UCLA and became an attorney in 1956. The family moved to San Bernardino in 1961, and Garza has since practiced law in the area. However, in 1988, Garza temporarily joined a Los Angeles law firm, however, after a relatively short period returned to the San Bernardino area.

During a 42 year legal career, Garza has gained recognition as one^f the most outstanding legal minds at the international and national level. A major case was his involvement in the late Howard Hughes case, among other famous cases.

Garza was invited to Spain to participate in a judicial panel, discussing the merits of the jury processes with representatives of other countries. He was also a member of the U.S. delegation to assist the Romanian government in the re­structuring of that country's legal system.

Garza has received the John Surr Award, a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers, listed in the book "The Best Law­yers in America", UCLA School of Law "Alumni of the Year" and National Institute for Trial Advocacy, among other presti­gious international and national awards.

"Education is precious. I can relate to the students of the community colleges. I've worked all my life, in the cottonfields of Texas, as amechanic, aconstruction worker, teacher and lawyer," he said. "I want to instill motivation and inspiration in young students and to bring them together."

Garza and his wife of 47 years, Regina, live in San Bernardino.

2 Commentary Inland Empire Hispanic News Wednesday, May 13,1998

What Is Bilingual Education? The following article on bilingual edu­cation was authored by Mario Torres, a product of the bilingual education programs in Imperial County. Torres is a bilingual teacher at Bonnie Oehl Elementary School, San Bernardino School District and President of the California Association of Bilingual Educators - San Bernardino Chapter.

What is Bilingual Education? Who determines how children should be in­structed? Why is primary language and culture so important? These are a few of the many questions being asked by the voters, or are they? For more than twenty years the public has been inun­dated by the political rhetoric and the use of bilingual education as a wedge issue by politicians for their gain. You would think that concerned educators and legislators of the 40's, 50's and 60's could have developed and implemented an educational system to meet the needs of children entering school with a pri­mary language other than English. It took a court decision brought about by

a Chinese immigrant and the Chacon-Mascone Bilingual Bicultural Act of 1967 to finally require districts to pro­vide primary language instmction for children until they learned sufficient English. Since that time it has been non-stop bashing towards the bilingual program. The English Only crusaders have been relentless with their distor­tion of the facts and the promoting that all who oppose them are un-American.

The current Unz Initiative 227 is a new dangerous precedence, education methodology by initiative. A one size fits all and the sink or swim method for the Limited English Proficient children of California. No other professional organization would tolerate being dic­tated by initiative on how to practice their profession.

The confusion is brought about by those who know little about the pro­gram and their failure to see the key aspects of education; comprehension, equal opportunity and access to the core' curriculum. For transition into the En­glish Language is not based by grade but by proficiency of their English. With this initiative you are throwing the baby out with the bath water. Critics have argued that the state has a poor history of establishing standards for Limited English students.

Opponents to bilingual education want students to leam English as fast as possible, while proponents are con­cerned with the learning aspect so they don't fall behind in other subject areas and affecting their future education. Let's face it you can't expect a child to lean the basic subjects in a language they don't understand.

The statistics have shown that out of the 1.4 million Limited English Profi­cient students only 30% are in Bilin­gual Programs. That is three out of

every ten students. Now how can you call the program a failure when 70% of the Limited English Proficient students are not provided with such services. If staffing of bilingual classroom is an issue, then let's look at our Legislators and the State Department of Education and analyze their past efforts to remedy the situation.

True Bilingual Education is provided with certificated teachers giving the instruction, school districts supporting and monitoring the progress of all stu­dents, data from the test scores of the 30% are compared and analyzed for evaluation. Eortunate is the student that is educated within such a progressive educational system. These students are instructed in their primary language from their Kinder grade to the Fourth Grade as the optimum level for transi­tion into English. In the early years of schooling both languages carry the same value, Spanish as a means of compre­hension and English proficiency is de­veloped for access to the core curricu­lum. Between those years students are continually assessed for their level of comprehension and their- growth of English language proficiency. Read­ing, Math, Science and Social Studies are gradually taught more and more in English.

