Spanglish, once frowned upon for the same reasons that have
motivated English-only efforts, is more and more recognized in
its own right. It is no longer an illegitimate specter hovering
over "pure" English and Spanish.

financiación para centros de salud comunitarios se extiende

of asthma in extraordinary numbers, and no one is quite sure why.

to sleep with a fan going even when it's cold, and drives her

Lola's 7-Up Mexican Market and Deli, located on the corner

the sounds of community life this Monday morning as it has on
virtually every weekday morning since it was first opened by the
Jauregui family in 1943. Sunlight beams into the store through
propped-opened glass doors, and Mariachi music serves as a backdrop
for the lively sounds of conversation and cooking coming from
within.

Stevens Mixes Metaphors
The often misguided Councilman George Stevens once again let his
emotions take control of his thinking processes when he recently
proposed that the City of San Diego discontinue the use of the
term "minority" in reference to different ethnic groups.
One has to wonder how Mr. Stevens thinks minority is a racist
word or term?

TEZOZOMOC SPEAKS
La Hermandad no longer La Hermandad. Founded in San Diego
way long ago by members of Local 89 Laborers Union, all Mejicanos,

Parece that, since Bert died, his wife Angelina and Nativo
Lopez have split La Hermandad in a power dispute. Sad very
sad, that a righteous organization would die in this fashion.

LOS POETAS DE LA LUNA LLENA
El "Taller del mar" nació, espontáneamente,

se juntan a lo largo de la costa del Pacífico en la región
de San Diego. Nos gusta la poesía, y nos gusta la lengua
castellana, así que leemos juntos en español poemas
que admiramos o que escribimos en este idioma, o que traducimos
de otras lenguas según lo determinan las fuerzas oscuras
del subconsciente.
Alza
Tu Vuelo, en el Mercado del CD
Por: Paco Zavala.
Alza tu vuelo, es el título de una nueva canción
de la compositora Martha Qui de Zamorano, que ha sido colocada
en el mercado el pasado 16 de marzo. Esta es una obra que pertenece
al género ranchero; imprime en su contenido la riqueza
y la nostalgia de la poesía musicalizada de los temas netamente
de carácter campirano del México de siempre. Esta
es una canción que se grabó en los estudios de Ernesto
Javier, talentoso valor tijuanense que se dedica a los menesteres
de la grabación en su estudio ubicado en Tijuana.
