Eivera ouster draws protests The San Bernardino Valley CoUege
Board of Trustees, at a meeting on Tuesday, May 8, emerged from an executive session, and in a 6 to 1 vote, opted not to renew President Manuel Rivera's contract. The dissenting vole was made by Trustee Joe Baca. Several weeks prior to board meeting, it was disclosed that President Rivera had applied and was interviewed for two presidencies in Minnesota and was a finalist for the chancellor at San Francisco Community College District. In a crowded meeting room of 49
persons, and as a result of overcrowding Chairperson Allen Gresham asked
approximately 30 persons to vacate the room due to fire regulations, requests were made from different persons in the audience to comment on the single item agenda. The requests were denied by Chairperson Gresham. The repeated requests to speak became louder and Gresham asked the board members if there were any motion for comment from the public. Baca made a motion, which was not seconded. Trustee Chuck Beeman, prior to making the motion not to renew the contract for President Rivera, stated that four years ago he had made the motion to give President Rivera a four year con
tract because he liked what he saw in Rivera. However, he felt that due to events and circumstances which had occurred on campus and in the best interest of the college, he felt that this action is necessary and "it is the most difficult decision I've ever been involved with." The motion was seconded by Trustee Mary Jo Poindexter. In the discussion phase. Trustee Baca read a prepared statement. He elaborated that President Rivera had provided the leadership and vision to provide the educational needs of the community when the college was in a financial crisis.

improvement during Rivera's tenure: utilization of an assessment instrument; reading, a curriculum approved by the curriculum committee; mathematics

Tucson Mariachi Conference: An enjoyable experience Tucson, Arizona w 8th Annual Mariachi Conference on April 18th to 21st. This is one of the biggest cultural events in the Southwest and attracts mariachi aficionados from every part of the country (there was one couple from Australia). Two other conventions were in town and every hotel room was booked.
Tucson is a beautifitl city in the middle dif the desert (md'^o smog), where* many conventions are scheduled throughout the year. Downtown Tucson is modem and clean. There are many good restaurants, especially good Mexican restaurants, (and the majority are owned by local Hispanics). There are many places where tourists can visit. Old Tucson, museums, art galler
ies and the University of Arizona, to name a few. A must is the De Gr^ia Art Gallery on North Swan Road on the out skirts of Tucson. The tour to the Mariachi Conference
was arranged by SteUa's World of Travel for approximately 150 persons from the Inland Empire who traveled by bus. A pre-plaimed itinerary included points of interest: visit to Nogales, tour of Tucson and De Grazia Art Gallery. Hotel accommodations, dinner reservations and convention tickets were part of the package. The Embassy Suite Hotel had good service, including hors d'oeuvre, breakfast and hospitality hour on the hotel.
The first evening, after a tour of Nogales, dinner reserv ations were m ade at the Mariachi Restaurant, a well-known restaurant, where the food was excellent and the mariachis entertained throughout a very enjoyable evening. The following day the group toured
the city of Tucson, visiting the points of interest and making stops at major points, including the De Grazia Art Gallery.
The first Mariachi Conference was hosted in April, 1983 and was so successful, it has continued to this day. The Conference is under the direction of the LFC, Inc., and funds raised in this event contributes to the operation of the La Frontera Center, a multi-seivice center under the direction of Dr. Floyd Martinez. The event has been so successful in the past that two events (with a full pre-paid capacity of 20,000 persons) was scheduled for this year! Good mariachi bands and singers have originated in Tucson, Linda Ronstadt, Lalo Guerrero and Monica Trevino (of the Camperos), to name a few. The Changuitos Feos De Tucson have won many awards and have become very famous. Members are from All Saints Catholic Church and the ori^al group was organized by Father Charles Rourke from the Catholic Youth Organization. Since then, the group has traveled throughout the United States and Mexico and are invited to perform at important national events, including

MALDEF opposes June reapportionment initiatives
Says Propositions Will Exclude His-panics From Political Process
(Los Angeles, May 1, 1990) The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) is voicing strong opposition to Propositions 118 and 119, calling the two remap initiatives short-sighted, unfair and a giant step backward. MALDEF says the propositions would violate the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and adversely affect the ability of Hispanics and other minorities to influence the reapportionment process. Speaking before the Joint Hearing of
the Senate and Assembly Election and Reapportiotunent Committees in Sacramento on April 26, MALDEF staff attomey Denise Hulett told the Committee that both propositions constitute a change in statewide voting proce-

