. The historical figure that
I am thinking about has been
known in numerous writings as
“Estebanico” or Estevanico
(1500-1539), and he was a man
of Moorish descent who accompanied and assisted the
Cabeza de Vaca party to travel
across the U.S. Southwest. He
was also known as Esteban de
Dorantes or Esteban the Moor.
Now you may think that Estebanico may not count as a
“Chicano,” but if you look carefully at his accomplishments,
you will see that he achieved
more in his lifetime than did
many famous Chicanos, and he
did so bilingually and biculturally!
The other thing that I think
Estebanico deserves credit for
is the fact that in few years he
was in America he learned and
utilized many of the indigenous
peoples’ ways and lifestyles that
he encountered. He then as
such acted as an intermediary
between the indigenous peoples
of America and his Spanishspeaking companions. Have
you met very many Chicanos
who can match such skills and
ability? Estebanico additionally
had the ability to navigate, probably by using the stars, and/or
by accurately assessing the terrain while guiding the Cabeza
de Vaca party in their trek
across the Southwest. Have
you met many Chicanos who
could walk from Galveston Island to Western Mexico without a map or a GPS device? So
I think Estebanico deserves to
be one of our Black Chicano
Mesoamerican Spanish-speaking historical “archetypes?”
In addition, Estebanico (born
a Moroccan Arab Negro) may
have been among the first “Europeans” to pass through the
area in present day Texas
which the Spanish later called
“Hueco” (Spanish for gap or
hollow), or what became present-day “Waco,” Texas. Why
do I say this? I say this because
after having been shipwrecked
on Galveston Island, the Cabeza de Vaca (CDV) party
headed west, and the Texas
land area south of pre-sentday
Waco may have been part of
the geography through which
the CDV group passed enroute
west. The “Hueco” area is also
the region where the indigenous
Ouachita (changed to “Wichita”) peoples originally lived at
one point along the Brazos River
in Texas. Anglo speakers subsequently also changed the
word “Hueco” to “Waco.” The
Spanish may have referred to
the indigenous people there as
Huecos, however.
Furthermore, one theory as
to which route the CDV party
took is called the Balcones Escarpment Route. The Balcones
fault zone is a geological formation that runs approximately
from the southwest part of
Texas near Del Rio to the north
central region of Texas near
Waco, Texas (See “Cabeza de
Vaca Slept Here,” by M. J.
Garcia—2008.). In addition, a

Guest Editorial:
Indignation, Lest We Forget
LA OPINIÓN
Republicans celebrate while the immigrant community feels utter disillusionment.
A Texas judge ruled in favor of 26
states led by the GOP, opening the door
to deportation for hundreds of thousands
of “Dreamers” and preventing millions
of parents living in this country from
working without fear of being expelled.
This is a triumph for those who believe
that exploiting and deporting undocumented people is a priority. We cannot
ignore the fact that this represents a defeat in the debate on presidential power.
Aside from humiliating President Obama,
the ruling destroys the future of millions
of people.
This is a victory for those who think
— based on fear, stereotypes and ignorance, — that legalizing the status of undocumented people will drain the U.S.
treasury. They think the same way California ex-governor Pete Wilson did 20
years ago. They will also suffer the same
backlash.
This court decision has emboldened the
Republican majority. The ruling would
normally give a rest to the Department
of Homeland Security’s budget dispute,
since it allows Republicans to break out
of the current gridlock by leaving that
decision in the hands of judges. On the
contrary, today more than ever they are
set on tying the fate of the budget to the
elimination of executive actions.
This is the time for Latino voters to
take a look around them and see who is
celebrating this ruling, who denounces
it and who looks the other way. There is
no middle ground here or room for benevolent interpretations.
The human reality cannot be hidden behind supposed legal excuses. Republican
legislators and governors are the reason
there will be more people deported, and
that “Dreamers” who have integrated to
society to contribute with their labor are
once again on the brink of expulsion.
The impact of this verdict is temporary, as there is still much to resolve, but
the indignation it has provoked and the

