School District Commits to Excellence

By Osvaldo Castillo - El Observador

uana Fernandez is a student at Fischer Middle School in San Jose. She came to the United States two years ago and did not know how to speak any English. “School was very difficult for me at first and my grades suffered,” Fernandez said. “But I worked hard, and with help from my teachers, my grades improved and I am looking forward to a positive future.” Fernandez will graduate from Fischer with honors and will be the first in her family to attend college. On Friday, June 5, members of the Alum

Rock Unified Elementary School District gathered at the Pala Middle School lawn in San Jose to make a public commitment to excellence within the district’s schools, and to ensure the public that Juana Fernandez will not be the district’s only success story. “Today is the start of a new era for Alum Rock Union Elementary School District,” said Jose L. Manzo, Board of Trustees, and Interim Superintendent for the school district. “We will work to enable all students to be more proficient and college bound within the next two years. Our community and our students deserve better and we are committed and focused.” Several members of the Alum Rock Union

Elementary School District including teachers, parents, students and the district’s management team joined Manzo. However, the community members acknowledge that this task will not be simple. “The standards have changed since the 70s. It is a much more challenging environment for teachers today,” said Board President Gustavo Gonzalez. “Parent involvement is needed. Parents need to help out teachers in order for students to succeed.” Norma Rodriguez, principle at Dorsa Middle School, was also present at the event. “We have our worked cut out for us but we believe that every child can succeed,” she said. “We are all stakeholders in this and we must convert all these challenges and barriers into opportunities. “ This past spring, the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District participated in several events to further the development of its students. Some of these events include; visits from elected officials Congressman Mike Honda and Superintendent Jack O’Connell, participating in the Cesar Chavez March and Assembly, and by sending kindergarteners on college visits. The district will next participate in the Annual Volunteer Recognition Jubilee on June 24 at the Mayfair Community Center.

¿Cómo mantener a sus hijos más seguros?

an Francisco, CA.- Estamos comenzando el mes de Junio, declarado por el Congreso de los Estados Unidos, como el mes de seguridad en el internet en el que se promueve el uso responsable y seguro de esta herramienta que ahora forma parte de nuestras vidas, y sobre todo de la vida de nuestros hijos. Common Sense Media, organización nacional no lucrativa con sede en San Francisco, California, tiene estos consejos para que usted ayude a que sus hijos estén más seguros cuando usan el internet: 1.- Hable con sus hijos: Dígales que no compartan información privada como dirección, edades y números telefónicos. Recomiende que no envíen fotos a extraños ni abran email de personas descononidas. Pidales que mantengan sus contraseñas o passwords secretas, y sólo la compartan con sus padres. 2.- Navegue de manera segura: Si sus hijos están en primaria, coloque filtros para prevenir que tengan acceso a páginas con contenidos inapropiados. Siempre, independientemente de la edad, supervise que páginas han visitado y qué están haciendo sus hijos cuando están conectados. 3.- Enseñeles a ser buenos ciudadanos digitales: Pidales que nunca hagan en el internet o con sus celulares lo que no harían en persona. Es decir que las mismas normas de cortesía y respeto que deben usar en su mundo real, lo deben aplicar en su vida virtual. Digales que si alguien hace comentarios negativos, hirientes o con contenido sexual se lo deben decir a un adulto inmediatamente. 4.- Es preferible tener la computadora ubicada en un lugar central de la casa, y no en las habitaciones de sus hijos. Es más dificil supervisarlos cuando tienen las computadoras dentro de sus habitaciones. 5.- Establezca limites en cuanto al tiempo que sus hijos estarán en el internet. Haga cumplir esos límites. Si desea obtener consejos más específicos de acuerdo a la edad de su hijo, visite www.mediosconsentidocomun.org

¡Cuidado por la vías del tren!

