Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR It was very heart-warming to have 29 family members as guests on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day which included 12 children, who do not yet know that they are our family's future. Family legendary stories were related (and embellished); the food was tasty and available in ample quantities along with beverages. That night my wife, Betty and I retired feeling very good and content. As parents, we feel very good about having all three children and grand-kids along with in-laws as extended family.

Life is GOOD! The next day, I came down with the worst flu ever experienced and my iMac’s power unit burnt out. But that night, MSNBC Late Show host Stephen Colbert had Michelle Obama, former First Lady and author of a book entitled “Becoming”. It is already a NY Times best-seller which tells, for the first time ever, the experiences of Michelle,

as First Lady, dealing with the White House environment from the perspective of a wife, mother, and being the First Lady of this land.

I recall Michelle telling the White House staff back in January 2009, that her two daughters would clean their own room and make their own beds ( just like at their Chicago home).

The interview by Stephen Colbert was revealing in that Michelle revealed that she made it a point to not discuss any public policy issues when Barrack came home for supper. Her mother, the girl's grandmother, was also in residence to assist Michelle with child care issues. Note that during 8 years of residency in the White House, the American Public hardly ever made the news. Both Michelle her mother managed to sustain a normal family focus and environment in that White House while Barrack was CEO and CIC of the most powerful and influential nation on this earth.

The Obama family even attended their girl's PTA school meetings which involved a motorcade of 16 vehicles plus 48 motorcycle police who secured their school's neighborhood.

Michelle downplayed the presence of Secret Service security guards packing sidearms by telling her girls, “It's okay, they’re doing their jobs protecting the President, who is your father.” None of this made the news but is documented in her book. Family was very important to the Obama's.

What a contrast to the current 'family' now occupying the White House!

Another 'family event' happened...the burial of former President George Herbert Walker Bush who merited the gratitude and respect from this nation and the entire world community of nations who sent representatives to pay their respects. President Bush, as the 41st President, served only 4 years in the Oval Office; had survived being shot down as a fighter pilot; became a seasoned diplomat who guided the re-unification of East and West Germany after the Berlin Wall fell; and signed off on legislation establishing marriage rights for the HGLTQ community and the American Disabilities Act. Again, Barbara and G.H.W. Bush had a family which is engaged, involved, and committed to 'public service' while maintaining and

practicing Christian family values of decency, honesty and transparency.

What a contrast to what is being experienced by the American public today! I bring this to your attention because Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day holidays are most meaningful when we consider the role of the FAMILY and our personal developmental experiences as family members who were informed, nurtured and cared for by our family relationships beginning with our father and mother.

Do take time to connect with those days at home, at school, and amongst our friends. It is these relationships which are most meaningful. Connecting with and communicating with others using electronic smart devices and social media networks does not add up to the level of direct human to human eyeball relationships and interactions.

It is during these holidays that we need to make an effort to rise above the crass commercial materialism of our capitalistic 'bottom line' values which will never supplant the decency and transparent honesty which is nurtured by good family relationships. A bit of

forgiveness and empathy may be practiced and required, but it is worth the peach and tranquility which results from staying in relationships and not letting disputes and differences keep us separated from our family roots.

Good family relationships along with friendships with others are the basis of a good life. Take time to enjoy your family and friends during this 2018 holiday season.

Know and accept the reality that friendships and family relationships require your persistent attention and thought which result in all of us enjoying and sharing our good fortunes. Have you noticed that when you share there is always enough for all those involved? When we take time to care for each other by sharing what we have, good things begin to happen. More of us will have smiles, satisfaction, and contentment. And it all begins in your good family relationships. Take time to take note and enjoy them now.

The EO management and staff and I wish you and yours have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2019!

La Batalla por el Muro José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

El presidente Donald Trump escenificó esta semana, en la histórica Oficina Oval de la Casa Blanca, una batalla pública sin precedentes con los líderes demócratas del Senado, Charles Schumer y de la Cámara de Representantes, Nancy Pelosi, sobre el polémico debate del financiamiento de su propuesto muro en la frontera con México, a un costo de 25,000 millones de dólares.

Ante la mirada atónita de los periodistas que fueron testigos del exabrupto presidencial, Trump amenazó con cerrar el gobierno federal si no obtiene por lo menos 5,000 millones de dólares para el muro este año. Antes, en un mensaje de su cuenta de Twitter, el presidente había amenazado con utilizar al ejército para construir secciones del muro de ser

necesario.

Más allá del espectáculo público del presidente de los Estados Unidos lanzando amenazas contra los lideres del Congreso, luego que los demócratas recuperaron el control de la Cámara de Representantes en las elecciones intermedias de noviembre, la idea de paralizar a la burocracia federal por un proyecto que expertos consideran oneroso e ineficiente, borda con la irresponsabilidad.

Trump no ha sido el primer presidente en tratar de politizar la seguridad nacional de los Estados Unidos. Todos recordamos que, tres días después de ser llamado a testificar por el escándalo de una relación extramarital con Mónica Lewinsky en 1998, el entonces presidente Bill Clinton lanzó ataques con misiles contra Irak, que muchos vieron como un peligroso acto de

distracción política.

Pero Trump construyó su identidad política y su base de seguidores en la campaña presidencial, con una engañosa estrategia de mercadotecnia político-electoral donde colocó al muro y a los inmigrantes indocumentados mexicanos para apelar a los sentimientos xenofóbicos, nativistas y hasta racistas de muchos estadounidenses.

