WWW.EL-OBSERVADOR.COM Supervisors Call for Study of Funding Affordable Housing Without Tax Increase The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors today unanimously approved Supervisor Dave Cortese’s proposal to study the revenue potential of a $100 million Permanent Housing for the Homeless Charter Fund that would require no tax increase. Under the referral to the Board from Cortese and Supervisor Cindy Chavez, the Permanent Housing for the Homeless Charter Fund would be financed similar to the way the County funds parks and open space acquisition. Voters would be asked to approve a ballot measure setting aside 0.375 cents per $100 of assessed property valuation of the taxes they already pay for new permanent affordable housing.

CANDIDATES
Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR These ‘VOTING CHOICES & RECOMMENDATIONS’ are made here based on official information obtained from California Secretary of State, Elections Division, Sacramento, CA; the Registrar of Voters, County of Santa Clara (website: ‘sccvote.org’, click on ‘Home Page’, click on “Candidates and Measures” and SmartVoter.org (League of Women Voters, a non-partisan; objective and factual source). Each voter may do his/her own ‘due diligence’ information search by going directly to these sources of valid, factual, & certified information. Since this ‘mid-term election’ is very important at all jurisdiction levels, it is recommended that citizens register to vote before October 20, 2014 (the last registratiion day qualifying one to vote in this California General Election, 7:00 AM-8:00 PM, Tuesday, November 4, 2014) or to VOTE-BY-MAIL Already mailed is an “Official Information Guide” which has a ‘Certificate of Correctness” signed by I. Debra Bowen, Secretary of State, State of California. The County of Santa Clara’s official ‘Voter Information pamphlet is also certified. When voting, each voter must make many decisions which are reflected by their choices of candidates who will represent their interests when crafting public policy. We all agree to governance under the U.S. Constitution. Conservatives (Republicans) tend to limit the federal government to those governance activities ennumerated in the U.S. Constitution. Liberals (Democrats) tend to permit the federal government to undertake activities which are needed by the people and which involve sustainable stewardship of our national resources and social needs. . What follows are VOTING CHOICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS made by Hilbert Morales, MPH/MSC., after reviewing official materials. One advocacy objective is admitted: EO would want the growing Hispanic-Latino community to play a major role in determining the outcome of these elections so as to fully express itself through its own elected officials (and choices).

PRACTICAL MONEY SKILLS During the holiday gift buying frenzy, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed about not having enough money to spend on your loved ones. With some careful planning and creative gift giving, you can enjoy some holiday cheer without the financial fear. Check out these holiday savings tips from Practical Money Skills: ‣ Develop a budget and stick to it: Do not spend more than 1.5 percent of your household annual income on holiday gifts and entertainment. ‣ Create a “micro budget”: Write a list of everyone on your gift list and decide how much you would like to spend on each person. This budget should also include costs for additional items such as cards, postage, giftwrapping etc. ‣ Shop early: Do not wait until the very last minute to buy presents or you may end up overspending or buying items you did not plan to. Having extra time to compare prices is especially helpful when buying big-ticket items such as electronics.
‣ Get creative: Handmade gifts or even personalized coupons can be a special. Think about what the person may want or need then incorporate your own talents. ‣ Draw names & create a spending cap: This way, everyone gets a gift but each person only has to buy one gift. ‣ Shop online: It’s fast, easy, and you can easily comparison shop. By ordering from the comforts of your own home, you also resist extra temptations like eating out or making impulse purchases. ‣ Pay off your credit cards: If you plan to shop with credit, make sure you have enough money in your bank account to pay off the amount when the bill arrives ‣ Donate more than cash: Do not spend more than 1.5 percent of your household annual income on holiday gifts and entertainment. ‣ Enjoy free and inexpensive holiday activities: There are ample ways to get into the holiday spirit without breaking your budget.

HEALTH
EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com
Gabriella Rustia, B.Sc. SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR Did you hear about the important update that just came out? Not for your iPhone, but for your health! That’s right, flu season is about to begin during October and it takes two weeks for a vaccination to reach full effectiveness. Even if you were vaccinated last year, or earlier, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends getting the flu vaccine annually. The influenza virus that causes the “flu” is always adapting, and the effectiveness of all vaccines fades with time. Most people wouldn’t dare wait too long and run their smart-phone on outdated software; so why leave your own immune system to fend for itself?

