March 7,1990 Volume 3, Number 5

Sran Homenaje al Musico - Poeta Agusti n Lara SAN BERNARDINO, CA - The Fifth Annual Sinfonia Mexicana conceit will take place at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 31,1990 at the California The­atre in San Bernardino. This year's performance will pay homage to the artistry of Mexico's most beloved composer, Agustin Lara, and will fea­ture two world-premiere arrangements of his woiics. Agustin Lara's Suite. based on Lara's most popular themes,by Mateo Oliva and Noche Tibia y Cal-lada (Night waim and still) by Mario Kuri-Aldana were both commissioned exclusively fortius performance. Other works include Lara's Mi Novia (My sweetheart). Three Mexican Waltzes arranged for orchestra by Manuel Enri-quez, Granada by Lara, Noche de Ror^ by Lara, and Inteimezzo by Manuel M. Ponce. The Inland Empire Symphony Orches­tra will be led by Jose Guadalupe Flores, the music director of the Xalapa, Ver-acmz Symphony Orchestra. Featured guest artist will be baritone Refugio Gomez. Agustin Lara composed more than

650 songs of love and is popularly referred to as "the Irving Berlin of Mexico." His most popular works known to Americans are You Belong to My Heart and Granada, recorded by Bing Crosby and Mario Lanza. Lara was a piano prodigy in Veracruz and left home at the age of 16 to cam­paign with Pancho Villa. Later he played professional baseball, and even killed a fe^AuUS'but found piano playing was inmm ' iiiitely "more comfortable." His first

Refugio "Ernie" Gomez ...featured guest baritone

piano jobs were in honky-tonks and bordellos where secrets told him by "ladies of the night" were composed into romantic songs. One night, as he performed one of his new songs, a brawl broke out and a Jealous woman gashed his left cheek. Based on this experience, he wrote Woman. (You have the look the passion that fasci­nates), a smash hit that brought him from the brothels to the best bistros of Mexico and South America. Since that time, the popularity of Lara has never been seriously threatened by any Mexican composer. According to Eliud Martinez, Profes­

sor at University of California at River­side and featured speaker at Sinfonia Mexicana's Concert-Preview Dinneri Agustin Lara's music is "distinctly Mexican, popular, romantic, sentimen­tal, and poetic. Lara was a cosmopoli­tan composer whose music reaches the hearts of the masses." A man who revered women, Lara

became a kind of musical version of Rudolph Valentino and was mobbed by women wherever he went. Lara acknowledged that women inspired his songs and that "Woman is the reason for my existence." When Agustin Lara died in 1970, he

was rendered homage at the Palace of Fine Arts. Because he brought honor to Mexico, his body was laid to rest in the Hall of Illustrious Men in Mexico City. Sinfonia Mexicana, which operates

under the auspices of the Inland Em­pire Symphony, is being coordinated by a committee from the area's His­panic community. Dr. Ernest Garcia, Dean of Education at California State University at San Bernardino, is chair­man. Dr. Garcia describes Sinfonia Mexicana as "an international cultural exchange program involving the His­panic community of the Inland Empire, the Mexican government, the Qty of San Bernardino, and the Inland Empire Symphony Association. For the past five years, Sinfonia Mexicana has successfully sponsored performances consisting entirely of Mexican classi­cal music featuring some of Mexico's most noted conductors and guest art­ists." A Concert Preview Dinner will take

place at 5:30 p.m. at Siquio's Restau­rant in Colton. Special guests will in­clude the composers, Mateo Oliva and Mario Kuri-Aldana, Lara's widow

Agustin Lara...the Irving Berlin of the Americas Yolanda Santa Cruz, Maestro Jose Guadalupe Flores, and the Consul General of Mexico. Seating is limited and prior reservations are required. Following the 8:15 p.m. concert, a Benefactor's reception will take place.

Tickets for "Sinfonia Mexicana' are priced at $25, $20, $ 15, and $10. Group discounts are available. Please call (714) 381-5388 to order, or visit the Inland Empire Symphony box office at 362 West Court Street in San Bernardino.