Aún después de llegar a la presidencia, durante sus apariciones públicas, el presidente ha insistido en la necesidad de construir el muro. De acuerdo con The Washington Post, Trump ha mentido en públicamente en al menos en 86 ocasiones sobre el hecho de que el muro ya empezó construido, cuando en realidad sólo se han remozado secciones del muro ya existente.

Trump se dedicado también a caracterizar

de una manera engañosa la postura de los demócratas con un falso dilema: quienes no estén a favor del muro, están a favor de fronteras abiertas. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Es posible estar a favor de una fuerte seguridad fronteriza y no necesariamente creo que sólo es posible lograrlo a través de una muralla estilo chino.

Que un político busque cumplir sus promesas de campaña, no debería sorprender a nadie. Pero hacerlo aún a riesgo de paralizar el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, es imprudente. La clase política estadounidense tienen un plazo que vence el 21 de diciembre para buscar lograr un acuerdo que evite ese desenlace. Ojalá se logre un pacto con base en la realidad y no en amenazas imaginarias.

MISSOURI KIDS EAGER TO SOLVE FOOD INSECURITY to see hunger through the eyes of students.

"To bring students together to help us generate ideas that the students thought were going to be good solutions, workable solutions, to solving or addressing child hunger in their communities," says Barry.

The most recent estimate by Missouri's Kids Count shows that 18.6 percent of the state's kids are growing up in homes that experience food insecurity.

Roz Brown Public News Service

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri school kids were so eager to participate in the "No Kid Hungry Innovation Challenge" that it was a full house when they pitched their ideas for reducing child hunger and food insecurity.

The challenge distributed $14,000 in grants to students who had the most innovative ideas for increasing access to, or participation in, school nutrition programs. That means school meals and snacks or summer meal programs funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Jon Barry, program director of No Kid Hungry Missouri, says it was an opportunity

Students who won the challenge and $1,000 grants will use the money to bring their ideas to life. Some of the ideas selected by judges included the "After School Refuel" from Fort Osage High School in Kansas City; "Curb Hunger with Grab-n-Go" [meals] by Macon R-7 and "Cooking for Kids," from Affton's Rogers Middle School.

Barry says mentors who worked with students to develop their ideas discovered they were well aware of hunger issues in their schools.

"They have friends and they have peers that they see, that they know struggle with hunger for a lot of different reasons," says Barry. “So, the kids see these issues as problems and so, we were actually surprised at how easy it was for us to recruit school teams to come to the event."

The No Kid Hungry Innovation Challenge was launched in 2016 with support from the Family and Community Trust, GENYOUTH AdVenture Capital program, and the Midwest Dairy Council.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET Evan Arnold-Gordon Golden Gate Better Business Bureau

• Make sure accommodations and destinations are pet-friendly. Wherever you’re staying, whether it be a hotel, vacation rental, or with friends or family, ensure that pets are welcome. Ask if there are extra costs or regulations. Research pet-friendly activities ahead of time – do the local beaches or natural areas allow pets?

For some people, leaving a beloved pet behind can ruin a holiday. However, having a furry friend doesn’t mean you can’t leave home.

It may be possible for you to bring your pet along for the trip. If not, boarding your pet or hiring a pet sitter may be an option.

• If necessary, leave them behind. Traveling with pets can be stressful for both you and the animal, and sometimes it’s just not feasible.

Thankfully, you have options. You can hire a pet sitter to visit your animals in your own home, letting them stay in their natural environment where they’re most comfortable.

You can also opt for a traditional boarding facility, like a kennel or pet hotel. In 2017, BBB received hundreds of complaints from consumers nationwide against pet boarding, sitting, and kennel companies. Complaints allege injuries to pets and poor customer service. It’s important to leave your pet in the care of someone you can trust, so look for BBB Accredited Businesses at bbb.org.

Keep the following BBB tips in mind when planning a trip with your pets: • Traveling by plane. You have two options when you take your pet on an airplane with you. If your pet is small enough, you can keep it under the seat in front of you. If your pet is too large, it will go in cargo. No matter what, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), a BBB Accredited Charity, recommends making an appointment with your veterinarian for a checkup to make sure they’re fit to fly the friendly skies. In 2017, consumers nationwide filed more than 7,400 complaints against airlines with BBB, so do your research. Look up airlines at bbb.org to see their BBB Rating and if there are complaints or reviews from past customers on file about flying with pets.

Regulations and fees for bringing your pet on a plane vary by the airline, so make sure to double check.

• Road trips. Before bringing Fluffy or Fido on a long car trip, make sure your pet responds well to car rides. The ASPCA recommends keeping them safe and secure in a well-ventilated crate or carrier with plenty of food or water. Put together a pet travel kit, and prepare for the worst. If you’re

Evan Arnold-Gordon Golden Gate Better Business Bureau

Para algunas personas, dejar a una amada mascota detrás puede arruinar unas vacaciones. Sin embargo, tener un amigo peludo no significa que no puedas irte de casa. Puede ser posible que usted traiga a su

mascota a lo largo del viaje. Si no, abordar a su mascota o contratar a un cuidador de mascotas puede ser una opción.

Tenga en cuenta los siguientes consejos de BBB al planificar un viaje con sus mascotas: • Viajando en avión. Usted tiene dos opciones cuando se lleva a su mascota en un avión con usted. Si su mascota es lo suficientemente

renting a car, make sure that the company allows animals and ask if you’ll be charged extra. Consumers nationwide filed more than 10,000 complaints with BBB against auto renting and leasing companies in 2017, so make sure to find a trustworthy business at bbb.org.