ances del gobierno. Es decir, ante cualquier
irracionalidad del Legislativo o Judicial, el
Presidente tiene la potestad constitucional de
hacer uso de estos poderes.
Sin embargo, lo que se decida en la Corte
Federal de Apelaciones del 5to Circuito no será
la última palabra sobre este caso. Si el
Presidente gana en esta corte, los republicanos
seguramente apelarán a la Corte Suprema de
Justicia para tratar de revertir la decisión. Lo
mismo sucedería con el Ejecutivo, en caso de
que perdiera.
Lamentablemente para los republicanos,
particularmente para su ala más radicalizada, la
cuestión de las Acciones Ejecutivas es tan clara
como el agua. Los magistrados de la Corte
Suprema de Justicia no tienen argumentos reales
para determinar o decidir en contra de las
órdenes del Presidente. A la Corte no les
corresponde quitarle este poder al Presidente,
sino, paradójicamente, al Legislativo (Congreso).
Así, los republicanos, en medio de la agonía
y en un acto de desesperación, se pusieron la
“soga al cuello”. Es simplemente cuestión de
tiempo para que más de cuatro millones de
personas indocumentadas finalmente puedan
respirar “aire libre” en Estados Unidos, sin
necesidad de pensar en los fantasmas de la
deportación.
Cuando la Corte Suprema de Justicia
dictamine a favor de Presidente la mecha que
da vida a los radicales del Partido Republicanos
finalmente se disipará y dejará de iluminar.
Entonces será su anochecer y su despedida

The Comey Speech Misses the Ñ:
Latinos and Policing in America
By Juan Cartagena
Federal Bureau of Investigation Director
James Comey broke new ground with an important speech this past week about America’s
race problem in policing. Coming from someone with authority from the FBI, home of J.
Edgar Hoover and - yes - Robert Kennedy
excesses, this was an incredible breath of fresh
air. He talked about the white “privilege that
comes with being the majority” and the need
to check it to break from the inheritance of
treating people of color poorly. He acknowledged the phenomenon of implicit bias and
quoted Broadway music in proclaiming that
everyone is a little bit racist. Moreover, he demanded that police officers be seen for the
human beings dedicated to public service that
they are. All good.
Director Comey said many important things
about life in today’s America. However, he said
not a word about the country’s largest racial/
ethnic minority. He rightfully reminded America
about its pernicious treatment of Irish immigrants, the ones Professor Nell Painter documented were rioted against by the Know-Nothings precisely because to be American was to
be Saxon, not Celt. However, he did not connect that not uncommon immigrant xenophobic treatment with the largest immigrant group
in America today. He cited President Obama’s
My Brother’s Keeper initiative but stopped
short of citing the other group of young men
that are targeted for its beneficence. And more
important than any of these examples James
Comey dedicated considerable space in his
speech to the shortcomings of data collection on the use of force, on police shootings of African-Americans, on arrest data. He went on
to decry what that meant for the development
of informed discussions, sound policy and discouraging distrust. However, he utterly failed
in acknowledging the biggest flaw in national
data collection as it relates to the other large
player in the phrase “people of color.”
Sí, you guessed it: Director Comey said nothing about, or to, Latinos in the United States.
Moreover, in doing so he added to the invisibility of America’s largest minority population in
the debate over policing and criminal justice
reform. This was a lost opportunity that diminished his important teaching moment.
From a Latino perspective, the existence of
racial profiling and its corruption of police practices is a quotidian experience. The existence
of state-sponsored or state-ignored violence
against Mexican and Latino communities both
historically as in the Texas Rangers and contemporaneously as in the choke-hold death of
Al estilo del gran genio de la literatura
latinoamericana Gabriel García Márquez, la
impugnación del juez federal de Texas Andrew
S. Hanen a las acciones ejecutivas migratorias
del presidente Barack Obama es la última fase
de la “crónica de una muerte anunciada”.
A la tragedia política de la cuestión migratoria
ahora se le unió un juez federal, cuyo intento
real no es precisamente detener la orden
presidencial, el cual facilitaría la regularización
de más de cuatro millones de inmigrantes
indocumentados, sino para alargar la agonía del
Tea Party y otras facciones radicales del
Partido Republicano.
El juez Hansen no impugnó directamente la
constitucionalidad de la acción del Presidente,
sino que, a la manera de un niño huraño que no
le gusta perder su golosina, insistió que existen
suficientes elementos como para contener el
proyecto del Presidente y permitir que esta
contienda políticas cambie de escenario y se
resuelva en los paraninfos jurídicos.
Aparentemente para Hansen los “elementos”
que hacer referencia son las demandas que
impulsaron 26 estados contra la acción
migratoria del Ejecutivo. Recordemos el
presidente Obama firmó estas órdenes en
noviembre del año pasado y era precisamente
esta semana cuando se iba a dar inicio a los
primeros pasos del proceso de regularización.
La Casa Blanca inmediatamente manifestó
que va a apelar el fallo del juez Hanen. Por
consiguiente, lo más probable es que va a ser
discutido y dilucidado en la Corte Federal de
Apelaciones del 5to Circuito. Esta Corte de
Apelaciones seguramente le va a dar la razón
al Presidente.

