Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

In light of what is going on in this nation with regard to local police law enforcement practices, it is essential that San Jose’s diverse community be involved in the selection of the next Independent Police Auditor. San Jose is one of 200 cities which have civilian oversight of local police law enforcement. The mission of the Office of the Independent Police Auditor (IPA) is four-fold: (1) To provide independent oversight of, and instill confidence in, the complaint process through objective review of police misconduct investigations. (2) To conduct outreach to the San Jose community, (3) To propose thoughtful policy recommendations to the San Jose City Council, and (4) To strengthen the relationship between the San Jose Police Department and the community it serves. Complaints of police misconduct can be filed with the IPA in person or by phone (408-794-6226), fax (408-977-1053), or email (Ind_Pol_Aud@sanjoseca. gov). The current IPA Judge LaDoris Cordell (retired) will retire as San Jose’s IPA this coming July 3, 2015. During five years of addressing the challenges facing IPA operations, Judge Cordell has initiated programs which were once not deemed possible. Her approach was always to make law enforcement fair to the community (i.e., the people) and the police. The outcome was new levels of confidence, trust, understanding and cooperation. Judge Cordell practiced ‘evidence based decision mak-

ing’. It was this approach which enabled this IPA to change several police policies and practices for the better. Effective outreach, transparency, and an ability to make ‘win/win’ proposals were the hallmark of her tenure. One such practice stopped was “unreported individual detainments”. Individual were stopped by a police officer; usually asked to sit on the curb, and after some time passed were released without being informed about the ‘probably cause’ basis of that action and did not receive a citation. Today all these ‘detainments’ are reported. By collecting the database pertinent to this practice, it was possible to reduce the number of such detainments having no reasonable ‘probable cause’. The new procedure and practice is transparent and more appropriate. Individual freedom and civil rights are no longer compromised. The majority of detainees in our local county jails are persons of color (Hispanics and Blacks). So it behooves the local Hispanic community to take a great interest in participating in the selection of the next IPA. What Judge Cordell has accomplished to date during her five years as the San Jose’s IPA is just a beginning of what needs to be accomplished if this San Jose diverse community is to experience ‘equitable justice’. After all, each sworn police officer is really ‘a public civil servant’ who is duty bound to even-handedly enforce the approved S.J. Police Duty Manual (which is posted online). The IPA’s services will always be a work in progress. New developments which may improve local law enforcement may be properly reviewed and evaluated by the IPA prior to making a recommendation. New approaches such as the use of

drones and body worn cameras need to receive public input prior to being authorized by the San Jose City Council for implementation. Today all citizen’s complaints (560 during 2013) are reviewed by both the Internal Affairs and IPA. This practice results in a higher level of confidence, trust, transparency and acceptance by the community. Community safety and security is enhanced when both residents and police work together. Police involved shootings which result in the death of a suspect are not reviewed today by the IPA. The current review process is not fully transparent (criminal grand juries hold closed sessions). Of some 500 cases, only one officer was sustained. (i.e., held accountable and responsible). Actions which lead up to the incident are currently not admissible evidence. There is a need to include all that leads up to the shooting action taken to ensure more of these law enforcement incidents be fully adjudicated by a court having jurisdiction. The Office of he IPA has been placed in a constructive ‘value added’ trajectory under Judge Cordell’s leadership. Its staff is very capable and committed to its mission. I recommend that any interested candidate review the 2013 IPA Year End Report online. (and the 2014 version when available) to obtain a comprehensive view of the range of issues and outreach activities being performed at this time. Since receiving a citation or being arrested is the portal leading to courts, jails, payment of fines, etc., it is appropriate, as major stakeholders, for the Hispanic community to become involved in the selection of the next IPA. Do not let others make that appointment without your input.

El asunto es que para poder hacerlo y para sacar de ello la mayor cantidad de ventajas posible, nos es primordial manejar los dos idiomas. Muchos hispanos educados en Estados Unidos dejan de lado su formación en el idioma español, ignorando que conocer bien esta lengua, no solo les abre las puertas a un casi infinito mundo de aprendizaje y diversión, si no también, a todo un universo de posibilidades laborales y profesionales. Luisa Fernanda Montero LA RED HISPANA Dicen los que saben que los latinos en Estados Unidos tenemos lo mejor de dos mundos. Yo creo que es verdad. Somos una mezcla única que conjuga todas las ventajas que hemos recibido por sangre gracias a nuestras raíces, hayamos nacido aquí o allá. La alegría, el ritmo, el aprecio por los valores familiares y morales son algunas de esas ventajas que llevamos los hispanos, por ser hispanos. Lo bueno del cuento es que podemos aplicarlo aquí, en el país de las oportunidades, el desarrollo y la libertad que hemos escogido para vivir.

