Overcharged Tax on an Auto Purchase? Get Your Refund / Californians who want to know if they overpaid sales or use tax when buying a car or truck should verify their local tax rate (www.boe. ca.gov/taxrate) and review their vehicle registration paperwork carefully. Sales and use tax rates vary widely across California, and consumers may be unaware if they are being charged the correct amount of tax. When purchasing a motor vehicle, a buyer should generally pay the tax rate where it will be registered (usually the owner’s home address).

Dejar de fumar no es imposible bers with a history of domestic violence cases.

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

it is not often that spousal abuse receives the attention it merits. those elevator security videos show professional football player, ray rice knocking out his pregnant fiancé and then dragging her body off the elevator. in this case, the national Football league commissioner suspended ray rice for just two weeks; however the atlanta Falcons terminated his contract because of the negative public relations. Some 45% of national football fans are women. the judgements made by both the commissioner and the franchise had to do with preserving a suitable public relations image, which preserved the cash flow from advertisers, the fans who purchase game tickets, and tv viewers. ray rice’s fiancé married him, however, the local authorities went ahead with their ‘domestic violence’ case based on the video evidence available. She forgave him and stood by him. a former girl friend of Greg Hardy, revealed that when she dated Greg, one day in a fit of anger and frustration, he placed his hands around her neck, “He looked me in my eyes and he told me he was going to kill me.” i was so scared, i wanted to die. When he loosened his grip slightly, i said, ‘Just do it. Kill me.”if there were a Greg Hardy video, would Greg Hardy be playing (this past Sunday)? San Francisco’s 49’ers had a lineman, ray McDonald, who allegedly abused his fiancé. it is alleged that the 49’ers have six team mem-

Jerry richardson broke down when he addressed the issue of ‘domestic violence’ after accepting an award for his altruistic community efforts. richardson said, “When it comes to domestic violence, my status is not one of indifference. i am against domestic violence, plain and simple.” (Source: Melissa Harris Perry, MSnBc, 7:00 aM, Sunday, 09.14.14). “the nFl stance against domestic violence is not ‘plain and simple’.” said Melissa Harris Perry. “What is at stake is the relationship of all the nFl franchises, their fan base, and their very lucrative advertisement contracts.” another violence issue exists. at least one of three retired professional football players will have cognitive problems resulting from the brain concussions experienced while playing professional football, at the level of violence we all enjoy. a class action lawsuit was adjudicated in favor of those retired players who had, or are experiencing, brain damage resulting from concussions. the action being taken is misguided. Players are being suspended for several games or forever. When that is the action taken, a family looses its income support. the wife and children are ‘left out in the cold’. there is another alternative to be considered: those found to be practitioners of domestic violence need to be required to undergo a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, and assessment, for the purpose of crafting a plan for ‘human behavioral modification’. in that abusive player’s brain is a pattern of using his exceptional strength and ferocity to dominate an opponent. Somehow this is a valuable

trait of professional athletes. thus the behavior modification plan resulting from the comprehensive assessment must ‘draw new limits’ within the subject’s brain. these limits do not exist and must be established. Behavior modification training may be able to define ‘kids and wife as being off limits to domestic violence of any sort. this approach is much more complex and reasonable than the current ‘legalistic contractual conditions’ which are applied without any consideration or empathy for those impacted. the current practice of banning a gifted athlete from the very sport that employs his special skills and expertise is always a significant loss to some professional team. What the nFl commissioner and the franchise owners are protecting is a $10 Billion dollar enterprise which could go away for a long time if the fan base, the advertisers, and the general public decide that they will not support any sport that retains players guilty of domestic violence. a specific point is that four tv networks, including nBc, aBc, cBS, and Fox are all stakeholders in the 42 billion dollars in tv revenues projected through fiscal year 2022. note that the nFl league has been taxexempt since 1944. but not the individual franchises. it seems reasonable to try the ‘behavior modification’ approach now. it may result in outcomes that are both possible and humane, while permitting a gifted player to remain in the game. Be aware that 85% of domestic violence victims are women. the others are kids and elderly parents. let’s apply behavioral modification to mitigate domestic violence.

el hecho de que en las tiendas de cvS hayan decidido finalmente detener la venta de cigarrillos es, sin lugar a dudas, una buena noticia. actos de este nivel, demuestran que poco a poco, la sociedad avanza en lo que a la salud de las comunidades se refiere.

la nicotina del cigarrillo hace que el corazón trabaje más rápido. el cigarrillo también causa un bloqueo de las arterias del corazón, ocasionando ataques cardíacos, además, los venenos del cigarrillo bloquean las arterias y ocasionan derrames cerebrales.

obviamente, aquel que quiera fumar fumará. Siguen siendo muchos los lugares donde los fumadores encuentran cigarrillos. Pero el hecho de que cada vez se genere más conciencia sobre las consecuencias del vicio, no debe pasar desapercibido.

