ACHIEVING COMMUNITY SAFETY & SECURITY IS A 24/7/365 TEAM EFFORT

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

an Jose Police Department Chief Eddie Garcia addressed anxieties of the undocumented community in his op-ed published by Bay Area News Group (S.J. Mercury News, page A8, 04.11.2019). In his very first paragraph, Chief Garcia communicates the fact that an undocumented convicted felon had killed Bambi Larson. Turning this undocumented convicted felon over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of Department of Homeland Security would normally be the correct thing to do, and in this particular case, still is the thing to do. But that act flies counter to the policy adopted by the County of Santa Clara and City of San Jose whose leaders and community have opted to be a sanctuary for the undocumented which means not cooperating nor collaboration with ICE.

officials, such as Chief Eddie Garcia, must be allowed to cooperate & collaborate with ICE. The alternative leaves on individual whose behavior leans towards felonious acts whose outcomes are harmful to the safety and security of residents.

behavior (be rapists) and/or be serious drug addicts. No reasonable resident, citizen or undocumented, would want to favor continuing sanctuary status which protects these sorts of individuals in any local community.

It was very appropriate for Chief Garcia to do what reasonable law enforcement in the City of San Jose jurisdiction required. Chief Garcia is to be commended for taking the time to assure other undocumented residents that he, his sworn officers, and all members of the San Jose Police Department will continue to not cooperate nor collaborate with ICE.

While none have been denied due process of the law, when identified and placed in a local jail's protective custody, these sorts of felons need to be turned over to federal officials, specifically ICE, for deportation.

In both cases, the undocumented individual was a recidivist in that an extensive prior record documented criminal behavior. Both had been deported before and had found a way to return to this nation. The outcome of the current sanctuary policy was that it needs to provide for a method or define the exceptions to the rule.

A similar case occurred in San Francisco, CA where an undocumented individual had stolen a gun from a law enforcement vehicle; accidently fired it; the bullet ricocheted off a rock, hit a pedestrian, killing her. In both cases, the right thing to do was to turn these felons over to ICE for deportation proceedings.

The general community is liberal and favors supporting and protecting those undocumented which are good residents who are not scoff-laws. Those who support sanctuary policy must allow the local law enforcement officials to collaborate and coordinate with ICE when dealing with a felon whose residency in our community decreases its safety and security.

Despite the sentiments of the community, its elected officials and other ethical and moral leaders, local law enforcement

Invariably, these criminals have committed violent acts resulting in killing of innocent individuals; may practice violent sexual

And those law-abiding undocumented need to support these actions because their implementation increases the level of community safety and security. Chief Garcia and his ilk need not have their hands tied by any sanctuary policy. Every individual in any jurisdiction must understand that the achievement of Community Safety and Security requires ongoing 24/7/365 vigilance on the part of not only their law enforcement professionals, but also all its residents. Any time a resident witnesses, or acquires hearsay knowledge, or knows who knows about a felonious incident and chooses not to convey that information to the appropriate law enforcement investigators, then that decision has the effect of impeding the achievement of a higher level of community safety and security. Complicity has no place in these sort of incidents. Two innocent individuals had their lives ended because our general community is too 'Christian compassionate' Many of us learned not to be

tattle-tales or snitches when youthful. However, maturity and experience often will indicate when doing the right thing is to communicate tips; witness accounts; and other incident knowledge. Adult responsibility requires doing the right thing because this responsible act keeps one from being complicit as a false witness. There are many felonious crimes which remain unresolved. Consider that each case represents getting away with a serious wrongful act by an individual who could use some counseling and behavioral modification training. Individuals who act out in violent angry spontaneous outbursts often benefit from being identified, receiving due process, and learning to make better decisions for themselves (and others). All of these individuals tip off who they are with their behavioral patterns. It is essential for all of us to speak out when bullying and/or sexual misbehavior is witnessed. Community leaders must organize Neighborhood Watch Groups who are trained to be alert and observant about harmful and destructive activities. Burglars and sneak thieves of delivered packages, and vandals avoid those communities with “Watch Groups”. It is appropriate for all to learn to identify these un-civil behavior patterns. But it is also good knowledge for all residents to have and to use effectively. Neighborhood leaders could organize block parties which are used to learn who is really your next door neighbor. Too many of us do not know the family next