Anthony Baez in the Bronx, is a very real lived
experience. Moreover, in New York City the
worst aspects of the NYPD’s stop and frisk
practices were targeted against Latino residents
in alarmingly unconstitutional numbers as well.
The touch points for Latinos in Comey’s address were all there for the taking. If he wanted
a better analogy to the treatment of Irish immigrants at the turn of the 20th century, look no
further than how Latino immigrants were/are
treated in Arizona, Alabama or along New
York’s border with Canada. Assuredly, My
Brother’s Keeper’s focus is the black community - and rightfully so. But the same materials
that tout its promise also document that Latino
youth are two-and-a-half times more likely than
similarly situated white youth to be imprisoned
with all the attendant consequences that entails for their potential.
However, it is in the critical area of data collection that Comey, the FBI, state law enforcement and even state corrections officials miss
the mark entirely. How many times have we
read a post-Ferguson article address racial disparities in arrest rates of X community with
either black integration of its respective police
force or its city council and wonder what the
data say about Latinos? An excellent USA
Today article in November 2014 included an
interactive, online map that tracked every police precinct in the country with data on arrests
and residential demography— all of it in black
and white. The authors conceded that the FBI
does not report data on the arrests of Latinos.
In a related vein, not all prison data includes a
comprehensive snapshot of incarcerated
Latinos because a number of corrections departments have no idea how many Latinos they
imprison - only blacks and whites.
In 2015 this is not only unacceptable it is a
disservice by public officials intent on finding
solutions to today’s police and criminal justice
problems. The glaring hole that the absence of
data on Latino encounters with law enforcement, adjudications and imprisonment equally
fails to inform the historic and monumental national debate that is occurring now in policing
and criminal justice reform.
FBI Director Comey promised to have his
agency lead the reform for better data. I promise to translate that into Spanish for the small
numbers of Latinos who have yet to master
English - then Latinos can hold him accountable.

