those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. In the Fall season, the
apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. When unexpected com-
pany drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.

Her aprons were made
from sackcloth for every day use, and broadcloth for Sunday best. She showed of f her
sewing skills by adding embroidery designs and frills to her “company cooking apron.” When little tykes came
visiting, her apron wiped ice cream around eager mouths. When dinner was ready,
Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron and the men knew it was time to come
METZLER from 9
which let’s face it, has a long history with Cuba dating from colonial times to the present day, has taken a pro-active stance on human rights in the Carib- bean island? Given that the Madrid government
presently also holds the presidency of the European Union, it is all the more of a political bully pulpit to exert posi- tive influence over Cuba. Botin conceded that Spanish governments both of the right, namely Aznar and currently Jose Maria Zapatero of the socialist Left have spoken of “engagement” for the island. Yet neither right nor left has achieved any positive human rights results in dealing with Fidel Castro. Interestingly, political pressures from
the European Union states have been reserved and limited with the excep- tion of the Czech Republic’s courageous stand. Botin described the United Nations po- litical position on Cuba as “immoral.” Though he does not favor the long

standing American economic embargo on Cuba which dates from the early years of Castro’s rule, Botin admitted that what the Havana regime does not like to admit is that the USA is the is- land’s 5th largest trading partner and the 1st exporter of food to Cuba. This may prove an uncomfortable contradic-

adoring look, clean a smudgy face with a final kiss. Her apron was wonder-

Dear Friends, Years ago, a Mother’s
Day “gift” apron gave her a message of love, but to the giver it spoke of home
tion but it is equally a commercial real- ity. He conceded that while Raul Castro
formally replaced his ailing brother Fidel in 2008, in fact the expected reforms “never materialized.” Moreover the Com- munist Party of Cuba “controls all.” Dealing with the internet, Secretary
General Ban stated, “The censors are also active in cyberspace, restricting the use of the internet and the new me- dia.” According to Botin, the internet in Cuba plays a very limited role; “It is one of the lowest in the world with only 9 in 1,000 people having access, which is actually lower than Togo.” The numbers of bloggers are few but naturally under surveillance. Botin conceded the regime is a “per- sonality driven dictatorship.” In a rivet- ing account of his four years in Cuba, “Castro’s Funerals,” Botin wrote a book as a way to “exorcise myself” from the self-censorship and compromises made while living in Castro’s state. Secretary General Ban stated perhaps optimistically, “This year’s theme is free- dom of information; the right to know.” I’m not so certain the Castro brothers would agree.
