OPINION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

BULLYING IN OUR COMMUNITY EXISTS

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

Bullying may be defined as an uninvited effort by a person or organization to control, intimidate, suppress, or exclude another individual. Bullying has been studied extensively in school environments as well as workplaces. Recently another form of bullying has become very evident in San Jose.

In recent times, organizations which do not get ‘their way’ often resorted to harassment and intimidation. Both are forms of bullying. For example, recently a San Jose City Council member was subjected to a variety of activities which were allegedly perpetrated by individuals who harassed this elected official with abusive verbal statements. What happens falls short of being physically abusive. However, the experience of being the target of a bully is not pleasant.

This happened in connection with disapproval of how this particular elected official voted on a specific public policy matter.

In another different incident, Mayor Chuck Reed was ticketed for making ‘an illegal right turn without using turn signals.’ Mayor Reed correctly acted in a manner that did not escalate this incident to irrational levels.

Nonetheless this incident became the topic of news media examination and analysis. The objective of the officer who wrote the ticket is still not explicitly known. What is known is that many vehicle drivers do make right turns without using their turn signals and are not ticketed for that alleged infraction. Viewed

objectively, this incident is a form of harassment.

Whether or not this was the outcome of an organizational conspiracy is not known, however many citizens think it is very possible. What was the basis? Simply stated, there is a pension contract that must be completed because to proceed without explicitly defined inputs of money, the existing contractual stipulations will shortly require pension payouts which were never appropriately funded when that should have happened.

Many citizens understand what is going on and appreciate the courage, integrity, and conviction demonstrated by this elected official in calling attention to future outcomes which are untenable.

T he se two b ul l yi ng expressions of disapproval are uncivil and unacceptable. But then, that is what a bully does, is it not? The use of bullying is a well practiced activity.

The bullying tactics of certain parties may be understood by reviewing the extensive compilation of information about school and workplace bullying. One is advised to Google ‘bullying’ to see the extensive database already recorded.

The tactics used are similar. Their objective is to isolate, intimidate, create an atmosphere of anxiety or fear; to threaten physical abuse. Then there is verbal abuse and cyber-bullying which targets the victim at levels of harassment heretofore impossible.

Some target victims of cyber bullying have committed suicide.

In many cases, the objective is the isolation of a targeted party along with gaining the approval of bystanders, who in many cases, want to avoid becoming the next victim.

These bullies often taunt

and tease the target before becoming physically abusive.

Is it possible to view the expenditure of personal wealth to try to change existing public policy as bullying?

Super-PACS spend millions of dollars supporting radio and TV ads which are often simply propaganda, i.e., the information content broadcast is often simply not historically correct.

Can the unmonitored barrage of these ads be a form of bullying?

One thing is certain, bullies simply have no capacity for empathy.

Their own perspective is self-centered.

Ordinary citizens must understand that they cannot be silent bystanders. They must speak up in significant numbers giving voice to their sense of what is right and proper.

By remaining silent, these citizens are complicit.

We are all taught to be competitive; to become number one; to win. It is so easy to become a bully when dealing with a party whose self-esteem and confidence results in passivity.

All in society must decide what to do if bullying happens.

The best thing is to document the incidents accurately so as to be able to report accurately to authorities.

Another approach is to get beyond competitive assertiveness by transitioning to a level of communication which is valid and natural. If communication levels can be established it may be possible to coordinate; become collaborative and cooperative so as to establish an acceptable level of understanding which permits all stakeholders to live in security and peace. Take a look to see if you can identify the bullying which exists today in this community.

Being forewarned is being forearmed.

NO DESISTIR, NUNCA RENDIRSE Luisa Fernanda Montero LA RED HISPANA

Cuando su hijo falla en la escuela es usted el que está fallando. Algo no está funcionando como debe ser en su familia y en su entorno. ¿Cuántos de nosotros estamos dispuestos a corregirlo?

De la casa al trabajo y del trabajo a la casa muchas veces el tiempo se convierte en un espacio indefinible entre la cama, la ducha y los deberes. Si, pero en el camino no podemos olvidar que ahí están nuestros hijos y que necesitan de nosotros, de nuestro tiempo y de nuestro amor.