Remember to always report scammers. If you've been the target of a scam or suspect scam activity, report it to authorities and BBB Scam Tracker to warn others.

pequeña, puede mantenerla debajo del asiento delante de usted. Si su mascota es demasiado grande, irá en carga. No importa qué, la Sociedad Americana para la Prevención de la Crueldad a los Animales (ASPCA), una caridad acreditada BBB, recomienda hacer una cita con su veterinario para un chequeo para asegurarse de que están aptos para volar los cielos amistosos. En 2017, los consumidores de todo el país presentaron más de 7.400 reclamaciones contra las aerolíneas con BBB, así como su investigación. Busque aerolíneas en bbb.org para ver su calificación BBB y si hay quejas o comentarios de clientes anteriores en el archivo sobre volar con mascotas. Las regulaciones y los honorarios por traer a su mascota en un avión varían según la aerolínea, así que asegúrese de hacer doble cheque.

• Asegúrese de que los alojamientos y destinos son aptos para mascotas. Dondequiera que se aloje, ya sea un hotel, un alquiler vacacional o con amigos o familiares, asegúrese de que las mascotas sean bienvenidas. Pregunte si hay costos o regulaciones adicionales. Investigue las actividades que aceptan mascotas antes de tiempo: ¿Las playas locales o las áreas naturales permiten mascotas?

• Viajes por carretera. Antes de traer a Fluffy o Fido en un viaje de coche largo, asegúrese de que su mascota responda bien a los paseos en coche. La ASPCA recomienda mantenerlos seguros y protegidos en un cajón bien ventilado o portador con abundante comida o agua. Armar un kit de viaje de mascotas, y prepararse para lo peor. Si usted está alquilando un coche, asegúrese de que la empresa permite a los animales y pregunte si se le cobrará extra. Los consumidores de todo el país presentaron más de 10.000 reclamaciones con BBB contra las empresas de alquiler y arrendamiento de automóviles en 2017, así que asegúrese de encontrar un negocio de confianza en bbb.org.

You can reach your BBB at info@bbbemail. org or (510) 844-2000, or by visiting bbb.org.

• Si es necesario, déjalos atrás. Viajar con mascotas puede ser estresante tanto para ti como para el animal, y a veces no es factible.

Afortunadamente, tienes opciones. Usted puede contratar a una niñera para visitar a sus animales en su propia casa, permitiéndoles permanecer en su entorno natural donde están más cómodos. También puede optar por una instalación de embarque tradicional, como una jaula o un hotel para mascotas. En 2017, BBB recibió cientos de quejas de los consumidores en todo el país contra mascotas de embarque, sentado, y las empresas de perrera. Las quejas alegan lesiones a las mascotas y un servicio al cliente deficiente. Es importante dejar a su mascota en el cuidado de alguien en quien pueda confiar, así que busque negocios acreditados BBB en bbb.org.

Recuerde siempre informar a los estafadores.

Si usted ha sido el objetivo de una estafa o la actividad sospechosa de estafa, informar a las autoridades y BBB Scam Tracker para advertir a los demás.

Puede ponerse en contacto con su BBB a través de info@bbbemail.org o (510) 8442000, o en bbb.org.

CÓMO PUEDE TOMAR EL CONTROL EN ESTA TEMPORADA DE INFLUENZA

California Moves to Open Medi-Cal to Undocumented Immigrants Suzanne Potter California News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California lawmakers have just introduced a pair of bills that would extend Medi-Cal coverage to low-income, undocumented immigrant adults.

A recent University of California, Berkeley study found California has three million uninsured adults - and 1.4 million of them are undocumented and could apply if they meet the income requirements.

La temporada de influenza correspondiente al período 2017-2018 será recordada tristemente por muchos años. Según los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC)[i], esa temporada fue la única en ser clasificada como de "alta gravedad" en todos los grupos etarios. Además, y de acuerdo a cifras de los CDC, se produjo un estimado de 80,000 fallecimientos, una cifra récord sin lugar a dudas. Esas estadísticas son un devastador recordatorio de que esta infección viral puede afectar negativamente a cualquiera.

Sin embargo, hay medidas que puede tomar para protegerse a sí mismo y a su familia del virus de influenza en esta temporada, y la más importante es vacunarse.

"Ha llegado el momento de vacunarse", afirma Norman Moore, PhD, Director de Asuntos Científicos y Enfermedades Infecciosas de Abbott. "Como el organismo demora unas dos semanas para crear inmunidad al virus de la influenza después de vacunarse, es importante que se vacune más temprano que tarde".

El Dr. Moore destaca que la vacuna contra la influenza no solo le protege a usted. "Mientras más personas se vacunen, más difícil será el contagio por influenza en la comunidad.

Cuando se vacuna, no solo se protege usted, sino también a quienes le rodean", alerta el Dr. Moore.

Esta temporada de influenza, tenga en mente estas medidas simples para evitar contraer y contagiar el virus: Prevención de la influenza Usted y su familia pueden tomar ciertas medidas relativas a la salud y poner en práctica una buena higiene para evitar el contagio con el virus: • Ponerse la vacuna contra la influenza. La vacuna es la mejor defensa que le protege a usted y los que le rodean de contraer el virus.

Los CDC han descubierto que la vacuna puede reducir el riesgo de contraer influenza hasta en un 40 al 60 por ciento.

• Lavarse las manos con frecuencia. Lavarse las manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón es una medida vital, para garantizar que el virus

no se transmita ni se contraiga fácilmente.

