WaTEr dIsTrICT

On July 29, the National drought Mitigation Cen-ter released its newest map, showing that 58 percent of California is now in excep-tional drought conditions, the most severe level. It’s the fi rst time more than half of California has been under this level of drought since the re-ports began in the late 1990s. This is truly an extraordinary drought, and the santa Clara valley Water district has taken extraordinary actions every step of the way to ensure our region preserves enough drinking water resources to sustain us through the year and possibly another critically dry one next year.

In January, just a week after Governor brown proclaimed a drought emergency, the wa-ter district board called for a countywide water use reduc-tion of 10 percent. as the dry winter continued and condi-tions worsened, the board called for a 20 percent water use reduction on Feb. 25. We called upon all water provid-ers (cities, the county and retail water companies) to implement mandatory mea-sures, as necessary, to reach this target.

We also formed a water con-servation ad hoc board com-mittee to discuss measures needed to meet the water use reduction target and make policy recommendations to the full board. I also partici-pate in our longstanding land-scaping and water recycling ad hoc committees, which are also helping to ensure we are addressing the latest drought related information.

The water district has been walking the talk. Water use at our own facilities is down by 29 percent between Febru-ary and June from 2013 use. We achieved this primarily by setting irrigation controllers to reduce programmed water

use by 20 percent, shutting off water for landscaping where possible and minimizing it elsewhere. staff has checked for leaks and reduced car washing.

In late July, the district an-nounced a new phase of its media campaign. The “brown is the New Green” campaign includes ads on radio, cable television, on-line, billboards, buses and banners at sport-ing events. The $460,000 multi-lingual ad campaign includes the distribution of free brown is the New Green lawn signs to encourage resi-dents to show off their brown lawns and to encourage oth-ers to follow suit. Water col-lection buckets are also part of the campaign, to encour-age residents to capture cold water from the shower while it’s warming up for use in the yard or to fl ush a toilet.

While we knew that it would take local water providers several weeks for water re-striction measures to be put into place and communicated residents and businesses, the results through June have not come close to reaching the 20 percent target. as a result, the board of directors in July approved up to $500,000 to hire a team of water waste inspectors to help identify wasteful water use. This team will help educate residents

and businesses on what local water restrictions are in place, refer them to any appropriate services, such as our Water Wise House Calls program, and if necessary, refer them to their local water provider, which could issue warnings or fi nes.

Paradoxically, the drought affords the water district with some opportunities as well. With many groundwater re-charge ponds now dry, we are able to conduct much-needed maintenance. by removing sediment in these ponds, they will be far more effective in their groundwater replenish-ment capacity, once the rains return. We are also advancing plans to expand recycled wa-ter use in our county.

No one can predict what next winter will bring. We cannot count on El Niño con-ditions bringing us more rain. We must prepare for the pos-sibility of yet another dry year. by saving water now, we can avoid even more burdensome water use restrictions in the future. Until the drought is over, we will continue to take prudent actions to manage our diminishing water sup-plies.

Please remember to use wa-ter wisely. www.valleywater.

OPINION

14 community latinos and only two corporations pro-vided the $12,000 in total awards. This is an encour-aging trend because back during the 1980’s the entire scholarship support was by local businesses. Is this in-dicative of a transition in the local latino community? I hope so because if those as-sisted by the american GI Forum scholarship Founda-tion, Inc. (est. 1974) were to contribute by mail only $100 per year, the total would be $100 x 1,600 past recipi-ents, which would amount to $160,000 (assuming 100% participation).

This is a very good trend because it lets our latino stu-dents know that their own community is really support-ive of their continuing educa-tion.

It is time for parents. school staff, especially counselors to encourage latino youth who show an interest in sTEaM to develop that interest with acquired information, knowledge and experience. The past ‘farmworker’ pro-fi les no longer apply though there are many who con-sider Mexican braceros to be very suited to stop labor farm work (i.e., campesinos). We are capable of more than farm and services labor.

Today access to money is often a factor. Money is your license to perform, produce, and consume. It may be bor-rowed, which involves an in-terest rate (the rental cost of loans). be very careful with ‘student loans’ because the best terms are provided by

the Federal Government and many foundations. Try to fi nd ones wherein the loan is forgiven if you agree to serve in an ‘underserved area’. and do evaluate the prevailing income of the career you un-dertake.

lEarN TO KNOW yOUr WOrTH IN THE labOr MaKETPlaCE. The U.s. department of labor pub-lishes average annual salaries for many jobs. Go to a busi-ness library. It is a good idea to do this before you go to a job interview. Know what annual wage level your pro-fession may command.

Take a personal business approach to ‘going to col-lege. To do what you propose to do, project your plans fi ve years into the future. Esti-mate your total income and expenses. learn to be a good steward of your personal business. learn that your assets, both tangible and intangible, minus the debts incurred determine your net worth. This effort will inform you about the cash fl ow you will need. you need to prepare yourself for pay-ment of tuition, fees, books, room and board, clothing, travel, health insurance and some recreation. Going to college allows you appreciate how protected from fi nan-cial concerns you were by your parents as they ‘raised you’. learn the defi nition of a contract; to negotiate; to ask questions which, when answered, provide you with the information you need to make reasonable informed decisions in your own inter-ests. Know that your future professional degree is an ‘in-tangible asset’ whose future value is based on knowledge and skills learned.

by accepting this scholar-ship aid, you are entering into a moral obligation to ‘give forward into the future’. This means that in your fu-

ture, you will volunteer to be a mentor, advisor, counselor, and role model to an aspir-ing person. When you earn more than $50,000 per year, plan to contribute $100 per year for ten years to a local scholarship foundation such as the sJ GI Forum scholar-ship Foundation, Inc. return to the community the assis-tance you were provided.

look around on the job to see who is the decision maker; get that person to be your mentor and role model. WHy? because it is decision makers who change society and commerce by undertak-ing one of several proposals, and deciding to implement that one with staffi ng, equip-ment, and funding. and that is how things get changed. Keep in touch to help your extended family continue to be proud of you and to know how you are progressing in your life’s journey.

develop your ability to communicate precisely and effectively in both English and spanish languages. Un-derstand that English is the language of science, technol-ogy, business and our gov-ernment in america. How-ever your spanish language connects you to your his-torical heritage, its culture, values, and therefore your identity as a latino. The la-tinos experience is rich and has contributed much to the current modern era through its diversity, music, and joyful lifestyle.