olo cruce por las pistas designadas a cruzar y cuando sea seguro hacerlo. Pro bablemente no sea la via más rápida pero es la más segura. Si usted no usa las zonas designadas usted estará cometiendo una violación y será sujeto a citación y una multa. Aunque crea que los trenes van despacio, Caltrain van a 79 millas por hora. A esa velocidad se puede cruzar la longitud de un estadio de fútbol en menos de tres segundos. Cuidado con un segundo tren. Entre San Francisco y San Jose, Caltrain opera en dos direcciones, con cuatro vias en ciertas locaciones. Cuando vea el último vagón de un tren que pasa, no cruce hasta que esté seguro de que los trenes no están llegando a cada pista. Un tren puede estar en un cruce en menos de un minuto. Es mejor perder un minuto en la vida que la vida en un minuto. Tenga en cuenta que Caltrain funciona en “modo empuje-jale”. La locomotora tira hacia el sur por lo general a los trenes. Sin embargo, en los trenes hacia el norte, el tren es “empujado” por detrás de la locomotora con un vehículo de pasajeros del tren. Los trenes pueden viajar en cualquier dirección. Más allá de su tamaño, los trenes pueden ser difíciles de escuchar especialmente cuando su modo operativo es jalar. Cuando esté en la estación con niños, manténgalos cerca a usted todo el tiempo. Cuando esté en la parada del tren, sea conscientes de que al acercarse los trenes no podrán detenerse en la estación y pueden pasar cerca de usted en 79 millas por hora. Cuando esté dispuesto a abordar un tren, párese detrás de la linea amarilla de seguridad y no cruce la plataforma central hasta que los trenes hayan parado. No se siente en el borde de la plataforma. Todos los trenes ocupan los carriles y requieren el espacio para operar. Nunca maneje en un cruce de ferrocarril hasta que esté seguro de que el tráfico ha dejado espacio suficiente para conducir sin dejarlo sin salida. No cambie la velocidad cuando cruce las pistas de tren. Si su vehículo se estancó en el cruce salgase de inmediato. Llame al 911 o 1.877.723.7245 para informar la situación. Vigilancia de Tránsito: Usted puede ayudar a mantener las vías seguras reportando situaciones peligrosas, como niños jugando en la vias o personas que se cuelgan a lo largo de la vía de ferrocarril. Llame al 1.877.723.7245 para informar situaciones peligrosas. Escuela de tránsito de autobúses y el transporte de pasajeros, así como camiones que transportaban materiales peligrosos, están obligados a parar en todos los cruces ferroviarios.

Dear Editor, Having read your latest edition of El Observador I was wondering if you are going to cover the child care aspect of the budget crisis. If the cuts go into effect as many believe they are then many Latino Families will be affected. Child care is essential to their future. Cuts of this magnitude would likely make the state’s situation worse, and would cause immeasurable harm to innocent dependent Latino children. The negative impact on individual children, communities and the economy if these cuts are adopted would simply be too great from both a human and economic perspective. The Governor proposes a 10 percent cut to Child Welfare Services and a 10 percent rate reduction for most foster caregivers. He also has proposed to eliminate the CalWORKs program outright. CalWORKs, in its own right, is a remarkably successful program. The number of people receiving assistance has been cut in half since CalWORKs started. Rather than being a burden on the General Fund, the TANF Block Grant has actually contributed more than $11 billion to non-CalWORKs state programs since its inception and has helped tens of thousands of Californians, many of them Latinos, enter the workforce. In today’s dire recessionary climate, counties are seeing increases in demand for CalWORKs, as devastated families seek help from a safety net that now threatens to drop them in their time of need. Eliminating CalWORKs would suck additional billions of dollars out of the economy, resulting in greater job loss and pushing the state from its current 11 percent unemployment rate to an estimated 11.8 percent. I encourage you to take a close look at how the proposed cuts would impact the Latino families, the children and the community. Gracias. Mario Del Castillo Editor’s Note: Hilbert Morales, Publisher, EO, is a member of the Mental Health Board, County of Santa Clara which is advisory to the Board of Supervisors and its Department of Mental Health (Nancy Peña, Head). This advisory group has been performing analysis of many program cuts. The ultimate solution will require having a State of California Constitutional Convention which produces an up-dated new constitution. Our elected official must transition from the present “broken system” which cannot be repaired by the use of propositions. The Governor, Senators and members of the State Assembly must go to a “pay as you go system”. Presently too many essential items can be blocked by a small number of the Assembly. The twothirds vote on budget matters needs to become ‘a majority vote”. Elected officials need to be held to account by the voters. Latinos need to register to vote, learn about the issues and vote for those who will make reasonable decisions when dealing with the people’s business. The influence of special interests and lobbyists must become open and available for public review. Also, special interests (i.e., unions and certain corporations) need to have their influence peddling exposed to all for review and comment. We need a more transluscent governing process that works. Since individuals paying income taxes are the source of the greatest volume of revenues, there is a need to know which members of the assembly are overly influenced by special interests and their lobbyists.

