A new tradition: the Dia de Los Muertos festival

The Claremont Villagewill come alive withtributes to the dead dur-

ing Sunday’s Dia de LosMuertos festival.

Rio de Ojas is teaming up with theClaremont Library to ramp up their Diade los Muertos event this year. The freeevent, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4p.m., will feature Mariachis, a costumecontest and beautiful altars honoringfamily members who have passed on,according to Terri Riojas of Rio deOjas.

It’s promising to be larger than pre-vious festivals a few years ago.

“It just seemed like it was a goodyear to try a little bit more,” Ms. Riojassaid. “Pulling in more people, using thepark, its sort of what we envisioned.We’re just working on pulling thepieces together.”

The centerpiece of the festival willbe a massive community altar at Shel-ton Park, where residents are encour-aged to pay tribute to loved ones whohave died by providing disposablecopies of photographs or other items.

This is a main aspect of Dia de LosMuertos—commemorating the life of afriend or relative who has passed on bydisplaying things you remember about

them, from old pictures and mementosto even their favorite song or beverage.While the holiday falls around thesame time as Halloween, the two donot run in tandem.

When you walk into the shop Ms.Riojas runs with her husband, Ray Rio-jas, and you’ll understand how muchthe couple love Mexican culture. As

At the Dia de los Muertos celebration on October 29 at Shelton Parkvisitors can add their own mementos to a community-wide altar.

she learned more about the holiday, Ms.Riojas fell in love with how it celebratesfamily, both living and dead.

“It’s more than placing flowers on agraveyard, it’s building a structure remem-bering the people we lost in a more com-plete way, with pictures and stories thathappened with them,” Ms. Riojas said. “It’sa deeper way to remember them than anyway we’ve had available to us.”

The shop already has their own altar ondisplay ion the window, paying tribute tothe Mexican Players of the Padua HillsTheater. Intricate displays of skeletonssinging, dancing and enjoying life adornthe display, along with old photographsfrom a bygone era.

During the festival, resi-dents are encouraged tostart their own altars

around different parts of the park,and there will be children’s craftsat the Claremont Library, accord-ing to Ms. Riojas. Car altars madeinside vintage hot rods will alsobe on display in the parking lotbehind the Seaver House.

There will also be live music on theShelton Park stage, with Gloria y Las

Calaveras playing from 11 a.m. to noonand Mariachi music from noon to 3 p.m.

At 3 p.m., a Catrina yCatrin, or Dia de losMuertos costume com-

petition will also take place,featuring three age categories:4 to 11, 12 to 19 and 20-plus.Prizes will be available forthose who win, and competi-tors will promenade throughthe Village, Ms. Riojas said.

The concept of the Catrina datesback to La Calavera Catrina, or “Dap-per Skeleton,” a satirical drawing byfamed Mexican illustrator Jose Posadathat depicted a skeleton with a beautifuland opulent hat. The drawing pokes funat the aristocracy, noting that you can’ttake your riches with you when you die.

Over the years, the drawing has be-come synonymous with Dia de losMuertos festivities.

The festivities will not only be lim-ited to Shelton Park—Bardot is slatedto have a special menu, and Pizza NSuch will have a special pizza withchorizo, egg and potatoes.

The Claremont Museum of Art willhave free admission during the festival,and the Pomona College Museum of

Art will have a button-making stationas well as an exhibit featuring the workof famed Mexican artist Jose ClementeOrozco.

But the essence of the festival is tohave fun while remembering those whohave died. Mr. Riojas characterized theholiday as both cathartic and happy.

“It’s just fun,” he added. —Matthew Bramlett

Cal Poly Pomona offersagriculture career work-shop to veterans

Student veterans, military dependents, transitioningservice members, farmers, ranchers and entrepreneursare invited to attend a November 2 workshop at CalPoly Pomona highlighting opportunities in the field ofagriculture.

Cal Poly Pomona Veterans Resource Center, theDon Huntley College of Agriculture, and the US De-partment of Agriculture are sponsoring a VeteranFarmer Outreach Day workshop. The event, which isopen to the public, will consist of agricultural, vet-eran, business and educational resources.

“Veterans are among the most successful entrepre-neurs and have an important role to play in the nextgeneration of farmers and ranchers,” said CarlosSuarez, state conservationist for the USDA’s NaturalResources Conservation Service in California.

Veterans returning from active duty overseas to theUnited States face many challenges, including findingemployment. Since nearly half come from rural areas,the agricultural industry is a logical place to look forcareers. The USDA has developed a number of re-sources to help veteran farmers and ag professionalsget started in the industry, including internships, vol-unteer opportunities and microloan programs.

Cal Poly Pomona alumni who are now ag profes-sionals will participate in the workshop.

San Gabriel Valley native Daniel Delgado (a 2010graduate of horticulture, agronomy) served two yearsin the US Coast Guard. After leaving the service, heworked in the banking industry before discovering alove for plants.

Although he had initially planned to transfer fromMt. San Antonio College to Cal Poly Pomona in po-litical science, a chance encounter with Dan Hostetler,the then-chairman of Cal Poly Pomona’s plant sciencedepartment led him to focus on horticulture andagronomy instead.

“I wanted to learn to grow plants,” said Mr. Del-gado, who will be a keynote speaker at the outreachday workshop. “I realized I not only wanted to seeand smell beautiful plants and flowers, but utilize andtaste what they had to offer.”

A USDA scholarship gave him the opportunity towork for the US Forest Service in New Mexico.

Today, Mr. Delgado works as a supervising agricul-tural standards investigator for the Riverside CountyAgricultural Commissioner’s office. He hopes tomove up into management and work on budgetingand writing regulations.

The USDA estimates there will be 57,900 high-skilled job openings annually in the industry through2020, but only 35,400 college graduates to fill thoseopenings.

In addition to the panel discussion, veterans’ organ-izations, agricultural and business resource exhibitorswill host booths at the event, creating opportunitiesfor one-on-one engagement and networking.

The workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. atthe AGRIscapes Center at Cal Poly Pomona, 4102 S.University Dr., in Pomona.