door. We need to learn, without violation of privacy issues, enough to be comfortable when requesting assistance required on occasion. There is a place for stable relationships, friendships, and knowing just enough to become a good neighbor who looks out for you and your kids. It is in these sorts of neighborhoods that a very high level of community safety and security are achieved and maintained 24/7. It does not happen without our personal involvement and interest. SJ Mayor Sam Liccardo personally told me, “San Jose has programs which help fund community block parties and the like.” So, call your City Councilman to learn how to have a block party funded by your own taxes and take a step toward getting acquainted with your neighbor. That is where you may start - and everyone has fun; no one is excluded, not even the undocumented because we do not need to know who they are. We, The People are very inclusive and diverse. We respect the dignity of our humane relationships. We begin by communicating enough to know each other as neighbors who look out for each other. The result is community safety and security achieved by trusting & honoring the ideals we all share. SJPD Chief Eddie Garcia would appreciate more of us as team members who want to achieve community safety and security as a team effort, 24/7/365.

CLEANER, CHEAPER ELECTRICITY FROM SAN JOSÉ CLEAN ENERGY IS A WIN-WIN FOR OUR FAMILIES’ HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT San José Clean Energy

ne in eight Santa Clara County residents suffers from asthma. A recent study by Texas A&M University found that 35% of the asthma cases affecting children in Santa Clara County are caused by traffic-related air pollution. The need to transition away from fossil fuels is clear – smog, air pollution, and asthma are impacting our families. The good news is now that San José Clean Energy (SJCE) is San José’s new official electricity provider, the electricity that powers our homes and businesses is getting cleaner. In February 2019, residents and businesses were enrolled in SJCE’s default GreenSource electricity service, which is cleaner and 1% cheaper than PG&E standard service. So,

you don’t need to do a thing to save money and join the fight against air pollution and climate change.

GreenSource includes 45% renewable energy from solar, wind and geothermal and 35% carbon-free hydropower, and is 80% carbon-free overall. It is planned to become 100% carbon-free by 2021, completely eliminating air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from San José’s electricity supply. If you want to take it one step further, this Earth Day consider upgrading to TotalGreen to get 100% renewable energy from SJCE. By choosing TotalGreen, you’ll join nearly 800 San José homes and businesses that are helping reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, clean up our air, and preserve our planet

for our children and future generations. Each TotalGreen home saves the same amount of CO2 as 1 acre of U.S. forests absorbs each year. TotalGreen costs one penny more per kilowatt-hour (kWh) than GreenSource, which is about $5 more per month for the average SJCE residential customer. This month SJCE started to contract with vendors to build new renewable energy resources like solar and wind farms dedicated for SJCE customers. Instead of profits going to shareholders, SJCE will reinvest revenue back into our community through lower rates and programs that reduce carbon emissions further and promote equity. Together, we’re powering a bright future for San José!

a recibido una llamada de alguien que dice ser de una agencia gubernamental? ¿O quizás recibiste un correo electrónico sospechoso de un nombre de marca familiar? Estafas impostor ocurren todos los días, por lo que es importante saber lo que es real y lo que es falso. Una llamada telefónica o un correo electrónico puede parecer legítimo, pero los estafadores dependen de esta confusión para engañar a los consumidores para que regalen su dinero o información personal.

• Casa de compensación del editor. La tercera organización más imitada es conocida por regalar mucho dinero. Los estafadores se aprovechan de esto, y afirman que has ganado millones de dólares. Similar a una estafa de subvención gubernamental, sólo tiene que pagar una cuota inicial para recibir sus ganancias. BBB recibió más de 2.000 sorteos/lotería/estafas Premio reportados a BBB Scam Tracker en 2018, con los consumidores principalmente perdiendo dinero a través de transferencias bancarias. Más información en bbb.org/prizescam.

Según el informe anual de riesgo de estafa 2018 Better Business Bureau (BBB), "'suplantación' es una táctica muy común utilizada por los estafadores. Es donde el estafador pretende ser un negocio legítimo que es bien conocido y de confianza por el consumidor... Mientras que todos los estafadores pretenden ser una especie de operación legítima por definición, esta táctica particular es donde el estafador pretende ser una entidad conocida, de confianza.” Estas son las organizaciones legítimas más comunes que se utilizaron para la suplantación en 2018, de acuerdo con el informe de riesgo de BBB: • El gobierno de Estados Unidos. El IRS fue la organización #1 más imitado de 2018. BBB Scam Tracker recibió más de 3.600 estafas de recaudación de impuestos en el año pasado con los consumidores perdiendo un promedio de $1.000. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos en general fue la #2 organización más imitado con estafadores pretendiendo ser del Departamento del tesoro o del seguro social. Los estafadores a menudo afirman que eres elegible para una beca gubernamental gratuita y solo tienes que pagar impuestos iniciales para reclamarlo. También pueden pretender estar conectados a Medicare y pedir información personal. Las estafas del gobierno fueron la estafa #10 más arriesga a los consumidores en 2018, de acuerdo con el índice

