Listening to the stories shared by the elders who grew up here and whose families are a part of the history of this area usually leads us to all sorts of other questions. Once of the questions most often asked is, "Where did the Mexicanos and Mexican Americans live?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the answer I was given by Dave Ruiz. His relatives owned and ironworks at the turn of the 20th Century, an uncle was in the U.S. Army in WWI, and he made mention of this certain chamaco who wore a zoot suit in Pasadena.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gracias to Dave and to all our Elders who lived through so much and who share their stories with us that we might share with others.</div>

In 2012 he developed pneumonia and as result passed out in his bathroom. He was severely injured in his fall and spent days in a coma. In his words he shares: "When I cam out of the coma, I was in an incubator I looked like a broken man, with no future. It was like a brake on my life. so I thought about the past a lot. For the first time I really reassessed my life. When yo come so close to death you tend to start examining things on a metaphysical level. And when I did that, I realized what a wonderful people and culture I belong to. And with Travis Smiley urging me, that's when I knew I had to write this book".</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
This year there will be 1,000 people in our Latino Heritage Parade. Being this large there is a need to raise funds for our volunteer run event. The City of Pasadena is helping us more and more, but there are still lots of permits and rentals to be paid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
We ask friends and acquaintances to help us by sending us money. Feels good for all when the money comes in - we know bills will be paid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
This year we will also be having a couple of fundraisers. The first will be this coming <b>Wednesday October 9th </b>and another on<b> Sunday, October 16th. </b></div>

I assure you it will be a tasteful meal. Tasteful as in asauce that you really must lick and lick and lick and meat that falls off the bone. If you want something other than ribs there are lots of choices. My favorite is "Ann-Marie's Chicken Addiction" - crunchy cashews, fresh sprouts, hand made chicken salad on whole grain bread. Then there are the desserts. Or the onion rings - you get the idea.</div>

Thanks to the work of District 5 Field Rep, Vannia de la Cuba and the great staff at Villa Parke, a Census Fiesta (is you will) took place encouraging all folks in the area to register in the 2010 Census. </div>

Latino Heritage was there with our Family Nopal activity. For little ones it was a chance to talk about their family members and maybe even get a little practice writing names.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were two young women, cousins I think, who started to color in the nopal. Before too long they were challenging each other to come up with as many family members' names as they possibly could. Each name mentioned was accompanied by a short story or mentioning a familial point of connection. </div>

I don't know about you, but I was impressed. And I think it was great for them to have written record, albeit pretty informal, to take home. Bet you there was a conversation with someone else about all these names - which is sort of the point.</div>

Nowadays there is a lot of talk of ancestry and genealogy on the net and on TV. Having a website like Ancestry.com, USGenWeb Project, Jewishgen, and Find A Grave to use as a reference helps to spur on this interest. "Who Do You Think You Are?" Is both a television show and a phrase that most of us have thought - where do I come from, who were the people who were my parents, my grandparents, my great-grandprents; the curiosity seems to get stronger as the years add on. The answers often become more and more vague. </div>

The Mejia family came to Pasadena at the turn of the 20th Century. They have flourished in business and are active in community service. They have a very large family. They use a family nopal - a family cactus - instead of a family tree. This is one way they keep track of who was here before and who was related to whom. </div>

The explanation I was given for this choice was that "the nopal<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> symbolizes the strength that our families have to flourish where 'planted'". </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">f it is strong and well tended, it will flourish even in harsh conditions. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A tree that's transplanted may have weakened roots and may not survive </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">in its new spot. </span></div>

There is another aspect to the transplanted nopal that's worth noting. Despite it being transplanted, it has something of the original cactus that informs future generations. At some level there is an essence of the original nopal about it.</div>

Years ago Liz Espinoza, an artist who lives in Altadena, designed an image that was transferred to papel picado work that she did. We have used this image so that students, big and small, might add the names of those in their family circle. We hope that his activity helps them learn a bit more about their family and will help them flourish wherever they are planted.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>It will be</b> thirty seven years August 29 after the Chicano Moratorium against the Viet Nam War was first held in East Los Angeles — at the time the largest anti-war demonstration in a community of color in the country. Some 30,000 people came from all over Los Angeles, the Southwest, and other parts of the country to proclaim, “Ya Basta”–that’s enough. It also became the scene of one of the worse police abuse cases in the country when LA County sheriff’s deputies attacked the mostly peaceful crowd at Laguna Park, enacting hundreds of arrests, causing hundreds of injuries, and resulting in at least three dead. One of those killed was Chicano reporter Ruben Salazar — the only national media voice Chicanos had at the time.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Diane Walker is also a recipient this year. For the past 8 years she has shared her creativity with us and the greater community. Over the years that creativity has resulted in ofrendas, historical fashion runways, a cardboard plane, book displays, exhibits, and so much more. The collaborative efforts have truly resulted in an event that took place at La Pintoresca Library and Park. </span></div>

Often people think that the small day to day moments, like a 4 month old seated on a chair, are of small consequence. Not so. When several people share these small moments that we can get a sense of what life was like in a community. A greater or a more detailed picture is shared.<br />
<br />
So let's celebrate Elena and her family - here in Pasadena in 1927. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On Tuesday we made a quick exchange - a lesson on local history for some time stuffing sponsorship envelopes for the event for the 15th Annual Latino Heritage Parade & jamaica. Adult volunteers Alex and Jose helped out, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many folks think that the event is primarily run by the city or that those of us involved are paid. Neither of those facts is true. Yes, we'd love to have Sponsorship like the Black History Parade, but we're receiving support at the Co-sponsorship level. So we have a real need for getting financial support from members of our community.</div>