On Tuesday, July 22, at the sJ Moose lodge, the sJ GI Forum scholarship Foun-dation, Inc., awarded more than 10 thousand dollars in scholarship funds to local la-tino high school graduates.

since 1974, the san Jose american GI Forum has pro-vided $1,600,000 in scholar-ship funds to college bound latino graduates.

lorenzo Gamboa, associate director of Undergraduate admissions at santa Clara University was the keynote speaker.

Gamboa presented anec-dotes of his early life expe-riences. His mother was a janitor at the same school he attended. Gamboa said his parents were very frugal and sacrifi ced in order to sup-port him as he earned his

high school diploma. He was admitted into santa Clara University, where he works in admissions focusing on recruiting, counseling, and mentoring latino students at sCU.

“I want all of you to know and understand that you have a sensitive receptive person to go to at sCU’s ad-mission’s offi ce. If you have a concern or need, do come to my offi ce and let’s deal with that together,” Gamboa said in conclusion to his speech.

board members rosa Cam-pos, Mario ramirez, Mario sanchez, and rose Flores awarded the scholarships.

The $1,000 scholarships

were awarded to the follow-ing local high school gradu-ates: rafael Estrada Ceja, dora Cisneros, Myra Espi-noza Cisneros, lorna Cor-tez, Kristen Flores, Joshua luna, Cecil Moreno, Mathew

Naranjo, Henry Pacheco, Heidi Torres rodriguez, and Cynthia soto. ruben Tapia received the dan Campos Memorial scholarship from Campos’ wife, anita and daughter, rebecca.

The $12,000 in total awards was provided by the follow-ing sponsors and contribu-tors in collaboration with this Foundation governing board: america GI Forum, san Jose Chapter; augus-tine lerma & lupe aquilar; Castellano Family Founda-tion (alcario and Carmen Castellano), Kansen Chu, sJ City Council member, dis-trict 4; val de leon, allstate Insurance; Ismael r. Flores Memorial Fund; sylvia Co-varrubias Fong; sam licca-rdo, sJ City Council, district 3; lockheed Martin space Center, Frank lopez, sr. Me-morial Fund; ana luz & Jose Padilla; Esau ruiz Herrera, Esq.; Joel ruiz Herrera; “In Memory of daniel sando-val, aGIF member; Kristina sandoval, former scholarship recipient; and david Townes, 1987 scholarship recipient.

Flores said the scholarship

funds would be sent directly to the educational institute on behalf of the awardee. If the information on fi le has changed, the scholarship Foundation needs to be in-formed immediately.

The organization’s work is done on a volunteer basis. If you care to contribute or join as a volunteer, please phone President leticia rodriguez at 408-288-9470.

The state set a new record for the longest consecutive days without rainfall with 51 days in a row, “This is the driest three years in a row in recorded history in Califor-nia,” said California Natural resources secretary John laird. The previously held re-cord dates back to 1884 and again in 1924.

“a year ago, in January, Cal Fire, which is in my respon-sibility, responded to zero significant fires within the state,” said laird. by con-trast, “This year, in January, they responded to 473.” laid said two fires were also re-ported in Humboldt County, “arguably the wettest place in the state.”

Earlier this year, Governor Jerry brown addressed the state asking for a voluntary 20 percent water use reduc-tion. Water districts are now implementing fines or rais-ing the price of extra gallons used.

at a local level, santa Clara valley Water district, a wa-ter wholesaler launched a new campaign, “brown is the New Green,” to encour-age residents to reduce their outdoor watering by letting lawns turn a little brown. spokesman Marty Grimes said the public reception is positive, “People are looking for something more that they can do, they are seeing that other people are not taking those steps so they want to encourage their neighbors to do the same thing.” Grimes

said residents are asking for campaign signs for busi-nesses and households to spread awareness. He added that most people water their lawns more than needed.

laird said on average, 70 percent of water use is done outside.

“The key thing is that people just need to pull back on hab-its that were not efficient,” said laird. “Governments can do all they want, it’s the 38 million individual Califor-nians making their decisions each day that really decide how much water we use.”

In January, the state re-leased its “Water action Plan” detailing plans to manage water resources. laird said the plan covers restoring wet-

lands to desalting-removing the salt from seawater. Most importantly, said laird, the plan includes “conservation as a way of life, even when there is not a drought.” “We can’t assume it’s going to a rainy season next year. We have to be ready for doing this again next year if we don’t have a wet winter,” said laird who also mentioned austra-lia’s ten year long drought.

last year, the bay delta Conservation Plan was re-leased to be followed by an almost 8 month public com-ment period. The plan, creat-ed after a seven year research period, outlines 22 conserva-tion measures “restore the habitat, and make it a reliable source of water,” said laird.

Gone are the long sum-mer days that these youth spend in front of a televi-sion, instead of watching television, youth across san Jose are creating their own digital arts media on the other side of the television set. dozens of underserved students are learning the art of digital media and receiv-ing a chance to learn skills in photography, music, and fi lm production at the digital arts program ran by the city’s department of recreation and Neighborhood services (PrNs) at three city com-munity centers.

“The whole goal is cre-ate with purpose, so that there is meaning and mes-sage behind the projects, it depends on the art that they are interested in, it could be a song, it could be just pro-ducing a beat, photography, short fi lms, we do a lot of spoken word and perfor-mance drills,” said PrsN su-pervisor Phillip solis. “These students come from at-risk backgrounds and they have powerful stories and it’s just really inspiring to see them be successful in art.”

after success with stu-dents in the 13-18 age range, the program launched a youth summer camp pilot program to serve elementary age students. The program has also expanded to serve an

older crowd, seniors, to help teach them to create digital memoirs to share with their family. solis said the centers digital media is open to serve the community, though the focus is youth.

“This program is life changing for not only the mentees but the mentors, you learn more when you teach and when you learn what someone teaches, that amount of growth is not just benefi cial for our city but everyone around us, it’s very liberating to our spirit a a community,” added al-bert lutz-Paap, music media mentor.