dures that willrequire preclearance with the U.S. Department of Justice under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Hulett testified that the State would have to prove that the changes are justified and do not have a discriminatory effect on the ability of minorities to participate in the political process. Considering such factors as present or past discrimination and the extent to which minorities have been denied an equal opportunity to participate meaningfully in the politick processes of the state, Hulett told committee members, "under the above regulations, both of the propositions in question are fatally flawed." Hulett pointed out that Proposition 119, the Independent Citizens Redistricting Initiative, excludes minority participation in "the reapportionment process by placing the responsibility for plan selection in the hands of a commission completely unaccountable to California's minority communities." The commission would be appointed by retired appellate court judges, and Hulett noted that only 6 of the 70 retired judges are racial/ethnic minorities: 3 are African Americans, 2 are Asian and 1 is Hispanic. According to MALDEF, Proposition
118 does not fare much better. Hulett said the Legislative Ethicis Ehforce-ment Initiative of 1990 "renders minor-
. ity iitflirencea yirtualtimpossibility by requiring that any reapportionment plan be adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Legislature." Emphasizing her point to the committee, Hulett stressed, "Specifically, we can expect that the Justice Department will examine whether, in the past, the minority communities have been able to gamer 2/3 of the legislative vote on issues of interest to those communities. All of us in this room," she said bluntly, "know that such has not been the case." MALDEF officials say the initiatives
seek to change the rules of the game when Hispanics and other minorities are prepared to capitalize on the political gains they have made through hard-fought court challenges against discriminatory elections systems.
State School Crime Report According to the latest school crime
report released by the State Department of Education, California schools are seeing a much-hoped-for-decrease in substance abuse, but on the downside, there appears to be an increase in assaults and possession of weapons. E. Neal Roberts, Superintendent, San Bernardino Gty Unified School District, said today the District has made progress in reducing school crime, but that there are still some areas of serious concern. In general, the District's crime figures followed the same trend as the State figures showing decreases in substance abuse, theft, and burglary, but increases in assaults, possession of weapons and assault with deadly weapons. The reporting period was from July 1, 1988 through June 30, 1989 and is based on an enrollment of 34,219. "We obviously are not satisfied with these figuresi" Dr. Roberts said, "there is no doubt we still have a tremendous job ahead of us. We are very concemed and we are channeling considerable resources into combating drugs and school crime. It is a high priority for the administration and the Board of Education. Our students and our teachers haye a right to safe and secure schools. "Although our percentages went up in some areas, the numbers of students involved in criminal activity are a very small percentage of the total student enrollment. For the most part, our students are good citizens and are seriously pursuing positive educational goals. But we realize even a relatively small number of gang and drug involved students cause problems way out of proportion to their numbers and are not to be tolerated."
The crime rate was also up in the city of San Bernardino, Dr. Roberts noted. "With crime increasing all around-more and more gang and drug activity--it follows that this would be reflected in our schools. Our schools are not islands unto themselves, but reflect the social problems of the larger community. Because of this, any effort to fight gangs and drugs must be a coop^^ye one with parents and community 1^." Dr. Roberts said the district has an excellent partnership with local law enforcement, as evidenced by the successful DARE program, the joint efforts to eradicate graffiti and the recently formed gang task force headed by Board of Education member Hardy Brown and City Coimcilman Jess Flores.
The District's policy on gang apparel and the Board of Education's study of closed campuses, were cited by Dr. Roberts as among the efforts the District is taking to secure its campuses, "peer counseling-students helping students to reject gangs and drags-has been shown to have great potential.in our intervention and prevention efforts.' We will continue these efforts and vyjll ccMitinueutoexfdQre as well. But I want to make it ̂ ear tfi^ we wiU not tum our campuses over to hooligans. We will have safe caifl-puses." Joe Hume, Chief of the School District Police Force, said some measures that are being looked into are a reorganization of the school police and security forces to provide for enhanced deployment and response to calls for assistance, and perhaps having sworii officers placed on school campuses.