I’m happy to report that I’ve received the new 2014 flu vaccine and look forward to a
VEHICULOS ELECTRICOS
Winter free from body aches, fatigue, fever, and runny nose that the influenza virus notoriously causes. As a fellow resident of the Bay Area your chance of catching the flu has decreased by a very small amount because I was vaccinated, so I probably won’t be carrying the virus around everywhere I go. As a community, increasing the rate of vaccination will decrease the number of people who ultimately suffer from experiencing flu symptoms. According to a recent CDC report, in 2013 only 46% of Americans were vaccinated against influenza. As a nation this ‘flu’ disease cost us $16.3 billion in lost earnings by taking sick-time off from work. There are more serious concerns from catching influenza than just missing work or school, thousands die of influenza each year or have to be hospitalized. Included in the new Affordable Care Act, many plans
cover this form of preventive care for free. For those who were previously excluded due to egg allergies, or because of your age, there are several different options available. Those most at risk include children under age eight, for whom the CDC recommends the quadrivalent nasal spray, which protects against four strains of the virus. Some children even need to get two doses to be fully protected, so it’s even more important to receive their first dose before flu season starts. There are some who will still be excluded from getting a vaccination due to medical concerns, most notably infants younger than 6 months of age. Their only protection against this deadly disease is the hope that those around them are taking measures to protect themselves, including vaccination. Other ways to help stop the spread of (any airborne) disease is regular hand washing, covering a cough,

(UFW) This past week Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and First Lady Anne Gust Brown, along with The California Museum, announced the 8th class of inductees into their Hall of Fame. This marked the induction of legendary community organizer Fred Ross, along with other inspirational individuals such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Francis Ford Coppola. UFW President Arturo S. Rodriguez joined Fred Ross Jr. and other Ross family members at ceremonies marking the induction of the 8th class of the Hall of Fame at the California Museum. Fred Ross’ remarkable career spanned seven decades from the 1930s when he ran the federal migratory labor camp immortalized in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. He organized Dust Bowl refugees, helping them form camp councils and achieve selfgovernance. He was the only
Local Icon Fred Ross camp manager to challenge racial segregation. During WWII he and his wife moved to Cleveland, where he helped Japanese Americans find jobs and housing upon their release from the internment camps. After the war, in Orange County, Ross organized parents to fight segregation in the local schools. Some of them sued the school district and won, and their case, Mendez vs. Westminster, laid the groundwork for the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Brown vs. Board of Education.
Ross discovered and trained Cesar Chavez in 1952, while setting up a chapter of the Community Service Organization in East San Jose. Together they turned CSO into the most effective and militant Latino civil rights organization of its day. Chavez quit CSO in 1962 to begin what would become the UFW, which Ross joined full time in 1966. There, he trained more than two thousand organizers, whose efforts helped tens of thousands of farm workers gain better wages, health care and safer working conditions. Ross wrote, and the UFW published, the book ‘Conquering Goliath’, about Chavez’s first organizing effort among farm workers in 1958-59 in Ventura County. Governor Brown remarked, “These talented pioneers represent the very best of California,”. Ross’ influence continues to be felt today in the ongoing work of the thousands of leaders and organizers he trained.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY Every election, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters operates the polling places entirely with volunteer Election Officers. Election Officer Training for the November 4th General Election has begun, and the Registrar of Voters is calling upon residents to serve as volunteer Election Officers. This election will require staffing 834 polling locations in 9 languages throughout the county. This year, the Registrar of Voters needs Election Officers fluent in Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, and Korean, in addition to Election Officers fluent in English, Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Supporting more languages this year means the County needs more volunteers. “We are building partnerships with more communi-
ties than ever before. If you have ever thought about becoming more involved with the democratic process, right now is a perfect time to take action,” said Shannon Bushey, Registrar of Voters. Anyone who is registered to vote in the State of California, or is a legal permanent resident, can become an Election Officer. Experience is not necessary as training is provided. Volunteers are paid stipends starting at $95.00. Volunteers can earn a supplemental stipend for bilingual skills. Bilingual Election Officers must be fluent in English and one of the following languages: Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Anyone who is interested in volunteering to be an Election Officer is encouraged to contact the Registrar of Voters’ Office immediately