The program launched in 2011 has already pro-duced success stories. an-drew vicente, better known as amplifi ed, got his start at seven Trees Community Center. Hip-hop artist vi-cente toured this summer in the 2014 vans Warped Tour, across 44 cities. “students even come in with ideas for songs, or they come in with nothing, just an interest in music. We show them differ-ent aspects that are available to them and we just expose them to everything possible and we’ll let them decide,” said ronnie Patania, a music studio director for the pro-gram.

Other seven Trees suc-cess, comes for student yvan Gonzalez. Gonzalez created the music video, “Patience,”

as a homage to his late older brother. The video won fi rst place in adobe’s nationwide youth voices competition.

“We didn’t know what we were creating. We didn’t know it was suddenly going to become a global sensa-tion, that would be the fi rst project that I cherished,” said creative director Marlo Cus-todio. Custodio said through the program adult commu-nity members have the op-portunity to see “what they deal with at home, what they deal with in the foster care system, see what they deal with in the everyday struggle of their lives.”

With a small team of fi ve, serving sometimes more than 500 students across seven Trees, roosevelt and Mayfair community centers, solis said program funding is an issue. “Our biggest is-sue is some type of sustain-able funding source, since the city has gone through so many cutbacks in the last few years. We’ve taken the biggest hit on the operational side, and so we’re really look-ing to collaborate with other agencies or other corporate sponsorships.” The cutbacks were almost half of PrNs operational budget for the next ten years.

For the future, the pro-gram hopes to become a feeder program for local media and arts programs at universities.

(NaPs)

small-business owners have something to be optimistic about, according to a recent study, which found that 84 percent of small-business leaders say they’re either maintaining or growing sales in 2014.

This is continued good news for the future of the economy, as small businesses make up the vast majority of com-panies in the U.s.—96 per-cent, according to the small business administration.

Notably, small businesses hired at a slower pace than medium-size and large com-panies last year, 12 percent changed employee hours from full- to part-time, and 34 percent gave smaller rais-es than in previous years.

although 57 percent of employees say they’re likely to accept a job with slightly lower compensation but better benefits, the data sug-gests that although employ-ees may be perfectly content with their jobs, better bene-fits could entice them to seek employment elsewhere.

These simple benefits-related tips can help small-business owners cultivate a productive workforce while keeping employees happy:

1. Maintain benefits of-ferings. according to the study, more than one-third of small-business employees said maintaining health care benefits is their most impor-tant benefits concern right now.

2. diversify benefits offer-ings so employees can fill in gaps in coverage. voluntary insurance is a great way for small businesses to boost current offerings at no direct cost to the company. In fact, 85 percent of small-business

employees consider volun-tary insurance part of a com-prehensive benefits program.

3. Communicate about benefits options. Employees appreciate face-to-face meet-ings when it’s related to new or changing benefits and small businesses do that bet-ter than their medium and large counterparts. sixty-eight percent of small busi-nesses communicate face-to-

face while me dium and large companies prefer e-mail.

4. Consider insurance bro-ker or agent assistance when it comes to understanding health care reform. small-business owners are less likely than medium and large companies to feel extremely or very prepared to address changes to the health care system this year.

New Driving Licenses Scams targeting the Immigrant Community

The San José Police Department wants to warn the community on scams targeting victims that want to obtain a California driver license for non documented drivers. Several other states have issued driving licens-es to the non documented drivers and now with the passing of AB 60, California will be issuing licenses. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is not issuing licenses until Jan 1, 2015.

SAN JOSE POLICE DEPARTMENT

Beware of the Scams: 1. Some criminals are asking for up to $1,000 each person to obtain a legal li-cense.2. Beware of agents claiming that they can help you by paying a fee. Some criminals are posing as DMV personnel, and lawyers with licenses. These impos-ters are illegally charging for services and licenses.3. Beware of false DMV websites or “How to get a California license” web pages.  The official website is www.dmv.ca.gov.4. Criminals are selling false documents to prove birth dates, and residency to present to the Department Motor Vehicle.5. If you are a victim or know of any-one who is criminally involved please call 911 or contact Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-STOP.

How to obtain a license: 1. Written Test: Pass a 36 question test. You can prepare and study the California Driver Handbook which is available in ten languages. www.dmv.ca.gov 2.

seguramente ya ha oído ha-blar de las tres grandes agen-cias de informes crediticios (Equifax, Experian y Tran-sUnion), que monitorean su historial financiero y emiten informes y calificaciones cre-diticias a los potenciales pres-tamistas. Pero, ¿sabía que hay decenas de otras agen-cias de informes especializa-dos que rastrean su historial en busca de actividades que pueden no aparecer en sus informes crediticios habitua-les, como cheques rebotados, pagos de servicios atrasados, reclamos de seguro y órdenes de prescripciones?

la mayoría de las personas no conocen de la existencia de estas agencias hasta que, repentinamente, son recha-zados al querer alquilar un departamento, abrir una cuenta corriente, adquirir una póliza de seguro o in-cluso conseguir un empleo o una promoción laboral. Pero debe saber que los poten-ciales propietarios, bancos, compañías de seguro y em-pleadores suelen solicitar in-formes especializados a estas agencias para evaluar mejor el riesgo de hacer negocios con usted.

si usted tiene un historial limpio y transparente, no hay problema pero, ¿y si sus registros tienen errores o, lo que es peor, si alguien ha usurpado su identidad y está ensuciando su historial con conductas incorrectas?

afortunadamente, hay una solución. bajo la ley federal, usted puede solicitar una copia de su informe a cada agencia una vez al año, gene-ralmente en forma gratuita. También tiene derecho a ob-

tener una copia gratuita cada vez que se tome una “medida adversa” en su contra por algo que aparezca en el in-forme. (Por ejemplo, si no le permiten abrir una cuenta corriente).

desafortunadamente, no hay una casa central para estas agencias de informes especializados por lo que tendrá que contactarse con cada una de ellas por sepa-rado. No obstante, la Ofici-na de Protección Financiera del Consumidor ha logrado alivianar este trabajo recopi-lando una lista con las agen-cias más utilizadas, junto con instrucciones e información de contacto para solicitar los informes.

