Juana Fernandez is a student at FischerMiddle School in San Jose. She came tothe United States two years ago and did

not know how to speak any English.“School was very difficult for me at first and

my grades suffered,” Fernandez said. “But Iworked hard, and with help from my teachers,my grades improved and I am looking forwardto a positive future.”

Fernandez will graduate from Fischer withhonors and will be the first in her family to at-tend college.

On Friday, June 5, members of the Alum

Rock Unified Elementary School District gath-ered at the Pala Middle School lawn in San Joseto make a public commitment to excellencewithin the district’s schools, and to ensure thepublic that Juana Fernandez will not be the dis-trict’s only success story.

“Today is the start of a new era for AlumRock Union Elementary School District,” saidJose L. Manzo, Board of Trustees, and InterimSuperintendent for the school district. “We willwork to enable all students to be more proficientand college bound within the next two years.Our community and our students deserve betterand we are committed and focused.”

Several members of the Alum Rock Union

Elementary School District including teachers,parents, students and the district’s managementteam joined Manzo.

However, the community members ac-knowledge that this task will not be simple.

“The standards have changed since the 70s.It is a much more challenging environment forteachers today,” said Board President GustavoGonzalez. “Parent involvement is needed. Par-ents need to help out teachers in order for stu-dents to succeed.”

Norma Rodriguez, principle at Dorsa Mid-dle School, was also present at the event.

“We have our worked cut out for us but webelieve that every child can succeed,” she said.“We are all stakeholders in this and we mustconvert all these challenges and barriers into op-portunities. “

This past spring, the Alum Rock Union Ele-mentary School District participated in severalevents to further the development of its students.Some of these events include; visits from electedofficials Congressman Mike Honda and Super-intendent Jack O’Connell, participating in theCesar Chavez March and Assembly, and bysending kindergarteners on college visits.

The district will next participate in the An-nual Volunteer Recognition Jubilee on June 24at the Mayfair Community Center. For more in-formation on the Alum Rock Union ElementarySchool District visit www.arusd.org.

San Francisco, CA.- Estamos comenzando elmes de Junio, declarado por el Congreso delos Estados Unidos, como el mes de seguridad

en el internet en el que se promueve el uso responsable yseguro de esta herramienta que ahora forma parte de nues-tras vidas, y sobre todo de la vida de nuestros hijos.

Common Sense Media, organización nacional no lu-crativa con sede en San Francisco, California, tiene estosconsejos para que usted ayude a que sus hijos estén másseguros cuando usan el internet:

1.- Hable con sus hijos: Dígales que no compartan in-formación privada como dirección, edades y números tele-fónicos. Recomiende que no envíen fotos a extraños niabran email de personas descononidas. Pidales que man-tengan sus contraseñas o passwords secretas, y sólo lacompartan con sus padres.

2.- Navegue de manera segura: Si sus hijos están enprimaria, coloque filtros para prevenir que tengan acceso apáginas con contenidos inapropiados. Siempre, indepen-dientemente de la edad, supervise que páginas han visitadoy qué están haciendo sus hijos cuando están conectados.

3.- Enseñeles a ser buenos ciudadanos digitales: Pi-dales que nunca hagan en el internet o con sus celulareslo que no harían en persona. Es decir que las mismas nor-mas de cortesía y respeto que deben usar en su mundoreal, lo deben aplicar en su vida virtual. Digales que si al-guien hace comentarios negativos, hirientes o con con-tenido sexual se lo deben decir a un adulto inmediatamente.

4.- Es preferible tener la computadora ubicada en unlugar central de la casa, y no en las habitaciones de sushijos. Es más dificil supervisarlos cuando tienen las com-putadoras dentro de sus habitaciones.

5.- Establezca limites en cuanto al tiempo que sushijos estarán en el internet. Haga cumplir esos límites.

Si desea obtener consejos más específicos deacuerdo a la edad de su hijo, visite www.mediosconsenti-docomun.org

School District Commits to Excellence

¿Cómo mantener a sus hijos más seguros?

Solo cruce por las pistas designadas acruzar y cuando sea seguro hacerlo. Probablemente no sea la via más rápida pero

es la más segura.Si usted no usa las zonas designadas usted es-

tará cometiendo una violación y será sujeto a citacióny una multa.

Aunque crea que los trenes van despacio, Cal-train van a 79 millas por hora. A esa velocidad sepuede cruzar la longitud de un estadio de fútbol enmenos de tres segundos.

Cuidado con un segundo tren. Entre San Fran-cisco y San Jose, Caltrain opera en dos direcciones,con cuatro vias en ciertas locaciones. Cuando vea elúltimo vagón de un tren que pasa, no cruce hasta queesté seguro de que los trenes no están llegando acada pista.

Un tren puede estar en un cruce en menos deun minuto. Es mejor perder un minuto en la vida quela vida en un minuto.