Es ya sabido que el sistema educativo al que estamos sujetos no es el mejor. Muchas escuelas no cuentan con los maestros que desearíamos y muchos espacios no son los que quisiéramos. El sistema puede fallar, los padres no.

La frase es parte de la promoción de “Won’t Back Down” No desistirán la película, basada en hechos reales, pone de manifiesto muchas de las deficiencias del sistema en lo que a educación se refiere, pero también es un

ejemplo de perseverancia y compromiso.

El punto es la reflexión.

Cuando se trata de nuestros hijos, es decir de niños hispanos, es mucho lo que hay que reflexionar y mucho más lo que, como padres, debemos poner de nuestra parte.

El sistema es muy distinto al que usted conoció en su país. Si su hijo es inmigrante deberá enfrentar muchos retos de socialización, adaptación e idioma, y usted debe estar con él. Y aun, si su hijo nació en este país, usted debe ser protagonista permanente de su vida estudiantil y esforzarse por entender el sistema, navegar en él y si es el caso, modificarlo.

No es cuestión de enviarlo todos los días a la escuela.

Es cuestión de involucrarse con los procesos escolares, de conocer a sus maestros y a sus amigos, de acompañarlo en su recorrido académico.

Y es también cuestión de participar activamente en los procesos cívicos que tienen que ver con la escuela, en su condado o en su ciudad.

¿Está usted realmente involucrado en la educación de sus hijos?

OCURRIELCIAS Hector Curriel hcurriel777@yahoo.com

¿Hace usted parte de la asociación de padres de familia de la escuela? ¿Su hijo está superando retos y avanzando en el camino adecuado? ¿Le dedica usted tiempo suficiente y de calidad a sus hijos?

Las preguntas, son sólo un punto de partida, cada familia es un mundo diferente y una oportunidad maravillosa. No espere para hacer equipo con sus hijos.

Recuerde que los primeros años son fundamentales en los procesos de aprendizaje de hábitos y en la adquisición de disciplinas y valores. Nunca es tarde para llevar a sus hijos de la mano y acompañarlos en la construcción de su futuro. El éxito es posible, pero es consecuencia de un proceso familiar cotidiano que debe incluir conceptos como responsabilidad, honestidady compromiso.

Si no sabe cuál es el siguiente paso, busque ayuda. No desista. Y si necesita inspiración “Won’t Back Down” puede ser un buen comienzo. Para saber más visite www.

Pa r e n t R e v o l u t i o n . o r g .

No lo olvide: Entre todos podemos alcanzar el éxito académico de nuestros hijos.

Re-entering Society in the Santa Clara County Santa Clara County was the only county in the area to travel to different prisons to identify individuals who would be a good fit for the re-entry program.

These individuals, both incarcerated and formely incarcerated, helped renovated the building where the center is located.

“Our county is a leader in helping individuals become functional members of society,” said Jeff Rosen, Santa Clara County District Attorney.

Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Many individuals who have served prison time have a difficult time transitioning back into the community, and as a result, they commit more crimes and end up returning to prison.

On Friday, October th 19, the Santa Clara County Re-Entry Resource Center was created to help these individuals become a part of the community once again.

The Center will offer support services and resources for former offenders, such as health care access, alcohol and drug treatment, employment and housing assistance.

“We want these people to know that they are not alone and that we are here for them,” said George Sh i rak awa , Pre s ide n t, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. “We want them to know that we want to succeed with their transition back into society.”

The services are being provided to successfully reintegrate former offenders back into the Santa Clara County community, and are part of the strategy to reduce repeat offenses, as well as to create a healthier, safer community.

“This is an example of our communities coming together and organizing to make something we believe in work,” said Jeffrey V. Smith, County Executive. “ We have seen the data and the fact is that these types of programs work.”

“This is about compassion and caring,” added Sheila Mitchell, Chief Probation Officer. “Our clients have made mistakes and we want them to know that we are here to help them turn their lives around.”

Santa Clara County leaders celebrate the opening of the Re-Entry Center in San Jose.

“We went out and found these individuals because we are committed to this community,” added Dr. Nancy Pena, Santa Clara County Mental Health Department. “This effort is symbolic of what good

government is.”

