AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN Emma Barrientos championed Latino community, arts Wife of retired state senator died Monday at age 67. By Kate Alexander AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Updated: 10:20 p.m. Monday, Dec. 28, 2009 Published: 9:39 p.m. Monday, Dec. 28, 2009 Post a Comment E-mail Print Share Larger type Emma Barrientos, a champion for the arts in Austin and wife of retired state Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, died unexpectedly early Monday. She was 67. Barrientos was an early advocate for the city's Mexican American Cultural Center and served on the founding board of the Mexic-Arte Museum and as board president of the Austin Museum of Art. "We all believed that the arts bridges communities, and I think that was her way of bringing the arts to every segment of the population," said Travis County District Clerk Amalia Rodriguez- Mendoza, who knew Barrientos for 40 years. Barrientos wanted cultural options for her five children, but there were few, said Velia Sanchez, one of Barrientos' closest friends. So the two women helped establish the Ballet Folklórico de Texas, a Mexican folk dance school and company. Barrientos' daughters danced at the school. Like her husband, Barrientos was a community activist and fought to ensure that the talents of Latinos in Austin were acknowledged and celebrated, Sanchez said. Gonzalo Barrientos said that she marched with him in the streets for social justice and that they shared a philosophy that he was a public servant, not a politician. "If she ever ran against me, she would have beat me," he said Monday. She played an active behind-the-scenes role in her husband's political campaigns, beginning with his first — and unsuccessful — bid for the Texas House of Representatives in 1972. When her husband decided to run again in 1974, Emma Barrientos said it took her three days to swallow the news because the family was financially strapped, according to a 2002 oral history recording at the Austin History Center. "We were constantly — our life seemed to be driven by things that we thought ... needed to be done, and we worked our finances out," she said in the recording. He won in 1974 and held that job until jumping to the Senate a decade later . He retired in 2007. In 1999 , Emma Barrientos served as the president of the Texas Senate Ladies Club, an organization of senators' wives. "He was a senator for a reason," said Fred Cantu , chairman of the Austin Tejano Democrats. "She was always making sure that things got done." The Travis County Democratic Party honored her earlier this year for her contribution over the decades to countless political campaigns. At the time of her death, Barrientos was helping plan next month's statewide nominating conference of the Tejano Democrats, of which the former senator is the chairman. She worked for Travis County for 30 years in various jobs, the last with Constable Bruce Elfant, before retiring in 2007. Gonzalo Barrientos said his wife died within a day of becoming ill. Early indications are that a staph infection near her heart led to cardiac arrest. She leaves behind her husband, five children and 10 grandchildren. A rosary service is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Mission Funeral Home, Serenity Chapel , 6204 S. First St. On Saturday, a 10 a.m. burial Mass will be celebrated at St. Ignatius, Martyr, Catholic Church , 126 W. Oltorf St. , followed by burial at the Texas State Cemetery.

Date/Time Submitted: 1154 hours From: Cindy and Bill Morse E-mail address: Subject: Merry Christmas! Categories: Comments: The near total lack of regard for the Christmas holiday and the lack of community during this season due to the Austin City Council's perception of the need for political correctness is appalling. Whether you like it or not, this is Christmas time, a celebration of Christ. It's printed on every calendar and has been celebrated for hundreds of years. It should not be a surprise to anyone. It should not be anything that needs to be disguised or changed into some generic "unoffensive holiday" celebration. People of other faiths are not asked to change the names or practices of their holidays and Christians should not be subject to this either. As Christians, we welcome and honor and respect everybody's right to practice their faith and celebrate their special holidays as they deem appropriate. We would like the same consideration in return. On a separate note, we've noticed that the things that make Austin unique are apparently not worth the time or money to continue anymore. The Trail of Lights, which has in the past been a huge family/community/tourist event, has been reduced to a shadow of its former self--a joke that doesn't even run through Christmas week. And of course, there's no parking, as is always the case in Austin. Oh, and that "holiday tree" that's in Zilker Park....looks a lot like a Christmas tree to us. Our Christmas wish is that each of you would grow a pair and start representing the ENTIRE city and community which is Austin and stop with your political manipulation of our holiday. Stop diluting the sanctity of Christmas. Sincerely, Cindy and Bill Morse From: Martinez, Mike [Council Member] To: Scott Sayers"; Leffingwell, Lee Cc: Williamson, Laura; Williams, Nancy; Garza, Bobby Subject: RE: Re. Nueces Bicycle Blvd. Date: Tuesday, December 29, 2009 11:00:57 AM Scotty, We were trying to get that meeting set with Mayor Leffingwell and I.
