The Henry County Sheriff’s Office says deputies got a call Friday around 11:05 p.m. that several people had been shot at El Parral Mexican Restaurant located at 670 Commonwealth Boulevard in Martinsville. Deputies responded to the scene and found one person suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso and legs. He was identified as Orlando Johnson, 31, of Martinsville. Johnson later died from his wounds. Investigators say it all started when an argument broke out on a sidewalk at the restaurant. The argument then escalated and deputies say Johnson and another man, Laquon Moss, pulled out handguns and started shooting. Deputies say Moss shot Johnson multiple times, and in the process, he also shot a 25-year-old woman in the leg and a 32-year-old man in the arm. Both of those victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The preliminary investigative findings show that a bullet from Johnson’s gun hit another Martinsville man, 25-year-old Malik Douglas, killing him. Moss, 26, of Ridgeway has been charged with first-degree murder, two counts of malicious wounding, three counts of the use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He’s being held at the Henry County Jail without bond. On Saturday afternoon, the El Parral Mexican Restaurant released the following statement concerning the incident: Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Henry County Sheriff’s Office at 276-638-8751 or Crimestoppers at 63-CRIME (632-7463).

event center in Austin Pastors Raymond Tuck and Rory Synoground have successfully purchased the El Parral Ballroom at 210 Fourth St NE and are looking to transform the former Mexican-themed property into a Christian entertainment and event center “There’s a niche that needs to be here in this area and that’s positive Christian entertainment that the whole family can enjoy,” Synoground said The church began negotiating to buy El Parral last March after Synoground and Tuck were moved by the property’s history the site was home to a large tabernacle constructed by Pastor Billy Sunday who held large revivals there for up to 3,500 people It’s that spirit of Christian revival which is driving the pastors to offer a Christian center which will have a faith-based coffee house and a radio station broadcasting live Christian events as they’re booked “We just want to make a positive impact on the city,” Tuck said The main ballroom area of what was the El Parral Ballroom is now the main worship center for the International Fellowship Word Church While the coffee shop will likely start up at the end of the month where the 1910 Restaurant used to be which they are already renting out for events The church has launched a GoFundMe online campaign to raise $70,000 to renovate the space for its congregation from putting down carpeting inside the center to renovating the 1910’s space into a non-alcoholic cafe setting featuring Christian entertainment the pastors hope to renovate the property further including putting in a park next to the center Synoground and Tuck hope the community will embrace the smaller church’s goals to provide a Christian environment for the area is to just be a blessing and be a positive influence on the Austin community,” Synoground said The

But it’s a theft all the same. It’s problematic for lots of other reasons, too, Bucar reminds us: poorly paid teachers, anti-vax sentiments, gurus who sexually assault their students. Yoga can be “orientalist and racist and classist,” creepy and exploitative. Fair. But again these critiques, even when correct, obscure Bucar’s more provocative “yoga as religious appropriation” argument. Despite these complexities and reservations, I agree with the thrust of Bucar’s argument. Really, I’ve felt her argument. Being sold something ancient and reverent for the sake of your “wellness,” just as you’d be marketed a skin cream, is weird. The yoga videos I watch on YouTube abound with self-care slogans covered with foreign words and empty affirmations. The transcendence on offer is superficial, more about making money than cultivating souls. So what’s the yogi to do? Bucar doesn’t propose “de-religioning yoga,” “scrubbing” our classes of Eastern words, gestures, and beliefs. Instead, she opts to educate, trying to “acknowledge her indebtedness to forms of devotional yoga” in the classes she teaches. She calls postures by both their English and Sanskrit names. She begins classes with quotes from the Bhagavad Gita. She doesn’t say namaste (a “fetishization”). Solidarity hijab is never okay. But yoga? Bucar uneasily continues to teach, moving through postures with all her caveats and contextualizations. Why? Well, yoga helps with her back pain. And there’s something else, too. Sometimes, in spite of her secularism, her practice “dips into devotion.” No religious communities want their objects and practices desecrated. But exploration, borrowing, and sharing, whether explicitly for evangelism or as a simple act of welcome? That’s often fine, even encouraged. But in hindsight, Bucar isn’t