14 community latinos and only two corporations provided the $12,000 in total awards. This is an encouraging trend because back during the 1980’s the entire scholarship support was by local businesses. Is this indicative of a transition in the local latino community? I hope so because if those assisted by the american GI Forum scholarship Foundation, Inc. (est. 1974) were to contribute by mail only $100 per year, the total would be $100 x 1,600 past recipients, which would amount to $160,000 (assuming 100% participation).

This is a very good trend because it lets our latino students know that their own community is really supportive of their continuing education.

It is time for parents. school staff, especially counselors to encourage latino youth who show an interest in sTEaM to develop that interest with acquired information, knowledge and experience.

The past ‘farmworker’ profiles no longer apply though there are many who consider Mexican braceros to be very suited to stop labor farm work (i.e., campesinos).

We are capable of more than farm and services labor.

Today access to money is often a factor. Money is your license to perform, produce, and consume. It may be borrowed, which involves an interest rate (the rental cost of loans). be very careful with ‘student loans’ because the best terms are provided by

the Federal Government and many foundations. Try to find ones wherein the loan is forgiven if you agree to serve in an ‘underserved area’. and do evaluate the prevailing income of the career you undertake. lEarN TO KNOW yOUr WOrTH IN THE labOr MaKETPlaCE. The U.s. department of labor publishes average annual salaries for many jobs. Go to a business library. It is a good idea to do this before you go to a job interview. Know what annual wage level your profession may command.

Take a personal business approach to ‘going to college. To do what you propose to do, project your plans five years into the future. Estimate your total income and expenses. learn to be a good steward of your personal business. learn that your assets, both tangible and intangible, minus the debts incurred determine your net worth. This effort will inform you about the cash flow you will need. you need to prepare yourself for payment of tuition, fees, books, room and board, clothing, travel, health insurance and some recreation. Going to college allows you appreciate how protected from financial concerns you were by your parents as they ‘raised you’. learn the definition of a contract; to negotiate; to ask questions which, when answered, provide you with the information you need to make reasonable informed decisions in your own interests. Know that your future professional degree is an ‘intangible asset’ whose future value is based on knowledge and skills learned. by accepting this scholarship aid, you are entering into a moral obligation to ‘give forward into the future’.

This means that in your fu-

ture, you will volunteer to be a mentor, advisor, counselor, and role model to an aspiring person. When you earn more than $50,000 per year, plan to contribute $100 per year for ten years to a local scholarship foundation such as the sJ GI Forum scholarship Foundation, Inc. return to the community the assistance you were provided. look around on the job to see who is the decision maker; get that person to be your mentor and role model.

WHy? because it is decision makers who change society and commerce by undertaking one of several proposals, and deciding to implement that one with staffing, equipment, and funding. and that is how things get changed.

Keep in touch to help your extended family continue to be proud of you and to know how you are progressing in your life’s journey. develop your ability to communicate precisely and effectively in both English and spanish languages. Understand that English is the language of science, technology, business and our government in america. However your spanish language connects you to your historical heritage, its culture, values, and therefore your identity as a latino. The latinos experience is rich and has contributed much to the current modern era through its diversity, music, and joyful lifestyle.

Richard Santos saNTa Clara vallEy WaTEr dIsTrICT On July 29, the National drought Mitigation Center released its newest map, showing that 58 percent of California is now in exceptional drought conditions, the most severe level. It’s the first time more than half of California has been under this level of drought since the reports began in the late 1990s.

This is truly an extraordinary drought, and the santa Clara valley Water district has taken extraordinary actions every step of the way to ensure our region preserves enough drinking water resources to sustain us through the year and possibly another critically dry one next year.

In January, just a week after Governor brown proclaimed a drought emergency, the water district board called for a countywide water use reduction of 10 percent. as the dry winter continued and conditions worsened, the board called for a 20 percent water use reduction on Feb. 25. We called upon all water providers (cities, the county and retail water companies) to implement mandatory measures, as necessary, to reach this target.

We also formed a water conservation ad hoc board committee to discuss measures needed to meet the water use reduction target and make policy recommendations to the full board. I also participate in our longstanding landscaping and water recycling ad hoc committees, which are also helping to ensure we are addressing the latest drought related information.

The water district has been walking the talk. Water use at our own facilities is down by 29 percent between February and June from 2013 use.

We achieved this primarily by setting irrigation controllers to reduce programmed water

use by 20 percent, shutting off water for landscaping where possible and minimizing it elsewhere. staff has checked for leaks and reduced car washing.

In late July, the district announced a new phase of its media campaign. The “brown is the New Green” campaign includes ads on radio, cable television, on-line, billboards, buses and banners at sporting events. The $460,000 multi-lingual ad campaign includes the distribution of free brown is the New Green lawn signs to encourage residents to show off their brown lawns and to encourage others to follow suit. Water collection buckets are also part of the campaign, to encourage residents to capture cold water from the shower while it’s warming up for use in the yard or to flush a toilet.

While we knew that it would take local water providers several weeks for water restriction measures to be put into place and communicated residents and businesses, the results through June have not come close to reaching the 20 percent target. as a result, the board of directors in July approved up to $500,000 to hire a team of water waste inspectors to help identify wasteful water use. This team will help educate residents

and businesses on what local water restrictions are in place, refer them to any appropriate services, such as our Water Wise House Calls program, and if necessary, refer them to their local water provider, which could issue warnings or fines.

Paradoxically, the drought affords the water district with some opportunities as well.