Pero por si fuera poco el fumar causa enfermedades de los pulmones, como la bronquitis crónica y el enfisema. estas enfermedades disminuyen la cantidad de oxígeno que el cuerpo recibe porque la respiración se hace más difícil.

Para nadie es fácil dejar de fumar. el tabaquismo causa la muerte de miles de personas y sin embargo, dejar el vicio es una de las metas más complicadas que puede tener cualquier persona.

todo ello sin contar con la forma drástica en que la nicotina afecta los dientes y las encías o las consecuencias que puede tener en las mujeres embarazadas, que pueden incluso, tener abortos espontáneos.

Pero es necesario hacerlo. los componentes del cigarrillo afectan la salud de las personas de forma demasiado drástica. De acuerdo con información publicada por los centros de control de enfermedades, cDc, fumar cigarrillos es la causa principal de cáncer de pulmón. además, es claro que el fu-

la nicotina, además, hace más difícil la digestión, lo cual causa úlceras en el estómago y mucha acidez después de comer. Pero lo cierto es que dejar de fumar es posible y nunca es tarde para empezar. yo lo logré. Fue un proceso de más de cuatro años en

los que fui disminuyendo de forma paulatina el consumo. es decir que de fumar en promedio dos paquetes de cigarrillos diarios, pase a uno y después a 4 o 3 cigarrillos diarios. en su momento me reté a mí misma en esta columna y por eso hoy – después de muchos meses – me complace contar que lo logré y que ya no disfruto para nada del acto de fumarme un cigarrillo. no fue fácil pero tampoco imposible, por eso, estoy segura de que usted también lo puede lograr. Si bien es cierto que el vicio es difícil de superar dado el hecho de que el cigarrillo contiene nicotina, una droga que produce una dependencia tan fuerte como la heroína o la cocaína, también es cierto que dejarlo atrás no es imposible; es difícil, pero no imposible.

an analysis of the caHSee completed by the Santa clara county office of education’s assessment and accountability department shows that Santa clara county students as a whole continue to outperform their peers across the state on both the english language arts (ela) and Mathematics portions of the caHSee.

Several highlights of the SCCOE analysis: ‣ Grade 10 asian and White subgroups are performing at or near the ceiling of performance for both portions of the caHSee. in 2014, grade 10 asian students in the county passed the ela portion at a rate of 95 percent and the Mathematics portion at a rate of 98 percent. For grade 10 White students, the rates of passage were 95 for ela and 96 percent for Mathematics.

However, the analysis also indicates that in 2014 some Santa clara county subgroups were outperformed by their statewide counterparts in passing rates on both sections of the caHSee. the caHSee is administered each year

‣ over the last nine years, grade 10 Hispanic/latino students have shown the greatest improvement of all subgroups in their pass rate on the ela portion of the caHSee, with an increase of 11 percentage points, from 64 percent pass-

Jason Alderman Practical Money La vida del jubilado no es barata. Además de dejar de cobrar su sueldo, debe seguir pagando la casa, la comida, los servicios, el transporte y los costos médicos, por solo nombrar algunos gastos. Dado el continuo aumento de los precios, no es de sorprender que, en los últimos años, la gente decida jubilarse cada vez más tarde. Y hablando de los costos de salud, esta cifra seguramente lo dejará helado: Según un estudio anual de Fidelity Investments sobre los costos de los jubilados, se espera que una pareja promedio que se jubile en 2014 a los 65 años necesite U$S220.000 (en dólares de hoy) para cubrir sus gastos médicos durante su retiro. Los que planean jubilarse a los 62, pueden tener unos $17.000 más de gastos médicos por año. El cálculo de Fidelity incluye las primas de Medicare, los deducibles, los copagos y otros gastos no cubiertos, pero sorprendentemente no incluye la mayoría de los servicios odontológicos u oftalmológicos, los medicamentos de venta libre o, lo que es más importante, los cuidados prolongados. Cuando Fidelity encuestó a personas de entre 55 y 64 años que todavía no estaban jubiladas, el 48 por ciento creyó que solo necesitarían U$S50.000 para cubrir sus costos de salud durante el retiro. Esto dista mucho de la realidad.

