Temor por Deportaciones

BY MARINEE ZAVALA

POR ANA GÓMEZ SALCIDO

SANDAG’s Border Committee has a new Chair who, together with representatives from throughout San Diego, the counties of Orange and Riverside, representatives of 17 Native American tribes, and delegates from the country of Mexico, are working together to plan and identify challenges faced by one of the largest economic and trade zones in the world.

Mexico and the lower part of Southern California already have significant plans, including expediting border-crossings, Port of Entry infrastructure, improving air quality, and others to improve conditions for the area; this is the result of many years of working together to increase trade and improve security for people on both sides of the border.

“Another example of the projects and improvements we work on is our work at border crossings exchanging information with Customs and Border Protection; as a regional government, we also have an initiative for the

Making Waves On Air

BY MARIO A. CORTEZ

Like many of us, Sabina WidmannHernandez could not have anticipated in her youth that she would be working in her current field.

“When I was young I wanted to be in conservation and save the world,” WidmannHernandez said to La Prensa San Diego. “I was an idealist.”

Sabina Widmann-Hernandez is the vice president, general manager and director of Sales of Univision stations in the San Diego market, a far cry from her dreams as a girl, but not uncharted territory.

Growing up, Widmann-Hernandez’s mother worked for a CBS radio affiliate in New York City while her father worked in advertising.

“I grew up as a radio brat. I got to meet the djs and go to concerts, but also saw the hard work that behind radio as well as fun and excitement of it. But I always thought that I would do something very different like saving the world, ” Widmann Hernandez shared.

“At this point, [Fonseca’s] fraud against the taxpayers cannot be ratified by so-called stewards of the public trust — a handful of trustees — who do not care how unethical their soldier is as long as he carries out their will,” said Cory Briggs, SanDOG’s lawyer who filed the lawsuit.

Sewage Tide Rolls Into San Diego Beaches

ENGLISH P.2

Estados Unidos También Sufriría al Salir de NAFTA

BY MARIO A. CORTEZ

The 143 million gallons of raw sewage have flowed from the Tijuana River Valley into San Diego’s shored, this according to California officials.

The large volume of sewage flowed into the coast over the span of two weeks during the winter storms that hit the region. While it is common for a few million gallons to flow into the region’s beaches, this huge spill is the largest in over 20 years.

“This was like a tsunami of sewage spills,” said Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina, who has been working on obtaining answers from Tijuana authorities. “What’s worse is it looks to me like this was deliberate. It saves [Mexican agencies] a lot of money in pumping costs.”

The tide of sewage has been linked to the unpleasant odor along beach communities on both north and south of the border.

Complaints about the odor have been emitted by residents from communities ranging from Playas de Tijuana through Coronado. The large amount of complaints in San Diego County has lead lawmakers in said entity to contact the corresponding authorities south of the border.

U.S. authorities have said that Mexican authorities have not given proper explanation for this case. However, it is believed that the overflow was caused by repairs being made to a major sewer line at the junction of the Tijuana and Alamar rivers. “[Baja California’s State Public Service Commission] said it was a bypass of raw sewage into the Tijuana River during the rehabilitation of a large sewer pipeline in Tijuana,” said Lori Kuczmanski, spokeswoman for the U.S. side of the International Boundary and Water Commission.

The overflow was announced last friday by the International Boundary and Water Commission. On Tuesday, February 28, Mexican authorities finally offered details, although these were scarce.

“At least a notification [of ] would be a good neighborly thing to do, to let us know what was coming down the river before it got here so we could alert the public,” he added.

POR ALEXANDRA MENDOZA

Los efectos de la posible renegociación del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (NAFTA, por sus siglas en inglés) fue el tema central durante un simposio realizado esta semana por el Centro de Estudios de México y Estados Unidos de la Universidad de California en San Diego (UCSD).

El presidente Donald Trump ha insinuado su intención de revocar el acuerdo que fuera firmado en 1994, ya que considera ha perjudicado a la industria manufacturera de Estados Unidos. Si bien es cierto que este rubro ha mostrado un declive en su nómina en los últimos veinte años, analistas lo adjudican en mayor medida a la automatización y uso de nuevas tecnologías.

Durante la conferencia denominada El futuro de la alianza económica de Norteamérica, economistas y autoridades de ambos lados de la frontera, señalaron que la debilitación de este acuerdo comercial afectaría a negocios que dependen de la relación comercial con México.

En presencia, una empresa norteamericana con presencia en los dos países emplea a 25 mil trabajadores en Estados Unidos y cerca de mil 300 en México. Las ventajas de competitividad que ofrece el acuerdo comercial ha propiciado la generación de empleos y se estima que por cada 100 trabajos que estas compañías crean en México, se generan 250 más en la Unión Americana.

En 2014, empresas estadounidenses en México vendieron 292 mil millones de

dólares en mercancías y servicios y dieron empleo a 1.5 millones de trabajadores mexicanos, un aumento significativo si se considera que en 1990, se generaron ventas por 32 mil millones de dólares y 550 mil empleos.

Por otro lado, si Estados Unidos opta por salir del tratado, los más perjudicados serían los consumidores, quienes ahora pagarían más por mercancías y servicios, además de miles de trabajadores que dependen de esta relación comercial, señaló Gordon Hanson, catedrático de UCSD. “Los trabajadores también se verían afectados, los que trabajan en maquiladoras en la frontera enfrentarían menor demanda de trabajo”,

Deportation Causing Concerns

BY ANA GOMEZ SALCIDO

About half of U.S. Hispanics are worried about their deportation or the deportation of someone they know, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of Hispanic adults taken before the presidential inauguration.

About half, 47 percent, of Hispanic adults, regardless of their immigration status, say they worry “a lot” or “somewhat” that they themselves, a family member or a close friend, could be deported, while 52 percent say they are worried “not at all” or “not much.”

Worries about deportation among immigrants are greatest for those who do not hold U.S. citizenship or do not hold a green card: 67 percent say they worry a lot or some about the deportation of themselves or someone close to them. And among immigrants who are lawful permanent residents, 66 percent say they are worried about deportation of themselves or someone close to them. Both of these groups are potentially subject to deportation.

By comparison, one-third of U.S.born Hispanics say they are worried about deportation of someone they know, while 55 percent say they worry not much or not at all about deportation.

These findings emerge from a new, nationally representative bilingual telephone survey of 1,001 Hispanic adults conducted from December 7, 2016, through January 15, 2017, on landline and cellular telephones by SSRS for Pew Research Center.

Also, the Mexican Consulate in San Diego has registered an increase in the number of calls by Mexican nationals worried about family separations by deportation.

“The calls and emails of people wanting to know what to do have increased at the consulate,” said Marcela Celorio, Consul General of the Mexican Consulate General in San Diego. “We as a consulate, have been guiding the people that call about our chain of protection if they want to stay in the United States, but every case is different, and we can’t generalize, it’s important that people reach us out.”

The Mexican Consulate in San Diego has recently guided an estimate of 6,000 people about their worriedness of deportations.

“The reality is that the possibility of having family separations caused by more restrictive immigration measures has our fellow citizens more worried,” the consul said. “We can give the legal support they need and even mental health support through our health stand located inside our facilities.”

The U.S. Hispanic population stood at 57 million in 2015 and is among the nation’s fastest growing groups. It is also a largely U.S.-born population – 66 percent of Hispanics were born here.

Mislabeling Terrorism Doesn't Make Us Safer

he wordsmithing game in Washington, D.C. is a refined art.

From the definition of “is” to what constitutes a recusal, it’s clear that politicians rarely mean what they appear to say.

For years, Republicans bashed President Barack Obama for refusing to use the term “radical Islamic terrorists” when referring to the ongoing war on extremists.