• Evitar el contacto con personas que presentan síntomas similares a la influenza. Como el virus de la influenza es altamente contagioso, evitar el contacto cercano con colegas, amigos o familiares puede ayudarle a disminuir los riesgos de contagio.

Pruebas de detección de la influenza Si usted o un familiar comienza a sentir síntomas similares a la influenza a pesar de tomar medidas de precaución, visite a su médico o clínica de urgencias de inmediato.

Las pruebas de detección de influenza disponibles actualmente son algunas de las más rápidas y exactas, y se pueden realizar en numerosas instalaciones de salud como clínicas, centros de urgencias, y consultas de médicos.

Las pruebas de detección de influenza in situ facilitan más que nunca antes que los proveedores de atención médica puedan llegar rápida y exactamente a un diagnóstico. Una prueba y diagnóstico de influenza rápidos y confiables pueden facilitar la administración de antivirales al paciente cuando más lo necesita. Si los síntomas se detectan a tiempo, se les puede recetar a los pacientes de influenza un medicamento antiviral que disminuirá la gravedad y duración de la enfermedad, pero que solo tiene efectividad si se administra dentro de las 48 horas posteriores a la aparición de los síntomas.

Tratamiento de la influenza Independientemente de lo cuidadosos que nos propongamos ser, muchos podemos contraer la influenza. Si a usted se la diagnostican, asegúrese de tomar precauciones adecuadas, para volver a sentirse bien cuanto antes.

• No vaya al trabajo o la escuela para evitar la propagación del virus y el contagio a otras personas.

• Enfóquese en descansar lo suficiente. Cuando se enferma, escuche a su organismo y trate de hacer lo que éste le indica que es necesario, ya sea dormir, comer un tazón de sopa de pollo, o unos cuantos días sin ir al gimnasio.

• Hidrátese. El Pedialyte puede ayudarle a sentirse mejor proporcionándole el equilibrio óptimo de azúcar y electrolitos para reabastecerse de líquidos y evitar la deshidratación.

DECEMBER 14 - 20, 2018

Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula - D-Fresno County - is a former emergency room doctor. Arambula introduced Assembly Bill 4, and he says he's seen the suffering that comes with having no access to health insurance or preventive care.

"When you care about them, you make the cost-effective investments into the community to keep them healthy, rather than allowing them to deteriorate and become sick because of preventable causes," says Arambula.

The Senate version was sponsored by State Senators Ricardo Lara - D-Bell Gardens -

SUNDAY- 9:30AM

and Maria Elena Durazo - D-Los Angeles.

Arambula sees health care as a human right and wants to move toward universal health care. Opponents say such a system would be too expensive.

In 2015, California extended Medi-Cal to 250-thousand undocumented children.

Opponents also argue that the prospect of free health care would attract many more undocumented immigrants to the state and become unsustainable. But Arambula notes that California's diversity and pool of hardworking immigrants has been one of its strengths.

"California has long had a history of incorporating those who are new to America," says Arambula. "And it's in our DNA, as a state and a country, to recognize the importance that immigrants play in our community."

If it passes, California would be the first state in the nation to make such a move.

During the last legislative session, two similar but more modest bills didn't make it past the finish line. Those bills would have extended Medi-Cal to undocumented immigrants between ages 19 and 26, and to those over age 65.

UNA FIESTA LLENA DE SABOR Comida, familia y tradiciones navideñas

Photo Credit: Family Features

Family Features Una tamalada o fiesta para hacer tamales, es una tradición navideña que se lleva a cabo durante Las Posadas y combina dos de los ingredientes más importantes de la temporada – tiempo de calidad con la familia y comida deliciosa.

Considera estos tips de Sylvia Garza de Qué Mami Organics para ayudar a que tu tamalada sea fácil y divertida.

• Comida: Antes de iniciar con la tamalada, prepara los ingredientes que requieran tiempo y trabajo adicional. Por ejemplo, si vas a usar chiles asados, ásalos y pélalos un día antes, quitando las semillas y cortados para usarlos fácilmente al día siguiente.

• Familia: Cuando llevas a cabo una tamalada, ofrece comida o refrigerios para compartir con tus invitados. Preparar docenas de tamales puede tomar todo un día, así que querrás mantener a tus ayudantes bien alimentados.

• Sabor: Al preparar los tamales, agrega un ingrediente como Salsa Tabasco Chipotle a tu masa. No solo podrás agregar un toque ahumado de sabor, pero también le da a la masa un tono dorado muy atractivo. También puedes mezclar la salsa con tu relleno para un sabor más rico y un toque de picante.

TAMALES DE CALABACITA Y ELOTE

Receta cortesía de Sylvia Garza de Qué Mami Organics Rinde: 16 tamales • 30 hojas grandes de maíz, ablandadas

Masa: • 3 taza de harina para masa (harina de maíz) • 2 cucharaditas de polvo para hornear • 2 cucharaditas de sal • 2 1/3 tazas de caldo de verduras, caliente • 1/2 taza de mantequilla sin sal, ablandada • 1/2 taza de manteca vegetal

el polvo para hornear y la sal de mar.

Usando las manos, incorpora el caldo de verduras caliente para obtener una masa firme. En la batidora, mezcla la mantequilla y la manteca vegetal hasta obtener una consistencia suave y agrega la masa en cantidades pequeñas hasta incorporar bien todos los ingredientes.