proud of these trips, which she now considers religious appropriation. She worries that many of her students were “considering religious ritual merely something to instrumentalize for personal growth.” She’s concerned about the “existential risks” such a trip creates, the “crises of faith” it might precipitate even for Catholics. “I created and led a program that encouraged students not just to observe religion, but in a very real way, to do religion,” she frets. Her students, no matter their preexisting beliefs, presume no such thing. Maybe, as in my yoga class, they’re just coming for a good time, for drinking and flirtation and a trip to Europe. But I don’t think so. To me, they seem eager and aware of implications, ready to engage with something or someone beyond themselves. They’re coming not to steal, but to seek. Katherine Lucky is an editor at Christianity Today. Get Commonweal's latest, delivered twice weekly. After clambering drunkenly onto the stage of a nightclub, he stood face to face with the singer Chalino Sanchez. Both men had traveled similar paths. Like Chalino, Gallegos was a teenager when he left his home state of Sinaloa, where his family worked the fields in poverty. Gallegos was looking for “the American dream, to earn money,” he would say decades later. It didn’t turn out that way. Chalino found fame and fortune in the dance halls of southeastern Los Angeles County, singing corridos — ballads that chronicled the lives of men who made a living sending drugs, money and people across the U.S.-Mexican border. Gallegos was broke, addicted to heroin, and losing his marriage when he invited himself onstage at the Plaza Los Arcos in Coachella. Gallegos pointed a gun at Chalino’s chest and pulled the trigger four times. Chalino drew his own gun and fired back. Pandemonium erupted. A young man, dancing with his wife, was fatally wounded in the crossfire. Chalino eluded death that night, but it was only a reprieve. Four months later, his body was found dumped in a canal in Sinaloa. His murder, which has never been solved, cast the earlier shooting in a new light: Was that chaotic night in Coachella the handiwork of a drunken patron, or was Gallegos a hired gun for some trafficker Chalino had angered? Gallegos was sentenced to 20 years to life, but it wasn’t until 2012, when he was first up for parole, that he spoke about the night he tried to kill Chalino. At that hearing and subsequent ones in 2017 and 2022, reported here for the first time, Gallegos recounted his life leading up to the shootout at Plaza Los Arcos and told two contradicting stories of why he shot the singer. After 31 years behind bars, Gallegos, 64, was released from prison on May 9, according to a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He faced deportation to Mexico, but his current whereabouts are unknown and neither he nor his family could be reached for comment. Chalino’s legend has only grown with the passage of time. The night at Plaza Los Arcos made him known as a man who did not just sing of gunfights but won them. His murder remains an enduring mystery. The theories of who wanted him dead, and for what reasons, are too numerous to count. California Until his murder in prison two weeks ago, Michael Torres ran one of the most intricate and lucrative black market businesses in L.A. County: the jails. If Chalino’s fans believed Gallegos could offer some clue as to who ultimately had the singer killed, there are none in the transcripts of his parole hearings, which raise as many questions as they answer. Like so much of Chalino’s life, the story Gallegos told of that night has changed over time. “So we’re left wondering,” a prosecutor remarked, “what is the truth?” Gallegos was born to a poor family of eight children, he told the parole board. He said his family owned a plot of land in Navolato, about 20 miles west of Culiacán, the Sinaloan capital. Beginning in the third grade, Gallegos would spend the first half of the day in school and the rest working with his parents in the fields, he said. He dropped out in the sixth grade to work full-time. Gallegos described his family as “dysfunctional,” recalling a childhood “with a lot hurt, with a lot of pain.” “When you can’t do anything,” he said, “you feel angry and resentful and you feel — feel powerless.” At 14, Gallegos said, he followed his older brothers to the Coachella Valley. He picked crops and later worked as a mechanic in Indio, fixing junked cars and selling them, he said. He was deported several times but never waited more than a few days before returning illegally to the United States, a parole commissioner said. By 17, Gallegos was drinking two six-packs of beer a day, starting a spiral of addiction that he blamed for the fraying of his marriage, the shootout with Chalino, and the loss of his freedom. He drank, he said, to forget he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. “Everyone out on the streets has problems,” he told the board in 2012. “And we start drinking to avoid the daily problems. But