Tenga en cuenta que Caltrain funciona en “modoempuje-jale”. La locomotora tira hacia el sur por logeneral a los trenes. Sin embargo, en los trenes haciael norte, el tren es “empujado” por detrás de la loco-motora con un vehículo de pasajeros del tren. Lostrenes pueden viajar en cualquier dirección.

Más allá de su tamaño, los trenes pueden serdifíciles de escuchar especialmente cuando su modooperativo es jalar.

Cuando esté en la estación con niños, mantén-galos cerca a usted todo el tiempo.

Cuando esté en la parada del tren, sea con-scientes de que al acercarse los trenes no podrán de-tenerse en la estación y pueden pasar cerca de usteden 79 millas por hora.

Cuando esté dispuesto a abordar un tren, páresedetrás de la linea amarilla de seguridad y no cruce laplataforma central hasta que los trenes hayan parado.

No se siente en el borde de la plataforma. Todoslos trenes ocupan los carriles y requieren el espaciopara operar.

Nunca maneje en un cruce de ferrocarril hastaque esté seguro de que el tráfico ha dejado espaciosuficiente para conducir sin dejarlo sin salida. No cam-bie la velocidad cuando cruce las pistas de tren. Si suvehículo se estancó en el cruce salgase de inmediato.Llame al 911 o 1.877.723.7245 para informar lasituación.

Vigilancia de Tránsito: Usted puede ayudar amantener las vías seguras reportando situacionespeligrosas, como niños jugando en la vias o personasque se cuelgan a lo largo de la vía de ferrocarril. Llameal 1.877.723.7245 para informar situaciones peli-grosas.

Escuela de tránsito de autobúses y el transportede pasajeros, así como camiones que transportabanmateriales peligrosos, están obligados a parar entodos los cruces ferroviarios.

¡Cuidado por lavías del tren!

The San Jose City Counciladopted a recommenda-tion, which altered the

manner by which the San Jose Po-lice will deal with charges regardingpublic intoxication. The law cur-rently used is not well defined, notspecific enough and gave too muchundefined authority to officers whoin the moment were making deci-sions leading to charging an individ-ual with public intoxication. It isalso advisable to define morespecifically the current law whichapplies to those individuals who areallegeding resisting arrest or inter-fering with a police action.

Of great interest are those4,000-plus public intoxication arrestrecords, which need to become abase of information. What preventsthese records from being reviewedby the Independent Police Auditorfor the purpose of learning morefrom this existing database?

Under a general embargo, theIPA could perform a confidentialanalysis, which is not made publicuntil authorized. This approach doesnot expose private information,which needs to remain confidential.

It also permits the IPA to report tothis community the meaningful useof this database for improvement ofcurrent police practices.

A report posted June 3rd by EricSherbert states that Council memberAsh Kalra said, “A lot has to do withthe building of trust with the com-munity and the police department. Ifor one am eager to get to a placewhere we can start dealing withsome of the issues the communitymembers have, even if they are per-ceptions.”

The Latino community residinghere is quite diverse. Some of uswere born here and are thereforeAmerican citizens. Others are natu-ralized citizens, have official resi-dency (‘green cards’), or areundocumented. Many are immi-grants; and many have a primordialheritage leading back to somewhereon the American continents. Yetmany times we are treated with dis-dain, abuse, and disrespect in undig-nified ways involving verbal abuseand the threat of physical violence.We are subjected to the low opinionand expectations of others, ex-ploited, etc. In brief, Latinos, as a

community, yearn for equal treat-ment under the law. Respect is an-other aspect of this situation as istrust. Many of us do not care to dealwith police officers because of pastexperiences, which result in beingfearful and insecure. A safe, peace-ful, and secure community environ-ment is difficult to have whenresidents do not trust local police.We all must change a bit in order toachieve the inclusive diversity thatis possible and attainable here.

Our local society may be di-verse, but it has yet to become “in-clusively diverse.” We all desirechange headed in the direction ofequal treatment under the law, re-spect, dignity, and trust. To achievethat level in this society means that“There must be a sustained effort tolisten to each other, to learn fromeach other, to respect one another,and to seek common ground.”(President Barack Hussein Obama,Cairo, June 5, 2009). All of us areinvolved to some degree. Let’s con-tinue to communicate and developthose understandings leading tochanges involving all of us. Δ

Dear Editor, Having read your latest edition of El Observador I was wondering if you

are going to cover the child care aspect of the budget crisis.If the cuts go into effect as many believe they are then many Latino Fam-

ilies will be affected. Child care is essential to their future.Cuts of this magnitude would likely make the state’s situation worse,

and would cause immeasurable harm to innocent dependent Latino children.The negative impact on individual children, communities and the economyif these cuts are adopted would simply be too great from both a human andeconomic perspective.

The Governor proposes a 10 percent cut to Child Welfare Services anda 10 percent rate reduction for most foster caregivers. He also has proposedto eliminate the CalWORKs program outright. CalWORKs, in its own right,is a remarkably successful program. The number of people receiving assis-tance has been cut in half since CalWORKs started. Rather than being a bur-den on the General Fund, the TANF Block Grant has actually contributedmore than $11 billion to non-CalWORKs state programs since its inceptionand has helped tens of thousands of Californians, many of them Latinos,enter the workforce.