We’ve all had dreams and goals in our younger years that seemed essential to our hap-piness, yet, for many of those dreams, we just never quite achieved them.

This doesn’t necessarily mean we’re unhappy with our current lives, but at some level we still may feel slightly frus-trated or disappointed about those missed goals.

While there’s no magic way to make all your dreams come true, you can take action to get closer to your life’s goals and lessen those feelings of frus-tration.

start by putting the past be-hind you. Unresolved anger and resentment over things that didn’t work out uses up energy but accomplishes nothing. Instead, you need to

begin managing your daily life so that it reflects who you are and what you value today.

start by evaluating your old dreams and goals. There is, for example, no “ideal” roman-tic relationship or “perfect” mate. but there can be some-one who can accept and care about the real you, and who is able to get things right more often than wrong. similarly, there’s no perfect job but there are work situations that can challenge you and provide a real sense of accomplishment.

Knowing yourself is vital to feeling more fulfilled. Identify your personal strengths and interests, and then put time and energy into nourishing them. don’t try to be some-one you’re not. Whatever you do well, do it frequently and proudly and you’ll find that rewards will follow. To achieve specific goals, it’s vital to take action toward them,

rather than simply dreaming about them and waiting for something to happen. small steps in the right direction make a difference -- maybe a first phone call, rewriting your resume, or taking a class. reaching the end result we want only will happen only if we take that first step.

you also want balance in your life. saying “no” to exces-sive demands on your time, talent or goodwill will allow you time for the things you really want to do, without the resentment and anger that comes from agreeing to what you really don’t want to do.

reaching your life’s goals means that you stop letting old beliefs and others’ ideas define who you are and what you have to do. Instead, ac-cept that you, and only you, can take action to reach the dreams and goals that really matter to you.

Keeping Your Life’s Goals Alive and Well

la actividad física no es lo primero que los padres o los maestros piensan cuando quieren aumentar el ren-dimiento académico de un niño, pero evidencia apoya la idea de que un poco de ejercicio para el cuerpo es beneficioso para el cerebro también.

“Una vida sedentaria y los malos hábitos alimenticios pueden reducir el rendi-miento de los niños en la escuela y comienza un ciclo de problemas de salud más adelante en la vida”, dice Kathleen Tullie, Fundado-ra y directora Ejecutiva de build Our Kids’ sucess y di-rectora de responsabilidad social para reebok. “En pocas palabras, un cuerpo sano y un cerebro sano van de la mano.”

así que ¿cómo se puede incorporar hábitos más sa-ludables en la rutina de su familia?

• Fines de semana activos: En lugar de un sábado o domingo perezoso, salga a la calle y empiece a mo-verse. lleve una pelota de fútbol al parque para un juego de pick-up o cami-ne un sendero local. Hacer ejercicio los fines de sema-na es un hábito regular de su familia, y esos hábitos se extenderán al resto de la se-mana también.

• El combustible durante todo el día: Un buen de-sayuno prepara a los hijos para un gran día. siga con un almuerzo y aperitivos saludables como nueces y frutas saludables para ayu-dar a los niños a evitar los

escollos de las máquinas de comida chatarra.

• Cocinar juntos: “Take-out” es muy cómodo cuan-do está limitado de tiempo, pero asegúrese de cocinar en casa por lo menos un par de veces a la semana. las comidas hechas en casa no solamente son la única ma-nera que usted puede estar segura exactamente de lo que usted está alimentando a su familia, sino también el acto de cocinar juntos es una gran oportunidad para impartir algunas lecciones acerca de la nutrición y co-mer bien.

• El tiempo de cama: El sueño adecuado es crucial para una mente y un cuer-po sano y funcional. Esta-blecer un horario regular para dormir, es la mejor manera de asegurarse que

los niños reciban una noche completa de descanso.

• Mantenga a su escuela involucrada: los niños de-ben tener una hora o más de actividad física diaria, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades. Por desgra-cia, la clase de educación fí-sica puede no ser suficiente. Investigue qué otras opor-tunidades tiene la escuela de su hijo para la actividad física.

los hábitos saludables no sólo reducen el riesgo de pro-blemas como la obesidad, la diabetes y las enfermedades del corazón, también pueden ayudar a los niños de prima-ria para un mayor éxito en el aula y fuera de ella. así que a dar a sus hijos una ventaja y animarles a ponerse en mo-vimiento.

With school just around the corner, staff members along with the director of somos Mayfair are gearing up for their continuous work, col-laborating with parents to promote literacy and educa-tion.

The non-profit organization well known for working with an immigrant community in East san Jose is in their 16th year. Executive director for the past three months, Ca-mille llanes-Fontanilla, has some goals of her own for the organization.

“One goal of mine is to make sure that we become very known for our core leadership development,” said llanes-Fontanilla.

somos Mayfair offers on-going training, promotes extensive peer mentorship, and most importantly, pro-vides leadership development training to its community members.

This september will mark llanes-Fontanilla’s fourth year with somos Mayfair. as the executive director, her job is to oversee the financial health and program imple-mentation of the organiza-tion. she makes sure the vi-sion and mission of the May-

fair community is being met through the work.

somos Mayfair prides itself in building trust in their re-lationships with community members. They provide the support in the individual’s leadership journey and as a whole. Their work includes parent engagement, policy change at the school district level in alum rock school district (arsd) and county.

“I think at the end of the day, the best thing about our work here at somos is to be able to see the deep level of connec-tion and relationship we have with this community,” said llanes-Fontanilla.

The organization coordi-nates and helps host a series of parent workshops. The work-

shops are framed around hav-ing parents understand the educational system, their role as parents in the home to pro-mote literacy and education.

There’s a parent workshop on positive parenting that goes over the kinds of skills needed to demonstrate an interest in their children’s education, being supportive, and really promoting social emotional growth in their children.

somos Mayfair also does a lot of work in the homes of Mayfair. The community is split up in different zones, each with their own ‘promo-tora’ (leader). Parents orga-nize and meet every other week where they discuss whatever issues they are fac-ing in the school system or

family matters. The issues are explored while considering various ways to address the challenge.

“There’s something differ-ent about this place, like the depth of relationship with the community members here is far deeper than I’ve ever seen at any other place,” said llanes-Fontanilla. “There’s just a different level of mutual respect.”