CHANGE INVOLVES ALL OF US By Hilbert Morales, EL OBSERVADOR

he San Jose City Council adopted a recommendation, which altered the manner by which the San Jose Police will deal with charges regarding public intoxication. The law currently used is not well defined, not specific enough and gave too much undefined authority to officers who in the moment were making decisions leading to charging an individual with public intoxication. It is also advisable to define more specifically the current law which applies to those individuals who are allegeding resisting arrest or interfering with a police action. Of great interest are those 4,000-plus public intoxication arrest records, which need to become a base of information. What prevents these records from being reviewed by the Independent Police Auditor for the purpose of learning more from this existing database? Under a general embargo, the IPA could perform a confidential analysis, which is not made public until authorized. This approach does not expose private information, which needs to remain confidential.

It also permits the IPA to report to this community the meaningful use of this database for improvement of current police practices. A report posted June 3rd by Eric Sherbert states that Council member Ash Kalra said, “A lot has to do with the building of trust with the community and the police department. I for one am eager to get to a place where we can start dealing with some of the issues the community members have, even if they are perceptions.” The Latino community residing here is quite diverse. Some of us were born here and are therefore American citizens. Others are naturalized citizens, have official residency (‘green cards’), or are undocumented. Many are immigrants; and many have a primordial heritage leading back to somewhere on the American continents. Yet many times we are treated with disdain, abuse, and disrespect in undignified ways involving verbal abuse and the threat of physical violence. We are subjected to the low opinion and expectations of others, exploited, etc. In brief, Latinos, as a

community, yearn for equal treatment under the law. Respect is another aspect of this situation as is trust. Many of us do not care to deal with police officers because of past experiences, which result in being fearful and insecure. A safe, peaceful, and secure community environment is difficult to have when residents do not trust local police. We all must change a bit in order to achieve the inclusive diversity that is possible and attainable here. Our local society may be diverse, but it has yet to become “inclusively diverse.” We all desire change headed in the direction of equal treatment under the law, respect, dignity, and trust. To achieve that level in this society means that “There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other, to learn from each other, to respect one another, and to seek common ground.” (President Barack Hussein Obama, Cairo, June 5, 2009). All of us are involved to some degree. Let’s continue to communicate and develop those understandings leading to changes involving all of us. Δ

Desempleados pasaron hambre Por Rosario Vital - El Observador el 4 al 9 de junio un grupo de conserjes, activistas comunitarios y líderes de fe se sumaron a la huelga de hambre en protesta al despido que la corporación Cisco System hiciera al más del 40% de los conserjes de aquella compañía. Estas personas se reunieron frente a la corporación, sede principal ubicado en la ciudad de San José. Por 7 días un líder religioso se encargó de rea lizar una ceremonia que incluía la bendición de los participantes. “Solo pedimos justicia y que nos devuelvan nuestros trabajos. Tengo que mantener a mi familia”, dijo Guadalupe Antolin trabajadora de limpieza. A su turno Teresa Guerrero dijo que sigue laborando como empleada de limpieza pero que el trabajo se ha duplicado. “Me solidarizo con mis compañeros, primero porque no tienen em-

pleo y segundo por se ha duplicado nuestro trabajo por el mismo salario”,dijo la joven madre de familia. A pesar de la rentabilidad de Cisco, incluyendo más de $ 34 mil millones en efectivo de activos fijos y un CEO que ha obtenido pagos de $ 11 millones, la empresa contratista de limpieza ABM despedió a más de 75 conserjes, destruyendo los medios de supervivencia de estas personas, poniendo en peligro a familias de bajos ingresos, indican el sindicato de trabajadores 1877. La huelga de hambre se origina luego que los trabajadores hicieron una serie de movilizaciones en los últimos meses pidiendo a Cisco “respon sabilidad social empresarial” y piden el reestablecimiento de los despedidos. Por su parte la corporación CISCO no se ha pronunciado al respecto. Los trabajadores llevan 7 meses de protesta.

Aumentan crímenes y disminuye confianza policial Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

