Pospuesta audiencia a
hondureña acusada de
muertes de inmigrantes
Por JUAN A. LOZANO
HOUSTON (AP): La
presunta cabecilla de una
operación de contrabando
humano en la que murieron
19 indocumentados tendrá
que esperar una semana para
saber si le otorgan la libertad
bajo fianza.
El juez Calvin Botley
pospuso el jueves la audiencia
para Karla Patricia Chávez,
de 25 años, ya que la
hondureña contrató nuevos
abogados que necesitan más
tiempo para estudiar los cargos que penden contra ella.
La audiencia fue
pospuesta para el 26 de junio.
El lunes, el fiscal federal
Michael Shelby acusó a
Chávez y a otras 13 personas
de participar en el ingreso
ilegal a Estados Unidos de
decenas de indocumentados.
La operación terminó el
14 mayo con el descubrimiento de un grupo de
personas en un remolque
abandonado al sur de Houston, en una zona de descanso
de camiones en Victoria.
Un total de 17 personas
murieron dentro del camión,
mientras que los otros dos
perecieron después. Las
víctimas fallecieron como
consecuencia de la deshidratación, hipotermia y falta
de aire. Entre los muertos se
encontraba
un
niño
mexicano de cinco años.
Los 14 son acusados de
varios cargos de asociación
ilícita para esconder o
transportar a los inmigrantes.
Doce de ellos podrían
enfrentar la pena de muerte
si los fiscales deciden
pedirla.
La hondureña es acusada
de ser la cabecilla de la célula
de contrabandistas y de otras
tres redes. Según los fiscales,
Chávez cobró entre 1.500 y
1.900 dólares a cada
indocumentado que quería
ir a Estados Unidos.
Las autoridades dicen
que Chávez ofrecía comida
de su restaurante a los
inmigrantes que escondía.
Más
de
70
indocumentados procedentes de México, Centroamérica y la República
Dominicana estaban siendo
transportados hacia Estados
Unidos en el camión en el
que se produjo la tragedia.
Cuarenta y cinco
indocumentados
que
sobrevivieron
fueron
detenidos. La mayoría ha
sido puesta en libertad. Los
fiscales señalaron que los
que sirven de testigos
contarán
con
visas
temporales. Los otros serán
deportados.
Chávez, residente legal
en Estados Unidos, fue
detenida el viernes cuando
trataba de entrar en territorio
guatemalteco desde su país.
Las autoridades guatemaltecas la extraditaron el
sábado a Estados Unidos.