With many groundwater recharge ponds now dry, we are able to conduct much-needed maintenance. by removing sediment in these ponds, they will be far more effective in their groundwater replenishment capacity, once the rains return. We are also advancing plans to expand recycled water use in our county.

No one can predict what next winter will bring. We cannot count on El Niño conditions bringing us more rain.

We must prepare for the possibility of yet another dry year. by saving water now, we can avoid even more burdensome water use restrictions in the future. Until the drought is over, we will continue to take prudent actions to manage our diminishing water supplies.

Please remember to use water wisely. www.valleywater. org/drought2014

Veronica T. Avendaño El Observador The state set a new record for the longest consecutive days without rainfall with 51 days in a row, “This is the driest three years in a row in recorded history in California,” said California Natural Resources Secretary John Laird. The previously held record dates back to 1884 and again in 1924.

“A year ago, in January, Cal Fire, which is in my responsibility, responded to zero significant fires within the state,” said Laird. By contrast, “This year, in January, they responded to 473.” Laid said two fires were also reported in Humboldt County, “arguably the wettest place in the state.”

Earlier this year, Governor Jerry Brown addressed the state asking for a voluntary 20 percent water use reduction. Water districts are now implementing fines or raising the price of extra gallons used.

At a local level, Santa Clara Valley Water District, a water wholesaler launched a new campaign, “Brown is the New Green,” to encourage residents to reduce their outdoor watering by letting lawns turn a little brown.

Spokesman Marty Grimes said the public reception is positive, “People are looking for something more that they can do, they are seeing that other people are not taking those steps so they want to encourage their neighbors to do the same thing.” Grimes

said residents are asking for campaign signs for businesses and households to spread awareness. He added that most people water their lawns more than needed.

Laird said on average, 70 percent of water use is done outside.

“The key thing is that people just need to pull back on habits that were not efficient,” said Laird. “Governments can do all they want, it’s the 38 million individual Californians making their decisions each day that really decide how much water we use.”

In January, the state released its “Water Action Plan” detailing plans to manage water resources. Laird said the plan covers restoring wet-

lands to desalting-removing the salt from seawater. Most importantly, said Laird, the plan includes “conservation as a way of life, even when there is not a drought.” “We can’t assume it’s going to a rainy season next year. We have to be ready for doing this again next year if we don’t have a wet winter,” said Laird who also mentioned Australia’s ten year long drought.

Last year, the Bay Delta Conservation Plan was released to be followed by an almost 8 month public comment period. The plan, created after a seven year research period, outlines 22 conservation measures “restore the habitat, and make it a reliable source of water,” said Laird.

Veronica T. Avendaño El ObsErvadOr Gone are the long summer days that these youth spend in front of a television, instead of watching television, youth across san Jose are creating their own digital arts media on the other side of the television set. dozens of underserved students are learning the art of digital media and receiving a chance to learn skills in photography, music, and film production at the digital arts program ran by the city’s department of recreation and Neighborhood services (PrNs) at three city community centers.

“The whole goal is create with purpose, so that there is meaning and message behind the projects, it depends on the art that they are interested in, it could be a song, it could be just producing a beat, photography, short films, we do a lot of spoken word and performance drills,” said PrsN supervisor Phillip solis. “These students come from at-risk backgrounds and they have powerful stories and it’s just really inspiring to see them be successful in art.” after success with students in the 13-18 age range, the program launched a youth summer camp pilot program to serve elementary age students. The program has also expanded to serve an

AUGUST 8-14, 2014

older crowd, seniors, to help teach them to create digital memoirs to share with their family. solis said the centers digital media is open to serve the community, though the focus is youth.

“This program is life changing for not only the mentees but the mentors, you learn more when you teach and when you learn what someone teaches, that amount of growth is not just beneficial for our city but everyone around us, it’s very liberating to our spirit a a community,” added albert lutz-Paap, music media mentor.

The program launched in 2011 has already produced success stories. andrew vicente, better known as amplified, got his start at seven Trees Community Center. Hip-hop artist vicente toured this summer in the 2014 vans Warped Tour, across 44 cities. “students even come in with ideas for songs, or they come in with nothing, just an interest in music. We show them different aspects that are available to them and we just expose them to everything possible and we’ll let them decide,” said ronnie Patania, a music studio director for the program.

Other seven Trees success, comes for student yvan Gonzalez. Gonzalez created the music video, “Patience,”

as a homage to his late older brother. The video won first place in adobe’s nationwide youth voices competition.

“We didn’t know what we were creating. We didn’t know it was suddenly going to become a global sensation, that would be the first project that I cherished,” said creative director Marlo Custodio. Custodio said through the program adult community members have the opportunity to see “what they deal with at home, what they deal with in the foster care system, see what they deal with in the everyday struggle of their lives.”

With a small team of five, serving sometimes more than 500 students across seven Trees, roosevelt and Mayfair community centers, solis said program funding is an issue. “Our biggest issue is some type of sustainable funding source, since the city has gone through so many cutbacks in the last few years. We’ve taken the biggest hit on the operational side, and so we’re really looking to collaborate with other agencies or other corporate sponsorships.” The cutbacks were almost half of PrNs operational budget for the next ten years.

For the future, the program hopes to become a feeder program for local media and arts programs at universities.

Jason Alderman Practical Money Seguramente ya ha oído hablar de las tres grandes agencias de informes crediticios (Equifax, Experian y TransUnion), que monitorean su historial financiero y emiten informes y calificaciones crediticias a los potenciales prestamistas. Pero, ¿sabía que hay decenas de otras agencias de informes especializados que rastrean su historial en busca de actividades que pueden no aparecer en sus informes crediticios habituales, como cheques rebotados, pagos de servicios atrasados, reclamos de seguro y órdenes de prescripciones?