Now this current initiative titled English for the Children also known as 227 is a d&vious name to use for a group run by a very wealthy and ambitious political conservative. Who among us is naive enough to deny children in America the opportunity to leam En­glish? The issue is, how in the educa­tional process do you reach English proficiency? Americans with powerful

ambitions delight in bashing the educa­tional system for their own gain. Our history repeats with Ron Unz's com­ment, "It isn't the duty of the public schools to help children maintain their native culture." (Sun. "Bilingual edu­cation battles brewing," July 27,1997). Look at textbooks from the past and see what instmctional processes were used to value, encourage and support the native cultures of black. Latino and American Indian student populations. The stmggle to improve bilingual edu­cation has not been easy. The support has been less than desirable from board members to politicians. At times, I would question their motives. Bilin­gual educators have always valued the English language. We just differ on the process of instmction with the political conservatives and those who know little about the program.

America must come to terms with its dependency and treatment of the labor worker to which it still suffers from a major case of denial. It seeks Latino men and women to pick and pack the fraits and vegetables of Califomia, but please don't bring your children for they are to expensive to educate them. Now these same individuals are so cour cemed over the education of immigrant children. Today bilingual education is facing the same attacks by those in­fected by the vims called Manifest Des­tiny which infects the American way of thinking. American education should be more progressive if we are to solve many of our social and racial problems. What is the fear of having Bi-Literacy in America?

Sinfonia Mexicana 3 Inland Empire Hispanic News Wednesday, May 13,1998

Sinfonia Mexicana to Present Two Concerts SINFONIA MEXICANA SOCIETY CONCERTS California Theatre of Performing Arts

The Sinfonia Mexicana Society, a program under the umbrella of the San Bernardino Symphony, is present­ing two concerts in 1998 featuring world renown performers. The first concert is "Fiesta de Varledad" at 7:30 P.M., Saturday, June 6, at the California Theatre of Performing Arts in San Bernardino. Featured are Lalo Guerrero, the Father of Chicano Music, Mariachi Reyna de Los Ange­les, the first all-female mariachi group formed in the United States, La Rondalia del Valle from the University of Baja California, and Sinfonia Mexicana's Mariachi Youth Group. Ticket prices for June are $15, $25, $30, and $35.

LALO GUERRERO is internation­ally regarded as the "Father of Chicano Music". The legendary Mexican-American singer and composer has enjoyed a career of more than six decades, beginning with the classic Cancion Mexicana composed while still in his teens in his native and beloved Tucson, Arizona.

At the height of his recording years in the 1950s and 1960s, his music dominated the Latin American charts in the US, Mexico and South America with as many as three hits in the top ten at the same time. Lalo's "corridos" have told of the triumphs and stmggles of Mexican-American heroes like Cesar Chavez and Ruben Salazar and brought their stories to a wide audience.

He has become the musical his­torian of a unique culture, a culture with roots in two worlds. Fellow Tucsonense Linda Ronstadt puts it best.

"Lalo is the first great Chicano musical artist and the historian and social con­science of that community."

MARIACHI REYNA DE LOS ANGELES, created by Jose Hernandez, is the first all-female mariachi group in the United States. Mariachi Reyna is a combination of young, versatile and talented women of many different back­grounds, from high school students to university graduates.

Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles portray all the best of Mexican woman­hood—talent, intelligence, poise and beauty.

RONDALLA DEL VALLE was organized in 1970 as the first groiip of its kind in Baja California. It is com­posed of students between 15 and 18 years of age who, at the end of their studies, leave the group to allow for new members. It is a nonprofessional group that independently organizes and produces its own music . It has become one of the best groups in Mexico since it was in­corporated into the Autonomous Uni­versity of Baja California in 1974. It is a five time first-place winner in the National Contest of Rondallas.

The SINFONIA MEXICANA'S MARIACHI YOUTH GROUP in­structional program began in May 1997 with fourth through twelfth grade stu­dents from the Colton, Rialto and San Bernardino School Districts. Instruc­tion is provided by highly specialized professionals.