Peter Schurmann NEW AMERICA MEDIA Berkeley, California - Cuando Ana Aceves tenía 12 años, estaba sentada en el porche de sus padres en la ciudad de Merced del Valle Central en California, levantó la vista hacia el cielo nocturno y tuvo un “viaje astral”. Ella se vio a sí misma en el porche, y luego la ciudad y el estado, el planeta, y finalmente las estrellas. Fue entonces que la energética estudiante de 23 años de edad, en su último año en UC Berkeley dice que supo exactamente lo que quería hacer. “Corrí dentro de la casa y le dije a mi mamá que quería ser una astróloga”, explicó con una risa. “Creo que quieres decir una astrónoma”, la corrigió su madre. Hoy Aceves, la hija de inmigrantes mexicanos y la primera en su familia en asistir a la universidad, esta haciendo doble especialización en Astrofísica y Estudios de los Medios de Comunicación. De hecho, ella es la única estudiante en este extenso campus de unos 30.000 estudiantes de pregrado con este doble enfoque. Gracias a una prestigiosa beca de la Asociación Americana para el Avance de la Ciencia (AAAS), ahora lo está utilizando para ayudar a ampliar la programación de cien-

todo el día todos los días, porque era el único canal que teníamos”, recordó. “Recuerdo todos los sábados por la mañana Bill Nye the Science Guy salía por media hora en español, y me levantaba a mirar”.
Atando cabos Los padres de Aceves se conocieron en Merced, aunque ambos emigraron de la misma zona de Michoacán, México al centro de California a mediados de la década de 1980. Ninguno terminó la universidad, aunque Aceves dice que antes de salir de México su padre comenzó una licenciatura en matemáticas y física, pero después abandono sus estudios para mantener a sus padres y hermanos. “Cuando nació mi hermano [menor], tenía muchas complicaciones de salud”, dijo. “Mi madre se frustro mucho porque no podía comunicarse con las enfermeras, por lo que decidió aprender inglés”. Hay una foto de Aceves junto a su madre en sus togas y birretes de graduación sobre la repisa en la casa de sus padres. “Estoy muy orgullosa de ella... ella es mi inspiración”. Tras debatir entre UCLA y Berkeley, ella eligió la segunda opción, enamorándose del campus y porque el viaje a casa sería más corto. Una vez allí, ella optó por estudios de medios de comunicación como una especialización alternativa, reconociendo que las matemáticas no eran su punto fuerte. “Sabía que iba

a combinarlos”, dijo de sus opciones para sus títulos, “solo que no estaba segura de cómo”. Se inscribió en una clase de ciencias de comunicación que involucraba la organización de una conferencia en torno a un tema específico – ese año se escogió el futuro del clima y la exploración espacial. “Al final... me di cuenta que realmente me gusta hablar de las investigaciones de otras personas”, dijo ella. “Me di cuenta de que esto es lo que quiero hacer”. Después de llegar a casa, tomó un paso más, preguntándose: “¿Y si lo hago en español?” La respuesta llegó en abril, cuando recibió el AAAS Mass Media Fellowship for Scientists and Engineers (Beca de AAAS para Científicos e

Era uno de los pocos programas de ciencia disponibles en español para una joven científica aspirante como Aceves, quien apunta a modelos a seguir como José Hernández, el ex astronauta también criado en el Valle Central por padres migrantes. Pero Aceves dice que nunca pensó en su identidad hispana o el hecho de que hay relativamente pocos hispanos en la ciencia hasta hace poco, cuando ella leyó detenidamente los nombres y vio los rostros de los demás en su programa. “No había nadie que se parecía a mí”, recuerda.
De hecho, según la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias, los hispanos representan sólo el 10 por ciento de todos los títulos relacionados con STEM (las disciplinas académicas de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería, y matemática). Los datos del censo de 2011 muestran que los hispanos representan sólo el 11 por ciento de esa fuerza laboral. Es algo que Aceves espera cambiar.“Mi mayor sueño... sería tener mi propio programa en español en el horario estelar”, dijo, mencionando que sus amigas a veces bromeando le dicen Carla Sagana, como el famoso presentador del programa Cosmos, Carl Sagan. “Desháganse de la novela, y pónganme ahí. Déjenme llegar a un público de habla hispana, y animar a otras mujeres a seguir las ciencias”.

