Tejano musicians, scholars to visit UHV for de León Symposium

KQQK was Houston’s lead-ing Spanish-language radio sta-tion during the 1990s. The station played strictly Tejano music, a par-ticular form of music developed by Texans of Mexican descent in the early 20th century.

“Tejano Music: A Texas Histo-ry” is the theme of the 28th annual Martin de León Symposium on the Humanities at the University of Houston-Victoria. This year’s event will feature two musicians and two music scholars. The free public event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 13 in the UHV University Center Multi-Purpose Room, 3007 N. Ben Wil-son St.

The closing speaker of the event, Guadalupe San Miguel, wrote a paper in 2008 about why KQQK quit playing Tejano music in 1999 and then tried to return to the format soon thereafter.

San Miguel, an associate pro-fessor of history at UH, said for more than a century and a half, Te-janos experienced a daily barrage of institutional and personal as-saults regarding their cultural heri-tage, language and traditions. San Miguel is the author of five books, including “Tejano Proud: Tex Mex Music in the 20th Century.”

“Anglo American institutions and officials, for instance, con-sistently repressed, distorted, dis-missed or ignored the rich cultural heritage of the Mexican origin population born and raised in Tex-as,” San Miguel wrote in his paper. “KQQK contested these historical policies and practices by publicly recognizing the cultural heritage and musical tastes of Tejanos on the radio. For Tejanos then, KQQK was culture; it reflected, legitimized and affirmed the rich cultural and musical heritage that

had developed under oppressive socio-economic and political con-ditions.”

The vibrant history of Tejano music and its cultural influences were among the reasons the topic was chosen for this year’s sympo-sium, said Beverly Tomek, a UHV assistant professor of history and chair of the 2014 Symposium Ad-visory Committee.

“Music is power in a lot of ways,” she said. “Whether it’s Te-jano music or hip-hop, music helps people tell their stories by recount-ing the struggles and the push for social justice.”

The event is presented by the UHV School of Arts & Sciences and the de León Club of Victo-ria. Named after Victoria founder Martin de León, the de León Club is a nonprofit organization dedi-cated to promoting business and

Former Miss Texas Serves as State Guardsman

Former Miss Texas USA, Lauren Guzman, also serves as a ser-geant in the Texas State Guard.

Guzman was crowned Miss Texas USA 2014 on Sept. 1, 2013, representing the Lone Star State and served the citizens of Texas as both Sgt. Guzman and as Miss Texas this past year.

“In the community, being a role model with high standards is ex-pected when being in and out of uniform,” Guzman said, speaking on how the TXSG contributed to her success in the pageants. “The TXSG taught me to be on time for events, meet-ings, and how to network, but it also takes a lot of discipline, commitment and self-motivation when there is no monetary com-pensation involved.”

Guzman is currently assigned to the 1st Regi-ment, TXSG, in the op-erations section in San Antonio and served with the regiment’s Quick Re-action Team.

“We’ve given her the latitude to attend required Miss Texas USA functions without penalty or adverse perception for not being able to attend scheduled Unit Training Assemblies,” stated State Guard Col. Vin-cent Carag, 1st Regiment Commander. “We, the Soldiers of the 1st Regiment, stand behind her efforts 100 percent.” Guzman agreed, stating the troops and command, her “extended second family,” has been very supportive.

Guzman joined the TXSG in 2007 and holds a bachelor’s degree in forensic science from St. Mary’s University, which she earned while serving in the guard.

Now that her reign as Miss Texas USA has ended, she is con-sidering several career options to include looking to attend Officer Candidate School.

“She was a soldier before she became Miss Texas USA and I could tell she was a ‘squared away soldier’ when I first came on board,” said 1st Regiment, Command Sgt. Maj., Mario Zuniga, giv-ing accolades to Guzman.