In the last two years, a lot of the work has been focused on Cesar Chavez Elementary school and the families there as well as arsd.

somos Mayfair has a par-ent organizing committee ‘empuje’ (push). They work on identifying policy issues at the school school district level. This year, they worked on a language access and transla-tion policy for arsd.

Families weren’t getting ac-cess to proper interpretation and translation services so the

parents pushed for a policy to be implemented and they won. The committee is work-ing with the school district to make sure that the dollars are flowing to implement that policy. It goes into affect this school year.

“We’re seen as a very strong latino serving community organization,” said llanes-Fontanilla. “We have a strong ability to train promotoras in this community, to lead peer mentor work, so that other community members can get engaged because it makes a way bigger difference for an-other parent to talk to them about the work they are do-ing.”

llanes-Fontanilla also makes sure there’s a strong board. Currently they have 8 members and are hoping to grow. she works with funders, government as well as foun-dations, corporations, and individual donors.

before joining somos May-

fair, llanes-Fontanilla was the director of development and communications at Kidango, another non-profit that serves a similar popula-tion, based out of Fremont. Eventually she wanted to do work in the area she grew up in.

llanes-Fontanilla’s family immigrated from the north-ern part of the Philippines in the 70s and 80s. Her grand-parents lived in Mayfair. she was born in san Jose and went to Mt. Pleasant High school. she understands spanish fluently although she doesn’t speak it.

“We don’t see these people as clients or consumers of a service, we see our commu-nity members as partners in this work and we really be-lieve that they have the capac-ity and the strength to drive change in this neighborhood,” said llanes-Fontanilla.

Con la escuela a la vuelta de la esquina, los miembros del personal junto con la di-rectora de somos Mayfair se están preparando para su colaboración continua con los padres para promover la alfabetización y la educación.

la organización sin fines de lucro conocida por trabajar con una comunidad de inmi-grantes en el este de san José se encuentra en su 16 º año. la directora Ejecutiva de los últimos tres meses, Camille llanes-Fontanilla, tiene al-gunos objetivos propios para la organización.

“Una de mis metas es asegu-rar que lleguemos a ser muy conocidos por nuestro desa-rrollo del liderazgo central”, dijo llanes-Fontanilla.

Este mes de septiembre marcará el cuarto año de llanes-Fontanilla con so-mos Mayfair. Como directora ejecutiva, su trabajo consiste en supervisar la aplicación de la salud y el programa fi-nanciero de la organización. Ella se asegura que la visión y misión de la comunidad de Mayfair se esta cumpliendo a través del trabajo.

“Creo que al final del día, lo mejor de nuestro trabajo aquí en somos es ser capaz de ver el profundo nivel de conexión y relación que te-nemos con esta comunidad”, dijo llanes-Fontanilla.

somos Mayfair también hace trabajo en las casas de Mayfair. la comunidad esta dividida en diferentes zo-nas, cada una con su propia ‘promotora’. los padres se organizan y se reúnen cada

otra semana donde discuten temas ya sea del sistema es-colar o asuntos familiares.

antes de unirse a somos Mayfair, llanes-Fontanilla fue la directora de desarrollo y comunicaciones de Kidan-go, otra organización sin fi-nes de lucro que sirve a una población similar, con sede en Fremont. Eventualmente, ella quería hacer trabajo en la zona donde creció.

“No vemos a estas personas como clientes o consumido-res de un servicio, vemos a nuestros miembros de la co-munidad como socios en este trabajo y realmente creo que tienen la capacidad y la fuer-za para impulsar el cambio en este barrio”, dijo llanes-Fontanilla.

San JoseCalIFOrNIa

san Jose Jazz continues to roll out stellar artists set to perform at the 25th anni-versary summer Fest 2014 taking place in and around Plaza de César Chavez Park in downtown san Jose, Ca from Friday, aug. 8 - sunday, aug. 10, 2014.

silicon valley’s premier an-nual music event, the 25th annual san Jose Jazz sum-mer Fest 2014 announces the addition of numerous heavyweight performers, in-cluding NyC’s leading soul-jazz pianist Kris bowers ap-pearing on the Jazz beyond stage; bay area favorite ledisi on the Kaiser Perma-nente Main stage; “salute to armando Peraza” featuring The Poncho sanchez band and special guests on the Main stage; two exclusive label showcases featuring artists from the celebrated san Jose-born stones Throw records (Jazz beyond stage) and Harlem’s innovative Motéma Music (Cafe stritch stage), and much more!

Nationally recognized as one of the biggest latin festi-vals in the country, san Jose Jazz extends its longstand-ing commitment of present-ing the very best latin music throughout summer Fest 2014’s numerous stages, in-cluding the Kaiser Perman-ente Main stage, blackbird Tavern stage, salsa stage, yP Gordon biersch stage, and others. as California boasts the largest latino popula-

tion in the Us, summer Fest 2014 marks the evolution of an iconic festival with latin roots at the heart of its iden-tity. Today, san Jose Jazz also announces newly confirmed latin artists, including The Poncho sanchez band pay-ing tribute to percussionist armando Peraza (George shearing, Cal Tjader, san-tana) with an all-star band featuring guest artists John santos, Pete Escovedo, and Emil richards.

legendary percussionist armando Peraza was Cu-ban by birth, but called the bay area home for a major-ity of his life. Peraza came to the Us alongside fellow Cu-ban music legends Mongo santamaria and Celia Cruz. While these fellow icons were embraced by East Coast fans, Peraza was renowned throughout California and the bay area. Jazz legends such as stan Kenton, Frank sinatra and Peggy lee made Peraza their first call percus-sionist, and his real contribu-tions were from his record-ings with George shearing, Cal Tjader and santana. Even years after retiring, Peraza could be seen occa-sionally sitting in at yoshi’s, hanging with his family at san Jose Jazz summer Fest or haunting the percussion departments of b street Mu-sic in san Mateo or Haight ashbury Music in san Fran-cisco.