Continúa mezclando a una velocidad media baja durante 5 minutos, raspando la masa de las orillas del recipiente hondo.

Reserva la masa.

Para preparar el relleno: En un sartén grande sobre fuego medio, calienta el aceite de oliva; saltea la cebolla morada y el ajo hasta que estén traslucidos.

Agrega el tomate, el orégano seco y la sal de mar; continúa mezclando durante 1 minuto. Agrega el elote y el cilantro picado. Mezcla y continúa cocinando durante aproximadamente 2 minutos más; la calabacita debe estar cocinada al dente. Retira el relleno y colócalo en un recipiente hondo resistente al calor.

Con una cuchara, toma aproximadamente 1 cucharada del relleno de calabacita y elote y colócalo al medio de la masa.

Agrega una cucharadita de la salsa reservada sobre el relleno y coloca una tira de queso encima del relleno y salsa. Dobla el lado derecho de la hoja de maíz sobre el relleno y junta y ciérralo con la masa. De manera apretada, dobla el lado izquierdo de la hoja de maíz y dobla el extremo angosto de la hoja de maíz. Usando hojas de maíz restantes, corta tiras y amarra cada tamal para asegurar.

Coloca los tamales verticalmente, con el extremo del relleno hacia arriba, en una vaporera con suficiente agua para cocer a vapor durante 40 a 45 minutos. Cubre los tamales con hojas de maíz adicionales para guardar el vapor, y cubre todo con la tapa de la olla. Los tamales estarán listos cuando la masa se separe fácilmente de las hojas del maíz. Agrega agua a la olla según sea necesario para cocer al vapor durante más tiempo.

Deja que los tamales se enfríen durante 10 minutos antes de abrirlos. Retira las hojas de maíz antes de servir.

Durante la visita, PG&E también encenderá nuevamente las llamas o luces de los pilotos.

Las inspecciones de los representantes del servicio de gas de PG&E ayudan a asegurar que los aparatos de gas, incluyendo calentadores de agua, hornos y estufas (cocinas), estén operando de manera segura y eficiente. Los aparatos de gas natural instalados y mantenidos de forma correcta pueden reducir significativamente el riesgo de envenenamiento por monóxido de carbono. De acuerdo a Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, cada año en los Estados Unidos por lo menos 430 personas mueren por intoxicación accidental con monóxido de carbono y aproximadamente 50,000 personas serán enviadas al hospital.

“El monóxido de carbono no se ve, no huele y ni se oye. El mejor salvavidas es equipar su casa con alarmas de monóxido de carbono en todos los niveles y en las áreas para dormir, así como, solicitar que PG&E o un experto calificado examine todos los electrodomésticos para asegurarse de que puedan recibir servicio de gas natural de manera segura”, dijo Jesús Soto, vicepresidente sénior de Operaciones de Gas de PG&E. Previo a los meses más fríos del invierno, cuando los aparatos de gas natural suelen ser los más utilizados, PG&E exhorta a los clientes a programar una inspección llamando a la línea de ayuda al cliente al 1-800-743-5000.

Consejos útiles para la seguridad de los gases en el invierno • Instale detectores de monóxido de carbono para advertir cuando los niveles de concentración son altos.

Todas las casas unifamiliares de Cali-

fornia deben tener detectores de monóxido de carbono.

Los detectores de monóxido de carbono deben instalarse en cada piso, cerca de las áreas para dormir y las áreas comunes.

Las baterías o pilas deben ser reemplazadas al menos dos veces al año.

Compruebe la fecha de caducidad - la mayoría de los detectores de monóxido de carbono tienen una vida útil de cinco a siete años.

• Nunca use productos dentro de la casa que generen niveles peligrosos de monóxido de carbono, como generadores, parrillas para uso en exterior o calentadores de propano.

• Nunca use aparatos de cocina, tales como hornos o estufas para calentar la casa.

• Cuando use la chimenea para mantenerse caliente, asegúrese de que el tiro o ventanilla esté abierto para que la ventilación pueda ocurrir de manera segura a través de la chimenea.

• Asegúrese de que los calentadores de agua y otros aparatos de gas natural tengan ventilación adecuada.

• Por favor visite nuestra página para obtener más consejos sobre seguridad y ahorro en la calefacción en invierno.

Si sospecha que hay monóxido de carbono en su casa, debe salir inmediatamente y llamar al 911. Si un cliente de PG&E alguna vez huele el olor distintivo del “huevo podrido” del gas natural en o alrededor de su casa o negocio, debe llamar inmediatamente al 911 y a PG&E al 1-800-743-5000.

Acerca de PG&E Pacific Gas and Electric Company, subsidiaria de PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), es una de las compañías combinadas de gas natural y energía eléctrica más grande en los Estados Unidos.

DECEMBER 2018 MESSAGE

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

From Christ who was, who is and who is to come, grace light and peace be with you!

The coming of the end of the year coincides with our annual observance of Advent and Christmas. As we look back to a year that in so many ways has been terribly sad and disappointing, still we are full of hope in view of what is yet to come. This hope is founded in Who is to come: our Lord Jesus Christ.

The weeks leading to Christmas encourage us to be one with the prophets who foretold the Lord’s coming as they fervently hoped for an end to the bondage and captivity that so often marked the life of the people of Israel.

Even now, we live in this same hope as we so often sing “O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel.” We rejoice, for we are confident that, in spite of all things, God is with us.

Advent also serves to help us prepare to celebrate the Lord’s Birth, surrounded by the love of Mary and Joseph, the song of angels and shepherds’ witness. We look fondly to that first Christmas as the reason for our celebration so many years later.