Encarnacion (Chona) Coyazo selected Inland Empire Hispanic News 1990
" Mother-of-the-Year " Encarnacion (Chona) Mendez Coyazo of Rcdlands has been selected Mother of the Year for 1990 by the Inland Empire Hispanic News. Mrs. Coyazo epitomizes the older Hispanic woman and mother in which traditions and customs are still in practice. She turned 81 of^^ay 9th, however, the family got together at the Sylvan Park on Sunday, May 6, to celebrate her birthday prematurely to insure that all the relatives would be able to attend. Mrs. Coyazo was bom in 1909 at El
Paso, Texas and the family moved to the San Diego area when she was three months old. At nine years of age, her father was killed in an accident. Friends and com padres helped her mother move to Redlands in 1918. At the tender age of 15, Chona Mendez married Samuel Coyazo in 1924. They moved to Lawton Street where ten children were bom and raised. Mr. and Mrs. Coyazo had a very happy marriage and enjoyed their children. They also enjoyed music and dancing.
Encarnacion (Chona) Coyazo
Needless to say, they had many friends and compadres and the Coyazos were continually invited to weddings and baptismal celebrations. They were members of the Sociedad Progesista and she belonged to the Sociedad Femenil. The Coyazos were active members of their church, walking with their children to Sacred Heart Church across town and the Catholic Mission Church on Calhoun Street and the present Saint Mary's Church. Mr. Coyazo was part of the construction firm that built Saint Mary. , -Since 1946, Mrs. Coyazo has been
involved in the Posadas in Redlands and enjoys having a posada at their home. "This is the real meaning of Christmas to me," she said. Sitting in her neat living room, she was very alert and enjoyed talking about her marriage and children. When asked about her children and if she had any problems raising them, she said, "I was the disciplinarian in our house and I didn't let my children get away with anything. They all became good parents and I am very happy alx>ut that." In 1974, Mr. and Mrs. Coyazo cele
brated their 50th wedding anniversary, which was attended by the many relatives, compadres, (and there were many) and friends. Mr. Coyazo died soon after the anniversary. Mrs. Coyazo lives across the street
from where her children were bom. She is visited by her children, grandchildren (55), great-grandchildren (71) and great-great-grandchildren (3 and one on the way) and enjoys the attention given her. Her daughter. Vera Aranda, said that her mother also has large amounts of cooked food because there are always some grandkids visiting their grandmother and they also use her house as a communication center!
Five Generations Grandma Chona with daughter Rita, granddaughter Fran, great grandson Robert,Jr. and great great granddaughter Evette. She walks to church four times a week and on Sundays, one of her grandchildren takes her to Mass and breakfast. She had a heart attack several years ago,butisveryhealthynow. "We watch her health very closely," said her daughter, Vera. When asked what she thought about
the present way of life, "I am still a disciplinarian and all my grandchil
dren get it when they get out of hand. Too many young people expect to get help from the government. They should get an education, get a job and live a good Christian way of life, I have lived a good life, my husband, Sam, was a hard worker. We did everything together and we were very happy. I have no regrets. Life has been good to me, thank God."
BSrter Exchange celebrates five years in business Tony DeLaTorre III, founder and owner of the Barter Exchange celebrated five years in the business recently at Edwards Mansion in Redlands.
Founded in 1985 with only a handful of charter members, the Exchange has grown to over 220 members; the most recent members being A-Amazing Pest Control and Hitec Security Systems. Other business that are members of the Barter include: video shops, restaurants, dentists, printers, watch and jewelry repair, and motels.
DeLaTorre explains the bartering concept as, "businesses sell their goods or services at the same retail monetary value in barter credits for other mem
bers of the exchange. The selling business accumulates barter credits to buy goods and services from other members that they previously paid cash for." Sales tax is paid- at the time of the
I
transaction. The accounting and credit aspects are handled by DeLaTorre and his staff. The 5th anniversary banquet was celebrated on Sunday, April 29, at a brunch at Edwards Mansion, a long time member of the Barter Exchange, with over 100 members and their families. In his opening remarks DeLaTorre
praised his late father , Tony DeLaTorre, for his success. "My father was a hard working family man who knew the value of honesty and integrity. He

taught me and my brothersInd sisters you treat people the way you want them to treat you." He added, "I miss my father, but I know if he were here today
he would be happy because the principles he taught me as a child are what makes the Barter the succe^ it is today." . ;