La mayoría de las personas no conocen de la existencia de estas agencias hasta que, repentinamente, son rechazados al querer alquilar un departamento, abrir una cuenta corriente, adquirir una póliza de seguro o incluso conseguir un empleo o una promoción laboral. Pero debe saber que los potenciales propietarios, bancos, compañías de seguro y empleadores suelen solicitar informes especializados a estas agencias para evaluar mejor el riesgo de hacer negocios con usted.

Si usted tiene un historial limpio y transparente, no hay problema pero, ¿y si sus registros tienen errores o, lo que es peor, si alguien ha usurpado su identidad y está ensuciando su historial con conductas incorrectas?

Afortunadamente, hay una solución. Bajo la ley federal, usted puede solicitar una copia de su informe a cada agencia una vez al año, generalmente en forma gratuita.

También tiene derecho a ob-

tener una copia gratuita cada vez que se tome una “medida adversa” en su contra por algo que aparezca en el informe. (Por ejemplo, si no le permiten abrir una cuenta corriente).

Desafortunadamente, no hay una casa central para estas agencias de informes especializados por lo que tendrá que contactarse con cada una de ellas por separado. No obstante, la Oficina de Protección Financiera del Consumidor ha logrado alivianar este trabajo recopilando una lista con las agencias más utilizadas, junto con instrucciones e información de contacto para solicitar los informes. (Busque “Specialty Consumer Agencies” en www.cfpb.gov.) Otro recurso útil es la información sobre los informes especializados que ofrece Privacy Rights Clearinghouse en su página web www.privacyrights.org.

Las agencias de informes especializados recolectan información suya de diversas fuentes y la comparten con acreedores y otras empresas.

Esta información puede incluir:

• Registros públicos de cau-

sas penales y civiles • Historial crediticio • Presentaciones de quiebras • Compañías con las que tenga o haya tenido alguna relación • Información médica • Registros de conducción

Las consultas que se suelen hacer son: • Historial de cheques librados – para bancos, cooperativas de crédito y empresas que acepten pagos con cheque.

Buscan cheques rebotados o devueltos y estafas.

• Estado de salud e historial de medicamentos receta-

dos –si está solicitando una póliza de seguro de vida individual, de atención médica a largo plazo o de discapacidad. (Nota: Las aseguradoras de salud no pueden denegar la cobertura ni cobrar primas más altas por enfermedades o condiciones preexistentes.)

• Residencial –propietarios que verifican sus antecedentes como inquilino, su historial crediticio, sus antecedentes penales, etc.

• Seguro automotor o del propietario/inquilino –las aseguradoras verificarán si tiene infracciones de tránsito, reclamos y siniestros.

• Préstamos contra el sueldo –los acreedores que investigan a las personas que no utilizan los servicios financieros tradicionales (bancos, tarjetas de crédito, etc.) podrían evaluar los préstamos contra el sueldo, servicios de cambio de cheques, tarjetas prepagas, etc.

• Servicios –Si está intentando solicitar un servicio nuevo, como teléfono, cable o internet.

• Antecedentes laborales –Por ley, los empleadores deben tener su permiso para verificar sus antecedentes laborales. Lamentablemente, no siempre están obligados a identificar qué compañía utilizan a menos que decidan no contratarlo. Por eso, no sería malo averiguarlo antes.

Debe saber que cuando usted objeta algún dato de sus informes, las agencias están legalmente obligadas a investigar y corregir toda la información incorrecta o desactualizada. Además, deben mantenerlo informado sobre el estado de la solicitud para ver el informe. No obstante, no hay un límite de tiempo para el procesamiento de su solicitud.

Small-business owners have something to be optimistic about, according to a recent study, which found that 84 percent of small-business leaders say they’re either maintaining or growing sales in 2014.

This is continued good news for the future of the economy, as small businesses make up the vast majority of companies in the U.S.—96 percent, according to the Small Business Administration.

Notably, small businesses hired at a slower pace than medium-size and large companies last year, 12 percent changed employee hours from full- to part-time, and 34 percent gave smaller raises than in previous years.

Although 57 percent of employees say they’re likely to accept a job with slightly lower compensation but better benefits, the data suggests that although employees may be perfectly content with their jobs, better benefits could entice them to seek employment elsewhere.

These simple benefitsrelated tips can help smallbusiness owners cultivate a productive workforce while keeping employees happy: 1. Maintain benefits offerings. According to the study, more than one-third of small-business employees said maintaining health care benefits is their most important benefits concern right now.

2. Diversify benefits offerings so employees can fill in gaps in coverage. Voluntary insurance is a great way for small businesses to boost current offerings at no direct cost to the company. In fact, 85 percent of small-business

Maintaining the benefits that are already offered can go a long way in keeping employees in their jobs.

employees consider voluntary insurance part of a comprehensive benefits program.

3. Communicate about benefits options. Employees appreciate face-to-face meetings when it’s related to new or changing benefits and small businesses do that better than their medium and large counterparts. Sixtyeight percent of small businesses communicate face-to-

face while me­dium and large companies prefer e-mail.

4. Consider insurance broker or agent assistance when it comes to understanding health care reform. Smallbusiness owners are less likely than medium and large companies to feel extremely or very prepared to address changes to the health care system this year.

