Cuban Peers Dispute Ted Cruz’s Father’s Story of Fighting for Castro – The New York Times

Told that País had been executed the next year, in a different place, and that this had been amply documented, Rafael Cruz brushed off the mistake: “I don’t remember where País was killed,” he said.In his book “A Time for Truth,” published in June, Ted Cruz writes that the rebels who attacked the Santiago Police Headquarters met devastating resistance, and “All of the students were killed, as was their leader, Frank País.”But of the scores of rebels who participated in the attack, only a few actually were killed, according to eyewitness accounts and historical documents.Mr. Cruz did not defend his exaggeration of the number of rebels killed in the Nov. 30 uprising. “I mean, I left within a couple of days of that,” he said. “We left town.”Conflicting AccountsAll of the unrest in Santiago de Cuba led the Batista regime to close down the university there, and Mr. Cruz returned to Matanzas, on the north coast, where he says he began leading his old cell and running weapons. In Ted Cruz’s book, he graduated to saboteur, disrupting transportation and communications infrastructure throughout the province.“Yes, I know him,” said Liborio Vera Andreu, 79, a schoolmate and leader in the youth brigades in Matanzas. But he said Mr. Cruz’s involvement had been limited to participating “in strikes and in protests.”

With his companion’s lifeless body lying in the middle of road, Blackie stood in front and protected it from passing cars.

Youth movement nets $2 million for bike lanes in Santa Ana – The Orange County Register

No one knows Santa Ana’s streets like the people who live there, and a group of local youth has used that knowledge in an unprecedented effort to get the city a $2.37 million grant for bike lanes on the roads they ride every day.The small group of middle and high school students, working with nonprofit KidWorks, spearheaded a “bikability” assessment in central Santa Ana two years ago and realized that the thoroughfare they rode on to get to school – Edinger Avenue – was in great need of bike lanes.With some guidance from KidWorks staff and Santa Ana planners, the youth wrote a grant for active transportation funding from the state, and late last month they learned the project submitted through the city had been awarded the money.