• Compañías informáticas. En 2018, la cuarta y quinta organización legítima más imitada fueron Microsoft y Apple respectivamente. De acuerdo con el informe de riesgo de BBB, "estafas de soporte técnico comienzan con una llamada o advertencia emergente que avisa al objetivo de un error de computadora u otro problema. Los estafadores que se hacen pasar por empleados de soporte técnico de las empresas de tecnología bien conocidos problemas víctimas a pagar por "apoyo." Si la víctima permite el acceso remoto, el malware puede ser instalado." Aprenda más acerca de la séptima estafa más arriesgado a los consumidores en bbb.org/techsupportscam • Compras en línea. Con más compras hechas en línea que nunca antes, estafas de compras en línea han visto un repunte y terminó como la segunda estafa más arriesgado el año pasado. Amazon terminó como la organización #6 más suplantaciones el año pasado con más quejas de suplantación que cualquier otro sitio web de comercio electrónico. Ray Ban fue la 10ª organización más imitada en 2018 seguida por Secret Shopper en el número 14. Muchas de estas estafas se perpetran a través de sitios de medios sociales con un comprador haciendo una compra, pero el artículo nunca llega. Otras veces una persona puede vender un artículo en línea y recibir un cheque falso. Estafas de compra en línea

fueron la estafa número uno para las personas entre las edades de 35-44 y componen 20,6 por ciento de todas las estafas reportadas el año pasado. • Empresas de medios sociales y bancos. Un estafador correos electrónicos que afirman que hay un problema con su red social en línea o cuenta bancaria y le pide que haga clic en un enlace para solucionarlo. Este enlace le llevará a una página de inicio de sesión de phishing de aspecto parecido. Si ingresa su información de inicio de sesión, el estafador también tendrá acceso a su cuenta en línea. Los nombres de muchas de las organizaciones que componen el resto de la lista de los 15 primeros se utilizan de esta manera: Facebook (#9), PayPal (#12) y Bank of America (#13). Estafas de phishing fue la segunda estafa más reportado a BBB Scam Tracker en 2018-aprender cómo reconocer y evitarlos en bbb. org/phishingscam. • Buró de Mejores Negocios. Incluso su mejor oficina de negocios clasificada como la 11ª organización más imitada de 2018. Muchas de estas estafas se dirigen a pequeñas empresas. Los estafadores llaman para cobrar "cuotas" no pagadas o enviar por correo electrónico enlaces peligrosos o adjuntos que afirman que están relacionados con "quejas". Según un marzo 2018 BBB comunicado de prensa sobre este tema, "mientras que una oficina de BBB puede ponerse en contacto con un negocio por una variedad de razones, usted nunca debe dar información personal o financiera por teléfono durante una llamada no solicitada de alguien que no conoce... Finalice la llamada y vuelva a llamar a través del número en sus registros o el número en el sitio web de la organización."

ave you received a call from someone claiming to be from a government agency? Or perhaps you’ve received a suspicious looking email from a household brand name? Impostor scams occur every day, so it’s important to know what’s real and what’s fake. A phone call or email may seem legitimate, but scammers depend on this confusion to trick consumers into giving away their money or personal information.

• Publisher’s Clearing House. The third most impersonated organization is known to give away a lot of money. Scammers take advantage of this, and claim that you’ve won millions of dollars. Similar to a government grant scam, you just need to pay an upfront fee to receive your winnings. BBB received more than 2,000 Sweepstakes/lottery/ prize scams reported to BBB Scam Tracker in 2018, with consumers primarily losing money through wire transfers. Learn more at bbb.org/ prizescam.