Marzo, a propósito, es el mes nacional del fomento de la lectura una oportunidad perfecta para recordar que nunca es tarde para aprender, si es que hemos dejado atrás el aprendizaje o uso del español y que - tanto o más importante - es nuestro deber hacer lo posible por cultivar en nuestros hijos el amor por la lectura y la lectura en español. El tiempo que dediquemos a leer con nuestros hijos, a contarles cuentos, historias y leyendas o a transmitirles las historietas que nos contaban nuestros padres y nuestros abuelos, puede hacer una sustancial diferencia en su vida. Leerle a nuestros hijos pequeños, e incluso a aquellos que no han nacido puede hacer

maravillas en su cerebro sediento de información. En este mes en el que celebramos la lectura, vale la pena recordar la importancia que ésta tiene en el desarrollo intelectual de nuestros hijos. Debemos instarlos a que asuman el idioma español como algo que les pertenece, que lo lean, que lo escriban y por supuesto que lo hablen. Ser bilingües les será de gran ayuda en sus vidas. Pero además es importante tener en cuenta que los cerebros de las personas bilingües -según los científicos - son más activos y flexibles debido al constante cambio que realizan entre dos sistemas lingüísticos diferentes. Para los bilingües es más fácil usar la lógica, enfocarse, tomar decisiones, recordar. Si somos hispanos el español es parte de nuestra vida, de nuestra cultura, de aquello que somos como seres humanos. Aplicar a conciencia las ventajas de nuestros dos mundos, seguramente nos traerá muchos beneficios. Para información de cómo aprender inglés visita LaRedHispana. com

EDUCATION

Maryah Samarron EL OBSERVADOR Often, when things begin to fall apart, it leaves room for something better to fall together. This is exactly the case for Building 100 at Andrew P. Hill High School. On Monday, March 23rd, 2015 the ribbon cutting ceremony for the beautifully reconstructed building took place. Faculty members, students, the Board of a Trustees, and many more, came together to attend the opening celebration of this new addition to the school. A flag salute by Andrew P. Hill’s very own JR ROTC opened up the welcoming of the attendees by Principal Bettina Lopez, as she gave her heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who contributed to help make this dream come true. As building 100 was previously a building which had finally come to the end of its use, the new and improved building carries various features to

celebrate. It includes three general education classrooms, six visual arts classrooms, and two science labs. These classrooms have no “front” and “back” ends so that teachers may walk around and execute lessons from any end of the classroom, while students would not be forced to adjust their seating arrangements. In addition, an outdoor learning area is available to students where they can have a closer look, pertaining to subjects such as botany, biology, photography, and art. The vision for this project began in 2010; moreover, Building 100 is a physical manifestation of the commitment, collaboration, and dedication of the members involved in the construction of this new, inspirational educational facility. The East Side Union High School District has exemplified how they are making wise decisions with our new generation’s trust fund. The Board of Trustees is greatly acknowledged in this event, as they have

portrayed their efforts in effectively contributing to our community. Students have something to be proud of, when they walk through the doors of Building 100, as they are taking part in their generation’s (and generations to come) quality educational environment, equipped with the most modern technology. Andrew P. Hill’s newest addition gives students, faculty members, and our community something extraordinary to smile about, as we all seek to aim at the target of raising our youth with dreams to pursue. The reconstruction of Building 100, was a dream that many had in their heart; and with time, dedication and determination, the collaboration of various leaders, was able to make this dream come to pass. The youth of our generation have not only been given a new addition to their learning facilities, but another amazing example of the ability to make turn their hopes into reality.

Por Jason Alderman Para muchos adolescentes, no hay nada más emocionante que recibir su primer sueldo por un trabajo de verano –un pasaje seguro a la diversión y la libertad. También es una buena oportunidad para que los padres los incentiven a administrarlo correctamente. Pero antes, los padres o tutores deben hacer algunos trámites necesarios. Los adolescentes que trabajan deben tener su propio número del seguro social (SSN) para poder postularse legalmente en un trabajo. También necesitarán el SSN para abrir una cuenta bancaria para que le depositen su sueldo. Dependiendo de la ley del estado, los menores de 18 años pueden tener que abrir una cuenta bancaria de custodia junto a sus padres o tutores. También es importante que los padres consulten con un asesor financiero o fiscal calificado sobre los ingresos del hijo, especialmente si pueden llegar a afectar alguna inversión que esté a nombre del hijo. Luego, hay que alentar a los hijos a que empiecen a buscar trabajo. El mercado laboral para los adolescentes estadounidenses no ha sido fácil en los últimos años y para encontrar determinados tipos de ofertas laborales hay que empezar a buscar-

las varios meses antes del verano. Las redes también son importantes –los adolescentes pueden contactarse con amigos, vecinos y otros adultos y preguntarles sobre posibles trabajos en la comunidad. Además, siempre es bueno que los adolescentes aprendan a redactar un currículum vitae y a desarrollar práctica en entrevistas laborales. La página Landing a Job (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/lifeevents/work/ landingjob.php) del sitio web de Habilidades Financieras Prácticas ofrece información importante para ayudar a los adolescentes que están comenzando. Los padres también pueden ayudar, buscándoles oportunidades dentro de las categorías laborales que les interesa a sus hijos, estimulándolos para que cumplan con los plazos para presentar las solicitudes y estando al tanto de las leyes de trabajo infantil federales, estatales y locales (http://www.youthrules.dol. gov/know-the-limits/index. htm) para que no caigan en manos de empleadores inescrupulosos. La tecnología cambia muy rápido, por lo que los adolescentes que dominan la tecnología pueden correr con ventaja a la hora de buscar trabajo en línea. Los principales motores de búsqueda laboral contienen