Where do we recognize the Lord today?

Do we allow ourselves to hear His voice speaking to us through the Scriptures? Do we encounter His loving care for us in the sacraments, most especially in the Eucharist?

Do we know Him in one another and in the poor and needy who knock on the doors of our lives? Today, in December 2018, parents and young children, not so unlike the Holy Family, are seeking asylum from the violence that threatens them. They come to the borders of this nation in the hope that just as the Holy Family found safety in Egypt, so these families will find the welcome that we might reserve for Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

¿Cómo escoger un plan de salud para el 2019?

Si necesita cobertura de salud o ya tiene un plan de Covered California, ahora es cuando puede hacer cambios a su póliza.

Cada año, por esta fecha, las personas no sólo tienen que escoger lo que se van a llevar a la fiesta de la oficina o la fiesta familiar, sino también tienen que seleccionar el plan de salud que tendrán para todo el año.

Si usted es una de las miles de personas que no tiene cobertura de salud o si tiene que renovar su póliza, las siguientes recomendaciones le ayudarán a seleccionar un plan para el 2019: 1. Evalúe sus necesidades médicas. Las necesidades médicas cambian. Si usted ahora requiere visitar al doctor con más frecuencia o si requiere un medicamento

específico, asegúrese que la cobertura para el 2019 incluya lo que necesita.

2. El nivel de cobertura que escoja, determina lo que tendrá que pagar cuando visite al doctor.

Hay 4 categorías: Bronze, Silver, Gold y Platinum.

Recuerde que entre menos pague al mes, más serán los gastos de bolsillo cuando utilice su seguro.

3. Compare los diferentes planes. Aunque Covered California establece beneficios estándares que las compañías aseguradoras deben proveer, tal como el cuidado preventivo gratuito, todos los planes ofrecen diferentes atractivos, como

por ejemplo, consultas médicas telefónicas o por computadora, y redes hospitalarias diferentes.

4. Opciones para inscribirse. Si usted prefiere usar la web y tomar decisiones frente a su computadora, puede hacer la renovación de su plan o inscribirse directamente en CoveredCA.com/espanol. Si prefiere ayuda en persona, puede visitar a nuestros agentes certificados. Para encontrar una oficina cerca de usted, llame al centro de atención al cliente o visite la página web. Si necesita ayuda adicional puede llamar al centro de atención al cliente en español al 1-800-300-0213.

CLASSIFIEDS / LEGALS Service of Order by Mail If the judge makes a restraining order at the hearing, which has the same orders as in this form, you will get a copy of that order by mail at your last known address, which is written in 2. If this address is incorrect, or to find out if the orders were made permanent, contact the court.

Child Custody, Visitation, and Support • Child custody and visitation: If you do not go to the hearing, the judge can make custody and visitation orders for your children without hearing you.

• Child support: The judge can order child support based on the income of both parents.

The judge can also have that support taken directly from a parent’s paycheck.

Child support can be a lot of money, and usually you have to pay until the child is age 18. File and serve a Financial Statement (Simplified) (form FL-155) or an Income and Expense Declaration (form FL-150) if you want the judge to have information about your finances. Otherwise, the court may make support orders without hearing from you.

• Spousal support: File and serve and Income and Expense Declaration (form FL-150) so the judge will have information about your finances. Otherwise, the court may make support orders without hearing from you.

–Instructions for Law Enforcement– This order is effective when made. It is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown a copy of the order, or has verified its existence on the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). If the law enforcement agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, and the restrained person was not present at the court hearing, the agency shall advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then shall enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties.

15

Arrest Required if Order Is Violated If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order, the officer must arrest the restrained person.

(Penal Code, §§ 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6.

If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact with the restrained person, the orders remain in effect and must be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The orders can be changed only by another court order. (Pen. Code, § 13710(b).)

Conflicting Orders–Priorities for Enforcement If more than one restraining order has been issued protecting the protected person from the restrained person, the orders must be enforced according to the following priorities (see Pen. Code, §136.2 and Fam. Code, §§ 6383(h), 6405(b)): 1. EPO: If one of the orders is an Emergency Protective Order (form EPO-001), and it is more restrictive than other restraining or protective orders, it has precedence in enforcement over all other orders.

2. No-Contact Order: If there is no EPO, a no-contact order that is included in a restraining or protective order has precedence in enforcement over any other restraining or protective order.

3. Criminal Order: If none of the orders includes a no-contact order, a domestic violence protective order issued in a criminal case takes precedence in enforcement over any conflicting civil court order.

Any nonconflicting terms of the civil restraining order remain in effect and enforceable.

4. Family, Juvenile, or Civil Order: If more than one family, juvenile, or other civil restraining or protective order has been issued, the one that was issued last

16

CLASSIFIEDS / LEGALS

must be enforced.

Child Custody and Visitation • The custody and visitation orders are on form DV-140, items 3 and 4. They are sometimes also written on additional pages or referenced in DV-140 or other orders that are not part of the restraining order.

• Forms DV-100 and DV105 are not orders. Do not enforce them.

Certificate of Compliance With VAWA This temporary protective order meets all “full faith and credit” requirements of the Violence Against Women Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2265 (1994)(VAWA), upon notice of the restrained person. This court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter; the restrained person has been or will be afforded notice and timely opportunity to be heard as provided by the laws of this jurisdiction.

This order is valid and entitled to enforcement in each jurisdiction throughout the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, all tribal lands, and all U.S. territories, commonwealths, and possessions and shall be enforced as if it were an order of that jurisdiction.