Even Obama’s reference to ISIL, instead of ISIS, became a point of disagreement with Republicans.

Many critics claimed Obama refused to use those three words because he was secretly supporting terrorists, or he was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, or, as other ridiculous conspiracy theories claimed, Obama was a closet Muslim that couldn't call out his own religion as antithetical to American values.

But Obama maintained that he refused to taint an entire world religion of over 1.6 billion followers just because a few thousand radical militant terrorists have used it to justify their slaughter of innocent men, women, and children in various countries.

The effects of a potential renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took center stage at a conference held this week by the Center for U.S.Mexican Studies at UCSD. President Donald Trump has indicated that he intends to revoke the 1994 Agreement, stating that he feels it has been harmful for the U.S. manufacturing economy.

While it is true that this industry has seen a decline in number of people employed over the past 20 years, most of that decline can be attributed to automation and

"might be the 21st Century Army's pre-eminent warrior-thinker".

But, if Trump is determined to use religious terms to define the extreme behavior of terrorists, then he should be consistent and use similar terms for domestic extremists currently threatening the lives of Americans.

In recent months, acts of violence and vandalism have struck fear among African-Americans, Latinos, and, more recently, Jewish communities throughout the country.

The growth of racist groups in the United States in recent years has been studied by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a national organization dedicated to social justice issues. Instead of declining, as they had over the past 30 years, hate groups are on the rise.

Expansion among KKK groups, especially, has alarmed many community leaders that thought the days of racial discrimination were behind us. Hate groups have traditionally attacked along racial lines, but in the past few years, have also struck out against Muslims, ethnic immigrants, and Latinos, regardless of their actual legal status.

The basis for these hate groups has traditionally been white Protestant beliefs, which has

also refusing to use the misguided term when talking about fighting terrorism. Just about every Trump surrogate criticized Clinton for refusing to use the term even though she said eventually relented and used radical jihadism, radical Islamism, and radical terrorism interchangeably.

Donald Trump joyfully used the term every chance he had, and seemed to revel in the way it offended Democrats, liberals, intellectuals, and especially the media, his favorite target.

Trump’s new National Security Advisor, three-star Army General H.R. McMaster, however, recently suggested that using the term “radical Islamic terrorism” only serves to alienate Muslims the U.S. needs to work with to defeat the ideology behind groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, and makes winning the war on terrorism more difficult.

General McMaster even tried to persuade Trump to remove that term from his speech this week to Congress, arguing that terrorists are not representative of Islam.

Not surprisingly, though, Trump used the term in his speech anyway, disregarding the advice of a general named by Time Magazine in 2014 as one of its 100 most influential people in the world, saying he

technological progress, according to analysts.

During the conference, entitled Conversations on the Future of the North American Economic Partnership, economists and agency representatives from both sides of the border agreed that weakening NAFTA would impact industries that depend on trade relations with Mexico. As an example, one of the American companies at the conference has facilities in both countries, employing 25,000 people in the U.S. and about 1,300 in Mexico.

The competitive advantage the trade agreement provides has

allowed business such as this one to create more jobs; it is estimated that for every job created in Mexico, 250 additional jobs are created in the U.S. In 2014, American companies in Mexico sold $292 billion in goods and services, and employed 1.5 million Mexican workers, a significant increase versus 1990, when $32 billion in sales and 550,000 jobs were generated.

Should the United States choose to withdraw from NAFTA, the brunt of the impact would be borne by consumers who would have to pay more for goods and services, as well as by the thousands of workers whose jobs depend on this trade, shared UCSD Professor Gordon Hanson.

“Workers would also be affected.

Those working at maquiladoras, twin manufacturing plants along the border, would face a shrinking job demand,” he stated in closing his presentation. “Something similar would happen on the U.S. side; workers at companies that depend on Mexico as a trade partner would end up with fewer business prospects, lower sales, hiring, and wages”.

David Shirk, Director of the Justice in Mexico Program at the

included violent attacks against Catholics, Jews, blacks, Hispanics, and, increasingly, Muslims.

The KKK has referred to itself as a Christian organization, claiming to preserve a country based on religious principles, even though its hatred clearly doesn't represent Christians in general.

Extremists use their twisted views of Islam to defend their terrorism. That's not what 1.6 billion other Muslims believe.

Similarly, the hate groups that terrorize blacks, Jews, Latinos, and Muslims in the U.S. claim to be Christians, but clearly they don't represent the vast majority of Catholics, Evangelicals, Protestants, and even casual church-goers in America.

But to misuse "radical Islamist terrorists" to refer to extremists is the same as calling the KKK "radical Christian terrorists".

God-fearing Christians everywhere would be just as offended by that term as peaceful Muslims are by the unfair characterization of their religion.

Trump should listen to his highly respected National Security Advisor and modify his language to help make the world safer, not even more dangerous.

Terrorism, in all its forms, is the enemy of us all.

University of San Diego said that in the worst-case scenario, the opportunity for the three NAFTA countries – the U.S., Canada, and Mexico – to continue being the top integrated economic region in the world could be lost.

“We have built this over 20 years, and if we decide to destroy it in the next 4 years, I personally think it would mark the beginning of the end of the United States as the world’s top economic power,” said Dr. Shirk.

In San Diego, it is estimated that cross-border trade creates over $90 billion in annual profits for the binational region.

For Mexican Senator Antonio Rios Piter, the conditions are not set for a renegotiation that would benefit both parties.

“As with any negotiation, there has to be a win-win,” stressed the legislator during the San Diego conference. “I am one of those who has said that it would be better for the United States to just say ‘we’re withdrawing from the Agreement’ and for us to be protected by the World Trade Organization, than to play along with someone who has continuously shown not only a horrendous hostility, but also wants to undo things for the benefit of only one of the parties to an agreement that has evidently been positive for both sides.”

San Diego Operations Against Drug Cartels

BY MARINEE ZAVALA

As the fight against drugs in San Diego and its surrounding waters has intensified in recent months, the seizure of hundreds of tons of drugs has become an everyday occurrence according to Coast Guard commanders.

In 2016, 188 tons of cocaine were seized during a historic series of joint operations in U.S. and Latin American waters, and 32 additional tons of cocaine were seized just months later, for a total value of nearly $1.5 billion, putting the

training of the thousands of U.S. Coast Guard elements to the test.

“In the past weeks alone, the Coast Guard has seized 12 tons of cocaine; these are no longer isolated events, for every three months, we are recovering 12 to 30 tons of cocaine,” informed San Diego Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Paul Zukunft.

The strategies to combat drug trafficking must be in constant innovation and carried out with extreme care, as members of organized crime seek to deliver more drugs from South America to the U.S.

To combat organized crime, the San Diego Coast Guard works in coordination with 41 other nations, some of which lack an army or armed forces to protect their people against criminals, others in need of reinforcement and quality approaches to counterattack drug cartel leaders.

“This job never changes, it’s always the same. We try to do more and to do it better, anything to stop drugs from entering the United States,” shared San Diego Coast Guard Assistant Commander Jose Maldonado.

The Commander said he will be meeting with the President of Colombia in the coming weeks to discuss tactics to fight drug CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Afrontan Retos Fronterizos

POR MARINEE ZAVALA

El comité de fronteras de la Asociación de Gobiernos de San Diego (SANDAG, por sus siglas en inglés) ya cuenta con un nuevo presidente, que junto a representantes de toda la región de San Diego, el condado de Orange, Riverside, representantes de 17 gobiernos de tribus indias y delegados del país de México, colaboran para planear e identificar los retos de una de las zonas económicas y comerciales más grandes en el mundo.