ientras en San José el número de crímenes sigue en aumento -hasta la fecha se han producido en 10 homicidios- la desconfianza se ha triplicado entre sus residentes. Pero ¿cuál es la razón del incremento de los crímenes y actos vandálicos? “Tenemos un pequeño departamento policial, apenas hay 1,315 oficiales en nuestra ciudad, Dallas nos sigue en número de población y tienen 3,300 efectivos. Siendo nuestro departamento policial tan pequeño no podemos ir a todos lados”, indica el Presidente de la Asociación de Policías de San José(POA), Bobby López en referencia al crecimiento de los crímenes en San José. Lamentablemente la población no confía en los efectivos policiales y pocos miembros de la comunidad estarían dispuestos a reportar crímenes. Una reciente encuesta publicada por la organización PACT corrobora lo que El Observador realizó en meses anteriores y nuevamente decidió trabajar en otra encuesta. Sin embargo el Presidente de la Asociación de Policías de San José, Bobby López dijo que no cree en estas encuestas porque cuando ha patrullado las calles la gente se le ha acercado sin temor. En sus 30 años de servicio la gente nunca le ha negado el ingreso. En referencia al video difundido en “you tube” sobre considerar de amenaza al joven Raj Jayadev dijo que no va a pedir disculpas, que se usaron imágenes de una audiencia pública y dijo que era una interpretación de POA sobre los hechos que se mencionaron. Policías, bomberos y autoridades de la ciudad organizaron esta vigilia el pasado martes 9 de junio en la explanada del Municipio de la ciudad de San José. Defensores de los derechos, víctimas y líderes de la comunidad se unieron para pedir por un vecindario seguro y para pedir que se deje de criticar la labor policial.En este encuentro se honraron a los hombres y mujeres del Departamento de Policía y Bomberos de San José. A esta reunión asistió el Alcalde Chuck Reed, la Fiscal del Distrito, Dolores Car, el Presidente de los Bomberos Randy Seknay, el Presidente de la Asociación de Policías de San José, los Concejales Ash Karla, Pete Constant, Nora Campos y Forrest Williams asi como familias que fueron víctimas del crimen como los Husseini. A este evento concurrieron pocos miembros de la comunidad. Δ

Esta encuesta formulada a 101 individuos escogidos al azar el pasado 7 de junio respondieron de la siguiente manera:

Confianza:

personas tiene miedo de repor tar un crimen

no pedirían ayuda a la policía

INMIGRACION:

dos ta n e m cu o d in e d to n su a s e lo só No

l tema de inmigración no es un asunto que involucra a personas indocumentadas sino a también a ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos. No nos referimos a los hijos de inmigrantes que por cierto son ciudadanos sino a los personas que nacieron aquí, crecieron aquí pero por destinos de la vida se vincularon a la vida sentimental de los inmigrantes. Esta es la historia de Erica Villalobos quien está sufriendo por la separación de su esposo, Juan Carlos Rodriguez (32) un inmigrante de Jalisco, México que vivía 11 años en San José y que ahora tiene que enfrentar la leyes migratorias. “Cuando me uní a mi esposo, nunca ima giné que mi propio país me iba a hacer sufrir tanto”, dijo Erica Villalobos. Villalobos y Rodriguez contrajeron nupcias en junio de 2007. En noviembre del mismo año decidieron ingresar los documentos para arre glar la situación ilegal de su esposo. Ellos reciben una carta en la cual debían presentarse en la Ciudad de Juárez para la visa. Rodríguez fue aprobado para un perdón y se le dio una cita para el 29 de diciembre de 2008. “Hasta ese momento todo era gastos y gastos. Pagué 100 pesos y en horas debíamos esperar un documento. Pero cuando recibimos los documentos en el cual la oficina de inmigración indicaba que era insuficiente evidencias y que teníamos que llevar más evidencias. Pues el 10 de abril de 2009 sometí más evidencias pero recibimos una nota que mi esposo no podía entrar hasta obtener alguna respuesta”, dijo Vi llalobos. Villalobos cuenta que desde aquel entonces su marido no ha podido reingresar a los Estados Unidos y mientras tanto vive en Tijuana de algunos trabajos que se le presente. “No puedo creer que mi gobierno me esté negando esta ayuda”, dice entre lágrimas Vi llalobos quien recientemente se graduó como Bachiller en Especialista para Niños de la Universidad de San José. Ella explica que ha gastado 2,500 dólares y

que ahora tiene que viajar a Tijuana o viajar los fines de semana a este lugar para visitar a su esposo. “Mi esposo llegó a esta país a trabajar y con mi buena intención quise regularizar su situación. El destinaba sus ingresos para ayudar a su familia en México, no ha estado vinculado en crímenes ni drogas, es de buen caracter moral y ha estado al día con el pago de sus impuesto”, indica Villalobos. La joven esposa indica que lo barato le salió caro, ella pagó a una notaria para hacerle los trámites pero nunca fue informada que cuando un ciudadano se casa con una persona indocumentada que ingresó sin inspección era difícil arreglar.