Veronica T. Avendaño EL OBSERVADOR Known for his smooth moves on the dance floor and sharp colorful zoot suits, Isidro “Sid” Duran, since his August 28th passing earlier this year, leaves behind a legacy of his commitment to helping his community. The San Jose community citizen was born in the Midwest country side of Nebraska on May 15, 1931 at his home in Morrill. His parents were originally from Mexico. His father was from Hacienda Silao, Guanajuato and his mother from Jerez, Zacatecas.

A family tragedy and incidents of discrimination in the town caused the family to relocate to Hollister, California where his father worked as a farm labor contractor. Duran attended Sacred Heart Parish School, then later Hollister High School. Duran spent most of his life working in construction and other handy man jobs, but during his youth he worked in the fields. It was in the fields, that a young 17 year old Duran met his then wife. The two met working in Gilroy, picking the city’s famous garlic. His wife was not the only person Duran met through produce. Produce picking led Duran to also share a moment with Ricardo Valenzuela, famously known as Ritchie Valens. Both men picked apricots together at one point in time. A young Duran was also was a local hero. In the 1950s, his family sat watching the local news program broadcasting a man trapped in dirt from a piping collapse. Duran swam through the dirt to reach the man to shovel dirt away from his face. Before his reign as “El Pachuco,” an affectionate nickname given to him by his GI Forum colleagues, Duran served in the army as a gun commander during the Korean War. His army schooling was done at
OCTOBER 10-16, 2014
Fort Collins in Colorado. For the majority of his army service, he was stationed in Chicago. Job prospects and humble married life beginnings brought Duran to San Jose. His trade involved construction but he was known to all as an overall handyman with abilities to fix roofing and plumbing issues. As a construction worker equipment operator, Duran’s former job sites included San Jose’s Eastridge mall. His time with the American GI Forum, an organization founded on combating inequalities faced by Hispanic Veterans, made him an iconic community symbol. Duran served multiple times as the organization’s national sergeant of arms. During his first term as sergeant of arms, up until the last few minutes before his position announcement, Duran, always looking to make a sharp impression, was asking for advice on which tie complimented his outfit best. He was an active participant in the forum’s projects, focusing mainly on education related projects such as scholarship fundraisers. His colleagues believed Duran’s drive to further youth educational goals derived from his own lack of formal university higher education. One of Duran’s proudest accomplishments through his GI forum participation, stands as its own beacon of history in San Jose, the San Jose Vietnam Veteran Memorial “Sons of San Jose.” Duran helped fundraise for the project to honor San Jose’s fallen servicemen. His involvement in the project allowed him to raise the flag at the memorial’s opening ceremony. His signature zoot suit, tough, but jokester attitude made him memorable at community events and even at national level GI forum events.
It is rumored he owned more than 30 zoot suits, and at any big occasion, it was highly likely he would make an outfit change. At any event, Duran would have ladies lined up waiting to take a photo or tear up the dance floor with him. His favorite musical stylings included cumbias and oldies. He frequented many musical events and local shows with Music in the Park and the Mariachi Festival being a couple of his longtime favorite events. At a Los Lonely Boys show, the band, impressed by his zoot suit, sent for him so they could mingle backstage. His suits also earned him recognition at event with Dancing With the Stars winner, J.R. Martinez. Martinez told the crowd that Duran looked like he was born in a zoot suit. His life in San Jose may have appeared to be that of a lone wolf, but Duran was anything but. As one of 11 siblings Duran was strongly committed to his family obligations. Each year the family hosts a family reunion that easily boasts 200 plus participants. Duran’s commitment to planning the family reunions came from a lesson instilled in him by his father, while on his death bed. His father insisted that though he may not have left worldly possessions, he left his family each other. His stylish outfits and dance moves got him recognition, but friends and colleagues testify that it was truly Duran’s helpful spirit and stamina that made him a shining light in his community. His “problem solving” attitude and willingness to lend a helping hand are what made him popular in the community amongst musicians, politicians and more. Until his late 70s, early 80s, Duran could still be found fixing a rooftop to help out. The GI Forum East Valley Chapter will be hosting a celebration of life for the last pachuco standing this Saturday at the Moose Lounge #401, 1825 Mt. Pleasant Rd at 5pm.