ahorrado lo suficiente para cubrir sus gastos médicos, este es un ejemplo de lo que podría llegar a pagar: Medicare Parte A ayuda a cubrir los gastos de internación hospitalaria, centros de cuidados especializados y servicios de hospicio, así como los gastos de la atención domiciliaria. La mayoría de la gente no paga una prima mensual por la Parte A. Pero, a partir de 2014, se cobrará un deducible de U$S1.216 por internación, más un co-seguro diario de U$S306 después de los 60 días ($608 por día después de los 90 días). Medicare Parte B paga los servicios de salud que sean médicamente necesarios, la atención ambulatoria, los equipos médicos duraderos y varios servicios preventivos. Es opcional y tiene un costo mensual de $104.90 (aunque las personas de mayores ingresos pagan más). Hay un deducible anual de U$S147 después del cual usted debe pagar el 20 por ciento de los costos aprobados por Medicare, siempre que el médico/ prestador acepte Medicare. Nota: No hay límite anual para los gastos que pague de su bolsillo. Los planes Medicare Parte C (Advantage) son ofrecidos por compañías de seguro privadas como alternativas a las Partes A y B. Suelen estar estructurados como los planes HMO o PPO. La mayoría cubre los medicamentos recetados (por lo que no es necesario tener un plan Parte D) y algunos también ofrecen cobertura odontológica y oftalmológica. Se deben

usar los médicos, hospitales y farmacias que pertenezcan al plan, que son más limitados que los de la Parte A y B. El costo del plan Advantage varía considerablemente dependiendo de factores como monto máximo de gastos pagados de su bolsillo por año, primas mensuales, co-pagos y medicamentos cubiertos. Algunos planes Advantage no cuestan más que Medicare Parte B, mientras que otros tienen una prima mayor (por cubrir los medicamentos y otros servicios adicionales). Medicare Parte D ayuda a cubrir el costo de los medicamentos recetados. Es opcional y tiene una prima mensual. Estos planes privados varían mucho en términos de costo, co-pagos, deducibles y medicamentos cubiertos. La prima mensual promedio de 2014 a nivel nacional es de aproximadamente U$S32, aunque el plan puede llegar a costar unos U$S175 por mes. Además, las personas de mayores ingresos pagan un recargo. Seguramente no encontrará un plan que cubra todos sus medicamentos pero, al menos, intente encontrar el que le cubra los medicamentos más caros. Utilice el buscador de planes de Medicare de www.medicare.gov para comparar los planes Parte D y Advantage de su área. Para más información sobre cómo funciona Medicare o qué cubre y qué no cubre, lea “Medicare & You 2014” en el mismo sitio web. En resumen: Aunque Medicare pague una parte importante de su atención médica como jubilado, al hacer el presupuesto para su retiro asegúrese de tener en cuenta los abultados gastos que seguramente deberá pagar de su bolsillo.

For most people, the prospect of losing income due to injury or disability is a frightening one, but in reality, few believe it is a challenge they will ever personally face. Only 28 percent of employees feel confident in their ability to replace earnings in the event of a disability, according to findings from the 2014 Prudential report, Disability Insurance: Beyond Paycheck Protection. In addition, just 38 percent think their ability to pay for health care costs - such as wellness and preventative maintenance, chronic conditions, and critical illnesses, is very good. “The reality is a vast majority of Americans underestimate their risk of becoming disabled. Helping them understand the likelihood of experiencing a disability at some point, coupled with the potentially

devastating financial impact it can have, is an important foundation to help educate them on the importance of disability insurance,” says Eric Hamilton, vice president, disability products and absence management, Prudential Group Insurance.

* Complete an income/expense review: Get a clear picture of where your money is coming from and where it is going.

Other findings included the fact that an impressive 82 percent of employers offered long-term disability insurance in 2013, yet 33 percent of employees still say they are without disability insurance of any kind.

* Identify alternate income sources: Does your company offer employer sick pay?

The question is what steps can individuals take to help ensure they have an adequate financial safety net? According to Council for Disability Awareness, there are some basic steps that can be implemented to start bridging the gap between no protection and complete coverage:

* Trim expenses: Look for ways to reduce spending.

* Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Do what you can to avoid disability in the first place. * Take action: Develop an action plan in case you are faced with a disability. Life is unpredictable. No one plans on becoming disabled, but planning for the unexpected can bring tremendous peace of mind. Group Insurance coverages are issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America.

aMerican coUnSelinG aSSociation the world can be a tough place. People can be critical or unappreciative of the things we do. But we sometimes are our own harshest critics. rather than realistically seeing the results of tasks undertaken, some people can’t accept compliments or believe that he or she really has done well. it such cases, the person may constantly feel that the goal wasn’t quite met and that no matter how many people are complimentary about what was done, the person doesn’t accept or believe the compliments. Facing life with such a critical attitude makes it difficult to find pleasure in our lives and accomplishments. We may always feel we “should” have done better, and that if people really knew us they wouldn’t say such nice things. Professional counselors refer to the problem as “minimizing the positive” or “telescopic thinking.” the reference is to looking through the wrong end of a telescope,

thus making everything look smaller than it is rather than magnifying what’s being viewed. this unrealistic view can lead to bigger problems. it doesn’t have to be that way. a professional counselor can provide help for someone who has this negative view of his or her life. While a counselor doesn’t have a magic means of improving the way you see yourself and your life, he or she can usually help you find a more realistic way of looking at things. Sometimes all you need is for someone to help guide you through a realistic evaluation of your activities. What a professional counselor can offer is a way to more honestly evaluate how you are performing, rather than the negative view you may have.

one initial approach may be to get you to focus on things you do well. this can be done by making a list of five things you do well, even if not perfectly. it might be things like, “i really care about other people,” or “i work hard to be a good parent.” once you have such a list, stop yourself whenever someone compliments you and you feel yourself minimizing or discounting what was said. take out your list, look at it and remind yourself that there are things you do right. But if you find that you can’t feel good about what you are accomplishing, talk to a counseling professional. He or she can help you find that more positive attitude.

discrepancias. Hasta la fecha, más de 700,000 documentos han sido verificados y procesados. los documentos presentados por los consumidores se mantendrán confidencial y solo serán usados para determinar elegibilidad pero no serán compartidos con ninguna agencia de inmigración. lee dijo que algunos consumidores habrán sometido los documentos requeridos anteriormente pero covered california no pudo verificar ciudadanía o estatus inmigratorio. Por ejemplo, algunos documentos no eran ilegibles o en unos casos los consumidores no presentaron suficiente documentos y por eso es que la agencia está solicitando los documentos nuevamente. los avisos, en inglés y español, incluyen una lista de documentos que los consumidores pueden enviar para verificar su ciudadanía o estatus migratorio. la notificación también está disponible en otros idiomas. los consumidores también recibirán instrucciones sobre cómo subir los documentos a su cuenta de internet de covered california, enviarlos por correo postal o por fax al (888) 329-3700. agentes certificados, consejeros de inscripción certificados, agencias de Servicios Humanos de los condados, y representantes del centro de

Documentos que califican para comprobar estatus migratorio legal incluyen, pero no se limitan a, pasaporte de los ee.UU., certificado de naturalización (n550/n-570), certificado de ciudadanía (n-560/n-561), acta de nacimiento, tarjeta de identificación o licencia de conducir emitida por el estado o gobierno local, tarjeta de identificación escolar, pasaporte extranjero o tarjeta de residente permanente “Green card”.

Here’s food for thought: You may be able to nudge your family in the right direction toward healthful eating if you heed these four facts and hints. 1) Families that eat together may be the healthiest, according to research published in Pediatrics and ScienceDaily. Added bonus: Kids who eat with their families are less likely to be overweight and tend to perform better in school than their peers. 2) Need recipe ideas? In September, which is National Chicken Month, or at any time of year, you can try preparing dishes that celebrate this popular poultry that’s high in protein and low in fat. 3) Get creative at mealtime and dress up your chicken (or other healthy dishes) with dressings and sauces. A variety of salad dressings can be used as a marinade, and barbecue or hot sauces can add additional flavor to your meal. 4) Involve your kids in the preparation of their own healthful meals. They’re more likely to enjoy it if they have a stake in the process.

Assembly speaker pro tempore Nora Campos was joined by city officials and some family members of Cesar Chavez for the dedication of McDonnell Hall as a state histocial landmark in East San Jose on Septmeber 14. Cinthia Rodriguez El Observador Following a Sunday mass, dozens of people gathered for the dedication of McDonnell Hall as a State Historical Landmark in East San Jose. McDonnell Hall was the original mission church for Our Lady of Guadalupe parish and played a significant role in Cesar Chavez’ founding of the farm labor movement in the United States. “Today we are gathered here to celebrate one of our city’s historic sites becoming a state landmark and to pay tribute to this place of history that connected people who changed the course of America’s civil rights for us, our parents, our children, their children, and generations to come. It is our church, where Si Se Puede began,” said Assembly speaker pro tempore Nora Campos. “I am proud as I am having the honor to designate McDonnell Hall as a state landmark and I am even prouder of the idea that formed in this building…the idea of community.” Campos recognized the significance of the hall and how it represented the epicenter

of the farm worker movement. It was there that Cesar Chavez saw the need for fair wages and decent treatment for the people who brought food to the tables. Cesar Chavez’ activism began while doing community organizing in San Jose. A young priest by the name of Donald McDonnell took Chavez under his wing. Father McDonnell used the percepts of the Catholic Church to stop social injustice and help migrants. He exposed Chavez to the conditions of labor, dignity of labor, and the right to organize. McDonnell Hall, originally known as Guadalupe Mission, served as the primary site where Chavez and Father McDonnell served, educated and organized farm workers and other community members. During its active years of operation, many tears were shed, many leaders lost hope as they fought an obstacle that at times seemed impossible, yet the sense a community kept them together. “It’s an important part of American history. It’s a place that must be preserved and remembered,” said Paul Chavez, son of Cesar Chavez.