SAN JOSE POLICE DEPARTMENT New Driving Licenses Scams targeting the Immigrant Community The San José Police Department wants to warn the community on scams targeting victims that want to obtain a California driver license for non documented drivers.

Several other states have issued driving licenses to the non documented drivers and now with the passing of AB 60, California will be issuing licenses. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is not issuing licenses until Jan 1, 2015.

Beware of the Scams:

1. Some criminals are asking for up to $1,000 each person to obtain a legal license.

2. Beware of agents claiming that they can help you by paying a fee. Some criminals are posing as DMV personnel, and lawyers with licenses. These imposters are illegally charging for services and licenses.

3. Beware of false DMV websites or “How to get a California license” web pages. The official website is www.dmv. ca.gov.

4. Criminals are selling false documents to prove birth dates, and residency to present to the Department Motor Vehicle.

5. If you are a victim or know of anyone who is criminally involved please call 911 or contact Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-STOP.

How to obtain a license:

1. Written Test: Pass a 36 question test. You can prepare and study the California Driver Handbook which is available in ten languages. www.dmv. ca.gov 2. Take Practice Test: Sample tests can be found on the DMV website.

3. Proper documents: Prepare all your documents to demonstrate the Department of Motor Vehicle when applying for your license that proves your residency and verify your identity.

4. Make an Appoint for your license test. Can make a appoint on line or call DMV customer service at (800) 777-0133 For more information on Crime Prevention tips please visit www.sjpd.org

La actividad física no es lo primero que los padres o los maestros piensan cuando quieren aumentar el rendimiento académico de un niño, pero evidencia apoya la idea de que un poco de ejercicio para el cuerpo es beneficioso para el cerebro también.

“Una vida sedentaria y los malos hábitos alimenticios pueden reducir el rendimiento de los niños en la escuela y comienza un ciclo de problemas de salud más adelante en la vida”, dice Kathleen Tullie, Fundadora y Directora Ejecutiva de Build Our Kids’ Sucess y directora de Responsabilidad Social para Reebok. “En pocas palabras, un cuerpo sano y un cerebro sano van de la mano.”

Así que ¿cómo se puede incorporar hábitos más saludables en la rutina de su familia?

• Fines de semana activos: En lugar de un sábado o domingo perezoso, salga a la calle y empiece a moverse. Lleve una pelota de fútbol al parque para un juego de pick-up o camine un sendero local. Hacer ejercicio los fines de semana es un hábito regular de su familia, y esos hábitos se extenderán al resto de la semana también.

• El combustible durante todo el día: Un buen desayuno prepara a los hijos para un gran día. Siga con un almuerzo y aperitivos saludables como nueces y frutas saludables para ayudar a los niños a evitar los

escollos de las máquinas de comida chatarra.

los niños reciban una noche completa de descanso.

• Cocinar juntos: “Takeout” es muy cómodo cuando está limitado de tiempo, pero asegúrese de cocinar en casa por lo menos un par de veces a la semana. Las comidas hechas en casa no solamente son la única manera que usted puede estar segura exactamente de lo que usted está alimentando a su familia, sino también el acto de cocinar juntos es una gran oportunidad para impartir algunas lecciones acerca de la nutrición y comer bien.

• Mantenga a su escuela involucrada: Los niños deben tener una hora o más de actividad física diaria, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades. Por desgracia, la clase de educación física puede no ser suficiente.

Investigue qué otras oportunidades tiene la escuela de su hijo para la actividad física.

• El tiempo de cama: El sueño adecuado es crucial para una mente y un cuerpo sano y funcional. Establecer un horario regular para dormir, es la mejor manera de asegurarse que

Keeping Your Life’s Goals Alive and Well American Counseling Association We’ve all had dreams and goals in our younger years that seemed essential to our happiness, yet, for many of those dreams, we just never quite achieved them.

This doesn’t necessarily mean we’re unhappy with our current lives, but at some level we still may feel slightly frustrated or disappointed about those missed goals.

While there’s no magic way to make all your dreams come true, you can take action to get closer to your life’s goals and lessen those feelings of frustration.

Start by putting the past behind you. Unresolved anger and resentment over things that didn’t work out uses up energy but accomplishes nothing. Instead, you need to

begin managing your daily life so that it reflects who you are and what you value today.

Start by evaluating your old dreams and goals. There is, for example, no “ideal” romantic relationship or “perfect” mate. But there can be someone who can accept and care about the real you, and who is able to get things right more often than wrong. Similarly, there’s no perfect job but there are work situations that can challenge you and provide a real sense of accomplishment.

Knowing yourself is vital to feeling more fulfilled. Identify your personal strengths and interests, and then put time and energy into nourishing them. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Whatever you do well, do it frequently and proudly and you’ll find that rewards will follow. To achieve specific goals, it’s vital to take action toward them,

rather than simply dreaming about them and waiting for something to happen. Small steps in the right direction make a difference -- maybe a first phone call, rewriting your resume, or taking a class.

Reaching the end result we want only will happen only if we take that first step.

You also want balance in your life. Saying “no” to excessive demands on your time, talent or goodwill will allow you time for the things you really want to do, without the resentment and anger that comes from agreeing to what you really don’t want to do.

Reaching your life’s goals means that you stop letting old beliefs and others’ ideas define who you are and what you have to do. Instead, accept that you, and only you, can take action to reach the dreams and goals that really matter to you.