gran cantidad de ofertas de trabajo temporario y muchos permiten que los usuarios personalicen sus búsquedas para encontrar puestos y empleadores específicos. No obstante, hay que recordar a los hijos que controlen su actividad en los medios sociales antes de comenzar a buscar trabajo, ya que todo lo que publiquen en Internet podrá ser visto por su potencial empleador. Otro de los pasos importantes en la vida del adolescente que trabaja es la actividad bancaria, aunque no necesariamente tienen que esperar a tener un trabajo para empezar a practicarla. Muchos padres abren cuentas bancarias para sus hijos desde que les dan su primera mesada –después de todo, la digitalización bancaria facilita el monitoreo y la transferencia del dinero sin tener que ir al banco o al cajero automático. El pago del sueldo, ya sea en cheque o depositado digitalmente, nos obliga aún más a familiarizarnos con el sistema bancario. Averigüe en el banco qué tipos de cuentas ofrecen para niños y adolescentes – algunos bancos ofrecen una amplia variedad de cuentas de custodia donde los padres pueden hacer un seguimiento de los gastos de su hijo y sus ahorros.

El primer trabajo de un adolescente es una buena oportunidad para empezar a desarrollar conocimientos sobre presupuestos, ahorros e inversiones a largo plazo. Su hijo puede querer trabajar en el verano con la intención de ahorrar dinero para algo en particular –un teléfono celular o un viaje –o puede tener una meta más lejana, como ahorrar para los gastos de la universidad. El sitio web de Habilidades Financieras Prácticas ofrece un tutorial sobre presupuestos (http:// www.practicalmoneyskills. c o m /p e r s o n a l f i n a n c e / savingspending/budgeting/) y calculadores de pre-

supuestos (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ calculators/budgetGoals. php?calcCategory=budget) para diferentes metas. Cuando aparece una oportunidad laboral, hay algo más que los padres pueden hacer. Si lo contratan, su hijo tendrá que leer y firmar un montón de papeles que pueden ser confusos. Los padres pueden ayudarlo a revisar esos documentos antes de firmarlos. La mayoría estará relacionada con la retención de impuestos, pero algunos podrían contener acuerdos laborales especiales que los jóvenes tal vez no entiendan.

Cuando su hijo reciba su primer sueldo, podría sentarse a revisar ese primer recibo o comprobante de pago electrónico. Hay muchos adultos que no terminan de entender sus retenciones, por lo que sería muy bueno que sus hijos lo comprendan ya desde el comienzo de su vida laboral. En resumen: El trabajo de verano de un adolescente es una buena forma de que los padres ayuden a buscar trabajo a sus hijos y les enseñen a administrar su dinero correctamente para el resto de su vida.

RECIPE / TECHNOLOGY

INGREDIENTS

Seafood makes a delicious centerpiece of any meal, and preparing seafood can actually be quite simple. Pan-steaming is one easy preparation that leaves the seafood moist and makes a quick and easy sauce, too. The technique, demonstrated in this recipe for a rich, buttery lemon sauce, is perfect for salmon, as well as other species.

4 Salmon or whitefish fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh or thawed 1 lemon, thinly sliced 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/8 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 cup white wine (sauvignon blanc or chardonnay) 2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic 2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs

Remove seafood fillets from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Fill 12-inch skillet with 1 inch of water. Add lemon slices and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Rinse seafood in cold water and pat dry; season with salt and pepper. Add seafood to pan, skin side down. Cover pan tightly and cook for 4 minutes, or until seafood is lightly translucent in the center, checking at thickest part. Remove seafood from pan and let rest a minute; it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove lemon slices from steaming liquid. Create quick reduction sauce with remaining liquid by adding wine, butter, garlic and herbs to pan. Combine ingredients and continue to simmer, allowing liquid to reduce to desired thickness. To serve, transfer lemon slices and fillets to plates; drizzle fillets with sauce.

STATEPOINT Whether you’re on the calling or receiving end, problems with telephone service can be frustrating. From problems with failure to complete calls to poor call quality, many of these issues are a byproduct of how long-distance phone carriers choose to route their calls. Unfortunately, long-distance carriers often choose a call path based on cost rather than quality and calls following the leastcostly route can fail to reach their destination or complete with poor sound quality. These issues disproportionately affect calls destined for rural America. Known as “rural call completion,” the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is taking a multipronged approach to addressing the issue. Additionally, NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association is advocating for rules and enforcement to end this practice, as well as uniting local carriers in an attempt to end rural call failures. In the meantime, consumers can help themselves. The FCC recommends reporting these problems to one’s long distance or wireless telephone service provider when they occur. To learn more about these problems and how to report them, visit www.NTCA.org/callcompletion. As policies change, consumers can look forward to more reliable telephone service.