“As a leader, she is a coach and mentor and is not afraid to get dirty or ask questions,” he said, “and when she won Miss Texas USA, both the colonel and I thought she’d be a great spokesperson

Walls cannot contain children’s museum The future of the Children’s Dis-

covery Museum looks bright. A new building has been purchased, the Capital Campaign is in full swing, and the exhibit designers are hard at work. There is no doubt that the vision for the new space is so big it transcends any physical boundaries one might place on it.

Yet, a reinvented space takes time, money, effort, and a whole lot of worker bees. And while the new space is being prepared, the Children’s Discovery Museum will operate as a “Museum with-out walls.”

Starting in September the Chil-dren’s Discovery Museum of the Golden Crescent will travel to festivals, schools, community centers, homes, and businesses to offer hands-on, interactive, educa-tional programs to the children of the Golden Crescent.

The programs will range from early childhood music and move-ment programs such as “Musik-garten” to elementary school offerings like “Engineering is El-ementary” and “Lego WeDo Ro-botics.”

Because the Children Discov-ery Museum’s “ Museum without walls” has no limits, these out-reach programs will be offered in a variety of ways, from in-school field trips, to themed birthday par-ties that entertain and educate at a location of your choice, to corpo-rate events that provide stimula-tion for the whole family.

If it is fun, interactive learning you desire, the museum plans to bring it to you.

Executive director Melissa Dix-on said, “Existing as a museum without walls during this time of transition gives us a unique op-portunity to reach out to all of the counties we serve while provid-ing experiential, educational pro-grams for children and families.” She hopes that we can reach every school in the Golden Crescent.

For the tiny tots (ages birth to 5 years old), instructors will visit preschools, homes, and businesses to provide Music In Motion, a pro-gram designed to stimulate physi-cal, cognitive, and social develop-ment in children while engaging them in musical play.

The museum will be available to book music birthday parties, play dates, and preschool visits

throughout the year. “Museum without Walls” visitors ages birth to 3 years old can also sign up for a semester of mommy and me mu-sic classes to be held Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. at Pidder Patter, begin-ning on September 4. Pricing for Music In Motion varies depending on the type of service offered.

For Elementary School students (grades Kinder through 5th), the museum will offer two STEM-focused programs: Engineering is Elementary (designed to enhance the Kindergarten through 2nd grade curricula) and Lego WeDo Robotics (designed to enhance 2nd through 5th grade curricula). Engineering is Elementary is a research based, teacher-tested pro-gram which integrates engineering with the science already taught in the schools to provide hands-on learning for children. The muse-um will offer weekly after-school

classes for $50/month or one-time in-school visits for $5/student.

The Lego WeDo Robotics pro-gram gives children the opportu-nity to create computer programs that interact with machines that they build out of Legos. The chil-dren “play” with their robots while a museum representative provides a lesson in literacy, math, science, or social studies (schools can choose their focus).

The first 1,000 children to par-ticipate in the in-school program are free, thanks to a grant from KinderMorgan. Children Discov-ery Museum’s education coordina-tor Tanya Wilkinson urges schools to call the museum to sign up for a 2-hour in-school workshop this fall. “The Lego WeDo Robotics program provides kids with hands-on stimulation that fully engages them in learning and fits directly into curriculum areas for their lev-el,” Wilkinson said.

Once 1,000 children have been reached, one-time in-school visits will cost $5/child. Weekly after-school programs are available as well.

For more information on birth-day parties, play dates, classes at Pidder Patter, school visits, and community events, you may check the museum’s website at www.cd-mgoldencrescent.com or call 361-485-9140. You can also find the Children’s Discovery Museum on Facebook to stay up-to-date on the museum’s schedule.

Walker family donates $250,000 to name UHV’s auditorium The Kay and Ron Walker Audi-

torium will be home to the Univer-sity of Houston-Victoria/Ameri-can Book Review Reading Series and a variety of other events when the university’s new academic building opens in 2015.