Eight Bay Area Latin entrepreneurs were honored for their contributions to their communities. One of them was our local business woman, Xiomara Vielman, of Next Financial Group, Inc. “I am honored to receive an award from the State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. To be a Latina Professional in the Financial Services Industry is both challenging and rewarding” Xiomara said.
“I help clients understand in simple terms how to save, invest, and plan for their future. I don’t like to hear ‘I didn’t know, no one ever told me.’ It is important to understand that money can be seen as a tool if used wisely.” Her expertise was honored because of her dedication to helping her community and fellow Latinos in achieving financial stability and taking the time to help each and ev-

ery one of her clients with the utmost respect and care. “Although I speak Spanish fluently it is often difficult to teach non-native speakers, but I thrive and am content to help one person at a time. Thank you to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Silicon Valley for the nomination. I am proud to be a part of a wonderful organization which genuinely wants to help others.”

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Loud Riordan, the Outreach Coordinator for the Alameda Energy Challenge, has been busy promoting the Energy Challenge, which promotes everything from recycling and waste reduction to energy efficiency. A new program from the Alameda County agency StopWaste, has as one of its goals to be “an extended campaign to raise awareness on home energy use and to help educate residents on how they can save money on their utility bills, while saving energy and helping the environment.” The local challenge extends from the larger statewide initiative to educate people

on how to better manage their energy needs and help reduce their costs, all while aiding the environment. This summer saw the Fremont Energy Challenge come to fruition as the previous program, also Alameda based, saw results go a step in the right direction. That Dublin Energy Challenge went until January of this year. According to Riordan the program arose through the help of the governing cities. “We partnered with the city of Fremont, the Fremont libraries, and Dale hardware, a local Ace hardware franchise.” The goal from their perspective was to reach people through those various channels, and have them sign up for the free online tool called the home energy ana-

Overall the Fremont Energy Challenge has signed up 224 households so far, totaling to around $1120 of donations to the Fremont Library. More were engaged through social media, news services and other methods of outreach, but because they did not all
sign up for the online tool they are not counted into the total. Even then, the program has exceeded their initial goal of $1000 in donations. Riordan sees the tool as a means of really learning to understand the meter and energy use of the consumer. One feature is the “custom recommendations on how to save energy based on how they’re using their energy at
Although the program hopes to keep heading to other cities in the Bay Area, the agency is Alameda based. It’s good to see that this is something that could potentially spread to every region of the Bay Area and the state. The next Challenge will take place in San Leandro, with an accompanying home energy roadshow that is an interactive trailer that is part of the statewide energy upgrade California program. StopWaste and its coordinator, Lou Riordan, believe it will be a success. “This is a great start. The city I know is

Desperate Housewives of relatively recent memory.
Sabrina Vourvoulias NAM/AL DÍA It’s no news to anyone that Latinas don’t get much diversity of roles in popular entertainment media. On TV we have sexy domestic workers, Ana Ortiz and company on Devious Maids, and sexy bimbo Sofia Vergara on Modern Family. On
film, we’ve got sexy badasses Zoe Saldana in Colombiana and Michelle Rodriguez in the Machete and Resident Evil flicks. We’ve got sexy prostitutes and strippers, too, like Rosario Dawson and Jessica Alba in Sin City 1 and 2. We’ve got Eva Mendes as the sexy homewrecker on film in The Women, and Eva Longoria as the sexy wife who wrecks her own home on the
Nothing wrong with being sexy, of course, but the sheer redundancy of the preceding paragraph should give us pause when we think about Latinas and their representation on big or little screen. As it happens, a recent study from the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism of the University of Southern California gives cause for more than just pause. One of the findings in a study on race and ethnicity in 600 popular films conducted by Stacey Smith, Katherine Pieper and Mark Choueiti is that while Latinas were more more likely to be featured in popular films than any other race or ethnicity, no other race/ethnicity is more sexualized. “Nudity or showing exposed skin between the mid chest and upper thigh region var-
ied by race/ethnicity,” the report states. “Hispanic females (37.5 percent) were more likely than females from all other races to be shown partially or fully naked on screen.” In numbers, the report found that 36.1 percent of the Latina characters were depicted in sexualized attire (White women - 32.2 percent; Black women - 24.6 percent; Asian women - 23.6 percent; other races/ethnicities - 26.1). Additionally, 37.5 percent of the Latina characters were depicted partially or fully naked (White women - 31.9 percent; Black women - 23.5 percent; Asian women - 18.2 percent; other races/ ethnicities - 21.7 percent). And, since these numbers
ARTS & CULTURE
didn’t necessarily correlate to attractiveness (only 11.1 percent were referenced as “attractive” or “hot” according to the study), the findings indicate such portrayals are tied to limiting and abiding cultural stereotypes. This last is borne out by another finding of the report — that Latino men were also the most likely of any of the races/ethnicities in the study to be depicted in “tight, alluring or revealing” clothing. The study further reports on the representation of speaking roles (wherein a “living being” speaks more than one word overtly on screen) across 100 of the top-grossing films of 2013. Of the 3,932 speaking parts evaluated, 74.1 percent were
15
White; 14.1 percent were Black; 4.9 percent were Latinos; 4.4 percent were Asian; 1.1 percent were Middle Eastern; less than 1 percent were American Indian or Alaska Natives and 1.2 percent were from “other” races and ethnicities). Since 16.3 percent of the population is Latino, the report states, “Hispanics clearly are the most underserved racial/ethnic group by the film industry.” The entertainment industry is telling Latinas: Shut up and get naked. If you want to get on screen, this is how we see you. It is time for Latino audiences — who purchase 25 percent of all movie tickets and command $1 trillion in spending power — to demand a change.