(4) Bindweed/Vascustatin brings about marked invivo lymphocyte proliferation and phagocyte activity. (5) Bindweed/Vascustatin exhibits powerful immune stimulating properties.

malaria parasites sequester iron, accumulating as much as 1000 times what normal cells store. Using wormwood (artemisinin result in the destruction of these abnormal cells. Thus leaving normal cells unaffected. Wormwood (artemsinin) is a cancer bomb. Using wormwood (artemisinin) only the cancer cells are damaged. 5. Rauwolfia Vomituria – its

Dr. Reginald L. Walker SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR 1. Pao Pereira (Pao V) – a South American tree bark extract wipes out 16 cancer cell lines. In the work of Dr Mirko Beljanski on Pao, research found that Pao extract could enter cancer cells, but not healthy cells. Therefore, the cancer cells could no longer duplicate themselves, and they died off. Then, Dr. Beljanski tried combining Pao extract with low level chemotherapy, and found it had an “additive effect.” Animal studies showed a higher survival rate with the combination than either the Pao extract (PaoV) or Chemotherapy alone for many cancers. The Pao extract (Pao V) alone had a longer survival rate than chemotherapy alone. Dr. Beljanski’s work offered hope to anyone suffering from these cancers, especially if their cancer is resistant to chemotherapy. See more on Pao Pereira extract (Pao V) through “Oncology Reports 30:149-156 2013”. 2. Graviola (Annona Muricato) – Comes from a tree in the rain forests of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. The active ingredient is “annonaceous acetogenins”, which is a phytochemical. In laboratory stud-

ies, graviola extracts can kill some types of liver and breast cancer cells that are resistant to particular chemotherapy drugs. Researchers exploring the mechanisms that graviola uses, claim that the acetogenins in the plant can distinguish cancerous cells from healthy cells because cancer cells have a consistently higher level of cellular activity. The acetogenins recognize and selectively inhibit the cancer cells. The studies conducted at Purdue University in Indiana in 1997, which studies concentrated on the antitumor properties and selective toxicity of annonoceous acetogenins. The team announced that these phytochemicals, in studies, appeared especially effective at destroying cells that had survived chemotherapy. Typically less than 2% of cancer cells have MDR (multi drug resistant) properties, this small amount can quickly multiply after initial chemotherapy, rendering subsequent rounds of chemotherapy useless. The MDR cell requires the chemical APT (Adenosine 5 Triphosphate) to survive. Acetogenins inhibit ATP transfer into these cancer cells, retarding their function in a process that eventually leads to cancer cell death. This process bypasses the healthy cells, which does not require infusions of ATP. University of Helsinki, Finland found that even a short-

term shortage of ATP supply can be fatal for cancer cells. 3. Bindweed Extract (Convolvalaceae) – This extract consists of a powerful therapeutic component, proteoglycan mixture (PGM). It is beneficial against cancerous tumors because PGM is antiangiogenic. The proteoglycan mixture has been tested and found to be more than 100 times more effective by weight against benign and malignant tumors than is shark cartilage. The PGM angiogenesis inhibitor is manufactured as a food supplement under the brand name Vascustatin. Two highly astute phytochemical researchers for cancer remedies, the father, Psychiatrist/Orthomolecular medicine specialist, Hugh D. Riordan M.D. and his son, have uncovered phytochemical components in the leaves of the wild growing bindweed (convolvulus arvensis) whose leaves are loaded with the cancer-reducing substance proteoglycan mixture (PGM). This finding was highly significant in tumorogeneses therapy for five reasons: (1) The PGM of bindweed or vascustatin inhibits anglogenesis (capillary formation) in malignant tumors. (2) Bindweed/Vascustatin quickly stops abnormal cellular growth in cancerous

4. Wormwood Extract (artemisinin) – rediscovered in 1970, especially used for drug resistant falciparum Malaria, but also for treatment of most cancers. Wormwood (artemisinin) contains two oxygen atoms hooked together that breakdown in the presence of iron by creating very reactive free radicals that kill malaria parasites and cancer cells. Both cancer cells and

extract has been shown to provide antioxidant and antiproliferative effects in different system. Data demonstrated that rauwolfia vomituria substantially inhibited ovarian cancer cell growth, both invitro and invivo. Previous studies reported DNA damage and cell cycle inhibition induced by rauwolfia vomituria in prostate cancer cells, with low toxicity on normal cells.

MARCH 27 - APRIL 2, 2015

• The photos on this page are reprinted from the original version of the article, which appeared in El Observador’s April 28th, 1993 edition.