According to the 2018 Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker Annual Risk Report, “‘impersonation’ is a very common tactic used by scammers. It’s where the scammer pretends to be a legitimate business that is well known and trusted by the consumer… While all scammers pretend to be some sort of legitimate operation by definition, this particular tactic is where the scammer pretends to be a known, trusted entity.” Here are the most common legitimate organizations that were used for impersonation in 2018, according to BBB's Risk Report: • The U.S. government. The IRS was the #1 most impersonated organization of 2018. BBB Scam Tracker received more than 3,600 tax collection scams in last year with consumers losing an average of $1,000. The U.S. Government in general was the #2 most impersonated organization with scammers pretending to be from the Treasury Department or Social Security. Scammers often claim you’re eligible for a free government grant and just need to pay upfront taxes to claim it. They may also pretend to be connected to Medicare and ask for personal information. Government grant scams were the #10 riskiest scam to consumers in 2018, according to the BBB

• Computer companies. In 2018, the fourth and fifth most impersonated legitimate organization were Microsoft and Apple respectively. According to BBB’s Risk Report, “Tech support scams start with a call or pop-up warning that alerts the target to a computer bug or other problem. Scammers posing as tech support employees of well-known tech companies hassle victims into paying for “support.” If the victim allows remote access, malware may be installed.” Learn more about the seventh riskiest scam to consumers at bbb.org/ techsupportscam. • Online purchases. With more shopping done online than ever before, online shopping scams have seen an uptick and finished as the second riskiest scam last year. Amazon finished as the #6 most impersonated organization last year with more impersonation complaints than any other e-commerce website. Ray Ban was the 10th most impersonated organization in 2018 followed by Secret Shopper at number 14. Many of these scams are perpetrated through social media sites with a buyer making a purchase, but the item never arrives. Other times a person may sell an item online and receive a fake check. Online purchase scams

were the number one scam for people between the ages of 35-44 and made up 20.6 percent of all scams reported last year. • Social media companies and banks. A scammer emails you claiming that there’s an issue with your online social media or banking account and prompts you to click on a link to fix it. This link will bring you to a look-a-like phishing signin page. If you enter your login information the scammer will also have access to your online account. The names of many of the organizations that comprise the remainder of the top 15 list are used in this way: Facebook (#9), PayPal (#12) and Bank of America (#13). Phishing scams was the second most reported scam to BBB Scam Tracker in 2018 - learn how to recognize and avoid them at bbb.org/ phishingscam. • Better Business Bureau. Even your Better Business Bureau ranked as the 11th most impersonated organization of 2018. Many of these scams target small businesses. Scammers call to collect unpaid “dues” or email dangerous links or attachments that they claim are related to “complaints”. According to a March 2018 BBB press release on this subject, “while a BBB office may contact a business for a variety of reasons, you should never give personal or financial information over the phone during an unsolicited call from someone you do not know... End the call and call back through the number in your records or the number on the organization’s website.” You can check out the full list of the most impersonated legitimate organizations at bbb.org/riskreport.

FACEBOOK AND COMMON SENSE Shelly Palmer

ark Zuckerberg is founder and chief executive officer of Facebook, the world’s largest population. In reading his op-ed in the Washington Post, Mark Zuckerberg: The Internet needs new rules. Let’s start in these four areas, I was struck by its similarities to Thomas Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense, which for all practical purposes incited the Colonies to rebel against the King. Both of these manifestos deserve to be read in their entirety. The main difference between the two writings is that Mark Zuckerberg either doesn’t realize or won’t admit that Facebook is not a company; it’s a country.

In short, Facebook does not need to be regulated; it needs to be governed. The question is, how? Should Facebook become a constitutional republic (like the United States), or should it evolve into a benevolent dictatorship (like Rome under Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, circa 161 CE, who is generally recognized as the last benevolent emperor of Rome)? If you use “of the people, by the people, for the people” vs. “of the people, by Mark Zuckerberg, for the shareholders” as a discussion starter, you will be surprised how quickly your thoughts about regulation evolve. On March 30, 2019, Mark Zuckerberg wrote: Technology is a major part of our lives, and companies such as Facebook have immense responsibilities. Every day, we make decisions about what speech is harmful, what constitutes political advertising, and how to prevent sophisticated cyberattacks. These are important for keeping our community safe. But if we were starting from scratch, we wouldn’t ask companies to make these judgments alone. I believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators. By updating the rules for the Internet, we can preserve what’s best about it — the freedom for people to express themselves and for entrepreneurs to build new things — while also protecting society from broader harms. From what I’ve learned, I believe we need new regulation in four areas: harmful content, election integrity, privacy and data

portability.