In today’s dire recessionary climate, counties are seeing increases in de-mand for CalWORKs, as devastated families seek help from a safety net thatnow threatens to drop them in their time of need. Eliminating CalWORKswould suck additional billions of dollars out of the economy, resulting ingreater job loss and pushing the state from its current 11 percent unemploy-ment rate to an estimated 11.8 percent.

I encourage you to take a close look at how the proposed cuts wouldimpact the Latino families, the children and the community.

Gracias.Mario Del Castillo

Editor’s Note: Hilbert Morales, Publisher, EO, is a member of the MentalHealth Board, County of Santa Clara which is advisory to the Board of Su-pervisors and its Department of Mental Health (Nancy Peña, Head). This ad-visory group has been performing analysis of many program cuts. Theultimate solution will require having a State of California ConstitutionalConvention which produces an up-dated new constitution. Our elected offi-cial must transition from the present “broken system” which cannot be re-paired by the use of propositions. The Governor, Senators and members ofthe State Assembly must go to a “pay as you go system”. Presently too manyessential items can be blocked by a small number of the Assembly. The two-thirds vote on budget matters needs to become ‘a majority vote”. Elected of-ficials need to be held to account by the voters. Latinos need to register tovote, learn about the issues and vote for those who will make reasonable de-cisions when dealing with the people’s business. The influence of special in-terests and lobbyists must become open and available for public review. Also,special interests (i.e., unions and certain corporations) need to have their in-fluence peddling exposed to all for review and comment. We need a moretransluscent governing process that works. Since individuals paying incometaxes are the source of the greatest volume of revenues, there is a need toknow which members of the assembly are overly influenced by special in-terests and their lobbyists.

Mientras en San José el número de crímenes sigue en aumento -hasta lafecha se han producido en 10 homicidios- la desconfianza se ha tripli-cado entre sus residentes. Pero ¿cuál es la razón del incremento de los

crímenes y actos vandálicos?“Tenemos un pequeño departamento policial, apenas

hay 1,315 oficiales en nuestra ciudad, Dallas nos sigue ennúmero de población y tienen 3,300 efectivos. Siendo nue-stro departamento policial tan pequeño no podemos ir atodos lados”, indica el Presidente de la Asociación dePolicías de San José(POA), Bobby López en referencia alcrecimiento de los crímenes en San José.

Lamentablemente la población no confía en los efec-tivos policiales y pocos miembros de la comunidad estaríandispuestos a reportar crímenes. Una reciente encuesta pub-licada por la organización PACT corrobora lo que El Ob-servador realizó en meses anteriores y nuevamente decidiótrabajar en otra encuesta.

Sin embargo el Presidente de la Asociación de Policíasde San José, Bobby López dijo que no cree en estas encues-tas porque cuando ha patrullado las calles la gente se le haacercado sin temor. En sus 30 años de servicio la gentenunca le ha negado el ingreso. En referencia al video difun-dido en “you tube” sobre considerar de amenaza al jovenRaj Jayadev dijo que no va a pedir disculpas, que se usaronimágenes de una audiencia pública y dijo que era una inter-pretación de POA sobre los hechos que se mencionaron.

Policías, bomberos y autoridades de la ciudad organi-zaron esta vigilia el pasado martes 9 de junio en la ex-planada del Municipio de la ciudad de San José.

Defensores de los derechos, víctimas y líderes de la co-munidad se unieron para pedir por un vecindario seguro ypara pedir que se deje de criticar la labor policial.En esteencuentro se honraron a los hombres y mujeres del Depar-tamento de Policía y Bomberos de San José.

A esta reunión asistió el Alcalde Chuck Reed, la Fiscaldel Distrito, Dolores Car, el Presidente de los BomberosRandy Seknay, el Presidente de la Asociación de Policíasde San José, los Concejales Ash Karla, Pete Constant, NoraCampos y Forrest Williams asi como familias que fueronvíctimas del crimen como los Husseini. A este evento con-currieron pocos miembros de la comunidad. Δ

Del 4 al 9 de junio un grupo de conser-jes, activistas comunitarios y líderesde fe se sumaron a la huelga de ham-

bre en protesta al despido que la corporaciónCisco System hiciera al más del 40% de los con-serjes de aquella compañía. Estas personas se re-unieron frente a la corporación, sede principalubicado en la ciudad de San José.

Por 7 días un líder religioso se encargó de realizar una ceremonia que incluía la bendición delos participantes.

“Solo pedimos justicia y que nos devuelvannuestros trabajos. Tengo que mantener a mi fa-milia”, dijo Guadalupe Antolin trabajadora delimpieza.

A su turno Teresa Guerrero dijo que siguelaborando como empleada de limpieza pero queel trabajo se ha duplicado. “Me solidarizo conmis compañeros, primero porque no tienen em-

pleo y segundo por se ha duplicado nuestro tra-bajo por el mismo salario”,dijo la joven madre defamilia.