Impaction: What Goes Around Comes Latinos Should Commemorate Black
Around
History Month
By Rodolfo F. Acuña
On September 11, 1973, General Augusto
Pinochet in cooperation with the CIA led a military coup assassinating constitutionally elected
Salvador Allende and unleashing a reign of terror that in the first year conservatively murdered over 11,000 people. By 1982 neo-liberal
wunderkind Milton Friedman declared that dictator Pinochet “has supported a fully free-market economy as a matter of principle. Chile is
an economic miracle”.
Pinochet along with “the Chicago Boys” —
free- market economists—set out to convert
Chile into a free market, reducing the role of
the state and cutting back inflation. According
to Pinochet, Chile would become “a nation of
entrepreneurs.”
A la Ronald Reagan, Pinochet set out to privatize Chile and make education a marketplace.
As a result, Chilean education became among
the most expensive in the world. The outcome
was dismal and Chile’s primary school system
ranks 119th of 144 countries. Students could
not afford “to graduate, and even those who
attain degrees seldom earn enough to pay off
their debt.” (Sounds familiar?)
A reason why education became
unaffordable is that higher education was privatized and it received limited public funding. In
2006 students took to the streets in what became known as the Penguin Revolution – the
students wore black and white uniforms, carrying signs “education is a human right.” Not
seduced by minor victories, they continued to
fight for free education.
Protests erupted again in May 2011 with an
eight-month long occupation of college campuses. This escalated into a sustained, threeyear nationwide movement. At its peak, 800,000
students flooded the streets and were supported
by 81 percent of the population.
Under the leadership of Chilean President
Michelle Bachelet, the Chilean Congress passed
a law that by 2016 education would be free.
Congress approved a corporate tax hike that
will generate $8.2 billion in new revenue. (The
U.S. defense budget was $581 billion in 2014).
History had judged Milton Friedman and his
“Chicago boys.”
What goes around comes around.
Change did not come about because the political process worked. Politicians did not conceive the change. It was the students taking to
the streets and spreading the attitude, “we are
fed up and we are not going to take it anymore,” that brought this about.
American students could learn from Chileans
and develop a moral vision that included education as a human right. Chileans did not blame
themselves for the crippling debt and the ineffectiveness of their government.
The demonstrations were nationwide and they
lasted years. As one critic put it, students got
politically involved and several of Chile’s student leaders serve in the Chilean Congress
“whereas the US Congress is mainly composed
of older millionaires, many of whom receive
campaign funds from for-profit schools like the
University of Phoenix.”
Another difference is that the United States
is the citadel of neoliberalism where the 1 percent has achieved an ideological hegemony.
The sad fact is that American students will not
be effective until they share a “moral vision”
that demands education as a right.
In the fall of 2015 California State University at Northridge will be designated as an impacted campus. The term “impaction” has been
around for some time and can apply either to
majors or specific campuses. “Major impaction means that the number of applications from
fully eligible students to a designated program
or major on a CSU campus during the initial
filing ...” Campus impaction occurs when the
number of applications received exceeds the
number of available spaces. However, this is
not always true and neither are the consequences.
Roughly from what I have been able to learn,
CSU San Luis Obispo has been impacted for
over a decade. San Luis Obispo has raised its
admission requirement from a 3.0 GPA to a
3.2. Departments have the option of turning
away students.
The rationale behind impaction is that by limiting and cutting enrollment campus costs will
be reduced. Campuses are under the illusion
that the governor, the legislature and the Board
of Trustees will then increase their budgets.
Impaction mainly affects first year students but
includes other transferring students. The goal
is to reduce the size of the university by one
percent a year over the next seven years.
In theory students turned away from CSUN
have the option of attending a non-impacted
campus, for example, CSU Stanislaus, which
may be okay for a student with substantial family support, but for poorer students of any race
it is a hardship. For undocumented students, it
is near impossible.
It gets more insidious with majors. At many
campuses students may be admitted on a “premajor” status. Before getting admitted to the
major, the student must complete the lower division courses prerequisites for admission to
the impacted major.
It is divisive and pits students against one another and divides them. Minority opposition to
impaction has nothing to do with lower standards for admission. They are demanding their
rights and asking for equal access to a quality
education. Impaction has the potential of being
a means of managing enrollment and gives racist members of individual departments the
power to avoid diversity.
There is nothing new about this form of social engineering. In 1985, Chancellor W. Ann
Reynolds sought raise entrance requirements
claiming that this would force the public schools
to offer required classes. Thanks to the Latino
community, students and California Legislators
opposition to Reynolds’ proposal slowed it down
and in the end her initiative proved to be a complete fiasco.
The only ones that will gain are for profit
colleges and rich corporations. According to
The Huffington Post for profit colleges from
2007 – 2012 spent a combined $39.6 million on
lobbying. By 2012 “For-profit colleges … collected $32 billion from the federal government
through programs like Pell Grants, while many
students failed to graduate. Among 30 companies investigated, 41.8 percent of revenue went
to marketing, recruiting, and to profits while only
17.7 percent towards actual instruction.”
Meanwhile, according to The Nation Magazine, “For-profit schools are driving a national
student debt crisis that has reached $1.2 trillion
in borrowing.” Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has
said that for-profits “own every lobbyist in
town.” Mitt Romney strongly endorsed the industry in 2012; he has financial ties to for-profit
colleges Vatterott and Full Sail University. In
2013-14, House Speaker John Boehner was a
top recipient of for profit money.
Giving the devil his due, Provost Harry
Hellenbrand resisted impaction, he lost and is
retiring. I will not be alive to see what went
around come around. It will take a long time
because neoliberalism is too well entrenched.
For there to be change, American students have
to develop a moral vision – Education is a human right.