Michael Medina EL OBSERVADOR Editors Note: This piece originally ran in the April 28-May 4, 1993 edition of El Observador. As we remember the man who, along with many others, strived to help and strategize ways to overcome adversity for farmworkers and the poor, it is only fitting we look back at the reaction to losing such a powerful figure of this community and world. San Jose- Local leaders and loyal followers expressed sadness and shock last week at the news that United Farm Workers President Cesar Chavez died April 23. “It’s very sad for us,” said Councilwoman Blanca Alvarado in a voice chocked with emotion. “The nation has lost a great American. He was very dedicated to improving the ives of farm workers, and it was a very difficult struggle for him. In recent years he continued in his struggle beyond pickets and strikes to housing and environmental

issues. He raised the issue of the impact of pesticides on farmworkers. The nobility of his cause was often overshadowed by the tremendous opposition to what he was trying to do.”

said Victor Garza, chairman of the San Jose GI Forum. “Even though he is our hero, our great leaders, the people who toil in the fields and do the work will be hurt worse than us.”

“Obviously this is a very sad day for the Latino community and beyond, especially for anyone who has been a farm worker, or has family that are farm workers, or cares about farm workers,” said Santa Clara County Su Ron Gonzales. “Cesar Chavez single handedly developed the national conscience over the farm worker’s plight. On a personal level, for me he was a role model. He exemplified a commitment to principles, to having a mission, and to living that mission.” “It’s a real tragedy for our community,” said San Jose City Councilman George Shirakawa. “He spent a lot of years for the workers, all workers, but especially agricultural workers. He started something which history will record as a great movement.” “It’s a great loss to all of us, to the farm workers it’s an even greater loss,”

Among those who mourned Chavez were a number of national figures President Bill Clinton issued the following statement, “The labor movement and all Americans have lost a great leader with the death of Cesar Chavez. An inspiring fighter for the cause to which he dedicated his life, Cesar Chavez was an authentic hero to millions of people throughout the the world. I share the sadness his family friends, followers, and supporters all feel upon his passing away. We can be proud of his enormous accomplishments and in the dignity and comfort he brought to the lives of so many of our country’s least powerful and most dispossessed workers. He had a profound impact upon the people of the United States. My deepest sympathies go out to all his loved ones.”

“Cesar Chavez was one of the great pioneers for civil rights and human rights of our century,” said Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) in a prepared statement. “His tireless commitment to improve the plight of farm workers profoundly touched I the conscience of America and inspired millions of others to work for justice in their own communities America will miss his leadership America will miss his leadership, but his memory gives us new courage and determination to carry on his work.” “I’m devastated,” said Raul Yzaguirre, president of the National Council of La Raza. “I’m not sure I can be coherent. I consider him to be my hero, a symbol of the movement, the all-time defender of human rights. He was a true example of an American hero someone who brings out the best in people.” “All of us were very saddened,” said Abelardo De La Peña, director of communications for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund “Antonia Hernandez,

our director was very close to him. She visited him about three weeks ago, and he seemed to be in good health. He was a man of compassion and a catalyst for change. He was an inspiration not only for those in the UFW, but for many other people in the Southwest and the U.S. who he inspired to become involved in various struggles in their own communities. The news was hardest, perhaps, for those who worked or and supported Chavez o the years and those who came to know him on a personal level. “We feel very saddened and shocked,” said Hermalinda Sapien, deputy director of the Center for Employment Training. “He was still quite young, and we hoped he would continue to work to improve the conditions of farm workers for many years. He was also very close to our organization, which in many ways was an extension of his work. He supported us from the very beginning. When we called on him, he always

came. He was the keynote speaker at our 25th anniversary celebration a couple months ago. When we called him he was in New York and already had something scheduled but he changed his schedule so he could be with us.” “This is a great loss not only for the farm workers, but for all working people,” said long-time UFW supporter Vicente Perez of Most Holy Trinity Church. “I’ve always looked at the farm workers as just a highlight of the poor situation of all working men and women who work without protection, in harsh conditions, with no benefits and low wages. He is a symbol of struggle for all workers.” “It’s shocking to me,” said local entertainment promoter Scott Montoya. “It’s a great loss. I lived in La Paz, I grew up with his sons, my father and mother were active in the UFW. He was like a second father to me. I would need hours to tell people what he was like, to tell all STORY CONTINUES PG.9

of the great things. He sacrificed everything he had to make life better for everyone else. I remember going in his house as a kid, and thinking how run down it was, how the faucets were all leaky. Then I’d go home and hear on the news how the growers were charging he was trying to organize the farm workers for personal profit. “For many, Chavez’s shoes will be hard to fill.”Dolores Huerta comes to mind,” said Shirakawa. “But a great man like that, he will not be easy to replace.’’”I hope there are those in the organization that will continue to do the good work he left us with,” said Garza. “I hope someone continues it- otherwise it will all have been in vain.””Can his shoes be filled?” said Gonzales. “I don’t think so. Others will follow in his footsteps to continue his mission, but he had a certain style that can’t be reproduced.” “I don’t think it’s possible to fill his shoes, nor should we try,”said Yzaguirre. “He was the right person for those issues and that period of time. Now there are new issues and new leaders. There’ll never be someone like him again.” “It will be an extremely longtime before somebody of that magnitude comes along” said Perez. “I don’t think he can be replaced, not in my lifetime,” said Sapien. To many, Chavez left a legacy that will never be forgotten.”His death has left a tremendous void,” said Alvarado. “We adored him and were strengthened by his leadership. Bu he left a