Los hábitos saludables no sólo reducen el riesgo de problemas como la obesidad, la diabetes y las enfermedades del corazón, también pueden ayudar a los niños de primaria para un mayor éxito en el aula y fuera de ella. Así que a dar a sus hijos una ventaja y animarles a ponerse en movimiento.

family matters. The issues are explored while considering various ways to address the challenge.

Cinthia Rodriguez El Observador With school just around the corner, staff members along with the director of Somos Mayfair are gearing up for their continuous work, collaborating with parents to promote literacy and education.

The non-profit organization well known for working with an immigrant community in East San Jose is in their 16th year. Executive Director for the past three months, Camille Llanes-Fontanilla, has some goals of her own for the organization.

“One goal of mine is to make sure that we become very known for our core leadership development,” said LlanesFontanilla.

Somos Mayfair offers ongoing training, promotes extensive peer mentorship, and most importantly, provides leadership development training to its community members.

This September will mark Llanes-Fontanilla’s fourth year with Somos Mayfair. As the executive director, her job is to oversee the financial health and program implementation of the organization. She makes sure the vision and mission of the May-

“There’s something different about this place, like the depth of relationship with the community members here is far deeper than I’ve ever seen at any other place,” said Llanes-Fontanilla. “There’s just a different level of mutual respect.”

Kit Miller, Orchard House Foundation, and Camille LlanesFontanilla talk during a tour at Cesar Chavez Elemntary.

fair community is being met through the work.

Somos Mayfair prides itself in building trust in their relationships with community members. They provide the support in the individual’s leadership journey and as a whole. Their work includes parent engagement, policy change at the school district level in Alum Rock School District (ARSD) and county.

“I think at the end of the day, the best thing about our work here at Somos is to be able to see the deep level of connection and relationship we have with this community,” said Llanes-Fontanilla.

The organization coordinates and helps host a series of parent workshops. The work-

shops are framed around having parents understand the educational system, their role as parents in the home to promote literacy and education.

There’s a parent workshop on positive parenting that goes over the kinds of skills needed to demonstrate an interest in their children’s education, being supportive, and really promoting social emotional growth in their children.

Somos Mayfair also does a lot of work in the homes of Mayfair. The community is split up in different zones, each with their own ‘promotora’ (leader). Parents organize and meet every other week where they discuss whatever issues they are facing in the school system or

In the last two years, a lot of the work has been focused on Cesar Chavez Elementary School and the families there as well as ARSD. Somos Mayfair has a parent organizing committee ‘empuje’ (push). They work on identifying policy issues at the school school district level.

This year, they worked on a language access and translation policy for ARSD. Families weren’t getting access to proper interpretation and translation services so the

fair, Llanes-Fontanilla was the director of development and communications at Kidango, another non-profit that serves a similar population, based out of Fremont.

Eventually she wanted to do work in the area she grew up in.

“We’re seen as a very strong Latino serving community organization,” said LlanesFontanilla. “We have a strong ability to train promotoras in this community, to lead peer mentor work, so that other community members can get engaged because it makes a way bigger difference for another parent to talk to them about the work they are doing.”

Llanes-Fontanilla’s family immigrated from the northern part of the Philippines in the 70s and 80s. Her grandparents lived in Mayfair. She was born in San Jose and went to Mt. Pleasant High School. She understands Spanish fluently although she doesn’t speak it.

Llanes-Fontanilla also makes sure there’s a strong board. Currently they have 8 members and are hoping to grow. She works with funders, government as well as foundations, corporations, and individual donors.

“We don’t see these people as clients or consumers of a service, we see our community members as partners in this work and we really believe that they have the capacity and the strength to drive change in this neighborhood,” said Llanes-Fontanilla.

Before joining Somos May-

Este mes de septiembre marcará el cuarto año de Llanes-Fontanilla con Somos Mayfair. Como directora ejecutiva, su trabajo consiste en supervisar la aplicación de la salud y el programa financiero de la organización.

Ella se asegura que la visión y misión de la comunidad de Mayfair se esta cumpliendo a través del trabajo.

“Creo que al final del día, lo mejor de nuestro trabajo aquí en Somos es ser capaz de ver el profundo nivel de conexión y relación que tenemos con esta comunidad”, dijo Llanes-Fontanilla.

Somos Mayfair también hace trabajo en las casas de Mayfair. La comunidad esta dividida en diferentes zonas, cada una con su propia ‘promotora’. Los padres se organizan y se reúnen cada

otra semana donde discuten temas ya sea del sistema escolar o asuntos familiares.

Antes de unirse a Somos Mayfair, Llanes-Fontanilla fue la directora de desarrollo y comunicaciones de Kidango, otra organización sin fines de lucro que sirve a una población similar, con sede en Fremont. Eventualmente, ella quería hacer trabajo en la zona donde creció.

“No vemos a estas personas como clientes o consumidores de un servicio, vemos a nuestros miembros de la comunidad como socios en este trabajo y realmente creo que tienen la capacidad y la fuerza para impulsar el cambio en este barrio”, dijo LlanesFontanilla.

San Jose CALIFORNIA San Jose Jazz continues to roll out stellar artists set to perform at the 25th anniversary Summer Fest 2014 taking place in and around Plaza de César Chavez Park in downtown San Jose, CA from Friday, Aug. 8 - Sunday, Aug. 10, 2014.