El extremo sur de California con México, hasta hoy, cuenta con importantes planes que incluyen la agilización de los cruces, infraestructura en puertos fronterizos, mejoras en la calidad del aire e iniciativas que mejoren el panorama de la zona, temas que por años se han planteado para acrecentar los intercambios comerciales y la llegada segura de más ciudadanos en ambos lados de la frontera. “[Un] ejemplo de los proyectos y mejoras que implementamos son en las garitas, intercambiamos información con Aduanas y Protección

Fronteriza. Como gobierno regional, también tenemos la iniciativa para construir una nueva garita y fue SANDAG, junto al departamento de transporte, quienes fuimos los principales promotores de la nueva garita, nosotros tomamos la iniciativa y la carga financiera hasta este momento”, informó Héctor Vanegas, coordinador de programas fronterizos en SANDAG. Serge Dedina, alcalde de Imperial Beach, fue designado como el nuevo presidente del comité de fronteras de SANDAG, esto por el supervisor del condado y presidente de la mesa directiva del cabildo regional Ron Roberts. Esto por el largo trabajo de Dedina en temas fronterizos contra las políticas de militarización de la frontera y las necesidades de su comunidad en San Diego y Baja California.

“En Washington D.C. y la Ciudad de México están un poco alejados de la realidad de la zona fronteriza. Por mi parte, ya tuve una reunión con el alcalde de Tijuana, recientemente tendremos con Rosarito, Ensenada y Tecate, donde buscaremos mejorar la calidad de vida en ambos lados y sobre todo puntos donde realmente necesitamos trabajar con México”, señaló Dedina.

El coordinador de programas fronterizos de SANDAG destacó el trabajo que este comité realiza desde hace 15 años, donde se tiene relación con el resto de la región y se trabaja en su unión mes con mes, todo sin necesidad de aislarse desde su primer reunión durante el mes de febrero del año 2002.

“Preferimos tomar la iniciativa para construir garitas como la de Otay II u Otay Mesa East por ejemplo, porque la región la necesita para ser más competitiva”, agregó Vanegas.

La siguiente reunión del comité de fronteras de Sandag se espera tenga lugar el próximo 24 de marzo.

Como muchos de nosotros, Sabina WidmannHernández no pudo predecir en su juventud que ella estaría trabajando en su profesión actual.

"Cuando yo era joven quería trabajar en la conservación y salvar al mundo", dijo WidmannHernández a La Prensa San Diego. "Yo era un idealista".

Sabina Widmann-Hernández funge como vicepresidenta, gerente general, y directora de ventas de las estaciones de Univision en el mercado de San Diego, campo lejano de sus sueños de la infancia, pero no un territorio desconocido.

Al crecer, la madre de Widmann-Hernández trabajó para una filial de CBS Radio en la ciudad de Nueva York, mientras que su padre trabajaba en la publicidad.

"Crecí como niña de radio. Me tocó conocer a los locutores e ir a conciertos, pero también vi el trabajo duro que detrás de escenas, así como la diversión y la emoción de trabajar en la radio.

Siempre pensé que iba a hacer algo muy diferente, como salvar el mundo", compartió Widmann Hernández.

"Mi madre tuvo una gran experiencia en la radio y se encontró con personas increíbles que eran como una familia", continuó WidmannHernández. "La publicidad y la radio reúnen a gente que es un poco diferente y abstracta para poder entretener y retener la atención del público".

Widmann-Hernández comenzó sus estudios superiores entrando a la carrera de conservación en el Dickinson College de Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Durante sus años de universidad, ella fue capaz de estudiar en el extranjero, el cual utilizó para su ventaja para afilar su uso del español.

"Vivir y estudiar en el extranjero, sin duda cambió mi vida", dijo Widmann-Hernández.

"Estaba viviendo en Málaga, España mientras como parte de un programa de inmersión. Y luego, fui a América Latina en el otoño de 1992.

Yo estaba con la Escuela de Entrenamiento Internacional en Ecuador. También tuve la oportunidad de trabajar con incubadoras de pescado a pequeña escala en Costa Rica en la Universidad de Costa Rica en San José a través de la Universidad de Kansas.”

Widmann-Hernández se recibió de Dickinson College con una licenciatura en antropología con menores en biología y español. Poco después de graduarse en la primavera de 1994 WidmannHernández entró en un programa de maestría en los asuntos marinos y la pesca en la Universidad de Washington. Sus estudios la llevaron a Baja California, donde completó su tesis sobre la conservación de pesquería a pequeña escala mientras trabajaba como parte de sus estudios.

En Baja California, Sabina se reuniría una persona que cambiaría su vida para siempre.

"Ahí conocí a Adán Hernández, quien sería mi futuro marido, hace 20 años. Él era guía de excursiones de avistamiento de ballenas", recordó.

Sabina y Adán eventualmente se trasladaron hasta San Diego, donde ella comenzó a trabajar junto a varias ONGs que buscan tener un impacto positivo. Sin embargo, ella comenzó a pensar otra carrera, ya que pensaba pensando en lo que le esperaba en la conservación.

"El océano es mi gran pasión, pero me di cuenta que yo quería algo diferente porque sabía que iba a terminar como un ejecutivo en un cuarto trasero. Yo sabía que iba a ver una gran cantidad de temas de recursos humanos y que tendría que aplacar a la junta de directores. Sentí que debia entrar a ventas", comentó Widmann-Hernández.

El primer capítulo de la política económica está relacionado con la producción de bienes primarios –mineros, agrícolas y pecuarios-, con ellos se aseguran aspectos como la sobrevivencia de la población, la construcción de vivienda e infraestructura, la seguridad de la soberanía y la capacidad para proveer y desarrollar otros renglones del sistema económico como son producción industrial, la generación de servicios y el desarrollo de tecnología.

Los pensadores de la Escuela de la Fisiocracia del siglo XVIII, consideraban que la tierra era el único factor que generaba riqueza, al tiempo que las demás áreas de producción dependían de él.

La riqueza de una nación se medía por su capacidad de producción de alimentos para consumo interno y la posibilidad de generar excedentes para la exportación, resultado de ventajas competitivas derivadas de circunstancias geoestratégicas (límites geográficos, rutas marítimas, sindicatos de productores, y consumidores).

Las regiones que fueron parte del dominio español, destacadamente las iberoamericanas, fueron privilegiadas solo en la producción de bienes que incrementaran la riqueza de la Corona como la extracción de minerales -oro y plata- y producciones agrícolas como el azúcar, el tabaco y el maíz.

Ese patrón subsistió en México por más de 500 años, y es hasta entrado el siglo XX en el que las cosas empiezan a cambiar con el reparto de grandes territorios ociosos acaparados por la iglesia y paralelamente la introducción de acciones orientadas a la diversificación y fortalecimiento de la producción agrícola; al menos en el discurso oficial. Pero también es cierto que poco se puede esperar de un sector en el que incomprensiblemente sólo el 30 por ciento del territorio es apto para las actividades agrícolas eficientes. El territorio se divide en enormes desiertos en el norte y superficies selváticas en el sur, con un reducido corredor productivo que se limita a algunas regiones en las que se ha podido contar una incipiente infraestructura hidráulica.

En contraste, el territorio de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica es muy productivo, la tecnificación ha permitido abatir los rendimientos decrecientes que caracterizan al sector agrícola permitiendo la generación de importantes excedentes que cubren su demanda interna y genera excedentes que se exportan a muchas regiones en el planeta fuente de inmensas ganancias.

Por eso el tema agrícola, en el horizonte de las nuevas relaciones MéxicoNorteamericanas en lugar de ser un dolor de cabeza y materia de controversias y conflictos, abre la posibilidad

La necesidad de generar más espacios donde familias trabajadoras y de escasos recursos habiten en la región crece cada día más en el Estado de California. El alto costo de la vivienda en San Diego ha elijan mudarse a la ciudad de Tijuana en México, para poder sostener un espacio digno para vivir.