DHS Establishes Interim Relief for Widows of U.S. Citizens

ashington-U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano granted deferred action for two years to widows and widowers of U.S. citizens-as well as their unmarried children under 18 years old-who reside in the United States and who were married for less than two years prior to their spouse’s death. Secretary Napolitano also directed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to suspend adjudication of visa petitions and adjustment applications filed for widow(er)s where the sole reason for reassessment of immigration status was the death of a U.S. citizen spouse prior to the second anniversary of the marriage. Additionally, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will defer initiating or continuing removal proceedings, or executing final orders of removal against qualified widow(er)s and their eligible children. USCIS will also consider favorably requests for humanitarian reinstatement where previously approved petitions for widow(er)s had been revoked because of the law. DHS will soon issue new rules instructing the public on how to apply for this relief. These directives apply regardless of whether the citizen filed a petition for the alien spouse before death. Deferred action is generally an act of prosecutorial discretion to suspend removal proceedings against a particular individual or group of individuals for a specific timeframe; it cannot resolve an individual’s underlying immigration status. Individuals granted deferred action may apply for work authorization if they can demonstrate economic necessity. Δ

Comuníquese a su manera

s posible que el teléfono sea algo muy aceptado en la vida del siglo XXI, pero no para aproximadamente tres millones de californianos. La mayoría de nosotros da por hecho el uso del teléfono. Pero si usted tiene dificultades para oír, ver, hablar, trasladarse o memorizar, lo que parece ser una simple llamada telefónica puede ser un desafío impidiendo la comunicación con la familia, los amigos y otros. La misma tecnología de telecomunicaciones

que impulsa una continua innovación ha producido una gran cantidad de teléfonos y dispositivos especializados para que las personas con discapacidades puedan comunicarse con la familia y los amigos. El Programa de Telecomunicaciones para Sordos y Discapacitados (DDTP, por sus siglas en inglés) provee estos teléfonos gratuitamente para los californianos que cumplen los requisitos. El DDTP distribuye equipos y servicios de telecomunicaciones que mejoran la comuni-

cación para todos los californianos. Siendo un programa de la Comisión de Servicios Públicos de California (CPUC, por sus siglas en inglés), el DDTP provee a los californianos un equipo de teléfonos especializados y servicios de retransmisión a través del Programa de Acceso Telefónico de California (CTAP, por sus siglas en inglés) y el Servicio de Retransmisión de California (CRS, por sus siglas en inglés), respectivamente. El CTAP provee teléfonos especializados que amplifican el sonido, ajustan el tono, se encienden cuando reciben llamadas, exhiben la conversación telefónica en forma de texto, tienen botones grandes con números en relieve, son portátiles o tienen botones de teléfono de marcado rápido que incorporan fotografías. El CTAP ofrece aproximadamente 60 tipos de teléfonos y dispositivos especializados, para que todos los californianos puedan comunicarse a su manera. El CRS provee Operadores de Retransmisión y Ayudantes de Comunicación especialmente capacitados para retransmitir conversaciones telefónicas entre personas sordas, con pérdida auditiva o con discapacidades del habla y las personas con las cuales desean comunicarse por teléfono. El CRS, el teléfono con subtítulos y los servicios de retransmisión de voz a voz (Speechto-Speech) se ofrecen en inglés y español.

Los residentes de California tienen derecho a recibir un equipo especializado si tienen un servicio telefónico y están certificados por un médico u otorrinolaringólogo autorizado. No hay costo, obligación, requisitos de edad o de ingresos. Una vez que una persona cumple los requisitos para recibir un teléfono especializado, pueden llamar al 1-800-806-1191 ó ir a uno de los Centros de Servicios del CTAP en California para determinar el dispositivo más apropiado para sus requisitos. El personal del CTAP demostrará las funciones de los teléfonos, recomendará el teléfono que se adecue mejor a las necesidades del cliente y proveerá capacitación sobre cómo utilizar y personalizar el teléfono. El DDTP es financiado por un pequeño recargo que aparece en las facturas telefónicas de los habitantes de California. El dinero que se recolecta paga tanto el CTAP como el CRS. Este recargo aparece en las facturas telefónicas con el nombre de “Servicio de Retransmisión y Fondo de Dispositivos de Comunicaciones de California” (CA Relay Service and Communication Devices Fund).