To some, McDonnell Hall will always represent the power to tell the status quo that their norm is not good enough for their families. The dedication is one step closer to immortalizing Cesar Chavez’ historical importance to the nation’s civil rights movement. The fight for workers rights was about a political cause as it was equally about the holistic idea of building a movement by empowering a community. Parishioners knew that the fight was bigger than themselves. They knew that as members of the community their duty was to each other and that’s why they couldn’t quit. They depended on each other as people continue to depend on each other. “Today we are telling the story behind McDonnell so that the legacy of Cesar Chavez and our civil rights movement is preserved for all times,” said Campos. The church is already a key location on San Jose’s Cesar E. Chavez Memorial Walkway, which commemorates the sites in San Jose that played a role in Chavez’ life.

Veronica T. Avendaño El Observador Emit Mini Mart is the first in a 21-store network to receive a healthy makeover courtesy of, The Health Trust, a non-profit dedicated to promoting health in the Silicon Valley. Emit Mini Mart kicked off the nonprofit’s, ‘Good to Go’ campaign with a launch party this past Wednesday, September 17, inviting the community to view how the store’s layout transformed from aisles of sugary snacks to aisles of produce and healthy snacks. “Today was our launch event for our first major conversion store at Emit’s Mini Mart. We’ve been working with her for several months in introducing fruits vegetables, grab and go snacks,” said Emma Gonzalez, program manager for the Health Trust. Gonzalez said the store owner, Carmina

Rivera has already seen a sales increase by offering healthier options through her participation in the program. The ‘Good to Go’ campaign is set to convert six more stores by the end of this week. Stores that participate in the campaign receive training, marketing materials, and other equipment in exchange for placing an emphasis on produce and healthier food products. Store owners must also agree to sell healthy snacks on a “grab and go” mode. “The Good to Go campaign is really trying to address the issue of having no access to healthy food in low income communities,” Frederick Ferrer, Health Trust’s CEO. “We know that in a low income community folks shop at their corner store 5 times more than they do at a grocery store. So if that’s the case what do they get when they go to a corner store,pretty much unhealthy food.”

The campaign’s goal is to change consumer eating habits by making healthier food products more widely available. Aside from converted local corner markets and convenience stores to be more health centered, the campaign will also deploy mobile vendors with produce carts.`Mobile vendors in return receive brand and marketing tools to help grow their outreach. Through the campaign’s initiatives, consumers will have easier access to healthier food choices and receive quality produce at reasonable prices . The Health Trust’s mission is to advocate for a healthier Silicon Valley through its three initiatives: healthy living, healthy eating, and healthy aging. The ‘Good to Go’ campaign is sponsored by Google, USDA Community Food Project Grant, the Packard Foundation and the city of San Jose. By November of this year, the campaign will transform 17 more stores.

de ciudadanía a los nuevos ciudadanos

Veronica T. Avendaño El Observador Ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos recientemente naturalizados compartieron su camino a la ciudadanía, ‘Un año después: cómo la ciudadanía cambió mi vida“, el pasado miércoles, 10 de septiembre en una conferencia de prensa telefónica sobre el valor de la ciudadanía organizada por New America Media y el Foro Nacional de Inmigración. La conferencia de prensa es parte de la celebración de este mes de la ciudadanía, también se conmemora el Día Nacional de la Ciudadanía, que se celebró el 17 de septiembre. “Más de ocho millones de inmigrantes tienen tarjetas verdes y son elegibles para la ciudadanía estadounidense, sin embargo, sólo ocho por ciento se convierten en ciudadanos cada año, según las últimas cifras de 2012 del Instituto de Políticas de Migración”, dijo Sandy Close moderadora y directora ejecutiva de New America Media. New America Media viajó a seis ciudades para acoger mesas redondas de los medios étnicos sobre la ciudadanía como parte de la campaña de Nuevos Americanos, una