the next day, the problems are still there. Nothing gets resolved.” After four years of slugging beer and tequila, “your body asks for something stronger,” he said. He started snorting heroin. Before long, he was injecting it. A father of two, Gallegos spent everything he earned on booze and heroin, he said. His marriage to a woman he’d met as a teenager was falling apart. She would divorce him after he went to prison, he said. On the day he shot Chalino, Gallegos said, he started the morning with a beer, then went to a cockfighting match. By the time he got to Plaza Los Arcos that night, he had drunk 30 beers and shot heroin, he said. He was carrying a pistol he’d bought from a “paisa” who had gone back to Mexico, he told the board. It was his first time seeing Chalino perform. “I had only heard and listened to his music,” he said, “because he sings corridos.” Gallegos may not have known it, but Chalino had taken a similar path to the United States. Raised on a small Sinaloan rancho, Chalino — born Rosalino Sanchez — crossed the border in 1977, four years after Gallegos. He too found work in the fields of the Coachella Valley. Chalino began selling small amounts of marijuana and cocaine and helping his brother, Armando, smuggle people across the border, Sam Quinones wrote for the LA Weekly in 1998. After Armando was shot to death in a Tijuana hotel, Chalino wrote his first corrido in his brother’s memory. By the time he took the stage at Plaza Los Arcos, Chalino had found an audience: drug traffickers who paid him — sometimes in cash, sometimes with a watch or a pistol — to trace the arcs of their short lives in song. His music also appealed to legions of Southern California teenagers who were not from the narco world but found themselves enthralled by his stories of gunfights, betrayals and vendettas. A cowboy hat perched on his head, a handgun more often than not tucked in his waistband, Chalino sold out clubs such as El Parral in Southgate and El Farrallon in Lynwood. That night in Coachella, 400 people had crowded into Plaza Los Arcos. Somewhere in the crowd was Gallegos, who would offer to the parole board two very different accounts of his actions that night. At his first hearing in 2012, Gallegos said he merely wanted to hand Chalino his gun so he could fire it onstage as he sang, “just like they do in Mexico.” “But what happened was that the singer got scared,” he said, “and I didn’t know that he had a gun also.” Gallegos claimed he and Chalino began shooting at the same time. Rene Carranza, 20, had been dancing with his 18-year-old wife when a bullet pierced an artery in his thigh. Carranza, father to a 2-month-old baby, bled to death. Six others, including Carranza’s wife, were shot but survived. “I feel bad for what I did,” Gallegos told the board in 2012, “but you can’t fix anything by feeling like that.” Five years later and again in 2022, Gallegos told a different story. Before taking the stage, Gallegos said, Chalino passed by his table. He asked the singer to perform a particular song and “send some greetings to some people whom I knew from another town.” Chalino agreed, Gallegos told the board. But as the night wore on and the song Gallegos had wanted to hear wasn’t played, “I started feeling irate,” he said. “Because, you know, the thing is that I was feeling ignored.” After climbing onstage, Gallegos said, he fired four shots at Chalino from about three feet away. The singer drew his own gun and fired once at Gallegos. It jammed, and Chalino threw the gun at Gallegos’ face, a parole commissioner said. Gallegos was dragged offstage and wrestled to the ground. Someone in the crowd took the gun from him and shot him in the mouth. Anna Laura Costa Porsborg came to Los Angeles last Christmas Eve for a weeklong vacation. Authorities do not believe she ever left. Her remains, they suspect, are somewhere in the Angeles National Forest. Parole commissioners and prosecutors from the Riverside County district attorney’s office said they did not entirely believe either story. “Eight people were shot because this inmate says the singer didn’t play a song he wanted,” Deputy Dist. Atty. Terri Wyatt said in 2022. “That’s ridiculous, senseless, violent, and I don’t think we’re getting at the exact motive here.” Noting that Chalino was murdered four months later, Commissioner William Muniz asked Gallegos if he went to Plaza Los Arcos intending to kill him. “No, I didn’t even know who he was,” Gallegos said, contradicting his earlier statement that he knew of Chalino but had never seen him perform. “I was just going to listen to him, to sing, but I — I didn’t know him.” Unlike at his hearing a decade earlier, Gallegos admitted in 2022 that he tried to murder Chalino and said he was responsible for the death of Carranza, whether he fired the shot that killed him or not. “Even though it took me so long,” he said, “I now understand that I have a moral responsibility to be responsible of my crime.” In weighing whether to grant Gallegos parole, the board considered not only his