Now it’s time for some Common Sense. Replace the word “society” in the text below with “Facebook.” Then, after you’ve read it that way, put “society” back and replace the word “government” with “Facebook.” On February 14, 1776, Thomas Paine wrote: Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a Government, which we might expect in a country without Government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others. In order to gain a clear and just idea of the design and end of government, let us suppose a small number of persons settled in some sequestered part of the earth, unconnected with the rest; they will then represent the first peopling of any country, or of the world. In this state of natural liberty, society will be their first thought. A thousand motives will excite them thereto; the strength of one man is so unequal to his wants, and

his mind so unfitted for perpetual solitude, that he is soon obliged to seek assistance and relief of another, who in his turn requires the same. Four or five united would be able to raise a tolerable dwelling in the midst of a wilderness, but one man might labor out the common period of life without accomplishing anything; when he had felled his timber he could not remove it, nor erect it after it was removed; hunger in the meantime would urge him to quit his work, and every different want would call him a different way. Disease, nay even misfortune, would be death; for though neither might be mortal, yet either would disable him from living, and reduce him to a state in which he might rather be said to perish than to die. Thus necessity, like a gravitating power, would soon form our newly arrived emigrants into society, the reciprocal blessings of which would supersede, and render the obligations of law and government unnecessary while they remained perfectly just to each other; but as nothing but Heaven is impregnable to vice, it will unavoidably happen that in proportion as they surmount the first difficulties of emigration, which bound them together in a common cause, they will begin to relax in their duty and attachment to each other: and this remissness will point out the necessity of establishing some form of government to supply the defect of moral virtue. Regulation vs. Governance Is Facebook really a country? It is a population of over 2.5 billion people who have self-assembled. They vote on every issue with their attention and pay taxes with their data. I would argue that Facebook is not a country; it is a new form of human bureaucracy designed to transcend our naturally selected limitations on our abilities to determine friend from foe. I would also argue that data has become universally accepted as a form of currency (because it can easily be translated into wealth). And if you accept that as an axiom of the 21st century, then the inequality between the data-rich aristocracy and the datapoor proletariat makes the wealth accumulated by Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors, and even rulers of ancient Chinese dynasties look insignificant by comparison. So, should Facebook be regulated or governed by its users? Or do you have a better idea? I’d love your opinion.

Aviso sobre un acuerdo de demanda colectiva autorizado por el Tribunal del Distrito de los EE. UU., Distrito Este de Nueva York. Este aviso está autorizado por el Tribunal para informarle sobre un acuerdo para presentar una demanda colectiva que puede afectarlo a usted.

Los demandados alegan que no hicieron nada malo. Afirman que sus prácticas comerciales son legales y resultado de la competencia, y que han beneficiado a los comerciales y a los consumidores. El Tribunal no ha decidido quién tiene razón porque las partes aceptaron establecer un acuerdo. El Tribunal ha dado su aprobación preliminar para este acuerdo.

El fondo neto del arreglo del grupo de demandantes se utilizará para pagar reclamos válidos de comerciantes que aceptaron tarjetas de crédito o débito Visa o Mastercard en cualquier momento entre el 1 de enero de 2004 y el 25 de enero de 2019. Este arreglo crea el siguiente Grupo de demandantes del Acuerdo en virtud de la Regla 23(b)(3): Todas las personas, empresas u otras entidades que aceptaron tarjetas Visa y/o Mastercard en los EE.

seguir pasando.

partir de 1991, la banda Los Amigos Invisibles se convirtieron en un nombre familiar en su tierra natal de Venezuela, y desde entonces han realizado giras por todo el mundo creciendo cada ano su número de fanáticos atraídos por su mezcla energética de funk, jazz, música tropical y muchos otros géneros más. Su gira más reciente por los EE. UU. los trae a Berkeley el 27 de abril, junto con sus compañeros de gira, los eclécticos Aterciopelados de Colombia. Recientemente, el líder de Los Amigos Invisibles, Julio Briceño, nos habló de la carrera de su banda, como ir a un espectáculo de música es como un día en el spa, y de lo afortunado que se siente de poder seguir haciendo lo que soñaba de niño. Hola Julio, muchas gracias por su tiempo. ¿Como le va? Dándole al trabajo, a la música, sabes como es. Desde su último tour de su disco, “El Paradise”, ¿cómo fue su ano preparando para este nuevo tour?