campaña nacional que trabaja con múltiples organizaciones que tienen el objetivo de hacer más accesible la ciudadanía. “Hemos encontrado que la mayor barrera que impedía que los inmigrantes elegibles aplican para ser ciudadanos fue la falta de información”, dijo Close. La campaña utiliza los medios étnicos para ayudar a cerrar la brecha de información entre las comunidades de necesidad y la información o recursos. “Desafortunadamente hay muchos mitos sobre el proceso de ciudadanía y hay un montón de desconocidos sobre el proceso de la ciudadanía”, dijo Vanessa Sandoval, servicios legales de inmigración directora de SIREN (Servicios, Derechos de los Inmigrantes, y la Red de Educación). Sandoval dijo que estos mitos sirven como un elemento de disuasión para los inmigrantes pensando en solicitar la ciudadanía. Una de las partes “desconocidos” del proceso de ciudadanía que Sandoval mencionó la posibilidad de una excepción de pago de solicitud. También mencionó que algunos titulares de la tarjeta verde podrían ser elegibles para tomar el examen de ciudadanía en su idioma nativo.

La opción de tomar el examen en su idioma nativo, es lo que ayudó a residentes el padre de Guadalupe Guerrero. Su padre finalmente tomó su examen de ciudadanía después de haber sido con su titular de una tarjeta verde por mucho tiempo. En febrero, Guerrero sí misma se convirtió en una ciudadana naturalizada. Ella quiere utilizar su nuevo estatus en el proceso político, “La única manera de hacer los cambios que se conviertan en miembros activos de la sociedad, por votación,” dijo ella. De 73 años, Jinzhi Cang, espera con interés la oportunidad de votar. Cang convirtió en ciudadana estadounidense en septiembre del año pasado. “Una de las cosas que veo a mí mismo haciendo como un beneficio de la ciudadanía es la capacidad de votar”, dijo Cang. “Antes de convertirse en ciudadana de Estados Unidos, me sentí como una extraña, una persona sin una voz que no podía elegir vivir la vida que me gustaría ver.” Al hacer estos recursos más disponibles Sandoval dijo que la campaña ha naturalizado más de 120 mil ciudadanos en todo el país.

Cinthia Rodriguez El Observador Exceptional work, dedication, and creative thinking don’t go unnoticed. Hector Gomez has become the first Latino Board of Director member for Harman Management, a national consulting company. Gomez, who’s from Jalisco, Mexico, was a youth leader of a major political party as well as one of the leaders of the federation of students of Guadalajara, a 122,000-member organization before leaving to the US. He attended the University of Guadalajara Facultad de Derecho for three years pursuing a law degree. By 1988 he was granted legal status in the US. Gomez’ first job was at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). By his second day on the job, he was a cook for a couple of months. Within two months he was asked to be a shift supervisor. Eight months after that he was second in command. “The reason I was pushed in that direction is because I never say no,” said Hector Gomez, regional director, Harman Management. Gomez also made sure to learn other job skills and didn’t ignore the little jobs like cleaning and washing dishes. The result was store manager at a KFC in San Ramon, then a second location in Walnut Creek. Over the years, Gomez managed several locations all across the Central Valley, East Bay, South Bay, and in the state of Washington. His style of managing became well known. His ability to

COMMUNITY

maximize profitability also helped him stand out. Gomez’ ideas on things like garnishing plates, having the location clean, and providing great customer service provided a loyal clientele. It’s hard to be in the fast food industry yet he had the numbers to prove he was doing all the right things. With the profits he was making, Gomez was asked to become district manager, later to be known as an area consultant. Throughout his time he spent at a KFC in Oakland, he established a relationship with the police officers. This translated into a safer environment and once again he experienced success. Harman Management, who provides services to KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s and A&W, asked him to become Regional Director. As director, he oversees 125 A&W restaurants, 20 Long John Silver’s, and 40 KFC stores. Gomez is also well known for his ability to lead people, influence operations and his innovative marketing solutions.

“My favorite part of my job is seeing other people feel successful because that’s part of my job,” said Gomez. “I have to develop future leaders, future board of directors, future area consultants. The best part is to help them achieve that.”