Silicon Valley’s premier annual music event, the 25th Annual San Jose Jazz Summer Fest 2014 announces the addition of numerous heavyweight performers, including NYC’s leading souljazz pianist Kris Bowers appearing on the Jazz Beyond Stage; Bay Area favorite Ledisi on the Kaiser Permanente Main Stage; “Salute to Armando Peraza” featuring The Poncho Sanchez Band and special guests on the Main Stage; two exclusive label showcases featuring artists from the celebrated San Jose-born Stones Throw Records (Jazz Beyond Stage) and Harlem’s innovative Motéma Music (Cafe Stritch Stage), and much more!

Nationally recognized as one of the biggest Latin festivals in the country, San Jose Jazz extends its longstanding commitment of presenting the very best Latin music throughout Summer Fest 2014’s numerous stages, including the Kaiser Permanente Main Stage, Blackbird Tavern Stage, Salsa Stage, YP Gordon Biersch Stage, and others. As California boasts the largest Latino popula-

tion in the US, Summer Fest 2014 marks the evolution of an iconic festival with Latin roots at the heart of its identity. Today, San Jose Jazz also announces newly confirmed Latin artists, including The Poncho Sanchez Band paying tribute to percussionist Armando Peraza (George Shearing, Cal Tjader, Santana) with an all-star band featuring guest artists John Santos, Pete Escovedo, and Emil Richards.

Legendary percussionist Armando Peraza was Cuban by birth, but called the Bay Area home for a majority of his life. Peraza came to the US alongside fellow Cuban music legends Mongo Santamaria and Celia Cruz.

While these fellow icons were embraced by East Coast fans, Peraza was renowned throughout California and the Bay Area. Jazz legends such as Stan Kenton, Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee made Peraza their first call percussionist, and his real contributions were from his recordings with George Shearing, Cal Tjader and Santana.

Even years after retiring, Peraza could be seen occasionally sitting in at Yoshi’s, hanging with his family at San Jose Jazz Summer Fest or haunting the percussion departments of B Street Music in San Mateo or Haight Ashbury Music in San Francisco.

For the first time in its history, the prominent music industry website jazzweek. com holds the annual Jazz-

Week Summit in San Jose, in conjunction with Summer Fest. On Aug. 7 & 8, jazz broadcasters, agents, artists and other jazz professionals from all over the country will gather at The Fairmont San Jose to discuss ways to program and promote jazz.

Many of the participants will stay on through the weekend to enjoy the Fest.

To commemorate the 25th festival season, San Jose Jazz releases a limited-edition commemorative book; a beautiful, keepsake volume highlighting the Fest’s past decades, present, and future. With archival photos and exclusive editorial content, the book showcases the non-profit’s commitment to education, performance, and community outreach.

Former San Jose Mercury News arts editor Charlie McCollum is editor of the book, and longtime festival photographers Andrew Nozaka and Walter & Marilyn Wagner provide historic, rarely seen images. Books will be available for purchase online starting mid-July 2014, and sold onsite at the Jazz Store at Summer Fest.

For more information on San Jose Jazz’s education and live music programs including Summer Jazz Camp, High School All Stars, San Jose Jazz Winter Fest, and its free weekly live music events including “Music at the Market” each Friday at San Pedro Square Market, please visit sanjosejazz.org.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk Many of us are looking to green our lifestyles today and this commitment to Mother Earth can also include how and where we travel. And those of us looking to take a vacation that benefits instead of harms the natural environment no longer have to travel to the ends of the Earth to do so. In the so-called “Lower 48,” many resorts and destinations work hard to minimize their impact on the environment.

One example is California’s Costanoa, where guests can use tented bungalows—safari-style canvas tents with hardwood floors, heaters and real beds with high threadcount sheets—as base camps for exploring the surrounding 30,000 acres of state parks and wildlife preserves. Grilling stations for cooking as well as bathrooms with showers are scattered around the grounds so guests can take care of worldly concerns. Interested guests should think ahead as the bungalows book up a year or more in advance.

GREEN LIVIING

AUGUST 8-14, 2014

In Washington State, ecotourists should check out the Rolling Huts, a series of small mobile cabins designed by modern architect Tom Kundig and situated in a field alongside the rushing Methow River amid one of the nation’s best networks of cross-country ski and mountain biking trails. The “huts” sleep up to four and are heated with wood-burning fireplaces, while the adjacent restaurant Kelly’s serves up local organic fare with panache.

If you aren’t lucky enough to score one of the six huts, you can always rough it in the canvas platform tents down a footpath and a world away from the everyday hubbub.

If a more refined form of green is your thing, try San Francisco’s Orchard Garden Hotel, designed from the ground up to qualify for the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) status. Among other green touches, the hotel’s guestrooms feature keycardbased energy control system, eco-friendly bath products, and decor utilizing natural woods and fabrics.

Another option is the Rock Harbor Lodge on remote Isle Royale on Michigan’s Lake Superior. Accessible by boat or seaplane only, the lodge offers direct access to the 893 square-mile island wilderness that is America’s least visited national park—where wolves, moose, loons, beaver, fox and other wildlife rule. The lodge rents boats, kayaks and canoes and offers guided fishing and sightseeing tours. Given its northerly location and lack of light pollution, the lodge also serves up free viewing of the Northern Lights.

For another type of domestic eco-travel experience, sign up for a trip with Earthwatch, a nonprofit that sends citizen-

scientists on environmental research trips with leading scientists. Some of the group’s upcoming Lower 48 trips include exploring Boston’s urban forest, researching the causes and effects of rising tides in South Carolina and uncovering the mysteries of ancient Colorado.

Of course, there are many other ways to indulge in ecotravel without leaving the continental U.S. A simple Internet search for eco-travel and a specific region will surely yield plenty of worthy options for places to go to get away from that computer screen and interact directly with the natural world.