DREAMS ANn HARD WORK

The Acosta's Success story

Manuel Acosta Manuel and Maria Angelica Acosta

are the proud owners of Downtown Auto Center, a body and fender shop located at 460 West 9th Street, San Bernardino. The shop is very large with numerous open-air stalls and woricmen are observed to be very busy perform­ing a variety of repairs on cars. From the onset, the car repair business seem to be very good. The situation was not always that good for Mr. Acosta in 1961 when he first arrived in Los Angeles from Jimenez, Chihuahua, Mexico. New in a strange country, unaware of the American way of life and unable to speak English, he was forced to work as a common la-

oorer at minimum wages in order to exist. "My ambition was to work and the only kind of work was in the fields," he said. After a period of time he de­cided to seek a better future for himself as he became aware of the tremendous opportunities that were available to any person that was ambitious. In 1962, he got a job in a body repair

shop, starting at the very bottom, per­forming odd jobs. "I learned very quickly to do repairs on cars and tried to learn everything about the auto repair trade," he said with a proud smile. He enrolled in night school, taking English and other courses. "I realized that English was very important in order to communicate and to date, I'm not doing so bad with my English." In 1963, Mrs. Acosta and he were married. Mr. Acosta's foreman was moving to

San Bernardino in 1967 to work at the Zulch Auto Works, (now the Big Z Auto Shop) and offered him a job. He accepted the offer and moved his fam­ily to the Inland Empire. In the next four years, he acquired a good knowl­edge of the auto body repair trade. In 1971, he accepted the position of body shop manager for the Inland Center Dodge. In 1973, Mr. Acosta had an opportu­

nity to buy the present location. "1 sold

my station wagon and with one thou­sand dollars I put that money into the business that I had been working for all these many years. This was the oppor­tunity I had been waiting for all this time. In the next year my wife, an employee and myself worked six days a week, 14 to 16 hours a day. In the following year, I had three employees. Now, I have 10 employees. 1 feel that the success of the business is due to the hard work and high quality of perform­ance that we give our customers. We work hard to insure that our customers are satisfied when we finish a job." In speaking of hard work, Mr. Acosta

said that another factor in the success of the business is the contribution his wife has made, "My wife started in the busi­ness with me. We shared the hardships of planning and starting a business. She has supported me all the way and has helped with the paperwork and account­ing. I really appreciate the help she has given me all these years." The success of the business has not

deterred Mr. Acosta from being in­volved in the community. He was a co-founder and current president of Club Puma, a business organization whose members were not native-bom, but have been successful in their business en­deavors. The organization gives schol­arships to young Hispanics. "Although I was not able to get a formal education, I firmly believe that everyone should have one." He has been a member of the Redevelopment Citizens Advisory Committee for two years. Recently, he

was elected treasurer of the Inland Empire Hispanic Roundtable, a con-sortiirm of 33 Hispanic organizations. "I will continue to be involved and support my community as much as possible," he said. Mr. and Mrs. Acosta have been mar­

ried for 27 years. They have four daugh­ters, Maria Angelica, Zythlaly (named after Montezuma's daughter), Lucia, Rosalinda and a son Manuel, Jr., who is graduating in June from Cal-State, San Bemardino with a major in economics. Mrs. Acosta commented, "I am

proud of my children because they have been very good and 1 am especially proud of my husband, who has worked very hard and has been very good to the family." Mr. Acosta golfs as much as possible for relaxation. He says, however, that for the future, he will only be semi-retired. This land of opportunity has been a

reality for the Acostas!

COMMUNITY SERVICE Inland Empire Hispanic News Wednesday, March 7,1990

THE GENTS ORGANIZATION - A local barrio success story by Ray Navarro iix:;:;:

The Gents organization is a commu­nity-based service group of former gang members with deep roots in the San Bernardino area. Since their beginning in 1952, the Gents have grown from a gang of (12) adolescents to a commu­nity oriented service organization of (72) adult leaders.