A pesar de la rentabilidad de Cisco, in-cluyendo más de $ 34 mil millones en efectivode activos fijos y un CEO que ha obtenido pagosde $ 11 millones, la empresa contratista delimpieza ABM despedió a más de 75 conserjes,destruyendo los medios de supervivencia de estaspersonas, poniendo en peligro a familias debajos ingresos, indican el sindicato de traba-jadores 1877.

La huelga de hambre se origina luego que lostrabajadores hicieron una serie de movilizacionesen los últimos meses pidiendo a Cisco “responsabilidad social empresarial” y piden elreestablecimiento de los despedidos.

Por su parte la corporación CISCO no se hapronunciado al respecto. Los trabajadores llevan7 meses de protesta.

El tema de inmigración no es unasunto que involucra a personas in-documentadas sino a también a ciu-

dadanos de los Estados Unidos. No nosreferimos a los hijos de inmigrantes que porcierto son ciudadanos sino a los personas quenacieron aquí, crecieron aquí pero por destinosde la vida se vincularon a la vida sentimentalde los inmigrantes.

Esta es la historia de Erica Villalobos quienestá sufriendo por la separación de su esposo,Juan Carlos Rodriguez (32) un inmigrante deJalisco, México que vivía 11 años en San Joséy que ahora tiene que enfrentar la leyes migra-torias.

“Cuando me uní a mi esposo, nunca imaginé que mi propio país me iba a hacer sufrirtanto”, dijo Erica Villalobos.

Villalobos y Rodriguez contrajeron nupciasen junio de 2007. En noviembre del mismo añodecidieron ingresar los documentos para arreglar la situación ilegal de su esposo. Ellosreciben una carta en la cual debían presentarseen la Ciudad de Juárez para la visa. Rodríguezfue aprobado para un perdón y se le dio una citapara el 29 de diciembre de 2008.

“Hasta ese momento todo era gastos y gas-tos. Pagué 100 pesos y en horas debíamos es-perar un documento. Pero cuando recibimos losdocumentos en el cual la oficina de inmigraciónindicaba que era insuficiente evidencias y queteníamos que llevar más evidencias. Pues el 10de abril de 2009 sometí más evidencias perorecibimos una nota que mi esposo no podía en-trar hasta obtener alguna respuesta”, dijo Villalobos.

Villalobos cuenta que desde aquel entoncessu marido no ha podido reingresar a los EstadosUnidos y mientras tanto vive en Tijuana de al-gunos trabajos que se le presente.

“No puedo creer que mi gobierno me esténegando esta ayuda”, dice entre lágrimas Villalobos quien recientemente se graduó comoBachiller en Especialista para Niños de la Uni-versidad de San José.

Ella explica que ha gastado 2,500 dólares y

que ahora tiene que viajar a Tijuana o viajar losfines de semana a este lugar para visitar a su es-poso. “Mi esposo llegó a esta país a trabajar ycon mi buena intención quise regularizar susituación. El destinaba sus ingresos para ayudara su familia en México, no ha estado vinculadoen crímenes ni drogas, es de buen caractermoral y ha estado al día con el pago de sus im-puesto”, indica Villalobos.

La joven esposa indica que lo barato lesalió caro, ella pagó a una notaria para hacerlelos trámites pero nunca fue informada quecuando un ciudadano se casa con una personaindocumentada que ingresó sin inspección eradifícil arreglar.

No sólo es asunto de indocumentadosINMIGRACION:

DHS EstablishesInterim Relief forWidows of U.S.CitizensWashington-U.S. Department

of Homeland Security (DHS)Secretary Janet Napolitano

granted deferred action for two years to wid-ows and widowers of U.S. citizens-as wellas their unmarried children under 18 yearsold-who reside in the United States and whowere married for less than two years prior totheir spouse’s death.

Secretary Napolitano also directed U.S.Citizenship and Immigration Services(USCIS) to suspend adjudication of visa pe-titions and adjustment applications filed forwidow(er)s where the sole reason for re-assessment of immigration status was thedeath of a U.S. citizen spouse prior to thesecond anniversary of the marriage.

Additionally, U.S. Immigration and Cus-toms Enforcement (ICE) will defer initiatingor continuing removal proceedings, or exe-cuting final orders of removal against quali-fied widow(er)s and their eligible children.

USCIS will also consider favorably re-quests for humanitarian reinstatement wherepreviously approved petitions forwidow(er)s had been revoked because of thelaw. DHS will soon issue new rules instruct-ing the public on how to apply for this relief.

These directives apply regardless ofwhether the citizen filed a petition for thealien spouse before death. Deferred action isgenerally an act of prosecutorial discretionto suspend removal proceedings against aparticular individual or group of individualsfor a specific timeframe; it cannot resolve anindividual’s underlying immigration status.Individuals granted deferred action mayapply for work authorization if they candemonstrate economic necessity.

