East Palo Alto has a significant community of residents who immigrated from
Michoacan, Mexico together with their food and culture. One of the best ways to
experience a slice of this culture is to eat at El Galope, a restaurant serving
Michoacan-style Mexican food for over fifteen years in East Palo Alto. Owned and operated by
Guillermina González, El Galope is a taqueria/restaurant and a whole lot more.

Por Maria Del Carmen Valdes
Educar es una palabra que encierra en si misma un compromiso adquirido por la sociedad,
por lo que no podemos verla con indiferencia, nuestro compromiso como padres de familia
es el principal y el mas importante punto de partida, así como la escuela y en si misma nuestra comunidad.
Los padres de familia deben sembrar la semilla dentro de sus hijos de conservación de valores
morales, el respeto, el amor, la responsabilidad, el valor, la esperanza, la fe, el perdón, etc.

By the Juneteenth Committee
El Significado de Juneteenth
The Juneteenth Festival was really a good one this year and we need more support for this kind
of event because it brings the community together. It allows people both to reflect on the issues
effecting the community and to show a positive image. It's an important event that should be continued every year.
The Committee worked hard this year. In some ways Juneteenth helped pull the community together in a period
where we had been having a flare up of violence. People came out to enjoy the music, listen to what the speakers had to say and greet old friends.

"Letter to the Community" sent to residents
Los residentes estan invitados "para charlar con el jefe"
este sábado Junio 25, 2005
"I believe the first steps necessary to restore public trust and confidence are openness and communication."
So states new East Palo Alto Police Chief Ron Davis in a "Letter to the Community" sent out this week. In the letter the new Chief describes immediate steps he has taken to respo
nd to the recent increase in violence. He goes on to describe strategic law enforcement steps he plans to take in the months to come.
However, Chief Davis puts law enforcement in a broader contest when he says, "For long-term crime and violence reduction to occur, the police must work in partnership with the co
mmunity to identify and solve problems."