El último estudio del Centro de Iniciativas Políticas (CPI, por sus siglas en inglés) reveló que en el condado de San Diego para pagar la renta de un espacio para una sola persona adulta es necesario cubrir al mes un costo promedio de 1,060 dólares, mientras que para pagar una vivienda por dos adultos y tres menores de edad, será necesario pagar una renta mensual de 2 mil 21 dólares, un monto prácticamente imposible para alguien que gana

el salario mínimo en la región.

En la zona de Encanto, esperan utilizar un estacionamiento en una parada del Trolley como parte de la solución de vivienda y para dar un lugar digno para habitar a un promedio de 67 familias.

“Realmente es una crisis de vivienda la que se vive en San Diego. Estamos tratando de hacer un poquito para ayudar a la gente y es importante que puedan vivir cerca del Trolley, esto para evitar que tengan que pagar por un carro para ir al trabajo”, señaló Mario Turner, Vicepresidente de desarrollo de AMCAL. El proyecto, aseguran, no solo permitirá a familias trabajadoras sin un historial criminal y con un crédito aceptable adquirir una vivienda, sino también contar con un estacionamiento para los residentes y para quienes utilicen el tren ligero como punto de

escala, y así muchos puedan dejar su vehículo sin costo en el estacionamiento y tomar el tren ligero.

“Los beneficios también son para quienes usan el transporte y quieren ir a [al centro de San Diego]. Ellos pueden usar el transporte público y no tienen que preocuparse por el tráfico, que es un gran problema en estos días.

El trolley es un servicio con una red inmensa y tenemos a mucha gente que usa el Trolley como escala, dejan su auto en el estacionamiento y luego usan el tren”, dijo Harry Mathis, miembro de la mesa directiva del Sistema de Transporte Metropolitano de San Diego.

Este proyecto esperan esté terminado para el verano del año 2018. Para mayores informes, puede ingresar a www.amcalhousing.com.

A unas cuantas semanas de que el presidente de Estados Unidos anunciara su postura para subir los aranceles a quienes buscan realizar exportaciones a la Unión Americana, la Universidad de California en San Diego (UCSD, por sus siglas en inglés) desafió una vez más a las políticas federales y realizó la primer conferencia nacional para emprendedores, cual busca unir talentos para continuar con el comercio transfronterizo.

"Tenemos una cantidad enorme de talento que necesitamos inspirar y darles las herramientas para que puedan alcanzar el máximo impacto posible. Esta conferencia es una oportunidad para demostrarles el acercamiento que existe y para que se conecten con personas que puedan invertir en sus ideas", informó Rubén Flores-Saaib, director de la oficina de innovación y comercialización en UCSD. En las aulas y salones del campus universitario, más de 300 estudiantes de Baja California y 300 del condado de San Diego, se unieron para escuchar la perspectiva de 90 empresarios exitosos, ciudadanos latinos y norteamericanos que aprovecharon las oportunidades del entorno y decidieron ir más allá.

Edgardo, hijo de padres mexicanos y salvadoreños, quien a pocos años de egresar, se atrevió a emprender y hoy es fundador de una empresa dedicada a la venta de herramientas científicas de realidad virtual.

“Hay cosas difíciles todo el tiempo, muchos obstáculos, pero con un buen equipo todo se puede, yo los invito a que experimenten, porque así uno

descubre en dónde quiere poner su tiempo, cuando yo estaba en la universidad, no sabía exactamente lo que quería hacer, yo sólo sabía que era la tecnología, pero experimentando se pueden agarrar becas con Google, National Geographic y diferentes compañías que ofrecen oportunidades a estudiantes”, señaló Edgardo Leija, fundador de Nanome.

Hoy, los estudiantes se encuentran en la incertidumbre sobre los beneficios reales de invertir en proyectos transfronterizos, ya que temen las amenazas del presidente y sus políticas, y cómo éstas puedan afectar la serie de proyectos que buscan emprender.

“Si estamos algo preocupados por los factores que ahorita se generan, están pasando muchas cosas en la política en Estados Unidos, que nos puede afectar a nosotros como país, o nos puede quitar oportunidades que teníamos antes”, dijo Jaqueline Prado, estudiante de negocios internacionales en la ciudad de Tijuana.

Sin embargo, los docentes aún ven con buenos ojos el desarrollo de la economía en la región Cali-Baja, la cual por años ha sido valorada en billones de dólares anuales.

Se hizo mención de los costos de inversión, los cuales suelen ser transparentes, por lo que se espera sigan funcionando de forma regular.

“Con la excepción de alguna tarifa que se imponga, no tendrán problema, porque las cuestiones de emprendedores son unas cuestiones muy tempranas en el desarrollo del negocio y es el aspecto que estamos tratando de promover aquí”, agregó Rúben Flores-Saaib.

Surprises at the Academy Awards POR DIANA RODRIGUEZ

Last Sunday night, history was made, and not because of a misplaced envelope.

The 89th Annual Academy Awards took place Sunday, February 26th at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood and Highland Center in Los Angeles. It was televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.

History was made when “Moonlight” became the first film with an entirely African American cast to win the Best Picture Award. The movie had also the lowest film budget, only $1.6 million, in comparison with other nominees such as “La La Land”, with a $30 million budget, or “Arrival”, with a $47 million, budget.

Jimmy Kimmel, this year’s host, targeted Donald Trump with some jokes , taking advantage of the power of social media, by tweeting directly at him while onstage.

A night full of memorable moments, social unity and emotional speeches, led to a pro freedom of speech event, in which Mexican actor Gael García stated that “as a Mexican, as a Latin American, as a migrant worker, as a human being, I’m against any form of wall that wants to separate us,” making the most of his time on stage, to address the audience and viewers from all over the world, representing the Latino community's feel about the President’s plan of dividing both countries.

“La La Land” earned 14 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Song and Actor and Actress nods for Ryan and Emma, having the most Oscar nominations of all time, equaling “Titanic” and “All About Eve” record winning six Oscars, including best director. It was definitely Damien Chazelle’s night, being the youngest filmmaker in history earning the award. He thanked his

fellows nominees, his wife and John Legend, who performed both nominated for Best Original Song, “City of Stars and Audition (The Fools Who Dream)”, as part of the performances for all the nominated songs, where Justin Timberlake, Sting, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Auli’I Cravalho took the stage as well.

A new favorite section came to screen when actors like Charlize Theron, Javier Bardem and Seth Rogen, narrated how cinema and a particular movie changed their lives, by getting inspired from the actors in it, walking together through stage to present category nominees, where Shirley McLaine, Meryl Streep and Michael J. Fox were honored with standing ovations.

An acceptance speech caused a strong round of applause and smiles between the audience, when Kevin O’Connell, winner for Best Sound Mixing thanked his mother by saying “Thirty

nine years ago, my mother got me a job in sound and when I asked her how could I ever thank her, she said ‘you can work really hard and then someday you will win yourself an Oscar and stand on that stage to thank me in front of the whole world.’”

“Moonlight” won with three awards: Best Supporting Actor, given to Mahershala Ali, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Picture. This film is the first LGBTQ movie to win the Oscar, sending an important message to the film industry about embracing inclusive stories, in order to remain relevant.

“Moonlight”, written and directed by Barry Jenkins, centers around the life of Chiron across three defining chapters of his life, starting out as a young black man growing up in turbulent Miami, it follows his ongoing struggles with his sexuality and unstable family life through his teenage years and into manhood making a deep

inspection into finding himself.