The Walkers donated $250,000 to UHV on Monday to name the auditorium inside the UHV Aca-

demic & Regional Economic De-velopment Building scheduled to open in the spring. The gift is the third largest donation from indi-viduals in school history.

“We feel strongly about the pres-ence of the University of Houston-Victoria and what it represents in our community,” Kay said. “We are big supporters of higher educa-

tion and realize what a vibrant uni-versity means to the future of Vic-toria and the surrounding areas.”

Kay served on the UH System Board of Regents from 1993 to 1999 as vice chair, secretary and member of the executive commit-tee. She played an integral role in helping UHV acquire tuition revenue bonds for the purchase of land and a new building. Since that time, Kay has remained ac-tive with UHV, serving on vari-ous search and art committees. She is a member emeritus on the UHV President’s Regional Advi-sory Board. The Kay Kerr Walker Scholarship is awarded annually to an area UHV student.

Ron, a partner at Walker Keel-ing law firm, has served on the Victoria College Board of Trust-ees since 1985 and has been board president since 2008.

“We feel making this gift is one of the most meaningful things we can do,” Ron said. “We have been given a lot of opportunities and fully realize the importance higher education and economic develop-ment plays in Victoria now and for years to come.”

UHV Interim President Vic Morgan thanked the Walkers for their gift.

“The Walker family has been a tremendous friend to higher edu-cation in Victoria for decades,” he said. “This latest contribution is another example of their generos-ity and their aspiration to see stu-

dents get a first-rate education. We can’t thank them enough for all they have done for UHV through the years.”

Construction on the three-story, approximately 63,000-square-foot Academic & Regional Economic Development Building is about a third complete. The $12.7 million building sits just northeast of the UHV University Center, 3007 N. Ben Wilson St. The facility will house the School of Business Ad-ministration, Career Services, an office for the Small Business De-velopment Center director, and the new Regional Center for Econom-

ic Development. A longtime supporter of eco-

nomic development and former president of the Victoria Economic Development Corp., Ron said one outcome of the building’s opening will be further cooperation among Crossroads counties.

“Victoria has many regional partners,” he said. “The programs in this facility will play a part in those continued partnerships. The building itself is important be-cause it will enhance UHV’s aca-demic courses and events. But I also really like the fact that it will

Prepare now for the night is comingby John Turner

Encourage police and commu-nity partnership, promote involve-ment in crime prevention efforts, build camaraderie within your neighborhood and let criminals know that you’re taking a stand against crime.

In 1984 National Night Out was created to do just that. Introduced as “America’s Night Out against Crime”, citizens were asked to show their support by turning on their porch lights and participating in a symbolic front porch watch. The inaugural event attracted 2.5 million people in 400 communities across 23 states.

Fast forward to today and Na-tional Night out has turned into a nationwide celebration involving events that include block parties, barbeques, parades, visits from first responders, youth events and safety demonstrations, all done to promote police /community rela-tions and the reduction of crime in the community.

National Night Out is now rec-ognized by almost 40 million peo-ple in over 16 thousand communi-ties throughout all 50 states, U.S. Territories, Canadian Cities and Military bases around the world.

Although National Night Out for the rest of the world is rec-ognized on the first Tuesday in August, Texas has its own date which is looming on the horizon. The first Tuesday in October, this year October 7th, is recognized as Texas’s National Night Out.

The Victoria Police Department Crime Prevention Unit is asking residents to participate in this great community wide event. Last year we had 44 registered parties within Victoria, this year we hope to have more. You can do as much or as little as you choose. Some parties are huge, with streets blocked off and entire neighborhoods joining in the action while others are small and subdued, much like the origi-nal front porch watch.

The Victoria Police Department Crime Prevention Unit will actu-ally begin the festivities a week early with the kickoff party at the Victoria Mall. First responders, military and local community or-ganizations will all be represented with displays and informational

booths while local youth provide entertainment. This year the kick-off party is on Saturday Sept 27 between noon and three and prom-ises to be quite an event.