Under AB109, the 2011 Public Safety Realignment Act, county residents committing new nonviolent, non-serious, and non-high risk sex offenses are no longer eligible for state prison. Instead, these individuals will be sentenced to county jail. At the same time, individuals who are returning home after completing state prison sentences for nonserious offences are now assigned to a community supervisor under county probation service rather than state parole.

The Santa Clara County Re-entry Resource Center is located at 151 W. Mission Street in San Jose.

¿Cambiaron las reglas para las “deudas buenas” versus “deudas malas”?

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY Antes de que la Gran Recesión de 2008 invalidara muchas creencias financieras arraigadas, no era raro que las personas diferencien entre “deudas buenas” y “deudas malas”. La idea era que valía la pena asumir ciertos tipos de deuda porque a la larga se salía adelante.

Ahora es un buen momento para dar un paso atrás y examinar el concepto de deudas buenas vs. deudas malas y por qué, en algunos casos, la adquisición de deuda todavía puede tener sentido: siempre que planifique cuidadosamente y no exceda lo que razonablemente puede esperar pagar.

Esta simple distinción sigue siendo válida: Asumir la llamada deuda buena puede ayudar a aumentar su puntuación de crédito

o le permite comprar algo que va a aumentar en valor con el tiempo, mientras que la deuda mala a menudo alimenta la compra de artículos que son innecesarios.

Hipotecas. Antes de la crisis inmobiliaria, la propiedad de la vivienda se consideraba una deuda buena porque históricamente, cuando alguien finalmente pagaba su hipoteca, su casa valía por lo general mucho más que el precio de compra.

Una de las mejores maneras de edificar un historial crediticio sólido es mostrar a los prestamistas que usted puede pagar sus deudas de manera responsable. Es más propenso a calificar para una hipoteca, un préstamo prendario u otra deuda grande si ha demostrado un comportamiento de reembolso responsable. Sólo recuerde: Tener múltiples préstamos o tarjetas de crédito con alto límite podría perjudicar su calificación.

la diferencia en los ingresos totales durante una vida laboral de 40 años como más de $ 800.000.

Préstamos para estudiantes.

El graduado universitario promedio gana $ 47.422 al año, comparado con $ 26.349 para los graduados de secundaria: una diferencia de $ 21.073. Usando matemáticas sencillas, algunos calculan

Sin embargo, estos cálculos no tienen en cuenta la agobiante deuda del préstamo estudiantil que los graduados enfrentan o la imposibilidad de encontrar trabajo en un campo elegido en tiempos

difíciles. Pero aún así, la tasa de desempleo entre los graduados universitarios es aproximadamente la mitad que la de los graduados de la escuela secundaria: 4,5 por ciento vs. 8,4 por ciento. La universidad es todavía una buena inversión para mucha gente si no se pasa de la raya con los préstamos y elige un título potencial de empleo.

Pa r a m u c h o s , e s t o probablemente seguirá siendo cierto, a menos que haya comprado durante el alza en el mercado o se vea obligado a vender antes de que los precios puedan recuperarse.

Después de todo, las tasas de interés hipotecarias están en niveles históricamente bajos y los intereses y puntos hipotecarios siguen siendo deducibles de impuestos.

Eso sí, no compre más casa de lo que puede permitirse.

Tenga en cuenta los gastos como los impuestos sobre la propiedad, el seguro hipotecario primario, las cuotas de mantenimiento,

los servicios y las reparaciones; y si le dan una hipoteca con interés variable, calcule cuánto podría subir el interés.

Deuda mala.

Lo que califica como deuda mala no ha cambiado desde la recesión, y los consumidores conscientes del presupuesto están prestando más atención ahora.

Comer afuera, vacaciones excesivas y ropa o productos electrónicos innecesarios -querer vs. necesitar- todo califica si usted gasta más allá de sus medios. Básicamente, si usted no puede pagar la factura en su totalidad dentro de un mes o dos, vuelva a examinar si se trata de un gasto que vale la pena, especialmente si no tiene sueldo de por lo menos seis a nueve meses guardadito en un fondo de emergencia o si está tratando de ahorrar para un auto o una casa.