Dr. Ernest Garcia retiring from Cal State
Dr. Ernest Gariua In July, 1990, Dr. Ernest Garcia, Dean, School of Education, California State University, San Bernardino, will be retiring after a long and distinguished career in the field of education. "The retirement from a formal educa
tional profession," he stated, "will allow more time for me to do part-time teaching and consulting wo±. In addition, 1 will be able to become more involved with community woilc like the YWCA, Sinfonia Mexicana, Canto Bello Chorale and Inland Empire Symphony Association, which have been of main interest to me." The formal educational profession
which Dr. Garcia refers to covers 38 years of teaching at elementary, secondary and college levels, curriculum and program development, school administration and educational consulting. "1 started my teaching career, with
emeigency teaching credentials, with the Barstow School District in 1952. My co-teachers at that time were two San Bemardino residents, Judy VaDes-Smith and Ruth Valles-DeSadier. 1 acquired teacher and administrative credentials at the University of Red-lands as a result of summer college work and my B A in Social Science and Psychology at the University of California, Riverside. 1 am very proud of the fact that 1 was the first Hispanic to
was appointed as a double session (the youngest) principal at Henderson School in Barstow. In 1956, he was appointed laboratory demonstration teacher for the, then. Mission School District. During the summers. Dr. Garcia taught at flie University of Redlands.
He was appointed in 1958 as the Coordinator of Modem Foreign Language Instruction and Programs for the Gifted in the Rialto School District tmder Dr. John Milor. During his tenure, Dr. Garcia was recognized for the development of language programs and tte leading Spanish Language Instructor. From 1961 to 1967, he was principal at Dunn School in Rialto. However, in 1962-63, he took leave to become a consultant in education research and development for the System Development Corporation, which included research in computer-assisted instruction, instmctional technology and administrative models. He was Associate Professor of Education at the University of Redlands from 1967 to 1968, being advisor in the Graduate Program. Since 1968 to the present. Dr. Garcia
has been associated with Cal State, San Bemardino in various educational and administrative positions. He has held the positions of Associate Professor of
in California to hold that position, the others being Dolores Escobar, San Jose State and Rudy Serrano from Bak-ersfield State, (who was also raised in Col ton). When asked who were the persons in
his life that helped in his career, Dr. Garcia leaned back in his chair, with a reflective look and smile on his face. "1 was raised in the barrio of South
Colton and 1 knew early in my youth that 1 would be going to college. My parents continually encouraged me to do well in my studies. However, one of the greatest influences in my life, in terms of motivating me to get an education, was my sister Hilda. She left home to go to UCLA, which was very unusual at that time for a woman to do. When she would come home to visit from school, we would have lengthy discussions about education, the necessity and advantages of going to college, and she would encourage me to go into higher education. 1 am very grateful to my sister and 1 owe her a lot. Mr Ray Abril,Sr. also had a direct impact on my life," he said. "1 also had good teachers that would
talk and encourage me to further my education. At Wilson, 1 had teachers like Mrs. Calla French, Ms. Mo sand Mrs. Snider (who was feared b> every student). In high school, track coach Don Green was very influential. Throughout my school years, 1 was involved with sports, band; various school clubs, in addition to keeping up with my studies. But sometimes the girls would compete with my activities," he said with a smile. According to Dr. Garcia, times were
very hard for every family living in South Colton. As an example, he stated that of the 72 students graduating from the eighth grade, only 18 students continued into high school. This was the era when every family member had to woik in order to make a living. During this period in his life, he also
woiked while going to school. He said that his friend, Ray Gonzalez and he were very entrepreneurial, working in various jobs in the Colton area, picking the harvests (which included picking oranges, and he became a cienero) in citrus picking in Hemet and excelled in picking apricots and potatoes in Nucvo.
As was the tradition, he gave his Mother half of the earnings and he deposited his share in savings for his education. (His Mother saved all the earnings he had given her and returned them to him when he was going to college). After graduating from high school,
and although he had some college preparatory courses, the courses were insufficient to enter UCLA. He enrolled at San Bemardino Valley College on a Rotary scholarship and using his savings, taking college preparatory courses. He continued to become involved in school activities. One^^v-ity which he organized was taking a group of Hispanic college students, which included (Ernest Lopez (who became a judge in Riverside), Fred Lopez (an attorney), Odie Martinez (school administrator and former mayor of Redlands), Leo Lopez (current State Director of Bilingual Education), Gil Garcia (comptroller for Kaiser), Harry Lopez (doctor) and Hiram Diaz ( San Bemardino resident and community activist) to various segregated schools, including Alessandro (then a junior high in San Bemardino) and Wilson School, talking to the students about higher education and encouraging them to continue into college!
"1 enjoyed going to Valley College because 1 was really getting an education. 1 also had good mentors like Gordan Adkins and Dr. Roger'Anton (who is a legend at Valley College)," he said.
Graduating from Valley College, he enlisted in the service for two years, returning to civilian life in 1952 where he started teaching in the Barstow School District. Dr. Garcia has had five major publications, four documents and has appeared in a film series; he has been appointed to 31 advisoiy groups, panels and boards throughout the United states; has had 21 selected papers and presentations; and has been on 13 major consultant-ships.