Es posible que el teléfono sea algomuy aceptado en la vida del sigloXXI, pero no para aproximadamente

tres millones de californianos. La mayoría denosotros da por hecho el uso del teléfono. Perosi usted tiene dificultades para oír, ver, hablar,trasladarse o memorizar, lo que parece ser unasimple llamada telefónica puede ser un desafío -impidiendo la comunicación con la familia, losamigos y otros.

La misma tecnología de telecomunicaciones

que impulsa una continua innovación ha pro-ducido una gran cantidad de teléfonos y dispos-itivos especializados para que las personas condiscapacidades puedan comunicarse con la fa-milia y los amigos. El Programa de Telecomu-nicaciones para Sordos y Discapacitados (DDTP,por sus siglas en inglés) provee estos teléfonosgratuitamente para los californianos que cumplenlos requisitos.

El DDTP distribuye equipos y servicios detelecomunicaciones que mejoran la comuni-

cación para todos los californianos. Siendo unprograma de la Comisión de Servicios Públicosde California (CPUC, por sus siglas en inglés),el DDTP provee a los californianos un equipo deteléfonos especializados y servicios de retrans-misión a través del Programa de Acceso Tele-fónico de California (CTAP, por sus siglas eninglés) y el Servicio de Retransmisión de Cali-fornia (CRS, por sus siglas en inglés), respecti-vamente. El CTAP provee teléfonosespecializados que amplifican el sonido, ajustanel tono, se encienden cuando reciben llamadas,exhiben la conversación telefónica en forma detexto, tienen botones grandes con números en re-lieve, son portátiles o tienen botones de teléfonode marcado rápido que incorporan fotografías.El CTAP ofrece aproximadamente 60 tipos deteléfonos y dispositivos especializados, para quetodos los californianos puedan comunicarse a sumanera.

El CRS provee Operadores de Retransmisióny Ayudantes de Comunicación especialmente ca-pacitados para retransmitir conversaciones tele-fónicas entre personas sordas, con pérdidaauditiva o con discapacidades del habla y las per-sonas con las cuales desean comunicarse porteléfono. El CRS, el teléfono con subtítulos y losservicios de retransmisión de voz a voz (Speech-to-Speech) se ofrecen en inglés y español.

Los residentes de California tienen derechoa recibir un equipo especializado si tienen un ser-vicio telefónico y están certificados por unmédico u otorrinolaringólogo autorizado. Nohay costo, obligación, requisitos de edad o de in-gresos.

Una vez que una persona cumple los requi-sitos para recibir un teléfono especializado,pueden llamar al 1-800-806-1191 ó ir a uno delos Centros de Servicios del CTAP en Californiapara determinar el dispositivo más apropiadopara sus requisitos. El personal del CTAPdemostrará las funciones de los teléfonos, re-comendará el teléfono que se adecue mejor a lasnecesidades del cliente y proveerá capacitaciónsobre cómo utilizar y personalizar el teléfono.

El DDTP es financiado por un pequeño re-cargo que aparece en las facturas telefónicas delos habitantes de California. El dinero que serecolecta paga tanto el CTAP como el CRS.

The United States is currently facing theworst economic crisis since the GreatDepression. As a result, the city of San

Jose has to close an $84 million shortfall, which isnearly 10 percent of the $880 million general fundbudget.

The mayor is calling for shared sacrifice thatwill allow many devastating cuts to critical serv-ices to be avoided.

“This budget reflects the value of this commu-nity,” Reed said “The budget represents a collab-orative effort between the city, its employees, andthe community to address the challenges we allface. By working together and sharing in the sac-rifices, we can maintain the critical services thatour residents depend on while minimizing the needfor layoffs.”

The mayor is asking top city employees not totake pay raises so that other city employees do nothave to be laid off.

“People are also taking unpaid days off, inorder to save money,” Reed said.

He also warned about California’s plan to takemoney from San Jose in order to deal with thestate’s deficit.

“We have to prepare for the likelihood that thestate will take $30 million,” Reed said.

However, not all the news regarding the city’sbudget is grim. The mayor reassured that certainservices would not have to be sacrificed.

Public safety of the people of San Jose is themayors top concern.

“Public safety is our top priority, from policeand fire services to the programs that keep our chil-

dren and seniors safe,” Reed said. “We will not belaying off any police officers or firemen.”

The mayor is recommending that the follow-ing services and programs continue to be funded;Police Patrol Unit staffing, fire stations 30 and 33,Police Traffic Enforcement Unit, Satellite andNeighborhood Community Centers, Police HorseMounted Unit, Park Ranger Program, and libraryhours to be restored to eight hours a week.

The mayor also said that the city would con-tinue to aggressively pursue Federal Stimulusfunding to create jobs and invest in long-term in-frastructure need. The city of San Jose has identi-fied 31 projects that are eligible for federal funding,at an underwriting level of nearly $850 million.These projects include; $15 million for transporta-tion projects, $12 million for workforce develop-ment, $9 million for energy efficiency andconversation, $7 million for housing, $6 millionfor the San Jose Airport, and $1 million for the po-lice department.