Su Educación…El Futuro de California

El Sueño de California fue basado en un sistema de escuelas y universidades públicas de calidad, y así dar acceso a la educación necesaria para salir adelante a cada persona en California. Sin embargo, los recortes a los presupuestos de educación están amenazando ese sueño. ¡Vote SI en la Proposición 30 para invertir en nuestros niños y su futuro!

La Proposición 30 evita el recorte de otros $ 6 mil millones en dinero destinado a escuelas y universidades este año, y provee fondos adicionales para reducir la cantidad de alumnos en las clases y restaurar programas tales como arte y música.

La Proposición 30 cuenta con estrictas medidas de responsabilidad y auditorias públicas cada año, para garantizar que los fondos vayan directamente a sus escuelas locales.

La Proposición 30 pide a los Californianos más ricos que paguen un poco más, de modo que la clase media no tenga que sufrir el costo. Las familias que ganan menos de $500,000 al año no pagaran impuestos adicionales sobre sus ingresos.

Vote SI en la Proposición 30. No podemos seguir cortando el presupuesto destinado a nuestras escuelas y al mismo tiempo mantener una economía fuerte para la próxima generación.

How to Stay Safe When Walking to School Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Tragedy strikes a local community when a young child is struck by an automobile on their way to or coming from school.

Many times these accidents can be avoided.

On Tuesday, October 24, students from Washington Elementary School in San Jose, learned safety tips when walking to school by participating in an event called “Washington Camina Contigo.”

“The purpose of the event was to teach the students who walk to school on how to be safe and caring pedestrians,” said Omar Torres, Executive Director Santa Maria Ministry of San Jose. “Like crossing at a cross walk, crossing when it is the pedestrians turn and not crossing illegally or one that is hazardous to their safety.”

Parents and volunteers from the Camina Contigo group lead students and their families, teachers, and community leaders such as Councilmember Sam Liccardo, along two different routes to Washington Elementary.

“Over 100 families participated, about 75 students from all grade levels participated,” Torres said. “We wanted the students to learn to stop, look and listen when crossing the street legally.

Stop when they feel they are endangered.”

The California Safe Routes to School website lists several tips for ensuring that students walk to and from school safely.

Children under the age of nine should know the following points: 1. Ask a parent before walking anywhere without them.

2. Use sidewalks or paths.

If there are no sidewalks or paths, walk as far from the motor vehicles as possible on the side of the street facing traffic.

3. Always look for motor vehicles. Drivers are supposed to obey the rules and watch for pedestrians, but they cannot be relied on to always do so.

3. Watch for motor vehicles turning or pulling out of driveways.

4. Do not cross behind or within ten feet of the front of a bus or other large vehicle because the driver cannot see this area.

Children who are old enough and have parent permission to cross the street need to know the following additional points:

5. Stop at the edges of driveways and curbs or edges of the street where no curb exists and look for motor vehicles before proceeding.

1. Choose route with the fewest streets to cross. Avoid crossing busy or high-speed streets.

2. Be more visible to motor vehicles by wearing bright clothing in the daytime. When there is little or no light, such as at sunrise or sunset, wear retro-reflective gear or carry a flashlight.

6. Watch for parked motor vehicles that may be getting ready to back up or pull forward.

Students arrive at Washington Elementary after participating in the “Washington Camina Contigo” Event.

Expect the

Best!

7. Before crossing, always look for motor vehicles even when a crossing guard, parent or other adult says it is okay to cross.

8. Walk, don’t run across the street.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degreeF. Roll about 1 tablespoon, shaping the dough in an oval. Gently

pinch bridge of the nose to form eye sockets. Place two sliced almonds at top of each piece of dough, and place two mini chocolates for the eyes below the ears, pressing them gently into the dough. Place the mice on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing the mice 2 inches apart.

Bake until the cookies are

light golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Insert a wooden skewer about 1/2inch into mouse’s round end. Remove the skewer and insert the curved length of licorice for tail. Cool on rack. When the cookies are cool, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to one week.

Asma a causa del tráfico: ¿Será tu hijo parte del ocho por ciento?