San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Faces 8th Year of Budget Deficits By Osvaldo Castillo - El Observador

he United States is currently facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. As a result, the city of San Jose has to close an $84 million shortfall, which is nearly 10 percent of the $880 million general fund budget. The mayor is calling for shared sacrifice that will allow many devastating cuts to critical services to be avoided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This budget reflects the value of this community,â&#x20AC;? Reed said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The budget represents a collaborative effort between the city, its employees, and the community to address the challenges we all face. By working together and sharing in the sacrifices, we can maintain the critical services that our residents depend on while minimizing the need for layoffs.â&#x20AC;? The mayor is asking top city employees not to take pay raises so that other city employees do not have to be laid off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are also taking unpaid days off, in order to save money,â&#x20AC;? Reed said. He also warned about Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to take money from San Jose in order to deal with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to prepare for the likelihood that the state will take $30 million,â&#x20AC;? Reed said. However, not all the news regarding the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget is grim. The mayor reassured that certain services would not have to be sacrificed. Public safety of the people of San Jose is the mayors top concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public safety is our top priority, from police and fire services to the programs that keep our chil-

dren and seniors safe,â&#x20AC;? Reed said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will not be laying off any police officers or firemen.â&#x20AC;? The mayor is recommending that the following services and programs continue to be funded; Police Patrol Unit staffing, fire stations 30 and 33, Police Traffic Enforcement Unit, Satellite and Neighborhood Community Centers, Police Horse Mounted Unit, Park Ranger Program, and library hours to be restored to eight hours a week. The mayor also said that the city would continue to aggressively pursue Federal Stimulus funding to create jobs and invest in long-term infrastructure need. The city of San Jose has identified 31 projects that are eligible for federal funding, at an underwriting level of nearly $850 million. These projects include; $15 million for transportation projects, $12 million for workforce development, $9 million for energy efficiency and conversation, $7 million for housing, $6 million for the San Jose Airport, and $1 million for the police department. Mayor Reedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Budget Message will be open for pubic comment at the City Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final Public Hearing on the Budget on June 15 at 7 p.m.

West Nile Virus positive birds found in Sunnyvale and San Jose SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. he Santa Clara County Vector Control District (District) has confirmed two crows tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV) last week. The dead birds were collected in the West San Jose area (zip 95130) near Bongate Court and Latimer Avenue, and in Sunnyvale (zip 94089) near Orleans Drive, north of Highway 237. These are the first two WNV infected birds detected in Santa Clara County this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dead birds are usually the first sign that the virus is active in a given area. It is important for residents to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Noor Tietze, Scientific/Technical Services Manager. Transmitted by mosquito bites, WNV causes mild to severe flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, and body ache. In se-

vere cases, significant neurological symptoms or even death can occur. The elderly and those with compromised immune systems are most susceptible. So far this year, no human WNV cases have been found in Santa Clara County. The Vector Control District is continuing to collect adult mosquitoes weekly for testing, and following patterns of dead birdcalls to identify areas of increased risk for human transmission of the virus. If you find crows, jays, sparrows, finches or birds of prey that have been dead for less than 48 hours and do not appear to have died as a result of an injury, report it online to the State at www.westnile.ca.gov. Or you may call the State Dead Bird Hot Line at 877968-2473 or contact the Santa Clara County Vector Control District (www.sccvector.org) at 408918-4770.

El Otro lado de los inmigrantes

os inmigrantes no solo son la tercera parte de la fuerza laboral del país sino también son sinónimo de contribución intelectual y artística especialmente en el Valle del Silicio. Región donde reside una gran variedad de inmigrantes procedentes de diferentes continentes. La diversidad es una de las características que identifica y se diferencia entre los demás. Es probable que no necesite ir a la China o a la India para ver la expresiones y contribuciones artísticas de los inmigrantes. Sin ir muy lejos la expresiones de artistas mexicanos se siente en cada esquina de la ciudad de San José, grupos folkórico entre otros. En el Área de la Bahía contamos con artistas pintores y poetas. En esta ocasión hay artistas latinos que sobresalen por su activismo en la comunidad pero al mismo tiempo contribuyen con su talento artístico en nuestra sociedad.

La pintora Marta Donayre es un reconocida activista que ha sobresalido por la lucha a favor de los inmigrantes y también a favor del matrimonio del mismo sexo. Además de esta gran virtud de activista social se ha destacado por sacar afuera sus cualidades artísticas. Donayre pinta desde el año 2004 y desde el año 2007 ha hecho público sus pinturas con un significado muy profundo que ha recorrido desde El Alcatraz en San Francisco, hasta eventos para recaudar fondos para ayudar a combatir el SIDA, así como exhibiciones de pintura en centros culturales locales. “El área en la cual vivimos es sui generes, es heterogéneo en el aspecto de cultura.