When most people reflect on the civil rights
movement, they may think it was a struggle
solely for the African-American community.
However, the civil rights movement to me
was a struggle of all oppressed people of color.
The civil rights movement is still something
that is very palpable to me, and the mere
thought of it gives me mixed emotions.
The thought that not too long ago, people were
still fighting for some of the most basic rights
makes me weary inside.
The Chicano movement of the 1960s is a topic
that is rarely discussed, but in fact, it had many
similarities with the civil rights movement.
Both movements addressed education, working conditions and segregation reforms.
Like black children, Latino children were segregated in schools. It wasn’t until 1947 that the
Supreme Court prohibited the segregation of
Latinos in schools, which set the precedent for
the desegregation of black and white schools.
The African-American community had a
compelling leader-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
and the Latino community also had a formidable leader in Cesár Chavez.
King and Chavez proved to be committed to
their people’s cause by promoting nonviolent
resistance and leading by example.
Similar to the bus boycott was the grape boycott, though most people believe it was
Chavez’s idea, it was actually the initiative of
Filipino-American grape workers.
Leading from King’s example of the bus boycott, Chavez rallied supporters from across
California and eventually the entire country.
One reader of the Huffington Post by the
user name svwalker, commented on an article
“Cesar Chavez And Martin Luther King Jr.:
The Relationship Between Two Civil Rights
Leaders” which includes a telegram King sent
to Chavez during the grape boycott.
Thier comment read, “I remember that many
of us (African-Americans) in the south supported and participated in the boycott of
grapes.”

It’s perfectly fine for other groups to sell

ours to make something new—as I’ve

which demanded Congress to take action on
the Civil Rights Act, Chavez’s nonviolent pilgrimage in 1966 from Delano to Sacramento
demanded better working conditions for field
workers and the official recognition of the
United Farm Workers of America union.
In 1966, King sent Chavez a telegram in
which he praised Chavez for his nonviolent tactics and offered support.
“We are together with you in spirit and in
determination that our dreams for a better tomorrow will be realized,” King said.
The Chicano and civil rights movements were
long and exhausting struggles, but they succeeded in achieving some recognition and justice for oppressed groups.
Latinos and African-Americans have made
great strides in American society such as electing our first ever black president who in turn,
appointed our first ever Latina Supreme Court
Justice.
If it weren’t for the diligent efforts of the
civil rights groups, I, being a Latina immigrant,
wouldn’t have had the same access to education and employment opportunities that I do today.
If it weren’t for all the farm workers who
participated in strikes, and all the people across
the nation who boycotted grapes and for King
who inspired Chavez in his fight for better treatment of farm workers, my father who has been
a farm worker for nearly three decades since
moving to this country from El Salvador
wouldn’t have any rights or protection.
Overall, I can say the Chicano and civil rights
movements went hand in hand, as both influenced and supported each other with similar
objectives and outcomes.
Even today the Latino and African-American communities continue to show solidarity
for each other as seen in the protests for justice of killed African-Americans and immigration reforms.
Since February is Black History Month, I
would like to remind Latinos this is a month
that we should also commemorate, because in
some way or another we were all touched by
the works and influences of black activists and
supporters during the struggle of the Chicano
movement.

Cheer, immigration attorney at

Cheer encouraged immigrants to continue to save
money (the application fee for

$465) and gather evidence that
they have been in the country
for the last five years. This includes proof of identity (such
as a passport or matricula consular), proof of living here (such
as bills, bank statements and
medical records) and their
criminal and immigration histories.
Most importantly, Cheer said,
undocumented immigrants
should seek help from qualified
attorneys at trusted local community organizations, not from
notarios or unauthorized practitioners.
“If you’re eligible for the new
DACA or DAPA, both of
those programs are on hold.
There is no way to apply right
now,” warned Sharry, “so
don’t be fooled by scam artists promising to get you to the
front of the line.”