Alicia Guerra hard at work at TERRA
Alicia Guerra finds a future at
TERRA Community College
Alicia Guerra’s first
week of classes last fall
was filled with apprehension and a few tears.
No, she wasn’t a fiveyear-old leaving her
mother for kindergarten.
Alicia Guerra was a 46-yearold, mother of four, firsttime college student. And
now, nine short months
later, she is so happy to be
at Terra Community College, in Fremont, Ohio, that
she isn’t even taking the
summer off.
“I was very scared at
first” Guerra, a Port
Clinton resident, said.
“I am kind of a perfectionist, and I felt that my
English was not good
enough at first. I did cry,
and I almost quit. But I
thought, if I quit, what
would I do?”
Guerra’s decision to attend Terra was prompted
by a workplace incident.
She was a full-time baker at
Kroger’s in Port Clinton
when she was injured and
could no longer meet the
physical demands of the job.
To make matters worse, her
husband, Mario, was already
disabled.
“It was very frustrating,”
she said.
“I’ve always worked hard
all my life, and you could
say I was a little depressed. I
didn’t know what to do, but
I knew I wasn’t going to just
stare at the four walls.”
Guerra, a graduate of Port
Clinton High School, isn’t
one to let obstacles stand in
the way very long. As a
child, she had to overcome a
language barrier when she
went to grade school. While
her parents were born in
Texas, Spanish was the language spoken at home. And
also when she was young,
she helped her family pick
tomatoes in area fields on
weekends and throughout
the summer.
Last summer, convinced that education was
the path to a good job,
Guerra decided to go to
college and made a visit to
Terra. After consultation
with admission counselors
and career advisors, she
chose to pursue a degree in
Office Administration with
a Medical Secretarial Major. She started her college
career last fall.
“It was scary at the beginning, but all of the kids
in my classes were really
helpful and nice,” she said.
“I had never worked with a
computer before so this
was a new experience.”
Now Guerra’s tears are
those of joy.
“I just get so excited
about school,” she said.
“The environment here
and knowing that I am
learning so much makes
me want to be here. And
my kids are amazed and
really proud of me.”
Guerra is determined to
finish her degree in two
years.
“You watch me walk
down that aisle next year
at graduation,” she said.
With her associate degree in hand, she plans to
get a good job with benefits and then start work
toward a bachelor’s degree.
Guerra’s advice for others of any age?
“Fight your fear to accomplish what you want,”
she said. “It is worth coming to college. It’s never
too late.”
June/junio 25, 2003
To the Editor of La Prensa:
Jointly, through the efforts of a great team at the Center for Chicano-Boricua Studies
(CBS), along with Wayne State University’s College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan
Affairs (CULMA), we are proud of our many recent accomplishments.
In addition to an increase in recruitment and retention, we are especially proud of the
caliber of our students, their academic achievements, and the effectiveness of CBS’s
innovative programs that our students help to implement.
At CBS we have a strong team of professional and dedicated counselors who recruit over
100 students, of which approximately 50 enroll each academic year and receive academic
advising.
We operate a sophisticated advising, counseling, and tracking for students who are not
doing well academically; success seminars; reading-skill courses; tutoring; student-led
discussion sessions; personal counseling; and access to other university services.
CBS and the Latino En Marcha Scholarship Selection Committee support academic
achievement by awarding approximately $150,000 annually in scholarships to students
who qualify on the basis of merit, need, and service.
The Center’s innovative programs are an effort to create a pipeline of Latinos pursuing
higher education while, at the same time, providing opportunities for our CBS students to
enhance their leadership skills as they make a difference in the Latino community.
The following programs are examples of such efforts:
¨ “Community Outreach K-8 Recruitment Program: Pathways to Success,” a program
designed for Latino college students who offer bilingual/interactive presentations tailored
for local elementary and middle school minority students. The concept is to bring Latino
role models to young students K-8, so that they begin thinking about college preparation
and seeing themselves as future successful students at CBS.
¨ Free tutoring in Math, Spanish and English.
¨ CBS Latina/o E-mail Group was created for students, faculty, staff, and community to
exchange information and promote dialogue about different issues.
¨ Campus Tours: The CBS recruitment process includes a new program providing
prospective students with campus tours. Between 2000 and 2002, 520 students participated
in a campus tour led by CBS students and staff.
¨ Voces of CBS (Voices of CBS) is the Center’s choir providing a forum to share the
diversity of the Latino culture and music, as we foster Latino student pride and provide a sense
of belonging for our students. The choir helps with student recruitment and fund raising
because it gives visibility to CBS, CULMA and WSU as we visit corporate offices, schools,
universities and community organizations.
¨ Success Seminar Course, an opportunity for students to learn how to navigate the
university, improve study skills, how to use the library and meeting Latino role models
during class visits.
We look forward to a long and rewarding future for the Center for Chicano-Boricua Studies
and the students we serve. Challenges are before us as the nation’s universities and colleges
face a budget crisis in Higher Education, and particularly here in Michigan with a continuing
decline in state appropriated dollars to public universities.
We will continue to lead the effort to provide equitable access to a quality university
education for Latina/o students while enhancing the environment of diversity campus wide.
Sincerely,
Katalina Berdy