foundation we have to build on. He left us with a tremendous legacy that we have to continue. Those of us who supported the work he did and the good he did have to continue the struggle. It’s up to us now.”I think he will be remembered as someone very brave, who gave up his life to bring social justice to the most humble and most exploited elements in our society,” said Sapien. “I hope that in memory of Cesar we can continue to fight for better human conditions in harmony and love- a valiant fight, but one fought with peace and nonviolence.” “He set an example,” said Shirakawa. “He showed that with the right organizing activity, if you stay focused you can beat the big guys.” “His legacy will be the awareness of the plight of Americans previously ignored and exploited,” said Yzaguirre. “Farm workers from now on will always think of Cesar Chavez.” To others, Cesar Chavez’s stature as a civil rights leader could only be compared to that of another civil rights giant. “I think his legacy is that he brought basic human rights to his own people,” said Montoya. “Few people have such great changes attributed to them. He’s like Martin Luther King.” “I think he will be remembered by us like blacks remember Martin Luther King,” said Garza. “He is our Martin Luther King.”

SAN JOSE This past Thursday Mayor Sam Liccardo announced a plan to open San Jose’s 23 branch libraries six days a week, beginning July 1. “Our libraries provide a safe learning environment for thousands of children, even while open only four days a week,” Mayor Liccardo said. “By expanding library services to six days a week, we’ll open the door to learning and opportunity to another 7,000 children each week.” San José reduced library hours in the midst of a decade of budget cuts so deep that four branch libraries, funded with voter-approved construction bonds, sat vacant for nearly two years. Branch libraries currently operate on a four-day schedule, and are open either Monday through Thursday, leaving a neighborhood without weekend service, or Wednesday through Saturday, which leaves students without library access after school two days each week. Mayor Liccardo will be recommending funding to restore the six-days a week schedule in his March Budget Message, which will be released on March 16. Funding will come from a com-

bination of reserves in the Library Parcel Tax Fund and the General Fund with a goal of phasing costs fully into the City General Fund over five years. “Last year, more than 80 percent of our voters stepped up to approve an extension of a library parcel tax saving $8 million a year in funding for libraries,” Mayor Liccardo said. “Our residents know how critical libraries are to keeping neighborhoods safe and expanding access to the opportunities Silicon Valley offers.” Mayor Liccardo made the announcement at the Biblioteca Latinoamericana in the Washington neighborhood just south of Downtown. The

library serves students from Washington Elementary School next door as well as residents of the larger neighborhood. “As a former police officer and substitute teacher, I know our neighborhoods need libraries to be open,” said Councilmember Raul Peralez, whose district includes the Biblioteca. “Libraries spark children’s imaginations and give them a healthy alternative to being on the streets. For parents, they provide access to tools like English classes and literacy services that help them build better lives.” “Many of our residents rely on our libraries for Internet

and computer access,” Vice Mayor Rose Herrera said. “At the same time, many employers require online job applications, even for entry level positions. Our libraries are opening the doors to new opportunities and have become lifelong learning centers for children, families, youth, job seekers and seniors.” “The number one question I am asked is ‘why is my neighborhood library closed?’” said Jill Bourne, Director of the San Jose Public Library. “Library staff have made this our highest priority, and we are excited to open the doors of all our branch libraries and provide services to our communities.”