ENTERTAINMENT
Edward James Olmos La nueva temporada de la televisión ya llegó, con su multitud de programas nuevos que luchan por la atención del público. Uno de estos nuevos programas es la comedia familiar de ABC, Cristela. No hay que perdérsela en su estreno el viernes, 10 de octubre a las 8:30/7:30 horario central. La protagonista de Cristela es una mujer Latina honesta y graciosa. Esta latina es Cristela Alonzo, una nueva y brillante voz cómica en Estados Unidos, quien deslumbra la pantalla con su manejo del tempo. Alonzo también escribió el piloto, que está basado liberalmente en su historia única como estadounidense, y que trae la sensibilidad cultural a un programa que se trata de latinos. Es desafortunado que en 2014 los canales abiertos de televisión sigan sin representar la rica diversidad en Estados Unidos. Programas disruptivos como Grey’s Anatomy han logrado reflejar la verdadera diversidad de este país, pero siguen siendo la excepción, no lo común. Cristela, una de las primeras comedias en tener como pro-
tagonista a una latina, nos muestra como somos—una mezcla de pueblos, descendencias y opiniones. En esta comedia, que se desarrolla en Dallas, Cristela vive con varias generaciones de su familia mientras que intenta realizar su sueño muchas veces estropeado de graduarse como abogada. La familia es una mezcolanza de personajes muy bien dibujados que preparan lo que seguramente va a ser una serie de debilidades, momentos de ternura, peleas tercas, abrazos fuertes, desilusiones y éxitos. La madre, Natalia (Terri Hoyos), recuerda a su familia en todo momento que ella carecía de mucho de niña. A la hermana bombón Daniela (Maria Canals-Barrera) le gusta vivir dentro de los límites tradicionales y siempre busca mantener la paz en la familia. Félix (Carlos Pone), el cuñado sufrido, sólo quiere que Cristela salga de la casa y haga su propia vida. Para completar el elenco tenemos al determinado “pelo en la sopa”, el gordito Alberto, quien está convencido de que Cristela le echa el ojo. El comediante del “stand-up” (y creador de The Fluffy Movie), Gabriel Iglesias, lo representa

con gran coquetería. El brillo en sus ojos y los rechazos interminables por parte de Cristela podrían formar su propio programa aparte. En la series, aprendemos que Cristela acaba de conseguir un puesto no pagado como becaria en un bufete de leyes. Esto permite complementar el programa al presentar a un jefe políticamente incorrecto que se roba el show y que pronuncia el caló chicano con aplomo, así como dos otros becarios que tienen personalidades opuestas. En suma, Cristela es una comedia innovadora protagonizada por una artista latina muy dinámica. Cuenta una historia bonita y emocionante—aunque con algo de acento. No pierdas de vista a Cristela, el personaje, porque sin duda ella será la heroína en su familia y se ganará tu corazón. Edward James Olmos es un actor galardonado, con participaciones en Stand and Deliver, American Family, Battlestar Galactica, Blade Runner, Miami Vice, Selena, Zoot Suit y más de 90 otros papeles. Anticipa el día en que Hollywood por fin acoja el contenido latino.