The Other Side of Immigrants

Yosimar Reyes By Rosario Vital - El Observador Immigrants are not only a third of the labor force of the United States, but they are also synonymous with intellectual and artistic contributions, especially in the Silicon Valley. In a region filled with immigrants from different continents, diversity is one of the characteristics that makes the difference in itself. It’s possible to see expressions and artistic contributions that immigrants make without ever having to visit China or India. Artistic expressions from Mexican artists can be seen and felt around any corner in the city of San Jose. Folkloric dancing is an example. In the Bay Area we rely on artists, poets,painters, photographers and filmmakers including those Latino artists that succeed because of their activism in the community. Poet Yosimar Reyes, painters Marta Donayre, Xuan

My Ho and Mirang Wonne, photographers Yen Le,Alejandra Chaverri and Ausencio Alvarez, musician Javier Vasquez, artist Yen Le and filmmaker Juan Garcia Gil are some of the contributors that make us see and hear beauty, and their messages get carried into our hearts. Marta Donayre is a renowned activist who has won battles for immigrants and is in favor of same sex marriage. Among many virtues, Donayre has been painting since 2004 and made her paintings available to the public in 2007. The paintings have been on display in Alcatraz Island. She also participates at charitable events to help prevent HIV/AIDS and in other local venues as well. “The area we live in is very generous and is heterogeneous when it comes to our culture. There lies a grand opportunity that invites people to expand their universe. For example, we don’t have to go to China to get to know China,” Donayre said. Yosimar Reyes, 22, a young poet who emigrated from Mexico, has suffered many difficult moments. However, his moments of pain, suffering and discrimination have allowed him to use the most powerful instrument that a human being possesses...his voice. Reyes has written the most precious poems dealing with sadness that have emerged in many years. His experiences with injustice are the inspiration for his poems, which he put together in a book entitled “ For Colored Boys Who Speak Softly”. In this book, Reyes wrote 12 poems about his own experiences, in both English and

Spanish. “The voice of the immigrant is critical. Events that give exposure to our work is important because it gives us a chance to express our sentiments and sufferings, while demonstrating that we are worthy”, Reyes said. Reyes is a young man that inspires our community. He is always active. In between trips and presentations, he takes with him a notebook where he writes his ideas for new poems. His next set of poems will be filled with the history of immigrants and a version of suffering shared by all immigrants. Santa Clara County has a population of approximately 630,720 immigrants. According to Census Bureau data from 2007. That is 36 percent of the population in the Silicon Valley. For the first time, Santa Clara County Office of Human Relations, has organized an exhibit in which talented immigrant artists contribute and also symbolize the community’s diversity through its many cultures. The exhibit will be on June 12 from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. at 2310 N. First St. in the County Charcot Center Café, San Jose, Ca. Δ Virgen de Guadalupe obra de la artista Donayre

Pepe Aguilar lanzará nuevo disco (Notimex). l cantante mexicano Pepe Aguilar regresó al estudio de grabación para preparar un material especial que incluirá a compositores como Joan Sebastian y Marco Antonio Solís. En su nueva producción discográfica, el intérprete de “Por mujeres como tú” también trabajará con Leonel García, Reyli Barba, Estefano y Carlos Lara, quienes tienen éxitos probados en el pop. Luego de un breve descanso, Aguilar se presentó el pasado 29 de mayo en la Feria Internacional de Comalcalco, Tabasco, donde reunió a más de 20 mil personas. El Parque de Beisbol Antonio Valenzuela Alamilla se convirtió en un coro monumental que acompañó al cantante en cada una de sus interpretaciones, provocando sorpresa en Pepe Aguilar, quien agradecía con reverencias la entrega de los tabasqueños. Pepe Aguilar prometió volver pronto a esta comunidad, donde el público no sólo le demostró su cariño, sino también la fuerza que tiene como cantante para convocar al pueblo.

The Proposal

hen high-powered New York book editor Margaret (SANDRA BULLOCK) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she’s actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (RYAN REYNOLDS), whom she’s tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (MARY STEENBURGEN, CRAIG T. NELSON, BETTY WHITE) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences. Touchstone Pictures presents “THE PROPOSAL,” opening nationwide on June 19. Δ

First Friday Going Zero By Cinthia Rodriguez - El Observador

he SubZero Festival was more than a zero on a scale of 10. The event was held in downtown San Jose, in an area where night clubs are abundant, but that wasn’t a problem. South First Billiards, was one of the venues that gave artists an opportunity to showcase their talent. As live bands performed, many artists were tackling the blank canvases. Heart of Chaos provided the artists and the evening was filled with music, with the occasional brake dancer on the dance floor. The festival gave music lovers and art lovers a chance to come together and appreciate both mediums of expression. Δ