Diane Bailey El Consejo para la Defensa de Recursos Naturales

Un ocho por ciento de los casos de asma infantil se debe a vivir en cercana proximidad a autopistas o carreteras principales (a menos de 250 pies o 76 metros), concluyó un informe.

Estos hallazgos confirman que la contaminación del aire no sólo empeora el asma pero puede ocasionar el desarrollo de asma en niños saludables. Da en que pensar porque 45 millones de estadounidenses viven a menos de 300 pies de una carretera y muchos de estos son niños.

Las partículas de hollín y otros contaminantes no anuncian de dónde

provienen antes de invadir nuestros pulmones. Pero, por suerte, existe suficiente investigación sobre los tipos de vehículos que emiten más contaminantes.

De acuerdo con las mejores herramientas de modelización de emisiones de vehículos, los camiones diesel emiten diez veces más contaminantes y hollín que otros coches. Aunque los camiones diesel han mejorado con el tiempo y seguirán haciéndolo gracias a estándares modernos, nadie puede aguantar la respiración tanto tiempo.

Entonces, ¿cómo mantenemos a la gente a una distancia segura de la contaminación que produce el tráfico?

Una forma seria dándole prioridad al uso comercial en terrenos que limitan

con autopistas en vez de uso residencial. Esto es importante ya que las ciudades buscan desarrollar cambiándole uso a las propiedades, una meta importante que mejora la calidad del aire y la salud pública porque las hace más accesibles tanto para peatones como al transporte público.

Aquellos que viven a la par de carreteras con mucho tráfico pueden tomar ciertas medidas para protegerse de la contaminación de diesel. Por ejemplo, un estudio reciente en Barcelona encontró que las personas que viven en ciudades con una mayor cantidad de pasto y árboles están expuestos a mayores niveles de partículas contaminante en el aire que quienes viven sin mucha

Registered Nurses ready to strike

vegetación alrededor de sus casas. Ese estudio se enfocó en mujeres embarazadas, quienes son particularmente susceptibles, pero los resultados de niveles reducidos de contaminación asociados con más vegetación benefician a todos. También se pueden utilizar filtros de aire de alta eficiencia en los hogares y escuelas para ayudar a reducir la exposición.

Plantar árboles y filtrar el aire interior son algunas soluciones sencillas que podemos tomar para reducir nuestra exposición a la contaminación nociva en el aire, pero no sustituyen una reducción o eliminación. Será mejor hacer todo lo posible para reducir las fuentes de contaminación.

Registered nurses at Good Samaritan Hospital and Regional Medical Center in San Jose have authorized a strike, if necessary,to protest hospital management demands they say will erode patient care and RN contract standards that will also undermine the ability of the hospital to recruit new RNs. In membership meetings this week, the RNs voted to authorize their nurse bargaining team to call a strike, the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United (CNA/ NNU) announced on October 19. No strike date has been set at this time.

The RNs at Good Samaritan and Regional Medical Center of San Jose have been in bargaining for a new contract for several

months. Negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement for the 1,500 RNs represented by CNA/ NNU have been underway for about half a year. The current contract, which expired on June 30, has since been extended to October 30.

Good Samaritan and Regional Medical Center are affiliates of HCA, Hospital Corporation of America, the nation’s largest for-profit hospital system.

“The nurses are fed up, and the large turnout of RNs, many of whom even came in on their day off to cast a ballot, demonstrates just how concerned we are about our work environment,” said Malinda Markowitz, RN, a Good Samaritan nurse and a CNA co-president.

The mission of the Hispanic Chamber Of Commerce Silicon Valley is to maximize Hispanic business and economic development of Silicon Valley by serving as an advocate and resource for its members, business owners, professionals, students and the community in general by being the premier voice for Hispanic and minority businesses.

This event is to help support the efforts of CTC

in keeping the Day Worker Center open which provides day laborers with a safe and supportive environment as an alternative to finding work on street corners and parking lots. Labor workers can connect with employers. It empowers day laborers to improve their socio-economic condition by providing job skills training, computer training, English language skills and academics.

CTC matches employers with workers who are best fitted for the job at hand, providing employers with reliable, honest help. The primary focus for this request is a homeless prevention program—that is achieved by providing employment opportunities.