(NOTIMEX) Por ser una historia que rinde homenaje a la tradición mexicana del Día de Muertos y porque muestra un mundo visual genuino, el cineasta mexicano Guillermo del Toro aceptó producir la cinta “El libro de la vida”, dirigida por su compatriota Jorge Gutiérrez. Del Toro describió a Gutiérrez como “un genio de la animación, es un genuino creador visual con muchas ambiciones y eso es lo que me convenció”. Recordó que conoció a Jorge por su trabajo en series como “Mad” y “El tigre”,

fue entonces cuando se dio cuenta que tenía un talento especial, el cual quedó demostrado nuevamente en “El libro de la vida”, porque “se hizo con un presupuesto bastante apretado para este tipo de películas, pero gracias a la creatividad y la estética que manejó Jorge la película es de gran calidad”. Confesó Gutiérrez, “Nací en 1964 y de niño viví algún tiempo con mi abuela en Guadalajara, para mí el Día de Muertos era como mi Navidad, íbamos al panteón, nos sentábamos en la tumba del abuelo, le poníamos flores frescas y luego íbamos
a donde vendían calaveras de hule negro, de barro, también vendían luchadores, como si los puestos fueran hechos especialmente para mí, aún conservo una de las calaveritas de esa época”. En su oportunidad, Jorge R. Gutiérrez destacó que “El libro de la vida” es un homenaje a las tradiciones mexicanas, a las historias que le contaban sus abuelos, pero también es un homenaje a la historia de la animación. Para Jorge “El libro de la vida” es un regalo de México al mundo, por eso desde su creación fue pensada para exhibirse en varios países. dia san jose | viva fest | experience electric present

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Lo spiritual y la realidad a veces se mezclan a un punto en cual no se sabe que creer. Además he oído hablar de vez en cuando sobre el “mal ojo” y situaciones en que lo místico se mezcla en las vidas de personas y les causa sufrimiento u otras condiciones médicas. Para estas situaciones hay aquellas personas que pueden comunicarse con los espíritus, o saben como combatir y curar estos problemas espirituales. Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a un curandero llamado Salvador Gata, que fue parte del tour de la película de horror Annabelle, en donde una muñeca (que primero hizo su apariencia en la película The Conjuring) es poseída por un entidad demoníaca que quiere causar daño a una familia

con recién nacido. El señor Gata estuvo presente con el tour de la película durante dos semanas, visitando varias ciudades y protegiendo a las aficionados que venían curiosamente a ver la película de Annabelle y la muñeca que estaba cerrada detrás de una vitrina. Aunque se dice que la historia de estas dos películas vienen de hechos reales, Gata discutió lo que hace en situaciones espirituales. “Yo soy curandero, espiritista, yo nací con el don de poder ver.” Dice Gata que consulta las cartas de tarot y sigue costumbres que vienen de muchas partes del mundo. “Cuando nos hacen una maldición o les ponen el ojo encima, es algo que tiene que ver con las creencias de nuestros antepasados especialmente los latinos; los mexicanos los

Aquí se mezclaron con la con las prácticas antiguas de los aztecas, olmeca y mayas. Hasta con el catolicismo que los misioneros españoles trajeron. Tenia en el cine una meza con varias de las herramientas que usa para combatir las fuerzas negativas; ramas, huevos, cartas de tarot y velas. “Yo lo que hago, limpio con un huevo, rezo un padre nuestro, le pongo agua bendita y le quito el mal de ojo.” Gracias a Salvador no hubo incidentes, solo unos momentos espeluznantes y divertidos viendo la película.