Alleged leader in deadly immigrant-smuggling
operation arrested; Honduran in custody in Texas
By JUAN A. LOZANO
Associated Press Writer
HOUSTON (AP): Investigators believe a 25-year-old
Honduran woman was the
ringleader of the nation’s
deadliest smuggling attempt
that ended in the deaths of 19
people crammed into a stifling trailer.
Prosecutors unsealed an
indictment Monday accusing
Karla Patricia Chávez and 13
others of organizing or facilitating the trip that ended May
14 when the crowded trailer
was found abandoned at a
truck stop in Victoria, 100
miles southwest of Houston.
Seventeen immigrants
died at the scene, and two
others died later.
“This is all about money.
These aren’t people who are
trying to make a better life for
(others) and just providing
them a pathway,” U.S. Attorney Michael Shelby said last
Monday. “This is about an
American dollar bill and
people that will do anything
and risk anyone’s life in order
to gain that dollar bill.”
Chávez, a legal resident of
the United States, was arrested
last Friday trying to enter Guatemala from her native Honduras. She was deported to the
United States on Saturday and
had a bail hearing Thursday.
Chávez is accused of leading a smuggling cell that was
in charge of three other rings
involved in the operation.
Prosecutors said she set the
price per immigrant at $1,500
to $1,900, organized their
transport through México and
into the United States, and arranged safe houses in Texas.
The 14 were charged with
various counts of conspiracy
to conceal or transport immigrants. Twelve could face the
death penalty if prosecutors
decide to pursue it.
“If you consider this a series
of gears, clearly there was one
central gear that made everything else function the way it
was supposed to and that central gear is located right around
Ms. Chávez,” Shelby said.
Nine suspects, including the
driver, were in custody Monday, while five remained at
large. The driver of the truck
was arrested hours after the
victims were discovered.
More than 70 immigrants
FLOC + BGSU = ESL
By Fletcher Word
La Prensa Staff Writer
Bowling Green State University will be teaming with
the Farm Labor Organizing
Committee (FLOC) this summer to provide northwest
Ohio migrant farm workers
with an opportunity to take
English as a second language
(ESL) classes.
Sheri Wells-Jensen, a
BGSU assistant professor and
linguist, will be conducting a
summer program at the university to prospective teachers of
ESL. Part of the course work
will involve hands-on instruction.
The class has received state
funding for the project and has
solicited the assistance of
FLOC to introduce the BGSU
class to migrant workers and
organize camp classes for those
workers.
The BGSU class will start at
the end of June and, according
to Wells-Jensen, will pair pro-

America, and the Dominican Republic were crammed
into the tractor-trailer.
Among the dead was a 5year-old boy from México.
Fifty-four immigrants
who survived were taken
into custody, and most have
since been freed. Prosecutors said those needed as
witnesses will be given temporary visas to stay in the
United States. The others
will be returned home.
The last two of the 19
immigrants who died were
identified Tuesday as
Chelve Benitez-Jaramillo
and Rogelio DominguezBenitez, both from México.
The victims died from dehydration, hyperthermia,
and suffocation.
Also arrested Friday was
Claudia Carrizales de Villa,
34, a Mexican citizen who
lives in Harlingen. Tuesday
morning, U.S. Magistrate
Judge John William Black
ordered that she be transferred to Houston after de
Villa said through a translator that she understood the
charges.

Not everyone in the class

There are still a few openings for the class. The class

Construction workers, paid at Mexican wage
rates, sue employer at U. S. worksite
Four Mexican citizens
brought suit in federal court
in Toledo last week against
their U.S. employer and its
wholly owned Mexican subsidiary for paying them at
Mexican wage rates ($2$3.50 per hour) for work done
in Findlay, Ohio last year.
The lawsuit, RamirezCervantes, et al. v. Hi Tech
Systems, Inc., et al., case no.
3:03CV7298 and assigned
to Judge James G. Carr, alleges that the plaintiffs were
improperly brought in to
work on a construction
project at Findlay, Ohio’s
Molten (North America)
Corporation’s auto trim assembly facility.
The workers are represented by Advocates for Basic Legal Equality (ABLE).
The suit charges that the
defendant, a corporation
headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, contracted with
the workers in México at Mexican wage rates and then improperly brought them in on
business visas instead of visas
requiring the employer to first
search for U.S. workers and pay
the prevailing wage.
“The defendants here ignored federal laws protecting
U.S. workers from unfair competition by foreign workers.
The plaintiffs were entitled to
the prevailing area wage, approximately $24 per hour. The
defendants engaged in illegal
activity which gave them an
unfair competitive advantage
in obtaining a construction
contract,” says ABLE attorney Mark R. Heller.
“This case is about bringing third world working conditions to the U.S. in violation
of federal law,” adds Heller.
“These problems were
brought to the attention of
the owner of the facility,
government officials, and the
public last year while the
work was being performed,
but no corrective action was
taken by the responsible
parties.
“What makes it even more
outrageous is that the facility being worked on by the
plaintiffs received a tax credit
by the State of Ohio. The
result is that U.S. workers
were not employed as required by law, but had to
subsidize the company
building the facility,” said
Heller.
The suit asks for the defendants to pay damages in
the amount of the prevailing
wage for all work done by
plaintiffs and applicable
overtime.