Especies invasivas causan serios daños y pérdidas Las especies invasivas – insectos, plantas y otros organismos- tienen un impacto negativo en la ecología, biodiversidad, economía y hasta en la salud. En la agricultura, pueden causar serios estragos y cuantiosas pérdidas. En California se estima que las pérdidas a causa de especies invasoras ascienden a 3 mil millones de dólares por año.

“Aquí en California, estamos viendo más y más de estas especies no nativas y muy perjudiciales; y no solo son insectos, son además malezas y patógenos. Estas especies están afectando todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas, desde la

conservación de las especies nativas, hasta la agricultura y la salud pública”, indicó Matt Daugherty, entomólogo de Extensión Cooperativa en el plantel de la Universidad de California en Riverside.

Cada año se establecen en California seis nuevas especies invasivas. El clima y la geografía tan singular del Estado Dorado proporcionan una diversidad de ecosistemas idóneos para el establecimiento de una gran variedad de plagas, pero además por ser un estado fronterizo, con un acelerado movimiento de mercancías y personas que facilitan su introducción. ¿Por qué son un problema las plagas invasoras? El pro-

blema radica en que las plagas invasivas destruyen poco a poco el ecosistema, causan enfermedades, destrucción y, en algunos casos, la muerte de árboles nativos como es el caso con los robles y pinos que han experimentado daños muy severos por parte de insectos y enfermedades invasoras.

Daugherty, cita tres ejemplos de especies invasivas que mantienen preocupada a la comunidad científica: •El Mosquito del Nilo Occidental el cual transmite una enfermedad que puede ser mortal. El virus se propaga cuando un mosquito pica a un ave infectada y luego pica a una persona.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com (Notimex) El juvenil actor y cantante Diego Amozurrutia Torres Landa promociona su segundo sencillo “Sin miedo”, que se desprende de su álbum debut como solista que saldrá para finales de este año.

En entrevista con Notimex, Amozurrutia señaló que está enfocado a que su propuesta “tenga un mensaje y que sea honesta, más que pensar en la fama o éxito que pudiera obtener”.

Lanzará su álbum debut con ritmos de pop, R&B, hip hop y electro pop

Recordó que su inquietud por la música ha sido desde siempre: “De hecho yo empecé a cantar en ´Cómplices al rescate´, estuve en la agrupación conocida como Bu-

(Notimex) La actriz Sara Manni dijo que se siente convencida que con la nueva versión de la película “Más negro que la noche”, sí se puede hacer un buen cine de terror en México.

“Todo el equipo quedó satisfecho con el resultado del proyecto, estamos emocionados. Nos quedó claro que se puede hacer buen cine de terror, la producción y actuación son increíbles”, detalló la actriz, en entrevista con Notimex.

Asimismo, añadió que debido a la buena relación de los productores con distribuidoras a nivel mundial, la película podrá llegar a salas de exhibición de Estados Unidos en septiembre próximo, y después a países como Rusia y Japón.

“Me parece maravilloso que se distribuya a nivel internacional porque tanto el público de otros países podrá disfrutar del cine mexicano de terror, y nosotros como artistas salimos ganando ya que nos damos a conocer y de esta forma se crea empleo para los actores”, mencionó.

En cuanto a su personaje, la

Sobre su disco, indicó que tendrá una base de pop, R&B, hip hop y electro pop, éste último idóneo para los centros nocturnos y antros: “Quiero llegarle a todos los sectores de la sociedad”.

El actor agregó que en el terreno de la actuación tiene ofertas de cine y de televisión, pero está enfocado en el disco: “Estoy bien con Televisa y no existe veto alguno, a pesar de que he tenido la oferta de otras televisoras; en México es el único país donde existe este concepto del veto, en otros lugares mientras más

trabajes más oportunidades tienes”.

Puntualizó que desea que el público lo reconozca por su estrega, pues se considera productor, bailarín, compositor y cantante: “Estoy contento con esto y creo que la gente me conocerá en mil facetas, el disco estará para finales de 2014, de manera independiente, el primer sencillo ya se soltó ´Duele perderte´ y el segundo es ´Sin miedo´”.

El actor, quien ha participado en el programa “La rosa de Guadalupe” y en la película “Divina confusión”, mencionó que hasta el momento no tiene el título del material discográfico, mientras no haya una fecha exacta para su lanzamiento.

joven resaltó que interpreta a la mala de la historia, quien desatará el terror en las cuatro chicas, incluida su sobrina.

“Mi personaje se llama ‘Ofelia’, aparezco en el ‘flashback’ de la historia y hago ese papel pero cuando es joven”, precisó.

Manni comentó que la respuesta del público en los festivales donde se ha proyectado el filme ha sido excelente, “el objetivo se está cumpliendo, sí ha generado terror”.

Respecto a las diferencias entre la versión pasada y ésta, Sara destacó que a pesar de ser la misma, sí sufrió cambios que refrescarán la trama.

“Sé que mucha gente está casada con la versión anterior, pero también sé que muchos esperan ver este ‘remake’ y sobre todo porque ahora se podrá disfrutar en 3D”, abundó.

En cuanto a sus proyectos, la actriz aseguró que tiene ofertas para iniciar telenovela en Azteca, además de que protagonizará una película en Colombia.