Photo Credit: Los Amigos Invisibles

APRIL 19 - APRIL 25, 2019

Oh buenísimo, el año pasado el disco, “El Paradise”, fue nominado a los American Grammy [y] se hicieron cerca de 70 espectáculos en el año, en lo que es estados unidos y Europa y México. Y [estamos] felices de poder seguir viviendo el sueño de ser música. Cuando uno empieza hacer música como chiquito ese es tu sueño - poder vivir de la música; y lo estamos logrando ya, agradecido por el universo que pueda

Para nuevos fans, ¿puedes describir como es el sonido de Los Amigos Invisibles? La música de Los Amigos Invisibles es música bailable que va desde funk, electrónica, la salsa el merengue y ritmos tropicales. Es importante que si no conocen a Los Amigos Invisibles pero tu quiere, por ejemplo, perderte en eso una noche, anda a un espectáculo de Los Amigos Invisibles para que baile, goce, y pierda peso con zapatos livianos. ¿Cómo fue que escogieron la banda con la que van a ser tour, Aterciopelados? Bueno el año pasado se dio la oportunidad de tocar aquí en Miami con un productor que montó el concierto y de verdad que nos fue muy bien. El público colombiano y venezolano, básicamente es muy parecido sus gustos, entonces para el lado de Los Amigos Invisibles también han sido bandas que han cruzado fronteras su música y en general Latinoamérica los conocen y funciona muy bien el tipo de público. Fue en octubre del año pasado. El mismo promotor dijo, “¿Oye porque no hacemos esto [por] estados unidos?” ¡Vamos a darle! Esperando que lleguen, la gente que conecte con nosotros. Lo bonito es que cuando tocan dos bandas pues cada uno sale con el mejor repertorio posible y al final es el público que sale disfrutando. Y entonces es que su banda y Aterciopelados son muy diferentes. Eso es importante, los Aterciopelados son muy diferentes a Los Amigos y creo que la variedad es donde sale ganando el público.

Después de años de hacer estas giras, ¿qué es lo que le gusta más de eso? Creo que el momento de tocar en vivo es lo mejor de todo el tour. Cuando se viaja y se comparte sobre todo ya ahora en día somos familia, es como ir de viaje allí con tus primos básicamente, también es bonito porque hay mucha camaradería en el equipo. Pero el momento de tocar en vivo y la reacción de la gente a tus canciones es lo que lo vale todo. Entonces, para la gente que lea esto, ¿porque recomienda ir al espectáculo de Los Amigos Invisibles y Aterciopelados cuando lleguen a Berkeley? Creo que una de las cosas que va a escuchar de las dos bandas, voy a hablar por Aterciopelados porque los conocemos y [los] hemos visto en vivo - es que cuidan que el espectáculo en vivo sea una experiencia reconfortante. Creo que hoy en día con las locuras que vive la gente y el planeta y lo que ve por televisión, creo que es importante conectar con unas buenas bandas en vivo. Yo lo hago mucho como publicó, hace poco vi a Steve Poole en vivo, nunca lo había visto en vivo. Fueron como dos horas muy bien invertidas. Mi dinero fue como, ¡“Wow!”, la pase muy bien. Esto es mejor que ir a ver una película, por ejemplo, ir a ver una banda en vivo y como la gente reacciona alrededor de la música y las canciones, es algo inigualable. Te manda a tu casa con una sonrisa. Y eso es lo que esperamos que pase con Aterciopelados y Los Amigos. Es como ir a un spa mental, musical.

CA LAWMAKERS MOVE MULTIPLE ANIMAL-WELFARE BILLS FORWARD

Opponents of many of these bills say they represent government overreach.

California law makes it a misdemeanor to sexually assault an animal. But Kelly says the current definition is too narrow, and her group supports Assembly Bill 611 to change that.

Traps set for wild animals often injure pets. Assembly Bill 273 would ban commercial trapping in California. Suzanne Potter California News Service

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - A slew of animal protection bills moved forward in the California Legislature this week including proposals to limit animal abuse, hunting, poisoning and trapping.

Senate Bill 580 would force people convicted of such serious crimes as aggravated cruelty, bestiality and hoarding to undergo mental-health evaluation and get treatment if necessary. Kim Kelly legislative affairs director with the Animal Legal Defense Fund says lawmakers are seeing the need to deal with people

who abuse animals, before they hurt people. "This is a way to intervene early on," says Kelly. "Oftentimes, people who are violent towards animals, there might be an underlying issue. And so, this mental health evaluation would get to the root of the problem and hopefully

get them appropriate counseling, so that we could stop the escalation." Assembly Bill 1788 would ban certain types of commercial rat poison that also harm wild animals that eat the carcasses. Other bills would ban trophy hunting of bobcats and commercial trapping of other animals for

"So, the bill would strengthen the law in California by expanding the definition, preventing offenders from possessing animals, and requiring veterinarians to report signs of animal sexual abuse to law enforcement," says Kelly. Currently, eight California cities ban the procedure of declawing cats because they say it is painful for the animal. Assembly Bill 1230 would institute that ban statewide.

ach year upwards of 500 million people in 174 countries celebrate Earth Day, the largest secular holiday in the world. Earth Day is a great reminder for everyone otherwise just going about their daily lives that we should all be doing more to protect ecosystems,

According to Earth Day Network (EDN), the non-profit that has been organizing and overseeing Earth Day every year since its inception in 1970, this year’s focus is on species protection. The group reports that we’re losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the normal rate.