Take a stand against crime, light up the night and make this year’s National Night Out better than any before.

If nothing else, it’s an excuse to have a party.

If you want to register your party (to have first responders pay you a visit) or would simply like more information on National Night Out or the kickoff party give the VPD Crime Prevention Unit a call at 485-3808.

John Turner is an officer with the Victoria Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit. He may be contacted at (361)485-3808.

woman and child, yet one in six people, including more than one in five children, face hunger. In the Golden Crescent area, there are nearly 50,000 people living in food insecurity. Food insecurity is defined as living within danger of going without food. Most come from ‘working poor’ families, where one or more people in the family have a job, but aren’t able to make ends meet. Children and the elderly suffer most, as they are vulnerable and unable to bring in extra income. These are our neigh-bors, our friends, and our family. We must shed light on this ‘silent epidemic’ and come together to stop hunger in our hometowns!

ABOUT THE FOOD BANKThe Food Bank of the Golden

Crescent was founded in 1986 by Amelia Funari, a local youth lead-er and activist against child abuse. She noted the connection between child abuse and neglect and food insecurity and approached H-E-B Grocery Company about dona-tions. H-E-B and America’s Sec-ond Harvest (now Feeding Amer-ica) agreed to provide support and the Food Bank was established on May 16th, 1986. The Food Bank distributed just over 6,000 pounds in its first year. Today, the Food Bank distributes more than 3 mil-lion pounds of food to those in need, serving more than 22,000 clients every month through its 85+ member agencies. As a member of the Feeding America network, the Food Bank also sup-ports programs that improve food security among the people we serve; educates the public about the problem of hunger; and ad-vocates for legislation that pro-tects people from going hungry. Individuals, charities, businesses and government all have a role in ending hunger. For more informa-tion, visit www.tfbgc.org or www.feedingamerica.org, or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/FoodbankoftheGC or www.face-book.com/FeedingAmerica.

encouraging civic participation to improve the quality of life in Vic-toria.

The symposium is usually held in the spring, but the committee decided to move this year’s event to the fall.

“Having the event in September allows us to tie in with other His-panic Heritage Month events hap-pening around campus,” Tomek said. “We felt it was a good fit for the symposium, and we hope it enhances the other celebrations of Hispanic heritage at UHV.”

A light breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m., and the program will begin at 9 a.m. with a presentation by Juan Tejeda, a San Antonio mu-sician, writer, arts administrator, educator, editor and publisher.

Tejeda is an instructor of music and Mexican American studies at Palo Alto College in San Antonio. He spent 18 years as the xicano music program director for the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, where he created the internation-

ally renowned Tejano Conjunto Festival. He has written books of poems, short stories and songs. Tejeda and his wife, Anisa Ono-fre, are co-publishers and editors of Aztlan Libre Press, an indepen-dent publishing house dedicated to the promotion, publication and free expression of xicano literature and art.

“Mr. Tejeda has such a wide range of expertise that he will be able to approach the presentation like he’s telling a story,” Tomek said. “He will give us a good over-view of the music scene.”

Jeffrey Di Leo, dean of the UHV School of Arts & Sciences, said another highlight of the event will be an informal panel with two mu-sicians – Robert Ojeda and Linda Escobar.

“Having musicians discuss their experiences with Tejano music adds a personal touch to the sym-posium,” he said. “I’m sure some of the attendees have heard their music or attended their perfor-mances. It will be fascinating to hear the perspectives from the mu-sicians themselves.”

Ojeda is a vocalist and plays the trumpet, guitar and bass. He has performed, recorded and toured with such notables as Big Lu y Los Muchachos, Little Joe y La Famil-ia, La Orquesta de Roberto Sus-taita and The Crystals. He founded Musica Chicana ensemble Bronze. He co-founded Calhoun County’s annual Ancestors Parade and de-veloped the monthly Tejano Can-tantes Music Series at Faye Ster-ling Park in Port Lavaca.