Pictured left: Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen (left), Silicon Valley Education Foundation President and CEO Muhammed Chaudhry, and Libier Gonzalez, associate director with Parent Institute for Quality Education.
Peter Schurmann NAM SAN JOSE When Libier Gonzalez first arrived to the United States from Mexico three years ago, her family could not afford Internet access at home. A mother of three, she says not having Internet impacted everything from her ability to find work to her children’s education. Then, about a year ago, she attended a workshop for low-income parents, where she learned about a Comcast program called Internet Essentials that allows families like hers to gain broadband access at dramatically reduced rates. “I found work through the Internet,” said Gonzalez, adding that her own kids were better able to keep up with their schoolwork. Gonzalez, who now works as an associate director with the non-profit Parent Institute for Quality Education, shared her story at a briefing in San Jose for ethnic media Tuesday. She spoke alongside Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen and Muhammed
Chaudhry, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Education Foundation (SVEF). “Access to the Internet has a potentially transformative impact for the entire home, not just students”, stressed Cohen at the briefing, hosted by New America Media and part of a Youth Tech Summit organized by Comcast and SVEF. Pointing to hiring practices, he noted that more than “80 percent of Fortune 500 companies now only accept job applications online.” That means anyone without access to broadband Internet, about 30 percent of U.S. families, is at a serious disadvantage when it comes to things like finding employment, health care, government services and education.
roughly equivalent to three times the population of the Northern California city of Oakland. “It has had a substantial impact,” he said.
the opportunities available to young people,” he said. “It’s an advantage that every family in America should enjoy, regardless of zip code.”
Internet Essentials offers eligible families low-cost broadband service for $9.95 a month. That compares to an average cost of about $90 a month for comparable services. Families also can purchase an Internet-ready computer for less than $150 and access digital literacy training sessions and materials. This year families who have an outstanding Comcast bill of more than one year, and who meet eligibility requirements, can also apply.
He also pointed out that in surveys conducted by Comcast, 97 percent of respondents said they need Internet so their kids can do their homework.
A Pew study from 2013 showed nearly a quarter of low-income adults in the country were not online, and that African Americans and Latinos had lower rates of connectivity than whites.
The program is available to families with children in grades pre-K to high school who qualify for free or reduced meals at their local school district, or 170 percent or below of the federal poverty level. It has also been extended to schools where more than 70 percent of students are low-income.
Launched four years ago, Internet Essentials has helped 350,000 families so far, or 1.4 million low-income Americans, gain broadband access, explained Cohen, pointing out the number is
As Cohen explained, the initiative is aimed in large measure at improving educational outcomes for lowincome students. “In the 21st Century, technology is essential … to taking advantage of
Chaudhury also touched on the digital disparities separating low-income families from more affluent communities around the Bay Area. “I see two Silicon Valleys,”
he told the audience, pointing to the “great schools and communities” that line the route along Highway 280 versus those along 101, where “you see the real challenges.” One of those challenges will come with the new computer-based assessments being rolled out this school year across California as part of the Common Core education standards. Chadhury noted that without access to the right tools, low-income students would be at a “distinct disadvantage” when it comes time to sit for the exams.
Pointing to the impact of Internet Essentials in bridging what he called the “racial achievement gap” in education, he described the program as a “game changer,” stressing that it is the direction that “Silicon Valley and the country need to go.” To find out more about Comcast’s Internet Essential program, visit their http:// www.internetessentials.com/ or call 1-855-INTERNET.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR October 2nd marked the National Hockey Leagues official announcement of the long awaited outdoor hockey game, part of their “Stadium Series”, which will see the San José Sharks meet up against their California rivals, the Los Angeles Kings in February of 2015. The live event was televised to millions as the members of the broadcast, speaking from right from the Levis Stadium field, made their remarks regarding the game and the storied history of both teams in California. Some of those at the podium included members of the Sharks organization, including 3 players that have recently been singled out as possible captains for the team, Joe Pavelski (08), Logan Couture

Mathews and Mayor Chuck Reed of San José were present along with members of the NHL and NFL, including NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman; NHL Chief Operating Officer John Collins; San Jose Sharks Chief Operating Officer John Tortora and San
Commissioner Bettman sought the needs of the fans in California, knowing that since the inception of the 3 California NHL affiliates in the 1990’s (SJ Sharks, LA Kings, and the Anaheim Ducks) the fan base and popularity of hockey has surged. “We know that there are great, passionate Sharks fans, displaced NHL fans from around North America that live in the Bay Area, and we figured you combine the Sharks with the interest in this state, and it was an enormous proposition,” the Commissioner said. This week marks the start of the 2015 NHL Hockey season with the Sharks taking on the Kings earlier in the week. The long awaited Stadium Series game will take place on February 21st 2015 and tickets are already on sale.