crimes but his record in prison. Gallegos had been written up for smoking tobacco, possessing sewing needles and nails, and damaging state-issued clothing, according to his parole transcripts. But the board noted he hadn’t been disciplined since 2017 and looked favorably on his work record, which included jobs as a printer, porter, landscaper and dining room attendant. Gallegos said he’d been sober since his arrest in 1992, and the board saw no evidence to disprove that. “You clearly have demonstrated change,” Muniz told him. Mary Xjimenez, a spokeswoman for the state corrections department, declined to say whether Gallegos was turned over to immigration authorities for deportation after he was released in May. Gallegos told the board he wanted to return to Sinaloa, where his father still lived on their family’s plot of land. If deported, he swore never to come back. “A human being that has spent 20, 30 years in prison in the United States,” he said, “the only thing that person wants is to go back to his or her country and spend the last years of their life with their family. Because there’s nothing here for me but prison, I — I just want to go.” Matthew Ormseth is a reporter for the Los Angeles Times.

But Gonzalez and his brother-in-law partner, Gonzalo Cibils, aren’t afraid to go out on a limb. The partners have created a restaurant unique to Austin, not just another Mexican restaurant with tacos and pre-mix margaritas, Cibils says. The partners had to close their eyes and take a trip back in time — back to Mexico. “We wanted to deviate a little from the cliche Mexican restaurant,” Gonzalez said, who mentioned the name of the new business stems from the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution. To incorporate that, Gonzalez and Cibils covered the walls with black-and-white images of soldiers riding horses, sitting among adobe buildings, and wearing sombreros and bandoliers. Furthermore, the business partners were inspired from traditional elements of Guadalajara, especially the food. “It’s Mexican inspired, but seafood is our main focus right now,” Gonzalez said. To achieve that, the business partners sought a gourmet Mexican chef who could go beyond the realm of tacos, burritos and fajitas. That wasn’t an easy task, but with time and luck, they found Reynaldo Olivares. Better yet, they found him in Austin. Gonzalez said Olivares was working in construction because he no longer wanted to cook if he couldn’t use his talents. The 1910, however, offered that opportunity. Gonzalez is excited, as his new chef has operated restaurants in Mexico and brings vast experience and cuisine options to the table, literally. “He’s got over 300 dishes,” Gonzalez said. For example, one seafood cocktail includes octopus, fresh oysters, shrimp and sauce. “You just pair it with a lager beer, and it’s a dream,” Cibils said. Gonzalez and Cibils are relatively young business owners, 33 and 29 respectively. They realize not everybody will appreciate their new business model. “It’s risky,” Cibils said. “Some people are disappointed, but we know for sure there are some people, they want to see something different.” The brothers-in-law know this from their own experiences. Gonzalez was co-owner of a bar and restaurant in Miami before returning to Austin. He previously managed El Parral until owner Custodio Serrano wanted out of that business. Gonzalez was ready to shift the focus and manage his own idea. Because he also wanted the bar to be unique, he sought the expertise of Cibils. “I started in San Francisco,” Cibils said. “I actually went to bartending school in San Francisco: San Francisco School of Bartending.” Since then, Ciblis has managed bars, including a French bar in San Francisco and a Latin bar in Los Angeles. Now he brings his ideas and heritage to Austin. Cibils wanted to focus on Mexican drinks with fresh ingredients. To start, he got rid of the pre-mix bottles and store-bought infusions. He brought in craft-style beers and an array of tequilas. He is focusing on not only drinks derived from fresh fruits, but drinks people have never tried. In just a week, it has gone well. The managers haven’t forgotten about the ballroom aspect, either. Cibils was excited to find out Johnny Cash played at the ballroom when it was the Terp in 1957. He and Gonzalez want to cater to all demographics in Austin, they said, and bring back the joy of the ballroom. This past Sunday, people were already playing soccer in there. Thus far people have been visiting the business after Bruins games on weekends and slowly finding out about the buzz. Cibils and Gonzalez have a lot of work to finish, but the business is already open Wednesdays through Sundays. Much more is yet to come, all with a focus on the experience. “It has been an opportunity to show and invite people to something that is not that common,” Gonzalez said. The 1910 is decorated throughout with pictures of the Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910. The college basketball schedule on Monday is not one to miss.