* La actriz da vida a la tía “Ofelia” en la película “Más negro que la noche” “La cinta trata temas de corrupción y narcotráfico que suceden en Colombia, soy la única mexicana que participa, lo cual me enorgullece. También estoy probando diversos papeles como Tina Modotti o la diosa hindú Saraswati, para una nueva historia sobre la vida de Frida Kahlo, bajo la dirección de la irakí Ishtar Yasin”, puntualizó.

En tan sólo unas cuantas horas, la ciudad de Silverton queda devastada por una arremetida sin precedentes de los tornados más violentos que se han visto. La ciudad entera se encuentra a la merced de estos ciclones erráticos y mortíferos, y los cazadores de tormentas predicen que lo peor está aún por llegar. La mayoría de la gente busca refugio, mientras que otros corren hacia el vórtice, poniendo a prueba los límites a los que un cazador de tormentas llegaría para conseguir esa fotografía única.

Contada desde los distintos puntos de vista de cazadores de tormentas profesionales, amateurs en búsqueda de un golpe de adrenalina, y de los valientes habitantes de la ciudad, “Into the Storm” te avienta directamente al ojo de la tormenta para que experimentes a la Madre Naturaleza en su estado más extremo.

In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France.

Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it.

La ciudad necesita héroes. La oscuridad se ha instalado sobre Nueva York: Shredder y su malvado Foot Clan lo tienen todo bajo su férreo control, desde la policía hasta los políticos. El futuro es desalentador hasta que cuatro insólitos hermanos excluidos de la sociedad se alzan desde las alcantarillas y descubren su destino como los Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Las tortugas deberán trabajar con la intrépida reportera April O’Neil (Megan Fox) y su ocurrente camarógrafo Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) para salvar a la ciudad y desentrañar el diabólico plan de Shredder.

Para iniciar el ritual se aconseja estar muy relajado, hacer una meditación profunda y rezar sus oraciones preferidas, puede utilizar velas blancas o rojas de preferencia y quemar un poco de incienso de ámbar o almizcle. la concentración debe dirigirse directamente en un punto que está localizado entre el tercer ojo o chacra número seis y la chacra número siete o chacra del espíritu.

(Notimex) El delantero felino Emanuel Villa consideró que América y Tigres tienen calidad similar en sus equipos, pero dejó en claro que su equipo buscará el triunfo por los primeros lugares de la tabla general en el Torneo Apertura 2014.

“Son dos grandes ofensivas, ambos tienen buenos planteles, individualidades, creo que el que se va a llevar el partido será el que haga mejor las cosas en conjunto”.

Agregó que las Águilas “saben que somos un equipo muy poderoso, todos los que van a enfrentar a Tigres lo saben, pero una cosa es que lo piensen y otra que lo diga yo”.

Al término del entrenamiento de la escuadra en el estadio Universitario, el ata-

(Notimex) El presidente del Comité Olímpico Mexicano (COM), Carlos Padilla Becerra, aseguró que el que Nuevo León haya ganado la sede del Preolímpico Varonil de basquetbol es un logro importante en las aspiraciones para el Mundial de 2019.

“Es un tema que estuvimos analizando desde cuando peleamos la sede, siempre México estuvo muy cercano en serlo, por eso vino una comisión revisora de FIBA para ver la organización del centrobasket en Monterrey y se vio complacida tanto por la organización como por la afición”, dijo Padilla Becerra.

Indicó que FIBA Américas determinó, junto con la

CONADE y el COM que sea Monterrey, Nuevo León, la sede de este evento, por lo que ahora dependerá de un análisis si también se busca la sede del Mundial de la especialidad en 2019.

“La tenemos como posibilidad, pero sólo como intención, vamos a ver qué resultados tenemos con el Preolímpico y de ahí vamos a saber qué se hará, porque es un evento que requiere una gran organización, inversión y, desde luego, tener una columna vertebral que permita no gastar demasiado”, expuso.

Padilla Becerra comentó que ahora en el Congreso de la Federación Internacional, en España, se expondrá el tema para ver si es factible o

no tener las aspiraciones de organizar el evento.

“Alberto García –secretario de FIBA- ha hecho llegar a la internacional la intención, estamos en estudio junto con Jesús Mena, en Conade, y se tomará la decisión con el gobierno federal si es factible”, abundó.

En relación al preolímpico de basquetbol en Monterrey, el dirigente deportivo comentó que se programó al final de los Juegos Panamericanos de Toronto 2015.

Padilla Becerra acudió al abanderamiento a las selecciones nacionales a los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud en Nanjing y los mundiales de voleibol en Italia y Polonia.

cante dijo que sin duda el conjunto capitalino es uno de los grandes del futbol mexicano, por lo que una victoria será una inyección anímica para los de la UANL. Destacó que se enfrentarán al actual líder del torneo “que seguramente estará en liguilla, va a ser candidato al título

y para nosotros conseguir un buen resultado, nos dará la confianza”.

Villa dijo que el triunfo les permitiría acercarse a los primeros sitios de la clasificación general, por lo que lucharán al máximo por obtener los tres puntos este sábado en el estadio Universitario.

TlC activities are funded through generous grants from the Castellano Family Foundation, Inc., and the Comerica Foundation, Inc. since the inception of the group, the IPa and staff have proof-read numerous college essays, coached TlC members on college interviewing, provided ref-

erences for part-time jobs, written letters of recommendation, and connected TlC members with support staff at local colleges and universities.

TlC alumni have gone on to attend a wide range of colleges and universities, including the University of California berkeley, santa Clara University and de anza Community College, etc. TlC alumni often remain in contact with the IPa office, contributing their time to IPa outreach and attending TlC meetings during summers and other school breaks.