Mayor Reed’s Budget Message will be openfor pubic comment at the City Council’s final Pub-lic Hearing on the Budget on June 15 at 7 p.m.

94089) near Orleans Drive, northof Highway 237. These are thefirst two WNV infected birds de-

tected in Santa Clara County thisyear.

“Dead birds are usually thefirst sign that the virus is active ina given area. It is important for res-idents to take precautions to avoidbeing bitten by mosquitoes,” saidDr. Noor Tietze, Scientific/Techni-cal Services Manager.

Transmitted by mosquitobites, WNV causes mild to severeflu-like symptoms such as fever,headache, and body ache. In se-

vere cases, significant neurologi-cal symptoms or even death canoccur. The elderly and those withcompromised immune systemsare most susceptible.

So far this year, no humanWNV cases have been found inSanta Clara County. The VectorControl District is continuing to col-lect adult mosquitoes weekly fortesting, and following patterns ofdead birdcalls to identify areas ofincreased risk for human transmis-sion of the virus.

If you find crows, jays, spar-rows, finches or birds of prey thathave been dead for less than 48hours and do not appear to havedied as a result of an injury, reportit online to the State at www.west-nile.ca.gov. Or you may call theState Dead Bird Hot Line at 877-968-2473 or contact the SantaClara County Vector Control Dis-trict (www.sccvector.org) at 408-918-4770.

West Nile Virus positive birds found inSunnyvale and San Jose

To reduce the risk of being bitten bymosquitoes or contracting WNV, SantaClara County residents are urged to takethe following precautions:

• Eliminate all sources of standingwater that can support mosquito breed-ing.

• Avoid spending time outside whenmosquitoes are most active, especially atdawn and the first two hours after sunset.

• When outdoors, wear long pantsand long-sleeved shirts.

• Apply insect repellant, such asDEET, according to label instructions.

• Make sure that doors and windowshave tight-fitting screens. Repair or re-place screens that have tears or holes.

• Contact the Vector Control Districtif you are being bothered by mosquitoesor know of a potential mosquito-breedingsource.

• Dump or drain any standing wateron your properties.

• Report dead birds to the State ofCalifornia WNV hotline at 877-WNV-BIRD.

Los inmigrantes no solo son latercera parte de la fuerza lab-oral del país sino también son

sinónimo de contribución intelectual y artísticaespecialmente en el Valle del Silicio. Regióndonde reside una gran variedad de inmigrantesprocedentes de diferentes continentes. La diver-sidad es una de las características que identificay se diferencia entre los demás.

Es probable que no necesite ir a la China o ala India para ver la expresiones y contribucionesartísticas de los inmigrantes. Sin ir muy lejos laexpresiones de artistas mexicanos se siente encada esquina de la ciudad de San José, gruposfolkórico entre otros.

En el Área de la Bahía contamos con artistaspintores y poetas. En esta ocasión hay artistas lati-nos que sobresalen por su activismo en la comu-nidad pero al mismo tiempo contribuyen con sutalento artístico en nuestra sociedad.

El Poeta Yosimar Reyes, la pintora Marta

Donayre y el artista Yen Le entre otros con-tribuyen con embellecer, nuestra vision, nuestrosoídos y los mensajes que llevan de su corazón alnuestro.

La pintoraMarta Donayre es un reconocida activista que

ha sobresalido por la lucha a favor de los inmi-grantes y también a favor del matrimonio delmismo sexo. Además de esta gran virtud de ac-tivista social se ha destacado por sacar afuera suscualidades artísticas. Donayre pinta desde el año2004 y desde el año 2007 ha hecho público suspinturas con un significado muy profundo que harecorrido desde El Alcatraz en San Francisco,hasta eventos para recaudar fondos para ayudar acombatir el SIDA, así como exhibiciones de pin-tura en centros culturales locales.

“El área en la cual vivimos es sui generes, esheterogéneo en el aspecto de cultura. Nos haabierto un gran espacio que invitan a que las per-sonas esparsan su universo. No tenemos que ir aChina para saber un poco de China por ejemplo”,

indica Marta Donayre.El PoetaYosimar Reyes es un joven que inmigró de

México y que ha sufrido momentos difíciles peroque sus momentos de tristeza, dolor y discrimi-nación lo han llevado a usar uno de los instrumen-tos más poderosos que el ser humano puedatener... su voz.

Reyes (22) ha escrito los más preciosos poe-mas que han surgido de muchos años de llanto ytristeza. Y como testigo de estas injusticias que lollevaron a inspirarse en los palabras que nos lle-van a la reflexión, escribió un libro titulado “ParaJóvenes de Color que hablan suavemente....”. Eneste libro Reyes resume 12 poemas de su autoría,en ingles y español.

“La voz del inmigrante es crucial. Eventosque permitan exponer nuestro trabajo es impor-tante porque nos da un espacio para expresar nue-stros sentimientos y sufrimientos Pero tambiénpara demostrar que valemos mucho”, dijo Reyes.