dancing his friends and carpenters have begun the huge task of customizing every large room and behind it lies a fully furnished bar with another stage will eventually serve as an indoor soccer room Serrano considered several other locations for ballrooms in the past; it’s something he’s wanted to open for a long time Then he considered the restaurant supply store in Austin he was excited because his home is in Austin The two met while working at Quality Pork Producers in 1998 sprinklers and equipment are just a few of the changes But Serrano said he still has a long way to go and he never imagined he would spend this much and take it this far “You don’t have any idea what this place looked like,” Garate said then it was very basic — a large open space without much else Although the project has gone farther than anyone thought Garate said it’s too late for Serrano to turn back now “He’s not a quitter; he’s a fighter,” Garate said Serrano and his wife hope that everyone around Austin will use the facility and bring the community closer together but Serrano and Garate have been working on planning their own events to get people in the doors groups have booked rooms for dances and graduations Serrano and Garate plan on holding weddings Some upcoming events include a Valentine’s Day dance and Austin Medical Center convention El Parral has already been hosting a band every weekend it will have its kitchen and offices in place as well and visitors can expect it to be back to it’s old Terp form or better “It’s been empty for too many years,” Garate said then you are more than likely familiar with The Tower one of the hottest teen clubs in the state of Minnesota With music provided by Rush Hour and Denny Charnecki and the DC Drifters organizers hope that this night of remembrance and fun will bring back the feel and the vibe The Tower created during its years of business “It’s a tribute to the original founders of The Tower,” said Bruce Folken the result of efforts by three men in Austin looking to give teens a place to go partnered with Dale Modine and Gar Nash to bring The Tower to reality “Clarence decided he wanted to create Austin’s version of American Bandstand in Austin,” Folken said which was on the second floor of the building that was on the East Side.” The Tower was open after school and on the weekends when some of the biggest bands of the state would play Admission was just 25 cents during the weekdays and 75 cents on the weekend A photo of the bar area at The Tower that provided snacks and beverages for the teens.Photo provided “We called it the stairway to heaven,” Folken said referring to the long flight of stairs teens took “You get to the top and all of your friends were there This story of how The Tower came to be was the backbone of how the tribute came into being I nominated Clarence Nybo for the Austin High School Music alumni award,” Folken said it just so happens the Austin ArtWorks Festival was 65 years from the day The Tower opened.” “I contacted his daughter and we started talking She told me the story and I got hooked,” Folken continued “We needed to honor and remember the memory of the guys who started The Tower Who gave us a central meeting point we wouldn’t have had.” The Tower was somewhat of a rarity in the area and the state there weren’t that many places just for teens “They were average guys who wanted a place for kids to hang out,” Folken said “There were very few places like that in Minnesota and America that had a safe place for kids to go.” The Tower collected performances from well-known Minnesota acts like The Mustangs was part of the opening act — The Saints — that played at the Tower on opening night in 1957 The Tower was also a source of inspiration “What it created was a lot of musicians,” Folken said “A lot of these people started garage bands and they would stand there and watch these guys It just became a ripple effect to generate musicians orchestra program and all of the churches had great choirs.” Modine and Nash created include not just music Folken is hoping the event will be a starting point for The Tower’s lasting legacy The first step of that is to hopefully create an annual event that could eventually morph into a two-day event Folken is hoping that at some point a statue of Nybo might be erected as well as a lasting source of help for current students “Hopefully we can raise enough money to start to have scholarships for kids in conjunction with the MacPhail Center [for Music],” Folken said Cost to take part in the Tower Tribute is $20 in advance and $25 the night of the event visit The Tower Tribute page on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/groups/1994131210788751 There is also Tower apparel available at both Sweet Reads and Sterling Main Street “I just want to thank Tim Duren for the job Lisa Deyo (Sweet Reads) and Jenny Legried of Sterling,” Folken said “The merchants in Austin have been great to work with.” A