Between 2008 and 2010, Hector was responsible for the successful turnaround of 125 poorly performing multi-brand restaurants. Gomez is a 19 time Eagle Award recipient for Harman’s, a four time recipient of the Harman President’s award and, for his role in developing people, he was honored with the PETE award, named after the founder of Harman Management, Pete Harmon. Early on, Gomez learned the difference between the rich and poor from his father. He’d tell him that the rich guy wakes up earlier to figure out how to make more money and the one that isn’t successful stays in bed. “He said you got to wake up and find what’s going to make you successful and he always told me to be the first, the best, or be different, if not you won’t achieve full potential,” shared Gomez. Gomez lived up to his father’s advice. He sees the big picture; he plans ahead, looks at the past, present, and future. He’s willing to try things and recommends building a network. He’s optimistic, flexible to changes and thinks nothing is impossible. Currently, Gomez is also a member of the Franchise Association Board for Long John Silver’s. He works out of Union City in an office filled with books. He has two daughters and a son. He enjoys traveling with his family. Gomez will be a keynote speaker at the 19th Annual Hispanic Business Salute hosted by Telemundo Area de la Bahia and California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Northern Region on September 25 in Concord.

the federal government’s push to increase production of corn-derived ethanol as a gasoline additive since 2007 has actually expanded our national carbon footprint and contributed to a range of other problems. Photo: Michael cote.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss eartHtalK ethanol and similar “biofuels” made from corn and other crops seem like a good idea given their potential for reducing our carbon outputs ,as well as our reliance on fossil fuels. But recent research has shown that the federal government’s push to up production of corn-derived ethanol, as a gasoline additive since 2007, has actually expanded our national carbon footprint and contributed to a range of other problems. U.S. corn producers started ramping up ethanol production in 2007 as a result of President George W. Bush’s renewable Fuels Standard (rFS), which mandated an increase in the volume of renewable fuel to be blended into transportation fuel from nine billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion by 2022. ethanol now makes up 10 percent

of the gasoline available at filling stations. But environmentalists now say that the promise of ethanol has turned out to be too good to be true. For one, there is the issue of net energy produced. according to cornell University ecologist David Pimentel, growing and processing corn into a gallon of ethanol requires 131,000 BtUs of energy, but the resulting ethanol contains only 77,000 BtUs. and since fossil-fuel-powered equipment is used to plant, harvest, process and distribute ethanol, the numbers only get worse. the non-profit environmental Working Group (eWG) warns that continued production of corn ethanol is not only “worse for the climate than gasoline”, but also bad for farmers, the land and consumers: “it is now clear that the federal corn ethanol mandate has driven up food prices, strained agricultural

markets, increased competition for arable land and promoted conversion of uncultivated land to grow crops.” additionally, the group reports that previous estimates “dramatically underestimated corn ethanol’s greenhouse gas emissions by failing to account for changes in land use,” citing a 2012 study documenting the conversion of eight million acres of Midwestern grassland and wetlands to corn fields for ethanol between 2008 and 2011. “these land use changes resulted in annual emissions of 85 million to 236 million metric tons of greenhouse gases,” says eWG. “in light of these emissions, many scientists now question the environmental benefit of socalled biofuels produced by converting food crops.” Given the potential negative impacts of so-much cornbased ethanol, the U.S. environmental Protection agen-

cy is reportedly weighing a proposal to cut the amount currently required by law to be blended into gasoline by 1.39 billion gallons. if the federal government decides to do this, it could lower U.S. carbon emissions by some three million tons—equivalent to taking 580,000 cars off the roads for a year. Meanwhile, researchers are trying to develop greener forms of ethanol, but none are ready for market yet. “the lifecycle emissions of ethanol ‘from seed to tailpipe’ depend on how the ethanol is made and what it is made from,” reports the Union of concerned Scientists (UcS). the best ethanol, they say, can produce as much as 90 percent fewer lifecycle emissions than gasoline, but the worst can produce much more. So there still may be room for ethanol in our energy future, but not if we keep doing it the way we are now.

‘American Masters: The Boomer List’ premiering nationwide September 23, 9p.m. on PBS, explores the story of the influential baby boomer generation (1946-1964) through the lives of 19 iconic boomers--one born each year of the baby boom. Subjects including Samuel L. Jackson, Billy Joel, Tommy Hilfiger, Amy Tan, Maria Shriver, Kim Cattrall, Erin Brockovich, Rosie O’Donnell, David LaChapelle, Ellen Ochoa and John Leguizamo illuminate the important movements and changes that shaped the world during these years. “I wasn’t supposed to make it. I just wasn’t. Not statistically. I didn’t see my people anywhere that was important, except in the news, which is where you don’t want to be. I just didn’t feel like I was part of the American fabric,” says John Leguizamo in ‘American Masters: The Boomer List.’ Intimate interviews by filmmaker/photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (The Black List, The Latino List, The Out List) focus on these individuals’ exceptional achievements, struggles and identities, sharing the experi-

A twelve-member ensemble of musicians will be chosen from those applications by a juried panel of reviewers. The twelve will perform as the Mariachi Arcoiris at their debut performance on Saturday, October 25 at the Día San Jose Festival in St. James Park, San Jose, California.