A CHOP CHOP ADVENTURE We Take a 2019 Silverado into the Mountains for a Tree Scouting Expedition

its cabin. To start off the trip my ungloved hands (no gloves needed in a Northern California winter) were greeted with an already warm leather steering wheel thanks to the heated steering wheel function. My party and I did stop for coffee and although the truck comfortably sits 5, there are 6 cup holders, so we could’ve brought backup coffee or tea as well.

I will be the first to admit, I’m not the biggest Christmas aficionado, I am more of a Halloween guy. With that being said, I do have a train set I put out every year and do enjoy getting into the spirit of whatever holiday the month calls for. So, for this trip up to cut a Douglas fir down in December called for some winter wonderland in the Silverado.

The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 4WD RST Crew made a trip into the Santa Cruz mountains to chop down our own Christmas tree less of a chore and more of a fun and comfortable adventure.

Photo Credit: Chevrolet

Arturo Hilario El Observador It’s the time for family, friends and watching “Elf ” for the hundredth time. With that comes the yuletide traditions wrapping gifts, staying warm and staring at the wonder of a tree being the item that ties rooms together for about a month.

Recently I went on my first trip to cut down my own Christmas tree in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Although I have had my fair share of trips up the 17 into the picturesque area around Big Basin State Park, I had never been to this exact place where Christmas trees actually did grow as far as the eye could see.

In this region of the Santa Cruz mountains various tree farms dot the landscape amongst a wide, one-lane road just off the 17 highway.

The tree farm that I ended up choosing by family recommendation is called JS Tobacco Ranch, although based on the name it seems they made their bread and butter on other plants. They only do the trees now

though (and reefs). I went there with a few family members in the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado RST crew cab, which was more than enough of a tool and comfort to have out in the “wild”.

JS Tobacco Ranch happens to sit upon a rolling hill and with view of the mountain range around us, it was a great spot to walk around for a few hours trying to find our perfect tree.

Although it was a chilly day and there had been rain the previous day, as it happens sometimes the rain broke, and we had a picturesque blue sky above our descent into the tree lined hills when we arrived.

I had previously set up my preferred settings in the intuitive and really good-looking Chevrolet Infotainment 3 screen. It’s 8 inches across and never stuttered on me during my time with the truck. On a quick tap, we were on the Spotify app and were able to access quick functions such as previously played songs, artists, as well as recommended genre playlists from Spotify. With the easy volume controls built into the back side of the steering wheel it was a breeze to turn up the Michael Bublé and Thalia duet of “Mis Deseos/Feliz Navidad” for example.

As we approached inclines and smaller roads off the main highway 17, the Silverado had no issues getting off the road a bit to let cars come down the opposite side of the narrow road.

With its off-road suspension and hill descent control it was a breeze on the way up and the way down after our tree had been chopped.

Back at the tree farm, we took about an hour walking around checking

17

out all the trees of different shapes and sizes. Our ceiling at home is only about 8 feet tall so some giants out at the farm, as beautiful and “Christmas tree archetypes" as they looked, were simply too big for the house, but certainly could’ve fit onto our truck bed.

Eventually amongst a cleared-out area towards the back of the farm we saw one that at first looked a little lopsided and strange standing there on its own amongst a bunch of stumps. As we went in for a closer inspection we realized it looked lopsided because of a stump that was right under it, making it look a bit lackluster.

It turns out this one was “the one”. My first time cutting down a Christmas tree and it was a fond experience.

Just make sure to return the saw at the end of the experience, you can get free cider and coffee as a keepsake instead.

The ease of access of the Chevrolet Silverado 4-wheel drive RST made this a pleasant, easy experience.

From driving in the cold to up and down rain-stained, one-lane roads, there was never a sense that this truck couldn’t handle the elements.

The best part was we didn’t need to tie the tree up on our roof, or stuff in the back of our cross over. It laid comfortably in the truck’s bed.

While on our drive back with our tree, fondly nicknamed “Arbolito”, we listened to some classic Christmas music and had a lively discussion of where the placement would be for dear “Arbolito” within the house.

With that being said, if you have a chance, please try cutting down your own tree. Happy holidays!

The great thing about taking a truck like the Chevy Silverado is that it’s less of a chore and more of a fun opportunity to smoothly drive up into the mountains thanks to its 5.3-liter ECOTEC3 V8 engine and the comforts of its interior.

As I had mentioned before, it was chilly, and it gets even more so as you leave the interior of the Silicon Valley and move up into the mountains.

This was no problem as the truck has great temperature controls within

Al llegar a ese punto, envíe por medio de mensajes telepáticos, todos los sentimientos, emociones y pensamientos que le perturben y mediante una visualización creativa, deposítelos en el interior del cristal como si se tratase de una caja fuerte.

Ahora cierre la caja fuerte con una clave imaginaria de la cual usted se olvidará cuando concluya el ejercicio.

Para atraer salud, amor, dinero y paz al hogar, se aconseja tener en casa un cristal de cuarzo, dos cuarzos rosa, un péndulo de cristal, dos amatistas, una citrina, una pieza de jade, algún objeto de obsidiana, otro de mármol y otro de lapislázuli, una geoda, tres ojos de gato y dos ojos de tigre, una piedra ágata, tres hematitas, dos piedras de luna, dos piedras de sol, dos rodocrositas y una pequeña bola de cristal. Coloque todos los cristales

Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador Los cristales conforman la más hermosa y simétrica representación del mundo mineral. Se han formado a través de miles de años y de cambios geológicos en cuevas y en el subsuelo terrestre. Los cristales poseen una infinidad de aplicaciones para la existencia mística y espiritual del ser humano, por lo que se recomienda al menos tener uno.