Tickets may be purchased at the San Bernardino Symphony office, 362 W. Court Street (between "D" Street and Arrowhead), San Bernardino, or call (909)381-5388.

The Rondalia Del Valle, from the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, is considered one of the best groups in Mexico, will be performing at the Caiifornia Theater, San Bernardino, on June 6

Lalo Guerrero, the "Father of Chicano Music" will perform at the California Theater, San Bernardino.

Memorial Day -From p.1 power, the platoon was evacuated with Cavaiani directing and simultaneously re­turning heavy fire power, completely ex­posing himself without regard for his safety. He was wounded several times during this heavy exchange of fire power. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic action.

Among other awards he has received are the Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and Army Commendation Medal.

Master of Ceremonies is Dee Anderson, Family Service Supervisor, Father Dennis Flynn will give the invocation and Captain Ray Quinto, Retired, U.S. Navy Medical Service, has been invited to give the flag salute. The Martin Luther King Band will be playing during the ceremonies.

For further information, call Anthony Bocanegra at (909) 882-2943.

Mother Of The Year inland Empire Hispanic News Wednesday, May 13,1998

Mrs. Eusebia Buriel is Hispanic News Mother of the Year Mrs. Eusebia Buriel is a very busy

person. President of the Guadalupanas and Third Order of Saint Francis of Assisi, coordinator of many commu­nity and church activities. Active in her church, attending 8:30 Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine in River­side for more than many senior citizens can actually remember. A Eucharistic Minister since 1971, she devotedly visits the sick and invalid to give Communion after Sunday Mass.

There are many Eastside Riverside residents that strongly feel that she is about the busiest person around.

Okay. So what's the big deal! The big deal is that this busy little

lady is 90 years young, drives her own car (gets frustrated about the DMV s orders for an annual driver's test), knows every one and if there is work to be done or someone needs help, she is there!

"My mother is one busy lady," says son. Dr. Ray Buriel, Professor of Psy­chology and Chicano Studies at Pomona College. "She and her sisters, Sara Lopez (whose son. Father Gerald Lopez is a priest at Barstow) and Jennie Vasquez, have been very active for many years. I really hope that I have inherited those longevity genes, because that means T11 be around for a long time."

Bom in 1908 in El Paso, Texas, in theChamisal area, Mrs. Buriel's fam­ily moved around and finally settled in Silvis, Illinois. The family later moved to Riverside in early 1910s.

Mrs. Buriel is greeted by every­one. Many people always ask for her advice and she is a leader in organizing functions in our com­munity.

Sister Esperanza Davila

and included in the book, "From Out Of the Shadows".

Susanna Hernandez, community ac­tivist, stated that Mrs. Buriel was recog­nized as a neighborhood leader and was a role model for young men and women in the Eastside of Riverside.

The Buriel's had two sons, Ray and older brother Joseph, a Duke Univer­sity graduate and professor of botany at the University of Maryland.

Aside from other week activities, Mrs. Buriel is consistently seen before Sunday Mass at 8:30, greeting parishio­ners, people asking for advice or just conversing with her.

Mrs. Buriel's father and mother were pillars of the community and she and her sisters have carried the family tradition of service to God and community.

Ortencia Ibarra, Church Administrator

Mrs. Buriel is very amiable and continually helps all the commu­nity and our Church. All of us adore her.

Mrs. Loya-Cano, Parishioner

On March 27, LaNet of Riverside recognized Mrs. Buriel and 15 women for their community leadership at a lun­cheon at the Zacatecas Restaurant.

In 1996, Mrs. Buriel was interviewed by Vickie Ruiz as part of the history of Mexican women in the 20th century

The Inland Empire Hispanic News is proud to recognize Mrs. Eusebia Buriel as Mother Of The Year; con­gratulates her for the many years of dedicated church and community ser­vice and for the unselfish care to the sick and invalid; and being a role model to the many residents of the Eastside of Riverside, especially the younger generation.