Matricula Consular
ISAAC, Migrant Legal SerKalamazoo, on June 16,
joined the long list in Michigan and Ohio, including the
cities of Detroit, Grand Rapids, Battle Creek, Lansing,
Pontiac, Monroe, Southgate,
Southfield, Toledo, Fremont,
and Cleveland, and the counties of Wayne and Oceana,
that recognize the Matricula
Consular—the Mexican identification card issued to Mexican nationals living and working in the United States.
The picture ID was recognized largely for its humanitarian purposes in a resolution approved on a 5-2 vote
by the Kalamazoo City
Commission.
The office of the Consul
of México in Detroit,
through Sr. Antonio Meza
Estrada, urged Kalamazoo to
recognize the card as a valid
identification for holders,
many of whom are temporarily
working or visiting in the U.S.
and lack a driver’s license or
other forms of ID.
The cards help Mexicans
open bank accounts and obtain other basic services, and
can aid in identification and
family notification when a
Mexican national is an accident victim or involved in
other emergencies.

DENVER (AP): Foreign

México deporta a
heredero de Max Factor
PUERTO VALLARTA,
México (AP): Las autoridades
mexicanas deportaron el
jueves hacia Estados Unidos a
Andrew Luster, heredero de la
firma de cosméticos Max Factor, acusado de violación.
Las autoridades de
inmigración mexicanas
dijeron que Luster fue
deportado a California, donde
su abogado planea apelar la
condena mediante un recurso
legal que estaba a punto de
expirar.
La policía mexicana arrestó
el miércoles a Luster después
de que protagonizó una
escaramuza con cazadores de
fugitivos en la ciudad costera
de Puerto Vallarta. La policía
de inmigración lo mantiene
en un centro de detención de la
Ciudad de México.
Las autoridades arrestaron
también a otros cinco
estadounidenses:
tres
cazadores de fugitivos, un
camarógrafo
de
televisión, y a otro hombre.
Aunque la policía mexicana
dijo originalmente que el
camarógrafo se había
identificado
como
empleado del programa
televisivo “America’s Most
Wanted”

Más
Buscados en Estados Unidos),
el vocero del programa negó la

Colorado marriage laws do
not exclude foreigners from
getting married in the state.
Before the law, foreign passports and birth certificates
were accepted.
At least two of Colorado’s
64 county clerk and recorder
offices are interpreting the new
law in varying ways.
Since early June, the Den-
has rejected 47 marriage licenses for people from Chile,
Ethiopia, Mexico, Russia and
Switzerland.
“In all honesty, we’re not
sure what we’re supposed to
be accepting,” said Sherry
Jackson, Denver’s clerk and
recorder.
“It’s totally confusing,”
she said. “It’s upsetting the
people we’ve had to turn
away.”
Some couples have left her
office in tears, wearing the
suits or dresses they planned
to wed in.

que Luster fue enviado a
Estados Unidos en un vuelo
comercial. El FBI dijo que iba
rumbo a Los Angeles.
En enero, un tribunal de
California condenó en
ausencia a Luster por cargos
de violación, envenenamiento y posesión de drogas
y lo sentenció a 124 años de
cárcel. días después que él
desapareció durante un receso
en su juicio, a pesar de haber
pagado una fianza de un millón
de dólares.
Un tribunal californiano no
había dado lugar a la apelación
porque Luster es un fugitivo,
pero Diamond dijo que la fecha
límite para la apelar el fallo
judicial es el viernes.
Cuando vuelva a California, será enviado a una prisión
estatal mientras presenta su
apelación, al igual que
cualquier otro delincuente,