“Las palabras de ‘si se puede’ ahora retumban…” Estephany Haro EL OBSERVADOR El día de Cesar Chávez es un día de celebración para todos los trabajadores agrícolas de California, los cuales hoy en día, gozan de derechos gracias a la persistencia y arduo trabajo de Cesar Chávez y la gente que lo rodeaba. Los trabajadores de campo son la columna vertebral de este ámbito laboral, lo cual, la mayoría de su población es conformado por inmigrantes latinos, según las estadísticas del buro del trabajo. Damián Trujillo, reportero de NBC y conductor del show “La Comunidad del Valle” ha experimentado con sus propias manos el trabajo de un campesino. Nacido en Greenfield, Calif. Trujillo trabajó en los campos al igual que su familia desde que tenía 12 años, hasta su primer año en la universidad. Sin embargo, el trabajo duro que se lleva a cabo en los campos llevó a Damián a buscar otro camino y ahora el aprecia lo que le enseñó este trabajo y sus trabajadores. Por eso mismo, en agradecimiento, cada 31 de marzo, Damián y su familia hacen lonches para llevárselos a los trabajadores agrícolas, “fue una idea de mi esposa, porque yo le contaba como nos iba a mi familia y a mí.” También, Trujillo y su esposa educan a la comunidad campesina, ya que muchos no saben quién fue Cesar Chávez y cuáles fueron sus logros para esta comunidad. Algunos de los derechos por los que Chávez luchó siguen presentes, pero no ha habido mucho progreso. “Algunos trabajadores tienen sombra, pero todavía no pueden ganar tiempo extra y se les paga el minino,” dijo Trujillo. Sim embargo, la igualdad por la cual Chávez lucho por muchos años, para que la comunidad campesina tuviera más derechos, no fue solamente con su esfuerzo. “Una sola persona no puede hacer todo lo que él hizo, utilizó el apoyo de muchas personas, como, Dolores Huerta y su esposa Helen,” dijo Trujillo. “Es un legado de muchas personas pero esas personas necesitaban a un líder, y Cesar fue la voz de ellos.” El negocio de agricultura genera millones de dólares cada año, pero desafortunadamente, el trabajador agrícola esta debajo de la lista de oficios. “Los aseadores de casa, y los cocineros están un poco nivel más alto, abajo están los campesinos, porque trabajamos en lodo, trabajamos en polvo y no ganamos mucho,” dijo Trujillo. Después de 22 años de la muerte de Chávez, su lucha sigue teniendo efecto en la comunidad, “es la señal que le dejó a los niños de hoy en día, que no se deben dejar, que deben de hablar en alto si ven que algo está mal, que no se rindan, fue el legado de Cesar,” dijo Trujillo. “Las palabras de ‘si se puede’ ahora retumban… esas palabras se usaron en los 70s y ahora los niños en la escuela están aprendiendo sobre Cesar, y usan su slogan de ‘si se puede’ para progresar.” El mensaje que Damián Trujillo les da a los trabajadores campesinos es que no se desanimen, y si piensan que no hay lugar para salir adelante, que solo piensen en sus familias e hijos y que se rompa esa cadena, si no lo hacen ellos que lo hagan sus hijos.

MARCH 27 - APRIL 2, 2015

Jenny Manrique NAM/EL OBSERVADOR Editor’s Note: This article was produced as part of a New America Media journalism fellowship, sponsored by the Santa Clara Valley Water District. SAN JOSE, Calif. -- As California faces its fourth consecutive year of drought, officials say heavy rainfall alone will not be enough to restore the groundwater we need. In response, water districts are investing in water recycling plants and looking at strategies ranging from importing water to calls for greater conservation. Most importantly, they are turning to California residents to take the initiative in cutting by up to 40 percent the water they typically use – and rewarding those who do. “Last spring I decided to remove all grass from my yard and planted California natives,” said Carol Makdissy, who was named a Water Saving Hero for the work she has done on her 650-squarefoot yard in San Jose. “These beautiful flowers do not just attract butterflies and hummingbirds, they need only a little water.” Designating individuals as Water Saving Heroes is one of the strategies being pursued by the Santa Clara Water Valley District (SCVWD) to promote water conservation for homes, businesses, landscaping and agriculture. “We have a finite supply of local water from reservoirs (Shasta and Oroville) and imported sources that come from Sacramento and the

San Joaquin River Delta,” explained Aaron Baker, raw water operations manager at SCVWD. “Because we’ve had three excessive dry years and little snow, our reservoirs and groundwater levels have dropped. It is highly likely that we will get to summer [facing] a critical stage that will require up to 40 percent in water use reduction,” Baker added.

duce water use adding a little brown to their yards.

That means doubling the existing voluntary reduction goal that Gov. Jerry Brown asked Californians to meet last July.

“The [Water] Board approved an increase in rewards to give owners who take out the irrigation system in their yards and replace it with low water-use plants that do not need to be mowed or fertilized. Instead of $1, now we are giving $2 per square foot,” said Jerry de la Piedra, water supply planning manager at SCVWD. More than 390 million gallons of water a year are saved through the landscape program alone, he said.

The Water District has also doubled the budget for its Water Wise House Call Program, a state-funded initiative that brings conservation experts as advisors to homeowners and institutions that, like Carol, are willing to re-

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose was among those who took advantage of the initiative, replacing almost an acre of grass in several gardens with native flowers that have Egyptian themes. “The eco-

logical benefits are enormous and the drought-tolerant gardens are saving the park countless gallons of water,” said Dakotah Bertsch, the landscape designer in charge of the project. “We are mixing the plants with the exhibitions,” she added, noting the museum’s peace garden now resembles an authentic garden from the ancient Egyptian city of Akhetaton. Other rebate programs cover replacement of sprinklers, high efficiency appliances like toilets and clothes washers, and free items for the community including showerheads, hose nozzles, toilet flappers, leak detectors and buckets.

The Water District also recommends that restaurants only serve water upon request, and that hotels encourage their customers to reuse sheets and towels instead of washing them every day. Fines against water wasters Last year, Californians did not reach the voluntary 20 percent cut they were asked to make in their water use. Now some counties are looking to fine those who waste water. On Feb. 3, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted to make some of these rules permanent and mandatory.