The Mission District’s Day of the Dead Celebration and Procession Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Within San Francisco’s Mission District there lies one of November’s

most culturally significant attractions. On 24th Street in the busy and diverse Mission District you will find a large Hispanic community intersecting with people of all types and origins. Also known as the “El Corazon de la Mission” or “the heart of the Mission,” murals line the walls and storefronts of used bookstores, taquerias, coffee shops, and pupuserias.

This vibrant community is just one of many in the city, although November brings a swing of traffic to the area in the form of the Day of the Dead celebration.

This mix of Christian and Mesoamerican traditions has been celebrated in San Francisco since the 1970’s but goes back hundreds of years to Aztec roots.

One of the more important goals of the event is to establish that people have connections with their loved ones and ancestors who have passed away.

During this yearly event many organizations and

volunteers converge to run the festival of alters and candle lit processions that walk through the streets and corridors of the Mission District.

The main organizer, a non-profit called Marigold Project, aims to preserve and promote the community led event that attracts around 15,000 attendees yearly. This year’s event will include processions, guest speakers, Aztec dancers, alter installations by more than 75 artists as well as a main community alter in Garfield Park.

Guests are encouraged to participate by bringing candles for their loved ones.

The event is free and will go on from 6:00pm-11:00pm on November 2nd. For more information about this event the Marigold Projects website, http:// www.dayofthedeadsf.org/ has a press release, info on transportation and volunteering.

La Llorona: como nunca antes visto

El 2 de noviembre, La Llorona hará su estreno en San José, como parte de las celebraciones en toda la ciudad en conmemoración de El Día de los Muertos. Las presentaciones se llevarán a cabo en el escenario del Teatro Herencia Mexicana, Escuela de Arte y Cultura en la Plaza de la Herencia Mexicana.

“Va a ser una producción maravillosa”, dijo Héctor Armienta, Director Artístico, Opera Cultural y creador de La Llorona.

La historia de La Llorona es muy conocida en América Latina, pero la versión de Armienta fue inspirada por su abuela Paula López, sus luchas y los sacrificios que hizo para mantener a su familia, sobre todo a sus hijos. En su versión, el río controla la fe de todos los personajes. También es parte de una trilogía llamada Aguas Ancestrales.

Aunque es la segunda pieza que escribió en realidad es la primera parte.

“Lo que es único sobre la producción de San José es que están incorporando a estudiantes de secundaria y preparatoria de su programa

de conservatorio 5 de ellos participaran, otros 3-4 miembros de la compañía de la danza azteca Tonalequeh Calpulli también serán parte del elenco” dijo Armienta.

La Llorona es una historia de una joven india de nombre Xochitl, ella le sirve al río en el siglo 19 en la Península de Yucatán en México. Con el tiempo conoce a un descendiente de españoles, ella se casa con él, y el río se pone furioso. El río destruye toda su gente y está decidido a vengarse de ella. El rio se las arregla para orillarla a sacrificar su hija única, de nombre Sara.

La primera entrega de la trilogía de operetas es Río de Mujeres, donde Armienta se inspira en la vida de su abuela quien es el personaje principal Paula y fue producido en San Francisco.

Seguido por La Llorona y está trabajando en la parte final titulado La Muerte.

“El otro tema principal es si estamos o no en el control de nuestra fe o hay otros elementos tanto naturales, sobrenaturales que controlan nuestro destino”, explicó Armienta.

La trilogía es un homenaje a las luchas de las mujeres en la familia Armienta así como las mujeres en general.

“El público puede esperar muchas sorpresas. No es la historia de la Llorona después de que ella ahogó a sus hijos, es como La

Llorona llegó a ser “, dijo Armienta.

El sábado pasado, los miembros del Área de la Bahía del elenco tuvieron su primera ensayo en el teatro.

Cada uno de los estudiantes, cantantes de ópera y los bailarines aztecas estuvieron presentes para pasar de una escena a otra.

Los espectadores pueden esperar algunos diseños escénicos y vestimenta que incorporan el mundo oscuro y el vibra del siglo 19 de México. Para aquellos que hablan el español tendrán la oportunidad de ver las historias con las que crecieron en el escenario.

