San Diego Reader December 15, 2016 31
informing the reader what and who Meléndrez really was. Guadalupe was, in fact, the
name of his father, and of his family’s ranch in Ensenada. Antonio María Meléndrez tragically died just four days after his 25th birthday (1830 June 24 – 1855 June 28). His father was rancher José Gua- dalupe Meléndrez. Between December 1853 and May 1854, forces led by private citizen Antonio Meléndrez battled and harried Walker’s invaders until its remnants fled back to the U.S. However, he was intrigued
by enemies, including his comrade in arms, a Juan Bandini of San Diego. The Mexican army arrested and executed Meléndrez. His contribution to Mexico gained attention in the 1980s (Sources: Walther, Adal-
berto. 1988. Antonio Ma. Meléndrez: Caudi l lo y Patriota de Baja California. Published by the Universidad Autónoma de Baja Califor- nia. Walther, Lourdes et al. 2002. Adalberto Walther Meade: Vida y Obra de un Historiador. UABC.) Dale Chock Clairemont
We can quibble about this and that: I sometimes use modern spellings and references — “northern” instead of “Alta” California, for example — so as not to confuse a general reader. I consult older sources for concrete details. The closer we come to today’s sources, the more the boots have left the ground. But there’s no quibbling
about my egregious error regarding when Walker left for Mexico. Thank you for that correction.

Deny Access I’m sure I won’t be the only one to say “bulls—t” to the registered sex offender father who wants access to the kids at his son’s school (News Ticker, December 1, “Denied Access”). In my opinion he shouldn’t even have access to his son.

Higher Minimum Wage Would Backfire As great as it is that these people are getting out and protesting for a cause they find so important, I don’t think they understand the reality of what they are aim- ing for with trying to raise the minimum wage so dras- tically (News Ticker, “Fast- Food Wage Rally Snowballs,” November 30, SDReader. com). This semester I am
enrolled in an Economics 101 course at CSU Channel Islands. Throughout this course, we have learned a lot about the negative draw- backs of price controls, minimum wage being in that category. In California, we have already began gradually raising the minimum to $15, which typically will have no effect on our economy. These people want to see a larger change then that, which would most likely backfire on them. Large changes in mini-
mum wage would most defi- nitely lead to much higher rates of unemployment due to bankruptcy. There is no way companies would be able to keep up with such high costs to pay their workers. Kirsten Reilly Coronado
Go Big in 2017 The Reader is a wonderful rag. However, I am a little visually impaired, and I’m wondering if you would consider this request in the future. Maybe in 2017 you could enlarge your print. Even with a new glasses pre- scription it’s very difficult for me to read the small print. I wish you all a merry Christ- mas and a happy new year. Brandy Brannon via voicemail