In Retrospect By: Dr. Ernest Garcia
1 have thoroughly enjoyed my career in education. Although, from time to time 1 reflect on opportunities that 1 had to go into agency work with the state or national government, to remain with a think tank like System Development Corporation, or to go off to Venezuela where 1 had the opportunity to head the American schools. But in the end what 1 have done has been enjoyable, challenging, and perhaps even productive. When I'm asked what advice 1 would give to youngsters considering college, my response is simple and specific. Leam to read, read to leam, and write, write, write. Those skills are critical to success in school. Obviously, there are other factors that are important, but the literate person who can understand and analyze text and can express orally ̂ d in writing the ideas derived from reading is well on the way to success in school. Early in my college career 1 read a.book entitled Number, The Language of Science by Tobias Danzig. The fact that 1 was able to read this book and understand its message changed my attitude toward math and its applications. Mrs. Snider (my math teacher) would have been proud!

Rivera ouster protested - From page 1 requirement for graduation; honor program to be implemented in 1990; re-entry program for women; increased enrollment of Hispanic, African-American and Asian students; improvement of the counseling services. He further stated that Rivera was willing to make changes that were needed to improve the quality of education and hold personnel accountable. He questioned the evaluation process in which both presidents were evaluated with different forms, which would result in a negative response for Rivera and in essence, created a double standard of evaluation. He recommended that President Rivera's contract be renewed.
As a result of the vote. President Rivera's supporters became angry and began shouting, accusing the trustees of "conducting an illegal public hearing," and other accusations, including "lack of respect for the citizens wishing to make public comment on an agenda item." Other persons challenged the Board, and specifically Chairperson Gresham, in the conduct of a public meeting.
Dr. Armando Navarro, Director of Impacto 2000 and community activist, on Thursday, May 10,1990, issued the following statement: "The meeting in which Dr. Rivera was denied a contract is symptomatic of problems that are surfacing throughout the country that are affecting Latinos, and we are enter
ing the 90's with a very precarious future. The action of the Board of Trustees should be interpreted as a slap not only to Dr. Rivera, but to the Latino community. There is callousness, in-sensitivity and a kangaroo court mentality, and a lack of respect toward us as Latinos. "Analyzing the (board) meeting, it is
reminiscent of the attitudes and complacency of the old South in the 50's, the difference being that instead of African-Americans voicing their concerns, in this instance, they are Latinos. Tlie ugly face of bigotry and prejudice toward Latinos is very much alive by the behavior of the Board of Trustees in not giving us the opportunity to speak in defense of Dr. Rivera. "The winds of democratic change are blowing in other parts of the world and are in direct contrast to the winds of conflict in San Bernardino. The Board chooses to uphold these winds by not allowing participation in the democratic process. This spirit (of democracy) is over shadowed by authoritarianism which is reminiscent of a dictatorship. "This action and behavior by the Board will be the mobilizaticm of the Latino community toward insuring that this incident of disrespect will not be taken lightly. San Bernardino is fast becoming the
Montgomery, Alabama of the movement of Latinos throughout this areai;*'
C Tucson Mariachi Conference - From Page 1 ) the Nixon Inauguration and the signing of the Chamizal Treaty in Mexico. Many members of the internationally-known Mariachi Cobre came from this youth mariachi group. The concert on Friday was a festival.
The Tucson Convention Center was filled to capacity. This event was special, in that, Univision was taping the show in order to show it in Latin America, Spain and Italy. There were many abrazos and handshakes among the attendees, indicating that this was like a family clan social. Master of Ceremonies Jose Ronstadt
gave a heart-warming bilingual welcome to the audience. The Mariachi Changuitos Feos De
Tucson performed very well and was given a warm reception, followed by the Mariachi Cobre, a young professional group, who were very exceptional. The Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano, as usual, did not disappoint the audience, especially the songs of Monica Trevino. Beatriz Adriana sang a variety of songs which were well received by the audience. The world-famous Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan was received with a standing ovation and they gave an excellent performance. The three mariachi groups combined
to play the famous "Huapango" by Pablo
Moncayo, and the groups were given a standing ovation. Linda Ronstadt sang a number of songs from her various albums and being a home-town girl, many standing ovations were given to her. Jose Luis Rodriguez, "El Puma", famous Latin America star, was very weU received before he even started to sing, especially from the women in the audience. He sang each romantic ballad very well, which was confirmed by the audience's applause (and again, by^'i the women's response). He sang two encore songs and ended the concert. The following day (Saturday), a Mariachi Mass was celebrated at Saint Augustine's Cathedral with the diocesan Bishop as celebrant. The following night, the group dined
at the famous La Fuente Restaurant, (this is a must when visiting Tucson), where the atmosphere is very Mexican, tastefully decorated and very colorful. The restaurant was full to capacity and diners' expended an attitude of celebrating another successful Conference. It seems that every important person in Tucson was present, including members of the performing mariachi bands and "El Puma". The service was very efficient and the food was excellent. On Sunday, a very happy and satisfied group of tourists returned to the Inland Empire.