También es una oportunidad para expandir el arte de la óper “Estamos muy entusiasmados de traer La Llorona a San José”, dijo Armienta. “Nuestro

objetivo es involucrar a la comunidad a través de la ópera y el teatro musical.” Ésta es la tercera producción de La Llorona la primera se produjo en el 2008 y la segunda en enero de este año. Después de sus presentaciones en San José Opera Cultural espera llevarlo de regreso a Nueva York y otras ciudades importantes en 2014.

Habrán varias presentaciones comenzando el 2 de noviembre con boletos de $10. Para mas información visite, www. operacultura.org

La Llorona wanders into the East Side of San Jose Cinthia Rodriguez EL OBSERVADOR

“It’s going to be a wonderful production,” said Hector Armienta, Artistic Director, Opera Cultural and creator of La Llorona.

The story of La Llorona is very well known in Latin America, but Armienta’s version was inspired by his grandmother Paula Lopez, her struggles and the sacrifices she made to support her family, most importantly her children.

In his version, the river controls the faith of all characters. It is also part of a trilogy called Aguas Ancestrales (ancestral Waters). Although it is the second piece he wrote it is actually part one.

“What’s unique about the san Jose one is that they are involving middle and high school students from their conservatory program. About 5 of them will perform, 3-4 members of the Aztec dance company Calpulli Tonalequeh who will serve as members of the cast,” said Armienta.

La Llorona is a story of a young Xochitl Indian girl who serves the river in 19th century in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. She eventually meets a Mexican of Spanish descent, when she marries him the river becomes furious.

The river destroys all of her kin and is determined to seek vengeance upon her. It puts things into place so that she will sacrifice her only daughter, Sara.

On November 2 – 4, La Llorona (Weeping Woman) will make its San Jose premiere as part of the city-wide celebrations commemorating El Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Performances will take stage at the Mexican Heritage Theater, School of Arts and Culture at Mexican Heritage Plaza.

The first of the trilogy of operettas is Rio de Mujeres (River of Women), where Armienta brings to life his grandmother with the main character as Paula and was produced in San Francisco.

Followed by La Llorona and being developed is the final part titled La Muerte (The Death).

“The other major theme is whether or not we are in control of our faith or are there other elements both natural, supernatural that control our destiny,” explained Armienta.

The trilogy pays homage to the struggles of women in the Armienta family as well as women in general.

“The audience can expect a lot of surprises. It’s not the story of la Llorona after she drowns her children, it is how La Llorona came to be,” said Armienta.

Last Saturday, the Bay Area cast members had their first run through in the theater. Everyone from the students, opera singers and the Aztec dancers were present to go from scene to scene.

Spectators can expect some scenic designs and wardrobes that incorporate the underworld and a sense of 19th century Mexico.

Spanish speakers will have the opportunity to hear the stories they grew up with on stage. It is also a chance to expand the art form of

opera.

“We’re very excited to bring La Llorona to San Jose,” said Armienta.

“Our goal is to engage the community through opera and musical theater.”

This is the third production of La Llorona

with the first being produced in 2008 and the second in January of this year. After its San Jose dates Opera Cultural hopes to take it back to New York and to other major cities in 2014.

FASHION

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR Have you decided how you’re going to dress up as this Halloween? If not, what are you waiting for?

Don’t you remember the end of the world is near

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

and this might just be the very last Halloween we get to enjoy? Just kidding, but seriously get it together.

Since I’m such a nice guy I’m going to give you a few words of advice of what to and what not to wear this Halloween, unless of course

OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1 , 2012

you want to look like a disaster. Here we go.

DO dress to impress.

Whatever look you are going for make sure you do your best to look the part whether you’re buying an already made costume or you are creating your own.

If you’re dressing up as an original character make sure your costume won’t need an explanation. If it’s a person or character, go the extra mile and study its mannerisms and uniqueness, in other words get into character.

DON’T dress up as an athlete. Unless you’re planning on dressing up as a zombie football player, don’t just put on your gym clothes and grab a ball and show up looking like your lazy, un-creative self and claim you’re Tim Tebow because what you’re really going to end up looking like is a huge a-hole.