Jenkins worked closely with award-winning playwright Tarrell Alvin McCraney, who wrote a sketch of the play “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue” while in drama school. The play was deeply personal to him, and as it turned out, to Jenkins too. They both grew up in the Liberty City neighborhood of Miami, the same place as their characters. Both of their mothers were addicts and HIV-positive, like the protagonist’s mother. Jenkins is straight, McCraney is gay, and while the play wasn’t published or produced, Jenkins ran across it and thought it would make a great film.

When it comes to speaking from the heart, Viola Davis excels at it. During her acceptance speech for her performance in Fences, Davis offered an ode to artists by stating that they are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life.

Housing Project Coming to Encanto POR MARINEE ZAVALA

The need to create more spaces where working and resource-poor families can live in the region grows more and more in the State of California. With the high cost of housing in San Diego, many choose to move to the city of Tijuana, Mexico to be able to sustain a space worthy to live.

In San Diego County, the latest study provided by the Center for Policy Initiatives revealed that to pay rent for a single adult, it is necessary to cover an average cost of $1,060 a month, while paying a home for two adults and three minors, it will be necessary to pay a monthly fee of $2,021, an amount practically impossible for someone who earns the minimum wage in the region.

In Encanto, a parking lot near the 62nd Street Trolley stop is expected to be used as part of the solution for creating affordable housing

for 67 low-income families.

"There really is a housing crisis that lives in San Diego", said Mario Turner, Vice President of Development for AMCAL. The project will not only allow working families without a criminal record and with an acceptable credit to buy a home, but also have a parking lot for residents and for those who use the trolley as a stopover point.

"The benefits are for those who use public transportation and want to head to Downtown San Diego. They can use public transportation and do not have to worry about traffic, which is a big problem these days. The trolley is a service counts with an immense network", said Harry Mathis, board member of the Metropolitan Transit System of San Diego.

This project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2018. For more information, you can log on to www. amcalhousing.com.

Widmann-Hernández entró en Clear Channel Communications Inc., ahora iHeartCommunications INC, como agente de ventas. Cerca de un año después de entrar en las ventas de radio, Widmann-Hernández fue buscada por gente de Univision Radio.

"Me reuní con la gente de Univision y Univision reúne mi pasión por la radio y por América Latina, al igual que mi pasión por las ventas, la educación, el entretenimiento, contribuir al crecimiento de las empresas locales, y empoderar al radioescucha", dijo Widmann-Hernández.

Al llegar a Univision,

Sabina se sintió como en casa.

"Yo tenía poco en ventas, pero comencé a vender un producto en el que yo creía.

Escucho la música en nuestras estaciones y he visto la radio ser un punto de pasión para muchos de mis familiares en México", ella explicó.

En 2012, WidmannHernández ascendió a ser directora de ventas, y en agosto de 2015, asumió su cargo actual de vicepresidenta, gerente general, y directora de ventas de las estaciones de Univision en el mercado de San Diego.

Widmann-Hernández cerró la entrevista al compartir su punto de vista positivo sobre

el estado de la radio y su relación con los radioescuchas.

"Creo que la radio es más grande ahora de lo que era cuando yo estaba creciendo en Nueva York", destacó.

"Para mí, fue muy divertido escuchar música en la radio.

Pero para muchos de nuestros radioescuchas, nuestra programación de radio en español y nuestras personalidades al aire puede servir como una conexión clave para volver a un lugar que se extraña; esto es algo que pueden no conseguir esto en otras estaciones, especialmente aquellas en inglés ".

law before someone can sue a public entity.

In two previous La Prensa San Diego articles, the terminated employee has been identified as Enrique Gonzalez. Gonzalez had only been a district employee for a month when he was terminated. After his termination, Gonzalez became the COO of La Prensa San Diego.

Within weeks of his firing, but before he could file a formal tort claim, the District negotiated a “separation agreement” with Gonzalez in an effort to fend off a formal claim that would expose Fonseca’s misdeeds. The agreement was not approved by the school board.

Three Trustees have confirmed to La Prensa San Diego that no formal vote was taken to approve the agreement. Even without a vote, however, Fonseca authorized the payment to Gonzalez.

“Simply put, Fonseca was buying Whistleblower's silence in order to protect Fonseca's job and reputation,” the lawsuit claims.

La Prensa San Diego first reported the seemingly illegal payment on February 6, 2017.

Although the payment was made in May 2016, the true nature of the District’s actions to conceal the agreement were not known until January 2017.

The lack of a formal vote by the Board of Trustees meant that the agreement, and subsequent payment, were not disclosed to the public at the time they were made. The District also did not forward the case to the County Office of Education’s self-insured risk pool, which would have asked for backup documentation to justify the settlement payment.

“To minimize the potential that his intimate sexual relationship with Rodriguez would become publicly known, Fonseca used the authority of his office as SYSD's superintendent to cover up his malfeasance as a

public official,” the SanDOG lawsuit claims.

During the past two weeks, after news of the illegal payment became public, Board of Trustee President Rosaleah Pallasigue has continued to defend Fonseca.

“As the Board President, I can confidently state that Dr. Fonseca is completely transparent with the board in all aspects and keeps the board fully informed,” Pallasigue wrote in an open letter posted on the District’s Facebook page on February 16.

Two of Pallasigue’s fellow Trustees, however, have emailed her stressing that her letter should not speak for the entire Board. No board action was taken to authorize the open letter on behalf of the Board of Trustees. It appears Pallasigue’s letter only stated her own opinion, but it gave the appearance of a Board united behind Fonseca.

The lawsuit filed this week alleges Fonseca violated his legal duties under Penal Code Section 424, Government Code Section 8314, Code of Civil Procedure Sections 526 and 1060, and the California Constitution, among other provisions of law pertaining to the misuse of public funds.

A case decided by the California Supreme Court last year held former Beverly Hills Superintendent Jeffrey Hubbard criminally liable under Penal Code Section 424, on the grounds that he used his position as superintendent to direct the payroll department to increase the compensation of a female employee, without obtaining the governing board's approval of the increase.

“There is no meaningful distinction between what the defendant in Hubbard was convicted of doing and what Fonseca did in order to buy Whistleblower's silence,” the lawsuit claims.

In that case, Hubbard was sentenced to 60 days in jail, three years' probation, paid a $6,000 fine, and was ordered

to return the $23,500 in unapproved payments he had made to a subordinate.

For his part, Fonseca has maintained he did not inappropriately hire any employee, yet his claim is based on his assertion he did not have a relationship with Rodriguez until after he hired her. That claim, however, has been disputed

by Gonzalez and several District officials.

Fonseca claims he did not have an exclusive personal relationship with Rodriguez until February 2016.

“The Superintendent clearly knew he was doing something wrong by not telling the Board of Trustees that he was sleeping with a woman he recommended for hire,” Briggs said.

The illegality of the payment hinges both on the fact the Board never voted to approve the agreement, and that it doesn't appear there was a valid claim for damages in the first place.

“Against the board's directive, he spent at least $113,433 to cover up behavior he knew was inappropriate,” Briggs said.

“The cover-up is always worse than the crime.”

Briggs and SanDOG have sued several other local governmental agencies on behalf of taxpayers in recent years.

In 2014, SanDOG successfully overturned a hotel tax passed to fund the expansion of San Diego’s Convention Center. The Court of Appeals throw out the tax as unconstitutional and in violation of the City’s Charter.

More recently, SanDOG joined Sweetwater Union High School District to sue contractors that had participated in a wide-ranging corruption scheme that led to the indictment of 15 individuals. SanDOG helped recover $8.5 million from three former contractors.

In this lawsuit, SanDOG is suing Fonseca individually, not in his official capacity.