Escobar has a five-decade ca-reer, starting with her childhood hit record, “Frijolitos Pintos.” Na-tives of Alice, Linda and her father, Eligio Escobar, were a father and daughter team that toured nation-wide with a caravan of stars. Es-cobar later formed her own band, ZAMEN. In memory of her father and all veterans, Linda founded the El Veterano Conjunto Festival in San Antonio. On July 13, Es-cobar was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the South Texas Conjunto Music Awards.

For more information about the symposium, contact Tomek at 361-570-4363 or [email protected].

and recruiter for the TXSG.” A pageant veteran, Guzman

started in 2005, where she won the Miss Laredo Top Model Pageant. In 2006, she was first runner-up in the Miss Laredo Teen USA but claimed the title in 2008. Persever-ing, she competed for Miss Texas USA, being third runner-up in 2011, first runner-up in 2012 and fourth runner-up in 2013 before winning the title in 2014.

Guzman followed her father’s and grandfather’s footsteps into the TXSG. Both served several years with 1st Regiment; her fa-ther, a major in the medical corps, and her grandfather, an education professor posthumously promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Guzman looks to her family for inspiration to do well and set an example for others.

“My mom has always been there and pushed me to do well while I also try to do right to be a role model for my sister,” she said.

As Miss Texas USA, Guzman traveled throughout the state and nation addressing issues such as breast and ovarian cancer aware-ness, attended charity events, pa-rades and visited hospitals and

schools to help educate children regarding the dangers of drugs and the importance of education. She also volunteers with numerous non-profit organizations on top of her work with the Guard.

As Guzman relinquishes her crown to the next Miss Texas USA, she leaves us with this ad-

vice.“If you have a goal, push for it

and ask yourself why you want it,” said Guzman.

“Keep your head up till you achieve what you want and ac-complish it. I kept competing until I won Miss Texas USA.”

be another resource to promote and carry out regional economic development.”

The new auditorium will seat about 200 people, providing ample room for the ABR Reading Series and other public events. The Walk-ers are ABR patrons and have hosted a number of Reading Series receptions at their home.

“Naming funds support the bricks-and-mortar needs of UHV and also the intellectual work and services within our buildings,” said Greg Rutzen, UHV associate vice president for university ad-vancement and chief advancement officer. “With this gift, the Walkers join Dr. Josie Rivera and UHS Re-gent Roger Welder, who also have named prominent spaces in the building. I’m confident their col-lective generosity will inspire ad-ditional support for naming other rooms and the building itself.”

Charlie Alcorn, UHV director of corporate and foundation rela-tions, said the Walkers’ contribu-tion will generate goodwill and be an influence on additional external support.

“This gift provides an urgent re-minder and undeniable challenge to stakeholders across the area of the importance of higher educa-tion and economic development in our hometown,” Alcorn said. “The message is clear: It’s time to step up and help grow UHV into the comprehensive destination university that the Coastal Bend deserves.”

The Walkers said the building will make an attractive addition to the Victoria campus.

“I’m pleased with the invest-ment made in this building and the plans for future growth,” Kay said. “The university is committed to full development of becoming a destination university.”

In 2008, Ron served as co-chair of the Commission on Expanding Access to Higher Education. The commission unanimously recom-mended that UHV add freshmen and sophomores. Walker said the committee realized creating a successful destination university would require support from Victo-ria residents.

“This gift is meant to be another step to fulfill the pledge that was made,” he said.

When Rajan Ghag first arrived from England to attend school and play soccer at the University of Houston-Victoria in 2011, there was no dedicated athletic training room.

“At first, we had to perform treatment outside or in a hall-way corridor,” UHV head trainer Thomas Pribyl said. “Then we used two rooms at the Jaguar Court residence hall. We’ve come a long way in the past three years.”