Barrera Taurina…rumors, half-truths, and anything in between…
By Mark Schwarz
The Plaza Santa Maria de
Bogota, Colombia, has been ordered to reopen as soon as possible by a 5 – 4 vote of the Colombian Constitutional Court,
thus ruling finally that Bogota
Mayor Gustavo Petro’s unilateral 2012 decision to close
down the plaza—and by extension any taurine activity in the
city—was unconstitutional and
beyond the scope of his office.
One of South America’s
most important plazas from the
40s through the 90s, the Bogota
aficion was forced by Petro,
who has stated that he would
rather lose an election than see
el toreo continue, to find other
plazas and other countries, to
satisfy its “ganas de toros.”
Pressure was brought, initially, by a group of 8 Colombian novilleros, who staged a
three-month long hunger strike
at the Plaza’s entrance for
“their right to free expression”
as artists of an accepted cultural practice. The judges cited
that right, along with “Ley 916
de 2004”, which explicitly forbids mayors or governors from
making demanding any type of
extra permission, regulation, or
stipulation to inhibit the celebration of corridas. Although the
ruling allows taurine activity to
resume immediately, the judges
stipulated that before any taurine events can take place, the
neglected physical structure of
the plaza, built in 1931, must be
restored for safety concerns.
Corridas will most likely resume
in the fall of this year.
Luis Sayeg, third partner,
along with Pablo Moreno and
Juan Pablo Corona, of Casa
Toreros, stated that the innovative taurine empresarial group
is finalizing plans for the 2015
temporada in Tijuana. Asked to
comment on prospects, including specific toreros, Sayeg declined to say which, if any, have
been contracted for the season,
which was rumored to be at
risk.
Sayeg stated only that Casa
Toreros is currently busy with
multiple “Carnaval” fairs in the
cities of Jalostotitlan and Autlan
de la Grana, Jalisco, as well as
Villa de Alvarez, Colima, held
in the world’s most unique plaza
de toros, a wood and hemp fiber arena constructed by the
town’s residents each year specifically for their carnival observances.
The last corrida of the 20142015 temporada in Mexico
City will took place Sunday,
February 15, featured three of
the successes (??) of the season, Jose Luis Angelino, Jose
Mauricio, and Fermin Rivera.
Certainly a worthy, and justifiable, combination, crafted as
cartels once were; based on the
successes in previous corridas.
Such in the moment thinking is
hardly common in the modern
taurine empresariat; more likely
are the multiple appearances of
the consolidated “figuras”, merited or not, whose box office
appeal has been proven, as
likely as not sandwiched between safer, veteran matadors
who are happy simply to be
active again, and younger, inexperienced men whose chances for future employment hinge
on these limited appearances.
The season in La Mexico can
be divided into two parts; the first
2/3, featured several encierros
of bulls of questionable age and
almost embarrassingly poor
physical presentation, 2 indultos
(the pardoning of a bull’s life after a superior performance) and
so many dubiously awarded
ears that even the normally easygoing capital city taurine press
found it necessary to raise an
alarm. The last third of the season saw more—not most—legitimately presented bulls, whose
bravery, maturity, and trickiness
added an element of danger and
authenticity sorely missing from
the first 60%.

Diego, State of California, FEIST,
VETTER, KNAUF AND LOY, a Professional Corporation, as duly appointed
Trustee under and pursuant to the Notice
of Delinquent Assessment filed against
Jeronimo Silva and Alda J. Silva and the
real property described below recorded
March 24, 2008 as Document No. 20080154079, in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, California,
and by reason of default in the payment
or performance of obligations secured
thereby, including the breach or default,
notice of which was recorded October
19, 2012, as Document No. 20120641505 of said Official Records, WILL
SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE
HIGHEST BIDDER for cash (payable at
the time of sale in lawful money of the
United States) a cashier’s check drawn
on a state or national bank, a check
drawn on a state or federal credit union,
or check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in
Section 5102 of the Financial Code, and
authorized to do business in this state,
pursuant to the authority granted by California Civil Code section 5650 et.seq., all
right, title and interest in the property situated in the County of San Diego, State
of California, legally described as: As
more fully described in the aforesaid Notice of Delinquent Assessment and Notice of Default. The street address and
other common designation, if any, of the
real property described above is: 701
Edgewater Drive #C, Chula Vista, CA.
Assessor’s Parcel Number: 595-222-0376. The undersigned Trustee disclaims
any liability for any incorrectness of the
street address and other common description, if any, shown herein. Said sale
will be made, but without covenant or
warranty, express or implied, regarding
title, possession, or encumbrances, to

unpaid homeowner assessments and
charges secured by the Notice of Delinquent Assessment, with interest as provided for by California Civil Code Section 5650, advances, if any, and fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee.
This property is being sold subject to the
right of redemption created by Civil Code

balance of the obligation secured by the
property to be sold and the reasonable
estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time this Notice is first
published is $34,410.89.
The beneficiary under the said Notice of

a written Declaration of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused
said Notice of Default and Election to

the property is located and more than
three months have elapsed since such
recordation.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If
you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that
there are risks involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will be bidding on a
lien, not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a trustee auction does not
automatically entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should
also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are
the highest bidder at the auction, you are
or may be responsible for paying off all
liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county
recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a
fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed of trust
on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you
and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to
learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 760-438-1914
during business hours for information regarding the trustee’s sale. Recorded
questions left by voice mail will be returned the next business day. Information
about postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in time to
the scheduled sale may not immediately
be reflected in the telephone information.
The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