DEPORTES Curt Onalfo: Triunfador de la Vida Repaso El nuevo técnico del LA Galaxy aplica su experiencia de vencer al cáncer para contagiar a sus jugadores de un espíritu combativo

D

Deportivo TRAGENSE ESOS SALUDITOS POR SAMUEL LÓPEZ

POR LEÓN BRAVO

irigir al equipo con más títulos en la historia de la MLS sería una presión muy grande para muchos, pero no para Curt

Onalfo.

"Para mí es un orgullo, un honor”, dijo el técnico del LA Galaxy, quien desde muy joven debió aprender a luchar contra situaciones en las que la propia vida está en juego.

A la edad de 24 años, cuando su carrera de futbolista estaba por llegar a su pleno apogeo, Onalfo recibió un golpe de los que muy pocos se recuperan.

Un diagnóstico de linfoma hizo que el hombre nacido en Brasil entendiera que para conseguir cualquier meta hay que luchar contra la adversidad.

“El cáncer me hizo una persona mucho más fuerte porque entendí que nunca debes dejar de pelear por lo que más quieres”, dijo el estratega que desde muy pequeño llegó a vivir a Estados Unidos.

Onalfo disfrutó una carrera de ocho años como jugador profesional en un recorrido que lo llevó a participar en equipos Francia, México, y Estados Unidos.

Tras retirarse de las canchas, Onalfo comenzó de inmediato a prepararse como técnico.

Su carrera de estratega la inició como asistente técnico en el D.C. United y de 2002 a 2006 trabajó como asistente de Bruce Arena en la

selección de Estados Unidos.

De 2007 a 2009, Onalfo dirigió al equipo de Kansas City en la MLS y en 2010 al D.C United para después llegar al LA Galaxy como asistente de Arena y encargado del equipo de reservas.

La incansable dedicación con la que sirvió en la trinchera del equipo angelino hizo que Onalfo viva hoy el más grande de sus sueños.

"Soy el entrenador de la franquicia más importante de la MLS y eso me llena de satisfacción”, dijo el técnico que habla un perfecto español.

"No soy ningún improvisado, tengo 17 años preparándome para este momento, he trabajado mucho para recibir esta oportunidad”, comentó.

DEBUT A LA VISTA

A sus 47 años de edad, Onalfo es un hombre de gran vitalidad al que le gusta trotar unas cuantas millas

después de dirigir cada uno de los entrenamientos del su equipo.

En la banca, el estratega del LA Galaxy es una persona extrovertida que goza expresar la pasión que siente por el deporte que le ha dado todo en la vida.

“Me gusta que exista disciplina dentro del equipo, pero también soy un tipo de entrenador al que le importa mucho relacionarse muy bien con sus jugadores”, explicó.

“Yo respaldo a mis jugadores en cualquier situación que se presente porque yo sé que de esa manera ellos responderán mucho mejor a lo que yo le pida en la cancha”, aseveró.

Onalfo aseguró no sentir presión alguna por ser el sucesor de Bruce Arena, el técnico que en tres ocasiones llevó al Galaxy a ganar la Copa MLS. "Este es un gran reto para mí porque yo sé que la gente va esperar que le entregue buenos resultados y campeonatos”, admitió el estratega del Galaxy que el sábado abre la temporada 2017 de la MLS recibiendo al equipo de Dallas.

"Quiero que mi equipo refleje mi personalidad. Quiero juegue de manera ofensiva y espectacular para seguir aumentando las estrellas alrededor de nuestro escudo”, aseguró Onalfo.

"Estoy trabajando muy fuerte para que este equipo siga ganando campeonatos”, dijo el entrenador que a la vida ya le ganó el más difícil de los partidos.

TATIANA A F1

El equipo Sauber de la Fórmula Uno informó que la colombiana Tatiana Calderón es parte del nuevo equipo de pilotos para la temporada 2017.

Tatiana, empezó a manejar karts a los nueve años y compitió en la serie GP3 la temporada pasada. Sauber dijo que seguirá manejando en la GP3 además de desempeñarse como piloto de desarrollo del equipo de F1.

Los pilotos de Sauber para esta temporada de la F1 son Marcus Ericsson y Pascal Wehrlein.

“Tenemos la capacidad y la oportunidad para ofrecer a Tatiana una plataforma profesional en la que pueda desarrollar su conocimiento y talento en el automovilismo”, dijo Monisha Kaltenborn, directora del Equipo Sauber.

Antonio Giovinazzi reemplazó a Wehrlein en las pruebas de pretemporada esta semana en Barcelona mientras el alemán se recupera de una lesión de espalda.

Con esto, la colombiana abre un nuevo horizonte de oportunidad para las mujeres que quieran ser parte del deporte motor.

Saúl “Canelo" Álvarez y Julio César Chávez Jr. dejaron caliente el cuadrilátero tras la gira de cinco días que los llevó a recorrer 4,500 millas para promocionar su combate.

Los peleadores mexicanos más populares del momento chocarán guantes el 6 de mayo en el T-Mobile de Las Vegas para de esa manera saciar la sed de los aficionados que por mucho tiempo han pedido ver este pleito.

Durante la gira promocional que los llevó a Nueva York, Ciudad de México, Houston y Los Ángeles, "Canelo" y Chávez Jr. se enfrascaron en un fuerte duelo de declaraciones.

La confrontación verbal llegó a tal grado que un momento de ofuscación, el pelirrojo de Guadalajara se animó a apostar con el hijo de la leyenda del boxeo mexicano la bolsa que

Chávez Jr. aceptó la apuesta, pero después fue su padre quien se encargó de romper el compromiso.

"No me parece ético que se apuesten las bolsas que cada

uno va a ganar por la pela, no estoy de acuerdo con eso”, dijo Julio César Chávez en el programa Nacional de ESPN Deportes.

El "Canelo", quien se encontraba en la misma

emisión televisiva, accedió a deshacer la apuesta que había cruzado con Chávez Jr. “Cancelo la apuesta por el respeto que le tengo a usted, pero nada más por eso”, le dijo “Canelo" a quien es

considerado el mejor exponente en la historia del boxeo mexicano.

El tapatío también mostró su enojo al enterarse que en la conferencia de “prensa ofrecida en la ciudad de Los Ángeles, Chávez Jr. aseguró que está utilizando a "Canelo" para ganar la mayor bolsa de dinero en su carrera profesional.

"Chávez Jr. le está faltando al respeto al boxeo al decir que me está utilizando para ganar la mayor bolsa de su carrera”, reaccionó "Canelo".

"Es una falta de respeto para él, pare el boxeo y para sus fans decir que me está utilizando. Yo le di esta oportunidad a Chávez Jr. porque hay una rivalidad entre los dos que ya va para ocho años y creo que este es el momento exacto para hacer esta pelea, si no se hace ahora no se hace nunca”, apuntó.

Xolos Busca Alargar Racha Ante Pachuca La jauría recibe en el Estadio Caliente a un equipo de Pachuca que nunca ha podido ganar en Tijuana POR LEÓN BRAVO

Los Xolos de Tijuana tratarán de extender el dominio que mantienen sobre Pachuca cuando ambos equipos se enfrenten el viernes en la cancha del Estadio Caliente.

Desde que arribó a la primera división, el cuadro fronterizo ha sumado cuatro triunfos y un empate en las cinco ocasiones que ha recibido la visita de los Tuzos.

Los Xolos llegarán al duelo de la jornada nueve del Torneo Clausura 2017 situados en el segundo lugar de la tabla general al acumular 16 puntos.

"Queremos seguir ganado en nuestra casa para continuar por el buen camino”, dijo el técnico de los Xolos Miguel Herrera.

Aunque las estadísticas ante su rival en turno están de su lado, el estratega de la escuadra canina dijo que su equipo debe enfrentar a los Tuzos con mucho respeto “Pachuca tiene un gran plantel y seguro vendrá con todo por lo que debemos mantener el orden para saber manejar el partido”, comentó Herrera.