Nearly 87,000 residents of unincorporated parts of the county – who have less access to water than city dwellers – could now face fines ranging from $100 to $500 if they use sprinklers between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., water paved areas such as driveways or wash cars without a shut-off valve. The fines haven’t yet extended to residents of incorporated cities, who are also being asked to save water. SCVWD spokesperson Marty Grimes said that in order to track down who is wasting resource, the Water STORY CONTINUES PG.16

District Board of Directors also “approved funding to hire temporary water waste inspectors.” He added that the inspectors – four so far— will follow up on complaints from citizens sent through the district’s hotline, website and the Access Valley Water app. The district has “received 1,000 alerts since the summer,” said Grimes. Not enough to go around According to the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, a prediction model that is used to measure the level of groundwater storage reserve and how much conservation is needed to supply it annually, any number below 300,000 acre-feet in the aquifers, requires a public call for reduction. In 2015, the storage numbers are expected to drop to 182,000 acre-feet. The drought has impeded replenishment of local aquifers that homeowners, business and agriculture pull water from throughout the state. An average American uses 100 gallons of water each day, yet reservoirs in California only have enough water to supply that level of consumption until the end of 2015. That’s why legislation like the Ground Water Sustainability Act, signed by Gov. Brown in September 2014, has introduced new policies to allow local agencies to customize groundwater sustainability and water consumption during times of scarcity. Money can’t make it rain, but it helps In 2014, state and federal lawmakers approved a more than $1 billion emergency budget for drought relief. And during the November election, California voters passed Proposition 1, known as the Water Bond, assuring $7.12 billion in general obligation bonds for state water supply infrastructure projects. However, as Jeffrey Mount,

MARCH 27 - APRIL 2, 2015

senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California points out, the new measure “won’t have an impact for years to come, as the mechanisms for distributing the money haven’t been developed.” “So far, it has been two emergency allocations of federal resources, money that can’t make it rain, but can soften the impact of the drought,” he explained. “The best investment is to diversify water supplies, building infrastructure to trade water with other states,” he said, noting that California currently only has access to the Colorado River. California’s agricultural sector lost $2.2 billion in revenue during 2014, according to research by PPIC. This loss cost 17,000 jobs, many of them truck drivers and farmworkers. The path to drinking recycled water Recycling water has been one of the most widely used methods to conserve water in agriculture. Plants such as Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center (SVAWPC), which started in July of 2014, use a combination of microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and UV light disinfection to recycle nearly 8 million gallons of water per day in Santa Clara County, used for irrigation and industrial applications. “The plant is the biggest one in Northern California, and costs $72 million and seven years to build,” noted water supply planning modeler Miguel Silva while giving a tour of the facility, which has been open to the public since November. “Recycling water is drought tolerant. We can produce a consistent amount regardless if it’s a wet or a dry year, so it gives us a lot of control to face extreme weather patterns,” he added. Although the product is not potable yet, the purpose of the plant is to expand Silicon Valley’s future drinking water supplies by 2025.

• Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority will be holding trainings for its employees, to identify and report instances of human trafficking.

San Jose CALIFORNIA Santa Clara County and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) announced on Tuesday a training of over 2,000 VTA employees to identify and report human trafficking. The partnership stems from the work of the Santa Clara County Human Trafficking Commission – co-chaired by Supervisor Chavez, District Attorney Jeff Rosen, and Sheriff Laurie Smith – which was created in April 2014 after the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified the Bay Area as one of the nation’s hubs for child sex trafficking. The Commission’s focus is to coordinate government and community efforts to eliminate human trafficking. While public transit has not been identified as a contributor to human trafficking, transit personnel interact with the public on a daily basis and are in a unique position to put an end to human trafficking, which includes other forms of human exploitation including debt bondage, domestic servitude, and forced child labor. The first of many trainings occurred on March 24, 2015. VTA employees will become among the first public sector employees to receive the training. “VTA and our employees are happy to step forward and do their part,” said VTA General Manager Nuria Fernandez, “we

are at the center of an interconnected community and stand firmly in partnership against human trafficking.” “Santa Clara County is fully committed to addressing this growing problem,” said County Board President Dave Cortese, “a critical component to ending human trafficking is informing our communities about this crime and what it looks like.” “We cannot end human trafficking unless we successfully investigate and prosecute perpetrators,” said District Attorney and Human Trafficking Co-Chair Jeff Rosen. “However, the responsibility of stopping the exploitation falls upon our whole community. Help us help some of our most vulnerable victims.” “I am grateful that all these agencies are coming together to rescue these victims. We all need to be able to spot the telltale signs of human trafficking,” said Supervisor and Human Trafficking Co-Chair Cindy Chavez. A Congressional research service indicates that over 17,000 people are trafficked into the United States each year and approximately 100,000 U.S. citizen children are victims of trafficking within the United States. A 2012 United Nation’s International Labor Organization report indicates that more than 20 million people are victims of trafficking and human slavery in the world.