that vegetable oils were added in lieu of milk in their production; that they weighed less than the amount stated on their packaging; and that the main side of their labeling didn’t list the percentage of caseinates (milk proteins) used in their production The cheese brands whose sale has been banned are Fud Aurrera  and Philadelphia (original and light) With regard to “natural yogurt,” the breaches were the addition of sugar and non-compliance with the minimum required quantity of milk The banned brands are Danone Bene Gastro and Danone Natural The SE said the companies that make the banned cheeses and yogurts will be fined in addition to having the sale of their products banned Profeco chief Ricardo Sheffield told the newspaper Milenio that the agency he heads has initiated legal proceedings against Danone for deceitful advertising of its Bene Gastro yogurt He said the name of the product implies that it is good for the gastrointestinal system whereas due to its significant corn syrup content it is in fact not good “It could even be damaging to health,” he said adding that the legal battle against Danone will likely end up in court More legal battles could be looming as two manufacturers have challenged the results of the lab tests The manufacturer of Philadelphia cream cheese asserted that the decision to ban its products is “unfounded.” Mondelēz México said in a statement that it has evidence that quality studies carried out by Profeco’s national laboratory in September found that Philadelphia cheese met all required standards The company said the Economy Ministry’s order to the National Association of Supermarkets and Department Stores to withdraw its cream cheese products caused it “surprise” and “bewilderment” because it is “totally unfounded and harms the reputation of our brand.” rejected the findings with respect to its sliced insisting that the product is made with 100% milk Source: Milenio (sp), El Financiero (sp)  ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily - Property of Tavana LLC for the first time since things locked-down in early 2020 because of the Global Pandemic the Pataskala Chamber held its monthly Chamber lunch meeting in-person The June gathering took place at Tri-Village Christian Church on Broad Street See also: Pataskala's Shank says winning Indy 500 exceeded all expectations the first featured speaker hailed from the medical world Robert Montagnese/President & CEO of Licking Memorial Health Systems spoke briefly and introduced Mark DeFrancisco whose presentation focused largely on new strategies for detecting and treating aortic aneurysms the so-called "silent killer," and a particular threat to older male smokers LMHS also provided the June 16 lunch for the monthly meeting Chamber President and Pataskala Library Director Jeff Rothweiler also announced the Chamber is kicking off a "Pataskala Area Food taverns or retail shops in which they make a purchase of $5 or more will receive a special stamp to place in their booklet Collecting eight stamps qualifies participants for a prize to be claimed at the Pataskala Chamber office at 430 S Those who collect 16 of 20 stamps will be placed in a drawing to win one of the gift cards provided by sponsors or participating vendors The passport event prizes remain valid through end of December when the event will conclude Trail destinations include: Calico Cupboard Learn more at https://www.pataskalachamber.com/pataskala-area-food-beverage-retail-trail/ Print Southern California isn’t just the biggest U.S market for música Mexicana;

when restaurant employees motioned for him to come to the rescue of a choking woman he wasn’t sure what was wrong until the woman’s husband said she couldn’t breathe Hall asked the woman if she could breathe and she shook her head and couldn’t talk or cough “Her airway was completely cut off,” Hall said Hall told the woman to stand up and he began the Heimlich maneuver Hall was eating with officer Jamie Allen at the time and told him to get EMS and the fire department en route for assistance Hall said the Heimlich maneuver wasn’t effective at first but eventually he was able to remove the food and the woman could breathe again The fire department came shortly after and evaluated her to make sure she was okay She signed a waiver saying she didn’t need to go to the hospital Later Hall was hailed as a hero once word of his good deed reached police department headquarters “It really wasn’t that big of a deal,” Hall said Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device Account