DO be creative. Think outside of the box and instead of buying a costume already made come up with your own, something unique nobody else will have.

Home-made costumes are

better, affordable and more creative most of the time.

(cough, cough) and not be called out for it.

DON’T dress up as a specific race. Unless you want to get beat up, please follow this rule. Traditional garments are not costumes; they are part of a culture’s identity and traditions. It is utterly insulting when nonnatives dress up in other culture’s traditional clothes as an act of mockery; it shows ignorance, disrespect and lack of knowledge.

DON’T over share.

Although it is completely fine to show off your assets there is such a thing as over sharing. Don’t take it too far as to show everyone your boy or lady parts, that would just be taking it to the extreme and if that was the case then you would be called ugly names, and you don’t want that, trust me.

DO show off your assets.

If there is a time when it is completely acceptable to showcase your goodies, now it’s the time. Wear that tight corset you have been dying to wear all year, wear your thigh-high leather boots and show off what your mamma gave you.

Halloween is the only time of the year when you are allowed to dressed like a

So there you have it, a few words of wisdom from someone who has seen, heard and experienced firsthand the joy of Halloween parties. Just remember that whatever you decide to be this Halloween, make sure you enjoy it because this might just be your last, wahahahaha! (Evil laugh).

Hija de Jenni Rivera detalla sus emociones por Twitter

Gerardo Ortiz El Primer Ministro

Los Angeles CALIFORNIA

Gerardo Ortiz, El Rey del Corrido, nomás no para… No se detiene ni para peinarse, verdad de Dios. Sus éxitos siguen y siguen y siguen…

El otro notición que Gerardo Ortiz tiene para su querido público, es que ‘El Primer Ministro’ –su nuevo disco que salió a la venta el 25 de septiembre– es el álbum más vendido en los Estados Unidos.

Aunque, pensándolo bien, no podía esperarse menos de un álbum que debutó en el No. 1 de ventas en iTunes, y con un Disco de Oro.

‘El Primer Ministro’ es un disco explosivo, con toda la calidad musical y la pasión a la que Gerardo Ortiz nos tiene tan acostumbrados. El álbum está disponible en dos versiones: una ‘standard’ y otra ‘deluxe’.

La hija de artista Jenni Rivera, Janney “Chiquis” Marín, fue en el sitio twitter para ventilar sus frustraciones al tratar de encontrar la paz en estos tiempos difíciles.

La familia de Jenni Rivera ha estado en el torbellino de los medios últimamente debido al divorcio de Rivera

de su marido, el jugador de béisbol Esteban Loaiza. Las noticias que han aparecido reclaman que el fin del matrimonio fue causado por la infidelidad de Loaiza, ya sea con otro hombre o peor, con la propia hija de Rivera.

San Jose Giants Release New Podcast

Earthquakes Introduce Candidates for MLS Year-End Awards Photo Courtesy: San Jose Earthquakes.

SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA The San Jose Earthquakes clinched their second-ever Supporters’ Shield and set a Guinness World Record for largest participatory groundbreaking over the weekend.

Now, they have four prime contenders for yearend MLS awards, including: Chris Wondolowski for Volkswagen Most Valuable Player, Frank Yallop for Coach of the Year, Alan Gordon for Comeback Player of the Year and Victor Bernardez for Defender and Newcomer of the Year.

Wondolowski has put together one of the finest campaigns in MLS history.

He leads the Budweiser

Golden Boot race with 26 goals, nine more than his next-closest pursuer, and more than doubled his career high with seven assists.

Yallop has marshaled one of the biggest turnarounds from one season to the next in MLS history. At 19-6-8, Yallop’s squad has

improved by 27 points and a league-record 11 wins from their 2011 finish.

Gordon bounced back from a pair of potentially careerending surgical procedures at the end of 2011 to post the best season of his nineyear MLS career. Gordon has scored at a leagueleading rate of 0.90 goals per 90 minutes.

Bernardez signed with the Earthquakes on Dec. 21, 2011 and has since been a crucial part of San Jose’s back line. Despite an attackminded approach, which has translated into one of the league’s most prolific goal-scoring outputs since 1996, Bernardez has helped the Earthquakes to a No. 8 ranking in goals allowed.