Según algunos historiadores la base fundamental de la antigua civilización de la Atlántida fueron los cristales. Lastimosamente en aquel entonces se utilizaron con propósitos degenerativos, lo que causó que todo un continente colapsara.

Los cristales son transmisores y receptores de energía. Utilizándolos correctamente podemos convertirlos en nuestra fuente de energía pura. Los cristales son usados en la fabricación de instrumentos tecnológicos, radios, computadoras, telescopios, etc.

En el mundo místico espiritual, tienen un valor incalculable, porque se pueden transformar en una especie de computadora privada, pues podemos dirigirnos a ellos enfocando

nuestras ideas, memorias y conceptos en los destellos luminosos de luz y energía que ellos emanan. A través de esa luz, nuestra energía puede ser recargada o almacenada por medio de la comunicación telepática entre un cristal y la mente humana.

Una gran cantidad de gemas y cristales provienen de Estados Unidos, Brasil, China, Rusia, India, México, Argentina, Australia, Colombia, Canadá, Perú, Marruecos, Chile, Etiopía, Cambodia, Bolivia, Tahiti, República Dominicana, Tanzania, Madagascar, Uruguay y Mozambique.

I READ THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S RECENTLY RELEASED CLIMATE CHANGE REPORT, AND WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS EVEN BEING BLAMED FOR AN INCREASE IN FOODBORNE ILLNESS. WHAT’S THE CONNECTION?

Yes, the new federal climate report (the “Fourth National Climate Assessment”) paints a dire picture of our future—including compromised food safety—if we don’t rein in greenhouse gas emissions.

According to the non-profit Stop Foodborne Illness (SFI), climate change is already starting to affect food safety as a result of increased bacterial adaptation to fast changing environmental conditions brought on by warming surface temperatures. In essence, the bacteria that rules the world is getting better at adapting to new environments. The stronger the bacteria, the better it can do colonizing new territory—and making more of us sick. One side effect of increased bacterial resistance is much more use of antibiotics by veterinarians, farmers and ranchers to keep animals healthy. But it’s a zero-sum game: The more antibiotics we use on ourselves and animals, the better bacteria get at developing resistance to them.

Additionally, global warming brings increased flooding, which spreads pathogens from misdirected waste streams across soils, including where children play and food crops grow. Meanwhile, warminginduced drought compromises overall soil health and brings new bacterial challenges to farmers and ranchers.

Another way global warming contributes to more foodborne illness is by increasing the incidence and severity of natural disasters where first responders may not prioritize food safety and many of the affected are left without power or running water that could help them sanitize food.

exaggerated “mycotoxin” growth in a warmer world could also contaminate food sources. “Mycotoxins are a group of highly toxic chemical substances that are produced by toxigenic molds that commonly grow on a number of crops,” reports SFI. High temperature, humidity and precipitation brought on by climate change can create optimal conditions for mold growth.

“At high doses, mycotoxins produce acute symptoms and deaths, and particular mycotoxins may possess carcinogenic, immunosuppressive, neurotoxic, estrogenic and teratogenic activity,” adds SFI. What’s scary is that we could already be ingesting these contaminants—and surely will be more so in the future—by eating inadvertently infected crops and/or meat derived from livestock raised on contaminated feed.

And then there’s “zoonosis,” the transmittal of diseases from pets and livestock to people through direct contact with infected animals, meat or wastes.

Climate change will increase the susceptibility of animals to disease, says SFI, thus increasing the likelihood of our contracting illnesses from animals.

While we can try our best to eat responsibly grown foods and stay out of the way of potentially infected animals, the solution to global warming-induced increases in foodborne illness is to stop emitting greenhouse gases. But as we are finding, that’s much more easily said than done.

"FEARLESS GIRL" STATUE RELOCATED TO NY STOCK EXCHANGE recall that she was once there and that she is "on the move to the New York Stock Exchange," adding that "until she's there, stand for her."

The statue was meant to remain just a few days facing the bull as a symbol of gender equality, but the public loved it so much that the city government extended the exhibition for another year.

EFE New York - The popular bronze statue of the "Fearless Girl" that has been facing down Wall Street's iconic "Charging Bull" for the past 18 months, was moved Monday to its new and permanent location in front of the New York Stock Exchange.

The work of Uruguayan-born sculptor Kristen Visbal, the girl will remind people now in her new location of

the importance of gender diversity on corporate boards, the message that State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), the firm that commissioned the statue's creation, had wished it to send.

"Fearless Girl," loved for her brave, defiant attitude, was installed without authorization on March 7, 2017, on the eve of International Women's Day, in front of the statue of the bull on Wall Street, where a plaque with footprints has now been placed to

On Monday, the day of her move, State Street reported the effect of this symbol of changing attitudes toward women in business and said more than 300 companies have responded by adding a female director and another 28 have committed to doing so, while adding that this is just the beginning.

Now, facing the New York Stock Exchange, the girl will have "a bigger stage ... where she can have an even greater impact," Lori Heinel, State Street's deputy global chief investment officer, said on Monday.

Attending this morning's inauguration of the statue along with Heinel were Betty Liu, executive vice chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and Cyrus Taraporevala, president and CEO of State Street Global Advisors.