Reyes es un joven que inspira a nuestra co-

munidad, siempre anda activo y entre viajes ypresentaciones lleva consigo un cuadernito queanota sus ideas y que próximamente revelaránuevos poemas con historia de los inmigrantes ola versión del sufrimiento de cualquier inmigrantellevado a los poemas.

A esta muestra se suman el artista y fotógrafoYen Le, el músico Javier Vásquez, Teatro La Es-pera, los fotógrafos Alejandra Chaverri, AusencioAlvarez, el artista Xuan My Ho, la pintora MirangWonne, la artista Christina Velásquez y el cineastaJuan Gil Garcia.

Por primera vez la Oficina de Relaciones Hu-manas del Condado de Santa Clara organiza unaexposición que cuenta con artistas inmigrantesque contribuyen con su destreza y habilidad enesta exposición pero que también simbolizan elsurgimiento y la fortaleza de una diversidad con-stituida por diferentes culturas. La cita es el 12 dejuni de 4:30 a 6:30 pm en el County Charcot Cen-ter Café 2310 N. First. St. San José.

By Rosario Vital - El Observador

Immigrants are not only a third of the laborforce of the United States, but they are also syn-onymous with intellectual and artistic contribu-tions, especially in the Silicon Valley.

In a region filled with immigrants from dif-ferent continents, diversity is one of the charac-teristics that makes the difference in itself.

It’s possible to see expressions and artisticcontributions that immigrants make without everhaving to visit China or India. Artistic expres-sions from Mexican artists can be seen and feltaround any corner in the city of San Jose. Folk-loric dancing is an example.

In the Bay Area we rely on artists,poets,painters, photographers and filmmakersincluding those Latino artists that succeed be-cause of their activism in the community. PoetYosimar Reyes, painters Marta Donayre, Xuan

My Ho and Mirang Wonne, photographers YenLe,Alejandra Chaverri and Ausencio Alvarez,musician Javier Vasquez, artist Yen Le and film-maker Juan Garcia Gil are some of the contribu-tors that make us see and hear beauty, and theirmessages get carried into our hearts.

Marta Donayre is a renowned activist whohas won battles for immigrants and is in favor ofsame sex marriage. Among many virtues, Don-ayre has been painting since 2004 and made herpaintings available to the public in 2007. Thepaintings have been on display in Alcatraz Island.She also participates at charitable events to helpprevent HIV/AIDS and in other local venues aswell.

“The area we live in is very generous and isheterogeneous when it comes to our culture.There lies a grand opportunity that invites peopleto expand their universe. For example, we don’thave to go to China to get to know China,” Don-ayre said.

Yosimar Reyes, 22, a young poet who emi-grated from Mexico, has suffered many difficultmoments. However, his moments of pain, suf-fering and discrimination have allowed him touse the most powerful instrument that a humanbeing possesses...his voice.

Reyes has written the most precious poemsdealing with sadness that have emerged in manyyears. His experiences with injustice are the in-spiration for his poems, which he put together ina book entitled “ For Colored Boys Who SpeakSoftly”. In this book, Reyes wrote 12 poemsabout his own experiences, in both English and

Spanish. “The voice of the immigrant is critical.

Events that give exposure to our work is impor-tant because it gives us a chance to express oursentiments and sufferings, while demonstratingthat we are worthy”, Reyes said.

Reyes is a young man that inspires our com-munity. He is always active. In between trips andpresentations, he takes with him a notebookwhere he writes his ideas for new poems. Hisnext set of poems will be filled with the historyof immigrants and a version of suffering sharedby all immigrants.

Santa Clara County has a population of ap-proximately 630,720 immigrants. According toCensus Bureau data from 2007. That is 36 per-cent of the population in the Silicon Valley.

For the first time, Santa Clara County Officeof Human Relations, has organized an exhibit inwhich talented immigrant artists contribute andalso symbolize the community’s diversitythrough its many cultures.

The exhibit will be on June 12 from 4:30p.m.-6:30 p.m. at 2310 N. First St. in the CountyCharcot Center Café, San Jose, Ca. Δ

México, (Notimex).- La cantante GloriaTrevi confesó que para escribir “Queemane”, tema musical de la segunda

temporada de la serie “Mujeres asesinas”, se inspiróen los casos de quienes fueron sus compañeras mien-tras estuvo en prisión. La artista, que en 2004 fue

exonerada tras cuatro años ocho meses de estar enla cárcel, acusada de violación, rapto y corrupciónde menores, opinó que “algunas de esas chicasson más víctimas que victimarias, porque fueron

abusadas desde chiquitas”.Consideró que “la naturaleza de las mujeres

consiste en dar vida no quitarla, pero muchasveces son involucradas por los hombres. Lamayoría de los casos ocurrieron por circun-stancias que desde niñas se les fue forjando

con base en violencia, humillaciones y falta deamor”.