Athletic training now has a home of its own. The new 2,400-square-foot UHV Athletic Training Room will open next week in the back of the Totah Building, 3402 N. Ben Wilson St., which also houses the UHV Small Business Devel-opment Center and the Victoria Chamber of Commerce. Much of the equipment in the room was purchased using a $69,800 con-tribution the M.G. and Lillie A. Johnson Foundation gave in 2011.

“When I walked in the door for the first time, I was speechless,” Ghag said. “It looks like a pro-fessional team’s training room. There’s a large amount of space, top equipment and different sec-tions for stretching, icing and car-dio. It’s a big transformation.”

UHV opens new training room to strengthen health of student-athletes

See ATHLETES, pg. 15

Head trainer Thomas Pribyl demonstrates how a trampoline is used to help University of Houston-Victoria student-athletes work on their balance. The trampoline is one of several pieces of equipment purchased with a Johnson Foundation donation for UHV’s new Athletic Training Room. Con-tributed photo.

The chamber will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the athletic training room at 3:30 p.m. Tues-day. The ceremony is open to the public.

UHV Athletics Director Ash Walyuchow said the room will help athletic trainers provide better care for student-athletes and assist recruiting new athletes to UHV.

“I think it’s one of the best facili-ties in this area and in the National Association of Intercollegiate Ath-letics,” Walyuchow said. “It even rivals some NCAA facilities that I’ve seen. This gives student-ath-letes space to stretch and get their muscles in condition. Preventing injuries is as much of a goal as treating injuries. We can now pro-vide the best of both worlds.”

The space formerly was used for storage by the UHV Facilities De-partment. Remodeling was done this spring. TBC Commercial Construction of Portland was the general contractor on the approxi-mately $200,000 project.

UHV began buying the equip-ment with the Johnson Founda-tion donation late in 2012. Some of the equipment was used at Jag-uar Court, but much of it had to be placed in storage until the new training room was ready.

“The Athletic Department

would like to extend a big thank you to the Johnson Foundation,” Walyuchow said. “The founda-tion provided us with the ability to purchase top-notch, cutting-edge equipment that will keep our stu-dent-athletes healthy and happy.”

The facility has several training tables and taping stations. There is a variety of exercise equipment, along with weights and ice baths. There’s even room for storage and laundry facilities.

“If an athlete comes in to get his ankle taped, he can get it done without disturbing anyone who is doing rehabilitation or treatment,” Pribyl said. “We weren’t necessar-ily looking for anything big; we just needed space to be function-al. With this open space, a lot of student-athletes can use this room at once, which was a luxury we didn’t have at Jaguar Court.”

The facility also has a private examination room, which will be used for physicals. All UHV ath-letes get a physical before their seasons get underway. Pribyl also plans to conduct cardiac screen-ings.

“I’m really impressed and pleased with the way the space turned out,” Walyuchow said. “The way the room is laid out pro-vides a good flow for everything that needs to be done. It’s easy ac-cess for student-athletes. There’s

ample parking. And it has desig-nated areas for wet treatments, which we’ve never had before. It will provide a lot more efficiency for our training staff.”

When an athlete is injured, an initial assessment and first-aid treatment will be performed in the athletic training room. If needed, an athlete is then referred to a physician. Most of the post-injury rehabilitation also will take place in the training room. In ad-dition, athletes can use equipment in the room to improve flexibility, strengthen their core and maintain their shoulders in the case of base-ball and softball players.

Pribyl said August through Oc-tober will be a busy time in the training room with soccer and golf in season and fall softball training. He is anxious to see players’ reac-tions to the facility, especially the ones who have been at UHV for multiple seasons.

The training room also will serve as a recruiting tool for UHV coaches, Pribyl said.

“When recruits see what is available, it shows the university is standing behind its students,” he said. “We are fortunate for an in-stitution of our size to have a train-ing room of this caliber. It couldn’t have happened without the support of the UHV administration and the Johnson Foundation.”