For the first time in its his-tory, the prominent music industry website jazzweek.com holds the annual Jazz-

Week summit in san Jose, in conjunction with sum-mer Fest. On aug. 7 & 8, jazz broadcasters, agents, artists and other jazz profession-als from all over the country will gather at The Fairmont san Jose to discuss ways to program and promote jazz. Many of the participants will stay on through the weekend to enjoy the Fest.

To commemorate the 25th festival season, san Jose Jazz releases a limited-edition commemorative book; a beautiful, keepsake volume highlighting the Fest’s past decades, present, and fu-ture.

los miembros del Proyecto Corazón pintaron un mural en el este de san José para representar a su compromiso de paz y no violencia el pasado sábado 2 de agosto. El mural se encuentra en Huran drive y avenida Cunningham, enfrente de Overfelt High school, una área que se carac-teriza por la actividad de las pandillas.

El Proyecto Corazón, un programa piloto, financiado por el Condado de santa Clara, trabaja con jóvenes de las zonas conocidas por la violencia de pandillas. El proyecto sirve para transfor-mar a la juventud en líderes y para fortalecer sus comunidades en el futuro.

las especies invasivas – in-sectos, plantas y otros organis-mos- tienen un impacto ne-gativo en la ecología, biodi-versidad, economía y hasta en la salud. En la agricultura, pueden causar serios estra-gos y cuantiosas pérdidas. En California se estima que las pérdidas a causa de especies invasoras ascienden a 3 mil millones de dólares por año.

“aquí en California, estamos viendo más y más de estas especies no nativas y muy perjudiciales; y no solo son insectos, son además malezas y patógenos. Estas especies es-tán afectando todos los aspec-tos de nuestras vidas, desde la

conservación de las especies nativas, hasta la agricultura y la salud pública”, indicó Matt daugherty, entomólogo de Extensión Cooperativa en el plantel de la Universidad de California en riverside.

Cada año se establecen en California seis nuevas espe-cies invasivas. El clima y la geografía tan singular del Es-tado dorado proporcionan una diversidad de ecosiste-mas idóneos para el estableci-miento de una gran variedad de plagas, pero además por ser un estado fronterizo, con un acelerado movimiento de mercancías y personas que fa-cilitan su introducción.

¿Por qué son un problema las plagas invasoras? El pro-

blema radica en que las pla-gas invasivas destruyen poco a poco el ecosistema, causan enfermedades, destrucción y, en algunos casos, la muerte de árboles nativos como es el caso con los robles y pinos que han experimentado daños muy severos por parte de insectos y enfermedades invasoras.

Daugherty, cita tres ejemplos de especies invasivas que

mantienen preocupada a la comunidad científica:

•El Mosquito del Nilo Oc-cidental el cual transmite una enfermedad que puede ser mortal. El virus se propa-ga cuando un mosquito pica a un ave infectada y luego pica a una persona.•El psílido asiático de los

cítricos es un insecto portador de la bacteria que causa la en-fermedad del huanglongbing que mata a los árboles de cí-tricos.•El escarabajo Polyphagous

shot Hole borer es una plaga que tiene un hongo que cau-sa una enfermedad conocida como la marchitez de fusa-rium, la cual causa la muerte de árboles de aguacate.•los expertos están investi-

gando de dónde vienen las especies invasivas, qué facto-res facilitan su establecimien-to, y qué enemigos naturales hay en su entorno nativo. Un mejor entendimiento de este proceso ayudará a encontrar opciones para su control y erradicación.

Especies invasivas causan serios daños y pérdidas

Many of us are looking to green our lifestyles today and this commitment to Mother Earth can also include how and where we travel. and those of us looking to take a vacation that benefits instead of harms the natural environ-ment no longer have to travel to the ends of the Earth to do so. In the so-called “lower 48,” many resorts and desti-nations work hard to mini-mize their impact on the en-vironment.

One example is California’s Costanoa, where guests can use tented bungalows—sa-fari-style canvas tents with hardwood floors, heaters and real beds with high thread-count sheets—as base camps for exploring the surrounding 30,000 acres of state parks and wildlife preserves. Grill-ing stations for cooking as well as bathrooms with show-ers are scattered around the grounds so guests can take care of worldly concerns. In-terested guests should think ahead as the bungalows book up a year or more in advance.

In Washington state, eco-tourists should check out the rolling Huts, a series of small mobile cabins de-signed by modern architect Tom Kundig and situated in a field alongside the rushing Methow river amid one of the nation’s best networks of cross-country ski and moun-tain biking trails. The “huts” sleep up to four and are heated with wood-burning fireplaces, while the adjacent restaurant Kelly’s serves up lo-cal organic fare with panache. If you aren’t lucky enough to score one of the six huts, you can always rough it in the canvas platform tents down a footpath and a world away from the everyday hubbub.

If a more refined form of green is your thing, try san Francisco’s Orchard Garden Hotel, designed from the ground up to qualify for the U.s. Green building Coun-cil’s leadership in Energy and Environmental design (lEEd) status. among other green touches, the hotel’s guestrooms feature keycard-based energy control system, eco-friendly bath products, and decor utilizing natural woods and fabrics.

another option is the rock Harbor lodge on remote Isle royale on Michigan’s lake superior. accessible by boat or seaplane only, the lodge of-fers direct access to the 893 square-mile island wilderness that is america’s least visited national park—where wolves, moose, loons, beaver, fox and other wildlife rule. The lodge rents boats, kayaks and ca-noes and offers guided fishing and sightseeing tours. Given its northerly location and lack of light pollution, the lodge also serves up free viewing of the Northern lights.

For another type of domestic eco-travel experience, sign up for a trip with Earthwatch, a nonprofit that sends citizen-

scientists on environmental research trips with leading scientists. some of the group’s upcoming lower 48 trips include exploring boston’s urban forest, researching the causes and effects of rising tides in south Carolina and uncovering the mysteries of ancient Colorado.

Of course, there are many other ways to indulge in eco-travel without leaving the continental U.s. a simple Internet search for eco-travel and a specific region will surely yield plenty of worthy options for places to go to get away from that computer screen and interact directly with the natural world.

El juvenil actor y cantante diego amozurrutia Torres landa promociona su segun-do sencillo “sin miedo”, que se desprende de su álbum de-but como solista que saldrá para finales de este año.