^rLike many organizations, they have had their ups and downs. During their 28 years, the Gents were considered a gang (1952-1963), went their separate ways (1963-1972), reunited in 1973, became a chartered non-profit commu­nity service organization in 1975 and have been very active in helping the community to this day.

THE REUNION It was 1973, several members of the

Gents who had remained in the San Bemardino area organized a formal dinner and dance program to reunite and recognize two individuals for their work in helping several Gents mem­bers. Honored that evening were ALAN SELZNICK, an attomey, and TONY E. CAMPOS, a city councilman of San Bernardino at that time. MR. SELZNICK had assisted several members with legal aid matters and eventually was influential in obtaining a state charter and non-profit status. MR. CAMPOS was a childhood friend of the Gents. The event attracted 44 former Gents members and served as the catalyst to re-organize. After the reunion, unspent funds were donated to Pacific High School to es­tablish a scholarship fund. At the pres­ent time the scholarship program in­cludes two high schools and total fiind contributions have exceeded $51,000.

with first president, PETE RAMOS, were well on their way to becoming one of the most influential community-oriented service groups in California. Some of the community activities they became involved included the All-American Parades;September 16 Mexico's Independence Day parades; assisting high schools groups; assisting youth football, baseball, soccer, box­ing; participation in beauty pageants; co-sponsoring a float with the City of San Bemardino; and fimdraising for scholarships, resident assistance and various community projects. Through their efforts in fundraising

activities such as golf toumaments, menudo cook-offs and holiday dances, the Gents have become well known in the Latino community and throughout

Yesterday's Gents

the Inland Empire. The community is aware that the social activities and fundraisers organized by the Gents will always provide benefits to the commu­nity both on an individual and group basis. For example, they donated $4,200 to an individual to help pay for a heart transplant operation with proceeds raised at a Victorville boxing program; donated funds to help pay the cost of funeral expenses for a family who lost a loved one. In the month of January

1990 alone, the Gents have given $900 back to the community to assist indi­viduals and groups. According to members, approximately $75,000 has been donated to individuals in need, non-profit organizations and to com­munity projects since the Gents organ­ized in 1975. Currently, the Gents are working on

their largest community project to date: raising funds for a community build-

ing. This building would be available toorganizations and families, and would serve as the home for future Gents activities. With a building fund of approximately $16,000, the group sees the next several years as a major chal­lenge. Costs to run a fundraising pro­gram are rising and locations are lim­ited. However, new ideas from more members have given original members like PETE RAMOS, MANNY DE LA TORRE, LEONARD MINI ARES and FRANK RODRIGUEZ optimistic feel­ings that there will be a gents building very soon.

GENTS, P.O. BOX 1131, COLTON, OA 92324. DEDICATION AND RECOGNI­TION Since 1975, the Gents have had strong leadership from the following elected presidents: PETE RAMOS, ANDREW CALDERON, JOEL LOPEZ, FRED PRECIADO and currently by FRANK RODRIGUEZ. Membership is up to 72, with an age range from the mid-20's to over 50. Dedication to the Gents is expressed by members who live out of town and travel from El Monte, Hesperia and even Watsonville to at­tend meeting held on the 1st Friday of the month at the VF W on 8th/0range in Colton. The Gents enjoy support from a wide

range of community activists and ce­lebrities. Some of the celebrities who have supported the Gents have included TOMMY MASON, CATHY RIGBY, EDWARD JAMES OLMOS, RICH­ARD YNIGUEZ, FRANK CORRAL, MARION POi llOS (Redskins) and STEVE YEAGER. In 1986, CBS Channel 2 "2 On The Town" program recognized the Gents as "Home Town Heroes." The Gents have been approached by

many political candidates for endorse­ment. However, they have yet to en­dorse a candidate. Since many of the members are involved in community issues and problem solving, political support is always available on an indi­vidual basis. Many Gents get involved