LA TREVI ENTRE MUJERES ASESINAS

éxico, (Notimex).- La cantante Gloria Trevi confesó que para escribir “Que emane”, tema musical de la segunda temporada de la serie “Mujeres asesinas”, se inspiró en los casos de quienes fueron sus compañeras mientras estuvo en prisión. La artista, que en 2004 fue exonerada tras cuatro años ocho meses de estar en la cárcel, acusada de violación, rapto y corrupción de menores, opinó que “algunas de esas chicas son más víctimas que victimarias, porque fueron abusadas desde chiquitas”. Consideró que “la naturaleza de las mujeres consiste en dar vida no quitarla, pero muchas veces son involucradas por los hombres. La mayoría de los casos ocurrieron por circunstancias que desde niñas se les fue forjando con base en violencia, humillaciones y falta de amor”. Gloria Trevi explicó que en su tema se refiere a que emane todo lo negativo y puedan encontrar la luz y el amor. “Estaba nerviosa (de escribirlo) porque Pedro Torres es muy cuidadoso, exigente y perfeccionista, pero la canción me gusta mucho. Es una especie de limpia para sacar las cosas negativas y todo lo que puede hacernos daño”, explicó. “Las mujeres asesinas lo hacen de forma violenta y existimos otras personas que lo sacamos cantando o creando”. Así fue como nació “Que emane”, cuyo video, bajo la dirección de Esteban Madrazo, se grabó la noche del domingo en el foro 8 de Televisa San Angel.

México comió pupusas pero ganó a TYT México, (Notimex). uego de la derrota que sufrió ante El Salvador y que lo dejó en una situación muy complicada, dentro del hexagonal final de la Concacaf, México, derrotó por 2 a 1 a Trinidad y Tobago, una selección que nunca ha marcado gol en suelo “azteca”. Nueve, son las ocasiones en que estas escuadras se han vistos las caras en eliminatoria mundialista, con un claro balance a favor de los ahora dirigidos por Javier Aguirre, en calidad de local. La primera ocasión que estos equipos se enfrentaron, ocurrió el 14 de diciembre de 1973, en el camino rumbo a la justa mundialista que se celebró en Alemania en 1974, en la ciudad de Puerto Principe, donde el Tri, fue vapuleado 4-0. Tuvieron que pasar 27 años, para que estos equipos

se vieran nuevamente las caras, ahora fue en Puerto España el 27 de julio del 2000, donde los caribeños le volvieron a ganar a México, ahora por la mínima diferencia, dentro de la eliminatoria a Corea-Japón 2002. Fue hasta el 8 de octubre de ese mismo año, cuando México, finalmente fue capaz de tomar revancha de los trinitarios, por marcador de 7-0, duelo que se celebró en la cancha del estadio Azteca. Dentro del hexagonal final rumbo a tierras asiáticas, estos representativos nacionales se vieron las caras nuevamente, en la capital del país caribeño el 25 de marzo de 2001, donde se registró empate a un gol. Trinidad, pagó la visita el 5 de septiembre de ese mismo año, un partido en el que el Tricolor, no tuvo problema para levantarse con el triunfo de 3-0. En la eliminatoria de cara a Ale-

mania 2006, se encontraron en cuatro ocasiones, con tres victorias para México. La primera de ellas en Puerto España, el 8 de septiembre de 2004 y el marcador fue de 3-1; posteriormente el 13 de octubre del mismo año, en choque celebrado en la ciudad de Puebla, finalizaron 3-0 y finalmente, el 8 de junio de 2005 en Monterrey, el marcador fue 2-0. La última ocasión en que se enfrentaron ocurrió el 12 de octubre de 2005, en Puerto España, donde los trinitarios salieron con la victoria de 2-1. De nueve partidos, en que se han visto las caras en eliminatoria, México, ha salido con cinco victorias, cuatro en calidad de local y una como visitante, un empate y tres derrotas. Δ

Madrid, (Notimex). l Manchester United recibió una oferta de récord mundial, incondicional, de 80 millones de libras (131 millones 853 mil dólares) de parte del club español Real Madrid para fichar al portugués Cristiano Ronaldo. En un escueto comunicado, el club, ori ginario de Manchester, Inglaterra, indicó que “el United está de acuerdo en dar al Real Madrid permiso de hablar con el jugador”. Esto, ante el interés del club merengue por Cristiano Ronaldo, quien también ha expresado su deseo de irse, y después de discusiones con los representantes de los jugadores. Expuso que se espera que esas conversaciones concluyan el 30 de junio, y hasta que no haya noticias, el club inglés no hará comentarios. Δ