“Many species will disappear before we learn about them or the benefits they bring to our ecosystems and our planet,” says EDN. “The loss is so great that the welfare and future of the human species are threatened.” EDN is using the platform of Earth Day to raise awareness about the accelerating rate of extinction of countless

The group has also enlisted the help of thousands of partner organizations around the world to advance and protect laws, policies, regulations and international agreements to prevent species loss and preserve as much biodiversity on the planet as possible. Here in the U.S., EDN is focusing on saving the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act from the deregulatory sword of the Trump administration. “The good news is that the rate of extinctions can still be slowed, and many of our declining, threatened and endangered species can still recover if we work together now to build a united global movement of consumers, voters, educators, faith leaders and scientists to demand immediate action,”

says EDN president Kathleen Rogers. You can show your support for the cause by showing up at an Earth Day event near you. Chiff.com provides links to Earth Day events in various major cities across North America including Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Jacksonville, Houston, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Seattle, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Francisco, Ottawa and Quebec. If you live elsewhere, check out Everfest’s Earth Day page which lists events in 40 different metro regions across the U.S. Or if you can’t get to an event, just do something good for the planet: plant a tree, bike to work, go meatless. Even better, check out U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ideas for community service projects, from watershed restoration of local waterways to waste reduction at school

It is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown a copy of the order, or has verified its existence

on the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). If the law enforcement agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, and the restrained person was not present at the court hearing, the agency shall advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then shall enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties. Arrest Required if Order Is Violated If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and had disobeyed the order, the officer must arrest the restrained person. (Penal Code, §§ 836(c) (1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6. If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact with the restrained person, the orders remain in effect and must be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The orders can be changed only by another court order. (Pen. Code, § 13710(b).) Conflicting Orders– Priorities for Enforcement If more than one restraining order has been issued protecting the protected person from the restrained person, the orders must be enforced according to the following priorities (see Pen. Code, §136.2 and Fam. Code, §§ 6383(h), 6405(b)): 1. EPO: If one of the orders is an Emergency Protective Order (form EPO-001), and it is more restrictive than other restraining or protective orders, it has precedence in enforcement over all other orders. 2. No-Contact Order: If there is no EPO, a nocontact order that is included in a restraining or protective order. 3. Criminal Order: If none of the orders includes a no-contact order, a domestic violence protective order issued in a criminal case takes precedence in enforcement over any conflicting civil court order. Any nonconflicting terms of the civil restraining order remain in effect and enforceable. 4. Family, Juvenile, or Civil Order: If more than one family, juvenile, or

other civil restraining or protective order has been issued, the one that was issued last must be enforced. Child Custody and Visitation • The custody and visitation orders are on form DV-140, items 3 and 4. They are sometimes also written on additional pages or referenced in DV-140 or other orders that are not part of the restraining order. • Forms DV-100 and DV-105 are not orders. Do not enforce them. Certificate of Compliance With VAWA This temporary protective order meets all “full faith and credit” requirements of the Violence Against Women Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2265 (1994)(VAWA), upon notice of the restrained person. This court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter; the restrained person has been or will be afforded notice and timely opportunity to be heard as provided by the laws of this jurisdiction. This order is valid and entitled to enforcement in each jurisdiction throughout the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, all tribal lands, and all U.S. territories, commonwealths, and possessions and shall be enforced as if it were and order of that jurisdiction. –Clerk’s Certificate– Clerk’s Certificate I certify that this Temporary Restraining Order is a true and correct copy of the original on file in the court.