workers of TMC
Texas Migrant Council,
Inc. (TMC) is a nonprofit
organization created in
1971 that serves the children of migrant farm workers of Texas. The original
concept was to serve the
migrant farm worker families working in Texas harvesting the seasonal crops.
The TMC provides programs such as: Infants and
Toddlers Program, Substance Abuse Prevention,
Child Abuse and Neglect
Program, National Resource Center on MexicanAmerican Studies, and
Child Care Management
System and Work Force
Centers.
In the last 22 years, the
TMC has expanded its services to the states of Indiana, Iowa, North Dakota,
Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Washington, Michigan,
and Ohio during their harvesting season.
Ohio branch offices include offices in New
Carlisle,
Wauseon,
Willard,
Hartville,
Pandora, Fremont, Helena,
Bowling Green, and
Millbury.
Last week, Toledo City
Councilman
Wade
Kapszukiewicz made an
appearance at the Fremont
office to explain how the
Northwest Ohio Pharmacy
Card Network can assist migrant workers.
“Migrant workers work
hard and honestly and deserve a decent break. I believe that our pharmacy card
program can help in a small
way to keep migrant families
healthy,”
said
Kapszukiewicz.
The Northwest Ohio Pharmacy Card Network was created in March of 2003. Thirteen communities, including: Toledo, Lucas County,
Oregon, Rossford, Haskins,
Walbridge, Northwood,
Genoa, Bowling Green, and
Wauseon, have all passed
resolutions to create the
Northwest Ohio Pharmacy
Card Network. This group
offers to their citizens a threepart program:
• A free discount card offering a discount of between
15 and 18 percent off the
price of prescription drugs
bought at retail,
• An American mail order
program that will give people
the chance to get drugs that
they need every day at a discount of about 20%, and
• A Canadian mail order
option that will reduce the
cost of day-to-day drugs even
more.
After Kapszukiewicz’s
presentation,
Louis
Guardiola, Jr., the Ohio
TMC director, thanked the
councilman.
“We appreciate Wade
coming here today. That
he’s willing to drive an hour
to try to make a difference
in the lives of Ohio’s migrant workers is a real testament to his commitment to
working people of all races.”
These drug cards are
available for City of Toledo residents at three senior centers: Zablocki on
Lagrange Street at Central
Avenue,
Kahle
on
Havenhurst in the Library
Village area, and Friendship Park on 131st Street in
Point Place.
Cards for the other participating communities are
being distributed through
their local offices and
health centers.
The mail order program
kits are available through
the group’s website
www.RxSave.org
or
through the mail.
More information is
available from 1-800-3291969 or from Toledo City
Council offices at 419-2451050.
There is no cost to join
this program.

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)
This week is no time for excessive independent behavior.
Try to tone down any possible conflicts between work and
home. By the week’s end, you will seem more like yourself

TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)
Any career efforts should be put on hold this week, and
extra time should be spent with loved ones... you won’t be
sorry at the results. The next month will definitely favor
marriage or other close ties. Don’t rely on a friend for
support; you’ll be disappointed.
★
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)
You have a number of positive trends going for you this
week, starting with romance—there are also excellent job
and career indications. Your upbeat feelings are real and
contagious to those around you. Adopt a low profile near the
week’s end, making no decisions.
★
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)
Domestic troubles seem to be highlighted this week and
may jar you into reality. Get to the heart of the matter as soon
as possible, and don’t defeat yourself by talking in circles.
Draw on your intelligence and common sense, and project
your charm.
★
A
★
LEO:
(July 24- August 23)
Your financial picture looks quite rosy this week. Make
sure to save a few dollars for a rainy day. It’s time to stop
bottling up your feelings, express your anger in a constructive way. Make sure to speak clearly to avoid any misunderstandings among cohorts.
★
★
VIRGO:
(August 24 - September 23)
Although expectations are high this week, it may be best
to lay low, don’t make waves, and wait for a better day - for
you are bound to meet with opposition everywhere you turn.
Avoid any overindulgence or overdoing; in all ways guard
your health and mindset.