En entrevista con Notimex, amozurrutia señaló que está enfocado a que su propuesta “tenga un mensaje y que sea honesta, más que pensar en la fama o éxito que pudiera obtener”.

recordó que su inquietud por la música ha sido desde siempre: “de hecho yo em-pecé a cantar en ´Cómplices al rescate´, estuve en la agru-pación conocida como bu-

rundikids, tal vez me inclino a la actuación por lo que he logrado, pero mis raíces están en el canto”.

sobre su disco, indicó que tendrá una base de pop, r&b, hip hop y electro pop, éste último idóneo para los centros nocturnos y antros: “Quiero llegarle a todos los sectores de la sociedad”.

El actor agregó que en el terreno de la actuación tiene ofertas de cine y de televisión, pero está enfocado en el dis-co: “Estoy bien con Televisa y no existe veto alguno, a pesar de que he tenido la oferta de otras televisoras; en México es el único país donde existe este concepto del veto, en otros lugares mientras más

trabajes más oportunidades tienes”.

Puntualizó que desea que el público lo reconozca por su estrega, pues se considera productor, bailarín, composi-tor y cantante: “Estoy conten-to con esto y creo que la gente me conocerá en mil facetas, el disco estará para finales de 2014, de manera independi-ente, el primer sencillo ya se soltó ´duele perderte´ y el segundo es ´sin miedo´”.

El actor, quien ha partici-pado en el programa “la rosa de Guadalupe” y en la pelícu-la “divina confusión”, men-cionó que hasta el momento no tiene el título del mate-rial discográfico, mientras no haya una fecha exacta para su lanzamiento.

la actriz sara Manni dijo que se siente convencida que con la nueva versión de la película “Más negro que la noche”, sí se puede hacer un buen cine de terror en México.

“Todo el equipo quedó sat-isfecho con el resultado del proyecto, estamos emocio-nados. Nos quedó claro que se puede hacer buen cine de terror, la producción y actu-ación son increíbles”, detalló la actriz, en entrevista con Notimex.

asimismo, añadió que de-bido a la buena relación de los productores con distri-buidoras a nivel mundial, la película podrá llegar a salas de exhibición de Estados Unidos en septiembre próx-imo, y después a países como rusia y Japón.

“Me parece maravilloso que se distribuya a nivel in-ternacional porque tanto el público de otros países podrá disfrutar del cine mexicano de terror, y nosotros como artistas salimos ganando ya que nos damos a conocer y de esta forma se crea empleo para los actores”, mencionó.

En cuanto a su personaje, la

joven resaltó que interpreta a la mala de la historia, quien desatará el terror en las cu-atro chicas, incluida su sob-rina.

“Mi personaje se llama ‘Ofelia’, aparezco en el ‘flash-back’ de la historia y hago ese papel pero cuando es joven”, precisó.

Manni comentó que la respuesta del público en los festivales donde se ha proyectado el filme ha sido excelente, “el objetivo se está cumpliendo, sí ha generado terror”.

respecto a las diferen-cias entre la versión pasada y ésta, sara destacó que a pesar de ser la misma, sí su-frió cambios que refrescarán la trama.

“sé que mucha gente está casada con la versión an-terior, pero también sé que muchos esperan ver este ‘re-make’ y sobre todo porque ahora se podrá disfrutar en 3d”, abundó.

En cuanto a sus proyectos, la actriz aseguró que tiene ofertas para iniciar telenove-la en azteca, además de que protagonizará una película en Colombia.

“la cinta trata temas de corrupción y narcotráfico que suceden en Colombia, soy la única mexicana que participa, lo cual me enor-gullece. También estoy probando diversos papeles como Tina Modotti o la dio-sa hindú saraswati, para una nueva historia sobre la vida de Frida Kahlo, bajo la direc-ción de la irakí Ishtar yasin”, puntualizó.

Lanzará su álbum debut con ritmos de pop, R&B, hip hop y electro pop

In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kad-am family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France.

Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French res-taurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it.

En tan sólo unas cuantas horas, la ciudad de Silverton que-da devastada por una arremetida sin precedentes de los tor-nados más violentos que se han visto. La ciudad entera se en-cuentra a la merced de estos ciclones erráticos y mortíferos, y los cazadores de tormentas predicen que lo peor está aún por llegar. La mayoría de la gente busca refugio, mientras que otros corren hacia el vórtice, poniendo a prueba los límites a los que un cazador de tormentas llegaría para conseguir esa fotografía única.

Contada desde los distintos puntos de vista de cazadores de tormentas profesionales, amateurs en búsqueda de un gol-pe de adrenalina, y de los valientes habitantes de la ciudad, “Into the Storm” te avienta directamente al ojo de la tor-menta para que experimentes a la Madre Naturaleza en su estado más extremo.

La ciudad necesita héroes. La oscuridad se ha instalado sobre Nueva York: Shredder y su malvado Foot Clan lo tienen todo bajo su férreo control, desde la policía hasta los políticos. El futuro es desalentador hasta que cuatro insólitos hermanos excluidos de la sociedad se alzan desde las alcantarillas y descubren su destino como los Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Las tortugas deberán trabajar con la intrépida reportera April O’Neil (Megan Fox) y su ocurrente camarógrafo Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) para salvar a la ciudad y desentrañar el diabólico plan de Shredder.

viajar en astral signifi ca abandonar el cuerpo físico, trascender la materia y viajar en espíritu a cualquier lugar que decidamos, puede pare-cer demasiado fantástico pero es real. El espíritu es capaz de abandonar el cuerpo físico y viajar en cuestión de segun-dos a través del tiempo y el es-pacio. Esta práctica se realiza mediante una profunda con-centración frente a un espejo de buen tamaño. Para iniciar el ritual se aconseja estar muy relajado, hacer una medita-ción profunda y rezar sus ora-ciones preferidas, puede uti-lizar velas blancas o rojas de preferencia y quemar un poco de incienso de ámbar o almiz-cle. la concentración debe dirigirse directamente en un punto que está localizado en-tre el tercer ojo o chacra nú-mero seis y la chacra número siete o chacra del espíritu.