El mes nacional de la excavación segura destaca la importancia de llamar al 811

KEEP CALM AND

ADVERTISE HERE

A medida que el calendario avanza en abril y llegan las temperaturas de primavera, las mejoras en el hogar y los trabajos de construcción aumentan constantemente. Dado que estos proyectos a menudo requieren perforaciones y excavaciones, es apropiado que abril sea designado como el Mes Nacional de Excavación Segura. Esta iniciativa de seguridad pública a nivel nacional cuenta con el apoyo de Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) y más de 1,000 empresas de servicios públicos para concientizar sobre la importancia de tener líneas de servicios públicos subterráneas marcadas antes de cualquier proyecto de excavación. De acuerdo con la herramienta de reporte de información de daños de Common Ground Alliance (Alianza Común por el Suelo), una línea subterránea de servicios públicos es dañada cada nueve minutos en los Estados Unidos. PG&E está instando a los clientes a que ayuden a prevenir los impactos a las tuberías llamando, sin costo, al 811 o solicitando en línea que marquen gratuitamente las líneas de gas y electricidad tres días hábiles antes de que comience el proyecto. “Cada año, el no llamar antes de excavar resulta en más de 200,000 impactos prevenibles a las líneas subterráneas de servicios públicos en todo el país. Ya sea usted un contratista o propietario de una vivienda, o si su proyecto es grande o pequeño, llamar al 811 antes de excavar le ayudará a evitar poner en riesgo la vida o la propiedad, así como reparaciones costosas que pudieran resultar del impacto a líneas subterráneas de gas o electricidad”, dijo Jesús Soto, vicepresidente sénior de Operaciones de Gas de PG&E. Datos clave • En 2018, hubo más de 1,700 excavaciones ejecutadas por otras compañías sobre infraestructura subterránea de PG&E en el norte y centro de California. • De los más de 1,700 excavaciones, casi la mitad resultó que no habían usado el 811 para marcar o demarcar con anticipación las líneas de gas y electricidad. • De las excavaciones de terceros (clientes o cuadrillas de construcción) sobre las líneas de PG&E en 2018, las excavaciones residenciales representaron el 22 por ciento. • En el 86% de los casos, el 811 no fue llamado con anticipación.

ADVERTISING & LEGAL NOTICES INQUIRIES

El 811 es un número gratuito designado para propietarios de viviendas y excavadores profesionales y cuenta con el servicio de oficinas regionales. Los operadores que contestan llamadas y correos electrónicos despacharán todos los servicios necesarios para marcar correctamente las líneas subterráneas de servicios públicos con pintura o banderas. El Servicio de Alerta Subterránea del norte y centro de California, así como de Nevada (USA North, por sus

siglas en inglés), cuenta con personal las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana, y proporcionará servicios de traducción al español y entre otros. Consejos de PG&E para una excavación segura: Marque el área del proyecto en blanco: Identifique el lugar de excavación dibujando una caja alrededor del área usando pintura blanca, estacas blancas, banderillas blancas, tiza blanca o incluso harina de hornear blanca. • Llame al 811 o conéctese en línea para obtener un tique USA tres días hábiles antes de excavar: Esté preparado para proporcionar la dirección y la ubicación general del proyecto, fecha de inicio de este, así como el tipo de actividad al excavar. Tanto PG&E como otras compañías de servicios públicos identificarán las instalaciones subterráneas en el área de forma gratuita. • Excave de forma segura: utilice herramientas manuales cuando excave o escarbe a 24 pulgadas del borde exterior de las líneas subterráneas. Deje en su lugar las marcas o identificación de los servicios públicos, bien sean banderillas, estacas o marcas de pintura, hasta que termine el proyecto. Luego, rellene y compacte el suelo. • Tenga en cuenta las líneas: si la línea de un servicio público es visible, excave en paralelo a esta y tome todas las precauciones al remover la tierra que encuentre alrededor de la línea. • Preste atención a los signos de una fuga de gas natural: Se percibe el olor a “huevo podrido”, puede escuchar silbidos o chiflidos y observar suciedad dando vueltas en el aire, burbujeando en un estanque o arroyo, así como vegetación muerta o por morir (seca) en un área húmeda. PG&E insta a los clientes a llamar al 911 y a PG&E al 1-800-743-5000, si sospecha que hay una fuga de gas. Si se produce una abolladura, raspadura u otro daño de forma accidental en una tubería de gas, los que están cerca deben irse inmediatamente y alertar a los demás para evitar que se acerquen al área. Solo cuando esté a una distancia segura, se debe usar cualquier cosa que pueda crear una chispa, como teléfonos celulares, cerillos, control remoto de puertas de garaje, vehículos e incluso equipos de jardinería. Acerca de PG&E Pacific Gas and Electric Company, una subsidiaria de PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), es una de las empresas de gas natural y electricidad combinadas más grandes de los Estados Unidos. Con sede en San Francisco y más de 24,000 empleados, la empresa suministra algunas de las energías más limpias del país a aproximadamente 16 millones de personas en el norte y centro de California.