LIBRA:

★
(September 24 - October 23)
A rather dullish mood will give away to a real sense of
being alive, and an interesting job idea promises to send
more income your way, if you are more than willing to learn
a new skill. Home is where the heart is, and home is where
you will find happiness.
★
★
SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)
This week seems to be mostly pleasant, even though a bit
ho-hum. Zero in on chores both at work and in the home,
which need to get done, and you will feel like you’ve
accomplished something. Some home members may not be
quite in sync with you, causing friction.
★
A
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)
The week seems to revolve around money and social
interests—and they may integrally relate to each other.
Resist any urges to speculate or take risks concerning
financial rewards. Try to avoid making any firm commitments, or breaking any close alliances.
★
★
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)
Your creativity is strong during the week, whether in a
solo project or group situation. Romance may also put stars
in your eyes, as you and a loved one see heart-to-heart on an
important issue. Delay any important decisions until all the
facts are clear.
★
A
★
AQUARIUS:
★
★
(January 21 - February 19)
During the next few weeks you are likely to make a major
decision regarding your highest ambitions; a big job or
career change is completely possible, but don’t do anything
unless it’s been researched from all ends. It’s time to get
involved in ongoing education.
★
★
A
★
PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)
This week may seem just like a struggle for survival—
primarily on the job, but also in other people’s various
problems. Everything seems to be intense, and you should
tread lightly, especially when involved in other’s emotions.
Everyone seems to be overreacting.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: It’s time to work
on improving at least one important relationship. You are
now learning to demonstrate your interest and affections.
It’s also time to face any problems, which may be hiding in
the closet, probably regarding a family member.

Lupillo Rivera
Lupillo Rivera es un
gran cantante mejor
conocido como “El Toro
Del Corrido” nació en La
barca Jalisco pero el y su
familia se mudarón a
California donde el vivió
la mayoria de su infancia.
Lupillo en 1990
termino la escuela en
Poly high school de Long
beach, y en vez de
ponerse a estudiar la
Universidad, Lupillo
decidió que seria mejor
ponerse a trabajar, asi
que empezó a trabajar
como
manager
y
buscador de talentos en
la compañia de su padre
Pedro Rivera llamada
Cintas Acuario en la cual
el descubrió el talento de
el cantante ya fallecido
“Chalino Sanchez” quie
grabo sus primeros discos de corridos en la
compaña Cintas Acuario.
En 1993 Lupillo
Rivera descubrió su
propio talento como
cantante y decidió
lanzarse como cantante
de corridos, desde alli
comenzó su gran carrera
como cantante de
corridos y a tenido
muchos exitos como la
cancion “Despreciado”
la cual lo ayudo a darse a
conocer en muchos paises

Colmo de un músico...
que la esposa se llame tecla
y que el vecino la toque.
Colmo
de
un
calvo...encontrar un pelo
en la sopa.
Colmo
de
un
matemático... que plante un
árbol y le salga la raíz
cuadrada.
Colmo de un abogado...
haber perdido la muela del
juicio
Colmo de un plomero...
que su novia lo mande por
un tubo.
No es lo mismo…
No es lo mismo que un
talibán tire dos torres
gemelas a que un tal Iván
Torres se tire a dos
gemelas.
No es lo mismo calzones a
bajo precio, que aprecio

No es lo mismo una
manguera vieja en la calle,
que una vieja vendiendo
mango en la calle.
No es lo mismo el SIDA

SIDA.