La semana pasada,Tijuana venció 2-0 a Rayados de Monterrey para de esa manera romper una corta cadena de dos

partidos sin ganar.

Los Xolos recibirán a unos Tuzos que ganaron su anterior partido al vencer 1-0 a los Tiburones Rojos del Veracruz para de esa manera ascender al cuarto lugar de la clasificación con 14 puntos.

Tijuana y Pachuca se han enfrentado en 11 ocasiones y el expediente histórico favorece al conjunto canino que suma cuatro triunfos, tres empates y tres derrotas.

Los Xolos de Tijuana buscarán ganar su partido ante Pachuca para poder escalar a la cima de la clasificación general del Torneo Clausura 2017.

El Tío Gamboín era un personaje de la televisión mexicana que en la década de los 1970 atrapó la atención de los niños por dedicarse a enviar saludos entre corte y corte de la programación de caricaturas que transmitía el Canal 5.

Encender el aparato telereceptor cada tarde para mandar mensajes a mis amigos de la escuela era uno de mis actos rutinarios para entretenerme después de haber cumplido con mi tarea.

Mis compañeros de clase hacían lo mismo al mandarme saludar a través de telefonemas que una secretaria transcribía en pequeños pedazos de papel para que el Tío Gamboín los leyera al aire.

“León manda saludar a su amigo Arturo y le dice que por favor no se le olvide llevarle a la escuela los tres pesos que le prestó hoy”.

“Carlos manda saludar a Léon y le pide que por favor lleve su balón para poder jugar futbol en el recreo”.

Esos eran, más o menos, los recaditos que entre amigos nos mandábamos con el Tío Gamboín, personaje a quien utilizabamos como una especie de red social en un época en que los conceptos de Facebook y el Twitter no habían sido ni siquiera concebidos.

Cuando se tiene siete u ocho años de edad, escuchar saludos por la televisión es una emoción grande y hasta divertida, pero cuando se tienen más de 50 años, es una situación desesperante.

Resulta que los cronistas de fútbol de las cadenas hispanas se han convertido en algo así como la resurrección del Tío Gamboín y eso me está sacando de mis cabales.

Los encargados de narrar y analizar las jugadas de los partidos que quiero disfrutar por televisión han entrado en una competencia para ver quién de ellos recibe más twits o mensajes por Facebook.

No hay juego de fútbol sin que los cronistas de Univision, Telemundo o TV Azteca se pongan a leer las decenas, si no es que centenares, de mensajes que, dicen ellos, les llegan durante las transmisiones.

al legendario corredor de 31 años en la agencia libre no significa necesariamente que abandonará el equipo, pero Peterson deberá estar dispuesto a aceptar una disminución considerable en su salario para permanecer en la institución que lo trajo a la NFL en 2007.

Peterson sólo disputó los primeros tres partidos de la campaña 2016 debido a una lesión en la rodilla, que lo alejó de los emparrillados el resto del año, por lo que sus condiciones físicas deberán ser algo a tomar en cuenta para cualquier franquicia interesada en hacerse de sus servicios.

En la historia de la NFL, solamente 46 corredores arriba de los 30 años han podido superar mil yardas terrestres en una temporada, por lo que los equipos en búsqueda de Peterson, deberán tomar en cuenta que los mejores años del estelar deportista podrían ya formar parte del pasado.

DURANT CAUSA BAJA Fue una semana complicada para Kevin Durant de los Golden State Warriors. El pasado martes el basquetbolista sufrió un esguince de ligamento y una contusión en la tibia en el encuentro donde su equipo perdió 112 a 108 ante los Wizards de Washington.

preocupado por su deportación o la de alguien cercano a ellos. Las personas de cualquiera de estos tres grupos mencionados pueden ser deportados. En comparación, un 33 por ciento de los hispanos nacidos en Estados Unidos dijo que está preocupado porque alguna persona que conocen sea deportada, mientras que el 55 por ciento dijo que no les preocupan las deportaciones.

Estos son los resultados de un nuevo sondeo realizado de forma bilingüe a través de teléfonos de casa o celulares a 1,001 adultos hispanos entre el 7 de diciembre del 2016 y el 15 de enero del 2017 por parte del SSRS del Centro de Investigación Pew. Por otra parte, el Consulado de México en San Diego ha registrado un incremento en el número de llamadas por parte de connacionales mexicanos sobre las separaciones de familia por las deportaciones.

“Las llamadas y los correos electrónicos para saber que hacer se han incrementado”, comentó Marcela Celorio, cónsul general del Consulado de México en San Diego.

“Nosotros como consulado hemos estado orientando a las personas sobre nuestra cadena de protección si se quieren quedar en Estados Unidos, pero cada caso es distinto y no podemos generalizar, por eso es importante que vayan con nosotros”.

El Consulado de México en San Diego recientemente ha ayudado a alrededor de 6,000 personas con información sobre sus preocupaciones por las deportaciones.

“La realidad es que la posible separación por medidas migratorias más restrictivas es lo que tiene a los connacionales más angustiados”, comentó. “Lo que hace el consulado es darle las herramientas legales y a nivel de salud mental a través de la ventanilla de salud establecida dentro del consulado”.

La población hispana de Estados Unidos incluyó a 57 millones de personas en el 2015, y es uno de los grupos que más ha crecido en la nación. También es la población que más ha crecido por nacimientos, ya que el 66 por ciento de este sector, nació en el país.

Entre los hispanos que hay en el país pero que nacieron fuera de la nación, casi 3 de cada 10 son residentes permanentes, y alrededor de cuatro de cada 10 son inmigrantes indocumentados. Al mismo tiempo, el incremento de la población hispana se ha frenado un poco en los últimos años, y ahora se debe más a personas nacidas dentro del país, en lugar de por personas que llegan a este país.

family to me growing up,” Widmann-Hernandez continued. “Advertising and radio bring together people who are a bit different and kind of abstract working to entertain and engage people.”

Widmann-Hernandez got her start in entering her dream job in conservation as an undergrad at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. During her college years, she was able to study abroad, which she used to her advantage to sharpen her Spanish-language skills.

“Living and studying abroad definitely changed my life,” Widmann-Hernandez said. “I was living in Malaga, Spain while enrolled in an immersion program. And then in my junior year of college I went to Latin America in the fall of 1992. I was with the School for International Training in Ecuador and was in full spanish immersion. I also had the chance to work with small scale fisheries in Costa Rica at la Universidad de Costa Rica in San Jose through the University of Kansas.”

During her tenure at Dickinson College, WidmannHernandez earned her bachelor's in anthropology with minors in biology and Spanish. Shortly after graduating in the spring of 1994, Widmann-Hernandez entered a master's program in marine affairs and fisheries management at the University of Washington. Her studies took her to Baja California, where

CHICHARITO JUGADOR DEL MES Javier “Chicharito” Hernández fue elegido por los aficionados alemanes como el mejor jugador del mes de febrero en la liga alemana Bundesliga.

Los cinco goles de Javier Hernández durante el segundo mes del año fueron la razón para ganarse este reconocimiento de los aficionados. Basta recordar que el mexicano se encontraba en una de las peores rachas sin poder romper las redes, y ahora, con esta distinción, se coloca nuevamente en las primeras planas en una de las ligas más importantes del mundo.

Actualmente el Bayer Leverkusen se encuentra en la octava posición de la liga con 30 puntos; su próximo compromiso es ante el Borussia Dortmund. El futbolista mexicano del Bayer Leverkusen se llevó la votación con el 45 por ciento de los sufragios.

Xolos Avanza en Copa MX Finalizó la fase de grupos en la Copa Corona MX Clausura 2017 y el Club Tijuana terminó como líder del Grupo 1 tras derrotar 2 a 1 a Cimarrones de Hermosillo, calificando asi a los octavos de final del certamen.

