GRAND JUNCTION — Wildlife officials say a 50-year-old Colorado Springs man is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries after he was attacked by a black bear while camping near Lake San Cristobal in southwestern Colorado. Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Mike Porras tells the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel the man was camping in a legal but undesignated area when he was awakened by something pushing on his tent at about 4 a.m. Wednesday. The man pushed back, and the bear reacted. Porras says the bear probably had begun to associate tents with food. A bear thought to have been involved in the attack was euthanized Thursday.

As a child, and young adult, I heard my family’s story of their flight fromwar-torn Mexico. I never heard praise for the popular heroes who adorntoday’s t-shirts and posters. This photo of Lorenza Barrios Arias was taken after her arrival in the U.S. She was the aunt of Genevieve Barrios Southgate, who wrote of her family's experiences in the Mexican Revolution. "My aunt Lorenza (Mama Lencha) would not speak about the horrors that they witnessed until she was well into her eighties," Southgate wrote. What I heard was the story offederal troopsstormingthrough their rancho(small settlement) one day and the revolutionaries storming through the next. Both taking food and supplies for their men and leaving behind scarce food and destruction for the families of the rancho. On the last of these invasionsa rebel general attempted to recruit my 17-year-old uncle, Francisco (Pancho). My grandmother, Epifania Barrios, pleadedwith the general to not take her son from her. When the general threatenedto shoot Francisco, my grandmother stood in front of her son and told the general that he would have to shoot her first. To everyone’s surprise, the general relentedand told my grandmother that he would return the next day and if the family was still at the ranch, he would recruitFrancisco to fight with him and his men. That night the family of Trinidad and Epifania Barrios left El Rancho Los Garcia, Jerez, Zacatecas, with whatever necessities they could carry and fled to the city of Zacatecas in June 1914. Besides Trinidad and Epifania, the family caravanincluded their sons, Francisco and my father, 5-year-old Cruz, their daughter and son-in-law, Lorenza and Jose Arias and their infant son Antonio. In Zacatecas, they hoped to find safe shelter. What they came upon was the aftermath of the bloodiest battle of the warand the turning point for the revolutionaries. My aunt Lorenza (Mama Lencha) would not speak about the horrorsthat they witnessedin the Mexican Revolutionuntil she was well into her eighties. She then told of the family approaching the hilly city and seeing streams of blood flowing down the streets, and pigs eating off of dead bodies. That night the Barrios found shelter with a kind family. Early the next day, word came that there was a freight train passing through later in the day. The family quickly gathered their meagerpossessions and ran to wait for the train to El Paso del Norte. It was an arduoustrip, but they were all together. In those days, all that was needed to enter the U.S. was to pay a fee of a few cents each. My Mama Lencha said they had a hard time scrapingupthe total fee, but the kind immigrations officer took pity on them and let them enter with what money they had. As soon as they could, each able person in the family found jobs. My family worked the fields, the mines and the factories of the Southwest, until they had enough money to buy a house and a small grocery store in El Monte. My uncle Francisco died in his early twenties of a lung disease he developed from working in the mines of Arizona. After marryingRuth (Maria del Refugio) Almanza, and moving to Santa Ana,Cruz and Ruth Barriosopened their own grocery business and became respected community leaders.