Gloria Trevi explicó que en su tema se re-fiere a que emane todo lo negativo y puedan

encontrar la luz y el amor. “Estabanerviosa (de escribirlo) porque Pedro

Torres es muy cuidadoso, exigente yperfeccionista, pero la canción megusta mucho. Es una especie delimpia para sacar las cosas negati-vas y todo lo que puede hacernos

daño”, explicó. “Las mujeres asesinas lo hacen de forma violenta y

existimos otras personas que lo sacamos cantando o cre-ando”. Así fue como nació “Que emane”, cuyo video,bajo la dirección de Esteban Madrazo, se grabó la nochedel domingo en el foro 8 de Televisa San Angel.

El cantante mexicano Pepe Aguilar regresó al estudio de grabación parapreparar un material especial que incluirá a compositores como Joan Sebas-tian y Marco Antonio Solís. En su nueva producción discográfica, el intér-

prete de “Por mujeres como tú” también trabajará con Leonel García, Reyli Barba,Estefano y Carlos Lara, quienes tienen éxitos probados en el pop. Luego de un brevedescanso, Aguilar se presentó el pasado 29 de mayo en la Feria Internacional de Co-malcalco, Tabasco, donde reunió a más de 20 mil personas. El Parque de Beisbol An-tonio Valenzuela Alamilla se convirtió en un coro monumental que acompañó alcantante en cada una de sus interpretaciones, provocando sorpresa en Pepe Aguilar,quien agradecía con reverencias la entrega de los tabasqueños. Pepe Aguilar prometióvolver pronto a esta comunidad, donde el público no sólo le demostró su cariño, sinotambién la fuerza que tiene como cantante para convocar al pueblo.

When high-powered New York book editor Margaret(SANDRA BULLOCK) faces deportation to hernative Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares

that she’s actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistantAndrew (RYAN REYNOLDS), whom she’s tormented for years.He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditionsof his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirkyfamily (MARY STEENBURGEN, CRAIG T. NELSON, BETTYWHITE) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in onecomedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an im-promptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on theirtails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan de-spite the precarious consequences.

The SubZero Festival was more than a zero on a scaleof 10. The event was held in downtown San Jose, in anarea where night clubs are abundant, but that wasn’t a

problem. South First Billiards, was one of the venues that gaveartists an opportunity to showcase their talent. As live bands per-formed, many artists were tackling the blank canvases. Heart ofChaos provided the artists and the evening was filled with music,with the occasional brake dancer on the dance floor. The festivalgave music lovers and art lovers a chance to come together andappreciate both mediums of expression. Δ

México, (Notimex).

Luego de la derrota quesufrió ante El Salvador yque lo dejó en una

situación muy complicada, dentro delhexagonal final de la Concacaf, Méx-ico, derrotó por 2 a 1 a Trinidad y To-bago, una selección que nunca hamarcado gol en suelo “azteca”.Nueve, son las ocasiones en que estasescuadras se han vistos las caras eneliminatoria mundialista, con un clarobalance a favor de los ahora dirigidospor Javier Aguirre, en calidad de local.

La primera ocasión que estosequipos se enfrentaron, ocurrió el 14de diciembre de 1973, en el caminorumbo a la justa mundialista que secelebró en Alemania en 1974, en laciudad de Puerto Principe, donde elTri, fue vapuleado 4-0. Tuvieron quepasar 27 años, para que estos equipos

se vieran nuevamente las caras, ahorafue en Puerto España el 27 de julio del2000, donde los caribeños levolvieron a ganar a México, ahora porla mínima diferencia, dentro de laeliminatoria a Corea-Japón 2002.Fue hasta el 8 de octubre de esemismo año, cuando México, final-mente fue capaz de tomar revancha delos trinitarios, por marcador de 7-0,duelo que se celebró en la cancha delestadio Azteca. Dentro del hexagonalfinal rumbo a tierras asiáticas, estosrepresentativos nacionales se vieronlas caras nuevamente, en la capital delpaís caribeño el 25 de marzo de 2001,donde se registró empate a un gol.Trinidad, pagó la visita el 5 de sep-tiembre de ese mismo año, un partidoen el que el Tricolor, no tuvo prob-lema para levantarse con el triunfo de3-0. En la eliminatoria de cara a Ale-

mania 2006, se encontraron en cuatroocasiones, con tres victorias paraMéxico. La primera de ellas enPuerto España, el 8 de septiembre de2004 y el marcador fue de 3-1; poste-riormente el 13 de octubre del mismoaño, en choque celebrado en la ciudadde Puebla, finalizaron 3-0 y final-mente, el 8 de junio de 2005 en Mon-terrey, el marcador fue 2-0. La últimaocasión en que se enfrentaron ocurrióel 12 de octubre de 2005, en PuertoEspaña, donde los trinitarios salieroncon la victoria de 2-1. De nueve par-tidos, en que se han visto las caras eneliminatoria, México, ha salido concinco victorias, cuatro en calidad delocal y una como visitante, un empatey tres derrotas. Δ