The Surdna Foundation is issuing a request for proposals to individual artists, culture bearers and nonprofit arts organizations. These funds are designed to support projects developed in response to communities’ specific challenges and to support artists and organizations whose long-term, deeply-rooted work has increased social engagement without necessarily being explicitly “activist.” The foundation will consider all artistic disciplines, including cross-disciplinary work. Successful applicants will receive grants ranging from $25,000 to $150,000 over one or two year periods, with a maximum total award of

ARTS & CULTURE

$150,000 per year. The Request for Proposals is on the Surdna Foundation website: www.surdna.org/rfp The deadline for submitting a proposal is November 12, 2014 at 11:59 pm EST. Grants will be announced in April 2015. Surdna’s Artists Engaging in Social Change program works to promote the potential of artists to be catalysts for social change and to promote the cultural traditions of their communities. The foundation values artists and culture bearers ‘who nurture, sustain, and grow our communities’ cultural traditions. We therefore support projects that help artists and culture bearers deepen our cul-

tural understanding or help communities achieve social change.’ Proposals will be judged on the quality of the project concept in relation to social change; on each project’s aesthetic rigor and artistic excellence; the artist’s (or organization’s) commitment to a particular community and; and the artist’s (or organization’s) ability to complete the project and use the financial support effectively. The Surdna Foundation will offer two webinars to answer questions. The first of these calls will take place on Tuesday, September 23 at 4:00 p.m. (EDT). The second will take place on October 21 at 1:00 p.m. (EDT).

Thomas wakes up in a lift, moving slowly upward. As the box grinds to a halt and the doors open, he s finds himself among a colony of boys who welcome him to the Glade – a large open expanse surrounded by enormous concrete walls. Thomas’ mind is blank. He has no knowledge of where he is, doesn’t know where he came from, and he can’t remember his parents, his past, or even his own name. Thomas and his fellow “Gladers” don’t know how or why they got to the Glade. They only know that each morning, giant concrete doors that lead to the Maze open. Every night at sunset they close. And every thirty days, a new boy arrives in the lift. The predictable behavior of the Maze made Thomas’ arrival expected. What’s not expected is having the box appear again, less than a week later, carrying Teresa, the first girl to arrive in the Glade. Thomas learns that each resident of the Glade has a role to play, from gardening to construction to being one of the elite runners who map the walls of the Maze that keep them captive and change configurations every night. Maze Runners race the clock to cover as much ground as possible before the end of the day when the Maze locks down and the deadly biomechanical Grievers roam the corridors of the concrete structure. Even as a newcomer or “greenie,” Thomas feels an unsettling familiarity about the Glade and the Maze. There is something locked away in his memories that might, in fact, be the key to solving the mysteries of the Maze and possibly the world beyond.

When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and mighthave-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide— driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves.

Based on Lawrence Block’s bestselling series of mystery novels, A Walk among the Tombstones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafﬁcker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the ﬁrst time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime…nor will it be the last. Blurring the lines between right and wrong, Scudder races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again.

Adrian Peterson, corredor de los Vikingos de Minnesota, ha tenido una complicada semana luego de que se ventilara un nuevo caso de abuso infantil en el que está involucrado, por lo que su equipo decidió inhabilitarlo.

Peterson fue acusado de provocarle heridas visibles a su hijo con un cable, por lo que se inició un proceso en los tribunales del que salió en libertad tras pagar una fianza de 15 mil dólares.

En medio de la polémica que se ha generado en la liga de futbol americano por el caso de Ray Rice, la atención se ha centrado en otros jugadores con problemas de violencia doméstica, entre

En su choque frente al conjunto “purépecha” quieren consolidar la mejoría que se ha dado con la llegada de Guillermo Vázquez al timón de los auriazules. “Hachita” juzgó que ganarle al Morelia el próximo viernes, en su juego de la fecha nueve del Apertura 2014 de Liga MX, será “la mejor forma de ratificar el buen momento que está pasando el equipo.

De esta manera y tras la crisis que enfrentan algunos jugadores, en la NFL se ha querido dar un ejemplo con sanciones fuertes, por lo pronto Adrian Peterson, quien es uno de los jugadores con más potencial económico por su imagen, tendrá que permanecer inhabilitado hasta nuevo aviso.

Al final de la sexta jornada del certamen Vega de Lille tuvo una actuación complicada en la flota de oro de la clase RS:X femenil al terminar 27, 18 y 26 en sus tres regatas programadas para ubicarse en el sitio 23 de la clasificación general. Esto después de ocho regatas, pero ascendió al puesto 12 por nación, lo que la coloca en zona de clasificación olímpica. Las rivales que pe-