Para realizar este ejercicio de elevación espiritual se ne-cesita estar muy relajado, con buen ánimo y sobre todo go-zar de buena salud.

ya que haya meditado de manera profunda, comience a observar su rostro en el espejo y dirija la vista al punto an-teriormente mencionado, el viaje astral dará inicio cuando su rostro comience a nublarse lentamente hasta que no vea nada más que una silueta de tono oscuro, posteriormente observará como su fi sonomía comienza a cambiar, en ese preciso momento habrá de observar como lucía en sus vidas anteriores, uno a uno se irán refl ejando todos los rostros de sus pasadas reen-carnaciones, descubriendo de ese modo quien fue en otros planos terrenales. los diver-sos rostros que observe irán cambiando rápidamente en un lapso muy breve hasta que logre ver el rostro de su pri-mera reencarnación y es en ese preciso instante en el que

el espíritu puede abandonar el cuerpo físico por unos se-gundos y comenzar a viajar en astral.

Este ritual espiritual requie-re de práctica, paciencia y fre-cuencia. Es muy probable que en los primeros intentos no ocurra nada o quizá solamen-te observe su rostro nublado frente al espejo, sin embargo, con un poco de práctica lo-grará observar como lucía su rostro en sus vidas anteriores.

Cuando se logra viajar en astral se adquiere una con-ciencia espiritual más elevada que sirve de apoyo para poder ver, sentir o comunicarse con seres espirituales que habitan en otras dimensiones. El viaje astral se prolonga por tan sólo unos breves instantes, sin em-bargo; es un ritual místico que todo ser humano puede expe-rimentar y así ser plenamente consciente de las energías que lo conforman, la energía cor-poral y la energía espiritual.

El delantero felino Emanuel villa consideró que américa y Tigres tienen calidad simi-lar en sus equipos, pero dejó en claro que su equipo busca-rá el triunfo por los primeros lugares de la tabla general en el Torneo apertura 2014.

“son dos grandes ofensivas, ambos tienen buenos plan-teles, individualidades, creo que el que se va a llevar el partido será el que haga me-jor las cosas en conjunto”.

agregó que las Águilas “sa-ben que somos un equipo muy poderoso, todos los que van a enfrentar a Tigres lo sa-ben, pero una cosa es que lo piensen y otra que lo diga yo”.

al término del entrena-miento de la escuadra en el estadio Universitario, el ata-

cante dijo que sin duda el conjunto capitalino es uno de los grandes del futbol mexi-cano, por lo que una victoria será una inyección anímica para los de la UaNl.

destacó que se enfrentarán al actual líder del torneo “que seguramente estará en ligui-lla, va a ser candidato al título

y para nosotros conseguir un buen resultado, nos dará la confianza”.

villa dijo que el triunfo les permitiría acercarse a los pri-meros sitios de la clasificación general, por lo que lucharán al máximo por obtener los tres puntos este sábado en el estadio Universitario.

El presidente del Comité Olímpico Mexicano (COM), Carlos Padilla becerra, ase-guró que el que Nuevo león haya ganado la sede del Preo-límpico varonil de basquet-bol es un logro importante en las aspiraciones para el Mun-dial de 2019.

“Es un tema que estuvimos analizando desde cuando peleamos la sede, siempre México estuvo muy cercano en serlo, por eso vino una comisión revisora de FIba para ver la organización del centrobasket en Monterrey y se vio complacida tanto por la organización como por la afición”, dijo Padilla becerra.

Indicó que FIba améri-cas determinó, junto con la

CONadE y el COM que sea Monterrey, Nuevo león, la sede de este evento, por lo que ahora dependerá de un análisis si también se busca la sede del Mundial de la espe-cialidad en 2019.

“la tenemos como posi-bilidad, pero sólo como in-tención, vamos a ver qué resultados tenemos con el Preolímpico y de ahí vamos a saber qué se hará, porque es un evento que requiere una gran organización, inversión y, desde luego, tener una co-lumna vertebral que permita no gastar demasiado”, expu-so.

Padilla becerra comentó que ahora en el Congreso de la Federación Internacional, en España, se expondrá el tema para ver si es factible o

no tener las aspiraciones de organizar el evento.

“alberto García –secretario de FIba- ha hecho llegar a la internacional la intención, estamos en estudio junto con Jesús Mena, en Conade, y se tomará la decisión con el go-bierno federal si es factible”, abundó.

En relación al preolímpico de basquetbol en Monte-rrey, el dirigente deportivo comentó que se programó al final de los Juegos Panameri-canos de Toronto 2015.

Padilla becerra acudió al abanderamiento a las selec-ciones nacionales a los Jue-gos Olímpicos de la Juventud en Nanjing y los mundiales de voleibol en Italia y Polo-nia.

The IPa’s Teen leadership Council (TlC) was created in March 2011 by the Inde-pendent Police auditor, Judge ladoris Cordell (ret.). The TlC provides san Jose youth with an increased awareness of IPa services; an under-standing of city government and local law enforcement; information about the laws that impact young people; the opportunity to advise IPa staff about conducting effec-tive outreach to youth; and the opportunity to actively participate in IPa outreach activities.

recent membership re-cruitment efforts produced 35 applications from 23 dif-ferent high schools. a total of 15 new members were se-lected to join the group, all of whom live and/or attend school in san Jose. Judge Cordell and IPa senior analyst diane doolan-di-az meet with the group each month to hear guest speakers, including Mayor Chuck reed, sJPd Chief larry Esquivel,

and a number of local lead-ers and elected offi cials. They also work on TlC proj-ects. annually, the youth par-ticipate in a retreat at a local hotel, a trip to sacramento to meet their elected offi cials, and various community ac-tivities such as National Night Out. TlC activities are fund-ed through generous grants from the Castellano Family Foundation, Inc., and the Co-merica Foundation, Inc.

since the inception of the group, the IPa and staff have proof-read numer-ous college essays, coached TlC members on college interviewing, provided ref-

erences for part-time jobs, written letters of recommen-dation, and connected TlC members with support staff at local colleges and universi-ties.

TlC alumni have gone on to attend a wide range of colleges and universities, including the University of California berkeley, santa Clara Univer-sity and de anza Community College, etc. TlC alumni of-ten remain in contact with the IPa offi ce, contributing their time to IPa outreach and at-tending TlC meetings during summers and other school breaks.