Grammy winner Banda El Recodo with Bobby
instrumentation—tubas,
Pulido appearing in Detroit
trombones, trumpets, clarinets
By Rico de La Prensa
This Saturday, the best of
banda and tejano will be appearing at Club International in
Detroit—Banda El Recodo and
Bobby Pulido.
La Banda El Recodo, which
is named after their town of origin, is not only one of México’s
most successful banda groups,
or brass bands, but, one of the
most prolific, recording over
180 records/releases, performing in a mixture of Latino dance
tunes, jazz swing, and classical
music.
Its full name is Banda
Sinaloense El Recodo de Don
Cruz Lizárraga.
Formed in 1938, La Banda
El Recodo was conceived by
Don Cruz Lizárraga (July 1,
1918—June 17, 1995), a selftaught clarinet player. Although
his formal education ended after his first year of junior high
school, Lizárraga was a master
as a musician and bandleader.
Teaching himself to play
clarinet, against the wishes of
his father, Lizárraga had to sell
one of his pigs to raise the down
payment for his first instrument.
In the early 1950s, Lizárraga
joined a banda de musica
Sinaloense, gradually becoming the group’s director. Shortly
after moving to Mazatlán,
Sinoloa, he accepted an invitation to sign with RCA Victor,
recording his first record in
1951.
Although he recorded his first
two tunes, Mi Adoración and
El Callejero with a quintet,
he soon formed La Banda El
Recodo with its distinctive
line-up of two clarinets, two
trumpets, two trombones, bass
drum, and snare drum.
After Lizárraga’s death in
1995, his clarinetist sons,
Germán and Alfonso, continued to tour. Five years later,
Banda El Recodo won a
Grammy for Best Banda Performance for Lo Mejor de Mi
Vida at the first Latin Grammy
Awards in 2000.
Its current director is Joel
Lizárraga, after Germán left
the group in 2002 to lead
Banda Estrellas de Sinaloa.
Joel is a grandson of Don Cruz.
His brother, Poncho, is also
part of the group.
In 2002, it recorded No Me
Sé Rajar, a Vicente Fernández
tribute that features modern
arrangements. In 2003, it was
nominated for a best Mexican/Mexican-American album Grammy, competing
against Sueños, by Intocable;
Libre, by Jennifer Peña; Lo
Dijo el Corazón, by Joan
Sebastian; and Jugo a la Vida
by Los Tucanes de Tijuana.
Sebastian won.
The first single from the
Fernández tribute, the
ranchera, No Me Sé Rajar,
reached No. 10 on Billboard’s
Hot Latin Tracks chart.
The 16-member El
Recodo has stuck to acoustic
La Herradura
Mexican food products, music, and SIGA.
932 Emerald Street
Toledo, Ohio
419-254-9530
and snare drums—even when
smallerelectrobandas became
a fad a decade ago.
The group has retained its
success. Its previous release,
Contigo por Siempre, produced one of its biggest hits, Y
Llegaste Tú, which in 2001
spent eight weeks at No. 1 on
Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Contigo
also won the banda-album
Latin Grammy that year.
•Bobby continues in the
Pulido tejano tradition
Bobby Pulido, who was
born as José Roberto Pulido,
Jr. and raised in Edinburg,
Texas, has a tremendous musical background. His father is
Tejano/conjunto legend,
Robert Pulido. His maternal
grandfather is Mario Montes,
accordionist for Los Doneños.
Pulido has won numerous
awards in the tejano and grupero
music industries including a
Latin Grammy nomination for
Best Tejano Performance, Best
Vocalist, Tejano Crossover,
Best Music Video, Best Album,
and Best Showmanship.
Pulido has six consecutive
singles in Billboard’s Latin
Top 40 charts and has released
eight CDs on the EMI Latin
record label.
His recent hits include:
Vanidosa, Soy Yo, and A Tu
Lado.

Hartsock sentenced to almost 11 years for 2
Hartsock fled the accident
hit-and-run deaths
Toledo: Billy R.
Hartsock was sentenced on
June 16th to nearly 11 years
in prison for the admitted
alcohol-related hit-and-run
accident that killed Ricardo
Ruiz, 41, and his uncle
Arnoldo Ramos, 51.
Hartsock, 29, was sentenced in Lucas County
Common Pleas Court by
Judge Robert Christiansen
to consecutive five-year
prison terms for aggravated
vehicular homicide and 11
months for failing to stop after
an accident, for a total sentence
of 10 years and 11 months.
“No one has the right to
drive drunk and harm someone else. This community is
tired of drunk drivers,” Judge
Christiansen said.
Ruiz and Ramos were crossing Broadway near Western
Avenue about 1:30 a.m. on
February 1, 2003, when
Hartsock struck them.
and attempted to ditch his
truck into the Maumee River
near International Park.
Ricardo Ruiz, 25, the son
of Ruiz, asked the judge to
impose maximum sentences
for the three convictions. He
said he and his brothers went
to the cemetery on Father’s
Day to pray at the graves of
their father and great uncle
and that it was a particularly
difficult time for them and
the Ruiz/Ramos families.