La primera mitad fue tranquila, dominada por Xolos, pero careció de contundencia y claridad al momento de pisar el área rival.

El complemento fue mejor, Cimarrones por conducto de Luis Loroña empezó a arruinar la fiesta en el estadio con un gol de cabeza.

La reacción al verse abajo en el marcador no se hizo esperar, Avilés Hurtado y Víctor Malcorra le dieron otra cara al ataque canino. El empate llegó desde los once pasos, producto de una falta que cometió Néstor Vidrio, mismo que vio la tarjeta roja, era el minuto 81.

Xolos no dejó de empujar hacia el frente, y al 90, Víctor Malcorra se encontró con un balón que tachó a la defensa para enfilarse a la portería.

construction of a new Port of Entry, and it was SANDAG and Caltrans who were the main project sponsors. So far, we have been the ones to take the initiative, and the financial burden,” shared Hector Vanegas, Border Programs Coordinator at SANDAG. Serge Dedina, mayor of Imperial Beach, was appointed by County Supervisor and SANDAG Board of Directors Chair Ron Roberts to chair the new SANDAG Borders Committee, stating that his many years of work on border issues would be of great help in fighting policies to militarize the border and addressing the needs of the San Diego and Baja California communities.

“Washington, D.C. and Mexico City are somewhat far away from the reality of the border region; I have already met with the Mayor of Tijuana, and soon we will meet with Rosarito,

TEMOR

Ensenada, and Tecate to try to improve quality of life on both sides of the border, particularly on issues we need to work together with Mexico on,” said Dedina.

Hector Vanegas also highlighted the work this Committee has done over the past 15 years, working together as a region month after month, as they have done since their first meeting back in February, 2002.

“We opted to take the initiative to build border crossings such as Otay Mesa II, for instance, because that’s what our region needs in order to be more competitive,” added Hector Vanegas.

The next meeting of SANDAG’s Border Committee is scheduled for March 24, and representatives from Tijuana, Tecate, Rosarito, and the State of Baja California are expected to attend to discuss the future of the region and upcoming transportation opportunities.

she completed her thesis on small-scale fisheries and also worked for school credit.

While in Baja, Sabina would meet a person who would change her life forever.

“I met Adan Hernandez , who would be my future husband, 20 years ago. He was a whale watching guide,” she remembered.

Sabina and Adan eventually moved up to San Diego, where she worked along with the United Way and other organizations making a positive impact. However, she began to think about entering another career path as she spent more time thinking about what awaited her in conservation.

“The ocean is a huge passion of mine, but I found myself wanting something different because I knew I was going to end up as an executive in a backroom and I knew what that looked like. I knew I was going to look at a lot of human resources issues and would have to placate the board of directors. I felt like I was better suited to sales and interfacing w people and helping business grow,” Widmann-Hernandez commented.

Widmann-Hernandez entered Clear Channel, now iHeartMedia Inc., as a rookie level sales accountant 13 years ago. About one year after entering radio sales, Widmann-Hernandez was headhunted into Univision Radio.

“I met with the Univision

people and found that Univision brought my passion for radio and Latin America together, as well as sales, education, entertainment, helping local businesses grow, and empowering our listeners”, WidmannHernandez said.

Despite having been in sales for a bit over a year, Sabina felt right at home at Univision.

“I had been selling a for a little bit, but I was selling something that I believed in. I listen to the music on our stations and I have seen radio be a passion point for many of my extended family members in Mexico,” she explained.

In 2012, WidmannHernandez was promoted to Director of Sales, and in August of 2015, she assumed he current role of Vice President, General Manager and Director of Sales of Univision’s local radio stations.

Widmann-Hernandez closed the interview by sharing her positive outlook on the state of radio and it’s effect on listeners.

“I think radio is bigger now than what it was when I was growing up in New York,” she highlighted. “For me, it was fun listening to music on the radio. But many of our listeners, our Spanishlanguage radio programming and personalities can serve as a touchpoint to go back to a familiar place; they may not get this at other stations."

Me enerva escuchar la interminable lista de nombres a la que los comentaristas están obligados a dar salida para hacernos creer que son los reyes de las redes sociales.

Yo no prendo un televisor para sintonizar un partido de fútbol que a los pocos minutos se convierte en el show del Tío Gamboín.

Cuando veo partidos de baloncesto, de béisbol, o de

fútbol americano, jamás, nunca, ni por equivocación, mandan saluditos.

Lo que hacen nuestros comentaristas hispanos del soccer es una verdadera tortura que ya no aguanto y no alcanzo a comprender.

Señores, a ustedes los contrataron para narrar fútbol, no para andar mandando saluditos.

This number, however, is expected to increase in the coming months.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JOSE ANTONIO HERNANDEZ NAVARRO. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Jose Hernandez in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The Petition for Probate requests that Jose Hernandez be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: MARCH 7, 2017 at 11:00 AM in Dept. PC-1 located at 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101, Madge Bradley Building. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

OPINION

NAFTA

para redefinir estrategias que permitan construir alianzas estratégicas en la lógica de ganar-ganar.

La historia nos enseña que es posible una complementariedad virtuosa en la que México puede aportar mano de obra calificada, un amplio mercado para poder potencializar la producción, espacios para desarrollar nuevas obras de riego y el mejoramiento científico de los cultivos actuales, así como la posibilidad para sumarse al gran mercado norteamericano con una canasta amplia de productos que mejoren la dieta alimenticia en ambos países y, de esa manera, asistir en mejores condiciones a la competencia mundial.

Hasta ahora se han realizado pocos esfuerzos para superar los añejos problemas del campo resultado de conductas inerciales y prejuicios que obstaculizan acciones de mejora, forma cómoda para proteger mezquinos monopolios de control. El tiempo obliga a ser optimista y derrotar la indiferencia y el hastío e incompetencia de las autoridades para del discurso la mutua descalificación. Es tiempo de estadistas.

declaró al término de una de las conferencias. “En el lado estadounidense pasaría algo similar y trabajadores de compañías que dependen de México como socio comercial verían menores prospectos de negocios, ventas, contrataciones y salarios”.

David Shirk, director del programa Justicia en México de la Universidad de San Diego (USD) señaló que ante el peor escenario, se perdería una oportunidad para que los tres países involucrados -Estados Unidos, Canadá y México- continúen como la primera región económica integrada del mundo.

“Lo hemos construido sobre 20 años y si decidimos destruirlo en los próximos cuatro años, yo personalmente creo que implica el inicio del declive de Estados Unidos como el primer poder mundial económicamente hablando”, refirió el analista.

En San Diego, se estima que el comercio transfronterizo genera ganancias de más de 90 mil millones de dólares cada año para la región binacional.

Para el senador mexicano, Antonio Ríos Piter aún no están dadas las condiciones para una renegociación del tratado que beneficie a ambas partes.

“Como en toda negociación debe haber un ganar-ganar”, subrayó el legislador quien estuvo de visita en San Diego.

“Yo soy de los que he planteado que más vale que Estados Unidos diga nos salimos del tratado y que nos quedemos amparados por la Organización Mundial de Comercio en lugar de estarle siguiendo el juego a alguien que ha demostrado continuamente no solamente una terrible hostilidad sino que lo que quiere es deshacer en beneficio solamente de una de las partes un tratado que evidentemente ha sido positivo para los dos lados”.

El gobierno de México contempla que será hasta mediados de año cuando se lleven a cabo las renegociaciones entre los tres países. El Secretario de Economía, Ildefonso Guajardo ha advertido que su país estaría en contra de cualquier arancel que se quiera imponer a productos mexicanos.
